[12:00] <nekostar> mv filename.one filename.two
[12:00] <_jan> is it possible to switch the kernel from the default installed on to the p4 optimized one supplied by synaptic without the need to recompile it, and if is there a howto or something on the wiki? i happen to find no info on that
[12:00] <eric_> gotcha
[12:00] <robitaille> _jan,   apt-get install linux-686
[12:01] <robitaille> or in synaptic install "linux-686"
[12:01] <erUSUL> _jan, yes it is possible whithout compiling
[12:01] <nekostar> robitaille, you seem to know so is there one optimized for atholons? <<-- atholon xp 2000+
[12:01] <robitaille> nekostar,   that would be linux-k7  I believe
[12:01] <erUSUL> nekostar, yes the k7 one
[12:01] <_jan> no further configuration needed? and can i remove the previous kernel then?
[12:01] <googiieee> to Madpilot: it seems to be working. thanx
[12:01] <erUSUL> _jan, yes
[12:02] <kevogod> What about AMD K8?
[12:02] <QMario>   Thank God it works!!!     Thank God it works!!!     Thank God it works!!!  
[12:02] <QMario> I can now view Java Applets. :)
[12:02] <lilg> Grr im now officially fucked off with this ubuntiu making cd's 5.10 grr and computers!!!
[12:02] <_jan> nice, thanks, wouldn't have thought it's that easy ;)
[12:02] <robitaille> _jan,  after you know it works fine, you can remove the previous one.  doesn't hurt to keep both for a little bit (beside the disk space it uses)
[12:03] <erUSUL> _jan, robitaille is right keep the old one just in case
[12:03] <synackuator> how do I fix broken libraries?
[12:03] <nekostar> o.o
[12:03] <kevogod> synackuator, Contact your mayor.
[12:03] <erUSUL> synackuator, ?? elaborate please
[12:03] <theconartist> configure: error: "Cannot find zlib.h. Make sure your CFLAGS environment variable contains include lines for the location of this file"
[12:03] <theconartist> how do i fix that error?
[12:03] <Niomi> haha kevogod.
[12:03] <_jan> robitaille, yes, actually i don't think the kernel uses that much space but once i know it works for sure i like to keep the system clean without any corpses in the long run ;) anyways. thanks for help i'll try
[12:04] <crimsun> theconartist: install zlib1g-dev
[12:04] <oasiao> so whats the deal with this XML code some company is trying to claim is theres?
[12:04] <synackuator> "Could not upgrade the system!  Fix the broken packages first."
[12:04] <crimsun> oasiao: crack.
[12:04] <erUSUL> theconartist, install zliv-dev or devel or similar
[12:04] <synackuator> that's what i get when trying to update stuff
[12:04] <erUSUL> theconartist, install zlib-dev* or devel or similar
[12:04] <Niomi> i have a broken package, i haven't bothered to fix it since it doesn't appear to be hurting anything, but i should do so
[12:04] <theconartist> erUSUL, roger that, crimsun hit the spot
[12:04] <oasiao> crimsun the company is on crack?
[12:04] <oasiao> :P

[12:06] <Mabus06> hmmm
[12:06] <Mabus06> I'm used to windows for typing accents.
[12:06] <ispiked> how can I browse the ubuntu source?
[12:06] <Mabus06> alt+130 should be a french accented e
[12:08] <ompaul> ispiked, install the source
[12:08] <ompaul> ispiked, the kernel apps or ?
[12:09] <ompaul> 
[12:09] <ispiked> ompaul: well, I want to find out if the bytcode interpreter is enabled in the freetype package.
[12:09] <ispiked> ompaul: so wherever that source would be.
[12:09] <ispiked> *bytecode
[12:09] <ompaul> ispiked, add the source repos and grab the package
[12:10] <theconartist> what is the package for jpeglib.h
[12:10] <TiMiDo> jpeglib
[12:10] <TiMiDo> ?
[12:10] <TiMiDo> !info jpeglib
[12:10] <ompaul> ispiked, do you need more help with that?
[12:10] <TiMiDo> or apt-cache search jpeglib

[12:11] <ispiked> ompaul: I'm pretty sure I have the soure repo enabled, but I don't see any "source" packages.
[12:11] <ompaul> Mabus06, alt gr +e  =   but where the c is I have no idea
[12:11] <steve> can anyone say y ati driver is not installing right?
[12:11] <nasimuto> I have a USB datacable and i've configured my Win XP machine to share DHCP through it to my Ubuntu 5.10. Ubuntu recocnizes the DHCP signal and identifies the device as usb0, but there is no net, i cannot ping my XP machine, nada !?
[12:11] <TiMiDo> theconartist do that on you're terminal
[12:11] <ompaul> ispiked, pop your /etc/apt/sources.list in paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[12:12] <theconartist> TiMiDo, your*
[12:12] <ompaul> !fr
[12:12] <ubotu> Va a #ubuntu-fr pour aide et discussion en francais
[12:12] <ispiked> ompaul: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3846
[12:12] <stpere> does gnome support the composite extension?
[12:12] <crimsun> stpere: gnome doesn't care
[12:12] <TiMiDo> stpere what extension should be?
[12:13] <anto9us> nasimuto, does ifconfig list the usb network cable?
[12:13] <apokryphos> stpere: well, it's an X issue
[12:13] <apokryphos> stpere: but as far as I've seen gnome doesn't provide much connection with it
[12:14] <lilg> Grr i now have to wait 4-6 weeks for the ubuntu to arrive here (havent had any luck with downloading and writing disc)
[12:14] <TiMiDo> lilg don't worry time will fly by
[12:14] <ompaul> ispiked, afik the US is broken, make that us ie in the file to edit use the command >> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list<< ie is Ireland heanet more bandwidth than most
[12:14] <lilg> its not when you want 5.10 NOW lol
[12:14] <crimsun> lilg: drive to a friend's house and borrow his burner
[12:15] <nasimuto> anto9us: yes
[12:15] <lilg> erm *counts* i have 4 burners in this house
[12:15] <anto9us> nasimuto, does it have an ip address allocated?
[12:15] <nasimuto> anto9us: yes
[12:15] <crimsun> lilg: so what's preventing a successful burn?
[12:15] <SWAT_> evening all, what's a good (possibly free) ERP and/or administrative program/system?
[12:15] <ispiked> ompaul: s/us/ie/ or is it not that simple?
[12:15] <lilg> nothing... a successful burn has been done
[12:16] <dell500> when i try to use freedb.freedb.org it says my connection is refused
[12:16] <nasimuto> anto9us: but its broadcast and inet ip addresses are different - could that be it ?
[12:16] <ompaul> lilg, I can't explain what I mean it is a statement, do not burn a file burn an image - if you understand the difference that might help - i.e. search for image in the help file
[12:16] <ompaul> ispiked, yeap
[12:16] <theconartist> eep
[12:16] <ispiked> ompaul: did you mean us sources is broken, or everything from .us is broken?
[12:16] <anto9us> nasimuto, no they should  be different
[12:16] <theconartist> another problem
[12:16] <crimsun> lilg: that directly contradicts what you stated earlier
[12:16] <theconartist> aclocal: configure.in: 118: macro `AM_PATH_GTK' not found in library
[12:16] <bonez> sup y'all?
[12:17] <crimsun> theconartist: install libgtk2.0-dev
[12:17] <lilg> crimsun: im now having fun with five "ubuntu" cd's throwing them round the rooom
[12:17] <ompaul> ispiked, then >>sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade<< I have just read so much us.blah is broken to trust it in any way
[12:17] <bonez> Sound like fun lilg ;P
[12:17] <lilg> it is!!!
[12:17] <theconartist> crimsun, sheesh mister encyclalpedia
[12:18] <lilg> i know the diffrence from an image burn and a file burn
[12:18] <Nihil> salve a tutti
[12:18] <bonez> Wow
[12:18] <nasimuto> anto9us: ok
[12:18] <bonez> How smart
[12:18] <lilg> i either have... an unseccusfu; burn
[12:18] <ompaul> !it
[12:18] <ubotu> italiano es #ubuntu-it per favore, andiamo! Grazi ... prego! :-)
[12:18] <anto9us> nasimuto, could be the firewall on windows machine?
[12:18] <bonez> unsuccesful ;d
[12:18] <lilg> a burn but doesent get past 6% retreiving packages
[12:18] <bonez> lol
[12:18] <bonez> then it must've been wrong when you dled it
[12:18] <lupus_> E: Build-dependencies for gaim could not be satisfied.
[12:18] <crimsun> lilg: is this phenomenon replicable on another network, say, from a university?
[12:18] <ompaul> lilg, you done a md5sum on that?
[12:18] <nasimuto> anto9us: firewall is off
[12:18] <lupus_> anyone know why that problem is?
[12:18] <ispiked> ompaul: in synaptic, I search for freetype and nothing comes up that looks like it'd be the source. :|
[12:18] <lilg> or a "burn" *boots* *whizzes* doesent load ... and then i boot to fc4 and it tells me its blank
[12:18] <crimsun> lupus_: sudo apt-get build-dep gaim
[12:19] <lilg> so i burn again and it fails lol
[12:19] <ompaul> ispiked, let me look
[12:19] <ispiked> ompaul: would it be something with -dev ?
[12:19] <lilg> i have downloaded from 2 diffrent mirros and tried 3 diffrent drives
[12:19] <lilg> md5 is 'ok'
[12:19] <lupus_> crimsun, that's what I did and then I get this error
[12:19] <anto9us> nasimuto, go to System | Network Settings and make sure your default gateway device is set correctly
[12:20] <theconartist> crimsun, it didnt do it :?
[12:20] <ompaul> ispiked, yeap
[12:20] <crimsun> lupus_: did you sudo aptitude update first?
[12:20] <bonez> Anyone can help me install cedega or Wine?
[12:20] <lupus_> crimsun, yes
[12:20] <crimsun> theconartist: what application are you trying to compile?
[12:20] <theconartist> e17 :(
[12:20] <lupus_> euhm sudo apt-get update that is
[12:20] <theconartist> evas in particular now
[12:20] <crimsun> theconartist: there are instructions in the forum
[12:21] <theconartist> crimsun, not for breezy
[12:21] <lee> I'm running hoary (5.04) and everything is up to date according to the update manager, but I can't play any movies in totem, it just dies with "The program 'totem' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
[12:21] <lee> '
[12:21] <lee> gah ...
[12:21] <crimsun> lupus_: paste your /etc/apt/sources.list on paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[12:21] <lilg> anybody in Wales, UK that has either a printed cd or a recorded one willing to post to Wales
[12:21] <crimsun> theconartist: then use deb-src lines and compile it on your box
[12:21] <{GuNNeR}> quick question - where can I find information on extra repositories for 5.10
[12:21] <bonez> I can't update from 5.04 to 5.10
[12:21] <theconartist> crimsun?
[12:22] <ispiked> ompaul: you don't have any idea where this option would be configured, do you?
[12:22] <crimsun> theconartist: download the source using the forum instructions and compile it on your machine
[12:22] <lee> any suggestions how to fix it?
[12:22] <ompaul> ispiked, I don't use freetype
[12:22] <propagandhi> !repos
[12:22] <ispiked> ompaul: what do you use?
[12:22] <theconartist> crimsun, whats the difference between using the sources and the deb-sources?
[12:22] <ompaul> you assume I use a computer to do what your attempting to do :-) apache and vi :)
[12:23] <crimsun> theconartist: the deb-srcs have been debianized for compilation and will generate deb(s) when compiled
[12:23] <theconartist> crimsun, but wont i get the same problems?
[12:24] <humbolt> I want to install ubuntu on a friends computer but one thing concerns me: In the old linux days you had to mount the floppy in order to write to it and if you did not unmount it befor taking it out you could loose data. How does that work in breezy? I do not know, since I don't have floppies anymore.
[12:24] <crimsun> theconartist: not if you read the debian/control:Build-Depends line and install all those packages first
[12:24] <crimsun> lilg: if you have multiple computers, just install 5.10 via netboot pxe
[12:24] <humbolt> Is this just the same as with usb-sticks or are mtools used somehow?
[12:24] <theconartist> crimsun, there arent packages for all those
[12:24] <lilg> oo oo crimsun: do you mind explaining i have the iso on one box and would like to install on the other
[12:24] <lupus_> crimsun, http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/d3847
[12:24] <crimsun> theconartist: there have to be if the packages generate debs.
[12:25] <humbolt> or can I just take the floppy out since it is mounted with sync anyway (while I do not really know if this really means, what I think it does).
[12:25] <crimsun> lilg: Google is your friend.
[12:25] <nasimuto> anto9us: theres no internet connection in Network Settings to set the default gateway device. How can i add a new connection ?
[12:25] <dell500> anyone here know of a free cddb server?
[12:26] <ompaul> ispiked, have a look at this stuff http://freetype.sourceforge.net/freetype2/index.html
[12:26] <propagandhi> lilg: whats currently on the computer you want to install 5.10 on?
[12:26] <lupus_> crimsun, can you try sudo apt-get build-dep gaim           and see if you get the same error
[12:26] <theconartist> crimsun, i cant find the forum page
[12:26] <crimsun> lupus_: that's simple, not everything has been built on Dapper yet.
[12:26] <theconartist> can you link me if you know where it is/
[12:26] <ckrueger> does anyone have any experience with the ipod shuffle under Ubuntu?>
[12:26] <crimsun> theconartist: use the search text entry box?
[12:26] <lupus_> crimsun, I had the problem with breezy to
[12:26] <shwag> how come synaptic won't sync the multiverse. looks like it can't connect ???
[12:27] <crimsun> lupus_: well you can't install the build-deps on Dapper yet
[12:27] <theconartist> crimsun, i have
[12:27] <crimsun> lupus_: Breezy is another story altogether
[12:27] <lupus_> how can I see which package is the cause of the problem?
[12:28] <crimsun> lupus_: I presume you're running Dapper now?
[12:28] <lupus_> indeed
[12:28] <crimsun> lupus_: you'll have to wait til the package(s) is(are) fixed
[12:28] <crimsun> lupus_: nothing you can do atm
[12:28] <lupus_> but how can I make apt-get give me more info ( I want to see which package is missing)
[12:28] <crimsun> lupus_: try installing each of the packages listed in the build-depends line of apt-cache showsrc gaim
[12:28] <lupus_> and it is not logical that gaim is build on dapper with missing packages for dapper
[12:28] <lupus_> ...
[12:28] <crimsun> lupus_: it'll be obvious which one(s) fails due to ftbfs
[12:29] <crimsun> lupus_: gaim has not built on dapper
[12:29] <ispiked> ompaul: ah, I found it. thanks again for your help.
[12:29] <ompaul> ispiked, np
[12:29] <KinkoBlast> Is there a way to run Gnome on my computer and see it on another that is faster than VLC?
[12:29] <crimsun> lupus_: if you'll notice, the Dapper version is identical to Breezys'
[12:29] <crimsun> Breezy's^
[12:29] <KinkoBlast> errr.
[12:29] <lee> are there any hoary to breezy upgrade gotchas that aren't mentioned in the wiki?
[12:29] <KinkoBlast> Is there a way to run Gnome on my computer and see it on another that is faster than VNC?
[12:30] <KinkoBlast> to many v-c's
[12:30] <Loevborg> KinkoBlast, there is "freenx"
[12:30] <crimsun> lupus_: that should give you a clue how packages are transitioned at the opening of a devel branch
[12:30] <KinkoBlast> Loevborg: ?
[12:30] <lupus_> k
[12:30] <lupus_> but I had the problem on breezy to
[12:30] <lupus_> so
[12:30] <nasimuto> anto9us: my /etc/network/interfaces file shows my usb connection as: iface usb0 inet static
[12:30] <lupus_> can you test
[12:30] <lupus_> if on breezy
[12:30] <thoreauputic> !freenx
[12:30] <ubotu> somebody said freenx was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreeNX
[12:30] <KinkoBlast> Loevborg: I for got to mention, the other end is a Windows box I'm NOT admin on.
[12:30] <lupus_> sudo apt-get build-dep gaim works
[12:31] <lupus_> plz
[12:31] <crimsun> lupus_: I'm not on Breezy
[12:31] <ispiked> ompaul: darnit. it's already enabled by default. :(
[12:31] <lupus_> can anyone on breezy do apt-get build-dep gaim and tell me the output?
[12:31] <Loevborg> KinkoBlast, amazing there's a free-of-charge windows client (albeit non-free in a debian sense I think)
[12:31] <lupus_> plz
[12:31] <Loevborg> amazingly
[12:32] <crimsun> lupus_: a remote amd64 box running Breezy runs the command successfully
[12:32] <lupus_> k thx
[12:32] <lupus_> lets see what package is giving the problem :)
[12:33] <KinkoBlast> Loevborg: Ok, and what is an easy way to grab (and push) file across the Internet?
[12:33] <Loevborg> KinkoBlast, grab? a browser? :)
[12:33] <nekostar> do te do te doooo
[12:33] <KinkoBlast> loevborg: A browser in my entire ~ dir?
[12:33] <eric_> could someone recomend a media that works
[12:33] <shwag> i think i have a problem in my sources.list
[12:34] <shwag> is there a way to revert back to the original ?
[12:34] <Loevborg> KinkoBlast, I don't know what exactly you want to do, sorry
[12:34] <CarlFK> Virtual PC supplies a Soundblaster16 - but I hear not all SB16 compatable cards are the same.  anyone know what driver should be used when running in VPC?
[12:34] <KinkoBlast> Whatever, I'll see if I cant set up an FTP server here.....
[12:34] <dle> Hi.  Has anyone else experienced the 'Error: given UDI is not a mountable volume' in Breezy/Gnome when trying to mount a floppy drive?
[12:35] <anto9us> nasimuto, does ifconfig show any packet transfers on usb0?
[12:35] <bonez> Anyone can help me install wine??
[12:35] <nasimuto> anto9us: actually it does
[12:36] <CarlFK> bonez - sudo apt-get install wine
[12:36] <eric_> you can eaily install wine from universe
[12:36] <theconartist> crimsun, i found something
[12:36] <nasimuto> anto9us: i run a network monitoring app on my XP and that has not detected any packets from my ubuntu laptop
[12:36] <CarlFK> oh yeah.. not in main...
[12:36] <bluefoxicy> what is freenx and why is it not in breezy
[12:36] <bonez> carlfk - doesnt work
[12:37] <CarlFK> bonez - you need to add "universe" to /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:37] <bluefoxicy> I kept hearing about "FreeNX integration" throughout breezy but then the package vanished, I was wondering what it was o.o
[12:37] <anto9us> nasimuto, have you tried pinging the linux box from windows?
[12:37] <dle> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76517 re the floppy thing.
[12:38] <nasimuto> anto9us: it timed out
[12:38] <eric_> how do you get more plugins for totem
[12:38] <nasimuto> anto9us: but my linux box is broadcasting a 192.168.55.255 address - maybe thats it ?
[12:39] <anto9us> nasimuto, no, that's a subnet mask, unless anyone would like to correct me
[12:40] <nasimuto> anto9us: subnet masks are 255.255.255.x
[12:40] <Inchabod> Has anyone had trouble with java linked to Limewire?
[12:40] <Inchabod> that can help me.
[12:40] <anto9us> nasimuto, sorry, I mean a result of the subnet mask
[12:40] <eric_> r u trying to ping lan or wan
[12:41] <nasimuto> anto9us: ok, ill try changing it and see what happens
[12:41] <bonez> How do I install wine? Someone who can help me from start?
[12:41] <apokryphos> !wine
[12:41] <bonez> !wine
[12:41] <shwag> This is my first time running ubuntu. Synaptic fails when trying to sync with the multiverse repository. what should I do ?
[12:41] <eric_> bonez go to synaptic
[12:42] <bonez> eric_ synaptic? =S
[12:42] <eric_> yes

[12:43] <tristanmike> bonez, System--Administration--Synaptic Package Manager
[12:43] <anto9us> lilg, try gnomebaker
[12:43] <lilg> anto9us, thanks
[12:43] <anto9us> nasimuto, sudo passwd
[12:43] <bluefrog-10> sudo su
[12:43] <eric_> then go to your settings and add universe to your repository (bonez)
[12:44] <nasimuto> anto9us: many thanks
[12:44] <lupus_> crimsun, can you give me the version of libnspr4 on the breezy
[12:44] <bimberi> shwag: Is this when you start synaptic?  If so, hit "Reload" and see if that completes without error
[12:44] <shwag> bimberi, no, its when I hit Reload that I get the error
[12:45] <GTroy> what do you do if you're not permitted to insert ndiswrapper?
[12:45] <lupus_>   libnspr-dev: Depends: libnspr4 (= 2:1.7.12-0ubuntu2) but 2:1.7.12-1ubuntu1 is to be installed

[12:59] <Stormx2> imterro: At the moment, I havn't had a need for video player
[12:59] <Stormx2> imterro: For music, I use Beep Media Player (BMP)
[12:59] <Stormx2> imterro: Which is infinately awesome
[01:00] <tristanmike> bonez, if you're typing a command to install something then you cannot have synaptic open as well, close synaptic and retry the command.
[01:00] <lilg> Stormx2: oo havent heard of this, not a fan of xmms amaroK is good but crashes will look
[01:00] <imterro> ahh i see
[01:00] <imterro> yeah i read about that on the wiki
[01:00] <imterro> it seems quite nice, i dont like the default player mich
[01:01] <Stormx2> lilg: Basicly Beep Media Player is XMMS, but it runs of GTK2. That makes it look very very nice. It also has equalisers, etc
[01:01] <imterro> im just trying to find this plugin thing :P
[01:01] <nekostar> has anyone defined more than one section "ServerLayout" in xorg.conf? if so how does one change between them?

[01:22] <cusco> or apache.conf
[01:23] <_TomB> apache2.conf
[01:23] <_TomB> says it's now a module
[01:23] <cusco> you should have like a mask to set
[01:23] <blue_> is a pentium M a 686 processor?
[01:23] <cusco> like the public_html must bue 744
[01:23] <gusto5> pentium M as in the celeron mobile?
[01:23] <cusco> or something
[01:23] <_TomB> and I checked the /etc/apache2/
[01:23] <icewt> JDigital: by using some better media player instead ;)
[01:23] <shwag> crimsun, yah...i thought I already installed that when I read the setup guide
[01:23] <cusco> _TomB: try chmodding to 744
[01:23] <JDigital> The better media player crashes on this file.
[01:23] <blue_> no as in the processor in the centrino
[01:23] <_TomB> same
[01:23] <evil_> I've installed the nVidia drivers, and when trying to config, I get an error saying X cannot be altered, can soemone help?
[01:23] <gusto5> JDigital, consider VLC
[01:23] <nekostar> j #xorg
[01:23] <blue_> the mobile intel processor
[01:24] <AMDXP> ok how do install a .deb file?
[01:24] <icewt> JDigital: what is the player that crashes then?
[01:24] <mustard5> AMDXP, dpkg -i packagname
[01:24] <Hobbsee> AMDXP: sudo dpkg -i filename<tab>
[01:24] <budluva> AMDXP, dpkg -i blah.deb

[01:24] <JDigital> mplayer crashes.
[01:24] <cusco> check the mask in the apache2.conf _TomB
[01:24] <AMDXP> thanks
[01:25] <cusco> _TomB: the real easyest way is to chek the error logs
[01:25] <cusco> somewhere in /var
[01:26] <_TomB> k
[01:26] <mustard5> _TomB, /var/log to be exact :)
[01:26] <AMDXP> thanks i needed that to set up my w32codecs
[01:26] <icewt> JDigital: oh. well, VLC does support subtitles too, but it's not that good in displaying them. i've used mostly kaffeine if mplayer didn't work, but it's kde application.
[01:26] <evil_> My nvidia drivers dont match the kernel and wont start, can someone help me.
[01:26] <_TomB> it's logging for .htaccess
[01:26] <_TomB> [Mon Oct 31 00:23:49 2005]  [crit]  [client 10.0.0.1]  (13)Permission denied: /home/tomb/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable
[01:26] <JDigital> I'll upgrade my mplayer
[01:27] <cahoone> excellent. the installer is running
[01:27] <cahoone> I still had to install libltdl-dev
[01:27] <AMDXP> my mplayer is frozen how do i kill it i looked in top and i dont see it running
[01:27] <ompaul> tomaj, can you log out, and use the "shutdown" down button there?
[01:28] <cusco> _TomB: chmod 777 .htaccess ?
[01:28] <Agrajag> AMDXP: top only shows what's using a lot of CPU
[01:28] <Agrajag> use ps -auxww to list all processes
[01:28] <budluva> AMDXP, ps aux |grep mplayer
[01:28] <cusco> loging for .htaccess?
[01:28] <AMDXP> thanks
[01:28] <shwag> crimsun, can you walk me through installing those please.
[01:28] <Agrajag> or killall mplayer to kill any process named mplayer
[01:28] <budluva> AMDXP, then kill -9 MPLAYERPID
[01:28] <budluva> amblin, mplayerpid being the PID for mplayer :)
[01:28] <cahoone> four & bimberi: thanks a lot!
[01:28] <JDigital> killall -9 mplayer
[01:29] <_TomB> having a .htaccess made no difference
[01:29] <LoneWolf071> how do i search an APT repository  for a package?
[01:29] <budluva> LoneWolf071, apt-cache search blah
[01:29] <_TomB> apt-cache search <package name>
[01:29] <cusco> _TomB: depends of what u got on it
[01:29] <budluva> LoneWolf071, but i dont know if you can search just a certain repo
[01:29] <bimberi> cahoone: yw :)
[01:29] <_TomB> it shouldn't matter
[01:29] <LoneWolf071> doesn't that just search you cache?
[01:29] <evil_> I'm having nVIDIA driver problems, someone =/
[01:29] <JDigital> LoneWolf071: easiest way is to use Synaptic
[01:29] <cusco> _TomB: pico ~/public_html/.htaccess
[01:29] <tomaj> ompaul: no i cant, it seems that whenever i try to shutdown through gnome either gnome or xorg freezes because the sound starts jumping
[01:29] <_TomB> I just made it
[01:29] <_TomB> cos there wasn't one
[01:30] <LoneWolf071> jdigital:doesn't that just search you cache?
[01:30] <_TomB> this is the module conf files
[01:30] <_TomB> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3849
[01:30] <JDigital> LoneWolf071: no
[01:30] <bimberi> LoneWolf071: yes, but its a cache of all packages in the repositories you have enabled (including uninstalled ones)
[01:30] <bimberi> too late
[01:31] <cusco> _TomB: ok I dunno.. forbidden is a weird mensage
[01:31] <cusco> _TomB: please remove the .htaccess
[01:31] <colm> I used automatix for nVidia driver install
[01:31] <colm> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=66563
[01:31] <_TomB> done
[01:31] <cusco> _TomB: to see what happens

[01:32] <sun_> where to find all source code of ubuntu
[01:32] <_TomB> there is nothing in public_html now
[01:32] <ompaul> tomaj, system - administration - login screen setup :: then the security tab << that might be of use to you
[01:33] <cusco> _TomB: not even a .htaccess ?
[01:33] <_TomB> no
[01:33] <_TomB> I removed it

[01:36] <dabaR> fmasi: where are you from?
[01:36] <dooglus> sun_: for each line in /etc/apt/sources.list, you'll need to make a copy of it and change the "deb" at the front to "deb-src" in the new copy.  then 'apt-get update', then 'apt-get source <package>"
[01:37] <fmasi> brasil
[01:37] <dabaR> fmasi: there is #ubuntu-br. I bet they know.

[01:39] <dooglus> grodius: flash is a proprietary advert delivery system.  do you really want it?
[01:39] <tomaj> i cant seem to shutdown from the desktop. whenever i want to shutdown i have to go to tty1 and type shutdown -r now and then shutdown after a restart before anything boots
[01:39] <mustard5> martincho, np
[01:39] <sun_> dooglus
[01:39] <dooglus> sun_
[01:39] <sun_> thanks
[01:39] <dan_> i need some drivers for my mobo, its an elitegroup 741gx-m. i was wondering if anyone could help me find em?
[01:39] <dooglus> you're most welcome
[01:39] <dan_> sound drivers
[01:39] <grodius> can someone tlel me where I can get respostiroies for breezy
[01:40] <dabaR> tomaj: what happens when you try shutting gown from ther desktop?
[01:40] <dooglus> sun_: see also "apt-get build-dep" - it will install all the packages you need to build a given package
[01:40] <tristanmike> !tell grodius about sources
[01:40] <mustard5> ubotu: tell grodius about repos
[01:40] <Stormx2> Does someone have VLC compiled with GTK2?
[01:40] <mustard5> :)
[01:40] <dabaR> grodius: ask the bot.
[01:40] <tomaj> dabaR i think xorg or gnome freezes because the shutdown sound starts jumping but the screen is blank so i don't know for sure, after that nothing happens and i have to restart
[01:41] <dabaR> is there no other command for shutting down? like, shutdown -n instead -r, so it really shuts down?
[01:41] <tomaj> dabaR well actually im pretty sure its frozen because I cant change to different terminals
[01:41] <tomaj> dabaR the problem isnt shutting down essentially, it's shutting down through the desktop
[01:42] <Hobbsee> dabaR: shutdown now -h
[01:42] <tomaj> i can shutdown by going to ttyl1 but that shouldnt be neccessary
[01:42] <AMDXP> yeah my mplayer keeps freezing when i try to play mpegs and totem just crashes and closes out
[01:42] <_TomB> :( this is annoying
[01:43] <Fred> is the ubuntulinux.nl repositry down/offline? :(
[01:43] <dabaR> tomaj: add a nice custom launcher that looks like an on off button with the command that Hobbsee told you.
[01:43] <mustard5> AMDXP, you on breezy..cause there is a ubuntu starters guide in your help menu with a section under applications called Movies and Musci
[01:43] <tomaj> dabaR why not just fix the problem with the log out option?
[01:43] <mustard5> *music
[01:43] <GTroy_> what repositories are loaded at install?
[01:44] <evil_> My nVIDIA drivers won't work and I've done all it said, I've changed nv to nvidia etc I need help!
[01:44] <evil_> =(
[01:45] <AMDXP> mustard5: yes I am in Breezy
[01:46] <leomoraes81>  /j #ubuntu-br
[01:46] <mustard5> AMDXP, go to System>>Help..and look for Ubuntu 5.10 Starter guide
[01:46] <AMDXP> i am looking at it now
[01:46] <dabaR> tomaj: how do you suggest you fix it? if you do not suggest anything, and if noone does either, I suggest you think out of the box, and deal with the given cirucumstances.
[01:46] <icewt> evil_: what guide have you followed?
[01:47] <dabaR> In the above prescribed way.
[01:47] <mustard5> AMDXP, tell me if it useless to you or not :)
[01:47] <_TomB> does anyone else have any ideas
[01:47] <tomaj> dabaR i can shutdown, that isnt the problem. the problem is fixing the problem which presented itself after upgrading to breezy
[01:47] <tomaj> lol badly worded
[01:47] <dan_> can anyone help me find sound drivers for my mobo?
[01:48] <dabaR> i undersatnd.

[01:49] <_jason> Mabus06:  does mplayer have sound for other files?
[01:49] <dabaR> yup
[01:50] <Mabus06> i dont know _jason
[01:50] <dabaR> crimsun: ok, I have the verbatim of the pcm softvol plugin from the web site in my .asoundrc. It very much sems I am supposed to replace all those variable types(float, int, blah) with real vaclues. How can Ifind out what those would be?
[01:50] <_jason> Mabus06:  did you setup mplayer to use esd?
[01:50] <odie5533> What is Blackdown Java?
[01:50] <evil_> brb
[01:50] <Mabus06> _jason, no that's what the wiki said would be the default driver, but it doesn't seem tobe on the list for me
[01:50] <_jason> ubotu:  tell Mabus06 about mplayer
[01:50] <_jason> Mabus06:  the instructions on the bottom will hopefully help you
[01:51] <evil_> Yeah I followed the right nvidia instructions, but when I try to start X it fails
[01:52] <evil_> I've changed nv to NVIDIA
[01:52] <Mabus06> _jason,  I just said that, it tells me to use ESD but it doesn't appear on my list. I already saw that link
[01:52] <allen7112> hey guys im new to ubuntu and im trying to figure out how to mount an existing ntfs partition and access the files in it
[01:53] <_jason> Mabus06:  edit ~/.mplayer/config like the wiki explains
[01:53] <bimberi> allen7112: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions is hopefully what you need :)
[01:53] <Mabus06> _jason, but maybe esd is not included?
[01:54] <allen7112> thankyou bimberi
[01:54] <bimberi> allen7112: yw :)
[01:54] <evil_> can someone help me with my nVIDIA problem, I use 6600 GT
[01:54] <_jason> Mabus06:  I installed mplayer-586 and all I had to do was edit that file to get esd to work
[01:54] <oasiao> ubotu: tell me
[01:54] <Mabus06> _jason, Warning: unknown mime-type for "/home/nick/.mplayer/config" -- using "application/*"

[01:59] <thesilentkiller> robotgeek: wemail? webmail? :-?
[01:59] <robotgeek> thesilentkiller: you can search it on the extensions for thunderbird site. open up thunderbird -> Tools -> Extensions
[01:59] <NetDreamz> anyone? vhcs?
[01:59] <jighead> BROKEN_LADDER: apt-get source <package> will download the source into your current dir, then you can use dpkg-buildpackage to create a .deb
[01:59] <robotgeek> thesilentkiller: and get more extensions
[01:59] <thesilentkiller> robotgeek: okie, thanks!
[01:59] <robotgeek> thesilentkiller: sorry about the typo

[02:10] <bimberi> odat: Apps -> Internet -> Bittorrent  has been fine for me (gnome-btdownload)
[02:10] <BROKEN_LADDER> okay, i'l remember that.
[02:10] <BROKEN_LADDER> now does anyone have any advice about my problem?
[02:10] <sadikxxx> hey
[02:10] <P8ntKid>  What aim clients do you all use?
[02:10] <dabaR> I did not read it.
[02:10] <TiMiDo> BROKEN_LADDER try searching for the modules
[02:10] <TiMiDo> P8ntKid pork,
[02:10] <apokryphos> P8ntKid: kopete
[02:10] <Inchabod> Is shareaza linux compatable?
[02:10] <dabaR> P8ntKid: there are a few for linux.
[02:11] <_jason> Mabus06:  well to be honest with you I don't know about dvd sound specifically, but I do know I had to setup sound correctly in mplayer to get it to work with files.  So if sound works on the files I can't help you, but if not then maybe getting that to work will solve the problem.  That's my idea anyway.
[02:11] <robotgeek> P8ntKid: gaim
[02:11] <TiMiDo> pork is a based text, aim client, kopete, gaim, etc, etc,
[02:11] <BROKEN_LADDER> TiMiDo what is the path for modules?
[02:11] <Mabus06> _jason, okay
[02:11] <TiMiDo> brockster /etc/modules
[02:11] <Mabus06> _j I have an mpeg
[02:11] <TiMiDo> i believed,
[02:11] <TiMiDo> or whereis modules
[02:11] <sadikxxx> how can i make my wireless adapter to load on boot. so it can automaticly syncronize the hours with ubuntu server?
[02:11] <dan_> hello
[02:11] <_jason> Mabus06:  in a terminal, mplayer file.mpeg
[02:11] <evil_> I need a pro with nVIDIA drivers, my kernel version of nvidia differs from my nvidia drivers installed so they wont run properly with nvidia instead of nv in xorg.conf
[02:11] <P8ntKid> TiMiDo: Is there a man file? Cuase there isnt for me.
[02:12] <durt> sadikxxx: ndiswrapper?
[02:12] <Stormx2> YAY I HAVE MY VLC!
[02:12] <dabaR> Stormx2: stop shouting.
[02:12] <_jason> Stormx2:  you got gtk2 working?
[02:12] <odat> bimberi, but does it resume downloads?
[02:12] <jighead> BROKEN_LADDER: /lib/modules/`uname -r`
[02:12] <Stormx2> _jason: yep!
[02:12] <BROKEN_LADDER> somehow it didn't install the module.  weird.
[02:12] <sadikxxx> i dont know if its using ndiswrapper
[02:12] <dan_> I need to find some drivers for my mobo, its a elitegroup 741gx-m. im starting to think that they are non-existant.
[02:12] <sadikxxx> i dont think so
[02:12] <Stormx2> dabaR: I am not shouting.
[02:12] <Stormx2> dabaR: I am positively screeching with excitement
[02:12] <BROKEN_LADDER> jighead i never knew about the function of ` ` cool
[02:12] <bimberi> odat: good question, i don't know sorry
[02:13] <_jason> Stormx2: what version did you compile?
[02:13] <Stormx2> _jason: Yep I got it working :)
[02:13] <sadikxxx> # The loopback network interface
[02:13] <sadikxxx> auto lo
[02:13] <sadikxxx> iface lo inet loopback
[02:13] <dooglus> BROKEN_LADDER: it's better to use $(uname -r)
[02:13] <sadikxxx> should i change auto lo to auto ra0 ?
[02:13] <dan_> Elitegroup 741GX-M Sound Drivers, can anyone help me locate them???
[02:13] <Stormx2> _jason: No compiling, someone on the forums released 0.8.2 and the wxvlc package with it
[02:13] <Stormx2> _jason: As a .deb
[02:14] <dabaR> sadikxxx: no. that is your loopback
[02:14] <_jason> Stormx2:  oh, link please?
[02:14] <dooglus> $() and `` are pretty much the same thing, but $() makes it clearer
[02:14] <Stormx2> _jason: Hang on.
[02:14] <newbie_at_linux> help i am getting this error when trying to start the ssh server chris@ubuntu:~$ sshd
[02:14] <newbie_at_linux> sshd re-exec requires execution with an absolute path
[02:14] <dooglus> newbie_at_linux: use the /etc/init.d/sshd script instead
[02:14] <Stormx2> _jason: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75322
[02:14] <edgeoc> I have a Dell Inspiron 600m with 5.10 on it, Is there a way I can get it to blank the screen when I close the lid. B/c right now it just stays on and eventually the screensaver comes on. Im not talking about a blank screen screensaver either, I mean for the light on the screen to turn off
[02:14] <edgeoc> is there a package i can install to acomplish this?
[02:14] <_jason> Stormx2:  thank you
[02:15] <Stormx2> _jason: You need libwxgtk2.6-0 installed, too.
[02:15] <Stormx2> _jason: Get that from synaptic ^_^
[02:15] <Stormx2> _jason: Or apt-get, whatever. Anyway, it works a treat for me :)
[02:15] <newbie_at_linux> dooglus: why am i getting this? i just installed ssh with server from synaptic.   bash: ./etc/init.d/sshd: No such file or directory
[02:15] <four> does anyone use vlc?
[02:15] <BROKEN_LADDER> why is installing the realtime-lsm mod from source not working for me?
[02:15] <apokryphos> sometimes
[02:15] <TiMiDo> newbie_at_linux sshd start;
[02:16] <dooglus> newbie_at_linux: it's something like that.  what do you see from "ls -l /etc/init.d/ssh*"?
[02:16] <dooglus> newbie_at_linux: so: "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start" will start the ssh server
[02:17] <Stormx2> four: yes, me.
[02:17] <evil_> I need a pro with nVIDIA drivers, my kernel version of nvidia differs from my nvidia drivers installed so they wont run properly with nvidia instead of nv in xorg.conf\

[02:17] <Mabus06> no sound, _jason
[02:17] <dooglus> newbie_at_linux: you'll probably find that the server is already running though.  do a "ps -ef | grep ssh" to check

[02:18] <Inchabod> Hmm I can't get JRE to work for limewire.
[02:18] <Stormx2> Damnit
[02:19] <apokryphos> Inchabod: did you install the .deb?
[02:19] <Stormx2> I wish i hadn't deleted all my anime
[02:19] <dabaR> newbie_at_linux: so, did you figure out why ./etc/init.d/sshd did not work?
[02:19] <_jason> Stormx2:  what version of vlc is that?
[02:19] <Inchabod> Yeah.
[02:19] <Neophite> oasiao: When I'm in the mood I do.
[02:19] <Stormx2> now all i have is hentai to test vlc with... XD
[02:19] <durt> evil_: are you trying to install the binaries or nvidia-glx?
[02:19] <dooglus> Stormx2: how did you get VLC working with gtk?
[02:19] <oasiao> Neophite cool
[02:19] <apokryphos> Inchabod: if you installed the appropriate one, then it should be working just fine.
[02:19] <Inchabod> It's the java.
[02:19] <Stormx2> dooglus: There were some links to the 2.8 version, which has GTK2
[02:19] <newbie_at_linux> dabar, dooglus: yes but its about 6 lines long i dont know if i should paste it in here
[02:19] <evil_> Either or durt
[02:19] <Inchabod> my Java Runtime Evnirement >.<
[02:19] <evil_> I've dried nvidia-glx
[02:19] <dooglus> Stormx2: what's the different between anime and hentai?  is it just the tentacles?
[02:19] <Malaprop> What's the name of the textmode program for configuring X?
[02:19] <Mabus06> nope, _jason
[02:19] <dabaR> newbie_at_linux: sudo invoke-rc.d ssh restart
[02:19] <evil_> and I've tried the binaries from there site, both don't work
[02:19] <apokryphos> Inchabod: if you installed the deb, then java certainly won't be the problem
[02:19] <four> hentai is anime porn
[02:19] <BROKEN_LADDER> Inchabod you have to use a specific java..like sun java or something.
[02:19] <Stormx2> And it is sexeh
[02:19] <dabaR> four: thanks for sharing
[02:19] <mustard5> ubotu: tell newbie_at_linux about pastebin
[02:19] <four> he asked
[02:19] <Inchabod> Yeah I did
[02:19] <apokryphos> Malaprop: it's simply a dpkg reconfiguration
[02:19] <Inchabod> I installed the sun java.
[02:19] <Inchabod> and it still didn't work.
[02:19] <jordan> hello all - i have a general linux question... I am having extremely poor performance with my cd rom drive... it used to be able to rip cd's at 8x, now I can hardly do 1.2x
[02:19] <robotgeek> four,dooglus,Stormx2 : #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:20] <Malaprop> apokryphos: What command should I run to do that? I'm not so hot with dpkg.
[02:20] <Inchabod> it says it is the problem >.M
[02:20] <_jason> Mabus06:  hrmm... the file plays with sound in totem?
[02:20] <apokryphos> Inchabod: then you're doing something wrong, because if you did install the .deb file it would be fine
[02:20] <Mabus06> one sec _jason
[02:20] <Inchabod> for Java it was a rpm
[02:20] <apokryphos> Malaprop: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:20] <Stormx2> robotgeek: Shh you
[02:20] <jordan> I have checked to see that DMA is enabled.. but no dice...
[02:20] <apokryphos> Inchabod: errr, so you *didn't* properly install the .deb then
[02:20] <dabaR> dooglus: Ha! crazy question... "is it just the tentacles?"
[02:20] <apokryphos> !tell Inchabod about javadebs
[02:20] <evil_> I need a pro with nVIDIA drivers, my kernel version of nvidia differs from my nvidia drivers installed so they wont run properly with nvidia instead of nv in xorg.conf
[02:20] <Neophite> Is it possible to sync a partion on one computer with a directory on another? (i.e. If a file is added to the partition then a copy of it will be sent to the directory.)
[02:20] <Inchabod> I thought you were talking about something else >.<
[02:21] <Stormx2> For anyone looking to run the GTK2 Version of VLC: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=410622&postcount=5 - you need libwxgtk2.6-0 too

[02:21] <maxwellcom> hi there- anyone able to answer a question about xserver problems?
[02:21] <Inchabod> Thanks apokryphos I'll look into it.
[02:21] <Mabus06> nope, _jason
[02:21] <dooglus> jordan: I turn on DMA by doing this: "sudo hdparm -d1 -X34 /dev/hdc"
[02:21] <Neophite> maxwellcom, Depends on what the question is mate.
[02:21] <maxwellcom> ok
[02:21] <hawking> how can i open a *.tgz file?
[02:21] <_jason> Mabus06:  have you installed all the multimedia codecs?
[02:21] <maxwellcom> neophite:
[02:21] <Inchabod> 5.04 is Hoary right?
[02:21] <dabaR> newbie_at_linux: install openssh-server with any installation program, and it jsut works. the above is the command to restart the server.
[02:22] <Neophite> Inchabod, Yes
[02:22] <maxwellcom> ubuntu does not detect any video display hardware
[02:22] <dooglus> hawking: list the contents with "tar tf foo.tgz" and extract it with "tar xf foo.tgz"
[02:22] <maxwellcom> when i use knoppix
[02:22] <_jason> ubotu:  tell Mabus06 about multimedia
[02:22] <Malaprop> apokryphos: thanks, this is just what I've been looking for
[02:22] <tristanmike> dooglus, what's with the "-X34" option?
[02:22] <_jason> Mabus06:  the ones listed on that page ubotu sent you?
[02:22] <Mabus06> all the ones shown my that article
[02:22] <Mabus06> yes
[02:22] <maxwellcom> it says that it cannot detect any known vendor, and then loads xfree86, and works fine
[02:22] <dooglus> tristanmike: I've no idea.  xine told me to do it!
[02:22] <maxwellcom> how can i get ubunto to do the same?
[02:23] <tristanmike> dooglus, oh, ok, thanx, just curious.
[02:23] <jighead> tristanmike: it's in the man page for hdparm, it sets the IDE transfer mode
[02:23] <dooglus> tristanmike: check the man page.  apparently 32 of it is for 'multiword DMA'
[02:23] <maxwellcom> any ideas neophite?
[02:23] <_jason> Mabus06:  can you link me to the file you downloaded so we can make sure I can play it
[02:23] <evil_> I keep getting this error, http://www.zevink.com/Screenshot.png, can someone help?
[02:23] <tristanmike> jighead, I don't understand what that mean, thus the question
[02:24] <tristanmike> *means
[02:24] <Mabus06> _jason, nevermind, it was speaker issues
[02:24] <Neophite> maxwellcom, There's the /etc/X11/xorg.conf that is probably the source of your trouble. Have a look in there and see if you can make it load xfree86
[02:24] <Stormx2> Last Exile sounds so much better in japanese
[02:24] <_jason> Mabus06:  lol :D, does the dvd work?
[02:24] <maxwellcom> aahhh
[02:24] <dabaR> maxwellcom you can install warty which has a free86 X. but, what graphics card do you have?
[02:24] <Mabus06> probably, one sec
[02:24] <dooglus> note that the man page also says: ""Prior to changing the transfer mode, the IDE interface should be jumpered or programmed (see -p flag) for the new mode setting to prevent loss and/or corruption of data. Use this with extreme caution!" - so be careful with the -X option!
[02:24] <sun_> what file of .d file
[02:24] <maxwellcom> it is a sapphire x700 pci-express
[02:25] <bimberi> odat: "resume download? YES - as long as you save file to same location as the existing download" ( http://biology.fresno.edu/thomp/computing/bittorrent.html )
[02:25] <dabaR> Neophite ya, that is a good idea too:-/
[02:25] <bonez> Anyone can help me with wine or cedega? I can't get it at all
[02:25] <dabaR> bonez: have you read the starter guide?
[02:25] <maxwellcom> is warty an old release of ubuntu?
[02:25] <maxwellcom> i have breezy i think
[02:25] <bimberi> maxwellcom: yes
[02:25] <dabaR> maxwellcom: yes, what graphs card?
[02:25] <Neophite> <----- Tried to install the fglrx drivers for his ATI 9600XT, but met with nothing but troubles.
[02:25] <maxwellcom> it is a sapphire ati x700, pci express, 256mb
[02:25] <Inchabod> bimberi, What was that command again for running the .deb files the top of my screen got ended.
[02:26] <Mabus06> lol _jason , yup
[02:26] <dabaR> see ati. get the drivers...
[02:26] <bimberi> maxwellcom: warty was the first, then hoary, now breezy, next dapper
[02:26] <_jason> Mabus06:  well now I know what I'll ask first next time :D
[02:26] <dabaR> are you in ubuntu now, or knoppix?
[02:26] <Neophite> maxwellcom, warty is rather old yes. Breezy is the latest to be released.
[02:26] <newbie_at_linux> so why does this error still come up? i did the command i was gave and got this->  * Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server...                             [ ok ]  but this error still happens ssh: connect to host 199.44.29.152 port 22: Connection refused
[02:26] <bimberi> Inchabod: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[02:26] <evil_> I keep getting this error, http://www.zevink.com/Screenshot.png, can someone help?
[02:26] <bonez> dabaR: yes I have
[02:26] <hawking> I have a file called sha256.py somewhere in my drive but I forgot the place how can i find it?
[02:26] <Inchabod> Thanks bimberi <3
[02:26] <dabaR> newbie_at_linux: what error?
[02:26] <maxwellcom> i'm in windows now, but can reboot into knoppix
[02:26] <Mabus06> _jason, this problem I doubt will be replicated
[02:26] <Chani> if I install kubuntu, will I get OOo 2?
[02:26] <bimberi> Inchabod: yw :)
[02:26] <newbie_at_linux> dabaR: ssh: connect to host 199.44.29.152 port 22: Connection refused
[02:26] <maxwellcom> should i do that and log back on?
[02:26] <bonez> dabaR: Many times, and a few different ones, cant dl it
[02:26] <dooglus> newbie_at_linux: did you try connecting to the ssh server from the machine it's running on?
[02:26] <newbie_at_linux> dooglus: no
[02:26] <apokryphos> evil_: what is that extra repository you have there?
[02:26] <dooglus> newbie_at_linux: try that first.  "ssh user@localhost"
[02:26] <bimberi> hawking: locate sha256.py
[02:26] <Mabus06> _jason, there is a blacklight on the back of my computer, which changed what the color of the input plugs were...
[02:26] <newbie_at_linux> my friend is the one trying to run the server
[02:26] <evil_> apokryphos I odn't know
[02:27] <maxwellcom> so does breezy not have xfree86?
[02:27] <evil_> I want to remove it
[02:27] <Neophite> maxwellcom, The only way to fix your ubuntu problem is in ubuntu.
[02:27] <maxwellcom> ok
[02:27] <dabaR> bonez: it has to install. what are you trying to install? wine?
[02:27] <Mabus06> _jason, or what my human eyes could see they were anyway
[02:27] <apokryphos> evil_: do it then; you can remove it from synaptic
[02:27] <evil_> How
[02:27] <dooglus> newbie_at_linux: it could be a firewall issue, or maybe he needs to set up port forwarding on his router.
[02:27] <_jason> Mabus06:  ah
[02:27] <bimberi> hawking: "sudo updatedb" will update the database that the "locate" command uses
[02:27] <hawking> thx
[02:27] <sun_> what's .d file
[02:27] <Hobbsee> what's the name of the build essentials package that you need to compile things again?
[02:27] <maxwellcom> but i cant boot into the x-windowing system, and i'm too newb to edit via cmd line
[02:27] <evil_> Oh I see.
[02:27] <Neophite> maxwellcom, I've installed Breezy and it works fine. Even without true ATI drivers.
[02:27] <bimberi> Hobbsee: build-essential (no s)
[02:27] <bonez> dabaR: Yes, that's the only one free, I don't get the CVS compilement
[02:27] <maxwellcom> hmmmm
[02:27] <dooglus> sun_: .d is usually for directory names, not files
[02:27] <newbie_at_linux> dooglus: he just installed ubuntu and hasnt messed with a firewall and he uses a dial up with an external modem
[02:28] <Hobbsee> bimberi: excellent, thanks - had a mental block
[02:28] <maxwellcom> so i just need to configure x then?
[02:28] <bimberi> Hobbsee: np :)
[02:28] <Hobbsee> :0
[02:28] <dooglus> newbie_at_linux: ask your friend to try ssh'ing to his own box
[02:28] <Hobbsee> *:)
[02:28] <evil_> I'm having problems with nVIDIA drivers, they aren't working because its newer then the one in my kernel it says... (HELP)!
[02:28] <sun_> oh
[02:28] <dabaR> bonez: well, to install itself, sudo aptitude install wine...after enabling universe. "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" in a terminal. enter your password.
[02:28] <robotgeek> evil_: what version of the kernel are u using?
[02:29] <Neophite> maxwellcom, Mind if I suggest that you unnewbify yourself on the command line thing. Using the cmd line has DEF. saved me from disaster.
[02:29] <evil_> robotgeek, how can I tell
[02:29] <evil_> What command must I use.
[02:29] <durt> evil: uname -r
[02:29] <nihil_> hallo
[02:29] <evil_> robotgeek 2.6.12-9-amd64-generic
[02:29] <maxwellcom> neophite: ur right, and i intend to... just wanted to get the graphical interface up quick
[02:30] <bonez> dabaR: How do I enable universe? I think I already have it though..
[02:30] <Neophite> maxwellcom, One thing that might work for you is to go into Knoppix and then see if you can't mess around with the files on your Breezy partitions from there.
[02:30] <sun_> dooglus:i download ubuntu-5.10-install-i386.iso, is this cd contain the ubuntu source code
[02:30] <maxwellcom> neophite: ya, thats how i fixed grub
[02:30] <SuperTails92> sun_: no
[02:30] <bonez> dabaR: deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ binary/
[02:30] <bonez> deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ binary/
[02:30] <bonez> deb-src http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ source/
[02:30] <bonez> deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ binary/
[02:30] <bonez> deb-src http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ source/
[02:30] <dabaR> bonez: dont paste. I told you what to do...
[02:30] <robotgeek> evil_: u seem to be using the correct breezy kernel. I am not sure if nvidia is installable on amd-64.
[02:30] <tristanmike> bonez, please don't paste in here
[02:31] <Neophite> maxwellcom, Then fark with Breexy's xorg.conf from Knoppix and see what happens :).
[02:31] <maxwellcom> neophite: can i boot into knoppix, edit the x config file and set it to use xfree86 somehow?
[02:31] <tristanmike> !tell bonez about repositories
[02:31] <dabaR> the file that opens tells you how to enable universe.
[02:31] <tristanmike> !tell bonez about wine
[02:31] <Neophite> maxwellcom, This I'm sure of.
[02:31] <dabaR> and post that file to the pastebin that ubotu told you about.
[02:31] <evil_> It is installable ont he AMD64, It has its own AMD64 drivers.
[02:31] <Nihil85> can anybody help me with my nvidia geforce fx5200 problems?
[02:31] <maxwellcom> neophite: but does breezy have xfree86?
[02:31] <sun_> superTails92,it's not source code ,yep?
[02:31] <newbie_at_linux> ubuto: tell bonez about pastebin
[02:31] <Sionide> aarrgghhghreghreoghrihvwrf2f
[02:31] <Sionide> i hate media players which go by id3 tags
[02:31] <Sionide> because all mine are wrong!!
[02:31] <Neophite> maxwellcom, Let me see how my xorg.conf looks and then I'll see if I can give you an answer to that one. :)
[02:31] <Sionide> rhytmnbox is poop :/
[02:31] <maxwellcom> thx
[02:31] <SuperTails92> Sionide: edit them
[02:31] <Nihil85> i try to install the drivers, but the program always says to me: "no precompiled kernel found" even if i have installed the kernel that was in the restricted modules
[02:31] <Sionide> i just did
[02:31] <sun_> SuperTails92
[02:32] <Inchabod> apokryphos, Thanks.
[02:32] <Sionide> and easytag messed them all up even more
[02:32] <Sionide> bleh!
[02:32] <evil_> Anyone help me with my AMD64 nVIDIA drivers, its not working.
[02:32] <SuperTails92> sun_: it contains no source code
[02:32] <evil_> I've followed the installation guide.
[02:32] <durt> maxwellcom: breezy has xorg
[02:32] <maxwellcom> durt: thx, i'm a little confused, is xorg and xfree86 the same thing?
[02:33] <sun_> then,what's contain
[02:33] <Sionide> maxwellcom, they're forks of the same application
[02:33] <maxwellcom> oic
[02:33] <sun_> SuperTails92, how to get source code
[02:33] <Sionide> maxwellcom, xorg used to be xfree86 but someone didn't like the way the license was or something so he started xorg which is now the better version - (very basic version)
[02:33] <Sionide> (of what happened)
[02:33] <thesilentkiller> is there a search option in Nautilus?
[02:33] <durt> evil_: have you asked in #nvidia? them folks might know a little more
[02:33] <maxwellcom> interesting
[02:33] <dooglus> maxwellcom: the short version: everyone used to use xfree86 until they changed the license.  then everyone switched to xorg
[02:34] <maxwellcom> oic
[02:34] <sun_> SuperTails92, what's contain in it
[02:34] <newbie_at_linux> how can i change the password for my username?
[02:34] <dooglus> newbie_at_linux: type "passwd"
[02:34] <maxwellcom> well, for some reason, knoppix uses xfree86 on my comp, and works fine, but xorg think i don't have any display hardware installed
[02:34] <bimberi> thesilentkiller: There's Places -> Search for Files
[02:34] <maxwellcom> *thinks
[02:35] <bimberi> newbie_at_linux: or System -> Prefs -> About me (top right)
[02:35] <thesilentkiller> bimberi: great. thanks.
[02:35] <bimberi> thesilentkiller: yw :)
[02:35] <zblach> quick question. is there a flash plugin that works with dynamic text?
[02:35] <Nihil85> i try to install the drivers, but the program always says to me: "no precompiled kernel found" even if i have installed the kernel that was in the restricted modules. can anyone help me?
[02:36] <dooglus> "about me" is a crappy place to put the "change password" button dontcha think?
[02:36] <SuperTails92> sun_: the files needed to install Breezy
[02:36] <Carbone> i have a question about usb hardrives
[02:36] <Carbone> how to mount them propperly in fstab
[02:36] <Bikuri> Mr Brown is here?
[02:37] <bimberi> dooglus: not sure what's better though, perhaps it's own menu item
[02:37] <bimberi> *its
[02:37] <dabaR> what is it Bikuri ?
[02:37] <thesilentkiller> anyone using Webmail extension with Thunderbird, for fetching yahoo mails?
[02:37] <maxwellcom> neophite still here?
[02:37] <jlvc> dooglus: It is. And "about me" is a bit screwed in general, since it has a photo totally separate from the login one.
[02:38] <GTroy_> ##linux
[02:38] <GTroy_> sorry guys
[02:38] <dooglus> bimberi: perhaps it's ok where it is, if "about me" was renamed to "account details" or something.  I just don't think that my password is anything about me.  "about me" suggests to me phone number, address, favourite band, etc.
[02:38] <Bikuri> I'm having problens with my kubuntu desktop. when the kubuntu was installing, something get wrong and I restarted my computer
[02:38] <sun_> SuperTails92, what's Breezy,install it for what
[02:39] <Bikuri> Now I dont know how to  fixed
[02:39] <apokryphos> Bikuri: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[02:39] <apokryphos> Bikuri: it should pick up from where it left off
[02:39] <Neophite> maxwellcom, Sorry, had to go take care of my catboxes.
[02:39] <dooglus> sun_: that .iso you mentioned is full of binaries for installing ubuntu.  no source code.  ubuntu is a binary distribution.  we don't tend to compile anything for ourselves.
[02:39] <maxwellcom> hehe ic
[02:39] <tomaj> am i the only one that experiences a change of resolution during boot before switching into gnome?
[02:40] <Bikuri> my Sinaptic its trynig to install but I think its stopped
[02:40] <bimberi> dooglus: agreed
[02:40] <paolob> Hi guys! I've just installed edubuntu on my ltsp server, and I'm trying to boot a client. All is ok, with the nic, but when booting the client's linux, the client fails "calculating modules dependencies": it says: "FATAL: could not open /lib/modules/2.6.12-9-386/modules.dep.temp for writing: Read-only file system". Any idea?
[02:40] <jighead> Carbone: the gnome vfs manager should automatically handle usb drives so that you don't have to edit fstab
[02:40] <Bikuri> but thanks for help... I will try that.
[02:40] <waseem> hi does anyone here know how to configure ubuntu to print?
[02:40] <sun_> dooglus,i got it
[02:40] <dabaR> waseem: ya, you connect a printer to it
[02:40] <Neophite> maxwellcom, I looked at my xorg.conf file and didn't see anything about xfree86. I did see what Sionide had to say about the subject so I'm not suprised.
[02:40] <jlvc> System->Administration->Printing->New Printer
[02:40] <Carbone> jighead: yea, but i want it mounted somwhere specific
[02:40] <sun_> dooglus,where to get the source code
[02:40] <maxwellcom> neophite: ya.. i figured that might be the case
[02:41] <waseem> dabaR: its connected through lan
[02:41] <dooglus> sun_: here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/source/
[02:41] <deang> Would someone mind pointing out my edubuntu apt configuration err?:  http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3853
[02:41] <dooglus> sun_: I'm guessing you don't have ubuntu installed, right?
[02:41] <maxwellcom> is there a way to install xfree86 into breezy?
[02:41] <jighead> Carbone: /dev/sda1 /somdir auto rw,user,noauto  0 0
[02:41] <Neophite> maxwellcom, I'm not sure.
[02:41] <sun_> dooglus,now i'm in ubuntu
[02:42] <maxwellcom> probably pretty complicated
[02:42] <dooglus> sun_: so follow the steps I told you earlier
[02:42] <bonez> Anyone can tell me a C compiler? Says so on a webpage I need it to install wine >.<
[02:42] <Neophite> maxwellcom, You ain't shitting. :)
[02:42] <jighead> Carbone: make sure that your usb drive is showing up as sda1
[02:42] <maxwellcom> i guess i should try installing that previous release (which has xfree86)?
[02:42] <sun_> dooglus,ok
[02:42] <jlvc> waseem, When you click "New Printer" you can select "Network Printer".
[02:42] <Carbone> jighead: thanks very much! but should it not say ext3 somewhere on that line too?
[02:42] <bimberi> deang: breezy-backports doesn't exist (yet), comment them out for now
[02:42] <dooglus> bonez: gcc is a C compiler, but wine comes pre-compiled for ubuntu
[02:42] <dabaR> bonez: install it like I told you.
[02:42] <Bikuri> I'm back.. how I know when some aplication its stoped? because may synaptic was (or is) tryng to fix the instalation of kubuntu-desktop...
[02:43] <Neophite> maxwellcom, I'm not sure if it does or not; but it's worth a shot :).
[02:43] <bonez> dabaR: Tried to but wont work >.<
[02:43] <nicoal> is there a simple wav sound recorder out there somewhere?
[02:43] <jighead> Carbone: the auto detects the fs, so if you are using a fat fs that cross mounts on windows or something, it'll still work
[02:43] <Bikuri> But I don't know if is working
[02:43] <waseem> jlvc: its all set up, its not printing though
[02:43] <maxwellcom> neophite: where is the xorg.conf file located?
[02:43] <nicoal> record from a mic... or something ?
[02:43] <dooglus> /etc/X11 maxwellcom
[02:43] <Neophite> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:43] <Bikuri> I guess its stoped.. but I dont know for sure
[02:43] <bonez> dooglus: It doesn't seems pre-compiled
[02:43] <tomaj> am i the only one that experiences a change of resolution during boot before switching into gnome?
[02:43] <maxwellcom> dooglus, neophite, & others: many thanks for your help
[02:43] <Bikuri> someone?
[02:43] <Neophite> maxwellcom, No problem. Sorry I couldn't be more.
[02:43] <tomaj> Bikuri what happened when you did it?
[02:44] <maxwellcom> you've got me on the right track- much thanks
[02:44] <jlvc> waseem, What sort of printer connection is it that you're making? i.e. CUPS, Windows, Unix/LPD.
[02:44] <Neophite> Is it possible to sync a partion on one computer with a directory on another? (i.e. If a file is added to the partition then a copy of it will be sent to the directory.)
[02:44] <thesilentkiller> is it possible for me to install a not-the-latest version of thunderbird? i want version 1.0.6 while the latest is 1.0.7 (to avoid a bug)
[02:44] <waseem> jlvc: cups
[02:45] <theanimals> Aqui se fala portugues?
[02:45] <Neophite> thesilentkiller, Google up the old binaries.
[02:45] <Carbone> jighead: thank you for that tip too, but i have it formated as ext3 already
[02:45] <jighead> Neophite: rsync does remote syncing, and can be set up in a cron to run daily, hourly or whatever
[02:45] <jlvc> waseem, Can you print to it from other machines on the network?
[02:45] <thesilentkiller> Neophite: thanks
[02:46] <Bikuri> I guess its working now.. thanx
[02:46] <sun_> dooglus,i got it
[02:46] <jlvc> waseem, i.e. do you know that it is a problem with the printer client, and not the server
[02:46] <Carbone> ok thanks for the help!
[02:46] <bonez> dooglus: The page you sent me is the one I'm following already
[02:46] <Neophite> jighead, Thanks mate. I'll have to read about rsync.
[02:46] <Bikuri> thanx tomaj
[02:46] <four> who knows where i can obtain error: Missing header file ffmpeg/avcodec.h
[02:46] <theanimals> i want channel version in pt-ubuntu
[02:46] <four> oops copied a little much there
[02:46] <tristanmike> theanimals, /join #ubuntu-pt
[02:46] <jighead> Neophite: np, the rsync man page is one of the few that actually has some really useful examples
[02:46] <theanimals> thaks
[02:46] <tristanmike> yup, yup :)
[02:46] <waseem> jlvc: its probably the server
[02:46] <Neophite> thesilentkiller, No thanks needed man, mine was the jerk-off's answer :).
[02:47] <waseem> under State: it says the file is queud
[02:47] <dooglus> deang: I don't know if you got an answer to your question or not, but there are no breezy-backports yet.
[02:47] <thesilentkiller> Neophite: hmm..thats true. i take it back. >:P
[02:47] <Neophite> jighead, Lol, yeah... man pages usually confuse me more than they help me out. :)
[02:47] <Neophite> thesilentkiller, ^_^
[02:47] <newbie_at_linux> dabar, dooglus: it worked thanks i was using the wrong ip once i got the right one it worked
[02:47] <thesilentkiller> Neophite: lol
[02:48] <Hito> could someone aid me please?

[02:58] <Chani> bimberi: I don't understand... is that like debian's stable/testing differences, or is it safer?
[02:58] <Cooner750> Does anyone here know how to install mouse cursor themes?
[02:58] <budluva> budluva@kronsy:~$ file linuxq3ademo-1.11-6.x86.gz.sh

[03:06] <rsosborn> Hello all
[03:06] <rsosborn> linux noob needing some help
[03:06] <durt> coon: put them in ~/.icons
[03:06] <[koji] > anyone experiencing lockup when screensaver starts?
[03:06] <rsosborn> I'm trying to DL IE 6 because my algebra class requires it for the homework
[03:06] <rsosborn> when I download it using wine
[03:06] <rsosborn> some reason the install fails
[03:06] <Octane> anyone here manage to install latest skype?
[03:06] <Octane> i get a dependency error
[03:07] <rsosborn> it says make sure I'm connected to the internet even though I am connect
[03:07] <durt> internet explorer? why do you need it exactly?
[03:07] <rsosborn> so I'm not sure why I'm getting this errror
[03:07] <icewt> Octane: http://seveas.ubuntulinux.nl//pool/breezy-extras/skype_1.2.0.18-1ubuntu0_i386.deb
[03:07] <rsosborn> because My college algebra class your homework is online and it will only run the home work site with IE
[03:07] <Octane> icewt: thanks so much
[03:07] <icewt> Octane: but remove the non-working first
[03:08] <rsosborn> I tried through firefox and it just won't work
[03:08] <durt> rsosborn: whats the site?
[03:08] <bimberi> Octane: Did you get it here? - http://seveas.ubuntulinux.nl/dists/breezy-seveas/breezy-extras/
[03:08] <Octane> no, i got it from skype site :)
[03:08] <rsosborn> you have to have some special SW that only works with IE
[03:08] <Cooner750> and how do I get to ~./Icons  ?
[03:08] <apokryphos> !tell Octane about skype
[03:08] <rsosborn> you can get to the site and all but once you go to do the Homework it won't allow it
[03:08] <apokryphos> explains the problem there
[03:09] <Octane> apokryphos: this is for my chroot32 in amd64
[03:09] <apokryphos> ok
[03:09] <Octane> thank you though :)
[03:09] <durt> coon you have to make a directory .icons in your home directory if its not already there
[03:10] <stevesing> when installing ubuntu over a previous *cough*mandrake*cough* linux installation can you keep your files? (as in not format over them)
[03:10] <apokryphos> Octane: though? The skype package it points to is for 32bit
[03:10] <jighead> stevesing: yes
[03:10] <apokryphos> there aren't any amd64 skype packs, I'm pretty sure
[03:10] <Octane> apokryphos: i know its not out for 64, thats why im installing it in 32 bit env
[03:10] <stevesing> cool
[03:10] <apokryphos> Octane: ok, sure; was a little thrown by the "though", but nevermind.
[03:10] <odie5533> Does anyone get freezing problems when using totem?
[03:10] <Cooner750> ah yes thanks!. I had to select "Show Hidden Files"
[03:11] <Octane> ah :)
[03:11] <odie5533> Is totem known for freezing?
[03:11] <jighead> stevesing: as long as your home dir is on a separate partition from yhe rest of the os
[03:11] <apokryphos> totem is pretty lame
[03:11] <odie5533> apokryphos, what do you use?
[03:11] <matitaccia> Running from live cd here... looks nice! Altough my keyborg it's not working correctly...
[03:12] <durt> rsosborn, is there an option in firefox to "identify as IE"?
[03:12] <apokryphos> odie5533: tend to alternate between mplayer and kaffeine
[03:12] <rsosborn> hmmm ? not sure
[03:12] <rsosborn> durt: where would I look for this at ?
[03:12] <Parisi> I like kaffeine, too bad it isnt for gnome.
[03:13] <apokryphos> not gtk, but can of course be run in gnome just fine
[03:13] <icewt> kaffeine isn't that stable either though ;)
[03:13] <apokryphos> perfectly stable for me
[03:13] <matitaccia> bye bye guys. I'll better go to sleep. 3:00 AM here.
[03:13] <apokryphos> the one in hoary had problems but all those issues seem to be addressed now
[03:13] <Parisi> Actually, now that i think about it, VLC is pretty cool.
[03:13] <icewt> for me it crashes every time i close it
[03:13] <apokryphos> yeah, it's not bad
[03:13] <durt> rsosborn, i dont know - maybe you should get opera :)
[03:14] <matitaccia> !@#$%^&*()_}{":?>< Well... I don't find the slash to exit...
[03:14] <rsosborn> lol
[03:14] <ubotu> matitaccia: Wish i knew
[03:14] <apokryphos> icewt: if you run it from a terminal, do you get any useful output?
[03:14] <rsosborn> I will just boot in xp and forget about it
[03:14] <rsosborn> lol
[03:14] <Parisi> rsosborn Not a bad idea ;p
[03:14] <rsosborn> I just wanting to stay in the linux eviro
[03:14] <apokryphos> matitaccia: here: /
[03:14] <rsosborn> :)
[03:14] <stevesing> ok, i could be wrong, but for those of you who have used mandrake , does it seem to you that ubuntu is a million times faster too?
[03:14] <odie5533_> Anyone know why both VLC and Totem freeze when playing video files?
[03:14] <matitaccia> thx
[03:14] <Parisi> odie5533_ You should look for an output on it.
[03:15] <odie5533_> where?
[03:15] <sun_> what's the difference between warty,hoary,breezy,dapper
[03:15] <caonex> anybody here running ubuntu with amd64 and ati xpress 200M?
[03:15] <Parisi> stevesing No No and No
[03:15] <odie5533_> sun_: versions of ubuntu
[03:15] <stevesing> hmm?
[03:15] <stevesing> you think mandrake is faster?
[03:15] <icewt> apokryphos: not really
[03:15] <apokryphos> icewt: could you pastebin it?
[03:15] <Parisi> steve I think its about the same really.
[03:15] <aurax> what raid technology doubles the speed of the drive?
[03:15] <icewt> apokryphos: sure
[03:15] <apokryphos> thanks
[03:16] <sun_> i wish to know the detailed difference
[03:16] <Parisi> sun_ Easy: www.ubuntu.org
[03:16] <stevesing> i think ubuntu runs much much better in the system configuration parts and the apps load better too (im running it on a 320mhz machine)
[03:16] <vbgunz> anyone know how I can monitor my uptime without resorting to installing a gdesklet?
[03:16] <evil_> Anyway to get Limewire running in Ubuntu? its RPM only @ limewire.com...
[03:17] <apokryphos> vbgunz: in terminal: uptime
[03:17] <Parisi> steve The thing i do not like about mandrake is teh changes between different releases, it seems to be either a hit or miss.
[03:17] <aurax> anyone ?
[03:17] <apokryphos> vbgunz: or.. superkaramba 8)
[03:17] <Cooner750> now how do I install icon sets?
[03:17] <sun_> Parisi:what's the most stable version
[03:17] <steve> Parisi, sorry?  I think u mean "stevesing"  ;)
[03:17] <apokryphos> evil_: no, it's not.
[03:17] <stevesing> lol
[03:17] <Parisi> steve Ya, the other Steve
[03:17] <vbgunz> apokryphos: yeah thats cool... superkaramba?
[03:17] <stevesing> sorry, it supposed to be stevetevingston
[03:17] <stevesing> XD
[03:17] <thechitowncubs> how can I change the resolution of my GDM?
[03:17] <odie5533_> Any have any idea why Totem and VLC freeze for me?
[03:17] <evil_> can someone help me install Wine, it just won't work
[03:17] <tristanmike> Cooner750, System--Preferences-Theme.  Then pick "Install Theme", and go into theme details and pick the icon therem
[03:17] <tristanmike> *theme
[03:17] <thechitowncubs> it doesn't use the resolution i set with gnome
[03:17] <vbgunz> apokryphos: is that like a gdesklet? I would like one and found one *but* it sucks :(
[03:18] <apokryphos> vbgunz: superkaramba is very cool, indeed :). Annihilates gdesklets 8)
[03:18] <jighead> aurax: none of them, raid0 will increase i/o performance
[03:18] <vbgunz> apokryphos: is it in Synaptic
[03:18] <thechitowncubs> Does anyone have a laptop and a computer on the same desk?
[03:18] <steve> lol
[03:18] <apokryphos> vbgunz: yes
[03:18] <Parisi> sun_ Start with the most up to date, stable, which happens to be Breezy, 5.10
[03:18] <vbgunz> apokryphos: cool!
[03:18] <thehil>   do I have to press the volumn up button on my IBM thinkpad t22 model to hear the sound. I can't hear the sound. alsamixer and KDE artsd both work. What's wrong?
[03:18] <apokryphos> vbgunz: though it's not the latest version 8)
[03:18] <vbgunz> apokryphos: is it eyecandy?
[03:18] <apokryphos> vbgunz: I'd recommend you doing a sudo apt-get build-dep superkaramba, and then just compiling from source
[03:18] <notsteve> lol
[03:18] <Cooner750> ah yes. Now I have custom icons :)
[03:19] <apokryphos> vbgunz: maany themes in the Karamba section on kdelook.org
[03:19] <Parisi> I just wanna build a new machine so i can run both Linux and Windows, they both should co exist.
[03:19] <vbgunz> apokryphos: one sec
[03:19] <evil_> can someone help me install Wine, it just won't work
[03:19] <oasiao> anyone know of a program for ubuntu like a diary or journal ?
[03:20] <steve> oasiao, for the web?  or just local?
[03:20] <Riddell> kontact has one
[03:20] <oasiao> local
[03:20] <oasiao> i got a blog
[03:21] <vbgunz> apokryphos: 0.36-1 is the version in synaptic
[03:21] <steve> oasiao, er.. a text editor? :)
[03:21] <evil_> when trying to install wine i get this error
[03:21] <evil_> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[03:21] <evil_> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[03:21] <Parisi> Heh.
[03:21] <apokryphos> oasiao: kdiary
[03:21] <steve> evil_, sudo
[03:21] <bimberi> evil_: close synaptic and try again
[03:21] <vbgunz> apokryphos: I am using gnome... will it still provide eye candy? I would like an eye candy desklet stating my uptime... that would be cool
[03:21] <oasiao> well something like that but the journal keeps everything in journal format
[03:21] <tristanmike> evil_, do you have synaptic open? close it
[03:21] <apokryphos> vbgunz: I know; there's a 0.37beta2 out
[03:21] <nekostar> oi
[03:21] <oasiao> Oh apokryphos ty and ty steve too
[03:21] <evil_> k, now I get this.
[03:21] <evil_> Package wine is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[03:21] <evil_> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[03:21] <evil_> is only available from another source
[03:21] <evil_> E: Package wine has no installation candidate
[03:21] <apokryphos> vbgunz: it will work fine in gnome too -- and there's many things to show uptime, yup.
[03:21] <vbgunz> apokryphos: nah, I don't need a beta... have enough bugs at the moment :)
[03:21] <thehil> Does anyone know how to enable the sound in ibm thinkpad t22?
[03:21] <evil_> it cant be missing..
[03:21] <vbgunz> apokryphos: ok I am going for it :)
[03:22] <evil_> I got the instructions directly from the website.
[03:22] <jighead> !tell evil_ about pastebin
[03:22] <Parisi> I'll brb
[03:22] <bimberi> evil_: what architecture are you on? amd64?
[03:22] <pablo928> Hi I have aproblem with gamin_server, when I first boot breezy sometimeses
[03:22] <vbgunz> apokryphos: 15 new packages down the pipe :P
[03:22] <evil_> yes
[03:22] <evil_> 64.
[03:22] <sun_> Parisi:where to get usage of all ubuntu commands
[03:22] <apokryphos> evil_: do NOT paste in here
[03:22] <bimberi> evil_: wine is only available for i386 i'm afraid
[03:22] <nekostar> i lost my menu's when right clicking on my desktop... as well as my icons. ive checked in applications > systemtools > configureation editor > apps > nautilus and its set to show the desktop but its not doing so [i know b/c i have icons and files and other random stuff on there :P]  how can i make it come back !_!
[03:23] <vbgunz> apokryphos: check this out... 21:17:16 up 19:40,  3 users,  load average: 0.88, 0.78, 0.62... 3 users? theres only me?
[03:23] <evil_> so there is no way I can run wine in amd64
[03:23] <icewt> apokryphos: it's pretty much there http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3855 - but i don't think there's really anything that would help
[03:23] <GTroy> anyone got a good source.list for breezy?
[03:23] <nekostar> ive been messing with enlightenment if that helps
[03:23] <Amaranth> nekostar: open a terminal and type "killall nautilus"
[03:23] <hit3k> When i upgrade to breezy will i lose all my Gnome configurations? like the changed splash screen?
[03:23] <steve> nekostar, try "killall nautilus"
[03:23] <durt> what are some good system status apps that can sit on my desktop?
[03:23] <bimberi> evil_: you can try setting up a 32 bit chroot ...
[03:23] <nekostar> !sources
[03:23] <bimberi> !chroot
[03:23] <ubotu> I guess chroot is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575
[03:23] <evil_> bimberi how
[03:23] <nekostar> thanx steve and Amaranth
[03:23] <jighead> durt: gkrellm
[03:23] <Amaranth> hit3k: during the dist-upgrade it'll ask you if you want to keep your gdm.conf file
[03:23] <Parisi> sun_ I'll tell you what is a good start: Go to System -> Help.
[03:24] <apokryphos> vbgunz: it takes root etc. into account
[03:24] <Parisi> sun_ http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/faqguide-all.html
[03:24] <pablo928> Hi I have a problem with gamin_server, when I first boot breezy sometimes my cpu usage goes and stays at 100%. When i stop gamin_server it drops back to normal. Anyone have a fix?
[03:24] <nekostar> hehe bingo! worked like a charm! :)
[03:24] <vbgunz> apokryphos: oh ok!
[03:24] <sun_> Parisi:hah
[03:24] <hit3k> Amaranth, Do I just put the CD in and go 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'?
[03:24] <Amaranth> hit3k: no
[03:24] <bimberi> evil_: did you get that (ubotu's "chroot" post above)
[03:24] <sn0n> hey guys.. where would i ask about ibook compatibility ?
[03:24] <notsteve> whats w a good ft server?
[03:24] <notsteve> ftp*
[03:25] <notsteve> program
[03:25] <Amaranth> hit3k: you put in the CD and it'll probably pop something up asking if you want to use it to upgrade
[03:25] <hit3k> notsteve, the ftp command is a good one :)
[03:25] <hit3k> Amaranth, Ok thanks
[03:25] <jighead> notsteve: proftp is a good server
[03:25] <bimberi> notsteve: vsftpd seems to get recommended a lot
[03:26] <durt> jighead: is there a way to get gkrellm out of the taskbar and into the systray or something?
[03:26] <notsteve> thx
[03:26] <robotgeek> sn0n: how old/new is it?
[03:26] <jighead> durt: no, if you right click on your panel, you can add the system monitor, then click on it to configure it for what you want to track
[03:27] <bur[n] er> durt: try gkrellm -w?
[03:27] <bur[n] er> gkrellm -w worked back when I used fluxbox... not sure about gnome
[03:27] <pablo928> No one else is having problems with gamin_server?
[03:27] <_TomB> is their a way to see who's logged in via ssh?
[03:27] <glh> ftp
[03:27] <jighead> bur[n] er: right, there is a gkrellm option to keep it out of pagers, right click, then preferences
[03:27] <icewt> _TomB: w
[03:27] <steve> hey, is there any way to copy one folder over top of another and only replace older files?  using nautilus, preferably
[03:27] <bimberi> _TomB: w
[03:27] <_TomB> ty
[03:28] <durt> let me see then
[03:28] <vbgunz> apokryphos: should I be sudo to run superkaramba? I ran it as a regular user but nothing is really happening when I click on the links... I don't find any menu items either so I run it from terminal under "superkaramba"...
[03:28] <bimberi> icewt: one of the shortest answers :P
[03:28] <_TomB> is it possible to kill a user who timed out, but is still listed as logged in?
[03:28] <icewt> bimberi: :)
[03:28] <apokryphos> vbgunz: nope, no root privs needed (it's just a theme program, think about it :P). It should just bring up a tray icon
[03:29] <vbgunz> oh, its launching fiorefox browsers on another desktop... sorry :9
[03:29] <robertbb> Does the NAT table exist by default in iptables in Breezy?
[03:29] <steve> notsteve,  you might also want to try Places -> Connect to Server (use nautilus)
[03:29] <apokryphos> vbgunz: download a theme from kdelook.org, and then open it up with SK
[03:29] <vbgunz> apokryphos: yeah it did... *but* if I close the welcome window the tray disappears too :P
[03:29] <steve> haha
[03:30] <Bikuri> Hi... please, someone knows what codec I have to get to watcha movies (avi) ?
[03:30] <apokryphos> vbgunz: can't check exactly now as I don't have that version, but there's a way to close the welcome window properly
[03:30] <_TomB> anyone?
[03:30] <Amaranth> !+restricted
[03:30] <ubotu> well, restricted is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats ; also see !javadebs (for sun-java debs) and !w32codecs
[03:30] <Bikuri> or what player its better to watch?
[03:31] <vbgunz> apokryphos: ok cool, I'll work with it more in a bit
[03:31] <vbgunz> gotta go, thank you!
[03:31] <bur[n] er> msg ubotu javadebs
[03:31] <steve> Bikuri, avi is a "container format"... it doesn't define the codec.
[03:31] <bur[n] er> doh ;)
[03:31] <steve> Bikuri, but yes, it's restricted.
[03:31] <Cooner750> anyone know why XMMS will 'play' but you hear no sound? But yet Totem works fine...
[03:31] <Bikuri> How can I watch my movies then???
[03:31] <steve> Bikuri, Totem is a good player
[03:31] <Bikuri> can you tell me?
[03:32] <thechitowncubs> how can I change the resolution of my GDM?
[03:32] <Bikuri> but totem play the avi files?
[03:32] <thechitowncubs> it doesn't use the resolution i set with gnome
[03:32] <jighead> Cooner750: xmms isn't setup to use esd
[03:32] <WebLOCH> hey guys
[03:32] <iiiears> Bikuri - check around for "libdvdcss2"
[03:32] <bur[n] er> Bikuri: it does if you have proper gstreamer plugins... or totem-xine and w32codecs
[03:32] <steve> Bikuri, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[03:32] <bur[n] er> libdvdcss2 is for dvds... not .avi's
[03:32] <Bikuri> ok thanx...
[03:32] <Bikuri> just one more...
[03:32] <bur[n] er> !ubotu tell Bikuri about w32codecs
[03:32] <WebLOCH> If I installed windows 2000 AFTER installing ubuntu, it will overwrite the boot menu, is it possible to restore the boot menu afterwards, if so what are my options?
[03:32] <bur[n] er> !ubotu tell Bikuri about restricted
[03:32] <Bikuri> how I use dual layer?
[03:33] <steve> Bikuri, ?
[03:33] <alastair> Hello all, i've just run an install of Ubuntu 5.10 on my Athlon 64 machine. It installed fine, however when it boots up, i enter my username and password, which it accepts.. about 10 seconds later, it's locking up and i'm having to reset the machine. Not been able to get to a desktop yet
[03:34] <alastair> locks up every time
[03:34] <bur[n] er> WebLOCH: boot an ubuntu livecd, chroot to your install, and run the grub install
[03:34] <lamb> i've got the same question as thechitowncubs, how do I change my GDM resolution?
[03:34] <iiiears> yes. - ubuntu tries to use open source free (as in speech) software whenever p0ossible.
[03:34] <Bikuri> hi
[03:34] <Bikuri> Im here
[03:34] <Amaranth> alastair: Sounds like a problem with inotify.
[03:34] <WebLOCH> bur[n] er... i dont have a live cd, or enough cds to make one now haha
[03:34] <alastair> Amaranth, doesn't mean anything to me :) any suggestions? i'll do a search for it though
[03:34] <steve> Bikuri, what problem are you having with dual layer?
[03:34] <Bikuri> I dont know how to use dual layer...
[03:34] <Cooner750> what can I do to get XMMS to play?
[03:34] <Amaranth> alastair: Try adding noinotify to the grub boot line.
[03:34] <Bikuri> I have two monitors, but I'm using only ine...
[03:34] <alastair> ok
[03:34] <Bikuri> I don't know how to proceed
[03:34] <bur[n] er> WebLOCH: u have no linux boot cd?
[03:34] <steve> Bikuri, dual layer is... a dvd technology.
[03:34] <steve> Bikuri,  i think you mean dual head
[03:35] <jighead> bur[n] er: yes
[03:35] <Bikuri> yes...ha h aha... sorry
[03:35] <gusto5> lol
[03:35] <gusto5> no sweat Bikuri, lots of ppl mix'em up
[03:35] <Hobbsee> !tell bur[n] er about reinstallgrub
[03:35] <bur[n] er> jighead: know how?  wonder if it's a wiki page :)  brb
[03:35] <steve> Bikuri, it requires you config your xorg.conf file.
[03:35] <Bikuri> do you know how to use dual head???
[03:35] <WebLOCH> bur[n] er, you said live cd... I do have a regular ubuntu install cd tho
[03:35] <Hobbsee> bur[n] er: check your PM
[03:35] <Bikuri> its too dificult? or complicated?
[03:36] <foampeace> where might i find c64 roms for vice
[03:36] <jighead> bur[n] er: you boot the disc, use ctl+alt+F2 to get a console, then mount /dev/hda1, then chroot to where you mounted it and run grub
[03:36] <steve> Bikuri, look in the wiki.  it's probably a little complicated for you.
[03:36] <Mabus06> how come I can't seem to get downloads to work with bittorrent?
[03:36] <steve> Bikuri, I'd work on getting avis to play first. ;)
[03:36] <bur[n] er> !tell WebLOCH about reinstallgrub
[03:36] <icewt> Cooner750: configure it to use esd as output plugin, or kill esd
[03:36] <WebLOCH> hahaha
[03:36] <pl3c3b0> does anyone have a good repostitories list?
[03:36] <Bikuri> right...
[03:36] <WebLOCH> ty bur[n] er
[03:36] <Amaranth> !repos
[03:37] <Hobbsee> !tell pl3c3b0 about repositories
[03:37] <Amaranth> damn bot
[03:37] <bur[n] er> WebLOCH: np... thank Hobbsee
[03:37] <thechitowncubs> lamb, what kind of graphics card do you have
[03:37] <phinnaeus> i have a potentially embarrasing question to ask
[03:37] <pl3c3b0> !repos
[03:37] <Hobbsee> bur[n] er: np
[03:37] <Hobbsee> phinnaeus: shoot
[03:37] <phinnaeus> ok
[03:37] <pl3c3b0> they are annoying
[03:37] <Bikuri> I'll try to get what you said...
[03:37] <bur[n] er> jighead: oh... no livecd needed... i see :)
[03:37] <alastair> Amaranth, not sure where to put that. i pressed Esc when the grub loader came up, i've got to a command line but noinotify doesn't seem to work
[03:37] <pl3c3b0> i get so much errors
[03:37] <steve> Bikuri, good luck
[03:37] <Mabus06> and is a good torrent search program I can use to search for torrents, and then sort based on how many seeders are available for the file?
[03:37] <phinnaeus> i was messing around with my panel things, and i accidently made my tray go away
[03:37] <pl3c3b0> and yes i did RTFM
[03:38] <Cooner750> i just went to System > Prefrences > Multimedia Syetems Selector and selected "ALSA" and then went to Prefrences in XMMS and selected "ALSA" works fine now
[03:38] <phinnaeus> and i want it back
[03:38] <steve> Bikuri, and when you want to try setting up dual head, you should search the wiki and the forum first.
[03:38] <oasiao> thought id share this i cant find kdiary to download but I found open journal 2.07  so ill try it out
[03:38] <Amaranth> alastair: open the menu, highlight the thing you want to boot, then push e, iirc
[03:38] <pl3c3b0> o
[03:38] <pl3c3b0> nvm
[03:38] <dducko> phinnaeus, both or just one?
[03:38] <robotgeek> phinnaeus: right click -> add to panel -.notification area
[03:38] <Amaranth> alastair: a line of text you can edit will come up, add noinotify to the end of it
[03:38] <alastair> ok thanks! i'll have a look
[03:38] <icewt> Cooner750: yes. that way you can't play sound from different sources at the same time though
[03:38] <Bikuri> ok...
[03:38] <pl3c3b0> thanx amaranth!
[03:38] <Bikuri> I'll try.,...
[03:38] <phinnaeus> thank you robotgeek
[03:39] <lamb> anyone can help me to change my GDM resolution?
[03:39] <Bikuri> thanx a lot steve
[03:39] <steve> Bikuri, no problem!  :)
[03:39] <Suicide|Freestyl> How do you log in as root in Ubunut?
[03:39] <Suicide|Freestyl> Ubuntu**
[03:39] <Hobbsee> !tell Suicide|Freestyl about root
[03:39] <TiMiDo> Suicide|Freestyl su
[03:39] <Amaranth> lamb: gdm uses the max resolution X thinks it can use
[03:39] <dducko> !tell Suicide|Freestyl about root
[03:39] <greg> fukin noobs
[03:39] <dducko> lol oops too slow
[03:39] <Amaranth> lamb: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and set what resolutions you want to be able to use
[03:39] <GTroy> I added repos from synaptic, now I can't use add/remove programs.  any help would be cool
[03:39] <Bikuri> have a nice day (night)
[03:39] <Suicide|Freestyl> Thank you Hobbsee, TiMiDo, & dducko.
[03:39] <Bikuri> bye
[03:40] <Amaranth> lamb: the highest one you set will be the one that gdm uses
[03:40] <steve> just curious, why not tell noobs about root?  :|
[03:40] <lamb> amaranth: ok, thanks I'll give it a try
[03:40] <dducko> Whats the problem greg ?
[03:40] <Cooner750> Ok set both to ESD and still works fine
[03:40] <phinnaeus> oh ok another questino
[03:40] <jighead> greg was a troll, he left - thankfully
[03:40] <Hobbsee> steve: wiki's got plenty of information on it, why should we type it all out here lol?  And not telling new users about root might help save their systems
[03:41] <steve> Hobbsee, why not just point them to the wiki?
[03:41] <Mabus06> what is a good linux torrent search program?
[03:41] <phinnaeus> i just got breezy badger and its lising my hds on my desktop, along with my flash drive, can i get those to go away?
[03:41] <iiiears> !repos
[03:41] <Hobbsee> steve: i did - !tell name about root
[03:41] <phinnaeus> without
[03:41] <Amaranth> Mabus06: torrent search? google
[03:41] <iiiears> tell steve repos
[03:41] <phinnaeus> without unmouting them
[03:42] <Amaranth> Mabus06: Not trying to be mean, google is actually best as a search tool itself or for finding search sites.
[03:42] <steve> Hobbsee, so... that displays for them, I guess?  eheh
[03:42] <Hobbsee> yeah
[03:42] <Hobbsee> !tell steve about root
[03:42] <Hobbsee> steve: see the PM you were just sent
[03:42] <iiiears> anyone have the link fofor "repo-magic' page?
[03:42] <steve> aha!
[03:42] <Hobbsee> works beautifully
[03:42] <steve> :D
[03:42] <Hobbsee> :)
[03:42] <dducko> And less spam here
[03:42] <Inchabod> Works nice.
[03:42] <Inchabod> :)
[03:42] <Cooner750> why does adjusting the volume with the icon by the clock do nothing when playing music?
[03:42] <steve> thought it was a message telling others "NOT" (!) to tell them about it...  was confused.  ^^
[03:42] <dducko> also doesnt get loss in the rest of the typing
[03:43] <Hobbsee> nope
[03:43] <mustard5> iiiears, you mean this http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[03:43] <phinnaeus> how do i make my hdds and my flash drive not display on my desktop
[03:43] <mustard5> ?
[03:43] <alastair> hmm.. no luck with that, Amaranth
[03:43] <robotgeek> phinnaeus: system tools -> configuration editor
[03:43] <iiiears> Ah! - yes :)
[03:43] <bmk789> delete the shortcut?
[03:43] <phinnaeus> gotcha
[03:43] <iiiears> good link
[03:43] <Amaranth> alastair: I'm stumped then, sorry.
[03:43] <Cooner750> nevermind. Had it set to wrong audio card
[03:43] <thechitowncubs> Does ANYONE know how to change GDM resolution???

