[12:00] <Hulug_788> anyone know testdisk?
[12:00] <bradley_> any help would be greatly appreciated
[12:00] <MystaMax> so if i want to tar a directory, it'll be tar -cf "the directory"??
[12:00] <bradley_> i have the terminal prompt if that's any help
[12:00] <voraistos> ompaul:strange i really am getting excited of reinstalling ubuntu.
[12:00] <merriam> MystaMax: do it from the above directory instead.
[12:00] <bbrazil> bradley_: run startx, and look for the first EE line
[12:00] <RandolphCarter> bradley_: great :) do an 'lspci' and paste the results to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[12:00] <MystaMax> oh and then specify the directory
[12:01] <bradley_> bbrazil: thank you... let me try that
[12:01] <bbrazil> bradley_: you'll probably want 2>&1  | less
[12:01] <voraistos> ampaul: maybe because reinstalling ubuntu is not a waste of time, like with windows ?
[12:01] <ompaul> bradley_, do this  >>> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg <<< and choose "VESA" as the video card type you can do other work on it after you get X up and running, when you have that done do this >> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start <<
[12:01] <Hulug_788> please help, i lost my data with kubuntu livecd installer! anyone can help me get the data back?
[12:02] <merriam> bradley_: you will probably be safe from that problem if you stick to stable releases -- until you change your video card.
[12:02] <voraistos> VESA? this guy is really looking bad
[12:02] <merriam> MystaMax: yes
[12:02] <dli> Hulug_788, you erased the whole disk?
[12:02] <ompaul> voraistos, no, if your introuble it is easy to get you back up and running not in a complex way then you can irc browse and other stuff all at the same time
[12:03] <Paul159190> Bradley l am in the same boat as you!
[12:03] <bradley_> ompaul: do i choose autodetect video hardware?
[12:03] <MacinMan> hey guys i just installed ubuntu and  x is in 640x480 i have a sis based motherboard sound works video is bad
[12:03] <ompaul> Paul159190, take that comment I made for bradley_
[12:03] <voraistos> ompaul: yeah, but the thing is if he is obliged to run in VESA mode, he really is in a bad position. lots of work for him.
[12:03] <MystaMax> Merriam: ok, I'm trying to tar a directory inside my /var/www  the directory is located at /var/www/intranet, I'm running the following command from /var/www  "tar -cf intranet intranet.tar"  but I'm getting an error
[12:03] <MacinMan> how can i fix this?
[12:03] <djtansey> does anyone know how to extract only one folder from a tar.bz2 file? i tried with Archive Manager but it seems to choke on such a large directory (my .evolution directory.)
[12:03] <Paul159190> l will try :)
[12:03] <amphi> djtansey: you could try with mc
[12:04] <voraistos> ompaul: however, the first time i used linux, i just installed debian in command mode !
[12:04] <bbrazil> djtansey: tar -xjf blah.tar.bz2 dirname (untested)
[12:04] <Managu> I'm having no luck in #ubuntu+1, so please forgive me for asking here:  I have the Desktop CD, and run through its installer, putting my root partition on /dev/hdb1.  When I reboot (from Primary Master), I get absolutely nothing.  When I reboot from Primary Slave, I get a Grub error 17 in stage 1.5
[12:04] <Hulug_788> dli, one partition... I see the data with testdisk... but when I select WRITE nothing happen...
[12:04] <djtansey> bbrazil: that will only extract the directory 'dirname' from the archive?
[12:04] <ompaul> bradley_, just go for it - assume yes to all questions your not really going for automatic here
[12:04] <merriam> MystaMax: the file must follow the "f".
[12:05] <djtansey> amphi: interesting proposal. haven't used mc for a long time.
[12:05] <bbrazil> djtansey: I think so, I've never actually done it
[12:05] <voraistos> ompaul: i didnt have any other computer, and was obliged to browse the internet with some strange 4 colors client. i even had a MSN client in text mode !
[12:05] <Flannel> Managu: booting from your primary does nothing, that'snormal, since you installed to hdb.  The grub error is what you need to troubleshoot.
[12:05] <djtansey> bbrazil: I will attempt it. thanks.
[12:05] <merriam> MystaMax: "f" means "to this file:".
[12:05] <bbrazil> djtansey: let me know if it works
[12:05] <Managu> Flannel: fair enough.  Any thoughts?
[12:05] <Hulug_788> dli: do you can help me?
[12:05] <djtansey> a general question: has anyone been having their system freeze when using nm-applet/network-manager?
[12:06] <MystaMax> merriam: thanks, i tried your suggestion and received the following tar: intranet.tar: cannot open: permission denied
[12:06] <Flannel> Managu: erm, well, it's a common problem.  Try googling, since that's what I'd do to be able to help you ;)
[12:06] <Managu> Flannel: mmkay
[12:06] <Senilix> djtansey: yes
[12:06] <MacinMan> so does anyone have any ideas about my video? i've run other linux distros and have  not had this issue
[12:06] <voraistos> Mystamax: did u try with sudo ?
[12:07] <jtd> so if I have postfix and mailx only installed, without courier or dovecot or anything like that, should I be able to send and receive mail?
[12:07] <merriam> MystaMax: you need to be root, and you need to check that you're not overwriting something important.
[12:07] <MystaMax> yep, its a permission issue, thanks voraistos i figured it out
[12:07] <bbrazil> jtd: yes
[12:07] <Flannel> Managu: what partition type is it? since, thats what 17 is, unable to mount selected partition.
[12:07] <MystaMax> merriam: thanks I'm not the admin of this particular box
[12:07] <bbrazil> jtd: courier and dovecot are for imap and pop
[12:07] <MystaMax> I'll have to wait till monday
[12:07] <Hulug_788> dli: ?
[12:07] <MystaMax> Merriam: u've been a great help!
[12:07] <jtd> bbrazil: can I tail my mail.info for you, put it in the pastebin, and maybe you can help me figure out why I can't send mail?
[12:07] <merriam> MystaMax: then specify another place for the file.
[12:07] <djtansey> Senilix: any word on a fix?
[12:07] <amphi> MacinMan: google might be your best bet
[12:08] <Managu> Flannel: xfs partition
[12:08] <bbrazil> jtd: sure, how are you trying to send it?
[12:08] <MystaMax> merriam: how do i do that?
[12:08] <Paul159190> guys, l am at the x server driver for graphics and l'm trying to find this 'vesa' driver its not on the list, is there another name 4 it?
[12:08] <dli> Hulug_788, explain again?
[12:08] <jtd> bbrazil: just with mailx.  I'll take care of dovecot after that :)
[12:08] <MacinMan> i can try that
[12:08] <bbrazil> jtd: I'd also like your main.cf
[12:08] <MystaMax> what flags do i send?
[12:08] <firebird619> Is there a command or something to use to reset all audio settings, GnomeRadio did something to really make the sound for anything to do with my TV Tuner sound terrible and full of static.
[12:08] <jtd> bbrazil: /etc/postfix/mail.cf?
[12:08] <bbrazil> jtd: yip
[12:08] <biovore> Paul159190: vesa is the name of the driver (in /etc/X11/xorg.conf)
[12:08] <jtd> awesome.
[12:08] <Flannel> Managu: erm, dapper has xfs support?
[12:08] <jtd> gimme one minute.
[12:09] <Hulug_788> dli: I can show my files with testdisk but dont write it back!
[12:09] <amphi> Flannel: should do
[12:09] <Hulug_788> dli: when I select WRITE and do a reboot nothing happens!
[12:09] <Hulug_788> dli: I think i do something wrong but dont know what...
[12:09] <merriam> MystaMax: I would do it like this, but use tab completion to make sure you're not overwriting a file you want:  cd /var/www; tar c intranet > ~/intranet.tar
[12:09] <jtd> !pastebin
[12:09] <ubotu> pastebin is, like, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, a site for pasting long texts so you don't disrupt the channel - or install webboard in Gnome: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269
[12:09] <Paul159190> Oh, is there not a name for it, l have a choice of 'ati, chips, fbdev, glint, imstt, mga, nv, riva128, s3, s3virge, savage, sis, tdfx, trident and vga'
[12:10] <bbrazil> Paul159190: vga is virtually gaurenteed to wprk
[12:10] <biovore> Paul159190: fbdev is probably it
[12:10] <bradley__> IT WORKED!!! Thank you!!
[12:10] <Flannel> Managu: apparently its a problem with grub and xfs support, at least, thats what I've found.  Either make /boot something else, or use lilo.
[12:10] <ompaul> Paul159190, try the end of the pile ....
[12:10] <bradley__> you guys are awesome!
[12:10] <Paul159190> lol
[12:10] <Flannel> Managu: you might check launchpad for a workaround.
[12:10] <Managu> Flannel: aye; I selected it from the partition types in the installer.  The thing that's throwing me for a loop is that the stuff I installed has no /boot/grub directory
[12:10] <amphi> Flannel: grub works fine with xfs here, FWIW
[12:10] <bradley__> ompaul: thanks to you for your help!
[12:10] <ompaul> Paul159190, the very very last one there is one more
[12:10] <Paul159190> Well l've tried, vga, mga, nv, fbdev
[12:10] <Paul159190> nope no more
[12:10] <bradley__> talk to you guys later
[12:11] <Flannel> amphi: then see if you can't help Managu ;)
[12:11] <AlmtyBob> ok, I have ubuntu installed on two drives, one was a bad install, even if I tell my bios to boot to the good drive, my bad install loads, how can I fix that?
[12:11] <biovore> Paul159190: this is tring to setup X?
[12:11] <Paul159190> yes
[12:11] <beligum> Hi all, I have the weirdest problem: after upgrading from breezy to dapper, my fscanf() c-code doesn't work anymore !!
[12:11] <ompaul> Paul159190, that is strange, what is the card you have?
[12:11] <biovore> Paul159190: what graphics card you have?
[12:11] <Hulug_788> dli: any idea?
[12:11] <Paul159190> lol, well you see here comes the problem. Its a very old 180mhz apple performa, l'm just playin around really, it doesn't have a manufacturer of type :S, so lm after a generic driver
[12:11] <bbrazil> biovore: hmm, have you tried recompiling the code?
[12:12] <Paul159190> l know that in its normally OS it can do 800x600 and 1024 @ 1000's of colours
[12:12] <bbrazil> beligum: hmm, have you tried recompiling the code?
[12:12] <bbrazil> biovore: sorry, bad tab completion
[12:12] <jtd> bbrazil: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13518 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13519 <-- mail.info and main.cf
[12:12] <voraistos> Paul159190: is it a mac ?
[12:12] <Paul159190> yes
[12:12] <beligum> bbrazil: yes
[12:12] <Hulug_788> dli: ?
[12:12] <iamcitizen> has anyone dual booted OSx86 and ubuntu?
[12:13] <bbrazil> jtd: ah, yahoo's mail servers have issues
[12:13] <AlmtyBob> can I somehow use the install CD to just wipe a drive?
[12:13] <voraistos> is there any mac guy around ?
[12:13] <Hulug_788> Hello? Nobody has experience with testdisk???
[12:13] <iamcitizen> i'm a mac guy
[12:13] <AlmtyBob> like is there something I can type at the "boot" prompt to get a command line so I wipe the drive?
[12:13] <bbrazil> jtd: try sending to bbrazil@netsoc.tcd.ie
[12:14] <Paul159190> well l'm gonna try any old driver, if it works it works if it don't l'll try ompauls command he stated before if that dont work restart and chose another driver! :)
[12:14] <voraistos> iamcitizen: looks like paul has got a mac graphic card and cannot set it up. do u know what it could be ?
[12:14] <|Sivik|> whats a good c compiler for this os?
[12:14] <beligum> bbrazil: here's what I get after scanning with fscanf("%f %f %f", &x, &y, &z)
[12:14] <bbrazil> |Sivik|: gcc
[12:14] <iamcitizen> what kind of graphic card
[12:14] <Hulug_788> Please help me :(
[12:14] <voraistos> iamcitizen: Paul159190 l know that in its normally OS it can do 800x600 and 1024 @ 1000's of colours
[12:14] <|Sivik|> i just installed gcc but i'm still getting "checking for C compiler default output file name ... confiure; error: C compiler cannot create executables
[12:15] <Paul159190> Its one of those old performa computers, graphics card unknown quite frankly, possibly motorola seeing as they made these processors
[12:15] <|Sivik|> what does that mean
[12:15] <beligum> bbrazil: the text in the file is: -10.0 100.0 0.0 and the ouput of the three variables is: -10.0 0.0 -0.000030
[12:15] <djtansey> Senilix: i just filed a launchpad bug for network-manager. number 43282. if you want to comment on it I think it would help make it clear that it is a real issue.
[12:15] <iamcitizen> you in Mac right now?
[12:15] <jtd> bbrazil: you're at TCD?  :)  I went to UCD for a semester.  we might have to fight now ;)
[12:15] <iamcitizen> or ubuntu
[12:15] <Paul159190> l am on my powerbook now and have the performa next 2 me
[12:15] <bbrazil> jtd: no point. i'd just win ;)
[12:15] <iamcitizen> oh
[12:15] <jtd> heh :D
[12:15] <|Sivik|> bbrazil: do you know what that error means?
[12:16] <iamcitizen> well, i'd say just google the model #
[12:16] <bbrazil> |Sivik|: you're cross compiling, have noexec set or selinux
[12:16] <iamcitizen> and see if there are any binary drivers
[12:16] <Hulug_788> :(
[12:16] <jtd> bbrazil: sent
[12:16] <iamcitizen> whats wrong hul
[12:16] <|Sivik|> bbrazil: well, i'm trying to instal wine but it doesn't seem to be working
[12:16] <djtansey> bbrazil: i'm curious to know the process the specific extraction takes. It sure is slow. I might just extract it all again and manually move the folder i want.
[12:16] <Paul159190> well so far l have tried about 4 drivers out of the 15 now trying ATI, just going to go thrugh em 1 by 1
[12:16] <dli> Hulug_788, sorry, I still couldn't understand why you are saying
[12:17] <Hulug_788> iamcritizen: i lost my data and nobody want help..
[12:17] <bbrazil> djtansey: that'll be bzip. It involves sorting data in 100-900k blocks
[12:17] <iamcitizen> haha paul
[12:17] <iamcitizen> well, that is what i'd ahve done
[12:17] <odat> ubuntu is great but xubuntu is friggin lighting
[12:17] <odat> wow
[12:17] <iamcitizen> no better solution, really
[12:17] <Hulug_788> dli: what do you dont unterstand?
[12:17] <Paul159190> which driver did you use iamcitizen?
[12:17] <dli> Hulug_788, what WRITE?
[12:17] <maher> where is the contents for the ubuntu live cd?
[12:17] <iamcitizen> Paul, what is the model #
[12:17] <Hulug_788> WRITE is an option in testdisk
[12:18] <Paul159190> Performa 5400/180
[12:18] <iamcitizen> i'll do some research
[12:18] <dli> Hulug_788, what testdisk?
[12:18] <Hulug_788> dli: data recovery tool...
[12:18] <djtansey> bbrazil: interesting. are there better ways to do compressed backups? (since i've had trouble just syncing the .evolution folder)
[12:18] <bbrazil> djtansey: rsync and cp -l are nice
[12:18] <BSA> hi all
[12:18] <bbrazil> djtansey: although that's low bandwidth rather than low disk space
[12:18] <Paul159190> lol ATI driver just failed :)
[12:19] <dli> Hulug_788, you want to recover partition?
[12:19] <iamcitizen> haha
[12:19] <amphi> djtansey: cp -a too ;)
[12:19] <maher> is netcat on the ubuntu live cd?
[12:19] <iamcitizen> 1 MB is maximum VRAM
[12:19] <Hulug_788> dli: yes..
[12:19] <djtansey> bbrazil: yeah. tried rsync -- borked on some of the weird filenames
[12:19] <iamcitizen> i don't think it will work, Paul
[12:19] <serp> how do I unrar in ubuntu
[12:19] <serp> ?
[12:19] <iamcitizen> that card has only 1 MB max VRAM
[12:19] <BSA> can anyone tell me if its possible to have linux and windows download them same bittorrent too a fat32 partition?
[12:19] <|Sivik|> serp: read the man for tar and i think you can do it through there
[12:19] <BSA> not at the same time
[12:19] <djtansey> amphi: i might try that. it preserves the ownership/etc.
[12:19] <bbrazil> amphi: cp -l makes hard links. Hacky way to do incremental backups
[12:20] <amphi> djtansey: yeah
[12:20] <serp> |Sivik|: it doesn't mention rar
[12:20] <amphi> bbrazil: ah ;)
[12:20] <dli> Hulug_788, so, you choose recovering partition table, and finished that step
[12:20] <Paul159190> ok l'm trying ompauls command
[12:20] <iamcitizen> k
[12:20] <bbrazil> jtd: is that gone from your mailq yet?
[12:20] <dli> Hulug_788, do you see the partitions in "fdisk -l" after that?
[12:20] <AlmtyBob> anyone got an URL for setting up GRUB?
[12:20] <sorcre> Hello, is it difficult to install ndiswrapper on Ubuntu?
[12:20] <Paul159190> ok i tried auto detect, it said it cudnt find any :(
[12:20] <jtd> bbrazil: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13520 I feel like postfix is maybe formatting the SMTP messages incorrectly and that's why it's timing out?  I'm sure that's ridiculous
[12:20] <jtd> bbrazil: how do I check?
[12:21] <iamcitizen> yeah, prob. wont work Paul
[12:21] <iamcitizen> get a crappy card of ebay or something
[12:21] <bbrazil> jtd: that's before it even does SMTP, we've gopt ourselves a network problem
[12:21] <Hulug_788> dli: I choosed the partition and select WRITE
[12:21] <bbrazil> jtd: telnet -4 spoon.netsoc.tcd.ie 25
[12:21] <jtd> bbrazil: okay.
[12:22] <ompaul> Paul159190, is it PPC or 68k
[12:22] <jtd> bbrazil: ... sure enough, it's timing out.
[12:22] <bbrazil> jtd: okay, try pinging that ip
[12:22] <Pr0hibited> can anyone tell me if this would  work? -> iptables -A INPUT -s aol.com -j DROP
[12:22] <Hulug_788> dli: yes I see with fdisk, but there are not the old data
[12:23] <jtd> bbrazil: 64 bytes from 134.226.83.42: icmp_seq=4 ttl=47 time=112 ms
[12:23] <jtd> crap.  is my ISP blocking port 25 outgoing?
[12:23] <Hulug_788> dli: I want the data that I see with P in testdisk (list Files)
[12:23] <iamcitizen> no, jtd
[12:23] <luke> anyone know how I can install win32 codecs on an amd64 machine?
[12:23] <biovore> Pr0hibited: you would have better looking up AOL's netblock and just blocking that..
[12:23] <iamcitizen> well, unless they are insabe
[12:23] <dli> Hulug_788, can you mount the partition?
[12:23] <bbrazil> jtd: possibly, try port 80 on that server
[12:23] <jtd> well, think about it, iamcitizen
[12:23] <iamcitizen> only things blocked are 6881-6889, usually
[12:24] <jtd> why would I need port 25 as Joe User?
[12:24] <Hulug_788> dli: yes
[12:24] <biovore> luke: win32 codecs are for 64bit only :-(
[12:24] <iamcitizen> email
[12:24] <serp> how come I can't apt-get packages from multiverse even when I uncomment it in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[12:24] <Hulug_788> dli: the partition exist but not with the data that I see with P
[12:24] <luke> biovore, you mean 32bit only?
[12:24] <biovore> luke: rgr
[12:24] <bbrazil> luke: you could create a 32bit chroot, and run whatever from there
[12:24] <jtd> bbrazil: port 80 works perfectly.
[12:25] <Paul159190> sorry it is PPC
[12:25] <biovore> luke: but there working on a 64bit version of it.. but it won't be out any time soon.
[12:25] <dli> Hulug_788, can you mount it?
[12:25] <bbrazil> jtd: It's probably your isp then. You might want to try tcptraceroute
[12:25] <luke> damn =/ im still regretting installing this as 64bit
[12:25] <iamcitizen> i cant imagine they are blocking SMTP though
[12:25] <Hulug_788> dli: yes that work
[12:25] <Paul159190> ompaul it is PPC, the command failed, l'm restarting to try a different driver
[12:25] <luke> biovore, alright, ill wait then I guess

[12:25] <quidam> hello
[12:25] <bbrazil> Pr0hibited: what exactly is the problem
[12:25] <biovore> luke: the only thing you really need win32 codecs for is wmv and quicktime

[12:25] <jtd> dunno how to use tcptraceroute, gimme a sec

[12:26] <Pr0hibited> Yes bbrazil
[12:26] <ompaul> Pr0hibited, don't do the language thing, thanks
[12:27] <Pr0hibited> Okay paul, sorry.
[12:27] <bbrazil> Pr0hibited: okay, what you want is mod_rewrite (assuming apache)
[12:27] <jtd> bbrazil: it looks like it stops at TCD's firewall
[12:27] <jtd> I'll pastebin that too
[12:27] <biovore> Pr0hibited: you can try iptables -A INPUT -s *.aol.com -j DROP  (my not work all the time though)
[12:27] <bbrazil> jtd: that's not good
[12:27] <Pr0hibited> Nooooo, I need to ban him from apache AND DigiChat
[12:27] <bbrazil> jtd: what abotu 134.226.83.50?
[12:27] <Pr0hibited> There's a program he can use to connect to my chat and mess with it
[12:27] <luke> hehe merriam, ty
[12:28] <bbrazil> biovore: that won't work. iptables works by ip addresses
[12:28] <jtd> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13521
[12:28] <Hulug_788> dli: any idea how I can copy the old data to the partition?
[12:28] <biovore> bbrazil: yeah.. probably have to get there net blocks and block that
[12:28] <lsuactiafner> i have the dapper iso, i want to dist-upgrade, how do i add the iso into apt so i dont have to download the whole thing from the internet again?
[12:28] <jtd> dude
[12:28] <jtd> 25 is blocked at my dsl modem!
[12:28] <jtd> I didn't realize you could add a port to tcptraceroute
[12:29] <Pr0hibited> Biovore, I got: "iptables v1.3.1: host/network `*.aol.com' not found"
[12:29] <bbrazil> jtd: I should mention that tcptrceroute breaks somewhat when it hits tcd's firewall
[12:29] <biovore> Pr0hibited: yeah.. you will probably have to figure out what netblocks AOL owns..  you can look it up.. its public info
[12:29] <daryl> What is the command to install fakeroot?
[12:30] <lutra> sudo apt-get install fakeroot :)
[12:30] <Seveas> sudo apt-get install fakeroot
[12:30] <Pr0hibited> Biovore, where can I get that info?
[12:30] <daryl> thanks.  oh is it rfakeroot?
[12:30] <BSA> whats up with sudo anyway i dont see the point
[12:30] <biovore> Pr0hibited: iptables -A input -s 172.0.0.0/8 -j DROP

[12:31] <Seveas> !info apt-setup
[12:31] <Pr0hibited> iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
[12:31] <daryl> RandolphCarter: what was that command you told me to do for fakeroot?  "fakeroot: command not found"
[12:31] <jtd> bbrazil: when I add port 25 to it it stops right at my dsl modem
[12:31] <amphi> iamcitizen: 1280x960 shurely
[12:31] <Seveas> heh, ok, ubuntu has it, but only in d-i
[12:32] <iamcitizen> amphi, how?
[12:32] <bbrazil> jtd: have fun hacking your modem
[12:32] <ph8> does anyone know where i'd go to give feedback to say, the editors of gedit?

[12:32] <wendigo> daryl: dpkg -L fakeroot | grep bin
[12:32] <Seveas> ph8, check /usr/share/doc/gedit for copyright/author info

[12:34] <AlmtyBob> dunno if my isp blocks 443
[12:34] <AlmtyBob> but I wouldn't doubt it
[12:35] <amphi> iamcitizen: have a look at linux-laptop.net and/or tuxmobil.org for your laptop, perhaps
[12:35] <lutra> Seveas: cool...i thought about packaging for debian for some time
[12:35] <iamcitizen> k
[12:35] <iamcitizen> brb
[12:35] <wendigo> Calikke: chedck the crossover office website for supported app details
[12:35] <AlmtyBob> how can I setup X so I can stick my machine in a closet without a monitor/kb/mouse, boot it, and vnc in?
[12:35] <Paul159190> lutra, its a generic card unknown manufacturer
[12:35] <lutra> Paul159190: tried vesa?
[12:36] <Paul159190> vesa isn't on my list available :S :S
[12:36] <CaLikKe> wendigo will do it, thanks..
[12:36] <lutra> really?
[12:36] <merriam> iamcitizen: I had to fix that a while ago on a travelmate.  I needed 855resolution.  http://technophobe.net/Acer_TravelMate_2304WLMi_notes_Linux.html#video
[12:36] <Paul159190>  l have a choice of 'ati, chips, fbdev, glint, imstt, mga, nv, riva128, s3, s3virge, savage, sis, tdfx, trident and vga'
[12:36] <lutra> Paul159190: oh...not x86?
[12:36] <Paul159190> This is PPC
[12:36] <lutra> ah
[12:36] <amphi> Paul159190: you tried 'sis'? you said it was a sis card IIRC
[12:36] <LolaX> hello, i am having trouble with apt-get/synaptic it is telling me that is cannot stat the repositories can anyone help?
[12:37] <Paul159190> I have tried, ati, chips, fbdev, mga, nv, vga - so far none of them have worked
[12:37] <lutra> LolaX: have you messed around with sources.list?
[12:37] <Paul159190> l will try sis next amphi , but l never said it was a sis card :S :S
[12:37] <merriam> iamcitizen: this sort of thing really should be handled automatically by ubuntu, but there's a lot of other funny hardware out there...
[12:37] <amphi> Paul159190: ok; what does lspci say it is?
[12:37] <LolaX> no i havnt done anything since i last booted it was working last time
[12:37] <Paul159190> apple :) lol
[12:38] <lutra> LolaX:  wait a few minutes and retry...might just be your mirrors are down or something
[12:38] <LolaX> ok thank you
[12:38] <Paul159190> Because an apple computer doesn't use a PCI graphics card, its part of the chipset you see.. so it won't be shown anyway
[12:38] <lutra> LolaX: otherwise you could paste (at pastebin.com) your /etc/apt/sources.list file and let me take a look
[12:38] <amphi> Paul159190: ah... I thought macs were pci nowadays, or is this an ancient one?
[12:39] <wendigo> paul159190: lspci | grep VGA
[12:39] <LolaX> lutra: i just paste it into this webpage and put my name on it?
[12:39] <AlmtyBob> when I use some sourceforge VNC viewer to connect to my box through XP, it works fine, but when I use RealVNC viewer, the request goes through to my linux box, but RealVNC then says "connection unexpectedly closed" without showing me anything.  Anyone know what that problem is?
[12:39] <Paul159190> Definetely acient!!
[12:39] <lutra> LolaX: no need for your name

[12:44] <lutra> LolaX: like this http://pastebin.com/702648  and you could also uncomment the backports if you want newer packages

[12:46] <Kym>  sorry .. wrong key combo
[12:46] <lutra> LolaX: two ways either through synaptic or via command line
[12:46] <Kym> i blame it on the beer
[12:46] <lutra> LolaX: just add the 'multiverse' on the end of the lines
[12:46] <MrKeuner> is it for sure that new ubuntu will be out on June 1st or is another delay is still possible?
[12:47] <lutra> LolaX: alternatively you could copy/paste the sources.list file i made from pastebin
[12:47] <lutra> MrKeuner: looks like it should be a go by then
[12:47] <lutra> MrKeuner: i'm on dapper and it's pretty stable and looks pretty sharp
[12:47] <AlinuxSOS> bbrazil, :( nothing similar found.. no proxy entry.
[12:48] <lutra> Kym: stupid question but is the cd ejected maybe?
[12:48] <lutra> Kym: and did the installation go through without a hook?
[12:48] <bbrazil> AlinuxSOS: env | grep -i http
[12:49] <bbrazil> AlinuxSOS: any sign of proxy type stuff there?
[12:49] <MrKeuner> lutra/ beta2 is out right? is it the latest
[12:49] <AlinuxSOS> bbrazil,
[12:49] <AlinuxSOS> http_proxy=http://localhost:4001
[12:49] <AlinuxSOS> HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:4001
[12:49] <AlinuxSOS> that's my output.
[12:49] <lutra> MrKeuner: the latest release yes
[12:50] <lutra> MrKeuner: but we can't talk about dapper here...we can in ubuntu+1 though
[12:50] <bbrazil> AlinuxSOS: do you have any idea where does are being set from? /etc/enviroment  or .bash_profile maybe?

[12:51] <kbrooks> Here is a easy question for everyone here.
[12:52] <AlinuxSOS> bbrazil, howto fix it? I don't understand your last message :)
[12:52] <bbrazil> trnc: you might also be interested in apt-zip (assuming it's still around)
[12:52] <lutra> kbrooks: ok
[12:52] <bbrazil> AlinuxSOS: did you try the quick fix?
[12:52] <AlinuxSOS> bbrazil, quick fix ?
[12:52] <AlinuxSOS> no idea :)
[12:52] <AlinuxSOS> how
[12:52] <paniq> dccprobe doesnt exist on my box, the vrate is fucked
[12:52] <paniq> what to do?
[12:53] <bbrazil> AlinuxSOS: 23:50 < bbrazil> AlinuxSOS: simple fix is to do http_proxy= HTTP_PROXY= sudo ...
[12:53] <r0xoR> synaptic won't let me install build-essential because it says: http://pastebin.com/702668
[12:53] <r0xoR> any ideas?
[12:53] <kbrooks> Would customizability of EasyUbuntu 3 be useful to anyone here?
[12:53] <AlinuxSOS> so I must type " http_proxy= HTTP_PROXY" ?
[12:53] <r0xoR> i used easyubuntu to install msttcorefonts... but i didn't use it to enable multiverse repos and now multiverse is enabled
[12:53] <AlinuxSOS> bbrazil, sorry I'm little bit confused
[12:53] <bbrazil> AlinuxSOS: yes, type that before your commands
[12:54] <r0xoR> kbrooks, heheh... an easyubuntu that didn't fubar up my repos so that i can't install build-essential would be nice :)
[12:54] <kbrooks> r0xoR: no, it isn't. the sources.list EasyUbuntu uses is self contained
[12:54] <AlinuxSOS> bbrazil, woow now it works :)
[12:54] <AlinuxSOS> now I can sudo apt-get update :D
[12:54] <bbrazil> AlinuxSOS: right, you'll want to figure out where those are being set
[12:54] <r0xoR> kbrooks, hmm, then why did synaptic all of a sudden end up with multiverse repos enabled after all i did was use easyubuntu to install msttcorefonts?
[12:54] <AlinuxSOS> and howto fix it for future logins ?
[12:55] <kbrooks> r0xoR: Please file a bug concerning this on Launchpad, and we will get straight to it
[12:55] <r0xoR> kbrooks, ok
[12:55] <r0xoR> meanwhile, is there any way to get back to the default sources.list that came with ubuntu?
[12:55] <kbrooks> r0xoR: ... yes

[01:03] <sorcre> Yea, it's an old Compaq presario 1600. I've installed Ubuntu on 4 other machines without any problems.
[01:03] <zcat[1] > but I'm an OSS zealot. I don't even want to use WMM in Wine if I can find a free alternative.
[01:04] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : why doesnt kino "cut it"?
[01:04] <sorcre> Flack: I think I found the problem. CD integrity check failed.
[01:04] <zcat[1] > kino won't open my camera's mjpeg files and I have spent hours trying to get mencoder to convert them to a format kino will open.
[01:04] <Flack> sorcre: Ah, that would do it :-... atleast its something simple.
[01:04] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : uh. ok. thinking.
[01:05] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : HEY!!!!!!
[01:05] <sorcre> Flack: Yea, I should have probably ran that test earlier >.<
[01:05] <serp> I have 2 monitors. The right one is the primary one. Ubuntu's login screen comes on that and the start menu is on there. However, when I do things in full screen (from a mediaplayer or a game) it pops up on the left screen. How do I fix this?
[01:05] <Flack> sorcre: Meh, I never did :-P
[01:05] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : "MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 require mjpegtools or ffmpeg. MPEG-4 requires ffmpeg."
[01:05] <holden> I have Ubuntu Dapper (amd64 version) on a Sempron 3300+ processor. I'm using linux-amd64 generic. Does anyone think I could use linux-amd64-k8?
[01:05] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : that could be the ticket
[01:06] <SAM_theman> wait my sound is choppy
[01:06] <sorcre> Flack: Well, I meant earlier as in before I tried to install it again.... gor the 5th time :P
[01:06] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/
[01:06] <lsuactiafner> i upgraded the x11 and now my bluetooth mouse aint responding anymoere
[01:06] <Flack> sorcre: ahahah
[01:06] <zcat[1] > mjpegtools is already the newest version.
[01:06] <zcat[1] > ffmpeg is already the newest version.
[01:06] <pvd2006> How can you resize a linux partition so its bigger wtihout messing it up? I have it set at like 10gigs but I want to set it to 60gigs.
[01:06] <zcat[1] > I have both. still won't work.
[01:07] <sorcre> Flack: Well thanks :D
[01:07] <osotogari> Hi, anyone know can i force ubuntu to eject my CD-ROM drive?
[01:07] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : binary distro?
[01:07] <dmbt> sudo eject
[01:07] <Promit> anyone worked with ViewVC?
[01:07] <zcat[1] > uh?
[01:07] <dmbt> osotogari: terminal, sudo eject
[01:07] <pvd2006> osotogari eject or unmount /cdrom...
[01:07] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : are you on a binary distribution?
[01:07] <Promit> i've set ViewVC up with Highlight, but I can't figure out how to change the style that Highlght uses when invoked from ViewVC
[01:07] <zcat[1] > i386
[01:08] <zcat[1] > I'm using i386 dapper beta2
[01:08] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : um
[01:08] <osotogari> Tried that guys but it says the device is busy, any ideas?
[01:08] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : hmmm.
[01:08] <mythica> xhost:  unable to open display ""
[01:09] <mythica> Can someone offer some advice ?

[01:10] <Teleios> what do the gurus recommend for music players?
[01:10] <apokryphos> !players
[01:10] <ubotu> I heard players is Audio/MP3 Players: amaroK, Banshee, Beep-media-player, JuK, Rhythmbox, XMMS ; Video players: Totem, Xine, Mplayer, VLC
[01:10] <lutra> Teleios: banshee!!!
[01:10] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : i give up.
[01:10] <Stormx2> Audacious isn't in there.
[01:11] <lutra> Teleios: or Listen
[01:11] <deefzi> could someone give a hand for a few quick tips for vmware workstation 5
[01:11] <lutra> definitely not Amarok :)
[01:11] <Teleios> hm
[01:11] <Stormx2> ubotu, players is Audio/MP3 Players: amaroK, Audacious, Banshee, Beep-media-player, JuK, Rhythmbox, XMMS ; Video players: Totem, Xine, Mplayer, VLC
[01:11] <ubotu> ...but players is already something else...
[01:11] <Stormx2> So?
[01:11] <Teleios> do any of these work with firefox to play mp3s in browser
[01:11] <kbrooks> Stormx2: "no,"
[01:11] <apokryphos> Teleios: amaroK is probably the most popular.
[01:11] <Stormx2> ubotu, no, players is Audio/MP3 Players: amaroK, Audacious, Banshee, Beep-media-player, JuK, Rhythmbox, XMMS ; Video players: Totem, Xine, Mplayer, VLC
[01:11] <ubotu> okay, Stormx2
[01:11] <voraistos> hey i downloaded the latest ubuntu build, how do i checksum it ?
[01:11] <_jason> !players =~ s/Rhythmbox/quodlibet, Rhythmbox/
[01:11] <ubotu> OK, _jason
[01:11] <Stormx2> Actually thats not in the repos... I should maintain a package ;)

[01:12] <pvd2006> can you resize a linux partition with qtparted?
[01:12] <kbrooks> pvd2006: yes
[01:12] <pvd2006> without damaging the linux partition file system.
[01:12] <Teleios> well now I'm getting mixed feedback on amaroK
[01:13] <ircbrowser99> !players
[01:13] <apokryphos> Teleios: where?
[01:13] <ubotu> players is, like, totally, Audio/MP3 Players: amaroK, Audacious, Banshee, Beep-media-player, JuK, quodlibet, Rhythmbox, XMMS ; Video players: Totem, Xine, Mplayer, VLC
[01:13] <osotogari> amarok, is ok. Crashes a lot for me
[01:13] <apokryphos> osotogari: what version?
[01:13] <pvd2006> Looks like its not detecting my hard drive partitions, hmmm.
[01:13] <kkathman> hey apokryphos :)
[01:13] <dli> pvd2006, ext3 can be safely resized
[01:13] <apokryphos> hi there ;-)
[01:13] <yipe> hi
[01:13] <russellc> hey, does anyone here use the lx5 with ubuntu?
[01:14] <russellc> i'm talking about the logitech lx5 mouse :P
[01:14] <osotogari> apokryphos: dunno the exact version and I'm away from my desktop ATM, i think its 1.3.8 or something like that
[01:14] <sstchur> I just installed Dapper, and I'm having some problems when I try to use synaptic package manager to install amarOK.  It keep barking at me about unresolvable dependencies, and I'm not sure how to get around it.  Can anyone help?
[01:14] <apokryphos> osotogari: best to update to more recent ones, as listed on kubuntu.org
[01:15] <osotogari> apokryphos: do i have to compile my own or can i get the update using apt-get?
[01:15] <apokryphos> osotogari: there's a repository with it, yup.
[01:15] <apokryphos> !listvalues amarok
[01:15] <ubotu> Factoid search of 'amarok' by value (4 shown): amarok ;; latest amarok ;; players ;; amarok 1.3.7.
[01:15] <apokryphos> ubotu: latest amarok
[01:15] <ubotu> Latest amaroK packaged for Kubuntu is amaroK 1.4 beta 3: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/amarok-1.4beta3.php
[01:15] <apokryphos> there =)
[01:16] <osotogari> Kudos man, thanks :)
[01:16] <lutra> sstchur: you should ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:16] <Hexidigital_> hi guys... i'm having lots of trouble installing my wireless driver using ndiswrapper
[01:17] <Hexidigital_> when i run "ndiswrapper -l", it tells me the hardware is present, driver is present.. however, i cannot get it to connect
[01:17] <jeffz> hi, does the dapper(beta) livecd come witih mysql?
[01:17] <apokryphos> no
[01:17] <jeffz> darn.
[01:17] <RandolphCarter> Hexidigital_: sudo insmod ndiswrapper
[01:17] <RandolphCarter> Hexidigital_: ?
[01:17] <sstchur> Lutra, how do I do that?
[01:17] <_jason> jeffz: you can still install it afaik
[01:18] <Hexidigital_> RandolphCarter: no such file or directory
[01:18] <Hexidigital_> ...
[01:18] <jeffz> _jason: i want to run a livecd on 50 machines, i don't want to download mysql 50 times
[01:18] <lutra> sstchur:  type /j #ubuntu+1
[01:18] <jeffz> _jason: it's a one off, distributed sql project
[01:18] <_jason> jeffz: yes, good point... there is a guide to customizing a livecd somewhere but that may be too much work too
[01:18] <derrick> guys, where is the "make" program in the Ubuntu system?
[01:19] <_jason> derrick: install build-essential
[01:19] <Hexidigital_> RandolphCarter: any idea how i can fix that "not found" problem?
[01:19] <kenzi> ./cdrom/pool/main/m/make
[01:19] <derrick> ok great, thanks
[01:19] <arcade> Hmm.. I've got this webcam I bought today.. and I'm having trouble getting it to work with Ubuntu.  A Phillips SPC900NC.  Supported by some third party drivers, but don't seem to be in the mainline kernel yet.
[01:19] <jeffz> _jason: yeah, i'll look to see if there are any other distros that have mysql 5 ontheir livecd.
[01:19] <jeffz> _jason: thanks
[01:19] <RandolphCarter> Hexidigital_: something's up then, there should be an ndiswrapper kmod
[01:19] <RandolphCarter> try running through the instructions on http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Ubuntu#6_-_Autoloading_2
[01:19] <_jason> is there a server livecd?
[01:19] <Hexidigital_> thanks, RandolphCarter
[01:19] <arcade> The patches should compile cleanly against a recent linux kernel .. or you can compile it as a module .. but I need to get the kernel sources or kernel headers installed.
[01:19] <arcade> or maybe both.
[01:19] <arcade> dunno.  Ideas?
[01:20] <dli> _jason, any reason to use ubuntu for server? why not debian?
[01:20] <AlinuxSOS> which file I must edit, to have an execuded command at the start ?
[01:20] <Tarantulafudge> I need to repair on mp3 with a bad frame, either to delete it or fix it or whichever, how can I do this?
[01:20] <arcade> dli: Debian is mostly out of date.
[01:20] <jeffz> dli: Ubuntu is better maintained.
[01:20] <_jason> dli: just curious if one exists, I'm not going to actually use it
[01:20] <arcade> dli: Well, I don't know what the current situation with Debian stable is.. but I left debian when potato came out and was out of date. ;)
[01:20] <dli> AlinuxSOS, ~/.gnome2/session , for gnome
[01:20] <AlinuxSOS> dli, and in general?
[01:21] <AlinuxSOS> I remmeber something like .r
[01:21] <dli> _jason, ubuntu targets desktop
[01:21] <AlinuxSOS> it's a terminal command.
[01:21] <zcat[1] > damn, kino almost looked like it was going to work this time too: 'failed to load media file' :-(
[01:21] <MacinMan> hey guys i've been trying to troubleshoot my video issues in ubuntu, i have full color  but my resolution is stuck in 640x480 i have a sis based intergrated video chipset?> i need help with this
[01:21] <dli> AlinuxSOS, there's no such "general"
[01:21] <Tarantulafudge> anyone?
[01:21] <_jason> jeffz: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily-live/20060505/ might want to burn one of these and see
[01:21] <jeffz> _jason: maybe.
[01:22] <AlinuxSOS> http_proxy=HTTP_PROXY
[01:22] <Tarantulafudge> Actually debian is a great server, ubuntu installs a bunch of worthless stuff on the server install for some reason
[01:22] <AlinuxSOS> I need this parametter evry session
[01:22] <blazemong> btw can someone try the prboom package in the repositories and see if it freezes their machine?
[01:22] <MacinMan> in fact ubuntu is the only thing that doesn't work right with my hardware
[01:22] <Tarantulafudge> I wanted to use ubuntu, but I just stoped when it loaded alsa in init
[01:22] <Hexidigital_> RandolphCarter: just glancing through, i see steps i have not done...
[01:22] <Hexidigital_> RandolphCarter: thanks for your help, once again
[01:23] <_jason> AlinuxSOS: is that for apt proxy?
[01:23] <AlinuxSOS> bbrazil, thank you for: http_proxy=HTTP_PROXY
[01:23] <AlinuxSOS> yes
[01:23] <_jason> AlinuxSOS: did setting it up in apt.conf not work?
[01:23] <AlinuxSOS> I must digit every time it for use apt-get
[01:23] <_jason> !apt_proxy
[01:23] <ubotu> apt_proxy is, like, totally, for Apt via a http proxy, make a file called apt.conf in /etc/apt and put this in it...     Acquire::http::Proxy "http://PROXYADDRESS:PORT";
[01:23] <AlinuxSOS> _jason, howto set it ?
[01:23] <bbrazil> AlinuxSOS: http_proxy= HTTP_PROXY=
[01:24] <RandolphCarter> Hexidigital_: no problem :)
[01:24] <MacinMan> does ubuntu have a utility to manually select drivers an the monitor type?
[01:24] <Quincy> anyone know a good, step-by-step thread for a noodi to follow to install mplayer with ALL common codecs?
[01:24] <Quincy> sorry, noobi!
[01:24] <AlinuxSOS> sonic2,  I edit apt.conf, and add the "line http_proxy=HTTP_PROXY="
[01:24] <Tarantulafudge> MacinMan, xorg.conf?
[01:24] <AlinuxSOS> oops
[01:24] <bbrazil> MacinMan: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (iirc)
[01:24] <dli> MacinMan, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , ask ubotu about resolution
[01:24] <Promit> ViewVC? anyone? i need some assistance
[01:24] <AlinuxSOS> ubotu, I don't want to use proxy
[01:24] <ubotu> AlinuxSOS: parse error: Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[01:25] <dli> Quincy, read docs at mplayerhq.hu
[01:25] <Promit> i'm using highlight with viewvc and can't figure out how to change highlight's style
[01:25] <_jason> AlinuxSOS: what do you mean?
[01:25] <Tarantulafudge> anyone know how to fix a bad mp3/
[01:25] <AlinuxSOS> for use apt-get, I need to digit every time http_proxy=HTTP_PROXY
[01:25] <dli> AlinuxSOS, "man apt.conf"
[01:25] <_jason> AlinuxSOS: what ubotu said should work too, if you want to use that method though you can put it in your ~/.bashrc
[01:26] <pvd2006> qtparted is not giving me the optiont o resize neither my linux ext3 partition nor my windows NTFS partition.
[01:26] <pvd2006> It is just greyed out.
[01:26] <arcade> How do I install the kernel sources in ubuntu?
[01:26] <AlinuxSOS> _jason, ok I've created ~/.bashrc and putted inside "http_proxy=HTTP_PROXY"
[01:27] <_jason> AlinuxSOS: I'm not even sure how that works, but you may want to start the line with 'export '
[01:27] <SecareLupus> Anyone know a decent DVD authoring program?
[01:28] <AlinuxSOS> _jason, it seams working without export.
[01:28] <AlinuxSOS> _jason, is no :) I'll change :)
[01:28] <_jason> AlinuxSOS: k
[01:28] <dli> _jason, apt.conf or apt.conf.d allows you to specify proxy
[01:28] <paradizelost> hey, anyone know where i can get libdivx4linux anymore?
[01:28] <_jason> dli: I informed him of that first
[01:28] <AlinuxSOS> _jason, dli thank yoU :)
[01:28] <Marcabru> Hello
[01:29] <AlinuxSOS> boys, I heard that there will be 2 types of kernels for dapper, faster to boot and another standart.
[01:29] <AlinuxSOS> is it true or i dont' understand something :)
[01:30] <SecareLupus> 2 kernels? I havn't heard anything about that
[01:30] <dli> AlinuxSOS, why not build your own? faster and smaller
[01:30] <mythica> RandolphCarter, U there?
[01:30] <SecareLupus> but, knowing me, I might've missed big news
[01:30] <AlinuxSOS> dli, :) no thanks I'm newbie
[01:30] <mythica> RandolphCarter, I am having these X problems again, after I rebooted
[01:30] <paradizelost> hey, anyone know where i can get libdivx4linux anymore?
[01:30] <AlinuxSOS> maybe in the near future :)
[01:30] <Marcabru> LOL, I can hardly handle ubuntu... my first day...
[01:30] <AlinuxSOS> so there will not be 2 types of kernels :D
[01:30] <SecareLupus> but Dapper looks sweet, I can't wait until June to upgrade
[01:30] <RandolphCarter> mythica: I thought that might happen, to fix it temporarily you just need to type in "export DISPLAY=:0"
[01:31] <dli> SecareLupus, you can upgrade now, ask ubotu about dapper upgrade
[01:31] <RandolphCarter> mythica: but I'd search your .bashrc and .bash_profile files for export DISPLAY= lines, and replace them with "export DISPLAY=:0"
[01:31] <mythica> RandolphCarter, I tried that, no go
[01:31] <dli> Marcabru, ask your questions
[01:32] <dli> Marcabru, you need to forgot silly ways of windows, if that's where you are from
[01:32] <Marcabru> I have too many questions right now....  I am watching text and thinking
[01:32] <mythica> RandolphCarter, Generates: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server  &  Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key  &  xhost:  unable to open display ":0"
[01:32] <lampshade> What does it mean if I can see lines fluxuating across my LCD screen on my laptop?  Does that mean the refresh rate is too high or too low?
[01:32] <Marcabru> I have been trying to get to Linux for YEARS
[01:32] <RandolphCarter> mythica: you need to do 'xhost +' as yourself first then :)
[01:32] <lampshade> I'm assuming too low
[01:32] <mythica> RandolphCarter, Ok I am checking now
[01:32] <mythica> RandolphCarter, Thanks
[01:32] <Marcabru> and I am FINALLY here...  but this aint easy yet...
[01:32] <RandolphCarter> mythica: np
[01:32] <dli> Marcabru, for example?
[01:33] <Marcabru> For example I wanted to change my keyboard to spanish
[01:33] <isai> Hi. I just installed an old version of ubuntu on my computer and now it tells me to update to breezy. How would I go about doing that? I already did apt-get dist-upgrade.
[01:33] <Marcabru> and it doesn-t seem to want to take
[01:33] <Marcabru> I went to preferences
[01:33] <jramsey> trying to build the vanilla kernel from kernel.org and make xfconfig yields Unable to find the QT installation; any idea where the QT pkg is?
[01:33] <Marcabru> picked up spanish... and nothing happened
[01:33] <jtd_> isai: did you change your /etc/apt/sources.list from hoary to breezy?
[01:34] <isai> no..should I?
[01:34] <TiG4> --Does anyone know of a program that will record whatever is playing through my speakers to an MP3 or WAV or other file?--
[01:34] <jtd_> yes.  all the lines in that file that say "hoary" should be changed to "breezy."
[01:34] <maher> TiG4: vsound
[01:34] <jtd_> then do a sudo apt-get update, then a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.
[01:34] <vinboy> hi
[01:35] <vinboy> how do I save my naitilus view settings as default?
[01:35] <isai> jtd_: okay, thanks!
[01:35] <TiG4> maher: will it work with ALSA?
[01:35] <jtd_> no problem :)
[01:35] <voraistos> hey pls smo tell how to checksum an iso file ?
[01:35] <jramsey> anyone know the pkg name for QT, the x pkg?
[01:35] <maher> TiG4: definitely yes if alsa has oss emulation - otherwise don't know
[01:35] <dli> Marcabru, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDCustomizationHowTo
[01:35] <jtd_> is anyone here familiar with the Postfix guide on the Wiki?  or just configuring postfix and Dovecot in general?
[01:35] <Marcabru> thank you Dli
[01:36] <jramsey> !QT
[01:36] <ubotu> Qt is the Q-toolkit. Qt is to KDE what GTK is to GNOME. For the Qt includes, install the libqt3-mt-dev package
[01:36] <TiG4> maher: Thanks so much!
[01:36] <isai> voraistos: just a regular or some or md5sum?
[01:36] <voraistos> it is for the ubuntu CD
[01:36] <jtd_> because there appear to be errors in the postfix guide and in the dovecot guide.
[01:37] <dooglus> voraistos: just run "md5sum <file.iso>"
[01:37] <isai> voraistos: $md5sum file.iso
[01:37] <mcsteels> #gentoo
[01:37] <voraistos> isai: ok thx
[01:37] <corri> hi
[01:37] <jtd_> specifically, the postfix guide tells you to make changes to smtpd.conf, which doesn't exist, and the dovecot guide tells you to use .pem files which are supposedly created by the installer (but aren't really).
[01:38] <MacinMan> ok guys rand the reconfiguration tool, all my hardware is picked up correctly, but i'm still stuck in 640x480 60 mhz

[01:39] <kbrooks> !getdapper
[01:39] <ubotu> You can download Dapper CD images via http://releases.ubuntu.com/dapper/ or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/.  Or to upgrade from Breezy see !upgrade.
[01:39] <kbrooks> ah
[01:39] <dli> Marcabru, let me find a clear howto
[01:39] <kbrooks> :-)
[01:39] <kbrooks> _jason: ok ok

