[12:00] <LjL> ubuntuking: if you try "sudo -i", you'll see that it puts you in the /root directory, instead of leaving you in your current directory
[12:00] <gnomefreak> its a depends of one of the packages :(
[12:00] <SirKillalot> soundray, and "LANG"?
[12:00] <SirKillalot> soundray, thats probably the charset, right?
[12:00] <SirKillalot> de_DE@euro
[12:00] <__mikem> LjL yes it does
[12:00] <LjL> ubuntuking: also, i think "sudo -s" would be very similar to "sudo su"
[12:01] <soundray> SirKillalot: I've set that to en_IE@euro because it's English and still has the Euro char ;)
[12:01] <gnomefreak> sudo -s is for graphical apps isnt it?
[12:01] <SirKillalot> soundray, do you have ?
[12:01] <LjL> gnomefreak: uhm... perhaps it has a use for them, i wouldn't know
[12:01] <ooazzaoo> are the breezy repositories messed up?
[12:01] <LjL> gnomefreak: but "-s" simply opens a shell
[12:01] <SirKillalot> ISO-8859-15
[12:01] <V4Vendetta> The -S (stdin) option causes sudo to read the password from the
[12:01] <V4Vendetta>            standard input instead of the terminal device.
[12:01] <gnomefreak> LjL: i know sudo -i wont open gui apps
[12:01] <__mikem> LjL I checked it, yes it has Load "glx" in there
[12:01] <roulet_> salut,je debute sous linux et j'ai besoin d'un peu d'aide,quelqu'un a une minute ?
[12:01] <Madpilot> ooazzaoo, the us. & ca. ones have been - which are you using?
[12:01] <soundray> SirKillalot: with my GB keyboard, only through combinations.
[12:01] <LjL> __mikem: then i don't know
[12:01] <LjL> !fr
[12:01] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[12:01] <SirKillalot> soundray, I'll have to reboot my system, right?
[12:02] <nullmind> I am new to linux (sorry), and I need help with my notebook touchpad movement sensitivity
[12:02] <johndarkhorse> roulet_: /j #ubuntu-fr  s'il vous plait
[12:02] <V4Vendetta> SirKillalot~ no.. this is linux
[12:02] <ooazzaoo> Madpilot: US
[12:02] <SirKillalot> V4Vendetta, really?
[12:02] <SirKillalot> -.-
[12:02] <SirKillalot> I tried to open new session, that didnt work
[12:02] <nullmind> The mouse moves way too fast, and the applet options don't seem to change anything
[12:02] <Madpilot> ooazzaoo, try editing your sources.list to remove all the "us." bits, see if that works
[12:02] <IdleOne> SirKillalot>  it is rare you need to reboot in linux
[12:02] <roulet_> merci
[12:02] <ooazzaoo> Madpilot: thanks i'll give it a shot
[12:02] <soundray> SirKillalot: probably easiest, but you could also run /etc/init.d/keymap.sh and /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh
[12:03] <soundray> SirKillalot: and whatever comes out when you grep -l environment /etc/init.d/*
[12:03] <betao1> algum brasileiro?
[12:04] <ooazzaoo> Madpilot: works now.. thank you
[12:04] <SirKillalot> soundray, sorry, It worked
[12:04] <Madpilot> ooazzaoo, np
[12:04] <SirKillalot> I really had to start a new tty session
[12:04] <soundray> nullmind: is it a Synaptics touchpad?
[12:04] <IdleOne> !br
[12:04] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br (/j #ubuntu-br) para ajuda em portugues. Obrigada.
[12:04] <SirKillalot> just closing xterm and restarting it didnt help
[12:04] <SirKillalot> thought that would work like the .bashrc changes or something
[12:04] <SirKillalot> soundray, thank you
[12:04] <soundray> SirKillalot: it's possible that aptitude will still speak German to you.
[12:05] <tritium> SirKillalot: you need to source your .bashrc if you don't want to close your xterm
[12:05] <soundray> SirKillalot: haven't bothered to find out how to change that.
[12:05] <SirKillalot> soundray, no it worked
[12:05] <SirKillalot> as I said, just in the new tty session
[12:06] <soundray> SirKillalot: oh, well done.
[12:06] <soundray> SirKillalot: even aptitude?
[12:06] <SirKillalot> yep :)
[12:06] <tk401> does anyone know how to add items to the right click menu in gnome?
[12:07] <nullmind> soundray: Yes it's synaptics
[12:07] <Jimmer> i added a new monitor, how do i update configuration ?
[12:09] <soundray> nullmind, you probably have a package called xserver-xorg-input-synaptics. It contains a driver for the touchpad and can be configured through /etc/X11/xorg.conf . How to do this is explained in a readme file in /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/
[12:09] <tritium> nullmind: are you sure it's synaptics, and not ALPS?
[12:09] <nullmind> okay, I'll go read that
[12:09] <soundray> nullmind, oops, if you are on breezy, the name will be different.
[12:09] <nullmind> when I was running windows it showed up as a Synaptics
[12:10] <soundray> nullmind, xorg-driver-synaptics
[12:10] <nullmind> whats the difference between Ubuntu and "breezy"
[12:10] <nullmind> I just got tired of windows and started using Ubuntu a week ago
[12:10] <LjL> nullmind: Breezy is the current Ubuntu version
[12:10] <soundray> nullmind, breezy (Breezy Badger) is version 5.10 on ubuntu.
[12:10] <LjL> nullmind: ubuntu versions have nicknames
[12:10] <gnomefreak> ubuntu linux version breezy badger 5.10
[12:10] <soundray> *of
[12:10] <Xoritor> breezy is the codename for the version
[12:10] <nullmind> I think I have version 5.something
[12:10] <Xoritor> like ^ they all sait
[12:10] <Jeeva> nullman: start with FreeBSD :P
[12:10] <nullmind> I am a developer (don't laugh.. lol)
[12:10] <Xoritor> s/sait/said
[12:10] <johndarkhorse> nullmind: ubuntu is a distribution of linux. breezy is a developemental code name for the current stable release
[12:10] <tritium> nullmind: you can "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" to find out
[12:11] <ubuntu> xD I installed Solaris 10 and can not boot my Linux partition from it's grub!
[12:11] <wastrel> tschuss
[12:11] <gilianima> is it possible to upgrade an ubuntu installed on a hard drive with aptitude from a knoppix ?
[12:11] <nullmind> I did download the lastest ISO release
[12:11] <ubuntu> The worse is that I don't know how to config my wireless on Solaris, their devices names are really weird
[12:11] <nullmind> how do I configure the synaptics driver?
[12:12] <nullmind> (yeah, I will be bugging you guys about my wireless adapter soon too)
[12:12] <soundray> nullmind: I just told you, it's explained in detail in the readme files.
[12:12] <nullmind> okay
[12:12] <soundray> nullmind: if the ubuntu default hasn't worked for you, it will probably take some playing around.
[12:12] <nullmind> well this brings me to another issue
[12:12] <nullmind> I'm fine with that
[12:12] <__mikem> I have another problem, when I type glxgears I get the following output Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[12:12] <__mikem> Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
[12:13] <soundray> nullmind: you may also be lucky and find an installation report for your machine on the web.
[12:13] <abes> hey... I have a problem with my motorola wi-fi - ubuntu detects it in the device menager (as PCI, although it is PCMCIA) and also no LEDs on the card come up... Any suggestions?
[12:13] <nullmind> I'm using Gnome (default ubuntu window manager, right?) and now all my directory browsing is messed up
[12:13] <soundray> nullmind: where they solved the prob.
[12:13] <SirKillalot> do you know a program which can replace all '_' with a ' ' in a bunch of mp3 id3 tags?
[12:13] <nullmind> basically each folder opens in a new window
[12:13] <tritium> SirKillalot: easytag is one
[12:13] <nullmind> and it's really crappy
[12:13] <nullmind> soundray: I searched for my notebook model, I didn't find anything yet
[12:13] <^rob> nullmind: the last stable version has that disabled
[12:13] <tritium> nullmind: that's easily changed in the preferences
[12:14] <^rob> nullmind: so check under preferences
[12:14] <nullmind> what preferences though, I checked all the window related stuff
[12:14] <tritium> Behavior tab
[12:15] <nullmind> I have that box unchecked
[12:15] <soundray> tritium, wow, it's called "Behaviour" here ;)  Very thoroughly britishified.
[12:15] <nullmind> "always open in browser windows", but it still opens in new windows
[12:15] <dabaR> I have learned a word today.
[12:16] <nullmind> and I don't have a toolbar
[12:16] <wastrel> nullman:  that is configured in the gconf editor.
[12:16] <wastrel> nullmind:  ^^
[12:16] <nullmind> gconf?
[12:16] <tritium> soundray: yeah, and this Xchat-gnome's color preferences tab spells it "colour", even here :(
[12:16] <majd> Hello
[12:16] <wastrel> nullmind:  applications->system tools->configuration editor   apps, nautilus, preferences
[12:17] <wastrel> nullmind:  scroll to the bottom "window always open new"
[12:17] <majd> is there a way to open programs as sudo in the applications menu?
[12:17] <wastrel> mmm welcome to the gnome registry
[12:17] <nullmind> wastrel: thanks
[12:17] <soundray> tritium, that's all right, now, isn't it, mate? ;)
[12:17] <nullmind> I don't see the "windows always open new" option
[12:17] <tritium> soundray: it has an extra letter ;)
[12:18] <abes> how can you restart the PCMCIA?
[12:18] <nullmind> okay
[12:18] <markk^> what is the default root password for a new install?
[12:18] <nullmind> I did a search in the Config Editor
[12:18] <tritium> !tell markk^about root
[12:18] <nullmind> and found open_new_window and set to false
[12:19] <markk^> my nick is not regged, hold on
[12:19] <soundray> nullmind, if you really want to get into Linux, do it via the command line. ubotu pm to follow...
[12:19] <soundray> !tell nullmind about cli
[12:19] <markk> !tell markk about root
[12:20] <basbryan> !tell basbryan about cli
[12:20] <gnomefreak> !msg the bot
[12:20] <ubotu> Please message the bot (me) in private, more info about the bot: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[12:20] <tritium> soundray: "mate" is another one of those words that has a _completely_ different meaning here
[12:20] <h3rn4n> which is the ubuntu espanish channel?
[12:20] <tritium> !es
[12:20] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[12:20] <gnomefreak> !es
[12:20] <mcmillen> this is probably a silly question, but how can i tell which version of ubuntu i'm running (breezy,dapper,etc)?
[12:20] <h3rn4n> thanks
[12:20] <tonyyarusso> mcmillen: 'cat /etc/issue'
[12:20] <brenner> mcmillen: cat /etc/issue
[12:21] <mcmillen> thank you :)
[12:21] <soundray> tritium: oh, a source of misunderstanding, like "keep your pecker up"? (pecker = nose)
[12:21] <gnomefreak> mcmillen: lsb_release -a
[12:21] <tritium> soundray: glad you clarified that meaning in parentheses ;)
[12:22] <soundray> tritium: I better shut up now ;)
[12:22] <tritium> heh
[12:23] <Madpilot> soundray, isn't English fun? :P
[12:23] <sHaDe> n8 all
[12:23] <odat> anyone able to decifer something for me?
[12:24] <odat> i am page   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FakeRaidHowto?highlight=%28fakeraid%29
[12:24] <abes> is there any way to restart PCMCIA?
[12:24] <soundray> Madpilot: yes, a source of enjoyment, amusement and pleasure ;)
[12:24] <odat> i need to know what they mean my cpu arch
[12:24] <odat> cp /lib/grub/<your-cpu-arch>-pc/stage1 /boot/grub/
[12:24] <tritium> soundray: when I was young, and hadn't read the lyrics, I thought Pink Floyd sang "no docks of hazzum in the claws room"
[12:24] <brenner> soundray: people actually say that?
[12:25] <soundray> brenner, http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=fun&gwp=13
[12:25] <gnomefreak> odat: uname -r will give you 386 686 k7 so on
[12:26] <soundray> tritium: may I quote you on that?
[12:26] <ITS_FOR_REAL> i can email with evolution but not if i type - echo "test" | mail test@bredband.net  OR if i try to use the php script on my webserver.. what can be wrong then?
[12:26] <tritium> soundray: be my guest :)
[12:27] <s|k> hrm
[12:27] <markk> this is a new install and i am new to liux and ubuntu, how do i cofigure x  for my hardware?
[12:27] <Seveas> ITS_FOR_REAL, install an MTA like postfix
[12:27] <V4Vendetta> markk~ ati or nvidia card?
[12:27] <gnomefreak> markk: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:27] <markk> ati
[12:27] <V4Vendetta> !ati
[12:27] <ubotu> I guess ati is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10 or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=423589
[12:27] <ITS_FOR_REAL> Seveas, i already installed that but maybe i got problems understanding how to configure it
[12:28] <brenner> markk: is there a specific problem/issue?
[12:28] <Avid> hmm why partition setup doesnt show before running this gnome?
[12:28] <gnomefreak> Avid: you mean grub?
[12:28] <tritium> soundray: in what form of media?  maybe I should have denied your request ;)
[12:29] <Avid> gnomefreak: I mean partition table setup, and also grub.
[12:29] <pschulz01_> Greetings.. I'm having problems installing 5.10 on a HP xw4300 Workstation.
[12:29] <soundray> tritium: I was thinking about a simultaneous Blimp ad over San Francisco, CA and London, England ;)
[12:29] <gut> DCC SEND "(#MATH-SAYS_FUCK_YOU-#MATHSAYS_FUCK_YOU-#MATHSAYS_FUCK_YOU)" 0 0 0
[12:30] <pschulz01_> With both a downloaded CD and the 5.10 pressed cd.
[12:30] <V4Vendetta> wbat was tbat?
[12:30] <V4Vendetta> what was that?
[12:30] <tritium> a DCC exploit
[12:30] <gnomefreak> V4Vendetta: exploit
[12:30] <V4Vendetta> ahh..
[12:30] <ITS_FOR_REAL> Seveas,  u acnt help me any further? any howto in configuring postfix perhaps or what?
[12:30] <gnomefreak> they have been at it for 4 days or so
[12:31] <jt-socal> Who was exploited?
[12:31] <cello_rasp> gj #math
[12:31] <gnomefreak> the server
[12:31] <pschulz01_> With the pressed CD, I get as far as "Preparing installation". On of the other consoles (F4) has a scrolling display of "Should I go ahead and install the packages anyway?"
[12:31] <pschulz01_> The progress bar is stuck at 87%
[12:31] <Avid> gnomefreak: Do you have any ideas about it?
[12:32] <optish> How big should i make the / partition? I plan to have a separate /home, /boot and /tmp partitions as well.
[12:32] <gnomefreak> Avid: i dont know what you mean parttion table before gnome starts
[12:32] <johndarkhorse> optish: ~5gb
[12:32] <gnomefreak> after grub you should see boot splash than log-in page
[12:32] <soundray> Avid: are you running the live CD perhaps?
[12:32] <Avid> yes
[12:33] <gnomefreak> that would be a good reason
[12:33] <V4Vendetta> is it possible to put home on a seperate partition after ubuntu has been installed, because all my stuff is one partition now.
[12:33] <gnomefreak> Avid: you shouldnt see grub with live cd
[12:33] <soundray> Avid: the live CD is not for partitioning and installing (unless you got a prerelease version).
[12:33] <optish> johndarkhorse, okay and what about /tmp is 2Gb enough for that?
[12:33] <gnomefreak> ill bbl dinner time
[12:33] <pschulz01_> The downloaded CDROM get's furst (installs) but after logging in, the display simple shows a blank (brown) desktop.
[12:33] <Avid> Oh, ic.
[12:34] <soundray> V4Vendetta: yes. Do you have a partition to put /home on already?
[12:34] <Avid> soundray, thanks :)
[12:34] <V4Vendetta> soundray~ no i just have the big one, and one for swap
[12:35] <V4Vendetta> soundray~ but if i boot on a live-cd it always tells me i can't partition it because it's busy... but i always check and it's not mounted :-(
[12:35] <ITS_FOR_REAL> Seveas,  u acnt help me any further? any howto in configuring postfix perhaps or what?
[12:36] <odat> anyone ever do a fakeraid system?
[12:36] <jerryv> When i try to run wine cfg I'm getting this error:  wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\cfg.exe": Module not found
[12:36] <jerryv>   What do I do?
[12:36] <soundray> V4Vendetta: which program are you using from the live CD?
[12:36] <anacaona> hey y'all
[12:37] <LjL> jerryv: you mean "winecfg" perhaps?
[12:37] <V4Vendetta> soundray~ it's a knoppix boot cd, so qtparted
[12:37] <marlun> Is there any good calendar program for gnome except Evolution?
[12:37] <soundray> V4Vendetta: try running 'sudo swapoff' before you run qtparted.
[12:37] <s|k> I use a web based calender marlun  :/
[12:37] <tonyyarusso> marlun: Mozilla Calendar/Sunbird perhaps.
[12:37] <soundray> marlun: cal (command line).
[12:37] <V4Vendetta> soundray~ it always tells me the whole disk is busy /dev/sda1 is it.
[12:37] <marlun> nah, I want a graphial one ;P
[12:37] <V4Vendetta> soundray~ i try sudo umount /dev/sda1 but it isn't mounted
[12:38] <jerryv> LjL doh I thought the command had a space :(
[12:38] <marlun> Is Sunbird in the repositories?
[12:38] <LjL> jerryv: ;)
[12:38] <V4Vendetta> soundray~ if i come back here on live-cd can you assist me further?
[12:38] <brenner> marlun: gdeskcal
[12:38] <soundray> V4Vendetta: I think Knoppix uses the swap partition, unless you tell it not to with sudo swapoff.
[12:38] <V4Vendetta> soundray~ that could be the problem.. i'll boot into knoppix and try it
[12:39] <V4Vendetta> soundray~ how do i move my home to a new partition without causing damage
[12:39] <soundray> V4Vendetta: I really have to go now. There will be other people here who can help if you need it.
[12:39] <odat> anyone ever do a fakeraid system?
[12:39] <soundray> V4Vendetta: sec...
[12:39] <tonyyarusso> marlun: I don't see it separately, no.  Calendar is the same thing as an extension to Firefox/Thunderbird.
[12:39] <V4Vendetta> soundray~ okay thanks
[12:39] <brenner> pschulz01: what are your system specs?
[12:41] <markk> I have things fixed, thanks
[12:41] <soundray> V4Vendetta: when you've done the partitioning, reboot into knoppix again. Mount /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 (or whatever the new partition is called). Then copy the /home folder over with...
[12:42] <V4Vendetta> soundray~ how big should my non home partition be, and the home?
[12:43] <soundray> V4Vendetta: (cd /mnt/sda1/home && tar cf - . ) | (cd /mnt/sda2 && tar xvfp -) (This is a fairly safe way to copy a directory one-to-one with all links and stuff.)

[12:44] <anacaona> does anyone know if dapper is desktop safe?
[12:44] <soundray> V4Vendetta: I suggest you leave twenty to thirty gigabytes for ubuntu, and give the rest to home.
[12:44] <V4Vendetta> soundray~ okay sounds good, thanks
[12:44] <V4Vendetta> soundray~ gonna go try it
[12:45] <tonyyarusso> anacaona: Dapper questions are better answered in #ubuntu+1, fyi.

[12:46] <basbryan> 300-400GB isn't uncommon anymore...
[12:46] <soundray> basbryan: I should have told him to leave another 20-30 GB unpartitioned...

[12:48] <IdleOne> ifr> yes
[12:48] <soundray> ifr, that's right.
[12:49] <ifr> Thanks IdleOne and soundray. Is the server wanting to take traffic on like port 5900 or something?
[12:49] <ifr> (I'm thinking firewall settings)
[12:49] <IdleOne> ifr>  I dont know
[12:49] <soundray> ifr, yes, 5800 and 5900
[12:49] <ifr> Thanks soundray :)
[12:49] <brenner> daneth: 1st of all, what are you actually installing?
[12:49] <soundray> ifr: possibly 5801 and 5901, depending on your screen number.
[12:50] <misfit_toy> any suggestions for IDS software for an Ubuntu server?
[12:50] <soundray> brenner: he's taken care of.
[12:50] <brenner> ah
[12:51] <Madpilot> brenner, why were you ignoring the bot?
[12:51] <DJ_tobias> i just bought a pny geforce fx 5500 vid card and when i reboot it hangs at 'starting hotplug subsystem' how to i get past this?
[12:52] <brenner> Madpilot: b/c people seem to like using !<trigger>, instead of making ubotu send the info directly
[12:52] <anacaona> tonyyarusso: thanks, i'll try there
[12:53] <PuMpErNiCkLe> DJ_tobias: That's a problem with hotplug - it can't handle a system with an integrated graphics controller *and* a video card.  You should be able to skip that step by hitting ctrl + c when it gets there in the boot process.  There are a couple ways to disable it - you can try the hotplug blacklist to make it skip vid cards entirely, or just make /sbin/hotplug non-executable.  (When I had that problem, I did the
[12:53] <daneth> sorry, brenner im trying to install frostwire but im completely lost in general when it comes to installing anything
[12:53] <IdleOne> brenner>  !trigger is usefull for ppl new to irc who dont know that they can receive priv msgs
[12:53] <Madpilot> brenner, sometimes that's easier; a lot of total newbies don't seem to grok being pm'd :P
[12:53] <brenner> daneth: don't apologise, i should have read the channel more carefully.  tonyyarusso was one step ahead of me
[12:54] <LjL> IdleOne: on the other hand, !trigger often also means people will skip the messages 'cause they don't get highlightet =(
[12:54] <DJ_tobias> PuMpErNiCkLe, thank you so much!
[12:54] <LjL> perhaps a !trigger where you can also mention a specific nickname would be best
[12:54] <PuMpErNiCkLe> DJ_tobias: np :)
[12:54] <IdleOne> LjL>  agreed but if you are asking for help on a subject you should be paying attention to everything going on or as much as possible
[12:55] <brenner> Madpilot, IdleOne: *nod*.  i was just trying it out.  it's just that i don't need to see the pastebin info every 10 minutes :)
[12:55] <Madpilot> LjL, there's a bot on one of the webdesign channels that takes !<tell> @ <nick> - useful
[12:55] <LjL> IdleOne: granted but in practice that doesn't always happen. you'll also have to admit that sometimes it's actually *hard* to follow the whole channel here
[12:55] <brenner> LjL: there is one: !tell <user> about <topic>
[12:55] <John00> i an new into the world of Linux, i am here to seek some advise on a matter which is causing fraustration at the moment, the problem is that i can not update my system no matter what actions i take, respositries seems fine to me, although i could be mistaken, could some one please help me to sort out this rather tedious problem so i can have a nice and peaceful sleep tonight
[12:56] <IdleOne> LjL>  yes sometimes it is ...there is a trigger @ nick !tell nickname about blahblah
[12:56] <LjL> brenner: but that sends a private message (is that what the other one does too madpilot?) - what we were saying is that many newbies can't read private messages
[12:56] <DJ_tobias> PuMpErNiCkLe, in /etc/hotplug/blacklist which lines do i edit out, it doesnt specify which is for vid ?
[12:56] <IdleOne> LjL>  hence the need for both public and private triggers :)
[12:56] <Madpilot> LjL, no, this bot (I think it's on #html) produces in-channel messages beginning with the commanded nick
[12:56] <V4Vendetta> question, in qtparted i have a 2.86GB partition that used to be swap, i want to resize it to 1.0GB and add the other space back into my main partition, but i dont' see an option to do this, anyone have any ideas?
[12:56] <PuMpErNiCkLe> DJ_tobias: I'm not sure - I didn't go that route.  There may be documentation online for it.
[12:57] <LjL> IdleOne: yeah but that still doesn't show the reply inside the channel, and newbies are left wondering what the heck that means, 'cause they don't know they have a private message :)
[12:57] <LjL> Madpilot: yep - that was exactly what i had in mind then
[12:57] <Madpilot> John00, can you pastebin your sources.list for us?
[12:57] <DJ_tobias> PuMpErNiCkLe, if i wanted to keep my sound going, i would have to have hotplug as an executable, yes?
[12:57] <PuMpErNiCkLe> DJ_tobias: http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/ <--- Hotplug homepage
[12:57] <brenner> LjL: part of the deal unfortunately.  i've seen people (and i've adopted) this style: "ubotu: tell <nick> about <subject>".  usually though, we still have to tell them to check their pms
[12:57] <IdleOne> im sure ubotu  can be programed to !trigger nick in public
[12:58] <V4Vendetta> question, in qtparted i have a 2.86GB partition that used to be swap, i want to resize it to 1.0GB and add the other space back into my main partition, but i dont' see an option to do this, anyone have any ideas?
[12:58] <PuMpErNiCkLe> DJ_tobias: Not necessarily, although it makes it a *lot* easier.
[12:58] <soundray> V4Vendetta: I suggest you leave the swap size as it is. If you insist that you want a smaller one, delete it and create a new one at the end of the space.
[12:58] <LjL> brenner: yeah... on the other hand, they need to learn about private messages sooner or later, so perhaps trying to "fix" that wouldn't really be a good idea anyway
[12:58] <V4Vendetta> soundray, i don't think i need a 3gb swap
[12:58] <John00> i would certienly do so but i do not have the accurate knowldge about the pastebin, as i mentioned earlier, i am new into the Linux world, so if you do not mind, perhaps you could give me some information about this so call thing pastebin
[12:58] <DJ_tobias> PuMpErNiCkLe, for example, hotplug loads alsa, yes?
[12:59] <Madpilot> !tell John00 about pastebin
[12:59] <PuMpErNiCkLe> DJ_tobias: I'm not sure of the details - hotplug mostly configures hardware, though, so I'm pretty sure alsa is handled separately.
[12:59] <LjL> wow, i haven't seen a more elaborated version of "what's a pastebin" yet =)
[12:59] <Madpilot> John00, if you include someone's nick in your posts here, you'll get their attention, btw
[12:59] <PuMpErNiCkLe> DJ_tobias: They may just inter-operate.
[01:00] <IdleOne> John00>  pastebin is a website where you can paste large amounts of text so you dont text flood the channel
[01:00] <tritium> Madpilot: help!  No matter how much I sit on my thinkpad, it doesn't help me think!
[01:00] <soundray> V4Vendetta: delete it, then resize sda1, and make your new home and swap partitions in the free space.
[01:00] <jdumont> what is the diff between ubuntu and kubuntu?  does ubuntu use gnome and kubuntu use kde?  thanks.
[01:00] <Madpilot> !lart tritium
[01:00] <soundray> jdumont: exactly.
[01:00] <DJ_tobias> PuMpErNiCkLe, hmm ok i will disable it and give it a go
[01:00] <LjL> jdumont: yeah. what you said.
[01:00] <Madpilot> jdmpike, bingo
[01:00] <tritium> :)
[01:00] <IdleOne> tritium>  you should set it on ur head like a bucket of water :P
[01:00] <V4Vendetta> soundray, i can't delete it, no option..
[01:01] <tritium> IdleOne: oh, so that's the trick...
[01:01] <soundray> V4Vendetta: did you run sudo swapoff ?
[01:01] <IdleOne> tritium>  check out www.thinkpad.com/howtothink
[01:01] <PuMpErNiCkLe> DJ_tobias: You can enable it again if it's a major issue - even temp remove the vid card to configure things, if necessary.  (I did a lot of that before I got my first system usable again.)
[01:02] <John00> thanks very much for that kind information
[01:02] <V4Vendetta> soundray, yea just no option to delete it, it's free space and i see no option to merge it into my main partition
[01:02] <IdleOne> John00>  dont mention it just paypal me the $10 :)
[01:02] <John00> here is the obtained output from my /etc/sources.list as it was asked http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9773
[01:02] <tritium> heh
[01:02] <John00> IdleOne: very funny indeed!
[01:03] <IdleOne> I try
[01:03] <soundray> V4Vendetta: if it's a swap partition, it's not free space. If it's free space, then there's nothing to delete.
[01:03] <V4Vendetta> soundray, i made it into ext3 now, i can delete it, then it's of type free... and i have no options but to format it
[01:03] <IdleOne> soundray>  if theres nothing to delete does it really exist?
[01:03] <IdleOne> lmao
[01:03] <IdleOne> ok Im done
[01:03] <s|k> can anyone tell me why I can't get irssi to change colors if I'm running it in the terminal through a screen?
[01:03] <s|k> the background is always white
[01:03] <DJ_tobias> PuMpErNiCkLe, k thanks for the help i am gonna give this a try
[01:04] <Madpilot> John00, to the line that says "deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe", and "multiverse" after universe, then hit Reload or run 'sudo atp-get update'
[01:04] <soundray> V4Vendetta: leave it as type free. Go on to the next job, resizing sda1.
[01:04] <IdleOne> s|k>  check out irssi.org/faq
[01:05] <V4Vendetta> soundray, i have no option to resize sda1 :\
[01:05] <jdumont> pretty quite channel for so many users.  but friendly.  :)
[01:05] <jdumont> oops
[01:05] <Syco54645> if i compile the newest quod libet from source, how can i make it so that it will insert that info into my apt database so that it has the current version info of the app?
[01:05] <soundray> V4Vendetta: what version of Knoppix?
[01:05] <V4Vendetta> soundray, newest live-cd
[01:05] <s|k> hrm
[01:06] <daneth> ok, its a binrary file im trying to install, a quick google job says these are easy to install but obviously so obvious that they dont actually mention how =[
[01:06] <jdumont> will knoppix or any other linux "live cd" boot on a mac?
[01:06] <John00> Madpilot: i don not understand you answer, perhaps you would like to reapet in a language that a newbie like me can understand it easily
[01:06] <soundray> V4Vendetta: when you run 'cat /proc/swaps', do you see any output?
[01:06] <ruzgar> i have a problem with .rar files
[01:06] <Madpilot> jdumont, if they're the PPC verions, they should
[01:06] <soundray> !rar
[01:06] <ubotu> I guess rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FileCompression
[01:06] <ruzgar> that gives a erro
[01:07] <V4Vendetta> soundray, no, i did sudo swapoff -a
[01:07] <jdumont> daneth that is why i am looking at the linspires "click and install"   I hear ubuntu may be offering that soon too.
[01:07] <soundray> V4Vendetta: run 'cat /proc/swaps' to make sure it worked.
[01:07] <Madpilot> John00, open a terminal (Applications menu -> Accessories -> Terminal) and type "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[01:07] <jdumont> okay madpilot... i'll try on the laptop
[01:07] <nxvl> is there some way to install Ubuntu without a CD or floppy drive? usbstick? netboot?
[01:07] <daneth> ah, awesome
[01:08] <V4Vendetta> soundray, i did, no outpt
[01:08] <V4Vendetta> soundray, i just dont have the option to resize /dev/sda1
[01:08] <ohgood> nxvl: any linux, yes
[01:08] <John00> Madpilot: i have accomplished that task my friend!
[01:08] <soundray> V4Vendetta: did you run sudo qtparted?
[01:08] <nxvl> ohgood: where can i found some documentation about?
[01:08] <V4Vendetta> soundray, i could format it though,
[01:08] <V4Vendetta> soundray, yes
[01:08] <TrickFinlay2> ok linux noob here,after a clean install(server install) i am faced with a bash prompt,how do i start X?
[01:08] <Madpilot> John00, OK, now in gedit, find the line that says "deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe" and just type "multiverse" on the end of it
[01:08] <Madpilot> TrickFinlay2, try "startx"
[01:08] <ohgood> nxvl: google for feather linux, or puppy linux. so long as your bios supports it, there is a bootable distro out there
[01:09] <GameOver69> hey guys i just swtiched to dapper but now my mplayer in kubuntu doesnt work
[01:09] <samwh> what about ubuntu live ;0
[01:09] <TrickFinlay2> Madpilot: damn i didnt have the space thanks
[01:09] <samwh> wow, bitchX is a niiice irc client
[01:09] <Madpilot> GameOver69, use #ubuntu+1 for Dapper questions
[01:10] <GameOver69> im in there no one is talking
[01:10] <samwh> I feel like a r33l 1337 h@xor
[01:10] <jdumont> trickfinl... i did a 'server' install once.  i reformatted to get the desktop only to learn i could have sudo apt-get something-desktop.   cant remember the exact xxxx-desktop command tho.
[01:10] <nxvl> ohgood: and how can i install ubuntu using it?
[01:10] <TrickFinlay2> Mad:no luck..."command not found"
[01:10] <soundray> V4Vendetta: I don't know what to do there. Have to pass this one on.
[01:10] <ohgood> nxvl: i suppose you'd want a chroot install.
[01:10] <Madpilot> TrickFinlay2, did you do a standard install?
[01:10] <TrickFinlay2> server
[01:10] <Tallia1Kubuntu> somebody can tell me why everytime that i install from synaptics a new kernel image the /boot/menu.lts of grub sets value of hd that are wrong?
[01:11] <Madpilot> TrickFinlay2, server has no GUI stuff at all
[01:11] <TrickFinlay2> mad:im looking to make an FTP server
[01:11] <TrickFinlay2> gotcha
[01:11] <[HF] rYno> install question:   everything installed fine.. when ubuntu (v.5.10) boots - everything loads "ok" but then screen goes black with wierd color bars at bottom.. then locked up....     resolution?
[01:11] <tritium> Tallia1Kubuntu: sounds like you need to correct /boot/grub/menu.lst (the automagic kernel options)
[01:11] <samwh> probally video driver errors
[01:11] <Tallia1Kubuntu> mhh
[01:11] <Madpilot> TrickFinlay2, yeah, no X in server - you can turn it into a regular Ubuntu desktop w/ "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" though
[01:11] <Tallia1Kubuntu> let me see
[01:12] <Tallia1Kubuntu> tritium: tnx in the meantime
[01:12] <jdumont> that was it.. thx for refreshing my memory mad.
[01:12] <[HF] rYno> where would i enter setup in order to change the vid drivers?  it never asked me about that.. just full install
[01:12] <soundray> basbryan: have you got an idea for V4Vendetta?
[01:12] <TrickFinlay2> mad:is there a site that will walk me through setting up an FTP server?...ok thanks ill try that
[01:12] <samwh> boot to failsafe ryno, then try changing your driver to visa
[01:12] <samwh> what card do you have?
[01:12] <samwh> er vesa
[01:12] <ohgood> visa makes a driver now ? dang, too slow
[01:12] <tritium> Tallia1Kubuntu: look for the kopt= line, and change your root setting to the proper partition
[01:12] <[HF] rYno> ok...   idk... its on board some old mobo got from a friend
[01:12] <Tallia1Kubuntu> tritium: they are all commented... the default options i mean
[01:12] <Madpilot> TrickFinlay2, I'm not sure - try searching wiki.ubuntu.com or ubuntuforums.org for ftp server setup info
[01:13] <tritium> Tallia1Kubuntu: then, run sudo update-grub
[01:13] <TrickFinlay2> mad:ok will do
[01:13] <Tallia1Kubuntu> ahah
[01:13] <Tallia1Kubuntu> i saw.. :)
[01:13] <tritium> Tallia1Kubuntu: that's right, but keep them commented.
[01:13] <samwh> Ah, onboard. edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:13] <Tallia1Kubuntu> tritium: tnx
[01:13] <V4Vendetta> should swap be on an extended or primary partition ?
[01:13] <John00> Madpilot: thanks my friend, u are a Linux Guru!!!
[01:13] <Madpilot> TrickFinlay2, just so you know, people's nicks only highlight when you use the full nick - type "madp" then hit the Tab key
[01:13] <Tallia1Kubuntu> why do i have to update grub=
[01:13] <[HF] rYno> how do i get to failsafe mode on boot?
[01:13] <Madpilot> John00, no, I just fake it :P
[01:13] <whafro> hey guys, I need to make a burnable image of a Mac CD-ROM... it doesn't seem to be HFS or iso9660... what other fs's could it be?
[01:13] <jdumont> trickFindlay2 i was told to look into vsftpd  i did get it up and running but could not download from the net.  something on my end obviously cuz everyone is using it... even freebsd
[01:14] <tritium> Tallia1Kubuntu: so that it propagates those kernel options to all the boot stanzas in the automagic section
[01:14] <John00> Madpilot: lol
[01:14] <TrickFinlay2> Madpilot:will do from now on
[01:14] <samwh> mayhaps joliet?
[01:14] <Tallia1Kubuntu> i see
[01:14] <samwh> or rockridge?
[01:14] <soundray> tritium: have you got an idea for V4Vendetta?
[01:14] <ruzgar> file roller gives that error "ERROR: Unknown option: idp" when i try to open rar file
[01:14] <whafro> those are extensions to iso9660, no?
[01:14] <tritium> soundray: let me scroll back...
[01:14] <samwh> STOP DOWNLOADING WAREZ
[01:14] <samwh> or something
[01:15] <soundray> tritium: running sudo qtparted, can't resize sda1, plenty of space...
[01:15] <Madpilot> ruzgar, try the non-free rar package
[01:15] <IdleOne> !tell samwh  about enter
[01:15] <ruzgar> i have installed it
[01:15] <V4Vendetta> tritium, my problem is, i'm on a knoppix live cd, i want to resize my main partition but the only option is for format, i know the drive is available because i can resize the swap partition on it, just not the main one that ubuntu is located on.
[01:15] <[HF] rYno> hey samwh:   how do i get her into failsafe mode?
[01:15] <samwh> Failsafe should be on the boot menu...
[01:15] <[HF] rYno> ok
[01:15] <[HF] rYno> i'll try it out
[01:15] <John00> Madpilot: its time for my nap now, there i must say good night to you, and hopefully i will have the honour to speak to you in near future!!!
[01:15] <[HF] rYno> thx
[01:15] <tritium> V4Vendetta: I've not had good luck with qtparted
[01:16] <samwh> wtf ihope
[01:16] <V4Vendetta> tritium, is their another program on knoppix i can use then?
[01:16] <samwh> apt-get install WTF?
[01:16] <soundray> V4Vendetta: maybe sudo parted
[01:16] <Madpilot> John00, good luck with Ubuntu - see you later
[01:16] <tritium> V4Vendetta: don't know about knoppix
[01:16] <samwh> he he... apt-get moo
[01:16] <rem_> anyone knows what the syntax is to make clamav go through proxy with authentification .. ?
[01:17] <V4Vendetta> soundray, it has parted, but i'm no good at terminal partitioners
[01:17] <IdleOne> Madpilot>  can you please remove samwh  he has been told about !enter a few times
[01:17] <samwh> ...
[01:17] <LinuxJones> samwh: stop spamming the channel
[01:17] <Madpilot> LinuxJones, apt-get moo isn't spam, it's a vital part of Linux :P
[01:17] <soundray> V4Vendetta: check it out, use the help, maybe you'll surprise yourself ;)
[01:17] <jdumont> i thought linux had no viruses... what is with clamav?
[01:18] <V4Vendetta> soundray, or i'll kill my system
[01:18] <samwh> Maybe he runs a server?
[01:18] <tritium> jdumont: linux can still be an email server for people with windows clients
[01:18] <soundray> V4Vendetta: seriously, in my experience, parted has better error messages than the graphical frontends will pass on.
[01:18] <Madpilot> jdumont, it looks for Windows viruses, so you don't accidently send them to folks still crippled by MS
[01:18] <samwh> I guess admins dont like apts *HIDDEN FUNCTIONALITY*
[01:18] <V4Vendetta> soundray, can i get gparted on a knoppix live-cd ?
[01:19] <markk> so, I'm installing realplayer and it asks where the install is downloaded to
[01:19] <tritium> samwh: we're aware of it.  Please stop spamming the channel with it.
[01:19] <jdumont> gotcha
[01:19] <samwh> Try the "system rescue cd" it has QTparted on it
[01:19] <markk> where is th default download for the package installer?
[01:19] <soundray> V4Vendetta: maybe. I think recent Knoppix's allow you to install extra packages from the web...
[01:19] <Madpilot> markk, Synaptic installs stuff to whereever it needs to be to work
[01:20] <samwh> Geez, calm down. Anyways, does anyone know if "klik" works with ubuntu at all?
[01:20] <_michael> somehow I messed up sudo by changing the date into the future... I think the timezone was off... no I can sudo in terminal but not to fix the date... any ideas?
[01:20] <samwh> http://klik.atekon.de/
[01:20] <markk> but it asks me to point to where the install file was d ownloaded
[01:20] <markk> and I can't find it
[01:20] <markk> it is not /root
[01:21] <samwh> !tell markk enter
[01:21] <samwh> hypocrites...
[01:21] <jdumont> i realize it's moving away from the CLI but Linspire's 'click and install'  CNR utility has me looking a linspire.  ubuntu may be using it too i read.
[01:21] <markk> Oh, for pity's sakes
[01:21] <markk> this issn't an argument thing
[01:22] <markk> debconf can't find the file
[01:22] <soundray> _michael: are you identical with kyevan?
[01:22] <markk> at the d efault location
[01:22] <tonyyarusso> jdumont: Ubuntu will have click-to-install with gdebi starting in Dapper.
[01:22] <tritium> markk, please do try to keep your comments on one line, rather than hitting enter repeatedly
[01:22] <markk> I am not hitting enter repeatedly
[01:23] <tritium> markk: scroll up
[01:23] <[HF] rYno> okay:  when i hit "ESC" on boot... i get these three options......      ubuntu, kernel 2.6.12-9-386       ubuntu, kernel 2.6.12-9-386 (recovery mode)      and     Ubuntu, memtest86+
[01:23] <markk> I do, when I have different things to say.
[01:23] <[HF] rYno> where's failsafe?
[01:23] <tonyyarusso> cafuego: There was a bot-related question/comment/suggestion sequence earlier; wondering if it would be possible for you to set up:
[01:23] <globe> can anyone help me get my screen above 800x600?
[01:23] <tritium> markk: you have 3 comments in a row that could be separate sentences in one comment.
[01:23] <_michael> soundray: no I am just me
[01:24] <Jeeva> globe: buy a bigger screen :P
[01:24] <basbryan> irc etiquette is appreciated
[01:24] <brenner> [HF] rYno: 2nd one
[01:24] <soundray> _michael: are you on the correct time now?
[01:24] <markk> Is that all this room is good for, critiquing one's IRC manners?   Someone please just answer the question, where do I find the file?
[01:24] <globe> Jeeva: now now....I know my screen is capable...
[01:24] <basbryan> not at all
[01:24] <Madpilot> [HF] rYno, recovery is failsafe AFAIK
[01:24] <basbryan> bu we do encourage it
[01:24] <[HF] rYno> k... loading stuff
[01:24] <jdumont> i think that option globe is in the initial setup......  my eyes went crossed when looking at how to increase the resolution.
[01:24] <Jeeva> markk: install FreeBSD :P
[01:24] <tonyyarusso> cafuego: Adding functionality to !factoid, along the lines of !factoid @ nick, such that it would be displayed for the whole channel and hilight a particular person, especially for new users that haven't figured out private messages yet and the like.
[01:24] <Madpilot> markk, which file are you looking for, anyway? and what're you trying to install?
[01:25] <markk> I am trying to install realplayer
[01:25] <IdleOne> markk>  this is a help channel and if you spam the channel because you think the enter key is a punctuation mark then you are preventing ppl who need help from being able to get that help
[01:25] <markk> and the installer thinks that the rpm is in /root
[01:25] <Madpilot> markk, have you seen the realplayer wiki page?
[01:25] <brenner> markk: don't you just get a bin file of the rp site?
[01:26] <tritium> markk: I am trying...realplayer, and the installer... <- use a comma rather than hitting enter ;)
[01:26] <Jeeva> markk
[01:26] <Jeeva> install VLC
[01:26] <brenner> ew, gtk1
[01:26] <Jeeva> /usr/ports/multimedia/vlc
[01:26] <Jeeva> make
[01:26] <Jeeva> make install
[01:26] <Jeeva> :p
[01:26] <[HF] rYno> okay i'm at root@ubuntu:~#
[01:27] <tritium> Jeeva: you too on the enter
[01:27] <[HF] rYno> now what was happening was                           install question:   everything installed fine.. when ubuntu (v.5.10) boots - everything loads "ok" but then screen goes black with wierd color bars at bottom.. then locked up....     resolution?
[01:27] <Madpilot> Jeeva, vlc is in the repos too - no need to compile
[01:27] <brenner> [HF] rYno: did you get a blue screen saying stuff about the x server at all?
[01:27] <V4Vendetta> how big does my swap partition need to be?
[01:27] <Jeeva> tritium: errrrrrrrrrr, ok go /usr/ports/multimedia/vlc make makeinstal
[01:27] <[HF] rYno> so i think samwh said to edit      etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:27] <Jeeva> n00b friendly
[01:27] <[HF] rYno> brenner: no
[01:28] <soundray> _michael: I can probably help you, but only if you respond.
[01:28] <Jeeva> Madpilot: vlc-0.8.4a_2
[01:28] <[HF] rYno> everything loaded fine but the eth because i'm using that cable for this puter right now
[01:28] <LinuxJones> V4Vendetta: how much ram do you have ?
[01:29] <V4Vendetta> linuxboy, 1g
[01:29] <Jeeva> markk: /usr/ports/multimedia/linux-realplayer
[01:29] <brenner> [HF] rYno: what did samwh suggest exactly?
[01:29] <_michael> sudo is semi-broken because of a timestamp from the future... anyone seen this before?
[01:29] <LinuxJones> V4Vendetta: you probably won't use much swap space on a desktop but 500 megs is a nice round number
[01:30] <soundray> _michael: I can probably help you, but only if you respond.
[01:30] <[HF] rYno> that's all he said
[01:30] <Jeeva> tritium: after being on IRC for 14 years, i'm used to hitting enter alot :P
[01:30] <orfeo> how install skin for amsn 0.95? I'm new in UBUNTU
[01:30] <rem_> how do you specify a port# when you go through a proxy in freshclam.conf for clamav ?
[01:30] <Jeeva> orfeo: rather use kopete
[01:30] <tritium> Jeeva: this is too busy a channel for that
[01:30] <[HF] rYno> but i'm in that file now...  and it says    "Device"    "NVIDIA NV6 [vanta/vanta LT] "
[01:30] <_michael> soundray gosh I will scroll back quickly to find your query
[01:30] <brenner> ubotu: tell [HF] rYno about fixres
[01:30] <soundray> _michael: never mind.
[01:31] <soundray> _michael: are you on current time now?
[01:31] <_michael> soundray I'm not... it says 8:31 am, and I'm on PST
[01:31] <_michael> so it should say 4:31
[01:31] <_michael> I am running kubuntu though, if it matters soundray
[01:32] <soundray> _michael: it doesn't. So you're four hours fast, or twenty slow?
[01:32] <brenner> [HF] rYno: see the "Run the Autodetect Script Again" section in particular
[01:32] <_michael> my clock is 8 hours slow
[01:32] <bimberi> rem_: not sure about that conf file but it's usually something like - http://address.of.proxy:port
[01:32] <[HF] rYno> ok.. i'm reading that wiki now
[01:32] <_michael> soundray my clock is 8 hours slow now
[01:32] <ifr> Having trouble getting vncserver to start up on Breezy. I want to vnc in from one breezy Machine to another. When I start vncserver it tells me that it can't find fonts . I pointed ~/.vncrc to $fontPath="/home/user/.fonts/" but it's still looking at /usr/x11r6/lib/x11. Can anyone help?
[01:33] <jdumont> sounds michael more like a time zone issue.
[01:33] <_michael> jdumont: well, I adjust the time, because it appeared to be off... then I realized the timezone was wrong, so I changed that, which then made my original time-change make the time invalid, and sudo gave me a "timestamp too far in the future" error
[01:34] <jdumont> i'm on  a mac right now and being a *buntu newbie I cant say where to look.  sorry.
[01:34] <rem_> its also often user:pass@ip:port , but i found the syntax for user, pass and server but not for port .. :(
[01:34] <_michael> I relogged and peeked into /etc/sudoers, only to realize it needed to be edited with visudo, then sudo on the commandline started working again, but kdesu doesn't still
[01:34] <_M4Ld> hi
[01:34] <ifr> vnchelp anyone?
[01:34] <n00bmaster> lol, tommrorow I am going to ubuntu live spam my school bondi blue imacs
[01:35] <n00bmaster> lol
[01:35] <tritium> _michael: if you're trying to give a user sudo priveleges, add that user to the admin group
[01:35] <bimberi> rem_: usually just a number (eg. 8080)
[01:35] <soundray> _michael: to fix this, you need to set the system date to the future, and to touch all files that have a date newer than true present time.
[01:35] <wastrel> i doubt bondi blue imacs will run gnome well
[01:35] <_michael> tritium: no, there's no new users
[01:35] <soundray> _michael: the procedure is this:
[01:35] <Fr4> good evening
[01:36] <Fr4> any italian?
[01:36] <jdumont> good eeeeeevening
[01:36] <rem_> found it: HTTPProxyPort  #
[01:36] <Madpilot> !it
[01:36] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[01:36] <M4LD> can anybody tell me how to add another harddrive with the same partition as /var?
[01:37] <hondadarrell> where is a good step by step on getting a win32 program to run in wine?
[01:37] <bimberi> rem_: ah, i'm with you now :) - good work
[01:37] <M4LD> just an additional to my existing /var partition.
[01:37] <pschulz01_> Greetings... Having prolems with an initial installation... looks like it might be font related.
[01:37] <soundray> _michael: Set actual time (with ntpdate), 'touch /tmp/reference', set time 12h or so into the future; run 'sudo find / -newer /tmp/reference -print0 | xargs -0 touch -r /tmp/reference'
[01:37] <samwh> Hmm... my timezones were messed up, i just su, then date
[01:37] <soundray> _michael: then run ntpdate again.
[01:37] <IdleOne> hondadarrell>  in terminal cd Desktop then wine program.exe
[01:38] <ruzgar> hello
[01:38] <_michael> ntupdate returns error "no servers can be used, exiting...
[01:38] <jdumont> is your bios time correct michael?
[01:38] <pschulz01_> I'm on the net, so can resintall packages, and base system is working OK (can ssh in remotely), but I can't get past the login screen
[01:38] <ruzgar> how can i disable my ntfs disk's read-ony option
[01:38] <_michael> jdumont: should be
[01:38] <ruzgar> i cant write on it
[01:38] <wastrel> ruzgar:  you can't, linux doesn't support writing ntfs
[01:38] <samwh> You can if you use captive...
[01:38] <IdleOne> ruzgar>  you cant write to ntfs
[01:38] <ruzgar> how ?
[01:38] <Madpilot> ruzgar, you can't
[01:38] <M4LD> can anybody tell me how to add another harddrive with the same partition as /var? just an addition to the existing one.
[01:39] <samwh> but frankly FUSE under ubuntu is borked
[01:39] <ruzgar> wit extra programs ?
[01:39] <soundray> _michael: can you run 'sudo date --set="Mon Mar  6 00:39:30 GMT 2006"?
[01:39] <atoponce> would ubuntu be a good distro for building a beowulf cluster?
[01:39] <_michael> soundray checking
[01:39] <samwh> try http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/ , but you need "fuse"
[01:39] <ruzgar> can i write etc3 in windows ?
[01:39] <samwh> Yes
[01:39] <LjL> ruzgar: think there is a driver for that
[01:39] <pschulz01_> Have uninstalled xserver-org-base (remove --purge) and reinstalled ubuntu-desktop without any change.
[01:39] <LjL> ruzgar: i would be afraid to do that on my system though
[01:39] <samwh> http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ext2.html
[01:40] <samwh> theres the windows driver
[01:40] <whishkah> I upgraded now my sound doesn't work. In /usr/share/alsa/cards my card is not listed. Does any one know where I can download a .conf file for a opl3sa2 card. Modprobes don't work anymore. That is how I got it to work when I first installed Ubuntu.
[01:40] <_michael> soundray that worked
[01:40] <ruzgar> umm ok i have a problem with rar file linux cant open that
[01:40] <atoponce> or would someone else recommend another distro?
[01:40] <crimsun> whishkah: what did you upgrade?
[01:40] <samwh> or crap, wrong link http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ext2ifs.htm
[01:40] <qatsi> ok, i had to reinstall windows, so my bootloader is the windows one, how can i install GRUB again ?
[01:40] <jdumont> yay!
[01:40] <ruzgar> i want to transfer it to the windows
[01:40] <LjL> ruzgar: sudo apt-get install unrar-nonfree
[01:40] <_michael> soundray 'date' verified the command took effect
[01:41] <Fr4> I have a problem with my notebook and ubuntu breezy...
[01:41] <soundray> _michael: continue from "touch /tmp/reference" then.
[01:41] <ruzgar> i already made it
[01:41] <ruzgar> error is "unknown option:idp"
[01:41] <brenner> qatsi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[01:41] <LjL> ruzgar: try winrar under wine then, perhaps
[01:41] <ruzgar> umm i'll try
[01:41] <ruzgar> thanks
[01:41] <whishkah> crumsun: everything. I installed an old hard drive, to have more space. Then redid everything.
[01:41] <Fr4> when i turn off my pc, it don't close, but the monitor is black and the light is open...
[01:41] <_michael> ok soundray
[01:42] <Fr4> this problem is in many forum but nobody answer...
[01:42] <crimsun> whishkah: did you have to pass any options to modprobe the first time?
[01:42] <qatsi> thanx brenner :)
[01:42] <soundray> _michael: fixed?
[01:42] <samwh> anyone know if "klik" works on ubuntu?
[01:42] <aaron_> im having a bit of a problem..... dapper base system doesnt include make and I need make to install the drivers for my wireless adaptor so i can have internet.....
[01:42] <jdumont> had that problem on a win98 pc Fr4.  may be hardware related.
[01:42] <IdleOne> !tell aaron_  about wireless
[01:43] <Fr4> my notebook is a toshiba satellite M50 series
[01:43] <IdleOne> aaron_>  also try #ubuntu+1 for help with dapper
[01:43] <Fr4> is new
[01:43] <whishkah> crimsun: Yes, now they do nothing. For some reason also "modprobe opl3sa" gets an error. I originally used modprobe then edited the modprobe.d.
[01:43] <aaron_> k but the problem is with neither wireless or dapper
[01:43] <[HF] rYno> k brenner:   ubuntu logo up and loading....
[01:43] <_michael> soundray... command is being processed... I imagine the find recursively will take a little while
[01:43] <[HF] rYno> *crosses fingers*
[01:43] <IdleOne> aaron_>  sudo apt=get build-essential
[01:44] <crimsun> whishkah: so you were using the oss/free driver and not the alsa one/
[01:44] <IdleOne> aaron_>  sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:44] <aaron_> i need internet in dapper first.....
[01:44] <aaron_> im in breezy atm
[01:44] <soundray> _michael: sure. On ext3 more than on reiser ;)
[01:44] <M4LD> hi i need help with adding another harddrive. i already have an existing /var partition. i just want to add another harddrive with the same partition name. is it possible?
[01:44] <aaron_> i have wireless on breezy no problem
[01:44] <IdleOne> aaron_>  ahh sorry didnt see that part :/
[01:44] <hondadarrell> IdleOne, so wine is a command or does win have to be one the desktop?
[01:44] <aaron_> so i need a way to install make
[01:45] <pschulz01_> Swaping to kdm results in only the 'xserver' starting.. the nice black and white screen.
[01:45] <aaron_> i'd try the source but i need make to compile it don't I?
[01:45] <Soviet-Toast> tee heee. im ecstatic... i got my webserver going and i have a domain name :D:D:D:D:D:DD:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[01:45] <[HF] rYno> okay so it says xserver is now configured wrong... and put me into text login
[01:45] <_michael> soundray: well, the command's not done yet, but I prematurely was able to run kdesu for the gui time-set panel
[01:45] <globe> is there a way to use the windows version of my video card drivers in ubuntu?
[01:45] <jdumont> well i'm gone.  think i;ll hang out on this irc server.  seems to be more helpful than other irc servers for ubuntu help.  cya.
[01:45] <IdleOne> hondadarrell>  you wont see wine on your desktop. wine is the command that starts/tells wine to run program.exe
[01:45] <[HF] rYno> okay so i logged in but can't config xserver right for this onboard video....
[01:45] <_michael> soundray: but I guess I should wait for the command to finish before I go altering the date/time in the gui setter
[01:45] <Soviet-Toast> does apt-get install wine get it for me?
[01:45] <_michael> soundray: I appreciate your help
[01:45] <IdleOne> Soviet-Toast>  yes
[01:45] <soundray> _michael: well, that's not so surprising, because your current time is now ahead of any file's timestamp (we hope)
[01:46] <Soviet-Toast> awesome!
[01:46] <brenner> [HF] rYno: open up /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:46] <Soviet-Toast> i love ubuntu. so glad i switched from windoze
[01:46] <[HF] rYno> ok
[01:46] <Fr4> nobody can help me?
[01:46] <soundray> _michael: I just noticed a mistake in that command as well...
[01:46] <brenner> [HF] rYno: then search for (EE) lines
[01:46] <whishkah> crimsun: I believe I was using both. I also added aliases to the alsa config. The forums listed various things to do, but nothing works now. I read on the forums also opl3sa2 cards aren't supported anymore. It normally would take this long to set it up, but I used to be able to use alsaconf, Ubuntu doesn't have that.
[01:46] <brenner> [HF] rYno: i.e. errors
[01:46] <[HF] rYno> k
[01:46] <soundray> _michael: it should be ...sudo touch -r /tmp/reference. Sorry about that :(
[01:47] <crimsun> whishkah: you can't use both at the same time; you can only use one or the other
[01:47] <IdleOne> hondadarrell>  you can also try " man wine " for the help pages in terminal
[01:47] <jdumont> what i had to do on win98 Fr4 was restart in msdos mode then turn the pc off.  sorry.
[01:47] <soundray> Fr4, if Linux can't shutdown your machine, grub probably can.
[01:48] <[HF] rYno> only one is:   Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration             fatal server error:  no screens found
[01:48] <Fr4> mmm
[01:48] <Fr4> ok thanks
[01:48] <Fr4> but i think that there is a way to close my notebook...
[01:48] <crimsun> whishkah: pastebin the output from lsmod
[01:48] <[HF] rYno> and i looked in my box..and i'm on an old vid card but its not PCI... way shorter plugin than pci... but its an old nvidia card... so not onboard vid
[01:49] <_michael> soundray ok, np re-executing
[01:49] <brenner> [HF] rYno: lspci | grep VGA
[01:49] <pschulz01_> Hmmm: Starting X manually (startx) reports - 'client 6 rejected from local host'. Anyone know why that would be happening?
[01:49] <brenner> whoops, nvm
[01:49] <soundray> Fr4, add two lines to /boot/grub/menu.lst: "title Shutdown" and "halt". Then you can shutdown with "sudo grub-reboot 8", where you replace "8" with the number of the Shutdown section.
[01:49] <_michael> should I patch that new command on the end of your old one or run it now on a newline?
[01:50] <ifr> anyone know if I can tunnel a vnc connection with 5900:localhost:5900 -L 5800:localhost:5800 ?
[01:50] <[HF] rYno> vga compatible controller:  nVidia Corporation NV6 {Vanta/Vanta LT]  (rev 15)
[01:50] <_michael> _michael: Set actual time (with ntpdate), 'touch /tmp/reference', set time 12h or so into the future; run 'sudo find / -newer /tmp/reference -print0 | xargs -0 sudo touch -r /tmp/reference'
[01:50] <_michael> like that soundray ?

[01:50] <Fr4> soundray thanks, i understand this
[01:50] <soundray> _michael: that sounds right.
[01:50] <Fr4> but is a no good solution...
[01:50] <Fr4> :(
[01:50] <brenner> [HF] rYno:  cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
[01:50] <_michael> k so rerun including the find part right soundray ?
[01:51] <soundray> Fr4: why?
[01:51] <brenner> [HF] rYno: give us the last line only
[01:51] <adam_> Is there any way to speed up printing? It takes 5-10+ minutes to print a 2-3 MB picture (or let me rephrase, it takes 5-10 minutes BEFORE it starts printing the picture)
[01:51] <_michael> just inserting the 'sudo' before the touch
[01:51] <[HF] rYno> driver   "nv"
[01:51] <soundray> _michael: yes, because it needs to execute the sudo touch on every file that's newer than the reference.
[01:51] <crimsun> whishkah: and that's the oss/free driver, not the alsa one
[01:51] <odat> anyone ever set up a raid system?
[01:51] <adam_> Could it be missing something like DMA or..?
[01:51] <Fr4> because if anybody click to Halt system my notebook don't close..
[01:52] <ifr> So here's one. How do I tell sshd to load on startup?
[01:52] <brenner> [HF] rYno: ok, let's try the vesa driver for now: you know about sudo and how to use a console-mode editor right?
[01:52] <_michael> xargs is very mysterious; I'm trying to figure that element out, otherwise it makes some sense
[01:52] <[HF] rYno> no... sorry
[01:52] <crimsun> whishkah: you need to unload all of those, then load snd-opl3sa2
[01:52] <GDG> hi
[01:52] <GDG> I need to install libstdcc
[01:52] <brenner> [HF] rYno: nevermind.  run this: sudo sed -e 's/"nvi"/"vesa"/' -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:52] <_michael> ok I get xargs
[01:53] <GDG> I need to install libstdc++
[01:53] <whishkah> crimsun: Could you elaborate on unload?
[01:53] <tonyyarusso> GDG: 'sudo apt-get install libstdc++5'
[01:53] <[HF] rYno> same password?
[01:53] <odat> anyone ever set up a raid system?

[01:54] <[HF] rYno> -e expression #1, char 16:  unknown option to 's'
[01:54] <soundray> Fr4: you just need to change the command that is executed when someone "clicks Halt"
[01:54] <crimsun> whishkah: sudo modprobe -r opl3sa2
[01:55] <brenner> [HF] rYno: my guess is you did a typo somewhere
[01:55] <[HF] rYno> hmm...   are both of them     this    '    or is one    `
[01:55] <[HF] rYno> and did you mean "nv"   or "nvi"
[01:55] <GDG> tonyyarusso, where is it now? how can I find libstdc in my filesystem ?
[01:55] <brenner> [HF] rYno: '
[01:55] <[HF] rYno> k.. i typed it right then... let me try again though.
[01:55] <brenner> [HF] rYno: nv.  my apologies

[01:59] <GDG> now, I need to install libstdc++6
[01:59] <_michael> soundray: unable to execute /usr/bin/touch argument list too long...
[01:59] <[HF] rYno> oh... shit it loaded the gui
[01:59] <LjL> !tell whishkah about paste
[01:59] <GDG> where can I find it?
[01:59] <_michael> soundray this situation should fix itself by tomorrow though, right?
[01:59] <brenner> LjL: heh.
[01:59] <[HF] rYno> brenner..   is that it then?
[01:59] <LjL> whishkah: you have a private message from ubotu (yeah brenner)
[02:00] <soundray> _michael: probably, if you remember to set it back to present time and just leave it.
[02:00] <brenner> [HF] rYno: it loaded?  do you see two panels and the ubuntu bg?
[02:00] <GDG> where can I find libstdc++6 ?
[02:00] <soundray> _michael: very annoying thing about the argument list. Sorry about that.
[02:00] <[HF] rYno> yeah...  start bar lookin deal with 4 wallpaper boxes... and date top right
[02:00] <[HF] rYno> looks good
[02:00] <LjL> GDG: in /usr/lib if it's installed. what exactly are you trying to do?
[02:00] <brenner> LjL: you spared me. thanks. :D
[02:00] <[HF] rYno> mouse aint workin but its my roomates lame one so i may have to swith it out with mine
[02:00] <soundray> _michael: surprising, too, because there can't be that many files with future dates...
[02:01] <GDG> LjL, no I want to install it
[02:01] <_michael> soundray: can I just set the time correct now?
[02:01] <LjL> GDG: "sudo apt-get install libstdc++6"
[02:01] <brenner> [HF] rYno: ok, problem was the nv driver doesn't work with your card.  you have to consult nvidia owners to get your drivers up if you want 3d.  i have an ati
[02:01] <GDG> don't find it
[02:01] <brenner> [HF] rYno: otherwise, is the res. ok?
[02:01] <LjL> GDG: try "sudo apt-get update" first
[02:01] <GDG> LjL, seems didn't find it
[02:02] <[HF] rYno> okay... well i'm only using this system for ftp server and MAYBE an asterisk box
[02:02] <[HF] rYno> yeah res looks ok... i can deal
[02:02] <brenner> [HF] rYno: ah, ok.  you're set then
[02:02] <brenner> enjoy :)
[02:02] <soundray> _michael: yes. Make sure the time zone is correct, then do 'date --set="Mon Mar  6 01:03:00 GMT 2006"'
[02:02] <GDG> LjL, didn't find it
[02:02] <LjL> GDG: are you using Breezy?
[02:03] <Nameeater> what do you call it when you create your own ubuntu disc?
[02:03] <[HF] rYno> ha.. right on... thanks a lot for your time and brain brenner!
[02:03] <Nameeater> with your own set of packages
[02:03] <brenner> [HF] rYno: brain says you're welcome
[02:03] <IdleOne> Nameeater>  you can call it Nameeater Linux :)
[02:03] <[HF] rYno> lol
[02:03] <[HF] rYno> peace out
[02:04] <odat> anyone ever set up a raid system?
[02:04] <Nameeater> isnt there a name for the process, Im sure there is a wiki page but I have no idea where to look
[02:04] <brenner> Nameeater: i think it's called mastering
[02:04] <FunnyLookinHat> odat, I saw you asking questions the other day...  Is your RAID hardware based?  If so, you hsould be able to config it in th bios or something
[02:04] <soundray> Nameeater, there is a package called dfsbuild that may be of interest
[02:04] <brenner> not sure though
[02:04] <soundray> !info dfsbuild
[02:04] <FunnyLookinHat> odat, should make setup a lot easier I would suppose
[02:04] <ubotu> dfsbuild: (Build Debian From Scratch CD/DVD images), section universe/utils, is optional. Version: 0.6.20 (breezy), Packaged size: 1047 kB, Installed size: 2920 kB
[02:04] <Madpilot> anyone else using Gmail on Opera and having odd bugs lately?
[02:04] <Tode_I> I just did a kernel reinstall, everything works (so far) except my wireless driver has disappeared - how do I put it back?
[02:05] <dle> What is recovery mode?  I booted into it expecting something like a minimal env. where I could get  at my partitions, and ended up with a full env. afaict.
[02:05] <Madpilot> Tode_I, redo whatever you did originally to get the wireless working, probably
[02:05] <Nameeater> remastering, thanks :)
[02:05] <bimberi> ubotu tell Nameeater about livecd
[02:05] <Tode_I> it was there when I first installed
[02:05] <odat> FunnyLookinHat, i believe it is software based there seems to be a seconds bios that loads and identifies the drives
[02:05] <Madpilot> Tode_I, hmm, then I've got no idea, sorry...
[02:05] <brenner> dle: define full env.
[02:06] <Tode_I> So that would mean a complete reinstall, which puts me back where I started. I needed to do the recompile to get build functioning in order to install the driver for my wireless mouse... sigh.
[02:06] <rafael> hi
[02:06] <brenner> Nameeater: that's it.
[02:06] <Nameeater> is there any illegallities if I say set up a light ubuntu disc and want to release it?
[02:06] <dle> brenner: Gnome, everything mounted, network up.
[02:06] <lnx_> anyone know how to start the wine setup?
[02:06] <FunnyLookinHat> odat, weird.  Have you tried installing it w/ just one hard drive to get ur grub to work right, and then adding the second drive later?
[02:06] <lnx_> the wine configuration wizard
[02:06] <lnx_> ?
[02:06] <Madpilot> Nameeater, none for the software - the Ubuntu name itself is copyrighted, though
[02:06] <brenner> dle: yeah, you should be getting just a shell prompt.
[02:06] <whiter> is there a good gui ftp client for linu
[02:06] <whiter> x
[02:07] <odat> FunnyLookinHat, yes  didn't work
[02:07] <dle> brenner: bizarre.
[02:07] <brenner> dle: check your grub config
[02:07] <whiter> minux gftp of course
[02:07] <soundray> Madpilot: trademarked. Can't have copyright on a word.
[02:07] <rafael> anyone know a good linux forum?
[02:07] <Madpilot> soundray, right - close enough
[02:07] <Nameeater> Madpilot: thanks
[02:07] <bimberi> whiter: nautilus (the file manager)  via Places -> Connect to Server
[02:07] <Madpilot> rafael, ubuntuforums.org
[02:07] <GDG> LjL, yes Breezy
[02:07] <GDG> 5.10
[02:07] <rafael> thanx
[02:07] <lnx_> anyone know how to run the wine configuration?
[02:07] <dle> brenner: the kernel line for the first recovery mode is: kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-10-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro single
[02:07] <whiter> and also besides nautilus
[02:07] <FunnyLookinHat> odat, Did it work w/ just the ond hard drive before adding the second??
[02:07] <whiter> im looking for an fxp capable client also
[02:07] <rafael> Mag .. thanks guy
[02:07] <GDG> how can install libstdc++6
[02:07] <GDG> ?
[02:08] <LjL> GDG: that package should definitely exist... would you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list to the pastebin?
[02:08] <bimberi> whiter: gftp (not sure if it handles fxp)
[02:08] <soundray> Nameeater: do you know about ubuntu-lite?
[02:08] <eisman> hello
[02:08] <tonyyarusso> Very strange issue: I've lost use of a number of keys on vTTY4 only.  Trying to type the alphabet there, I get acdefgijmnprsuvwxyz and a bunch of beeping.  tty5 is fine.  What's up?