[03:45] <wickedpuppy> hmms .. anyone here wondering when is ubuntu be updating to 2.6.12.4 ?
[03:45] <Cooner750> Now that I set the right audio card for the volume control to adjust; using the volume up/down keys on my keyboard only shows the indicator on the screen but dosent adjust the volume. Any ideas?
[03:45] <wickedpuppy> hmms .. anyone here wondering when is ubuntu be updating to 2.6.14 ?
[03:45] <agt> !mp3
[03:45] <ubotu> [mp3]  a non-free format. Restricted formats' installation instructions can be found on the RestrictedFormats page of the wiki - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats - click away:)
[03:45] <wickedpuppy> sorry
[03:45] <Cooner750> it works when adjusting with the slider by the clock
[03:45] <Amaranth> wickedpuppy: dapper
[03:45] <kevogod> Does Evolution's Junk filter work without Spamassassin?
[03:46] <Suicide|Freestyl> All the wiki said was how to set the root password and etc, it doesn't give detailed instructs as how to actually log in as root. You can't do it by the default log in, because I've already tried. The only reason I want to log in as root is so I can copy my files from my Quake 4 CDs, because for some uknown reason, it states I don't have the proper permissions to access the files off of CDs 2 - 4.
[03:46] <Amaranth> wickedpuppy: breezy won't get a new kernel
[03:46] <wickedpuppy> Amaranth, no kid .. it has centrino drivers ... oh well :P
[03:46] <Amaranth> Suicide|Freestyl: gdm doesn't allow you to login as root, no
[03:46] <iiiears> ubotu you and cafuego are geniuses.
[03:46] <ubotu> iiiears: what are you talking about?
[03:46] <bmk789> who uses skype?  my fonts are big
[03:46] <robotgeek> Suicide|Freestyl: try sudo cp
[03:46] <Amaranth> wickedpuppy: those have existed for ages and i think are in the breezy kernel, 2.6.14 is just the first upstream kernel to include them

[03:47] <ubotu> :)
[03:47] <wickedpuppy> Amaranth, ah i see... thanks for the info dude ... :P
[03:47] <Suicide|Freestyl> robotgeek, I don't know what pak files are on each cd. :P I know there must be a way I can access the files other than through the terminal.
[03:48] <robotgeek> Suicide|Freestyl: try 'gksudo nautilus' in a terminal. this will open up a root nautilus. BEWARE!
[03:48] <newbie_at_linux> How can I turn X off in tty7?

[03:48] <phinnaeus> whoa!
[03:49] <mustard5> iiiears, you changed the repos information :)
[03:49] <Cooner750> how would I go about doing that (havent used Ubuntu in a while; little confused)
[03:49] <Amaranth> newbie_at_linux: you get 6 ttys without X, the other 6 are either empty or have an X session in them
[03:49] <Welly> Amaranth, sorry, not having any luck here at all. i did a quick search which suggested i add the noinotify to the end of the kernel line in grub but it' still doing the same thing
[03:49] <iiiears> changed? - added no?
[03:50] <Amaranth> Welly: As I said, if that doesn't work I have no idea.

[03:51] <maikeru> sorry Am
[03:51] <Hobbsee> sorry maikeru - just fixed that when i saw the repos one
[03:51] <robotgeek> phinnaeus: apt-get install nautilus-terminal
[03:51] <maikeru> was trying to add that bit in
[03:51] <phinnaeus> okey

[03:51] <mustard5> PresuntoRJ, no...it has a bug...check bugzilla
[03:51] <Falcon> I don't understand why I can't use one of my pcf.gz fonts. I reconfigured fontconfig to use bitmap fonts, i can start xterm with this font with xterm -fn fontname but I can't see this specific font in kde programs. Any ideas?
[03:52] <maikeru> hmm, what's the command to have ubotu tell you something?
[03:52] <maikeru> is it ubotu tell me about <whatever>?

[03:53] <ubotu> thanks iiiears :)
[03:53] <robotgeek> !botabuse
[03:53] <ubotu> You can play with me on #debian-bots without being banned.
[03:53] <maikeru> lol, I couldn't activate windows
[03:53] <lamb> help please.. I ran  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. the question is what keys do i use to change the settings?
[03:53] <maikeru> and wanted to so I could install SP2 so I could install a C# IDE
[03:53] <farruinn> yay! if the bot is good it gets a cookie!
[03:53] <maikeru> but they complained so I said screw your automatic updates and grabbed my CD with SP2 on it
[03:54] <Amaranth> ubotu: bot abuse
[03:54] <ubotu> it has been said that bot abuse is a bannable offense
[03:54] <maikeru> Amaranth, who's abusing the bot?
[03:54] <Amaranth> maikeru: no one anymore, robotgeek tried to pull up that factoid so i did for him
[03:54] <maikeru> oh
[03:54] <Hobbsee> maikeru: well, editing the bot in the middle of a busy channel probably wasnt your smartest idea for the day....lol
[03:54] <rukuartic> Who likes windows? (Thought you all'd appreciate this.) http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/24643423/
[03:55] <maikeru> Hobbsee, other people were but couldn't get him to change the info
[03:55] <maikeru> so I did it instead
[03:55] <iiiears> Actually - mistakes are seen and caught.
[03:55] <DamienK-Work> ladies and gents, I am trying to find qtpcr for Ubuntu
[03:55] <jumping_cows> hi all, i was using both gedit and openoffice for amd64.  turns out that i can copy and paste from OO to gedit but not the other way around.
[03:55] <jumping_cows> is around else aware of this?
[03:55] <Hobbsee> maikeru: do it either in a quieter channel, or via a PM
[03:55] <maikeru> mmk
[03:55] <maikeru> anyway, gotta write out two more note cards
[03:55] <maikeru> shower
[03:55] <GURT> lamb: the aarow keys?
[03:55] <maikeru> player counter-strike
[03:55] <maikeru> sleep
[03:56] <maikeru> (sadly, cedega can't properly run Steam/CS so I have to use windows... ;<)
[03:56] <icewt> rukuartic: luckily mplayer works on windows too
[03:56] <farruinn> DamienK-Work: I can't find it on main, restricted, universe, or multiverse (for ppc anyway)
[03:56] <lamb> GURT: thanks but, the arrow keys move (what do I use to select or deselect) cause if I hit enter it gets me to the next window
[03:57] <iiiears> maikeru - no Steam updates?    really? - was just about to try it. - (disappointed)
[03:57] <GURT> hmm i dunno.. sorry
[03:57] <GURT> seems like a simple enough question though
[03:57] <lamb> GURT: ok, thanks anyways
[03:57] <GURT> try space
[03:57] <sn0n> space
[03:57] <sn0n> ;-)
[03:58] <maikeru> iiiears, last I tried was prolly 2 weeks ago
[03:58] <maikeru> so go ahead
[03:58] <DamienK-Work> farruinn I had it on the last install, dont know where it has gone :(
[03:58] <maikeru> if it works you better tell me!
[03:58] <lamb> snon: thanks, space did the trick
[03:58] <DamienK-Work> is there a way to install rpms? I can find it in that format (for Suse)
[03:58] <sn0n> anyone know how well ubuntu works on the 800mhz ibooks ?
[03:58] <maikeru> sudo alien -di filename.rpm
[03:59] <sn0n> im buying a used one tmr.. thinkin bout ubuntuing it
[03:59] <Cooner750> how to install XMMS themes?
[03:59] <DamienK-Work> might give that a go
[03:59] <Cooner750> nevermind
[03:59] <iiiears> maikeru - transgaming spends so much time on Steam there isn't time for other games it seems.
[03:59] <Cooner750> found it
[03:59] <misfit_toy> sn0n, I'm running on a 750mhz here, not an ibook, but still
[03:59] <maikeru> what it should do is find one version of steam
[03:59] <maikeru> that works
[03:59] <robotgeek> sn0n: even the airport might work, if it's not an extreme
[03:59] <sn0n> as long as sound, video and eth work
[03:59] <maikeru> and let people donwload that from their site
[03:59] <sn0n> i dont care about the wireless really
[03:59] <PresuntoRJ> sn0n: I have a friend with such hardware and he had only a little glitch with audio and Ilink ports
[04:00] <sn0n> hmmm
[04:00] <sn0n> ok
[04:00] <maikeru> if I could play CS under linux
[04:00] <maikeru> omg
[04:00] <sn0n> kewl thnx. :-D
[04:00] <maikeru> I've even tried it under VMWare
[04:00] <maikeru> but it bluescreened ;)
[04:00] <budluva> maikeru, counter strike?
[04:00] <PresuntoRJ> sn0n: I am using right now from a CompaqArmada 850MHz and it`s fantastic
[04:00] <maikeru> budluva, yes
[04:00] <farruinn> nalioth: were you able to figure out the java problem last night?
[04:00] <budluva> since when did cs not work under linux?
[04:00] <misfit_toy> maikeru, people do that every day, not me, but it's supposedly easy
[04:00] <sizzam> maikeru:  have you tried cedega
[04:00] <maikeru> Yes
[04:00] <phinnaeus> bf2 on linux would be a dream come true
[04:00] <sn0n> thnx PresuntoRJ
[04:00] <sizzam> darn
[04:00] <maikeru> and it refuses to work with Steam
[04:00] <sn0n> :-D
[04:00] <maikeru> it installs and runs CS itself
[04:00] <pl3c3b0> !apt
[04:00] <ubotu> I heard apt is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AptGetHowTo/ or http://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#apt-howto
[04:00] <rukuartic> maikeru: Whats your Comp's stas?
[04:00] <maikeru> uhm
[04:00] <farruinn> nalioth: (installing IMB java on ppc)
[04:00] <sn0n> this is my first ppc / osx box..
[04:00] <nalioth> farruinn: yes, an older ibm build was used. 1.4.2
[04:00] <sn0n> so im pretty excited..
[04:00] <sn0n> :-D
[04:01] <maikeru> 2.2 Ghz, 1 GB Ram, etc.
[04:01] <maikeru> why?
[04:01] <farruinn> nalioth: ah, so 1.5 is no good, ok
[04:01] <nalioth> farruinn: give me time to sit down, please, :)
[04:01] <rukuartic> maikeru: Graphics card?
[04:01] <maikeru> hell if I know
[04:01] <farruinn> nalioth: sorry - I've been itching to know though :P
[04:01] <maikeru> ;)
[04:01] <rukuartic> maikeru: That might be your problem...
[04:01] <maikeru> I'm booted into windows right now anyway
[04:01] <ETSME> hi
[04:01] <maikeru> well I don't see why Steam won't run
[04:01] <maikeru> it shouldn't be a graphics problem
[04:01] <maikeru> steam isn't anymore graphical than mIRC
[04:02] <maikeru> well, maybe a little
[04:02] <maikeru> but you get the idea
[04:02] <maikeru> if I was booted into linux right now I'd show ya the error
[04:03] <maikeru> bbiam
[04:03] <durt> are there any alternatives to gkrellm?
[04:03] <nalioth> durt: conky
[04:03] <bur[n] er> durt: depends on the features you need
[04:03] <phinnaeus> three things that need to run on linux
[04:03] <phinnaeus> battlefield 2, photoshop, and itunes
[04:03] <GURT> itunes?
[04:04] <bur[n] er> gimp > photoshop
[04:04] <durt> thanks nalioth
[04:04] <kevogod> bur[n] er, In your dreams
[04:04] <bur[n] er> amarok > itunes
[04:04] <bur[n] er> :)
[04:04] <kevogod> bur[n] er, I'll give you that. :P
[04:04] <Welly> gimp > photoshop? lol
[04:04] <CurtisB> :( I'm hozed.. new to Ubuntu... had used the "switch user" a few times without trouble, but this last time I switched from my wifes account the system got hozed... after a lot of trouble I'm finally back in, but it's stuck at 640x480 resolution and the resolution control doesn't show any other settings!
[04:04] <GURT> anything is better than itunes
[04:04] <phinnaeus> yeah yeah whatever bur[n] er
[04:04] <durt> bur[n] er: i want something that will use up all that background space
[04:04] <phinnaeus> not when you have everything converted!
[04:04] <phinnaeus> gah!
[04:04] <nalioth> ubotu: tell CurtisB about fixres
[04:04] <kevogod> He needs iTunes to purchase songs from the iTunes Music Store.
[04:04] <bur[n] er> phinnaeus: drop a line to adobe and apple asking for a linux port ;)
[04:05] <phinnaeus> ive tried
[04:05] <DamienK-Work> maikeru - sudo alien -di filename.rpm method fails
[04:05] <nalioth> phinnaeus: linux plays mp4/m4a/aac files
[04:05] <robotgeek> amarok >>>> itunes (sucks)
[04:05] <iiiears> Curtis - NP - ubotu has the link. - hang in there it gets easier.
[04:05] <phinnaeus> whoa since when
[04:05] <kevogod> phinnaeus, Do you need iTunes to purchase music?
[04:05] <GURT> why not buy music in the store?
[04:05] <nalioth> DamienK-Work: rpms are bad news
[04:05] <iiiears> !display
[04:05] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, display is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/FixVideoResolutionHowto or ask !Resolution
[04:05] <CurtisB> nalioth - what's that? I dont seem to have it
[04:05] <Amaranth> nalioth: hey, you are awake :)
[04:05] <nalioth> CurtisB: read the URL from the bot
[04:05] <kevogod> GURT, Who knows. I certainly want DRMed overpriced music.
[04:05] <nalioth> Amaranth: howdy
[04:05] <phinnaeus> nalioth: how how how
[04:05] <CurtisB> rgr thanks!
[04:05] <GURT> well you can buy that in stores now too :P
[04:05] <icewt> what about http://nanocrew.net/software/sharpmusique/ ?
[04:06] <robotgeek> bur[n] er: that plays in vlc
[04:06] <kevogod> I do not think you can play the encrypted versions.
[04:06] <bur[n] er> oh yeah... i lied, i meant i hvaen't been able to .mp4 to play with totem ;0
[04:06] <phinnaeus> dang
[04:06] <kevogod> Although, PyMusique, I think would be a solution
[04:06] <CurtisB> <- afk
[04:06] <nalioth> phinnaeus: gstreamer0.8-faac and -faad for starters
[04:06] <nalioth> kevogod: not in here, please
[04:07] <durt> i like conky already
[04:07] <nalioth> icewt: not in here please
[04:07] <Amaranth> kevogod: PyMusique is legal ;)
[04:07] <robotgeek> durt: yup, it's great!
[04:07] <kevogod> nalioth, It is no different than telling someone to about how to get DVD support.
[04:07] <Amaranth> nalioth: err, PyMusique is legal ;)
[04:07] <nalioth> Amaranth: a legal drm cracker?
[04:07] <maikeru> yeah
[04:07] <maikeru> isn't it just like JHymn for Windows
[04:07] <Amaranth> nalioth: It doesn't have anything to do with DRM.
[04:07] <maikeru> cause all it does is remove the retardedness so you can actually (SHOCK) listen to the music you paid for
[04:08] <Amaranth> maikeru: No, it is a direct interface to the store. The iTunes client adds the DRM so songs from PyMusique don't have DRM.
[04:08] <maikeru> oh really?
[04:08] <maikeru> I did not know this
[04:08] <kevogod> maikeru, Not in here
[04:08] <CurtisB> nalioth - thanks again, gotta restart X so I'm saying bye -- with luck I won't be back too soon! "P:)
[04:08] <Amaranth> maikeru: SharpMusique is actively maintained, PyMusique is more or less a dead project.
[04:08] <nalioth> Amaranth: in a round-a-bout way, it's circumventing DRM
[04:08] <maikeru> what about all the m4ps I have bought from iTunes?
[04:09] <maikeru> is there a way to convert them under linux
[04:09] <kevogod> Oooh, snap!
[04:09] <nalioth> phinnaeus: join #kubuntu-offtopic please. (dont msg me, thank you)
[04:09] <Amaranth> nalioth: The only thing you're breaking is your EULA.
[04:09] <phinnaeus> sorry
[04:09] <Kyral> which means nothing ;P
[04:09] <maikeru> so I can listen to them
[04:09] <nalioth> maikeru: that subject is not for #ubuntu
[04:09] <Amaranth> The worst Apple can do is cancel your iTMS account.
[04:09] <maikeru> nalioth, iTunes encoded all my music
[04:09] <maikeru> -all of it-
[04:09] <maikeru> even the stuff I didn't get from them
[04:10] <maikeru> so now at least 1G of music is lost cause I can't play it under Linux
[04:10] <maikeru> so no, it is my right to get the music I bought back
[04:10] <nalioth> phinnaeus: explanations of -faac and -faad can be had in #kubuntu-offtopic
[04:10] <maikeru> and I don't see how it isn't allowed in here
[04:10] <phinnaeus> sorry about msging you
[04:10] <Amaranth> maikeru: It converted it to AAC, it didn't put FairPlay DRM on it.
[04:10] <maikeru> I'm just requesting a program, like many others do
[04:10] <kevogod> maikeru, Only the files you downloaded from the iTunes Music Store should have FairPlay DRM on them.
[04:11] <kevogod> maikeru, The rest should be playable on Linux.
[04:11] <maikeru> mmk, I'll try...
[04:12] <ilba7r> any one know of an application similar to adobe professional. I have a pdf file that i want to reduce it size but do not know how to do it under ubuntu
[04:12] <kevogod> maikeru, You will need w32codecs I believe.
[04:12] <Amaranth> kevogod: Nope, just gstreamer-faad
[04:12] <kevogod> Meh, shows what I know
[04:12] <kevogod> heh
[04:12] <pl3c3b0> err... the apt repositories are still acting up!
[04:12] <robotgeek> ilba7r: unlikely, but try googling for 'flpsed pdf' in google
[04:12] <iiiears> Woot! can't wait until the broadcast flag and bluray makes watching tv and movies a thrill.
[04:12] <kevogod> I have never opened an AAC file in my life.
[04:12] <Hobbsee> pl3c3b0: in what way?  paste the errors to the pastebin
[04:12] <Amaranth> pl3c3b0: Not that I know of but breezy-backports doesn't exist yet.
[04:12] <ilba7r> thanx robotgeek
[04:13] <pl3c3b0> ok.
 grin </sarcasm>
[04:13] <Shadowline> maikeru: I believe this forum link might help you, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/170553
[04:13] <Cooner750> is there a way to get around the "The password is too simple" message when changing your password?
[04:13] <Cooner750> this gets on my nerves
[04:14] <nekostar> um
[04:14] <kevogod> How come Totem plays my DVDs so sluggishly, but Xine plays them smooth as me?
[04:14] <pl3c3b0> Amaranth: here is the first set of errors, W: Couldn't stat source package list http://us.archive.ubuntu.com breezy/multiverse Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)

[04:14] <Amaranth> kevogod: gstreamer 0.8 kind of sucks
[04:14] <nekostar> what was that command to see if you have everything needed to build a package? apt-build <packagename> or something?
[04:14] <bur[n] er> kevogod: cause gstreamer isnt' as good as xine for dvd stuff yet?
[04:14] <nalioth> nekostar: sudo apt-get build-dep pkgname
[04:14] <kevogod> Well, I am using Totem-xine....
[04:14] <nalioth> nekostar: apt-build is a whole other program
[04:14] <Hobbsee> nalioth: hehe
[04:15] <Shadowline> maikeru: this might work even better for you ----> http://linux.seindal.dk/item75.html
[04:15] <bur[n] er> nekostar: apt-get build-dep package
[04:15] <doojin> hi
[04:15] <maikeru> thanks Shadow
[04:15] <pl3c3b0> oops
[04:15] <doojin> what the hell is universe and multiverse?
[04:15] <Shadowline> maikeru: np
[04:15] <pl3c3b0> sorry...
[04:15] <Hobbsee> !tell doojin about universe
[04:15] <nalioth> ubotu: tell pl3c3b0 about paste
[04:15] <Amaranth> pl3c3b0: us might be having issues
[04:16] <kevogod> So what about if Totem is using totem-xine, should Totem still be sluggish?
[04:16] <pl3c3b0> huh?
[04:16] <Amaranth> pl3c3b0: edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and change us.archive.ubuntu.com to archive.ubuntu.com
[04:16] <doojin> !repositories
[04:16] <Amaranth> kevogod: In that case I have no idea.
[04:17] <pl3c3b0> *Amaranth* ok
[04:17] <maikeru> Amaranth, may I PM you?
[04:17] <doojin> The sound system in ubuntu doesn't work properly
[04:17] <doojin> With gnome sound server turned on, I can't hear music from xmms
[04:17] <Amaranth> maikeru: join #kubuntu-offtopic
[04:17] <doojin> damn it
[04:17] <icewt> doojin: select esd as output plugin in xmms
[04:17] <maikeru> Nevermind it, I wished to speak to you in private
[04:17] <maikeru> I see that won't happen.
[04:17] <Amaranth> maikeru: In that case, go ahead.
[04:18] <doojin> icewt : you make me reboot
[04:18] <sun_> what use of kernel-tree
[04:18] <icewt> doojin: ?
[04:19] <difeta> how can i stop OSS from being loaded? I just want to use alsa
[04:19] <Shadowline> what'd you tell him to do ?
[04:19] <stegel> where is the httpd.conf located for apache2? I am adding a DocumentRoot to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf but seeing no chagne
[04:19] <stegel> even after a restart
[04:20] <TiMiDo> stegel /etc/init.d/apache2 restart; everytime you changed a setting
[04:20] <icewt> difeta: are you sure it's loaded? alsa has oss-emulation or something
[04:20] <iiiears> Stegel - are you forcing to refresh on each page loading?
[04:20] <iiiears> your browser?
[04:20] <stegel> yep
[04:21] <stegel> shift-F5 correct
[04:21] <Ropechoborra> Hi :)
[04:21] <difeta> icewt, yes. lsmod shows many oss modules loaded
[04:21] <tescoil> I
[04:21] <Amaranth> difeta: That doesn't mean much.
[04:21] <Amaranth> difeta: There is no way you're using OSS.
[04:22] <Amaranth> difeta: ALSA is the only thing available in Ubuntu.
[04:22] <stegel> iiiears my /etc/apache2/httpd.conf has no config directives in it but the one i entered?
[04:22] <stegel> does that makes sense
[04:22] <difeta> Amaranth, then this is odd, cause my mixer shows two devices and alsa device and oss device
[04:22] <Amaranth> difeta: The OSS device is fake.
[04:22] <nekostar> nalioth, what im trying to do is get the packages i need to build enlighenment... [E17]  and sudo apt-get build-dep enlightenment returns "unable to find a source package for enlightenment" any clues for me? ~_^
[04:22] <PresuntoRJ> difeta: Ubuntu has the OSS mixer for a fake device
[04:22] <Amaranth> difeta: ALSA emulates an OSS device for backward compatibility.
[04:23] <bur[n] er> anyone know of a simple term-based text editor that does .php tag coloring and line numbering?
[04:23] <nalioth> nekostar: join #kubuntu-offtopic please
[04:23] <stegel> vi
[04:23] <nekostar> sure
[04:23] <stegel> bur[n] er vi with the right .vimrc file
[04:23] <iiiears> stegel - there might be more help in #apache - wish i had an answer for you. :/
[04:23] <bur[n] er> stegel: where would I find this... .vimrc file? ;)  you have one?
[04:23] <difeta> Amaranth, ahh ok. thanks
[04:23] <wickedpuppy> bur[n] er, syntax on .. and number on
[04:24] <tga> on some sites that use flash part of the page is gray and I can't access it
[04:24] <tga> does that ring a bell to anyone?
[04:24] <tga> http://www.dofus.com/en/ <-- example
[04:25] <tga> it's surprisingly quiet in here
[04:25] <Neurosis> may i ask for help then
[04:25] <Xenguy> yes, just ask
[04:25] <stegel> bur[n] er some suggestions at, http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/text_editing/vim.html
[04:25] <Neurosis> was wondering how i could brodcast a http server with xantv
[04:26] <iiiears> tga - there is an open source flash plug-in developed by the mozzilla folks. give me a sec i'll get the file name for you.
[04:26] <bur[n] er> very cool... i found one, thanks guys :)
[04:26] <PresuntoRJ> tga: I think that Firefox can detect the need for such plugins... and then download it for the site to work
[04:26] <iiiears> http://freshmeat.net/projects/flashplugin/  Flash plug-in
[04:27] <PresuntoRJ> tga: do you see a little green puzzle piece on the "blank" space?
[04:27] <shwag> trying to load this page which has an embedded quicktime video just crashed my firefox 1.07 on a brand new ubuntu install.  http://www.bravia-advert.com/commercial/braviacommhigh.html
[04:27] <tga> PresuntoRJ, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234328
[04:27] <shwag> not sure how to get videos playing properly
[04:27] <tga> it's a bug
[04:28] <iiiears> !restrictedformats
[04:28] <ubotu> hmm... restrictedformats is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats or 'codecs'
[04:28] <robotgeek> bur[n] er: also get the php syntax file
[04:28] <nalioth> shwag: that is the rule, not the exception. most folks d/l their media and play it on a media player locally
[04:28] <LeeColleton> My printer is printing black text with green ink.  I've replaced my black ink cartridge (in the right spot) with a new one.  It's a HP PSC 1210.  I've applied all updates, deleted and reinserted the printer and it still doesn't work.  Help?
[04:28] <Buddha|> Why is Pine not available?
[04:29] <PresuntoRJ> tga: that's odd..
[04:29] <iceman> I know of three desktops for Ubuntu "Kubuntu, Gnome, Xubuntu"  what others are there
[04:29] <wickedpuppy> iceman, fluxbox, blackbox , xfce
[04:29] <Neurosis> was wondering how i could brodcast a http server with xantv
[04:29] <wickedpuppy> and more
[04:29] <tga> iceman, the main desktop environments are Gnome, KDE and XFCE
[04:30] <Neurosis> xawtv i mean
[04:30] <iceman> wickedpuppy can you apt-get blackbox ?
[04:30] <jbrouhard> TTYL
[04:30] <nalioth> iceman: enlightenment, openbox, ratpoison
[04:30] <icewt> Buddha|: because of it's licence, i guess
[04:30] <tga> nalioth, those are window managers, not desktop environments
[04:30] <wickedpuppy> iceman, yup
[04:30] <robotgeek> bur[n] er: pine is not free as in freedom. modifications cannot be redistributed
[04:31] <robotgeek> bur[n] er: sorry, tab completiong error
[04:31] <nalioth> tga: enlightenment is a window mangler? i thought it was a desktop environment (i'm running it on my new x86 box)
[04:31] <robotgeek> Buddha|: pine is not free as in freedom. modifications cannot be redistributed
[04:31] <wickedpuppy> i think its both ?
[04:31] <tga> nalioth, ratpoison isn't a DE for sure
[04:31] <bur[n] er> robotgeek: does it do better coloring than the default php coloring?
[04:31] <nalioth> tga: ratpoison is nirvana for the gui oppressed, lol
[04:31] <newbie_at_linux> i want to install breezy. could i make a backup and move it to my second harddrive. then when i install breezy, mount my second harddrive and have all my backup
[04:31] <iceman> never herd of ratpoison ?
[04:32] <robotgeek> bur[n] er: oh, not really. try changing colorschemes
[04:32] <bur[n] er> how do I find a list of colorschemes?  i'm googline as we speak ;)
[04:32] <Stricklin> Somebody do me a favor and tell me if you see any content here: http://www.lafilm.org/
[04:33] <PresuntoRJ> tga: did u get my prv?
[04:33] <iiiears> newbie_at_linux, mondo backup utility  will make a DVD iso or  "tar will copy all files except those in use.'
[04:33] <tristanmike> Stricklin, yeah, fine here
[04:33] <Stricklin> Nevermind, it's a Flash-only site
[04:33] <Stricklin> (And I haven't managed to get gplflash working, apparently)
[04:33] <Nihil85> hallo
[04:33] <robotgeek> bur[n] er: colon command, :colorscheme tab
[04:33] <Nihil85> i have a big problem
[04:34] <PresuntoRJ> iiiears: I think there is a bug with mondo under ubuntu... It keep crashing with me...
[04:34] <ETSME> how can i enable java run time in UBUNUT
[04:34] <nxv_> is eboard broken. here it complains it can't load font
[04:34] <Nihil85> i tried to change de X kernel
[04:34] <Nihil85> for a nvidia graphic card
[04:34] <durt> is the equalizer supposed to not work in BMPx?
[04:34] <ETSME> which package should i download from SUN / JAVA site
[04:34] <wickedpuppy> !javadeb
[04:34] <ubotu> hmm... javadeb is for sun java debs packaged for ubuntu, Install from http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/bpxbf (Breezy)
[04:34] <|sam|> how do i seperate commands in bash? for example if i want to make a dir called test and make 2 text files in it called test1.txt and test2.txt how would i do this on one line?
[04:35] <ETSME> thanks
[04:35] <iiiears> PresuntoRJ, - that is good info. - back up utils should work flawlessly. eh?
[04:35] <nalioth> |sam|: put && between your commands
[04:35] <Nihil85> and now the nvidia kernel is older than the linux kernel
[04:35] <robertbb> I'm attempting to use iptables to perform NAT.  But I get a "iptables v1.3.1: can't initialize iptables table 'NAT": Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)". Does anyone else use NAT on a vanilla Breezy install?
[04:35] <nalioth> ubotu: tell |sam| about cli
[04:35] <|sam|> thankyou nalioth
[04:35] <jighead> |sam|: ; also works - mkdir test; touch test/file1; touch test/file2
[04:35] <Hito> red hat sucks
[04:36] <PresuntoRJ> iiears... mondo is fantastic, I use under FC3, Knopix e many other distros... But it still has several glitches for ubuntu
[04:36] <durt> sam: a semicolon is the same as a new line
[04:36] <wickedpuppy> Hito, it doesn't ... i used it for a few years :P
[04:36] <|sam|> ah cool, i will prolly use ; as im used to it
[04:36] <bur[n] er> very very cool robotgeek... thanks mucho
[04:36] <PresuntoRJ> iiiears: have in mind ubuntu is "based" on debian, but it's not really debian, and several .deb may not even install
[04:37] <nalioth> robertbb: have you seen firestarter?
[04:37] <robotgeek> bur[n] er: welcome to the vim family :)
[04:37] <|sam|> nalioth thanks
[04:37] <PresuntoRJ> iiiears: and some may install but not work at all
[04:37] <robertbb> nalioth, I have, but I want to do this manually..
[04:37] <nalioth> robertbb: http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/05/09/1846213&tid=78&tid=130
[04:37] <PresuntoRJ> iiiears: I think thats is still the case with mondo
[04:37] <nalioth> robertbb: carry on, then
[04:37] <wickedpuppy> bur[n] er, i love emacs :P ... there you go
[04:37] <Chizn> what is everybodys favourite p2p program here?
[04:37] <robertbb> nalioth, do you know if NAT is compiled in to Breezy by default?
[04:37] <PresuntoRJ> iiiears: and again, several standard .deb works just fine
[04:37] <j-linux> I have just installed Ubuntu 5.04 on someone's computer.  It is stuck in 640x480 resolution and I can't change it.  Any ideas?  Is there any way to find out what their graphics card is? They don't know.
[04:37] <|sam|> robertbb ipkungfu is an easy way to use iptables
[04:38] <nalioth> robertbb: ubuntu has standard linux networking
[04:38] <jighead> !fixres
[04:38] <ubotu> rumour has it, fixres is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[04:38] <robertbb> The problem isn't with ease of using iptables, the system is reporting that it cannot initialize the NAT table. But.. the modules are all there, and are running..
[04:38] <wickedpuppy> j-linux, did you try the live cd first ?
[04:38] <robertbb> My ruleset is tested previously..
[04:39] <Chizn> why does klogd run by default?
[04:39] <|sam|> robertbb on a debian based OS?
[04:39] <iiiears> PresuntoRJ, - A good back up util is vital. linux takes hours of tweaking to get working - a gui back up tool would be a god send.
[04:39] <robertbb> |sam|, yes, on Ubuntu..
[04:39] <wickedpuppy> robertbb, lsmod | grep nat
[04:39] <matw> Has anyone gotten FreeNX to work on an AMD64 kernel?
[04:40] <jighead> Chizn: it's the kernel log daemon
[04:40] <Chizn> oh i thought it was a key logger, lol
[04:40] <robertbb> wickedpuppy: Output is:   iptable_nat      21076    1
[04:40] <wickedpuppy> i got it as well
[04:40] <aurax> what's freenx?
[04:40] <wickedpuppy> lol
[04:40] <j-linux> wickedpuppy: yes, same problem but installed anyway
[04:40] <matw> aurax: kinda like vnc, but better
[04:40] <Nihil85> i cannot run X, anyone can help me? my nvidia kernel is older than the X kernel so i cannot run X. please hel me, i'm in a big trouble
[04:40] <aurax> really, sounds intresting
[04:40] <robertbb> ip_conntrack          39864      iptable_nat, etc.
[04:41] <wickedpuppy> j-linux, my advice ? install windows and get the system information
[04:41] <matw> aurax, it is
[04:41] <robertbb> ip_tables          18176      iptable_nat, etc.
[04:41] <shaun_> Does anyone know of a good iTunes equivalent for Linux that manages an iPod as well?
[04:41] <wickedpuppy> actually that should be done before install has even begun
[04:41] <jighead> j-linux: please don't install windows, use lspci -v to get the video card info
[04:41] <durt> has anyone tried geany and figured out how to change the font colors?
[04:42] <wickedpuppy> shaun_, there is no integrated app like itunes
[04:42] <jighead> tell j-linux about fixres
[04:42] <|sam|> shaun_ i use gtkpod, but itunes is also supported by crossover office if you prefer
[04:42] <Nihil85> i cannot run X, anyone can help me? my nvidia kernel is older than the X kernel so i cannot run X. please hel me, i'm in a big trouble
[04:42] <jighead> !tell j-linux about fixres
[04:42] <Chizn> does anybody here run a radeon x800?
[04:42] <Chizn> or ati radeon in general?
[04:43] <aurax> matw: like making thin clients?
[04:43] <nalioth> Nihil85: type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and choose the VESA driver. it'll give you X until you can figure your nvidia out
[04:43] <matw> aurax, don't know what you mean
[04:43] <mescaline> i think i screwd my box. i ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver xorg(trying to set my GDM resolution). i thought i did everything right but when i rebooted gnome won't start
[04:43] <matw> Chizen, I use radeon 7000
[04:43] <Nihil85> thanks nalioth... i also tried to reconfigure the x server, but i forget the vesa driver
[04:43] <bird> hey
[04:44] <Chizn> do you have any problem with 3d acceleration?
[04:44] <bird> i need help uploading files in the CLI
[04:44] <shaun_> |sam|: Am I correct in saying that you have to pay for Crossover Office?
[04:44] <matw> Cizn, no not that I know of
[04:44] <robertbb> wickedpuppy, So, it seems all the modules are actually there.
[04:44] <mescaline> could anyone help me please, oh and sorry bout my grammar
[04:44] <PresuntoRJ> bird: uploading what?
[04:44] <Chizn> what happens when you run "glxgears" does it run smooth?
[04:44] <PresuntoRJ> bird: using FTP?
[04:44] <bird> anything
[04:44] <nalioth> shaun_: yes it's payware
[04:44] <j-linux> jighead: thanks..
[04:44] <bird> i am using ssh
[04:44] <x999> x999: test anyone know what MOTB means?
[04:44] <|sam|> shaun_ yeah or use the 30 day trial, i personally prefer gtkpod
[04:44] <matw> Cizn, yes it runs smooth
[04:44] <PresuntoRJ> bird: where to?
[04:44] <Chizn> mine doesnt :o(
[04:45] <PresuntoRJ> bird: try sftp ?
[04:45] <bird> and i want to take somthing from my computer and upload it to the host with the command line
[04:45] <Chizn> ive never been able to get linux to run with decent 3d acceleration
[04:45] <Chizn> its sad
[04:45] <PresuntoRJ> bird: gftp also can connect to SSH2 servers
[04:45] <shaun_> |sam|: I'll have to try it
[04:45] <matw> Chizn, its complicated
[04:45] <bird> but i need to use the command line
[04:45] <bird> only
[04:45] <|sam|> shaun_ its easy enough to use, there is also a program to buy music from the itunes online store but i havnt tried it
[04:45] <nalioth> bird: ftp or rsync. ftp is easiest
[04:45] <Chizn> is there any tips you can give me?
[04:46] <PresuntoRJ> bird: do you need it to work via shell script?
[04:46] <matw> Chizn, Sorry, I just let the installer take care of everything
[04:46] <shaun_> |sam|: Thanks. I'm not worried about iTunes music store though. I'd rather buy cds from a store.
[04:46] <mescaline> xserver problem here. could someone please help?
[04:46] <matw> Too darned complicated for me
[04:46] <Chizn> hum, ok
[04:46] <PresuntoRJ> bird: hum... I think I`ve got a document on that... hang on
[04:46] <Chizn> yea
[04:46] <bird> how would i type it into the terminal if, lets say, i wanted to move index.htm to my [host] /public_html ???
[04:47] <Chizn> i ran the proprietary drivers from ati's website and it gave me a higher refresh and better res, but thats it
[04:47] <Chizn> no 3d acceleration still
[04:47] <joetheodd> I'm trying to play World of WarCraft in cedega but its horribly slow, totally unplayable. My machine ran it fine when I had windows. Does anyone know why?
[04:47] <jighead> mescaline: run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg again and try to fix it
[04:47] <kevogod> shaun_, gtkpod?
[04:47] <wickedpuppy> bird, man rsync or use ftp as others have suggested
[04:47] <|sam|> shaun_ , yeah same here, gtkpod is a good program, not managed to get it to sync but i think thats because my current ipod has never seen itunes so it dosnt have the itunes files on it
[04:47] <PresuntoRJ> bird: try man sftp and read the -b option...
[04:47] <matw> Chizn, I'm trying to learn about open gl, but it's been a struggle
[04:47] <nalioth> shaun_: pymusique is supposedly able to allow you to use itms, idk personally
[04:47] <Chizn> seems quite complex
[04:47] <icewt> joetheodd: it should work with wine too. try #winehq
[04:47] <bird> k ty
[04:47] <|sam|> shaun_ but you just select the ipod and add files or folders to it
[04:48] <kevogod> nalioth, It would be sharpmusique now
[04:48] <kevogod> *SharpMusique
[04:48] <matw> It all depends on the librarys you use. I still haven't figured out what I need
[04:48] <nalioth> kevogod: as mentioned, i dont use it
[04:48] <Paradoxx> where are applications installed on a ubuntu machine...i'm trying to find for example where azureus is installed
[04:48] <PresuntoRJ> bird: it`s supposed to operate in batch mode following the cmds in the bachfiles as stdin
[04:48] <nalioth> Paradoxx: /usr/bin/
[04:48] <|sam|> yeah sharpmusique is the prog to buy itunes songs
[04:48] <matw> Anyone run FreeNX on AMD64 kernel?
[04:48] <mescaline> jighead: that's the problem. I start my comp. but gnome doesn't start. so i run dpkg..etc right from X window. and when i do it it says that neither xserver or xorg are installed
[04:49] <PresuntoRJ> bird: I`ll find a bash shell guide site to help you with more difficulty commands
[04:49] <wickedpuppy> nalioth, is azureus in the repo ? i thought you got to download it from the sf ?
[04:49] <x999> nalioth: did you read your MOTB?
[04:49] <|sam|> not sure about podcasts in linux but i never found one worth listening to anyway :)
[04:49] <holycow> mescaline, do sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop, that should install everything
[04:49] <nalioth> wickedpuppy: it is in the hoary extras, iirc
[04:49] <wickedpuppy> ah i see
[04:49] <nalioth> x999: my what?
[04:49] <wickedpuppy> no wonder i can't see it in my breezy repos
[04:49] <holycow> gnome-desktop-environment  <-- actually thats what you need
[04:50] <jighead> mescaline: what is the exact command you are using?  it should be dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, it's just one package
[04:50] <mescaline> holycow: thanks, i'll try it
[04:50] <Paradoxx> nalioth: ty much
[04:50] <shaun_> |sam|: cool, thatnks
[04:50] <mescaline> jighead: sorry you're right i wrote ir wrong
[04:50] <|sam|> shaun_ no prob, have fun
[04:51] <Paradoxx> nalioth: i don't see azurues there
[04:51] <|sam|> Paradoxx azureus also makes an .azureus file in your home directory with its configuration settings
[04:51] <wickedpuppy> Paradoxx, how did you install azureus ?
[04:52] <nxv_> xboard cant finde helvetica. which package do i have to install to have xboard running?
[04:52] <Paradoxx> don't remember...
[04:52] <Paradoxx> i think it was via synaptic
[04:52] <wickedpuppy> ah k ...
[04:52] <nalioth> Paradoxx: visit azureus.sourceforge.net and get it
[04:52] <mescaline> holycow: after I run apt-get install gnome-desktop. i'll have to get my themes, apps etc agarin?
[04:52] <Paradoxx> nalioth: but i have it already..it is installed, i just don't see it where you told me
[04:53] <jighead> mescaline: if all you did was botch your xorg.conf, then you shouldn't need to reinstall anything
[04:53] <holycow> mescaline, i don't know what you did to get it removed, so it depends
[04:53] <nalioth> Paradoxx: i doubt you will see it in the standard place. type in a terminal "locate azureus"
[04:53] <wickedpuppy> Paradoxx, whereis azureus , locate azureus
[04:53] <b|d-vorador> i have a very weird problem, i downloaded a torrent thats an .avi file and its on my system but i cant find it.  Its supposed to be in my /home/ directory but it isnt there even when i show all files
[04:53] <b|d-vorador> any suggestions?
[04:54] <wickedpuppy> b|d-vorador, which client ?
[04:54] <b|d-vorador> whatever the default one is that comes with breezy badger
[04:54] <mescaline> jighead:holycow: thanks i'll try to get it up and running again. (i'm on the ubuntu live cd now)
[04:54] <holycow> do sudo updatedb then do locate *.avi or whatever it is
[04:54] <iceman> Help, how can i access my toolbar, it is off my visual screen ...
[04:55] <wickedpuppy> b|d-vorador, cd; find ./ -name "*.avi" -print;
[04:55] <Paradoxx> i don't get any output from either of those commands
[04:55] <b|d-vorador> what does sudo updatedb do?
[04:55] <iceman> What application nem is there that controls screen resolution ?
[04:55] <b|d-vorador> i just did it and its sitting there
[04:56] <Paradoxx> well, for the whereis all it returns is 'azurues: '
[04:56] <|sam|> iceman if you move the mouse to where it should be and hold down the left and right buttons you can drag them to the sides of the screen
[04:56] <wickedpuppy> b|d-vorador, it updates the database thats used by locate command :P
[04:56] <wickedpuppy> Paradoxx, locate ?
[04:56] <|sam|> iceman system>prefences>screen resoultion
[04:57] <wickedpuppy> lunch time for me ... brb
[04:57] <Chizn> how would i configure my wlan interface?
[04:57] <b|d-vorador> i still dont see it lol
[04:57] <wickedpuppy> Chizn, iwconfig
[04:57] <Chizn> it doesnt seem to be listed in networking
[04:57] <Chizn> thank you
[04:57] <Paradoxx> ok it worked the second time
[04:57] <nalioth> Paradoxx: type sudo updatedb, and then try them again
[04:57] <b|d-vorador> ive never had this problem before, i dont get it
[04:57] <iceman> no i cannot get to the menu bar .. it is clear off my screen ...
[04:57] <Chizn> hum, says i have no wireless interfaces?
[04:58] <Chizn> are USB adapters supported?
[04:58] <PresuntoRJ> bird: hope I could help
[04:58] <b|d-vorador> anyone else have any suggestions? that didnt work
[04:58] <|sam|> iceman move the mouse up as far as it will go and then hold both buttons down and drag the bar to dock at the side of the screen
[04:58] <nalioth> Chizn: depends on the chipset
[04:59] <Chizn> its a belkin?
[04:59] <iceman> sam my screen resolution is off, doc bar off the isible area ..
[04:59] <Chizn> lol
[04:59] <|sam|> iceman can you see the bottom panel?
[04:59] <iceman> sam no .. it is beyond the visable area ...
[04:59] <P8ntKid> How do i get VMware for ubuntu?
[05:00] <b|d-vorador> i know its there because if i click the link to the torrent again it says its 100% complete and it shows the files location yet its not there
[05:00] <iceman> sam i moved it to the bottom ...
[05:00] <nalioth> ubotu: tell Chizn about wireless
[05:00] <iceman> now it's traped, or better i'm traped
[05:00] <mustard5> I've got two items pinned in my synaptic that don't seem to want to unlock, gnome-applet and gnome-applet-data.  I installed gnome-applet and gnome-applet-data from Yar repo and they didnt work (ciruclar dependency issue)..and now after uninstalling and reinstalling using dpkg these two are stuck pinned
[05:00] <|sam|> iceman move it to the side?
[05:00] <dducko> iceman, can you adjust your monitor?
[05:00] <Chizn> thank you
[05:01] <iceman> sam cant move it, cant get to it ..
[05:01] <iceman> dducko mot a monitor issue...
[05:01] <b|d-vorador> if i hit open from my bittorrent client it even opens the file, wtf
[05:01] <b|d-vorador> it plays fine
[05:01] <b|d-vorador> why can i not see it
[05:01] <_jason> b|d-vorador:  search for the file and see where it turns up
[05:01] <robertbb> Gah, got it.
[05:01] <robertbb> !!
[05:01] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, ! is what you add before a sentence to talk to me
[05:02] <NetDreamz> is it possible to install hoary from a breezy live cd?
[05:02] <robertbb> It works, I'm off :-) BBQ time.
[05:02] <b|d-vorador> jason no kidding
[05:02] <iceman> how to create a Shortcut on screen to the Screen resolution application ... anyone know its name ?
[05:02] <farruinn> NetDreamz: it's not possible to install from livecd yet
[05:02] <b|d-vorador> ive done a bunch of searches. it doesnt show up in any of them
[05:02] <farruinn> NetDreamz: especially a previous release...
[05:02] <NetDreamz> could I install debian from this cd?
[05:02] <NetDreamz> I'm trying to get VHCS setup
[05:02] <iiiears> iceman if the reolution is making things HUGE holding your mouse near the edge of the desktop will cause the entire desk to scroll where you point the mouse. it will allow you to reach the settings. - if you don't need dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:03] <NetDreamz> on breezy it hasn't been possible
[05:03] <_jason> b|d-vorador:  thenmy guess would be it has a different name than you think it does
[05:03] <farruinn> NetDreamz: I think there is some black magic you can do to install from a livecd, but I have no idea how
[05:03] <NetDreamz> lol ok, thanks
[05:03] <iceman> iiiears does not work... i have tried it
[05:04] <farruinn> NetDreamz: you could add a deb-src line for hoary in your sources.list and 'apt-get source -b <package=version>'
[05:04] <|sam|> iceman gnome-display-properties
[05:04] <b|d-vorador> it doesnt :(
[05:04] <iceman> I need the Application gnome uses to control screen resolution ? I can link a icon "shortcut to it, then launch ... but what application.... where in the file structure
[05:05] <|sam|> iceman rightclick on the desktop, create launcher and the command is gnome-display-properties
[05:05] <iceman> sam that did the trick .. thanks
[05:06] <|sam|> iceman no worries
[05:06] <sells> has anyone used the new version of ubuntu
[05:06] <bur[n] er> sells: define "new"
[05:06] <Nihil85> hallo
[05:06] <farruinn> sells: breezey? yes, many! :D
[05:06] <iceman> what i was trying to do, just needed the app name, then shortcut to it ...
[05:06] <sells> farruinn: how do you like it
[05:06] <sells> farruinn: what changes do you notice
[05:06] <farruinn> sells: very well
[05:07] <sells> farruinn: many changes?
[05:07] <Nihil85> i cannot find the right kernel for my graphic card (nvidia geforce fx5200). can anyone help me?
[05:07] <bur[n] er> sells: gnome 2.10 to 2.12... yes :)
[05:07] <farruinn> sells: not too many, only cool ones like usplash :) Chech out the release notes
[05:07] <|sam|> nihil85   sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[05:07] <sells> bur[n] er: noticeable changes?
[05:07] <bur[n] er> sells: definately
[05:07] <SEJeff> sells: Most of the changes are pure polish and under the hood stuff. Yes
[05:07] <Mabus06> anyone know of a good torrent search program for linux?
[05:08] <sells> farruinn: what is usplash
[05:08] <bur[n] er> sells: many UI stuff
[05:08] <b|d-vorador> Jason: now i see it for some reason when doing a simple ls command
[05:08] <Nihil85> sampan, this kernel it's not good, because it make my ubuntu freeze
[05:08] <bur[n] er> usplash == fancy graphical boot
[05:08] <sells> bur[n] er: sorry, UI
[05:08] <b|d-vorador> but i cant see it if i use the gui
[05:08] <The_Universe> Mabus06, Empornium.us
[05:08] <bur[n] er> Mabus06: ktorrent
[05:08] <bur[n] er> sells: UI == user interface
[05:08] <sells> bur[n] er: user interfaces
[05:08] <robotgeek> Mabus06: i just have a keyword search. so, i go tor <keyword> in firefox
[05:08] <sells> bur[n] er: cool
[05:08] <farruinn> should 'gpg --clearsign' take *forever* to run?
[05:08] <_jason> b|d-vorador:  I think I've had problems with files under another file... does it let you "clean up" or auto-arrange them?
[05:08] <sells> SEJeff: how do you like it
[05:09] <Mabus06> yes but I'd like to sort based on which has the most seeders
[05:09] <robotgeek> farruinn: i think it's waiting for a input. AFAIK, gpg --clearsign takes an input
[05:09] <mescaline> jighead: thanks I fixed it
[05:09] <Alexandre-ES> Greetings from Brazil!
[05:09] <iiiears> Nihil85, - is there more to nvidia-settings than i am seeing? some switch or osomething because it seems very basic.
[05:09] <b|d-vorador> how do i know if it lets me do those things
[05:09] <farruinn> robotgeek: hrm, I gave it my password, but there's no prompt now
[05:09] <iceman> ok, weird question, is there a way to change the icon size for desktop icons..
[05:09] <farruinn> robotgeek: entering some random text doesn't change anything
[05:10] <PresuntoRJ> I got to go guys... talk to you soon
[05:10] <|sam|> nihil85  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368 is a post on howto install latest nvidia driver from source
[05:10] <Nihil85> iiiears, i haven't understood you
[05:10] <_jason> b|d-vorador:  you're using nautilus? just right-click and go to auto-arrange name or date for example
[05:10] <Nihil85> [s, thanks
[05:10] <b|d-vorador> if i right click i dont get those options
[05:10] <x999> nalioth: slashdot server said to type /motb at any time to read terms and poopah blah blah blah
[05:10] <Nihil85> i hope this will make my Ubuntu more stable, because now it's a every-minute-freezing
[05:11] <robotgeek> farruinn: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto
[05:11] <nalioth> x999: you mean /motd ?
[05:11] <iiiears> Nihil85, - nvidia-settings only shows "enable tools tips"  and a few others nothing about AA or even display gamma.
[05:11] <_jason> b|d-vorador:  hrmm it should... did you right click on some empty space?  breezy right?
[05:12] <Mabus06> someone messaged me this:
[05:12] <mescaline> simple question to anyone... does screen resolution has anything to do with performance/
[05:12] <mescaline> ?
[05:12] <newbie_at_linux> how can get opera to use java on ubuntu i have jre installed but opera is not using it
[05:12] <x999> Oh yeah, did I mention that I get those dang letters backwords on accasion?
[05:12] <_jason> b|d-vorador:  exact term is "arrange items" for me
[05:12] <b|d-vorador> yea breezy
[05:12] <x999> nalioth:
[05:12] <Nihil85> at this moment i cannot run these settings, because i had a problem with my X kernel. the nvidia kernel is older than the X one, so it can't run
[05:12] <Mabus06> Illegal discussions aren't allowed in channel
[05:12] <b|d-vorador> i dont see that option by right clicking
[05:12] <SEJeff> sells: Breezy is worth the update
[05:12] <_jason> b|d-vorador:  or go to the view menu up top
[05:12] <Mabus06> Torrents arent illegal are they? They just CAN be used illegally?
[05:12] <Nihil85> iiiears, have you understand my situation?
[05:13] <b|d-vorador> i dont see that either
[05:13] <iiiears> Nihil85, - okay. - i understand comepletely - lol - installing and configuring a tv tuner forced a re-install.
[05:13] <nalioth> Mabus06: bit torrent is not illegal (any more than a car or ski mask is illegal)
[05:13] <b|d-vorador> view menu doesnt have those options either
[05:13] <mescaline> will a higher screen res. affect my system performance??
[05:13] <|sam|> iiiears in my nvidia-settings it has many options, where did you install your from?
[05:13] <iiiears> Thanks
[05:13] <SEJeff> mescaline: If you have a crappy video card it will
[05:13] <sells> SEJeff: cool, I will update my PC first, then laptop
[05:14] <Mabus06> that's what I thought, nalioth, just someone's message confused me is all
[05:14] <iiiears> | sam | it must be misconfigured. i'll google a bit.
[05:14] <newbie_at_linux> how can i use java in opera
[05:14] <b|d-vorador> this is so lame
[05:14] <nalioth> newbie_at_linux: visit the opera homepage and see the faq
[05:14] <|sam|> iiiears try sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings   thats the one im running atm
[05:14] <_jason> b|d-vorador:  not sure what to tell you... my nautilus in gnome has that and I don't think I changed anything
[05:14] <mescaline> SEJeff: it's kinda crappy. nVidia mX440 64MB. how does a 1400x1050 sound? or should I stay with 1280x960?
[05:15] <b|d-vorador> jason: i can only arrange icons by name, size, etc. in preferences
[05:16] <b|d-vorador> i dont get the option by right clicking or in view
[05:16] <x999> nalioth: so would you tell me what that acronym means?
[05:16] <iiiears> | sam | yep - i think adding nvidia-settings using the nv   driver was a bad idea  - reinstalled and now it seems better.
[05:16] <nalioth> x999: it means "message of the day"
[05:16] <locomorto> Can someone please suggest a good gtk typing program?
[05:16] <b|d-vorador> If I'm in konsole i can see the avi file by doing a simple ls command but if im in nautilus i cannot see it
[05:16] <|sam|> iiiears cool :)
[05:16] <x999> nalioth: thanks.
[05:17] <Nihil85> iiiears, can you answer me in pvt?
[05:17] <Nihil85> here's a big confusion
[05:17] <Nihil85> *there's
[05:18] <_jason> b|d-vorador:  hit the reload button in nautilus, maybe that will arrange them correctly
[05:18] <budluva> anyone in here play enemy territory in ubuntu? im lookin through the manual and cant find any options to show my FPS, anyone know how i can do this?
[05:18] <b|d-vorador> tried that already
[05:18] <b|d-vorador> didnt work
[05:18] <glitch-> im trying to follow the instructions for installing ndiswrapper that are on the Ubuntu wiki.and the make is throwing out a crazy error "/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-386/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 11: gcc-3.4: command not found"..i have gcc v 4.0 installed..and that /scripts directory does not have a gcc-version script in it
[05:18] <carlk> I have an 30gb drive that was all an ntfs partion, 7.2g used. how come the ubunt installer only would allow me to shrink it to 18 and not 7.2?
[05:19] <_jason> b|d-vorador:  sorry, out of ideas then
[05:19] <lando> ok, my situation is that I have fedora 3 and I'm unable to boot into it.  I am willing to re install I just want to get some files off of of my desktop folder in fedora. I can mount the drive in ubuntu but it says that I don't have the privileges. This is because I can't log into my account on fedora.  Can anyone help me?
[05:20] <carlk> lando, sudo chmod -r 777 /home/lando
[05:20] <bimberi> glitch-: install gcc-3.4
[05:20] <iiiears> Nihil85, - nvidia-glx has worked okay for me haven't tried installing/compiling anything else. afraid to offer advice on your situation.
[05:20] <carlk> or wherever the files are.  that will make them readable by all users, like the one you are logged in un Ubunt
[05:20] <Nihil85> oh, what a pity
[05:21] <b|d-vorador> Ok this is what I just did to test something:  In konsole i created a new directory named: Blah.  I moved the avi file from the /home to /home/blah directory.  I see the directory in nautilus but i dont see the file in the folder but i can see the avi file fine still using the command line.  WTF
[05:21] <Nihil85> don't your Ubuntu breezy freez every minute? why only mine did it? :P
[05:21] <|sam|> glitch install gcc-3.4 g++3.4 and use export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4 before you run the script to make it use 3.4
[05:21] <josh43> anyone here got EVDEV working?
[05:21] <carlk> anyone know how I can shrink an ntfs partition?
[05:22] <josh43> b|d-vorador, From the command line do: chmod -R 777 blah
[05:22] <imterro> hey what is a good spyware cleanere
[05:22] <bimberi> carlk: i'm guessing fragmentation is the issue
[05:22] <imterro> ?
[05:22] <|sam|> carlk run defrag on it lots until all the files are at the start then use gparted to resize
[05:22] <P8ntKid> How do i create a root password? i know its not the smartest thing. But i need to know how.
[05:22] <carlk> bimberi, |sam| - thanks, ill give that a shot
[05:22] <bimberi> P8ntKid: sudo passwd (if you must :) )
[05:22] <|sam|> carlk np :)
[05:23] <josh43> carlk, the best way without chancing losing data is to do it from windows (if you dont dual-boot, you shouldn't have an ntfs partition)
[05:23] <Quest-Master> Is it 11:23 PM EST right now?
[05:23] <bimberi> carlk: yw :)
[05:23] <_jason> Quest-Master:  yes
[05:23] <P8ntKid> bimberi: Thanks.
[05:23] <Quest-Master> Ok, thanks
[05:23] <bimberi> P8ntKid: yw :)
[05:23] <Quest-Master> With DST off, right?
[05:23] <imterro> anyone? my browser is being hijacked?
[05:23] <_Dez> i need some help guys, i have a WPC54G Wireless Card V2, its not working
[05:24] <glitch-> |sam|:apt-get can't find those packages or do I need to do something special to pick another version?
[05:24] <|sam|> glitch i think its 3.4.5 or sommat. best to search with synaptic
[05:24] <carlk> huston, we have a problem: sudo: gpartd: command not found
[05:24] <bdoojin> Hi guys
[05:24] <bdoojin> I can't install mplayer with apt-get
[05:24] <_jason> Quest-Master:  not sure what you mean by off.  I set my clock back one hour this morning though
[05:24] <bdoojin> what's wrong?
[05:25] <Quest-Master> That's right
[05:25] <josh43> Does noone here use evdev? Every time I specify it in xorg.conf, it dies saying evdev not found, but when I boot normally, it's loaded as a module!?!
[05:25] <The_Universe> ubuntu automatically adjusted my cock
[05:25] <The_Universe> uh...clock
[05:25] <bdoojin> Quest-Master : do you know what is wrong with my apt-get?
[05:25] <Belutz> The_Universe, LOL
[05:25] <Xaios> Hey how can I kill a process in ubuntu like xmms (which just froze on me) I know its like kill something
[05:25] <_jason> bdoojin:  did you enable multiverse?
[05:25] <glitch-> |sam|:the module is installed however i need to use the ndiswrapper command to load the driver and there is no ndiswrapper command i can load the module, no problem
[05:25] <bdoojin> what the hell is multiverse?
[05:26] <b|d-vorador> great now the file is completely deleted
[05:26] <_jason> ubotu:  tell bdoojin about mplayer
[05:26] <josh43> The_Universe, Awww, I was going to ask what I had to run @ a shell prompt ;)
[05:26] <robotgeek> carlk: gparted
[05:26] <b|d-vorador> many hours of downloading completely wasted
[05:26] <b|d-vorador> sweet
[05:26] <_jason> bdoojin:  read what ubotu sent you, there is alink on enabling multiverse on that page as well
[05:26] <bimberi> bdoojin: it's an ubuntu repository containing non-free unsupported packages
[05:26] <caonex> what is the package that builds the complete directory /usr/X11R6/?
[05:26] <bimberi> bdoojin: unsupported by canonical that is
[05:27] <carlk> robotgeek, doh.  thanks
[05:27] <bdoojin> jason : how ubuntu is for people though it doesn't have multiverse on?
[05:27] <josh43> caonex, if you are looking for usr/X11R/Server/ - it does not exist in ubuntu
[05:27] <_jason> bdoojin:  what do you mean?
[05:27] <|sam|> glitch- i cant help with that cause i dont use wireless, i just know how to tell the script to use  c++-3.4
[05:27] <bdoojin> Mplayer and amule is what many people want
[05:27] <The_Universe> they should make USB sex toys
[05:27] <josh43> The_Universe, They do
[05:28] <caonex> josh43 nope i deleted some of the contents of that folder and i want to rebuild it
[05:28] <bdoojin> _jason : I think many people want video player and p2p program.
[05:28] <_jason> bdoojin:  it's easy to get it, you'll see
[05:28] <josh43> The_Universe, www.slashdong.org
[05:28] <The_Universe> like...they should make a vibrator that vibrates to the rhythm of the currently playign mp3
[05:28] <bdoojin> _jason : if I don't know about irc, I could install mplayer?
[05:28] <|sam|> 0_o
[05:28] <The_Universe> i dont know whats scarier, that such a thing actually exists, or that josh43 knows where you can buy it
[05:29] <glitch-> |sam| my version 5.10 Fresh off the CD
[05:29] <|sam|> haha
[05:29] <josh43> lol
[05:29] <_jason> bdoojin:  yes, you could search the wiki and you could read the forums or go to system->help or go to help.ubuntu.com ...
[05:29] <josh43> The scarier part is that you are scared of it :P
[05:29] <pschulz01> Is anyone here programming with mono on Ubuntu?
[05:29] <glitch-> |sam|:Well how could I install gcc-3.4?
[05:29] <bdoojin> _jason : what if I was just a beginner and didn't even know about wiki?
[05:29] <|sam|> glitch- i thought your problem was the script you was running was giving errors because it couldnt find c++-3.4 ?
[05:29] <caonex> how do i reinstall the core keyboard for xorg in ubuntu?
[05:29] <_jason> bdoojin:  lol idk, I don't make ubuntu but it seems like you found it ok
[05:30] <bdoojin> It is obvious that it is not for people
[05:30] <Neophite> Does anyone know if Samba has rsync-like funtionality?
[05:30] <The_Universe> pschulz01, i would imagine no because mono makes you very tired and programming while you have mono would cause to to make many silly mistakes
[05:30] <josh43> bdoojin, Ubuntu is a perfect fresh install for people that don't use proprietory formats.. it reads ogg audio no problem, mp3 is a huge legal thing.. it reads open video formats as well
[05:30] <glitch-> |sam|:Would there be a way to map gcc-3.4 to gcc?
[05:30] <glitch-> |sam|:Correct
[05:30] <|sam|> yeah export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4
[05:30] <|sam|> then run the script
[05:30] <bdoojin> hmm
[05:30] <glitch-> |sam|:this is making the pkg because I'm going to reinstall it so I have the ndiswrapper command
[05:30] <Xaios> How do I kill xmms? Its frozen...
[05:30] <pschulz01> The_Universe: Wha?
[05:31] <bdoojin> I think a distro that children can use easily is for people
[05:31] <robotgeek> Xaios: 'killall xmms' in a terminal
[05:31] <glitch-> |sam|:in any case, it would be helpful if you could show me how to get that working the gcc-3.4 problem ..is there a way to map gcc-3.4 to gcc?
[05:31] <Xaios> thanks robotgeek
[05:31] <|sam|> glitch- use export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4
[05:31] <dave> hi
[05:31] <josh43> Xaios, Drop to a shell prompt, run "top", mark the PID of xmms, press q, then "kill <PID>"
[05:32] <The_Universe> kill -s SIGSEV PID
[05:32] <icewt> xkill
[05:32] <bdoojin> jesus christ
[05:32] <pschulz01> I'm actually looking for the glade package that has the Gnome widgets.
[05:32] <virax_clone> hello
[05:32] <|sam|> glitch- is it working now?
[05:32] <bdoojin> There is repository settings in synaptic manager
[05:32] <glitch-> "/usr/bin/gcc-3.4: command not found"
[05:33] <iiiears> Xaios - you can add a one click kill-app   to the tool bar right click and "add to panel"
[05:33] <pschulz01> Ahhh... found it.. that would be.. glade-gnome-2
[05:33] <|sam|> glitch- install gcc-3.4
[05:34] <glitch-> sam can't find it to install
[05:34] <cafuego> glitch-: The ndiswrapper-utils package is pre-built and requires no compiling.
[05:35] <cafuego> glitch-: If you have a stock kernel, the same goes for the module.
[05:35] <|sam|> glitch- sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4 not working?
[05:35] <cafuego> !find bin/ndiswrapper
[05:35] <glitch-> okay, then how do I load teh driver I want?
[05:35] <glitch-> because they say to use "ndiswrapper driver.sys"
[05:35] <glitch-> but ndiswrapper is not there.
[05:35] <cafuego> Hold on whilst ubotu searches
[05:35] <glitch-> correct, gcc-3.4 is not there.
[05:36] <cafuego> glitch-: Who said that?
[05:36] <|sam|> glitch- then do sudo apt-get install g++-3.4
[05:36] <cafuego> |sam|: No.
[05:36] <cafuego> |sam|: There is no need to compile anything.
[05:36] <phI||Ip> anybody here an ASP.NET developer that switched to OS centric languages?
[05:36] <HrdwrBoB> er
[05:36] <HrdwrBoB> what?
[05:36] <The_Universe> the most pleasurable programming experiance i ever had was pygtk
[05:36] <ubotu> Ubuntu Search of 'bin/ndiswrapper' (1 shown): (/usr/sbin/{ndiswrapper|ndiswrapper-buginfo}) in misc/ndiswrapper-utils.
[05:36] <phI||Ip> really? why was that?
[05:36] <glitch-> yes, I'm fully aware the module is included
[05:37] <|sam|> cafuego he was building a script to install ndswrapper and got an error regarding cpp-3.4
[05:37] <phI||Ip> reason I ask is, I run my own consultancy locally and do mainly Windows development
[05:37] <The_Universe> its a beautiful language, very easy
[05:37] <Xaios> thanks for all your help guys!
[05:37] <The_Universe> makes sence
[05:37] <phI||Ip> but more clients are asking for open source solutions
[05:37] <The_Universe> very logical
[05:37] <HrdwrBoB> The_Universe: well python is the language
[05:37] <HrdwrBoB> phI||Ip: php
[05:37] <glitch-> But I don't know how to use it
[05:37] <cafuego> glitch-: Run 'sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)'
[05:37] <glitch-> https://wiki.ubuntu.com//SetupNdiswrapperHowto
[05:37] <HrdwrBoB> phI||Ip: php runs on windows, linux, whatever
[05:37] <cafuego> |sam|: He shouldn't be building it to begin with.
[05:37] <phI||Ip> I'm familar with PHP, I have used it in the past, but nothing as extensive as asp.net
[05:37] <iceman> where does ubuntu put gkrellm themes, to install more ?
[05:37] <HrdwrBoB> python is also good, and the same deal
[05:37] <The_Universe> gui program with python and gtk
[05:38] <The_Universe> is a cake walk
[05:38] <cafuego> glitch-: Once those packages are installed you eill have 1) The kernel driver and 2) the command line tool.
[05:38] <jimjawn_> check out the mono project
[05:38] <The_Universe> very readable and maintainable code
[05:38] <jimjawn_> univ phillipaosdifj
[05:38] <nalioth> iceman: most likely in ~/.gkrellm
[05:38] <The_Universe> and you dont have to distribute the source if you dont want to
[05:38] <phI||Ip> yeah, I was considering the MONO project, it should most definetly run my code to date
[05:38] <cafuego> mono is useless on machines with under 1GB of ram.
[05:38] <The_Universe> you can make python exe files
[05:38] <durt> iceman: ~/.gkrellm/themes i think
[05:38] <jimjawn_> Not really.
[05:38] <Belutz> sazwerx, you there?
[05:38] <phI||Ip> from what I see of the classes it supports
[05:38] <jimjawn_> I run it on my a virtual server with 32MBs.
[05:38] <cafuego> jimjawn_: It waps like mad on anything else.
[05:39] <jimjawn_> its slow, but it works.
[05:39] <cafuego> jimjawn_: i386 eh?
[05:39] <phI||Ip> but what they say it supports, versus what it actually does could be the issue
[05:39] <jimjawn_> yeah.
[05:39] <cafuego> typical
[05:39] <jimjawn_> whatever.
[05:39] <cafuego> why do they bother with other arches if they can't be arsed to make it run properly.
[05:39] <phI||Ip> but regardless, I'm at stage where making a chance in my tools is only a problem for me, as I would have to take the time to pick up the new paradigm
[05:39] <The_Universe> the beauty of python is you can run modules from it, so a python program can be *Almost* as fast as a c program
[05:39] <The_Universe> its a nice glue language
[05:40] <jimjawn_> .NET is the most well designed programming initiative I've seen yet.  Far more reliable and superior to anything else I've used.  Regardless of the platform.
[05:40] <bdoojin> oh
[05:40] <cafuego> glitch-: When done, you need the .inf file and .sys file from the windows drivers.
[05:40] <glitch-> Just did cafueg
[05:40] <bdoojin> MPLAYER Is not in universe source
[05:40] <phI||Ip> yeah, I'm a pretty big fan of ASP.NET
[05:40] <HrdwrBoB> bdoojin: no, it's in multiverse
[05:40] <_jason> bdoojin:  nope it is in multiverse
[05:40] <phI||Ip> With the plethora of components available, it can do most anything
[05:40] <cafuego> glitch-: Cool. Now run 'sudo ndiswrapper <file.inf>'
[05:40] <glitch-> thank you cafuego
[05:40] <cafuego> glitch-: Cool. Now run 'sudo ndiswrapper -i <file.inf>'
[05:40] <bdoojin> I can't find multiverse
[05:40] <HrdwrBoB> ok guys discussion of programming languages should probably move
[05:40] <cafuego> don't forget the -i
[05:41] <jimjawn_> $.02 inserted.
[05:41] <jimjawn_> good luck.
[05:41] <cafuego> !info mplayer-686
[05:41] <ubotu> mplayer-686: (transitional dummy package which can be safely removed), section multiverse/graphics, is extra. Version: 1:1.0-pre6-0.3ubuntu7 (breezy), Packaged size: 54 kB, Installed size: 96 kB
[05:41] <glitch-> I never found anything saying the utils were necessary.got em.and then run ndiswrapper -i wg111nd5.sys.oh, the inf?
[05:41] <roymustang> Hi, can anyone here help me with a problem I'm having on a Breezy install done with the server parameter? I can't seem to get my ethernet working (wired).
[05:41] <bdoojin> If ubuntu is for everyone, multiverse should be turned on
[05:41] <cafuego> glitch-: The .inf contains info about the .sys and will load as required.
[05:41] <bdoojin> already
[05:41] <cafuego> glitch-: If that -i runs OK, run 'sudo ndsiwrapper -m' and 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper'
[05:42] <cafuego> glitch-: That should see a wlan0 interface be created.
[05:42] <cafuego> bdoojin: No, because people without decent net connection would get massive download times.
[05:42] <virax_clone> back again
[05:42] <virax_clone> could someone tell me how to install the wlan-ng drivers for my D-Link DWL-650?
[05:43] <virax_clone> it uses a Prism2 chipset
[05:43] <guidan> hi guys, i have vino-server running and it uses 87% cpu is it right?
[05:43] <bdoojin> cafuego : and no chance to install mplayer
[05:43] <cafuego> virax_clone: Why not use the in-kernel prism2 driver?
[05:43] <ranma> hi, i mounted my ntfs in ubuntu and now that im back in windows i cannot access it, does anyone know how to resolve this?
[05:43] <guidan> and how do i know who's using it or on it?
[05:43] <bdoojin> Who doesn't use video player?
[05:43] <cafuego> bdoojin: Maybe they don't need/want it?
[05:43] <virax_clone> running iwconfig tells me there are no wireless extensions
[05:44] <cafuego> bdoojin: I don't. I have a perfectly servicable dvd player hooked onto the tv.
[05:44] <bdoojin> huh
[05:44] <cafuego> virax_clone: So the driver isn't loaded or didn't detect the hardware.
[05:44] <virax_clone> I don't think it detected the hardware
[05:44] <bdoojin> I want at least programs like mplayer to be implanted in linux
[05:44] <cafuego> virax_clone: Isn't the 650 a 54Mbit card?
[05:45] <cafuego> bdoojin: Why should everyone have to run the software set _YOU_ want?
[05:45] <virax_clone> no, it's an 802.11b
[05:45] <cafuego> virax_clone: Hmmm.
[05:45] <virax_clone> 11mbit
[05:45] <roymustang> I'm having trouble getting a wired network connection...anyone have any ideas what to try?
[05:45] <virax_clone> the 650+ is a 22
[05:45] <cafuego> virax_clone: Is it pci or pcmcia?
[05:45] <virax_clone> PCMCIA
[05:45] <bdoojin> cafuego : I thought video player like mplayer is what many people want
[05:45] <cafuego> virax_clone: Is pcmcia-cs running?
[05:45] <virax_clone> how can I check?
[05:46] <cafuego> bdoojin: You appear to be the first one complaining about one
[05:46] <cafuego> virax_clone: 'ps axuw | grep cardmgr'
[05:47] <virax_clone> and what am I looking for from it's response?
[05:47] <virax_clone> I see Ss  21:15  0:00 /sbin/cardmgr
[05:48] <cafuego> virax_clone: OK, that's running then.
[05:48] <cafuego> virax_clone: Anything in /var/log/syslog when you insert the card?
[05:48] <glitch-> cafuego:Now I tried iwlist wlan0 scan And got "interface doesn't support scanning"
[05:49] <cafuego> glitch-: Yep, ndiswrapper is unlikely to do anything but accept an essid and connect.
[05:49] <bdoojin> cafuego : do you know where multiverse is?
[05:49] <cafuego> glitch-: if you want decent wireless functinality, you need supported hardware
[05:49] <cafuego> bdoojin: I think it's at one or more right angles to reality.
[05:50] <bdoojin> whatw?
[05:50] <bdoojin> what?
[05:50] <dducko> *chuckles*
[05:50] <cafuego> (physics joke)
[05:50] <bdoojin> I can't add multiverse to synaptic manager
[05:50] <dducko> Yeah you can...
[05:50] <alexandros> has ankone been able to mkv format
[05:50] <ray> my soundcard is detected but i hear no sound????????
[05:51] <bdoojin> dducko : do I need to add the server to synaptic manager?
[05:51] <cafuego> pump up the volume
[05:51] <ray> i did
[05:51] <mc|amb> mfi,
[05:51] <dducko> Its added when you edit your sources
[05:51] <virax_clone> what exactly am I looking for?
[05:51] <dducko> or you can do it in the manager
[05:51] <dducko> easiest way is to edit your source.list
[05:51] <dducko> !repos
[05:52] <dducko> with the ones found... Ubotu gone?
[05:52] <_jason> !repos
[05:52] <bdoojin> dducko : thanks I added multiverse to section
[05:52] <glitch-> cafuego:It's not displayed in netowrk settings either.iwconfig isn't showing a wlan0
[05:52] <Mr_Milenko> ubotu tell dducko about repos
[05:52] <mustard5> ray, you checked all the basic simple things like volume settings and such?
[05:53] <theturtle> hey
[05:53] <lando> carlk: thank for the help I am just a rookie I should have known that
[05:53] <mustard5> ray, speakers plugged in etc...
[05:53] <dducko> yeah.. i did nt realize he messaged me if I had a chat window opened with him
[05:53] <ray> of course
[05:53] <theturtle> anyone know of a bittorrent client with a web interface to it?
[05:53] <mustard5> ray, what you using to test sound?
[05:54] <robotgeek> theturtle: there's are a few. http://rufus.sf.net has one
[05:54] <theturtle> u get 5$ each time?
[05:54] <theturtle> :)
[05:55] <robotgeek> theturtle: unfortunately not. i just kinda like the proggie
[05:55] <iiiears> nice torrent client
[05:55] <Chizn> anybody use News Clients?
[05:55] <robotgeek> Chizn: as in a RSS reader?
[05:56] <ray> mustard5, what should i try
[05:56] <bdoojin> dducko : isn't it weird? there is no mplayer even if I added multiverse to section
[05:56] <mustard5> ray, try system>>preferences>multimedia selector and press the 'test' button
[05:56] <bdoojin> oh
[05:56] <Chizn> no like a NNTP client?
[05:56] <bdoojin> dducko : it is somewhere
[05:56] <Chizn> robotgeek,
[05:56] <tga> Chizn, try pan
[05:57] <dducko> !tell bdoojin about repos
[05:57] <Chizn> is it good?
[05:57] <dducko> The one listed for breezy is the exact one i have, and mplayer is in there.
[05:57] <tga> Chizn, it's alright
[05:57] <dducko> Thats the easiest way to do it.
[05:57] <ray> mustard5, nope dont work
[05:57] <cee-jay> can someone help me with a dual-boot problem?
[05:57] <mustard5> ray, you on hoary or breezy?
[05:57] <glitch-> cafuego:I think I ended up doing something in the wrong order.So I removed the module and reinserted it.Nah, getting Apache set up again is about midway on my todo list
[05:58] <ray> mustard5, breezy
[05:58] <shwag> how do I get embedded quicktime movies to work in firefox ?
[05:58] <mustard5> ray, k..thats eliminates hoary sound problems...
[05:58] <ray> mustard5, with other distros sound works by default with this kernel
[05:58] <bdoojin> dducko : I'm installing mplayer through multiverse
[05:59] <tga> shwag, mplayerplug-in is one way
[05:59] <bdoojin> I found it in graphic section
[05:59] <mustard5> ray, its probably something pretty simple..what card you using?
[06:00] <ray> mustard5, onboard intel
[06:00] <lando> cee jay what is the problem with dual boot?
[06:00] <mustard5> ray, you using only onboard?  no other sound cards installed?
[06:01] <ray> mustard5, nope
[06:01] <ale8one> i couldn't get dual boot to work today either
[06:01] <cee-jay> everything was ok (win xp and breezy) with GRUB, but i installed GAG (graphical bootloader)--now ubuntu won't load.
[06:01] <Alister> hello
[06:01] <mustard5> ray, I'm on this page in wiki atm https://wiki.ubuntu.com//DebuggingSoundProblems/
[06:01] <cee-jay> "boot sector not found"
[06:01] <josh43> cee-jay, Install GRUB to the boot partition next time, not to MBR
[06:01] <ray> mustard5, withe hoary i had to compile the latest alsa for sound to work.....but with the 2.6.12 kernel i never have a problem
[06:02] <cee-jay> how do you install grub?
[06:02] <cee-jay> other than on 1st install with breezy cd?
[06:02] <josh43> cee-jay, Not sure.. man grub?
[06:03] <fadumpt> someone mentioned the other day that there was a way to install mplayer using apt-get...can someone point me in the right direction?
[06:03] <alekz> hi, i've installed gaim-guifications using apt but i start gaim and the plug-in doesnt appear to be installed, can someone help me ?
[06:03] <cee-jay> i'll try..
[06:03] <josh43> why does everyone want mplayer these days?
[06:03] <mustard5> ray, any 'esd' processes running?
[06:03] <fadumpt> i had it on my last ubuntu system and it worked great
[06:03] <ray> mustard5, nope
[06:04] <icewt> josh43: because it's the best?-)
[06:04] <fadumpt> but that system fried it's capacitors...so for now I have to switch computers :)
[06:04] <theturtle> is there a deb or rpm for rufus?
[06:04] <mc|amb> josh43. mplayer owns!!
[06:04] <lando> yeah josh what is better than mplayer?
[06:04] <josh43> icewt, mc|amb fadumpt - VLC is so much easier tho
[06:04] <Parisi> vlc is better then mplayer
[06:04] <fadumpt> easier to do what?
[06:04] <icewt> josh43: but mplayer is like swiss army knife
[06:04] <fadumpt> what icewt said
[06:04] <ray> mplayer is pretty easy
[06:04] <fadumpt> easy to do what?
[06:04] <fadumpt> install?
[06:04] <fadumpt> use?
[06:04] <josh43> icewt, You've never used vlc then
[06:05] <fadumpt> i used VLC on mac OS X and didn't like it
[06:05] <lando> josh43 well thanks to you i might just try it out
[06:05] <josh43> Mplayer: kinstall, find windows codec, install them, configure the settings. VLC: Install. Play.
[06:05] <x999> nalioth: is it a bad thing for me to recieve a CTCP VERSION from somebody?  And where do i find it?
[06:05] <mustard5> ray, can you paste the output of aplay -l in channel #flood?
[06:06] <robotgeek> theturtle: just download and run
[06:06] <icewt> josh43: i am using it for dvds because it supports menus. that's pretty much all i need it for.
[06:06] <ray> mustard5, sure thing
[06:06] <cafuego> cee-jay: sudo apt-get install grub; sudo /sbin/grub-install /dev/hdX
[06:06] <robotgeek> theturtle: it uses python
[06:06] <fadumpt> there is an apt-get way to install mplayer right?
[06:06] <josh43> fadumpt, Did you use something else for media in osx? That's basically where I started using it..
[06:07] <fadumpt> I have mplayer in OS X now
[06:07] <fadumpt> and it works great
[06:07] <fadumpt> VLC just didn't seem to work for me
[06:07] <theturtle> robotgekk all they ahve available for download is src, but at any rate
[06:07] <theturtle> i dunno which .py to run
[06:07] <theturtle> :D
[06:07] <theturtle> theres lots
[06:07] <cafuego> josh43: The windows codecs don't run on ppc.
[06:07] <josh43> fadumpt, Spiffy, I'm not going to tell you what to run if youve tried both :)
[06:07] <fadumpt> between mplayer, quicktime, and some MS media player use, I manage :)
[06:07] <fadumpt> josh43, I'd just like someone to point me in the right direction to apt-get mplayer on this sytem
[06:08] <BROKEN_LADDER> i'm having trouble compiling the realtime module for kernel 2.6.12.
[06:08] <fadumpt> someone said i didn't have to do all the work i had to do last time to install it (which wasn't so bad)
[06:08] <cafuego> x999: No, it's not bad, just irritating for them to query people's irc clients.
[06:08] <robotgeek> theturtle: run 'sudo ./install'
[06:08] <fadumpt> So i'd like to hear this other way :)
[06:08] <BROKEN_LADDER> has anyone compiled it successfully?
[06:08] <cafuego> x999: ... generally considered rude.
[06:08] <josh43> fadumpt, Best way: add the repository from the mplayer site, and apt-get it
[06:08] <cee-jay> cfuego/josh43:  well, i can't get into ubuntu now at all to do this.. i hosed my boot sector or something. someone said i need to reinstall lilo on the breezy partition.. true??
[06:08] <Parisi> hmm..
[06:09] <Parisi> Why would you want mplayer considering you have so many other good choices?
[06:09] <cafuego> cee-jay: Depends on whether you have LVM or raid of which filesystem type.
[06:09] <josh43> cee-jay, That would work.. you could try a livecd
[06:09] <Parisi> Unless you are really looking for a shell mplayer
[06:09] <cafuego> cee-jay: You can always boot in rescue mode from the install cd.
[06:09] <Parisi> I find mplayer just a little outdated these days.
[06:09] <ale8one> yeah, and do a fixmbr
[06:09] <ray> outdated to what?
[06:09] <ale8one> i did that today twice
[06:09] <Parisi> I used to love mplayer back a few years ago.
[06:09] <cee-jay> cafuego:  rescue mode??  that sounds great!  how?
[06:09] <j-linux> I need to download something called an NX client for a service called cosmoPOD.com.  Does anyone know which one I need to download:  http://www.nomachine.com/download_client_linux.php
[06:09] <theturtle> robotgeek- then what to run it?
[06:09] <x999> cafuego: i do not know the acronym and they seemed to be trying to help.  "how can you be a newbie and be using linux?"  I told them ubuntu BABY!
[06:10] <theturtle> rufus?
[06:10] <NsOmNiAc> bbiab
[06:10] <robotgeek> theturtle: rufus &
[06:10] <theturtle> trying to determine now what install -D is in freebsd heh
[06:10] <Parisi> vlc is better for dvd's and videos in general, and for audio i use xmms or the next generation fork of xmms
[06:10] <cafuego> cee-jay: Insert cd, wait for boot prompt, type 'rescue', hit return (I think).
[06:10] <mustard5> ray, is this relevant ? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=82205&highlight=onboard+sound
[06:10] <cee-jay> i'll try.
[06:10] <chaffinb> where do i access services settings?
[06:10] <josh43> Parisi, Next-gen? is it much different? I'm using amaroK right now for audio
[06:10] <cafuego> cee-jay: That theoretically scans for Linux partitions and will ask you which one to use as root partition.
[06:11] <tritium> chaffinb, /etc/init.d
[06:11] <chaffinb> thanks
[06:11] <cee-jay> sweet.  booting from cd now.
[06:11] <tritium> chaffinb, or System->Administration->Services
[06:11] <cafuego> chaffinb: System -> Administration -> Services
[06:11] <Xyc0> Anyone here know of a good torrent site that stays up-to-date with ubuntu releases?
[06:11] <cafuego> chaffinb: or 'rcconf' (after you install it).
[06:11] <Mark> how do I map a key combination such as alt+left arrow (key combination to go back a page in firefox) to a button or another key?
[06:11] <j-linux> Does anyone know if NX works with Ubuntu?  And if so which version should be downloaded for it?  http://www.nomachine.com/download_client_linux.php
[06:11] <chaffinb> i tried System>Admin>Services, but it's not located there
[06:11] <cafuego> Xyc0: use the ubuntu main website, go to download -> torrent; pick a torrent.
[06:11] <chaffinb> is this something i need to enable to access it by menu?
[06:12] <Parisi> josh43 I just tried it for a couple of mins, it just seemed like xmms but updated.
[06:12] <tritium> Mark, that works by default
[06:12] <Xyc0> cafuego: I dont wanna suck up bandwidth
[06:12] <guidan> how do i remove vino-server?
[06:12] <cafuego> chaffinb: Are you using breezy (Ubuntu 5.10) ?
[06:12] <dducko> j-linux,  yes it does
[06:12] <guidan> vnc-server
[06:12] <Mark> j-linux: http://www.mininova.org/
[06:12] <Parisi> josh43 I am going to use it again and see whats new abou tit.
[06:12] <chaffinb> Hoary HedgeHog
[06:12] <Parisi> it*
[06:12] <cafuego> Xyc0: Like I said, download the .torrent from the main server.,
[06:12] <robotgeek> Parisi: u are joking,right. amarok has a lot many features
[06:12] <tritium> chaffinb, if you upgrade to breezy, you'll have the GUI tool
[06:12] <cafuego> chaffinb: Ok, install and use 'rcconf' then.
[06:12] <Xyc0> cafuego: ok thanks
[06:12] <Mark> tritium: I mean i want to make a button on my mouse to go back in firefox
[06:12] <Annasweety> Can somebody please help me install updates for firefox and play mp3's?
[06:12] <josh43> Parisi, Try that, and if you are so inclined amaroK, and tell me which is better ;)
[06:12] <chaffinb> thanks! are they currently shupping out the breeze release?
[06:13] <tritium> !tell Annasweety about mp3
[06:13] <guidan> anyone know how to remove vino-server??
[06:13] <chaffinb> i just got the hoary release in the mail a couple of days ago
[06:13] <caonex> how can i install the entire xorg system, besides xorg-core?
[06:13] <cafuego> chaffinb: Breezy was released on October 13. The CDs started shipping last week.
[06:13] <icewt> Parisi: are you talking about xmms2?
[06:13] <j-linux> dducko:which version should I get?  There are ones for Debian Woody, another for Sarge, another for Red Hat, etc.  I don't see Ubuntu there.
[06:13] <Mark> tritium: or perhaps use one of these extra buttons on my keyboard as a back button in firefox
[06:13] <tristanmike> j-linux, you want the middle one, the deb
[06:13] <dducko> http://www.nomachine.com/download_product.php?Prod_Id=10
[06:13] <dducko> I installed that one
[06:13] <tritium> Mark, not sure
[06:14] <chaffinb> sorry for all the questions, but since i'm here, are those who already signed up to get cd's still on the list for new relases?
[06:14] <chaffinb> or do i have to request them?
[06:14] <Annasweety> I downloaded firefox 1.7 coz i have 1,2 right now the 1.7 firefox is in my temp folder how do i install it ?
[06:14] <j-linux> tristanmike:  The middle one on the top box or the bottom?
[06:14] <cafuego> chaffinb: No idea...
[06:14] <Mark> anyone else have any ideas how to map key combinations to a button?
[06:14] <j-linux> tristanmike:  one is Debian woody, one is sarge.
[06:14] <guidan> !vino-server
[06:14] <ubotu> guidan: NO SPEAKE ENLISH!
[06:14] <dducko> j-linux save it and then run dpkg - name.deb
[06:14] <dducko> http://www.nomachine.com/download_product.php?Prod_Id=10
[06:14] <cafuego> j-linux: Use the sarge one.
[06:14] <dducko> that link
[06:14] <tristanmike> j-linux, top
[06:14] <guidan> lol
[06:15] <j-linux> mark: does that site have something to do with NX?
[06:15] <tritium> ask cafuego, Mark.  He knows all, and what is doesn't know is a set of measure zero.
[06:15] <guidan> !vnc-server
[06:15] <ubotu> Not a clue, guidan
[06:15] <Mark> eg.: extra mouse button when pressed acts as alt+left arrow?
[06:15] <guidan> arg
[06:15] <tristanmike> j-linux, just like cafuego said
[06:15] <Annasweety> I downloaded firefox 1.7 coz i have 1,2 right now the 1.7 firefox is in my temp folder how do i install it ?
[06:15] <Slaj_R> Question: Can anyone suggest why streaming video is causing Firefox to crash?
[06:15] <j-linux> Ok thanks!
[06:15] <guidan> !vnc
[06:15] <ubotu> it has been said that vnc is http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-36715.html http://www.tightvnc.com/docs.html
[06:15] <Parisi> josh43 I tried Amarok for a few, seemed ok except for the fact that it was buggy and confusing, i dont use it now because its a kde app.
[06:15] <tritium> s/is/he
[06:15] <Mabus06> how can I test to see if my video card is working? lspci no longer lists it
[06:15] <dducko> Slaj_R, what video drivers?
[06:15] <cafuego> tritium: Well, that would be one of the things...
[06:15] <tritium> :)
[06:16] <louiepage0124198> hello everyone
[06:16] <Mark> j-linux: not really.  It's just movies, music, etc.  I thought that was what u were looking for
[06:16] <cafuego> tritium: I can do it in gpm, but not X.
[06:16] <louiepage0124198> my names louie and I'm new to ubuntu
[06:16] <robotgeek> Parisi: i personally prefer to use bmp/mp3blaster. amarok is what i would use if i have a faster machine
[06:16] <Annasweety> I downloaded firefox 1.7 coz i have 1,2 right now the 1.7 firefox is in my temp folder how do i install it ?
[06:16] <josh43> Parisi, Yeah, I used to hate that before too, but breezy is great.. running a "KDE" app, just means about 4MB of kde libs and nothing else
[06:16] <robotgeek> louiepage0124198: hi
[06:16] <tritium> cafuego, ok, next time then...
[06:16] <mc|amb> can I safely run kde apps on gnome??
[06:16] <robotgeek> mc|amb: yup
[06:16] <josh43> mc|amb, Yes
[06:16] <ray> mustard5, nahh im compiling alsa now....that will make them work : )
[06:16] <louiepage0124198> so u know I have questions about the system of course
[06:16] <Mark> cafuego: do you know how to map key combinations to my extra mouse buttons?
[06:16] <dducko> Slaj_R, I found this extension quite nice
[06:16] <dducko> http://membres.lycos.fr/sethnakht/
[06:16] <mustard5> ray, roger :)
[06:17] <louiepage0124198> hey geek
[06:17] <tritium> Annasweety, firefox 1.0.7 is in the repositories
[06:17] <josh43> Mark, I know how, but I can't make it work
[06:17] <Slaj_R> thanks, dducko
[06:17] <mc|amb> robotgeek, josh43: thanks
[06:17] <caonex> how can i install the entire xorg system, besides xorg-core?n
[06:17] <louiepage0124198> how would I install yahoo messenger
[06:17] <louiepage0124198> ?
[06:17] <robotgeek> louiepage0124198: use gaim
[06:17] <dducko> Use gaim?
[06:17] <louiepage0124198> I need yahoo for the voice chat
[06:17] <Mark> josh43:  well I guess then I'll ask how
[06:17] <sizzam> Annasweety:  sudo apt-get install mozilla-firefox     from a terminal will get you firefox v. 1.0.7
[06:17] <louiepage0124198> gaim has no voice
[06:18] <icewt> louiepage0124198: try #winehq
[06:18] <josh43> Mark, you have to use "evdev" as your mouse driver: http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=46
[06:18] <ray> louiepage0124198, isnt there yahoo for linux on the webpage
[06:18] <mc|amb> wich cdburning app do you recomend?? k3b, gnomebaker? or?
[06:18] <louiepage0124198> I think so
[06:18] <robotgeek> ray: that doesn't have voice chat.
[06:18] <ray> k3b is better in my opinion
[06:18] <tritium> sizzam, in breezy, the package name is firefox
[06:18] <louiepage0124198> how Do i install a program onto linux though
[06:18] <sizzam> oops
[06:18] <j-linux> Mark: no.. just trying to use cosmoPOD.com.  Thanks, though.
[06:18] <ray> robotgeek, i have no idea
[06:18] <robotgeek> louiepage0124198: your easiest bet is skype
[06:18] <josh43> Mark, Ubuntu has evdev already in it, but every time I set it as the driver, I can't get gnome until I set it back
[06:18] <louiepage0124198> nonono I need yahoo
[06:18] <sizzam> Annasweety:  my mistake, its  sudo apt-get install firefox     from a terminal will get you firefox v. 1.0.7
[06:18] <louiepage0124198>  theres a way I know there is
[06:19] <icewt> mc|amb: i'd recommend k3b too
[06:19] <mc|amb> thanks
[06:19] <robotgeek> mc|amb: k3b from me too :)
[06:19] <cafuego> Mark: No, no idea. I thought of doing that on my mosue, but haven't gotten around to looking into it yet, sorry ;-(
[06:19] <j-linux> dducko:  You said to use dpkg - name.deb?  so I would type: dpkg nxclient_1.5.0-113_i386.deb  and that is all?  Sudo?
[06:20] <robotgeek> j-linux: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[06:20] <louiepage0124198> whats the X window all about
[06:20] <j-linux> robotgeek: thanks.
[06:20] <louiepage0124198> how do I pull that up
[06:20] <cafuego> louiepage0124198: ymessenger is broken. Don't.
[06:20] <aeon17x> !automount
[06:20] <ubotu> aeon17x: Did you get hit by a windmill?
[06:20] <louiepage0124198> so I download the redhat then I open the X

[06:21] <tritium> a windowing system
[06:21] <Slaj_R> I got an Exception alert message when setting up Media Player Connectivity.
[06:21] <mustard5> ray, from what I am reading there seems to be a few people who have got them working, on the forums, if you ever feel inclined to try again with compiling alsa :)
[06:21] <j-linux> robotgeek:  can I delete the .deb file after that?
[06:21] <ray> mustard5, cant compile
[06:21] <dducko> j-linux, sudo dpkg -i nx....deb
[06:21] <dducko> yeas
[06:21] <robotgeek> j-linux: yes, u can. unless u need it again
[06:22] <j-linux> Thanks...
[06:22] <tritium> mustard5, those compiling newer alsa modules were using hoary, yes?
[06:22] <ray> mustard5, im gonna run back to debian ..... thanks anyway
[06:22] <mustard5> ray, ok
[06:22] <aeon17x> robotgeek: it says it's already running
[06:22] <aeon17x> !mount
[06:22] <ubotu> mount is, like, totally, the command to add partitions to your filesystem - for full instructions see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingANewHardDrive. For mounting windows partitions, see !windowsdrives
[06:22] <josh43> Mark, It occurs to me that you might make use of just the last part of the page I posted: xvkbd or xbindkeys
[06:22] <ray> !multiverse
[06:22] <mustard5> tritium never mind, ray has going back to debian :)

[06:23] <louiepage0124198> whats the X window?
[06:23] <cafuego> louiepage0124198: Nobody understands your question.
[06:23] <dducko> Its your desktop
[06:23] <aeon17x> robotgeek: it's not that... it's my CD/DVD drive. It doesn't automount itself.