[01:40] <RandolphCarter> daryl__: try 'sudo ./ati-driver-installer-8.18.6-i386.run'
[01:40] <ompaul> Marcabru, so remove that bad information from your brain and replace it with something useful :-)
[01:40] <czr> and chmod +x it as dooglus said
[01:40] <RandolphCarter> see above :P
[01:40] <Marcabru> ompaul...  thats what I-m trying to do
[01:40] <Marcabru> exactly why I am here
[01:40] <dli> Marcabru, you can get it in gnome, Go to menu, System-> Preferences -> Keyboard, and add layout there
[01:41] <KyoLptp`> is there an FLV player for linux?
[01:41] <dli> ompaul, where is the ubuntu keymap howto?
[01:41] <Marcabru> dli... I went there...  and did it and it Won-t take when I use the writer program
[01:41] <Marcabru> when I use open office its not taking
[01:41] <isai> kyoLptp': mplayer
[01:41] <Marcabru> I even removed the english and left the spanish and checked it
[01:42] <Marcabru> and the keyboard stays the same
[01:42] <willwork4foo> hiya...can anyone point me in the right direction for learning how to edit my keyboard charmap? I've got a UK mac iBook with Ubuntu 5.10 breezy on it, and I am lacking a hash key
[01:42] <daryl__> thanks
[01:42] <ompaul> dli, no idea but the program is here: System preferences keyboard
[01:42] <Marcabru> ompaul... yep
[01:42] <dli> ompaul, that changes X keymap or the system default?
[01:43] <roostishaw> hello, how do i make it so that a bash script (in my home directory) will run when i type in 'namehere' in the terminal?
[01:43] <Marcabru> under layouts
[01:43] <isai> KyoLptp`: to be honest I have not tried the ubuntu versions. I compiled from CVS. but it works much better that way anyways.
[01:43] <roostishaw> namehere meaning the name of the script
[01:43] <Marcabru> brb
[01:43] <Marcabru> I-ll keep trying
[01:43] <dli> Marcabru, check help there, I think you can get it there
[01:43] <ompaul> dli, also >> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg << can do things for fonts that is useful
[01:43] <Marcabru> ok
[01:43] <isai> willwork4foo: just a question: did you get the Airport wireless working?
[01:43] <Marcabru> ty
[01:43] <dli> ompaul, that's still for X only?
[01:43] <Marcabru> AFK
[01:44] <ompaul> dli, sorry at 00:43 not firing on all cylinders
[01:44] <willwork4foo> isai, not yet - but I'm going to do that once I get my fscking hash key
[01:44] <willwork4foo> I am fairly confident I'll manage to get the wifi working
[01:44] <willwork4foo> but I want my hash key first
[01:45] <dooglus> roostishaw: 1) chmod +x namehere 2) put namehere somewhere that's in your $PATH.  I suggest making a ~/bin directory, putting it there, and having "PATH=~/bin:$PATH" in your .bashrc
[01:45] <isai> willwork4foo: sorry can't help you out on the keyboard...
[01:45] <harisund> People, could you give me a quick link on how to setup a small apt repository? I want to setup a repository on my 192.168.0.5 machine and use it for some softwares whose .deb files are all I have :)
[01:45] <serp> when my apps do full screen, it pops up on my left (secondary) monitor. how do I change it so they pop up on the right (primary) monitor?
[01:45] <isai> I tried running ubuntu on an ibook and gave up because Airport wouldn't work.
[01:45] <dli> ompaul, http://www.infodrom.org/Debian/doc/maint/Maintenance-sysadmin.html
[01:45] <roostishaw> dooglus, where is .bashrc?
[01:46] <dooglus> roostishaw: in your home directory
[01:46] <dli> Marcabru, read the debian docs, http://www.infodrom.org/Debian/doc/maint/Maintenance-sysadmin.html
[01:46] <dooglus> roostishaw: nano ~/.bashrc
[01:46] <willwork4foo> isai, look at the latest rc3 kernel revision - there is support in there for the airport extreme
[01:46] <Viking667> Is there.... wow, tha's a lotta nicks!!! .... is there a pseudo-package that provides all the relevant xorg development stuff?
[01:46] <willwork4foo> isai, look on Gentoo's forums - there is a howto there for using it
[01:46] <dooglus> roostishaw: you'll have to run a new terminal before it will work
[01:46] <ompaul> dli, well ubuntu not gone for it all but the little lifesaver choose GNOME 2.10 Desktop Accessibility Guide and mouse and it may just set the stuff below
[01:46] <dnull> Anyone know anything about Ubuntu supporting the VIA VT8251 chipset, especially in regards to SATA?
[01:46] <isai> willwork4foo: vanilla kernel 2.6.x or ubuntu version?
[01:47] <SAM_theman> http://pastebin.com/702756
[01:47] <SAM_theman> help!!!
[01:47] <ompaul> dli, and the dpkg thing I think starts with setting the font for the base syste,
[01:47] <dooglus> Viking667: you can get all the dev packages you need by running "sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-terminal" (or whatever package you're trying to build)
[01:47] <dli> Marcabru, keymap must be handled during installation, otherwise how can you set it up without a functioning keyboard?
[01:47] <jramsey> harisund, did u check http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/286
[01:47] <isai> willwork4foo: hmm..thanks...I'll check into it after finals.
[01:47] <ompaul> SAM_theman, (A) we saw the URL and (B) please stop using the enter key where a comma will do
[01:47] <Viking667> dooglus: err, it's not a gnome package. It's actually a console package with an X component. (twin)
[01:47] <dli> ompaul, does ubuntu ask user about keyboard during installation?
[01:48] <willwork4foo> isai: I'm doing my final exams as well soon - the last exams for my entire degree!
[01:48] <roostishaw> dooglus, ok, what do i do once i have bashrc open?
[01:48] <ompaul> dli, right at the start
[01:48] <Viking667> dli: I think it does, yes
[01:48] <jramsey> willwork4foo, sounds like it's time for the next degree ;)
[01:48] <dooglus> Viking667: replace gnome-terminal with whatever package you want to build, or something with similar dependancies
[01:48] <ompaul> dli, second or third entry iirc
[01:48] <isai> willwork4foo: good luck... i still got 1 year to go :(
[01:48] <dli> ompaul, then, hard to handle dumb users
[01:48] <SAM_theman> ..
[01:48] <dooglus> roostishaw: add a line at the end saying: "PATH=~/bin:$PATH"
[01:48] <Viking667> dooglus: the problem is, the version of twin I'm building isn't IN the ubuntu database.
[01:48] <willwork4foo> jramsey: what do you mean?
[01:48] <ompaul> SAM_theman, have patience
[01:48] <ompaul> !patience
[01:48] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Please be aware there are a lot of questions, but only maybe few who might know the answer for you. Please be patient. Your attitude may determine their willingness to help you.
[01:49] <Viking667> ... though I thank you for the idea, I'm not sure how the hell I'll apply it.
[01:49] <jramsey> willwork4foo, i mean, if BS, go for Masters .. if Masters, go for PhD ... if PhD, ur done!
[01:49] <willwork4foo> I'm going for a job interview in London on monday
[01:49] <dooglus> Viking667: it doesn't matter - it will have very similar dependancies
[01:49] <wizzlefish> for some reason the GAIM icon at the top panel is gone. how would I get it back?
[01:49] <Viking667> dooglus: mmmm. true.
[01:49] <roostishaw> dooglus, ok, and the script should be in 'bin' in my home directory?
[01:49] <dooglus> Viking667: just run "sudo apt-get build-dep twin"
[01:49] <rando1> good morng all :)
[01:49] <willwork4foo> I am going to work for a while to pay off debts, then go back and do a masters
[01:49] <dooglus> roostishaw: yes.  and you will need to "chmod +x" on it
[01:49] <ircbrowser99> good luck, willwork4foo
[01:49] <jramsey> willwork4foo,  remember it is hard to do a masters while working
[01:49] <willwork4foo> cheers
[01:49] <Viking667> dooglus: thanks. I was hoping to avoid that, but I guess that's what I'll have to do.
[01:49] <willwork4foo> it's for a Debian Linux SysAdmin job
[01:49] <dli> Viking667, I never had keyboard blocking me, because I always have debian installed with ssh (and public key), so I can always ssh login
[01:49] <roostishaw> dooglus, ok, and this wont screw with anything else?
[01:49] <willwork4foo> jramsey, I know that.
[01:50] <dooglus> Viking667: why avoid that?  that will install just the stuff you need to build twin
[01:50] <jramsey> willwork4foo, gl
[01:50] <Viking667> mmmmm.
[01:50] <dooglus> roostishaw: so long as you don't call your script the same as an existing command (like 'ls') it'll be fine
[01:50] <bosco> how do i extract a .rar file
[01:50] <dooglus> bosco: unrar
[01:50] <roostishaw> dooglus, ok, then i just run 'scriptname' ?
[01:50] <rando1> does anyone have any idea how i can prevent my hdd spinning down so frequently on a sony VAIO TX1 laptop?
[01:50] <bosco> kk thanks
[01:50] <isai> willwork4foo: doing a masters will working might not be bad depending on major. EE or CompE is usually paid by employer anyways.
[01:51] <dooglus> bosco: or "unrar-nonfree" if that doesn't work
[01:51] <ompaul> SAM_theman, where did you get that directory from?
[01:51] <lampshade> rando1, ummm laptop-mode might help
[01:51] <mythica> when I run xhost +localhost as root it just hangs
[01:51] <rando1> yeah, already running in laptop mode
[01:51] <willwork4foo> I am going to do Systems Administration as a Masters, I think
[01:51] <rando1> im running dapper flight 7
[01:51] <lampshade> hmmm I dunno then
[01:52] <willwork4foo> Operating Systems Management and stuff like that
[01:52] <dooglus> rando1: you could make a cron job which touches a file and runs 'sync' every minute I guess...
[01:52] <TiG4> maher: I get a wierd error when i try vsound
[01:52] <TiG4> About to start the application. The output will not be available
[01:52] <TiG4> until the application exits.
[01:52] <TiG4> Missing file ./vsound2
[01:52] <dooglus> rando1: it's a nasty hack, but it might well work
[01:52] <roostishaw> dooglus, ok, thank you!
[01:52] <rando1> but saying that, the slowness probem has been around since breezy
[01:52] <willwork4foo> My degree was Computing for Real-Time Systems - but I selected a large number of SysAdmin-related and networking-related stuff
[01:52] <rando1> dooglus: good call
[01:53] <rando1> nasty, yes, but if there is no other solution, its not a bad suggestion :)
[01:53] <RandolphCarter> willwork4foo: heh, 3 years into a Software Engineering degree and I'm itching to switch to Archaeology :( *sighs*
[01:53] <dooglus> rando1: you know how to make a cron job?
[01:53] <willwork4foo> lol
[01:53] <rando1> yeah no worries there
[01:53] <willwork4foo> I feel sorry for the guys at my university doing software engineering
[01:54] <willwork4foo> especially the guys who did the compiler design module
[01:54] <SAM_theman> ok i am
[01:54] <SAM_theman> back
[01:54] <ompaul> !offtopic
[01:54] <ubotu> Non Ubuntu support related discussions may be carried out in the channel #ubuntu-offtopic. Editor/Language wars are welcome there!
[01:54] <lampshade> RandolphCarter, 3 years into Comp E I switched to physics because I figured out that's what I loved more.  You aren't the only one anyway :-)
[01:54] <voraistos> hey guys, i have troubles writing an iso file with the nautilus integrated stuff, do you know why ?
[01:54] <isai> voraistos: go to a terminal. at shell type : md5sum filename.iso. Whatever number it gives you should match up with website.
[01:54] <rando1> dooglus: atleast i *think* thats what the problem is
[01:54] <willwork4foo> they had to write a compiler for a language called redbush - they had to write the compiler in java
[01:54] <NoobSauce> gnome-system-monitor says that I have 1 cpu when I actually have a dual-core CPU. Is this because I'm running an i386 kernel? Should I be running something else? Is it a but in the system-monitor? Is there someplace else I could check how many CPUs are detected?
[01:54] <Marcabru> thank you for the help...  I will continue trying...  I want to do everything possible to stay on Ubuntu and Linux
[01:54] <RandolphCarter> lampshade: cool :) and ouch about the compiler :/
[01:54] <dooglus> rando1: I'm not with you.  what's the problem?
[01:54] <RandolphCarter> worst I've had to do is write a lisp :/
[01:54] <voraistos> isai: ????
[01:54] <NoobSauce> sorry about that mouthful... don't wanna spam the chatroom
[01:55] <SAM_theman> O yeah,I went to the ubuntu forums looking for help why is my games sounds arn't working
[01:55] <rando1> dooglus: i get a lot of hdd acticity for doing very little; browsing menu's etc
[01:55] <MacinMan> ok, video is not improving  no matter what i am doing i can't get any higher resolutions, even though they are listed in xorg configuration
[01:55] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: you need to install an SMP kernel
[01:55] <SAM_theman> still can't find anything tried some stuff didn't work
[01:55] <dooglus> rando1: it's probably swapping.  are you short of RAM?
[01:55] <rando1> dooglus:  and its as if i have to wait for the hdd to spin up (light stays on for a second or 2, then the menu loads)
[01:55] <kbrooks> MacinMan: restat X.
[01:55] <dooglus> rando1: "free" will tell you
[01:55] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: assuming you're using an AMD dual core, try 'sudo aptitude install linux-k7-smp'
[01:55] <slackern> NoobSauce: Im not sure you might need a SMP capable kernel.
[01:55] <NoobSauce> RandolphCarter what's the difference between an SMP kernel and i386?
[01:55] <ompaul> SAM_theman, you were asked a simple question about where that data you tried to test for came from
[01:55] <MacinMan> kbrooks i've restarted the whole box
[01:56] <MacinMan> several times
[01:56] <isai> voraistos: sorry...try gnome baker or kb3 if nautilus won't work.
[01:56] <rando1> dooglus: i have 512 physical, ill jsut check my swap size
[01:56] <voraistos> isai: thx, i install that now
[01:56] <kenzi> guys i have a problem
[01:56] <kenzi> configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool
[01:56] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: SMP =multi-processing :)
[01:56] <MacinMan> nothing is changing it
[01:56] <kenzi> how can i fix it ?
[01:56] <NoobSauce> slackern RandolphCarter if I have already installed Nvidia drivers, will changing the kernel mess things up?
[01:56] <isai> NoobSauce: you need an SMP kernel
[01:56] <rando1> dooglus: yeah, im using over 100mb swap :S
[01:56] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: probably, almost definitely, yes
[01:57] <SAM_theman> o
[01:57] <rando1> time to get some more ram i guess...
[01:57] <SAM_theman> from a  site
[01:57] <ompaul> rando1, you need more ram
[01:57] <lampshade> The one weird thing I wish I knew more about, that makes NO sense to me.... is that I can here a new sound running Ubuntu with my machine than with Windows.  Like this high tech high pitched sound
[01:57] <SAM_theman> :P
[01:57] <lampshade> really weird
[01:57] <SAM_theman> srry
[01:57] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: if you installed it using the ubuntu packages you shouldn't have much of a problem though
[01:57] <slackern> NoobSauce: You will need restricted drivers perhaps for the smp kernel also then.
[01:57] <rando1> dooglus: tbh, i hand't thought of that!
[01:57] <RandolphCarter> slackern: that linux-smp-k7 is a virtual package that includes it
[01:57] <dooglus> rando1: try closing down firefox - that usually uses a lot of RAM
[01:57] <MacinMan> kbrooks what's consuing me is i usually run fedora core on this box and it doesn't have  these issues with video
[01:57] <rando1> dooglus: and to think that ive been using windows for years, you'd think i would know swapping when i see it :P
[01:57] <slackern> rando1: Aye, thats true.
[01:58] <slackern> rando1: oh sorry that last was to RandolphCarter
[01:58] <dooglus> rando1: if you run    ps -eo 'uname,pid,ppid,sz:6,stime,time,cmd' | perl -pe 'BEGIN{print scalar <>}sub fmt{sprintf "%9s ", sprintf "%.2fMb", (shift)/256.0} s/((?:\S+\s+){2}\S+)(\s+\S+)/&fmt($2).$1/e' | grep -vF '0.00Mb' | sort -n | cut -c-$COLUMNS    it'll show you which process is using lots of memory
[01:58] <NoobSauce> randolphcarter slackern so there's NO way around this? I must change kernel versions? I spent a ton of time getting nvidia drivers working... so...
[01:58] <rando1> dooglus: closing FF cleared 1mb swap! doh
[01:58] <ompaul> SAM_theman, well if you cd down to each directory you will find card0 and then you will find out what type it is
[01:58] <rando1> slackern: nps :)
[01:58] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: yes, no way around it, SMP = more than one CPU
[01:58] <dooglus> rando1: you'll find you've got lots of free memory now.  with time stuff will migrate from swap into RAM
[01:58] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: if you're using the ubuntu Nvidia drivers though (didn't install your own by hand), you shouldn't even notice the change though
[01:58] <slackern> NoobSauce: It's like changing HAL in windows, thats no fun either :)
[01:58] <rando1> dooglus: thats one hell of a command string
[01:59] <dooglus> rando1: it won't be moved into RAM until you use it next.
[01:59] <rando1> dooglus: ahh i c :)
[01:59] <NoobSauce> if this breaks my nvidia drivers I think I will cry :(
[01:59] <dooglus> rando1: I know, but I've not found an easier way to do it
[01:59] <rando1> dooglus: got ya
[01:59] <NoobSauce> slackern what's HAL?
[01:59] <isai> RandolphCarter: SMP is also needed for x86-64bit procs.
[01:59] <SAM_theman> brb
[01:59] <SAM_theman> restarting comp
[01:59] <rando1> dooglus: lol - ill give it a try brb
[01:59] <dooglus> rando1: if you run 'free' and look at 'free mem' you'll see it's quite a lot now I guess
[02:00] <NoobSauce> slackern RandolphCarter will going to k7 break any compatibility with 32-bit apps? or should that all be ok?
[02:00] <slackern> NoobSauce: HardwareAbstractionLayer if im not wrong, theres a load of them too depending on what type of cpu/cpus you are using and more :)
[02:00] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: k7 is 32-bit
[02:00] <slackern> NoobSauce: Is it an amd you have?
[02:00] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: k8 is 64-bit
[02:00] <ompaul> 41.96Mb ompaul    9187     1 May06 00:03:03 xchat
[02:00] <MacinMan> bbl
[02:00] <harisund> Could someone suggest the best way to install RealPlayer?
[02:00] <dooglus> ompaul: I had this: ps -eo 'uname,pid,ppid,sz:6,stime,time,cmd' | perl -pe 'BEGIN{print scalar <>}sub fmt{sprintf "%9s ", sprintf "%.2fMb", (shift)/256.0} s/((?:\S+\s+){2}\S+)(\s+\S+)/&fmt($2).$1/e' | grep -vF '0.00Mb' | sort -n | cut -c-$COLUMNS
[02:00] <dooglus> oops, sorry.
[02:00] <isai> harisund: check ubuntuguide.org
[02:00] <dooglus> I had this:  214.81Mb chris     5048  5008 May06 00:39:37 /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin -a firefox
[02:00] <ompaul> dooglus, yukie
[02:01] <dooglus> that was with only 3 tabs open too.  seems to be a leak, maybe?
[02:01] <harisund> isai: There are 3 methods over there. There is a .deb method, a .bin method and another one. I want the best one :)
[02:01] <slackern>  76.97Mb slackern 10409     1 00:59 00:00:04 nautilus yay
[02:01] <rando1> dooglus: atm, that ps command shows vmware and vlc player as killing my system, but i dont usually have either of them running and the problem is still aparent (admididly, the problem is far more aparent with both of those apps open :P)
[02:01] <NoobSauce> RandolphCarter: slackern ok, I guess it's time to upgrade the kernel... I had compiz+xgl working on this install and if I have to reset it up again, I'm gonna be really mad
[02:01] <NoobSauce> thanks guys
[02:01] <caspe1> does anyone know how to extract rar files with ubuntu? what app i use?
[02:01] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: so long as you've done things "the ubuntu way", you shouldn't have a problem
[02:01] <dooglus> caspe1: use unrar
[02:01] <slackern> NoobSauce: It shouldn't be much to change unless you did the drivers manually and such, and atleast now you have a clue about what to do :)
[02:01] <caspe1> sweet thanks dooglus
[02:01] <dooglus> caspe1: if package 'unrar' doesn't do it, try 'unrar-nonfree' instead (on breezy)
[02:01] <teh> can i apt-get install the java sdk?
[02:01] <NoobSauce> RandolphCarter: how do I change the kernel anyways?
[02:01] <rando1> dooglus:  131.07Mb tom      14422     1 00:09 00:01:13 wxvlc /home/tom/Desktop/jan_mix.mp
[02:01] <rando1>  275.23Mb root     10397 10387 May06 00:47:07 /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx -@
[02:02] <kenzi> configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool
[02:02] <kenzi> how can i fix it ?
[02:02] <caspe1> ok
[02:02] <caspe1> will try now
[02:02] <isai> harisund: in AddOn section number 18. It only shows it 1 way.
[02:02] <dooglus> teh: you can use 'java-package' to turn the Sun Java .bin file into a .deb package
[02:02] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: just do 'sudo aptitude install linux-k7-smp' at a terminal
[02:02] <rando1> dooglus: so even with not "much" open, the problem still exists
[02:02] <NoobSauce> RandolphCarter: what's the difference between aptitude and apt-get?
[02:02] <bbrazil> kenzi: sudo apt-get install libxml-parser-perl
[02:03] <harisund> isai: is it ok if it is for 5.04? I am talking about 5.10 here?
[02:03] <dooglus> rando1: those memory sizes are a little misleading.  it's quite possible that the 275Mb used by vmware and the 131Mb used by vlc overlap to some extent, if they use the same libraries.
[02:03] <slackern> NoobSauce: it's kde's synapic, in other words a gui for apt-get
[02:03] <farous> how would i increase the time before the screen goes blank when running my notebook on battery? i disabled the xscreensaver but this did not help
[02:03] <rando1> dooglus: i got ya
[02:03] <thrice`> slackern: aptitude is?
[02:03] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: not much, aptitude was (a few years back when I first learned this), the newer way of doing things though
[02:03] <thrice`> you sure about that one?
[02:03] <bbrazil> fredux: xset -dpms
[02:03] <NoobSauce> slackern oh, it's just a different frontend? no technical improvements or anything?
[02:03] <isai> don't know although it should work. If you want the greatest get it from RealAudio.com
[02:03] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: so it stuck with me ^_^ use what you prefer

[02:03] <slackern> oh, don't listen to me :)
[02:03] <bbrazil> fredux: that turns it off iirc
[02:04] <slackern> i was thinking about something else and mixed up the names
[02:04] <dooglus> NoobSauce: aptitude is a bit cleverer about remembering which packages you have asked to have installed, and which were installed just because they were dependancies
[02:04] <RandolphCarter> slackern: aptitude isn't, it's text only
[02:04] <rando1> dooglus: obviously i dont have enough RAM :P
[02:04] <harisund> See? That's what I was talking about isai. I dont want to be told more than one method that works. (meaning creates appropriate plugins for firefox)
[02:04] <dooglus> NoobSauce: so when you uninstall stuff, it can uninstall unneeded dependancies, whereas apt-get won't
[02:04] <NoobSauce> ok, time for restart... hope everything works *crosses fingers*
[02:04] <poningru> !wireless
[02:04] <ubotu> I guess 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
[02:04] <dooglus> rando1: either that or you just have expensive tastes in apps.  :)
[02:04] <brokengun> anyone have any experience installing ubuntu on a mac?
[02:04] <dooglus> rando1: of course, keeping the disk from spinning down will speed things us
[02:04] <dooglus> speed things up
[02:05] <rando1> dooglus: hehe, well, i do use this machine for everything :) i;ve never liked a *nix distro so much :)
[02:05] <isai> harisund: I don't think you find the 'one true method'. everyone has their opinions. I would suggest trying the apt-get method first. If that fails, then apt-get remove it, then try the realplayer.bin file from RealAudio.
[02:05] <harisund> Ah ok got you isai.. will do that :)
[02:06] <rando1> dooglus: i wouldnt ususally be using vmware, but im experimenting with building a ubuntu based mail server to replace my (excuse the bad taste) winbloze one
[02:06] <isai> harisund: i don't mean to sound non helpful, but most people here won't touch realplayer with a long pole. So it might be hard to get anecdotal evidence.
[02:06] <TiG4> --- When I try the following command with mplayer:    mplayer -dump mms://*****         It returns a "stream not seekable" error.
[02:06] <TiG4> Any ideas?
[02:06] <RandolphCarter> harisund: I've got it running, I followed the instructions on the restricted formats page of the Ubuntu Wiki
[02:06] <dooglus> rando1: it's understandable that vmware uses a lot of memory - it's a whole separate OS in a process.
[02:06] <RandolphCarter> harisund: if you want to get it working on X64, you'll erally need to setup a chroot
[02:07] <TiG4> !wiki mms
[02:07] <caspe1> i cant find unrar in applications
[02:07] <rando1> dooglus: which is why it rocks so much :)
[02:07] <dooglus> TiG4: are you sure it's an error?  I tried it yesterday, saw that message, but it was still dumping.
[02:07] <farous> !rar
[02:07] <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
[02:07] <caspe1> wicked thanks
[02:07] <dooglus> caspe1: breezy?  or what?
[02:07] <TiG4> dooglus: where would it dump
[02:07] <caspe1> ya breezy
[02:07] <rando1> dooglus: but like i say, i can just run ubuntu "out of the box" and the hdd issue still exists
[02:07] <NoobSauce> it worked thank goodness :)
[02:07] <RandolphCarter> :)
[02:07] <dooglus> TiG4: in the current directory.  do a "ls -altr" and it's the last file shown
[02:07] <TiG4> dooglus: i see stream.dump
[02:07] <NoobSauce> does anyone know how to get an OSX taskbar for gnome?
[02:07] <zcat[1] > last time I tried to isntall realplayer (from the .bin) it hijacked file associations for everything including flash files it couldn't even play. Took me most of an afternoon to clean up the mess. That was about 5 years ago. I will never touch or recommend real, ever again.
[02:08] <dooglus> TiG4: that'll be it I guess
[02:08] <dooglus> TiG4: is it growing?
[02:08] <rando1> dooglus: tbh, i never looked at how much swap was being used as a fresh install
[02:08] <NoobSauce> I see one in every screenshot of people's desktops and for some reason nobody says how to do it
[02:08] <RandolphCarter> zcat[1] : but how do you listen to BBC Radio 4? :(
[02:08] <farous> caspe1: install rar than in a term type rar e filename
[02:08] <zcat[1] > mplayer or vlc with w32codecs will play real media
[02:08] <brokengun> Noobsauce: do you know how to get gnome on OS X?
[02:08] <TiG4> dooglus: NICE!
[02:08] <rando1> dooglus: so i cant quantify it; more ram has always been on the shopping list thou
[02:08] <caspe1> how do i install it though
[02:08] <caspe1> i cant find it :(
[02:08] <TiG4> dooglus, thanks
[02:08] <farous> sudo aptitude install rar in a term
[02:08] <NoobSauce> brokengun: why would you ever want to do that?!
[02:09] <brokengun> for kicks
[02:09] <dooglus> rando1: I would expect it to be "none at all" until you run something.  I have 384Mb RAM and can run dapper without swapping.  it's only when I start Emacs or Firefox that it puts anything in the swap partition
[02:09] <bbrazil> NoobSauce: xwd | convert - image.jpg
[02:09] <NoobSauce> brokengun: sorry, no idea...
[02:09] <bbrazil> NoobSauce: There should also be a snapshot utility in the menu somewhere
[02:09] <dooglus> TiG4: mplayer will exit when it's finished dumping.  then you can rename the dump file to have the correct extension
[02:09] <caspe1> i cant find unrar anywhere in add aplications
[02:09] <dli> caspe1, unrar-nonfree
[02:09] <farous> caspel it is called rar not unrar
[02:09] <caspe1> o okies
[02:09] <TiG4> dooglus, it is a .asf file, do you know of a way to convert to mp3
[02:09] <TiG4> ?
[02:09] <rando1> dooglus: that sounds right; when i next reboot i will try it. i do have a few extra background services running though so it may be a little different for me
[02:10] <farous> you can search for it also using synaptic will give you a bunch of them
[02:10] <caspe1> okies
[02:10] <caspe1> will try now
[02:10] <farous> or sudo aptitude search rar
[02:10] <NoobSauce> bbrazil: I wanted to know how to get the OSX bar on gnome, not to take screenshots :P sorry about the confusion
[02:10] <rando1> dooglus: can you suggest anything else other than swapping which may be causing the symptoms? i find it hard to believe that it is actually spinning down as i use it constantly- i.e. no time to spin down, unless it does so after 5 secs of inactiviity
[02:10] <dooglus> caspe1: there's a package called 'unrar-nonfree' in multiverse for breezy.
[02:10] <farous> how would i increase the time before the screen goes blank when running my notebook on battery? i disabled the xscreensaver but this did not help
[02:11] <Teleios> does ubuntu install on an intel mac?
[02:11] <caspe1> dooglus i will search for that now
[02:11] <dooglus> rando1: does it happen all the time, even if you reboot and run hardly anything?
[02:11] <caspe1> cant find it dooglus
[02:11] <rando1> dooglus: yup :(
[02:11] <TiG4> !wiki audio conversion
[02:12] <dooglus> caspe1: you don't need to search, just enable multiverse and "sudo apt-get install unrar-nonfree"

[02:12] <lampshade> when's badger come out?  June?  Is that a hard deadline?
[02:12] <_sHaDe> Buona Notte a Tutti
[02:12] <lampshade> or could it come sooner?
[02:12] <NoobSauce> !OSX
[02:12] <ubotu> No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, NoobSauce
[02:12] <farous> !tell caspe1 about easysource
[02:12] <caspe1> i think so
[02:12] <slackern> lampshade: You mean dapper?
[02:12] <caspe1> i will check now though
[02:12] <dooglus> lampshade: breezy badger was October 2005.  dapper drake is 1st June I think
[02:12] <lampshade> dapper yeah
[02:13] <dooglus> lampshade: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseSchedule for dates
[02:13] <lampshade> k,  I run Ubuntu on my main laptop, which is my only machine--so I have to make sure you know, like I can't trust beta stuff at all I really need it to be as good as it is going to get before I put it on
[02:13] <lampshade> since I have no other machine or anything
[02:13] <lampshade> but I can't wait for the new wireless manager and stuff like that.  Also the new gnome.
[02:13] <TiG4> -- Does anyone know how to convert ASF to MP3 or other format? ---
[02:13] <dooglus> lampshade: dapper's pretty good now.  I've been running it without problems for a while now.  everything's in version freeze already.
[02:13] <rando1> fyi, ive had no issues with dapper since flight 4
[02:14] <rando1> its all been plain sailing :)
[02:14] <slackern> lampshade: running it here too quite nicely, but better stick with breezy if you want to be sure.
[02:14] <Marsmensch> hi anyone knows if there's a script or something to get the nasa astronomical picture of the day on the wallpaper? tried some myself but it seems not to work :-/
[02:14] <liquidindian> What does fsck do?  Why would I need to run it to fix things?
[02:14] <dooglus> liquidindian: FileSystemChecK
[02:15] <liquidindian> Ahh.  A bit like Windows if it doesn't shut down properly?
[02:15] <dooglus> Marsmensch: you could use a cron job to download the image and put it on the desktop
[02:15] <cocox> hi there
[02:15] <TiG4> -- Does anyone know how to convert ASF to MP3 or other format? ---
[02:15] <Marsmensch> dooglus, have you done somethink like this?
[02:15] <cocox> how can i do to know what kind of ubunto do i have ??????
[02:16] <rando1> hi cocox
[02:16] <cocox> hi randol
[02:16] <caspe1> ok ya i have them enabled dooglus
[02:16] <dooglus> Marsmensch: I've not, no.  I don't know where the nasa pics are, and I'm not sure how to set the wallpaper from a script, but it shouldn't be too hard
[02:16] <biovore> TiG4: mencoder will do it
[02:16] <caspe1> how do i find that unrar-retail
[02:16] <rando1> cocox: what exactly do you mean?
[02:16] <dooglus> TiG4: mencoder should be able to do that I think
[02:17] <caspe1> or unrar-nonfree
[02:17] <caspe1> sorry
[02:17] <awesometaylor> cocox System->About Ubuntu on GNOME panel
[02:17] <Marsmensch> i have a small script that gets the url of the image an downloads it ... but you 've said it, i don't know how to set the wallpaper by script
[02:17] <cocox> randol, i want to know if i have Hoary or Breezy
[02:17] <J_P> hi all
[02:17] <lampshade> cocox, go to System >> About Ubuntu >> Core Components will tell you
[02:17] <rando1> ^^ do what awesometaylor said :P
[02:17] <lampshade> it should say something like Ubuntu 5.10 or something
[02:17] <etmntONE> What day will Dapper be out? the first of June, or unannounced?
[02:17] <dooglus> cocox: lsb_release -d
[02:17] <NoobSauce> TiG4: you can use soundkonverter to convert sound files from a GUI
[02:17] <J_P> people, dapper has package to install easy XGL for that nice effects on gnome ?
[02:17] <rando1> cocox: im a little slow tonight :P
[02:18] <cocox> lsb_release -d wowww this is PRO
[02:18] <cocox> nice
[02:18] <lampshade> dooglus, that's a far out command
[02:18] <cafuego_> J_P: More or less, but since it's alpha software it won't be stable.
[02:18] <dooglus> lampshade: it is?
[02:18] <lampshade> [I had no idea that existed
[02:18] <cocox> thnx gusy randol, dooglus,lampshade,awesometaylor
[02:18] <dooglus> lampshade: try "cat /etc/lsb-release" too
[02:18] <LeeJunFan> anyone know how to edit a partitionlabel w/o destroying  - mkfs is the only way I know of at format time.
[02:19] <luigi> Can someone of you see the web tv (iptv) with ubuntu?
[02:19] <LeeJunFan> as in volume name.
[02:19] <rando1> atlast vmware is almost finished- maybe i can have my ram back now!
[02:19] <J_P> cafuego_: not problem... has or not ?
[02:19] <dooglus> LeeJunFan: yes, I've done it, using a 'hal' command of some kind
[02:19] <cafuego_> J_P: Some people claim it's made them have to reinstall.
[02:19] <dooglus> LeeJunFan: hal_set_property I guess

[02:20] <ubotu> My cat's name is Mittens! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, monsterb
[02:20] <LeeJunFan> dooglus: well it looks like tune2fs can do it too, but for vfat hal may be only way.
[02:20] <monsterb> !power
[02:20] <ubotu> monsterb: I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[02:20] <LeeJunFan> dooglus: thanks.
[02:20] <blazemonger> why is it alot of the icon themes in ubuntu dont work properly?
[02:20] <luigi> I need help to see the web tv (iptv)
[02:20] <KyoLptp`> is there an FLV player for linux?
[02:21] <KyoLptp`> sorry if someone answered it before, I was afk
[02:21] <dooglus> KyoLptp`: mplayer can play .flv files
[02:21] <KyoLptp`> is mplayer in ubuntu by default?
[02:21] <dooglus> KyoLptp`: no; get 'mplayer-nogui'
[02:22] <blazemonger> is it possible to compile apache in ubuntu?
[02:22] <rando1> w00t :) ubuntu running ontop of ubuntu :)
[02:22] <TiG4> dooglus, mencoder says "video stream is mandatory"
[02:22] <blazemonger> how fast is it rando1 ?
[02:22] <TiG4> dooglus, i pass it $mencode stream.dump
[02:22] <dooglus> blazemonger: yes.  "apt-get --build install apache" or something like that
[02:22] <rando1> blazemonger: you can compile anything as long as you have a compatible compiler and its dependencies
[02:23] <blazemonger> another probhlem i have in ubuntu is the mouse cursor changes colors often
[02:23] <dooglus> TiG4: I've never tried using mencoder, sorry.
[02:23] <lampshade> does --build just give you what the source?  Or the sources depends?
[02:23] <rando1> blazemonger: or you could do it the easy way like dooglus said :P
[02:23] <blazemonger> like to where i can't see it
[02:23] <TiG4> dooglus, no problem
[02:23] <pingveno> I just installed gcc, I'm getting a lot of problems with "blah has not been declared." What am I doing wrong?
[02:23] <dooglus> pingveno: you're probably missing some -dev packages.  use "sudo apt-get build-dep <package>" to get the -dev packages.
[02:24] <ircbrowser99> ok, now for extra credit, load os/2 warpp:1.0:niks:"%2D%2D%3E":"%2D%2D%3E" w00t :) ubuntu running ontop of ubuntu :)
[02:24] <dooglus> pingveno: install 'build-essential' too if you didn't already
[02:24] <pingveno> By "blah has not be declared", I mean that just including <iostream> sends out a bunch of messages.
[02:24] <pingveno> been*
[02:24] <ircbrowser99> wow, that got munged
[02:25] <dooglus> lampshade: --build downloads the source and builds it
[02:25] <pingveno> #include <iostream>
[02:25] <pingveno> int main(){}
[02:25] <ircbrowser99> extra credit, load os2 warp in a vm --> rando1: w00t :) ubuntu running ontop of ubuntu :)
[02:25] <J_P> cafuego: ok, do you remember what is package ?
[02:25] <pingveno> ircbrowser99: sounds like fun :)
[02:25] <blazemonger> anyone want to test the icon themes in gnome to make sure they work?
[02:25] <rando1> ircbrowser99: i dont believe ive ever had the pleasure of installing that on a normal box, let alone vmware :P
[02:26] <Jowi> ircbrowser99: I should still have a os/2 warp install cd laying around here somewhere.... best damn OS around at that time. getting sentimental :-/
[02:26] <rando1> brb- hamster wheel has fallen off of side of tank :/
[02:26] <dooglus> pingveno: are you using gcc to compile C++ code?  you should use g++ for that
[02:26] <whiter> is it possible to run mplayer without X server running?
[02:27] <dooglus> whiter: yes
[02:27] <merriam> I'm getting 404s with  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/dapper/flight-7/dapper-install-i386.jigdo  .  I assume it's not ready yet.
[02:27] <dooglus> whiter: I use it outside of X to play .mp3 files
[02:27] <nictuku> hi. I have two sound cards. How do I choose which one I gnome/esd will use by default? It used to have an application for choosing that, but I can't seem to find it (using Dapper).
[02:27] <ircbrowser99> Jowi -- yeah, i took it out to play and reminisce (sp?) -- can't find a box it will load on
[02:27] <monsterb> !powermanagement interface
[02:27] <ubotu> What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, monsterb
[02:27] <LeeJunFan> dooglus: hal only set's it temporarily though :/
[02:27] <pingveno> hmm
[02:27] <rando1> merriam: i d/l'd the iso earlier, but not that one
[02:27] <whiter> yea mp3 works but i mean video
[02:27] <monsterb> !powermanagement
[02:27] <ubotu> My cat's name is Mittens! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, monsterb
[02:27] <pingveno> no, I using g++
[02:27] <dooglus> LeeJunFan: oh, does it?  I wonder how I changed the labels permanently then?  My filesystems are reiserfs - maybe there's a reiserfs command I used
[02:27] <lampshade> pingveno, if you are still working int he same console, try just closing that console out and reopening, perhaps some enviorment variables need to be reset since your last install of gcc type stuff
[02:27] <njan> whiter, mplayer -vo aa:help
[02:28] <njan> damn, he left.
[02:28] <vapor> greetings ubuntions
[02:28] <pingveno> lampshade: k
[02:28] <rando1> hi vapor
[02:28] <merriam> rando1: yes, no problem with the plain iso of course.  just jigsaw/jigdo
[02:28] <vapor> how do you add drivers to ubuntu?
[02:28] <Jowi> ircbrowser99: i set it up on a 486-dx100 a couple of years ago. still sweeeeet. very snappy.
[02:28] <rando1> merriam: sorry i cant help there
[02:28] <pingveno> same
[02:28] <rando1> merriam: patience is a virtue!
[02:28] <lampshade> hrm
[02:28] <LeeJunFan> dooglus: yeah, I got the ext3 changed with tune2fs, going to see about msdosutils for the vfat.
[02:29] <ircbrowser99> Jowi -- lol. i only have it on 3.5in :( any chance you ever iso'd that cd?
[02:29] <lampshade> what are the messages that it prints out again?
[02:29] <alvaro__> hi im trying to play a dvd but i get an error message. It says: "The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypred DVD without libdvdcss?"
[02:29] <vapor> any one know a page reference for adding a driver to ubuntu?
[02:29] <sstchur> Ok, so I just installed dapper and everythign was going great.  then I ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and restarted, and now my wireless card has "disappeared"  (I'm on the internet now through the LiveCD).  ANy ideas?
[02:29] <dooglus> njan: I never knew about "mplayer -vo aa" before.  that's really funny.  :)
[02:29] <blazemonger> no one seems to know what's wrong with the icon themes in ubuntu gnome?
[02:29] <pingveno> I have both the g++ and g++-4.0 packages installed, could that be the problem?
[02:30] <njan> dooglus, it rocks :)
[02:30] <lampshade> I just tried with the basic #include <iostream> and then on a new line int main(){}  and it compiled fine for me
[02:30] <rando1> dooglus: is that the mplayer ASCII output?
[02:30] <dooglus> rando1: yes.
[02:30] <njan> rando1, yeah
[02:30] <_jason> blazemonger: why don't you tell us what you are experiencing?
[02:30] <dli> pingveno, "ls -l /usr/bin/g++*"
[02:30] <lampshade> pingveno, what are the errors?
[02:30] <blazemonger> when i select some of the icon themes in gnome the icons arent there
[02:30] <rando1> dooglus: yeah, we found that at work not long ago- for some reason we watched some french quiz show in it :S
[02:30] <_jason> blazemonger: what version of ubuntu?
[02:30] <blazemonger> breezy
[02:30] <dooglus> njan: can you get it to use the current terminal, instead of making a new window?  and can I set the font size to be smaller, for a higher-resolution ASCII image?
[02:30] <_jason> blazemonger: you have to be more specific.  What icon theme? what icons?
[02:30] <merriam> rando1: I'm saying it here so other people can find it by searching.
[02:31] <Jowi> ircbrowser99: might be os/2 warp 3 though. not 4 or later
[02:31] <vapor> Anyone know where the "adding hardware page for debian"?
[02:31] <blazemonger> try them all if you dont mind an youl see what im talking about
[02:31] <blazemonger> :)
[02:31] <_jason> blazemonger: I never noticed that on breezy
[02:31] <merriam> rando1: and there's probably a solution, which I'm looking up now, to save me from having to start again, using rsync.
[02:31] <ohay> does anyone know why in ubuntu xorg.conf doesn't have Modeline entries?
[02:31] <blazemonger> i guess most folks just use the ugly default
[02:31] <rando1> merriam: nps- but beyond me though :)
[02:32] <pingveno> oh, great, I think I just did something screwy with adept
[02:32] <whiter> okay i dont know where to notify people about this but...
[02:32] <_jason> blazemonger: have you check the icon theme's directory to see if it provides an icon for whatever is missing?
[02:32] <blazemonger> another bug i found out is the mouse cursor changes to all black colors
[02:32] <dli> ohay, use "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", not editing xorg.conf
[02:32] <blazemonger> what directory are the icon themes in?
[02:32] <njan> dooglus, I'm not sure about the former, but for the latter you'd have to do something with framebuffer and increase the resolution the console was operating at, I'd imagine
[02:32] <_jason> blazemonger: /usr/share/icons/
[02:32] <corey> is there a command to show bandwidth?
[02:32] <whiter> anyone realise that its very simple (locally) to take control of an ubuntu system? all you have to do is resart the computer and press F2 then go to recovery mode and it gives you root without even asking for a password
[02:32] <vapor> adding a nic and don't know how to add the driver. Any ideas?
[02:32] <vapor> adding a nic and don't know how to add the driver. Any ideas?
[02:32] <whiter> then you can add your own user and uninstall stuff and everything
[02:32] <merriam> rando1: I'm not expecting a solution here, since I have already searched the last 7 MiB of logs here.  I'm starting a solution for future reference.
[02:32] <njan> whiter, yes, this is why you set a grub password
[02:32] <ohay> dli: I tried using it, but I can't get resolutions higher than 640x480
[02:32] <dli> vapor, "sudo lspci", don't repeat here
[02:33] <_jason> blazemonger: note that there is a .theme file which will also tell the system what other icon themes to inherit from
[02:33] <ircbrowser99> Jowi -- yeah, i got 2.1 and 3.0 on 3.5in, the only box i think it might install to has a busted floppy. easy fix but low on the priority list
[02:33] <njan> whiter, if you have local access to a machine you have root anyway
[02:33] <whiter> njan
[02:33] <alvaro__> hi im trying to play a dvd but i get an error message. It says: "The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypred DVD without libdvdcss?"
[02:33] <dli> ohay, ask ubotu about resolution
[02:33] <whiter> how would you go about adding a grub password and why isnt that being set by default
[02:33] <dooglus> njan: I'm in a gnome-terminal, not the console.
[02:33] <_jason> ubotu: tell alvaro__ about dvd
[02:33] <pingveno> Wow, I do believe that I accidently uninstalled about half my system
[02:33] <dooglus> njan: and "mplayer -vo aa:help" doesn't show aa options, like the man page promises it will.
[02:33] <vapor> Thanks dli
[02:33] <dooglus> njan: does it for you?
[02:33] <ohay> ubotu: resolution
[02:33] <ubotu> [resolution]  at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[02:33] <blazemonger> another thing how can i prevent the mouse cursor from changing colors?
[02:33] <njan> Law #3: If a bad guy has unrestricted physical access to your computer, it's not your computer anymore <= whiter, it's the third immutable law of security. :)
[02:33] <njan> dooglus, it does for me.
[02:33] <dooglus> njan: could you do a pastebin of it for me pls?
[02:34] <njan> dooglus, http://pastebin.com/702806
[02:34] <njan> whiter, with most linux distros you can just hit 'e' at the grub prompt and boot into single user mode even if there isn't an option, so ubuntu isn't that much different.
[02:35] <vapor> dli: Does debian maintain a driver file list or is that going to have to be a mfg thing?
[02:35] <whiter> it needs to be :)
[02:35] <njan> whiter, needs to be?
[02:35] <whiter> nevermind
[02:36] <dooglus> njan: that's what I get.  it's nothing to do with 'aa' though, is it - it's generic mplayer help
[02:36] <whiter> njan would you happen to know the program that is run when you want ubuntu to launch something when a device is inserted
[02:36] <whiter> like an ipod or a camera
[02:36] <whiter> im using xfce so it isnt installed by default
[02:36] <dli> vapor, read debian hardware howto
[02:37] <rabbitear> greetings
[02:37] <vapor> thks
[02:37] <njan> dooglus, I hadn't even noticed that, I just pulled the command straight from the manpage 0:)
[02:37] <dli> vapor, most nic cards are supported
[02:37] <OetmetG> does anyone know of a good database designer for linux?
[02:38] <lampshade> database designer?  Like one that makes the database or just one to make nice drawings of one?
[02:38] <amphi> OetmetG: apt-cache does - there are web-based and GUI FEs for both postgres and mysql, I believe
[02:38] <dooglus> njan: I guess that's a bug that needs reporting - the program and the man page don't agree
[02:39] <OetmetG> lampshade: well I use one that draws tables and makes the database
[02:39] <OetmetG> but it's for windows
[02:39] <Jowi> OetmetG: I can make an icon for a database if you want :P
[02:39] <Marsmensch> found a solution thx to all
[02:39] <pingveno> Somehow, I just uninstalled almost my entire system, including apt. Is there any way to get it back that doesn't include a complete reinstallation?
[02:40] <kbrooks> pingveno: uh?
[02:40] <amphi> pingveno: heh
[02:40] <kbrooks> pingveno: you didnt?
[02:40] <amphi> pingveno: do you have dpkg still?
[02:40] <dmbt> can somone tell me what this is that keeps appearing in my logs:
[02:40] <dmbt> localhost curl gethostby*.getanswer: asked for "ethereal.net.nyud.net IN A", got type "39"
[02:40] <pingveno> yah
[02:40] <Jowi> pingveno: yes, you should be able to "dpkg -i aptblahblah.dev" from the cd
[02:40] <pingveno> Ah
[02:40] <Jowi> s/dev/deb
[02:40] <pingveno> That's at least somewhat of a relief
[02:41] <Jowi> pingveno: but my solution includes a grain of luck
[02:41] <kbrooks> read this. http://techdirt.com/articles/20060505/1743215.shtml
[02:41] <lampshade> how did you remove apt?
[02:41] <amphi> pingveno: you could get the apt .deb and install it with dpkg; you might have some dependency 'fun' depending on how b0rked your install is
[02:41] <pingveno> Maybe I should just reinstall...
[02:42] <dli> lampshade, genius
[02:42] <pingveno> I hate it when I screw up my computer, it's a little nasty to deal with :-P
[02:42] <njan> dooglus, indeed, yeah
[02:42] <whiter> anyone know what app handles the auto launching of programs when a device is plugged in?
[02:42] <lampshade> In the new gnome, can you have different desktop backgrounds for different desktops?
[02:42] <Jowi> pingveno: almost 100% agree with that. even worse if you do it yourself than when someone else do it for you.
[02:43] <lampshade> and by "new gnome" I mean the one with dapper, not with breezy
[02:43] <dooglus> njan: even better:  mplayer -vo caca <-- colour ascii art :)
[02:43] <lampshade> whatever difference that is
[02:43] <serp> how do I make full screen apps too appear on my right screen instead of on the left?
[02:43] <aeroshadow> how do you edit sources.list? it is read only.
[02:43] <monsterb> How do I control power management? Is there a gui ?
[02:43] <Jowi> lampshade: don't think so. gnome has gotten rid of virtual desktops and only have virtual windows now i think (read: not sure)
[02:43] <tristanmike> aeroshadow, "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:43] <tristanmike> "
[02:44] <roniez> hm.. why cant i run fluxbox? i choose it in the session options, but it says cant find "$home/roniez/.fluxbox/startup
[02:44] <awesometaylor> monsterb yes, its inthe preferences
[02:44] <roniez> but i know its there..
[02:44] <jimcooncat> after updating, gdm freezes on mouse movement. startx from root works ok. Is there news?
[02:44] <lampshade> that sucks if they did, I love the virtual desktop system
[02:44] <Jowi> monsterb: "sudo apt-get install gnome-power-manager"
[02:44] <aeroshadow> thank you
[02:44] <MrFeetio> hi
[02:44] <amphi> Jowi: what's a virtual window?
[02:45] <dooglus> lampshade: GNOME still has 4 desktops by default
[02:45] <monsterb> awasometaylor, Jowi,  thx
[02:46] <ohay> dli: is was able to fix the resolution problem but now I've got another problem. How do I set the refresh rate without editing xorg.conf?
[02:46] <monsterb> awesometaylor: thx
[02:46] <lampshade> far out.
[02:46] <Jowi> amphi: virtual window is like having a very big window (lets say your desktop resolution is 640x480. take that times four to have a very large window divided into 4 parts. each virtual desktop can have 4 virtual windows. see enlightenment for a great implementation)
[02:46] <TiG4> is there a GUI area that I can schedule CRON jobs
[02:46] <TiG4> ?
[02:46] <jimcooncat> I gotta real problem with gdm, is there someone who can help?
[02:47] <amphi> Jowi: oh, ok, you mean a viewport onto a larger virtual root window
[02:47] <Jowi> amphi: exactly
[02:47] <dmbt> jimcooncat: just ask
[02:47] <jimcooncat> after updating, gdm freezes on mouse movement. startx from root works ok. Is there news?
[02:47] <dooglus> jimcooncat: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bugs
[02:47] <ohay> dli: the thing simply sets itself , based on some configuration that's not transparent
[02:48] <Jowi> amphi: that is a virtual window. a setup with 4 virtual desktop can have 4 of those viewports.
[02:48] <rando1> right im off- laters guys. thanks for the advice :)
[02:48] <jimcooncat> dooglus, does that point to problems with today's breezy updates?
[02:48] <TiG4> is there a GUI area that I can schedule CRON jobs?
[02:48] <dooglus> jimcooncat: I don't see anything there yet - but you can report the bug you're seeing there.
[02:48] <amphi> Jowi: you mean multiple desktops, each larger than the physical display?
[02:48] <dooglus> jimcooncat: then it will...
[02:48] <Jowi> amphi: or however you want to set it up. 2 virtual desktops with each 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 virtual windows
[02:48] <njan> dooglus, that's pretty cool :)
[02:49] <jimcooncat> haven't really got enough info to be helpful
[02:49] <dooglus> njan: I reported the bug with the aa:help command
[02:49] <jimcooncat> just know it freezes
[02:49] <dooglus> jimcooncat: I've updated, and don't see the problem
[02:49] <amphi> Jowi: well, X does the virtual desktop bit itself - the 'multiple desktops' are just lists of windows to display
[02:49] <Jowi> amphi: each virtual desktop can have their own background. but a virtual window can only have the same backgorunp
[02:49] <dooglus> jimcooncat: otoh I don't think I've rebooted since updating
[02:49] <mszorady> is this the Ubuntu halp channel?
[02:49] <dooglus> mszorady: indeed
[02:49] <amphi> mszorady: it is
[02:49] <aeroshadow> could someone walk me through opening my repositories
[02:50] <jimcooncat> it happened after i rebooted
[02:50] <TiG4> -- How do i schedule a CRON job in Ubuntu? --
[02:50] <pingveno> That total reinstall is sounding really good right now...
[02:50] <Jowi> amphi: true, but gnome has gotten rid of that feature and only use the "viewport" as you said.
[02:50] <amphi> TiG4: man 5 crontab
[02:50] <mszorady> thanks.:)  Having a problem getting a higher rez on my monitor
[02:50] <amphi> TiG4: and man 1 crontab ;)
[02:50] <TiG4> amphi, is crontab graphical?
[02:50] <Sambo619> anyone got a second for an orinoco dilema?
[02:50] <amphi> Jowi: ah... now I'm even happier I don't use it
[02:50] <dooglus> jimcooncat: which version of gdm are you talking about?  there have been 2 updates in recent days
[02:50] <mszorady> could someone tell me what I may be doing wrong?
[02:50] <dooglus> 2.14.5-0ubuntu2
[02:50] <amphi> TiG4: crontab -e will use your editor
[02:51] <amphi> Jowi: I've never like the viewport thing
[02:51] <jimcooncat> I don't know, where do I find version, it must be the latest
[02:51] <TiG4> amphi, isnt there a built in scheduler in ubuntu (GUI)
[02:51] <dooglus> jimcooncat: you run "apt-cache policy gdm"
[02:51] <dad> i accidentally uninstalled something on my other ubuntu PC and now i dont have graphics...
[02:51] <amphi> TiG4: crontab syntax is simple - I have no idea about a GUI
[02:52] <dad> can someone help me get it back please?
[02:52] <Nameeater> the device fd0 is usually the floppy right?
[02:52] <amphi> dad: perhaps sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[02:52] <jimcooncat> dooglus, gdm: Installed: 2.8.0.5-0ubuntu1.1
[02:52] <Jowi> amphi: i use viewport and the "desktop" part as well. what i understand is that it saves memory by only remember window positions and "visible" values.
[02:52] <amphi> Nameeater: yeah, the first floppy device
[02:52] <TiG4> amphi, found one anyways. gnome-schedule
[02:52] <Nameeater> ok, thanks
[02:52] <amphi> TiG4: cool
[02:52] <TiG4> amphi, thnaks
[02:52] <dooglus> amphi: the problem with cron jobs is that you can't set something to run once-per-day properly.  if your PC is switched off at the appointed time, the job won't run when you do eventually switch it on.
[02:52] <Sambo619> could i possibly get someone to take a look at what i'm doing wrong patching my orinoco drivers? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=171510
[02:52] <ohay> ubotu: modeline
[02:52] <ubotu> ohay: My cat's name is Mittens! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[02:52] <dad> that should work amphi/
[02:52] <dooglus> jimcooncat: that's the current one, yes.
[02:53] <dooglus> jimcooncat: I'll try it and see if it happens for me too.
[02:53] <dad> ?*
[02:53] <amphi> dooglus: you want anachron for that, I believe
[02:53] <kingspawn> could use anacron to pick up all the jobs cron misses
[02:53] <jimcooncat> dooglus, good luck, I had to do a startx to get back here
[02:53] <dooglus> jimcooncat: oh, it locks up even if you don't touch the mouse?
[02:53] <dooglus> kingspawn: anacron is only for root I think
[02:54] <jimcooncat> I didn't try it
[02:54] <everton137> Hi, I just installed dapper Intall CD and everything were working fine. After add universe and multiverse on sources.list, I typed "apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade". Now sound is not working and I cannot play any movie using mplayer
[02:54] <jimcooncat> I had to boot to recovery mode
[02:54] <everton137> where do I begin?
[02:54] <dooglus> kingspawn: I ended up having to add a line to /etc/anacrontab saying "1               5       cron.daily.chris        nice su - chris -c "run-parts --report ~chris/cron.daily""

[02:55] <Dingo> hi there! how can I build GUI's with python like in visual basic?
[02:55] <hydrogen> Dingo: pyqt or pygtk, or pytoolkit
[02:55] <kingspawn> dooglus: that one is for debian, but I guess only minor modifications are needed
[02:55] <hydrogen> py<TOOLKIT> that is
[02:56] <Eroick> is it a really bad idea to run a wifi router without a WEP/WPA key?
[02:56] <zcat[1] > my wifi's wide open.
[02:56] <Jowi> Eroick: not if you use MAC filtering or similar
[02:56] <dooglus> Eroick: it depends whether you mind strangers being able to use your bandwidth and see what you're doing online
[02:56] <amphi> Eroick: not particularly, depends if you want to share ;) unless no one else is in range
[02:56] <zcat[1] > mac what?
[02:57] <Eroick> hey, you are right! I can just filter by MAC addr
[02:57] <amphi> zcat[1] : hardware address
[02:57] <Jowi> zcat[1] : each nic (network card) has got its own unique id number
[02:57] <zcat[1] > yeah.. mine's wide open.
[02:57] <dooglus> but you can set your mac address to be whatever you like.  it won't keep people out
[02:57] <dooglus> ifconfig has an option to specify your mac address
[02:57] <Jowi> dooglus: but its hard to brute force a mac number anyways. :)
[02:58] <zcat[1] > every now and then I check if anyone's been using it.. so far nobody's done so.
[02:58] <dooglus> Jowi: I just sniff packets to see which mac addresses are allowed.
[02:58] <Unit_> yay for trolling!
[02:58] <Jowi> dooglus: that's cheating ;)
[02:58] <Dingo> hydrogen: these are similar to VB right? you build the design then code.. is it?
[02:58] <dooglus> Jowi: right, but it's easily done
[02:58] <hydrogen> no idea
[02:58] <hydrogen> never used them :)
[02:58] <chinoke> hello, i have to make a presentation of how to install ubuntu at uni and i need a screenshots during the installation
[02:58] <zcat[1] > I figure if anyone starts using my bandwidth I'll deal with it then.
[02:58] <RandolphCarter> they're nothing like VB at all
[02:58] <chinoke> from where can i get them
[02:59] <Unit_> OHMY GOAT betty look at her but... it is sooo big....
[02:59] <Jowi> Eroick: you can also use a lower signal so it wont reach further than your appartment walls :)
[02:59] <vilkacis> I'm having a problem with my MP3's playing staticy.
[02:59] <kingspawn> zcat[1] : not exactly the smartest plan you've deviced.