[02:08] <Nameeater> sound-lite: yea it looks interesting :)
[02:08] <whiter> it doesnt
[02:08] <FunnyLookinHat> odat, then you have a serious problem with your mothreboard or something...
[02:08] <brenner> dle: mine is of the same format
[02:08] <navarone> ljl...kids these days...<tsk>
[02:08] <Madpilot> LjL, that time nobody even dropped - pathetic :P
[02:08] <Nameeater> erm, soundray* :x
[02:09] <FunnyLookinHat> odat, if one hard drive alone doesn't work.  Serial ATA?
[02:09] <brenner> dle: i don't know to be honest
[02:09] <eisman> hello!!!
[02:09] <dle> brenner: Nothing is making much sense today.
[02:09] <soundray> eisman: test worked!
[02:09] <shiv> I messed  up with my panel. I have no space to right click on it and go to properties. Plz help me. Its too small and I want to make it big :(
[02:09] <GDG> LjL, I have uncomment all
[02:10] <odat> FunnyLookinHat, a serious problem with my motherboard lolol good one  XP ran fine on here and i'm actually using a Live cd right now talking to you
[02:10] <LjL> GDG: well, specifically, do you have "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted" ?
[02:10] <brenner> when did Ubugtu get implemented?
[02:10] <tonyyarusso> Plus, I can't copy any of those missing letters into tty4 either.  Which means I have no way of typing 'exit'.
[02:10] <FunnyLookinHat> odat, Oh, so it does work.  I thought you couldn't get anything to work off your MBR on that comp (sorry!)
[02:10] <Madpilot> brenner, the auto-kickban? a few days ago, when this exploit crap started
[02:10] <soundray> tonyyarusso: try Ctrl-D
[02:10] <lnx_> is there a forum post for how to use wine?
[02:10] <brenner> shiv: screenshot?
[02:10] <damnhil>  how do I use  rename -v 's/\s//' * to remove all the whitespaces in the filenames? The command only removes the first whitespace in the filenames.
[02:11] <shiv> where do I paste the screen shot?
[02:11] <tonyyarusso> soundray: Beautiful.  Any idea what brought it about in the first place?
[02:11] <Madpilot> lnx_, search ubuntuforums.org, there should be lots of wine info there
[02:11] <brenner> Madpilot: ah.
[02:11] <brenner> shiv: imageshack.us is fine
[02:11] <_michael> soundray... somehow the timestamp is set for mar 7 now... I had to su root to get sudo back... but I had to make it think It's tomorrow!  could it be that just the /etc/sudoers needs to be 'touched' ??
[02:11] <Madpilot> lnx_, also, there must be a wine channel on freenode- search the channel lists
[02:12] <odat> FunnyLookinHat, are you missing something  i can install ubuntu but grub doesn't work
[02:12] <lnx_> madpilot, thx
[02:12] <soundray> tonyyarusso: none at all, sry
[02:12] <PuMpErNiCkLe> damnhil: something like s/foo/bar/g you mean?
[02:12] <tonyyarusso> soundray: All right.  At least it's fixed.
[02:12] <hondadarrell> IdleOne, so wine is a command or does win have to be one the desktop?
[02:12] <sysko> LKM question: I am using a KVM and when I am toggling from a proprietary plateform, back to Linux, I am loosing my PS2 mouse. Dirty fix I found is to rmmod psmouse && modprobe psmouse. Would there be a cleaner way to fix that ?
[02:12] <FunnyLookinHat> odat, yea.  apparently because when you send it to hd0 or whatever for your kernel it can't find it.  Sorry, I don't know.  Have you checked ubuntuforums.org about raid configs?
[02:12] <Soviet-Toast> isnt USB mouse better than PS2?
[02:12] <soundray> _michael: I don't know. No harm trying. You can set any time stamp with touch (check out man touch).
[02:13] <GDG> LjL, yes
[02:13] <_michael> ok thanks soundray
[02:13] <majd> soundray, sounds like a gay bar's name
[02:13] <majd> lol
[02:13] <majd> "Man Touch"
[02:13] <Soviet-Toast> dont dis soundray!
[02:13] <odat> FunnyLookinHat, oh for god sake you think i would come in here and ask before trying to find it myself
[02:13] <odat> good lord
[02:13] <shiv> This it brenner. http://img303.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1db.png
[02:13] <soundray> Soviet-Toast: don't what?
[02:13] <FunnyLookinHat> odat, sorry, but I've had a lot of people ask me how to google for answers.
[02:14] <LjL> GDG: perhaps you could try a different mirror. i can assure you "libstdc++6" is a valid package
[02:14] <shiv> Its the 1st panel on top of the larger one below at the bottom...
[02:14] <soundray> Soviet-Toast: can you explain?
[02:15] <Madpilot> info libstdc++6
[02:15] <Madpilot> !info libstdc++6
[02:15] <brenner> soundray: dis = put down.  get with the times man!
[02:15] <ubotu> libstdc++6: (The GNU Standard C++ Library v3), section base, is important. Version: 4.0.1-4ubuntu9 (breezy), Packaged size: 345 kB, Installed size: 1032 kB
[02:16] <soundray> brenner: I want to know it from him, and what he's referring to.
[02:16] <Soviet-Toast> @soundray ok?
[02:16] <brenner> shiv: k. give us a sec.  i'm on dialup and have an apt install running
[02:16] <shiv> Ahaa
[02:16] <shiv> I got it
[02:16] <soundray> Soviet-Toast: oh, I understand it now. Thanks Soviet-Toast
[02:16] <shiv> I was able to right click on the arrows at the end
[02:16] <shiv> that did the trick
[02:17] <brenner> heh, ok then
[02:17] <Soviet-Toast> soundray: lol it doesnt matter
[02:17] <shiv> The move button is greyed out on right click though
[02:18] <mikebot|afk> anyone know about setting up an ipod with gdk?
[02:18] <mikebot|afk> gtkpod that is
[02:18] <Soviet-Toast> does ubuntu come with any firewall... i apt installed gtk-gnutella and it wont connect, apparently i have a firewall blocking it but i havent installed any firewall/know of any
[02:18] <brenner> shiv: on what?
[02:18] <Soviet-Toast> im running ubuntu
[02:18] <Soviet-Toast> i want to use gtk gnutella to get some music
[02:19] <shiv> on the icons on the panel I am trying to move one of them
[02:19] <soundray> majd, lots of unix command names sound... strange. wine; talk; touch; unzip; touch; strip; gasp; finger; gasp; mount; fsck; more; yes; gasp; umount; make clean; sleep
[02:19] <brenner> shiv: you have to unlock it
[02:19] <shiv> how?
[02:19] <brenner> shiv: right-click>lock to panel
[02:19] <mikebot> soundray: that's funny
[02:19] <shiv> ahhagot it

[02:20] <sysko> #Linux-Quebec
[02:20] <mikebot> anyone use gtkpod?
[02:20] <majd> mikebot, i did, for a while
[02:20] <Soviet-Toast> how can i update  gtk gnutella?
[02:21] <mikebot> majd: what do you use now/
[02:21] <Soviet-Toast> 0.95.4 - its what apt-get gave me
[02:21] <brenner> Soviet-Toast: i think it's something to do with iptables which comes with all linux systems having ports closed by default
[02:21] <majd> mikebot, i gave my ipod away :)
[02:21] <IdleOne> can I get a little help installing gmail notifier?
[02:22] <Soviet-Toast> i have one of those running in firefox
[02:22] <Soviet-Toast> its good
[02:22] <tonyyarusso> soundray: What's gasp?
[02:22] <mikebot> majd: argh, heh, okay; well would you know how to set up gtkpod?
[02:22] <mikebot> majd: or make my ipod work in ubuntu and not give errors?
[02:22] <soundray> Soviet-Toast: when you go to dapper, you'll get gnutella 0.96b
[02:22] <navarone> soundray...lsd AND unix both began in Berkely...coincidence? <s>
[02:23] <majd> mikebot, to be honest, i just used synaptic to install gtkpod and had no problems with it, it did it's job
[02:23] <mikebot> majd: you didn't have to mount your ipod and stuff like that?
[02:23] <majd> is it a new feature that the screen dims when you get asked for the password?
[02:23] <mikebot> i almost cursed there...
[02:23] <majd> mikebot, no, it did it automatically
[02:23] <majd> as weird as that is
[02:24] <mikebot> ljl would be proud
[02:24] <mikebot> majd: okay
[02:24] <soundray> navarone: LSD abuse maybe. It was discovered at Hoffman Laroche.
[02:24] <mikebot> thanks anyway
[02:24] <majd> by the way, i'm a noob...so i must've done something..right?
[02:24] <majd> by mistake of course
[02:24] <soundray> tonyyarusso: I don't know, it used to be in binutils, don't know what it was for.
[02:24] <IdleOne> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9776 can someone tell me what my next step is ?
[02:24] <[blah] > what application can I use to watch divx / xvids in?
[02:24] <navarone> soundray, ahh...was a little tidbit I saw on Space TV today...you can't believe everything you see on tv I guess...lol
[02:24] <mikebot> [blah] : totem
[02:25] <soundray> tonyyarusso: just replace it with gawk ;)
[02:25] <Soviet-Toast> how can i update my gnutella... whats the terminal command?
[02:25] <[blah] > mikebot, whenever I try to open a xvid in totem i get an error.
[02:25] <soundray> Soviet-Toast: you don't get a more recent gnutella with breezy than the one you got.
[02:25] <Madpilot> [blah] , open Synaptic and search for xvid - there are plugins that should work w/ totem
[02:25] <Soviet-Toast> omg.
[02:25] <Soviet-Toast> thats poor
[02:26] <LjL> IdleOne: installing python2.3-gtk2 methinks
[02:26] <soundray> Soviet-Toast: if there was, the command would be "sudo apt-get install gtk-gnutella"
[02:26] <mikebot> [blah] : you need some sort of codec i imagine
[02:26] <soundray> Soviet-Toast: no, it's the result of a policy that makes a rock-stable Linux distribution.
[02:26] <Madpilot> Soviet-Toast, Ubuntu does major updates every six months, with each release. In between, there are only security updates, pretty much
[02:26] <brenner> [blah] : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats#head-fda9cc5147253891fe3047263b82d787ab025bba
[02:26] <[blah] > i've installed the only codecs i can find in synaptic avifile-xvid-plugin and divx-plugin
[02:27] <lnx__> anyone know a media player that can play files inside a VIDEO_TS folder created by DVD shrink?
[02:27] <whiter> what version of gnome does Breezy come with by default
[02:27] <[blah] > the rest seem to be encoders
[02:27] <Soviet-Toast> ok thanks... but why wont anything come up when i search... i want music!!!"
[02:27] <[blah] > thanx brenner
[02:27] <Madpilot> whiter, 2.12
[02:27] <mikebot> Madpilot: do you know about gtkpod?
[02:27] <whiter> is 2.14 a big difference?
[02:28] <chavo> whiter, about 0.02
[02:28] <Madpilot> mikebot, not a thing
[02:28] <soundray> Soviet-Toast: try allofmp3.com
[02:28] <lnx__> does anyone know a media player that can play files inside a VIDEO_TS folder like those created by DVD Shrink?
[02:28] <brenner> [blah] : don't forget to install totem-xine.  the codecs and the default gstreamer backend doen't mix well
[02:28] <soundray> Soviet-Toast: or shoutcast
[02:28] <mikebot> Madpilot: alright, thanks anyway
[02:28] <Madpilot> whiter, 2.14 has some new shiny stuff, and it should be even faster - it'll be in Dapper in April
[02:28] <mikebot> Madpilot: do you know about irssi?
[02:28] <Soviet-Toast> okeydokey
[02:29] <Madpilot> mikebot, nope, I use XChat
[02:29] <chavo> whiter, I'm a KDE man, but Gnome 2.14 is looking real nice.
[02:29] <whiter> hehe @ chavo
[02:29] <whiter> alright
[02:29] <IdleOne> LjL>  gmail notifier is gmail-notify in repos :)
[02:29] <mikebot> Madpilot: do you know what irc exploits theya re referring to in the chat title are?
[02:29] <soundray> Soviet-Toast: or download the Free Software song by Richard M Stallman ;)
[02:29] <Madpilot> mikebot, there are a couple of them - all newly discovered :P
[02:29] <whiter> how can i check my gnome version?
[02:29] <LjL> IdleOne: cool =)
[02:29] <mikebot> Madpilot: what kind of exploits?
[02:30] <lnx__> anyone know a media player that can play the files inside a VIDEO_TS folder like those created by DVD shrink?
[02:30] <whiter> theres one that crashes netgear routers
[02:30] <bimberi> whiter: System -> About Gnome
[02:30] <IdleOne> LjL>  thank though you pointed me in the direction of enlightenment
[02:30] <soundray> Soviet-Toast: http://www.gnu.org/music/free-software-song.html
[02:30] <chavo> whiter, or run gnome-about from cli
[02:30] <Madpilot> mikebot, they all basically kick people off IRC - router or IRC client bugs
[02:30] <mikebot> LjL: do you know about gtkpod?
[02:30] <mikebot> Madpilot: ah okay
[02:30] <LjL> mikebot: nope, don't have an ipod
[02:30] <mikebot> LjL: okay
[02:30] <whiter> if i add the dapper repositories could i install gnome 2.14 without having to compile it?
[02:30] <mikebot> thanks anyway
[02:30] <lnx__> anyone know a media player that can play the files inside a VIDEO_TS folder like those created by DVD shrink?
[02:31] <jbroome> lnx__: i'm pretty sure VLC will
[02:31] <tonyyarusso> soundray: Free software song?  I'm interested.
[02:31] <chavo> whiter, it would update the whole distro pretty much
[02:31] <mikebot> Madpilot: LjL: do you guys know about a program like gtkpod (itunes copy) that actually plays the mp3s, instead of relying on outside mp3 players?
[02:31] <soundray> tonyyarusso: http://www.gnu.org/music/free-software-song.html
[02:31] <hondadarrell> IdleOne, so wine is a command or does win have to be one the desktop?
[02:31] <tonyyarusso> soundray: Cool beans.
[02:31] <whiter> guess ill just wait
[02:31] <whiter> :|
[02:31] <Madpilot> mikebot, I don't own an iPod or any little music player
[02:31] <LjL> mikebot: only one i can think of is amarok, but i don't even really know if it's anything like gtkpod
[02:31] <[blah] > is there a difference between totem and totem-xine?
[02:31] <mikebot> Madpilot: LjL okay, thanks guys
[02:31] <lnx__> jbroome: do you think it will play it smoothly?
[02:32] <chavo> whiter, you can put dapper on a seperate partition if you have the space and time
[02:32] <psusi> [blah] , yea... one uses gstreamer, one uses xine... I find the xine one to work better generally
[02:32] <whiter> na, ill just wait
[02:32] <whiter> heh
[02:32] <Madpilot> whiter, you could update all the way to Dapper right now, but it's still very much in testing
[02:32] <soundray> tonyyarusso: wait till you've listened to it ;)
[02:32] <[blah] > thanks psusi
[02:32] <jbroome> lnx__: depends on your hardware, but it works fine for me
[02:32] <chavo> I'm running dapper now and it's been very stable so far
[02:32] <lnx__> jbroome, okay i'll give it a go
[02:32] <chavo> but you never know what could happen
[02:32] <whiter> i dont see a reason to go dapper as long as breezy is stable enough
[02:32] <whiter> i just want the new gnome
[02:33] <Madpilot> whiter, for that, you'll need Dapper - just wait six weeks
[02:33] <mikebot> anyone know why when switching from alt+f7 to ctrl+alt+f1, my numlock goes off?
[02:33] <soundray> whiter: I've got dapper and gnome 2.13.92 and I don't see that big a difference.
[02:33] <lnx__> jbroome: will i need to install any plugins?
[02:33] <jbroome> lnx__: nope
[02:34] <mikebot> LjL: do you know how i can chagne the font used in irssi
[02:34] <Soviet-Toast> could i WINE limewire?
[02:34] <whiter> Soviet-Toast it wont work
[02:34] <cyphase> *sigh*
[02:34] <Soviet-Toast> oh ok
[02:34] <whiter> ive tried..
[02:34] <whiter> but there is a limewire for linux though
[02:34] <cyphase> i need to do a 100% fresh install
[02:35] <LjL> mikebot: you can't, in general. irssi uses the console font. you can change the console font though ;-) how to do that depends on what you're using as a console...
[02:35] <cyphase> not even transfer settings
[02:35] <cyphase> soundray, i don't get it..
[02:35] <cyphase> or i'm not sure i do
[02:35] <Soviet-Toast> ill probly just wait untul cal comes online tomorrow, he'll set gnutella up for me
[02:35] <whiter> gtk-gnutella?
[02:35] <jonoxer> Question: with apt-setup removed from d-i, what is it in the installer that initiates creating the initial user, setting up network, etc? In other words, it used to be possible to install Ubuntu into a chroot by doing debootstrap / apt-setup, but that no longer works
[02:35] <mikebot> LjL: what am i using as a console?
[02:35] <Soviet-Toast> yes
[02:35] <tonyyarusso> soundray: Oh my...
[02:35] <whiter> just go to their website..
[02:35] <soundray> cyphase: I thought you tried to shoot me here a while ago.
[02:35] <whiter> you need help installing gtk-gnutella, i could help
[02:36] <cyphase> soundray, i don't think so
[02:36] <cyphase> :)
[02:36] <LjL> mikebot: i don't know. i use Konsole. under gnome... uhm gnome-terminal i think? anyway, there ought to be a menu, with something like Settings or whatever, that lets you set the font
[02:36] <cyphase> whiter, it's not hard
[02:36] <whiter> i dont particularly like gtk-gnutella though
[02:36] <whiter> cyphase i know..
[02:36] <cyphase> wjiter, sudo apt-get install gtk-gnutella
[02:36] <mikebot> LjL: okay, thanks
[02:36] <cyphase> or synaptic, or gnome-app-install
[02:36] <whiter> cyphase, no.
[02:36] <whiter> it installs the older version
[02:37] <cyphase> whiter, oh yea..
[02:37] <soundray> cyphase: sometimes it's nice to start from a clean slate. Make sure you blog the experience, so others can learn from it.
[02:37] <cyphase> i keep getting the message
[02:37] <kniteshade> gday all
[02:37] <cyphase> soundray, i'm going to keep my data :)
[02:37] <whiter> gtk-gnutella comes in .deb packages on their site...
[02:37] <tonyyarusso> Any way to convert .odt to .doc besides opening it in OOo and saving again?  (Like a command line 'odt2doc file' sort of thing.)
[02:37] <cyphase> soundray, but not copy config folders, like .gconf2
[02:37] <cyphase> etc
[02:38] <Madpilot> tonyyarusso, try "man openoffice" or ...oowriter or similar
[02:38] <mikebot> LjL: do i have to like refresh this terminal?
[02:38] <cyphase> just have a clean install, and put my old home folder in "Old Home"
[02:38] <cyphase> lol
[02:38] <IdleOne> ok I installed gmail-notify from repos how do I use it now?
[02:38] <birdfish> I am trying to log in to my route so that I can see it's settings, but every time that I try, I get the response "error reading from socket"
[02:38] <birdfish> I am using Links2
[02:38] <[blah] > how do I restart my sound server?
[02:38] <soundray> cyphase: you could just move those directories out of the way while you're not logged in, and have them created afresh.
[02:38] <birdfish> Anyone know what the problem might be?
[02:38] <cyphase> soundray, i know
[02:38] <Madpilot> IdleOne, add it to your Sessions setup - System -> Prefs -> Setup
[02:39] <cyphase> soundray, i'm going to wait for dapper
[02:39] <pbransford> how can i go about getting firefox 1.5 in ubuntu without avoiding the APT system entirely?
[02:39] <LjL> mikebot: don't really know :\ you should ask somebody who has Gnome
[02:39] <Madpilot> !tell pbransford about ff1.5
[02:39] <cyphase> soundray, then.. aaaaaalll my old stuff is going into the "Old Home" folder
[02:39] <IdleOne> Madpilot>  found the setup in menu thanks..path to firefox is /opt/firefox?
[02:39] <pbransford> and also, I'm using gnome. any other decent browsers that I can use besides mozilla and opera?
[02:39] <cyphase> just take it out as i need it
[02:40] <kameron> i haven't rebooted in nearly a month.. but when i did today, i got this message: "Loading UbuntuEBDA is big; kernel setup stack overlaps LILO second stage".. i use lilo. i couldn't figure out the problem, so i did a fresh install, to no avail, this still happens. anyone know the problem?
[02:40] <pbransford> * that doesn't require KDE libs
[02:40] <cyphase> see what's still in there after a month :P
[02:40] <[blah] > How do I restart my audio drivers?
[02:40] <cyphase> i need to find a complete set of 100% linux compatible high end hardware

[02:41] <pppoe_dude> hi. how do i "print to file" (postscript) using LPR on the commandline?
[02:41] <soundray> cyphase: money is no object?
[02:41] <whiter> Soviet-Toast wine wont go in your programs
[02:41] <whiter> you start it from the command line
[02:41] <mikebot> can you paste in gnome-terminal?
[02:41] <cyphase> soundray, well, i don't want to get a $2,000 video card

[02:48] <whiter> what dir
[02:48] <whiter> exactly...
[02:48] <soundray> [blah] : the more hardcore way to do it is 'sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop ; sudo rmmod snd-atiixp ; sudo modprobe snd-atiixp ; sudo /etc/alsa-utils start' (replace atiixp with the appropriate string for your driver)
[02:48] <whiter> /hda1/Program Files ?

[02:51] <Psi-Jack> bimberi: Poifect. Thanks.
[02:51] <bimberi> Psi-Jack: np :)
[02:52] <whiter> wow
[02:52] <soundray> [blah] , run lsmod | grep snd_ and look for a line that has only three columns.
[02:52] <whiter> i didnt know grand theft auto: san andreas ran on linux
[02:52] <whiter> thats cool
[02:52] <Psi-Jack> Man, running Windows 2K for too long under VMPlayer really eats the system.
[02:53] <Soviet-Toast> any better audio players than VLC

[02:54] <pppoe_dude> is there a fast way (from comamand line) to convert PNG -> Postscript?
[02:54] <Daverag> I got a problem, all my desktop icons have dissapeared and I can't right click on the desktop, any idea what could be wrong?
[02:54] <Lao> hello all how is everyone/
[02:55] <soundray> pppoe_dude: use pngtopnm and pnmtops from the netpbm package
[02:55] <engla> I found two great windowmanaging tools/tricks for my gnome de, but I'd like tips for more. My two hints: skippy-xd (exposelike thing, with composite it actually is really usable) and _vertical-only_ maximization (with metacity)
[02:55] <Lao> i have a question about amd xp mobile
[02:55] <engla> What other cool stuff can I do?
[02:56] <IdleOne> Daverag>  what were you doing or trying to do before this happened?
[02:56] <Daverag> installed the new compiz packages from the forum
[02:56] <Lao> i can't get it to run at it's full processor speed only the lowest which is like 760 mhz
[02:57] <soundray> Daverag: wrong place, go to #ubuntu+1
[02:57] <IdleOne> Daverag>  compiz is for Dapper
[02:57] <[blah] > im going the ol' fashioned way...
[02:57] <pppoe_dude> soundray thanks ill try that
[02:57] <soundray> Lao, try "sudo /etc/init.d/powernowd stop"
[02:57] <Daverag> idleone: i'm on it... it's been working great out of the box with v4
[02:57] <Lao> ok
[02:58] <MoSiLa> hi any
[02:58] <IdleOne> Daverag>  I dont know about Dapper yet they will be able to help more inn #ubuntu+1
[02:58] <simen> har en gammel laptop 400mhz amd prosessor 124 mb ram. hva synes dere jeg br installere p denne? vil ubuntu funke?
[02:58] <erisco> is there any list of supported graphic cards (for Ubuntu) posted on the web somewhere?
[02:58] <Daverag> but what package takes care of the desktop?
[02:58] <Lao> how can i tell my processor speed in ubuntu, i saw this in windows when i was running vmware
[02:58] <engla> !no
[02:58] <ubotu> Ahh, too bad, I really thought so...
[02:58] <IdleOne> Daverag>  gnome-desktop i would guess its the same in Dapper
[02:58] <soundray> simen: ubuntu will *just* work on this machine. Consider xubuntu-desktop (xfce).
[02:59] <LjL> simen: det ska fungera, men lngsamt
[02:59] <engla> simen: #ubuntu-no finnes, hvis du vil
[02:59] <n00bmaster> when the kernel boots it should tell you the proc speed
[03:00] <soundray> Lao: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz
[03:00] <LjL> engla: can you translate "Join #ubuntu-no for chatting in norwegian" pls?
[03:00] <jbroome> bork bork bork
[03:00] <engla> LjL: oki
[03:01] <Madpilot> IdleOne, sorry, was afk - and I'm not sure what FF's paths are, I never use it
[03:01] <Snake__> Has anyone tried this?? http://sourceforge.net/projects/reaim/
[03:01] <Lao> nah it's still saying 786mhz
[03:01] <IdleOne> Madpilot>  no problem I figured it out i RTFM lmao
[03:01] <adam_> How would I make the numlock key come on automatically when the system boots? (is there an easy way to do so?)
[03:01] <Madpilot> !numlock
[03:01] <ubotu> Madpilot: What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[03:01] <Madpilot> adam_, wiki.ubuntu.com/NumLock
[03:02] <IdleOne> numlock is great :)
[03:02] <adam_> Madpilot, Okay, thanks :)
[03:02] <Madpilot> !numlock
[03:02] <ubotu> it has been said that numlock is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NumLock
[03:02] <Madpilot> there
[03:03] <soundray> Lao: you may have a buggy ACPI implementation.
[03:03] <IdleOne> Madpilot>  you really are a Linux Guru *blinded by the medal*
[03:03] <engla> ubotu: no is /w 17
[03:03] <ubotu> Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, engla
[03:03] <engla> oops
[03:03] <Madpilot> IdleOne, bleh :P
[03:03] <Snake__> I guess not...
[03:03] <Snake__> :(
[03:03] <soundray> Lao, or your numbers may be unreliable if you're in a virtual machine.
[03:04] <IdleOne> Snake__>  what is it?
[03:04] <Snake__> IdleOne: I guess to make direct connects over the AIM network
[03:04] <IdleOne> Snake__>  use gaim
[03:05] <engla> LjL: how do I teach ubotu my new message in norwegian?
[03:05] <Snake__> IdleOne: GAIM doesnt want to connect
[03:05] <Snake__> IdleOne: I tried it
[03:05] <Snake__> I might try 2.0 tho
[03:05] <IdleOne> Snake__>  you can try kopete
[03:05] <Snake__> IdleOne: I have.
[03:06] <Snake__> IdleOne: I've tried several other things as well, and none of them can direct connect, or send files.
[03:06] <IdleOne> Snake__>  trillium
[03:06] <IdleOne> not sure if that is available on linux
[03:06] <IdleOne> trillian?
[03:07] <Snake__> IdleOne: No Its not, and its not a problem with the programs, its something else, but im not quite sure
[03:07] <etsb> why am i not receiving any auto updates?
[03:07] <pppoe_dude> soundray thanks this worked but the file size is too big, is there a way to have pnmtops compress the file? (it didnt say in the man page()
[03:07] <IdleOne> Snake__>  it's probably a identd problem. google identd or it may be your router? shots in the dark here ;/
[03:07] <Snake__> They all have the OPTION to connect and what not, but non are sucessful. And when they are they move at 1-3 kbps
[03:08] <jessid_> hello, me again. I have this problem: If I need to install several packages in a machine that does not have internet (I have those packages in a CD ROM), what tool should I use?
[03:08] <soundray> pppoe_dude: either gzip file.ps or add an extra step, converting it to pdf (ps2pdf)
[03:09] <IdleOne> jessid_>  put the cd in the machine then apt-get install packages
[03:09] <soundray> pppoe_dude: ps2pdf is in gs-common
[03:09] <pppoe_dude> soundray, ok thanks :) i can still do this after I merge the ps files right?
[03:09] <jessid_> IdleOne is that enough even if those packages have a lot of dependencies? I have them also in the CD
[03:10] <soundray> pppoe_dude: I can't see why not. Don't do it before, though.
[03:10] <IdleOne> jessid_>  if they are all on the cd yeah it should work
[03:10] <pppoe_dude> soundray, thanks
[03:10] <jessid_> IdleOne ok, thanks
[03:10] <IdleOne> jessid_>  no problem good luck
[03:10] <jessid_> IdleOne thats what i need
[03:10] <carlk> isn't there some thing like apt-zip that will make a zip off all the deps needed to install something?
[03:11] <carlk> "like" is a key word there...
[03:11] <IdleOne> CarlFK>  id there isnt there should be
[03:11] <IdleOne> carlk>
[03:12] <CarlFK> IdleOne: same person, different box ;)
[03:12] <natex> hey folks, I have a remote winxp laptop, and want to connect to a linux server behind a firewall at home. what's the best way to be able to browse a shared directory tree with the laptop?
[03:12] <IdleOne> lol
[03:13] <IdleOne> natex>  openssh
[03:13] <Kr4t05> How can I create a user via terminal?
[03:13] <samwh> useradd
[03:13] <soundray> Kr4t05: sudo adduser username
[03:13] <IdleOne> natex>  server on the machine you are connecting to and client on the connecty
[03:14] <Kr4t05> soundray: Thanks, man
[03:14] <samwh> hey braniff
[03:14] <natex> IdleOne, I'd like to not have to use putty or ssh client, I want to browse with explorer.exe
[03:14] <hondadarrell> anyone tried installing UT2004 on ubuntu?
[03:14] <braniff> hello
[03:14] <IdleOne> natex>  not sure sorry
[03:14] <natex> IdleOne, k thanks
[03:15] <pppoe_dude> soundray, one more thing. i managhed to make the picture landscape in PS (-noturn option) but after i convert to pdf (ps2pdf) it scales it down in a portrait. man page doesnt give much, anyway to keep it landscape?
[03:15] <IdleOne> natex>  ftp maybe
[03:15] <samwh> If you just want to BROWSE, natex, try http or ftp
[03:15] <soundray> natex: I guess it would be possible via samba, but not in a safe way. If you could run Linux on the laptop, you could use sshfs
[03:15] <samwh> try http://www.rejetto.com/sw/
[03:15] <natex> soundray, yeah, I may need to tunnel samba thru ssh, or use a vpn
[03:16] <soundray> pppoe_dude: the full documentation of ps2pdf is somewhat hidden. Give me a minute...
[03:16] <natex> samwh, well actually browse and manipulate files
[03:16] <dotslashroot> I cannot get my Intel pro-wireless 2200 to work.  Keeps saying  No DHCPOFFERS received  any ideas?

[03:17] <ubotu> it has been said that wireless is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards if it does not work out of the box https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper windows drivers

[03:20] <soundray> pppoe_dude: and I found the hidden doc I was talking about: /usr/share/doc/gs-esp/Ps2pdf.htm (you need gs-esp obviously).
[03:20] <Kr4t05> Ok, I made a new user, how do I give them sudo powers?
[03:20] <soundray> Kr4t05: sudo adduser newuser admin

[03:20] <braniff> dotslashroot, what does "# iwlist <netvworkdevice> scan" say ?
[03:20] <skreel> samwh yes
[03:20] <dotslashroot> braniff:   iwlist eth1 scan says "eth1 no scan results"
[03:20] <skreel> samwh but i understan english
[03:20] <braniff> dotslashroot,  well there you go
[03:21] <dotslashroot> ?
[03:21] <unix_infidel> hey guys, i'm on a thinkpad and your acpi packge is auto configured to change governors on powernowd and cpufreqd to change when i plug in / out the AC adapter.
[03:21] <samwh> skreel, so NO 3d apps are accelerated?
[03:21] <unix_infidel> ho can i configure this?
[03:21] <braniff> dotslashroot, i'm assuming you did that as root
[03:21] <skreel> samwh thats correct
[03:21] <dotslashroot> braniff:  did it sudo
[03:21] <skreel> samwh i don't now wath to do :S
[03:21] <soundray> unix_infidel: in /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf I think.
[03:22] <pppoe_dude> soundray, thnks
[03:22] <skreel> samwh i find a guida but say the same steps
[03:22] <braniff> dotslashroot, if things were working correctly, that command would have found your ap
[03:22] <unix_infidel> soundray: no such file.
[03:22] <samwh> skreel, try posting on the forums, i have an NVIDIA, and that LOOKS like it should work
[03:22] <noata> i have a crazy idea copy and paste in google translater
[03:22] <dotslashroot> braniff:   I know..that's why I am here ;)
[03:22] <samwh> I dont know squat about ATIS
[03:22] <hikenboot> anyone in here built custom xen dom0 kernels on ubuntu?
[03:22] <samwh> Any ati user wanna help skreel?
[03:23] <[blah] > my totem is not giving me any audio.  XMMS is giving audio but only from the right channel.
[03:23] <[blah] > how do I know if my sound drivers are properly installed?
[03:23] <PuMpErNiCkLe> [blah] : Have you checked the mixer settings?
[03:23] <braniff> dotslashroot, the next step is to look at settings for your ap
[03:23] <skreel> samwh thnx
[03:23] <soundray> unix_infidel: if you don't have that package, I think you have to fix it in /etc/default/acpi-support (last line)
[03:24] <dotslashroot> braniff:  I looked in networking and it is active and set to dhcp
[03:24] <hikenboot> [blah]  lsmod
[03:24] <[blah] > PuMpErNiCkLe, Volume Control only gives me master sound and that is all the way up
[03:24] <babo> Hi guys, does anyone know why my ftp client won't transfer .tpl html template files ... ?
[03:24] <unix_infidel> soundray: its off by defualt.
[03:24] <babo> I have detection set to automatic
[03:24] <dotslashroot> [blah] :  when my volume is all the way up I only get audio on one side too...back it off a little and see if that works
[03:24] <[blah] > hikenboot, lsmod shows my card listed
[03:25] <whiter> anyone know where Wine's C:\ is
[03:25] <whiter> or what it calls the C:\
[03:25] <unix_infidel> anyone else with some insight?
[03:25] <unix_infidel> hey guys, i'm on a thinkpad and your acpi packge is auto configured to change governors on powernowd and cpufreqd to change when i plug in / out the AC adapter.
[03:25] <braniff> dotslashroot, is wireless networking enabled for your ap? also, have you run "# iwconfig eth1 essid any" ??
[03:25] <atoponce> question
[03:25] <hikenboot> [blah
[03:25] <skreel> who have ati??? i have a problem whit the acceleration porblem!!! plz
[03:25] <hikenboot> you get no sound?
[03:25] <dotslashroot> braniff:  I use my WAP in windows just fine.  I have the ESSID set in networking to the correct setting
[03:26] <atoponce> how does ubuntu update the kernel?  if i were to patch it with openmosix, and the kernel updates, will i lose the patches?
[03:26] <babo> it doesn't seem to be able to 'save locally' ... although php files work fine in the transfer
[03:26] <IdleOne> whats the command to see what version of ubuntu your running?
[03:26] <soundray> unix_infidel: my first answer would definitely fit, but you'd have to install the laptop-mode-tools package.
[03:26] <bimberi> !version
[03:26] <ubotu> rumour has it, version is lsb_release -a or cat /etc/issue
[03:26] <[blah] > dotslashroot, I lowered the volume and took it back up, now Im getting no sound again from xmms (as well as totem)
[03:26] <IdleOne> bimberi>  thank you
[03:26] <braniff> dotslashroot, that last command should be run on your linux client
[03:26] <bimberi> IdleOne: yw :)
[03:26] <unix_infidel> soundray: well, i'd like to configure it with just acpi  b/c i know that's psossible.
[03:26] <unix_infidel> as every acpi package doesnt do auto mode changes.
[03:26] <skreel> who have ati??? i have a problem whit the acceleration porblem!!! plz
[03:26] <egon_spengler> skreel, I have a 9250 ATI card
[03:27] <[blah] > hikenboot, xmms gives me audio, but only as long as I dont touch the fader and apperantly the master volume control as well
[03:27] <dotslashroot> braniff:   It wont work if I put it in by hand?  I have it set right.  I will try to set it to any and see if that works
[03:27] <atoponce> any ideas?
[03:27] <whiter> anyone got an idea as to where wine makes the C:\ when an exe runs?
[03:27] <skreel> egon_spengler i have ati radeon 9200 se but i don't have the correct configuration i think :S
[03:27] <whiter> it isnt my fs cause thats Z:\
[03:27] <[blah] > hickenboot  asla-utils restart does nothing
[03:27] <dyggMerald> anyone know how to make totem behave while using Gstreamer?
[03:27] <soundray> unix_infidel: the action happens in /etc/acpi/power.sh -- maybe you want to fiddle with this.
[03:28] <ipfw> aye, I dropped ubuntu on my friends box and it just gave him a base with no grapics(X)... any ideas why ?
[03:28] <hikenboot> [blah]  what happens when you reboot
[03:28] <braniff> white, somewhere in ~/.wine
[03:28] <ipfw> I used the same CD on my box and it fired right up with gnome after the install
[03:28] <dyggMerald> fpfw: it may be driver related
[03:28] <brenner> dyggMerald: i (and many others) just switch to totem-xine
[03:28] <skreel> egon_spengler you now any link for my problem
[03:28] <skreel> egon_spengler ???
[03:28] <hikenboot> sound on ubuntu worked out of the box for me ..on debian and fedora it was a differnet story
[03:28] <[blah] > hikenboot, I reboot 3 times.  I get sound with xmms after rebooting as long as I dont touch the fader or master volume control
[03:29] <IdleOne> ipfw>  sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop
[03:29] <egon_spengler> skreel join channel #skreelhelp
[03:29] <dyggMerald> ipfw: display driver related ?
[03:29] <skreel> egon_spengler i try whit this but didin't work http://www.genbeta.com/archivos/2005/04/29-aceleracion-3d-para-tarjetas-.php
[03:29] <IdleOne> ipfw>  probably did a server install is why no GUI
[03:29] <skreel> egon_spengler ok
[03:29] <dyggMerald> brenner: I said "while using GSTREAMER"
[03:29] <[blah] > hikenboot, right now all I hear is static
[03:29] <ipfw> IdleOne : I thought I might have by mistake, but I even went back and did another install with no luck
[03:30] <engla> IdleOne: how come people so often accidentally install a server install? It doesn't seem like it's very easy to do unless you know you can do it
[03:30] <hikenboot> are you using alsa or ESD?
[03:30] <ipfw> IdleOne : is it normal to need to do that ?
[03:30] <dyggMerald> ipfw. of course it isnt
[03:30] <songo> problems trying to run skype
[03:30] <calyth> Is there any way to remove totem's plugin in Firefox? It isn't working all that well
[03:30] <songo> skype: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[03:30] <IdleOne> ipfw>  no I dont think it is buit Im at a loss
[03:30] <PuMpErNiCkLe> [blah] : You should be able to modify settings for other channels as well as other options in the mixer.  By default, though, they're not enabled... right-click on the volume control applet in the panel -> open volume control -> preferences -> select all tracks to be visible.  These options may give you some idea as to what's wrong.
[03:31] <ipfw> IdleOne : only diff was, my box didn't have net when I installed, so I was thinking maybe his was messing something up by using net (and it failing) and not the cd itself
[03:31] <unix_infidel> soundray: ok, so how would i mess with laptop-mode-tools.
[03:31] <dyggMerald> ipfw. there is probably some trouble with the hardware.. usually it can be fixed.. if u invest some time..
[03:31] <IdleOne> engla>  ppl alot of times mistake a server install as meaning they will run a mail server so they should do a server install not realising that it has no GUI
[03:31] <soundray> unix_infidel: 'sudo apt-get install  laptop-mode-tools', edit /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf
[03:31] <ipfw> dyggMerald : its not that X didn't start, its not _there_ at all :P
[03:31] <IdleOne> ipfw>  nahh thats not it
[03:32] <dyggMerald> ipfw: you mean that the packages arent installed ?
[03:32] <songo> hey... i've some problems trying to run fresh installed skype
[03:32] <ipfw> dyggMerald : yeah, it put on _bare_ base, no X or wm or anything
[03:32] <songo> skype: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[03:32] <engla> IdleOne: okay.. but when I installed (on a ppc), it was like .. hit enter to continue and you had to do some magic keystrokes to get anything else than standard install.. so I didn't understand how new users found the option even
[03:32] <ipfw> dyggMerald : its like it did a "server" install, without me telling it to
[03:33] <Bung> anyone here have the xfce4-goodies working?
[03:33] <IdleOne> engla>  ppc is not worth the plastic it's built with imho
[03:33] <ipfw> Bung : I might
[03:33] <dyggMerald> ipfw: and you didnt have internet while installing ?
[03:33] <engla> IdleOne: what does that have to do with it?
[03:33] <ipfw> dyggMerald : I did on his system, was able to use wget and everything
[03:33] <Bung> after # apt-get install xfce4 and xfce4-goodies, and restarting the panel, they are still not in the list of items i can add to the panel
[03:34] <ipfw> dyggMerald : on my box (this one) that installed fine, the net wasn't hooked up
[03:34] <IdleOne> engla>  meaning ppc makes everything harder to install/use/configure
[03:34] <[blah] > I did a alsa-utils reset and now I have audio but not in totem
[03:34] <Bung> I even tried restarting xfce
[03:34] <dyggMerald> ipfw: so after a bunch of wget's u fixed his install  ?
[03:34] <juliano> ei alguem sabe como qui axa o outro hd tipo eu tenho dois hd separados
[03:34] <juliano> um com ubunto e outro com
[03:35] <engla> IdleOne: I'd venture to guess that it has to do with the attention the platform gets, not the qualities of the platform
[03:35] <IdleOne> !br
[03:35] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br (/j #ubuntu-br) para ajuda em portugues. Obrigada.
[03:35] <ipfw> dyggMerald : no, his install is still broken right now... going back tomorrow to see what I can do.. thinking about just making a tarBall of mine :P
[03:35] <dyggMerald> ipfw: I'm still thinking that it may be hardware related..
[03:36] <dyggMerald> ipfw: maybe the whole X system depends on having a gfx driver.. and it cannot find one
[03:36] <ipfw> dyggMerald : its a nvidia card
[03:36] <unix_infidel> soundray: well i want the governor to NOT be changed and be able to use the userspace governor at all times.
[03:36] <soundray> Bung: did you get an install error? Check with 'sudo dpkg --pending --configure'
[03:36] <dyggMerald> ipfw: TT
[03:36] <dyggMerald> ipfw: there isnt any 'unusual hardware" in his computer ?
[03:36] <unix_infidel> how would i make that happen with laptop-mode.conf
[03:37] <Bung> soundray: this is actually on my friends laptop, which im not at, so ill have him run it and let me know, thanks for the tip
[03:37] <ipfw> dyggMerald : sound/video and everything works with both the ubuntu, and knoppix live CD's
[03:38] <soundray> unix_infidel: there is a way to configure that. There is documentation in man laptop_mode, man laptop-mode.conf and /usr/share/doc/laptop-mode-tools/
[03:38] <dyggMerald> ipfw: everything works with both the ubuntu"       - didnt you say that the install was broken ?
[03:39] <ipfw> dyggMerald : the ubuntu LIVE CD fires up and all the hardware/etc works fine...
[03:39] <ipfw> dyggMerald : the Install CD for it refuses to install anything but the bare/base system
[03:39] <dyggMerald> ok
[03:39] <dyggMerald> ipfw: what version is it ? breezy ?
[03:39] <ipfw> dyggMerald : in fact, the first time, it didn't install grub ... and it never goes on to ask me what packages it should install after it does the base ones
[03:39] <dotslashroot> braniff:  ok I set essid any but it still says "no working leases in persistent database  -  sleeping"
[03:39] <ipfw> dyggMerald : yep, 5.10
[03:40] <IdleOne> Bung>  you may want to try installing xubuntu ( comes with the goodies )
[03:40] <dyggMerald> i've had some trouble with grub when you choose some filesystem like xfs..
[03:40] <ipfw> dyggMerald : sad part, it being so easy to install here (on this laptop), made it my choice for his install :P
[03:41] <braniff> dotslashroot, does iwlist eth1 scan find your ap now ?
[03:41] <ipfw> dyggMerald : well, I went default ext3 first go, and later went reiserfs and just installed grub myself
[03:41] <dyggMerald> is the livecd from the same linux generation ?
[03:42] <ipfw> yes, live CD of ubuntu is 5.10 also
[03:42] <dotslashroot> braniff:  eth1 no scan results
[03:42] <[blah] > okay Im getting audio WMV (but no video) but no other file plays audio in totem
[03:42] <RabidSnail> When I try to start mysqld I get "[ERROR]  Can't start server: cannot resolve hostname!: Success"
[03:43] <braniff> dotslashroot, maybe someone can help you in #wireless
[03:43] <ddonky> sound
[03:43] <dyggMerald> ipfw: it seems very odd, sometimes ppl can get these unusual errors and it may be hard to solve . (fast) how about trying another dist ? or wait for dapper to release ?
[03:44] <dotslashroot> braniff:  ok I will try.  Thanks.  People in here have said this card worked out of the box for them.
[03:44] <iceman> !ntfs
[03:44] <ubotu> somebody said ntfs was the filesystem used in Windows 2000 and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[03:45] <[blah] > what is an alternative to totem?
[03:45] <dyggMerald> mplayer..
[03:45] <RabidSnail> blah: try vlc
[03:45] <dyggMerald> xine
[03:45] <Morfosomo> [blah] , vlc
[03:45] <dyggMerald> totem with xine
[03:45] <RabidSnail> or xmms
[03:45] <[blah] > vlc for ubuntu...   :)
[03:45] <Morfosomo> works great for me
[03:45] <dyggMerald> what toolkit does vlc use ? i bet it integrates poorly with gtk or qt
[03:46] <RabidSnail> there are versions for gtk and gnome
[03:46] <RabidSnail> and it also has a custom skin interface
[03:46] <dyggMerald> i love mplayer but i cant stand the look in a gnome based world
[03:47] <RabidSnail> vlc works better out of the box, too
[03:47] <dyggMerald>  custom skin interface... eeek
[03:47] <skreel> whit wine can play warcraft 3? o counter-strike?
[03:47] <RabidSnail> it's off by default
[03:47] <dyggMerald> skreel: a bit
[03:47] <cubikdice> hello everyone, i just completed the first stage on the install for 5.10 and itrestarted to computer to do all the downloading and such...but when i restarted it just loaded winderz again...no grub...and i wrote it to the MBR...any suggestion?
[03:47] <dyggMerald> skreel: last time i tried steem didnt work very well, .. wc3 also had issues..
[03:48] <braniff> cubikdice, ALWAYS install windows first
[03:48] <cubikdice> it was on there first
[03:48] <cubikdice> ajaja
[03:48] <cubikdice> ahah
[03:48] <cubikdice> cuzi know it messes with it
[03:48] <cubikdice> it came pre installed
[03:48] <rodo> how do i enable root and then login as root?
[03:48] <cubikdice> i just got a new computer
[03:48] <dyggMerald> cubikdice: its np
[03:48] <cubikdice> np?
[03:48] <cubikdice> no problem
[03:48] <cubikdice> ?
[03:48] <skreel> dyggMerald but people say to me can i play whit wine in the exact way i play in windows
[03:48] <cubikdice> it's a problem right now
[03:49] <dyggMerald> cubikdice: just login using a livcd .. chroot to the current install .. and then repair the boot manager
[03:49] <cubikdice> ...oh yeah sure...i'll just...'poof' repair it lol how and how do i do this?
[03:49] <carlk> once I have installed the nvidia package, whats the command to "activate" it?
[03:49] <dyggMerald> cubikdice:  you do it by reinstalling grub/lilo
[03:49] <yuri_> im having trouble playing dvd's. I've tried vlc, noatun, xine, mplayer and none seem to work. At most, they open the "FBI warning" but none of the other .vob files seem to register
[03:49] <sorush20> how do I get the cool role over kde osx menu?
[03:50] <odat> anyone familiar with fakraid?
[03:50] <cubikdice> dyggMerald, and i do THAT how?
[03:50] <odat> fakeraid i mean
[03:50] <cubikdice> dyggMerald, should i go into the liveCD and come back?
[03:50] <Goldfisch> !tell yuri_ about dvd
[03:50] <carlk> odat: is that some sort of software raid?
[03:50] <yuri_> thanks
[03:50] <cubikdice> dyggMerald, will you help me then?
[03:51] <odat> carlk, yes
[03:51] <RabidSnail> how do I stop mysqld from dying with "can't start server: cannot resolve hostname: Success"?
[03:51] <dyggMerald> skreel: well it is possible with some versions of wine.. altho i dont think it works with the current wine.. cedega handles both perfectly but u have to pay
[03:51] <dyggMerald> cubicdice: sure
[03:51] <cubikdice> alright cool brb
[03:51] <carlk> odat: I have been playing with the installers raid setup, but not after the fact
[03:52] <rbanffy> Hi All. I have a machine with 3 NICs, A SiS900 that is eth0, a 8139B that's eth1 and another 8139B that is recognized during boot, but fails to become eth2. Anyone has any ideas of what is going on?
[03:52] <ipfw> dyggMerald : you don't think that would matter do you, that I was using the x86 cd on his amd64 box ?
[03:52] <GameOver69> hey i have ati graphics card installed and used the default glx drivers.. but the games run soooooooooo slow... the simplest of them
[03:52] <GameOver69> how can i fix this
[03:52] <Goldfisch> rbanffy: Is there network traffic on eth2? No traffic might be disabling it from coming up.
[03:53] <glick> excuse me i have a question...is there anyway to make a direct pc to pc connection via ethernet
[03:53] <glick> ?
[03:53] <glick> plug one end into one pc and the other end into the other pc?
[03:53] <RabidSnail> it's called a cross-over cable
[03:53] <Goldfisch> glick: Usually you need a crossover cable to link the two ethernet cards together.
[03:53] <carlk> GameOver69: there is an ati package that will install the binary drivers
[03:53] <glick> Goldfisch, a crossover cable will do it?
[03:53] <RabidSnail> it should
[03:53] <GameOver69> carlk, yeah but its for cards 8500 and up
[03:54] <GameOver69> i have a radeon mobility 7500
[03:54] <TrendyDark> glick, what are you trying to do exactly?
[03:54] <glick> TrendyDark, connect my and a friends laptops so we can get work done together
[03:54] <rbanffy> Goldfisch: There should be no traffic because it is a DSL line that I intend to use as a fallback to the main link.
[03:54] <rbanffy> Goldfisch: Is there a way to "convince" it?
[03:55] <Goldfisch> rbanffy: Are you able to use ifconfig manually to bring up the eth2? If not, then there is another issue happening here.
[03:55] <TrendyDark> oh, okay, glick. i once tried connecting two computers for an hour to send a game from one to the other, ended up just using AIM lol
[03:55] <rbanffy> Goldfisch: I get this on dmesg:

[03:56] <carlk> rbanffy: 7 too many ;)
[03:56] <Aven> hey
[03:56] <RabidSnail> does anybody know what's causing mysqld to die with "cannot resolve hostname"?
[03:56] <rbanffy> carlk: sorry. I tought they were going as a single message
[03:57] <Aven> with gnome-terminal... when I run in screen, how do I reopen the screen when I close it?
[03:57] <rbanffy> Morfosomo: Sorry
[03:57] <carlk> Aven: screen -r
[03:57] <Goldfisch> rbanffy: I wonder...maybe you are having a problem with the number of IRQs on that machine. I one time had trouble reaching everything until I added noapic to the boot up arguments.
[03:57] <Morfosomo> its ok, we all learn from our mistakes
[03:57] <Aven> ah, thank you carlk
[03:57] <donnie> howdy, has anyone else had trouble with libmad?
[03:57] <Aven> carlk: if I'm afk, and I'm using another PC... would screen -r work with irssi? meaning it opens the same irssi where I am?
[03:58] <Goldfisch> RabidSnail: Check /etc/mysql/my.cnf and see about configuring the server's hostname. Then try to start it again, and see if that works.
[03:58] <carlk> Aven: yup
[03:58] <rbanffy> Goldfisch: What does "noapic" do?
[03:58] <Aven> awesome
[03:59] <rbanffy> Goldfisch: The funny part is that is recognized at [   43.308358]  and I never hear from it again
[03:59] <root_> anybody ever have problems running xwindows with a radeon?
[03:59] <brandan> as soon as xwindows loads the gui is frozen, save for the mouse
[04:00] <brandan> and it looks 'garbled'
[04:00] <ddonky> apic is something to do with puwer suspend
[04:00] <yuri_> im having trouble playing dvd's. I've tried vlc, noatun, xine, mplayer and none seem to work. At most, they open the "FBI warning" but none of the other .vob files seem to register. I have also install libdvdcss2
[04:00] <dotslashroot> well there are 106 people in #wireless and I am getting no reply
[04:00] <Goldfisch> APIC is Advanced Programmable Interrupts Controller (right guy?) It has to do with recognizing interrupts from devices. I always get this mixed up with APCI (or is it ACPI) which has to do with power management.
[04:00] <RabidSnail> Goldfisch:where in the file is the hostname defined?
[04:01] <FunnyLookinHat> yuri_, you need to install libdvdcss2
[04:01] <fred_maranhao> hi, is there a portuguese ubuntu channel?
[04:01] <yuri_> FunnyLookinHat: I mentioned that i already did that
[04:01] <FunnyLookinHat> yuri_, sorry, just caught your chat now.
[04:01] <Morfosomo> !pt
[04:01] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br (/j #ubuntu-br) ou #ubuntu-pt (/j #ubuntu-pt) para ajuda em portugues. Obrigada.
[04:01] <ddonky> APCI takes homeless animals
[04:01] <glick> so if i connect two PCs with a gross over cable they should be able to communicate via ethernet?
[04:01] <[blah] > how do I mount a network drive?
[04:01] <dotslashroot> glick: yup
[04:02] <birdfish> I'm trying to save my iptables configuration, but whenever I run the command "sudo iptables-save > /etc/iptables.up.rules", I get an error "-bash: /etc/iptables.up.rules: permission denied"
[04:02] <birdfish> What am I doing wrong?
[04:02] <carlk> birdfish: the > isn't part of the sudo
[04:02] <FunnyLookinHat> [blah] , go to Places -> Connect to Server
[04:02] <Morfosomo> glick yes,. set your ethernet cards to a static ip (one for each, diferent) and the same netmask and they should see each other
[04:02] <carlk> birdfish: there is some way to use () or tee or something...
[04:03] <[blah] > FunnyLookinHat, for a samba mount?
[04:03] <glick> cool thanks
[04:03] <ddonky> birdfish - why are you saving the backup to /etc ?
[04:03] <carlk> birdfish: but I would recomend >/somewhere user has rights to
[04:03] <cubikdice> frick!
[04:03] <[blah] > I want to mount the network drive to /mnt/networkpc/ for example
[04:03] <enderwiggin> when i run ./configure while trying to install libmad, i get an error saying that "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
[04:04] <birdfish> ddonky, carlk: I was just trying to follow the guide at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IptablesHowTo
[04:04] <Goldfisch> RabidSnail: Actually, I found the setting in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf.
[04:04] <FunnyLookinHat> [blah] , Yup, just select Windows Filesharing Network or whatever that option is
[04:05] <FunnyLookinHat> [blah] , Windows Share is correct option i believe
[04:05] <cubikdice> Hello everyone, i just completed the first part of the 5.10 install.. it wanted to restart to do the other half..you know..with the downloading and all..well after it restarted...winderz poped up...EVEN THO GRUB WAS INSTALLED and written to the MBR it...still....didnt...start. Any suggestions?
[04:06] <FunnyLookinHat> cubikdice, hmm...  I'm guessing you didn't do a full format
[04:06] <ddonky> birdfish - ok , i see.
[04:06] <ipfw> anyone in here installed the x86 on an amd64 box ?
[04:06] <XiCillin> once ubuntu 6.04 comes out will you be able to upgrade from apt-get?
[04:06] <PuMpErNiCkLe> XiCillin: yes
[04:06] <FunnyLookinHat> XiCillin, yes.
[04:06] <rbanffy> Goldfisch: noapic didn't work. "ifup eth2" told me "eth2: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device"
[04:06] <birdfish> ddonky: any other ideas on what I would do?
[04:06] <FunnyLookinHat> cubikdice, Try agian, and make sure that you sleect to install to MBR ?
[04:06] <FunnyLookinHat> Grub that is
[04:06] <cubikdice> FunnyLookinHat, well i did it on another drive...
[04:07] <cubikdice> i made sure i did the first time
[04:07] <XiCillin> i see howto's on upgrading to dapper now, and it has all these bad  warnings. it  wont be that risky after the 20th right?
[04:07] <cubikdice> i member pressing 'Yes'
[04:07] <cubikdice> ^_^
[04:07] <ddonky> birdfish - no, sorry
[04:07] <Goldfisch> rbanffy: Based on what I see, I take it that card is the same make/model as eth1?
[04:07] <birdfish> okay, thanks anyhow
[04:07] <rbanffy> Two identical boards
[04:07] <RabidSnail> Goldfisch: it was localhost, and i tried 127
[04:07] <RabidSnail> .0.0.1
[04:07] <FunnyLookinHat> cubikdice, if you are running more than one drive, it's possible that it installed to the MBR of your slave drive, which isn't read on bootup
[04:07] <RabidSnail> ,and the actual ip of the machine
[04:07] <rbanffy> Goldfisch: two identical boards
[04:08] <cubikdice> oh
[04:08] <cubikdice> how do i change this, it was my slave drive
[04:08] <FunnyLookinHat> cubikdice, My suggestion is to swap your drives (slave and master) and then try again, should work
[04:08] <Goldfisch> RabidSnail: Was localhost in your /etc/hosts file? Come to think of it, I think I see that error message when my system boots up. However, it doesn't seem to stop it from getting going.
[04:08] <FunnyLookinHat> cubikdice, it's on the jumper settings on the actual drives, little white pins that you move around on the physical hard drive
[04:08] <Goldfisch> rbanffy: I'm out of ideas.
[04:09] <Sowelu> Hey...I set up a shiny new Ubuntu box, but didn't install any network stuff while I was setting it up.  Now I've got a cable modem sitting here and have no idea how to make the Ubuntu machine see it / add the settings that I should have added while first installing Ubuntu...help?
[04:09] <rbanffy> Goldfisch: So am I. I guess I will put a VIA board there and dodge the dual-8139 problem.
[04:09] <cubikdice> cant i dont something in the BIOS? cuz the master is a SATA (with no jumper(no jumper = master)) and the slave is an IDE (set to CS right now)
[04:09] <Goldfisch> RabidSnail: If you do --> "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart", and then monitor things with "ps -ef | grep mysql", does it not come up?
[04:09] <cubikdice> FunnyLookinHat (sorry did add your name to it up top there)
[04:09] <FunnyLookinHat> cubikdice, oh crap, mixing the two.  You might be able to do it in the BIOS, but I've never worked with a system in that setting.  Try googling (sorry , but it's the best suggestion i can give)
[04:10] <cubikdice> alright
[04:10] <cubikdice> thanks..brb
[04:10] <cubikdice> hopefully
[04:10] <FunnyLookinHat> There have been several people in here lately with multiple drive issues, wondering if anyone has issued a bug report to ubuntu for 6.04
[04:11] <chuckyp> FunnyLookinHat: what do you mean multiple drive issues?
[04:12] <RabidSnail> Goldfisch: all I get is "gedit /etc/mysql/debian.cnf" and "grep mysql"
[04:12] <FunnyLookinHat> chuckyp, peo[ple having issues trying to get RAID drive setups or a SATA + IDE drive setup to work with ubuntu
[04:12] <carlk> I have been having good luck with setting up dapper on various software raids
[04:12] <FunnyLookinHat> All the issues turned out to be GRUB related, strangely
[04:13] <carlk> ah - hardware raid
[04:13] <FunnyLookinHat> carlk, that's good to know,  Hopefully it'll fix the problems...
[04:13] <FunnyLookinHat> yea, hardware = a bit more...  interesting.
[04:13] <chuckyp> You guys talking about the initrd-tools blowing up etc...?
[04:14] <chuckyp> I would just start directing them to file bug reports.
[04:14] <FunnyLookinHat> I'm talking about GRUB spitting out errors.
[04:14] <Goldfisch> I had heard that in order to get ubuntu's root+boot+LVM on RAID, you had to use LILO. GRUB must be missing some parts to make things tick.
[04:14] <FunnyLookinHat> or GRUB not loading at all
[04:14] <Goldfisch> RabidSnail: Well...I'm not sure what else to try.
[04:14] <FunnyLookinHat> I've never used LILO w/ ubuntu ...  guess i never looked for the option
[04:14] <carlk> grub dosnt suport software riad, unless you trick it, but that isn;t supported
[04:14] <RabidSnail> thanks anyway
[04:16] <FunnyLookinHat> that would have been good to know when I was trying to help this fellow earlier... i think his name was odat
[04:16] <FunnyLookinHat> if you see him let him know that
[04:16] <Goldfisch> I haven't used LILO in a while. I like GRUB because they had the hooks to autoload new kernels when you did make-kpkg kernel-building jobs. Have they added similar hooks to LILO?
[04:17] <vanstee> so i just installed ubuntu
[04:17] <vanstee> i like it
[04:17] <vanstee> so far
[04:17] <s|k> is there such a thing as a console based browser?
[04:17] <DoTheRodeo> lynx?
[04:17] <FunnyLookinHat> s|k, lynx
[04:17] <chuckyp> s|k: if by console you mean terminal?
[04:17] <s|k> :/
[04:17] <s|k> yes
[04:17] <Goldfisch> s|k: lynx or links
[04:17] <crimsun> sure, w3m, elinks, etc.
[04:17] <chuckyp> s|k: theres lynx elinks and a whole bunch I recommend elinks
[04:18] <s|k> cool :)
[04:18] <FunnyLookinHat> vanstee, it's good, yea?
[04:18] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vanstee: cool :)
[04:18] <vanstee> ya
[04:18] <vanstee> could someone help me install tightvnc
[04:18] <FunnyLookinHat> vanstee, I haven't found anything with as much hardware support as this, so I chose it.  : )
[04:18] <Goldfisch> I hadn't looked at lynx in a long time. I was playing with gentoo the other day, and while I didn't have X-windows built yet I used it. I was amazed at how far I got on a mediawiki website with it.
[04:19] <Goldfisch> vanstee: I only have one question, is this an AMD64 setup?
[04:19] <chuckyp> FunnyLookinHat: debian etch does a good job.
[04:19] <FunnyLookinHat> vanstee, use synaptic.   System - Administration - Synaptic
[04:19] <Sowelu> I'm trying to set up a cablemodem on a Ubuntu box, after the initial OS install...  is pppoeconf the right tool to use?  Because it's not finding anything if so
[04:19] <V4Vendetta> Sowelu~ i dont' think cable uses PPPO
[04:19] <V4Vendetta> e
[04:19] <instabin> how do i install a deb package i have downloaded
[04:19] <vanstee> no no amd64
[04:19] <chuckyp> Sowelu: no pppoe is mostly used for dsl I hvae yet to see a cable modem using it.
[04:19] <vanstee> synaptic?
[04:19] <V4Vendetta> Sowelu~ if the modem is plugged in right and your connection is working, ubuntu should auto-find a network connection.
[04:19] <Goldfisch> vanstee: It should work. Are you talking about the server? You should have vino installed.
[04:20] <vanstee> is it an installer or alternative
[04:20] <vanstee> vino?
[04:20] <chuckyp> vanstee: yeah you can use synaptic to install packages or apt-get install tightvnc
[04:20] <instabin> !deb
[04:20] <vanstee> sorry im very new to linux in general
[04:20] <ubotu> To install a .deb file: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb  (but note that the program you want might be installable using !apt from the !repos)
[04:20] <vanstee> alright i can do apt-get
[04:20] <Sowelu> Ahh... auto-find?  Well, it's plugged into the same box that this (windows) machine is online from at the moment.  How would it auto-find?  during bootup, in network settings, etc?  I can enable eth0 but it doesn't seem to -do- anything
[04:20] <Bung> !repos
[04:20] <chuckyp> !tell vanstee about synaptic
[04:20] <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
[04:20] <Sowelu> (and it fails to set up the network during startup)
[04:20] <Goldfisch> vino is GNOME's vnc server. Go to SYstem -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop and that is the configuration window. It is a GUI to configuration vino.
[04:21] <vanstee> oh alright
[04:21] <vanstee> but just food for thought
[04:21] <vanstee> how would i use symantic
[04:21] <vanstee> or whatever that was
[04:21] <vanstee> synaptic
[04:21] <FunnyLookinHat> vanstee, System - Administration - Synaptic
[04:21] <FunnyLookinHat> on your top menu bar
[04:21] <vanstee> alright
[04:21] <FunnyLookinHat> it's your #1 tool for installing new software
[04:22] <vanstee> ok fool
[04:22] <Goldfisch> I would slip in close 2nd behind Applications -> Add Applications.
[04:22] <vanstee> *cool
[04:22] <moonman> what is the bash command for me to kill gnome?
[04:22] <Goldfisch> moonman: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[04:22] <vanstee> would anyone recomend the kubuntu?
[04:23] <moonman> Goldfisch, do you have a killall?
[04:23] <Goldfisch> I bet Linux Torvalds would!
[04:23] <vanstee> heh
[04:23] <Goldfisch> moonman: Kill all what?
[04:23] <Kyral> vanstee: *sshrug* I just tried it (running it right now)
[04:23] <FunnyLookinHat> vanstee, I've found that kubuntu doesn't support certain packages as well, such as banshee
[04:23] <moonman> vanstee, im trying to go to my kde desktop
[04:23] <Kyral> KDE got better recently
[04:23] <moonman> Goldfisch, Killall gnome
[04:23] <moonman> or something
[04:23] <vanstee> alright
[04:23] <songo> howto set dhclient automaticaly on startup
[04:23] <vanstee> so as a beginer i shouldnt try it?
[04:24] <Squee-D> killall -TERM <thread_executable_name>
[04:24] <HI> DCC SEND 7674789489697846998798899889498984
[04:24] <FunnyLookinHat> vanstee, it's just whatever interface you prefer more, honestly.  I tend to suggest regular ubuntu, but it's more of my own preference.
[04:24] <Morfosomo> does vlc play .mov out of the box?
[04:24] <Goldfisch> moonman: If you kill gdm, I guarantee you will be knocked back into console mode, considering your Xserver is a child process of gdm.
[04:25] <vanstee> ohhh i like this synaptic
[04:25] <vanstee> very easy
[04:25] <FunnyLookinHat> vanstee, isn't it grea?T?
[04:25] <vanstee> ya
[04:25] <moonman> Goldfisch, from console, ill start kde
[04:25] <vanstee> i thought yum in fc4 was good
[04:25] <vanstee> but i really like this
[04:25] <Goldfisch> moonman: Whatever you want.
[04:26] <FunnyLookinHat> vanstee, make sure you enable universe and multiverse repositories...
[04:26] <FunnyLookinHat> ubotu tell vanstee about repos
[04:26] <FunnyLookinHat> that hsould help u
[04:26] <vanstee> i kinda have the general idea
[04:26] <vanstee> but ill check that out
[04:26] <FunnyLookinHat> kk. sweetn
[04:26] <vanstee> man i like the ubuntu community
[04:27] <vanstee> youve been the most helpful out of anyone so far
[04:27] <songo> how to set automaticaly dhclient on startup
[04:27] <FunnyLookinHat> songo, should automatically with ubuntu default install.
[04:27] <vanstee> alright well ive got to go
[04:27] <vanstee> but ill be back
[04:27] <vanstee> good day
[04:27] <Goldfisch> Now that was a good, happy story right there!
[04:28] <songo> at the installation time i didnt had internet
[04:28] <Bung> IdleOne: omg there is an xubuntu?
[04:28] <FunnyLookinHat> songo, does your router or ISP have DHCP??
[04:29] <Bung> i -will- have to try that1
[04:29] <songo> yes, everyday i have to do dhclient manualy
[04:29] <FunnyLookinHat> that's very strange.
[04:29] <DJ_tobias> anybody know anything about the pci.ids file and could help me? Im trying to add my video card to the list
[04:30] <XiCillin> is there such a thing as a k7 smp kernel?
[04:30] <XiCillin> i have a 64-bit dual core but i just want a dual core 32-bit kernel
[04:30] <FunnyLookinHat> XiCillin, yea,i just saw someone post about that in #cedega

[04:35] <XiCillin> once dapper drake comes out on the 20th it'll be safe to upgrade with apt-get wont it?
[04:35] <XiCillin> i know now if you want to do it that way you get a lot of warnings that it could brake yoru system
[04:36] <XiCillin> i'm hoping these risks wont be there when it comes out officially
[04:36] <FunnyLookinHat> XiCillin, It should be.  But I usually just backup my /home and reinstall anyways.
[04:36] <bimberi> XiCillin: an upgrade tool is being worked on - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-January/014700.html
[04:36] <FunnyLookinHat> guess it's a habit from my windows days to reinstall
[04:37] <XiCillin> thanks bimberi, i'll check that link now
[04:37] <bimberi> XiCillin: yw :)
[04:37] <mothermayi> can anyone help me with a memory lapse, what is that GUI front end program to apt-get called?

[04:39] <mothermayi> thanks
[04:39] <XiCillin> is this program going to become officiall anytime soon?
[04:40] <bimberi> XiCillin: good to hear, i haven't actually looked at it, just knew of it's existence :)
[04:40] <XiCillin> the screenshots make it look official like it will be added to dapper or somethign
[04:41] <bimberi> XiCillin: intended to be ready for dapper release (as i understand it)
[04:42] <edward0> hi
[04:42] <edward0> are there any e17 packages for Ubuntu dapper?
[04:42] <Installer36> am i here
[04:42] <gabriel> is it typical for the installation to stall at "starting the partitioner"?
[04:42] <Installer36> Yes
[04:43] <bimberi> jiangguowei: 'PatrickDavies(7/2)' means he was approved as a member on the 7th of February.
[04:43] <Installer36> Played hell getting in
[04:43] <Installer36> freenode wouldnt let me in
[04:43] <edward0> e17 [04:43] <edward0> woops sorry
[04:44] <edward0> paused the term and was trying to figure out which key unpauses it :D
[04:44] <jiangguowei> bimberi:thanks. Then what does AnandaPutra(24/01) mean?
[04:44] <liquidboy> wha'ts the app that i have to install to be able to compile things from source?
[04:44] <edward0> e17 == enlightenment 0.17 dev?
[04:44] <edward0> liquidboy: gcc
[04:45] <bimberi> jiangguowei: read the sentence above
[04:45] <jiangguowei> bimberi:24th January?
[04:45] <edward0> liquidboy: you will probably need other packages as well gcc, autoconf, automake, make etc...
[04:46] <bimberi> jiangguowei: yes, but was 'given more time to make their contributions sustained and significant'
[04:46] <jiangguowei> bimberi: If one wants to be approved as members in community council meeting,How many  agree tickit should he win?
[04:46] <bimberi> jiangguowei: no idea, ask a member :)
[04:47] <jiangguowei> bimberi: Many thanks!

[04:48] <glick> any by expert i mean someone who knows the source code
[04:48] <edward0> crimsun: unofficial is fine too :)
[04:48] <glick> and the principals behind the ciphers
[04:48] <liquidboy> edward0, i looked for 'make' and didnt find anything
[04:48] <edward0> crimsun: just don't feel like building from cvs :(
[04:48] <skreel> theskunk i install warcraft 3 but i'ts run to slow
[04:49] <edward0> liquidboy: apt-cache search make
[04:49] <crimsun> liquidboy: did you install build-essential?
[04:49] <edward0> liquidboy: or even apt-cache search make | grep ^make
[04:50] <liquidboy> edward0, i have gcc 2.95, 3.3, 3.4, 4.0 .... do i just need the latest? i dont know why ive got all of them installed...
[04:50] <edward0> liquidboy: welcome to GNU/Linux :D
[04:50] <edward0> lol
[04:50] <edward0> crimsun: so you don't know of any unofficial either?
[04:50] <theskunk> edward0, lol
[04:51] <crimsun> edward0: there are, but I'm not going to recommend them as they were created using checkinstall.
[04:51] <Bung> so ive installed ubuntu a while back, if i install xubuntu, do i have to backup my home directory, like does it overwrite everything?
[04:51] <liquidboy> edward0 what does "grep" do?
[04:52] <Bung> presuming i -dont- format the partitions
[04:52] <yuri_> hey, can someone tell me how to speed up my dvd drive? I don't think dma is on
[04:52] <edward0> liquidboy: man -f grep
[04:52] <crimsun> Bung: you can use synaptic/aptitude/apt-get to drop the Xfce packages into your Ubuntu installation
[04:52] <Bung> crimsun: yes ive done that, but im having problems getting the goodies to isntall
[04:52] <edward0> crimsun: what's wrong with checkinstall?
[04:53] <crimsun> edward0: it doesn't generate correct packages.
[04:53] <edward0> oook
[04:54] <edward0> back to google I go :\
[04:54] <foo-bar-> Does anyone know if there is an ati driver (either open source, or from ati) that supports the X1600 card?
[04:55] <edward0> foo-bar-: check ati's website? they have binary drivers I do believe
[04:55] <crimsun> edward0: look for something called 'ebuntu'
[04:56] <hondadarrell> anyone tried installing UT2004 on ubuntu?
[04:56] <foo-bar-> I've looked around, but I didnt see anything specifically about the X1600 card on their linux driver page
[04:56] <frank23> !ati

[04:57] <emanuelez> hello
[04:57] <emanuelez> i'm trying to launch xine as an alarm with the at command but it does not work. is it because it is a gui program?
[04:57] <edward0> crimsun: ah I saw that before tried them they did not work properly :\
[04:57] <crimsun> heh
[04:57] <foo-bar-> I had to configure X to use vesa in order to get into gnome

[04:58] <edward0> :D
[04:58] <foo-bar-> and I went through that second link earlier today with no luck
[04:59] <frank23> hondadarrell: I installed UT2004. I didn't have any problems that I remember
[04:59] <edward0> foo-bar-: maybe google your vid card X1600 and xorg.conf :D
[04:59] <edward0> hondadarrell: installed the demo works just fine
[05:00] <edward0> too bad epic ruined ut :D
[05:02] <hondadarrell> i got the dvd but the linux install icon does'nt do anything
[05:03] <emanuelez> i'm trying to launch xine as an alarm with the at command but it does not work. is it because it is a gui program?

[05:05] <gabriel> I've tried to install ubuntu a couple of times on a powerbook and the installation keeps stalling at "Starting up the Partitioner" - can anybody help?
[05:07] <qpalzm> does anyone know how to get totem to play avi's, everytime i try it just crashes
[05:08] <edward0> qpalzm: try running totem from a shell and playing the avi, it might give you some output that may help :)
[05:09] <edward0> qpalzm: besides that you could try another audio/video playing like vlc
[05:09] <qpalzm> im new to linux, so i probably wouldnt understand the info it gives
[05:09] <qpalzm> i tried with vlc too
[05:09] <edward0> qpalzm: what happened with vlc?
[05:09] <farous> qpalzm: did you install the restricted codecs
[05:09] <V4Vendetta> how do i get into the HP linux print-manager, where it shows my ink level's and stuff.
[05:09] <qpalzm> farous, i dont think so
[05:10] <farous> !tell qpalzm about restricted
[05:10] <farous> qpalzm: follow ubotu link it will give you an idea on how codecs work
[05:12] <qpalzm> it says that i need to have certain repositories enabled, when i tried to enable other ones, i keep getting errors
[05:12] <mordof> question: mplayer erro.. wrong font: ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf, how do i fix it
[05:12] <qpalzm> i changed my sources.list could this have caused any of the problems?
[05:12] <mordof> i know i need to copy any font to that and name it the same, but where are the fonts
[05:14] <yuri_> can someone please advise on how to make vlc the default plugin for firefox?

