[12:02] <revmoo> Segmentation fault
[12:02] <gnomefreak> Stork, watch your language please
[12:02] <mwe> Sh4d0x: you messed with xorg.conf?
[12:03] <Stork> ffs.
[12:03] <crimsun> revmoo: generate strace output and post it on the Web
[12:03] <Sh4d0x> uhu
[12:03] <rickard> gnomefreak, I'm not sure, think I have the latest version.... can I check it in some way?
[12:03] <Stork> linux sucks.
[12:03] <mwe> Stork: you suck
[12:03] <gnomefreak> rickard, type in terminal uname -r
[12:03] <adub> i am running a fresh install and i can not apt-get install anything??????
[12:03] <crimsun> Stork: ranting isn't going to help resolve your issue(s)
[12:03] <Sh4d0x> my laptop screen won't work, only tv screen seems to work
[12:03] <butcherbird> Stork: what kind of video card do you have?
[12:03] <Stork> it runs for like an hour, then it crashes and when it reboots all the settings change
[12:03] <Sh4d0x> but before i changed it i made a backup
[12:03] <_jason> adub, read what ubotu sent you
[12:03] <rickard> gnomefreak, 2.6.12-10-386
[12:03] <adub> ok
[12:03] <Sh4d0x> how can i put things straight?
[12:03] <adub> i have to activate root
[12:03] <Stork> so every time quake crashes i have to re-configure xserver, and nvidia, and quake4
[12:04] <_jason> adub, no
[12:04] <gnomefreak> rickard, do you have any backports open to dapper by chance?
[12:04] <mwe> Sh4d0x: restore the backup
[12:04] <Sh4d0x> how do i do that?
[12:04] <rickard> gnomefreak, u mean backport repositories?
[12:04] <EloraKun> adub: sudo apt-get
[12:04] <gnomefreak> rickard, yes
[12:04] <revmoo> crimsun: http://brianwitha.be/xmms-strace
[12:04] <mwe> Sh4d0x: like cp the backup file name to the original file name
[12:05] <navarone> maybe sudo cp if it is a system file
[12:05] <Sh4d0x> and where can i find the backup?
[12:05] <rickard> gnomefreak, nope, I don't think so
[12:05] <mwe> Sh4d0x: I asume you can get a console login
[12:05] <mwe> Sh4d0x: you can find it where you put it when you made it
[12:05] <adub> odd so will i have to sudo all the time
[12:05] <gnomefreak> rickard, did you try sudo apt-get install python-dev?
[12:05] <Sh4d0x> uhm, right now, my watching from tv, cus my own screen doesn't work
[12:05] <gnomefreak> rickard,  no version number
[12:05] <crimsun> revmoo: sec, I'm reading EloraKun's problem
[12:05] <mwe> adub: use sudo -i to get a root prompt if you need to do a lot as root
[12:05] <revmoo> no rush
[12:05] <duckdown> Can someone help me out please, I'm having a problem configuring something and it has to do with 'aclocal' ... Here is the paste:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7119
[12:05] <Sh4d0x> hmm, point is: i don't got a clue where i saved it :$
[12:06] <EloraKun> adub: That's how ubuntu works, unless you activate root and prepare yourself to run into lots of problems to configure anything, like I am doing
[12:06] <_jason> adub, or you can just use 'sudo -i' to get a root prompt
[12:06] <mwe> Sh4d0x: well look in /etc/X11/ I would guess
[12:06] <navarone> Sh4d0x, search for it
[12:06] <gnomefreak> rickard, python-dev should install any deps that it needs to satisfy
[12:06] <rickard> gnomefreak, yes, did that too... then it complained abt python2.4-dev was not availabel
[12:07] <Sh4d0x> ok
[12:07] <Sh4d0x> and then simply replace the names?
[12:07] <CanYouHelpMePlz> can somone tell me how to add an icon, so i can use it for something on my gnome panel?
[12:07] <Sh4d0x> hmm sounds easy
[12:07] <navarone> Sh4d0x, I think you have to cp backup file into the bad one...
[12:07] <crimsun> EloraKun: ok, you're using the right driver. Audigy ES, correct?
[12:07] <gnomefreak> rickard, i think 2.4.2 is dapper app and 2.4.1 is breezy app and if you have the backports enabled it will grab the dapper version of one and not the other
[12:08] <EloraKun> I hope I am.
[12:08] <crimsun> EloraKun: Audigy SE, rather
[12:08] <rickard> gnomefreak, ok
[12:08] <navarone> Sh4d0x,  something like sudo cp /backup name /etc/X11/xorg.conf <--  I assume you are talking the xorg.conf
[12:08] <Sh4d0x> sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:08] <Sh4d0x> that's the file
[12:09] <crimsun> EloraKun: amixer sset 'i2s mixer out' on
[12:09] <navarone> Sh4d0x, what is backup name?
[12:09] <crimsun> revmoo: any progress?
[12:09] <adub> will i have to do sudo everytime i go to do something in command line
[12:09] <Sh4d0x> just a minute
[12:09] <revmoo> no. I don't know how to debug software
[12:09] <Sh4d0x> cuz i followed the wikipage to make a back up
[12:09] <revmoo> did you see the strace link i posted?
[12:09] <tristanmike> Can someone please help me with a refresh rate issue?
[12:09] <gnomefreak> someone in breezy please run apt-cache policy python please :)
[12:09] <Sh4d0x> sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[12:09] <Sh4d0x> this should be the backup
[12:10] <rickard> gnomefreak, I managed to install it now
[12:10] <mwe> gnomefreak: I use breezy python and python-dev are both 2.4.2
[12:10] <gnomefreak> ok than that wasnt it :(
[12:10] <gnomefreak> rickard, how?
[12:10] <gnomefreak> ty mwe
[12:10] <rickard> gnomefreak, I added backports to sources.list
[12:10] <EloraKun> crimsun: They refuse to change to on. And still getting the stati everytime the card is used
[12:10] <rickard> gnomefreak, then ran apt-get install python-dev
[12:10] <mwe> !info python
[12:10] <ubotu> python: (An interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version)), section python, is important. Version: 2.4.2-0ubuntu2 (breezy), Packaged size: 125 kB, Installed size: 532 kB
[12:10] <navarone> Sh4d0x, reverse order...sudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf  <-- will basically rename the file backup to the xorg.conf replacing it
[12:11] <gnomefreak> rickard, hope you ran apt-get update too
[12:11] <rickard> gnomefreak, yup, I did that bfr
[12:11] <crimsun> EloraKun: cat /proc/interrupts
[12:11] <Sh4d0x> ok
[12:11] <pwn__> ## slackware
[12:11] <pwn__> ops
[12:11] <Sh4d0x> i'll give it a try
[12:11] <gnomefreak> figured you had them since i think everyone does :(
[12:11] <rickard> gnomefreak, yes, now I successfully installed scribes too!
[12:11] <Sh4d0x> my eyes are burning watching this television on a low frequention :s

[12:16] <hetul_> Hi everyone, I installed Nvidia driver for my Geforce 5200, I got two screeens, Monitor and Tv, it works, i see different screen on each screen, monitor and tv. But i don't know how to switch to other, any help please?
[12:16] <KatteKrab> I'm trying to figure out how to set different alert sounds for different events. Eg - a terminal beep vs mail arriving, vs gaim bling bling... anyone have any ideas?
[12:16] <gnomefreak> gaim you change in the app itsself
[12:17] <Sh4d0x> ok my idee worked
[12:17] <ninnghizidha> How can i change the Standard-Action which is eecuted whn iclickn an URL within XChat?
[12:17] <Sh4d0x> i'm off for a reboot, hope i brb, else => format :'(
[12:17] <crimsun> revmoo: please pastebin the output from glxinfo
[12:17] <Sh4d0x> bye
[12:17] <gnomefreak> the terminal beep is internal pc beep (your motherboard)
[12:17] <navarone> KatteKrab, klook in System/Preferences/Sound/System events tab
[12:17] <revmoo> crimsun: it segfaults(wtf?)
[12:17] <LordMelkor> does anyone know how to update DRI drivers???
[12:18] <crimsun> revmoo: therein lies your issue (Nvidia drivers).
[12:18] <revmoo> thats what it looks like
[12:18] <_jason> ninnghizidha, take a look at settings -> advanced -> url handlers
[12:18] <KatteKrab> gnomefreak: Ok - so there's no way to change that?
[12:18] <revmoo> thanks for the pointers :) ill work on these drivers now
[12:18] <McJerry> hetul_ what do you mean by switch to the other, is the monitor hooked up dvi or svga? is the tv hooked up s-video?
[12:18] <crimsun> revmoo: does the segfault persist across a reboot?
[12:18] <revmoo> im about to find out
[12:18] <hetul_> McJerry, s-video
[12:18] <KatteKrab> navarone: Thanks - I was looking there, I think I need to check in every application for specifics?
[12:18] <EloraKun> crimsun: Still getting the static
[12:18] <hetul_> McJerry, and monitor is VGA
[12:19] <McJerry> are you using twinview settings?
[12:19] <crimsun> EloraKun: ok, sec
[12:19] <hetul_> No
[12:19] <ninnghizidha> There ist just the context-Menu, but not the default-action ... or did i oversee it?
[12:19] <McJerry> do you see the same pic on both monitor and tv?
[12:19] <gnomefreak> KatteKrab, the gaim one you can the mb beep you can turn off but i dont think you can replace it with something else (atleast i have never seen anything)
[12:19] <McJerry> or do you see your desktop on the monitor and a background only on the tv?
[12:19] <hetul_> McJerry, Yes
[12:20] <hetul_> they both have their own menu
[12:20] <crimsun> EloraKun: aha, you need 1.0.11rc2 due to a mixer snafu.
[12:20] <hetul_> it's like two computers
[12:20] <McJerry> so you are running two different x sessions
[12:20] <_jason> ninnghizidha, nope, I thought that's what you meant.  Don't know how to set the default action when you click
[12:20] <Sh4d0x> shadox reporting in
[12:20] <Sh4d0x> naverone, nwe thnxx it did worked
[12:20] <navarone> KatteKrab, try Applications/System/Configuration editor....you can find most apps in the "apps" section...for example evolution/mail/notify allows you to set a sound...but I dunno if you can set specific sounds
[12:20] <EloraKun> crimsun: uuuh. So I have to compile get the new deb and repeat...
[12:20] <ninnghizidha> to bad, but thanks for the hint, :-)
[12:20] <Sh4d0x> glad to have you guys around
[12:21] <hetul_> McJerry, i guess so,
[12:21] <r3ss>  hey, I have a question with ubuntu live cd.  It didn't detect my wireless adapter in the network config. screen.  It did, however, detect it in device manager.  I don't see any place where I could add the wireless adapter to the network manager (config)...
[12:21] <r3ss> I read the help but the screen it showed me was totally different, i.e., there were missing buttons on my screen.
[12:21] <gnomefreak> ninnghizidha, i dont think you can either but see if #xchat knows anything
[12:21] <zelevw> i just installed squid, allow my network access but the pc that is running it cannot surf the web through squid...what am i missing...i'm running ubuntu 5.10...thanks
[12:21] <_jason> ninnghizidha, actually, links do nothing when I click them.  Do you know how to *enable* a default action :P
[12:21] <crimsun> EloraKun: wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/alsa-driver/alsa-source_1.0.10+1.0.11rc2-2_all.deb && sudo dpkg -i alsa-source_1.0.10+1.0.11rc2-2_all.deb && sudo module-assistant a-i alsa-source
[12:21] <hetul_> McJerry, is there like keyboard shortcut to swith around?
[12:22] <gnomefreak> ctrl+left click on mouse will open it
[12:22] <ninnghizidha> i thought this was a bag cause of KDE ... the dont do any at my pc too
[12:22] <r3ss> anyone?
[12:23] <_jason> ninnghizidha, I think default browser corresponds to the 'Open browser' setting in that menu from before.
[12:23] <gnomefreak> i found so many different irc clients dont need to modify one i just use a diff. one
[12:23] <hetul_> McJerry,  by the way i used this guide, second part, http://wiki.edubuntu.org/NvidiaTVOut?highlight=%28nvidia%29
[12:24] <_jason> ninnghizidha, or maybe just whatever is first on the list since they are the same for me
[12:24] <crimsun> EloraKun: then verify that ``cat /proc/asound/version'' gives you 1.0.11rc2
[12:24] <Marlun> What do  I need to  be able to use the "make" command?
[12:24] <benji_> uola
[12:24] <Marlun> is it "build-essentials"?
[12:24] <McJerry> hetul_: Your first X session is accessible by pressing Alt-F7 (use the left Alt key). For your second, it's Alt-F8. For the third, Alt-F9, and so on. If you want to switch from one X screen to another, you'll have to use Ctrl-Alt and then whatever F-key you'd normally use.
[12:24] <mwe> Marlun: yeah
[12:24] <EloraKun> Marlun: Yep
[12:24] <_jason> Marlun, no 's' at the end
[12:24] <MuStR^> anyone on an iBook?
[12:24] <gnomefreak> Marlun, build-essential
[12:24] <Marlun> ah, ok, thanks! =)
[12:24] <benji_> como puedo hacer para entrar como root
[12:24] <benji_> ?
[12:24] <gnomefreak> !es
[12:24] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[12:24] <ninnghizidha> default brwoser works fine . but i dont want to use the context-menu all the time ... the must be a solution .. ill report it back if i find one, _jason
[12:24] <mwe> benji_: hvad siger du?
[12:24] <Sh4d0x> i'm rebooting once more
[12:25] <Sh4d0x> cu
[12:25] <_jason> ninnghizidha, I mean when I ctrl-click, the action corresponds to what I have listed there
[12:25] <gnomefreak> ninnghizidha, to open a link hold ctrl and left click the lick
[12:25] <Myrtti> mwe: great approach :->
[12:25] <McJerry> hetul_ unless i am reading the edubuntu guide wrong, it is setting up for twinview clone
[12:25] <lukus001> how do you run a .run file?
[12:25] <ninnghizidha> oh .. nice thing .. better than context .. but not perfect thou ..
[12:26] <ninnghizidha> :-D
[12:26] <mwe> lukus001: chmod +x it
[12:26] <mwe> lukus001: then ./file.run
[12:26] <lukus001> mwe, thanks
[12:26] <hetul_> McJerry,  i did the second part
[12:26] <McJerry> hetul_ or did you use the 'More Complicated Way' section, oh, ok
[12:26] <r3ss> blah
[12:27] <hetul_> McJerry,  the alt+Fn doen't work also Ctrl+alt+Fn either, any suggestion?

[12:29] <anna> can somebody help me please? ive got a serious problem with my harddrive
[12:29] <ninnghizidha> #xchat stated, that there is no default-action for URLs ... so ... it isnt possible to "just click"
[12:29] <zelevw> i just installed squid, allow my network access but the pc that is running it cannot surf the web through squid...what am i missing...i'm running ubuntu 5.10...thanks
[12:30] <gnomefreak> ninnghizidha, i didnt think there was
[12:30] <nalioth> ninnghizidha: they said "default action", that may mean you can make an action handler yourself (but i don't know how)
[12:31] <r3ss> is the ubuntu live cd slightly different from the install CD?
[12:31] <TorbX> hello?
[12:31] <anna> does anybody know how to mount a harddrive with ubuntu  live cd?
[12:31] <hetul_> McJerry,  ANy idea?
[12:31] <pozdiy_> installed using modules-assistant a ra2500 driver and now cannot boot the system (recovery mode does not help neither), how to solve this?
[12:32] <mwe> anna: mount /dev/hd?? /mnt/something
[12:32] <McJerry> am reading. could you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to pastebin and gimme the url?
[12:32] <KatteKrab> gnomefreak: thanks! got it sorted for now...
[12:32] <gnomefreak> not real sure what im reading but ninnghizidha did you look in the url handlers to see if you understand it?
[12:32] <KatteKrab> navarone: thanks! got it sorted :)

[12:33] <LordMelkor> you can google that
[12:33] <ninnghizidha> i read the code of the url-handlers ... but it just for costumizing the context-menu , not the default-action :-)
[12:33] <McJerry> hetul_: i gotta get back to work for a bit but will be home shortly, register your nick and pm me if you want with the pastebin url
[12:33] <MuStR^> flogiston, useradd
[12:33] <gnomefreak> adduser isnt it?

[12:34] <MuStR^> rofl

[12:35] <keyhack> I recompiled my kernel, and I added the new entry to grub.conf, but now I'm getting a kernel panic, saying specify a valid root="" parameter, but I do have one, exactly like the other entry (which still works). I also checked and my newer kernel does have ext3 built into it, which is what my root partition is. It also said: VFS: Cannot open root device "hdc1" or unknown-block(0,0)
[12:35] <elinpelin> can anyone help me, i would like to know how to change the "theme" in kubuntu? please msg me if you could help, thanks.
[12:35] <mwe> anna: got the partition name?

[12:35] <MuStR^> anyone on a freakin iBook?
[12:35] <LordMelkor> how do use nautilus scripts
[12:35] <LordMelkor> for that matter how do i install them
[12:36] <mwe> anna: if so, what is it?
[12:36] <LordMelkor> cuz i found some useful ones online but i cant figure out how to use. I saved them as text files in the nautilus script folder
[12:36] <LordMelkor> but when i right click i dont see a scripts menu
[12:36] <keyhack> anyone?
[12:36] <gerst> hi
[12:36] <TorbX> Sorry about the bumping... everytime I boot up my computer, i have to run the enable nvidia-gfx command-something, and then restart X. This I have to do in order to make my 6600 gt card function properly. Any way to avoid this?

[12:37] <patrick_> Hi, is there a way to make Ubuntu play sounds through my speakers plugged in through my headphone jack?
[12:37] <pozdiy_> !tell LordMelkor about theme
[12:37] <gerst> if i want to change a directory permissons and all files which are there is chmod 777 -R /home/joe/files ok?
[12:37] <anna> the problem is, i only have one monitor, so i have to change everytime..
[12:37] <r3ss> patrick; that seems more like a hardware issue than a software issue
[12:37] <TorbX> patrick_: search up automatix...
[12:37] <gnomefreak> !automatix
[12:37] <TorbX> it'll fix EvERYTHING for u...
[12:38] <ubotu> well, automatix is messy, breaks all sorts of security guidelines, and is not open to improvement. In short: DO NOT USE IT!
[12:38] <Cythril> I'm a complete n00b to Linux, so I dunno how to really do much in it right now.
[12:38] <TorbX> gnomefreak: I love it...!
[12:38] <Cythril> But I'd like to listen to music. :)

[12:45] <peter84> Anyone??!
[12:45] <Psi-Jack> navarone: Not yet.. Was trying to use gtranscode, and it's not working yet. heh
[12:45] <gnomefreak> LordMelkor, yes you will see it in synaptic there is also a site but i dont remember it off hand abs=advanced bash scripting guide it is very very good :)
[12:45] <_jason> LordMelkor, doh I had to make sure mine were executable, are yours?
[12:45] <LordMelkor> how do i know.. the say sh on them if thats what u mean at least 2 of 3
[12:46] <_jason> LordMelkor, ls -l ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts
[12:46] <navarone> Psi-Jack, I dunno if this has any useful info http://www.w00tlinux.com/bb/sutra39807.html
[12:46] <Aven> Hey
[12:46] <Aven> how would I make my domain work as a 'virtual host' on my machine?
[12:46] <Aven> because I have a bnc and would like it to be able to use my domain, and my domain is currently pointed to my IP
[12:46] <LordMelkor> what do i do with what i see _jason?
[12:46] <_jason> LordMelkor, actually just do 'chmod +x ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts', that should take care of it if they aren't
[12:47] <peter84> Anyone got a hint?
[12:47] <Psi-Jack> navarone: That's the wrong direction. I'm going from DVD to AVI (or more prefered, MKV, but AVI will work for now)
[12:47] <LordMelkor> ya i did that but nothing seemed to happen
[12:47] <navarone> Ahh...I am a video conversion know-nuttin' <s> sry
[12:47] <leafw> can anyone point to documentation on how to mount an hfsplus partion readonly (up to here no problem) but overriding the permissions on that partition?
[12:47] <ITSa341> Good Evening everyone
[12:48] <gnomefreak> peter84, did you try to add them back maybe by using the cd you burned?
[12:48] <LordMelkor> _jason there are still no scripts when i right click do i need to restart?
[12:48] <_jason> LordMelkor, oops, I mean 'chmod +x ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/*'
[12:48] <peter84> i cant! I dont know the the terminal command for copying
[12:48] <_jason> peter84, cp
[12:48] <gnomefreak> cp
[12:48] <_jason> ubotu, tell peter84 about cli
[12:49] <ITSa341> Anyone got a few minutes to help me with rt2570 and RaConfig2500?
[12:49] <peter84> cli?
[12:49] <LordMelkor> _jason when i do the ls -l thing everything is bright green now
[12:49] <gnomefreak> cli=command line interface
[12:49] <_jason> peter84, comand line interface
[12:49] <peter84> haha funny!
[12:49] <gnomefreak> read the pm ubotu sent you please
[12:49] <LordMelkor> OOH it works!

[12:55] <ubuntu007> off the cd
[12:55] <_jason> lukus001, what folder are you copying to that you don't have permission to
[12:55] <ITSa341> it will format during install    live cd and install cd are not exactly the same

[12:57] <dabaR> stevr1it: well. DO this: CLick : Applications>Accessories>Terminal, and then type in "sudo ls" and type in your own password when asked for one. Tell me whether that accepts your password.
[12:57] <redguy> ubuntu007: you're using the live cd or dvd?
[12:57] <ubuntu007> cd
[12:57] <phildini> Anyone know how to get a PS/2 optical mouse to stop jumping to the top of the screen?
[12:57] <navarone> ubuntu007, you may have a prob with video after install...I did...but it is easily resolved once you get here for help...I would suggest trying to make a seperate /home partition during install...will make things easier if things go pearshaped...everything else seems okay...maybe google a bit or check forums to see how other people have fared as well
[12:58] <ubuntu007> i think
[12:58] <stevr1it> now i undestand, it does not recognise some letters
[12:58] <stevr1it> oh ghosh this is throblem
[12:58] <ubuntu007> ok but where do i go to get it started installing
[12:58] <dabaR> stevr1it: may well be, yes(the keyboard)
[12:58] <redguy> ubuntu007: you can't install from the live cd
[12:58] <adub> sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Jan 13 17:01:43 2006    why do i get this message
[12:58] <stevr1it> look when i want to say assword m, you see one letter is missing
[12:58] <ubuntu007> ouhh you cant
[12:58] <ubuntu007> ??
[12:58] <phildini> Anyone know how to get a PS/2 optical mouse to stop jumping to the top of the screen?
[12:58] <stevr1it> how to restore it?
[12:58] <ubuntu007> darn
[12:59] <navarone> ubuntu007 you need the install cd...and set your bios to boot from cd first...then you are off to the races
[12:59] <redguy> ubuntu007: you can install from the live dvd or the install cd
[12:59] <F43RY> Sorry but none of you can suggest me an application to make DVD from avi? Possibly downloadable from synaptic
[12:59] <_jason> adub, hey someone had that problem this morning... let's see if I can remember what they did
[12:59] <stevr1it> only one letter
[12:59] <dabaR> adub: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure ntpdate" try that, that will fix your system time. do "date" in a terminal first to see whether your time is wrong.
[12:59] <ubuntu007> if i have no dvd player then its cd isnt it??
[12:59] <navarone> yes
[12:59] <dabaR> stevr1it: there is a character map as one of the accessibility apps, that you could use to copy and paste the character.
[12:59] <ubuntu007> ok thanks folks
[12:59] <redguy> ubuntu007: yuppers
[12:59] <stevr1it> i try
[01:00] <stevr1it> but the roblem remains, how to solve it?
[01:00] <ubuntu007> i got fedora core 4 comeing to me in the mail
[01:00] <dabaR> stevr1it: fix your keyboard.
[01:00] <ubuntu007> its pretty good isnt it??
[01:00] <stevr1it> fix? what does it menas?
[01:00] <navarone> ubuntu007...don't rush into it...like I said browse forums and see what problems people may have...google "grub" as well...coz it maybe your best friend or worse enemy...lol
[01:01] <navarone> never used fedora
[01:01] <dabaR> stevr1it: get a new keyboard, or something. Test it first on another computer or OS.
[01:01] <stevr1it> this is a lato
[01:01] <ubuntu007> well im a linux noob and all i want is one kind or another of linux to run on this hard drive
[01:01] <theverant> if I use noauto or auto in fstab, is that referring to auto mounting the device?
[01:01] <ubuntu007> so i can leanr about it
[01:01] <dabaR> stevr1it: do you have Windows installed still?
[01:01] <stevr1it> thi sis not a deskto but a la to
[01:01] <phildini> Anyone know how to get a PS/2 optical mouse to stop jumping to the top of the screen?
[01:01] <MuStR^> ubuntu007, what's the problem?
[01:01] <redguy> F43RY: hyrm, dvd-author maybe? don't remeber if it can reencode stuff... if not - transcode or mencoder can do that for you. use google to get more info
[01:02] <tktktk> how do I setup iptables to start on bootup?
[01:02] <stevr1it> i have windos on grub
[01:02] <_jason> tktktk, done
[01:02] <ubuntu007> cant install ubun off the cd i have

[01:02] <F43RY> thx redguy
[01:02] <MuStR^> ubuntu007, what problem specifically are you having?
[01:02] <dabaR> stevr1it: well, you could test with the Ubuntu Live CD, do you have that?
[01:02] <navarone> ubuntu007 you need to dl and burn the install iso
[01:02] <redguy> F43RY: or was it dvdauthor
[01:02] <stevr1it> installer. i try with windows to see if the roblem remain, yes

[01:02] <dabaR> bye
[01:02] <ubuntu007> i dont have the install cd i have a live cd i didnt know i couldnt install with the cd i got
[01:03] <F43RY> i try to search
[01:03] <ubuntu007> ok
[01:03] <ubuntu007> im gonna go try that now
[01:03] <ubuntu007> this live cd will operate my burner i think
[01:03] <navarone> ubuntu007...you can order the cd for free and it will be shipped to you if you cannot get it from online
[01:04] <sagarp> how can i install just ONE program from dapper? for example i just want to install dapper's version of evolution, so can i do: apt-get install dapper -t dapper?
[01:04] <ubuntu007> is this linux a good one for a noob to learn from???
[01:04] <MuStR^> yes
[01:04] <dabaR> sagarp: you should compile.
[01:04] <phildini> Anyone know how to get a PS/2 optical mouse to stop jumping to the top of the screen?
[01:04] <navarone> ubuntu007 yes
[01:04] <miguel> hola
[01:04] <sagarp> apt-get install evolution -t dapper***
[01:04] <Amaranth> sagarp: sudo apt-get install evolution/dapper
[01:04] <mwe> sagarp: you shouldn't mix releases
[01:04] <ubuntu007> okie and when i download it do i extract it to the cd or do i put the whole thing on there
[01:04] <dabaR> sagarp: otherwise it will likely break some packages.
[01:04] <sagarp> dabar: i tried that using checkinstall, but when i ran evolution it said it cant run because it's using a different configuartion than my system or osmething
[01:05] <Amaranth> sagarp: you have to setup dapper repos in your sources.list
[01:05] <theine> sagarp, that's complicated by evolution having quite a few dependencies that would need to be update as well
[01:05] <theine> updated
[01:05] <navarone> ubuntu007 you burn the image file to the cd so that you can boot from it
[01:05] <Dreamglider> how can i install a rpm file on ubuntu ?
[01:05] <Amaranth> Dreamglider: alien
[01:05] <sagarp> =/
[01:05] <adub> sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Jan 13 17:01:43 2006    why do i get this message
[01:05] <ubuntu007> ok i just burn what i download to a cd??
[01:05] <dabaR> Dreamglider: is the program not in ubuntu? you checked universe/multiverse?
[01:05] <ubuntu007> i dont have to uncopres??
[01:05] <navarone> ubuntu007 yes
[01:05] <sagarp> well specifically my problem is that when i try to run the calendar on evolution, it crashes..i figured if i upgraded it , it would work
[01:05] <redguy> Dreamglider: you don't want to do that
[01:05] <ubuntu007> ok then thanks
[01:05] <dabaR> adub: I told you. Do you know how to open a terminal?
[01:05] <mwe> Dreamglider: installing debs created from rpms with alien can hose your system. be careful
[01:06] <redguy> ubuntu007: you don't download it as a file
[01:06] <butcherbird> ubuntu007: burn as image dont just burn the file
[01:06] <redguy> ubuntu007: you burn it as a disk image
[01:06] <adub> dabar yes i am in a terminal now
[01:06] <ubuntu007> ok gotcha

[01:06] <ubuntu007> i like the way you guys help people out even not so smart noobs like myself
[01:06] <Dreamglider> ok ok, is there any deb file for synergy ?
[01:06] <mwe> !tell tristanmike about fixres
[01:06] <egon_spengler> tristanmike, That would be xorg.conf
[01:06] <dabaR> Dreamglider: "/msg ubotu info synergy"
[01:07] <dabaR> ubotu: tell Dreamglider about ask the bot
[01:07] <Sammi> Can someone help me set up my broadband on my ubuntu?
[01:07] <adub> oh i think i see i changed the time to be correct time and it messed thing up im thinking
[01:07] <tristanmike> egon_spengler, your sure that xorg.conf controls the Logon screen? I had the same problem with my desktop, but changing the resolution hasn't affected the logon screen
[01:07] <adub> Fri Jan 13 06:03:14 UTC 2006
[01:07] <dabaR> ubuntu007: others do not need help really.
[01:07] <Moratorium> anybody have any ideas on why ny bloody touchpad isnt working
[01:08] <adub> sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Jan 13 17:01:43 2006
[01:08] <_jason> adub, try sudo -K, that should destroy the timestamp and then run sudo again
[01:08] <mwe> Moratorium: still not working?
[01:08] <dfgas> tristanmike: its not gonna change the login
[01:08] <Moratorium> yip
[01:08] <Sammi> Anyone at all?
[01:08] <adub> do i have to always use su do
[01:08] <ubuntu007> lol
[01:08] <adub> sudo
[01:08] <tristanmike> dfgas, I didn't think so, how do I change that?
[01:08] <dfgas> tristanmike: you need to edit xorg.conf to change everything
[01:08] <Moratorium> and I've installed the synaptics drivers
[01:08] <Sammi> I am familiar with the Bash shell, so that won't be a problem.
[01:08] <mwe> adub: use sudo -i to get a root prompt if you need to do a lot as root
[01:08] <lukus001> does anyone have a quake3 CD?
[01:08] <Moratorium> and the bloody xorg.conf must be right
[01:08] <redguy> Sammi: what kind of service are you using?
[01:08] <dabaR> adub:have you tried running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure ntpdate"? Oh, ya that won't work.
[01:08] <dfgas> tristanmike: the screen resloution in your login is just for you
[01:09] <dfgas> tristanmike: nothing else
[01:09] <Moratorium> I've been over the file about 20 times
[01:09] <tktktk> iptables didn't save my last changes
[01:09] <tktktk> how can I make it save the changes I make with /sbin/iptables -A blah bah blah
[01:09] <Sammi> redguy: I have roadrunner, using a wireless hub, but I am directly hardwired to the hub with a cat 5
[01:09] <Sammi> Well, I will be in 2 seconds.
[01:09] <dabaR> Sammi: roadrunner is cable Internet?
[01:09] <adub> beautiful yeah i practically live in root so sudo -i is the ticket
[01:10] <_jason> adub, the timestamp complaint went away?
[01:10] <dabaR> adub: run dpkg-reconfigure ntpdate as root, see whether that change4s your time.
[01:10] <adub> and i am way glad to be a part of this community there is a wealth of support here i see
[01:10] <F43RY> ok, gotta go, thx for your helps
[01:10] <mwe> adub: you know you should only use root when you can't avoid it, right?
[01:10] <redguy> tktktk: generally you create a shell script to do what you want with iptables
[01:10] <adub> _jason su -i lets me have a root prompt and run commands
[01:10] <tktktk> redguy, where do I put it to have it start on boot?
[01:10] <adub> mwe yes i know
[01:10] <adub> but i am dealing with a fresh install so i have to apt-get a lot of things
[01:10] <MuStR^> anyone using an iBook?
[01:11] <MuStR^> or powerbook
[01:11] <lukus001> does anyone have quake 3 installed?
[01:11] <adub> i only use root at the command line anyway
[01:11] <mwe> adub: yeah
[01:11] <Sammi> Well, crap, it doesn;'t have a freakin ethernet card!
[01:11] <navarone> MuStR, no but what is the prob...maybe Uncle Google could help...?
[01:11] <pete_a> ok, BIG TIME rookie mistake.  I accidently removed the firefox dir under /opt
[01:11] <MuStR^> navarone, I'm having an absurd problem with ndiswrapper installation
[01:11] <MuStR^> navarone, basically trying to get my airport (wireless card) working
[01:11] <pete_a> After your done laughing, can some please tell me how I reinstall firefox
[01:12] <MuStR^> and it's unsupported.
[01:12] <MuStR^> and ndiswrapper isn't installing.
[01:12] <navarone> airport? brandname?
[01:12] <_jason> pete_a, just do the same thing you did when you put it there, you used the wiki page right?
[01:12] <mwe> pete_a: like you did the first time :)
[01:12] <MuStR^> broadcom
[01:12] <dfgas> pete_a: lol
[01:12] <Sammi> Sorry to waste your time, doesn't have a god damn ehternet card..
[01:12] <redguy> tktktk: you have to put it in /etc/init.d. Use /etc/init.d/skeleton as a template for your script. It has to understand at least 'start' and 'stop'
[01:12] <mwe> !tell pete_a about ff1.5
[01:12] <MuStR^> navarone, there is a plethora of information about it on google, I just can't get ndiswrapper going
[01:12] <Dreamglider> is there a gui for synergy ?
[01:12] <MuStR^> \=
[01:12] <stevr1it> I have a letter of the ty ewrite which does not work and it is only in this ubuntu eand not in windows
[01:12] <stevr1it> what can i do?
[01:13] <dfgas> !tell dfgas about ff1.5
[01:13] <redguy> tktktk: when you have it working you can then use update-rc.d to make it run on boot
[01:13] <pete_a> all:  should i try to install 1.07 or 1.5?
[01:13] <sagarp> hmm if i dist-upgrade to dapper now, will it be the same as flight2 or whatever?
[01:13] <mwe> pete_a: whatever suits you
[01:13] <navarone> MuStR, are you using dapper or breezy?
[01:13] <_jason> pete_a, you shouldn't remove 1.07
[01:13] <stevr1it> hte letter l m n o _ q   (missing)
[01:13] <MuStR^> navarone: breezy
[01:13] <Ng> pete_a: synaptic can reinstall a package, which you should do anyway, but 1.5 is nicer if you can be arsed with the wiki instructions :)
[01:13] <redguy> tktktk: there is a simpler way perhaps though
[01:13] <tktktk> redguy, thanks -- I plan to make them just calls to iptable-restore and iptable-save ... which then brings on the question of where I shuld store my iptabes file -- is there some standard place?
[01:13] <Ng> stevr1it: p? ;)
[01:13] <stevr1it> yes
[01:14] <stevr1it> and it works with windows, so it is not hardware
[01:14] <Ng> that's really the most bizarrely specific problem I've ever seen someone mention ;o
[01:14] <navarone> I have a thread on forum...but I think it is dapper oriented
[01:14] <theverant> anyone know why breezy would not install on my system when dapper does without a hitch?  I tried breezer AMD64 and i386 and it hangs in the same spot, gives me a disk read error...
[01:14] <pete_a> how do i reinstall with synaptic.  i tried, but it didn't seem to get me anywhere?
[01:14] <CanYouHelpMePlz> FreeSans is a great font.
[01:14] <MuStR^> navarone, is dapper the latest?
[01:14] <mwe> untar to /opt; dpkg-divert; ln -s. pretty easy
[01:15] <theverant> MuStR^ - dapper is currently in alpha testing
[01:15] <redguy> tktktk: explain 'iptables file'. you mean the binary?? the iptables program itself??
[01:15] <stevr1it> this letter  p is misisng in my ty pewrite, what can i do?
[01:15] <ubuntu007> is i 586 for a amd computer???
[01:16] <redguy> ubuntu007: which amd?
[01:16] <redguy> ubuntu007: k6, k7, atlhon ?
[01:16] <theverant> actually is the kubuntu I was trying to install Breezy.
[01:16] <phos-phoros> is k7 preferred for the athlon xp, and k8 for x64?
[01:16] <adub> heh i cant find what to apt-get install for mozilla firefox
[01:16] <mwe> phos-phoros: yeah
[01:16] <redguy> theverant: no difference
[01:16] <phos-phoros> thanks
[01:16] <theverant> I wonder why it hangs though
[01:16] <MuStR^> adub, apt-get install firefox
[01:16] <MuStR^> :o
[01:16] <theverant> it's so weird
[01:16] <tktktk> redguy, the file X, for /sbin/iptables-save > X; and /sbin/iptables-restore < X
[01:16] <ubuntu007> k7
[01:17] <navarone> MuStR, yes it is...I just saw a thread I will paste http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-862.html  < -- look for wmealing...doesn't look good for you though...:/
[01:17] <ubuntu007> it dont matter i allready started download
[01:17] <tigris> anyone sold the question of using a kobian-mercury tvcard before
[01:17] <stevr1it> any hel p?
[01:17] <pete_a> Ng:  I tried System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager.  Selected Reinstall for firefox, firefox gnome support and mozilla-firefox-local-en-gb and hit Apply.  Do i need to do anything else?
[01:17] <MuStR^> thanks, navaron...I appreciate it
[01:17] <navarone> np
[01:17] <ubuntu007> see if my burner will burn it
[01:17] <navarone> stevr1it, looks like your "p" key is working now
[01:17] <theverant> is anyone using cinelerra 2 on breezy/dapper?
[01:17] <adub> gosh im loving this distribution so far
[01:18] <stevr1it> no i am suing ctrl v
[01:18] <Ng> pete_a: that should be it for 1.0.7
[01:18] <stevr1it> using
[01:18] <navarone> lol
[01:18] <Hoxzer> is there any email client that automaticaly splits email if it exeeds the servers limit?
[01:18] <stevr1it>  please i need hel p
[01:18] <ubuntu007> gonna give this mandia a good looking over
[01:18] <mwe> pete_a: did you install firefox 1.5 before following the wiki
[01:18] <stevr1it> my  p is not working
[01:19] <Dreamglider> mwe, you said deb's made from rpm's can mess up my system right ?
[01:19] <mwe> Dreamglider: potetially, yes
[01:19] <pete_a> mwe: Yes, but I've been trying to track down an issue and consequently screwing everything up
[01:19] <navarone> MuStR, sry...i know nada about ndiswrapper as well
[01:19] <stevr1it> navarone what can i do?
[01:19] <redguy> tktktk: ah, I understand. Can't help you on the location. If you really want to do it the proper way you might want to read the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS). I would put it somewhere in /var/...
[01:19] <mwe> pete_a: you probably used dpkg-divert in the process
[01:20] <pete_a> mwe:  it just gets worse and worse.  not a good day in whoville
[01:20] <navarone> stevr1it, how old is the laptop?
[01:20] <Dreamglider> ok so i better remove the installed version of synergy made from an rpm
[01:20] <mwe> pete_a: so the firefox executable is renamed
[01:20] <stevr1it> new, and it wirks with windows and ubuntulive
[01:20] <stevr1it> works
[01:20] <navarone> stevr1it, do you have proper keyboard map in use?
[01:20] <ubuntu007> mandriva lets see what thats all about
[01:20] <pete_a> mwe:  ok,.  to what where?
[01:20] <stevr1it> only with this ubuntu installation
[01:20] <stevr1it> how cn i check?
[01:20] <mwe> pete_a: sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/bin/firefox will get it back
[01:21] <stevr1it> Where can i controll it?
[01:21] <pete_a> mwe:  i'll try that,... thanks for now.
[01:22] <stevr1it> it was  perfect untill today, and it is not a haerdware roblem
[01:22] <cyphase> :P
[01:23] <pete_a> mwe:  i got the following:  Removing `local diversion of /usr/bin/firefox to /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu'
[01:23] <pete_a> dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting `/usr/bin/firefox' with
[01:23] <pete_a>   different file `/usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu', not allowed
[01:23] <pete_a> mwe:  does that seem right?
[01:23] <mwe> pete_a: sudo rm /usr/bin/firefox first
[01:23] <Wanted> hello ubuntulandia
[01:23] <mwe> pete_a: it's should be a broken symlink
[01:23] <navarone> stevr1it, could you paste your xorg.conf to pastebin so we can look at your keyboard section?

[01:24] <Moratorium> ok, my touch pad works under the live CD but I have no clue how to get it working on my actual install
[01:24] <pete_a> mwe:  done.  then should i reinstall via synaptic b4 i use the wiki to get 1.5?
[01:25] <pete_a> mew: or is that already done?
[01:25] <stevr1it> i whent on preference - typewrite and i have changed it
[01:25] <navarone> Hoxzer, for mailing attachments you mean?
[01:25] <pete_a> mwe: or is that already done?
[01:25] <mwe> pete_a: see if it works now. if not reinstall it

[01:29] <Hoxzer> Navarone :D
[01:29] <tktktk> when is network started in ubuntu? (need to start iptables before then)
[01:29] <SweetestSavage> Anyone know a workaround for this problem in Archive Manager: Failed to execute process "/bin/sh" (Argument list too long)
[01:29] <Moratorium> ok, why would the live cd work with no problems as opposed to my install which is giving me touchpad and USB problems??
[01:29] <kenh> Anyone installed ubuntu 5.10 on a fujitsu-siemens amilo M4438?
[01:29] <Wanted> exscusme i have a problem with my webcam
[01:30] <Hoxzer> navarone: it's like newsgroups, webmail server are not meant to be for warez but you can nowdays easily download files from them and then merge them together

[01:31] <tonyyarusso> I'm having trouble playing a playlist from console.  It's .m3u, but the content is just a plain text list of files.  It works if in Gnome I right click > Open with (any media player).  Using mplayer in console, I get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7126.  Can someone diagnose this please?
[01:31] <KasperTech> How come Fluxbox's running very bad on my Ubuntu Laptop :( ?
[01:32] <iluminate> phildini: stuck on top of screen or randomly jumps?
[01:32] <Moratorium> how can I access my ntfs partitions on ubuntu?
[01:32] <dabaR> KasperTech: give it steroids, it may run a little better.
[01:32] <tonyyarusso> !tell Moratorium about ntfs
[01:32] <K_Dallas> Moratorium, man mount
[01:33] <Klementas> is there a version of Gaim that is compiled without the esound/gnomelibs crap ?
[01:33] <phildini> iluminae: randomly jumps
[01:33] <redguy> !tell Moratorium about ntfs
[01:33] <dabaR> KasperTech: on the other hand, what do you mean run badly?
[01:33] <redguy> oops
[01:33] <KasperTech> dabaR: It's as slow as Windows... lagging everytime I move a window.
[01:33] <KasperTech> 5 sec. delay for mouseclick menu
[01:34] <zcat[1] > what's the script that adds w32 + java + flash + all that stuff ..
[01:34] <dabaR> KasperTech: open a terminal, run "top" and see what process is on the top. Fell free to paste the output to paste.ubuntu-nl.org if you can't figure it out.
[01:34] <Moratorium> ok what r u on about redguy?
[01:34] <mwe> KasperTech: what kind of processor, how much ram?
[01:34] <dabaR> zcat[1] : it is called "Synaptic"+dpkg. Maybe you mean easyubuntu?
[01:34] <theine> dabaR, how do you actually post the output of top?
[01:34] <KasperTech> mwe: Intel P4 M, 512 DDR.
[01:34] <lukus001> Guys, i've broken my ubuntu! lol I just restarted and when i logged in i got some crap about Xserver session didn't last for 10 seconds, then it had an error output and then "OK" kicks me back out to the start screen
[01:34] <dabaR> copy and paste.
[01:34] <KasperTech> dabaR: Ok.
[01:35] <navarone> Moratorium, you would only have read access to ntfs...writing is not fully supported
[01:35] <iluminate> phildini: I have the same problem. think it is a mouse issue not Ubuntu.
[01:35] <redguy> Moratorium: read what ubotu told you
[01:35] <zcat[1] > there's a script that does it all for you.. I'll google easyubuntu..
[01:35] <mwe> KasperTech: not the problem then
[01:35] <theine> dabaR, pheew...
[01:35] <Dreamglider> can anyone help me setup synergy ?
[01:35] <Moratorium> oh,sorry, i didnt notice the bots pm
[01:35] <sorush20> how do I add a .zip file to a html
[01:35] <majd> lukus001, go on msn
[01:35] <theine> dabaR, I sure hope there's a --dump option or something...
[01:35] <adub>  An error occurred while loading media:/sda1:        The file or folder media:/sda1 does not exist.     <---- i get that error message when insert my flash drive??
[01:35] <phildini> ilumninate: any suggestions, then?
[01:35] <KasperTech> mwe: But me graphic card is ATI (awful, I know).
[01:35] <majd> wine keeps locking up on me when i load steam
[01:36] <majd> is there a way to fix it?
[01:36] <redguy> sorush20: what???
[01:36] <mwe> KasperTech: I have ati too it works great
[01:36] <tktktk> how can I get my old iptables to loadup on stratup of ubuntu ?
[01:36] <sorush20> redguy: don't worry
[01:36] <KasperTech> mwe: Okay, well even with direct rendering enabled I don't get more than 2k fps in fx glxgears. :(
[01:37] <mwe> tktktk: iptables -restore asuming you used iptables -store
[01:37] <lukus001> I can no longer log into my user account, some crap about Xsession lasted no longer than 10 seconds and gave some errors about IDE and other stuff and keeps kicking back into the login screen
[01:37] <mwe> tktktk: you can put the command in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
[01:37] <tktktk> mwe, where do I put this to have it executed; ah; thanks
[01:37] <theine> KasperTech, aren't 2000 fps quite a lot actually?
[01:37] <tktktk> mwe, does this load up before network does?
[01:37] <majd> lukus001, why don't you try re-installing it?
[01:37] <majd> might work
[01:38] <keleksi> low :(
[01:38] <KasperTech> theine: Well I thought so, but then it might not be "fps"... see the average is 6k.
[01:39] <theine> KasperTech, where is it stated what the average is?
[01:39] <Dreamglider> how can i see where synergys is installed ?
[01:39] <theine> KasperTech, not that I don't want to believe you, but I'd be interested to find out...
[01:39] <KasperTech> theine: In the readme of glxgears and on the ubuntuforums, where people pastes their achievements.
[01:39] <adub>  An error occurred while loading media:/sda1:        The file or folder media:/sda1 does not exist.     <---- i get that error message when insert my flash drive??
[01:39] <mwe> woah: 48945 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9788.904 FPS
[01:39] <KasperTech> theine: :)
[01:39] <mwe> it's a bad benchmark
[01:39] <theine> KasperTech, ah, ok
[01:40] <mwe> that's with a 64mb card
[01:40] <vir_> anyone any good with hardware help ?
[01:40] <KasperTech> mwe: lol, mine's 128.
[01:40] <theine> KasperTech, that's *a lot* more that I get...
[01:40] <dabaR> vir_: you would have to state what you would like.
[01:40] <KasperTech> And it runs like... a 1/4 of that.
[01:40] <mwe> KasperTech: not accelerated then. try minimizign the window
[01:40] <adub> does anyone know anything on the above
[01:40] <KasperTech> theine: What do you get?
[01:40] <mwe> KasperTech: make the window really small and try again
[01:40] <vir_> i'm having problems with sound right now
[01:41] <Moratorium> ok, does anybody have suggestions on how I can go about getting the touch pad working?
[01:41] <theine> KasperTech, I did hear somewhere that glxgears isn't actually a very good benchmark though
[01:41] <KasperTech> mwe: Okay, but it doesn't print the fps anymore... what's the option for that`
[01:41] <tonyyarusso> I'm getting an error from mplayer (in console only) that /usr/lib/win32/avisynth.dll failed to load (it doesn't exist).  Why?  (I have w32codecs installed, and it works graphically.)
[01:41] <ElBarono> 2/
[01:41] <dabaR> adub: sounds like a bug with Ubuntu, but not sure. it says exactly "media:/sda1?
[01:41] <theine> KasperTech, let me check
[01:41] <KasperTech> theine: Okay.
[01:41] <metagroboliser> PLS HELP w/ GRUB: have grub/ubuntu on sda2, doze on sdb1(hd1,0), can't get grub to boot doze ... says NTLDR not found .... bios boot order has sdb first and has no trouble booting directly into doze ... any thoughts on what to do?
[01:41] <vir_> heres a paste bin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7127
[01:41] <mwe> Moratorium: glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark
[01:41] <mwe> Moratorium: it's not a joke
[01:41] <tonyyarusso> Actually, I take that back.
[01:42] <tonyyarusso> It worked in a different player graphically, but that one won't let me run in on the command line.
[01:42] <adub> yes, now that is two different lines the big space  i didnt want to do a channel flood
[01:42] <dabaR> mwe: I hear there is -showfps
[01:42] <Moratorium> does it need to be run in root
[01:42] <athlon> hi, I am thinking about allowing access to my ftp / www server based on IP address. If for example I allow IP 1.2.3.4 to access my ftp could somebody inside the subdomain whose ip is 1.2.3.5 simply "ifconfig" his IP to 1.2.3.4 and crack into my server ?
[01:42] <mwe> dabaR: not anymore
[01:42] <tonyyarusso> Graphically it wants ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf.
[01:42] <majd> how can i turn offline mode on?
[01:42] <tktktk> how do I ensure iptable-restore gets executed before network starts?
[01:42] <mwe> dabaR: they changed it because everyone used it as benchmark
[01:43] <theine> KasperTech, hmmm, glxgears doesn't produce any terminal output here so I can't figure out how many fps I get...
[01:43] <adub> dabar do you have any recommendations
[01:43] <KasperTech> theine: Ye, my prob. exactly. :)
[01:43] <theine> KasperTech, are you running Dapper?
[01:43] <mwe> dabaR: and resizing the window or changing resolution drastically changes the result. thats why it's a bad benchmark
[01:43] <metagroboliser> Pls help w/ GRUB: can't load win ... NRLDR not found ...
[01:43] <vir_> theine, you need to use the switch to get the output
[01:43] <Moratorium> now what mwe?
[01:43] <Eleaf> hey hey
[01:43] <KasperTech> theine: No, what's that?
[01:43] <mwe> Moratorium: ?
[01:43] <Eleaf> lol
[01:44] <theine> vir_, I'd love to use a switch but which one?
[01:44] <majd> how can i turn offline mode on?
[01:44] <theine> KasperTech, Ubuntu development version
[01:44] <Eleaf> Does startx use  a different X config file than kdm/gdm??
[01:44] <Eleaf> !
[01:44] <ubotu> Eleaf: I'm not sure, is it larger than a breadbox?
[01:44] <KasperTech> theine: Oh, no... I'm running Breezy stable.
[01:44] <vir_> glxgears -showfps
[01:44] <Moratorium> I ran glxgears
[01:44] <Eleaf> ubotu, yes
[01:44] <ubotu> Yes, yes! Yes indeed. Who would have thunk it, eh, eleaf?
[01:44] <theine> vir_, thanks!
[01:44] <mwe> Moratorium: yes
[01:44] <KasperTech> Thanks vir_.
[01:44] <Moratorium> now what?
[01:44] <vir_> will give you a output to terminal
[01:44] <mwe> Moratorium: watch it
[01:44] <mwe> Moratorium: or close it
[01:45] <vir_> :)
[01:45] <Moratorium> it just gave me a bunch of options on the usage
[01:45] <theine> vir_, Warrning: unknown parameter: -showfps
[01:45] <vir_> grrr
[01:45] <Kovecses> what r we talking about?
[01:45] <vir_> won't be a sec
[01:45] <mwe> Moratorium: then you typed the wrong command I think
[01:45] <Moratorium> i typed what u said
[01:45] <vir_> glxgears -printfps
[01:45] <mwe> Moratorium: breezy?
[01:46] <mwe> vir_: that wont work
[01:46] <mwe> vir_: glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark
[01:46] <Kovecses> yeah glxgears sucks *****
[01:46] <Moratorium> Im running 5.04
[01:46] <theine> vir_, the switch is -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark
[01:46] <Kovecses> why no 5.10
[01:46] <theine> vir_, no kidding
[01:46] <Moratorium> cant get hold of a copy
[01:46] <vir_> mwe & theine  there are two switches
[01:47] <mwe> Kovecses: it's ok for testing if glx is working and trying different things on your own system. that's it
[01:47] <vir_> :)
[01:47] <Kovecses> i agree
[01:47] <mwe> vir_: not anymore I think
[01:47] <majd> how can i turn offline mode on?
[01:47] <vir_> there was the other day
[01:47] <Kovecses> Moratorium, just upgrade
[01:47] <mwe> vir_: well I take it back
[01:47] <mwe> vir_: just tried
[01:47] <vir_> and when i mean the other day i mean yesterday :D
[01:47] <Moratorium> how do you suggest I upgrade?
[01:48] <Kovecses> !upgrade
[01:48] <ubotu> The guide to upgrading to breezy (5.10) is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade
[01:48] <tonyyarusso> Where are fonts stored by default?
[01:48] <mwe> vir_: like I said I take it back :)
[01:48] <Kovecses> Moratorium, ^^^^
[01:48] <Kovecses> Moratorium, very easy
[01:48] <erUSUL> glxgears -printfps is way shorter
[01:48] <Infernall> I just installed ubuntu server 5.10, but cant find the package containing mkraid.
[01:48] <finfin> hi, in one line, is it normal dapper has problems finding 5 debs in update?
[01:49] <vir_> hehehe i know i just i typed it and well couldn't be bothered to backspace
[01:49] <Infernall> mkraid doesnt seem to be installed by default.
[01:49] <Moratorium> Would I not require a 5.10 cd for that Kovecses?
[01:50] <lukus> I've messed up my Xserver for my user account - how can i fix it?
[01:50] <adub>  An error occurred while loading media:/sda1:        The file or folder media:/sda1 does not exist.     <---- i get that error message when insert my flash drive??
[01:50] <Kovecses> Moratorium, once you install ubuntu in thoery you will never have to again... so no you just need an internet connection
[01:50] <tonyyarusso> As in, where does fonts:/// point?
[01:51] <Moratorium> well, I cant setup internet without a working touch pad or mouse Kovecses
[01:51] <Infernall> hrmm
[01:51] <Kovecses> Moratorium, why not?
[01:51] <theine> Infernall, are you sure the binary is called mkraid? A binary with this name doesn't exist in the entire Ubuntu repositories (the breezy ones at least)
[01:51] <Infernall> how do i find which package contains mkraid?
[01:51] <Moratorium> because, I like to be able to move my pointer
[01:51] <theine> Infernall, on http://packages.ubuntu.com
[01:52] <finfin> is there a fridge chan?
[01:52] <Infernall> theine - yes
[01:52] <Infernall> theine - i've used it in gentoo too, its for software raid.
[01:52] <theine> Infernall, maybe there is another solution that replaces mkraid
[01:52] <Sionide> how do you make a new samba username and password again?
[01:52] <Sionide> !samba
[01:52] <ubotu> somebody said samba was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SettingUpSamba or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[01:52] <wckdkl0wn> i am having problems accessing my dvd drive.. i put in a dvd that i know has files on it but linux doesnt see anything on it
[01:52] <HymnToLife> which package do I neet to install to get the glib comand working ?
[01:52] <Infernall> theine, any suggestions?
[01:53] <HymnToLife> I'm trying to build xchat
[01:53] <Glenn\> !np
[01:53] <ubotu> Glenn\: What?
[01:53] <finfin> !fridge
[01:53] <ubotu> finfin: Are you on ritalin?
[01:53] <Moratorium> !synaptics
[01:53] <ubotu> NO SPEAKE ENLISH!, Moratorium
[01:53] <Glenn\> !fish
[01:53] <finfin> !ritalin
[01:53] <ubotu> I heard fish is A way to access another computer's files using a simple SSH shell account and standard UNIX utilities on the remote side.
[01:53] <theine> Infernall, I'd google for "Ubuntu software raid howto" or something... ;)
[01:53] <finfin> !ritalin
[01:53] <Moratorium> !touchpad
[01:53] <ubotu> Moratorium: I give up, what is it?
[01:53] <finfin> !ritalin
[01:53] <sorush20> how can I get new sony walkman support
[01:53] <Kovecses> Moratorium, its synaptic
[01:53] <Kovecses> !synaptic
[01:53] <Moratorium> !synaptic
[01:53] <ubotu> I guess synaptic is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto
[01:53] <_jason> HymnToLife, sudo apt-get build-dep xchat
[01:53] <wckdkl0wn> how do i mount my cdrom in terminal?
[01:53] <Infernall> theine, thanks but thats the first thing i did.
[01:54] <wckdkl0wn> what command
[01:54] <theine> Infernall, nothing useful?
[01:54] <Kovecses> Moratorium, so your mouse dont work??? thats odd
[01:54] <Infernall> theine i got to where i needed mkraid
[01:54] <finfin> !fridge
[01:54] <lukus> I have a problem with Xserver starting up with my user account, and i can nolonger log in?
[01:54] <ubotu> Wish i knew, finfin
[01:54] <tonyyarusso> Can mplayer play a playlist file?
[01:54] <theine> Infernall, hmmm
[01:54] <Moratorium> the touch pad wont work
[01:55] <Moratorium> it does under the live cd tho
[01:55] <Dave|id2> crimsun, you around?
[01:55] <Moratorium> all usb devices including my mouse also hang the ubuntu system when plugged in
[01:55] <tonyyarusso> Does anyone have the file /usr/lib/win32/avisynth.dll or /usr/local/lib/win32/avisynth.dll?
[01:56] <wckdkl0wn> will ubuntu see mutisession cd's that were created in winxp?
[01:56] <Moratorium> but that too works fine under the live cd?
[01:56] <Kovecses> Moratorium, really? now thats really strange.... if you go into your livecd and put your xorg.conf onto like a floppy or thumb drive then install ubuntu and use the saved one ... or just look at the differences it may work
[01:56] <Moratorium> is that the only config file needed kovecses?
[01:56] <Kovecses> Moratorium, i think so
[01:57] <theine> wckdkl0wn, very likely, yes
[01:57] <Moratorium> I'll cross refrence it now
[01:57] <tonyyarusso> Alternatively, could someone help me use VLC in the console?
[01:57] <tonyyarusso> (Says could not open display.)
[01:57] <Moratorium> is there anyway I can check both xorg.conf under the live cd
[01:57] <Kovecses> Moratorium, are you familiar with linux?
[01:58] <Moratorium> not really
[01:58] <finfin> tonyyarusso: with 0.8.4a it uses ascii mode
[01:58] <Kovecses> there is a way but is complicated and I dont feel like typing it all
[01:58] <Nameeater> !mysql
[01:58] <ubotu> well, lamp is Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP, one of the standard internet server installations. Installing LAMP in Ubuntu is fairly straightforward. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP
[01:58] <egkamp> tonyyarusso: you can get the files you are asking for if you install the win32 codecs
[01:58] <erUSUL> Moratorium, yes mount the partition containing ubuntu from the livecd
[01:58] <Moratorium> ok
[01:58] <tonyyarusso> finfin, How do I do it?
[01:58] <finfin> i've a home made build
[01:58] <Moratorium> how do I mount it?
[01:59] <finfin> just to scarry you
[01:59] <tonyyarusso> egkamp, I have.  But I don't have that particular one.
[01:59] <Kovecses> mount /dev/hda1 or whatever partition it is
[01:59] <finfin> we have an internet provider with a custom modem
[01:59] <Moratorium> ok
[01:59] <egkamp> strange, when I installed it, i got those files
[01:59] <finfin> and this one is able to stream tv to your vlc
[01:59] <sorush20> i keep getting errors on cp from floppy anyhelp please.
[01:59] <Kovecses> sorush20, what are the errors
[01:59] <finfin> this is just f. great :)
[01:59] <erUSUL> Moratorium, when in the live cd open a root terminal and do "mount -t ext3 /dev/hdxx /mnt" (hdxx is the partition you have ubuntu on like hda4 pe)
[02:00] <sorush20> Kovecses: read input out put
[02:00] <finfin> (doing upload)
[02:00] <halibut> VIA vs Nforce?
[02:00] <Kovecses> sorush20, thats the exact error?
[02:00] <tonyyarusso> egkamp, avisynth.dll is not in the package.
[02:01] <adub>  An error occurred while loading media:/sda1:        The file or folder media:/sda1 does not exist.     <---- i get that error message when insert my flash drive??
[02:01] <Kovecses> adub, fstab issue?
[02:01] <tonyyarusso> finfin: So if it's possible, how do I use this ascii mode?
[02:01] <erUSUL> adub, i think that the : is the problem
[02:02] <sorush20> I keep getting this when I try to fix a floppy
[02:02] <finfin> Moratorium: it's not that fast...
[02:02] <sorush20> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7129
[02:02] <egkamp> tonyyarusso: sorry, you are right, just avimszh.dll, and avizlib.dll
[02:02] <SweetestSavage> Okay, I've got an AC97 onboard sound, and the only speakers that work are the front speakers. Can anyone tell me how to get the other ones working?
[02:03] <Kovecses> SweetestSavage, did you try alsamixer
[02:03] <lukus> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7128 can somone help me out here?
[02:03] <tonyyarusso> egkamp, So what's mplayer's deal here?  (I'm trying to play a .m3u, text list file playlist, and it won't do it.)
[02:03] <SweetestSavage> Kovecses, instruction please? :)
[02:03] <finfin> ok it's on the wa
[02:03] <Kovecses> SweetestSavage, brb
[02:04] <finfin> (f. bt uploads...)
[02:04] <tonyyarusso> finfin, The wa?
[02:04] <_jason> tonyyarusso, mplayer -playlist /path/to/playlist
[02:04] <finfin> way
[02:04] <SweetestSavage> Kovecses, okay no problem
[02:04] <finfin> sorry
[02:04] <adub> erUSUL and kovecses im clueless it give me that on a konquer screen popup
[02:04] <majd> anyone got steam workin?
[02:05] <Moratorium> ok, how do I delete the xorg.conf on the mounted partition. it says I cant coz I dont have permission to modify the parent folder
[02:05] <erUSUL> adub, try pmount /dev/sda1 in a terminal window
[02:05] <_jason> Moratorium, sudo
[02:05] <Moratorium> sudo what?
[02:05] <brad_teenbot> hey guys, does anyone know the code to get to the ubuntu sound help chat room?
[02:06] <tonyyarusso> And thank you _jason!  (Of all the simple things....  I thought I had an actual error, rather than just being missing a handy switch.  If I'd known that I could have checked the man!  Darn that confusing message.)
[02:06] <finfin> Moratorium: try sudo chown -R imthisone folderofxorg.conf
[02:06] <adub> erusul i will trynow
[02:06] <_jason> Moratorium, if you are confident what you are doing is okay, sudo rm /path/to/file
[02:07] <finfin> for the 0.8.4a deb, it's coming
[02:07] <brad_teenbot> hey guys, does anyone know the code to get to the ubuntu sound help chat room?
[02:07] <adub> Error: device /dev/sda1 is already mounted to /media/usbdisk
[02:07] <Dave|id2> brad_teenbot, what issue are you having
[02:07] <brad_teenbot> my sound isnt working
[02:07] <Dave|id2> more detail
[02:07] <Dave|id2> any boot issues
[02:07] <Dave|id2> what soundcard
[02:08] <Dave|id2> details
[02:08] <gnomefreak> brad_teenbot, this is ubuntu-sound and ubuntu-everything else cchat room :)
[02:08] <brad_teenbot> The speaker in the top right hand corner has an X on it
[02:08] <erUSUL> adub, the usb disk is already mounted open /media/usbdisk with konqueror
[02:08] <tonyyarusso> This probably has a grand total of about two uses, but:  Is there a command to make the sytem bell beep?
[02:08] <thechitowncubs> What is the program for adding programs called?
[02:08] <Dave|id2> synaptic
[02:08] <thechitowncubs> Crap, i meant printers
[02:08] <majd> anyone got steam workin?
[02:08] <Dave|id2> or apt-get install
[02:08] <thechitowncubs> the gnome app
[02:08] <gnomefreak> tonyyarusso, for coding?
[02:08] <dabaR> gnome-cups-manager
[02:08] <brad_teenbot> what do i type in the terminal to find which soundcard i have????
[02:08] <Dave|id2> majd, yes i have seen steam working
[02:08] <Moratorium> now I need the console command for copying a file? anybody?
[02:08] <thechitowncubs> dabaR, thank you
[02:09] <Dave|id2> brad_teenbot, check the bios,
[02:09] <halibut> http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?product_uid=87019      or         http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=15140632931&product_uid=95459      ??
[02:09] <tonyyarusso> gnomefreak, Well, that would be good too, but right now I actually want to tell it in a command line "Hey there machine, beep for me."
[02:10] <wckdkl0wn> anyone else here have a problem with accessing a data dvd?
[02:10] <thechitowncubs> Is there something weird with ubuntu to prevent someone from installing printers from the Cups web interface?
[02:10] <gnomefreak> tonyyarusso, im not sure about that but in coding the command is \a if not that its /a
[02:10] <brad_teenbot> Dave, im really new at linux so i really dont knwo what im doing
[02:10] <tonyyarusso> gnomefreak, (Actually, with sleep tt && this thing, to give me a sort of audible reminder after a certain amount of time has elapsed.)
[02:10] <brad_teenbot> i know kinda the basics but im not very good at this yet lol
[02:10] <dabaR> thechitowncubs: I think so, I think it has to do with sudo vs. root, but I just think so.
[02:11] <Moratorium> can anybody tell me the console command for copying a file?
[02:11] <gnomefreak> well tonyyarusso thats a big difference :( lol
[02:11] <dabaR> Moratorium: cp, man cp
[02:11] <Dave|id2> brad_teenbot, You need restart your computer, press the key to go into the bios and it should tell you in there.. or at least get your motherboard model and we can find out from there
[02:11] <gnomefreak> im not sure about that other than to write a script and add it to cron ? maybe
[02:11] <tonyyarusso> gnomefreak, so if I wrote a bash script that's only one of those two, and said to run the script, that would do it?
[02:11] <StudyUrNme> Moratorium, it's cp, do a "man cp" for specifics
[02:11] <wckdkl0wn> how do i isntall a deb file?
[02:11] <thechitowncubs> Well I am trying to configure a CUPS server for a standalone server and I am doing it over ssh because i don't have a monitor for it and I can't get the printers to work, they are listed through lsusb but I can't add them
[02:11] <crimsun> Dave|id2: yes?
[02:11] <_jason> !deb
[02:11] <ubotu> To install a deb: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
[02:12] <finfin> Moratorium: gabriel.landais.org/vlc-0.8.4a_0.8.4a-1_i386.deb
[02:12] <finfin> Moratorium: http://gabriel.landais.org/vlc-0.8.4a_0.8.4a-1_i386.deb
[02:12] <finfin> home build
[02:12] <finfin> with home patch
[02:12] <Dave|id2> crimsun, Heya! question for you, i did a system update last night and now i ALSA is dead and i have the same issue as before with the Starting hotplug subsystem on bootup.. the update killed asla!
[02:12] <finfin> hope it can help
[02:12] <gnomefreak> tonyyarusso, its a lil more in depth than that. take a look at the website i give you it will give you example of a simple script
[02:13] <crimsun> Dave|id2: uname -r
[02:13] <crimsun> Dave|id2: then you need to recompile the 1.0.10 drivers like you did last time
[02:13] <tonyyarusso> gnomefreak, Okay, thanks.  (I do know I need #!/bin/bash at the beginning, but not much else.)
[02:13] <gnomefreak> http://www.freewebs.com/joeboxernc/worldwind.htm
[02:14] <gnomefreak> tony all that script will do is run the last 3 commands
[02:14] <gnomefreak> in order :)
[02:14] <tonyyarusso> gnomefreak, Okay, I'll take a look.
[02:14] <finfin> does anyone have any idea of linux google earth availability?
[02:14] <gnomefreak> finfin
[02:14] <theconartist> finfin, there is no such thing
[02:15] <finfin> yes it is
[02:15] <theconartist> no
[02:15] <gnomefreak> finfin, go to the site i just posted
[02:15] <theconartist> it isnt
[02:15] <phildini> Anyone know how to get a PS/2 optical mouse to stop jumping to the top of the screen?
[02:15] <gnomefreak> that is a google earth type app
[02:15] <finfin> want a proof?
[02:15] <gnomefreak> the install instructions are there
[02:15] <Dave|id2> crimsun, i followed the instructions you left with ubotu and it did not work.. are they the same commands i should be using..
[02:15] <theconartist> i know it for a fact that there is no lnux google earth
[02:15] <tonyyarusso> gnomefreak, Okay, so it's really just a matter of what the command is in the end, right?
[02:15] <SweetestSavage> Okay, I've got an AC97 onboard sound, and the only speakers that work are the front speakers. Can anyone tell me how to get the other ones working?
[02:15] <gnomefreak> and no google earth is NOT able to be ran on linux
[02:16] <crimsun> Dave|id2: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential gcc-3.4 module-assistant
[02:16] <gnomefreak> pretty much tony yes
[02:16] <finfin> http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php/id;1401986683;fp;16;fpid;0 : "A number of people are now working on a Linux port of Google Earth, but Rasmussen did not offer a release date."
[02:16] <tktktk> when does _network_ get started in /etc/rc2.d I can't seem to find it anywhere there
[02:16] <crimsun> Dave|id2: then, dpkg -l alsa-source |grep ^ii
[02:16] <theconartist> working on
[02:16] <theconartist> it does not exist yet
[02:16] <finfin> ge is based on qt
[02:16] <theconartist> and two
[02:16] <theconartist> it is a port
[02:16] <theconartist> it isnt  google earth for linux
[02:16] <tonyyarusso> gnomefreak, Wouldn't that mean it would be the same in the terminal (in bash), as in a code being run through bash?
[02:16] <theconartist> it is a port of google earth for linux
[02:16] <gnomefreak> finfin, there being a problem with that
[02:16] <gnomefreak> there is no google earth for linux
[02:17] <gnomefreak> yes tonyyarusso
[02:17] <crimsun> tktktk: you're looking in the wrong place. /etc/rcS.d/S40networking
[02:17] <finfin> what's the diff?
[02:17] <bodaciousb> is there any reason why my ubuntu didnt come with alien?
[02:17] <gnomefreak> whatever you run in terminal is the command you would use like i said simple script
[02:17] <tonyyarusso> gnomefreak, Hmm...I'm not having success...
[02:17] <cafuego> bodaciousb: Normally it's not r4quired, and as such not on the default install?
[02:17] <PuMpErNiCkLe> SweetestSavage: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7130 <--- try these settings
[02:17] <tktktk> crimsun, what's the relatio nbetwene the rcS.d and rc2.d ... does rcS.d execute everything first, and then rc2.d ... or just lower numbersf among rc2.d and rcS.d ?
[02:17] <Moratorium> ok, I successfully copied the live cd's xorg.conf over my ubuntu installation's one, are ther any more config files I should do the same with in order to emulate the live cd's configuration on my ubuntu installation
[02:17] <crimsun> SweetestSavage: you need to unmute and turn up the volumes for the Center, LFE, and Surround mixer elements
[02:17] <gnomefreak> finfin, its not released
[02:17] <bodaciousb> cafuego, oh,   is it available on apt?
[02:17] <theconartist> finfin, one is google earth and one is based on google earth
[02:18] <gnomefreak> that means its not able to be run in linux
[02:18] <theconartist> that is also the difference
[02:18] <cafuego> bodaciousb: yep
[02:18] <theconartist> there is onle ONE google earth
[02:18] <theconartist> it is made by google
[02:18] <crimsun> tktktk: S == single user, 2 == default multiuser
[02:18] <bodaciousb> cafuego, i would look but, im updating and its gonna be a while =)
[02:18] <cafuego> bodaciousb: along with 18,000 other apps ;-)
[02:18] <Cythril> Hey guys, I was just curious, how exactly do I play MP3s in Ubuntu, or, how do I install a plugin to make them work?
[02:18] <theconartist> it is incorrect to call that port google earth
[02:18] <gnomefreak> tonyyarusso, whats up?
[02:18] <finfin> where talking about a linux ge, not a ww2d
[02:18] <tktktk> crimsum, I'm currently in level 2 right now though; so why did stuff in rcS.d get executed ?
[02:18] <bodaciousb> cafuego, sweet, while im at it is there any way to list files on a specific repsitory?
[02:18] <egkamp> toyyarusso: you just want to make a beep, yes?
[02:18] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell Cythril about mp3
[02:18] <crimsun> tktktk: ...because you have to enter single user before you enter multiuser
[02:19] <finfin> it looks like google wanted to show a mac version at the macworld
[02:19] <tktktk> crimsun, ah. ... lol; thanks :-)
[02:19] <finfin> they do
[02:19] <SweetestSavage> crimsun, alright, thanks, you too PuMpErNiCkLe =)
[02:19] <Dave|id2> crimsun, ii  alsa-source    1.0.10+1.0.11rc2-2 ALSA driver sources
[02:19] <gnomefreak> finfin,  there is no google earth for linux re read the site address again
[02:19] <tonyyarusso> gnomefreak, \a: command not found, /a No such file or directory.
[02:19] <gnomefreak> tonyyarusso, its usally added in string
[02:19] <crimsun> Dave|id2: good, then: sudo module-assistant a-i alsa-source
[02:19] <egkamp> toyyarusso: printf " /a"
[02:19] <finfin> yes
[02:19] <finfin> the work on it
[02:19] <gnomefreak> like i said i dont know how it would work as just to run it
[02:19] <finfin> without a release date
[02:20] <SweetestSavage> PuMpErNiCkLe, which media players utilize all speakers?
[02:20] <finfin> (they work on it)
[02:20] <tonyyarusso> gnomefreak, Added in string?
[02:20] <egkamp> tonyyarusso: but printf " /a" into a bash script, and chmod +x the script
[02:20] <wckdkl0wn> anyone have issues with multisession data dvd's?????
[02:20] <gnomefreak> so finfin that means you can not run it on linux so no there is no such thing
[02:20] <gnomefreak> printf command or echo command
[02:20] <gnomefreak> depending on lang. in use
[02:21] <finfin> i don't say you can, it says you would
[02:21] <gnomefreak> tonyyarusso, look at what egkamp said
[02:21] <tonyyarusso> egkamp, gnomefreak: I think I found something:  echo -e "\a"  (http://www.developer.com/open/article.php/631191)
[02:21] <finfin> my wine can't
[02:21] <PuMpErNiCkLe> SweetestSavage: Totem, rhythmbox... teh defaults work for me.
[02:21] <gnomefreak> finfin, you asked is there google earth for linux we said no you gave us the site
[02:21] <egkamp> toyyarusso: put printf "/a" into a bash script and chmod +x, then when it runs, it beeps
[02:21] <Dave|id2> crimsun, That is done
[02:21] <finfin> it looks like i don't understand what you mean
[02:21] <wckdkl0wn> anyone have issues with multisession data dvd's?????
[02:21] <gnomefreak> tonyyarusso, abs guide is very good
[02:22] <finfin> i'm sorry about that
[02:22] <gnomefreak> its in the repos :)
[02:22] <PuMpErNiCkLe> SweetestSavage: Not really, actually, seeing as I don't have 6channel audio files, but by setting the 'duplicate front' option, I get sound from all 6 speakers.
[02:22] <gnomefreak> finfin, you came in here asking if there is google earth for linux did you not?
[02:22] <finfin> no :)
[02:22] <crimsun> Dave|id2: did it finish immediately, or did it actually compile stuff?
[02:22] <egkamp> tonnyarusso: echo -e, or printf, either will beep
[02:22] <gnomefreak>  re read what you typed
[02:22] <Dave|id2> crimsun, took about 3 minutes....
[02:22] <finfin> i was talking about availability
[02:23] <finfin> because we will :)
[02:23] <gnomefreak> no its not avalible seeing is that its not released
[02:23] <Moratorium> ok, Im still having touchpad problems and it has nothing to do with my xorg.conf file
[02:23] <finfin> they were talking about ww2d
[02:23] <Moratorium> does anyone know where else I can try?
[02:23] <egkamp> methinks finfin is asking not *if* google earth *is* available, but rather *when*
[02:23] <crimsun> Dave|id2: good, now reboot
[02:23] <gnomefreak> finfin, that is a google earth type app
[02:24] <Dave|id2> will be back soon
[02:24] <gnomefreak> egkamp, he gave us the site for it :(
[02:25] <majd> Dave|id2, mine keeps on hangin up
[02:25] <finfin> ww2d has some similarities, but it is not ge at all
[02:25] <wckdkl0wn> i need this data off of this dvd-r but linux wont see the cd  help!!!
[02:25] <thechitowncubs> Where can I get help setting up my CUPS server?
[02:26] <gnomefreak> finfin, read what i said i never said it is ge
[02:26] <Bog_> anyone here with a tv tuner card?
[02:26] <thechitowncubs> Bog_, yes
[02:26] <finfin> it looks like you did, sorry for my miscomprehension
[02:26] <Bog_> thechit: which one?
[02:27] <DarkSenay> why are my samba shares in ubuntu asking for logins on windows, but my xbox gets into them without login
[02:27] <egkamp> are their issues with updating firefox using their tarball?  should i untar it in /home, and just change a quickstart icon to point to it?  should i untar it into the ubuntu 1.07 firefox dir?  do i need to uninstall the ubuntu 1.07 first?
[02:27] <thechitowncubs> DarkSenay, set the security options to share instead of user
[02:27] <Bog_> thechit: doe most tuner cards come with a remote or some sort of IR interface?
[02:27] <gnomefreak> egkamp, leave 1.0.7 on brezy
[02:28] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell egkamp about ff1.5
[02:28] <sexcopter8000m> hi, i want to run a server so i can share my webcam with friends, but i've no experience with servers. is apache easy to use? is there anything dead simple i can use?
[02:28] <gnomefreak> things depends on 1.0.7 if you get rid of it those items no longer work
[02:28] <xzilla> i am about to install ubuntu on a new laptop. i have the 5.04 cds. should i try to get ahold of the 5.10 cd's or is upgrading from 5.4->5.10 pretty seemless ?
[02:29] <gnomefreak> xzilla, download 5.10 iso and burn it (just me)
[02:29] <PuMpErNiCkLe> xzilla: It's probably simpler just to download the 5.10 cds - you'll be downloading most of it anyway through updating, and it's a simpler process.
[02:31] <Dave|id2> crimsun, That's Fantastic.. Everything is now back to normal. Once again you have saved me!
[02:31] <crimsun> Dave|id2: great.
[02:31] <Dave|id2> crimsun, Hope the next Ubuntu release will have full support for the HDA Intel soundcards :)
[02:32] <crimsun> Dave|id2: it will have as full support as reasonable
[02:33] <mythz> how do i select all files starting with '.' (without selecting the './' and '../' dirs) in bash?
[02:33] <adub> what do i need to apt get install for java runtime environment for mozilla/firefox
[02:33] <SweetestSavage> Excuse me, I have a problem.. every time I try to run amaroK, it gives me this error: amarok: error while loading shared libraries: libkdecore.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory <-- I've installed the necessary packages, yet I don't have this library, anyone know why?
[02:33] <dabaR> mythz: man ls, or ls -A
[02:34] <dabaR> mythz: is this your Unix course assignment?
[02:34] <odat> hi everyone
[02:34] <Dave|id2> crimsun, Thanks once again, i owe you another drink now.
[02:34] <CentHOGG> hi
[02:35] <odat> hey i am trying to create a launcher for frostwire
[02:35] <egkamp> mythz: I've seen a regular expression for what you ask, online
[02:35] <dabaR> egkamp: '\.'
[02:35] <CentHOGG> yeah
[02:36] <odat> i can only seem to launch it from the terminal once i'm in the same directory and i enter "sh runFrost.sh" command i'm not sure how to make a launcher for it  can anyone help
[02:37] <_jason> odat, is it executable?
[02:37] <finfin> in my crontab i update my rss feed list
[02:37] <finfin> and i receive a mail each time it runs...
[02:37] <finfin> is there a way to avoid that?
[02:38] <odat> _jason, if i double click on it    it opens in a text editor
[02:38] <adub> what is the apt-get install command for java runtime environment for mozilla/firefox
[02:38] <mythz> dabar: im trying to backup all my .files and folders
[02:38] <Dreamglider> i need some help setting up synergy, when i start the server i get: INFO: CServer.cpp,946: screen "dell" shape changed
[02:38] <Dreamglider> 
[02:38] <_jason> odat, right click on it and go to permissions, give yourself executable permissions
[02:38] <odat> adub, use synaptic
[02:38] <mythz> but the . targets both ./ and ../
[02:38] <kenv> I just installed UBUNTU 2 days ago and have been trying to get it to play mpg files.  Does anyone have a GOOD Recent link to help with this?
[02:39] <_jason> ubotu, tell kenv about multimedia
[02:39] <dabaR> mythz: ls -A |grep '\.'
[02:39] <gpled> can someone help me get a wireless card up on my laptop?
[02:39] <CentHOGG> !multimedia
[02:39] <kenv> I am trying to use totem
[02:39] <ubotu> [multimedia]  for codecs, http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch03.html#sect-music-and-movies ; and for applications, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultimediaApplications
[02:39] <bshumate> finfin: add a line in your crontab like this:  MAILTO=/dev/null
[02:39] <adub> odat what do you mean by synaptic
[02:39] <odat> _jason, ok now how do i stop it from asking me if i want to run it or not
[02:39] <odat> adub, its a gui for apt-get
[02:39] <StudyUrNme> finfin, from 'man cron': When executing commands, any output is mailed to
[02:39] <StudyUrNme>        the  owner  of  the  crontab (or to the user named in the MAILTO environment variable in the
[02:39] <StudyUrNme>        crontab, if such exists).
[02:40] <bshumate> finfin: of course that will suppress being mailed about *all* cronjobs though. ;-)
[02:40] <Dreamglider> kenv, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[02:40] <thesilentkiller> whats a good tool for listening to streaming audio?
[02:40] <_jason> odat, that's an option in preferences, but it is better to just create a launcher
[02:40] <odat> _jason, ok how do i do that?  i mean what command would i use
[02:41] <dabaR> mythz: what does that do for you?
[02:41] <dabaR> Does it show all the files you wanted?
[02:41] <gpled> anyone?
[02:41] <gnomefreak> odat, right click on panel/desktop where you want the launcher adn click creat launcher and than for command whatever command you use in term is one you put there
[02:42] <CentHOGG> !wireless
[02:42] <ubotu> somebody said wireless was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards
[02:42] <finfin> it does not help me that much ;)
[02:42] <odat> gnomefreak, ok but how is the command laid out when the program is in a few different directories
[02:42] <michael> can I ask a simple windows question in here, if not what is a good channel?
[02:42] <dabaR> mythz: ls -A |grep '^\.' actually will list all the hidden files except ., and ..
[02:43] <CentHOGG> michael: shoot
[02:43] <_jason> michael, you can try I suppose, there is #windows I think
[02:43] <michael> Question about Windows: I updated windows for a friend, from SP1 to all updates. Is it safe to delete $NtUninstall..., WinSxS, and the ServicePackFiles?
[02:43] <gnomefreak> odat, what app do you want to run?
[02:43] <dabaR> mythz: how are you copying now?
[02:43] <odat> gnomefreak, frostwire
[02:43] <dabaR> brb
[02:43] <gnomefreak> micheael try #windows they can help
[02:43] <StyXman> hi all
[02:43] <michael> k, ty
[02:43] <gnomefreak> can you run frostware from term. by typing frostware?
[02:44] <CentHOGG> michael: that's a good one, not sure... try DALNET /#windows95
[02:44] <StudyUrNme> finfin, you probably have to restart cron
[02:44] <adub> gez im trying to run synaptic as root but it says conversation failed when i type in root password
[02:44] <finfin> mmh that's a good idea
[02:44] <finfin> in fact people say you gave to add > /dev/null at the end of the end of your cron task
[02:45] <finfin> tried >> /dev/null
[02:45] <finfin> noeither
[02:45] <odat> gnomefreak, no i have to jump into the frostwire directory then enter sh runFrost.sh
[02:45] <adub> but now i can get a root command prompt with same pass??
[02:45] <StyXman> what use is the debian-sys-maint user for mysql? I seem to be locked out from my databases :(
[02:45] <bshumate> finfin : 2>&1
[02:45] <thesilentkiller> what is a good player for listening to streaming audio?
[02:45] <finfin> hu?
[02:45] <nicktastic> Anyone know where I might find an ubuntu package for Trolltech's qsa?
[02:45] <La_PaRCa> Hey guys, is there a way I can add an "Enque in XMMS" action to the right-click menu I get when I right-click on an mp3?
[02:45] <StudyUrNme> finfin, , that appends your cron error output to your output
[02:45] <StyXman> nicktastic: afaic that's not free
[02:46] <gnomefreak> odat, i would say write a script to run it and put the command for script as your launcher
[02:46] <finfin> */15 * * * * mytask 2>&1
[02:46] <finfin> ?
[02:46] <bshumate> finfin: also take out the MAILTO= line altogether for most effective squelching of mails.  vcron is an old inflexible turd when it comes to mailing, you cannot have per job MAILTO, it's all or nothing. ;-)
[02:46] <nicktastic> StyXman: There is a FOSS version
[02:46] <StyXman> La_PaRCa: depends on the file manager
[02:46] <La_PaRCa> StyXman, nautilus
[02:46] <StyXman> La_PaRCa: but basically is calling xmms with a certain param
[02:46] <nicktastic> Released under the GPL actually
[02:46] <StudyUrNme> perhaps  >/dev/null 2>&1
[02:46] <_jason> odat, just put 'sh /path/to/frostwire' as the command.  I think that should work.  Or if you amde it executable, you can just make the aluncher directory
[02:46] <StyXman> La_PaRCa: try running xmms --help from the console
[02:47] <La_PaRCa> StyXman, oh, I have already done that, but its just called XMMS, I cant find a way to give it a custom name
[02:47] <StyXman> niah, k
[02:47] <adub> gez im trying to run synaptic as root but it says conversation failed when i type in root password
[02:47] <adub> but now i can get a root command prompt with same pass??
[02:47] <eugman> Is there anyone here who has used phpbb2-conf?
[02:47] <StyXman> La_PaRCa: custom name?
[02:47] <finfin> i'll try
[02:47] <finfin> cheers
[02:47] <bshumate> finfin: what StudyUrNme said, > /dev/null >2&1
[02:47] <La_PaRCa> StyXman, I remember doing it before modifying a .desktop file somewhere, but I cant remember where!
[02:47] <odat> _jason, ahhh thats it that will work i forgot how to do it
[02:47] <gnomefreak> ty _jason  im still trying to figure out why frostware is a sh
[02:47] <_jason> gnomefreak, what is frostwire
[02:47] <StyXman> La_PaRCa: sorry, i'm a konqueor junkie :)
[02:47] <La_PaRCa> StyXman, yeah, so that it doesnt say XMMS but says "Enqeue in XMMS" or something like that
[02:47] <bshumate> err 2>&1 rather...bleh.
[02:48] <gnomefreak> _jason, what he is trying to run
[02:48] <StyXman> nicktastic: ah, ok
[02:48] <_jason> gnomefreak, lol yeah, I meant is it an mp3 player etc
[02:48] <thechitowncubs> Anyone any good at setting up a CUPS server?