[02:59] <mszorady> anyone know how I can get a higher rez?
[02:59] <zcat[1] > why?
[02:59] <kingspawn> zcat[1] : you'll find out when some clever monkey starts ddosing NASA through your network
[02:59] <kingspawn> ;)
[02:59] <Jowi> !tell mszorady about resolution
[02:59] <RandolphCarter> no graphical editor, you setup you components in code then pack them onto a form :) you _can_ use glade, which is gtk/gtk2 only, but the wrappers are kinda complex
[02:59] <kingspawn> (for a far fetched example)
[03:00] <chris86wm> hey guys, could someone please point me to a guide that will help me set up my 5g ipod on my ubuntu install?
[03:00] <zcat[1] > with a 128k upstream? yeah, whatever
[03:00] <Jowi> !tell chris86wm about ipod
[03:01] <asdf25> anyone know what extra stuff i should have to install to be able to see CPU temperature?
[03:01] <vilkacis> Is there possibly a reason why my MP3's are playing slightly staticy and hollow-sounding?
[03:01] <chris86wm> Jowi, thank you
[03:02] <Jowi> vilkacis: shouldn't. maybe your soundcard is not set up properly (or there is a driver bug)
[03:02] <wowoku> #ubuntu-desktop
[03:03] <mszorady> ahhh finally figured out the tabed screens here!  thank you Jowi and ubotu!!
[03:03] <wowoku> #ubuntu-desktop
[03:03] <wowoku> who can tell me how i can go to the room for chinese
[03:04] <nmhbm> I just installed ubuntu and I didn't set any root password but now I can not get access to root
[03:04] <nmhbm> help
[03:04] <cello_rasp> go to term
[03:04] <cello_rasp> adduser root
[03:04] <wowoku> ubugtu: can you tell me how i can go to the room for chinese
[03:05] <TiG4> -- How would I go about creating my own .deb file and submitting it to the repository as a maintainer? --
[03:05] <vilkacis> Jowi: Any way of checking that or setting it up properly? It's an onboard sound card in one of those odd VIA motherboards.
[03:05] <nmhbm> cello_rasp, only root can adduser :P
[03:05] <TiG4> --Creating it from source --
[03:05] <lampshade> is there a way to make the location bar stay put and not dissapear in gnnome?
[03:05] <lampshade> like when you press ctrl+l it shows up
[03:05] <nmhbm> cello_rasp, but go to term, what you mean?
[03:05] <lampshade> but is there a way to always have it stay?
[03:05] <cello_rasp> go to the terminal
[03:05] <mcsteels> #gentoo
[03:05] <nmhbm> cello_rasp, how do I do that
[03:05] <wowoku> mnhbm: can you tell me how i can go to the room for chinese
[03:06] <Jowi> vilkacis: i got an odd via board as well. ac97 should do it
[03:06] <Jowi> vilkacis: which via board?
[03:06] <cello_rasp> nmhbm: ctrl+alt+F1-F6 . i understand that root password would be blank, no? . also i remember doing sudo adduser
[03:07] <vilkacis> Jowi: I'm checking, give me a minute to verify.
[03:07] <TiG4> -- How would I go about creating my own .deb file from source and submitting it to the repository as a maintainer? --
[03:07] <nmhbm> cello_rasp It's not blank.
[03:08] <Dingo> pygtk comes bundled in ubuntu or I have to install it?
[03:08] <vilkacis> Jowi: VIA EPIA Nehemiah M1000, if I recall correctly.
[03:08] <Sambo619> i'm having a problem patching orinoco drivers in ubuntu, i have a forum topic thats getting no love at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=171510 which explains all
[03:08] <Jowi> vilkacis: you're in luck. got the same board.
[03:09] <Jowi> vilkacis: running breezy or dapper?
[03:09] <vilkacis> Jowi: I just installed everything with whatever default setting it told me to.
[03:09] <kbrooks> Dingo: in... i think.
[03:09] <vilkacis> Jowi: Breezy, just recently. I re-installed.
[03:09] <Dingo> kbrooks: well then I can't find it :P
[03:09] <vilkacis> Jowi: I did not know Dapper was available. I'm really quite new at this, I only wish I knew more.
[03:10] <nmhbm> cello_rasp, it just says incorrect passowrd
[03:10] <nmhbm> but I didn't set a password
[03:10] <cello_rasp> nmhbm: i don't believe there is a root account set up when you install ubuntu
[03:10] <Flannel> vilkacis: it's still in beta (dapper).
[03:10] <roniez> bah, why cant i get transparency in aterm with in fluxbox feels like its not reading .Xdefaults
[03:10] <kbrooks> Dingo: python
[03:10] <Flannel> !tell nmhbm about root
[03:10] <kbrooks> Dingo: >>> import pygtk
[03:11] <Code_Dark> just making sure, but the x86 live cd will /work/ on AMD64 machines, it just won't include the 64 bit functionality, correct?
[03:11] <Jowi> vilkacis: dapper is the new beta version of the upcoming ubuntu. it supports the M10000 board quite well, with accelerated 3d and everything out ot the box. i wrote a wiki for 3d on breezy on the epia m10k though if you need it.
[03:11] <nmhbm> cello_rasp, well how am I supose to set one up, it says only root can addusers whenn I try to on my account
[03:11] <aeroshadow> how do you delete backup files?
[03:11] <cello_rasp> nmhbm: everything you need to do with root permission can be done by giving the user password
[03:11] <kbrooks> Jowi: um
[03:11] <nmhbm> okay
[03:11] <kbrooks> Jowi: dont be incorrect
[03:11] <Dingo> kbrooks: yes but where's the GUI builder?
[03:11] <Jowi> kbrooks: ?
[03:11] <kbrooks> Jowi: dapper is NOT the new beta version of the upcoming ubuntu
[03:11] <whiter> anyone know what program handles auto launching when a device is plugged in?
[03:11] <vilkacis> Jowi: How easy would it be to install it? Would I have to repartition the drive again, or can I install it over Breezy?
[03:12] <kbrooks> Jowi: dapper *beta*
[03:12] <kbrooks> vilkacis:
[03:12] <lampshade> way to knitpick
[03:12] <kbrooks> !upgrade
[03:12] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade. Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades .
[03:12] <kbrooks> vilkacis: see above
[03:12] <Jowi> kbrooks: yeah, slight word slipup. but close enough :)
[03:12] <vilkacis> Jowi: Or do I need it? Can I get this to work via breezy alone?
[03:12] <kbrooks> lampshade: nitpick*
[03:12] <roniez> how can i get a transparent aterm in flux box?
[03:13] <vilkacis> Also, what is the difference between Kubuntu and Ubuntu? I installed Kubuntu as well and passwords stopped working after a while.
[03:13] <lampshade> kbrooks, I hate you
[03:13] <cello_rasp> roniez: i dont think anyone in here uses fluxbox.. it's rare for ubuntu users
[03:13] <kbrooks> vilkacis: um,
[03:13] <kbrooks> !kubuntu
[03:13] <_jason> vilkacis: kubuntu uses kde, ubuntu uses gnome (by default)
[03:13] <ubotu> kubuntu is, like, Ubuntu+KDE (not a fork) ; see http://kubuntu.org and you can go to #kubuntu for KDE-related help, or install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop; ISOs: http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/breezy/
[03:13] <Jowi> vilkacis: you can get it to work with breezy. no probs. you need this module for sound: "sudo insmod snd_via82xx"
[03:13] <vilkacis> Jowi: I have it working, just not well. Let me try that.
[03:14] <ircbrowser99> vilkacis: Kubuntu has kde instead of gnome iirc -- see descriptions on distrowatch.com
[03:14] <Tylerofl> i'm sure you guys always get people come in asking stupid questions, but i was told that this community is relatively friendly, so...
[03:14] <Pluk> pfff scripting is a pain
[03:14] <serp> when apps go fullscreen they use the left monitor. i want them to use the right monitor
[03:14] <vilkacis> Jowi: insmod: can't read 'snd_via82xx': No such file or directory
[03:14] <serp> how do I change this?
[03:14] <kbrooks> ubotu: kubuntu =~ s/(not a fork)//
[03:14] <ubotu> kbrooks: OK
[03:14] <cello_rasp> Tylerofl: sure.. just don't push it! ;)
[03:15] <Tylerofl> how do you use a .run file?
[03:15] <Jowi> vilkacis: cat /proc/asound/modules
[03:15] <mythica> could someone help me with setting up my tv out ?
[03:15] <_jason> Tylerofl: generally you execute it, but what is it a .run of?
[03:15] <roniez> cello_rasp: yea it was kind out of reach...
[03:15] <mythica>  Its working
[03:15] <mythica> but not when X starts
[03:15] <mythica> I have been fiddling with the xorg.conf for hours, but not really getting anywhere
[03:15] <mythica>  basically chopped out most of the sections from this guys xorg.conf:
[03:15] <Tylerofl> i double clicked on it and an error message came up saying that it could not automatically detect the character coding
[03:15] <mythica> http://wiki.arslinux.com/TV-out_for_your_NVidia-card
[03:15] <vilkacis> Jowi: 0 snd_via82xx
[03:16] <dooglus> I just rebooted dapper after updating.  gdm is fine, but now I can't get online at all :(
[03:16] <Jowi> vilkacis: perfect. already loaded
[03:16] <vilkacis> Jowi: So I already have optimal drivers?
[03:16] <Jowi> vilkacis: save this file in your home directory as ".asoundrc": http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13529
[03:17] <Tylerofl> _jason it is a .run of nvidia display drivers
[03:17] <NoobSauce> can someone with an AMD processor check out how many bogomips you are getting? to do that, type cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep bogo
[03:17] <samuel> !mirrors
[03:17] <ubotu> methinks mirrors is repository mirrors can be found through http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[03:17] <_jason> ubotu: tell Tylerofl about nvidia
[03:17] <nmhbm> it says I should use the sudo command and I did, and it asked for password and I wrote my password but it didn't take it
[03:17] <_jason> Tylerofl: it is better (and easier) if you follow the wiki instructions that I just had ubotu send you
[03:18] <cello_rasp> NoobSauce: 3301.37 what do it mean???
[03:18] <NoobSauce> I have an AMD X2 3800+ and I'm getting 2000 bogomips... I realize that bogomips are not really a complete benchmark, but I should be getting double that... is there a problem with my kernel or something maybe?
[03:18] <samuel> what type of bot is ubotu?
[03:18] <vilkacis> Jowi: Done.
[03:18] <Tylerofl> hey, that's a pretty cool bot
[03:18] <samuel> does it come in a package?
[03:18] <_jason> samuel: blootbot
[03:18] <samuel> _jason, thx
[03:18] <cello_rasp> NoobSauce: that's on an amd 2k+
[03:18] <Tylerofl> _jason: thanks
[03:19] <NoobSauce> cello_rasp: bogomips are sort of this vague benchmark for how fast your processor is
[03:19] <_jason> samuel, Tylerofl: np
[03:19] <Jowi> vilkacis: after that is done, we need to get rid of esd. "killall esd" in a terminal. after that, go to (sorry i don't use gnome and have difficulties remebering the menues) system->prefs-> multimediasomething. chose ALSA as output and src sink. log in and out and you should be done.
[03:19] <cello_rasp> bobo million instructs per second
[03:19] <SecareLupus> anyone know any good DVD authoring tools?
[03:19] <slackern> NoobSauce: 4613.69 on amd athlon xp-m at 2.3GHz
[03:19] <Jowi> vilkacis: oh yeah, and you have to disable the sound startup as well
[03:19] <NoobSauce> cello_rasp: yeah, something to that effect
[03:19] <samuel> :)
[03:19] <voraistos> i have 3194 with amd 1600+
[03:20] <Jowi> vilkacis: system-> prefs-> sound. and disable sound startup service (or something similar)
[03:20] <NoobSauce> slackern: do you have any idea why mine would be so low? I mean, 2000 is like REALLY low. I'd expect double or even triple that
[03:20] <siimo> hi can anyone tell me how to determine what is my hard drive when im on a live CD?  e.g. if its hda1 or hdb1 or something?  there is only one drive with one windows partition on this computer
[03:20] <whiter> argh
[03:20] <vilkacis> Jowi: Er, give me a minute to get that all down..
[03:20] <whiter> anyone know what app controls the auto launcing of stuff ?
[03:20] <siimo> im using 5.04 live cd
[03:20] <whiter> like say when i plug in a digital camera gthumb pops up... what makes that happen?
[03:20] <siimo> whiter, gnome-volume-manager
[03:20] <slackern> NoobSauce: Seems really strange, but that is per core on the processor too isnt it?
[03:20] <cello_rasp> whiter: system>prefernces>sessions will do it as well
[03:21] <cello_rasp> oh my bad
[03:21] <NoobSauce> slackern: yeah, it's dual core with 2001 bogomips per core
[03:21] <voraistos> hey, i was feeling about abandonning skype, since all what it can do is looking bad and be slow, and... [...] , what is a good replacement ?
[03:21] <vilkacis> Jowi: Will I want to re-enable sound-server startup when I log back in?
[03:21] <slackern> NoobSauce: feels a bit low nontheless, since mine's just around 3200+
[03:21] <siimo> whiter, goto desktop preferences menu and in there one of them wth a silver CD icon forget what its called you can set it up in that one
[03:22] <Jowi> vilkacis: nope. disable it totally. esd (enlightenment sound deamon) you don't want. you want ALSA all the way
[03:22] <whiter> siimo im not using ubuntu
[03:22] <whiter> well im not using gnome
[03:22] <whiter> :)
[03:22] <whiter> im using xubuntu
[03:23] <Jowi> vilkacis: the .asoundrc file we set up earlier will do the mixing for us instead of the sound-daemon
[03:23] <voraistos> im using dapper ;)
[03:23] <whiter> so am i
[03:23] <voraistos> ubuntu rules this world
[03:23] <slackern> NoobSauce: To be honest i have no idea right now, i was playing a bit on a A64 system a week ago or so when installing it on a friends system and it felt slower than what mine did for some reason and he has a A64 3500+ and more goodies than i have.
[03:23] <ITSa341> dapper rocks
[03:23] <NoobSauce> slackern: I've never even heard of it being so low on any processor. I mean maybe for like a 4 year old PIII or something, but for a pretty new X2 3800+?! it's ridiculous...
[03:23] <vilkacis> Jowi: I can change the output to ALSA, but I don't know what a sink is and the 'alsasink' in 'pipeline' is greyed out.
[03:23] <Sambo619> i'm having a problem patching orinoco drivers in ubuntu, hunks 1 and 11 wont insert into orinoco.c can someone give me some isight pleases?
[03:24] <slackern> NoobSauce: Are you running 32-bit install too?
[03:24] <NoobSauce> slackern yeah, I'm running the k7 kernel now
[03:24] <voraistos> skype replacement, please ?
[03:24] <AlmtyBob> anything special I should know before installing MythTV on a fresh Ubuntu install?
[03:24] <Jowi> vilkacis: output = output sink. just set it to alsa and you will be ok
[03:24] <NoobSauce> slackern: it shouldn't make that much of a difference though right? I mean it should be reasonably optimized for 32-bit apps... right?
[03:25] <slackern> NoobSauce: hmm i can't understand why they don't have a -k8 kernel for 32-bit also, since if you run with the -k7 you will miss out on SSE2/SSE3 and what else the -k8 has to offer.
[03:25] <vilkacis> OK, I'm going to log in and out and see how it works.
[03:25] <nmhbm> i got root permission, so i have this problem with my graphic card, wrote edit /etc/x11/xorg.conf to change from ati to vesa

[03:28] <nmhbm> help me now

[03:30] <qweej> wastrel dunno
[03:30] <HellDragon> slackern,
[03:30] <Jowi> vilkacis: make sure your volume levels are not at 100%. 60-70% on master and PCM should be more than enough.
[03:30] <nmhbm> i got root permission, so i have this problem with my graphic card, wrote edit /etc/x11/xorg.conf to change from ati to vesa, but it says i have no access, please help me
[03:30] <dli> wowoku, yes, unix101, "man foo", if you don't know man, then, "man man"
[03:30] <wowoku> dli : i dont unstand
[03:30] <vilkacis> Jowi: OH yeah! That's MUCH better.
[03:31] <dad> anyone help me plz?
[03:31] <Jowi> brilliant vilkacis :)
[03:31] <dli> wowoku, what do you want to do? in details
[03:31] <roo_> nmhbm, put 'sudo' in front of the command.
[03:31] <wowoku> dli : What manual page do you want?
[03:31] <vilkacis> Jowi: Yeah, that's about where I have them. I have a volume knob on my speakers that I use for adjustments anyway.
[03:31] <slackern> NoobSauce: Hmm that looks like it's using SSE2 and such atleast. here is mine to compare http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13531
[03:31] <vilkacis> Jowi: Thank you! This is much better.
[03:31] <jtd_> can I get some help configuring Postfix to work for sending mail from Thunderbird?  it keeps asking for my password over and over.  there are some error messages in my /var/log/mail.info about SASL authentication failing.
[03:31] <wowoku> dli : do you know QQ
[03:31] <nmhbm> roo_, I tried that too
[03:31] <HellDragon> its me,super mario
[03:31] <dli> wowoku, no, I stay away from Chinese software for good
[03:32] <NoobSauce> slackern: I can't access that page for some reason...
[03:32] <Jowi> vilkacis: for more advance troubleshooting so you can play quake2 or 3d games, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ViaEpiaDriHowto (i wrote that one but you must compile your own kernel to get it to work in breezy, in dapper 3d work)
[03:32] <NoobSauce> dad: what is your question?
[03:32] <nmhbm> roo_, but i shouldn't have to do that in the first place using root
[03:32] <NoobSauce> slackern: are you running k7 or k8?
[03:32] <dli> wowoku, qq is well known to spread spywares with it
[03:32] <roo_> nmhbm, wait, are you logged in as root?
[03:32] <nmhbm> roo_, yes
[03:32] <dad> my graphics got uninstalled
[03:32] <wowoku> yes
[03:32] <dss2> Hello, how do I change the Ubuntu root password?
[03:32] <dad> so it boots up in text, how do i fix it?
[03:33] <wowoku> dli : yes
[03:33] <nmhbm> roo_, I tried without root but same result

[03:33] <dli> wowoku, also, qq is not free software, debian is not able to ship it
[03:33] <roo_> dss2, sorry, sudo passwd root
[03:33] <roo_> nmhbm, why? its generally a bad idea, log in as a user and sudo..
[03:33] <NoobSauce> dad: nvidia drivers? how did you install them?
[03:33] <dad> i think thats what amphi said
[03:33] <wowoku> dli : but in china may be everyone use qq
[03:33] <nmhbm> roo_, well anyways it doesn't work :/
[03:33] <slackern> NoobSauce: that's output from 'uname -a' i should perhaps mention.
[03:33] <roo_> nmhbm, whats is ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[03:33] <wowoku> dli : it's free software
[03:33] <dss2> roo_: Don't I need to be logged in as root to do that?
[03:33] <roo_> dss2, nope.
[03:34] <dli> wowoku, yes, 90%+ computers in china bears spywares, I don't want to join
[03:34] <dad> not like when u run live, it boots up with graphics, not text, and it used to run like that from basic install, but i uninstaled some things and i guess i uninstalled the graphics
[03:34] <nmhbm> roo_, I read on wiki that there are some problem with ati graphic cards that are easy fixed, just run that and change 'ati' to 'vesa'
[03:34] <dss2> Thanks
[03:34] <dad> no*
[03:34] <NoobSauce> slackern: yeah, that's exactly the same as mine with the only exception that my hostname is cayenne

[03:34] <roo_> nmhbm, ok but it seems your xorg.conf has some permission problems if you cant save the file under sudo.
[03:35] <NoobSauce> dad: you're running it off a liveCD? In that case, I have no experience with that...
[03:35] <roo_> nmhbm, please post output of 'ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf'

[03:35] <terribleCabbage> Hello. I'm installing Ubuntu on the same partition as a Red Hat 9 install (everything on one partition). If I, say, remove all except for /home, and move /home to /home_rh9 (or something), will the Ubuntu installer delete that directory when installing? :S
[03:35] <trnc> apt-get install build-essential says it needs libc6-dev as a dependancy what do i do?
[03:35] <vilkacis> Jowi: I hear they have a few problem in Linux, just due to setting them up a little. I bought it a long time ago, served me great until I upgraded to my current system.
[03:35] <terribleCabbage> remove all directories*
[03:35] <vilkacis> Jowi: What is Neverputt? I may have seen it.
[03:35] <dad> no im running it off the install
[03:35] <_jason> trnc: let it install the dependencies
[03:35] <roo_> terribleCabbage, installing two distros on one partition? how can you do that..? :/
[03:35] <Jowi> vilkacis: it is included in the "neverball" package. like 3d minigolf
[03:36] <dli> wowoku, do you mean x11-libs/evas from http://www.enlightenment.org/ ?
[03:36] <dad> but the graphics are there if i run from livce

[03:36] <terribleCabbage> roo_: When I install Ubuntu, is there any way of having it not wipe out the /home that's there?
[03:36] <_jason> trnc: can you put the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list as well as the full output of your command on pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and then give us a url to your post please?
[03:37] <NoobSauce> dad: are you using an nvidia card?

[03:37] <roo_> terribleCabbage, you'll need to copy it somewhere safe (cd/dvd/another partition).
[03:37] <terribleCabbage> roo_: (I set it up three years ago when I was a newbie.)
[03:37] <dad> its an old ibm i donno what it is
[03:37] <trnc> ok jason it'll take a while as i have no web connection this is a windows machine
[03:37] <roo_> terribleCabbage, how big is /home.... ? :o
[03:37] <Jowi> vilkacis: make sure "esd" is not running. "killall esd" should be wiped out on the next boot
[03:37] <terribleCabbage> Big. 150GB? :\
[03:37] <wastrel> bah
[03:38] <dli> wowoku, find whether it's shipped with ubuntu
[03:38] <vilkacis> Jowi: 64kbs may have something to do with it. It's the only song that's playing poorly.
[03:38] <roo_> terribleCabbage, toughie.. im not 100% sure, but ive never come across a solution for you. sorry..
[03:38] <Jowi> vilkacis: hehe, might be :)
[03:38] <vilkacis> Jowi: No process killed. I don't think it's on.
[03:38] <Sambo619> if anyone knows how to patch drivers please pm me, i can't quite get my orinoco drivers patched.
[03:38] <mustard5> terribleCabbage, shrink the partition and create a new partition for storing the old home?
[03:39] <Jowi> vilkacis: esd = epia board black death
[03:39] <NoobSauce> slackern: yeah, this other guy is getting a total of 9413 with the same processor.. almost triple mine :( Is it possible that there are powersave features enabled that enable frequency stepping? How would I figure out and/or disable it?
[03:39] <Jowi> vilkacis: getting late/early here. gonna log off. enjoy your mp3s
[03:39] <mustard5> terribleCabbage, thats a pretty huge /home folder :)
[03:39] <AlmtyBob> can I use fdisk to make a JFS partition?
[03:40] <dli> wowoku, no, it's not shipped with ubuntu, you can still install it (I suggest not to), untar the tar ball, cd to the folder, follow the INSTALL file
[03:40] <jtd_> can I get some help configuring Postfix to work for sending mail from Thunderbird?  it keeps asking for my password over and over.  there are some error messages in my /var/log/mail.info about SASL authentication failing.
[03:40] <NoobSauce> dad: is it a laptop? If so, I do have experience with T23's... I'm quite new to linux myself though, it's only been like 3 weeks since I started playing with it so sorry if I'm not more help...
[03:40] <sethk> jtd_, you want to use sasl authentication for mail?
[03:41] <vilkacis> Jowi: Thank you again for the help.
[03:41] <Jowi> np vilkacis
[03:41] <wowoku> dli : ok
[03:41] <ircbrowser99> qweej: ftp server -- i'm trying "sudo apt-get install ftpd", will see what that does
[03:41] <jtd_> sethk: I just followed the wiki.  I actually don't want to use any crazy authentication or super encryption, but I have no idea how to configure it otherwise.
[03:41] <dad> ok, so can anyone tell me how to reinstall my graphics?
[03:41] <slackern> NoobSauce: sorry, cooking some soup so a little afk :)
[03:41] <dad> so its not only in text?
[03:42] <jtd_> I can't tell what bits of this are only crypt and what parts are necessary for function.
[03:42] <dli> wowoku, for .tar.bz2, you may use "tar zxvf foo.tar.bz2" to untar, just in case
[03:42] <sethk> jtd_, the default for postfix should be ordinary password authentication.  First thing I would do is check the postfix configuration and see what it is expecting as far as passwords.  I use the webmin plugin for postfix, it is quite good for a web interface to the postfix server
[03:42] <_jason> dli: typo in there, should be j, not z, right?
[03:43] <voraistos> damn. synaptics just crashed while i was installing new kernel. looks bad to me
[03:43] <jtd_> sethk: the funny thing is it works for IMAP but not for sending email.
[03:43] <dli> _jason, thanks a lot for pointing out that
[03:43] <wowoku> dli : sudo apt-get tar  /home/wowoku/Desktop/eva-0.4.1.tar.bz2
[03:43] <wowoku>    wrgiht
[03:43] <dli> wowoku, as _jason corrected, it's "tar jxvf"
[03:44] <dli> wowoku, no, no deed to sudo for untar
[03:44] <trondk> how can u boot that ubuntu i got on my hardrive by using my ubuntu cd?
[03:44] <Sambo619> help! anyone who can help me figure out why my orinoco drivers aren't patching, please please please! i'm pulling my hair out
[03:44] <roo_> trondk, has your bootloader stopped working?
[03:44] <dad> should just sudo atp-get installl work?
[03:44] <trondk> roo_: yes
[03:44] <trondk> i getting "Boot error" message
[03:44] <billytwowilly> hi, with some kde apps (like konqueror) and with azureus I can't click on some stuff in dapper. ie. when azureus pops up an error I mouse over the "hide" button, which shows it is selected, but it won't click.
[03:44] <billytwowilly> how do I fix this?
[03:44] <roo_> trondk, which bootloader are you using (grub or lilo?)
[03:45] <trondk> lilo
[03:45] <cocox> hello there
[03:45] <dad> hi
[03:45] <billytwowilly> fark, wrong chan..
[03:45] <roo_> billytwowilly, try #ubuntu+1
[03:45] <wowoku> dli : wowoku@ubuntu:~$  tar jxv  /home/wowoku/Desktop/eva-0.4.1.tar.bz2
[03:45] <NoobSauce> dad: OH. you hosed X, not the drivers... I'll try to find a fix for you
[03:45] <roo_> billytwowilly, :)
[03:45] <cocox> somebody knows how can i do to know if i have edubuntu or kubuntu ???
[03:45] <dad> ok ty
[03:45] <wowoku> dli :right
[03:45] <jtd_> sethk: I disabled SASL authentication and now it tells me "relay access denied"
[03:45] <jtd_> when I try to email my yahoo.com account.
[03:45] <wowoku> dli :but nothing happend
[03:45] <dli> wowoku, tar jxvf
[03:45] <roo_> trondk, sorry i dont know lilo that well, only grub. try googling for 'reinstall lilo' instructions?
[03:46] <roniez> How can i mount something from a smb share that dont have a password?
[03:46] <trondk> i was getting the same error when i was using grub to.
[03:46] <trondk> can it have something with i have ubuntu on /dev/sdc ?
[03:46] <roo_> trondk, when did the error start? did they ever work?
[03:46] <trondk> i was installing my ubunbu today
[03:46] <ircbrowser99> roniez -- i saw in one of the man pages to just hit enter for a null password, try that
[03:47] <dli> wowoku, evaq claims to be under GPL license, but the fact it's not shipped by debian looks suspicious to me
[03:47] <roo_> #otw
[03:47] <NoobSauce> does anyone here know how to reinstall Xorg? dad wants to know the command
[03:47] <Eroick> hmm, i am so close to getting on wireless. everything is set, but dhclient fails! any ideas?
[03:47] <cocox> somebody knows how can i do to know if i have edubuntu or kubuntu ???
[03:47] <wowoku> dli :another problem
[03:48] <NoobSauce> dad: do you have much data on there? it might be better just to reinstall ubuntu altogether
[03:48] <sethk> jtd_, you have to give it a list of either machines or networks allowed to send using that mail server
[03:48] <wowoku> dli :wowoku@ubuntu:~$  tar jxv  /home/wowoku/Desktop/eva-0.4.1.tar.bz2

[03:48] <_d4vid> http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/1009/
[03:48] <_d4vid> can anyone help me ?
[03:48] <_d4vid> i use dapper
[03:48] <dli> wowoku, tar jxvf
[03:48] <inc|freaky> hi all, can someone help me? im trying to set up samba on my home server .. (no gui) ... but everytime i try to log in, it just tells me the login or pass is incorrect, even i added an account using smbpasswd ... the user also has a shell ..., can someone help me?
[03:48] <sethk> jtd_, because of email relaying problems, the default configurations for all the mail servers disallow mail from any machine other than the host on which the server is running
[03:48] <_d4vid> http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/1009/ my error
[03:48] <NoobSauce> cocox there is not much difference between edubuntu/kubuntu/ubuntu. It's just a difference in packages. If you're running kde, you're using kubuntu, and edubuntu just has some added educational packages
[03:48] <sethk> jtd_, usually you just need to tell it to allow mail sending from the same subnet as the server runs on.
[03:48] <Graig> hello, how do you make mouse cursor themes?
[03:49] <jtd_> sethk: well, I want it to allow mail sending from the whole internet, but authenticate with a username and password.
[03:49] <dad> id rather not do that
[03:49] <trondk> but when i was using slackware, i could use my cd to boot slackware
[03:49] <cocox> NoobSauce, im over Gnome.... if for kde is Kubuntu.... what is for Gnome ???
[03:49] <wastrel> inkscape is nicer than xfig :] 
[03:50] <sethk> jtd_, then you'll have to set the config to allow sending from anywhere.  doing that without using password encryption is not usually a good idea
[03:50] <NoobSauce> dad: sorry, I wish I knew how to do it. I've hosed my X server many time trying to set up Xgl/Compiz. It was almost always quicker just to do a fresh reinstall... So back up your data and reinstall away :)
[03:50] <jtd_> what about just doing it with SSL rather than TLS?
[03:50] <wowoku> dli :and then do what?
[03:51] <ircbrowser99> qweej: looks like that installed but did not start in.ftpd. check man in.ftpd see if that's good for your needs
[03:51] <mustard5> dad, what is actually occuring ?
[03:51] <dli> wowoku, cd to the folder generated, read INSTALL there
[03:51] <dli> wowoku, as I said, stay away from Chinese software
[03:51] <dad> it boots up in text
[03:51] <matgates> Does anyone know a good tutorial for making .debs?
[03:51] <nomasteryoda> wastrel, so true... over on #ubuntu-offtopic see my link
[03:51] <dad> i want the graphics or w.e back
[03:51] <sethk> jtd_, that's fine, any password encryption method is acceptable
[03:51] <dad> i think i uninstalled something
[03:51] <dli> matgates, there's a simple (or naive) way, checkinstall
[03:51] <dad> well, i know i did, but i think i took something i didn't want to
[03:52] <matgates> It's a very simple one... just a document in PDF format.
[03:52] <mustard5> dad, can you recall from your command line history file what you did?
[03:52] <sethk> jtd_, well, any of the standard methods are acceptable, and ssl is certainly an acceptable way to do it.
[03:52] <mustard5> dad, thats assuming you used the command line to do it
[03:52] <dad> ummmm what?
[03:53] <wowoku> dli : i'm sorry i am a chinese
[03:53] <dad> i was using the package manager
[03:53] <dad> and im on a diff comp right now
[03:53] <wowoku> dli : so i must use it
[03:53] <mustard5> dad, ah ok
[03:53] <cocox> im over Gnome.... if for kde is Kubuntu.... what is for Gnome ???
[03:53] <dli> wowoku, I'm Chinese too, but just stay away from spywares
[03:53] <mustard5> dad, so what were you removing?
[03:53] <jtd_> sethk: do you know how to do this, or where to find a guide for it?  the Ubuntu wiki uses only TLS and is very paranoid about using encryption
[03:53] <matgates> cocox: Just ubuntu
[03:53] <jtd_> the problem is I have email software that can't use TLs.
[03:53] <jtd_> TLS.
[03:54] <wowoku> dli : 
[03:54] <inc|freaky> lol i even see those chinese signs
[03:54] <mneten> i just installed ubuntu on a old pc i have sitting around, and i'm getting a GRUB error 18 during bootup. anyone have any suggestions?
[03:54] <luisito> cocox, Ubuntu was at first only gnome.
[03:54] <dli> wowoku, you can pm me, but this is an english channel
[03:54] <matgates> Far out, I can actually see the Chinese characters in this terminal...
[03:54] <sethk> jtd_, sorry, I don't know of any docs for it.  It's one of the choices you'll see in webmin.
[03:54] <wowoku> dli :how to pm you
[03:54] <inc|freaky> how can u say a sentence with 3 signs?
[03:54] <dad> i dont even remember
[03:55] <trondk> but, is there any way to boot my ubuntu on /dev/sd1 by using my ubuntu cd?
[03:55] <dli> wowoku, register your nick, and /msg dli foo
[03:55] <inc|freaky> wolki: /msg dli text
[03:55] <mustard5> dad, I'd be curious what would happen if you just tried sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[03:55] <dad> just random stuff i thought i didn't want/need
[03:55] <NoobSauce> cocox sorry I was a little afk there. Kubuntu is for kde and Ubuntu is for gnome. You can install kde on ubuntu and gnome on kubuntu, so those are just the defaults
[03:55] <AnsiC> is possible substiture libc6 with glibc-2.3.4 ?
[03:55] <dad> ok, i'll try that, my dad's buggin me for his laptop back anyways
[03:55] <mustard5> dad, I take it you are using gnome? or where?
[03:55] <AnsiC> substitute
[03:55] <jtd_> sethk: how did you install webmin?
[03:55] <NoobSauce> cocox, you probably don't have edubuntu if that's what you're thinking... but it should not matter anyways
[03:56] <sethk> jtd_, I think there is a package for it
[03:56] <jtd_> and were there any extra steps needed to get it to work with postfix?
[03:56] <dli> trondk, if you use grub loader, yes, but I think most livecds use syslinux
[03:56] <mneten> little help, anyone? ubuntu noob here
[03:56] <sethk> jtd_, no, I just fired up the postfix plug in and it was very easy
[03:56] <mustard5> dad, you might need to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to reconfigure the xorg.conf file afterwards
[03:56] <blazemonger> my mouse cursor in ubuntu still changes colors out of random
[03:56] <jtd_> E: Package webmin has no installation candidate
[03:56] <daryl> Anyone know why when I run Wow, the patch runs and finishes.  then when i re-run wow, it downloads a update, then starts the same patch over again.  a big loop
[03:56] <blazemonger> i stil cant figure out what the bug is.think it might be a driver problem?
[03:56] <wowoku> dli :have you receive
[03:56] <inc|freaky> hi all, can someone help me? im trying to set up samba on my home server .. (no gui) ... but everytime i try to log in, it just tells me the login or pass is incorrect, even i added an account using smbpasswd ... the user also has a shell ..., can someone help me?
[03:56] <jtd_> and apt-cache search webmin returns no records.
[03:57] <dli> wowoku, no, only registered users can do pm
[03:57] <Cloud_tm> QUESTION: I'm trying to install a new program with Crossover office 5, and it says it requires a new windows installer wrapper. How can I downlaod a new one?
[03:57] <dli> jtd_, just in case, webmin should only be used on secure LAN
[03:57] <wowoku> where to register
[03:57] <Protostar> list
[03:57] <jtd_> this is secure.  it's behind a NAT, for starters.
[03:57] <inc|freaky> webmin is insecure
[03:57] <luisito> what file saves the configuration of all the applets I have in the panels?
[03:57] <blank> when i go to video.google.com, the video plays really fine but I hear no sound, and yes my sound is working in everything else (i.e. GAIM), could it be because I'm using ESD (default) and not ALSA?
[03:57] <cocox> NoobSauce, luisito, matgates thnx guyzzzzz :) i was just ttrying to choose some script for update my distro
[03:58] <NoobSauce> mneten what's your question?

[04:03] <dli> blank, yes, my mplayer-plugin works fine in firefox
[04:03] <trnc> is that what was wrong _jason?
[04:03] <AlmtyBob> what's the command to format a partition with JFS?
[04:03] <blank> dli, could it be because I'm running firefox 1.5?
[04:03] <dli> AlmtyBob, "sudo mkfs.jfs /dev/blah"
[04:03] <AlmtyBob> thank you dli
[04:03] <_jason> trnc: not sure.  Does it say build-essential is up to date now if you run apt-get install build-essential?
[04:03] <dli> blank, I don't know, I'm running firefox-1.5
[04:03] <mneten> the install scans the cd before anything really starts; would it detect any corruption?
[04:03] <blank> dli, ah, me too haha, so I guess it's not that
[04:03] <dad> srry mustard
[04:04] <trnc> it says libc6-dev is a depend which isn't going to be installed
[04:04] <trnc> and gcc
[04:04] <dad> but no, like when i first installed it
[04:04] <blank> dli, I need to have mplayer installed to install mplayer-plugin I assume (I'm getting an error in synaptic when trying to just isntall that)
[04:04] <sethk> mneten, the md5sum of the image is the real check.  the scan just looks for parts of the cd that are not readable
[04:04] <wowoku> dli :do you have msn or gt
[04:04] <mustard5> dad, I take it you've lost all your data now?
[04:04] <dli> wowoku, butdiene@hotmail.com

[04:05] <trnc> upade?
[04:05] <dad> i havent done anything yet
[04:05] <_jason> trnc: do 'sudo apt-get update' and try again

[04:07] <trnc> 4:4.0.1-3
[04:07] <Poker> thanks
[04:07] <_jason> trnc: so does it let you do 'sudo apt-get install gcc' ?

[04:08] <daryl> daryl@ubuntu2:~/Desktop/driconf-0.9.0$ python setup.py install
[04:08] <daryl> running install
[04:08] <daryl> error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python2.4/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)
[04:08] <gh0strida> Trae:

[04:08] <daryl> Anyone got a suggestion?
[04:08] <Trae> gh0strida,
[04:08] <trondk> but is there noway to boot my ubuntu on my hard disk, by using my ubuntu cd?
[04:09] <dli> trondk, you can find out your /dev/sda? by, "find /grub/menu.lst", in grub command line
[04:09] <gh0strida> Trae: sorry
[04:09] <Trae> ;)
[04:09] <Trae> np
[04:09] <_jason> trnc: and what happens when you try to install that?
[04:09] <daryl> Anyone know why my python doesn't have a config folder?
[04:09] <trnc> how would i install that?
[04:09] <_jason> trnc: apt-get install libc6-dev
[04:09] <trondk> dli: well, how can i do that then? my OS will not even start. after it checks for boot cds i get "Boot error" i can't even see GRUB
[04:10] <trnc> right brb
[04:10] <dli> trondk, install grub on hdd
[04:10] <trnc> says it depends on gcc
[04:10] <trnc> and g++
[04:10] <trnc> and dpkg-dev
[04:10] <Graig> is there a graphics forum?
[04:10] <trondk> am i needet to reinstall my ubuntu again then?
[04:11] <_jason> trnc: have you tried removing the cd-rom line and then using apt-cdrom or synaptic to add it back?
[04:11] <jtd_> ok.
[04:11] <jtd_> it's official.
[04:11] <trnc> the cd rom line from where?
[04:11] <jtd_> Webmin is freaking *COOL*.
[04:12] <daryl> Where can i get some help with python installs?
[04:12] <sethk> jtd_, yes, isn't it?
[04:12] <_jason> trnc: it's easier with synaptic, are you using gnome?
[04:12] <dli> trondk, you don't have to, you can install grub from livecd
[04:12] <amphi> trondk: you could boot off a cd and reinstall grub
[04:12] <trnc> its a standard install not sure if it's gnome
[04:12] <cocox> anyone knows if making an update of my hoary to breezy is the same or similar to update my kernell ??????
[04:12] <trnc> i am in synaptic it said broken package
[04:12] <blank> dli, it works now
[04:12] <blank> thanks man
[04:12] <_jason> trnc: is it brown?
[04:12] <trnc> yes brown
[04:13] <trondk> dli: i only got 1 ubuntu cd, and that's AMD 64 install cd
[04:13] <daryl> Where can i get some help with python installs?
[04:13] <blank> daryl, #python ?
[04:13] <trnc> it says 1 broken package on system
[04:13] <daryl> error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python2.4/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)
[04:13] <daryl> blank, I tried to run a driver install, and get that error
[04:13] <dli> trondk, maybe you can rescue use it, but I'm not sure
[04:13] <glacial|away> How do you make it so you can run a program from anywhere?
[04:13] <daryl> blank: I look and I have no config folder.
[04:14] <_jason> trnc: ok, go to system > administration > synaptic, settings > repositories.  Then remove the cdrom that is listed and add a new cdrom, see if that helps because I'm unsure of what is going on
[04:14] <blank> daryl, type /join #python

[04:15] <sethk> jtd_, I know there are options for handling different connection types.  Keep looking.  There are several screens and it isn't always obvious which one you need to be using.
[04:15] <AnsiC> why tall that is mounted ?
[04:15] <cocox> anyone knows if making an update of my hoary to breezy is the same or similar to update my kernell ??????
[04:15] <AnsiC> i created hda6 now
[04:16] <squiddle> how does /etc/cron.daily is supposed to work? it never gets executed, am i missing something?
[04:16] <sethk> cocox, it's a lot more extensive.  the kernel is only one part of the system.  upgrading to a new level of the distro changes tons of things
[04:16] <sethk> squiddle, yes
[04:16] <daryl> blank: any ideas?
[04:16] <arrick1> Hello and Whaddup?
[04:16] <squiddle> sethk  what can that be?
[04:17] <sethk> squiddle, the cron daemon reads those configuration files.
[04:17] <dooglus> cocox: updating to breezy will change your kernel, for sure, but it will also change everything else, too!
[04:17] <blank> daryl, I told you to join #python channel, I'm sorry but I don't know myself
[04:17] <arrick1> Hey I know that someone has answered this wuestion for me before, but what is the best html editor in ubuntu besides just a text editor?
[04:18] <blank> there's screem i think
[04:18] <blank> bluefish
[04:18] <dli> arrick1, bluefish, mozilla-composer, or openoffice
[04:18] <squiddle> sethk  do the scripts have to e executable? i think that is the missing point...
[04:18] <blank> what else...I'm not sure
[04:18] <mustard5> arrick1, nvu?
[04:18] <arrick1> thanks dli
[04:18] <sethk> squiddle, the thing that is actually run, yes, but the script telling cron when to run it, no