[05:38] <edward0> hi :)
[05:39] <zF> what's the default image viewer for Ubuntu?
[05:39] <luisito> When I put @freq beside the resolution that resolution doesn't start.It is into the quotes or at the end of the line?
[05:40] <rbanffy> Goldfisch: I dug deeper ans I suspect the problem lies in an IRQ conflict between the second 8139 and the USB controller
[05:40] <vincent_> ok... so if I wanted to switch to Kubuntu.. can I still use the Ubuntu wiki? cuz the Kubuntu wiki is nowhere near as comprehensive.
[05:41] <zF> Vincent: the regular Ubuntu wiki should work for the majority of things - there's very few things that only work for gnome or only work for KDE.
[05:41] <dargeer> hi - is anyone using the asus a8n-vm csm  motherboard?
[05:41] <vincent_> why is Ubuntu so much more popular than Kubuntu?
[05:42] <vincent_> the difference is Gnome and KDE... and KDE is better IMHO
[05:42] <_michael> I think ubuntu is more popular because it was released first
[05:42] <juanzhewudi> we can get ubuntu cds free
[05:42] <edward0> vincent_: Ubuntu and Kubuntu are same thing just different default desktop environments but you can install any on either u or k ubuntu :D
[05:42] <bimberi> vincent_: maybe more people think the opposite :)
[05:43] <_michael> or install both and boot to whichever you like
[05:43] <vincent_> oh ic... the free CDs would defenatly make a difference :P
[05:43] <vincent_> maybe there will be free Kubuntu CDs someday ?
[05:44] <vincent_> its a small download... only 600+ MB
[05:44] <bimberi> vincent_: you're obviously not on dialup :)
[05:44] <juanzhewudi> not every body have a cd burner
[05:44] <_michael> I downloaded Ubuntu via bittorrent on dialup... only took me 4 days!
[05:45] <vincent_> *,*
[05:45] <edward0> lol
[05:45] <tolkan> Can anyone help me with ieee80211 module for kernel?
[05:45] <_michael> what that's quite reasonable
[05:45] <vincent_> imagine if u had only one phone line...
[05:45] <vincent_> you'd have to pick up the phone... that would disconnect you :P
[05:45] <_michael> I don't really like talking on the phone anyway... ubuntu is more important
[05:45] <bimberi> _michael: and you appreciate it so much more, right? :)
[05:46] <vincent_> I wonder if I could put Xubuntu on my 486?
[05:46] <_michael> absolutely... that was actually my first Warty LiveCD on 12/04... i've been in love ever since :-P
[05:46] <juanzhewudi> what a pity, i can not start x in my machion by ubuntu
[05:46] <vincent_> it has Windows 98 SE... but there is no reason to have it on
[05:46] <juanzhewudi> so i use fedora now
[05:48] <vincent_> fedora is good... but it has limited product support
[05:48] <vincent_> oh and a huge download
[05:48] <vincent_> I guess buying CDs is ok tho
[05:48] <vincent_> but still
[05:48] <juanzhewudi> i c, but i won't like to take so much time building x myself
[05:49] <mrkris-> hiya, kinda strugglin to get java + firefox working
[05:49] <mrkris-> i keep finding many different articles, including some that talk about a j2re1.5 package, which doesn't exist
[05:49] <juanzhewudi> any way, ubuntu have some problem of hardware now,
[05:51] <vincent_> How well does Kubuntu compare to SUSE?
[05:51] <Davey> uhm, well, it doesn't use RPMs, which blow :)
[05:52] <shukhrat> Hello
[05:53] <kameron> does anyone use lilo? can they give me a sample lilo.conf?
[05:53] <juanzhewudi> boot(hdx ,y)
[05:53] <DJ_tobias> ummm i am having troubles with my new video card and the internet..
[05:54] <vincent_> Is there a way I can handle RPMs with Ubuntu?
[05:54] <vincent_> Whats this "Alien" software ?
[05:54] <edward0> vincent_: why?
[05:54] <juanzhewudi> it must be a ati x1x00
[05:54] <shukhrat> who khows how install ISO file Vector Linux my supervisor want try it
[05:54] <DJ_tobias> when i add this to the end of /etc/hotplug/blacklist my internet wont connect
[05:55] <DJ_tobias> agpgart and intel_agp
[05:55] <vincent_> cuz I want to be able to handle multiple package types if possible... that would give alot of flexability
[05:55] <jumpkick> I'm curious to know if anyone else running the ubuntu Zope 2.8.1 experinces deadlocks...
[05:55] <bimberi> vincent_: there is 'alien', but please be certain there is no ubuntu package available (you can search on http://packages.ubuntu.com )
[05:55] <edward0> vincent_: doing that will help break your system
[05:55] <shukhrat> the ISO file haven't boot sector's
[05:57] <vincent_> Alien allows you to convert LSB, Red Hat, Stampede and Slackware Packages
[05:57] <vincent_> into Debian packages, which can be installed with dpkg.
[05:57] <bimberi> jumpkick: no, but my installation isn't under any load (yet)
[05:58] <V4Vendetta> how do you remove .tar.gz again from terminal ?
[05:58] <carlk> V4Vendetta: ReMove?
[05:58] <V4Vendetta> yea
[05:58] <carlk> (that was a hint)
[05:58] <V4Vendetta> make it a regular folder..
[05:58] <V4Vendetta> i don't want to play games.
[05:58] <V4Vendetta> just tell me please.
[05:59] <DJ_tobias> anybody? I really cant figure this out
[05:59] <carlk> um... then you don't want to remove it
[05:59] <bimberi> V4Vendetta: remove? as in delete? - rm
[05:59] <V4Vendetta> okay i want to unzip it
[05:59] <engla> V4Vendetta: tar xfvz file.tgz
[05:59] <vincent_> ok so I got alien... how do I use it? :P
[06:00] <engla> vincent_: get hold of fakeroot too :) It should be just "fakeroot alien package.rpm"
[06:00] <jumpkick> bimberi: I have been having a real bitch of a time even with like no load...  my problem looks like this (from someone else's ML post): http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2005-November/162801.html
[06:00] <bimberi> vincent_: i'd only be guessing, does it have a manual page ( 'man alien' )
[06:00] <yuri_> i installed the mplayer plugin for mozilla but it only works in root, how do I make it default for subusers?
[06:00] <engla> vincent_: or just do plain root with suod if you are lazy/sloppy
[06:00] <vincent_> yep
[06:00] <vincent_> its a console thing... :P
[06:01] <vincent_> just typing in "alien" in the console will display it's parameter options
[06:01] <engla> see, it's a nice tool
[06:02] <vincent_> btw.. how do I change my console background and text color?
[06:02] <DJ_tobias> anybody?
[06:04] <engla> DJ_tobias: I have absolutely no clue.. agp should not be related to your net connection, right? But are you sure you are not breaking some syntax in that file or so?
[06:04] <yuri_> i installed the mplayer plugin for mozilla but it only works in root, how do I make it default for subusers?
[06:05] <DJ_tobias> engla, from what i can see, nothing i do should have anything to do with making my new connection go down
[06:06] <bimberi> jumpkick: eww, i'm sorry i don't know a lot that could help.  I believe you can use mod_rewrite or mod_proxy in apache so switching to the other method might be a workaround
[06:06] <DJ_tobias> PuMpErNiCkLe, you still there, maybe you could help?
[06:09] <vincent_> o.O
[06:09] <vincent_> I never thought 435 people can all be quiet at the same time
[06:10] <pepsi> how can i install less than the base install installs?
[06:10] <pepsi> :/
[06:10] <Dr_Willis> moo
[06:10] <pepsi> i did server-expert but it still installs too much
[06:11] <pepsi> and i chroot to the target system and apt-get?
[06:11] <pepsi> er
[06:11] <pepsi> can i
[06:11] <engla> hehe if server is too much then perhaps ubuntu can't help you there
[06:12] <pepsi> not that its too much but i dont want stuff like LVM
[06:12] <Davey> How do I get talk and its daemon running?
[06:12] <edward0> pepsi: look into lfs :D
[06:12] <pepsi> hrm
[06:12] <pepsi> but i still want to be able to use packages from ubuntu
[06:13] <pepsi> i mean once i get the base install, i want to be able to just install stuff easy-like
[06:13] <engla> sorry. You sure debian would not be just as good?
[06:13] <engla> debian/testing or unstable
[06:13] <pepsi> no im not
[06:13] <pepsi> :)
[06:13] <pepsi> ubuntu is the first distro i had success with
[06:13] <edward0> :)
[06:14] <pepsi> but ive grown quite a bit
[06:14] <qpalzm> does anyone know how to get avi files working?
[06:15] <sbalneav> pepsi: Best to just stick to the defaults.  You can't have it both ways.
[06:16] <bimberi> ubotu tell qpalzm about avi
[06:16] <pepsi> sbalneav, why not? using LVM as an example, a firefox package would care less
[06:17] <sbalneav> pepsi: Because the package maintainers have made decisions about what packages depend on another.  Read about dpkg and apt.  Breaking dependencies = bad.
[06:17] <Tom_Kidd> Does anyone know how to get Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory to properly emit sound?
[06:17] <Tom_Kidd> I tried AOSS but the quality on AOSS is usually too low to even tell if it's good or not :\
[06:17] <sbalneav> pepsi: If you want total control, then Linux From Scratch is the way to go.
[06:18] <pepsi> ok
[06:18] <pepsi> i will look into it
[06:18] <pepsi> perhaps i should see if i have luck with debian, and also play with LFS
[06:19] <edward0> pepsi: you know what lfs is?
[06:19] <edward0> pepsi: doubt you will want to use it :D
[06:19] <tolkan> Can anyone help me with ieee80211 module for kernel?
[06:19] <edward0> unless you really want to learn GNU/Linux
[06:20] <sbalneav> pepsi: You'll have much the same dependancies on debian.  I run both sarge, sid, and ubuntu, as well as fedora.  What's a few extra packages hurting you anyway?  Just accept that there's a few things installed that you may not use, and move on.
[06:20] <pepsi> i understand the problem with dependencies, and i can see how it could be a problem to use packages meant for a certain configuration on a custom base install.. because eventually i will find a package that will really need what i didnt install, and i wont really know
[06:20] <pepsi> im looking at LFS now
[06:20] <pepsi> and yes i do want to learn the intricacies of linux
[06:20] <Tom_Kidd> Does anyone know how to get Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory working with sound properly? I get no sound.. AOSS gives me crap.
[06:20] <pepsi> sbalneav, it bothers me :)
[06:21] <sbalneav> pepsi: Good luck with LFS then!
[06:21] <pepsi> sbalneav, what bothers me most of all is not knowing what everything on my system is
[06:21] <edward0> Tom_Kidd: yes, modprobe snd_pcm_oss, snd_mixer_oss
[06:22] <sbalneav> pepsi: Good luck with the complete source code audit as well. :)
[06:22] <pepsi> i wouldnt mind extra stuff if i really knew what that package is meant to provide, and what files goes with it
[06:22] <Tom_Kidd> Sigh
[06:22] <edward0> pepsi: you should have sound then :)
[06:22] <edward0> Tom_Kidd: ?
[06:22] <DJ_tobias> im having nvidia help, anybody have prior experiance ?
[06:23] <Tom_Kidd> How can I make sure it's OSS?
[06:23] <sbalneav> pepsi: apt makes that easy.  man dpkg, and look for -L and -S
[06:24] <pepsi> sbalneav, my sarcasm detector went off with your comment about the source code audit... i appreciate your advice, as well as your concerns, but i truly want to know whats all getting installed and why, and i am prepared to spend months on this
[06:24] <edward0> Tom_Kidd: just modprobe those 2 modules and see if you have sound in enemy-territory
[06:24] <Pheffer1> How do I change the driver that Ubuntu uses for my Monitor and Graphics Card?
[06:24] <Tom_Kidd> edward0 I found a way but I have a question
[06:25] <edward0> Tom_Kidd: ?
[06:25] <Tom_Kidd> echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
[06:25] <Tom_Kidd>   This makes the sound work, I found it.. but why?..
[06:25] <pepsi> sbalneav, more than just being able to see what files the package installs.. i want to _know_ what files correspond with what "package".. package in the sense of some program or library
[06:25] <Tom_Kidd> They didn't explain
[06:25] <nailbiter> pepsi: Well, you can use 'dpkg --search <path>' to see which package a particular file belongs to
[06:26] <edward0> Tom_Kidd: probably tells alsa to use oss emulation for process et.x86
[06:26] <nailbiter> pepsi: That, in effect, just greps through /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list
[06:26] <edward0> Tom_Kidd: that's just a guess though not 100% sure but probably correct :D
[06:26] <Tom_Kidd> Hmmmmm
[06:26] <pschulz01_> Is there anywhere (in the wiki for instance) where issues can be logged and the page tracked for changes? I'm still having problesm installing on a HP xw4300 Workstation.. (although it is supported by Redhat).
[06:26] <Tom_Kidd> It makes me be root, which is weird
[06:26] <Tom_Kidd> No sudoing
[06:26] <Tom_Kidd> plain ol' root
[06:27] <Pheffer1> 'allo?
[06:27] <slew> hi, did they take mplayer out of the repositories? the wiki said to apt-get install mplayer-386 but its not getting and installing it. yes, i followed the directions and enabled the multiverse and universe repositories.
[06:27] <Tom_Kidd> kyle@nixbox:~$ sudo  "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
[06:27] <Tom_Kidd> bash: /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss: Permission denied
[06:27] <Tom_Kidd> Heh
[06:27] <Tom_Kidd> sudo apt-get update
[06:27] <nailbiter> Pheffer1: Normally, your X11 driver is autodetected by the 'discover' package; you can pick one manually, though, with 'dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg'
[06:27] <edward0> Tom_Kidd: sudo echo "et...." > .....
[06:28] <Tom_Kidd> I did
[06:28] <Pheffer1> nailbiter: Thank you
[06:28] <slew> E: Package mplayer-386 has no installation candidate
[06:28] <Davey> !tell me about dapper
[06:28] <edward0> Tom_Kidd: you missing echo after sudo command :D
[06:28] <Tom_Kidd> ohh
[06:28] <Tom_Kidd> same thing happens
[06:28] <edward0> heh
[06:28] <nailbiter> Tom_Kidd: That's expected. You probably want -- sudo sh -c 'echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" >/proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss'
[06:29] <nailbiter> Tom_Kidd: That's because the '>' redirection happens _outside_ the sudo, and therefore as a regular user. Which is why you were denied permission'
[06:29] <nailbiter> Tom_Kidd: If you want to avoid the hassle of quoting, just do a 'sudo -s' to get a root shell, then do things as normal
[06:30] <nailbiter> slew: Use 'mplayer' instead.
[06:30] <Deramin> "gnome-cups-add" crashes every time I try to add a new printer.
[06:30] <nailbiter> slew: Also, it's in the "multiverse" repository, so double-check your apt source list. ;-)
[06:30] <slew> E: Package mplayer has no installation candidate
[06:30] <Tom_Kidd> nailbiter: This is a generalization, but I'm trying to get all things OSS to be ran as ALSA, is there anyway I can do this?
[06:30] <Tom_Kidd> slew: Did you sudo apt-get update after you uncommented the repositories?
[06:30] <sean> for some reason when I hooked up usb card reader for my camera via usb I used to get a auto mounted drive that apeared on my desktop and now when i hook it up i dont get nothing. is there a service I could have disabled or something for autodetecting usb drives?
[06:30] <slew> Tom_Kidd, yes like three times
[06:31] <nailbiter> Tom_Kidd: There's the 'alsa-oss' package, which will make all the necessary arrangements at boot time
[06:31] <Tom_Kidd> AOSS?
[06:31] <nailbiter> slew: Which release of Ubuntu are you on?
[06:31] <slew> wheres the pastebin so i can show you my sources.list
[06:31] <slew> breezy
[06:32] <jbroome> !paste
[06:32] <Tom_Kidd> I have AOSS, but ET (WolfenStein Enemy Territory) sound doesn't work with it, and for sound on Chromium I have to do aoss chromium
[06:32] <ubotu> Don't flood the channel! Please use the pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ or the channel #flood to paste large amount of text.
[06:32] <Tom_Kidd> So nailbiter, I would like to think aoss doesn't :\
[06:32] <nailbiter> Tom_Kidd: Well, 'aoss' is a second way to get what you want. It's a wrapper that redirects audio I/O to ALSA. It doesn't always work, though
[06:33] <Tom_Kidd> alsa-oss = aoss?
[06:33] <Tom_Kidd> I have the alsa-oss package installed
[06:33] <Tom_Kidd> Though.. isn't that just what the aoss command is?
[06:33] <purplefeltangel> ..... ubugtu?
[06:34] <slew> take a gander at this smoken hot sources.list: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9778
[06:35] <j1p> Im trying to configure adesklets, configure si giving me an error about "cannot find Python include path" any idea what package fixes that, or what I have to do to fix it?
[06:35] <Nils_> Noob here. I installed Ubuntu on a laptop which subsequently failed. The HD was fine. I got another laptop and switched the HDs. Among other problems, x doesn't recognise the new screen. Is there a way to "rescan" ('scuse the terminology) all the hardware? Thanks.
[06:35] <allanh128> Hello everyone.  I read in a forum that Ubuntu Breezy Badger does not have floppy support.  Is this tru?  If so how can I add it?
[06:35] <Tom_Kidd> Not true..?
[06:36] <Tom_Kidd> I just stuck one in and it was fine?
[06:36] <Tom_Kidd> It does
[06:36] <dagbrown> So, uh, my Ubuntu box doesn't start up GNOME any more
[06:36] <brian_> i installed ubuntu, i added a user, but apparently i didnt see a screen to  give 'root' a password, how do i fix this?
[06:36] <Tom_Kidd> brian_ You should just use your user password it works for most things
[06:36] <Tom_Kidd> but
[06:37] <slew> so, nailbiter, what do you suggest for getting and installing mplayer? i need it for tovid to work
[06:37] <iceman> Any one know a application to record shoutcast ... ?
[06:37] <Tom_Kidd> The default installation DIDN'T, to set up a root password do
[06:37] <Tom_Kidd> sudo passwd
[06:37] <jbroome> !tell brian_ about root
[06:37] <dagbrown> So anyway
[06:37] <pepsi> ubuntu encourages the use of sudo
[06:37] <brian_> thank you.
[06:37] <dagbrown> I log in via gdm, get the login sound, and then nothing.
[06:37] <pepsi> therefore they dont let you login as root by default
[06:37] <dagbrown> What might have gone wrong?
[06:37] <Tom_Kidd> dagbrown: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common
[06:37] <Tom_Kidd>  what you looking for?
[06:38] <iceman> I need a application to record shoutcast broadcast
[06:38] <nik> I need help with SDL
[06:38] <nailbiter> Tom_Kidd: Err, sorry--I think I confuse myself. 'alsa-oss' is just the wrapper, which you can use if you for some reason don't have a OSS-compatible /dev/dsp
[06:38] <dagbrown> Tom_Kidd: Not even close.
[06:38] <nik> when I install an application I keep getting this error: checking for sdl-config... no
[06:38] <nik> configure: error: can't find sdl-config on your system
[06:38] <nailbiter> Tom_Kidd: 'alsa-base' arranges to load the *-oss* modules, which provide you a /dev/dsp that OSS legacy apps can use. Is it the case that your /dev/dsp device doesn't work at all?
[06:38] <nailbiter> iceman: 'beep-media-player' and 'xmms' can stream their output to a shoutcast server
[06:39] <Tom_Kidd> nailbiter: My ALSA works fine, my OSS doesn't give me any sound at all
[06:39] <nik> anyone?
[06:39] <nailbiter> brian_: The 'root' account is locked by default on Ubuntu and OS X. You're encouraged to use 'sudo' instead to gain root privileges for individual commands as needed
[06:39] <slew> so did they take mplayer out of the repositories? dosent seem like theyd do something like that
[06:40] <Madpilot> slew, there is no package called "mplayer" but it's there - mplayer-386 & such
[06:40] <engla> nik: It says that you don't have sdl-config, right? Well, do you have it?
[06:40] <slew> Madpilot, this i know, and these dont install.
[06:40] <slew> E: Package mplayer has no installation candidate
[06:40] <nik> I think so... how do I tell?
[06:40] <slew> E: Package mplayer-386 has no installation candidate
[06:41] <Madpilot> slew, you probably don't have Multiverse repo enabled
[06:41] <iceman> nailbiter no i want to capture and record shoutcast broadcast ... ?
[06:41] <slew> take a gander at this smoken hot sources.list: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9778
[06:41] <Deramin> Running gnome on Ubuntu. every time I try to add a printer I get an error message saying "gnome-cups-add" crashed. Bug buddie gave me the information here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9779, none of which I understand. can anyone help me figure out what the problem is?
[06:41] <Madpilot> !multiverse
[06:41] <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
[06:41] <Tom_Kidd> slew: http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/graphics/mplayer
[06:41] <Tom_Kidd> dpkg -i the .deb
[06:41] <nailbiter> Tom_Kidd: I don't know why that would be. Do you have a /etc/asound.conf or a ~/.asoundrc that's set up custom redirections?
[06:41] <engla> nik: you can use synaptic and search for it... remember as a general rule, that when a configure script wants 'package', it also wants  'package-dev' (another supplimentary package)
[06:41] <slew> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9778
[06:41] <nik> let me try that
[06:41] <Madpilot> slew, add 'multiverse' to the 'deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe' and the one below it
[06:42] <nailbiter> iceman: Ah, ok. You can use mplayer's -dumpstream and -dumpfile options to dump the stream to an MP3 file on disk.
[06:42] <Tom_Kidd> nailbiter: http://pastebin.com/586431
[06:42] <nailbiter> iceman: Ack, you're gone
[06:42] <Madpilot> slew, then run sudo apt-get update or Reload in Synaptic
[06:42] <echoz> anyone knows a thing or two bout restoring GRUB?
[06:42] <brian_> root@deface:~# id
[06:42] <brian_> uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root
[06:42] <dagbrown> Hmm, interesting, I run gnome-panel by hand and get a bunch of error messages
[06:42] <brian_> thanks people :)
[06:42] <j1p> I'm trying to install adesklets 0.5.1, It's giving me an error on configure, "configure:error: Cannot find imlib2: Is imlib2-config in the path?" I dont see imlib2 in the repos, is there anything i can do for this?
[06:42] <AngryElf> does S-ATA = SCSI?
[06:42] <Madpilot> brian_, why are you using root?
[06:43] <slew> Madpilot, so, after following the directions on the ubuntu wiki on setting up the repositories, it still is broken?
[06:43] <usr> How can I play .rm formats?
[06:43] <dagbrown> AngryElf: No
[06:43] <nailbiter> AngryElf: No. :) It's Serial ATA, a simplified, higher-speed version of ATA
[06:43] <nailbiter> AngryElf: wikipedia.org/wiki/SATA
[06:43] <Tom_Kidd> slew: packages.ubuntu.org ?
[06:43] <Pheffer1> nailbiter: I tried your suggestion, but I didn't get to change my monitor
[06:43] <Pheffer1> driver.
[06:43] <Madpilot> slew, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 use this sources.list
[06:43] <Nils_> "Simplified?"
[06:43] <AngryElf> dagbrown, nailbiter, so regular old IDE drivers built into my kernel should boot to SATA HDs?
[06:43] <Tom_Kidd> slew: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ *
[06:43] <echoz> anyone knows a thing about GRUB? i think i hosed mine and grub-install is telling me that the stage1 file is not read correctly...
[06:43] <Tom_Kidd> I see it @ http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[06:43] <usr> could someone help me out ?
[06:43] <usr> !tell usr about real
[06:43] <Tom_Kidd> sudo apt-get install grub|grub-install ?
[06:43] <mlalkaka> when i print a text file using lp (from the command-line), the first 1-2 columns of text get cut off (probably because my printer can't print that far to the edge). how can i change the margin values for lp?
[06:43] <Madpilot> AngryElf, SATA drives should work fine in Ubuntu - my only HD is SATA
[06:44] <usr> !tell usr about restricted
[06:44] <AngryElf> Madpilot, i'm rebuilding my kernel, i need to know what drivers to build into it
[06:44] <nailbiter> echoz: Copy /lib/grub/i386-pc/stage{1,2} into /boot/grub, then run 'grub-install' again
[06:44] <AngryElf> i've been having a hell of a time getting the kernel loaded
[06:44] <Madpilot> AngryElf, no idea, but the stock Ubuntu kernels all do SATA...
[06:44] <echoz> nailbiter: will do.. thanks.
[06:44] <AngryElf> Madpilot, i'm building a 2.6.15 kernel :(
[06:45] <_wd3_> i have a tough one for the experts tonight. i have usb hpna not connecting online. netwk shw ip, netmask, loopback but not allowing me online. why
[06:45] <dagbrown> SATA is for all intents and purposes completely different from IDE.
[06:45] <nailbiter> Tom_Kidd: I don't understand the asound.conf config file format, I'm afraid. :-/
[06:45] <echoz> nailbiter: its still saying that stage1 is not read correctly.... is it possible i hosed my drive or smth?
[06:45] <Pheffer1> usr: is .rm format for realplayer?
[06:46] <Tom_Kidd> Heh, I just put that down.. I saw it at the forums and after I did that programs that used ALSA could play sounds at the same time :\
[06:46] <nailbiter> _wd3_: What happens when you 'ping' external hosts? Do you get an 'operation not permitted'?
[06:46] <nailbiter> Pheffer1: Doesn't 'dpkg-reconfigure' bring up a menu asking you if you want to autoconfigure your video hardware?
[06:46] <nailbiter> Pheffer1: It should at least ask you for your video chipset and a list of monitor resolutions
[06:47] <_wd3_> nailbiter what's steps again to ping
[06:47] <Pheffer1> usr: Yes, you use Realplayer to play rm files
[06:47] <nailbiter> _wd3_: ping <ip address>
[06:47] <Nils_> BTW, it should be pointed out, re that SATA thing, that SAS supports SATA as a protocol.
[06:47] <nailbiter> _wd3_: It's a shell command
[06:47] <usr> Okay
[06:47] <Pheffer1> nailbiter: yes, but it doesn't let me change the *driver*
[06:47] <_wd3_> nailbiter thats in network  settings i'll do it again
[06:47] <nailbiter> Tom_Kidd: The thing is, a _software_ ALSA mixer like you've set up isn't necessary most of the time because most audio hardware can do multi-channel audio anyway
[06:48] <slew> Madpilot, nailbiter, Tom_Kidd thanks for your time and trouble. =] 
[06:48] <AngryElf> Nils_, what does that mean if i'm building a kernel to boot to a SATA drive?
[06:48] <Davey> what does this mean in "ps aux" output? root         1  0.0  0.0  1512  452 ?        S     2005   1:41 init [2]

[06:48] <Tom_Kidd> nailbiter: I'll just leave it alone for now.. I'm tired and have a temporarey solution to lie back on
[06:48] <Tom_Kidd> Later all, good night.
[06:48] <nailbiter> Pheffer1: What do you mean by driver? The list with 'trident', 'tga', 'tdfx', 's3', for example, is a list of drivers
[06:48] <Pheffer1> nailbiter: Linux usually does a bad job at detecting my monitor's driver, and I often have to chose other drivers, even if they are not the right ones, otherwise I get strange lines accross my screen.
[06:48] <nailbiter> Tom_Kidd: Good night
[06:48] <Pheffer1> euh
[06:49] <dagbrown> Hi, help, anyone know anything about GNOME and what might be wrong with my installation?
[06:49] <Pen|s> DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0
[06:49] <Pheffer1> Sorry, maybe I was using the wrong term
[06:49] <nailbiter> Davey: init is the topmost process on your system. Most of the time, it just sits there and does nothing
[06:49] <brian_> do i have to compile gcc?
[06:49] <Nils_> AngryElf: Nothing.
[06:50] <brian_> configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
[06:50] <brian_> See `config.log' for more details.
[06:50] <nailbiter> brian_: Use 'apt-get install build-essential' to download and install a reasonable set of build tools
[06:50] <Pheffer1> nailbiter: What I meant to say, is that I want to tell the computer what model the monitor is
[06:50] <nailbiter> brian_: And you can't compile gcc without a compiler. It's a chicken-and-egg problem
[06:50] <dagbrown> Okay, I can see that this channel isn't going to be any help to me
[06:50] <Davey> nailbiter: and if it's been sitting at the top of top for a while, what does that mean? :)
[06:50] <brian_> oh yeah lol
[06:50] <tulio2> !tell tulio2 about ntfs
[06:50] <nailbiter> Pheffer1: It's autodetected for you via DDC. Your video cable has an extra pin on it that sends monitor sense information to the video card
[06:51] <nik> THANK YOU engla! Everything works now :)
[06:51] <tulio2> hi guys
[06:51] <tulio2> i got steam installed in a NTFS partition
[06:51] <tulio2> i can acess this partition with winex
[06:51] <tulio2> and run these games ?
[06:51] <Madpilot> !enter
[06:51] <ubotu> please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying. Write in complete sentences and keep your replies and questions on one line if possible. Thanks!
[06:51] <Nils_> Aight. Let me simplify my question: can I "reset" x.org?
[06:52] <Pheffer1> nailbiter: Yes, but as I explained above, my monitor often works better when Linux is told that it is a different model than what it actually is.
[06:52] <nailbiter> Davey: If it's not consuming any CPU cycles, don't worry about it. ;-)
[06:52] <Davey> nailbiter: I have a 2.3 load and init is top of the list
[06:52] <Pheffer1> This has worked for me in Xandros and Fedora
[06:52] <carlk> tulio2: "no"
[06:52] <biloyp> how would I find out if I using ReiserFS for my / or /home
[06:52] <nailbiter> Pheffer1: The thing is, the X.org server doesn't actually have a built-in monitor database, so you can't exactly choose what monitor model you have. It just tries to autodetect what resolutions it supports via DDC (if possible)
[06:53] <carlk> tulio2: you can read NTFS from anyting in linux, including wine
[06:53] <biloyp> I did the default install
[06:53] <Madpilot> biloyp, Ubuntu uses ext3 by default
[06:53] <nailbiter> Davey: Ah, that's very strange
[06:53] <_wd3_> nailbiter i put in my friends ip and press ping in the "network tools" and nothing comes in the box below. odd though under devices it shws ip address, netmask, hardware loopback and the packets are counting
[06:53] <tulio2> carlk: uhn thanks
[06:53] <Pheffer1> hmm too bad. Oh well, back to Fedora.
[06:53] <biloyp> MadPilot..ok thx
[06:53] <Davey> nailbiter: tell me about it
[06:53] <Davey> nailbiter: I'm thinking to reboot
[06:53] <nailbiter> Davey: Do a 'telinit q' to force it to reload/re-exec itself?
[06:53] <biloyp> anyone using Beagle
[06:53] <Davey> nailbiter: what'll that do to the system?
[06:54] <nailbiter> _wd3_: Can you perform the ping from the command line?
[06:54] <Davey> nailbiter: this is a production server :/
[06:54] <_wd3_> nailbiter sorry what's command
[06:54] <nailbiter> Davey: It shouldn't change runlevels--it's just a way for init to upgrade itself to a newer executable without restarting the system
[06:54] <nailbiter> _wd3_: Open a terminal window, then type in 'ping <ip address>'
[06:55] <nailbiter> Davey:
[06:55] <Davey> nailbiter: yes?
[06:55] <allanh128> How do I install a floppy drive in ubuntu brezzy badger after the os has been installed?   We don't have an fd0 entry in /dev.
[06:56] <_wd3_> nailbiter brb by the way my other linux box is nic my daughter is hpna, have u heard of other problms?
[06:56] <nailbiter> Davey: That was a book falling on the enter key on my keyboard, sorry
[06:56] <Davey> nailbiter: lol
[06:56] <nailbiter> _wd3_: You need to provide more information to diagnose a hardware problem, if you suspect that to be the case
[06:57] <tolkan> could someone take a look at this error: http://pastebin.com/586443 I'm trying to find out how to set up my ipw3945 wireless device
[06:57] <nailbiter> allanh128: If it's a USB floppy, just plug it in and it'll appear as /dev/sda (or whichever SCSI device is free next)
[06:57] <_wd3_> nailbiter "network unreachable"
[06:58] <nailbiter> _wd3_: Ok. What's your IP address and netmask again? Are you behind a router on a home network?
[06:58] <odat> how do i make a file from the command line
[06:58] <odat> ?
[06:58] <allanh128> thanks.  No it'stheold fashioned ribbon cable kind.
[06:58] <allanh128> we put it in the machine after the install.
[06:58] <s|k> why might I not be able to hear sound from flash on websites when I can hear sound just fine from a cd?
[06:58] <ddonky> odat - what kind of file?
[06:58] <nailbiter> allanh128: Did you enable the floppy in the BIOS?
[06:58] <odat> these are the direction and i'm not sure how to do it
[06:58] <odat> create a new file as /etc/mkinitramfs/scripts/local-top/dmraid
[06:59] <matt__> room: having probs with apt-get
[06:59] <allanh128> Yes.  it is ebabled in the bios.
[06:59] <nailbiter> allanh128: Hm. Try a 'modprobe floppy'. Does /dev/fd0 appear after that?
[06:59] <matt__> what does the error "cannot find package __" mean?  i am trying to install xine
[06:59] <ddonky> odat - a script?
[06:59] <carlk> odat: touch  /etc/mkinitramfs/scripts/local-top/dmraid
[07:00] <nailbiter> odat: If you want to do it via a GUI, run "gksudo gedit" to open a root-privileged editor. If you want to do it via the command line, run "sudo vim /etc/mkinitramfs/scripts/local-top/dmraid"
[07:00] <carlk> odat: that will creeate an empty file
[07:00] <carlk> odat: yeah, guessing you want to put something in the file
[07:00] <nailbiter> matt__: The player package is "xine-ui".
[07:00] <allanh128> ok hold on
[07:00] <_wd3_> nailbiter ip 127.0.0.1, netmask 255.0.0.0, behind a home ntwk / router. sbc/pacbell  (hpna) home portal. my wife is conn usb to modem router, I am conn etho, daught well in xp usb adapter to phone line but linux won't register usb adapter
[07:00] <melv> hi
[07:00] <odat> k thanx but now i don't know how to do something else either
[07:01] <nailbiter> matt__: "xine" is actually a library with several front-ends. "totem-xine" is the standard GNOME media player which uses Xine as a backend.
[07:01] <matt__> also libdvdcss2 is not found maybe im missing something
[07:01] <nailbiter> _wd3_: 127.0.0.1 is the loopback interface; it wouldn't be an Ethernet interface at all
[07:01] <odat> i need to add a script or something but i'm not sure how to enter the commands
[07:02] <Ambugaton> hey i'm trying to make an HP DVR work w/ my laptop running ubuntu
[07:02] <Ambugaton> am i crazy?
[07:02] <nailbiter> matt__: libdvdcss2 is in the Marillat archive (mainly because it's not quite legal to use in many countries)
[07:02] <Ambugaton> or does some1 know how it will work?
[07:02] <nailbiter> Ambugaton: Does it have a Firewire interface? What is it supposed to show up as? A standard DV capture device?
[07:03] <carlk> Ambugaton: dvr = dvd burner, or a set top DVD recorder?
[07:03] <_wd3_> nailbiter thanks i was just thinking if my wife and i ip starts with 172 shouldn't daughters. so teh 127 is the address for the network right so i have to put in her ip huh? how?
[07:03] <matt__> ok, i am new to linux in general. i know basic commands
[07:03] <Ambugaton> ok
[07:03] <matt__> how do i add the marillot repos
[07:03] <Ambugaton> its a Hewlett Packard Digital Video Recorder
[07:03] <Ambugaton> it has almost every input imaginable and i'm hooked up w/ a standard USB
[07:04] <Madpilot> matt__, that's not advised - what're you looking for?
[07:04] <nailbiter> _wd3_: No--127.0.0.1 is "myself", or "the local computer". This address is always present for testing (even when you're not connected to anything). Your actual Ethernet interface is something else
[07:04] <matt__> im looking to add dvd capability
[07:04] <Ambugaton> i just wanna kno if i can do anything to make it work or if i'm barking up the wrong tree
[07:04] <Madpilot> !dvd
[07:04] <ubotu> DVD playing is possible in ubuntu. You may need libdvdcss2, which is available via http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages (section extras)
[07:04] <Ambugaton> right now all signs point to the latter
[07:04] <Madpilot> matt__, see ubotu's post ^^^
[07:04] <allanh128> ok here is what I get from typing modprobe floppy.  /dev# is /dev/fd
[07:04] <j1p> anyone in here use adesklets?
[07:04] <allanh128> then on the next line
[07:05] <carlk> Ambugaton: have a URL to the devices specs ?
[07:05] <_wd3_> nailbiter thanx so linux see the adapter then right?
[07:05] <Ambugaton> dont believe so
[07:05] <nailbiter> _wd3_: No, you're looking at the wrong interface
[07:05] <Ambugaton> lemme try to find one
[07:06] <nailbiter> _wd3_: Try GNOME menu -> System -> Administration -> Network settings  instead
[07:06] <_wd3_> nailbiter brb
[07:06] <Ambugaton> its a dual tv tuner
[07:06] <Ambugaton> and digital video recorder
[07:06] <Ambugaton> thats what it says right on it
[07:07] <seap> Hi folks...just did a dist-upgrade and upgrade from breezy to dapper, and now I won't boot. I'm not sure how else to explain it, it's like the bootloader hangs when the kernel is about to load after I hit enter on the list. Is this happening to a lot of people?
[07:08] <Madpilot> sean, try #ubuntu+1 for Dapper questions/issues
[07:08] <engla> seap: I think I've seen than with a b->d upgrade. You could go chat in #ubuntu+1 for dapper things though
[07:08] <Madpilot> seap, rather ^^^
[07:08] <seap> ahh
[07:08] <seap> that's a clever channel name. thanks =] 
[07:09] <_wd3_> anybody ready for a challenge?
[07:10] <j1p> anyone in here use adesklets? I'm having trouble, it will only run as root, when i try to run it as a normal user, it gives me /usr/bin/adesklets: No such file or directory, I had it installed via apt-get, but I removed that and installed the newest version from sourceforge
[07:11] <_wd3_> how can i mount or install my pci modem
[07:11] <jc2_> Hello, I'm working with allanh128 on the floppy drive install/mount. His results from modprobe floppy.  /dev# is /dev/fd

[07:19] <Madpilot> _wd3_, have you tried that wiki page? ^^^
[07:19] <mikebot> is there an aim type program for gnome-terminal?
[07:19] <_wd3_> madpilot it's rough , nothing.

[07:21] <Madpilot> mikebot, ah - no idea (I'm saying that a lot right now...) :P
[07:21] <_wd3_> madpilot i understand, i have a modem installed also how do i mount that?
[07:21] <mikebot> Madpilot: hehe, maybe we should demote you
[07:22] <carlk> mikebot: http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/net/naim
[07:22] <j1p> I installed a file using ./configure, make, make install, etc. How can I cleanly uninstall it
[07:22] <mikebot> carlk: is there any way to copy that in gnome terminal?
[07:23] <Madpilot> mikebot, do you need to install from the command line?
[07:23] <mikebot> Madpilot: no
[07:24] <carlk> jib - check the README - probably make uninstall
[07:24] <vincent_> anyone know when Kubuntu 6.04 will be ready for download?
[07:24] <mikebot> carlk: do you know how to change the font (/size) in gnome-terminal?
[07:24] <_wd3_> madpilot i can't get my modem config. how can i test it
[07:25] <vincent_> ?
[07:25] <kbrosnan> vincent_, april 20th i think
[07:25] <vincent_> oh goodie... not that far away then :D
[07:25] <vincent_> I'll use Winblows til then
[07:26] <vincent_> I want to use the new 2.6.15 kernel and KDE 3.5.1 and Open Office 2.0
[07:26] <matt__> madpilot: still cant install libdvdcss2
[07:26] <kbrosnan> vincent_, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseSchedule
[07:26] <engla> j1p: I recommend using "checkinstall" [in the future] , it's a tool to simplify this, basically you substitute "make install" with "checkinstall" and it makes a .deb and installs it. You can later remove the package in synaptic. But for now, try going to the source and use "make uninstall"
[07:27] <_wd3_> hey anyone knows a modem check utility to install a modem
[07:28] <j1p> Is there a reason when I run adesklets as a normal user it gives me: /usr/bin/adesklets: no such file or directory, but it works fine if i run it as root?
[07:28] <j1p> thanks engla
[07:29] <carlk> _wd3_: yeah, there is a "modem detect" script... hold on...
[07:29] <engla> j1p: no problem. j1p, check if the file really exists. Try "which adesklets" for both root and user
[07:29] <carlk> !winmodem
[07:29] <ubotu> hmm... winmodem is To get started with winmodems on linux, see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/
[07:29] <Ambugaton> would it  be possible to use modprobe in order to find the hardware i'm trying to make work?
[07:29] <carlk> yeah, that.
[07:29] <_wd3_> carlk thankx and unbotu also
[07:30] <carlk> yeah, that.
[07:30] <mikebot> carlk: ?
[07:30] <j1p> engla: There is no /usr/bin/adesklets, and "which adesklets" and "sudo which adesklets" both give no output
[07:30] <tulio2> http://downloads.transgaming.com/files/cedega-5.1.tgz
[07:30] <carlk> Ambugaton: no.  try lsusb, lspci and lshw
[07:31] <engla> j1p: well you probably installed to /usr/local/bin/ anyway (since you built from source). Your user _should_ have this in it's path, but there might be something strange (echo $PATH to make sure it's there)
[07:31] <carlk> mikebot: oh yeah, font in terminal?
[07:31] <_wd3_> carlk i really want to use my usb adapter for my (hpna) home network ( sbc) my wife is conn by usb, i am nic, my daughters usb isn't showing up
[07:31] <engla> can anyone tell if the f-spot version in breezy (0.1.3) is usable or not? I'm looking for export to flickr & original
[07:31] <j1p> engla: /usr/local/bin is in $PATH, and the file is in there
[07:31] <carlk> _wd3_: that isn't a "modem"
[07:32] <_wd3_> carlk yes i know but im having a hard time getting it config, don't want to linux again for the 3 time. i might jus get her up by modem so she can surf for now
[07:32] <mikebot> carlk: yeha
[07:33] <delmar> hrm. thats crazy. i removed a 120gig sata from an asus P5ND2 on sata1. put it on the P5N32.. also on SATA1, and all i get is .. error loading operating system.  since when did Linux behaive like frekin MS Windows and dislike one moving a boot disk from one PC to another...in terms of IDE/Sata compatability... anyone seen this before?
[07:33] <mikebot> carlk: not in terminal, but in gnome-terminal...so like not the applications>terminal thing, but when i use irssi
[07:33] <carlk> _wd3_: I would get a $20 wireless AP that has some wired ports
[07:33] <engla> j1p: I don't know what is looking for it in the wrong place, but if you really want to try, you can install it in /usr/bin instead..
[07:33] <j1p> do I just add an option when compiling it to do that?
[07:34] <engla> ./configure --prefix=/usr
[07:34] <j1p> thanks
[07:34] <_wd3_> carlk wired ports
[07:34] <engla> j1p: but then you have to make and install again
[07:34] <engla> :-(
[07:34] <j1p> its not too big of a process :)
[07:35] <clinton_> bonjorno everyone, I have a quick question for you. Is there a mpeg or wmv viewer for ubuntu? and if so, how and where do I dl/install it
[07:35] <Madpilot> !tell clinton_ about wmv
[07:35] <DJ_tobias> how do you remove something from a runlevel ?
[07:36] <Ambugaton> hey carlk i got a red flag here
[07:36] <Ambugaton> i did lsusb
[07:36] <engla> DJ_tobias: you want to remove services? You can use the package sysv-rc-conf
[07:36] <Ambugaton> and i have Adaptec, Inc. listed 3x
[07:36] <carlk> _wd3_: http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=334319&pfp=cat3 - $23
[07:37] <saads> does anyone here know what the status of kraal is?
[07:37] <saads> it's supposed to become the default firewall for ubuntu
[07:37] <_wd3_> carlk im reading it now
[07:37] <Ambugaton> anyhow, i give up on the HP website
[07:37] <Ambugaton> can't find shit
[07:37] <Ambugaton> alright, so i have my usb's listed
[07:37] <Ambugaton> and adaptec is listed on 3 of them
[07:37] <mikebot> carlk: also, do you know where i can look tos ee how to download/install naim?
[07:38] <carlk> mikebot: sudo apt-get install naim
[07:38] <j1p> engla: thanks a bunch, it works fine now :)
[07:38] <engla> j1p: nice.
[07:38] <Ambugaton> so if i'm not using modprob
[07:38] <Ambugaton> probe*
[07:38] <DJ_tobias> what is hotplug-n$ ???
[07:38] <Ambugaton> what the heck do i do next?
[07:39] <maruchan> has anyone had problems with gdesklet, that you get from synaptic
[07:39] <maruchan> it seems when i try to install a desklet it dosent show up on the desklet list
[07:39] <carlk> Ambugaton: google - find some tech info about the device
[07:40] <Ambugaton> i can't find any carlk
[07:40] <Ambugaton> google wont turn up anything
[07:40] <mikebot> carlk: how do i run it once it's installed?
[07:40] <Ambugaton> HP website wont turn up any specs or even acknowledge that the damn thing exists
[07:41] <Ambugaton> is this going to lead to writing my own driver?
[07:41] <Ambugaton> because i'm way too big a n00b to do that
[07:41] <carlk> Ambugaton: not if you cant find any specs
[07:42] <Madpilot> Ambugaton, hae you checked ubuntuforums.org?
[07:43] <Ambugaton> i gave it a poke
[07:44] <Ambugaton> i dont think anyone's tried this though
[07:44] <Ambugaton> or at least tried it and documented it
[07:45] <mikebot> carlk: for some reason it isn't connecting..
[07:46] <carlk> Ambugaton: it is a windows media center?
[07:46] <mikebot> carlk: ah, this is an old version it says
[07:46] <Ambugaton> yea its a windows media center
[07:46] <Ambugaton> does that mean i'm screwed?
[07:47] <clinton_> are there any anti virus programs for ubuntu?
[07:47] <carlk> Ambugaton: well, MS isn't known for trying to play well with others...
[07:47] <Ambugaton> yea i kno
[07:47] <Ambugaton> just couldn't get to sleep so i figured i might as well attempt something crazy
[07:48] <albert__> helloall I have an auto-update problem I cant seem to shake
[07:48] <mikebot> will a dapper program work in breezy?
[07:48] <mikebot> does anyone know????
[07:48] <carlk> mikebot: naim worked for me: /connect
[07:48] <albert__> something about not being able to get an exclusive lock
[07:49] <mikebot> carlk: what version?
[07:49] <carlk> mikebot: kinda - I am on a dapper box ;)
[07:49] <albert__> can anyone help
[07:49] <Madpilot> albert__, are you trying to run two install programs at the same time (Update & Synaptic, say?)
[07:50] <Seveas> albert__, close synaptic, apt-get, aptitude and all other package manegers
[07:50] <DaNeon> hi?
[07:50] <mikebot> carlk: i think i am running breezy..can i install the naim for dapper?
[07:50] <Mosi> Does anyone know a better PDF reader available for a PPC than Xpdf?
[07:50] <mikebot> carlk: i don't even know what dapper is
[07:50] <Seveas> mornin' Madpilot 
[07:50] <Madpilot> hi Seveas
[07:50] <albert__> no i tried to find them in the process manager thing but no luck
[07:50] <albert__> I couldnt locate them running
[07:50] <mlalkaka> when i print a text file using lp (from the command-line), the first 1-2 columns of text get cut off (probably because my printer can't print that far to the edge). how can i change the margin values for lp?
[07:50] <DaNeon> i installed amarok and i can't play mp3 files. i downloaded gstreamer.. is anything missing?
[07:50] <Madpilot> mikebot, Dapper is the next version of Ubuntu, it'll be out in about six weeks
[07:50] <albert__> also when I went to delete the lock file it said I didn't have permission
[07:51] <mikebot> Madpilot: how do people already have it?
[07:51] <Ambugaton> so should i just give up?
[07:51] <mikebot> Madpilot: and can i use a dapper program now?
[07:51] <Madpilot> mikebot, there's been test releases, and no, you shouldn't try to run Dapper stuff in Breezy
[07:51] <mikebot> Madpilot: argh, okay
[07:52] <mikebot> Madpilot: how hard will it be to go from breezy to dapper?
[07:52] <mikebot> Madpilot: and will i have to reinstall everything?
[07:52] <DaNeon> i'm on dapper flight 4
[07:52] <Madpilot> mikebot, not hard, and no, you won't have to reinstall anything (except maybe 3d drivers)
[07:52] <albert__> any suggestions
[07:52] <Mosi> Does anyone know a better PDF reader available for a PPC than Xpdf?
[07:52] <albert__> it still occurs after reboot
[07:52] <albert__> and I cant seem to shake it
[07:53] <albert__> im new at this
[07:53] <mikebot> Madpilot: how about from breezy to dapper test release to dapper?
[07:53] <carlk> albert__: do you know how to run apt-get from a shell prompt?
[07:53] <albert__> you could say im an MS sinner baptized in the church of Ubuntu
[07:53] <albert__> no
[07:53] <Madpilot> mikebot, you can do that, sure. Dapper is still in development, though
[07:53] <albert__> but im a fast learner
[07:54] <carlk> mikebot: only do dapper if you are prepared to loose everyting and start over
[07:54] <mikebot> carlk: i don't want ot start over or lose everything
[07:54] <mikebot> is breezy newer that hoary?
[07:54] <Mosi> mikebot: suggest not doing dapper then :P
[07:54] <albert__> Ive read I need to kill the lock or something of the sort before I can get a new exclusive lock
[07:54] <mikebot> Mosi: haha okay
[07:54] <Mosi> mikebot: yes, it is
[07:54] <Ambugaton> well thanks anyways carlk
[07:54] <Madpilot> mikebot, then stay away from the development versions :P
[07:54] <Mosi> Does anyone know a better PDF reader available for a PPC than Xpdf?
[07:54] <mikebot> what about changing the font size in gnome-terminal!?!?!
[07:54] <carlk> mikebot: then wait for it to be 'done'
[07:54] <engla> Mosi: evince?
[07:54] <Ambugaton> i really oughta hit the hay
[07:54] <Ambugaton> i'm wiped
[07:54] <Madpilot> Mosi, does Adobe do AcroRead for PPC?
[07:55] <Mosi> engla: i'll try it, thanks
[07:55] <engla> I don't think Acroread is available for linux/ppc :-(
[07:55] <carlk> albert__: find "terminal" and get to a $ prompt
[07:55] <albert__> ok
[07:55] <engla> I don't want it though
[07:55] <Mosi> Madpilot: i didn't try it, but i would be surprised. It's generally hard to get anythign commercial for Linux PPC because i can't build from source
[07:55] <albert__> im there
[07:55] <mikebot> carlk: you know how to change the font size in gnome-terminal!
[07:56] <engla> Mosi: I'm on ppc and I agree that there is almost nothing non-free... some surprises though, you should be able to find Opera and Real Player for ppc
[07:56] <Mosi> Madpilot: being a linux PPC user i get screwed from two sides with compatability :P even companies that distribute linux binaries don't usually make a second one for PPC
[07:56] <Madpilot> mikebot, look thru gnome-term's preferences
[07:56] <mikebot> Madpilot: where is that?
[07:56] <delmar> When using debian I could do as follows... boot up of a cd or working installation on a hard disk.. mount second disk ... and fix/install the mbr by doing something like.. chroot /mountpoint lilo.   whats the deal with ubuntu? i booted ubuntu.. alt-f2 to another screen, mounted the disk on /mnt... but ubuntu doesn't use lilo to init the mbr.. .. whats the story?
[07:56] <Mosi> engla: i might have to try Opera, i'm stuck on Mozilla right now because i busticated firefox
[07:56] <Madpilot> mikebot, Edit -> Current Profile
[07:56] <engla> ouch
[07:56] <albert__> got the prompt
[07:57] <mikebot> Madpilot: where is edit?
[07:57] <mikebot> Madpilot: i'm using alt+f1
[07:57] <Madpilot> mikebot, that's not gnome-terminal, then
[07:57] <carlk> albert__: sudo apt-get update
[07:57] <carlk> albert__: fairly sure that will error
[07:57] <mikebot> Madpilot: what is it?
[07:58] <engla> delmar: I think ubuntu uses grub, not lilo. I don't know since I use yaboot
[07:58] <serprime> hi.. i've installed mysql and apache, when configuring php with '--with-mysql' the script can't find the mysql header files.. does anybody know how to fix this, pls?
[07:58] <Seveas> serprime, install php rom the ubuntu repositories...
[07:58] <carlk> but when it does, you can cut/paste the message
[07:58] <Madpilot> mikebot, that's the console - the "real" command line. gnome-terminal is what you get w/ Applications->Accessories->Terminal
[07:58] <delmar> engla, yeah i figured it was grub.. but know nothing about it.
[07:58] <mikebot> Madpilot: ohhh okay..how do i change the font size in the console?
[07:58] <mikebot> or for the console, rather
[07:58] <serprime> ok Seveas, thx
[07:59] <delmar> bah. i was going to re-install anyway.
[07:59] <carlk> !paste
[07:59] <ubotu> Don't flood the channel! Please use the pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ or the channel #flood to paste large amount of text.
[07:59] <Triskelios> I have a breezy-based live cd that I want to set netcfg based on the mac address; would I be able to use preseed for this? I think that gets parsed before the ethernet drivers are loaded, though
[07:59] <Madpilot> mikebot, no idea, I always use gnome-terminal (except in emergencies, when I don't care about font size...)
[07:59] <mikebot> Madpilot: darn, okay, thanks
[08:00] <DoTheRodeo> is there any web server like apache for ubuntu?
[08:00] <mikebot> anyone know how to change the font size in the console?
[08:00] <Madpilot> !tell DoTheRodeo about apache
[08:00] <DoTheRodeo> is there any web server like apache for ubuntu?
[08:00] <albert__> it said dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg - - configure -- a' to correct the problem.
[08:00] <DoTheRodeo> OTHER
[08:00] <DoTheRodeo> i meant
[08:01] <carlk> albert__: there you go.  put sudo infront of it
[08:02] <mikebot> Madpilot: do you know where i could find out?
[08:02] <hondadarrell> anyone know how to install the essential codecs package for mplayer?
[08:02] <Madpilot> mikebot, not offhand. There are lots of commandline tutorials & such out on the web, though
[08:03] <albert__> ok
[08:03] <hondadarrell> I found Mplayer in the repos but I need to install the essential codecs package.
[08:03] <mikebot> Madpilot: oookkayyyyyy
[08:03] <mikebot> Madpilot: thanks
[08:04] <albert__> ok one more question
[08:04] <albert__> how do I install an RPM file
[08:05] <albert__> I just got a copy of a flight simulator in that format
[08:06] <engla> albert__: there is a tool called 'alien' that can solve this for you. RPMs are however, as you might understand, alien to the system. So it might break a little bit more than usual
[08:06] <DaNeon> hi anybody trying to play mp3 on amarok on dapper 4?
[08:06] <albert__> ok im willing to try anything as I am a pilot anxious to get my fly on
[08:07] <tonyyarusso> DaNeon: You can direct dapper questions to #ubuntu+1.
[08:07] <engla> albert__: get alien with your package manager "sudo apt-get install alien"; then you convert and install the package with "sudo alien -i package.rpm"
[08:07] <carlk> albert__:  what is the name of the rpm?
[08:07] <Madpilot> albert__, which flight sim?
[08:07] <engla> albert__: but you have to resolve dependencies yourself, that could be a problem. Good luck though
[08:07] <albert__> x plane
[08:08] <carlk> albert__: if it is good, good chance there is a ubuntu version
[08:08] <albert__> so is rpm bad for ubuntu
[08:08] <engla> nah, but it's not native
[08:08] <mikebot> okay
[08:08] <mikebot> night all
[08:09] <albert__> sorry if im ignorant but I just thought that most all linux software works with with most every distro
[08:09] <albert__> I see
[08:09] <Madpilot> CarlFK, XPlane is non-free
[08:09] <DaNeon> thz tonyyarusso
[08:09] <Madpilot> albert__, not always
[08:09] <albert__> oh yeah its payware, well more like donate ware
[08:10] <albert__> it is an incredible product so it is worth it
[08:10] <cppnewbie> mornin', i have this problem in here, when i boot up thru linux, after it when i go into windows, windows' clock is two hours back, while the clock here is ok. what causes this one? :S
[08:10] <albert__> hey mad pilot im a S/MEL - IFR studying for CFI(I), you?
[08:10] <Madpilot> albert__, install alien, and run it on the rpm, and see what happens
[08:11] <albert__> ok sure
[08:11] <Madpilot> albacker, PPL, studying toward CPL, eventually CFI
[08:11] <hondadarrell> cppnewbie, I noticed that too. very strange.
[08:12] <cppnewbie> and its not like its not properly configured in here. its ok in here :S
[08:12] <Madpilot> albert__, rather- PPL (SEL), studying for CPL, then CFI
[08:12] <albert__> oh yeah im sure you dont get this enough you guys but... THANKS
[08:12] <serprime> q: how can i remove compiled software?
[08:13] <engla> albert__: that software looks really cool, and it's nice of him to supply 3 platforms. The web design is horrible though. But tell us about your progress and if the install works
[08:13] <albert__> hey mad pilot if you need some advice, anytime I'd be happy to give you my email
[08:13] <albert__> hey no problem
[08:13] <blazemonger> serprime, :make uninstall
[08:13] <engla> serprime: if you are lucky, you can "make uninstall" where you did "make install"
[08:14] <Madpilot> albert__, sure - pm me?
[08:14] <albert__> sure
[08:14] <engla> serprime: but if you use the tool 'checkinstall' for installing in the first place, it becomes safer&easier
[08:14] <serprime> really.. cool.. thx blazemonger, engla
[08:14] <superx> hi
[08:15] <elephanthunter> Hello :D
[08:15] <superx> why does the package mgr hang?
[08:16] <elephanthunter> When does it hang?
[08:16] <albert__> to do that i just do direct client-to-client then open chat right
[08:17] <superx> when browsing other "sections while its applying changes
[08:17] <blazemonger> serprime, : if you can find  a way to compile svgalib from sources feel free to msg me
[08:17] <blazemonger> it's one of the few th ings i am having no luck in compiling
[08:17] <Madpilot> albert__, just do "/msg Madpilot <whatever>"
[08:18] <elephanthunter> ubotu no, automatix is <reply> automatix is unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'ynYn'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, but it's often best to read the documentation. (see !easyubuntu)
[08:18] <ubotu> okay, elephanthunter
[08:18] <albert__> ok i see
[08:18] <elephanthunter> Somehow the description for automatix has been changed the last three times I've visited this channel.
[08:19] <Madpilot> elephanthunter, it used to be a fair bit blunter than it is now
[08:19] <blazemonger> what options exist when you want to install a package but conflicts are in the way? do you just compile fom sources?
[08:20] <elephanthunter> That's not my original description. I modified it to add "(see !easyubuntu)"
[08:20] <elephanthunter> Personally I don't mind automatix
[08:20] <superx> huh?
[08:20] <superx> it doe sit for me
[08:20] <blazemonger> the closest to a distro with full develiopment tools is slackware ..mandrake doesnt install the development libraries.fedora core.too many cd's for a os.
[08:20] <cppnewbie> guys, in the way i remove a directory, in this way i can copy a directory? (ex. rmdir something -> cpdir something)
[08:21] <superx> it just takes few mintues an dthen its does but if browse othere files in the server it sometimes hangs
[08:21] <serprime> blazemonger, svga?? don't understand
[08:21] <superx> not true dev wise knoppix has many
[08:21] <brian_> what's the best app for video's,   mplayer, xine, or what ?
[08:21] <brian_> does xmms play video's or is it only a cd player?
[08:22] <superx> video
[08:22] <Mosi> cppnewbie: the command to copy a file (or directory) is called 'cp', and you have to give it two arguments. first, the name of the thing to copy, second, the name of the copy to make.
[08:22] <elephanthunter> ubotu, tell brian about easyubuntu
[08:22] <j1p> Are there any decent looking AIM clients that will run on fluxbox, gaim is just ugly
[08:22] <superx> gaim rules
[08:22] <mylo> brian_, xmms have many plugins, including video
[08:22] <elephanthunter> Err.. oops
[08:22] <superx> its only video
[08:22] <elephanthunter> Bad move on my part. That doesn't answer your question >.<
[08:22] <Madpilot> brian_, I like totem-xine - seems to play everything video-wise
[08:22] <mylo> brian_, i'd pick vlc for video player
[08:22] <cppnewbie> Mosi its cp as a directory as well? i thought that cp was only to copy a file :P
[08:23] <hondadarrell> ubotu, tell hondadarrell about easyubuntu
[08:23] <superx> by the way i get no audiop on ubuntu
[08:23] <blazemonger> ubuntu is like inbetween
[08:23] <blazemonger> serprime, :svga as in superVGA as in the type opf video cards
[08:24] <Mosi> cppnewbie: in linux, directories are files :P the data in a directory file is just a list of filenames, and the locations on disk where those files are
[08:24] <carlk> cppnewbie: man cp and look for -a
[08:24] <Mosi> cppnewbie: you might have to do 'cp -R' to get all the stuff in it
[08:24] <brian_> i was trying to use totem-xine, and it said i was already using a video app, which is wrong, then i went to use vlc, and said i was missing a header file
[08:24] <superx> so no ide ahuh?
[08:24] <superx> it hung in 5.04
[08:24] <carlk> brian_: i like mplayer
[08:25] <superx> not as bad in 5.10
[08:25] <cppnewbie> it says -a is same as -dpR (??:S)
[08:25] <superx> i use mpegs only so i dunno
[08:25] <brian_> yeah, this file's a avi that i'm trying to play
[08:25] <Madpilot> brian_, have you gone thru the RestrictedForums wiki page?
[08:26] <superx> mpeg is my fav format or macromedia from google video
[08:26] <brian_> nope
[08:27] <Madpilot> !tell brian_ about restricted
[08:27] <glick> xcuse me
[08:28] <glick> i was checking out my xorg.conf file
[08:28] <glick> and i see default depth set to 16 instead of 24
[08:28] <superx> why no sound in ubuntu?
[08:28] <glick> shouldnt it be 24 ?
[08:29] <Madpilot> superx, you should have sound...
[08:30] <superx> nope
[08:30] <Madpilot> superx, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[08:30] <glick> hey whats the utility for reconfiguring x
[08:30] <glick> ?
[08:31] <Hobbsee> !xfcg
[08:31] <ubotu> Some people juggle geese. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Hobbsee
[08:31] <Hobbsee> !xcfg
[08:31] <ubotu> I guess xcfg is to reconfigure your xserver, open a terminal and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[08:31] <superx> no thanks  i'm no programmer
[08:31] <matt__> what does the "package [x]  has no installation candidate" mean
[08:32] <Madpilot> !xfce
[08:32] <ubotu> rumour has it, xfce is a lightweight Desktop Environment that uses GTK. to install, "sudo apt-get install xfce4" or "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". http://www.xfce.org/
[08:32] <mlalkaka> when i print a text file using lp (from the command-line), the first 1-2 columns of text get cut off (probably because my printer can't print that far to the edge). how can i change the margin values for lp?
[08:32] <carlk> matt__: guessing X isnt in the repos you are using
[08:32] <carlk> matt__: what is X?
[08:33] <matt__> X is libdvdcss2.  i added universe multiverse and backports
[08:33] <matt__> extras too
[08:33] <Madpilot> !dvd
[08:33] <ubotu> DVD playing is possible in ubuntu. You may need libdvdcss2, which is available via http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages (section extras)
[08:33] <Madpilot> matt__, ^^^
[08:33] <superx> dvd my ass
[08:33] <matt__> i know madpilot but i got stuck
[08:33] <superx> my ubuntu is dvd!
[08:34] <albert__> hey guys I am downloading Americas Army. It is in the form of a .run file is there anything special I will have to do to install it
[08:34] <Madpilot> albert__, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AmericasArmy
[08:34] <cppnewbie> which did we say is the way of editing the startup? :S
[08:35] <albert__> thanks
[08:35] <glick> why is my xorg.conf file show a default depth of 16?
[08:35] <carlk> cppnewbie:  what are you trying to achieve ?
[08:35] <glick> shouldnt it be set to 24?
[08:35] <cppnewbie> adding something else to happen on startup :P wasnt it a file i edit? .bashrc or something? :S
[08:35] <carlk> glick: my guess is the config couldn't figure out how much vid ram you have
[08:35] <glick> carlk, so can i manually go in there and change it to 24?
[08:36] <carlk> cppnewbie: .bashrc will make things happen when you start bash - is that what you mean?
[08:36] <carlk> glick: yes.
[08:36] <cppnewbie> im not sure lol
[08:36] <matt__> btw how do you direct a post to an individual like you did
[08:36] <superx> doe subuntu use gdi like vista?
[08:37] <glick> carlk, so thats all i have to change?
[08:37] <cppnewbie> i want like to edit what will happen when i input the username and the pass to the pc and kde boots up. normal startup
[08:37] <glick> the depth?
[08:37] <carlk> matt__: glick - depends on if that is all that needs to be fixed ;)
[08:37] <carlk> glick: but it won;t hurt to try
[08:38] <glick> how do i restart x?
[08:38] <albert__> so what other type of good games aare there for ubuntu
[08:38] <glick> ctrl alt backspace
[08:38] <glick> ?
[08:38] <Madpilot> albert__, Enemy Territory?
[08:38] <DoTheRodeo> glick, /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[08:38] <zebra> how can I check what kernel modules my wireless interface (eth0) is using?
[08:39] <DoTheRodeo> zebra,  ifconfig?
[08:39] <DoTheRodeo> oh nvm
[08:39] <cppnewbie> so how do i change my startup? :S :D :P
[08:40] <zebra> how do I list all active kernel modules?
[08:41] <glick> sweet
[08:41] <glick> thanks
[08:42] <timfrost> zebra, lsmod
[08:43] <carlk> cppnewbie: what do you want to happen when?
[08:44] <cppnewbie> i want to put "export PATH="/usr/local/pspdev/bin:$PATH" to my startup, to happen when i log in
[08:45] <albert__> never heard of it
[08:45] <albert__> any others
[08:46] <xiO__> for at login, it should be in .bash_profile, I think
[08:46] <pavlovsdog> put it in ~/.bashrc
[08:46] <carlk> cppnewbie: then you want... yeah  .barshrc
[08:47] <cppnewbie> now that i changed it have the changes taken effect
[08:47] <cppnewbie> ?
[08:47] <carlk> cppnewbie: exit, open a new shell
[08:47] <tvliegend> hallo iedereen
[08:48] <pavlovsdog> gdm overrides
[08:48] <carlk> cppnewbie: that gets "run" each time you start a new bash session (shellO)
[08:48] <pavlovsdog> /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[08:48] <skaredmask> hay all
[08:49] <xiO__> login only is .bash_profile btw, .bashrc is every time a new shell is started
[08:49] <skaredmask> so how long dose ot take 4 wine packets?
[08:49] <Madpilot> cppnewbie & carlk: to reload .bashrc, just type "source .bashrc" - changes will take affect w/o having to restart your xterm
[08:50] <cppnewbie> well they took effect either way now :P
[08:50] <cppnewbie> it worx
[08:50] <cppnewbie> however once again
[08:50] <xiO__> or ". .bashrc"
[08:50] <cppnewbie> im having problems with my external usb drive :'(
[08:51] <cppnewbie> was wrong the other time, tis not fat alone, tis fat16. tried -o umask=0 to c what happens but still no luck
[08:51] <cppnewbie> !ntfs
[08:51] <ubotu> ntfs is probably the filesystem used in Windows 2000 and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[08:51] <cppnewbie> huh, hope this will help me
[08:52] <skaredmask> so who has wine here?
[08:54] <DoTheRodeo> is it a good idea to install ubuntu as a hell then just install all the necessary packages?
[08:54] <DoTheRodeo> server*
[08:54] <DoTheRodeo> is it a good idea to install ubuntu as a server* then just install all the necessary packages?
[08:55] <Madpilot> DoTheRodeo, the default install is quite complete and much easier if you're going for a desktop anyway
[08:55] <carlk> DoTheRodeo: what are you trying to do?
[08:56] <DoTheRodeo> thinking bout reinstalling ubuntu
[08:56] <pavlovsdog> why
[08:57] <matt__> thanks madpilot i finally got it installed
[08:57] <carlk> DoTheRodeo: is /home on a seperate partition?
[08:57] <DoTheRodeo> something is messed up
[08:57] <Fable> hwo did u get hell and server mixd up
[08:57] <pavlovsdog> fix it
[08:57] <DoTheRodeo> and i have to make my partition little bigger
[08:57] <pavlovsdog> do it
[08:57] <Fable> i dont want to
[08:57] <DoTheRodeo> Fable, copy and paste
[08:58] <Fable> im copyin and pasting wat
[08:58] <DoTheRodeo> CarlFK, yeah
[08:58] <calyth> is there a package for unix2dos or something like it? I've tried apt-cache search unix2dos and dos2unix and nothing
[08:58] <DoTheRodeo> Fable hwo did u get hell and server mixd up
[08:58] <Kube> can I unpack .rar files with ubuntu ?
[08:58] <Fable> yeh
[08:58] <Fable> thats wat i askd
[08:58] <Madpilot> !rar
[08:58] <ubotu> well, rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FileCompression
[08:58] <pavlovsdog> !find unix2dos
[08:58] <pavlovsdog> rar -x
[08:58] <Kube> so I can do it :)
[08:59] <pavlovsdog> !info unix2dos
[08:59] <calyth> pavlovsdog: thanks it was under sysutils....
[09:00] <sinattaj> hi folks, is it possible re-use the downloaded updates by transfer them to another machine?
[09:00] <pavlovsdog> it did the find
[09:01] <pavlovsdog> yes they're in /var/cache/apt/archives
[09:01] <carlk> sinattaj: check out http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/admin/apt-zip
[09:01] <Fable> wen u cant login as the root usr even though it is enabled for login, what is it
[09:01] <sinattaj> carlk: thanks, i'll see it.
[09:02] <Frogzoo> can anyone please tell me how I get gtkwifi to run in the task bar, after the deb is installed?
[09:02] <meee> stupid question, what is the syntax to use apt-get to find an application?
[09:03] <Frogzoo> meee: apt-get search 'regex'   iirc
[09:03] <Fable> i dont know wat syntax is so go ahead with stupid questions
[09:03] <pavlovsdog> apt-cache search
[09:03] <meee> ty
[09:03] <pavlovsdog> see also apt-file
[09:03] <Frogzoo> meee: nope, that's wrong :(
[09:04] <meee> Frogzoo: you are right, it is wrong
[09:05] <Frogzoo> meee: 'apt-cache search regex' - pavlovsdog got it
[09:06] <Madpilot> Fable, there is no usable root user in Ubuntu by default...
[09:06] <meee> pavlovsdog: couldn't stat source package list
[09:06] <Madpilot> Fable, and no need for one
[09:06] <Fable> i know but u can still enable it to login
[09:06] <Fable> i have done it before but now it doesnt work
[09:06] <Fable> so i dunno
[09:06] <pavlovsdog> ubuntu selinux
[09:07] <toe> hey all
[09:07] <toe> jsut installed and x wont start
[09:07] <toe> lol
[09:08] <Fable> i have a prob that i have to use windows for work... but things like notepad r just plain crap programs so i was wondering is there a website that just plain is devoted to convertin program like gedit to a usable windows .exe or sumtin
[09:08] <toe> cant really find a major error in logs
[09:08] <pavlovsdog> what's wrong with notepad
[09:08] <Frogzoo> !tell Fable about sudo
[09:08] <pavlovsdog> but you want editpad lite
[09:08] <pavlovsdog> google
[09:08] <carlk> Fable: check out cygwin
[09:09] <Fable> how easy is cygwin
[09:09] <pavlovsdog> heh
[09:09] <pavlovsdog> as easy as slack
[09:09] <Frogzoo> Fable: cygwin is kinda awkward, imo
[09:09] <pavlovsdog> maybe easier
[09:10] <pavlovsdog> but you want editpad lite
[09:10] <pavlovsdog> or pro
[09:10] <Fable> k
[09:10] <pavlovsdog> or sourceforge.net
[09:10] <Frogzoo> Fable: y not just emacs?
[09:10] <hondadarrell> how do i run a run file?
[09:10] <pavlovsdog> ./blah.run
[09:11] <cppnewbie> isnt it sh blah.run ? :S
[09:11] <pavlovsdog> make sure it's executable
[09:11] <carlk> cppnewbie: do head blah.run
[09:11] <Fable> i dunno i wuld just like the idea of makin the source of gedit into a windows program
[09:11] <carlk> the first line may tell you want kind of file it is
[09:11] <carlk> Fable: that is kinda what http://cygwin.com is all about
[09:12] <pavlovsdog> !info file
[09:12] <ubotu> file: (Determines file type using "magic" numbers), section utils, is standard. Version: 4.12-1ubuntu1 (breezy), Packaged size: 27 kB, Installed size: 100 kB
[09:12] <carlk> Fable: but probably isn't what is best for your 'need'
[09:12] <Frogzoo> Fable: the 'g' is a giveaway that this won't work - where you gonna get gnome libraries for doze?
[09:12] <carlk> ohh yeah.. forgot about file
[09:12] <Madpilot> Frogzoo, some of the gtk libs have been ported, actually
[09:13] <pavlovsdog> gtk for windows? omg
[09:13] <Frogzoo> Madpilot: hot damn - that's crazy
[09:13] <carlk> 2am!?  when i gotta sleep
[09:13] <Madpilot> Fable, look for an app called "EditPad" - it's very good
[09:13] <matej1983ubuntu> All: Could help me somebody with verlihub? I am lama :)
[09:13] <Fable> i have editpad lite
[09:13] <pavlovsdog> llama
[09:13] <Fable> dw nemore
[09:13] <misnix> textpad isn't bad either
[09:13] <Fable> it will do
[09:14] <matej1983ubuntu> Dj_lama :))
[09:14] <pavlovsdog> lammah
[09:14] <matej1983ubuntu> lamas 4ever
[09:14] <pavlovsdog> lama
[09:15] <Rawplayer> mi
[09:15] <matej1983ubuntu> who started verlihub already: i compiled it
[09:15] <matej1983ubuntu> but when i type "verlihub" it freeze and do not start
[09:17] <matej1983ubuntu> nobody? :((
[09:17] <matej1983ubuntu> even pavlovsdog???
[09:17] <hondadarrell> can anyone help me install linux UT2004 demo?
[09:18] <matej1983ubuntu> direct connect software but thanx for answer :)
[09:18] <pavlovsdog> but sounds like you need to recompile
[09:19] <matej1983ubuntu> i compiled, i sonnected to mysql
[09:19] <Sp4rKy> hi
[09:19] <matej1983ubuntu> hi sp4rky
[09:19] <KenzoIX> hi everyone.....I'm still having prob with my on-board sound card
[09:19] <Sp4rKy> where do i add the file to add a wm to the gdm chooser ?
[09:19] <KenzoIX> I've it on Asus P4RD1-MX board
[09:19] <ramlez> hi
[09:20] <KenzoIX> and ubuntu hang when it starting hotplug subsytem whenever i enable my sound card
[09:20] <KenzoIX> I've searched a while....but din't find out anyway
[09:21] <KenzoIX> Ctrl+C does nothing for me
[09:22] <KenzoIX> hey room....r there anyone :(
[09:22] <ramlez> why i can do only one thing on ubuntu :( ex. if i download and instal updates i won't instal anytging else :(
[09:22] <matej1983ubuntu> me but i cant help you
[09:22] <Madpilot> ramlez, all the install apps use the same database, so only one can run at at time
[09:23] <KenzoIX> I think my prob is very common
[09:23] <Frogzoo> KenzoIX: you need to examine /var/log/messages - especially where the card is first detected
[09:23] <Sp4rKy> please ...
[09:23] <ramlez> Madpilot, thx ;) but i am not happy :(
[09:23] <KenzoIX> I can't boot into ubuntu unless I disable the sound card
[09:24] <KenzoIX> so I think it can't be anything in the log file
[09:24] <KenzoIX> opss...sorry
[09:24] <KenzoIX> I forgot to mention
[09:24] <KenzoIX> I'm running ubuntu from live CD
[09:25] <KenzoIX> I want to give it a try before I install it
[09:25] <sixoh> is anybody alive that can tell me a FTP prog that is PRET capable?
[09:25] <KenzoIX> Will a fresh installation help?
[09:26] <Frogzoo> KenzoIX: I believe some bits of hotplug are borked on live cd - you'll probly have better luck on a real install
[09:26] <Aine> Sixoh: Did you try gFTP? (I'm not too sure if it is, but it's worth a shot)
[09:26] <sixoh> yea thats what im running right now
[09:26] <r0x0r> sixoh: pftp with pret patch
[09:27] <sixoh> im trying to connect to a drftpd server
[09:27] <sixoh> r0x0r: thanks
[09:27] <sixoh> r0x0r, where do i get the patch?
[09:27] <r0x0r> lemme check
[09:27] <sixoh> r0x0r, thx
[09:28] <r0x0r> sixoh: http://drftpd.org/index.php/Clients_with_PRET_support
[09:28] <KenzoIX> uhm.....thank you man....but is there any esier way?
[09:29] <Aine> r0x0r: You just beat me to pasting it :^)
[09:29] <r0x0r> hehe
[09:29] <r0x0r> sixoh: kftpgrabber is good one
[09:29] <Frogzoo> KenzoIX: I'm saying that is the easier way...
[09:29] <r0x0r> pftp is console based
[09:29] <Aine> KenzolX: To get the best experience...you should do a full install of Ubuntu (assuming thats what you are discussing) .
[09:30] <sixoh> r0x0r, thx a million
[09:30] <matt__> hey when i do dmesg | grep DVD i get no response
[09:30] <KenzoIX> :sad:....it make me thinking
[09:30] <matt__> what is the proper command
[09:30] <Aine> KenzolX: Are you running Windows?
[09:31] <KenzoIX> I've heard that the partion manager of ubuntu is on the low side
[09:31] <KenzoIX> yes
[09:31] <Aine> KenzolX: The partition manager on the installer?
[09:31] <Sp4rKy> anyone can help me ?
[09:31] <Frogzoo> KenzoIX: 1st I heard of it
[09:31] <Toma-> irc exploits?
[09:31] <Frogzoo> !helpme
[09:31] <ubotu> If you don't actually ask a question, we can not actually help you.
[09:31] <Aine> Sp4rKy: What do you need help with? :)
[09:31] <KenzoIX> sorry....i don't mean..
[09:31] <Toma-> matt__, what are you trying to accomplish?
[09:32] <KenzoIX> sorry....my English is poor
[09:32] <KenzoIX> wait a minute :P
[09:32] <shinu> what should i do if grub says "Inconsistent filesystem structure" at the initrd stage?
[09:32] <Toma-> anyone running moinmoin? id like to ask a couple questions in private...
[09:33] <Aine> KenzolX: Having ubuntu built with GRUB...it is very easy to work with. Make a partition for 5-9 gigs to test..put the ubuntu there the GRUB auto installer will detect windows XP making dual boot VERY easy :). I had ran dual boot and just deleted my XP partition earlier cause I dont use it anymore :)
[09:33] <Toma-> shinu, get a live cd like knoppix and use a disk manager to check the filesystem integrity
[09:33] <pavlovsdog> unless it's the initrd
[09:33] <KenzoIX> there
[09:33] <KenzoIX> http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=436440
[09:34] <KenzoIX> "Ubuntus partitioner is on the weak side. But you should be able to do it."
[09:34] <ssdo> just want to ask, after upgrading dapper today, i lost openoffice2. why? what happened?
[09:34] <shinu> Toma- what disk manager?..
[09:34] <Toma-> shinu, like gparted or soemthing
[09:34] <Toma-> even fdisk runs checks on start
[09:34] <Madpilot> ssdo, try #ubuntu+1 for Dapper questions
[09:34] <Aine> KenzolX: I had no issues putting Ubuntu on with my XP on both my laptop and desktop..so maybe they had a special case.
[09:35] <ssdo> ok madpilot thnks
[09:35] <Toma-> ssdo, change or package name. :( ask in #ubuntu+1
[09:35] <shinu> Toma- you mean gpart? can i use fsck?
[09:35] <Toma-> yep
[09:35] <KenzoIX> uhm.....i will seriouly consider it
[09:36] <Aine> KenzolX: If you do it, you will be very happy. The first days are the hardest hehe, but reading is the key to everything...google is your friend, and so is IRC.
[09:36] <Aine> KenzolX: Soon enough, you'll forget about Windows ;)
[09:36] <KenzoIX> :)
[09:37] <Madpilot> Aine, what's Windows?
[09:37] <shinu> Toma- i just did a e2fsck on the partition though it still dumps the error
[09:38] <Aine> Madpilot: I think that evil operating system that has BsOD :D
[09:38] <Toma-> shinu, youll need something that can check the whole system, not just 1 file system
[09:38] <Toma-> brb
[09:38] <Frogzoo> shinu: that sounds nasty - you can do a repair, but...
[09:38] <KenzoIX> and Aine, I'm KenzoIX, not KenzolX ( the upcase i, not l) :D
[09:38] <shinu> Frogzoo but?.. im quite desperate... i just recovered my mbr and partition table yesterday.....
[09:39] <Aine> Ken: I will just use Ken since I'm a lazy typer hehe :D
[09:39] <Madpilot> Aine, the Tab key is your friend - type 'Ken' then hit Tab
[09:39] <Frogzoo> shinu: are you sure you recovered the partition table correctly? that's prime suspect no #1
[09:39] <KenzoIX> hehe :D
[09:39] <Aine> Madpilot: I lean something new every day :-D
[09:40] <shinu> Frogzoo well... i used something called testdisk, and it did it quite well.. though there is one thing....
[09:40] <shinu> Frogzoo there is a weird space between 2 partitions that im sure wasnt there before...
[09:40] <KenzoIX> Frogzoo, yah....the tab key works great
[09:41] <KenzoIX> Madpilot, sorry....i'm wrong
[09:41] <KenzoIX> :P
[09:41] <Aine> Poor KenxoIX is seeing things hehe
[09:41] <cppnewbie> tried mounting a device not read-only but the problem persists. i cant seem to mount it.. (damn) heres what i used: mount -o rw,user,auto,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 /dev/sdc1 /media/sdc1 <--- would that work? :S
[09:41] <KenzoIX> hehe....then i've got another question
[09:42] <KenzoIX> should i install ubuntu on primary partition or extended?
[09:42] <KenzoIX> and AFAIK, I will need a swap partition, right?
[09:42] <Aine> KenzoIX: Primary is what Im running on. Swap is optional, but always recomended.
[09:43] <Madpilot> KenzoIX, how much ram do you have?
[09:43] <KenzoIX> 512MB
[09:43] <KenzoIX> but 64MB is for the on-board VGA
[09:44] <ssdo> anybody here heard of a media format called .vsr?
[09:44] <Frogzoo> Aine: swap isn't really that optional...
[09:44] <ssdo> i want to play it
[09:45] <Aine> ssdo: http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=VSR
[09:45] <Madpilot> KenzoIX, for 512, go with around 1Gb of swap if you've got the space
[09:45] <Aine> Frogzoo: In all cases or his? I've always known swap to be just recommended.
[09:45] <KenzoIX> 1GB of swap disk huh?
[09:46] <hyphenated> screw that
[09:46] <Madpilot> Frogzoo, if you've got 1Gb or more of RAM, swap seems pretty optional - I rarely max out my 1Gb, with cache or anything
[09:46] <rob> how often are CC meetings?
[09:46] <Frogzoo> Aine: the kernel code is optimised assuming swap exists - running without swap is a big performance hit
[09:46] <Madpilot> rob, every 2 weeks - wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda
[09:46] <Aine> KenzolX: I have a gig of ram with probably 100 mb of swap space and never had any issues, so you should strive for the 1 gig area.
[09:46] <hyphenated> I would recommend 256MB of swap, max
[09:47] <rob> cheers Madpilot
[09:47] <Madpilot> rob, np
[09:47] <Fable> i rarely use my 1gig of ram in linux becuase it fails to access the internet :( and reso sits at 640x480
[09:47] <Aine> Fable: What video card?\
[09:48] <Fable> 6600GT
[09:48] <pavlovsdog> if you do something like modeling you might want a larger swap
[09:48] <Aine> Fable: Did you install the nvidia-glx package?
[09:48] <z3r0x> good night
[09:48] <Fable> not yet
[09:48] <Frogzoo> also swap is a consideration if you want to suspend to disk...
[09:49] <Aine> z3r0x: Goodnight
[09:49] <Fable> do u have to apt-get to get it
[09:49] <Fable> cuz i cant access net
[09:49] <Aine> Fable: did you setup your net configuration ?
[09:49] <Fable> yeh on my laptop it works it auto detects and then on this comp *in windows atm it just doesnt work at all
[09:50] <Fable> with linux
[09:50] <Aine> Fable: Set it up on a static address. Would you be using hardwire or wireless?
[09:50] <KenzoIX> set it up with correct DNS sever
[09:50] <Fable> hardwire
[09:50] <KenzoIX> don't use DNS relay
[09:50] <Fable> cat5 from router
[09:51] <Aine> Fable: And your routers DHCP isn't handing it an IP? Do what I did..set it up with a static address :-D
[09:51] <Frogzoo> can someone point me in the right direction to d/l the gtkwifi 1.3 deb via cvs? damned if I can figure it out
[09:51] <Fable> k ill try
[09:52] <Fable> first im gunna install in windows via wmware