[03:03] <twitch101> i think thats the problem
[03:03] <gnomefreak> adub, are you wanting to know a command to see if you have repos for kismet?
[03:03] <MrSunshine> only find unrar-free in the database
[03:03] <odat> MrSunshine, use unrar  non-free
[03:03] <_jason> !info unrar-nonfree

[03:11] <SweetestSavage> crimsun, ah.. I see. Well, I haven't gotten surround working, and I found these drivers so..
[03:11] <Delvien> How hard is it to recover from a Microsuck reinstall ? i know it destroys the MBR but winblowz got a virus and need to reinstall
[03:11] <odat> gnomefreak, its a peer 2 peer file sharing program
[03:12] <_jason> ubotu, tell Delvien about grub
[03:12] <gnomefreak> adub, i really really doubt alien is easier than getting a java deb
[03:12] <crimsun> SweetestSavage: ``amixer'' output --> pastebin
[03:12] <benplaut> how do i grep the output of a command for a (well, a word :P)
[03:12] <xiaogil> I have installed libgd2 on ubuntu linux, then I have uncommented the line "extension=gd.so" in /etc/php4/apache/php.ini, at least, I restarted apache2, but still nothing concerning GD library is displayed in phpinfo(), and I can't use commands such like imagecreate(). Also, the only error.log message in apache2 is still that old message : "File does not exist: /var/www/favicon.ico". What's wrong in my config about GD library ?
[03:12] <SweetestSavage> !pastebin
[03:12] <ubotu> pastebin is, like, totally, a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org

[03:13] <steve_> Delvien, you can reinstall grub from the ubuntu cd after reinstalling windows

[03:13] <bshumate> xiaogil: did you install php*-gd package (where * = 3,4, or 5 depending on the php version) ?
[03:13] <adub> gnomefreak i didnt see a deb

[03:14] <twitch101> anyone wanna help me mount a usb cdrw burner

[03:14] <steve_> Delvien, yeah I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be a problem
[03:15] <Delvien> steve_ that guide that ubotu gave me is MESSY as hell
[03:15] <_jason> ScreaminIke, ask a question and we can try to help you
[03:15] <crimsun> SweetestSavage: mute 'IEC958'
[03:15] <jariep1_> what is the web directory in ubuntu with apache 2 mbreezy badger
[03:15] <SweetestSavage> crimsun, alrighty. That all?
[03:15] <crimsun> off the top of my head, yep
[03:15] <Delvien> steve_ is it as easy as put install cd  in, and do a grub install?
[03:15] <bshumate> xiaogil: did you try : sudo a2enmod php4-gd ?
[03:15] <SweetestSavage> crimsun, what should I use to test it? XMMS doesn't seem to be working.
[03:15] <steve_> Delvien, yep
[03:16] <SweetestSavage> XMMS is only playing out of my subwoofer and two fronts
[03:16] <Delvien> steve_ ok cool
[03:16] <ScreaminIke> howe do i network through a windows pc to the net
[03:16] <xiaogil> bshumate: This module does not exist!
[03:16] <ScreaminIke> like... my friend... sets up his windows pc... and dials up....
[03:16] <twitch101> hey
[03:16] <_jason> ubotu, tell ScreaminIke about enter
[03:16] <ScreaminIke> then we connect our ethernet cables...
[03:17] <crimsun> SweetestSavage: what setup are you testing?
[03:17] <ScreaminIke> and ... oh. right. sorry. so... yeah. how do i do that?
[03:17] <SweetestSavage> crimsun, regarding?
[03:17] <zcat[1] > ScreaminIke: 'just plug it in' -- the windows PC with connection sharing enabled will give you all the settings via dhcp..
[03:17] <crimsun> SweetestSavage: speakers.
[03:17] <benplaut> _jason: the script outputs on multiple lines... any way around that?
[03:17] <hawking> what are the backports repos for?
[03:17] <SweetestSavage> crimsun, two fronts, a front-centre, two rears and a subwoofer
[03:17] <_jason> benplaut, grep will work fine
[03:17] <crimsun> SweetestSavage: aplay -Dplug:surround51 /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav
[03:17] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell hawking about backports
[03:17] <_jason> benplaut, grep is just gonna find the lines with word in it
[03:18] <benplaut> _jason: it's finding alot without the word...
[03:18] <SweetestSavage> crimsun, nope..
[03:18] <ScreaminIke> _jason? networking through a windows box that is set to share?
[03:18] <_jason> benplaut, what's the exact command you are using?
[03:18] <benplaut> iwconfig
[03:18] <benplaut> does it on ifconfig, too
[03:18] <ScreaminIke> do i just use him as a proxy? or is there more to it?
[03:18] <SweetestSavage> crimsun, hold on I'm going to see if they're in the right jacks
[03:18] <Delvien> steve_ thanks bro
[03:19] <_jason> benplaut, pastebin what it does
[03:19] <xiaogil> bshumate: do you have a suggestion about this message ?
[03:19] <benplaut> _jason: nm... working now
[03:20] <bshumate> xiaogil: actually a2enmod is not necessary for that module, hence the error...not sure what your problem might be. :-(
[03:20] <ScreaminIke> anyone? please?
[03:21] <zcat[1] > no settings required
[03:22] <ScreaminIke> thanx for the sarcasm-free response, zcat
[03:22] <bshumate> xiaogil: i do not have the ;extension=gd.so line uncommented on my installation...then again, I am using php5 and apache2.
[03:22] <zcat[1] > if you DID change the ubuntu network connections, go back and reset it to DHCP.
[03:23] <xiaogil> bshumate: when I try to install php5, synaptics wants to uninstall phpmyadmin...!?
[03:23] <egkamp> does a Windows PC with connection sharing enabled for a NAT?
[03:23] <egkamp> ah..."form a NAT", I meant
[03:24] <bshumate> xiaogil: weird...i do not have it installed here.  i used sudo apt-get install php5 though instead of synaptic
[03:24] <zcat[1] > egkamp: If the only thing you did was "share this connection" on your dialup, windows will set the LAN address to an rfc1918 one, and enable DHCP so any other machines on the network get given a sensible address and the windows box as gateway, and NAT for them. Yes.
[03:24] <competenCe> Hello
[03:25] <zcat[1] > competenCe: hi
[03:25] <dabaR> YO!!!1
[03:25] <competenCe> how do i stop memtest86+.bin from loading up ? i cant even get to logon, as soon as i start my pc up that bs keeps starting, and i hit esc and got to a black screen and deleted it and it still starts, can someone help please
[03:25] <truz24> Is anyone in here playing wmv files ?  If so, what app / codec is there to use?
[03:25] <rixth> HOw can I show a list of all installed packages?
[03:25] <_jason> ubotu, tell truz24 about w32codecs
[03:25] <truz24> I tried vlc, but I only get audio
[03:26] <truz24> I installed the w32codecs also.
[03:26] <_jason> truz24, vlc won't paly them, use totem-xine or mplayer
[03:26] <truz24> ok
[03:26] <rixth> truz24, totem-xine
[03:26] <truz24> thx
[03:26] <crimsun> truz24: you need to recompile vlc against libxvidcore4-dev
[03:26] <rixth> truz24, gstreamer can't use w32codec
[03:26] <rixth> s
[03:26] <crimsun> truz24: there are technical & legal reasons we can't do so.
[03:26] <zcat[1] > I've found vlc doesn't play some streams that mplayer does. I assume they both access the same set of codecs that I have installed?
[03:26] <crimsun> zcat[1] : no
[03:26] <xiaogil> bshumate: same with sudo apt-get install php5
[03:26] <crimsun> vlc doesn't touch w32codecs at all.
[03:27] <zcat[1] > ahh, that explains it I guess :)
[03:27] <zcat[1] > vlc is nicer, but mplayer plays everything!
[03:27] <P8ntKid> What is the package called that give me all the needed stuff to build/compile something?
[03:27] <K_Dallas> mplayer is even more nicer ;)
[03:27] <P8ntKid> gives*
[03:27] <_jason> P8ntKid, build-essential
[03:27] <zcat[1] > P8ntKid: build-essential
[03:28] <P8ntKid> _jason: Thanks
[03:28] <gnomefreak> yeah what they said :)
[03:28] <P8ntKid> zcat[1] : Thanks
[03:28] <gnomefreak> P8ntKid, dont forget to run apt-get build-dep <packagename>
[03:28] <P8ntKid> gnomefreak: k
[03:28] <P8ntKid> gnomefreak: Thanks
[03:28] <bshumate> xiaogil: that is odd. i have only standard, universe, and multiverse sources enabled here, and that didn't occur for me...phpmyadmin is available but not installed.  maybe you can uninstall it after installation completes?
[03:29] <gnomefreak> yw
[03:29] <xiaogil> bshumate: i can't even just uninstall phpmyadmin, i get an error message
[03:29] <steve_> hey, I'm trying to get X working on my laptop; I get a blackscreen and nothing when gdm starts. I have an acer travelmate 4650 with an intel 915gm graphics chip and there's a guide I found at http://www.bram.be/travelmate_4651lci.html that tells me to get a new i810 driver. I followed the instructions but it didn't work. Can anyone help me?
[03:29] <virogenesis> damn looks like i'm going to have to use the nvidia drivers and put up with oss instead of using alsa as no one knows how to help
[03:30] <crimsun> virogenesis: what are you trying to do?
[03:30] <P8ntKid>  gnomefreak Im trying to get xlockmore. The one from the repo isnt working
[03:30] <crimsun> virogenesis: patience goes a long way; some of us don't monitor this channel /every waking minute/
[03:30] <virogenesis> hehe i know nor do i
[03:30] <gnomefreak> P8ntKid, ok first off what version of ubuntu 2nd what is xlock?
[03:30] <virogenesis> sorry :)
[03:31] <KoruptPryde> where would I report an error in a dapper package?
[03:31] <xiaogil> bshumate: the error msg when executing "sudo apt-get remove phpmyadmin" is "/var/lib/dpkg/info/phpmyadmin.prerm: line 12: db_get: command not found"
[03:31] <P8ntKid> gnomefreak: Breezy, its xlockmore. Its just a simple thing like xscreensaver but its easier to use.
[03:31] <crimsun> KoruptPryde: what package?
[03:31] <luisito> hi, guys!!
[03:31] <KoruptPryde> crimsun, mysql server
[03:31] <gnomefreak> !info xlockmore
[03:31] <crimsun> KoruptPryde: well, I suppose it really doesn't matter. https://launchpad.net/malone

[03:32] <gnomefreak> P8ntKid, im assuming you have universe enabled?
[03:32] <P8ntKid> gnomefreak: Yes. It installs. But, when i run "xlock" it says command not found.
[03:32] <zuverink> how do you add a user to mysql?
[03:32] <KoruptPryde> crimsun, it umasks its pid 0770.... which makes it inaccessible to user access
[03:32] <gnomefreak> P8ntKid, try xlockmore
[03:33] <P8ntKid> gnomefreak: I did.
[03:33] <virogenesis> using ubuntu breezy and running into probs with my soundcard its using a realtek alc655 chipset crimsun  and well the volume is too low on it i've turnt up alsamixer its just hearable with my speakers on full and i'm having to put my head up to my speakers
[03:33] <xiaogil> Can someone tell me why I can't remove phpmyadmin ? (error message: /var/lib/dpkg/info/phpmyadmin.prerm: line 12: db_get: command not found)
[03:33] <gnomefreak> P8ntKid, its there im sure try locate xlockmore
[03:33] <crimsun> KoruptPryde: ...do you mean world users? That's correct.
[03:33] <gnomefreak> see if it finds it
[03:33] <P8ntKid> gnomefreak: I had it working with hoary fine. I could just run xlock and it would work fine.

[03:34] <crimsun> virogenesis: ``amixer'' output --> pastebin
[03:34] <KoruptPryde> crimsun, that makes it a little hard for anything but root and mysql to access it.... which makes user land applications a bit difficult

[03:35] <crimsun> KoruptPryde: I don't think our security officer would like a wide-open-by-default config.
[03:35] <bshumate> xiaogil: i just installed phpmyadmin, and then uninstalled.  got the same error.
[03:35] <_jason> adub, how did you install java
[03:36] <virogenesis> crimsun,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7134
[03:36] <kenv> Can someone suggest a virtual machine program that runs in ubuntu?
[03:36] <adub> dpkg -i jre_1.5.0_06-1_i386.deb
[03:36] <P8ntKid> kenv: vmware?
[03:36] <xiaogil> bshumate: interesting...
[03:36] <twitch101> OK BETTER DREAM
[03:36] <KoruptPryde> crimsun, then they should provide a configure app for first run to set the root password and THEN open it to world
[03:36] <_jason> adub, and firefox does not recognize java?  check about:config
[03:37] <adub> i remember one time setting this up i had to copy a library
[03:37] <xiaogil> bshumate: i think i found the solution to remove phpmyadmin...
[03:37] <crimsun> KoruptPryde: like I said, I don't touch that package. File a bug.
[03:37] <adub> java is enabled
[03:37] <_jason> adub, if you used the deb it should have done it
[03:37] <KoruptPryde> crimsun, aye
[03:37] <xiaogil> bshumate: at the end of the following page : http://forum.hardware.fr/hardwarefr/OSAlternatifs/apache2-LAMP-install-sujet-54367-1.htm
[03:37] <crimsun> virogenesis: try muting IEC958: amixer sset 'IEC958' off
[03:37] <K_Dallas> Cythril, what is it?
[03:37] <adub> well i had to alien the deb i coudlnt find the deb download but it showed it installed fine from console
[03:38] <gnomefreak> adub, just run the dpkg command and than you will need to run the --config java command
[03:38] <adub> but if alien rpm to deb it is a deb
[03:38] <bshumate> xiaogil: it is a bug in the package. you have to add a /usr/share/debconf/confmodule line to the /var/lib/dpkg/info/phpmyadmin.prerem script
[03:38] <adub> what is teh  --config java command
[03:38] <adub> liek what do i need to do at teh command line
[03:38] <Cythril> K_Dallas, I just downloaded XMMS and the .tar.gz file is sitting on my desktop, I dunno what to do with it.
[03:38] <_jason> adub, so at this point java is working or no?  'sudo update-alternatives --config java' if not
[03:38] <crimsun> Cythril: why not just install it from main?
[03:38] <gnomefreak> sudo update-alternatives --config java
[03:38] <P8ntKid> gnomefreak: Sorry, what did you tell me to do last?
[03:38] <adub> not working
[03:38] <Cythril> Er, I know I'm a n00b, but how do I do that?
[03:39] <K_Dallas> Cythril, 1. try repositories even unstable ones if you want the latest versions
[03:39] <bshumate> xiaogil: yeah, i don't read French, but that is the solution to get it to uninstall
[03:39] <gnomefreak> P8ntKid, do you have universe repo enabled?
[03:39] <K_Dallas> Cythril, 2. if you really need to compile it on yourself, read the README or INSTALL file in the tarball to get you through
[03:39] <P8ntKid> gnomefreak: Yes.
[03:39] <egkamp> adub: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Java
[03:39] <zcat[1] > hmm.. to hot here. I think I'll go sit outside under a tree.
[03:39] <adub> maybe the above worked
[03:39] <adub> ill see
[03:39] <gnomefreak> oh ok wait im further ahead than that :(
[03:39] <P8ntKid> gnomefreak: It installed fine. And im like 99% sure i have it enabled
[03:39] <adub> testing 1 2 3
[03:39] <K_Dallas> Cythril, tar zxvf foo.tar.gz would untar it for you
[03:39] <egkamp> adub: you want a symbolic link, rather than cp
[03:40] <Agabus> what should i apt-get before compiling gaim?
[03:40] <crimsun> !tell Cythril about repos
[03:40] <gnomefreak> P8ntKid, im not sure what the command will be to run it but most apps come with a file that tells you just cant remember what the name is other than readme file if thats it
[03:40] <Cythril> Alright, thanks. :)
[03:40] <crimsun> Cythril: you can use Synaptic or Applications> Add Applications to install XMMS
[03:41] <P8ntKid> gnomefreak: I did the locate xlockmore
[03:41] <gnomefreak> and it found it?
[03:41] <adub> no gnomefreak  = (
[03:41] <P8ntKid> gnomefreak: Yes.
[03:41] <gnomefreak> good
[03:41] <gnomefreak> adub, what do you mean no?
[03:41] <K_Dallas> Q: what utility replace Google-desktop (the search tool) under linux?
[03:41] <adub> i have no java still for mozilla firefox on this website
[03:41] <gnomefreak> P8ntKid, im not sure how you would run it ive never used it
[03:42] <egkamp> K_Dallas: do you mean beagle?
[03:42] <adub> i get no java applet
[03:42] <P8ntKid> gnomefreak: I know how to run it. it worked fine in hoary
[03:42] <gnomefreak> P8ntKid, that doesnt mean the command is same
[03:42] <regeya> K_Dallas, beagle is a nice gnome-specific search/indexing tool, kat is a nice kde-oriented tool
[03:42] <_jason> adub, what does the following return: ls /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/*java*
[03:42] <K_Dallas> egkamp, no, the google thingie which makes a database of all your emails and files on your computer so you could find them faster
[03:42] <gnomefreak> adub, you used alien i dont use alien
[03:42] <regeya> K_Dallas, did you like google desktop?  it just didn't do it for me...
[03:43] <K_Dallas> oh, beagle, well thanks regeya and egkamp i will try them
[03:43] <Cythril> Hmm, when I try to play a song in XMMS it freezes.
[03:43] <K_Dallas> regeya, it helps me a lot
[03:43] <crimsun> Cythril: go to the options menu, choose audio i/o plugins, and change it to ALSA
[03:43] <mattwestm> does anyone know about USB Flashdrives on Ubuntu live cd?
[03:43] <egkamp> K_Dallas: i do believe the google desktop is for MS Windows only, but there are applications which do the same thing
[03:43] <mattwestm> can you write to them?
[03:43] <Cythril> Oh, alrighty.  Is there a way for me to "un-freeze" it at the moment?
[03:43] <crimsun> mattwestm: absolutely
[03:43] <K_Dallas> egkamp, thru, that is what i wanted
[03:43] <regeya> K_Dallas, cool...I like beagle as well.  if only someone would get cracking on a quicksilver clone and interface it with beagle...
[03:43] <kartoo> When i try to use lftp over tls, i get the error "Login failed: 550 SSL/TLS required on the control channel". What package needs to be installed?
[03:44] <steve_> Can anyone help me get X to work on my laptop?
[03:44] <xiaogil> When I try to install phpmyadmin, it needs "apache-common libapache-mod-php4 php4-common php4-mysql" but I now use apache2 with php5, how to get rid of those un-necessary (i think) dependances ?
[03:44] <K_Dallas> regeya, what is quicksilver ;)
[03:44] <mattwestm> how can I write to my USB drive on Ubuntu live cd?
[03:44] <adub> _jason ls: /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/*java*: No such file or directory
[03:44] <_jason> ubotu, tell steve_  about anyone
[03:45] <virogenesis> nothing still crimsun
[03:45] <steve_> _jason, well, I asked it a while ago and got no response
[03:45] <_jason> adub, you shouldn't have used alien, but let's try to make the symlink.  See if /usr/lib/j2re1.5-sun/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so exists
[03:46] <regeya> K_Dallas, I'm hunting down the link, but the best way to explain it would be to instead find someone with an OS X box running Quicksilver.
[03:46] <SweetestSavage> Hi there, I currently have a problem.. X-Server won't start. It says: libdri.a is unresolved, Caught Signal 11. Server Aborting and fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
[03:46] <_jason> steve_, I'm just try to let you know that you should just ask your question and detail the problem.  Because without more info no one is going to know if they can help you
[03:46] <K_Dallas> regeya, all right :)
[03:46] <regeya> K_Dallas, http://quicksilver.blacktree.com/
[03:46] <adub> _jason sorry how do i run the symlink command im rusty as hell
[03:46] <Cythril> My XMMS froze while playing music, K_Dallas told me how to make it so it doesn't happen again but now I can't close the first window I opened, is there some kind of "Control Alt Delete" or something I can do on it?
[03:46] <regeya> K_Dallas, enjoy your trip to Floston Paradise
[03:47] <_jason> adub, if that file exists, you can do: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/j2re1.5-sun/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/
[03:47] <steve_> I get a black screen when gdm starts. I have an intel 915gm graphics chip. A howto at http://www.bram.be/travelmate_4651lci.html tells me to install a new i810 driver. I did so and I still get a black screen
[03:47] <sagar_> i just dist-upgraded to dapper...and everythign seems to work fine..only X says it cant load kbd or mouse...what's going on here?
[03:47] <SweetestSavage> Hi there, I currently have a problem.. X-Server won't start. It says: libdri.a is unresolved, Caught Signal 11. Server Aborting and fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
[03:47] <adub> crap man no /usr/bin/j2re1/5etc
[03:47] <kenv> This is a totasl newb question but I downloaded code and did tar zxvf pixops-2.0.tar.gz
[03:47] <kenv> .  Now I have an extracted file.  What commands do I need to install the rest.
[03:47] <[nige] > anyone know how to create hidden shares in samba?
[03:48] <_jason> steve_, try the following: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the video driver to 'vesa'  (be sure to back up the original of course)
[03:48] <Agabus> when i plug my usb mouse into my laptop after its already been booted up and logged in, it does not work. is there anyway without restarting that i can enable the mouse?
[03:48] <[nige] > i want to share my diretory /shares as hidden, but allow other folders for viewing in that one
[03:48] <steve_> _jason, all right doing so now
[03:48] <[nige] > steve_, is this an ati driver?
[03:48] <_jason> adub, sudo updatedb; locate libjavaplugin_oji.so
[03:49] <xiaogil> bshumate: GD library works now that I have installed php5, thanks a lot!!!
[03:49] <steve_> [nige] , it's an intel chip.
[03:49] <xiaogil> bshumate: but I don't have phpmyadmin anymore
[03:49] <mattwestm> ok, so how can I write to my USB drive with ubuntu live cd?
[03:49] <odat> hi everyone
[03:49] <[nige] > steve_, ahh okay if it was ati i could have given you a link
[03:49] <Agabus> anyone can help me with my USB mouse question? ^^
[03:50] <egkamp> kenv: there should be a README and an INSTALL file, and it depends on what system your tarball uses...most use "./configure", then "make", then "make install"
[03:50] <_jason> Agabus, we can try if you ask
[03:50] <odat> hey if i have a router that has a built-in firewall   should i still use a software firewall too?
[03:50] <arrinmurr> Cythril: press ctrl+alt+esc , your pointer turns to skull/crossbones, and select the program you want to kill
[03:50] <twitch101> for a usb mouse go buy one of those little green usb to mouse port adapters at radioshack for liek 2.50$ usd
[03:50] <Agabus> _jason - my question is up there, scroll up a little
[03:50] <steve_> _jason, okay, in xorg.conf I've got the line 'Driver "i810"', I should change this to 'Driver "vesa"'?
[03:51] <sagar_> whoops
[03:51] <odat> steve_, do this in the terminal  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:51] <xiaogil> How to install phpmyadmin without having to install those unuseful dependances : "apache-common libapache-mod-php4 php4-common php4-mysql" ?
[03:51] <_jason> steve_, yes you can try it.  What odat suggests is worth a try first I suppose
[03:51] <ITSa341> Success !!!!    Finally got online with this dwl-g122
[03:52] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, download it... all it is is a series of php pages
[03:52] <adub> _jason amen i found the dang plugin
[03:52] <odat> _jason, hey you think i need both firewalls   the one built-in my router and a software firewall
[03:52] <Agabus> _jason - when i plug my usb mouse into my laptop after its already been booted up and logged in, it does not work. is there anyway without restarting that i can enable the mouse?
[03:52] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: yes, but I won't have automatic upgrades then...
[03:52] <_jason> odat, you don't 'need' any firewall on a default install of ubuntu
[03:53] <stderr> is dapper still unstable?
[03:53] <odat> _jason, well i do have a router with a built-in firewall  should that be enough
[03:53] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, and?...... that isn't always a good thing
[03:53] <_jason> odat, in my unqualified opinion, yes
[03:53] <odat> lol
[03:53] <KoruptPryde> stderr, officially yes...... in practicality it is quite useable
[03:53] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: yes, sure, i'll do it then
[03:54] <brian_> hey, how do you force a certain AGP speed with ubuntu? say i want 4x rather than 8
[03:54] <SweetestSavage> Hi, I got a problem. I have no sound, yet it was working before I rebooted. I have an AC97 ALC850 Onboard sound device, and when I try to open Volume Controls it says No Volume control elements and/or devices found, yet, it's clearly hooked up.
[03:55] <KoruptPryde> SweetestSavage, if youdid not shut down right you may need to remove the file that stores the soundlevel.... used to have that problemall the time
[03:55] <ITSa341> In Ubuntu, where do I put modules to have them loaded during boot?
[03:55] <_jason> Agabus, you can probably run whatever it is that detects it during boot.  i don't know what does that though
[03:55] <irvin> brian_, try setting it on BIOS
[03:55] <brian_> irvin: there is no agp X setting in my bios
[03:56] <SweetestSavage> KoruptPryde, how do I do that?
[03:56] <steve_> odat, I went through the dpkg-reconfigure screens and selected the defaults for everything. that didn't help, heh. what specifically should I do differently in there?
[03:56] <dragoneye_xp> I have a Realtek AC'97 sound card.  Is it possible to get MIDI to work with it on Ubuntu?
[03:56] <Agabus> _jason - hmm i wonder what that would be
[03:56] <KoruptPryde> SweetestSavage, to be honest I don't remember the exact file... it is in /etc/
[03:56] <_jason> Agabus, I know I can disconnect my mouse and plug it in afterwards and it will work.  But I always boot with it connected
[03:57] <Agabus> _jason, fair enough, i hope someone else can help me then
[03:58] <SweetestSavage> KoruptPryde, asound.state?
[03:58] <KoruptPryde> SweetestSavage, yeah
[03:59] <adub> man it is still friggin not working
[03:59] <SweetestSavage> KoruptPryde, alright, I deleted it.
[03:59] <dell500> anyone here know if gnupod can do video or picture stuff?
[03:59] <SweetestSavage> KoruptPryde, now what? o.o
[03:59] <adub> im goign to undo the alien installed deb and if someone could send me a direct link to a good deb i woudl appreciate it those other links dont have a deb download that the bot sent earlier
[03:59] <KoruptPryde> SweetestSavage, reboot... should fix.... if not your problem is something deeper
[04:00] <_jason> ubotu, tell adub about javadeb
[04:00] <SweetestSavage> KoruptPryde, alright will do.
[04:00] <GNU32> When will the nick iKernel be unbanned from this channel?
[04:00] <Agabus> can anyone here tell me how to activate my USB mouse on my laptop after it is booted up and logged in?
[04:00] <ITSa341> In Ubuntu, where do I put modules to have them loaded during boot? I want the modules for this wireless to load automatically instead of having to start it from the command line every time.
[04:00] <GNU32> /etc/modules ITSa341
[04:00] <KoruptPryde> GNU32, wrong question to ask... that tends to get you kicked again   ;)
[04:00] <GNU32> ok
[04:00] <ITSa341> GNU32  TY
[04:00] <GNU32> np
[04:01] <adub> how do i get the deb from that site
[04:01] <MrKeuner> hi, why would I get this error? Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_real_escape_string() in... I am using php5 on ubuntu.
[04:01] <adub> i dont see it
[04:01] <Nihil85> hi everyone! can anyone suggest me some software to create programs (c++, compiler, ecc ecc) and to create databases in sql?
[04:01] <_jason> adub, http://seveas.ubuntulinux.nl/dists/breezy-seveas/java/
[04:01] <Nihil85> under ubuntu, obviously
[04:01] <adub> i have added the url to the sources.list and it errors??
[04:01] <GNU32> Nihil85: Heh heh... plenty!
[04:01] <ITSa341> GNU32 where would I put the configuration info? The guide I have is not designed for Ubuntu. :-(
[04:02] <_jason> Nihil85, for compiler: install the package build-essential
[04:02] <GNU32> ITSa341: What do you mean, "configuration"?
[04:02] <Nihil85> _jason, gcc, right?
[04:02] <_jason> Nihil85, yeah
[04:02] <ITSa341> info such as essid, wep key etc
[04:02] <alex__> buenas noches
[04:03] <steve_> _jason sweet, changing to 'Driver "vesa"' in xorg.conf completely fixed my problem. thanks a ton.
[04:03] <Nihil85> GNU32, i want to create a program for my sister, she's a doctor. I need to create a simplified interface to store information about patients, ecc ecc
[04:03] <Nihil85> sorsis, there's plenty of need
[04:03] <ITSa341> GNU32 info such as essid, wep key etc
[04:03] <_jason> steve_, yeah you may want to do a bit of research now.  I only know about that because it is a temp fix for some folks until they can install the proper drivers
[04:04] <GNU32> ITSa341: System --> Administration --> Networking
[04:04] <CrackersKeenan> probably a very basic question, but does upgrading from hoary to breezy do anything to the fies in my home directory?  Or can I just do it and they'll still be there?
[04:04] <ITSa341> GNU32 "ifcfg-rausb0" with wep key essid etc etc   the guide I have points me to /etc/sysconfig/network-script/
[04:05] <steve_> _jason, is there any downside to using vesa besides the moderately poor performance I'm getting?
[04:05] <_jason> CrackersKeenan, they'll still be there
[04:05] <ITSa341> GNU32  TY for the help
[04:05] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: i have put phpMyAdmin 2.7.0-pl2 in /var/www but when i run it, it shows a msg error : #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO), and nowhere in the windows to put a username or password
[04:05] <GNU32> np
[04:05] <CrackersKeenan> thanks _jason
[04:06] <_jason> steve_, I don't know enough about it... I think it's just that it's not properly using your card, thus the poor performance
[04:06] <steve_> _jason, okay thanks
[04:06] <ITSa341> brb  I hope
[04:06] <Pec1> hi, im a beginner to linux/ubuntu and I was trying out the live cd before installing it... however, during the boot of the live cd, the process stopped (i think?) at the line: attached scsi disk sda at scsi 0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0... if anyone could help me that would be great :) thanks
[04:07] <sethk> Pec1, do you actually have scsi disks?
[04:07] <_jason> steve_, 'man vesa'
[04:07] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, that's because the mysql server pid file is locked to world users...... you have to issue the following command (and then immediately change your mysql root user password)  "sudo chmod -R 0777 /var/run/mysqld""
[04:07] <Pec1> im not sure :S..all i know is taht i have a sata hardrive with 3 partitions
[04:08] <Pec1> i have no idea what a scsi disk is :S.. im pretty retarded when it comes to hardware
[04:08] <sethk> Pec1, for this purpose sata are considered scsi drives
[04:08] <sethk> pec1 as opposed to ide drives
[04:09] <seadog409> Pec1 left sethk
[04:09] <sethk> hm, I guess I scared him away  :)
[04:09] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, I'm working through the same issue.... the one problem it that the next time you reboot the pid file will lock again, I *think* changing the umask command in /etc/init.d/mysql to 0777 will fix
[04:10] <adub> http://seveas.ubuntulinux.nl breezy-seveas Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 49A120FD1135D466
[04:10] <adub> i get that when i run apt-get update and also
[04:11] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: i'm not sure to understand, and running "sudo chmod -R 0777 /var/run/mysqld" didn't change anything
[04:11] <adub> i cant install anything from teh repository go figure im bout to throw in the towel on some java action for the night this is ridiculous though shouldnt be this complicated
[04:11] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, it should have.... it changes the permissions of the pid file for mysql daemon
[04:12] <sethk> xiaogil, that's the daemon file, changing it's permissions couldn't have any effect on this
[04:12] <_jason> adub, read the first page, it tells you what to do
[04:12] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: what command shall i run to make it work again ?
[04:12] <adub> Failed to fetch http://seveas.ubuntulinux.nl/pool/java/sun-j2re1.5_1.5.0+update06_i386.deb  403 Forbidden
[04:12] <_jason> adub, ah you may need seveas to give you access
[04:13] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, you are trying to access a local mysql server... correct?
[04:13] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: yes
[04:13] <_jason> adub, I think I have a javadeb sitting around.  It's not the latest one, maybe a month old.  Want it?
[04:13] <GNU32> so bored..
[04:13] <adub> mannnnnnnnn im pulling my hair out.......lol
[04:13] <cactii> Hello all :)
[04:14] <cactii> I'm a new Linux/Ubuntu user.... I'm sure you're all glad to hear that.
[04:14] <adub> _jason amen there isnt a working one on the web and i tried to make one im going all out here
[04:14] <adub> i will save this java deb til i die
[04:14] <cactii> I have this problem... ;)
[04:14] <cactii> Two pieces of hardware don't work.
[04:14] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, okay, running that command should have cleared up the issue
[04:14] <cactii> I have AC97 audio and this doesn't work...
[04:14] <Pec1> hi its me again (i accidently closed my gaim).. i had my live cd boot stop when it reached this scsi disk ting; "attached scsi disk sda at scsi 0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0"... but im not sure if i do have a scsi disk..
[04:16] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: which command ? the issue is still there...
[04:16] <_jason> adub, did you an offer to accept a file?
[04:16] <_jason> adub, s/an/get an
[04:16] <cactii> If anybody is williong to try and help me please... I added i810_audio into  /etc/modules as suggested on a web page but this did not work.
[04:16] <KoruptPryde> "sudo chmod -R 777 /var/run/mysqld/"
[04:17] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, "sudo chmod -R 777 /var/run/mysqld/"
[04:17] <pansonic> Is there a program like frontpage for ubuntu
[04:17] <cactii> frontpage????
[04:17] <adub> _jason thanks yeah i accepted
[04:17] <cactii> hahaha
[04:17] <_jason> pansonic, try: nvu
[04:17] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: I still have the following error msg: #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[04:18] <pansonic> thanks
[04:18] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: in phpmyadmin
[04:18] <pansonic> does anybody know how to formatt an external usb hdd
[04:19] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, hmmmm...... that cleared up the issue immediately for me
[04:20] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, did you change your root password already?
[04:21] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: could it be because I ran the following command: "cd /var/www; sudo chown -R mysql:mysql phpMyAdmin" ?
[04:21] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: yes, I have a root password for mysql
[04:21] <progrock> what should I makemy storage partition that both windowsxp and ubuntu can use?
[04:22] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, you have to change the configuration file for phpmyadmin to have the proper password
[04:22] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: what file is it ?
[04:22] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, config.default.php I believe
[04:23] <pschulz01> Can anyone tell me what package the man pages are for 'malloc'?
[04:23] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: it's weird because in the other phpmyadmin version, it asked for a login and password, not in this release
[04:23] <dabaR> pschulz01: malloc in C?
[04:23] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, yeah, you have to modify the config file to set it to do that
[04:23] <pschulz01> dabaR: yup..
[04:23] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: ok
[04:23] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, there's an option in there to ask for passwords
[04:24] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, the default configuration file assumes that you are connecting to the local server with the root user and no password
[04:24] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: i understand
[04:25] <Kovecses> Seveas, all your repos are down? or am i retarded?
[04:26] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: do you know where is the option to set it to ask for a passwd and login ?
[04:26] <Vivaldi> does ubuntu have kde support as good as kubuntu has?
[04:26] <Kovecses> apt-get install kubuntu-desktop.... same thing
[04:27] <Vivaldi> so ubuntu would suffer the admin bug?
[04:27] <Kovecses> Vivaldi, what admin bug?
[04:27] <Vivaldi> i know kubuntu breezy-bagder has a bug when using graphical tools in kde
[04:27] <dabaR> pschulz01: http://www.its.strath.ac.uk/courses/c/ http://www.cs.umanitoba.ca/~cs343/linksDIR/C_Quick.pdf
[04:28] <Vivaldi> they do not accept the user password
[04:28] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, not off the top of my head
[04:28] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, willcheck tho
[04:28] <Kovecses> Vivaldi, not sure... gnome user here
[04:28] <arrinmurr> Vivaldi: it has been fixed
[04:28] <Vivaldi> arrinmurr, not in the iso though
[04:29] <pschulz01> dabaR: Found a man page at 'opengroup'...
[04:29] <Vivaldi> i can't download the fixes without configuring my adsl internet connection trhough a graphical tool
[04:29] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, $cfg['Servers'] [$i] ['auth_type'] 
[04:29] <Eleaf> MEOW
[04:29] <Eleaf> oop;s
[04:29] <pschulz01> dabaR: I would like the use 'man malloc' though.
[04:30] <arrinmurr> Vivaldi: you could try running "kdesu kcontrol"
[04:30] <Vivaldi> what's the version og gnome used ubuntu?
[04:30] <balzac> I tried and failed to install my modem driver
[04:30] <Vivaldi> the reason i prefer kde is that i can use konqueror for almost everything
[04:30] <[nige] > anyone know how to mount shares through fstab?
[04:31] <balzac> Current running kernel is: 2.6.13-15-default
[04:31] <balzac> diff: /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h: No such file or directory
[04:31] <balzac> autoconf.h matches running kernel
[04:31] <Vivaldi> the environment is more integrated in kde
[04:31] <balzac> what does that mean?
[04:31] <balzac> i hate winmodems
[04:32] <balzac> intel 537ep
[04:32] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: it works fine, thanks a lot!
[04:32] <gnomefreak> 2.6.13.15 what kernel is that in?
[04:32] <balzac> gnomefreak, it's from breezy badger
[04:32] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, no problem.... if it doesn't work on next boot it is because of the pid file, so keep that fix in mind
[04:32] <gnomefreak> breezys up to .15 already?
[04:32] <balzac> the cds i got in the mail
[04:33] <balzac> i upgraded and it broke a few apps i'd installed from outside the ubuntu universe
[04:33] <balzac> among them was my stupid modem driver
[04:33] <gnomefreak> balzac, yeah after upgrade but i didnt know they were that high :(
[04:33] <adub> man that worked thanks _jason
[04:33] <_jason> adub, np
[04:33] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: but still, I think the ubuntu package of phpmyadmin was nicely configured
[04:34] <adub> that was a battle and shouldnt have made it that hard
[04:34] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: I hope I can re-use it soon
[04:34] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: perhaps with Drapper
[04:34] <balzac> why does it have to be such a godawful hassle to install a common modem from intel
[04:34] <_jason> adub, you're rght.  There used to be another mirror but it is currently down.  There are isntructions for building on the wiki though
[04:34] <Vivaldi> is there a way to avoid automatic mounts of partition during boot when installing ubuntu? i do not like to see my partitions being mounted rw at boot after the first installation
[04:34] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, probably..... if you copy the config.default.php to config.inc.php it *should* survive upgrades
[04:35] <balzac> i need to get a PhD in winmodem driver compiling just to have a chance
[04:35] <balzac> oh yeah, my only java app i care about is broken too
[04:35] <gnomefreak> balzac, what app?
[04:35] <balzac> freemind
[04:36] <gnomefreak> havent heard of it yet
[04:36] <balzac> java on linux is annoying
[04:36] <balzac> gnomefreak, it's pretty good
[04:36] <regeya> wow...someone uses freemind!
[04:36] <tonyyarusso> Can I use ssh to get at a Windows machine?  (and how?)
[04:36] <regeya> I tried using it on an os x box, and ran away screaming in terror
[04:36] <tonyyarusso> regeya, I checked it out once too, but haven't used it much yet.  Looked cool.
[04:36] <balzac> regeya, i like it, but i have ideas for a non-hierarchical information organizer
[04:36] <KoruptPryde> tonyyarusso, google PuTTY
[04:36] <tonyyarusso> KoruptPryde, Thanks.
[04:37] <KoruptPryde> tonyyarusso, and also google cygwin
[04:37] <balzac> i call mine the "Information Particle System"
[04:37] <balzac> i just need volunteers to build it, because it doesn't exist yet
[04:37] <KoruptPryde> tonyyarusso, PuTTY is an SSH client and cygwin has a SSH server availible
[04:37] <ejofee> mplayer shows the movie on a centered small screen (surrounded by a black background). how can i full-screen the image (width-wise)?
[04:37] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: it works as fine as before with the 'cookie' option in $cfg['Servers'] [$i] ['auth_type'] 
[04:37] <balzac> but i bet we could use the "Contextual Linkage Engine" from the KDE desktop
[04:37] <KoruptPryde> xiaogil, yep, that sounds about right
[04:37] <Xenguy> Vivaldi: /b
[04:37] <tonyyarusso> KoruptPryde, Okay, looks good.
[04:38] <Xenguy> nm
[04:38] <xiaogil> KoruptPryde: thanks again
[04:38] <Dreamglider> what is ssh ?
[04:38] <Vivaldi> Xenguy, ?
[04:38] <tonyyarusso> KoruptPryde, How does it deal with users/passwords?
[04:38] <balzac> I wish good programs like freemind wouldn't get coded in a crappy language like java
[04:38] <Xenguy> Dreamglider: wikipedia.org
[04:38] <ejofee> Dreamglider: the bsd/gnu/linux equivalent for putty
[04:38] <KoruptPryde> tonyyarusso, cygwin uses the existing machine accounts
[04:38] <balzac> Sun Microsystems stinks
[04:38] <tonyyarusso> (Can I use the same user@machine format?)
[04:38] <Xenguy> Vivaldi: typo
[04:39] <KoruptPryde> tonyyarusso, it assumes the accounts availible on the machine
[04:39] <tonyyarusso> Dreamglider, Secure SHell, for making a a secure connection to another computer.
[04:39] <tonyyarusso> KoruptPryde, Okay.
[04:39] <TestDummy> So uh, yeah. GTK1 apps still have large ugly fonts, even after using switch, and checking in .gtkrc, or anything related to it.
[04:41] <KoruptPryde> tonyyarusso, just make sure when you install cygwin to select the option for openssh server  (also there is a command to get it to run as a system service though I can't remember the name)
[04:41] <dabaR> Auto-In-Woo!
[04:41] <tonyyarusso> KoruptPryde, I will keep that in mind.
[04:42] <Xenguy> KoruptPryde: cygrunsrv  ?
[04:42] <KoruptPryde> Xenguy, no, there's a command that sets it all up for you...... let me check
[04:43] <vader> this is funny, one time I install Breezy Ubuntu and my battery display doesn't work, install again and it works .....wow talk about wierd
[04:43] <KoruptPryde> tonyyarusso, googling for you
[04:44] <TestDummy> No ideas on the font problem?
[04:45] <Agabus> does anyone here use alexandria?
[04:45] <koruptpryde> tonyyarusso, http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html    steps five and six
[04:46] <Xenguy> !alexandria
[04:46] <ubotu> Xenguy: I'm not sure, is it larger than a breadbox?
[04:46] <tonyyarusso> koruptpryde, Thanks.
[04:46] <koruptpryde> tonyyarusso, no worries
[04:47] <Vivaldi> what's the graphical file browser used in gnome?
[04:47] <beford> nautilus
[04:47] <Vivaldi> is it a web browser too?
[04:47] <beford> no
[04:47] <tristanmike> Can anyone help fix a broken apt?
[04:48] <egkamp> "Alexandria is a GNOME application to help you manage
[04:48] <egkamp> your book collection."
[04:48] <koruptpryde> Vivaldi, there is a seperate component for that...... though I always recommend just using firefox
[04:48] <Vivaldi> firefox for everything?
[04:48] <nalioth> tristanmike: you have deeper issues than apt
[04:48] <koruptpryde> Vivaldi, why not?
[04:48] <beford> firefox for web browsing
[04:49] <egkamp> nautilus used to be a web browser, was it a security issue?  or is it "one tool for one job"?  why did it change?
[04:49] <Vivaldi> koruptpryde, last time i used it, it didn't have the features of konqueror
[04:49] <koruptpryde> Vivaldi, when did you use it last?
[04:49] <luisito> Vivaldi, if you don't like firefox you can have opera or epiphany
[04:49] <Vivaldi> koruptpryde, 1 year ago
[04:49] <beford> Vivaldi, what feature?
[04:49] <Xenguy> egkamp: I think it was always mostly a file manager
[04:49] <regeya> Vivaldi, what features of konqeror are you looking for?
[04:49] <koruptpryde> Vivaldi, keep in mind that there are MANY extensions fore firefox
[04:49] <luisito> Vivaldi, but firefox is great for everythng
[04:50] <regeya> bah
[04:50] <Vivaldi> beford, integration before everything
[04:50] <regeya> firefox can't make me a ham sandwich
[04:50] <Xenguy> mmmm ham
[04:50] <regeya> I'll agree with that:  Konqueror is highly integrated with the system
[04:50] <koruptpryde> Vivaldi, there's the problem..... firefox is up to version 1.5 now..... it is well evolved from one year ago
[04:50] <TestDummy> mmmm unresolved problems
[04:50] <_jason> regeya, you just haven't installed the right extension
[04:50] <tonyyarusso> egkamp, Were you trying to set a factoid for alexandria?
[04:50] <regeya> _jason, define 'the right extension' :-)
[04:50] <Vivaldi> ok...does ubuntu came with firefox 1.5?
[04:51] <_jason> regeya, yet to be written probabaly :)
[04:51] <meng> just dapper
[04:51] <regeya> hehe
[04:51] <_jason> Vivaldi, no
[04:51] <irvin> !info alexandria
[04:51] <ubotu> alexandria: (a GNOME application for managing book collections), section universe/interpreters, is extra. Version: 0.5.1-3ubuntu1 (breezy), Packaged size: 105 kB, Installed size: 720 kB
[04:51] <beford> regeya, the hamsandwich.mozdev.org one
[04:51] <revmoo> is there anyone around here that understands X geometry? I have a TwinView setup and I want to align the second monitor to the bottom rather than the top
[04:51] <koruptpryde> Vivaldi, no, it uses 1.0.7    however there are forum instructions for firefox 1.5
[04:51] <regeya> Vivaldi, however, apparently the big bugfix for 1.0.7 was backported...so I'm told.
[04:51] <koruptpryde> Vivaldi, will look them up for you
[04:51] <Xenguy> Vivaldi: not for another couple of months
[04:51] <egkamp> tonyyarusso, I didn't know what alexandria was, and thought perhaps others didn't, either...I didn't want Agabus to feel isolated, is all
[04:51] <__Bradd> hi guys.. I just nistalled ubuntu and when it gets to the login screen (or a gnome login) my sound goes 'bleep' about 3 times a second.. any ideas?
[04:51] <luisito> Vivaldi, in gnome you don't have the integration of kde
[04:52] <tonyyarusso> egkamp, Ah.
[04:52] <Vivaldi> :(
[04:52] <Vivaldi> i'll install ubuntu with kde then
[04:52] <egkamp> i was unaware of "!info"
[04:52] <meng> is there a way to enable mp3 support for dapper, can't seem to enable it with gstreamer lame instlled
[04:52] <tonyyarusso> Say Agabus, did you see how irvin did it?
[04:52] <regeya> Vivaldi, bear in mind that there are different philosophies...at least these days...in the KDE and GNOME camps.  I say this remembering that there was a feeble attempt once to build web integration into nautilus
[04:52] <Xenguy> Vivaldi: I like gnome, and xfce :)
[04:52] <TestDummy> Nobody knows why this font problem occurs?
[04:52] <luisito> I really don't find too much difference between 1.5 and 1.0.7
[04:52] <tonyyarusso> egkamp, Yeah, that works for any package name, and some of those, along with lots of other stuff, have regular factoid entries.
[04:53] <koruptpryde> luisito, they restructured the way the extension handling works
[04:53] <regeya> Vivaldi, apt-get install kubuntu-desktop.  it's awesome.
[04:53] <luisito> Vivaldi, you can have ubuntu and install kubuntu-desktop and have both
[04:53] <Xenguy> TestDummy: gnome-control-center ?
[04:54] <egkamp> Xenguy: gnome, xfce, and ion
[04:54] <TestDummy> Not the regular fonts.
[04:54] <TestDummy> Fonts for GTK applications.
[04:54] <luisito> koruptpryde, well, that's great but I'll keep the 1.0.7 a little more :)
[04:54] <koruptpryde> Vivaldi, searching wiki
[04:54] <Xenguy> egkamp: never played with ion
[04:55] <koruptpryde> luisito, I'll send you the link as well in case you feel like playing with it...... it makes it so it is very easy to remove
[04:55] <blocky> hey can someone gimmie a hand fixing my gruvb
[04:55] <GNU32> !ubotu?
[04:55] <blocky> grub even
[04:55] <ubotu> Yep, that's me! I'm a bot alright. Read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage to find out how to use me. Do NOT play with me in any channel.
[04:56] <GNU32> !ubotu
[04:56] <ubotu> Yep, that's me! I'm a bot alright. Read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage to find out how to use me. Do NOT play with me in any channel.
[04:56] <regeya> I ran into some minor problems with kubuntu-desktop, which is why I switched back to ubuntu-desktop for now, but kubuntu-desktop is largely stable and is largely untouched by package maintainers.
[04:56] <blocky> windoze plowed thru it :(
[04:56] <luisito> koruptpryde, ok man, give it to me! :)
[04:56] <koruptpryde> Vivaldi, luisito: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
[04:56] <blocky> why does grub-install /dev/hda give me errors
[04:57] <Osborne> blocky: what errors? :P
[04:57] <TestDummy> Nobody obviously cares...
[04:57] <luisito> koruptpryde, thanks
[04:57] <beford> blocky, what error?
[04:57] <blocky> im in knoppix right now
[04:57] <tonyyarusso> blocky, Explain exactly what happened, probably a solution for you.

[04:57] <egkamp> TestDummy: I care, I just have no answer for you...