[06:27] <cee-jay> cafuego and josh43:  THANKS!  Here's what i did:  booted from install cd; entered "recsue."  eventually, it just gives me a shell.  from there i just did the apt-get for grub and reinstalled.  thanks again--you rock.
[06:27] <louiepage0124198> really how would I get that?

[06:28] <thoreauputic> robotgeek: ah I see
[06:28] <josh43> cee-jay, Why thank you :) That's the first time someone has said that to me about ubuntu help.. I'm apparently learning :)
[06:29] <j-linux> Does anyone know how to start the NX client once it is installed?
[06:29] <j-linux> Can't seem to find info in Google.
[06:29] <Mark> josh43: ah.  that looks much better.  thanks
[06:29] <cee-jay> me too.  i like it when an idea DOESN'T dead-end!
[06:29] <Slaj_R> ...also, launching my home page (Google) always seems to take much longer after a crash and restart.
[06:29] <thoreauputic> j-linux: yes, it isn't in the PATH - you run /usr/NX/bin/nxclient
[06:30] <thoreauputic> j-linux: note the caps for NX
[06:30] <aeon17x> robotgeek: I still have to make a link to pmount-hal though to make Ubuntu detect my floppies and CDs. =/

[06:35] <sizzam> Chizn, sudo apt-get install alltray
[06:35] <robotgeek> lblue: under Actions -> Deskktop -> disable the Help Browser
[06:35] <Chizn> would that be in synaptics?
[06:35] <BROKEN_LADDER> HrdwrBoB sorry.. i've been debating creationists on line all day.
[06:35] <robotgeek> Chizn: i use kdocker :)

[06:36] <Chizn> sizzam, cant find it
[06:36] <sizzam> Chizn, do you have all the repositories enabled
[06:36] <Chizn> robotgeek, not there
[06:36] <Chizn> sizzam, how do i find out?
[06:37] <Chizn> lol
[06:37] <lblue> odly enough, F1 is still launching help.
[06:37] <sizzam> Chizn, in Synaptic, click Settings, then Repositories, add, then check all the boxes
[06:37] <lblue> I disabled Desktop -> Launch help browser
[06:37] <robotgeek> Chizn: hmm, i had to compile my own
[06:37] <sells> I just downloaded breezy and deselected the source list. what sources is everyone running for breezy
[06:38] <sells> it wont find some of the ips for the sources
[06:38] <sizzam> Chizn, alternatively, you can download the Ubuntu DEB file here:
[06:38] <robotgeek> lblue: weird, i did that same thing and it worked (and still works) for me
[06:38] <sizzam> Chizn,  http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/alltray/alltray.ubuntu_0.60-1_i386.deb?download
[06:38] <lblue> perhaps I should log out and back in again?
[06:38] <shwag> how do I get embedded quicktime movies to work in firefox ?
[06:38] <robotgeek> lblue: maybe, try that
[06:39] <sells> anyone with help with the sources
[06:39] <dducko> http://membres.lycos.fr/sethnakht/
[06:39] <bimberi> sells: Mine are pretty much like http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/2325
[06:39] <dducko> That extension is nce
[06:39] <aeon17x> robotgeek: Another oddity - my CD mounts as another entry in the computer.
[06:39] <sells> bimberi, thanks
[06:39] <aeon17x> robotgeek: It's hard to explain.
[06:39] <edy> haiii
[06:39] <lblue> My problem is that I have a bunch of vim stuff that uses F1 to do things
[06:39] <Chizn> sizzam, ok cool, how would i install it?
[06:39] <bimberi> sells: yw :)
[06:39] <aeon17x> robotgeek: Should I post a screenshot?
[06:39] <fr33mind> I'm on breezy.  First time I use Anjuta.  I try a Hello world app... and I can't "build": make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.  ???
[06:39] <robotgeek> aeon17x: screenshot ?
[06:39] <mustard5> shwag, will mozplugger make it play from external app?
[06:39] <edy> anybody home
[06:39] <lblue> maybe it's my shell launching help
[06:39] <azertyuuu> hey all, i installed the w32 codecses, but playing wmv-files with Kafeinne stilll failes.  Do i need  something else ?(mplayer maybe?)
[06:39] <BROKEN_LADDER> HrdwrBoB ? http://pastebin.com/411781 ??
[06:39] <dducko> http://membres.lycos.fr/sethnakht/
[06:39] <dducko> that one does
[06:39] <sizzam> Chizn, once you download it, go to that directory and   sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
[06:40] <lblue> I'll log out and in again
[06:40] <Chizn> right its done
[06:40] <Chizn> thank you
[06:40] <HrdwrBoB> BROKEN_LADDER: no idea.
[06:40] <thirso> azertyuuu: you could try with xine-ui
[06:41] <|sam|> does anyone know a good clipboard manager for gnome?
[06:41] <sells> bimberi, some of the sources listed are not deselected, is there a reason
[06:41] <sizzam> Chizn, you're welcome,   now, for example, i use it to launch xmms,   so my shortcut says  "alltray xmms &"
[06:41] <thirso> just apt-get it
[06:41] <shwag> mustard5, firefox seems to have a totem plugin...but it aint workn
[06:41] <aeon17x> robotgeek: The good news is that, well, it mounts, I could read from it, and I could burn stuff at it.
[06:41] <shwag> mustard5, codec error maybe
[06:41] <fr33mind>  error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
[06:41] <Chizn> ahhh, i see!
[06:41] <robotgeek> aeon17x: :)
[06:41] <aeon17x> robotgeek: The bad part is... this - http://img437.imageshack.us/img437/2129/screenshotcomputerfilebrowser0.png
[06:41] <Chizn> sounds really good, im using it to coop all my Bit Torrent Downloads out of the way
[06:41] <azertyuuu> thirso: where can i set that ?
[06:41] <mustard5> shwag, not too sure, never tried quicktime in firefox
[06:42] <aeon17x> robotgeek: I only have one CD/DVD drive >_>
[06:42] <shwag> mustard5, i cant get wmv working either
[06:42] <bimberi> sells: you probably don't need source repositories - unless you're compiling software
[06:42] <sells> bimberi, thanks again
[06:42] <dducko> shwag Try this extension for FF
[06:42] <dducko> https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=446
[06:42] <Mark> josh43: K.  rebooting x.. brb
[06:42] <sizzam> Chizn,  another idea to keep bit torrent downlaods out of the way is to use the desktop switcher in the lower right, keep all that stuff on a different desktop
[06:42] <thirso> thirso: type sudo apt-get install xine-ui in a terminal
[06:42] <thirso> lol
[06:42] <robotgeek> aeon17x: weird, can u check and see if that goes away after a reboot
[06:42] <thirso> azertyuuu: type sudo apt-get install xine-ui in a terminal
[06:42] <mustard5> shwag, my dialup connection keeps me away from those formats :)
[06:42] <thirso> azertyuuu: or use synaptic
[06:42] <|sam|> another way is to use azureus to download your files with
[06:43] <Chizn> oh yea, wow, i never thought of that, i thought it might still keep the icons where they were in the taskbar, but it didnt, lol
[06:43] <dducko> shwag, it allows you to play the streaming files outside of the Browser with your favorite player
[06:43] <robotgeek> Chizn: another idea is to use devilspie,
[06:43] <bimberi> sells: yw :)
[06:43] <shwag> dducko, cool
[06:43] <aeon17x> robotgeek: that means I'll lose my uptime record!... of 30 minutes. I'll see you in a while. :P
[06:43] <sizzam> Chizn, i'm still getting used to linux, so i always forget about the desktop switcher
[06:43] <shwag> dducko, im still getting failure on quicktime and wmv even when it is launched externally to totem
[06:43] <witless> does anyone know how to create a simple calculated column in an OOo2 Base query?  i simply want the values of a column with some text appended.  this fails:   select name + 'abc' as test_column from test_table;
[06:43] <Chizn> devilspie, what does that do?
[06:43] <dducko> oh.. thats not good...

[06:44] <Redactech> hello all, I'm looking for documentation to install ubuntu on an external HD that will become the HD of a laptop.. I can't boot from Floppy or CD and that's so far my only option.
[06:44] <|sam|> sizzam having multiple desktops is one of the best things about linux, when you get used to using them you will feel crippled without
[06:44] <robotgeek> Chizn: you can configure all terminals in desktop1, torrents to desktop 3 etc, based on window names
[06:44] <sizzam> Chizn, devilspie kinda picks up where Gnome leaves off, theres a good tutorial here  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75749&highlight=devilspie

[06:47] <Mark> sweet.  I got my logitech button to go back in firefox.  Now to get the tilt wheel to work
[06:48] <Dersursine> man, VMWare is a pain -.-
[06:48] <thirso> c/lear
[06:48] <sizzam> Dersursine, whats wrong?
[06:48] <Dersursine> meh, its not mounting my disk
[06:49] <aeon17x> robotgeek: it doesn't do it anymore.
[06:49] <aeon17x> robotgeek: Ubuntu is freaking me out.
[06:49] <lblue> I have set System -> Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts -> Desktop ->Launch help browser to disabled but F1 is still launching help. Is there a way to get f1 to not launch help?
[06:49] <aeon17x> robotgeek: Is this its way of telling me it's Halloween? =/
[06:50] <robotgeek> aeon17x: :(
[06:50] <mustard5> lblue, set it to ctrl+F1 maybe?  its a workaround :)
[06:51] <robotgeek> aeon17x: and are they all symlinked to your cd / dvd drive?
[06:51] <lblue> I actually set launch help browser to <Alt>p and not both <alt>p and F1 launch help
[06:51] <aeon17x> robotgeek: what's a symlink?
[06:51] <mustard5> lblue, heh well that would be annoying :D
[06:51] <robotgeek> aeon17x: as in when you doubelick those extra ones, what does it do?
[06:51] <aeon17x> robotgeek: nothing, it just says it's already mounted.
[06:52] <Dersursine> im getting an error "could not execute pmount" when I try to open the CD, any idea what could be causing it?
[06:52] <robotgeek> aeon17x: double-clicking it?
[06:52] <aeon17x> robotgeek: yeah.
[06:52] <mustard5> lblue, it worked on mine
[06:52] <Chizn> can linux read BIN archives?
[06:52] <lblue> should I delete .gnome2 or something? Do you think a config file of mine got messed up somehow?
[06:52] <Dersursine> nvm, permission denied
[06:52] <Chizn> and ISO's?
[06:52] <aeon17x> Chizn: yes.
[06:53] <robotgeek> aeon17x: weird. file a bug, with the screenshot linked
[06:53] <mustard5> lblue, hmmm..and then promptly started working again as when I pressed it the second time..interesting
[06:53] <Chizn> by default or do i need a program for it?
[06:53] <aeon17x> robotgeek: I'll see if I can reproduce it first.
[06:53] <sizzam> Chizn, if you doubleclick on an ISO, i think it opens in fileroller by default so you can view the contents
[06:54] <raghu> Chizn: it can by default
[06:54] <robotgeek> alrite, off to bed. later guys
[06:54] <Chizn> what about BIN archives?
[06:54] <sizzam> Chizn, otherwise, you can mount the iso,  http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#mountunmountisofileswithoutburning
[06:54] <aeon17x> see ya
[06:54] <raghu> Chizn: chmod it and run dude
[06:54] <lblue> mustard5, I think I get the same thing. It's seems to block one pressing of the F1 key
[06:54] <frank23> pah bah ben hann ha!
[06:54] <GhostFreeman> Ok kids
[06:54] <GhostFreeman> Someone wants to know what GNU/Linux is
[06:54] <alekz> GhostFreeman ?
[06:55] <mustard5> lblue, it works when I press it without an app in focus, but fails when i have an application in focus
[06:55] <tritium> frank23, what was that?
[06:55] <GhostFreeman> what's a good site to link him/her to just to get some presumptions on what Guhnoo/Leenucks is
[06:55] <sizzam> GhostFreeman:   http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu
[06:55] <Chizn> caaaan k3b burn bin/cue files?
[06:55] <lblue> my problem is that I have a bunch of vim stuff that uses F1 to do things
[06:55] <lblue> so my shell is always open
[06:55] <mustard5> lblue, actually its just being totally inconsistent
[06:55] <dducko> GhostFreeman, http://www.lowfatlinux.com/
[06:55] <lblue> yeah it really is
[06:55] <frank23> tritium: i'm not in any way a refererence. good night!

[07:02] <tritium> hadn't heard of it, sizzam
[07:03] <alekz> how can i configure my keyboard ?
[07:03] <Dersursine> ok, im getting an error talking about my kernel being compiled with gcc 3.4.5 and now my gcc version is 4.0.2
[07:03] <rellik> is it possible to put a soundcard and speakers on one computer, and have other computers use it by sharing the device with NFS or something like that?
[07:04] <Dersursine> then it says to either point it at the old version of gcc, or to recompile my kernel
[07:04] <Dersursine> so is recomiling my kernel a good idea, or am I asking for a world of trouble doing that?
[07:04] <sizzam> Dersursine,   sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4
[07:04] <Dersursine> lol, too easy
[07:04] <sizzam> Dersursine, then from a terminal  export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4
[07:04] <sizzam> Dersursine, then run your installer
[07:04] <iiiears> rellik - a media storage jukebox ?
[07:05] <rellik> iiiears, yup
[07:05] <Dersursine> ok, many thanks
[07:05] <tritium> Dersursine, if you don't absolutely need to recompile your kernel, don't bother
[07:05] <sizzam> Dersursine, no problem, have you checked the repositories first for whatever you're trying to install?
[07:05] <Dersursine> its vmware tools, i was just using the iso that came with it
[07:05] <sells> tritium: whats your email gain
[07:05] <sells> again
[07:05] <iiiears> sounds neat. - wonder if there is something on sourceforge or freshmeat if noone here has heard of something..
[07:05] <sizzam> Dersursine, ahhh, ok, i had to do those steps before installing vmware as well
[07:06] <BROKEN_LADDER> can anyone help me with installing the realtime lsm module?
[07:06] <sizzam> Dersursine, i recommend the vmware 5.5 beta, it works well and uses your vmware 5.0 key
[07:06] <ari_> can i get a winamp like software for ubuntu?
[07:06] <tritium> ari_, beep media player or xmms
[07:06] <Dersursine> ill look into that, its been a while since if used BT for anything tho.
[07:06] <tritium> you may like rhythmbox or muine better
[07:07] <shwag> Anyone know how to get Totem to play .wmv files?  Anyone been able to get that working ?

[07:07] <rellik> louiepage0124198, gaim
[07:07] <ari_> what are those?
[07:07] <tritium> louiepage0124198, the yahoo messenger client for linux (from yahoo.com) doesn't support voice, dude
[07:08] <louiepage0124198> oh really
[07:08] <mustard5> louiepage0124198, use gaim and go without voice
[07:08] <tritium> louiepage0124198, we already told you that there is currently no solution for voice

[07:18] <wickedpuppy> odie5533, what you typed ?
[07:18] <tritium> sells, see my query please
[07:18] <odie5533> "vimrc"
[07:18] <wickedpuppy> odie5533, vimrc is a config file
[07:19] <wickedpuppy> /etc/vim/vimrc
[07:19] <Dersursine> bleh, my client says "/msg Unknown command"
[07:19] <Dersursine> oh well
[07:19] <ari_> hey i got gnome as the default gui can i change it to kde?
[07:19] <tritium> yes, ari_
[07:19] <sells> tritium: cool,  got it, sent again
[07:19] <wickedpuppy> Dersursine, what you typed ?
[07:20] <wickedpuppy> don't show ya pass
[07:20] <tritium> ari_, sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[07:20] <rob_p> grodius:  What is your graphics adapter video chipset?
[07:20] <Dersursine> "/meg nickserv identify <pass>"
[07:20] <Dersursine> works fine when I type it in by hand
[07:20] <sizzam> Dersursine, what client are you using
[07:20] <ari_> didn't get u tritium!
[07:20] <Dersursine> chatzilla plugin for firefox
[07:21] <ari_> is that what i have to write in the shel?
[07:21] <sizzam> ahh, ok, not sure how to set that one up
[07:21] <tritium> ari_, that command will install kubuntu-desktop (which includes kde)
[07:21] <thoreauputic> ari_: yes
[07:21] <wickedpuppy> hmms ... i only know where you should place that line in xchat
[07:21] <odie5533> why is the command :q! used instead of :q to exit vim?
[07:21] <wickedpuppy> odie5533, you had changed
[07:22] <thoreauputic> odie5533: the ! is just emphasis (do it now and don't ask)
[07:22] <wickedpuppy> odie5533, vimtutor
[07:22] <odie5533> Do most vim users use the keypad or the hjkl to move around?
[07:22] <Dersursine> what package do I install to get the C header files installed?
[07:22] <ari_> okay now how do i change it , hey guys is gnome better or kde?
[07:22] <odie5533> wickedpuppy, I'm reading it atm, just wondering a few small things as I go ;)
[07:23] <wickedpuppy> odie5533, #vim :P very active place .. just dont mention emacs
[07:23] <odie5533> lol!
[07:23] <sizzam> Dersursine, did you do this one yet:   sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4
[07:23] <vbgunz> anybody here know what switches a brand installation of Breezy should have so to take advantage of the 686 kernel?
[07:23] <Dersursine> ya, thats done and working
[07:23] <Dersursine> did the export CC part too
[07:23] <sizzam> Dersursine, how about sudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:23] <thoreauputic> ari_:  matter of taste
[07:23] <Dersursine> did that as well
[07:23] <rellik> is there some command I have to run to set up x forwarding?  "ssh -x <host>" gives me an "Unable to open display"
[07:24] <thoreauputic> rellik: capital X
[07:24] <ari_> still as i am new to both of them , like which one is easy to customise?
[07:24] <thoreauputic> ssh -X
[07:24] <sizzam> Dersursine, thats all i recall having to do to get vmware 5.5 beta to install
[07:24] <vbgunz> anybody know the 686 kernel switch on a brand new installation?
[07:24] <mustard5> sizzam, I'm thinkg build-essential is missing
[07:24] <Dersursine> im trying to install the guest OS stuff inside ubuntu, vmware is install on XP :(
[07:25] <rellik> thoreauputic, thanks
[07:25] <sizzam> mustard5, he says he got that already
[07:25] <thoreauputic> rellik: no worries :)
[07:25] <vbgunz> Dersursine: you're trying to install vmware?
[07:25] <Dersursine> trying to setup vmware-tools inside the guest (ubuntu)
[07:25] <Dersursine> it wants the directory where the C header files are installed
[07:25] <wickedpuppy> Dersursine, /usr/include
[07:25] <vbgunz> Dersursine: oh
[07:25] <sizzam> Dersursine, does it give you a default value?
[07:25] <Dersursine> lemme try that
[07:25] <tritium> Dersursine, did you install a linux-headers package?
[07:25] <wmealing__> does ubuntu use/have udevinfo ?
[07:26] <Dersursine> ya, it gives /user/src/linux/include as the default
[07:26] <Dersursine> not yet, lemme install that one
[07:26] <wickedpuppy> that would be kernel headers ..
[07:26] <sizzam> ahh, yep, linux-headers is what you need
[07:26] <tritium> Dersursine, you want linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[07:26] <Dersursine> kk
[07:26] <sizzam> good call tritium
[07:26] <wmealing__> i'd like to see the output of udevinfo on a usb disk from ubuntu
[07:26] <vbgunz> anyone know the switch to installing a 686 kernel on a fresh install of Breezy?
[07:26] <tritium> sizzam, :)
[07:27] <wmealing__> the command i need irrun is udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sda1)
[07:27] <Dersursine> 70.1MB to install it... wow
[07:27] <wmealing__> replace sda / sda 1 with your usb device
[07:27] <tritium> Dersursine, which one?
[07:27] <thoreauputic> vbgunz: sudo apt-get install linux-image  and choose one for your architecture
[07:28] <thoreauputic> vbgunz: then repeat the command with the particular flavour
[07:28] <Dersursine> linux headers 2.6.12-9-386 (2.6.12-9.23)
[07:28] <vbgunz> thoreauputic: I am going to install a fresh copy of Breezy... Is that the command switch for the beginning of the installation?
[07:28] <iiiears> Yahoo  - voice -    chat client in development here. http://freshmeat.net/projects/pyvoicechat/?branch_id=42657&release_id=151146
[07:28] <thoreauputic> vbgunz: erm, no
[07:28] <tritium> Dersursine, o
[07:28] <tritium> k
[07:28] <thoreauputic> vbgunz: to beginthe installation you just hit <enter>
[07:28] <thoreauputic> vbgunz: there's only one available kernel
[07:29] <Dersursine> hmm, installing that didnt do it :(
[07:29] <vbgunz> thoreauputic: I think I have the apt-get synaptic thing covered... I wish to install 686 from scratch... The installation from disc does not pick up 686... it picks up 386
[07:29] <Dersursine> and it said /usr/include wasn't for the kernel
[07:29] <tritium> vbgunz, sudo apt-get install linux-686 would also bring in important dependencies
[07:29] <thoreauputic> vbgunz: see above
[07:29] <ari_> how do i check whether 3d acceleration is enabled or not?
[07:29] <thoreauputic> vbgunz: there isn't room for more than one default kernel on the CD
[07:29] <vbgunz> thoreauputic: so when first installing Breezy, there is no switch and no choice for the 686 kernel... I just install all by default and then once in download the 686 kernel?
[07:30] <tritium> Dersursine, use dpkg -L linux-headers-$(uname -r) to see where the files are located
[07:30] <thoreauputic> vbgunz: correct
[07:30] <Dersursine> ok
[07:30] <mustard5> iiiears, last release Feb 2004 :)
[07:30] <vbgunz> thoreauputic: ahh, ok :P
[07:30] <shwag> is there anyway to get sound with flash ?
[07:30] <NoUse> ari_ run glxinfo | grep direct
[07:31] <Dersursine> ah ha. got them
[07:31] <thoreauputic> vbgunz: if you need one that is - the default one works fine, but if you have more than 900NMB ram or smp etc you need the 686 kernel
[07:31] <wmealing__> ah, looks like my firewall, can you mail it ?
[07:31] <thoreauputic> * a 686 kernel
[07:31] <vbgunz> I have 1GB of ram... I need the 686?
[07:31] <thoreauputic> vbgunz: yes - 386 only sees about 900MB
[07:31] <sizzam> shwag:  this article fixed all my sound problems http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=44753&highlight=sound+multiple
[07:32] <grodius> Whats the windows emulator for linux?
[07:32] <vbgunz> thoreauputic: thanks man, I thought installing fresh I would have the option to go 686...
[07:32] <linkd> winex
[07:32] <wickedpuppy> wine
[07:32] <bird> hey
[07:32] <grodius> thanks
[07:32] <ari_> it says yes!
[07:32] <thoreauputic> vbgunz: space limitations - they keep it to one disc
[07:32] <vbgunz> grodius: wine is a compatability layer... not really an emulator
[07:32] <ari_> direct rendering
[07:32] <bird> i have trouble with the gaim plugin
[07:32] <bird> for xfire
[07:32] <grodius> compatability layor? vbgunz, explain.
[07:32] <bird> has anyone got it working
[07:32] <sizzam> vbgunz, i said that once and got called a troll ;-)
[07:33] <shwag> sizzam, thanks...but doesn't really address my issue.  I have sound working fine...its just something having to do with the flash plugin
[07:33] <vbgunz> sizzam: what? that wine is a compatibility layer?
[07:33] <vbgunz> it's on the official wine website, first page
[07:33] <Dersursine> haha, its working ^_^
[07:33] <sizzam> shwag, yep, i had sound working with flash, but there was like a one second delay until i ran through the steps in that article
[07:33] <thoreauputic> sizzam: Wine Is Not an Emulator - that's the origin of the acronym :)
[07:33] <mustard5> Dersursine, well done
[07:33] <sizzam> thoreauputic, vbgunz, yet
[07:33] <sizzam> yep*
[07:33] <thoreauputic> sizzam: so you were right ;)
[07:33] <grodius> I dont get it, whats a compatability layer?
[07:33] <Dersursine> you guys did the hard part
[07:33] <sizzam> thank you :-)
[07:33] <shwag> sizzam, all sound works perfect on my computer...just no sound by default in flash? does that sound right ?
[07:34] <ari_> okay guys i have one more problem at startup , first it takes a lot of time to configure network devices and that clock seting
[07:34] <tritium> Dersursine, worked out?  What did you have to do?  Change the path to the header files?
[07:34] <ari_> i use cntl+c to skip it but is there any permenat solution
[07:34] <Dersursine> had to get them installed, the symlinked the real path to the path it wanted
[07:34] <sizzam> shwag, you're welcome to find a different solution ;-)
[07:34] <Dersursine> it was like /usr/include/linux-some-really-really-really-long-path-with-lots-of-numbers/src
[07:34] <NoUse> ari_ do you use DHCP?
[07:35] <sizzam> shwag, that one was a pretty generic fix-all, at least in my scenario
[07:35] <ari_> well my network keeps on changing i am on a laptop
[07:35] <NoUse> ari_ so I'm guessing it takes a long time to configure when the cable isn't plugged in?
[07:36] <mustard5> shwag, I think you need to do  sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1
[07:36] <ari_> like my office network is different , my collge one is diff and home is diff
[07:36] <ari_> ya thats true
[07:36] <vbgunz> shwag: have you tried this for flash "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1"
[07:36] <pixelmonkey> anyone here know how to detect IP address conflicts on a machine with another machine on the same network?
[07:36] <vbgunz> mustard5: sorry :P
[07:36] <NoUse> ari_ check the ubuntu forums, you might find some answers there
[07:37] <ari_> okay no use
[07:37] <shwag> vbgunz,  uhh...can I get some more info on that. sounds kinda scarey.
[07:37] <mustard5> schwag, read this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[07:37] <mustard5> schwag, got down the page to flash section
[07:37] <mustard5> *go
[07:37] <vbgunz> I found it on Ubuntu forums and it just works :P... even mustard5 said it, its trust worthy ;)
[07:37] <shwag> vbgunz, i see
[07:37] <Dersursine> whats /etc/init.d/network called? it doesnt exist
[07:38] <thoreauputic> Dersursine: try tab completing it ;)
[07:38] <NoUse> Dersursine networking
[07:38] <Dersursine> lol, kk. ty
[07:39] <vbgunz> yup tab completing saved me here and there... anyone play Half-Life 2 lost coast? It sucks beyond comprehension... Dang!
[07:39] <thoreauputic> Dersursine: when in doubt, hit the tab key a few times ;)
[07:39] <Dersursine> lol
[07:39] <Dersursine> I thought that was ctrl-alt-del, tho that was for windows...
[07:39] <thoreauputic> Dersursine: example:  gnome- <tab> <tab>
[07:39] <thoreauputic> Dersursine: you'll see a bunch of commands that way
[07:40] <Dersursine> man, setting up all the guest BS for vmware is a pain
[07:40] <thoreauputic> tritium: do you want to see all 123,000,345 possibilities? (y/n)
[07:40] <tritium> heh

[07:45] <Dersursine> bleh, forget these shared folders, ill just FTP the dumb files
[07:46] <sizzam> kde apps generally work fine under gnome,   do gnome apps usually work under kde?
[07:46] <Coweater> yes
[07:46] <sizzam> kevor, Delvien, have you tried using cpufreqd on kde?
[07:47] <ari_> how do i choose kde as my xserver?
[07:47] <sizzam> oops,  kevor = k
[07:47] <tritium> ari_, did you already install kubuntu-desktop?
[07:47] <rixth> ari_, KDE is not an xserver
[07:47] <Delvien> sizzam yes, doesnt work, need to have the gnomepanel up to apply it
[07:47] <thoreauputic> ari_: you click "sesions" on thelogin screen
[07:47] <ari_> i mean the gui
[07:47] <thoreauputic> *sessions
[07:47] <ari_> then?
[07:47] <sizzam> ari - on the login screen there is a button for 'Session'
[07:48] <ari_> ya
[07:48] <thoreauputic> choose KDE, login
[07:48] <ari_> okay cool
[07:48] <ari_> i will try it out
[07:48] <ari_> whats an xserver exactly
[07:48] <thoreauputic> heh
[07:49] <thoreauputic> *brave
[07:49] <mustard5> thoreauputic, in less than five words ;)
[07:49] <icewt> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Windowing_System
[07:49] <iiiears> that bit that controls the video hardware and acts as a shim between the gui box drawing widget.
[07:49] <thoreauputic> mustard5: is that possible??
[07:49] <ari_> where can i find an ebook for ubuntu starters like me?
[07:49] <rixth> Hey guys, I am switching back to Windows (erm, yeah.... for Photoshop CS2 mainly) and I need to know if there is a way to make an EXT3 partition to fat32 without losing data. I don't think so but yeah.
[07:49] <mustard5> thoreauputic, should be challenging :)
[07:49] <thoreauputic> iiiears: that was a brve attempt...
[07:50] <Dersursine> what ftp server should I use?
[07:50] <rixth> If I could have CS2 on Linux, I'd be really happy.
[07:50] <ari_> okay means its the interface between my graphic card and the gui right
[07:50] <wickedpuppy> rixth, complain to sierra
[07:50] <sizzam> how about:   gnome is to x server  as  steering wheel is to car
[07:50] <wickedpuppy> i did it
[07:50] <Delvien> hmm why is "make" giving me a bash ???
[07:50] <thoreauputic> ari_: that's a pretty good summary
[07:50] <tritium> Dersursine, better to install openssh-server, and use sftp
[07:51] <rixth> wickedpuppy, Sierra? Do they own Adobe?
[07:51] <ari_> cool
[07:51] <Dersursine> bleh, how did I miss that
[07:51] <ari_> hey what all games can i play on linux?
[07:51] <wickedpuppy> rixth, adobe makes cs2 ?
[07:51] <Delvien> Ami missing a package todo a "make"?
[07:51] <wickedpuppy> isn't it counter strike 2 ?
[07:51] <wickedpuppy> or ps cs 2 ?
[07:51] <sizzam> Dersursine,  alternatively, i installed ssh, and then use scp for file transfers
[07:51] <tritium> computer science 2?
[07:52] <NoUse> ari_ anythign from Id softare, most Unreal titles and the rest you can probably find via google
[07:52] <ari_> okay
[07:52] <mustard5> Delvien, build-essential ?
[07:52] <rixth> wickedpuppy, ahh, yes, Photoshop CS2 :)
[07:52] <tritium> Dersursine, you can install ssh, since it just depends on openssh-server and openssh-client anyway
[07:53] <Delvien> mustard5 hmm didnt have build... thought that was one of the first things i installed : /
[07:53] <Dersursine> i did openssh-server
[07:53] <mustard5> Delvien, good luck :)
[07:53] <wickedpuppy> rixth, you can use crossover for photoshop ... cs i think not 2
[07:53] <shwag> what can I use to see how many bytes are going through my eth device ?
[07:54] <rixth> Hmm, toobad I bought CS2 :( I have 7, I think that might work
[07:54] <BeGu> shwag, I use gdesklet
[07:54] <Dersursine> hostname -i = 127.0.0.1 -. -
[07:55] <iiiears> ari_ - Ubuntu developers have assembled some "meta-packages" we can install other desktops with a single click . Gnome, (default Ubuntu   gnome-desktop) KDE (kubuntu-desktop) and XFCE4  (xbuntu-desktop)    - interested in others? take a look at http://www.freedesktop.org
[07:55] <mustard5> shwag, the rate or total number?
[07:55] <thoreauputic> iiiears: xubuntu-desktop  < < typo?
[07:55] <shwag> mustard5, rate
[07:56] <tritium> thoreauputic, xfce
[07:56] <mustard5> shwag, k..no idea about rate
[07:56] <iiiears> probably.. - erm - there is an XFCE4 option tho isn't there?
[07:56] <tritium> but gnome-desktop was a typo... (ubuntu-desktop)
[07:56] <thoreauputic> tritium: I know what it *is* - i just saw a typo
[07:56] <thoreauputic> (xbuntu-desktop)  <----
[07:56] <iiiears> thoreauputic, - good catch. - Thanks
[07:57] <tritium> the sharp eyes of thoreauputic!
[07:57] <arkais> hi

[08:00] <mustard5> Delvien, ask everyone..I may not know....paste you link to pastebin in here
[08:00] <tritium> !tell grodius about resolution
[08:00] <HiddenFly> how can i play midi files?
[08:01] <mustard5> HiddenFly, with timidity?
[08:01] <Delvien> Anyone help a guy out, trying to install knotebook but getting alot of errors http://pastebin.com/411820
[08:02] <mustard5> Delvien, I definitely have no idea :) Looks too scary :D
[08:02] <Parisi> lol
[08:02] <Coweater> Delvien: do you have the dev packages for kde/qt?
[08:02] <HiddenFly> mustard5: i tried that program but it wont work, it says "instrument not mapped"
[08:02] <Delvien> Coweater umm i dont know, what are the names?
[08:02] <tritium> Delvien, you need the right -dev packages.  apt-cache search libqt
[08:02] <Dersursine> :'( all this project stuff in kdevelop loses me, i just wanna compile this file and hope it includes the others the right way
[08:03] <cafuego> !info knotebook
[08:03] <mustard5> HiddenFly, hmmm there might be other recommended installs..check synaptic for recommended stuff?
[08:03] <sizzam> night all
[08:03] <Dersursine> night
[08:03] <rixth> Using FTP from the commandline, how can I grab a directory & all its contents?
[08:03] <HiddenFly> mustard5: theres nothing marked with the ubuntu logo
[08:03] <Delvien> tritium how do i tell which ones i need
[08:03] <cafuego> Delvien: And you *do* want to look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CheckInstall as well.
[08:03] <Delvien> tritium or do i just need to dl alll of the Dev files
[08:03] <mustard5> HiddenFly, select timidity, right click and look for recommended stuff in context menu I think
[08:03] <tritium> Delvien, depends on what the software you're compiling needs
[08:04] <Coweater> Delvien: can try apt-get build-dep knotebook
[08:04] <HiddenFly> mustard5: ok
[08:04] <tritium> Coweater, there is no knotebook package
[08:04] <mustard5> HiddenFly, I had it working once, but I am getting same error as you atm...
[08:04] <cafuego> Delvien: At a minimum, libqt-dev.
[08:04] <mustard5> HiddenFly, I havent bothered downloading all the stuff yet
[08:05] <tritium> Coweater, so there are no build-deps for it
[08:05] <HiddenFly> yep
[08:05] <cafuego> Delvien: Start compiling, see which files it says are missing, put those filenames in '/msg ubotu find <filename>' and see what packages provide it.
[08:05] <Delvien> cafuego no install ation candidate
[08:05] <HiddenFly> it recommends to install freepats, ill try that
[08:05] <mustard5> HiddenFly, yeah its a big download..and I'm on dialup so I am putting it off
[08:05] <cafuego> Delvien: No, use apt-cache search fto find the actual package.
[08:06] <tritium> Delvien, it needs to be one in your list (output from apt-cache search)
[08:06] <tritium> Delvien, perhaps libqt3-mt-dev
[08:06] <Dersursine> can anyone help me with my C++ stuff? in my driver file, I include the header file, and the header file includes the specification file?
[08:06] <HiddenFly> mustard5: oh ok
[08:06] <cafuego> Delvien: But all this *after* reading the CheckInstall wiki entry :-)
[08:07] <stupendo44> hey, guys. are there any linux tools to recover an ntfs drives fat?
[08:07] <mustard5> HiddenFly, it WAS working once though :)  Before I reinstalled and lost it..then promptly forgot how I got it working :D
[08:07] <cafuego> stupendo44: 99.8% no.
[08:07] <cafuego> stupendo44: Thed kernel can't write to NTFS, let alone recover ...
[08:08] <HiddenFly> mustard5: ok i got it working now
[08:08] <stupendo44> I tried to convert an ntfs drive to fat32 using gparted, and it didn't seem to work. it said it was done, but it only took a second. and now the drive appears blank.
[08:08] <mustard5> HiddenFly, well done :)
[08:08] <cafuego> s.kernel/free software/
[08:08] <timmytheturtle> can anyone help me install vlc?
[08:08] <Dersursine> did it format the drive?
[08:08] <stupendo44> I know the data's not gone, probably just the fat got overwritten
[08:08] <stupendo44> I don't think so. It was only a second and then it was done
[08:08] <Dersursine> beats me then :( ima n00bie here :(
[08:09] <cafuego> stupendo44: See if changing the partition code back to ntfs works..
[08:09] <stupendo44> how do I do that, cafuego
[08:09] <Delvien> cafuego i installed check install, but when i aut-apt run ./configure, it tells me bash auto-apt command not found, would i need a restart of X or reboot?
[08:09] <cafuego> stupendo44: ... then boot off an XP cd and run recovery.
[08:09] <tritium> Delvien, did you install auto-apt?
[08:10] <Delvien> tritium i just saw that lol
[08:10] <cafuego> Delvien: You'll need to install auto-apt then.
[08:10] <cafuego> (and build-essential if you haven't already).
[08:10] <Parisi> Back, and on Ubuntu
[08:10] <stupendo44> cafuego, how do I change the partition code?
[08:11] <cafuego> stupendo44: start fdisk, type 't'... follow the prompts.
[08:11] <stupendo44> ok
[08:11] <cafuego> stupendo44: It's going to help if you cross your fingers during all this.
[08:12] <_Dez> does ubuntu already have gcc and make?
[08:12] <paulproteus> _Dez: You must install the package build-essential; then it has them.
[08:12] <tritium> _Dez, yes, just not installed by default
[08:12] <cafuego> _Dez: Yes. What do you need them for?
[08:12] <_Dez> just wondering
[08:12] <ari_> what are the ways thru which i can tweak my mtu in tcp ip
[08:12] <_Dez> fixing to install ubuntu
[08:13] <_Dez> does ubuntu use XFree86 ?
[08:13] <tritium> no, X.org
[08:13] <cafuego> _Dez: No, Xorg.
[08:13] <Delvien> x.org
[08:13] <iiiears> gnome
[08:13] <_Dez> hrm
[08:13] <cafuego> Xorg 6.8, Gnome 2.12.2
[08:13] <_Dez> i dunno if it will work with my res then
[08:13] <tritium> _Dez, you don't want XFree86
[08:13] <timmytheturtle> can anyone help me install vlc?
[08:13] <cafuego> _Dez: What gfx card?
[08:13] <_Dez> im using a pos one
[08:13] <iiiears> xubuntu-desktop meta package is an avail.
[08:13] <_Dez> Toshiba 320ct
[08:13] <_Dez> uses Res 1024x600
[08:13] <cafuego> tritium: On some S3 cards you kinda do.
[08:14] <drcode> any one know how can I upgrade ubuntu 5.04 into 6.0 ?
[08:14] <tritium> cafuego, true enough
[08:14] <icewt> timmytheturtle: what's the problem with it?
[08:14] <drcode> is it automticly or I need to reinstall ubuntu again?
[08:14] <cafuego> _Dez: With an appropriate modeline (google) it'll probably be ok.
[08:14] <tritium> drcode, there is no 6.0 ;)  try 5.10
[08:14] <paulproteus> drcode: 5.10 is the name of the latest release.
[08:14] <paulproteus> !breezyupgrade
[08:14] <ubotu> rumour has it, breezyupgrade is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade
[08:14] <drcode> I can upgrad into 5.10 from 5.0.4?
[08:14] <cafuego> drcode: 3y3 g0t tah license k3y for ubuntu 6.04
[08:14] <cafuego> drcode: Yep, it's really easy.
[08:15] <drcode> how?
[08:15] <timmytheturtle> icewt: In apt-get says it can't find the package
[08:15] <tritium> drcode, scroll up
[08:15] <cafuego> drcode: Edit /etc/apt/sources.list - change all occurrences of 'hoary' into 'breezy'.
[08:15] <Dersursine> omg, g++ hates me
[08:15] <mustard5> drcode, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade
[08:15] <cafuego> In soviet russia, you hate g++  :-)
[08:15] <drcode> k
[08:15] <drcode> thans
[08:15] <drcode> x
[08:15] <cafuego> s/soviet russia/anywhere/
[08:15] <mustard5> drcode, and make sure ubuntu-desktop is still installed as a metapackage
[08:16] <cafuego> Why do they always quit before I'm done talking?
[08:16] <shwag> What is the best app to access the edonkey network with ?
[08:16] <_Dez> burning ubuntu..
[08:16] <mustard5> hehe
[08:16] <iiiears> cafuego - need a shower?
[08:16] <mustard5> cafuego, hopefully he reads the wiki :)
[08:16] <cafuego> shwag: amule prolly
[08:16] <Seveas> shwag, mldonkey
[08:17] <cafuego> iiiears: two, just finished trimming the hedge.
[08:17] <iiiears> narrowly avoids the flying carp
[08:17] <icewt> timmytheturtle: i guess you need to add some repositories then
[08:18] <cafuego> mustard5: hopefully... from online behaviour I'd expect a good 75% of Linux users to be functionally dyslexic.
[08:18] <mustard5> hehe
[08:18] <iiiears> too much excitement just can't wait to type something or install somethig in their shiny new linux computer.
[08:18] <shwag> I wish synaptic had like a popularity rating next to the packages.
[08:18] <timmytheturtle> icewt: i did exactly what was said to do on the vlc site under debien gnulinux and still don't work
[08:18] <cafuego> shwag: libc6 would win.
[08:19] <iiiears> the answer to one questio isn't that important there are twenty other things to try. - grin
[08:19] <benplaut> when i go to System>Prefences>Sound and uncheck 'Enable Sound Server Startup', it does "killall esd", right?
[08:19] <shwag> cafuego, oh, i should get that!  ;)
[08:19] <tritium> benplaut, no
[08:19] <cafuego> benplaut: Just check via 'ps'.
[08:19] <benplaut> k
[08:19] <cafuego> shwag: it's teh r0x0rz
[08:20] <iiiears> Take a look at DistroWatch Ubuntu is #1  !!
[08:20] <Dersursine> yup, thats why I tried it
[08:20] <mustard5> :)
[08:20] <tritium> iiiears, for months now ;)
[08:20] <Dersursine> tho I did try suse first
[08:20] <shwag> cafuego, did you used to use gentoo ?
[08:21] <mustard5> I tried it because they gave me a free disk and saved my downloading an ISO on dialup
[08:21] <Parisi> gentoo! yuck
[08:21] <iiiears> tritium - i hope it translates to dollars for canonical.- got a taste of ubuntu and now i am hooked.
[08:21] <Dersursine> took me 29 hours to DL the SUSE DVD :(
[08:21] <tritium> iiiears, :)
[08:22] <Dersursine> on BT too, it was nice to do Ubuntu CD on BT for like 1.5hrs
[08:22] <Parisi> I just went ahead and downloaed the Ubuntu DVD iso, because why not
[08:22] <cafuego> Dersursine: Great, 29 wasted hours ;-)
[08:22] <Dersursine> Theirs a DVD?
[08:22] <Dersursine> lol, ya
[08:22] <Parisi> Yes, there is, the Live/HD Install Combo.
[08:22] <iiiears> the DVD has two images live and install
[08:22] <Dersursine> SUSE has a nice control pannel that does HTTPD and stuff, but id rather have ubuntu that isnt slow and can install stuff for me
[08:22] <cafuego> shwag: I have used Gentoo for exactly 2 hours and 17 minutes back in 2003.
[08:23] <tritium> There's a DVD, Dersursine
[08:23] <Parisi> And because i only had blank dvd's anyways.
[08:23] <Dersursine> Sweet, ima have to DL that
[08:23] <Parisi> It works like a charm.
[08:23] <cafuego> Dersursine: You can add webmin to Ubuntu as well.
[08:23] <shwag> cafuego, oh, i thought i might have recognized your handle from #gentoo
[08:23] <mustard5> thoreauputic, hehhe..oh yeah man! I got a brand new version of yahoo from yahoo and it ummmm....aaawww..bummer no voice support :)
[08:23] <cafuego> shwag: I get hives when I see the word. I'd never be caught dead there.
[08:24] <Parisi> Theres always skype ! :0
[08:24] <shwag> cafuego, i used it for about 2 years
[08:24] <benplaut> what is artsd?
[08:24] <Dersursine> eww, i never use webmin anymore... on my "live" server I do everything over SSH, just manualy do the .conf files and stuff
[08:24] <thoreauputic> mustard5: oh geee... this linuckx suXXorZ LOLZ
[08:24] <mustard5> :D
[08:24] <iiiears> mustard - there is voice support added to gyach for yahoo you can find the project on sourceforge
[08:24] <cafuego> !info arts
[08:24] <ubotu> arts: (Analog Realtime Synthesizer (aRts) metapackage), section sound, is optional. Version: 1.4.3-0ubuntu1 (breezy), Packaged size: 4 kB, Installed size: 36 kB
[08:24] <tritium> benplaut, apt-cache show arts
[08:25] <mustard5> iiiears, I'm just being cynical and cruel ;)
[08:25] <Parisi> Anyone here on OSX ?
[08:25] <Dersursine> I wish :(
[08:25] <cafuego> Parisi: yes actually.
[08:25] <tritium> Parisi, on another machine, yes
[08:25] <benplaut> hrm
[08:25] <iiiears> oops, - missed another memo.. - ;)
[08:25] <benplaut> damnit
[08:25] <highvoltage> how does the bot get info on arts? does it consult dpkg? or has it been trained?
[08:25] <cafuego> s/m/k/
[08:25] <Dersursine> My next laptop is gonna be the 12" Power book, but thats a ways off ; ;
[08:25] <cafuego> highvoltage: It fetches the same package lists you get via 'apt-get update'.
[08:25] <Parisi> You guys be kind enough to send me the desktop wallpaper? I'v always liked that on my pb 12'' as well.
[08:25] <benplaut> i'm never going to figure out how to make this f*ing script
[08:26] <cafuego> Parisi: Which one?
[08:26] <Parisi> The default blue one.
[08:26] <aeon17x> How do you type the  symbol in Ubuntu?
[08:26] <Parisi> For OSX 10.4
[08:26] <cafuego> Ok, just a moment
[08:26] <Parisi> Awesome :)
[08:26] <Parisi> I wish i still my powerbook g4
[08:26] <aeon17x> I have to do it for a quite a number of names and such.
[08:26] <cafuego> aeon17x: compose-key - ~ - n
[08:26] <cafuego> aeon17x: set a compose key in the keybd prefs
[08:27] <iiiears> can you use the right alt+ascii#s?
[08:27] <ari_> hey how do i get write permission on my windows folder thru ubuntu
[08:27] <aeon17x> I can't get the alt combination right...
[08:27] <mustard5> ari_, ntfs?
[08:27] <cafuego> aeon17x: Set the compose key to right alt.
[08:27] <ari_> ya
[08:27] <cafuego> aeon17x: Then typer right-alt, ~, n
[08:27] <thoreauputic> ari_: if it's ntfs you don't
[08:27] <Parisi> ari_,  You would probally wanna find out what filesystem you have running on your win partition first.
[08:27] <aeon17x> Where's the keyboard prefs?
[08:28] <cafuego> aeon17x: In that order, not simultanousely.
[08:28] <thoreauputic> unless you like risks...
[08:28] <Parisi> ari_,  If it is NTFS thats a big NO NO
[08:28] <cafuego> aeon17x: System -> Prefs -> keyboard
[08:28] <Dersursine> Anyone live in CA, USA?
[08:28] <Parisi> ari_,  If it indeed fat/fat32 you wil be fine.
[08:28] <ari_> okay
[08:28] <Dersursine> I need to know how to vote on the 8th >.>
[08:28] <ari_> let me try
[08:28] <Parisi> Sorry, bad typos*
[08:28] <mustard5> ari_, you can set up a fat partition to swap stuff between ntfs and fat or use fat only
[08:29] <tritium> Dersursine, let's avoid politics here please.  There's #ubuntu-offtopic for that kind of thing.
[08:29] <mustard5> mustard5, that didnt come out the way I wanted it to :)
[08:29] <Dersursine> lol, kk
[08:29] <tritium> mustard5, feeling okay?
[08:29] <mustard5> trip, I'm feelin' groovy :)
[08:29] <Parisi> I am about to try Opera under Linux and compare it to Firefox.
[08:29] <cafuego> Parisi: ANy idea where on disk those pics live?
[08:29] <aeon17x> cafuego: Any way to do it with the left alt button and the numpad?
[08:29] <Parisi> Firefox is faster under XP
[08:30] <mustard5> doh..but my keys are not cooperating!
[08:30] <tritium> mustard5, I thought so, talking to yourself and all... ;)
[08:30] <ari_> how mustard?
[08:30] <Parisi> cafuego, Good question ?
[08:30] <ari_> wait brb
[08:31] <Parisi> cafuego,  Do you have Spotlight?
[08:31] <mustard5> ari_, basically you can't write to ntfs, but both linux and windows can read and write to fat, so if you want to move stuff between systems you have a seperate fat partition that you can plonk stuff in
[08:31] <tritium> cafuego, don't look directly at the light
[08:31] <Parisi> cafuego,  That will find it, trust me.
[08:31] <Ruudi> hi
[08:31] <cafuego> /Library/Desktop Pictures
[08:31] <benplaut> 'command1; command2' makes the second go after the first is done... how do i make them go at the same time?
[08:31] <Ruudi> does latest ubuntu live cd run on  iMAC G5?
[08:31] <Parisi> mustard5,  You can, but its experimental.
[08:31] <benplaut> Ruudi: probably
[08:31] <tritium> Ruudi, not currently
[08:31] <Parisi> cafuego,  Good to know.
[08:31] <cafuego> Ruudi: apparently not.
[08:31] <Ruudi> ah, but installation would go?
[08:31] <tritium> Ruudi, nope
[08:32] <Ruudi> hmm too bad
[08:32] <Dersursine> is there a C++ help channel?
[08:32] <Parisi> cafuego,  Have you found it ?
[08:32] <chris__> hello
[08:32] <Delvien> sudo -i to switch to super user right
[08:32] <tritium> yes, Delvien
[08:32] <tritium> well, effectively
[08:32] <Parisi> Whats the -i for?
[08:33] <cafuego> Parisi: Yep, scp'ing it to a public server...
[08:33] <chris__> I am trying to install Skype but apparently need to perform an RPM command - does anyone know where I can get the software to do this?
[08:33] <Parisi> cafuego,  Awesome :)
[08:33] <thoreauputic> Parisi: the -i gives you a root shell
[08:33] <iiiears> alien will handle rpm's i believe
[08:33] <tritium> Parisi, man sudo ;)  (simulates an initial login)
[08:33] <mustard5> chris__, there are easier ways
[08:33] <cafuego> Ruudi: Actually, it MIGHT run, but the cpu fan will run at full speed the whole time.
[08:34] <Parisi> I am just used to just doing "su"
[08:34] <thoreauputic> !skype
[08:34] <ubotu> I guess skype is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/SkypeHowto/ Breezy deb: http://seveas.ubuntulinux.nl
[08:34] <chris__> I am new to Linux.
[08:34] <icewt> chris__: there's skype for ubuntu http://seveas.ubuntulinux.nl//pool/breezy-extras/skype_1.2.0.18-1ubuntu0_i386.deb

[08:36] <Parisi> cafuego,  my new default wallpaper under Ubunty
[08:37] <nuck> how do i install .rpm file?
[08:37] <cafuego> thoreauputic: They managed to push out an incorrect route entry including ubotu's IP 2 weeks ago.
[08:37] <thoreauputic> tritium: I think Linux doesn't have drivers for the yoghurt containers at the ends
[08:37] <Seveas> nuck, rm -f filename.rpm
[08:37] <cafuego> Parisi: Enjoy :-)
[08:37] <Seveas> and search a .deb file
[08:37] <tritium> nuck, did you check first that a .deb does not exist?
[08:38] <Parisi> cafuego,  I already am.
[08:38] <tritium> thoreauputic, what about pringles cans?
[08:38] <mustard5> :)
[08:38] <nuck> yes i was trying to run an app and iget the ff error ./sdalogon: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[08:38] <nuck> thanks
[08:38] <thoreauputic> tritium: pringles? This is Oz, mate - what is pringles?
[08:38] <cafuego> not clever #1: cmd-Q when you need cmd-W.
[08:38] <tritium> mate?  I'm married, dude.  Sorry...
[08:39] <tritium> ;)
[08:39] <cafuego> thoreauputic: mate... they sell pringles at every coles!
[08:39] <thoreauputic> tritium: hahah
[08:39] <thoreauputic> cafuego: ah, i'm culturally deprived!
[08:39] <tritium> thoreauputic, heh :)
[08:39] <nuck> Seveas you want me to delete the file instead of install
[08:39] <cafuego> thoreauputic: Well, you won't find any culture at coles.
[08:39] <nuck> im not that dumb
[08:39] <cafuego> Except, again, near the Yyoghurt.
[08:40] <Delvien> i still cant get this thing installed, installed several DEV packages, and even followed the instructions by the guy who made it , word for word, and gettin TONS  of errors http://pastebin.com/411841, anyone have an idea, maybe you seveas
[08:40] <HrdwrBoB> cafuego: except in the yoghurt aisle
[08:40] <thoreauputic> cafuego: this is a true statement
[08:40] <HrdwrBoB> argh cafuego
[08:40] <thoreauputic> no flies on cafuego!
[08:40] <HrdwrBoB> Delvien: you're missing qt
[08:40] <HrdwrBoB> libqt-dev or similar
[08:41] <Delvien> HrdwrBoB i have that
[08:41] <cafuego> !find qt.h
[08:41] <Sianis> hi
[08:41] <mustard5> welcome Sianis
[08:41] <Sianis> how can I change a file char encoding from utf-8 to ISO-8859-2?
[08:41] <cafuego> libqt3-headers
[08:41] <aminiboy> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3856  but more wrong code.
[08:41] <HrdwrBoB> Delvien: well you're mossing core KDE dev libraries too
[08:42] <Delvien> what are those called?
[08:42] <davidleeroth> ubuntu rocks!I got my wireless nic to work today and I could not be happier
[08:42] <cafuego> Delvien: People on #kubuntu are more likely to know (they all use kde)
[08:42] <cafuego> (which is why we don't allow them on here ;-)
[08:42] <mustard5> davidleeroth, congrats
[08:42] <Sianis> well? nobody?
[08:42] <tritium> davidleeroth, Jump!
[08:42] <davidleeroth> Jump!
[08:43] <davidleeroth> Hello, hey you, who said that!?
[08:43] <Parisi> Hmm...
[08:43] <iiiears> lol@tririum ;)
[08:43] <aminiboy> how to do with E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[08:43] <tritium> :)
[08:43] <cafuego> aminiboy: Scroll up, look for the actual error message.
[08:44] <davidleeroth> i havent had so much luck with my printer, a Lexmark X5150
[08:44] <davidleeroth> :(
[08:44] <davidleeroth> no drivers
[08:44] <NsOmNiAc> anyone see when upgrading to Breezy Badger it changes the permissions of .ICEauthority ?
[08:44] <Sianis> how can I change a file char encoding from utf-8 to ISO-8859-2?
[08:44] <cafuego> NsOmNiAc: If so, just remove that file.
[08:44] <Redactech> hello all
[08:44] <NsOmNiAc> will it recreate the file ?
[08:44] <davidleeroth> breezy definetly has better security than hoary
[08:44] <iiiears> Sianis - are there any option sin open office?
[08:45] <cafuego> NsOmNiAc: Yep. You may need to log out anc back in...
[08:45] <NsOmNiAc> cafuego thanks
[08:45] <davidleeroth> in hoary it auto placed my regular user in /etc/sudoers
[08:45] <Sianis> i have too many file :)
[08:45] <davidleeroth> sudo vi
[08:45] <davidleeroth> :sh
[08:45] <NsOmNiAc> brb
[08:45] <davidleeroth> not good
[08:45] <aminiboy> cafuego what do u mean?
[08:45] <cafuego> davidleeroth: Yes. In Breezxy it auto-adds the admin group and plonks your user in that group.
[08:45] <Sianis> i thing ~400
[08:45] <cafuego> aminiboy: Scroll up in the terminal that shows that line and fine the actual error messaage.
[08:46] <cafuego> find
[08:46] <davidleeroth> i have a problem with a lexmark x5150...anyone else own this or a printer similar to it?
[08:46] <cafuego> davidleeroth: Why would you spawn a shell via 'sudo vi' unstead of just running 'sudo -i' ?
[08:46] <aminiboy> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3856
[08:46] <aminiboy> but more wrong code.
[08:47] <davidleeroth> cafuego, was a joke!!?!?
[08:47] <davidleeroth> lol
[08:47] <Parisi> Quick question, how do i install a .deb package! Its Ahead Nero
[08:47] <Seveas> sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
[08:47] <Parisi> Thank you.
[08:47] <davidleeroth> parisi, dpkg -i xxxx.deb
[08:47] <Seveas> aminiboy, try again with LOCALE=C
[08:47] <Parisi> I am used to rpm packages, bummer.
[08:47] <Seveas> this pastbin post is unreadable
[08:48] <cafuego> Indeed.
[08:48] <davidleeroth> use alien to convert other packages to deb's
[08:48] <Dersursine> is there anyplace I can get drivers for a lexmark x75 printer if the lexmark site doesnt have them?
[08:48] <cafuego> How did you manage to not have postfix installed anyway?
[08:48] <Parisi> I dont think i will ever need to touch rpm packages ever again, not that i want to anyways.
[08:48] <thoreauputic> Seveas: where did yo u get the wallpaper for your desktop that you posted the other day?
[08:48] <cafuego> Dersursine: Check linuxprinting.org to see if the printer is supported, and if so, how.
[08:48] <Dersursine> kk, ty
[08:49] <herrpoonstrikes> hi, can someone tewll me how to refesh gnome?
[08:49] <Seveas> thoreauputic, art.ubuntu.com
[08:49] <aminiboy> Seveas i don't know how to do.
[08:49] <thoreauputic> Seveas: aha - thanks :)
[08:49] <cafuego> aminiboy: I can't read that post.
[08:49] <Seveas> it really rockr ;)
[08:49] <Seveas> rocks even
[08:49] <davidleeroth> desursine, i have a x5150 and im havin the same prob :(
[08:50] <Seveas> cafuego, it's not dinner time yet, even in .au :)
[08:51] <Seveas> hmm, correction it is. Worldclock was stuck...
[08:51] <Dersursine> well, my printer is supported if you dont mind everything being red, and the text being unreadable, and the shapes / lines being all mangled
[08:51] <chris__> Hi
[08:51] <chris__> I'm trying to install skype.deb

[08:52] <chris__> Can anyone help me - please?
[08:52] <shawarma> chris__: How are you trying to install it?
[08:53] <chris__> just double-clicking on it - where it is downloaded
[08:53] <Seveas> chris__, sudo dpkg -i skype.deb
[08:53] <thoreauputic> chris__: try running  sudo dpkg -i <filename.deb>
[08:53] <chris__> (I am new to linux!)
[08:53] <davidleeroth> a am gonna my a new printer
[08:53] <chris__> Thanks - where do I run this from?
[08:53] <tritium> good night, folks
[08:53] <Seveas> chris__, from a terminal
[08:53] <Dersursine> night
[08:53] <chris__> Thanks
[08:53] <Seveas> if the thing is on your desktop: sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/skype.deb
[08:53] <aminiboy> how to do with my problem http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3856
[08:53] <iiiears> G'night tritium
[08:54] <Seveas> and if that errors out (it probably will), put the errors on the pastebin
[08:54] <NsOmNiAc> thanks for the tip whoever helped me
[08:54] <tritium> night, iiiears
[08:54] <thoreauputic> night tritium
[08:54] <Seveas> aminiboy, as I said: we need LOCALE=C output if that
[08:54] <aminiboy> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[08:54] <aminiboy> but i don't know how to do.
[08:54] <Seveas> export LOCALE=C
[08:55] <Seveas> and retry the command you used
[08:55] <aminiboy> i use opera,so i don't know how to.
[08:55] <ISOcrates> i cant get online with my laptop but i need the kernel-source for 2.6.12-powerpc.  where can i d/l it from?
[08:55] <Seveas> packages.ubuntu.com
[08:57] <ISOcrates> thanks
[08:58] <Parisi> Hmm, some of my fonts are really awkward looking, any suggestions?
[08:58] <Parisi> For instance when i run Nero Linux.
[08:58] <cafuego> Pick nicer fonts.
[08:58] <Parisi> I shouldnt have to :/
[08:58] <cafuego> Oh yeah, don't use gtk 1.x apps.
[08:58] <Parisi> Its fine under OSX/XP
[08:58] <cafuego> (they're oogly)
[08:58] <Parisi> Hehe.
[08:59] <herrpoonstrikes> hi can anyone tell me how i can see a list of processes from the terminal?
[08:59] <Seveas> ps aux
[08:59] <Seveas> or top
[08:59] <cafuego> herrpoonstrikes: 'ps x' or top.
[08:59] <Seveas> ^-- herrpoonstrikes
[08:59] <herrpoonstrikes> ahh thanks!
[08:59] <cafuego> herrpoonstrikes: top allows you to see a live listing, with columns you can sort.
[08:59] <herrpoonstrikes> right ok
[08:59] <ISOcrates> is the kernel-source this?  'linux-image-2.6.12-9-powerpc'?
[09:00] <cafuego> herrpoonstrikes: hit 'k' in top to kill a process.
[09:00] <herrpoonstrikes> k
[09:00] <herrpoonstrikes> :)
[09:00] <cafuego> ISOcrates: No, that's the compiled one.
[09:00] <herrpoonstrikes> hehe
[09:00] <thoreauputic> ISOcrates: no
[09:00] <cafuego> ISOcrates: apt-cache search 'linux-source'
[09:00] <thoreauputic> ISOcrates: you want linux-source I think
[09:00] <nuck> anyone here using kdevelop? you might know how to fix my prob http://pastebin.com/411850
[09:00] <topyli> ISOcrates: source is source, you won't find "PPC sources"
[09:00] <Parisi> Wow, Opera is fast.
[09:01] <Parisi> I have a favorite browser under Linux
[09:01] <wickedpuppy> let me guess ... links ?
[09:01] <wickedpuppy> or emacs w3 ?
[09:01] <herrpoonstrikes> is there a way i can stop gnome from running, say when im out at work and then just turn it back on again?
[09:01] <topyli> Parisi: i haven't found a browser i like on any platform
[09:01] <Parisi> NO!, Opera
[09:01] <BeGu> Firefox is good enough for me...
[09:01] <Parisi> For Windows i like Firefox.
[09:02] <Parisi> Since it does all i want and fast.
[09:02] <wickedpuppy> lynx is faster ...
[09:02] <BeGu> wickedpuppy, Parisi Wow, Opera is fast. :)
[09:02] <herrpoonstrikes> sort of like standby
[09:02] <Parisi> Firefox is awful under Linux tho.
[09:02] <herrpoonstrikes> but i still want to be able to ssh in from work etc.
[09:02] <BeGu> Parisi, why's that?
[09:02] <thoreauputic> Parisi: kazehakase is worth a try: it uses gecko but it feels faster than firefox
[09:02] <Dersursine> whats a better browser to use for linux?
[09:02] <Parisi> And it was worse under OSX
[09:02] <raghu> herrpoonstrikes: use lock screen
[09:02] <Parisi> Dersursine,  Opera!
[09:02] <ISOcrates> topyli: i'm having issues installing ndiswrapper on my powerbook ubuntu install.  i was reading that having the source might help.  are you saying that source doesn't exist for ppc?
[09:02] <herrpoonstrikes> ok
[09:02] <Dersursine> lies...
[09:02] <BeGu> Parisi, what's wrong with firefox in linux?
[09:03] <herrpoonstrikes> terminal command?
[09:03] <Parisi> Firefox is awesome too under Linux, just slow on my p4 1.7 with 256 ram
[09:03] <BeGu> ok
[09:03] <herrpoonstrikes> :P
[09:03] <cafuego> ISOcrates: ndiswrapper used windows drivers. They will never _ever_ work on PPC. Just stop.
[09:03] <MenZa`> I have no problems with firefox, neither on Windows, nor linux or OS X
[09:03] <Parisi> Its slugish, thats a fact, and t renders pages slow.
[09:03] <topyli> ISOcrates: there is one source package. all the images for different architectures are compiled from that. so no, there is no ppc source
[09:03] <raghu> herrpoonstrikes: no its under system tools
[09:03] <herrpoonstrikes> ok thanks :)
[09:04] <ISOcrates> cafuego: good point
[09:04] <cafuego> ISOcrates: If you want wireless, you need to either wait for the bcm43xx project to deliver a working driver OR buy a support USb wifi dingle.
[09:04] <ISOcrates> can i ever get my mn-720 wireless card to work on my powerbook then?
[09:04] <ISOcrates> i know my airport won't work yet
[09:05] <Parisi> ISOcrates, Why bother you have OSX :)
[09:05] <cafuego> ISOcrates: Not if there are no native Linux drivers, no.
[09:05] <cafuego> ISOcrates: A cheapie orinoco would work (but only at 11Mbit)
[09:05] <thoreauputic> Parisi: might seem odd, but some of us prefer to run linux on ppc :)
[09:05] <Parisi> Try opening yahoo.com with both Firefox and Opera and tell me what you think.
[09:05] <Parisi> There is no comparison.
[09:05] <cafuego> Parisi: Linux runs ever so slightly MUCH faster that Tiger on most Macs.
[09:05] <aminiboy> how to uninstall package from source?
[09:05] <thoreauputic> Parisi: in both cases I would say "yahoo sucks " ;-)
[09:06] <Parisi> cafuego, Probally.
[09:06] <ISOcrates> cafuego: is an orinoco a usb wireless device?
[09:06] <Parisi> cafuego, But i still like OSX better, wheter its slugish at times or not.
[09:06] <cafuego> Tiger just did poo with 512MB ram
[09:06] <Parisi> Its a resource hog, OSX that is.
[09:06] <ISOcrates> and for the record, i love os x.  i'm dual-booting :)
[09:07] <BeGu> I like windows... especially windows XP rocks
[09:07] <qsrv> hi
[09:07] <cafuego> ISOcrates: it can be. I have a pack of 5 here, they're pcmcia.
[09:07] <Parisi> I needed at least 768 ram to run Tiger confortably on my old pb12 1.33 mhz
[09:07] <wickedpuppy> billy@wicked1:~/download$ opera
[09:07] <wickedpuppy> Segmentation fault
[09:07] <wickedpuppy> heh
[09:07] <cafuego> ISOcrates: an orinoco is essentially what apple rebadged as airport (original)
[09:07] <wickedpuppy> segfault
[09:07] <thoreauputic> BeGu: ewww
[09:07] <iiiears> OSX - will seem svelte by vista standards. 256mb vid ram reccomended for the desktop.
[09:07] <BeGu> thoreauputic, sorry, wrong channel :D
[09:07] <Parisi> XP is ok if you do basic stuff, or of youre locked on it, as long as you know how to protect yourself.
[09:07] <ISOcrates> cafuego: can you tell me what i need to buy to get wireless working on my powerbook?
[09:07] <thoreauputic> :)
[09:07] <cafuego> iiiears: Well, no amount of vid ram will make a MS OS not suck ;-)
[09:08] <iiiears> true.
[09:08] <Parisi> XP is the gaming OS :)
[09:08] <iiiears> just don't connect M$ it to the wild wild web.
[09:08] <cafuego> ISOcrates: any 802.11b orinoco (prism2) pcmcia card should work just fine.
[09:08] <Parisi> iiiears, Why not? You dont like Bonzi?
[09:09] <iiiears> cwshredder or etc - lol
[09:09] <cafuego> ISOcrates: They're supported by the kernel and with minimum effort you can use a customised driver for them, so that kismet works too.
[09:09] <qsrv> I'm still struggling to make wpa_supplicant work on my thinkpad after hibernating or suspending. And I've found that the problem is that dhclient is not run, when I wake up. If I run it manually, all is well, I don't even have to unload the modules (ipw2200). What do I need to do to make dhclient run when I come back form suspending?
[09:09] <cafuego> ISOcrates: Is there a store near you that has a website?
[09:10] <ISOcrates> cafuego: yeah, best buy or circuit city
[09:10] <lexhider> is there anything I can install or setup so I can visit: http://www.apple.com/au/ipodnano/features.html ???
[09:12] <Madpilot> lexhider: Flash?
[09:12] <lexhider> I have flash.
[09:12] <herrpoonstrikes> hi again would someone be kind enough to take a look at this for me: http://www.aute74.dsl.pipex.com/error.txt
[09:12] <herrpoonstrikes> i was checking my logs a while back
[09:12] <herrpoonstrikes> and found that
[09:12] <cafuego> Madpilot: quicktime vr prolly
[09:13] <herrpoonstrikes> any ideas>
[09:13] <qsrv> do I need to add anything to /etc/default/ifupdown to make dhcp run when my wireless interface is up?
[09:14] <cafuego> ISOcrates: nothing that jumps out immediately...
[09:15] <shawarma> herrpoonstrikes: It happens all the time. Nothing in particular to worry too much about.
[09:15] <herrpoonstrikes> ahh ok
[09:15] <herrpoonstrikes> thats good to know
[09:15] <herrpoonstrikes> as far as i can see nothing happened
[09:16] <ISOcrates> cafuego, OK ...
[09:16] <herrpoonstrikes> but since ive set up firestarter but its a real resoruce hog
[09:16] <shawarma> herrpoonstrikes: You could consider if you actually need outside SSH access from the outside and if not, just close it. Otherwise just make sure that you're using sensible passwords all around.
[09:16] <herrpoonstrikes> yeh ive increased the entropy(!) of my pwds
[09:16] <herrpoonstrikes> and unforwarded the ports
[09:17] <herrpoonstrikes> thanks for your help :)
[09:17] <shawarma> herrpoonstrikes: Any time.
[09:17] <iiiears> cafuego - can i script an action to a key?  (F-12)   Is the key mapping a text/xml/pl  file?
[09:17] <shwag> i dont understand. if ubuntu is so easy for anyone in the community to contribute to, then why doesnt the newest release have the symbolic link installed already which makes the flash plugin for firefox have sound properly ?
[09:17] <davidleeroth> in gnome (breezy), the clock runs waaaaay too fast
[09:17] <topyli> herrpoonstrikes: firestarter doesn't take resources if you don't run the gui all the time (which you don't need to do)
[09:17] <davidleeroth> help plz!?
[09:17] <herrpoonstrikes> i think its more the memoery leakage simialr to azureus
[09:17] <thoreauputic> herrpoonstrikes: firestarter doesn't have to be running its GUI to work (it's just an iptables frontend)
[09:18] <Madpilot> davidleeroth: set up NTP - time synch - and it'll keep time
[09:18] <herrpoonstrikes> right...
[09:18] <herrpoonstrikes> i have it in the task bar
[09:18] <davidleeroth> Madpilot, i have but it keeps effing up
[09:18] <davidleeroth> what sucks is that everything screws up
[09:18] <thoreauputic> shwag: ? I installed the flash plugin from the site and it worked out of the box here....
[09:18] <cafuego> iiiears: Umm...
[09:18] <davidleeroth> the cursor blinks fast and animated gifs move so fast its ridiculous
[09:19] <Madpilot> davidleeroth: use "pool.ntp.org" as an NTP server
[09:19] <iiiears> alias a command to a key?
[09:19] <cafuego> iiiears: Probably. but how? :-)
[09:19] <iiiears> google is sending me all over. -  i love a mystery. ;)
[09:20] <nuck> guys this is my problem... am trying to install libtool which depends on libc6-dev.  now libc6-dev depends on a version of libc6 which is older than what i have.  i was thinking this shouldnt be a problem but synaptic is complaning?
[09:20] <davidleeroth> there is around 5 seconds per real second on this damn clock
[09:20] <davidleeroth> even when pool.ntp.org is used
[09:20] <shwag> thoreauputic, even the sound ?
[09:20] <thoreauputic> shwag: yes
[09:20] <Mabus06> !apache
[09:20] <ubotu> [apache]  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP or, for Ubuntu server information, http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/faq/installation-custom
[09:20] <cafuego> davidleeroth: Do you have cpu frequency scaling enabled?
[09:20] <thoreauputic> shwag: the only time the sound doesn't work is if you have another sound app running
[09:21] <davidleeroth> cafuego, how doi do this>
[09:21] <thoreauputic> shwag: becuse the flash thing uses oss
[09:21] <cafuego> davidleeroth: make 'powernowd' be not running.
[09:21] <thoreauputic> shwag: well, it hogs the sound device anyway
[09:21] <Madpilot> davidleeroth: OK, you've got odder problems than just time snych, I guess...
[09:22] <davidleeroth> powernow_k8   is running?
[09:22] <shwag> thoreauputic, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats#head-29ce85c5f75a6380ed26f1e828c343e54074d6e0
[09:22] <cafuego> davidleeroth: No, that's a module, not a process.
[09:22] <shwag> After flash is installed, if the sound is not working properly, try typing the following in a terminal:
[09:22] <shwag> sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1
[09:22] <thoreauputic> shwag: same issue with skype
[09:22] <davidleeroth> o you want a process
[09:22] <davidleeroth> ok
[09:22] <cafuego> davidleeroth: sudo /etc/init.d/powernowd stop
[09:22] <cafuego> See how it goes then, with keeping time.
[09:23] <shwag> thoreauputic, if they already know that the link needs to be created, why not just have it created rather then having the wiki tell me I need to create the link?
[09:23] <thoreauputic> shwag: "if"  <-- I guess I'm lucky
[09:23] <shwag> thoreauputic, well...i doubt the link would hurt anyone. still not any reason not to have it.
[09:23] <thoreauputic> shwag: there may be more to it than that - I'm not a sound expert but I remeber crimsun discussing this
[09:24] <davidleeroth> i stopped it.... still way to fast
[09:24] <iceman> I got a question, is there a way to prevent Specific Packets from being Sent over the Net ?
[09:24] <shwag> thoreauputic, well...its probably a problem with the flash plugin itself that causes it.
[09:24] <shwag> thoreauputic, would be interesting if there was a bug database where we could access information on this.
[09:24] <thoreauputic> shwag: quite likely
[09:24] <davidleeroth> cafuego,it doesnt work
[09:25] <thoreauputic> shwag: ah, but flash is non-free etc - same problem with skype :(
[09:26] <TheEdge> gday all
[09:26] <shwag> thoreauputic, yah, non free
[09:27] <TheEdge> I was wondering if some kind soul could help me with a wireless Belkin keyboard and mouse problem?
[09:27] <thoreauputic> shwag: here the symlink appears to point to libesd.so.0.2.36
[09:27] <thoreauputic>  (by default- breezy)
[09:27] <davidleeroth> cafuego,it doesnt work
[09:28] <iceman> Is there a way to prevent or block specific packets from being sent over the net ?
[09:28] <bob2> based on what?
[09:28] <TheEdge> iceman - a firewall can do that for you
[09:28] <davidleeroth> in gnome (breezy), the clock runs waaaaay too fast
[09:28] <davidleeroth> help plz!?
[09:28] <bob2> davidleeroth: amd64?
[09:29] <davidleeroth> amd64 running 32 bit ubuntu breezy
[09:29] <bob2> try the nohpt boot option
[09:29] <bob2> or whatever it is
[09:29] <shwag> whats the diff on totem and totem-xine ?
[09:29] <iceman> TheEdge I mean if i know that there is a Server based request for something, to then block that information
[09:29] <davidleeroth> noapt?
[09:29] <bob2> iceman: be less vague
[09:29] <thoreauputic> shwag: totem-xine actually works ;-)
[09:29] <bob2> iceman: you need to specify what you want to block based on
[09:29] <bob2> iceman: then it is almost certainly trivial
[09:30] <bob2> davidleeroth: it's to do with the "high performance timer" or whatever it's called
[09:30] <bob2> or so I gather from skimming lkml
[09:30] <thoreauputic> shwag: different engine - gstreamer-  totem   xine - totem-xine
[09:30] <shwag> thoreauputic, i have the totem-xine package installed.
[09:31] <iceman> the information would be based on information gathered from "ethereal" then a way to prevent the same info from being Drug out again based on a request from the server ...
[09:31] <thoreauputic> shwag: so do I :)
[09:31] <bob2> iceman: no, be less vague
[09:31] <thoreauputic> shwag: not working?
[09:31] <TheEdge> so anyone got any help for a wireless mouse and keyboard problem?
[09:31] <bob2> iceman: what specific factors do you want to block on?
[09:31] <bob2> iceman: packet contents? port? source address?
[09:31] <shwag> thoreauputic, not for a lot of wmv. i already installed the w32*.deb
[09:32] <iceman> specific content ...
[09:32] <bob2> then say that
[09:32] <thoreauputic> shwag: I installed every plugin I could lay hands on - seems to be working pretty well
[09:32] <thoreauputic> shwag: the wiki restricted formats page is quite helpful
[09:33] <shwag> thoreauputic, yah, ill check there again
[09:34] <iceman> bob2 i'll explain, was using winblos, and playing "Diablo II" on battle.net, I want to block battle.net from receiving not hack's, but specific information that there server request ... the information they can ask for is spelled out in there own EULA, and they go beyond that
[09:34] <Redactech> hello ! I need some help fixing MBRs/GRUB problem
[09:34] <davidleeroth> bob2, it didnt work :(
[09:34] <Hobbsee> Redactech: what do you want to know?
[09:34] <bob2> iceman: you need to recompile your kernel with ipt_string
[09:35] <Hobbsee> Redactech: do you need to reinstall grub?
[09:35] <bob2> iceman: which I guess is in iptables's patchomatic on netfilter.org
[09:35] <Redactech> I want to install grub on an external USB HD that will after go back in a laptop
[09:35] <megamind> hi . how do i edit .conf files from propmt . ?
[09:35] <davidleeroth> nano
[09:35] <davidleeroth> vi
[09:35] <davidleeroth> emacs
[09:35] <Hobbsee> !tell Redactech about reinstallgrub
[09:35] <bob2> Redactech: that probably won't work
[09:35] <iceman> Not looking to hack, cheat, just prevent them from asking for specific information...
[09:36] <Hobbsee> Redactech: check out that thread, and i think it tells you a few ways where you can change where grub is installed to
[09:36] <nuck> to check if a pkg is installed its apt-cache search. is there a command to check the version of an installed package? now thats a debian question right :-)
[09:36] <Madpilot> megamind: if it's owned by root, use "sudo nano foo.conf" - or just "nano foo.conf" if user owns it
[09:36] <Hobbsee> nuck: packagename --version
[09:36] <thoreauputic> megamind: nano is easiest if you aren't used to CLI
[09:36] <bob2> nuck: apt-cache policy blah
[09:36] <Redactech> checking
[09:36] <bob2> nuck: the *'d line is the one you have installed
[09:37] <megamind> yes thanks let me try plz
[09:37] <thoreauputic> megamind: ctrl-X to exit - it will ask if you want to write/save the file
[09:37] <davidleeroth> bob2, do you have any more clock solutions?
[09:38] <davidleeroth> Today is Prickle-Prickle, the 12nd day of The Aftermath in the YOLD 3171
[09:38] <bob2> davidleeroth: is nohpt really the option name?
[09:38] <davidleeroth> i thought it was noacpi?
[09:38] <iceman> bob2 Are there any linux Distro's that have netfilter installed ...
[09:38] <megamind> thanks it works fine
[09:38] <bob2> iceman: they all do
[09:38] <davidleeroth> i dont think that is correct bob2
[09:38] <boss85> salut kelkun peut il m'aider a telecharger Ennemy territory abec wget
[09:39] <bob2> iceman: what you're really asking is "Are there any distributions that have iptables patched with random external patches?", and I don't know
[09:39] <davidleeroth> nohpt only reveals 37 links on google
[09:39] <Redactech> salut boss85
[09:39] <boss85> slt Redactech
[09:39] <iceman> No orther way to tell the net that is packet is i on the way out. to block that packet ?
[09:40] <spiral> hi
[09:40] <davidleeroth> prickle-prickle
[09:40] <bob2> davidleeroth: you're right
[09:40] <davidleeroth> bob2, do you know anything else?
[09:40] <bob2> iceman: please try to use complete sentences, and no, it sounds like you really do need to filter basedon content
[09:40] <iceman> No way to tell the net that if packet "x" is requested, then block that specific packet ..
[09:41] <iceman> Yea would be a content filter ...
[09:41] <beb972> salut
[09:41] <Delvien> raphink you there?
[09:42] <megamind> where do i find the latest version of sources.list for apt ?
[09:42] <bob2> nuck: for a start, paste your /etc/apt/sources.list to #flood
[09:42] <bob2> megamind: they don't get updated like that
[09:42] <bob2> megamind: the one you installed with is fine
[09:42] <nuck> would it be catastrophic if i remove libc6?
[09:42] <bob2> yes
[09:42] <bob2> as in nothing would run
[09:42] <bob2> including ls and dpkg
[09:42] <davidleeroth> hah
[09:42] <davidleeroth> no ls!!!!>!>!?!?!!!?!
[09:43] <nuck> sh*t thank God i asked you on time
[09:43] <bob2> apt won't let you remove it
[09:43] <iceman> There anything thats available for a Content filter....
[09:43] <davidleeroth> bob2 it was fine when i had x86_64 ubuntu installed
[09:43] <thoreauputic> nuck: that's like "would it be catastrophic to remove the foundations of my house" ;)
[09:43] <bob2> without typing out "Yes I know this will fuck my system iretriveibly" or words to that effect
[09:43] <bob2> davidleeroth: that sounds even more like a kernel thing
[09:43] <bob2> nuck: 19:42:03           bob2 | nuck: for a start, paste your /etc/apt/sources.list to #flood
[09:43] <davidleeroth> its pssing me off
[09:44] <bob2> davidleeroth: maybe noapic/nolapic,acpi=off would fix it, I dunno
[09:44] <Delvien> HrdwrBoB you run KDE?
[09:44] <bob2> it certainly smells like HPT to my untrained eye
[09:44] <HrdwrBoB> Delvien: no
[09:44] <davidleeroth> let me check
[09:44] <Delvien> HrdwrBoB o ok :(
[09:44] <bob2> haha
[09:44] <thoreauputic> ;)
[09:45] <iceman> back in a few .;(
[09:45] <HrdwrBoB> Delvien: I personally dislike KDE, but I know about it
[09:45] <nuck> bob2 sources.list is now in #flood
[09:45] <Delvien> Hrdwrbob do you know how to get emifreq to work on KDE?
[09:46] <HrdwrBoB> no
[09:46] <bob2> nuck: and "apt-cache policy libc6"
[09:47] <bob2> nuck: aarnet has an ubuntu mirror, fwiw
[09:47] <bob2> nuck: linux.anu.edu.au might even have a free traffic one
[09:47] <nuck> bob2 apt-cache is there now in flood
[09:47] <bob2> hm, no, only cds
[09:48] <bob2> nuck: uh, so you did point apt at sid
[09:48] <bob2> nuck: don't do that
[09:48] <nuck> bob2 would you know how i could solve the backward dependency of libc6-dev to libc6
[09:49] <henk> i want to install mplayer-custom (that plays windows formats too) but it says it cannot find 'libavcodec2'  any ideas what i need to do to get that ?
[09:49] <bob2> henk: mplayer-386/686 play "windows formats" just fine
[09:49] <bob2> nuck: simpelst solution is to reinstall, and never do it again
[09:49] <nuck> am so hungry havent left my chair in 3 hours
[09:49] <bob2> nuck: depending on what you did while you had apt poitned at sid, it may be fixable
[09:50] <nuck> bob2 can you help me with a solution without having to reinstall i really couldnt afford to lose any more time
[09:50] <nuck> youve been a great help btw
[09:50] <nuck> everyone here have
[09:51] <bob2> nuck: when I say things like "depending on what you did while you had apt poitned at sid, it may be fixable", I'm hinting that you hsould tell us what you did
[09:51] <henk> bob2, hmm it crashes on asf on my box
[09:51] <bob2> reconstructing what you did has already wasted an hour of our time
[09:51] <bob2> if you'd told us an hour ago that you'd pointed apt at sid, you could be done by now
[09:51] <bob2> or yesterday
[09:51] <TheEdge> bibi all
[09:51] <nuck> all i know is that someone made me change my sources.list to the contents of http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969
[09:52] <nuck> bob2 all i know is that someone made me change my sources.list to the contents of http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969
[09:52] <thoreauputic> nuck: what have you installed/updated since?
[09:52] <nuck> bob2 the problem is i wasnt even aware i did that i have no idea what sid stands for i got a lot to learn about linux
[09:52] <bob2> nuck: that's not all that's happened
[09:53] <bob2> nuck: your version of libc6 is from debian, not ubuntu
[09:53] <nuck> many in the course of installing kdevelop package
[09:53] <bob2> nuck: why didn't you just install kdevelop from Debian?
[09:53] <bob2> er
[09:53] <bob2> ubuntu
[09:53] <bob2> nuck: anyway
[09:53] <nuck> that's what i did... i got the package from the package.debian
[09:53] <shwag> how do I find out which package a file on my computer belongs to ?
[09:53] <bob2> nuck: don't ever do that again
[09:54] <bob2> nuck: debian and ubuntu are not package compatible (in general)
[09:54] <bob2> nuck: open up /etc/apt/preferences in your editor of choice
[09:54] <bob2> shwag: dpkg -S filename
[09:55] <thoreauputic> shwag: dpkg -S filename
[09:55] <thoreauputic> bah bob2 was quicker as usual :)
[09:55] <nuck> bob2: i don't have the file preferences from /etc/apt
[09:55] <bob2> nuck: create it
[09:55] <nuck> k done
[09:56] <bob2> Package: *
[09:56] <bob2> Pin: release a=hoary
[09:56] <bob2> Pin-Priority: 1001
[09:56] <bob2> add those 3 lines to it
[09:56] <nuck> bob2 so my objective now is to replace libc6 (debian) i have installed with libc6 of ubuntu right?
[09:56] <bob2> then run 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'
[09:56] <bob2> nuck: right
[09:57] <nuck> ok its there
[09:57] <bob2> nuck: those lines mess with apt in a way that makes it prefer things in hoary over things from anywhere else
[09:58] <shawarma> nuck: Yes, and even to the point where taking stuff from Hoary would mean a downgrade.
[09:58] <bob2> then it should download some stuff and start reinstallingfrom hoary
[09:58] <nuck> bob2 k im running it
[09:58] <bob2> this may not work, not all packages survive downgrades
[09:58] <bob2> libc6 is one of the ones that tends to dislike it
[09:59] <nuck> am a bit slow cuz am copy pasting some of the conv here for future reference
[09:59] <bob2> good plan
[10:01] <nuck> bob2 no can do i realized its d/l ~70MB+ of apps and i got low internet quota than that so i aborted
[10:01] <bob2> point apt at aarnet then
[10:01] <bob2> does that still count for 1/4?
[10:02] <Parisi> bbl
[10:02] <nuck> bob2 point apt at aarnet thats in sources.list
[10:04] <bob2> nuck: is this a laptop?
[10:04] <nuck> no desktop
[10:04] <bob2> well
[10:04] <bob2> you're kinda boned then
[10:05] <bob2> maybe you could use an ubuntu cd for most of it
[10:05] <nuck> you were thinking of going to the library right?
[10:05] <SiegeCjj> Ubuntu?
[10:05] <bob2> yeah ;)
[10:05] <SiegeCjj> Let me tell you guys about Ubuntu
[10:05] <SiegeCjj> http://www.eaplay.com/australia/promotions/mostwanted/?entry_id=30890
[10:05] <bob2> do you have an ubuntu hoary cd?
[10:05] <nuck> cant even mount my cdrom mount: special device /dev/hdc does not exist
[10:06] <SiegeCjj> no wait
[10:06] <nuck> bob2 i do have it
[10:07] <bob2> nuck: put it in and run 'sudo apt-cdrom add'
[10:07] <nuck> bob2
[10:07] <BROKEN_LADDER> ack..i can't get realtime mod to install

[10:08] <drakeoutlaw> hello all, please advise: Will upgrading the standard 386 kernel image installed in breezy to 686 imrove performance?
[10:09] <bob2> drakeoutlaw: possibly
[10:09] <bob2> there's no downside to trying, tho
[10:09] <thoreauputic> drakeoutlaw: marginally, maybe
[10:09] <drakeoutlaw> have any of you tried it out?
[10:09] <thoreauputic> drakeoutlaw: if you have more than 900MB RAM it will see the last bit
[10:09] <nuck> bob2 same error. am not putting sudo cuz am already root
[10:10] <thoreauputic> ( 386 only sees ~900MB)
[10:10] <devnulljp> I have - can't say I've noticed a difference yet though...
[10:10] <echylo`> what is realtime mod?
[10:10] <bob2> nuck: did you inser the cd? did it get mounted?
[10:10] <bob2> oh yeah, -386 probably doesn't have HIGHMEM support, good point
[10:10] <nuck> yes i did everything right
[10:10] <thoreauputic> drakeoutlaw: I had the 686 kernel on hoary - can't say I noticed a diff
[10:10] <nuck> it didnt mount
[10:10] <devnulljp> Anyone have probs with USB hard drives on Breezy?
[10:11] <nuck> bob2 i pasted the outout in flood
[10:11] <bob2> nuck: well, mount it then
[10:11] <bob2> nuck: 'sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt'

[10:14] <nuck> bob2 am considering reinstalling ubuntu
[10:14] <nuck> bob2 can you tell me what i need to do so that i will get the following app installed when i do reinstall the whole OS?