[04:18] <squiddle> .oO(writing the question is really a good solution...)
[04:18] <dooglus> daryl: did you install a package called 'python2.4'?  if not, do so
[04:18] <squiddle> sethk  ok thanks :)
[04:18] <cocox> sethk, dooglus so... we could say that im upgrading my kernell... thnx guyz :)
[04:19] <trnc>                                       _jason i'm installing on a system it seemed to work on ok last this is an old pc
[04:19] <trnc> ty for your help
[04:19] <arrick1> dli, is mozilla composer something a beginner can use? my wife wants to learn html, so I want something really easy (she's pretty computer illiterate)
[04:19] <_jason> trnc: ok, good luck
[04:19] <dooglus> cocox: if you got a head transplant, you could say you were getting a new haircut, too.
[04:20] <dli> arrick1, mozilla is very suitable for beginners, you can edit as the formatted or the source code
[04:20] <cocox> dooglus, JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAJJAJAJAJA
[04:20] <arrick1> ok thanks
[04:20] <cocox> dooglus, nice nice nice jajjaja so we could say that is a kernel update on a lot of things more
[04:20] <dooglus> yes
[04:22] <cocox> dooglus, oks thnxxx
[04:22] <rob_> hi, what would cause a .mov to be spliced horizontally and play double images or be completely corrupt in Movie Player, Kaffeine, Mplayer, but not in VLC??
[04:23] <AlmtyBob> k going nuts
[04:24] <blazemonger> blender wont run on my system
[04:24] <AlmtyBob> I installed on one HDD, I'll call it First...it would hang at boot, so I reinstalled on another HDD I'll call Second.  Second booted fine until I plugged First back in, then grub was always booting off First, no matter what I told my bios to do
[04:24] <blazemonger> but it will run in windows perfectly
[04:24] <blazemonger> why would that be?
[04:25] <AlmtyBob> so I took First and stuck it in my windows box and deleted the partitions and put it back in my linuxbox, but now it just errors during boot
[04:25] <AlmtyBob> for some reason it ALWAYS makes First /dev/sda unless it's unplugged
[04:25] <blazemonger> anyone here use blender in ubuntu?
[04:25] <AlmtyBob> regardless of what SATA port I plug it in to and regardless of how I set the boot order in the bios
[04:27] <mustard5> AlmtyBob, I'd only be guessing if I answered :)
[04:27] <|Sivik|> i need a howto for upgrading from breezy to dapper
[04:27] <|Sivik|> i can't remember where i found it and aother person needs to do it
[04:27] <jtd_> Sivik: no you don't :)
[04:27] <|Sivik|> jtd: why?
[04:27] <AlmtyBob> mustard5, please guess, your guess is better than mine
[04:28] <AlmtyBob> my guess is currently all of my past sins are coming back to haunt to me
[04:28] <jtd_> all you do is go into /etc/apt/sources.list, change everything that says breezy to dapper, save it, do an apt-get update and an apt-get dist-upgrade.
[04:28] <mustard5> AlmtyBob, heh..well the only thing I can think of is the jumper switches on the back of the drives :)
[04:28] <jtd_> (sudo, naturally)
[04:28] <AlmtyBob> and only though atonement and a virtuous life will this drive ever install properly
[04:28] <everton137> hi, when I try to use sudo for run some root program, it write "Broken Pipe". What should I do for fix this problem?
[04:28] <AlmtyBob> mustard5: they're SATA
[04:28] <mustard5> AlmtyBob, ah ok..never used SATA :)
[04:29] <mustard5> AlmtyBob, see..I'm out of my depth ;)
[04:29] <mustard5> hehe
[04:29] <AlmtyBob> though now that you mention it there is a jumper on this drive that isn't on the others although they're the same brand
[04:29] <brandon_> would apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop get rid of gnome entirely, or is there a better way?
[04:30] <mustard5> brandon_, no it wouldn't
[04:30] <mustard5> brandon_, not unless you installed ubuntu-desktop with aptitude
[04:30] <Nihil_85> can anyone help me with the ati drivers, please? i tried many how to, all the wiki in the ubuntu site and the ati installer. I cannot comprehend how i still cannot install correclty those drivers.
[04:31] <brandon_> well, what do you think the best way to get rid of gnome is, then?
[04:31] <mustard5> brandon_, I 'better way' would be to do a server install and build your system from there :)
[04:31] <|Sivik|> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Dapper_Installation_Guide
[04:31] <|Sivik|> brandon_: thats what i used and now its working for m
[04:31] <mustard5> brandon_, I can't think of any easy way to get rid of gnome
[04:31] <brandon_> does apt support wildcards?
[04:31] <|Sivik|> Nihil_85: use the url i just posted
[04:32] <|Sivik|> Nihil_85: thats how i got it to work
[04:32] <HIGH-FREQ> seriously any friggin  broadcom 43xx wireless users out there....i seriously need help...i've been reading the forums all friggin day tryin this and that..and nuttin seems to be working...and all the websites say it does...so wtf
[04:32] <Steil> HIGH-FREQ: it does
[04:32] <Steil> HIGH-FREQ: what is the problem?
[04:32] <|Sivik|> HIGH-FREQ: i have it working currently
[04:32] <HIGH-FREQ> blah
[04:32] <HIGH-FREQ> ok..here goes
[04:32] <|Sivik|> go to bcm-users if we can't help you
[04:32] <HIGH-FREQ> i'm on the dapper bcm43xx
[04:32] <Nihil_85> |Sivik| thanks! i hope this will works, cause many people suggested me hot to install the drivers and they didn't work, even if they were right for those people
[04:32] <|Sivik|> HIGH-FREQ: did ou install the new firmware in the /lib/firmware folder?
[04:33] <HIGH-FREQ> new firmware...i did exactly what the website said to do
[04:33] <Nihil_85> |Sivik|, i cannot see the link
[04:33] <|Sivik|> screw the website
[04:33] <squiddle> is there an alternative to apt-cache search?
[04:33] <|Sivik|> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Dapper_Installation_Guide
[04:33] <steff> hi all
[04:33] <HIGH-FREQ> k..lemme read real quick...brb
[04:34] <mustard5> squiddle, in what way is apt-cache search failing you?
[04:34] <steff> i've fgot a prob of wifi:(
[04:34] <|Sivik|> go download the firmware via http://tinyurl.com/z8ut7  and then use bcm43xx-fwcutter to install it in the /lib/firmware folder
[04:34] <PrimoTurbo> Does anyone know where the MPLAYER skin directory is?
[04:34] <PrimoTurbo> it's not ~/.mplayer/skins
[04:34] <PrimoTurbo> I tired doesn't show up
[04:34] <DBO> /usr/share/mplayer/Skins
[04:34] <PrimoTurbo> thnx :)
[04:35] <squiddle> mustard5  i think it is missing stuff, and i can't figure out how to search descriptions and case insensitive
[04:35] <cowboyway> does ubuntu use debian packages ?
[04:35] <|Sivik|> HIGH-FREQ: use that url i just posted to get the wl_psta.o file and then move it to /lib/firmware and then use bcm43xx-fwcutter to extract and then run ifconfig eth1 up and then set your parameters via iwconfig eth1
[04:35] <|Sivik|> cowboyway: yes
[04:35] <liquidindian> Hello!  Is there a way of getting to your dapper install from your breezy install?  I've broken my xorg.conf...
[04:35] <|Sivik|> liquidindian: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:35] <DBO> oops, dapper update wants a gdm restart, lets see if if breaks xorg! back in a minute
[04:35] <Bef> Newbie question: I just installed ubuntu and I'm trying to install this nic but everytime I run anything under system -> admin tools nothing happens
[04:36] <HIGH-FREQ> |Sivik|: that webiste is for gfx issue
[04:36] <cowboyway> so i can install any debian package on ubuntu ?
[04:36] <|Sivik|> not http://tinyurl.com/z8ut7
[04:36] <|Sivik|> that one
[04:36] <Bef> I've su'd as root and still nothing
[04:36] <HyperNewbie> hi everyone
[04:36] <PrimoTurbo> is there a command to merge 2 folders together?
[04:36] <PrimoTurbo> into 1
[04:36] <mustard5> squiddle, you could always try http://packages.ubuntu.com
[04:36] <liquidindian> |Sivik|, Will that overwrite breezy with dapper?
[04:36] <|Sivik|> yes
[04:36] <|Sivik|> HyperNewbie: i just got it working
[04:36] <|Sivik|> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Dapper_Installation_Guide
[04:36] <PrimoTurbo> Yes there is a command to merge two folders?
[04:36] <mustard5> squiddle, I think all debian packages are named in lower case
[04:36] <brandon_> now it works! i just wiped out all of the hidden config directories in my home folder, and now i can log in to gnome
[04:37] <HyperNewbie> but i have breezy badger..will that work too
[04:37] <|Sivik|> HyperNewbie: use that url and follow those instructions
[04:37] <|Sivik|> HyperNewbie: upgrade to dapper first
[04:37] <steff> hi yet :) i've got mepis 6 based unbuntu & i"ve got probs for wifi
[04:37] <movpclr> PrimoTurbo: mv folder1/* folder2/  - moves everything from folder one to folder two
[04:37] <|Sivik|> HyperNewbie: via apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:37] <HyperNewbie> |Sivik|: so it works? thanks mate
[04:37] <squiddle> mustard5  yeah, if i would now the package name, i wouldn't have to search for it :) it is like searching for HTML wysiwig editors i do not know how
[04:37] <PrimoTurbo> thnx man
[04:37] <|Sivik|> HyperNewbie: it at least just worked for me
[04:37] <Bef> Newbie question: I just installed ubuntu and I'm trying to install this nic but everytime I run anything under system -> admin tools nothing happens
[04:38] <Bef> can I login as root?
[04:38] <HyperNewbie> ati radeon express 200m?
[04:38] <liquidindian> |Sivik|, Hmm.  I kind of want to keep breezy until June 1st just in case.  Is there anyway to access the dapper filesystem and edit xorg?
[04:38] <|Sivik|> HyperNewbie: yes
[04:38] <mustard5> squiddle, it does search descriptions I think
[04:38] <HyperNewbie> all ri i'll wait until dapper shipit cd comes
[04:38] <|Sivik|> why can't you just edit the xorg.conf from the failsafe
[04:38] <mustard5> squiddle, what are you searching for?
[04:38] <|Sivik|> or command line
[04:38] <PrimoTurbo> what a command to remove a directory not a file, rm is for file i know that. Sorry for the noob questions :(
[04:38] <DBO> PrimoTurbo, rmdir
[04:38] <|Sivik|> liquidindian: just edit the xorg.conf file via the command line
[04:38] <HyperNewbie> because you have to go option "Noaccel"
[04:39] <PrimoTurbo> damn, that makes sense
[04:39] <movpclr> Bef: you can use the 'sudo' command or you can do 'sudo -i' to bring up a root prompt
[04:39] <PrimoTurbo> thnx
[04:39] <jmoncayo> when i just installed ubuntu i need apt-get install build-essential??
[04:39] <|Sivik|> liquidindian: does that make sense?
[04:39] <liquidindian> |Sivik|, because I'm a bit of a newbie and not entirely sure of what to do.  :)
[04:39] <squiddle> mustard5  there is nvu (or something like it) and it never shows up, thats why i think apt-cache is missing stuff because i use it wrong :o
[04:39] <DBO> jmoncayo, to compile anything yes
[04:39] <cowboyway> so ubuntu would prefer .deb packages to install?
[04:39] <movpclr> Bef: careful when operating at a root prompt though, you can accidentally delete important things
[04:39] <jmoncayo> oki
[04:39] <mustard5> squiddle, do you have universe and multiverse enabled?
[04:39] <squiddle> yes
[04:39] <|Sivik|> liquidindian: do you have access to the net via mozilla currently?
[04:40] <|Sivik|> liquidindian: as in gui
[04:40] <liquidindian> |Sivik|, yes
[04:40] <|Sivik|> ok
[04:40] <Bef> movpclr: thanks.. I did sudo -i entered the root password and tried launching Disk Manager for isntance and still nothing
[04:40] <|Sivik|> let me find you the proper way to set it up
[04:40] <mustard5> squiddle, I get it first try :)
[04:40] <|Sivik|> what kind of video card?
[04:40] <liquidindian> |Sivik|, using Breezy, that is.
[04:40] <squiddle> mustard5  what did you search for?
[04:40] <|Sivik|> liquidindian: ok, which version is screwed up?
[04:40] <mustard5> mustard@slave:~$ apt-cache search nvu
[04:40] <mustard5> nvu - Complete Web Authoring System
[04:40] <liquidindian> |Sivik|, Dapper, updated this morning.
[04:41] <AlmtyBob> gah time for another reinstall I suppose
[04:41] <movpclr> Bef: try 'gksudo' perhaps
[04:41] <squiddle> mustard5  this gives me no results
[04:41] <|Sivik|> ok, why not copy the info from he xorg.conf in breezy and put it in the xorg.conf for dapper, it should be pretty close together
[04:41] <mustard5> squiddle, I would check that you have the universe repository enabled...or run sudo apt-get update
[04:41] <arrick1> anyone, I am in the process of writing tutorials for some configurations on hte network I run, I do not want to use M$ Powerpoint, for this so what is similar that uses a universal format in ubuntu?
[04:41] <|Sivik|> openoffice
[04:41] <|Sivik|> program called impress
[04:42] <|Sivik|> pp for linux, windows, and mac
[04:42] <Bef> movpclr: doing gksudo disks-admin and nothing is happenning.. hmm could it be a bad install?
[04:42] <cowboyway> arrick1: wouldnt OpenOffice work ?
[04:42] <Bef> I'm not getting any visual response whatsoever
[04:42] <|Sivik|> cowboyway: thats what i just said
[04:42] <|Sivik|> arrick1: openoffice impress
[04:42] <squiddle> mustard5  this is universe? deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe multiverse
[04:42] <Bef> i'm restarting
[04:42] <muraii___> For a new Linux user looking to monitor network traffic that's likely pretty low-volume, is ethereal overkill?
[04:42] <Tedd> Could someone tell me how to upgrade from Breezy to Dapper? Should I just use my CD?
[04:43] <cowboyway> ssivik: i didnt read your comment
[04:43] <mustard5> squiddle, ah ok..you are on dapper...I wonder if that is what it different?
[04:43] <HIGH-FREQ> |Sivik|: ok access point:  Invalid
[04:43] <Tedd> or can I do it without it?
[04:43] <|Sivik|> arrick1: via www.openoffice.org
[04:43] <muraii___> Is something like iptraf better suited?
[04:43] <mustard5> squiddle, cant' see why dapper wouldnt have nvu though
[04:43] <|Sivik|> HIGH-FREQ: is the essid and channel set properly?
[04:43] <|Sivik|> print your iwconfig eth1 says via http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[04:43] <mustard5> squiddle, do you sudo apt-get update?
[04:43] <|Sivik|> and then tell me the url
[04:43] <HIGH-FREQ> |Sivik|: channel?  somethin like  iwconfig eth1 channel 11
[04:43] <|Sivik|> however the ap is set
[04:43] <mneten> Noobsauce; dli: thanks for that help earlier, system booting properly now
[04:44] <squiddle> mustard5  yes 1 hour ago
[04:44] <|Sivik|> different freq is different channel
[04:44] <mustard5> squiddle, hmm..a mystery :)
[04:44] <|Sivik|> do you know the freq that your ap is set to?
[04:44] <delmar> whats the ubuntu method to add a network printer (it's an lpr type printer with an IP address). anyone?
[04:44] <squiddle> mustard5  i can't install it, so maybe it is really not in the repos
[04:44] <delmar> is there a little gui app?
[04:44] <mustard5> squiddle, try searching for nvu at http://packages.ubuntu.com
[04:45] <squiddle> mustard5  wow it looks like it is really not in dapper :o
[04:45] <AlmtyBob> hell do I even need GRUB is Ubuntu's going to be the only OS on this PC?
[04:45] <mustard5> squiddle, very strange :)
[04:45] <|Sivik|> what is the command for glxgears to print the fps
[04:45] <mustard5> squiddle, I can see it in dapper at packages.ubuntu.com :)
[04:45] <_jason> !glxgears
[04:45] <ubotu> To display the FPS type "glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark"
[04:46] <mustard5> squiddle, are you typing in caps?
[04:46] <mustard5> squiddle, http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/web/nvu
[04:46] <bbrazil> AlmtyBob: the kernel used to be able to boot itself, but you do want grub. Especially for disaster recovery type stuff
[04:46] <AlmtyBob> ok
[04:46] <|Sivik|> _jason: whats the real command
[04:47] <_jason> |Sivik|: that is the real command...
[04:47] <|Sivik|> _jason: that doesn't work
[04:47] <AlmtyBob> how does Ubuntu pick which drive is SDA/SDB/SDC?
[04:47] <_jason> |Sivik|: it works here
[04:47] <AlmtyBob> it seems arbitrary and has nothing to do with which SATA port I plug into
[04:47] <squiddle> mustard5  i see packages.ubuntu.com has a filter... set to breezy by default :)
[04:47] <cowboyway> if one cannot find .deb packages for the particular software is it very complex to install from source on ubuntu ? also is it more difficult to uninstall when installed from source ?
[04:47] <_jason> |Sivik|: you have to let it run for like 10 seconds
[04:48] <mustard5> AlmtyBob, I have no idea
[04:48] <garageman> noob needs some help here
[04:48] <Nihil85> |Sivik|: the guide you gave me didn't work... :(
[04:48] <mustard5> AlmtyBob, I might try searching in the wiki and forum for some hints on this
[04:48] <|Sivik|> Nihil85: where did it stp woring
[04:48] <AlmtyBob> and is SATA supposed to be listed as SCSI?
[04:48] <|Sivik|> _jason: doesn't it have to be able 1000 to have the 3d stuff installed correctly
[04:48] <|Sivik|> AlmtyBob: yes
[04:48] <|Sivik|> sda
[04:48] <|Sivik|> or sdb
[04:48] <|Sivik|> or whatever it is
[04:48] <AlmtyBob> ok
[04:49] <everton137> hi, when I try to use "sudo", it writes "Broken pipe". Any tip for what is happening?
[04:49] <mustard5> squiddle, you could download the package from that webpage and install using dpkg if you get desperate :)
[04:49] <bbrazil> everton137: what's the full command you're using?
[04:49] <squiddle> mustard5  yeah i know
[04:49] <HIGH-FREQ> |Sivik|: this what u wanted?   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13540
[04:49] <liquidindian> |Sivik|, If I run xorgconfig, should it 'rebuild' xorg.conf?
[04:49] <squiddle> mustard5  thx for the help
[04:49] <_jason> |Sivik|: I don't know about any magic number that tells you that.  What does 'glxinfo | grep direct' say?
[04:49] <AlmtyBob> |Sivik|: do you know why it's saying my third SATA drive is actually SCSI2:SDA?
[04:49] <everton137> bbrazil, sudo vi /ect/modules, for example
[04:49] <delmar> "glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark"  ... how freakin lame can u get.
[04:49] <garageman> my box locks when it tries to access webcam, anyone have any ideas?
[04:49] <everton137> bbrazil, or sudo su, I cannot use sudo
[04:49] <Nihil85> |Sivik|: when i type the commands, everything's allright, then, when i reboot to see the changes, while gdm is starting, the screen turns black and the monitor osd says "over range" and the keyboard is blocked, everything is blocked
[04:49] <|Sivik|> AlmtyBob: no
[04:50] <bbrazil> everton137: how about sudo -l ?
[04:50] <|Sivik|> HIGH-FREQ: is that the right channel/freq?
[04:50] <everton137> bbrazil, Sorry, user everton may not run sudo on brussell.
[04:50] <HIGH-FREQ> |Sivik| i did  sudo iwconfig eth1 channel 11
[04:50] <everton137> was me removed from sudoers list?
[04:50] <HIGH-FREQ> and thats what i got afterwards
[04:51] <bbrazil> everton137: any recent changes? In particular to security stuff (PAM etc.)
[04:51] <|Sivik|> HIGH-FREQ: do you have mac filtering on or anything?
[04:51] <garageman> does 5.10 support creative webcams?
[04:51] <HIGH-FREQ> dunno...this is breezy..then i upgraded to dapper 6.06 beta...
[04:51] <|Sivik|> did you google search?
[04:51] <HIGH-FREQ> oh yes
[04:51] <HIGH-FREQ> been on this for 4 days now
[04:51] <HIGH-FREQ> tryin to get someone to help
[04:51] <|Sivik|> HIGH-FREQ: i was talking to garageman on the google thing
[04:52] <everton137> bbrazil, I upgraded to dapper. I began to have sound problems and I justy booted in security mode. Sound problem  is fixd, but I have this sudo problem now
[04:52] <HIGH-FREQ> i'm on page 24 of the forums...lmao
[04:52] <HIGH-FREQ> oh..hehe
[04:52] <|Sivik|> HIGH-FREQ: did you install the new firmware to /lib/firmware?
[04:52] <HIGH-FREQ> ya
[04:52] <|Sivik|> ok
[04:52] <|Sivik|> and then you did a ifconfig eth1 up
[04:52] <everton137> bbrazil, I just dpkg --purge --force-all sudo ; apt-get install sudo
[04:52] <garageman> sivik, i tried to google about it, and nothing seems to be working
[04:52] <HIGH-FREQ> cp'd it there..then ran  bcm43xx-fwcutter wl*.o
[04:52] <everton137> after all this
[04:52] <Nihil85> |Sivik|: did you read what i wrote?
[04:52] <|Sivik|> Nihil85: i can only help one person at a time
[04:52] <|Sivik|> Nihil85: give me a minute
[04:52] <Nihil85> ok, i will wait
[04:52] <HIGH-FREQ> ya
[04:52] <HIGH-FREQ> i did
[04:52] <Nihil85> excuse me
[04:52] <everton137> bbrazil, I guess I was removed from admin ist
[04:53] <everton137> list
[04:53] <HIGH-FREQ> still invalid ap
[04:53] <bbrazil> everton137: yes, the purge would have emptied sudoers
[04:53] <|Sivik|> HIGH-FREQ: did you copy it to the /lib/firmware folder?
[04:53] <HIGH-FREQ> ya
[04:53] <|Sivik|> paste what your /lib/firmware says please
[04:53] <|Sivik|> on that same url
[04:53] <HIGH-FREQ> its /lib/firmware/wl_apsta.o
[04:53] <|Sivik|> ok
[04:53] <everton137> bbrazil, do you know how make user everton a sudoers again? add on admin group?
[04:53] <|Sivik|> and then extracted it
[04:54] <HIGH-FREQ> ya with bcm43xx-fwcutter wl_apsta.o   it spit alot of files....
[04:54] <arrick1> Is there Bible Software for someone in the ministry in ubuntu?
[04:54] <HIGH-FREQ> then i did sudo ifconfig eth1 up
[04:54] <bbrazil> everton137: run visudo as root and add yourself back in
[04:54] <|Sivik|> let me see what your /lib/firmware looks like
[04:54] <mustard5> arrick1, yep
[04:54] <mustard5> arrick1, gnomesword I think it is
[04:54] <|Sivik|> after you paste it, give me the url
[04:54] <HIGH-FREQ> k
[04:54] <HIGH-FREQ> k
[04:55] <arrick1> mustard5, thanks
[04:55] <everton137> bbrazil, thanks! :)
[04:55] <voraistos> hey guys! i am trying to install the ATI drivers on dapper, and there is no way to force the install with  X_version=x690 ! does anybody know ?
[04:56] <bbrazil> everton137: if you run into problems, ask someone (not me) for the relavent line from their sudoers file
[04:57] <sambo619> i'm having problems patching my orinoco drivers, i used the howto guide on the forums and i still get stuck. anyone know how to fix this?
[04:57] <sambo619> anyone alive in here?
[04:58] <mustard5> sambo619, yep
[04:58] <sambo619> can u help me finish patching my orinoco drivers?
[04:58] <dli> sambo619, is it supprted by kernel?
[04:58] <mustard5> sambo619, unfortunately no..but there are tons of other people in here
[04:59] <squiddle> ok sun is coming out, good night everyone
[04:59] <muraii__1> Okay, let's try another one.  I have largely eschewed Gnome for Openbox 3 only; but I want to add to my menu stuff like firestarter or ethereal, that require sudo.
[04:59] <muraii__1> What can I do to make the password dialog box pop up, so I don't have to always have a terminal tethered to a process/application running?
[04:59] <sambo619> my forum thread is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=171510
[05:00] <sambo619> dli: everything you need to know is there
[05:00] <mustard5> muraii__1, oh...I saw this yesterday :)
[05:00] <Nihil85> |Sivik|: can i bother you?
[05:01] <mustard5> muraii__1, it was something like 'detach' or something..can't remember
[05:01] <dli> sambo619, show it with "sudo lspci" or "lspci -v"
[05:01] <muraii__1> mustard5: Hmmm...
[05:01] <sambo619> dli: what do you mean?
[05:01] <bbrazil> muraii__1: I think you're either looking for expect or screen
[05:02] <muraii__1> I know you can use something like "screen", a program that puts your terminal on steroids.
[05:02] <high-freq2> |Siv: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13542  thats the paste of my /lib/firmware
[05:02] <sambo619> dli: i have to run out the door, please reply to my post or in pm i'll get it later.
[05:02] <mustard5> muraii__1, what app are you running?
[05:03] <high-freq2> |Sivik|: i've tried alot...even with ndiswrapper and also with the bcm43xx module with dapper
[05:03] <muraii__1> bbrazil: In Gnome, if I'm launching an app that needs SU, a dialog requests the password.  I just want to be able to mimic that functionality in Openbox.
[05:03] <muraii__1> mustard5: firestarter and ethereal require it.
[05:03] <mustard5> muraii__1, try running with gksudo?
[05:04] <muraii__1> Basically, I can open a terminal, run "sudo firestarter", enter my password, and it's good.  But I want to be able to add firestarter to my right-click menu.
[05:04] <muraii__1> mustard5: Aha!  That might actually be it!
[05:04] <mustard5> muraii__1, the syntax for the thing was something like   <command you want to use> & detach
[05:04] <arrick1> who wanted to know about downloading from more than one source at a time earlier?
[05:04] <|Sivik|> high-freq2: have you restarted the computer?
[05:05] <HIGH-FREQ> not yet
[05:05] <cowboyway> what can one do if dont find the version of software needed in a deb package ?
[05:05] <HIGH-FREQ> restart it?
[05:05] <|Sivik|> HIGH-FREQ: try rebooting
[05:05] <mustard5> muraii__1, but it might not be 'detach'...I'm obsessed now..I have to find it :)
[05:05] <HIGH-FREQ> k
[05:05] <|Sivik|> and then run the ifconfig up eth1 and set your iwconfig parameters
[05:05] <HIGH-FREQ> also can i just add them into the /etc/network/interfaces file?
[05:05] <mustard5> muraii__1, ah it is 'detach' :)
[05:06] <|Sivik|> that works too but i don't know how to do that
[05:06] <muraii__1> mustard5: gksudo is precisely what I want.
[05:06] <muraii__1> It worked perfectly.
[05:06] <sivik-busy-poker> HIGH-FREQ: your the last person i'm going to help right now
[05:06] <mustard5> muraii__1, well thats the main thing :D
[05:06] <HIGH-FREQ> k
[05:06] <HIGH-FREQ>  thx much...this has been goin on for 4 days
[05:06] <HIGH-FREQ> msg me if u would like
[05:07] <sivik-busy-poker> ok
[05:07] <HIGH-FREQ> hopefully we can get it up and working in no time
[05:07] <muraii__1> mustard5: But now the detach thing is interesting.  I can open a terminal, type "sudo firestarter & detach", type password, and all is good?
[05:07] <garageman> my camorama app keeps locking up the box, any ideas?
[05:07] <mustard5> muraii__1, I think so :)
[05:07] <sivik-busy-poker> HIGH-FREQ: thats how i got mine to work
[05:08] <amphi> cowboyway: building from source is one option
[05:08] <HIGH-FREQ> ok its rebooted
[05:08] <HIGH-FREQ> do i have to modprobe bcm43xx  first?
[05:08] <HIGH-FREQ> cuz   iwconfig   didn't list it
[05:08] <sivik-busy-poker> yes
[05:09] <sivik-busy-poker> you have to modprobe bcm43xx after you copy the firmware, i totally forgot about that, i'm sorry
[05:09] <mustard5> muraii__1, I think strictly speaking gtk apps are supposed to be run with gksudo
[05:09] <sivik-busy-poker> go ahead and run sudo modprobe bcm43xx
[05:09] <HIGH-FREQ> ok done...
[05:10] <mustard5> muraii__1, the ones that need to be run as a superuser that is
[05:10] <cowboyway> amphi: if building from source is it any different than building from source on slackware ?
[05:10] <HIGH-FREQ> reran  iwconfig and came up...but still says invalid...now i'm gonna put thos commands in to change the essid and channel
[05:10] <navyn> hey guys how can i configure a joystick in ubuntu?  It works without any installing or configuring, but surely there is a setup option somewhere where i can change some of the settings
[05:10] <HIGH-FREQ> iwconfig eth1 essid blah ,  iwconfig eth1 channel 11
[05:10] <luke> should I use OpenOffice.org or OpenOffice.org2?
[05:10] <HIGH-FREQ> right?
[05:10] <sivik-busy-poker> yeah
[05:10] <muraii__1> mustard5: Makes sense.
[05:10] <sivik-busy-poker> luke: pick one and if you don't like it uninstall and the use the other
[05:10] <spikeb> navyn, one area might be the applications that use the joystick
[05:11] <HIGH-FREQ> ok...done.. AP: Invalid still
[05:11] <luke> sivik: how do i uninstall oo2. sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org2?
[05:11] <navyn> spikeb, yeah its that way for some games, but like supertux doesn't have a joystick option
[05:11] <sivik-busy-poker> yes
[05:11] <sivik-busy-poker> should be able to do that
[05:11] <test555> for joystick stuff:  there is a package called joystick
[05:11] <spikeb> hmm
[05:11] <test555> it contains jstest and jscal
[05:11] <test555> should be what you need
[05:11] <luke> how do I install something with all it's dependencies automatically?
[05:12] <test555> synaptic package manager is great for that
[05:12] <brandon_> is gizmo supposed to dock successfully?
[05:12] <amphi> cowboyway: no
[05:12] <HIGH-FREQ> hmm
[05:12] <HIGH-FREQ> still invalid
[05:12] <mustard5> luke, apt-get normally doest that..are you using dpkg?
[05:12] <amphi> cowboyway: I have a few things I build from src
[05:12] <NoobSauce> is there any way for me to boot directly into a folder?
[05:13] <cowboyway> amphi: if building from source what is needed to uninstall on ubuntu ?
[05:13] <sivik-busy-poker> HIGH-FREQ: what does your iwlist scan look like?
[05:13] <luke> mustard5, I tried sudo apt-get install openoffice.org2 "The following packages have unmet dependencies:\n openoffice.org: Conflicts: openoffice.org2"
[05:13] <NoobSauce> I have an old box with no CD drive, and the only way to get ubuntu on there would be to boot from the hard drive (it is currently a GUI-less debian box which is very broken)
[05:13] <luke> oh..
[05:13] <test555> to build from source, you will need a (the) compiler and any required libraries
[05:13] <test555> also make
[05:13] <HIGH-FREQ> sivik-busy-poker: eth1  No scan results
[05:14] <spikeb> luke, it looks like you have openoffice.org 1.x installed
[05:14] <HIGH-FREQ> and there are 2 open networks here..so routers aren't a problem...before i took off windoz on this lappy i had accessed both of them
[05:14] <luke> spikeb, yeah. but for some reason when I double click a .doc or .xls file it tries to open in OO2, even though its not installed
[05:15] <spikeb> luke, well, you'd need to either change the default application, or remove the old version of openoffice.org and install the new one
[05:15] <luke> how do u change the default app?
[05:15] <mustard5> luke, you tried apt-get -f install ?
[05:15] <test555> mustard5.... what does that command do?
[05:15] <luke> mustard5, I think the problem was you cant have oo1 and oo2 installed at the same time
[05:15] <spikeb> i'm having a brainfart on that
[05:15] <mustard5> test555, the -f means 'fix broken'
[05:16] <spikeb> luke, somewhere in the right click menu...right click on a .xls or .doc file and take a look
[05:16] <test555> ah, ok.  thnks
[05:16] <mustard5> luke, k
[05:16] <luke> spikeb, ty, got it
[05:16] <spikeb> you bet :)
[05:17] <HIGH-FREQ> sivik-busy-poker: like its a broadcom 4318 ..using  dapper 6.06 beta...i "upgraded" from breezy.... seems like  ndiswrapper gives more of an output when i do iwconfig ...i mean it gives the signal and all that stuff..which says 0..but at least the AP says Not-Associated
[05:17] <brandon_> is amsn supposed to dock?
[05:17] <PrimoTurbo> Does anyone know an application which can mount a linux partition and get files from it in windows?
[05:17] <brandon_> think i'm having a tray problem
[05:18] <spikeb> yes, amsn has a systray bit
[05:18] <spikeb> i dont know if it's turned on by default
[05:18] <PrimoTurbo> Basicly a Windows program can access Linux partitions, any ideas?
[05:18] <NoobSauce> PrimoTurbo I think it's called ext2fs or maybe ex2fs
[05:18] <NoobSauce> PrimoTurbo despite what the name might imply, you will be able to read ext2 and ext3 partitions with it
[05:18] <sivik-busy-poker> PrimoTurbo: i don't think so
[05:18] <^thehatsrule^> explorer2fs i think?
[05:19] <arrick1> goodnight everybody
[05:19] <^thehatsrule^> theres a program, or a driver available for download
[05:19] <brandon_> is there a configuration program for the gnome system tray?
[05:19] <PrimoTurbo> yes
[05:19] <PrimoTurbo> http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm
[05:19] <PrimoTurbo> thnx
[05:19] <blazemonger> my mouse cursor keeps changing colors
[05:20] <^thehatsrule^> thats cool blazemonger
[05:20] <spikeb> heh that IS cool
[05:20] <blazemonger> not cool theSamo
[05:20] <^thehatsrule^> lol
[05:20] <Syco54645> does anyone know of a program that will report what key is pressed on a keyboard
[05:20] <blazemonger> it turns all black to where i can't see it
[05:20] <spikeb> but i'm sure it's annoying if you don't want it :)
[05:20] <spikeb> crap crap
[05:20] <HIGH-FREQ> sivik-busy-poker: any other suggestions..like what website...if your busy i can do moer reading...been on this for 4 days now...
[05:20] <Syco54645> including the function keys, alt, ctrl, etc
[05:20] <spikeb> Syco54645, i do, let me think
[05:20] <^thehatsrule^> blazemonger: which video driver?
[05:20] <mustard5> Syco54645, x something...
[05:20] <sivik-busy-poker> go to #bcm-users
[05:20] <HIGH-FREQ> sivik-busy-poker: anything will help ;)
[05:20] <HIGH-FREQ> aah ok
[05:20] <sivik-busy-poker> HIGH-FREQ: #bcm-users
[05:21] <mustard5> Syco54645, I'm thinking of it
[05:21] <Syco54645> mustard5: lol ok
[05:21] <sivik-busy-poker> ask around there, i may be missing something
[05:21] <Syco54645> mustard5: i need it because i am hacking a keyboard for an arcade controller
[05:21] <HIGH-FREQ> k thx
[05:21] <spikeb> Syco54645, heh that's cool
[05:21] <blazemonger> rage 128
[05:21] <Syco54645> i have all of the parts for it
[05:21] <test555> rage128.. ouch!
[05:21] <Syco54645> i just need to do the hacking now
[05:21] <Syco54645> and i dont want to buy a keyboard encoder for all that money
[05:22] <Syco54645> when i can do it for free with parts i already have
[05:22] <blazemonger> test555, :ubuntu doesnt like my hardware but its the only distro besides debian that has libc5 support
[05:22] <^thehatsrule^> blazemonger: hm.. not sure.. but you check your xorg.conf for SoftwareCursor/HardwareCursor.. try turning it on/off
[05:22] <wizzlefish> I've installed "menu" from Synaptic Package Manager, but the Debian menu won't show up under "Applications". Any ideas?
[05:22] <blazemonger> i've tried that
[05:22] <^thehatsrule^> heh then restarted X?
[05:23] <muraii__1> mustard5: Tried the "sudo <command> & detach" at the command line, but no go.  It's no big deal, but now I'm curious.  Do you have "screen" installed by chance?  I know it lets you detach processes.
[05:23] <stpere> wizzlefish, might try to killall gnome-panel
[05:23] <stpere> wizzlefish, it will reload your menu
[05:23] <mustard5> muraii__1, yeah...its installed but I don't know how to use it
[05:24] <Syco54645> mustard5: any luck remember yet?
[05:24] <mustard5> Syco54645, still thinking of it ...
[05:24] <muraii__1> mustard5: I think that's a screen-specific command.
[05:24] <mustard5> :D
[05:24] <test555> muraii__1: i missed the question... what are you guys trying to do to detach a process?
[05:24] <Syco54645> i am not seeing anything in synaptic like it
[05:24] <wizzlefish> stpere - nope, that didn't work
[05:24] <spikeb> i can't remember
[05:25] <muraii__1> test555: Yeah.  I figured out that launching stuff from Openbox 3 right-click menus is tricky if they need SU status.  I had tried just putting "sudo" in my menu.xml file, but no luck.  mustard5 wisely advised using gksudo, which I'd forgotten about.
[05:26] <test555> muraii__1: ah, ok.  good to know
[05:27] <mustard5> Syco54645, xev
[05:27] <spikeb> yes, gksudo is quite handy
[05:27] <brandon_> what's the deal with startup scripts on gnome?
[05:28] <amphi> mustard5: grun is a handy little thing - I have a keybinding to launch it in openbox
[05:28] <Syco54645> mustard5: thanks so much.  well off to boot the old p2 and get to hacking
[05:28] <mustard5> Syco54645, it works for what you want?
[05:28] <amphi> muraii__1: grun is a handy little thing - I have a keybinding to launch it in openbox
[05:28] <test555> Has anyone out there had problems with beagled and memory consumption?
[05:28] <spikeb> Syco54645, have fun!
[05:28] <Syco54645> mustard5: yes it does
[05:28] <amphi> mustard5: sorry
[05:28] <mustard5> Syco54645, cool :)
[05:28] <Syco54645> spikeb: i will invite you over
[05:28] <spikeb> hehehe
[05:28] <Syco54645> beer and arcade
[05:28] <spikeb> sweet
[05:30] <test555> whats the best way to upgrade a version of a program when its not in synaptic yet?
[05:30] <spikeb> wait for it to hit the repos
[05:30] <test555> bummer
[05:31] <spikeb> that's the "best" way. there are other ways :)
[05:32] <test555> spikeb: yeah i suppose i could download src and build, but i dont want to screw other stuff up at the same time
[05:33] <spikeb> i know what you mean
[05:34] <mousearmy> HELP! My little sissy messed with the keyboard at the login screen, and set the default resolution to 640x480, and deleted all the other resolutions.
[05:34] <mousearmy> uh.
[05:34] <mousearmy> nvm
[05:34] <brandon_> bwaahahahaaa
[05:34] <spikeb> rofl
[05:35] <test555> that was interesting
[05:35] <spikeb> and funny!
[05:35] <eggzeck> heh
[05:36] <brandon_> deleted the other resolutions
[05:36] <moses> hello
[05:37] <moses> what is the site where the releases of linux displays
[05:38] <sivik-busy-poker> moses: did you google it?
[05:38] <test555> moses: are you asking for a listing of linux distrobutions?
[05:38] <sivik-busy-poker> and what distros?
[05:38] <intelikey> or distrowatch.org ?
[05:40] <moses> ok thank you
[05:40] <amphi> moses: kernel.org?
[05:41] <moses> what is the command of the netstat on terminal?
[05:41] <amphi> moses: huh?
[05:41] <moses> on terminal
[05:41] <intelikey> ifconfig ?
[05:41] <eggzeck> moses, 'netstat;
[05:42] <eggzeck> moses, oops, that's: 'netstat'
[05:42] <moses> i will type netstat?
[05:42] <eggzeck> yes, but that's raw so it will show you EVERYTHING
[05:42] <amphi> moses: or perhaps 'man netstat' ;)
[05:42] <moses> damn, how to stop it when im on netstat?
[05:42] <eggzeck> it will stop
[05:42] <eggzeck> just give it time, if you don't want to, just hit CTRL+C
[05:43] <eggzeck> moses, and do what amphi said: man netstat
[05:43] <vinboy> how do I enable my MSN frens' Display Picture on the Gaim list?
[05:43] <hugleo> s cai mesmo o modem
[05:43] <moses> damn so many coming out
[05:43] <eggzeck> moses, yeah. you can hit ctrl+c to kill it. But doesn't hurt to see it all =)
[05:44] <moses> i want something like netstat -n
[05:44] <moses> when on windows
[05:44] <amphi> moses: what does that do?
[05:44] <moses> it will display the ip address only
[05:45] <intelikey> moses learn to filter with things like grep cut and less  if you are going to use CLI become good at it :)
[05:45] <eggzeck> amphi, maybe you should read 'man netstat' too :P
[05:45] <moses> ok
[05:45] <intelikey> ifconfig may be what you were looking for?
[05:45] <moses> thanks
[05:45] <moses> thats it
[05:45] <amphi> eggzeck: I have no idea what windows netstat does - I know what -n does here
[05:46] <moses> no hacking direct pc tutorials here
[05:46] <eggzeck> amphi, windows nestat? I don't think he meant that. I think he meant something like 'netstat -n' for windows.
[05:46] <moses> yah
[05:46] <moses> netstat -n
[05:46] <amphi> eggzeck: oh
[05:47] <amphi> he probably needs an 'enterprise' version of windows for anything like that ;)
[05:47] <eggzeck> amphi, he needs no windows
[05:47] <intelikey> :)
[05:48] <intelikey> prejudice
[05:48] <amphi> eggzeck: well, there's that too ;)
[05:48] <eggzeck> heehee
[05:50] <intelikey> "the only good windows is a deleted one"
[05:51] <NoobSauce> is there any way to mount a ubuntu installation iso and then boot from it?
[05:52] <NoobSauce> I have a pretty broken debian system that needs rewriting over with no cd rom or floppy drives
[05:52] <intelikey> nount and then boot....  not that i know of.
[05:52] <onthost> Could he do a NFS install (if ubuntu even supports that method anymore)
[05:52] <spikeb> hrm
[05:52] <NoobSauce> so I feared :(
[05:52] <intelikey> but there is a lot that i don't know.
[05:53] <NoobSauce> is there any way to just install ubuntu from debian? I know they have an installation method for breezy from windows...
[05:53] <intelikey>  one could mount it and then run the installer maybe.
[05:53] <phrizer> NoobSauce, plug a cdrom drive in temporarly?
[05:53] <phrizer> heh
[05:53] <onthost> ya thats a good bet i think
[05:53] <onthost> a cdrom costs what 10$?
[05:53] <NoobSauce> I can't... I have no functional CD roms that I can just plug in at my office
[05:53] <phrizer> take it out of another computer,
[05:54] <dli> what about a usb stick?
[05:54] <NoobSauce> not to mention I'm having really bad luck with cdrom drives... I've hosed 3 of them this week :(
[05:54] <amphi> NoobSauce: heh
[05:54] <NoobSauce> my usb stick (ipod shuffle) is only 512 mb, so not enough for an ubuntu install
[05:54] <onthost> Noobsauce: how the hell did you hose a cdrom? throw it out a window
[05:54] <NoobSauce> onthost no, I don't use CD rom drives that much, and the two that I had lying around turned out not to work anymore
[05:55] <onthost> noobsauce: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/OnNFSDrive?highlight=%28nfs%29
[05:55] <NoobSauce> can you just run the installer from the iso image while still in linux?
[05:55] <spikeb> 512MB would be enough for DSL though
[05:55] <spikeb> (damn small linux)
[05:56] <zelinda> hello!
[05:56] <jak08> hello
[05:56] <zelinda> I need a help
[05:56] <luke> lo
[05:56] <zelinda> I instaled Ubutu 5.10, I very new at linux
[05:57] <intelikey> NoobSauce one could do a server-install (about < 400m) on an hdd then cp that over a network (assumes high end network)  to a disk partition,   there may be a net install now for the dapper release comming out next month.   search http://ubuntu.com
[05:57] <eggzeck> zelinda, what do you need help with? Ask and we may be able to help.
[05:57] <intelikey> spikeb 512m is enough for any os.
[05:58] <intelikey> well windows might not install on that..... (i don't do windows)
[05:59] <zelinda> I was tring to using the terminal but I culd not write my password, it did not show, I type but the screm still do blank!
[05:59] <dli> intelikey, I got a usb stick for both debian and gentoo with 86MB space used. now, how do I add ubuntu installation to it?
[06:00] <intelikey> dli how much space does it have ?
[06:00] <dli> intelikey, 1gb
[06:00] <dli> intelikey, but I want to make the installation as compact as reasonable
[06:01] <NeverDream> does linux have something against PCI video cards?
[06:01] <onthost> NeverDream: no what is your problem
[06:01] <intelikey> dli then install on an hd with server option and then remove all the excess crap that you don't want and when you are happy with it cp it to the usb stick
[06:01] <onthost> err what problem are you having with them rather (the first way sounded rude)
[06:01] <NeverDream> I keep getting kernel panics ever since I put in my nVidia PCI card
[06:01] <dli> intelikey, not good :(
[06:02] <steel> OK, I installed Ubuntu on my second HD (windows is unaltered on the first) and grub asks me to configure and I let it configure for windows xp professional and ubuntu. I take out my second hard drive (the one with ubuntu on it). I assumed all the grub data was on the ubuntu hard drive, but it wasn't. When I try to boot into windows, it now says; "GRUB loading, please wait...." then the next line is "Error 21" how do i fix this?
[06:02] <NeverDream> I can boot fine with the card in the slot as long as I tell the BIOS to use integrated graphics
[06:02] <intelikey> dli if you want it compact that's about the only option you have.   the server-install is 384m  iirc  hardly qualifies as compact.
[06:02] <zelinda> Could you please teach me how can I install the floppy drive?
[06:02] <NoobSauce> spikeb is there some kind of netinstall for ubuntu like there is for debian? I've been unable to find one so far...
[06:03] <spikeb> there should be
[06:03] <NeverDream> kanotix gives me a segfault while ubuntu gives me a lot of detailed info that doesn't all fit on the screen
[06:03] <Bef> I forgot how stable linux is .. I'm doing all kinds of nonsense and it's stable as shit
[06:03] <dli> intelikey, what's the point? debian netinstall is less than 16MB
[06:03] <NeverDream> I tried reinstalling (the install cd boots fine) but the actual install still doesn't boot
[06:04] <zelinda> oi
[06:04] <intelikey> dli "what's the point?"  which point ?
[06:04] <dli> intelikey, 384mb
[06:04] <dli> intelikey, as the "as compact as possible"
[06:04] <zelinda> I am new at the irc too
[06:04] <NeverDream> !pcivideo
[06:05] <ubotu> NeverDream: Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[06:05] <zelinda> bye bye
[06:05] <NPC_Crystufer> Hey all, how do I bind a script to a shell command?
[06:05] <intelikey> dli yes  that is as small as you can initially install ubuntu.   so like i said install it then trim the fat off of it.
[06:05] <ADRnLn> what is the name of a good PPC Ubuntu channel?
[06:05] <NPC_Crystufer> Ubuntu.
[06:05] <NeverDream> I installed the nVidia drivers after rebooting with integrated graphics but it still craps out if I try booting with PCI graphics
[06:06] <dli> intelikey, then I won't add it :) they can always install debian
[06:06] <NPC_Crystufer> ADRnLn You might wanna try Yellow Dog. It's the leading ppc specialist linux.
[06:06] <NeverDream> someone please help me out
[06:06] <intelikey> dli i agree :)
[06:06] <spikeb> yellowdog sucks
[06:06] <spikeb> and i mean _sucks_
[06:06] <NPC_Crystufer> Really?
[06:06] <spikeb> yep
[06:06] <NPC_Crystufer> I was gonna try it next.
[06:06] <NPC_Crystufer> :(
[06:07] <dli> intelikey, and the gentoo livecd is about 40MB, serves as a good rescue disk
[06:07] <NPC_Crystufer> Ubuntu is too heavy for my mac.
[06:07] <NPC_Crystufer> I wish there was dsl for mac.
[06:07] <intelikey> dli i use a two floppy distro for that.   have cd and 3.5"  bootables
[06:08] <dli> NPC_Crystufer, what about debian
[06:08] <spikeb> NPC_Crystufer, debian is a decent bet.
[06:08] <intelikey> dli i was trying to remember the name.  basic linux
[06:08] <NeverDream> tomsrtbt
[06:09] <NPC_Crystufer> I'm not worried about it. Most of my linux stuff works on OSX.
[06:09] <jazzanova> hi
[06:09] <NPC_Crystufer> Which is still a little heavy, but not too bad.
[06:09] <jazzanova> I am trying to install alsa-lib-jack-plugin but it is not available in ubuntu breezy.
[06:10] <intelikey> the "basic linux" distro plus testdisk and a few other apps = very good rescue package. works all in ram.   even on extreemly low end boxes.
[06:10] <brandon> is anybody running amsn right now?
[06:10] <NPC_Crystufer> But if anyone could tell me how to make it so that when i'm at the xterm and type "steam" it executes "./home/dsl/hdls_l/steam"
[06:10] <linux_galore> jazzanova: need to add universe
[06:11] <jazzanova> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main universe multiverse restricted
[06:11] <jazzanova> is this correct ? i have it in my sousrces file.
[06:11] <spikeb> who wanted to know about netinstall?
[06:11] <intelikey> NPC_Crystufer 'alias steam="/home/dsl/hdls_l/steam"'
[06:11] <spikeb> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-75372.html
[06:11] <amphi> NPC_Crystufer: alias steam='whatever'
[06:11] <Emmett-Studio> alias steam='./home/dsl/hdls_l/steam'
[06:11] <linux_galore> jazzanova: everything is available with apt-get
[06:11] <amphi> NPC_Crystufer: an absolute path is better
[06:12] <linux_galore> jazzanova: as long as you have the sources.list file setup
[06:12] <bthornton> Any routing pros in here?  I'm having a problem with VPNC where it will successfully connect to and authenticate against the VPN, but then I can't connect to anything (either on the VPN or otherwise).
[06:12] <iceman> wow .. OSX rocks on a Intel PC ...
[06:12] <NPC_Crystufer> Thanks. Guys.
[06:12] <jazzanova> i understant, but I can't find alsa lib jack package.
[06:12] <Emmett-Studio> I've got your jack package right here
[06:12] <linux_galore> iceman: yep nothing like running an OS thats twice as slow as Linux
[06:13] <jazzanova> apt-cache search alsa-lib-jack-plugin
[06:13] <intelikey> jazzanova apt-cache search jack | grep alsa
[06:13] <Emmett-Studio> linux_galore: Nothing like just making stuff up
[06:13] <silvaran> Emmett-Studio: Seriously, no.
[06:13] <ADRnLn> is it true that the PPC broadcom driver problem has been fixed?
[06:13] <linux_galore> Emmett-Studio: I dont have to make this up, want the benchmarks
[06:13] <iceman> linux_galore nope ... quite fast ... boots faster than linux ... not as much "unneeded" apps .... and not bad
[06:13] <jazzanova> libbio2jack0 ?
[06:13] <jazzanova> i don't think thats it.
[06:13] <amphi> Emmett-Studio: a mongrol bsd running as a monolithic task on top of mach is not going to be overly fast
[06:13] <linux_galore> iceman: sorry got the becnmarks to make a total liar of you
[06:13] <Emmett-Studio> Don't give me your benchmarks, give me your testing suite, I'll run the tests myself.
[06:14] <Emmett-Studio> Guys, no Linux apologists, please. I have been there, I have done that. I just doubt the veracity of the claim in its entirety.
[06:14] <iceman> linux_galore works quite fine for me ... and no bloat, and a simple install ability ...
[06:14] <NPC_Crystufer> Yay! alias worked.
[06:14] <Dr_Willis> I doubt the claims of anything  :P
[06:14] <Tedd> WOOT! I'm on Dapper! I have a question, though. I'm on Dapper 6.06- am I on Flight Five or Flight Six?
[06:14] <iceman> if only linux would get to point click = install ...
[06:14] <NPC_Crystufer> Now all I have to do is install admin mod!
[06:15] <linux_galore> iceman: its slow , for a simple reason, they had to compile for file size not speed
[06:15] <luke> iceman, i thought it was cool too
[06:15] <Emmett-Studio> linux_galore: That is an intense oversimplification.
[06:15] <linux_galore> OSX is very blaoted so they compiled to keep the memory footprint small, down side is its slow
[06:15] <amphi> linux_galore: mach is not renowned for its speed
[06:15] <intelikey> jazzanova is it; tty1 [root#~]  apt-cache search jack | grep alsa
[06:15] <intelikey> alsaplayer-jack - PCM player designed for ALSA (jack output module)
[06:15] <NoobSauce> iceman there is no need for point/click install... it's not like using a keyboard to navigate is hard... plus text is faster than gui anyways
[06:15] <Emmett-Studio> linux_galore: Seriously, I understand you're a fan of Linux, and I appreciate that. But you're just firing off stuff that isn't quite true.
[06:15] <iceman> Linux cannot become a user operating system tell the installers can become "point" click ... and done ...
[06:15] <silvaran> iceman: Cheers <clink> :)
[06:15] <intelikey> that that you are looking for ?
[06:16] <amphi> iceman: and... ?
[06:16] <luke> linux gui is still ugly
[06:16] <linux_galore> Emmett-Studio: lol sorry i dont have to prove anything, its a fact
[06:16] <jazzanova> intellikey: I already have it installed.
[06:16] <Emmett-Studio> linux_galore: You work on the OS X team?
[06:16] <iceman> i like linux ... would devote to it ... but command line tie's stil hurt it ...
[06:16] <jazzanova> look, I will show you whats the problem.
[06:16] <eggzeck> luke, "linux gui" That's an incorrect term :)
[06:16] <linux_galore> Emmett-Studio: no I used to work for apple I know how they work
[06:16] <luke> eggzeck, you know what I mean mate, Gnome/KDE
 Linux cannot become a user operating system tell the installers can become "point" click ... and done ... <--- good,  then i hope it never is.
[06:16] <silvaran> iceman: Synaptic's no good? ;)
[06:17] <eggzeck> iceman, no it does not. CMD gives it much power and beauty ;)
[06:17] <Emmett-Studio> linux_galore: Did you work for Apple on the OS X team? Did you work at NeXT, as well? You are making stuff up.
[06:17] <amphi> luke: so don't use 'em, or fix 'em
[06:17] <iceman> cant install every possible apt with apt-get ...
[06:17] <jazzanova> in my .asoundrc I have: pcm.jack { type jack; ... }
[06:17] <linux_galore> Emmett-Studio: not with next OS9 and the beginning of OSX
[06:17] <Emmett-Studio> I am *not* saying that Linux isn't great, and I'm not saying that OS X is awesome. What I am saying is that you're just making stuff up.
[06:17] <eggzeck> iceman, ? That makes no sense
[06:17] <amphi> iceman: 15,000 odd - and ./configure && make && make install is not very challenging
[06:18] <linux_galore> Emmett-Studio: they had some serious bloat problems and the fixes didnt speed things up much
[06:18] <Tedd> Can someone help me get 3ddesktop switcher running? I have an ATI 9800pro and it tells me to configure my hardware acceleration.
[06:18] <luke> amphi, i have and do. the whole "if u dont like it  then leave it" attitude really isnt very sensible
[06:18] <jazzanova> then, if I dboris@voronoi:~$ aplay -Djackplug out.wav
[06:18] <jazzanova> ALSA lib pcm.c:2052:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_jack.so
 i like linux ... would devote to it ... but command line tie's stil hurt it ...<--- of course the greatest and strongest point of any thing is always what hurts it.....   errr maybe not.
[06:18] <Dr_Willis> Tedd,  install the fglrx drivers yet?
[06:18] <sstchur> I ran into a problem where my wireless card was not visible after I ran apt-get dist-upgrade, I was able to get back online by choosing a previous version from the Grub bootloader.  I'd like to run the dist-upgrade again -- how can I be sure I won't lose my wireless card again?
[06:18] <iceman> People wand a very "K.I.S.S" enviorment ... "Keep - It - Simple - Stupid" and linux falls short there .... if that were to happen linux would clobber xp and osx ..
[06:18] <amphi> luke: I'm not one of those who feel everyone must use linux
[06:18] <Tedd> Dr_Willis, haven't you helped me with a problem before? And yes, I have :D
[06:18] <linux_galore> Emmett-Studio: also ive seen the source tree, lots or first class college grade bad code
[06:18] <jazzanova> where is alsa-lib stuff on ubuntu ?
[06:19] <Dr_Willis> Tedd,  want my advice.. dont worry about 3ddesktop  - its annoying :P
[06:19] <Emmett-Studio> linux_galore: See /msg for kind advice.
[06:19] <eggzeck> iceman, if you want your defined "K.I.S.S" stay with windows =)
[06:19] <luke> amphi, fair enough - i just think the gui needs some work
[06:19] <Dr_Willis> Tedd,  its aparently checking some dri option or similer.. and aint liking it..
[06:19] <intelikey> iceman linux already "clobbers" them   :)
[06:19] <jtd_> so at LEAST for Dapper, the Wiki install guide for mail servers is absolutely, positively, WRONG.
[06:19] <linux_galore> Emmett-Studio: so bad they what code Apple did donate the the KDE crew had to be redone because it was considered poor quality
[06:19] <Dr_Willis> windows  Not = KISS.
[06:19] <jtd_> I just followed it EXACTLY to the letter and it just.  doesn't.  work.
[06:19] <NPC_Crystufer> Okay, now how do I make a grub command so that dsl will boot into text mode and run the command steam?
[06:19] <amphi> luke: I'm sure it does - I don't use it overmuch myself - I can drag my xterms around ok in openbox ;)
[06:19] <iceman> not enough people are willing to learn command line to use linux ...
[06:20] <luke> amphi, lol
[06:20] <Emmett-Studio> linux_galore: I'm going to stop talking to you now for your own benefit.
[06:20] <amphi> iceman: so let them use something else
[06:20] <sambo619> i'm trying to patch my orinoco drivers to no avail, can anyone help me with this?
[06:20] <linux_galore> Emmett-Studio: your welcome, doesnt bother me
[06:20] <sorcre> Hello, when I boot up Ubuntu lilo boots linux right away (without giving me a choise) How can I change this from the config file?
[06:20] <Tedd> Dr_Willis, any idea how to fix it?
[06:20] <intelikey> iceman linux is, and never was about being the most popular.   if it ever falls to that level, i'll abandon it like i did windows.
[06:20] <linux_galore> Emmett-Studio: havent even started with project stuff ups yet
[06:20] <DBO> sorcre, did you install lilo yourself?
[06:21] <iceman> and if more people were to "start" using and contribuiting to a low cost linux distro, linux would grow imencely ...
[06:21] <Dr_Willis> Tedd,  does your 3d games work good? Chedked the 3ddesktop homepage? it had a Huge FAQ last i looked.
[06:21] <sorcre> DBO: I installed Lilo instead of Grub from the install CD
[06:21] <daryl> I just upgraded one of my computers to Dapper, and I no longer have a GUI interface.  how do i get it back?
[06:21] <amphi> iceman: why does it need to 'grow'?
[06:21] <Tedd> iceman: but that will never work.
[06:21] <intelikey> iceman but the growth you are talking about wouldn't really improve linux any.
[06:22] <iceman> to gain a point and click installer would not hurt linux... keep a command line ability for the power users ....
[06:22] <Tedd> I hate to say it. I really do, iceman. But when it comes right down to it the vast, vast majority of people are lazy (and stupid).
[06:22] <luke> if linux user base expands it will help it hugely. companies will be forced to support it
[06:22] <eggzeck> iceman, synaptic ;)
[06:22] <iceman> Tedd exactly
[06:22] <linux_galore> iceman: already got that, its called klick
[06:22] <Tedd> luke: I'll agree there
[06:22] <DBO> socre, look for /etc/lilo.conf or /boot/lilo/lilo.conf or something named lilo.conf somewhere (run find / -name lilo.conf if you must)
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> then thres that click-and-run :P
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> but synaptic works better then that.
[06:22] <luke> eggzeck, user experience is made up of more than one app :)
[06:22] <linux_galore> there are actually a few point and click installers for Linux
[06:23] <amphi> luke: if that just means more binary blobs in the kernel, we're better off with RE IMHO
[06:23] <intelikey> iceman there are distros with "point and click installers"  mandriva comes to mind.  has been for 5/6 years now.  you are talking out the side of your head.
[06:23] <iceman> Ubuntu comes so close, to point click .. go ...
[06:23] <linux_galore> just download the package and kick, unpacks does a security check, pretty mcuh the same as windows
[06:23] <iceman> LOKI Softwae had the installer down well
[06:23] <sorcre> DBO: I already opened that file. I can't find the section to give me an option
[06:23] <jazzanova> ok, i figured out that I need package: libasound2-plugins
[06:23] <DBO> sorcre, put it in pastebin
[06:23] <jazzanova> which is not in breezy.
[06:23] <mythica> Can someone tell me how i would make my /dev/dsp1 the default sound card?
[06:23] <eggzeck> luke, I don't care heh, I'm command-line freak.
[06:23] <stagger> hi there
[06:24] <iceman> I just refuse to dish out $150 plus for XPPRO or every time i change pc's
[06:24] <DBO> sorcre, you are looking for a line that says timeout, change that to 200 (it will then wait 20 seconds)
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> I dont see the need for XP Pro at all.
[06:24] <sorcre> DBO: http://pastebin.com/703010
[06:24] <daryl> I just upgraded one of my computers to Dapper, and I no longer have a GUI interface.  how do i get it back?
[06:24] <stagger> i noticed that from time to time there is process called "find
[06:24] <eggzeck> iceman, yeah that sucks.
[06:24] <iceman> so a alternative os
[06:24] <eggzeck> but I think we're a tab bit offtopic
[06:24] <iceman> PRo is just faster than xphome
[06:24] <eggzeck> !offtopic
[06:24] <ubotu> Non Ubuntu support related discussions may be carried out in the channel #ubuntu-offtopic. Editor/Language wars are welcome there!
[06:24] <sambo619> can anyone help me patch my orinoco drivers?
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> iceman,  id like to see proof of that statement.
[06:24] <stagger> i noticed that from time to time there is process called "find" runned as a "nobody" user. What for is that? do i need it? how can i turn it off?
[06:24] <sorcre> DBO: I know how to change the timeout... It doesn't do anything though. I can't change my options (in fact, I am not even given an option)
[06:24] <intelikey> Dr_Willis i don't even see the need for point and click   hehhe
[06:24] <jazzanova> what is Dapper ?
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> intelikey,  yep.
[06:25] <iceman> i have used both ...
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> intelikey,  that 'klick' seems to work 'ok' the few times ive used it.
[06:25] <daryl> jazzanova, upgrade from breezy badger.
[06:25] <mythica> Sorry but does anyone know how i would make my /dev/dsp1 the default sound card?
[06:25] <linux_galore> klik  simple software installer for Linux -> http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=12841
[06:25] <sorcre> DBO: It waits the timeout then boots linux (no menu or anything)
[06:25] <DBO> sorcre, oop, yours uses delay=20, which means it is waiting to seconds, change line 71 to read delay=100
[06:25] <mythica> I tried disabling it at boot
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> intelikey,  and it would be nice if that CLick-and-run stuff from that linxpire stuff got used. (perhaps some day)
[06:25] <jazzanova> ah, ok.
[06:25] <DBO> sorcre, ok, you arent the first one to have this problem...  not sure on a fix though
[06:25] <DBO> sorcre, last person who came through here with this issue ended up moving to GRUB
[06:25] <intelikey> ^5 Dr_Willis :)
[06:26] <linux_galore> PCbsd has a good idea you just go to a website look at the program them click on an icon and it installs the software
[06:26] <jell> teuhh
[06:26] <linux_galore> then*
[06:26] <jell> Did something happen last night?
[06:26] <jell> I woke up and had now ubuntu is all messed up
[06:26] <intelikey> but at any rate.      WHO GOT OVER LOOKED DURRING THE RANT ?
[06:26] <sorcre> DBO: I'm going to try something, brb.
[06:27] <jell> was a segmentation fault
[06:27] <amphi> intelikey: which rant?
[06:27] <intelikey> iceman's
[06:27] <jell> then when I rebooted it's all messed up now
[06:27] <amphi> jell: what segfaulted?
[06:27] <jell> amphi, I don't remember where is the log?
[06:27] <daryl> I just upgraded one of my computers to Dapper, and I no longer have a GUI interface.  how do i get it back?
[06:27] <amphi> jell: logs are in /var/log, but segfaults aren't logged
[06:28] <intelikey> daryl you can try an   sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:28] <daryl> intelikey, thanks i'll try it right now
[06:28] <jell> The theme is all messed up and the automatic update feature won't work correctly
[06:29] <amphi> the theme is not important - how is the 'automatic update' not working correctly?
[06:29] <jell> as soon as I click install it just reloads the database
[06:29] <jell> instead of downloading and installing the updates
[06:29] <Tedd> Dr_Willis, you're right, screw it :P
[06:30] <jell> I am gonna try to reboot, I will be right back.
[06:30] <Dr_Willis> Tedd,  plus when that XGL stuff gets out. it will make 3ddesktop look pathic.
[06:30] <AlmtyBob> to install SSH, is it "sudo apt-get ssh"?
[06:30] <intelikey> jell  you can just cycle
[06:30] <Dr_Willis> !ssh
[06:30] <ubotu> hmm... ssh is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SSHHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdvancedOpenSSH
[06:30] <babo> Hey, where's pine gone ? It's not in my repos ?
[06:30] <mythica> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=146505
[06:30] <Tedd> Dr_Willis, XGL is my greatest enemy. I could never get it working on Dapper before, maybe they updated the ATI instructions
[06:30] <mythica>  I dont understand exactly ahat i need to set where - could someone read that link and help me please ?
[06:31] <PwcrLinux> Hello
[06:31] <daryl> intelikey, woot it fixed it! thanks man!
[06:31] <amphi> babo: is pine in the repos? it wasn't in debian before, for licensing reasons
[06:32] <intelikey> np daryl
[06:32] <AlmtyBob> thanks Dr_Willis
[06:32] <amphi> babo: mutt is Better(TM) anyway ;)
[06:32] <linux_galore> Ive got XGL on my laptop, keep getting accosted by people on the train/bus  ooh that nice what is it, then I flip the desktop with the cube and they drool
[06:32] <babo> amphi: ok cool thanks ... isn't pine under the GPL ?
[06:32] <amphi> babo: not IIRC
[06:32] <jazzanova> so documentation says that libasound2-plugins should be in universe, but I don't see it.
[06:33] <amphi> linux_galore: hope you've got a drool-proof keyboard ;)
[06:33] <babo> amphi: what's IIRC ... ?
[06:33] <linux_galore> amphi: lol
[06:33] <jtd_> babo: there are no good console mail clients, so give up looking for them.
[06:33] <jtd_> mutt is pretty terrible and amazingly confusing
[06:33] <amphi> babo: "if I recall correctly" - install the bsdgames package and use wtf for such things
[06:33] <amphi> jtd_: mutt is excellent
[06:34] <intelikey> jtd_ my thoughts made public
[06:34] <linux_galore> even more funky when I windows on one side of the cube under vmware and I flip between windows and Linux
[06:34] <jtd_> amphi: mutt is excellent for the type of person who loves vi.
[06:34] <babo> I like emacs ...
[06:34] <sivik-busy-poker> what is ViM?
[06:34] <amphi> jtd_: how did you guess? mutt spawns vim here for mail composition ;)
[06:34] <jtd_> Ubuntu is Linux for Humans.  mutt is not for mere humans ;)
[06:34] <jtd_> amphi: bingo :)
[06:34] <jazzanova> vi-improved
[06:35] <linux_galore> likes*
[06:35] <babo> but I can use mutt from emacs ?
[06:35] <intelikey> Sivik man vim
[06:35] <Sivik> what is some free VM ware?
[06:35] <jtd_> amphi: yeah.  see, that shouldn't be.
[06:35] <jazzanova> sivi: emu
[06:35] <Sivik> vi improved
[06:35] <linux_galore> Sivik: its a virtual machine emulator
[06:35] <jtd_> I mean, way to go that you know the client that well
[06:35] <Sivik> ok
[06:35] <amphi> jtd_: it's mostly comments, a sample one I tweaked
[06:35] <jtd_> but mutt is not for someone who wants PINE.
[06:35] <Sivik> no entry for emu
[06:35] <jtd_> mailx is better than mutt for someone who wants PINE.
[06:35] <jazzanova> sivik: holdon.
[06:36] <wizzlefish> When I copied some data from a CD, it came in as read-only, so I did "sudo chmod -R 777 ~/". I thought I knew what I was doinog, but as it turns out, my .dmrc file needs to have 644 permissions. So I did "sudo chmod 644 ~/". But that gave me even more errors. Any ideas?
[06:36] <amphi> jtd_: and why shouldn't it be? as long as a distro provides a sane default muttrc
[06:36] <linux_galore> emu works pretty well with win98 stuff
[06:36] <intelikey> or you could open your mail in your cli web browser
[06:36] <Sivik> does emu work with other linux distros?
[06:36] <linux_galore> Sivik: yes
[06:36] <jazzanova> sivik: its qemu
[06:36] <silvaran> wizzlefish: find <path> -type d | xargs chmod 0755; find <path> -type f | xargs chmod 0644
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> emu? what emu?
[06:36] <jtd_> it's incredibly difficult to learn, amphi.  PINE is easily understood right out of the box.
[06:36] <jazzanova> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QEMU
[06:36] <amphi> jtd_: only 136 lines with comments stripped ;)
[06:37] <jazzanova> qemu is cool.
[06:37] <linux_galore> Dr_Willis: click on link ^^
[06:37] <amphi> jtd_: I agree, pine is much more discoverable
[06:37] <Emmett-Studio> but pine isn't GPL, which means it's obviously the E-mail client of baby-raping capitalists
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> qemu - on. :P
[06:37] <Sivik> how does a os emulator work"
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> ive used qemu  - just cant get the networking feature working.
[06:37] <amphi> jtd_: but it's really not very hard to learn
[06:37] <intelikey> amphi dcc.send me a copy of it...... errr if it don't have passwords and stuff in it
[06:37] <Sivik> is it an emulator or a VM?
[06:37] <jazzanova> sivik: its like vmware.
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> some would say that a Emulator is a virtual machine. :P
[06:38] <linux_galore> you can get vmware free too these days
[06:38] <amphi> intelikey: if you install mutt, you should have the same or similar under /usr/share/mutt
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> then ya got xen - which is a totally different beast
[06:38] <amphi> intelikey: er, /usr/share/doc/mutt
[06:38] <jazzanova> sivik: it works as fast.
[06:38] <amphi> Dr_Willis: vde.sf.net makes that a lot simpler, FWIW
[06:38] <intelikey> amphi but i have no /usr/share/doc
[06:38] <Sivik> jazzanova: what, the qemu or the xen?
[06:38] <jazzanova> sivik: qemu
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> amphi,  oh? cool. let me lookit. :P
[06:38] <amphi> intelikey: how curious
[06:39] <jazzanova> sivik: haven't tried xen.
[06:39] <intelikey> 610m hdd
[06:39] <Sivik> jazzanova: with qemu, do you install the os viturally and run it like you would with vmware?
[06:39] <DBO> Sivik, qemu is fast, KQemu is probably faster than vmware
[06:39] <intelikey> space is important
[06:39] <jazzanova> sivik: if you want linux inside linux, try vserver. I am using it.
[06:39] <Sivik> jazzanova: hum, ok
[06:39] <Sivik> jazzanova: like FC 5 in ubuntu
[06:39] <linux_galore> qemu is very fast just not as polished as vmware
[06:39] <amphi> Dr_Willis: I've used that to 'network' qemu hosted netbsd, plan9, and hurd 'machines' ;)
[06:39] <jazzanova> i don't know whats FC
[06:39] <Sivik> fedora core
[06:39] <jazzanova> ah
[06:40] <Sivik> i need to figure out how to use XEN
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> amphi,  yea - the whole 'tun' stuff sort of had me confused.. so i diddnet researhc it much.. sad that i want to use qemu to just run win98 for a few little apps. :p
[06:40] <jazzanova> sivik: yeah, you can use vserver for that.
[06:40] <intelikey> fc5=fedora core version 5     a fedora is a hat by the way.
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> brb
[06:40] <Sivik> jazzanova: is it a stand alone?
[06:40] <linux_galore> saw a video of someone running OSX/two versions of Linux and Windows on a single machine and flipping between them
[06:41] <jtd_> dear Dovecot: I hate you.  sincerely, jtd.
[06:41] <jazzanova> vserver doesn't emulate anything. its as fast as the host.
[06:41] <Sivik> jazzanova: how does it work?
[06:41] <wizzlefish> silvaran: the first <path> would be "~/" and the second <path> "~/.dmrc," correct?
[06:42] <intelikey> syntax
[06:42] <jazzanova> sivik: its kindof a smart chroot.
[06:42] <intelikey> path is ~/ in both exapmles.   .dmrc is a file
[06:42] <jazzanova> sivik: your vhost will seem like a separate computer.
[06:43] <Sivik> jazzanova: i just want to be able to run FC 5 on top of ubuntu without having to restart
[06:43] <babo> apt-get install gnus ... doesn't install the man page ?
[06:43] <jazzanova> but its processes are running along side processes of the main host..
[06:43] <jazzanova> sivik: i would give vserver a try.
[06:43] <jtd_> screw it.  maybe I should just use maildirs and Courier.
[06:44] <jazzanova> with vserver there is no speed loss.
[06:44] <Sivik> ok
[06:44] <intelikey> maildirs + less
[06:45] <jazzanova> how can I searc for all source packages ?
[06:45] <intelikey> jazzanova man apt-cache
[06:45] <intelikey> jazzanova apt-cache search is your frined
[06:45] <Sivik> jazzanova: how do i download to use vserver
[06:45] <wizzlefish> I was customizing the top panel and the GAIM tray icon disappeared, along with the little separator between the clock and the rest of the panel. How do I get it back?
[06:46] <yggdrasil> got 2 questions. how can i ping my entire subnet to see wich ips are taken (lost some equipment printers and stuff) and whats the best console based web browesr ?
[06:46] <Sivik> jazzanova: when i do a apt-cache search vserver, there is nothing called vserver, there is kernel-patch-vserver, util-vserver and vserver-debiantools
[06:46] <Sivik> which one do i need
[06:46] <intelikey> wizzlefish right click the pannel and add it
[06:46] <jazzanova> http://linux-vserver.org is the homepage.
[06:46] <Sivik> yeah, i'm there as well
[06:47] <jazzanova> sivik: you need all of them.
[06:47] <Sivik> ok
[06:47] <wizzlefish> intelikey: it's not there in the list
[06:47] <jazzanova> you should find a howto for ubuntu.
[06:47] <jazzanova> you need to make sure that you kernel has vserver patch in it.
[06:47] <Sivik> jazzanova: k
[06:47] <intelikey> yggdrasil best is subjective.  i like  links
[06:48] <yggdrasil> links
[06:48] <yggdrasil> well ive lost faith in lynx
[06:48] <intelikey> yggdrasil yeah.   links2   to be more exact.
[06:48] <jtd_> use elinks
[06:48] <yggdrasil> elinks ?
[06:49] <amphi> yggdrasil: I like w3m
[06:49] <intelikey> links2 also has graphics mode   links2 -g   does frames and pictures
[06:49] <yggdrasil> ok well ill try em all
[06:49] <yggdrasil> i jsut have a console
[06:49] <amphi> console is very relaxing
[06:49] <intelikey> yggdrasil like i said "best" is subjective.
[06:50] <intelikey> one can do  wget <url> | html2txt | less
[06:50] <intelikey> hehhe but why.
[06:50] <amphi> intelikey: ah, the plan 9 style browser ;)
[06:51] <jazzanova> i still don't know how to search from source packages ?
[06:51] <intelikey> glenda ?
[06:51] <jazzanova> search through
[06:51] <amphi> yeah
[06:51] <Tedd> n the XGL/Compiz on ATI thread it says something about a "main thread for setting up your xorg.conf." What "main thread" are they talking about?
[06:51] <amphi> jazzanova: you can the source package corresponding to any binary package, assuming all is well with sources.list
[06:52] <amphi> jazzanova: er, can get
[06:52] <jazzanova> amphi: for instance, there is no binary package alsa-lib.
[06:52] <intelikey> tedd i would assume the higherarchial page that points to that one.
[06:52] <wendigo> elinks = tabbed console browsing :)
[06:52] <jazzanova> i want to see all alsa related sousrce packages.
[06:52] <amphi> jazzanova: there's such a binary package?
[06:52] <intelikey> elinks is links with an ugly white back ground.
[06:52] <jazzanova> this is libasound2
[06:53] <jazzanova> alsa-lib makes libasound2
[06:53] <Tedd> intelikey, so would I- it would seem we are both wrong
[06:53] <steel> OK, I installed Ubuntu on my second HD (windows is unaltered on the first) and grub asks me to configure and I let it configure for windows xp professional and ubuntu. I take out my second hard drive (the one with ubuntu on it). I assumed all the grub data was on the ubuntu hard drive, but it wasn't. When I try to boot into windows, it now says; "GRUB loading, please wait...." then the next line is "Error 21". How do i fix this?
[06:53] <wendigo> intelikey: elinks can be set to any colour you like. and it has tabbed browsing like firefox, unlike links
[06:53] <amphi> jazzanova: you can't get a source package of libasound2 ?
[06:54] <intelikey> wendigo tabbed in console ?
[06:54] <Bef> How do I set default applications?
[06:54] <Salty> hi all
[06:54] <Bef> right clcik -> open with doesn't always work
[06:54] <jazzanova> amphi: the soursce pcakgas of libasound2 is alsa-lib.
[06:54] <jazzanova> amphi: but I am looking for alsa2jack lib.
[06:54] <Salty> im hoping someone can help me; im running Ubuntu from LiveCD and am trying to install to an External HD - i cant find Espresso, anyone have any ideas/
[06:54] <jazzanova> amphi: alsa-lib used to generate libasound2-plugins
[06:54] <Sivik> where can i find keys for www.beerorkid.com and ubuntu.uni-klu.ac.at
[06:54] <intelikey> wendigo remember the question was "'best' console mode webgrowser"
[06:55] <amphi> jazzanova: apt-get source libasound2 will install alsalib2
[06:55] <wendigo> intelikey: yep, you can have multiple tabbed windows open at the same time in elinks. just like firefox, except it's less bloated
[06:55] <jazzanova> amphi: but it seems that in breezy it no longer does.
[06:55] <tuxuser19> can any one please tell me how to enable CUPS web interface in Ubuntu Breezy ?
[06:55] <amphi> jazzanova: ah... I'm on debian ATM ;)
[06:55] <wendigo> intelikey: elinks is console mode
[06:55] <joewag> Does anyone out there use Frostwire?
[06:55] <tuxuser19> it asks for user-id & pwd when i type in localhost:631
[06:55] <intelikey> tabs in console.... hmmmm i'll have to revisit elinks.
[06:55] <DBO> Steel, have you changed your hardware configuration since installing ubuntu?
[06:55] <Flannel> intelikey: I have multiple "tabs" open in screen, and then further "tabs" open in irssi ;)
[06:55] <tuxuser19> but when I type the normal user or root login's nothing works
[06:56] <intelikey> flannel can you describe the tabs please ?   what colour are they ?
[06:57] <intelikey> :)
[06:57] <wendigo> intelikey: it also has cookies and much better javascript/options
[06:57] <steel> i dont even have ubuntu installed anymore, i took out the hard drive that had it
[06:57] <jtd_> ok, so I changed to Courier, but now when it sends an email it hangs forever trying to move the email I send to the Sent Mail folder.  anyone know why?
[06:57] <intelikey> wendigo links does cokies   and java script
[06:57] <intelikey> cookies
[06:57] <steel> and remnants of GRUB still remain
[06:58] <wendigo> intelikey: elinks has better javascript support, it uses the spidermonkey engine
[06:58] <steel> any idea on how to remove the rest of it?
[06:58] <jmoncayo> how can i make programs to continue runing when i logout from ssh??
[06:59] <Flannel> intelikey: heh, they're whatever color I want them to be.  In screens case theyre white for active, and blue for not, and for irssi theyre based on activity.
[06:59] <intelikey> steel " remnants of GRUB still remain"   you mean the mbr on your boot disk
[06:59] <steel> uhh, maybe? mbr means what?
[06:59] <wendigo> intelikey: it's all about preference i guess, but i do like the tabbed browsing in elinks, that gives it a big edge over links
[06:59] <Sivik> steel: master boot record
[07:00] <steel> probably, i just let grub auto-configure it, and it worked until i took out the hard drive with ubuntu on it
[07:01] <Sivik> steel: then you are going to have to go in and edit the grub
[07:01] <Sivik> found in the /boot foder
[07:01] <intelikey> Flannel i'm in doubt that you are talking about console....  i know a little about screen.  and i can't say that there is no way to make it display a tab  but i have never seen one.
[07:01] <Flannel> intelikey: hardstatus,
[07:01] <steel> how do i do that?
[07:02] <intelikey> Sivik not if the only hdd has windows on it.   steel will need to  fixmbr from windows
[07:02] <intelikey> flannel k.
[07:03] <jazzanova> http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/libs/libasound2 <-- it says here that libasound2-plugins is not available. Why ?
[07:05] <firebird619> Could someone help me with a sound problem I'm having since installing GnomeRadio? Everything to do with the TV Tuner is now full of static and very loud although the volume settings are low.
[07:05] <Sivik> jazzanova: how does one install and run a os from vserver?
[07:05] <jmoncayo> how can i make a normal user to be able to mount and write to vfat partition??
[07:06] <Sivik> you can't
[07:06] <Sivik> you have to be in sudo or su -
[07:06] <^thehatsrule^> can't you?
[07:06] <jazzanova> sivik: vserver enter "name"
[07:06] <Sivik> ?
[07:06] <Tarantulafudge> I found out the issue with my mp3, was that somehow it had merged with some other mp3s
[07:06] <jazzanova> or something like that.
[07:06] <^thehatsrule^> in /etc/fstab or somehting
[07:06] <Sivik> will there be a man for vserver?
[07:06] <Sivik> once i get it installed
[07:07] <mDot> just installed xgl/compix am i stuck with this window theme?
[07:07] <Flannel> intelikey: http://www.trollgod.org.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/screenrc.png
[07:07] <intelikey> jmoncayo add  '/dev/hd?# /mount/point vfat defaults,user,users,noauto,umask=0 0 0"   in the /etc/fstab   inturpret ? # and mount point   as fit your needs
[07:07] <jazzanova> you should look into "vserver redhat guest" documentation.
[07:07] <jazzanova> online.
[07:07] <intelikey> flannel  view that from console :)
[07:08] <jazzanova> is there a ubuntu developer channel ?
[07:08] <madmancanuck> Anybody tried converting a Toshiba 2450-3DY to Ubuntu?
[07:08] <intelikey> jazzanova sort of   #ubuntu+1
[07:08] <intelikey> jazzanova sort of   #ubuntu-dev
[07:08] <intelikey> i think
[07:09] <jazzanova> thanks :)
[07:09] <jmoncayo> intelikey, should i put the rw,noauto,...... too?
[07:09] <intelikey> jmoncayo it will be rw by default.
[07:09] <intelikey> but you can add it.
[07:10] <intelikey> jmoncayo that is covered in defaults,
[07:10] <Flannel> intelikey: eh? I dont have a GUI.  What problem?  You need to include alwayshardstatus not just hardstatus, to make it always be on the bottom, instead of the titlebar.
[07:10] <Sivik> jazzanova: i installed everything
[07:10] <Sivik> jazzanova: now i have to figure out how to install and run FC 5 from vserver
[07:10] <jmoncayo> intelikey, oki thanks a lot
[07:11] <steel> how do i fix my mbr from windows when i can't boot into windows?
[07:11] <Flannel> intelikey: erm, I mean, alwayslastline intsead of just normal lastline
[07:11] <intelikey> steel why can you not boot into windows ?
[07:11] <intelikey> Flannel ok
[07:11] <steel> grub loading error 21
[07:12] <jazzanova> sivik: you should be able to download a redhad guest image.
[07:12] <intelikey> oh,  boot the recovery disk
[07:12] <intelikey> you did get the windows recovery disk with your os ?
[07:12] <wendigo> steel: use recovery cd and boot into recovery console, then type fdisk /fixmbr
[07:13] <Sivik> jazzanova: but doesn't that involve having FC 5 already installed in the system?
[07:13] <wendigo> or is it just fixmbr, one of those anyways
[07:13] <steel> recovery cd for ubuntu?
[07:14] <wendigo> steel: windows recovery cd
[07:14] <Sivik> steel: windows, the windows recovery disc
[07:14] <steel> i dont have one of those
[07:14] <Sivik> what version of winblows
[07:14] <^thehatsrule^> you just boot the windows cd :p
[07:15] <linux_galore> nice link 5,000 Laptop Linux installs howto's -> http://tuxmobil.org/mylaptops.html
[07:15] <sorcre> Hello, apt-get has been acting very weird since I used Easy Ubuntu to install quick codecs...I'm getting a lot of errors when I run it.. is there a way to reinstall it?
[07:15] <wendigo> steel: a msdos startup disk will probably do, provided it has fdisk on it
[07:15] <steel> uhh i dont have one of those
[07:15] <^thehatsrule^> no windows cd nor windows bootdisk?
[07:15] <steel> i have a windows cd
[07:15] <^thehatsrule^> win98?
[07:15] <Sivik> steel: then you can do it through that
[07:16] <steel> just set it to boot from cd?
[07:16] <Sivik> go like your going to install windows and do repair rather than install
[07:16] <Sivik> yes
[07:16] <^thehatsrule^> yes
[07:16] <Sivik> and go into repair mode
[07:16] <Sivik> and then type what was posted earlier about the mbr
[07:16] <babo> arrghh... is there any way to change the FROM and NAME headers in the mail program ... ?
[07:16] <wendigo> you go into recovery console, not repair :)
[07:16] <steel> thanks guys
[07:17] <steel> recovery console? i dont remember that being an option
[07:17] <wendigo> steel: should be, you using xp right?
[07:17] <steel> yea
[07:17] <Sivik> steel: it is
[07:17] <steel> ok
[07:17] <intelikey> wendigo msdos boot disk will not fix win xp mbr
[07:17] <intelikey> ok
[07:17] <Sivik> just boot the winblows cd and go into repiar console
[07:19] <wendigo> intelikey: the fixmbr is a function of fdisk, which is a utility provided on msdos startup disks created in xp