[04:57] <dell500> anyone here know if gnupod supports video?
[04:57] <blocky> step 2 installed windows
[04:57] <koruptpryde> luisito, always happy to help
[04:57] <blocky> step 3 booted knoppix, chrooted to my /
[04:57] <tonyyarusso> blocky, You may want to see the wiki link to recovering grub in just that situation from !grub.
[04:58] <blocky> !grub
[04:58] <ubotu> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[04:58] <blocky> awesome
[04:59] <adub> does anyone in here have a orinoco gold
[04:59] <luisito> regeya, I think kubuntu works better in a clean install
[04:59] <adub> running in monitor mode with linux
[05:00] <tonyyarusso> blocky, Let us know if that doesn't do the trick for you.
[05:00] <regeya> luisito, the last time I installed kubuntu-desktop I did that from CD.  First thing I noticed is that I had to do a dist-upgrade since breezy was released with rc kde packages instead of the packages that were ready for final
[05:00] <joseph> do I have voice?
[05:00] <regeya> a few speculated that the redheaded-stepchild factor was in effect
[05:00] <tonyyarusso> joseph, Um, sure!
[05:01] <regeya> should you?
[05:01] <ludi> how do I play wmv files in totem?  it says I can't play them
[05:01] <tristanmike> Can anyone help with file system issues (serious  issues)
[05:01] <beford> install w32codecs
[05:01] <tonyyarusso> regeya, The redheaded-stepchild factor?  I'm trying to picture the research paper with that title...
[05:01] <PovAddict> hi
[05:01] <koruptpryde> regeya, ludi, you don't.... install VLC
[05:01] <tonyyarusso> !tell ludi about w32codecs
[05:01] <regeya> ludi, iirc you need w32codecs, and in my opinion install totem-xine
[05:01] <koruptpryde> oops... wasn't meant for regeya
[05:01] <regeya> vlc rawks
[05:02] <ludi> koruptpryde: what is VLC and why should I use it?
[05:02] <koruptpryde> ludi, a very powerful media player.... even played divx out of the box
[05:02] <irvin> !info vlc
[05:02] <ubotu> vlc: (multimedia player for all audio and video formats), section universe/graphics, is optional. Version: 0.8.4-svn20050920-3+hal0ubuntu3 (breezy), Packaged size: 5817 kB, Installed size: 13740 kB
[05:03] <koruptpryde> regeya, yeah.... but why when youcan have a media player that handles just about everything with half the hassle?
[05:03] <tonyyarusso> ludi: The choice of media player isn't your main issue; that's largely a matter of personal preference (I use a number of them, each for different situations.)  The main deal is the codecs, so address that first and then play around with your choice of player.
[05:03] <__Bradd> hi.. I just installed a new sound card.. how do I get ubuntu to detect it?
[05:03] <koruptpryde> tonyyarusso, you have a valid point   ;)
[05:03] <regeya> koruptpryde, right this moment I'm playing a wmv in totem.  I double-clicked on the file from nautilus.  OH THE HUMANITY
[05:04] <ludi> tonyyarusso: so does totem-gstreamer have a codec for WMV?
[05:04] <koruptpryde> regeya, lol
[05:04] <koruptpryde> ludi, w32codecs package
[05:04] <tonyyarusso> mplayer seems to work really well for me, but I hate the interface.  (Read:  When using Windows XP I HAD to use Classic View, I'm that kind of person.)  Can I change mplayer's theme?
[05:04] <regeya> ludi, someday gstreamer will be so totally awesome that it'll beat the pants off of quicktime, even.  for now I suggest using the xine backend
[05:04] <kremonte> taskmgr.exe : The application failed to initialize properly. i hate using work computers >_<
[05:04] <koruptpryde> tonyyarusso, yes, there are many many many many themes for mplayer
[05:05] <regeya> or go with koruptpryde's suggestion of vlc...it's awesome
[05:05] <tonyyarusso> ludi: It's true, the xine part will be good for it.
[05:05] <tonyyarusso> koruptpryde, How do I get them?
[05:05] <blocky> thanks guys
[05:05] <zane> hi people. I currently have a MAC computer but want to have a ubuntu partition. What is the best repartitioning tool?
[05:05] <koruptpryde> tonyyarusso, looking for the site....
[05:05] <ludi> this package is not available gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse does anyone know why
[05:05] <_jason> tonyyarusso, go to mplayer's official site (google).  Try the clearlooks theme for a classical look
[05:06] <spawn> i have an error when open tvtime appear /dev/video0 no found why ?
[05:06] <sampan> tonyyarusso  the mplayer site has a bunch of skins
[05:06] <PovAddict> hi everyone
[05:06] <koruptpryde> tonyyarusso, http://mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/news.html
[05:06] <PovAddict> I tried to install Ubuntu in Microsoft Virtual PC
[05:06] <PovAddict> and doesn't work
[05:06] <tonyyarusso> ludi: You can get the w32codecs package either as a download standalone, or through PLF repos.
[05:06] <ludi> sudo apt-get install  gstreamer0.8-plugins  gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse  gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg
[05:06] <tonyyarusso> Thanks koruptpryde, _jason, sampan.
[05:06] <ludi> but there is no gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse
[05:06] <PovAddict> http://pastebin.com/504982
[05:07] <koruptpryde> PovAddict, I got it working just fine once....., not sure what to tell yah  ;)
[05:07] <meng> ludi: does that still work with dapper?
[05:07] <tonyyarusso> ludi: Have you enabled multiverse?
[05:07] <_jason> ludi, pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:07] <dell500> anyone here know how to make a script or something that adds all the directories and it's contents onto my ipod, seems like gnupod_addsongs.pl doesn't do recursive adding of folders and such
[05:08] <PovAddict> can anyone help me?
[05:08] <koruptpryde> dell500, did you check for possible switches like -R?
[05:08] <koruptpryde> PovAddict, what is it doing specifically?
[05:08] <dell500> koruptpryde: just  read the man file and the help stuff for it
[05:08] <dell500> no go
[05:08] <dell500> i could try putting -R in there and see waht happens lol
[05:08] <PovAddict> I just loaded the .iso in Virtual PC and started the VM
[05:08] <PovAddict> http://pastebin.com/504982
[05:09] <PovAddict> this is the error
[05:09] <koruptpryde> dell500, does it accept a file list?
[05:09] <koruptpryde> PovAddict, loading...
[05:09] <s_spiff> PovAddict, shoot..
[05:09] <dell500> koruptpryde: i don't think so
[05:09] <ludi> _jason:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7138
[05:09] <ludi> that's my sources.list
[05:10] <luisito> ludi, all you need to have and to do with codecs and media formats is here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[05:10] <_jason> ludi, add " multiverse" to the end of lines 18,19,34, and 35
[05:10] <koruptpryde> dell500, what you can do is make a bash script to recursively follow the directories and have it load them that way....... there's a great site for learning bash.... let me find it for you
[05:11] <koruptpryde> dell500, http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
[05:12] <dell500> aw thanks a lot
[05:12] <PovAddict> any idea on my problem please? it's my first time in *Linux* so explain easy :)
[05:12] <koruptpryde> dell500, no problem
[05:12] <dell500> that's exactly what i wanted to learn too lol, great minds think a like
[05:12] <ludi> what is multiverse?
[05:12] <koruptpryde> apparently PovAddict didn't want help that bad
[05:12] <tonyyarusso> !tell ludi about multiverse
[05:13] <tristanmike> I have a file system problem can anyone help me out?
[05:13] <tonyyarusso> So how do I install these mplayer skins once they're downloaded?  (I found the skin browser for after they're installed.)
[05:13] <koruptpryde> tristanmike, we'll do our best... what is the issue?
[05:13] <tristanmike> there appears to be corruption
[05:13] <koruptpryde> tonyyarusso, no idea... read the onsite documentation
[05:14] <ludi> okay I read that, but it doesn't explain what multiverse really gives me
[05:14] <_jason> tonyyarusso, copy them to ~/.mplayer/Skin
[05:14] <koruptpryde> tristanmike, have you scanned the file system?
[05:14] <tristanmike> I get errors
[05:14] <tonyyarusso> _jason, Works for me.
[05:14] <tristanmike> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7136
[05:14] <s_spiff> _jason, any clue where i'll find bmp skins?
[05:14] <tonyyarusso> ludi: True, noticed that afterwards, sorry.
[05:14] <tristanmike> my inital problem is that apt is broken, locks up my system
[05:15] <koruptpryde> tristanmike, okay.... could you be more specific as to what you want help with.... unless we know the goal we can't help you much
[05:15] <tonyyarusso> ludi: They come from user contributions, similar to universe, with different legality/freedom issues with what's included.
[05:15] <_jason> s_spiff, you cna use xmms skins for bmp too, gnome-look.org has a few.  google can probably help you out more than I can
[05:15] <ludi> does "mozilla-mplayer" work with epiphany?
[05:15] <dell500> koruptpryde: is it hard to do btw? before i start reading...
[05:15] <luisito> ludi, to start your world in ubuntu you better go here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDocumentation#head-19e51e4331625e264a28ed6c484b946c86882d15
[05:16] <tristanmike> koruptpryde, apt is broken, locks up my system
[05:16] <koruptpryde> tristanmike, uhm... sorry to say it... that partition is trashed
[05:16] <tristanmike> what might have cause it?
[05:16] <_jason> ludi, yes, it does here anyway
[05:16] <koruptpryde> tristanmike, I might recommend in the future using reiserfs... tends to be more forgiving
[05:17] <tristanmike> and how did you come to that conclusion (for learning purposes)
[05:17] <ludi> do I live in a country where it's legal to playback mp3? should I install gstreamer0.8-mad
[05:17] <__Bradd> hey guys.. I'm editing my xorg.conf file and it has modelines for 1600x1200 but when gnome starts its only in 640x480 (
[05:17] <_jason> ludi, where do you live
[05:17] <ludi> USA
[05:18] <_jason> lol oh yeah USA, they don't care at all about that stuff :P...
[05:18] <koruptpryde> tristanmike, from what I can tell it is saying it cannot read the file system at all.... which could mean that the drive is going bad (usually does) or that something really really b0rked the data
[05:18] <s_spiff> hey...BMPX has been released!
[05:18] <s_spiff>  it look coool.
[05:18] <regeya> yes...it looks cool.
[05:18] <koruptpryde> s_spiff, care to share the wealth with a linkie?
[05:19] <theeil> how do i change nautilus to use the classic navigation bar?
[05:19] <s_spiff> hold on
[05:19] <foxiness> i dont want to do apt-get update once one the week or two ,am dail-up user is ther away around this?
[05:19] <tristanmike> koruptpryde, yeah, I kinda expected the drive to be bad, the fact that I got Linux on here kinda suprised me, but I thought that I was just wrong...is it a bad blocks related issue, can't I just isolate the bad blocks if it is?
[05:19] <ludi> why do I have to download the w32 codecs and install them with dpkg?  why aren't they in the repository?
[05:19] <tristanmike> here's the dmesg output, it's really bad...http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7132
[05:19] <s_spiff> koruptpryde, http://bmpx.beep-media-player.org/site/BMPx_Homepage
[05:19] <s_spiff> enjoy
[05:20] <__Bradd> I think my monitor Horiz/Vert stuff is not getting set right.. is there an index somewhere of monitor default HorizSync, VertRefresh values?
[05:20] <koruptpryde> tristanmike, well... usually a journalling filesystem can compensate for some bad blocks.... but in this case it looks like there is massive damage
[05:20] <tonyyarusso> Success with the skin.
[05:20] <foxiness> is there way to stop apt-get from keep me needing to do apt-get update ?
[05:20] <_jason> tonyyarusso, which one are you using?
[05:20] <tristanmike> dammit, it was working earlier today....
[05:21] <tonyyarusso> _jason, clearlooks.
[05:21] <koruptpryde> tristanmike, if you want to know more in depth about the error message's meaning in detail I recommend wikipedia
[05:21] <_jason> tonyyarusso, yeah that's the one I like.  There is a clearlooks for bmp too
[05:21] <ludi> why is this package not in universe/multiverse?  w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb
[05:21] <darkkyokusanagi> how-to SBA and Fast Writes on Breezy, i read all ubuntuforums.org i can't make working this
[05:21] <ejofee> in mplayer, is there any way to make this error message disappear: "New_Face failed. Maybe the font path is wrong. Please supply the text font file (...)"
[05:21] <theeil> anybody? and idea of how to set nautius to use the classic navigational bar (that you can type in)
[05:21] <koruptpryde> tristanmike, I know this is little comfort... but i recommend in the future using either ext3 or reiserfs... they tend to be more forgiving than ext2
[05:21] <_jason> ejofee, try installing the package mplayer-fonts
[05:22] <ejofee> _jason: thank you
[05:22] <tonyyarusso> ludi: Legality.
[05:22] <luisito> ludi, all those answers are here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[05:22] <ludi> does totem-gstreamer playback w32codecs?  I noticed the wiki says that it's only for mplayer, xine, and totem-xine.
[05:22] <darkkyokusanagi> anyone know?
[05:22] <luisito> ludi, read that
[05:22] <tonyyarusso> ludi: It would violate ubuntu policy, and so can't be in the official repos.
[05:23] <tristanmike> koruptpryde, wait, I'm using ext2?? is that the default Ubuntu installation fs?
[05:23] <_jason> ludi, it does not
[05:23] <_jason> ludi, use totem-xine, the only difference you will notice is it works better
[05:23] <koruptpryde> tristanmike, probably...... I *ALWAYS* switch from the default to reiserfs...... some of the distros have very very strange defaults
[05:24] <ludi> _jason:  mplayer, xine and totem-xine can play MPEG-1, -2 & -4, DivX, Quicktime, Real Media 8 & 9, Windows Media Video 9, and many other formats with the proper support. This support has been bundled into the w32codecs.
[05:24] <ludi> says nothing about the w32codecs working with totem-gstreamer
[05:24] <koruptpryde> ludi, than it may or may not... the only way to know is to try
[05:24] <_jason> ludi, okay, I'm telling you they won't.  Although I've been meaning to try a few things
[05:24] <tristanmike> koruptpryde, that's odd, my fs upstairs is ext3, but then again, that installation went differently, during the install, how do I select filesystem?
[05:25] <ludi> yea I can play wmv now with totem-gstreamer
[05:25] <ludi> I didn't download the w32codecs thing
[05:25] <darkkyokusanagi> anyone can help me ? >_<
[05:25] <luisito> ludi, I find those players better than totem, but that's only my thought.
[05:25] <_jason> ludi, that doesn't seem possible
[05:25] <tonyyarusso> tristanmike, It asks in the partitioning / mount point section what to format them as.
[05:26] <tristanmike> tonyyarusso, no, it didn't
[05:26] <koruptpryde> tristanmike, when you go to do the partitioning and it shows you the proposed structure you go back and change it
[05:26] <_jason> ludi, what did you do to make them play?
[05:26] <StudyUrNme> tristanmike, dumb q. perhaps; why do you try to fsck /dev/hda and not a partition of that disk?
[05:26] <tristanmike> koruptpryde, right, just go back
[05:26] <s_spiff> ! install
[05:26] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, install is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation
[05:26] <ludi> _jason:  sudo apt-get install  gstreamer0.8-plugins  gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse  gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg
[05:26] <koruptpryde> tristanmike, exactly
[05:26] <StudyUrNme> tristanmike, , /dev/hdb I mean
[05:26] <tristanmike> StudyUrNme, I get errors
[05:26] <_jason> ludi, interesting
[05:27] <luisito> ludi, that doesn't play wmv
[05:27] <tonyyarusso> tristanmike, Maybe not explicity such that you had to notice, but it was there.
[05:27] <ludi> _jason:  well maybe you can help me figure it out
[05:27] <StudyUrNme> tristanmike, I get the same eror when i try to fsck my disk in stead of a partition
[05:27] <ludi> _jason:  it wasn't working earlier, then I did that command, and now it's working
[05:27] <koruptpryde> StudyUrNme, they have a bad superblock... the filesystem is toast
[05:27] <StudyUrNme> nothing wrong with my disk or partition
[05:27] <luisito> ludi, maybe you installed the xine player and that installed the codecs
[05:28] <ludi> luisito: I just checked, totem-xine is not installed
[05:28] <ludi> totem-gstreamer is installed
[05:28] <tristanmike> tonyyarusso, I installed it 6 times in the last 2 days, and unless it is in the "go back" part, it wasn't there, I did find that odd however cause when I first installed it for myself, I had the choice, of course, it was prolly in the "go back" part
[05:28] <koruptpryde> StudyUrNme, it isn't comaplining about bad sectors..... it dies on a bad superblock....... when that happens fsck won't help
[05:29] <_jason> ludi, are you sure it's a wmv file
[05:29] <koruptpryde> tristanmike, it is in the go back... promise
[05:29] <_jason> ludi, not just an avi with a .wmv extension
[05:29] <luisito> ludi, then you have some "bill gates" ubuntu distro. :PP
[05:29] <tristanmike> koruptpryde, lol, it seems very logical anyway..plus I never _did_ try it
[05:29] <tristanmike> StudyUrNme, I still get the error
[05:29] <ludi> _jason: I don't know how do I check on that?
[05:29] <tonyyarusso> tristanmike, If you do it again, look around in there.  If "format this partition" is marked, it will have a spot to specify how.
[05:30] <koruptpryde> tonyyarusso, don't worry... they're good now
[05:30] <sklav> Hi guys
[05:30] <_jason> ludi, go to movie -> properties, what does it say for codec
[05:30] <s_spiff> koruptpryde, did u get a debian package for bmpx?
[05:30] <koruptpryde> s_spiff, not yet.... still sorting some issues out for people
[05:30] <tonyyarusso> luisito, gubuntu!  After a while, in warm weather, or after coming in contact with certain other substances, it gets gooey and slows to a crawl, before finally overheating and dying.
[05:31] <tristanmike> tonyyarusso, there are 4 options, 2 that say format and format with LVM hda (master) and 2 that format and format with LVM hdb (slave)
[05:31] <s_spiff> if you do.. can u please let me know
[05:31] <tristanmike> err, I should say, erase and format
[05:31] <s_spiff>  I don't wuite know how to install the damn thing.. esp since i cant get a .deb package.
[05:32] <ludi> _jason: Microsoft ASF video
[05:32] <StudyUrNme> koro,  he's trying to fsck /dev/hdb, not a partition, fsck dies on fsck /dev/hdc too, but nothing wrong with it, i'm suretriwhat does sudo fdisk -l say/
[05:32] <_jason> ludi, mine say wmv9 when they play
[05:32] <StudyUrNme> oops
[05:32] <koruptpryde> s_spiff, well... if they have a debian package it is as easy as using dpkg
[05:32] <tonyyarusso> tristanmike, Yeah, and then each one that is being formatted has a section that appears asking for the fs type.
[05:32] <_jason> ludi, try some others
[05:32] <StudyUrNme> tristanmike,  what does sudo fdisk -l say?
[05:32] <luisito> tonyyarusso, that's maybe a good example of how it could be :DD
[05:32] <s_spiff> yeah..i dont think they have one
[05:32] <ludi> _jason:  well where can I download a file to test?
[05:32] <koruptpryde> s_spiff, otherwise you may have to use alien to install it
[05:32] <s_spiff>  all are .tar.gz
[05:32] <s_spiff> umm ok..
[05:32] <koruptpryde> oooooh
[05:33] <koruptpryde> s_spiff, they don't have a binary distribution availible...... you will have to compile it from source
[05:33] <ludi> _jason: all of mine say "Microsoft ASF video" under Type
[05:33] <koruptpryde> s_spiff, do you have a compiler installed?
[05:33] <tristanmike> StudyUrNme, you know study, it doesn't say which fs it is....
[05:33] <s_spiff>  umm like?
[05:34] <s_spiff>  as in.. i dunno..noob here
[05:34] <koruptpryde> s_spiff, g++
[05:34] <s_spiff> yeah i think so
[05:34] <koruptpryde> !tell s_spiff about compiling
[05:34] <_jason> ludi, I'll send you one, one sec
[05:34] <s_spiff> koruptpryde, they've given a repo for downloadin it
[05:34] <s_spiff>  koruptpryde , how do i edit the reops?
[05:34] <vbgunz> anyone know of this bug? You unmount a USB drive and get the following error: eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument.... Although the unmount seems to go well?
[05:34] <koruptpryde> s_spiff, one sec... trying to find the tell command for how to compile
[05:34] <StudyUrNme> tristanmike,  as far as i know you can't do an fsck of the whole drive, you have to pick one partition at a time
[05:35] <s_spiff> no forget it...there's a repo for it... synaptic will do it auto!
[05:35] <koruptpryde> s_spiff, k
[05:35] <tristanmike> I suppose I want to do this from a livecd
[05:35] <s_spiff> how do i edit the repositories file?
[05:36] <_jason> s_spiff, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:36] <beford> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:36] <koruptpryde> s_spiff, there's a few ways.....
[05:36] <StudyUrNme> so that would be one of /dev/hdb1 to /dev/hdb7
[05:36] <tristanmike> StudyUrNme, it says it can casue SEVERE filesytem damage
[05:36] <luisito> ludi, maybe in a porno web page you can find some example clips in *.wmv jejeje
[05:36] <tristanmike> and I notice that my swap file is a crap size
[05:36] <luisito> what a corruption
[05:36] <_jason> ludi, this is pirates of the carribean 2 trailer btw
[05:37] <ludi> luisito: I don't do porno
[05:37] <koruptpryde> tristanmike, /j #help-tristanmike
[05:37] <ludi> _jason: okay thanks
[05:37] <tristanmike> koruptpryde, when I select "go back" that allows me to set the swap size too, doesn't it?
[05:37] <StudyUrNme> tristanmike, , yes, you should ffsck the partition while it's not mounted , booted from a flop or cd
[05:38] <jeeves_> all:  any one here good with Samba servers?
[05:38] <luisito> oh, I live in the caribbean. Come here and spend all your money here. ;) good beaches and mountains, rivers and beautiful "latinas" jejejeje
[05:38] <ludi> _jason: where did it download to?
[05:39] <luisito> ludi, I was kidding
[05:39] <tonyyarusso> jeeves_, Good, no.  Better than nothing, probably.  Get back to me if there's nobody better.
[05:39] <jeeves_> Samba server, any one?
[05:39] <vbgunz> My bugzilla account is disabled... "Disabled for migration to Malone" whats up? I got no email about this?
[05:39] <Stanont5331> so, i have a problem. and i was wondering if anyone here would be interested in talking me thru it. :)
[05:39] <_jason> ludi, i don't know
[05:39] <StudyUrNme> jeeves_, whole libraries have been ritten about samba ;-p
[05:40] <jeeves_> tonyyarusso:  ok, I just need to know how to make a mount in a local file system to access a samba share.  My fricker XMMS player won't play something unless its mounted localy.
[05:40] <_jason> ludi, check your home directory
[05:40] <StudyUrNme> written too
[05:40] <_jason> ludi, actually check /home/ludi/.xchat2/downloads
[05:40] <ludi> _jason:  the audo works but no video
[05:41] <_jason> ludi, yeah, go install w32codecs now :)
[05:41] <ejofee> is there any automatical way (like apt-get) to add new skins to mplayer in ubuntu?
[05:41] <vbgunz> hello all. No one has the invalid argument error when unmounting a USB drive? My bugzilla account is disabled and I cannot search the database... anyone can confirm my bug???
[05:41] <ludi> _jason: but it said that this codec was for "mplayer, xine and totem-xine".   It didn't say anything about totem-gstreamer.
[05:41] <tonyyarusso> Uh, where da jeeves go?
[05:42] <beford> ejofee ? just extract the skin .tar.gz to ~/.mplayer/Skins/
[05:42] <_jason> ludi, totem-xine is just like totem-gstreamer, it even replaces it.  It looks walks and talks just like the gstreamer version
[05:42] <tonyyarusso> ludi, I thinks it's ~/.xchat somthing.
[05:42] <StudyUrNme> tonyyarusso, seems he lacks patience..
[05:42] <tonyyarusso> (If that's your client.)
[05:42] <tonyyarusso> Apparently.
[05:43] <_jason> ludi, try totem-xine, you will see what I mean
[05:43] <tonyyarusso> ludi: And I just duplicated what _jason said.  Sorry.
[05:43] <ejofee> beford: ok, but are there any skin collections in the ubuntu repos?
[05:43] <ludi> _jason: I'm gonna try gstreamer cause I'm loyal to the cause
[05:44] <_jason> ludi, oh ok, I didn't understand that was why.  I'd recommend having mplayer handy then just in case you need it
[05:44] <sampan> ejofee  i'm not seeing any mplayer skins packages in the repos -- the mplayer website has a bunch with screenshots so you can choose only the ones you like
[05:44] <s_spiff> someone help me add this link to the repos.
[05:44] <egkamp> ejofee: xmms-skins
[05:44] <beford> ejofee, dont know, sorry.
[05:44] <s_spiff> http://beep-media-player.org/index.php/Downloads#Ubuntu_Linux  can some one check that site out..and tell me what exactly to do?
[05:45] <egkamp> opps...wrong app...disregard
[05:45] <beford> egkamp, he is talking about mplayer, ejofee check packages.ubuntu.com
[05:45] <matrix> hay alguien que me puede ayudar con el ubuntu 64bit?
[05:45] <Stanont5331> does anyone know how to make ubuntu use a video card, one that isnt the onboard one?

[05:46] <luisito> matrix, go to #ubuntu-es
[05:46] <ludi> _jason: I did the "dpkg -i w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb" but that file you sent still has no video.
[05:46] <matrix> ok

[05:54] <Eleaf> to pass to just have it use openbox
[05:54] <Eleaf> instead of the default kde
[05:54] <s_spiff> tristanmike, i did that, but everytime i save it..and do the update thing..it says couldnt read sources..error on line 36

[05:56] <zcat[1] > dont't we all
[05:56] <luisito> Junior_machin_dr, whean you ask we first listen to you.
[05:56] <nalioth> Junior_machin_dr: what language do you speak?
[05:56] <koruptpryde> what was the apt-get line to ignore dependencies?

[05:57] <luisito> !es
[05:57] <zcat[1] > <troll> but this was so easy in windows </troll>
[05:57] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[05:57] <bosco> HEY
[05:57] <bosco> hey
[05:57] <nalioth> Junior_machin_dr: what language do you speak first?
[05:57] <Madpilot> Stanont5331: ATI or NVidia card?
[05:57] <Junior_machin_dr> spanish
[05:57] <nalioth> Junior_machin_dr: vaya de el #ubuntu-es, por favor
[05:57] <Junior_machin_dr> i'm not good in inglish
[05:57] <tristanmike> sorry s_spiff, I mean "deb http://eros.vlo.gda.pl/~szuwarek/files/linux/bmpx"
[05:57] <luisito> that's what I thought
[05:58] <luisito> !es
[05:58] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[05:58] <s_spiff> yeah i did eactle the same thing.
[05:58] <s_spiff>  but it sill gives an error
[05:58] <s_spiff>  i tried adding through Synaptic>Respo's
[05:58] <s_spiff>  but didnt work either...it doesn't show up on the list itself!
[05:58] <zcat[1] > is there any nice GUI config tool for xorg like there was for xfree?
[05:58] <koruptpryde> zcat[1] , that's because hardware vendors purposefully hide their specs from the public..... it is easier in windows because the hardware vendors hand over the specs willingly.... more often than not linux has to reverse engineer the support
[05:59] <nalioth> zcat[1] : a nice ncurses config tool
[05:59] <Madpilot> !tell s_spiff about enter
[05:59] <yggdrasil> hey guys whats the cmd im looking for here ? dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:59] <tristanmike> s_spiff, well, I'm having a problem with my apt so I can't try it for you, but why can't you just download the deb?
[06:00] <_jason> yggdrasil, dpkg-reconfigure, no space
[06:00] <s_spiff> i did... and installed it also..but it doesn't appear in the Applications menu
[06:00] <yggdrasil> ahh thanks jason
[06:00] <Eleaf> ,kfnsdfkjenf
[06:00] <zcat[1] > hmm, found something on a fbds message board about configuring this card dualhead. perhaps that will help.
[06:00] <pschulz01> Anyone here play 'pioneers'?
[06:01] <tristanmike> s_spiff, ahhh, did everything seem to go ok?
[06:01] <luisito> Stanont5331, it is ATI or Nvidia?
[06:01] <s_spiff> Madpilot, thank you.
[06:01] <s_spiff> yeah it did
[06:01] <s_spiff>  no errors were given. but it doesn't show up in the menu
[06:01] <tristanmike> s_spiff, and you tried "bmpx" in a terminal?
[06:02] <s_spiff> will try that.
[06:02] <vahnx> wondering, whats the best linux bootable cd
[06:02] <tristanmike> s_spiff, you may have to add it in the menu
[06:02] <vahnx> im using knoppix
[06:02] <nalioth> vahnx: i suspect i know the anwer you'll get in here
[06:02] <yggdrasil> hmmm this fluxbox im still puzled with it
[06:02] <s_spiff> tristanmike, no it doesnt work..when i try bmpx in the terminal
[06:02] <yggdrasil> its pissing me off.. none of the menues are loading or somethings strange any flux experts here ?
[06:02] <dennis_> I don't seem to have Remote Desktop in my System menu. Can anyone help me here?
[06:02] <PuMpErNiCkLe> nalioth: I'll tell him :)
[06:02] <wckdkl0wn> can someone tell me where to get this file at?

[06:02] <vahnx> im new to linux just burned knoppix today
[06:03] <s_spiff> it seems some library is missing, will check it out
[06:03] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vahnx: Try #knoppix :)
[06:03] <maddoxeric> does ubuntu support dual monitors
[06:03] <vahnx> ok lolz
[06:03] <PuMpErNiCkLe> maddoxeric: yeah
[06:03] <tristanmike> s_spiff, do a search for bmpx and bmp
[06:04] <s_spiff> tristanmike, the library missing is : libtag_c.so.0 and I cant find it anywhere on the synaptic..
[06:04] <nalioth> s_spiff: install and update apt-file. then search for your file using apt-file search <STRING>
[06:04] <Dead_Letter> hello
[06:04] <PuMpErNiCkLe> hey Dead_Letter
[06:05] <Dead_Letter> sup
[06:05] <maddoxeric> Pumpernickle: how do the settings work for dual monitors?
[06:05] <dennis_> Can anyone tell me what file loads when you click Remote Desktop from the gnome-panel
[06:05] <maddoxeric> pr should i just add the extra card and see?
[06:05] <_Fox> i recently updated from Hoary to breezy, and when i restated and tried to put my Login name, my keyboard did not write letters it could write numbers but not letters, i tried modifying the locales but still the same, went to recovery mde and changed locales and it is the same... what can i do?
[06:05] <yggdrasil> addoxeric
[06:05] <Stanont5331> how do you install rpms in ubuntu?
[06:05] <PuMpErNiCkLe> maddoxeric: Depends on how you want them setup... shared screen, dual screen...
[06:06] <Madpilot> Stanont5331: generally, you don't, Ubuntu uses deb
[06:06] <PuMpErNiCkLe> maddoxeric: Wait, extra card?
[06:06] <_jason> Stanont5331, you try not to, but if you have to 'alien'
[06:06] <nalioth> Stanont5331: it's not advised to install any non official ubuntu pkgs, but you can use alien, if you must
[06:06] <maddoxeric> yeah
[06:06] <PuMpErNiCkLe> maddoxeric: Two monitors attached to separate vid cards?
[06:06] <maddoxeric> is that a problem
[06:06] <PuMpErNiCkLe> maddoxeric: Should work, I've just never tried it.
[06:06] <Madpilot> Stanont5331: if you're looking for vid card drivers, both nvidia & ati drivers are in Ubuntu's repos...
[06:06] <s_spiff> thank you people..i worked it out myself..added it throu the synaptic gui..to the repos list..
[06:06] <luisito> Stanont5331, convert it to deb package
[06:06] <s_spiff>  and now downloading the packages..
[06:06] <maddoxeric> well
[06:07] <Stanont5331> yea, so far i have gotten "dont do it" but ati only makes their drivers in rpm, is there a way to convert a rpm to a deb?
[06:07] <Stanont5331> ahh nvm
[06:07] <maddoxeric> let me login in here on another machine and I will try it now and just see what happens
[06:07] <tonyyarusso_away> nick tonyyarusso
[06:07] <maddoxeric> BRB
[06:07] <Madpilot> Stanont5331: get the ATI drivers from the repos...
[06:07] <luisito> Stanont5331, you don't need that in ubuntu
[06:07] <tonyyarusso> Oops.
[06:07] <Madpilot> !tell Stanont5331 about ati
[06:07] <PuMpErNiCkLe> maddoxeric: k
[06:07] <yggdrasil> fluxbox, is anyone here god with flux box ?

[06:08] <nalioth> yggdrasil: have you been to #fluxbox ?
[06:08] <yggdrasil> drwillis well yea i worked out the one at worktoday got everythign working but there somethig wrong here
[06:08] <yggdrasil> thanks ill try it nailoth
[06:08] <_Fox> i recently dist-upgrade from hoary to breezy and when i restarted and tried to login again my keyboard wont respond.... any help?
[06:09] <Dr_Willis> heck all i did was apt-get install fluxbox and openbox, and blackbox and all the related tools :P
[06:09] <Stanont5331> ok, now i run into a problem. im running the livecd. part of the instructions say to "restart your machine"
[06:09] <Dr_Willis> there was some conflict with blackbox and fluxbox on the wallpaper setting tool i rember.
[06:09] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: It's not a hardware problem, is it?  You've checked the connections, tried the keyboard in another OS?
[06:09] <seatouch> can anyone tell me how to install libtcl.so
[06:10] <nalioth> seatouch: search in synaptic for libtcl  and install the ones with -dev
[06:10] <_Fox> PuMpErNiCkLe, it is not hardware cause i could write numbers with the keypad...
[06:10] <Madpilot> Stanont5331: you're going to have to have an installed version of Ubuntu to use, then...
[06:10] <Stanont5331> is there someway to add the ati drivers to the livecd and reburn it?
[06:10] <luisito> Stanont5331, no man
[06:10] <Stanont5331> :(

[06:11] <Dr_Willis> Stanont5331, you would have to learn how to remaster the live cd.
[06:11] <luisito> Stanont5331, you should install it
[06:11] <ubuntu> hy
[06:11] <nillax> hey pumpernickle it's me maddoxeric
[06:11] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: Does it give any error messages?
[06:11] <PuMpErNiCkLe> nillax: How'd it go?
[06:11] <luisito> Stanont5331, I mean, you could but it is a long process
[06:11] <Stanont5331> thanks Dr_Willis
[06:12] <_Fox> PuMpErNiCkLe when it was updating, i got the error mesage could not find your locales..... going back to defaults ("C"), thats all i can remember
[06:12] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: Also, does it recognize the keyboard before it boots ubuntu?  (ie, in Grub, or even the BIOS)
[06:12] <Madpilot> Stanont5331: wouldn't it be a lot easier to just install Ubuntu?
[06:12] <tonyyarusso> nalioth, Is there a factoid that gives that link?  (For future reference.)

[06:13] <nalioth> ubuntu what language do you speak?
[06:13] <ubuntu> J have trunk
[06:13] <tonyyarusso> nalioth, I mean is there a factoid for ubotu that brings that up.
[06:13] <nalioth> tonyyarusso: not that i know of
[06:13] <Madpilot> ubuntu: we need more information than "kills my eyes", I think
[06:13] <ubuntu> my english is bad, i m sorry
[06:13] <tonyyarusso> nalioth, Okay.
[06:13] <ubuntu> aiiiiiiiiiiii

[06:14] <Keyseir> Hey. I'm running the latest stable version of ubuntu. My sound just stopped working. I ran a media player that I don't normally run and then things stopped working. What should I do to trouble shoot?
[06:14] <ubuntu> ok
[06:14] <_Fox> PuMpErNiCkLe yep...
[06:15] <_Fox> PuMpErNiCkLeand still the same =
[06:15] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: hmmmm
[06:15] <_jason> Keyseir, what media player
[06:15] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: This is really odd
[06:15] <yggdrasil> hey guys i think i figure out what my problem here is i think my right click on my mouse is setup wrong... how can i set that up.. ill pastebin my xorg.conf....
[06:15] <_Fox> PuMpErNiCkLe, i know=P
[06:15] <Stanont5331> im probably going to need to restart to get the ubuntu install cd arent i... ?
[06:16] <Keyseir> _jason I ran xine, and I don't have it's codecs set up properly. Now amaroK and VLC aren't playing sound along with other stuff (I use those normally).
[06:16] <_jason> Keyseir, do you use esd?
[06:16] <nalioth> Stanont5331: if you intend on installing ubuntu, yes.
[06:16] <Keyseir> _jason I'm not sure. Is it default with breezy?
[06:16] <Madpilot> Stanont5331: that's probably the easiest way, yes
[06:17] <luisito> how can I change the menu colors of the gnome-panel?
[06:17] <_jason> Keyseir, yes.  First check to make sure no instance of xine still lives: ps aux | grep xine
[06:17] <Stanont5331> ok, ive never used xchat and you guys are messageing me, so how do i do that?
[06:17] <luisito> if I can
[06:17] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: Does the keyboard work outside of X?  (ie, during the boot sequence, can you switch to a console and have a working keyboard?)
[06:17] <Stanont5331>  /msg ?
[06:17] <nalioth> Stanont5331: you should have new tabs popping up along the bottom edge
[06:17] <Madpilot> Stanont5331: if you mean the red text, that's just because we're starting lines with your nickname
[06:17] <nalioth> Stanont5331: to msg us, you need to register and/or identify yourself
[06:17] <_Fox> PuMpErNiCkLe yes, how do you think i am writing to you? xP
[06:18] <Keyseir> _jason, I don't believe any version of it is still alive. What should I check for in that commands output?
[06:18] <yggdrasil> whats an easy way to  reconfigure my mouse
[06:18] <Keyseir> _jason, andrew@dalavar:~$ ps aux | grep xine

[06:18] <Stanont5331> erm, yea. you guys are just popping up in the room, not on private tabs or anything
[06:18] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: Another OS, maybe? ;)  Anyway, try reconfiguring the xserver... it sounds like it could be a b0rked xorg.conf file.
[06:18] <nalioth> Keyseir: have you read the /topic?
[06:18] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: Assuming you haven't done that already.
[06:18] <Keyseir> nalioth, /topic?
[06:19] <nalioth> Stanont5331: in that case, it is as Madpilot said, you are being alerted to our attentions
[06:19] <_Fox> PuMpErNiCkLe i tried the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and all were normally as always
[06:19] <nalioth> Keyseir: in most irc channels is a /topic that runs across the top of your client
[06:19] <nalioth> Keyseir: it has information that is pertinent to that channel
[06:19] <beford>  /topic
[06:19] <beford> xD
[06:19] <nalioth> Keyseir: ours asks you to please not paste in here
[06:19] <Stanont5331> yea, ill restart, download the install cause i doubt its going to fit in ram, and then burn it. see if i can get it to install, and be back here in like an hour begging again :)
[06:19] <Keyseir> nalioth, I didn't notice that. I apologize. Won't happen again.
[06:20] <Keyseir> _jason , anything else?
[06:20] <Madpilot> Stanont5331: good to hear, it's a lot easier to fiddle with a fully installed version of Ubuntu!
[06:20] <_jason> Keyseir, try restarting esd.  kill it first: 'killall esd'.  Do you have sound now?
[06:20] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: And restarting the xserver after that doesn't give you a working keyboard in X?
[06:20] <__Bradd> 000..........
[06:21] <_Fox> PuMpErNiCkLe, nope =/ still with same prob
[06:21] <Keyseir> _jason, I can get beeps and alerts but still nothing from media players.
[06:21] <davebgimp> I'm formatting an extra internal HD for storage purposes. I should choose ext3, right? Also, should the partiion be primary or extended (it's the only one on the dirve)?
[06:21] <_jason> Keyseir, start it back up again: ALT+F2, then 'esd &'
[06:21] <nalioth> davebgimp: primary or extended make no difference. ext3 is fine if you're not sharing with windows
[06:22] <Keyseir> _jason, I did that. I'll see if I have sound now.
[06:22] <davebgimp> nalioth, thank you
[06:23] <Keyseir> _jason, media sound still isn't working.
[06:23] <yggdrasil> so like im checkin out my mouse settings and everthing looks the same ...
[06:23] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: Okay, that sounds like a bug, not just a misconfiguration - have you checked for updates?
[06:23] <yggdrasil> or good
[06:24] <_Fox> PuMpErNiCkLe and isnt it supposed to be on date cause i dist-upgrated right now =p
[06:24] <gman1029> i need some help with screen resolution
[06:24] <gman1029> can anyone help?
[06:24] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: It's the last thing I can think of that could solve it... ^^
[06:24] <_jason> Keyseir, have you tried restarting
[06:24] <_Fox> PuMpErNiCkLe and how could i check for updates if i cannot log in on my account =D
[06:24] <Keyseir> _jason, that was the first thing I tried.
[06:25] <_Fox> PuMpErNiCkLe and it forbids me using the root account =P
[06:25] <HappyFool> !fixres
[06:25] <ubotu> Please read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:25] <Madpilot> gman1029: fastest to just ask your question - if the line from ubotu above hasn't just answered it... :P
[06:25] <_jason> Keyseir, try 'mplayer -ao oss /path/to/file/with/sound'
[06:26] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: Recovery mode defaults to root, I think.
[06:26] <_Fox> PuMpErNiCkLe yeah but can i update from there?
[06:27] <gman1029> how can i fix my video resolution to be 1280x1024 instead of 1024x768
[06:27] <gman1029> cuz its not showing up
[06:27] <Madpilot> gman1029: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:27] <gman1029> its not loading
[06:27] <HappyFool> i'd log into the console (Ctl-Alt-F1) and use 'sudo apt-get' etc from there; if sudo isn't working in the console, that needs to be fixed first
[06:27] <Madpilot> gman1029: that URL isn't? it works fine for me
[06:28] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: Should be able to.  I'm reading a Bugzilla bugreport that seems to cover your problem... brb
[06:28] <HappyFool> try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto if your browser doesn't redirect for some reason

[06:29] <DeepBeige> I was wondering if anybody could answer a question, I read on Ubuntu's Website that I could CD's of it for free, they would ship it? do I have to pay for postage and all of that stuff?
[06:29] <lig> I am trying to install apache2 through the command line (mostly just to learn how).  I have done everything up to and including the make install.  When I try to start it with the "apachectl -k start", I get an error that says I can not bind to address...  I do not understand what is wrong - so do not know what to look into to fix it.  Any ideas, pointers, sites, comments for where to look for answers?
[06:29] <blanky> thank you ubotu
[06:30] <_jason> DeepBeige, no you don't pay anything.
[06:30] <tonyyarusso> So if I have a session on tty8 of my machine running tightvncserver, and assigning it as display 3, how can I connect to it with tightvnc?
[06:30] <nalioth> lig: what is wrong with the apache that is in the repos?
[06:30] <DeepBeige> so all I have to do is provide a Address?
[06:30] <blanky> DeepBeige, at the expense of waiting for them to get to you, but it's worth it
[06:30] <_jason> DeepBeige, yep
[06:30] <Keyseir> _jason, it said starting playback and it's spitting out things that seem like the time status of an audio file I had it run, but nothing is coming out the speakers.
[06:30] <DeepBeige> ok cool thanks
[06:30] <nalioth> DeepBeige: only thing you pay is with your time
[06:30] <tonyyarusso> (Behind a router, btw.  Would like to go out and back with the public IP.)
[06:30] <DeepBeige> ok cool
[06:31] <lig> Nalioth - nothing - just want to learn how to do it from the command line
[06:31] <nalioth> ubotu: tell lig about checkinstall
[06:31] <nalioth> lig: something to keep in mind next time you build something from source
[06:32] <_jason> Keyseir, double click on the volume icon, make sure xine didn't mute any of the channels there
[06:32] <Keyseir> _jason, That was it.

[06:32] <Keyseir> _jason, Haha. Thanks man.
[06:32] <Keyseir> _jason, I really appreciate your help.
[06:32] <_jason> Keyseir, lol good cus I was running out of ideas :)
[06:33] <_jason> Keyseir, np
[06:33] <seatouch> -su: cvs: command not found
[06:33] <Keyseir> _jason, stupid xine :D
[06:33] <seatouch> anyone know why this is happening ?
[06:33] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: try doing this -> wget http://people.ubuntu.com/~daniels/libxkbfile1_7.0.0-3_i386.deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~daniels/xkeyboard-config_0.6-6_all.deb
[06:33] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: And then this -> dpkg -i libxkbfile1_7.0.0-3_i386.deb xkeyboard-config_0.6-6_all.deb
[06:33] <zoexii> hey, does anyone know things about vncviewer?  I would like to connect to another machine and have the viewer displayed on a differnt X display... it doesn't seem to want me to do this.
[06:33] <Keyseir> _jason, /me uninstalls xine. It's people like you that make this distro great. Not much RTFMing around here. Thanks. Lata
[06:33] <sethk> seatouch, you have to install cvs
[06:33] <seatouch> sethk, comman pls ?
[06:34] <sethk> seatouch, synaptic
[06:34] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: It may, possibly, help - it seems to have worked for some other people who had keyboard problems.
[06:34] <seatouch> sethk, err k
[06:34] <luisito> how can I install more fonts for ubuntu?
[06:34] <nalioth> luisito: any truetype fonts you like, can go in ~/.fonts
[06:35] <nalioth> ubotu: tell luisito about fonts
[06:35] <Dr_Willis> kde has that font conttrol panel tool that makes it easy for a user to install them.
[06:35] <lig> nalioth, so from now on instead of doing a make install do a checkinstall?
[06:35] <Dr_Willis> does gnome have that? never noticed.
[06:35] <nalioth> lig: it makes for easier system maintenance (esp if you 'make install' something that botches your box)
[06:35] <_jason> Dr_Willis, it has 'fonts:///' so you can just drag in there
[06:35] <nalioth> Dr_Willis: it does not, afaik
[06:35] <Madpilot> !tell luisito about fonts
[06:35] <tonyyarusso> zoexii, I'm asking about vnc too.  For yours couldn't you just start it from the other display?
[06:35] <_Fox> PuMpErNiCkLe thanks man, ill try to do that =)
[06:35] <ColD_7> is there any program in ubuntu that is similiar to window movie maker?
[06:35] <Dr_Willis> heh heh :P 2 different answers :p
[06:35] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: If that doesn't work, there's another thing I found that might.
[06:36] <_Fox> PuMpErNiCkLeand it is??
[06:36] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: One moment...
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> so gnome dosent have a program. it has Fonts:/// :P
[06:36] <_jason> Dr_Willis, heh nvr used the kde thing so don't know what to compare it to :P
[06:36] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox:  Pre Breezy, /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc was a directory.
[06:36] <PuMpErNiCkLe> On Breezy, /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc needs to be a file.
[06:36] <s_spiff> PuMpErNiCkLe, u said u designed a new GDM theme
[06:36] <luisito> nalioth, Madpilot, thanks
[06:36] <s_spiff>  wher is it?
[06:36] <Madpilot> Dr_Willis: which I guess is some app running in the background, but doesn't really count as an app :P
[06:36] <Vash> Hey PuMpErNiCkLe can you assist me with troubleshooting X
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> _jason,  i forget also. :P i added a few dozen fonts.. it was basicially click/select.. and it copied them to .fonts I think
[06:37] <Madpilot> Dr_Willis: but read that https://wiki.ubuntu.com//FontInstallHowto too
[06:37] <PuMpErNiCkLe> s_spiff: Kinda... I hacked at a default Ubuntu one until it looked very different :)
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> if they went into .fonts I think that would put them where gnome and kde would both see them.
[06:37] <s_spiff> ohh ok
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> I rember the good-old-days of nasty font support in X. :P
[06:37] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _Fox: If you have a file on your system /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc.dpkg-new then  Rename directory /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc (to something else),  Rename the /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc.dpkg-new file,  to /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
[06:38] <zoexii> tonyyarusso, will try.
[06:38] <nillax> oh well...the AGP card gave me problems
[06:38] <tonyyarusso> zoexii, Any chance you know an answer for mine?
[06:38] <PuMpErNiCkLe> s_spiff: It's modelled on Lord of the Rings... it replaces the Ubuntu logo with the Eye of Sauron, surrounded by the ring.
[06:38] <nillax> i don't know how to configure it from x
[06:38] <PuMpErNiCkLe> There's a luminescent ring projection around it and the ubuntu name.
[06:39] <seatouch> sethk, apt-get install cvs is easier aint it :P
[06:39] <tonyyarusso> PuMpErNiCkLe, Do you have a screenshot/image of this thing?
[06:39] <PuMpErNiCkLe> The background got changed to a better-suited color.
[06:39] <sethk> seatouch, six of one, half dozen of the other
[06:39] <PuMpErNiCkLe> tonyyarusso: No, sorry...
[06:39] <seatouch> sethk, yah :)
[06:39] <PuMpErNiCkLe> And if someone puts in the wrong password, it plays the "You shall not pass!" audio clip from LotR. :D

[06:40] <Brian111> hey can someone help me with a wireless issue
[06:40] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Dr_Willis: lol!

[06:41] <zoexii> tonyyarusso, I think my question is really, "how do I open/create additional X displays"...
[06:41] <PuMpErNiCkLe> zoexii: Applications -> system -> new login ?
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> startx -- :2  (i think also works as root)
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> the 'new login' thing works if you are using GDM i recall.
[06:42] <nalioth> ubotu: tell Brian111 about wireless
[06:42] <tonyyarusso> zoexii, I usually do it PuMpErNiCkLe's way, but Dr_Willis' is fine too.
[06:42] <tonyyarusso> (Had to use that when gdm was busted.)
[06:42] <Brian111> !wireless
[06:42] <ubotu> hmm... wireless is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards
[06:42] <zoexii> PuMpErNiCkLe, yes, that sort of works, but that starts a window manager.
[06:42] <zooted> How does one get the ubuntu patches to apply to the kernel source when building a custom kernel?
[06:42] <Brian111> trust me ive tried
[06:42] <yggdrasil> dr_willis did you hear!!!! got it
[06:42] <tonyyarusso> I think I just vnced into a display that doesn't exist....Can you do that?
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> yggdrasil,  About time! :P
[06:42] <nbound> is it just me or does linux read damged cds alot better than windows =S, i have a couple of scratch-ridden cds/dvds here and they all read perfectly, on windows there was no chance in hell of the goin =S
[06:42] <zcat[1] > hmm.. apparently to make dual-head work properly, I have to list my nvidia card as a device twice, separately, in the xorg.conf .. one for each head
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  if its not running a window manager. you can get a blank desktop.
[06:43] <pyotr2> Hi. i need some help with samba file sharing. i want to share a directory from my machine, and i shared it by right click, share, smb share. but i cant access it from a Windows machine. It is asking for a username/password
[06:43] <yggdrasil> dr_willis now was that you talking about enlightenment this afternoon
[06:43] <Brian111> im thinking im going to have to use ndiswrapper
[06:43] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, That's what I say.
[06:43] <tonyyarusso> s/y/w/
[06:43] <ColD_7> is there any program for ubuntu that is able to do what window movie maker do?
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> yggdrasil,   I say.. dont bother. :P

[06:44] <yggdrasil> gerald try flightgear
[06:44] <varsendagger> wjat is flightgear?
[06:44] <yggdrasil> flight simulator pretty rocking
[06:44] <yggdrasil> like for graphics anywy
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> gerald-volt,  slune, xpilot, rocks-and-diamonds
[06:44] <gerald-volt> better than xplane?
[06:44] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, I don't understand why though, because it should  be there with full-blown Gnome.
[06:44] <arrinmurr> ColD_7: cinelerra and/or jahshaka
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> :P
[06:44] <HappyFool> slune gave me motion sickness
[06:45] <ColD_7> thanks arrinmurr
[06:45] <zooted> Does anyone here know about compiling a custom kernel under Ubuntu 5.10?
[06:45] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  vnc can be a little picky at times .  I normally set my vncserver to run a lighter window manager then gnome. any of the *box's are good. or XFCE
[06:45] <gerald-volt> what are some good online games?
[06:45] <yggdrasil> !pastebin
[06:45] <ubotu> I guess 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.ubuntu-nl.org
[06:45] <arrinmurr> ColD_7: you need to get both of them from third party sources though
[06:45] <HappyFool> !tell zooted about kernelhowto
[06:45] <HappyFool> zooted: i'm not sure how dated that is
[06:45] <varsendagger> gerald-volt, have you tried netris?
[06:45] <yggdrasil> so how can i get ubuntu to realize that this mouse is a regular wheel mouse ?
[06:46] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, What does "picky" mean?
[06:46] <johnt> zooted: google.com should be able to point you to right direction
[06:46] <gerald-volt> any other good 3d games?
[06:46] <arrinmurr> ColD_7: see http://cvs.cinelerra.org/ for cinelerra and http://www.jahshaka.org/ for jahshaka. both of them have ubuntu packages, but they are not in the official ubuntu repositories
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  it can be finicky :P i have mine set where i just vncclient to the right ip and port: and it auto starts up a GDM session i can loginto.
[06:46] <zooted> HappyFool:  Your bot is my new overlord! thank you.
[06:46] <tristanmike> gerald-volt, america's army, anyone mention that?
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  sure its not running  some other window manager? like twm
[06:47] <gerald-volt> anymore?
[06:47] <gerald-volt> maybe racing?
[06:47] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, What is the right port?
[06:47] <yggdrasil> hey guys can somone take a look at my pastebin for dual montior and see if thers something wrong ?...http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7139
[06:47] <tristanmike> gerald-volt, tux-racer
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  it all depends. :)   how did you start the vncserver?
[06:47] <gerald-volt> anymore?
[06:48] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, I can Ctrl-Alt-F8 and see what looks like Gnome, but with different settings?  How do I tell?
[06:48] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, Opened a terminal emulator window, tightvncserver
[06:49] <tonyyarusso> On tty8.
[06:49] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  i think you may be getting 2 things confused..  you can have a 2nd (or more) x displays running without vnc.
[06:49] <tristanmike> gerald-volt, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=5153&highlight=uber+games
[06:49] <Dr_Willis> once you run vncserver, you then connect to it with a 'vncclient'
[06:49] <tristanmike> gerald-volt, there's a nice list of games
[06:49] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, No, I know that, I'm trying to do this as a test to learn how to use vnc.
[06:50] <yggdrasil> hey guys can somone take a look at my pastebin for dual montior and see if thers something wrong ?...http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7139
[06:50] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  from your first initial X login, run vncclient yourip:1 (or 2) or whatever vncserver said.
[06:50] <tonyyarusso> (It's a little weird, I know, but it's the only test environment available at the moment.)
[06:50] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  it should show up in a window then
[06:50] <ColD_7> arrinmurr, do you use cinelerra or jahsaka before? i just wish to know which one is better
[06:51] <eobanb> can anyone help me getting an s3 trio64V working with ubuntu? when i do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choose s3 as the driver, i just get a black screen when i start gdm.  the xorg.0.log doesnt have any errors, just some warnings about fonts.
[06:51] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  ive had 'issues' befor with runing gnome twice, (once on the desktop, and then in a vncsession)  at the same time as the same user.
[06:51] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, Connection refused.
[06:51] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, What sorts of issues?
[06:51] <nillax> fuck it...i will just start from the beginning again
[06:52] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  lets see.. i'd logout in 1 and it would log out both. :P
[06:52] <ejofee> what about tv-out?
[06:52] <nillax> it's not like i have any important work on that machine anyway
[06:52] <yggdrasil> ok cool then i guess thats all i gotfor this evening
[06:52] <yggdrasil> later gents
[06:52] <yggdrasil> thanks
[06:52] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, Ick.
[06:52] <varsendagger> hey is there a better pager or windows switcher, on that i can click on and move stuff around with it?
[06:52] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  i tend to use very minimal window managers in vnc. or at least try to not run kde or gnome in both..
[06:52] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  these issues were a long time ago.. but its somthing to watch out for.
[06:52] <arrinmurr> ColD_7: never really tried jahshaka myself. and i'm actually just reading a forum post about it telling things don't look too god for it at the moment ( http://www.jahshaka.org/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,45/page,viewtopic/t,652/ ), so i guess it would be a safer bet to start with cinelerra. that i have used and it's pretty nice.
[06:53] <ColD_7> thanks
[06:53] !lilo:*! Here we go....
[06:53] <ejofee> is tv-out useable at all on gnu/linux?
[06:53] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  vnc is one of those tools that can be soooo handy. (like ssh) once you learn the ins and outs.
[06:53] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, I succeeded in using the default vnc client/server once before when dealing with another computer that was hooked up directly to mine via a crossover ethernet cable, but now I'm having trouble.
[06:53] <Dr_Willis> ejofee,  it works on my system
[06:53] <ColD_7> arrinmurr, so i guess i just have to install the binary myself, right?
[06:53] <ejofee> Dr_Willis: do you use radeon?
[06:54] <yggdrasil> Dual monitor hey guys can somone take a look at my pastebin for dual montior and see if thers something wrong ?...http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7139
[06:54] <Dr_Willis> ejofee,  my nvidia card has tv out
[06:54] <zooted> Does anyone here know how to get the ubuntu-patches package applied to the latest ubuntu kernel source?
[06:55] <yggdrasil> my mouse right click button is acting as the middle click button or something how can i fix this ?
[06:55] <Dr_Willis> yggdrasil,  you sure its not how the window manager is just using the buttons
[06:55] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, Okay, so I checked System > Preferences > Session > Current, and it doesn't show the server as running.  Why not?
[06:55] <zooted> damn netsplits, haven't seen one of those in years.
[06:56] !lilo:*! halfway there
[06:56] <ejofee> what is happening?
[06:56] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  ive never used the gnome "share" desktop sort of method with vnc. I always run it from the shell.
[06:56] <ejofee> whatever,
[06:56] <beford> net split.
[06:56] <Madpilot> ejofee: server restarts, give it a few minutes
[06:56] <PuMpErNiCkLe> zooted, ejofee You didn't get the wallop?
[06:56] <zooted> ejofee: netsplit, an irc server delinked from the irc net.
[06:56] <varsendagger> what just happend
[06:56] <arrinmurr> ColD_7: add "  deb http://www.kiberpipa.org/~gandalf/ubuntu/ ./  " to your /etc/apt/sources.list , and you can install it with apt
[06:56] <PuMpErNiCkLe> They're restarting some of the main rotation servers...
[06:56] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, Which is what I'm trying to do now, shell.
[06:57] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  the first time ya run 'vncserver' it should ask for a password. and make a .vnc dir.
[06:57] <ejofee> beford, Madpilot: right, thanks
[06:57] <ejofee> PuMpErNiCkLe: i guess not
[06:57] <tonyyarusso> Ah.  It looked like part of the planet got nuked or something.
[06:57] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  in that dir there should be a few files :p
[06:57] <ejofee> zooted: thanks
[06:57] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, There is.
[06:57] <arrinmurr> ColD_7: there's one package that you need to get from somewhere else though, and i'm not quite sure from where :)
[06:57] <PuMpErNiCkLe> do /mode yournick +w and you'll get these updates ahead of time :)
[06:58] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  i got one called 'xstartup' that is what gets ran by a default vncserver on my system. othereise it defaults to somthing else (i forget what/where)
[06:58] <ejofee> Dr_Willis: is there any gnu/linux app which manages tv-out?
[06:58] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  you can learn a lot bu reading the vncserver file its a large shell script.
[06:58] <zooted> anyone here tried to patch the kernel with Rick van Rein's BADRAM patch?
[06:58] <Dr_Willis> ejofee, proberly is. I recall seeing some mentioned. Never used any however.
[06:59] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, "Could not find XKB extension".
[06:59] <ejofee> Dr_Willis: i mean, not even for setup? do i then simply plug my computer to the tv set?
[06:59] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  i think thats more of a warning
[06:59] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, That's in some of my logs.
[06:59] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, It's not what's killing them?
[06:59] <Dr_Willis> ejofee,  that worked for mine.. which confused me :) since the default desktop went to the tv..
[07:00] <ejofee> Dr_Willis: heh. thanks.
[07:00] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  it dont reply "vncserver running on yourmachine:2" or similer?
[07:00] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  or is it ranting about font fixed perhaps?
[07:01] <zooted> Wheeeee its re-link time...
[07:01] <mindlace> evening, ubuntuians
[07:01] <mindlace> not sure if any of you caught my whinghing about ldap .... turned out to be a configuration error, of course
[07:01] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, New 'X' desktop is anthonyyarusso:3
[07:02] <adam_> Hey. Im pretty new to Ubuntu. Can anyone reccomend a guide to get me going?
[07:02] <adam_> I dont get the whole installing programs thing. hehe
[07:02] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  now note the 3 - you actually have 3 vncservers going now. :P
[07:02] <arrinmurr> ColD_7: ah, there's installation instructions for cinelerra nowadays. see http://www.kiberpipa.org/~gandalf/ubuntu/README
[07:02] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, "could not open default font 'fixed'"
[07:02] <virogenesis> ubuntuforums.org
[07:02] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,   there ya go. :(
[07:02] <lysis> how do i burn an MDF image file?
[07:02] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, Joy.  And I can't figure out any of them.
[07:02] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  thats some bug - that i keep HOPEING they would fix eventually
[07:02] <Dead_Letter> OMG I'm soooo sleepy...
[07:02] <luisito> nalioth, why the ttf fonts I installed from windows doesn't apply in the Fonts Preferences?
[07:02] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, What do I do about it?
[07:02] <PuMpErNiCkLe> mindlace: spiffy :)
[07:03] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe:
[07:03] <mindlace> well, I still don't know what the /correct/ config is
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  the problem is i think that when thjey went from xfree to xorg some font files got moved or somthing. the fix is trivial. i found it in the ubuntu forums.
[07:03] <Dead_Letter> just got the CDs today... thanks... so far so good :)
[07:03] <mindlace> but it seems to be related to what kind of crypt I choose
[07:03] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe: X failed to start still, i can see the mouse start, then it dives
[07:03] <mindlace> for passwords
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  its a ln -s (from some font dir) to (somewhere else)   but i cant rember where.
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  let me check my notes :P
[07:04] <vash> dir
[07:04] <vash> oops
[07:04] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, Okay.  (I had to do that for something else.)
[07:04] <nalioth> luisito: have you logged out and back in?
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  yea - it had me annoyed for some time. then i chefked the forums. and they discussed it.
[07:04] <Dead_Letter> PuMpErNiCkLe, where from?
[07:05] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  not that i ever saw any official fix done. :P
[07:06] <vash> exit
[07:06] <luisito> nalioth, no. If I should then I'll go.
[07:06] <Dead_Letter> he he
[07:06] <nalioth> luisito: i'm not sure how to get them into your settings thng, did you follow the wiki ubotu sent you?
[07:07] <luisito> nalioth, yes. let me try. I'll be back...
[07:08] <Dead_Letter> :-X
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=88011&highlight=vnc+font+fixed
[07:08] <adam_> could someone explain to me what a repositorie is?
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  has the fix.
[07:09] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, Thanks.
[07:09] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vash: hey
[07:09] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe: The error I am recieveing from Xserver is this
[07:09] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Dead_Letter: Say what?
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  also  i think using 'vnc4server' may give better performance then tightvnc
[07:09] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, Oh?
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  or,,,  linked the xorg.conf to XF86Config and that did the trick for me.
[07:10] <vash> skiping /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/exentions/libGLcore.a:M_Debug_clip.o"; no symbols found, there are a few of those errors and then this one
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  aparently the vncserver parses the X config files - and isent looking at x.orgs config may be the heart of the issue.
[07:10] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, So what is that, /etc/X11/config/cf/xfree86.cf?
[07:10] <vash> (WW Radeon : No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found
[07:10] <nalioth> adam_: a repository is where debian based OS' keep the files for you to install
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  /etc/X11
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  cp or link the xorg.conf to XF86config  (may be the easy fix) to try
[07:11] <luisito> nalioth, before I logout I do a killall gnome-panel and it worked. It looks beautiful. I used the tahoma.
[07:11] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe:
[07:11] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vash: That BusID... did the reconfigure script generate that?
[07:12] <adam_> nalioth: thanks
[07:12] <buulian> how does one take ubuntu and strip down the utilities down to just the basics and start over w/o manually going through synaptic?
[07:12] <luisito> nalioth, excellent
[07:12] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  or...    sudo ln -s /usr/share/X11/fonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
[07:12] <nalioth> luisito: cool to hear
[07:12] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe: I am not sure, I ran the commands as you recomended, the package installed, then I ran the Xreconfig as you said and went through fine
[07:13] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe: FGLRX did not show up in the xreconfigure tho if it is supposed to be a option i select like the glcore or what have you
[07:13] <luisito> nalioth, very good looking, I'll try others
[07:13] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, that's the exact same link I already made.
[07:13] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vash: It would have been earlier, when it presents you with a list of kernel modules.
[07:13] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe: It was not listed where you select the modules to load
[07:13] <nalioth> luisito: there are many sites with free fonts
[07:13] <ssstormy> can someone help me with networking?  I'm tryiing to connect to my xbox over a crossover CAT6, which works fine in windows.  Unfortunatly, I am having no end of troubles doing it under linux
[07:13] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, And I don't see this XF86config anywhere.
[07:14] <ssstormy> (it's running a ftp server)
[07:14] <buulian> another question: i don't need qt or gtk to run applications, right? that's just in the programming...
[07:15] <luisito> nalioth, I have a lot cause I have the CorelDraw CD
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  you MAKE a link from the xorg config pointing to that name
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  or use one of the other 'fixs' :P
[07:15] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe: do you think the drivers did not correctly install themselfs
[07:15] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vash: I think they may not be in alphabetical order.
[07:15] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vash: Unless it spewed an error when you installed them, they're probably okay.
[07:15] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, Oh, okay.  I thought I was replacing.
[07:16] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe: should i exit back to console and try to reconfigure again?
[07:16] <lysis> WTF does it mean "Your C Compiler cannot create executables"?   BESIDES the obvious please!  i get this EVERY TIME i try to ./configure
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  nah.. with the xfree to xorg change some programs are confused  it seems. :P
[07:16] <lysis> WHAT C COMPILER DO I NEED?
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> lysis,  try 'gcc --version'
[07:16] <lysis> gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu9)
[07:16] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vash: That seems the best bet.
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> lysis,  you have installed the 'build-essentials' package?
[07:17] <nalioth> lysis: have you installed build-essential?
[07:17] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe: OK i will try it, be back to let you know my next adventure of blowing up linux
[07:17] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vash: wait
[07:17] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe:
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> essential? or essentials? :P
[07:17] <vash> ok
[07:17] <nalioth> Dr_Willis: it is singular
[07:17] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vash: You can just skip to another console with ctrl + alt + F3
[07:17] <vash> sry, i keep hitting enter for some reason, sry i am spaming
[07:17] <lysis> Dr_Willis and nalioth     no i've not.   i am right now.
[07:17] <The_Universe> hello
[07:17] <vash> oh
[07:17] <nalioth> lysis: there is no "s" on essential
[07:17] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vash: yeah :D
[07:17] <The_Universe> excuse me is kubuntu exactly like ubuntu except that it uses kde instead of gnome as the default desktop?
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> :0
[07:17] <ssstormy> vash, you wanna know a clever way to reallly mess linux?  chmod 000 /* -R
[07:17] <vash> ;x thanks, will that bring me back lol
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> :)  heh..
[07:18] <lysis> checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!
[07:18] <seatouch> hey can anyon give me the command to install gmake and automake ?
[07:18] <ssstormy> The_Universe, not default.  kubuntu dosn't have gnome installed
[07:18] <ssstormy> seatouch, apt-get install gmake automake
[07:18] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, How do I kill these extra sessions?
[07:18] <lysis> now how would i go about fixing that error i just received?
[07:18] <The_Universe> ssstormy,  but otherwise its the same?
[07:18] <seatouch> ssstormy,  thanks
[07:18] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  they may not be actually running.. since they just crashed.
[07:18] <ssstormy> as best I know yeah
[07:18] <ssstormy> oh
[07:19] <ssstormy> The_Universe, because kubuntu is KDE, the apps will be diff
[07:19] <The_Universe> how is kde compared to gnome? ive used gnome for so long
[07:19] <seatouch> ssstormy,  apt-get install gmake automake
[07:19] <buulian> are there any wireless cards that work by default w/ linux?
[07:19] <The_Universe> and there are a few things in gnome that bug me
[07:19] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  'vncserver --kill :1' or whatever # they are.. also if you are sure they are dead. delete the log and pid files in .vnc
[07:19] <seatouch> ssstormy, : E: Couldn't find package gmake
[07:19] <ssstormy> KDE apps instead of gnome apps
[07:19] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vash: ctrl + alt + F7 should bring you back
[07:19] <Dead_Letter> dead like me
[07:19] <Dr_Willis> The_Universe,  its a tool. both have their good and bad points.
[07:19] <lysis> Dr_Willis,   any ideas how to fix this error?  checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!
[07:19] <ssstormy> seatouch, open synaptic and search gmake
[07:19] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vash: If not, just repeat with random other function buttons :)
[07:19] <seatouch> ssstormy,  ok
[07:19] <varsendagger> hey does anyone use anything like myspace?
[07:19] <Dr_Willis> The_Universe,  i mix and match them both.
[07:19] <varsendagger> !anyone
[07:19] <ubotu> probably 90% of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and YOU decide? <hint>
[07:19] <Dead_Letter> yo PuMpErNiCkLe ... where from?
[07:19] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe: lol thank you for dealing with my stupidity lol
[07:19] <varsendagger> there i did it
[07:19] <buulian> varsendagger, why?
[07:20] <Dr_Willis> lysis,  sounds like you need to install some of the X developer packages
[07:20] <ssstormy> Dr_Willis, in general Gnome feels more smooth and refined while KDE is more flashy-showy
[07:20] <ssstormy> that's my impression
[07:20] <varsendagger> my sister was telling me about it and i was looking at it and it sucks
[07:20] <buulian> duh
[07:20] <wpb> hi
[07:20] <nalioth> seatouch: there is no gmake (it's what the world calls "gnu make" which is what we have here)
[07:20] <Dead_Letter> ubotu, ur so right dood
[07:20] <ubotu> Dead_Letter: I'm not sure, is it larger than a breadbox?
[07:20] <Dr_Willis> ssstormy,  :P  some would use 'stronger' words. :P
[07:20] <buulian> varsendagger, it's run on windows and IIS, of course it sucks
[07:20] <varsendagger> is there something like it that is kickass ?
[07:20] <lysis> Dr_Willis, any you may recommend in particular?
[07:20] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, That didn't work.
[07:21] <buulian> varsendagger, yeah, i'm writing it
[07:21] <varsendagger> what is IIS?
[07:21] <seatouch> nalioth, how to install that using command line ?
[07:21] <Dead_Letter> uh.... some script running there
[07:21] <Dr_Willis> lysis,  recommend? the ones you need i guess. :P or install them all.
[07:21] <wpb> where can i get help installing ubuntu?
[07:21] <nalioth> ubotu: tell seatouch about compile
[07:21] <varsendagger> buulian, really i'll help
[07:21] <lysis> Dr_Willis, i don't know what ones there are. =)
[07:21] <buulian> warsendagger, it is microsoft's crappy attempt at a server software
[07:21] <ssstormy> seatouch, install dlocate.  then you can say "dlocate -name of file-" and it will tell you what package has it
[07:21] <varsendagger> i'll freash meat it
[07:21] <Dead_Letter> was I just talking to a bot? shame
[07:22] <Dead_Letter> lol
[07:22] <nalioth> ssstormy: there is no such thing as "gmake"
[07:22] <buulian> varsendagger, goto #myspace then
[07:22] <lysis> Dr_Willis, i'm a basic end user for the most part . . . i'm trying to convert MDF files to ISO since k3b won't burn MDF files . . .     so i found this KIso program and i have to ./configure and all that.
[07:22] <ssstormy> nalioth, didn't know.  Just pointed that person in the right way to look for it
[07:22] <nalioth> ssstormy: looking for the wind takes a lifetime and never succeeds.
[07:22] <buulian> varsendagger, what do you know?
[07:22] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe: Ok, i selected fglrx, and recieved a fatal error
[07:23] <PuMpErNiCkLe> o_O
[07:23] <Dr_Willis> lysis,  you sure kiso can handle them?
[07:23] <ssstormy> nalioth, heck I can't know every package that does or dosn't exist :)  they have to do a little searching themselves
[07:23] <vash> lmao
[07:23] <Dr_Willis> lysis,  only tools ive seen that even use those are Alcahol120% and DeamonTools :P
[07:23] <ssstormy> MDF is a form used for copyright protection kinda stuff.  kinda a special format, as best I know
[07:23] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, --kill is unrecognized.
[07:23] <lysis> Dr_Willis, honestly, no idea.     it appears to.      it says "will convert alcohol120% files to ISO"
[07:23] <Dr_Willis> tonyyarusso,  try -kill :P
[07:24] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vash: What was the error?
[07:24] <varsendagger> buulian, i am persistent, i haven't had a bunch of coding experience but i can findout waht i need to and i learn really fast
[07:24] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, There it is.
[07:24] <varsendagger> what do you have allready?
[07:24] <Dr_Willis> lysis,  good luck :P If its a game cd/dvd i on dont even bother burning them to disks any more. heh heh
[07:24] <vash> Error recieved is : XIO: Fatal IO Error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining
[07:24] <lysis> Dr_Willis, why do you say that? (it's not)
[07:24] <wpb> can anyone help me with a dual install?
[07:25] <varsendagger> wpb, whatup?
[07:25] <vash> and i recieved a few no symbols found
[07:25] <ssstormy> wpb, what two systems?
[07:25] <wpb> ubuntu and xp pro
[07:25] <varsendagger> buulian, what do you know?
[07:25] <varsendagger> wpb that will be easy
[07:25] <lilo> all done
[07:25] <vash> for Libglcore debug files
[07:25] <wpb> well it won't detect my raid
[07:26] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vash: k
[07:26] <The_Universe> i think i might give kubuntu a shot
[07:26] <The_Universe> kde 3.5 looks really put together
[07:26] <s_spiff{AWAY}> brb
[07:26] <wpb> or the part i made
[07:26] <The_Universe> i need to do a reinstall anyway
[07:27] <vash> and a Duplicate Symbol rol_long in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.o
[07:27] <Dr_Willis> lysis,  if its not a copy protected game cd.. why would they even bother with mdf as the image format :P
[07:27] <vash> also defined in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a
[07:27] <lysis> Dr_Willis, to make my life miserable . . .         it's a dvd disc.   Get Shorty . . .
[07:27] <Dr_Willis> lysis,  lol..
[07:28] <The_Universe> damn how do i kill someone with my nick?
[07:28] <nalioth> The_Universe: /msg nickserv help ghost
[07:28] <rixth> The_Universe, is your nick registered?
[07:28] <The_Universe> rixth, yeah
[07:28] <wpb> ...
[07:28] <Dr_Willis> lysis,  :P may be easier to use a torrent search and just find an .avi of the movie
[07:28] <rixth> The_Universe, /msh nickserv ghost YOUR USERNAME YOUR PASSWORED
[07:28] <sergio> hello, does anybody knows a program like AUTOCAD for Ubuntu?
[07:28] <rixth> Er, /msg
[07:28] <s_spiff> guys i installed bmpx..
[07:28] <lysis> Dr_Willis, i've been using usenet to obtain a great deal of things using all of my bandwidth . . . and possibly some of yours. =)
[07:28] <Dr_Willis> lysis,  that remindes me -  i never did get kiso installed.. lets see
[07:29] <lysis> and i'll be modding my xbox,    so i figure i MAY need this prog again . . .
[07:29] <Dr_Willis> lysis,  been getting tv shows over bittorrent myself :P
[07:29] <varsendagger> sergio, qcad is 2d and there is varicad  i am installing varicad righ now
[07:29] <glick> cool
[07:29] <glick> thanks rixth
[07:29] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe: Any ideas lol?
[07:29] <lysis> Dr_Willis, how do i determine what x developer tools i need?   like i said, i just wanna install this prog . . .    i don't develop things.
[07:29] <sergio> how can I install qcad and varicad?
[07:30] <s_spiff> i rebooted..and then..now everytime i click on dmpx in the menu..i just get the loading bmpx sign.;.and then nothing comes up... any clue whats wrong?
[07:30] <Dr_Willis> lysis,  i just basicially went down the list and started clicking.. and sicne there was a message about 'x' proberly some X-dev or similery named
[07:30] <feria> hi all... i just fucked my X.org, here is the history: installed initng when i rebooted any key A-Z changes my X resolution :( i re-configures x.org and i have the same results.. what were changed?  on the console the keyboard is ok
[07:30] <buulian> varsendagger, sorry about that- laptop died. anyways, are you truely interested and highly motivated?
[07:30] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vash: Working on it :)
[07:30] <lysis> i bet it's since i use Ubuntu and this is a kde prog . . .
[07:30] <wpb> anyone have any ideas on how to get ubuntu to install on a raid 0 , mine detects both harddrive and i try to make a raid and also the delete option
[07:31] <lysis> i bet if i installed kubuntu-desktop it would alleviate the problem.
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> lysis,  converting a mds to iso may not make a correct copy for some things.. the mds has extra info in it about the disk image.
[07:31] <lysis> it doesn't have kdevelop tools . . .
[07:31] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe: Thanks for putting up with me, very much appreciated =)
[07:31] <varsendagger> sergio, you can enable the multiverse in 5.10 and then use synaptic to install qcad
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> lysis,  kubuntu desktop will install the kde desktop - not the dev tools.
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> lysis,  of course if you want to use kiso - it IS a kde app.. so
[07:31] <seatouch> nalioth, i could not find the gnu make one...
[07:31] <varsendagger> varicad is more difficult, it seems to need KDE to run i am installing kde right now
[07:32] <varsendagger> google varicad
[07:32] <lysis> Dr_Willis, i've used other kde apps  . . . .    k3b is my burning prog. =)
[07:32] <varsendagger> i used pro/e and varicad seems to be pretty simular
[07:32] <s_spiff> anyone here tried installing the new bmpx?
[07:32] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vash: Try 'echo fglrx | sudo tee -a /etc/modules' and rebooting
[07:32] <tonyyarusso> I wonder if this is an issue involving the router...  Port forwarding, I've heard the term, how do I do it?  (Enable ports for ssh, with x tunnel, vnc)
[07:32] <Dr_Willis> lysis,   i got 200+Gb of space.. i install everything.
[07:32] <wpb> ok can soeone help me to get the live cd working
[07:32] <varsendagger> buulian, hey i can't make iany promises but myspace sux ther has to be something better
[07:33] <varsendagger> so yeah
[07:33] <vash> ok
[07:33] <lysis> Dr_Willis, my partition is only 10gb. =)
[07:33] <regfire> anyone recommend a good nntp program that can download and thread large files? Other than KLibido?
[07:33] <varsendagger> he is there an ubuntu wiki on podcasitng?
[07:33] <buulian> varsendagger, there isn't, not on that scale
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> lysis,  or as a 'quick fix' could see if theres an autopackage or 'klik' package for it. but I dont think there is.. kiso is very new.
[07:33] <buulian> or even close
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> regfire,  i tend to use 'pan'
[07:34] <lysis> so far so good after i installed the kdevelop Dr_Willis
[07:34] <lysis> nope
[07:34] <lysis> same one
[07:34] <lysis> checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!
[07:34] <wpb> i have a 6800 nvidia card and a lcd screen everytime it boots up in gnome the screen is un useable
[07:34] <lysis> x includes
[07:34] <lysis> add the correct path . . .
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> kdevelop is just a tool not the libs
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> or dev codes
[07:34] <lysis>   autoconf automake1.4 autotools-dev cvs kdevelop3-data kdevelop3-plugins
[07:34] <lysis>   libcvsservice0 m4
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> look in the developer section of synaptic :P
[07:34] <lysis> it installed all of that.
[07:34] <vash> When i type that command all it does is echo fglrx lol
[07:35] <lysis> Dr_Willis, are you sure that error is saying it needs a developer thing?  it is saying it can't find x includes.
[07:35] <varsendagger> to be hoest with you myspace seems to be a blog page that allows you to interact with contacts some how
[07:35] <nalioth> !xincludes
[07:35] <ubotu> When a program or configure script asks for "X includes", you should probably install the following packages: xlibs-dev   xlibs-static-dev   x-window-system-dev
[07:35] <varsendagger> hey is trillian an opensource project?
[07:35] <nalioth> lysis: what exactly are you trying to build?
[07:36] <lysis> KISO
[07:36] <gerald-volt> i can't seem to automount my ntfs partition
[07:36] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Willis, I think I've got it.  My issue isn't with vnc.  It's the router, and port nonsense.  My successes were at home where I don't have a router.
[07:36] <gerald-volt> this is what I have in my fstab
[07:36] <gerald-volt> /dev/sda3       /media/windows  ntfs    user,gerald        0       0
[07:36] <seatouch> can anyone tell me the gnu make ( gmake ) package name pls
[07:36] <s_spiff> varsendagger, i don think so.
[07:36] <s_spiff>  though you should check it out.
[07:36] <Dr_Willis> lysis,  the includes are developer things
[07:36] <nalioth> lysis: you'll need kde-devel, kdebase-dev, kdelibs4-dev and the above xincludes ubotu mentioned
[07:36] <jawshoewah> any firewall or security recomendations for ubuntu gnome
[07:36] <lysis> nalioth, i'm typing ./configure and it gives me that nasty error when i try to install KISO
[07:36] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vash: Did you include the pipe and the rest of the commmand?
[07:36] <s_spiff> jawshoewah, i think firestarter is what ppl will reccomend..
[07:37] <s_spiff>  i tried using it..it sorta scrwd up my net connection
[07:37] <s_spiff>  so removies it
[07:37] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe: do i need the ' around it
[07:37] <buulian> does anyone else think that ubuntu has more packages than necessary?
[07:37] <lysis> E: Couldn't find package xwindow-system-dev
[07:38] <liable> seatouch: make is gnu make
[07:38] <tonyyarusso> !portforwarding

[07:39] <jared_> How do I reset my ip
[07:39] <seatouch> liable, why is gmake not working then .. it shows that gnu make is there..
[07:39] <s_spiff> jawshoewah, yeah... apt-get or synaptic should do the trick
[07:39] <varsendagger> what is firestarter
[07:39] <tonyyarusso> Thanks nalioth.
[07:39] <jawshoewah> :)
[07:39] <s_spiff> jared_, i think its ifconf..
[07:39] <nalioth> seatouch: dont use "gmake" just "make

[07:50] <nalioth> nicholaspaul: look to your server window, please
[07:50] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe: under the section "Module" should there be a load fglrx?
[07:50] <Vultaire> hey, got a prob with my x server - I'm at a LAN party with a different monitor than normal, and I lose my display once it tries to start x since it's outside of my monitor's refresh range

[07:52] <LegoManiac> Does the Breezy version of ffmpeg NOT support jpeg image formats?
[07:52] <admrl> is there anyone that can help me getting my hp all in one printer to scan when i hit the scan button on it..?
[07:53] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe: I loaded up the extended log file, there are a few of the (WW) errors
[07:54] <LegoManiac> can someone running breezy try "ffmpeg -formats" and see if jpg is listed under image formats on yours?
[07:54] <zcat[1] > -bash: ffmpeg: command not found
[07:54] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe: should I type what they say

[07:56] <admrl> oh crap i thoguht you meant change password
[07:56] <zcat[1] > ucenik: I usually make a new login and copy their files over.. the username tends to end up in all kinds of rc files so just changing it breaks almost everything..
[07:56] <admrl> ya change everything from /home/user/
[07:56] <varsendagger> how do i install the kernel headers?
[07:56] <nalioth> varsendagger: use synaptic
[07:56] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vash: /msg them to me
[07:57] <hippie23> hello
[07:57] <LegoManiac> after you copy everything over, then chown -r <olduser> <new user> /home/<newuser>/
[07:57] <varsendagger> nalioth, cool  is it under system?
[07:57] <varsendagger> nevermind
[07:57] <LegoManiac> sudo chown i meant
[07:57] <vash> PuMpErNiCkLe: I dont think I can, i am not sure how to authenticate to send msgs
[07:58] <nalioth> LegoManiac: i dont think copying all the files and chowning is necessary for changing a username
[07:58] <nalioth> LegoManiac: that seems like mega-overkill
[07:58] <LegoManiac> how about mv /home/olduser /home/newuser
[07:58] <seatouch> nalioth, is there a wasy way to install postgresql
[07:58] <Madpilot> vash: /msg nickserv help

[08:01] <seatouch> nalioth, ........
[08:02] <Vashypooh> PuMpErNiCkLe: Im messaging you, is it working?
[08:02] <picasso> Vashypooh: you can use escape, escape - 1 switch to window 1
[08:02] <nalioth> Vashypooh: or the alt key
[08:03] <Vashypooh> Hehe i got it now, thanks guys =D
[08:03] <picasso> oh, i assumed the problem was alt didnt wokr D:
[08:03] <picasso> lazy to scrollup
[08:03] <nicholaspaul> hippie23, i believe dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86  should fix it.
[08:03] <Vashypooh> lol, no. I just have no idea what im doing ^-^
[08:03] <nalioth> picasso: it was a PEBKAC for a moment
[08:03] <hippie23> its xorg
[08:03] <hippie23> tried that
[08:04] <hippie23> didnt work
[08:04] <picasso> well w/ some ssh client / term settings / whatever, alt dont work
[08:04] <nalioth> nicholaspaul: we use xorg here
[08:04] <nicholaspaul> nalioth,  oh of course.. oops!
[08:04] <picasso> but most likely not within gnome-terminal / xterm / other ubuntu stuff
[08:04] <majd> Hey
[08:04] <majd> this is just a general question out of curiosity
[08:04] <nalioth> picasso: my alt key works fine in gnome-terminal and konsole and xterm
[08:04] <Pattmyn> Anyone ever see any kinda issues with 64 Ubuntu installed on a Compaq notebook?
[08:05] <picasso> i know
[08:05] <nicholaspaul> i made a stab,, tried to help =- i know i was close!
[08:05] <picasso> thats what im sayin
[08:05] <nalioth> picasso: the alt key doesnt work on macOSX terminals
[08:05] <majd> how do i add/modify gnome settings and preferences? For instance: make the tooltip come out right aligned, not centered. Adding ability to rearrange taskbar tabs etc...
[08:05] <picasso> well also on other os's, or depending on term settings
[08:06] <nalioth> picasso: the funny thing is: my alt key works when i'm ssh'd into an OSX box using irssi, but not when i'm using irssi locally on the OSX box
[08:06] <hippie23> I have a nvidia geforce4 video card, I tried using it, but the drivers killed my x server, I tried going back the the onboard intel 815 crap.... still no x, im running kubuntu breezy
[08:06] <picasso> naturally
[08:06] <picasso> osx is capturing the alt key
[08:06] <picasso> command key i guess it would be