[09:53] <Fable> either that or the keyboard chnaged them
[09:53] <Madpilot> rob, you volunteering for op here too? Nice to know there are other insane ppl out there :P
[09:53] <rob> heh yeah
[09:54] <rob> I'm on here pretty often as a staffer anyway
[09:54] <Aine> Fable: Do you want me to PM you instructions with setting up Ubuntu on static address? I'm about to go to sleep.
[09:54] <rob> try dealing with several #ubuntu's, now thats insane ;)
[09:54] <Fable> yeh i was just gunna do that :P
[09:55] <Bateau_> what is the url to that repositories maker?

[09:56] <Fable> Aine: u gunna pm?
[09:56] <rob> oh yeah
[09:56] <rob> lovely stuff
[09:56] <Aine> Fable: I did :). asked you what kind of router you have.
[09:56] <KenzoIX> I can't do it with live CD huh?
[09:56] <matt__> room: what is an easy way to make an icon in the menu for an app i normally have to run via terminal
[09:56] <matt__> e.g. xine
[09:56] <Fable> lol it aint there
[09:56] <rob> Madpilot, we even had devs from different projects trying it, it was insane
[09:56] <Aine> Fable: PM me :)
[09:56] <Fable> i will
[09:57] <Aine> KenzoIX: Sorry, I haven't had to resize my partitions, so I couldn't help :(
[09:57] <Fable> woops
[09:57] <Fable> i dunno how
[09:57] <Madpilot> rob, I booted one of our own devs for trying one of the milder exploits - he was not amused
[09:57] <Fable> tell me
[09:57] <rob> Madpilot, so I heard hehe
[09:57] <Bateau_> how do i set proxy in console?
[09:57] <Aine> Fable: What kind of router do you have? :)
[09:57] <KenzoIX> :(.....I have to resize my partitions
[09:57] <Protocol1> !rar
[09:57] <ubotu> rar is, like, totally, a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FileCompression
[09:57] <Fable> um seimens
[09:58] <KenzoIX> will ubuntu installation do it and keep my current data
[09:58] <Madpilot> rob, he was lucky, the latest round of D C C crap is earning klines from lilo :P
[09:58] <Aine> Fable: What is your current IP and subnet mask and gateway?
[09:58] <damo21> which user:group  does apache2 use in ubuntu
[09:58] <Aine> KenzoIX: I think you should try partition magic for windows to be safest if you can't get any other answers here.
[09:58] <KenzoIX> :((
[09:59] <KenzoIX> It cost 70$
[09:59] <KenzoIX> :((
[09:59] <Aine> KenzoIX: :) gotta know where to look.
[09:59] <KenzoIX> I don't want to use crak prog
[09:59] <KenzoIX> that's why I'm giving ubuntu a try
[09:59] <Aine> KenzoIX: I'm also sure there are alternatives to it, but I've always used it.
[09:59] <hyphenated> KenzoIX: it worked fine for me
[10:00] <Fable> um my ip can be wateva 192.168.254.xx   255.255.255.0     192.168.254.254
[10:00] <Madpilot> KenzoIX, you can't use gparted on a mounted partition
[10:00] <KenzoIX> ok....i will umount it
[10:01] <s|k> how do I run a file with the .run extension?
[10:01] <Aine> Fable: Can you access your desktop (Xserver) or only terminal?
[10:01] <KenzoIX> yeah.....i'm doing it right now
[10:01] <Aine> s|x: through terminal.
[10:01] <KenzoIX> :D
[10:01] <KenzoIX> hey...how much I need for the install partition?
[10:02] <Fable> Aine: ?
[10:02] <KenzoIX> Is 3GB enough?
[10:02] <Aine> KenzoIX: If you're just testing to test, 4-9 gigs should do.
[10:02] <Fable> i dont know much about network
[10:02] <s|k> Aine: what do I type?
[10:02] <KenzoIX> what? 4-9GB?
[10:02] <Fable> or linux
[10:02] <Madpilot> KenzoIX, the basic install is about 1.8Gb
[10:02] <KenzoIX> It's only 1 CD
[10:02] <KenzoIX> uhm....so I will go for 3GB
[10:03] <Bateau_> how do i set proxy settings in console?
[10:03] <Aine> Fable: Ok, can you see desktop or only a console (like windows dos)
[10:03] <Fable> nah i can see deskto[
[10:03] <Aine> KenzoIX: I'm sure you're going to want to install programs hehe.
[10:03] <Fable> desktop
[10:03] <Ashly> I just reinstalled ubuntu went to just the x86 because theres too much that still isnt x86_64 compat.
[10:03] <KenzoIX> and 1GB for the swap partition huh?
[10:03] <KenzoIX> uhm.....the first time...i think it's enough
[10:04] <Aine> s|k: Just open terminal and type sudo then drag the file into terminal..you can do it that way..easiest :)
[10:04] <KenzoIX> I can resize it again anytime ;)
[10:04] <KenzoIX> just to see if my sound card work or not
[10:04] <s|k> Aine: it says command not found
[10:05] <Fable> Aine: im seeing wat happens wen i run it in VMware
[10:05] <s|k> Aine: the entire command, path, file is:  sudo /home/bjorn/ET/et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[10:05] <s|k> it wont work
[10:06] <Aine> Fable: Ok, open terminal and type the following. sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces_backup    then type sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces then on your primary device paste
[10:06] <Aine> 	address 192.168.254.5
[10:06] <Aine> 	netmask 255.255.255.0
[10:06] <Aine> 	network 192.168.254.0
[10:06] <Aine> 	broadcast 192.168.254.255
[10:06] <Aine> 	gateway 192.168.254.254
[10:06] <Aine> 	# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
[10:06] <Aine> 	dns-nameservers 192.168.254.254
[10:07] <Aine> then save it
[10:07] <Aine> s|k: What you typed should work...what error did it give?
[10:07] <Toma-> leet flood
[10:07] <Aine> Toma: I didnt know line breaks would do that :(
[10:07] <Toma-> amazing.
[10:07] <Toma-> !pastebin
[10:07] <ubotu> well, 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 - Install webboard for easy pasting from the gnome taskbar :)
[10:07] <morphix> how can i make it that ubuntu DOESNT keep history of nano and bash?
[10:08] <s|k> Aine: using: sudo sh path+file     worked
[10:08] <Aine> s|k: Awesome. I usually can just put the relative path and it worked. Just installed americas army and it's .run :P
[10:08] <benplaut> morphix: why don't you want it to?
[10:09] <morphix> well i do things in bash which has passwords, etc in it.. dont want it recording it
[10:09] <Sp4rKy> where do i add a file to add a wm choice with gdm ?
[10:09] <morphix> i know everything that gives a password prompt doesnt get recorded.. but a lot of stuff i do doesnt use prompts
[10:10] <Madpilot> morphix, ask google about that - there are great bash tutorials out there
[10:10] <Toma-> morphix, 'man bash' has a big section on 'history'
[10:11] <Madpilot> Toma-, 'man bash' has a big section on everything, that's part of the problem with it :P
[10:11] <Toma-> hehe :D
[10:12] <Aine> Madpilot: I'm relatively new to linux all together..what are the purposes of "man" and "man" folders ?
[10:12] <morphix> is there a 'search' function in man? lol
[10:12] <Madpilot> Aine, "man" is the command to show the manuals
[10:12] <Madpilot> !cli
[10:12] <ubotu> CLI means Command Line Interface, aka the terminal or console. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicCommands or http://www.linuxcommand.org/ or http://www.tuxfiles.org
[10:12] <Aine> Madpilot: I love you ;)
[10:12] <Madpilot> Aine & morphix - see the 1st URL there ^^^
[10:12] <KenzoIX> Aine, man man
[10:12] <KenzoIX> :)
[10:13] <rob> bah, stupid connection
[10:13] <Aine> Time to update drivers. brb.
[10:13] <swistak> anyone have any expirience with openoffice ?
[10:13] <Madpilot> !anyone
[10:13] <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 find out? <hint>
[10:13] <Fable> Aine: that workd for the vmware ubuntu now ill boot up in ubuntu and see wat happens
[10:13] <s|k> Aine left :/
[10:13] <Fable> lol
[10:13] <Fable> oh well
[10:13] <redguy> !opera
[10:13] <ubotu> it has been said that opera is not in the Ubuntu repositories, but you can always download the latest Opera .deb package from http://www.opera.com/download/ and then see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OperaBrowser
[10:14] <Fable> !opera
[10:14] <swistak> okey
[10:14] <swistak> anyone know how to change default langue of open office ?

[10:14] <ramlez> can I install easybreezy on ubuntu ver 5,04?
[10:15] <onkarshinde> How can I connect bluetooth HID devices automatically when they are in range?
[10:15] <Madpilot> EZgun, because it's better than FF </flamebait> :P
[10:17] <EZgun> Madpilot, i mean, are there advantages to using opera?
[10:17] <KenzoIX> which is the best support unicode browser?
[10:17] <Madpilot> EZgun, no more messing with all those FF plugins - the thing just works
[10:18] <KenzoIX> I'm using firefox, but it some site i render incorrectly
[10:18] <Madpilot> EZgun, plus anyone doing web design should have as many browsers available as they can, for testing...
[10:19] <EZgun> ahhh, word.
[10:19] <iLee> how do i install a ftp client to ubuntu ?
[10:20] <iLee> i downloaded one, but it says Traceback (most recent call last):
[10:20] <iLee>   File "ftpcube", line 21, in ?
[10:20] <onkarshinde> KenzoIX: What language sites? It may be related to language support in Ubuntu.
[10:20] <cybervolkan> sudo apt-get install gftp
[10:20] <KenzoIX> vietnamese site
[10:20] <onkarshinde> iLee: If you know how to use Synaptic then install gftp
[10:20] <iLee> ok
[10:20] <iLee> thanks
[10:21] <Madpilot> iLee, the file manager (Nautilus) does basic FTP quite well - File menu -> Connect To Server
[10:21] <KenzoIX> ahh....may be....GAIM is also display vietnamese character incorrectly
[10:21] <iLee> oh
[10:21] <iLee> its just Firefox only shows ftp listing

[10:24] <onkarshinde> Healot: That would help, but I wanted to ask a specific question regarding bluetooth in Ubuntu
[10:24] <EZgun> i had an idea to help make ubuntu easier on macs...
[10:25] <onkarshinde> Healot: This is not about GPRS. This is about using my Sony Ericsson phone as remote
[10:25] <iLee> gftp installed.
[10:25] <Healot> just join bluetooth, onkarshinde, i help out there
[10:25] <Healot> remote what?

[10:28] <Psykus> gnome question, the thing that flashes the windows in the window list (like if there's an IM) doesn't stop flashing when I open the window, is there anyway to change/fix this?
[10:28] <iLee> thanks
[10:28] <onkarshinde> Linux_Kong: Could you please join #bluetooth? We will discuss it there.
[10:28] <Linux_Kong> onkarshinde: sure
[10:29] <tharglet> lol, thought I forgot my password for my main account... then I realised I was using su instead of sudo
[10:29] <iLee> how come if u do SUDO natalious, i can explore my ntfs partition. But, without doing sudo nat. i cant ?
[10:29] <iLee> says Cannot show HDA2, (unless i run with Sudo)
[10:29] <palc1> who knows where the repo list is located on the ubuntu install cd?
[10:30] <farous> ilee set it up in your fstab
[10:30] <palc1> is it in a deb file?
[10:30] <tharglet> ...but what can u do if root has a random [secure]  password and u forget ur own... does that mean reinstall?
[10:30] <farous> !ntfs
[10:30] <ubotu> [ntfs]  the filesystem used in Windows 2000 and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[10:30] <Madpilot> tharglet, you can reset your user pw
[10:30] <iLee> thanks for URL
[10:30] <farous> :)
[10:31] <Madpilot> tharglet, might want to print this out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LostPassword :P
[10:31] <palc1> can files in deb packages be modified without repacking them
[10:31] <tharglet> Madpilot, but what happens if it's the admin acct...
[10:31] <palc1> can just one file be edited?
[10:32] <alheim> hello...i cannot see anymore my sound card...whereas i see it under windows
[10:32] <Frogzoo> palc1: nope - you'll mess the md5
[10:32] <crimsun> alheim: what sound card?
[10:32] <iLee> i have changed FSTAB, so that everyone can access hda2.. what next ?
[10:32] <alheim> crimsun : i ve an a6vc laptop
[10:32] <crimsun> alheim: ...what sound card?
[10:32] <palc1> is it possible to edit files in deb archives with mc?
[10:33] <EZgun> has anyone had trouble setting up ubuntu on macs?
[10:33] <tharglet> Madpilot, last suggestion is best for all else fails then :)
[10:33] <Madpilot> tharglet, you can still recover -see that webpage
[10:33] <alheim> crimsun : this is a intel chipset relteck
[10:33] <ErPiU> iLee, sudo mount /dev/hda2 -o remount
[10:33] <crimsun> alheim: is it an HDA (high def audio) chipset?
[10:33] <alheim> crimsun yes
[10:34] <Healot> oh
[10:34] <crimsun> alheim: sec
[10:34] <Healot> HDAs
[10:34] <iLee> it still says HDA2, i dont have permission
[10:34] <palc1> guys, who are ubuntu experts here?
[10:34] <alheim> crimsun it used to work perfectly...since the latest automatic update, it does not work anymore
[10:34] <EZgun> it's not unethical to rob config settings from yellowdog and share it with the ubuntu world?
[10:35] <iLee> /dev/hda2       /media/hda2     ntfs    ro,auto,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000       0       0
[10:35] <redguy> palc1: just answer your question
[10:35] <iLee> thats the line in my FSTAB
[10:35] <rob> yes
[10:35] <rob> umm
[10:35] <Healot> fmask=0111,dmask=0000? I think this permission mask are the culprits
[10:35] <redguy> palc1: erm ask
[10:36] <narzy> morning all
[10:36] <shinu> how would i do an integrity check on my drive with gparted?..
[10:36] <iLee> if i change it back to Default, it has no affect
[10:36] <redguy> palc1: ah, I can see your question now
[10:36] <palc1> redguy, do you know if it's possible and permitted to edit the repositories list on the Ubuntu InstallCD? Where is it located? Is there a way to have other repos on the list in the in the installed system by default (so users wouldn't have to add new ones after installation)? PLS ///...
[10:36] <palc1> is the list in a deb file?
[10:36] <Healot> iLee, do you want to access the disk right, and leave it ro(ed)?
[10:37] <Healot> then umask=0022
[10:37] <palc1> can the file be easily modified then?
[10:37] <crimsun> alheim: what was modified in the update?
[10:37] <iLee> i want to have it as a persistant mount
[10:37] <morphix> ah crud
[10:37] <alheim> alheim : i think this was related to linux headers
[10:37] <alheim> crimsun
[10:37] <morphix> !pastebin
[10:38] <ubotu> [pastebin]  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 - Install webboard for easy pasting from the gnome taskbar :)
[10:38] <redguy> palc1: you might want to read about FAI - Fully Autoamted Install
[10:38] <alheim> crimsun : but I have compiled again the alsa-modules against the newx headers
[10:38] <palc1> redguy, where can I read about it?
[10:38] <crimsun> alheim: uname -r
[10:38] <alheim> 10-386
[10:38] <morphix> can someone help me please? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9780
[10:39] <crimsun> alheim: that's truncated; I need the full uname -r
[10:39] <Healot> -ra is more verbose
[10:39] <crimsun> no, -r is sufficient.
[10:39] <alheim> 2.6.12-10-386
[10:39] <iLee> well ive done that, and now hda2 is blank (with no error)
[10:39] <palc1> redguy, you see I want to create a small repo of the downloaded files and to put it as a default in the list on the iso CD image for my neighbours use
[10:39] <redguy> palc1: http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/Installing_Ubuntu_Linux_with_FAI
[10:40] <crimsun> alheim: cat /proc/asound/version
[10:40] <crimsun> alheim: use pastebin if more than one line
[10:40] <palc1> just as the extra packages would be awailable out of the box
[10:40] <redguy> palc1: though I'm not sure you can prepare install CD's with FAI
[10:40] <iLee> healot: well ive done that, and now hda2 is blank (with no error)
[10:40] <ID_of_Fei> is anyone here knowledgable about getting graphics tablets to work?
[10:41] <palc1> redguy, I thought it might be possible to just edit a file within a deb package. Is it?
[10:42] <alheim> crimsun hmmmm I'm not in front of my home coputer
[10:42] <mylo> ID_of_Fei, mine is genius wizardpen
[10:42] <crimsun> palc1: as in change something in a file contained in a debian package file? No. You must extract it, make the change, then rebuild the package.
[10:42] <narzy> I installed ESP Print Pro on my ubuntu box, and it broke a bunch of packages
[10:43] <narzy> is there any way for me to clean them up?
[10:43] <Healot> iLee, did you just append "umask=0022" or you remove the prior masks?
[10:43] <crimsun> alheim: you need to have at least ssh access to the Ubuntu Breezy install
[10:43] <Healot> ro,auto,nouser,umask=0022  << mine
[10:43] <alheim> crimsun : i have installed the alsa drivers
[10:43] <iLee> Healot: /dev/hda2       /media/hda2     ntfs    umask=0022       0       0
[10:43] <ID_of_Fei> mylo, mine's a crappy little trust wireless scroll TB-4200
[10:43] <jdumont> howdy... is there a way to lock down a linux box say for an internet kiosk?
[10:43] <crimsun> alheim: please be more precise.
[10:44] <canllaith> jdumont: KDE has the kiosk framework, the new gnome 2.14 release candidate also has a tool
[10:44] <Psykus> gnome question, the thing that flashes the windows in the window list (like if there's an IM) doesn't stop flashing when I open the window, is there anyway to change/fix this? it seems to stop after a predetermined amount of time
[10:44] <alheim> crimsun : sorry....i cannot connect to my home computer
[10:44] <jdumont> thank you canilaith
[10:44] <redguy> jdumont: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kdecore/README.kiosk?view=markup
[10:44] <crimsun> alheim: it is nearly impossible to assist you in troubleshooting if you don't have at least ssh access to the Ubuntu Breezy install. Please try again later.
[10:44] <canllaith> jdumont: there is also a mailing list for the kiosk framework you might like to join and ask some questions/read some archives
[10:44] <alheim> crimsun ok...thanks anyway
[10:45] <palc1> redguy, d'you know which package contains the repo list?
[10:45] <canllaith> jdumont: http://www.kde.org/mailinglists/
[10:45] <narzy> I installed ESP Print Pro on my ubuntu box, and it broke a bunch of packages
[10:45] <narzy> is there any way for me to clean them up?
[10:45] <jdumont> i've always been a late comer to new operating systems and have recently learned to lock down xp/2000 but xp is my last ms operating system so i may as well learn it in linux.
[10:46] <narzy> thats the spirit jdmpike
[10:46] <narzy> err jdumont
[10:46] <bigfoot1> what can i do to make my computer (powered on) to auto-lock at 830am Monday to Friday, regardless if somebody is currently using the computer?
[10:47] <redguy> palc1: AFAIK sources.list is generated during the install, don't know which package does it actually, sorry
[10:47] <narzy> cronjob logout every 30 seconds for that time period
[10:47] <palc1> redguy, sorry for asking these many may be silly qs, how can I extract a deb file so to edit and rebuild it afterwards ?
[10:48] <bigfoot1> narzy: oh cronjob? how do i do that? please teach step by step if you please
[10:48] <iLee> how would i search for all files that countain "John cabot" in hda1 ?
[10:48] <mylo> ID_of_Fei, http://www.stud.fit.vutbr.cz/~xhorak28/index.php.iso-8859-1?page=WizardPen_Driver

[10:49] <iLee> grep only works for 1 file
[10:49] <redguy> palc1: hrmm, never done it myself. Maybe crimsun could help you on that
[10:49] <Healot> with all small letters
[10:49] <aeolist> anybody using qemu? i installed a new kernel, do i have to recompile qemu + kqemu to make it work? if so, how can i remove the previous qemu installation? i did the checkinstall thingy

[10:50] <wyawc2000> why i reinstall grub using liveCD, and i install grub, but , i also couldn't log in ubuntu...