[07:21] <Bef> ok so now I have Ubuntu installed, what do I do with it?
[07:21] <Igoens> Hello ....
[07:21] <Sivik> Bef: what are you trying to do
[07:21] <Sivik> Igoens: hi
[07:21] <Bef> just fooling around with it really.. home use
[07:22] <Bef> I should get some wardriving utils installed
[07:22] <overrider> so when will i be able to install ubuntu nicely on my macbook?  :-)
[07:22] <Sivik> overrider: did you look for a ppc of ubuntu?
[07:23] <imbrandon> overrider:  i have ubuntu dapper on my macbook pro with bootcamp just fine ;)
[07:23] <Sivik> overrider: its a ppc right
[07:23] <imbrandon> macbook == intel version
[07:24] <overrider> yes its intel
[07:24] <cyphase> how can you make QT applications look like GTk apps?
[07:24] <overrider> imbrandon, what, it installs just via bootcamp?
[07:24] <overrider> or did you do anything special
[07:24] <imbrandon> yup overrider
[07:24] <Sivik> overrider: then you can just install ubuntu via a i386 iso
[07:24] <imbrandon> nope nothing speacial
[07:25] <Salty> im hoping someone can help me; im running Ubuntu from LiveCD and am trying to install to an External HD - i cant find Espresso, anyone have any ideas/
[07:25] <Sivik> download the image, burn, and install
[07:25] <^thehatsrule^> cyphase: use a similar theme
[07:25] <cyphase> hmm
[07:25] <wendigo> cyphase: KDE does that automatically for you
[07:25] <cyphase> i'm in gnome
[07:25] <imbrandon> Sivik:  not exactly , macbooks do some funny efi stuff he will need bootcamp
[07:25] <cyphase> i know there's a package to make gtk look like qt, but nt ice versa
[07:25] <cyphase> not vice*
[07:26] <protocol1> I thought about getting a ibook
[07:26] <Sivik> imbrandon: even the new intel macs?
[07:26] <wendigo> cyphase: well, KDE forces gtk apps to use qt themes, so ye, there probably is a way
[07:26] <imbrandon> cyphase: you could always install "klearlooks" it looks like the "clearlooks" for gnome
[07:26] <Sivik> imbrandon: i have a friend with a mini and he just installed the ppc version of ubuntu without a problem
[07:26] <imbrandon> Sivik: yes
[07:26] <Sivik> imbrandon: then whats the problem with the new intels and the regular i386
[07:27] <yggdrasil> how do i copy multiple folders that have subfolders ?thru cmd line. ??
[07:27] <imbrandon> Sivik: the macos needs direct access to the efi stuff
[07:27] <Sivik> ah
[07:27] <^thehatsrule^> yggdrasil: cp -R
[07:27] <jroes> yggdrasil: cp -R
[07:27] <jroes> damn, beat
[07:27] <yggdrasil> thnks
[07:27] <^thehatsrule^> heh ;p
[07:27] <Sivik> why don't i have 3d acc when i have the correct info in fglrxinfo?
[07:27] <overrider> imbrandon, is dapper version 5.10?
[07:27] <jroes> 5.10 is breezy
[07:27] <imbrandon> no that breezy
[07:28] <cyphase> i was thinking something like making qt apps call gtk
[07:28] <imbrandon> dapper is 6.06
[07:28] <overrider> ah ok, its still beta
[07:28] <^thehatsrule^> Sivik: what's the render output in fglrxinfo?
[07:28] <imbrandon> overrider: yea buts its very stable i've been running it for months
[07:28] <protocol1> is there a way to fix the jittery play on some mplayer streams?
[07:28] <mDot> video plays back really poorly after installing xgl/compiz any ideas?
[07:28] <Sivik> ^thehatsrule^: what is the render output
[07:29] <wendigo> sivik: use glrxinfo | grep direct to determine if you have 3d accelleration enabled
[07:29] <AnAnt> I have a problem in Ubuntu, when I set the LANG=en_US , I get this error (http://pastebin.com/702139)
[07:29] <protocol1> i like play streams from cnn and other windows media sites and the playback is jittery
[07:29] <MistaED> cyphase: best theme by far for Qt/KDE to make it look like gnome is QtCurve with the freecurve theme
[07:29] <wendigo> sivik: use glxinfo | grep direct *
[07:29] <^thehatsrule^> Sivik: it should have like Opengl Renderer String: <paste this info here>
[07:29] <MistaED> as well as a dapper colour scheme
[07:29] <Sivik> direct rendering yet
[07:30] <wendigo> sivik: then it's enabled
[07:30] <cyphase> MistaED, i know, but i'm looking for something that makes qt call gtk to render
[07:30] <Sivik> RADEON XPRESS 200M Series SW TCL Generic
[07:30] <Sivik> but when i run the glxgears, i don't get over 1000 fps
[07:30] <Sivik> just around 910
[07:30] <^thehatsrule^> oh heh thats fine.
[07:30] <^thehatsrule^> integrated chips arent known to be running well under anything but windows.
[07:30] <Sivik> let me install and run ppracer
[07:30] <wendigo> sivik: upgrade your driver to the latest version
[07:31] <^thehatsrule^> running fgl_glxgears is the real test
[07:31] <Sivik> the ati driver?  i just installed the newest one
[07:31] <Sivik> ^thehatsrule^: i have to install it first
[07:31] <wendigo> sivik: check the ati website and see if it's the lastest driver
[07:31] <^thehatsrule^> 8.24?
[07:32] <Sivik> wendigo: i downloaded it today
[07:32] <Sivik> 8.24.8
[07:32] <wendigo> sivik: from the ati site?
[07:32] <^thehatsrule^> but like i said, integrated chipsets arent very good anyhow :/
[07:33] <wendigo> sivik: it could just be your card/chipset then
[07:33] <Sivik> wendigo: how do i tell if its working right or not
[07:33] <Sivik> the fgl-glxgears doesn't work right
[07:33] <wendigo> sivik: if you get 1k fps it's working right
[07:34] <Sivik> wendigo: i'm getting around 910
[07:34] <wendigo> sivik: thats still higher than you would get without acceleration
[07:34] <Sivik> ok
[07:35] <Sivik> but whats a good way to test it with a game?
[07:35] <steel> when i'm in the recovery console for windows it asks me which windows installation i would like to log into, what do i type?
[07:35] <^thehatsrule^> Sivik: maybe `cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep (EE)`
[07:36] <Sivik> ok
[07:36] <wendigo> sivik: a good test is to run mplayer using -vo xv as the video output driver
[07:36] <^thehatsrule^> just to double check for errors... if there was..
[07:36] <SpongeBob> hi everyone!
[07:37] <Sivik> what is a drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns - 1023?
[07:37] <wendigo> direct rendering manager
[07:37] <Sivik> does that have to do with the gl stuff?
[07:37] <Sivik> ok
[07:37] <^thehatsrule^> oh thats ok..
[07:37] <i3dmaster> how to apply a new kdm theme?
[07:38] <Sivik> no matching visual for __GLcontextMode with visual class = 1 (32774), nplanes = 24
[07:38] <wendigo> Sivik: you might also want to check your xorg.conf to make sure it's setup right
[07:38] <Sivik> ok
[07:38] <Sivik> how do i know if its set correctly or not
[07:39] <wendigo> Sivik: well, fglrxconfig can be used to reconfigure it for you
[07:39] <Sivik> the OpenGLOverlay is off
[07:39] <Sivik> would it work right if i turned that on?
[07:40] <wendigo> Sivik: na, you don't need that
[07:40] <Sivik> ok
[07:40] <Sivik> then what else should it say?
[07:40] <wendigo> Sivik: make sure videooverlay is on though
[07:40] <Sivik> "VideoOverlay" "on"
[07:41] <wendigo> Sivik: and you have a DRI section with a mode of 0666
[07:41] <Sivik> yes
[07:42] <^thehatsrule^> shouldnt use fglrxconfig anymore
[07:42] <^thehatsrule^> its aticonfig
[07:42] <wendigo> Sivik: then the only thing you can do is either live with it, or run fglrxconfig and see if it fixes it
[07:42] <Sivik> ^thehatsrule^: where?
[07:43] <Sivik> how do i run aticonfig?
[07:43] <jtd_> does anyone know how I can reconfigure Apache in Dapper to accomodate UserDirs?
[07:44] <wendigo> Sivik: fglrxconfig, though you should back up your current xorg.conf
[07:44] <^thehatsrule^> oh, you dont have aticonfig?
[07:44] <Sivik> yea, i don't have aticonfig
[07:44] <^thehatsrule^> interesting.
[07:44] <Sivik> i do, but it runs in terminal and not as a gui
[07:45] <Sivik> window*
[07:45] <^thehatsrule^> yea its cli only
[07:45] <Sivik> ok
[07:45] <KonphuzeD> any suggestions for an enhanced image viewer that will jump to next file , crop and such ??
[07:45] <^thehatsrule^> sudo aticonfig --ini -f
[07:45] <wendigo> Sivik: you could also run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:45] <^thehatsrule^> oh if you used Ubuntu packages
[07:45] <^thehatsrule^> follow wendigo's then.
[07:46] <Sivik> the first screen talks about autodetect
[07:46] <Sivik> do i want to do that?
[07:46] <^thehatsrule^> just dont use fglrxconfig anymore ;p
[07:46] <jtmoney> is there any advantage to running 6.06 beta 2 over 5.10 with using apt-get to install kubuntu-desktop?
[07:46] <Sivik> ok
[07:47] <Sivik> do i use the fglrx or the ati for the video card driver?
[07:47] <twidget> is there a Bible scholar in the channel, by chance?
 Sivik: you could also run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg <-- you might want to do that
[07:47] <Sivik> i'm doing that now
[07:48] <wendigo> ^thehatsrule^: thats not true, if you know what you are doing running fglrxconfig is fine
[07:48] <^thehatsrule^> fglrxconfig reconstructs your whole xorg.conf, which is NOT recommended
[07:48] <Sivik> ok
[07:48] <Sivik> i just ran the aticonfig
[07:48] <Sivik> now i need to restart the session correct
[07:48] <rama3i> hello all
[07:48] <^thehatsrule^> aticonfig however, just adds its own sections to the x conf leaving the others untouched
[07:49] <^thehatsrule^> yea
[07:49] <Sivik> ok
[07:49] <Sivik> just log out and then back in?
[07:49] <^thehatsrule^> err... /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[07:49] <Sivik> oh
[07:49] <wendigo> ^thehatsrule^: like i said if you know what you are doing, it's not a problem
[07:50] <Sivik> gdm looks kinda like something that could be an abrevation for a dirty word
[07:50] <^thehatsrule^> wendigo: perhaps, everyone to his opinion, but a lot of ppl dont know what theyre doing.
[07:50] <Sivik> not running gnome
[07:50] <^thehatsrule^> Sivik: lol, i guess you could also force it by ctrl+alt+bkspace
[07:50] <Sivik> didn't know that would work
[07:50] <^thehatsrule^> ah, then the usual then.
[07:50] <mythica> something screwey with my Xserver
[07:50] <rama3i> hey, does anyone have problem with ATI display driver?
[07:50] <Sivik> rama3i: thats what i'm working on

[07:52] <AlmtyBob> it being the howto I'm reading on MythTV
[07:52] <^thehatsrule^> xgl? o.o

[07:53] <steel> agh, what do i have to type to fix my master boot record again?
[07:53] <^thehatsrule^> wendigo: well fglrxconfig will not be updated anymore, so its better not to use it anymore, anyways.
[07:54] <steel> oh it's 'fdisk /fixmbr'

[07:55] <imbrandon> steel:  grub dosent sit totaly in the mbr, whats wrong with it exactly >?
[07:56] <^thehatsrule^> wendigo: heh, well im guessing that'll change soon.

[07:58] <imbrandon> yes
[07:58] <steel> ok
[07:58] <wendigo> steel: did you do fdisk /fixmbr and fixboot in the recovery console ?
[07:58] <Sivik> ^thehatsrule^: now, when i try to run glxgears, i get "Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
[07:58] <Sivik> wtf does that mean?
[07:58] <fid_> quick question, I'm not using ubuntu i'm using xebian but I figured someone in here could help
[07:58] <steel> it said fdisk wasnt a command
[07:58] <steel> lemme restart
[07:59] <^thehatsrule^> Sivik: i doubt you have dri initialized
[07:59] <wendigo> steel: fixmbr then will probably be it

[07:59] <^thehatsrule^> Sivik: fglrxinfo?
[07:59] <fid_> when I run gedit ircd.conf I get a Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: what does that mean?

[08:01] <imbrandon> fid_: you need to run "sudo gedit <filename>" as the user that logged onto xwindows
[08:02] <firebird619> Is there a way to find out what settings (ex: sound settings) a program changed during install?
[08:03] <fid_> hmmm
[08:03] <HugLeo> Sivik: But as I can reconfigure?
[08:03] <fid_> this is frustrating
[08:03] <fid_> it wont let me sudo gedit the file either
[08:03] <fid_> how do i change the files permissions on that folder from the bash?
[08:03] <fid_> perhaps that would be a good start
[08:03] <tuxmaniac> fid_: chmod
[08:04] <imbrandon> fid_: hwat message do you get with sudo ?
[08:04] <nocturn> Morning all
[08:05] <nocturn> I did an upgrade to Dapper, and my gnome-volume-manager no longer starts
[08:05] <imbrandon> nocturn: try #ubuntu+1
[08:05] <nocturn> thanks imbrandon
[08:06] <Sivik> ^thehatsrule^: what is the (EE) for?
[08:06] <wendigo> error
[08:06] <^thehatsrule^> outputs any errors found in the x log
[08:06] <Sivik> no, it bitches at me about the unexpected (
[08:06] <fid_> ugh..
[08:06] <fid_> well thanks for trying to help imbrandon
[08:06] <fid_> not sure what the malfunction is here
[08:07] <^thehatsrule^> Sivik: `cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep -e '(EE)'`
[08:07] <Sivik> unexpected token `EE
[08:07] <Sivik> just goes to >
[08:07] <wendigo> fid_: whats the problem?
[08:07] <^thehatsrule^> heh Sivik, dont include the quotes then.
[08:07] <lomonteiro> cupsd: Child exited with status 13!
[08:07] <fid_> wendigo its not a ubuntu problem, i'm running xebian on my xbox and i figured since they are both based off debian someone in here might be able to help
[08:07] <lomonteiro>  What this is ?
[08:07] <fid_> however, I'm trying set up ircd
[08:08] <^thehatsrule^> Sivik: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep -e '(EE)'
[08:08] <fid_> but the folder permissions are set so that I can only edit them as root
[08:08] <wendigo> fid_: chmod 777 -R <folder>
[08:08] <fid_> but when i run gedit from the bash as root i get the gtk-warning error
[08:08] <imbrandon> fid_:  try "sudo nano <filename>"
[08:08] <Flannel> fid_: gksudo for graphical thigs.
[08:09] <luke> can I play the demo of UT2004 on my amd64 machine?
[08:09] <Sivik> ^thehatsrule^: paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13555
[08:09] <imbrandon> luke:  should be able to'
[08:09] <^thehatsrule^> luke: sure, as long as you have 3d set up
[08:09] <Sivik> luke: use wine
[08:10] <^thehatsrule^> lol dont
[08:10] <^thehatsrule^> there linux native binaries for all UT's
[08:10] <^thehatsrule^> there are*
[08:10] <Sivik> didn't know that
[08:10] <luke> ^thehatsrule^, how do u setup 3d?
[08:10] <Sivik> ^thehatsrule^: did you see the errors
[08:10] <Sivik> luke: what kind of card?
[08:10] <luke> Nvidia - already got drivers
[08:10] <^thehatsrule^> heh, its even on the ut2k* cd's
[08:10] <fid_> hmmm
[08:10] <^thehatsrule^> but then the demo is there for downloading
[08:10] <Sivik> i don't have ut2k so i didn't know that it had the linux on it
[08:11] <wendigo> fid_: if that doesn't work try: chown -R <user> <folder>
[08:11] <Sivik> ^thehatsrule^: did you red that page?
[08:11] <Sivik> read*
[08:11] <majd> can i install kde and choose to boot into it from login screen or does it have to replace gnome?
[08:11] <Flannel> wendigo: he just wants to edit them, not change their permissions
[08:11] <^thehatsrule^> Sivik: yea, problem is no dri
[08:11] <Sivik> and what is dri?
[08:11] <kingLear> I have a problem with Webhttrack
[08:11] <Sivik> is that in the xorg.conf?
[08:11] <^thehatsrule^> direct rendering interfae
[08:11] <^thehatsrule^> face*
[08:11] <kingLear> It wont open the Browser window when I start it,
[08:12] <Sivik> can i fix that in xorg.conf?
[08:12] <wendigo> flannel: yes, he wants to edit them as a normal user rather than root, unless i'm missunderstanding him
[08:12] <kingLear> I am using Firefox 1.5 on Ubuntu 5.10
[08:12] <luke> have u guys seen the NWN2 movies? looks awesome..
[08:12] <HugLeo> I installed the modem hsp56mr using driver smartlink but the connection falls after some time. It would be incompatibility with kernel?
[08:12] <Flannel> wendigo: no, he just wants to edit them, and was mentioning the gtk errors when you sudo [graphical editor] 
[08:12] <Rilchy> i am a new use of unix system
[08:12] <Sivik> the DRI says mode 0666
[08:12] <Sivik> Rilchy: this is linux, not unix
[08:12] <Rilchy> ok
[08:13] <Sivik> ^thehatsrule^: do i need to change the BIOS settings?
[08:13] <Sivik> maybe
[08:13] <Rilchy> someone speak french
[08:13] <myleftfoot> bonjour
[08:13] <^thehatsrule^> Sivik: no, you dont
[08:13] <fid_> gkedit command not found
[08:13] <Rilchy> comment va
[08:13] <wendigo> flannel: <fid_> but I don't have permissions to open the file otherwise
[08:13] <orbin> !fr
[08:13] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[08:13] <gina> un peu
[08:13] <Sivik> ^thehatsrule^: then what do i need to do?
[08:13] <^thehatsrule^> Sivik: could you paste your whole x log perhaps?
[08:13] <Sivik> sure
[08:14] <myleftfoot> ouin vien sur #ubuntu-fr
[08:14] <Flannel> wendigo: he needed "gksudo" not just plain sudo.  Changing permissions haphazardly can cause problems.
[08:14] <majd> can i install kde and choose to boot into it from login screen or does it have to replace gnome?
[08:14] <Rilchy> coment me logger sur hotmail
[08:14] <fid_> hahaha
[08:14] <kingLear> majd yes,
[08:15] <fid_> anyone want root access to an xbox where they can feel free to install and setup ircd for me
[08:15] <fid_> hahahaha
[08:15] <Sivik> i can't get it all, but i will give you what i can get
[08:15] <Sivik> 13556
[08:15] <majd> cool
[08:15] <Sivik> ^thehatsrule^: 13556
[08:15] <HugLeo> I installed the modem hsp56mr using driver smartlink but the connection falls after some time. It would be incompatibility with kernel?
[08:15] <^thehatsrule^> k
[08:15] <myleftfoot> Rilchy, tu es pas dans le bon chanal.. vas sur le chanal $ubuntu-fr
[08:15] <Rilchy> c'est pas super sympa ici
[08:15] <Sivik> actually, with gedit, i can get it all
[08:16] <kingLear> did you get the URL, majd?
[08:16] <wendigo> flannel: so tell him how to fix his problem rather than arguing with me
[08:16] <gina> rilchy... oui, c'est unix, t'avais raison
[08:16] <i3dmaster> how to add a kdm theme?
[08:16] <majd> kingLear, oh missed it,sorry
[08:16] <^thehatsrule^> Sivik: heh, i just use vi ;p
[08:16] <Sivik> ok
[08:16] <kingLear> check you server window
[08:16] <^thehatsrule^> but doesnt matter.
[08:16] <Sivik> 13557 for the whole thing
[08:16] <mDot> this is getting frustrating
[08:16] <deepwoodz> I'm using opera and it will not play sound for youtube videos or anything else that has to deal with flash
[08:16] <kingLear> i sent you a notice , majd
[08:16] <fidxbox> yay for being in the same channel with 2 machines haha
[08:17] <Flannel> wendigo: I did, 10 seconds after your original chmod.  Just wanted to let you know about chmod.
[08:17] <majd> eh, didn't pick it up
[08:17] <Sivik> actually, try 13558
[08:17] <Sivik> for the whole thing
[08:17] <orbin> ubotu: tell deepwoodz about flash
[08:17] <Tarantulafudge> I remember when I didn't know what chmod/chown was
[08:17] <Sivik> ^thehatsrule^: what do you think the problem is
[08:18] <fidxbox> how do i register my ip to the server?
[08:18] <fidxbox> err..
[08:18] <Sivik> fidxbox: what do you mean?
[08:18] <^thehatsrule^> Sivik: Ubuntu's packages support Xorg7?
[08:18] <fidxbox> haha
[08:18] <fidxbox> i realize how stupid that sounded in retrospect
[08:18] <Sivik> ^thehatsrule^: let me look
[08:18] <imbrandon> Flannel: not exactly becouse not all distros rely on gksu or have it installed and you can sudo many things such as nano command line just fine ;0
[08:19] <fidxbox> i mean, how can I register so i can send private messages
[08:19] <Sivik> hell if i know
[08:19] <roryy> !register
[08:19] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[08:19] <^thehatsrule^> Sivik: actually it shouldnt matter
[08:19] <fidxbox> !register
[08:19] <fidxbox> ?
[08:19] <simonp_> Ive got a weird problem. I use ssh -X to port forward X display, but when i type "firefox" in the remote shell, my local firefox app is opened!