[08:50] <pepsi> ackbahr, you have to add the device to /etc/fstab
[08:51] <tkroo> i have no sound :( where do i look to see if the sound card is even recognized?
[08:51] <ackbahr> pepsi: so I have to sudo /etc/fstab , and then what do I ad to it?
[08:52] <vskye> ernie_r - just copy what you're other drive does to fstab.
[08:52] <pepsi> ackbahr, something like `/dev/foo  /foobar  auto  rw,user,noauto  0  0`, where /dev/foo is the device it shows up as and /foobar is the mount point you want
[08:52] <ernie_r> vskye, thanks...
[08:53] <timfrost> tkroo, lspci or lsusb (for PCI or USB devices respectively)
[08:53] <ilba7r> tkroo, try lspci you should found your card there
[08:53] <tr011> thanks vskye now it's working =)
[08:53] <tkroo> thx i'll check it, that's in terminal i assume
[08:53] <ackbahr> pepsi: and how do I know what what element in /dev is the correct one?
[08:53] <vskye> tr011 - you're welcome
[08:53] <timfrost> tkroo, correct
[08:54] <tkroo> ok i see it. but what happen(ed) is when i plug in headphones to the audio out, system locks up. :(
[08:54] <tkroo> maybe it's a hardware problem with the card?
[08:54] <tkroo> i'm going to try it again now
[08:54] <pepsi> ackbahr, `fdisk -l` will show you what drives the computer sees
[08:54] <ilba7r> tkroo so you can play sounds right
[08:54] <vskye> ernie_r - welcome.. also do a google on fstab, tons of info.
[08:55] <tkroo> ilba7r, no
[08:55] <pepsi> ackbahr, is the drive formatted already?
[08:55] <tkroo> i can hear the internal speaker beep, but no audio other wise
[08:55] <hippie23> thanks for the help
[08:55] <tkroo> lemme try xmms again as a test before i plug in headphones
[08:55] <hippie23> I got my GUI back
[08:56] <ernie_r> vskye, trust me, I google and man tons before I come bug in here :P
[08:56] <ackbahr> pepsi: Yes, the drive is formatted.... Could it be /dev/sda ?
[08:56] <pepsi> ackbahr, its very likely
[08:56] <hippie23> the dpkg-reconfigure thing worked, the forums didnt say anything about the cd having to be in the drive
[08:56] <vskye> ernie_r - ;)
[08:56] <tkroo> i get a message that "couldn't open audio, check that soundcard is configured properly" ...
[08:57] <nalioth> hippie23: you can take the cd out of the equation if you like
[08:57] <ackbahr> pepsi: Ok. But then, when I start linux another time without pluggin it in, how will the system react if it is added into /ect/fstab?
[08:57] <hippie23> I was trying to do it this whole time thinking it did it over the net
[08:57] <hippie23> cuz nothing was ever mentioned about the cd
[08:58] <pepsi> ackbahr, the point of adding it to fstab is to get it to mount it automatically
[08:58] <zztopd> hi, there. i've got a message from "apt-get install foobar"  -- "Origin Signature check failed.. This deb might not be signed."-- how can i resolve this error?
[08:58] <hippie23> so I put the cd in, tried it, and it worked
[08:58] <pepsi> ackbahr, otherwise you could jsut mount it by hand each time
[08:58] <ackbahr> pepsi: So when absent, it just won't mount it.
[08:59] <hippie23> now... to try and install skype
[08:59] <nalioth> zztopd: you don't. the packager has probably not signed his pkg
[08:59] <nalioth> zztopd: can you get the program in source form?
[08:59] <ackbahr> pepsi: But in the present situation, my USB ley is also plugged in, and is sdb. Won't it be called sda if the HD is absent?
[08:59] <dell500> i changed my mtab file for my ipod, and now i can't umount it... giving me the error "Cannot create link /etc/mtab~
[08:59] <dell500>  Perhaps there is a stale lock file?"
[08:59] <pepsi> ackbahr, thats a good question, i dont know :)
[08:59] <tkroo> i'm going to try pulling out the audio card and putting it back in. bbl
[08:59] <nalioth> hippie23: if you edit your /etc/apt/sources.list  and put a # in front of the deb-cdrom line  it won't ever ask you again for the cd
[09:00] <ackbahr> :)
[09:00] <ackbahr> We'll see, it's not such a problem anyway!
[09:01] <zztopd> yes, i can get the program in source form.. but, i use repository only from archive.ubuntu.com
[09:01] <ackbahr> pepsi: is vfat a generic type name for fat32 and fat16, or is it just fat 32?
[09:01] <Stanton5331> what is the default root password?
[09:01] <ilba7r> !root
[09:01] <ubotu> By default, the root password is locked in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[09:01] <nalioth> Stanton5331: there is not an active root account by design
[09:01] <ilba7r> any one used dselect? front end for dpkg
[09:02] <nalioth> ilba7r: aptitude is more used than (prehistoric) dselect
[09:02] <ackbahr> pepsi: By the way, I think I have to reformat the external HD, fdisk -l tells me it looks like a real mess (Like "partition does not end on a cylinder limit", and so on....). What command should I use?
[09:02] <pepsi> ackbahr, not sure about that either.. try fat or msdos if fat doesnt work.. what are you doing with fat16 anyhow? :P
[09:03] <ilba7r> nalioth i am using aptitude just learned about dselect and needed more information. Thanx for your help
[09:03] <hippie23> it never did ask me for the cd
[09:03] <pepsi> ackbahr, you can use fdisk to do it, but you may want to install gparted.. then you get a fancy graphical thing
[09:03] <ackbahr> pepsi: Well, my USB key is fat16 ()
[09:03] <dell500> !mtab
[09:03] <ubotu> dell500: I give up, what is it?
[09:03] <ackbahr> I'll do that, then
[09:04] <pepsi> ackbahr, it sees the usb key though right?
[09:04] <ackbahr> Well, it sees it spontaneously, but then tries to open it in :media/ , and it won't appear there
[09:05] <ackbahr> pepsi: So I don't have an actual drive icon, with right-click actions like umount, and so on....
[09:05] <egkamp> vfat is win95, which makes me think means vfat is fat16,
[09:06] <pepsi> ackbahr, once you get it to mount nicely automatically, you should get an icon
[09:06] <ackbahr> Well, I spotted the vfat term on my win98 partition, which is fat32 for sure....
[09:06] <pepsi> ok
[09:06] <ackbahr> pepsi: so you mean add it to fstab,too?
[09:06] <pepsi> well to be honest it hsould be able to see the usb stuff anyhow
[09:06] <pepsi> i dunno why it doesnt
[09:07] <Stanton5331> Aha! forceing people to be more security aware, you evil bastards :P
[09:07] <pepsi> perhaps its cause it doesnt like how its formatted?
[09:07] <pepsi> i realy dunno
[09:07] <zztopd> nalioth, i use only "archive.ubuntu.com" repository. and some day ago "apt-get" wrote message  --debsig: Origin Signature check failed. This deb might not be signed.--
[09:07] <pepsi> i had a usb drive now without an entry in fstab and it shows up as /media/usbdisk
[09:07] <twitch101> can someone tell me hw to install a .deb package
[09:07] <ackbahr> Well, I can access it without problem, so it shouldn't be a partition problem, I suppose?
[09:08] <pepsi> ackbahr, so maybe im just confused now :(
[09:08] <HappyFool> !deb
[09:08] <ubotu> To install a deb: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
[09:08] <twitch101> thanks
[09:08] <ackbahr> pepsi: Well, mine is accessible as /media/[volume name] 
[09:08] <pepsi> ackbahr, aha
[09:08] <pepsi> right
[09:09] <HappyFool> installing debs directly is unusual; i recommend using the apt tools if possible
[09:09] <dell500> does anyone know how i can umount my ipod without ruining it? i forgot to make a backup of my mtab file before editing it...
[09:09] <ackbahr> pepsi: but won't show a drive icon in media:/
[09:09] <ackbahr> :)
[09:09] <Psi-Jack> Anyone here use mldonkey by chance?
[09:10] <twitch101> they arent available in synaptic
[09:10] <pro> guys, can someone help me?
[09:10] <zztopd> How  can i signe packages?  i use only "archive.ubuntu.com" repository. and some days ago "apt-get" wrote message  --debsig: Origin Signature check failed. This deb might not be signed.-- Any ideas? thanks
[09:10] <pepsi> ackbahr, you mean in computer:/// ?
[09:10] <twitch101> it was only 2 files
[09:10] <twitch101> i needed them for mplayer on a live disc
[09:10] <ackbahr> pepsi: By the way, gparted complains about many things, including GTK....
[09:10] <Psi-Jack> heh
[09:10] <pepsi> fun
[09:10] <Psi-Jack> ackbahr: Sounds about right. :)
[09:11] <pepsi> you running kubuntu i take it?
[09:11] <pepsi> and complains how?
[09:11] <zztopd> pro, whach happend?
[09:11] <pepsi> it let you install it?
[09:11] <HappyFool> dell500: well, there's also /proc/mounts (looks similar to /etc/mtab on my machine), but I'm not sure how you'd go about using it
[09:12] <ackbahr> pepsi: Well, when I use the shortcut to "storage medias" (via the little computer icon next to the K button in KDE), it brings me to a page addressed as media:/
[09:12] <ackbahr> pepsi: gparted was install, but won't start
[09:12] <pepsi> ackbahr, i see.. i dunno how to help you with that
[09:12] <ackbahr> Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
[09:13] <ackbahr> So I'll just use fdisk, then....
[09:13] <ackbahr> pepsi: (trying not to destroy anything by doing so!)
[09:13] <rage> Hey, I'm getting a strange error with Rythmbox when I start it up it gives me an error "Unable to browse for remote shares" - "Could not start browsing for music servers on your network. Rythmbox will continue to function, without this feature. Check your Avahi installation", its very annoying. Does anyone know how I could disable that feature.
[09:13] <HappyFool> dell500: check out 'man mount' -- search for /proc/mounts. That may provide you with a solution, though I do not guarantee that it will work
[09:13] <dell500> thanks, i'll try it
[09:14] <Stanton5331> sooo, does rythymbox play mp3's ?
[09:14] <pepsi> ackbahr, just be sure that whatever idsk you are editing is the disk you really intend to edit
[09:14] <HappyFool> !mp3
[09:14] <ubotu> it has been said that mp3 is a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[09:14] <skyerce> hello,every one,I'm a Chinese
[09:14] <PuMpErNiCkLe> !zh
[09:14] <ubotu> PuMpErNiCkLe: What?
[09:15] <PuMpErNiCkLe> hm
[09:15] <ackbahr> pepsi: Well, I suppose the safer is to umount my USB key, isn't it?
[09:15] <HappyFool> welcome skyerce
[09:15] <skyerce> thanks!
[09:15] <ackbahr> pepsi: (because I'm sure it's one of the sdX)
[09:15] <pepsi> ackbahr, yeah
[09:15] <pepsi> itll say how big the disk is too
[09:15] <pepsi> so if you have only 1 80G drive, you know which it is
[09:16] <skyerce> how to open gdmsetup in the root?I can't
[09:16] <ackbahr> pepsi: I did "umount /dev/sdb1". Is it enough?
[09:16] <skyerce> how to mount ntfs?
[09:17] <pepsi> ackbahr, i dunno..  you are going to format the hard drive right? im assuming /dev/sda since you say the usb key is sdb
[09:17] <HappyFool> skyerce: have you tried 'sudo gdmsetup' ? also, i think there's a link to GDM setup from the menu.
[09:17] <HappyFool> !ntfs
[09:17] <ubotu> from memory, ntfs is the filesystem used in Windows 2000 and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions, or writing to ntfs is risky and only experimental. Reading is OK
[09:17] <pepsi> so just make sure the size of the disk is right when you fdisk /dev/sda
[09:17] <ackbahr> pepsi: I think so too, but I want to remove the key to be really sure ....
[09:17] <pepsi> ok
[09:17] <skyerce> yes ,I play sudo setupgdm
[09:17] <skyerce> but it tells me
[09:18] <pepsi> ackbahr, i have to go, but it seems nobody else has taken interest in your problem
[09:18] <HappyFool> pasting here is frowned upon ;) (he said, pre-emptively)
[09:18] <pepsi> can i go anyhow? :)
[09:18] <skyerce> about "you can't" do it
[09:18] <ackbahr> pepsi: if I only type fdisk /dev/sda is it enough, will the size, ... be detected automatically?
[09:18] <pepsi> ya
[09:18] <ackbahr> Yes, of course, you can go... Thank you an awful big lot, it was a big help!
[09:18] <pepsi> good luck :)
[09:19] <ackbahr> pepsi: Have a nice day/night!
[09:19] <ackbahr> pepsi: Thank you....
[09:19] <dell500> HappyFool: no go on the /proc/mounts... no sign of my ipod on there :(
[09:19] <HappyFool> skyerce: have you tried 'Settings -> Login screen setup' (i'm not 100% sure of the menu position)
[09:21] <skyerce> thanks
[09:21] <skyerce> bye!
[09:22] <stram> anyone know of a backport reposity for dapper that includes azereuS?
[09:22] <arnieboy> hi seveas please ban me for making automatix
[09:23] <arnieboy> u wudnt suck any less anyway
[09:23] <gerald-volt> anyone know of a linux ddr game
[09:23] <HappyFool> dapper doesn't have backports yet -- my understanding is that backports require a 'future' release to backport from
[09:23] <odat> ddr game?
[09:23] <emdash> i think he means dance dance revolution
[09:23] <gerald-volt> dance dance revolution
[09:24] <odat> oh
[09:24] <emdash> use a playstation emulator
[09:24] <steri> I think at Stepmania has linux version also?
[09:24] <gerald-volt> that's what i was looking for
[09:24] <odat> pydance
[09:24] <stram> HappyFool: ah, i guess i'm out of luck on azereus then-- can i just use a badger backport? badger came right before dapper, right?
[09:24] <Stanton5331> muhahaha got mp3 playback :)
[09:25] <Madpilot> stram: Badger is the current stable, Dapper the current development - Dapper will be released as stable in April
[09:25] <HappyFool> stram: i don't know, but i think breezy-backports are *from* dapper
[09:25] <emdash> does anyone here have problems with audio sync with the mplayer that's available in multiverse?
[09:27] <doronunu> hi
[09:27] <HappyFool> dell500: it looks like there are a few ipod related bugs for ubuntu on bugzilla. maybe check them out and see if there's any workarounds
[09:27] <doronunu> where can i find msttfonts
[09:27] <dell500> ooo good point
[09:27] <Madpilot> doronunu: they're in Multiverse
[09:28] <Stanton5331> !wine
[09:28] <ilba7r> doronunu, msttcorefonts the correct name
[09:28] <pro> zztopd, thanks, im trying to configure my aterm and it says i need to configure my .Xdefaults but i can't find it :S
[09:28] <arnieboy> Madpilot, my dear friend.. u havent been badmouthing automatix for a long time on the forums
[09:28] <ilba7r> doronunu, just if you are looking for the wrong package
[09:28] <arnieboy> where are u these days?
[09:28] <egkamp> pro: when I went to edit my .Xdefaults, there was no file, I had to create it in my home directory
[09:29] <emdash> pro: that would be because .Xdefaults is an invisible file
[09:29] <doronunu> tried them both but it not find it
[09:29] <varsendagger> is there just a simple drag and drop web page builder for ubuntu or linux in general
[09:29] <ilba7r> !tell doronunu about repos
[09:29] <Madpilot> arnieboy: I'd assumed that you'd cleaned up your act. Perhaps I was wrong?
[09:29] <ewz> hi
[09:29] <doronunu> i opened all thr repo
[09:29] <emdash> pro: for what it's worth i didn't configure my aterm
[09:29] <ps2wayne> I have a laptop, and it has a ATI Radeon Xpress 200M video card, i've installed the latest ATI drivers, though if  DRI in enabled in the xorg file, i loose video when x starts and it pretty much locks up... any ideas?
[09:29] <arnieboy> naah.. its still breaking a billion boxes everyday Madpilot
[09:29] <HappyFool> i don't know about drag-and-drop, but i think nvu and bluefish are gui web-page editors
[09:29] <arnieboy> just like the old days
[09:29] <emdash> pro: i just aliased it in my shell and modified it's entry in the menu system
[09:30] <ilba7r> doronunu, i just searched for it msttcorefonts
[09:30] <emdash> so that it always started with the same flags
[09:30] <gerald-volt> why does my computer suddenly log off sometimes?
[09:30] <Madpilot> arnieboy: at least with the GPL properly applied there's a safer alternative out there now
[09:30] <odat> cuz you used automatix gerald-volt
[09:30] <odat> lol
[09:30] <gerald-volt> ?
[09:30] <emdash> pro: if you're using ubuntu go into i think it's /usr/applicatoins and look for aterm's .desktop file
[09:31] <pro> emdash, yep i know it's invisible with the . but still it's not there
[09:31] <emdash> pro: open it and change the exec= line
[09:31] <emdash> add whatever options you like
[09:31] <pro> emdash, oh ty, let me try that
[09:31] <doronunu> well i was serching for msttfonts not msttcorefonts ill try it now
[09:31] <arnieboy> lol.. wonder how many of ur wives I ever fucked.. lol
[09:31] <arnieboy> i guess i didnt
[09:32] <dell500> Cannot create link /etc/mtab~
[09:32] <dell500> Perhaps there is a stale lock file?
[09:32] <arnieboy> but it wud appear I did
[09:32] <dell500> anyone know what kind of error that is?
[09:32] <Burgundavia> arnieboy, please remember the Ubuntu code of conduct while here
[09:32] <arnieboy> Burgundavia, how are u doing?
[09:32] <varsendagger> warning: could not open /dev/net/tun: no virtual network emulation
[09:32] <emdash> is burgundavia a bot?
[09:32] <Burgundavia> emdash, nope
[09:32] <npfet> heh
[09:33] <emdash> i see
[09:33] <Burgundavia> emdash, of course, I could be programmed to respond to that exact question
[09:33] <varsendagger> i am trying to set up winxp with qemu and i go tthat error
[09:33] <tsaberi> Hi all. I have just installed unbuntu 5.10. It's an 'upgrade' from a fedora install. I kept my /usr/local/ and /home partitions intact. I can't seem to be able to recursivly change ownership of the old /home directories to the new system accounts
[09:33] <tsaberi> it will set normaol files and directories, but completely ignores hidden files and dirs
[09:34] <arnieboy> yeah but u cudnt be programmed to reply to a howdy now can Burgundavia ?
[09:34] <emdash> i think what you want to do is change /etc/passwd
[09:34] <pro> emdash, i found a file in /usr/lib/menu that contains this ?package(aterm):needs="X11" section="XShells"\
[09:34] <pro>   title="Aterm" command="/usr/bin/aterm"
[09:34] <Burgundavia> arnieboy, nope but hello
[09:34] <emdash> pro: yeah that's the one
[09:34] <HappyFool> tsaberi: you're using 'sudo chown -R' ?
[09:34] <emdash> change that command string
[09:34] <arnieboy> howz everything back home? Burgundavia ?
[09:34] <tsaberi> emdash: well, as root I was trying to simply change change the ownership from old account names to new. It doesw work, but not on hidden shit
[09:35] <emdash> i'm not sure what you want to get aterm to do
[09:35] <tsaberi> HappyFool: I'm acutally loged in as root
[09:35] <tsaberi> and nothing seems to work
[09:35] <pro> emdash, ok, thanks a lot
[09:35] <tsaberi> I've been using LInux for years, so I can't figure out why chown -R doesn't change the hidden stuff's perms
[09:35] <emdash> tsaberi: yeah it would have been a lot easier to change the group id's in /etc/passwd
[09:36] <emdash> you'll probably be putting out fires for a while
[09:36] <tsaberi> emdash: I tried changing the user id from 1000 => 500 (an old fedora user id) and the account was unusable
[09:37] <ilba7r> tsaberi, i did it here more than once using the sudo command no problems
[09:37] <pro> emdash, i want to configure the transparency and fonts
[09:37] <emdash> tsaberi: well it's not quite that simple
[09:37] <npfet> tsaberi: doesn't change dot-file perms?
[09:37] <tsaberi> ilba7r: like I said, t did sort of work. It changed all of the normal files and shit, but hidden dirs and files never got changed. makes no sense at all
[09:38] <tsaberi> npfet: correct
[09:38] <ilba7r> tsaberi, in my case it changed all hidden files too
[09:38] <HappyFool> tsaberi: tried 'chown -R * .*' ?
[09:38] <sampan> sudo chown -R worked for me too when i moved from mandriva to (k)ubuntu
[09:38] <tsaberi> HappyFool: naw, I tried just *. Let me try that
[09:39] <emdash> pro: fwiw i use aterm -tr- sh 60 -fg antiqueWhite
[09:39] <ilba7r> tsaberi, i made a stupid mistake to backup one of my accounts as root without preserving ownership. ended up chown for the account using sudo chown -R and it worked
[09:39] <HappyFool> tsaberi: i get hidden files *in* normal directories changing with 'chown -R *' but not a hidden file in the top-level dir (where chown was run)
[09:39] <tsaberi> HappyFool: You're the man
[09:39] <tsaberi> that did it
[09:39] <thefamousnomo> hello people
[09:39] <tsaberi> thanks a ton
[09:39] <HappyFool> np :)
[09:40] <thefamousnomo> setting up an ubuntu box for my sister, she only has dial up!
[09:40] <emdash> pro: that gives me transparency with a slight tint and a white text color
[09:40] <thefamousnomo> ubuntu seems to have picked up the modem
[09:40] <HappyFool> me too. yay for 56k
[09:40] <emdash> pro: oh wait there's a typo
[09:40] <thefamousnomo> what should my settings be and how can i instigate a dial up connection?
[09:40] <emdash> pro: fwiw i use aterm -tr -sh 60 -fg antiqueWhite
[09:41] <npfet> anyone here going to SCALE (socal linux expo)?
[09:41] <emdash> play around with it
[09:41] <doronunu> found it
[09:42] <pro> emdash, perfect! that worked excellent, thanks for ur herlp
[09:42] <thefamousnomo> ubuntu couldnt autodetect my modem port so ive set it /dev/ttySO
[09:42] <thefamousnomo> seems to activate ok, but when i go back into networking it is deactivated!
[09:42] <Vashypooh> omgosjh
[09:42] <Vashypooh> im in X
[09:43] <Vashypooh> i fixed it
[09:43] <Vashypooh> im king of teh worlddd
[09:43] <thefamousnomo> just wondering if its something daft!
[09:43] <emdash> pro: i find that it works best with darker backgrounds
[09:44] <thefamousnomo> any ideas guys?!?!?!?
[09:44] <pro> emdash, yep
[09:44] <HappyFool> thefamousnomo: you can play with wvdialconf
[09:45] <HappyFool> thefamousnomo: also, look in /var/log/messages for 'ppp' debug messages (wrong password etc)
[09:45] <emdash> oh man
[09:46] <emdash> wvial
[09:46] <emdash> i've been there
[09:46] <thefamousnomo> HappyFool: will have a look, should a connection be attemtped when the modem is activated?
[09:47] <HappyFool> thefamousnomo: when the ppp conection is activated, yes
[09:47] <thefamousnomo> HappyFool: bear with me, ill have a look!
[09:48] <HappyFool> thefamousnomo: assuming the speaker is on, etc., you should hear dialing noises
[09:49] <arnieboy> who hates automatix here say aye and pm me
[09:49] <HappyFool> thefamousnomo: also, check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[09:50] <Madpilot> arnieboy: quit trolling. thanks.
[09:50] <arnieboy> Madpilot, its my turn to troll now thanks
[09:51] <egkamp> what is automatrix?
[09:51] <arnieboy> its an evil app egkamp
[09:52] <tkroo> well crud! i think i fried my power supply somehow with my sound card :(
[09:52] <arnieboy> and its very hush hush egkamp
[09:52] <thefamousnomo> wvdialconf shows ttyS0 is busy, or cannot be found. cant have thsi modem configured properly! ill have a look at the wiki
[09:53] <HappyFool> if it's a winmodem, i recommend scanModem (linked from the wiki page)
[09:53] <ilba7r> tkroo, just wonder how you did that so i can try it on a friend box ;)
[09:53] <tkroo> :)
[09:53] <tkroo> well i just took the card out, put it back in and tried to power up. got nothing :(
[09:54] <tkroo> so it's back to the mac for now.
[09:54] <johny06> hi,i am using debian stable & wanted to know where can i find the options for bittorrent-gui
[09:54] <arnieboy> egkamp got scared Madpilot
[09:55] <nalioth> ubotu: tell arnieboy about conduct
[09:55] <tkroo> at least it's a computer that was given to me. so i'll just need to buy another powersupply i guess.
[09:55] <arnieboy> nalioth whassup?
[09:55] <nalioth> arnieboy: nothing but your choice of language
[09:55] <ilba7r> tkroo, that is really unfourtunate. I know how you feel
[09:56] <johny06> i keep on getting rejected port 6881+blacklisted
[09:56] <arnieboy> nalioth thanks for hating me .. automatix is going strong at over 1000 downloads a day
[09:56] <tkroo> heh, yeah i was all excited about linux. never had a chanve to play with it before. set up mDNSResponder and mt-daapd had it all working. then ZAP, i gots nothing :(
[09:56] <tkroo> hehe
[09:56] <arnieboy> and robotgeek keeps lurking in the automatix thread once every two days
[09:56] <arnieboy> just making sure u remained updated
[09:56] <nalioth> arnieboy: i dont hate anyone, friend. i just point out to folks in here that vulgarities aren't necessary for conversation
[09:56] <javad> how can I access to NTFS file in ubunto 5.10
[09:57] <johny06> mount it
[09:57] <nalioth> arnieboy: your conversation really should go in #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:57] <nalioth> ubotu: tell javad about ntfs
[09:57] <javad> yes plz
[09:57] <nalioth> javad: look to your private messages
[09:57] <arnieboy> nalioth why dont the two of us start off on a clean slate and make an example?
[09:58] <nalioth> arnieboy: join me in #ubuntu-offtopic please, and we can discuss anything you like
[09:58] <johny06> sudo mkdir /media/windows
[09:58] <arnieboy> nalioth a simple pm carrying a howdy from u will win me over
[09:58] <javad> sorry naliton I am beginner in ubuntu how can I go to private message?
[09:59] <nalioth> arnieboy: a scintillating conversation in #ubuntu-offtopic will carry you longer
[09:59] <javad> sorry nalioth
[09:59] <ilba7r> !ntfs
[09:59] <ubotu> ntfs is, like, the filesystem used in Windows 2000 and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions, or writing to ntfs is risky and only experimental. Reading is OK
[09:59] <nalioth> javad: look at your irc client for new tabs with the name "ubotu" on it
[09:59] <ilba7r> javad follow uboto link
[09:59] <arnieboy> nalioth i scintillate no more.. those were the days when automatix wasnt GPL-ed
[10:00] <johny06> arnieboy,would you mind telling me where is the options or conf file for bittorrent-gui
[10:00] <arnieboy> i dont use bittorrent johny06 am extremely sorry
[10:00] <johny06> thanks
[10:00] <arnieboy> but it shd be in your home folder
[10:00] <javad> in IRC I cannot find ubuntu ?!!!!!
[10:00] <arnieboy> open nautilus
[10:01] <johny06> it's not
[10:01] <arnieboy> and do a ctrl-H
[10:01] <johny06> allready checked
[10:01] <nalioth> johny06: this URL may help you http://www.dessent.net/btfaq/cmdline.shtml
[10:01] <tsaberi> hey kids I'm back.
[10:02] <arnieboy> all user specific directories will reside in your home directory johny06
[10:02] <teclis> Hi, I'm looking for a time tracking tool for tracking my own project activities. On Windows I used http://www.advancedtimereports.com. I'm looking for a similar tool on linux. Has anyone a hint?
[10:02] <arnieboy> thats a unix-wide rule
[10:02] <tsaberi> Anyone know if KDE is available for 5.10, and how do I get it on here? I checked the "add applications" but did not see it (although I saw a mess of KDE apps)
[10:02] <arnieboy> with no exceptions
[10:02] <selinium> javad: what irc client are you using?
[10:02] <ilba7r> johny06, you need to be registered to recieve pms
[10:02] <Tomcat_> tsaberi: Install "kubuntu-desktop"
[10:02] <sampan> tsaberi  look for "kubuntu-desktop" -- it's there
[10:02] <tsaberi> t6hanks
[10:02] <javad> the default irc that it is in ubuntu
[10:02] <javad> am I right?
[10:03] <Madpilot> teclis: there's an app called gnotime you can install
[10:03] <Vashypooh> lol how do i run a .run
[10:03] <teclis> madpilot: thank you
[10:03] <reider> hello
[10:03] <nalioth> Vashypooh: ./file.run
[10:03] <javad> sorry selinium I want to access NTFS file in ubuntu 5.10 do u know how can do this?
[10:03] <selinium> javad: so you are using xchat?
[10:03] <ilba7r> thanx nalioth for the correction
[10:03] <nalioth> javad: did you follow the link that was posted for you?
[10:04] <selinium> javad, it says at the top....
[10:04] <Madpilot> javad: have a look at this link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[10:04] <Vashypooh> Nalioth its not workin
[10:04] <selinium> nalioth, He is having problems finding the post
[10:04] <nalioth> Vashypooh: were there instructions that came with the file.run ?
[10:05] <Vashypooh> its ATI drivers
[10:05] <Vashypooh> it says run it lol
[10:05] <tsaberi> a search in the "add applications" for kubuntu returned nothing
[10:05] <javad> thank you vey much madpilot
[10:05] <nalioth> javad: copy this and paste it into your web browser  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[10:05] <nalioth> Vashypooh: perhaps you need to 'chmod +x file.run' first
[10:05] <Stanton5331> how do i add programs to the "thing thats not called start menu" menu?
[10:06] <Tomcat_> tsaberi: File => Advanced... search there
[10:06] <Vashypooh> no file or directory
[10:06] <javad> thanks nalioth
[10:06] <Madpilot> Stanton5331: a lot of applications will add themselves to that menu
[10:06] <johny06> ilba7r,to be registered where
[10:07] <nalioth> ubotu: tell johny06 about register
[10:07] <HappyFool> tsaberi: in synaptic (i think it might be started by 'Advanced' in Add Applications), look for kubuntu-desktop. Or look under System -> Settings -> Synaptic (something like that)
[10:07] <Vashypooh> nalioth:
[10:07] <Vashypooh> nalioth: I got it to work, thanks
[10:08] <Vashypooh> crap, its saying i need to run it as a super user
[10:08] <binary_777> sudo
[10:09] <tsaberi> HappyFool: thanks again (you too tomcat_)
[10:10] <arnieboy> nalioth come over to #ubuntuforums
[10:10] <ackbahr> How can I get su rights in a konqueror window?
[10:10] <tsaberi> Ubuntu is a lot differnet then RH and Fedora. Those are the only distros I have ever used on my desktop
[10:11] <arnieboy> nalioth lurks in the shadows
[10:11] <nalioth> ubotu: tell ackbahr about kdesu
[10:12] <nalioth> ackbahr: there is no "su" in ubuntu by default
[10:12] <binary_777> but have sudo
[10:12] <binary_777> if you want to get su rights ,you can do this : sudo -H -s
[10:12] <binary_777> then
[10:12] <binary_777> input password
[10:13] <ackbahr> Thank you nalioth and ubotu !
[10:13] <nalioth> binary_777: the root account is not active by design, and enabling one breaks functionality
[10:13] <HappyFool> i believe sudo -i is recommended
[10:16] <binary_777> what's  it mean 'konqueror window'
[10:17] <nalioth> binary_777: there is a kde program called "konqueror"
[10:18] <binary_777> sorry ,i don't know .
[10:20] <ackbahr> Well, actually the problem is rather one if _setting permission_ for disks.... How do I allow all users to write on, let's say, /dev/sda1?
[10:21] <ackbahr> (seems more sensible this way, doesn't it?)
[10:22] <korptix> Ok
[10:22] <korptix> !pastebin
[10:22] <ubotu> methinks 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.ubuntu-nl.org
[10:22] <HappyFool> ackbahr: are you setting up an fstab entry for this mount?
[10:22] <ackbahr> no
[10:23] <korptix> heres my ERROR
[10:23] <korptix> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7142
[10:23] <HappyFool> ackbahr: using a 'mount' command then?
[10:23] <s_spiff{AWAY}> brb
[10:23] <ackbahr> Oh, sorry, the disk does have a fstab entry
[10:23] <korptix> ...
[10:23] <ackbahr> HappyFool: (I'm mixing up my drives....)
[10:24] <korptix> welll..
[10:24] <HappyFool> ackbahr: well, regardless, you can use a umask=000 option to allow everyone read/write access
[10:25] <korptix> helloooooooooooo
[10:25] <korptix> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7142
[10:25] <ackbahr> so in fstab, I write "umask=000" in the "options" column?
[10:26] <javad> hello to all of u as I try before I really cannot access to NTFS file would u plz tell me this matter step by step?
[10:26] <HappyFool> ackbahr: yeah. separate options with commas
[10:26] <javad> I am using ubuntu 5.10
[10:26] <lucasvo> !ntfs
[10:26] <ubotu> I guess ntfs is the filesystem used in Windows 2000 and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions, or writing to ntfs is risky and only experimental. Reading is OK
[10:26] <korptix> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7142
[10:27] <lucasvo> javad: see what ubotu said
[10:27] <ackbahr> HappyFool: ok.... If there is only "default" now, must I delete it, or write "default,umask=000"? And then, how do I make this new fstab active?
[10:27] <javad> I don't know coz I am a beginner
[10:27] <lucasvo> ubotu tell javad about ntfs
[10:28] <javad> would you plz tell me step by step lucasvo
[10:28] <lucasvo> javad: read the link
[10:28] <HappyFool> ackbahr: i'm not 100% sure. I just have umask=000 for my ntfs mount
[10:29] <ackbahr> ok, I'll try it this way.... And then log out-in, or reboot, or it will work just like that?
[10:29] <HappyFool> korptix: looks like a bad file
[10:29] <ilba7r> ackbahr, you do not need to log out in. just type sudo mount -a
[10:29] <lucasvo>  /etc/init.d/mountall.sh
[10:30] <javad> lucasvo I read this link before but it didn't any happen in my macine
[10:30] <Madpilot> javad: that NTFS page is already laid out step-by-step, mostly - go thru each part carefully
[10:30] <HappyFool> ackbahr: unmount and remount
[10:30] <javad> I mean in my comouter
[10:30] <lucasvo> ^^is the script you have to run for remount , HappyFool
[10:30] <ackbahr> ilba7r: "sudo mount -a" will remount all described in fstab? No problem with the active system partition?
[10:31] <korptix> Ok
[10:31] <ilba7r> ackbahr, did not have any problems when using it
[10:32] <ps2wayne> I have a laptop, and it has a ATI Radeon Xpress 200M video card, i've installed the latest ATI drivers, though if  DRI in enabled in the xorg file, i loose video when x starts and it pretty much locks up... any ideas?
[10:32] <ilba7r> ackbahr, just if you changed the mount point for a dev you might need to umount it first to prevent having it mounted twice
[10:32] <ackbahr> ok, I'll try that. Thank you!
[10:32] <HappyFool> ackbahr: according to man mount, defaults means 'rw,suid,dev,exec,auto,nouser,async'
[10:32] <Marlun> If I want to automaticly start apache after a reboot, I'm
[10:32] <nalioth> ps2wayne: use the VESA video driver til the ati drivers catch up
[10:32] <Marlun>  supposed to add something to a file, what and where? =)
[10:32] <ps2wayne> what do you mean until they catch up
[10:33] <ps2wayne> i get video with fglrx
[10:33] <ps2wayne> just not when the dri is enabled in xorg.conf
[10:33] <timmd> hi all
[10:33] <timmd> new here
[10:34] <Irvine> how to install gcc?
[10:35] <timmd> Irvine:search for it under packages
[10:35] <timmd> soory, Irvine
[10:35] <ilba7r> irvine install build-essential
[10:35] <ackbahr> Great, I got write rights on my drives! Great!
[10:35] <ilba7r> Irvine, will install everything you need
[10:36] <tsaberi> ok , once more :) hehe
[10:36] <Irvine> then,how to open it?
[10:36] <tsaberi> kubuntu installed successfully. schreen resolution won't change from 640x480
[10:36] <Madpilot> !fixres
[10:36] <ubotu> Please read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[10:36] <ilba7r> Irvine, how to open what ?
[10:36] <Irvine> gcc
[10:36] <lucasvo> 2
[10:37] <tsaberi> so, I download the NVIDIA drivers , when I try to install the driver, the shell script bitches that it can't find 'ld'
[10:37] <tsaberi> uummm, where did it go ?
[10:37] <ilba7r> Irvine, i guess you need a front end for gcc right try anjuta
[10:37] <HappyFool> tsaberi: i recommend using the ubuntu packaged drivers
[10:37] <HappyFool> !nvidia
[10:37] <ubotu> I guess nvidia is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368
[10:38] <tsaberi> HappyFool: cool, thanks
[10:38] <ilba7r> Irvine, if you use kde ie kdubuntu try kdevelop
[10:41] <GNU32> I have a problem with the x server. With the colour depth set to 16, it will not start. However, with it set to 24, it starts without a problem.
[10:41] <Irvine> ilba7r,if i want to install with binary package,what should i do?
[10:41] <Marlun> What file should I edit if I want to run a application at startup? In the apache docs it says "rc.local" is this correct for Ubuntu? And where can I find this file?
[10:41] <GNU32> My problem is that I have to have it set to 16 to be able to play a game called Hardwar.
[10:41] <lucasvo> Irvine: see what ubotu said
[10:42] <lucasvo> ubotu tell Irvine about nvidia
[10:42] <ilba7r> Irvine, you should try first to find the package in deb format enable the extra repos and search for your package with synaptic
[10:42] <lucasvo> read the wiki tutorial
[10:42] <ilba7r> !tell Irvine about repos
[10:42] <Seveas> !goodmorning
[10:42] <ubotu> Gooooooooooooooooooooooooodmorning #ubuntu! It looks like another beautiful ubuntuous day, may humanity be with you and your problems be solved :)
[10:42] <GNU32> !goodnight
[10:42] <ubotu> Syntax error in line 1, GNU32
[10:42] <GNU32> bah.
[10:42] <ilba7r> Seveas, dawn here but good morning to you too
[10:42] <twilight> Marlun, you can use bum (BootUp Manager)
[10:43] <GNU32> They have to think of a different name for that.
[10:44] <Marlun> twilight: ok, sounds more advanced then adding "apachectl start" to a startup file? =) I'll search for bum ,thanks.
[10:44] <ilba7r> Irvine, but if you can not find the package. All bin packages come with instructions on how to install it. Look for install tex file or read me file aftar you untar the package
[10:44] <HappyFool> Marlun: also checkout update-rc.d
[10:44] <ubuntu> howdy
[10:44] <Marlun> HappyFool: ok, thanks =)
[10:45] <Marlun> is Bum a dekstop app because I'm doing all this from a server install, so I don't have gnome installed.
[10:45] <twilight> Marlun, ok, update-rc.d :)
[10:46] <sambagirl> morning is there anyone who knows of PSM for mozilla? how i can update for the complete program usingn apt-get? is there a way? why ubuntu does not include full mozilla i dont understand.
[10:46] <HappyFool> update-rc.d should already be installed. there's also a 'text UI' thing called rcconf
[10:47] <sambagirl> and i dont see download for it on mozilla.org
[10:48] <Irvine> which download manager most fastest?
[10:49] <Marlun> Is the update-rc.d file in /usr/sysvinit/ and /usr/sbin/ the same?
[10:49] <HappyFool> i don't have a /usr/sysvinit
[10:50] <Marlun> hmmm ok, then I use the other one :)
[10:50] <Psi-Jack> Is there an UltraVNC package?
[10:50] <dproffessa> hello
[10:50] <HappyFool> oh, /usr/share/sysvinit
[10:51] <Marlun> HappyFool: yeah, sorry :P
[10:51] <HappyFool> no, they appear to be different (using 'diff')
[10:51] <HappyFool> not to mention that one's a shell script and the other's a perl script ;)
[10:52] <Marlun> HappyFool: Oh :) I'm new to this, I can't find anything about it on google, can I just add "apachectl start" at the end? :)
[10:54] <GNU32> ATTENTION!
[10:54] <GNU32> sorry
[10:54] <Marlun> I'll just test it.
[10:54] <stoned> hi, I have an nvidia gefore 2mx.  I installed nvidia-glx-legacy/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-10-686(also the kernel I am using), nvidia-settings, and whatever dependencies they need.  I then added the user to the audio/video groups.  I also did nvidia-glx-config enable.  the file nvidia.ko exists under /lib/modules/kernel###/nvidia and under /volatile/.  when I start X, I get the error "Failed to load the nvidia kernel module" then it ...
[10:54] <nalioth> Irvine: none are. it all depends on the server speed
[10:54] <stoned> ... shows the path of the nvidia.ko file saying can't insert it. please help
[10:54] <twilight> Marlun, if you have to add not much commands, you can simple add these to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
[10:55] <ackbahr> Good bye all, and thanks for the help....
[10:55] <Psi-Jack> Hmmm.
[10:55] <stoned> it was working 10 minutes ago, I rebooted the computer, and now it starts giving that error about nvidia.ko
[10:55] <Irvine> my download speed low
[10:56] <GNU32> stoned: Make sure you compiled the nvidia module with the same version of gcc as your kernel was compiled with
[10:56] <stoned> oh jesus
[10:56] <stoned> i think i compiled it with 3.4
[10:57] <GNU32> :D
[10:57] <stoned> is the 2.6.12-10 gcc4?
[10:57] <GNU32> stoned: Is this Ubuntu Breezy?
[10:58] <GNU32> stoned: I think you'll find that the 2.6.12-10-686 kernel was compiled with gcc 3.4.
[10:59] <Mr_Milenko> ^-debian guy
[10:59] <stoned> GNU32: breezy it is.  I compiled the module with 3.4 then
[10:59] <ydo> anyone got a java virtual machine working under ubuntu.. suns for example?
[10:59] <GNU32> stoned: How do you know? :)
[11:00] <stoned> because I set CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4 | export CC myself
[11:00] <ilba7r> ! tell ydo about java
[11:00] <GNU32> stoned: breezy doesn't come with gcc-3.4 installed I THINK. can't remember
[11:00] <ubotu> ilba7r: What?
[11:00] <GNU32> stoned: oh ok
[11:00] <stoned> yes Iinstalled it
[11:00] <ilba7r> !tell ydo about java
[11:00] <GNU32> no problem then
[11:00] <HappyFool> Marlun: no
[11:00] <HappyFool> Marlun: the idea is you use the update-rc.d command to update the way the system starts services
[11:00] <HappyFool> Marlun: try 'update-rc.d --help' or 'man update-rc.d'
[11:00] <ilba7r> !tell ydo about javadebs
[11:00] <Marlun> HappyFool: ok, thanks :)
[11:00] <stoned> I can't  figure this out
[11:00] <stoned> I compiled it with 3.4 gcc
[11:01] <stoned> it won't work
[11:01] <ydo> ilba7r: so tell me?
[11:01] <ilba7r> ydo, follow ubotu links
[11:01] <nihilisticangel> do any of you know if I can use a winmodem with Ubuntu?
[11:02] <ilba7r> ydo, if you want the easy way add seveas repositories and follow the javadebs link
[11:02] <stoned> GNU32: any idea?
[11:03] <Toma-> nihilisticangel: sometimes...

[11:05] <stoned> it still won't load the module, i know someone must have gone through this before
[11:05] <GNU32> stoned: no.
[11:05] <ilba7r> nihilisticangel, try linmodems.org. you can also install scanmodem and it will tell you what to do

[11:19] <devwal> Could someone please help me with getting gnome to display correctly?
[11:20] <ilba7r> can someone tell me how to teach ubotu to forget inappropriate comments if he does not have the answer to a question?
[11:20] <devwal> It is displayed completely garbled and unusable
[11:20] <Hobbsee> ilba7r: which factoid?
[11:21] <Madpilot> ilba7r: "forget <fact name>" - but fixing commands is just as easy
[11:21] <nalioth> ilba7r: that is up to cafuego
[11:21] <nalioth> Madpilot: ilba7r wants to get rid of the "are you on ritalin" and "are you smoking crack"
[11:22] <ilba7r> ok thanx for all the responses just though no answer is better than ritalin and such comments
[11:22] <Madpilot> why? :P
[11:23] <devwal> Someone please help me figure out how to get ubuntu to recognize ATI Mobility Radeon 9700
[11:23] <devwal> I have no idea where to start
[11:25] <Madpilot> devwal: have you seen the ATI page of the Ubuntu wiki?
[11:25] <Madpilot> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[11:26] <devwal> I cant even force Madpilot Thank you -- could you tell me how to force gnome to quit so I can get to a console?
[11:26] <devwal> minus the first part :)
[11:27] <Mr_Milenko> Madpilot: you never sleep do you..
[11:27] <twilight> devwal, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[11:27] <devwal> i dont have init
[11:27] <Madpilot> devwal: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
[11:27] <Mr_Milenko> everyone has init.d
[11:27] <devwal> cntrl alt backspace didnt work for me
[11:27] <Mr_Milenko> lol
[11:27] <Madpilot> Mr_Milenko: I run on pure caffeine :P
[11:27] <devwal> im starting with no init i believe
[11:28] <devwal> but im probably wrong
[11:28] <Mr_Milenko> Madpilot: I found a store that sells Jolt here in Cleveland
[11:28] <devwal> is there a way to stop it from booting into gnome via an arg at boot?
[11:28] <Mr_Milenko> that stuffs good.. 99 Cents a bottle
[11:28] <Mr_Milenko> :D
[11:28] <nalioth> devwal: you'll need to do this  >> "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[11:29] <devwal> at boot?
[11:29] <Mr_Milenko> jesus christ..
[11:29] <greennick> howdy - i have a working (bootable) linux system on a laptop w/ no CD but internet OK - can i install ubuntu through apt-get or another method?
[11:30] <devwal> heh *sigh* -- I've gotten pretty far by installing Ubuntu on an external firewire hardrive on my Powerbook -- I'm not looking for a medal, but give me the benefit of the doubt
[11:32] <Vashypooh> can anyone help me with these ati drivers lol, im getting moderately far
[11:32] <devwal> Vashypooh: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[11:33] <devwal> did you check that out?
[11:33] <Vashypooh> lol yea long time ago
[11:33] <Vashypooh> been battleing this for a long time now
[11:33] <ydo> anyone got matlab working?
[11:33] <devwal> heh, I was just referred to it, I can't help you much
[11:33] <devwal> Vashypooh: Are you trying to set it up on a Powerbook?
[11:33] <jesper> I need to add "max_scsi_luns=8" to the module "scsi_mod" when its loaded.. where do I put it?
[11:34] <devwal> Vashypooh: which card?
[11:34] <greennick> any chance i can use apt-get on a running barebones debian system to install ubuntu via the net?
[11:34] <Vashypooh> nah its a 9600 XT 256 meg, i am in Ubuntu on the fglrx drivers
[11:35] <Vashypooh> as far as i can tell atleast
[11:35] <pribeiro> greennick: try adding ubuntu rep
[11:35] <Vashypooh> the xorg.conf has it listed as fglrx drivers, and i am in here so about it lol
[11:35] <devwal> Heh, this whole thing has been a huge hassle
[11:36] <devwal> I will be very relieved when it's up and running
[11:36] <pizux> hi
[11:36] <devwal> my machine/external drive is pissed I keep restarting it
[11:36] <pizux> got this problem fyre: error while loading shared libraries: libcairo.so.1: cannot open shared ob ject file: No such file or directory
[11:36] <greennick> pribeiro: ubuntu rep?  what do you mean rep?
[11:36] <pizux> how to lauch fyre?
[11:36] <greennick> pribeiro:  oh, nevermind - repositories
[11:36] <Vashypooh> error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[11:36] <Vashypooh> is what im getting atm
[11:36] <greennick> pribeiro:  ok, which repositories, and what do i start installing?
[11:37] <bimberi> !repos
[11:37] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[11:37] <pizux> i know tht is a link problem
[11:37] <bimberi> greennick: breezy is the current version
[11:37] <pribeiro> greennick: maybe ubuntu-base...
[11:38] <bimberi> greennick: so if you make your sources.list look like http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047
[11:38] <devwal> Vashy, I'm going to google for you
[11:38] <devwal> :)
[11:38] <greennick> pribeiro:  ok, cool ...think ubuntu-base would get me started to get the rest going?  thanks
[11:38] <devwal> Vashypooh: Is this related to running KDE or Gnome?
[11:38] <devwal> When does the error come up?
[11:38] <bimberi> greennick: do you want a basic system, gnome, kde, xfce?
[11:38] <pribeiro> greennick: i guess so...
[11:39] <Vashypooh> i am in Gnome
[11:39] <pribeiro> i'm getting a strange error... on loadind Firefox
[11:39] <pribeiro> gives some Pango-CRITICAL because some fonts...
[11:39] <greennick> bimberi:  gnome would be fine, sure
[11:39] <greennick> bimberi: so i guess i could go with ubuntu-base and then gnome, etc.
[11:40] <bimberi> greennick: ok, installing ubuntu-desktop would be equivalent to installing the ubuntu system :)
[11:40] <greennick> bimberi:  i guess i'm just confused as to where the difference between ubuntu and debian comes in as far as the installation - ah, that's making sense
[11:40] <pribeiro> must i reinstall something ? what ?
[11:42] <nbound> if ive used the nvidia drivers from nvidia, do i need to do anything before i upgrade?
[11:43] <greennick> where can i find an ubuntu repository that's not just .iso files?
[11:43] <devwal> Could someone tell me why gnome looks completely garbled?  _nothing_ displays properly, even if my radeon drivers arent installed, it should still show me some kind of comprehensible 2d image of gnome, right?
[11:43] <Psi-Jack> Okay.. This sucks. One of the best features of mIRC is the channel listing and how it sorts the list alphabetically and everything. Konversation, doesn't do that, and croaks on huge listings. :/
[11:43] <devwal> it looks like there are 6 desktops smashed together
[11:44] <nalioth> devwal: that is your refresh rate
[11:44] <greennick> greennick:  nevermind on my last comment
[11:44] <devwal> nalioth: Is there an easy fix?
[11:45] <nalioth> devwal: fix your refresh rate to match your display?
[11:45] <devwal> rephrase that: how doul you fix it?
[11:45] <devwal> would*
[11:45] <bimberi> greennick: k (they both use dpkg/apt - if that was what you meant)
[11:46] <devwal> nalioth: is that in xfree-config?
[11:46] <nbound> if ive used the nvidia drivers from nvidia, do i need to do anything before i upgrade to newer nvidia drivers?
[11:46] <nalioth> devwal: nope. we don't use xfree86. run in a console "sudo dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[11:48] <devwal> thank you nalioth
[11:51] <nbound> if ive used the nvidia drivers from nvidia, do i need to do anything before i upgrade to newer nvidia drivers? anyone???
[11:55] <whitynz> no nbound

[11:59] <nbound> whitynz, thanx
[12:01] <Effi> hi
[12:01] <Effi> is it correct, that there is no screen when shuting down ubuntu?
[12:02] <Madpilot> no screen?
[12:02] <Kimppa> Hello. I know this is a long shot question, but does anyone know a _simple_ 2D floor plan software for linux?
[12:02] <Effi> i meant the boot screen that is visibile when booting....the black golden one @ Madpilot
[12:02] <Hobbsee> Effi: true
[12:02] <Ribs> Effi: You do get text telling you what's going on tho
[12:02] <nbound> Effi, yeah there is and it tells u what ubuntu is doing
[12:03] <Effi> nbound, Ribs yes, thats right, but is it correct, taht the ubuntu image as is is available at booting, isnt shown?
[12:03] <Ribs> Effi: That is correct.
[12:03] <Effi> ok, thanks Ribs nbound and Hobbsee
[12:03] <Hobbsee> no problems
[12:05] <Effi> can me someone give a proxy url?
[12:05] <Madpilot> Effi: google for proxy servers, there are lots available
[12:06] <Effi> Madpilot, i had done that already, but i testet nearly 20 URLs but either one worked
[12:06] <s_spiff> anyone here tried installing openbox?
[12:07] <Madpilot> need sleep - later, all
[12:07] <Ribs> Effi: http://anon.inf.tu-dresden.de/index_en.html
[12:07] <Ribs> Unless your doing bad things, that URL should do what you want
[12:08] <kicolobo> Hi, I'm having problems trying to play DVDs on my ubuntu distro. Does somebody here can help me?
[12:09] <s_spiff> kicolobo, check out the wiki
[12:09] <s_spiff> search Restricted Formats
[12:09] <Effi> Ribs, but that is a programm?
[12:09] <s_spiff> you'll get your solution
[12:09] <Ribs> Effi: Which offers you a anonymous proxy connection
[12:09] <kicolobo> Where is the wiki?
[12:09] <kicolobo> on ubuntu.com?
[12:09] <Hobbsee> kicolobo: wiki.ubuntu.com
[12:09] <Ribs> Effi: 99.9% of the people who ask me for a proxy are up to no good, and I don't support that behaviour.
[12:09] <whitynz> wiki.ubuntu.com
[12:10] <Ribs> Effi: So, JAP should provide what you want
[12:10] <whitynz> gg lag =/
[12:10] <Effi> ah ok, but the point is, the proxy needs to be apart of germany @ Ribs
[12:10] <blade> How can I load a decent media player, simular to windows or Real player onto Ubuntu?
[12:10] <Ribs> blade: Realplayer has a Linux version
[12:10] <devwal> I am having a bummer of a time trying to fix gnome -- it shows up completely garbled and unusable, and i cant stop it from going straight to it on boot -- i tried xntrl+alt+f1, but it also completely unreadable, how in the hell can i fix this /desperate
[12:10] <Ribs> blade: But I would hardly call Windows Media Player or RealPlayer 'decent'
[12:11] <samu2> blade, yeah real and windows are pretty crap
[12:11] <samu2> blade, use VLC
[12:11] <Ribs> devwal: Can you boot into recuse mode okay?
[12:11] <devwal> not sure how to do that
[12:11] <devwal> im a newb
[12:11] <Ribs> 'rescue', even
[12:11] <blade> yea, but im jus looking for somthing that will play some audia and movies i have on disk that ubuntu hasnt been playing
[12:11] <Ribs> devwal: okay, you know the 'Press ESC to enter grub menu' bit on bootup?
[12:11] <samu2> whats the default group for users?
[12:11] <devwal> Ribs I am using yaboot
[12:12] <Ribs> oh
[12:12] <devwal> I don't have that menu I don't believe
[12:12] <Ribs> PPC system/
[12:12] <Ribs> ?
[12:12] <samu2> i tried to google for linux group but it just gave me hits for actual linux user groups
[12:12] <devwal> yessir, on an external hardrive
[12:12] <s_spiff> boss...did anyone install OpenBox?
[12:12] <s_spiff> blade
[12:12] <Ribs> Hrm, I'm not an expert on PPC systems
[12:12] <s_spiff> u want real player?
[12:12] <devwal> is there a rescue mode for yaboot?
[12:12] <Ribs> You could try popping in the Install CD, there is a rescue mode there
[12:13] <Ribs> but I dunno how to fix your problem, as I don't think my fix would have worked on a PPC system
[12:13] <Ribs> devwal: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=95 <-- post in there maybe? With details about your system
[12:13] <devwal> It's really wierd, I can read the console boot squence, and then boom, gnome starts and my system looks terrible
[12:13] <devwal> nothing is readable at all
[12:14] <Ribs> Have you tried Ctrl+Alt+- (Minus key) ?
[12:14] <samu2> where can i find info about groups?
[12:14] <Ribs> That should change resoultion, and may work better with your monitor.
[12:14] <devwal> i tried cntrl+alt+f1
[12:14] <devwal> i think it might be a refresh rate problem
[12:14] <devwal> or at least that is what someone earlier said
[12:14] <Ribs> yeah, try keypad plus or minus
[12:14] <Ribs> That will force X to lower resoultion
[12:14] <Ribs> and may fix your problem
[12:14] <devwal> much appreciate, thank you

[12:40] <nalioth> vermoos: i know nothing about emacs
[12:41] <vermoos> nalioth: yeah, i thought it would be smarter to leave it on and just hide the baks in the browser
[12:41] <vermoos> nalioth: ... if possible
[12:41] <Psi-Jack> Man. THAT's what I need. ogmrip! That looks like the ultimate DVD ripping front-end. Only annoyance is, it's gnome-based, and it's not available as an ubuntu package.

[12:42] <vermoos> nalioth: probably, i'll ask on emacs and see

[12:50] <nnonix> er, ok .... 2.5-3 fortnights
[12:50] <nalioth> nnonix: a fortnight would be excellent, but i suspect you're in for 2 or more of em
[12:51] <nnonix> damn volunteers
[12:51] <C-O-L-T> which driver should i install for a canon i250
[12:51] <midwinter> I got impatient after a week so downloaded it on dialup instead.
[12:52] <Stork> great, ubuntu crashed again
[12:53] <nnonix> Anyone know if there is a working totem plugin for Firefox 1.5? Hmmmm? Anyone, anyone??
[12:53] <BogoMIPS> Anyone else here have the problem, when upgrading from Hoary to Breezy, that all their icons were replaced with 'blank page' icon?
[12:54] <Stork> how do i run kde instead of gnome?
[12:54] <Myrtti> install it and at login choose it as your wm
[12:54] <Stork> i have installed it
[12:55] <nalioth> Stork: at your login screen, click 'sessions'
[12:55] <Stork> ok
[12:55] <C-O-L-T> which driver should i install for a canon i250
[12:56] <nalioth> C-O-L-T: it would help you you'd ask a question with more info in it (i personally have NO idea what a canon i250 is)
[12:56] <joergd> With large displays everything is rendered kind of "big" (KDE). Is there a way to forcibly reduce the DPI the X-Server/WM is using?
[12:56] <Psi-Jack> C-O-L-T: Google is your friend.
[12:56] <C-O-L-T> nalioth: canon i250 is a printer
[01:00] <dukebody> i can't execute a binary file generated by freepascal. it has execution rights. what could it be????

[01:04] <sh4d0x> hmm i'll try, thnx dukeboy

[01:11] <jbl> anybody familiar with gnome-keybinding-properties ?
[01:14] <boabsta> hi guys, anyone know how to connect to the cups admin page? it is asking for a username and password but not accepting anything

[01:14] <nalioth_zZz> ubotu: tell dukebody about root
[01:15] <sh4d0x> dukebody, i did a reconfigure and it worked,  i came back in the x11 folder and changed the xorg.conf by xorg.conf.backup, everythings works fine know, but the xconfigfile created by the reconfigure need to be deleted, how can i deleted it? it's only reading file

[01:24] <sh4d0x> orion2012, ok, brb
[01:25] <turbofisk> is there a program to look at fonts in ubuntu?
[01:25] <ORiON2012> turbofisk: gnome has a font viewer
[01:25] <Psi-Jack> Hmmm./
[01:25] <dukebody> sh4d0x, what file are you trying to remove?
[01:25] <turbofisk> running fluxbox atm
[01:25] <Paradosso> hi everybody
[01:25] <ORiON2012> turbofisk: gnome-font-viewer
[01:26] <turbofisk> ok thanks
[01:26] <Psi-Jack> Is totem supposed to be gnome's video player?
[01:26] <Paradosso> how do I take a screenshot of a video file with ubuntu?
[01:26] <ORiON2012> Psi-Jack: it is Gnome's media player
[01:26] <Psi-Jack> Oh.. My god..
[01:27] <Psi-Jack> I'm not utterly disgusted with gnome. LOL. :)
[01:27] <Psi-Jack> Err, now.. Not not.
[01:27] <ORiON2012> Paradosso: you can take a screenshot through Totem, Edit->Take Screenshot on the menu bar
[01:27] <turbofisk> ORiON2012: it wants me to supply it with a font, there isn't one that has list?
[01:27] <turbofisk> I'm trying to find a good terminal font with has nordic letters
[01:28] <TCTCH> hi is there something like"fruityloops" for linux avaiable?
[01:28] <Psi-Jack> turbofisk, nordic letters, as in Elder Futhark?
[01:28] <ORiON2012> turbofisk: visit fonts:// in anutilus
[01:28] <ORiON2012> turbofisk: nautilus *
[01:28] <Psi-Jack> turbofisk, Or.. more common-day stuff? :)
[01:29] <shadox_> orion2012, it doesn't work
[01:29] <turbofisk> Well the background is that I seem to have two camps of fonts
[01:29] <shadox_> orion2012, getting the same error
[01:29] <turbofisk> one which I can use in fluxbox (artwiz for example), and one that I can use in windows and programs
[01:29] <shadox_> rm: cannot remove `/etc/x11/xor.conf.200601141259': Onbekend bestand of map
[01:30] <ORiON2012> shadox_: then I'm guessing the file does in fact not exist, you don't believe it or what?
[01:30] <Psi-Jack> My god.. Totem truely really sucks! It won't even let me setup deinterlacing options for the xine engine? Egawds man! What happened to gnome?
[01:31] <crimsun> Psi-Jack: you can always hack the config file
[01:31] <ORiON2012> turbofisk: so are you looking for bitmap fonts... or you already have them?
[01:31] <Psi-Jack> crimsun, Yeash. That much trouble for a simple option? :)
[01:31] <ORiON2012> Psi-Jack: Totem has always been "simplified"
[01:32] <Psi-Jack> ORiON2012, Too simplified, I must say.
[01:32] <shadox_> orion2012, my xserver crashed, i did a reconfigure, then i rebooted and everything worked fine, i replaced the xorg.conf 'in which i made changes" by the backup, now my notebook always uses the "reconfige file" which i can't delete :s
[01:32] <turbofisk> My problem I guess is that I can find some fonts with fc-cache and some with xlsfonts
[01:32] <turbofisk> So I have two camps
[01:32] <ORiON2012> ah
[01:32] <turbofisk> aterm can't find my artwiz fonts for example
[01:32] <mwe> Psi-Jack: use whatever suits your needs. I use mplayer and beep-media-player
[01:32] <turbofisk> which aren't bitmap
[01:33] <turbofisk> (they were found as bitmap a couple of days ago though)
[01:33] <ORiON2012> turbofisk: I thought artwiz were bitmap fonts
[01:33] <Psi-Jack> mwe, Yeah. I know. I was just wanting to see where gnome has gone throughout the years I haven't used even Linux. And quite frankly, I'm very displeased with gnome.
[01:33] <turbofisk> oh they maybe are then
[01:33] <turbofisk> but I can find them with fc-cache
[01:33] <mwe> Psi-Jack: me and Linus too
[01:33] <ORiON2012> turbofisk: ubuntu doesn't use bitmap by default I believe
[01:33] <turbofisk> and I use them with a theme in fluxbox
[01:33] <mwe> Psi-Jack: but we don'g wanna start that in here :)
[01:34] <turbofisk> no I know, I turned it on after alot of work :)
[01:34] <Psi-Jack> The only good thing in gnome I see, these days, is , still their terminal wrapper libraries.. Whatever gnome-terminal is using, that is.. And.. Nautilus. It's okay, so far.
[01:34] <alexissoft> hi
[01:34] <mwe> Psi-Jack: did you read this http://mail.gnome.org/archives/usability/2005-December/msg00021.html ?
[01:34] <turbofisk> which is why i find it weird that I still have two camps
[01:35] <C-O-L-T> how to convert rpm to deb using alien?
[01:35] <C-O-L-T> so what are the scripts?
[01:35] <ORiON2012> mwe: Ist that the Linus post?
[01:35] <C-O-L-T> i mean what to write to terminal
[01:35] <mwe> ORiON2012: yeah.
[01:35] <mwe> ORiON2012: but we don't wanna start the discussion. it's off topic
[01:36] <Psi-Jack> mwe, Wow...
[01:36] <turbofisk> ORiON2012: maybe I should just ask what smartlooking terminal-font you are using?
[01:36] <turbofisk> and if it has nordic letters :)
[01:36] <turbofisk> and hope to satan it works :)
[01:36] <ORiON2012> turbofisk: terminus
[01:37] <Psi-Jack> mwe, I'm quite pleased to read those words, coming from Linus himself. "Please, just tell people to use KDE."
[01:37] <ORiON2012> turbofisk: no idea about Nordic letters
[01:37] <turbofisk> gonna check
[01:37] <Java_the_Hutt> when i try to compile a C program, compiler complaines it can't find stdio.h or similar basic header files . How can  i fix it ?
[01:38] <mwe> Psi-Jack: He's always liked statements with an attitude though :|
[01:38] <Psi-Jack> turbofisk, Are you talking common-day nordic letters, or futhark?
[01:38] <turbofisk> common-day
[01:38] <Psi-Jack> mwe, Heh. He's a very blunt man. Kinda makes me wonder if he's a Capricorn like myself. :)
[01:39] <turbofisk> couldn't load terminus
[01:40] <ORiON2012> Java_the_Hutt: you have linux-kernel-headers installed?
[01:40] <Psi-Jack> Rhythmbox is Gnome's music player, I assume?
[01:41] <turbofisk> fuck I hate when stuff doesn't work for apparent reasons
[01:41] <midwinter> yes.
[01:41] <shadox_> Psi-jack, actually there are a lot of music players like, amaroc, rythmbox, xmms, bmp, ...
[01:41] <Psi-Jack> shadox_, I know that. And it's amaroK. :p   I was specifically wondering what Gnome considered theirs. :p
[01:42] <Psi-Jack> Now, why the heck won't rhytmbox play my MP3?
[01:42] <shadox_> psi-jack, did you install the w32 codecs?
[01:42] <Psi-Jack> Yes.
[01:43] <selinium> Anybody here used nicotine [the p2p application, not the alkaloid!] 
[01:43] <shadox_> psi-jack also, the gstreamer?
[01:43] <Psi-Jack> But.. Umm. Why would the w32codecs have anything to do with Rhytmbox? :)
[01:43] <Psi-Jack> Don't tell me that Rhytmbox depends solely on gstreamer!
[01:43] <shadox_> psi-jack, dunno, it's general mp3 stuff
[01:43] <selinium> Psi-Jack, mp3 is a proprietory format.
[01:43] <Psi-Jack> gstreamer-mad should cover the Mp3 part, no?
[01:44] <shadox_> psi-jack, i followed the wiki page, and everything works fine here
[01:44] <selinium> Psi-Jack, So all open source programs can not be shipped with the codec
[01:44] <cleo> Psi-Jack: yes
[01:44] <mwe> Psi-Jack: only if thing is using gstreamer
[01:44] <turbofisk> ORiON2012: you have any ideas for me on how to find a good fontface when stuff is crapping out?
[01:44] <selinium> Psi-Jack, Alot of the programs you use a re just GUI ontop of other programs.
[01:45] <mwe> Psi-Jack: Personally I gave up on gstreamer for now because it's not integrated very well with kde apps by now
[01:45] <Psi-Jack> Well, if Rhythmbox uses gstreamer, and I have gstreamer-mad installed.. Then Mp3 should play just fine.
[01:45] <Psi-Jack> mwe, I despise gstreamer, so far. It's horrible. IMHO of course. :)
[01:45] <Psi-Jack> I'm about ready to just apt-get remove gstreamer completely.
[01:46] <selinium> Psi-Jack,  I dont use rhythmbox myself, i much prefer xmms
[01:46] <mwe> Psi-Jack: Actually it looks like a very promising api. kde is going to switch to using it as well I read somewhere
[01:46] <ORiON2012> turbofisk: not particularly
[01:46] <shadox_> psi-jack, i'm just a newbie, but i followed the wiki page and everything works fine
[01:46] <mwe> Psi-Jack: but it's annoying when it doen't work
[01:46] <mwe> Psi-Jack: which is all the time for me
[01:47] <Psi-Jack> shadox_, Yes.. Well, I'm a long time user of Linux. Just a bit rusty since I haven't used Linux in about 2 years.
[01:47] <Psi-Jack> mwe, Yeah. Heh.. Ditto for me, so far, too.
[01:47] <mwe> Psi-Jack: kde?
[01:47] <Psi-Jack> mwe, Oh.. No, gstreamer. KDE works perfectly for me.
[01:47] <mwe> Psi-Jack: yeah
[01:47] <mwe> Psi-Jack: i mean are you using it in kde
[01:48] <Psi-Jack> No. I'm in gnome now. Playing around.
[01:48] <Psi-Jack> I wanted to see what Gnome was like these days.
[01:48] <shadox_> can some help me with my removal problem? i can't delete xorg.conf.backup3 :s
[01:48] <mwe> Psi-Jack: scary aint it? :)
[01:48] <Psi-Jack> And quite frankly. I'm pissed. :)
[01:48] <ORiON2012> Psi-Jack: Ubuntu arguably has the best GNOME desktop out there, so if you don't like Ubuntu's you should definetly find something else
[01:48] <mwe> shadox_: use sudo
[01:49] <turbofisk> hmm, I think my input is wrong in aterm, how do I fix this?
[01:49] <Psi-Jack> ORiON2012, I use Kubuntu just fine, thank you. :)
[01:49] <turbofisk> is it my input in general that is wrong?
[01:49] <selinium> shadox_,  sudo rm /path/to/xorg.conf.backup3
[01:49] <mwe> shadox_: normal users don't have permission to tamper with system files just like that
[01:49] <turbofisk> in firefox nordic letters show up
[01:49] <mwe> shadox_: only windows allows such sillyness
[01:49] <shadox_> selinium, mwe, i tried already, but it doesn't work
[01:50] <selinium> shadox_, it will, you must be getting the path wrong
[01:50] <shadox_> mwe, selinium, it sais "file or folder is unknown"
[01:50] <mwe> shadox_: then your system is broken. But my guess would be you're not typing the correct name or command or something though
[01:50] <mwe> shadox_: you're not typing the correct name then
[01:50] <selinium> shadox_, where is the xorg.conf.backup3 file?
[01:50] <shadox_> mwe, selinium, i'll paste my input in terminal
[01:51] <mwe> shadox_: use the pastebin, don't paste in the channel
[01:51] <shadox_> ok
[01:51] <mwe> !paste
[01:51] <ubotu> I guess paste is please use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ or #flood to paste large amounts of text
[01:51] <shadox_> mwe i know ;)
[01:51] <Psi-Jack> Okay. screw this. I'm going back to KDE. BRB
[01:52] <selinium> shadox_, it is probably sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup3
[01:52] <selinium> shadox_,  But it depends where you put the backup!
[01:53] <shadox_> selinium mwe    =>  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7143
[01:54] <selinium> shadox_, BIg X in X11
[01:54] <mwe> shadox_: you're typing the wrong name
[01:54] <mwe> shadox_: cd /etc/X11/
[01:54] <mwe> shadox_: then ls too see what's there
[01:54] <mwe> shadox_: then sudo rm what you wanna get rid of
[01:54] <selinium> mwe: he used x11 not X11
[01:54] <mwe> selinium: yeah
[01:55] <shadox_> selinium ok, i'll try and if it not works, i'll try mwe 's solution
[01:55] <selinium> shadox_, it will! :) The file structure is case sensitive
[01:55] <rixth> How do I put a .desktop file in the Gnome menu?
[01:55] <aidehua> My ubuntu-installer keeps crashing (and therefore being restarted) when it gets to the 'harddrive-detection' phase.  How can I see why it is failing?
[01:55] <aidehua> (syslog is unhelpful)
[01:56] <ORiON2012> rixth: you want to edit, or are you authoring one for a different reason?
[01:56] <selinium> rixth, sudo apt-get install smeg      It a menu editor
[01:56] <inkysplat>  /msg nickserv identify 1094lunar
[01:56] <selinium> inkysplat, ooops!
[01:56] <ORiON2012> 3rd time tonight
[01:56] <inkysplat> yea opps _
[01:57] <shadox_> selinium, didn't work
[01:57] <selinium> inkysplat, what IRC client do you use?
[01:57] <inkysplat> xchat
[01:57] <inkysplat> i've not been on IRC for a while tho
[01:57] <rixth> selinium, thank you. ORiON2012 I want to add a new one
[01:57] <selinium> inkysplat, then you can set it up to do it automatically
[01:58] <inkysplat> will do, thanks
[01:58] <selinium> inkysplat, Shall i show you?
[01:58] <Psi-Jack> Ahh much better... Sorta.. :)
[01:58] <ORiON2012> Psi-Jack: there is no pleasing you
[01:59] <selinium> shadox_, private message?
[01:59] <shadox_> mwe, your way works  thnx   to check if it boots right, i'll reboot my system, if i'm not back within 2 minutes, i'm formatting
[01:59] <Psi-Jack> ORiON2012: I'm quite pleased, actually. :)
[01:59] <selinium> ok, no worries
[02:00] <mwe> shadox_: you just removed a backup file, right?
[02:00] <Psi-Jack> I'm just using kvirc now, instead of xchat, or my normal, konversation. Hence the "sorta" earlier.
[02:00] <selinium> mwe, I wonder how your way worked and mine didn't? Strange! :)
[02:00] <ORiON2012> I love ultimatums involving formatting, hi-larious.
[02:00] <Paradosso> hi everybody
[02:00] <ORiON2012> hello
[02:00] <selinium> Paradosso, hi there!
[02:01] <mwe> selinium: probably he typed the wrong path name
[02:01] <Paradosso> how do I take a screenshot of a video clip? It keeps pasting me black screen!
[02:01] <ORiON2012> Paradosso: try x11 or xshm video, xv video won't work
[02:01] <Psi-Jack> I do seriously wish that kvirc would adopt KDE's native MDI features, instead of reinventing their own.
[02:01] <Paradosso> what do you mean exactle ORiON2012, I'm using mplayer
[02:02] <ORiON2012> Psi-Jack: tried konversation?
[02:02] <ORiON2012> Paradosso: mplayer -vo x11 youfile.mpg
[02:02] <ORiON2012> Paradosso: then try to take an SS
[02:02] <glatzor> Paradosso, use the totem video player and choose "take screenshot" from the menu "eit"
[02:02] <Psi-Jack> ORiON2012: Yeah. That's my normal as of late. It's got some issues of it's own though. The text interface on it's a bit slow.
[02:02] <glatzor> edit
[02:02] <mwe> Psi-Jack: konversation is better. irssi beats them all though :)
[02:02] <selinium> ORiON2012, you now your stuff! :)
[02:02] <ORiON2012> selinium: no, I really don't
[02:02] <shadox_> mwe, i wanted to use my nvidia tv out function, did something wrong and x server "crashed" i did a reconfige and it created a file xorg.conf.200601141259, i rebooted and replaced the "changed file" by the backup and reboted again but i noticed that the reboot still was using the reconfigure file in stead of the xorg.conf
[02:03] <selinium> mwe: the only time I use irrsi is when I have borked X, I should really learn it better!
[02:03] <Psi-Jack> There we go.
[02:03] <ORiON2012> mwe: I'm on irssi in KDE, sort of ironic
[02:03] <mwe> shadox_: reinstalling is a bad solution though. fix it instead
[02:04] <ORiON2012> Paradosso: any luck?
[02:04] <CactusWiZaRd> what else Windows emulators are than Wine?
[02:04] <Psi-Jack> Heh. ksirc would've actually been a really good IRC client, had it been properly developed on, really.
[02:04] <ORiON2012> CactusWiZaRd: http://www.transgaming.org
[02:04] <shadox_> mwe, i wanted, but no one in this box was able to tell me how te replace a backup file when x server crashes :s so i had to reconfige
[02:05] <mwe> ORiON2012: ironic because it's text based?
[02:05] <ORiON2012> mwe: yup
[02:05] <harobed> hi, someone can help me about microphonesound record issue ?
[02:05] <mwe> shadox_: Too bad I wasn't around. it's not that hard
[02:05] <harobed> alsamixer is very well configurate but I can't record any sound with arecord
[02:06] <nubbe> what is the command to launch/open  a drawer from the panel?
[02:06] <shadox_> mwe, can you tell me how to replace a backup when my x server crashes again?
[02:06] <mwe> ORiON2012: well I use it in KDE as well though :|
[02:06] <ORiON2012> harobed: in alsamixer did you turn up the volume and select a capture source?
[02:06] <mwe> shadox_: if you can get in here and do exactly what I tell you to do. I take you mean restore a backup file though?
[02:07] <Paradosso> ORiON2012, totem can't handle divx
[02:07] <Paradosso> I resolved with mplayer -vo x11
[02:07] <harobed> ORiON2012, yes, it's done
[02:07] <Paradosso> many thanks anyway ORiON2012
[02:07] <crimsun> harobed: cat /proc/asound/cards
[02:07] <shadox_> mwe, yes i did take a backup file
[02:07] <harobed> 0 [I82801DBICH4   ] : ICH4 - Intel 82801DB-ICH4
[02:07] <harobed>                      Intel 82801DB-ICH4 with ALC202 at 0xf0080400, irq 1
[02:08] <crimsun> harobed: ``amixer'' output --> pastebin
[02:08] <harobed> I'm on acer travelmate 292LMi laptop
[02:08] <CactusWiZaRd> i'm trying to download Counter-Strike 1.6, but i dunno any proper program for using it
[02:08] <shadox_> mwe, but i don't know how to tell x-server (on crash) to read the backup in stead of the changed file
[02:08] <harobed> j/pastebin
[02:08] <Psi-Jack> Konversation does lack a couple good things though. It appears to have no scripting capability to customize it or make it more powerful. And it doesn't have a channel list window for listing/sorting channels.
[02:08] <mwe> shadox_: just restore it instead
[02:09] <harobed> crimsun, where is pastebin ?
[02:09] <mwe> shadox_: cp it back over the borked one
[02:09] <ORiON2012> harobed: are you specifying the correct device to arecord?
[02:09] <crimsun> !pastebin
[02:09] <ubotu> pastebin is probably a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[02:09] <shadox_> mwe, how, that's the question, can i tell me the command?
[02:09] <mwe> shadox_: sure
[02:09] <mwe> shadox_: cd /etc/X11/
[02:09] <ORiON2012> CactusWiZaRd: steam works with wine, at least it did last month, they change it quite often...
[02:10] <mwe> shadox_: then ls xorg.* to see the names
[02:10] <shadox_> mwe uhu
[02:10] <heku> What means "The autio device is busy,Is another applicathion usingit?" when I try to play avi using totem
[02:10] <mwe> shadox_: ?
[02:10] <Psi-Jack> Oh wait. Konversation does have a channel list thing. It just doesn't open when /list is used. That's annoying. :)
[02:10] <ORiON2012> Psi-Jack: Window-> Channel List
[02:10] <mwe> shadox_: then sudo cp <name_of_backup_file> xorg.conf
[02:10] <ORiON2012> Psi-Jack: nm
[02:11] <Psi-Jack> ORiON2012: Yeah. /JUST/ found it myself. :)
[02:11] <shadox_> mwe, aha, that is what i wanted to know :D
[02:12] <harobed> ORiON2012, I do  arecord -t wav foobar.wav
[02:12] <harobed> !pastebin
[02:12] <ubotu> methinks 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.ubuntu-nl.org
[02:12] <harobed> crimsun, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7144
[02:12] <crimsun> harobed: sec, I'm busy
[02:12] <harobed> crimsun, ok :)
[02:12] <C-O-L-T> how to mount floppy drive?
[02:12] <mwe> shadox_: if the backup file has a really long name you can type some of the name then press TAB and it will complete the name
[02:13] <ORiON2012> harobed: your capture is set to 0
[02:13] <shadox_> mwe, ok, i thank you very much for helping me, now i need to reboot to see, if the x server is ok by now
[02:13] <harobed> ORiON2012, I've this in amixer :   Front Left: Playback 31 [100%]  [on]  Capture [on] 
[02:13] <harobed>   Front Right: Playback 31 [100%]  [on]  Capture [on] 
[02:14] <aidehua> I just checked again, and the partitioning phase of the installer is failing towards the end, after it has done "detecting filesystems".  Odd.
[02:14] <harobed> ORiON2012, isn't set to 0, it's on 100%
[02:14] <ORiON2012> harobed: just curious, what does "arecord -l" tell you?
[02:14] <ORiON2012> harobed: make sure you pick arecord -D [the correct source] 
[02:15] <shadox_> brb (hope so :D)
[02:15] <harobed> ORiON2012, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7145
[02:15] <nbound> is it better to use the ubuntu wine package... or the one from winehq
[02:16] <ORiON2012> harobed: in alsamixer, press tab to go to your capture settings, your playback settings are all the way up but capture appears to not be
[02:16] <nubbe> what is the command to launch/open  a drawer from the panel?
[02:17] <harobed> ORiON2012, ok, I didn't know <tab> key in alsamixer
[02:17] <zugzwang> is ubuntu the best distribution?
[02:17] <harobed> ORiON2012, and what is the good arecord parameter ? arecord -t wav foobar.wav
[02:17] <Psi-Jack> zugzwang: That's a matter of YOUR own opinion.
[02:17] <ORiON2012> harobed: tab cycles between playback->capture->all
[02:17] <harobed> zugzwang, :)
[02:18] <Sh4d0x> shadox reporting in
[02:18] <zugzwang> i can not find ubuntu's isos
[02:19] <Sh4d0x> mwe, it worked only "problem" is that it now takes a bit longer to load my dekstop (10-15sec)
[02:19] <crimsun> harobed: 'Capture' is muted. You need to unmute it.
[02:19] <harobed> ORiON2012, I do : arecord -t wav foobar.wav; aplay foobar.wav and I hear nothing
[02:19] <ORiON2012> harobed: depends, you have two mics, so you may have to specify one or the other using the -D aprameter
[02:19] <ORiON2012> parameter*
[02:19] <nbound> what gui interface should i use with wine?
[02:20] <Psi-Jack> There's gui interfaces for wine now?
[02:20] <mwe> Sh4d0x: what's that?
[02:20] <apa> UBUNTU IS HOMO
[02:20] <nbound> well setup suites
[02:20] <apa> UBUNTU IS HOMO
[02:20] <Psi-Jack> apa: Then go away.
[02:20] <apa> UBUNTU IS HOMOUBUNTU IS HOMO
[02:20] <HappyFool> nbound: tried wineconfig ? (i think that's the name)
[02:20] <zugzwang> what's homo?
[02:20] <nbound> HappyFool, not there
[02:20] <mwe> Sh4d0x: now xorg.conf?
[02:20] <zugzwang> homosexual
[02:21] <kemik> didnt see that coming
[02:21] <nbound> HappyFool, theres winesetuptk, winetools, and xwine
[02:21] <kemik> O_o
[02:21] <nbound> i think winetools is the one most ppl get
[02:21] <irma> hey all
[02:21] <zugzwang> hey guys
[02:21] <HappyFool> could have sworn I ran wineconfig. I've erased wine since, sorry
[02:21] <Sh4d0x> mwe, yup it uses xorg.conf (the correct one)when booting, but when i enter my account it takes a few seconds longer to load my desktop themes etc
[02:21] <nbound> thats ok
[02:21] <zugzwang> where can i get a list for good irc servers
[02:22] <fdr> hello... I need to quickly enable the sharing of my usb modem over a LAN... is there a package that automatically sets the NAT rules? (something to easily complement dnsmasq...) Thank you!
[02:22] <mwe> Sh4d0x: ok
[02:22] <nerochiaro> anyone knows how can setup the timeout for NTP synchronization during boot ? if my network is down it several minutes before giving up
[02:22] <irma> does linux have ant spy whare?
[02:22] <mwe> zugzwang: apt-cache search ircd
[02:23] <Psi-Jack> irma: Spyware, and generally no.
[02:23] <HappyFool> fdr: i think firestarter might (though i'm not sure)
[02:23] <Sh4d0x> mwe, but i got the feeling the reconfige created some more files whitin the X11 folder which are used when booting, could that be possible?
[02:23] <ORiON2012> harobed: try this, on the Capture settings screen. highlight the "Capture" device and press space
[02:23] <zugzwang> mwe: i'm in windows
[02:23] <irma> is ther aproblem with linux having spy whare?
[02:23] <crimsun> nerochiaro: fixed in Dapper, it's done after the devices are brought up
[02:23] <mwe> Sh4d0x: no X files are used when booting. only when gdm starts
[02:23] <Psi-Jack> irma: Yeah. Nobody makes spyware for Linux.
[02:23] <fdr> HappyFool, thanks -- I as well seem to remember that firestarter might, but isn't it a bit of an overshoot?
[02:24] <nerochiaro> crimsun: good to know. any way to hack it into breezy, too ?
[02:24] <crimsun> nerochiaro: for now you can just disable it and run it manually after you've brought up the interface(s)
[02:24] <mwe> Sh4d0x: and it should touch anything other than xorg.conf
[02:24] <irma> but its makeble?
[02:24] <ORiON2012> harobed: so you'll have both capture and mic as capture sources
[02:24] <Psi-Jack> irma: Where are you going with this?
[02:24] <HappyFool> fdr: well, it seemed quick and easy to use
[02:24] <Sh4d0x> mwe, ok thnx, then i can try a bit further on my tv out
[02:25] <nerochiaro> crimsun: not really optimal, but ok. thanks
[02:25] <irma> it whas a question if i need to install anty spy whare proglam (u shoot if u have winx)
[02:25] <Psi-Jack> Anyone know a good alarm clock program for Linux? Something that can play a list of files or a playlist or something, to wake me up? :)
[02:25] <lsuactiafner> anyone know of a channel for clustering i386 platform linux boxes?
[02:25] <mwe> Sh4d0x: again back it up before messign with it
[02:25] <lsuactiafner> like openmosix but in active development and releases?
[02:25] <Psi-Jack> irma: There is no anti-spyware program for linux, because linux has no spyware to account for it.
[02:26] <redguy> lsuactiafner: #openmosix ?
[02:26] <Psi-Jack> irma: Just like Linux has no viruses.
[02:26] <irma> i also have a problem.. i cant watch dvd's but i have a dvd player on my pc...
[02:26] <faiper> how to upgrad thunderbird to 1.5 ?
[02:26] <fdr> HappyFool, thx I'll give it a look
[02:26] <lsuactiafner> redguy : yeh used to run openmosix but so far no releases for the 2.6.x kernels
[02:26] <lsuactiafner> and my hardware needs 2.6.x
[02:26] <irma> and i installed okle
[02:27] <Psi-Jack> irma: You using Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[02:27] <irma> Ubuntu yes:)
[02:27] <Sh4d0x> mwe, uhu i have taken a backup from the original file, atm i have only add twinview at the xorg.conf and that works fine, but i want to use my desktop when playing a movie on tv, that's what need to be changed, i also wrote your backup way down in case xserver should crash again :)
[02:27] <irma> using it now:)
[02:27] <ORiON2012> irma: libdvdcss2 is your friend
[02:27] <lsuactiafner> want to cluster amd64 3200+ and p166 and p3 1G celeron
[02:27] <irma> hehe yeah?
[02:27] <Psi-Jack> irma: VLC is a very good multimedia player.
[02:27] <irma> ok is it standard pakage?
[02:28] <Psi-Jack> irma: That, and mplayer and xine are good too.
[02:28] <Psi-Jack> irma: No
[02:28] <redguy> lsuactiafner: don't know anything else... sorry. I'm sure uncle google knows :-) or maybe people on #debian or #gentoo? these are pretty crowded channels
[02:28] <Psi-Jack> irma: You will find all of those programs available in Ubuntu's multiverse repositories.
[02:28] <faiper> how to upgrad thunderbird to 1.5 ?
[02:28] <ORiON2012> irma: no, try marillat
[02:28] <lsuactiafner> clustering used to be easy+fun but now they dont release with kernels anymore
[02:29] <irma> ok Libdvdcss2 do i neet to go somwhare todownload it?
[02:29] <lsuactiafner> Psi-Jack : but the ubuntu mplayer package is 9month old and it sucks