[10:14] <bob2> nuck: I'm pretty sure I talked to you about this sort of thing months ago
[10:14] <nuck> bob2 which sort of thing?
[10:15] <bob2> nuck: read wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto, and enable universe
[10:15] <pluto> thoreauputic, any [options]  to go with the dpkg??
[10:15] <bob2> nuck: then install the kdevelop package with whatever packagemanement tool you like
[10:15] <bob2> nuck: I'd recommend stickign with synaptic for now
[10:15] <thoreauputic> pluto: just   sudo dpkg -i filename.deb

[10:17] <devnulljp> df ?
[10:18] <Boobek> hi
[10:18] <bob2> nuck: 'df -h' will show the sizes of mounted partitions
[10:18] <Madpilot> nuck: also, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicCommands
[10:19] <NutterUk> green-mouse, is says search for libqt3c102-mt in synaptic - but i cannot find it in there. any ideas?
[10:19] <devnulljp> Looking for a good howto for extenal usb drives -- don't have /dev/sd* because of udev
[10:19] <devnulljp> usb is working fine, but none of my drives (pen and bigger) are working
[10:19] <devnulljp> don't show up in lsusb
[10:20] <bob2> devnulljp: that's not udev's problem
[10:20] <devnulljp> Any ideas?
[10:20] <green-mouse> NutterUk: u on Breezy
[10:20] <bob2> if they don't show up in lsusb, then the kernel doesn't think they're physically plugged in to the system
[10:20] <devnulljp> Yes breezy
[10:20] <bob2> ie your hardware is fucked or USB is totally broken for your kernel
[10:20] <NutterUk> green-mouse, not sure - new to linux, how do i find out?
[10:20] <devnulljp> USB mouse & bluetooth adapter & printer all work fine
[10:20] <bob2> NutterUk: what version of ubuntu did you install?
[10:21] <devnulljp> breezy 5.10
[10:21] <bob2> devnulljp: are you using the same physical port?
[10:21] <devnulljp> drives all work with the dark side (win2k)
[10:21] <NutterUk> bob2,  not sure ill try and find it out
[10:21] <NutterUk> bob2,  Ubuntu 5.10
[10:21] <bob2> is that no?
[10:21] <devnulljp> bob2, 2 ports, tried both, same result
[10:21] <bob2> NutterUk: then you're using breezy
[10:21] <green-mouse> NutterUk: try this easier method - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Skype
[10:21] <NutterUk> ok thanks
[10:22] <bob2> devnulljp: you're absolutely sure lsusb doesn't show them?
[10:23] <devnulljp> bob2, Definitely - they just don't show up in lsusb - mouse & bluetooth do tho
[10:23] <NutterUk> green-mouse,  ill try that now thanks
[10:23] <green-mouse> NutterUk: no problem :)
[10:23] <bob2> devnulljp: I don't know how that could happen
[10:23] <bob2> devnulljp: I'd guess try various combinations of noapic, nolapic and acpi=off as kernel boot paramaters and see if it helps
[10:24] <boci^> hi
[10:24] <boci^> How can I install not UTF-8 locale?

[10:25] <BROKEN_LADDER> i thought it was tar xzf
[10:25] <Myrtti> BROKEN_LADDER: -xzf
[10:26] <boci^> bob2: 1. putty use 8859-2, if I ssh from remote machine I use 8859-2
[10:26] <BROKEN_LADDER> i'm doing that and it isn't working
[10:26] <bob2> BROKEN_LADDER: "isn't working"
[10:26] <bob2> =?
[10:26] <boci^> bob2: all other machines use 8859-2
[10:26] <v> mang enak nunggu!!!
[10:26] <bob2> devnulljp: if they show there, /var/log/syslog will show you what device they are
[10:26] <Myrtti> v: pleas
[10:26] <devnulljp> bob2, thnx
[10:26] <bob2> devnulljp: automounting depends on a whole stack of bits, tho
[10:27] <Maharrajan> hello everybody
[10:27] <devnulljp> bob2, not worried about automounting, just trying to get them online
[10:27] <boci^> bob2: so, how can I install?
[10:27] <Deiailis> BROKEN_LADDER, what happens when you try "tar -xvf filename"?
[10:27] <bob2> devnulljp: if they're not showing in lsusb, tho, something is deeply fucked
[10:27] <bob2> devnulljp: I assume you mean nothing at all is showing in there, aside from the known devices
[10:27] <devnulljp> bob2, my feeling too ...
[10:28] <devnulljp> bob2, yes - not a squeek apart form the mouse
[10:28] <vbgunz> hello everyone... I am trying to play this addictive game "frozen-bubble" *but* I have no sound in the game. So I checked the --help on it and it said how to point to a directory with sound tracks so i did it... I cannot enable sound like before but the CLI in the background states: can't initialize sound (reason: No available audio device).
[10:28] <NutterUk> green-mouse,  thanks got it up and running now
[10:28] <devnulljp> bob2, I see  new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address in syslo
[10:28] <bob2> vbgunz: "pkill esd" in a terminal, then run it
[10:29] <devnulljp> bob2, that's syslog
[10:29] <BROKEN_LADDER> Deiailis nevermind, it was working.  the output name was different.
[10:29] <vbgunz> bob2: ok
[10:29] <Mabus06> :s what do i set the group name to in the apache configuratin?
[10:29] <bob2> Mabus06: the default is fine
[10:30] <Deiailis> Broken_Ladder: alright :)
[10:30] <bob2> Mabus06: assuming you're using the ubuntu apache packages...
[10:30] <Mabus06> what is the default? i changed it
[10:30] <Mabus06> and it's a "bad name"
[10:30] <furic> I want to have my computer beep and flash and stuff, and put up a specific message on screen at a specific time, 7:30 mondays, repeating, how can i do something like that in gnome?
[10:30] <Mabus06> I thought it was the network name used at installation
[10:30] <vbgunz> bob2: that worked perfectly!
[10:30] <bob2> Mabus06: www-data
[10:30] <Mabus06> "ubuntu"
[10:30] <vbgunz> bob2: thank you, the wifey loves it too ;)
[10:30] <Mabus06> okay
[10:30] <Mabus06> ty bob2
[10:30] <bob2> Mabus06: you shouldn't need to touch apache2.conf at all
[10:31] <astro_9040> does ubuntu have the plugin moodin in it
[10:31] <Myrtti> awwwww
[10:31] <Myrtti> what a nick <3

[10:34] <NutterUk> is it possible to have both KDE and gnome on ubuntu
[10:34] <NutterUk> ?
[10:34] <Myrtti> yes, of course
[10:34] <devnulljp> yes - install the kubuntu
[10:34] <Myrtti> if you only have enough disk space to install both
[10:34] <devnulljp> I have both gnome & kde
[10:34] <NutterUk> Myrtti, how do I go about installing KDE?
[10:34] <Myrtti> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[10:34] <Myrtti> that's about it.
[10:35] <NutterUk> Myrtti,  then when i login i select the desktop i want?
[10:35] <Myrtti> yup
[10:35] <NutterUk> Myrtti,  thanks ill give it a go now
[10:35] <Myrtti> np
[10:35] <devnulljp> apt-get install kubuntu-base
[10:35] <Mabus06> bob2, I saved a file named index.html in my /var/www folder
[10:36] <bob2> Mabus06: that's finr
[10:36] <pvh> My Sony Vaio won't go to sleep when I push the Fn-Suspend combination. But when I use "/etc/acpi/sleep.sh force" it works just fine. I don't know enough to figure out why the "force" is needed. Can anyone help me?
[10:36] <devnulljp> ..or do it from synaptic - search for kubuntu
[10:36] <Mabus06> bob2, but typing myip/index.html yields nothing
[10:36] <Boobek> Help me!! my ubuntu has crashed! and I see on tty7 "syslog: /dev/xconsol not found"
[10:36] <NutterUk> devnulljp, just doing it now from the terminal and it seems to be downloading it now
[10:37] <bob2> Mabus06: "nothing"?
[10:37] <bob2> pvh: filing a bug is the simplest solution
[10:37] <CaiN_SA> elo bo
[10:37] <CaiN_SA> *bob2
[10:37] <devnulljp> NutterUk, worked fine for me - reset my splash screen from ubuntu to kubuntu
[10:37] <bob2> pvh: I doubt anyone here has the time/knowledge to sort it out for you
[10:38] <Mabus06> bob2, it is not finding the site, will probably time out
[10:38] <Myrtti> or do a keyboard shortcut to the .sh
[10:38] <NutterUk> devnulljp, So if i want KDE i change the Splash to kubuntu? Which desktop do you prefer?
[10:38] <Mabus06> bob2, the file contains solely: <html>Oh damn, I got it working</html>
[10:38] <devnulljp> NutterUk, I use gnome mostly these days. But I like some kde apps...
[10:39] <bob2> Mabus06: then apache is broken
[10:39] <NutterUk> devnulljp, is there any other desktops available?
[10:39] <bob2> Mabus06: or you're being firewalled
[10:39] <bob2> Mabus06: etc
[10:39] <bob2> Mabus06: start elimination options
[10:39] <devnulljp> NutterUk, lots...
[10:39] <astro_9040> does anyone know  about moodin the plugin for firefox or actually netscape because im having trouble w/ my splash screen and a plugin called moodin
[10:39] <X-Wes> pvh: I just tried the Fn-Key combination for sleep on my laptop (Compaq), nothing happens
[10:39] <NutterUk> devnulljp, Oh i only thought there was 2
[10:40] <ewz> hi
[10:40] <Mabus06> apache is broken? i just installed it?
[10:40] <bob2> Mabus06: uh, no
[10:40] <X-Wes> pvh: I assume it's just something that doesn't work yet; sorry about that
[10:40] <bob2> Mabus06: you "jst installed it", then messed up it's config file
[10:40] <bob2> Mabus06: did you start it yet?
[10:40] <Mabus06> and unless firewalls are default on ubuntu I don't have one
[10:40] <Mabus06> yes
[10:40] <pvh> bob2: I will do. Thanks.
[10:40] <bob2> Mabus06: tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log
[10:40] <Mabus06> okay, what is the default user name?
[10:41] <bob2> Mabus06: ok, simpler
[10:41] <devnulljp> NutterUk, http://xwinman.org/
[10:41] <wijnand> when I boot, ubuntu always tries to activate the wireless nic and not the wired nic, even though I change this manually and keep the setting like that when I reboot. I have no locations setup. Can anyone tell me how I can change the default behavior?
[10:41] <NutterUk> devnulljp,  thanks ill look at that now
[10:41] <devnulljp> NutterUk, still I'm liking gnome
[10:42] <Mabus06> To paraphrase without flooding, bob2, typing what you told me to gave a lot of "duplicate name" errors.
[10:42] <bob2> Mabus06: sudo dpkg -P --force-depends apache2 ; sudo apt-get install apache2
[10:42] <bob2> wijnand: fix /etc/network/interfaces
[10:42] <bob2> wijnand: auto foo = bring foo up on boot
[10:42] <pvh> bob2: Well, if anyone else asks, a little more persistance found that I just had to remove a commented out line in /etc/default/acpi-support
[10:42] <bob2> pvh: ah
[10:42] <NutterUk> devnulljp,  yeah I do like gnome. New to linux IO find it difficult to use when Ive been using Windows for years
[10:42] <Myrtti> cool
[10:43] <Myrtti> erm
[10:43] <cusco> hi... only on breezy, when I reboot the pc doesn't actually shuts down
[10:43] <Myrtti> what's so different between gnome and windows gui's that you find it difficult
[10:43] <bob2> cusco: and the machine is older than 2001?
[10:43] <cusco> the system goes down but the pc stays on with a black screen
[10:43] <cusco> er bob2 no
[10:44] <cusco> then I have to presso the button
[10:44] <bob2> cusco: how old is it?
[10:44] <NutterUk> What are Window managers?
[10:45] <cusco> bob2: I bought it in 2003 it might be older tho
[10:45] <Mabus06> did what you said, bob2
[10:45] <Mabus06> bob2, still times out
[10:45] <cusco> its a toshiba laptop satellite A40-151
[10:46] <ompaul> cusco, cat /proc/cpuinfo  | grep model\ name  << do that
[10:46] <bob2> Mabus06: sudo dpkg -P apache2-common ; sudo apt-get install apache2-common
[10:46] <cusco> ompaul: model name      : Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.60GHz
[10:46] <bob2> Mabus06: second law of unix admin: backup config files before changing them
[10:47] <wijnand> bob2: thanks
[10:47] <blrich> can anyone tell me if i can get daapd working on breezy/hoary?
[10:48] <cusco> bob2: what is the first then?
[10:48] <cusco> lol
[10:48] <Mabus06> still a no-go, bob2
[10:48] <bob2> Mabus06: where have you put your error.log?
[10:48] <Myrtti> #1 never ever do nothing else with root account than installing
[10:49] <bob2> but seriously, don't edit config files in non-sensical ways because a wiki told you to
[10:49] <Mabus06> I didn't "put" it anywhere, bob2. Wherever it is by default.
[10:49] <wijnand> bob2: what about the wiki entry to upgrade to breezy?
[10:49] <Delvien> Can anyone link me the wiki on checkinstall , cant google the damn thing for some reason
[10:50] <bob2> Mabus06: I mean, you need to show it to us
[10:50] <bob2> wijnand: /topic
[10:50] <wijnand> bob2: i meant: can we blindly follow that one :)
[10:50] <bob2> haha
[10:50] <green-mouse> Myrtti: No 1# IF this work - don`t  touch this!
[10:50] <bob2> looks ok
[10:52] <Delvien> Can anyone link me the wiki on checkinstall , cant google the damn thing for some reason
[10:52] <Mabus06> bob2, http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3857
[10:53] <bob2> Mabus06: that's a warning, not an error (ie it's not fatal)
[10:53] <bimberi> Delvien: /msg ubotu checkinstall    :)
[10:54] <bob2> Mabus06: do you have the php4-mysql package installed?
[10:54] <cooly_> Hi Folks... can somebody help me with samba?
[10:54] <Mabus06> I think so, unless the wiki was incorrect
[10:54] <BROKEN_LADDER> finally it worked
[10:54] <BROKEN_LADDER> yay
[10:54] <StarKruzr> bob2: making that initrd failed
[10:54] <StarKruzr> <-- jtd
[10:54] <orbishek> new to linux ,where do you download free modem drivers for conexant hsf vendor#127a device#1025
[10:55] <StarKruzr> can I still try compiling support for ext3 and the hd controller into the kernel?
[10:55] <green-mouse> cooly_: what u need?
[10:55] <Gourami> Question, I can resolve all web sites outside of the network but to connect to any internal website I have to use the IP address ? any ideas ?
[10:55] <bob2> yes
[10:55] <StarKruzr> okay.
[10:56] <adam_r> why if i follow the apache tutorial on the ubuntu wiki it doesnt work
[10:56] <green-mouse> Gourami: u have route problem...
[10:56] <Gourami> green-mouse and that means ?
[10:56] <Mabus06> lol @ adam_r .... listen to bob2, I have the same problem and he is trying to help
[10:56] <bob2> Mabus06: apache should serve files fine for you
[10:57] <bob2> Mabus06: if it's not, I'd be staring at your network
[10:57] <bob2> adam_r: too vague
[10:57] <Mabus06> bob2, adam_r has the same problem
[10:57] <green-mouse> Gourami: u need to add getway to u internal network
[10:57] <BROKEN_LADDER> whenever i boot, the notification icon for qjackctl is on the screen, not in the notification area.  how can i fix this?
[10:57] <adam_r> at the moment when i go to localhost it attemts to download a phtml file instead of showing whatever it should
[10:57] <BROKEN_LADDER> dcom
[10:57] <bob2> Mabus06: no, that's not the same problem
[10:58] <bob2> adam_r: install libapache2-mod-php4
[10:58] <adam_r> k
[10:58] <Mabus06> bob2, all I did was do what the wiki said for apache, too
[10:59] <orbishek> can anybody help please
[10:59] <bob2> Mabus06: no, you followed an optional and entirely unexplained part
[10:59] <Mabus06> bob2, but I effectively undid that, no?
[11:00] <green-mouse> Gourami: route add -net Target gw you_gate_way
[11:00] <bob2> Mabus06: I don't know, I haven't seen your apache2.conf (but you said you did, yes)
[11:00] <StarKruzr> orbishek: what did you find when you googled for that modem?
[11:00] <rob_p> Gourami:  Sounds like a DNS issue to me.  Does your internal network segment have a zone in your DNS server?
[11:00] <bob2> Mabus06: you said apache wasn't working at all, tho, not that apache was trying to server php files
[11:00] <StarKruzr> try googling for "conexant linmodem"
[11:00] <StarKruzr> or look at the actual chipset on the modem and find out what that is.
[11:00] <StarKruzr> modems are annoying, unfortunately.
[11:01] <Mabus06> bob2, I am trying to just load html files for now.. and I rechecked apache2.conf and it still has the changed name
[11:01] <Mabus06> bob2, what is the default?
[11:01] <orbishek> starkruz ,i just found the links to linuxant and linmodems.org ,i could not understand the instruction
[11:01] <StarKruzr> did you download and run scanmodem?
[11:02] <orbishek> StarKruzr ,yup i did it ,what's next
[11:03] <adam_r> it was easyer for me to set up apache, mysql, php and perl in windows
[11:03] <StarKruzr> also, have you been here?  http://www.linuxant.com/company/
[11:03] <adam_r> shouldnt it be easyer in its native enviroment
[11:03] <Gourami> green-mouse so gateway in system->network is not sufficient ?
[11:04] <orbishek> StarKruzr ,but we've gotta pay for drivers in linuxant.com
[11:04] <nietszche> hello
[11:04] <StarKruzr> orbishek: you need to drill down a few more layers of exploring what you need to do before coming in here and expecting someone to be able to give you a handheld tour of how to get your modem running.  it's highly unlikely anyone active in here who knows what they're doing is running on dialup.
[11:04] <nietszche> how do we upgrade from hoary to breezy over the internet???
[11:04] <adam_r> dialup is for my grandma
[11:04] <adam_r> and even she wants adsl
[11:05] <StarKruzr> nietszche: breezy was blown up by aliens last night.  sorry.
[11:05] <nietszche> what do you mean???
[11:05] <Myrtti> poor badger
[11:05] <StarKruzr> poor chunky, well-done badger
[11:05] <Myrtti> I bet it stinks
[11:05] <green-mouse> Gourami: this must be sufficient, what hapen whan u try to ping internal server?
[11:06] <bimberi> nietszche: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade ( StarKruzr ... ?)
[11:06] <Gourami> green-mouse pings works fine and I can http to IP
[11:06] <rob_p> Gourami:  Can you reach the internal hosts via their IP addresses?  If so, it's NOT a routing issue.  Again, I think DNS is where you should be looking...
[11:06] <StarKruzr> wow
[11:06] <StarKruzr> orbishek: on further investigation, you may be shit outta luck
[11:06] <StarKruzr> bimberi: I'm tired, and he didn't even bother to google
[11:07] <Gourami> green-mouse the DNS is a 2003 SBS server
[11:07] <marsh> hi gentlemen (and ladies; of course)
[11:07] <Myrtti> thanks for the latter part
[11:07] <Myrtti> <3
[11:07] <nietszche> hey, i edited my sources.list and change all hoary to breezy..and now, my synaptic is downloading...
[11:07] <adam_r> now apache isnt working at all
[11:07] <Gourami> green-mouse which works for the windows machines of course
[11:07] <orbishek> i jst wanna know a site for driver downloads
[11:07] <adam_r> i hate this shit
[11:07] <marsh> I'm after finding out if it's just me, or whether anyone else has the same problem with musicplayers...
[11:07] <StarKruzr> orbishek: there isn't one, it isn't that simple
[11:08] <StarKruzr> http://start.at/modem you can try this, or you can go out and get a modem that explicitly supports linux
[11:08] <Myrtti> marsh: the problem being...
[11:08] <marsh> does anyone have problems with Rhythmbox not finding all of there mp3s?
[11:08] <Welly> Hi all.. got a problem with my 5.10 installation! it installed fine, it boots up and lets me get to the login screen. i enter my username and password, few seconds later it completely locks up
[11:08] <green-mouse> Gourami: rob_p right this is DNS  issue...
[11:08] <marsh> Myrtti, -was geting there... dont wanna be putting in lines too long.. ;)
[11:08] <orbishek> yeah ,that's what i found out,but i'm not givin up
[11:08] <green-mouse> Gourami: what write in /etc/resolv.conf?
[11:08] <bluefrog-10> marsh, who is owner of those mp3, what r the permissions on them...
[11:09] <Gourami> green-mouse checking
[11:09] <marsh> have started using JUK more recently - a much better result, but it hangs quite often
[11:09] <Mabus06> what is the default user name in apache2.conf? bob2? anyone?
[11:09] <nietszche> what do you mean blown up aliens ????
[11:09] <marsh> bluefrog-10, they're all mine, and they're all 777 at the moment...
[11:10] <bluefrog-10> nietszche, breezy's been naughty, the grinch came for him..
[11:10] <marsh> bluefrog-10, 's bin like that for a while though - and was like it with redhat too :|
[11:10] <marsh> I should asy that I do have rather a lot of mp3's (15000+)
[11:10] <nietszche> what do you mean, grinch??? i am downloading it now..it seems running....
[11:10] <bluefrog-10> marsh, can u play those which r not found?
[11:10] <green-mouse> rob_p: u can help to Gourami? I need to run...
[11:11] <marsh> bluefrog-10, yeah, I can - sometimes...
[11:11] <rob_p> Gourami:  You need to check the zones on your DNS server and see if one of them defines your local network segment (and has entries for each host).
[11:11] <marsh> bluefrog-10, no error messages, just non aknowledgement of them
[11:11] <Gourami> green-mouse domain ZATRM
[11:11] <bluefrog-10> marsh, when u click on them, you either can or cannot..
[11:11] <marsh> ie: they dont appear
[11:11] <adam_r> adam_r,  is a looser
[11:11] <Welly> Anyone know what my locking up problem might be??
[11:11] <marsh> bluefrog-10, rhythmbox doesn't aknowledge their existence
[11:12] <marsh> I can, however, bring them up using the command line
[11:12] <Gourami> rob_p It works for windows but not for any of the linux machines
[11:12] <bluefrog-10> marsh, forget rythm, go to the folder where they r and play them, does that work
[11:12] <nietszche> can we upgrade to the latest breezy????? please advice
[11:13] <marsh> bluefrog-10, I can play them all in JUK
[11:13] <marsh> and in XMMS
[11:13] <Gourami> rob_p so it would seem theres something I need to change on the ubuntu machines
[11:13] <bluefrog-10> marsh, stick with juk then
[11:13] <nietszche> CAN WE upgrade to breezy??????
[11:13] <marsh> bluefrog-10, it hangs... A Lot
[11:13] <Mabus06> anybody know the default user for apache2.conf?
[11:13] <bluefrog-10> marsh, try xmms
[11:13] <Myrtti> nietszche: yes
[11:14] <Welly> :(
[11:14] <nietszche> what are these other guys saying that breezy has been naughty and blown up by aleins???
[11:14] <bluefrog-10> nietszche, practical jokers i guess...
[11:14] <Myrtti> nietszche: they were a bit annoyed you asked a question before using google
[11:14] <marsh> bluefrog-10, Mmm... the question was if it's normal to suffer these probs... reason being that with 15000+ tracks the database players are massively helpful in finding/viewing tracks/music
[11:15] <Gourami> green-mouse domain ZATRM
[11:15] <rob_p> Gourami:  Probably because of netbios name resolution...  If you want standard name resolution, you need to run a local DNS server.  Well, I guess you could use hosts files on each host if you don't want to setup a DNS server.
[11:15] <adam_r> there is a rude site that about not using google
[11:15] <cube> hello.I've a question.... I installed ubuntu and the system don't asked me for a root-password...now I don't know my password...what can II do?
[11:15] <adam_r> just[explicitdeleted] ing google it dot com
[11:15] <nietszche> well...i am already downloading as we speak...i edited my sources.list and change all hoary to breezy..then ran synaptic..it is dowloading now...is this the right procedure???
[11:15] <Myrtti> !rootsudo
[11:15] <ubotu> I heard rootsudo is at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo
[11:15] <bimberi> ubotu tell cube about root
[11:15] <bluefrog-10> marsh, well i doubt that u own legally 15000+tracks, so i don't really care, sry
[11:16] <Gourami> rob_p I do have a dns server, 2003 SBS its only the Ubuntu machines that cant resolve internal
[11:16] <bob2> Mabus06: I told you already, www-data
[11:16] <nietszche> i basically edited my sources.list and put in there breezy instead of hoary..is this correct way to upgerade???
[11:16] <Mabus06> bob2, you told me the default group name, not user
[11:16] <marsh> bluefrog-10, was only a question :P
[11:16] <Mabus06> but thanks, bob2
[11:16] <bluefrog-10> marsh, no problem
[11:16] <iceman> Where can i got in the theme settings to change FONT coloers
[11:16] <SlicelikeaninJa> yo
[11:16] <Myrtti> Nihil85: yes.
[11:16] <SlicelikeaninJa> i got a stupid question
[11:16] <Myrtti> sorry
[11:17] <marsh> ;)
[11:17] <bob2> Mabus06: they're both www-data
[11:17] <Mabus06> bob2, I didn't know that until now
[11:17] <bluefrog-10> SlicelikeaninJa, yo am the right guy to give a stupid anser
[11:17] <SlicelikeaninJa> i was wondering if someone could please tell me the difference between a "live CD" and an "Install CD"?
[11:17] <iceman> I open a Box to abjust Screen background settings, but all fonts and background are white... want to chang that so i can see the fonts ..
[11:17] <bob2> SlicelikeaninJa: one lets you run ubuntu from the cd, one installs ubuntu from the CD to your hard disk
[11:18] <SlicelikeaninJa> oh... sweet
[11:18] <marsh> 'Ere, Bluefrog... your system all made up of 'free' software?
[11:18] <SlicelikeaninJa> thanks
[11:18] <bluefrog-10> marsh, so far yes
[11:18] <cube> But why there is no root acc?whats the point?
[11:18] <bluefrog-10> marsh, GPL or bought for
[11:18] <Myrtti> cube: did you read the link ubotu gave you?
[11:19] <cube> yes i've done
[11:19] <marsh> Go On bluefrog-10!
[11:19] <Myrtti> the reason is pretty well explained there, I think.
[11:19] <Mabus06> bob2, still doesn't work
[11:19] <AMDXP> anyone having issues with xfce4 mine hangs after start up
[11:19] <rob_p> Gourami:  Then configure your DNS server correctly and it'll provide name resolution for your internal hosts.  This usually means setting up a zone for your internal network and defining name to IP mappings within it, for each host.
[11:19] <bluefrog-10> marsh, i have around 5000 songs coming from my cd's, cost me around 10 grands over the years...
[11:20] <bob2> Mabus06: I hope you've learnt the value of a) backing things up and b) not following things you don't understand
[11:20] <bob2> Mabus06: also, you haven't stated the nature of the currently problem
[11:20] <iceman> Anyone know how to change a set of Font Colors in Gnome ... in a theme ...
[11:20] <AMDXP> backup is crucial
[11:20] <Welly> Does anyone know what might cause a lock up on booting?
[11:20] <Mabus06> bob2, I wouldn't know what the nature of the problem is. I did what the wiki said, still can't access ip/index.html
[11:20] <bob2> Mabus06: so read your log files
[11:20] <rob_p> Welly:  I can think of a thousand things...
[11:21] <bob2> Mabus06: and then show us
[11:21] <The_Universe> excuse me, why when i do this...cat output.txt | grep unknown
[11:21] <adam_r> what is the pacage ububnt-desktop do
[11:21] <The_Universe> i get this...
[11:21] <Mabus06> bob2, didn't I already do that?
[11:21] <The_Universe> Binary file (standard input) matches
[11:21] <bob2> Mabus06: not access.log
[11:21] <hkais> hi
[11:21] <bob2> The_Universe: output.txt is not a text file
[11:22] <rob_p> Welly:  Do your system logs heed any clues?
[11:22] <Welly> rob_p, any suggestions? i can login but a few seconds later, it locks up and i can't get anywhere
[11:22] <Welly> rob_p, i can't get that far
[11:22] <Mabus06> bob2, access.log, comin up
[11:22] <Mabus06> err
[11:22] <Mabus06> where is it found?
[11:22] <adam_r> what is the pacage ububnt-desktop do
[11:22] <Mabus06> /var/log/apache2?
[11:22] <bob2> yes
[11:22] <The_Universe> bob2, i dont get how its not, its just the standard output of a python program piped into a text file
[11:22] <Mabus06> blank
[11:22] <bob2> adam_r: make it so your system works fine
[11:23] <bluefrog-10> adam_r, sets up ubuntu desktop
[11:23] <bob2> Mabus06: then apache is quite broken
[11:23] <rob_p> Welly:  Can you get to a command prompt?
[11:23] <bob2> Mabus06: purge all the apache packages and reinstall
[11:23] <Mabus06> broken? :S
[11:23] <Gourami> rob_p I dont see how reconfiguring a DNS server that works for everything from win98 to 2003 server is necessary when its only bloody Ubuntu that cant resolve an internal IP
[11:23] <bob2> Mabus06: purge != remove, byt
[11:23] <hkais> anyone here who could help me with this webmin error:
[11:23] <hkais>  HTTP/1.0 500 Perl execution failed Server: MiniServ/0.01 Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2005 09:15:15 GMT Content-type: text/html Connection: close  Error - Perl execution failed Undefined subroutine &proc::list_processes called at /usr/share/webmin/fsdump/index.cgi line 89.
[11:23] <adam_r> what happens if i uninstall it
[11:23] <Welly> rob_p, possibly! i'll reboot and have a look at the grub boot menu
[11:23] <Mabus06> how do I remove installed packages? in synaptic?
[11:23] <bob2> Mabus06: yes
[11:23] <rob_p> Gourami:  As I said, probably netbios...
[11:23] <bob2> The_Universe: well, regardless, grep thinks it is not
[11:24] <bluefrog-10> adam_r, u'll get a console system
[11:24] <bob2> bluefrog-10: no
[11:24] <bob2> adam_r: not much, just means upgrades will not be simple
[11:24] <adam_r> because im trying to uninstall php mysql and apache so i can start again installign the apache
[11:24] <bob2> adam_r: why don't you just tell us what you're planning to do?
[11:24] <Boobek> bye all
[11:24] <Arinux> hey all
[11:24] <iceman> There has to be a way to change Drop menu Font Colors ? how... anyone ...
[11:25] <bob2> adam_r: ubuntu-desktop does not care if you remove apache or php
[11:25] <bob2> iceman: please try to use english
[11:25] <bob2> iceman: and I'd wager it is theme-specific
[11:25] <adam_r> no but i tried to select libmysql14 for complete removal in synaptic and it said it has to also remove ubuntu-desktop
[11:25] <rob_p> Welly:  Once you can get to a command prompt, view your /var/log/messages, syslog, etc. and hopefully you'll find some clues.
[11:25] <bob2> adam_r: leave that alone
[11:25] <_root_> stopping ebtables service dosent remove bridge module from lsmod. why ?
[11:25] <bob2> adam_r: remove apache and php related packages
[11:25] <Mabus06> bob2, I will search synaptic for apache, uninstall anything installed, reinstall everything said by the wiki, then report back here
[11:26] <adam_r> im obviously trying to uninstall things i dont need to
[11:26] <bob2> Mabus06: ignore the wiki for the reinstall
[11:26] <adam_r> what about sql pacagages... just leave them?
[11:26] <Arinux> hey al
[11:26] <bob2> Mabus06: just install apache2 and libapache2-mod-php4
[11:26] <bob2> adam_r: yes
[11:26] <bob2> Mabus06: make sure you pick "complete removal" or whatever it calls it
[11:26] <iceman> bob2 yes it is theme specific, makes the theme where i can not see the fonts in the onscreen menu to change desktop backgrounds ... the fonts and the background are all white ... is the a tool to edit these settings ?
[11:26] <adam_r> compete removal removes the configs as well as the binarys or something
[11:27] <bob2> iceman: switch2 from the gtk-theme-switch
[11:27] <bob2> adam_r: correct, make sure you use it
[11:27] <Arinux> how do i install deb packages
[11:27] <Mabus06> bob2, :S uh, it appears synaptic is uninstalling way too many things...
[11:27] <bob2> Mabus06: uh, this is why you check before letting it do anything
[11:27] <bob2> Arinux: what are yo utrying to do?
[11:28] <Arinux> i just downloaded d4x now how do i install it
[11:28] <Mabus06> bob2, :(
[11:28] <moccah> Has anyone tried the new ATI Linux drivers?
[11:28] <bob2> Arinux: don't bother
[11:28] <bob2> !+info d4x breezy
[11:28] <Mabus06> bob2, it's uninstalling things like ktorrent and python
[11:28] <Arinux> then?
[11:28] <iceman> Cant open a terminal ? weird ...
[11:28] <ubotu> d4x: (graphical download manager), section universe/net, is optional. Version: 2.5.0rel-5 (breezy), Packaged size: 1103 kB, Installed size: 2680 kB
[11:28] <bob2> Mabus06: that was silly
[11:28] <bob2> Arinux: install it using synaptic
[11:28] <adam_r> libapr0 .... remove?
[11:29] <Arinux> and whats the command to work with .deb file on shell?
[11:29] <bob2> adam_r: doesn't matter
[11:29] <Mabus06> x-chat appears to be uninstalled, bob2, but I'm still here?
[11:29] <bob2> Arinux: use. synaptic.
[11:29] <adam_r> dpkg
[11:29] <moccah> Arinux, dpkg -i deb-pkg
[11:29] <bob2> Mabus06: yes, binaries exist in memory until you close them
[11:29] <Arinux> okay moccah i will try that
[11:30] <moccah> Anyone noticed any problems with the new ATI Drivers?
[11:30] <_root_> any answer for ebtables ?
[11:30] <Mabus06> bob2, okay now I feel plain retarded, I think I even uninstalled synaptic
[11:30] <_root_> hello
[11:30] <Mabus06> bob2, how do I install that?
[11:30] <bob2> Mabus06: um
[11:30] <bob2> Mabus06: seriously, you have to be way more careful in future
[11:30] <adam_r> just because you cant log in as root in ubuntu doesnt mean you cant get any
[11:30] <bob2> Mabus06: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[11:30] <_root_> why is module bridge getting loaded when ebtables is stopped ??
[11:30] <rob_p> Gourami:  One other thing to check... make sure you have a nameserver entry for your internal DNS server's IP, in your /etc/resolv.conf file.  If your server is configured properly, it should resolve them just fine.
[11:31] <Mabus06> i already tried sudo apt-get synaptic, it's doin something
[11:31] <bob2> Mabus06: er, ubuntu-desktop, that is
[11:31] <Mabus06> oh and i know kubunu!=ubuntu, but what's the diff?
[11:31] <moccah> Mabus06, you should be careful while using sudo, don`t use sudo -s that will leave you in root...
[11:31] <adam_r> kubuntu uses KDE
[11:32] <thoreauputic> KDE/Gnome
[11:32] <adam_r> ubuntu used GNOME
[11:32] <_root_> GNOME is ultimate
[11:32] <moccah> Its only the desktop enviroment that is different..
[11:32] <moccah> _root_, that depends ;) some like KDE, some like Gnome :p
[11:32] <Arinux> when i use the command mkdir in / it says permission denied!
[11:32] <thoreauputic> ..some like fluxbox....
[11:33] <thoreauputic> ;)
[11:33] <_root_> but KDE follows MS windows
[11:33] <Mabus06> ubuntu-desktop will reinstall everything default on ubuntu?
[11:33] <Mabus06> or what?
[11:33] <_root_> why do linux users go for that ?
[11:33] <moccah> Arinux, / is root, you have to be root to have permissions to make a directory there
[11:33] <thoreauputic> _root_: KDE is way more configurable than windows will ever be
[11:33] <Arinux> and how do i switch to root i am already getting that $ sign on my shell
[11:33] <moccah> Arinux, I strongly advice you to make folders in your home directory.. unless its for the system..
[11:33] <thoreauputic> _root_: you can make KDE look like anything
[11:34] <adam_r> how does KDE follow windows...
[11:34] <adam_r> honest question
[11:34] <_root_> thoreauputic: but GNOME is ultimate :)
[11:34] <Arinux> ya got it , used sudo
[11:34] <thoreauputic> adam_r: I think he means it has a "start" style menu nd is superficially similar
[11:35] <thoreauputic> _root_: I prefer fluxbox :P
[11:35] <Mabus06> I have a neat background image that mocks the default one for XP
[11:35] <thoreauputic> each to his/her own
[11:35] <mon> does vmware still work in breezy with anyone here?
[11:35] <adam_r> well all guis are simalar to that
[11:35] <adam_r> it just works well
[11:35] <thoreauputic> adam_r: not so
[11:35] <bluefrog-10> mon, yes
[11:35] <mon> i get the great "kernel compiled with other gcc version" thingy
[11:35] <thoreauputic> adam_r: the *boxes are quite different for instance
[11:35] <mon> bluefrog-10: you did export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.3 ?
[11:35] <bluefrog-10> mon, install gcc3.4 export...
[11:36] <adam_r> whats * box ecactly
[11:36] <Arinux> hey i want to move a file from desktop to the folder i created on / , but it says permission denied again
[11:36] <mon> bluefrog-10: hmm i wonde rwhy i didn't think of that
[11:36] <adam_r> error boxes? bubbles?
[11:36] <thoreauputic> adam_r: fluxbox, blackbox, openbox
[11:36] <mon> bluefrog-10: thanks, i'll try
[11:36] <adam_r> oh
[11:36] <thoreauputic> adam_r: window managers :)
[11:36] <adam_r> well thats why ive never head of them before
[11:36] <iceman> Details: Failed to execute child process "Terminal" (No such file or directory)
[11:36] <adam_r> because they are crazy
[11:36] <iceman> Cannot launch entry
[11:36] <iceman> Details: Failed to execute child process "Terminal" (No such file or directory)
[11:36] <thoreauputic> adam_r: *cough*
[11:36] <bluefrog-10> mon, install g++3.4 and use vmwre any any patch to launch vmware-config
[11:36] <moccah> Arinux, : you need to move it via sudo... only root has permissions to make folders, move folders/files to directories in /
[11:37] <iceman> bob2 ok, I go to the "Applications" -- "system tools" -- "terminal" and try to launch, but i get a error
[11:37] <adam_r> i wasnt serious
[11:37] <iceman> Cannot launch entry
[11:37] <iceman> Details: Failed to execute child process "Terminal" (No such file or directory)
[11:37] <mon> bluefrog-10: patch?
[11:37] <Arinux> so whats the command moccah
[11:37] <thoreauputic> adam_r:   http://xwinman.org
[11:37] <adam_r> flubuntu
[11:37] <bluefrog-10> mon, google for it. vmware-any-any patch
[11:38] <mon> bluefrog-10: ehr sure, thanks :)
[11:38] <adam_r> i used to like kde back when i first installed redhat in like 2002 but i like gnome for its profesinoal simplicity
[11:38] <moccah> Arinux, sudo mv /path/to/folder /path/to/move
[11:38] <bluefrog-10> mon, then you set up vmware and u say no when it asks u to laucnh config. then u run the patch and there u say yes to launch config
[11:39] <bluefrog-10> mon, will fail if u don't have g++3.4
[11:39] <bluefrog-10> mon and not exported gcc3.4 of course
[11:39] <moccah> Arinux, or you can go into Applications -> System Tools -> File Browser (Root)
[11:39] <adam_r> so let me get something... if someone writes a linux program... with a gui, they write it for a specific window manager, and it might not work with another one?
[11:39] <thoreauputic> iceman: try the terminal in "accessories"
[11:39] <iceman> how can i reinstall the terminal ?
[11:40] <thoreauputic> iceman: it's gnome-terminal
[11:40] <mon> bluefrog-10: i'll work it out, i think :)
[11:40] <iceman> ok that worked ...
[11:40] <kike> ubuntu-es
[11:40] <iceman> weird ...
[11:41] <highvoltage> adam_r: it will work with any manager, but it might require some specific libraries from another wm
[11:41] <adam_r> fair enough
[11:41] <adam_r> someone should tell fluxbot that vector graphics are the way of the futur
[11:41] <thoreauputic> iceman: the menu entry for "terminal" in system tools appears to be wrong in breezy - you can change it with the menu editor
[11:41] <highvoltage> for example, a kde application will work fine in GNOME, but it will load slightly slower, because the kdelibs need to be loaded first
[11:42] <adam_r> not small bitmaps n stuff
[11:42] <adam_r> yeah
[11:42] <highvoltage> fluxbox: vectors are the way of the future
[11:42] <mon> bluefrog-10: do you know what the patch does? can't find any info about it
[11:42] <iceman> thoreauputic ... will do that
[11:42] <thoreauputic> adam_r: you have no idea what you ar talking about, sorry
[11:42] <adam_r> i dont have any idea what i am talking about
[11:42] <bluefrog-10> mon, it sets the thing right with the vmon stuff
[11:43] <thoreauputic> adam_r: heheh - at least you are big enoughto admit it ;)
[11:43] <bluefrog-10> mon, otherwise at next reboot u may have some surprises
[11:43] <adam_r> some people wouldnt be
[11:43] <thoreauputic> adam_r: quite true - i meant it :)
[11:44] <adam_r> windowmaker looks like the best the 90's has to offer
[11:44] <mon> bluefrog-10: weird stuff. maybe i should make a little breezy howto for this, or did i miss it already
[11:44] <atripathi> Happy Diwali to all you guys!
[11:44] <thoreauputic> atripathi: :))
[11:44] <thoreauputic> atripathi: light some candles for me :)
[11:44] <atripathi> :)
[11:44] <adam_r> or at least the screengrabs i just looked at
[11:44] <Rawplayer> re
[11:44] <atripathi> Sure I will. Where are ya from buddy ?
[11:44] <bluefrog-10> mon, it won't work with the latest vmware (as far as i tried)
[11:45] <thoreauputic> adam_r: yes, but you see these wm s are very configurable
[11:45] <bluefrog-10> mon, works ok with 5.0.0.13.124
[11:45] <thoreauputic> adam_r: so you can make them look any way you want pretty much
[11:45] <Arinux> its not there moccah! and how do i remove a directory
[11:45] <odie5533> Is the typing break specific to ubuntu? or is it gnome too?
[11:45] <adam_r> if you know what your doing
[11:45] <adam_r> i dont
[11:46] <martii> ok then
[11:46] <thoreauputic> atripathi: .au - i used to live in Fiji and I remeber Diwali there with fondness :)
[11:46] <wottam> hi
[11:46] <thoreauputic> *remember
[11:46] <martii> it looks like we have f... up ati fglrx driver in breezy
[11:46] <martii> 8.16.20
[11:46] <timlinux> does anyone have a suggestion for shared authentication between multiple servers? Im looking for the simplest way to do this...NIS? SMB? Copy passwd files around? Is there any ubuntu tool to automate this?
[11:47] <martii> my machine hangs without reason (radeon 8500)
[11:47] <adam_r> what happend to BeOS
[11:47] <martii> after using opengl almoast at once
[11:47] <adam_r> what was BeOS
[11:48] <atripathi> yeah buddy
[11:49] <ompaul> is there a memtest option on ppc machines?
[11:49] <Chazwazza> hello, i was wondering where i can get info on the System Requirements of Ubuntu as I want to try dual booting with XP
[11:49] <Madpilot> does the next version of Ubuntu (Dapper, currently) built from Debian testing or unstable?
[11:50] <thoreauputic> Chazwazza: how much RAM do you have? What cpu?
[11:50] <adam_r> i uninstalled php and apache related pacagaes
[11:50] <adam_r> therefore if i follow the wiki
[11:50] <Madpilot> Chazwazza: if you can run XP acceptably, Ubuntu should to very well
[11:50] <Madpilot> *do, not to...
[11:50] <adam_r> i should have a webserver sometime soon
[11:50] <Chazwazza> 2.8Ghz, 512Mb RAM, but I'm not worried about that, I want to know how much Harddrive space it will take up
[11:50] <Ng> Madpilot: it's built from breezy and may or may not sync with unstable, I'm not sure if they've decided that yet
[11:50] <adam_r> but last time i did it failed
[11:51] <thoreauputic> Chazwazza:1.8 G approx
[11:51] <Chazwazza> ok, good, thanks
[11:51] <Chazwazza> that will be fine
[11:51] <Madpilot> Ng: thanks
[11:51] <thoreauputic> Chazwazza: that's just the default install
[11:51] <mon> bluefrog-10: everywhere it says: do NOT run the vmware-config.pl script before using the patch
[11:51] <Chazwazza> yeah, if i just want to use it lightly, will a 10Gb partition suffice
[11:51] <Welly> Is there anything i should be looking for in the logs that might tell me why it's locking up? i've had a look through and nothing, to me, stands out
[11:51] <mon> bluefrog-10: what if i did?..
[11:52] <thoreauputic> Chazwazza: which comes with a lot of stuff :)
[11:52] <thoreauputic> Chazwazza: yes that would be fine
[11:52] <thoreauputic> Chazwazza: if you don't do a lot of big video files etc, that gives you room to install other stuff too
[11:52] <Chazwazza> ok, thanks, whats the minimum space i should leave if i am a light user (i can always expand later), because i have quite a small harddrive, and will buy one once i feel more comftorable with linux
[11:53] <rob_p> timlinux:  Not sure exactly what you are trying to do but maybe this is a solution:  http://www.freeradius.org/
[11:53] <adam_r> lynx is a command line web browser isnt it
[11:53] <adam_r> why would apache reccoment i install that
[11:53] <thoreauputic> Chazwazza: I think your 10 Gig idea is about right - youcould make it less, but less than 5-6 G would be toosmall IMO
[11:54] <bluefrog-10> mon well it's up to u, all i know is that for me running config before any didn't do any good after reboot
[11:54] <dim__> hi
[11:54] <thoreauputic> Chazwazza: you want *some* room to play with
[11:54] <Chazwazza> yep, ok, thanks for all your help guys, i've g2g to bed now (10pm over here), talk to you guys later
[11:54] <adam_r> NZ sucks
[11:54] <Mattias> when i try to install ubuntu breeze it won't detect network, i got a WG311T netgear 108 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter card, how can i make this work?
[11:55] <mon> bluefrog-10: the patch  thingy just hangs without any info. and i've got no idea why. maybe a reboot will solve it then
[11:55] <bluefrog-10> mon hang on
[11:55] <dim__> I'm using ifplugd on my laptop and at the moment it freezes up the booting, because it's waiting for an interface to be plugged in. How do I disable this behavior?
[11:55] <mon> bluefrog-10: hm no, it's the vmware-config.pl that hangs...
[11:56] <bachstudies> hello everyone
[11:56] <intmagnov> hello
[11:56] <bachstudies> i wondered if someone could help me with a package update issue
[11:56] <Welly> could this locking up having anything to do with screen resolutions or that i'm using the AMD64 version? should I try using just the standard version, even though I've got an athlon 64?
[11:56] <dim__> any suggestions?
[11:57] <rob_p> dim__:  Is it a network interface?
[11:57] <dim__> yes
[11:57] <bluefrog-10> mon, http://users.linuxbourg.ch/waver/blog/index.php?2005/10/18/61-installer-vmware-sous-ubuntu-breezy   it's in french but well command lines are universal, u'll find ur way around with that. what version of vmware do u have?
[11:57] <bachstudies> ubuntu 5.10 tells me that packages libgl1-mesa and two other 'mesa' files need updating...when i type apt-get upgrade it can't download the headers
[11:58] <ompaul> bachstudies, if you could post your /etc/apt/sources.list in paste.ubuntulinux.nl then maybe some ideas could be had about it
[11:58] <rob_p> dim__:  Then it's probably configured via DHCP.  You can go in to your /etc/network/interfaces file and comment out the entries for that interface and it won't come up on boot.
[11:58] <Mattias> how do i get my wireless card to work? i can't even install ubuntu breezy on my other comp :(
[11:58] <NutterUK> Hello does anyone know a good DVD player? The one's that I've tried will not play the DVD
[11:59] <adam_r> Search both the strings starting by "User" and "Group", and change the names by the current username and groupname you are using. Then you'll need to restart Apache. (look at the next chapter concerning apache commands)
[11:59] <bachstudies> ok will do but as far as I can tell i have all the repositories enabled apart from the backports which don't seem to work
[11:59] <Welly> wow.. it's difficult getting any help round here :(
[11:59] <moccah> NutterUK, you can use VLC playe
[11:59] <DjKritical> Anyone know why my sound might skip whenever I do anything on my pc?
[11:59] <adam_r> if my username is Adam should i change both to Adam
[11:59] <NutterUK> Mo thanks ill give that a try
[11:59] <mon> bluefrog-10: no idea :) 5.something. the .tar.gz is on a currently unreachable machine
[11:59] <intmagnov> anyone from Denmark ??
[11:59] <Mattias> or should i just install ubuntu without internet and network then install some stuff manually to get it to work? someone pls help
[11:59] <dim__> rob_p: thanks, I'll try that
[11:59] <Mattias> wireless is a pain :(
[12:00] <moccah> Mattias, what kind of card you got?
[12:00] <adam_r> i am installing apache following the wiki
[12:00] <adam_r> i am at this step
[12:00] <adam_r> Search both the strings starting by "User" and "Group", and change the names by the current username and groupname you are using. Then you'll need to restart Apache. (look at the next chapter concerning apache commands)
[12:00] <Mattias> moccah, its a WG311T, Netgear 108 Mpbs Wireless PCI Adapter
[12:00] <dim__> mattias: yep, wireless takes a while to get working. Especially if you need wpa
[12:00] <rob_p> Welly:  Did your system logs yield any clues?
[12:00] <estupendocero> I just installed ubuntu, and only configured very conservative video modes. now I want to try higher resolution, but can't figure out how. There seems to be no no xf86config?
[12:00] <adam_r> if my username is Adam should i change both to Adam
[12:00] <Mattias> dim__, i need WPA-PSK :P
[12:01] <Welly> rob_p, nothing to me.. i'm going to try reinstalling with the non-64bit version and see if that helps anything
[12:01] <liable> !drxx
[12:01] <ubotu> liable: I haven't a clue
[12:01] <verden01> ca nanyone recommend a good desktop manager other than gnome or kde?
[12:01] <dim__> use wpa_supplicant
[12:01] <mon> estupendocero: it's xorg.conf now :)
[12:01] <hawking> Does anyone know of a des encryptor for linux?
[12:01] <rob_p> estupendocero:  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:01] <Mattias> dim__, how can i get it to work? should i install ubuntu first without internet?
[12:01] <dim__> Mattias: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WPAHowto
[12:01] <bluefrog-10> estupendocero, u should have taken the automatic install, not expert
[12:01] <moccah> Mattias, did the network device identifyed in the install?
[12:01] <rob_p> hawking:  dm-crypt
[12:02] <DjKritical> Anyone know why my sound might skip whenever I do anything on my pc?
[12:02] <bachstudies> ok i've posted my sources.list on paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[12:02] <Mattias> moccah, no idea, ill go check the error message.
[12:02] <liable> estupendocero: dont use xfconfig ever with a debian derivative, use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:02] <thoreauputic> verden01: have you tried xfce4 ?
[12:02] <moccah> Mattias, check in dmesg if the card was identified ;)
[12:02] <Mattias> moccah, its just "Automatic network configuring failed"
[12:02] <[dEvIL-BoY] > heello peeps
[12:02] <Mattias> moccah, how do i do that in the install for ubuntu?
[12:03] <[dEvIL-BoY] > anyone does remote support around here?
[12:03] <liable> estupendocero: also dont hand edit it if you dont have to..
[12:03] <adam_r> verden01, there arent any good ones other than kde or gnome in my personal opnion
[12:03] <verden01> no not yet
[12:03] <ompaul> bachstudies, remove the backports and see if that is your issue, also if your talking to a particular person on irc address them at the start of the message it means that they can pick up on the conversation easily - there are 566 logons to this channel - it can be hard to follow what is going on
[12:03] <verden01> k
[12:04] <thoreauputic> adam_r: you speak from years of experience, of course ;)
[12:04] <[dEvIL-BoY] > i'm having a head acke trying to install my wireless card
[12:04] <bachstudies> ompaul, sorry it's my first time using IRC!
[12:04] <[dEvIL-BoY] > i have tried everything and it doesnt seems to work
[12:04] <[dEvIL-BoY] > HELP
[12:04] <Mattias> moccah, so ill just install ubuntu first without the wireless? then ill configure it inside ubuntu somehow?
[12:04] <adam_r> i sure do
[12:04] <adam_r> months infact
[12:04] <thoreauputic> :)
[12:04] <adam_r> months over the last 4 years though...
[12:04] <ompaul> bachstudies, its just info, no need to be sorry :-)
[12:05] <moccah> Mattias, sure, i think there is a gudie on howto install  WG311T, check the ubuntuforums ;)
[12:05] <bachstudies> ompaul, surely the backports are already deactivated because the lines have a # at the start
[12:05] <adam_r> how do i know what groupname i am using... is it just `users`
[12:05] <ompaul> bachstudies, they are - I had commented before reading your web page
[12:05] <[dEvIL-BoY] > No DHCPOFFERS received.
[12:05] <[dEvIL-BoY] > No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
[12:05] <Mabus06> bob2, still isn't working after I reinstalled ubuntu-desktop and those two files you sai
[12:05] <Mabus06> d
[12:06] <[dEvIL-BoY] > Installed ndis drivers:
[12:06] <[dEvIL-BoY] > gplus   driver present, hardware present
[12:06] <[dEvIL-BoY] > but it doesn't comes up in networking
[12:06] <thoreauputic> adam_r: no, probably the same as your user name - or should be on ubuntu
[12:06] <[dEvIL-BoY] > the wlan0
[12:06] <Mattias> moccah, i can't find it :(
[12:06] <thoreauputic> adam_r: you'll see that if you type say  ls -l ~
[12:07] <bachstudies> ompaul, up to now i have resorted to locking the versions of the files so that auto update doesn't keep telling me to update!
[12:07] <Gourami> is there another way to configure smb.conf except for manually editing the file ?
[12:07] <atripathi> I wonder how correct is to have different Ubuntu and Kubuntu projects
[12:07] <El_Che> Gourami: swat or webmin?
[12:07] <adam_r> drwxr-xr-x  2 jarryd jarryd    4096 2005-10-27 23:23 bin
[12:07] <thoreauputic> atripathi: they aren't different projects
[12:07] <atripathi> why dont distribute them together like many other distros
[12:08] <moccah> Mattias, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=39073&highlight=WG311T+howto ;)
[12:08] <thoreauputic> atripathi: they are just differnet desktops of the same distro
[12:08] <atripathi> Yeah i know the base is same
[12:08] <Gourami> El_Che I havent heard of either of those
[12:08] <thoreauputic> atripathi: you can't fit both on one disc :)
[12:08] <adam_r> to prevent bloatware atripathi
[12:08] <lh> tere
[12:08] <Mattias> moccah, ty :)
[12:08] <ompaul> bachstudies, can you >> sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade << in a terminal and then paste the errors in the pastebin ?
[12:08] <atripathi> but why have a different distro(kubuntu) for the sake of  desktop
[12:08] <adam_r> a 600meg cd instead of a 3gig dvd like fedora
[12:09] <moccah> Mattias, np =)
[12:09] <thoreauputic> it *isn't a different distro
[12:09] <bachstudies> ompaul, sure!
[12:09] <thoreauputic> atripathi: read my lips - same distro
[12:09] <hyphenated> atripathi: it's just a different set of packages on the install CD.
[12:09] <adam_r> drwxr-xr-x  2 jarryd jarryd    4096 2005-10-27 23:23 bin
[12:09] <hyphenated> same distro, same vendor
[12:09] <atripathi> Ow! mean Extension!
[12:09] <[dEvIL-BoY] > ermmm
[12:09] <Bonzodog> different desktop suite
[12:09] <adam_r> does that mean my group is jarryd and my username is jarryd
[12:09] <thoreauputic> atripathi: there's also xubuntu-desktop for that matter
[12:09] <Myrtti> adam_r: yes
[12:09] <Bonzodog> yup
[12:10] <atripathi> Thanks Solved! :)
[12:10] <thoreauputic> adam_r: yes
[12:10] <Bonzodog> Most linux distros come with a choice of desktop
[12:10] <ompaul> atripathi, x is very useful for low end machines
[12:10] <[dEvIL-BoY] > a little help someone??
[12:10] <adam_r> so much for being called adam
[12:10] <[dEvIL-BoY] > on installing a wireless card
[12:10] <[dEvIL-BoY] > anyone?
[12:10] <moccah> [dEvIL-BoY] , what kind of card?
[12:10] <Bonzodog> for instanc, slackware comes with: Fluxbox, blackbox, KDE, Gnome, Windowmaker
[12:10] <[dEvIL-BoY] > it's a d-link dwl-g650+
[12:11] <[dEvIL-BoY] > i have installed ndiswrapper
[12:11] <atripathi> yeah many have atleast Gnome and KDE
[12:11] <thoreauputic> [dEvIL-BoY] : unless you ask sane questions and stop ranting, I doubt you'll get much help
[12:11] <moccah> [dEvIL-BoY] , have the system identifyed the card?
[12:11] <[dEvIL-BoY] > this is the output for ndiswrapper -l
[12:11] <bachstudies> ompaul, ok they are pasted...
[12:11] <atripathi> it was a bit uneasy to settle with gnome in the beginning but latest Gnome is much better
[12:11] <[dEvIL-BoY] > Installed ndis drivers:
[12:11] <[dEvIL-BoY] > gplus   driver present, hardware present
[12:11] <[dEvIL-BoY] > moccah,  nope
[12:11] <ompaul> [dEvIL-BoY] , paste in paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[12:11] <cusco> [dEvIL-BoY] : lol
[12:12] <[dEvIL-BoY] > cusco,  around here
[12:12] <[dEvIL-BoY] > ??
[12:12] <cusco> [dEvIL-BoY] : iwconfig wlan0
[12:12] <[dEvIL-BoY] > :P
[12:12] <morgs^^> hi guys ... im installing v4l .... and theres a frontend for it that wont let up with wanteing **liblinc1** and lots of dependancies .... where can i find liblinc1 like rpmfind,et ?
[12:12] <cusco> shows anything interesting?
[12:13] <Bonzodog> morgs^^: try googling for liblinc1.deb
[12:13] <[dEvIL-BoY] > sudo: iwconfig: command not found
[12:13] <ompaul> bachstudies,  and it stops there?
[12:13] <cusco> [dEvIL-BoY] : sudo apt-get install wireless-tools
[12:13] <guru_> where can i found the e17 repositories for ubuntu??
[12:14] <Bonzodog> Ubuntu uses the Debian file packages
[12:14] <bachstudies> ompaul, yes
[12:14] <[dEvIL-BoY] > one sec
[12:15] <guru_> yes, but in the update the repository for debian not is valid
[12:15] <ompaul> guru_, have a look at >> apt-cache search enlight << that will give you lots of food for thought
[12:15] <Arinux> how do i check whats my current kernel version
[12:15] <guru_> ok, thx ompaul
[12:15] <DjKritical> Anyone know why my sound might skip whenever I do anything on my pc?
[12:15] <estupendo> I have some crazy old LCD that documentation doesn't seem to exist for. It has autodetected correctly before (in Novell Linux Desktop), but I CAN'T seem to configure it correctly any other way, incl. in ubuntu. Any ideas?
[12:15] <ompaul> bachstudies, try this sudo apt-get -f upgrade
[12:15] <morgs^^>  Bonzodog ... cheers man ...  ive been using alien for rpm to deb .... SOMEtimes it works :))
[12:15] <Bonzodog> guru_: was explaining that to someone else
[12:16] <thoreauputic> DjKritical: probably your cpu is overloaded
[12:16] <hkais> noone here who could help with?:
[12:16] <hkais>  HTTP/1.0 500 Perl execution failed Server: MiniServ/0.01 Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2005 09:15:15 GMT Content-type: text/html Connection: close  Error - Perl execution failed Undefined subroutine &proc::list_processes called at /usr/share/webmin/fsdump/index.cgi line 89.
[12:16] <Bonzodog> haveyou enabled universe/multiverse as synaptic brings up enlightenment 0.16
[12:16] <DjKritical> thoreauputic, I've got a 3GHz P4.. surely that shouldn't be too much of a problem?..
[12:16] <thoreauputic> DjKritical: indeed - that sounds doubtful then ;)
[12:16] <DjKritical> thoreauputic, I tried ALSA instead of ESD.. that helped a bit
[12:17] <thoreauputic> DjKritical: in that case I don't reallyknow...
[12:17] <DjKritical> all good,
[12:17] <Welly> does ubuntu have support for usb cd writers?
[12:17] <jono> hi all
[12:17] <Arinux> any one ?
[12:17] <gruff532> hi can somoen explaoin to me what a smylink is?
[12:17] <ompaul> bachstudies, any reaction?
[12:17] <DjKritical> Welly: as far as I know, should work without any effort :P
[12:17] <jono> I just stuck a PVR-350 card into my box and rebooted - should the kernel autoamtically pcik up the card and load the right module or do I need to do anything special?
[12:17] <Welly> excellent.. without effort, i like that
[12:17] <bachstudies> ompaul, it is still pausing on 0% [Waiting for headers] ...I think that synaptic gives a different error message...hold on
[12:18] <ompaul> Arinux, uname -a will tell you
[12:18] <thoreauputic> gruff532: it's a kind of shortcut from one file or directory to another
[12:18] <gruff532> hmm
[12:18] <gruff532> i remember seeing them in my apache
[12:18] <gruff532> i think its mods enabled
[12:18] <estupendo> is there any reason I can't steal the xf86config from a suse derivative and use it in ubuntu?
[12:18] <DjKritical> Welly, most USB/Firewire stuff of mine works without any adjustment.. including USB headphones?!
[12:19] <ccooke> estupendo: well, yes and no
[12:19] <thoreauputic> estupendo: ubuntu uses xorg for a start
[12:19] <ccooke> estupendo: Ubuntu uses xorg
[12:19] <thoreauputic> it *might* work...
[12:19] <estupendo> can i modify it, or at least steal lines?
[12:19] <ccooke> it *won't* work.
[12:19] <ccooke> however, there are simple changes
[12:19] <plod_> hey what version of glibc does breezy come with
[12:20] <ompaul> bachstudies, okay lets try something else >>sudo apt-get install xdriinfo <<
[12:20] <ccooke> the real problem will be fonts
[12:20] <thoreauputic> ccooke: hmm - the config files are similar
[12:20] <thoreauputic> ah yes
[12:20] <estupendo> damn, fonts were one place I was having a problem in suse
[12:20] <ccooke> estupendo: suse and Ubuntu probably have quite a different font layout.
[12:20] <adam_r> i found if i read every word and do everythign without skipping things, stuff works better
[12:20] <bachstudies> ompaul, ok i already have that installed
[12:20] <ccooke> thoreauputic: yes. There are only two changes to make to turn an xfree86 config into an xorg one.
[12:20] <thoreauputic> adam_r:  indeed :)
[12:20] <ompaul> bachstudies, was this a breezy default install?
[12:20] <ccooke> thoreauputic: Both in the keyboard section, IIRC
[12:21] <thoreauputic> ccooke: I'll leave it in your capable hands - you know more about it than I :)
[12:21] <bachstudies> ompaul, yes
[12:21] <ompaul> bachstudies, this I find strange, because of the way the package system works
[12:22] <concept10> I want to start optimizing my system (desktop) how do I find out what app used named?
[12:22] <bob2> Mabus06: huh?
[12:22] <concept10> *uses named (bind) does TB use this?
[12:22] <bachstudies> ompaul, i did the usual thing of doing a normal installation and then activated the other repositories and installed nvidia 3d drivers
[12:22] <bob2> Mabus06: I told you to purge all of apache and php4, then to reinstall ubuntu-desktop and libapache2-mod-php4 and apache2. did you do that?
[12:22] <DjKritical> anyone know how to mount or convert bin&cue files?
[12:22] <Mabus06> yes, bob2
[12:23] <Mabus06> I can load index.html from lynx localhost bob2
[12:23] <bob2> DjKritical: bchunk can make an iso out of them, if they're data
[12:23] <estupendo> ccooke, how might I go about resolving the font problems? Alternately, can I just steal the lines re: vido modes and stick them in the xorg file?
[12:23] <bob2> Mabus06: great
[12:23] <Mabus06> bob2, but when typing myip/index.html in firefox, i cannot resolve the host
[12:23] <hkais> really noone here, who uses webmin under ubuntu?
[12:23] <ccooke> estupendo: why don't you want to use the xorg config?
[12:23] <ompaul> bachstudies, apt-cache search libgl1-mesa-dri << what does that give?
[12:23] <bob2> Mabus06: show us the real url you're using
[12:23] <bob2> hkais: most people try to avoid it
[12:24] <ccooke> you can certainly steal the mode lines, yes
[12:24] <DjKritical> cheers bob2, installing it as we speal
[12:24] <hkais> bob2: why?
[12:24] <Mabus06> http://142.177.91.155/index.html
[12:24] <bob2> hkais: because people have long memories and it used to do terrible things to config files
[12:24] <morgs^^> anyone had problems installing Gv4l ?
[12:24] <bachstudies> ompaul, it doesn't do anything..
[12:24] <estupendo> because I can't get my monitor to work right. The only time I've ever seen it work right was when it was autodetected by this one distro (novell linux desktop)
[12:25] <bob2> Mabus06: smells a lot like your network is misconfigured. e.g you have a firewall or something doing NAT
[12:25] <estupendo> I've tried everything I, or people I've talked to, could think of
[12:25] <Mabus06> bob2, how might I diagnose and change that? my computer connects to a router via ethernet, router is connected to ADSL modem which is connected, obviously, to the ADSL jack.
[12:26] <estupendo> ccooke, because I can't get my monitor to work right. The only time I've ever seen it work right was when it was autodetected by this one distro (novell linux desktop)
[12:26] <ompaul> bachstudies, if you want change the gb. to ie. in that file and try a different location, it might be useful given your getting no reply
[12:26] <bob2> Mabus06: what mode is the modem in? bridge or router?
[12:26] <thoreauputic> estupendo:  run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in a terminal
[12:27] <ompaul> bachstudies, in "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list"
[12:27] <ccooke> estupendo: hmm. Have you tried the edid tools?
[12:27] <Mabus06> bob2, no idea, how do I check/change that?
[12:27] <hkais> bob2: hmm what is interessting. I had never an problem with webmin. could you tell me more?
[12:27] <bob2> hkais: no
[12:27] <estupendo> ccooke, I don't beleive so. How would I go about doing that?
[12:27] <Mabus06> bob2 is it a CT-301 ... if that is important
[12:27] <ompaul> bachstudies brb
[12:27] <bob2> hkais: it used to suck. I have no idea if it does or doesn't anymore, but using a web interface to edit config files is always going to be flakey.
[12:28] <kandoora_> what's the best antivirus for linux aegis or clamav
[12:28] <estupendo> thoreauputic, tried it
[12:28] <bob2> kandoora_: what is your goal with either of them?
[12:28] <Bonzodog> kandoora_: why antivirus?
[12:28] <Bonzodog> linux generally doesn't get viruses
[12:28] <thoreauputic> estupendo: ccooke 's idea is good - I think the package is called read-edid or something like that
[12:28] <bozzu> how can i disable unused device to reduce power usage? (for example i got un unsupported webcam, a card reader i do not need...)
[12:29] <kandoora_> don't we need anti-virus software on linux like windows
[12:29] <thoreauputic> hmm
[12:29] <bob2> kandoora_: no
[12:29] <Bonzodog> but if your machine is acting a gateway to a windows machine, it could be useful
[12:29] <kandoora_> cool
[12:29] <bob2> bozzu: possibly, but that usuallly needs special driver support, which you don't have ;)
[12:29] <thoreauputic> estupendo: yes, that's the name I was trying to recall
[12:29] <thoreauputic> estupendo:  apt-cache show read-edid  to see what it is
[12:30] <estupendo> I'll give it a shot, thanks
[12:30] <kandoora_> ok next question, KDE has got kmobiletools, does gnome have something similar?
[12:30] <thoreauputic> !info read-edidi
[12:30] <thoreauputic> bah
[12:30] <thoreauputic> !info read-edid
[12:30] <ubotu> read-edid: (hardware information-gathering tool for VESA PnP monitors), section universe/utils, is optional. Version: 1.4.1-2ubuntu1 (breezy), Packaged size: 12 kB, Installed size: 72 kB
[12:30] <estupendo> oh, cool
[12:30] <bozzu> bob2, i was hoping in something "raw" via the /sys interface... i think i can live without it :)
[12:31] <bachstudies> ompaul, the ie. doesn't seem to make a difference. Do you think it could just be that those packages are corrupt on all the servers?
[12:31] <Bonzodog> kandoora_: I don't think so, could help to google for 'mobile tools gnome' or something...
[12:31] <ccooke> estupendo: sorry, was busy for a moment
[12:31] <kandoora_> tried it no luck
[12:31] <estupendo> it's okay
[12:32] <adam_r> should i set a password for the mysql user debian-sys-maint
[12:32] <Bonzodog> then on, I don't think so
[12:32] <ccooke> estupendo: the package is read-edid - it's a pair of tools which read the config data from your monitor and attempt to write out an xorg config for it.
[12:32] <estupendo> ccooke, no prob, edid looks promising, I'm looking into it
[12:32] <kandoora_> anyone know of a password manager, or do you suggest that i save an calc file with a password, is it safe enough?
[12:32] <morgs^^> Bonzodog  thanks for the search tip ... all going fine now cheers
[12:32] <ccooke> it worked for me in a rather tricky problem on Hoary
[12:32] <ompaul> bachstudies, it is possible, but unlikely
[12:33] <bachstudies> ompaul, should i try changing the gb. to nothing
[12:33] <kandoora_> Bonzodog: do you know of a password manager?
[12:33] <Bonzodog> kandoora: your account is password locked, chances are that no-one will get to the file, so no.
[12:34] <ompaul> bachstudies, gb = nothing iirc
[12:34] <kandoora_> bonz
[12:34] <ompaul> bachstudies, go for it there is no harm
[12:34] <kandoora_> Bonzodog:  what about security on the net
[12:34] <hkais> anyone here who knows a irc-gateway, which is capable to communicate with http between my client and any server, and the server itself connects to the irc?
[12:34] <estupendo> ccooke, is it part of the ubuntu distro, or am I going to have to track it down on my own? I'm not familiar with synaptic package manager yet...
[12:35] <thoreauputic> estupendo: it's in universe
[12:35] <thoreauputic> estupendo: as ubotu's factoid showed earlier
[12:36] <Xyc0> What version of Quake was made OpenSource?
[12:36] <adam_r> should i set a password for the mysql user `debian-sys-maint`
[12:36] <thoreauputic> !tell estupendo about repos
[12:36] <Bonzodog> kandoora_: use a good firewall, and even then people would have to ssh to get in, then know your account password to get in
[12:36] <bob2> bozzu: hm, that may work
[12:36] <Madpilot> Xyc0: Quake 3, I think - but it's just the game engine, not the whole thing
[12:36] <bob2> adam_r: you should read the README.Debian, that's what you hould do
[12:37] <kandoora_> Bonzodog, thanks a mil
[12:37] <kandoora_> ok, i'm having problems with mplayer, i can't seem to download it, is it ok if i download the codecs for totem
[12:37] <adam_r> the readme for debian
[12:37] <adam_r> ?
[12:37] <bachstudies> ompaul, no joy. I really think that it must be those packages because i've installed other updates from the same repositories
[12:37] <adam_r> that would be ages long
[12:37] <Bonzodog> ubuntu has a couple of good firewalls, the best is guarddog
[12:37] <adam_r> just tell me i dont want a majorly insecure mysql server
[12:37] <adam_r> please
[12:37] <adam_r> ill resepct you and you get to disrespect me
[12:38] <bozzu> bob2, how?
[12:38] <kandoora_> Bonzodog, isn't guarddog for KDE?
[12:38] <Bonzodog> It might be...hold...
[12:39] <ompaul> bachstudies, apt-cache policy libgl1-mesa-dri
[12:39] <ompaul> bachstudies, what version number does that yeild
[12:39] <ompaul> bachstudies, yield
[12:39] <Bonzodog> kandoora: sorry, use firestarter in gnome
[12:39] <kandoora_> Bonzodog: how about shorewall
[12:40] <Bonzodog> shorewall isn't bad...
[12:40] <bob2> adam_r: leave it alone then
[12:40] <bachstudies> ompaul, it says unable to locate package
[12:40] <bob2> bah
[12:40] <Bonzodog> but ubuntu has firestarter out of the box available in synaptic
[12:40] <Bonzodog> kubuntu uses guarddog
[12:40] <eric_t> hi
[12:40] <ompaul> bachstudies, do you want that package?
[12:41] <kandoora_> Bonzodog, what do u use
[12:41] <ompaul> bachstudies, to see if it goes away
[12:41] <Bonzodog> i'm using a little known gtk packge called lokkit
[12:41] <Bonzodog> which came with ubuntu
[12:42] <kandoora_> ok, i'm having problems with mplayer, i can't seem to download it, is it ok if i download the codecs for totem
[12:42] <Bonzodog> if your universe and multiverse are enabled it should belisted
[12:42] <RoseMayFears> can we upgrade from hoary to breezy...???
[12:42] <Bonzodog> RoseMayFears: yes, by all menas
[12:42] <Bonzodog> *means
[12:42] <bachstudies> ompaul, i don't understand...apparently it is installed...
[12:43] <bob2> RoseMayFears: read the channel topic
[12:43] <bob2> kandoora_: you'd need to elaborate on "can't seem to download it" if you want help
[12:43] <RoseMayFears> what i did, is edit the sources.list and chang the hoary to breezy.  will this work? it is installing now via synaptic ??
[12:43] <bob2> kandoora_: ie paste /etc/apt/sources.list to #flood, along with the error
[12:43] <bob2> RoseMayFears: read the channel topic
[12:44] <plod_> i'm trying to add a PATH of /usr/loca/mysql/bin to every user ive lobbed PATH="/usr/local/mysql/bin"
[12:44] <plod_>  at the bottom of /etc/encironment, but that doesn't seem to have worked, any ideas?
[12:44] <bob2> ugh
[12:44] <bob2> mysql is in ubuntu, you know
[12:44] <bob2> also, set it in /etc/profile
[12:44] <bob2> or /etc/bash.bashrc
[12:44] <bob2> it depends on what your useres do
[12:44] <RoseMayFears> i just edited sources.list...to breezy..is this all???
[12:44] <bob2> RoseMayFears: wtf
[12:44] <bob2> RoseMayFears: read the channel topic
[12:45] <bob2> RoseMayFears: it tells you exactly how to upgrade to breezy
[12:45] <kandoora_> bob2: as in i only get mga-vid-source as a package when i search for mplayer in synaptic
[12:45] <ompaul> bachstudies, drop it in /var/cache/apt/archives get an independent md5sum for it mine shows cac5af20be827125a3da53504022ba1e
[12:45] <RoseMayFears> where is that site?
[12:45] <estupendo> thoreauputic, ccooke, got read-edid installed, now how do i run it? I'm a loser n00b, I know
[12:45] <bob2> RoseMayFears: please? just read the channel topic.
[12:45] <bob2> RoseMayFears: if you don't know what that means, then say "I don't know what that means", instead of ignoring it
[12:45] <bob2> kandoora_: that means you didn't enable multiverse. wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto
[12:46] <RoseMayFears> k...got it..
[12:46] <kandoora_> bob2: it is enabled
[12:46] <bob2> kandoora_: no it's not
[12:46] <bob2> kandoora_: show us your /etc/apt/sources.list in #flood
[12:46] <planetcall> Did anyone know AMAROK gives info about the artist
[12:46] <planetcall> its great
[12:49] <kandoora_> bob2: it's all in there
[12:49] <Bonzodog> bob2: isn't it ghreat working in tech support voluntary like?
[12:49] <bob2> kandoora_: so you don't have multiverse enabled
[12:49] <bob2> kandoora_: read that wiki page again
[12:49] <Bonzodog> :))
[12:49] <bob2> Bonzodog: oh yeah, I love all the credit and thanks!
[12:51] <estupendo> I figured out the edid tools, but unfortunately they can't figure out my monitor either. any other ideas?
[12:52] <wizo> hmm, im having trouble installing samba thru synaptic
[12:52] <wizo> anyone has problems?
[12:53] <estupendo> ccooke, thoreauputic, I have to sleep, I'll try again tomorrow. ThANK YOU so much for all your help though
[12:53] <Nei> could someone tell me how I make mplayer xvidix work as non root in mplayer?
[12:53] <kandoora_> bob2: i put the error i get when i start synaptic in #flood
[12:54] <kandoora_> bob2: can u tell me what it means
[12:54] <ompaul> kandoora_, put it in paste.ubuntulinux.nl - it will not be there when someone goes there
[12:54] <ompaul> kandoora_, that gives persistance
[12:55] <Bonzodog> or pastebin
[12:55] <wizo> i get the error saying samba: Depends: samba-common (=3.0.12-1ubuntu3) but 3.0.14a-3ubuntu~5.04ubp1 is to be installed
[12:55] <Bonzodog> .org
[12:55] <wizo> but i alrady have samba-common installed in synaptic
[12:56] <Bonzodog> wizo: look at the version numbers, it's just upgrading you
[12:56] <kandoora_> ompaul: it's there
[12:56] <kandoora_> bob2: it's there
[12:56] <Bonzodog> it's actaully gonna install a newer version of the package
[12:57] <wizo> Bonzodog: my samba-common is at 3.0.14a-3ubuntu3~5.04ubp1
[12:57] <ompaul> kandoora_, the way to do that is say url/xyz has the error blah can anyone advise and then you get the best help
[12:57] <Bonzodog> in that case ignore it...it will sort itself out
[12:57] <wizo> but then i cant select sambz for installation in synaptic manager
[12:57] <Bonzodog> and realise it is already installed
[12:58] <wizo> samba*
[12:58] <Bonzodog> hold it....your synaptic says you don't have it already installed?
[12:58] <Bonzodog> synaptic should mark it in green if its already installed
[12:58] <wizo> when i try to select samba for install in synaptic, i get the error saying => samba: Depends: samba-common (=3.0.12-1ubuntu3) but 3.0.14a-3ubuntu~5.04ubp1 is to be installed
[12:59] <wizo> well, its nto marked green
[12:59] <Bonzodog> just say ok then
[12:59] <wizo> but my samba-common is installed in green
[12:59] <kandoora_> ompaul, how about now
[12:59] <Bonzodog> it will have seen your samba common
[12:59] <Bonzodog> it just presents that message...
[01:00] <wizo> but then i can only click close
[01:00] <ompaul> kandoora_, I do not know why you can't get to that I can with a web browser
[01:00] <Bonzodog> just say 'ok'
[01:00] <wizo> theres no ok, only close
[01:00] <kandoora_> ompaul, you've lost me
[01:00] <kandoora_> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3863
[01:01] <Bonzodog> wizo: have you done an apt-get update recently?
[01:01] <wizo> yeh i did
[01:01] <wizo> and er, i got some errors
[01:01] <Bonzodog> like?
[01:01] <wizo> Failed to fetch http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/dists/hoary-backports/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404 Not Found
[01:01] <wizo> a few of that
[01:01] <Bonzodog> ubuntu backports doesn't exist
[01:02] <Bonzodog> it was removed
[01:02] <nikken> hi ppl
[01:02] <Bonzodog> so remove it from your sources list
[01:02] <wizo> ohh ok
[01:02] <kandoora_> Bonzodog, can you help me out http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3863
[01:02] <nikken> just installed ubunto and i must say, it very nice
[01:03] <Bonzodog> kandoora_: Ubuntu backports don't exist
[01:03] <Bonzodog> you need to edit your sources.list
[01:03] <kandoora_> Bonzodog, to what
[01:03] <[koji] > !samba
[01:03] <ubotu> [samba]  http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/SettingUpSamba or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[01:03] <Breaks> glad to hear you like it nikken :)
[01:04] <Bonzodog> remove the lines that mention backports
[01:04] <wizo> should only have 2 lines
[01:04] <kandoora_> Bonzodog, ok i'll do that
[01:04] <ompaul> kandoora_, as Bonzodog said ( I must be getting too tired) >> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list << put a #  at the start of any line that has backports in it
[01:05] <wizo> hmm, i deleted the backports
[01:05] <wizo> lolx
[01:05] <Bonzodog> wizo: do an apt-get update now
[01:05] <wizo> done
[01:05] <ompaul> kandoora_, a # disables it and removing it has the same impact after that >sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade< and away you go
[01:05] <wizo> i`ll do it again for safety measure
[01:05] <wizo> yeh its done
[01:06] <Bonzodog> cool
[01:06] <ompaul> bachstudies, so do you know how to install that?
[01:06] <wizo> Bonzodog: u think it wil work now?
[01:06] <Bonzodog> the thing is your samba-common should match the version numbers for main samba packges
[01:06] <wizo> -sigh-
[01:07] <Bonzodog> I can't figure out why synaptic is giving you this error
[01:07] <Bonzodog> then refusing to install anyway
[01:07] <wizo> yeh
[01:08] <kandoora_> ompaul and bonz thanx a mill
[01:08] <wizo> my samba common version in synaptic is that it wanted
[01:08] <Bonzodog> wizo: you got your machine attached to a windows network?
[01:08] <wizo> erm yeh
[01:08] <wizo> all my housemates are on windows
[01:09] <Bonzodog> upgrade them to ubuntu!! tell em it's an upgrade!
[01:09] <wizo> lol
[01:09] <wizo> i did
[01:09] <wizo> i gave one of them a CD
[01:09] <wizo> but he didnt want to use it
[01:09] <wizo> he rather stay with windos ;p
[01:09] <Bonzodog> hrm....
[01:09] <ompaul> wizo, his loss
[01:10] <wizo> but i dun get y my samba doesnt install
[01:12] <wizo> samba-common is 3.0.14a-3ubuntu3~5.04ubp1 and then synaptic gives me the error Depends: samba-common (=3.0.10-1ubuntu3) but 3.0.14a-3ubuntu3~5.04ubp1 is to be installed
[01:12] <Reval> hello =)
[01:12] <Breaks> do you have an older version already installed?, just out of curiosity
[01:12] <wizo> Breaks: err, im not sure
[01:12] <Breaks> Reval, hey
[01:13] <hit3k> I finally installed breezy badger after..how longs it been out?
[01:14] <Breaks> hit3k, since the 13th of this month :)
[01:14] <morgs^^> synaptic says i have 1 broken package ... which wants to remove apt ... and like 933mb of stuff i have installed!!    how do i find the source of the problem ?
[01:14] <blenda> is there any smooth way to change locale via gnome or something like that? i want my system to be in english, not swedish
[01:14] <hit3k> about 3 weeks then
[01:14] <wizo> issit coz my samba version is 3.0.10 and my samba-common is 3.0.14a-3blah blah ?
[01:14] <Reval> I've been going back and forth with a problem involving running fullscreen applications, and switching between them.  I use the workspace switcher that came with ubuntu, but I want to know if there's a hotkeyed way to switch, or if I can set one up =)
[01:14] <thoreauputic> morgs^^: have you used 3rd party sources?
[01:14] <thoreauputic> like debian or backports or marillat etc
[01:14] <Juhaz> Reval, workspaces? ctrl+alt+arrows
[01:14] <Breaks> Reval, do you mean a hotkey to switch workspaces? or applications on one particular workspace?
[01:14] <Bonzodog> right, i'm off for a bit....
[01:14] <Bonzodog> back later all
[01:14] <Breaks> Juhaz, beat me to it :p
[01:15] <wizo> cya Bonzodog
[01:15] <Mez> thoreauputic, backports is technically not 3rd party
[01:15] <Reval> well, I have one full screen app running in one workspace, and another running in the second.  I want to switch between them without m aking them windowed
[01:15] <thoreauputic> Mez: not any more - right - I really meant the old ones...
[01:15] <Reval> I wish they'd had that in the instructions, that's simple!
[01:15] <thoreauputic> Mez: fair point ;)
[01:15] <Mez> lol
[01:15] <Reval> ctrl alt arrows is great, thank you very much!
[01:15] <Breaks> Reval, indeed it is :)
[01:16] <wizo> no one else has any ideas?
[01:16] <morgs^^> thoreauputic, yeah ... installed gv4l and helixplayer
[01:16] <morgs^^> thoreauputic, and realplayer
[01:16] <Reval> if you guys are in the whole development thing for this, as a pretty average joe I'd recommend putting that tidbit in the instructions of the program somewhere, I couldn't find it, heh.
[01:16] <thoreauputic> morgs^^: helix and real shouldn't matter
[01:16] <Breaks> Reval, did you search the forums?
[01:16] <Breaks> isnt it on there somewhere?
[01:17] <thoreauputic> morgs^^: I don't even know what gv4l is though :)
[01:17] <Breaks> or was here your first choice
[01:17] <wizo> i tried doing sudo apt-get install samba-common but it says samba-common is already the newest version.
[01:17] <hit3k> Reval, Did you use google?
[01:17] <Reval> Breaks: I didn't think the website would have something that minute when the instructions given on the actual application didn't.
[01:17] <thoreauputic> morgs^^: usually when this happens it's becuse your sources list is wrong
[01:17] <bachstudies> ompaul, sorry about that...i just downloaded the three files using firefox...and when i try to open the .deb packages it says that the archive is not supported
[01:17] <thoreauputic> *because
[01:18] <Breaks> Reval, the forums have alot of minute things on them, its always a good idea to have a ganders there also :)
[01:18] <thoreauputic> bachstudies: you don't "open" debs - you install them :)
[01:18] <bachstudies> thoreauputic, how do i install them?
[01:19] <obontu> hello, i'm using breezy on an amd athlon, i just installed the k7 kernel, how do i start ubuntu with the k7 kernel?
[01:19] <thoreauputic> bachstudies:  are they on your desktop?
[01:19] <bachstudies> yes
[01:19] <morgs^^> thoreauputic, ive removed some sources ... by looking for broken files ... isit just filters and check the broken tab ?
[01:19] <thoreauputic> bachstudies: OK  do   sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/nameoffile.deb
[01:19] <ompaul> bachstudies, in a terminal dpkg -i yada.deb
[01:20] <obontu> ??
[01:20] <ompaul> bachstudies, as thoreauputic said sudo :-)
[01:20] <ats> !javadeb
[01:20] <ubotu> [javadeb]  for sun java debs packaged for ubuntu, Install from http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/bpxbf (Breezy)
[01:20] <ompaul> obontu, reboot
[01:20] <obontu> and that's it?
[01:20] <obontu> i don't have to do anything else?
[01:21] <thoreauputic> morgs^^: erm - I suggest you try   sudo apt-get -f install and see if apt can  clear up your mess for you
[01:21] <ompaul> obontu, did you use just the kernel or the meta package? i.e. what was the name of that which you installed
[01:21] <Reval> Breaks: I found the forums, I'm smart, but at the same time, I'm stupid, heh.  I bookmarked it though, I'll look there first next time.  Thanks again =)
[01:21] <wizo> how do u restart samba
[01:21] <Juhaz> Reval, if by program, you mean the workspace switcher applet, it's probably not mentioned in there because strictly speaking they aren't connected to each other, you could still use those keys even if that pager wasn't being used
[01:21] <thoreauputic> morgs^^: that's just   sudo apt-get -f install
[01:21] <obontu> i dunno
[01:21] <Reval> aah, I see
[01:21] <NutterUK> can someone help me install a lexmark printer. dont know where to start
[01:21] <thoreauputic> no arguments to the command
[01:21] <wizo> oh well, dun worry
[01:21] <obontu> i just grabbed the k7 kernel package from synaptic
[01:21] <obontu> and everything that came along with it
[01:22] <Reval> Juhaz: thanks =)
[01:22] <thoreauputic> morgs^^: but I suspect your sources list is broken
[01:22] <bachstudies> ompaul, thanks so much for all your help...it seems like everything has installed ok and my system is up to date....conclusions - the files on gb.archive.ubuntu are obviously ok but the headers used by apt-get etc must be corrupt. Does that seem plausible?
[01:22] <obontu> it just said it found a new kernel, and i should restart
[01:22] <Juhaz> Reval, it is mentioned in the desktop user guide, though
[01:22] <morgs^^> well synaptic wants to clean it all up, but it wasnts to remove everything from apt to openofice
[01:22] <ompaul> obontu, then its reboot time
[01:23] <obontu> how do i change my default movie player? totem's giving me nothing but trouble
[01:23] <bachstudies> thoreauputic, thanks for that info...everything appears to be ok now!
[01:23] <ompaul> bachstudies, anything is possible
[01:23] <Juhaz> Reval, and if you by any chance want to list (and change) other "global" keyboard shortcuts, take a look at preferences->keyboard shortcuts
[01:23] <wizo> thoreauputic: would u have any idea why my samba doesnt install in synaptic even though i haf the latest version of samba-common ?
[01:23] <thoreauputic> morgs^^: paste your /etc/apt/sources.list file to a pastebin
[01:23] <obontu> i wanna use vlc instead, i know i can right click and choose "open with vlc" but is there a way to change the default player?
[01:23] <Reval> Juhaz I really respect that you guys are here for this stuff, and I don't want to take up your time if I can find the information.  Is there a general manual or something of that nature for ex windows users?
[01:23] <thoreauputic> wizo not from what you said, no
[01:23] <wizo> thoreauputic: -sigh- thanks
[01:24] <wizo> really wanna share my files so i can make use of my housemates speakers
[01:24] <wizo> lol
[01:24] <Reval> Juhaz: I'm going to check out the forums soon before asking any further questions, but if there's a basic thing with the information that I'm just missing, that'd help me without taking up your time.  Maybe soon I'll be able to help out with this too =)
[01:24] <bachstudies> ompaul, thanks again. Bye...
[01:24] <morgs^^> thoreauputic...excuse me sounding dumb .... whats a pastebin ?
[01:25] <thoreauputic> wizo: you haven't given enough info for a diagnosis :)
[01:25] <ompaul> bacam, cheers
[01:25] <thoreauputic> !paste
[01:25] <ubotu> well, paste is please use http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/ or #flood to paste large amounts of text