[08:20] <rendi> help
[08:20] <rendi> help me
[08:20] <HugLeo> I installed the modem hsp56mr using driver smartlink but the connection falls after some time. In kernel 2.4x functioned but not in kernel 2,6 :(. How I can configure the modem so that the InterNet does not fall more?
[08:20] <rendi> how to setup smtp server ??
[08:20] <Flannel> imbrandon: huh? oh.  WEll yeah, sudo nano would be fine, but that would put him into text mode.  And Xubuntu does use gksu.
[08:20] <rendi> can help me sir
[08:20] <imbrandon> Flannel: he is on xebain not xubuntu ;)
[08:20] <|lostbyte|> darn.. fidxbox do imbrandon command.
[08:21] <rendi> hello
[08:21] <imbrandon> Flannel:  that and like me ksudo is better ( kde ) heheh :0
[08:21] <roryy> rendi: have you looked on the wiki?
[08:22] <rendi> roryy where is the site for wiki ?
[08:22] <Flannel> imbrandon: erm, I meant xebian.  just misspoke
[08:22] <roryy> rendi: one of these may be useful: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MailServer or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupEmailHowto
[08:22] <claymore666> my god unbuntu is BEAUTIFUL
[08:22] <claymore666> :)
[08:22] <roryy> rendi: wiki 'front page' is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com
[08:22] <rendi> ty
[08:23] <roryy> rendi: if you don't understand anything on the wiki, please ask here
[08:23] <simonp_> Anyone used ssh -X ?  Or something wrong with my eyes?
[08:24] <HugLeo> I installed the modem hsp56mr using driver smartlink but the connection falls after some time. In kernel 2.4x functioned but not in kernel 2,6 :(. How I can configure the modem so that the InterNet does not fall more?
[08:24] <imbrandon> simonp_: when you forward the x packets fromt he remote server via -X yes thats normal for your xserver to open fireforx when you type it on the remote console
[08:24] <rendi> roryy how to adduser on my smtp ?
[08:24] <czr> does anyone know whether setting up a i386 / x86-64 crosscompilation toolchain is difficult under ubuntu? (whether there are any ready-made packages for this). mainly to build a kernel, have the other arch libc and build sw that uses libc (no other libs)?
[08:24] <roryy> rendi: where is this mentioned?
[08:25] <|lostbyte|> rendi: user <user@server.com>
[08:25] <rendi> just type user <user@server.com> ??
[08:25] <simonp_> imbrandon, why that possible? i can open the remote nautilus
[08:25] <clif> New ubunto user here. just installed it on my compaq presario 1200 laptop works great but version 5.04 does not want to use my PS2 style mouse it wants to use the touch pad built in to the laptop how can I make it use the external mouse?
[08:25] <czr> simonp_, the script that starts firefox is from mozilla and it tries to outsmart you
[08:25] <|lostbyte|> rendi: You just want to send a mail with that user name, right ?
[08:26] <Flannel> clif: if you just installed, why'd you install 5.04?
[08:26] <simonp_> czr, sort of some hidden communication?
[08:26] <eobanb> clif, perhaps you should update to 5.10, or 6.06?
[08:26] <czr> simonp_, just tries to "optimize" things a bit too much :-)
[08:26] <Flannel> eobanb: not 6.06, it's still beta.
[08:26] <clif> it was what I had here just got 5.04 yesterday I'm dling 5.10 right now
[08:27] <czr> it will find out whether firefox is already running on your X screen and if there is, it will ask it to spawn another window. x screen being your x server in this case. pita really.
[08:27] <simonp_> czr, it seems crazy idea......
[08:27] <Flannel> clif: you don't need to download the whole thing, you can upgrade through the OS.
[08:27] <rendi> # smtp
[08:27] <mDot> clif, why not dist-updrade?
[08:27] <rendi> bash: smtp: command not found
[08:27] <rendi> muakz:/home/admin#
[08:27] <rendi> help
[08:27] <simonp_> can i bypass that?
[08:27] <czr> simonp_, agreed. one of my clients ran against this and were debugged it for an hour or two before reaching the conclusion that it is broken by design :-)
[08:28] <czr> simonp_, probably by hacking at the script that starts firefox but I didn't do it
[08:28] <clif> I ran the upgrade but it said that it couldn't upgrade online... so I got my PC getting the ISO file
[08:28] <simonp_> wow
[08:28] <simonp_> czr, thx a lot
[08:28] <deepwoodz> Ok i tried the steps in the wiki but it didnt help. I'm still have no audio in flash videos
[08:28] <Flannel> clif: interesting.  You followed the instructions on upgrading to 5.10?
[08:29] <czr> simonp_, thank imbrandon, I totally forgot that firefox was braindamaged :-)
[08:29] <rendi> hello
[08:29] <rendi> how to add my user smtp
[08:29] <roryy> rendi: have you read the wiki yet ?
[08:30] <czr> btw, what was the ubuntu-dev channel?
[08:30] <r0xoR> how do i find out what kind of "hardware sensors" i have in my hardware?
[08:30] <rendi> i'm lost that site
[08:30] <r0xoR> lspci doesn't have anything about this...
[08:30] <czr> r0xoR, run sensors-detect
[08:30] <r0xoR> i'm recompiling my kernel and i'm in make menuconfig right now
[08:30] <roryy> czr: #ubuntu-devel, i think
[08:30] <r0xoR> czr, sweet, k
[08:31] <czr> roryy, thx
[08:31] <r0xoR> czr, don't have that app
[08:31] <r0xoR> czr, apt-get install sensors-detect didn't work either
[08:31] <clif> I let it do every thing it could do before it said it couldn't update any more this is what it said A new release with the codename 'breezy' is available. Please see http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ for upgrade instructions.
[08:31] <czr> r0xoR, somes in lm-sensors package I believe
[08:32] <eobanb> r0xoR, yeah try lmsensors
[08:32] <eobanb> or whatever it is
[08:32] <czr> apt-cache search sensors
[08:33] <czr> sometimes it's possible to detect which i2c-bus driver to use based on lspci output, but sometimes not (unfortunately)
[08:33] <czr> however, for the sensor drivers, it is not possible to detect from pci-stuff
[08:33] <czr> since they're not connected to pci, but to smbus or i2c bus which is behind some chip which is connected to pci (you need the i2c-bus driver for that)
[08:34] <czr> sensors-detect will do its best to find and poke around your system in order to print out the stuff that you need
[08:34] <czr> and ymmv based on mobo anyway. most cheaper mobos will have 'problems'
[08:36] <edison> hi there
[08:36] <vladuz976> anybody know what the primary slave corresponds to in grub? is it (hd0,1) ?
[08:36] <claymore666> what is wine under when i want to add it via add applications
[08:36] <edison> is there a way to change a file permission by terminal???
[08:36] <lampshade> chmod
[08:36] <linlin> How can I set ubuntu to use a real, resolveable DNS hostname on my LAN. All my ubuntu machines get DHCP addresses, but because none of them have proper hostanme settings, they do not show up in my router's DHCP lease table, and I cant conect to them with putty using the hostname.
[08:37] <czr> vladuz976, hd0 = bios drive 0x80 which will be the first boot selected device in most bioses. hd1 might be the second one
[08:37] <czr> vladuz976, will depend on bios
[08:37] <linlin> My windows machine works fine like this, so I dont see a need to setup any more hardware or software than I already have going.
[08:37] <czr> hd0,1 = first partition on hd0
[08:37] <edison> is there a way to change a file permission by terminal???
[08:38] <lampshade> edison, chmod
[08:38] <czr> edison, man chmod
[08:38] <claymore666> what windows emulator does unbuntu use? :/
[08:38] <edison> but how do i use chmod??
[08:38] <vladuz976> czr: and first partition on primary slave is then hd1,1 ?
[08:38] <Flannel> claymore666: ubuntu doesn't use any windows emulator.
[08:38] <tritium> edison: the manpage will tell you
[08:38] <edison> cause im new using ubuntu
[08:38] <czr> vladuz976, probably. will depend on your bios
[08:38] <edison> ok thanks for the help everyone
[08:38] <lampshade> edison, read the man page a couple of times, honestly the easiest way to figure it out I think
[08:38] <claymore666> thanks Flannel, is there any possible way to run windows apps at all via ubuntu ?
[08:38] <tritium> edison: you can also right-click, and change permissions that way
[08:38] <Flannel> claymore666: yeah, it's called "wine"
[08:39] <claymore666> :P
[08:39] <czr> vladuz976, problem being that grub only knows about stuff that bios tells it. and this might be different from linux ide driver
[08:39] <edison> i try that obe but didnt work
[08:39] <edison> one
[08:39] <claymore666> where can i get it? ;/
[08:39] <Flannel> claymore666: no no, a program called wine
[08:39] <claymore666> i am trying add applications but it doesnt find it
[08:39] <edison> right click didnt work for me lol
[08:39] <tritium> edison: it works
[08:39] <lampshade> edison, why didn't it work, what errors?  Etc
[08:40] <tritium> edison: unless you don't have the necessary permissions to modify them in the first place
[08:40] <Flannel> claymore666: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wine
[08:40] <edison> cause i try to change permission for user file
[08:40] <czr> edison, right clicking in the file manager obviously, not the terminal emulator
[08:40] <claymore666> thankyou flannel
[08:40] <edison> cause i need to install a game patch but dont have permission to change the folder
[08:41] <mneptok> edison: use sudo, not chmod
[08:41] <tritium> edison: use sudo
[08:41] <lampshade> edison, are you setting up a linux server or something?
[08:41] <edison> nope
[08:41] <lampshade> for like counterstrike or something
[08:41] <lampshade> oh
[08:41] <edison> i try first su root
[08:41] <mneptok> edison: use sudo, not chmod (x2)
[08:41] <tritium> !tell edison about rootsudo
[08:42] <edison> to change the folder permission but dont know how to change the permission
[08:43] <majd> Hey, do you guys know of a good tutorial on how to make my own gtk/metacity themes?
[08:43] <czr> ok. next question (I'm on a roll): anyone know of a decent tr/nr -> xml converter?
[08:43] <fiendskull9> hey
[08:43] <fiendskull9> anyone use fluxbox?
[08:43] <daryl> Anyone here use WOW?
[08:44] <lampshade> edison, more than likely you are wanting to change the permision on a folder, but you don't have the rights to even change the permission, that's where sudo comes in, it is used in front of chmod to then give you super user powers to change stuff.  Unlike windows, you do not defaulty just have super powers as a security reason
[08:44] <protocol1> fiendskull9, yeah
[08:44] <edison> but do i use then sudo chmod??
[08:45] <edison> and then what??
[08:45] <mneptok> edison: but you should use sudo to install the patch, not change the permissions in order to do it
[08:45] <protocol1> I am currently using KDE though
[08:45] <edison> but the folder is usr, so can i change the permission or it is not a good idea?
[08:45] <mneptok> it is not a good idea
[08:45] <daryl> Anyone here use WOW?
[08:46] <tritium> bad idea, edison
[08:46] <mneptok> use sudo to install the patch
[08:46] <CactusWiZaRd> hello
[08:46] <majd> how do i install a gdm theme?
[08:46] <fiendskull9> protocol1, well, i just installed it, because im testing wm's for a linux distro im working on. and i love it. i got gdesklets running and junk
[08:46] <tritium> daryl: I use the word as an exclamation on occasion
[08:46] <edison> i used sudo to install it but now i try to paste other patch in the folder and i cant
[08:46] <daryl> tritium = ) good to hear.  Do you also Play World of Warcraft?
[08:46] <Hutch> hey all!
[08:46] <edison> cause the permission
[08:47] <tritium> daryl: no, sorry.  I don't play games
[08:47] <mneptok> daryl: seeing that there is no Linux version of WoW and that this channel is named for a Linux distribution, what do you think?
[08:47] <daryl> mneptok, forgive me.  I'm very new.  was i breaking some rule asking in here about that?
[08:47] <Hutch> i believe wow is supported under that new program that lets you play some windows games on linux
[08:47] <tritium> No, it's okay, daryl
[08:47] <Hutch> i know bf2 is a supported game
[08:47] <protocol1> fiendskull9, yeah its a nice desktop for a clean look
[08:47] <fiendskull9> crossover?
[08:48] <mneptok> daryl: well, it's not breaking a rule. but it's like going into a men's room looking for a tampon dispenser.
[08:48] <Hutch> that could be right fiend
[08:48] <fiendskull9> protocol1, yeah, i like it. im only using 200mb of ram right now
[08:48] <CactusWiZaRd> i have this little program i want to install, but Synaptic or apt-get doesn't include libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3, where should i look for it?
[08:48] <hajuu> daryl, you should check out cedega :)
[08:48] <Flannel> daryl: WoW can run on ubuntu.
[08:48] <fiendskull9> Hutch, the new ver. doesnt come out till early summer i think
[08:48] <Flannel> there's a thing in the forums about it.
[08:48] <fiendskull9> Flannel, no it cant, Warcraft can tho
[08:48] <majd> !gdm
[08:48] <ubotu> Some people juggle geese. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, majd
[08:48] <protocol1> yeah,,,I have 1.21GB RAM on my notebook
[08:48] <Hutch> gotcha, wasn't sure if you guys had heard of it
[08:48] <daryl> I am running ubuntu, and I actually have WoW working.  However, its really choppy.
[08:49] <protocol1> everything is nice and speedy
[08:49] <fiendskull9> protocol1, same here, its like 1.5 or something gigs
[08:49] <CactusWiZaRd> !libstdc++
[08:49] <protocol1> nice
[08:49] <Hutch> anyone have a notebook that can't last more than an hour on it's battery lol
[08:49] <fiendskull9> dude
[08:49] <fiendskull9> get this
[08:49] <fiendskull9> Barbie is going to have a debian based os
[08:49] <fiendskull9> dead feckin serious
[08:49] <Hutch> my notebook has a 3.2ghz, 2gb ddr and a 120GB hd with kill my battery life windows xp home
[08:49] <tritium> friendly reminder:
[08:49] <tritium> !enter
[08:49] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying.
[08:50] <CactusWiZaRd> fiendskull9: d'oh
[08:50] <fiendskull9> sorry tritium
[08:50] <tritium> no problem, fiendskull9
[08:50] <edison> so im confuse with the sudo chmod command to change the folder (usr) permission
[08:50] <tritium> Barbie?  As in the doll?
[08:50] <fiendskull9> i saw it on slashdot today, but its going to turn little girls into nerds :P.
[08:50] <edison> lol
[08:50] <protocol1> I find myself using ubuntu as much as windows and I've grown attached with it
[08:51] <Hutch> could anyone help me with an ubuntu install... just have a few questions before i take a stab at it
[08:51] <fiendskull9> edison, do you want ALL the other dirs and file in /usr to be chmodded too?
[08:51] <Flannel> fiendskull9: erm, I could swear...  yeah, here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=120615&highlight=Warcraft+World
[08:51] <Flannel> erm, you can obviously ditch the highlight.
[08:51] <edison> can i revese the action once i do it??
[08:51] <fiendskull9> edison, you can chmod it back to its normal state.
[08:51] <Flannel> edison: only if you remember what they used to be.
[08:52] <Flannel> edison: which is why its easier to just sudo to do the stuff
[08:52] <fiendskull9> edison, it will take a LONG time. probably a half hour to chmod all the stuff in usr
[08:52] <Flannel> easier and safer
[08:52] <mneptok> edison: one last time. do NOT use chmod. use sudo to install the patch.
[08:52] <edison> :(
[08:52] <edison> i did use sudo to install it
[08:52] <mneptok> then you don;t need to change permissions
[08:52] <Hutch> can you format a 2nd hard drive which is going to have the ubuntu primary parition on with the ubuntu install disc? (format it to fat32)
[08:53] <daryl> someone was suggesting I ask elsewhere for help with wow. where would you folks suggest?
[08:53] <mneptok> Hutch: attempting to install Linux to FAT32 is not wise
[08:53] <Flannel> Hutch: fat32 is not good for linux.
[08:53] <edison> but the game try to update the patch in the usr folder, but cant update the patch because it dosnt have permission to change the folder
[08:53] <Hutch> oh really?
[08:53] <edison> is enemy territoy
[08:53] <Hutch> ntfs???
[08:53] <edison> ry
[08:53] <luke> how do I make gDesklets start up for my user automatically please?
[08:53] <Hutch> you gotta be kidden me
[08:54] <mneptok> edison: if it's telling you that, you're not using sudo to install the patch
[08:54] <Hutch> that is the best news i've heard since i discovered ubuntu lol
[08:54] <daryl> someone was suggesting I ask elsewhere for help with wow. where would you folks suggest?
[08:54] <edison> im telling u i use su root and then i installed it
[08:54] <Flannel> Hutch: no.  ntfs is worse.  you can Write/read fat32, but only put data there, not filesystem stuff.
[08:54] <Flannel> daryl: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=120615 on installing it.
[08:54] <mneptok> edison: you can't use su on Ubuntu without sudo.
[08:54] <CactusWiZaRd> where can i get missing component(libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3)?
[08:54] <Hutch> What file system do you suggest?
[08:55] <mneptok> Hutch: ext3
[08:55] <Flannel> Hutch: for an ubuntu install? ext3
[08:55] <edison> but once the game start and try to update the patch in the folder usr it can be written
[08:55] <daryl> flannel, but what about a chat channel? i've read forum after forum post.
[08:55] <luke> how do I make gDesklets start up for my user automatically please?
[08:55] <mneptok> edison: then start the game with sudo
[08:55] <NPC_Crystufer> Hey, is there a way I could make linux (not ubuntu specificaly) execute ./home/dsl/hlds_l/cstrike/hlds_run -optionshere only if the option cstrike is passed at boot time?
[08:55] <Flannel> daryl: erm, sorry, no idea.
[08:55] <edison> ill try that last one
[08:55] <daryl> i just wish I could get this thing to run right.  sigh
[08:56] <edison> sounds good
[08:56] <Hutch> Will I be able to format the drive during or before the install with the ubuntu cd?
[08:56] <Flannel> edison: try #wine or somethign wine related.
[08:56] <Flannel> Hutch: during the install, the CD will let you
[08:56] <czr> NPC_Crystufer, grep for /proc/cmdline. it will contain the boot time kernel commandline
[08:56] <Hutch> perfect
[08:56] <czr> NPC_Crystufer, and if grep finds the parameter, run the program
[08:56] <czr> NPC_Crystufer, you'll have to modify your startup scripts obviously for this, but this will depend on your needs
[08:57] <edison> but wine is to use windows aplications and enemy territory can be play in linux with any problem
[08:57] <edison> with out any problem
[08:57] <Hutch> oh one more question... I've never setup raid before... I have a P5ND2-SLI motherboard with the onboard nvraid... the manual is horrendous. I have identical 120GB maxtor PATA drives
[08:57] <mneptok> edison: W:ET often has problems as it does not use ALSA
[08:57] <luke> how do I make an application run everytime gnome boots?
[08:58] <edison> ummmmmm......
[08:58] <roryy> NPC_Crystufer: how about setting up a specific runlevel for that, and configuring the startup services (/etc/init.d/*) appropriately ?
[08:58] <mneptok> Hutch: then RAID should be done in the BIOS an independent of the OS
[08:58] <CactusWiZaRd> WHERE CAN I INSTALL LIBSTDC++-LIBC6.2-2.SO.3?
[08:58] <edison> what is ALSA?
[08:58] <mneptok> an/and/
[08:58] <CactusWiZaRd> plz asnwer
[08:58] <CactusWiZaRd> answer*
[08:58] <roryy> please don't shout
[08:58] <NPC_Crystufer> roryy That sounds like it would work.
[08:59] <CactusWiZaRd> ...
[08:59] <edison> man remember im learning to use ubuntu
[08:59] <edison> i have like 2 months with it
[08:59] <CactusWiZaRd> edison: me?
[08:59] <NPC_Crystufer> Can you actually set up your own runlevel?\
[08:59] <edison> not u
[08:59] <czr> NPC_Crystufer, sure. just add it to /etc/inittab and set it up
[08:59] <orbin> CactusWiZaRd: sounds like you need build-essential perhaps
[08:59] <SillySquirrel> wow lot more people in here then kubuntu
[08:59] <Hutch> awesome, I really need to brushin up on my hard drive skills... after getting my A+, network+ and win server 2003 certs I never really got into any hd stuff
[09:00] <czr> NPC_Crystufer, any one number or letter will do although using an existing runlevel might be a best idea
[09:00] <czr> Hutch, google for 'fakeraid' for starters :-)
[09:00] <edison> using sudo for running et sounds good
[09:00] <NPC_Crystufer> czr Why is that?
[09:00] <Hutch> yea ive heard about that czr lol
[09:01] <czr> Hutch, that is the name for 'sw-raid done by bios at boot'
[09:01] <orbin> edison: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALSA_%28Linux%29
[09:01] <czr> since nvraid != hw raid
[09:01] <Hutch> its not real 'raid' its a software raid pretty much
[09:01] <Hutch> gotcha
[09:01] <edison> thanks orbin for the info
[09:01] <deepwoodz> my flashplayer plays videos but no sound any clue why?
[09:01] <Hutch> yea there is a huge bios section labeled "nvraid" has all the support options in there
[09:01] <czr> although ymmv whether you want to do it that way. linux mdadm is pretty good as well if you really want to go the sw raid way
[09:01] <CactusWiZaRd> orbin: maybe, i haven't got any clue, 'cuz i have 2 computers, but one monitor, so my dad got sum program which should help using 2 cpu's with one monitor
[09:01] <Hutch> maxtavista?
[09:02] <farous> deepwoodz: i assume that happen if you have another program using your sound card. type aoss firefox and it will run fine
[09:02] <orbin> CactusWiZaRd: how does that work?  isn't there only one output plung on the monitor?
[09:02] <deepwoodz> thank you
[09:02] <orbin> s/plung/plug :)
[09:02] <Hutch> kvm switch?
[09:02] <farous> deepwoodz: given you are using als. you might need to install the package though alsa-oss
[09:02] <CactusWiZaRd> orbin: yup
[09:02] <Flannel> Sounds like it should be hardware based.  CactusWiZaRd whats the program?  And yeah, you most likely need build-essential, in fact, you DO need it, if youre compiling anything.
[09:03] <edison> but orbin ALSA is for sound support
[09:03] <orbin> edison: eh?  i just say you asking what ALSA was.. :-/
[09:03] <farous> deepwoodz: ment if you are using alsa sorry as your sound server
[09:03] <orbin> s/say/saw
[09:03] <edison> thats not my problem, my problem is that when i run enemy-territory
[09:03] <CactusWiZaRd> Flannel: it's VNC or something like that
[09:03] <Hutch> cactus i believe you need either maxta vista or a KVM (keyboard video monitor) switch
[09:03] <edison> ok u got me there lol
[09:04] <orbin> edison: when you run et...you have sound issues?
[09:04] <edison> cause someone told me to use it and i didnt know what it was
[09:04] <edison> nope
[09:04] <NPC_Crystufer> rorry If I set up a specific runlevel for that, won't it restart the server if I shut it down?
[09:04] <Flannel> CactusWiZaRd: you don't need to compile VNC, ubuntu comes with it
[09:04] <deepwoodz> it works thank you
[09:05] <farous> ur w :)
[09:05] <CactusWiZaRd> Flannel: thnks
[09:05] <majd> is there a tutorial to install engage?
[09:05] <majd> !engage
[09:05] <ubotu> majd: Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[09:05] <edison> my problem is that et use a punkbuster patch to stop hackers get in your pc while u are playing
[09:05] <deepwoodz> peace
[09:05] <majd> !e17
[09:05] <Hutch> edison what game are you guys talkin about BF2 or WOW?
[09:05] <roryy> NPC_Crystufer: shut what down? you mean, change runlevels ?
[09:06] <edison> so once in i while this punkbuster try to update the connection but because i dondt have the folder permissions the game log out
[09:07] <Flannel> edison: right, you need to sudo and run it toupdate, just like updating FF, etc.  sudo run it, then quit and run it as normal.
[09:07] <edison> im talking about wolfstein: return to the castle
[09:07] <NPC_Crystufer> roryy No, I mean if I try to shutdown the game server.
[09:07] <Hutch> gotcha
[09:07] <Hutch> what's the server version of ubuntu?
[09:07] <Hutch> kubuntu?
[09:07] <Flannel> Hutch: ubuntu.
[09:07] <edison> ok thanks for the tip
[09:07] <NPC_Crystufer> roryy I guess I don't understand how it works.
[09:07] <Hutch> lol
[09:07] <DesTroYed> heey All Hv Som probs Wez ubuntu Os :!
[09:07] <edison> it sounds good lol
[09:07] <Flannel> Hutch: no, it's still ubuntu.  It's just no desktop environment
[09:08] <Hutch> gotcha
[09:08] <Flannel> Hutch: you can install it from ANY -ubuntu install CD
[09:08] <roryy> NPC_Crystufer: i'd have your command started as a service script /etc/init.d/  -- in which case, you could stop it with 'sudo /etc/init.d/<blah> stop', so, no
[09:08] <DesTroYed> Anyone here loll like icqserver :!
[09:08] <Flannel> Hutch: just as you can switch between (or have multiple) -ubuntus installed
[09:08] <edison> yeah i had to many problems updating this but ill try his way otherwise i tell if worker or not
[09:08] <edison> cya in a moment
[09:08] <roryy> NPC_Crystufer: is there a reason you can't start/stop this thing after a normal boot ?
[09:09] <Hutch> i've got a dual xeon server from theplanet... run a couple game servers on it... have win 2003 adv. server standard edition but I wanna get a little more outta the server and learn some linux while im at it
[09:09] <roryy> Hutch: there's also a 'server edition' cd, which you might find useful. it has nothing that isn't available in the repositories, though.
[09:09] <F0LL0W3R> So Anyone Well Done Help me :S
[09:09] <F0LL0W3R> Would*
[09:09] <Hutch> gotcha... anyway you can install it via net?
[09:09] <Flannel> roryy: I believe the only advantageto that is it has more server stuff on the CD repo.
[09:10] <Hutch> server is erm uh... 1500 miles from me lol
[09:10] <Flannel> Hutch: install what? ubuntu? yeah, you can netinstall.  Not officially sanctioned.  But google for it.
[09:10] <F0LL0W3R> Hmmmmm
[09:10] <Flannel> F0LL0W3R: just ask, don't ask to ask.
[09:10] <F0LL0W3R> kz People Wen 1 would help me loll just type manick
[09:10] <NPC_Crystufer> roryy No, I can do it. But I want to start up in text mode anyways so it runs faster, and then for convenience sake I'd like to make it so that I can power it on and select a grub entry, then leave it alone.
[09:10] <F0LL0W3R> :S
[09:10] <F0LL0W3R> Okay
[09:10] <F0LL0W3R> i hv problem
[09:11] <F0LL0W3R> we installin fonts should i put ma favorites fonts in that path /usr/shar/myfonts
[09:11] <F0LL0W3R> right ?
[09:11] <jtd_> hey guys, who understands redirects with ./htaccess files?  cuz I even did an AllowOverride for that directory and it still doesn't redirect.
[09:11] <roryy> NPC_Crystufer: so in runlevel 3, startup this thing but not (say) gdm
[09:11] <Hutch> ubuntu would save me some money too on my server... i pay an extra $30 a month for win serv 2003
[09:11] <orbin> F0LL0W3R: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FontInstallHowto
[09:11] <SillySquirrel> ewwwwww
[09:11] <Flannel> Hutch: you might have to talk to the people at the server place re: installation.
[09:11] <SillySquirrel> payin extra for a virus on your server.
[09:11] <F0LL0W3R> orbin loll read it already
[09:11] <NPC_Crystufer> what is gdm?
[09:12] <F0LL0W3R> but can't get that i mean
[09:12] <claymore666> i've got a small problem, i installed unbuntu but i dont know if i even set the root password, or if i am in root, what do i do? :/
[09:12] <NPC_Crystufer> is that gnome?
[09:12] <Hutch> yea ill prob have them do it for me... they have the best tech support imaginable
[09:12] <Flannel> Hutch: or at least, make sure it's kosher for you to change stuff
[09:12] <Flannel> !tell claymore666 about root
[09:12] <czr> NPC_Crystufer, the graphical login program that comes with gnome (gnome display manager)
[09:12] <claymore666> thx
[09:12] <F0LL0W3R> wen i modify in the font-cache-1 to put my fonts it "myfonts" "directory" somth like dat
[09:12] <SillySquirrel> !tell SillySquirrel about root
[09:12] <F0LL0W3R> the file told me that u can't save it anyway
[09:12] <F0LL0W3R> so how can i modify it ?
[09:13] <F0LL0W3R> "myfonts" 0 .directory" it was like that
[09:13] <NPC_Crystufer> roryy, Yeah, about like that, but my com doesn't have a gdm anyways. It's dsl, so it has a console login.
[09:13] <sparkleytone> i've never build a deb-src package
[09:13] <Hutch> alright guys thank you so much for the help, i gotta play a couple games of bf2 to relax for what I know is going to be an adventurous install lol
[09:14] <sparkleytone> when i do apt-get -b source package...does it install it too?
[09:14] <F0LL0W3R> so how can i edit that file n save wut i did ?
[09:14] <sparkleytone> i got tired of waiting for a clamav backport to hit breezy...
[09:14] <F0LL0W3R> the file fonts-cache-1 in that path ?
[09:15] <F0LL0W3R> fonts.cache-1*
[09:15] <imbrandon> F0LL0W3R: it explains it all on the wiki
[09:15] <sparkleytone> any1?
[09:15] <NPC_Crystufer> roryy, you know what, this is a sonovabich. i'm gonna alias the command i want to a shorter one and start it myself.
[09:15] <Flannel> sparkleytone: -b means build it, so yes.
[09:16] <Flannel> sparkleytone: I imagine you need build-essential first though
[09:16] <F0LL0W3R> imbrandon Really i did it all n make the directory for ma fonts but wen i modified that file fonts.cache-1 to activiate ma fonts
[09:16] <imbrandon> sparkleytone: no it dosent install it too, it created a .deb in the directory you run that from
[09:16] <HellDragon> when there's evil, HellDragon is idle
[09:16] <HellDragon> :)
[09:16] <F0LL0W3R> it said me that u don't hv the full permission to do that imbrandon
[09:16] <sparkleytone> so which one is it?? ;)
[09:17] <Flannel> sparkleytone: what he said, I just went off the help file
[09:17] <imbrandon> Flannel: build it is not the same as installing it
[09:17] <sparkleytone> :)
[09:17] <F0LL0W3R> sudo apt-get install XXX
[09:17] <sparkleytone> thx
[09:17] <sparkleytone> i see the debs now
[09:17] <sparkleytone> now to take a deep breath and do it
[09:18] <F0LL0W3R> You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please, check that you typed the location correctly and try again.
[09:18] <F0LL0W3R> that message appeared
[09:18] <F0LL0W3R> that wut i mean imbrandon .....
[09:18] <imbrandon> F0LL0W3R: you are not rewading the wiki correctly

[09:19] <F0LL0W3R> Okay wait moment :!

[09:21] <imbrandon> yes
[09:21] <Pr0hibited> Hey guys, I need to ban anyone that tries to access my IP from bigpond.net.au .. How could I do that ? Firewall, yes, but suggestions? I need a firewall that can run by ssh
[09:21] <F0LL0W3R> yea i got it
[09:21] <F0LL0W3R> am tyin this also ...
[09:21] <imbrandon> Pr0hibited: ipchains
[09:21] <ishit> how do i create a super user passwd
[09:22] <imbrandon> Pr0hibited:  and also look at /etc/hosts.deny
[09:22] <imbrandon> ishit: sudo passwd root ( but i wouldent recomend it )
[09:22] <tritium> !tell F0LL0W3R about enter
[09:22] <orbin> Pr0hibited: why would you do that?  i'm getting bigpond cable tomorrow.
[09:23] <Healot> sudo su is preferable to login as root
[09:23] <Healot> i think
[09:23] <orbin> Pr0hibited: is there something i should know? :)
[09:23] <sparkleytone> man i love clamav+dspam
[09:23] <imbrandon> Healot: yes
[09:23] <Pr0hibited> orbin - having issues with someone trying to scan my server, and attack my chats
[09:23] <F0LL0W3R> tritium loll Thanks for that helper Bot ....
[09:23] <Pr0hibited> & D/DoS

[09:23] <sn00p> I am trying to play a .bin movie in mplayer I see picture but I hear no sound anybody know whats wrong?
[09:23] <Healot> because leaving root passwordless is a lot safer
[09:23] <Pr0hibited> Imbrandon, thanks man. I'll look into ipchains -- hosts.deny didn't work for me when I tried earlier
[09:24] <salty> hi  all - rather new to linux, but im trying to create an Ubuntu bootcd - all is going well, but i the Terminal wont accept this line of code, anyone got any ideas? "DEFAULT linux initrd=initrd.img ro root=/dev/sda"
[09:24] <Flannel> Pr0hibited: check out denyhosts (its a script) http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/
[09:24] <imbrandon> sn00p: if someone knew the awnser they would tell you please dont repeat the same question in a short peroid of time
[09:24] <imbrandon> salty: drop the "DEFAULT" part

[09:36] <claymore666> ok
[09:36] <claymore666> thanks
[09:36] <imbrandon> claymore666:  you want to either "sudo nano /etc/fstab" or "gksu gedit /etc/fstab"
[09:37] <claymore666> thankyou
[09:37] <imbrandon> ubotu: tell mustard5 about sudoroot
[09:38] <hajiki> can someone help me get my cd-ripping to go faster than 1.x? i've already turned on DMA with hdparm -d1, any other ideas? (i'm running 510)
[09:38] <mustard5> imbrandon, yeah I get lazy :)
[09:38] <imbrandon> hehe
[09:39] <bkw> I tried to install ubuntu 5.10 on my latop, but the system freeze when it tries to load hotplug daemon,   I would like to try 6.06 beta2 and see if it works better. Can I uninstall grub now, and restore the old mbr?
[09:40] <claymore666> ok, now i have edited fstab (and backed up) how do i get linux to read/ perform it without rebooting ?
[09:40] <imbrandon> claymore666: just umount the partion and remount it
[09:40] <claymore666> ok
[09:40] <claymore666> ta
[09:40] <enkrav> Hello, how can I set up a directory without any permission troubles for my family e.g. where everybody can read and write, even if the program that saves the file wants it to be readable only by the user who produced it?
[09:41] <imbrandon> enkrav:  chmod 777 <directoryname>
[09:41] <claymore666> done, i think
[09:41] <claymore666> thankyou
[09:41] <SillySquirrel> Is there a way to check the MD5 truness of the ubuntu iso in windows ?
[09:41] <imbrandon> np ;)
[09:41] <mustard5> claymore666, well done
[09:41] <eggzeck> enkrav, chmod a+rwx <dirname>
[09:42] <caonex> hello, what is the program that uses the output of a command and places it as the parameter of another specified command? I forgot
[09:42] <imbrandon> the pipe ? |
[09:42] <mustard5> SillySquirrel, yeah, you could get hold of a freeware md5sum checker of some kind
[09:42] <imbrandon> there is a actual md5sum.exe on sourceforge somewhere i think
[09:43] <caonex> imbrandon: nope.....I know about htat.....but pipe only passes output to another command you specify.....there is another program that has other advantages
[09:43] <kuzmaster> that link diddnt work
[09:44] <SillySquirrel> Thanks
[09:44] <imbrandon> md5sum for windows ---. http://www.etree.org/md5com.html
[09:44] <enkrav> eggzeck, imbrandon, The problem is this: I occasionally do a chmod a+rwx dirname -R   but when, for example user A puts, say, photos imported from the digicam in it, the digital camera program marks the files inside as readable only for the user who downloaded them from the camera.
[09:44] <eggzeck> caonex, it also passes output to other programs 'grep' is acutally a program (command)
[09:44] <caonex> eggzeck: it is not grep....
[09:44] <enkrav> this is only an example
[09:44] <imbrandon> enkrav: the only way i know of is to run a cron on that dir every few minutes
[09:44] <caonex> eggzeck: I use grep a lot as well
[09:44] <eggzeck> caonex, that was an _example_
[09:45] <caonex> eggzeck: I am not mad....hehe.....
[09:45] <claymore666> !wine
[09:45] <enkrav> imbrandon, thought of this, but it's *hardly* elegant
[09:45] <imbrandon> heh true
[09:46] <imbrandon> enkrav:  some fs types let you set the default creation file flags in fstab dunno how that all works touhg
[09:47] <imbrandon> like smbfs etc
[09:47] <imbrandon> and it would have to be its own mount obviously becouse you wouldent want that for like / or anything
[09:47] <claymore666> oh no
[09:47] <imbrandon> ?
[09:47] <claymore666> ubuntu doesn't support mp3's ???
[09:48] <eggzeck> Yes it does
[09:48] <mustard5> claymore666, yeah it does :)
[09:48] <imbrandon> yes , just not out of the box claymore666
[09:48] <mustard5> claymore666, just not by default
[09:48] <imbrandon> !restricted
[09:48] <ubotu> restricted is probably https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[09:48] <claymore666> ok, well i just opened one in totem and it didn't play
[09:48] <claymore666> ah
[09:48] <imbrandon> claymore666: follow that link, its simple to setup
[09:48] <sparkleytone> isn't lame a totally free mp3 lib?
[09:48] <eggzeck> claymore666, xmms 'sudo apt-get install xmms'
[09:48] <claymore666> thankyou ;)
[09:48] <eggzeck> I didn't have to install any restricted ones to use mp3 (fyi)
[09:49] <mustard5> eggzeck, yeah..its funny how xmms supports mp3's without installing anything from restricted formats page
[09:49] <hajiki> anyone know how to make soundjuicer rip faster? i already enabled dma with hdparm.
[09:49] <eggzeck> mustard5, exactly :)
[09:49] <claymore666> <3 ubuntu
[09:49] <sparkleytone> hajiki: give your disc a nice hard spin right before you close the tray ;)
[09:49] <imbrandon> lol
[09:49] <claymore666> now, how do i launch wine? :S
[09:50] <imbrandon> claymore666: you will want to run wincfg first but you dont launch "wine" you launch a win program like "wine /path/to/my.exe"
[09:50] <hajiki> no lol
[09:51] <claymore666> ah, ok
[09:51] <sparkleytone> heh...i'm so damn proud of the DSPAM+ClamAV+Postfix=>Exchange relay i set up for work
[09:51] <claymore666> and it's best to run a fake install ?
[09:51] <sparkleytone> DSPAM is a biotch to get up and running
[09:51] <mustard5> claymore666, works for me
[09:51] <claymore666> ok
[09:52] <imbrandon> claymore666: and if you looking at playing games with wine you might do some research on cedga ( a better wine for games ) and crossover office ( a better wine for office type apps like photoshop )
[09:52] <F0LL0W3R> !realplayer
[09:52] <ubotu> methinks realplayer is http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[09:52] <imbrandon> but word of warning crossover office is not free
[09:52] <imbrandon> but very good , i use it every day
[09:52] <mustard5> nor cedega :)
[09:52] <claymore666> hm
[09:52] <imbrandon> cedga has a free cvs version
[09:53] <claymore666> i think i have a gui version of wine installed... im confused
[09:53] <mustard5> I've got cedega myself, but I wonder why sometimes..I only play one game on my windows98 install
[09:53] <imbrandon> umm there isnt a wine gui ;)
[09:53] <imbrandon> only winecfg
[09:53] <claymore666> ok
[09:53] <claymore666> sorry, new to linux :/
[09:53] <mustard5> I like to think I'm supporting the development of good gaming support in linux :)
[09:53] <Remenic> I noticed that the iptables init.d scripts are missing in ubuntu, what's the best way to configure a firewall in ubuntu?
[09:53] <imbrandon> hehe
[09:54] <mustard5> Remenic, with a gui?
[09:54] <imbrandon> Remenic: "sudo apt-get install initd"
[09:54] <imbrandon> install even
[09:54] <Remenic> initd you say... hmmm
[09:54] <HIGH-FREQ> how do i get the mac address of this wireless card
[09:54] <eggzeck> Remenic, 'apt-cache search firewall'
[09:54] <HIGH-FREQ> is there a simple command
[09:54] <imbrandon> ifconfig
[09:55] <Remenic> sweet, 1 hit... kmyfirewall :)
[09:55] <mustard5> F0LL0W3R, they shoot people with away messages in here :)
[09:55] <imbrandon> HIGH-FREQ: ifconfig ( it will be under the HWaddr )

[09:57] <ompaul> mustard5, init.d
[09:58] <eggzeck> ompaul, you can't install init.d :P
[09:58] <B0FH> i was wondering if there where any install commands at the ubuntu install cd where it says Boot: that would install ubuntu with vesa drivers?
[09:58] <imbrandon> B0FH: hit f1 at that screen
[09:58] <ompaul> eggzeck, check when I arrived :-) previous conversations without context
[09:58] <Unimatrix9>  i run the gnome desktop, and use the "run applications" a lot, how can i clear that what it has remembered...
[09:58] <eggzeck> ompaul, ahh sorry =)
[09:59] <B0FH> imbrandon: ok so if i have my freind hit f1 at that screen what option would be be looking for?
[09:59] <imbrandon> Unimatrix9: please dont repeat in a short peroid of time , if someone knows they will anwser
[09:59] <imbrandon> B0FH:  that will give you a list of options , what your looking for will probbly be vga=<something> but you will have to look at the optiosn in f1
[09:59] <mustard5> I get tons of hits for inetd :)
[10:00] <B0FH> this is a new potentail ubuntu user that wiped his win install and does not have a way to go back to windows as his xp cd is hosed lol
[10:00] <sparkleytone> ewps
[10:00] <sparkleytone> potential?
[10:00] <eggzeck> B0FH, that is awesome
[10:00] <imbrandon> B0FH:  and is there a reason not to use the default install ?
[10:00] <eggzeck> :P
[10:00] <sparkleytone> sounds like you're stuck .
[10:00] <sparkleytone> :)
[10:00] <sparkleytone> welcome to Ubuntu.  You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
[10:01] <imbrandon> hahah
[10:01] <mustard5> :)
[10:01] <B0FH> yea http://pastebin.com/703127
[10:01] <protocol1> BOFH, he will enjoy it
[10:01] <imbrandon> B0FH:  k one sec looking
[10:01] <B0FH> those are the visual errors
[10:01] <B0FH> not from error logs
[10:01] <sparkleytone> B0FH: you wiped it or you can't boot to it?
[10:01] <ompaul> B0FH, having missed the start is it an install with funny graphics on the screen in front of you?
[10:02] <B0FH> it's not me my box is linux compatable this is for a freind i am trying to help via email as his box won't take ubuntu for some reason
[10:02] <imbrandon> B0FH:  looks like he is doing a expert install, just let him do the default install
[10:02] <B0FH> no this screen is not infront of me this is a freinds computer
[10:02] <B0FH> ok
[10:02] <B0FH> will do
[10:03] <mustard5> B0FH, thats a mess of errors
[10:04] <imbrandon> ahhh he is using the live cd ? get an install disk, not the live cd
[10:04] <ompaul> B0FH, if it is the case that they have distorted graphics at the start then doing this can help - there is F1 as you already know and you can "add an option" some phase like that to the boot options which is a string/phrase that the kernel actually reads, and the one that helps most is VGA=771 for laptops of certain makes
[10:04] <imbrandon> B0FH:  ahhh he is using the live cd ? get an install disk, not the live cd
[10:04] <krishna> hi
[10:04] <imbrandon> hi
[10:04] <eggzeck> hello krishna
[10:05] <mustard5> B0FH, he wouldnt be getting the partitioning option with a liveCD
[10:05] <krishna> how do i get ubuntu to allow me to write to my windows partitions?
[10:05] <ompaul> B0FH, wiki.ubuntu.com/BootOptions  and wiki.ubuntu.com/PaulsKludge
[10:05] <voraistos> hello, i have no video codec working on dapper, can anybody help ?
[10:05] <ompaul> krishna, System Administration Disks
[10:05] <caonex> imbrandon: the program is xargs....
[10:05] <mustard5> krishna, you would edit your /etc/fstab file with the necessary options
[10:05] <ompaul> voraistos, please ask in #ubuntu+1 the channel for dapper
[10:05] <imbrandon> krishna: google captive-ntfs
[10:05] <voraistos> krishna: what kind of windows partition? ntfs? dont do that ;)
[10:05] <voraistos> ompaul: nobody there :(
[10:06] <krishna> lol, ya... i formatted them in fat32 for that reason ;)
[10:06] <mustard5> krishna, check this URL out http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu#How_to_mount_Windows_partitions_.28NTFS.29_on_boot-up.2C_and_allow_all_users_to_read_only
[10:06] <sparkleytone> krishna: easy enough then
[10:06] <imbrandon> ahh then just edit the /etc/fstab with rw options
[10:06] <eggzeck> voraistos, well dapper is unstable, and I don't think any of us run it yet.
[10:06] <ompaul> voraistos, the way it works is ask and then wait a moment
[10:06] <intelikey> good morning....    can someone tell me what i am missing here?
[10:06] <intelikey> tty1 [root#~]  grub-install /dev/hda
[10:06] <intelikey> Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
[10:06] <intelikey> The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
[10:06] <voraistos> yeah. i saw that ;)
[10:07] <sparkleytone> intelikey: is /boot mounted?
[10:07] <r0xoR> is there a way to upgrade firefox to 1.5 ?
[10:07] <r0xoR> i.e. from within synaptic?
[10:07] <imbrandon> !ff1.5
[10:07] <ubotu> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
[10:07] <intelikey> sparkleytone it's on /

[10:08] <sparkleytone> ummm
[10:08] <voraistos> strange

[10:08] <imbrandon> hda is a disk not a partition
[10:09] <ciro> hi all

[10:09] <ciro> who can tell me something bout nUbuntu?
[10:09] <sparkleytone> you can't mount a drive ...
[10:09] <intelikey> the hell i cant
[10:09] <voraistos> u cant mount a disk, just a partition
[10:09] <sparkleytone> ciro: its nU
[10:09] <imbrandon> intelikey:  should be more like / /dev/hda1 defaults 0 0
[10:09] <intelikey> no it's   / =  /dev/hda
[10:09] <voraistos> what kind of part do u have in there ?
[10:10] <intelikey> there is no partition
[10:10] <sparkleytone> intelikey: then there is no fs
[10:10] <voraistos> if u dont have any partition, u should format first ;)
[10:10] <imbrandon> intelikey: then you have no fs
[10:10] <ciro> is it different from ubuntu and what are the differencies?
[10:10] <intelikey> if this is all the help i can get here i might as well go some place where someone knows something about linux
[10:11] <intelikey> tty1 [root#~]  mount
[10:11] <ompaul> intelikey, stop trolling
[10:11] <intelikey>  /dev/hda on / type ext2 (rw,nosuid)

[10:12] <malachi> my Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g]  802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
[10:12] <malachi> has a problem
[10:13] <voraistos> which problem?
 The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
[10:13] <caustictwin> also, I have a dual boot laptop and I set my /pub/ directory to a Fat32 partition so that winXP and linux could both write to it but it appears i don't have access to write to it in linux. suggestions?
[10:13] <voraistos> remove winXP
[10:13] <sparkleytone> lol
[10:13] <ompaul> intelikey,  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto
[10:13] <imbrandon> is the /boot directory pressent on your / patition ?
[10:14] <caustictwin> voraistos, yeah, and then I can play awesome games like mahjong and break out amirite?
[10:14] <malachi> in dmesg i have: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
[10:14] <malachi> what's the solution/
[10:14] <intelikey> ompaul got that in http ?    rather than https ?
[10:14] <voraistos> caustictwin: you can play UT, doom3, enemy terrotory
[10:14] <eggzeck> Why do people have an OS just for games?
[10:14] <sparkleytone> lol
[10:14] <caustictwin> OOOOOH
[10:14] <eggzeck> That never made sense to me
[10:14] <caustictwin> SIGN ME UP
[10:14] <sparkleytone> install links-ssl
[10:15] <ciro> eggzeck, in what sence are they different?
[10:15] <caustictwin> that's the best thing about gaming on linux... you know what all the good games are
[10:15] <caustictwin> cuz they came out on PC 5 YEARS AGO
[10:15] <sparkleytone> caustictwin: whats the point of you being here?
[10:15] <caustictwin> I was looking or help
[10:15] <eggzeck> ciro, nubuntu has no gnome, no openoffice.org, etc.
[10:15] <imbrandon> umm linux == pc and ppc and arm etc, but caustictwin you can always use cedga for the latest games ;)
[10:15] <caustictwin> and then  I got trolled
[10:15] <eggzeck> ciro, while Ubuntu does ;)
[10:16] <sparkleytone> you got quipped, not trolled
[10:16] <voraistos> caustictwin: wolfenstein-like games are the best. dont bullshit me.
[10:16] <ompaul> !offtopic
[10:16] <ubotu> Non Ubuntu support related discussions may be carried out in the channel #ubuntu-offtopic. Editor/Language wars are welcome there!
[10:16] <caustictwin> so, as stated before
[10:16] <ciro> eggzeck, I need a light and fast os. may it be useful 4 me?
[10:16] <caustictwin> also, I have a dual boot laptop and I set my /pub/ directory to a Fat32 partition so that winXP and linux could both write to it but it appears i don't have access to write to it in linux. suggestions?
[10:16] <imbrandon> caustictwin: check the options in /etc/fstab for the /pub mount
[10:16] <caustictwin> how do I change the gnome splash screen image - the one that shows things loading like nautilus and such?
[10:16] <imbrandon> and also chmod the /pub dir too
[10:17] <sparkleytone> caustictwin: 2nd question should be in your system prefs somewhere
[10:17] <imbrandon> caustictwin: check gnome-look.org for splash screens
[10:17] <ompaul> caustictwin, one thing at a time - System Administration Disks
[10:17] <amac> do you have to do anything special to make use of dual cores on ubuntu?
[10:17] <imbrandon> no
[10:17] <sparkleytone> the default kernel is SMP, no?
[10:17] <voraistos> amac; what do u mean ?
[10:17] <intelikey> ompaul i see nothing on that page that pertains to fresh install of grub nor that error
[10:18] <amac> to use both cores, do you need a special kernel?
[10:18] <amac> smp right?
[10:18] <sparkleytone> amac: you shouldn't...iirc the default kernel is SMP
[10:18] <willwork4foo> amac, well - your kernel needs to be compiled to use smp.
[10:18] <amac> ok
[10:18] <imbrandon> amac: no you dont , optionaly you can install "sudo apt-get install linux-386-smp" or "linux-686-smp"
[10:18] <willwork4foo> then normal kernel is capable of being set up that way
[10:18] <sparkleytone> amac: do this "exec -o uname -a:
[10:18] <sparkleytone> amac: do this "/exec -o uname -a:
[10:18] <sparkleytone> the 2nd one
[10:18] <intelikey> so anyone got any idea why i would be getting this error "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly" ?
[10:19] <sparkleytone> meh
[10:19] <vincenz> Ok
[10:19] <vincenz> hmm
[10:19] <sparkleytone> /exec -o uname -a
[10:19] <sparkleytone> there...damn its late
[10:19] <imbrandon> intelikey: becouse it cant find /boot
[10:19] <ompaul> intelikey, that is a howto install it, if you had an error what was the error number?
[10:19] <intelikey> tty1 [root#~]  grub-install /dev/hda
[10:19] <intelikey> The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
[10:20] <vincenz> I had to reinstall grub, so I booted with install cd... This however forced me to reinstall some packages and fialed halfway.  Then I rebooted with grub, it started installing more packages from cd in TTY1 while I was in gnome, even though tha failed partially... and now it does not recognize my eth1 (wireless) interface, HELP!
[10:20] <ciro> guys installing ubuntu with server option what kinda os will I install?
[10:20] <malachi> help me please!
[10:20] <hexagene> server is the base system
[10:20] <imbrandon> ciro: ubuntu with no gui ;)
[10:20] <hexagene> it doesn't include x windows or a "desktop"
[10:20] <voraistos> ciro; i am not sure ubuntu server is really good, but i didnt try it
[10:20] <sparkleytone> just the way i like my linux
[10:21] <sparkleytone> sans-X
[10:21] <claymore666> i can't seem to get winetools at all
[10:21] <claymore666> here http://ds80-237-203-29.dedicated.hos...9jo-III.tar.gz <--- not workin
[10:21] <hexagene> anybody running Dapper?
[10:21] <voraistos> me !
[10:21] <imbrandon> i'm running dapper why>?
[10:21] <eggzeck> ciro, just the 'base' system.
[10:21] <intelikey> i have apt-get -purge remove grub   and  reinstalled it on the system even rm'd /boot/grub  between  but it still gives the same error
[10:21] <ompaul> hexagene, into #ubuntu+1 for dapper conversations thanks
[10:21] <hexagene> new to ubuntu and figured I would start with that
[10:21] <complete> hey, i just installed ubuntu: however the failed while installing the packages. Now it says I need 145 updates, but I can't get them
[10:21] <mosi> Does anyone know of a repo where i can get GIMPshop?
[10:22] <ciro> imbrandon, hexagene voraistos so I choose to install everithing I want and do not installa something I dont need like openoffice 4 example
[10:22] <hexagene> how do I alter the config so that the domainname is altered depending on my location?
[10:22] <hexagene> work, home, etc ...
[10:22] <intelikey> is grub incapable of working on a disk without a partition table ?
[10:22] <imbrandon> ciro: exactly
[10:23] <imbrandon> intelikey: yes grub needs a system.map and a partition table
[10:23] <sparkleytone> complete: base-config
[10:23] <sparkleytone> intelikey: boot from a floppy :)
[10:23] <imbrandon> ubotu: tell mosi about repositories
[10:24] <complete> sparkleytone: permission denied
[10:24] <intelikey> well lilo it is then
[10:24] <sparkleytone> complete: sudo base-config
[10:24] <mosi> imbrandon: i have all the repos listed on the site, i was wondering if there are any others that might have it
[10:24] <hexagene> anybody? location dependent domains?
[10:24] <imbrandon> mosi not in an odicial repos , goggle it
[10:25] <complete> sparkleytone: ok...
[10:25] <sparkleytone> hexagene: you mean search domain?  your machine's locally configured domain name is pretty much inconsequential
[10:25] <hexagene> well not true
[10:25] <voraistos> hexagene; i really dont know about that. but u can configure your machine to depend of multiple domains for the same interface i think.
[10:25] <hexagene> for some of the stuff I do at work, it registers my fdqn in a directory
[10:25] <sparkleytone> complete: is it installing packages?
[10:26] <complete> sparkleytone: no nothing happened
[10:26] <imbrandon> hexagene: and if you mean samba domains then you will have to write a script that edits / changes the smb.conf
[10:26] <imbrandon> on boot
[10:26] <hexagene> not samba
[10:26] <hexagene> INET hostname
[10:26] <sparkleytone> hexagene: why does your fqdn come from your own machine?  just the nature of your setup?
[10:26] <hexagene> like hexagene.home.net vs hexagene.work.com
[10:26] <imbrandon> your fqdn should come from dns reverse lookup of your ip
[10:26] <eggzeck> night all
[10:26] <hexagene> yeah
[10:27] <hexagene> well it kinda calls gethostname
[10:27] <imbrandon> ouch, messy setup
[10:27] <hexagene> life is not perfect :-)
[10:27] <sparkleytone> complete: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-base
[10:27] <hexagene> but agreed, it should use the reverse lookup
[10:28] <imbrandon> yea but in that sit you will ahve to hack a script to redo your hostname based on ip/something else on boot anyhow and load it in yout /etc/init.d scriptds
[10:28] <sparkleytone> heh...thats why i said inconsequential...def wouldnt expect that setup
[10:28] <borje> hi
[10:28] <complete> sparkleytone: nothing, just goes to next line
[10:28] <imbrandon> basicly hexagene with a non-standard setup like that you will need a non-standard script probbly self written ;)
[10:28] <sparkleytone> complete: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[10:29] <hexagene> hmm, could do that, would be ideal to just adopt the dhcp dns domain
[10:29] <borje> I need flash-player and mplayer and corresponding plugins and codecs - How to proceed?
[10:29] <complete> sparkleytone: same thing
[10:29] <imbrandon> ubotu:  tell borje about restricted
[10:29] <Determinist> gotta love sitting out in the sun enjoying the wonders of wifi :P
[10:29] <sparkleytone> absolutely no feedback?
[10:29] <imbrandon> Determinist: yea except its 3am here ;)
[10:29] <complete> sparkleytone: nothing, just goes to next line
[10:29] <hexagene> hmm, no simple way to just grab the DHCP info ... darn
[10:30] <Determinist> imbrandon, yeah well, that could be a problem :)
[10:30] <sparkleytone> errrrm
[10:30] <sparkleytone> complete: sudo apt-get check
[10:30] <imbrandon> brb gonna grab some coffee and such
[10:31] <sparkleytone> seems like apt isn't even configured
[10:31] <sparkleytone> and base-config isn't doing anything...
[10:31] <complete> sparkleytone: same thing
[10:32] <sparkleytone> complete: i'm guessing your on a diff machine?
[10:32] <root__> hey there
[10:32] <wenko> I need a 'lil help please
[10:32] <ompaul> wenko, don't irc as root, it is not a good idea
[10:32] <wenko> lol...im in recouvery mode...
[10:32] <sparkleytone> heh ompaul beat me to it
[10:32] <complete> sparkleytone: no, it boots ok, but very few apps run, wont update
[10:33] <wenko> well...How do i fix the default resolution
[10:33] <wenko> its outside of that my monitor can handle
[10:33] <ompaul> !tell wenko about resolution
[10:33] <malachi> how do i fix this error: "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready"
[10:33] <sparkleytone> complete: in your irc client type this ... /exec -o uname -a

[10:35] <eggzeck> wenko, even better :)
[10:35] <vincenz> but whenever I do ifup eth1
[10:35] <voraistos> i am not sure vim is shipped with ubuntu, u will have to apt-get it
[10:35] <vincenz> or ifup ETH0
[10:35] <snoopy11hk> i wanna back to windows partition
[10:36] <vincenz> I get Unknown interface eth0=eth0
[10:36] <eggzeck> I should be sleeping

[10:36] <sparkleytone> ohhhhhhh
[10:36] <sparkleytone> complete
[10:36] <vincenz> Could anyone help?
[10:36] <sparkleytone> complete: cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:37] <borje> can i put some universal line in apt sources.list to get rid of all ubuntu/debian stupidity?
[10:37] <vincenz> :/
[10:37] <zenit> I rather think this windows user just wants to choose at boot, maybe he didn't install grub?
[10:37] <claymore666> guys your wine setup walkthru "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=149585" doesn't work for me, the links are broken/ bad
[10:37] <vincenz> I'm having problems with my et0...
[10:37] <zenit> :)
[10:37] <sparkleytone> i don't use windows anymore, even at work where i support it
[10:37] <ompaul> vincenz, system administration networking and have a poke inthere for enabling the cards
[10:37] <hastesaver> borje, what does that mean?
[10:37] <vincenz> ompaul: where might I find this?
[10:37] <vincenz> ah ok
[10:37] <vincenz> nm
[10:37] <ompaul> vincenz, that is menu stuff
[10:37] <sparkleytone> complete: still there?
[10:37] <ompaul> !enter
[10:37] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying.
[10:38] <borje> hastesaver, it means, that it will install the packages i want, without complaining over impossibilities
[10:38] <complete> sparkleytone: yeah, that's brought up distro info
[10:38] <ompaul> borje, ehh no you can put in the ubuntu line main restricted universe multiverse - but stuff outside of that may break your machine in new and interesting ways
[10:39] <HIGH-FREQ> how do i add a module to be auto loaded?   or do i just add the module into the /etc/modprobe.d/  directory
[10:39] <ompaul> borje, they are set up like that for a reason and it works
[10:39] <vincenz> ompaul: damn.... ipw2200 98.5% cpu, and my wifi-led keeps flickering
[10:39] <sparkleytone> so you have entries that look like "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main" ?
[10:39] <sparkleytone> complete: ?
[10:39] <hastesaver> borje, if something is impossible, it obviously can't help complaining that it's impossible :)
[10:39] <borje> ompaul, well what is the use with ubuntu then, if you cannot use flash and you cannot use video and nothing works?
[10:39] <ompaul> !tell vincenz about wireless
[10:39] <hastesaver> borje, you can use everything
[10:40] <hastesaver> !tell borje about restricted
[10:40] <complete> sparkleytonw: deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)] / breezy main restricted
[10:40] <ompaul> borje, hehe, you read the page wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[10:40] <sparkleytone> complete: is that the only entry?
[10:40] <borje> hastesaver, i cannot see my video files and it wont play flash sites on mozilla :(
[10:40] <complete> sparkleytone: no there's a fair bit more
[10:40] <ompaul> borje, and implement them, give out the the makers of those items and if they get shouted at enough they may wake up
[10:40] <hastesaver> borje, did you read that page and follow the instructions?
[10:40] <tech_> !wine
[10:41] <borje> hastesaver, yeah, and it was unmet dependencies
[10:41] <sparkleytone> complete: are they full domain names or do they look like http://.archive.ubuntu........
[10:41] <HIGH-FREQ> how do i add a module to be auto loaded?   or do i just add the module into the /etc/modprobe.d/  directory
[10:41] <ompaul> voraistos, its not hard - wiki.ubuntu.com/ SomeThing if you know the something its really easy
[10:41] <sparkleytone> ?
[10:41] <borje> and flash-plugin was not to be found but some libflash
[10:41] <hastesaver> borje, can you pastebin the contents of  your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[10:41] <voraistos> ompaul: LOL
[10:42] <ompaul> !tell borje about easysource
[10:42] <sparkleytone> HIGH-FREQ: /etc/modules
[10:42] <HIGH-FREQ> aaah ok ;)
[10:42] <sparkleytone> HIGH-FREQ: # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
[10:42] <HIGH-FREQ> k..gotcha
[10:42] <HIGH-FREQ> thx much
[10:42] <complete> they all seem to be full (http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) but all say restricted
[10:42] <sparkleytone> welcome
[10:43] <sparkleytone> complete: thats fine...restricted is a repo
[10:43] <complete> sparkleytone: ok
[10:43] <ompaul> !tell complete about easysource
[10:43] <sparkleytone> complete: they aren't commented out?
[10:43] <sparkleytone> !tell sparkleytone about easysource
[10:43] <borje> i do apt-get install flash-plugin but it is not to be found - what is it called - try apt-cache search as well but to no avail :(
[10:44] <xnuke> hi
[10:44] <hastesaver> sparkleytone, to find out for yourself, it's better to type "/msg ubotu easysource"
[10:44] <wenko[Linux] > ok so i still cant get this thing to load up right
[10:44] <voraistos> borje: the damn adobe website is pure crap. dont bother with flash for the moment.
[10:44] <ompaul> sparkleytone, been there do >> /msg ubotu Factoid <<to see that - cuts down channel traffic
[10:44] <sparkleytone> lol cool
[10:44] <wenko[Linux] > the monitor is still out of range
[10:44] <hastesaver> borje, what is your /etc/apt/sources.list file?
[10:44] <complete> sparkleytone: i don't know what that means, sorry
[10:44] <sparkleytone> it told me
[10:44] <ompaul> voraistos, we want a G rated channel please think BBC R4 saturday morning breakfast time :-)
[10:44] <sparkleytone> why would they style css on a linux page to include text-shadow???
[10:45] <sparkleytone> thats ridiculous.
[10:45] <vincenz> ompaul: muchas gracias,
[10:45] <concept10> Anyone Rails users here?
[10:45] <borje>  deb http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe
[10:45] <borje>  and deb http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-backports main restricted universe multiverse and deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security main restricted + the sources
[10:45] <ompaul> vincenz, enjoy
[10:45] <xnuke> looooooooooooooooooooooooooool
[10:45] <sparkleytone> complete: is there a # in front of the lines
[10:45] <voraistos> hastesaver; the adobe website is down, and for some reason there is no way to install the proper flash.
[10:46] <sparkleytone> the only browser i know that even renders the text-shadow is Safari
[10:46] <hastesaver> voraistos, what does flash have to do with adobe?
[10:46] <complete> sparkleytone: yes, except infront of the 2 security ones
[10:46] <sparkleytone> hastesaver: they own it
[10:46] <sparkleytone> complete: remove the #
[10:46] <voraistos> hastesaver: macromedia belongs to adobe
[10:46] <ompaul> sparkleytone, to they do cos they can - mac users can see the site
[10:46] <sparkleytone> ompaul: i know that much... i AM one ;)
[10:47] <hastesaver> voraistos, But I got flashplugin-nonfree from the multiverse repo, not from the flash's site
[10:47] <sparkleytone> complete: then put a # in front of the cdrom one...then sudo apt-get update
[10:47] <complete> sparkleytone: in the terminal?
[10:47] <voraistos> hastesaver: i know that, but for some reason it doesnt work!
[10:47] <hastesaver> borje, look at http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[10:47] <sparkleytone> complete: the last part yeah
[10:47] <thug> hi all
[10:48] <complete> sparkleytone: i dont seem to be able to edit it
[10:48] <thug> i just installed ubuntu ... what do i need to install now to be able to run kde desktop? what packages ?
[10:48] <concept10> Anyone use SQLite?
[10:48] <sparkleytone> complete: sudo nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:48] <borje> grrr, ubuntu is not for me - i dislike it - too much restrictivity and reading
[10:48] <jtd_> restrictivity and reading?
[10:48] <sparkleytone> its probably a stretch to expect nano to be installed
[10:48] <thug> borje lool aint true
[10:48] <hastesaver> thug, kubuntu-desktop
[10:49] <thug> hastesaver its that it ?
[10:49] <sparkleytone> restrictivity ... totally not a word.
[10:49] <ompaul> borje, you have been thought the wrong things, restrictions are on the closed source side
[10:49] <borje> i will try to find a better distro
[10:49] <hastesaver> borje, what exactly is your problem now?
[10:49] <complete> sparkleytone: that asked for a password but then nothing
[10:49] <borje> i want mplayer and the codecs and flashplayer
[10:50] <sparkleytone> complete: insert cd...reinstall using the default install
[10:50] <jtd_> what you REALLY want is vlc. :)
[10:50] <hastesaver> borje, ok. I have mplayer and the codecs and flashplayer, so it can be done, and it is easy
[10:50] <complete> sparkleytone: ok, thanks
[10:50] <sparkleytone> complete: sorry
[10:50] <zcat[1] > sudo apt-get install mplayer-586 w32codecs flashplugin-nonfree
[10:50] <hastesaver> borje, first paste the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file somewhere (use pastebin)
[10:50] <zcat[1] > that was hard?
[10:51] <voraistos> borje; follow the damn howto, they tell u absolutly everything u have to do
[10:51] <voraistos> borje: just give up on flash for the moment
[10:51] <thug> zcat[1]  w32codecs its not available here
[10:51] <hastesaver> zcat[1] , he doesn't have multiverse I think, so it won't work
[10:51] <hastesaver> borje, no, don't give up on flash :)
[10:52] <zcat[1] > you may want java too; sudo apt-get install sun-j2re1.5
[10:52] <voraistos> borje; yes do, i did ! dont spend an entire week on that (*^*&^$^
[10:52] <hastesaver> voraistos, it only takes a few seconds! :p
[10:53] <zcat[1] > synaptic, config, add, check two boxes, apt-get a bunch of stuff.. what's the problem?!!
[10:53] <voraistos> hastesaver: no..... if i had a cam, i would send u the vids ;)
[10:53] <hastesaver> voraistos, if you do it right, it only takes a few seconds ;)
[10:53] <borje> hastesaver, it says the mplayer-586 is not available now but there is a reference to some other package??? (translating from swedish)
[10:53] <thug> zcat[1]  can you please paste your spurce.list on paste bin ? sun-j2re1.5 and  w32codecs are  not available here i did enable all the repos
[10:53] <voraistos> hastesaver; uninstall it completly, and reinstall from internet sources. u' ll see
[10:53] <hastesaver> borje, that is because your sources.list is not complete; please tell us what is in that file (paste it using pastebin)
[10:54] <borje> what is pastebin
[10:54] <zcat[1] > ahh.. come to think of it I think I added some other repos.. get source o matic to build a sources list for you..
[10:54] <zcat[1] > (mine won't help, I run dapper)
[10:54] <thug> zcat[1]  get what ?
[10:54] <hastesaver> !tell borje about pastebin
[10:54] <claymore666> peoples, i keep getting an error saying nautilus has unexpectedly quit
[10:54] <zcat[1] > google 'source o matic' and click the first result
[10:54] <claymore666> what's the deal ? :/
[10:55] <hastesaver> voraistos, Oh, flashplugin-nonfree tries to download it from Macromedia; I have flashplayer-mozilla installed
[10:55] <luke> can I play the x86 version of Enemy Terrirtory on my AMD64 machine? (amd64 kernel)
[10:55] <voraistos> borje; which version of ubuntu are u using ?
[10:56] <zcat[1] > hastesaver: depends how much flash you need.. the GPL flash plugin doesn't work on some sites.
[10:56] <hastesaver> zcat[1] , It's worked for me everywhere -- can you point me to a site where it doesn't work?
[10:56] <heartboy> on parle franais ici??
[10:56] <voraistos> the GPL works only a little bit. it makes my firefox crash actually
[10:56] <luke> i can play ut2004, but i just want to make sure ETx86 will run on my amd64 before I download the whole thing
[10:56] <zcat[1] > my kids are hassling me to set up windows mozilla with shockwave under wine so they can play some shockwave games now..
[10:56] <voraistos> moi oui ;)
[10:57] <zcat[1] > try neopets
[10:57] <hastesaver> zcat[1] , And I don't think flashplayer-mozilla is a GPL flash player; it *is* macromedia's flash that has been packaged, I think
[10:57] <borje> ok it is sent to paste.bin - sources.list for borje
[10:57] <zcat[1] > most of the games need macromedia's flash
[10:57] <heartboy> ok
[10:57] <claymore666> where else can i get winetools
[10:57] <heartboy> donc on peut coser!!
[10:57] <claymore666> apart from the one ubotu tells you to goto
[10:57] <voraistos> heartboy: ya un canal en francais, surement #ubuntu-fr
[10:57] <heartboy> ah bon!
[10:58] <hastesaver> borje, good! Now do this -- go to http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[10:58] <borje> i am there
[10:58] <voraistos> heartboy: oui, parceque bon si je continue je vais me faire engueuler ;)
[10:58] <ompaul> !fr
[10:58] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[10:58] <vmadmin> hey
[10:58] <voraistos> ompaul: i just told him ;)
[10:59] <heartboy> ok
[10:59] <ompaul> voraistos, what is the french for Doh!, tres bien
[10:59] <zcat[1] > je ne sais pas!
[10:59] <fm_> hi
[10:59] <voraistos> ompaul: no translation for Doh! this is a hommer simpson thing
[11:00] <zcat[1] > btw it's spelled D'oh!
[11:00] <vmadmin> trying to understand how out of a toal 768MB RAM I am useing 230 MB RAM just for ubuntu server with fluxbox?
[11:00] <fm_> has anybody achieved to rotate its display under ubuntu?
[11:00] <voraistos> rotate?
[11:00] <fm_> yes, with xrandr
[11:00] <zcat[1] > vmadmin: If you're not using it for anything else, linux will suck it up as cache rather than leave it wasted..
[11:00] <voraistos> are u crazy? dont talk about scary things like that !
[11:01] <fm_> huh?
[11:01] <voraistos> fm_: i dunno about rotating, but graphics under linux are... well.....
[11:01] <zcat[1] > fm_: you mean compiz? hell yeah!! running it now.
[11:02] <fm_> lol u're damn right voraistos
[11:02] <fm_> unfortunately
[11:02] <zcat[1] > All hail Quinn, godess of the 3d desktop!
[11:02] <claymore666> can anyone seem to connect to http://ds80-237-203-29.dedicated.hosteurope.de/wt/winetools-0.9jo-III.tar.gz
[11:02] <claymore666> cause i cant :/
[11:03] <DBO> God...ess?  I assumed quinn was a dude
[11:03] <vmadmin> zcat(1) cache  umm ok  is cached RAM userable and how for example in a vmWARE SITUATION?
[11:03] <voraistos> quinn isnt a girl's name ?
[11:03] <hastesaver> zcat[1] , btw, I just checked neopets as you said, it works for me :p
[11:03] <vmadmin> DBO: hi never assume
[11:03] <voraistos> lol
[11:04] <zcat[1] > hastesaver: some games work, many don't.. a few need shockwave
[11:04] <hastesaver> voraistos, you're thinking of "queen" :)
[11:04] <DBO> vmadmin, around here quinn is more commonly a boys name..
[11:04] <hastesaver> zcat[1] , give an example
[11:04] <ompaul> OY! first off its a surname and second off offtopic
[11:04] <zcat[1] > dunno.. ask Cairo :)
[11:04] <DBO> right
[11:04] <voraistos> nope. i met the queen of england. i know what it looks like.
[11:04] <ompaul> !offtopic
[11:04] <ubotu> Non Ubuntu support related discussions may be carried out in the channel #ubuntu-offtopic. Editor/Language wars are welcome there!
[11:04] <vmadmin> DBO: OK over its irish and its a surname
[11:05] <zcat[1] > Quinn Storm ?
[11:05] <pavlix> Hi ubuntu people
[11:05] <hastesaver> borje, still there?
[11:05] <kevor> fm_: i got the solution: put Option "RandrRotation" "on" in your Device section in the xorg.con file
[11:05] <kevor> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-21185.html
[11:05] <miracle> Hi?
[11:05] <zcat[1] > ontopic, since QuinnStorm is person who repackages compiz for ubuntu :-P
[11:06] <vmadmin> zcat(1) talk to me please about cached RAM
[11:06] <hastesaver> ompaul, you don't need to be op to type !offtopic, do you? ;)
[11:06] <heartboy> can i have VNC on uboutu??
[11:06] <ompaul> hastesaver, no but I might be hinting at something ... if you get my drift
[11:06] <fm_> thx kevor I'll try this
[11:07] <zcat[1] > vmadmin: Idon't know much, other than afaik linux uses anything spare as cache.. not sure how this applies to you. lots of ram in use doesn't always mean it can't easily be freed up if required somewhere else.
[11:08] <ompaul> vmadmin, the idea is that ram is faster than disk, pograms get loaded and do not get really junked even when turned off the cache is available if something can be cached it will be
[11:08] <hastesaver> heartboy, yes. Type "/msg ubotu vnc" for the instructions
[11:08] <heartboy> ok thnaks
[11:09] <vmadmin> heartboy: yes see http://www.howtoforums.net/viewtopic.php?t=5
[11:10] <hastesaver> zcat[1] , are you *sure* there is some flash thing linux won't play? I haven't seen any examples
[11:10] <miracle> well, is flash still popular?
[11:11] <ompaul> miracle, it is in some multimedia training situations
[11:11] <wenko> how do I update firefox
[11:12] <hastesaver> miracle, unfortunately, it is with some people
[11:12] <voraistos> hey! i was thinking, cant we install flash like shockwave, in a wine/mozilla plugin ?
[11:12] <vmadmin> ompaul: ok but when i run "free" command the amount that is used say for example 230MB RAM so if i minus that from total 710 mb RAM the diffrence is avilable for ie visualization?
[11:12] <hastesaver> !tell wenko about firefox1.5
[11:12] <zcat[1] > There's some things the GPL plugin can't handle.  And there's no native shockwave plugin, but you can run windows firefox with the windows shockwave plugin under wine..
[11:12] <AlmtyBob> ivtv isn't loading my firmware, I think it's looking for a FIRMWARE_DIR but my firmware.agent only has FIRMWARE_DIRS
[11:12] <AlmtyBob> can I add FIRMWARE_DIR or smth to that file?
[11:12] <AlmtyBob> or fix it another day?
[11:13] <AlmtyBob> day=way
[11:13] <ompaul> vmadmin, start running multiple instances of OO and one of emacs watch that number increase
[11:13] <zcat[1] > trust me, cairo found a game last weekend that wouldn't play and made me install the nonfree package so it would work
[11:13] <hastesaver> zcat[1] , I don't know about the GPL plugin; but the plugin I installed with the package "flashplayer-mozilla" from multiverse has played everything I've ever seen
[11:13] <hastesaver> zcat[1] , Yes, this one is nonfree too :)
[11:13] <thug> zcat[1]  i just create the source list  and paste it into source.list and i still cannot find sun-j2re1.5 and w32codecs  any ideea ?
[11:13] <zcat[1] > yeah, not sure which one I installed.. the nonfree one definately works.
[11:14] <zcat[1] > apt-get update
[11:14] <voraistos> thug : click reload in the synaptic
[11:14] <voraistos> lol
[11:14] <zcat[1] > .. or that.
[11:14] <vmadmin> ompaul: at the end of the day to run vmware i need more RAM
[11:14] <thug> voraistos lool did
[11:14] <zcat[1] > what repos did you add?
[11:14] <ompaul> STOP A SEC, if Java / Codecs / Flash Look at wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats there are detailed instructions from beginning to end on almost anything
[11:15] <ompaul> or
[11:15] <ompaul> !easyubuntu
[11:15] <ompaul> !+easyubuntu
[11:15] <ubotu> easyubuntu is an easy-to-use program for installing all your favorites. Java, Nvidia/ATI, and more. It is as safe as the team can make it. It doesn't change any settings by default. http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/. If you want to chat about EasyUbuntu, please join #easyubuntu
[11:15] <voraistos> isnt easy ubuntu like Automatix ?
[11:15] <ompaul> voraistos, no
[11:15] <ompaul> !automatix
[11:15] <ubotu> it has been said that automatix is unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, such as !easyubuntu.
[11:15] <thug> zcat[1]  http://pastebin.com/703170
[11:15] <jtd_> !easyubuntu
[11:15] <zcat[1] > "by default" != "click on everything like most Windows users do"
[11:16] <ompaul> jtd_, its scroll back a few lines there
[11:16] <voraistos> i know that automatix screws people's systems ;)
[11:17] <ompaul> please cease with the ramblings, as I have said conversations in #ubuntu-offtopic this is a support channel
[11:17] <thug> zcat[1]  would you have a look at that file please ?
[11:17] <vmadmin> ompaul: for my labtop 1gig of RAM is 90 in the shop called PC world
[11:17] <thug> vmadmin :))
[11:17] <jtd_> I gott say
[11:17] <thug> vmadmin from UK ?
[11:18] <vmadmin> thug: yep
[11:18] <jtd_> easyUbuntu looks pretty frickin' amazing
[11:18] <ompaul> vmadmin, I would be using xen if its linux based
[11:18] <vmadmin> ompaul; it is an why would you use Xen  please
[11:18] <zcat[1] > thug: add Seveas' packages I think.. or take a look at what ompaul posted :)
[11:19] <thug> can someone please have a look at my source.list and tell me what repos do i have to add so i can get sun-j2re1.5 and w32codecs ? ( http://pastebin.com/703170 )
[11:19] <ompaul> vmadmin, because you can, and it OSS and xen is virtualisation
[11:19] <zcat[1] > any of the repos that claim to have flash/java/w32codecs in them ;)
[11:19] <jayanta> hay
[11:19] <hastesaver> thug, are you sure you don't have it already?
[11:20] <thug> zcat[1]  well i know that .. but you guys said multiverse has it
[11:20] <thug> hastesaver dont have what ? sun-j2re1.5 and w32codecs ?
[11:20] <zcat[1] > I thought multiverse did .. at least w32codecs and flash anyhow.
[11:20] <miracle> the flash/java/w32codec is the pain of the free source
[11:20] <vmadmin> ompaul; my family use the computer sometimes and they need windows Xen does not support windows?
[11:20] <jtd_> don't you have to *start* with Xen if you're going to use it?
[11:20] <ompaul> vmadmin, okay so then why vm when dual boot will do
[11:20] <jtd_> i.e. you can't install it after the fact
[11:21] <hastesaver> thug, yes. Try the seveas source and/or the ftp.free.fr one
[11:21] <mikedep333> hey, what's the general linux command to list all the hardware info?
[11:21] <ompaul> mikedep333, go to /proc and look about there
[11:21] <zcat[1] > mikedep333: lshw
[11:21] <thug> so no one know what repos do i need to add to my source.list to be able to install sun-j2re1.5 and w32codecs ?
[11:22] <zcat[1] > lspci is also fairly informative
[11:22] <vmadmin> ompaul: because i am going to run postfix server in linux with a windows sofware package (win2003 server in vm
[11:22] <imbrandon> !restricted
[11:22] <ubotu> [restricted]  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[11:22] <mikedep333> I see some ls* stuff that would help
[11:22] <wenko> ...quick question...Im trying to log onto check my email in a webmail client in firefox...the old version of firefox let me in, but I cant seem to open the site now because it tells me that the site does not have any compatible encryption
[11:22] <hastesaver> thug, I already told you -- the seveas repo has them, and the ftp.free.fr repo also have them
[11:22] <zcat[1] > thug: add Seveas' packages or read what ompaul posted
[11:22] <ompaul> vmadmin, okay
[11:23] <zcat[1] > .. or both.
[11:23] <thug> zcat[1]  i tryed easyubuntu couple of weeks ago and it didnt work
[11:23] <vmadmin> ompaul; i agree that Xen would be better in some respects
[11:23] <mikedep333> hmm, ok, I just want to identify my hard drive model from the command line
[11:23] <ompaul> thug Look at wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats there are detailed instructions from beginning to end on almost anything or go to #easyubuntu
[11:24] <zcat[1] > easyubuntu isn't as easy as it could be.. I prefer adding a few repos and using apt-get or synaptic
[11:24] <heartboy> i can't read
[11:24] <ompaul> zcat[1] , file a bug on it in launchpad
[11:24] <heartboy> media files like mp3
[11:24] <zcat[1] > I sent the developers some suggestions.. apparently they went to /dev/null :(
[11:25] <imbrandon> ubotu: tell heartboy about restricted
[11:25] <zcat[1] > I was very polite too.
[11:25] <vmadmin> ompaul: i am tempted to do an experiment to set up xen then try to run vm workstation or server inside of xen or visa vera but not sure that it would work--just to know really
[11:25] <ompaul> vmadmin, thats just perverse :)
[11:26] <teletubbie> can .ogg be used for video files?
[11:26] <vmadmin> ompaul: maybe then persion is a subject that is offtopic
[11:26] <vmadmin> perversion
[11:26] <zcat[1] > ogg's a media container, you can put all kinds of media in it.
[11:26] <voraistos> ogg can be used in ogm container
[11:26] <zcat[1] > == yes
[11:26] <claymore666> is it a must to install IE6 with wintools ?
[11:26] <voraistos> use ogg and xvid in ogm
[11:27] <hexagene> has the x-window-system-dev meta packate been removed from dapper?
[11:27] <vmadmin> ompaul: FC5 and suse 10.1 have Xen built in
[11:27] <wenko> anyone know why firefox wont let me on to a site...it says it doesnt share any encrpytion methods with the sire
[11:27] <wenko> site
[11:28] <ompaul> hexagene, go to the dapper channel #ubuntu+1 thanks
[11:28] <ompaul> vmadmin, and so will eft