[02:29] <irma> ok
[02:29] <ORiON2012> irma: http://debian.video.free.fr/
[02:29] <Psi-Jack> lsuactiafner: Yeah, well, he's a newbie. :p
[02:29] <lsuactiafner> :)

[02:30] <inkysplat> irma: http://robotgeek.org/blog/easybreezy/ <-- i think that can get all the DVD stuff working no problem
[02:30] <nnonix_> When restoring from hibernate my mouse is dead. Any way to wake that thing back up?
[02:30] <ORiON2012> irma: then sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2
[02:31] <irma> cool but i'm not to familiair with that..
[02:32] <ORiON2012> ubotu: tell irma about repositories
[02:33] <nubbe> what is the command to launch/open  a drawer from the panel?
[02:33] <ORiON2012> nubbe: click your mouse
[02:34] <irma> ok my pc says libdvd is old
[02:34] <nubbe> ORiON2012, yes , but what is the console command
[02:34] <irma> it cant find it becouse it misses some pakages
[02:35] <ORiON2012> nubbe: I know of know executable to open it, probably some bonobo component... ?
[02:36] <nubbe> ORiON2012, I want to map it to a short-cut...
[02:36] <ORiON2012> know of know, lol
[02:36] <Psi-Jack> Grrr..
[02:36] <ORiON2012> nubbe: no idea, sorry
[02:36] <thefamousnomo> hello people
[02:36] <Psi-Jack> I really need to figure out how to kill KDE's autorun things.
[02:36] <inkysplat> irma: have you read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats#head-cd84b8e23927ccdb4bb55ffd3074687abec0cf3b
[02:36] <nubbe> ORiON2012, :(
[02:36] <thefamousnomo> having some trouble setting up a dial-up modem!
[02:36] <irma> i'm going to look thx unk
[02:37] <thefamousnomo> following the wiki, scanModem tells me that i have an SIS ac modem controller
[02:37] <lsuactiafner> thefamousnomo : wvdial-config and wvdial and /etc/wvdial.conf is your friend
[02:38] <ORiON2012> Psi-Jack: you can get rid of the media automounter in kcontrol under KDE Services
[02:38] <lsuactiafner> wvdialconf
[02:38] <lsuactiafner> anyone found that sony dvds are a bitch?
[02:38] <thefamousnomo> lsuactiafner: so i dont have to go through all this wiki stuff?
[02:38] <ORiON2012> lsuactiafner: especially in mplayer
[02:38] <Psi-Jack> ORiON2012: The part I really want to stop, mostly, is the fact it keeps opening a Konquerer to a CD/DVD I put in, and if it's a DVD movie, it'll auto-play it in Kaffeine. I like the popup window that asks me what to do, but when all 3 happen at the same time, it's annoying.
[02:39] <lsuactiafner> thefamousnomo : wiki stuff are helpful sometimes, sometimes its bleh
[02:39] <lsuactiafner> thefamousnomo : libdvdread with a gentoo patch helped
[02:39] <CanYouHelpMePlz> i was wondering, if anyone could help me use the new gtkpod from cvs?
[02:39] <lsuactiafner> thefamousnomo : can dump the mpeg2 file, but forwarding gives me 'cant forard to block bleh'
[02:40] <thefamousnomo> my next point was that its info kinda conflicts in the wiki...
[02:40] <thefamousnomo> * confused *
[02:40] <Psi-Jack> ORiON2012: Any idea how to fix that part of things in KDE? :)
[02:41] <manas> I installed ubuntu with LVM enabled. Now I no longer want it. Any way to convert LVM to normal partitions ? Lossless ?
[02:41] <lsuactiafner> well anyone know of a program that sony dvds dont screw over so i can screw sony dvds and rip them err backup them hmmm bleh?
[02:41] <ORiON2012> Psi-Jack: nope
[02:41] <thefamousnomo> lsuactiafner: where to start if info bleh???
[02:42] <linux_galore> lsuactiafner: just dont buy them thats what I do
[02:42] <lsuactiafner> thefamousnomo : no idea, ive never used a gui for a pppd
[02:42] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: iPod video?
[02:42] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: nano
[02:42] <lsuactiafner> linux_galore : i can still rip em but need to dump to mpeg2 first and i dont like that
[02:42] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: I'll give it a whirl...
[02:42] <lsuactiafner> linux_galore : but have decided to distribute every sony dvd i find just to help their company out

[02:47] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: whats the default folder cvs saves files?
[02:47] <_jason> kcantin, have you been informed of the dangers of doing that and ubuntu's sudo approach?
[02:47] <ORiON2012> whatever folder you checked it into, there is no default
[02:48] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: ok ill search.
[02:48] <inkysplat> lsuactiafner: for creating a video clip, Kino springs to mind, or Audacity for a sound clip
[02:48] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: ok i have the folder, what do i do now?
[02:49] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: ./configure
[02:49] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: in the cvs folder?

[02:51] <CactusWiZaRd> how can i use .rar and .zip files in Ubuntu?
[02:51] <ORiON2012> CactusWiZaRd: unrar and unzip
[02:51] <crimsun> CactusWiZaRd: you can open zip files already. To open rar files, you need to install unrar-nonfree from multiverse
[02:51] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: ok, i opened a dialogue and pasted it.
[02:52] <Stormx2> CanYouHelpMePlz: Are you sure gtkpod isn't in the repos?
[02:52] <CanYouHelpMePlz> Stormx2: it is, but i need the new ver.
[02:52] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: ./autogen.sh
[02:52] <Stormx2> CanYouHelpMePlz: Ah.
[02:52] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: oh brother, you need libgpod
[02:53] <kcantin> I have an hpdeskjet 960c parrelled to my windows 2000 box now but, I'd rather have it installed on my ubuntu machine and then use it as a print server
[02:53] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: if you don't have a recent checkout of libgpod you'll just have to wait for CVS to come back up
[02:53] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: i need No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
[02:53] <CanYouHelpMePlz>  also
[02:53] <crimsun> CanYouHelpMePlz: libgtk2.0-dev
[02:53] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: gtk+-2.0-dev, or something like that
[02:53] <crimsun> CanYouHelpMePlz: what are you trying to do?
[02:53] <CanYouHelpMePlz> crimsun: thanks
[02:53] <linux_galore> I just type ipod:/   and Im in
[02:53] <CanYouHelpMePlz> crimsun: get the new gtkpod so i can copy photo's to my ipod nano
[02:54] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: everything it "complains" about not having, just apt-cache search for, then install any -dev packages you need
[02:54] <crimsun> CanYouHelpMePlz: apt-get build-dep gtkpod
[02:54] <CanYouHelpMePlz> crimsun: ok
[02:54] <irma> it works:)
[02:54] <ORiON2012> crimsun: lol,much easier
[02:54] <kcantin> Basically, I am stuck on setting up a print server and getting the palm OS to work.
[02:55] <CanYouHelpMePlz> crimsun: what does that do?
[02:55] <irma> thx all bye
[02:55] <CanYouHelpMePlz> crimsun: ok, i did it.
[02:55] <kcantin> Can anyone send chat request and help me quickly set this stuff up?
[02:55] <Malachi> How do you rename multiple extensions?
[02:56] <Malachi> I have a bunch of files that need to be renamed to .mp3.
[02:56] <crimsun> CanYouHelpMePlz: it installs all the build dependencies for the package you're attempting to compile

[02:56] <Malachi> _jason: OOOOOkay.
[02:56] <Storkme> how come when i'm in my full screen game i can't use any gnome shortcuts?
[02:56] <_jason> Malachi, do you know how to use regular expressions?
[02:56] <mwe> Malachi: what's the extension by now?
[02:56] <kcantin> OriON2012: Can I DCC you?
[02:56] <Malachi> mwe: rbs
[02:57] <ORiON2012> kcantin: no
[02:57] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: ok, i did what crimsun said, what do i do now?
[02:57] <Storkme> how come when i'm in my full screen game i can't use any gnome shortcuts?
[02:57] <kcantin> OriON2012: Can you help me out?
[02:57] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: you'll need that checkout of a recent libgpod
[02:57] <Seveas> Storkme, because the game overrides them
[02:57] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: ok.
[02:57] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: that's one of the dependencies for gtkpod
[02:58] <Storkme> Seveas, anything i can do about that?
[02:58] <Malachi> _jason: Still not getting it...
[02:58] <Seveas> Stork, no
[02:58] <kcantin> OriON2012: All I really need is help getting the print server setup and the palm OS....that's it
[02:58] <Stork> Seveas, damn it!
[02:58] <linux_galore> Malachi: always ttry name .*  .mp3
[02:58] <Malachi> Bah, never mind. I have to fix my wireless....I'll get back on in about twenty minutes...
[02:58] <linux_galore> Malachi: always try rename .*  .mp3
[02:58] <Stork> Seveas, how about for kde?
[02:59] <ORiON2012> kcantin: there's a whole channel at your disposal, you don't need to DCC anyone, just ask away and someone will help
[02:59] <kcantin> OriON2012: Ok, thanks :)
[02:59] <robzon> hey
[02:59] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: i think cvs is up, what do i do to get libgtkpod ?
[02:59] <kcantin> #1 Can I get help setting up my print server Please???
[03:00] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: no, libgpod I believe
[03:00] <robzon> is there an easy-to-use app that lets you create a DVD Video disc from an .avi file?
[03:00] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: ok, what do i do to get it?
[03:00] <_jason> Malachi, I think: rename 's/\.(ext1|ext2|ext3)/\.mp3/' *, in the directory with the files.  Not sure if you need to escape that second . or if other stuff needs to be escaped
[03:00] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: ok i got it.
[03:01] <CanYouHelpMePlz> cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gtkpod co -P libgpod
[03:01] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: do i run autogen.sh now?
[03:01] <ben_> hi there..greetings from germany
[03:01] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: cd into the dir, ./autogen.sh, then make, then sudo make install
[03:02] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: it still says No package 'libgpod-1.0' found
[03:02] <mwe> Malachi: find -type f -name "*.rbs"| while read f; do mv $f $(echo $f|sed -e 's/\.rbs/\.mp3/'); done
[03:02] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: are you in the libgpod directory?
[03:02] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: no.
[03:03] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: that's the problem then
[03:03] <EloraKun> crimsun: I'm writting the wiki to install Audigy SE card you solved some hours ago, and have one question. In case alsa-source is downloaded from Ubuntu repositories instead of Debian's, should module-assistant be run anyway?
[03:03] <crimsun> be aware that if you use " for find you probably want to use " for sed -e, too
[03:03] <kcantin> Okeedokeeesmokkeee, looks like no one knows how to setup a print server.  I've been trying to do it myself but, I keep coming up short
[03:03] <linux_galore> mwe lol the hard way   rename .abc  .mp3 *  is easier
[03:03] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: ./autogen.sh, make, sudo make install in libgpod
[03:03] <_jason> mwe, heh he left
[03:03] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: ***Error***: some autoconf macros required to build libgpod
[03:03] <CanYouHelpMePlz>   were not found in your aclocal path, or some forbidden
[03:03] <CanYouHelpMePlz>   macros were found.  Perhaps you need to adjust your
[03:03] <CanYouHelpMePlz>   ACLOCAL_FLAGS?
[03:03] <mwe> linux_galore: I guess so :)
[03:04] <kcantin> Guess I go back to WInBlOwZ!!!
[03:04] <crimsun> EloraKun: yes. I've already pushed the patch into our kernel: http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/bcollins/ubuntu-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0066257ff77354040953fa47a17e8d5ff8bc221b
[03:04] <linux_galore> mwe: works too just tested it to make sure my brain cells havent gone rusty
[03:04] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: sudo apt-get install build-essential ....?
[03:04] <EloraKun> crimsun: Okiz
[03:04] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: already installed
[03:04] <mwe> linux_galore: long time linux users like to do relatively simple things in a complicated way :)
[03:04] <eNetic> is it safe to use the apt-get install command yet?
[03:05] <gnomefreak> eNetic, why wouldnt it be safe?
[03:05] <linux_galore> mwe: yeah there is also mmv  or multiple move
[03:05] <_jason> eNetic, what do you mean 'yet'?
[03:05] <linux_galore> command
[03:05] <nubbe> what is the command to launch/open  a drawer from the panel?
[03:05] <kcantin> Ok, Ok, that's not an option...windowz blows!  I'll give someone a cookie if they can assist me
[03:06] <mwe> linux_galore: all these modern programs :)
[03:06] <eNetic> gnomefreak, i just read that it would damage your system because of some failture
[03:06] <crimsun> a cookie? I don't want your Web browsers' cookies.
[03:06] <linux_galore> mwe rename has been around for ages since the 1970's  mmv is from the 80's
[03:06] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: erm, is autoconf installed...?
[03:06] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: yes
[03:06] <kcantin> crimsun: But I'm to poor for anything else. lol
[03:06] <_jason> gnomefreak, where did you read that?
[03:06] <_jason> oops, I mean eNetic ^
[03:07] <gnomefreak> eNetic, apt-get works in ubuntu just fine as far as i know it did thismorning for me atleast
[03:07] <gnomefreak> lol
[03:07] <mwe> linux_galore: actually I did know rename. never used mmv though
[03:07] <eNetic> on a ubuntu info site, i just got to know that it was fixed months ago
[03:07] <gnomefreak> eNetic, are you not confuing apt-get with root?
[03:07] <eNetic> sorry to bother.
[03:07] <linux_galore> mwe rename doesnt work on directories so mmv popped up
[03:08] <eNetic> i use sudo apt-get
[03:08] <EloraKun> crimsun: It's done. If you want to check for any bradbarity I probably have commited, here is the link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToSetupSoundBlasterAudigyInBreezy
[03:08] <bsn_ua> anybody have a program named AUDIOWRAPPER?
[03:08] <crimsun> EloraKun: please rename that link to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToSetupSoundBlasterAudigySEinBreezy
[03:08] <gnomefreak> eNetic, than you should be safe on ubuntu
[03:08] <kcantin> Seriously though, I could use some help setting up my print server.
[03:08] <mwe> linux_galore: find and mv subscripts have always worked great for me
[03:08] <crimsun> EloraKun: yours is a very specific Audigy SE model; not all Audigys are affected
[03:08] <kcantin> I've tried and gotten close but, no luck
[03:08] <CanYouHelpMePlz> !printers
[03:08] <ubotu> from memory, printers is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters or http://www.linuxprinting.org
[03:08] <EloraKun> crimsun: Ok
[03:09] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: what macro was it checking for before it died?
[03:09] <EloraKun> crimsun: AudigySE?
[03:09] <eNetic> i just got to know: <ezo> ubuntu got kernel panic a few months back in time and was fixed a couple of months later.
[03:09] <sorush20> is there a surface scan test I can do on a floppy disk?
[03:09] <bsn_ua> please!! HELP ME!!
[03:09] <eNetic> days i mean
[03:09] <Ophiocus> !wine
[03:09] <crimsun> EloraKun: yes, HowToSetupSoundBlasterAudigySEinBreezy
[03:09] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: m4 macro's
[03:09] <soundray> Can I use Ubuntu to sabotage an annoying neighbor's stereo system?
[03:09] <gnomefreak> bsn_ua, what is the issue?
[03:09] <crimsun> soundray: of course. You can also go to jail.
[03:09] <eNetic> so dont laugh at me
[03:09] <CanYouHelpMePlz> soundray: i don't think so
[03:10] <bsn_ua> anybody have a program named AUDIOWRAPPER?
[03:10] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: do you have libtool installed?
[03:10] <gnomefreak> soundray, baseball bats are better and easier
[03:10] <soundray> crimsun, I'm almost at the point where I would take that risk.
[03:10] <crimsun> soundray: it'd be more polite to ask them to be more considerate
[03:10] <CanYouHelpMePlz> i do now
[03:10] <mwe> linux_galore: it seems mmv is not installed by default. I don't seem to have it
[03:10] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: same error
[03:10] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: try intltool as well
[03:11] <soundray> crimsun, what if they open the door for you stoned, spliff in hand, and threaten to attack you?
[03:11] <linux_galore> mwe: I know I usually isntall allot of old Unix stuff on top of the base stuff
[03:11] <crimsun> mwe: 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com dapper/universe Packages
[03:11] <crimsun> !info mmv
[03:11] <ubotu> mmv: (Move/Copy/Append/Link multiple files), section universe/utils, is optional. Version: 1.01b-12.2 (breezy), Packaged size: 24 kB, Installed size: 92 kB
[03:11] <soundray> crimsun, oh, and of course, turn the volume up rather than down...
[03:11] <kcantin> thanks
[03:12] <mwe> crimsun: I know I can install it.
[03:12] <crimsun> soundray: there's always management and/or the cops
[03:12] <CanYouHelpMePlz> soundray: pass that spliff boy.
[03:12] <crimsun> if that fails, take a vacation
[03:12] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: same error
[03:12] <soundray> So, you don't think this is an Ubuntu support issue... Okay, I kind of agree. But it was nice to tell someone at least, so thank you.
[03:13] <crimsun> soundray: better directed to #ubuntu-offtopic next time
[03:13] <mwe> linux_galore: so it seems like mmv basically does the same as rename but works on dirs too.
[03:13] <linux_galore> mwe yes
[03:14] <linux_galore> mwe also can do weird forking too if you want
[03:14] <sorush20> is there a way I can surface scan a floppy disk for errors?
[03:14] <EloraKun> How come I can't choose the rename or delete options in the ubuntu wiki for a page I have just created?
[03:14] <mwe> linux_galore: ok
[03:14] <ardchoille> !ssh
[03:14] <linux_galore> EloraKun: because its locked
[03:14] <ubotu> ssh is, like, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SSHHowto
[03:15] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: this is ridiculous, I dunno what .m4 its looking for so I have no idea what to suggest to install
[03:15] <soundray> ORiON2012, it's some kind of text preprocessor.
[03:15] <Exxcaliber> hey guys, i have got this strange problem.. whenever i use my Synaptics touchpad while using my cdrom drive
[03:15] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: ok, forget about it
[03:15] <ORiON2012> soundray: I know
[03:15] <gnomefreak> CanYouHelpMePlz, what are you trying to build and what error?
[03:16] <EloraKun> linux_galore: It's locked by myself... Ok. I'll propose it for deletion later.
[03:16] <CanYouHelpMePlz> gnomefreak: trying to build gtkpod, yes i know it's in the repo's and i get an m4 error.
[03:16] <ORiON2012> gnomefreak: libgpod
[03:16] <ORiON2012> gnomefreak: from CVS
[03:16] <EloraKun> crimsun: Here is the new link, anyway: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToSetupSoundBlasterAudigySEInBreezy
[03:16] <soundray> ORiON2012, sorry, misread your question.
[03:16] <gnomefreak> and you getting depends errors by chance?
[03:16] <ORiON2012> gnomefreak: he doesn't have some basic macros....
[03:17] <gnomefreak> did you try sudo apt-get build-dep gtkpod?
[03:17] <CanYouHelpMePlz> gnomefreak: yes
[03:17] <gnomefreak> CanYouHelpMePlz, what version of ubuntu?
[03:17] <CanYouHelpMePlz> gnomefreak: breezy
[03:18] <soundray> Exxcaliber, what problem is that?
[03:18] <gnomefreak> ok CanYouHelpMePlz hold on 1 sec let me load the page for it
[03:18] <CanYouHelpMePlz> gnomefreak: ORiON2012: http://pastebin.com/505319
[03:19] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: what version of automake is installed?
[03:19] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: how do i find out
[03:19] <ORiON2012> CanYouHelpMePlz: automake --version
[03:19] <linux_galore> gnomefreak: heh heh just open konqueror in kde type ipod:/   now isnt that easier
[03:19] <CanYouHelpMePlz> ORiON2012: 1.7 1.8 and 1.9
[03:20] <annebolica> Hi, all!
[03:20] <Exxcaliber> soundray, A strange one :)
[03:20] <gnomefreak> lol
[03:20] <Exxcaliber> hey guys, i have got this strange problem.. whenever i use my Synaptics touchpad while using my cdrom drive, my mouse pointer jumpsaround on the screen, and randomly opens variouse programs.
[03:20] <aidehua> So, I ran the installer with a higher debug verbosity, and I see this in syslog: http://www.tropic.org.uk/~edward/installer-failure
[03:20] <linux_galore> gnomefreak: suprised they didnt add that little beauty to nautilus
[03:21] <Exxcaliber> soundray, ^
[03:21] <gnomefreak> CanYouHelpMePlz, did you try sudo apt-get build-dep libgpod  (just going on your error)
[03:21] <CanYouHelpMePlz> gnomefreak: yes
[03:21] <ORiON2012> gnomefreak: libgpod is brand spankin' new
[03:21] <soundray> Exxcaliber, you have a device conflict. You may have to play with interrupt settings in the BIOS setup.
[03:22] <ORiON2012> gnomefreak: don't think its in breezy..
[03:22] <_jason> ubotu, tell aidehua about md5
[03:22] <gnomefreak> CanYouHelpMePlz, why didnt you get it from repos
[03:22] <Exxcaliber> Well.. my bios is kinda simple, and won't let me remap my IRQ ports..
[03:22] <CanYouHelpMePlz> gnomefreak: ?
[03:22] <Exxcaliber> can linux do it? soundray
[03:22] <gnomefreak> ORiON2012, could be he would neeed backport enabled bbut im checking on this
[03:22] <linux_galore> life is so easy with kde and the ipod -> http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=11962
[03:22] <ORiON2012> gnomefreak: only in dapper
[03:23] <gnomefreak> CanYouHelpMePlz, are you trying to get it from repos?
[03:23] <soundray> Exxcaliber, is it a laptop?
[03:23] <aidehua> _jason: Can I test the integrity of a burned CD?
[03:23] <CanYouHelpMePlz> gnomefreak: i'm trying to build it from cvs
[03:23] <_jason> aidehua, yes, ubotu has sent you a link
[03:23] <Aless> hello
[03:23] <Aless> have someone problem with the repo?
[03:23] <aidehua> _jason: pants -- didn't read the bottom bit.   Thanks :)
[03:24] <korptix> hi how do i recover a password ?
[03:24] <HappyFool> Aless: seems to be working OK here
[03:24] <Exxcaliber> soundray, yep :)
[03:24] <Aless> i've the following problem
[03:24] <HappyFool> korptix: you mean your user login password?
[03:24] <EloraKun> Is there any global configuration application in Ubuntu, similar to Mandriva's drakconf?
[03:24] <HappyFool> Aless: please don't paste here
[03:25] <soundray> korptix, do you *have* to recover it, or would resetting be enough?
[03:25] <Aless> i've just re-installed ubuntu using the repositories
[03:25] <gnomefreak> gtkpod-aac is avalible in multiverse thats all it should need im not sure why you are building it from cvs
[03:25] <linux_galore> EloraKun: not really other than gnome-control-center and the system menu
[03:25] <korptix> yes both will be fine
[03:25] <Aless> now i'm under gnome but i can't download packeges because the repo doesn't work
[03:25] <korptix> ?
[03:25] <Psi-Jack> korptix: In that case, no, you can not. Password encryption used to encrypt the passwords, is not reversable.
[03:26] <Aless> gnomefreak....Hello
[03:26] <Psi-Jack> korptix: You can, however, reset the password, if you have root access to do so.
[03:26] <gnomefreak> hi
[03:26] <HappyFool> korptix: i'd just reboot in recovery mode and use 'passwd' to reset your user's password
[03:26] <Aless> i can surf on internet
[03:26] <_jason> Aless, what do you mean by 'doesn't work'?  Do you get an error of some kind?
[03:26] <Aless> i can surf on internet
[03:26] <korptix> umm is there a command line where i can find it out ?
[03:26] <Aless> apt-get update runs
[03:26] <gnomefreak> Aless, good but what is the issue?
[03:27] <Aless> issue?
[03:27] <Psi-Jack> korptix: Find what out?
[03:27] <Aless> what do you mean?
[03:27] <gnomefreak> Aless, you came in and said you have a problem
[03:27] <HappyFool> korptix: find what out? your password? No. as Psi-Jack said, the password is not stored as plain text
[03:27] <soundray> Exxcaliber, what's the device name of your CD?
[03:28] <Aless> ok...i explain it....
[03:28] <korptix> so can i reset it by command line ?
[03:28] <HappyFool> yeah, using the 'passwd' command. something like 'passwd korptix' (in recovery mode)
[03:28] <korptix> but cant i do it now ?
[03:29] <linux_galore> korptix: your going to have to boot up on the cd and change the password in admin mode
[03:29] <HappyFool> not without your password, no ;)
[03:29] <linux_galore> recovery mode sorry
[03:30] <korptix> ok
[03:30] <Aless> I installed 30 minutes ago Ubuntu Breezy using the repositories. Now I'm on. I can surf, but i've a problem using apt. i can run apt-get update, but if i try to run apt-get install package i received the following error: Connection Failed
[03:30] <Exxcaliber> soundray, /dev/hdb
[03:30] <HappyFool> Aless: perhaps the repository mirror you're using is down
[03:30] <Aless> ok...it's possible
[03:30] <linux_galore> cant you just edit the /etc/passwd file and remove the * and there is no password till you reset it
[03:31] <Aless> what can i do?
[03:31] <ORiON2012> Aless: is it a non-standard repo?
[03:31] <MrRio> hey
[03:31] <Aless> no
[03:31] <ORiON2012> Aless: or a ubuntu official mirror?
[03:31] <korptix> and also how can i use a command via one line
[03:31] <_jason> Aless, try using archive instead of us.archive or whatever mirror you use
[03:31] <ORiON2012> Aless: try a different ubuntu mirror
[03:31] <Aless> it's the repo that you find on the cd
[03:31] <ORiON2012> Aless: comment it out
[03:31] <_jason> Aless, can you pastebin what your /etc/apt/sources.list looks like
[03:31] <MrRio> I'm curious about how I can obtain 'Ubuntu Certified Professional' status
[03:31] <korptix> like "wget.link.com/blah.rar.mv:blah.rar;./ blah
[03:32] <Aless> can i paste in this room?
[03:32] <korptix> you know what i mean?
[03:32] <ORiON2012> no
[03:32] <korptix> ..
[03:32] <_jason> ubotu, tell Aless about pastebin
[03:33] <Aless> i try to pastebin
[03:33] <soundray> Exxcaliber, unfortunately, your options are very limited in a laptop where hd and cd are on the same IDE channel.
[03:33] <HappyFool> korptix: separate commands with a semi-colon; wget http://www.google.com/index.html; mv index.html foo.html
[03:33] <crimsun> EloraKun: done. Final version at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToConfigureSoundBlasterAudigySEinBreezy
[03:33] <soundray> Exxcaliber, are you sure your BIOS won't let you change anything?
[03:33] <aidehua> Hmmm.  My 5.10 install CD gives the correct md5sum.
[03:33] <Aless> done
[03:34] <Aless> my name is alessandro
[03:34] <_jason> Aless, we need a url
[03:34] <Aless> ok
[03:34] <aidehua> Maybe this old laptop doesn't read it correctly.  I wonder if I can md5sum the installer CD while it is being used to run an install?
[03:34] <soundray> Exxcaliber, maybe you can turn some unneeded device off (serial? infrared? sound?) -- that might fix it.
[03:34] <Aless> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7146
[03:35] <korptix> umm
[03:35] <korptix> how do i make a user?
[03:35] <gnomefreak> Aless, comment out line 004
[03:35] <HappyFool> there's a menu entry for it, i think (Users and Groups, under Settings -> Admin)
[03:35] <ORiON2012> Aless: cdrom repo is sueless
[03:35] <gnomefreak> Aless, just add a # to the beginning of line 004
[03:36] <mwe> Aless: I'd try a different mirror. sudo sed -i 's/it\.//g' /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:36] <ORiON2012> useless*
[03:36] <Aless> do you mean the line deb-src....
[03:36] <gnomefreak> line 004 deb cdrom
[03:36] <ORiON2012> Aless: deb:cdrom
[03:36] <Aless> done
[03:36] <ORiON2012> then apt-get update and try again
[03:36] <mwe> Aless: now try sudo apt-get update
[03:36] <gnomefreak> save than sudo apt-get uodate
[03:37] <HappyFool> ORiON2012: why remove the CD repo?
[03:37] <korptix> how do i make a user?
[03:37] <gnomefreak> let us know of errors please
[03:37] <HappyFool> korptix: there's a menu entry for it, i think (Users and Groups, under Settings -> Admin)
[03:37] <gnomefreak> korpios, system>admin>users and groups
[03:37] <annebolica> korptix: u could the 'adduser'-command in the console, or use the Menu-Entry in the System-Menu (ever took a look in there?)
[03:38] <HappyFool> ah, system, sorry
[03:38] <EloraKun> crimsun: Ok. Thanks for your help again.
[03:38] <korptix> ty
[03:38] <Aless> it doesn't work
[03:38] <gnomefreak> Aless, what is the output?
[03:38] <ORiON2012> Aless: it.archive.ubuntu.com is down
[03:38] <Aless> waiting for headers
[03:39] <Aless> really?
[03:39] <mwe> Aless: sudo sed -i 's/it\.//g' /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:39] <Aless> what does this command make?
[03:39] <ORiON2012> removes it.
[03:39] <gnomefreak> takes it out of your repos
[03:39] <gnomefreak> IT*
[03:39] <mwe> Aless: get rid of the 'it.' part
[03:39] <sorush20> is there a way I can surface scan a floppy disk for errors?
[03:40] <ORiON2012> Aless: for a mirror closer to home, look here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[03:40] <HappyFool> sorush20: maybe 'badblocks' is what you want
[03:40] <Aless> i works
[03:40] <Aless> but yesterday i used the it mirror
[03:41] <ORiON2012> Aless: it'll be up again shortly most likely
[03:41] <Aless> ok thanks
[03:41] <gnomefreak> Aless, they take it down sometimes to work on it
[03:41] <Aless> thank you very much guys