[01:25] <lenin> hi to all. how i can to resize my desktop to 1280 x ??? i had no option on system-->preferences
[01:25] <wizo> thoreauputic: well, when i do sudo apt-get install samba i get the error samba: Depends: samba-common (= 3.0.10-1ubuntu3) but 3.0.14a-3ubuntu3~5.04ubp1 is to be installed
[01:26] <wizo> but upon checking my samba-common in synaptic under versio, it displays 3.0.14a-3ubuntu3~5.04ubp1
[01:26] <thoreauputic> wizo: where did you get your apt sources from?
[01:26] <wizo> erm, ubuntu guide

[01:27] <thoreauputic> how appropriate...
[01:27] <wizo> thoreauputic: =/
[01:27] <thoreauputic> wizo:  don't use ubuntuguide, please
[01:27] <wizo> ok
[01:27] <ompaul> wizo the ubuntu guide is to put it politely wrong in lots of places
[01:27] <nikken> guides are for windows :=)

[01:28] <wizo> thoreauputic: so what do u suggest i do?
[01:28] <Recyclable> hello guys

[01:36] <nikken> hehe
[01:36] <Krul> !livecd
[01:36] <ubotu> I guess livecd is useful for playing with or trying out (k)ubuntu without installing it or making any changes to your system. grab one from the download page at http://www.ubuntulinux.org or request via ship-it.
[01:36] <[dEvIL-bOY] > hey peeps

[01:37] <paolob> Hi guys! I successfully installed edubuntu. When installing the first client, all is ok, the kernel boots, but when running system services, it fails when "calculating modules dependencies": "FATAL: could not open /lib/modules/2.6.12-9-386/modules.dep.temp for writing: Read-only file system". Any suggestion? thank you!
[01:37] <drakeoutlaw> so in breezy we have to edit the grub configuration by hand?
[01:38] <[dEvIL-bOY] > i'm not sure if i should use Native" acx100 Linux driver
[01:38] <[dEvIL-bOY] > or if it will be better to use ndiswrapper
[01:38] <[dEvIL-bOY] > can anyone tell me which one will work better/?
[01:38] <Recyclable> When I login to ubuntu, the chimes make a horrible grating noise, and then the whole thing locks up at the login screen, not even the mouse being able to move. Any ideas?
[01:38] <[dEvIL-bOY] > networking masters.....come on
[01:39] <drakeoutlaw> Recylable: System>Pref>sessions

[01:43] <robotgeek> [dEvIL-bOY] : i think u might need to use ndiswrapper for this one. atheros doesn't work even tho it shows up as a atheros device
[01:44] <Recyclable> robotgeek: how would igo about doing that? :/
[01:44] <robotgeek> Recyclable: select failsafe gnome from gdm menu
[01:44] <Recyclable> omay

[01:47] <[dEvIL-bOY] > hey by the way
[01:48] <[dEvIL-bOY] > hows your wireless configuration skills?
[01:48] <traveller> i just upgraded from hoary to breezy, whenever i try to access the internet the whole system locks up, does anybody know why is that?
[01:48] <robotgeek> [dEvIL-bOY] : decent
[01:48] <robotgeek> traveller: could you be more specific?
[01:48] <[dEvIL-bOY] > how long does it take you to configure a wireless card?
[01:48] <robotgeek> traveller: as in when you launch firefox
[01:48] <[dEvIL-bOY] > robotgeek,
[01:48] <robotgeek> [dEvIL-bOY] : depends on the card
[01:48] <[dEvIL-bOY] > is yours built in the machine?
[01:48] <traveller> robotgeek: like when i try to ping, apt-get or anything network related
[01:48] <hit3k> traveller, I had the same problem once.
[01:49] <traveller> it just hangs
[01:49] <robotgeek> [dEvIL-bOY] : i have an pcmcia card
[01:49] <[dEvIL-bOY] > did you use ndiswrapper or native linux drivers?
[01:49] <robotgeek> [dEvIL-bOY] : i am on ppc, the drivers for my card are Gpl'ed
[01:50] <traveller> [dEvIL-bOY] : i'm using acx_pci module, a netgear card using texas instruments chipset
[01:50] <drakeoutlaw> traveller: have you tried completely powering off the machine before rebooting?
[01:50] <[dEvIL-bOY] > hummm
[01:50] <Recyclable> it didn't work
[01:50] <traveller> drakeoutlaw: yes, no luck
[01:50] <[dEvIL-bOY] > i have read the acx how to
[01:50] <[dEvIL-bOY] > but it sounds so complicated
[01:50] <[dEvIL-bOY] > ndiswrapper sounds a lot easier but i can't get it to work
[01:50] <nikken> what is the command to create new users in text mode?
[01:50] <Recyclable> i couldn't find the mode :/
[01:51] <Recyclable> wasn't there :/
[01:51] <robotgeek> Recyclable: option was not there in sessions? in the gdm login screen?
[01:51] <_jason> nikken:  man adduser; i don't know the options
[01:51] <drakeoutlaw> adduser
[01:52] <hit3k> Hmm
[01:52] <drakeoutlaw> or rather sudo adduser
[01:52] <Recyclable> robotgeek: i'm shit at this, where the flange do i find the gdm login?
[01:52] <nikken> jason: ok, thanks m8ty
[01:52] <Recyclable> (yes i'm too noob for skool)
[01:52] <_jason> nikken:  np
[01:53] <traveller> sometimes it would access the network for some time before freezing, sometimes it freezes upon access to network
[01:53] <traveller> what kind of a problem could that be?
[01:53] <mfinch> I am trying to follow the instructions on installing the macromedia flash plugin that I think is in "restricted".  However, Synaptic (and apt) get errors when I add the "ubuntu breezy-backports" source and binary.  Does anyone know of a workaround?
[01:53] <robotgeek> Recyclable: when you login, you should basically get a screen. if you are using the ubuntu default, i think F9 or F10 brings it up
[01:53] <hit3k> "too noob for school" Recyclable mind if I steal that?
[01:53] <Recyclable> heh if you want :)
[01:53] <robotgeek> mfinch: there are no breezy-backports
[01:54] <Recyclable> robotgeek: when i log in, it shows the ubuntu logo, then totally locks up. i can't move the mouse or anything
[01:54] <robotgeek> Recyclable: before entering your username and password?
[01:54] <JTHM> wut is a video conversion program for ubuntu/linux
[01:55] <robotgeek> Recyclable: hit either F9/10 at the screen where u enter your username & password
[01:56] <robotgeek> JTHM: editing program is kino, i dunno about conversion
[01:57] <JTHM> robotgeek well thxs anywyas, i need it for mpeg4, stupid picky psp
[01:57] <robotgeek> JTHM: i think it might be possible with mplayer, or mencoder or something like that
[01:57] <JTHM> ill look at that
[01:58] <fungi> hey is there a way to change or turn off the gui effect when a window is minimised ?
[01:58] <Recyclable> k robot
[01:59] <robotgeek> Recyclable: works?
[01:59] <Recyclable> brb
[01:59] <fungi> the minimise effect is kinda laggy on my pc and looks bad
[01:59] <tz> pls explain your problem i need the detials
[01:59] <Recyclable> i'm just about to reboot and try :)P
[01:59] <robotgeek> fungi: are you using kde or gnome?
[01:59] <fungi> gnome
[01:59] <tz> i am using the gnome
[01:59] <ETSME> gnome
[02:00] <tz> so what is the problem?
[02:00] <clast> hi everyone, is there a way to restore the original settings of the fonts in ubuntu? 'cause it seems like some of my font settings are kinda messed up!
[02:00] <fungi> yer when i minimise the window is animated and shrinks down to the task bar
[02:00] <robotgeek> clast: i don't know if this will help, but try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure font-config'
[02:01] <fungi> i want the window to just minimise and get outa my way without any fancy animations.. is that possible ?
[02:01] <ETSME> yeah me 2
[02:02] <clast> robotgeek, thx, but i already tried that one, didn't do me any good unfortuately
[02:02] <tz> i think it is possible
[02:02] <robotgeek> fungi: i think u might want to try System -> Preferences -> Windows
[02:02] <tz> wait a minute let me see
[02:02] <ian_> trying to create an audio CD, using Serpentine. When trying to add mp3 filess I get an error. "Unsupported File Type" Any Ideas?
[02:02] <ETSME> but there is nothing appropriate for minimizing windows fast
[02:02] <robotgeek> ian_: do u have a mp3 decoder
[02:02] <fungi> nah i get 'window selection' 'titlebar action' and 'movement key'
[02:03] <ian_> robotgeek: All I have is a fresh installation of Breezy, one is not included by default?
[02:03] <robotgeek> tz,fungi : i prefer to let each window have it's own virtual desktop. i don't use standard gnome, so i don't know
[02:03] <robotgeek> !tell ian_ about mp3
[02:03] <Toma-> can gnome or mount deal with multi-session cds?
[02:03] <fungi> http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/01/msg00895.html <- found solution
[02:04] <fungi> thats k robotgeek
[02:04] <fungi> peace
[02:04] <ian_> robotgeek: Thanks.
[02:04] <ximian> Hi Ubunters!
[02:04] <tz> yeah
[02:04] <dooglus> what's a good way to find out how much you have downloaded in ubuntu?
[02:04] <ximian> When will ubuntuguide.org be updated?
[02:05] <robotgeek> !ubuntuguide
[02:05] <ubotu> hmm... ubuntuguide is out of date, breaks PCs and doesn't explain anything. The official FAQ Guide, which is based on ubuntuguide is the help menu in Breezy. For more information see !faq.
[02:05] <BeGu> lol
[02:05] <ximian> breaks PCs?
[02:05] <Mabus06> !restrictedformats
[02:05] <ubotu> [restrictedformats]  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats or 'codecs'
[02:06] <ximian> I've never seen that
[02:07] <ximian> I liked it: was fast and effective - and you can search explanations on forums, mail.list, google and irc
[02:07] <ximian> you don't like ubuntuguide?
[02:07] <drummer87> anyone here use lirc?? is it possible to use my remote as a pointing device, ie. to move the cursor around and click etc.?
[02:08] <_jason> ximian:  if you lookover the faq you'll notice it is very similar to ubuntuguide but provides the explanations with the instructions
[02:08] <ximian> _jason, I've already checked that
[02:08] <ximian> but it seems to stick with the absolute-GPL way
[02:08] <Juhaz> ximian, if you're a kind of people that understands to search explanations on forums, mailing lists, google and irc, yeah it probably doesn't break anything since you kind of understand what you're doing
[02:09] <Juhaz> ximian, same isn't necessarily true for someone who is blindly following it
[02:09] <ETSME> do you need to update ubuntu like windows from windowsupdate.com ?
[02:09] <ximian> whereas most people would need the working way
[02:09] <_jason> ETSME:  ubuntu will tell you when it needs updates
[02:09] <ian_> !mp3
[02:09] <ubotu> hmm... mp3 is a non-free format. Restricted formats' installation instructions can be found on the RestrictedFormats page of the wiki - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats - click away:)
[02:09] <ETSME> is there any website of it as well from where i can download the latest fixes
[02:09] <ETSME> ok
[02:09] <ximian> I mean GPL flash plugin has more bugs than Macromedia Flash pluign
[02:09] <moccah> !wma
[02:10] <_jason> ETSME:  nope, updatemanager will take care of it for you.  A little red icon will apear in your system tray
[02:10] <ubotu> from memory, restricted is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats ; also see !javadebs (for sun-java debs) and !w32codecs
[02:10] <moccah> !w32codecs
[02:10] <ubotu> it has been said that w32codecs is a set of audio/video codecs for DVD-Video. To download the debs: http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/bpxbf (Breezy).  For 64-bit read: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=54399
[02:10] <ximian> or Blackdown Java refuses to cooperate with my netbank
[02:10] <ETSME> you mean in top window right ?
[02:10] <drummer87> ETSME, no website, update0manager will pop up in the panel (little red dot) when there's updates available
[02:10] <ximian> while Sun Java does
[02:10] <_jason> ETSME:  next to the clock
[02:10] <drummer87> *update-manager
[02:10] <ETSME> great
[02:10] <ximian> ubuntuguide's way was more useable for me than the new help.ubuntu.com
[02:11] <robotgeek> ximian: as long as you understand it, it's fine.
[02:11] <ETSME> it says a new version of kernel is installed, we strongly recommend that you restart your window ! what is this
[02:12] <robotgeek> ETSME: your kernel was updated, you may restart if you want to :)
[02:12] <ETSME> ok
[02:12] <_jason> imian:  I think the problem arises when people completely new to linux and CLI use it and just copy and paste.  Not understanding or learning anything.
[02:13] <ximian> _jason, I've learned Pascal just by copy-paste from the help files :)
[02:13] <LeeJunFan> _jason: agreed, which is why the answer to everything should either start with 'man' or be a link :)
[02:13] <ETSME> well its my first time on LINUX
[02:13] <ETSME> and after 5 trys i finally managed to run ubuntu pretty much smoothly
[02:14] <point> regardless of where the text is ( chat room, website or man pages ) it's still reading.
[02:14] <ximian> _jason, I don't think people are that stupid (maybe just M$ is suggesting that they are)
[02:15] <LeeJunFan> point: yeah, but it's like the old saying about teaching a person to farm vs giving them food...
[02:15] <ETSME> now one thing more, can i make this ubuntu 5.10 the network gateway, cause i have only one internet link through this computer and i want to share it with other computers on the network, any help in that will be appreciated
[02:16] <zakame> LeeJunFan: I believe it was about fish :)
[02:16] <ximian> has anybody met problems with USB pendrives under Breezy?
[02:16] <robotgeek> alrite, later ppls!
[02:16] <moccah> !usb
[02:16] <ubotu> moccah: I give up, what is it?
[02:16] <ximian> ocassionally I get corrupted files on it
[02:16] <ximian> after unmounting of course
[02:16] <ETSME> robotgeek wait, just one question
[02:16] <Mabus06> ximian, LeeJunFan, _jason ..... what's even worse than that is experienced users who downtalk people who are new for asking questions here... they will learn linux in time
[02:17] <LeeJunFan> Mabus06: I'm not downtalking the people who are trying to learn, I'm just hoping they'll get answers that will help them actually learn.
[02:18] <Ragol> hi, I can't compile kde 3.5 from svn nor amarok from svn after upgrading from hoary->breezy
[02:18] <Ragol> here's the error msg of make
[02:18] <LeeJunFan> Mabus06: the answer should include some "why" along with the "how".
[02:18] <Ragol> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3864
[02:18] <Mabus06> LeeJunFan, new linux users are overwhelmed with things non-windows
[02:18] <Ragol> after doing some searching, it seems that there was libXcursor.la file in hoary, but not in breezy
[02:18] <Ragol> any ideas?
[02:18] <ximian> LeeJunFan, I think Linux is - yeah really - too complex for a person to understand it fast; however most people like fast success or they give up
[02:18] <Ragol> libxrender is another problematic library
[02:18] <Arinux> but linux rocks
[02:19] <apokryphos> Ragol: what is this on the compile of specifically?
[02:19] <Mabus06> when I was a linux virgin, people were trying to explain to me complex things when I was trying to figure to figure out how to copy files
[02:19] <Arinux> i am new to it slowly i am learning to use it
[02:19] <point> LeeJunFan, i'll admit that asking for help in a chat room is 'the easy way' but 'person to person' is all some people can rely on, to learn. Giving them food? they know how to read, and thats all they need. So in order to 'give them food' they have ot know 'how to farm' in order to mkae use of it.
[02:19] <LeeJunFan> Mabus06: well, that's a bit assnine. I wouldn't suggest teaching people about inodes when they ask how to copy a file :)
[02:20] <Arinux> lol
[02:20] <Ragol> apokryphos: some more lines at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3865
[02:20] <Ragol> apokryphos: is this enough?
[02:20] <Mabus06> Well I came here asking howtoget my geforce working.
[02:20] <Ragol> or do you need more info?
[02:20] <Mabus06> And they're like... ave you tried running the apt-get blah blah or recompiling the thingamajig...
[02:20] <apokryphos> Ragol: that's fine. There doesn't seem to be a package in ubuntu that brings in that library. Hm
[02:21] <Ragol> apokryphos: yeah... I've noticed that
[02:21] <Ragol> in hoary there was, but not in breezy
[02:21] <moccah> !wmv
[02:21] <ubotu> it has been said that restricted is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats ; also see !javadebs (for sun-java debs) and !w32codecs
[02:21] <Ragol> is it bug or feature?
[02:21] <rob^^^> http://planet.freedesktop.org/ <- is anyone else getting garbage?
[02:21] <apokryphos> Ragol: it should ideally come in libxcursor-dev
[02:21] <Ragol> apokryphos: that's where it came in hoary
[02:21] <LeeJunFan> Mabus06: I won't be much help there myself, my last grfx cards have all been ATI for years in my lappy's.
[02:22] <Ragol> rob^^^: everything seems fine for me
[02:22] <MaTaKs> is there any other mp3 player than xmms, cause my xmms got an error it cannot be open.
[02:22] <Mabus06> LeeJunFan, nobody was... I gave up
[02:22] <LeeJunFan> rob^^^: looks fine here.
[02:22] <apokryphos> Ragol: might be worth just grabbing the .la and placing it inside usr/lib
[02:22] <rob^^^> Ragol: in the source view it loks fine but the first title is "3KIS<IJQXUT0:;$9$
[02:22] <tiefox> how can i share a printer in ubutun via cups?
[02:22] <Ragol> apokryphos: yeah, but how I can make that file?
[02:22] <moccah> MaTaKs, bmp is a nice player:D
[02:23] <apokryphos> Ragol: grab the hoary pack, then just take the .la from there
[02:23] <MaTaKs> moccah, is that a mp3 player?
[02:23] <moccah> MaTaKs, yepp, Beep Media Player
[02:23] <MaTaKs> moccah, thnx man
[02:23] <Ragol> apokryphos: oh, okay... I'll try that
[02:23] <Ragol> rob^^^: not for me... but "ymmv" as usual :)
[02:23] <moccah> hmm, how can i play *wmv in firefox?
[02:24] <tz> pls help me how to run windows programe in ubuntu
[02:24] <_jason> ubotu:  tell moccah about w32codecs
[02:24] <tz> using what software?
[02:24] <moccah> _jason, i`ve installed the w32codecs..
[02:24] <_jason> moccah:  try mplayer-plugin, that is what I use
[02:24] <tz> also i have problem with the mplayer play the wmv
[02:24] <moccah> ok
[02:25] <_jason> tz:  have you installed w32codecs?
[02:25] <tz> yes
[02:25] <_jason> tz:  and what exactly is the problem? does it play at all?
[02:25] <LeeJunFan> moccah: yeah, apt-get install mplayerplug-in
[02:26] <MaTaKs> moccah, dude is this the one .. "bmp-mp4 - a mp4/aac audio player for bmp"
[02:26] <tz> but it seems that the mplayer can not decode my wmv file
[02:26] <Recyclable> erm, geek: it did the same thing
[02:26] <tz> it says that too many buffer in the memory
[02:26] <dooglus> tz: if it's a DRM protected wmv file then mplayer can't play it I don't think
[02:26] <Recyclable> i log in and it still does it
[02:26] <tz> ok, i know
[02:26] <tz> thanks
[02:27] <tz> i remember i have the same problem under winxp
[02:28] <moccah> MaTaKs, http://www.sosdg.org/~larne/w/BMP_Homepage
[02:28] <LeeJunFan> sometimes in linux we just have to deal with things like that when someone chooses to offer a file in a format that's controlled by a company who fears linux will put them out of business some day, of course they don't care that wmv files won't play well on linux, and they are happy about it.
[02:28] <moccah> LeeJunFan, got the plug-in installed, but the wmv video`s doesn`t play..
[02:29] <Recyclable> right, third try lucky: when i log into ubuntu, it gets halfway through the chimes, then makes a really loud painful grating/rasping sound, and then goes silent, and everything is frozen. Sometimes there's odd graphical things also. Ideas?
[02:29] <MaTaKs> kool.. bmp is like xmms :)
[02:29] <tz> ok, so how to run programe which is the exe file
[02:31] <BeGu> exe files are for windows?
[02:31] <Mabus06> what's a good p2p downloading program for linux?
[02:31] <LeeJunFan> you can download mplayer codecs here http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/dload.html, grab the all codecs file and unzip it and put the files in /usr/lib/win32, if it doesn't support it then it's just not going to until someone fixes it.
[02:31] <tz> dooglus, how to run the windows programe with the exe extension
[02:31] <Mabus06> bittorent is a good service to download large things like games, but it seems pretty bad for downloading music
[02:31] <BeGu> Mabus06, maybe you can try valknut
[02:31] <kokoko> Hi - this is a different question, but could anyone please tell me the English meaning of the Portuguese word "fodo" ?  Muito obrigado!
[02:31] <Mabus06> thanks, I will BeGu
[02:32] <apokryphos> kokoko: this is -offtopic
[02:32] <Mabus06> kokoko: dictionary.com/translate
[02:32] <Mabus06> And apokryphos, thanks for pointing out the obvious. ;-)
[02:32] <_jason> kokoko:  does not sound "nice"
[02:33] <davix> I'm looking for software which can teach me math from the basics and up for linux, any ideas?
[02:33] <kokoko> sorry, folks, thought this was a brazilian channel.  will check the url, thanks.
[02:33] <apokryphos> Mabus06: obvious is required sometimes, evidently.
[02:34] <MaTaKs> need help my volume control dissapear on my try, why is that?
[02:34] <dooglus> tz: 'wine' runs windows .exe files
[02:34] <nuck> something horrible happened to me... my ubuntu install refused to logon so i had to reinstall the whole lot
[02:34] <nuck> shit happens in the worst of times
[02:35] <nuck> i lost everything
[02:35] <BeGu> so where's the horrible part ? :)
[02:35] <Mabus06> including your sense of manners? no swearing please nuck
[02:35] <tz> nuck,tell us the details of your problem ?
[02:36] <ptlo> nuck, i hate to tell you this now, but you could've probably solved the problem without the reinstall
[02:36] <nuck> you mean sh*t part? oh i thought that was something everyones used to... i don't go beyond that like the f word
 right, third try lucky: when i log into ubuntu, it gets halfway through the chimes, then makes a really loud painful grating/rasping sound, and then goes silent, and everything is frozen. Sometimes there's odd graphical things also. Ideas?
[02:36] <Mabus06> >I< don't care, nuck.
[02:36] <Mabus06> But people lynched me for saying the c-variant of that word.
[02:36] <nuck> Mabus06 its cool man take it easy
[02:37] <nuck> ptlo i was still able to logon but only text mode and i cant access my files...
[02:37] <nuck> so i decided to reinstall
[02:37] <tz> you can start the xserver in text mode
[02:37] <nuck> does anyone know if kdevelop is compatible with Ubuntu 5.04? i dont want the same thing to happen again
[02:37] <tz> nuck,i think you enter the rescue mode
[02:38] <nuck> i was told kdevelop comes with ubuntu install cd but i cant find it using synaptic
[02:38] <tz> why not using the gnome?
[02:38] <nuck> tz was that for me?
[02:39] <nuck> what do you mean gnome? is it a IDE?
[02:39] <michael__> hello folks! using u5.10 i can access my win2003srv shares; i can copy to and from, no problem, but i seem unable to read files directly from the shares, eg: i can copy a pdf from my server to my ubuntu client to view it, but i cannot view directly from the share. can anybody shed some light on that please?
[02:39] <tz> yes it is a diffrent ide but just like kde
[02:39] <Riddell> nuck: it's not on the CD but it's in universe and works great
[02:40] <ptlo> nuck, GNOME and KDE are GUI's for Ubuntu (and Linux and Unix in general). Gnome is default in Ubuntu (and you get that in your installation CD), KDE is default in KUbuntu. KDevelop is part of the KDE environment
[02:40] <nuck> Ridell what universe? please no joke answer
 right, third try lucky: when i log into ubuntu, it gets halfway through the chimes, then makes a really loud painful grating/rasping sound, and then goes silent, and everything is frozen. Sometimes there's odd graphical things also. Ideas?
[02:40] <tz> when you install ubuntu 5.10 release if you select the default options you will get the gnome installed
[02:40] <nuck> im using 5.04
[02:40] <Recyclable> some help would be nice :)
[02:41] <moccah> hmm, how can i set that MPlayer should handle wmv files, and not the Totem player?
[02:41] <aeon17x> !usb
[02:41] <ubotu> aeon17x: NO SPEAKE ENLISH!
[02:41] <BeGu> :DD
[02:41] <davix> I'm looking for software which can teach me math from the basics and up for linux, any ideas?
[02:41] <tz> i think the ide is no different between the 5.04 and the 5.10
[02:41] <_jason> moccah:  just right click on a wmv file and go to properties
[02:41] <moccah> in firefox that is;)
[02:42] <anto9us> michael__, you need to set up local mounts for the shares, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com//SettingUpSamba
[02:42] <justme> Howdy.
[02:42] <_jason> moccah:  you using 1.5b2 by any chance? it's in perfs -> downloads -> actions... if not should be similar for 1.0.7
[02:42] <michael__> anto9us, thank you for your tip! i appreciate it!
[02:43] <ptlo> nuck, in synaptic go to Preferences -> Repositories, click on Add and mark "Community maintained (universe)" repository, then click on Ok
[02:43] <Coweater> nuck: you need to set up apt to pull from universe and it'll show up in synaptic, edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:43] <anto9us> yw
[02:43] <Coweater> that sounds easier
[02:43] <ptlo> nuck, that will enable the "universe" repositories (no joke there, that's the official name. you should hear what the maintainers are called >:-)
[02:44] <ptlo> nuck, after you do that, you should be able to find kdevelop in synaptic
[02:44] <nuck> ptlo Coweater do i need to do both your suggestions or just the synaptic?
[02:44] <Coweater> just go with ptlo's
[02:45] <ptlo> nuck, just the synaptic
[02:45] <nuck> i mean do i also have to edit sources.list? the las time i did that it screwed my system big time
[02:45] <Coweater> synaptic will handle the editing the way he's said
[02:45] <nuck> ptlo Coweater ok thanks ill try that and come back if have problems
[02:45] <ptlo> ok good luck
[02:47] <xophEr> I cant install 'FAM', dependency problem? It wants me to remove about everything..
[02:47] <nuck> i just wanna know when i changed the preferences repo did it change my sources.list as side effect?
[02:47] <ptlo> yes
[02:47] <micampe> hello
[02:48] <ptlo> nuck, changing the repos in preferences is just a nice graphical way of editing sources.list (and you have less chance of messing things up by accident)
[02:49] <Earthen> can anyone help me with running a programe from command line
[02:49] <nuck> ptlo right thats what i thought. :-) umm im expecting package kdevelop to have the name kdevelop under Development (universe) but its not there
[02:49] <Earthen> trying to install Xerox printer driver
[02:49] <ptlo> nuck hmm i'm not sure under which section it is, try searching it (there's a search button on the toolbar)
[02:50] <ccooke> nuck: try 'kdevelop3'
[02:50] <Earthen> ./setup doesn't seems to work
[02:51] <Earthen> and setup has run permission
[02:51] <titanium_> if i have a standalone binary, should it go in /usr/bin or usr/sbin?
[02:52] <paolob> Hi guys! I keep having problems with edubuntu y a thin client. The client boots the kernel, fails starting some service (for example "calculating modules dependencies) because of a "Read-only file system", and when it presents the graphical login screen, it doesn't log in: Any user/password I put, it reiniciate gdm. Any hint? Thank you!
[02:53] <nuck> ccooke yes that s what i chose im gonna disconnect soon cuz synaptic download requires 40MB and i only got 30MB left in my quota
[02:53] <nuck> tsk tsk sad sad life
[02:54] <MaTaKs> is there any shortcut keys on ubuntu just like on windows, when i press the windows icon it  opens the start.
[02:55] <nuck> ill make the most of it so how do i configure so that i have a common disk space for a dual boot (Ubuntu/XP) system? thanks
[02:55] <cappiz> somenoe here knows of a firewall aplication liek jay's fireall that supports IP aliases ?
[02:55] <_jason> MaTaKs:  do you mean the shortcuts like in prefs->keyboard shortcuts?
[02:55] <MaTaKs> _jason, yes
[02:55] <PuGz> hey guys
[02:55] <mjr> nuck, you probably want to have a common vfat partition for data
[02:55] <_jason> MaTaKs:  those are the only I know about, you can edit that to your hearts content or just read it over to see what is available
[02:55] <ProN00b> where is my wine config file located ?
[02:56] <PuGz> i installed skype with dpkg -i skype....deb and i got the following: skype depends on libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.3.3.2); however:
[02:56] <PuGz>   Package libqt3c102-mt is not installed.
[02:56] <PuGz> now whenever i use aptitude it wants to remove skype
[02:56] <MaTaKs> what does 0xb0 means, what button is that
[02:56] <PuGz> but skype seems to be functioning correctly
[02:56] <johnm> PuGz: then you want to installthe deb for libqt3c102-mt
[02:56] <rockag> PuGz, this is a known issue
[02:56] <PuGz> ^^
[02:56] <MaTaKs> im not familiar with linux, im just a new user
[02:56] <moccah> PuGz, if you try downloading the src it will be ok;)
[02:56] <PuGz> but skype works fine!
[02:56] <PuGz> i just want aptitude to shut up
[02:57] <rockag> pugz,  also downloading the .rpm and converting using alien will work
[02:57] <ProN00b> where is my wine config file located ?
[02:57] <ubunty> hi all
[02:57] <ubunty> dunno
[02:57] <rockag> pugz, its just a dependency issue, uninstall your current one, get the rpm and convert
[02:57] <ubunty> yea
[02:57] <PuGz> rockag: but dpkg gave that error, but installed skype anyway. now aptitude wants to remove it... but using skype works fine... so can i just tell dpkg to shutup?
[02:57] <rockag> no... i had this exact issue
[02:57] <PuGz> rockag: ok... will get the rpm
[02:58] <rockag> it works because the package it is complaining about is their, but under a different name in ubuntu
[02:58] <rockag> you know how to convert the rpm right?
[02:58] <PuGz> which rpm? suse, mandrake or fedora?
[02:58] <PuGz> rockag: yeah... alien
 right, third try lucky: when i log into ubuntu, it gets halfway through the chimes, then makes a really loud painful grating/rasping sound, and then goes silent, and everything is frozen. Sometimes there's odd graphical things also. Ideas?
[02:59] <PuGz> rockag: so there is no way to tell dpkg to not worry about skype any more?
[02:59] <PuGz> since it works
[02:59] <rockag> no, unfortunately
[02:59] <qt2> sure there is.
[02:59] <rockag> it should be fixed in the next skype version though, its just the way they packaged the .deb
[02:59] <PuGz> qt2: yes?
[02:59] <qt2> just repackage skype. o.O;
[02:59] <rockag> lol
[02:59] <MaTaKs> _jason, where can i find volume control?, my volume control icon dissapears on the try
[02:59] <PuGz> qt2: oh... hehe
[02:59] <rockag> It's harder than it sounds
[02:59] <qt2> PuGz, i can send you there repackaged skype if you like.
[03:00] <qt2> repackaged it myself.
[03:00] <_jason> MaTaKs:  the panel applet?
[03:00] <rockag> qt2...
[03:00] <PuGz> qt2: sounds good!
[03:00] <rockag> does your version take ages to start up?
[03:00] <PuGz> yes
[03:00] <qt2> rockag, nope, not really.
[03:00] <MaTaKs> hmmm, dunno
[03:00] <rockag> the rpm doesnt, but even a repackaged deb does
[03:00] <rockag> for me at least
[03:00] <MaTaKs> before it's in the right side of the tray
[03:01] <Earthen> has anyone installed Xerox printer driver from the Xerox website
[03:01] <rockag> someone posted the repackaged on the ubuntu forums, and it still takes ages to start up
[03:01] <MaTaKs> but now it's gone i don't no why i didn't do anythng
[03:01] <Discipulus> what does /usr/sbin/hpiod do?
[03:01] <_jason> MaTaKs:  it is a panel applet, not sure why it disappeared.  Just right click on the panel and add applet, then look for volume control
[03:01] <PuGz> qt2: how would u send it to me?
[03:01] <MaTaKs> ok
[03:01] <qt2> PuGz, via a dcc send... o.O;
[03:01] <PuGz> qt2: oh... dcc... how to enable irssi to accept dcc?
[03:01] <qt2> ...no idea. :D
[03:02] <PuGz> hehe
[03:02] <MaTaKs> _jason, i found the volume control and add it, thnx :)
[03:02] <PuGz> qt2: /dcc get
[03:03] <PuGz> qt2: what irc chat client are you using?
[03:04] <qt2> PuGz, x-chat
[03:04] <adeen> hi, does anyone have any tricks to get lower latency when working with midi sequencing in Breezy?
[03:04] <qt2> PuGz, there, your send should speed up quite a bit now.
[03:04] <hexakt> adeen, check out www.agnula.org
[03:05] <adeen> thx hexakt
[03:05] <PuGz> qt2: what did you do?
[03:05] <MaTaKs> is there a shortcut keys on the application menu? like on windows just pressing the windows icons it opens the menu.
[03:06] <qt2> PuGz, stopped my uploading on other things? ;)
[03:06] <PuGz> qt2: cool
[03:07] <qt2> PuGz, just be sure to uninstall the old skype before you isntall the new one ;)
[03:07] <PuGz> qt2: yeah... all good
[03:08] <PuGz> qt2: cheers for that... its works... it still takes ages to load though... could be the fact that i am running gnome and not kde though
[03:08] <Welly> whats a really simple way of connecting to another machine on my network that doesn't have ssh installed?
[03:08] <PuGz> qt2: when i say ages, i mean 10 seconds
[03:08] <Welly> i can't telnet to it either
[03:08] <Welly> running out of options i suppose
[03:08] <_jason> MaTaKs:  this may be of interest to you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=50794
[03:08] <PuGz> rockag: it still took 10 secs to load... just so you know
[03:08] <dabaR> how come when I want to install kubuntu-desktop it installs less packages than when I select to install kde?
[03:08] <rockag> pugz that is what i was talking about
[03:08] <MaTaKs> k i'll go check
[03:09] <qt2> PuGz, heh, there's ways to make skype look more gnomelike and have the proper fonts you know...
[03:09] <rockag> the rpm starts quick for me though :P
[03:09] <PuGz> meh... i am patient enough to wait 10 secs
[03:09] <qt2> rockag, 10 seconds is hardly "ages"...
[03:09] <qt2> personally i'd rather have a native deb package than a converted rpm.
[03:10] <PuGz> qt2: same
[03:10] <nubbe> How do I add a kb-shortcut to a taskbar-drawer?
[03:10] <irce> about mounting smb shares with fstab: the eaxct same line works with debian sarge but with ubuntu it gives smbfs: mount_data version 1936941424 is not supported
[03:11] <qt2> PuGz, would you be interested in making skype look more gnome-like?
[03:11] <irce> also i can surf smb shares with konqueror
[03:11] <rockag> that is fair enough, but when native works worse than an rpm i dont mind :P
[03:11] <eddd> Hi, is the Ubuntu resp for package manager down?
[03:11] <PuGz> qt2: meh... not really... probably takes much time
[03:11] <irce> weird
[03:11] <PuGz> qt2: i just want it working... it doesnt work with esd or arts... so i cant wait until the new versions come out with support for alsa
[03:12] <PuGz> qt2: thanks for that package though!
[03:12] <qt2> PuGz, only a few minutes actually.
[03:12] <PuGz> qt2: explain...
[03:12] <edddi3> Hi, is the Ubuntu resp for package manager down?
[03:12] <Welly> alright, i've reinstalled Ubuntu 5.10 on my athlon 64 machine with the i386 version. I'm STILL getting lock-up problems.. i can log in to the machine fine, but after it's logged in and before the desktop has loaded, the machine completely locks up
[03:13] <Welly> i've got logs available if anyone wants to take a look
[03:13] <[dEvIL-bOY] > Welly, that's not good
[03:13] <Welly> [dEvIL-bOY] , it isn't.. :( it's a completely fresh install
[03:14] <[dEvIL-bOY] > damn
[03:14] <Welly> someone suggested booting up with noinotify - didn't make any difference
[03:14] <[dEvIL-bOY] > i'm having problems as well, lost about 2 frecking days
[03:14] <[dEvIL-bOY] > try to put the wireless adapter to work
[03:14] <dabaR> edddi3: what?
[03:14] <[dEvIL-bOY] > and i installed a fresh copy of linux 5,.10
[03:14] <Welly> yeah.. it's a pain in the arse.. i've installed ubuntu on this machine and it worked perfect straight out of the box
[03:15] <edddi3> dabaR: I'm using the default gnome package manager and it gives me errors that the resps don't exist
[03:15] <dabaR> edddi3: are you talking about repos? paste your /etc/apt/sources.list file to pastebin
[03:16] <qt2> PuGz, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76633&
[03:16] <edddi3> dabaR: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3866 thats the errors I got

[03:16] <sherz> hi I have a question to serial ports I have an IBM T30 with a serial port it this automaticly /dev/ttyS0 or how can I check this ?
[03:16] <Mabus06> any help?
[03:17] <ColD_7> is there anyone who can help me?
[03:17] <Mabus06> be more specific, ColD_7
[03:17] <dabaR> edddi3: do sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list in a terminal, and paste that file to a pastebin, and do cat /etc/issue in a terminal, and tell me what that says.
[03:17] <dabaR> ColD_7: did you ask a question so we can answer?
[03:18] <ColD_7> i just switch to ubuntu, and i didn't get the sound card installed which in default was installed in window
[03:18] <edddi3> dabaR:  http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3867
[03:18] <qt2> PuGz, makes skype look a LOT less ugly.
[03:18] <ColD_7> how can i get the driver for it?
[03:18] <Mabus06> be more specific, ColD_7
[03:18] <Mabus06> as to what soundcard
[03:18] <ColD_7> ok
[03:18] <ColD_7> i am not too clear too
[03:19] <ColD_7> forgot already

[03:19] <morgs^^> This may render your system unusable!
[03:19] <ColD_7> and i just forgot how to check it out
[03:19] <Mabus06> check for it in device manager, ColD_7
[03:19] <Mabus06> controll panel
[03:20] <dabaR> edddi3: the other part of my question too, please.
[03:20] <jvai> sysstems-admin- device manager @ colD_7.. for sound card type
[03:20] <edddi3> admin@ool-18bc3654:~ $ cat /etc/issue
[03:20] <edddi3> Ubuntu 5.04 "Hoary Hedgehog" \n \l
[03:21] <ColD_7> what should i look for actually?
[03:21] <dabaR> ok, edddi3 dont use backports, you do not know how to use them. also, mirrormax is gone as that error is telling you,  404 is a not found error. put a # symbol on the beginning of the last two lines or even just erase them from your /etc/apt/sources.list file(in that gedit widow) and then save, close and update package list
[03:22] <edddi3> thanks dabaR, but where can I find a working resp? Does the Debian website have something like this?
[03:23] <ubuntu> ihi
[03:23] <ubuntu> hello
[03:23] <ubuntu> to everyone
[03:23] <meik> hi all
[03:23] <dabaR> edddi3: what are you calling a resp?
[03:23] <ColD_7> there is too much of it that i really don't know which one is the sound card
[03:23] <dabaR> edddi3: you get everything from ubuntu, not from debian.
[03:23] <ColD_7> is it AT-style speaker sound?
[03:23] <edddi3> like as in CVS
[03:24] <edddi3> a Resporitory
[03:24] <dabaR> repository is the word
[03:24] <morgs^^> if i delete apt? can i put it on again?  synatpic says a file is broken ?
[03:24] <nmsa> Hello
[03:24] <imintrouble> hey is there anyone that can help me
[03:24] <nmsa> I have tvtime with a SAA7130 Video Broadcat Decoder, and works fine, just that after I close tvtime I still can hear the voice of the broadcast
[03:24] <dabaR> morgs^^: paste all the errors you get, and explain ebtter, that is not a great explanation of the problem.
[03:24] <nmsa> I use Ubuntu Linux Hoary
[03:25] <nmsa> anyone with the same experience?
[03:25] <dabaR> edddi3: what do you want a repo for?
[03:25] <imintrouble> can someone tell me in ubunto if there is a way too get too a dos prompt
[03:25] <dabaR> your sources.list file had all relevant repositories enabled.
[03:25] <phinnaeus> gah amd64 is a pain
[03:25] <sordit> hi
[03:25] <dabaR> imintrouble: no, linux does not use dos, however, a terminal can be found in your apps menu,.
[03:25] <imintrouble> i need too get a dos prompt so i can work in my files
[03:25] <imintrouble> ok
[03:26] <edddi3> dabaR:  generally those open source tools and projects you get from the default package manager _reps_
[03:26] <selinium> imintrouble, do you mean a terminal
[03:26] <RIVANVX> imintrouble: CTRL + ALT + F1
[03:26] <PuGz> qt2: it looks nice
[03:26] <dabaR> edddi3: you have all the repos enabled in your file, remove that backport and reload the package list.
[03:26] <selinium> imintrouble, or alt-F2 / xterm
[03:26] <edddi3> ok thanks
[03:26] <imintrouble> i have a problem a file corrupted my winxp and i half too go into dos mode too remove it
[03:27] <dabaR> imintrouble: are you in ubuntu?

[03:31] <edddi3> 1.0.6 to 1.0.7 I think
[03:31] <dabaR> morgs^^: why did you bork your system so bad? why change the libc version?
[03:31] <dabaR> edddi3: stop doing that...upgrade to breezy to get newer packages.
[03:31] <dabaR> ryanmt: install the other one.
[03:31] <ryanmt> whats the other one called

[03:32] <_jason> ubotu:  tell edddi3 about breezy
[03:33] <dabaR> edddi3: you cann off course upgrade through the apt system.
[03:33] <dabaR> morgs^^: show your sources.list file.
[03:33] <thrush> edddi3: mount -o umask=0000 /dev/hda1 /mnt/whatever   whatever u want to use as umask etc
[03:33] <dabaR> morgs^^: on a pastebin, dont paste here.
[03:33] <thrush> edddi3: oh sorry u said write
[03:33] <morgs^^> ok
[03:33] <ryanmt> dabaR, whats the other one you were on about?
[03:33] <edddi3> yes thrush I need write, I already have it mounted
[03:34] <RIVANVX> edddi3: I don't think NTFS write is supported
[03:34] <dabaR> edddi3: dont write to ntfs its unsafe...
[03:34] <dabaR> ryanmt: the other option in my question as to what you had installed.
[03:34] <ryanmt> oh ok, cheers..again hehe
[03:35] <edddi3> Ok, thanks for all the help dabaR
[03:35] <dabaR> edddi3: did you figure out how to find out how to upgrade to breezy through apt?
[03:35] <Recyclable> right, fourth try lucky :P when i log into ubuntu, it gets halfway through the chimes, then makes a really loud painful grating/rasping sound, and then goes silent, and everything is frozen. Sometimes there's odd graphical things also. Ideas?
[03:35] <edddi3> dabaR: I'm ganna read it now
[03:35] <sordit> Can anyone help me to get the printerver of my SMC 7004 router working?
[03:35] <morgs^^> dabaR .. pastebinned
[03:36] <_native_> Recyclable,  can you log in single and check your logs
[03:36] <ColD_7> how can i install the driver for my sound card in ubuntu?
[03:36] <_native_> ColD_7, what card
[03:36] <_native_> ?
[03:36] <ColD_7> i mean sound card
[03:36] <dabaR> morgs^^: what is your issue? apt does not install things, but rather suggests you run apt-get -f install?
[03:36] <_native_> ColD_7, what sound card
[03:37] <ColD_7> but i am not sure about the detail
[03:37] <ProN00b> is there no apm in the ubuntu kernel ?!?!
[03:37] <ColD_7> i mean i forgot the type and others as it is normally installed by default in windwos
[03:37] <_native_> ColD_7, do you know the brand? can look at the card.
[03:37] <ColD_7> ok
[03:37] <dabaR> ColD_7: paste the output of "lspci" to a pastebin
[03:37] <_native_> yeh
[03:38] <ColD_7> what do you mean?
[03:38] <Recyclable> _native_: i can't log in as anything, except in text mode
[03:38] <ProN00b> is there no apm in the ubuntu kernel ?!?!
[03:38] <dabaR> open a terminal, type: lspci, and press enter. then copy and paste what you get to a pastebin ubotu told you about.
[03:38] <Recyclable> anything that involves the chimes crashes, so i think it  may be something to do with that, but i've already deleted .Xauthority and .ICEauthority
[03:39] <dabaR> Recyclable: does it work to restart X when it freezes?
[03:39] <edddi3> dabaR: I do deb `http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main restricted' to `deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ breezy main restricted' in `/etc/apt/sources.list'?
[03:39] <_native_> Recyclable, yes if you can log into "text" mode you can cd /var/log and get some info as to what your problem is
[03:39] <Recyclable> dabaR: i'm a bit nooby, so I don't know what that really is tbh :/
[03:40] <edddi3> *`deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main restricted '
[03:40] <dabaR> edddi3: basically, replace all instances of hoary in that file with the word breezy, yes.
[03:40] <dabaR> Recyclable: what do you do when it freezes?
[03:40] <Recyclable> _native_: what am i doing exactly/looking for? as i just said, i'm pretty much a total linux noob :S
[03:40] <edddi3> ok thank you very much dabaR.
[03:40] <_native_> Recyclable, you can do ctrl alt backspace to restart x
[03:40] <dabaR> $30
[03:40] <Recyclable> dabaR: i reset the pc and come ask for help :P
[03:41] <Recyclable> _native_: what does that do exactly then?
[03:41] <morgs^^> another on pastebin there dabaR
[03:41] <_native_> Recyclable, well since X is freexing the you would check the Xorg.log
[03:41] <dabaR> ok, well, reset the pc now, and go into a terminal, with alt+ctrl+f2, and start irssi, and talk to us from there.
[03:41] <_native_> Recyclable, that restarts the X window system
[03:42] <Recyclable> mmmmmmk
[03:42] <dabaR> Recyclable: /server irc.freenode.net gets you connected to freenode, then /join #ubuntu
[03:42] <_native_> yeah do what dabaR said
[03:42] <_native_> :-)
[03:42] <Recyclable> so i'll reset, boot ubuntu, ctrlaltf2, then? :/
[03:42] <dabaR> if he is not in ubuntu already...
[03:42] <dabaR> Recyclable: are you in windows now?
[03:42] <Recyclable> i'm in XP ___
[03:42] <Recyclable> yes
[03:42] <edddi3> much better, thank you dabaR. Is Breezy the beta?
[03:43] <wickedpuppy> edddi3, breezy is no longer in beta .. is in release
[03:43] <lucky_strike> hi
[03:43] <edddi3> oh ok, whats the name of the new beta?
[03:43] <dabaR> Recyclable: ya, thats a better idea, reset and ctrl+alt+f2 gets you to a terminal, then irssi starts irc, then /server irc.freenode.net gets you connected to freenode, then /join #ubuntu
[03:43] <RIVANVX> edddi3: dapper
[03:44] <edddi3> heh, Download rate: 1171 kB/s - 11m49s remaining
[03:44] <Recyclable> k dabar, i'll try, and if i'm too crap to be able to do it come back and whine :)
[03:44] <edddi3> thats what I get for not updating -.-
[03:44] <dabaR> Recyclable: that is just to get you h ere while in ubuntu...
[03:44] <Recyclable> k
[03:44] <lucky_strike> opening synaptic in ubuntu5.10 it return errors: W: Couldn't stat source package list http://de.archive.ubuntu.com breezy-backports/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists etc
[03:44] <lucky_strike> what could it be?..
[03:44] <dabaR> Recyclable: dont waste time, tho
[03:44] <Recyclable> yeah i guessed :D
[03:45] <RIVANVX> lucky_strike: perhaps backports aren't yet available?
[03:45] <edddi3> I'm downloading 1457 updated packages...
[03:45] <dabaR> lucky_strike: open a terminal, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and paste the file to paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[03:45] <edddi3> heh
[03:45] <dabaR> ya over and over
[03:45] <nathanj> i just installed totem-xine but i got no ound in my dvix's?? any ideas
[03:46] <dabaR> lucky_strike: also, tell me the output of cat /etc/issue from a terminal again.
[03:46] <dabaR> lucky_strike: also, I know what the error is already, dont bother.
[03:46] <lucky_strike> thx dabaR:=
[03:46] <dabaR> lucky_strike: comment out( in front of line) the backports lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
[03:47] <tom_> aaaah
[03:47] <tom_> it's recyclable
[03:47] <tom_> i'm in :)
[03:47] <Recyclable> right, so what to do now? :/
[03:47] <dabaR> tom_: good. now, alt+ctrl+f7 gets you back to gui. try logging in, and when it freezes, alt+ctrl+f2 to get back to your irc.
[03:47] <edddi3> wow I'm an idiot
[03:47] <dabaR> not really
[03:47] <Recyclable> okay
[03:48] <edddi3> I just do "sudo cat /dev/hda1" hda1 is a 50gb+ HDD
[03:48] <dabaR> why did you do that?
[03:48] <lucky_strike> dabaR: it says "permission denied"...
[03:48] <mirak> hi
[03:48] <edddi3> I'm an idiot :(
[03:48] <dabaR> lucky_strike: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:48] <iceman> #flood
[03:48] <edddi3> it didn't kill me though
[03:48] <dabaR> edddi3: ctrl+c?
[03:48] <edddi3> which is strange
[03:49] <mirak> kgsudo asks a password from X interface and be included into a shell script. I would like something that do the same but for echo command
[03:49] <edddi3> yes of course dabaR lol, it didn't work so I just alt-F4'd
[03:49] <dabaR> mirak: please explain better.

[03:50] <Recyclable> it won't actually do anything whilst frozen
[03:50] <Recyclable> :/
[03:50] <ProN00b> ranma, you didn't write to it from linux, did you ?
[03:50] <dabaR> Recyclable ya you got away for a sec there, so, everything locks up you cant get to a terminal, nor alt+ctrl+backspace to restart X?
[03:50] <ranma> no
[03:50] <lucky_strike> dabaR: i got the file. which lines do i have to comment out? and how do i do it?..
[03:51] <dabaR> mirak: and then does what?
[03:51] <edddi3> ranma: use umount then see what happens?
[03:51] <Recyclable> dabaR: nope, i can't do anything
[03:51] <ranma> unmount from inside linux?
[03:51] <edddi3> yes

[03:52] <dabaR> mirak: type zenity --help in a terminal
[03:52] <Welly> in ubuntu, how do you actually switch to the root user rather than just using sudo?
[03:52] <dabaR> edddi3: you are lucky, upgrades to a new version are usually longer..
[03:52] <dabaR> Welly: ask the bot
[03:53] <RIVANVX> Welly: sudo -s
[03:53] <edddi3> heh it's still going
[03:53] <Welly> cheers
[03:53] <edddi3> says about 13mins left
[03:53] <Recyclable> dabaR: what should I try now then? :/
[03:53] <nekostar> happy halloween *goes to work*
[03:53] <edddi3> cause I lost about 500kb/s in a minute :/
[03:53] <mfdutra> can I use debian packages in ubuntu?
[03:53] <dabaR> Recyclable: did you reboot after having locked up? what os are you in?
[03:53] <edddi3> yes, use dpkg
[03:53] <lucky_strike> dabaR: i did
[03:53] <varsedangger> mfdutra, yes
[03:53] <mfdutra> I mean adding debian repositories in sources list
[03:53] <Ng> mfdutra: they may work, they may not, be careful.
[03:53] <Ng> mfdutra: oh hell no
[03:54] <Recyclable> dabaR: i rebooted, and went back into text mode and irssi
[03:54] <mfdutra> hmm, because ubuntu doesn't have a lot of packages
[03:54] <Ng> mfdutra: some third party repositories for debian *may* work, but nothing is guaranteed
[03:54] <ColD_7> i got a yamaha sound card and how can i install the driver?
[03:54] <mfdutra> hmm
[03:54] <darksatanic> mfdutra: Enable Universe and Multiverse.
[03:54] <dabaR> lucky_strike: there it is.
[03:55] <edddi3> mfdutra: update your reps to the latest, it has a whole lot, plus add multiverse and universe.
[03:55] <mfdutra> darksatanic, hmm I'll try that
[03:55] <Recyclable> >,<
[03:55] <ubuntu> find yamaha for linux
[03:55] <dabaR> Recyclable: ok, good, well, dunno, you can try reading some logs, like dmesg

[03:57] <administrador> xD
[03:57] <vbgunz> I have an interesting question. Anyone here know of Gnomes wireframe mode? If so, do you know how to modify the appearance of the wireframe? Google indexes I think more than 8 billion pages *but* nothing on modifying the look of the wireframe... Anyone have any ideas?
[03:58] <blueblood> hmm, need a little help with cvs.. Trying to download avifile with : cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/avifile login but... whats the password?
[03:58] <PuGz> when i open emacs i get the following error:
[03:58] <PuGz> $ emacs
[03:58] <PuGz> Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
[03:58] <PuGz> Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct
[03:58] <PuGz> i think it has something to do with xfonts75 and xfonts100 not being in my xorg.conf or something
[03:58] <PuGz> i remade my xorg.conf using fglrxconfig
[03:58] <PuGz> so its very possible
[03:58] <ryanmt> I get this when trying to install realplayer " error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" any ideas?
[03:58] <PuGz> can anyone suggest the actual lines to add to my xorg.conf?
[03:59] <edddi3> blueblood: is asks you for a password?
[03:59] <dooglus> blueblood: usually just hit return for the password
[03:59] <blueblood> yea
[03:59] <dabaR> ryanmt: is that the whle error?
[03:59] <Welly> i don't want to give up on this.. i'm still having problems with my machine locking up on logging into to 5.10.. i've just no idea where to start
[03:59] <edddi3> blueblood: try anonymous
[03:59] <blueblood> hmm, then nothing happens, and I get back to the promt
[03:59] <blueblood> tried that to eddi
[03:59] <blueblood> http://avifile.sourceforge.net/
[03:59] <dabaR> Welly: locking up like what?
[04:00] <dabaR> in gnome?
[04:00] <ryanmt> PuGz, http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3834 theres my xconf.org if thats any use
[04:00] <edddi3> blueblood: Oh, give me a minute
[04:00] <PuGz> ryanmt: hehe... thats funny... i was gonna help you with your problem!
[04:00] <PuGz> cheers for that
[04:00] <Welly> dabaR, it boots up, i get to the login prompt.. log in and then a few seconds later, the machine completely locks up
[04:00] <ryanmt> ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[04:00] <ryanmt> thats the whole error
[04:00] <blueblood> edddi3,  hmm, the first time user guide states that enter would work....
[04:01] <dabaR> Welly: Recyclable has the same issue.
[04:01] <PuGz> ryanmt: firstly, is that the xorg.conf made by the ubuntu installer?
[04:01] <dooglus> blueblood: did you follow the instructions here: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=11050 ?
[04:01] <anto9us> Welly, have you tried adding a new user and seeing how that behaves?
[04:01] <blueblood> hmm, maybe got some progress now
[04:01] <Welly> anto9us, i'll give it a go
[04:01] <dooglus> blueblood: it's supposed to just give you the prompt back.  now you're logged in and can checkout the files.
[04:01] <PuGz> ryanmt: try this:
[04:01] <PuGz> sudo aptitude install libstdc++5
[04:01] <blueblood> doh
[04:01] <Welly> Recyclable, you too?
[04:01] <blueblood> dooglus,  I didn't get that :)
[04:02] <dooglus> blueblood: what do you mean?
[04:02] <dooglus> get == understand?
[04:02] <dooglus> or get == obtain?
[04:02] <PuGz> ryanmt: work?
[04:02] <ryanmt> yup, cheers
[04:02] <PuGz> no probs
[04:02] <ryanmt> what does the aptitude bit mean btw ive not see that used before
[04:02] <blueblood> dooglus, that the prompt would pop back up without any info
[04:02] <blueblood> I got it working now :) thanks
[04:02] <dooglus> blueblood: it's supposed to!
[04:02] <rohal> how to setup a root account??
[04:03] <dooglus> blueblood: read this: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=11050
[04:03] <PuGz> ryanmt: realplayer was obviously built against that version of the c++ libraries... there are newer versions out, which you would have had installed... but you needed the old ones to run that version of realplayer
[04:03] <blueblood> already got the files
[04:03] <dooglus> rohal: it's already set up.  use sudo to access it
[04:03] <PuGz> ryanmt: aptitude is an apt-get replacement
[04:03] <lucky_strike> i tried to install 3D Nvidia video card driver as described in the Hardware chapter of Ubuntu FAQ Guide, but calling Applications->System Tools->NVIDIA Settings returns "Failed to execute child process "nvidia-settings" (No such file or directory)"...
[04:03] <PuGz> ryanmt: aptitude also replaces apt-cache
[04:03] <dducko> !tell rohal about root
[04:03] <rohal> dooglus: no i am fedup with sudo....i want to use su....:)
[04:03] <dooglus> PuGz: does it replace apt-file too?
[04:03] <PuGz> ryanmt: type aptitude help or man aptitude
[04:03] <PuGz> dooglus: dont know
[04:03] <dooglus> rohal: why?  what's the difference?
[04:04] <dabaR> lucky_strike: did you install the nvidia packages?
[04:04] <PuGz> dooglus: whats the command to search with apt-file again?
[04:04] <dooglus> rohal: if you "sudo -i" you'll get a root shell
[04:04] <blueblood> dooglus, but maybe you can answear another question. when I type gedit INSTALL in the terminal, the terminal is locked to that app.. Any way around this? As it is now I end up with 10 diff terminalwindows :)
[04:04] <ryanmt> thanks
[04:04] <rohal> dooglus: i am in habit of using it.....tell me if it is possible??
[04:04] <dooglus> PuGz: "apt-file search /path/to/search/for"
[04:04] <PuGz> rohal: you could just do "sudo passwd root"
[04:04] <wickedpuppy> blueblood, gedit &
[04:04] <edddi3> yay dabaR, download done installing *sigh*
[04:04] <dooglus> rohal: it is - if you "sudo passwd" you can set the root password
[04:04] <blueblood> thanks wickedpuppy :)
[04:04] <dducko> blueblood, yeah.. what he said..  put the & after it
[04:04] <blueblood> really nice!
[04:04] <dooglus> PuGz: no need for the "root" bit
[04:05] <rohal> dooglus: then will it work the same way as in other distro's ....that su thing?
[04:05] <dooglus> rohal: yup
[04:05] <soce_32> blueblood: gnome-terminal also has tabs so you don't have to have windows open all over the place
[04:05] <rohal> dooglus: k thanks
[04:05] <anto9us> blueblood, as well as adding & for a running process you can press ctrl-z that will suspend execution and release the terminal, then type bg which will move it to the background
[04:05] <lucky_strike> dabaR: yes, i installed "nvidia-glx" and "nvidia-settings" packages...
[04:05] <wickedpuppy> blueblood, its running the process in background .. thats why you get back the prompt .. anyway gedit can open several files in one gedit ... why you need several gedits ?
[04:06] <dooglus> rohal: the only difference with ubuntu is that the root account password is locked by default.  'sudo passwd' will unlock it.
[04:06] <blueblood> wickedpuppy, the thing is if I want to read README and still do stuff in the same terminal
[04:06] <PuGz> dooglus: aptitude does not appear to be able to do what apt-file does
[04:06] <lucky_strike> dabaR: i did everything said here: http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/faqguide-all.html#installnvidiadriver
[04:06] <dooglus> PuGz: ok.
[04:06] <PuGz> dooglus: why wouldnt u need the root bit? does the sudo command make the passwd command think its talking about root?
[04:07] <dooglus> PuGz: I don't know if apt-file support is being discontinued, but it seems that it's not available in dapper
[04:07] <stupendo44> I'm trying to run grub-install from a live cd to reinstall grub on my main drive. I'm getting an error: /dev/mapper/casper-snapshot does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
[04:07] <blueblood> soce_32, ah! How Suuhweet :)
[04:07] <dooglus> PuGz: 'passwd' changes the current user's password by default.  when you run passwd using sudo, it's running as root, so it changes the root password by default
[04:07] <blueblood> We do love tabs
[04:07] <rohal> i have to export my proxy everytime i use apt-get......is there a way out??
[04:07] <PuGz> stupendo44: i have had many grub probles before! i am no good at solving them though! good luck
[04:08] <stupendo44> PuGz, ok, thanks
[04:08] <dooglus> rohal: you can export it in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh - then it'll be set when you boot
[04:08] <PuGz> stupendo44: try #grub ??
[04:08] <rohal> dooglus: k thanks
[04:08] <blueblood> Silly question: Can you disable the PC speeker on tabcompletion ? Gets rather annoying.
[04:09] <Recyclable> welly: yes, me too :(
[04:09] <Recyclable> Welly: someone told me a night or so ago to delete .Xauthority and .ICEauthority from homedir
[04:09] <Recyclable> didnt work for me but it might for you
[04:09] <dooglus> rohal: or export it in ~/.gnomerc - then it'll be exported for just your user in your GNOME sessions
[04:09] <dabaR> blueblood: run screen
[04:09] <Recyclable> bah, dabaR  seems to have dissapeared :(
[04:09] <stupendo44> PuGz, thanks
[04:09] <sazwerx> hi.. anyone knows what messenger that can be used in LAN (Local Area Network) without internet connection?
[04:09] <green-mouse> sazwerx: jabber
[04:09] <phinnaeus> jabber works
[04:09] <phinnaeus> oh
[04:10] <thrush> sazwerx: write ;)
[04:10] <sazwerx> green-mous, how 'bout GAIM?
[04:10] <sazwerx> thrush, hiehiehe... :p
[04:10] <dabaR> Recyclable: i dont know how to fix it.
[04:10] <stupendo44> gaim with jabber
[04:10] <phinnaeus> yeah
[04:10] <Recyclable> :( dabar
[04:10] <emgee> Hey people! I need help downloading and installing the nvidia geforce drivers.
[04:10] <blueblood> dabaR, please elaborate "run screen"
[04:10] <emgee> Anyone done that?
[04:10] <Recyclable> guess i'll have to restart into windows and then ask later ;(
[04:10] <dabaR> open a terminal, type in screen, and then there is no beep
[04:11] <stupendo44> emgee, I just install them from repositories
[04:11] <emgee> stupendo44, geforec4? hardware acceleration works?
[04:11] <green-mouse> sazwerx: u need to setup jabber-server in u network and u can use gaim psi etc to connect to this server
[04:11] <emgee> What repositories in that case?
[04:11] <emgee> I'm on a completely fresh system here... Don't know any 'cool' repositories..
[04:11] <dooglus> blueblood: echo "set bell-style none" >> ~/.inputrc
[04:11] <sazwerx> green-mouse, okay.. thanks, bro
[04:12] <dooglus> blueblood: ^-- that will disable the beeping
[04:12] <stupendo44> emgee, just the regular universe repo. I'm pretty sure
[04:12] <blueblood> dooglus,  nice, thank you
[04:12] <stupendo44> you know how to add sources?
[04:12] <dooglus> blueblood: you can use 'visible' instead of 'none' if you want the screen to flash instead of the beep
[04:12] <edddi3> Random Fortune: "Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?" Microsoft spel chekar vor sail, worgs grate !! 	-- Felix von Leitner, leitner@inf.fu-berlin.de
[04:12] <emgee> stupendo44, yeah.. You got a nice list for me?
[04:12] <dooglus> blueblood: and you'll have to start a new shell before you see the effect
[04:13] <green-mouse> sazwerx: also u have many windows clients for windows whats waorks with jabber protocol....
[04:13] <stupendo44> just add universe and multiverse to the regular ubuntu repositories
[04:13] <ryanmt> has anybody had problems with amsn displaying profile pictures? mine just stays on "loading" :(
[04:13] <blueblood> dooglus,  does the file .inputrc exist, or do I create it?
[04:13] <edddi3> dabaR: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/kdevelop3-data_4-0x1.22a3b0000006bp-1333.2.3-0ubuntu1_all.deb:  trying to overwrite `/usr/share/applications/kde/kdevdesigner.desktop', which is also in package kdevelop3
[04:13] <Ragol> apokryphos: well, make seems to accept the old versions (from hoary pkgs) of those files, we'll see how it will work
[04:13] <sazwerx> green-mouse, so, u mean with jabber we can also communicate with windows clients?
[04:13] <edddi3> :/
[04:14] <Ragol> I mean, it may compile, but how it will really work... :)
[04:14] <dooglus> blueblood: just run the command.  the >> will add to it if it's there, and create it if it isn't
[04:14] <green-mouse> sazwerx: yes
[04:14] <blueblood> ok
[04:14] <sazwerx> green-mouse, cool.. ^_^
[04:15] <gimmulf> Is there any good manual on how to configure apache with php and mysql?
[04:15] <gimmulf> i've installed them thru package manager...

[04:16] <gimmulf> thanks
[04:18] <blueblood> I saw that I got my NTFS partitions automounted, but the user is root.root. Is it allright if i chomod to blueblood.blueblood?
[04:19] <dooglus> blueblood: no
[04:19] <blueblood> oh, tobad :/
[04:19] <dooglus> blueblood: edit /etc/fstab and use the 'uid=' option to specify the user you want it to be
[04:19] <dooglus> blueblood: for example, my line for ntfs says:
[04:20] <dooglus> blueblood: "/dev/hda1 /mnt/c        ntfs noauto,umask=0,nls=iso8859-1,uid=1000,nls=iso8859-15    0 0"
[04:21] <carl> gparted is being dumb.  I did ntfsresize -s 9G /dev/hda1 and all went well.  XP did it's checkdisk thing and XP's defrag shows all the data on the "left side" of the partition.
[04:21] <dooglus> blueblood: you can use gid= as well to specify the group to use
[04:22] <blueblood> dooglus, mine looked like this
[04:22] <carl> df shows /dev/hda1  8.4G  7.0G  1.4G, but gparted says its a 18g partition 1.4G free
[04:22] <blueblood> dooglus, /dev/sda1       /media/sda1     ntfs    defaults        0       0
[04:22] <carl> so it won't let me shrink it below 16g
[04:22] <blueblood> do I just add after defaults "defaults, uid=id" ?
[04:22] <rohal> on every boot my system tries to synchronize clock to some ntp.ubuntu.....& takes a lot of time & fails finally......what should i do stop it??
[04:23] <carl> is this a bug in gparted?
[04:24] <edddi3> rohal: I think it's a option in the date and time options
[04:24] <edddi3> and check in crontab
[04:25] <green-mouse> rohal: sodu update-rc.d -f ntpdate remove
[04:25] <rohal> edddi3: & where can i find that?
[04:25] <edddi3> rohal: Are you using Gnome or KDE?
[04:25] <green-mouse> rohal: sorry  sudo update-rc.d -f ntpdate remove
[04:25] <rohal> green-mouse: k thanks
[04:26] <ph8> hello all, just a quickie - is there anything as good as Kate for gnome?
[04:26] <edddi3> ph8: what's wrong with gedit?

[04:26] <ph8> haven't tried it
[04:26] <ph8> don't think i've got it installed
[04:26] <edddi3> ph8: it's the default gnome text editor
[04:27] <ph8> is anything wrong with apt-get atm or is it my crap uni-proxy?
[04:27] <thirso> your crap proxy
[04:27] <ph8> edddi3: I switched from kde to gnome the other day, it's not in any of the menus..
[04:27] <edddi3> try running it in bash
[04:27] <edddi3> "gedit"
[04:28] <ph8> ah! works it does

[04:48] <sordit> ekimus: ok..
[04:48] <ekimus> sordit: fsck isn't meant to work on mounted partitions
[04:48] <mustard5> sordit, you can't fsck on mounted drive
[04:48] <low-batt> no i dont
[04:48] <mustard5> sordit, hence the liveCD
[04:48] <hu> PL
[04:48] <ekimus> low-batt: then you'll have to make a backup
[04:48] <ryanmt> low-batt, the easy way would be to just get another hard drive in your pc and use that, 20gb ones cost pennies these days
[04:49] <sordit> man.. can't i simply run scandisk? *j/k* ;)
[04:49] <ekimus> hu: could you say that again (in some language we understand) :)
[04:49] <mustard5> low-batt you could gzip your home directory
[04:49] <ekimus> ryanmt: hell, where can you buy 20GB hard disks? i've a hard time finding 40GB HDs
[04:50] <ryanmt> ebay!
[04:50] <ryanmt> your best off buying 80gb ones tbh, they are bout 3 more expensive than 40gb now
[04:50] <low-batt> i have a labtop so i cant chance the harddrive
[04:50] <ryanmt> (3 =$6ish)
[04:50] <sordit> you could also free some space with partition magic
[04:50] <mustard5> low-batt there are many options :)
[04:50] <ekimus> ryanmt: i meant new :)
[04:51] <ryanmt> backup before you use partition magic, its killed many a filesystem
[04:51] <mustard5> low-batt basically most of your personal configuration settings are in your /home directory
[04:51] <ryanmt> oh i dont know, there might be a batch in the basment of some warehose somewhere hehe
[04:51] <ekimus> low-batt: man resize2fs (it's possible without a backup - but if you're not 103% sure what you're doing i'd go for a backup)
[04:53] <low-batt> mustard5 how do i do that ??
[04:53] <mustard5> low-batt, check this out for an idea of how you might save your /home in tar.gz http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087&pp=10
[04:53] <xman> Anybody want to walk me through setting up wireless internet?
[04:54] <mustard5> low-batt I saved my entire system this way... mind you I wrecked it unzipping it...but if you just save /home in should be easy :D
[04:54] <xman> I'm in an environment with multiple wireless SSID's, and the graphical install never seemed to latch on to the right one
[04:55] <ekimus> xman: 'iwconfig <your device> essid <your essid> && iwconfig <your device> key <your key or off if no key> && dhclient <your device>'
[04:55] <xman> OOh, nice
[04:55] <ekimus> xman: for mor options man iwconfig (pretty good description)
[04:56] <eruin> you've also got networkmanager
[04:56] <eruin> which is splendid
[04:57] <eruin> should be in universe, but the one J^ packaged is the one I'm using: deb http://bootlab.org/~j/NetworkManager-breezy/ ./    <-- add to /etc/apt/sources.list

[05:00] <LokeDK> is it apt-get --reinstall remove package? or? don't really get the reinstall thing in man pages
[05:00] <sordit> LokeDK: Beep = xmms in more modern
[05:00] <LokeDK> oh beep media player
[05:00] <mustard5> LokeDK, sudo apt-get remove --purge package
[05:00] <mustard5> LokeDK, sudo apt-get remove --purge xmms
[05:00] <LokeDK> okay thanks
[05:00] <aagantuk> is there any way to get all compiler in one set of apt-get

[05:04] <mustard5> aagantuk, you trying to install wifi?
[05:04] <Sonderblade> thread: emacs comes with color as default
[05:04] <sam__> apt-get install cdemu doesn't work... apt-cache search cdemu doesn't return anything
[05:04] <mustard5> aagantuk, you seen wiki guides for wifi?
[05:04] <sam__> i have universal added.. anything else I'm missing?
[05:05] <mustard5> ubotu: tell sam__ about repos
[05:05] <LokeDK> sordit, hmm okay.. maybe i'll give it a try
[05:05] <mustard5> sam__, check your sources.list against the ones that ubuto has links to
[05:05] <loufoque> is it possible to make archives behave as directories ?
[05:05] <aagantuk> mustard5 : yah
[05:05] <soce_32> thrush: vim has color highlighting built in
[05:05] <mustard5> aagantuk, read wiki guide?
[05:06] <mustard5> ubotu: tell aagantuk about wifi
[05:06] <soce_32> thrush: if you use gvim, you actually get a syntax menu and can pick how you want your code highlighted
[05:06] <lucky_strike> are there any breezy-backports available?...
[05:06] <mustard5> aagantuk, I'm not to good with network stuff and wifi

[05:07] <mustard5> lucky_strike, disable those in your sources.list
[05:07] <aag> mustard5 : installing build essential 1st
[05:07] <mustard5> aag, k

[05:08] <puff> Aftenroon.
[05:08] <sam__> i'll check my souress.list once more
[05:08] <lucky_strike> mustard: yes i did, but i have added everything else, and this "Multimedia (multiverse) > gstreamer0.8-lame" package still isnt there...
[05:09] <thrush> soce_32: im ssh'd in and didnt want to use x, ill look a little more at vim thx

[05:09] <ubotu> rumour has it, javadeb is for sun java debs packaged for ubuntu, Install from http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/bpxbf (Breezy)

[05:10] <_jason> kandoora_:  you can just killall gnome-panel
[05:11] <ETSME> !quicktime
[05:11] <ubotu> quicktime is probably read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats for information on quicktime support (via w32codecs), or see w32codecs
[05:11] <ikks> I'm about to sign the Code  of Conduct.  I want to know what does "SABDFL" means.  Thanks in advance.