[11:30] <mikedep333> it gives me the warning that it is using low grade encyption
[11:31] <mikedep333> you're not using an unstable version of firefox are you? they're removing support for old encyption schemes in browsers

[11:38] <jorgepeixotomora> Hi guys. I have burnt an ISO to a cd, and when i use gnomebaker to extract an ISO from the cd, it complains that a certain sector cant be read. When i dd if=/dev/hdc of=file.iso the md5sums do not match. I then tried another cd, and the exact same thing happens(even with the same md5sum). What's going on?

[11:53] <DesTroYed> Hmmm kz
[11:53] <soundray> DesTroYed: there is a way to switch between keyboard groups. Look at keyboard preferences
[11:53] <soundray> !helpme
[11:53] <ubotu> If you do not actually ask a question, we cannot actually help you. :)
[11:53] <DesTroYed> soundray Okay Thanks i will try now
[11:54] <ferronica> how to install applications in ubuntu like windows???
[11:54] <eobanb> !tell Ferronica about apt
[11:54] <zcat[1] > linux is not windows :)
[11:54] <Kennie> tnx god it isnt
[11:55] <ThreeFinity> Is there a way that I can download and mount the ubuntu cd image from within the livecd environment to replace the CD for an install?
[11:55] <zcat[1] > or did you want to run windows apps in ubuntu? that would be wine...
[11:55] <hajuu> whats the difference between anacron and cron? anacron repeats?
[11:55] <ThreeFinity> my cd image has corrupted files on it
[11:55] <ThreeFinity> so I can't install from the CD
[11:56] <ThreeFinity> I can run the livecd environment though
[11:56] <ThreeFinity> and setup my network obviously
[11:56] <eobanb> ThreeFinity, so re-download it?
[11:56] <ThreeFinity> can't
[11:56] <soundray> ThreeFinity: I don't think it's possible. It would be good if it was, though.
[11:56] <ThreeFinity> no OS
[11:56] <paniq> hey, how do i get xchat 2.6 for breezy badger?
[11:56] <eobanb> ThreeFinity, you said you could boot from the livecd
[11:56] <DesTroYed> soundray Thanks alooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot
[11:56] <DesTroYed> its workin now
[11:56] <DesTroYed> He He He
[11:56] <ThreeFinity> yes I can boot from the liveCD
[11:56] <eobanb> ThreeFinity, do you have two CD drives?
[11:56] <ThreeFinity> yes
[11:56] <eobanb> so what's the problem?
[11:56] <DesTroYed> any time for prayin in egypt C Ya all after prayer
[11:56] <paniq> hey, how do i get xchat 2.6 for ubuntu 5.10?
[11:56] <hajuu> whats the difference between anacron and cron? anacron repeats?
[11:56] <ThreeFinity> 1 burner 1 dvd
[11:57] <soundray> ThreeFinity: you could try a server install and see if that runs through in spite of the corrupted files
[11:57] <ThreeFinity> good idea
[11:57] <ThreeFinity> so hmm
[11:57] <eobanb> ThreeFinity, so boot from the livecd, re-download the image, burn the image to a blank disc, and install from that new disc
[11:57] <soundray> DesTroYed: I like to be the reason for such enthusiasm ;)
[11:57] <ThreeFinity> how can I burn the image from the livecd ?
[11:57] <ThreeFinity> soundray it fails the files on the base system installation
[11:57] <InfraredNosedRei> Hi everybody! How do I use/install Canon Pixma iP1500 under ubuntu/edubuntu 5.10?
[11:57] <ThreeFinity> on ..glibc I believe
[11:58] <protocol1> paniq, i would recommend that you find a repository with that version
[11:58] <eobanb> ThreeFinity, you said you had two drives.  you boot the liveCD from the DVD drive, and burn the image with a blank disc in the RW drive
[11:58] <zcat[1] > ThreeFinity: if you have two cd drives
[11:58] <soundray> ThreeFinity: with nautilus, you can burn an iso
[11:58] <Jimmey__> I've just installed GRUB to the MBR (hd0), but I can guarantee that when I boot up ( without using the liveCD ), it will say that the boot sector's invalid. What's the problem?
[11:58] <zcat[1] > make a small partition, download the ISO to it,burn a new CD
[11:58] <ThreeFinity> does nautilus work in command line?
[11:58] <eobanb> ThreeFinity, no..
[11:58] <Jimmey__> And how can I edit the menu.lst of grub installed to the MBR?
[11:58] <ThreeFinity> well the livecd environment is command line only
[11:58] <eobanb> Jimmey__, with a text editor?
[11:59] <eobanb> ThreeFinity, uh, no..
[11:59] <soundray> Jimmey__: it's in your ubuntu root, in /boot/grub/
[11:59] <ThreeFinity> erm
[11:59] <ThreeFinity> the boot environment
[11:59] <zcat[1] > cdrecord is textmode
[11:59] <ThreeFinity> when Is tick in the disk for the install
[11:59] <Jimmey__> Will it be on the partition I defined as "root" in the grub prompt?
[11:59] <eobanb> ThreeFinity, ...?
[11:59] <ThreeFinity> I'm not running the actual 700mb livecd
[11:59] <ThreeFinity> I'm using the installcd
[11:59] <eobanb> ...
[11:59] <soundray> Jimmey__: you mount the ubuntu root with 'mount /dev/hda1 /mnt', then edit /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst (replace hda1 appropriately)
[11:59] <eobanb> that's totally different, ThreeFinity
[11:59] <zcat[1] > for future reference md5sum your iso's before you burn them :)
[11:59] <ThreeFinity> my bad
[11:59] <ThreeFinity> sorta noobish
[12:00] <eobanb> the liveCD is the liveCD
[12:00] <ThreeFinity> k
[12:00] <ThreeFinity> so from the boot installer environment
[12:00] <to0om> hi folks, why can't i play mp3s with xine although i have all w32codecs installed?
[12:00] <ThreeFinity> can I download the installcd image
[12:00] <eobanb> ThreeFinity, you're going to have to find another computer and burn the disc.  if you have no OS on the drive and no working install CD i dont see what you can really do
[12:00] <ThreeFinity> mount it to a temp dir
[12:00] <ThreeFinity> then change the location of the intallation media
[12:00] <ThreeFinity> to the temp dir with the image?
[12:00] <soundray> Is it possible to interrupt a mysql query running in the command line client, without killing the command line client itself (ie. without Ctrl-C)?
[12:00] <eobanb> ThreeFinity, i'd try a server install, maybe
[12:01] <eobanb> and seeing if that works.
[12:01] <ThreeFinity> I jsut don't know how to set the destination of the installation media in the installer
[12:01] <ThreeFinity> actually
[12:01] <ferronica> there one torrent i wanna d/l here what i do
[12:01] <eobanb> ferronica, ...?
[12:01] <eobanb> ferronica, can you please re-phrase your question
[12:02] <ThreeFinity> if I do mount -t iso9660 will that make it detect the image as an actual cdrom drive?
[12:02] <ThreeFinity> or perhaps hmm
[12:02] <ThreeFinity> I think I can trick it
[12:02] <xixaq> If I lock the current account in order to log in as another, does the previous account still run? Or does the programs freeze?
[12:02] <ferronica> eobanb: as we download torrents files in windows using utorrent, now here how to d/l it
[12:02] <zcat[1] > xixaq: still runs
[12:03] <ThreeFinity> the ubuntu installer uses a temp dir for the cdrom called /cdrom
[12:03] <sp3tt> I was trying to boot up the live cd (5.04) on one of my computers... However, my keyboard won't work.
[12:03] <eobanb> ferronica, are you asking what bittorrent programme to use in ubuntu?
[12:03] <ThreeFinity> if I umount the cdrom dir I can mount the image to /cdrom as -t iso9660
[12:03] <sp3tt> So it's not that easy to boot.
[12:03] <ThreeFinity> and continue the sintall like that
[12:03] <ferronica> eobanb: yes
[12:03] <ThreeFinity> anybody know the command to mount an iso image?
[12:03] <sp3tt> I've checked the cables and switched batteries...
[12:03] <ferronica> eobanb: but i wanna install utorrent not bitcomet
[12:03] <JinRoh> Hello please someone could help me, I don't get any sound in Enemy Territory and console says "sound system is muted" , why?
[12:04] <ThreeFinity> mount -t iso9660 something something something
[12:04] <sp3tt> Wireless keyboard.
[12:04] <eobanb> ferronica, utorrent is a windows app
[12:04] <soundray> ThreeFinity: 'sudo mount -o loop -t isofs /dev/hdc /mntpoint/'
[12:04] <ThreeFinity> ah ty
[12:04] <soundray> ThreeFinity: sorry, that was wrong
[12:04] <ferronica> eobanb: i think it is also available for linux tooo
[12:04] <zcat[1] > ferronica: sudo apt-get install gnome-btdownload  and then you should find a nice GUI bittorrent client in your gnome menu..
[12:04] <soundray> ThreeFinity: 'sudo mount -o loop -t isofs isofile.iso /mntpoint/'
[12:05] <InfraredNosedRei> Hi, what is the standard password for root in edubuntu to "install new applications" (via menu and sudo)? It is not the password of the first installed user.
[12:05] <soundray> !tell InfraredNosedRei about root
[12:05] <eobanb> ferronica, uh, i dont think so, unless you want to try it under wine, but i see no reason to do that since there are native bittorrent apps available

[12:06] <ompaul> soundray, ^^^
[12:06] <sp3tt> Is the ubunutu live cd supposed to work with wireless keyboards? PS/2.
[12:06] <ferronica> eobanb: it didnt found anythin
[12:07] <jorgepeixotomora> I tried from nautilus and I killed another cd.
[12:07] <ferronica> eobanb: i tried that command
[12:07] <soundray> ompaul: won't isofs work?
[12:07] <eobanb> ferronica, what command

[12:07] <pavlix> hi, people... I want a minimal graphical system....
[12:07] <JinRoh> Hello please someone could help me, I don't get any sound in Enemy Territory and console says "sound system is muted" , why?
[12:08] <zcat[1] > (normally you can leave out -t iso9660, it gets autodeteced :)
[12:08] <pavlix> what is the best to try... I've just installed ubuntu
[12:08] <ferronica>  sudo apt-get install gnome-btdownload
[12:08] <eobanb> !tell pavlix about Xfce
[12:08] <soundray> JinRoh: no idea. Run alsamixer in a terminal and unmute it.
[12:08] <pavlix> it's on a 200MHz pentium with 64 ram
[12:08] <JinRoh> alsamixer doesn't start
[12:09] <ferronica> eobanb: now what i install
[12:09] <eobanb> pavlix, Xfce ought to work, but if you find even that is too slow, check out fluxbox
[12:09] <soundray> JinRoh: have you looked at the troubleshooting page someone linked to you earlier?
[12:09] <soundray> !sound
[12:09] <ubotu> Help to fix issues with sound can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems or http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundProblemsHoary
[12:09] <kitty_> Hi all together
[12:09] <JinRoh> soundray,  yes
[12:09] <ferronica> eobanb: even that bittorrent is not running
[12:09] <hexagene> pavlix: give blackbox of fluxbox a try, very lightweight
[12:09] <delta> Hi.
[12:09] <soundray> JinRoh: what kind of soundcard/chip do you have?
[12:10] <pavlix> blackbox, fluxbox... ok
[12:10] <jorgepeixotomora> For pavlix: My current desktop has fluxbox wm and sylpheed for mail. Fluxbox is great when you get used to it ; also, it is initially ugly, but styles make it beautyful.
[12:10] <kitty_> Could someone give me support with ACPI? Have a error in dsdt.dsl, which i couldn't fix
[12:10] <eobanb> ferronica, enable universe and then sudo apt-get install bittorrent-gui
[12:10] <eobanb> !tell ferronica about universe
[12:10] <zcat[1] > ferronica: you typed that in a terminal? (menu -> accessories -> terminal)
[12:10] <JinRoh> soundray,  I have an USB Sound Card (Icemat Siberia Headset)
[12:10] <pavlix> and.. blackbox is nicer?
[12:10] <ferronica> yes
[12:10] <soundray> JinRoh: does it show when you type 'lsusb'?
[12:10] <eobanb> pavlix, fluxbox is very lightweight
[12:10] <delta> I pluged a firewire external disk yesterday, made an ext2 partition, and wrote a few files onto it. After a reboot I can't see it anymore. Any help?
[12:10] <Rief> i like fluxbox
[12:10] <hexagene> jorgepeixotomora: I have to agree, I use it on my development machines
[12:10] <hexagene> it rocks once you know what you are doing
[12:11] <JinRoh> soundray, Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0d8c:000c C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter
[12:11] <jorgepeixotomora> I don't know blackbox, but from what I know, fluxbox is an improvement of it. For more information I refer you to wikipedia.
[12:11] <JinRoh> C-USB Headset is called also
[12:11] <zcat[1] > ferronica: sorry, what eobanb says...
[12:11] <ferronica> eobanb: from where to enable universe
[12:11] <JinRoh> but I have sound in all the system, I can listen to music
[12:11] <pavlix> I'll try it
[12:11] <hexagene> all the blackbox styles work with fluxbox, so there is quite a bit of choice
[12:11] <eobanb> ferronica, you need to read your messages
[12:11] <eobanb> !tell ferronica about universe
[12:11] <zcat[1] > system > administration > synaptic
[12:11] <to0om> one question: would xgl work with dapper with the non-proprietary ati drivers?
[12:11] <hexagene> blackbox is the original. fluxbox has some nice additions
[12:11] <to0om> or should i leave that?
[12:11] <ferronica> ok after that
[12:12] <soundray> JinRoh: is the snd_usb_audio module loaded? Check with 'lsmod | grep snd_usb_audio'
[12:12] <eobanb> ferronica, did you read the link ubotu sent you?
[12:12] <JinRoh> soundray, yes
[12:12] <soundray> JinRoh: oh, sound works everywhere except in that game?
[12:12] <JinRoh> Yes
[12:12] <ferronica> eobanb: yes, i tried to open bitcomet
[12:13] <ferronica> eobanb: not running
[12:13] <jorgepeixotomora> For pavlix: there is a but: from what I know, fluxbox does not have a file manager. So either get used to xterm (like me) or install one yourself.
[12:13] <eobanb> ferronica, bitcomet is NOT for linux
[12:13] <eobanb> ferronica, you need to use a different bittorrent client
[12:13] <soundray> JinRoh: something is wrong with the game then. Does it run natively under Linux?
[12:13] <Rief> azureus
[12:13] <Rief> is better
[12:13] <goonie> I updated my system yesterday with the recommended updates in Synaptic (xorg, gdm, and 2.6.10.32) and now my wireless doesn't work. Dmesg has a bunch of errors related to ipw2200 but I'm a newb and don't know what to do to fix this :( Dmesg can be seen at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13563
[12:14] <sp3tt> Uhm, anyone?
[12:14] <JinRoh> soundray,  yes it's Enemy Territory, and I had sound yesterday
[12:14] <JinRoh> And I didn't do anything
[12:14] <eobanb> sp3tt, was your question about the liveCD?
[12:15] <ferronica> if u see under application - internet- bitTorrent
[12:15] <sp3tt> eobanb: why it won't find my keyboard.
[12:15] <sp3tt> wireless ps/2
[12:15] <hexagene> hmm, is it IR based or bluetooth?
[12:15] <soundray> JinRoh: did you plug the soundcard in after you started the game?
[12:15] <sp3tt> I think IR.
[12:15] <hexagene> like is there just an adapter in the back of the box?
[12:16] <thug> after installing kubuntu-desktop will my machine boot into kde deskop after ? or do i need to set kdm as default desktop manager ?
[12:16] <JinRoh> soundray,  no, I have it plugged all the time
[12:16] <hexagene> hmm, should work fine ... those usually don't have drivers
[12:16] <sp3tt> There are two ports, one for keyboard and one for mouse.
[12:16] <eobanb> sp3tt, if it's plugged into the regular PS/2 port i dont know why it wouldnt work, although a friend of mine had a similar problem but it worked once he installed ubuntu on his drive; until then he had to use an ordinary keyboard
[12:16] <soundray> JinRoh: have you rebooted since this problem appeared?
[12:16] <JinRoh> 3 times
[12:16] <Mips> hi
[12:16] <sp3tt> Maybe the problem is not with ubuntu, but with the keyboard...
[12:16] <hexagene> but they just plug right in, and have a battery or something right?
[12:16] <hexagene> I did not have trouble with that in my install at work ...
[12:16] <eobanb> thug, KDE can be used with gdm; what should happen is gdm will give you an option as to which desktop environment to use
[12:17] <hexagene> hmm, possbile
[12:17] <hexagene> my distro at work is gentoo
[12:17] <sp3tt> It has a receiver.
[12:17] <zcat[1] > friend of mine had a logitech wireless keyboard.. it was ps2 but not standard, needed some weird drivers to actually work :(
[12:17] <hexagene> but that is the ultimate in configure it or it won't work
[12:17] <hexagene> and I did not touch it
[12:17] <Mips> does the standart ubuntu kernel (dapper) support vlans ??? i installed vvlan and tried adding new vlans, which works perfektly, but they don't show up under ifconfig ...
[12:17] <eobanb> sp3tt, i would just try using a regular wired keyboard while using the liveCD/installing, and then trying your wireless after installation is complete.
[12:17] <sp3tt> I tried to plug in a usb keyboard, that didn't work either.
[12:17] <thug> eobanb ohh i see ... in the terminal i just selected kdm as defaults desktop manager ...  i didnt know that it will ask me :)
[12:17] <Mips> I don't get an error so I have no clou where to start looking
[12:17] <zcat[1] > sp3tt: for that, go into bios and enable legacy USB support
[12:18] <thug> eobanb how will i get rid of gnome desktop now ?
[12:18] <wendigo> JinRoh: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp - do you get sound?
[12:18] <soundray> wendigo: he has got sound. Everywhere except in the game.
[12:18] <JinRoh> wendigo,  yes
[12:18] <goonie> can anyone have a look at my problem after yesterdays Synaptic updates?
[12:18] <JinRoh> soundray,  thanks, I have already fixec it, It seems to be a problem of the usb soundcard, because if a Plug the Headset directly It works
[12:18] <wendigo> soundray: yes, i'm confirming the device
[12:18] <eobanb> thug, i'm afraid that's kind of hard (as in, it requires the removal of many packages)
[12:18] <JinRoh> bye
[12:19] <sp3tt> Let's try the windows installation...
[12:19] <zcat[1] > thug: backup /home, reinstall ubuntu without gnome :)
[12:19] <eobanb> sp3tt, if you plan on dual-booting i'd highly recommend installing windows first, and then ubuntu
[12:19] <imbrandon> thug there is a thread on the forum about howto uninstall ubuntu-desktop ( gnome )
[12:19] <Mips> thug can't you just do apt-get remove gnome-desktop-environment
[12:20] <eobanb> Mips, no.
[12:20] <sp3tt> Hmm, no, windows won't find it either.
[12:20] <zcat[1] > if only it was that easy :)
[12:20] <sp3tt> That implies a problem with the keyboard.
[12:20] <eobanb> sp3tt, quite possibly
[12:20] <Mips> has somedody ever work with vlans ?
[12:20] <sp3tt> Mouse doesn't work either.
[12:20] <thug> zcat[1]  yeah very funny :)
[12:20] <elise_> I want kde instead of gnome, what do I write? apt-get install ???
[12:20] <thug> Mips thanks
[12:21] <zcat[1] > funny, but probably easier than trying to remove gnome..
[12:21] <soundray> elise_: kubuntu-desktop
[12:21] <elise_> soundray: thanks
[12:21] <zcat[1] > elise_: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[12:21] <Mips> thug no problem
[12:21] <zcat[1] > oops too slow
[12:21] <eXistenZ> who needs kubuntu
[12:21] <soundray> sp3tt: does your keyboard work before ubuntu is booted (BIOS setup/pre-boot help screens)?
[12:22] <eobanb> eXistenZ, take flamewars to #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:22] <elise_> soundray: would you suggest me removing gnome?
[12:22] <m0r0n> Hi, I dont want trash-folders! How can I prevent Linux from creating such folders when deleting files.
[12:22] <hastesaver> Is doing "apt-get kubuntu desktop" the same has originally installing from the Kubuntu CD itself? I mean, does it have everything
[12:22] <eXistenZ> eobanb, Thanks for the advice.
[12:22] <soundray> elise_: only if you have hard disk space constraints.
[12:22] <eobanb> hastesaver, basically, yes.
[12:22] <zcat[1] > m0r0n: are you sure (y/N)?
[12:22] <m0r0n> of course
[12:22] <hastesaver> m0r0n, linux doesn't. Must be a gnome "feature".
[12:22] <elise_> I have, apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop?
[12:22] <soundray> m0r0n: use rm on the command line
[12:23] <m0r0n> Yes, I dont want this gnome feature
[12:23] <m0r0n> soundray, ok
[12:23] <sp3tt> soundray: no, not as far as i can tell.
[12:23] <wendigo> sp3tt: does the keyboard work in a raw console? ctrl + alt + backspace. type startx to reenter X
[12:23] <soundray> elise_: no, apt-get remove gnome-core (or a similarly essential package)
[12:23] <zcat[1] > elise_: ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage.. things depend on it, but when you remove it those things don't get removed again..
[12:23] <eobanb> wendigo, think about how ridiculous what you just said is
[12:24] <soundray> sp3tt: I guess that it is a hardware problem then. Any activity lights on the receiver? Batteries okay?
[12:24] <zcat[1] > hmm, yeah.. gnome-core would probably do it.
[12:24] <elise_> ok, thanks both of you
[12:24] <sp3tt> wendigo: if I can't boot ubuntu, how the fuck am I supposed to know?
[12:24] <eobanb> [05:23]  	wendigo	sp3tt: does the keyboard work in a raw console? ctrl + alt + backspace. type startx to reenter X
[12:24] <soundray> !language
[12:24] <ubotu> Please watch your language. We try to be nice and help but some of us don't like to see such things on our screen.
[12:24] <sp3tt> well, the light is yellow.
[12:24] <eobanb> wendigo, that's going on bash.org :)
[12:24] <wendigo> eobanb: ever heard of plugging in a normal keyboard then swapping to usb?
[12:24] <zcat[1] > just check carefully what gnome-core wants to take with it.. if there's anything like grub or kerenels in there, say no :)
[12:24] <ompaul> sp3tt, less language thanks - we try to maintain a G rated channel
[12:25] <eobanb> wendigo, for one, it's not a USB, it's a PS/2, which isn't hot-swappable
[12:25] <eobanb> wendigo, for two, ctrl-alt-backspace automatically starts gdm again; he's better off hitting ctrl-alt-F1 to just go to a vterm
[12:25] <soundray> wendigo: please read back before you butt in.
[12:25] <eobanb> wendigo, for three, he already said it doesnt work in a windows install environment either
[12:26] <ferronica> eobanb: its very complicated to use ubuntu reallyyy
[12:26] <hastesaver> "We try to be nice and help but don't like to see *such things*" ??? Does it mean we don't like to see nice and helpful things?
[12:26] <wendigo> sp3tt: what type of keyboard/mouse do you have?
[12:26] <sp3tt> Memorex MX5500.
[12:26] <ferronica> alll linux
[12:26] <zcat[1] > if it doesn't work, ctrl-alt-anything probably won't work either?
[12:26] <eobanb> ferronica, no, it's not, if you follow instructions.
[12:26] <soundray> ferronica: not really. It just takes some getting used to if you usually work with MS Windows.
[12:26] <wendigo> sp3tt: what connection type?
[12:26] <eobanb> zcat[1] , that was my original point
[12:26] <zcat[1] > that's right up there with "keyboard not found, press F1"
[12:26] <sp3tt> PS/2.
[12:26] <eobanb> zcat[1] , yeah :)
[12:27] <ferronica> right now  i just wanna to install  a program to download torrents
[12:27] <wendigo> sp3tt: has it been tested on another system and worked?
[12:27] <eobanb> ferronica, i have already explained exactly how to do that.  now you really have to listen this time:
[12:27] <ferronica> my eyes r paining
[12:27] <inc|freaky> hi all, can someone help me? im trying to set up samba on my home server .. (no gui) ... but everytime i try to log in, it just tells me the login or pass is incorrect, even i added an account using smbpasswd ... the user also has a shell ..., can someone help me?
[12:27] <eobanb> ferronica, first enable universe.
[12:27] <eobanb> !tell ferronica about universe
[12:27] <zcat[1] > ferronica: FIRST stop thinking like a windows user.
[12:27] <eobanb> ferronica, secondly, type sudo apt-get install bittorrent-gui
[12:27] <eobanb> ferronica, and then you're done.
[12:27] <zcat[1] > SECOND enable universe..
[12:27] <eobanb> ferronica, just do those two things, and you'll have bittorrent installed.  okay?
[12:28] <sp3tt> wendigo: it has worked with the windows install earlier.
[12:28] <inc|freaky> whats the best torrent client for kde?
[12:28] <iNiku> ktorrent
[12:28] <ferronica> how to enable universe
[12:28] <inc|freaky> iNiku: k, thx ^^ ive installed that ^^
[12:28] <soundray> ferronica: read your pms from ubotu
[12:28] <inc|freaky> ferronica: you have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:28] <ferronica> eobanb: from synaptics
[12:28] <eobanb> ferronica, PLEASE read the messages ubotu is sending you
[12:28] <wendigo> sp3tt: have you got a spare keyboard that works?
[12:28] <sp3tt> The receiver flashes orange/yellow/green, but stops at yellow.
[12:28] <m0r0n> Is it a good idea to use a cvs repository on a usbdisk to be able to switch between linux and windowsxp when developing programs.
[12:28] <zcat[1] > ferronica: read what ubotu sent several tiems already?
[12:29] <DesTroYed> baaak heey all wut is the command for insall flashplugin is it sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[12:29] <wendigo> sp3tt: the receiver?
[12:29] <DesTroYed> ?
[12:29] <eobanb> ferronica, i'm sorry, but we can't help you anymore if you won't read the instructions we're giving you.
[12:29] <zcat[1] > and ignore my typos
[12:29] <sp3tt> wendigo: yes, wireless.
[12:29] <ThreeFinity> two questions.
[12:29] <ThreeFinity> actually one
[12:29] <sp3tt> Now it's orange/yellow :S
[12:29] <ThreeFinity> How do I run a linux installation cd from inside linux?
[12:29] <ThreeFinity> I can't boot it
[12:29] <sp3tt> Mouse works.
[12:29] <sp3tt> Keyboard doesn't.
[12:29] <zcat[1] > DesTroYed: yes.
[12:30] <soundray> ThreeFinity: you can't. Do you have a floppy disk drive?
[12:30] <DesTroYed> zcat[1]  Okay thnxx
[12:30] <zcat[1] > DesTroYed: and if it fails, you need the universe/multiverse repos too..
[12:30] <eobanb> ThreeFinity, you can't really do that.
[12:30] <wendigo> wendigo: ok, have you got a spare keyboard that works though so you can press a key sequence on it?
[12:30] <eobanb> ThreeFinity, unless you run the dapper liveCD
[12:30] <sp3tt> :o
[12:30] <soundray> !tell ThreeFinity about smartboot
[12:30] <DesTroYed> zcat[1]  Okay if it fails i will tell u _@
[12:30] <wendigo> sp3tt: ok, have you got a spare keyboard that works though so you can press a key sequence on it?
[12:30] <sp3tt> All that was needed was to make the keyboard activate.
[12:30] <sp3tt> now to enjoy linux!
[12:30] <ferronica> first i hav to go to synaptics manager
[12:30] <wendigo> :)
[12:30] <ThreeFinity> no floppy
[12:31] <sp3tt> I'll boot 5.04 first, then install 5.10 if it works.
[12:31] <ThreeFinity> so there's no way to boot a linux installation cd from linux?
[12:31] <soundray> ThreeFinity: what's the problem with booting from CD?
[12:31] <zcat[1] > why doesn't people keep their old plainitjustfsckingworks keyboard in a closet when they get some fancy new one.. in case the new one has problems or something?
[12:31] <wendigo> sp3tt: k
[12:31] <zcat[1] > sorry.. offtopic :(
[12:31] <ompaul> sp3tt, there is so much more in 5.10 that your comparing apples with oranges
[12:31] <ThreeFinity> can't burn the iamge to the cd to boot with
[12:31] <ThreeFinity> image*
[12:31] <soundray> zcat[1] : *and* flogging a dead horse ;)
[12:32] <wendigo> zcat[1] : i keep my old one just incase my usb packs up :)
[12:32] <zcat[1] > sore point.. i still have my frappy old keyboard. I want a fancy new one ..
[12:33] <zcat[1] > frappy.. see how bad it is!!
[12:33] <DesTroYed> zcat[1]  By The Way it worked ! Done Thanks
[12:34] <zcat[1] > cool!!
[12:34] <eobanb> ThreeFinity, you're hardly giving us much to work with here
[12:34] <ompaul> ThreeFinity, okay one thing -have you got the space now?
[12:34] <eobanb> ThreeFinity, you can obviously burn a linux installation CD from linux, just not from a stripped-down half-broken install disc
[12:35] <zcat[1] > "I have a bare drive and no install CDs. Hit me with a miracle" -- yeah, ok.. :)
[12:35] <eobanb> ThreeFinity, take my advice, don't waste your time trying to burn a disc from a CD that was never intended to be used as a live environment, and just find another computer and download and burn it from there
[12:35] <m0r0n> I have a notebook with Ubuntu and another PC with WinXP installed. What hardware do I need get access to the internet from both computers at the same time?
[12:35] <farous> can anyone tell me what the hell is that. A file that i do not have permission to access yet i can delete it?
[12:36] <eobanb> m0r0n, depending on your network setup, probably just a router and a couple of patch cables.
[12:36] <wendigo> moron: a router
[12:36] <tuxmaniac> farous: What?
[12:36] <m0r0n> What router do you prefer?
[12:36] <ompaul> m0r0n, so what kind of network connection to the internet have you got?
[12:36] <sp3tt> ompaul: yes, but when I tried to install ubuntu last time, gui messed up.
[12:36] <zcat[1] > farous: yuo have write access to the directory it's in, I guess
[12:36] <ThreeFinity> yeah taht's what I'm goin for now
[12:36] <wendigo> moron: linksys are pretty good
[12:36] <farous> supposadly i do not have permission to the whole dir yet i can open it using nautilus and delete the files there
[12:36] <eobanb> m0r0n, i personally enjoy the linksys WRT54G
[12:36] <ThreeFinity> just didn't want to intterupt the wife's gaming session lol
[12:36] <m0r0n> DSL , pppoe
[12:36] <soundray> m0r0n: I would recommend a Linksys WRT54GL. Neat little device that comes with Linux
[12:36] <ompaul> sp3tt, add this to the boot --- VGA=771
[12:36] <soundray> eobanb: ;)
[12:36] <eobanb> in fact, m0r0n, you can run linux on a wrt54g itself
[12:36] <DesTroYed> zcat[1]  wut is the name for compliers to download them usin apt-get install ?
[12:36] <farous> zcat nope i do not have write or even read acess to
[12:36] <zcat[1] > !b-e
[12:36] <ubotu> or if you get errors saying gcc cannot create executables, or that you can't find header files like stdio.h, or get "make: command not found, then you need to do a    sudo apt-get install build-essential.
[12:37] <DesTroYed> Thanks !
[12:37] <soundray> eobanb: the version 5 WRTs don't have Linux anymore.
[12:37] <DesTroYed> Fastly service loll
[12:37] <hajuu> hm my sound is still being... dodgy
[12:37] <hajuu> sometimes it works
[12:37] <ompaul> soundray, iirc someone has made one for them
[12:37] <soundray> !sound
[12:37] <ubotu> Help to fix issues with sound can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems or http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundProblemsHoary
[12:37] <hajuu> sometimes it doesnt
[12:37] <eobanb> soundray, yeah, i know.  although you can still flash the vxworks version with micro DD-WRT
[12:37] <g0dchild> eobanb, some ppl use a really old pc for their router- many claim its a better option...can someone tell me why?
[12:38] <eobanb> g0dchild, because you can install your own system on them and customise settings exactly how you like instead of being limited to a simple web interface
[12:38] <sander_> Hi all!
[12:38] <eobanb> welcome, sander_
[12:38] <beaner> and you dont have to spend more money since the old pc is just lying around ;)
[12:38] <sander_> Anyone who could help me getting my soundcard to work>
[12:38] <soundray> ompaul: there are plenty of distributions around, I know. But I would still recommend a WRT54G*L*, because it has more memory and because you're making a pro-Linux statement.
[12:38] <zcat[1] > old PC - 80 watts. Cisco SOHO 8 watts. The power adds up...
[12:38] <eobanb> sander_, try this link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[12:38] <g0dchild> eobanb, so, using an old pc for a router, you can connect that to a switch to distribute to a Smalloffice/home environment eh?
[12:39] <hajuu> how can I like.. "uninstall" a piece of hardware from my system? like uhm... I have some onboard sound.. I want to "uninstall" it.. so that when I restart its redetected and I can try over
[12:39] <farous> the whole folder is owned by another user who is in my group. but the file has  640 permission
[12:39] <eobanb> g0dchild, sure.
[12:39] <ompaul> soundray, same here (I actually have two to flash withing a metres reach)
[12:39] <farous> something is wrong def here
[12:39] <g0dchild> I've really wanted to do this with ubuntu...just dont know where to begin
[12:39] <sander_> My soundcard is reckognized, but Ubuntu keeps insisting on using a USB device as the default audio device. Where can I change that?
[12:39] <sp3tt> lol, gui messed up again. but I can ssh!
[12:39] <soundray> hajuu: blacklist it in /etc/hotplug/blacklist
[12:39] <hajuu> what does that do?
[12:39] <sander_> eobanb, I read that but no luck :(
[12:39] <eobanb> g0dchild, for just running a dedicated router, ubuntu is probably overkill
[12:39] <soundray> hajuu: prevents the module from loading
[12:39] <zcat[1] > sander_: make it load the proper soundcard moule first in /etc/modules
[12:40] <hajuu> will that make it reinstall itself though/
[12:40] <hajuu> ?
[12:40] <ompaul> eobanb, there is the ubuntu-server cd
[12:40] <zcat[1] > that worked for me..
[12:40] <eobanb> g0dchild, check out http://www.zelow.no/floppyfw/
[12:40] <g0dchild> ok...
[12:40] <eobanb> g0dchild, it's fairly easy to set up and you just need a floppy drive, no hard drive
[12:40] <sander_> zcat[1] . did you have no sound card driver installed at all?
[12:40] <sander_> Cause mine is installed
[12:40] <eobanb> g0dchild, with no hard drive, the PC will run much quieter
[12:41] <zcat[1] > Friend of mine has several soundcards and a USB FM transmitter. We forced them to load in the right order by listing the modules in the order we wanted in /etc/modules.
[12:41] <farous> could it be a hacker who managed to change permissions on my users files?
[12:41] <eobanb> farous, i highly doubt it.
[12:41] <sander_> zcat that sounds like what I need, how do I do that? :$
[12:41] <goonie> I updated my system yesterday with the recommended updates in Synaptic (xorg, gdm, and 2.6.10.32) and now my wireless doesn't work. Dmesg has a bunch of errors related to ipw2200 but I'm a newb and don't know what to do to fix this :( Dmesg can be seen at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13563
[12:42] <zcat[1] > they were loading but the FM tansmitter was loading first as /dev/dsp0
[12:42] <sander_> zcat I am a newbie
[12:42] <mowgly> hello >_<
[12:42] <sander_> zcat a newbie with glx :p
[12:42] <sander_> xlg
[12:42] <eobanb> welcome, mowgly
[12:42] <mowgly> : )
[12:42] <g0dchild> oh? but i dont understand this network bit about routers on pcs- they're supposed to regulate network traffic and prevent congestion, am i right? So. to normally connect a SOHO to the internet via a router would mean that you'll need a second NIC card connected to the router machine - which inturn is connected to the modem...
[12:42] <wendigo> sander_: create a .asoundrc and add a the line defaults.pcm.card <number>. replace the number by the number of the sound card in your system
[12:42] <farous> eobanb: i am the only one who have admin rights here an now all users can open each other folders. isn't that strange
[12:43] <sander_> wendigo create it in where?
[12:43] <soundray> g0dchild: that's correct
[12:43] <eobanb> g0dchild, yes, you need two network cards.  one to go to the rest of the internet, and (at least) one to connect your computer.
[12:43] <farous> i have set it so they can not do that and was working fine. do no tknow how it was changed or when
[12:43] <soundray> g0dchild: another reason to buy a dedicated router
[12:43] <zcat[1] > "lsmod | grep snd" and see what sound modules are loaded, figure out what each card is and list them all in /etc/modules in the order you want them to come up..
[12:43] <wendigo> sander_: ~/.asounrc
[12:43] <wendigo> sander_: ~/.asoundrc
[12:43] <sander_> I see modules in /etc but it is not a folder
[12:43] <zcat[1] > there may be a better way, but that worked for us.
[12:43] <zcat[1] > it's a textfile..
[12:43] <sander_> zcat I have the same problem
[12:43] <sander_> zcat but I don't see where I can change the order
[12:44] <sander_> ah gedit it :)
[12:44] <zcat[1] > nano /etc/modules (or gedit)
[12:44] <skippy> guys, i forgot to su to root before i built a kernel, is there any way of recovering to the point where it trys to make the .deb file?
[12:44] <sp3tt> ompaul?
[12:44] <sander_> In modules there is no soundcard :S
[12:45] <g0dchild> soundray, what about the userinterface on these dedicated routers? arent they somewhat- how'd I say, unfulfilling? especially to power-users/network admins?
[12:45] <sp3tt> ompaul: vga=771 is for laptops... it's a desktop machine.
[12:45] <sander_> How do I know what to add?
[12:45] <eobanb> g0dchild, that's what devices like the WRG54GL are for
[12:45] <romenov> hi, can I ask a quick question? (a stupid one probably) I installed LAMP & everything, so now I have php files on my memory stick, it gets detected and everything, but I can't seem to be able to paste in the var/www dir :/ any help?
[12:45] <zcat[1] > it'll be loading them somewhere else. lsmod | grep snd will give you a list of all the modules it's got now..
[12:45] <soundray> skippy: it should be possible to go back to the step *after* make-kpkg clean (second run will be faster)
[12:45] <eobanb> romenov, what doy uo mean by 'paste in the var/www dir'
[12:45] <eobanb> do you*
[12:46] <romenov> well the files are on my stick, now I need to copy them to my www directory of my apache
[12:46] <zcat[1] > ignore the ones that are generic sound stuff, look for ones with chipset names in them :)
[12:46] <sander_> Yep plenty of soundcards there :)
[12:46] <soundray> g0dchild: you can always install OpenWRT and have a power user interface (busybox)
[12:46] <sp3tt> What am I supposed to choose at the manu that says "mode: COLsxROWS"?
[12:46] <zcat[1] > (afk)
[12:46] <skippy> ok, should i just repeat the make-kpkg -initrd  step then soundray?
[12:46] <ompaul> sp3tt, have a look at this, and that was like 10 minutes ago - either your on irc or not, people come and go the whole time you won't find yourself getting cohesive help that way, try wiki.ubuntu.com/PaulsKludge
[12:47] <protocol1> is there a way to fix the jittery playback from my builtin mplayer on my ff1.5?
[12:47] <sander_> snd_emu10k1 sounds like the one I need
[12:47] <soundray> skippy: that's what I would try
[12:47] <mowgly> I asked me if you know how to make a link between a wifi connector and a modem internet connection, I have a wifi connector plugged on the same computer than the internet connection O_o
[12:47] <skippy> ok mate thx :)
[12:47] <goonie> can I get anyone to take a look at my dmesg errors ??
[12:47] <ompaul> sp3tt, choose a low number and if it says outside ranget go lower next time 80x25 is good
[12:47] <farous> ok for sure permissions are messed up here. Anyideas how to fix that?
[12:48] <ompaul> sp3tt, and if I am not accurate in the numbers given or choose something near that
[12:48] <hastesaver> goonie, paste them on pastebin
[12:48] <soundray> goonie: I have. This happened after you ran an upgrade, correct?
[12:48] <romenov> any help plz? :(
[12:48] <goonie> hastesaver,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13563
[12:48] <soundray> !helpme
[12:48] <ubotu> If you do not actually ask a question, we cannot actually help you. :)
[12:48] <goonie> soundray, yeah
[12:48] <ompaul> !hemlme
[12:48] <ubotu> Some people juggle geese. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, ompaul
[12:49] <skippy> soundray: thx you were right, got my package now ;)
[12:49] <ompaul> !helpme
[12:49] <soundray> ompaul: Someone already said that ages ago ;)
[12:49] <ompaul> soundray, that would be 11 seconds :-)
[12:49] <soundray> goonie: is the wireless one your only net connection?
[12:50] <goonie> soundray, no but I rarely use the eth0 wired one on my laptop
[12:50] <soundray> goonie: have you tried running apt-get dist-upgrade again?
[12:51] <soundray> goonie: it looks to me as if you had upgraded your kernel, but not linux-restricted-modules (or vice versa)
[12:52] <romenov> hi, can I ask a quick question? (a stupid one probably) I installed LAMP & everything, so now I have php files on my memory stick, it gets detected and everything, but I can't seem to be able to paste in the var/www dir :/ any help?
[12:52] <sp3tt> Hooray, x won't start...
[12:52] <sp3tt> again
[12:52] <goonie> soundray, so if I plug it into a wired connection and try to install the restricted modules ,that might help?
[12:52] <soundray> romenov: try with sudo
[12:52] <sp3tt> No sync signal, screen says
[12:52] <soundray> goonie: yes (fingers crossed)
[12:53] <romenov> err sudo copy .. and then what's the syntax? :$
[12:53] <ompaul> sp3tt, okay sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choose VESA (or vga) as the card type
[12:53] <bkw> How do enable the internal speaker with alsamixer, it shows off even if I increase the level?
[12:53] <salmiak_> i can't start firestarter after my kernel compilation... i get this error message:
[12:53] <salmiak_> iptables v1.3.1: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
[12:53] <salmiak_> Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
[12:53] <sp3tt> Ok, will try
[12:53] <wendigo> sp3tt: try - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:53] <soundray> romenov: 'sudo cp file /var/www/' or 'sudo cp -r directory/ /var/www/'
[12:54] <romenov> so sudo cp -r direct/Kingston /var/www/ ?
[12:54] <jago25_98> I'm having to run "dpkg-reconfigure linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-10-686 ; modprobe fglrx" after each reboot. That can't be right. hmm, looking up `volatile kernel modules`
[12:54] <goonie> soundray, oh and I should probably have mentioned that I built the ieee802 module, ipw2200 firmware and ipw2200 1.10 after installing breezy because the default in Breezy didn't work. But that has worked well for months now... don't see why that would break now
[12:55] <Jimmey__> Should I enter the partition I want to boot from in Grub's device.map? If I do, how to I do it successfully?
[12:55] <wendigo> jago25_98: if you want fglrx module to load automatically add it to your kernel autoload list in /etc/modules/
[12:56] <jago25_98> wendigo: It won't autoload because it disappears from /lib/modules/uname/volatile
[12:57] <goonie> soundray, gonna give it a try... I'll let u know
[12:57] <wendigo> jago25_98: copy it to your kernel directory in /lib/modules/<kernel> ?
[12:58] <jago25_98> wendigo: ok, I'll give that a go. What is modules/volatile all about though? I can't find info on it
[01:01] <sp3tt> Is H Freq equivalent to horizontal sync range?
[01:01] <chamo> hello
[01:02] <raphaa> hello
[01:02] <wendigo> sp3tt: yes
[01:02] <hajuu> You guys said something about blacklisting my device in /etc/hotplug/blacklist ...
[01:02] <hajuu> but um
[01:02] <barosl> can anyone recommend me a data recovery tool?
[01:02] <hajuu> oh wait
[01:02] <hajuu> its cool
[01:03] <sp3tt> wendigo: ok.
[01:03] <Jimmey__> I keep getting an error message at boot: "Hard disk boot sector invalid.."
[01:03] <Jimmey__> And I don't know how to fix it ( grub-install hd0 doesn't work..)
[01:04] <sp3tt> Nope, same problem.
[01:04] <wendigo> Jimmey__: what error do you get from grub?
[01:05] <romenov> How do I change map permissions with sudo?
[01:05] <elise_> ./bye
[01:05] <elise_> exit
[01:05] <elise_> log out
[01:05] <ailean> I want to get a remote control, but it needs to be compatible with WinXP and Ubuntu - any ideas anyone?
[01:05] <mowgly> >_<
[01:06] <wendigo> romenov: map permission? if you mean user permissions, use visudo
[01:06] <Jimmey__> wendigo, I don't. I think I installed grub, during an install, on /dev/hda1 - Which doesn't exist anymore
[01:07] <romenov> well I got the map SB in my var/www but now Ineed to be able to access it, and when I check properties, only owner has all, and groep & others need to have it also
[01:07] <romenov> group *
[01:08] <sp3tt> o/!
[01:08] <wendigo> romenov: chown to change owners
[01:08] <sp3tt> It works.
[01:08] <romenov> I'm new to ubuntu :$
[01:08] <sp3tt> except that... it doesn'n
[01:08] <paniq> does anyone have the problem in dapper/6.06 with system dialogs hanging?
[01:08] <romenov> well I don't need to change owners rly, I just need to be able to access the map through my browser
[01:08] <romenov> (with webserver)
[01:09] <gnomefreak> paniq: no but you might want to ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:09] <sp3tt> I've detected a panel already running, and will now exit"
[01:09] <wendigo> romenov: sudo chown  <user>:<group> <file/folder> - use -R switch for recursive
[01:09] <romenov> ok I don't get that, how do I make myself owner of the map so I can just tag the boxes? :p
[01:10] <imbrandon> morning gnomefreak
[01:10] <gnomefreak> morning imbrandon
[01:10] <jinroh> I have this problem whereby I can print from every application except firefox ver. 1.0.8 Has anyone else encountered this problem? Does anyone know a fix for the problem?
[01:10] <gnomefreak> sp3tt: killall gnome-panel
[01:10] <gnomefreak> sp3tt: that should kill all running panels
[01:11] <sp3tt> gnomefreak: thanks.
[01:11] <ohzie> Hey! :D
[01:11] <sp3tt> I can surf teh web from ubuntu!
[01:11] <ohzie> How would I go about making a new xorg.conf? Mine is broken.
[01:11] <gnomefreak> sp3tt: yw
[01:12] <sp3tt> Now to burn an install cd and make it permanent.
[01:12] <imbrandon> ohzie: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:12] <gnomefreak> ohzie: define broken
[01:12] <ohzie> I broke it while running nvidia-xconfig :[
[01:12] <ohzie> And now the xserver is disabled
[01:12] <wendigo> romenov: If you want to change ownership of a file use - sudo chown <user>:<group> <file>
[01:12] <ohzie> And I don't know how to re=enable it.
[01:13] <gnomefreak> ohzie: run the command that imbrandon gave you above
[01:13] <hastesaver> BTW, does gnome still have that "feature" that lets us do "Delete this panel" and then we don't know how to get it back? :(
[01:13] <ohzie> Runing it now. :D
[01:14] <gnomefreak> hastesaver: yes you can still delete a panel
[01:15] <hastesaver> gnomefreak, isn't that a UI bug? It doesn't really tell us what exactly we are deleting... I got pretty screwed by that when I was new
[01:15] <ohzie> gnomefreak: When it asks me about my mouse, what should I put??? I use a touchpad on a laptop. :[
[01:15] <gnomefreak> ohzie: dont know about touchpads
[01:15] <zcat[1] > imps2
[01:16] <zcat[1] > the default one usually works
[01:16] <DesTroYed> zcat[1]  the name for multimediacodecs is ?
[01:16] <zcat[1] > w32codecs
[01:16] <DesTroYed> Okay Thanks !
[01:16] <gnomefreak> hastesaver: right clicking it give you choice to delete this panel now if someone cant figure out what delete this panel is i would have to say its no longer a bug
[01:17] <ohzie> it says it's still disabled
[01:17] <DesTroYed> zcat then i should write this command sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[01:17] <zcat[1] > it's a pebcak issue...
[01:17] <DesTroYed> ?
[01:17] <ohzie> "Re enable the x server when you have fixed the configuration."
[01:17] <wendigo> destroyed: wget -c ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb
[01:18] <zcat[1] > DesTroYed: yeah.. there's also gstreamer stuff that does codecs.
[01:18] <DesTroYed> wendigo Thanks but cant get it :D
[01:18] <hastesaver> gnomefreak, I was trying to get rid of the notification area or something... I thought the app shortcut icons, the notification area, and the clock were all separate panels. What's the correct name for them?