[03:44] <huhn_2punkt0> Hi there. I'm running the server version of ubuntu (gonna install the xubuntu gui) but in order to upgrade to xubuntu i need to setup my inet. so right now I got ndiswrapper + drivers on a cd. how do I copy them into the right directions?
[03:44] <huhn_2punkt0> whats the console command for copy
[03:44] <huhn_2punkt0> and whats the dir for cdrom?
[03:44] <Psi-Jack> cp
[03:44] <Psi-Jack> huhn_2punkt0: /media/cdrom
[03:44] <fdr> HappyFool, thx again for your help, but I found an easier way to share the internet connection
[03:44] <fdr> HappyFool, dnsmasq and ipmasq simply do the job
[03:45] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: cp and some variety of /dev/cdroms/cdrom*
[03:45] <Ophiocus> how can i install rpm packages in ubuntu?
[03:45] <HappyFool> i don't think CD-ROMs are automounted in the server version (i may be wrong)
[03:45] <huhn_2punkt0> ohh great another problem :D
[03:45] <HappyFool> fdr: cool
[03:46] <mwe> Ophiocus: you can't. you'll have to convert it using alien. use with care though. installing random debs can potentially hose the system
[03:46] <huhn_2punkt0> the command to display the directorys content is dir I assume?
[03:46] <Psi-Jack> huhn_2punkt0: ls
[03:46] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: no, dir is dos, try ls
[03:46] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: :P
[03:46] <_jason> ubotu, tell huhn_2punkt0 about cli
[03:46] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: just 'mount /media/cdrom' or 'mount /dev/cdrom' should mount the cd if needed. 'dir' works, but 'ls' is more standard ;)
[03:46] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: just messin' with ya
[03:47] <huhn_2punkt0> ok thanks
[03:47] <huhn_2punkt0> k that worked so far
[03:48] <ORiON2012> HappyFool: which /media/cdrom or /dev/cdrom?
[03:48] <huhn_2punkt0> media cdrom worked
[03:48] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: just cd /media/cdrom
[03:48] <huhn_2punkt0> it worked :)
[03:49] <HappyFool> /media/cdrom is the mount point; /dev/cdrom is the device (or a link to the device)
[03:49] <HappyFool>  /media/cdrom is the mount point; /dev/cdrom is the device (or a link to the device)
[03:49] <mwe> dir from coreutils works fine here. it even has a man page
[03:49] <mwe> though I always use ls
[03:49] <huhn_2punkt0> ok I got the folder in my cd called "lnx". I need to transfer its content to $home/windows_drivers
[03:49] <huhn_2punkt0> cp /media/cdrom/lnx* $home/windows_drivers ?
[03:49] <ORiON2012> mwe: same program I though...
[03:49] <huhn_2punkt0> what would be the correct command
[03:49] <HappyFool> does lnx have subdirectories ?
[03:50] <huhn_2punkt0> no
[03:50] <ORiON2012> mwe: though they were just aliased
[03:50] <ORiON2012> thought*
[03:50] <HappyFool> then 'cp /media/cdrom/lnx/* $HOME/windows_drivers'
[03:50] <mwe> ORiON2012: it probably is. just a different name
[03:50] <HappyFool> you can use ~ instead of $HOME -- and linux is case-sensitive
[03:50] <huhn_2punkt0> ok thanks :)
[03:51] <huhn_2punkt0> I guess you all think "why does this fool fool around with the server version when he doesn't now shit what hes doing" the answer is simple: the pc is too slow for gnome and kde, thus I need to install the xubuntu gui on the server version
[03:52] <Hoxzer> I'm having wierd sound propblem I can only play sounds with on program at the time ;/
[03:52] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: XFCE is quite nice
[03:52] <huhn_2punkt0> is that the proper name for the xubuntu thing?
[03:52] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: XFCE4 is the desktop environment, instead of gnome or kde
[03:53] <huhn_2punkt0> yeah that's what i meant
[03:53] <ompaul> huhn_2punkt0, well first I was not thinking about that, second if you have a specific question feel free to ask it:: >> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop<< is the command
[03:53] <huhn_2punkt0> I know. but first I need an inet connection set up on that pc which is what I'm doing right now
[03:53] <afief> Can i download packages from a repository and save them on a cd(for a friend who doesn't have internet)
[03:53] <ompaul> huhn_2punkt0, there was a day when I did not know anything about computers, and as time goes by I feel I know less :-)
[03:54] <ompaul> huhn_2punkt0, is it a desktop?
[03:54] <zhipeng_> hello,everybody
[03:54] <ORiON2012> hello zhipeng_
[03:54] <huhn_2punkt0> laptop
[03:54] <zhipeng_> nice to see you guys all
[03:54] <zhipeng_> thanks orion
[03:54] <ORiON2012> laptop as a server, awesome, and I mean that
[03:54] <ORiON2012> not being sarcastic
[03:55] <ompaul> huhn_2punkt0, okay to make life easy for all concerned any chance you can use "wire" and make a physical connection to the outside world from that box
[03:55] <afief> Is there a way to download Packages from the repository and save them???
[03:55] <HappyFool> afief: yip. use packages.ubuntu.com
[03:55] <ORiON2012> afief: all packages downloaded by apt are kept in /var/cache/apt/archive
[03:55] <HappyFool> afief: or you can try something called apt-zip (never used it myself)
[03:55] <huhn_2punkt0> no. it won't recognize the ethernet card. so I'll have to make a direct start at the wlan stuff
[03:56] <mwe> or apt-get -d
[03:56] <huhn_2punkt0> installing ndiswrapper now
[03:57] <jean> #ubuntu.fr
[03:57] <prxq> Hi, what is the equivalent in ubuntu of modprobe.conf?
[03:57] <mwe> prxq: /etc/modprobe.d/ I guess
[03:58] <huhn_2punkt0> shiiit
[03:59] <huhn_2punkt0> 3. Now before we attempt to build the source, let's make sure we have the required tools to make it work. The following command should get us everything we need.
[03:59] <huhn_2punkt0> apt-get install debhelper build-essential fakeroot linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[03:59] <huhn_2punkt0> great.
[03:59] <huhn_2punkt0> Another step requiring internet
[03:59] <prxq> mwe: thanks. Will evil things happen if I add my own alias to the aliases list?
[03:59] <ORiON2012> which eth card do you have?
[03:59] <huhn_2punkt0> me?
[03:59] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: build-essential is on the cd. *BUT* you need gcc-3.4 for kernel modules
[03:59] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: yea, sorry
[04:00] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: try 'lspci'
[04:00] <huhn_2punkt0> "corega FEther II PCC-TXD"
[04:00] <mwe> prxq: I don't see how that would hurt if it doesn't clash with something. back up anything you change though
[04:00] <huhn_2punkt0> looks pretty noname to me
[04:00] <morpheus> any1 tried upgrading kernel b4?
[04:01] <mwe> morpheus: yes
[04:01] <prxq> mwe: i see. thanks
[04:01] <morpheus> but can u create initrd.img?
[04:02] <morpheus> mwe:can u create initrd.img anyway?
[04:02] <huhn_2punkt0> hm
[04:02] <ompaul> huhn_2punkt0, >> grep eth0 /etc/network/interfaces << does that give a reply?
[04:03] <huhn_2punkt0> no
[04:03] <pinger> HI all. I have just installed Ubuntu for the first time. I am quite pleased with the result but I have two small issues: 1) I cannot start any of the System > Administration utilities as a normal user (I think sudo does not work) and 2) I am stuck in en_US keyboard no matter what I try in GNOME and in xorg.conf
[04:03] <ompaul> huhn_2punkt0, what kind of a laptop brand and model number is that?
[04:03] <huhn_2punkt0> sony vaio pcg f707
[04:03] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: should be supposrted by the pcmcia-cs kernel module
[04:03] <HappyFool> i remember having big hassles with mkinitramfs (or a command with a similar name). I had to do some horrible hack to get it to work
[04:03] <huhn_2punkt0> but that ethernet card is plugionable
[04:03] <huhn_2punkt0> doubt it was shipped with the laptop
[04:04] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: sudo modprobe pcmcia-cs
[04:04] <morpheus> how u did it?
[04:04] <HappyFool> pinger: can you start a terminal (under Utilities -> Terminal)
[04:04] <huhn_2punkt0> fatal: module pcmcia_cs not found
[04:04] <morpheus> i'm stucked when loading after a kernel upgrade, it says modprobe:can't fine /lib/modules/2.6.15
[04:05] <morpheus> any cure?
[04:05] <HappyFool> pinger: and then run 'sudo ls /' -- enter you user password when prompted. Does that give an error message?
[04:05] <Exxcaliber> I can't seem to burn iso files.. Have any one else had this problem?
[04:05] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: dash, not underscore
[04:05] <huhn_2punkt0> i did dash
[04:05] <pinger> HappyFool, I have started a terminal and tried sudo. I get no error message, but ls outputs nothing.
[04:05] <erUSUL> morpheus, have you run make modules_install?
[04:05] <huhn_2punkt0> still it replied with underscore
[04:05] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: oh :(
[04:05] <huhn_2punkt0> was the first thing I checked too :D
[04:06] <huhn_2punkt0> so I guess I'll have to manually do this" apt-get install debhelper build-essential fakeroot linux-headers-$(uname -r)"  stuff
[04:06] <ORiON2012> well, that's what you need for ethernet, pcmcia-cs
[04:06] <HappyFool> pinger: hmm. did you do a normal or expert install? and is this standard ubuntu 5.10 (not kubuntu or something else)
[04:06] <huhn_2punkt0> how do i do it?
[04:06] <morpheus> yup
[04:06] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: build-essential and linux-headers should be on the cd
[04:06] <pinger> HappyFool, I did expert install, and this is normal ubuntu.
[04:06] <pinger> 5.10
[04:06] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: try the ethernet first, transfer the packages, should only be 2-3
[04:07] <arlequin0> can anybody help me? I've a problem with login to webmin ...
[04:07] <HappyFool> pinger: doesn't expert install prompt you for a root password ?
[04:07] <morpheus> it's initrd problem
[04:07] <morpheus> it tend to find the file from initrd image
[04:07] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: sudo apt-get -sV install pcmcia-cs
[04:07] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: that'll tell you what you need
[04:07] <pinger> HappyFool, yes, and the root password is set. In fact I can su root just fine. But sudo does nothing for me, strangely enough.
[04:07] <HappyFool> pinger: perhaps your user is not in the admin group
[04:07] <HappyFool> pinger: what does 'groups' output?
[04:08] <huhn_2punkt0> I can't aptget without an internet connection...
[04:08] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: -sV is "pretend" it won't actually do it
[04:08] <pinger> HappyFool, groups tells me pinger adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner
[04:08] <huhn_2punkt0> still it says cant access [url] 
[04:08] <HappyFool> pinger: ah. but no 'admin' group
[04:08] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: it'll just describe the packages you need which you can download else where
[04:09] <huhn_2punkt0> ahhhh
[04:09] <huhn_2punkt0> ok
[04:09] <huhn_2punkt0> I got the purpose
[04:09] <HappyFool> pinger: i'd use 'su' and 'addgroup' to add your user to the admin group
[04:09] <HappyFool> pinger: i'm assuming /etc/sudoers is setup the same in expert as in standard install
[04:09] <pinger> HappyFool, indeed. I am used to Gentoo, so the group nomenclature under Ubuntu is a bit new to me ;o)
[04:09] <huhn_2punkt0> but I dont need the ethernet. what I want to do is the wlan
[04:10] <huhn_2punkt0> (16:07:25) <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: build-essential and linux-headers should be on the cd| in the wiki it says I should dl them
[04:10] <arlequin0> hello people^^ ... can anybody help me? I've a problem with login to webmin ...
[04:10] <morpheus> anyway to extract initrd image file?
[04:10] <pinger> HappyFool, I get: adduser: The group `admin' does not exist.
[04:11] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: ah, ok, thought you were just trying to get the thing online, ndiswrapper is a bit tricky
[04:11] <huhn_2punkt0> well I need to get it online to proceed with the xfce install
[04:11] <ompaul> huhn_2punkt0, if something is not on the Cd burn it to another CD and put that in the box
[04:11] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: i had success with downloading only gcc-3.4, gcc-3.4-base and cpp-3.4 debs to get my modem working; everything else i needed was on the cd
[04:11] <HappyFool> pinger: hmm
[04:12] <HappyFool> pinger: i'm not familiar with expert mode install; evidently it's a bit different from standard
[04:12] <huhn_2punkt0> yeah but where to get that stuff
[04:12] <s_spiff> sorry
[04:12] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: packages.ubuntu.com  -- you will need some means of transferring files (CD/floppy/usb stick)
[04:12] <s_spiff>  got disc...
[04:12] <pinger> HappyFool, wouldn-t that role be fulfilled by the adm group?
[04:12] <ompaul> huhn_2punkt0, well the windows packages for it - google the other stuff as HappyFool said
[04:12] <pinger> I'm in that one
[04:12] <kemik> what's 'expert mode install' ? server install ?
[04:13] <huhn_2punkt0> yeah I got transfering means
[04:13] <HappyFool> pinger: no, adm is people allowed to view some log files
[04:13] <HappyFool> pinger: at least, as i understand it
[04:13] <gnomefreak> kemik, i think its different but never done it myself
[04:13] <morpheus> any help on extracting initrd image files?
[04:13] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: sudo dpkg -i some_package.deb    to install the individual packages
[04:13] <kemik> gnomefreak:  different from server ?
[04:13] <huhn_2punkt0> ok
[04:13] <gnomefreak> kemik, yes i think so
[04:13] <huhn_2punkt0> hoary is the newest ubuntu, right?
[04:13] <HappyFool> pinger: check out /etc/sudoers -- i have a line like this:    %admin  ALL=(ALL) ALL
[04:13] <pinger> HappyFool, is it normal that I not a member of sudo?
[04:13] <Remmy> Hi all, been having troubles with my kubuntu, as it fails to boot due to an initramfs issue... I have described it on http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=116128 but didn't get any response yet. Does anyone now?
[04:13] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: no
[04:13] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: Breezy is, 5.10
[04:13] <HiTiT> hello
[04:13] <huhn_2punkt0> k
[04:13] <HappyFool> pinger: for expert mode, it probably is
[04:14] <s_spiff> why do i get disconnected?
[04:14] <ompaul> kemik, two different things, the server is a much reduced packages set, no gui, the expert install can be is choosing lots of options or choosing defaults and just some options or of course all defaults :-)
[04:14] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: oh, for hoary, you don't need to download anything
[04:14] <s_spiff>  the lag suddenly increases like crap..and i get disc!
[04:14] <gnomefreak> kemik, something about expert runs off you repos or something like that
[04:14] <pinger> HappyFool, in my sudoers I have: root    ALL=(ALL) ALL
[04:14] <huhn_2punkt0> no I got 5.10
[04:14] <Shouryuu> Hi, I;m having problems installing Ubuntu. When I boot from my CD, the Ubuntu instaler screen appears, I press enter, and see the following message "Unzipping linux... Ok, booting the kernel". Then, nothing happens... I've waited for over 20 minutes but nothing happens. I've burned the CD witha X4 speed on different CDs and always get the same problem... Any suggestions?
[04:14] <huhn_2punkt0> just didn't know what its name was
[04:14] <ORiON2012> huhn_2punkt0: ndiswrapper isn't in horay repos
[04:14] <s_spiff> ! wallpapers
[04:14] <ubotu> s_spiff: Do they come in packets of five?
[04:14] <HiTiT> Ive installed fonts and i dun see them in Open office what should i do?
[04:15] <morpheus> Shouryuu using live CD?
[04:15] <s_spiff> some one know any good links for wallpapers?
[04:15] <_jason> ubotu, tell pinger about expert
[04:15] <HappyFool> pinger: well, I guess a solution is to create the admin group, add the %admin line to /etc/sudoers and add your user to the admin group
[04:15] <ORiON2012> HiTiT: try sudo fc-cache -f
[04:15] <kemik> ompaul:  yeah just googled it :) ty
[04:15] <HiTiT> ORiON2012: 10x 1 sec
[04:15] <HappyFool> ah. ubotu knew all along!
[04:15] <gnomefreak> s_spiff did you try art.gnome.org or gnome-look.org or kde-look.org or xfce-look.org
[04:15] <Shouryuu> morpheus - Live cd? Well I downloaded the ISO from ubuntu.com and copied it (propely) to a normal CD-R
[04:16] <_jason> HappyFool, seveas taught him yesterday :)
[04:16] <ompaul> kemik, hey I know something google knows
[04:16] <kemik> ;)
[04:16] <pinger> _jason, thanks for the tip. admin group does not exist tho... let me try to create it
[04:16] <ompaul> s_spiff, gnomelook
[04:16] <s_spiff> yeah..apart from those..
[04:16] <s_spiff>  i have to try xfce..
[04:16] <gnomefreak> rebooting brb
[04:17] <ORiON2012> s_spiff: deviantart isn't bad
[04:17] <ompaul> s_spiff, xfce-look.org  la la la
[04:17] <pinger> HappyFool, sudo is working now
[04:17] <s_spiff> ompaul, xfce is again same as gnome-loor
[04:17] <s_spiff> will check that out
[04:17] <HiTiT> ORiON2012: nope
[04:17] <Shouryuu> anyone know where my problem might be coming from?
[04:17] <HiTiT> Ive installed fonts and i dun see them in Open office what should i do?
[04:17] <pinger> HappyFool, _jason thanks for your help guys
[04:17] <ORiON2012> HiTiT: TTF fonts?
[04:17] <HappyFool> pinger: cool
[04:18] <HiTiT> package calls culmus
[04:18] <pinger> Now, about this keyboard <grin> I am stuck in en_US but I have a fr_CH keyboard and it-s driving me nuts...
[04:18] <HiTiT> ORiON2012: how can i check it?
[04:19] <ORiON2012> HiTiT: they're type1 fonts
[04:19] <HiTiT> ORiON2012: if i do' locate' on then itll help?
[04:19] <HappyFool> pinger: you're running gnome? look under System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (i *think* -- something like that)
[04:20] <Shouryuu> does my HDD be cleaned of all data before installing data? Why do I get stuk on a "Booting kernel" screen while trying to install Ubuntu?
[04:20] <Shouryuu> *installing ubuntu, not data
[04:20] <pinger> HappyFool, yes I-m running GNOME and I have set the apropriate layout in the keyboard preferences but it does nothing even after restarting GNOME
[04:21] <HappyFool> pinger: hmm, in that case i don't know, sorry
[04:21] <pinger> HappyFool, that-s ok, thanks anyway
[04:21] <abejoklisss> hello
[04:21] <HiTiT> hello
[04:22] <abejoklisss> can u help me to install programs on ubuntu?
[04:22] <HiTiT> 
[04:22] <HiTiT> yes*
[04:22] <_jason> abejoklisss, which programs?
[04:22] <abejoklisss> i have downloaded mozilla thunderbird
[04:22] <HiTiT> listen
[04:22] <HiTiT> u have gnome right?
[04:22] <Trent> How can I change the: localhost.localdomain on phpsysinfo?
[04:22] <abejoklisss> i have gnome
[04:22] <Exxcaliber> abejoklisss, how did u download thoose files?
[04:22] <abejoklisss> from mozilla
[04:23] <HiTiT> Alt+f2 -> synaptic
[04:23] <Exxcaliber> okay..
[04:23] <abejoklisss> i have tar file
[04:23] <Exxcaliber> well use synaptic instead
[04:23] <_jason> ubotu, tell abejoklisss about synaptic
[04:23] <huhn_2punkt0> how do I unmount a drive so it ejects the cd
[04:23] <_jason> abejoklisss, read the link ubotu sent you.  In general you install from one of ubuntu's repositories.  It is easier and won't break your system
[04:23] <hilde> I need to set ubuntu in azerty and not qwerty. somehow this does not work by doing it via the system
[04:23] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: try 'umount /media/cdrom0'
[04:24] <Shouryuu> Is there a way to check if my machine is Linux compatible? I doubt it isn't but that's the only thing that could be causing my problem...
[04:24] <ORiON2012> Trent: sudo nano /etc/hosts
[04:24] <hilde> where can I find the setting to put it in azerty
[04:24] <huhn_2punkt0> device still in use
[04:24] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: cd out of the /media/cdrom directory
[04:24] <huhn_2punkt0> i did
[04:24] <HappyFool> hmm
[04:25] <huhn_2punkt0> "crash it" ?
[04:25] <huhn_2punkt0> :D
[04:25] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: you did a server install, right?
[04:25] <huhn_2punkt0> yea
[04:25] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: shouldn't be any funny stuff running then.
[04:26] <Shouryuu> Would anyone know why, when trying to installing Ubuntu, my instalation gets stuck on a "ok, booting kernel" screen?
[04:26] <huhn_2punkt0> i.e. ?
[04:26] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: gam_serve is an occasional cd-hogger
[04:26] <huhn_2punkt0> so what should I do?
[04:26] <huhn_2punkt0> crash it and reboot?
[04:26] <prxq> Shouryuu: bad cd?
[04:26] <Dr_Acemaster> do I need special decoder to play wav files? I can't get any to play
[04:27] <Shouryuu> I've ripped it about 4 times, on 4 different cds, with 2 different downloads...
[04:27] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: try 'sudo lsof /media/cdrom' -- get output ?
[04:27] <ompaul> Shouryuu, well the first thing to do is look at the supported list of hardware, even if this is omits your hardware it may work for you,  to do this run this in your irc client to have the bot tell you about supported hardware >>/msg ubotu tell me about hardware<<
[04:27] <huhn_2punkt0> yeah i get
[04:27] <huhn_2punkt0> should I copy it to here?
[04:27] <Shouryuu> ompaul will do thanks paul
[04:28] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: well, just the first line
[04:28] <TorbX> *automatix
[04:28] <ompaul> Shouryuu, do >>md5sum foo.iso<<  from a distro
[04:28] <ompaul> !automatix
[04:28] <ubotu> from memory, automatix is messy, breaks all sorts of security guidelines, and is not open to improvement. In short: DO NOT USE IT!
[04:28] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: generally pasting is frowned upon
[04:28] <TorbX> !automatix
[04:28] <huhn_2punkt0> I cant paste
[04:28] <ompaul> try easyubuntu
[04:28] <ompaul> !easyubuntu
[04:28] <ubotu> from memory, easyubuntu is a script to install several popular things. It is by nature not 100% safe but better than its alternatives. More info in #easyubuntu, or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EasyUbuntu
[04:28] <huhn_2punkt0> I'm on a different machine here
[04:28] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: oh, right. well, what's the first line anyway?
[04:28] <huhn_2punkt0> I just mean should I copy the info as it might be relevant
[04:28] <abejoklisss> i have a problem with synaptic
[04:28] <huhn_2punkt0> command pid user fd type device etc
[04:28] <TorbX> !automatix
[04:28] <ubotu> from memory, automatix is messy, breaks all sorts of security guidelines, and is not open to improvement. In short: DO NOT USE IT!
[04:28] <abejoklisss> it doesnt start
[04:29] <TorbX> I've allready used automatix. Am I doomed?
[04:29] <abejoklisss> should i reinstall my ubuntu?
[04:29] <alex_> hey
[04:29] <alex_> have a question
[04:29] <ompaul> huhn_2punkt0, put as much info as possible in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org then tell us the url and someone may have useful info for you
[04:29] <alex_> has anyone used edubuntu
[04:29] <_jason> abejoklisss, hopefully not, does it propmt you for a password?
[04:29] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: ok, first entry under COMMAND ?
[04:29] <morpheus> anyone got any idea to extract initrd image file?
[04:29] <abejoklisss> yes
[04:29] <abejoklisss> when i type it
[04:29] <abejoklisss> nothing happend
[04:29] <huhn_2punkt0> 2nd line: bash 6460 adrian cwd dir 22,0 2048 8252864 /media/cdrom0
[04:30] <ompaul> alex_, yes I have, I have installed it in a school and it is just a super set of ubuntu
[04:30] <_jason> abejoklisss, you are using your user password?
[04:30] <huhn_2punkt0> there is no third line
[04:30] <abejoklisss> yes
[04:30] <alex_> ompaul, how easy was it
[04:30] <abejoklisss> my root passwors
[04:30] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: hmm. do you have another console open? (Alt-F1, Alt-F2 etc)
[04:30] <_jason> abejoklisss, use your user password
[04:30] <abejoklisss> yes
[04:30] <huhn_2punkt0> no.
[04:30] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: what does 'pwd' output?
[04:30] <alex_> ompaul can i have one on one with you?
[04:30] <huhn_2punkt0> I'm running the server thing so how should I run another console
[04:30] <alex_> want to do edubuntu install for school next weekend
[04:31] <alex_> need some tips
[04:31] <huhn_2punkt0> /home/adrian
[04:31] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: you can type 'Alt-F2' to get to the second console
[04:31] <_jason> abejoklisss, did you do an expert install?  how do you have a root password?
[04:31] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: well, there's a shell running, sitting in that directory
[04:31] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: can you logout, login and try the lsof command again?
[04:31] <irma> hee peeps i'm back
[04:31] <abejoklisss> im not expert
[04:31] <huhn_2punkt0> how?
[04:32] <alex_> ompaul
[04:32] <alex_> I am new to irc
[04:32] <irma> i want to use gnome radio but it cant find /dev/radio what can i do?
[04:32] <alex_> how do you and I just chat?
[04:32] <_jason> abejoklisss, okay, is it still not working when you tried it again with your user password?
[04:32] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: 'exit' should log you out
[04:32] <aidehua> Should Ubuntu ISOs always be an integer multiple of 512bytes in size?
[04:32] <ompaul> alex_, well for me very easy and for a teacher who had never installed an o/s it was also easy, and I am not into one on ones as it stops me from answering other questions here I would say d/load it and go for it come here if you have any issues - if you want to provide some "filtering" then install dansguardian and squid but come back with the box and enjoy it
[04:33] <huhn_2punkt0> i did
[04:33] <huhn_2punkt0> still cant unmount
[04:33] <HappyFool> hmm
[04:33] <ORiON2012> alex_: use /msg NickName   you message.....
[04:33] <ORiON2012> your*
[04:33] <ompaul> ORiON2012, u beat me to it .... :-P
[04:33] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: well, you can just kill the shell. not ideal, but it should work
[04:33] <huhn_2punkt0> it worked
[04:33] <Shouryuu> If my hardware isn't on the list of compatible hardware, does it mean that it's not compatible and I'm doomed?
[04:33] <irma> does someone hase gnome radio?
[04:34] <alex_> just tried
[04:34] <ompaul> Shouryuu, no, it means it is not known
[04:34] <alex_> did you get it ompaul
[04:34] <alex_> ?
[04:34] <aleja> hi
[04:34] <yvaleri> hello
[04:34] <irma> hi aleja
[04:34] <ompaul> alex_, A) I said no to doing that B) please put all your stuff on one line it is bad practice to use enter as a punctuation
[04:35] <ompaul> alex_, :-)
[04:35] <ORiON2012> alex_: little tip, you can type the beginning few letters of someones nick, then press tab, should complete it for you.  this works in most modern clients
[04:35] <Shouryuu> Ok thanks. But still, how do I solve my instalation problem?
[04:35] <Celin> Hi yoli!
[04:35] <_jason> how can i invlaidate my timestamp to gksudo?
[04:35] <yoli> hola celine
[04:35] <yvaleri> hola
[04:35] <usuario4> Hola Usuario5
[04:35] <ramvi> Heya! Just installed ubuntu. I need help getting my wifi connection working. I'm in system > administration > networking, and the wifi is active (ath0 is active). I'm not on the www though. Think it's got something to do with the WPA password on the access point. How do I connect / see if I'm connected?
[04:35] <alex_> thx
[04:35] <alex_> you guys are great!
[04:35] <Celin> How are you?
[04:35] <yoli> hablame en espaol amiga
[04:35] <ompaul> Shouryuu, can u md5sum your iso to prove that it works?
[04:36] <yoli> : (
[04:36] <HappyFool> !es
[04:36] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[04:36] <Shouryuu> md5sum? I;m running windows btw
[04:36] <ORiON2012> alex_: it's good ettiquette to prefix your message with the nick of the person you're talking to, helps to limit confusion
[04:36] <ramvi> The properties asks for WEP key. don't ubuntu support wpa?
[04:36] <owner> you should know the wep key
[04:37] <owner> if its your network
[04:37] <Stormx2> I'm having trouble with the current apache2 package. Anyone else had any problem with it?
[04:37] <ramvi> I know the password for my access point. It's wpa encrypted though. is it supported? I don't manage to get on the web... :/
[04:37] <huhn_2punkt0> oh yeah.
[04:37] <ompaul> Shouryuu, I think there are binaries for it,  to check the integrity of your installation media, one way is to visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VerifyIsoHowto can you write down what is on the screen in paste.ubuntu-nl.org and give us the URL maybe there is an error message that makes sense to someone here
[04:37] <ORiON2012> ramvi: yes it is
[04:38] <owner> you should disable wep first
[04:38] <huhn_2punkt0> now I downloaded that debhelper  buildessential packages
[04:38] <owner> and then after it connects enable it
[04:38] <huhn_2punkt0> when I want to install it I get ANOTHER error
[04:38] <ompaul> Stormx2, any more detail than that?
[04:38] <huhn_2punkt0> because some packages are not installed
[04:38] <Stormx2> ompaul: When it tries to start, I get a seg fault
[04:38] <Shouryuu> ompaul - Ok I'll try that, thanks a lot.
[04:38] <huhn_2punkt0> I'm going crazy
[04:38] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: do you have the server install cd ?
[04:38] <ompaul> huhn_2punkt0, have you gotten your wifi to work?
[04:39] <Stormx2>  * Starting web server (Apache2)... /usr/sbin/apache2ctl: line 78: 12559 Segmentation fault      $HTTPD -k start -DSSL [fail]  invoke-rc.d: initscript apache2, action "start" failed.
[04:39] <huhn_2punkt0> no
[04:39] <ompaul> aidehua, it is a wiki
[04:39] <huhn_2punkt0> I havnt.
[04:39] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: ah
[04:39] <huhn_2punkt0> yes I got the ubuntu cde
[04:39] <huhn_2punkt0> cd
[04:39] <huhn_2punkt0> dvd
[04:39] <huhn_2punkt0> whatever
[04:39] <aidehua> BusyBox's head doesn't have the "-c" command.  I'm going to add about how to use dd options instead.
[04:39] <ramvi> I don't fully understand. I've never got wifi working in linux. First time I've got the drivers. Thanks ubuntu :) I connect though system > administration > networking?
[04:39] <ORiON2012> Stormx2: yipes
[04:39] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: put that in, and run 'apt-get install build-essential' and 'apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)'
[04:39] <Stormx2> ORiON2012: Im gonna logout and login again
[04:40] <aidehua> dd if=/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 count=(iso size / 512) | md5sum  #...should work
[04:40] <huhn_2punkt0> i'll try
[04:40] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: you will still need to download the gcc-3.4, gcc-3.4-base and cpp-3.4 packages
[04:40] <ORiON2012> Stormx2: cat /var/log/daemon.log | grep apache
[04:40] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: if it really is a DVD, you might not need to download anything
[04:41] <huhn_2punkt0> ok
[04:42] <Stormx2> Back.
[04:42] <huhn_2punkt0> somehow wont work either
[04:42] <ORiON2012> Stormx2: /var/log/apache2/error.log   not daemon.log
[04:42] <_jason> what is a 'system group' as opposed to a 'user group'?  (in the context of 'man addgroup')
[04:42] <Stormx2> ORiON2012: Hmm?
[04:42] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: what error do you get?
[04:42] <ORiON2012> Stormx2: does the log have anything useful?
[04:42] <Stormx2> Ill see
[04:43] <huhn_2punkt0> couldn't open lockfile var/lib/apt/lists/lock -open (13 no permission )
[04:43] <ompaul> _jason, your username is normally the group also one line from ls -al -rw-r--r--   1 ompaul ompaul    464692 2005-11-04 10:52 UbuntuTestingReport.pdf
[04:43] <huhn_2punkt0> it might be a bit weird but I had to translate that message
[04:43] <Stormx2> ORiON2012: Nothing in it!
[04:43] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: oh, use sudo
[04:43] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: sorry. 'sudo apt-get install build-essential', e.g.
[04:44] <brasko> hi all. Trying to get freenx working. anyone connect from linux to windows?
[04:44] <brasko> I have the freenx server working. I can connect from linux, to the localhost fine, and start a gnome session.
[04:44] <huhn_2punkt0> well
[04:44] <_jason> ompaul, so a 'system group' is just that group that is the same as my name?
[04:44] <huhn_2punkt0> it still trys to get that stuff from the internet
[04:44] <brasko> However, I'd like to connect from linux->windows. Anyone done this before?
[04:44] <huhn_2punkt0> which doesn't work...
[04:44] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: sounds like you'll need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:44] <_jason> brasko, hrmm still not working huh.  What happens?
[04:44] <Shouryuu> Ok I ran my CD through md5sums, apparently everything is fine, I didn't get any error messages...
[04:45] <ompaul> _jason, no, have a look in /etc/group not real users are system groups
[04:45] <huhn_2punkt0> HappyFool how exactly
[04:45] <ORiON2012> Stormx2: this just a default apache install?
[04:45] <brasko> I finally figured out that I needed to connect throught the server (freenx) running on the linux machine
[04:45] <brasko> that got me a step further
[04:45] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: run 'sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list' to edit the file
[04:45] <huhn_2punkt0> edit it to what
[04:45] <ompaul> Shouryuu, when is it failing in the install?
[04:45] <Stormx2> ORiON2012: yes. Well, I already had apache installed, but recently there was an update, so I updated it. And it stopped working!
[04:45] <owner> the sources list generator website is great
[04:45] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: the first line should look something like this: deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)] / breezy main restricted
[04:46] <brasko> now, basically, I get "Session 'yyy' failed"
[04:46] <huhn_2punkt0> it does
[04:46] <brasko> Does ubuntu allow X connections from other computers by default?
[04:46] <crimsun> brasko: no
[04:46] <brasko> I remember having to edit something in debian to allow that.
[04:46] <owner> no brasko
[04:46] <_jason> ompaul, so 'user groups' have gid's 1000+ while 'system groups' have lower gid's.  Do they have any real difference?  or is it just more for organization?
[04:46] <owner> but if you type xhost +
[04:46] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: if you have any 'deb http' lines, they need to be commented out -- put a '#' character at the start of any lines like that
[04:46] <owner> it will
[04:46] <brasko> Yeah, I did xhost +.
[04:46] <Shouryuu> ompaul - It's not really failling, I don't get an error message. It just stays on the following message "Unziping linux... Ok booting kernel" I've waited a good 20 mins last time I tried installing it and nothing happened...
[04:46] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: e.g., # deb http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main
[04:47] <Stormx2> :( I want my apache no fair
[04:47] <brasko> In debian, you used to have to edit a file, to allow TCP connections for X display. By default, it would only allow Unix Domain Sockets. Is this the same in ubuntu?
[04:47] <huhn_2punkt0> yeah
[04:47] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: were there any uncommented deb http:// lines ?
[04:47] <huhn_2punkt0> yes
[04:47] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: ok, good
[04:47] <ORiON2012> Stormx2: if you've done nothing odd to it, I'd file a bug...
[04:47] <ompaul> _jason, kind of group 0 is like user 0 the "system administrator" or what happens when you >>sudo id<< then do id for yourself
[04:47] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: save the file when you're done, and then run 'sudo apt-get update'
[04:48] <owner> probably brasko
[04:48] <brasko> _jason: now I get 'End of session requested by remote proxy.' and then 'Shutting down the link and exiting.'
[04:48] <_jason> ompaul, ok, I'm getting it.  Thanks!
[04:48] <brasko> the thing is, I don't even know if windows XP home, has an RDP server listening.
[04:48] <brasko> to connect to in the first place.
[04:48] <huhn_2punkt0> ok i did.
[04:48] <ompaul> Shouryuu, which disk did you get and what kind of machine have you got?
[04:49] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: ok, try 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' once more
[04:49] <huhn_2punkt0> ok it says: build essential already newest version
[04:49] <HappyFool> ah-ha
[04:49] <Dr_Acemaster> wtf, I accidently played a .zip file, yes played a zip file, and now I'm getting a loud crackly noise, how do I turn it off?
[04:49] <huhn_2punkt0> hmmm
[04:49] <huhn_2punkt0> so all that packet dling was useless :D
[04:49] <owner> I have a question
[04:49] <Dr_Acemaster> why wouldn't it give an error "not valid sound file"
[04:49] <ompaul> Dr_Acemaster, what did you play it with (CTRL + C )
[04:49] <HappyFool> type 'gcc --version' -- get anything ?
[04:49] <owner> i installed the debian menu from synaptic but it doesnt show up
[04:49] <ORiON2012> Dr_Acemaster: kill the process
[04:49] <owner> even after a restart
[04:50] <Dr_Acemaster> in xchat
[04:50] <Stormx2> ORiON2012: its probably my fault though. I mean if its in the repos, it must be working on others' boxes.
[04:50] <Dr_Acemaster> assigning sounds
[04:50] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: (sorry) type 'gcc --version' -- get anything ?
[04:50] <Shouryuu> ompaul - I'm on an Aspire 5500, and I'm using a normal CD-R. I got the download from the ubuntu web site...
[04:50] <ompaul> Dr_Acemaster, because sound players pull in data and convert that into audio
[04:50] <Dr_Acemaster> ok so how do I find what process it is
[04:50] <ORiON2012> Stormx2: possibly, I doubt the ubuntu apache packages would seg fault out of the box :(
[04:50] <Dr_Acemaster> or should closing xchat stop it
[04:50] <huhn_2punkt0> gcc command not found
[04:50] <ompaul> Shouryuu, no that is not my question, what version of Ubuntu did you download ?
[04:50] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: hmm
[04:51] <ompaul> Dr_Acemaster, how did you start to play it? and what would xchat have to do with it?
[04:51] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: that's not good. if you have build-essential, you should have gcc
[04:51] <Shouryuu> ompaul - I got it from here http://www.ubuntu.com/download ... I'll feel very stupid if it isn't the right one...
[04:51] <Dr_Acemaster> ompaul: I was assigning sounds to events in xchat
[04:51] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: did you use dpkg to install the build-essential package you downloaded?
[04:51] <Dr_Acemaster> and clicked on play to preview the sound
[04:52] <ompaul> Dr_Acemaster, well press stop on the preview :)
[04:52] <Dr_Acemaster> ompaul: hehe tried that :)
[04:52] <huhn_2punkt0> i didnt built any build-essential package because it said it lacked the gcc stuff
[04:52] <Dr_Acemaster> actaully there is no stop
[04:52] <Dr_Acemaster> just play :)
[04:52] <owner> just get gcc from synaptic huhn
[04:52] <ompaul> Dr_Acemaster, it should kill off the sound the thing is I don't know what you set so you got to work on it turn your volume down and reconfigure it
[04:52] <Stormx2> maybe it got downloaded incorrectly! How could I clear the apt-cache ?
[04:52] <ompaul> Shouryuu, which one did you choose?
[04:52] <Dr_Acemaster> LMAO it just stopped on it's own
[04:52] <owner> use sudo apt-get clean
[04:52] <Stormx2> k
[04:53] <ompaul> Dr_Acemaster, it has read the full file
[04:53] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: something is odd. let's try removing and re-installing build-essential
[04:53] <huhn_2punkt0> I'm confused
[04:53] <Shouryuu> ompaul - yeah sorry forgot to specify http://mir1.ovh.net/ubuntu/releases/5.10/      I got "PC (Intel x86) install CD
[04:53] <Shouryuu>     For almost all PCs. This includes most machines with Intel/AMD/etc type processors and almost all computers that run Microsoft Windows. Choose this if you are at all unsure."
[04:53] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: 'sudo apt-get remove build-essential' -- does that work?
[04:53] <bulken> wahts the best dc++ client for linux tried dc-gui didnt like it
[04:53] <cleo> how can I permanently change the permissions for my usbscanner? sane detects it as root only
[04:53] <owner> http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[04:53] <owner> that site is great
[04:53] <_jason> brasko, can you try connecting windows -> windows to make sure it isn't a server side problem?
[04:53] <ORiON2012> bulken: theres a GTK2 client floating around
[04:54] <ompaul> Shouryuu, have you two machines?
[04:54] <Seveas> owner, thanks :)
[04:54] <bulken> ok where can i get it? :)=
[04:54] <huhn_2punkt0> it just lists me some stuff about unaccomplished dependencies
[04:54] <ORiON2012> bulken: valknut doesn't work very well either, they're really all pretty bad
[04:54] <bulken> ok to bad =/
[04:54] <owner> lol seveas
[04:54] <owner> np
[04:54] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: how about 'apt-get remove -f build-essential' ?
[04:55] <ORiON2012> bulken: http://linuxdcpp.berlios.de/
[04:55] <Stormx2> ack. It wasn't the cache's fault.
[04:55] <huhn_2punkt0> the same
[04:55] <ompaul> owner, he is a little proud of it :)
[04:55] <bulken> ok ty
[04:56] <Stormx2> ok, how do I check what processes are using the internet? theres a nice command but I forget it >_<
[04:56] <huhn_2punkt0> doesnt work, happyfool. it again returns something about unaccomplished dependencies
[04:56] <Shouryuu> ompaul - Yeah I have two machines, but I don't want to see the look on my brother's face once I told him I've installed linux on his computer...
[04:56] <Seveas> ompaul, no, I just hava a highlight on ubuntulinux.nl and ubuntu-nl :)
[04:56] <ORiON2012> Stormx2: netstat
[04:56] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: something seems to be a bit broken with your system
[04:56] <ompaul> Seveas, drink your coffee and enjoy it anyway
[04:56] <huhn_2punkt0> well I did the server install without any errors
[04:56] <huhn_2punkt0> ...
[04:57] <Seveas> ompaul, will do :)
[04:57] <huhn_2punkt0> so I'll do the install again?
[04:57] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: well, somewhere something went wrong (quite possibly post-install)
[04:57] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: that is definitely an option
[04:57] <huhn_2punkt0> ok
[04:57] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: i need some fresh air -- i'll be back in 30 minutes
[04:57] <huhn_2punkt0> ok ciao
[04:57] <huhn_2punkt0> thanks for your help so far
[04:57] <HappyFool> np
[04:57] <Stormx2> Nothing already using port 80....
[04:59] <huhn_2punkt0> fresh air... good idea
[04:59] <ompaul> Shouryuu, no for the box you are dealing with try this, as the machine boots up it will stall at a line, and it offers a server install, try that if it works afterward we will do the rest of the command lines with you to get the box working - there is btw only one or two and they are >> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop << then if the video does not work >> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg<< and then reboot drop by again :)
[04:59] <huhn_2punkt0> although it's like -10c fresh
[04:59] <huhn_2punkt0> gonna do that again
[04:59] <Shouryuu> ompaul - thanks a lot I'll try that ASAP =D
[05:00] <ORiON2012> an odd quit message
[05:00] <ompaul> Seveas, got isbn 1-59327-069-0 and 1-58450-371-8 today - gona take this stuff a lot more seriouslly and get to grips with gnubuntu some how
[05:01] <Shouryuu> Ok thanks, wish me luck =P
[05:04] <ORiON2012> lol
[05:04] <ompaul> ORiON2012, which one?
[05:04] <ORiON2012> ompaul: all of them
[05:05] <ORiON2012> Shouryuu mostly
[05:05] <ompaul> ORiON2012, the fish one is a book from Douglas Adams - and the other one is most likely a line from a song mine well its mine
[05:05] <ORiON2012> ompaul: ah, no it was the some lyric I found odd
[05:06] <ORiON2012> "So long, and thanks for all the fish" is a fitting quit message
[05:06] <ORiON2012> :)
[05:06] <Manifold> Hey. How do I figure out the USB address of my printer?
[05:06] <Seveas> Manifold, lsusb
[05:06] <ORiON2012> lsusb
[05:07] <ompaul> owo
[05:07] <ORiON2012> bah, Seveas will take em all now
[05:07] <Seveas> ORiON2012, not really, am learning for an exam :)
[05:07] <Manifold> Seveas and ORiON2012, I mean in terms of usb:// xxx /xxx
[05:07] <ORiON2012> Seveas: is Falcon rather painless to implement?
[05:07] <Seveas> Manifold, that syntax is application specific, it's no standard syntax
[05:08] <ompaul> Bus 003 Device 002: ID 03f0:1604 Hewlett-Packard XXXXXXXXXXXXxx
[05:08] <ompaul> Manifold, ^^^^^^^^^6
[05:08] <Manifold> Seveas, It's needed for foomatic-gui to add a printer apparently.
[05:08] <Seveas> ORiON2012, i've been thtough great pains implementing it, which means using it is dead-easy (simple tutorial is at the bottom of the README), but it's not really finished yet
[05:09] <Manifold> 'Cause it doesn't auto detect my USB printer so I have to manually give it in usb:// form, Seveas
[05:09] <ORiON2012> Seveas: it's just so darn sexy in the web frontend...
[05:09] <ompaul> Manifold, did you try system administration printing?
[05:09] <Seveas> Manifold, I guess usb://003/002 (bus/device) but don't hang me for it
[05:09] <Seveas> ORiON2012, hehe
[05:09] <Manifold> What's that ompaul ?
[05:09] <Manifold> I'll give it a shot, searcher`
[05:10] <Manifold> Seveas, *
[05:10] <Seveas> it'll be ready pretty soon, just have some things to fix in the rsync part
[05:10] <ompaul> Manifold, how to normally hook up a printer
[05:10] <Manifold> How do I load it in xterm?
[05:11] <ompaul> Manifold, you mean configure?
[05:11] <Manifold> Yeah, I do, ompaul
[05:12] <ompaul> Manifold, I will now insult a destruction manual if you want to work away as you are I may have an alterative in a moment or two
[05:12] <Manifold> Insult a destruction manual..
[05:12] <Manifold> ...
[05:13] <weedbuster> hallo
[05:13] <ORiON2012> "So you have a pile of .deb files and want to turn it into a repository without too much hassle. Then you picked the right tool :)", excellent.
[05:14] <Seveas> :)
[05:14] <Manifold> If anyone is willing to look at the verbose mode of foomatic-gui as to why I can't set up my printer.. http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=505440
[05:15] <Manifold> ORiON2012, what tool is that?
[05:15] <ORiON2012> Seveas's project, Falcon.
[05:16] <ORiON2012> stumbled upon it just as he walked in, I have a few fvwm packages patched for transluceny that need a home
[05:16] <Seveas> ORiON2012, come to #ubuntu-offopic :)
[05:17] <Seveas> -offtopic that is...
[05:18] <Ahtuba> Can i use tv-tuner AVer Studio 305 in Ubuntu v 5.10?
[05:18] <ompaul> Manifold, the command you wanted I think is this >>sudo dpkg-reconfigure cupsys<<
[05:19] <ORiON2012> Ahtuba: yes, its supported by v4l
[05:21] <Manifold> What's that mena tot do, ompaul ?
[05:21] <Manifold> meant*
[05:21] <ompaul> Manifold, to probe and work with your printer iirc
[05:21] <cleo> I shared my scanner in network with sane and xinetd, the saned runs as user/group saned:saned (I made user saned a member of scanner) but it does not work, there seems to be a permission error - When I change the udev rule for my scanner to mode 666 it works but thats dirty, any ideas? :)
[05:22] <Ahtuba> what is v4l?..
[05:22] <ORiON2012> Ahtuba: Video4Linux http://linuxtv.org/v4lwik
[05:22] <Ahtuba> ok, thanks...
[05:23] <igge> hello I have a yealink usb-p1k phone that I try to get to work with skype
[05:23] <Manifold> I've ran it, ompaul
[05:23] <igge> the problem is that the microphone doesn't work
[05:23] <Manifold> Do I open up foomatic-gui now?
[05:24] <igge> how can I debug this... for example to try to record some sound from /dev/dsp1
[05:24] <ompaul> Manifold, no try your printer - tell me why are you running from the command line and playing with gui config files?>
[05:25] <Manifold> Cause I am new to linux, ompaul
[05:25] <ompaul> Manifold, have you a gui available?
[05:25] <Manifold> Yes.
[05:25] <ompaul> Manifold, is it (gnome) ubuntu or (kde) kubuntu ?
[05:26] <ORiON2012> cleo: on the client machines did you list the server in /etc/sane.d/net.conf
[05:26] <Manifold> I'm using Gnome Ubuntu, but I'm using Xfce4, ompaul
[05:26] <ORiON2012> cleo: I had the exact same difficulty but can't quite remember how I solved it :(
[05:28] <ompaul> Manifold, given that you have a command line available, and you say you have gnome installed though you are running xfce let here is something to try >>gnome-cups-manager<< that tool should config your printer no problems at all
[05:28] <Manifold> The CUPs server could not be contacted, ompaul
[05:28] <Manifold> ompaul, that's what that command gave me.
[05:28] <ompaul> Manifold, actually do this >> sudo gnome-cups-manager << I forgot the sudo
[05:29] <prxq> I did not install kubuntu on my amd64 because it didn't recognize the network adapter.
[05:29] <Manifold> I get the same thing, ompaul
[05:29] <cleo> ORiON2012: yes I did
[05:29] <cleo> ORiON2012: it works perfectly when I set the permissions to 666 in the udev rules
[05:30] <Tesla> i hate GNOME! :(
[05:30] <ompaul> Manifold, what model of printer are you using
[05:31] <ORiON2012> cleo: sorry,I can't remeber to save my life
[05:31] <Tesla> can any1 help me?
[05:31] <ompaul> Tesla, that is a little rough for a piece of software
[05:31] <cleo> ORiON2012: mhh okay :/
[05:31] <igge> anyone who has any idea why my microphone isn't working?
[05:31] <oumph> Hi. Is there any default login/pass in a 5.04 Live CD? (I've just a console access, no X access)
[05:31] <cleo> ORiON2012: did you use xinetd?
[05:31] <Manifold> ompaul, it's an Epson Stylus D88, I searched on linuxprinting.org, and it has no drivers for it. The closest I've come is looking on Google, where people say that the Epson C80 driver will work with the D88 one..
[05:31] <ORiON2012> cleo: yes
[05:31] <igge> where do I start with debugging?
[05:32] <steve_> !cedega
[05:32] <ubotu> well, cedega is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Cedega and for a list of working games see http://www.transgaming.org/gamesdb or #cedega or http://www.frankscorner.org/
[05:32] <cleo> ORiON2012: and do you run saned as user/group saned:saned ?
[05:32] <Eleaf> hi
[05:32] <cleo> well, I could run it as root
[05:33] <ORiON2012> cleo: yes, I'm looking through the configs...  nothing that stands out
[05:33] <Tesla> How to install D-Link driver and create Broadband connection?
[05:33] <owner> the default brown theme gets depressing
[05:33] <owner> i changed mine to blue
[05:35] <StR> Hi all!
[05:35] <StR> If I have a file which is a list of packages, how do I install them? something like apt-get install <pkgs.lst
[05:35] <ORiON2012> cleo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7152
[05:35] <ORiON2012> cleo: that saned.conf is on the server side
[05:36] <ORiON2012> cleo: then on client side I just added the hostname of the server to net.conf
[05:37] <cleo> ORiON2012: ah okay, you run as group scanner, I will try that
[05:38] <ORiON2012>  cleo, that must be it
[05:39] <oumph> should I conclude a  5.04 live CD is unusable without X?
[05:40] <SoLiTaiRe> Hi there...
[05:40] <ORiON2012> oumph: sorry, I haven't a clue
[05:40] <Manifold> Oh yes!
[05:40] <truz24> apt-get install java-package fails...
[05:40] <katie^> bittornado-gui has no installation candidate
[05:40] <katie^> so help
[05:40] <truz24> i have all the repos turned on
[05:40] <Manifold> Or not.
[05:40] <Manifold> Argh.
[05:40] <katie^> if you do't mind
[05:41] <Manifold> My printer's spewing out blank paper.
[05:41] <SoLiTaiRe> I've been trying to get a copy ob ubuntu Dapper... I'm willing to try iit but I don't find it anywhere
[05:41] <cleo> ORiON2012: it works, but I dont know why my setup didn't work, thanks
[05:41] <truz24> when i run apt-get install java-package, the response is "couldn't find java-package"
[05:41] <truz24> I turned all the repos on
[05:41] <ORiON2012> cleo: glad you got it
[05:41] <katie^> pwease
[05:42] <ORiON2012> cleo: scanner groups get extra perms for libusb scanners
[05:42] <ORiON2012> group*
[05:42] <vouzico> hi everybody
[05:42] <ORiON2012> usb*, geez I'm tired
[05:42] <ompaul> Manifold, after a little run around the interweb I have the following suggestion for you - right click on the desktop and iirc there should be Xfce Settings manager this should allow a reasonably simple configuration of the printer thorugh the "printing system"
[05:42] <SoLiTaiRe> can anybody tell me how I can get it..? or what are the steps to download it?
[05:43] <cleo> ORiON2012: yes but I added saned user to the scanner group
[05:43] <ompaul> !tell SoLiTaiRe about dapper
[05:43] <cleo> ORiON2012: thought that would work too
[05:43] <brasko> _jason: when I go windows->windows, do I need to use the freenx server running on linux?
[05:43] <ORiON2012> cleo: hrm, that would make perfect sense ... :|
[05:44] <brasko> _jason: Have you done this before?
[05:44] <brasko> in case anyone else is interested now, I'm trying to get linux->windows using nx
[05:44] <ompaul> SoLiTaiRe, if you are still interested in dapper then we can point you to it
[05:44] <_jason> brasko, I've only connected windows -> linux like you.  But I would think windows->windows would be easier
[05:44] <vouzico> I have a question : I try to install Xubuntu on an old laptop but I don't have any network card, just a USB port. I try to install eagle usb but the gcc compiler doesen't work on the installation (configure : error : C compiler cannot create executables). Do you have any idea to solve my problem ? :)
[05:44] <katie^> any ideas? or does anyone know a nice torrent client other than bittorent that works well on ubuntu?
[05:45] <brasko> It's wierd, I think you need to have the freenx server up and running to go linux->windows or windows->windows
[05:45] <brasko> but I don't know
[05:45] <ompaul> SoLiTaiRe, ???
[05:45] <huhn_2punkt0> HappyFool: are you back again?
[05:45] <_jason> brasko, for windows -> windows I think you would just install the server on one and the client on the other, no?
[05:45] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: just got back
[05:45] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: had any better luck?
[05:45] <huhn_2punkt0> well I reinstalled the server version
[05:45] <ompaul> _jason, I know nothing of windows but that seems logical
[05:45] <SoLiTaiRe> sorry
[05:46] <_jason> ompaul, brasko do they provide a server for windows?
[05:46] <huhn_2punkt0> just quickly tried gcc--version
[05:46] <huhn_2punkt0> but it still says bash: gcc--version command not found
[05:46] <HappyFool> gcc --version   --- the space after gcc is important
[05:46] <brasko> _jason: I don't think so
[05:46] <ompaul> SoLiTaiRe, I had the bot send you a message did you read it?
[05:46] <brasko> _jason: There is no server for windows.
[05:46] <Canoeingkidd> how can I stop desktop icons from appearing when I plug in removable media?
[05:46] <SoLiTaiRe> yes
[05:46] <SoLiTaiRe> thnks
[05:47] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: this is after 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' ?
[05:47] <huhn_2punkt0> no just to do a check whether that gcc stuff was installed this time
[05:47] <brasko> _jason: They don't offer a windows server. http://www.nomachine.com/download.php
[05:47] <ORiON2012> Canoeingkidd: its under "removable media" or something similar in the preferences menu
[05:47] <SoLiTaiRe> but it doesnt give me an addres where I can dawnload
[05:47] <ompaul> SoLiTaiRe, are you still interested or do you want the stable release?
[05:47] <brasko> I see screenshots of people doing this, but there could be any number of problmes.
[05:47] <AGSHender> Hello all
[05:47] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: it is installed along with build-essential ; you shouldn't have it yet
[05:47] <_jason> brasko, yeah I just saw that... hrmm how would you connect to windows?
[05:48] <ompaul> SoLiTaiRe, on your head be it http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/20060113/
[05:48] <brasko> I think you connect to the freenx server, and then it connects to windows.
[05:48] <huhn_2punkt0> wow
[05:48] <huhn_2punkt0> it works this time!
[05:48] <SoLiTaiRe> not the stable realese ..
[05:48] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: great
[05:48] <brasko> Because, it translates RDP to NX technology, stream over the internet, then back to X11 or RDP
[05:48] <SoLiTaiRe> thns a lot
[05:48] <brasko> that way you still get the compression.
[05:48] <_jason> brasko, ah it's more complicated than I thought...
[05:48] <ompaul> SoLiTaiRe, well your gamble :)
[05:48] <AGSHender> Quick question: the Live CD version of Breezy Badger has no ability to write to NTFS, correct?
[05:48] <brasko> _jason: Anyways, I've wasted way to much time on it :)
[05:49] <brasko> _jason: These things are more fun to setup than userful I suppose.
[05:49] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: have you looked here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToSetUpNdiswrapper ?
[05:49] <ompaul> AGSHender, correct
[05:49] <SoLiTaiRe> tnks very much... I hope I can help fixing whatever comes
[05:49] <_jason> brasko, I suppose you could try emailing them
[05:49] <AGSHender> ompaul: But it can read from NTFS?
[05:49] <huhn_2punkt0> yes
[05:49] <ompaul> AGSHender, yeap
[05:49] <huhn_2punkt0> that's the guide after which I am proceeding
[05:49] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: does it have breezy-specific instructions?
[05:49] <ompaul> !tell AGSHender about ntfs
[05:50] <huhn_2punkt0> dont think so
[05:50] <Canoeingkidd> ORiON2012: thanks
[05:50] <brasko> _jason: Looks like I'll have to, thanks. I know it's off topic here. Thanks for listening though.
[05:50] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: oh, are you looking here? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto ?
[05:50] <_jason> brasko, np, listening is pretty much all I did :P
[05:50] <brasko> _jason: I've just come to realize this is the best tech support I've ever found.
[05:50] <AGSHender> ompaul: Excellent.  Trying to salvage data off my Windows partition, trying to avoid installing Windows on another HD just to copy data.  :)  Thanks.
[05:50] <igge> hello anyone who has a bit of time to help? the problem is that I can't get my microphone to wrok...
[05:51] <huhn_2punkt0> I'm proceeding by the latter
[05:52] <ompaul> AGSHender, shame on you leaving data on that partition  :-)
[05:52] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: note that breezy comes with ndiswrapper 1.1 -- building it might be unnecessary
[05:53] <huhn_2punkt0> oh it does?
[05:53] <huhn_2punkt0> Daaaamn :D
[05:53] <kwiat> hi there
[05:53] <HappyFool> heh
[05:53] <AGSHender> ompaul: I had no choice.  I'm a Windows user primarily, just a dabbler in Linux.  My system crashed thanks to a faulty power supply (I think), and I just need to salvage my C drive data onto my D drive before reinstalling.  But yes, I still hang my head in shame.
[05:53] <huhn_2punkt0> now I wasted a lot of space installin ghose packs
[05:53] <aidehua> I think I'm stuck!  I have a laptop which only has PCMCIA networking, and an non-functional CDROM!  It does have a floppy drive though, so maybe I could bootstrap an install using that.
[05:53] <ompaul> huhn_2punkt0, you usually do not need to build anything on ubuntu :) 17500 packages
[05:53] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: i don't know if ndiswrapper-utils is on the CD
[05:53] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: try 'sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils' to find out
[05:53] <ompaul> AGSHender, there was  :-) at the end of the line ;-)
[05:54] <kwiat> id like to set up an ftp-server to download things from my ubuntu-pc to my windows pc (connected via router) - can anyone help me?
[05:54] <AGSHender> ompaul: I know, it's all in good fun.  I should still know better.  :)
[05:54] <kwiat> it could be a simple ftp-server, i just have to download things
[05:54] <huhn_2punkt0> hm it had to be installed
[05:54] <ORiON2012> aidehua: I've used these before : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75372
[05:54] <huhn_2punkt0> so I needed that stuff anyways?
[05:54] <huhn_2punkt0> whatever
[05:55] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: ndiswrapper-utils is on the CD
[05:55] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: have you tried to apt-get install it?
[05:55] <huhn_2punkt0> yes I just di
[05:55] <huhn_2punkt0> d
[05:55] <SoLiTaiRe> thnks a lot ompaul
[05:56] <ompaul> SoLiTaiRe, np, hope it stays stable for you :)
[05:56] <cleo> kwiat: use sftp
[05:56] <kwiat> thanks cleo!
[05:56] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: ok, you're at point 3 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToSetUpNdiswrapper now (under 'How To - Set up Ndiswrapper')
[05:56] <kwiat> is that a simple one?
[05:56] <gpled> on my laptop i have a thick black boarder. how do i make get ubuntu to use all of the screen?
[05:56] <kwiat> im a newbie to linux
[05:57] <SoLiTaiRe> no prob.. It's not for production systems... just to play around a little bit ..:D
[05:57] <kwiat> so configuring shouldn to be difficult
[05:57] <huhn_2punkt0> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto
[05:57] <huhn_2punkt0> I'm using this one
[05:57] <cleo> kwiat: you only need to install openssh and an sftp client for windows
[05:58] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: well, in that case go to 'Installing the Windows Drivers'
[05:58] <kwiat> cool
[05:58] <huhn_2punkt0> yeah thanks :)
[05:58] <kwiat> cleo: is there any open source client for windows?
[05:59] <gpled> is the black boarder, frame buffer?
[05:59] <ORiON2012> kwiat: winscp
[05:59] <cleo> kwiat: I prefer filezilla
[05:59] <kwiat> i already have filezilla so i would use that
[05:59] <kwiat> where is the difference between ftp and sftp?
[05:59] <ORiON2012> kwiat: its encrypted
[05:59] <_jason> kwiat, 'putty scp' if you want command line, but winscp works well
[06:00] <kwiat> oh ok
[06:00] <ORiON2012> kwiat: the data transfered is encrypted
[06:00] <ORiON2012> kwiat: (Secure) File Transfer Protocol
[06:00] <kwiat> so is my breezy ubuntu ready for sftp? or should i apt-get any packages?
[06:00] <ORiON2012> kwiat: that concludes this morning's fun with acronyms
[06:00] <cleo> kwiat: and it's fairly easy to setup, just install openssh-server on the linux box
[06:00] <kwiat> thanks both of all
[06:01] <Marlun> Why does apache (and I think also mysql and php5) get installed in different places if i install them through aptitude then if I install them from source-code? (I've only tested apache this far)
[06:01] <kwiat> so i should type in what in my command line?
[06:01] <_jason> kwiat, to do what?
[06:02] <ORiON2012> Marlun: default prefix is /usr/local for source you compile yourself, just use --prefix=  to change that
[06:02] <cleo> kwiat: in konsole "sudo apt-get install openssh-server"
[06:02] <kwiat> i want to connect from my windows pc in my LAN to my ubuntu-pc to download files onto windows (via sftp)
[06:02] <Mabus06> How can I have it so I can have a folder or something to store music that I can listen to on either XP or Ubuntu. I have dual boot set up. I'd also like to be able to continue torrent downloads regardless of what OS I am on. How do I do this?
[06:02] <_jason> ubotu, tell kwiat about ssh
[06:02] <Marlun> ORiON2012: but I want the defaults.
[06:02] <huhn_2punkt0> HappyFool: sudo: gedit: command not found
[06:02] <Steve^> Hey, how can I edit the order of items in the GRUB bootloader?
[06:02] <huhn_2punkt0> I just use nano instead?
[06:03] <ORiON2012> Marlun: also, packagers for ubuntu tend to make things more standard, fix bugs, etc. so files aren't always in the same place
[06:03] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: yeah. gedit is gnome's editor
[06:03] <Goldfisch> Mabus06: The same machine, or two different machines, one with Windows, the other ubuntu?
[06:03] <_jason> steri, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:03] <ORiON2012> Marlun: so, what's the issue?
[06:03] <Dr_Willis> Mabus06,  you can set up XP to access your linux partitions with the tool at -->  http://www.fs-driver.org/index.html  or make a fat32 partition.
[06:03] <Mabus06> Goldfisch. I have dual boot. Both OSes on the same machine. Two different HDs
[06:03] <Marlun> ORiON2012: so is /etc/apache2 a better place then /usr/local/apache2 ?
[06:03] <Milo> okay now what's the ftp url for my server? :o
[06:04] <Milo> is it ftp://myiphere?
[06:04] <Goldfisch> Mabus06: Ubuntu can mount Windows partitions, but windows can't mount ubuntu partitions. It is better to store it on the windows side, so both sides could see them.
[06:04] <huhn_2punkt0> kinda weird I need SiS drivers although I'm using a netgear wlan card
[06:04] <Steve^> _jason, it is read only?
[06:04] <huhn_2punkt0> just hope its gonna work
[06:04] <ORiON2012> Marlun: better?  that's really just subjective, its just a different path.  Keeping self-compiled and distro packages seperate appeals to me so I know whats what...
[06:04] <_jason> Mabus06, there is a windows driver to let windows read/write to ext2 I believe... or you can try fat32
[06:05] <ORiON2012> Marlun: why would you need one binary isntalled and one source installed Apaches on top of each other?
[06:05] <_jason> Steve^, back it up first, use sudo
[06:05] <Marlun> ORiON2012: Yeah but I like it to be the way it is in the documentations (I'm new to this).
[06:05] <Milo> hmm the tftp server only asks boot image location
[06:05] <Steve^> oh dear, gnome is annoying me now
[06:05] <Milo> oops
[06:05] <huhn_2punkt0> hm
[06:05] <Milo> wrong channel
[06:06] <huhn_2punkt0> the laptop crashed while rebooting
[06:06] <Steve^> I can't duplicate a file via copy and paste (in the same folder)
[06:06] <huhn_2punkt0> is this a bad sign?
[06:06] <ORiON2012> Marlun: when compiling there are many prefix settings for configure
[06:06] <Steve^> maybe it's still readonly
[06:06] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: how did it crash?
[06:06] <_jason> Steve^, that's because you don't have permission
[06:06] <huhn_2punkt0> [numbers]  restarting system
[06:06] <Marlun> ORiON2012: I don't, but I just installed apache2 using source-code since then it installs it in /usr/local/apache2 and also uses httpd.conf as its configuration file and not apache2.conf.
[06:06] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: sounds pretty bad, yeah
[06:07] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: i.e., it spontaneously rebooted?
[06:07] <Marlun> ORiON2012: but then I tried to install php5 source-code but got into trouble with dependencies, I guess :)
[06:07] <huhn_2punkt0> no
[06:07] <huhn_2punkt0> I wanted it to reboot
[06:07] <huhn_2punkt0> but it froze
[06:07] <_jason> Steve^, sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup
[06:07] <ORiON2012> Marlun: the use of apache2.conf was all done by the Debian team...
[06:07] <T1g3rB[] y> Hi
[06:07] <ORiON2012> Marlun: so why not use Ubuntu's Apache?
[06:07] <Steve^> _jason, how do I open menu.lst in a text editor?
[06:07] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: did you edit /etc/modules ?
[06:07] <Steve^> (via the terminal)
[06:07] <huhn_2punkt0> yeah
[06:08] <Goldfisch> I actually have come to like the apache2.conf idea, and using sites-available/sites-enabled. Once I got the hang, it seemed pretty smart.
[06:08] <_jason> Steve^, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:08] <huhn_2punkt0> nah well just restarted it manually
[06:08] <huhn_2punkt0> looks fine so far
[06:08] <ORiON2012> Marlun: I've always found it best to use packages for everything you can, compile anything you can't get from an apt repo from source.
[06:08] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: ok. still, not a good sign
[06:08] <Steve^> _jason,   (gedit:9213): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
[06:08] <Steve^> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[06:08] <rootovic> a
[06:08] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: did those tests (e.g., ndiswrapper -l) work ?
[06:08] <ORiON2012> Marlun: I should say easier, not best
[06:08] <huhn_2punkt0> yeah
[06:09] <_jason> Steve^, just use sudo instead of gksudo then.  I don't know why it does that, mine does it too
[06:10] <huhn_2punkt0> weird
[06:10] <huhn_2punkt0> It worked
[06:10] <yggdrasil> morning folks
[06:10] <Marlun> ORiON2012: The number 1 thing was that they changed stuff in the package installations, like apache2.conf, and installation paths and stuff, I didn't feel comfortable with that since I'm new and I'm reading alot of documentation right now :)
[06:10] <huhn_2punkt0> the install worked fine. but now when I enter iwconfig it wont find no wireless extension
[06:11] <yggdrasil> ive gota problem with my mouse i think  the right mouse button is being interpreted as a middle click or something sometings not right
[06:11] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: and ndiswrapper -l ?
[06:11] <Steve^> where is fstab? for mounting my SuSE and Windows partitions?
[06:11] <huhn_2punkt0> returns that the driver is present
[06:11] <yggdrasil> can somone help me out with that ?
[06:11] <_jason> steri, /etc/fstab
[06:11] <_jason> Steve^, ^
[06:11] <Marlun> ORiON2012: and when I read about the linux directory structure it said that /usr/local/ was for "locally installed software" and /etc/ was for "Configuration files specific to the machine.", and from that it soudnds like /usr/local/ was a better place.
[06:11] <ORiON2012> Marlun: just remember that the file names may differ, but the settings within them will always have the same meaning
[06:12] <yggdrasil> ive gota problem with my mouse i think  the right mouse button is being interpreted as a middle click or something sometings not right can somone help me out with that ?
[06:12] <_jason> yggdrasil, what mouse, pastebin the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:12] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: i'm not sure how to troubleshoot this, sorry
[06:12] <huhn_2punkt0> ah
[06:13] <Goldfisch> Marlun: /etc is for configuration files. There is a /usr/bin and a /usr/local/bin, so that binaries installed from the distro and ones you built yourself are quickly distinguishable.
[06:13] <huhn_2punkt0> guess the driver list was just wrong
[06:13] <ORiON2012> Marlun: right, basically the idea is to keep system software and local software seperate, so for any file you look for (ie /etc/some/file.conf) just prefix it with /usr/local
[06:13] <HappyFool> huhn_2punkt0: i don't have wireless
[06:13] <sweet_kate> hello
[06:13] <yggdrasil> jasone i will its jsut a regular ps2 mouse.. but this is a macintosh with a ps2 port i think that might be the problem ill m ake a pastebing for it right now
[06:13] <ORiON2012> Marlun: keeping the two seperate tends to make upgrades in the core system much easier
[06:13] <_jason> yggdrasil, oh, well I can try but I don't know anything about macs
[06:13] <speedy> i'm trying to install ubuntu from debian, i've chrooted to ubuntu partition when i run "/usr/sbin/base-config new" i get "Terminted" msg
[06:13] <sweet_kate> if i keep my printer shut down while booting my machine and after i decide to print, how do i proceed? must i load some modules?
[06:14] <lanjelot> is there any harm to totally remove init scripts lvm and evms since my cpu don't use those features
[06:14] <ORiON2012> sweet_kate: is it usb?
[06:14] <sweet_kate> yes
[06:14] <sweet_kate> ORiON2012: 
[06:14] <Marlun> ORiON2012: any tips on installing from source, how to know which dependecies the source-code has? php.net lists it's dependencies but when I did ./configure it complained about some libxml (not exactly that but something like that).
[06:14] <owner> i think the ubuntu kernel is compiled with evms support
[06:14] <owner> but otherwise you could remove it
[06:14] <Goldfisch> lanjelot: Technically, you can remove those packages if you have no lvm/evms partitions.
[06:14] <_jason> Marlun, you are installing php from source?  why?
[06:14] <speedy> and when i do apt-get install some-package, it looks for debian repository not ubuntu CD
[06:15] <ORiON2012> sweet_kate: no, the system will load whats needed on demand
[06:15] <sweet_kate> ok
[06:15] <Marlun> _jason: testing mostly :)
[06:15] <Goldfisch> speedy: You probably need to check your /etc/apt/sources.list, and see if it is pointed at ubuntu or debian machines.
[06:15] <sweet_kate> so i simply push print on kate?
[06:15] <speedy> deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian breezy main
[06:15] <_jason> Marlun, try 'sudo apt-get build-dep php5'
[06:15] <Marlun> _jason: plus that I didn't like that they put things in /etc/
[06:16] <yggdrasil> jason this isnt the exact conf. but the mosue stuff here is the same http:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7139//paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7139
[06:16] <Goldfisch> I didn't know debian hosted ubuntu releases.
[06:16] <sweet_kate> another question: i ve firefox 1.0.7 and want to upgrade to 1.5, but there's not a newer firefox in my repositoriews!!
[06:16] <sweet_kate> how do i do?
[06:16] <Marlun> _jason: ah,
[06:16] <ORiON2012> Marlun: it's often easier to install the deps using apts powerful dependency resolution, so for example I would "apt-get build-dep php5" thereby apt-get would install all dependencies necessary to build php5 from source
[06:16] <Marlun> _jason: that seems interesting :)
[06:16] <speedy> Goldfisch neither me, i got that by default!
[06:16] <Marlun> ORiON2012: great :)
[06:16] <ORiON2012> Marlun: without actually installing php5 itself
[06:16] <Profichilla> sweet_kate firefox 1.5 needs to be installed manually
[06:16] <Marlun> ORiON2012: yeah, I understand that much :P
[06:17] <yggdrasil> jason and like i said this is a macintosh with a ps2 port kind of rare and its a wheel mouse standard ps2 wheel mouse
[06:17] <Goldfisch> speedy: I didn't. Are you upgraded a debian machine with ubuntu, or is this a clean install?
[06:17] <sweet_kate> Profichilla: so?
[06:17] <Marlun> but will I get in trouble if I install apache and php from source and then mysql with aptitude? :)
[06:17] <ORiON2012> Marlun: for the items that don't have an apt alternative you're at the mercy of what the software author tells you are the deps
[06:17] <Profichilla> sweet_kate try automatix for that ... it's pretty handy for that kind of things
[06:17] <speedy> Goldfisch, i'm not upgrading, i'm installing ubuntu from debian in a seperate partition
[06:17] <ORiON2012> Marlun: then you just have to go hunting...
[06:18] <Profichilla> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=66563&highlight=Automatix
[06:18] <Goldfisch> speedy: What do you mean "I'm installing ubuntu from debian"? I installed ubuntu from CD, and there was no involvement with debian.
[06:18] <yggdrasil> haha
[06:18] <LinuxMonk> ubotu, tell Profichilla about automatix
[06:18] <speedy> Goldfisch have you ever heard of chroot?
[06:18] <badmouth> hello: some days ago I installed plone + plone-site. Now how can I access to this plone or to the management console? thnx
[06:19] <Goldfisch> Marlun: That is the whole reason many of us like using apt-get instead of installing from source. The guesswork of dependencies has already been worked out. Just requires we sort of differences in documentation.
[06:19] <yggdrasil> wow no need to hide ips here huh
[06:19] <yggdrasil> hahah
[06:19] <Goldfisch> speedy: Yes.
[06:19] <Profichilla> :(
[06:19] <Marlun> ORiON2012: yeah :) thanks for the help! (I had another thing with php where they said they needed flex version 2.5.4, and the flex version i could get with aptitude was lower).
[06:19] <_jason> yggdrasil, does everything else work fine? scroll, middle-click etc?
[06:19] <sweet_kate> how much timw should take firefox's compilation process?
[06:20] <LinuxMonk> yeah Profichilla not worth using at all unless u want a system like windows :( fill of holes
[06:20] <Marlun> Goldfisch: just wiched I could tell it not to install it or change any files and such.
[06:20] <huhn_2punkt0> That's weird. ndiswrapper -l tells me: driver and hardware present
[06:20] <ORiON2012> Marlun: if you're into the latest and greatest software built from source, try Gentoo.
[06:20] <huhn_2punkt0> still iwconfig tells me that there is no wireless extension
[06:20] <speedy> Goldfisch: great, section 4 from chapter C in ubuntu installation guide, Installing Ubuntu from a Unix/Linux System tells you how to do it
[06:20] <_jason> yggdrasil, open a terminal and run 'xev'.  Click in the box and see what button # it generates for middle click and right click, are they different?
[06:20] <owner> you can build from source in ubuntu/debian as well
[06:20] <yggdrasil> -jason no the scroll wheel doesnt work at all and it seems as if the right click is doing the middle button i fianaly figured out atht i need to hit f12 to get some right click and f11 seems tp be performin same action as right click button currently does
[06:21] <yggdrasil> _jason i will do it now
[06:21] <sweet_kate> how much timw should take firefox's compilation process?
[06:21] <ORiON2012> Marlun: takes all the guesswork out of dependencies, but it tends to be more up to date than binary distros, although its often quite breakable
[06:21] <Goldfisch> speedy: I never read "Section 4 from chapter C". I have no idea what guide you are talking about. I loaded an empty machine from CD, and BTW I like it. :)
[06:22] <Marlun> ORiON2012: But is it easier to install from source-code in Gentoo or does Gentoo just come with more uptodate stuff?
[06:22] <yggdrasil> ok jason you want that into a pasetebin ?
[06:22] <Marlun> ORiON2012: were you talking about Gentoo now?
[06:22] <ORiON2012> Marlun: that's a topic for #gentoo :)
[06:22] <_jason> yggdrasil, you can just tell me the numbers it genereated
[06:22] <omer> hello
[06:22] <Marlun> ORiON2012: well, I like Ubuntu so I don't think I should change now :P I
[06:23] <omer> http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/oYV6Y169.html
[06:23] <_jason> yggdrasil, it'll stay a bunch of stuff when you click, towards the end it will say 'button #'
[06:23] <Goldfisch> sweet_kate: All depends on your CPU and memory of the machine you are building. I watched MythTV build in 20 minutes on amd64, but 3 hours on Celeron 433.
[06:23] <omer> i have the error mesage above after i login gnome in ubuntu
[06:23] <ORiON2012> Marlun: prob. a good plan to stick with something if you're realtively new to linux
[06:23] <Marlun> ORiON2012: well, thanks again! Have to go get some pizzas now :
[06:23] <omer> can you help me
[06:23] <ORiON2012> Marlun: and Ubuntu is a ERY easy distro to use
[06:23] <ORiON2012> VERY*
[06:23] <Marlun> :)

[06:24] <gpled> anyone understand how to chang your laptop screen size?  only getting 800x600.  it goes higher under other distros.
[06:24] <IanS> hi there...
[06:24] <_jason> ubotu, tell yggdrasil about pastebin
[06:24] <ORiON2012> gpled: are you using GNOME?
[06:25] <gpled> ORiON2012: yes
[06:25] <yggdrasil> _jason also in gnome i tested and its not right clicking there either.
[06:25] <_jason> yggdrasil, above that, it will say 'Button release vent'
[06:25] <gpled> ORiON2012: using ubuntu'a default.  thought it was all gnome
[06:25] <mike100> onboard system ram -- what Ubuntu Linux command do I type to find out how much I have?
[06:26] <ORiON2012> gpled: there are screen options under the preferences menu

[06:26] <yggdrasil> thats it
[06:26] <ORiON2012> gpled: or settings, not sure, but its in there
[06:26] <ORiON2012> gpled: been a while since I've seen a GNOME desktop
[06:26] <_jason> yggdrasil, ok right click generates button 2, how about middle click?
[06:26] <yggdrasil> not getting anything
[06:27] <Steve^> Does this look right to mount my drive in fstab?   /dev/hda6	/media/suse	reiserfs	defaults	0	0
[06:27] <yggdrasil> is button 2 the correct button for right click
[06:27] <gpled> ORiON2012: thats where i am seeing 800x600 at.  how do i add higher res to that option?
[06:27] <clem_yeats> hi
[06:27] <Steve^> I rebooted and nothing has been mounted, just got a failed on startup
[06:27] <brasko> OK, has anyone used rdesktop to connect to windows?
[06:27] <_jason> yggdrasil, mine gives me 3, middle gives me 2
[06:27] <yggdrasil> yea thats what i thought
[06:27] <clem_yeats> which package shall I install to get everything to develop and compile ? make , gcc, headers etc...
[06:27] <clem_yeats> I can't remember the name of THE package..
[06:27] <mike100> brasko -- yes, I love it. I use it a lot
[06:28] <brasko> Could you quickly help me set it up?
[06:28] <QbY> i changed my sources.list, and performed a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade to 5.10, it ran for a while, and then after i rebooted, everything stillsays 5.04
[06:28] <brasko> or at least try? DOn't need much time.
[06:28] <yggdrasil> i turned offemulate 3 buttons  and its off right now because i had the middle button but it didnt do anything different when i had it on
[06:28] <ORiON2012> gpled: ah, that would require some xorg.conf magic
[06:28] <mike100> brasko -- sure, what do you need help with?
[06:28] <yggdrasil> ill have to relaod x to test that change
[06:28] <yggdrasil> let me do that then ill come back
[06:28] <yggdrasil> kk
[06:28] <brasko> First, I'm running windows XP home, can I connect to that? or do I have to modify some settings on it?
[06:28] <mike100> brasko -- you do know, perhaps, that tsclient is like the "GUI" for the command-line "rdesktop", correct?
[06:28] <brasko> nope, didn't know.
[06:28] <omer> http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/oYV6Y169.html
[06:29] <omer> can you help me
[06:29] <brasko> O, wow.
[06:29] <mike100> brasko -- Also, you can reach tsclient GUI via Internet, Terminal Server Client
[06:29] <yggdrasil> _jason but it is a 3 button mouse so i should have emulat turned off correct ?
[06:29] <mike100> on GNOME menu in Ubuntu 5.10
[06:29] <_jason> yggdrasil, yeah you don't need it
[06:29] <ORiON2012> gpled: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg    that should walk you trhough it and have resolution options towards the end
[06:29] <brasko> OK, so do I have to modify the windows XP home setup? in control panel at all?
[06:29] <yggdrasil> _jason so then what do you make of it ?
[06:29] <brasko> and, is Domain relevant to me?
[06:29] <gpled> ORiON2012: thanks
[06:30] <mike100> brasko -- domain is not relevant
[06:30] <_jason> yggdrasil, no idea, you can't get a usb mouse?
[06:30] <mike100> brasko -- you need to get both in same subnet to make it easy
[06:30] <yggdrasil> no usb ports on this
[06:30] <brasko> Yeah, that's done.
[06:30] <brasko> I'm on a LAN
[06:30] <yggdrasil> the ff12 button is workin for me ... but you know
[06:30] <mike100> brasko -- more than likely, if at home behind a firewall/router with a DHCP server on it -- yeah, you probably do have in same subnet.
[06:30] <brasko> Yeah, definatly am.
[06:30] <mike100> brasko -- good, now you need to know the IP address of your XP system. (Don't share it with any of us here.)
[06:30] <brasko> Got it.
[06:31] <yggdrasil> and so like i have this on a kvm switch and the other ubuntu box is a regular intel box same mouse same exact definition in ther it works fine. all 3 buttonswork.
[06:31] <brasko> I put that in for "Computer"
[06:31] <yggdrasil> im gonna do some more research on it then.... thanks xev is valuable tool that i know about now
[06:31] <mike100> brasko -- a quickie is to type "rdesktop <ip address>" (minus the <>)
[06:31] <yggdrasil> bl
[06:31] <yggdrasil> bbl
[06:31] <brasko> ERROR: connect: Connection refused
[06:31] <brasko> That's what I keep getting
[06:31] <brasko> driving me crazy
[06:32] <mike100> brasko -- you probably have a firewall turned on inside your XP
[06:32] <brasko> I dought it, but I'll look.
[06:32] <mike100> Let me see what port terminal service uses and help you poke a hole in your XP firewall.
[06:32] <brasko> windows firewall is off, and no security software.
[06:33] <brasko> Do I have to have remove assistance on for this to work?
[06:33] <eno> Is there a keyboard shortcut to minimize all windows (like Super+m) in windoze?
[06:33] <mike100> brasko -- oh, forgot one thing
[06:33] <mike100> brasko -- you need to get into system control panel and turn on remote desktop
[06:35] <mike100> brasko -- firewall hole needs to be for TCP 3389, if that's even necessary. Might not be necessary. Test without changing this, first.
[06:35] <vermoos> anyone know of skype (or equivalent) in universe repository?

[06:40] <halibut> fit in this case:
[06:40] <halibut> http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?product_uid=93403
[06:40] <halibut> I mean physically fit in the front bay and still have room for the sonata door to shut, thanks
[06:40] <huhn_2punkt0> NOOOO
[06:40] <mwe> ORiON2012: someone just suggested it would
[06:40] <huhn_2punkt0> my wlanstick aint supported
[06:40] <huhn_2punkt0> despite whats written on the page
[06:40] <huhn_2punkt0> NOOOOOOOOOOO
[06:40] <_jason> yggdrasil, try adding the line: Option          "Buttons"               "5", messing with that I have seen xev report different numbers.  Restart X of course.  Try 6 or 7 too maybe
[06:41] <choundappan> can I get help here?
[06:41] <mwe> choundappan: shoot
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> halibut,  cases with cheap plastic front doors are a pain :P
[06:41] <ORiON2012> choundappan: yup
[06:41] <turbofisk> I can't get transparency to work with the terminal window
[06:42] <turbofisk> I can get the stuff around it transparent, but not the window :(
[06:42] <turbofisk> running fluxbox
[06:42] <ORiON2012> Dr_Willis: the sonata's a really nice case :)
[06:42] <choundappan> I'm a complete newbie. I think I screwed up in the partition part of the installation of ubuntu
[06:42] <choundappan> SO now I lost 10 GB
[06:42] <mwe> turbofisk: what terminal?
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> halibut,  i got one of those cases. :P it suckjs when the cd ejects while the door is closed
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> ORiON2012,  i have several of them :P
[06:43] <turbofisk> urxvt
[06:43] <funkatron> I agree Dr_Willis
[06:43] <choundappan> I formatted one of my partitions to ext 3 but still I cant access it
[06:43] <mwe> turbofisk: tried urxvt -tr?
[06:43] <halibut> Dr_Willis, do you think there would be room for those volume knobs on the soundcard and the door to close?
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> Double hinge door design: allows the door to open up to 270 - then fall off. :P
[06:43] <funkatron> I got a Antec SX1045BII same thing here
[06:43] <eZe> should I install the 64-bit version of ubuntu? I have heard it is still a bit unstable
[06:43] <ORiON2012> lol
[06:43] <Stormx2> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=656186 <-- Apache2 is broken :(
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> halibut,  they are on my 2 cases like that.. but the problem is - like if i use the headset jack.. then the doors in the way
[06:43] <brasko> mike100: I don't have remote desktop option in XP home. Should I?
[06:43] <brasko> Do you?
[06:44] <funkatron> I took off the door to make things simpler
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> halibut,  need the cd in/out - ya open the door.. same with knobs..

[06:44] <mwe> turbofisk: what urxvt package do you have?
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> halibut,  i think on that one - even the ON/Off button is behind the door
[06:44] <halibut> Dr_Willis, so you have that soundcard too? I am just worried it wonht be able to fit
[06:44] <mike100> brasko -- that's the problem
[06:44] <mike100> brasko -- XP Home doesn't come with it, unfortunately
[06:44] <turbofisk> mwe: apt-get install rxvt-unicode :)
[06:44] <brasko> mike100: Crap. So this won't work for me, eh?
[06:44] <mike100> brasko -- XP Pro does
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> halibut,  what sound card? :P i got an Auduigy2zs  with the bay thing
[06:45] <brasko> mike100: Is that what you have?
[06:45] <turbofisk> it should work, right?
[06:45] <MarcN> Stormx2: What is in /var/log/apache2/error.log ?
[06:45] <mike100> brasko: Unfortunately, you are correct.
[06:45] <Dr_Willis> Oh yea.. the remote wont work - if the doors closed.. :P
[06:45] <mwe> turbofisk: looks right
[06:45] <turbofisk> so I have to recompile
[06:45] <eZe> should I install the 64-bit version of ubuntu? I have heard it is still a bit unstable
[06:45] <turbofisk> ok
[06:45] <ramvi> Hey =) I got an error-message when I installed network-manager. I don't get it working :( http://pastebin.com/505555
[06:45] <brasko> mike100: Man, that really stinks.
[06:45] <mike100> brasko: I use XP and W2K + W2K3 at office. At home, I only have W2K.
[06:45] <varsendagger> hey i am trying to use qemu and it seems to need 196 mb of ram and i only hve 128 but i have 256 swap how do i teel it to treat swap like physical memory?
[06:45] <mike100> brasko: I know, but perhaps I can cheer you up.
[06:45] <mwe> turbofisk: I didn't have to
[06:45] <brasko> mike100: do a song and dance? jk
[06:45] <mike100> brasko: I think there's something else you can load
[06:45] <brasko> mike100: OK, what is it?
[06:46] <brasko> mike100: Now I realize I should have bought XP Pro.
[06:46] <mike100> brasko: Let me check the net. I had heard about something like "nx" and people were crazy about it -- was much faster than VNC.
[06:46] <funkatron> got a quick question on kernels
[06:46] <brasko> mike100: That's what I'm using!
[06:46] <Stormx2> MarcN: Its empty!
[06:46] <mike100> brasko: the easy thing is VNC, but people complain about its speed.
[06:47] <brasko> mike100: I'm using nx, the problem is I keep getting connection refused.
[06:47] <abejoklisss> how can i get skype for ubuntu?
[06:47] <brasko> mike100: It *also* uses RDP.
[06:47] <mike100> brasko: So you're not using rdesktop, but using nx?
[06:47] <brasko> mike100: Which is why I decided to test that first.
[06:47] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell abejoklisss about skype
[06:47] <mike100> brasko: oh.
[06:47] <brasko> mike100: Well, I've been trying to get nxdesktop working for hours and hours, now I've simplified to rdesktop
[06:47] <bateau_> what is the url to the repository maker?
[06:47] <funkatron> I got a A64 3000+, I installed the K7 portion of the kernel,headers and image. Now would I lose out on the procs extensions?
[06:47] <mike100> brasko: with NX, you can install a client on Windows, I believe.
[06:47] <brasko> mike100: The nx stuff actually uses nxdesktop which is a fork of rdesktop
[06:47] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell bateau_ about easysource
[06:48] <Eleaf> gnomefreak, ahahahahha
[06:48] <bateau_> thank you :)
[06:48] <Eleaf> oh lol
[06:48] <aidehua> Hmmm.  So it turns out that while my crappy old laptop is indeed unable to read CDROMs correctly, there is also something  else that causes the partition creation part of the install to fail.
[06:48] <MarcN> Stormx2: if you do an apt-get upgrade again, does it finish installation?  What version are you running too?
[06:48] <gnomefreak> yw bateau_
[06:48] <brasko> Yeah, there's no way it's gonig to work with RDP if that equals remote desktop.
[06:48] <aidehua> (The broken CDROM thing was a red-herring.)
[06:48] <brasko> mike100: So, I'll have to start a VNC server.
[06:48] <brasko> and connect to that.
[06:49] <eZe> should I install the 64-bit version of ubuntu? I have heard it is still a bit unstable
[06:49] <mwe> of course you need the server to be running on the remote side
[06:49] <mike100> brasko: http://www.nomachine.com/download_client_windows.php
[06:49] <huhn_2punkt0> whats the command to untar something?
[06:49] <mwe> eZe: I don't recommend it but some people are almost religious about it
[06:50] <brasko> mike100: yeah, that's the client. I use that to connect to linux.
[06:50] <mike100> oh, client
[06:50] <mike100> doesn't host -- my goof
[06:50] <ramvi> Problem with NetworkManager: Got an error-message when I installed it. I don't get it working :( http://pastebin.com/505555
[06:50] <gnomefreak> tar xvfz tarred file
[06:50] <brasko> OK, got to go.
[06:51] <huhn_2punkt0>  ubotu, tell huhn_2punkt0 about cli
[06:51] <mike100> brasko: Looks like you'll be using BitTorrent, tor.org, and some Russian sites to get yourself a copy of XP Pro.
[06:51] <mike100> brasko: And then fish on groups.google.com to get the license key. Tee hee.
[06:51] <gnomefreak> huhn_2punkt0, i gave you the command already
[06:52] <ramvi> Please? :/
[06:52] <gnomefreak> huhn_2punkt0, cd into dir where tar is than type tar xvfz firstfewletters <tab>
[06:52] <huhn_2punkt0> ah ok
[06:52] <huhn_2punkt0> sorry
[06:53] <huhn_2punkt0> didnt notice
[06:54] <speedy> where is the shadow file in ubuntu?
[06:54] <mike100> speedy: cat /etc/shadow
[06:54] <ORiON2012> speedy: /etc/shadow I'm guessing
[06:54] <huhn_2punkt0> oh
[06:54] <speedy> it doesnt exist
[06:54] <huhn_2punkt0> its a tgz file
[06:54] <mwe> speedy: it does
[06:54] <huhn_2punkt0> how do I unpack it
[06:54] <mwe> speedy: but only root can read it
[06:54] <ORiON2012> speedy: non-root users can't read it
[06:55] <mwe> speedy: sudo ls /etc/shadow
[06:55] <mike100> speedy: sudo cat /etc/shadow
[06:55] <gnomefreak> huhn_2punkt0, same way
[06:55] <speedy> i'm in chrooted environment with root
[06:55] <mike100> speedy: forget that, try the command and let us know
[06:55] <mwe> speedy: that's the point of the shadow system, that not everyone can read the shadow file
[06:55] <gnomefreak> huhn_2punkt0, after xvfz type first few letter of tar file than hit the tab key it will complete it for you
[06:56] <gnomefreak> huhn_2punkt0, what are you trying to compile?
[06:56] <huhn_2punkt0> how do i specify the folder where to unpack
[06:56] <speedy> okay there is no shadow file, passwords are encrypted in passwd file
[06:56] <huhn_2punkt0> trying to get some drivers for my wlan card
[06:56] <mwe> speedy: huh?
[06:56] <eZe> can I then upgrade the 5.xx 32-bit version to a 6.xx 64-bit version? (as soon as 6.xx is released of course)
[06:56] <mike100> speedy: you using Ubuntu 5.04 or 5.10?
[06:56] <speedy> 5.10
[06:56] <mwe> speedy: how did you disable it?
[06:56] <gnomefreak> huhn_2punkt0, it will unpack in same dir
[06:56] <mike100> speedy: Did you somehow uncheck some option to disable shadow passwords during your install?
[06:57] <huhn_2punkt0> ok
[06:57] <gnomefreak> huhn_2punkt0, you know you need toolds before you go about something liek this right?
[06:57] <speedy> mwe: i didnt do anything, just installed from debootstrap
[06:57] <gnomefreak> tools*
[06:57] <mike100> guys, if I'm right, if speedy has no shadow password file, then this is insecure.
[06:57] <mike100> doesn't shadow store the salt rather than an encoded for of the password?
[06:57] <gnomefreak> huhn_2punkt0, you need to install build-essential
[06:57] <mike100> encoded form, not encoded for, I mean
[06:58] <gnomefreak> huhn_2punkt0, also be good idea to run sudo apt-get build-dep packagename
[06:58] <huhn_2punkt0> i did...
[06:58] <huhn_2punkt0> no. I dont compile anything
[06:58] <huhn_2punkt0> I just dled drivers somewhere and they were in a tgz file
[06:58] <mwe> mike100: shadow stores the encrypted passwords like normal passwd but only root can read the encrypted passwords
[06:59] <gnomefreak> huhn_2punkt0, ok
[06:59] <mike100> mwe: danke, gracias
[06:59] <speedy> brb, i'll reboot to ubuntu

[07:02] <bobod> how to install yahoo messenger..pls help,,,
[07:03] <foe> ok dlng it at apt....
[07:03] <gnomefreak> sudo apt-get install gaim :)
[07:03] <foe> thanks for the help
[07:03] <mwe> bobod: why not just use gaim or something?
[07:03] <gnomefreak> lol
[07:03] <gnomefreak> bobod, yahoo messenger is garbage on linux
[07:03] <mwe> bobod: however I believe you can dl the linux version from yahoo.com and install it if you insist on using it
[07:04] <gnomefreak> mwe yep you can but i dont think there are debs
[07:04] <mike100> bobod: switch to gaim
[07:04] <owner> yahoo messenger for linux is junk
[07:04] <owner> better off using gaim
[07:04] <owner> it doesnt support any features
[07:05] <owner> besides it hasnt been updated in 2 years
[07:05] <eugman> hmm the help thing for find is a bit confusing. What command would I do to find ALL folders with the word php in it's name?
[07:05] <owner> 2003
[07:05] <mwe> eugman: find -type d -iname "*php*"
[07:05] <gnomefreak> locate php
[07:06] <mwe> but that would find it on the whole system though
[07:06] <mwe> an files too
[07:06] <mwe> he only want dirs
[07:06] <gnomefreak> mwe, oh ok
[07:07] <mike100> when I do "df -h" I see 2 entries for tmpfs -- is that a bug that I have created or is that natural in Ubuntu 5.10?
[07:07] <bobod> mwe : apt-get -f  install gaim
[07:07] <bobod> Reading package lists... Done
[07:07] <bobod> Building dependency tree... Done
[07:07] <bobod> gaim is already the newest version.
[07:07] <bobod> You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
[07:07] <bobod> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[07:07] <bobod>   ymessenger: Depends: libgdk-pixbuf2 (>= 0.13.0) but it is not going to be installed
[07:07] <bobod>               Depends: libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0) but it is not going to be installed
[07:07] <bobod>               Depends: libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.0) but it is not going to be installed
[07:07] <bobod>               Depends: libssl0.9.6 but it is not going to be installed
[07:07] <mwe> mike100: I get that as well
[07:07] <eugman> thanks guys
[07:07] <mike100> mw: phew! Thanks
[07:07] <bobod> what wrong ?
[07:07] <mwe> bobod: don't paste in here
[07:08] <bobod> hurm..sorry
[07:08] <gnomefreak> bobod, first off gaim in already installed second please dont paste in here
[07:08] <gnomefreak> bobod, go to applications>internet>gaim
[07:08] <mike100> bobod: use pastebin.com, no problem -- you're new
[07:08] <mwe> bobod: did you add some weird repo to sources.list or something?
[07:08] <bobod> ok..sorry bro
[07:09] <mike100> bobod: I think you need to get rid of ymessenger first to fix this
[07:09] <mike100> bobod: sudo apt-get remove ymessenger
[07:09] <bobod> k
[07:09] <mike100> bobod: sudo apt-get update -f; sudo apt-get clean
[07:09] <owner> gaim is a pretty good yahoo client
[07:09] <gnomefreak> i would purge it too
[07:09] <owner> and it has chat
[07:09] <mike100> bobod: sudo apt-get install gaim
[07:10] <gnomefreak> mike gaim is installed already
[07:10] <mike100> gnomefreak: purge?
[07:10] <gnomefreak> he doesnt need to install it
[07:10] <mike100> gf: okay

[07:14] <Farris1> Ok, here's a sticky one: We had an array failing, so I rsync'd all the data to a new one, then moved to a new array for all our machines. However, I rsynced several times before switching to the new server, and I didn't use --delete, so any files removed between rsyncs now exist again on the new array. The old array finally did kick the bucket, so I don't have it anymore. Can anyone think of a way to sort out the unneeded data that wasn'

[07:16] <_jason> akk, try #kubuntu
[07:17] <akk> _jason: I suspect it's not kubuntu specific; it might be the installer being inconsistent, putting it on some machines and not others.
[07:17] <akk> _jason: Just not sure about that.

[07:22] <_jason> chuck_, what kind of help
[07:23] <chuck_> unable to get updates to do anything
[07:23] <transgress> okay when i try to use aptitude to install anything, it keeps trying to uninstall all kinds of kde stuff... i upgraded to kde 3.5 with the repo on the kubuntu site, but i am wondering why it is trying to remove these things...
[07:23] <_jason> chuck_, what are you doing to try to get them
[07:23] <gnomefreak> update or upgrade?
[07:23] <ramvi> How come firefox 1.0.7 is the "newest version"? apt-get upgrade don't have an upgrade for firefox...?
[07:23] <gnomefreak> and do anything caould be lil less general :(
[07:23] <owner> what are you trying to install transgress
[07:24] <chuck_> click on update and enter password and nothing happens
[07:24] <owner> it hasnt been backported ramvi
[07:24] <_jason> ramvi, because ubuntu breezy is a stable release.  Only security updates are provided between releases.
[07:24] <gnomefreak> transgress, its probibly removing them to install the new ones
[07:24] <owner> but you can install firefox 1.5 unofficially
[07:24] <ORiON2012> ramvi: firefox 1.5 will take a bit of work to get running, it will be included in the next ubuntu release
[07:24] <transgress> gnomefreak: these are the new ones i think.
[07:24] <ramvi> oh...
[07:24] <_jason> chuck_, do the other gui admin tools work?  try synaptic for example
[07:24] <transgress> gnomefreak: and apt-get doesn't find any newer packages...
[07:24] <gnomefreak> ramvi, FF1.0.7 is newest stable release for linux
[07:24] <yeskhing> how can I make totem to play mpeg files? or where to download decoders?
[07:24] <ramvi> Can't I just add an url to apt-get?
[07:25] <owner> maybe
[07:25] <ramvi> If I'd like more then security updates
[07:25] <_jason> ubotu, tell yeskhing about multimedia
[07:25] <transgress> ramvi: ha there is a wiki for upgrading to ff 1.5 if you look
[07:25] <gnomefreak> transgress, you should be fine if you match some of the things its removing with some that is being installed
[07:25] <ramvi> Thanks ;)
[07:25] <chuck_> same thing i click on synaptic and get nothing
[07:25] <_jason> ramvi, backports
[07:25] <ORiON2012> ramvi: there are packages on some sourceforge page, don't recall
[07:25] <owner> backports dont have ff 1.5
[07:25] <_jason> chuck_, has it ever worked?
[07:25] <_jason> owner, nope
[07:25] <chuck_> no
[07:25] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell ramvi about ff1.5

[07:28] <dreamkatana> how do I release my IP address under ubuntu?
[07:28] <Eleaf> why does openbox take so much longer to open the terminal and webbrowser compared to kde??
[07:28] <foo_> dreamkatana: like under windows?
[07:28] <Eleaf> lol
[07:28] <dreamkatana> yes
[07:28] <gnomefreak> foo_, whats wrong with default install?
[07:29] <P5YCH0> one must first realize there using ubuntu

[07:31] <_jason> viller, or apt-get, it will be there
[07:31] <dreamkatana> Ok, but this will only erase my ip address under Ubuntu
[07:31] <mc|amb> _jason, that doesn't make the trick, is there something more powerful?

[07:31] <ORiON2012> viller: sudo dpkg -r
[07:31] <foo_> gnomefreak: this is what i did, i mounted /dev/hda3 to /target
[07:31] <cyphase> or better yet, a livecd that does that
[07:32] <chuck_> jason, its asking for a password
[07:32] <_jason> mc|amb, not that I know of?  They look perfect over here.  Did you choose subpixel smooting?