[10:52] <Spec> xgl is awesome... :p
[10:52] <Psykus> is there any way to get wine to use different themes or XP style theming for windows apps?
[10:53] <Madpilot> wyawc2000, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[10:54] <shinu> when i run fsck /dev/hda, it dumps an erro aroud fsck.iso9660 not found, can i disable the iso fsck somehow?
[10:54] <palco> reduy, is there some kind of deb package viewer/unpacker? can debs be unpacked with the standard archive tool?
[10:54] <Healot> shinu, you don't fsck a CD?
[10:54] <crimsun> palco: dpkg-deb -x, or ar, or ...
[10:54] <iLee> ErPiU, i want to search /hda1 though
[10:54] <ErPiU> iLee, grep "John cabot" /media/hda1 -R --inc="*.txt"
[10:55] <iLee> ErPiU, thanks
[10:55] <crimsun> palco: yes, file-roller will extract the contents, too, by using the appropriate backend
[10:55] <shinu> Healot nope, its a hd im trying to fix, though it has many different partitions, including an ntfs one
[10:55] <ErPiU> iLee, this will search for *.txt files !
[10:55] <palco> crimsun, oh, thanx
[10:56] <iLee> ErPiU, is it case sensitive ?
[10:56] <palco> crimsun, d'uoy know which packages generates the repo list during install?
[10:56] <crimsun> palco: the installer bits are not my knowledge, sorry.
[10:56] <wyawc2000> i have been do it, according it .
[10:56] <ErPiU> iLee, yes , man grep :)
[10:57] <crimsun> palco: what do you need to do?
[10:57] <john__> hi guys
[10:57] <wyawc2000> but when i reboot, log in ubuntu, it tell me , my gnome have a problem
[10:57] <iLee> ErPiU, is there a switch to make it UN case sentisive
[10:57] <tharglet> I tend to have trouble reading/understanding man pages... urgh
[10:58] <shreevatsa> iLee, -i
[10:58] <shreevatsa> iLee, (for case-*i*nsentive)
[10:58] <jdumont> canlliath looks like i will subscribe to the kde-kiosk mailing list for now.  thanks everyone... gotta get back to bed.    shhhhh
[10:58] <john__> how can i change the root password in ubuntu
[10:59] <john__> ?
[10:59] <redguy> john__: why would you want to do that?
[10:59] <farous> what is a good appl to open rtf files?
[10:59] <redguy> farous: abiword?
[10:59] <john__> because i need root rights
[10:59] <redguy> john__: what's wrong with sudo?
[10:59] <john__> in the default installation is no root configured
[10:59] <farous> redguy: it is just text right?
[10:59] <tharglet> john__, is it something u can do with sudo?
[10:59] <Madpilot> john__, use sudo & your own user pw
[10:59] <Madpilot> !sudo
[10:59] <ubotu> By default, the root password is locked in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[10:59] <palco> crimsun, I am on a 400 pcs network. Iwant to create a small repo in the network. So I thought may be it is possible to edit the repo list on the Ubuntu install CD so that my repo is listed in the repo list after installation when the CD image was downloaded from me. Such a custom Ubuntu Install CD // Do you think that's possible?
[10:59] <Healot> wait a sec, how to compile source code package and package it at the same time, like rpmbuild does?
[11:00] <iLee> yay it worked :D
[11:00] <farous> redguy: am not an abiword fan would openoffice or maybe just gedit open it
[11:00] <iLee> i found my old CV :D
[11:00] <crimsun> palco: sure, you need to read the example-content stuff on the wiki
[11:00] <tharglet> iLee, :D
[11:00] <redguy> farous: can rtf files contain antyhing else than text? rtf stands for Rich Text Format, doesn't it?
[11:00] <crimsun> palco: you will end up generating a customised Ubuntu image
[11:00] <redguy> farous: gedit most propably won't. OOo should manage as good as abiword
[11:01] <Healot> wait a sec, how to compile source code package and package it at the same time, like rpmbuild does?
[11:01] <farous> redguy: ok thanx this guy scanned some papers and sent it do not know how in rtf
[11:01] <farous> thanx again redguy
[11:01] <ErPiU> iLee, and now we know your real name :D
[11:01] <crimsun> Healot: from Debianised/Ubuntuised source?
[11:01] <iLee> ErPiU, you do :S
[11:01] <Healot> yeah
[11:01] <crimsun> Healot: debuild
[11:02] <Healot> thanks
[11:02] <iLee> ErPiU, how ?
[11:02] <palco> crimsun, Id probably have to download the whole image then, but all I need just a modified list ..
[11:02] <Healot> i really missed the flexibiity of Redhat-based distro...
[11:02] <crimsun> palco: that's correct.
[11:03] <morphix> hmm.. whats the package name for mysql-dev?
[11:03] <ErPiU> iLee, aren't you "John Cabot" ? ;)
[11:03] <morphix> cant seem to find it amongst apt-cache
[11:03] <iLee> ErPiU, silly :P thats my school
[11:03] <[nige] > anyone know how to way to see the way that IE renders pagas under linux?
[11:03] <crimsun> !info libmysqlclient14-dev
[11:03] <ubotu> libmysqlclient14-dev: (mysql database development files), section libdevel, is optional. Version: 4.1.12-1ubuntu3.1 (breezy), Packaged size: 5221 kB, Installed size: 14616 kB
[11:03] <ErPiU> lol
[11:03] <iLee> lol
[11:03] <shreevatsa> [nige] , IE? *gasps*
[11:03] <[nige] > yer i know
[11:04] <crimsun> morphix: see what ubotu just stated.
[11:04] <shreevatsa> what would make you run IE on Linux?
[11:04] <[nige] > i want to be able to setup css and tables things so it looks fine in most browsers
[11:04] <morphix> ah k thanks crimsun
[11:04] <[nige] > no, I dont want to do it, but i may have too :(
[11:04] <iLee> brb
[11:04] <redguy> [nige] : winetools allows you to install IE fairly easily
[11:04] <[nige] > its the only way I can check rendering,
[11:04] <palco> crimsun, could you suggest any website or may be a channel where people might talk on this ...
[11:05] <[nige] > yer i have it installed, but ie is borked....i dont have any toolbars
[11:05] <redguy> [nige] : but AFAIK winetools is not in the repos, you would have to install it by yourself
[11:05] <crimsun> palco: have you searched the wiki and forum(s)?
[11:05] <raphink> installling IE on wine is illegal
[11:05] <[nige] > yep, its a script
[11:05] <morphix> :|
[11:05] <redguy> raphink: not true, it's illegal if you don't have a valid Windows License
[11:05] <morphix> who the <blank> would want to use that shit anyway?
[11:06] <raphink> morphix: ;)
[11:06] <[nige] > for rendering purposes
[11:06] <morphix> ppfft
[11:06] <morphix> render my ass
[11:06] <[nige] > i wanna see it work properly
[11:06] <palco> looking through the wiki, almost gave up searching forums. cannot figure out how the search function actually works there ///
[11:06] <redguy> morphix: sadly, about 75% of people browsing Internet
[11:06] <morphix> n00bs.
[11:06] <[nige] > morphix, did you ever use IE at any stage??
[11:07] <[nige] > whether forced or by choice :P
[11:07] <morphix> used it up until i got told of firefox and opera
[11:07] <ErPiU> morphix, some sites like IE only !
[11:07] <[nige] > ahh i seee... thats just as bad :P
[11:07] <[nige] > you should just used lynx :P
[11:07] <Toma-> id just make it work good for firefox, and add one of those trendy "Get Firefox" Buttons to the page.. and a "Get Linux" one too :D
[11:07] <morphix> get the firefox plugin.. fake it :P
[11:07] <Protocol1> has anyone in here got camfrog to run on ubuntu?
[11:07] <[nige] > whats it called?
[11:07] <[nige] > whats the pluggin called
[11:08] <canllaith> Actually, I recently had a look at crossover office's faq on licensing issues for microsoft software running under wine
[11:08] <morphix> cant remember its name. but it can spoof the browser
[11:08] <canllaith> and it's their opinion it's perfectly legal
[11:08] <morphix> to appear as anything else
[11:08] <morphix> e.g IE
[11:08] <ac> how start pureftp?
[11:08] <morphix> the ONLY site it wont work with.. is of course micros$haft winblows update
[11:09] <shreevatsa> why would anyone use lynx when elinks is available?
[11:09] <Toma-> links2 -g is pretty rad too
[11:10] <feugan3333> Hi all. Does anyone know how to enter special characters in on the keyboard, such as the pound sign.
[11:10] <redguy> what do you need links for when you have telnet!
[11:10] <afd__> hi! How do i install opera 9 on dapper? I get something about missing xlibs, I checked and I don't have that, but I have libx. I've tried this with the static linked qt cversion
[11:10] <Toma-> feugan3333, like, shift-3?
[11:11] <crimsun> feugan3333: (that's not a special character given certain keyboard configurations)
[11:11] <Toma-> afd__, #ubuntu+1 for dapper
[11:11] <Toma-> RTFT
[11:11] <morphix> [nige]  btw if i went ANYWHERE with a IE only pc.. i would take my usb flash drive which has firefox on it :P
[11:11] <[nige] > lol
[11:11] <[nige] > but you still used it :P
[11:11] <feugan3333> I mean like the english currency
[11:11] <crimsun> 
[11:11] <Toma-> oic
[11:11] <morphix> yes.. but i never use it anymore
[11:11] <Toma-> 
[11:11] <raphink> 
[11:12] <feugan3333> AAAaahhh
[11:12] <Toma-> i use the xchat character chart
[11:12] <sgamer_> ok i have a quick question
[11:12] <afd__> Toma-: how to get an answer from there, that channel is not as active as this oen
[11:12] <sgamer_> if i have a ton of tars in a directory and just want to untar them all in the directory at once with a command, what would i use?
[11:12] <Toma-> afd__, probably because dapper isnt supported yet.
[11:12] <NET||abuse> anyone know anything about mounting with -t cifs,
[11:12] <crimsun> feugan3333: Accessories> Character Map
[11:12] <Madpilot> Toma-, where does XChat hide the character chart?
[11:12] <morphix> sgamer_ tar -xf *.tar
[11:12] <sgamer_> doesnt work
[11:13] <NET||abuse> i've tried mounting with a number different options
[11:13] <morphix> should
[11:13] <morphix> works here
[11:13] <sgamer_> i know
[11:13] <Toma-> Madpilot, Window>Character Chart
[11:13] <morphix> i use it all the time
[11:13] <TrendyDark> if i wanted to install KDE/XFCE and still have gnome, i would just use apt-get and select the WM at start up right?
[11:13] <Madpilot> Toma-, ah, just found it - thanks
[11:13] <Toma-> np
[11:13] <NET||abuse> but it keeps saying mount error 1 = Operation not permitted
[11:13] <raphink> TrendyDark: yes
[11:13] <TrendyDark> thanks, raphink, just a quick question lol
[11:13] <sgamer_> i just get a lot of tar: whatever.tar: Not found in archive
[11:13] <feugan3333> Ok, but i was hoping to do it with the keyboard, like on windows :-)
[11:13] <morphix> odd
[11:13] <fsancho> hi all
[11:13] <NET||abuse> Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
[11:13] <sgamer_> i know
[11:13] <NET||abuse> now i've read the whole man page,
[11:13] <NET||abuse> but nothing is evidently wrong
[11:14] <ramlez> /usr/share/fonts/truetype
[11:14] <Emperor> good morning
[11:14] <redguy> feugan3333: try alt-shift-3
[11:14] <ramlez> oh sorry ;)
[11:14] <bimberi> TrendyDark: you select them from the login screen (Session menu)
[11:14] <ph1qt10n> i accidentally installed grub on MBR, now windows won't boot, any help?
[11:14] <NsOmNiAc> looking for help setting up my wireless laptop to connect
[11:14] <ph1qt10n> will fixmbr correct the error? or fixboot on windows?
[11:14] <NsOmNiAc> jacked in no problem
[11:14] <NET||abuse> my mount command is mount.cifs kernel mount options unc=//192.168.1.254\Users,ip=192.168.1.254,pass=pw,ver=1,rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noauto,username=user,dom=DOMAIN
[11:14] <morphix> ph1qt10n: why wouldnt u install grub on mbr? lol
[11:14] <NsOmNiAc> but wireless I'm having issues
[11:14] <Emperor> NsOmNiAc, what is the problem ? did you have installed the wireless stuff ?
[11:14] <NsOmNiAc> yup
[11:15] <NsOmNiAc> nciswrapper
[11:15] <fsancho> anyone with the same problem? i'm using dapper and have dist-upgraded just today, and firefox crash with with any page with flash
[11:15] <NsOmNiAc> everything
[11:15] <ph1qt10n> morphix, because hd0,0 is the MBR, and grub is supposed to be installed on hd0,4 which is my linux partition
[11:15] <NsOmNiAc> even something that is called WiFi Radar
[11:15] <Emperor> fsancho, had the same with other mozilla applications like thunderbird and ftd4linux also.. wasnt able to fix it
[11:15] <ph1qt10n> and remember ubuntu assigns hd0,0 tu windows, now everytime i select windows on grub, the grub restarts it loops.
[11:16] <Toma-> fsancho, file a bug. thx.
[11:16] <J_element> running ubuntu 5.1 , i have a wireless nic usb , DLInk DWL-G122
[11:16] <J_element> i cant seem to get the driver for it
[11:16] <J_element> any one familiar with this problem ?
[11:16] <Emperor> NsOmNiAc, hmm i think i cannot help you, dont have wireless here to guide you.
[11:16] <NsOmNiAc> I followed this http://www.vollink.com/gary/deb_wifi.html
[11:16] <Madpilot> !wireless
[11:16] <ubotu> well, wireless is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards if it does not work out of the box https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper windows drivers
[11:17] <J_element> Madpilot,  please illustrate ...
[11:17] <Madpilot> J_element, read the URL that ubotu posted ^^^
[11:17] <NsOmNiAc> ok saved that will look at that later today
[11:17] <NsOmNiAc> thanks
[11:17] <J_element> k thx
[11:17] <ph1qt10n> i accidentally installed grub on MBR, now windows won't boot, any help? will fixmbr correct this problem or fixboot?
[11:18] <redguy> ph1qt10n: fixmbr will fix windows, but it will break grub
[11:18] <ph1qt10n> redguy: and what about fixboot?
[11:19] <ramlez> how i can paste tahoma font into /usr/share/fonts/truetype/custom ??
[11:19] <redguy> ph1qt10n: you should be able to boot windows with grub in the MBR
[11:19] <[nige] > hmm spoof doesnt work so well
[11:19] <Healot> fixboot only rebuilds the boot.ini file
[11:19] <redguy> ph1qt10n: can you paste your /boot/grub/menu.lst file to the pastebin?
[11:19] <tharglet> Has anyone else had problems downloading via FF on BB 5.10?
[11:19] <redguy> !tell ph1qt10n about pastebin
[11:19] <bluewater1000> ph1qt10n: basically XP will over write mbr and take out linux,, ,, linux when insatlled over XP is a good corporate citizen
[11:19] <Toma-> chainloader!
[11:20] <linuxboyfriend> !mysql
[11:20] <ubotu> methinks 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
[11:20] <ac> why pureftp can`t start?
[11:20] <Dr_J> morning all..  are there any other settings for the remote desktop feature in ubuntu?  ie can i restrict which IPs can connect to it?
[11:20] <Healot> P = Perl, PHP, Python, and Poof
[11:22] <Toma-> Dr_J, hummm. might need a more fully featured VNC server for that. or, some IPtables rules
[11:22] <Emperor> Dr_Fate, IPtables would do the trick i think
[11:22] <golanx> Hi! There is an error in an ubuntulinux.org page: who can I contact about it?
[11:22] <Mart> hi, hopefully an easy one
[11:23] <Madpilot> golanx, which page?
[11:23] <golanx> http://www.ubuntu.com/developers
[11:23] <redguy> ph1qt10n: sorry got to go now, but somebody here or in #grub will be able to help you out. grub in the MBR is a good solution in most cases.
[11:23] <Mart> I have a clean install of ubuntu, but need to update the drivers or the screen is corrupt once it boots
[11:23] <tharglet> Argh, lost a library... something can't find -lgdbm... the help says it uses perl... any clues to where I get to download the lib?
[11:23] <golanx> it says that the next conference will be "below zero", but it already happened :-)
[11:23] <Mart> trying to install the nvidia it has asked for binutils, gcc and make
[11:24] <Mart> I did the sudo apt-get thing on all those and now its asking for libc
[11:24] <Emperor> !nvidia
[11:24] <ubotu> somebody said nvidia was at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368
[11:24] <Ng> Mart: you probably need to install build-essential
[11:24] <Madpilot> !b-e
[11:24] <ubotu> from memory, b-e is no make ?  you need build-essential or if you get errors saying gcc cannot create executables, or that you can't find header files like stdio.h, you need to do a    sudo apt-get install build-essential.
[11:24] <ph1qt10n> redguy: i accidentally installed grub on (hd0,0) MBR, and the GRUB is pointing that windows is on hd0,0, so grub loops each time i select windows xp to boot
[11:24] <ph1qt10n> redguy: fixmbr will restore the windows boot correct? then i can reiinstall GRUB on hd0,4 ubuntu partition
[11:24] <rem_> anyone knows what clamav shows in logs when a virus is found ? (when file is clean it says "ok", when not .. ?)
[11:24] <Mart> many thanks
[11:24] <golanx> Madpilot: do you have any suggestions?
[11:24] <Mart> i'll give that a try :)
[11:25] <Madpilot> golanx, that page looks pretty neglected, to be honest - I'll ask about it, though - thanks
[11:25] <morphix> ph1qt10n: what hdd is your xp on?
[11:25] <tharglet> Anyone any idea?
[11:25] <morphix> u NEED grub on the mbr of your first bootable hdd
[11:26] <morphix> oh he left
[11:26] <golanx> Madpilot: tbh, I think that it is an unuseful page (in that form)
[11:26] <morphix> meh
[11:26] <golanx> in the future: who is in charge of it?
[11:26] <munti78> using ssh what is the best way to edit a text file on remote server?
[11:26] <golanx> I mean, 4 the future: who is in charge of it?
[11:27] <bluewater1000> golanx:  you are now in charge of it,, what ever it , is
[11:27] <munti78> anyone?
[11:27] <crimsun> munti78: "best"?
[11:27] <Madpilot> golanx, webmaster@ubuntu.com should work
[11:27] <golanx> bluewater1000: don't waste words
[11:28] <golanx> Madpilot: thanks
[11:28] <crimsun> munti78: if you use ssh, your cli editors are a good start, like vim, emacs, joe, nano, etc.
[11:28] <munti78> crimsun: or, can I edit a textfile in a terminal while working with ssh and on remote server
[11:28] <Frogzoo> ok, I have kismet working with my ipw2200, but ethereal doesn't see the eth1 interface, how to fix please?
[11:28] <crimsun> Frogzoo: is ipw2200 eth1?
[11:29] <Frogzoo> crimsun: indeed!
[11:29] <crimsun> Frogzoo: then select it in ethereal's configuration
[11:29] <Dr_J> ill try the ip tables then thanks..
[11:29] <munti78> crimsun: thanks
[11:29] <Frogzoo> crimsun: ah, didn't realise ethereal _had_ a config - will look, thx
[11:29] <Toma-> Dr_J, firestarter might be a good app if you dont understand IPtables
[11:30] <Emperor> i am glad, that i am back on breezy again, i used dapper for 2 weeks
[11:31] <Emperor> great feature's, annonying bugs. but he, its beta :)
[11:31] <narzy> this is just irritating
[11:31] <narzy> I mean I know I was the one who screwed it up.
[11:31] <narzy> but for god sakes atleast work when I try to fix it.
[11:31] <narzy> god damn esp print pro software
[11:31] <narzy> the thing is a peice of shit
[11:32] <Toma-> narzy, so whats the question?
[11:33] <tharglet> build_gpt [11:33] <tharglet> /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgdbm
[11:33] <tharglet> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
[11:33] <tharglet> That sound important to fix or not :P
[11:33] <Emperor> ldconfig should do the trick i guess
[11:33] <Emperor> if not, apt-get it :)
[11:34] <Psykus> can anyone suggest a good playstation emulator for linux? i tried both epsxe and pcsx, but they kept crashing when I was trying to configure them
[11:34] <Toma-> Psykus, theyll do that. epsxe is the best, imho.
[11:36] <morphix> hmm anyone familar with installed SlimServer on ubuntu?
[11:36] <Frogzoo> crimsun: if I look in ethereal -> prefs -> capture -> interfaces  - there's no entry for eth1 so what next?
[11:36] <morphix> i seem to have as much as luck as trying to run on water
[11:36] <rem_> ok  I found it, its just there wasnt any virus just worms .. :P
[11:36] <Psykus> i did get epsxe running, but it was going way too fast with the game I was trying to play, and since the configure menu wasn't working, I couldn't fix it
[11:36] <hondadarrell_> can anyone tell me how to navigate to the desktop using root terminal?
[11:36] <crimsun> Frogzoo: are you using it currently with kismet?
[11:36] <Frogzoo> crimsun: nope ;)
[11:36] <ubuntu> hi
[11:36] <crimsun> tharglet: then you need libgdbm-dev
[11:37] <crimsun> Frogzoo: it is out of promis mode?
[11:37] <aztek> how do i get a piece of hardware to use a different driver than the one it is currently using?
[11:37] <KenzoIX> hi everyone
[11:37] <Frogzoo> crimsun: thought promi was required - turning it off right now
[11:37] <narzy> Toma my printer refuses to work
[11:37] <KenzoIX> i've just installed ubuntu :D
[11:37] <KenzoIX> now i've so much question
[11:37] <Sevaen> hi people..
[11:37] <crimsun> Frogzoo: ethereal will handle putting it into promis
[11:38] <danboid> is there such a repos. as breezy-extras?
[11:38] <rem_> honda, just go to /home/user/Desktop/ .
[11:38] <KenzoIX> 1st...when i insert a CD
[11:38] <KenzoIX> how can I eject it?
[11:38] <Sevaen> I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to lock the desktop background so it cant be changed? Or by locking out the rightclick option perhaps?
[11:38] <rem_> u can add an applet in the toolbar for that or you can umount /media/cdrom and then eject it ..
[11:38] <Psykus> Toma, what graphics plugin did you use?
[11:38] <narzy> and in the process of trying to make it work, I fucked things up
[11:38] <rem_> kenz
[11:39] <narzy> now I can't fix it.
[11:39] <variant> lo all, i just compiled the rt2750 kernel module for my belkin usb wireless adaptor.. it seems to work and i can modprobe it. iwconfig shows a device with wireless extensions etc but when i run the network configuration from the menu the system virtualy hangs.. top shows ifconfig with a cpu usage of 99%.. anyone got any idea what that might be?
[11:39] <narzy> and I'm screwed!
[11:39] <J_element> it didnt work
[11:39] <J_element> it didnt accept the .inf file :S
[11:39] <J_element> what now :S
[11:39] <variant> and i can't kill ifconfig and logging out (ctrl alt backspace) does not kill the program either
[11:39] <rem_> brb
[11:40] <variant> J_element: what you trying to do?
[11:40] <Toma-> Psykus, its been a while, but the opengl one
[11:40] <J_element> install a DLINK Dwl G122
[11:40] <narzy> when in doubt reinstall...
[11:40] <variant> J_element: with ndiswrapper?
[11:40] <J_element> i used ndiswrapper to install its windows driver
[11:40] <narzy> gawd damn it!
[11:40] <J_element> yet it didnt work
[11:40] <J_element> yes
[11:40] <danboid> whilst desktop wallpaper is being discussed, is there a wallpaper switcher for GNOME similar to KDE's?
[11:40] <variant> J_element: did you use the right driver?
[11:40] <J_element> yes
[11:40] <Frogzoo> crimsun: ah - didn't realise I needed to ifconfig as well as iwconfig - right as rain now, much thanks!
[11:41] <Toma-> narzy, what did you do to break it?
[11:41] <J_element> i got it from the dlink web
[11:41] <crimsun> Frogzoo: np
[11:41] <linuxboyfriend> !oracle
[11:41] <ubotu> I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, linuxboyfriend
[11:41] <tharglet> crimsun, tis installing the package :)
[11:41] <variant> J_element: the the windowsXP driver on the cd
[11:41] <Toma-> narzy, openup a webbrowser and run http://localhost:631/
[11:41] <J_element> yeah
[11:41] <J_element> same one ...
[11:41] <KenzoIX> hey guy.....how can I eject the cd driver?
[11:41] <action09> hi fellows
[11:41] <narzy> toma, I deleted my cups dir
[11:41] <variant> J_element: different version
[11:41] <aztek> how do i tell which driver a piece of hardware loaded?
[11:41] <Toma-> narzy, why?
[11:41] <variant> aztek: dmesg
[11:41] <action09> KenzoIX apt-get install eject and eject /dev/hdd
[11:42] <J_element> dont think so
[11:42] <variant> J_element: it very probably is
[11:42] <narzy> cause I was trying to remove the broken packages to reinstall them
[11:42] <KenzoIX> thx man....i'll try it
[11:42] <narzy> because synaptic can't fix them, or reinstall them
[11:42] <Toma-> narzy, thats silly.
[11:42] <narzy> well I done screwed it up real good then
[11:42] <Toma-> narzy, wildly deleteing things doesnt work on linux
[11:43] <bluewater1000>  narzy: try apt-get --purge remove <packagename>
[11:43] <action09> anybody know how can i restart vino server please, it use 99% of CPU.. i can't find a link in /etc/init.d
[11:43] <action09> please
[11:43] <narzy> I've noticed toma
[11:43] <Toma-> narzy, ok.
[11:43] <narzy> but I was trying to get rid of ESP Print Pro
[11:43] <narzy> cause it wasn't working for me
[11:43] <variant> action09: ps auz | grep vino and use the pid to kill -9
[11:43] <narzy> and it said to delete XYZ to remove it
[11:44] <narzy> so I did, and now it's AFU
[11:44] <variant> action09: ps aux*
[11:44] <Toma-> !enter
[11:44] <ubotu> please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying. Write in complete sentences and keep your replies and questions on one line if possible. Thanks!
[11:44] <Psykus> Toma-, I notice when I launch it from a console, it says "cfgPeteMesaGL not found" when I try to configure the video plugin
[11:44] <Toma-> Psykus, have you installed that plugin?
[11:44] <narzy> sorry, I get to the end of my text line and do it by default
[11:44] <Psykus> yes
[11:44] <pcdog> hi
[11:44] <Toma-> narzy, what exactly if ESP print pro?
[11:44] <Psykus> it shows up in the plugin list
[11:45] <narzy> http://www.easysw.com/index.php
[11:45] <pcdog> do you know what is up with seveas?
[11:45] <Toma-> pcdog, the repo?
[11:45] <aztek> how do i get my wifi card to stop using the acx driver and load the ndiswrapper?
[11:45] <Toma-> or the operator :D
[11:45] <pcdog> Toma-, the repos ;)
[11:45] <narzy> It's software ment to allow the easy administration of printers in *nix
[11:45] <danboid> is lxdvdrip in any of the breezy repositories?
[11:45] <pcdog> i will host him if he has no server ;;)
[11:45] <pcdog> *need that repo* ;)
[11:45] <crimsun> danboid: search
[11:45] <narzy> think of it as an *upgrade?* to cups.
[11:45] <Toma-> pcdog, the main server goes off and on like the sun. try using one of the mirrors
[11:46] <pcdog> ok
[11:46] <Toma-> narzy, ha.
[11:46] <pcdog> only wantet to ask if he needs new hoster ;)
[11:46] <tharglet> Toma-, I hope the sun doesn't go on and off....
[11:46] <Toma-> narzy, email them and ask them
[11:46] <narzy> craptastic
[11:46] <narzy> I'll just reinstall ubuntu
[11:46] <Ng> pcdog: randomly hosted repositories suck, there's nothing super important in there anyway
[11:46] <danboid> crimsun: according to ubuntu.packages site, no, but this is why i was asking about breezy-extras, which isn't listed as a search option on that site
[11:46] <Toma-> narzy, its Buy-ware. ive got no idea about it
[11:46] <narzy> or go back to windoze because atleast then it will work.
[11:47] <Psykus> getting an error, "libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" , do I need to install a specific package to get it?
[11:47] <Toma-> narzy, cups is simple. real simple.
[11:47] <Psykus> this is when trying to use epsxe
[11:47] <narzy> this all started when I tried to use an unsupported network printer connected to Jet Direct. it's an HP Color LaserJet 1500L
[11:48] <pcdog> Ng, i know. it was only an idea :)
[11:48] <di> !avi
[11:48] <ubotu> avi is, like, Video for Windows. For more info http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[11:49] <Toma-> Psykus, right now, im running "apt-file search libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3" its returned "libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2" meaning you want that package... apt-file is a great tool ;)
[11:49] <danboid> ok, if breezy-extras doesn't exist, how well does marillat work with breezy?
[11:49] <Toma-> danboid, it doesnt.
[11:49] <Psykus> ah ok, thanks :D
[11:50] <danboid> toma: is there such a thing as breezy-extras (or a ubuntu repos. with marillat like packages)
[11:50] <Toma-> danboid, lots. PLF and seveas are a couple
[11:50] <di> help, my avis have no sound in totem (but they have sound in firefox-goolgle video)
[11:51] <Toma-> ubotu, tell danboid about plf
[11:51] <Toma-> ubotu, tell danboid about seveas
[11:51] <Seveas> Toma-, no way, I am not associated with plf at all
[11:51] <narzy> is there a guide for the "perfect" ubuntu setup?
[11:51] <Toma-> hahaha :D
[11:51] <narzy> yeah, I'm a comedian
[11:52] <narzy> oh well I needed to repartition this thing anyways
[11:52] <Toma-> Seveas, i heard u 2 danced at the school formal
[11:52] <narzy> I made the swap partition WAY too small
[11:52] <di> help, my avis have no sound in totem (but they have sound in firefox-goolgle video)
[11:52] <di> w32codecs is the newest version
[11:52] <Toma-> narzy, not larfing at u :/ well re-install and we'll see if we can get this hp 1500L working
[11:52] <Shoo-shu> hey guys, i am currently dling the new ubuntu program, i havent done this before, but i know how to use linux, i have all my programs and files on here, should i back up??? also i am currently using xp will i lose all my files if i install ubuntu or will i still be able to get my files???
[11:52] <Protocol1> my swap is like 550mb
[11:53] <Ng> Shoo-shu: you should definitely back up your stuff before you install. The installer should be able to resize your existing disk partitions so you can have xp and ubuntu installed
[11:53] <narzy> alright toma, I really appreciate it, I've been working on this issue for a few days now, and I'm starting to loose my hair...
[11:53] <elkbuntu> my swap is like 3.5 gig :P
[11:53] <narzy> and it's long stoner hair, and I like my hair...
[11:54] <narzy> drugs would kick ass right now...
[11:54] <narzy> but alas I need my brains
[11:54] <di> w32codecs is the newest version
[11:54] <di> w32codecs is the newest version
[11:54] <di> oops sorry
[11:54] <Toma-> narzy, hang tight a moment, i think im onto something
[11:54] <J_element> variant, its still not working
[11:54] <Shoo-shu> so, when i install it, i will have both on my computer and i can choose which one i want to run eveytime i turn on my laptop???
[11:54] <J_element> i got the exact version
[11:55] <narzy-> I hate being such a newb
[11:55] <narzy-> in the windows and mac world I am an OS gawd
[11:55] <narzy-> but in linux, I'm a puppy with it's tail 'tween it's legs
[11:55] <Toma-> narzy, linux world = the real world ;D
[11:55] <narzy> sorry bout the <enter> thing again....
[11:56] <narzy> I know, I've been living under a rock...
[11:57] <Toma-> narzy, http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi?make=HP
[11:57] <di> help, my avis have no sound
[11:57] <Toma-> is your printer somewhere there? or is it a brand spanking new one?
[11:57] <Toma-> di, tried totem-xine?
[11:57] <di> trying now
[11:58] <di> totem-xine is already the newest version.
[11:58] <Toma-> ok
[11:58] <Toma-> tried mplayer?
[11:58] <Toma-> wait a sec
[11:58] <di> Toma- yes
[11:58] <Toma-> di, run "file filename.avi"
[11:58] <di> Toma- w32codecs too
[11:58] <hondadarrell_> can anyone tell me how to navigate to the desktop using root terminal?
[11:59] <di> ../SupermanVersustheGia.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI
[11:59] <Toma-> hmmm
[11:59] <Ng> hondadarrell_: if you mean your desktop, /home/yourusername/Desktop/
[11:59] <Tatey> hondadarrell_: /home/<your username>/Desktop
[11:59] <hondadarrell_> but whats the command in root terminal?
[12:00] <Tatey> cd
[12:00] <Toma-> cd ~/Desktop
[12:00] <di> SupermanVersustheGia.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI
[12:00] <di> ya
[12:01] <Toma-> di, still thinking
[12:01] <Toma-> try mplayer
[12:01] <di> tried
[12:01] <Toma-> no luck?
[12:01] <Tatey> Actually, I have a question of my own. I can't seem to find any information about it anywhere. With the Gnome Panel and Window list, is it possible to fix the size of each button rather than expand all the way across the window list?
[12:01] <narzy> on the up side, I'm learning more about printers then I ever really wanted to know
[12:02] <Toma-> narzy, lol :D
[12:02] <narzy> tatey, I have no clue what your talking about so I don't think I could help you :(
[12:02] <di> Toma-: yes, lots of it.
[12:02] <narzy> Toma-, I'm sad now...
[12:02] <di> Toma-: i closed google video
[12:02] <di> and tada!
[12:02] <tharglet> *sigh* Under Windows u can spend 1/2 hour fiddling and u either fix it or u can't. In Linux it can be a lot longer and u still don't reach a conclusion
[12:03] <narzy> ewww, my CD is half way done!
[12:03] <di> it was blocking the soundcard
[12:03] <di> how do i stop it from doing that?
[12:03] <narzy> I'm gonna go smoke
[12:03] <Toma-> di, thats kinda tricky.
[12:03] <Hobbsee> tharglet: i dont see your question - what was it?
[12:03] <Ng> tharglet: well you won't reach a conclusion if you just complain and don't ask us to help ;)
[12:04] <Fable> is there an apt-get for nvidia drivers
[12:04] <Toma-> di, it involves aoss, dmix and a alot of patience.
[12:04] <tharglet> lol, sorry, wasn't meant to be offensive. I'm just gettting mighty bored of watching a large program make :D
[12:04] <Ng> !tell Fable about nvidia
[12:04] <Toma-> brb
[12:04] <Ng> tharglet: what are you compiling?
[12:04] <action09> variant  yes i'm dumb :( thx anyway :)
[12:04] <action09> variant it's ok
[12:05] <di> Toma-: i've never heard of those things.
[12:05] <tharglet> Ng - Globus
[12:06] <Tatey> narzy-brb: Basically, I come from a KDE background, and I've never been happy with the behaviour of the window list in Gnome Panel. I'd like to know if it's possible to make it behave more like KDE or Windows in the fact that the buttons are fixed rather than variable
[12:06] <Hobbsee> tharglet: try compiling the entire koffice, if you get bored :P  what are you making?
[12:06] <tharglet> Hobbsee, grid software, called Globus
[12:07] <scav> anyone know a good tool to administer users to see what processes they are running etc?
[12:07] <Hobbsee> tharglet: ah ok, i missed that
[12:07] <Ng> tharglet: so pretty specialised stuff
[12:07] <Hobbsee> scav: top?
[12:07] <theine> tharglet: is that actually available for Windows?
[12:07] <scav> Hobbsee: there are others that can administer more in details
[12:08] <scav> as far as i know
[12:08] <heyjoe> This is the very first time I've used any linux distributions at all so I was wondering if someone could give me a newbie friendly explanation as to how to get ubuntu to recognize my lg flatron L1510S monitor.
[12:08] <tharglet> Ng - Yeah, kinda, but at this stage I'm only gonna be running a demo... but it's taking forever to sort it
[12:08] <delmar> ffs. Grub loading stage1.5 - Grub loading, please wait.... Error 15.
[12:08] <Hobbsee> scav: ah ok, i'm not sure
[12:08] <delmar> why the hell wont this slutty thing install.
[12:08] <CarinArr> o.O
[12:08] <tharglet> theine, Umm, not sure if there is a windows version, but I talked to some ppl about it n they said the ver. I'm installing is the bestfor me
[12:09] <drezha> any idea how to close X server so I can install these nVidia drivers so Ubuntu 64 will allow me to use 1280x1024 res?
[12:09] <heyjoe> screen "out of range".
[12:09] <Fable> is there a reason y i can search using google and get the resaults and not be able to goto ubuntuforums.org
[12:09] <Ng> tharglet: oh well. I'm not really sure why grid computing needs to be easy to set up - the kind of people who will be using it will be specialists not afraid of a bit of compiling
[12:09] <heyjoe> is the error message i get
[12:09] <Toma-> drezha, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" then "killall X"
[12:09] <Toma-> should bring it too its knees
[12:09] <Toma-> -o
[12:09] <tharglet> Ng - no such thing as making things easy for oneself then :P
[12:10] <drezha> cheers. Will that drop me into a termianl?
[12:10] <delmar> Anyone know why I can't install latest ubuntu to a 200g sata? Grub is being such a wank.
[12:10] <Toma-> drezha, id say so
[12:10] <drezha> cheers
[12:10] <snowblink> delmar, language
[12:10] <ompaul> scav, you can run system accounting (/me forgets how since clock cycles became cheap), ps awux, top will give snapshots
[12:10] <delmar> snowblink, english :P
[12:10] <Toma-> drezha, its a good idea to get irssi before cutting yourself off from here :D
[12:10] <snowblink> delmar, watch your language
[12:10] <crimsun> tharglet: those of us who research grid computing would much rather not be bothered with having to compile constantly. Trust me.
[12:10] <delmar> snowblink :P
[12:10] <di> thanks Toma-
[12:10] <di> lol
[12:11] <Toma-> di, np.
[12:11] <ompaul> delmar, lets do this again, bad language warning
[12:11] <twa1296> how do i find out which xorg version i'm running?
[12:11] <delmar> ompaul, oh for pete sakes. I saw it twice, YOU can butt out.
[12:11] <Toma-> twa1296, X -version
[12:11] <ompaul> delmar, ehh no, we don't tolerate it, rather simple
[12:12] <delmar> ompaul, right. and if I hadn't got the message there would be colors, so dry up.
[12:12] <Ng> crimsun: globus appears to provide tools for packaging and distributing grid applications
[12:12] <twa1296> Toma, thanks
[12:12] <Toma-> delmar, #ubuntu+1 for dapper support.... if thats what you mean by "latest"
[12:13] <Toma-> twa1296, np
[12:13] <crimsun> Ng: among other things, yes.
[12:13] <crimsun> Ng: both a toolkit and an API
[12:13] <tharglet> crimsun, Yeah... I was/am considering doing something with grid... at least my installing seems to be behaving now
[12:13] <delmar> thanks Toma-, im new to ubuntu, its breezy I believe.
[12:13] <delmar> so not latest desting/unstable or whatever flavor.
[12:14] <Toma-> rightio
[12:14] <delmar> im just trying to get my install to fire up. ive tried 3 times, manually partitioned it this time with a 50mb /boot and so on...and the final stage of the install did the grub hd0 thing.. rebooted... then pow... I just get this message...
[12:14] <delmar> Grub loading stage1.5 - Grub loading, please wait.... Error 15.
[12:14] <tharglet> One day prehaps I'll unlazy and make my system dual boot instead of VMWaring it...
[12:14] <Toma-> delmar, id say grub is setting up your harddrive in the wrong order
[12:15] <delmar> Toma-, i let it do auto and it didnt work either.. manually.. still no good.
[12:15] <delmar> <---- very grumpy
[12:16] <tharglet> I miss progress bars :(
[12:16] <ompaul> delmar, is it getting the whole way through the install or just not talking to it at all?
[12:16] <Toma-> delmar, guess what.... your /boot decision was a bad one...
[12:17] <delmar> ompaul, yeah the install goes great.... its the reboot.
[12:17] <delmar> Toma-, ok.. well i had to try it.
[12:17] <Toma-> or your grub config isnt seeing the /boot
[12:17] <Toma-> only gentoo'ers use /boot, imho :D
[12:17] <delmar> Toma-, actually it worked better.. like.. it automatically did something with Grub and HD0 and didnt ask me anything.. whereas .. previus attempts.. I got a page asking me where to put the MBR and stuff...
[12:17] <ompaul> delmar, seen that once or twice, suggest you have a look at these wiki.ubuntu.com/BootOptions wiki.ubuntu.com/PaulsKludge
[12:18] <action09> KenzoIX did eject worked ?
[12:18] <Toma-> delmar, basically, error 15 means your kernel isnt found. meaning grubs looking in the wrong spot
[12:18] <heyjoe1> can anyone help me with configuring an lg monitor for ubuntu?
[12:18] <delmar> Toma-, ok
[12:18] <Ng> Toma-: eh?
[12:18] <Ng> Toma-: I always use a /boot/
[12:18] <ompaul> delmar, I am an advocate of the two step install, but that will be obvious
[12:19] <Toma-> Ng, and you have an SATA drive?
[12:19] <Ng> Toma-: SATA, PATA, SCSI, hardware RAID, whatever. I always do it
[12:19] <delmar> ompaul, ok ill try auto again.. see if maybe the first time was something wierd going on.
[12:19] <Toma-> Ng, well help delmar then :)
[12:19] <Ng> Toma-: it's one of the easiest ways to make sure you can boot
[12:19] <ompaul> delmar, na I would two step it do a "server" only and then onwards
[12:20] <delmar> the trouble is, i dont really wanna let it do everything auto, because i need to setup the partitions to alow a winxp boot for my games. (cedega sux bad).
[12:20] <delmar> server only u reckon?
[12:20] <Toma-> delmar, dual-booting is easy as pie to setup while in ubuntu.
[12:20] <Toma-> just let grub to its work automagically
[12:21] <delmar> Toma-, yeah but it will allocate the drive all messed up :(
[12:21] <ompaul> so install windows on the drive first (may I be forgiven for writing that word) and then do a server and then sit a desktop on it seems to sort out some issues
[12:21] <ompaul> delmar, ^^^
[12:21] <hatake_kakashi> which is why installing windows first is better because it would be a bit of a pain later on to setup GRUB/LILO to boot either one of thsoe
[12:21] <hatake_kakashi> s/thsoe/those
[12:21] <nornagon> Argh.
[12:21] <nornagon> Installing breezy on a laptop (http://tinyurl.com/qfbo4)
[12:21] <Toma-> *sigh*
[12:21] <nornagon> install looks *great*
[12:22] <ompaul> hatake_kakashi, cos it kills grub if it goes on last
[12:22] <nornagon> but then when I boot
[12:22] <nornagon> the kernel OOPSes
[12:22] <delmar> ok. mega tired here.. not slept in over 20hrs... ill try some stuff here again but i should probably get to bed.
[12:22] <ompaul> hatake_kakashi, so if you have a choice that should be it
[12:22] <DJ_tobias> would anybody know why when i disable my onboard video and plugin my nvidia pci card my wireless connection just WONT connect ?
[12:22] <hatake_kakashi> ompaul: that's correct, or you can do away with dd, etc :)
[12:22] <redblade> Hi
[12:22] <nornagon> Process modprobe (pid: 4383, threadinfo=...)
[12:22] <redblade> What is the mysql called in the repos?
[12:22] <hatake_kakashi> DJ_tobias: disabling onboard video = BIOS settings, not OS issue
[12:22] <nornagon> then proceeds to give stack dump and call trace
[12:22] <Toma-> nornagon, tried booting in recovery mode?
[12:22] <ompaul> hatake_kakashi, if your talking to someone who is having problems with an install dd is most likely not their friend as they will not be in a position to execute it
[12:23] <hatake_kakashi> redblade: apt-cache search sql
[12:23] <morphix> fkn
[12:23] <hatake_kakashi> ompaul: heh
[12:23] <redblade> thank ye
[12:23] <nornagon> Toma-: nope... it hasn't even booted normally once :(
[12:23] <redblade> lol
[12:23] <heyjoe1> i get an error message that says "screen out of range" when trying to run linux, which does not occur in win2000. anyone know what this is about or how to solve it?
[12:23] <morphix> anyone here tried to install SlimDevices SlimServer ?
[12:23] <Toma-> nornagon, ok. can you get to grub?
[12:23] <nornagon> Toma-: btw, this is a serve rinstall
[12:23] <nornagon> Toma-: sure
[12:23] <hatake_kakashi> heyjoe1: at CD/DVD boot?
[12:23] <DJ_tobias> hatake_kakashi i know that but.. why is it that when my pci card is in, ndiswrapper/wlan0 wont connect ?
[12:23] <theine> redblade: there are mysql-client and mysql-server
[12:23] <nornagon> (also, at the end of the call trace i get <3>hw_random: RNG not detected)
[12:23] <Toma-> nornagon, there should be a recovery mode boot option in grub
[12:23] <redblade> k
[12:24] <Emperor> heyjoe1, seems that your resolution is to hight in linux. When you are fully booted, try ctrl+alt+backspace so you have a console to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf with vi
[12:24] <delmar> Yeah its allocated like.. all but 3.1gigs to / and the 3.1 to swap. :(
[12:24] <Toma-> nornagon, itll probably say a bunch of stuff about loading, but write down/copy the error that it fails on
[12:24] <hatake_kakashi> DJ_tobias: it could be shared IRQ, check motherboard manual + lspci
[12:24] <Toma-> delmar, thats the disk partitioner, not grub.
[12:25] <nornagon> Toma-: okay...
[12:25] <delmar> sure.. but lets see if grub bombs again
[12:25] <nornagon> ah
[12:25] <nornagon> it says missing kernel or user mode driver hw_random
[12:25] <nornagon> and then sits there
[12:25] <delmar> if grub is happy.. great.. but now my partitioning is lame.
[12:25] <Toma-> hmm
[12:25] <nornagon> it oopses
[12:25] <nornagon> too
[12:25] <nornagon> same as before
[12:25] <nornagon> but with more info
[12:25] <Toma-> delmar, partitioning has nothing to do with grub
[12:25] <nornagon> hm
[12:26] <Toma-> !enter
[12:26] <ubotu> please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying. Write in complete sentences and keep your replies and questions on one line if possible. Thanks!
[12:26] <delmar> dude i know this
[12:26] <DJ_tobias> hatake_kakashi in lspci it doesnt look like a shared irq
[12:26] <nornagon> "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000"
[12:26] <nornagon> printing eip: f8b0b5b1
[12:26] <nornagon> *pde = 00000000
[12:26] <Toma-> ahhh i gotta go
[12:26] <ompaul>  nornagon don't paste large pieces of text here - use paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[12:26] <nornagon> Oops: 0002 [#1] 
[12:26] <Toma-> sorry
[12:26] <hatake_kakashi> DJ_tobias: it won't show up if its a shared IRQ conflict, all it does is it shows what hardware has it detected on PCI slots
[12:26] <nornagon> Toma-: :(
[12:26] <delmar> I have also tried manually making a 10gig 1st partition... plus a swap... goes fine..reboot.. grub fails.
[12:26] <Toma-> :/
[12:27] <DJ_tobias> hatake_kakashi so if they both show up in lspci then thats not the problem?
[12:27] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: do you have more than one hard disk?
[12:27] <hatake_kakashi> DJ_tobias: generally, yes
[12:27] <DJ_tobias> hatake_kakashi what else could be the problem?
[12:27] <ompaul> delmar, sleep 8 hours and give it a shot in the am with the method I suggested, we will most likely still be here in the morning :0
[12:27] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, uh. bugger.
[12:27] <delmar> ompaul, hatake_kakashi just hit it on the head
[12:27] <nornagon> hm
[12:28] <nornagon> just before the null pointer dereference error
[12:28] <ompaul> delmar, tell me your drives are not on cable select
[12:28] <nornagon> it says:
[12:28] <ompaul> nornagon, use pastebin
[12:28] <hatake_kakashi> DJ_tobias: again, you may need to consult with the motherboard manual + those PCI cards that are conlicting manuals?
[12:28] <delmar> grub is installing mbr info on another drive.. there is a spare IDE disk with data on it.
[12:28] <delmar> thats gotta be it
[12:28] <delmar> surely
[12:28] <nornagon> hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC880, trying to auto-probe from BIOS...
[12:28] <DJ_tobias> hatake_kakashi dont have the motherboard manual
[12:28] <nornagon> ompaul: just typing it out from the other screen....
[12:28] <jose> e
[12:28] <jose> Hola
[12:28] <DJ_tobias> hatake_kakashi if i put the card in a different pci slot would that help?
[12:29] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: I had a fair bit of problem with GRUB being installed on other hard disks, my solution was to plug either one of the two cables attached to the other hard disk. Preferably the data cable.
[12:29] <ompaul> nornagon, type it all in one go on paste.ubuntu-nl.org then the whole problem can be seen in one go
[12:29] <nornagon> ompaul: hm, i guess
[12:29] <hatake_kakashi> DJ_tobias: possibly, you may be able to get your motherboard manual online, go look for your motherboard's manufacturer's website and they should provide you one unless if yours is really outdated
[12:30] <ompaul> delmar, and don't use cable select, I can't count the times I have seen that as a problem
[12:30] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, i will try again now with nothing but the destination drive plugged into the system
[12:30] <delmar> ompaul, yeah bugger that. i never use it.
[12:30] <DJ_tobias> hatake_kakashi if i did get the manual, what would i be looking for?
[12:30] <ompaul> delmar, do youseld a big favour, sleep, and to it in the morning
[12:30] <hatake_kakashi> ompaul: the issue is not just about cable selecting, I have 3 hard disks and installing ubuntu/kubuntu proved nothing but pain until I removed excessive hard disks
[12:30] <nornagon> ah, there's stuff on google it appears...
[12:30] <delmar> ok.. im going to try a manual partition again tho because thats what I need it to do.. last time tho.. then sleep for me.
[12:31] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: that should generally work, I don't see why not now :)
[12:31] <ompaul> hatake_kakashi, I run dedicated to linux boxes only - be it one or four drives :)
[12:31] <hatake_kakashi> DJ_tobias: the motherboard manual will show you a table of which PCI IRQ slots are shared
[12:31] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, its gonna ask me where to put the mbr tho.... i can just say.. hd0 ?
[12:31] <Healot> huh, after some time spending with my Windows modem log, now i figured out the AT commands need for my GPRS cell
[12:32] <ompaul> delmar, the first drive that the bios sees is where it should be] 
[12:32] <ompaul> delmar, cdroms being an exception :)
[12:32] <hatake_kakashi> ompaul: so do I on this box, however, I had two other hard disks full of data but no OS. Whenever I tried installing ubuntu/kubuntu (Hoary) it always go GRUB error until I unplugged extra hard disks, that solved the problem instantly
[12:32] <morphix> expat.h
[12:32] <morphix> eh?
[12:32] <morphix> wtf is that
[12:32] <ompaul> hatake_kakashi, ooch
[12:32] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: if there is only one hard disk, it will only put it there, it won't put it anywhere else
[12:32] <ompaul> morphix, why do you use the enter key, in the place of a comma, I wonder?
[12:33] <morphix> sorry sorry
[12:33] <hatake_kakashi> morphix: most likely a header file, part of C language? expat.h? maybe you are trying to compile something?
[12:33] <tharglet> morphix, A header file... Possibly for expatriots? (ie I have no clue what it is for)
[12:33] <morphix> yes trying to compile something.. but it cant find that file
[12:33] <morphix> and exits
[12:34] <ompaul> Expat is a library, written in C, for parsing XML documents.
[12:34] <hatake_kakashi> morphix: consult if the INSTALL file or any other docs upon extracting the whole archive
[12:34] <hatake_kakashi> s/if/with
[12:34] <hatake_kakashi> hmm
[12:35] <Healot> morphix, http://packages.ubuntu.com/ << figure out the library needed for that compilation
[12:35] <morphix> libexpat1-dev, i'll install that.. see if that fixes it
[12:35] <hatake_kakashi> !info libexpat1-dev
[12:35] <ubotu> libexpat1-dev: (XML parsing C library - development kit), section libdevel, is optional. Version: 1.95.8-3 (breezy), Packaged size: 124 kB, Installed size: 424 kB
[12:35] <ompaul> its in main
[12:37] <morphix> that seemed to have fixed it
[12:37] <hatake_kakashi> morphix: be prepared for more as they come out of 'make' :)
[12:37] <tharglet> Hmm, I want my processor >2.4GHz.... this build taking toooo long
[12:38] <Healot> great job, morphix
[12:38] <tharglet> hatake_kakashi, lol, that's already happened to me in making something this morning
[12:38] <morphix> it all finished and make install worked
[12:38] <hatake_kakashi> tharglet: building what?
[12:38] <morphix> just wasnt sure what package expat.h was from
[12:38] <redblade> I'm trying to mount a CD in cdrom0
[12:38] <hatake_kakashi> tharglet: more or less the same thing with me awhile ago for mplayer :)
[12:38] <tharglet> hatake_kakashi, the various bits I need for globus (grid)
[12:38] <redblade> but it says something about block
[12:38] <hatake_kakashi> tharglet: globus, hmm never heard of it but sounds somewhat interesting
[12:39] <delmar> ok... gona type a little about what im doing... entered partition disks screen... deleted partitions on the drive.. recreated a 10gig primary on / set bootable flag on. created 10gig primary partition, set fat32 (will let windows format it ntfs later) ..set mount point to none. ditto for another 30gig volume. created 146.9gb for /home.. created 3.1gb for swap....
[12:39] <delmar> think i got it all covered...
[12:39] <hatake_kakashi> redblade: paste the full output of the error, if its more than 2 lines paste it at pastebin's site
[12:39] <babo> Hi guys, I'm having crontab woes. I want cron to execute a script that I've written in one of my dirs. I want the script to be able to read some files that are in the same dir. But unfortunately cron applies all references and paths to cron's directory. I want to be able to move the script around so I don't want to use a root path. Is there anyway to get cron to run from a certain directory for one command ?
[12:39] <tharglet> hatake_kakashi, What I'm going to use this install for will be very unintersting :D
[12:39] <redblade> mount: /media/cdrom1 is not a block device
[12:39] <hatake_kakashi> tharglet: ahh heh
[12:40] <Healot> is it a good idea to build Firefox 1.5 from official mozilla source... and depackage it?
[12:40] <theine> tharglet: are you sure that mpi, openmp, or openmosix won't fit your needs?
[12:40] <delmar> kind wish i didnt need that 30gig partition but i need somewhere that is read/writeable to both ubuntu and windowsXP.
[12:40] <Hobbsee> Healot: see !firefox1.5
[12:40] <hatake_kakashi> redblade: cat /etc/fstab| grep cdrom
[12:40] <tharglet> theine, ???
[12:40] <Ng> Healot: it's easier to just use the official ff1.5 binaries
[12:40] <Hobbsee> Healot: if you havent already
[12:40] <diogo> Greetings! How do I know if my sources.list file is ok? In Debian I could just remove it and re-create it with apt-setup, but how can I do that in Ubuntu?
[12:40] <snowblink> babo, cd
[12:40] <Ng> delmar: be aware that writing to ntfs is not a good idea in ubuntu
[12:40] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: EXT2/3 should do the trick :)
[12:40] <babo> can I cd cron ?
[12:40] <Healot> i mean on a 64bit port?
[12:40] <babo> snowblink: can I cd cron ?
[12:40] <snowblink> babo, your first command in the cronjob. cd
[12:41] <delmar> Ng, hence the 30gig communcal partition that will be YUK fat32
[12:41] <delmar> communal*
[12:41] <babo> snowblink: cheers :)
[12:41] <redblade> hatake_kakashi, umount: it seems /dev/hdd is mounted multiple times
[12:41] <theine> tharglet: what applications do you have in mind with globus?
[12:41] <redblade> eject: unmount of `/media/cdrom0' failed
[12:41] <delmar> meh. partition they can both write/read to/from
[12:41] <Healot> well, the 32bit us fine... got some issues with 64bit...
[12:41] <redblade> I can't get the CD out!!!
[12:41] <Healot> !firefox1.5
[12:41] <ubotu> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
[12:41] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: eww. with 4GB single filesize limit.. heh suit yourself :)
[12:41] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, yeah ext3 for ubuntu, ntfs for XP, and fat32 in the middle.
[12:41] <tharglet> nooooo a build just failed :(... possibly quite badl
[12:41] <tharglet> *badly
[12:42] <heyjoe1> sorry that ive already asked this question before, but im a newbie trying to configure my lg monitor to ubuntu. i get an error message that says "out of range" please save me from microsoft
[12:42] <narzy-> you have to be kidding me! not the stuck install BS again!
[12:42] <redblade> /dev/hdd        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[12:42] <redblade> /dev/hdc        /media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[12:42] <narzy-> the bad news just keeps comming!
[12:42] <babo> snowblink: one more question ... this should output to stdout right ?  37 0 * * * ./posting_script work >1
[12:42] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, i have no choice... WindowsXP is hopeless and wont read ext3, xfs, reiserfs or anything decent... let alone write to it... and Linux wont write to ntfs unless you want a busted ntfs file system
[12:42] <delmar> so im stuck :P
[12:42] <hatake_kakashi> redblade: no no, that's the output for how many cdroms and their mount points.
[12:42] <delmar> unless someone has another idea?
[12:43] <Ng> Healot: I came across a thread on ubuntuforums yesterday about using the linux32 package to run the 32bit ff1.5 binaries. seems to work pretty well and lets you use plugins and stuff
[12:43] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: I beg to differ... try fs-driver.org or something, there is module for XP to read EXT2 :)
[12:43] <theine> tharglet: what's the error message?
[12:43] <redblade> hatake_kakashi, I can't get the CD out!
[12:43] <redblade> I need help!!!
[12:43] <tharglet> theine, client.c:233: error: incompatible type for argument 2 of connect - ie code error
[12:43] <delmar> hatake_kakashi and write.. reliably?
[12:43] <hatake_kakashi> redblade: try eject /dev/hdd as root.. so it would be 'sudo eject /dev/hdd'
[12:43] <snowblink> babo, that outputs to a file named 1.
[12:43] <Healot> i love to make it native, no chroot...
[12:44] <delmar> I need a volume that can be written to by both.
[12:44] <Healot> well as I said, i really have no problem with the 32bit
[12:44] <redblade> YAY!
[12:44] <redblade> got it!
[12:44] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: well, probably better than what windows can write with their NTFS natively :) if I'm mistaken, I will know that later because I'm planning to migrate large amounts of data from NTFS to EXT3 :)
[12:45] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, i WAS going to move all my movies and such to ext3, perhaps LVM and fun stuff... but...
[12:45] <redblade> Okay, I'm trying to get a LAMP serevr up and running.
[12:45] <diogo> Help! aptitude search j2re shows j2re1.4 as a virtual package (v) but aptitude install j2re1.4 says theres no candidate!
[12:45] <tharglet> ah, g2g
[12:45] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, i decided cedega sucked and im gonna keep a windows boot anyway....
[12:45] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: ahh you have LVM and such.. heh I don't have that sort of setup just yet.. I'm hanging those data tight until I can afford expensive setup
[12:45] <redblade> Which MySQL package will I need?
[12:45] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, if winXP can read/write to ext2 that might do, but ext3 would be just to awesome
[12:46] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, no i dont have LVM yet.. was considering it if I converted away from ntfs on all my drives
[12:46] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: well, with that extra driver, you can write to EXT3 however it just does not do up the journalling part
[12:46] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: ahh
[12:46] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, sounds dangerous....
[12:46] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, not sure i want microsoft anywhere near my ext3 partitions :P
[12:47] <benievlatlikal> hi people what country is this server belong to ?
[12:47] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, so what happens when linux boots up and finds some rogue piece of filth has been writing data to the volume and there is no journal entry?
[12:47] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: well, I'd probably be willing to give it a shot. Seeing as how I don't trust NTFS in anyway shape or form. FAT32 has large single filesize limitations so that is another no-no for me
[12:47] <benievlatlikal> can anyone tell me that
[12:47] <JohnFlux> Hey all
[12:48] <delmar> wouldn't it try to "repair" it?
[12:48] <ompaul> benievlatlikal, all over the world
[12:48] <ompaul> benievlatlikal, many servers
[12:48] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, what do u have that i larger than 4gig? database?
[12:48] <JohnFlux> does ubuntu watch mii-tool to see when the link changes, then restart dhclient?
[12:48] <benievlatlikal> next came u where are you from ?
[12:48] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: well, that's what I'd probably be looking into to find out, however if I'm in windows most of the time, I'd probably have data later transferred onto linux partitions when I get back onto linux :)
[12:49] <JohnFlux> where can I file a wish for this?
[12:49] <ompaul> benievlatlikal, that has nothing to do with help on Ubuntu, please move to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks
[12:49] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: large images ;) I mean really large. Plus I have this pdb thing as well
[12:49] <babo> snowblink: ok ... I give up ... it gets automatically redirected to stdout right  ?
[12:50] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: I usually like to keep DVD sized images on my hard disks :)
[12:50] <diogo> Ive just tried another mirror, but still no j2re1.4 available...
[12:50] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: its under multiverse
[12:50] <Healot> it's compiling well, no missing libs etc... all I have to do is wait right? should i overwrite the prior firefox installation?
[12:50] <Ng> diogo: the RestrictedFormats wiki page covers installing Sun's Java 1.5 which is a much better plan generally
[12:50] <morphix> hmm
[12:50] <Healot> the firefox 1.5
[12:51] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, yep. in that case.. 4gig limit is just shy... pain in the butt.
[12:51] <morphix> i need to stop asking Q's which i can google for
[12:51] <Healot> yeah, morphix :)
[12:51] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: shouldnt 'deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-backports main restricted universe multiverse' in my sources.list do it?
[12:51] <heyjoe1> can someone please help me. sorry that ive already asked this question before, but im a newbie trying to configure my lg monitor to ubuntu. i get an error message that says "out of range" please save me from microsoft
[12:51] <morphix> but u ppl seem to answer it better than google
[12:51] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: more or less an eyesore for me, but if it suits you, that's fine by me as well
[12:51] <morphix> lol
[12:51] <diogo> Ng: Ive tried that also, but theres also no 'java-package' available... :'(
[12:51] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: hmm not too sure about breezy-backports
[12:51] <Ng> diogo: it's in multiverse
[12:52] <Ng> !tell diogo about repositories
[12:52] <hatake_kakashi> morphix: because we are humans :P
[12:52] <hatake_kakashi> except for a few bots here and there :p
[12:52] <Ng> diogo: it does say on the page to enable the other repositories :)
[12:52] <Healot> morphix, google is machine, we are real humans?
[12:52] <Healot> or maybe not, I am a dog haha
[12:52] <ompaul> hatake_kakashi, speak for yourself people keep saying I am a bot! :-)
[12:52] <hatake_kakashi> ompaul: heh
[12:52] <hatake_kakashi> !bot
[12:52] <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 except #debian-bots.
[12:52] <hatake_kakashi> :)
[12:52] <ompaul> ohh so it is not me then
[12:53] <diogo> Ng: I know, Ive uncommented every repository entry in my sources.list, but still no luck...
[12:53] <ompaul> lets get back on topic
[12:53] <benievlatlikal> ompaul where are you from
[12:53] <snowblink> babo, if it's a cronjob, stdout should get mailed to whoever's crontab that is
[12:53] <benievlatlikal> ompaul where are you from ??
[12:53] <hatake_kakashi> ompaul: yup
[12:53] <morphix> well.. i will say my Q in here... how do i (quote) "restore SQL/mysql/dbcreate.sql file into your database" for mysql ??
[12:53] <ompaul> benievlatlikal, if you want to chat please move to the channel #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:53] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: Do you mean I should change breezy-backports into breezy?
[12:53] <benievlatlikal> y ?
[12:53] <benievlatlikal> what is this channel for ?
[12:53] <ompaul> benievlatlikal,  >>>/join #ubuntu-offtopic<<< do that
[12:53] <hatake_kakashi> morphix: you might want to try #mysql ,because I'm sure they know what they are talking about :D
[12:54] <Healot> why the hell 64bit linux doesn't have WOW-like environment installed by default
[12:54] <morphix> oh, never knew they had a channel on freenode
[12:54] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: not suggesting that, though you might want to try, because I never tried breezy-backports yet
[12:54] <morphix> darn freenode.. got everything
[12:54] <hatake_kakashi> morphix: almost :)
[12:54] <Ng> diogo: and have you edited them to add multiverse?
[12:54] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, looking on that site now. awesome dude. i have an alternative to fat32 :P
[12:54] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: That entry came by default on my installation...
[12:54] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, thanks alot
[12:54] <Ng> diogo: please read the addingrepositories page ubotu sent you, it really does explain how to do this
[12:54] <Healot> chroot is so much pain
[12:54] <hatake_kakashi> !info j2re1.4
[12:54] <ubotu> j2re1.4: (Blackdown Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition), section multiverse/devel, is optional. Version: 1.4.2.02-1ubuntu3 (breezy), Packaged size: 21982 kB, Installed size: 58892 kB
[12:54] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: np
[12:55] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: hmm.. I presume you must be on Dapper?
[12:55] <delmar> here goes.. again
[12:55] <DJ_tobias> hatake_kakashi that didnt help
[12:56] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: No, fresh breezy install
[12:56] <Healot> hey would it be better you install make-jpkg and package the Sun's JRE instead?
[12:56] <hatake_kakashi> DJ_tobias: so you have tried a couple of different PCI slots and yet it still fails to detect?
[12:56] <diogo> Ng: I'll check that, thanks!
[12:56] <Ng> Healot: yes
[12:56] <delmar> omfg it boots
[12:56] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: odd, but I'm not too sure, I'm on breezy but upgraded from hoary
[12:56] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, it musta been that IDE disk I had plugged in.
[12:56] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: the extra IDE hard disk(s) more or less :)
[12:57] <delmar> oh u are not gonna believe this...this happened to me earlier....
[12:57] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: Im using the Brazilian repositories (br.) cause Im in Brazil, Im not sure if that could be the problem...
[12:57] <delmar> I have a box running debian sid... and I decided to try out the pre-packaged kernel 2.6.1-1...
[12:57] <delmar> so I booted up.. and found I had eth0 and eth1 but no networking.. nothing would ping....
[12:57] <gnomefreak> diogo: try taking the br. out of the repos and updating see if it fixes it (i havent seen the full issue)
[12:58] <DJ_tobias> hatake_kakashi i really have no clue whats going on :( when i use onboard video, i can use ndiswrapper/get online fine...but when i disable onboard video and put in my nvidia pci card.... cant connect
[12:58] <delmar> someone since told me that it might have been the 1394 driver.. bringing up a couple of those and my eth0 and eth1 were in fact 1394's lol.
[12:58] <delmar> anyway...
[12:58] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: if the hw are detected, it probably needs reconfiguration :)
[12:58] <delmar> no networking...
[12:58] <Healot> delmar, you haven't configure them yet in /etc/network/interfaces?
[12:58] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: hmm not sure
[12:58] <delmar> Healot, sure.. they were configured...
[12:58] <delmar> I had eth0 and eth1 up as normal... but get this...
[12:58] <Healot> i mean reconfgure?
[12:59] <delmar> if I SOFT rebooted back to kernel 2.6.14 .. which runs mint... custom compiled... same problem...
[12:59] <delmar> eth0 and eth1 are there.. but nothing pings... nothing works...
[12:59] <delmar> if I hard-reset and power off... then load 2.6.14... all fixed
[12:59] <delmar> so basically if I go near 2.6.15-1.. im screwed and have to power down to clear the problem
[12:59] <hatake_kakashi> DJ_tobias: what about the manual? you might want to try reading to see if you can find out which is shared. That problem is kinda odd, but because your video card is PCI, and so is your wireless card, its definetly an IRQ conflict
[12:59] <delmar> now how bizare is that.
[01:00] <funkyHat> intel 32bit is little endian right?
[01:00] <Healot> 2.6.1-1 is older than 2.6.14,,,
[01:00] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: heh, its all about learning, patience and persistence. I have switched between many vanilla kernels when I was on RH8 :)
[01:00] <delmar> Healot, i run 2.6.14 now.. was trying 2.6.15-1
[01:00] <Healot> funkyHat, I think so...
[01:01] <Healot> you missed the "5"
[01:01] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, never have I seen a kernel issue cause a hardware problem like that... such that I had to power off.
[01:01] <ompaul> http://www.cs.umass.edu/~verts/cs32/endian.html funkyHat your right
[01:01] <funkyHat> Thanks :)
[01:01] <hatake_kakashi> delmar: the hw was not detected under lspci? what about dmesg?
[01:01] <delmar> Healot, yep so i did
[01:02] <ompaul> delmar, you will never know, but I wonder if a second soft reboot of the box would have worked
[01:02] <delmar> hatake_kakashi, hardware was there and just fine.... I didn't look into it too deeply... as I say.. someone said something about the 1394 drifver being the cause.. and to blacklist it
[01:02] <delmar> ompaul, yeah :P
[01:02] <morphix> told u no other channel is as much help as here
[01:02] <hatake_kakashi> ahh that lol, I had similar case with my AWE32 driver being blacklisted as well
[01:03] <hatake_kakashi> morphix: well, I'm clueless with mysql let alone sql
[01:03] <Tallia1Kubuntu> hei? someone can tell me what's the you have mail message when i log in the console?
[01:03] <Tallia1Kubuntu> i just need a reference to search on google
[01:03] <Tallia1Kubuntu> :)
[01:04] <diogo> gnomefreak: Ok, I've taken the br. out of the URLs, updated, but still says j2re1.4 has no candidate... :'(
[01:04] <delmar> speaking of that debian box... i have a cheap little ATI pci-E card for that box.... I know the deal with nvidia drivers and such to get xorg all happy.. whats needed for ATI?
[01:04] <hatake_kakashi> Tallia1Kubuntu: if its 'You have mail' it just shows that there is still data in your /var/spool/mail/`whoami`
[01:04] <gnomefreak> diogo: do you have multiverse enabled?
[01:04] <diogo> gnomefreak: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[01:04] <diogo> deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[01:04] <hatake_kakashi> gnomefreak: he does, but the paste shows the repo is for breezy-backport
[01:05] <gnomefreak> diogo: also for blackdown you want to get it from synaptic not apt
[01:05] <Ng> diogo: you need to have multiverse enabled for each of the entries
[01:05] <Ng> not just backports
[01:05] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell diogo about multiverse
[01:05] <diogo> Ng: So I have to yank-yank and paste every repository entry and add "multiverse" in the end (more or less)?
[01:06] <liable> gnomefreak: whats the difference?
[01:06] <morphix> how on earth do i "run a sql along side a database"
[01:06] <Ng> diogo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 just copy that
[01:06] <heyjoe1> is there any irc channel for ubuntu newbies?
[01:06] <diogo> Hmmm, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 shows it all! :oD
[01:06] <nm> heyjoel: you're in it
[01:07] <gnomefreak> liable: of what?
[01:07] <Tallia1Kubuntu> i just need a reference to search on google
[01:07] <Tallia1Kubuntu> hei? someone can tell me what's the you have mail message when i log in the console?
[01:07] <delmar> ok. very cool. ubuntu all installed. sleep time.
[01:07] <Tallia1Kubuntu> please.... :)
[01:07] <liable> apt and synaptic
[01:07] <delmar> thanks for the help u lot.
[01:07] <gnomefreak> liable: because synaptic has the real name for it
[01:07] <heyjoe1> ok, just checking that people whether ppl were ignoring my requests because i was in the wrong channel
[01:08] <Tallia1Kubuntu> ??
[01:08] <Tallia1Kubuntu> someone knows what's that message? i am sure you do...
[01:08] <hatake_kakashi> Tallia1Kubuntu: I've already told you
[01:08] <gnomefreak> sudo apt-get install j2re1.4 btw there is no package named that
[01:08] <Tallia1Kubuntu> ?
[01:08] <Ng> gnomefreak: yes there is
[01:08] <Ng> Filename: pool/multiverse/j/j2se1.4-i586/j2re1.4_1.4.2.02-1ubuntu3_i386.deb
[01:08] <Tallia1Kubuntu> oooooo :)
[01:09] <hatake_kakashi> 22:05:14 < hatake_kakashi> Tallia1Kubuntu: if its 'You have mail' it just shows that there is still data in your /var/spool/mail/`whoami`
[01:09] <Tallia1Kubuntu> hatake_kakashi: who manage that space?
[01:09] <diogo> Ng: I can't believe the sources.list from http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 is NOT the default! :o)
[01:09] <Healot> j2re1.4 >> it does
[01:09] <Healot> in multiverse
[01:09] <diogo> Ng: Despite the typographical error in "pacakges", of course! ;o)
[01:09] <hatake_kakashi> Tallia1Kubuntu: that I'm not sure about, I also personally do not think its a big deal, if you want to, you can just delete the file and remake another null one
[01:09] <gnomefreak> Ng: i thought the name was blackdown-j2re1.4
[01:09] <Ng> diogo: there are reasons, unfortunately
[01:09] <hatake_kakashi> err null-length file
[01:10] <diogo> Ng: Got it! ;o)
[01:10] <babo> Is there any reason why this crontab wouldn't work 3 0 * * * cd /home/bambino/Desktop/etk-scripts/post/ &&  ./posting_script workscript ... but yet it works fine from the cli ?
[01:10] <hatake_kakashi> Tallia1Kubuntu: if it said, 'You have new mail' that means there is new mail inside your /var/spool/mail/`whoami`
[01:10] <morphix> ergh
[01:11] <babo> I'm also not getting any output from the tab either from stdout or from mail. Methinks it's not running at all ...
[01:11] <jessy_> how many times an MD5SUM need to sum the md5 of an DVD (3,3gb) ?
[01:11] <hatake_kakashi> morphix: maybe try googling 'mysql HOWTO' ? :)
[01:11] <morphix> morphix i hate to be of nuisance but how do i "run that sql against the db" ?? | ikonia morphix, @file << now that means SOO much to me
[01:11] <morphix> not
[01:11] <babo> hatake_kakashi: but when I type mail ... I get that there is no mail
[01:11] <babo> morphix: phpmysqladmin
[01:12] <morphix> i use phpmyadmin
[01:12] <hatake_kakashi> jessy_: usually once, unless you made a script, etc or set it into loop :P
[01:12] <babo> morphix: then just hit the sql tab
[01:12] <snowblink> babo, ; not &&
[01:12] <jessy_> ok
[01:12] <diogo> Ng: Just one more question... To turn breezy into dapper all I need is to replace 'breezy' with 'dapper' in sources.list, right?
[01:12] <morphix> yeh
[01:12] <morphix> and
[01:12] <hatake_kakashi> babo: err, that was for Tallia1Kubuntu, I'm not sure about crontab, maybe you need to google 'vixen cron HOWTO'?
[01:12] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: yes
[01:12] <Ng> diogo: yep
[01:12] <babo> snowblink: aha ...
[01:13] <babo> snowblink: but it works from the cli
[01:13] <babo> ?
[01:13] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: you need to also do 'apt-get update' after you edit the file
[01:13] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: Cool... Then I 'upgrade' or 'dist-upgrade', which one is best?
[01:13] <snowblink> babo, crontab is a different animal. ;)
[01:13] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'
[01:13] <babo> snowblink: cheers, I never spotted that one :)
[01:14] <morphix> babo: i have some .sql file i need to "load the database schema" from
[01:14] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: What about 'aptitude'? I have read it's better than apt-get, but everybody seem to use apt-get... Why is that?
[01:14] <newbiefewer> hello
[01:14] <morphix> like rocket science to me lol
[01:14] <babo> morphix: your .spl file is probably text ... just cut and paste it into the textbox in phpmyadmin and press 'run'
[01:14] <Healot> aptitude uses apt-get in background
[01:14] <heyjoe1> how do i solve a screen out of range error message?
[01:14] <babo> or something to that effect
[01:15] <newbiefewer> i use synaptic
[01:15] <Healot> aptitude does it smarter than apt-get though
[01:15] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: I dunno I personally like to use apt-get myself, I've hardly used aptitude except for checking available packages in CLI
[01:15] <morphix> hm
[01:15] <morphix> hope i dont mess nothing up
[01:16] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: I've always used apt-get too, but I have recently read somewhere that people should start using aptitude instead... It's like a Debian recommendation or the like...
[01:16] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: yes I also heard about that aswell
[01:16] <sugoruyo> hi all
[01:16] <hatake_kakashi> hi
[01:16] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: anyway, many thanks for helping, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 really kicks some!
[01:16] <sugoruyo> is there any way to do an ftp install of ubuntu?
[01:17] <Healot> yes
[01:17] <Healot> if you select expert during CD install...
[01:17] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: heh glad you're enjoying it :)
[01:17] <teetasse> hq
[01:17] <Healot> dl the minimal install image... and you'll find out
[01:17] <teetasse> i have a problem reading the current cpu temp on my centrino laptop watch -n 1 cat /pric/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature" is not found, can anybody tell me a simple way to fix this? (pls don't tell me i have to recompile the kernel :P)
[01:17] <teetasse> proc I mean sorry
[01:18] <XVampireX> hello :)
[01:18] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: So much that I'll remember to copy that sources.list whenever I install Ubuntu!
[01:18] <heyjoe1> how do i solve a screen out of range error message? or how do i change the screen resolution to be more ubuntu friendly on a lg 15" flatscreen
[01:18] <sugoruyo> ok wait a minute
[01:18] <sugoruyo> i can't use a cd to install ubuntu
[01:18] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: or you can save that file somewhere else :)
[01:19] <sugoruyo> i have cd, dvd editions of breezy (ubuntu|xubuntu|kubuntu)
[01:19] <hatake_kakashi> heyjoe1: on CD/DVD bootup or after installation?
[01:19] <sugoruyo> but the installer just don't install
[01:19] <heyjoe1> after installation
[01:19] <heyjoe1> it works on another monitor
[01:19] <Healot> your linux kernel doesn't support acpi thermal monitor, teetasse ?
[01:19] <Healot> well, ubuntu's default kernel doesn't.,..
[01:19] <XVampireX> Hi, I ordered Ubuntu through ShipIt, I live in Israel, when will I be receiving it?
[01:19] <teetasse> Healot, i have the default ubuntu kernel
[01:19] <teetasse> damn :/
[01:20] <hatake_kakashi> heyjoe1: hmm, it must be your xserver-xorg conf.. try dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg or something
[01:20] <hatake_kakashi> teetasse: you might want to try mbmon :)
[01:20] <sugoruyo> installer starts then stops saying it couldn't find the disc and mount it
[01:20] <Healot> yes... teetasse, then it doesn't support acpi thermal monitoring :)
[01:20] <heyjoe1> so i type dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg when its loading
[01:20] <Healot> XVampireX, well, around 4 weeks, as promised
[01:20] <heyjoe1> or booting up
[01:20] <gnomefreak> XVampireX: it takes around 4-6 weeks depending on where you are. it doesnt give a time frame per country so its hard to tell how long to u
[01:20] <Road> Hey everyone.. I was having a problem connecting my windows x server to my ubuntu machine, but I discovered it was caused by the particular firewall software on windows.  I figured I'd post the info on the ubuntu site for the benefit of others.. my question is: where is the approriate place to post this?
[01:20] <teetasse> hatake_kakashi, thanks i give it a try
[01:21] <heyjoe1> is that all i have to do?
[01:21] <Healot> mine reached my place around 4 weeks and 3 days to be exact, after confirmed shipping
[01:21] <teetasse> Healot, is there a module around wich enables acpi for the default ubuntu kernel?
[01:21] <hatake_kakashi> heyjoe1: err, you try booting into recover mode, there it should only be one console, and from there you do that, check the config settings and make sure they are suitable for your monitor, and then you can do init 5 after finnished configuration
[01:21] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: As soon as I find out how to communicate with my Nokia 6235 USB cable! ;o)
[01:21] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: heh
[01:21] <Healot> it's the acpi module :)
[01:22] <heyjoe1> ok thanks hatake, ill try that.
[01:22] <sugoruyo> can i download an ftp install tree and set it up somewhere cause at 384 kbps (240 actually)
[01:22] <XVampireX> gnomefreak: I've read that, but I got approval right when I submitted the request. Since Ubuntu developers are situated in South Africa and Israel is in the northern "Africa" part, it might be even quicker
[01:22] <sugoruyo> it's impossible to use the net
[01:22] <hatake_kakashi> Road: windows X server? you mean XWin32?
[01:22] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: Btw, is it 'kinda safe' to upgrade to dapper already or is that still too adventurous?
[01:22] <Healot> acpi-support, acpid, and acpi... teetasse
[01:23] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: depends, I somewhat see it as advanterous
[01:23] <Healot> mostly isntalled if you have ACPI-enabled machine
[01:23] <gnomefreak> XVampireX: no they ship from canada iirc
[01:23] <Healot> X Window....
[01:23] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: only if there is a need be, that's what you need to do
[01:23] <Road> hatake_kakashi: Yes, a windows X server.  I'm connecting to a ubuntu virtual machine running on vmware.  The server I'm running is called Xmins.
[01:23] <Healot> Windows is the name of Microsoft operating systems family
[01:23] <Healot> XVampireX, ubuntu developers are in isle of Man, britain :)
[01:23] <XVampireX> CANADA! Whoa :O
[01:24] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: I think I'll wait for the official release, but I was really hoping it could have support for DRI 3D acceleration in my S3 video chip.
[01:24] <XVampireX> I thought South Africa...
[01:24] <gnomefreak> thats right mark lives in london now
[01:24] <hatake_kakashi> Road: hmm, not sure, try checking on the forum first to see if anyone has found a solution, and maybe if not, you can try and ask to see if you can post it up and if so, where
[01:24] <XVampireX> Oh well
[01:24] <Healot> my shipping was from The Netherland :)
[01:24] <Road> hatake_kakashi: Okay.. good idea
[01:24] <gnomefreak> XVampireX: mark was born in sa but lives in london
[01:24] <fsancho> hi again
[01:24] <Healot> XVampireX, they are African-British...
[01:24] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: the last I heard about S3 video chip was the limited amount of support, so 3D acceleration could be out of the question when going to dapper
[01:25] <teetasse> Healot, thanks but it seems, acpi is allready running "error inserting acpi_cpufreq" device or resource busy... :(
[01:25] <XVampireX> Will I have to go to the mail post to pick it up, or do they give it directly using a mailman? :P
[01:25] <Healot> Isle of Man to be exact ....
[01:25] <hatake_kakashi> teetasse: lsmod| grep acpi_cpufreq
[01:25] <hatake_kakashi> err, append sudo infront of that
[01:25] <fsancho> how can i make rhythmbox to play mp3 files. I have installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly* and it still doesn't work. Says ** Message: don't know how to handle audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)1, layer=(int) 3
[01:26] <Healot> teetasse, it does run by default....
[01:26] <Healot> only there is no acpi thermal monitor in ubuntu's kernel...
[01:26] <hatake_kakashi> !tell fsancho about mp3
[01:26] <hatake_kakashi> Healot: heh, amazing
[01:26] <XVampireX> Anyone got some website with a list of the best applications for Linux? Or does Ubuntu already come with all the best applications?
[01:26] <fsancho> hatake_kakashi: false alarm. It works.
[01:27] <hatake_kakashi> fsancho: -_-
[01:27] <fsancho> just restarted rhythmbox
[01:27] <Healot> fsancho, gstreamer*-mad.... for playing mp3
[01:27] <teetasse> Healot ah okay, so the acpi module runs by default but i need another module to access the current temp?
[01:27] <Healot> MAD :)
[01:27] <variant> XVampireX: depends on what applications you like..
[01:27] <ompaul> Healot, ehh lmsensors works for some, it is available for most cpus but it requires kernel modules
[01:27] <Healot> well, someone told you about mbmon?
[01:27] <variant> Healot: there is, your chipset might have a crappy acpi implementation
[01:27] <ompaul> Healot, mega tweeking for VIA I did not bother
[01:27] <teetasse> sure, i have a slow internet connection, i'm installing it atm
[01:28] <hatake_kakashi> Healot: yeah I mentioned it, it works on my mobo here, I have it running with gkrellm :)
[01:28] <variant> Healot: particularly if its a laptop
[01:28] <XVampireX> Oh well, I guess I'll manage :P
[01:28] <Healot> lm-sensors >> try to install this... thanks ompaul
[01:28] <liable> !info libmad0
[01:28] <ubotu> libmad0: (MPEG audio decoder library), section libs, is optional. Version: 0.15.1b-2.1 (breezy), Packaged size: 75 kB, Installed size: 160 kB
[01:28] <Road> another remote x server question.. I'm connecting to ubuntu from my windows machine, but the desktop looks strange -- there's icons missing, the fonts are different sizes, etc.  Anyone have any idea why?
[01:28] <hatake_kakashi> Road: are you on dapper?
[01:28] <ompaul> Healot, we all don't know everything but the collective IQ of this channel is quite high :)
[01:28] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: Hmmm, many thanks for that info. Now I'm damn sure I'll look for any NVIDIA card around!
[01:28] <Healot> variant, not mine, teetasse ....
[01:28] <sugoruyo> can someone help?
[01:29] <ph1qt10n> WPA is not supported on ubuntu?
[01:29] <variant> ph1qt10n: yes it is
[01:29] <Road> hatake_kakashi: I'm running 5.10 if that's what you mean
[01:29] <ph1qt10n> variant: how do i set it up
[01:29] <variant> ph1qt10n: possibly not supported on your wifi device/driver
[01:29] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: yeah unfortunately I had to bring the bad news, however one can probably be persistent to continue searching for it and maybe even at that, help compiling or do-it-yourself? :)
[01:29] <ph1qt10n> variant: my card is intel
[01:29] <diogo> Road: 5.10 = breezy
[01:30] <ompaul> sugoruyo, there is a network install option is that what you are looking for?
[01:30] <Road> okay
[01:30] <hatake_kakashi> Road: hmm hoary.. and I don't see how the icons could go missing, is it a fresh install?
[01:30] <sugoruyo> yes
[01:30] <sugoruyo> but
[01:30] <variant> ph1qt10n: you using ndiswrapper or a native driver?
[01:30] <Road> yes
[01:30] <sugoruyo> i dont want to do it over the internet
[01:30] <Road> hatake_kakashi: It runs fine locally, the icons are only missing when running the remote x server
[01:30] <sugoruyo> cause i'm running on a clogged up 384 kbps adsl
[01:30] <hatake_kakashi> Road: not sure, it might be an issue with the rendering via VMWare or something
[01:31] <sugoruyo> reaching 240 kbps peak download
[01:31] <ph1qt10n> variant: whats that
[01:31] <hatake_kakashi> Road: well then I'm not too sure about it :/
[01:31] <sugoruyo> so i dont want to take 5 days to install ubuntu
[01:31] <Healot> sugoruyo, i only have a GPRS Class 10 connection, and you still complaint?
[01:31] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: I have tried installing a few pre-compiled drivers for my S3 chip, following a few cake-recipes I've found, but no luck. I better go with a well-supported video board, I guess...
[01:31] <Road> hatake_kakashi: Strangely enough, it's the (slow) vmware desktop that runs it fine, and only the (fast) x server that shows up strange.. but thanks for the help anyways
[01:31] <ompaul> sugoruyo,  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/
[01:31] <sugoruyo> well i have to share it with 6 other windows users
[01:31] <sugoruyo> who adore wmv streaming
[01:31] <variant> ph1qt10n: the driver for you network card, ndiswrapper uses the windows driver inside a "wrapper" that can make it work on linux and native drivers are linux open source driver
[01:31] <variant> s
[01:31] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: heh :|
[01:32] <Healot> i just order the CD...
[01:32] <Healot> i can wait :)
[01:32] <ompaul> sugoruyo, have a look at that page for network
[01:32] <sugoruyo> and sending pics through msn
[01:32] <hatake_kakashi> Road: could it be an issue with the remote client? I mean the software?
[01:32] <Healot> isntalling lm-sensor myself
[01:32] <sugoruyo> so chewing down all the bw for a couple of days would get me a nice bruise
[01:32] <variant> ph1qt10n: you can not enable wpa if your interface card does not support it
[01:32] <ompaul> sugoruyo, you could torrent download the iso and install from that
[01:32] <ph1qt10n> variant: so i need to download the driver?
[01:32] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: Compiling X myself is completelly out of question... Haven't had my NASA course yet... :oD
[01:32] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: lol
[01:32] <sugoruyo> it wont install from optical drives...
[01:32] <Road> hatake_kakashi: hm.. yes, that's a really good point.. I should try a different one.
[01:33] <sugoruyo> that's the problem
[01:33] <sugoruyo> i have the dvd
[01:33] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: well patience and persistence and you will find your way :)
[01:33] <sugoruyo> and the c
[01:33] <sugoruyo> cd*
[01:33] <sugoruyo> but it either says it cannot mount the disc or complains something about initrd
[01:33] <hatake_kakashi> Road: I know there is a commercial one called XWin32, tried on 2 different linux distros and it seemed to render fine
[01:33] <sugoruyo> when it installs base system
[01:33] <narzy-> gotta reset real quick.
[01:33] <narzy-> bbiam
[01:34] <sugoruyo> i have to run with weird bios setting for ata controllers to get it to boot from cd
[01:34] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: Yeah, you're right. But unfortunatelly I haven't had the time for that lately. Perhaps when S3 support becomes something usual I sell the NVIDIA and get the money back. ;o)
[01:34] <hatake_kakashi> lol
[01:34] <Healot> i don't have ic2 chip. hehe
[01:34] <Road> hatake_kakashi: okay.. I'll try the demo for that and see how that works
[01:34] <Healot> wtf
[01:35] <hatake_kakashi> that would probably be highly unlikely imo, they had dropped better support for one of my oldest video cards: S3 Trio64V2+ or something. I was more or less disappointed
[01:36] <Healot> can you use the older X?
[01:36] <Road> hatake_kakashi: Wow, that's old.. my first every computer had that :)
[01:36] <ompaul> sugoruyo, have a look at these http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootOptions and  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaulsKludge not perfect but a start
[01:36] <variant> ph1qt10n: are you using the wireless network now under ubunt??
[01:36] <variant> ubuntu?*
[01:36] <Healot> S3Virge for my older PC
[01:36] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: Well then I guess politics will be better than science: boycott S3!! :o)
[01:37] <hatake_kakashi> Road: heh, it was fine at certain res but I was sure that it could do much better than having very small amount of resolution
[01:37] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: :)
[01:37] <hatake_kakashi> Road: any luck with XWin32?
[01:37] <Road> installing.. I'll let you know
[01:37] <hatake_kakashi> Road: ok, coolies
[01:37] <diogo> hatake_kakashi: must go now, many thanks for all the info!
[01:37] <hatake_kakashi> diogo: np
[01:38] <onkarshinde> WHy can't I attach files to topic?
[01:38] <onkarshinde> On Wiki?
[01:39] <newbiefewer> hawe someone lexmark z617?...i hawe but it didnt work...cose i didnt find any driver...only one fron redhat...i alien it but it doesnt work cose libs....
[01:39] <babo> I put a cd command in cron, but it doesn't make any difference - it still uses it's HOME directory to execute my scripts from. I try to replace HOME but that doesn't seem to work either ... anyone help cd /home/babo/Desktop/etk-scripts/job_post/ & ls -a     ... I need to get into another directory to run a script
[01:39] <ompaul> onkarshinde, whose wiki?
[01:40] <Healot> newbiefewer, try lexmark z50 driver... it might work...
[01:40] <onkarshinde> ompaul: Ubuntu wiki
[01:40] <newbiefewer> Healot: it doesnt
[01:40] <onkarshinde> ompaul: I see no option to upload files
[01:40] <onkarshinde> ompaul: I mean attach files
[01:41] <Healot> hum catchy... that's why I hate paperwight printers...
[01:41] <Healot> go HP for printers
[01:41] <variant> ph1qt10n: read this doc, it tells you everything: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WPAHowto
[01:41] <newbiefewer> Healot: hmm...what can i do......thats what i hawe..
[01:41] <ompaul> onkarshinde, its a knowledge base not a file system for that there are repositories have a look at the EasyUbuntu wiki page to see how they did it
[01:42] <ompaul> onkarshinde, wiki page here --->> points to data there
[01:42] <Healot> nver mind.. can you find any linux driver for the new z617?
[01:42] <ompaul> onkarshinde, if it was a script you can type the contents into the page
[01:43] <newbiefewer> lexmark hawent drivers only for z600 series...thats it...hmm
[01:43] <jind> Does anybody know how a working line in /etc/sudoers should look like if I want to run "sudo /usr/sbin/hibernate" as the user jind on this system with the hostname ras?
[01:43] <jind> Without a password that is
[01:43] <onkarshinde> ompaul: I am creating a page for phones that can be used as remote control over bluetooth. I wanted to upload a configuration file that can be used to control Totem
[01:43] <Road> hatake_kakashi: Thanks man.. you were right.  Running XWin32 fixes the display glitches.
[01:44] <Healot> onkarshinde, how's that remote bt thing going?
[01:44] <jind> The script checks for root and I want to be able to just hibernate the computer without with a mouseclick when I want to put away my laptop and go to sleep
[01:44] <newbiefewer> Healot: i find a rpm...i alien it and install but needs some libs....nad it was half instaled...-1....i cant uninstall and i cant install anything on sistem....i maked a fresh install
[01:44] <onkarshinde> Healot: Soory, I am in office on Windows 2k. SO can't give feedback now.
[01:44] <hatake_kakashi> Road: np
[01:45] <jind> err.. shouldn't have writte without over
[01:45] <Road> hatake_kakashi: And sorry.. it had nothing to do with linux after all
[01:45] <Healot> well, just want to ask, is it available for anything other than SE's?
[01:45] <hatake_kakashi> Road: well that shouldn't be a problem but anyway :)
[01:45] <onkarshinde> Healot: For now I am creating this wiki page. It seems that many people don't know about it. I wish to upload the configuration I created for Totem.
[01:45] <jind> No sudo experts nearby? :)
[01:45] <HymnToLife> newbiefewer> either uninstall the package or install the correct libs and reinstall it
[01:46] <Road> have a nice day everyone
[01:46] <Healot> is that thing downloadable... i wanna try on some SE's cells
[01:46] <ompaul> onkarshinde, so document the file with {{{
[01:46] <ompaul>  your text here for the code }}}
[01:46] <newbiefewer> HymnToLife: there are not debian libs...
[01:46] <onkarshinde> Healot: Don't have any idea bout other phones. Just heard that some Nokia and Motorola phones (not sure) support this functionality. Don't have any idea how.
[01:47] <onkarshinde> ompaul: It is okay for configuration file. But there is also an image.
[01:47] <HymnToLife> newbiefewer> maybe the same libs are available for Ubuntu... It would hel if you told what the package is
[01:47] <mongo456a> i have Samba setup on ubuntu 5.10 and i can browse my home dir from winxp pro and login but i cannot create a new folder...any ideas?
[01:47] <Healot> where did you dl'ed it from?
[01:47] <ompaul> onkarshinde, pop it on fliker or wikipedia and link to it
[01:47] <onkarshinde> ompaul: Ok
[01:47] <gehel> mongo456a, is the share writeable ? can you create file ?
[01:47] <Healot> mongo456a, you don;t have persmission to write to that folder?
[01:48] <mongo456a> i do from looking at the permissions tab of the folder
[01:48] <mongo456a> it's my home dir
[01:48] <newbiefewer> HymnToLife: its only one pakage for lexmark z600
[01:48] <Bateau_> how do i set proxy settings in console?
[01:48] <newbiefewer> in redhat
[01:48] <ompaul> onkarshinde, consider dropping into #ubuntu-doc to talk to them about it - a four line conversation in there can take an hour :)
[01:49] <gehel> mongo456a, try to make your home dir world writeable to check (undo that after the check !)
[01:49] <HymnToLife> and are you quite sure the librarie are not available for Ubuntu ?
[01:49] <scenestar> is there a special chan for dapper?
[01:49] <HymnToLife> !dapper
[01:49] <ubotu> it has been said that dapper is the pre-release name for next edition of Ubuntu, release name 6.04. Due 20th April. It is Development Software - May Break! > /join #ubuntu+1 for IRC Use  http://tinyurl.com/rtgxo for easy updates
[01:49] <mongo456a> gehel that didn't work
[01:49] <onkarshinde> ompaul: Thanks for suggestion
[01:49] <scenestar> HymnToLife, i know that
[01:50] <variant> gah, i really dont like the way more and more docs say "do this then re-start your computer" rather than saying "do this then enter this command".. just because most new ubuntu users have only ever used windows doesnt mean they are going to be afraid to enter a command.. the only time you need to reboot your computer is to change hardware or the kernel
[01:50] <scenestar> pah
[01:50] <HymnToLife> scenestar> why did you ask then ?
[01:51] <scenestar> nothing, you jsut stated the obvious
[01:51] <gehel> mongo456a, I didnt play with samba for quite some time ... what kind of authentication did you use ? is it a public share ?
[01:51] <newbiefewer> HymnToLife: it was about a mount when i hawe tryed it...i dont remeber well...i use widows to print...:(
[01:51] <mongo456a> gehel what do you mean what type of auth?  there is only samba and nfs by default and there weren't auth options
[01:52] <MaMaGoody> hi
[01:52] <scenestar> man, breaking your system is awesome
[01:52] <HymnToLife> well, next time you try it, look at the missing librariesand if they're not available for Ubuntu, download the RPMs and alien them :D
[01:52] <scenestar> brings back memories of windows 3.11
[01:52] <MaMaGoody> anyone know where can i get samba schema for ldap?
[01:52] <mongo456a> gehel in other words, whatever was the default i assume...and it's shared...the little app for samba sharing in ubuntu is quite simple
[01:52] <newbiefewer> HymnToLife: ill give it a try ....thx
[01:53] <MaMaGoody> found, thanks
[01:53] <newbiefewer> :)
[01:54] <gehel> mongo456a, sorry, I'm more used to file editing than GUI. The default in ubuntu seems to be security=user ... I assume you did enter your username / pwd on the winXP ?
[01:54] <osfameron> Is there a glulx interpreter available for ubuntu?
[01:54] <HymnToLife> I think samba messes up a bit with the permissions when installing it
[01:54] <mongo456a> gehel yeah, and i went into the samba config file and made the "security=user" line valid, it was remarked by default
[01:54] <osfameron> I've searched synaptic for glulx and gargoyle and other likely suspects
[01:55] <osfameron> but I think the default zcode-interpreter (frotz) doesn't do glulx graphics and the like
[01:55] <HymnToLife> try sudo chown -R user /home/user && chmod -R 755 (or whatever you want it to be) /home/user
[01:56] <scenestar> wouldnt that be a bit too generous with permissions
[01:56] <gehel> mongo456a, can you have a look /var/log/samba/* and see if you have anything meaningfull ?
[01:56] <elTigre> hi! I am interested in VoIP.... is it possible to call MSN users via a linux system?
[01:56] <scenestar> elTigre, : no
[01:56] <mongo456a> gehel ok, brb
[01:56] <scenestar> well actually
[01:56] <scenestar> elTigre, : yes it is
[01:56] <HymnToLife> I think Kopete does it (not sure though)
[01:56] <scenestar> theres a faq for amsn on the forums
[01:56] <HymnToLife> and there is Skype
[01:56] <scenestar> you need to isntall some custom libs and pkugins
[01:57] <scenestar> skype is horrible on linux
[01:57] <elTigre> on the linux side or the windows side?(plugins)
[01:57] <ompaul> HymnToLife, skype does not talk to the others (if it did it would wipe out the competition)
[01:57] <mongo456a> gehel: one thing "  Unable to open printcap file /etc/printcap for read!"
[01:57] <gehel> scenestar, could you be more precise on skype pls ?
[01:57] <osfameron> skype is indeed horrible horrible horrible horrible

[02:06] <mongo456a> gehel : any further ideas?
[02:06] <scenestar> and be more specific
[02:06] <scenestar> it makes no sense
[02:06] <Kafnetti> Hello. I am having problems getting my other Ubuntu comp connected to the internet. The computer has about 5% chance to load the page each time I click refresh. I was thinking that it might be a problem with drivers (as it has diffrent kind of ethernet card than this one). How could I check this and how to get new drivers?
[02:06] <gehel> mongo456a, could you try to set "log level" to something higher, restart samba, try again to create the dir and have a look at the logs ?
[02:06] <scenestar> hackeron, properly configure X
[02:06] <scenestar> Kafnetti, really simple
[02:06] <mongo456a> gehel ok

[02:07] <scenestar> hackeron, there is a lovely forum with instructions

[02:12] <rizwan> helo to everyone
[02:12] <crimsun> richard: 403s? That's odd.
[02:12] <Kafnetti> scenestar, what did you mean in going "about: config" in mozilla? Can't find such a thing in menus... Or if you meant to go to firefox help and search for ipv6, it found no results. :/
[02:12] <scenestar> no
[02:12] <mongo456a> gehel: thanks for trying...i've been really unimpressed with Ubuntu
[02:12] <crimsun> richard: Did you try with archive.ubuntu.com?
[02:12] <scenestar> Kafnetti: in the adress bar
[02:12] <scenestar> type in "about:config"
[02:13] <scenestar> its a special config set

[02:13] <scenestar> gnomefreak, he cant be THAT helpless
[02:13] <mongo456a> i don't see the logic and being so unconventional with the distro...the sudo user thing is ridiculous
[02:13] <scenestar> i do
[02:13] <scenestar> it makes sense if you use mac
[02:13] <gnomefreak> scenestar: i have seen some people that are
[02:13] <jon_> mong456, If you don't like it, then set a root password and use that instead ;)
[02:13] <jon_> mongo456*
[02:13] <scenestar> gnomefreak, those people should be shot and be condemned to spyware hell for all eternity
[02:13] <jon_> a
[02:14] <mylo> anybody ever use mythtv on ubuntu ?
[02:14] <scenestar> if you want a root password
[02:14] <gnomefreak> have to remember people from windows dont know what "thismeans"
[02:14] <scenestar> sudo passwd
[02:14] <richard> crimsun: i only change my souce.list  as i tell you before co for us.. i'm new in linux. how can i do what you recommend me?
[02:14] <crimsun> if you're so keen on being pendantic on why sudo by default is Oh So Annoying, then you have much larger issues than Ubuntu.
[02:14] <heyjoe1> could anyone help me overcome a screen "out of range" error i get just after bootup when running breezy
[02:14] <scenestar> richard, try the source o matic
[02:14] <scenestar> heyjoe1, reconfigure x
[02:14] <mongo456a> i know i can use a more traditional root password, but it's not just that
[02:14] <heyjoe1> where do i type reconfigure x?
[02:14] <heyjoe1> im a real newbie sorry
[02:15] <scenestar> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:15] <crimsun> heyjoe1: at a console (ctrl+alt+F1)
[02:15] <heyjoe1> so i type ctrl alt f1
[02:15] <mongo456a> for example, why hide the terminal in Applicaytions>Accesories?  it took me forever to find it
[02:15] <heyjoe1> then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:15] <crimsun> richard: change it again, but this time remove us. or co.
[02:15] <scenestar> yeah i kniow
[02:15] <scenestar> ubuntu is starting to piss me off lately
[02:15] <exono> Hello
[02:15] <mongo456a> and the devs have no idea how many potential users they are losing with this sudo account thing
[02:15] <jon_> heyjoel, no you hold down crtl + alt + f1
[02:15] <heyjoe1> yeah
[02:16] <heyjoe1> hold it down
[02:16] <scenestar> ancient packages and no decent backports
[02:16] <scenestar> its retarded
[02:16] <heyjoe1> and then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:16] <mongo456a> i agree scene
[02:16] <heyjoe1> anything after that
[02:16] <Seveas> mongo456a, scenestar, offtopic discussions elsewhere please
[02:16] <audun> how do you return from console?
[02:16] <scenestar> jawohl mein fuhrer
[02:16] <Seveas> ranting about ubuntu is not helping in a support channel
[02:16] <jon_> audun, ctrl alt f7
[02:16] <gnomefreak> alt ctrl f7
[02:16] <mongo456a> what better place to talk about ubuntu that #ubuntu?
[02:16] <gehel> the only thing that pisses me off with ubuntu is the beta version of OOo in breezy
[02:16] <LinuxJones> lol
[02:16] <liable> audun: alt+F7
[02:16] <jon_> gehel, There's a way to fix that easily.
[02:16] <crimsun> mongo456a: this is a support channel. Use #ubuntu-offtopic, or #ubuntu+1
[02:17] <Seveas> mongo456a, pointless rants about things that will not change are quite useless
[02:17] <mongo456a> Seveas i don't mean to rant, i was wondering if there was logical reasons for these things
[02:17] <Seveas> mongo456a, about sudo: most definitely, see the RootSudo wikipage
[02:17] <toogreen> anyone here has experience with Intel 950 graphics accelerators?
[02:18] <Seveas> mongo456a, the lack of backports: apparently noone from the community is interested in developing them
[02:18] <gehel> jon_, what way ? just note that I am in rwanda with awfully bad internet connection and was planning of deploying a bunch of ubuntu with te free CDs ordered from the  net (great idea !)
[02:18] <mongo456a> Seveas i own a company that puts together open source workstations and sells them nationwide, i get asked about ubunutu a lot so i decided to test it myself...i'm just looking for answers
[02:18] <Seveas> mongo456a, I hope these 2 questions are answered now
[02:18] <jon_> gehel, How bad is bad?  Because all it takes is adding a repo and sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:19] <toogreen> I can't get my laptop's graphic or network cards to work normally under my new dual core laptop need help..!
[02:19] <mylo> mongo456a, imo the sudo thing is a good thing
[02:19] <Seveas> mylo, that's an endless debate, just like vim vs emacs
[02:19] <mongo456a> Seveas: what's with the lack of updates through Synaptic?  is it just me or is there nothing available since the 5.10 release?
[02:19] <gehel> jon_, forget about doing an apt-get upgrade from here ... you have for about 2 weeks ...
[02:19] <mylo> Seveas, yeah
[02:19] <Seveas> mongo456a, you need to enable -security and -updates repositories
[02:19] <mongo456a> mylo: why is sudo better than a traditional root user account?
[02:19] <Seveas> !tell mongo456a about repos
[02:20] <mongo456a> Seveas: why wouldn't they be enabled by default?!
[02:20] <Seveas> mongo456a, please see the RootSudo wikipage for a more complete discussion than what's possible on IRC
[02:20] <Seveas> mongo456a, that's now considered a bug
[02:20] <jon_> gehel, I'm sorry?  Do you mean your internet is slow and takes forever?
[02:20] <fek> moin
[02:20] <gehel> mongo456a, it alows you to get root only for the needed command, you dont keep a root shell open
[02:20] <mylo> mongo456a, you can limit what users can do/execute , and have them logged if they are trying other undefined program.
[02:21] <gehel> jon_, it's slow and awfully expensive ... I have to learn to work without internet again ...
[02:21] <mylo> mongo456a, i'm off conversation with sudo thing
[02:21] <Seveas> mongo456a, as of 6.04 - if an internet connection is detected by the installer those repositories are enabled
[02:21] <mongo456a> gehel: but you can accomplish the same thing using other distros
[02:21] <mongo456a> Seveas: that's a relief
[02:21] <Seveas> mongo456a, indeed 
[02:21] <gehel> jon_, add to that that most PCs dont even have an internet connection ...
[02:22] <gehel> jon_, but I'm getting off topic here ...
[02:22] <anakronisme> i miss my connection
[02:22] <jon_> gehel, Yeah.  I don't know, perhaps you could get in contact with a dev and see if you could get those problems resolved before you get CDs shipped out?
[02:22] <Fracture> hi.. is this the place for evolution support ?
[02:23] <Sp00n> i need help with usb accessories workin in ubuntu
[02:23] <gehel> jon_, I already have the CDs ... I'll wait for the next release and see if it is fixed ...
[02:23] <Seveas> Fracture, this is the place for Ubuntu support ;)
[02:23] <jon_> gehel, Should be.
[02:23] <Kafnetti> So... I am having a problem with my internet connection on another comp and thought it might have to do with drivers. I asked how to check it and how to get new drivers and was told to disable ipv6 in about:config in mozilla. But what to do next
[02:23] <sugoruyo> ok here's the deal: i have a p4 machine to install ubuntu on. it won't install from an optical drive though so i need to do an install through the net. problem is inet connection is slow like hell. so i want to know (A) can i use the dvd i have to create some sort of file system structure and put on an ftp server to install from lan? (B) if A is impossible is it possible to download a tree from the  net to place on the ftp server? there's
[02:23] <sugoruyo> is a mac mini available for the role of ftp server
[02:23] <Zeep> Fracture: More specific problems are discussed in the gnome-list, I guess *g*
[02:23] <newbiefewer> thx and byby
[02:23] <gehel> mongo456a, and you can do the same as other distro with ubuntu ... or am I missing soomething ?
[02:23] <Fracture> Seveas: yeah, I know that ;) the evolution Helo / Get online Help page directed me here ;)
[02:24] <mongo456a> Seveas: i found 5.10 very easy to install but too simplistic by default...however it is a solid distro, i cannot argue that - i will say that it still has a way to go before it reaches a point where i can distribute it to clients...i don't even know how i would approach the sudo user setup...it's disheartening when i have to search deep into Ubuntu docs to fully understand the sudo account functionality, and even there it isn't explained in depth or in
[02:24] <mongo456a> laymans terms
[02:24] <Seveas> sugoruyo, wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/NetInstall (iirc)
[02:24] <gnomefreak> mongo456a: simplistic to you i have seen others have issues with it
[02:24] <ompaul> gehel, mongo456a please take that to #ubuntu-offtopic (/join #ubuntu-offtopic) it is not here for here a help channel with 500+  in it
[02:24] <mongo456a> gehel: well in most distros you just enter the "su" command to log in as root or whatever and work that way...just like the "sudo" in ubuntu
[02:24] <gnomefreak> were back up to 500 :)
[02:25] <Seveas> mongo456a, it's quite easy, all menu entries and gui things already use sudo and (this is real evil but demanded by users) bash will display a notice about sudo on first start of the shell
[02:25] <gehel> ompaul, rgr
[02:25] <gnomefreak> Seveas: does breezy do that too?
[02:25] <mongo456a> it iddn't for me
[02:25] <sugoruyo> Seveas, it's empty
[02:26] <Seveas> mongo456a, I usually explain sudo as "To make sure you know what you're doing and to notify you that you are doing serious system administration, we now ask you for your password again"
[02:26] <sugoruyo> wiki says it's non existent
[02:26] <gehel> 5 hours to download scanner drivers ... I hate HP ! bye all and have a good day !
[02:26] <Seveas> mongo456a, and the shell notice thing is new in 6.04/dapper
[02:27] <Seveas> gnomefreak, yeah, only about 150 more to go before the channel is fully back
[02:27] <mongo456a> Seveas: you obviously love ubuntu and know what you're talking about, and believe me i'm not here to rant or cause people headaches, i just wanted some answers and was hoping that i was missing something.  now that i see that it's just how ubuntu works i can make a better informed decision, so i thank you all for your answers
[02:27] <ompaul> 512 we were on 687 when it went iirc
[02:27] <Seveas> mongo456a, glad I could help 
[02:27] <cwillu> mongo456a; ftr, osx uses sudo as well (doesn't it?) :)
[02:27] <Seveas> (and I indeed love Ubuntu but welcome criticism)
[02:28] <Seveas> cwillu, indeed
[02:28] <Seveas> cwillu, but in macworld all is gui so you hardly notice
[02:28] <Seveas> ideally, the same would be the case for Ubuntu on the desktop
[02:28] <mongo456a> cwillu: osx is not something i would reference :)
[02:28] <cwillu> I think we've found the communication problem :p
[02:28] <jon_> Seveas, ;) "ideally" Keyword there.
[02:28] <mylo> mongo456a, is your future customer a power user ?
[02:29] <Seveas> jon_, there's lots of work being done about it right now, gnome/kde development is going quite fast
[02:29] <mongo456a> mylo: my clients are all over the spectrum, from novice to power user...the novices however are novices to linux, not PCs
[02:30] <jon_> Seveas, But when I have to restart X in a terminal because it's taking up 60% of the processor... ;) It's not ready.
[02:30] <Seveas> mongo456a, same here - but they all like Ubuntu. Even with sudo ;)
[02:30] <ompaul> mongo456a, please take the conversation to the other channel I will even join in, really this is distracting from the function of this channel
[02:30] <jon_> As much as I love linux
[02:30] <Seveas> ompaul, I disagree
[02:30] <sugoruyo> anyone?
[02:31] <mylo> i'm joining anywhere this conversation goes
[02:31] <ompaul> mylo, you can be in more than one channel at at time
[02:31] <ompaul> s/at at/a :)

[02:32] <GTX> Guys how do I extract an .rar file in  cmd line
[02:32] <gnomefreak> !rar
[02:32] <ubotu> methinks rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FileCompression
[02:32] <crimsun> rar e foo.rar
[02:33] <Fracture> I have a problem with Evolution.  When I create a html signiture, it works fine until I restart evolution.  Then it starts displaying the HTML source instead, even if I go to edit it.
[02:33] <renewip> Im being in a KDE session. How to start a new console session?
[02:34] <renewip> which command?
[02:34] <cwillu> sugoruyo; you can't install from dvd or cd?
[02:34] !lilo:*! DLINE recycle in process, you may see a few annoyance bots come back on a temporary basis. Apologies for the inconvenience and it shouldn't last long. Thanks.