[05:13] <ikks> thanks :) CarlFK
[05:13] <mustard5> lucky_strike, roger

[05:14] <kandoora_> i did killall gnome-panel but the software i installed does not appear, what do i do, i don't wanna log out and log in
[05:14] <loufoque> soce_32, yes but I would like it to be done automagically

[05:18] <darknuala>  hey i downloaded the dvd images from http://cargol.net/~ramon/ubuntu-dvd-en, but how do i install them?  Can anybody help me?
[05:19] <blueblood> Hey, Im trying to install Wine. I followed the guide to add reposoitories on wines homepage, but Synaptic don't find Wine when I search on it :/ Any ideas?
[05:19] <trappist> robotgeek: I didn't know until google told me: http://www.google.com/search?q=the+answer+to+life+the+universe+and+everything
[05:19] <robotgeek> puff: it contains your 'application data', stuff like bookmarks, extensions, etc
[05:19] <wmchris> need a lil help. i've got a virus on my winxp system (preresistent winlogon virus which is undeletable from windows, safemode, recover console etc) and now ill try to remove the virus per ubuntu, but the system is NTFS of the windrive. is there any possibility to delete the virus file from ubuntu? (without captive: its buggy)
[05:19] <CarlFK> blueblood - what guide? (url)
[05:20] <mustard5> lucky_strike, you could always use that link at the top of my source list to make another source list for yourself ;)
[05:20] <puff> robotgeek: I ran into some problems, on friday or so, tried ot install some extensions and it broke something.
[05:20] <ph8> \quit
[05:20] <blueblood> hold
[05:20] <trappist> wmchris: the very newest (as in like last week) ntfs drivers can safely delete files
[05:20] <puff> robotgeek: What finally solved the problem was a) mv ~/.mozilla ~/.oldmozilla, b) reboot.
[05:20] <blueblood> CarlFK, http://www.winehq.com/site/download-deb
[05:20] <robotgeek> puff: there's a safe mode for firefox too, where u can start it with a new profile
[05:20] <puff> robotgeek:  I thought that hadn't solved the problem, decided to call it a day, restarted my machine the next day and it worked fine.
[05:20] <wmchris> trappist: can i download em without recompiling the kernel?
[05:20] <lucky_strike> mustard5: yes, as ubotu told me
[05:20] <trappist> wmchris: not sure
[05:20] <bbr_> hello
[05:20] <vbgunz> damnit I killed my esd with pkill... how do I get it back?
[05:20] <bbr_> who know a french chan about bittorrent?
[05:20] <rob^^^> trappist: you mean 2.6.14/
[05:20] <trappist> wmchris: I've never messed with it.  I just remember seeing the new release and the changelog.
[05:21] <puff> robotgeek:  Yeah, I got it started with -safemode, removed the extensions, but that didn't fix the weirdness I was seeing.
[05:21] <soce_32> vbgunz: esd &
[05:21] <trappist> rob^^^: that's probably when we'll see it in the mainline kernel, yeah
[05:21] <wmchris> trappist: hm... url? =)
[05:21] <CarlFK> blueblood - try the steps at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/dvdshrink
[05:21] <nikken> hello ppl
[05:21] <rob^^^> trappist: 2.6.14 was released yesterday
[05:21] <lucky_strike> mustard5: well i will just try to take your .list. do you think its ok?..
[05:21] <low-batt> mustard5, do you know a way to get my data out of my labtop whitout having a opratonal system on, i dont care what i have to do i just vant my data
[05:21] <SeKToRSiX> hey all, after the ubuntu installaion, is there a default firewall running? for some reason I am unable to authenticate with our local exchange server.
[05:21] <trappist> rob^^^: oh cool :)
[05:21] <CarlFK> blueblood - mainly cuz apt-get will give you a bit more info as to whats wrong
[05:21] <robotgeek> puff: oh okay, you can still recover your bookmarks
[05:21] <rob^^^> trappist: anything else major holding up read-write support for NTFS?
[05:21] <mustard5> lucky_strike, yeah you could do that...just remove all the '.au' parts
[05:21] <bbr_> no?
[05:21] <puff> robotgeek: Yeah, that's where I'm at now... anything else besides bookmarks that I should worry about?
[05:21] <vbgunz> soce_32: friggin nice ;) thank you!
[05:21] <mustard5> au. dot parts :)
[05:22] <thrush> bbr_: there's a french ubuntu chan might have better luck there
[05:22] <robotgeek> puff: passwords, and extensions
[05:22] <CarlFK> rob^^^ - only Billy G, who is one major pain in the ass
[05:22] <trappist> rob^^^: yeah, the same old stuff.  if the size of the file changes, your filesystem is hosed.
[05:22] <mustard5> lucky_strike, or use http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[05:22] <mustard5> lucky_strike, using sourc-o-matic will allow you to have a localised sources.list
[05:22] <lucky_strike> mustard5: i see
[05:22] <trappist> wmchris: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=501755
[05:23] <bbr_> ok thrush
[05:23] <puff> robotgeek: Hm.  I can live with installing extensions from scratch.
[05:23] <pigeonflight> !mp3
[05:23] <ubotu> I guess mp3 is a non-free format. Restricted formats' installation instructions can be found on the RestrictedFormats page of the wiki - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats - click away:)
[05:23] <mustard5> low-batt what are you going to save it to?
[05:23] <mustard5> low-batt you got an external usb drive or something?
[05:23] <wmchris> trappist: ty
[05:23] <mustard5> low-batt, save to CD maybe?
[05:23] <trappist> mp
[05:23] <trappist> np
[05:24] <puff> robotgeek: Would'nt mind getting my passwords back.  For bookmarks, I assume that involves just copying or merging ~/.oldmozilla/firefox/profilename/bookmarks.html into ~/.mozilla/firefox/profilename/bookmarks.html
[05:24] <mustard5> low-batt how big is your /home directory?
[05:24] <low-batt> mustard5, yes i got an external usb drive and a dvd-burner
[05:25] <Cryptid> Has ne one here succesfully installed and Used Azureus on their Breezy??
[05:25] <darknuala> if you make a backup of the multiverse, universe, and copy those files to etc/apt/archives, will that work as far as not needing an internet connection to download the apps?
[05:26] <robotgeek> puff: yup
[05:26] <jamie> hey, how do I install apache? I've tried sudo apt-get install apache but I get a pile of errors
[05:26] <low-batt> mustard5, home is 75 Gb
[05:26] <mustard5> low-batt I'm not even sure I understand how your system died in the first place...if you told me I have forgotten
[05:26] <mustard5> low-batt, you got 75Gb!  hehehe
[05:26] <thomerz> !w32codecs
[05:26] <ubotu> hmm... w32codecs is a set of audio/video codecs for DVD-Video. To download the debs: http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/bpxbf (Breezy).  For 64-bit read: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=54399
[05:27] <mustard5> low-batt how big is your usb drive? free space?
[05:27] <jamie> What's the command for installing Apache?
[05:27] <mustard5> jamie, no synaptic gui ?
[05:27] <lucky_strike> mustard5: but you have also added this "deb cdrom:.." package, right?..
[05:27] <low-batt> mustard5, but the data i want out is just 100 mb
[05:28] <jamie> mustard5: Erm I've tried apt-get install apache but I get a few errors
[05:28] <jamie> I've got root access
[05:28] <mustard5> low-batt boot up with liveCD ..mount your usb drive and save it
[05:28] <trappist> jamie: sudo apt-get install apache.  if you're getting errors something is wrong, but we don't know what if you don't tell us what the errors are.
[05:28] <mustard5> lucky_strike, you can add your CD via synaptic.....
[05:28] <vbgunz> how do I modify my bootscripts?
[05:28] <trappist> jamie: you might try sudo apt-get update
[05:29] <mustard5> lucky_strike, go to synaptic and look in the menus for 'Add CD'
[05:29] <trappist> vbgunz: sudo update-rc.d
[05:29] <vbgunz> trappist: from a n00b point of view, modifying the bootscripts should help improve overall performance of the system and free system resources correct?
[05:29] <larouedlaforune> Bonjour  tous

[05:32] <mustard5> low-batt what is the error message?
[05:32] <vbgunz> trappist: I entered "sudo update-rc.d" into the console... is there another more friendly way to modify the bootscript?
[05:32] <trappist> vbgunz: if there is, I don't know what it is.
[05:33] <trappist> vbgunz: I come from mandrake/redhat where the whole thing was a lot different.
[05:33] <vbgunz> trappist: thanks though, it's a lead ;)
[05:34] <low-batt> mustard5, there is no but the insert icon is blured and cant be pushed
[05:34] <robotgeek> vbgunz: update-rc.d is used to either add/remove scripts from run-levels
[05:34] <soce_32> vbgunz: what are you looking to add or remove from the boot process?
[05:34] <mustard5> low-batt can you do it from terminal?
[05:34] <darknuala>  hey i downloaded the dvd images from http://cargol.net/~ramon/ubuntu-dvd-en, but how do i install them?  Can anybody help me?

[05:36] <green-mouse> vbgunz: i find services-admin right now - I don`t us it but maybe ti can help to u
[05:36] <ETSME> can i access my hotmail mail account using Evolution, like i use to did with Outlook Express on windows ?
[05:36] <soce_32> vbgunz: you can look in /etc/rc2.d and see what things start up upon boot, and figure out what you want to get rid of
[05:36] <mustard5> low-batt type mount and tell me what your usb drive is called and where it is mounted?
[05:36] <ETSME> !cedega

[05:37] <Toma-> anyone know why xqf and synaptic both ignore my gtk style?
[05:37] <PrYgMMa> lets try again; I'm trying to install linneighborhood but it say it can't install smbfs because "Depends: samba-common (= 3.0.10-1ubuntu3) but 3.0.14a-6ubuntu1 is to be installed" Whats up with that?
[05:37] <lucky_strike> mustard5: seems to be..
[05:37] <mustard5> lucky-strike did you sudo apt-get update?
[05:37] <vbgunz> soce_32: it's cool... after looking the most hog hungry apps I got are the ones I need :P
[05:37] <low-batt> mustard5, ok 2 sek
[05:38] <green-mouse> vbgunz: just type sudo services-admin in u terminal it  exactly have acsses from menu but i haven`t menu :(
[05:38] <vbgunz> green-mouse: thanks, was checking synaptic for that ;)
[05:39] <TotalNewb> Morningish.
[05:40] <soce_32> Toma-: synaptic runs through gksudo, which is like root, so your .gtk setttings aren't read, i am not familiar with xqf, but a guess is that it is based on a non-gtk widget library, like motif or qt
[05:40] <vbgunz> green-mouse: will unchecking those services result in them not loading with the PC? I found some I don't need like printer, mail fetcher, and schedules (although I need to look into that later)...
[05:40] <TotalNewb> Is this the place you ask ignorant newbie questions? :)
[05:40] <CaBlGuY> ok, 2 things...   1. how do I mount a win. dir based drive, and 2. I need a "working" app to use for streaming audio..
[05:40] <prova> salve ... sono nuovo .......... qualcuno disposto a chiarirmi alcuni problemi con la banda?
[05:40] <mustard5> TotalNewb, this is that place :)
[05:40] <trappist> vbgunz: you probably do want cron (the command scheduler)
[05:40] <mustard5> !it
[05:40] <ubotu> italiano es #ubuntu-it per favore, andiamo! Grazi ... prego! :-)
[05:41] <xman> What file gets checked for the screen resolution?  I get 1024x768 as the top choice (of the three standard) but /etc/X11/xorg.conf has a lot more
[05:41] <prova> OK ubutu
[05:41] <xman> Isn't that supposed to be first in line?
[05:41] <vbgunz> trappist: do you think other programs need it? I don't personally use it though if there was an interface for it I might be more inclined into looking into it...
[05:41] <TotalNewb> Great! I need all the help I can get. I just installed Hoary Hedgehog Ubuntu, my first linux!
[05:41] <mustard5> xman, I have no idea :)
[05:41] <trappist> vbgunz: the operating system uses it for maintenance.  look at scripts in /etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.hourly etc. to see what it does.
[05:42] <xman> LOL
[05:42] <soce_32> vbgunz: your system relies heavily on cron, look at /etc/cron.daily, cron.hourly
[05:42] <CaBlGuY> Total, Im in yur shoes to bro..
[05:42] <Enlite> I need a command to see if the HTTPD service is running, and if it is, restart it.. if its not, then dont do anything... how can I do this?
[05:42] <CaBlGuY> I been runnin it now for about a week..
[05:42] <mustard5> TotalNewb, ah...yes..I was glad to upgrade from Hoary to Breezy..sound was driving me nuts on hoary :)
[05:42] <CaBlGuY> TotalNewb,  it's a nice distro, but theres still some stuff that don't work quite right..  IE, the Media player..
[05:43] <vbgunz> trappist: soce: ok fellas, This is why I love you and wish to bake ya some brownies... You guys are the best so I am turning it back on :)
[05:43] <CaBlGuY> greets mustard5
[05:43] <soce_32> Enlite: ps -ef | grep apache, /etc/init.d/apache restart
[05:43] <mustard5> xman, I know you can run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and you can reconfigure xorg.conf
[05:43] <Toma-> soce_32: actually, its gtk based. but i think its gtk1.2
[05:43] <TotalNewb> I tried installing Breezy but for some reason it wouldn't boot when I did the burn so I ordered a CD and this is what came.
[05:43] <trappist> ps isn't a great way to (automatically) see if a service is running
[05:43] <mustard5> hey CaBlGuY
[05:43] <trappist> since you may or may not get a line for the grep command.
[05:44] <low-batt> mustard5, the usbdrive is called "sda1" and id moundet at "/mnt/sda1"
[05:44] <mustard5> TotalNewb, you on broadband?
[05:44] <mustard5> low-batt well done :)
[05:44] <TotalNewb> 1.5 DSL.
[05:44] <robotgeek> trappist: i wondered why that happened, the grep command not coming thru sometimes?
[05:44] <mustard5> low-batt now are all the files you want in one place in /home?
[05:44] <vbgunz> trappist general question... if I kill the gdm service I will have no gui but will be at the command line instead correct?
[05:44] <trappist> robotgeek: it's a race condition
[05:44] <soce_32> trappist: ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep something
[05:44] <CaBlGuY> mustard5,  I was hopin u could help me in my plite this day...
[05:44] <trappist> vbgunz: yeah, then you can start X manually
[05:45] <vbgunz> trappist: I mean no gui for logging in but instead at the cli...
[05:45] <TotalNewb> I was running a second hand copy of Win2000 when I burned it maybe if I download the iso and burm it under linux it will let me make it bootable.
[05:45] <CaBlGuY> mustard5,   1. how do I mount a win. dir based drive, and 2. I need a "working" app to use for streaming audio..
[05:45] <robotgeek> trappist: interesting. googling now
[05:45] <green-mouse> vbgunz: i was not hire - trappist tell right think u nee cron sheduler
[05:45] <trappist> apachectl status should give you either status if it's running or connection refused if it's not
[05:45] <mustard5> CaBlGuY, you on breezy?
[05:45] <trappist> vbgunz: correct
[05:45] <CaBlGuY> mustard5,  no hedghog
[05:45] <TotalNewb> Would I need to uninstall HH to upgrade to Breezy?
[05:45] <CaBlGuY> or however u spell it
[05:45] <CaBlGuY> :p
[05:45] <mustard5> CaBlGuY, hmm k
[05:46] <_jason> TotalNewb:  nope, you can just use app, ubotu will send you a link
[05:46] <_jason> ubotu:  tell TotalNewb about breezy
[05:46] <soce_32> TotalNewb: no, see the Topic
[05:46] <mustard5> CaBlGuY, let me send a link from ubotu for windows drives
[05:46] <vbgunz> trappist, I mean, if I disable gdm... I won't have a gui asking for my credentials at login. Instead I will be at the cli... *but* when I do login to my account will I still  be at the CLI OR will I log into Gnome?
[05:46] <mustard5> ubotu: tell CaBlGuY about windowsdrives
[05:46] <CaBlGuY> ok..
[05:47] <mustard5> CaBlGuY, lets do streaming audio after this
[05:47] <vbgunz> trappist: OR after logging in I will have to sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[05:47] <trappist> vbgunz: you'll still be at the cli until you type starx - or you could add starx to your .bashrc or something.
[05:47] <CaBlGuY> ok..
[05:47] <trappist> *startx
[05:47] <trappist> not starx
[05:47] <vbgunz> ahh ok
[05:47] <mustard5> low-batt you still there?
[05:48] <TotalNewb> I'm just slightly confused about installing things. I tried installing TinyFugue and it just kinda sits there. Thanks for the guide. I'm kinda lost without an .exe. Which I now understand is very pathetic. ;)
[05:48] <ewald> sudo apt-get install gettext does not work for me - can anyone confirm that it does not work?
[05:48] <mustard5> TotalNewb, .exe won't run on linux
[05:48] <low-batt> mustard5, no ti is on "/mnt/hda1/documents and setings/bruger/dokumenter/sko"
[05:49] <mustard5> TotalNewb, forget that misread it
[05:49] <vbgunz> ok, I killed GDM... easy to tell?
[05:49] <vbgunz> hehe
[05:49] <xman> Reconfiguring seemed to work, but actually had no effect.
[05:49] <xman> Back after lunch
[05:49] <Toma-> can gnome deal with multisession cds?
[05:49] <mustard5> low-batt, ok let me think....one tick
[05:50] <TotalNewb> Arg, this is annoying. I don't have enough room on my desktop. Is there an app anywhere under HH to resize the desktop to a greater resolution? I don't know where to find it.
[05:51] <jono> n #mythtv-users
[05:51] <jono> heya
[05:51] <jono> oops
[05:51] <Welly> TotalNewb, System/Preferences/Screen resolution
[05:51] <Toma-> TotalNewb: hit Ctl-Alt-+ or -
[05:52] <CaBlGuY> mustard5,  ok, if fstab is sayin the drive is already mounted, where would it be??
[05:52] <Toma-> for more fun
[05:52] <mustard5> low-batt try this ... sudo mkdir /mnt/usb/recover
[05:52] <ewald> anyone? apt-get gettext does not work for me - can anyone confirm that it does not work?
[05:52] <mustard5> CaBlGuY, what directory is it mounted on in fstab?
[05:52] <TotalNewb> Weird. It only gives me the one option.
[05:53] <CaBlGuY> mustard5,  says this--->    /dev/hdb1 - already in /etc/fstab
[05:53] <Toma-> ewald: ~$ sudo apt-get install gettext - gettext is already the newest version.
[05:53] <TotalNewb> thanks though, at least I know where it is now. I don't know how I missed it.
[05:53] <CaBlGuY> but ummm   should that be hdb2 ??
[05:53] <Welly> you might need to reconfigure your xserver
[05:53] <CaBlGuY> cuase it's a slave drive..
[05:53] <mustard5> CaBlGuY, type cat /etc/fstab and look in there for the mount point
[05:53] <Welly> TotalNewb, i forget how exactly.. but something like dpkg reconfigure-server xserver-xorg
[05:53] <Welly> or something
[05:54] <robotgeek> CaBlGuY: or mount should show u everything
[05:54] <robotgeek> TotalNewb: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xerver-xorg
[05:54] <GNeRaL> hi
[05:54] <houeland> When trying to install on my laptop, it simply hangs after "Ok, booting the kernel.", how can I figure out what's wrong?
[05:54] <mustard5> low-batt, I'm hoping that will create a directory on your usb drive to put stuff in..and also test access to it
[05:54] <TotalNewb> what is dpkg? I see that all the time.
[05:54] <mustard5> TotalNewb, its a command for installing .deb packages
[05:54] <robotgeek> TotalNewb: man dpkg :)
[05:55] <GNeRaL> http://pastebin.com/412313
[05:55] <GNeRaL> how can  i fix that :|
[05:55] <loufoque> someone knows an utility to extract icons from windows executables ?
[05:55] <mustard5> TotalNewb, as robotgeek says type 'man dpkg' for the manual
[05:55] <CaBlGuY> mustard5,  ok, this is the onely ones it's showing..   /dev/hda1       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[05:55] <CaBlGuY> /dev/hda5       none            swap    sw              0       0
[05:55] <CaBlGuY> so, Im asuming that it's not seein the slaved drive yet ..
[05:55] <ewald> Toma: that only means you have it installed already...
[05:56] <robotgeek> CaBlGuY: that was okay, but don't paste more 2 lines in here!
[05:56] <mustard5> CaBlGuY, your looking for /hda6?
[05:56] <Toma-> i know
[05:56] <GNeRaL> http://pastebin.com/412313 -> :|
[05:56] <CaBlGuY> mustard5,  yur asking me???  d00d, im a n00b remeber..
[05:56] <CaBlGuY> :p
[05:56] <ewald> Toma: I get: gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
[05:56] <robotgeek> GNeRaL: you have a locale error.
[05:56] <mustard5> CaBlGuY, ah ok hdb1 your looking for
[05:56] <CaBlGuY> robotgeek, okey dokey ;)
[05:56] <GNeRaL> robotgeek, can i fix that error ?
[05:57] <Toma-> ewald: clean your cache and try again
[05:57] <CaBlGuY> shouldn't hdb1 be the defualt master??
[05:57] <ewald> Toma: how?
[05:57] <Toma-> apt-get clean
[05:57] <robotgeek> GNeRaL: ppl do know the error, just ask something like this.
[05:57] <mustard5> CaBlGuY, you can join #flood for pasting .. I am in there too
[05:57] <CaBlGuY> mustard5,  I've got a 185 Gig slave drive that's what I want to mount..
[05:57] <GNeRaL> ppl ? who is ? :|
[05:57] <CaBlGuY> mustard5,  ok.
[05:57] <mustard5> quieter too :)
[05:58] <robotgeek> I have a locale error, and i get this "Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory". More details at Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
[05:58] <low-batt> mustard5, ok done what now
[05:58] <mustard5> CaBlGuY, well its confusing since it says they are mounted but its not in fstab..something is amiss .not sure yet
[05:58] <robotgeek> err, that was http://pastebin.com/412313
[05:58] <mustard5> low-batt, any errors?
[05:58] <low-batt> mustard5, no
[05:59] <mustard5> low-batt, ok...thats good
[05:59] <Dr_Willis> could be gnome or somthing auto-mounted it. it dident have to be in fstab then.
[05:59] <Lefungus> Hello all, I was wondering how to import keys for user-uadded repositories
[05:59] <soce_32> GNeRaL: you are setting your language to turkish, do you have the turkish language packs installed?
[06:00] <Lefungus> Currently, synaptic complains about unauthenticated repos
[06:00] <dooglus> I'm trying to burn a DVD image.  The only DVD writer I have is on a Windows box.  I've tried copying the image from ubuntu to a Windows share, but it tells me "File size limit exceeded".  I guess there's a 2Gb limit somewhere.  Any ideas?
[06:00] <mustard5> low-batt try this command ' sudo cp /mnt/hda1/document/* /media/sda1/recover '
[06:00] <PuGz> hey guys, is it possible to do the following from the command line: if evolution is running, focus it. if not, run it.
[06:00] <Toma-> dooglus: is it a fat32 windows machine?
[06:00] <ewald> Toma: now it works ;-) thank you...
[06:00] <Toma-> no probs!
[06:01] <foxgamer> Hi all. Is there someone that can help with a printer problem? Thanks.
[06:01] <GNeRaL> soce_32: now my sistem is totally English. how can i set that locale text to English ?
[06:01] <soce_32> dooglus: can you fire up samba on the ubuntu machine, then mount the network drive and burn that way?
[06:01] <yi> does muine work for anyone under ubuntu amd64?
[06:01] <soce_32> !locale
[06:01] <ubotu> soce_32: I don't know
[06:02] <PuGz> yi: i dont know... but why do you like muine? it seems overly simple
[06:02] <yi> PuGz: because it's simple
[06:02] <yi> :)
[06:02] <PuGz> fair enough
[06:02] <mon> foxgamer: just ask
[06:02] <dooglus> Toma-: it's NTFS, not FAT.  I guess the 2Gb is maybe a SMB limit?
[06:02] <PuGz> yi: do you know how to answer my question above at all?
[06:03] <dooglus> soce_32: that might work, if it's possible to share files that are bigger than 2Gb.  Is it?
[06:03] <ksmurf> can anyone help me set-up vncviewer to be accessable through ssh?  My box at home is always on and I want to access the desktop through ssh.  Can anyone help me set it up?
[06:03] <foxgamer> Thank you. Well, I have a dekjet 5550 printer which was working before, but I had to re-install and now it's not working.
[06:04] <ksmurf> !vncviewer
[06:04] <ubotu> ksmurf: Syntax error in line 1
[06:04] <soce_32> dooglus: the 2GB file size is a limit of the filesystem, so hopefully if you map the network drive and want to burn to the dvd drive, it shouldn't have to touch and fat size issues
[06:04] <mon> foxgamer: is it in the list when you start the add printer thingy?
[06:04] <dooglus> aah.  I read that the 2Gb limit only happens if you use "mount -t smbfs" (like I do).  apparently using 'smbclient' will work better
[06:04] <robotgeek> GNeRaL: though, i think u might want to try this 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure locale'
[06:05] <Toma-> dooglus: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/365343
[06:05] <dooglus> soce_32: I'm using reiserfs on ubuntu and NTFS on Windows - neither has a 2Gb limit
[06:05] <Toma-> that is, if u havent already seen that
[06:05] <foxgamer> mon: No. It comes up when I look at the connected devices, but it's not in the printer add dialog.
[06:05] <GNeRaL> robotgeek: perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
[06:05] <GNeRaL> locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
[06:05] <coolkev> GNeRaL you getting the same error i was getting
[06:06] <PuGz> dooglus: do you know how to focus a program if it is running, and if it is not, run it? the program is evolution
[06:06] <GNeRaL> what should i do ? coolkev?
[06:06] <mon> foxgamer: and it worked in hoary?
[06:06] <robotgeek> PuGz: what do u want to do after that?
[06:06] <dooglus> PuGz: I don't, sorry.
[06:06] <coolkev> GNeRaL I didn't know either, i had to format and re-install hoary cause breezy was a lil f*ed up
[06:06] <foxgamer> I haven't used hoary. I've always had breezy.
[06:06] <dooglus> PuGz: you can check whether it's running with ps.  But focusing it is a window manager thing, and metacity is feature poor.
[06:07] <dooglus> PuGz: so it may not be possible, I don't know.
[06:07] <PuGz> robotgeek: nothing... i just wanna have it so when i press a key sequence it shows me evolution. but i dont wanna have multiple sessions running
[06:07] <mon> foxgamer: what do you mean with it has worked before then?

[06:07] <shtron> Hi, what packeges do I need to play mp3?
[06:07] <mon> !tell shtron about mp3
[06:08] <robotgeek> GNeRaL: gimme a moment
[06:08] <PuGz> robotgeek: do you know how i can do that?
[06:08] <foxgamer> mon: I followed the instructions previously to set it up with breezy from the forums and I managed to get it working happily. I have tried the same things this time, but I can't seem to get it working this time.
[06:08] <TotalNewb> Ok, another really newby question. I am trying to put a theme in and I am trying to put it into a new theme and it asks me a place to install it. I put in /temp is that not proper?
[06:08] <GNeRaL> oky, i waiting robotgeek
[06:08] <mon> foxgamer: you reinstalled breezy?
[06:08] <Dr_Willis> TotalNewb,  a gnome theme?
[06:08] <Earthen> Anyone know how to block MSN messanger with IPtables
[06:08] <TotalNewb> Yes.
[06:08] <PuGz> dooglus: i just wrote a script to toggle a program on and off with a different button... but i was hoping evolution would have an option, or i could pass an argument to it...
[06:08] <shtron> mon: thanks
[06:09] <Dr_Willis> TotalNewb,  the gnome theme control panel has a "install new theme button" that you then locate that file
[06:09] <lancer285> hey guys, is there a way for me to roll back my nvidia drivers using the ubuntu packages??
[06:09] <foxgamer> mon: Yes. I was using the 64bit version, but that was too buggy so I have reverted back to the 32bit version.
[06:09] <glyn> Hi, I made a launcher icon for a program and when I minimize it I can't go back to it in the workspace manager
[06:09] <glyn> anyone have any ideas?
[06:09] <dooglus> PuGz: it might.  I avoid it.
[06:09] <Dr_Willis> TotalNewb,  OR i think you can drag/drop the theme file onto the "theme panel" and it will put it wher eit needs to go.
[06:09] <robotgeek> PuGz: try conditional launchers. advanced tab in shortcuts
[06:09] <bushk> TotalNewb, that's find if you want to do it.  not a conventino i'd follow (/tmp is for random crap that useless after 3 days for me).
[06:09] <mon> foxgamer: ah ok
[06:09] <farruinn> glyn: do you have a window list applet in one of your panels?
[06:09] <Dr_Willis> the system wide (everyone) themes go in one place.. and each user has their own theme dir as well.
[06:10] <TotalNewb> There is a theme manager type thing. I am thinking maybe if I change the theme the resolution selector will unlock so I can change my resolution to anything other than 640x480.
[06:10] <glyn> farruinn: for some reason I didn't..lol I had one before but it disappeared
[06:10] <ETSME> !dhcp
[06:10] <ubotu> ETSME: I give up, what is it?
[06:10] <glyn> farruinn: thanks that fixed it
[06:10] <PuGz> dooglus: why do you avoid it?
[06:10] <Dr_Willis> TotalNewb,  the Themes have NOTHING to do with your systems X resolution.
[06:11] <dooglus> PuGz: it's too big for me - eats too many resources to have it running.
[06:11] <soce_32> how do we train ubotu? that's two i don't knows in the past few minutes
[06:11] <linuxgeek2> how do I change the mousepointers in ubuntu
[06:11] <linuxgeek2> ?
[06:11] <dooglus> PuGz: azureus pretty much kills the system already - I don't want anything else competing with it.
[06:11] <PuGz> dooglus: yeah... it does. what do you use?
[06:11] <Dr_Willis> TotalNewb,  if you are stuck at 640x480 - you need to reconfigure your X system. OR set your monitor correctly.  Or perhaps update your drivers for your video card.
[06:11] <dooglus> PuGz: so I use gmail's web mail for the most part, and emacs's VM for local mail
[06:11] <robotgeek> GNeRaL: i found this --> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-75995.html
[06:12] <PuGz> dooglus: ahh... a bittorren user eh?
[06:12] <foxgamer> mon: When I look at the usb devices that are connected, it recognises the deskjet 5550 printer, but in printer dialog, there's nothing.
[06:12] <dooglus> (I'm scared of wasting memory and I use Emacs?  go figure...)
[06:12] <GNeRaL> robotgeek: thanks. i will
[06:12] <GNeRaL> now
[06:12] <PuGz> dooglus: i never worked out how to make emacs check my mail!
[06:12] <PuGz> dooglus: good point... emacs is a memory hog itself
[06:12] <dooglus> PuGz: there's a package "vm" which is an Emacs mail reader.
[06:12] <PuGz> dooglus: can it check imap? or just unix mailboxes?
[06:12] <dooglus> PuGz: Emacs is a hog, but it's so useful I can't manage without it
[06:13] <PuGz> dooglus: i am the same... love my emacs
[06:13] <sorush20> any gif animation software
[06:13] <dooglus> PuGz: I'll check.  I use just pop3 and local mailboxes
[06:13] <soce_32> sorush20: gimp
[06:13] <dooglus> PuGz: there's a nice IRC client for Emacs too: erc
[06:13] <mon> foxgamer: tried unplugging and plugging it in again? (just a guess)
[06:13] <lancer285> anyone know if I can just install nvidia-glx (1.0.7167-0ubuntu25) by itself if I'm DOWNGRADING? Or do I need the specific kernel package for that release too?
[06:13] <hawking> does anyone use xchat here?  I wrongly closed the menu outside and I can't get it back... can someone help me?
[06:13] <hawking> upside*
[06:13] <sorush20> sorry I missed that what was that?
[06:13] <soce_32> sorush20: gimp
[06:14] <dooglus> PuGz: it does IMAP: vm-imap-server-list: List of IMAP maildrop specifications that tell VM the IMAP servers you have access to and how to log into them
[06:14] <LeeColleton> My printer is printing black text with green ink.  I've replaced my black ink cartridge (in the right spot) with a new one.  It's a HP PSC 1210.  I've applied all updates, deleted and reinserted the printer and it still doesn't work.  Help?
[06:14] <PuGz> dooglus: irc! nice
[06:14] <dooglus> PuGz: Emacs does everything, in case you didn't know.  :)
[06:14] <foxgamer> mon: Yes. I've tried setting it up as cups and bsd-lpr and tried unplugging, turning off and restarting my computer too.
[06:14] <PuGz> dooglus: i am not that familiar with emacs... i will need to investigate
[06:14] <farruinn> lancer285: that version of the drivers is in breezy? (I have ppc, so no i386 archive)
[06:14] <robotgeek> GNeRaL: apparently, its sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[06:14] <Dr_Willis> LeeColleton,  try the text print button on the printer? see if it prints right?
[06:14] <coolkev> how do i become root on ubuntu desktop on haory
[06:14] <PuGz> dooglus: i did know it could do everything...
[06:14] <coolkev> not terminal
[06:14] <farruinn> coolkev: the desktop? why would you need to do that?
[06:14] <PuGz> dooglus: just never explored enough... i am getting there
[06:15] <coolkev> farruinn: can you help me or not
[06:15] <dooglus> PuGz: one thing, if you do try VM, make sure you compile it.  for some odd reason the ubuntu guys decided it's best to run it as source!
[06:15] <lancer285> farruinn, I found the package at packages.ubuntu.com, but when I try to download it, it says file not found on AL the mirrors
[06:15] <farruinn> coolkev: if you need to run a single program as root, do 'gksudo <program>'
[06:15] <foxgamer> mon: Is there any terminal commands that I can try to see if it's working?
[06:15] <mon> foxgamer: hmm pretty weird. i have an usb printer too, but it always works after a unplug/plug
[06:15] <PuGz> dooglus: what do you mean?
[06:15] <Dr_Willis> coolkev,  every time someone comes in here wanting to do somthing like that - its because they dont know the 'better' way to fix whatever their real problem is.
[06:15] <coolkev> farruinn: no as i said i need to be root on the desktop, not terminal, it somehting i can't explain now
[06:15] <robotgeek> GNeRaL: u there? try sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[06:15] <mon> foxgamer: try "dmesg" for printer related stuff
[06:15] <PuGz> dooglus: they left it as a package that installs source?
[06:16] <farruinn> coolkev: gksudo is used for graphical programs, not the terminal
[06:16] <GNeRaL> yes i back
[06:16] <hawking> I want a command to be executed every start-up.how can set it?
[06:16] <GNeRaL> ok
[06:16] <farruinn> coolkev: it's used when you run synaptic, etc
[06:16] <coolkev> farruinn: it's not for a program
[06:16] <GNeRaL> i will now
[06:16] <coolkev> it's for the entire system
[06:16] <coolkev> i want to be root
[06:16] <Dr_Willis> hawking,  depends on the program.
[06:16] <soce_32> hawking: for any user, or when you log in?
[06:16] <farruinn> then use windows
[06:16] <hawking> for any user
[06:17] <TotalNewb> I give up. It won't let me change the resolution. I'll just try upgrading to Breezy. It has "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-base ubuntu-desktop" listed as a command. I just put that in the terminal, yes?
[06:17] <Dr_Willis> TotalNewb,  was the res correct befor you updated?
[06:17] <dooglus> PuGz: Emacs stuff is written in "Emacs LISP".  The files are .el files.  You can "byte compile" .el files to .elc files.  .elc files run a lot quicker.  the vm package installs .el files and doesn't compile them.  I reported this as a bug and was told that they don't NEED compiling.  It's true, it's not necessary, but it does make them a lot quicker, so why not do it?
[06:17] <lucky_strike> musard5: i have found this package "gstreamer0.8-lame" in another category - does it make any difference?..
[06:17] <LeeColleton> Dr_Willis: the printer is also a scanner/copier and those functions work fine in color and black ink
[06:18] <coolkev> farruinn: I just need to do soemthing could you please guide me to where i can find the information as how to be root on my own system? like i don't understand why you would not ust tell me, i'm aware of the consequences of this action and if soemthign emsses up, i will not blame you
[06:18] <foxgamer> mon: I'm getting lots of strange keycode errors. Would you have a look if I paste it to the paste bin?
[06:18] <robotgeek> hawking: put all the things you want to bring up at boot (if they are services), in a script, and put it in /etc/init.d/ and add to runtime by using the update-rc.d command
[06:18] <iiiears> TotalNewb - Do you have an nvidia card?  you could have a copy of my xorg.conf
[06:18] <blueblood> Anyone got Quake4 running on Ubuntu amd64?
[06:18] <TotalNewb> I haven't updated yet. I have just installed HH for the first time. The res is locked at 640x480 60htz and it won't let me change it.
[06:18] <PuGz> dooglus: understand
[06:18] <bluefrog-10> coolkev, sudo su
[06:18] <Dr_Willis> LeeColleton,  ahh.. for my HP1200C scanner/printer/copier - i had to start the HPLJsomthing service...
[06:18] <farruinn> coolkev: tbh I have no idea as it's not something I've ever needed (or can comprehend needing) to do
[06:18] <PuGz> dooglus: how do i compile them? where are they located
[06:18] <mon> foxgamer:  i get some of those too, that's no problem. but post it anyway yeah
[06:18] <TotalNewb> what is xorg.conf?
[06:18] <hawking> robotgeek: with script you mean a shell script or any kind of script?
[06:18] <coolkev> bluefrog-10: finally thank you
[06:18] <NoUse> !tell TotalNewb about fixres
[06:18] <TotalNewb> I'm honestly not sure what kind of card I have.
[06:18] <farruinn> coolkev: sudo su is for terminal
[06:19] <robotgeek> hawking: usually they are shell, but my guess is that any would work
[06:19] <bluefrog-10> coolkev, but sudo works the same...
[06:19] <coolkev> farruinn: Then why would you go on suggesting alternatives, i mislead me to believe you knew
[06:19] <mozinator> welcome everyone
[06:19] <ksmurf> can anyone help me set-up vncviewer to be accessable through ssh?  My box at home is always on and I want to access the desktop through ssh.  Can anyone help me set it up?
[06:19] <ETSME> !fonts
[06:19] <ubotu> methinks fonts is https://wiki.ubuntu.com//FontInstallHowto
[06:19] <foxgamer> mon. Thanks. It's at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3882
[06:19] <ksmurf> or freeNX
[06:19] <farruinn> coolkev: my apologies
[06:19] <iiiears> TotalNewb, - it is the file in /etc/ thay is adjusted by dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:19] <coolkev> bluefrog-10: wht you told me is for use in terminal i want to have root access on the system not in terminal but in the graphical desktop X
[06:19] <Danny|> how do i set how many lines the mouse wheel scrools?
[06:19] <TotalNewb> Cool. I'll give it a whirl.
[06:20] <mustard5> low-batt, how did it go?
[06:20] <bluefrog-10> coolkev, with no offence, if you need to know how to become root u should stick with sudo
[06:20] <Dr_Willis> coolkev,  you mean you want to login to X as root. not just run a specific program as root?
[06:20] <mon> foxgamer: you're supposed to give something else then <keycode> to the setkeycodes command ;)
[06:20] <coolkev> yes Dr_Willis
[06:20] <penguin_> hi everyone.... Im having a problem installing ubunu on my main system - everything installed fine but when X starts the monitors dont like the rez, how can I fix this? Everything is working great on my laptop...
[06:20] <iiiears> TotalNewb - lspci in a terminal will tell you what devices are plugged into the pci bus.  ls = list pci = pci bus
[06:20] <mon> foxgamer: anyway, there should be more... try dmesg |less
[06:20] <hawking> robotgeek: what do i have to put in the beginning of a shell script I mean in python for example I put #!/usr/bin/python
[06:20] <farruinn> penguin_: if it's a PC you probably need to install your graphics drivers
[06:20] <Dr_Willis> coolkev,  and THE ubuntu guys logic is "we spent a lot of time so you DONT have to do that" :P is what they are getting at.
[06:21] <vbgunz> hey everyone, I'd like to make a theme for Gnome... Where do I begin... Anybody got a link or resource? I am about to Google...
[06:21] <lucky_strike> does it make any difference if the package i was looking for is in another category it should be?..
[06:21] <Dr_Willis> coolkev,  so they wan tto know what you are possibially doing that needs to do it..
[06:21] <robotgeek> hawking: yep
[06:21] <robotgeek> vbgunz: art.gnome.org
[06:21] <coolkev> Dr_Willis: I need to do it, can you help me or tell me or no?
[06:21] <vbgunz> robotgeek: ok will check
[06:21] <Dr_Willis> coolkev,  GDM is set to prevent root logging in that way also.
[06:21] <mon> hawking: !#/bin/bash or sh instead of bash. depends..
[06:21] <hawking> mon : thx
[06:21] <hawking> mon: guess it is #!/bin/bash right?
[06:22] <gauros> helllo
[06:22] <mon> hawking: yeah that'll work
[06:22] <gauros> i need some help] 
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> coolkev,  kill GDM. go to console.. login as user. sudo  startx   - may do it.. or just set a root password.
[06:22] <bluefrog-10> foxgamer, mv or rm /etc/init.d/hotkeysetup and reboot. there won't be any more msg. or u need to find what key gives the msg and assign a shortcut to i
[06:22] <coolkev> Dr_Willis: how can i overwrite this, like i don't understand other linux distro's allow this funtion, why is ubuntu set up to prevent users from doing this, i don't ehre alot of dumb ass out there but soemtimes people need to login as root for their own personal needs
[06:22] <robotgeek> gauros: just state your problem.
[06:23] <iiiears> TotalNewb  - had you seen the link for display resolution ubotu posted?
[06:23] <robotgeek> coolkev: you don't need to be logged into root
[06:23] <penguin_> farruinn: my card is an nvidia, same as the latop - assuming that X is using the nv driver it is working just the rez is not compatible with the monitors so they just blink at me - how can I reduce the rez so I can use it and then reconfig it all?
[06:23] <iiiears> !fixres
[06:23] <robotgeek> !tell coolkev about root
[06:23] <ubotu> well, fixres is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:23] <yohan> anyone know a good guide to install jdk?
[06:23] <gauros> ok i have Binatone ADSL 2000
[06:23] <foxgamer> Thank you bluefrog-10, I'll give that a go. I didn't want to restart again, but anything to get the printer working! hehe
[06:23] <yohan> or is free-java-sdk the one?
[06:23] <bluefrog-10> coolkev, ubuntu doens't prvent anything, it's just setup to avid too big a mistake
[06:23] <gauros> router and i have connected it with USB
[06:23] <ETSME> thanks ubotu
[06:23] <coolkev> robotgeek: i'll decied what i need and don't need i just need to know how to do it
[06:23] <gauros> and i dont know what to do next
[06:23] <LeeColleton> my HP PSC 1210 is printing black text with GREEN ink.  WTFOMGBBQ
[06:24] <farruinn> penguin_: do you know how to switch to the fullscreen cli?
[06:24] <bluefrog-10> foxgamer, sry i thought u were the one with the keycode errors.
[06:24] <robotgeek> coolkev: okay, whatever floats your boat.
[06:24] <gauros> as i just installed ubuntu
[06:24] <foxgamer> oh! no. printer problem.
[06:24] <iiiears> coolkev - gksudo <graphical application name>   or sudo su   or check this link.
[06:24] <iiiears> !rootsudo
[06:24] <ubotu> methinks rootsudo is at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo
[06:24] <robotgeek> gauros: i would suggest searching on wiki.ubuntu.com if your modem is addressed
[06:24] <dooglus> bum!  I still can't get this big file copied onto the windows box.
[06:24] <MarcN> LeeColleton: are you out of black ink?
[06:25] <penguin_> farruinn: im in cli now if thats what you mean...
[06:25] <iiiears> Welcome to the linux community. ;)
[06:25] <dooglus> I used to use mount -t smbfs, but that doesn't work for files >2Gb.  so now I'm trying to use smbclient, but that doesn't seem to work for directories with 'funny' characters in their names
[06:25] <farruinn> penguin_: install the binary drivers following that wiki page I sent you
[06:25] <foxgamer> I've just changed the usb port, so I'm going to restart to see if it picks it up...
[06:25] <GNeRaL> how can i remove "openoffice" from aptitude i cant :||
[06:26] <soce_32> dooglus: can you just pull the dvd drive and put it on the ubunutu box?
[06:26] <yohan> im using amd64 :/, anyone have a install jdk guide?
[06:26] <gauros> ubuntu recognises the router
[06:26] <yohan> why isnt there just a apt-get install updated version
[06:26] <soce_32> dooglus: or look into split
[06:26] <blueblood> how do I connect to another linuxbox? (Used putty in windows)
[06:26] <soce_32> blueblood: ssh
[06:27] <darksatanic> yohan: Install "java-package", download the JRE .bin file, run make-jpkg on the .bin file, install the resulting .deb file with dpkg.
[06:27] <MarcN> blueblood: ssh yourname@thatbox
[06:27] <NoUse> yohan if you call apt-get install on an already installed app, it will install the updated version
[06:27] <leblane> can anyone tell my how to make postgres 8.0 on breezy to listen on tcp?
[06:27] <blueblood> thanks :)
[06:27] <miguel_> buenas
[06:27] <GNeRaL> blueblood: did u try ssh <hostname> -l <username> ?
[06:27] <yohan> i have JRE installed but i want JDK
[06:27] <NoUse> yohan a jdk isn't a different version of a jre
[06:27] <miguel_> buenas tardes desde espaa
[06:27] <darksatanic> yohan: Then download the JDK from Sun, and do the same thing.
[06:27] <yohan> JRE worked fine exacly with that instruction
[06:28] <NoUse> yohan thats two different software packages
[06:28] <yohan> darksatanic: i get this error:
[06:28] <darksatanic> So does the JDK.
[06:28] <darksatanic> I have it running on here.

[06:28] <gauros> why does not synaptic package comes up
[06:28] <yohan> im reading this version:
[06:28] <yohan> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaPackageBuildNewVersions
[06:28] <GNeRaL> !aptitude
[06:28] <ubotu> hmm... aptitude is like apt-get or synaptic, but uses a full-screen text interface, or the replacement/user front end for apt-get as of Debian Sarge
[06:28] <yohan> but the fix for my error doesnt work
[06:28] <yohan> im using amd64 not i486
[06:29] <TotalNewb> Ok, I'm in the set up and it's asking me to set up a meta-key? What's a meta-key? The "altwin:meta_win" thing.
[06:29] <yohan> ubotu: i did those steps but the fakeroot make-jpkg step doesnt work

[06:30] <yohan> doesnt anyone here use amd64 that knows how to install?
[06:30] <gauros> i have amd64
[06:30] <darksatanic> All I can say is that I didn't encounter that error. :(
[06:30] <TotalNewb> Sorry Yohan. I'm clueless.
[06:31] <iiiears> TotalNewb - the defaults are okay until you get power hungry for personilzation linux is like that. ;)
[06:31] <farruinn> gauros: go to file>advanced for the familiar interface
[06:31] <iiiears> TotalNewb - let's get the display setup.
[06:31] <yohan> gauros: how did you install jdk? (if you did))
[06:31] <TotalNewb> Does the windows key do anything under linux? I was going to make it a meta-key so it would be useful.
[06:31] <gauros> i am trying to install it
[06:31] <gauros> now
[06:32] <Bonzodog> TotalNewb: you have assign it an event
[06:32] <iiiears> did you get the link to !fixres ubotu posted?
[06:32] <Dr_Willis> TotalNewb,  ive seen some window managers use it for different affects
[06:32] <TotalNewb> Oh, well if the Meta-key isn't important I will ignore it.
[06:32] <gauros> farruinn:where is that
[06:32] <yohan> gauros: thats good...tell me if you succeed :)
[06:32] <Bonzodog> it doesn't do anything on this box
[06:32] <gauros> okie
[06:32] <farruinn> gauros: when you clicked on add applications, did it open a window at all?
[06:32] <dooglus> soce_32: the windows box isn't mine, so I can't take the dvd drive from it.  (if it WAS mine, it wouldn't be a windows box, of course :) )
[06:32] <gauros> farruinn:no
[06:32] <TotalNewb> I thought it was something that was needed the way it talks about it. If it's just a tweak I'll do that later.
[06:33] <dooglus> soce_32: split is ok, but I wouldn't trust the Windows box to reassemble the parts correctly.  what would you do?  copy part1+part2 file.iso?  or what?
[06:33] <TotalNewb> Thanks :)
[06:33] <farruinn> gauros: what happens when you run 'gksudo synaptic &' from the terminal?
[06:33] <GNeRaL> who man can help to me about this issue -> http://pastebin.com/412352 ?

[06:34] <TaQ> hey, there is some place I can download the sources.list that comes with Breezy? my wife changed it and didn't do backups (to be honest she did, but then overwrited it with the new file ehehe).
[06:35] <carl> can a partition table have 4 partitions and some unpartitioned space?
[06:35] <caffinated> hi, I've recently upgraded to breezy, and I'm having some issues getting a package installed.  I'm wondering if there is any way to get the older libraries back so my dev environment isn't broken.  output can be found at: http://pastebin.com/412353
[06:35] <iiiears> from the terminal aptitude might be easier.
[06:35] <GURT> TaQ: yeah hold on
[06:35] <dooglus> GNeRaL: what happens if you use "sudo" instead?
[06:35] <farruinn> iiiears: hrm, I just tried 'synaptic &' here and it said "must run as root"
[06:35] <erUSUL> !tell TaQ about repos
[06:35] <penguin_> i've got some broken configuration issues that is preventing me from using X (no keyboard, bad rez) - does anyone know how to fix this from the cmd line?
[06:35] <gauros> same here
[06:35] <TaQ> thanks GURT, erUSUL
[06:36] <carl> other than gparted, what will resize a partition?
[06:36] <NoUse> caffinated can you pastebin your sources.list file?
[06:36] <GNeRaL> dooglus: but im root ?
[06:36] <dooglus> TaQ: http://pastebin.ubuntulinux.nl/3883 is a script which can regenerate your sources.list
[06:36] <caffinated> NoUse: sure, one moment.
[06:36] <robotgeek> GNeRaL: did the sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales not work?
[06:36] <dooglus> GNeRaL: could you answer the question please?

[06:37] <anand> fff
[06:37] <farruinn> penguin_: the binary drivers didn't fix? if you don't think you have the right packages installed you can run 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'
[06:37] <bluefrog-10> carl, yes but depending on how ur partition are placed, u may have pb to use the free space later, it will be doable but painfull
[06:37] <foxgamer> mon: I have loaded up foomatic, and all I'm getting is a list of serial ports and no usb ports to choose from. Does this mean something is not installed do you think?
[06:37] <teers> Hi
[06:37] <GNeRaL> robotgeek - dooglus: http://pastebin.com/412356
[06:37] <penguin_> farruinn:I need to be able to use the window manager to get to it (according to the web page), cant use X =(
[06:37] <caffinated> NoUse: http://pastebin.com/412357
[06:37] <teers> Can we bother people with questions here?
[06:37] <LeeColleton> MarcN: Nope, I changed my black ink cartridge.  HPIJS driver is foobar.
[06:37] <farruinn> penguin_: can you use X on the laptop to follow the wiki?
[06:38] <robotgeek> teers: sure :)
[06:38] <penguin_> farruinn: yeah - the laptop is working fine (using it now)
[06:38] <teers> I found it interesting
[06:38] <thirso> has anyone played Alien Arena yet?
[06:38] <teers> I have an ASUS Travelmate 505 laptop with ubuntu 5.4 on it
[06:38] <farruinn> penguin_: copy that link into a browser on the laptop then and see if the binary drivers help
[06:38] <NoUse> caffinated you may try to manually install those depedencies that apt is complaining about, specify each package to apt-get
[06:38] <thirso> native online free game,
[06:39] <thirso> http://red.planetarena.org/
[06:39] <caffinated> NoUse: ok, I'll give that a shot.  thanks.
[06:39] <penguin_> farruinn: any idea why my keyboard stopped working when I switched back to X?
[06:39] <MarcN> LeeColleton: I was just guessing.  I don't have any linux-attached printers.  All networked.
[06:39] <robotgeek> GNeRaL: try installing it then, sudo apt-get install locales
[06:39] <teers> tried to install 5.1 and could not load the cd driver at install
[06:39] <gauros> does anyone know any other ways of running synaptic
[06:39] <farruinn> penguin_: that's something I've not encountered
[06:39] <teers> Any ideas why the 'old' version works but not the newer?
[06:39] <warreng> if i'm on a shell account, how would i find out what OS the machine is runing? uname -a doesn't tell me
[06:40] <wdh> for some reason the 'add applications' button disappeared from my 'Applications' menu.. any ideas how i can add it again?
[06:40] <robotgeek> gauros: 'gksudo synaptic' not work?
[06:40] <penguin_> farruinn: great, lol
[06:40] <lancer285> hey guys, is there a how-to somewhere on installing the official nvidia drivers instead of the ubuntu packaged ??
[06:40] <TotalNewb> You know, this is really cool that they installed this IRC thing by defualt. This is great having instant help. :)
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> this irc thing? :P
[06:40] <wdh> warreng, if they dont want you to know.. it'll be hard :P
[06:40] <iiiears> penguin_ - yes - if you used dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg in terminal than started the xserver the new settings were used as x started again
[06:40] <NoUse> lancer285 its really better to stick with the ubuntu packaged ones
[06:40] <gauros> robotgeek: o get this "unable to lookup  via gethostbyname()
[06:40] <gauros> "
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> THe installer needs to fire up Irssi and send the user to #ubuntu-Install-chat : while it installs.
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> Lol
[06:41] <lancer285> NoUse, I need to roll back the version, and I'm having lots of problems even finding it. Any ideas??
[06:41] <penguin_> iiiears: kk - Ill try that...
[06:41] <robotgeek> gauros: hmm, that error is caused because you/something changed stuff in /etc/hosts
[06:41] <dooglus> TotalNewb: they didn't just install IRC - they installed the whole Internet!
[06:41] <NoUse> lancer285 nvidia has generic instructions on their site
[06:41] <lancer285> NoUse, okay.
[06:41] <robotgeek> dooglus: also paid Al Gore to license it
[06:42] <dooglus> robotgeek: I thought it was invented by Bill Gates, not Al Gore, no?
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> Porn:  the reason AL Gore invented the Internet... for Bill Clinton.
[06:42] <robotgeek> :)
[06:43] <mon> foxgamer: you loaded foomatic? as in what
[06:43] <iiiears> Al Gore actually recieved an award for supporting internet funding legislation
[06:43] <mon> foxgamer: i thought you started the "printers" dialog
[06:44] <Steffen> hi
[06:44] <rain`> Hi, when I drag to select text, and then move up or down in the page to select more text, it scrolls REALLY fast...it doesnt scroll near that fast when I am using the scroll wheel on my mouse...how do I slow this down?
[06:44] <foxgamer> mon: There is nothing in the printer dialog so I have installed foomatic to see if it would automatically connect to the printer, but still nothing.
[06:44] <robotgeek> gauros: that error should not be worrisome, though
[06:45] <gauros> robotgeek:what can i do
[06:45] <Steffen> does the live system save any prefs on windows partitions?
[06:45] <iiiears> Steffen - no, none
[06:45] <robotgeek> gauros: did you change your hostname or something similiar?
[06:45] <gauros> robotgeek:yes
[06:45] <gauros> i did
[06:45] <Steffen> iiiears, thx, but why does the system ask on exit etc. "do you want to safe prefs"? :-)
[06:45] <gauros> but cannot go to network to fix it
[06:46] <robotgeek> gauros: not to worry, stuff will be okay next time you reboot.
[06:46] <iiiears> Trust me it doesn't
[06:46] <gauros> ok so i will reboot now
[06:46] <gauros> thanx i will try it
[06:46] <gauros> robotgeek:one more quest
[06:46] <Bonzodog> we all know that the internet was around before bill gates got his hands on it...linus torvalds released the initial version of the linux kernel from helsinki in 1991
[06:46] <Steffen> iiiears, i believe in your answer, just asked myself :)
[06:47] <Bonzodog> I was using the net on an apple in 96
[06:47] <gauros> robotgeek:where can i find usb drivers for binatone adsl 3000 router
[06:47] <foxgamer> mon: If the printer is being recognised on one of the usb connections, is there a way that I can find out the usb interface details so I could use those in foomatic?
[06:47] <gauros> robotgeek:adsl 2000
[06:47] <iiiears> Steffen - it cannot write to an ntfs partition even when it is installed unless you configure it to.
[06:47] <gauros> robotgeek:now i am connected through ethernet
[06:47] <Bonzodog> Tim Berners-Lee invented the WWW in 1993
[06:47] <gauros> robotgeek:but i need ethernet for dreambox
[06:47] <skiy> Hello folks, I have an odd problem on the LiveCD I hope you can help with.
[06:47] <robotgeek> gauros: i am not sure. please ask uncle google :)
[06:47] <gauros> robotgeek:haha okie i will
[06:47] <gauros> robotgeek:thanx
[06:48] <skiy> I can "ping www.google.com" successfully, and it even returns the IP address
[06:48] <Steffen> iiiears, so is there any option to save prefs e.g. on floppy or something else or is live cd only for testing purposes?
[06:48] <skiy> however if I use firefox or anything else to access "www.google.com" it will not find it
[06:48] <skiy> however I can type the IP address into firefox and it will work
[06:48] <jrydberg-> Do anyone know of any prebuilt -mm kernels that has the additional ubuntu paches applied?
[06:48] <iiiears> Steffen - i don't know. - btu guessing no.
[06:48] <mon> foxgamer: back :)
[06:48] <skiy> it seems that ping is the only program that will work ?
[06:49] <thirso> can you run two programs that use OSS at the same time?
[06:49] <TotalNewb> BRB, going to reboot. Wish me luck :)
[06:49] <robotgeek> thirso: nope, you need esd to do all the funky stuff. AFAIK
[06:49] <skiy> good luck totalnewb
[06:49] <foxgamer> mon: cool. :)
[06:49] <Bonzodog> That live CD is good for demonstration and fast access to installed partitions....
[06:50] <Bonzodog> I would recommend doing an install of ubuntu
[06:50] <foxgamer> mon: I am fairly new to all of this, but I'm not afraid to try anything (and I want ot learn it anyhoo)
[06:50] <crown> Hello All. What can I do to install skype if it require the libqt3c102-mt ?
[06:50] <skiy> oh it seems to work now ;)
[06:50] <crown> ubuntu 5.10 here
[06:50] <blueblood> anyone got Quake4 working on a amd64 system?
[06:50] <Bonzodog> yeah, I find net connections are funny on Live CD's
[06:50] <Steffen> Bonzodog, ok, thx ... but my funky ibook only has 20 GB HDD and i would like to run OS X and Ubuntu :)
[06:50] <mon> foxgamer: well that's the right attitude :) don't know much about printing either though...
[06:50] <mon> blueblood: tried the forums?
[06:51] <davix> I'm looking for software which can teach me math from the basics and up for linux, any ideas?
[06:51] <mon> foxgamer: you've used the app under System, management, Printing?
[06:51] <robotgeek> !tell david about cli
[06:51] <blueblood> yea, but everywere I see they say the got the libsdl1.2 for 32bit system
[06:51] <thirso> robotgeek: but i use VLC to play mp3 and stuff, i have it setup to use ALSA, but then i also run aMsn and it doenst have any config related to that, so i cant get any sound on it when im running VLC, is there anything i can do?
[06:51] <blueblood> mon, and I can't do that :/
[06:51] <mon> blueblood: why's that
[06:51] <abarbaccia> hey all - anybody using breezy with an nVidia TV-Out?
[06:51] <robotgeek> pabloesc: please fix your irc client
[06:51] <blueblood> I don't know  how
[06:51] <iiiears> davix - try synaptic  bsdgames -  if memory serves
[06:52] <blueblood> noone types how they did.. Just like "Took it from UT2005", "Took it from nwn"
[06:52] <mon> blueblood: ubuntuforums.org?
[06:52] <blueblood> don't have any of those games.
[06:52] <blueblood> mon, yes
[06:52] <mon> blueblood: ah i missed the libsdl message
[06:52] <davix> erm
[06:52] <foxgamer> mon: I have, but nothing there. I have got foomatic asking for interface details of the usb port, do you know where I can get these details?
[06:52] <mon> blueblood: i guess you could PM someone to mail it to you or something
[06:53] <thirso> robotgeek: is there?
[06:53] <blueblood> mon, guess I could do that
[06:53] <iiiears> davix - likely a few more apps on sourceforge.net
[06:53] <mon> foxgamer: lsusb?
[06:53] <robotgeek> thirso: hmm, i am not sure. i am pretty sure it needs esd. i am pulling up a link for ya
[06:53] <mon> foxgamer: lsusb -v for more info
[06:54] <gauros> robotgeek:just rebooted
[06:54] <gauros> still the same
[06:54] <rain`> Anyone know why the ondemand governor works much better than the userspace governor? The userspace one seems to lag at actually increasing the speed of the cpu, where the ondemand one increases it instantly...
[06:54] <robotgeek> thirso: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/26/system-sounds-and-application-sounds/
[06:54] <ksmurf> anyone know how to get FreeNX up and running?
[06:54] <gauros> robotgeek:i cannot even edit the hosts file
[06:54] <thirso> robotgeek: k ill try that
[06:54] <davix> will try, tnx iiiears.
[06:54] <ksmurf> or How to use vncserver through ssh remotly?
[06:54] <robotgeek> gauros: can u paste your /etc/hosts file to pastebin. u need sudo
[06:54] <iiiears> !freenx
[06:55] <ubotu> I guess freenx is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreeNX
[06:55] <TotalNewb> Yay! I can see!
[06:55] <foxgamer> mon: I can see the printer there, but I can't do anything with it.
[06:55] <iiiears> outstanding TotalNewb! :)
[06:55] <robotgeek> TotalNewb: awesome!
[06:55] <mon> foxgamer: i'm not sure what kind of usb info you need? what foomatic app do you start?
[06:55] <mustard5> what can you do if you have mounted an ntfs drive and its saying giving permission errors when you browse to its mount point?
[06:56] <gauros> no
[06:56] <TotalNewb> And I said let there be Resolution and Resolution was good!
[06:56] <iiiears> TotalNeb - bring up a terminal and type glxgears (see what your accelerated framerate is
[06:56] <gauros> robotgeek:how can i go it
[06:56] <foxgamer> mon: It's the foomatic-gui. It initially comes up with serial ports, but says if I want usb connection, I have to put in interface details similar to: ipp://192.168.1.1/printers/LJ4 (that's what it says)
[06:57] <robotgeek> gauros: okay, what are the outputs of 'hostname', and 'hostname --fqdn' and are they the same as you set it to?
[06:57] <dooglus> mustard5: you could "ls -ld" on the mount point and tell us what it says
[06:57] <mon> foxgamer: how'd you start the gui?
[06:57] <Distro^Junkie> how do I get amarok 1.3.5 ?
[06:57] <TotalNewb> 511 frames in 5.0 seconds = 102.200 FPS
[06:57] <TotalNewb> 452 frames in 5.0 seconds = 90.400 FPS
[06:57] <TotalNewb> 449 frames in 5.0 seconds = 89.800 FPS
[06:57] <TotalNewb> 450 frames in 5.0 seconds = 90.000 FPS
[06:57] <TotalNewb> 452 frames in 5.0 seconds = 90.400 FPS
[06:57] <TotalNewb> 452 frames in 5.0 seconds = 90.400 FPS
[06:57] <foxgamer> through terminal (sudo)
[06:57] <mustard5> dooglus, it just got fixed with a reboot...problem solved thanks anywyay ;)
[06:57] <robotgeek> TotalNewb: don't paste in here!
[06:58] <robotgeek> Distro^Junkie: apt-get install amarok
[06:58] <mustard5> dooglus, changed all fstab and did mount -a ..no luck...rebooted and its fine
[06:58] <mon> foxgamer: i do have some foomatic-* commmands, but no foomatic-gui?
[06:58] <Distro^Junkie> it only gives 1.3.1 though robotgeek
[06:58] <iiiears> TotalNewb - okay we likely can improve that if you have a recent nvidia or ati card
[06:58] <dooglus> mustard5: "mount -a" won't remount anything.  you'd need to umount it first then mount it again
[06:58] <foxgamer> mon: I had to install it as an extra package. It didn't come as standard.
[06:58] <gauros> robotgeek:i cannot look it up as i keep getting the sam error
[06:58] <robotgeek> Distro^Junkie: u'll have to compile it on your own
[06:59] <Distro^Junkie> I know kubuntu has it
[06:59] <TotalNewb> It's ok. I never game or anything.
[06:59] <ghb> On MAC laptops, I've heard that there's something called "Accidental Touch", that removes the action of when you accidently touches the mousepad. Is there such an application to Ubuntu? Kind of annoying when you're typing and the pointer all of the sudden jumps to somewhere else...
[06:59] <mustard5> dooglus, I'll remember that for future reference :)
[06:59] <TotalNewb> This rate is fine. It's an old 500mgz PIII computer. It's just for web browsing and such.
[07:00] <robotgeek> ghb: yes there is
[07:00] <dooglus> ghb: there's something which disables the mousepad while you're typing.
[07:00] <_jason> ghb:  wow that is sucha  great idea... i wish there was cus then I wouldn't disable mine
[07:00] <mon> automaticly?
[07:00] <TotalNewb> But thanks for all the help :)
[07:00] <robotgeek> ghb: it's called disable touchpad when typing :)
[07:00] <ghb> robotgeek: Right... How do I do that then...? ^
[07:00] <ghb> ^^
[07:00] <robotgeek> ghb: sudo gedit /etc/pbbuttonsd.conf
[07:01] <foxgamer> mon: I've just found that I don't have anything in my printers.conf file in /etc/cups/ Do I need to put something in here?
[07:01] <mon> foxgamer: anyway: the ipp://addres thingy looks like something i used in cups. when it's already installed that is..
[07:01] <robotgeek> ghb: in [module PMAC]  NoTapTyping           = yes
[07:01] <mon> foxgamer: yes it shouldn't be empty. but the gnome gui should handle that for you...
[07:01] <iiiears> TotalNewb - okay for ati the word to remember is fglrx for nVidia it is nvidia   - if like me you had onboard no name brand graphics grab an inexpensive pci graphics online less than 50 bucks
[07:01] <enrico> Hello.  Just installed a fresh breezy and it can't mount CD or floppy giving a UDI error.  Appearently this is a known issue and fixed packages exist.  Will there be some breezy update to fix it?
[07:01] <robotgeek> ghb: then sudo /etc/init.d/pbbuttonsd restart
[07:02] <dooglus> ghb: syndaemon -  a program  that monitors keyboard  activity anddisables the touchpad when the keyboard is being used.
[07:02] <ghb> robotgeek: I can't find that file... =(
[07:02] <joachim_> feed readers: blam or liferea?
[07:02] <mon> foxgamer: i guess i'm out of options... if it isn't in gnome-printing thingy's list
[07:02] <robotgeek> joachim_: liferea :)
[07:02] <ghb> dooglus: Nice -- will install that. ^^
[07:02] <foxgamer> mon: cool. It's just frustrating that it's there, the system says it's there, but it won't let me set it up.
[07:02] <mon> joachim_: liferea
[07:02] <dooglus> ghb: I guess it only works with synaptic touchpads - is that what you have?
[07:03] <bachstudies> whois bachstudies
[07:03] <foxgamer> mon: Okay, well you have given me a few more things to think about, so I'll have a mooch around and see if I can get it working.
[07:03] <joachim_> thanks :)
[07:03] <mon> foxgamer: i understand the frustration :) especially since it has worked..
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> sudo synaptic
[07:03] <dooglus> ghb: it's in /usr/bin/syndaemon - you probably already have it installed
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> doh.. :P
[07:03] <ghb> dooglus: Synaptic touchpads...? I got the kind of touchpad you usually find on a laptop... =/
[07:03] <dooglus> ghb: that's right.
[07:03] <Distro^Junkie> does ubuntu still have backports ?
[07:03] <robotgeek> ghb: i assumed u were on a mac, are u on a mac?
[07:03] <TotalNewb> BRB.
[07:03] <robotgeek> Distro^Junkie: no backports for breezt
[07:03] <Distro^Junkie> ok
[07:04] <iiiears> Distro^Junkie, - i think it is available for hoary only
[07:04] <ghb> robotgeek: No, I'm on a PC.
[07:04] <robotgeek> ghb: i tht u were on a mac, ignore all that i said. sorry!
[07:04] <dooglus> Distro^Junkie: there are no backports for breezy yet, because there's almost nothing newer to backport from...
[07:04] <ghb> robotgeek: Oh no worries. ^^
[07:04] <cony> r4vtnymi
[07:04] <Distro^Junkie> thanx
[07:04] <enrico> No answer.  So this CD and floppy problem is not that much of a known issue?
[07:04] <ghb> dooglus: I think it's installed. I can find the files and all, but how do I activate it?
[07:04] <mustard5> enrico, you on laptop?
[07:05] <enrico> mustard5: no, on desktop
[07:05] <Distro^Junkie> how do I install a .deb I diwnloaded ?
[07:05] <dooglus> ghb: "man syndaemon" will tell you
[07:05] <Distro^Junkie> downloaded*
[07:05] <robotgeek> Distro^Junkie: sudo dpkg -i
[07:05] <Distro^Junkie> k
[07:05] <ghb> dooglus: Ah yes... "Man knows..." ^^
[07:05] <mustard5> enrico, so you found a bug listed for it?
[07:05] <iiiears> Distro^Junkie, sudo dpkg -i
[07:05] <penguin_> errrr - I got the monitor working, but gnome is not starting up - the reason the keyboard isnt working I think... Do I need to reinstall?
[07:06] <enrico> mustard5: yes, 17562.  Which end in a 'fixed and uploaded for dapper', but doens't mention breezy
[07:06] <cronik> how can i kill something that is running?
[07:06] <cronik> how can i kill something that is running?
[07:06] <enrico> mustard5: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17562
[07:06] <mustard5> enrico, hmmmm.... I can only assume its going to made available at some stage
[07:06] <Bols> cronik, strl + c
[07:07] <thirso> robotgeek: didnt work :/ it still says /dev/dsp is alredy in use
[07:07] <cronik> thanks
[07:07] <iiiears> penguin_ - likely the bus id or framebuffer isn't set uo correctly, - no need for reinstall
[07:07] <enrico> mustard5: yup.  I was wondering how this things usually go
[07:07] <iiiears> 1fixres
[07:07] <iiiears> !fixres
[07:07] <ubotu> fixres is, like, http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[07:07] <thirso> !oss
[07:07] <ubotu> thirso: I haven't a clue
[07:07] <cronik> u meen ctrl
[07:07] <penguin_> iiiears: X is working fine though, I have the mouse cursor and I nice brown screen but nothing else - the bus id is hozing that up?
[07:07] <cronik> i dosen"t work
[07:07] <mustard5> enrico, I really don't know....I've never followed a bug fix before..if its part of the main repository then it will be fixed pretty fast I imagine..if its community maintained package it could be a while
[07:08] <enrico> mustard5: ok, thanks
[07:08] <iiiears> penguin - ah. that is different. - no not likely. i don't know what that is.
[07:08] <robotgeek> cronik: System Tools -> System Monitor -> Select and kill from there
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> Penguin,  gdm worked? when you logged in?
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> gdm - the nice fancy login screen. :P
[07:09] <Distro^Junkie> installing kubuntu-desktop
[07:09] <penguin_> Dr_Willis: yep, it let me log in fine, its when it loads up gnome that it goes out to lunch...
[07:09] <mustard5> enrico, it says it mounts ok via terminal doesnt it?
[07:09] <enrico> mustard5: yes
[07:09] <mustard5> enrico, so you can mount?
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> Penguin,  the 'session' menu may have a failsafe or some other entry. that should pop up a terminal window.
[07:09] <enrico> mustard5: yes.  It just doesn't work from nautilus
[07:10] <mustard5> k
[07:10] <enrico> mustard5: which, considered that the user is my dad, is a big deal :)
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> Penguin,  sounds like a gnome issue. THis is a clean install? or a Update?
[07:10] <iiiears> Dr_Willis - Is there a log created as things start? - where would it be?
[07:10] <mustard5> enrico, so you have it listed in your fstab?
[07:10] <enrico> mustard5: sure
[07:10] <ghb> How do I configure XFree11?
[07:10] <penguin_> Dr_Willis: clean install - just finished it a few mins ago...
[07:10] <enrico> mustard5: it's supposed to be a HAL issue
[07:11] <ghb> XFree86, I mean...
[07:11] <cronik> i want to kill the wifi radr
[07:11] <mustard5> enrico, so when you browse to them in nautilus they are there when mounted in fstab at boot?
[07:11] <cronik> how can i do this
[07:11] <brynjarh> Is it possible to rip CD's in Ubuntu to mp3 files?
[07:11] <enrico> mustard5: shuold be, yes.  I haven't tried that
[07:12] <mustard5> enrico, what is the hard part for your Dad?
[07:12] <Dr_Willis> brynjarh,  yes. with the right programs. I tend to use 'grip' for the task.
[07:12] <enrico> mustard5: opening a terminal and doing mount
[07:12] <penguin_> Dr_Willis: I have no options for sessions, when I click on the button a blank window pops up - reinstall time?
[07:12] <enrico> mustard5: and, he's not in a hurry of using it, so we can wait for the fix
[07:12] <mustard5> enrico, k
[07:12] <Distro^Junkie> are they going to update the download link for limewire in the tutorial for ubuntu ?
[07:13] <robotgeek> penguin_: nope, install another window manager..like fluxbox
[07:13] <Dr_Willis> penguin_,  odd....
[07:13] <brynjarh> Dr_Willis, but isn't grip just a program and it needs lame to be able to rip to mp3? Which brings the question, how does one get lame to Ubuntu?
[07:13] <penguin_> robotgeek: how do you do that - I wasnt given any options on what to install, it did everything it self... ?
[07:13] <foxgamer> mon: I have done it!
[07:13] <Dr_Willis> brynjarh,  all the programs normally are front end to console tools. :P thats how  they work.
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> brynjarh,  set up the right repositories/sources and apt-get install them. Or use synaptic
[07:14] <erUSUL> !tell brynjarh about mp3
[07:14] <robotgeek> penguin_: press ctrl + alt + f1 (switch to a different console), and login. sudo apt-get install fluxbox from there
[07:14] <mustard5> enrico, just reading the bug it seems to be saying that its made the menu functions disfunctional.  I'm just wondering whether that is much of a hinderances since they are could be auto mounted at boot via fstab and there is no need to mount them via menu options
[07:14] <mock> Can somebody give me a hint, how to burn a cd when having cue/bin-files ?
[07:14] <enrico> mustard5: the problem is when you boot without a CD and put one in later
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> mock,  i think k3b can burn them
[07:15] <Distro^Junkie> yes k3b can
[07:15] <mustard5> enrico, ah yes!!
[07:15] <dooglus> I just deleted a 2Gb file, but my free disk space hasn't increased at all.  How can I find out which process still has the file open?
[07:15] <mustard5> enrico, didnt think about that
[07:15] <erUSUL> mock, man cdrecord
[07:15] <enrico> mustard5: :)
[07:15] <penguin_> robotgeek: something has really gotten hozed up here... does ubunto not like reiserfs as the root fs or something? that is the only difference between this install and the laptop (besides the network config)?
[07:15] <erUSUL> dooglus, still in trash??
[07:15] <enrico> mustard5: thanks for the help!  I'll get back to my stuff.
[07:15] <dooglus> erUSUL: I used "rm", so no.
[07:15] <mock> thx, trying k3b ...
[07:15] <mustard5> enrico, that would be painful for Dad..what about a little script he can click on that does it for him as a workaround?
[07:16] <dooglus> mock: did you know that mplayer can play .bin files directory without burning?
[07:16] <mustard5> enrico, k ;)
[07:16] <alexbligh> On breezy, AMD64, how to I persuade ./configure to build a 32bit app, not a 64bit app? (i.e. build with sizeof(long)=4).
[07:16] <penguin_> robotgeek: my keyboard wen tout to lunch again with clicking on the sessions button, and cant click on the reboot button =(
[07:16] <Distro^Junkie> yes I did
[07:16] <sorush20> why does my hotplug system hang when I try to restart the system?
[07:16] <foampeace> i use xmms as an alarm to wake me up and it crashes often...any suggestions?
[07:16] <mock> @dooglus: Realy?
[07:16] <Distro^Junkie> as xbmc uses mplayer
[07:16] <Distro^Junkie> :)
[07:16] <foampeace> anyone find the mplayer-plugin has choppy sound?
[07:16] <Distro^Junkie> my xbox plays bin files for movies
[07:16] <robotgeek> penguin_: i am unsure of the details of the reiserfs, but i am pretty sure that if you got till screen, that's not the issue
[07:17] <mustard5> sorush20, just started happening?  if not, what changed since it was working?
[07:17] <ghb> Can I restart X11 without rebooting...?
[07:17] <erUSUL> alexbligh, you'll need a complete 32b toolchain (gcc,binutils, libraries...) maybe is not worth the effort
[07:17] <iiiears> penguin_ - laptop or desktop?
[07:17] <dooglus> ghb: yes.  "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"
[07:17] <penguin_> robotgeek: well, im going to reistall with ext3 (the default), hopefully that is it because something is definatly hozed up here =(
[07:17] <ghb> dooglus: Thanks.
[07:18] <luigi> hallo
[07:18] <Dr_Willis> that will kill X off right then and there ghb
[07:18] <penguin_> iiiears: both, the laptop works fine - installed it last night and using it now, the desktop is what is having major issues =-/
[07:18] <pabloesc> luigi, hello :)
[07:18] <dooglus> Dr_Willis: I think that's what he wants...
[07:18] <ghb> Dr_Willis: ...?
[07:18] <alexbligh> erUSUL: mmm.... where would I get that from? (app I am trying to compile is not 64-bit clean)
[07:19] <Dr_Willis> dooglus,  ive seen people ask.. then they just vanish. :P  they seem to not realize it will Kill their current X session.
[07:19] <spike> hi there. I'd need some help with module-assistant and loop-aes modules rebuilding
[07:19] <fortran01> hi, can somebody help me. I can't understand this equation in calc: ($'Desktop PC'.H79-$'Thin Client'.H78)/$'Desktop PC'.H79
[07:19] <dooglus> ghb: Dr_Willis is warning you that restarting X involves stopping it...
[07:19] <spike> hey Dr_Willis :)
[07:19] <fortran01> newbie here
[07:19] <sorush20> mustard5:  sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't I think I have sused out what the problem is .. I have a printer hotpluged ... I also have other things attached.. I make sure that I have only the printer and the hotplug restart command goes as far as stopping but is unable to restart back up?
[07:19] <Dr_Willis> ghb,  also 'alt-ctrl-backspace' should do it as well
[07:19] <ghb> dooglus: I'm aware of that...
[07:19] <Dr_Willis> actually you are restarting GDM that is killing off X.
[07:19] <dooglus> Dr_Willis: I've noticed that alt-ctrl-backspace doesn't restart gdm, does it?
[07:20] <ghb> You know, I think I'll just reboot my whole computer... =)
[07:20] <ghb> Will be right back...
[07:20] <mustard5> sorush20, hmmm..annoying
[07:20] <Dr_Willis> dooglus,  Hmm.. i think theres a GDM setting to always 'restart X' - that was enabled by default.
[07:20] <dooglus> heh
[07:20] <spike> if I try to compile loop-aes with module-assistant it complains I havent a full kernel. I've apt-got linux-source for my kernel, unpacked it, but it still complains about a full kernel missing
[07:20] <spike> in the error message I see it's still looking at linux-headers-2.6.12-9-686
[07:20] <mustard5> sorush20, not really sure what to do though
[07:21] <mock> @dooglus: ctrl+alt+backspace didn't restart gdm this afternoon here ... I ended up on a black screen and had to use a console ...
[07:21] <erUSUL> alexbligh, i do not know if ubuntu has this for installing in amd64. iirc debian amd64 is clean from 32 bits so you are a bit on you're on
[07:21] <erUSUL> own*
[07:21] <foampeace> will linux ever get cleaned up or is it just going to stay messy
[07:22] <sorush20> guys is there a command that I can type that check whether my kernel really likes my hardware?
[07:22] <spike> foampeace: eh?
[07:22] <alexbligh> erSUL: mmm... thanks (I think)
[07:22] <foampeace> spike: im just talking about standards...theres standards all over the map
[07:22] <Bonzodog> tis better
[07:22] <sorush20> I don't really know what to call this but I was chatting to someone and he told me this command to type in.., I did told him about the reply and he said that my kernel doesn't like me hardware and that I had to complie kernel form source?
[07:23] <Bonzodog> kornbluth is having prblems...
[07:23] <mock> @sorush20: hm, not that globally ... what hardware seems not to work probably?
[07:23] <eagleye> Can someone help me with flash, I cant get any flash animation to show up...
[07:23] <mustard5> sorush20, I wonder whether something would show up in your /var/logs that might help troubleshoot
[07:23] <Bonzodog> have reconnected to swedish server, adams.freenode.net
[07:23] <mock> @eagleye: What does about:plugins tell you?
[07:24] <Belutz> how do i make enlightenment as default?
[07:24] <mustard5> sorush20, I can only think of simple commands like lsusb for listing usb devices :)
[07:24] <eagleye> Can someone help me with flash, I cant get any flash animation to show up...I've installed flash, but doesn't work
[07:24] <foampeace> i read on some site that freebsd is designed instead of grown like linux...who would say this is actually true
[07:24] <eagleye> mock, it dont show
[07:24] <theturtle> anyone know a dvd burning app similar to k3b for gnome?
[07:24] <sorush20> true. mustard5 thanks..
[07:24] <theturtle> i don't really feel like installing all those kde libs
[07:25] <Bonzodog> theturtle: gnomebaker
[07:25] <Bonzodog> ?
[07:25] <theturtle> cool
[07:25] <dsissoko> bonjour  toud
[07:25] <theturtle> thanks Bonzodog
[07:25] <mock> @eagleeye: Are you using firefox?
[07:25] <eagleye> yes
[07:26] <dsissoko> je cherche de l'aide pour mieux grer mes espaces disques
[07:26] <kemik> !fr
[07:26] <ubotu> Va a #ubuntu-fr pour aide et discussion en francais
[07:26] <mock> @eagleye: What shows firefox if you enter about:plugins ? nothing?
[07:26] <Nihil85> hallo
[07:26] <iiiears> eagleeye - Is sun's java and mozilla 's open source activex installed?
[07:26] <dsissoko> ok, merci, et en chat, il y a un IRC en franais ?
[07:26] <ghb_> How does one kill a daemon?
[07:27] <Goshawk> i've a problem with rhythmbox on ubuntu amd64
[07:27] <Nihil85> i have a very big big problem. The keywords are: X kernel 1.0.7676; nvidia kernel 1.0.7667 % 1.0.7676; nvidia drivers
[07:27] <Goshawk> it does not load .pls files
[07:27] <iiiears> Hi Nihil85. :0
[07:27] <kemik> dsissoko^^ : ubuntu-fr for french.. we speak english in here
[07:27] <Nihil85> hi iiiears
[07:27] <Bonzodog> dsissoko: oui, #ubuntu-fr pour en francais
[07:27] <Nihil85> until now i only met people who made a lot of disasters in my configuration
[07:28] <Nihil85> i'm in a sea of shit
[07:28] <Goshawk> on hoary it worked, but in breezy not
[07:28] <kemik> Nihil85: cant load X or what ?
[07:28] <kemik> nvm.. i aint got time for this
[07:28] <Nihil85> exact
[07:28] <erUSUL> Nihil85, the problem beeing??
[07:29] <iiiears> Nihil85 - that doesn't sound good. afraid i am very new and really can answer only frequently asked questions.
[07:29] <mustard5> eagleye, you installed flash plugin via synaptic?
[07:29] <Nihil85> help me only if you don't make other problems... because until now a lot of people "help" me making much more confusion
[07:29] <damotor> hi
[07:30] <erUSUL> Nihil85, explain the problem as my cristal ball is out of order today ;)
[07:30] <Nihil85> i have an nvidia geforce fx5200. i downloaded the drivers form www.nvidia.com, driver for 1.0.7676 kernel
[07:30] <Bonzodog> Nihil85: are you familiar with editing the xorg.conf file?
[07:30] <erUSUL> !tell Nihil85 about nvidia
[07:30] <Nihil85> i installed the drivers, but X won't start
[07:30] <damotor> is there any program in ubuntu to convert an avi_non_compressed video to ogm or xvid?
[07:30] <Nihil85> because he says that the kernel of nvidia is 1.0.7667
[07:30] <Nihil85> even if it's not true
[07:30] <erUSUL> Nihil85, you'd better use the drivers in the repos
[07:31] <erUSUL> Nihil85, read what ubotu told you
[07:31] <Bonzodog> I had to install the drivers from nvidias own site, in console mode
[07:31] <Bonzodog> they only ever seem to work when manually compiled
[07:31] <bluefrog-10> Nihil85, FX5200 works fine with ubuntu nvidia-glx in ubuntu repo
[07:32] <Nihil85> bluefrog-10, those nvidia-glx driver made my Ubuntu crash every minute
[07:32] <kemik> Nihil85: always use synaptic/apt-get when installing stuff
[07:32] <Nihil85> those from repository
[07:32] <kemik> Nihil85: and use the wiki
[07:32] <Bonzodog> you ought to try getting a 6200 to work...only 7676 and up work
[07:32] <kemik> Nihil85: followed the wiki-instructions ?
[07:32] <Nihil85> poeple made a big mistake at my pc
[07:33] <iiiears> Nihil85 - np likely the card descriptoin  lspci to see it.   bus id framebuffer or you can enable all options for drivers in the last screen. nVidia Geforce series is a very nice card in  ubuntu. - it will work.
[07:33] <Neophite> Is anyone familier with using samba and rsync under Breezy?
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> damotor,  hmm.. last time i saw a non_compressed avi was a fraps 'video capture' of a Game. :P
[07:33] <Bonzodog> the only way to install the nvidia drivers is in console mode
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> damotor,  if you had the right codecs installed I think transcode can handle them. or vlc/mplayer/ect.
[07:33] <Bonzodog> you cannot have X running
[07:34] <sverre> I have a problem! How can I install Opera on my Ubuntu 5.10-system? (I am a newbie)
[07:34] <Bonzodog> download the driver file for linux 7676 from the nvidia site as a run file
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> sverre,  i installed the opera package from their page. and then used 'sudo dpkg -i  whateveritwas'
[07:34] <MarcN> Neophite: what is the question?
[07:34] <kandoora_> guys, i've installed two applications and they don't show in applications, even after killall gnome-panel, log out and log in and reboot, i know i can launch it from terminal but why hasn't it shown in application
[07:34] <damotor> Dr_Willis the problem is not to see them, the question is that I made some desgins with a design program called fyre, and a 20 seconds 800x600 video it's about 1 giga (sigh)
[07:35] <iiiears> sverre. - is opera in synaptic?
[07:35] <Dr_Willis> sverre,  HOWEVER i think i needed to get their 'statically' compiled version.
[07:35] <Dr_Willis> damotor,  1 gb?  for 20 sec! Dang.
[07:35] <ghb> How do I reconfigure syndaemon? I got it working, but want to reconfigure it. =(
[07:35] <Bonzodog> go to the location of the downloaded file and type ./nvidia etc.....
[07:36] <sverre> So it is not just double-clicking? :(
[07:36] <Bonzodog> that should be the full filename...use tab for autocompletion
[07:36] <bluefrog-10> kandoora_, there is a good chance those apps u installed came from universe or multiverse, u will have to add them by hand in the menus
[07:36] <sverre> It says: Can not open opera_8.50-20050916.5-shared-qt_en_sarge_i386.deb
[07:36] <Bonzodog> it will say it cannot find a kernel interface
[07:36] <iiiears> ghb - it would likely be named  for alsa
[07:36] <Bonzodog> and needs to build one...say OK
[07:36] <Neophite> MarcN,  I want to mirror a partition on my wife's computer with a directory on mine. (Her's is a windows mech. while mine is Linux only).
[07:36] <kandoora_> bluefrog-10, thanks
[07:37] <ghb> iiiears: Alsa?
[07:37] <iiiears> sverre - it doesn't have to be very difficult. what is the file extension?
[07:37] <iiiears> ghb - also -settings?   - i am very new
[07:37] <iiiears> alsa
[07:37] <iiiears> !sound
[07:37] <ubotu> [sound]  http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/DebuggingSoundProblems/, or http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundProblemsHoary
[07:37] <sverre> iiiears, *.deb
[07:37] <ghb> iiiears: Still don't get it...
[07:37] <darknuala> i downloaded the dvd images of the repositories, but don't know how to install them.  Can anybody help me?
[07:38] <Neophite> MarcN, My problem is, I don't know what argument would point rsync to my wife's partition.
[07:38] <MarcN> Neophite: not a problem.   Mount her disk on your linux system and rsync -azv /HerDisk /HerLocalBackup
[07:38] <Neophite> <--- Will read about mounting. Thanks mate
[07:38] <iiiears> sverre - easy to do. bring up a terminal then "sudo dpkg -i <your_packaGE>
[07:38] <Bonzodog> thus this is a linux only box
[07:38] <sharpobject> noob needs major help getting VLC working OR getting MPlayer in chrooted environment
[07:39] <kandoora_> does any one use fluxbox
[07:39] <Neophite> Doesn't Breezy ship with fluxbox?
[07:39] <thrush> kandoora_: several people here use flux ::raises hand::
[07:40] <kandoora_> no, you got to download it through synaptix
[07:40] <damotor> Dr_Willis I remember one day I installed a graphical app to rip from dvd to ogg, bt I unistalled it and now I don't remember it's name
[07:40] <MarcN> Neophite: you can add something like this to your /etc/fstab:
[07:40] <MarcN> //wifepc/herdisk  /data/herlocaldisk smbfs suid,uid=?,gid=?,ro,user,exec,noauto,username='Administrator',password='herpasswd' 0 0
[07:40] <MarcN> and "mount -a" it.
[07:40] <etsme> !download manager
[07:40] <ubotu> No idea, etsme
[07:40] <kandoora_> so once i run fluxbox how do i go back to gnome
[07:40] <etsme> !downloadmanager
[07:40] <ubotu> etsme: I don't know
[07:40] <davro> fluxbox, mmm tabbed applications =>
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> damotor,  "dvd:rip" perhaps?
[07:40] <MarcN> Neophite: where ? and ? are some reasonable uid and gid
[07:40] <thrush> kandoora_: at login screen click sessions button change to gnome
[07:40] <etsme> hey guys anyone of u know which download manager is best and free ?
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> etsme,  depends on your needs.
[07:41] <darknuala> etsme, downloader x
[07:41] <kandoora_> thrush, thanks a mil
[07:41] <MarcN> etsme: aria
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> etsme,  i rarely use any of them these days. 'wget, and prozilla' (proz) are handy .
[07:41] <Neophite> MarcN, Wow, you lost me ^_^
[07:41] <etsme> cool, which one of these resembles alot to FLASHGET for windows
[07:42] <sverre> iiiears, sudo dpkg -i <your_packaGE> ---> What is the packageGE?
[07:42] <electron> hi
[07:42] <damotor> Dr_Willis nope, but thx for your help
[07:42] <darknuala> i downloaded the dvd images of the repositories, but don't know how to install them.
[07:42] <sverre> and should that be in root?
[07:42] <iiiears> sverre -                opera-version#.deb
[07:43] <electron> how can I set my system to start a ppp connection with pon as one of the first processes on system boot?
[07:43] <odat> hi everyone
[07:43] <odat> anyone know of a good gui based ftp program?
[07:43] <iiiears> Hello odat
[07:43] <darknuala> gftp
[07:43] <odat> cool
[07:44] <odat> thanx
[07:44] <Chizn> how do i install an RPM?
[07:44] <sockpuppe1> is there someone here who can help me analyze my rootkithunter output
[07:44] <mustard5> Chizn, alien package
[07:45] <thrush> Chizn: alien
[07:45] <odat> Chizn, you should use alien to convert the RPM
[07:45] <mock> @odat: gftp
[07:45] <mustard5> Chizn, what are you installing?
[07:45] <Chizn> is that installed by default
[07:45] <Chizn> erm, VMware
[07:45] <sverre> iiiears, I may be a bit slow here, but: The operaversion? Like 8.50.deb? Or the full filename?
[07:45] <iiiears> chizan - first look for a *.deb then if you can't find one  "alien" might be able to install it. alien -i
[07:45] <sharpobject> help installing VLC?
[07:45] <sockpuppe1> anyone here capable of helping me?
[07:46] <[Raoul_le_Vert] > !fr
[07:46] <ubotu> Va a #ubuntu-fr pour aide et discussion en francais
[07:46] <Chizn> iiiears, doesnt seem to be installed
[07:46] <odat> mock, does it show up in the menu items or do i have to log out and log back in first
[07:46] <iiiears> sverre sudo dpkg -i opera-8.50.deb
[07:46] <mustard5> Chizn, find out how other installed vmware successfully first if I were you
[07:46] <hav0k> hmmm, i guess everyone here is for help huh?
[07:46] <Chizn> why, does it cause lots of problems?
[07:46] <sockpuppe1> well at the moment yeah
[07:46] <sockpuppe1> hav0c
[07:46] <hav0k> ha, okay
[07:46] <mustard5> Chizn, it will save you time if you are heading in the wrong direction
[07:46] <iiiears> Chizn - you can find it in synaptic
[07:46] <Chizn> i got to the point where it was fully installed but needs configuring
[07:47] <Neophite> MarcN, Thanks for your time.
[07:47] <Chizn> and when i go to configure it, it trys to stop the vmware service but says i dont have permission
[07:47] <luckyaba> is there are way to disable my screensaver via the commandline?
[07:47] <Chizn> so im trying a rpm, which hopefully should be able to do all that by itself?
[07:47] <mock> @odat: It shows up in "Internet" ... I think it does so automagically
[07:47] <ghb> There's a new version of syndaemon, but I don't know how to install it. Is it possible to do that through synaptic package manager, or do I have to do it all manually?
[07:47] <mustard5> Chizn, I watched a guy installing vmware today in here..and it was a long a difficult process :)
[07:47] <darknuala> hey is there a live-cd howto customize like the knoppix live-cd?
[07:47] <iiiears> Chizn - ah okay, over the first part of it. - I never installed opera. :/
[07:47] <Chizn> was he successful?
[07:47] <mustard5> Chizn, yep
[07:48] <sockpuppe1> mustard5 can you help me with my log analyzation
[07:48] <mustard5> Chizn, after many hours
[07:48] <Chizn> hum..