[07:34] <omerix> how can i search packages in console
[07:34] <_jason> omerix, apt-cache search

[07:37] <midwinter> omerix: I use xchm
[07:37] <gnomefreak> foo_,  i dont see why not but you would know better having used gentoo longer than i

[07:40] <midwinter> omerix, well there isn't anything in ubuntu by default so you have to install something..
[07:40] <ORiON2012> cyphase: terribly sorry, I was thinking of KDE, it does have limited GConf ability to prohibit certain actions
[07:40] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell mc|amb about fixres
[07:40] <_jason> azion, like an icon set you download from gnome-look.org?
[07:40] <moodsoft> hi all, I just installed Ubuntu for the first time, and I was wondering, I don't recall it asking me to set a root password. did I miss something?
[07:40] <mc|amb> gnomefreak thanks
[07:40] <chuck_> will that go from one desktop to another
[07:41] <HappyFool> !root
[07:41] <_jason> ubotu, tell moodsoft about root
[07:41] <ubotu> By default, the root password is locked in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[07:41] <azion> _jason, Ypu, but I'm already using a theme
[07:41] <tristanmike> Can someone help me with a "dmesg" error involving DMA @ http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7153

[07:41] <moodsoft> thanks _jason
[07:41] <_jason> azion, just drag it into the theme preferences window and install it.  Then if you go to theme details you should be able to choose it
[07:41] <azion> Cheers

[07:44] <Opinie> Could somebody help me?
[07:44] <_jason> chuck_, we're going to need to add you to the admin group so you get sudo privileges.  Do you have access to root?  Do you remember creating a root password?
[07:44] <_jason> ubotu, tell Opinie about ask
[07:44] <foo_> Opinie: ask your question
[07:44] <HappyFool> !expert

[07:44] <foo_> Opinie: dont.. a you allready ...
[07:44] <HappyFool> _jason: fwiw, earlier someone had a similar problem, and also had to create the admin group
[07:45] <ORiON2012> foo_: ?
[07:45] <catskul> Opinie, with ?
[07:45] <yeskhing> Is there a Yahoo Messenger made for Ubuntu?
[07:45] <_jason> HappyFool, he doesn't know if he used expert
[07:45] <Opinie> I'm not able to get my updates its saying all the time when I try to update something like unable to "fetch"... "404 not found"
[07:45] <moodsoft> does Ubuntu come w/ a easy to use menu system so I can tell it what daemons to run on boot up?
[07:45] <ORiON2012> yeskhing: GAIM
[07:45] <chuck_> Yes i did create a root but axcess to it i don't know for sure
[07:45] <_jason> chuck_, this account you are on now is the account you created during install?
[07:45] <ORiON2012> yeskhing: works for all major (and non-major :) chat protocols
[07:46] <peshkin> Hi...  I have just built and packaged clamav-0.88 using the standard debian instructions.  It had some rejects as I patched, (uupdate) but built OK.  Am I foolish to try to install it?  Can I always get back to the official version or am I likely to f**k myself up badly?
[07:46] <foo_> has anybody installed an ubunt on a system where a /home partition allready exists?
[07:46] <chuck_> yes
[07:46] <yeskhing> Orion thanks
[07:47] <sven_> good evening, ./configure command doesn't work in Ubuntu, what do I need to install/enable to make that work?
[07:47] <mike100> foo_: yes
[07:47] <Opinie> So can somebody help? as you probably noticed I'm a bit of a newbie with this stuff...
[07:47] <catskul> Opinie, it sounds like the repositories on your list are not good.
[07:47] <mike100> foo_: that's my config right now
[07:47] <sampan> foo_ yes, several times.  just choose a different username than already exists in /home (otherwise you'll get permission errors when you try to log in), and it works fine
[07:47] <ORiON2012> sven_: try build-essential
[07:47] <catskul> Have you changed them at all ?
[07:47] <Opinie> catskul: that's right...
[07:47] <foo_> mike100: i don't get the expert installer to install a kernel
[07:47] <yeskhing> GAIM is the default instant messenger of Ubuntu. Is there an actual yahoo messenger  made for Ubuntu?
[07:47] <ORiON2012> sven_: apt-get isntall it that is
[07:47] <_jason> chuck_, try to guess the root password.... type: su, and guess your common ones.  Tell me if you can't figure it out.
[07:47] <gnomefreak> anyone know what kernel 2.6.13-15 is for?
[07:47] <Opinie> catskul: do you want to instruct me how to do it?
[07:47] <mwe> yeskhing: there is a linux client but it sucks
[07:47] <sven_> ORiON2012: it is installed, it worked in Kubuntu, but I switched back...
[07:47] <ORiON2012> yeskhing: no, Yahoo releases its client for Linux but its total crap
[07:48] <gnomefreak> someone said they had that on breezy  breezy latest kernel is 2.6.12-10 :(
[07:48] <chuck_> k
[07:48] <mike100> foo_: beyond my expertise, I'm afraid. Try gnomefreak. He's the gifted and talented person today.
[07:48] <Nightwind> can any one tell me if there is a way to install Ubuntu 5,10 totally from floppy disk?
[07:48] <yeskhing> So, you guys preffer not to download and use GAIM instead?
[07:48] <catskul> Opinie, no I was asking the question because I thought maybe you had accidentally broken them.
[07:48] <gnomefreak> mike100, i am not
[07:48] <gnomefreak> lol
[07:48] <egon_spengler> yeskhing: The LINUX client from Yahoo is very old, and does not support much of anything other than IMs
[07:48] <foo_> mike100: i talked to him allready
[07:48] <ORiON2012> yeskhing: yup
[07:48] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell Nightwind about install
[07:48] <catskul> Opinie,  im not sure if I can help ,but do this :
[07:48] <yeskhing> well, thanks guys..
[07:48] <foo_> sampan: did u use the expert install ,or the normal
[07:49] <_jason> chuck_, when you respond put my name in front cus I'm going to be reading something and won't notice unless you do, thanks
[07:49] <shrike_00> how do I get ubuntu to leave my numlock on when i start system or go to new term?
[07:49] <catskul> open up a terminal window
[07:49] <Opinie> catskul: no I don't think so...
[07:49] <catskul> and switch to root with su
[07:49] <yeskhing> Anyone selling 5-10 gig (cheap) hard drive here? =)
[07:49] <ORiON2012> shrike_00: numlockx
[07:49] <sampan> foo_ normal.  expert install leaves you without X.  just install normal, but make sure you do custom partitioning and tell ubuntu where the /home partition is and not to format it :)
[07:49] <gnomefreak> shrike_00, look in you help icon find the guide in there than tips and tricks it will show you what to do
[07:49] <sven_> Orion, never mind, it worked with my own account and not with root...
[07:49] <Opinie> ok...
[07:49] <catskul> yeskhing, go to ebay
[07:50] <bateau_> hey! is there any torrent-tracker program for ubuntu out there? that is easy to set up :)
[07:50] <catskul> Opinie, type apt-get update
[07:50] <shrike_00> thx
[07:50] <foo_> sampan: okay, thats the point, i used expert installatioon to avoid this
[07:50] <foo_> so i will do a normal install sampan
[07:50] <catskul> bateau_, apt-cache search torrent
[07:50] <_jason> yeskhing, what do you consider cheap.  I have a 30gb laptop drive sitting around doing nothing
[07:50] <yeskhing> okay to ebay!
[07:50] <bateau_> i did that catskul, but didnt find any
[07:50] <Nightwind> Ubotu can you tell me if there is a way to do a total install of 5.10 from floppy disk?
[07:50] <Opinie> catskul: Did it but its all "failed to fetch /http.....
[07:51] <gnomefreak> foo_, is it breezy or dapper tha you are installing (just asking)
[07:51] <ubotu> okay, Nightwind
[07:51] <Opinie> *"
[07:51] <sven_> next question: while configuring xmms it asks for glib 1.2.2 but 2.x is installed...
[07:51] <sampan> foo_, ohhh -- there's probably a way to go from expert install to normal without having to reinstall completely, but i've never done it ... :/
[07:51] <gnomefreak> Nightwind, did you read the wiki ubotu sent you
[07:51] <ORiON2012> Nightwind: What in the hell?
[07:51] <gnomefreak> if its not on there no ther is no way
[07:51] <Nightwind> I'm reading it now
[07:51] <catskul> Opinie, paste your output at www.pastebin.com and give me the URL of the resulting page
[07:52] <yeskhing> Well, I have a 20 gig HDD partitioned for 5 gig linux and rest is windows. I wanted a separate drive for linux.
[07:52] <chuck_> _jason, what if the administration password and user acount password is the same
[07:52] <foo_> gnomefreak: ohh, i'm not a native english speaking , what means breezy or dapper
[07:52] <sarah> does any one know the best way to install codecs in linux? im an EX windows user
[07:52] <ORiON2012> Nightwind: total as in total? or as in net install?
[07:52] <Rawplayer> MI
[07:52] <mwe> !w32codecs
[07:52] <ubotu> [w32codecs]  a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular proprietary formats not currently supported by free implementations under linux. See http://tinyurl.com/e4a5s to install
[07:52] <Nightwind> I need to do it toally from floppy disk
[07:52] <gnomefreak> foo_, what version of ubuntu are you trying to install?
[07:52] <_jason> chuck_, that's fine.  were you able to login to root?
[07:52] <sven_> can anyone help me with glib 1.2.2 that cannot be found with 2.x installed?
[07:52] <catskul> foo_,  those are versions of ubuntu... along with numbers they are referenced with somewhat random names
[07:52] <Nightwind> 5.10 is the version I need to install
[07:52] <foo_> gnomefreak: indeed its kubuntu
[07:52] <_jason> ubotu, tell Nightwind about smartboot
[07:52] <gnomefreak> Nightwind, i do not think that is an option
[07:53] <Nightwind> I know about smart boot and Toms
[07:53] <ORiON2012> Nightwind: that'd take 9 years for a full ubuntu-desktop install :)
[07:53] <gnomefreak> foo_, kubuntu 5.10? 6.04? 5.04?
[07:53] <ssam> foo_ they are version names, you want breezy unless you are an ubuntu developer or tester
[07:53] <Nightwind> I have 9 years
[07:53] <foo_> gnomefreak: will have a look
[07:53] <tristanmike> My hard drive doesn't appear to be using (U)DMA or eve PIO, how can I get it to do this?
[07:53] <Nightwind> I really need to do it that way
[07:53] <chuck_> _jason, no i am wondering if i did put a root password in, cause it didn't work
[07:53] <peshkin> Nightwind: got USB?
[07:53] <foo_> gnomefreak: 5.10
[07:54] <gpled> Nightwind: you have a network card?
[07:54] <Nightwind> the machine I have doesn't have USB, Net work, or IDE
[07:54] <gnomefreak> ok foo_  im not sure than
[07:54] <_jason> chuck_, okay we can still take care of this problem.  Do you have a livecd?
[07:54] <Nightwind> it has a scsi cd
[07:54] <chuck_> _jason, yes
[07:54] <Opinie> catskul: is that thing what I just pasted pastebin.com now available for everybody to see O_o?
[07:54] <ORiON2012> tristanmike: take a look at hdparm yet?
[07:54] <_jason> chuck_, boot with the livecd and come back here
[07:54] <Eleaf> how do I make openbox look pretty?
[07:55] <gpled> Nightwind: scsi cd should work
[07:55] <Eleaf> or does anybody reccomend another window manager?
[07:55] <peshkin> Nightwind: If you are lucky, you can start with floppy and switch to your scsi CD once your install begins
[07:55] <gnomefreak> Opinie, yep :)
[07:55] <yeskhing> for package manager, if you check the binary box, do you have to check the source box also?
[07:55] <catskul> Opinie, yes
[07:55] <chuck_> _jason,ok be back in a few
[07:55] <Opinie> catskul: are you sure that's what I want to do?
[07:55] <gnomefreak> Eleaf, dump it and use xfce?
[07:55] <tristanmike> ORiON2012, yeah, what in particular are you asking about?
[07:55] <gnomefreak> lol
[07:55] <Eleaf> gnomefreak, xfce is too slow and big.
[07:55] <Nightwind> gpled the BIOS doesn't allow booting from SCSI
[07:55] <catskul> Opinie, there shouldnt be any sensitive information in the error log of an "apt-get update"
[07:56] <gnomefreak> Opinie, the more people that see it the more help you are likely to get
[07:56] <peshkin> Nightwind: boot from floppy but then try to access the rest of the install from CD
[07:56] <Eleaf> gnomefreak, this is my laptop, not my main computer.  I usually use KDE, but I wanna try something else.
[07:56] <ORiON2012> tristanmike: all manner of HDD parameters are set with hdparm
[07:56] <Opinie> ok...
[07:56] <Eleaf> gnomefreak, xfce uses more resources than kde for me.
[07:56] <gnomefreak> ahhhh
[07:56] <Opinie> http://pastebin.com/505663
[07:56] <Nightwind> peshkin I have and that will not work
[07:56] <gpled> Nightwind: you can get a disk, that will do that for you
[07:56] <_avatar> is there any way to remove the "Suspend" option in my "System -> Log Out" dialog?
[07:56] <Opinie> there you go...
[07:56] <gnomefreak> see i get it the other way around
[07:56] <mrtwister> hello.. it is possible to use xfree. not xorg in 5.10? is xfree included in repository?
[07:57] <Nightwind> I have a disk you cannot istall from it due to the BIOS
[07:57] <yeskhing> brb
[07:57] <gpled> Nightwind: a floppy disk
[07:57] <tristanmike> ORiON2012, if you're asking if there is a * on the "active mode" then there isn't a * which is why I suspect no DMA, plus I'm getting an error in dmseg http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7153
[07:57] <catskul> Opinie, that is really strange It would be hard for those archives to be down
[07:57] <sarah> Thanks and one last think do u know where i can get a driver to run the printer and scanner its a lexmark x1100?
[07:57] <Nightwind> I have about 200 floppys LOL
[07:57] <gnomefreak> Nightwind, your bios dont have a boot from cdrom option?
[07:57] <catskul> Opinie, just a sec
[07:57] <foo_> gnomefreak: now i get used to the partition manager/programm
[07:57] <Opinie> catskul: ok...
[07:58] <gpled> Nightwind: you boot off a floppy, that in turn boots off the cd
[07:58] <Nightwind> gnome no it doesn't
[07:58] <moodsoft> I'm sorry if somone has answered this before, but is there a text based menu that I can tell Ubuntu which daemons I want started automatically?
[07:58] <djk_> is it possible that the timezone of the kde clock sometimes changes for no reason?
[07:58] <catskul> Opinie, those address are working for me: try this
[07:58] <ORiON2012> tristanmike: /dev/hda is functioning correctly?
[07:58] <HappyFool> moodsoft: maybe update-rc.d (command-line only) or rcconf
[07:58] <catskul> Opinie, take one of the addresses which failed
[07:58] <foo_> gnomefreak: it's possible to select the existing partitions and give them a mount point
[07:58] <catskul> and go to it with your browser
[07:58] <catskul> http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy-security/main/source/ for example
[07:58] <gnomefreak> Opinie, you have an internet connection?
[07:58] <Nightwind> we've not been able to make a floppy that will boot it to where we can access the CD
[07:58] <Opinie> yep...
[07:58] <foo_> gnomefreak: This is what i missed
[07:58] <mwe> Nightwind: get another 200 and you can store the contents of a complete cd on them
[07:58] <catskul> gnomefreak, are you serious ???!!!
[07:58] <gnomefreak> foo_,  yes im pretty sure it is
[07:59] <tristanmike> ORiON2012, hda is XP and from what I understand, working just peachy
[07:59] <Nightwind> mwe ok I can do that so how would I do it?
[07:59] <gnomefreak> catskul, what?
[07:59] <catskul> gnomefreak, he/she is on IRC... how whould Opinie not have an internet connection ?
[07:59] <gnomefreak> i had to ask :)
[07:59] <Opinie> =P
[07:59] <Myrtti> huh
[07:59] <gnomefreak> catskul, another pc??????
[07:59] <catskul> Opinie, did you check that address
[07:59] <mwe> Nightwind: I don't know. but you'd have the floppy space to do it
[07:59] <catskul> gnomefreak, oh : P
[08:00] <gnomefreak> Opinie, what country are you in?
[08:00] <catskul> finland
[08:00] <Opinie> catskul: I did and I was unable to get there anyway...
[08:00] <Eleaf> lol
[08:00] <Nightwind> I have all the floppies I need  I just don't know how to do it
[08:00] <catskul> what was the error when you tried... did you get a 404 or did it just time out ?
[08:00] <Opinie> catskul: you checked my ip or something? or how did you know that? =D
[08:00] <gpled> Nightwind: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmartBootManagerHowto
[08:00] <gnomefreak> Opinie,  i would try to drop the us in the repos either use de or nothing at all see if that helps
[08:01] <nelson> jdub: what's your email addy?
[08:01] <foo_> gnomefreak: indeed, i didn't understand, that you must set the mount points, in the partition dialog
[08:01] <Nightwind> gpled I have been there
[08:01] <nelson> jdub: oh, wait, nevermind, here:    http://cr.yp.to/hardware/build-20060107.html
[08:01] <tristanmike> ORiON2012, you see, I can't install anything anymore and I get that dmesg error. apt-get will update but won't install, neither will Synaptic or Adept or blah
[08:01] <Nightwind> I REALLY need to install totally from floppy on this machine
[08:01] <catskul> gnomefreak, Opinie: also, it seems likely to be a temporary thing... if you dont want to mess with your repository list you could probably just wait it out
[08:01] <catskul> try again in an hour
[08:01] <mwe> Nightwind: I don't think you can. not that I know of at least
[08:01] <Nightwind> gpled that doesn't tell me how to put Ubuntu on floppys
[08:02] <nelson> jdub: Dan Bernstein recommends Ubuntu on his "Standard Workstation" instructions.  Tells you how to build a double-core AMD64 machine for $760 (sans monitor, keyboard and mouse)
[08:02] <moodsoft> ok, last question (and this may actually take a while to answer) I have 2 drives on the system. how do I find out what ubuntu calls the second drive, so I can fdisk it, and use all of it as one giant partition for samba?
[08:02] <gnomefreak> catskul, us has issues with thier repos going down thats why i got rid of the us mine never die now :)
[08:02] <Opinie> catskul: I've waited something like 7 days now...
[08:02] <mwe> storing a cd on 400 floppies would take ages
[08:02] <gpled> Nightwind: the file you are tying to put on a floppy is to big.  it will not fit.
[08:02] <catskul> gnomefreak, Opinie the repository is actually up right now
[08:02] <Nightwind> mwe I have the time and the need
[08:02] <catskul> its a matter of Opinie's connection rather than the repository
[08:03] <Nightwind> gpled I understand that but there should be some way to span mutiple floppies
[08:03] <HappyFool> moodsoft: 'sudo fdisk -l' will list the drives; it might help you
[08:03] <mwe> Nightwind: I have no idea how to do it if it can in fact be done
[08:03] <catskul> but, I agree that chaning the repository would be better if you often have connection problems
[08:03] <gnomefreak> Opinie, can you please paste your sources.list file on pastebin?
[08:03] <Nightwind> Yes I know that gpled that's why I need to spam multiple disk
[08:04] <gpled> Nightwind: you can, but you would have to brake it up, and then you can not run the code
[08:04] <catskul> gnomefreak, thanks for helping Opinie
[08:04] <Opinie> gnome: eeh?
[08:04] <moodsoft> HappyFool, thanks. I hope that samba can handle a partition that is 200 GB :-)
[08:04] <gnomefreak> catskul, anytime :)
[08:04] <Nightwind> So for a fact there is NO work around for this and it is impossible to do
[08:04] <Opinie> thanks for helping me gnomefreak and catskul
[08:04] <catskul> Opinie, cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:05] <HappyFool> moodsoft: i don't know what's samba's limits are, but it should be ok
[08:05] <thenuke> how should I install irssi 0.8.10?
[08:05] <sweet_kate> how can i see my installed packages in order of size?
[08:05] <gnomefreak> Opinie, in terminal type gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and please paste it on the same site you used last time
[08:05] <mwe> Nightwind: couldn't you just somehow mount the iso file from the hdd?
[08:05] <ompaul> Nightwind, no CD?
[08:05] <thenuke> when the repositorys does not have it?
[08:05] <gnomefreak> cat is easier :)
[08:05] <ompaul> Nightwind, no booting CD?
[08:05] <gpled> Nightwind: have you also looked in your scsi controler at boot up?
[08:05] <KasperTech> Hi, when I run fluxbox my network drasticly fails.
[08:05] <gnomefreak> !info irssi
[08:05] <crimsun> !info irssi dapper
[08:05] <ubotu> irssi: (terminal based IRC client), section net, is optional. Version: 0.8.10-1 (dapper), Packaged size: 989 kB, Installed size: 2764 kB
[08:06] <moodsoft> Thanks Happyfool.
[08:06] <crimsun> in breezy it's irssi-text
[08:06] <KasperTech> I have a 4 mbit connection and in Gnome it's fine, but in Fluxbox my DLRate is near 10 kb/s, how come?
[08:06] <Nightwind> mwe and ompaull, no there is no way as it has 8 SCSI drives and the BIOS doesn't support booting from the SCSI CD rom
[08:06] <KasperTech> I have a 4 mbit connection and in Gnome it's fine, but in Fluxbox my DLRate is near 10 kb/s, how come?
[08:06] <Nightwind> there is no BIOS flash to up date the  bios
[08:06] <mwe> Nightwind: I asked if you could mount the iso file somehow. not the cd
[08:06] <ompaul> KasperTech, trying to draw from the same place?
[08:06] <Nightwind> mwe, not I cannot
[08:07] <mwe> Nightwind: why not?
[08:07] <gpled> Nightwind: how big is your hard drive?
[08:07] <Opinie> http://pastebin.com/505680 || here it is
[08:07] <bobod> gnomefreak :  ls
[08:07] <bobod> install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz
[08:07] <bobod>  ..how i wan install this
[08:07] <KasperTech> ompaul: What do you mean?
[08:07] <foo_> gnomefreak: hmm fu*** same error: unable to install initrd-tools
[08:07] <mwe> Nightwind: and why wont SBM work?
[08:07] <ompaul> KasperTech, were both downloads from sites with good speed and both large enough to allow for a blip
[08:07] <gnomefreak> Opinie, the first line the cdrom repo put a # infront of it
[08:08] <moodsoft> HappyFool, would I be correct in assuming the default Ubuntu installation would include samba?
[08:08] <KasperTech> ompaul: Yes.
[08:08] <Nightwind> this machine I am talking about is a quad processor, 1 gig  8 SCSI, IDE floppy and SCSI CD rom there is no way that I know of to mount the ISO
[08:08] <moodsoft> and sshd?
[08:08] <KasperTech> That is... it was the same server.
[08:08] <gnomefreak> Opinie,lines 29 and 30 need to take the # aways from them
[08:08] <HappyFool> moodsoft: um, i don't think the samba server is installed by default
[08:08] <gnomefreak> atleast the line 29
[08:08] <mwe> Nightwind: yes if you can boot linux floppies
[08:08] <ompaul> Nightwind, I remember something like that years ago with a certian unmentionable unix variant --- the cdrom had to be on 5 or 7 or something for it to boot
[08:09] <mwe> Nightwind: you can get basic linux floppy sets on a few floppies
[08:09] <Nightwind> ompaul thanks
[08:09] <Opinie> gnomefreak: so I'll add what to the first line?
[08:09] <mwe> Nightwind: then you'd be able to mount the iso file from the hdd
[08:09] <gnomefreak> Opinie, main concern is the cd rom repo either put a # infront of it or take that line out totally
[08:09] <Eleaf> how do I make openbox pretty?
[08:09] <Eleaf> XD
[08:09] <Eleaf> lol
[08:09] <gnomefreak> Opinie, the very very first line put a # infront of the word deb
[08:10] <HappyFool> !tell moodsoft about samba
[08:10] <Nightwind> mwe I was wondering about that  but I am not sure exactly what issues if any I will have that way but I guess I can try
[08:10] <ORiON2012> Eleaf: it's already gorgeous in tis simplicity
[08:10] <HappyFool> moodsoft: those wiki links should help
[08:10] <ompaul> Nightwind, it was about 8 years ago so sorry I can't remember the details there was something funny about what was terminated
[08:10] <mwe> Nightwind: yeah
[08:10] <Nightwind> MWE any recommendations on with tiny linux to use?
[08:10] <bobod> gnomefreak : how i wan install flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz
[08:10] <bobod> ..
[08:11] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell bobod about flash
[08:11] <mwe> Nightwind: not really. I used one like 5 years ago or so but I forgot which by now
[08:11] <foo_> gnomefreak: hmm same error: unable to install initrd-tools
[08:11] <Nightwind> OMPAUL I am too new to linux so I never heard of that which is probably a good thing
[08:11] <gnomefreak> foo_, bad iso?
[08:11] <Eleaf> ORiON2012, ok, can you reccomend some stuff to me?  Like a panel...  I'm not liking the ones I'm using.
[08:11] <ompaul> Nightwind, allow me to suggest to mwe this mad idea debian should boot off a floppy if you do sarge then upgrade to breezy
[08:11] <ORiON2012> Eleaf: I always like py-panel
[08:11] <sarah> would any one know how to get avi files to play? ive just installed the w32codecs and i just get the sound
[08:11] <dukebody> i want to create an user that can't go under his home directory how can i do this?????
[08:12] <deefzi> where can i get more gamma/brightness in ubuntu?
[08:12] <ompaul> mwe, am I evil enough yet?
[08:12] <foo_> gnomefreak: cant cheack, the iso was on the pc ...hmm no its on the home partition
[08:12] <Eleaf> ORiON2012, pypanel will not load for me!
[08:12] <teroedni> sarah:You need ffmpeg i think
[08:12] <jamppe> moi
[08:12] <teroedni> search for it
[08:12] <teroedni> or
[08:12] <gnomefreak> Opinie, what happened after you did that
[08:12] <gpled> does ubuntu support flatpannels?
[08:12] <teroedni> sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
[08:12] <jamppe> gchkghl
[08:12] <Nightwind> OMPAUL so install debian then istall 5.10?
[08:12] <ompaul> gpled, uest
[08:12] <crimsun> sarah: you need to install gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg, which is in universe
[08:12] <sarah> thanks where would i got for that?
[08:12] <jamppe> do you speak finnland
[08:12] <ompaul> gpled, that whould have been "yes"
[08:13] <crimsun> !tell sarah about repos
[08:13] <jamppe> gay mother
[08:13] <Opinie> gnome: so I'll just add "#" to the first line?
[08:13] <halibut>  when it says tv on a graphics card, does that mean a tv tuner or tv out?
[08:13] <Marlun> On gnome-look.org there GTK 2.x themes, metacity and gdm, whats the difference?
[08:13] <gnomefreak> Opinie, for now yes
[08:13] <ompaul> jamppe, stop - while you are ahead
[08:13] <Opinie> ok
[08:13] <Opinie> and save?
[08:13] <ompaul> Nightwind, yes
[08:13] <ORiON2012> Eleaf: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Openbox#Panels.2C_Desktops_and_Backgrounds
[08:13] <jamppe> opinie osaakko suomea
[08:13] <gnomefreak> Opinie, yes save than run sudo apt-get update
[08:13] <ompaul> Nightwind, a minimum install of that
[08:13] <Opinie> jamppe: osaan =)
[08:13] <teroedni> !tell
[08:13] <Eleaf> ORiON2012, I read that
[08:13] <Eleaf> ORiON2012, open up your msg
[08:13] <jamppe> moro
[08:14] <Opinie> gnomefreak: ok I'll do that...
[08:14] <Opinie> jamppe: moro
[08:14] <Eleaf> lol
[08:14] <crimsun> Marlun: gtk 2.x themes are for the widgets (boxes, etc.). metacity themes deal with the window borders. gdm is the graphical login.
[08:14] <maxkelley> anyone use fluxbox?

[08:32] <mwe> steve_: where did you get it?
[08:32] <midwinter> progrock, you mean it was slow in windows? then it will only be slower..
[08:32] <foo__> gnomefreak: is there a howto... which describes the debconf configuration
[08:32] <mwe> steve_: you shouldn't just install random debs

[08:35] <Opinie> gnome: yes...

[08:35] <chuck> _jason, i had same problem with the live cd as i have with suse 10.0, on line with no communication
[08:35] <Opinie> or something like that?
[08:35] <midwinter> progrock, I think that's with win 2000 actually
[08:36] <gnomefreak> Opinie, one last time paste your full sources.list again please
[08:36] <ramvi> Where should I ask a question about network-manager?
[08:36] <_jason> chuck, I see... do you know how to mount your drive?
[08:36] <midwinter> I have xp on mine i'd say it's more like 70-80
[08:36] <progrock`> midwinter, ok cool... got an idea of how much HD space wmware, windows, and photoshop took up.... waiting for my new HD before ubuntu gets a large partition
[08:36] <KasperTech> How do I figure out what apps are stealing my broadband??

[08:37] <Eleaf> ahk.
[08:37] <alex_> can anyone help me with edubuntu
[08:37] <HappyFool> KasperTech: iptraf is quite a neat traffic monitor
[08:37] <ompaul> KasperTech, none are, you choose to run as many instances of streamers and bittorrent and hey there you go
[08:37] <mwe> !helpme
[08:37] <ubotu> If you don't actually ask a question, we can not actually help you.
[08:37] <halibut>  anyone who can quickly look over my pc order before I click ok to check I am not making a terrible mistake? ^^
[08:37] <Eleaf> I forgot, where is the file that I can edit what keys are mapped to for the keyboard?  Like right click on a single click mouse.
[08:37] <ompaul> alex_, what is your specific question
[08:38] <_jason> chuck, ok I am going to give you instructions, one sec
[08:38] <sarah> im stupid with linux do i need to install mplayer im useing totem 1.2.0
[08:38] <alex_> I cannot get the tftp boot to work on clients.  They will get ip address from dhcp server, however they say they cannot find file.
[08:38] <midwinter> progrock, 2GB will be enough for just that with xp at least, 98 is maybe less I guess
[08:38] <_jason> sarah, use totem-xine if you want to use totem, but I would recommend mplayer
[08:38] <chuck> _jason, i can do a screenshot
[08:38] <mwe> Eleaf: mouse and keyboard layout are configured differently
[08:39] <gnomefreak> can someone give me a hand here weve tried every country code and without it with different lists and they are 404ing him/her all over
[08:39] <action09> sarah  these are differents programs :) i use mplayer but choose mplayer for your cpu ( 586,686..Etc)
[08:39] <action09> sarah mplayer-plugin is nice to watch trailers in firefox too :)
[08:39] <Opinie> gnome: him...
[08:39] <Eleaf> mwe, ok where are they?
[08:39] <sarah> im only using it cut it defults to it
[08:39] <gnomefreak> Opinie, im asking for help with yours cause its not the repos or servers
[08:39] <ompaul> halibut, that is a matter of personal choice, I could not look at it without saying you don't need X or Y or you need more Z, >>/msg ubotu hardware<< do this and make sure your components are supported
[08:40] <sarah> ok i would like to use mplayer how would i go about installing it?
[08:40] <HappyFool> gnomefreak: archive.ubuntu.com seems OK to me. you got a specific URL 404'ing ?
[08:40] <Opinie> gnome: yeah I know you just putted him/her...

[08:43] <HappyFool> perhaps there's a transparent web proxy mucking things up ?
[08:43] <gnomefreak> thats why i cant fully support his issue alone everything seems fine
[08:43] <odat> jared_, creative webcams work well
[08:43] <foo__> gnomefreak: damn, initrd-tools faild again, (i smalled the /boot)

[08:44] <HappyFool> Opinie: can you browse to http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy-security/main/binary-i386/ with firefox ?
[08:44] <mwe> Eleaf: the keyboard to right click?
[08:44] <Eleaf> mwe, yes
[08:44] <odat> jared_, what kind of webcam is it?
[08:44] <mwe> Eleaf: you wanna configure the mouse or the keyboard I don't understand
[08:44] <jared_> i just need a list, nothing else
[08:44] <Opinie> HappyFool: yes I can...
[08:44] <Eleaf> mwe, I want to configure a different key to right click
[08:44] <alex_> how do i join edubuntu room?

[08:44] <Eleaf> mwe, currently it is F11 and F12 for right/middle click.
[08:45] <mwe> Eleaf: oh. read man xmodmad I think
[08:45] <progrock`> Anyone know how to change the sensitivity of a touchpad (alps i think)... im clicking on everything by mistake
[08:45] <midwinter> jared_, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras maybe
[08:45] <Eleaf> mwe, well I remember there was a config file, where you can map keys.
[08:45] <jared_> ty
[08:46] <HappyFool> Opinie: could you put your sources.list on the pastebin? (if it isn't there already)

[08:46] <oldi> welchen treiber kann ich fr den drucker connon i560 nehmen
[08:46] <odat> Eleaf, look under preferences there is a keyboards shortcuts gui
[08:46] <HappyFool> Opinie: what's that first error?
[08:46] <mwe> Eleaf: /etc/X11/Xmodmap I believe
[08:46] <HappyFool> Opinie: 'sudo: unable to lookup  via gethostbyname()'
[08:47] <Opinie> happyfool: yeah what about it?
[08:47] <vermoos> ,streamers
[08:47] <Eleaf> odat, preferences?
[08:47] <Eleaf> odat, I'm not using a gui
[08:47] <vermoos> fsbot,streamers
[08:47] <HappyFool> Opinie: you changed your hostname?
[08:47] <Eleaf> odat, well sometimes, but I don't wanna configure it using the gui.
[08:47] <foo__> i'm installing kubuntu and get an error: unable to install initrd-tools
[08:47] <_jason> chuck, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7154
[08:47] <odat> Eleaf, k
[08:47] <HappyFool> Opinie: make sure you have an entry for your hostname in /etc/hosts
[08:48] <foo__> i'm installing kubuntu and get an error: unable to install initrd-tools; anybody a clue?
[08:48] <vermoos> how do your get a response from fsbot, or is it a human?
[08:48] <Opinie> HappyFool: how do I do that?
[08:48] <jjfleshmonkeyfle> when installing- I was never prompted to set a root password
[08:48] <odat> has anyone checked out FrostWire yet?
[08:48] <_jason> chuck, do that after booting the livecd
[08:48] <jjfleshmonkeyfle> now I have no root password.  Whats up with that?
[08:48] <gpled> how do you hit ctr alt - on a laptop?
[08:48] <midwinter> !root
[08:48] <ubotu> By default, the root password is locked in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[08:48] <jjfleshmonkeyfle> wow by default ubuntu is gimped.
[08:48] <Eleaf> mwe, that file doesn't exist
[08:48] <HappyFool> Opinie: edit the file /etc/hosts; the top line should look like    '127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ubuntu'      where 'ubuntu' is your hostname
[08:48] <jjfleshmonkeyfle> damn I shoulda thrown this pc out instead of wasting time putting gimpbuntu on it
[08:49] <midwinter> by the sounds of it.
[08:49] <Juhaz> jjfleshmonkeyfle, you should also have thrown your trolling ass out with the garbage
[08:49] <mwe> Eleaf: Eleaf /etc/X11/Xmodmap doesn't exist? well make it then
[08:49] <chuck> _jason, in the browser?
[08:49] <gnomefreak> HappyFool, did you find it?
[08:49] <Opinie> HappyFool: Ok now I'm really confused... what am I supposed to do?
[08:50] <odat> jjfleshmonkeyfle, ubuntu is made up of completely free software   hence gimped  you have to add all the non free stuff  like certain codecs
[08:50] <Eleaf> mwe, ok, well what do I put in that file?
[08:50] <_jason> chuck, that is my terminal.  You would do those commands in your terminal on the livecd
[08:50] <HappyFool> Opinie: well, let's first do this: what does 'hostname' output ?
[08:51] <chuck> _jason, so that will remote you to me
[08:51] <Opinie> HappyFool: do you mind explaining what that meens first?
[08:51] <HappyFool> Opinie: i don't mind explaining ;). What exactly do you want to me to explain? Your hostname is the network name of your computer
[08:52] <_jason> chuck, no, you aren't understanding.  Those are just commands.  for example 'sudo fdisk -l' is the first command that you will type.  The stuff after '#' are just comments that I am giving you
[08:52] <halibut> I am going to buy a new pc, is there anything here which might not play nice with ubuntu? http://rivex.no-ip.org/images/spec.jpg
[08:52] <Opinie> HappyFool: I guess 'hostname' and output would be nice to know...
[08:53] <HappyFool> Opinie: run the command 'hostname' and tell me what is output
[08:53] <Opinie> just write "hostname?
[08:53] <Opinie> *"
[08:53] <HappyFool> Opinie: yip. and press enter. no quotes though ;)
[08:53] <Opinie> ok ^^
[08:53] <chuck> _jason, ok continue
[08:54] <_jason> chuck, that's it.  just boot the live cd and do what that pastebin tells you
[08:54] <buzzy> i need to rename all files in a dir with letter "s" and change "s" to "a" ..how can i do it?
[08:54] <Opinie> nothing happened...
[08:54] <HappyFool> nothing?

[08:57] <Anoebis> I somehow removed apt-get and adept, how can I install them back automaticly?
[08:58] <brasko> Is there a tool with synaptic that will remove all unused packages?
[08:58] <nfx> !javadebs
[08:58] <ubotu> Java can be found in multiverse. Sun (i386) debs here: http://mirror2.ubuntulinux.nl IBM (PPC) debs here: http://giannaros.org/buntu/breezy.  UNOFFICIAL debs of more recent JRE's can be found in Seveas's repositories.  See wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[08:58] <_jason> brasko, I think you can use deborphan, but I never have
[08:58] <HappyFool> Opinie: what does the prompt in the shell say? (the bit to the left of where you type) Mine says 'rory@ubuntu:~/hack$'     -- yours probably starts with 'root@' and ends with '#'
[08:59] <brasko> Yeah, that's what I used to use in debian
[08:59] <brasko> So, I have to uninstall nxdesktop :(
[08:59] <brasko> O well.
[08:59] <Opinie> HappyFool: root@:~#
[08:59] <Cloud> will ubuntu fit on a 1.6 gig HD or should I use live cd?
[08:59] <HappyFool> Opinie: your machine lacks a hostname, which is kind of weird
[09:00] <Opinie> you know I have the normal user side and then the root side
[09:00] <Opinie> did you understand what I meen?
[09:00] <midwinter> brasko, in the menu for synaptic there is filters where you can set up a filter that uses deborphan
[09:00] <HappyFool> err
[09:00] <HappyFool> Opinie: no
[09:00] <Opinie> kewl...
[09:00] <HappyFool> you mean you have a 'user' shell running somewhere too?
[09:00] <Eleaf> I want to learn how to use inkscape...
[09:00] <Eleaf> lol
[09:01] <Opinie> HappyFool: What does a shell meen? =D

[09:01] <brasko> midwinter: thanks.
[09:01] <Anoebis> how can I install *.deb package from CD without apt-get ?
[09:01] <HappyFool> Opinie: anyway, we're supposed to be fixing your apt; maybe this hostname thing is irrelevant
[09:02] <Opinie> let's hope so...
[09:02] <Eleaf> I want to learn how to use inkscape...
[09:02] <HappyFool> Opinie: could you put your sources.list up on the pastebin?
[09:02] <onkarshinde> Anoebis: 'sudo dpkg --install package.deb'
[09:02] <Seveas> !deb
[09:02] <ubotu> To install a deb: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
[09:03] <_jason> Anoebis, with dpkg, but it won't resolve dependencies
[09:03] <Opinie> could you paste the command that I need to see that sources.list I managed to forget it already...
[09:03] <HappyFool> Opinie: are you using gnome ?
[09:03] <Opinie> HappyFool: yes...
[09:03] <onkarshinde> Opinie: less /etc/apt/sources.list

[09:10] <ZarathustraDK> Could anyone help me? I got Tvtime showing perfect video, but the sound is missing. I tried unmuting all existing channels, didn't work. My tvcard doesn't have a sound out line s I can't connect it to the soundcards line in. Last I tried using "sox -r 32000 -w -t ossdsp /dev/dsp2 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp" but I don't have a dsp2-device. Any way to circumvent this? I need sound! :)
[09:11] <Opinie> HappyFool: "normal" laptop...
[09:11] <HappyFool> Opinie: ok
[09:12] <Opinie> do you still have some ideas?
[09:12] <HappyFool> Opinie: yeah, one second
[09:12] <Opinie> ok kewl...
[09:12] <HappyFool> Opinie: does this work?     wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz
[09:13] <Opinie> HappyFool: yes it does do you want me to download that?
[09:13] <HappyFool> Opinie: wget is a command
[09:13] <abejoklisss> where can i get amule?

[09:14] <Opinie> " I guess it doesn't
[09:14] <HappyFool> Opinie: ah-ha!
[09:14] <Opinie> that's the problem?
[09:15] <deefzi> is there an option in the xorg.conf, so that i wouldn't have to type xgamma -gamma blaablaa every time i start Xserver again
[09:15] <HappyFool> Opinie: what does echo $http_proxy say ?
[09:15] <HappyFool> Opinie: that is, 'echo $http_proxy'
[09:16] <Opinie> should I paste that in terminal?
[09:16] <HappyFool> yip
[09:16] <HappyFool> without quotes
[09:16] <ZarathustraDK> Does anyone know how to get sound in Tvtime?

[09:18] <yggdrasil> whats up can somone give me  hand with trying to remap my right click so that its right click not not middle click ?
[09:18] <Opinie> HappyFool: I think it actually worked O_o
[09:18] <HappyFool> Opinie: do you know how http_proxy got set?
[09:18] <Opinie> HappyFool: What was the problem?
[09:19] <Opinie> HappyFool: Eeh? No I don't think so?
[09:19] <abejoklisss> insomnd: Interface doesn't support scanning.
[09:19] <musculitz> may sound stupid.. but I want to congratulate ubuntu support team for the job on the forums!
[09:19] <HappyFool> Opinie: the http_proxy shell variable was set, and apt-get was trying to look for a proxy at 'http://localhost' (but returning a rather poor error message)
[09:19] <HappyFool> Opinie: did you set this computer up?
[09:19] <insomnd> abejoklisss, try "iwlist scanning <interface name, e.g. wlan0>
[09:19] <Opinie> no...
[09:19] <HappyFool> Opinie: ah-ha
[09:20] <insomnd> abejoklisss, if this doesnt work then nothing will :P
[09:20] <HappyFool> Opinie: well, get whoever did set it up to correct the http_proxy variable, and setup a hostname ;)
[09:20] <_jason> yggdrasil, I said something that came to me after we spoke me but I don't know if you got it.  Try adding something like: Option          "Buttons"               "5", to your xorg and restarting.
[09:20] <Opinie> HappyFool: I gave that job for my bro. who seems to have done something wrong =/
[09:20] <ZarathustraDK> Could anyone help me? I got Tvtime showing perfect video, but the sound is missing. I tried unmuting all existing channels, didn't work. My tvcard doesn't have a sound out line s I can't connect it to the soundcards line in. Last I tried using "sox -r 32000 -w -t ossdsp /dev/dsp2 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp" but I don't have a dsp2-device. Any way to circumvent this? I need sound! :)
[09:20] <yggdrasil> jason nah
[09:20] <HappyFool> Opinie: just run 'unset http_proxy' before 'apt-get update' and so on until it gets fixed
[09:21] <Opinie> ok...
[09:21] <yggdrasil> i tried to edit a few of the x files xinit
[09:21] <yggdrasil> and um
[09:21] <gerwhite> hi
[09:21] <Opinie> so its gonna try to do the same thing every time I do that until it gets fixed?
[09:21] <Kovecses> hello
[09:21] <ficusplanet> Hey everyone.  I'm having audio troubles with a new ubuntu setup.  I've got a device detected, volume up, and totem is playing a file, but no sound is coming out of the speakers.  Any ideas?
[09:21] <HappyFool> Opinie: well, every time you start a new shell (new gnome-terminal)
[09:21] <Opinie> ok...
[09:21] <Kovecses> ficusplanet, is totem the only thing you have tried?
[09:22] <HappyFool> Opinie: it's probably set in a file called $HOME/.bashrc or $HOME/.bash_profile -- you can edit those (using gedit) to remove the variable
[09:22] <ficusplanet> No, the bongo beat at the login screen, and also gstreamer based apps like rhythmbox and banshee don't work (totem is xine).
[09:22] <HappyFool> Opinie: the statement setting the variable will look like   'http_proxy=http://localhost:'    or similar
[09:22] <Kovecses> ficusplanet, what card you got?
[09:22] <HappyFool> Opinie: there'll be an 'export http_proxy' somewhere too
[09:23] <yggdrasil> Jason_ ??
[09:23] <Opinie> ok...
[09:23] <ficusplanet> On-board AC97 codec, nforce2 motherboard.
[09:23] <_jason> yggdrasil, I don't understand what you said
[09:23] <ZarathustraDK> ficusplanet, try switching to alsa if you're on OSS now
[09:23] <yggdrasil> hang on dood im kind scattered
[09:23] <brasko> How long do you think it will be before ubuntu get's readline-5.1-dev package?
[09:23] <Xoritor> hello one and all... again with some questions before taking the plunge into ubuntu land
[09:23] <brasko> Could I ping the maintainer to do this?
[09:23] <Opinie> HappyFool: Ok thanks for your help... I'm gonna start coming here regularly from now on I might actually learn something if I'll just keep hanging out here
[09:23] <ficusplanet> ZarathustraDK, Do you mean in gstreamer-properties?
[09:24] <Xoritor> how well does the x86_64 version work?
[09:24] <eugman> hey is there any good mysql manager besides phpMyadmin? I need something to change users and make databases on my computer
[09:24] <Xoritor> and are there any issues with mixing 32 and 64 bit binaries?
[09:24] <_jason> brasko, have you checked if it is in dapper, backports may be willing to backport it
[09:24] <Kovecses> ficusplanet, download alsa-utils from the alsa website... unpack into your home directory then ... /home/you/alsa-utils/alsaconf/alsaconf.in
[09:24] <HappyFool> Opinie: i recommend help.ubuntu.com and wiki.ubuntu.com for learning ubuntu. also check out www.tldp.org
[09:24] <Xoritor> i am thinking of running a few 32 bit things on a "mainly" 64 bit os
[09:24] <Opinie> ok thanks for that too ;-)
[09:24] <brasko> no, I don't even know what dapper is. I'll research.

[09:26] <yggdrasil> wheel
[09:26] <ZarathustraDK> ficusplanet, yep that one
[09:26] <HappyFool> Kovecses: a cool 3-D modelling application
[09:26] <Kovecses> HappyFool, ahh

[09:35] <HappyFool> Adsum: i think there's a ~/.gnomerc or similarly named file if you need the PATH set for gnome

[09:40] <Jan_Goofy> Kovecses: there is no such ting as "Smp Kernel" ?
[09:41] <crimsun> Jan_Goofy: install linux-686-smp
[09:41] <robotgeek> ethan_: you can open it in a terminal, say less /var/log/kern.log
[09:41] <steve_> Kovecses - yes, and it wont do it
[09:41] <crimsun> Jan_Goofy: presuming of course that your cpus are 686 or higher
[09:41] <Kovecses> Jan_Goofy, search for linux-image

[09:44] <crimsun> concept10: "original file" referring to what?

[09:44] <Jan_Goofy> Kovecses: can not install any 686 on a 386 I asume? nothing there with xxx-smp

[09:45] <ubotu> hmm... smp is Symmetric Multi Processing. The x86 architecture way of using multiple CPUs in one computer.
[09:45] <ethan_> robotgeek, but this is really annoying.  It powers off multiple times during the day.
[09:45] <crimsun> concept10: it exists in the usplash package and is an indirect symlink to /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-default.so
[09:45] <concept10> crimsun, I see the kubuntu, edubuntu and xubuntu but not the original package
[09:45] <LinuxMonk> is there a known issue about installing on a dell? cause for the love of me its not working
[09:45] <ethan_> robotgeek, it's an ibook g3 500 mhz
[09:45] <deefzi> Wibble-, ty.
[09:46] <_jason> concept10, try sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so
[09:46] <Kovecses> Jan_Goofy, if its a 686 processer you can use it
[09:46] <robotgeek> ethan_: i have something very similiar, a powerbook 500 mhz. never had an issue
[09:46] <HappyFool> Jan_Goofy: there's only linux-686-smp and linux-k7-smp (for i386 class hardware); try linux-686-smp and see what happens
[09:46] <yggdrasil> _jason still the same crap ... xorg.conf/ .xession .xinitrc /Xmodmap all added pointer opions for 5
[09:46] <yggdrasil> :(
[09:46] <yggdrasil> ill bbl
[09:46] <_jason> yggdrasil, k idk then, I was just kind of guessing
[09:46] <robotgeek> ethan_: maybe a hardware problem?
[09:46] <ethan_> robotgeek, weird.  I saw a forum post where somebody elses iBook was randomly shutting off.
[09:46] <deefzi> Wibble-, do i need the whole openmotif, or is there some libraries that could be downloaded through apt?
[09:46] <concept10> _jason, thanks, that did it
[09:46] <Jan_Goofy> Kovecses: no images or anything at all in symaptic with "SMP" in it.
[09:46] <ethan_> robotgeek, if I leave the computer idle, it will never shut off.
[09:46] <concept10> crimsun, thanks, also
[09:47] <Kovecses> Jan_Goofy, yes there are
[09:47] <Stork> what are the advantages of kde over gnome, or the other way round? can anyone summarize for me 'kde vs. gnome' ?
[09:47] <Stanton5331> how do i play wma files thru rythmixer? sudo apt-get install  gstreamer0.8-plugins  gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse  gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg
[09:47] <Stanton5331>  doesnt work
[09:47] <ethan_> robotgeek, only when I'm doing something that is very low intensive wise.
[09:47] <zuverink> On my other machine I attempted to install kde, and it was all muddled, lacked any organization, is there a way to get kde in the kubunu style as represented in kubuntu, yet not install kubuntu, just like install a specific package which will install kde?
[09:47] <Kovecses> !find linux-image-686-smp
[09:47] <ubotu> Ubuntu Package Listing of 'linux-image-686-smp' (2 shown): linux-image-686-smp ;; linux-image-686-smp.
[09:47] <_jason> concept10, you aren't done, then: sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r`
[09:47] <robotgeek> ethan_: so, if cpu goes to a 100%, it shuts off?
[09:47] <Kovecses> see its in there
[09:47] <LordCrusader> how do i do an advanced installation on a application?
[09:47] <ethan_> robotgeek, but on every poweroff.  It breaks something
[09:47] <Wibble-> deejoe: thats a very good question - I had never realised that openmotif wasn't in apt!
[09:47] <concept10> Stork,summary, kde, lots of options, gnome, simple but nice
[09:47] <ethan_> robotgeek, no, it will never shut off if I'm doing something like that
[09:47] <skbera>  I have a strange problem. My display is suddenly chaged to 640*480 when i restarted my PC. the display properties dialog box also showing just one resolution setting(640*480). How can I change this back to 1024*768. Please anyone help...
[09:47] <Jan_Goofy> Kovecses: search in my ubuntu cant find any... strange..
[09:47] <ethan_> robotgeek, ONLY something low intensive, like chatting.
[09:48] <mrstocks> hiya
[09:48] <ethan_> robotgeek, it will be fine if I'm doing something intensive though
[09:48] <concept10> _jason, what is that one for?
[09:48] <mrstocks> Can i ask a starnge question, maybe it would  help a ubuntu user
[09:48] <Kovecses> Jan_Goofy, did you just see me print it out for you... search for linux-image in synaptic
[09:48] <Wibble-> deejoe: looks like "lesstif" should be good enough?
[09:48] <mrstocks> its not about linux, but common knowledge
[09:48] <coreid> hi folks, I am running ubuntu hoary and my gnome cdplayer app doesn't work, it starts, gets info from CDDB, and appears to play, but no sound comes. I can play CDs, mp3s etc from other apps, so sound configuration is not an issue, anyone know why?
[09:48] <robotgeek> ethan_: i dunno if you can turn off cpu stepping or something, i am just guessing here
[09:48] <deefzi> Wibble-, wow. i stumbled upon the same page i was twenty minutes ago. boy how retarded is that you have to fill out some forms to have packages.
[09:48] <HappyFool> Jan_Goofy: you probably need to setup network repositories
[09:48] <robotgeek> skbera, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:48] <_jason> concept10, I don't think it will update it until you do that
[09:48] <halibut> is linux fine with sata?
[09:49] <halibut> (Harddrives)
[09:49] <deefzi> Wibble-, btw. deejoe would prolly appreciate if he wouldn't be bothered :D
[09:49] <Kovecses> HappyFool, its not in the default repos?
[09:49] <Xoritor> halibut, i run sata drives in lots of machines... yes
[09:49] <concept10> _jason, where are you getting this info
[09:49] <mrstocks> i cut my finger really badly and i wanted to know if someone could check out the pic and tell if he would go to hospital or not, or mybe just ignore it or me..
[09:49] <ethan_> robotgeek, i did turn off stepping.
[09:49] <Kovecses> im using sata no prob
[09:49] <Stanton5331> !wma
[09:49] <HappyFool> Kovecses: it's in main, i think, but i'm guessing he doesn't have that setup
[09:49] <ubotu> somebody said restricted was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed here have been replaced by !FreeFormats
[09:49] <Wibble-> deefzi: oopsie :D
[09:49] <robotgeek> ethan_: hmm, i'm all out of idea here, sorry
[09:49] <_jason> concept10, my head, I did this a few days ago.  Search the forums, there are some posts about it there
[09:49] <Kovecses> HappyFool, isnt that set up by default
[09:50] <concept10> _jason, ok
[09:50] <Stanton5331> yea yea yea, but it dont work silly bot
[09:50] <Jan_Goofy> a refresh/update of the programs list helped. tanx
[09:50] <robotgeek> ethan_: maybe try it with yellowdog or something, a different distro
[09:50] <robotgeek> ethan_: or dapper :)
[09:50] <ethan_> robotgeek, stepping in ubuntu is horrible.
[09:50] <ethan_> robotgeek, I would never use yellowdog.  rpm's are the worst thing ever.
[09:50] <Kovecses> yellowdog ... lol are you serious
[09:50] <Wibble-> deefzi: can ya let me know if it works please
[09:51] <robotgeek> ethan_,Kovecses : just for debugging
[09:51] <ethan_> robotgeek, ; p
[09:51] <HappyFool> Kovecses: not quite sure. i think so.
[09:51] <ethan_> robotgeek, well I have dial up
[09:51] <ethan_> here
[09:51] <Kovecses> stepping?
[09:51] <deefzi> Wibble-, yes. i'm still looking for a place to download the openmotif
[09:51] <ethan_> robotgeek, every time it powers off, something else gets broken.
[09:51] <robotgeek> ethan_: hmm, we do have an issue then.
[09:51] <ethan_> robotgeek, X gets broken...
[09:51] <deefzi> Wibble-, or even better: find some useful packages from apt
[09:51] <Wibble-> deefzi: I mean try lesstif2 from apt - I know openmotif would work
[09:51] <ethan_> robotgeek, I can only start with startx.  and that makes things go so slow
[09:52] <Kovecses> theres always gentoo
[09:52] <Wibble-> lesstif2 is an implementation of motif which is in apt
[09:52] <ethan_> robotgeek, like the menu in oo.o takes 9 minutes to load
[09:52] <ethan_> lol
[09:52] <mkyb14> if the terminal says i'm root, and i execute the command and it still says permission denied... how is that so?
[09:52] <deefzi> Wibble-, this is like the retardest thing ever; you have register / fill license / whatever to get a piece of that software
[09:52] <robotgeek> ethan_: i have no clue as to what is broken, but i suspect it's either a kernel thing/hardware thing
[09:52] <Kovecses> mkyb14, what command
[09:52] <mkyb14> ./ati-driver-installer-8.20.8-i386.run
[09:52] <deefzi> Wibble-, oh. great. i typed lesstiff in apt-cache and got nothing. wonder why :)
[09:52] <ozzloy> can i upgrade from 5.4 to 5.10 by changing /etc/apt/sources.list and then doing apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[09:52] <ethan_> robotgeek, I had to reinstall the kernel, it broke that too when I did a "dist-upgrade"
[09:52] <ethan_> I couldn't boot for weeks
[09:52] <_jason> ubotu, tell ozzloy about breezy
[09:52] <Kovecses> mkyb14, you need to make it executable
[09:53] <LinuxMonk> anyone have any ideas why the install or ubuntu or even kubuntu for that matter fails on my dell dimension 5150 ..it checks the cd rom then says failed to load installation blah blah blah
[09:53] <Kovecses> mkyb14, but don tinstall ati that way
[09:53] <deefzi> Wibble-, my apt doesn't find it.
[09:53] <Wibble-> deefzi: oh - well, if its not in there, it might be in one of the extra sources I've got lol
[09:53] <deefzi> Wibble-, it gives only libxt6 which i already have.
[09:53] <_jason> LinuxMonk, have you checked the integrity of your iso?
[09:53] <mkyb14> well the other way thro synaptic installed the mesa drivers and well they suck
[09:53] <deefzi> Wibble-, might be. i have extra resources for some other packages too. can you give me urls?
[09:53] <Kovecses> mkyb14, apt-get install xorg-drivers-fglrx
[09:54] <Mabus> LinuxMonk, did you verify the md5 for the iso you used? And did you burn the cd at a slow (lower than 8 if possible) speed?
[09:54] <Stanton5331> i couldnt find the ati drivers thru synaptic
[09:54] <Kovecses> !fglrx
[09:54] <ubotu> I guess fglrx is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:54] <ozzloy> _jason: thanx
[09:54] <LinuxMonk> _jason yes the cd was used to install on another box, and its a pressed cd anyways, i got tons of em here,
[09:54] <Mabus> Stanton5331, what kind of card
[09:54] <skbera> robotgeek: Thankyou very much. I am looking for this command.
[09:54] <Kovecses> follow that link
[09:54] <Kovecses> ^^^^^^
[09:54] <mkyb14> kovecses will that be the ati drivers for my 9800?  i'd like to do 3d
[09:54] <ethan_> robotgeek, Is it possible to change bitdepths while in X?
[09:54] <Mabus> mkyb14 yes
[09:55] <Kovecses> mkyb14, that will give you 3d ... but follow the link
[09:55] <ethan_> robotgeek, or do I have to restart EVERY time I want to change bitdepths?
[09:55] <robotgeek> ethan_: you would have to restart X, i guess. but it's possible
[09:55] <LinuxMonk> Mabus theres nothing wrong with the cd, its been checked and rechecked and been used to install on another system of mine
[09:55] <ethan_> robotgeek, I just hate waiting like 3 minutes every time i want to change depths...
[09:55] <robotgeek> ethan_: i have it set to 16, and it stays put
[09:55] <deefzi> moral question: will i be committing sin, and be punished, if i put a mac-linux emergion wallpaper on my background? it's so pretty. i have pc, not the when-everything-works-mac
[09:55] <ethan_> robotgeek, ok, but how can you stand looking at images in 16 bits?
[09:55] <Kovecses> ethan_, why keep changing depths
[09:55] <mkyb14> says it can't find it
[09:55] <Wibble-_> deefzi: I think it might be in universe, which isn't in the standard package list...
[09:56] <robotgeek> ethan_: it aint that bad, really
[09:56] <ethan_> robotgeek, the difference between 24 16 bit mode is horrendous Kovecses
[09:56] <mkyb14> apt link of the uboto link
[09:56] <Wibble-_> dunno how to check though
[09:56] <Mabus> LinuxMonk, try burning it again at 4x and go for it. When booting from CDs, it seems to be picky. My CD that I installed Ubuntu on one day didn't work the next. If you can afford the dollar for the wasted CD, just try it.
[09:56] <Kovecses> ethan_, well yeah
[09:56] <ethan_> Kovecses, like a gradient, has only 2 colors.. when it should have thousands and thousands...
[09:56] <Kovecses> ethan_, well yeah
[09:56] <ethan_> I can't handle that
[09:56] <deefzi> Wibble-_, you have a lot of extra resources in your sources.list?
[09:56] <Kovecses> ethan_, so why change back and fourth then
[09:56] <ethan_> but 16 bit is the only way to have direct 3d rendering Kovecses
[09:56] <robotgeek> ethan_: i dunno, i tht i had it at 16 bit
[09:56] <Wibble-_> deefzi: I've got universe and multiverse which aren't standard
[09:57] <Kovecses> ethan_, i have 3d in 24 bit
[09:57] <LinuxMonk> mabus ive burnt it at 2x lol but that was after the pressed cs i got from ubuntu gave me the same error
[09:57] <LinuxMonk> cd8
[09:57] <Wibble-_> deefzi: but only the offical ubuntu source
[09:57] <ethan_> Kovecses, robotgeek like if I render something in blender.  I have to go into 24 bit mode just to see what it looks like.  Because it looks so bad in 16 bit mode
[09:57] <deefzi> Wibble-_, i didn't understand, but the what the heck :p
[09:57] <ethan_> Kovecses, of course, but my graphics card is like 8 years old.
[09:57] <Mabus> Has anyone seen demos for the new physics cards they're coming out with next year? :|
[09:57] <Kovecses> ethan_, ahh
[09:58] <Kovecses> ethan_, yeah i think your stuck
[09:58] <Wibble-_> deefzi: There are 4 different categories of packages... main, security, universe and multiverse (I think).  Main is what is "in the official release", universe is "everything from debian re-compiled for ubuntu" and multiverse is "everything with a non-free license"
[09:59] <ethan_> Kovecses, this is of course not my main computer though ;p
[09:59] <robotgeek> ethan_: sorry mate, i have no clue as to what is wrong/apply changes to  X without restarting X
[09:59] <ethan_> Kovecses, I have a SWEET ubuntu computer at my dad's, but this is all I have at my moms.  a ibook 500....
[09:59] <ethan_> an
[09:59] <ethan_> what is the logout command robotgeek for X?
[09:59] <Seveas> ethan_, system -> logout
[10:00] <deefzi> Wibble-_, ok. i come from debian background so i'm not very familiar yet
[10:00] <ethan_> or should I just send a kill signal to the startx command robotgeek ?
[10:00] <mkyb14> E: Couldn't find package xorg-drivers-fglrx
[10:00] <ethan_> Seveas, I don't have a "System" menu
[10:00] <Seveas> ethan_, "kill -9 -1" also works :)
[10:00] <mkyb14> ?
[10:00] <Wibble-_> deefzi: in your sources list, after the URL, it has the categories you will get packages from - My bet is that lesstif2 is in universe, but you don't have universe as one of your sources
[10:00] <Wibble-_> deefzi: oh - universe is like testing
[10:00] <ethan_> Seveas, ok, because I don't have a panel. = p
[10:00] <HappyFool> Wibble-_: close. the 4 categories are main, restricted, universe and multiverse. main and restricted are supported, with free/non-free licenses. universe/multiverse are free/non-free and unsupported
[10:00] <Kovecses> !fglrx
[10:00] <Seveas> ethan_, WARNING
[10:00] <ubotu> rumour has it, fglrx is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:00] <Kovecses> mkyb14, follow the link
[10:00] <ethan_> Seveas, warning what?
[10:00] <Seveas> kill -9 -1 kills all your processes instantaneously
[10:00] <deefzi> Wibble-_, ye i figured :I
[10:00] <ethan_> Seveas, good.
[10:00] <Kovecses> for the love of god
[10:00] <ethan_> Seveas, just X though right?
[10:01] <Wibble-_> thanks HappyFool
[10:01] <Seveas> no, everything started by you
[10:01] <deefzi> Wibble-_, the exact package-name was "lesstif2", right?
[10:01] <Seveas> so if you run that as root, your system will come to a grinding halt
[10:01] <deefzi> i'll go hunting.
[10:01] <Wibble-_> deefzi: thats right, yes
[10:01] <Marlun> If I'm not going to use Evolution, do I need "evolution-data-server" installed on my system?
[10:01] <Kovecses> Marlun, no
[10:01] <Wibble-_> deefzi: there is also a lesstif1 - see if thats in main
[10:01] <mwill> Quick question. How would I go about getting out of the GUI (gnome) without rebooting? I
[10:01] <Wibble-_> deefzi: less likely to work, but if its in main, worth a shot
[10:01] <Marlun> Kovecses: ok thanks, will remove it with synaptic.
[10:02] <mwill> Quick question. How would I go about getting out of the GUI (gnome) without rebooting? I'm going to be leaving my laptop on for a while and would rather it run in text-only mode.
[10:02] <Wibble-_> mwill: alt+ctrl+F1 to swap to a terminal; then alt+ctrl+F7 to swtich back to gnome
[10:02] <Kovecses> its funny how apt-get is like a lost artform for people
[10:02] <omerix> how can i install *.patch files?
[10:03] <PuMpErNiCkLe> mwill: ctrl + alt + F2
[10:03] <Kovecses> well coming from debian im just so used to using apt i guess
[10:03] <midwinter> its funny how people don't use aptitude instead :|
[10:03] <Marlun> Kovecses: When I click remove, it tells me that it will also remove gnome-applets, gnome-panel, nautilus, etc, seems like I need to keep it after all?
[10:03] <PuMpErNiCkLe> mwill: What Wibble-_ said, actually. :D
[10:03] <deefzi> Wibble-_, i found a thread on opera-forum with a guy struggling on the same problems. maybe i'll get my revenge(?!) here.
[10:04] <Wibble-_> hehe
[10:04] <Kovecses> Marlun, wow... ok i guess dont remove it lol
[10:04] <blanky> !recover
[10:04] <ubotu> from memory, recover is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[10:04] <Marlun> Kovecses: =P
[10:04] <TheHobbit> hi all
[10:05] <neuro|wanadoo> evening all
[10:05] <Kovecses> brb
[10:05] <Wibble-_> omerix: .patch files are only for the sources; so you have to compile from source (and often apply the patch with patch -p 1 < <filename>
[10:05] <robotgeek> Kovecses: apt-get remove `deborphan` works fine :)
[10:05] <Kovecses> neuro|laptop, where you from?
[10:05] <neuro|wanadoo> anyone know an easy way to make gaim (or indeed any other app) remember its window position between login sessions on breezy?
[10:05] <neuro|wanadoo> Kovecses, scotland
[10:05] <Kovecses> robotgeek, huh
[10:05] <Kovecses> neuro|laptop, sweet
[10:06] <Steve^> Has anyone else had trouble installing the java sdk?
[10:06] <Kovecses> anyway brb..... gotta hook up my new router
[10:06] <PuMpErNiCkLe> neuro|wanadoo: When you go to logout, check the 'save session' box.
[10:06] <robotgeek> Kovecses: oh, my bad. the aptitude discussion
[10:06] <neuro|wanadoo> PuMpErNiCkLe, hokay, thought that might be it
[10:06] <Kovecses> Steve^, use java-package to install it
[10:06] <TheHobbit> I have a little question, I'd like to remove windows from my laptop, i.e. I'd like to format /dev/hda1 as a ext3 partition. Wouldn't that remove the bootsector? and if yes, how could I reinstall the bootsector afterwards?
[10:06] <neuro|wanadoo> no other way?
[10:06] <Marlun> Whats the best way of installing Firefox 1.5?
[10:06] <Marlun> The wiki way?
[10:06] <mkyb14> are the mesa drivers not the ati ones? becuase i followed the directions for breezy and everything went correctly as far as i know
[10:07] <robotgeek> Marlun: yes
[10:07] <neuro|wanadoo> ah, never mind; someone irl just reminded me of the right way to use save session ;)
[10:07] <neuro|wanadoo> cheers all
[10:07] <Kovecses> mkyb14, mesa is not ati
[10:07] <PuMpErNiCkLe> TheHobbit: Ubuntu will create a MBR with Grub when you install... it shouldn't be a problem.
[10:07] <mkyb14> then what happened... i did what the page said
[10:07] <Marlun> robotgeek: ok
[10:07] <mkyb14> no errors
[10:07] <Kovecses> mkyb14, did you edit xorg.conf
[10:07] <mkyb14> yea
[10:07] <Kovecses> mkyb14, and restart x
[10:07] <mkyb14> fglx
[10:08] <TheHobbit> PuMpErNiCkLe:  I already have ubuntu installed, I'd rather try to avoid reinstall:)
[10:08] <Kovecses> mkyb14, fglrx
[10:08] <Kovecses> mkyb14, not fglx
[10:08] <Wibble-_> TheHobbit: there are two boot sectors; one on the MBR which would not be touched by a format.  Windows' MBR simply points to the first 512 bytes of the harddisk which is "active".  So you can change which one is "active" or re-install grub's MBR (very simple)
[10:08] <Wibble-_> or, if your already using grub's MBR, then there is no problem.
[10:08] <Eleaf> Seveas,
[10:08] <Eleaf> ..
[10:08] <Eleaf> lol
[10:08] <Eleaf> Seveas, that froze my computer! ; p
[10:08] <Eleaf> llol
[10:09] <Steve^> Kovecses, getting the same weird errors about java documentation
[10:09] <TheHobbit> Wibble-_:  active disk means the one selected as bootable?
[10:09] <Wibble-_> yes
[10:09] <Steve^> I don't really give a damn about the docs anyway, I'd get them offline
[10:09] <Kovecses> Steve^, with java-package?
[10:09] <Steve^> I don't understand the error
[10:09] <Steve^> Yea
[10:09] <Seveas> Eleaf, I warned you..
[10:09] <Kovecses> Steve^, paste it somewhere
[10:09] <TheHobbit> and how do I reinstall the MBR? that's my basic question I guess
[10:09] <Steve^> The other things are probably semi-installed still
[10:09] <Eleaf> lol
[10:09] <PuMpErNiCkLe> TheHobbit: Sorry, I misinterpreted your situation.  Anyway, as I recall, the MBR is handled as a separate partition, so formatting /dev/hda1 won't touch it.
[10:09] <Eleaf> Seveas, I thought you said it would log me out.  not freeze me forcing me to reboot
[10:09] <Kovecses> TheHobbit, grub-install
[10:10] <Seveas> kill -9 -1 kills all your processes instantaneously
[10:10] <Wibble-_> TheHobbit: what do you see when you boot currently? is it grub, or does it boot windows straight away or what?
[10:10] <Seveas> no, everything started by you
[10:10] <Seveas> so if you run that as root, your system will come to a grinding halt
[10:10] <Kovecses> Eleaf, thats not what he said
[10:10] <amb> Should I be able to play realaudio streams using mplayer from the command line using "mplayer <URL>"? I'm trying to figure out why I can't play them from within firefox
[10:10] <TheHobbit> Kovecses:  cool
[10:10] <Seveas> that's what I said
[10:10] <TheHobbit> no, it'sg grub of course Wibble-_
[10:10] <Steve^> Kovecses, http://pastebin.com/505841
[10:10] <Eleaf> Seveas, lol
[10:10] <Kovecses> Seveas, i dont think you told him it would freeze his machine : )
[10:10] <Eleaf> Seveas, you evil little hobbit
[10:10] <Wibble-_> TheHobbit: then just reformat, and you don't need to do a thing
[10:10] <Eleaf> Seveas, just kidding.  I'm eating rasberries
 so if you run that as root, your system will come to a grinding halt <-- Kovecses
[10:11] <Eleaf> Seveas, I did that command before you said that
[10:11] <Eleaf> lol
[10:11] <Kovecses> Seveas, oh lol sorry.... i misunderstood
[10:11] <Seveas> hehe
[10:11] <Wibble-_> TheHobbit: since grub is booting from the ubuntu partition already, it won't be affected by doing whatever you like with /dev/hda1
[10:11] <TheHobbit> Wibble-_:  cool, so I guess the m$ thing has only some minutes left on my HD...:)
[10:11] <Eleaf> Seveas, you werent fast enough  = p
[10:11] <Seveas> Eleaf, too bad :)
[10:11] <Wibble-_> yay ;)
[10:11] <TheHobbit> switching to single user now...
[10:12] <Kovecses> Steve^, you got the wrong java file
[10:12] <Kovecses> Steve^, you want the linux one..... lol
[10:12] <Eleaf> Seveas, parsnips!
[10:12] <Steve^> Kovecses, I'm just selecting the standard sdk from the package manager...
[10:12] <Eleaf> Seveas, do you know python?
[10:12] <Wibble-_> uhhhh to single user? *blink* why would he need to do that?  Ah well... lol
[10:12] <gpled> from command line, how do i tell my wireless card to use dhcp?
[10:12] <gpled> pcmcia wireless card
[10:12] <Kovecses> Steve^, from synaptic?
[10:12] <robotgeek> gpled: sudo dhclient wlan0
[10:12] <Steve^> yea
[10:12] <Wibble-_> I do hope he didn't have ubuntu on /dev/hda1 too :D
[10:13] <Kovecses> Steve^, did you add a weird repo
[10:13] <Steve^> I added some universe etc stuff that a guide told me.. nothing else
[10:13] <Steve^> think it was the ubuntu.com support guide
[10:13] <gpled> robotgeek: thanks
[10:14] <robotgeek> gpled, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WiFiHowto
[10:14] <mkyb14> no its still mesa
[10:14] <Marlun> What does the ubuntu logo mean in synaptic? Some of the packages has the ubuntu logo in one column.
[10:14] <mkyb14> drivers
[10:14] <robotgeek> Marlun: they are in main
[10:14] <robotgeek> i think :)
[10:14] <HappyFool> Marlun: i think Help -> Legend explains
[10:14] <HiTiT> hello guys, I have a problem in synaptic, whe I install: fiaif, it writes me: ' E: fiaif: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 ' what should I do?
[10:14] <Kovecses> mkyb14, oh ... did you install your kernel-headers and restricted modules
[10:15] <amb> Any chance someone with a working mplayer could try one of the realaudio test samples: mplayer http://service.real.com/learnnav/testrams/b256realaudio8.ram
[10:15] <Marlun> robotgeek, HappyFool: ok, thanks
[10:15] <mkyb14> dunno how or if i did that already
[10:15] <Kovecses> amb, works great for me in totem
[10:16] <dibblego> hello, please excuse my ignorance - I have just mounted my NTFS partition using mount -t ntfs, however, when I attempt to cd to the mount, I have permission denied - what am I missing?
[10:16] <HiTiT> hello guys, I have a problem in synaptic, when I install: fiaif, or any other program like KDE// it writes me: ' E: fiaif: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 ' what should I do?
[10:16] <Kovecses> brb
[10:16] <Kovecses> mkyb14, brb
[10:16] <Wibble-_> dibblego: do you get that error as root? or as the user?
[10:16] <HappyFool> dibblego: add '-o umask=000' to the mount command options
[10:16] <Steve^> argh
[10:16] <HappyFool> !ntfs
[10:16] <amb> Kovecses: I'm trying to get www.bbc.co.uk liveaudio working. You don't happen to know whether that works for you in totem do you?
[10:16] <ubotu> [ntfs]  the filesystem used in Windows 2000 and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions, or writing to ntfs is risky and only experimental. Reading is OK
[10:16] <dibblego> Wibble-_, as the user I created at install - as far as I understand it, you cannot become root without hacking - I read something on the wiki about it
[10:16] <HiTiT> anyone about my problem
[10:17] <HiTiT> ?
[10:17] <dibblego> HappyFool, ok, I'll give it a burl, thanks
[10:17] <Steve^> If Linux refuses to work reasonably, I'll just go do my work in windows...
[10:17] <mkyb14> ok i have the binary mainrestriced universe multiverse installed under synaptic
[10:17] <sedat> hi all
[10:17] <_jason> amb, works for me, try this: mplayer -cache 50 -playlist http://service.real.com/learnnav/testrams/b256realaudio8.ram
[10:18] <amb> Kovecses: totem doesn't recognize a .ram for me - any idea what I'm doing wrong (yes, I installed real player!)
[10:18] <sedat> how can I reload inetd.conf
[10:18] <dibblego> HappyFool, that worked, thanks for that
[10:18] <sedat> how can I reload inetd.conf without rebooting
[10:19] <amb> _jason: Cannot find codec for audio format 0x6B6F6F63
[10:19] <HappyFool> sedat: at a guess, 'sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd restart'
[10:19] <_jason> amb, you have w32codecs?
[10:19] <dibblego> one moer noob thing - which file do I play with to have the NTFS partitions mounted during boot?
[10:19] <dibblego> man mount
[10:19] <dibblego> oops
[10:19] <Wibble-_> dibblego: /etc/fstab
[10:19] <Eleaf> man mount
[10:19] <amb> _jason: I am guessing not as synaptic can't even find it - where do I get it
[10:20] <dibblego> Wibble-_, thanks
[10:20] <_jason> ubotu, tell amb about w32codecs
[10:20] <dibblego> Eleaf, sounds bad hey? :)
[10:20] <HiTiT> hello guys, I have a problem in synaptic, whe I install: fiaif, it writes me: ' E: fiaif: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 ' what should I do?
[10:20] <sedat> HappyFool, I have not xinetd but inetd.conf int /etc
[10:20] <dTk> hello. pls somebody help me. what options should i write to /etc/fstab if i want to mount a reiserfs partition and it has to be writable by me (as a regular user)
[10:20] <avar> oi, anyone here running xorg-x11 7.0?
[10:21] <Wibble-_> HiTiT: that is an error with the package somewhere.  the rest of the error might tell you what to do, that that line is useless.  Use pastebin (see topic)
[10:21] <HappyFool> sedat: do you have a file /etc/init.d/inetd or /etc/init.d/xinetd ?
[10:21] <avar> I want to find out if ubuntu ships xkbconfig instead of the normal xkbdata
[10:21] <amb> _jason: that looks like the problem - I'll try that - thanks
[10:21] <Wibble-_> dTk: man mount - it tells you in there
[10:21] <HiTiT> Wibble-_: even foe Kde it makes me this error
[10:21] <dTk> ok. thx Wibble
[10:22] <matthewjames> hey, if before parting, can i just exit the installer, and go back to windows?
[10:22] <sedat> HappyFool, I have /etc/inetd.conf
[10:22] <Wibble-_> HiTiT: that error says "there has been an error".  It is the bit before that that tells you the useful things.
[10:22] <sedat> HappyFool, I dont have neither
[10:22] <matthewjames> hey, if before partitiang, can i just exit the installer, and go back to windows?
[10:23] <HiTiT> Wibble-_:\ how can I copy what written in the Terminal? Ctrl+c doesnt work there
[10:23] <brasko> how do I set my default editor to vim?
[10:23] <avar> so.. anyone running xorg7.0 ?;)
[10:23] <Wibble-_> HiTiT: highlight it with the mouse, then use the middle mouse button to paste it into the web form at the pastebin
[10:24] <HappyFool> sedat: i think you need to have an inetd server (e.g., xinetd) installed to actually use that file
[10:24] <yggdrasil> !pastebin
[10:24] <ubotu> it has been said that 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.ubuntu-nl.org
[10:24] <vermoos> sarah: mplayer howto - http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/MultiGraphicBreezy
[10:24] <matthewjames> hey, if before partitiang, can i just exit the installer, and go back to windows?
[10:25] <Wibble-_> matthewjames: should be able to
[10:25] <matthewjames> should?
[10:25] <Stork> is there a performace difference between kde and gnome?
[10:25] <Poignant> it will warn you not to
[10:25] <HiTiT> Wibble-_: rhank you : here is the paste:http://rafb.net/paste/results/mFfx1Z19.html
[10:25] <brasko> anyone ever modify the default editor?
[10:25] <mjr> Stork, not a significant one really
[10:26] <matthewjames> Wibble: so what, just eject disc, and restart?
[10:26] <Stork> ok
[10:26] <yggdrasil> hello any intersted in giving me a hand with my dual monitor dual video card configuration ? paste bin is : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7139
[10:26] <Wibble-_> matthewjames: isn't there a menu option in the installer to exit it? if not, try alt+ctrl+del
[10:26] <mjr> HiTiT, shift-ctrl-c will work for copying; ctrl-c doesn't because it's needed by many terminal programs
[10:26] <matthewjames> k, ty
[10:27] <Xenguy> brasko: hi...
[10:27] <Wibble-_> HiTiT: that suggests something else is doing things with the config dat file; reboot the computer (or if you know what it might be, close that app - e.g. aptitude in a terminal?)
[10:27] <matthewjames> and, does kpart, put the partitians right up to my windows, or on other end of disc?
[10:27] <Xenguy> brasko: what output does this give: echo $EDITOR
[10:28] <brasko> Xenguy: I just set EDITOR=vim, and it works.
[10:28] <HiTiT> Wibble-_: Ive made End Session, doesnt it need to vlose everything??
[10:28] <brasko> Xenguy: but how do I do it without setting the env var?
[10:28] <matthewjames> Wibble: and, does kpart, put the partitians right up to my windows, or on other end of disc?
[10:28] <brasko> Is there a GUI app to set the default for the system? or maybe an /etc file?
[10:28] <HiTiT> Wibble-_: this what it writes is apt-get:   http://rafb.net/paste/results/wu4d9n50.html
[10:28] <HiTiT> is=in*
[10:29] <Xenguy> brasko: that's the way you do it, but to persist when you reboot you have to configure it in a file like /etc/profile (that is global, and makes it so for all users)
[10:29] <Wibble-_> HiTiT: there may be some applications which are not part of your X session
[10:29] <Stork> my sound quality just went really bad, i tried restarting and it's still the same. any ideas?
[10:29] <Wibble-_> matthewjames: pass
[10:29] <matthewjames> ?
[10:29] <Wibble-_> matthewjames: I'd expect it uses all free space, but I don't know for sure.
[10:29] <HiTiT> Wibble-_: ok SO ILL MAKE A RESTART AND ILL BE BACK
[10:29] <matthewjames> k
[10:29] <yggdrasil> hello any intersted in giving me a hand with my dual monitor dual video card configuration ? paste bin is : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7139
[10:29] <Stork> WHY IS IT THAT EVERY TIME I RESTART MY XSERVER SETTINGS CHANGE
[10:29] <Xenguy> brasko: or if you just want to configure it for yourself, then ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile (I forget which is best but can check if needed)
[10:30] <Wibble-_> HiTiT: type "which lsof" - if you have that, then try "lsof | grep /var/cache/debconf/config.dat"
[10:30] <ddfreyne> I installed Ubuntu, then installed Mac OS X, and now I can't boot into Ubuntu anymore. What''s wrong?
[10:30] <ddfreyne> can't boot = my mac simply boots into OS X
[10:30] <Xenguy> Stork: do not yell
[10:30] <HiTiT> Wibble-_: to type in the terminal: lsof | grep /var/cache/debconf/config.dat?
[10:30] <ddfreyne> (there's no OS selection screen)
[10:30] <Wibble-_> ddfreyne: the MBR has been over-written.  Re-install grub or lilo
[10:31] <Wibble-_> HiTiT: type: which lsof
[10:31] <Wibble-_> and if it gives a location, type that line
[10:31] <Stork> why is it that every time i restart my xserver settings change, and i get "segmentation fault" when trying to use 'glxgears'. it's the same every time i restart
[10:31] <HiTiT> /usr/sbin/lsof
[10:31] <Wibble-_> if it doesn't, just reboot
[10:31] <amb> Still trying to get mplayer/realaudio to work. I seem to be missing the codecs, but w32codecs does not seem to be available for AMD64. Anything I can do? All I want to do is listen to realaudio using Firefox.
[10:31] <HiTiT> Wibble-_: which lsof
[10:31] <Wibble-_> ok - type the line - that will tell you what is using it
[10:32] <Xenguy> brasko: do you still need help, or no?
[10:32] <HiTiT> Wibble-_: ? i didnt understand
[10:32] <_jason> amb, check if there is realplayer for 64bit
[10:32] <Wibble-_> HiTiT: type lsof | grep /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
[10:32] <TheHobbit> hi people... well, it worked like a charm:) no more evil windows on my laptop:) now, one last question: what's the parameter to pass to the kernel to have the system clock set to UTC?
[10:33] <HiTiT> Wibble-_: dpkg-reco 10487       root    4rW     REG       22,3   65055     608119 /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
[10:33] <amb> _jason: at real.com?
[10:34] <Wibble-_> HiTiT: oh - looks like something went wrong when it was trying to reconfigure some modules, and it left the process hanging.
[10:34] <ddfreyne> Wibble-_: what about yaboot?
[10:34] <HiTiT> Wibble-_: so i need to close th process?
[10:34] <Wibble-_> HiTiT: you could try killing it (kill 10487) - but I would recommend a reboot because I don't know what else is happening with it.
[10:35] <steven_> Hey
[10:35] <steven_> Whats going on?
[10:35] <^^z3r0c00l> nottin
[10:35] <steven_> ASL?
[10:35] <HiTiT> Wibble-_: OK thank you very much i will reboot it now
[10:35] <Wibble-_> ddfreyne: is that a boot manager? I've not heard of it.  I would suggest installing grub again.
[10:36] <dell500> anyone here know how to mount the ipod without being read only?
[10:36] <gillion> spike tv ...
[10:36] <ddfreyne> Wibble-_: yes, Linux PPC bootloader
[10:36] <gillion> ick
[10:36] <_jason> amb, you can try.  I don't see anything in the wiki about it
[10:36] <amb> _jason: it wants to give me an ".exe" file which I doubt will be much use :-)
[10:36] <Wibble-_> ddfreyne: then sure, use that - set it up to add another OS with your ubuntu drive + kernel info.  since I've never used yaboot, I can't help you.  Someone in an OSX channel may be of more use
[10:36] <yggdrasil> hello any intersted in giving me a hand with my dual monitor dual video card configuration ? paste bin is : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7139
[10:37] <_jason> amb, search ubuntuforums.org for what other users are doing