[02:36] <nicetip> hi, every body.
[02:36] <sugoruyo> ompaul, no i cant
[02:36] <sugoruyo> some bios settings freeze the POST
[02:36] <phisrow> Hello nicetip.
[02:36] <nicetip> : D
[02:36] <sugoruyo> some others cause ubuntu installer to fail asking for the disc to be inserted as it cant mount it
[02:36] <sohmc> Seveas:: hmm...didn't work...apt-get is still complaining
[02:36] <sugoruyo> some others go past this point
[02:36] <ompaul> sugoruyo, you are using the PPC version of the disk?
[02:37] <valzaq>  hello everybody i have a problem instaling a new netcard when it boots it says something like cannot allocate the pci device
[02:37] <sohmc> Seveas:: nevermind
[02:37] <sugoruyo> where the "installing base system" stops saying it couldn't transfer to disk the initrd image
[02:37] <sugoruyo> of course not
[02:38] <sugoruyo> it wouldn't linux-686 and linux-image-686-2.9.10-9 or sth like that on it, would it?
[02:38] <sugoruyo> i don't think i've confused my discs :P
[02:38] <sugoruyo> i'd encountered this some time ago
[02:38] <richard> richard crimsun: ocur the same error... i can't install kde
[02:38] <sugoruyo> but it was resolved
[02:38] <sugoruyo> using bios settings
[02:38] <sugoruyo> which now dont work
[02:39] <cwillu> sugoruyo; I don't suppose a live cd works does it?
[02:39] <sugoruyo> no

[02:41] <sugoruyo> Ng, lol
[02:41] <liable> is that a bot?
[02:41] <belou> damn it i am on a dell 380, is there a special way to have nvidia driver working?
[02:41] <ompaul> liable, yes
[02:41] <Ng> !tell belou about nvidia
[02:41] <liable> ok
[02:42] <sugoruyo> so anyone have any ideas?
[02:42] <sugoruyo> or should i give up on the idea of linux on my pc
[02:42] <liable> why does it have ops?
[02:42] <sugoruyo> no distro finishes the install and no live cd finishes loading
[02:43] <phisrow> What manner of machine do you have?
[02:43] <cwillu> sugoruyo; have you tried the usual kernel switches?
[02:43] <cwillu> noapic, etc?
[02:43] <liable> oh, its like debhelper?
[02:43] <sugoruyo> cwillu, no
[02:43] <cwillu> no, haven't, no inapplicable, no didn't work?
[02:43] <sugoruyo> cwillu,
[02:43] <jon_> sugoruyo, On my older computer, I *have* to boot with noapic
[02:44] <richard> how can i install kde.. i have problems?
[02:44] <johndarkhorse> richard: are you trying "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" ?
[02:44] <sugoruyo> jon_, what does that do? my problem seems to be the inability to read from dvd or write to sata disk
[02:44] <Absenth> sugoruyo, I was previously able to install linux (various flavors) on my laptop.  Recently this has stopped working.  Removing one of my two memory modules seems to have resolved this.  (leading me to believe I have bad ram :)
[02:45] <sugoruyo> i have tried even using another cpu
[02:45] <Absenth> sugoruyo, now, if it hasn't ever worked.  Some of the kernel switches at boot are more likely.
[02:45] <jon_> Ah
[02:46] <sugoruyo> as long as i use my current mobo
[02:46] <sugoruyo> it wont work
[02:46] <richard> johndarkhorse: yes i try but ocur this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9785
[02:46] <sugoruyo> Absenth, well it has worked before
[02:46] <phisrow> Sugoruyo, your BIOS is fully updated, right? Your problem sounds like some flavour of BIOS glitch.
[02:46] <sugoruyo> and it did so without switches
[02:47] <sugoruyo> phisrow, unfortunately the BIOS is fully updated
[02:47] <sugoruyo> and cant be downgraded
[02:47] <sugoruyo> in case the glitch is in the new version
[02:47] <phisrow> Hmm.
[02:47] <liable> cant downgrade the biosZ?
[02:47] <sugoruyo> i already know its a bios problem
[02:48] <sugoruyo> liable, nope
[02:48] <liable> that sucks
[02:48] <sugoruyo> it's supposedly possible but when i tried it failed always
[02:48] <sugoruyo> liable, big time
[02:49] <ITS_FOR_REAL> sugoruyo, not a fun way to solve it but email the manufacture of mobo? :/
[02:49] <sugoruyo> anyway i was thinking about using the dvd i have and my mini to set it up as an ftp and install from the lan
[02:49] <sugoruyo> they say it works just fine... in bad english
[02:49] <anildigital> hey what will happen, if I make bad chats in this channel
[02:50] <anakronisme> anil: you will spontaneously combust
[02:50] <sugoruyo> no way to find a way through them... i was hoping to install today and get on with it
[02:50] <ITS_FOR_REAL> sugoruyo, :(
[02:50] <sugoruyo> i had no problems whatsoever after the install last time it worked
[02:50] <sugoruyo> just installing is a total pain in the @$$
[02:51] <cwillu> sugoruyo; just for the hell of it, you might want to try noapic;  failing that, I think the ftp should work, just google for an example of ftp in /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:51] <cwillu> I don't know the syntax offhand
[02:51] <richard> johndarkhorse: yes i try but ocur this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9785

[03:00] <cppnewbie> guys, whats edubuntu? :S for example what de does edubuntu use and why is it called like that??
[03:01] <gnomefreak> edubuntu is based more for educations uses
[03:01] <gnomefreak> educational uses*
[03:01] <Frogzoo> !edubuntu
[03:01] <ubotu> [edubuntu]  an Ubuntu version suitable for classroom use. See http://edubuntu.org or visit #edubuntu
[03:01] <Jarigo> Anybody here got counter-strike source working with ubuntu?
[03:01] <heyjoe1> thank you frogzoo
[03:01] <Zoroaster> what is a good newsreader for Ubuntu?
[03:01] <cppnewbie> what de does edubuntu use? or its all in the site? :S
[03:02] <sugoruyo> how do i disable apic?
[03:02] <exono> i installed xnetcardconfig, but the network did not started on boot.
[03:02] <gnomefreak> cppnewbie: it uses edubuntu de
[03:02] <usr> I am copying .rar files from a CD rom to a folder on my desktop and the icons have a small lock icon on them, why is that and how can I remove it.
[03:02] <cppnewbie> so its a totally different one? not related to ubuntu and kubuntu? :S
[03:02] <Jarigo> how do i install my wireless networkcard?
[03:02] <gnomefreak> go to the sites listed above for more details

[03:03] <heyjoe1> is there a simple command i can type
[03:03] <usr> can some please help me ?"
[03:03] <heyjoe1> i tried sudo apt-get install  gstreamer0.8-mad
[03:03] <dradul> Zoroaster,  it depends a lot on your needs and tastes. If you are used to Forte Agent in MS Windows, Pan is a good replacement. Else there are others: Evolution, Mozilla Thunderbird, slrn and a few others.
[03:03] <anildigital> How to see linux drives usin windows
[03:04] <anildigital> please tell
[03:04] <ompaul> !tell anildigital about ntfs
[03:04] <Seveas> richard, are you trying apt-get update from the same computer as where your IRC client is on?
[03:04] <henna> stupid question, but how much space does ubuntu need on my harddrive?
[03:04] <henna> (excluding /home)
[03:04] <gnomefreak> ompaul: i dont think thats gonna help him :(
[03:04] <gnomefreak> hes doing reverse
[03:05] <Seveas> richard, and are you using a web proxy?
[03:05] <Frogzoo> heyjoe1: aplay will do it from the command line - amarok is pretty good though
[03:05] <richard> Seveas: yes, i'm trying from the same computer, i use a lan
[03:05] <AMDXP> hi there
[03:05] <Frogzoo> anildigital: install samba
[03:06] <Seveas> richard, the server works fine for me, perhaps you are using a proxy?
[03:06] <engla> I noticed my computer is running slow.. it seems Xorg is grabbing 513M resident memory right now..!! (I have 768M physical) What to do?
[03:06] <Seveas> richard, what do you see if you go to http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openexr/ in your web browser?
[03:06] <engla> Could it be the cairo-clock that does it?
[03:06] <Frogzoo> engla: upgrade your xserver probly
[03:06] <engla> Frogzoo: upgrade to what?
[03:06] <heyjoe1> how can i play mp3s and other useful files not offered on linux? is there a simple command i can type. i tried sudo apt-get install  gstreamer0.8-mad which is on the ubuntu site but it didnt work.
[03:06] <Zoroaster> dradul, I use Outlook Express in windows for news, and I use newsgroups alot
[03:06] <Frogzoo> engla: what's top say? is it the xserver, or an app?
[03:07] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell heyjoe1 about mp3
[03:07] <engla> it doesn't normally do this, never went above 250M before
[03:07] <engla> Frogzoo: it's X
[03:07] <richard> Seveas: denied acces
[03:07] <Frogzoo> engla: well updating xserver to latest never hurts
[03:07] <dradul> Zoroaster, then I'd suggest Pan, or Sylpheed-claws
[03:07] <Frogzoo> engla: what's your vid card?
[03:08] <engla> Frogzoo: I could try.. it's built from CVS now (co in january)
[03:08] <txwikinger2> !tell txwikinger2 about upgrade ubuntu
[03:08] <engla> Frogzoo: ati radeon 9200 Mobility, r200_dri driver
[03:08] <Frogzoo> engla: probly no need to compile - just enable the seveas repo & install fglrx
[03:09] <Seveas> richard, can you make a screenshot of your webbrowser as you are on that page and put it on the pastebin
[03:09] <dradul> Zoroaster, although MozTb has a more similar model to MS-OE, the latter newsreading model is, IMO, a nuisance to say it mildly. (I use slrn, but that may not by your cup of tea ;-))
[03:09] <engla> Frogzoo: nope, on ppc nothing is simple. Compiling again should work
[03:09] <Frogzoo> engla: ah
[03:09] <C-O-L-T> Hello I have got a problem! My sound card was just working ok but two days ago does not work. I checked first my hard things but under windows my soundcard works
[03:09] <C-O-L-T> opinion?
[03:10] <Rubin> probably a conflict between the esound system, and direct access
[03:10] <engla> I'll kill and restart X for now atleast...
[03:10] <Rubin> configure all your applications to play sounds using esound instead of direct
[03:11] <C-O-L-T> Rubin: how to do that
[03:11] <C-O-L-T> ?
[03:11] <rcaskey_> does anyone have a suggestion on a good rss monitor that pops up notifications when sites are updated and lets you click to view the parent web page?
[03:11] <Rubin> C-O-L-T: depends what application.
[03:11] <sugoruyo> please can someone help? i need to get linux up running yesterday and i cant get past half the install, no one have any ideas as to how i can resolve this??
[03:11] <C-O-L-T> Rubin: I have no sound
[03:11] <C-O-L-T> Rubin: at all
[03:11] <Rubin> C-O-L-T: in what program?
[03:12] <richard> Seveas: this is the screnshot http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9787
[03:12] <C-O-L-T> Rubin: in every program. For example when I start ubuntu I can not hear the intromusic
[03:12] <cppnewbie> Rubin: i think he means no sound. nothing nowhere.
[03:12] <Rubin> c
[03:12] <Rubin> C-O-L-T: hmm.
[03:12] <Rubin> C-O-L-T: is the sound system enabled? volume up? etc?
[03:12] <C-O-L-T> Rubin: but a few days ago everything was fine
[03:13] <engla> Frogzoo: after restarting X, it now uses 26M resident :-)
[03:13] <Seveas> richard, that's an error with your proxy server - not an Ubuntu error
[03:13] <Frogzoo> does wine support a network adapter I can snoop (eg. l0phtcrack) ? I have winpcap installed, but there's no adapter visible...
[03:13] <hikenboot> sudo hdparm  -d1 -c1 -u1 /dev/hda   -----gives me --------------HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted------any ideas?
[03:13] <Frogzoo> engla: until it falls over next time :)
[03:13] <C-O-L-T> Rubin: in rythmbox everything is ok\
[03:13] <hikenboot> when its trying to set using_dma to true
[03:13] <Rubin> C-O-L-T: what output method is rythmbox configured to use?
[03:13] <engla> Frogzoo: I suspect a certain eye-candy app. So I'll investigate it
[03:13] <C-O-L-T> Rubin: ok now it works, how stupid I am
[03:14] <Rubin> C-O-L-T: hehe as long as you got it :)
[03:14] <cppnewbie> lol....
[03:14] <Frogzoo> hikenboot: try just 'sudo hdparm  -d1  /dev/hda '
[03:14] <richard> Seveas: ok i will try to contact the administrator.. Thanks for your help
[03:14] <aureus> hi
[03:15] <C-O-L-T> Rubin: Guess I have tried everything, looking for new hardware, everything, except this small thing
[03:15] <aureus> i thought about replacing my bmp with bmpx, is there any repo for it? or must i compile it myself?
[03:15] <Rubin> C-O-L-T: sound can be tricky, dont be hard on yourself
[03:15] <hikenboot> I have a nvidia chipset on an abit nf7-s2g   ---sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/hda gives HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted.....I compiled my own kernel and i think I enabled the nvidia chipset where it had to be
[03:15] <sugoruyo> it says it fails to put the initrd-tools into the target, then gives the absolute path to a non-existent log file...
[03:15] <Rubin> hikenboot: try it with sudo
[03:15] <C-O-L-T> Rubin: hehe :))) It is ok now
[03:16] <aureus> Rubin, he did with sudo :P
[03:16] <hikenboot> I did try it with sudo
[03:16] <C-O-L-T> Rubin: I have  another problem
[03:16] <belou> where can i find the kernel-tree for 2.6.12 kernel?
[03:16] <aureus> belou, kernel.org
[03:16] <hikenboot> its looking for somthing in the kernel which I am not sure what it is
[03:16] <Frogzoo> hikenboot: did you enable DMA in the kernel?
[03:16] <aureus> belou, or what do you mean? it's still available there
[03:16] <hikenboot> I think so I am almost positive i did
[03:17] <belou> aureus, it is not on synaptic
[03:17] <aureus> nobody knowing if there is a repo for bmpx?
[03:17] <Frogzoo> hikenboot: it's very very odd for 'hdparm -d1' to barf on any disk in the last 5 years...
[03:17] <dradul> hikenboot, it may very well be that the board drivers are not loaded. You can figure it out by examinig the output of "dmesg | less". You may need to recompile your kernel.
[03:17] <aureus> belou, ahh i thought you wanted to compile the kernel.
[03:17] <belou> i need to compile my nvidis driver
[03:17] <Seveas> aureus, linux-source-2.6.12
[03:17] <aureus> sad... i'll use bmp
[03:17] <belou> nvidia
[03:17] <C-O-L-T> Rubin: I have both KDE and GNOME but how can I change my KDE start-up screen to GNOME one
[03:17] <C-O-L-T> ?
[03:17] <C-O-L-T> Rubin: do you understand me
[03:17] <hikenboot> where do i find out what board driver it needs ...maybe the one i am using isnt the proper one
[03:18] <Rubin> C-O-L-T: by startup screen, you mean the login?
[03:18] <C-O-L-T> Rubin: that is the point, yes
[03:18] <Rubin> C-O-L-T: gdm is gnomes, kdm is kde's, so install one and uninstall the other
[03:18] <dradul> hikenboot. type "lsmod | less", or did you compile the nvidia drivers statically
[03:19] <C-O-L-T> Rubin: where to change those things
[03:19] <C-O-L-T> ?
[03:19] <S0me1> hi guys ;p
[03:19] <Rubin> C-O-L-T: system -> administration -> synaptec pacage manager
[03:19] <hikenboot> no they were compiled as modules...but i cant be sure I compiled every one of them in the right place is the problem there spread out all over the kernel config and I dont know where there is a list of this kernel parameters for my nf7-s2g abit motherboard
[03:19] <cppnewbie> how can i take a screen of my whole desktop? :S
[03:20] <cppnewbie> *screenshot
[03:20] <C-O-L-T> Rubin: thanks I wil try it soon
[03:20] <AMDXP> ccpnewbie you can use gimp to do it
[03:20] <gnomefreak> cppnewbie: system>screenshot :)
[03:20] <Fracture> cppnewbie: hit print screen
[03:20] <cppnewbie> and on kde? :S
[03:21] <hikenboot> ah wait this might be a clue from dmesg .....NFORCE2-U400R: neither IDE port enabled (BIOS)....is that mean its not enabled in the bios?
[03:21] <gnomefreak> right click on kde i think
[03:21] <Morfosomo> cppnewbie, with the keyboard, press print screen, also from the launcher go system->take snapshot
[03:21] <gnomefreak> its been a while
[03:21] <dradul> hikenboot, I suggest that you recompile the kernel using an ubuntu config as template, adding the extra things you me need (when doing make oldconfig) and using kernel-package to be able to create an installable deb with initrd support.
[03:21] <cppnewbie> print screen didnt work for me. dunno y
[03:21] <Frogzoo> cppnewbie: press the magic 'print' button
[03:21] <Fracture> or ALT-PrintScreen to capture the current window
[03:21] <munzir> Hi, I am reading on http://www.zend.com/products/zend_optimizer/general_faq that php should be compiled without debug support (the default configration of the standard PHP package). You can test if your PHP is non-debug by viewing the output of phpinfo() function. What shall I look for in phpinfo output? Build Debug? or report_zend_debug? or what?
[03:21] <dradul> hikenboot, that should help a lot with hardware detection at boot up time.
[03:21] <heyjoe1> hello, when attempting to use the oft recommended sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins to enable mp3s on ubuntu, i get an error message saying E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[03:21] <heyjoe1> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[03:21] <heyjoe1>  any ideas on how to enable mp3s or fix this problem?
[03:21] <hikenboot> except ubuntu right now doesnt have a xen kernel which is the whole purpose of this mess
[03:21] <Seveas> heyjoe1, close synaptic
[03:22] <Morfosomo> !mp3
[03:22] <ubotu> hmm... mp3 is a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[03:22] <Seveas> ot gnome-app-install or any other package manager
[03:22] <mivecz> DOes  anyone to help me install  e17 in  dapper drake
[03:22] <Seveas> !e
[03:22] <heyjoe1> i typed what it said in the ubotu recommended link
[03:22] <sugoruyo> i think you folks could at least say you cant/wont help me or sth...
[03:22] <gnomefreak> mivecz: please join #ubuntu+1 for dapper related questions
[03:22] <heyjoe1> what is synaptic
[03:22] <dradul> hikenboot, but do start by creating the config template based on an ubuntu kernel. When you use "make oldconfig" you'll be prompted to set up the extra configuration settings after you patch the sources.
[03:22] <Morfosomo> sugoruyo, i didint read your question,. please dont whipp me :)
[03:22] <gnomefreak> heyjoe1: graphical package manager
[03:23] <S0me1> heyjoe1, it's to mange software
[03:23] <hikenboot> ah so copy the .config file to the xen kernel build structure?
[03:23] <S0me1> hi gnomefreak ;p
[03:23] <heyjoe1> i dont think i have it open
[03:23] <gnomefreak> heyjoe1: do you have updates running
[03:23] <S0me1> how are you man
[03:23] <gnomefreak> hi S0me1
[03:23] <gnomefreak> im ok and you?
[03:23] <dradul> hikenboot, yeah!
[03:23] <sugoruyo> yeah well i've been asking for ages and haven't gotten a |dunno|
[03:23] <S0me1> not bad
[03:23] <hikenboot> I didnt know you could do that!
[03:23] <ux> hi2all
[03:23] <heyjoe1> i dont think so
[03:23] <munzir> heyjoe1: then reboot your pc and the first thing you do is to run apt-get install ...
[03:23] <hikenboot> is there directions on it somewhere?
[03:23] <sugoruyo> it says it fails to put the initrd-tools into the target, then gives the absolute path to a non-existent log file...
[03:23] <dradul> hikenboot, ;-D
[03:23] <sugoruyo> when installing
[03:24] <heyjoe1> ok
[03:24] <munzir> Seveas: isn't this a good solution that I gave to heyjoe1? ;)
[03:26] <hikenboot> or is it litterally as simple as copying the config and overwritting the original and the sudo make menuconfig oldconfig ?
[03:26] <fletch33> morning all :) anyone tell me how to turn off one pareticular upgrade alert in synaptic? i dont want to be reminded to upgrade this particular file becuase i like it the way it is.  thanks
[03:26] <hikenboot> also does it have to be the same kernel version...subversion?
[03:27] <heyjoe1> i was just on asking about mp3s and was told to restart and type something in the command line. i forgot what it was?
[03:28] <cwillu> fletch33; looking at force/pinning
[03:28] <Morg> Anyone know what package I should install to get gmake?
[03:28] <Lab0rized> Hello, anyone there know the site www.ubuntuguide.org ?
[03:28] <belou> rhaaa is there someone having nvidia quadro on 2.6.12-10 kernel?
[03:28] <cwillu> !ubuntuguide
[03:28] <ubotu> ubuntuguide is, like, totally, out of date, reported to break a lot and generally a bad source for information. Use help.ubuntu.com or wiki.ubuntu.com instead
[03:28] <cwillu> ya, we know about it :)
[03:28] <fletch33> cwillu,  ? you lost me
[03:29] <cwillu> in synaptic, there's a thing to force a package to stay with a certain major version, or an exact version
[03:29] <dradul> hikenboot, copy the config from your workin kernel in boot and start from there; there is no need that the running kernel and the one you wnt to compile be the same versio, as you are using the config merely as a starting point and the kernel configuration scripts are smart enough to figure out the differences..You can setup versions for the deb package using make-kpkg.
[03:29] <Lab0rized> thanks ubotu. Because i tried their guide to add extra repositories and they where down i think :)
[03:30] <fletch33> cwillu,  k thanks i will look into it
[03:30] <heyjoe1> sorry to ask again, but how can i make ubuntu play mp3s. it wasn't working before when i followed the link
[03:30] <cwillu> fletch33; package -> lock version maybe
[03:30] <dradul> heyjoel, install gstreamer0.8-mad if using Breezy.
[03:30] <fletch33> cwillu,  going there now
[03:31] <hikenboot> no kidding ...wow....thats great thanks!
[03:31] <heyjoe1> i tried that and it said install: too few arguments
[03:31] <heyjoe1> Try `install --help' for more information.
[03:31] <heyjoe1> frank@ubuntu:~$
[03:31] <port7> just wanna say Xgl is damn cool
[03:31] <port7> not sure what use it is, but damn cool!
[03:31] <dradul> hikenboot, ;-)
[03:31] <Morg> Anyone know how to install gmake in Ubuntu?
[03:31] <fletch33> cwillu,  well i locked it so we will see what happens. thnkas
[03:32] <cwillu> port7, you've just volunteered to help me get it working in #ubuntu+1 :p
[03:32] <port7> heh
[03:32] <cwillu> fletch33; lol, hope so;  everything should be using the same settings, so it should apply to the update manager too
[03:32] <Frogzoo> !buildessential
[03:32] <ubotu> NO SPEAKE ENLISH! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Frogzoo
[03:32] <port7> cwillu: i just followed the instructions on the forum pretty much
[03:32] <Frogzoo> !build-essential
[03:32] <ubotu> it has been said that build-essential is a meta package for software building see !gcc for more info
[03:32] <dradul> heyjoel, use synaptic, or "sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-mad"
[03:33] <Frogzoo> Morg: install pkg 'build-essential'
[03:33] <Morg> Frogzoo: It's not in build-essential, if that's for me.
[03:33] <dradul> heyjoel, you need to enable the Universe reposotories (and the Multiverse asz well to be in the safe side".
[03:33] <Frogzoo> no? hmmm...
[03:33] <S0me1> heyjoe1, try sudo apt-setup
[03:33] <zeitfalle> apt-get install make
[03:33] <hikenboot> dradul: it looks like the configs are called config-2.6.12-9-386....is that the right file...I simply rename it to .config?
[03:33] <heyjoe1> dradul, when i tried that it said E: Type 'Major' is not known on line 7 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:33] <heyjoe1> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[03:33] <Morg> zeitfalle: make does not install gmake
[03:34] <dradul> hikenboot, just type make oldconfig, or make menuconfig, the configurationscripts will pick up the configuration file of the running server.
[03:34] <zeitfalle> Ok, it does on my debian box
[03:34] <zeitfalle> Sorry can't help then
[03:34] <heyjoe1> somel, when i tried your advice it asked for a cd rom
[03:34] <heyjoe1> how do i use synaptic to get what i want?
[03:34] <hikenboot> ah...the light turns on so thats what make oldconfig does...I miss understood...wow this has been really great thanks a lot!
[03:35] <nelson_> hola
[03:35] <S0me1> heyjoe1, you must put source for APT fisrt
[03:35] <dradul> heyjoel, that's very strange. Did you edit sources.list by hand?
[03:35] <cwillu> heyjoel; were you connected to the internet when you install ubuntu?
[03:35] <S0me1> heyjoe1, by sudo apt-setup  you will setup apt source but choose HTTP not CD
[03:35] <Frogzoo> Morg: guess pkg 'make' will do it
[03:36] <heyjoe1> i didnt install ubuntu myself
[03:36] <Morg> Frogzoo: It's already installed
[03:36] <heyjoe1> i edited something by hand
[03:36] <heyjoe1> i had to delete #s from some file
[03:36] <cwillu> heyjoel, check /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure it's got http sources listed
[03:36] <cwillu> and probably remove the cdrom sources (put a # before them to disable)
[03:36] <nickrud> heyjoe1: you removed too many ## ;)
[03:36] <Frogzoo> Morg: so what's the problem?
[03:36] <Jubei> hi guys. I'm having a bit of trouble with my monitor. X11 doesn't seem to respond to the modes I've listed in xorg.conf, any ideas why?
[03:36] <heyjoe1> permission denied
[03:37] <heyjoe1> what can i do for removing too many ##s
[03:37] <Morg> Frogzoo: Someone's telling me to use 'gmake' instead of 'make'. Are they full of it?
[03:37] <davalex> Is there made any iso images for drapy draker?
[03:37] <Frogzoo> make --version
[03:37] <Frogzoo> GNU Make 3.80
[03:37] <sugoruyo> is there anyone who knows if it can be done? is anyone reading this and my previous msgs? cant someone respond? am i forced to live without linux or go buy a new pc? ffs is linux any different or jsut a harder to use widows clone?
[03:37] <cwillu> heyjoel;  gotta open it via sudo;  be careful, you can break things
[03:37] <Frogzoo> Morg: as always, it depends - but the stock make is gnu
[03:38] <cwillu> "terminal|sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[03:38] <nickrud> heyjoe1: if you could paste the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list to paste.ubuntu-nl.org, I'll take a look; use gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:38] <cwillu> ah, I always forget about gksudo :)
[03:38] <elkbuntu> sugoruyo, calm down will you. there's more than just you in the channel needing help
[03:38] <Frogzoo> Morg: you might also need pkg 'makedepend'
[03:38] <nickrud> I still have some bumps from the masters reminding me
[03:38] <tushkee> heyjoe1: do type: sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup
[03:39] <sugoruyo> i been in here four hours
[03:39] <heyjoe1> frank@ubuntu:~$ /etc/apt/sources.list to paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[03:39] <heyjoe1> bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied
[03:39] <heyjoe1> frank@ubuntu:~$ gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:39] <heyjoe1> (gedit:8578): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
[03:39] <heyjoe1> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[03:39] <sugoruyo> with a very specific question
[03:39] <tushkee> heyjoe1: then do: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:39] <sugoruyo> i have an urgent problem
[03:39] <tushkee> heyjoe1: that will let you edit it
[03:39] <cwillu> sugoruyo; there are companies that will sell you personal expert support :)
[03:39] <heyjoe1> its not letting me by the looks of things
[03:39] <elkbuntu> sugoruyo, you've just come in on the back of a quiet time when it's mostly people with their own problems talking
[03:39] <tushkee> try sudo instead of gksudo
[03:40] <sugoruyo> and noone is even responding beyond update your bios, use the disc for your arch and read non-existent wiki pages
[03:40] <S0me1> heyjoe1, sudo  /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:40] <cwillu> sugoruyo; I think there are guide that you might be able to find on google to create a local deb repository
[03:40] <sugoruyo> on mac os x?
[03:40] <sugoruyo> or windows?
[03:40] <Frogzoo> for anyone interested - apparently nic snooping is beyond wine - so that fixes my problem :)
[03:40] <sugoruyo> i dont have second linux machine
[03:40] <cwillu> the archives don't care about platform
[03:40] <heyjoe1> nothings happening
[03:40] <S0me1> heyjoe1, when you put sudo before any command in ubuntu tha's mean you are have root
[03:40] <sugoruyo> that's what i'm talking about all this time
[03:40] <S0me1> root=admin
[03:40] <heyjoe1> ok lets start from the top
[03:41] <tushkee> nothing happens when you "sudo gedit" a file?
[03:41] <heyjoe1> i might be a little confused
[03:41] <tushkee> not even an error?
[03:41] <nickrud> heyjoe1: open your browser to paste.ubuntu-nl.org 
[03:41] <cwillu> sugoruyo; if you can get an ftp or http server running, all that matters is that the right files are in the right folders, and that you point the installer to the right url :p
[03:41] <sugoruyo> ok
[03:41] <sugoruyo> step 1: what files should be where?
[03:41] <sugoruyo> step 2: how do i point the installer to the right url?
[03:42] <heyjoe1> ok i did the gedit thing
[03:42] <heyjoe1> and now a new window has opened up
[03:42] <S0me1> heyjoe1, cool :p
[03:42] <heyjoe1> would u like me to copy whats inside
[03:42] <sugoruyo> so far i've not received a single hint as to whether it is possible, only a link to wiki page that asks me to create it
[03:42] <sugoruyo> that's why im pissed
[03:42] <tushkee> yeah edit that
[03:42] <davalex> Anyonw?
[03:42] <tushkee> i hope you did backup your sources.list first
[03:42] <sugoruyo> cause basically i need this done yesterday
[03:42] <nickrud> heyjoe1: yes, paste that on the paste site

[03:45] <jose__> what is the simplest method to go about finding a fixed point on a continuous function?
[03:45] <elkbuntu> hmm i'm missing the codec for the media on that page it seems...
[03:45] <XVampireX> Can't wait for Ubuntu to arrive... My CDR's are either broken or unplugged :P
[03:45] <cwillu> sugoruyo; just trying to figure out how much I can assume you know
[03:45] <jose__> sorry, wrong channel
[03:45] <GTX> !info par
[03:46] <liable> sugoruyo: yes, it is possible. let me see if i can try and find a link
[03:46] <XVampireX> Do you like penguins?
[03:46] <GTX> How do I use pars to fix broken files
[03:46] <ubotu> par: (Paragraph reformatter), section universe/text, is optional. Version: 1.51-1 (breezy), Packaged size: 39 kB, Installed size: 120 kB
[03:46] <sugoruyo> cwillu, so what does that say about me?
[03:46] <sugoruyo> cwillu, i'm not really interested in how windows works internally
[03:47] <concept10> when I add info to /etc/hosts, do I have to reload something in order for the added hosts to become recognized?
[03:47] <sugoruyo> cwillu, i basically need linux to be up and running and updated by friday
[03:47] <XVampireX> Are there no social conversations in this channel?
[03:47] <cwillu> xvlun; basically no :p

[03:48] <XVampireX> cwillu: Need to open up a social channel for ubuntu then
[03:48] <concept10> XVampireX, why would someone want to have a social conversation
[03:48] <cwillu> #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:48] <nickrud> XVampireX: #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:48] <cwillu> sugoruyo; did you see the google link?
[03:48] <XVampireX> Because it's cool
[03:48] <cwillu> I don't know that it's got a link for you, but that's basically what you're looking for
[03:48] <johndarkhorse> XVampireX: you can be cool in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:49] <S0me1> GTX, run synaptix > edit > fix
[03:49] <elkbuntu> cwillu, i think he just ignored my assistance
[03:49] <cppnewbie> how can someone use proxies on linux? :S
[03:49] <nickrud> concept10: no, you don't
[03:50] <sugoruyo> cwillu, i'm checkin out the repo howto
[03:50] <cwillu> elkbuntu; or he just saw it (it was right before that paste dump) and is looking at it :)
[03:50] <sugoruyo> from debian.org
[03:50] <cwillu> k
[03:50] <heyjoe2> ok, im very sorry for pasting into the channel
[03:50] <nickrud> heyjoe2: , live and learn 
[03:50] <heyjoe2> i didnt know where to paste
[03:50] <concept10> nickrud, thanks
[03:50] <cwillu> no worries, we may even forget about the incident in a year or two
[03:50] <heyjoe2> ok, so where should i paste my sources.list?
[03:50] <aboyousif> hello , what is the root pasword for ubuntu :)
[03:50] <XVampireX> Even though I respect that there is a social channel but it doesn't seem that social, since no one is talking. LOL!
[03:51] <cwillu> !paste
[03:51] <ubotu> Don't flood the channel! Please use the pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ or the channel #flood to paste large amount of text.
[03:51] <cwillu> sugoruyo; it should basically be a matter of copying the data off the cd into appropriately named folders
[03:51] <Mandible> root password is the same as the first user you made
[03:51] <dradul> heyjoe2, you can create a new sources.list that includes all the known good repositories by using the tool at http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[03:51] <cwillu> sugoruyo; might be able to get an idea of what it should look like if you put one of the deb source http:// lines into your browser
[03:51] <S0me1> brb
[03:52] <aboyousif> Mandible, thanks alot
[03:52] <nickrud> heyjoe2: but, we saw them already. You need to rebuild them. The simplest way is to simply replace them with the ones inhttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 and go from there
[03:52] <belou> is someone has compiled nvidia driver with 2.6.12-10 kernel?
[03:52] <gnomefreak> what would e17 show up as in syanptic?
[03:52] <nickrud> heyjoe2: once you've done that, remove the # from lines 19 & 20, and add the word multiverse at the ends of lines 19 & 20
[03:53] <cwillu> gnomefreak; I just looked up wm I think
[03:53] <cwillu> ewm?
[03:53] <heyjoe2> ok i went to that website the source o matic one
[03:53] <gnomefreak> ok ty
[03:53] <heyjoe2> and i followed the instructions and i got a bunch of information
[03:53] <heyjoe2> what do i do with it
[03:53] <XVampireX> Hey, it's kinda off-topic but I found this website on DIGG: http://euronode.com
[03:53] <heyjoe2> ok just read nickrud
[03:54] <heyjoe2> theres no # on lines 19 and 20
[03:54] <heyjoe2> and multiverse is already there
[03:54] <Frogzoo> !e17
[03:54] <Frogzoo> nooooo......
[03:55] <heyjoe2> should i just copy that into my sources.list file and save it?
[03:55] <gnomefreak> the bot might not know it
[03:55] <nickrud> heyjoe2: yeah, so they are. Not quite official, actually better.
[03:55] <nickrud> heyjoe2: yes
[03:55] <Frogzoo> root_: irc under root is an extremely bad idea...
[03:55] <heyjoe2> ok
[03:55] <heyjoe2> so just to confirm
[03:56] <heyjoe2> im deleting all the other information and pasting the info from the website
[03:56] <heyjoe2> then saving?
[03:56] <cppnewbie> how can someone use proxies on ubuntu :D ? :S
[03:56] <nickrud> heyjoe2: yes
[03:56] <heyjoe2> thank you so much
[03:56] <Frogzoo> cppnewbie: you configure the proxy in the app, yes?
[03:56] <nickrud> heyjoe2: you gotta have good sources ;)
[03:56] <cppnewbie> i dunno
[03:56] <heyjoe2> now back to the original question: how can i play mp3s and the other files that linux wont let me?
[03:56] <cppnewbie> :p
[03:57] <cppnewbie> heyjoe2 http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[03:57] <nickrud> heyjoe2: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[03:57] <snowblink> !tell aboyousif about sudo
[03:57] <heyjoe2> ok
[03:57] <nickrud> slow
[03:57] <cppnewbie> :D
[03:57] <dradul> heyjoe2, open a terminal and type without the quotes: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-mad"
[03:57] <cwillu> sugoruyo; any progress?
[03:57] <nickrud> heyjoe2: start at the top, and work your way down. That'll get you set up for most media
[03:58] <sugoruyo> cwillu, slow
[03:58] <heyjoe2> hey it seems to be working. thanks dradul
[03:58] <ubuntu_> nenas
[03:58] <ubuntu_> kachondonas
[03:58] <cwillu> did you ever give noapic a shot?
[03:58] <sugoruyo> cwillu, me?
[03:59] <heyjoe2> next question, i just plugged a thumbdrive into my usb port. how do i access it?
[03:59] <cwillu> yse
[03:59] <cwillu> yes
[03:59] <sugoruyo> cwillu, not since i couldn't get someone to tell me the parameter i need
[03:59] <sugoruyo> cwillu, and it's not on the help of the installer
[04:00] <cwillu> noapic on the kernel prompt
[04:00] <cwillu> okay
[04:00] <sugoruyo> cwillu, just like that?
[04:00] <cwillu> been a while since I played with it
[04:00] <nickrud> heyjoe2: I don't have a thumb drive, but i think it should show up under places on the top menu bar
[04:00] <ompaul> !bootoptions
[04:00] <ubotu> bootoptions is, like, totally, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootOptions not the full complement of boot options but it is some of them
[04:00] <cwillu> believe so, if you google it, you should get some hits
[04:00] <cwillu> nevermind
[04:00] <ompaul> cwillu, ^^^^^
[04:00] <cppnewbie> when my name is somebody's line i get a beep! any way to disable this? :S
[04:00] <cwillu> what ompaul said
[04:00] <cwillu> nevermind; _do_ what ompaul said :)
[04:00] <cwillu> why does everything I say come out wrong the first time?
[04:01] <fluxy> Hello. I am making a presentation on linux. Does anyone have an idea where I could get flash/impress presentations on ubuntu?
[04:01] <ompaul> cwillu, look at the wiki at PaulsKludge it also helps - gotta log off
[04:01] <heyjoe2> doesnt appear to be there
[04:01] <ramlez> if  i used command apt-get upgrade i will  have installed ale updates?
[04:01] <cwillu> sugoruyo; what ompaul said
[04:01] <cwillu> the wiki can be a bit weird;  if it says no such page, look at the right column for the page name
[04:02] <nickrud> ramlez: if you did apt-get update first, yes
[04:02] <ramlez> nickrud, :) thx
[04:02] <sugoruyo> is it possible it's an apic problem since some distros and live-cd freeze up on something about IRQ 16 or 11?
[04:03] <cwillu> sugoruyo; I honestly don't know, but it sounds suspicious
[04:03] <sugoruyo> cwillu, i'll give it a shot, tnx
[04:03] <gnomefreak> wm and enlightenment the same?
[04:03] <gnomefreak> wm = windos maker
[04:03] <cwillu> no
[04:03] <gnomefreak> ok so no interchanging apps than
[04:04] <johndarkhorse> gnomefreak: i don't understand. 'entrance' is the WM iirc of enlightenment
[04:04] <gnomefreak> johndarkhorse: it is the login screen for it
[04:04] <GTX> hi I want to mount my 2nd hdd to another directory on my server, The problem is the 1st directory its mounted to his alot of stuff in it. and I want to mount it to another user to store big files, but when I mount it to there folder unfortanly it just shows everything which I had in my 1st folder of course, how can I make something like /dev/sdb1/2nddir/ then I could mount that and it would be empty.
[04:05] <gnomefreak> but what i meant is window maker apps run on enlightenment?
[04:05] <gnomefreak> will*
[04:06] <cwillu> GTX, mkdir the folder you want to mount it in, and then mount it there
[04:06] <sugoruyo> cwillu, ok so the thing about the repo says i should use some dpkg command, but i'm on a mac so? is the directory tree on the dvd ready for use or do i have to manually create the one needed?
[04:06] <GTX> cwillu, explain :S
[04:07] <GTX> cwillu, I did that but then it displays everything on the 1st directory.
[04:07] <cwillu> gtx; are the files you don't want to see already on the second hd?
[04:07] <GTX> correct.
[04:07] <GTX> and I want them to stay there
[04:07] <dbzdeath> is there any way to stop memory leaks? i'm sick of coming to my pc after a while and finding that my pc is almost completely out of ram and it takes me 10 mins to kill the application responsible because it's so slow
[04:07] <cwillu> ahh, I get it
[04:07] <GTX> indeed hehe
[04:07] <cwillu> you want to mount the hd in two places, with two seperate partions, basically?
[04:08] <cwillu> sugoruyo; I'm not dead sure
[04:08] <GTX> cwillu, I guess thats how you say it yes.
[04:08] <heyjoe2> hi, another question, im trying to access my usb thumbdrive and it is not appearing anywhere in 'places'
[04:08] <heyjoe2> i plugged my mp3 player into the usb and its drive automatically loaded. any idea how to fix it?
[04:09] <cwillu> sugoruyo; peek at a normal web accesible repository and see if the files are the same types
[04:09] <engla> Hmm.. my ipod does not mount automatically. How do I mount it? Does it depend on hotplug?
[04:09] <cwillu> GTX, you might want to investigate hard links
[04:09] <cwillu> I _think_ that's what you want
[04:09] <nickrud> GTX: you might want to try using the --bind option to mount
[04:09] <GTX> exlain nickrud
[04:09] <engla> I can see the ipod with lshw.. but how do I find out which /dev it is?
[04:10] <cwillu> for anyone who might know better:  what I'm think is that he would make a dir on his homedrive mount, and make a hardlink elsewhere to that folder that gives others access to the subdir;  is this even close to right?
[04:10] <nickrud> GTX: it allows you to mount a subdir of your second drive to a location on your first drive. I've used it a couple of times (academically)
[04:11] <liable> engla: dmesg might give a clue
[04:11] <engla> liable: not much.. I have "usb 4-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
[04:11] <GTX> nickrud, Ok how would I do that if I wanted to mount /dev/sdb1 to /home/metroid/public_html/files/ but I dont want it showing exactly what is in /dev/sdb1 as thats where my files are.
[04:12] <engla> and "usb-storage: device found at 3"
[04:12] <liable> then it doesnt look like its given it a /dev. i dont know anything about them. surely google has something to say about ipods and linux?
[04:13] <nickrud> GTX: I'd create a dir below the top level on sdb1, and bind mount that dir to .../files/ .
[04:13] <drezha> why wont my DVD's play? what do I hvae to download to get them to work?
[04:13] <GTX> nickrud, Ok, how could I do this, if you could go through it step by step, I am very new on mounting stuff :p
[04:13] <HymnToLife> !dvd
[04:13] <ubotu> DVD playing is possible in ubuntu. You may need libdvdcss2, which is available via http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages (section extras)
[04:13] <cribbon> hrm, what program should i use to split a 800 mb movie to get it on a 700 cd ? ( would be rar on windows, what should i use here ? ( gui please ))
[04:14] <heyjoe2> can ubuntu search for thumbdrives?
[04:14] <cwillu> sugoruyo; http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/Linux/Linux_Setup/Q_21433112.html has something that might be useful;
[04:14] <nickrud> GTX: heh. I'd have to relearn the exact steps. I hate saying this, but man mount and searching for --bind would probably be smarter 
[04:15] <GTX> nickrud, Ive already looked at that still have no idea what to do
[04:15] <liable> rar to split a movie? try avidemux
[04:15] <drezha> so how do I get that DVD thing downloaded?
[04:15] <cppnewbie> who controls ubotu in here? who made the infobot? :S
[04:16] <liable> cppnewbie: cafuego
[04:16] <HymnToLife> cppnewbie> anyone an make an infoox
[04:16] <HymnToLife> can*
[04:16] <cppnewbie> i cant lol :p
[04:16] <HymnToLife> yes you can
[04:16] <HymnToLife> pm me :)
[04:16] <HymnToLife> I'll tell you how
[04:17] <nickrud> GTX: mount your sdb1 to it's normal place (not .../files/) ; then sudo mount --bind /path/to/sdb1/subdir .../files should work
[04:17] <HymnToLife> !ntfs
[04:17] <ubotu> I guess ntfs is the filesystem used in Windows 2000 and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[04:19] <cwillu> all I wanted was a cup of coffee
[04:20] <cwillu> all I got was spoiled milk in that coffee
[04:20] <engla> My ipod doesn't want to get a device node in /dev why? Can I create one manually?
[04:20] <nickrud> cwillu: that was not the last cup, I hope
[04:20] <sugoruyo> cwillu, it says i have to subscribe
[04:20] <GTX> Thanks nickrud got it working
[04:20] <GTX> ;D
[04:20] <edulix> hi! drupal or php in general doesn't seem to succeed sending the confirmation email
[04:21] <edulix> how can I configure my ubuntu/apache/php5 correctly?
[04:21] <nickrud> GTX: glad to hear it. Luckily, it was simple enough I remembered enough 
[04:21] <cwillu> sugoruyo; scroll down
[04:21] <HymnToLife> !php
[04:21] <ubotu> it has been said that 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
[04:21] <cwillu> sugoruyo; 'bout 2 thirds of the way down it starts getting useful
[04:21] <johndarkhorse> ubotu: tell edulix about lamp
[04:22] <bSON> hi
[04:22] <bSON> does somebody here use anjuta?
[04:22] <sugoruyo> cwillu, you mean the directory structures?
[04:22] <cwillu> sugoruyo; note, this implies that you can get at least to a command prompt
[04:22] <edulix> let's see this lamp thingie - I had searched in google for ubuntu lamp without much success
[04:23] <cwillu> sugoruyo; were you talking about the expertexchange link?
[04:23] <johndarkhorse> edulix: check your priv msgs
[04:23] <sugoruyo> cwillu, yes
[04:23] <[blah] > why does my scrollwheel stop working?
[04:23] <cwillu> search the page for 'accepted answer'
[04:23] <drezha> hum...better try SUSE again...
[04:23] <cwillu> sugoruyo; have you been able to get to a command prompt at least?
[04:23] <edulix> johndarkhorse: in that webpage that ubotu gave me there's no info about configuring mail/sendmail or whatever
[04:24] <sugoruyo> cwillu, where? you mean the linux installer?
[04:24] <cwillu> a linux command prompt, yes
[04:24] <SirKillalot> does someone know a linux compatible TV card for digital sattelite?
[04:25] <sugoruyo> i guess alt+ctrl+f2 should do the job while i'm on the installer
[04:25] <johndarkhorse> edulix: 09:21 < edulix> how can I configure my ubuntu/apache/php5 correctly?  <<< i don't see anyting about sendmail here. i answered your question
[04:25] <cwillu> okay, ya, wasn't sure if you were even getting that far
[04:25] <ufo> SirKillalot: why not buy an digibox with linux... dreambox
[04:25] <cwillu> (btw, nopaic gave the same problem?)
[04:25] <sugoruyo> cwillu, the experts... page don't have an accepted answer reference
[04:26] <edulix> johndarkhorse: sorry that was my fault then ;)

[04:27] <heyjoe2> is that what i should go to
[04:27] <heyjoe2> cwillu?
[04:27] <cwillu> no, that was for sugor :p
[04:27] <cwillu> sorry
[04:27] <cwillu> heyjoe2; does it work if you have it plugged in while you boot?
[04:27] <heyjoe2> no probs
[04:27] <heyjoe2> i dont know
[04:28] <heyjoe2> should i restart my computer and try?
[04:28] <cwillu> worth a shot
[04:28] <cwillu> detection works differently iirc at boot
[04:28] <heyjoe2> ok

[04:32] <edulix> johndarkhorse: now it seems that it's working, thanks for your help, bye!
[04:32] <ruzgar> HymnToLife can you write an example code?
[04:33] <trappist> HymnToLife: so I should be able to untar what that installs, cd into it and do a make-kpkg and end up with the same kernel I'm running?

[04:34] <heyjoe2> how do i get to synaptic
[04:34] <heyjoe2> ?
[04:34] <trappist> why are there not different packages to distinguish between, say, 2.6.15-15 and 2.6.15-17
[04:34] <HymnToLife> ruzgar> the man ln page is pretty clear I think
[04:34] <cwillu> system|admin|synaptic package manager
[04:34] <cwillu> or gksudo synaptic from run app
[04:34] <ruzgar> HymnToLife i dont understand very well from man page but i'll try thanks
[04:34] <HymnToLife> to creaty symlinks it's somethink like (sudo) ln-s /path/do/dir /parth/to/link
[04:35] <bipolar> am I not suposed to be able to use auto-apt search to find out what package provides a file? auto-apt search samba.schema.gz returns no results when I know for a fact it is installed. :\
[04:35] <ruzgar> ok thanks
[04:35] <johndarkhorse> ubotu: tell heyjoe2 about synaptic
[04:35] <HymnToLife> ln -s*
[04:36] <trappist> HymnToLife: yeah linux-source-* doesn't look like the package I'm looking for
[04:36] <HymnToLife> [16:34]  trappist why are there not different packages to distinguish between, say, 2.6.15-15 and 2.6.15-17 <= lhe lats Ubuntu patched kernel is 2.6.12-10 afaik
[04:36] <HymnToLife> latest*
[04:36] <cwillu> sugoruyo; nothing at that link!?
[04:36] <trappist> HymnToLife: ok those are dapper versions, but the same question with different digits applies to breezy.
[04:36] <sugoruyo> cwillu, the experts exchange one?
[04:36] <cwillu> yes
[04:37] <cwillu> (btw, do _not_ click the view solution button!)
[04:37] <HymnToLife> well I dunno
[04:37] <HymnToLife> never messed with the kernel since 2.4.27-3 on Debian :p
[04:37] <sugoruyo> cwillu, what should i do exactly?
[04:37] <trappist> HymnToLife: I'm beginning to suspect there is no answer.  /me files a bug report.
[04:38] <cwillu> scroll down
[04:38] <cwillu> what browser are you using?
[04:38] <heyjoe2> does synaptic have limewire?

[04:40] <cwillu> ahh
[04:40] <cwillu> safari might be breaking the site
[04:40] <nickrud> dooglus: ~/.Trash
[04:40] <cwillu> do you have access to just about anything but safari?
[04:40] <cwillu> mozilla, firefox, seamonkey all work
[04:40] <dooglus> nickrud: I mean using nautilus
[04:40] <cwillu> i.e. works, but you probably don't have that
[04:40] <sugoruyo> opera shiira firefox explorer
[04:40] <cwillu> try firefox

[04:42] <sugoruyo> cwillu, now i see some comments...
[04:43] <cwillu> okay
[04:43] <cwillu> the accepted answer has a couple possibilities;  I believe there's one about ftp on windows
[04:43] <cwillu> which should be basically the same on a mac
[04:43] <dooglus> I'm having trouble trying to view remote windows shares
[04:43] <heyjoe2> im trying to run limewire but it wont open because its an rpm file. is opening it in synaptic an alternative possibility? or do i have to enable rpm files? if so, how do i do this?
[04:43] <dooglus> just now I was able to view a share using nautilus, but now it's asking me for a password.
[04:44] <exono_> hi
[04:44] <framirez> hi
[04:44] <dooglus> I didn't change anything, locally or remotely.  so why the change?
[04:44] <gnomefreak> !limewire
[04:44] <ubotu> first you need !java, then download the http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and unpack it. Then just run the runLime.sh file. Voila. Consider !frostwire as an alternative.
[04:44] <zAo^> who can help me with a internet radio station?

[04:45] <heyjoe2> blackdown?
[04:45] <gnomefreak> heyjoe2: enable multiverse and use synaptic to grab blackdown
[04:45] <sugoruyo> cwillu, its a bunch of commands but where are those to be run?
[04:46] <heyjoe2> gnomefreak: how do i enable multiverse
[04:46] <HymnToLife> !terminal
[04:46] <heyjoe2> !terminal
[04:46] <sugoruyo> i mean the dpkg-... was my problem with the HOWTO as well

[04:46] <framirez> how can i move from kubuntu to ubuntu?
[04:46] <sugoruyo> cwillu, it's not possible to do that under windoze
[04:46] <HymnToLife> framirez> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:46] <framirez> thanks
[04:47] <cwillu> sugoruyo;  there's two options listed in that answer
[04:47] <zuyock> is there a native package for JBoss 4.
[04:47] <sugoruyo> cwillu, yeah now i got it
[04:48] <cwillu> :p
[04:48] <sugoruyo> cwillu, he talks either about setting up a repo or an ftp
[04:48] <cwillu> yes
[04:48] <sugoruyo> cwillu, so putting the contents of the cdrom under a dir  which is accessible via anynymous ftp
[04:48] <robertalexander> im trying to set my friend up with ubuntu. he's having trouble using gaim messenger to connect to msn. it says there's some kind of port block. does anyone have any ideas? he was able to connect to msn with windows messenger before
[04:48] <cwillu> sugoruyo; might do the trick
[04:49] <sugoruyo> cwillu, should allow me to install?
[04:49] <sugoruyo> cwillu, what about the can't put initrd-tools on target disk complaint?
[04:49] <HymnToLife> robertalexander> certainly some kind of router/firewall problem
[04:49] <ugha> exit
[04:50] <robertalexander> hymntolife, do you have any ideas how to sort it? he connects on a university campus network
[04:50] <HymnToLife> robertalexander> is it behind a proxy ?
[04:51] <robertalexander> i think so yes
[04:51] <HymnToLife> then configure GAIM to use the proxy :)
[04:51] <robertalexander> how do i do that?
[04:52] <[blah] > are there any good games for ubuntu?
[04:52] <cwillu> sugoruyo; don't know, could be the cd is bad (bad download, etc, check the md5 signatures), could be the hd actually is faulty, another bios issue, who knows
[04:52] <katie> why is it sound works great when booting to the ubuntu live cd but not when booting to my installed version?
[04:52] <babo> Hi guys, I need some info on the bash 'read' fucnction .. no there is no man page. And I can't seem to find any info on it
[04:52] <sugoruyo> hmmmm
[04:52] <Ng> babo: it'll be in the bash man page
[04:53] <Ng> albeit very hard to find because of its unhelpfully generic name
[04:53] <heyjoe2> which java package should i grab from synaptic for limewire?
[04:53] <gnomefreak> blackdown
[04:53] <heyjoe2> i cant find it
[04:53] <gnomefreak> heyjoe2: search for java it will be in that section
[04:53] <Lillismannen> #ubuntu.se
[04:53] <cwillu> I'd make sure the cd is good (md5 check it, don't just try another cd), see if the hd is good (can you install onto that hd in a different computer?), the various kernel flags
[04:54] <heyjoe2> theres java common?
[04:54] <gnomefreak> heyjoe2: yes
[04:54] <sugoruyo> cwillu, how can i check the md5 sigs of the disc?
[04:54] <Ng> babo: if you call up the bash man page and then type "/^SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS" it'll skip to the right section, then you can do "/^ *read " to find the read command :)
[04:54] <heyjoe2> thanks
[04:54] <gnomefreak> heyjoe2: you will still need a java package i think
[04:54] <babo> Ng: thanks
[04:54] <heyjoe2> should i mark it for reinstallation
[04:54] <katie> can anyone explain why is it sound works great when booting to the ubuntu live cd but not when booting to my installed version?
[04:55] <gnomefreak> mark what for re-install?
[04:55] <heyjoe2> the java package
[04:55] <heyjoe2> thats the option i get
[04:55] <gnomefreak> j2re?
[04:55] <cwillu> sugor, two things
[04:55] <bipolar> anyone know how to create random ascii from the command line? /dev/random is binary, I need ascii.
[04:55] <cwillu> !md5
[04:55] <ubotu> it has been said that md5 is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VerifyIsoHowto
[04:55] <heyjoe2> javacommon
[04:55] <halpo> how do i get wlan work on ubuntu
[04:56] <gnomefreak> no just grab j2re1.4 blackdown now
[04:56] <[blah] > anybody know any good games for ubuntu?
[04:56] <gnomefreak> !games
[04:56] <ubotu> games is probably http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=5153 or http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Loki_Installers_for_Linux_Gamers  News http://www.linux-gamers.net/
[04:56] <cwillu> and people make very poor linux terminals
[04:56] <[blah] > thanks gnomefreak
[04:56] <heyjoe2> ah ok
[04:56] <cwillu> this means:  I can't, and won't try, to look every damn thing up for you (:))
[04:56] <heyjoe2> i didnt see that one initially. thanks
[04:57] <cwillu> even though that's exactly what I've been doing for the last 2 hours
[04:57] <Itze_> hey there. Can someone tell me, how i change my desktop from gnome to kde, after getting the kubuntu-desktop package via apt-get?
[04:57] <HymnToLife> Itze_> on the login screen
[04:57] <HymnToLife> you hae a Sessions thing, choose KDE
[04:57] <heyjoe2> !limewire
[04:57] <ubotu> first you need !java, then download the http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and unpack it. Then just run the runLime.sh file. Voila. Consider !frostwire as an alternative.
[04:57] <Itze_> ..ahhh. Thanks :)
[04:57] <halpo> how do i get wlan work on ubuntu
[04:58] <cwillu> please realize, I just spent _two_hours_ working for free
[04:58] <HymnToLife> !wireless
[04:58] <ubotu> methinks wireless is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards if it does not work out of the box https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper windows drivers
[04:58] <katie> anybody know how one might be able to rip sound settings from a live session?
[04:58] <cwillu> granted, I'm willingly procrastinating from other work... :p
[04:58] <tulio2> i have got windows and ubuntu installed
[04:58] <sugoruyo> cwillu, are you talking to me?
[04:58] <cwillu> yes :)
[04:58] <HymnToLife> katie> you mean rip a CD ?
[04:58] <jenda> hey, is there a way to minimise a full screen game and return to the desktop? NWN in particular. Something like what Alt Tab would do in *shudder* windows.
[04:58] <tulio2> i have got windows and ubuntu installed, but i installed ubuntu with no boot loader, because i want to create a floppy boot disk, how i do that ?
[04:59] <sugoruyo> cwillu, didn't really realize how time went by sorry :(
[04:59] <cwillu> lol
[04:59] <HymnToLife> jenda> tried Alt+Tab ?
[04:59] <cwillu> it happens
[04:59] <jenda> HymnToLife: yes, thank you very much :) It doesn't work.
[04:59] <sugoruyo> cwillu, it's just you're actually the only one who answered, noone else did
[04:59] <sugoruyo> cwillu, not even with a "dunno"
[04:59] <HymnToLife> I don't know then :/
[05:00] <heyjoe2> i just downloaded the zip file from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and an error message saying  "an error occurred while loading the archive"
[05:00] <cwillu> sugoruyo; I mean more in terms of, when you don't quite understand the answer, do a mini research on it before you ask what I meant
[05:00] <heyjoe2> anything else i can do to get limewire to work
[05:00] <cwillu> that's why I was asking about your compentency before;  I was wondering at what point you'd be able to figure things out yourself :)
[05:00] <katie> i installed breezy ubuntu but can't get sound to work
[05:00] <katie> so i boot to a live cd and sound works great. wtf??
[05:01] <heyjoe2> !frostwire
[05:01] <ubotu> frostwire is probably a free peer-to-peer application that runs on the Gnutella network, which can be found at http://www.frostwire.com/
[05:01] <cwillu> sugoruyo; generally, the best you're gonna get off irc is a clue as to what direction you're going to be looking
[05:01] <katie> obviously my laptop's sound will work, how do i config the drivers?
[05:01] <sugoruyo> cwillu, well i'm working on three different machines at the same time :|
[05:01] <sugoruyo> cwillu, yeah i know it's just i'm not really having any luck with other stuff
[05:02] <sugoruyo> like that problem with initrd-tools
[05:02] <heyjoe2> limewire!
[05:02] <heyjoe2> !limewire
[05:02] <katie> HymnToLife: didn't notice i can't pm, doh!
[05:02] <ubotu> first you need !java, then download the http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and unpack it. Then just run the runLime.sh file. Voila. Consider !frostwire as an alternative.
[05:03] <katie> HymnToLife:  no, just rip the audio settings so i can get sound to work in normal ubuntu
[05:03] <HymnToLife> hmm dunnoare they any different ?
[05:03] <heyjoe2> i tried running the zip file from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther but it didnt work. any ideas on how else to get limwire to work?
[05:04] <katie> i don't know. i'm rather lost unfortuneately and my bf is clueless :)
[05:04] <HymnToLife> !limewire
[05:04] <ubotu> first you need !java, then download the http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and unpack it. Then just run the runLime.sh file. Voila. Consider !frostwire as an alternative.
[05:04] <cwillu> sugoruyo; I've gotta get back to work now;  explore the ftp approach and see if that gets you any further
[05:04] <tushkee> heyjoe2: there's a wiki how to get it running, it's fairly easy.
[05:04] <sugoruyo> cwillu, i will thanx a whole lot....
[05:04] <heyjoe2> ok thank u
[05:04] <cwillu> np
[05:04] <HymnToLife> have you ran the sh file heyjoe2 ?
[05:04] <sugoruyo> cwillu, sorry for keepin ya
[05:04] <craigrse> hi i wonder if someone could kindly help me with a apache problem? I've installed ubuntu 3 times and each time, after awhile apache (through localhost), mysql and my access to another computer stop working. Something is being blocked, im not sure where to look
[05:05] <HymnToLife> craigrse> certainly the configuration of your router
[05:05] <trappist> craigrse: it would help if you could define "stop working"
[05:05] <HymnToLife> also check your server box if the apache daemon didn't die for some reason
[05:06] <craigrse> apache is running, im not sure about its the router, each time i install ubuntu it works fine for a couple of restarts then stops workings
[05:06] <craigrse> ie. cant connect
[05:06] <craigrse> to localhost
[05:06] <craigrse> obviously im installing stuff along the way
[05:07] <HymnToLife> it's a bad idea to run a server on a desktop
[05:07] <trappist> craigrse: sometimes when you restart apache, some running processes fail to be killed, and since they're still bound to port 80 it can't restart.  do an apache stop, check for running process, kill em if they're there, then apache start.
[05:08] <craigrse> ok trappist thanks ill try that
[05:08] <mylo> what would i need to add in the repos for source packages ?
[05:08] <trappist> there are lots of reasons to run apache on a desktop.  e.g. for development.
[05:08] <heyjoe2> the wiki info pack on limewire isnt working for me
[05:09] <josch> hi, is there a german ubuntu chatroom?
[05:09] <cwillu> hymn; not talking about a public server
[05:09] <[blah] > is there a way to have ubuntu automatically install dependencies for apps when I run ./configure?
[05:09] <trappist> josch: #ubuntu-de
[05:09] <josch> tnx
[05:09] <trappist> [blah] : no
[05:09] <heyjoe2> any alternative to starting limewire other than the one suggested on the wiki
[05:10] <sbalneav> [blah] : aptitutde show auto-apt
[05:10] <cwillu> hey, does the irc chat get logged anywhere?
[05:10] <aeolist> [blah] , if the package is in the repositories, you can try sudo apt-get build-dep [package]  but that requires the deb-src repositories on the sources.list
[05:10] <Marlun> Is there a nice alarm clock that you can get from the repositories?
[05:11] <HymnToLife> heyjoe2> why would you need it ? the one on the wiki works very well
[05:11] <craigrse> just thinking,  the big coincidence is that i cant connect to my other networked computer (when originally i could right after install), aswell as apache and mysql, also when i ping localhost nothing happens (although should it?)
[05:11] <HymnToLife> alternatively, you can just buy your CDs...
[05:11] <renewip> can I install Ubuntu i386 breezy on an AMD64 PC?
[05:11] <trappist> craigrse: run ifconfig and make sure lo exists and has ip 127.0.0.1
[05:11] <trappist> craigrse: if not, sudo ifup lo
[05:11] <HymnToLife> renewip> of course
[05:12] <ufo> renewip: you can but there are some apps w
[05:12] <ufo> rem
[05:12] <ufo> n
[05:12] <ufo> :)
[05:12] <[blah] > aeolist, they are not dep-src :\
[05:12] <renewip> ufo: for example?
[05:12] <ufo> renewip: you can use win32codecs
[05:13] <ufo> cant
[05:13] <craigrse> sorry trappist im a bit of a newbie to linux, what should i see in ifconfig? and should sudo ifup lo return nothing?
[05:13] <^ac> plz help with sound!!!!!!!
[05:13] <^ac> SB 24 bit
[05:13] <trappist> craigrse: in ifconfig you should see an lo device, similar to eth0 etc. and if sudo ifup lo returns nothing, that's good.
[05:14] <^ac> sound no playing
[05:14] <HymnToLife> !sound
[05:14] <ubotu> methinks sound is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems or http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundProblemsHoary
[05:15] <craigrse> oh my god!!!!!! it works.. i love you.. what the hell.. unbridled overjoy.
[05:15] <craigrse> thank you so much
[05:15] <trappist> :)
[05:15] <confrey> ciao a uttti
[05:15] <craigrse> do you know what may have caused it? i think im repeating the same mistake on all three reinstalls
[05:16] <trappist> craigrse: I've noticed that when I reboot if my regular network device (eth0 in my case) fails to come up, lo doesn't come up either and I have to bring it up manually (with sudo ifup lo)
[05:16] <lillismannen> jag lade till ett nytt arkiv o s
[05:17] <HymnToLife> craigrse> it is already a big mistake
[05:17] <HymnToLife> to ru a web server on a desktop
[05:17] <HymnToLife> better use a dedicated box
[05:17] <trappist> HymnToLife: why
[05:17] <lillismannen> #ubuntu.se
[05:17] <HymnToLife> for security issues obviously
[05:17] <HymnToLife> and performance
[05:17] <HymnToLife> and also this kind of problems ;)
[05:18] <trappist> HymnToLife: I for one do development on my local box.  apache only listens on 127.0.0.1 so there's no real outside security risk, and if I'm worried about performance I'll just stop the webserver when I'm not using it.
[05:18] <cwillu> HymnToLife; that's simply not the case for private stuff
[05:18] <cwillu> it's not a public server he's talking about
[05:18] <HymnToLife> for developpement yes
[05:18] <cwillu> hell, that's how 'x' works
[05:18] <cwillu> local server :)
[05:18] <HymnToLife> not for production
[05:18] <cwillu> yes!
[05:18] <trappist> of course not for production
[05:19] <craigrse> trappist: interesting cause i've been commenting out the auto stuff in /etc/network/interfaces because it would hang at boot
[05:19] <HymnToLife> ok, forget what I said :p
[05:19] <trappist> craigrse: well that's why, then.  at least uncomment lo
[05:19] <confrey> can anybody use x11vnc? I'm trying to strat server, but it can't connect to Xserver
[05:20] <trappist> craigrse: if the other stuff is hanging at boot, find out why and fix it.
[05:20] <ubuntu_> testing
[05:20] <trappist> craigrse: it'll usually be because you said dhcp and don't have a dhcp server, or something like that.
[05:20] <adfs> can I send somebody a PRIVATE IM message & he responds?
[05:21] <adfs> can anybody help on this?
[05:21] <trappist> adfs: /msg ubotu hello
[05:21] <Xappe> i'm trying to compile guifications 2.13beta2 on breezy, but i'm stuck with errors during "make". Suggestions? http://pastebin.com/587115
[05:21] <tulio2> i have got windows and ubuntu installed, but i installed ubuntu with no boot loader, because i want to create a floppy boot disk, how i do that ?
[05:21] <gnomefreak> anyone know what the right click menu for fluxbox is called?
[05:22] <craigrse> trappist: thanks for all of this, i will look into the hanging issue. i am truely in your debt
[05:22] <cwillu> send cheques to... :p
[05:22] <asad2005> I have a problem with my PCIE NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600?]  does any one have a working xorg.conf I had to use vesa driver to get to work
[05:22] <Frogzoo> tulio2: grub-floppy
[05:23] <craigrse> cwillu: (:
[05:23] <halpo> how do i know wich wlan drivers works in my computer
[05:23] <mcf501> hey, still cannot get opengl to work, can anyone help me with this error? prac6.c:16:19: error: GL/gl.h: No such file or directory
[05:23] <mcf501> prac6.c:17:20: error: GL/glu.h: No such file or directory
[05:23] <mcf501> prac6.c:18:21: error: GL/glut.h: No such file or directory
[05:23] <trappist> asad2005: you should be able to make a working config by running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:23] <Frogzoo> halpo: lspci & figure out what your wifi card is - then find a driver
[05:24] <trappist> mcf501: sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev
[05:24] <asad2005> trappist, Thanks I did same problem even with breezy live cd
[05:24] <trappist> mcf501: and libgl1-mesa-dev
[05:24] <mcf501> trappist: thanks will try that now
[05:25] <trappist> mcf501: unless you have an nvidia card, in which case nvidia-glx-dev
[05:25] <visik7> is there a program like virtualdub ?
[05:25] <Sanne> Xappe, looks like an error specific to that program code. If there's a amiling list or irc channel for that program, you should get better replies if you ask there, I think.
[05:26] <dyggMerald> anyone else having a bad experience with "evince"
[05:26] <dyggMerald> its real crappy
[05:27] <engla> I like evince for the most part
[05:27] <mylo> dyggMerald, why is that ?
[05:27] <engla> some redraw problems though
[05:27] <mcf501> trappist: i have an ati, and installing the dev files has removed alot of errors, but i still have some GLUT errors, 'GLUT_DOUBLE undeclared (first use in this function)
[05:27] <mylo> i prefer evince than xpdf, ggv or other
[05:28] <mylo> mcf501, have you install gl lib ?
[05:28] <ObiWantKannabis> hi
[05:28] <dyggMerald> mylo: using breezy evince rarely lasts more than 5 minutes.. and you can make it crash in much less if you push it
[05:29] <craigrse> hmm for some reason i can't edit menu items in the top gnome menu, this is after running automatix... it says its starting but nothing happens after that, has anyone else come across this?
[05:29] <ObiWantKannabis> sudo mount jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin /home/pedro/Desktop/java/
[05:29] <ObiWantKannabis>  ---- what miss here or how can i do this ??
[05:29] <Xappe> Sanne: mhm, i'll try the sourceforge forums...
[05:29] <dyggMerald> mylo: graphical interface and looks arent bad.. stability is ridiculous
[05:29] <gnomefreak> ObiWantKannabis: why did you get the rpm?
[05:29] <stpeter> how can i extract from a tar archive only files in /bin?
[05:29] <Sanne> Xappe, yes, seems like a ggod idea, good luck :)
[05:29] <gnomefreak> ubuntu doesnt use rpms
[05:30] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell ObiWantKannabis about javadebs
[05:30] <Xappe> Sanne: thanks :)
[05:30] <sbalneav> dyggMerald: is this on a particular .pdf file, or in general?  I've been using it quite a bit, and it's worked fine for me.
[05:30] <ObiWantKannabis> gnomefreak,  should i get the other one? was 2 options and i optioned by one
[05:30] <mylo> dyggMerald, i just realized i didn't install evince in this machine
[05:30] <ObiWantKannabis> lol
[05:31] <gnomefreak> ObiWantKannabis: yes you dont want to use rpms on ubuntu (more trouble than its worth
[05:31] <ObiWantKannabis> oh ok
[05:31] <ObiWantKannabis> thanks
[05:31] <dyggMerald> sbalneav: in general
[05:31] <mylo> where can i find ubuntu-version ?
[05:31] <mylo> there only /etc/debian_version
[05:31] <gnomefreak> !version
[05:31] <ubotu> [version]  'lsb_release -a' or 'cat /etc/issue'
[05:32] <GTX> Where can I findout what starts on startup
[05:32] <Ng> GTX: /etc/rcS.d/ and then /etc/rc2.d/
[05:32] <mylo> gnomefreak, hmm okay thanks, so it's in issue
[05:32] <pedrocr> server irc.debian.org
[05:33] <sbalneav> dyggMerald: Odd.  Might be worth everyone's while to file a bug report.  I'd also (if you can) attach a pdf that gives you particular trouble.

[05:43] <HymnToLife> [blah] > sudo apt-get install build-essential

[05:43] <Dr_Willis> ayako_,  delete the .gnome config dirs for that account. would be the easy way
[05:43] <xnull-> !tell xnull- about dapper
[05:44] <HymnToLife> mahangu> passwd user
[05:44] <trappist> xnull-: you do that by saying /msg ubotu dapper

[05:44] <gnomefreak> good
[05:44] <Dr_Willis> ayako_,  or just rename them. that should reset the gnome to the default settings next time it is loaded by that user

[05:53] <lesshaste>  how do i distinguish between man 5 resolver  and man 3 resolver  with info ?
[05:53] <phisrow> I've a question about X11 in Ubuntu. I recently set up a Debian server(headless) with the intention of SSHing in from my Ubuntu laptop and running X apps over the SSH tunnel. SSH is working fine, and I've done the export DISPLAY=<relevant IP>:0 on the debian box and the xhost+<relevant IP> on the Ubuntu machine. Despite that, I'm getting "cannot open display" Is there anything besides the xhost setting that might be doing acce
[05:54] <trappist> lesshaste: I'm pretty sure you don't
[05:54] <nickrud> lesshaste: man 5 is for configuration files; man 3 is programming interfaces, I think
[05:54] <Ng> phisrow: run sudo gdmconfig and tell it to listen on a tcp port, or you could tunnel the X stuff over ssh
[05:54] <lucasvo_> anybody know the userpassword from ubuntu on the virtual machine?
[05:54] <lesshaste> nickrud, sure but info gives you man pages if the info page isn't there... but it seems to choose one of them for you
[05:54] <trappist> phisrow: use ssh -X instead of doing all that.  X starts with 'nolisten tcp' on debian and ubuntu, so that way won't work
[05:54] <lesshaste> nickrud, can't see how to do info 5 resolver for example
[05:55] <nickrud> lesshaste: man 5 resolver
[05:55] <ProN00b> i need a desktop magnifier
[05:55] <phisrow> Many thanks, Trappist and Ng.
[05:55] <nickrud> lesshaste: info, I never used that much
[05:55] <lesshaste> nickrud, sure but that means you have to use man which is a pain as man pages are deprecated in gnu tools
[05:55] <trappist> lesshaste: info pages aren't man pages, and I don't think they're broken down that way - or at all.
[05:55] <Ng> phisrow: gnome-mag :)
[05:55] <[blah] > so I installed freeciv via ./configure + make, now how do I know what the command to run it is?
[05:55] <HymnToLife> tried freeciv ?
[05:55] <nickrud> lesshaste: but prefered in ubuntu, man pages are required by policy
[05:56] <bjorn_> Dr_Willis: (this is ayako_) that didn't work
[05:56] <lesshaste> trappist, sure but "info" reads the man pages if there aren't any info pages
[05:56] <trappist> phisrow: for better performance, ssh -X -c blowfish
[05:56] <lesshaste> nickrud, well.. for gnu tools they are deprecated so unless ubuntu people are writing them...
[05:56] <nickrud> lesshaste: yes, it's part of package maintenance
[05:56] <bjorn_> Dr_Willis: I noticed that the account that wont start gnome is missing the .gnome file
[05:56] <lesshaste> nickrud, interesting...
[05:57] <trappist> [blah] : freeciv is available as a package.  why build from source?
[05:58] <[blah] > because the forum i found it on said it wasnt :S
[05:58] <phisrow> Hmm. I'm still getting the same behavior.
[05:58] <[blah] > trappist, can I uninstall it from source?
[05:58] <[blah] > uninstalling
[05:58] <trappist> [blah] : if the Makefile supports it.  try 'make uninstall'
[05:58] <[blah] > just did
[05:59] <ProN00b> i installed gnome-mag, how can i launch it ?
[05:59] <nickrud> lesshaste: http://qa.debian.org/man-pages.html (as far as I know, ubuntu follows this)
[06:00] <trappist> ProN00b: dpkg -L gnome-mag | grep bin to see what executables are installed

[06:02] <stardust> Can i install that?
[06:02] <southern> nickrud: no, I followed the official ubuntu dyndns howto
[06:02] <gnomefreak> [blah] : sudo dpkg -i file.deb

[06:03] <southern> other jobs run periodically but dyndns no :(((

[06:07] <moyogo> this is really strange, i can't do apt-get upgrade in gnome-terminal but it works in xterm
[06:07] <nickrud> southern: simplest method is to install ddclient, fill in the blanks, and edit /etc/default/ddclient for run_daemon true
[06:07] <Ng> moyogo: what happens in gnome-terminal?
[06:07] <ProN00b> gnome-mag doesn't work, is there an other magnifier i could try ?