[07:49] <Chizn> vmware player?
[07:49] <bimberi> penguin_ even (sry Penguin)
[07:49] <mustard5> sockpuppe1, roger
[07:49] <penguin_> besides ifconfig - ubunto's way so it sticks when rebooted
[07:49] <iiiears> Chizn - just released - it "plays" system image files.
[07:49] <bimberi> penguin_: edit the file /etc/network/interfaces
[07:49] <hav0k> hmm, im having trouble installing ubuntu on to my computer, does anyone know anything about that?
[07:49] <mustard5> Chizn, pick everyones brains to get started right... ;)
[07:50] <thrush> hav0k: exactly what error?

[07:51] <Ropechoborra> Hi >(
[07:51] <erUSUL> gimmulf, yes
[07:51] <Ropechoborra> :(
[07:51] <iiiears> havok - check out the F-key options as part of initial install.  -just curious is you machine a laptop?
[07:51] <hav0k> yep, laptop
[07:51] <TotalNewb> Yay! I'm working, everything is great. I just need one more thing does anyone use TinyFugue here?
[07:52] <mustard5> sockpuppe1, a root kit revealer hey.... :)   hehehe you got any reason to think you've been hacked? :D
[07:52] <Nihil85> uhmmm
[07:52] <mustard5> sockpuppe1, it all looks good :)
[07:52] <sockpuppe1> you sure about that?
[07:52] <hav0k> and i did try the foption once, but i wasnt exactly sure what i was doing so i think i just ended up going on with the regular
[07:52] <iiiears> hav0k - the framebuffer optoins are likely what need to be changed.
[07:52] <mustard5> sockpuppe1, what part are you worried about?
[07:52] <hav0k> hmmm, whats that?  framebuffer?

[07:53] <sockpuppe1> erusul it was by accident
[07:53] <sverre> iiiears, Still not working with installing Opera. Wrote "sudo dpkg -i opera_8.50.deb" both in the my terminal and in the roots terminal. opera_8.50.deb is the file name.
[07:53] <hav0k> i can run the live cd, but its just installing it doesnt work
[07:54] <bluefrog-10> sockpuppe1, that's ok not to worry for those
[07:54] <mustard5> sockpuppe1, its all good ...your system is fine
[07:55] <erUSUL> !pastebin
[07:55] <ubotu> from memory, pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[07:55] <snikker> hi, how can i start a program by script (to put into /etc/init.d) ? Where i can find some docs?
[07:55] <penguin_> im getting a bunch of ICE errors from gdm when logging in - unable to find tcp transports and not being able to make /dev/X... Is this normal?
[07:55] <hav0k> well, i guess ill try messing with that, thanks iiiears.
[07:55] <ghb> If I want to install a newer version of a program, but not through apt-get or synaptic package manager, how do I do it?
[07:56] <sverre> Its not the end of the world. I have Firefox for the time being, maybe I'll get used to it.
[07:56] <TotalNewb> Firefox Rocks.
[07:56] <sverre> hehe
[07:57] <TotalNewb> I need to figure out how to install Tinyfugue which they say rocks but I am not sure how to even start with this system.
[07:57] <TotalNewb> I'm sadly lost without .exe
[07:57] <ghb> How do I stop a daemon?
[07:58] <TotalNewb> Holy water.
[07:58] <penguin_> can anyone tell me if the .xsession-errors file in the users home directory is suppose to contain about a dozen _Ice* errors?
[07:58] <snikker> ghb: demon_name stop
[07:58] <MarcN> ghb: usually "/etc/init.d/somedaemon stop"  where daemon is somethign like apache, gdm etc
[07:59] <TotalNewb> What is a deamon? Is that like an application that runs in the background?
[07:59] <iiiears> TotalNewb - Being new isn't easy even if you are new to windows or Mac.
[07:59] <panzar_> sorry for this newbie question, but i can't find where to select which deamons that should be started by boot?
[07:59] <iiiears> i started in june.
[07:59] <[TvM] > hi
[07:59] <panzar_> for example sshd and samba deamon.
[07:59] <panzar_> where can i find those options?
[07:59] <panzar_> please
[07:59] <bimberi> TotalNewb: yes that's right (re a daemon)
[07:59] <[TvM] > where i can find the xsupplicant package??
[07:59] <ghb> MarcN: There's no such file.
[07:59] <ghb> snikker: I think it disabled it, but then it enabled it again... =(
[07:59] <Spudchat> hi everyone
[08:00] <erUSUL> panzar_, System->admin.->serv.
[08:00] <occy> You'd think you would easily be able to play ogg video.  And that the ability to play ogg video would be built into the Ubuntu Gnome desktop.
[08:00] <Spudchat> i recently purchased a psp and was wondering how i would connect it to the computer, would it just take a normal fstab entry?
[08:00] <Madpilot> TotalNewb: have you used Synaptic yet?
[08:00] <occy> without needing to dl anything.
[08:00] <occy> are the ogg codecs Open Source?
[08:00] <GNeRaL> !java
[08:00] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadeb
[08:00] <TotalNewb> Oh, wait, I think I need to compile something. Anyone know if there is an application for that in the standard HH pkg?
[08:01] <GNeRaL> !javadeb
[08:01] <ubotu> well, javadeb is for sun java debs packaged for ubuntu, Install from http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/bpxbf (Breezy)
[08:01] <occy> or is there simply no video codecs that are open source and distributable?
[08:01] <panzar_> erUSUL: services? i can only choose very few services there.
[08:01] <TotalNewb> Synaptic? The update downloader thing?
[08:01] <panzar_> erUSUL: samba doesn't appear there for instance.
[08:01] <xophEr> anyone here who has got quake4 to work with ubuntu 64bit?
[08:01] <Madpilot> TotalNewb: search Synaptic for 'fugue' - there seems to be a tinyFugue client in Ubuntu's repos already
[08:01] <snikker> ghb: are you shure that you don't have the demon name under "/etc/init.d/" ?
[08:01] <erUSUL> panzar_, install boot-up manager
[08:01] <Madpilot> !info tf breezy
[08:01] <ubotu> tf: (Tinyfugue MUD client for TinyMUDs, DikuMUDs, and LPMUDs), section universe/games, is optional. Version: 1:4.0s1-14 (breezy), Packaged size: 254 kB, Installed size: 860 kB
[08:02] <alex-wiss> hello, I installed breezy for a friend but no application can start from the System menu administration
[08:02] <occy> !ogg
[08:02] <ubotu> occy: Are you on ritalin?
[08:02] <[TvM] > how can i install xsupplicant with apt-get???
[08:02] <TotalNewb> I tried that on a previous install and it started downloading a lot of stuff then I left it alone and it went into standby mode and it messed up then when I tried to restart it the thing was all flakey. So I reinstalled.
[08:02] <ghb> snikker: Let me check again.
[08:02] <GNeRaL> !w32
[08:02] <ubotu> GNeRaL: Did you get hit by a windmill?
[08:02] <GNeRaL> !w32codec
[08:02] <ubotu> methinks w32codecs is a set of audio/video codecs for DVD-Video. To download the debs: http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/bpxbf (Breezy).  For 64-bit read: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=54399
[08:02] <ghb> snikker: Yes
[08:02] <Madpilot> TotalNewb: sorry, was that for me? please use nicks to highlight here, it's busy!
[08:03] <ghb> snikker: I want to disable syndaemon, but I don' t know how to do it. =(
[08:03] <Spudchat> omg nevermind when i connected it it just worked :D
[08:03] <rrtidd> anyone run into remote sound not working with rdesktop?
[08:03] <ghb> snikker: Well actually, I want to install the newer version of it, but I know less of that than how to disable it... =(
[08:03] <TotalNewb> Madpilot: Yes, I'll give that a whirl. thanks for the help. Man it is getting busy :)
[08:04] <[TvM] > how can i install xsupplicant with apt-get????
[08:04] <erUSUL> panzar_, the right aproach is to use  update-rc.d
[08:04] <TotalNewb> BRB.
[08:04] <Madpilot> TotalNewb: it's been busy since Breezy came out a few weeks ago, and over 600 ppl here for a day or three
[08:04] <snikker> ghd: had you tried to do it with synaptic?
[08:04] <occy> GNeRaL, do those w32codecs have stuff for ogg?
[08:04] <sverre> I want to edit the "sources.list". How do I get the rights to do that? I am the sysadmin...
[08:04] <etsme> !aria
[08:04] <ubotu> etsme: Do they come in packets of five?
[08:04] <GNeRaL> occy: whats mean off "ogg" ? :|
[08:04] <erUSUL> accy, no ogg is a free format
[08:05] <etsme> !ping
[08:05] <ubotu> Keep your fingers to yourself, etsme.
[08:05] <occy> erUSUL, heh, any ida how to play ogg video on Ubuntu?
[08:05] <ghb> snikker: I've tried, but I haven't made it work... Syndaemon is embedded in the X.org package, I think, but I don't know if there's a newer version of it.
[08:05] <mattpj1> i got a problem with my ubuntu my internet connection acts really slow and when i reboot ther comp it usually gets a little better but it was never this slow before
[08:05] <bimberi> sverre: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list    (use sudo to get superuser privs)
[08:05] <flocrypt> hello ubuntu folk :-)
[08:06] <mattpj1> and i know it has to be a setting or something cuz all the other distros i had werent this slow
[08:06] <BeGu> hello flocrypt
[08:06] <VooDoo> TRICK OR TREAT!
[08:06] <TotalNewb> Madpilot: Nope. I don't have the pkg in my sympatic list.
[08:06] <mattpj1> i got a problem with my ubuntu my internet connection acts really slow and when i reboot ther comp it usually gets a little better but it was never this slow before
[08:06] <etsme> Does ARIA work for Breezy Badger ?
[08:06] <_native_> my floppy will only mount manually. help output= given udi is not a mountable volume
[08:07] <flocrypt> Hi, i could use some help with pci outodetection or whatsitcalled...
[08:07] <BeGu> mattpj1, maybe it is your operator's fault?
[08:08] <foampeace> whats the best organizer/schedule reminder/task calendar app?
[08:08] <sverre> bimberi, It says in root in terminal: Warning: Cannot open display. When I tried in my account nothing happened at all.
[08:08] <mattpj1> BeGu i thought it was the isp at first till i asked someone about it and they said theirs been fine so it has to be my distro some setting and plus that dont explain when i reboot its fine im on DSL
[08:08] <flocrypt> anyone know what pci=routeirq is?
[08:09] <El_Che> mattpj1: dns problem? check if /etc/resolv.conf is correct
[08:09] <snikker> ghd: try to look here: "http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/x11/xfree86-driver-synaptics"
[08:09] <El_Che> mattpj1: do nslookup www.bbc.co.uk
[08:09] <erUSUL> occy, depends on the codec used for the vido ogg for video is like avi can contain any codec
[08:09] <El_Che> mattpj1: se if that's fast or slow
[08:09] <Madpilot> TotalNewb: you need to enable Universe & Multiverse repositories, then
[08:09] <VooDoo> anyone know how to get the debian menu in breezy even with menu installed?
[08:09] <Madpilot> !tell TotalNewb about repos
[08:09] <bimberi> sverre: you tried "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" in a normal terminal? (it won't work in root terminal)
[08:09] <adibahai> hello
[08:09] <mattpj1> everything looks fine El_Che
[08:09] <_native_> my floppy will only mount manually. help! output = "given udi is not a mountable volume."
[08:09] <adibahai> I've just installed ubuntu
[08:10] <adibahai> a piece of art
[08:10] <adibahai> bravo
[08:10] <El_Che> mattpj1: mm
[08:10] <adibahai> however
[08:10] <adibahai> I do not know how to change resolution
[08:10] <penguin_> alright, this is getting frustrating... can any ubunto guru's help me out here? Im a newbie to Ubunto, but not to linux - I've reinstalled 3 times now, I can login in but only to a cursor and brown screen... No keyboard or gnome session - it is just sitting here =(    Pretty plz =)
[08:10] <adibahai> it is strange I know maybe
[08:10] <mattpj1> adibahai it dont have java either u need to do it manually
[08:11] <mattpj1> plus i dont think there is a setting to change it from military time
[08:11] <mattpj1> and dont play mp3s
[08:11] <dooglus> is there a command to make a 'sparse' file?  I want to make a big file quickly - I don't need it to be allocated though
[08:11] <bimberi> penguin_: does <ctrl><alt><F1> get you to a console?
[08:12] <flocrypt> crimsun: r u there?
[08:12] <TotalNewb> Crap. I accedentally closed my window.
[08:12] <ghb> I have this daemon--syndaemon--that's on after reboot. But I want to disable it, or reconfigure it at least. How do I do that?
[08:12] <penguin_> bimberi: it does before I try to login, after that I loose the keyboard
[08:12] <adibahai> I see
[08:12] <adibahai> but I have the X
[08:12] <MarcN> panzar_: did you get your daemon answer?
[08:12] <Madpilot> mattpj1: mp3 support is trivial to get; Java is not much harder; 24hr time can be changed too...
[08:12] <mattpj1> well i dont know what to do about my internet being slow on this distro ill just ask around later
[08:12] <adibahai> and it works fine
[08:12] <foampeace> whats ubuntu-calendar
[08:12] <bimberi> ubout tell adibahai about resolution
[08:12] <mattpj1> Madpilot i know about mp3 and java but how do i change 24 hour time ?
[08:13] <mattpj1> i looked for settings i cant find ne
[08:13] <adibahai> well it has gdi
[08:13] <panzar_> MarcN: ye from erUSUL, thanks
[08:13] <k1m> ubuntu-5.10-install-amd64   how should i bunr it with nero ?
[08:13] <panzar_> noticed it now
[08:13] <adibahai> and it tells me to choose 640*480
[08:13] <k1m> burn*
[08:13] <adibahai> but nothing else
[08:13] <adibahai> though I choose at setup also 800 and 1024
[08:14] <mattpj1> klm u can get free distro cds of ubuntu
[08:14] <bimberi> penguin_: ok, try going to a console, log in and "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[08:14] <thrush> k1m: in nero i believe along top of screen click burn then cd image
[08:14] <k1m> just burn as image ?
[08:14] <thrush> k1m: yes
[08:14] <penguin_> bimberi: already tried that - X is working fine, it's *after* Ilogin in trhough gdm that it goes out to lunch
[08:14] <whyameye> I have a 300GB drive and I am wondering if ubuntu Breezy will recognize the entire 300Gigs.
[08:15] <flocrypt> ubuntu guru or gura wanted...
[08:15] <k1m> thrush and then boot in bios ?
[08:15] <flocrypt> i need help
[08:15] <roche> People, Do you Know If the Ubuntu livecd for PPC comes with free software for MacOS?
[08:15] <thrush> k1m: in bios cd should boot before Hard drive
[08:15] <mattpj1> yes it does for mac
[08:15] <Niomi> i just installed a program that said it was "recommended that you start the notification server (gdnc) either at
[08:15] <Niomi> login or (better) when your computer is started up."
[08:15] <thrush> k1m: that should be it
[08:15] <adibahai> for mac?
[08:15] <adibahai> cool
[08:15] <k1m> i will try :D
[08:15] <bimberi> penguin_: right, starting to get beyond me then.  What's your video card?
[08:15] <adibahai> my wife's boss has a mac
[08:15] <flocrypt> 5.10 seems to be buggy with my pci cards...
[08:15] <Niomi> why is this and, if appropriate, how can i comply?
[08:16] <adibahai> video card is PCI
[08:16] <whyameye> roche: there will be software for ubuntu that runs on your mac, but I don't think there will be software for OS X.
[08:16] <panzar_> erUSUL: would you like to give me an example of how to add something to the startup runlevel with update-rc.d ?
[08:16] <k1m> is ubuntu o good choiche for linux ?
[08:16] <panzar_> erUSUL: can't understand the man page
[08:16] <MarcN> k1m: yes.
[08:16] <adibahai> is also good for server?
[08:16] <thrush> k1m: imho best distro if you are new of use a laptop..
[08:16] <flocrypt> what can i do, where can i post who can i ask? should i use an other distro?
[08:16] <adibahai> if I wanna do a samba server?
[08:16] <bimberi> k1m: of course - but we're biased :)
[08:16] <thrush> k1m: or use a laptop
[08:16] <Niomi> k1m: i think the #ubuntu channel would be a bit biased.
[08:16] <adibahai> I am versed in Mandrake
[08:16] <adibahai> but ubuntu is new
[08:16] <bimberi> !server
[08:16] <ubotu> Ubuntu 5.10 Server is out! http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2005-October/000042.html
[08:16] <erUSUL> panzar_, update-rc.d postfix defaults
[08:17] <Juhaz> _native_, known bug
[08:17] <k1m> does steam works good in ubuntu ?
[08:17] <penguin_> bimberi: nvidia - its not thr driver cuz X is working just fine, its the session that is not working, and I dont have any options for any other sessions either, blank dialog window that takes the keyboard too... This is a brand new and fresh install btw, no reconfiguration on my part except for adding the "search" line in /etc/resolv.conf
[08:17] <Amaranth> k1m: steam doesn't work at all without cedega
[08:18] <adibahai> anyway
[08:18] <adibahai> what about ups daemon
[08:18] <k1m> Amaranth i mean does it works good wirh cegega
[08:18] <adibahai> is working well under ubuntu?
[08:18] <panzar_> erUSUL: thanks a lot
[08:18] <Amaranth> k1m: You'd have to ask #cedega
[08:18] <Amaranth> k1m: I don't play any steam games
[08:18] <erUSUL> panzar_, not at all
[08:18] <adibahai> so many people here
[08:18] <adibahai> hard to follow up
[08:18] <adibahai> everyone is so fast
[08:19] <adibahai> we live in the world of light
[08:19] <adibahai> fast as light
[08:19] <adibahai> maybe 2 fast
[08:19] <adibahai> anywa
[08:19] <iiiears> klm - the folks at transgamming try work very hard tom make it work. HL2/CS players are there bread and butter. - that said Steam client is updated/rewritten frequently.
[08:19] <whyameye> can Breezy handle a drive larger than 137Gigabytes?
[08:19] <k1m> :P
[08:20] <Bonzodog> whyameye: mines 160GB
[08:20] <nosilver4u> whyameye: yes
[08:20] <bimberi> penguin_: i just thought that the nvidia driver might be worth a try (/msg ubotu nvidia), but if you don't think so i can't think of anything else sorry
[08:20] <erUSUL> whyameye, it should but i can say for sure i do not have one myself
[08:20] <Bonzodog> but it will create partitions out of that
[08:20] <nosilver4u> whyameye: that's a windows xp restriction
[08:20] <farruinn> penguin_: still having X problems?
[08:20] <ghb> Is there any way to upgrade the syndaemon that's currently installed with a newer one?
[08:21] <robotgeek> ghb: yup, compile your own
[08:21] <whyameye> Bonzodog: and you can see the entire 160 gig I assume?
[08:21] <Bonzodog> yup
[08:21] <whyameye> so now I need to check on the BIOS probably...
[08:22] <Bonzodog> I dual boot two linuxes
[08:22] <ghb> robotgeek: I tried, but I don't think it works.
[08:22] <penguin_> farruinn:X is working fine, its the sessions that are not working, I've tried everything I can think of... Reinstalled again, etc... nothing - only a cursor and brown screen... /cry
[08:22] <Bonzodog> and I can chroot to the other one
[08:22] <Chizn> how would i connect to another NFS share on the network?
[08:22] <robotgeek> penguin_: tried using another window manager?
[08:22] <Ropechoborra> Is there a Conference Room for linux ???
[08:22] <whyameye> Bonzodog: thanks.
[08:22] <Bonzodog> I have no windows on here as it doesn't work properly
[08:22] <erUSUL> !fixres
[08:22] <ubotu> it has been said that fixres is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[08:22] <LeaChim> is there a particular reason tor is banned?
[08:22] <ghb> robotgeek: I get lots and lots of errors and warnings... =(
[08:22] <Bonzodog> linux works better for me than windows
[08:23] <Chizn> ubotu, tell Chizn about networking
[08:23] <robotgeek> LeaChim: too many trolls, etc etc
[08:23] <penguin_> robotgeek: cant select another window manager, when I hit the sessions button - a blank dialog comes up and Iloose the keyboard, need to do a cold reboot at that point =(
[08:23] <Chizn> ubotu, tell Chizn about nfs
[08:23] <LeaChim> anyway, what i came here for
[08:23] <robotgeek> penguin_: how about removing gdm, and trying it the good old way? :)
[08:23] <farruinn> Chizn: go ahead and /msg ubotu: '/msg ubotu nfs'
[08:23] <LeaChim> if i have a .run file - is there any way i can easily turn that into a .deb package?
[08:24] <Chizn> ahhh ok cool thanks
[08:24] <Bonzodog> Ropechoborra: conference room for linux?
[08:24] <robotgeek> penguin_: i could work with you on that if you are interested :)
[08:24] <Bonzodog> each linux distro gets it's own channe;
[08:24] <Bonzodog> channel
[08:24] <robotgeek> penguin_: brb
[08:25] <Bonzodog> but there is a generalised linux channel as well
[08:25] <penguin_> robotgeek: I can try it that way, but 1)what is the gnome window manager app to put in .xinitrc and 2) what in **** could be wrong that would be hozing up gdm so bad?
[08:25] <Bonzodog> Did people in here know that there is over 140 distributions of linux now available?
[08:25] <TotalNewb> Is there a directory you can pub stuff in to make synaptic recognize the pkg as something you can install? I downloaded TinyFugue and unpacked it but I don't know what to do with it now. the instructions say I need to compile it.
[08:26] <erUSUL> TotalNewb, only if its a deb package
[08:26] <farruinn> TotalNewb: hold up, it's in the repos
[08:26] <Bonzodog> TotalNewb: it's a source package...you need to build it
[08:26] <Ropechoborra> Bonzodog really dont know... (new in linux) so im asking about an IRC server for linux
[08:26] <farruinn> TotalNewb: do you have universe enabled?
[08:26] <TotalNewb> I'm not even sure what that is.
[08:27] <Ropechoborra> Bonzodog .. I dont know why do i ask that xD Conference Room inst OpenSource xD
[08:27] <farruinn> !components
[08:27] <ubotu> I guess components is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/components/document_view
[08:27] <erUSUL> !tell TotalNewb about repos
[08:27] <LeaChim> if i have a .run file - is there any way i can easily turn that into a .deb package?
[08:27] <farruinn> erUSUL: thanks :)
[08:28] <gimmulf> Hi, i cant understand why this picture aint getting displayed in firefox, seems to be something with user right... (my user is "gimmulf")  here's the file:  -rwxr-xr-x  1 root    gimmulf 13229 2005-10-31 20:43 calc2.gif
[08:28] <farruinn> gimmulf: do 'sudo chown gimmulf calc2.gif'
[08:29] <Ropechoborra> Anybody who knows some linux supported IRC server_
[08:29] <Bonzodog> Ropechoborra: is conference room a piece of software
[08:29] <gimmulf> farruinn:  still same problem
[08:29] <Bonzodog> ?
[08:29] <Chizn> what is autofs4?
[08:29] <foampeace> i installed ubuntu-calendar....where is it?
[08:29] <erUSUL> Ropechoborra, apt-cache search irc server
[08:29] <Chizn> "WARNING: autofs kernel module is loaded, autofs4 needed
[08:29] <Chizn>  for correct behaviour. You might experience mount failures.
[08:29] <Chizn> " ??
[08:29] <Ropechoborra> Bonzodog piece of software??
[08:29] <gimmulf> farruinn:  sorry my fault, i was in wrong dir :)
[08:29] <farruinn> gimmulf: haha, was just about to ask that :)
[08:30] <Chizn> sorry for multilining :o(
[08:30] <gimmulf> :
[08:30] <gimmulf> :>
[08:30] <iiiears> foampeace, - is it an option to add to the taskbar by right clicking. - i would look there...
[08:30] <erUSUL> Chizn, do not paste here
[08:30] <Chizn> yea sorry
[08:31] <LeaChim> if i have a .run file - is there any way i can easily turn that into a .deb package?
[08:31] <gimmulf> how do i remove an symlink?
[08:31] <MarcN> gimmulf: rm filename
[08:31] <erUSUL> LeaChim, i do not think so
[08:31] <foampeace> iiiears: its not there
[08:31] <sverre> thanks for the help here. I will try in the Ubuntu forums instead for some time.
[08:31] <erUSUL> Ropechoborra, ircd
[08:31] <farruinn> foampeace: ubuntu-calendar installs images for your desktop background
[08:31] <iiiears> foampeace, - it was my best guess.
[08:32] <MarcN> LeaChim: never heard of a .run file.
[08:32] <sorush20> guys I keep getting this ghost script error.. can someone help http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3885
[08:32] <erUSUL> MarcN, usually bash scripts or shar files
[08:32] <levander> Are there better alternatives for a web spider than wget?
[08:32] <robotgeek> penguin_: so, u mean to say that you don't get the opportunity to switch to a console at all, at any time?
[08:32] <foampeace> farruinn: ok where do i find it?
[08:32] <levander> Or, is wget pretty much the top of the barrel?
[08:32] <robotgeek> levander: curl
[08:33] <robotgeek> levander: there's also a program called webhttrack
[08:33] <LeaChim> MarcN, they're script files, that display a dialog, then decompress and copy all the files inside them to othe right places
[08:33] <erUSUL> levander, iirc httptrack
[08:33] <levander> robotgeek: you have experience with curl?  My problem with wget is that it doesn't respect mime-type headers.  So, if your downloading an xml file as the default file in a directory, it gives the downloaded file a html extension.
[08:33] <penguin_> robotgeek: when gdm first pops up yes (im there now), if I login -or- try to choose another session type (nothing listed), it goes out to lunch...
[08:33] <ghb>  Where's the file that contains all the commands and stuff that are run at the start of each session?
[08:34] <farruinn> foampeace: system>preferences>desktop background
[08:34] <MarcN> LeaChim: no simple way to turn it into a .deb.  You could just install whatever by running the script.  Depends if they get in the right spots...
[08:34] <penguin_> robotgeek: im not getting any errors that I can find either...
[08:34] <LeaChim> MarcN, i don't particularly want to do that because i like being able to remove packages easily. not having to go hunting for what files to remove
[08:34] <robotgeek> levander: sorry, not much. though i think u can set regexes and stuff for filetypes in both curl and wget. but the other program webhttrack looks like a nice way to do it
[08:34] <farruinn> LeaChim: what are you trying to install?
[08:35] <robotgeek> penguin_: at the screen, just hit ctl + alt + f1. don't do anything that causes it to freeze
[08:35] <levander> robotgeek: guess I'll have to do it the hard way as usual and try them, but thanks for the pointer to other good programs
[08:35] <MarcN> LeaChim: but there is no simple way.  You can read up on how to make  a deb.  See the debian developer guides.  What software is it?
[08:35] <K-Rich> anyone wanna help me with a networking issue?
[08:35] <LeaChim> alienarena2006
[08:35] <K-Rich> i can't seem to use traceroute :/
[08:35] <foampeace> farruinn: hmm i looked...they arent there
[08:35] <levander> K-Rich: ask, and people will try to help
[08:35] <MarcN> LeaChim: a game?  /me never plays games.
[08:36] <LeaChim> MarcN, lol
[08:36] <K-Rich> levander: ok
[08:36] <penguin_> robotgeek: im at the command line now... been there looking through log files for some kind of clue...
[08:36] <levander> K-Rich: just ask
[08:36] <LeaChim> anyway, thanks for your help.
[08:36] <Annasweety> Can somebody please help me i just used Synaptic Package Manager to install Shorewall firewall but i don't see it any where in the menu?
[08:37] <robotgeek> penguin_: the first thing to do is to 'cd /etc/init.d/' and sudo update-rc.d gdm remove
[08:37] <erUSUL> Annasweety, shorewall is comand line only use firestarter
[08:37] <Silencer> damn problems
[08:38] <farruinn> foampeace: ok, just checked and you're right. At the terminal do 'dpkg -L ubuntu-calendar-march' and it will show you were the images were installed
[08:38] <erUSUL> Annasweety, to use sharewall you need to edit config files all over the place
[08:38] <Annasweety> so now what?
[08:38] <robotgeek> penguin_: that will stop gdm from coming up
[08:38] <Annasweety> how do i get rid of it?
[08:38] <bimberi> K-Rich: you need to install traceroute, tracepath is available though
[08:38] <trappist> apt-get remove shorewall
[08:38] <ver51on> I went to the ubuntu page to download the dvd image but all I get is this 4kb file. Am i retarded or the iamges not available in DVD format anymore?
[08:38] <erUSUL> Use synaptic to uninstall it and install firestarter
[08:38] <penguin_> robotgeek: says saomthing about it existing during rc.d purge, -f to force... force it?
[08:38] <robotgeek> penguin_: :), yep
[08:38] <erUSUL> Annasweety, instead
[08:39] <penguin_> robotgeek: rebooting
[08:39] <Annasweety> ok
[08:39] <robotgeek> penguin_: don't need to
[08:39] <Annasweety> instead what?
[08:39] <robotgeek> penguin_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[08:39] <Boobek> re
[08:39] <erUSUL> Annasweety, install firestarter is a graphical firewall
[08:40] <Annasweety> kk
[08:40] <Annasweety> what do i do with shorewall?
[08:40] <penguin_> robotgeek: o well, lol... give it a sec... the big thing that worries me here though is if Im having problems already, im more than likely going to have a bunch down the road wont I?
[08:40] <erUSUL> Annasweety, uninstall it with synaptic is as easy as installing it
[08:40] <robotgeek> penguin_: nope, not if we get them fixed :)
[08:40] <penguin_> robotgeek: true... =P what now? logged in...
[08:41] <Annasweety> yea should i get rid of it completly or just uninstallit?
[08:41] <ver51on> I went to the ubuntu page to download the dvd image but all I get is this 4kb file. Am i retarded or the iamges not available in DVD format anymore? Anyone .....
[08:41] <K-Rich> my machine has a static IP on my lan (10.0.0.1) because i run the apache web server on here, i also use the ddclient package for dyndns.org domain name... my /etc/resolv.conf is http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3887 ... my issue is i cannot use the portscan or traceroute tools in gnome-nettool .... any help is greatly appriciated.
[08:41] <robotgeek> penguin_: gdm did not come up, right. nano ~/.xinitrc
[08:41] <penguin_> robotgeek: put what in xinitrc - gnome-session?
[08:42] <sorush20> guys why is my font like this ?
[08:42] <sorush20> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3888
[08:42] <robotgeek> penguin_: put 'exec fluxbox'
[08:42] <penguin_> robotgeek: and yes, gdm did not come up
[08:42] <erUSUL> Annasweety, get rid of it. you are not ging to use it, right? you'll be using firestarter
[08:42] <Annasweety> yup
[08:43] <penguin_> robotgeek: dont have it yet, what is the package manager command? (newbie to debian/ubunto, sry)
[08:43] <sorush20> don't use ebay use freeads.net
[08:43] <robotgeek> penguin_: then save the file and startx.
[08:43] <kemik> Penguin: synaptic or apt-get
[08:43] <robotgeek> penguin_: sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[08:43] <antisocialboris> how can i get realplayer installed quickly to listen to a footy match?
[08:44] <penguin_> robotgeek: E: Countdn't find package fluxbox =(

[08:45] <antisocialboris> i followed instructions on the wiki and got no candidate
[08:45] <robotgeek> penguin_: you need to enable the universe repository.
[08:45] <robotgeek> !tell penguin_ about repos
[08:45] <Annasweety> I don't have firestarter on here??? Now what???
[08:45] <erUSUL> Annasweety, Firestarter is in my synaptic
[08:45] <budluva> Annasweety, apt-get install firestart?
[08:46] <budluva> Annasweety, apt-get install firestarter i mean
[08:46] <K-Rich> my machine has a static IP on my lan (10.0.0.1) because i run the apache web server on here, i also use the ddclient package for dyndns.org domain name... my /etc/resolv.conf is http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3887 ... my issue is i cannot use the portscan or traceroute tools in gnome-nettool .... any help is greatly appriciated.
[08:46] <BeGu> is it important to have firestarter?
[08:46] <penguin_> robotgeek: that link is for doing in through a gui =( how do you do it from the cmd line?
[08:46] <thrush> BeGu: no
[08:46] <erUSUL> Annasweety, it should be in yours it's in main repo
[08:46] <erUSUL> !tell Annasweety about repos
[08:47] <robotgeek> penguin_: i saw that too, goddamm.(i will add stuff to the wiki later :))
[08:47] <Annasweety> well you sure your package manager is the default
[08:47] <thrush> BeGu: especially if u use a router already
[08:47] <BeGu> thrush, ok, that's what  thought too
[08:47] <BeGu> I
[08:47] <penguin_> robotgeek: lol
[08:47] <robotgeek> penguin_: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:48] <penguin_> robotgeek: just uncomment one of the multiverse/universe ones?
[08:48] <iiiears> BeGu - no, Ubuntu is easier to configure iptables port forwarding for netwrk gateway eith firestarter. - iptables drops unrequested packets by default. "stealthy"
[08:48] <robotgeek> penguin_: uncomment the lines with universe in them.
[08:49] <Annasweety> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)

[08:49] <Stormx2> Does anyone use the Nicotine soulseek client?
[08:49] <erUSUL> Annasweety, yes. try this in a terminal 'sudo apt-get install firestarter'
[08:49] <Stormx2> Annasweety: sudo
[08:49] <robotgeek> penguin_: then 'sudo apt-get update'
[08:49] <Annasweety> ok
[08:49] <erUSUL> Annasweety, you need sudo
[08:49] <Stormx2> !tell Annasweety about sudo
[08:50] <Stormx2> Does anyone use the Nicotine soulseek client? (sorry to repeat)
[08:50] <penguin_> robotgeek: installing fluxbox now... =)
[08:50] <thrush> Stormx2: sometimes its a little slow
[08:50] <K-Rich> my machine has a static IP on my lan (10.0.0.1) because i run the apache web server on here, i also use the ddclient package for dyndns.org domain name... my /etc/resolv.conf is http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3887 ... my issue is i cannot use the portscan or traceroute tools in gnome-nettool .... any help is greatly appriciated.
[08:50] <Stormx2> thrush: Hmm. Have you used the "Run command after file finishes downloading" option?
[08:50] <Stormx2> It keeps linebreaking and messing up :-\
[08:51] <Annasweety> kk its being used right now it will work in a sec
[08:51] <Chizn> ubotu, tell chizn about rpc
[08:51] <Chizn> hum..
[08:51] <lsuactiafner> K-Rich : you need to be root to do somethings
[08:51] <thrush> Stormx2: no sorry
[08:51] <penguin_> robotgeek: argghhh! okay, fluxbox is doing the same thing now =( dont even think it is running, but I cant get back to the cmd line to check... =/ reboting...
[08:51] <robotgeek> Chizn: 'Chizn'
[08:51] <lsuactiafner> K-Rich : like nmap needs you to be root for some scans
[08:51] <Chizn> it worked
[08:51] <robotgeek> penguin_: right click
[08:51] <ganymed>  hallo. i have problems with the super user behaviour
[08:51] <Chizn> doesnt work when i message it direct tough
[08:51] <K-Rich> lsuactiafner: will try now
[08:51] <lsuactiafner> penguin_ : control alt f1
[08:52] <lsuactiafner> penguin_ : for cmd line
[08:52] <penguin_> robotgeek: there was nothing... how do I get sshd running on this box so I can get into it from the laptop when it locks up?
[08:52] <Chizn> i am having problems connecting to a nfs share, can anybody help?
[08:52] <Stormx2> beep-media-player -e $ ($ is filename... any ideas?)
[08:52] <robotgeek> penguin_: you mean to say that it locked up again?
[08:52] <lsuactiafner> penguin_ : apt-get install sshd
[08:52] <Annasweety> Reading package lists... Done
[08:52] <Annasweety> Building dependency tree... Done
[08:52] <Annasweety> E: Couldn't find package firestarter
[08:52] <penguin_> lsuactiafner: I loose the keyboard after a window manager/session tries to start up
[08:52] <Stormx2> !tell Annasweety about repos
[08:53] <lsuactiafner> penguin_ : chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm
[08:53] <erUSUL> !tell Annasweety about repos
[08:53] <farruinn> Annasweety: follow the directions ubotu gave you to enable universe
[08:53] <lsuactiafner> should allow you to boot into console to fix it
[08:53] <robotgeek> lsuactiafner: gdm is already disabled
[08:53] <Stormx2> erUSUL: One step ahead of ya
[08:53] <Annasweety> kk
[08:53] <lsuactiafner> what driver are you using for xorg/
[08:53] <Annasweety> i did that before when i had ubuntu
[08:53] <penguin_> lsuactiafner: gdm isnt being started, gave up on it for now, was trying with startx and fluxbox but same results
[08:53] <robotgeek> penguin_: so, it locked up even with fluxbox? interesting...so the problem is with x, most probably
[08:53] <ganymed> ok, what about this sudo stuff with the first user... i don't get along with that...
[08:54] <robotgeek> !tell ganymed about root
[08:54] <lsuactiafner> i doubt its with flux, i think its xorg and your driver for the card
[08:54] <Stormx2> ganymed: Ubuntu has root disabled by default. You can use sudo and gksudo
[08:54] <factotum> if you really want to, you can add a password to root to log in that way
[08:54] <Annasweety> but was a bit confused as to how many universe boxes should i have checked all of them or just a few or one?
[08:54] <Stormx2> Annasweety: Have a look at the sources.list file at pastebin...
[08:54] <penguin_> robotgeek: locked up is a bad phrase, X still worked and all (had the mouse cursor), but no keyboard and no windowmanager or anything coming up...
[08:55] <Chizn> what does "RPC Program not registered" mean when i try to mount a NFS share?
[08:55] <Stormx2> Annasweety: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/2325
[08:55] <thrush> are there any plans to make handeling repos a little more seamless at least multiverse in dapper? seems to be kind of a show stopper when people are just starting out
[08:55] <Stormx2> thrush: Dapper is a rubbish name, don't you agree?
[08:55] <robotgeek> penguin_: with fluxbox, you get nothing to indicate that it's up. right clicking will tell.
[08:55] <kemik> Chizn: installed nfs-common ?
[08:55] <penguin_> robotgeek: im assuming that since the laptop is working and has an nvidia card ((same as the desktop) with out the comercail drivers, that it isnt the driver.,..
[08:56] <lsuactiafner> penguin_ : add /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox in /home/user/.xinitrc and run xinit
[08:56] <farruinn> thrush: I think that is a priority for dapper, yes
[08:56] <ganymed> i know, thx anyway.... but i have enabled the su passwd. now i have problems with administrator mode with the normal user...
[08:56] <alex__> why the hell doesn't the installer doesn't suggest pppoe for internet ?
[08:56] <Chizn> kemik, yup
[08:56] <alex__> I mean how a newbie is supposed to now how to install internet ?
[08:56] <Stormx2> ganymed: yes, the admin tools won't work
[08:56] <penguin_> robotgeek: nothing works, right clicking, keyboard nothing... also sshd cant be found to install?
[08:56] <Stormx2> ganymed: because they run of gksudo
[08:56] <thrush> ah those devs are always one step ahead of me :)
[08:56] <robotgeek> penguin_: look at the files ~/xsession-errors and /var/log/Xorg.log
[08:57] <alex__> sorry but ubuntu installer sucks
[08:57] <Stormx2> alex__: How so?
[08:57] <Annasweety> ok thankx
[08:57] <alex__> if a newbie can't set up internet it's a failure
[08:57] <factotum> it isnt pretty enough or something?
[08:57] <alex__> ubuntu doesn't propose pppoe for networking
[08:57] <MarcN> alex__: what does install internet mean?
[08:57] <Stormx2> alex__: Just because you are a complaining ass doesn't mean it sucks. Now whats the problem?
[08:57] <dabaR> alex__: sudo pppoeconf in a terminal
[08:57] <K-Rich> lsuactiafner: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3890 i added a screen shot when ran as root....
[08:57] <Chizn> most noobs nowadays have a rj45 connection to a cable modem or dsl router anyway with DHCP enabled
[08:57] <Annasweety> im useing horay btw
[08:57] <alex__> dabaR, how a newbie is supposed to now that ? that's about what I am complainging
[08:58] <Chizn> they dont even need to think about it
[08:58] <Stormx2> alex__
[08:58] <penguin_> robotgeek: no errors in either that are not common or atleast the same on this laptop...
[08:58] <Stormx2> alex__: By asking in the support channel...
[08:58] <factotum> a newbie will be confused eventually no matter what distro they pick
[08:58] <robotgeek> penguin_: try this one for me? sudo apt-get install xterm. then add xterm & above 'exec fluxbox'
[08:58] <dabaR> alex__: well, I can only tell you that it took me at least a week to figure it out.
[08:58] <alex__> Stormx2, how can he asks if doesn't have internet ????
[08:58] <ganymed> and how to change this?
[08:58] <Chizn> lol
[08:58] <dabaR> alex__: stop asking questions you dont want an answer to
[08:58] <Distro^Junkie> is there another program other then k3b that can burn iso images ?
[08:58] <Stormx2> alex__: Ubuntu is probably the most friendly distro, but you can't expect it to know the answer to every question you've ever asked, make you a coffee and plump for pillow.
[08:58] <trappist> Distro^Junkie: cdrecord
[08:58] <penguin_> robotgeek: kk
[08:58] <antisocialboris> how do i install a realplayer plugin for firefox?
[08:58] <dstubbs> Ok guys major problem.. i cant get back to linux, everytime it boots it locks up because its starting "DECnet" any ideas
[08:58] <Chizn> can anybody help me with my NFS connection?
[08:58] <a8514> Oh GOD! I need help :'(
[08:58] <dabaR> Stormx2: it should allow for pppoeconf during install
[08:58] <lsuactiafner> Distro^Junkie : cdrecord
[08:58] <iiiears> StrormX - right click or gnomebaker - all use cdrecord
[08:58] <Annasweety> ok
[08:59] <alex__> dabaR, for me that's not normal. I like ubuntu, and now how to fix that but a newbie can't, it's a pity
[08:59] <Stormx2> a8514: What with?
[08:59] <MarcN> dstubbs: DECnet?
[08:59] <penguin_> robotgeek: need to get that sshd installed, but when I try it says sshd cannot be found... is that the right package name?
[08:59] <dabaR> alex__: agreed,
[08:59] <TotalNewb> Yay!! Ok. I have gotten Sympatico to download and install TinyFugue now I just need to figure out how to make it launch.
[08:59] <WildZeck> shh
[08:59] <a8514> I'm trying to deinstall phpmyadmin but I have problems with de removal script
[08:59] <trappist> Distro^Junkie: or xcdroast
[08:59] <WildZeck> only ss to get sshd
[08:59] <alex__> Stormx2, it's not abouyt me. I have the knowledge but my friend doesn't and other newbies
[08:59] <WildZeck> ssh
[08:59] <dabaR> alex__: know a distro that does it by default?
[08:59] <alex__> dabaR, mandriva probably does
[08:59] <dabaR> meh:-/
[08:59] <robotgeek> penguin_: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[08:59] <Stormx2> alex__: This channel is a lifeline for ubuntu, and thats why i like it :)
[08:59] <a8514> I can't remove phpmyadmin using aptitude or synaptic
[08:59] <Chizn> so far ive set a folder to be shared, when i try to access it using autofs it doesnt know where the host is and using non-autofs, mount -t nfs sharepoint:folder.. e.t.c. brings up RPC not registered?
[08:59] <alex__> I know pppoe is not common in the U sI thik
[08:59] <dstubbs> aye its under "setting Sensor limits" i need to know how to get back to linux to uninstall that crap ,  it set up kcpuload and it locked up in ADEPT, now i cant get back to linux and im on windblowz now
[09:00] <thehil> I have a question regarding English.  how do you distinguish the 2 English names in pronunciation: Megan & Meagan?
[09:00] <penguin_> robotgeek: kk
[09:00] <MarcN> dstubbs: uninstall dnet-common dnet-progs.    I seriously doubt you really need it.
[09:00] <dstubbs> marcn is there a CD i should burn
[09:00] <alex__> also ubuntu installed the swap partition at the end of the drive, that's stupid
[09:00] <robotgeek> thehil: not the right channel
[09:00] <Stormx2> a8514: Did you install it from a deb?
[09:00] <a8514> yes
[09:00] <dstubbs> MarcN i cant get back to linux to do that, recovery mode wont work either
[09:00] <Stormx2> a8514: It should be removable with apt-get or synaptic
[09:00] <dabaR> a8514: what is the problem you are getting tho?] 
[09:00] <rompetechos> hola! algun espaol por aqui???
[09:00] <a8514> ... this:
[09:00] <WildZeck> Penguin,  t'es deguis ce soir?
[09:01] <sorush20> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3888
[09:01] <Stormx2> !es
[09:01] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[09:01] <sorush20> guys why is my font like this ?
[09:01] <sorush20> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3888
[09:01] <Chizn> aaanybody?
[09:01] <MarcN> DECnet is an old networking protocol that hardly anyone outside the VMS world uses anymore.  Try booting single user mode and then remove the packages I mentioned.
[09:01] <iiiears> !fr
[09:01] <ubotu> Va a #ubuntu-fr pour aide et discussion en francais
[09:01] <robotgeek> sorush20: funky, but i am not sure why that happened. sorry!
[09:02] <Ropechoborra> How do i mount a ntfs with write permissions ?
[09:02] <robotgeek> sorush20: maybe installing the msttcorefonts package might help
[09:02] <Chizn> does anybody know of a good FTP server?
[09:02] <dstubbs> MarcN im not explaining it right.. From Grub , when i boot to Ubuntu , it locks up on bootsplash when "setting sensor limits" it wont let me in
[09:02] <robotgeek> Chizn: vsftp
[09:02] <a8514> db_get phpmyadmin/reconfigure-webserver
[09:02] <dabaR> iiiears: /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:02] <Stormx2> sorush20: You may need a fonts package
[09:02] <trappist> <3 pure-ftpd
[09:02] <erUSUL> Ropechoborra, you can't
[09:02] <Stormx2> sorush20: i think it is called msttcorefonts
[09:02] <a8514> the pre-removal script returns an error
[09:02] <Chizn> where could i get that from?
[09:02] <MarcN> dstubbs: from the grub window, before the kernel boots, you can pass it boot parameters.  Something like putting S at the end of the kernel= line
[09:03] <Ropechoborra> erUSUL Nope ??? :S
[09:03] <a8514> So, I cant uninstall phpmyadmin using aptitude
[09:03] <iiiears> dabaR - you didn't see the french user?
[09:03] <dabaR> Chizn: ftp does not encrypt your password at all, so it travels in plain text over the net
[09:03] <antisocialboris> firefox realplayer plugin help anyone?
[09:03] <erUSUL> Ropechoborra, current driver has not suport for write in ntfs (not stable)
[09:03] <dstubbs> MArcN okk dont understand that but ill try :)
[09:03] <dstubbs> brb if it doesnt work
[09:03] <penguin_> robotgeek: okay this is really strange, nvr encountered this before - both fluxbox and xterm are running (ssh'd in, and ps'd) but neither are being displayed on screen...
[09:03] <a8514> dabar? any idea?
[09:03] <MarcN> dstubbs: like rh says: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/custom-guide/s1-rescuemode-booting-single.html
[09:03] <robotgeek> penguin_: ctl + alt + f7
[09:04] <kemik> dabaR: ftp + ssl is secure
[09:04] <Chizn> dabaR,  i dont mind, im only using it to transfer some files from one pc on the network to another
[09:04] <penguin_> robotgeek: keyboard doesnt work now =(
[09:04] <Chizn> i am having trouble setting up NFS
[09:04] <trappist> Chizn: use scp
[09:04] <dabaR> antisocialboris: there is really a plugin like that? i thought you needed to install mozilla-mplayer
[09:04] <Chizn> scp?
[09:04] <kemik> Chizn: nfs should not be a problem
[09:04] <trappist> scp filename remotebox:/path/to/destination
[09:04] <dabaR> Chizn: did you know synaptic has a search function?
[09:04] <Chizn> well
[09:05] <dabaR> Chizn: are both ubuntu?
[09:05] <iiiears> ship lspci may clarify things
[09:05] <Chizn> yes both are ubuntu
[09:05] <dabaR> iiiears: I saw, wanna join there?
[09:05] <Chizn> when i try to mount the share it says RPC not registered
[09:05] <iiiears> lol nvm - i need fewer windows open - sorry.
[09:05] <dabaR> a8514: ya an idea, paste your error to paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[09:05] <antisocialboris> the wiki told me to apt-get install realplayer but it didnt work so i d/led and installed realplayer, now i just need to get it working with fx
[09:05] <MarcN> Chizn: sounds like nfs isn't started.  Or you added mount points in /etc/exports
[09:05] <airmikey_> any 1 running muine if so how do i get the album covers to come up
[09:05] <kemik> Chizn: what does google tell you? :P
[09:05] <erUSUL> Chizn, have you got portmap running??
[09:06] <Stormx2> antisocialboris: What was the problem with apt-get install realplayer?
[09:06] <penguin_> robotgeek: im trying the binary drivers, maybe the nv driver doesnt like the 6800 or something
[09:06] <Chizn> and when i do an autofs route it says no file or dir
[09:06] <penguin_> robotgeek: Ijust killed X and everything locked up =(
[09:06] <antisocialboris> it didnt find a candidate
[09:06] <Chizn> portmap?
[09:06] <Stormx2> antisocialboris: Check the repos.
[09:06] <Chizn> ermm..?
[09:06] <robotgeek> penguin_: oh god, it just seems to be getting worse :(
[09:06] <penguin_> robotgeek: lol - yep =-/
[09:07] <kemik> Chizn: /etc/init.d/nfs-common restart
[09:07] <erUSUL> Chizn, you need it running for the rpc calls is a daemon
[09:07] <penguin_> robotgeek: do I install the drivers from the cmd line, or through apt-get?
[09:07] <Chizn> how do i find out?
[09:07] <robotgeek> penguin_: i am on ppc, so you are on your own there.
[09:07] <dabaR> Chizn: do you have ssh servers installed? just mount the pther computer through nautilus
[09:07] <robotgeek> penguin_: ask around here though :)
[09:08] <kemik> Chizn: "ps aux | grep portmap" will tell you if it's running
[09:08] <erUSUL> Chizn, ps ax | grep portmap
[09:08] <antisocialboris> im not sure which repositories i need
[09:08] <robotgeek> penguin_: even ssh locked up?
[09:08] <Chizn> seems to be yes
[09:09] <Delvien> MarcN do you know the specific command
[09:09] <robotgeek> penguin_: look at your Xorg log file in /var/log/ , and ~/xsession-errors
[09:09] <penguin_> robotgeek: ummm, cant be sure but I dont think so...
[09:09] <Chizn> erUSUL, thank you anyway
[09:09] <Chizn> kemik, i restarted it, still same error
[09:09] <penguin_> robotgeek: no errors
[09:10] <robotgeek> penguin_: is there nothing in ~/xsession-errors also?
[09:10] <Chizn> dabaR, how do i figure if ssh is running?
[09:10] <kemik> Chizn: and it's running on the server?
[09:10] <penguin_> robotgeek: whats the arg to apt-get to search for pckg names?
[09:10] <kemik> Chizn: nfs-kernel-server && nfs-common
[09:10] <robotgeek> penguin_: apt-cache search <whatever>
[09:10] <Chizn> yes
[09:11] <dabaR> Chizn: sudo aptitude install openssh-server installs it through the terminal
[09:11] <^Woop^> hello im trying to compile something under ubuntu and it say configure: error: Could not find socks library.  You must first install socks. were i can get it ?
[09:11] <penguin_> robotgeek: invalid operation?
[09:11] <dabaR> ^Woop^: just install your socks, for the shoe package.
[09:12] <robotgeek> penguin_: check for spelling errors :) 'search'
[09:12] <iiiears> dabaR - you are bad. - ;p
[09:12] <penguin_> robotgeek: nvr mind, wrong cmd =P
[09:12] <dabaR> iiiears: are you gonna /j #ubuntu-offtopic or what?
[09:12] <iiiears> the shoes package?
[09:12] <Chizn> right i have the openssh running
[09:12] <Chizn> now what?
[09:13] <dabaR> Chizn: on one of the computers, click places> connect to server...
[09:13] <DonnieDarko> I made a mistake when editing xorg.conf. Now I can't launch X. How can I edit this file from the command line?
[09:14] <Chizn> oki
[09:14] <robotgeek> DonnieDarko: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:14] <dabaR> choose ssh as type of service, and type in the ip of the other computer, and your admin username for the computer.
[09:14] <DonnieDarko> robotgeek: Thanks!
[09:14] <dabaR> and then you have a my computer type of thing.
[09:14] <penguin_> robotgeek: interesting - it is the nv driver that was hozing everything up...
[09:14] <robotgeek> DonnieDarko: though u could also do, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xerver-xorg
[09:15] <robotgeek> penguin_: use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xerver-xorg to select vesa or whatever :)
[09:15] <DonnieDarko> robotgeek: I'll try both
[09:15] <penguin_> robotgeek: everything works with the nvidia binary driver, atleast xterm and fluxbox =)
[09:15] <Distro^Junkie> just downloaded an iso image and k3b is saying its not a Iso 9660 format but when you do a properties on it.... it says Iso 9660
[09:15] <robotgeek> penguin_: neato!
[09:15] <Delvien> Can anyone tell me the command you use to do a failsafe boot from grub, if recovery mode doesnt work
[09:16] <jorgg> what program in linux is a good analog for the windows program dc++ ?
[09:16] <penguin_> robotgeek: going to try gdm now /crossing fingers/
[09:16] <penguin_> robotgeek: what was that rcupdate command to turn gdm off?
[09:17] <robotgeek> penguin_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[09:17] <Zeus> Hello there. I need some help. My ubuntu box runs fine until i make a new user session. The image gets corrupted. If i return to the first session all gets fine again. Anyone knows how to resolve this problem?
[09:18] <DonnieDarko> robotgeek: Once I have edited my xorg.conf with nano, how do I save and exit?
[09:18] <iiiears> Distro^Junkie, - your burning apps are messed up. try the dd command dd if=/some/directory/your.file of=/some/directory/file_you_want_to_.create
[09:18] <robotgeek> DonnieDarko: ctl + x i think, you shud see cues at the bottom

[09:18] <penguin_> robotgeek: woohoo!!! its working now =P now, how do I get gdm start from boot again?
[09:19] <robotgeek> penguin_: cd /etc/init.d/ && sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults
[09:19] <iiiears> startx
[09:19] <Otis> evening ... my PC's HD wasn't recognised at GRUB boot time ... could this be something screwed in Ubuntu or is it just a coincidence that my PC is dying on me at this time ?
[09:20] <coolkev> where is the shutdown/reboot e.t.c button or option in breezy
[09:20] <Otis> rebooting 3 times finally got Ubuntu loading but then X failed to launch
[09:20] <coolkev> never mind
[09:20] <Otis> coolkev: log off
[09:20] <coolkev> i found it
[09:20] <Otis> coolkev: ok
[09:20] <coolkev> ye otis
[09:20] <dreameen> hello
[09:20] <Otis> I had to hit the reste button on the machine as I was trying to shut it down
[09:21] <iiiears> Otis - winmac_fstab is a nice script to find and mount all filesystems and edit fstab automatically. you can find it here.
[09:21] <dreameen> why are my icons in oo2 dissapearing?
[09:21] <iiiears> !ntfs
[09:21] <ubotu> it has been said that ntfs is the (N)(T) (F)ile(S)ystem, the filesystem normally used under Windows XP. To automatically mount your NTFS partition/s - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[09:21] <Chizn> dabaR, how do i know what folder it is that i need to connect to?
[09:21] <Otis> the next boot it told me that the drive wasn't recognised
[09:21] <dreameen> is it a common bug?
[09:21] <Chizn> or will it all be there?
[09:21] <Delvien> Can anyone tell me the command you use to do a failsafe boot from grub, if recovery mode doesnt work
[09:21] <foampeace> anyone prefer kubuntu
[09:21] <penguin_> robotgeek: thx for your help, who would I mention this issue with the nvidia cards to, so they could put it up on the wiki?
[09:21] <dabaR> Chizn: whatever.
[09:21] <Delvien> Can anyone tell me the command you use to do a failsafe boot from grub, if recovery mode doesnt work
[09:21] <robotgeek> penguin_: you can go and all that information yourself.
[09:21] <Delvien> sorry for repeat, mirc spazzed out
[09:21] <Zeus> Anyone plz knows hiw to resolve my problem? or give me some clues?
[09:22] <penguin_> robotgeek: o - cool, i'll check it out then =)
[09:22] <robotgeek> penguin_: cool, have fun with ur box. cya around!
[09:22] <Otis> iiiears: well I don't know if I need that ... the machine boots NOW but it won't start X anymore
[09:22] <Otis> It can fail to a tty
[09:23] <Otis> iiiears: and I can log on with that but it's really broken
[09:23] <_Dez> ubuntu sucks
[09:23] <Otis> really ?
[09:23] <_Dez> yes.
[09:23] <K-Rich> my machine has a static IP on my lan (10.0.0.1) because i run the apache web server on here, i also use the ddclient package for dyndns.org domain name... my /etc/resolv.conf is http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3892 ... my issue is i cannot use the portscan or traceroute tools in gnome-nettool .... any help is greatly appriciated.
[09:23] <Otis> _Dez: you sure you're in the right forum ?
[09:23] <Chizn> ahh
[09:23] <_Dez> lol
[09:23] <Otis> ;-)
[09:24] <_Dez> well
[09:24] <iiiears> Otis - hm - there is a sessions  option on login screen do you have default gnome failsafe terminal enabld?
[09:24] <_Dez> first ... my x doesnt work
[09:24] <_Dez> i dont know why
[09:24] <osfameron> gah, synaptics touchpad is even more insane than usual
[09:24] <CaBlGuY> anyone up for helpin me with Audo/video stuff??
[09:24] <sorush20> what are the main desktop publishing tools in Linux?
[09:25] <thiemo> Hello!
[09:25] <Delvien> MarcN you there?
[09:25] <erUSUL> sorush20, scribus
[09:25] <iiiears> sorush - latex and open office that i am aware of.
[09:25] <erUSUL> sorush20, use latex directly or with lyx
[09:25] <thiemo> sorry... i dont find any information in the net.. how can i update my 5.4 to 5.10? Boot with the 5.10 installation disk?
[09:25] <iiiears> erSUL - scribus. - thats it.
[09:25] <Zeus> Hello there. I need some help. My ubuntu box runs fine until i make a new user session. The image gets corrupted. If i return to the first session all gets fine again. Anyone knows how to resolve this problem?
[09:25] <dooglus> I was complaining earlier that my "smbfs" mounts limit me to 2Gb file sizes.  Well, I found a solution:  use "-t cifs" instead of "-t smbfs" and it works.
[09:25] <Otis> iiiears: I don't get to the graphic log on ... when X fails to start, it offers to show me a log or to exit to TTY
[09:25] <Zeus> anyone?
[09:25] <Otis> iiiears: I'm going to re-install from scratch
[09:25] <frank23> !tell thiemo about upgrade2breezy
[09:26] <Delvien> Major problem guys, i cant boot linux, it freezes on boot splash when loading the OS , AND on recovery mode, is there any way i can boot linux and unstall the package that is causing it? the package is "DECnet"
[09:26] <Otis> iiiears: I'm even going to remove the master disk and make the old slave one the new master and re-install on that
[09:26] <CaBlGuY> !tell CaBlGuY about upgrade2breezy
[09:26] <thiemo> thank you frank... i'll examine it
[09:26] <iiiears> Otis  okay - sounds like X is need of a little attention. - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg    would help  run lspci in a terminal to see your vid card info write it down.
[09:27] <pigeonflight> Is there a way to apt-get world wind?
[09:28] <Chizn> thank you dabaR!!!
[09:28] <erUSUL> pigeonflight, no afaik
[09:28] <_Dez> when i boot up ubuntu i get to a black screen and it doesnt go any further
[09:28] <vbgunz> I have a lost+found folder in my home directory that belongs to root... Can I sudo rm it and is it safe? It just appeared there overnight :P
[09:28] <Chizn> you saved my ass, i think imma use openSSH from now on, its well good!
[09:28] <pigeonflight> erUSUL: no plans on having it there?
[09:28] <iiiears> Otis - two disks are better than one if you need to reinstall windows or linux the other OS is comepletely unaffected.
[09:28] <erUSUL> pigeonflight, no idea sorry
[09:28] <Delvien> Anyone know if LiveCD can access a current install of Ubuntu to remove packages???????????
[09:29] <pigeonflight> Ok thanks
[09:29] <crimsun> Delvien: sure, if you chroot into it
[09:29] <iiiears> Hi crimsun
[09:29] <Otis> iiiears: what other OS ? LOL
[09:29] <Otis> iiiears: no dual boot on that machine, Sir !
[09:30] <iiiears> CPM?
[09:30] <Delvien> crimsun how do i do that
[09:30] <CaBlGuY> if I upgrade to Breezy, will that fix the glitches in Audi and Video players??
[09:30] <Otis> in fact, there may even not be one single boot right now
[09:30] <erUSUL> Delvien, you can chroot to the hd instalation and use comand line
[09:30] <K-Rich> my machine has a static IP on my lan (10.0.0.1) because i run the apache web server on here, i also use the ddclient package for dyndns.org domain name... my /etc/resolv.conf is http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3892 ... my issue is i cannot use the portscan or traceroute tools in gnome-nettool .... any help is greatly appriciated.
[09:30] <CaBlGuY> *audio
[09:30] <Delvien> erUSUL this is from liveCD?
[09:31] <Zeus> Hello there. I need some help. My ubuntu box runs fine until i make a new user session. The image gets corrupted. If i return to the first session all gets fine again. Anyone knows how to resolve this problem?
[09:31] <erUSUL> Delvien, i have never done it but it should work
[09:31] <Otis> iiiears: but do you think that I have a h/w problem or could it be that the OS was damaged by a bad power-off ?
[09:31] <Delvien> Can i use adept to remove it?
[09:31] <Delvien> probibily not
[09:31] <penguin_> robotgeek: hey, there seems to be a version mismatch between the kernel module and the X driver when using the apt-get, should I just install via the bianry drivers from the website?
[09:31] <Delvien> What is the command to remove ? sudo apt-remove ? ::P
[09:31] <dreameen> and why the heck arial font is so tightly spaced in openoffice
[09:31] <trappist> apt-get remove
[09:31] <Nihil85> hallo,
[09:32] <Delvien> coool ill try that
[09:32] <Nihil85> i've solved my nvidia problems!!!
[09:32] <Nihil85> thanks to erUsul
[09:32] <Nihil85> yuppie
[09:32] <Nick_Hill> or if you used aptitude to install, you can use aptitude to remove, which will rid all dependencies on that oneinstalled package sudo aptitude remove
[09:32] <erUSUL> Delvien, apt-get remove [--purge] 
[09:32] <iiiears> Otis - your X server fails to start and are dropped back into a terminal. -  it sounds like sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  should fix your problem.
[09:33] <Nihil85> i have only a last problem, but not so important: when the desktop is loading, before the wallpaper is loaded, i see the screen very bad, like an "without antenna" effect. what could it be?
[09:33] <CaBlGuY> anyone??   if I upgrade to Breezy, will that fix the glitches in Audoi and Video players??
[09:33] <Otis> iiiears: does that require the CD or an internet connection ?
[09:33] <Nick_Hill> Nihil85, Are you using an LCD monitor?
[09:33] <Otis> iiiears: or neither ?
[09:33] <Nihil85> yes, nich_hill
[09:33] <iiiears> Nihil85 - double check your monitor refresh rates?
[09:34] <Nihil85> uhmmmm
[09:34] <Nihil85> no :P
[09:34] <iiiears> Otis - ubotu has a link that has helped me
[09:34] <chmod777> how can I install gcc (gnu c compiler) compiler under ubuntu?
[09:34] <Nihil85> but it's only when the desktop is loading, not in other moments

[09:35] <CaBlGuY> NoUse,  well, Im having problems with XMMS freezing up if I try to play ANY audio in it and, I can't play any video files at all
[09:35] <Nick_Hill> Nihil85, Your problem is likely your monitor syncing to the signal. A single pixel hatched pattern confuses mine.
[09:35] <K-Rich> !gnome-nettool
[09:35] <ubotu> K-Rich: I don't know, could you explain it?
[09:35] <ANTDx1> Alright guys I sort of have a problem
[09:35] <NoUse> CaBlGuY which video player are you using?

[09:36] <Nick_Hill> Nihil85, Why do you want to change the refresh rate on the LCD screen?
[09:36] <NoUse> CaBlGuY you just use apt
[09:36] <CaBlGuY> apt get?
[09:36] <Nihil85> ah

[09:37] <osh> I have a question about LVM. My lvm management tool (evms) reports that the kernel sees one disk as having 16 heads while the partition records sais it's 255.  This means that I get an error while trying to resize disks and such. Anyone know what might cause this and how to solve it?
[09:37] <cyphase> if i have a computer behind a firewall, and i don't have access to that firewall, and i want to access a VNC server on that computer, can i somehow make the server on the computrer behind the firewall connect to a client on my computer?
[09:37] <NoUse> CaBlGuY beep-media-player
[09:37] <cyphase> if you see what i mean :)

[09:38] <cyphase> if need be
[09:39] <anto9us> cyphase, look at the -L option on ssh
[09:39] <cyphase> but i can't open a port on the firewall..
[09:39] <iiiears> cyphase - FreeNX is a bit speedier if more difficult to configure - port forwarding
[09:39] <cyphase> well, here's my situation..
[09:39] <anto9us> cyphase, you can't ssh through the firewall?
[09:40] <cyphase> i need to be able to VNC/NX/whatever into a computer behind a firewall..
[09:40] <cyphase> the person who owns that computer doesn't know what a firewall is..
[09:40] <trappist> if you can ssh in and you read about -L in the ssh man page your problem is solved
[09:40] <cyphase> all they can do is click on something
[09:40] <cyphase> trappist, that's if i'm going the other way
[09:40] <cyphase> hmm

[09:41] <cyphase> i guess i would so something like that..

[09:43] <thrush> cyphase: with ssh -X you could at least access gui stuff
[09:43] <Wiggle> * openoffice
[09:43] <Wiggle> sorry
[09:44] <grogoreo> I've just been looking at the Gnome System Monitor and noticed that just browsing on firefox, the histogram goes everywhere then stablises when I come idle. Just moving the scroller on my mouse up and down, fastly, goes to 100%. My processor is P4 2GHz with 1GB RAM. I really don't get how it can use so much power.
[09:44] <NoUse> Wiggle how much memory do you have?

[09:44] <Wiggle> but no swap though :P
[09:44] <NoUse> Wiggle you may try removing ~/.openoffice/ and try again
[09:45] <PR3DLAND> is there a command to verify the size and how full a hard drive is?
[09:45] <Wiggle> k

[09:45] <Wiggle> is there an easy way to update it? :)
[09:45] <PR3DLAND> that works on redhat?

[09:47] <mjr> PR3DLAND, yes, though nowadays also SATA drives and USB drives are visible as sd?
[09:47] <anto9us> ANTDx1, it's probably installing the graphics driver module
[09:47] <etsme> its Conexant chip based, the site of apache-microperihrals doesn't support linux drivers
[09:47] <etsme> anyhelp in this regard how to make it work
[09:47] <PR3DLAND> well this is a dell 1400 server
[09:47] <ANTDx1> how long should that take?  on my other computers, it didn't do that
[09:48] <anto9us> ANTDx1, depends on the card/driver
[09:48] <PR3DLAND> the squid keeps shutting down
[09:48] <etsme> !modem
[09:48] <ubotu> etsme: Are you on ritalin?

[09:49] <PR3DLAND> lol ritalin
[09:49] <Wiggle> And another thing, I can't seem to get the network printer (hosted on a windows computer) to work with ubuntu. I tried adding it, but I think the location or something is messed up since it doesn't work. It has the correct drivers.
[09:49] <dewd> how to reload the fstab?!
[09:49] <etsme> !modem driver help
[09:49] <ubotu> etsme: I'm not sure, is it larger than a breadbox?

[09:50] <varsedangger> anyuone run linus on a pda?
[09:50] <varsedangger> linux
[09:51] <budgester> Wiggle: could you try and get the printer installed direct on the linux box then share it with samba
[09:51] <osh> noone knows about disk-geometry and lvm?
[09:51] <PR3DLAND> Wiggle do you have cupsys installed?
[09:51] <anto9us> varsedangger, I'm going to put it on a hx4700 as soon as the wifi driver is sorted

[09:54] <MarcN> chmod777:  apache2 may be a better choice at this point.

[09:54] <Sanne> heya, I'm just testing the breezy live cd, first time on ubuntu, what a nice system! :)
[09:54] <Zeus> I need some help. My ubuntu box runs fine until i make a new user session. The image gets corrupted. If i return to the first session all gets fine again. Anyone knows how to resolve this problem?
[09:54] <penguin_> NoUse: kk - it wasnt installed, prolly an after effect from compiling it or something, how do I get the 7667 module? The legacy package is 7147....
[09:54] <budgester> Sanne: we like it too
[09:54] <varsedangger> if you gave me your address i'd send you the newest one /live and install
[09:54] <varsedangger> juanFco,
[09:55] <anto9us> Sanne, I think it's better than nice :)
[09:55] <Sanne> budgester, thought so :)
[09:55] <chmod777> k thx, but cannot get mysql files
[09:55] <chmod777> MarcN
[09:55] <NoUse> penguin_ I just followed the nvidia instructions on the wiki
[09:55] <NoUse> !nvidia
[09:55] <ubotu> nvidia is, like, totally, at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[09:55] <etsme> can i update / install Java through Synaptic Update Manager ?
[09:55] <budgester> chmod 777: try mysql-server
[09:55] <anto9us> !java
[09:55] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadeb
[09:56] <Sanne> anto9us, after some time messing around with it, I'm also leaning into this direction :)
[09:56] <penguin_> NoUse: lol - with I could do that, but I cant get the window managers to work, can only do this from the cmd line =(
[09:56] <MarcN> chmod777: apt-cache search mysql | more     and get the right package names.
[09:56] <NoUse> penguin_ so you use lynx
[09:56] <InitMass> is breezy using esd sound?
[09:56] <NoUse> penguin_ the web doesn't need a GUI
[09:56] <budgester> InitMass: nope alsa i believe
[09:57] <NoUse> penguin_ correction: links
[09:57] <penguin_> NoUse: no, but the wiki, at least the one I went to uses the gui to install it...
[09:57] <varsedangger> how the heck can i get nautalus to feel more like konquorer ?
[09:57] <worthawholebean> Hi! I'm having problems installing mysql from apt.
[09:57] <chmod777> apt-get install mysql-server worked
[09:57] <NoUse> penguin_ links is a cmd based web browser
[09:57] <InitMass> budgester, it was using esound in previous versions of ubuntu anyway
[09:57] <anto9us> Sanne, it's a lot faster when it's installed
[09:57] <penguin_> NoUse
[09:57] <budgester> varse: install konquorer ?
[09:58] <lachoss> hi
[09:58] <NoUse> penguin_ synaptic and apt-get are the same thing, just look for the package names
[09:58] <penguin_> NoUse: I know... the wiki that I went shows you how to upgrade the drivers using the gui from the menus... not the cmdline....
[09:58] <budgester> gaim rocks now i can connect to google talk, irc and msn in one package, gotta love it
[09:58] <Jhair>   /quit
[09:58] <Otis> is it possible for a bad shutdown to cause failures in the re-start ? things like HDs not being recognised ... then X being broken (not starting up) ?
[09:58] <varsedangger> that might work, but i want to configure the look of nautilus
[09:58] <worthawholebean> it gives me: http://pastebin.com/412580
[09:58] <lachoss> is there anything like xterm with tabs and utf-8 support? i tried mrxvt but it doesn't support utf-8. and gnome-terminal is so slow...
[09:58] <Sanne> anto9us, actually, I think it's pretty fast right now, apart from cd accessing, of course. After disabling font antialiasing, it's snappier still.
[09:59] <budgester> lachoss: you tried gnome-terminal ?
[09:59] <penguin_> NoUse: i've tried installing the kernel modules (the only ones that show up from apt-cache search nvidia), and they are version 7147 - am I doing something wrong?
[09:59] <varsedangger> --- i would have to say that is my one beef with gnome... it is kinda hard to configure stuff
[09:59] <budgester> note to self, read till end of messages , doh
[09:59] <MarcN> Otis: sure.  Usually the filesystem will be checked/repaired.   Should always be found though...
[09:59] <NoUse> penguin_ if you just read the wiki, you install nvidia-glx and then run sudo nvidia-glx-config-enable
[10:00] <worthawholebean> Can someone help me?
[10:00] <_jason> did ubuntu forums just go down?
[10:00] <NoUse> penguin_ correction: sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[10:00] <budgester> worthawholebean: nope we cant, only drugs can help you
[10:00] <Otis> MarcN: ok, that makes sense ... even Mandrake 8.1 did that properly back in the day ... I'll just assume a failing HD and re-install on a more recent HD ... thanks !
[10:00] <sunsun> hi how to find out which package contains a program i want (oggenc)
[10:00] <sunsun> ?
[10:00] <MarcN> worthawholebean: is this the first time you've started mysql?
[10:00] <erUSUL> worthawholebean, have you visited the site http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Error_creating_InnoDB.html as it says in the error message
[10:00] <worthawholebean> yes
[10:01] <worthawholebean> yes
[10:01] <erUSUL> ??
[10:01] <worthawholebean> erUSUL: it doesn't help
[10:01] <etsme> why they want money for Connexant based chip modems ?
[10:01] <sunsun> hi what aptitude commmand will tell which package contains a program i want (oggenc)?
[10:02] <Zeus> I need some help. My ubuntu box runs fine until i make a new user session. The image gets corrupted. If i return to the first session all gets fine again. Anyone knows how to resolve this problem?
[10:02] <Chris_Tucker> whats the address for the winmac_fstab file for mounting NTFS partitions and the like?
[10:02] <budgester> sunsun: on a cli, try apt-cache search oggenc
[10:02] <MarcN> worthawholebean: you messing with and /etc/my.cnf?
[10:02] <ProN00b> are there tools i can watch suspicious network activity towards my box easyly ? (like view incoming connection attempts/udp packets to closed ports sneaky formatted packets, icmp)
[10:02] <erUSUL> !tell Chris_Tucker about windowsdrives
[10:03] <budgester> worthawholebean: try looking at /var/log/mysql files see if the error is more specific in there
[10:03] <sunsun> budgester thansk a lot
[10:03] <MarcN> ProN00b: I have my linksys send snmptraps to my linux server and then watch those logs.  That way I see anyone probing my dsl line anywhere.
[10:03] <iiiears> ProN00b, -ethereal?
[10:03] <budgester> PronOOB: you wanna try etherape or ethereal
[10:03] <Chris_Tucker> thank you erUSUL
[10:03] <chmod777> I have downloaded and installed phpmyadmin,apache2 and mysql, but i cannot see their name on my drop downmenu, how can i start them?
[10:03] <varsedangger> hey i am trying to find out hoe to run vlc
[10:03] <bonez> Can someone help me installing nvidia drivers? I've done it before, but forgot how to and I don't have the webage left becouse I reinstalled ubuntu 5.10 >.<
[10:03] <ProN00b> MarcN, got not router
[10:04] <varsedangger> i basically wnat to find out how to run streaming stuff
[10:04] <NoUse> !tell bonez about nvidia
[10:04] <crimsun> bonez: wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:04] <budgester> chmod: try http://localhost/phpmyadmin
[10:04] <MarcN> chmod777: where do you expect to see your name?
[10:04] <ProN00b> iiiears, ethereal catches everything and doesn't try to differentiate between good and bad traffic
[10:04] <chmod777> ok thx its works
[10:05] <MarcN> ProN00b: for short time frames ethereal is a good choice.
[10:05] <chmod777> last question today :-P which are exe files on linux? .bin?
[10:05] <erUSUL> chmod777, apache and mysql starts at boot time
[10:05] <ompaul> ProN00b, hardly worthwhile if you stay patched looking at ports outside of the range of those open, the tools your talking about are very expensive in terms of actual cpu processing if you are running other services, if you really feel that you need it put snort there
[10:05] <MarcN> chmod777: you can't tell just by looking at the filename.
[10:05] <VooDoo> chmod: no extension much in linux
[10:05] <budgester> ProN00b: try etherape
[10:05] <VooDoo> bin could be a iso type file!
[10:05] <nosilver4u> chmod777: most of them are in /usr/bin
[10:06] <erUSUL> chmod777, /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin ...
[10:06] <MarcN> chmod777: you can manually start/restart apache:  sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart     mysql:  sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[10:06] <ProN00b> MarcN, of course, but i am talking about something i start and can look at it once a day to check for funny stuff
[10:06] <chmod777> htx for help ppl
[10:06] <bluefrog-10> !defaultdvdplayer
[10:06] <ubotu> bluefrog-10: parse error: dunno what the heck you're talking about
[10:06] <chmod777> thx
[10:06] <bluefrog-10> !player
[10:06] <ubotu> bluefrog-10: I don't know, could you explain it?
[10:06] <MarcN> chmod777: you can also check by using the file command.  likethis:       file /usr/bin/vim
[10:06] <budgester> ProN00b: you could try something like ipcop as a firewall, that does a lot of logging of connections
[10:06] <erUSUL> !dvd
[10:06] <ubotu> DVD playing is possible in ubuntu, some DVDs may require libdvdcss2 which you can obtain by installing 'libdvdread3' and then running 'sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh'
[10:06] <VooDoo> or there is smoothwall!
[10:07] <ProN00b> no, connections are valid traffic ^^
[10:07] <bluefrog-10> !tell bluefrog default dvd player
[10:07] <ines> hi
[10:07] <NoUse> bluefrog-10 you can msg ubotu privatly if you want to test out stuff
[10:07] <chmod777> hmm interesting, I have installed nessus server and also nessus client, but i don't know how to start the client with graphic interface
[10:07] <VooDoo> if your in the UK theres an article in CustomPC magazine about installing smoothwall
[10:07] <MarcN> ProN00b: setup simple iptables (read up on firewalls) and just poke holes for in access for things like port 22 (ssh) and 80 (http) maybe a few others.  All the rest deny and log.
[10:07] <bluefrog-10> Nouse that's what i did 3rd time
[10:08] <ines> how old are you?
[10:08] <budgester> chmod: never used it but you could try firestarter
[10:08] <PR3DLAND> how do i save in VIM?
[10:08] <worthawholebean> where does mysql store db.frm
[10:08] <holycow> hey all
[10:08] <bluefrog-10> how do we change the default apps launched when a cd/dvd is inserted pls?
[10:08] <holycow> anyone have nautilus simply freezy when automounting an ntfs partition from an hd mounted via usb hotplug?
[10:08] <chmod777> what do you mean with firestarter? budgester
[10:08] <ProN00b> MarcN, iptables can log ?
[10:08] <NoUse> PR3DLAND :w

[10:09] <erUSUL> PR3DLAND, :w
[10:09] <PR3DLAND> thanks
[10:09] <NoUse> PR3DLAND you might have an easier time using nano
[10:09] <ines> how old are you?
[10:09] <nosilver4u> PR3DLAND: you really need to do vimtutor before you use vim
[10:09] <VooDoo> or theres another great editor called cream!
[10:09] <PR3DLAND> well the server only had vim
[10:09] <ompaul> ProN00b, you need to look more than that, but to be honest you will see port probes after the event, you will see attempts to hijack your machine as if it was a windows box after the attack, and all the time you are thinking that machine tried to attack you not thinking that really its just a hijacked windows box and the owner does not know, so you need then to complain to their host provider, and after that you need to wonder what ha
[10:09] <ompaul> ppens if you get it wrong - I suggest instead you read Ms Alder et al in a Snort book and then think if it is worth you while spending any more time on it, realizing that if you put an unpatched windows box on the network it most likely will not last an hour
[10:09] <PR3DLAND> this server is setup really odd
[10:09] <iiiears> bluefrog - does the cd player open with each new disk? - it happens here too. - how do we change that?
[10:09] <MarcN> ProN00b: to /var/log/syslog

[10:11] <Zeus> I need some help. My ubuntu box runs fine until i make a new user session. The image gets corrupted. If i return to the first session all gets fine again. Anyone knows how to resolve this problem?
[10:11] <chmod777> budgester, what has firestarter with nessus to do?
[10:11] <trappist> Zeus: define "make a new user session"
[10:11] <ProN00b> ompaul, i am not a fxxing zone alarm noob, i could watch the packets in a most raw form and differentiate dangerous from non dangerous, but i want some easy solution... and yes i want to see windows zombies trying...
[10:11] <bluefrog-10> iiiears, that's what i'd like to know...
[10:11] <chmod777> firestarter is a firewall
[10:11] <NoUse> penguin_ thats all you have to install is nvidia-glx
[10:12] <Zeus> trappist: A new gnome user session!

[10:13] <CaBlGuY> ok, how do I test my sound?
[10:13] <NoUse> penguin_ what makes you say that?
[10:13] <ProN00b> daamn, snort is an idea, thanks, i totally forgot about that, ompaul
[10:13] <iiiears> bluefrog-10, Amaranth - might know how to set up nautilus as the default app for each new CD inserted...
[10:13] <budgester> CaBiGGuy: try playing some music ?