[10:37] <pigor> hello
[10:37] <blacks-> is there any way I can tell ubuntu's initrd to not touch my RAID devices?
[10:38] <pigor> i have tried to install ubuntu from a "mini.iso" but edubuntu appeared instead .. how can this happen?
[10:39] <vk> Hi everybody. anyone know in witch file i can add more screen res options?
[10:40] <blacks-> vk, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:40] <tkup> I have tried all keyboard combinations that I found in forums and elsewhere to get this iMac to boot from the ubuntu ppc cds. The only CD that's able to boot from is the osx one. I have tried burning different CDs myself, but none it worked. Is there a catch?
[10:40] <vk> tnx
[10:40] <yggdrasil> mabus ihave a S3 Inc. 86c325 [ViRGE]  and ATI Technologies, Inc. Mach64 VT (264 VT)
[10:40] <pigor> the mini.iso was here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
[10:40] <yggdrasil> the mach64 is the one that is onboard
[10:40] <amb> _jason: mainly installing in chroot environments, which is a pile of hassle if I just want it to work from my normal browser. I think I'm stuck because though mozplug starts up, it's failing (probably no codecs), and realplayer just isn't available. I even tried installing the .exe into IE in crossover office, but no joy...
[10:41] <CactusWiZaRd> how can i update Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 to 1.5 if i have no rights to write /opt, as Ubuntu-Wiki demands that the file has to be there?
[10:41] <_jason> amb, if I were you and really want the multimedia stuff I would just install the 386 version of ubuntu
[10:41] <blacks-> CactusWiZaRd, use sudo
[10:42] <pigor> another question: how can i switch from edubuntu to ubuntu?
[10:42] <vk> blacks, i have allready enabled 1024*768 in xorg.conf but i cant select it in screen res prefs. do you know how to chage the res?
[10:42] <Mabus> vk have you reloaded x since you changed xorg.conf
[10:43] <vk> Mabus, but ive allready had 1024*768 enabled
[10:43] <CactusWiZaRd> blacks- thnx
[10:43] <vk> but i can onlu select 648*480 in screen res prefs
[10:44] <Mabus> vk you have to restart x for the changes to take effect
[10:44] <Mabus> press ctrl + alt + backspace
[10:44] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vk: If you've restarted x since you reconfigured, and you still get the same resolutions offered, you'll have to change the HorizSync and VertRefresh values in teh xorg.conf file.
[10:45] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vk: It will only offer the resolutions listed if they're supported by those values.
[10:45] <amb> _jason: just wanted the radio in the background while coding - sigh. I think I'll stick it on my Windows laptop :-)
[10:45] <_jason> amb, boo :P
[10:46] <vk> pumpernicle, im using my laptop, when im using the built in screen i usually use 1024*768, now when i have connected an external screen the only resolution aviable is 640*480
[10:46] <Pygi> freaky: ping ping
[10:46] <vk> i dont want to change anything that makes the laptopscreen not working
[10:46] <Mabus> vk did you press ctrl + alt + backspace yet?

[10:51] <steve_> PuMpErNiCkLe: don't find anything
[10:51] <Cythril> Alright, thanks. :)
[10:51] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Cythril: It means you forgot to install gcc.  Do 'sudo apt-get install build-essential'
[10:51] <Stork> why does nothing work with ubuntu :(
[10:51] <_jason> Cythril, there is a package for it too
[10:51] <kane_> hi. I seem to have a question mounting one of my bsd drives and it gives this error: "ufs_read_super: bad magic number" -- odd thing is i have 5 more disks configured the exact same way, mounted with the exact same command, and they have no problem. The only thing that makes this drive 'differen't is that it's 300gb, the next largest is 250gb... any pointers? google doesn't give me anything here
[10:52] <sarah> can any one help with installing a scanner printer?
[10:52] <kane_> s/question/problem/ duh
[10:52] <Cythril> I know there's a package, but I'd like to learn to install stuff from the terminal.  :)
[10:52] <Stork> why does nothing work with ubuntu :( my nvidia driver installer says "gcc-version-check failed", but when i try 'sudo apt-get install gcc' it says i have the latest one
[10:52] <crimsun> Stork: you need gcc-3.4
[10:52] <_jason> Cythril, do you know about checkinstall?
[10:52] <Stork> crimsun, how can i get that?
[10:52] <ddfreyne> Wibble-_: reinstalled yaboot, works fine. Thanks for the hint :)
[10:52] <robotgeek> Stork: sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4
[10:53] <Stork> crimsun, nvm got it
[10:53] <attroja> hm, http://frankandjacq.com doesn't seem to be up, or atleast the LimeWire zip file isn't, where else can I get it? (using wget in the terminal)
[10:53] <Dead_Letter> seems like I felt asleep
[10:53] <Cythril> Nope, what's checkinstall?
[10:53] <matthewjames> hey, will rezizing partitians erase the files on it?
[10:53] <robotgeek> ubotu: tell Cythril about checkinstall
[10:53] <Poignant> matthewjames no
[10:53] <matthewjames> using the parter included in install cd
[10:53] <^^z3r0c00l> !time
[10:53] <Stork> ok, i've got gcc 3.4 but it still gives me the same error in the nvidia driver installation
[10:53] <ubotu> ^^z3r0c00l: Wish i knew
[10:53] <matthewjames> really?
[10:53] <sarah> can any one point me in the right place?
[10:53] <robotgeek> attroja: you don't need limewire, gtk-gnutella is very nice
[10:53] <gnomefreak> attroja, the guide doesnt work?
[10:54] <blacks-> if I want to change something in an initrd, can I just ungzip, uncpio, change file, cpio, gzip?
[10:54] <HiTiT> How to use fiaf or firehol?
[10:54] <_jason> Cythril, instead of using 'make install' you use 'checkinstall'.  That way it will be a package in synaptic so you can easily remove it if you wish to.  You need to install the package for 'checkinstall' to use it.  And the bot told you all this but I started typing so...
[10:54] <CactusWiZaRd> i'm trying updating Firefox to the version 1.5 but the command sudo tar xzvf firefox-1.5.tar.gz throws an error, which folder the firefox-1.5.tar.gz should be?
[10:54] <Poignant> matthewjames, if you let the installer take care of it it will leave windows intact and setup the boot loader for you
[10:54] <attroja> gnomefreak: the link seems to be down (frankjacq.com)
[10:54] <gnomefreak> where am i pointing sarah to?
[10:54] <matthewjames> so would i part my ntfs drive, and change the parts in it to ext3 and swap?
[10:54] <Poignant> matthewjames, yep
[10:54] <Stork> ok, i've got gcc 3.4 but it still gives me the same error in the nvidia driver installation
[10:54] <Cythril> Hmm, it does a lot of stuff and then says "configure: error: cannot find setupterm or tgetent" and then stops.
[10:54] <Poignant> It will go for half your drive
[10:54] <sarah> printer scanner drivers
[10:55] <Poignant> At least thats what I have found
[10:55] <_jason> Cythril, sudo apt-get build-dep bitchx
[10:55] <Poignant> You can tell it how much to take tho
[10:55] <gnomefreak> that i dont know sarah sorry :( i use gimp drivers for my printer
[10:55] <attroja> robotgeek: gtk-gnutella is right in Synaptic/Add Ap right?
[10:55] <Stork> ok, i've got gcc 3.4 but it still gives me the same error in the nvidia driver installation
[10:55] <Cythril> Sorry to keep asking questions, but what does that do?
[10:55] <matthewjames> so, i start the parter, part the ntfs drive?
[10:55] <_jason> Cythril, installs the dependencies for bitchx
[10:55] <sarah> k
[10:56] <Stork> ok, i've got gcc 3.4 but it still gives me the same error in the nvidia driver installation
[10:56] <Cythril> So if I'm ever installing a program and that happens, I can just use that line to find the dependencies?
[10:56] <cjfs> hi
[10:56] <Cythril> It is but I wanna learn how to install stuff using the terminal. :)
[10:56] <gnomefreak> ahhhhh
[10:56] <Poignant> matthewjames, yep trust me it will leave windows alone and give you an option during the install to add it to the boot loader
[10:56] <cjfs> is there a way to become root on the ubuntu live cd?
[10:56] <_jason> Cythril, I wish it was that easy.  it will help you most of the time
[10:56] <tbw> Howdy
[10:56] <linuxphile> Where might I find the kernel-source for 2.6.12-9?
[10:57] <matthewjames> so just part the ntfs part?
[10:57] <tbw> Anyone familiar with nvidia cards and how I might be able to make sure the HDTV out isn't setup as the primary display?
[10:57] <_jason> Cythril, usually you'll have to see what it says and then install what it asks for
[10:57] <Cythril> Alrighty, sounds good.
[10:57] <tbw> What I want to do is playing DVD's and such out of the HDTV port, but not anything else....
[10:57] <Kovecses> got my new router set up without a hitch
[10:57] <tbw> Perhaps run FreeVO out of the HDTV Port
[10:57] <Cythril> So like if it said "Can't find abcd" I'd do "sudo apt-get abcd"?
[10:57] <tbw> is that possible?
[10:57] <Farris1> Any suggestions for troubleshooting NFS slowness? I've ruled out disk access on the server by testing speeds on the server itself. NFS is working at decent speed on one export, but slow on another
[10:57] <Poignant> Yep, if you let the installer do it and then tell it how much to take it will take the end of the drive for the partion
[10:57] <Kovecses> ive had two routers die in the past year
[10:57] <_jason> Stork, did you tell it to use gcc-3.4?
[10:57] <sarah> how do i add an icon for gmplayer (mplayer) in sound & video menu
[10:57] <UmmOk> Hi guys, keep having a problem with my install, During the partition process I have selected the first available option to erase and use the entire disk, however my installation keeps halting during the process of "Copying remaining packages to disk" at 32% during the 'language-pack-et-base...'
[10:57] <matthewjames> let installer part?
[10:58] <Poignant> Yep
[10:58] <Stork> _jason, how can i do that?
[10:58] <Kovecses> sarah, it didnt put one there after you installed?
[10:58] <_jason> Stork, export CC=gcc-3.4
[10:58] <matthewjames> k, when i get to parter optian, which optian i click on?
[10:58] <dell500> anyone know how to change the owner of a certain folder? and all it's contents
[10:58] <dell500> chown -R ...
[10:58] <sarah> not that i can see no
[10:58] <Kovecses> sarah, it should just say MPlayer
[10:59] <UmmOk> After 5-10min, it times out saying there is not enough space in the /var of this partition
[10:59] <gnomefreak> dell500, depends what priveldges you want
[10:59] <Poignant> matthewjames, myself I found it easyer o pick the first one on the list
[10:59] <Kovecses> sarah, did you get it from synaptic
[10:59] <Poignant> to*
[10:59] <dell500> gnomefreak: well i'm trying to get my ipod to work w/ gnupod
[10:59] <matthewjames> but that erases the whole idsk?
[10:59] <Davey`> 5 users per IP I think
[10:59] <CactusWiZaRd> i'm trying to update Firefox to the version 1.5 but the command sudo tar xzvf firefox-1.5.tar.gz throws an error, which folder the firefox-1.5.tar.gz should be?
[10:59] <dell500> gnomefreak: so i need to change the folder in /media/ipod so the owner is me
[10:59] <_jason> dell500, man chown knows
[10:59] <Davey`> and now i'll scroll to the current conversation. bleh
[10:59] <sarah> works from the terminal but no icon with i dont get. i had to build it and stuff as the add app wouldnt let me install it
[11:00] <Kovecses> CactusWiZaRd, why not use file roller?
[11:00] <gnomefreak> dell500, man chmod will give you what varibles/parameters to use
[11:00] <matthewjames> but that erases the whole disk, dont it?
[11:00] <Davey`> CactusWiZaRd: try -zxvf
[11:00] <Kovecses> sarah, huh.
[11:00] <Stork> damn it, my sound quality is so bad.
[11:00] <Poignant> matthewjames, one of them says some along the lines of use the free space at the end of the drive
[11:00] <Kovecses> Stork, upgrade alsa
[11:00] <matthewjames> only 8 mb
[11:01] <Stork> Kovecses, how?
[11:01] <matthewjames> my drive has 2 parts
[11:01] <crimsun> Stork: sblive?
[11:01] <matthewjames> 1 ntfs
[11:01] <Stork> sblive?
[11:01] <Poignant> matthewjames, you only have 8mb of free space?
[11:01] <Kovecses> Stork, well you have to compile it
[11:01] <matthewjames> and 1 for recovery
[11:01] <CactusWiZaRd> Kovecses, file roller?
[11:01] <Stork> Kovecses, how?
[11:01] <kane_> [re-ask]  hi. I seem to have a problem mounting one of my bsd drives and it gives this error: "ufs_read_super: bad magic number" -- odd thing is i have 5 more disks configured the exact same way, mounted with the exact same command, and they have no problem. The only thing that makes this drive 'differen't is that it's 300gb, the next largest is 250gb... any pointers? google doesn't give me anything here
[11:01] <crimsun> Stork: meaning "do you have a sound blaster live?"
[11:01] <matthewjames> ya, it came with both parts taking up all space but 8 mb
[11:01] <Kovecses> CactusWiZaRd, yeah its in the menu
[11:01] <Stork> i don't know what that is
[11:01] <Stork> crimsun, i don't know what that is
[11:01] <crimsun> Stork: it's sound card
[11:01] <CactusWiZaRd> Davey` didn't work :E
[11:01] <Stork> i have my sound built into my mobo
[11:01] <crimsun> Stork: cat /proc/asound/cards
[11:01] <matthewjames> on a 240 gb hard drive
[11:01] <Poignant> matthewjames, you will need more than that
[11:02] <_jason> CactusWiZaRd, what error are you getting
[11:02] <Kovecses> Stork, new to linux?
[11:02] <Knowerrors> Any Gmail users here?  I am trying to send an email with 2 png attachments, one is 100k the other 90k, the message never sends with konq, same with opera, and firefox says "document contains no data" after a few minutes, any help please
[11:02] <matthewjames> so, do i just rezize my ntfs to make it samller?
[11:02] <Stork> Kovecses, unfortunately not
[11:02] <Kovecses> Stork, and you dont know how to compile?
[11:02] <Poignant> matthewjames, that or get the installer to do it
[11:02] <sarah> sorry it would let me install it from the add applications option said not supported for my plattform or sumut so went into terminal and downloaded it and installed it there. works it i type gmplayer in the terminal but there is no icon in the menu
[11:02] <Stork> Kovecses, yep.
[11:02] <Kovecses> Stork, is ubuntu your first distro?
[11:03] <Stork> Kovecses, yep.
[11:03] <sarah> sorry *wouldnt
[11:03] <matthewjames> what i want is 3/4 of space windows, and other linuz
[11:03] <CactusWiZaRd> _jason, says that the file does not exist, when i tried at desktop and then in /home
[11:03] <gnomefreak> :( i think my tower repo went caput :(
[11:03] <UmmOk> Hi guys, keep having a problem with my install, During the partition process I have selected the first available option to erase and use the entire disk, however my installation keeps halting during the process of "Copying remaining packages to disk" at 32% during the 'language-pack-et-base...'
[11:03] <UmmOk> After 5-10min, it times out saying there is not enough space in the /var of this partition
[11:03] <_jason> CactusWiZaRd, where is the file now?
[11:03] <CactusWiZaRd> _jason in /home
[11:03] <gnomefreak> UmmOk, do you have another cdrom?
[11:03] <Poignant> matthewjames, if you follow the installer insrutions you can tell it how much to take
[11:03] <Kovecses> Stork, yeah ubuntu is a bad distro beleive it or not to actually "learn" linux .. ubuntu is all set up with all gui apps and stuff.. ver very nice... but it doesnt teach much
[11:03] <UmmOk> no
[11:04] <UmmOk> gnomefreak, no
[11:04] <matthewjames> so, i choose the optian, manually edit partitian table, edit ntfs, rezize?
[11:04] <HiTiT> how to use shorewall
[11:04] <Stork> Kovecses, oh good.
[11:04] <gnomefreak> UmmOk, my dvd rom did that to me i switch the 2 and it fixed it
[11:04] <HiTiT> !shorewall
[11:04] <ubotu> HiTiT: parse error: dunno what the heck you're talking about
[11:04] <Kovecses> Stork, but this is not a bad thing
[11:04] <martii> re
[11:04] <Storkme> Kovecses, could have fooled me
[11:04] <Kovecses> Stork, ive used just about every distro out there
[11:04] <linuxphile> Any idea where I might find the kernel source for 2.6.12-9 for Ubuntu?
[11:04] <UmmOk> gnomefreak, cool thanks.. I will visit my neighbor and see what happens from there
[11:04] <martii> I try to use http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
[11:04] <martii> no install dapper over net
[11:05] <_jason> CactusWiZaRd, if you're sure it's in home just do: tar zxvf ~/name_of_file
[11:05] <Kovecses> Stork, and ubuntu is the best right now
[11:05] <Storkme> oh good.
[11:05] <martii> it looks like it fails
[11:05] <gnomefreak> UmmOk, i think its the cache in the rom that is full :( but dont quote me on that
[11:05] <Otis> hi all ... I don't have my Breezy Badger CD handy this evening ... can I find the packages that are on it online through Synaptic ?
[11:05] <gnomefreak> !dapper
[11:05] <Poignant> matthewjames, should be an option it gives you if you are worried to let the installer resize it for you
[11:05] <ubotu> The 6.04 version of Ubuntu will be called the "Dapper Drake" release. It's going to be released on April 20, 2006. Not before. Use at your _own_ risk before the release date.
[11:05] <Storkme> Kovecses, that doesn't say much for linux then, does it
[11:05] <HiTiT> how to use shorewall??
[11:05] <matthewjames> Poignant: u have msn, for i can talk to u durring insatlling?
[11:05] <steve_> How do I uninstall a program that where installed by a *.sh script thingy?
[11:05] <Kovecses> Storkme, what do you mean
[11:05] <_jason> CactusWiZaRd, is it actually in /home? or /home/username?
[11:05] <Poignant> Nope
[11:05] <matthewjames> aol?
[11:05] <Storkme> Kovecses, it's buggy as hell
[11:05] <martii> it looks like installer is broken?
[11:05] <Poignant> You can pm if you really want on here
[11:05] <Kovecses> Storkme, not it is not
[11:06] <gnomefreak> HiTiT, try google youll be lucky to find someone in here using it
[11:06] <PuMpErNiCkLe> steve_: Try appending --uninstall to the script next time you run it.
[11:06] <matthewjames> cant durring install
[11:06] <gnomefreak> martii, what install?
[11:06] <Kovecses> Storkme, if you want a rock solid no-bug system use debian sarge
[11:06] <Storkme> Kovecses, every time i restart, my xserver needs to be reconfigured with nvidia drivers. tell me that isn't buggy
[11:06] <magenie> !webcam
[11:06] <ubotu> [webcam]  now easy to install, per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Webcam - webcam support soon to be available in amsn and gaim-vv.
[11:06] <CactusWiZaRd> _jason /home/username i think
[11:06] <HiTiT> gnomefreak: which Fire wall do you reccomand? [some thing easy to use] 
[11:06] <Otis> if I remove "CD" as a source, in the Synaptics app, will it be able to find online the packages I need ?
[11:06] <martii> gnomefreak: dapper over net
[11:06] <matthewjames> poignant: u dont have aim, or icq?
[11:06] <Kovecses> Storkme, pebkac
[11:06] <Pygi> freaky: ping ping
[11:06] <_jason> CactusWiZaRd, type 'ls', does it list your file?
[11:06] <CanYouHelpMePlz> Kovecses: don't come here telling people to use something other then ubuntu ..
[11:06] <gnomefreak> martii, i dont think thats possible yet
[11:06] <Storkme> Kovecses, who/what/where/why/when?
[11:06] <Pygi> freaky: ping ping
[11:06] <gnomefreak> Pygi, pong
[11:07] <martii> gnomefreak: 7meg bootable iso

[11:07] <martii> gnomefreak: as there is installation cd
[11:07] <Pygi> freaky: have u written? we should start working :)
[11:07] <HiTiT> gnomefreak: mm how configure it=\? Im newbie
[11:07] <gnomefreak> martii, well seeing its not out in beta yet it could be that they havent finished
[11:07] <Kovecses> Storkme, pebkac.... problem exists between keyboard and chair
[11:07] <PuMpErNiCkLe> steve_: How about --help ?  It might give you a list of options or something useful...
[11:07] <gnomefreak> Pygi, no im fixing this pos this weekend :(
[11:08] <CactusWiZaRd> _jason, yah it does
[11:08] <Storkme> Kovecses, what the hell is that supposed to mean?
[11:08] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell HiTiT about firestarter
[11:08] <jose> hola
[11:08] <Pygi> freaky: huh, we said we will start working on monday :/
[11:08] <martii> gnomefreak: I can understand that packeges are broken
[11:08] <_jason> CactusWiZaRd, ok try your command again and if it doesn't work paste what you entered exactly
[11:08] <Marlun> is mplayer not available through synaptic anymore?
[11:08] <Kovecses> Storkme, tons of people use nvidia without problem at all
[11:08] <Storkme> Kovecses, lucky them.
[11:08] <_jason> ubotu, tell Marlun about mplayer
[11:08] <steve_> PuMpErNiCkLe: yes.. tho it doesn't say anyhting about uninstall
[11:08] <gnomefreak> i know im falling behind with school and getting this up and running what i need it to run for java
[11:09] <martii> gnomefreak: but installer to be honest is different only when comes to hardware discovery
[11:09] <Storkme> Kovecses, and there's me having to spend 10 minutes configuring it every time i switch on my pc
[11:09] <Pygi> freaky: ah, ok :/
[11:09] <martii> gnomefreak: and it does is ok
[11:09] <Stork> Kovecses, it just hates me
[11:09] <Kovecses> Storkme, its probably not loading the module correctly did you follow the guide
[11:09] <martii> gnomefreak: the problem is with mirrors list
[11:09] <gnomefreak> martii, net install is different that reg iso
[11:09] <mad_phoenix> im having a strange ssh issue...when i connect to another ubuntu box on my lan, it connects, asks for password, spits out welcome message, and then returns me to my normal terminal command prompt without giving an error message...any ideas?
[11:09] <Stork> Kovecses, and the damn sound STILL DOESNT WORK
[11:09] <Stork> i'm about ready to quit this linux crap
[11:09] <gnomefreak> martii, maybe they are working on the servers to release alpha 3
[11:09] <cjfs> gnometris rocks
[11:09] <cjfs> an excellent port!
[11:10] <Stork> at least with windows they have support staff i can abuse until it works
[11:10] <mad_phoenix> Stork: see canonical
[11:10] <cjfs> Stork, okay, so quit :)
[11:10] <PuMpErNiCkLe> steve_: Does it give a list of installed files?
[11:10] <cjfs> come back in a couple years, have a nice day
[11:10] <Stork> cjfs, hah, too poor for that
[11:10] <CactusWiZaRd> _jason i got it :)
[11:10] <cactii> I have an AC96 sound card that I can not for the life of me get to work with Ubuntu. Can somebody help me out please?
[11:10] <_jason> CactusWiZaRd, k
[11:11] <cjfs> Stork, any specific problem?
[11:11] <cjfs> ah, sound
[11:11] <cactii> yes..wonderful stuff that sound...
[11:11] <Kovecses> Stork, what did you try
[11:11] <Stork> cjfs, two, actually. for one. xserver keeps needing reconfiguration every time i restart (glxgears gives me a segmentation fault and xmms refuses to load), for second, i'm having awful sound quality, even after rebooting
[11:12] <cjfs> cactii, I usually don't even enable it on linux/bsd systems, I have no use for it
[11:12] <cactii> I read a web page that said to add i810_audio into the /etc/modules and I did that but it still doesn;t work.
[11:12] <HiTiT> how can i edit my startup programs?
[11:12] <HiTiT> ?
[11:12] <cactii> Well... cjfs I am trying to use Ubuntu as a desktop system.
[11:12] <AndyR> lo all
[11:12] <Kovecses> cactii, what sound card you got?
[11:12] <steve_> PuMpErNiCkLe: --list   Print the list of files in the archive maybe?
[11:13] <penut> can someone help me i keep getting this error *** Warning: importing gtk version 2.0 doesn't work.
[11:13] <penut> *** Warning: driconf will probably not work for the above reason(s).
[11:13] <HiTiT> How can I edit my startup programs?
[11:13] <Stork> i have some problems with ubuntu. two, actually. for one. xserver keeps needing reconfiguration every time i restart (glxgears gives me a segmentation fault and xmms refuses to load), for second, i'm having awful sound quality, even after rebooting
[11:13] <cactii> Ac97 compliant sound card... I have a Gateway laptop with integrated audio but it says nothing specific about the manufacturer of the audio device in the specs.
[11:13] <Catfish_Man> Hi everyone
[11:13] <gnomefreak> martii, give me the link you think is down
[11:14] <Kovecses> Stork, xmms refuses to load.... what kinda hardware do you have?
[11:14] <AndyR> anyone else have issues with internal mic on inspirons i have enabled in alsamixer and turned gain on
[11:14] <martii> gnomefreak: where can I put mirror by hand ?
[11:14] <AndyR> the mic works fine in xp
[11:14] <crimsun> AndyR: you need to toggle capture and unmute it, too.
[11:14] <Stork> Kovecses, 6600gt graphics card, sound is in the mobo
[11:14] <martii> gnomefreak: that what I have in logs
[11:14] <cjfs> Stork, what are you doing to configure X?
[11:14] <martii> gnomefreak: Jan 14 22:02:13 main-menu[2033] : WARNING **: Configuring 'choose-mirror' failed with error code 134
[11:14] <martii> Jan 14 22:02:13 main-menu[2033] : WARNING **: Menu item 'choose-mirror' failed.
[11:14] <crimsun> AndyR: you also need to select the mic for capturing
[11:14] <sarah> How do i make mplayer my defult player?
[11:15] <Stork> cjfs, just use 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and hold down enter
[11:15] <Kovecses> Stork, no I mean ... architecture processer ram mobo?
[11:15] <gnomefreak> martii, i need the site where you get to the mirrors
[11:15] <AndyR> crimsun, ive also done that, if i switch to mic 2 the socket works fine
[11:15] <Catfish_Man> so, a friend of mine just tried to dual boot Ubuntu 5.10 and Windows XP, and appears to have managed to mess up his MBR in the process. GRUB loads, and has an error 25, which he hasn't been able to find any information about
[11:15] <Stork> Kovecses, 32 bit, amd x2 4200+, asus a8n5x
[11:15] <gnomefreak> martii, are all the mirrors down? or just that one?
[11:15] <martii> gnomefreak: image comes from here http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
[11:15] <MickMcMack> 32bit AMD X2? :s
[11:15] <_jason> sarah, right click on the video file and go to 'open with'
[11:15] <cactii> Kovecses, I have AC97 compliant sound... It is a Gateway laptop with integrated sound... The manufacturer only says that it is AC97 compliant.
[11:15] <martii> gnomefreak: it does not even \
[11:15] <martii> gnomefreak: display mirrors list
[11:15] <martii> gnomefreak: dies
[11:15] <Kovecses> Stork, well that should be fine... hmm
[11:16] <penut> help i keep getting this eror *** Warning: importing gtk version 2.0 doesn't work.
[11:16] <penut> *** Warning: driconf will probably not work for the above reason(s).
[11:16] <martii> gnomefreak: otherwise I would know to select another one
[11:16] <Stork> MickMcMack, no, i'm running on 32 bit
[11:16] <MickMcMack> Stork, why? :S
[11:16] <MickMcMack> You have a 64bit proc, why not use all of it? O_o;
[11:16] <martii> gnomefreak: it just dies when installer finished network config and tries to show me mirrors list
[11:16] <Stork> MickMcMack, because ubuntu 64 isn't very good
[11:16] <gnomefreak> martii, i dont suggest you use dapper yet if you cant get past a mirror mines downloading fine
[11:16] <Stork> MickMcMack, for playing quake4, at least
[11:16] <sorush20> guys what is the command that I need to use with badblock?
[11:17] <Pygi> freaky: when do u think u could write it?
[11:17] <MickMcMack> Stork, if you want games, use Windows. :s
[11:17] <Kovecses> Stork, well apparently ubuntu 32 isnt that good for you either
[11:17] <martii> gnomefreak: do you know where should I add them by hand
[11:17] <Stork> MickMcMack, i would partition and install both but i'm too stupid to partition
[11:17] <MickMcMack> Stork, I'm using Ubuntu 64 on an identical proc, and it works fine
[11:17] <MickMcMack> .
[11:17] <Catfish_Man> any thoughts on that GRUB error?
[11:17] <Stork> MickMcMack, and yeah, too poor for windows
[11:17] <martii> gnomefreak: so I will trick installer
[11:17] <sorush20> I've read the manual but can't figure it out since I don't know much about sectrors and blocks etc.
[11:17] <sarah> yer but i want to be lazy and just click on the file
[11:17] <gnomefreak> martii, as for net install being same as iso image how is that net install is only 7.3 mb not 600mb
[11:17] <Stork> Kovecses, linux in general isn't good for me
[11:17] <Kovecses> Stork, partitioning is the very easy
[11:17] <Stork> Kovecses, i feel close to kicking the shit out of my box
[11:18] <cactii> I'm running the Ubuntu 64 version too.
[11:18] <Kovecses> Stork, fedora and gentoo have better amd64 support than ubuntu does
[11:18] <sorush20> what is verbose mode?
[11:18] <lsuactiafner> load average: 5.42, 5.42, 5.29
[11:18] <lsuactiafner> bleh
[11:18] <halibut> http://66.98.238.14/~compfuse/media/gallery/great-pics-mang-05.jpg
[11:18] <gnomefreak> btw martii save the net install image to disk if you ever get it up and downloaded
[11:18] <Stork> Kovecses, doesn't 64-bit just mean i can address more ram?
[11:19] <Kovecses> Stork, HA.. are you serious
[11:19] <^^z3r0c00l> halibut: what the...?
[11:19] <Stork> Kovecses, no, i'm just retarded and stressed
[11:19] <penut> what do I do about this *** Warning: importing gtk version 2.0 doesn't work.
[11:19] <penut> *** Warning: driconf will probably not work for the above reason(s).
[11:19] <Kovecses> Stork, you want me to mail you an xp cd ... lol
[11:20] <Pygi> freaky:: when could u doi it?
[11:20] <speedy> i installed ubuntu, sound is not working, how can i check where the problem is?
[11:20] <Martini> I have 3COM ISA Network card. My Ubuntu (Breezy Badger) doesn' t find it. HOW CAN I INSTALL IT? Is it needed a driver?
[11:20] <Kovecses> speedy, soundcard?
[11:20] <gnomefreak> Pygi, i will try to have it done by tuesday night wed. night
[11:20] <Stork> Kovecses, i'd rather get my sound working
[11:20] <sarah> so u cant just make mplayer the defult player like u can in windows??
[11:20] <crimsun> speedy: how old is the computer?
[11:20] <speedy> Kovecses, yamaha, used to work in debian with alsa
[11:20] <gnomefreak> <<<having major java issues
[11:20] <speedy> crimsun, i'm in legacy bios
[11:20] <Pygi> freaky: ah, ok
[11:21] <mad_phoenix> can anybody tell me why ssh would log into the remote machine, and then immediate dump me back to my own command prompt?
[11:21] <crimsun> speedy: did you modprobe snd-opl3sa2?
[11:21] <Kovecses> speedy, ok ... then this is what to do.... go to the alsa webpage.. download alsa-utils... into your home direc... then run ... /home/you/alsa-utils/alsaconf/alsaconf.in
[11:21] <martii> gnomefreak: it is the same
[11:21] <speedy> crimsun it was snd_intel8x0 in debian
[11:22] <speedy> and its loaded
[11:22] <Kovecses> speedy, friggin ubuntu doesnt include alsaconf
[11:22] <gnomefreak> martii, the iso is different
[11:22] <mad_phoenix> Martini: you have to find out specifically what module it needs (google), then find out if you have that module loaded (lsmod), and if its not then load it (modprobe <module name>)
[11:22] <HiTiT> Gow can I do firestarter to run at startup?
[11:22] <martii> gnomefreak: iso install installs deb packages from CD (apt has cd source)
[11:22] <HiTiT> How can I do firestarter to run at startup?
[11:22] <penut> can someone tell me what i did wrong *** Warning: importing gtk version 2.0 doesn't work.
[11:22] <penut> *** Warning: driconf will probably not work for the above reason(s).
[11:22] <Kovecses> speedy, gonna have to sudo that
[11:22] <martii> gnomefreak: net install has just network source
[11:22] <martii> gnomefreak: no more differencies
[11:22] <crimsun> speedy: amixer output onto pastebin
[11:22] <gnomefreak> martii, iso for cd is almost 700mb the net install is 7.3 mb
[11:22] <Storkme> god sake
[11:22] <Kovecses> Storkme, what?
[11:22] <martii> gnomefreak: YES
[11:22] <martii> gnomefreak: because CD is filled with DEP packages
[11:23] <Storkme> Kovecses, i still can't fix the sound, and google isn't giving me anything conclusive
[11:23] <martii> gnomefreak: and NET version get all from NET not CD
[11:23] <Kovecses> Storkme, compile new alsa version....
[11:23] <gnomefreak> martii, ok very good now 700 and 7.3 are nowhere near the same size that makes the image differnet
[11:23] <martii> gnomefreak: so it will get about 400 mb of stuff from net
[11:23] <HiTiT> How can I do firestarter to run at startup?
[11:23] <Storkme> Kovecses, how?
[11:23] <HiTiT> How can I do firestarter to run at startup?
[11:23] <Kovecses> Storkme, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[11:23] <Kovecses> Storkme, go to alsa webpage
[11:23] <crimsun> Storkme: ...wasn't sound working earlier?
[11:23] <speedy> crimsun, http://pastebin.com/505959
[11:23] <martii> gnomefreak: size is different but installer itself is almost the same
[11:24] <gnomefreak> martii, size being differnet means the image its self is differnt
[11:24] <HiTiT> How can I do firestarter to run at startup?
[11:24] <martii> gnomefreak: just allows you to select networked source
[11:24] <sarah> if linux is better  then windows why is there no drivers for my printer and why does a 2 min job in win take 1hr in linux?
[11:24] <martii> gnomefreak: that;s all
[11:24] <Kovecses> Storkme, download alsa-driver alsa-libs alsa-oss and alsa-utila
[11:24] <gnomefreak> thats all an iso is is an image
[11:24] <Kovecses> Storkme, download alsa-driver alsa-libs alsa-oss and alsa-utils
[11:24] <Storkme> crimsun, yes, indeed it was
[11:24] <crimsun> speedy: are you actually using your optical output?
[11:24] <martii> sarah: linux os not for lamers
[11:24] <HiTiT> How can I do firestarter to run at startup?How can I do firestarter to run at startup?
[11:24] <crimsun> Storkme: ...what did you do to make sound stop working?
[11:24] <martii> sarah: but for people with brain
[11:24] <gnomefreak> martii, they are not the same nor do they work the same
[11:24] <Kovecses> Storkme, so sound WAS working
[11:24] <speedy> crimsun, can you explain more?
[11:24] <Storkme> crimsun, hah, restart.
[11:24] <HiTiT> How can I do firestarter to run at startup?
[11:24] <mjr> sarah, 1) Because your printer manufacturer hasn't made them 2) because you're used to doing it the windows way
[11:25] <martii> gnomefreak: they are almost identical
[11:25] <crimsun> speedy: are you using a digital output to a stereo receiver, or are you using speakers/headphone connected to the soundcard?
[11:25] <martii> gnomefreak: and don't argue as I helped developing linux and I know how it works
[11:25] <speedy> crimsun, no regular laptop speakers
[11:25] <martii> gnomefreak: just different apt source
[11:25] <crimsun> speedy: then, amixer sset 'IEC958' off
[11:25] <Martini> mad_phoenix: what module should I search for? 3COM ISA DRIVER for UBUNTU?
[11:25] <gnomefreak> martii, dont be like that if you cant help her dont say anything to her this is not a room to talk shit you want to talk shit go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:25] <sethk> sarah, linux isn't better and windows isn't better.  If your criteria is easy use of a wide variety of printers, then windows is surely better
[11:25] <martii> gnomefreak: nothing more
[11:25] <agenteo> the first ubuntu 4.10 live is using a kernel 2.4?
[11:26] <Catfish_Man> ok, looks like GRUB error 25 is a disk read error. Anyone know if anything besides drive failure can cause that?
[11:26] <Kovecses> why use 4.10
[11:26] <Chris_Tucker> a configure app told me this "checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.6.0... no" i have searched apt but cannot figure out which package i need, what do i need?
[11:26] <sethk> sarah, I can install a printer on linux in three minutes, but that's because I already know how it is done
[11:26] <gnomefreak> martii, 7.3mb what do yyou think is the iso image of?
[11:26] <agenteo> I just need a 2.4 kernel, and an answer thanks :-)
[11:26] <sethk> sarah, but, absolutely, if you don't care to know about the internals of the o/s, then for this purpose windows is better.
[11:26] <martii> gnomefreak: installer source
[11:26] <martii> gnomefreak: use your brain
[11:26] <speedy> crimsun, thats it?
[11:26] <martii> gnomefreak: installer script
[11:27] <gnomefreak> all it is is the installer takes up maybe half that and the rest is kernel
[11:27] <crimsun> speedy: depends, can you hear sound?
[11:27] <martii> gnomefreak: downloads packages from net
[11:27] <martii> gnomefreak: CD insaller, identical gets those packages from CD
[11:27] <Storkme> 56422 frames in 5.0 seconds = 11284.258 FPS
[11:27] <Storkme> 55584 frames in 5.0 seconds = 11116.694 FPS
[11:27] <gnomefreak> martii, very good but before you can do anything you have to have atleast part of a kernel
[11:27] <martii> gnomefreak: simple and always works
[11:27] <Martini> I have 3COM ISA Network card. My Ubuntu (Breezy Badger) doesn' t find it. HOW CAN I INSTALL IT? Is it needed a driver?
[11:27] <martii> gnomefreak: what part of kernel?
[11:27] <sarah> setthk: then would u be able to put me in the right direction to get a driver for lexmark x1100 scanner printer?
[11:28] <gnomefreak> you need a kernel to use linux at all
[11:28] <martii> gnomefreak: this ISO boot's up the same way CD installation does
[11:28] <gnomefreak> without it you dont have installer
[11:28] <Chris_Tucker> a configure app told me this "checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.6.0... no" i have searched apt but cannot figure out which package i need, what do i need?
[11:28] <speedy> i'm having permission denied errors when i run esd
[11:28] <Kovecses> Chris_Tucker, let me check
[11:28] <martii> gnomefreak: that;s why I preffer to use net installer
[11:29] <Chris_Tucker> thanks Kovecses
[11:29] <martii> gnomefreak: as it gets latest packages
[11:29] <gnomefreak> martii, its done you know what your doing ill admit that well maybe first get the mirror working lol
[11:29] <crimsun> speedy: don't try to run esd
[11:29] <martii> gnomefreak: and installs i686 kernel
[11:29] <martii> gnomefreak: instead of shity i386
[11:29] <crimsun> speedy: use: aplay /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav
[11:29] <sethk> Chris_Tucker, if the issue is the GTK version, you probably don't need a package, you probably need to do something with your pkgconfig database
[11:29] <martii> gnomefreak: that;s why I kindly asked
[11:29] <Storkme> what does this mean: xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration
[11:29] <Storkme>    file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.200601142229
[11:29] <gnomefreak> it will only give you the packages that are avalible
[11:29] <mjr> Martini, you might be out of luck, at least my Ubuntu-shipped 2.6 kernel doesn't support 3com isa cards anymore. (And I mean the support is not there, even configurable)
[11:29] <martii> gnomefreak: where should I type mirror name by hand?
[11:29] <Chris_Tucker> sethk, such as? and how?
[11:29] <mjr> oh, he left, ah well
[11:30] <speedy> crimsun, same thing permission denied errors
[11:30] <Paradosso> hi there, I'm trying to help a friend istalling kubuntu
[11:30] <martii> gnomefreak: if you don;t know just say it
[11:30] <crimsun> speedy: groups|grep audio
[11:30] <Storkme> what does this mean: "xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.200601142229"
[11:30] <gnomefreak> martii, the mirror that i got worked fine
[11:30] <martii> gnomefreak: and I won't bother you again
[11:30] <Paradosso> what partition manager do you recommend to prepare partitions?
[11:30] <gnomefreak> its downloaded sitting in my home dir
[11:30] <speedy> crimsun, thereis no group called audio
[11:30] <Paradosso> he needs to destroy a previous ext3 one
[11:30] <Stork> what does this mean: "xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.200601142229"
[11:30] <speedy> crimsun, shall i create it, and add myself to that group?
[11:30] <Paradosso> possibly from windows or from boot
[11:30] <omerix_> i can't play mp3 files
[11:31] <Blippe> Stork, it saved your old xorg.conf and made a new one!
[11:31] <crimsun> speedy: erm...there isn't? Did you do a standard Ubuntu desktop installation?
[11:31] <omerix_> There were no decoders found to handle the stream, you might need to install the corresponding plugins
[11:31] <martii> gnomefreak: ok I'll have to wait till monday to get someone competent from Ubuntu developers
[11:31] <Martini> I have 3COM ISA Network card. My Ubuntu (Breezy Badger) doesn' t find it. HOW CAN I INSTALL IT? Is it needed a driver?
[11:31] <Blippe> the old one is now  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.200601142229
[11:31] <omerix_> what sholud i do
[11:31] <martii> gnomefreak: anyway thanks
[11:31] <martii> gnomefreak: for not ignoring me ;)
[11:31] <Stork> Blippe, so it made a backup in xorg.conf.2005903297247whatever ?
[11:31] <crimsun> Martini: WHICH 3com card? And stop using caps for the love of all that's holy.
[11:31] <Stork> Blippe, and overwrote xorg.conf with the new settings?
[11:31] <sorush20> the odd est thing is happening.
[11:32] <cactii> I have AC97 compliant sound that doesn't work with Ubuntu64... It is a Gateway laptop with integrated sound... The manufacturer only says that it is AC97 compliant.
[11:32] <speedy> crimsun, i guess i missed "aptitude -y install ubuntu-standard ubuntu-desktop"
[11:32] <gnomefreak> martii, first off you language is uncalled for 2nd if you help develop for ubuntu you would know not to touch dapper unless you were working with it
[11:32] <madewokherd> ls: /proc/bus/usb/devices: No such file or directory <-- is that normal?
[11:32] <sorush20> I can seee a perfectly formed preview thumbnail of an image but when I click to see th elasrger version the image is corrupted.. any help please
[11:32] <sethk> cactii, use lspci to find out what it is
[11:32] <crimsun> speedy: ubuntu-desktop is all that's necessary
[11:32] <Blippe> Stork, that is correct!
[11:32] <Stork> orly?
[11:32] <Cythril> ya rly
[11:32] <omerix_> i can't play mp3 files
[11:33] <omerix_> There were no decoders found to handle the stream, you might need to install the corresponding plugins
[11:33] <omerix_> what sholud i do
[11:33] <tkup> I have tried all keyboard combinations that I found in forums and elsewhere to get this iMac to boot from the ubuntu ppc cds. The only CD that's able to boot from is the osx one. I have tried burning different CDs myself, but none it worked. Is there a catch?
[11:33] <mjr> !tell omerix_ about mp3
[11:33] <cactii> sethk, It doesn't...
[11:33] <martii> gnomefreak: I like experiment just for fun
[11:33] <speedy> crimsun, when i execute it now it says no packages will be installed, as if i installed everything required, and i did that with base-config new
[11:33] <PuMpErNiCkLe> tkup: Do you have an oldworld mac or a newworld mac?
[11:33] <martii> gnomefreak: I don;t expect it to be stable
[11:33] <Stork> i wish i could partition
[11:33] <crimsun> speedy: ok, then you need to create audio and add yourself to it
[11:33] <gnomefreak> martii, thats up to you if you want to do it
[11:33] <omerix_> sound is working but , ubuntu doesn't open mp3, wmv,  files
[11:33] <Kovecses> Chris_Tucker, i think you are looking for libgtk2.0-dev
[11:34] <martii> gnomefreak: just preffer fresh install instead of upgrade using apt
[11:34] <gnomefreak> martii, ive had dapper last month
[11:34] <omerix_> i tired in amarok, totem
[11:34] <tkup> PuMpErNiCkLe, imac g3 233mhz it originally came with debian on it but installed osx and now I want it on ubuntu
[11:34] <Kovecses> Chris_Tucker, i know it says 2.0 but it is rally 2.85
[11:34] <cactii> sethk, It doesn't...However it lists a bunch of ATI Technologies unknown devices though....
[11:34] <gnomefreak> i know the issues you will have with it
[11:34] <fluvvell> !mp3
[11:34] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, mp3 is a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[11:34] <gnomefreak> i know what packages are broken
[11:34] <gnomefreak> this is why i warn first
[11:34] <Chris_Tucker> Kovecses, thanks, i'll try that right away
[11:34] <Brian111> hey, anyone here that can help me with ndiswrapper?
[11:34] <PuMpErNiCkLe> tkup: Newworld, then, I think... shouldn't be a problem, anyway.
[11:34] <Brian111> i can't seem to compile it
[11:34] <Brian111> im using the amd64 kernel;
[11:34] <Martini> crimsun: I have 3Com Etherlink II ISA
[11:35] <fluvvell> ubotu tell omerix_ about mp3
[11:35] <mjr> Martini, you might be out of luck, at least my Ubuntu-shipped 2.6 kernel doesn't support 3com isa cards anymore. (And I mean the support is not there, even configurable)
[11:35] <martii> gnomefreak: there is already flight2 available
[11:35] <speedy> crimsun, stupid me! am sorry, group audio exists, i was looking for group sound!
[11:35] <sethk> cactii, it would say "multimedia" device, even for an unknown device
[11:35] <martii> gnomefreak: so I think it sould be not that bad
[11:35] <sethk> cactii, are you sure it isn't disabled in the bios?
[11:35] <Steven_M> I am in need of a sudo expert.
[11:35] <crimsun> speedy: heh, thought so.
[11:35] <tkup> PuMpErNiCkLe, so why doesn't it boot from the ubuntu cds?
[11:35] <gnomefreak> yes i know martii flight 3 will be out this week
[11:35] <gnomefreak> should be
[11:35] <crimsun> Martini: sudo modprobe 3c503
[11:35] <Brian111> any clue anyone?
[11:35] <Cythril> I've used Synaptic to install the IRC program BitchX, but when I go to my applications taskbar thing, it isn't there, and when I go to run Application it doesn't show up in the list of known applications.
[11:35] <PuMpErNiCkLe> tkup: No clue - it should. :>
[11:35] <Kovecses> Steven_M, whats up with sudo
[11:35] <mjr> Martini, hmh, back up a bit, the driver does seem to be present, so it might just not be compilable for amd64 :] 
[11:35] <PuMpErNiCkLe> brb, testing BZflag...
[11:35] <cactii> 0000:00:14.5 Multimedia audio controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4 370 (rev 02)... haha, ok so it does...
[11:36] <mjr> (which is what I have)
[11:36] <fluvvell> Steven_M, how expert do you need?
[11:36] <Brian111> just type the command cythril into a terminal
[11:36] <Brian111> that should open it
[11:36] <gnomefreak> Cythril, in terminal type bitchx
[11:36] <Cythril> What's the command?  bitchx?
[11:36] <Brian111> yeah should be
[11:36] <psusi> cyphase, bitchx is a command line irc client
[11:36] <gnomefreak> if its bitchx-gtk use xbitchx
[11:36] <Cythril> Oh, I have to run it in the command line?
[11:36] <gnomefreak> yes Cythril
[11:36] <lsuactiafner> i love bx
[11:36] <gnomefreak> yes
[11:36] <Steven_M> typing out the question
[11:36] <Cythril> Alrighty, that's why I was confused then. :)
[11:36] <crimsun> cactii: sudo modprobe snd-atiixp
[11:36] <Kovecses> it may be Bitchx
[11:36] <lsuactiafner> but i irc from console
[11:36] <gnomefreak> if you create a launcher you can run it from icon :)
[11:36] <Brian111> anyone know anything about compililng ndiswrapper from source?
[11:37] <Kovecses> irssi is better than bitchx
[11:37] <speedy> brb
[11:37] <gnomefreak> Kovecses, all depends on what you like :)
[11:37] <Kovecses> gnomefreak, true ... i still use xchat
[11:37] <gnomefreak> me too
[11:37] <gnomefreak> lol
[11:37] <gnomefreak> its easier
[11:37] <Kovecses> yup
[11:38] <Martini> mjr: I have no amd64
[11:38] <Kovecses> as far as console irc... irssi rules
[11:38] <dogred> Hey all,  just started into Ubuntu via VMware and am having a heck of a time getting firefox 1.5 installed.  I read on anandtech forums that 1.5 isn't possible on U5.10 currently
[11:38] <cactii> crimsun, did that...there was no output from that command. Should I reboot or something ;) hehehe
[11:38] <dogred> looking to get some more information if I can
[11:38] <crimsun> cactii: good, now cat /proc/asound/cards
[11:38] <Kovecses> dogred, download it from the website and run it
[11:39] <mjr> Martini, yeah, listen to crimsun
[11:39] <Kovecses> dogred, its that easy
[11:39] <Brian111> no one has a clue i guess?
[11:39] <dogred> I've downloaded it, and extracted the files...but when I try to run the sh file...nothing happens
[11:39] <Kovecses> dogred, really
[11:39] <Kovecses> dogred, works great here
[11:39] <dogred> hmm
[11:39] <cactii> cactii@Cactii-Net:~/alsa-utils-1.0.10/alsaconf$ cat /proc/asound/cards
[11:39] <cactii> 0 [IXP            ] : ATIIXP - ATI IXP
[11:39] <cactii>                      ATI IXP rev 2 with unknown codec at 0xc0503400, irq 17
[11:39] <crimsun> Brian111: not all of us have read your question. Please be patient.
[11:39] <Kovecses> dogred, run the firefox file
[11:39] <Stormx2> !ndiswrapper
[11:39] <ubotu> I guess ndiswrapper is a way to support Windows wireless drivers, but it is buggy compared to native support. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToSetUpNdiswrapper
[11:40] <crimsun> cactii: good, now pastebin the output from amixer
[11:40] <Kovecses> dogred, the one without extensions
[11:40] <Stork> anyone know why my sound quality is bad on ubuntu?
[11:40] <cactii> Crimsun, ummm... sorry??? Do what?
[11:40] <Kovecses> Stork, is it scratchy?
[11:40] <dogred> Kov...just tried.  nadda.
[11:40] <crimsun> cactii: take the output from ``amixer'' and paste it onto the pastebin Web site
[11:40] <Brian111> well, i just figured it was way up there
[11:40] <Martini> crimsun: my result is - No such device or address
[11:40] <crimsun> !tell cactii about pastebin
[11:41] <gnomefreak> ha that time it worked b:)
[11:41] <Stork> Kovecses, yeah, when the volume gets loud
[11:41] <crimsun> Martini: from the modprobe?
[11:41] <dogred> I double click...a dialog comes up and I click the 'run' button...and nothing happens
[11:41] <Martini> crimsun: maybe I should install ISApnptools?
[11:41] <crimsun> Martini: you're positive it's a II and not a III?
[11:41] <cyphase> psusi, i'm guessing you didn't mean me..
[11:41] <Martini> crimsun: Yes
[11:41] <sethk> cactii, you can use google to turn those numbers into useful information.  one is the manufacture id (which we already know is ati) and the other is the product id
[11:41] <Stork> Kovecses, any ideas?
[11:42] <cactii> crimsun, how do I get the output from amimixer?
[11:42] <Kovecses> Stork, open volume control and turn down all channels that dont effect sound... only one channel needs to be up for sound to work... like if i turn up alot of channels my sound will be horrible
[11:42] <crimsun> cactii: you type amixer
[11:42] <cactii> ok sethk
[11:42] <Martini> crimsun: I think yes but what should I modprobe if it's a III?
[11:43] <crimsun> Martini: 3c509
[11:43] <Kovecses> Stork, also what sound app are you using
[11:43] <cactii> thanks
[11:43] <cactii> sorry ;)
[11:43] <Stork> Kovecses, so just Master should be on full?
[11:43] <Steven_M> I really want to know whether running "sudo su -" and running "sudo -i" are exaxtly the same.
[11:43] <deefzi> when i want to use "universe"-packets, do i just replace the "breezy-updates main restricted" with what? "breezy-updates universe restricted"?
[11:43] <Kovecses> Stork, maybe.... it tends to be differnent with different cards
[11:43] <deefzi> oh wait, nevermind.
[11:44] <crimsun> Steven_M: no, they're not.
[11:44] <crimsun> Steven_M: sudo -s ==> su   whereas sudo -i ==> su -
[11:44] <set> !mp3
[11:44] <ubotu> well, mp3 is a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[11:44] <crimsun> Steven_M: of course man sudo tells you such
[11:45] <cactii> ok so I poseted it to pastebin... using my nickname... but with a CAPITAL c. :D
[11:45] <Richard> hi dose ne 1 know how i would have axcess to my ntfs drive with out haveing to type sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222 every time i reboot?
[11:45] <menko> hi, how do I disable the animation in the UI?
[11:45] <Brian111> !wifi
[11:45] <ubotu> well, wifi is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WiFiHowto
[11:45] <Kovecses> menko, animation?
[11:45] <crimsun> Steven_M: to make it more precise, sudo -i is preferred over sudo su - because there's no race
[11:46] <gnomefreak> brb
[11:46] <_jason> menko, try /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources in system tools-> configuration editor
[11:46] <firebird> Richard, you can use sudo vi /etc/fstab and change 'defaults' for the ntfs drives to 'umask=0' to have full access
[11:46] <cactii> crimsun, I pasted it to pastebin... using my nickname... with a Capital C...
[11:46] <eZe> hi, i'm having trouble copzing and pasting files
[11:46] <crimsun> cactii: next time please provide a url
[11:47] <fluvvell> crimsun: what do you mean race?
[11:47] <set> crimsun! now I remember who you were
[11:47] <cactii> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7156
[11:47] <cactii> ok
[11:47] <Stork> Kovecses, didn't help
[11:47] <Richard> and will that mean that the user u do that under will never have to do that again after reboot?
[11:47] <Brian111> alright, is there a package premade for amd64 for ndiswrapper  1.7??
[11:47] <Kovecses> Stork, what card again sorry
[11:47] <crimsun> fluvvell: imagine the situation where you can't verify su hasn't been compromised
[11:47] <Brian111> !packages
[11:47] <ubotu> You can browse the packages in the Ubuntu repositories from http://packages.ubuntu.com
[11:47] <Stork> Kovecses, it's in mobo
[11:47] <firebird> it means that it's available to every user after reboot... if you want more strict security options, you can change it to something else in fstab of course :)
[11:48] <crimsun> fluvvell: granted, a rather corner case, but that's one of the reasons sudo exists
[11:48] <Kovecses> Stork, and the mobo?
[11:48] <fluvvell> crimsun, ok
[11:48] <CactusWiZaRd> now i think i installed Firefox 1.5 successfully, and did all what Ubuntu Wiki told to, but the last command wont stay(firefox %s)
[11:48] <steve_> what cd burner should I use with ubuntu, is there any in apt-get?
[11:48] <CactusWiZaRd> what should i do?
[11:48] <Kovecses> Stork, did you even try to google it
[11:48] <Martini> crimsun: Thank you ever so much. A few letters and ISA appears. I owe you a beer!
[11:48] <Stork> Kovecses, a8n5x
[11:48] <deefzi> Wibble-_, hey, thanks for the tip. the lesstif2 found from universe-packets and opera's not nagging me anymore!
[11:48] <crimsun> Martini: so it /is/ a III?
[11:48] <eZe> is it possible to copy from the dektop and paste in some folder?
[11:48] <Stork> Kovecses, yes, but i can't figfure out appropriate search terms
[11:48] <majd> isn't gimpshop available for ubuntu?
[11:49] <fluvvell> crimsun, of course root login would need to be enabled to allow su  eg. ubuntu
[11:49] <_jason> CactusWiZaRd, what do you mean won't stay
[11:49] <Martini> crimsun: I think so because now it's working
[11:49] <crimsun> Martini: heh, thought so. IIs are fairly rare these days.
[11:49] <eZe> is it possible to copy something from the dektop and paste it in some folder?
[11:49] <Steven_M> crimsun: I was talking about su - is it the same as sudo -i?
[11:49] <_jason> eZe, yes
[11:50] <menko> anyone know how to disable window , application launch etc. animation?
[11:50] <crimsun> Steven_M: read my explanation regarding the race
[11:50] <_jason> menko, did you try what I said?
[11:50] <eZe> could there be zome reason why it isn't working for me?
[11:50] <Richard> will that make it so that the user can still axcess it after reboot with out havein to do a thinkg?
[11:50] <Stork> god this is annoying
[11:50] <cactii> crimsun, should my sound work now???
[11:50] <fluvvell> Steven_M, if you can't login as root then su - will not work
[11:50] <Kovecses> Stork, paste ... lspci ... somewhere
[11:50] <crimsun> Steven_M: and you can pretty much answer whether it's the same (it isn't, but you might argue that the end effect is remarkably similar)
[11:50] <Stork> you think a reformat would fix it?
[11:50] <firebird> Richard, yes
[11:51] <Richard> thanks
[11:51] <firebird> eZe, maybe you don't have access to the folder where you want to copy the files to?
[11:51] <crimsun> cactii: yes
[11:51] <menko> sorry _jason, I didn't see what you said. I'm not used to xchat... sorry... I'll try that
[11:51] <crimsun> cactii: try aplay /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav
[11:51] <eZe> it is the theme folder
[11:51] <fluvvell> Steven_M, whereas sudo -i will work if you are in the admin group (if you are the only user in ubuntu, this is normally the case)
[11:51] <Kovecses> Stork, paste ... lspci ... somewhere
[11:51] <CactusWiZaRd> _jason i don't really know how to explain
[11:51] <firebird> eZe, you mean /user/share/themes ?
[11:51] <eZe> zes
[11:51] <Kovecses> Stork, paste ... lspci ... somewhere
[11:51] <eZe> yes
[11:52] <_jason> CactusWiZaRd, what do you do and what happens
[11:52] <Stork> Kovecses, http://pastebin.com/506000
[11:52] <Kovecses> cool
[11:52] <Martini> crimsun: It seems all ISA cards are rare used nowadays. At least I think so.
[11:52] <_jason> eZe, why do you want to copy there?
[11:52] <crimsun> Martini: I still use a slew of IIIs
[11:52] <firebird> eZe, you don't have access to that map as a normal user, that's the reason why it doesn't work
[11:53] <Kovecses> Stork, accourding to that your mobo is nVidia?
[11:53] <rabbit> Does Ubuntu come with Thunderbird??    there's instructions in the help "tips and tricks" on how to change it's icons
[11:53] <_jason> eZe, are you trying to install a theme you download from maybe gnome-look.org?
[11:53] <Stork> Kovecses, it has a nvidia chipset (whatever that means :p)
[11:53] <w00t> hi, i'm on ubuntu dapper, i know its bleeding edge and i have to expect errors, but anyway, maybe there's a workaround for this, automounting of external media doesn't work, my first thought was that gnome-volume-manager isn't working correctly, but then i noticed that pmount-hal /dev/sda2 also doesn't work for ipod when i plug it in, only pmount /dev/sda2 works, so i think maybe HAL isn't working correctly
[11:53] <cactii> crimsun, ok... did that like 3 times... it says that it is playing... but there is no audible output.
[11:53] <eZe> yes, that's what i'm trying to do
[11:53] <w00t> anyone who experiences this too?
[11:53] <_jason> rabbit, you can install thunderbird with synaptic
[11:53] <Steven_M> crimsun: I don't know want you mean by race.
[11:53] <Kovecses> Stork, lol.... this is gonna be a long day
[11:54] <cactii> crimsun, I also checked to make sure nothing was muted and volume was up too...
[11:54] <rabbit> _jason, okay..   but it will have different icons I guess?  I'm just curious why those instructions are there..  but it's ok
[11:54] <CactusWiZaRd> _jason https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion?highlight=%28Mozilla%29%7C%28Firefox%29, the last section with firefox %s
[11:54] <clearscreen> hi
[11:54] <springaleek> hello
[11:54] <crimsun> Steven_M: scroll up to 7 minutes ago
[11:54] <theverant> any ideas why udevstart is returning invalid command in Dapper?
[11:54] <clearscreen> just a little question :P is there proper nForce 4 support in the latest 5.10 release?
[11:54] <Stork> Kovecses, do i need to install the nvidia kernel?
[11:54] <Kovecses> Stork, is there an nvidia kernel... wow
[11:54] <crimsun> theverant: 2.6.15-11.16 or 2.6.15-12.17?
[11:55] <_jason> eZe, go to system -> preferences -> Theme.  Then just drag and drop your theme file into the window
[11:55] <theverant> crimsun - how do I check?
[11:55] <rabbit> does anyone know how to specify a non default port when using nautilus for ssh ???    here's what I've got:    ssh://username@ssh.server.com
[11:55] <_jason> CactusWiZaRd, yes, you open up the preferred apps and enter it.  How does it disappear?
[11:55] <eZe> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=24229 for example this theme, the theme mangar won't accept it because it is a zip, and not a tar
[11:55] <crimsun> theverant: well, where are you getting the udevstart error?
[11:55] <Stork> Kovecses, i'm a noob at linux.
[11:55] <theverant> trying to run it in the shell
[11:55] <Sammi> Jeeze, alot of people asking questions.
[11:55] <Martini> crimsun: Minus for ISA is that it' s slow - only 10 Mbps
[11:56] <theverant> I just changed some udev scripts and want the changes to take effect, I read I have to do udevstart for that
[11:56] <Sammi> I don't suppose anyone could help? I have netgear wireless, wondering how I pop it on ubuntu
[11:56] <cactii> crimsun, before I added i810_audio into /etc/modules... should I remove that, could that be a problem? and then how do I unload that module without rebooting???
[11:56] <Kovecses> Stork, sounds like your a computer noob alltogether
[11:56] <JaZy84> what app will burn a ccd/img ?
[11:56] <dfgas> anyone use xmame?
[11:56] <_jason> CactusWiZaRd, if you set it and pressed close you should be good to go, even if it goes back to say firefox up top.
[11:56] <crimsun> cactii: ARGH. Yes, that's the problem.
[11:56] <Stork> Kovecses, yeah, i built it
[11:56] <Kovecses> Stork, not that thats a bad thing
[11:57] <cactii> ;)
[11:57] <Kovecses> Stork, you built your own pc but dont know what a chipset is?
[11:57] <CactusWiZaRd> _jason, oh
[11:57] <Stork> yep
[11:57] <sneedes> Could anyone provide any insight into getting a Promise FasTrak TX2300 & SATA disk working with Ubuntu?
[11:57] <crimsun> cactii: remove it from /etc/modules, unload it and snd-atiixp, and then reload snd-atiixp
[11:57] <cactii> How do I unload and reload???
[11:57] <cactii> and crimsun at least I had the sense to tell you :P
[11:57] <_jason> eZe, let me download it and see
[11:57] <eZe> thanks
[11:58] <crimsun> cactii: sudo modprobe -r i810_audio snd_atiixp && sudo modprobe snd-atiixp
[11:58] <Sammi> Can someone tell me if it's possible to install netgear onto ubuntu, and if yes, how?
[11:58] <crimsun> Sammi: a Netgear /what/?
[11:58] <cactii> ok...well.. I gedited it out...
[11:58] <steve_> !cdburner

[11:58] <steve_> What program do i burn cds with?
[11:58] <Sammi> Yes
[11:58] <rabbit> does anyone know how to specify a non default port when using nautilus for ssh ???    here's what I've got:    ssh://username@ssh.server.com
[11:58] <Sammi> My mind kind of sliped
[11:58] <crimsun> Sammi: more than likely, yes. Check the wiki.
[11:59] <JaZy84> steve_,  k3b is a good one
[11:59] <Sammi> Oh, thanks, link me?
[11:59] <Stormx2> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=643063 <-- Could someone help with an SVN problem

[11:59] <crimsun> Sammi: Use the search feature of wiki.ubuntu.com
[11:59] <JaZy84> is there a way to mount the imgs? hrm i wonder
[11:59] <Kovecses> JaZy84, yes it will
[11:59] <Sammi> Thanks for the help Crimson.
[11:59] <JaZy84> it tells me that it is an invalid img