[06:11] <zulfiqar> anyone having probl;ems with Automatix?
[06:11] <HymnToLife> lint > which plugin ?
[06:11] <LjL> !automatix
[06:11] <ubotu> automatix is unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'ynYn'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, but it's often best to read the documentation. (see !easyubuntu)
[06:11] <Amaranth> lint: You have totem-xine and the totem firefox plugin?
[06:11] <nickrud> southern: I'm not familar with ipcheck, so I'm not sure how it works, and, additionally, I don't read polish 
[06:11] <lint> Amaranth: no i did it the mplayer route
[06:11] <Amaranth> lint: ick
[06:11] <lint> Do you suggest totem instead?
[06:11] <ProN00b> ok, Ng, thanks
[06:11] <southern> nickrud: I'm using adsl...
[06:11] <Amaranth> lint: I don't think the mplayer plugin in breezy has a UI of any kind
[06:12] <lint> nope
[06:12] <lint> haha
[06:12] <Amaranth> lint: it just plays, you have no control
[06:12] <rysiek|pl> southern: I read Polish, what's the problem?
[06:12] <southern> "Interface used for dynamic DNS service" : ppp0?
[06:12] <HymnToLife> Amaranth> there _is_ a mplayer GUI
[06:12] <lint> i'll try totem then
[06:12] <HymnToLife> I don't find it nice though, VLC all the way for me :p

[06:12] <southern> thanks
[06:12] <pavier> you fuck my wife motherfucker ?

[06:13] <LjL> oh
[06:13] <HymnToLife> guess it's the same guy
[06:13] <southern> done with setup
[06:13] <nickrud> southern: try ddclient, it's a well made package.
[06:13] <southern> yes I've done with setup and config...
[06:13] <frank23> lint: instead of dealing with those firefox plugins, I just use the mediaplayerconnectivity extension, everything plays in a external media player of your choice
[06:13] <lint> frank: ah, good call
[06:13] <aridese> hi guys when does dapper come out? april?
[06:13] <asterisk99> Help!!! I was cleaning up ... well... don't ask... I deleted my home directory (yeah... I know dumb!!!!) --- I've added it back and set chmod and chown, but.... I cannot launch Terminal, get to my Desktop Folder... arrrrgggg!!!!!!!!!   Any advice? (other than don't do that!!)
[06:13] <lint> Yeah i can't use totem anyway because i'm in KDE
[06:13] <Ng> yes
[06:13] <tonyyarusso> aridese: April 20th.
[06:13] <southern> it says: * dynamic DNS service update utility not in use"
[06:13] <Amaranth> april 4th, i think
[06:14] <Amaranth> oh
[06:14] <aridese> lol, april 4th is my birthdya
[06:14] <Amaranth> lint: Sure you can
[06:14] <southern> do I have to do anything else??
[06:14] <lint> Amaranth: Adept claims its for GNOME
[06:14] <johndarkhorse> i love a parade
[06:14] <Amaranth> lint: It is, but you can use it anywhere.
[06:15] <nickrud> southern: don't forget /etc/default/ddclient, then sudo invoke-rc.d ddclient restart
[06:15] <tonyyarusso> frank23: Does that actually work for you?  I tried that extension once (a while ago) and had some issues with it.
[06:15] <southern> ok thank you
[06:15] <LinuxIdiot> hi im stuck on installing sagem f@st 800 modem on ubuntu 5.10
[06:15] <frank23> tonyyarusso: I found it to work very well. once in a while you have to do a reload to see it but that's it
[06:16] <Ng> tonyyarusso: works here :)
[06:16] <tonyyarusso> asterisk99: I don't know if there's a 'correct' way to handle that, but presumably you no longer have any data anyway, so I personally would try deleting it again, deleting the user, and adding the user back.
[06:16] <zulfiqar> anyone having problems with Automatix?
[06:17] <lint> installed totem and still no dice
[06:17] <LjL> ubotu, tell zulfiqar about automatix
[06:17] <Ng> asterisk99: you might want to copy things from /etc/skel/ to your home directory too
[06:17] <lint> i can't even get flash to work
[06:17] <mcf501> hey how do you configure your console so you can open executables by just typing their names?
[06:17] <tonyyarusso> frank23, Ng: All right, maybe it's improved.  Stuff seems to do that over the course of a year or more!
[06:17] <LjL> mcf501: that's considered a security risk. you can already "just type the name" of programs that have been installed, and for programs in your current dir, just type ./ before the name
[06:18] <Itze_> hey, could anybody help me here. My azureus doesnt start anymore... is there a way to run any diagnostic on it to find out whats wrong?
[06:18] <edward0> lint: there is an mplayer mozilla plugin I think
[06:18] <gnomefreak> mcf501: what type of file
[06:18] <airjump> hello
[06:18] <lint> edward: have that installed already
[06:18] <lint> I even have both versions installed
[06:18] <gnomefreak> mcf501: you would need to write a script for that to happen please refer to the abs guide in synaptic
[06:18] <mcf501> well, they are just application/x-executable im doing some opengl projects
[06:19] <LjL> why a script?
[06:19] <zulfiqar> how do i install wmv codecs?
[06:19] <lint> I've got flashplayer-mozilla installed and I have flashplugin-nonfree installed
[06:19] <LjL> ubotu, tell zulfiqar about wmv
[06:19] <airjump> one question dashboard function like the same in MAC OS X in UBUNTU?
[06:19] <mcf501> ./ works fine thanks
[06:19] <gnomefreak> LjL: depends what it is
[06:19] <edward0> lint: that is flash
[06:19] <gnomefreak> as i said above
[06:19] <asterisk99> tonyyarusso: I sudo'ed as root now (thank god)... you think I can simply deluser and adduser again?  What about all my permissions (is: sudo, etc.)
[06:19] <tonyyarusso> Would there be any way to get information from the wiki (paused to be static, b/c otherwise surely this would be too complicated) into something resembling the Gnome help (yelp), such that users could access it offline?
[06:20] <lint> edward: ?
[06:20] <edward0> lint: what type of video are you trying to view?
[06:20] <lint> for example nba.com
[06:20] <LjL> tonyyarusso: couldn't you just mirror the wiki? not sure how big it is
[06:20] <xoz> is the sensor module working in G4 ppc?
[06:20] <lint> i get a message saying flash 5 is needed near the top bar
[06:20] <asterisk99> Ng: directory /etc/skel is empty
[06:20] <lint> "You need Flash 5 to run this application."
[06:20] <tonyyarusso> asterisk99: Oh right...  Um, I'm not sure what would happen with sudo.  If you had root enabled it would be simple, but that's not how Ubuntu's set up, so I'm really not sure.  Sudo expertise anyone?
[06:21] <Ng> asterisk99: ls -A /etc/skel :)
[06:21] <tonyyarusso> LjL: Maybe?  What would be the most efficient means for doing so do you think?
[06:21] <LjL> asterisk99: is that your primary user? the only one with sudo access?
[06:21] <lint> If you fix this for me edward, i'll love you forever
[06:21] <tonyyarusso> Anyone know/know how to find out the total size of the wiki?
[06:21] <zulfiqar> how can i make a script files with multiple apt-get comands and run it once?
[06:21] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell lint about flash
[06:21] <LjL> tonyyarusso: i would just run wget.   "wget --mirror https://wiki.ubuntu.com" or perhaps something slightly smarter
[06:22] <tonyyarusso> asterisk99: You could set up another user with sudo access first otherwise.
[06:22] <Emperor> if you want root enabled, you could use sudo, or give root a password with the following command "sudo passwd root"
[06:22] <gnomefreak> zulfiqar: check the abs guide in synaptic
[06:22] <edward0> lint: you can run firefox and in the location bar type about:plugins that will show you all loaded plugins
[06:22] <tonyyarusso> LjL: It's the slightly smarter part I would be wondering what it would be.
[06:22] <LjL> zulfiqar: if you mean for running "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade", you'll be better off with an alias than a script, probably
[06:22] <chell> Hi
[06:22] <asterisk99> LjL: admittedly, yes. That's my primary user.
[06:22] <lint> Although i do appreciate the autobot answer gnomefreak; i've already done all that
[06:22] <LjL> asterisk99: i wouldn't delete it
[06:23] <LjL> asterisk99: what happened exactly? i didn't follow from the beginning
[06:23] <LinuxIdiot> does anyone have a sagem f@st modem working well under ubuntu??
[06:23] <lint> edward: interesting, it lists no plugins
[06:23] <zulfiqar> LjL, how do i create an alias?
[06:23] <LjL> tonyyarusso: well, not sure. best is to try i guess, i'll give it a try myself
[06:23] <zulfiqar> is there a howto or help file out there?
[06:23] <tonyyarusso> LjL: All right!  (Here goes the bandwidth...)
[06:23] <erez> anyone knows how to change the encoding in irssi?
[06:23] <LjL> zulfiqar:    alias apt="sudo apt-get update; sudo aptitude dist-upgrade; sudo aptitude search ~N" is what i use
[06:23] <johndarkhorse> zulfiqar: open a terminal and type "man alias"
[06:24] <asterisk99> LjL: You rae gonna laugh your ass off... I was testing an install script that creates a new group, user, and loads files into /home/testuser/ yada yada yada
[06:24] <LjL> tonyyarusso: perhaps you could wait for me to try - i've got 10mbps
[06:24] <tonyyarusso> LjL: I think I will, thanks.
[06:24] <asterisk99> LjL: I wanted to test it again to make sure that I preoperly created all the correct files but wanted to clean up before
[06:24] <zulfiqar> johndarkhorse, "man alias" says no command found
[06:24] <edward0> lint: you installed the gpl flash player?
[06:25] <johndarkhorse> zulfiqar: join us in #ubuntu-offtopic and we can explain it to ya
[06:25] <asterisk99> LjL: So Mr. Dumb-ass here types in (as root) rm -r /home/ instead of rm -r /home/testuser
[06:25] <LjL> asterisk99: oh :)
[06:25] <chell> I'd really like to do my ubuntu fresh install now. Unfortunately, I've got to wait till wednesday :-(
[06:25] <asterisk99> LjL: As Homer Simpson would say ... DOOOOHHHHHH
[06:25] <lint> edward: i believe so..
[06:26] <LjL> asterisk99: well your files are gone anyway, correct?
[06:26] <brian_> unbutu is pretty sweet heh.  damn
[06:26] <lint> whats the package name?
[06:26] <brian_> ubuntu*
[06:26] <chell> yeah I love it
[06:26] <tonyyarusso> erez: /set term_charset utf-8
[06:26] <brian_> i usually run openbsd, but i like this linux distrobution
[06:26] <erez> tonyyarusso: thanks
[06:26] <asterisk99> LjL: Ooooo Baby. Yes. I created a new /home/me  (me = my master user)
[06:27] <LjL> asterisk99: well i don't think you'd really need to remove/readd the user... i suppose your worry is that you don't have any configuration files in your new home, right?
[06:27] <asterisk99> LjL: Then added /home/me/Desktop ... set up permissions and ownership
[06:27] <asterisk99> LjL: The user cannot do anything ... can't access any of the System apps

[06:28] <asterisk99> LjL: Worth a try .... I can always re-install and recreate about 2 hours worth of work
[06:28] <chell> A question: Does ubuntu have support for different english"es" (like UK, AUS, US...) or just US?
[06:28] <brian_> wow, i pasted it wrong LOL, that's a first.
[06:28] <HymnToLife> asterisk99> what's the problem ?
[06:28] <HymnToLife> add the user to the admin groop as root
[06:28] <LjL> asterisk99: no need to reinstall
[06:28] <HymnToLife> ant it will be able to use sudo
[06:29] <LjL> asterisk99: you can always boot into rescue mode even if you lose root priviledges
[06:29] <LjL> asterisk99: so i guess you could try that, even though i'm quite sure there has to be a safer way
[06:29] <lint> Fun, adept just crashed
[06:30] <edward0> lint: lol
[06:30] <tonyyarusso> LjL: Can you tell overall progress with the wiki with wget like that, or just for the current file?
[06:30] <darkstar_> g'night people ...
[06:30] <edward0> lint: download the linux flash player from macromedia and install it?
[06:30] <asterisk99> LjL: Yeah .... true .... I've been programming since 1967 --- this isn't the forst dumb-ass mistake I've made [I once melted $40,000 worth of core memory on an IBM /360] 
[06:30] <chell> good day darkstar_ ;-)
[06:31] <engla> asterisk99: cool! :-)
[06:31] <tonyyarusso> asterisk99: That's gotta hurt.  What'd you do to get out of that one?
[06:31] <nickrud> oh, asterisk99 did you keep the job?
[06:31] <HymnToLife> lol you rock asterisk99
[06:31] <sbalneav> asterisk99: Got a nice cube of 16 k of core on my desk.  Toroids on wires are pretty :)
[06:31] <LjL> tonyyarusso: it was going, but i stopped it because i realized html links wouldn't work - found out you'll need the "--convert-links" option
[06:32] <tonyyarusso> LjL: Okay.  Do you know yet what the total size would be?
[06:32] <LjL> tonyyarusso: not really, that will only be known when it's finished ;)
[06:32] <chell> Any idea on the dapper drake release date?
[06:33] <tonyyarusso> LjL: Hmm.  I wish there was a way to check, but short of e-mailing an admin, dunno.
[06:33] <LjL> tonyyarusso: though, there is still something wrong with links even with that option
[06:33] <tonyyarusso> chell: April 20th.
[06:33] <zulfiqar> how to install a deb package?
[06:33] <LjL> tonyyarusso: don't think there is one
[06:33] <chell> So long to go :-(
[06:33] <tonyyarusso> !deb
[06:33] <ubotu> To install a .deb file: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb  (but note that the program you want might be installable using !apt from the !repos)
[06:33] <lnx_> anyone know how to chane the XMMS icon in the panel?
[06:33] <tonyyarusso> LjL: Do you know what's wrong with the links?
[06:33] <tonyyarusso> lnx_: Right click > Properties > Icon.

[06:34] <roccociro> ciao raga
[06:34] <asterisk99> nickrud/tonyandrusso: Yup that hurt. It was in college (almost got turfed, but my marks were A+  --- phewwww!)
[06:34] <roccociro> sono gomez
[06:34] <tonyyarusso> lnx_: The icon in the panel.
[06:34] <tonyyarusso> asterisk99: Oh man...
[06:34] <tushkee> hey guys, im trying to setup VNC thru SSH
[06:35] <lint> edward: i love you so much
[06:35] <lint> flash is now working
[06:35] <LjL> tonyyarusso: maybe nothing is wrong. i seem to understand from the man pages that the links will get fixed when the corresponding page is downloaded, so i guess links that are wrong have simply not been downloaded yet
[06:35] <tushkee> i just installed vncviewer v.4+ and the -via switch is gone
[06:35] <tonyyarusso> LjL: That sounds like it makes sense.
[06:35] <lnx_> tonyyarusso, i mean the icon when the application is actually running
[06:35] <lint> now to get streaming video in firefox working
[06:35] <asterisk99> nickrud/tonyandrusso: It's what happened if you try to IPL (boot) a /360 mainframe with the disk drive powered down ---- you'd think IBM would have tested this, but noooooooooooooo.....  (they covered it under warranty)
[06:35] <tushkee> what's the switch to direct VNC thru SSH?
[06:35] <tonyyarusso> lnx_: Oh...not sure about that one.
[06:36] <nickrud> asterisk99: your very first destructive testing, I take it 
[06:36] <LjL> tonyyarusso: (though i actually mean to say they're currently *wrong*, not just that i get a "not found" 'cause they haven't been downloaded ;)
[06:36] <tonyyarusso> LjL: What kind of wrong?  (ex.?)
[06:36] <dooglus> tushkee: which connected using ssh, type ~C to get a special prompt from ssh, then type -L localhost:5901:localhost:5900
[06:37] <chell> cya
[06:37] <LjL> tonyyarusso:   like,  file://blah, with no path. instead, they're supposed to be converted to relative links that will work from any path. let's see
[06:37] <dooglus> tushkee: (to request that port 5901 on the local host should be forwarded to port 5900 on the remote host)
[06:37] <asterisk99> nickrud: hahahaha   yes .... very!!!!   better than one of the operators at Control Data who had a head crash on a removable disk pack, removed the pack, and tried it on 8 other disk units.... transferring metal oxide bits to every obne of the drives (thus, ruining them)
[06:37] <LjL> tonyyarusso: actually, not with no path -- with a root path. like file:///blah
[06:37] <dooglus> tushkee: then connect using vncviewer: vncviewer localhost:1
[06:38] <LjL> tonyyarusso: and they appear to not work even after the corresponding file has been downloaded, either :\  though the man page seemed to make it pretty clear that "--convert-links" was the right option to use
[06:38] <tonyyarusso> LjL: Got it.
[06:38] <nickrud> asterisk99: heh
[06:38] <Deft> hi, is there anyone here who can tell me what's happening in the build queue with sound-juicer?
[06:38] <joaolesi> hi

[07:01] <HymnToLife> tulio2> what's wrong with GRUB ?
[07:01] <nickrud> asterisk99: you shouldn't, you may have some oddities though. what's your user number?

[07:03] <asterisk99> nickrud: 1000
[07:03] <lost334411> thanks
[07:03] <fangorious> tulio2: grub is the default boot manager that ubuntu uses, it supports booting windows, too
[07:04] <nickrud> asterisk99: bummer. First one out. What groups do you belong to?
[07:04] <tulio2> fangorious: but iwant it in a diskett
[07:04] <scarabatwork> can someone help me with a network issue?

[07:04] <HymnToLife> tulio2> you can ery well install grub on a floppy
[07:04] <tulio2> HymnToLife: how
[07:04] <tulio2> is there a IMG file ?
[07:05] <HymnToLife> I don't know, I've never done it
[07:05] <HymnToLife> but you can for sure
[07:05] <erez> lost334411: http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#mountunmountntfs
[07:05] <HymnToLife> try searching the wiki
[07:05] <tonyyarusso> !ubuntuguide
[07:05] <ubotu> methinks ubuntuguide is out of date, reported to break a lot and generally a bad source for information. Use help.ubuntu.com or wiki.ubuntu.com instead
[07:05] <Emperor> ~ntfs
[07:05] <Emperor> !ntfs
[07:05] <ubotu> somebody said ntfs was the filesystem used in Windows 2000 and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[07:05] <HymnToLife> my guess is during Ubuntu installyou tell it to install GRUB on your flopy instead of your MBR
[07:06] <Lillismannen> #ubuntu.se
[07:06] <LinuxIdiot> can someone help me with sagem f@st modem driver install?
[07:06] <aridese> what's a good brute-force cracking tool for linux?
[07:06] <taks> how i handle .packages in ubuntu distro, like instal incscape... ?!?
[07:06] <asterisk99> nickrud: It was something residual --- a reboot fixed it ---- weird
[07:07] <HymnToLife> [19:06]  aridese what's a good brute-force cracking tool for linux? <= do you really thing you will get an answer for this ?
[07:07] <lint> I had ubuntu install GRUB on the MBR
[07:07] <nickrud> asterisk99: judicious shotgunning, I see ;)
[07:07] <farous> any idea why xman report no manual pages. Was it replaced or was the location of the man pages been changed
[07:07] <aridese> HymnToLife, why not?
[07:07] <HymnToLife> because in case you didn't know, cracking is illegal...
[07:07] <aridese> i'm doing a security audit on my network
[07:08] <k3mper> hi, how do i install xwindows?
[07:08] <HymnToLife> !windows
[07:08] <ubotu> well, windows is unnecessary - everything runs in linux. Choose your emulator: Cedega, Wine, VMware, Qemu, Xen, CrossOver Office, or find an !alternative
[07:08] <lisi> I've got a wine problem - can anyone help?
[07:08] <lint> HymnToLife: I've installed w32, all the mad plugins, totem, totem plugin, everything, still no video in firefox, any ideas?
[07:08] <HymnToLife> lint> no, I never play videos in FF
[07:09] <bav_> I have problems getting screen res bigger than 1024x768 on an laptop with ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M. I've installed the propriatary fglrx ATI driver 'cause tha "ati" x.org driver crashed.
[07:09] <HymnToLife> it's part of the fun of dialup I guess :D
[07:09] <lint> hahha
[07:09] <lint> anyone else?
[07:09] <erez> lisi:  what's the problem? maybe i can help..
[07:09] <lint> If donations to ubuntu exist, five dollars to the community if I can get this fixed
[07:09] <scarabatwork> i have a wireless connection that is connecting, can reach everything on the local network by ip, but there's no dns resolution on the box, can someone help me with this?
[07:09] <lint> i'll even provide verification
[07:09] <farous> bav_ check if your card and screen support it first
[07:09] <lisi> I installed wine via apt-get
[07:09] <porkekko> salve
[07:09] <lisi> hang on, I'll be back in a few...
[07:09] <lost334411> ok its there not it is saying  You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "hda1".
[07:10] <bav_> favous: it should easy do 1280x800 at 60MHz...
[07:10] <farous_away> bav_: than sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:11] <erez> lost334411: did you follow one of the guides we gave you?
[07:11] <lost334411> yeah
[07:12] <bav_> farous: did that, and /etc/X11/xorg.conf have the new modes listed, but when I restart X and try to use the gnome tool to set screen res it still only lists max 1024x768...
[07:12] <tonyyarusso> What's the command to type something to display on another tty?
[07:12] <tulio2> http://img466.imageshack.us/img466/9841/partition30nn.png
[07:12] <tulio2> right? :D
[07:12] <farous_away> bav_: it should be in your display section not screen one
[07:13] <farous_away> bav_: or perhaps both but should be the first on the list in the display
[07:13] <ubuntu__> high
[07:13] <tulio2> http://img466.imageshack.us/img466/9841/partition30nn.png
[07:14] <bav_> farous: hmmm, will it help if I send the xorg.conf file if that's where I go wrong?
[07:14] <cwillu> lisi; how goes the battle?
[07:14] <ubuntu__> anyone knows if its possible to play cc generals on dual screen
[07:14] <DeMoNSeEd> hello, I'm trying to run this Klik app, but i keep getting message to install rpm2cpio, but it's not in repos, where do i get it
[07:14] <johndarkhorse> DeMoNSeEd: what is wrong with synaptic?
[07:14] <lint> What in the world is up with adept
[07:14] <lint> always crashing
[07:15] <tulio2> boot flag is like = make it active ?
[07:15] <lint> then it wont let me kill the processes, then i have to reboot
[07:15] <DeMoNSeEd> absolutely nothing wrong with it, just read the Article on D.W and figured i'd try Klik
[07:15] <ubuntu__> tell me if u know how to play cc generals in dual screen plz
[07:15] <afief> Could someone tell me about a good download maneger for linux?
[07:15] <johndarkhorse> DeMoNSeEd: you may cause your ubuntu to grind to a halt using Klik
[07:16] <tushkee> dooglus: you there due? i think i solved it
[07:16] <johndarkhorse> afief: wget
[07:16] <Agrajag> DeMoNSeEd: it looks like klik is for rpm-based distros
[07:16] <tulio2> lynx is better
[07:16] <afief> johndarkhorse: wow that was quick
[07:16] <DeMoNSeEd> ah....k, super thanks, glad ya told me, i'll pass then
[07:16] <faded_> Hi all. I am having a strange issue trying to log in to Gnome. After entering user/pass, the screen is blank for a few seconds before returning to the graphical login screen. Any ideas?
[07:16] <cwillu> ubuntu__ you may have more luck in a channel relating to that game
[07:16] <tulio2> lynx -source www.site.com/file.zip > file.zip
[07:17] <keithhhhhhhh1> hello
[07:17] <DeMoNSeEd> thanks johndarkhorse  and Agrajag
[07:17] <ubuntu__> ok i dont know a channel for that game
[07:17] <sig> anyone know what the next stable release will be number as? also what the name will be?
[07:17] <lint> Adept wont run whenever i click on it, and when i try to killall it i get this lovely error: http://kubuntu.pastebin.com/587334
[07:17] <DeMoNSeEd> 6.04
[07:18] <DeMoNSeEd> Dapper Duck
[07:18] <HappyFool> heh
[07:18] <HappyFool> drake ;)
[07:18] <sig> 5.10 still the latest stable ?
[07:18] <DeMoNSeEd> oops...lol
[07:18] <keithhhhhhhh1> Ive heard there is a windows to linux (or maybe windows to ubuntu) video is this true and is it free?
[07:18] <DeMoNSeEd> my error
[07:18] <tristanmike> sig, yes sir
[07:18] <HappyFool> some people take exception to drakes and ducks being equated
[07:18] <lisi> cwillu: hi - not too bad, but still can't install IE
[07:18] <DeMoNSeEd> don't know what i was thinkin there..lol, I stand corrected
[07:18] <lisi> I installed a couple of other apps that connect to the Internet and they're fine
[07:19] <SirTorte> Hi everyone.
[07:19] <DeMoNSeEd> IE?  ugh!
[07:19] <ramlez> when i used command apt-get upgrade i have errors 503 Service Unavailable :( how i can reprai it?
[07:19] <lisi> but iesetup.exe can't connect to the MS servers
[07:19] <keithhhhhhhh1> Ive heard there is a windows to linux (or maybe windows to ubuntu) video is this true and is it free?
[07:19] <lint> ramlez: That means that ftp/site is down at the moment i believe
[07:19] <lisi> and I installed IE using ies4linux, and it runs, but doesn't load any web pages
[07:19] <lint> You could try another mirror
[07:20] <SirTorte> A fairly simple question I believe, but I can't find any good answer on the unofficial ubuntu guide. I want to share one specific folder (and sub folders), to one user only, however I don't want it to be his 'home' folder. Any ideas on how to do this? Or would it work with the Share Folders thingy under administration?
[07:20] <cwillu> ey, lisi
[07:20] <lisi> DeMoNSeEd: yeah, I design web pages and need to check layout sometimes in IE
[07:20] <cwillu> I forget, did we try wiping .wine yesterday?
[07:20] <ramlez> lint,  and now what i should do?
[07:20] <lint> whats your sources.lst look like?
[07:21] <lint> if its the default
[07:21] <lint> just wait a bit and try again
[07:21] <ramlez> no
[07:21] <cwillu> where yesterday = whenever you were on before
[07:21] <nickrud> SirTorte: sudo chown -R <user>:<user> /path/to/dir
[07:21] <tushkee> is freeNX available yet on Dapper?
[07:21] <lisi> nope
[07:21] <DeMoNSeEd> lisi,  i see
[07:22] <tulio2> what is the best way to install ati driver?
[07:22] <nickrud> !tell tulio2 about ati
[07:22] <SirTorte> nickrud: Thanks! I'll try right away.
[07:22] <tulio2> nickrud: i already reat that
[07:22] <ramlez> lint,  i have sources.lst from polish forum, I'll try again leter but it must download again all 450,b ? :| :(
[07:22] <tulio2> but what is the better way ?
[07:22] <cwillu> ies4 didn't work either, you said?
[07:22] <tulio2> that u guys recommend ?
[07:22] <lisi> cwillu: you mean uninstall and reinstall, or just clear out the dir (ie rename or something)?
[07:22] <scarabatwork> !dhcp
[07:22] <ubotu> What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, scarabatwork
[07:22] <cwillu> rename
[07:22] <SirTorte> Oh, I forgot to mention that I want to have full access to it to, so I'd rather him not 'owning' the folder.
[07:22] <lisi> it did work to download the ie files, which it did through the shell script which runs in linux
[07:22] <nickrud> tulio2: I don't have an ati, so I can't judge. That's supposed to be the 'best' advice
[07:22] <cwillu> uninstall may leave config files around, which will defeat the purpose
[07:23] <cwillu> ya, but not any further
[07:23] <LoCusF> !symbian
[07:23] <ubotu> LoCusF: Huh? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[07:23] <tulio2> thanks
[07:23] <tulio2> !microsoft
[07:23] <ubotu> No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, tulio2
[07:23] <lisi> but once I open IE, it tries to connect but just shows a blank page and hangs
[07:23] <tulio2> !warez
[07:23] <ubotu> parse error: Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, tulio2
[07:23] <lost334411> now how do i see the files
[07:23] <tulio2> !piracy
[07:23] <ubotu> tulio2: Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[07:23] <ubuntu__> damn i cant find anything about dual screen cc generals
[07:23] <SirTorte> Anyway to do it without making him the owner of the folder?
[07:23] <lisi> ok, rename and then run winetools again to config?
[07:23] <lisi> BTW, I had tried winecfg the other day to config and it just hung
[07:24] <cwillu> that's... odd
[07:24] <cwillu> how close to a plain old ubuntu box is your box?
[07:24] <cwillu> anything weird with the networking?  (wifi, installed firewall rules, etc?)
[07:24] <lisi> pretty plain, I think - I basically installed from the disc and I've installed other things through apt-get but never compiled on my own
[07:25] <lisi> no, nothing like that
[07:25] <nickrud> SirTorte: sudo chown -R <you>:<him> /path/to/dir ; sudo cmod -R g+rw /path/to/dir ; sudo chmod -R g+s /path/to/dir
[07:25] <nickrud> SirTorte: the second command is chmod also, not cmod
[07:25] <SirTorte> nickrud, thanks again :).
[07:25] <lisi> I have a DSL connection, with external DSL modem
[07:25] <lisi> works fine everywhere else
[07:25] <SirTorte> nickrud, okay. Big thanks :).
[07:25] <cwillu> what type of network card is it?
[07:26] <lisi> now you're asking a good question - I don't remember offhand, is there a way for me to check without opening the box?
[07:26] <zoexii> hello, I have got a problem see... I seem to have active swap partitions on 2 drives at once...  I am trying to reformat one of them so as to remove it from the computer and give it to a friend.  How do I get rid of the swap partition?
[07:26] <renewip> how to turnoff Synchronus system clock with time server service in Ubuntu?
[07:26] <nickrud> SirTorte: that's off the top of my head, and it should be right. I'll be around for only a little while, though if it fails
[07:26] <tulio2> ahahhaa
[07:26] <cwillu> is it onboard or a seperate card?
[07:26] <tulio2> ubuntu installation stucked on "Testing network repository..."
[07:26] <SirTorte> nickrud: Well, even if it's not right it's the thought that counts :).
[07:26] <tulio2> at 50%
[07:26] <cwillu> also, the dsl, do you have to enter login information, or does it work with no auth?
[07:26] <lisi> separate caerd - had it installed when I upgraded to DSL
[07:27] <renewip> how to turnoff Synchronus system clock with time server service in Ubuntu?
[07:27] <nickrud> SirTorte: the thrust is correct, though.
[07:27] <lisi> login info - this is one of my other probs, I actually have to run pppeioconf every time I boot up in order to connect
[07:27] <SirTorte> nickrud, okay. It says something about unallowed group (rough back translation).
[07:27] <cwillu> hmm
[07:27] <cwillu> I think we might be getting closer
[07:28] <afief> Can someone tell me about a download manager with a GUI(wget is nice, but i don't like typing urls)
[07:28] <mathias> freeloader
[07:28] <cwillu> from a linux term, type in 'route'
[07:28] <SirTorte> chown: "x:y": ogiltig grupp (ogiltig grupp = unacceptable group or something like that)
[07:28] <cwillu> and tell me which ifaces you have
[07:28] <cwillu> I have a hunch that wine isn't using the pppoe adapter
[07:28] <ompaul> SirKillalot, same username and group

[07:29] <Jhair> ouch
[07:29] <johndarkhorse> ubotu: tell lisi about paste
[07:29] <ompaul> lisi, please do not paste here ever
[07:29] <SirTorte> nickrud, okay.
[07:29] <SirTorte> Oh...
[07:29] <lisi> sorry, didn't know
[07:29] <nickrud> ompaul: he want's to be the owner, but let someone else write to the dir
[07:29] <cwillu> my fault
[07:29] <SirTorte> nickrud: Stupid mistake by me there =P.
[07:30] <nickrud> SirTorte: oh
[07:30] <SirTorte> nickrud: I had forgotten to press ok after adding his user info. Big thanks though!
[07:30] <cwillu> !tell lisi about paste
[07:30] <redguy> !test
[07:30] <ubotu> Stop poking me!
[07:30] <vicks> i'm contemplating buying a used nvidia card to be able to try out xgl. since i'm not into gaming, i'll prolly just use it for xgl. what chipset do you think i should go with? what is the minimun spec for running usable xgl? what older cards work well with drivers?
[07:31] <ompaul> nickrud, so both of them should be in the same group staff/buddies whatever then it does not matter as long is it is writable by the group
[07:31] <lisi> got it - why's it bad to paste?
[07:31] <cwillu> we're not the only ones having conversations
[07:31] <ompaul> lisi, it scrolls the screen on all 500 other users
[07:31] <nickrud> vicks: I have a 5200, works ok with gl, barely
[07:31] <nickrud> ompaul: yeah, that's where he's headed
[07:31] <zulfiqar> hotwto install xvid codecs?
[07:31] <lisi> anyway, does this info help?
[07:32] <cwillu> lisi, paste me the output of ifconfig
[07:32] <soundray> How can I unset read-only on a document in OpenOffice? (I'd look it up, but for some reason, I can't start the OpenOffice help system)
[07:32] <lisi> ok, how do I do that without pasting here?
[07:32] <vicks> nickrud: what does barely mean? =)
[07:32] <cwillu> !paste
[07:32] <ubotu> Don't flood the channel! Please use the pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ or the channel #flood to paste large amount of text.
[07:32] <johndarkhorse> ubotu: tell zulfiqar about w32codecs
[07:32] <lisi> how do I do this privately?
[07:32] <cwillu> :/
[07:32] <afief> Can someone tell me about a download manager with a GUI(wget is nice, but i don't like typing urls)
[07:32] <cwillu> good point
[07:32] <cwillu> email it to cwillu@gmail.com if you want
[07:33] <ompaul> lisi, you use a pastebin read the message from ubotu there is a url in there
[07:33] <nickrud> vicks: a bit of stutter, when I rotate the cube and have a busy computer
[07:33] <vicks> nickrud: ok
[07:33] <lisi> can you login to AIM or MSN? that might be easier - or, can we open a private channel?
[07:33] <johndarkhorse> afief: you were told "freeloader"
[07:33] <cwillu> cwillu@gmail.com on msn
[07:33] <ompaul> cwillu, that looks perverse
[07:33] <afief> johndarkhorse: sorry, must have missed it:S
[07:33] <HymnToLife> indeed
[07:34] <cwillu> I know
[07:34] <SirTorte> nickrud, he only sees his home folder when logged in. Perhaps I should've mentioned that this is trying to share a specific folder over a network using Samba to only that user when there's a few more users that I don't want to have access to that folder?
[07:34] <tonyous> hello
[07:35] <SirTorte> hello tonyous
[07:35] <nickrud> SirTorte: yes, you should have. I know nothing about samba, except that what I said won't work 
[07:35] <ompaul> SirTorte, your doing samba that is windows permissions
[07:35] <ompaul> SirTorte, ask in ##windows
[07:36] <SirTorte> nickrud, okay, sorry :P. But yeah thanks, it's also some help, since he will occassionally log onto this computer aswell. =P.
[07:36] <SirTorte> ompaul, okay.
[07:36] <vicks> nickrud: how do you type the hiragana smiley?
[07:36] <cwillu> lisi; I lied

[07:36] <ompaul> vicks, if you copy this  you can paste that 
[07:37] <lisi> explains why youre not online :)
[07:37] <lisi> let me try again
[07:37] <soundray> I received a doc by email that I need to edit. When I open it in OOo Writer, the content is set read-only. Where is the option to unset this, please?
[07:37] <nickrud> vicks: I stole it from seveas: Settings -> advanced -> autoreplace, type the : ) smiley and paste the 
[07:37] <Seveas> nickrud, thief!
[07:38] <vicks> heh, ok
[07:38] <Seveas> vicks, it's a katakana smilie btw
[07:38] <nickrud> Seveas: and I'm gonna steal the -> soon ;P
[07:38] <Seveas> nickrud, want my replace.conf?
[07:38] <nickrud> Seveas: sure!
[07:38] <Seveas> pm me your e-mail addy
[07:39] <tsw> Seveas: you could put your replace.conf into pastebin :)

[07:39] <chris12349> how do you configure screensavers in dapper?
[07:39] <ompaul> chris12349, by asking in #ubuntu+1 system pref screen
[07:40] <HymnToLife> for Dapper, go to #ubuntu+1
[07:40] <soundray> Is there a way to start OpenOffice help standalone from the command line?
[07:40] <chris12349> thanks guys
[07:40] <ompaul> soundray, owriter
[07:40] <SirTorte> Well, I found a workaround that works wonders, simply doing what nickrud said, and then adding a link in the other users home folder to the folder I wanted to share :). Great thanks nickrud, bye bye everyone.
[07:40] <ompaul> soundray, sorry oowriter2
[07:41] <Seveas> nickrud, tsw: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9789

[07:50] <mivecz> fi try  install  e17 by synaptic  but i get error
[07:50] <inzaggi> hello
[07:50] <afief> mivecz: elaborating on the error will give the community a much better chance to solve it
[07:50] <afief> inzaggi: hi
[07:51] <mivecz> ok  wait
[07:51] <mivecz> afief  you know  e17
[07:51] <charles> anyone familiar with setting up dhcp-server? mine keeps failing when i try to start it (and i'm not sure where the error/log information goes)
[07:51] <afief> mivecz: unfortuanatly, i've never head about it before
[07:51] <cwillu> charles, take a peek in /var/log
[07:51] <gnomefreak> mivecz: paste your sources.list on pastebin please
[07:51] <vtomek> afief: but amarok works under kde, not?
[07:52] <HymnToLife> charles> what exactly is the problem ?
[07:52] <vtomek> i have gnome
[07:52] <gnomefreak> vtomek: it runs under gnome as well
[07:52] <js_> i run ubuntu for amd64.. but i want to install the 32bit version of libsdl/-dev.. is there an easy way to do that?
[07:52] <vtomek> oks
[07:52] <vtomek> thx
[07:52] <vtomek> i try it
[07:52] <afief> vtomek: it does, but you dont need to install all of KDE, just some libraries(synaptic handles that)
[07:52] <HymnToLife> charles> could you paste your dhcpd.conf into pastebin ?
[07:52] <charles> when i run '/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start' i get '[fail] ' as status return
[07:52] <gnomefreak> or flux or open or xfce
[07:52] <squire> can any1 help me, wat drivers should i download for nvidia geforcefx cards for linux? IA32 or IA64??
[07:53] <gnomefreak> squire: is your kernel a 32 bit or 64 bit
[07:53] <mivecz> pastebin  andress pls
[07:53] <HymnToLife> charles> could you paste your dhcpd.conf into pastebin ?
[07:53] <soundray> charles: it probably logs in /var/log or a subdirectory. Find out with ls -rt /var/log
[07:53] <HymnToLife> I have a working one if you want
[07:53] <inzaggi> msn  yes
[07:53] <soundray> !tell mivecz about pastebin
[07:53] <inzaggi> kontmontecarlo@ hotmail.com
[07:53] <inzaggi> msn adressssssssssssssss
[07:53] <charles> http://pastebin.com/587413
[07:53] <squire> 32 i would say
[07:54] <afief> squire: then you need IA32
[07:54] <gnomefreak> squire: what does uname -r say when you run that in term
[07:54] <squire> 1 sec
[07:54] <lint> Still having the same problem, can play videos off of youtube and google video, but not any wmv files nor no quicktime files. I've installed w32codecs, mplayer, etc
[07:54] <HymnToLife> subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 <= seems weird to me
[07:55] <vtomek> afief: it doesn't works. I have creative mp3 player not ipod and amarok say could find devince
[07:55] <charles> i've tried a few different dhcpd.conf files... none of which have worked for me
[07:55] <squire> gnomefreak: 2.6.12-9-386
[07:55] <nickrud> lint: did you install mozilla-mplayer ?
[07:55] <afief> lint: WMV is a propertary format, as is quicktime. so the support for them is very limited
[07:55] <HymnToLife> but I'm not very familiar with thisanyway, I have a working one if you want
[07:55] <gnomefreak> squire: ia32 than
[07:55] <soundray> vtomek: some of the recent portable music players are hopeless with anything other than Win XP. It's a conspiracy.
[07:55] <HymnToLife> at leans one that works for me
[07:55] <squire> gnomefreak: thanks
[07:55] <lint> nickrud: yep
[07:55] <afief> vtomek: what exactly is the problem? does the hotplug system recognize and mount the device?
[07:56] <mivecz> wait  i think  i use  debian reposit
[07:56] <gnomefreak> mivecz: dont use debian repos
[07:56] <mivecz> :PP\
[07:56] <gnomefreak> mivecz: please paste your sources.list to pastebin
[07:56] <lint> nickrud: newest version as well
[07:56] <nickrud> lint: try http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger/test.html ; there's a bunch of test links there, possibly you can narrow down what's working, what's not
[07:56] <gnomefreak> mivecz: bad enough your running dapper really dont need to mix debian repos too
[07:56] <inzaggi> hello
[07:57] <inzaggi> she
[07:57] <mivecz> i resolved
[07:57] <Fredde> is beep media player (bmp) better then xmms
[07:57] <Jhair> Fredde: yes
[07:57] <mivecz> gnomefreak
[07:57] <gnomefreak> resolved what?
[07:57] <mivecz> ubundu 5.10
[07:57] <soundray> Fredde: a bit, but the codebase is the same afaik.
[07:57] <vtomek> afief: i think no, because i'dont see the devince
[07:57] <nickrud> Fredde: prettier, but it doesn't have all the plugins, I think
[07:57] <gnomefreak> mivecz: still a bad bad idea to mix repos
[07:57] <HymnToLife> charles> I have a working dhcpd.conf (or at least one that works for me), want it ?
[07:57] <fangorious> is there a way to get mail-notification to check all labels in gmail, instead of only inbox?
[07:57] <mivecz> i i dont  mix it now
[07:57] <Fredde> what is the apt-get package name for it?
[07:57] <gnomefreak> mivecz: and im betting thats where the problem lays
[07:58] <nickrud> Fred: beep-media-player
[07:58] <vtomek> soundray: i see the devince under gnomad2 but i can't copy or play song!
[07:58] <mivecz> gnomefreak  maybe:P
[07:58] <fangorious> beep-media-player
[07:58] <mivecz> now is  install e17:)
[07:58] <mivecz> i wait until  instalation is  finish
[07:58] <afief> vtomek: sorry then, the system doesn't recognize your player. you need to install a driver. try to google for it and send the producer an email
[07:58] <mivecz> ubundu is not based in debian?
[07:59] <gnomefreak> mivecz: it is but the packages are different
[07:59] <lint> nickrud: it failed every test
[07:59] <lint> rofl
[07:59] <Emperor> mivecz, ubuntu is based on debian
[07:59] <nickrud> mivecz: where are you getting your e17 stuff? I have a card that may be good enough
[07:59] <caravena> mivecz: yes, Ubuntu based in Debian.
[07:59] <nickrud> lint, in firefox location box, type about:plugins
[07:59] <mivecz> deb http://soulmachine.net/breezy unstable/
[07:59] <gnomefreak> mivecz: you install a debian repo package it may be differnet than the ubuntu version and can cause all kinds of problems
[07:59] <soundray> vtomek: some players are incompatible. The manufacturer is to blame in such cases. Call Creative and ask them to provide a driver for Linux, or ask them to support the development of a free driver.
[07:59] <fangorious> mivecz: ubuntu takes a snapshot of debian, stabilizing package versions, and then patches a core set to be well integrated and sometimes add features no in the debian packages
[07:59] <gnomefreak> mivecz: thats a ubuntu repos
[07:59] <nickrud> mivecz: thanks
[08:00] <mivecz> what  card you have
[08:00] <mivecz> ?
[08:00] <squire> gnomefreak: i just downloaded the drivers but when i try open them i get an error msg :(
[08:00] <lint> nickrud: yeah it only shows shockwave and futuresplash
[08:00] <nickrud> 5200
[08:00] <lint> nickrud: i know it should show the others i've installed, but it doesn't
[08:00] <vtomek> soundray: thx, i search driver, but creative doesn't make driver under linux:(
[08:00] <squire> gnomefreak: gedit was not able to automatically detect the character coding. Please, check that you are not trying to open a binary file and try again selecting a character coding in the 'Open File...' (or 'Open Location') dialog.
[08:00] <mivecz> i like  e17:)
[08:00] <nickrud> lint: that is most strange; are you using firefox 1.5?
[08:01] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell squire about nvidia
[08:01] <soundray> vtomek: get in touch, give them a bit of a hard time. If enough people do this, they'll start listening.
[08:01] <squire> ?
[08:01] <lint> yes
[08:01] <gnomefreak> squire: you have a nvidia card?
[08:01] <HymnToLife> indeed soundray that seemed to work for ATI :D
[08:02] <squire> gnomefreak: yup
[08:02] <lint> 1.5.0.1 to be exact
[08:02] <soundray> HymnToLife: well, halfway at least...
[08:02] <brendanh> hey all
[08:02] <gnomefreak> squire: why not just do it per the wiki ubotu sent you its sudo apt-get install blah
[08:02] <HymnToLife> give it some months :)
[08:02] <brendanh> i'm having trouble with a ubuntu install
[08:02] <HymnToLife> years maybe :/
[08:02] <gnomefreak> instead of downloading and installing drivers from nvidia
[08:02] <brendanh> i get to the partition disks part and i get [!!]  Partition Disks ????? ??????
[08:02] <brendanh> and E: Unimplemented Function
[08:02] <brendanh> it's breezy 5.10

[08:03] <brendanh> sorry, i'll contain my excitement and type 1 line at a time
[08:03] <gnomefreak> yw squire
[08:03] <Emperor> brendanh, your using sata drive's ?
[08:03] <nickrud> lint: look at !ff1.5 ; the page referenced there tells you how to get the plugins working
[08:03] <lint> !ff1.5
[08:03] <ubotu> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
[08:03] <brendanh> Emperor: yeah, SATA w/ megaraid
[08:04] <kung> hi zusammen
[08:04] <mivecz> gnomefreak synaptic is  nice:)

[08:04] <soundray> kung: du willst zu #ubuntu-de ;)
[08:04] <gnomefreak> mivecz: it makes it easy
[08:04] <Emperor> brendanh, maybe the card isnt supported (sata controller)
[08:04] <kung> but hi together anyways..;)
[08:04] <mivecz> yea:)
[08:04] <inzaggi> hello,
[08:04] <vtomek> where can i found informations about connected usb devinces?

[08:04] <brendanh> Emperor: perhaps, is this common? the install modprobed megaraid2 w/o problem
[08:05] <nickrud> real men use aptitude interactively
[08:05] <mivecz> after  the instalation finish   i   exit  gnome and  use  e17?
[08:05] <soundray> vtomek: run lsusb
[08:05] <lint> nickrud: i've run that before, but i'll do it again
[08:05] <Emperor> brendanh, hmm i am not femiliar with sata and linux. still using IDE here hehe :)
[08:05] <Emperor> but when partitioning, it doenst show your drive's ?
[08:06] <lint> oh snaps, almost there
[08:06] <nickrud> lint: it's the linking that counts:  sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/* from your firefox plugin directory
[08:06] <lint> no its a black picture with the text "no picture"
[08:06] <gnomefreak> mivecz: yes it will be listed in the sessions button called enlightenment

[08:08] <soundray> vtomek: sorry, I have no idea.
[08:08] <vtomek> soundray: no problem:D
[08:08] <inzaggi> hello
[08:09] <protected_meta> hi...
[08:09] <brendanh> I do believe that SATA works with this distro becuase i have 2 other systems here that installed off the same isop
[08:10] <lint> Yeah now I don't get a plugin error
[08:10] <lint> but it says "no picture"
[08:10] <protected_meta> lil question: does anyone have an idea what problem it could be if my system is no longer able to get a IP address from DHCP??

[08:14] <mivecz> nd this to your /etc/apt/preferences (if there isn't any create one)
[08:14] <brendanh> has anyone else had problems with SATA RAID and breezy? I can't get to the partition section of the install
[08:15] <lint> nickrud: im in dapper
[08:15] <s1> hi, is there any way to rebuild the package database, my entire list of installed packages seems to be missing after a diskcrash
[08:15] <nickrud> lint: I'm on dapper, and everything works well. I'll see you in #ubuntu+1, by some miracle, maybe I can help

[08:18] <soundray> userone: I'm not a gaim expert, just suggesting a generic troubleshooting approach.
[08:18] <s1> Jowi: no, sorry
[08:19] <s1> apt reports that dpkg isnt installed
[08:19] <soundray> private_meta: well, first of all, make sure that it actually broadcasts a DHCP request.
[08:19] <userone> soundray: thats ok...thanks for your help anyway!
[08:19] <private_meta> soundray: how?
[08:19] <Jowi> s1: ...and if you install dpkg first?
[08:20] <soundray> private_meta: if you have configured DHCP in /etc/network/interfaces or via the panel, you can run in a terminal 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' and see what it does. Feel free to paste output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org if need be.

[08:28] <zoexii> nickrud, I just removed the first, and now realized that grub had been installed on the MBR of that drive,

[08:29] <ui> hi auzerus got updated some files and now it dowsnt want to work  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/i9790
[08:30] <nickrud> zoexii: stop right there. SATA can be awkward, and I don't have one to play around with. We've already hit 'the point'
[08:30] <soundray> private_meta: two possibilities: 1) your router is configured as the DNS server -> make sure it's address is in /etc/resolv.conf; 2) you use an external DNS server -> make sure that it is listed in /etc/resolv.conf
[08:30] <soundray> *its
[08:30] <zoexii> nickrud, um, alright... where should I look to figure this out then?
[08:30] <backz> hi all ... I'm trying to put 'nameserver 192.168.0.1' to my /etc/resolv.conf but there are something updating this file... whats is?
[08:30] <soundray> I hate it when this mistake happens (it's rather than its as a possessive)
[08:30] <k31th> whens the server distro of ubuntu out>?
[08:31] <private_meta> soundray: the dns server set up in the network configuration is the same as on the laptop that i use now...
[08:31] <johndarkhorse> k31th: it is out, now.
[08:31] <soundray> private_meta: can you ping its IP?
[08:31] <k31th> johndarkhorse: it is ??
[08:31] <private_meta> soundray: the DNS' IP?
[08:31] <soundray> private_meta: yes
[08:32] <nickrud> zoexii: grub-install. it's probably grub-install /dev/sda , but again, I have no experience with sata
[08:32] <private_meta> soundray: yes, i can
[08:33] <soundray> private_meta: but you still can't ping anything by the hostname?
[08:33] <backz> there are something on my file? why I can't put nameserver 192.168.0.1 on my /etc/resolv.conf ?
[08:33] <private_meta> i can't even ping THIS computer by IP-Address
[08:33] <private_meta> if it was just for the hostname i would just pick a different DNS
[08:33] <private_meta> *DNS-Server
[08:33] <private_meta> but i just can't get any connection to the outside
[08:33] <soundray> private_meta: have you got ipmasq or some other NAT package installed?
[08:34] <private_meta> soundray: i don't think so... i didn't change anything from the last time it worked
[08:34] <private_meta> but i'll look
[08:34] <private_meta> i can't remember installing ipmasq
[08:35] <molkko> I have installed breezy badger about ten times without problems. now i am trying to install it and "partition disks" menu has different entries than usually
[08:35] <private_meta> soundray: and i have a public ip address, if that is any help
[08:35] <molkko> it does not let me create nor delete any partitions. whats going on. any idea?
[08:35] <soundray> private_meta: I'm not sure I fully understand your problem. It seems that the DHCP setup is fine. You can ping your nameserver. Can you ping localhost?
[08:35] <zoexii> nickrud, returns: /dev/mapper/casper-snapshot does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.  I have no idea what it means
[08:36] <private_meta> i can ping localhost, the gateway, the dhcp and the dns
[08:36] <private_meta> but that's it
[08:36] <ui> someone help me >.< i cant run azureus http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9790
[08:36] <nickrud> zoexii: neither do I
[08:36] <backz> whats is releasing my /etc/resolv.conf ?
[08:36] <soundray> private_meta: can you ping 193.99.144.85 ?
[08:36] <mivecz> i download  a video  but i  can not see  why
[08:36] <private_meta> wait
[08:37] <private_meta> soundray: yes, that one i can ping as well...
[08:37] <ui> !ping
[08:37] <ubotu> pong
[08:37] <asterisk99> I have a bin/bash script question   Are there any script gurus here???
[08:37] <soundray> asterisk99: just ask, and judge by the responses.
[08:37] <soundray> private_meta: what happens when you ping www.heise.de ?
[08:38] <asterisk99> How do I put a command like apt-get into a script?
[08:38] <ui> someone help me >.< i cant run azureus http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9790
[08:38] <lingerance> I can't get apt-get to work, neither does synaptic
[08:39] <private_meta> soundray: weird... that works too...
[08:39] <soundray> asterisk99: on a line by itself, just like you would enter it interactively. You'll have to run your script with sudo.
[08:39] <ubuntu_> hey
[08:39] <mivecz> i download  a video  but i  can not see  why
[08:39] <ubuntu_> im using ubuntu
[08:39] <soundray> private_meta: that's good news. Now, what is it that doesn't work?
[08:40] <ubuntu_> nice
[08:40] <lingerance> asterisk99: If you know it's going to ask for a password put echo YOURPASSHERE | sudo ...
[08:40] <private_meta> e.g. pinging my laptop, pinging my school server, getting connection to the update server, ...
[08:40] <myki> Where can I find log with messages, that appear when linux starts? I can't find it.
[08:40] <soundray> lingerance: that's not safe or sound.

[08:40] <ccesario> hey peoples.. I have one mini ubuntu running in flash card.... I need one web admin interface (very very small) ... any idea  pls..?

[08:41] <mivecz> i download  a video  but i  can not see  why
[08:41] <ccesario> Emperor, I have +/- 8MB free space
[08:42] <myki> Emperor: when ubuntu starts I have graphical window, just as in windows, but I can see 'fail' at one moment. I'm just trying to find out what has failed.
[08:42] <soundray> private_meta: does your laptop have a separate public IP?
[08:42] <Emperor> in what format is this video ? what media players and codec's do you have installen, if you did not, do this. oh, an wmv9 isnt supported
[08:42] <private_meta> soundray: wtf... now, after an hour being connecting and trying it... i can connect to irc.freenode.net
[08:42] <myki> When ubuntu starts I have graphical window, just as in windows, but I can see 'fail' at one moment. I'm just trying to find out what has failed.
[08:42] <soundray> private_meta: all our shaking must have loosened something ;)
[08:42] <johndarkhorse> myki: does the system start properly?
[08:42] <Emperor> myki, aha.. hmm apci fails here all the time :)
[08:42] <myki> yes

[08:43] <johndarkhorse> myki: lots of us have 'fail' on one line or other
[08:43] <ui> thanks alot
[08:43] <ui> -.-
[08:43] <myki> johndarkhorse: so no have to worry, since everything works and I can see no smoke from back of my box?
[08:44] <johndarkhorse> myki: right. as long as you see no magic smoke escaping, you are fine. :)

[08:47] <lingerance> Anyone know how to get apt-get or synaptic to work?  To fix Synaptic I need to use apt-get, but I don't know how to stop this error message (in auth logs): localhost sudo lingerance : command not allowed ; TTY=unknown ; PWD=/home/lingerance ; USER=root ; COMMAND=validate
[08:47] <private_meta> tjat
[08:47] <private_meta> that's totally fucked up...
[08:47] <johndarkhorse> ubotu: tell lingerance about synaptic
[08:47] <lingerance> Synaptic doesn't display anything when I try to run it and niether does apt-get
[08:47] <backz> whats is recreating my /etc/resolv.conf ?
[08:48] <soundray> backz, probably dhcp
[08:48] <soundray> lingerance: are you in the admin group?
[08:48] <backz> soundray, I've changed eth0 to use static address
[08:49] <soundray> backz: any other interfaces with dhcp? eth1? wlan0?
[08:49] <lingerance> johndarkhorse: I know
[08:49] <backz> eth0 static, eth1 static... I've tun0 of openvpn
[08:49] <lingerance> soundray: How do I find out, I'm the only other user other than root
[08:50] <pha> I've some problems with oidentd,if someone would look at this.. http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/348/ - maybe you can help me ;)
[08:50] <soundray> lingerance: enter "groups" in a terminal.
[08:50] <private_meta> soundray: i have another question if you don't mind... how do you change GRUB startup order?
[08:51] <lingerance> soundray: doesn't look like it, how can I join the group?
[08:51] <soundray> lingerance: you will have to boot in recovery mode and run 'adduser lingerance admin'
[08:51] <lingerance> soundray: thanks, brb
[08:52] <soundray> private_meta: you mean the order of the grub menu items?
[08:52] <private_meta> yes
[08:52] <Shed> private_meta http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#changedefaultosgrub
[08:52] <soundray> private_meta: don't use ubuntuguide
[08:52] <soundray> !ubuntuguide
[08:52] <ubotu> [ubuntuguide]  out of date, reported to break a lot and generally a bad source for information. Use help.ubuntu.com or wiki.ubuntu.com instead
[08:52] <Shed> Oh :(
[08:53] <ERic_NL> i have a problem installing amsn.deb
[08:53] <soundray> private_meta: you can take control of the grub menu order, but it will break automatic updates when you install a kernel.
[08:53] <ERic_NL> i tried it with sudo dpkg -i package_file.deb
[08:53] <soundray> private_meta: you should try another way. What do you want to do?
[08:54] <private_meta> soundray: tbh i want win on first place of the list, out of various reasons
[08:54] <Jowi> ERic_NL: you need to provide a bit more info. error messages?
[08:54] <soundray> private_meta: no need to apologise ;)
[08:54] <Pistahh> hi
[08:55] <backz> soundray, when I try to edit /etc/resolv.conf it returns it: WARNING: The file has been changed since reading it!!!
[08:55] <Pistahh> may I ask which wiki engine is used on wiki.ubuntu.com ?
[08:55] <pavlovsdog> just enable savedefault in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:55] <backz> soundray, I need to put 192.168.0.1 as default nameserver....
[08:55] <pavlovsdog> sheesh
[08:55] <johndarkhorse> Pistahh: moinmoin
[08:55] <Pistahh> johndarkhorse: danke
[08:55] <soundray> private_meta: find out the number of the win entry (first "title" line is 0) and enter that number on the "default" line somewhere near the top of /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:57] <soundray> backz: your /etc/resolv.conf seems to be open all the time. If you're lucky, you'll find out with 'lsof | grep resolv.conf' what opens it.
[08:57] <ERic_NL> Jowi: some like paste gave failure 2 back(tranlate from dutch)
[08:57] <private_meta> oy... write protected... gotta open as root XD
[08:58] <Jowi> ERic_NL: that doesn't help me one bit. maybe you could try in the dutch channel
[08:58] <Jowi> !nl
[08:58] <ubotu> Op #ubuntu-nl staat de koffie al voor je klaar.
[08:58] <Jowi> ERic_NL: at least you will be able to get a proper translation of the error :)
[08:59] <soundray> private_meta: try this "grep ^title /boot/grub/menu.lst | nl -v 0 | grep -i windows" ;)
[08:59] <pha> I've some problems with oidentd,if someone would look at this.. http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/348/ - maybe you can help me ;)
[08:59] <private_meta> soundray: i changed the default os alredy
[08:59] <private_meta> *already
[08:59] <lingerance> soundray: No admin group, should I create it?  I added myself to root, but I still get the same message
[09:00] <soundray> private_meta: do you know about 'grub-reboot 0'?
[09:00] <private_meta> oups... i changed it to "Other OS:"
[09:00] <private_meta> soundray: no
[09:00] <soundray> private_meta: Reboots into the specified OS entry in menu.lst
[09:01] <[blah] > whats a good boot manager?
[09:01] <private_meta> soundray: as a command in the shell?
[09:01] <kposmyk> Hi...  where Can I find short manual how to migrate from ATA to SATA ?   ...  or mayby someone here will tell me what did I wrong ?
[09:01] <johndarkhorse> kposmyk: usually one unplugs one, and plugs in the other
[09:01] <soundray> lingerance: if you haven't got an admin group, something is seriously wrong. It's difficult to decide the best strategy from here :(
[09:01] <soundray> private_meta: yes
[09:01] <pavlovsdog> you have grub and udev and didn't look before you leapt... that's what you did wrong
[09:02] <private_meta> thxs, nice to know
[09:02] <lingerance> soundray: reinstall?
[09:02] <soundray> private_meta: it needs sudo of course. Check 'man grub-reboot'
[09:02] <acnunes> dfs
[09:02] <soundray> lingerance: I would try a reinstall, unless I had invested a lot into setting up the system already.
[09:02] <damotor> anybody knows how can I run every program emulated with wine in a window (even thoose in full screen)?
[09:02] <kposmyk> johndarkhorse: my problem is about grub
[09:03] <pavlovsdog> so i said
[09:03] <davidhouse> hey. i've installed apache2. how do i start httpd? `which httpd` and `which httpd2` are empty.
[09:04] <johndarkhorse> ubotu: tell davidhouse about lamp
[09:04] <johndarkhorse> davidhouse: check your priv msgs
[09:04] <davidhouse> thanks johndarkhorse.
[09:04] <Jowi> davidhouse: /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[09:04] <pier> Hello ;)
[09:04] <PuMpErNiCkLe> hi
[09:04] <davidhouse> jowi, handy. same as suse then :) cheers.
[09:04] <mbb> anyone got hands-on using a >137Gig drive in an older PC? Presumably LBA48 is in Dapper/Breezy's kernel, not sure.
[09:04] <gnomefreak> night
[09:05] <LjL> davidhouse: /etc/init.d/apache start or /etc/init.d/apache2 start i guess
[09:05] <private_meta> soundray: as i already look like a total noob i can ask this question too: what to do to make ubuntu update again? >_>
[09:05] <soundray> lingerance: you could of course try 'addgroup admin', but it whatever deleted your admin group might have wrought more havoc.
[09:05] <pier>  /etc/init.d/httpd start
[09:05] <pier> could help too
[09:05] <soundray> private_meta: 'sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade'
[09:06] <backz> soundray, it don't shows what was changed the file... another idea?
[09:06] <pier> doods, should I start tweaking my mime file to have 5.10's nautilus to work with smb shares?
[09:06] <pier> or is it a bug ?
[09:06] <private_meta> whoa... that bitch sure has a lot of updating to do
[09:06] <pier> private_meta, I hope he/she's not on isdn as I'm ;)
[09:07] <soundray> backz: no, sorry, I'm out...
[09:07] <private_meta> pier: it's worse... 4mbit line with 500 users
[09:07] <pier> eheh
[09:07] <backz> soundray, ok, thank you
[09:07] <xgoan> hi
[09:07] <xgoan> How can I block a program to connect to internet?
[09:08] <soundray> backz: ask again, perhaps someone else will have an idea how to troubleshoot.
[09:08] <pier> xgoan, pretty simple if you know which port(s) this program use
[09:08] <lingerance> soundray: I actually just installed ubuntu 5.10 i386
[09:08] <backz> hi... Im trying put nameserver 192.168.0.1 on my /etc/resolv.conf but there are something rewriting this file and removing my entry... what is it?
[09:08] <xgoan> I can't know it
[09:09] <pier> bachler, dhcpd
[09:09] <LjL> backz: dhcp possibly?
[09:09] <pier> err backz
[09:09] <pier> yup
[09:09] <soundray> lingerance: in that case, I suggest you do it again.
[09:09] <pier> dhclient is ebil ;)
[09:09] <backz> LjL, I was dhcp on eth0, but I change it to static
[09:09] <LjL> it does its job i s'pose
[09:09] <lingerance> soundray: Meaning reinstall?  Or try adding myself to the admin group again?
[09:09] <soundray> lingerance: it may be worth saving your downloaded packages (/var/cache/apt/archives), so you don't have to do it again.
[09:09] <backz> and /etc/inid.d/networking restart! :P
[09:10] <LjL> backz: well if you don't need dhcp just try disabling dhcpd (or dhclient or whatever it is) completely
[09:10] <lingerance> soundray: alright, thanks
[09:10] <backz> LjL, I use this machine as dhcpd server...
[09:10] <LjL> hm
[09:11] <private_meta> wow... done already...
[09:11] <soundray> lingerance: I meant reinstall. But it's really up to you. Fixing it could be a learning opportunity. On the other hand, if you need to do some work on ubuntu, you may be quicker reinstalling it.
[09:11] <backz> LjL, I've killed dhcpd client on eth0 hahahaha... it was running now
[09:11] <LjL> what about setting /etc/resolv.conf read only?
[09:11] <LjL> though if the offending process is running as root, i don't think that'll help too much
[09:11] <backz> LjL, yeah... too... but the pid runs on root and can change it
[09:12] <private_meta> 72MB updates... WTH!
[09:12] <LjL> backz: hmm wait a moment i have *not* set my nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf
[09:12] <LjL> backz: instead, i have a "dns-nameservers my.dns.ip.address" entry in my /etc/network/interfaces, under eth0
[09:12] <LjL> perhaps you could do that too
[09:12] <private_meta> at 15k... omg...
[09:12] <bockman> how do i install gcc documentation on breezy?
[09:13] <LjL> bockman: perhaps manpages-dev is what you want
[09:13] <pavlovsdog> manpages-dev maybe
[09:13] <HappyFool> bockman: also gcc-doc   (info pages for gcc)
[09:13] <soundray> Bye folks.
[09:13] <pavlovsdog> you blocked my pacets, i was first!
[09:13] <pavlovsdog> packets
[09:13] <Jowi> bye soundray
[09:13] <LjL> >:
[09:13] <trappist> packetblocker.
[09:13] <private_meta> soundray: i just home my computer doesn't give up on me while i'm downloading those updates
[09:13] <backz> LjL, it works!!! I kill dhpc client on eth0 and my resolv.conf is igually
[09:13] <bockman> thanks (maybe that should be installed with build essential?)
[09:14] <lingerance> Anyone know how to switch users inside an X-window terminal?
[09:14] <bockman> or have a more obvious name
[09:14] <LjL> backz: cool :)
[09:14] <bcnl> I'm having troubles with strange charactes in my manual pages, and I think it's related to unicode can anyone help?
[09:14] <trappist> bockman: more obvious than gcc-doc?
[09:14] <LjL> bockman: well it's not quite essential to building
[09:14] <curley_sue> HELP I'm trying to use vim in Fluxbox and get strange BACKSPACE and TAB behaviour. BS is like DEL and TAB indents the begining of the line (no matter where I'm editing)
[09:14] <Jowi> lingerance: sudo login username
[09:14] <trappist> bcnl: try 'unset LANG' and see if that helps
[09:15] <LjL> bockman: i think build-essential is mostly mean to let you compile source tarballs, rather than to let you start programming
[09:15] <bcnl> trappist: rad
[09:15] <bcnl> thanks
[09:15] <trappist> curley_sue: try export TERM=xterm
[09:15] <trappist> curley_sue: or Eterm if that doesn't work, or linux if you get desperate
[09:15] <Windows-Crashed-> hi there
[09:15] <trappist> or even vt100
[09:16] <brendanh> question: i called LSI about my raid card that doesnt seem to wor under breezy 5.10 and they told me to build my own driver. however, i can't get thru ubuntu install b/c it gives E:unimplemented function when it comes time to partition. (also shows ???? ???? and gets stuck)... how would i make use of this?
[09:16] <LjL> trappist: or export TERM=telegraph if you really don't know where to throw your head
[09:16] <Windows-Crashed-> is it possible to run kde4 on ubuntu 5.10?
[09:16] <Bean> Hmmm, is there a way to view/mount cd images?
[09:16] <trappist> LjL: never heard of that one.  sounds scary :)
[09:16] <LjL> trappist: i just made it up :)
[09:16] <trappist> Bean: sudo mount -o loop filename.iso /mnt/point

[09:17] <matt_> hi all
[09:17] <trappist> too slow.
[09:17] <liquidboy> i've installed fsviewer, but when i try to start it, i get this error "fsviewer warning: ICONDIR not found: /usr/GNUstep/Apps/FSViewer.app"
[09:17] <Bean> trappist, HappyFool, what about a .bin/.cue format?
[09:17] <liquidboy> and it doent start
[09:17] <private_meta> pff
[09:17] <liquidboy> what am i doing wrong?
[09:17] <trappist> Bean: use bchunk to convert to iso
[09:17] <private_meta> why does wine always have the biggest updates?
[09:17] <backz> LjL, thank you man... it is running perfect... wow! cya man
[09:17] <Bean> trappist, thanks, will look for it
[09:18] <Jowi> liquidboy: a guess: probably you need to set the iconpath in the fsviewer config file.
[09:18] <liquidboy> jowi, where would that be?
[09:18] <Jowi> liquidboy: try "man fsviewer"
[09:18] <matt_> Hi all, can anyone help me with getting a quickcam setup?? i have got everything loaded i think but its just not working, has anyone in here installed one before?
[09:18] <curley_sue> trappist, but it the same for gvim and only for the vim apps. btw what does it do TERM (I've checked my env and it says: TERM=xterm
[09:19] <deemo> hey everyone, does anyone here know why my web based svn is giving a 500 Internal Server error?
[09:19] <LjL> matt_: yeah but it worked out of the box. tried...
[09:19] <LjL> !webcam
[09:19] <ubotu> methinks webcam is now easy to install, per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Webcam - webcam support soon to be available in amsn and gaim-vv.
[09:19] <Jowi> liquidboy: i never used fsviewer but some gnustep settings are in /home/user/GNUstep
[09:19] <reggaemanu> matt_, compile this driver http://home.mag.cx/messenger/source/qc-usb-messenger-1.1.tar.gz
[09:20] <matt_> reggaemanu, that is the driver i have installed
[09:20] <matt_> well i thought i had
[09:20] <trappist> curley_sue: I just checked and my TERM=Eterm, and my vim behaves ok.  also in vim try :set backspace=indent,eol,start
[09:20] <reggaemanu> matt_, i use it and it's work fine
[09:20] <XeruX> How can I fix this; oyvinhoi@bboyvinhoi:~$ vmware
[09:20] <XeruX> /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib32/libcairo.so.2)
[09:20] <LjL> curley_sue: try using emacs
[09:20] <funkyHat> ARGH, DAMNED HIGHLIGHTS
[09:20] <trappist> XeruX: I get the same thing, but it's just a warning.  vmware still works.
[09:20] <funkyHat> Sorry O:-)
[09:20] <reggaemanu> matt_, you've just compile it? (no reboot or manually load the driver) ?
[09:21] <XeruX> trappist: It doesn't work here :(
[09:21] <XeruX> I wanna fix it :P
[09:21] <trappist> XeruX: is that all it says?  mine says that then runs just fine.
[09:21] <matt_> maually tried to load the driver?  should a reboot make a difference.  Hang on i will try this easycam that someone has just pasted to me
[09:21] <XeruX> "Unable to initialize host:"
[09:21] <XeruX> ^ it says that too
[09:22] <LjL> XeruX: kernel module not loaded perhaps?
[09:22] <curley_sue> LjL,  :-)
[09:22] <XeruX> LjL: nope, it is
[09:22] <reggaemanu> matt_, if you haven't manually load the driver or reboot, type 'sudo modprobe quickcam' and it will be fine
[09:22] <XeruX> it's loaded perfectly
[09:22] <curley_sue> trappist, what does it do?
[09:22] <liquidboy> jowi, i have the fsviewer config file, dont really know what im looking for
[09:22] <XeruX> but how can I fix my libpng problem =
[09:22] <matt_> reggaemanu, already tried that doesn't work
[09:22] <trappist> curley_sue: I don't really know how all the termcap stuff works, I just know some of what happens when I set TERM to x vs. y
[09:23] <matt_> or atleast my way of testing it doesn't, will try this easycam then get back to the channel if its still not working
[09:23] <Jowi> liquidboy: try to see if there's a line that say "icondir" or "pixmaps" or something like that
[09:23] <matt_> can you tell me how to unload the driver to start from scratch
[09:23] <matt_> ???
[09:23] <trappist> XeruX: your distro-provided libcairo wants more information from your vmware-provided libpng than it wants to give up.  I think vmware corp. will have to solve that for you.
[09:23] <reggaemanu> matt_, sudo rmmod quickcam
[09:24] <matt_> okay i think that worked
[09:24] <liquidboy> jowi, neither :(
[09:24] <XeruX> well, I can't fucking run vmware :(
[09:24] <LjL> XeruX: use qemu :) and please watch your language...
[09:24] <liquidboy> jowi, it seems to be just a list of what app to use for different file formats
[09:24] <johndarkhorse> XeruX: language please, it doesnt help fix anything
[09:24] <XeruX> o0
[09:24] <XeruX> what the
[09:25] <LjL> ... heck? :)
[09:25] <XeruX> It suddenly fails to load the modules
[09:25] <XeruX> LjL: exactly
[09:25] <XeruX> :)
[09:25] <reggaemanu> matt_, you're on breezy?
[09:25] <LjL> XeruX: i gave up on vmware myself
[09:25] <Jowi> liquidboy: then i have no idea. *maybe* if you install the gnustep icons it will be ok.
[09:25] <trappist> XeruX: grab this: http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-any-update98.tar.gz untar it and sudo ./runme.pl therein
[09:26] <LjL> XeruX: (not that i've tried too hard)
[09:26] <Jowi> need to reboot. dapper dist-upgrade is done
[09:26] <Jowi> bbl
[09:26] <XeruX> trappist: what's that for ?
[09:26] <trappist> XeruX: newer kernels don't work so well with the module interfaces shipped by vmware.  this patches them and reruns your vmware-config.pl
[09:27] <aquarius> I've got an HP laptop and am running Dapper. How can I get an external monitor to work? Fn+F4 (the switch-to-monitor key) doesn't switch in X. It does switch in the console.
[09:27] <XeruX> trappist: It says it found the right module for my kernel
[09:27] <bdash> hi all
[09:27] <XeruX> well.. I'll give it a shit
[09:27] <XeruX> shot'
[09:28] <trappist> the guy who writes these vmware-any-any-updates has his shot together
[09:28] <XeruX> same errors after running that one, trappist
[09:28] <trappist> always works for me
[09:28] <trappist> XeruX: you wanna pastebin the entire output?