[10:13] <snikker> hi, i've got a problem with "my_prog" init script, someones can help me?
[10:13] <NoUse> bluefrog-10 its under SYstem -> Prefs -> Removable Media
[10:13] <CaBlGuY> budgester,  it freezes every time..
[10:13] <chmod777> sorry I'm really noob on linux, I have do not understand it :-\ need i to install a firewall if i want to use the server and client for nessus on the same box?
[10:13] <worthawholebean> What mySQL command do I need to run to get a db.frm?
[10:13] <ompaul> ProN00b, I could not remember what zone alarm was until now, its a program for a platform I have not run since long before it was coded :)
[10:13] <penguin_> NoUse: no nvidia.ko module to load...
[10:13] <SAM_theman> hahaha look at this
[10:13] <SAM_theman> http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~horkana/junkmail/despair-linux/ubuntu.jpg
[10:14] <MarcN> worthawholebean: what are you trying to do?
[10:14] <erUSUL> !tell CaBlGuY about sound
[10:14] <worthawholebean> get mysql running
[10:14] <Seveas> SAM_theman, that's about a year old...
[10:14] <SAM_theman> lol
[10:14] <bluefrog-10> NoUse, yes ty, the only one i haven't tried of course..
[10:14] <PR3DLAND> worthawholebean: use webmin
[10:14] <NoUse> penguin_ how are you looking for it?
[10:14] <budgester> chmod 777: try apt-get install firestarter have a play and see if it does what you want
[10:14] <Zeus> trappist: do you know how to resolve my problem?
[10:15] <chmod777> budgester: ok i will try
[10:15] <penguin_> NoUse: modprobe, find /lib/modules, ls, dpkg -L - simply looking for it
[10:15] <worthawholebean> PR3DLAND: ty
[10:15] <etsme> hey
[10:15] <NoUse> what did you do after installing nvidia-glx
[10:15] <budgester> chmod 777: if you dont like it apt-get remove firestarter
[10:15] <anto9us> chmod777, nessus doesn't require a firewall to run
[10:15] <PR3DLAND> worthawholebean: have u tried it?
[10:15] <ompaul> Seveas, 50 ways to entice a new user
[10:15] <etsme> i used to connect two modems using two telephone lines to get 112kb connection
[10:15] <MarcN> worthawholebean:  Is the daemon running (ps auwx|grep mysql)?   Can you connect to it with a client like $ mysql mysql -u root -p    or us phpmyadmin?
[10:15] <osfameron> is it important to use firestarter on ubuntu?
[10:15] <etsme> tell me can you do it on linux as well ?
[10:15] <worthawholebean> How do I run webmin?
[10:15] <PR3DLAND> worthawholebean: u can get it thru synaptic
[10:16] <worthawholebean> doone
[10:16] <worthawholebean> how do I runt it
[10:16] <Seveas> ompaul, ?
[10:16] <worthawholebean> and mysql isnt even running yet
[10:16] <Erant> Good evening, if I want to use Ubuntu for devving, which package do I install? Or am I going to have to get all the packages from GCC to libc, to libiberty?
[10:16] <ompaul> Seveas, that pic
[10:16] <Seveas> ah
[10:16] <chmod777> anto9us: what should i do to run the client with graphic interface?
[10:16] <budgester> osfameron: depends on how paranoid you are
[10:16] <snikker> hi, i've got a problem with "my_prog" init script, the script doesn't start at boot, but it run fine if i call the script from the command line, what can i do?
[10:16] <anto9us> chmod777, as I understand it you start the server then connect client to it
[10:17] <osfameron> budgester: fair enough... I think I've heard some people say "You don't need a firewall with Ubuntu"
[10:17] <osfameron> and I was wondering if that was bravado or true
[10:17] <Zeus> I need some help. My ubuntu box runs fine until i make a new gnome user session from my gnome session. The image gets corrupted. If i return to the first session all gets fine again. Anyone knows how to resolve this problem?
[10:17] <budgester> osfameron: run "nmap localhost" and see how many ports you have open, then decide if any of then are exploitable
[10:17] <Stormx2> Is there a music converting app? I need to convert MP4 (AAC) to MP3 or WMA
[10:17] <ompaul> snikker, use full paths for things, you most likely are missing some env vars
[10:17] <osfameron> budgester: that sounds like work :-)
[10:17] <etsme> Help, can I connect to my isp using two modems on separate telephone lines, as i use to did in windows environment, here in linux as well PLZ
[10:17] <erUSUL> Stormx2, cook up a bash script
[10:17] <chmod777> anto9us: I have started the server, also add a user, the problem is i do not know how to start the client :-P
[10:18] <budgester> osfameron: nmap rocks, and you can use it against your other machines as well
[10:18] <snikker> ompaul: i've used a full paths...
[10:18] <Nick_Hill> Stormx2, ffmpeg is a command line util. Supports many audio and video conversions
[10:18] <PR3DLAND> worthawholebean: get webmin
[10:18] <Stormx2> Nick_Hill: Thankyou
[10:18] <osfameron> yeah, I just apt-getted nmap, cool
[10:18] <Stormx2> erUSUL: I can't cook
[10:18] <etsme> Help, can I connect to my isp using two modems on separate telephone lines, as i use to did in windows environment, here in linux as well PLZ
[10:19] <hedonick> osfameron: as long as you don't have a) a lot of open ports and b) don't allow remote log ins it's pretty good... had a load of attacks against my machine (not just ubuntu) for years and never used a firewall
[10:19] <chmod777> budgester: I have installed the firewall
[10:19] <anto9us> chmod777, sorry, I don't know the command I don't use it
[10:19] <PR3DLAND> worthawholebean: then get mysql (thru synaptic)
[10:19] <ompaul> snikker, then I suggest you paste the actual text into paste.ubuntulinux.nl and tell the channel about it with its function and see what comments get passed
[10:19] <budgester> etsme: chmod: try running it. sudo firestarter, and have a play
[10:19] <osfameron> hedonick, budgester I gues the questions is what's "a lot" of open ports
[10:19] <Erant> If I want to use Ubuntu for devving, which package do I install? Or am I going to have to get all the packages from GCC to libc, to libiberty?
[10:19] <sorush20> anyone here has a cannon 3200F scanner that works on linux?
[10:19] <Nick_Hill> etsme, The keyword you need is 'bonded channel'
[10:19] <iiiears> etsme - you might check sourceforge.net
[10:19] <chmod777> anto9us: np thx
[10:19] <worthawholebean> PR3DLAND: I did that
[10:19] <etsme> budgester, thanks
[10:19] <snikker> ompaul: ok, i do it...
[10:19] <worthawholebean> and how is webmin supposed to help me set up mysql?
[10:19] <osfameron> there are ports that I want open (e.g. postgres) locally but not necessarily to the outside world
[10:20] <etsme> cool thanks Nick_Hill , iiiears
[10:20] <ompaul> snikker, tell the channel the URL because if I don't have the answer someone else may take it up
[10:20] <PR3DLAND> worthawholebean: so u got webmin up and running
[10:20] <kyncani> Erant: well, gcc and libc6-dev is a good start i think
[10:20] <worthawholebean> PR3DLAND: Yes.
[10:20] <kyncani> Erant: you could also install build-essential, that will pull gcc, libc6-dev and make
[10:21] <sizzam> i have an app that runs fine from the command line, but when i launch it from a launcher icon, it doesnt read my env stuff in .bashrc correctly
[10:21] <PR3DLAND> worthawholebean:  can u see the Mysql in the server tag
[10:21] <stock> how can i find out what options the program in a .deb was compiled with?
[10:21] <worthawholebean> no
[10:21] <worthawholebean> mysql isn't running!
[10:21] <osfameron> can nmap tell which application is listening at a port?
[10:21] <hedonick> hedonick: only thing I've ever opened up outside is a) http and b) at times ssh (that leads to brute force attacks though)
[10:21] <hedonick> osfameron: yes
[10:21] <Nick_Hill> sorush20, Search for sane and 3200F.
[10:21] <kyncani> sizzam: .bashrc is only read when a *bash* starts
[10:21] <ompaul> osfameron, it can suggest it
[10:21] <PR3DLAND> worthawholebean:
[10:21] <Erant> kyncani: k, weird though, why isn't that included?
[10:21] <PR3DLAND> worthawholebean: you should see the icon atleast
[10:21] <hedonick> osfameron: or rather what that port is supposed to be :)
[10:21] <worthawholebean> the problem is that there is no db.frm
[10:21] <worthawholebean> file
[10:22] <Nick_Hill> sorush20, But I steer clear of cannon, at least with printers, as they refuse to document the protocol.
[10:22] <erUSUL> Stormx2, take a look at this http://pastebin.ubuntulinux.nl/3895 change the comands names to decode mp4 and encde whatever
[10:22] <kyncani> Erant: well, most computer users do not want a c compiler i think
[10:22] <osfameron> ah, I thought on localhost I should be able to tell which process name is listening at a port
[10:22] <TotalNewb> Ok, total newb question. I am currently in the directory root@oldbox:/home/justme # and I need to be in my desktop directory, how do I change directories in the root command prompt?
[10:22] <sizzam> kyncani: do you have a suggestion for how to make a shortcut that will launch the app correctly?
[10:22] <CaBlGuY> ok, so my sound works..  I can play audio CD's but if I try to play an MP3 or stremaing Audio, nothin..  :-/
[10:22] <osfameron> it reports some entries as sometimes-rpc3 etc.
[10:22] <kyncani> sizzam: make a bash script that will launch the app
[10:22] <budgester> osfameron: try telnetting to the port
[10:22] <Chizn> who has managed to install vmware?
[10:22] <NoUse> TotalNewb cd ~yourusername/Desktop
[10:22] <Zeus> I need some help. My ubuntu box runs fine until i make a new gnome user session from my gnome session. The image gets corrupted. If i return to the first session all gets fine again. Anyone knows how to resolve this problem?
[10:23] <PR3DLAND> i have it running
[10:23] <budgester> sometimes that;ll give you the info you require
[10:23] <sizzam> thanks
[10:23] <PR3DLAND> VMware
[10:23] <erUSUL> TotalNewb, cd /dir
[10:23] <Chizn> PR3DLAND, how did you run the configure script after install?
[10:23] <TotalNewb> Cd, I had forgoten all about cd!
[10:23] <budgester> Zeus: we heard you the first time
[10:23] <snikker> ompaul: i've posted it there: "http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3896"
[10:23] <anto9us> Zeus, you mean you start a new nested login?
[10:23] <Nick_Hill> I have run x86 systems in GNU/Linux qith qemu
[10:24] <ompaul> snikker, what did I say last - your telling me, some people will filter on that, I will however look
[10:24] <NoUse> !tell TotalNewb about cli
[10:24] <Nick_Hill> However, without the non-free kernel module. qemu is slow.
[10:24] <kyncani> sizzam: err, make a bash script that will ". $HOME/.bashrc" and then launch the app
[10:24] <Zeus> anto9us: no, i created a new session for another user while mine was open
[10:24] <PR3DLAND> cant remember the exact command
[10:24] <ben_> Hey, if I try to connect to my vpnc server before I have an IP, and then I get an IP and try again it says the local port 500 is already in use
[10:24] <PR3DLAND> but its a .pl script
[10:24] <ben_> and I have to reboot..is there a way to unbind that?  Ive searched man vpnc
[10:24] <Chizn> yea its config-vmware.pl
[10:24] <CaBlGuY> so, any ideas why beep media player would be freezing when I'm able to play Audio CD's??
[10:24] <PR3DLAND> yup thats it
[10:24] <Chizn> but when i run it it says it cant stop vmware and dies
[10:24] <PR3DLAND> thats all i did
[10:24] <Chizn> didnt you have this problem?
[10:25] <PR3DLAND> nope
[10:25] <PR3DLAND> /etc/init.d/vmware status
[10:25] <anto9us> Zeus, that account maybe is corrupted, try again with a new user of a different name
[10:25] <Chizn> the exact command i ran was "sudo perl vmware-config.pl"
[10:25] <greenpenguin13> anyone mind helping sort out a dodgy router?

[10:26] <erUSUL> jorgg, or latex --> dvi --> ps --> pdf
[10:27] <sizzam> kyncani:  apparently fedora automatically sucks in your environment when you click a launcher, is there a way to make ubuntu do this?
[10:27] <Nogimics> Hi, can anyone help me, my system keeps failing when installing ubuntu 5.10. When it gets to installing additional components. nic-modules
[10:27] <greenpenguin13> it thinks it hasnt got any eethernet ports

[10:27] <greenpenguin13> pretty sure
[10:27] <Stormx2> Ack. ffmpeg is a little complex, is there a frontend?
[10:27] <jorgg> erUSUL: what is the purpose with dvi files?
[10:28] <budgester> green: what type of router is it ?
[10:28] <greenpenguin13> belkin 54g wireless / adsl router
[10:28] <budgester> green: and what are you connecting it to
[10:28] <PR3DLAND> hmmmmm
[10:28] <greenpenguin13> wireless bit works, wired bit doesnt
[10:28] <erUSUL> jorgg, it is an ancient file format similar to ps or pdf
[10:28] <xman> GAAK
[10:28] <Stormx2> Media converter? Hmmmmm?
[10:28] <xman> I've been through https://wiki.ubuntu.com//FixVideoResolutionHowto

[10:29] <greenpenguin13> flaran: I just installed Ubuntu yesterday... I'm loving it :D good :D
[10:29] <snikker> ompaul: do you think that this is the cause of my problem?

[10:29] <Chizn> command not found, lol
[10:29] <CaBlGuY> Hmmm   no 1 huh??
[10:29] <Nogimics> Sorry to repeat myself, can anyone help me, my system keeps failing when installing ubuntu 5.10. When it gets to installing additional components. nic-modules
[10:29] <xman> Any X.org experts?
[10:29] <erUSUL> jorgg, you use dvips to --> ps and ps2pdf --> pdf
[10:29] <NoUse> Nogimics did you verify the CD image before you burned it
[10:30] <Nick_Hill> CaBlGuY, Playing CDs doesn't use your sound card's driver
[10:30] <PR3DLAND> try installing it again
[10:30] <Chizn> doesnt seem to be installed properly
[10:30] <PR3DLAND> nope
[10:30] <Nogimics> No I did not verify the image
[10:30] <NoUse> !tell Nogimics about verify
[10:30] <Nogimics> however it was done via bittorrent
[10:30] <CaBlGuY> Nick_Hill,  ok, so what do I need to do to see what's goin on with the media players??
[10:30] <alexissoft> hi
[10:30] <NoUse> Nogimics oh nevermind then
[10:30] <Nick_Hill> CaBlGuY, If the sound card driver is buggy, IRQs messed, this will cause an audio player app to lock.
[10:30] <jorgg> erUSUL: how do i get dvi from the .tex file?
[10:30] <Nogimics> bittorrent has checks everything does it not
[10:30] <greenpenguin13> anyone?
[10:30] <iiiears> xman - if it helps 1280X1024 is set for 60hz here.
[10:30] <CaBlGuY> Nick_Hill,  ok, so how do I fix it??
[10:31] <nalioth> ubotu: tell xman about fixres
[10:31] <Nick_Hill> CaBlGuY, Hmm, I can give an overview..
[10:31] <Nogimics> So anyone got any ideas on what I can do please
[10:31] <NoUse> Nogimics yeah it does, I'm not sure what else could be causing it
[10:31] <Stormx2> Eccck
[10:31] <Chizn> says, previous version detected and died PR3DLAND
[10:31] <erUSUL> jorgg, latex *.tex (with pdflatex *.tex you get the pdf in one go)
[10:31] <Stormx2> must... convert... mp4 to mp3
[10:31] <CaBlGuY> Nick_Hill,  ok, lets talk in #flood
[10:31] <Chizn> argh im stuck in limbooo
[10:31] <iiiears> nalioth - he has been there at least twice
[10:31] <Chizn> what ver did you install?
[10:31] <nalioth> Stormx2: why? install gstreamer0.8-faac and -faad and play them
[10:31] <Licor> anto9us: what the "new user session" does is something similar to "switch user in the windows
[10:32] <_jason> jorgg:  install the tetex packages then use the command  "latex"
[10:32] <jorgg> erUSUL: is latex avaiable in the synaptic packet manager?
[10:32] <jorgg> _jason: okay thanks
[10:32] <Nick_Hill> CaBlGuY, If the channel is too noisy for you, you can /msg me, but this is an ubuntu issue so deserves to be in the channel
[10:32] <PR3DLAND> remove and reinstall
[10:32] <Nogimics> looks like ill have to try another distro
[10:32] <nalioth> xman: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and choose the VESA driver and the resolutions you want (for temporary satisfaction)
[10:32] <CaBlGuY> Nick_Hill,  ok..
[10:32] <Licor> anto9us: but when the system goes to the gdm the image gets corrupted!
[10:32] <Stormx2> nalioth: Problem is, I am putting them onto a player (hardware) which doesn't support mp4
[10:32] <CaBlGuY> Nick_Hill,  what do you need to know??
[10:32] <Chizn> how do i do that?
[10:32] <erUSUL> jorgg, yes check if you got all repos active. the package is tetex
[10:32] <Boobek> bye all
[10:32] <CaBlGuY> Nick_Hill,  well, let me sum it up real quick...
[10:32] <Chizn> is there an uninstall script somewhere?
[10:32] <erUSUL> !tell jorgg about repos
[10:33] <Stormx2> I don't want to reset back to windows just to convert some music :-\
[10:33] <PR3DLAND> dpkg -e
[10:33] <PR3DLAND> dpkg -e "name"
[10:33] <nalioth> Stormx2: why? install gstreamer0.8-faac and -faad and play them
[10:33] <jorgg> erUSUL: okay thanks
[10:33] <CaBlGuY> Nick_Hill,  if I try to play any audio or streaming audio with eather XMMS opr Beep Media playa, it just freezes, Same thing happens with Mplayer..
[10:33] <Stormx2> nalioth: On my fucking mp3 player?
[10:33] <xman> nalioth: Thanks, but I've been through that step multiple times
[10:33] <Chizn> PR3DLAND, where did you get vmware deb?
[10:33] <xman> It doesn't appear to change anything
[10:33] <nalioth> Stormx2: please watch your language in here
[10:34] <anto9us> Licor, did you try with a new user account?
[10:34] <Nick_Hill> CaBlGuY, Linux sound is migrating from one system to another, from OSS to ALSA. Drivers for many sound cards exist as both types. You may be able to install the other type and get your application working
[10:34] <Chizn> i have been working off a tar.gz
[10:34] <Stormx2> nalioth: So read what I am saying
[10:34] <Nick_Hill> CaBlGuY, Makes sense. An audio driver issue.
[10:34] <xman> I've hand edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf, also seemed to have no effect
[10:34] <sunshine82> i am gettin this error when i try and play a dvd Unable to mount the selected volume Error: could not execute pmount what does it mean and how do i fix it so i can use my dvd
[10:34] <xman> Not even new options to select
[10:34] <CaBlGuY> Nick_Hill,  ok, so how do I reinstall the right Audio drivers?
[10:34] <Stormx2> nalioth: I have the right codecs. I can play MP4s just fine! but I need these in Mp3 because my HARDWARE mp3 player only runs em
[10:34] <PR3DLAND> so ur compiling?
[10:35] <Nick_Hill> I will look around the Ubuntu wiki to see if someone has done a write-up on it.
[10:35] <Chizn> not its already compiled
[10:35] <CaBlGuY> Aight..
[10:35] <Chizn> how did you find a deb?
[10:35] <Stormx2> nalioth: Sorry for the language, i just hate when people think I'm stupid or something...
[10:35] <nalioth> Stormx2: open a terminal and type "apt-cache search convert mp3"
[10:35] <Stormx2> nalioth: Thanks.
[10:35] <nalioth> Stormx2: i did not see your whole thread, only your woes at converting mp4
[10:36] <erUSUL> Stormx2, use soundconverter
[10:36] <Licor> anto9us: ok. I'm in gnome with my user. I select the "new user session" from the gnome menu. The system goes to the gdm but the image gets corrupted. If i CTRL + ALT + F? my session the image get ok again!
[10:36] <anto9us> Licor, did you add a new user first?
[10:36] <trappist> Licor: sounds like one of those weird xorg artifacts
[10:37] <erUSUL> Stormx2, or sox
[10:37] <trappist> Licor: do you have compositing enabled in your xorg.conf?
[10:37] <Stormx2> erUSUL: Thankyou. How do I access it, though?
[10:37] <Stormx2> barney@ubuntu:~$ soundconverter
[10:37] <Stormx2> bash: soundconverter: command not found
[10:37] <Stormx2> barney@ubuntu:~$ sound-converter
[10:37] <Stormx2> bash: sound-converter: command not found
[10:37] <Recyclable> hello there
[10:37] <Stormx2> Hi
[10:37] <erUSUL> Stormx2,  install it from repos
[10:38] <Nogimics> Anybody else got any suggestions why installation would fail on nic-modules?
[10:38] <Recyclable> which nvidia driver should i install from these? :/ --> http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[10:38] <trappist> Stormx2: sydi apt-get install soundconverter
[10:38] <Stormx2> trappist: got it ;-)
[10:38] <Recyclable> i'm on a64
[10:38] <Licor> anto9us: yes the system has another user, but even if it didnt, the image should be ok!
[10:38] <anto9us> Nogimics, can you pull the nic and try?
[10:38] <CaBlGuY> Nick_Hill,  I might need some codecs as well..
[10:38] <nitrocks> does anyone have experience with video4linux?.. i'm having trouble installing the cx8800 module properly.  i do 'sudo modprobe cx8800 tuner=43' and i get an error saying that i supplied an illegal argument.  i can do 'sudo modprobe cx8800' and the module installs fine, but then when i do dmesg, im told that the tuner = 1, which isnt the correct card.  any ideas?
[10:38] <bluefrog-10> Recyclable, have u tried nvidia-glx in ubuntu repos?
[10:38] <CaBlGuY> Nick_Hill,  where would I find those at??
[10:39] <Recyclable> bluefrog-10, nope :/
[10:39] <Nogimics> yeah ill take the NIC out and see
[10:39] <Licor> trappist: hmmm good question. I dont think so... where can i see for sure?
[10:39] <Nogimics> but I dont have another spare NIC so if it is that im stuffed
[10:39] <Nick_Hill> CaBlGuY, wiki.ubuntu.com
[10:39] <trappist> nitrocks: I'm not familiar with cx8800 but are you sure 'tuner=' is a valid argument for that module?
[10:39] <Stormx2> erUSUL: Thankyou very much :) It works an absolute treat
[10:39] <PR3DLAND> Chizn: alien
[10:39] <trappist> Licor: grep -i composite /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:39] <Recyclable> bluefrog-10, remind me how the hell to get there again, I've only just got ubuntu working for the first time in months
[10:40] <thrush> someone explain to me why 2^8 in python equals 10..? its sorta ubuntu related..
[10:40] <trappist> nitrocks: in bttv I believe it's 'card='
[10:40] <anto9us> Licor, I agree with trappist, it's the X server that's the problem, do you have another graphic card you can try?
[10:40] <bluefrog-10> Recyclable, apt-get install nvidia-glx
[10:40] <Stormx2> thrush: There might be some kinda SQR function ^_^
[10:40] <Recyclable> bluefrog-10, thanks. will it work for the A64 version?
[10:40] <Licor> trappist: ok. i'm in windows right now. I'll try as soon as i bott in linux.
[10:41] <farruinn> thrush: I don't know why it does that, but you probably want to do: 2**8
[10:41] <trappist> Licor: another possibility is ... do you have an nvidia card?
[10:41] <bluefrog-10> Recyclable, i don't know open synaptic and have a look
[10:41] <Licor> anto9us: this happens in my notebook.
[10:41] <erUSUL> thrush, 2**8
[10:41] <cafuego_> !2**8
[10:41] <ubotu> 256
[10:41] <Licor> trappist: ati radeon 9200
[10:41] <trappist> hah
[10:41] <Recyclable> bluefrog-10, cheers mate :D
[10:41] <Stormx2> Python doesn't beleive in carots!
[10:42] <thrush> ah..ok
[10:42] <cafuego_> Stormx2:  caret
[10:42] <trappist> Licor: I've only seen that on my radeon with compositing enabled.  also do you have the ati binary drivers installed, or the open source ati drivers?
[10:42] <Stormx2> cafuego_: Don't correct me *slap slap*
[10:42] <cafuego_> Stormx2: carrots are orange things that grow underground ;-)
[10:42] <Stormx2> cafuego_: Shh you
[10:42] <Licor> trappist: i installed the last ones from the ati site. I followed the forum guide!
[10:42] <cafuego_> h
[10:43] <Lord_Maynoth> Does anyone know if dapper will autodetect your windows partitions?  (yes I know it can be done via script)
[10:43] <ompaul> snikker, it may be
[10:43] <anto9us> Licor, does the graphics use it's own or system memory? If system memory, can you increase it?
[10:43] <sunshine82> i am gettin this error when i try and play a dvd Unable to mount the selected volume Error: could not execute pmount what does it mean and how do i fix it so i can use my dvd
[10:43] <trappist> Licor: you should try reverting to your original xorg config (because you backed it up per those instructions) and see if you get the same problem
[10:43] <Stormx2> Lord_Maynoth: Nothing is finished yet
[10:43] <yohan> how do i add a program to be run at statup? (using gnome)
[10:43] <pitti> sunshine82: add your user to the "plugdev" group
[10:43] <sunsun> hi how do you get bash to NOT log you out when you hit control-d?
[10:43] <pitti> sunshine82: you can do that in the "users&groups" tool in the menu
[10:44] <cafuego_> yohan: System -> Prefs -> Session; add one.
[10:44] <yohan> i try system->sessions->startup-programs but everytime i restart x its cleared...
[10:44] <Stormx2> !botsnack
[10:44] <ubotu> thanks stormx2 :)
[10:44] <ompaul> cafuego_, wake up where did you get that caret?
[10:44] <yohan> cafuego_: is there anything special i should change before?
[10:44] <erUSUL> sunsun, not possible
[10:44] <Stormx2> GTK2 is uber sexy
[10:44] <Licor> trappist: but isn't strange that the first session is ok?
[10:45] <yohan> should i change the Style?
[10:45] <cafuego_> ompaul: I have this rt tree...
[10:45] <yohan> or order?
[10:45] <sunsun> erUSUL how do you know?
[10:45] <ompaul> cafuego_, can I plant one two?
[10:45] <sunshine82> pitti there is no group called plugdev in user & groups
[10:45] <trappist> Licor: not necessarily.  it could be a driver problem, an xorg composite issue, a framebuffer issue... or something else :)
[10:45] <Lord_Maynoth> whats the dev channel?
[10:45] <whitti> Hey, I'm trying to get VNC running under Breezy. I follow the steps here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=63785&highlight=#2 but continue to get the fixed font error!
[10:45] <PR3DLAND> is there a command to delete a complete directory and subs?
[10:45] <Stormx2> ompaul, cafuego_, you guys are weird
[10:45] <Kyral> rmdir
[10:45] <sunsun> hi how do you get bash to NOT log you out when you hit control-d?
[10:45] <trappist> Licor: I might be able to be more helpful if I knew exactly what "corrupted" meant
[10:46] <cafuego_> ompaul: System - Prefs -> Keyboard; Layout options tab; COmpose key options -> Right alt = compose. Close window.
[10:46] <_willcooke_> pr3dland, rm -rf
[10:46] <ompaul> thanks :-)
[10:46] <cafuego_> ompaul: Now you can hit right alt, then ^, then o.
[10:46] <erUSUL> sunsun, when you hit Crtl-d you are seeing en of file EOF bash will not ignore it. as it will not ignore a STOP with Crtl-C
[10:46] <PR3DLAND> rm -rf "directoryname"
[10:46] <PR3DLAND> ?
[10:46] <Kyral> PR3DLAND, rmdir
[10:46] <Licor> trappist: i think that maybe i deleted the old config because all went well. Just the other day i realised the problem with the new session :(
[10:46] <erUSUL> sunsun, is sort of hardcoded in unix (linux)
[10:46] <_willcooke_> pr3land :) yup, but be careful!!!
[10:47] <johnny_> hi short question(s) - running breezy (fresh install from RC disc) have a radeon 9x00 video card should I install the fglrx packages from synaptic (ubuntu packages)
[10:47] <cafuego_> ompaul: special compose chars are alt+ , " ' / _ *
[10:47] <sunshine82> pitti plugdev is called somethin else when i try to add plugdev it say it already exist
[10:47] <johnny_> fglrx command does not work in bash at the moment
[10:47] <erUSUL> sying no seeing* sorry
[10:47] <sunsun> erUSUL in some shells, i thought bash also, there's a shell option which disables it.  but i cant find it for bash
[10:47] <ompaul> cafuego_, thank you
[10:47] <pitti> sunshine82: what's the output of 'id' for you?
[10:47] <Licor> trappist: it seems that the image gets strached
[10:47] <PR3DLAND> i'm about to delete the /var/spool/squid
[10:47] <cafuego_> nd oh, for C you have alt-caret-0
[10:47] <ompaul> Stormx2, no not wierd, just misunderstood
[10:47] <Kyral> uhhh
[10:48] <johnny_> second question can I fool driver to believe my 9500 is a 9700 - softmod worked fine in XP without any checkers or other artifacts
[10:48] <sunshine82> pitti do iput that in the terminal
[10:48] <cafuego_> ompaul: and ~ too (for )
[10:48] <_willcooke_> pr3dland, should be fine, you might need to prefix the command with "sudo"
[10:48] <sunshine82> pitti uid=1000(sunshine) gid=1000(sunshine) groups=29(audio),109(admin),1000(sunshine)
[10:48] <Stormx2> ompaul: bahahaha
[10:48] <Licor> trappist: but the image doesn't stay "understandable"
[10:48] <cafuego_> Stormx2: Not misunderstood, just plain weird.
[10:48] <PR3DLAND> i already eneabled my su
[10:48] <Chizn> how come when i "sudo alien -i" something i get permission problems?
[10:49] <PR3DLAND> i hate the constant su ......
[10:49] <pitti> sunshine82: yes, just add you
[10:49] <PR3DLAND> nope
[10:49] <pitti> sunshine82: sudo adduser sunshine plugdev
[10:49] <erUSUL> sunsun, you were right define IGNOREEOF
[10:49] <erUSUL>  in youre env
[10:49] <cafuego_> PR3DLAND: 'sudo -i' give you a permanent root shell.
[10:49] <pitti> sunshine82: that's the command line method of doing this
[10:49] <NoUse> Chizn run it with sudo
[10:49] <PR3DLAND> ahhh
[10:49] <_willcooke_> pr3dland, sudo bash - then you have a su'd prompt until you crtl-d it
[10:49] <PR3DLAND> kewl
[10:49] <pitti> sunshine82: but the gnome tool does the same
[10:49] <ompaul> cafuego_ thank you very much, have a coffee
[10:49] <yohan> i try to add programs under Startup Programs but whenever I press close it doesnt get saved....any ideas anyone?
[10:49] <trappist> set -o ignoreeof
[10:49] <cafuego_> ompaul: What an EXPRESSO idea.
[10:49] <foampeace> hello

[10:53] <NoUse> !tell _kriss about repos
[10:53] <Licor> trappist: did you understand how the image stays?
[10:53] <godlike> look up unoffical ubuntu guide it has a section on nvidia
[10:54] <iamsthitha> thanks
[10:54] <godlike> np
[10:54] <ompaul> iamsthitha, lots of urls from ubotu gone your wat
[10:54] <ompaul> iamsthitha, lots of urls from ubotu gone your way
[10:54] <trappist> Licor: sort of.  I guess I'd have to see it.  it sounds a little like an nvidia framebuffer issue I used to have, but afaik ati cards don't have that problem.
[10:54] <PR3DLAND> <-- been using ubuntu since warty
[10:54] <Licor> trappist: LOL
[10:55] <Licor> trappist: :(
[10:55] <godlike> does anyone know how i can change a virtual server in apache from www-dat to a user?
[10:55] <trappist> Licor: so that narrows it down to an xorg composite issue or a driver issue, probably.
[10:55] <foampeace> kde is trash
[10:55] <_kriss> NoUse: I uncomented the de... repos but it didn't worked

[10:59] <iamsthitha> I installed the nvidia drivers
[10:59] <iamsthitha> but my dual mon doesnt get enabled
[10:59] <trappist> sunshine82: examine your question and see if you can provide any additional useful information rather than repeating yourself every few seconds.
[10:59] <davidleeroth> can anyone help me with my clock problems?
[10:59] <Delvien> robotgeek ok lemme try
[10:59] <erisco> what is the command to isntall a .deb package?

[11:00] <_native_> having issuses with a usb floppy drive it has been working but today it has stopped functioning properly. i cant cant format it, i get a "no write" "permission denied"  so why have the permissions changed?
[11:00] <robotgeek> Delvien: sudo apt-get install amarok-engines
[11:00] <davidleeroth> can anyone help me with my clock problems?
[11:00] <iamsthitha> TotalNewb, um.. ok
[11:00] <mindspore> How can I encrypt my swap partition?
[11:00] <rohal> can i recover deleted fat32 files from linux??
[11:01] <enyc> mind: err that seems odd...
[11:01] <TotalNewb> I have an easy problem... I seem to have lost firefox. Anyone know what the default directory for the included software is?
[11:01] <psycose> Well i've install the imagemagick package (Image manipulation tools) it should provid me some shell command like : display convert import animate combine and some more, but combine command is missing ... any tips ? thanks (Ubuntu Breezy/i386)
[11:01] <_kriss> nouse: after a fresh install of kubuntu breezy i got this line in my sources.list "# deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe" ... i read somewhere that i have to uncomment this line, but synaptic apt-get update didn't work ...
[11:01] <Licor> trappist: thank you for your help!
[11:02] <iiiears> mindspore - use ram for swapspace posibly?
[11:02] <davidleeroth> plz help me! this clock pisses me off!
[11:02] <jorgg> any nice editor with syntax highlightning? does gedit support that?
[11:02] <iiiears> lol - no way to do it is there?
[11:02] <rohal> can i recover deleted fat32 files from linux??
[11:02] <robotgeek> jorgg: gedit does, i am vim user though
[11:02] <_native_> this seems to be happening alot e.g. things changing and breaking somthing. i must have stability!
[11:02] <trappist> mindspore: afaik you can't, and there's not much point anyway
[11:02] <davidleeroth> pico > all
[11:03] <jorgg> robotgeek: but is vim only in konsole or in gnome too?
[11:03] <Amaranth> _native_: stick to the non-devel version of ubuntu and nothing will change
[11:03] <Chizn> rohal, probably not
[11:03] <Amaranth> _native_: until you upgrade, of course
[11:03] <erUSUL> jorgg, emacs with AucTeX
[11:03] <chmod777> I have searched for vim, and found Cream, is this the right editor for php and c++?
[11:03] <coolkev> why did the ubuntu developers change of the things from hoary int eh gnome menu, like the Run Application button is not there anymore instead i see a useless add application button, and also the terminal is located in Accessories instead of System Tools
[11:03] <kemik> jorgg: gnome-vim
[11:03] <jorgg> robotgeek: i've head about emacs, any suggestion?
[11:03] <mindspore> trappist, nah.. you can do it with dm-crypt, or anything else.. but i can't get cryptsetup to behave right in ubuntu
[11:03] <davidleeroth> robotgeek lol
[11:03] <Chizn> possible, not probable
[11:03] <kemik> jorgg: avoid emacs at all cost
[11:03] <kemik> !start an editor war
[11:03] <ubotu> gvim is better than xemacs
[11:03] <_native_> im using breezy
[11:03] <rohal> Chizn: because it is a windows file system or some other reason??
[11:04] <mindspore> trappist, and there is a point as say your CC# is in the swap... that's no good
[11:04] <coolkev> also also when i right click on the desktop in haory i was presented witha menu in which there was a button ot open terminal
[11:04] <cafuego_> jorgg: apart from "Avaunt, ye faithless" ?
[11:04] <jorgg> erUSUL: hehe.. okay thanks you raed my thoughts
[11:04] <coolkev> that is no longer present in breezy
[11:04] <davidleeroth> !start an editor war
[11:04] <Chizn> the reason of probability
[11:04] <robotgeek> jorgg: you are asking the wrong person if you want tips about emacs! try installing gvim, which is a gui version of vim
[11:04] <_native_> thats a stable release isnt it?
[11:04] <Chizn> the fact it is a windows fs, doesnt really change much
[11:04] <Amaranth> coolkev: Run Applications was removed by GNOME, not Ubuntu. You can still get to it with Alt-F2. Terminal was moved because we want to get rid of the System Tools menu completely and that was a step along the journey.
[11:04] <Chizn> im sure there are apps out there for it, but i know not of any
[11:04] <gabuda> can someone help me ?? how do i play my mp3 on ubuntu ?
[11:04] <Amaranth> coolkev: Install nautilus-open-terminal.
[11:04] <trappist> mindspore: only root should be able to read your swap, and if an attacker is root, he can get the key from the system memory and you're SOL anyway.
[11:04] <kemik> davidleeroth: dont abuse poor ubotu :P
[11:04] <bimberi> ubotu tell coolkev about terminal
[11:04] <davidleeroth> i have a clock problem... my clock is wayyy too fast. There are around 5 seconds on the clock for every 1 second. this makes animated gifs and the cursor blink verry fast.  I have ntp server software and i have even booted with no lacpi.  this option worked, but it turned off my wireless nic (i could not access the net).  HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[11:04] <Amaranth> !mp3
[11:04] <ubotu> it has been said that mp3 is a non-free format. Restricted formats' installation instructions can be found on the RestrictedFormats page of the wiki - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats - click away:)
[11:04] <robotgeek> !tell gabuda about mp3
[11:04] <Quest-Master> Are the US Ubuntu servers down?
[11:04] <sunshine82> trappist the error is Unable to mount the selected volume.Error: could not execute pmount i addmyself to plugdev but im still gettin error i dont know what else i can give u am newish to ubuntu
[11:05] <Amaranth> Quest-Master: Last I heard they were broken.
[11:05] <coolkev> thanks
[11:05] <Delvien> isnt there a updated version of amaroK
[11:05] <mindspore> trappist, I'm concerned more about physical access.. not remote users
[11:05] <whitti> Hey, I'm trying to get VNC running under Breezy. I follow the steps here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=63785&highlight=#2 but continue to get the fixed font error
[11:05] <robotgeek> Delvien: nope, 1.3.1 is what is on breezy
[11:05] <pitti> sunshine82: oh, sorry, you have to logout and back in to make the change effective
[11:05] <Quest-Master> Amaranth, yeah. Which ones can I link to instead?
[11:05] <cafuego_> davidleeroth: like bob2 said yesterday, look into the 'high performance timer' posts on lkml.
[11:05] <coolkev> i kept making new folder thinkin i was open terminal
[11:05] <coolkev> i was so used to hoary
[11:05] <trappist> sunshine82: I appreciate the effort - what I was looking for was how you're trying to play a dvd.  with what app.
[11:05] <Amaranth> Quest-Master: archive.ubuntu.com
[11:05] <coolkev> used it for 7 months
[11:06] <robotgeek> coolkev: sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal
[11:06] <NoUse> _kriss if you could be more specific than "didn't work", could you pastebin the output?
[11:06] <coolkev> ye i'm getting it now
[11:06] <johnny_> sorry to ask again but am pretty clueless **hi short question(s) - running breezy (fresh install from RC disc) have a radeon 9x00 video card should I install the fglrx packages from synaptic (ubuntu packages)
[11:06] <johnny_> fglrx command does not work in bash at the moment
[11:06] <johnny_> *second question can I fool driver to believe my 9500 is a 9700 - softmod worked fine in XP without any checkers or other artifacts
[11:06] <cafuego_> whitti: Check what the error says about the locations of fonts. You need toe dit the vncserver file and point it at the correct font directory.
[11:06] <coolkev> i have to add the canadian ubuntu repos for breezy
[11:06] <Amaranth> coolkev: I believe that was seperated in GNOME too. The new one works better though.
[11:07] <coolkev> do i have to restart nautilus for the right click terminal thingy to work?
[11:07] <nick01> does ubuntu have enlightenment 17 ?
[11:07] <_kriss> NoUse it's more a generic question ... what means the universe or multiverse stuff ??
[11:07] <coolkev> nick01 you can get it
[11:07] <Delvien> how do i reinstall gstreamer
[11:07] <nick01> coolkev: already configured with menus and links ?
[11:07] <trappist> Delvien: apt-get install --reinstall <package>
[11:08] <coolkev> nick01 there is a how to i remember on ubuntuforums.org for hoary not ure if there's one for breezy
[11:08] <Quest-Master> Hmm
[11:08] <erUSUL> _kriss, this are packages taken from debian without much testing and repackaged for use with ubuntu
[11:08] <Delvien> gstreamer-0.8?
[11:08] <Quest-Master> Which server can I use for backports?
[11:08] <coolkev> nick01 i believe it uses gnome with e17
[11:08] <davidleeroth> cafuego, his sugesstion worked, but it screwed up my wireless nic
[11:08] <whitti> cafuego_: VNC originally had it at /usr/share/X11/fonts . I linked the old location to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
[11:08] <whitti> , where I gather it should be? Is editing of the vncserver necessary?
[11:08] <osh> I have a question about LVM. My lvm management tool (evms) reports that the kernel sees one disk as having 16 heads while the partition records sais it's 255.  Can anyone explain this?
[11:08] <kemik> Delvien: probably gstreamer0.8-XXXXX
[11:08] <robotgeek> Quest-Master: there are no breezy backports
[11:08] <TotalNewb> Is there a search function that will let you search for a file in Hoary Hedgehog?
[11:09] <NoUse> _kriss its the repository that contains the software you want
[11:09] <Stormx2> THREE CHEERS FOR UBUNTU BREEZY BADGER!
[11:09] <Quest-Master> robotgeek, aha.
[11:09] <Stormx2> hip-hip!
[11:09] <kemik> TotalNewb: locate
[11:09] <_kriss> nouse and why is umbrello not in the kde packages included ?? it is an essential ... or not ??
[11:09] <Delph> hi, could anyone tell me why ubuntu installs gcc, but there's nothing in /usr/include (header files and so on) -- This was doing a standard breezy badger full install.
[11:09] <coolkev> totalNewb yes there
[11:09] <kemik> TotalNewb: use "sudo updatedb" to update it
[11:09] <nalioth> Delph: install "build-essential"
[11:09] <kemik> or "whereis"
[11:09] <NoUse> _kriss its not in the install image, its not essential
[11:09] <cafuego_> davidleeroth: Until the kernel is fixed wrt to that timer, I reckon that's your only option.
[11:09] <whitti> cafuego_: I guess I was meant to run vncserver instead of Xvnc. Thanks for the indirect help! It seems to be working.
[11:09] <coolkev> totalnewb goto Places on the top if your on ubuntu gnome and then select Search for files
[11:10] <cafuego_> whitti: cool :-)
[11:10] <Chizn> PR3DLAND, what did you do after installing the DEB of vmware?
[11:10] <_kriss> nouse ok i'll give a try .. thanks a lot ;)
[11:10] <NoUse> _kriss sure
[11:10] <Stormx2> Chizn: apt get install vmware?
[11:10] <Stormx2> Chizn: or you can use dpkg -i something.deb
[11:10] <Chizn> no
[11:10] <Delph> nalioth: thanks.. the thing is that gcc comes with it out of the box, with the simple install.
[11:10] <Chizn> oh, right yea i already did that, whats next?
[11:10] <Chizn> lol
[11:10] <Chizn> it says something about install.sh?
[11:10] <Delph> was just wondering if there's a reason that you get gcc but not the headers with the default install
[11:10] <_native_> i dont want to ditch ubuntu but i cant get work done on account that things break too often and i find my self fixing the same things more than once.
[11:11] <PR3DLAND> Chizn: i called the app
[11:11] <cafuego_> Delph: No, gcc is not istalled by default.
[11:11] <whitti> cafuego_: How do I get vnc-java to work, now?
[11:11] <cafuego_> whitti: No idea...
[11:11] <cevizoglu> how do you make the terminal start with the menubar hidden?
[11:11] <Delph> cafuego_: hmm.
[11:11] <Delph> cafuego_: .oO( can i be bothered to install it again again ?)
[11:11] <robotgeek> cevizoglu: i use devilspie to do all that :)
[11:11] <eventual1uddha> how do i configure logrotate to rotate the logs in a directory?
[11:11] <xzy2ob> i just installed ubuntu and didnt get any choice during installation to set my root passwd? what can it be?
[11:11] <whitti> cafuego_: I'll google it..
[11:11] <ubuntunewbie> hi
[11:11] <cafuego_> Delph: 'build-essential' is your friend ;-)
[11:11] <ubuntunewbie> what the FUCK?
[11:11] <Stormx2> xzy2ob: no root
[11:12] <Stormx2> !tell xzy2ob about root
[11:12] <ubuntunewbie> where is root in ubuntu O_o ?
[11:12] <robotgeek> ubuntunewbie: language
[11:12] <cafuego_> !root
[11:12] <ubotu> root is probably disabled in Ubuntu, you can read all about it on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo
[11:12] <nalioth> Delph: ubuntu is aimed at users, not developers ootb
[11:12] <Delph> cafuego_: yeah, i've sorted it all out.
[11:12] <osh> Does this make sense? http://pastebin.com/412657
[11:12] <Chizn> PR3DLAND, it says its installed but i need to configure it, when i sudo configure it says it doesnt have permission to shut down the service
[11:12] <cevizoglu> robotgeek, sweet
[11:12] <nalioth> ubotu: tell ubuntunewbie about root
[11:12] <erUSUL> !tell xzy2ob about sudo
[11:12] <Chizn> ..again
[11:12] <ubuntunewbie> Im C++ devel, should I deinstall ubuntu ;) ?
[11:12] <Stormx2> erUSUL: just done that ^_^
[11:12] <sampo_v2> what is "universe"? is it a common repository which isn't enabled by default?
[11:12] <Delph> i was just wondering how i managed to get a gcc without the headers (before installing them)
[11:12] <sunshine82> pitti im gettin this error now Failed to play Audio/Video Disc Failed to open device /dev/hdd for reading: Permission denied this is in totem
[11:12] <xzy2ob> erUSUL: still, i need the root passwd?
[11:12] <nalioth> ubotu: no, you should install "build-essential"
[11:12] <ubotu> nalioth: Are you on ritalin?
[11:12] <bimberi> cevizoglu: gnome-terminal --hide-menubar
[11:12] <robotgeek> cevizoglu: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75749 is a nice tutorial
[11:12] <erUSUL> xzy2ob, no
[11:13] <jasonb> hi i installed ubuntu 5.04 in my other computer with the network cable unplugged so im expecting its networking components to be not installed (and ive confirmed this). how do i install the networking components to a fresh installed ubuntu? thanks
[11:13] <cafuego_> ubuntunewbie: If you hink that makes you write better code, sure. I'd personally suggest picking a real langauage <heh>
[11:13] <Delph> ah well, eternal mystery.
[11:13] <nalioth> ubuntunewbie: no, you should install "build-essential"
[11:13] <pitti> sunshine82: ah, you also need to be in "cdrom"
[11:13] <ubuntunewbie> tell me about root
[11:13] <robotgeek> !tell ubuntunewbie about root
[11:13] <Stormx2> jasonb: System > Adminstration > Networking
[11:13] <nalioth> ubuntunewbie: check your priv msgs

[11:13] <ubuntunewbie> nalioth, ok
[11:13] <osh> !tell osh about root
[11:13] <sunshine82> pitti i dont know
[11:13] <Delvien> robotgeek any idea how to do the FADE OUT on xine engine
[11:14] <_native_> ok i have started with the basics and checked the permissions given to my user in the gnome users and groups app. i have access to floppy devs.
[11:14] <robotgeek> Delvien: it just works ootb for me
[11:14] <nuck> Stormx2 yes i tried but can you point out what needs to be filled out? thanks
[11:14] <pitti> sunshine82: you should be in audio, video, plugdev, scanner, lpadmin, dialout, adm, floppy, and admin
[11:14] <ubuntunewbie> hmmm
[11:14] <cafuego_> pitti: I noticed that a hoary -> breezy update on my Mac in fact removed the admin group and left me with no way of running 'sudo'.
[11:14] <pitti> sunshine82: i. e. just select the "Administrator" profile in the user admin tool
[11:14] <ubuntunewbie> Im user of Hoary Breezy or other?
[11:14] <nuck> Stormx2 in networking
[11:14] <xzy2ob> i am used to root access, cant i enable it ?

[11:15] <PR3DLAND> Chizn: try to halt it
[11:15] <_native_> based on what is checked in that app.
[11:15] <erUSUL> xzy2ob, you should not
[11:15] <ubuntunewbie> how can I create user foo with uid=gid=1337 ?
[11:15] <Chizn> it says command not found again
[11:15] <rony> hi all
[11:15] <pitti> cafuego_: reproducibly?
[11:15] <robotgeek> Delvien: try killall amarokapp and then launch amarok again
[11:15] <Delvien> robotgeek i know its a small thing, but i loved the fade out
[11:15] <ubuntunewbie> and also create group bar with gid=6666 and put user foo in it?

[11:16] <robotgeek> Delvien: in a terminal, 'killall amarokapp'. if that doesn't work, amarok is dead :)

[11:17] <private_meta> i've got a system with winxp, and i installed ubuntu 5.10 on another partition. i configured everything, installed some stuff... then i wanted to boot windows... had to boot with secure mode, then normally... worked right... after that ubuntu wasn't able to boot anymore
[11:17] <robotgeek> ubuntunewbie: /topic
[11:17] <kemik> ubuntunewbie: read topic about upgrading to breezy
[11:17] <Delvien> robotgeek i used to be able to run amarok by amarokapp, is that still valid? it says no such command
[11:17] <cafuego_> ubuntunewbie: See item #2 in the /topic :-)
[11:17] <robotgeek> Delvien: did u uninstall it?
[11:17] <nick01> if I install ubuntu on a laptop will it work out of the box with the pcmcia network card ?
[11:17] <Delvien> robotgeek idont know
[11:18] <cafuego_> nick01: Depends, what card is it?
[11:18] <robotgeek> Delvien: just go ahead and install amarok again!
[11:18] <ubuntunewbie> ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version.   .... wtf? I do jave 5.04
[11:18] <nick01> cafuego: can't remember - haven't used it in a while
[11:18] <kemik> _native_: debian stable? 2.4 kernel eh ?
[11:18] <ubuntunewbie> 5.04 amd64 to be exacly
[11:18] <nuck> hi say i use synaptic to install some package where do i find the .deb (or whatever extension it is) files of the newly instaled package so that i can reinstall it in another machine without havng to donwload from the internet again? thanks
[11:18] <nick01> cafuego: not wireless
[11:18] <robotgeek> ubuntunewbie: please mind your language
[11:18] <cafuego_> kemik: Debian stable (sarge) uses 2.6.8.
[11:18] <Chizn> PR3DLAND, when i try to stop the service without sudo it says permission denied, when i do it with sudo, it says command not found?
[11:18] <erUSUL> private_meta, why have you to boot in secure mode??
[11:18] <Chizn> anyone understand this?
[11:18] <ubuntunewbie> robotgeek, what is bad in "what the foo?"
[11:18] <xzy2ob> i tried sudo passwd root . but nothing happends.
[11:18] <cafuego_> nick01: Ah ok, 99% sure it'll just work, then.
[11:18] <nuck> !help
[11:19] <nuck> hi say i use synaptic to install some package where do i find the .deb (or whatever extension it is) files of the newly instaled package so that i can reinstall it in another machine without havng to donwload from the internet again? thanks
[11:19] <NoUse> nuck /var/cache/apt/archives
[11:19] <kemik> nuck: var/cache/apt/
[11:19] <BooZee> who do I display the groups on my machine?
[11:19] <robotgeek> ubuntunewbie: we try to keep #ubuntu rated for kids too :)
[11:19] <private_meta> erUSUL i had to boot windows once in secure mode... after that i didn't have anymoire
[11:19] <ubuntunewbie> xzy2ob, written that in terminal and? copy/paste 2-3 lines
[11:19] <private_meta> i don't know why
[11:19] <nalioth> ubuntunewbie: today being halloween, you are doing a very good troll impression
[11:19] <Stormx2> Operation hack-school-network-and-install-ubuntu has been a success!
[11:19] <kemik> cafuego: what? they do?
[11:19] <edddi3> Where can I find a changelog of the latest Ubuntu version?
[11:19] <erUSUL> private_meta, you do not have anymoare what?
[11:19] <edddi3> haha nalioth.
[11:19] <cafuego_> kemik: Yep
[11:19] <nick01> cafuego: I'll do a install with only icewm or something- it will still just work without me having to configure it ?
[11:19] <private_meta> ...
[11:19] <erUSUL> private_meta, grub? win? ubuntu?
[11:19] <ubuntunewbie> robotgeek, bah, all kids know "this" already ;)
[11:19] <xzy2ob> ubuntunewbie: wrote it in console outside of x.
[11:19] <johnny_> oh man I will just try on mine, at least wish me luck....
[11:19] <_native_> kemik, its better than spending this much time tryin to fix sh*t that was workin yesterday.
[11:20] <cafuego_> nick01: It should just dhcp and work, yep. Mine did :-)
[11:20] <private_meta> i try to load ubuntu via grup what doesn't work anymore
[11:20] <BooZee> who do I display the groups on my machine?
[11:20] <Delvien> robotgeek with xine hitting next, loads the song really fast gstreamer was kinda slow
[11:20] <nalioth> ubotu: tell ubuntunewbie about conduct
[11:20] <private_meta> after i once started winxp
[11:20] <ubuntunewbie> nagual, huh?
[11:20] <nick01> cafuego: tks
[11:20] <private_meta> *grub
[11:20] <kemik> _native_: what's not working ?  and by "worked yesterday" do you mean it worked in debian or ubuntu ?
[11:20] <erUSUL> BooZee, cat /etc/groups
[11:20] <cafuego_> nick01: In fact with a supported wifi card it just aks for a wep key and then just works :-)
[11:20] <robotgeek> Delvien: yeah, i prefer the xine engine myself. very nice
[11:20] <nuck> last question for now.  i have a dual boot (XP/Ubuntu5.04) system and i made a partition filesystem so that i can share files between the 2 OS.  it is showing in XP but not in Ubuntu how do i make it visible? thanks
[11:20] <Delvien> robotgeek but yours fades out when you hit stop?
[11:20] <xzy2ob> i realy need normal root access on my computer.
[11:20] <Stormx2> nuck: From XP, you can't see ubuntu files
[11:20] <thrush> BooZee: 'groups'?
[11:21] <bimberi> BooZee: System -> Admin -> Users & Groups
[11:21] <cafuego_> xzy2ob: There's a difference between thinking you do and actually doing.
[11:21] <_native_> kemik, im in breezy and my usb floppy takes 20min to access a floppy and then i cant ormat and write to it.
[11:21] <NoUse> nuck you have to mount the drive
[11:21] <robotgeek> Delvien: i don't have crossfade set, i like my songs to go without any gaps. floyd listener :)
[11:21] <erUSUL> private_meta, boot with a liveCD (of ubuntu) and do a chroot then reinstall grub
[11:21] <Stormx2> nuck: You should consider creating a "share" partition (FAT) to share between the two
[11:21] <_native_> *format
[11:21] <nitrocks> will upgrading to breezy also upgrade my kernel?
[11:21] <private_meta> erUSUL grub works afaik... the problem is the boot of ubuntu itself
[11:21] <NoUse> !tell nuck about windowsdrives
[11:21] <cafuego_> Stormx2: XP cna just read from/write to ext2 and ext3.
[11:21] <mertl> hi! my question: how can I make my ubuntu use gcc-3.4? it's always trying to use the latest version.
[11:21] <Delvien> robotgeek hehe me too ! got another brick on now
[11:21] <private_meta> it starts the boot
[11:21] <Chizn> is there a GUI that shows you all of the services running and lets you stop and start them?
[11:21] <private_meta> but breaks it up again
[11:22] <Stormx2> cafuego_: not without appys
[11:22] <erUSUL> private_meta, what are the errors?
[11:22] <private_meta> erUSUL there are no errors...
[11:22] <private_meta> not any shown
[11:22] <cafuego_> nuck: Go to ext2fsd.sourceforge.net for a Windows tool to mount and access ext2 and ext3 drives
[11:22] <private_meta> it just... breaks up with booting
[11:22] <cafuego_> Stormx2: So?
[11:22] <ubuntunewbie> Through Synaptic Package Manager    1.Open up Synaptic Package Manager    2. Change your repositories to look for Breezy <--- how exacly do I do that?
[11:22] <kemik> _native_: ah , that would suck... but floppies? though usb-stick memory would be a better choice :)
[11:22] <xzy2ob> sorted it out, thanks guys
[11:22] <puff> Can anybody recommend a good, private use proxy serv?ER
[11:22] <moogman> Hey. My mate has just screwed up his GRUB. Isn't there a rescue mode/single user mode on a standard Ubuntu 5.10 install disk?
[11:22] <kemik> _native_: it's not a hotplug issue?
[11:22] <_native_> kemik, i get permission denied i dont have write perms to fd0 of floppy0.
[11:22] <nalioth> mertl: in your console (for temporary use) type "export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4"  for permantent use, add that line to your ~/.bashrc
[11:22] <robotgeek> Delvien: nope, the fade to stop doesn't work
[11:22] <erUSUL> private_meta, win should not have touched your linux partitions is weird
[11:23] <robotgeek> Delvien: try asking in #amarok
[11:23] <sbartleylinux> Can someone tell me how to create a system boot floppy for my Ubuntu Breezy system?  I want to play with kickstart but can't find an easy way to create the bootable disk to copy the ks.cfg file to.
[11:23] <kemik> _native_: mounted as root ?
[11:23] <ubuntunewbie> should I edit /etc/apt/sources.list?
[11:23] <mertl> thanks nalioth
[11:23] <cafuego_> moogman: afaik, yes
[11:23] <Stormx2> cafuego_: Easier just to have a share partion which can be a drive letter under windows, for drag & drop & accessibility
[11:23] <trappist> last gui 1
[11:23] <trappist> oops
[11:23] <nick01> cafuego: is there some meta package for the devel tools or something to install gcc and stuff ?
[11:23] <puff> Basically I want something I can install on my colocated box, that I can use to surf privately when I'm on wireless.
[11:23] <_native_> kemik, its probably an easy fix but why are things changing on their own.
[11:23] <cafuego_> Stormx2: Yes, that's what ext3fsd does.
[11:23] <cafuego_> s/3/2
[11:23] <private_meta> erUSUL i know it shouldn't... and i doubt it had... but you can never trust windows...
[11:23] <cafuego_> nick01: 'build-essential'.
[11:23] <kemik> _native_: things probably are not changing on their own :|
[11:23] <private_meta> i just need a way to do something about htat
[11:23] <thirso> is there a software similar to WinRAR that would extract those split rar(r00,r01,etc..) ?
[11:23] <robotgeek> nick01: build-essential
[11:23] <ompaul> nick01, install build-essential
[11:23] <kemik> they seldom do
[11:23] <robotgeek> thirso: unrar
[11:23] <nick01> tks
[11:23] <nalioth> thirso: unrar-nonfree
[11:24] <erUSUL> private_meta, well whithout any clue of what is broken i can not help. boot with a livecd and take a look at the partition with ubuntu for any clue
[11:24] <ubuntunewbie> I must say
[11:24] <Stormx2> Beep media player is scratching my MP3s
[11:24] <kemik> !openssl
[11:24] <ubotu> kemik: Do they come in packets of five?
[11:24] <kemik> !ssl
[11:24] <ubotu> Not a clue, kemik
[11:24] <ubuntunewbie> ubuntu is quite impressive!
[11:24] <_native_> well i sure didnt go poking around with /dev/ permissions
[11:24] <trappist> Chizn: services-admin
[11:24] <Chizn> how do i stop services manually, would it be "/etc/init.d/service stop"?
[11:24] <ubuntunewbie> I think I will install it for my girlfriend as well
[11:24] <NoUse> ubuntunewbie have you read the wiki instructions?
[11:24] <robotgeek> Chizn: yup
[11:24] <cafuego_> Chizn: yep
[11:24] <ubuntunewbie> NoUse, nah, I just changed sources.list s/horay/breezy/g and restarted synaptics
[11:24] <nuck> cafuego_ kemik Stormx2 NoUse i used partition magic in XP to create a FAT32 partition is that how its should be done?
[11:24] <nick01> cafuego: is build-essential on the cd ?
[11:24] <bob2> Chizn: with sudo in front, yes
[11:24] <cafuego_> ugh, cat fart
[11:24] <robotgeek> bob2: :)
[11:24] <cafuego_> nick01: Hmm, dunno...
[11:24] <Chizn> why doesnt it let me stop a service then?
[11:24] <bimberi> nick01: yes
[11:24] <nalioth> nick01: it is, yes
[11:24] <kemik> _native_: well, hard to tell what's wrong from a distance...
[11:25] <thirso> robotgeek: any dif between free and nonfree?
[11:25] <NoUse> ubuntunewbie that should work
[11:25] <nick01> tks
[11:25] <moogman> cafuego: Ok... Do you know what it is? :)
[11:25] <Chizn> i tried it with sudo also bob2
[11:25] <ompaul> ubuntunewbie, apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:25] <iiiears> nuck -qtparted, gpart
[11:25] <robotgeek> thirso: non-free is 'better'
[11:25] <Stormx2> nuck: In my opinion, ya. To share stuff between windows and ubuntu
[11:25] <cafuego_> moogman: fermented fish heads
[11:25] <bob2> Chizn: and the service is...?
[11:25] <Chizn> vmware
[11:25] <Chizn> /etc/init.d/vmware
[11:26] <bob2> and the error you get is...
[11:26] <ubuntunewbie> Need to get 471MB of archives. <-- woah!
[11:26] <Chizn> it says, command not found
[11:26] <cafuego_> moogman: Oh, the rescue. Type 'rescue' at the cd boot prompt. If that fails, 'linux root=/dev/<root partition> ro single'
[11:26] <Stormx2> what is vmware>
[11:26] <private_meta>  <erUSUL> private_meta, well whithout any clue of what is broken i can not help. boot with a livecd and take a look at the partition with ubuntu for any clue <-- can i do that if i have ubuntu 5.4 live and 5.10 installed?
[11:26] <Chizn> but when i dont use sudo, it says permission denied
[11:26] <sbartleylinux> Can someone tell me how to create a system boot floppy for my Ubuntu Breezy system?  I want to play with kickstart but can't find an easy way to create the bootable disk to copy the ks.cfg file to.
[11:26] <mertl> nalioth. CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4 | gcc --version says version is 4.0. what can I do?
[11:26] <moogman> cafuego: Hmm. I like the fermented fish heads idea better.
[11:26] <erUSUL> private_meta, yes
[11:26] <Chizn> Stormx2, it is a Virtual Machine Emulator
[11:26] <robotgeek> Chizn: you need to be root to start/stop services
[11:26] <Stormx2> Chizn: What does it do?
[11:26] <NoUse> ubuntunewbie you're essentially downloading a new OS, not a small task
[11:26] <ompaul> ubuntunewbie, btw remove backports from your sources.list
[11:26] <bob2> Chizn: you'd need to show us the full error in #flood
[11:26] <Chizn> Stormx2,  runs other OS's within Linux
[11:26] <robotgeek> mertl: CC is what is used for compiliation
[11:27] <Chizn> bob2, ok
[11:27] <Stormx2> Chizn: Isn't that wine's job? ;-)
[11:27] <bimberi> Chizn: "command not found"? does that file (/etc/init.d/vmware) exist?
[11:27] <eventual1uddha> which user owns the cron job that runs logrotate?
[11:27] <ubuntunewbie> how do I start/stop ssh deamon? and others, I dont see /etc/init.d/ssh?
[11:27] <erUSUL> private_meta, cafuego said you can boot the install cd in rescue mode typing 'rescue' at boot: promt try that too...
[11:27] <bimberi> ubuntunewbie: sshd isn't installed by default
[11:28] <mertl> robotgeek, thanks, I know. But I've got the problem, that my Player/Stage/Gazebo installation fails. And I think it's not working because of this gcc 4.0
[11:28] <trappist> ubuntunewbie: sudo apt-get install ssh-server
[11:28] <moogman> cafuego: Thank you.
[11:28] <Chizn> Stormx2, not always no
[11:28] <nalioth> mertl: did you "export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4" <enter> ?
[11:28] <Chizn> bimberi, yes it does
[11:28] <Stormx2> Chizn: What does VMWare do that is different to wine?
[11:28] <bimberi> Chizn: k
[11:28] <ubuntunewbie> how secure is ubuntu, it do NOT have any servers running by default (opened to world)?
[11:28] <bob2> Chizn: um, sudo a+x /etc/init.d/vmware
[11:28] <Chizn> bimberi, under no sudo, it says permission denied
[11:28] <robotgeek> mertl: also join #ubuntu-gazebo
[11:28] <bob2> Stormx2: they do entirely different things
[11:29] <ubuntunewbie> there isnt an grsecurity kernel for ubuntu by any chance, for amd64 in example?
[11:29] <sm> hi all.. how do I solve INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: JavaPluginFactory5 init - no agent?\nSystem error?:: No such file or directory when starting galeon ?
[11:29] <jeff303> is there something special I have to do in order to boot from a  CD, after Ubuntu has been installed?
[11:29] <bob2> Stormx2: vmware virtualises a i386 cpu, wine emulates windows librarires to let you run windows applications on i386 linux
[11:29] <bob2> ubuntunewbie: no
[11:29] <bob2> ubuntunewbie: if you don't know how to build a kernel, grsecurity is not going to be of any use
[11:29] <nuck> i cant find the link to d/l the app/packge from this site its all documentation http://ext2fsd.sourceforge.net/projects/projects.htm#ext2fsd
[11:29] <Chizn> bob2, a+x command not found?
[11:29] <bob2> Chizn: sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/vmware
[11:30] <ubuntunewbie> bob2, I do know, but it's lengthy and Im lazy ;)
[11:30] <bob2> jeff303: configure your bios to do so
[11:30] <ubuntunewbie> bob2, I should build tools like this gradm, or are there packets for it?
[11:30] <bob2> ubuntunewbie: apt-cache search gradm
[11:30] <bob2> assumign you enabeld universe
[11:30] <Chizn> bob2, it stopped!!
[11:31] <erUSUL> !tell me about ops
[11:31] <Chizn> hallefonkinlooolya!
[11:31] <Chizn> thank you
[11:31] <nalioth> Nick_Hill: pm?
[11:31] <jeff303> bob2: not sure how to do that, this is a tosh laptop and bios seems only editable from windows
[11:31] <wotnarg> meh, whats the daemon editing program for Debian-oids called again?
[11:31] <bob2> jeff303: then yo ucan't boot cds at all
[11:31] <nuck> hey bob2 how do i share a filesystem between XP and Ubuntu5.04 assumin i already have a FAT32 partition for this purpose and its already visible in XP?
[11:31] <bob2> "daemon editing program"?
[11:31] <trappist> jeff303: usually you configure your bios before the os ever boots
[11:32] <bob2> nuck: /msg ubotu ntfs
[11:32] <bob2> nuck: then follow those instructions to mount it
[11:32] <wotnarg> bob2: It changes what daemons run automatically.
[11:32] <BooZee> i've installed apache2. i went to /var/www and tried creating a file there (vim filename). after trying to save the file, i got a '"bug.php" E212: Can't open file for writing'
[11:32] <jeff303> oh right, F8 or something
[11:32] <jeff303> ok thanks I'll give it a try
[11:32] <bob2> wotnarg: update-rc.d
[11:33] <erUSUL> BooZee, you do not have permisions there
[11:33] <bob2> BooZee: yes, you don't have permission to write there
[11:33] <ubuntunewbie> BooZee, better create  /var/www/foo and chown & chmod it
[11:33] <wotnarg> bob2: Thanks :)
[11:33] <ubuntunewbie> or use home_dir
[11:33] <bob2> BooZee: sudo chown $USER /var/www/
[11:33] <bob2> BooZee: or put it in ~/public_html/
[11:33] <Chizn> bob2, how do i do this <#flood>
[11:33] <bob2> Chizn: ?
[11:33] <Raf256> bob2, but then remember to reconfigure apache
[11:33] <Stormx2> When is VLC 2.8 going to be released with GTK2?
[11:33] <bob2> Raf256: no
[11:33] <bob2> Stormx2: #vlc
[11:34] <Raf256> bob2, oh, unless it is ON by default, ofcoure
[11:34] <edddi3> Where can I find a changelog of the latest Ubuntu version?
[11:34] <lando> what is vlc?
[11:34] <Chizn> lol, $flood-channel-var?
[11:34] <bob2> Raf256: unless what is on?
[11:34] <Stormx2> bob2: No, its purely a ubuntu-only build
[11:34] <bob2> Chizn: what on earth are you talking about?
[11:34] <bob2> Stormx2: then for breezy "never"
[11:34] <Quest-Master> Argh wtf.
[11:34] <Raf256> bob2, the user dir module/option in apache
[11:34] <Chizn> lol.. look in #flood please?
[11:34] <Stormx2> bob2: Why...
[11:34] <Quest-Master> This is my first time on Breezy on a fresh install and BAM
[11:35] <bob2> Stormx2: because breezy is released
[11:35] <bob2> Stormx2: it's done
[11:35] <Quest-Master> Firefox already crashed when I had a bunch of important tabs open
[11:35] <bob2> Stormx2: it will not get random changes made for no reason
[11:35] <Chizn> i got an error, trying to run the config for vmware, it wants me to change the CC variable to point to gcc 3.x.x?
[11:35] <Chizn> i dont know where it is
[11:35] <Stormx2> bob2: Its not a core package...
[11:35] <bob2> Quest-Master: if you're not using binary-only plugins, file a bug
[11:35] <bob2> Stormx2: that doesn't matter at all
[11:35] <kemik> !javadev
[11:35] <ubotu> kemik: Did you get hit by a windmill?
[11:35] <Stormx2> bob2: And plus, the reason is that GTK1 is yukky.
[11:35] <etsme> its been 7 hours since i have been connected to the internet and upto now i have only managed to download 65MB, why the speed is almostly reduced to half which I used to get on windows. Is there any dialup specific configuration to boost my network throughput. Plz Help
[11:35] <kemik> !javadeb
[11:35] <ubotu> well, javadeb is for sun java debs packaged for ubuntu, Install from http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/bpxbf (Breezy)
[11:35] <bob2> Chizn: CC=gcc-3.4 ./vmwareconfig.pl
[11:35] <bob2> Chizn: or whatever it is
[11:35] <Stormx2> bob2: Dude, it does matter to some people, just maybe not you...
[11:35] <bluefrog-10> Chizn, http://users.linuxbourg.ch/waver/blog/index.php?2005/10/18/61-installer-vmware-sous-ubuntu-breezy
[11:36] <bob2> Stormx2: um, gtk1 being ugly is not a good enough reason to update a stable release, sorry
[11:36] <bob2> Stormx2: you're welcome to try to get the fix into the next stable release
[11:36] <bob2> Stormx2: I'm sure it matters to some people, but as above
[11:36] <private_meta> great...
[11:36] <private_meta> now the ubuntu live cd doesn't work
[11:36] <Stormx2> bob2: ....hmm. But isn't a matter of re-compiling with GTK2 and updating to the repos?
[11:36] <sm> anyone ? how to make galeon start and not complain about missing JavaPluginFactory5 ?
[11:36] <juanjo> I have this problem: http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2005-July/042849.html and cannot solve it just removing or renaming .ICEAuthority... any clue on how to solve it?
[11:36] <robotgeek> Stormx2: if it was so simple, they wud have done it. they know it's ugly too :)
[11:36] <bob2> Stormx2: no, it's a matter of someone updating the source package and uploading it to dapper
[11:37] <trappist> Stormx2: and testing the shit out of all the updated apps.  stable is supposed to be STABLE.  if you want super-purty you don't want stable.
[11:37] <bob2> sm: remove the java plugin
[11:37] <Stormx2> trappist: I have 2.6 with GTK2 and stable.
[11:37] <sm> hmm.. that's drastic, I needed it for something in firefox
[11:37] <Chizn> bluefrog-10, that is in french
[11:37] <sm> but good idea, I'll try that
[11:37] <bluefrog-10> Chizn, command lines are command lines...
[11:38] <etsme> its been 7 hours since i have been connected to the internet and upto now i have only managed to download 65MB, why the speed is almostly reduced to half which I used to get on windows. Is there any dialup specific configuration to boost my network throughput. Plz Help
[11:38] <trappist> Stormx2: you can do whatever you like with your system, but gtk ugliness is no excuse for package maintainers to mess around with a stable release.
[11:38] <bob2> Stormx2: then yo ucan request that it be enabled for dapper
[11:38] <puff> Okay, so I'm going with squid for the proxy, I guess I can just ssh port-forward to secure the wireless connection.  How would I keep people on outside systems from using squid?
[11:38] <bob2> juanjo: someoen broke your X
[11:38] <bob2> etsme: no need to repeat
[11:38] <bob2> puff: make it only listen on localhost
[11:38] <bob2> puff: then only people ssh'd in will be able to use it
[11:38] <Stormx2> trappist: Ack. Well it seems a little of a waste, thats all
[11:38] <bob2> juanjo: ls -lLd /etc/X11/X
[11:38] <lasindi[lappy] > Hi all, could someone recommend a wireless networking card for Ubuntu, preferably USB? I need one that will work for certain, and obviously it's preferable if there is native support (i.e. not through ndiswrapper).
[11:38] <bob2> Stormx2: then file a bug asking it be enabled for dapper
[11:38] <Stormx2> trappist: on ubuntuforums.org, there is a little pressure just to re-compile and upload
[11:38] <chmod777> I have installed apache2, which directory is on my HD is localhost?
[11:38] <sorush20> guys how od oI do a simple file compare usig kate?
[11:38] <bluefrog-10> Chizn, follow the command lines, the babbling is to explain what the command lines r doing, they are pretty much self explanatory..
[11:39] <nalioth> puff: you put into it's configurtion to only allow internal connections
[11:39] <Stormx2> bob2: Dapper is 6 months away....
[11:39] <bob2> Stormx2: thank god ubuntuforums has no power over ubuntu then
[11:39] <bob2> Stormx2: yes
[11:39] <puff> Ah, thanks.
[11:39] <Chizn> ok thanks bluefrog-10
[11:39] <bob2> Stormx2: you're welcome to host gtk2-enabled packages on your webserver until then
[11:39] <Drew_> Has anyone had a problem installing breezy????
[11:39] <Stormx2> bob2: Suppose so.
[11:39] <PR3DLAND> where are the darn pid files
[11:39] <robotgeek> lasindi[lappy] : the netgear MA 111 works
[11:39] <bob2> lasindi[lappy] : netgear ma-111 version1
[11:39] <trappist> Stormx2: most people who run a 'stable' system are doing it on a server.  desktops don't need to be as stable as the threshhold for that label, so I would guess not a lot of thought and effort go into aesthetic updates
[11:39] <bob2> PR3DLAND: /var/run
[11:39] <chmod777> thx
[11:40] <PR3DLAND> thanks
[11:40] <lasindi[lappy] > robotgeek, bob2, is MA111 USB or PCI?
[11:40] <robotgeek> lasindi[lappy] : usb
[11:40] <erUSUL> sorush20, use cmp or diff
[11:40] <bob2> lasindi[lappy] : usb...
[11:40] <Drew_> Anyone have an idea y my computer freezes durring the install of breezy
[11:40] <Stormx2> trappist: Well I suppose, but then people who run servers don't use them to watch movies?
[11:40] <erUSUL> sorush20, visually use xxdiff or meld
[11:40] <bob2> Drew_: you need to give a lot more details...
[11:40] <trappist> Stormx2: generally, no.
[11:40] <bluefrog-10> Drew_, check the md5sum of your cd/iso
[11:40] <sm> bob2: how do I remove that plugin ? I have removed it from .firefox/plugins ...
[11:40] <nuck> i ran the script for mounting the common partition but it only showed the main XP partition which is not what i want visible from ubuntu. iwanted to be able to manipulate the fat32 filesystem partition i specifically set for that
[11:41] <bluefrog-10> Drew_, to begin with...
[11:41] <nuck> maybe i should change some parameter within the script i ran?
[11:41] <bob2> nuck: no
[11:41] <iiiears>  ubotu keybind is Restart DHCP on Wake or swap Del with <--[backspace  Are two of many uses for this app. http://xpybind.sourceforge.net/
[11:41] <ubotu> okay, iiiears
[11:41] <Drew_> i used to have problems with acpi
[11:41] <bob2> nuck: just add it to /etc/fstab manually then
[11:41] <Stormx2> trappist: So updating a package which is for desktop users (vast majority) to have GTK2 (but with no lost stability) would be a sensible thing to do, imho
[11:41] <Drew_> it would freeze installing that
[11:41] <PR3DLAND> hmmm
[11:41] <bob2> sm: I don't know where you put it
[11:41] <gnuyen> hi every time I open a nautilus window or so
[11:41] <gnuyen> it says you need to login to access (my own ip)
[11:42] <PR3DLAND> can i search for a pid file by number??
[11:42] <gnuyen> but i just hit cancel and can browse my own drive anyway
[11:42] <nuck> the script was winamc_fstab
[11:42] <Drew_> im also dual boot xp and ubuntu
[11:42] <sm> I have j2re1.4 and j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin installed
[11:42] <bob2> PR3DLAND: what are you trying to do?
[11:42] <trappist> Stormx2: if you say so.  I'm happy to see them behave a little more conservatively with something they call stable.  if I want the newest shiniest packages I just won't use stable.
[11:42] <sm> the latter is just a metapackage
[11:42] <bob2> nuck: yes, just edit /etc/fstab manually then
[11:42] <sorush20> thanks erUSUL
[11:42] <Drew_> does anyone have the 64 bit version of ubuntu 5.10 running
[11:42] <sm> I don't see anything telling galeon/firefox to load up java at this point, but galeon still complaining.. all clues welcome
[11:42] <Stormx2> trappist: I'm using an older version that they have in the repos lol! Its not new or shiny
[11:43] <PR3DLAND> my squid is down
[11:43] <PR3DLAND> but when i check status
[11:43] <Stormx2> brb, pills
[11:43] <mikkelk> can it be right that alsaconf is not in Ubuntu 5.10?
[11:43] <PR3DLAND> it gives me a pid file #
[11:43] <bob2> Drew_: if you mean "amd64 port", yes, lots of people use it
[11:43] <BooZee> how do I show the line number in vim ?
[11:43] <bob2> mikkelk: what would you want to do with it?
[11:43] <PR3DLAND> but in /var/run/ there is no squid.pid file
[11:43] <Drew_> cause for some reason i cant get it to even come close to running
[11:43] <bob2> PR3DLAND: "check status"?
[11:43] <bob2> Drew_: you verified the cd?
[11:43] <juanjo> bob2,  /etc/X11/X seems to be there and fine. I've just installed ubunty 5.10 and everything went ok during the installation, apparently. What does that "unable to find transport:tcp" means?
[11:44] <robotgeek> BooZee: colon command, set nu
[11:44] <PR3DLAND> /etc/init.d/squid status
[11:44] <Drew_> i think so
[11:44] <robotgeek> BooZee: you might also want to look at http://vimdoc.sf.net
[11:44] <Drew_> im redownloading it right now
[11:44] <bob2> juanjo: what did the thing I suggest print out?
[11:44] <nuck> what command line do i type to see the volumes mounted in my hd?
[11:44] <BooZee> 10x
[11:44] <bob2> Drew_: no, that is of no use
[11:44] <bob2> nuck: "mount"
[11:44] <Drew_> o
[11:44] <bob2> nuck: also, if you'd stop ignoring me, you could have fixed this by now
[11:44] <lasindi[lappy] > robotgeek, bob2, I'm reading that MA111 is supported through linux-wlan-ng. Is linux-wlan-ng built into Ubuntu so that it will automatically be configured, or will I have to compile my own kernel?
[11:44] <Raf256> Drew_, I 'm now on amd64
[11:44] <erUSUL> juanjo, depnds on the aplication saying it
[11:44] <mikkelk> bob2: I can't get my sound working on my laptop, so i've tried installing realtek-linux-audiopack as i could see in the forums worked for someone with the same laptop as me. But when i run the install-scripts it says that it can't find alsaconf
[11:44] <robotgeek> lasindi[lappy] : it's there
[11:45] <bob2> lasindi[lappy] : the drivers are configured
[11:45] <bob2> lasindi[lappy] : er, included
[11:45] <juanjo> bob2, ls -Ld /etc/X11/X shows: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1790168 2005-10-10 20:10 /etc/X11/X
[11:45] <erUSUL> nuck, mount
[11:45] <bob2> lasindi[lappy] : it requires manual fiddling to make it work, tho, but so does all usb devices I'm aware of
[11:45] <juanjo> erUSUL, it's IceTransTransNoListen saying that, as here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81433
[11:45] <bob2> Drew_: boot into expert mode and check the "verify cd" option
[11:45] <airmikey_> any 1 running muine..not able to get album covers to show up
[11:46] <Drew_> i dont have an working linux on my system
[11:46] <Drew_> right now im in xp
[11:46] <lasindi[lappy] > bob2, are you familiar with the WG111 card by chance?
[11:46] <irce> damn dell. can't get the Fn buttons to work nor s2r
[11:46] <lasindi[lappy] > or robotgeek ?
[11:46] <Drew_> thats the only thing that works on this computer
[11:46] <Raf256> how should I install the nvidia driver? just download from nvidia.com (the amd64 version, for my amd64 ubuntu) and normally run the installer via sudo?  what should I install? the gcc compiler... something more? some xlib-devel or something?
[11:46] <private_meta> damn... even live cd doesn't start up anymore...
[11:46] <bob2> lasindi[lappy] : sounds like prism54
[11:46] <private_meta> doesn't even be recognized...
[11:46] <erUSUL> airmikey_, some it gets some not that's live ;)
[11:46] <bob2> lasindi[lappy] : that requires installing crap from cvs
[11:46] <nuck> does Ubuntu recognize FAT or just FAT32?
[11:46] <bob2> Raf256: wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:46] <bob2> nuck: dude
[11:46] <bluefrog-10> Drew_, bob2 told u to boot and instead of hitting enter write expert and then check verify cd
[11:47] <sm> strange, galeon isn't listed at bugzilla.ubuntu.com
[11:47] <bob2> sm: yes, it's not in ubuntu main
[11:47] <evian> when I try to apt-get anything I get a "segmentation faulty tree". what should I do?
[11:47] <bob2> sm: launchpad.net
[11:47] <nuck> something stupid again i said? :-)
[11:47] <erUSUL> nuck, yes it does
[11:47] <lasindi[lappy] > bob2, I've been trying to do this through ndiswrapper, but I've been having quite a bit of trouble. Would prism54 be easier to use?
[11:47] <sm> ah, thx
[11:47] <bob2> erUSUL: reboot and run memtest86 from the grub menu
[11:47] <bob2> irce: using a non-brok dsdt might work
[11:47] <airmikey_> erUSUL: yeah but i dont got not a 1 i got over a tousand songs hear
[11:47] <bob2> nuck: what partition do you want to mount?
[11:48] <nuck> i cant seem to find the partition for my common filesystem when i typed mount
[11:48] <puff> bob2, nalioth:  I have squid installed, and there's an "http_access allow localhost" line, but it doesn't appear to be allowing my requests to go through.
[11:48] <Stormx2> back
[11:48] <Stormx2> !flood
[11:48] <ubotu> rumour has it, flood is for pasting, please use http://pastebin.com , http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl or #flood here on freenode.
[11:48] <bob2> nuck: that's unsurprising, since you haven't mounted it
[11:48] <erUSUL> nuck put something like this in fstab /dev/hdxx /mnt/hdxx vfat rw,user   0   0
[11:48] <nuck> i wanted to mount a FAT32 partition in my HD its about 1GB i intend to use just for data
[11:48] <concept10> what media players support Xvid?  totem, vlc, etc?
[11:48] <erUSUL> bob2, ??
[11:48] <Stormx2> Ah it is configured to do that ;D
[11:48] <nalioth> puff: may i suggest you visit the squid homepage and read the faq, or perhaps there is a #squid channel here
[11:48] <bob2> erUSUL: ?
[11:48] <puff> nalioth: I read the faq.
[11:49] <bob2> puff: based on?
[11:49] <erUSUL> bob2, my memory is ok i have vit b pills
[11:49] <bluefrog-10> lasindi[lappy] , u tried with ndiswrapper means u started and failed to complete what has to be done, or it wasn't working afterwards?
[11:49] <Stormx2> nuck: okay, so what is the problem?
[11:49] <BurgerMann> How do I use shell to mass rename/moving on files containing the word english to eg. danish?
[11:49] <nuck> so when i put that entry in fstab i run mount again with any parameters?
[11:49] <puff> However, I'll ask on the squid channel.
[11:49] <bob2> nuck: no
[11:49] <bob2> nuck: mount /mnt/whateveryoutoldit
[11:49] <nuck> Storm i think you suggested the script winmac-fstab worked great thanks
[11:49] <lasindi[lappy] > bluefrog-10, I configured the card with ndiswrapper, but it's not being very reliably at all.
[11:50] <bob2> BurgerMann: on the contents?
[11:50] <gnuyen> anyone know why nautilus would ask me a password to access my own computer?
[11:50] <BurgerMann> bob2, no I filenames
[11:50] <mikkelk> don't anybody know how to get alsaconf under Breezy?
[11:50] <PR3DLAND> bob2: /etc/init.d/squid status
[11:50] <lasindi[lappy] > bluefrog-10, first, I could only use it with 64 bit encryption, not 128, but now it just won't work at all for some reason.
[11:50] <private_meta> hey that sucks so much... i can't boot any form of ubuntu, either live or installed
[11:50] <gnuyen> it was a fresh install of breezy for amd65
[11:50] <bob2> BurgerMann: use the "rename" command
[11:50] <trappist> gnuyen: so it can be sure you're you?
[11:50] <Stormx2> nuck: So is it mounted/
[11:50] <BurgerMann> bob2, thanx
[11:50] <bob2> private_meta: that's a hardware issue, not an ubuntu one
[11:50] <bluefrog-10> lasindi[lappy] , was this linksys card working well under windows?
[11:50] <bob2> PR3DLAND: ok!
[11:50] <sorush20> guys why is it that for make install you have to use clear but for make you have to use clean?
[11:50] <juanjo> bob2, the problem is in gnome-session. i get that error just when i run gnome-session& from the terminal also: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81433
[11:50] <lasindi[lappy] > bluefrog-10, it's a Netgear card, not linksys, but yes, it works well on Windows.
[11:50] <private_meta> bob2 well... it is stuck when it's "Configuring for snapshot"
[11:51] <bob2> sorush20: what on earth does "have to use clear" mean?
[11:51] <private_meta> atm
[11:51] <trappist> sorush20: that's up to whoever made the Makefile
[11:51] <gnuyen> trappist, but if i hit cancel it lets me browse anyway
[11:51] <nalioth> sorush20: think "checkinstall" not 'make install' and what you seek is "make clean"
[11:51] <trappist> gnuyen: since I don't know what kind of browsing you're talking about, I'm guessing you get different privileges as an authenticated user vs. a guest
[11:51] <puff> bob2:  I installed squid, read the faq, read the quick start guide, edited /etc/squid/squid.conf, found that the default install has "http_access allow localhost" already in it, with a comment that *seems* to indicate that it does what I want, set my browser's proxy to be localhost 3128, ssh port-forwarded localhsot 3128 to colo box 3128, made a request (for the squid manual, actually) and got the Squid error page, "Access Denie
[11:51] <puff> d.  Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect."
[11:51] <PR3DLAND> bob2: so any idea where this pid file could be other than var/run/ ??
[11:51] <Raf256> how to install opera?
[11:52] <_Norris_> how install scanner
[11:52] <bluefrog-10> lasindi[lappy] , i think the 64 is as much as u will be able to get, now if it's not working... is ndiswrapper in /etc/modprobe.d/  ?
[11:52] <nuck> what do i need to put in the field <mount point? i put "/media/common" so when i run moutn it should be "mount /media/common" right?
[11:52] <_Norris_> ?
[11:52] <nalioth> ubotu: tell Raf256 about opera
[11:52] <sorush20> guys how do I edit the right lclick options menu in KDE?
[11:52] <nuck> Stormx2 bob2 everyone  what do i need to put in the field <mount point? i put "/media/common" so when i run moutn it should be "mount /media/common" right?
[11:52] <bob2> Raf256: www.opera.com
[11:52] <bob2> nuck: yes
[11:52] <lasindi[lappy] > bluefrog-10, I've tried putting ndiswrapper in both /etc/modules as well as loading it manually.
[11:52] <bob2> nuck: as long as you put no quote
[11:53] <bob2> sorush20: #kubuntu
[11:53] <bluefrog-10> lasindi[lappy] , with ndiswrapper -m  ?
[11:53] <nuck> i get "mount point /media/common does not exist
[11:53] <gnuyen> and when i type my password it doesn't work
[11:53] <Raf256> with .deb to download for ubuntu 5.10? this for Debian testing?
[11:53] <Chizn> can ubuntu write dvds by default?
[11:54] <Chizn> or is there some library i need to install?
[11:54] <lasindi[lappy] > bluefrog-10, actually no, just adding it with a text editor to /etc/modules.
[11:54] <lasindi[lappy] > bluefrog-10, what should I do with ndiswrapper -m?
[11:54] <ompaul> Chizn, if you install growisofs
[11:54] <bluefrog-10> lasindi[lappy] , what gives  ndiswrapper -l
[11:54] <drapelyk> Anyone: command to get a file via internet
[11:54] <drapelyk> ?
[11:54] <HrdwrBoB> ...
[11:55] <NoUse> drapelyk wget
[11:55] <HrdwrBoB> wget?
[11:55] <private_meta> ah... i restarted the computer and tried ubuntu live again... now it's stuck with creating a user...
[11:55] <drapelyk> lol
[11:55] <drapelyk> I couldn't remember
[11:55] <private_meta> that totally sucks
[11:55] <drapelyk> thanks
[11:55] <lasindi[lappy] > bluefrog-10, Installed ndis drivers: net111v2       driver present, hardware present
[11:55] <bluefrog-10> lasindi[lappy] , sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[11:55] <nalioth> ubotu: tell private_meta about verify
[11:56] <Raf256> if I want to use a .deb in ubunu, then I should search for a deb for witch debian? testing? unstable? woody? sarge?
[11:56] <bob2> nuck: then make it
[11:56] <bob2> Chizn: it works fine by default
[11:56] <Chizn> i think the driving force behind my terminal is dead because every argument i type just hangs there doing nothing
[11:56] <bob2> Raf256: what are you trying to do?
[11:56] <whyameye> I know this isn't quite the right place to ask...where could I find out information about connecting an ATA133 drive to an ATA100 controller? I want to install a 300gig drive in an old Dell and run ubuntu...
[11:56] <Chizn> bob2, in k3b, if i wanted to write a data dvd, should it work by default?
[11:57] <bob2> Chizn: no idea
[11:57] <private_meta> well... that verification doesn
[11:57] <private_meta> doesn't help
[11:57] <bob2> Chizn: the gnome filemanager can burn dvds out of the box, tho
[11:57] <lasindi[lappy] > bluefrog-10, still doesn't work.
[11:57] <nuck> sorry bob but... how?
[11:57] <bob2> nuck: sudo mkdir /edia/whatever
[11:57] <Raf256> bob2, install opera from opera.com, but there are 5 versions for debian
[11:57] <bluefrog-10> lasindi[lappy] , can u see it in system administration networking?
[11:58] <lasindi[lappy] > bluefrog-10, basically I get some kind response (blue flashing light) when I set the ssid or key, but when I try to get an IP address with dhclient3, I don't get anything.
[11:58] <lasindi[lappy] > bluefrog-10, yes
[11:58] <bob2> Raf256: I'd get the static tarball
[11:58] <Chizn> how do i burn it in gnome?
[11:58] <lasindi[lappy] > bluefrog-10, it will just hang as it's "activating wlan0"
[11:58] <bluefrog-10> lasindi[lappy] , is it configured /activate?
[11:58] <bob2> Chizn: insert a blank dvd
[11:58] <bob2> Chizn: dragae files to the window that pops up
[11:58] <bob2> Chizn: select "write" from the file menu
[11:58] <Raf256> bob2, is there such option?  http://www.opera.com/download/
[11:58] <bob2> Chizn: make  cup of tea
[11:58] <lasindi[lappy] > bluefrog-10, it's configured, but activating just makes the networking utility hang.
[11:58] <Raf256> oh, Other/Static DEB
[11:59] <sm> ok, galeon and j2re-1.4 seem incompatible.. bug reported
[11:59] <lasindi[lappy] > i.e. it never stops activating
[11:59] <sm> and sun's java seems too hard to set up.. so it's freemind or galeon
[11:59] <bob2> Raf256: uh
[11:59] <private_meta> damnit... why do i always have problems noone can solve...
[11:59] <bluefrog-10> lasindi[lappy] , how is it configured? wep ?
[11:59] <bob2> Raf256: it offers .debs for all 3 versions of ubuntu
[11:59] <nuck> bob2 did i mention i crashed my computer last night both of them i lost everything... the feeling is probly the same as having your house burned down only to a lesser extent
[11:59] <bob2> private_meta: part of it is that you don't explain the problem clearly
[11:59] <lasindi[lappy] > bluefrog-10, yes
[11:59] <sm> ah, maybe I'll replace galeon with mozilla
[11:59] <freebox> exist something like pykota?
[11:59] <iiiears> netsnipe - apache mime magic settings