[09:34] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[09:34] <trappist> XeruX: my guess is more permissions issues.  I dunno where those are supposed to be, but you could do like this: strace -e trace=file -o vmware.strace vmware ... then search vmware.strace for references to images that couldn't be found, permission denied msgs etc.
[09:35] <smile> trappist: ok, it's off, sorry again mate.
[09:35] <trappist> smile: it's all good.  please feel free to file this 'feature' as the bug that it is on xchat ;)
[09:35] <mihatsu> hi! i try to launch amsn 0.95 in dapper but it gives me "Segmentation fault" error. Any ideas how I fix it?
[09:36] <smile> trappist ;D Okie
[09:36] <trappist> mihatsu: #ubuntu+1 for dapper questions
[09:36] <liquidboy> i marked "gnustep" for instalation and synaptic wanted to uninstall xubuntu desktop... what's with that?
[09:36] <mihatsu> trappist: ok
[09:36] <curley_sue> trappist, if I start vim form the urxvt backspace is ok , tab still indents the begining of the line and... no colors in vim no more
[09:36] <XeruX> trappist: same happens when I start vmware as root
[09:36] <trappist> liquidboy: xubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage.  uninstalling it won't really do anything.
[09:36] <XeruX> the image problem
[09:37] <XeruX> trappist: http://osteloff.spitfusion.no/vmware/
[09:37] <XeruX> ^ screenshot
[09:37] <trappist> curley_sue: definitely sounds like a termcap issue, but I don't know much more than I've already said.  you might ask in #vim
[09:37] <liquidboy> trappist, it also wanted to unintall xfce4-terminal
[09:38] <curley_sue> trappist, thanx! (didn't know about the channel, good idea!)
[09:38] <trappist> liquidboy: *shrug* I guess there's just some conflicts/dependency issues
[09:38] <js_> where on the harddrive is the mbr located?
[09:38] <trappist> js_: the first 512 bytes
[09:38] <trappist> iirc
[09:39] <js_> thanks
[09:39] <liquidboy> trappist, oh right, sweet
[09:39] <XeruX> trappist: http://osteloff.spitfusion.no/vmware/Screenshot-vmware.png <- that one :p
[09:39] <trappist> XeruX: yeah I saw it.  never seen it before.  tracking it down with strace like I mentioned above is what I'd probably try next, but it won't be fun.
[09:40] <XeruX> awww
[09:40] <XeruX> :S
[09:40] <XeruX> well, I know where the next button is, that's all I need to know
[09:40] <XeruX> lol
[09:40] <trappist> XeruX: you might also try sudo rm -rf /etc/vmware /home/oyvinhoi/.vmware and uninstall/reinstall vmware

[09:41] <usr> I need some help setting up apache2 on ubuntu
[09:43] <sixoh> usr, apt-get install apache2
[09:43] <biloyp> usr, did you read the Help docs that came with ubuntu
[09:43] <johndarkhorse> ubotu: tell usr about lamp
[09:43] <johndarkhorse> usr: check your priv msgs
[09:43] <usr> where can I read them biloyp
[09:43] <usr> ok thanks
[09:44] <biloyp> usr, click on the life ring icon on ur desktop
[09:44] <usr> I already have apache with php and all that.. how can I remove them all
[09:44] <s1> how do I burn an iso to cd from commandline?
[09:44] <biloyp> usr, maybe with the Synaptic Pacake Manager
[09:44] <ScreaminIke> if i leave port 5900 open with no password for vnc access, can someone help me with tcpdump to log all connections?
[09:44] <LjL> s1: cdrecord -data -sao image.iso, or similar
[09:44] <johndarkhorse> s1: there is a neat li'l program at sourceforge.net called "bashburn"
[09:44] <slvmchn> what's a good program to capture a rendering window to a video file?
[09:44] <trappist> s1: sudo cdrecord -dao -dev=/dev/hdX filename.iso where hdX is your real cd burner
[09:44] <corhere> I have a computer which I would like to have beep (echo -e '\a') when it finishes booting (reaching the login prompt). How can I do this?
[09:45] <LjL> corhere: create a script in /etc/init.d that beeps, and register it with the lowest priority using update-rc.d, i guess
[09:45] <XeruX> How do you get TeamSpeak working on ubuntu btw ?
[09:46] <s1> thanks! :D
[09:46] <amonkey> i'm trying to get twinview working, but only one will turn on. in the xorg logs it deteects both monitors correctly, but at the end says (WW) NV(0): Option "TwinView " is not used
[09:46] <Bram_Janssen> Hello people
[09:46] <smile> Hello Bram_Janssen
[09:46] <xanavim> what is the default name/password for cups at http://localhost:631/admin?
[09:46] <corhere> LjL: thank you
[09:46] <biloyp> anyone ever used Linux to fax, if so what app do you recommend..I know about wvdial but how about a Gui app
[09:46] <ScreaminIke> if i leave port 5900 open with no password for vnc access, can someone help me with tcpdump to log all connections?
[09:46] <trappist> xanavim: there is none.  it's disabled.  see /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to enable it.
[09:46] <vadersolo> hi there
[09:46] <SuperK> Hey all, trying to install seamonkey in hoary but it keeps telling me that I do not have permission even though I am logged in as root, anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Ttried apt-get but no seamonkey available
[09:46] <Bram_Janssen> Am I the first Acer user to have lost all sound on his machine?
[09:46] <LjL> xanavim: i think it's disabled by default. doesn't it say it's disabled at the top of the page?
[09:47] <vadersolo> how do I go to the set up program?
[09:47] <FireCat> corhere: If you get that to work could you post how you did it? I have some long running startup scripts that would be nice for, even nicer it it did a sound file instead of a simple beep
[09:48] <corhere> FireCat: i guess you could run mpg123 in the script
[09:48] <LjL> FireCat: the beep itself is as simple as he said, i.e. echo -e "\a"... for a wave file, you can use "play filename.wav"
[09:48] <usr> should I use apache or apache2?
[09:48] <johndarkhorse> usr: apache2, of course  :)
[09:48] <FireCat> LjL: Thanks
[09:48] <tatters> how would I give ownership of a folder /etc/moodeldata read and write access to nobody user?
[09:49] <trappist> tatters: with chmod and chown
[09:49] <trappist> each of which has a great man page
[09:49] <LjL> trappist: (not really, not chmod)
[09:49] <tatters> how would u type it trappist ?
[09:50] <biloyp> ubotu, fax
[09:50] <ubotu> Huh? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, biloyp
[09:50] <LjL> trappist: oh, actually it's got much better since i last checked
[09:50] <tatters> hmm theres always 100 ways to do same thing it can get mightely confusing :/
[09:50] <ScreaminIke> one more time....
[09:50] <ScreaminIke> if i leave port 5900 open with no password for vnc access, can someone help me with tcpdump to log all connections?
[09:50] <trappist> LjL: the chmod man page might be guilty of being so informative that it's hard to find what you're looking for
[09:50] <corhere> is there a better way to playing a sound at the completion of startup than using update-rc.d?
[09:51] <vadersolo> how do I tell ubuntu tol reconfigure my X server?
[09:51] <trappist> ScreaminIke: if you just want to see what's hitting it, iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 5900 -j LOG --log-prefix "vnc_connection: "
[09:51] <vadersolo> I changed my video card
[09:51] <LjL> vadersolo: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[09:51] <vadersolo> le tme try it
[09:51] <FireCat> corhere: I would think that would be the only guaranteed way to do it. I never thought to do that myself. I just keep trying to login until it finally lets me in
[09:51] <rvec> ubuntu irc
[09:52] <tatters> so chown  user nobody /etc/moodledata ?
[09:52] <biloyp> no joy finding a good fax program there...any suggestions, recomendations
[09:52] <LjL> tatters: that would scare me, but... guess so. actually, "chown user:nobody /etc/moodledata", where user is your user, afair
[09:53] <biloyp> usr, those help docs are for apache2
[09:53] <tatters> well its outside of my web directory i need apache server to have read wirte access
[09:53] <LjL> biloyp: i can only suggest "apt-cache search fax"
[09:53] <s|k> ubotu: xgl
[09:53] <ubotu> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/XglHowto - Join #ubuntu-xgl for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems. It works ONLY on dapper. Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/
[09:53] <nickrud> biloyp: I use gtk-efax and efax (no modem yet on dapper, darn)
[09:53] <vadersolo> LjL: isnt there a simpler way?
[09:54] <biloyp> LjL, ok thx
[09:54] <tatters> LjL: Y would it scare u?
[09:54] <biloyp> let me give it a try
[09:54] <tristanmike> #ubuntu-xgl
[09:54] <LjL> vadersolo: sure, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:54] <LjL> tatters: well, giving a file in /etc worldwide write access isn't my favorite hobby ;)
[09:54] <usr> ok I got apache2 now how can I run it?
[09:54] <vadersolo> LjL: and how the installer did it automatically?
[09:54] <LjL> vadersolo: i do not know.
[09:54] <vadersolo> LjL: I did not have to answer like 100 questions
[09:54] <biloyp> nickrud...thx I will go search for those and read up some
[09:54] <sinaduel> I was wondering how I could full erase DVD's in linux, I don't think I have a program to do that
[09:54] <albert> hey does anyone know how to install ATI drivers for Ubuntu
[09:54] <LjL> vadersolo: i guess it just runs dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and "presses Enter" at all the questions.
[09:55] <biloyp> sinaduel,,try k3b
[09:55] <Jar1go> hey, im trying to install a wireless network card on ubuntu its Belkin 54g USB
[09:55] <sinaduel> I did but It wasn't responding
[09:55] <biloyp> not sure if it will erase dvds
[09:55] <albert> I am trying to get americas army to run but with no luck
[09:56] <albert> I think I need display drivers first
[09:56] <tatters> LjL: basically apache server needs read write aceess to that folder so where is best place to put it? /etc/var/ww maybe?
[09:56] <LjL> tatters: uh, what's the folder's purpose?
[09:57] <LjL> tatters: (and, does apache run as user nobody?)
[09:57] <Jar1go> !ndiswrapper
[09:57] <ubotu> rumour has it, ndiswrapper is a way to support Windows wireless drivers, but it is buggy compared to native support. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[09:57] <nickrud> vadersolo: you can reproduce that with sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg (or maybe -pcritical)
[09:57] <birdfish> If I currently have my network interface configured for dhcp but need to have it configured for Static IP on boot, how do I get rid of the dhcp settings?
[09:57] <tatters> You need a place where Moodle can save uploaded files. This directory should be readable AND WRITEABLE by the web server user (usually 'nobody' or 'apache'),
[09:57] <Stormx2> Is there a good way to send a command to the background?
[09:57] <theine> tatters, /etc is no place for that, i'd suggest /var/www
[09:57] <EmprCezar> command &
[09:57] <sgtbaker> Hey, can anyone give me any pointers on how to tweak my dvd player settings to make dvds play smoother?
[09:57] <nickrud> Stormx2: hohup <command>
[09:57] <johndarkhorse> ubotu: tell sgtbaker about dma
[09:58] <FireCat> albert: All I do is install linux-restricted-modules, then xorg-driver-fglrx  then run aticonfig. Backup your xorg.conf religiously, and descriptively
[09:58] <nickrud> Stormx2: you can even close the terminal after that
[09:58] <johndarkhorse> sgtbaker: check your priv msgs
[09:58] <tatters> k so /www best place thnx
[09:58] <sgtbaker> ok
[09:58] <theine> tatters, /var/www
[09:58] <Stormx2> nickrud: says "hohup: command not found"
[09:58] <theine> Stormx2, it's nohup
[09:58] <Stormx2> oh, you wrote hohup :P
[09:59] <nickrud> Stormx2: garg, see theine (deja vu)
[09:59] <LjL> hohup sounds funny though
[09:59] <Ilokaaaasu> which command lists all processes with ID and then i can killall numberhere to shut it down ?
[09:59] <nickrud> that's not the first time I did that, I'm gonna file a bug for a rename
[09:59] <theine> Ilokaaaasu, ps x
[10:00] <Stormx2> sol1, if I ran "nohup ~/bin/runtwoserver" on gnome startup, gnome would work normally, and that command would be running?
[10:00] <Ilokaaaasu> theine thx
[10:00] <Stormx2> oops, not sol1
[10:00] <Stormx2> nickrud and theine infact, up ^^
[10:00] <theine> Stormx2, yes, but why do you actually need nohup in this case?
[10:01] <Stormx2> theine: This command keeps running, basicly.
[10:01] <theine> Stormx2, it will do anyway, no?
[10:01] <Stormx2> theine: And im trying to run it on gnome-startup, but when I do, gnome stalls, because it is waiting for the command to finish
[10:02] <theine> Stormx2, ah, i see...
[10:02] <Printer> Lo all.
[10:02] <Stormx2> Hi Printer
[10:02] <nickrud> Stormx2: add the ' ~/bin/runtwoserver & ' to ~/.gnomerc (create it if needed)
[10:02] <Stormx2> nickrud: OK :O
[10:02] <theine> Stormx2, maybe "command &" instead of "command" ?
[10:02] <albert> Trying to run ati-driver-installer-8.22.5-i386.run, get message saying You need to run this installer as the super user
[10:03] <nickrud> Stormx2: it's a config file that gets read during gnome startup, like .bashrc
[10:03] <albert> any suggestions, im a noob
[10:03] <Printer>  Iget this in Totem on some avi files : 'Video codec 'DivX 5' is not handled.'.  I do have libdivxdecore/encore installed.  What else would I need?
[10:03] <Stormx2> OK, I added '~/bin/runtwoserver &' to it :) Lets hope it works heh
[10:03] <tatters> how do I pull a list of all known users in CLI?
[10:04] <nickrud> tatters: cat /etc/passwd

[10:04] <slabby> hi
[10:04] <LjL> nickrud, tatters: nah. cat /etc/passwd | cut -f1 -d ":"    ;-)
[10:04] <theine> albert, you need to run the installer with fakeroot I think
[10:05] <theine> albert, i.e. "fakeroot sh ati-driver-installer-8.22.5-i386.run"
[10:05] <albert> how do I do that
[10:05] <KuDeTa> heya could somone help me out im a bit confused
[10:05] <albert> ok
[10:05] <nickrud> LjL: I have to read man pages <again> to do that 
[10:05] <KuDeTa> i wanna use the ndiswrapper on an amd64
[10:05] <theine> albert, fakeroot isn't installed by default, so: sudo apt-get install fakeroot
[10:05] <KuDeTa> im not sure weather the one isntalled with the dvd package i got is ok
[10:05] <KuDeTa> or not
[10:05] <tatters> LjL: what the bit on the end do?
[10:06] <KuDeTa> and if (any) changes i have to make to get it working
[10:06] <LjL> tatters: leave the user names and remove all the rest of the stuff

[10:08] <tatters> LjL: thnx for extra info that a nicer way of outputting
[10:08] <theine> albert, i.e. "fakeroot sh ~/Desktop/ati-driver-installer-8.22.5-i386.run"
[10:08] <albert> thanks
[10:08] <corhere> how do i make a new init.d script?
[10:09] <albert> any ideas on my firefox problem
[10:09] <mihatsu> albert: try launch it in console
[10:09] <LjL> corhere: just create one. in theory, it should respond to a "start", a "stop" and a "restart" argument, but i don't think you'll be killed if it doesn't.
[10:09] <matt_> i have installed easycam and camorama.  Easy cam seem to install okay, i then did the configuration bit for it and it found my camera and installed a driver called PWC.  It looks like it installed the driver fine.  I then load up camorama but it seems to pick up my tv card as appose to my webcam
[10:09] <LjL> corhere: so,   #/bin/sh        [newline]        echo -e "\a"
[10:09] <kaouete> hi
[10:10] <LjL> corhere: that's #!/bin/sh
[10:10] <matt_> How do i configure camorama to my webcam?? do you know where that will install too?  i guess there is a config file somewhere?
[10:10] <corhere> LjL: thanks for the help
[10:10] <matt_> There doesn't seem to be any config options within the application it self
[10:11] <LjL> corhere: you could even just add the beeping to /etc/initd/miscboot.sh, not sure if that's actually run last though
[10:11] <biloyp> nickrud, I gave gtk-efax a try but got this error "ESP Ghostscript 7.07.1: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1"  ???
[10:11] <corhere> LjL: I'll check that
[10:11] <biloyp> Said "Not valid postscript file"
[10:11] <NET||abuse> i'm hvaing major issues with msn on kopete
[10:11] <Ivka``> seen debian
[10:12] <nickrud> biloyp: that's exactly what happened; you need to convert whatever you're faxing to postscript first
[10:12] <NET||abuse> i can't seem to loginto msn or yahoo using kopete
[10:12] <biloyp> nickrud..what program should I use fo rthat"
[10:12] <NET||abuse> sorry sorry, msn or icq
[10:12] <NET||abuse> yahoo seems to work ??
[10:12] <NET||abuse> and this obviously
[10:12] <nickrud> biloyp: depends on what you're sending
[10:12] <Printer> Ah yes.  libxine-extracodecs.  :)
[10:13] <k31th> Is installing server from ubuntu cd then apt-get install kde-desktop pretty much the same as install kubuntu ?
[10:13] <biloyp> nickrud..sending a Open Office doc
[10:13] <nickrud> biloyp: I tend to send docs from openoffice, it prints to postscript
[10:13] <biloyp> nickrud..ahh ok
[10:13] <biloyp> let me try that
[10:14] <k31th> Anyone ?
[10:14] <corhere> bootmisc.sh is at priority 75, so it is not the lowest
[10:14] <KuDeTa> anyone can help me with ndiswrapper and amd64 please?
[10:14] <KuDeTa> much appreciated
[10:15] <Jar1go> hey, im trying to install a wireless network card on ubuntu its Belkin 54g USB
[10:15] <Jar1go> but i am failing atm
[10:15] <KuDeTa> jar1go
[10:15] <KuDeTa> me too!!
[10:15] <KuDeTa> same one :)
[10:15] <KuDeTa> u using ndis?
[10:15] <Jar1go> when i type ndiswrapper -l it like halts
[10:16] <LjL> corhere: uh, it's 55 for me
[10:16] <LjL> corhere: anyway just create your own. it's a piece of cake
[10:16] <KuDeTa> jar1go how far have you got?
[10:16] <Jar1go> chris@cpc2-burn2-5-0-cust125:~$ ndiswrapper -l
[10:16] <Jar1go>  <halts>
[10:16] <Jar1go> umm i "installed" the drivers
[10:17] <sharp_> yo all
[10:17] <sharp_> what will the next version after dapper be called?
[10:17] <KuDeTa> did you install the new ndis yourself?
[10:17] <LjL> corhere: then "update-rc.d yourscript 1 1" ought to work
[10:17] <KuDeTa> or using the one with ubuntu?
[10:18] <KuDeTa> i have the same belkin card...tryign to do the same thing
[10:18] <corhere> LjL: i just added the beeps to the end of /etc/init.d/rcS
[10:18] <KuDeTa> i havent started yet..been trying to read up on
[10:18] <KuDeTa> it
[10:18] <Jar1go> i did apt-get KuDeTa
[10:18] <Jar1go> brb
[10:18] <LjL> corhere: that sounds horrible.
[10:19] <sharp_> i think it should be called artuculated albatros
[10:19] <corhere> LjL: it should work, always beeping at the end of the boot-up, but not whenever a runlevel changes
[10:19] <sharp_> or vomiting vole
[10:19] <sharp_> not that its a decent description i just thi nk its funny
[10:20] <LjL> corhere: well, for one, i think anytime you dist-upgrade and there is a new version of that file, your custom one will be overwritten (probably without warning, as i don't think it's considered a config file)
[10:20] <biloyp> nickrud, ok I openned the OpenOffice help doc and found "1.Change to the {install_path}/program directory." but not sure where this is
[10:20] <private_meta> hmm
[10:20] <corhere> LjL: that file does not really change between dists and it is an easy fix if/when it does happen
[10:20] <private_meta> wine seems to bridle against being updated...
[10:21] <biloyp> nickrud..is that from the command line that I enter that?
[10:22] <LjL> corhere: oh well... anyway doing it "the right way" is only very slightly more complicated in my opinion. if you don't want beeps on runlevel changes, then update-rc.d has an extensive syntax for deciding what happens at what runlevel
[10:22] <KuDeTa> heya anybody here with experience of ndiswrapper?
[10:23] <sharp_> i wish because my freind needs to use it
[10:24] <nickrud> biloyp: work phone, a sec
[10:24] <biloyp> nickrud..ok np
[10:25] <Wes___> I was wondering if anyone had any Cisco 350 Wireless card drivers...
[10:25] <biloyp> must be from the command line
[10:25] <k31th> any kubuntu / ubuntu kde users how much ram ur system use ?
[10:25] <wonea> where can I get the latest version of java from?

[10:29] <Wes___> Anyone know of Cisco 350 Wireless drivers for Ubuntu?
[10:29] <Kyral> Ubuntu Running on VMWare?
[10:29] <biloyp> nickrud..ok thx.I found the spadmin prog to set up the fax..trying it now
[10:29] <KuDeTa> in vmware
[10:29] <KuDeTa> yes
[10:29] <sharp_> i havn't heard of vmware (well actually the name rings a bell but thats all)
[10:29] <KuDeTa> its a virtual machine
[10:29] <KuDeTa> so i can get used to nix while working inside windows
[10:29] <sharp_> which emulates linux distros?
[10:30] <sharp_> k
[10:30] <KuDeTa> no
[10:30] <KuDeTa> emulates a pc
[10:30] <KuDeTa> then you setup whatever distro inside it
[10:30] <leprechaun> it creates a virtual harddrive and memory etc
[10:30] <KuDeTa> yes
[10:30] <sharp_> ooooh
[10:30] <sharp_> i see
[10:30] <KuDeTa> its good
[10:30] <sharp_> hmm
[10:31] <KuDeTa> esp if you get it free :)
[10:31] <leprechaun> :)
[10:31] <sharp_> is it meant to be free?
[10:31] <nickrud> !enter
[10:31] <ubotu> please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying. Write in complete sentences and keep your replies and questions on one line if possible. Thanks!

[10:32] <Jar1go> hey, im trying to install a wireless network card on ubuntu its Belkin 54g USB
[10:32] <Jar1go> but i am failing atm
[10:32] <ubuntu_> i have both
[10:32] <Jar1go> when i type ndiswrapper -l it like halts
[10:33] <HymnToLife> do you have ubuntu installed ?
[10:33] <ubuntu_> yes
[10:33] <yosef> I'm experiancing system crashes after installing ati-drivers when using qt apps (e.g. amarok), anyone know how to fix this?
[10:33] <HymnToLife> then sudo apt-get install gparted
[10:33] <ubuntu_> i have windows and ubuntu and i want to re-size some harddrives
[10:33] <albert> I am so frustrated
[10:33] <sharp_> its kind of obvious he has ubuntu installed because he is using the default ubuntu username and xchat w/o changing name
[10:33] <albert> I cant get americas army to work
[10:34] <albert> im about to give up an dig out my old windows disks
[10:34] <HymnToLife> ubuntu_ > sudo apt-get install gparted
[10:34] <ubuntu_> are you SURE that will work?
[10:34] <birdfish>  How do I configure my network card to accept a static IP when it is already configured for dhcp?
[10:34] <ubuntu_> the 5.1 version with brezy or w.e
[10:35] <sharp_> i think some people need to get together to write a program to help people get wirless lans working on GNU/Linux apart from ndiswrapper (could utulise it)
[10:35] <albert> how do I run ATI config
[10:35] <HymnToLife> yes
[10:35] <albert> I have no clue how to work the konsole window at all
[10:35] <ubuntu_> sharp_ actually this is the default name for someone using the live CD, therefore someone who doesn't have it installed (possibly)
[10:35] <ubuntu_> because it asks you for your name when u install, and it uses that
[10:36] <albert> please help
[10:36] <HymnToLife> albert> well, open it and run your commands
[10:36] <yosef> albert fglrxconfig
[10:36] <HymnToLife> what is the problem ?
[10:36] <Sharperguy> oh, soz i havn't tryed th live cd
[10:36] <Stormx2> birdfish: Usually it will accept a static IP even if DHCP server is running
[10:36] <ubuntu_> anyways, thanks, i'll try
[10:36] <leprechaun> yeah iam ahving problems with my airforce one 54g card allthough iam running mepis so this sint the place to ask
[10:36] <albert> typed that exactly and it said command not found
[10:37] <yosef> anyone else have stability problems due to ati?
[10:37] <Sharperguy> maybea it is cos its still GNU
[10:37] <redguy> leprechaun: you are right, #mepis is the right place to ask
[10:37] <HymnToLife> albert> do you have the correct package installed ?
[10:37] <leprechaun> :P
[10:37] <Sharperguy> there is one on this server?
[10:37] <Sharperguy> kool
[10:37] <Glanzmann> Hello; Is it possible to boostrap a kubuntu with debootstrape under debian/sarge?
[10:37] <Sharperguy> im thare
[10:37] <Glanzmann> If so, does someone has a line for me?
[10:37] <albert> im not sure I just grabbed the 32bit one from ATI
[10:37] <Sharperguy> but not leaving because  i still use ubuntu never tryed mepis
[10:37] <HymnToLife> !ati
[10:37] <ubotu> I heard ati is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10 or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=423589
[10:38] <albert> does that have to do with the type of processor I am running
[10:38] <HymnToLife> see this ubotu gave albert
[10:38] <Glanzmann> !debootstrap
[10:38] <HymnToLife> to install the drivers the Ubuntu way
[10:38] <zF> Does anyone on Ubuntu use Songbird?
[10:38] <albert> I have Ubuntu vers 5.10
[10:38] <ZeromusMog> Hopefully easy question: where is the password file in ubuntu?
[10:38] <HymnToLife> just see the links ubotu gave
[10:38] <ScottishPig> Hooray for LiveCDs!
[10:39] <birdfish> Stormx2: When I configure the card and try to ping -c 3 www.google.com, I get an error about an unknown host
[10:39] <albert> and I am running it on an AMD athlon 3200+
[10:39] <HymnToLife> birdfish> is your DNS configured correctly ?
[10:39] <HymnToLife> albert> it _should_ work
[10:39] <HymnToLife> for the third time, see this
[10:39] <Stormx2> birdfish: Sure you got all the info right? Gateway, subnet mask, etc?

[10:39] <Jar1go> but i am failing atm
[10:39] <Stormx2> birdfish: Can you ping the router?
[10:39] <ZeromusMog> !password
[10:39] <ubotu> I guess password is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StrongPasswords
[10:39] <birdfish> Stormx2: let me try
[10:40] <CanadianSnow> !pastebin
[10:40] <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 - Install webboard for easy pasting from the gnome taskbar :)
[10:40] <Sharperguy> is the computer your connecting through running zonealarm btw (if its windows) because it sometimes block replies from DNS servers
[10:40] <ZeromusMog> I don't want a strong password I want to get into my password file because I forgot my user/pass D:
[10:40] <squid0> hi
[10:40] <squid0> i have a massive problem :(
[10:40] <HymnToLife> ZeromusMog> try the /etc/password file
[10:40] <HymnToLife> but I don't think the passswords are stored clear in it
[10:41] <ZeromusMog> I just want to reset it
[10:41] <HymnToLife> err
[10:41] <squid0> i recently set up my windows xp box to dual boot with ubuntu
[10:41] <squid0> went great.
[10:41] <HymnToLife> boot from rescue mode
[10:41] <HymnToLife> you can get root ccess and create a new user
[10:41] <squid0> but then i had an issue with wine, where i got an error message about glx.
[10:41] <bhursey> you have 3d acell?
[10:41] <squid0> bhursey: no
[10:41] <nowyost> siemka
[10:42] <squid0> not to my knowledge
[10:42] <HymnToLife> squid0> you might get better answers on ehq :)
[10:42] <bhursey> then glx direct rendering wont work
[10:42] <Sharperguy> glx?
[10:42] <squid0> HymnToLife: thanks, this is just the start :)
[10:42] <HymnToLife> #winehq dammit ><
[10:42] <bhursey> what card do you have?
[10:42] <Sharperguy> ^_^
[10:42] <bhursey> video
[10:42] <squid0> so i googled, saw a solution in a forum thread, and then removed, as per the thread, the nvidia-glx package
[10:42] <squid0> i dunno what card it is
[10:43] <squid0> this made wine work just fine
[10:43] <ToJukk> I'm getting an error saying /dev/mem does not exist when trying to install kubuntu (tried both breezer/dapper cd/dvd). the LiveCD works perfect though. Any suggestions on what to do?
[10:43] <bhursey> did you edit you /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:43] <squid0> however.....
[10:43] <squid0> wait for it, wait for it...
[10:43] <bhursey> and replace nv with nvidia
[10:43] <squid0> bhursey: no
[10:43] <bhursey> do that
[10:43] <Sharperguy> just tell is
[10:43] <Sharperguy> *us
[10:43] <biloyp> nickrud..hmm not sure if the fax was actually sent..
[10:43] <squid0> now i rebooted, and there's no monitori output at all
[10:43] <squid0> the screen is dead
[10:43] <bhursey> do gui ?
[10:43] <CanadianSnow> ok...
[10:43] <squid0> the machine works fine, i can hear sounds for login, etc. but no visual at all
[10:43] <bhursey> you see boot sequence?
[10:44] <nickrud> biloyp: I've had sucess with breezy doing that, I'm in dapper without a modem.
[10:44] <squid0> this makes me very sad
[10:44] <nowyost> jest tu jakis polak
[10:44] <squid0> no, don't see boot sequence, bios, nothin
[10:44] <CanadianSnow> who wants to see what the propble with my update/sudo apt-get thing is?
[10:44] <ZeromusMog> I had the wrong username no wonder, heh
[10:44] <bhursey> if you dont see bios then that means its not =buntu
[10:44] <albert> Any idea as to why my Firefox windows close randomly after about ten mins of browsing
[10:44] <Jar1go> Hey i need help installing a belkin 54g
[10:44] <biloyp> nickrud..I am using breezy..is ther a program that gives me a status of the fax

[10:45] <bhursey> well if you dont see the POST
[10:45] <biloyp> nickrud..ok let me try this setup again
[10:45] <ZeromusMog> Thanks for the help! :D It was in /etc/passwd I just was using some weird bootlevel thing that didn't work -_-;;
[10:45] <bhursey> that is at hardware levil
[10:45] <squid0> oh drat.
[10:45] <squid0> this sucks big time
[10:45] <birdfish> Stormx2: okay, my dad didn't know what he was talking about I guess and had me change my Bcast so that it was conflicting with my gateway address and whatnot.
[10:45] <bhursey> try swaping out vid cards to see if it is the mother board or the vid crad
[10:46] <HymnToLife> CanadianSnow> and what is the problem exactly ?
[10:46] <bhursey> that way you can narrow it down
[10:46] <squid0> bhursey: good idea
[10:46] <CanadianSnow> but, uh, HymnToLife.... i was just on asking about g-parted
[10:46] <bhursey> =)
[10:46] <bhursey> Hey I do tech support for work
[10:46] <lucastiv> ntra
[10:46] <CanadianSnow> check the pastebin for andrew...
[10:46] <birdfish> Stormx2: but now that I have the card setup properly, how do I save the changes so that it doesn't try to assign a dynamic ip the next time I reboot?
[10:46] <squid0> bhursey: i'm sure it's not the motherboard, as boot works etc.
[10:46] <Stormx2> birdfish: So, its fixed? :P
[10:46] <bhursey> ya
[10:46] <squid0> bhursey: lol great
[10:46] <HymnToLife> oh ok lol

[10:50] <levander> trappist: does it install all the same stuff as if you installed the binary deb?  are there differences (other than you've compiled yourself)?

[10:52] <amonkey> !w32codecs
[10:52] <ubotu> well, w32codecs is 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
[10:52] <CanadianSnow> !amsn
[10:52] <ubotu> rumour has it, amsn is at http://amsn.sourceforge.net
[10:52] <Blissex> Ekumba: you need to make sure that the Video4Linux drivers are installed and configured.
[10:52] <AndyR> lo all
[10:53] <bhursey> max200: look at pm
[10:53] <Ekumba> blixxes:how do i do this?
[10:53] <Ekumba> blissex
[10:53] <bhursey> max300: look at pm
[10:53] <Blissex> Ekumba: there are a few V4L HOWTOs around. The BT878 chip is pretty well supported.
[10:53] <Ekumba> i try to search
[10:53] <CanadianSnow> HymnToLife, read the pastebin thing?
[10:54] <CanadianSnow> or anyone else?
[10:54] <ruzgar> i have accidently make(wit ln command) a link shortcut of my ntfs harddisk to the desktop but i cant remove it. i right click it and select remove but it doesnt remove but program gives no erro
[10:54] <max300> i didnt get any pm

[10:54] <CanadianSnow> !gparted
[10:54] <ubotu> CanadianSnow: I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[10:54] <lucastiv> hello again :D I have a weird problem going on with my printing setup, basically gnome-cups-manager packet seems unable to change settings of the Cups spool, mostly regarding to paper size and color mode. Basically i can tell it anything and cups stills prints how it likes (standard 320 dpi and letter paper size) o get the settings going I had to enable the webacces to the cups spool and change settings trough it. My question is: why g
[10:54] <lucastiv> nome app is unable to changemy settings? PS: my printer is a Epson styluscolor 670 and the behaviour of gnome-cups is the same both with the suggested drivers and the gimp ones i prefer to use
[10:55] <lucastiv> sorry it was long...
[10:55] <CanadianSnow> IRC
[10:55] <IRC> hi
[10:56] <levander> trappist: 'man dpkg-buildpackage' says it's a script for creating packages, not compiling from the source code contained within them...
[10:57] <trappist> levander: it creates them.  from source packages.  I sure wouldn't know how to create a package without source code.
[10:57] <max300> Uhm i dint find anything about ubuntu updating on wiki
[10:57] <ruzgar> i have accidently make(with ln command) a link shortcut of my ntfs harddisk to the desktop but i cant remove it. i right click it and select remove but it doesnt remove. also no gives no errr message makes nothing
[10:57] <biloyp> nickrud..guess my problem is finding my fax driver??
[10:58] <levander> trappist: it creates packages though, what i want is to download a source package, and compile it
[10:58] <mikearthur> what CFLAGS are Ubuntu's debs compiled with, on AMD64 Ubuntu?
[10:58] <trappist> levander: that's what dpkg-buildpackage does.
[10:58] <jenda> I need to access a folder on my dad's XP laptop. For some reason, it won't appear in the Windows network (firewall off). Any Ideas?
[10:58] <mustard5> quick question....I have downloaded the Kubuntu iso...I'm just wondering how I would go about installed KDE on my Ubuntu with just the Kubuntu CD..ie not having apt-get look online for packages
[10:58] <jenda> Connected by lan
[11:00] <R3linquish3r> allo
[11:00] <enyc> aoeuidhtns!
[11:00] <jenda> enyc :)
[11:00] <R3linquish3r> whats up?
[11:00] <trappist> levander: let me clarify.  maybe you're used to an rpm system where there are "source packages" called .srpm.  it's not this way on debian systems.  but dpkg-buildpackage + apt-get source is what you're looking for.
[11:01] <biloyp> nickrud, I found my modem under the Device Manager..not sure how let OpenOffice know to use that one
[11:01] <max300> i need to update ubuntu to 5.10 without reinstalling(NOTHING ABOUT IT ON WIKI)
[11:01] <jenda> I need to access a folder on my dad's XP laptop. For some reason, it won't appear in the Windows network (firewall off). LAN connection over router. Any Ideas?
[11:01] <Blissex> Ekumba: this is a bit old but probably a good starting point: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/BTTV.html
[11:01] <R3linquish3r> max300: sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade
[11:02] <nickrud> biloyp: I haven't done it for a while, but what printer did you setup the fax as?
[11:02] <max300> THX
[11:02] <R3linquish3r> np
[11:02] <LjL> !tell max300 about breezy
[11:02] <biloyp> nickrud..I am using a HP..and it does print out (Yahoo) when I print docs
[11:02] <bimberi> jenda: Try connecting to it via Places -> Connect to Server (Windows share)
[11:02] <biloyp> i.e Linux supports it
[11:02] <nickrud> biloyp: plus, you'll need to set up the fax program as well. I'm thinking months back, and it hasn't trickled up yet)
[11:03] <LjL> R3linquish3r: that won't really work
[11:03] <CanadianSnow> HymnToLife, read the pastebin thing?
[11:03] <biloyp> nickrud hmm ok let me poke around
[11:03] <nickrud> biloyp: you need to choose a native postscript printer, apple ones are ok
[11:03] <R3linquish3r> LjL; itll upgrade all the packages.. i thought that was what he was askin for
[11:04] <jenda> bimberi: how exactly... I set Windows Share, right... and then waht?
[11:04] <Mart> hi, i am trying to install nvidia drivers
[11:04] <LjL> R3linquish3r: he asked about upgrading *to* 5.10, which i suppose means he's got Hoary. he'll have to change his sources.list so that they mention breezy instead, and there are a few other complications
[11:04] <enyc> 'ooer
[11:04] <JeReMiE> hello all
[11:04] <Mart> It has asked me to install a million things, which i have done
[11:04] <R3linquish3r> LjL: ok gatcha
[11:04] <Mart> but it says im using a different kernel to the gcc
[11:05] <R3linquish3r> LjL; miss interpreted his words
[11:05] <Mart> so, im trying to install a newer kernel
[11:05] <bimberi> jenda: put the XP box's IP address in 'Server' and the share name in 'Share', others can be blank
[11:05] <enyc> 'mart: just install 'nvidia-glx', and appropriate kernel pkg that includes the restricted-modules
[11:05] <biloyp> nickrud...dayum..I am using a HP..but under the modem setting in efax-gtk... it is looking for a serial device but mine is built into my laptop. I also have a usb modem..but would rather use the built in one
[11:05] <Jar1go> hey, im following this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper#install, but then i type ndiswrapper -l it like hangs... any ideas?
[11:05] <jenda> bimberi: what's a "share name"?
[11:06] <ompaul> LjL, I believe that !upgrade and pointing at 5.10 is the way to go
[11:06] <enyc> Mart: install 'linux-686' 'linux-k7' 'linux-686-smp' etc. as appropriate -- reboot into that kernel...
[11:06] <KuDeTa> heya
[11:06] <Mart> i'll give it a go
[11:06] <nickrud> biloyp: figure out what /dev/* it is, and setup efax-gtk to use that one
[11:06] <KuDeTa> im trying to get a package called acx100-source
[11:06] <enyc> Mart: and install 'nvidia-glx'
[11:06] <KuDeTa> but even though apt -get should have it
[11:06] <Mart> whoa... im a new new new newbie
[11:06] <KuDeTa> it cant find it
[11:06] <LjL> ompaul: i pointed him to !breezy, that should be similar
[11:06] <Mart> will install the glx
[11:06] <KuDeTa> what should i do?
[11:06] <ompaul> LjL, :-)
[11:06] <enyc> Mart: and 'sudo nvidia-glx-config enable' iirc
[11:06] <nickrud> biloyp: but, build in winmodems can sometimes be more trouble than they're worth
[11:06] <biloyp> nickrud...hm I have to find out what my modem equates to as far as ttyS?
[11:07] <biloyp> nickrud..nope not a winmodem..I checked
[11:07] <Tirador> hello. somebody having video problems with xgl?
[11:07] <nickrud> biloyp: it may not even be ttyS* ; mine is /dev/LT something
[11:07] <bimberi> jenda: when you share a folder in Windows you usually give it a name (perhaps this is the issue)
[11:07] <Jar1go> hey, im following this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper#install, but then i type ndiswrapper -l it like hangs... any ideas?
[11:07] <samIarent> hm
[11:07] <Mart> right
[11:07] <enyc> xgl is _experimental_
[11:07] <samIarent> how do you change screen resolution in ubuntu?
[11:07] <ompaul> Tirador, if you are please take it to #ubuntu+1 or #xgl
[11:07] <biloyp> nickrud, ok is yours a built in...laptop?
[11:07] <jenda> bimberi: I'm a Windows noob - I have no clue how to share a directory in Win.
[11:07] <Stormx2> Hey is there any news on NTFS in ubuntu? Like, write support?
[11:07] <Mart> also, is it okey just to keep using the amd64-generic kernel?
[11:07] <Sharperguy> who thinks the version after dapper should be artuculated albatros?
[11:08] <Mart> or will i need the newer ones?
[11:08] <enyc> Tirador: xgl appears to break framerate-locked / vsync-locked things
[11:08] <bimberi> jenda: I don't have access to an XP machine to guide you sorry
[11:08] <nickrud> biloyp: no, a card that came with the machine. I used to have an ISA internal, but this machine has no ISA slots.
[11:08] <jenda> bimberi: OK, thx
[11:08] <Tutankamon> when i type mtr..  i have an external programs
[11:08] <ompaul> jenda, ##windows (and you joke about it existing :-))
[11:09] <CanadianSnow> HymnToLife
[11:09] <Tutankamon> how can i set mtr to be default ? :)
[11:09] <jenda> ompaul: I'm in there :)
[11:09] <Jar1go> hey, im following this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper#install, but then i type ndiswrapper -l it like hangs... any ideas?
[11:09] <enyc> Stormx2: see next Knoppix for some info... go read libntfs project etc.. -- ntfs is a silly proprietary filesystem
[11:09] <CanadianSnow> must have died :(
[11:09] <CanadianSnow> so, anyone...
[11:09] <CanadianSnow> !anyone
[11:09] <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 find out? <hint>
[11:09] <biloyp> nickrud, ahh ok so it is a pci modem. same as mine..only a laptop here
[11:09] <genus> eh, accidently closed the window
[11:09] <CanadianSnow> does anyone here want to help me?
[11:09] <Tutankamon> ubotu look at my question
[11:09] <ubotu> Tutankamon: NO SPEAKE ENLISH! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[11:09] <Tutankamon> :)
[11:09] <nickrud> biloyp: yup. All winmodems are pci modems these days
[11:09] <Tutankamon> what ?
[11:10] <ompaul> CanadianSnow, care to write out a full question
[11:10] <ompaul> !bot
[11:10] <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 except #debian-bots.
[11:10] <bimberi> ubotu tell Tutankamon about yourself
[11:10] <samIarent> ok, one more time...how do you change screen resolution in ubuntu?
[11:10] <nickrud> biloyp: roughly, a winmodem is a modem that doesn't have a standard uart, if I'm not mistaken
[11:10] <ruzgar> i have accidently make(with ln command) a link shortcut of my ntfs harddisk to the desktop but i cant remove it. i right click it and select remove but it doesnt remove. also no gives no errr message makes nothing
[11:10] <enyc> Question... ?Where is the best irc-place for ubuntu-dapper/development discussion?
[11:10] <Tutankamon> anyway..  what about my mtr ?
[11:10] <funkyHat> Anyone else finding gaim randomly crashing on Breezy?
[11:10] <Jar1go> hey, im following this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper#install, but then i type ndiswrapper -l it like hangs... any ideas?
[11:10] <biloyp> nickrud..uart?
[11:10] <Tirador> enyc, but why are not many users complaining about this? Playback really is not smooth at all for me. except mplayer -vo x11 (but then I ve no scaling)
[11:10] <bimberi> samIarent: System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution, if that doesn't work https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[11:11] <nickrud> ruzgar: you could try, from a terminal, sudo rm ~/Desktop/<link>
[11:11] <enyc> ruzgar:  maybe you created a link as root?
[11:11] <samIarent> thank you bimberi
[11:11] <bimberi> samIarent: yw :)
[11:11] <ruzgar> that works thanks
[11:11] <alanon> when i try to run the nvidia installer it says i dont have the source, and when i install the source and unpacks it the installer says i dont have the headers, but adept says the headers is installed, how do i fix this?
[11:11] <enyc> Tirador: Ive seen this myself.. but the users should know its experimental-only ;-)
[11:12] <nickrud> biloyp: I'm getting off into outer space here. Key point, make sure your modem works first (minicom is a good tool)
[11:12] <samIarent> ok, I seem to be stuck at 640x480
[11:12] <enyc> Tirador: go talk to the developers
[11:12] <samIarent> to the wiki
[11:12] <bimberi> alanon: sudo aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[11:12] <ompaul> !tell alanon about nvidia
[11:12] <biloyp> nickrud ok thx..duh your right...get down to basics..ok
[11:12] <CanadianSnow> ompaul im trying to run the partitioner
[11:12] <ompaul> alanon it should all work from that page the bot sent you
[11:12] <enyc> Question... ?Where is the best irc-place//channel for ubuntu-dapper/development packages etc. discussion?
[11:13] <LjL> !tell enyc about dapper
[11:13] <ompaul> CanadianSnow, please don't address me address the channel with a very specific question, if I don't know the answer no one else will chip in
[11:13] <enyc> aaaaaah so thats what #ubuntu+1 is for
[11:13] <enyc> LjL: thanks ;-)
[11:14] <CanadianSnow> I have asked the question before tho
[11:14] <CanadianSnow> does anyone know how I can use g-parted?
[11:15] <Sharperguy> by using it
[11:15] <Jar1go> hey, im following this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper#install, but then i type ndiswrapper -l it like hangs... any ideas?
[11:15] <ompaul> CanadianSnow, what goal do you wish to achieve with it, rather than you open ended question, works better if you are very specifc and I came in after you posted some pastebin thing
[11:15] <Jar1go> !windows
[11:15] <ubotu> from memory, windows is unnecessary - everything runs in linux. Choose your emulator: Cedega, Wine, VMware, Qemu, Xen, CrossOver Office, or find an !alternative
[11:16] <Jar1go> !ntfs
[11:16] <ubotu> from memory, ntfs is the filesystem used in Windows 2000 and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[11:16] <ompaul> !bot
[11:16] <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 except #debian-bots.

[11:16] <eob84> is anyone able to install kdebase-dev for kde 3.5?
[11:17] <LjL> eob84: yes, i've installed kdelibs4-dev often
[11:17] <eob84> how do I fix the broken package error
[11:17] <LjL> eob84: i don't know, i don't have any. do you have the latest 3.5 repository?
[11:19] <LjL> eob84: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-351.php
[11:19] <Sharperguy> Thug-N-Me: whatever we all know that
[11:19] <Thug-N-Me> Sharperguy i wasnt chatting with you anyway :))
[11:19] <Thug-N-Me> Sharperguy i just wanted to tell someone and i typo
[11:19] <eob84> I did that
[11:19] <CanadianSnow> it doesn't matter what i want it for, i know how to use it i just cant get to it
[11:20] <CanadianSnow> but i want to resize some partitions
[11:20] <eob84> my question was if anyone else had a broken package for kdebase-dev
[11:20] <LjL> CanadianSnow: so is your question "how can i start gparted"?
[11:20] <CanadianSnow> yes
[11:20] <ompaul> CanadianSnow, it has to be installed >>sudo apt-get install gparted
[11:20] <ompaul>  <<
[11:20] <LjL> CanadianSnow: type "gparted"
[11:21] <CanadianSnow> ompaul, check the pastebin
[11:21] <LjL> CanadianSnow: you need to give a URL
[11:21] <zF> Hi
[11:21] <CanadianSnow> !pastebin
[11:21] <zF> has anyone used Songbird with Ubuntu?
[11:21] <ubotu> [pastebin]  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 - Install webboard for easy pasting from the gnome taskbar :)
[11:21] <Fracture> Hi
[11:21] <zF> !songbird
[11:21] <ubotu> zF: Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[11:21] <Fracture> is there any way to permit non root users to bind to ports < 1024 (without using sudo) ?
[11:22] <amandapiper> this is crap!!! i just freakin' installed this and nothing is working the samw!!!
[11:22] <LjL> amandapiper: the same as what?
[11:23] <nickrud> Fracture: no, a root process is needed to open one of those ports, but you can hand it off to a non-privileged user. The technique, however is over my head 
[11:23] <LjL> CanadianSnow: a URL to the thing *you* pastebinned
[11:23] <amandapiper> how do i get yahoo messanger back and aim!!!!???
[11:23] <CanadianSnow> its the last one posted
[11:23] <LjL> amandapiper: back from what?
[11:23] <ompaul> CanadianSnow, so it is not a gparted question is it a how do I repair your repositories
[11:23] <CanadianSnow> well, that would be nice to know also
[11:24] <CanadianSnow> but I basically just want to get g-parted, and I was told a while ago I can only use it from the Live CD
[11:24] <Fracture> nickrud: thanks.  not the answer that I was hoping for.  In my mind, there should be a way to configure linux to permit non root users to bind to lower ports.
[11:25] <LjL> CanadianSnow: if you want to resize/modify your boot partition, then yeah.
[11:25] <ompaul> CanadianSnow, plase paste the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list in the pastebin I will fix them then you can go about your business
[11:25] <LjL> CanadianSnow: anyway, you don't have gparted *installed*, so the problem right now is not with gparted, but with the repositories
[11:27] <CanadianSnow> there
[11:27] <ompaul> CanadianSnow, got it
[11:27] <nickrud> Sharperguy: add it to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames
[11:27] <ompaul> CanadianSnow, can I take it you have broadband?
[11:28] <ompaul> CanadianSnow, ? have you broadband?
[11:28] <CanadianSnow> ya
[11:29] <ateves> node
[11:29] <ompaul> CanadianSnow, do you care if you have "non free" software as in not open but closed source?
[11:29] <ScottishPig> Is it wrong that I'm installing wine from a livecd on a windows machine just to run a windows program?
[11:29] <CanadianSnow> ya
[11:29] <pusling> is warty discontinued or when will it be ?
[11:30] <ompaul> CanadianSnow, do you want it or not - I think that is a not
[11:30] <ompaul> pusling, late april
[11:30] <bimberi> pusling: when Dapper releases (iirc)
[11:30] <ruzgar> i want to back up my package list. when i re install the ubuntu i want to install all the packages which i have insatlled before
[11:30] <CanadianSnow> well, what are you talking about
[11:30] <ruzgar> how can i backup and load them after
[11:30] <slew> hi, whats a good mp3 editor for ubuntu?
[11:30] <LjL> ruzgar: dpkg --get-selections >somefile
[11:31] <CanadianSnow> and I have dual boot, and it has 2 ubuntu's in the list...
[11:31] <LjL> ruzgar: and dpkg --set-selections <somefile will load them back
[11:31] <CanadianSnow> how do I get rid of one (and I dont mean safe mode and reg. mode)
[11:31] <ompaul> CanadianSnow, this is software that does not cost money but is available for linux do you want access to it?
[11:31] <eugman> Hey is ther a way to make a middle click close a minimized prgram?
[11:31] <CanadianSnow> sure
[11:31] <michuk> hi all. am i blind or there is no option in "find" command to omit the special files like "./" or "../" in the folders?
[11:31] <ruzgar> LjL thaks a lot
[11:32] <CanadianSnow> is it like another partitioner?
[11:32] <nickrud> slew: I use & love easytag
[11:32] <tuks> slew, i use Audacity
[11:32] <pusling> ompaul / bimberi :  thanks
[11:32] <LjL> michuk: i only see "."
[11:32] <chuckyp> !tell CanadianSnow about grub
[11:32] <LjL> michuk: anyway, you could use find whatever | grep -v "\."
[11:32] <LjL> michuk: no sorry that is completely wrong
[11:32] <slew> nickrud, tuks thanks fellas
[11:32] <LjL> michuk: i meant find whatever | grep -v "^\.$"

[11:33] <nickrud> slew: it's not exactly obvious, but experiment on a a small directory structure. It's extremely powerful
[11:33] <ompaul> CanadianSnow, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9796 there is your new version of that file
[11:33] <foopub> The CUPS server could not be contacted.
[11:33] <slew> nickrud, im checking it out now. =] 
[11:34] <foopub> cupds is listed in ps though
[11:34] <confrey> well, battery applet tell me my laptop is working with battery, it's not true, it's working with ac_adapter, why? what can I do?
[11:34] <V4Vendetta> i have the newest source for gtkpod, how do i install it
[11:34] <ompaul> CanadianSnow, edit it using >> gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list<< from a command line then run >>sudo apt-get udpate; sudo apt-get upgrade <<
[11:35] <dv_> hi
[11:35] <LjL> !tell V4Vendetta about compile
[11:35] <chuckyp> V4Vendetta, un tar it and look for a README file.
[11:35] <bimberi> ubotu tell V4Vendetta about compiling
[11:35] <dv_> a question: anyone knows the nvidia cg language?
[11:35] <nickrud> V4Vendetta: before you try to compile it, do sudo apt-get build-deps gtkpod. It'll save you a lot of pain later
[11:35] <kate19> hi
[11:35] <Sharperguy> anyone know how to get gtk-- working on breezy btw?
[11:36] <Sharperguy> because i want to learn to code in it
[11:36] <heyjoe2> anyone know how to get the system to recognize a usb thumdrive. its a perfectly working drive and linux automatically opens my mp3 player usb drive?
[11:36] <V4Vendetta> pete@Ace:~/Stuff/libgpod-0.3.2$ sudo apt-get build-deps gtkpod
[11:36] <V4Vendetta> E: Invalid operation build-deps
[11:36] <ompaul> CanadianSnow, see the difference between giving us enough information and not doing so is getting advice that is of use - after you do all that you can the >sudo apt-get install gparted<
[11:36] <kate19> does anyone know how to view the contents of the HDD using livedisk?
[11:36] <LjL> V4Vendetta: build-dep
[11:36] <nickrud> arg, sorry V4Vendetta
[11:37] <V4Vendetta> i need to install libgtkpod first,
[11:37] <Sharperguy> ne answrs to my question.?.?
[11:37] <V4Vendetta> i have the configure and all that, how do i install it
[11:37] <chuckyp> V4Vendetta, read the README
[11:37] <LjL> V4Vendetta: install it? "sudo checkinstall". install checkinstall first. and you should read the howto as well
[11:38] <kate19> i like using alien to install RPM packages... it's just convenient for me...
[11:38] <kate19> not a lot of help sorry
[11:38] <biloyp> nickrud, when I use minicom to initialize my modem...shouldn't I get some response back if it is initialized?
[11:38] <ryanakca> when your mail is saved to ~/Mail , What do you set as mailbox type in .muttrc? Maildir? or is ~/mbox and ~/Mail for two different things?
[11:38] <CanadianSnow> it wont let me save
[11:39] <ompaul> CanadianSnow, what won'?
[11:39] <CanadianSnow> g-edit
[11:39] <nickrud> biloyp: when you open mincom on the right device, you will get back some text. Also, typing at<return> should get OK back
[11:39] <LjL> kate19: except for that one time when using alien will mess your system up horrible ;)
[11:39] <kate19> anyone know about viewing the content of a HDD through the Ubuntu livedisk?
[11:39] <CanadianSnow> it wont let me save sources.list
[11:39] <chuckyp> CanadianSnow, make sure you are using sudo
[11:39] <kate19> lol
[11:39] <CanadianSnow> i used the command u put
[11:39] <chuckyp> kate19, yeah  you just mount it.
[11:39] <LjL> kate19: look into the /media directory
[11:39] <CanadianSnow> the "gksudo"
[11:39] <kate19> k
[11:40] <LjL> kate19: (and yeah do mount them if they aren't already)
[11:40] <biloyp> ok thx, I used this prog before (while back) but thought I should get something
[11:40] <LjL> CanadianSnow: try plain "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[11:40] <kate19> theres nothing in the /media directory
[11:40] <heyjoe2> anyone know any reason why ubuntu wouldnt be recognizing a usb thumdrive?
[11:41] <chuckyp> kate19, what type of partition is on the hdd
[11:41] <V4Vendetta> wtf.. i did the make, and sudo make install
[11:41] <kate19> i'm not sure
[11:41] <V4Vendetta> but gtkpod is still the old version
[11:41] <LjL> kate19: no? thought there was. then mount them. you've got to know what your HDs are called. they'll be /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2, /dev/hdb1, etc
[11:41] <kate19> whatever the FC3 default is
[11:41] <chuckyp> !tell heyjoe2 about anyone
[11:41] <dli> kate19, if you are not sure, have a look at /proc/ide
[11:41] <LjL> V4Vendetta: type "echo $PATH". do you have /usr/local/bin there?
[11:41] <CanadianSnow> ya that works LjL
[11:42] <dli> kate19, or read dmesg, by "dmesg|less"
[11:42] <LjL> V4Vendetta: (also, you really should do "sudo checkinstall" rather than "sudo make install")
[11:42] <V4Vendetta> /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
[11:42] <kate19> i went into /dev
[11:42] <kate19> but it doesnt come up with anything i can open
[11:42] <dli> LjL, is checkinstall in ubuntu by default?
[11:42] <LjL> dli: no
[11:42] <LjL> dli: but it's better installed imho
[11:42] <chuckyp> kate19, you have fedora installed on your hardrive right?  And you want to read it from a ubuntu live cd?
[11:43] <LjL> V4Vendetta: was the previous version installed using APT?
[11:43] <CanadianSnow> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[11:43] <CanadianSnow> interesting
[11:43] <V4Vendetta> LjL~ yes
[11:43] <kate19> thats right, chuckyp
[11:43] <V4Vendetta> LjL~ got it working using sudo checkinstall
[11:43] <V4Vendetta> LjL~ thanks mATe!
[11:43] <LjL> V4Vendetta: ok
[11:43] <WorstPhobia> I want to be able to run PHP sites from my local computer. How would I do this?
[11:43] <V4Vendetta> now i can put pictures on my ipod hopefully
[11:43] <LjL> !tell WorstPhobia about lamp
[11:44] <kate19> i need to send some files from it to my desktop because I can't get it to boot from HDD.
[11:44] <chuckyp> kate19, make a folder i.e. mkdir /mnt/temp or whatever you want ot call it.  then try mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/temp
[11:44] <kate19> I think I need to reinstall the OS
[11:44] <foopub> I'm trying to install a network printer, but when I go to System > Administration > Printing, I get an error
[11:44] <foopub> The CUPS server could not be contacted.
[11:44] <ompaul> CanadianSnow, that was in case you needed any updated programs first - now go get your applications - system - gparted will work for you
[11:44] <heyjoe2> could someone help me get ubuntu to recognize a usb thumbdrive?
[11:44] <CanadianSnow> thanks
[11:44] <ompaul> CanadianSnow, assuming you have downloaded it
[11:44] <foopub> Can anyone help me get the network printer working?
[11:44] <dli> foopub, /etc/init.d/cupsysd restart
[11:45] <foopub> dli, command not found
[11:45] <foopub> dli, Mean cupsys?
[11:45] <CanadianSnow> will doing it while being on it affect it at all? :s
[11:45] <dli> foopub, right, sorry, I'm not in ubuntu :(
[11:45] <V4Vendetta> LjL~ question, now when i do sudo gtkpod nothing happens, i have to just do gtkpod, but then i can't copy things to the ipod....................
[11:45] <foopub> dli, Same error
[11:45] <LjL> V4Vendetta: never used gtkpod, sorry
[11:45] <V4Vendetta> LjL~ why wouldn't sudo work with it though..
[11:46] <dli> foopub, have a look, "ls /etc/init.d/cups* "
[11:46] <LjL> V4Vendetta: i don't know. anyway it doesn't smell like something you'd want to run via sudo
[11:46] <dli> foopub, I suppose you already installed cups, "apt-get install cupsys"
[11:46] <foopub> dli, No, I meant same CUPS error
[11:46] <kate19> i cant get it to make a folder
[11:46] <CanadianSnow> will changing my partitions while im on the computer mess anything up?
[11:46] <V4Vendetta> LjL~ if i don't run it via sudo, then it can't read the ipod
[11:46] <foopub> dli, cupsd is shown to be running if I do ps
[11:46] <dli> foopub, /etc/init.d/cupsys stop, and dpkg-reconfigure cupsys
[11:47] <CanadianSnow> !dog
[11:47] <ubotu> CanadianSnow: My cat's name is Mittens! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[11:47] <LjL> V4Vendetta: i've got that, but i don't have a solution. though i could guess that you don't have permissions on /mnt/ipod or whatever applies
[11:47] <kate19> ahh... left the sudo part out...
[11:47] <kate19> my bad
[11:47] <LjL> CanadianSnow: if you change any mounted partitions, yeah
[11:47] <foopub> dli, Should I print unknown jobs as raw jobs?
[11:47] <dli> foopub, maybe no :(
[11:48] <dli> foopub, I accept PS jobs only
[11:48] <jenda> Now I'm really having trouble with this. One XP box connect no prob, I could browse all I wanted from my UBuntu. Now another wont even appear. What is the matter? Any ideas? (LAN connection)
[11:48] <LjL> CanadianSnow: (and "mounted partitions" *does* include the partition you're running ubuntu from)
[11:48] <dli> foopub, some application error might print PS as raw, disastors
[11:48] <nevinm> can anyone give me a hand getting fglrx drivers working?
[11:48] <foopub> dli, OK, I left the services at default and same error
[11:48] <kate19> mount: can't find /dev/hda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[11:49] <LjL> kate19: "sudo mount /dev/hda1 /place/where/you/are/mounting/it"
[11:49] <CanadianSnow> thats y it makes me unmount them first right?
[11:49] <foopub> dli, Serial and SCSI were the only backends not supported
[11:49] <dli> foopub, pastebin your error message, and have a look in /var/log/syslog (or messages)
[11:49] <kate19> ok
[11:49] <foopub> dli, I already pasted it. It's one line.
[11:49] <LjL> CanadianSnow: dunno exactly what it does, since i use qtparted (not that i use it often anyway)
[11:49] <LjL> CanadianSnow: in any case, you cannot mount your boot partition, so if you want to resize that one, you really will have to use a live cd
[11:49] <foopub> dli, System > Administration > Printing = "The CUPS server could not be contacted."
[11:50] <kate19> mkdir: cannot create directory `/hi/there': No such file or directory
[11:50] <CanadianSnow> ok
[11:50] <Tallia1Kubuntu> is there a way to record a movie of the desktop without using vnc2swf?
[11:50] <nickrud> foopub: I've seen that error now and then, the only way I cleared it was a reboot.
[11:50] <LjL> kate19: try "mkdir /home/username/something"
[11:50] <adam_> I have a slow connection -- and I'm trying to update something fairly large in the package manager -- is it possible to somehow "restart" downloads in the package manager if my connection is dropped?
[11:50] <kate19> ok
[11:50] <heyjoe2> can anyone help me with getting linux to recognize usb thumbdrive. any command suggestions?
[11:50] <LjL> kate19: (and then if it works mount it there)
[11:50] <foopub> nickrud, I'm on a laptop. I reboot all the time. :-(
[11:50] <kate19> k
[11:50] <CanadianSnow> but unmounting swapis fine
[11:50] <nickrud> adam_: it will pick up the download right where you left off
[11:51] <CanadianSnow> and aperently my "boot" partition is mounted :s
[11:51] <LjL> adam_: APT is smart
[11:51] <sun_> how do i install lame?
[11:51] <V4Vendetta> can't the newest gtkpod import photo's yet?
[11:51] <dli> adam_, apt should continue from the point
[11:51] <adam_> nickrud, ah, okay -- and if I needed to cancel the download -- and start it up later, it'll still save the old download?
[11:51] <Kurt> why do Democrats hate Jews?
[11:51] <nickrud> adam_: I lived at the bottom of a 3k pipe for a year, and ran debian unstable there. Trust us, apt is *smart*
[11:51] <LjL> adam_: yeah
[11:51] <sun_> how to install lame?  its not showing up on aptitude search lame, only with a "v" for virtual package.
[11:51] <dli> adam_, in apt/archieves, just make sure you don't "apt-get clean"
[11:52] <LjL> adam_: just don't even interrupt APT while it's actually *installing* stuff. interrupting it while downloading is fine
[11:52] <nickrud> sun_: liblame0
[11:52] <ruzgar> can i change the size of right scrool bar
[11:52] <ruzgar> ?
[11:52] <CanadianSnow> Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 6
[11:52] <CanadianSnow> what does this mean?!?!!?
[11:52] <adam_> nickrud, LjL, dli: Ah okay thanks for the answers :)
[11:52] <LjL> Kurt: you again? go away now. ompaul, please
[11:52] <foopub> dli, I don't see anything in syslog that looks relevant
[11:52] <kate19> yep that worked, thanks
[11:52] <Kurt> all I want is an naswer
[11:52] <Tallia1Kubuntu> is there a way to record a movie of the desktop without using vnc2swf?
[11:52] <LjL> sun_: lame is in multiverse, do you have it enabled?
[11:52] <Bean> Is it possible to set my fonts in FF to be like they are in the windows version?
[11:53] <sun_> nickrud liblame0 is not a package!  how to install lame to rip mp3?
[11:53] <dli> nickrud, how long would it take to upgrade firefox with 3KB pipe
[11:53] <ubuntunoob> Hello all
[11:53] <Fracture> Tallia1Kubuntu: chekcout istanbul .. it records the desktop to an ogg video
[11:53] <usr> How can I open .rar archives?
[11:53] <ubuntunoob> anyone have any advice on how to make my system boot linux faster?  It takes a long time while 'configuring network interfaces'
[11:53] <dli> foopub, sorry, I don't know ubuntu tools, but you may try "dpkg-reconfigure cupsys", or even "vim /etc/cups/cupsd.conf"
[11:53] <LjL> usr: apt-get install unrar, or apt-get install rar-nonfree
[11:53] <nickrud> sun_: you need to enable multiverse, read the link below
[11:53] <nickrud> !multiverse
[11:53] <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
[11:53] <pavlovsdog> rar -x
[11:54] <LjL> usr: unrar-nonfree even
[11:54] <CanadianSnow> why cant I resize ntfs?
[11:54] <moonman> could someone give me a hand installing unreal tournament GOTY in linux?
[11:54] <Jar1go> hey, im following this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper#install, but then i type ndiswrapper -l it like hangs... any ideas?
[11:54] <dli> foopub, make sure your firewall is not stopping you
[11:54] <sun_> ljl no i dont have multiverse.  in my sources.list its on the same line as backports, which i dont want, can i have multiverse without backports?
[11:54] <CanadianSnow> and how do I do this from the CD? because its WAY easier
[11:54] <foopub> dli, nickrud, I have to apologize...
[11:54] <LjL> sun_: strange it is on that same line...
[11:54] <nickrud> dli: I don't know, I never sat around and watched. I just had apt run every night, and occasionally I'd be up to date on downloads
[11:54] <foopub> I just figured out that I was doing all this in a terminal that is SSH'd to my home machine :-(
[11:54] <ruzgar> can i change the size of right scrool bar
[11:54] <LjL> sun_: oh, yeah. no, don't uncomment it
[11:55] <LjL> sun_: just add "multiverse" right after your "universe" line
[11:55] <LjL> sun_: (on the same line i mean, at the end)
[11:55] <nickrud> sun_: lines 19 & 20
[11:55] <ubuntunoob> anyone have any advice on how to make my system boot linux faster?  It takes a long time while 'configuring network interfaces'
[11:55] <CanadianSnow> and how do I do this from the CD? because its WAY easier
[11:55] <dli> nickrud, interesting, and what modem did you have? I got frustrated by the modem on a sony vaio
[11:55] <moonman> i need a hand installing ut GOTY in ubuntu
[11:55] <pavlovsdog> use a static ip
[11:55] <nickrud> sun_: be sure to remove the # at the beginning of the line
[11:55] <CanadianSnow> how do I get to the partitioning part of the Live CD??
[11:55] <nickrud> dli: a zoom internal isa
[11:56] <curley_sue> can anyone reccomend a terminal other than gnome-terminal (it gives me trouble on Flux/OpenBox)
[11:56] <chuckyp> heyjoe2, try unplugging it and reinserting it.
[11:56] <LjL> CanadianSnow: don't think you need to, you can run gparted from the live cd
[11:56] <nickrud> dli: in other words, *not* a winmodem of any color
[11:56] <ruzgar> how can i exit from wim
[11:56] <LjL> CanadianSnow: i think it's installed by default
[11:56] <ruzgar> how can i exit from vim
[11:56] <CanadianSnow> thats what I want to do
[11:56] <LjL> ruzgar: :q
[11:56] <curley_sue> ruzgar,  :q
[11:56] <dli> nickrud, I just ordered a actiontec external modem, still not sure whether it's still a winmodem
[11:56] <LjL> that's the only thing i know about vim
[11:56] <CanadianSnow> I want to know how to run gparted FROM the CD
[11:56] <CanadianSnow> I just cant get there...
[11:57] <nickrud> dli: external == not winmodem. Good choice
[11:57] <kate19> hdd1 was only the boot-related stuff from what i can tell. i tried to do the same with hdd2 but it says  i must specify the fiesystem type
[11:57] <CanadianSnow> I put the CD in and it either Boots or just goes to help
[11:57] <kate19> how do i do this?
[11:57] <ruzgar> that doesnt works
[11:57] <pavlovsdog> gparted
[11:57] <sun_> ok thanks everyone, lame is installed!
[11:57] <LjL> CanadianSnow: yeah, just let it boot
[11:57] <alphazero> does anyone know where to get a firefox 1.5.0.1 deb for breezy?
[11:57] <CanadianSnow> but
[11:57] <LjL> !tell alphazero about ff1.56
[11:57] <LjL> !tell alphazero about ff1.5
[11:57] <curley_sue> LjL,  can u reccomend a terminal other than gnome-term?
[11:57] <dli> nickrud, it's serial port and usb port, I thought it's hardware, but then some #hardware people said there were some serial port winmodem too
[11:57] <CanadianSnow> that doesn't work
[11:57] <V4Vendetta> can't the newest gtkpod import photo's yet?
[11:57] <LjL> curley_sue: sure, Konsole :)
[11:57] <CanadianSnow> caz then its just sitting there
[11:57] <dli> curley_sue, try Terminal from xfce
[11:58] <LjL> CanadianSnow: what do you mean?
[11:58] <CanadianSnow> and never does anything about re-sizing the harddrive!!! :(
[11:58] <nickrud> dli: never heard of one: if it hooks up to the serial port, you are safe.
[11:58] <LjL> CanadianSnow: of course, you have to *start* gparted after it's booted
[11:58] <moonman> i need a hand installing UT GOTY on ubuntu
[11:58] <CanadianSnow> but
[11:58] <CanadianSnow> Like when you first install Ubuntu
[11:58] <CanadianSnow> I want to get there! :(
[11:58] <V4Vendetta> what file type does an IPOD use, .jpg ?
[11:58] <CanadianSnow> guh
[11:58] <LjL> CanadianSnow: if i'm right that it's installed by default, it will be under Apps somewhere, like Apps / System / Partition editor or similar... if i'm wrong, then "sudo apt-get install gparted" first
[11:58] <CanadianSnow> i gtg
[11:58] <dli> nickrud, it's 20 dollars canadian, cheap
[11:58] <monolith> hey guys - what pacakge provides qmake?