[01:19] <delta> I pluged a firewire external disk yesterday, made an ext2 partition, and wrote a few files onto it. After a reboot I can't see it anymore. Any help?
[01:20] <wendigo> zcat[1] : thats from the ubuntu restricted formats howto. check ubotu
[01:20] <romenov> ok tx wendigo, that worked, is there by any chance that I'm able to apply this on ALL the files in the directory?
[01:20] <zcat[1] > bah, someone reprogram ubotu to use the repos and apt-get it then..
[01:20] <wendigo> romenov: use the -R switch for recursive
[01:21] <rem> ..and it says Preconfiguring packages ... but its not going further ...
[01:21] <zcat[1] > anyhow.. i should sleep. do as thou wilt.
[01:21] <salmiak> i recompiled a kernel from kernel.org and now iptables won't work. I've enabled everything in the network packet filtering, but iptables still won't work... gah
[01:22] <romenov> well I did sudo chown romenov /var/www/sb/ -R but the files inside the dir are still all with a red cross permission denied
[01:23] <romenov> and that's a lot of files to do manualy :$
[01:23] <gnomefreak> hastesaver: i have something called notifacation area in my add to panel i cant remember if breezy has that
[01:23] <wendigo> romenov: use - sudo chown -R romenov /var/www/sb/

[01:24] <ohzie> What is the name of the nvidia driver?
[01:25] <kuja> ohzie: nvidia-glx
[01:25] <romenov> it says "Too few arguments"
[01:25] <gnomefreak> ohzie: for nvidia on breezy you need nvidia-glx and nvidia-settings
[01:26] <gnomefreak> unless ofcourse its a legacy driver you need
[01:26] <romenov> nvm wendigo
[01:26] <romenov> sorry for being so stupid *blush*
[01:27] <romenov> tx for the help :D

[01:28] <romenov> I forgot my username :$
[01:28] <gnomefreak> ohzie: i thonk those are the nvidia-glx drivers
[01:28] <ohzie> For some reason, when I install nvidia-glx, it uninstalls nvidia-settings
[01:28] <ohzie> And vice-versa
[01:28] <gnomefreak> ohzie: are you on dapper?
[01:28] <wendigo> romenov: you might want to do this as well: sudo apt-get install  gstreamer0.8-plugins  gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse  gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg
[01:28] <ohzie> gnomefreak: yes
[01:28] <gnomefreak> you dont install nvidia-settings in dapper
[01:28] <wendigo> destroyed: you might want to do this as well: sudo apt-get install  gstreamer0.8-plugins  gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse  gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg
[01:29] <ohzie> gnomefreak: Then what do you do?

[01:31] <gnomefreak> ohzie: my typo not #ubuntu+! but #ubuntu+1
[01:31] <hastesaver> romenov, chmod -R <blah blah>
[01:31] <wendigo> romenov: chmod -R 777 <path>

[01:33] <hastesaver> zyth, is that a DOS command? ;)
[01:33] <zyth> hastesaver, yea, but I can't recall how/if it can be made recursive ;)
[01:33] <leila> hi, just a quick question : I've just installed ubuntu, and have a folder with a bunch of .url files I'd like to import into firefox... How do i do that?
[01:34] <ThreeFinity> that is a good question.
[01:34] <teletubbie> ldd /home/jinxi/xmmscurrsong/xmmscurrsong.so
[01:34] <teletubbie> what does that do?
[01:34] <ThreeFinity> which teletubbie are you ?

[01:35] <bimberi> leila: try:Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks -> File -> Import
[01:35] <romenov> FATAL error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/sb/menu.php on line 10
[01:35] <leila> bimberi, that didn't work :(
[01:35] <bimberi> leila: hmmk, that's my one clue sorry
[01:35] <romenov> line 10 is : $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'root')
[01:35] <ThreeFinity> teletubbie there is no blue one
[01:36] <ThreeFinity> there's yellow red green and purple
[01:36] <gnomefreak> leila: if you open ff than click on managing bookmarks than new screen click file and than import
[01:36] <wendigo> romenov: sounds like you are missing php mysql modules
[01:36] <teletubbie> ThreeFinity, I'm the super teletubbie
[01:36] <romenov> !
[01:36] <ubotu> Do they come in packets of five. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, romenov
[01:36] <leila> bimberi, sorry, I meant that only works for 1 .url  file at a time
[01:36] <romenov> that's possible
[01:36] <romenov> mysql is installed though
[01:37] <romenov> how do I fix the modules? =/
[01:37] <teletubbie> romenov, you need the php with mysql compiled in
[01:37] <teletubbie> php4-mysql or php5-mysql
[01:37] <teletubbie> you need one of the 2 depends which version you have
[01:37] <leila> gnomefreak, I need to import my *favorites* directory recursively... importing like that only works for 1 bookmark at a time
[01:37] <romenov> ic
[01:37] <teletubbie> restart apache after install
[01:38] <bimberi> leila: ok, try (in a terminal):  'cat *.url > bigfile.url'  - then import bigfile.url
[01:38] <romenov> where can I install it? :/
[01:38] <teletubbie> romenov, just do sudo apt-get install
[01:39] <leila> actually, I lied... it didn't work for the single url file at all :(
[01:39] <jimcooncat> Anyone experiencing HAL problems with yesterday's updates?
[01:39] <leila> bimberi, I'll try that...
[01:39] <ThreeFinity> follow the instructions located at www.php.net
[01:39] <bentrust> hi
[01:39] <bimberi> leila: it'll work if all the url files are in the one directory
[01:40] <leila> no, I mean it's not importing the file. I don't get any new bookmarks
[01:40] <romenov> errors ><
[01:40] <bentrust> could someone help me to configure pptp to conect on secureix vpn ?
[01:41] <leila> bimberi, keep in mind these are internet explorer favorites =S
[01:41] <ThreeFinity> erm
[01:41] <ThreeFinity> there's a feature in windows to auto-import those
[01:41] <ThreeFinity> lol
[01:41] <teletubbie> wth, Ubuntu does not have a ld config in /etc
[01:42] <bimberi> leila: yes, it's probably expecting a file exported from Firefox :/
[01:42] <leila> bimberi, I tried to install IE under wine to see if I can copy the .urls to the new IE favorites directory, export as htm file, and then import, but I can't find where wine IE keeps its favorites...
[01:42] <leila> =@
[01:42] <teletubbie> why the heck would you install IE?
[01:42] <teletubbie> :S
[01:43] <ThreeFinity> does wine IE even store the favorites past the session you're running?
[01:43] <bimberi> leila: try looking under ~/.wine
[01:43] <romenov> tele
[01:43] <ThreeFinity> leila
[01:43] <leila> teletubbie, to ... get ... my ... bookmarks.
[01:43] <romenov> my sudo apt-get install gives errors
[01:43] <leila> =D
[01:43] <ThreeFinity> what's the file extension on the things you're trying to import?
[01:43] <leila> bimberi, looked there.... nothing to be found....
[01:43] <teletubbie> romenov, what version of php do you have??
[01:43] <LogicalDash> I'm trying to type Japanese with uim and it's not converting what I type to kana, it's converting straight to kanji somehow. And it's not letting me use the candidate window. Any help?
[01:43] <ThreeFinity> myfavoritenumber1.???
[01:44] <romenov> .. 4
[01:44] <leila> they're .url files from IE... so favorite.url
[01:44] <teletubbie> leila, your bookmarks are in a html file
[01:44] <ThreeFinity> open firefox
[01:44] <ThreeFinity> make a favorite
[01:44] <teletubbie> romenov, sudo apt-get install php4-mysql
[01:44] <ThreeFinity> it should save it to a hidden directory in your users /home directory
[01:44] <leila> teletubbie, no, they're in a stupid m$ .url file.
[01:44] <ThreeFinity> you can then search for *.url
[01:44] <leila> *should* ...
[01:45] <leila> .didn't
[01:45] <ThreeFinity> search your comp for *.url
[01:45] <leila> hang on, I'll look again and some more...
[01:45] <remnon> hey... i can't seem to compile anything O_o
[01:45] <leila> how do I search?
[01:45] <ThreeFinity> does ubuntu have slocate?
[01:45] <teletubbie> leila, find / -name *.url -print
[01:45] <remnon> as in use the "make" command at all
[01:45] <romenov> it's says 'php4-mysql is already the latest version'
[01:45] <leila> teletubbie

[02:07] <squiddle> ferronica  get a torrent client like bittorrent or bittornado and use it
[02:07] <Howitzer> cafe, 'unrar' i think
[02:07] <ailean_> ferronica, open synaptic, search for bit torrent and select it for install, then apply updates
[02:07] <Nameeater> cafe: you need to get the unrar package
[02:07] <Stormx2> F0LL0W3R: You'll probably need libglib2.0-0 and the -dev version. Do a search in synaptic for glib in name

[02:29] <kbrooks> Lenny1729: Don't use Totem. and please use english in here
[02:30] <gnomefreak> Lenny1729: join #ubuntu+1 for dapper and you will need the dvdlibs
[02:30] <kbrooks> Lenny1729: Totem isnt ready yet
[02:30] <Nameeater> ubotu tell Lenny1729 about restrictedformats
[02:30] <gnomefreak> kbrooks: is the easyubuntu build of dapper ready yet?
[02:30] <ferronica> i am using default program of ubuntu
[02:30] <kbrooks> gnomefreak: what build?
[02:31] <gnomefreak> kbrooks: werent they workin gon making EU for dapper?
[02:31] <jmoncayo> why when i use warthog and i install gift it installs the 0.11.6 version, and i cannot upgrade it to 0.11.8.1
[02:31] <kbrooks> gnomefreak: "they"? i'm in the team, a contributor. and the eu 3 beta works on dapper and breezy
[02:31] <gnomefreak> oh ok same one
[02:32] <yggdrasil> hmm
[02:32] <yggdrasil> whats the difference beetween a torrent seed and peer ? on btcurses ..
[02:33] <Drac|Mac> I'm on a Mac G3, and, for some reason, the keymap doesn't seem to be working properly. I can't shift when the caps lock key is not engaged! It's not just the Mac keyboard, because I'm currently logged in remotely through XDMCP and this PC-104 keyboard is having the same problem. Any ideas
[02:33] <Drac|Mac> ?*
[02:33] <kbrooks> gnomefreak: EU 3 will be released soon, after a (predicted) EU 3 RC release
[02:34] <Nameeater> fn'yggdrasil, a peer who is someone who is also dowloading the file/s, a seed is someone who is just uploading, usually they have the full copy
[02:34] <gnomefreak> oh ok kbrooks
[02:34] <kbrooks> gnomefreak: i'm just guessing here
[02:34] <yggdrasil> thnks
[02:34] <kbrooks> gnomefreak: i as the one who suggested the idea of a EU 3 RC, now that we have those major bugs squashed
[02:35] <kbrooks> was*
[02:35] <hajuu> how do I get a list of EVERYTHING thats running?

[02:36] <ferronica> my eyes r paining
[02:36] <kbrooks> ferronica: for both OSes, if you want to do something, you have to work for it
[02:36] <ferronica> windows is hard but not so complicated to install an application
[02:37] <ferronica> to install an application so many commands
[02:37] <kbrooks> ferronica: uhhh, its not very complicated in ubuntu
[02:37] <ferronica> it is
[02:37] <ferronica> i tried
[02:37] <aLPHa_LeaK> ferronica, how is it hard to install something? "sudo aptitude install <program>"....

[02:42] <hajuu> xine says I can improve my performance by installing an x11 driver that supports the Xv protocol extension?
[02:42] <hajuu> wtf is that?
[02:42] <hajuu> lol
[02:42] <samu2> Is there some way to customize the usage of tab completion for terminals so that it wont beep if the name isnt long enough, but rather just take the first possible option and then cycle through them by pressing tab again?
[02:43] <kbrooks> ferronica: xp isnt easy either
[02:43] <CokeNCode> hey, good morning everyone, question, does anyone else get lots of spam when they use gaim to connect to the msn messenger network ?

[02:54] <martyn> ye isodgback to widows
[02:54] <kbrooks> martyn: whats your native language?
[02:54] <bbrazil> Thug-N-Me: don't. Use gksudo if you need to run an X app as root
[02:54] <zaggy> aLPHa_LeaK,  Couldn't find package w32codecs
[02:54] <martyn> eglish
[02:54] <martyn> whereis te "terminal"

[02:55] <Thug-N-Me> bbrazil well the problem is that i cannot access the mounted hdd ..and i dont have write permission to it
[02:55] <ompaul> !tell Thug-N-Me about root
[02:55] <bbrazil> Thug-N-Me: what are you trying to do?
[02:55] <ompaul> Thug-N-Me, its the same as gnome
[02:56] <kbrooks> gnomefreak: deop now!
[02:56] <ZoomCities> do you guys recommend Ubuntu to be a webhost server?
[02:56] <gnomefreak> kbrooks: yes i know i was looking at something else
[02:56] <rubooo> hi my FireFox is always freezing my system
[02:56] <rubooo> when a FlashBanner comes
[02:56] <kbrooks> ZoomCities: if you use the "server" boot option, yes
[02:56] <holycow> rubooo, remove some extensions
[02:56] <aLPHa_LeaK> zaggy, uncomment the universe and multiverse in you sources.list file
[02:57] <ompaul> kbrooks, the idea of subtle would be wait 5 and say ehhh g/freak your opped
[02:57] <holycow> oh flash ... do you have gpl flash installed?
[02:57] <rubooo> yes
[02:57] <Thug-N-Me> ompaul its not the same as in gnome ... there is no such of security tab .... and stuff
[02:57] <rubooo> whats gpl flash
[02:57] <holycow> rubooo, its buggy, install the nonfree one instead until its properly debugged
[02:57] <ferronica> what is xvzf?????
[02:57] <ZoomCities> kbrooks: thanks. I am thinking for upgrading one of our servers from Fedora to Ubuntu
[02:57] <ferronica> cd
[02:57] <ferronica> tar -xvzf firefox-1.5.02.tar.gz
[02:58] <bbrazil> ferronica: extract, verbose, gzipped file
[02:58] <zaggy> aLPHa_LeaK, done so, but after running sudo apt-get update I get a number of errors, would you like me to put those in a pastebin link?
[02:58] <kbrooks> zaggy: \
[02:58] <ompaul> Thug-N-Me, do go to #kubuntu and ask there
[02:58] <kbrooks> !pastebin
[02:58] <ubotu> somebody said pastebin was http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, a site for pasting long texts so you don't disrupt the channel - or install webboard in Gnome: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269
[02:58] <aLPHa_LeaK> zaggy, yes
[02:58] <ferronica> ok
[02:58] <zaggy> aLPHa_LeaK,  okay, hold on
[02:58] <zaggy> kbrooks,  what?
[02:58] <martyn> i think i just learned sumthing, thank you very much
[02:58] <CokeNCode> isn't the Fedora project in shambles ?
[02:58] <ferronica>  firefox-1.5.02.tar.gz i saved it in home
[02:58] <ompaul> Thug-N-Me, to achieve it you want a konsole, but trust me on this you don't want it
[02:58] <CokeNCode> ubuntu seems to be the better option
[02:58] <kbrooks> CokeNCode: no
[02:58] <ompaul> !tell Thug-N-Me about root
[02:59] <kbrooks> CokeNCode: not in shambles
[02:59] <ferronica> then typed---cd
[02:59] <ferronica> tar -xvzf firefox-1.5.02.tar.gz
[02:59] <ferronica> error camed
[02:59] <kbrooks> CokeNCode: tey shelved the foundation for various reasons
[02:59] <CokeNCode> kbrooks, so how would you describe the current state of affairs then ?
[02:59] <_jason> ferronica: tell us the error please
[02:59] <ferronica> tar: firefox-1.5.02.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
[02:59] <ferronica> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[02:59] <ferronica> tar: Child returned status 2

[02:59] <zaggy> aLPHa_LeaK, http://pastebin.com/703387
[02:59] <hajuu> oh I got my dvds playing quite a bit better
[02:59] <hajuu> using xv
[02:59] <_jason> ferronica: if it is long please make a post at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ instead of pasting here in the future
[02:59] <kbrooks> ferronica: cd Desktop, try that command again
[02:59] <hajuu> rather than opengl
[02:59] <ferronica> ok sorry
[02:59] <Thug-N-Me> ompaul yeah
[03:00] <aLPHa_LeaK> zaggy, thats weird...+
[03:00] <_jason> ferronica: in 3 weeks dapper will be out and the upgrade will be much easier (you can use apt).  Are you sure you want to go through the trouble of installing firefox 1.5 this way?
[03:00] <zaggy> aLPHa_LeaK, I concur
[03:00] <Nameeater> hajuu: was it hard to do?
[03:00] <aLPHa_LeaK> anyway im away...
[03:01] <ferronica> ok after that
[03:01] <ferronica> cd desktop
[03:01] <ompaul> ferronica, its on the page, correctly
[03:01] <_jason> ferronica: no, it has to be a capital D: cd Desktop
[03:01] <ompaul> ferronica, copy the pages actions one at a time and it will work for you as it has for others

[03:02] <martyn> does any 1 know how to install paltalk on ubuntu?
[03:02] <martyn> wat does all this mean? -The file /root/rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs2_rpm does not exist, or it is corrupt. You may have downloaded the wrong file, or put it in the wrong location. Please try again.
[03:02] <martyn> If the file you downloaded has a different name, the filename may have changed since this installer was last updated. You can still try to use the installer; just rename the file you downloaded to /root/rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs2_rpm . Note that if you do this, there is no guarantee the installer will work.
[03:02] <popey> martyn: is that like msn messenger? you could use GAIM instead?
[03:03] <ompaul> martyn, that is not a ubuntu program, it is for a redhat based distro
[03:03] <aLPHa_LeaK> zaggy, maybe delete the nl? so that its just archive.ubuntu.com
[03:03] <Nameeater> martyn: http://frankscorner.org/index.php?p=paltalk5
[03:03] <zaggy> aLPHa_LeaK, okay, i'll give that a try.
[03:05] <martyn> i dont know how to install it..
[03:05] <zaggy> is ubuntu still using mozilla 1.0.8??
[03:05] <majorgeek> I never set a root password
[03:05] <majorgeek> how do I su ?
[03:06] <majorgeek> or how do I set one?
[03:06] <_jason> ubotu: tell majorgeek about sudo
[03:06] <popey> majorgeek: sudo su -
[03:06] <majorgeek> yeah that's great.
[03:06] <popey> martyn: why do you want to install paltalk? what does it do?
[03:06] <_jason> majorgeek: please read the page ubotu sent you
[03:06] <majorgeek> I don't know what my password is
[03:06] <majorgeek> k
[03:06] <popey> majorgeek: it's asking for your password, not roots
[03:06] <majorgeek> ok
[03:06] <aLPHa_LeaK> majorgeek, sudo -s
[03:07] <majorgeek> that doesn't help me if I wanna su so I can do a bunch of permissions changes
[03:07] <Thug-N-Me> dammmmmmmmm firefox its getting crazy
[03:07] <martyn> its a very good chat program
[03:07] <martyn> for meeting new people etc
[03:07] <popey> majorgeek: yes it does
[03:07] <popey> majorgeek: sudo su
[03:07] <_jason> majorgeek: sudo -i, will allow you to do that safely
[03:07] <maskd> majorgeek: just use alacarte, and enable root terminal under system tools
[03:07] <Thug-N-Me> since i installed kubuntu-desktop its crashing 24/7
[03:07] <majorgeek> oh cool
[03:07] <majorgeek> sudo su
[03:07] <majorgeek> ty lol
[03:07] <_jason> majorgeek: sudo su won't reset ENV vars, that's why sudo -i is preferred
[03:08] <popey> I initially said "sudo su -" which would _jason
[03:08] <zaggy> Why isn't Ubuntu using mozilla-firefox 1.5 yet?
[03:08] <popey> zaggy: Ubuntu Dapper does have FF1.5, out in 3 weeks
[03:08] <ompaul> popey, we actually don't do that - we say read the webpage wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo and then they can make their mind up
[03:08] <zaggy> popey, darn
[03:08] <gnomefreak> zaggy: for breezy its not
[03:08] <maskd> using ff 1.5.0.2 here
[03:09] <popey> ok ompaul
[03:09] <zaggy> maskd, how did you install it?
[03:09] <ompaul> popey, cheers :-)
[03:09] <popey> no worries :)
[03:09] <popey> bah
[03:09] <maskd> zaggy: it did it all for me, im using dapper though
[03:10] <zaggy> maskd, ah, I'm using the cd I ordered from the site (5.1 64bit)
[03:11] <zaggy> hurray, w32 codecs
[03:11] <aLPHa_LeaK> zaggy, is it all working now?
[03:11] <zaggy> at least the w32 part is
[03:11] <maskd> i find installing vlc easier :) pity most wmv files dont work
[03:11] <zaggy> oh right, i'll remove the nl aLPHa_LeaK
[03:12] <zaggy> maskd, vlc is nice  :)
[03:12] <spikeb> the only thing about vlc is there is no decent gui skin imho
[03:12] <maskd> the update to wxwidgets made it so much nicer to look at, it was a bit ugly before that
[03:12] <zaggy> I get the following error while opening Synaptic: http://pastebin.com/703420
[03:12] <maskd> dont think so spikeb? i love the default vlc gui
[03:13] <spikeb> maskd, if it had a skin that made it look like totem, i'd love it more :)
[03:13] <cafe> were i can download mp3gain
[03:14] <aLPHa_LeaK> zaggy, did you type apt-get update already?
[03:14] <fredrich> Anyone know how to get a wlan-ng card (dwl-122) working properly with gtkwifi?
[03:14] <zaggy> aLPHa_LeaK, yes, let me do that again.
[03:14] <Thug-N-Me> so no one can tell me why the playback of mpeg files are slow with mplayer ? i have a ll codecs installed
[03:14] <aLPHa_LeaK> fredrich, ndiswrapper
[03:14] <aLPHa_LeaK> ;)
[03:15] <maskd> Thug-N-Me: I found that all video went really slow when i didnt have the right video drivers installed
[03:15] <fredrich> aLPHa_LeaK, then i cant use airsnort or kismet? or at least ive never managed to get those working with ndis
[03:16] <Thug-N-Me> maskd well i have the all codecs package from mplayer main page installed
[03:16] <rogue-> is Ubuntu better than Slackware ?
[03:16] <Nameeater> taht would be a personal opinion
[03:16] <spikeb> rogue-, no. it's just different.
[03:16] <aLPHa_LeaK> fredrich, well, i don't know, because i've never run airsnort/kismet with a dwl-122(although i have one)
[03:16] <rogue-> different .. like .. hm .. like gay people are different ?
[03:16] <maskd> rogue-: that doesn't make sense.
[03:17] <zaggy> aLPHa_LeaK, didn't get much better I'm afraid: http://pastebin.com/703425
[03:17] <rogue-> yes it does
[03:17] <spikeb> rogue-, more like how bob the blonde haired norweigan and bill the black haired italian are different
[03:17] <gnomefreak> rogue-: its not as user freindly IMHO
[03:18] <rogue-> why does the site say ubuntu is linux for human beings ? are other distributions for non-human beings ?
[03:18] <MrFeetio> i cant open users and groups, and now there is a debian menu, i need help
[03:18] <spikeb> rogue-, yes ;)
[03:18] <rogue-> ubuntu isn't as user friendly as slackware ?
[03:18] <maskd> slackware doesnt have a default gui and its package management doesn't check for dependencies
[03:18] <mowgly> haha : )
[03:18] <ompaul> rogue-, they can also claim that
[03:18] <zaggy> is there  way to get a new sources.list?
[03:18] <ompaul> !easysource
[03:18] <ubotu> For an easy to use custom sources.list creator, visit http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[03:18] <zaggy> <3
[03:18] <ompaul> zaggy, ^^^
[03:18] <gnomefreak> omguru ;)
[03:18] <zaggy> !thanks
[03:18] <ubotu> de nada, zaggy
[03:19] <ompaul> !bot
[03:19] <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.
[03:19] <zaggy> :P
[03:19] <rogue-> hmmm
[03:19] <rogue-> but is ubuntu better than centos ?
[03:20] <maskd> rogue-: its all personal preference
[03:20] <maskd> of course people who are on the ubuntu channel would say ubuntu is better
[03:20] <rogue-> what's personal preference ?
[03:20] <zaggy> you would have to try it out yourself
[03:20] <zaggy> I tried debian, gentoo and now  ubuntu
[03:20] <Seveas> rogue-, well, centos is really really crap 
[03:20] <the_Kane> hey
[03:21] <criscristi> timisoara
[03:21] <maskd> hey the_Kane
[03:21] <olicat> hi all - does anyone have an idea why my 2nd monitor will only go to 800x600? it's the same monitor/card as my 1st display, which is at 1280x1024 (nvidia binary drivers)
[03:21] <Seveas> If you want something red-hat based, go for fedora core 5, not centos
[03:21] <CokeNCode> hey Seveas , how'd you do that cool smiley
[03:21] <the_Kane> can someone help me.. i want to access me windows shared folder on my ubuntu machine
[03:21] <spikeb> Seveas, that's insane
[03:21] <ompaul> Seveas, two things, one language, two don't abuse the word really beside centos its not really anything :)
[03:22] <Seveas> heh
[03:22] <Seveas> true
[03:22] <rogue-> why fedora instead of centos ? fedora is new .. instable .. bs
[03:22] <rogue-> -unstable
[03:22] <Seveas> centos is old and unstable 
[03:22] <popey> enterprise apps (e.g. SAP) that run on redhat, don't run on fedora
[03:22] <rogue-> nope.
[03:22] <popey> mind you, if you've got the money to buy SAP, you'd buy redhat :)
[03:22] <zaggy> archlinux seems nice, young, good packetmanager, new stuff
[03:22] <Seveas> popey, centos != red hat
[03:22] <ompaul> rogue-, we talk ubuntu support, we point you to #ubuntu-offtopic for fun and games
[03:22] <olicat> any ideas on the resolution of a 2nd display? i don't think anything is wrong with my config (http://pastebin.ca/54015)
[03:22] <Seveas> if you want red hat, go red hat
[03:23] <spikeb> if it runs on RHEL, it WILL run on centos.
[03:23] <popey> hence me mentioning is spikeb :)
[03:23] <Seveas> spikeb, but it's just as unsupported as on FC
[03:23] <spikeb> popey, aye
[03:23] <rogue-> hmmmmmmmmm
[03:23] <senare> i relly need saome help
[03:23] <rogue-> kbye
[03:23] <ompaul> !helpme
[03:23] <ubotu> If you do not actually ask a question, we cannot actually help you. :)
[03:23] <highvoltage> doesn't sap run on ubuntu?
[03:23] <zaggy> how to check if my video drivers are installed properly?
[03:23] <senare> at least some pointers ... trying to set up my partiotions ..
[03:23] <aeroshadow> why am i not allowed to run two sound programs on ubuntu?
[03:24] <popey> not supported highvoltage (on the server side), no
[03:24] <aeroshadow> is there a fix for this?
[03:24] <popey> highvoltage: client does though :)
[03:24] <the_Kane> can someone help me share my windows shared folder with my ubuntu machine?
[03:24] <highvoltage> geez.. wha'ts wrong with them!?
[03:24] <highvoltage> :)
[03:24] <bbrazil> senare: just ask a question
[03:24] <popey> highvoltage: http://www.sap.com/linux ask them :)
[03:24] <zenit> senare: try to be more specific, what kind of problem with partitioning do you have?
[03:24] <highvoltage> ok :)
[03:24] <senare> using lvm and all but i only end up with one gigantic /root
[03:24] <senare> can i take it sown to size and how ?
[03:24] <zenit> senare: did you create a partition for lvm?
[03:24] <highvoltage> (not that i really care for sap in the first place)
[03:25] <senare> yes i did
[03:25] <popey> aaaanyway
[03:25] <maskd> the_Kane: it should be seen in Network Servers under Windows Network
[03:25] <maskd> its pretty slow, but it seems to work for me
[03:25] <maskd> i found that streaming video doesnt work well,but rather you copy the files to your computer then play them
[03:26] <the_Kane> maskd: when i open Network Servers, i get prompted to enter passwords (lots of passwords, they dont go away) is that normal?
[03:26] <maskd> the_Kane: i've never encountered that before
[03:27] <the_Kane> could it have something to do with my proxy server (installed on the windows machine?)

[03:32] <ubotu> I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Thug-N-Me

[03:32] <ubotu> Seveas has a semi-popular 3rd party repository for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages

[03:32] <Seveas> if it says "direct rendering: yes" it works 
[03:32] <etam> Seveas: direct rendering: no
[03:33] <etam> Seveas: that means it doesnt?
[03:33] <senare> better ?
[03:33] <Seveas> etam, correct
[03:34] <etam> Seveas: how can i install it?
[03:34] <slackern> etam: fglrxinfo will also say let you know which driver you are using.
[03:34] <Seveas> gnomefreak, ?
[03:34] <zaggy> this is annoying, I tried creating a very ordinary sources.list, and then sudo apt-get update, but I get this: http://pastebin.com/703447
[03:34] <etam> slackern: but when it doesnt?
[03:34] <gnomefreak> Seveas: you know about that one
[03:34] <Seveas> yeah, he left though 
[03:35] <gnomefreak> yeah well i unbanned him before and re instated it due to what you and he talked about
[03:35] <slackern> etam: have you installed the fglrx drivers?
[03:35] <the_Kane> Question: Does annyone know why i get prompted for passwords when i open Network Servers
[03:35] <etam> slackern: yes

[03:36] <theorem> hi im having trouble with synapitc
[03:36] <etam> slackern: what should i do?
[03:36] <slackern> etam: have you ran 'sudo dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and choosen fglrx instead of ati as driver?
[03:36] <ablyss> the_Kane:  samba is using the root account to access the workgroup
[03:36] <slackern> etam: let me look up a guide/wiki

[03:49] <Nullified> Heya guys, got a quick question, Everytime i use Gnomebaker to try and create an Audio cd MP3 -> CD format i get the error "The plugin to handle a file type of "Audio/mpeg" is not installed, But i cant find how to install it
[03:49] <zaggy> _jason, oops I was looking at the unpacked file, the packed file has the extension .gz
[03:49] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell Nullified about restricted
[03:49] <zaggy> _jason, when looking at its properties it says it's a gzip archive
[03:49] <_jason> zaggy: ok
[03:50] <Nullified> ubotu restriced
[03:50] <ubotu> Huh? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Nullified
[03:50] <gnomefreak> Nullified: read the pm ubotu sent you
[03:50] <_jason> zaggy: do you use a proxy or something?
[03:50] <Nullified> thx
[03:50] <gnomefreak> yw
[03:51] <zaggy> _jason,  my provider uses an auto proxy, which I cannot surpass, however I don't have to set any proxy myself
[03:52] <_jason> zaggy: if you do 'md5sum Packages.gz' is it 1b4fd7505c43fd4fcb442b0fbfed96c9 ?

[03:54] <rampage> anyone knows how do i can repair my system? i did a big mistake to my libc6-dev and libc6 - file
[03:54] <aeroshadow> how do i make it so i can hear sound from more than one application?
[03:55] <bobbyd> hi
[03:55] <rampage> hi
[03:55] <zaggy> bobbyd, hi
[03:55] <serp> aeroshadow: use ALSA
[03:55] <rampage> anyone knows how do i can repair my system? i did a big mistake to my libc6-dev and libc6 - file
[03:55] <aeroshadow> thanks
[03:55] <aeroshadow> i will try googling that
[03:55] <DrNickRiviera> hi, i've just installed the amd64 version of kubuntu breezy badger and after i select the resolution the screen goes blank
[03:55] <bobbyd> is there a linux app that can do vido chats with MSN (I've never used that but it's what my sister uses...)
[03:55] <_jason> zaggy: hmm  that's weird, I don't really know what's going on, sorry
[03:55] <DrNickRiviera> i'm using a matrox g450 graphics card and set the maximum resolution to 1280x1024 which my monitor support
[03:55] <DrNickRiviera> s
[03:56] <aeroshadow> oh also, how come my resolution changes every time i reboot?
[03:56] <aeroshadow> the size of the pic and stuff
[03:56] <aeroshadow> i have to press the buttons on my monitor to set it back every time
[03:56] <zaggy> _jason,  okay, thanks for helping so far :-)
[03:56] <DrNickRiviera> what could be causing that problem (it's the same when i use the live cd)
[03:56] <zaggy> _jason, could downloading 32 bit dapper help?
[03:58] <_jason> zaggy: why don't you try the livecd, just so you don't waste your time installing it and ending up with the same problem?  64bit just means a little extra work for wmv9 and flash afaict
[03:59] <pansonic> hey guys looking for a command for listing folder contents to a word doc
[03:59] <zaggy> _jason, the live cd I ordered from ubuntu shipping doesn't function, the cd check says some files are corrupt, the I used to install was the only one working :-(
[03:59] <bbrazil> pansonic: "ls" will list hte contents
[03:59] <_jason> zaggy: probablt just a bad burn.  If you burn your own at like 2x or 4x, it should work
[03:59] <rampage> anyone knows how do i can repair my system? i did a big mistake to my libc6-dev and libc6 - file
[03:59] <pansonic> i need to send the contents to a word doc
[03:59] <zaggy> _jason, ill go try that, cheers.
[04:00] <pascal80> pansonic: ls > filename.txt
[04:00] <DrNickRiviera> pansonic: i expect you would need a fairly complicated script to do that
[04:00] <pansonic> really?
[04:00] <DrNickRiviera> probably easier to just copy it from a txt if that's an option
[04:00] <bbrazil> rampage: probably boot from a live cd and replace your libc with a good version
[04:01] <rampage> ok... i will try
[04:01] <rampage> thanks
[04:01] <ompaul> pansonic, why not use the ISO ODF format, as in OpenOffice (which does other formats [hint]  also)
[04:01] <rampage> a lot
[04:01] <pansonic> ok
[04:01] <pansonic> thanx

[04:06] <Spitty> daryl- the ubuntu forums or the ubuntu wiki?  I know there's at least one howto involving WoW and ubuntu
[04:07] <daryl> Spitty, all that I've found has been on howto install it.  Nothing to really address problems like choppiness.  any suggestions?
[04:07] <Spitty> hrm... have gl acceleration installed?
[04:07] <the_Kane> Question: how do i stop my self from being 'idle' on xchat?
[04:07] <pianoboy3333> I'm looking for some good sounds/system sounds, does anyone know where I can get some?
[04:07] <pianoboy3333> the_Kane: do /back
[04:07] <rampage> THANK YOU BBRAZIL !!!
[04:08] <the_Kane> pianoboy3333: i mean so my proxy server wont stop the connetion
[04:08] <pianoboy3333> oh
[04:08] <bbrazil> rampage: you're welcome
[04:09] <rampage> :-)
[04:09] <the_Kane> do you know how to do that?
[04:09] <senare> i am reinstalling not o get partitions righgt anybody that could tell me how to get 3 LVM partitions
[04:10] <carbo> is it possible to play a video file in reverse?
[04:10] <senare> oki bye'
[04:10] <serp> can I put smbfs things in fstab ?
[04:11] <aLPHa_LeaK> serp, have you tried yet?
[04:11] <kbrooks> carbo: rewind option?
[04:11] <bbrazil> serp: yes
[04:11] <serp> aLPHa_LeaK: I don't know how

[04:12] <serp> Seveas: thanks
[04:13] <carbo> kbrooks: which player? i can't seem to do this with totem or mplayer
[04:13] <kbrooks> carbo: i dont know
[04:13] <rampage> mh... can anyone say me how do i can make win-applications run with wine better on my ubuntu-server?
[04:14] <l_r> hello
[04:14] <l_r> are we ready for ubuntu stable?
[04:14] <rampage> because now i got a freezed xfire-window in center of desktop
[04:15] <soundray> carbo: I don't know of any player with that capability. It would be difficult to implement, as with modern video codecs, only keyframes are transmitted in full, while in-between frames are transmitted as "diffs" from those keyframes.
[04:15] <Nilvio> when i put glxinfo my console it give mee error and i now installed ati drivers ?
[04:15] <gnomefreak> l_r: ubuntu 5.10 breezy badger is stable

[04:16] <soundray> carbo: yes, you can reverse audio in audacity, I believe.
[04:17] <soundray> carbo: decoding hidden satanic messages? ;)
[04:17] <Spitty> rampage- using windows aplications is rather hit-or-miss in linux...  google to see if anyone else has your problem
[04:17] <F0LL0W3R> heey ma problem is how to make the default character encoding is Arabic for the English n arabic siter to enable Reading arabic in English sites but wen i store the setting frm preferences in firefox it reset itself to the original defaults
[04:17] <bbrazil> carbo: I'm pretty sure 'sox' does reverse audio
[04:17] <Nilvio> i installed ati driver and now i wow not start !! what is problem
[04:17] <carbo> soundray: haha no, just playing around
[04:17] <carbo> bbrazil: thanks, i'll check that out too

[04:19] <fredrich> anyone know why a wlan nic cant be seen in the network settings even if ndiswrapper loaded it up just fine?
[04:19] <rampage> hello again :D
[04:20] <bbrazil> soundray: if you were makeing a song, could you resist?
[04:20] <soundray> fredrich: perhaps you still have to sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[04:20] <rampage> yeah, i got a big thread with the same problem in ubuntu-forums
[04:20] <rampage> :o)
[04:20] <soundray> bbrazil: no, but I would encode angelic, or at least ubuntuic messages :)
[04:21] <Spitty> any fixes offered, rampage?
[04:21] <soundray> fredrich: if that solves it, add a single line 'ndiswrapper' to your /etc/modules
[04:21] <fredrich> soundray, just tried that....didnt work....a iwconfig shows both my wlan nics being there...but only one of em can be accessed in the network settings and gtkwifi
[04:21] <rampage> i only got a thread
[04:21] <rampage> i stard readin..
[04:21] <rampage> :)
[04:22] <rampage> wanna have url?
[04:22] <soundray> fredrich: are both nics ndiswrapped?
[04:22] <fredrich> soundray, yep..
[04:22] <soundray> fredrich: not sure if ndiswrapper handles that.
[04:22] <rampage> mh... not the same bug :(
[04:22] <rampage> i go on with searchin..
[04:23] <soundray> fredrich: I take it you see "hardware present, driver present" for both cards on 'ndiswrapper -i'?
[04:23] <fredrich> soundray, yep....theyre both there
[04:23] <soundray> fredrich: have you stfw for running two wlan cards with ndiswrapper?
[04:24] <fredrich> stfw?
[04:24] <soundray> !stfw
[04:24] <ubotu> Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, soundray

[04:24] <rampage> i go to start downloadin' wolfenstein... i need a little break off the work ^^
[04:24] <soundray> fredrich: sorry. "Search The Fine Web"
[04:24] <fonscho> Spitty: well, the introduction works good, but the last command doesn't work for me
[04:24] <fonscho> :-(
[04:25] <fredrich> soundray, according to the ndiswrapper page and wiki, it should work...it even has a parameter of sorts to allow for the naming of multiple wifi nics
[04:25] <fonscho> it says
[04:25] <fonscho> anton@homer:~$ lppasswd
[04:25] <fonscho> Enter old password:
[04:25] <fonscho> Enter password:
[04:25] <fonscho> Enter password again:

[04:25] <fonscho> your username, and must contain at least one letter and number.
[04:25] <agraupe> I'm having trouble setting up wireless networking.  I'm following the guide on the ubuntu wiki to set up my broadcom 4318 with ndiswrapper, but it fails after "modprobe ndiswrapper".  dmesg reports unknown symbols as the source of the error.  I'm using breezy, and the most recent drivers I could find for the wireless card
[04:26] <rampage> lol? how can i start a .run - application?
[04:26] <rampage> oO
[04:26] <Spitty> rampage, sh ./<packagename>
[04:26] <valehru> I cant see vmware in the synaptic package manager
[04:27] <rampage> sh? i thought it is shell... but i do if u say ... ur professional
[04:27] <soundray> fredrich: yes, my own web search here confirms that too. Sorry, no further ideas here.
[04:27] <Howitzer> What bittorrent client supports selecting files in a big torrent? (like, for example, this huge Judas Priest discography has all 17 albums, but i only need 1, that torrent is the only torrent that has that album, i need to select all songs from that album => HYPOTHETICLY, not warez)
[04:28] <fredrich> soundray, thanks anywaymate :)
[04:28] <soundray> fredrich: oh, there's one more idea: does the nonworking one start working when you remove the other?
[04:29] <fredrich> soundray, ...lemme check....i will fall off the net though...(im connected using the working card right now)...but ill be back in a sec

[04:32] <bbrazil> [A] ndy80: smbpasswd?
[04:32] <soundray> fredrich: did you physically remove the working interface, rmmod ndiswrapper, and start afresh?
[04:33] <[A] ndy80> bbrazil: don't know... do I have to use it?
[04:33] <aeroshadow> how do you get alsa working?
[04:33] <aeroshadow> i followed a lot of tutorials
[04:33] <bbrazil> [A] ndy80: what are you trying to do?
[04:33] <aeroshadow> but i still can't get multiple sounds
[04:33] <salmiak> i had multiplexing with a pure installation of breezy
[04:33] <fredrich> soundray, i just removed the nic and did a sudo ndiswrapper -e
[04:34] <soundray> [A] ndy80: perhaps you mean 'john'? apt-cache search windows password
[04:34] <fredrich> should i have rmmodded the ndiswrapper module too?
[04:34] <[A] ndy80> bbrazil: I don't know the Administrator password and I want to reset the password to be able to uninstall/installa some application
[04:34] <bbrazil> [A] ndy80: right, the windows rescue disk has stuff for that as far as I know
[04:35] <marky> anyone familiar with emilia pinball?
[04:35] <soundray> fredrich: Well, if you assume that there is an adverse interaction between the drivers or the cards themselves, you would have to go as far back as possible to disprove it.
[04:35] <marky> i woundered if there is any more tales for it
[04:35] <marky> tables*
[04:35] <fredrich> soundray, ok...ill try that....be back in a sec

[04:53] <fonscho> well, spitty help me now but the web interface of cups doesn't work, now it test the gnome tool for cups on my xubuntu system, but this message was sent: ** (gnome-cups-add:5713): WARNING **: unable to load icon 'gnome-dev-printer-new '
[04:53] <fonscho> what package is needed for it?
[04:54] <amiga> bbrazil i dont know if the options are good what about /dev/hda3       /mnt/hard1     ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1   ?
[04:54] <rom232> anyone know how to read SDCard on palm device using ubuntu ?
[04:54] <bbrazil> amiga: looks fine. The errors= tell the kernel what to do if the disk goes dodgy
[04:54] <_jason> fonscho: gnome-cups-manager package owns it on my system for hicolor icon theme
[04:55] <alecks> rom232: can you clarify?
[04:55] <flapane> hi
[04:55] <flapane> my applications bar disappeared on kde3.5.2...
[04:55] <fonscho> _jason, well, this package is installed
[04:55] <flapane> i'm afrai it's hidden
[04:55] <rom232> alecks: I'm trying to access my palm device, on ubuntu... specificaly SDCard on it...
[04:55] <flapane> anybody can help me?
[04:55] <fonscho> but it needs a icon
[04:55] <_jason> fonscho: does /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/devices/gnome-dev-printer-new.png exist?
[04:56] <amiga> bbrazil right .. but i should change ro to rw so i have write permission isnt it ?
[04:56] <bbrazil> amiga: no, defaults includes rw
[04:56] <fonscho> _jason, yes it does
[04:56] <duy> how 2 removed file in trast by console
[04:57] <amiga> bbrazil ohh i see ... but whats that ro there for then ?
[04:57] <valehru> how can I change the permissions of a directory?
[04:57] <valehru> via the console?
[04:57] <_jason> fonscho: actually, reading what you pasted, it seems to be only a warning.  What exactly is not working?
[04:57] <bbrazil> amiga: well, if the disk fails or the FS becomes inconsistant you can either remount it read-only or kernel panic
[04:57] <fonscho> _jason
[04:57] <LinuxJones> valehru: chmod
[04:57] <fonscho> well, can i send you
[04:57] <bbrazil> valehru: chmod 755 dirname
[04:57] <amiga> bbrazil ohh so its just in case like
[04:57] <fonscho> the whole message per query?
[04:57] <_jason> fonscho: put it up on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[04:57] <bbrazil> amiga: yeah
[04:57] <valehru> will that change the sub directories permissions as well?
[04:58] <amiga> bbrazil ok thanks a lot
[04:58] <LinuxJones> valehru: if you use chmod -R (means recursive)
[04:58] <amiga> bbrazil so from now on my 2nd hdd will be mounted automat. on boot and it will be owned by the user or root ?
[04:58] <holycow> !fstab
[04:58] <ubotu> the /etc/fstab  file lists all drives and partitions but can be easily configured automatically with the diskmounter file found here http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounter  See <partitions>.
[04:59] <bbrazil> amiga: it'll apply permissions as per the filesystem as it's ext3
[04:59] <amiga> ohh well thats not good
[04:59] <LinuxJones> valehru: but that doesn't work on microsoft filesystems tho
[04:59] <bbrazil> amiga: unless you have od requirements, it's what you want
[04:59] <amiga> i want the 2nd hard disk drive to be mounted with fuill permission for the user
[05:00] <bbrazil> amiga: then when it's mounted set the permissions to 1777 (same as /tmp)
[05:00] <fonscho> _jason: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13572  I can delete a printer
[05:00] <fonscho> but i cannot add one with the tool
[05:00] <Nilvio> that ati drivers sucks
[05:00] <Nilvio> i now try do it 2 days and not work
[05:00] <Nilvio> they sucks
[05:00] <amiga> bbrazil i just set sudo chown -R user:user /mount/location   will this stay like this forever ?
[05:01] <holycow> Nilvio, ati sucks in general *nod* i just gave up,its faster and cheaper tojust buy nvidia
[05:01] <spikeb> ati drivers do suck, even when they work
[05:01] <amiga> spikeb :)
[05:01] <bbrazil> amiga: that'll work too
[05:01] <valehru> LinuxJones, so say for a directory to give full permissions for that user it would be as follows: sudo chmod -r 775 backup
[05:01] <spikeb> the xorg drivers for the supported cards aren't half bad though
[05:01] <valehru> where backup is the directory
[05:01] <valehru> ?
[05:01] <_jason> fonscho: how come you have all those duplicate drivers?
[05:02] <fonscho> i don't know
[05:02] <Nilvio> i change tomorrow windows back
[05:02] <fonscho> i only have a brother printer
[05:02] <LinuxJones> valehru: if your the user yes
[05:02] <valehru> sudo chmod -r 775 backup
[05:02] <valehru> chmod: cannot access `775': No such file or directory
[05:02] <salmiak> Nilvio, try with getting an nvidia card?
[05:03] <amiga> bbrazil i will reboot now to see if it works
[05:03] <Nilvio> no i dont have money to buy that
[05:03] <salmiak> ok :S
[05:03] <amiga> bbrazil thanks for your help
[05:03] <spikeb> heh i dont even have the option of getting a nvidia card, so i just use the open source radeon drivers
[05:03] <LinuxJones> valehru: chmod -R
[05:03] <Nilvio> need format computer and istall windows back i thinks
[05:03] <Nilvio> that drivers not work and my audios not work
[05:04] <_jason> fonscho: what icon theme are you using?
[05:04] <salmiak> why dont your audio work?
[05:04] <salmiak> and, Nilvio, try with changing habits...You're a gamer, right?
[05:04] <fonscho> _jason, well, you mean on xfce?
[05:04] <Nilvio> yes i am wow player
[05:04] <fonscho> i haven't gnome
[05:04] <_jason> fonscho: oh right... hmm
[05:04] <ayabara> hi guys. I have some trouble getting my wireless card to work, intel 2200bg in an inspiron 6000
[05:05] <ayabara> can someone help me out?
[05:05] <holycow> !ask
[05:05] <ubotu> Just ask. Questions in the channel should be specific, informative, complete, concise and on-topic. Information like hardware make, model and output of commands that you used pasted onto http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org is important.
[05:05] <fonscho> _jason, perhaps running my printer installing gnome? ;-)
[05:05] <_jason> fonscho: heh, how do the icons work in xfce?  can you choose to use the gnome icon theme?
[05:05] <fonscho> _jason, let me see
[05:05] <|lostbyte|> How to switch between interfaces ?
[05:06] <roniez> |lostbyte|: how do u nean?
[05:06] <roniez> mean*
[05:06] <|lostbyte|> How do i tell ubuntu that internet is comming from eth1 not eth2..
[05:06] <LinuxJones> valehru: when using that command it's a good idea to use absolute paths starting from the root directory like /home/user/backup
[05:06] <valehru> ahh ok
[05:06] <fonscho> _jason, no i cannot
[05:07] <valehru> well......the lock symbol has left the directories
[05:07] <valehru> however I am now unable to delete any of the files in that directory
[05:07] <valehru> ohh...strange
[05:07] <LazySod> |lostbyte|, in system - administration - networking
[05:07] <valehru> I can now
[05:07] <valehru> thanks for your help
[05:07] <holycow> system / admin / networking ... |lostbyte|
[05:08] <valehru> gah
[05:08] <LazySod> |lostbyte|, the "default gateway device" is where "internet comes from".
[05:08] <valehru> now I dont have permissions to write to that folder
[05:08] <_jason> fonscho: did the web interface not work?
[05:08] <daryl> excuse me, does anyone here run WoW in XGL?
[05:08] <fonscho> _jason, no, because it has problems with users
[05:08] <fonscho> testing all
[05:08] <holycow> LazySod, no, he needs to select default eth device in the mian window, pulldown menu at the bottom
[05:08] <fonscho> well, that's pervers
[05:08] <_jason> fonscho: what kind of problems?
[05:09] <fonscho> well, it cannot log in as user and root
[05:09] <holycow> first theres no root
[05:09] <holycow> !root
[05:09] <ubotu> Direct login as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[05:09] <highvoltage> am i right that you would be able to, upgrade from one enterprise release of ubuntu to the next, without all the steps inbetween?
[05:09] <rampage> hi
[05:09] <fonscho> well, i have a root user now!
[05:09] <holycow> second, its notsmart to loose your user pass:)
[05:09] <fonscho> but it doesn't work still
[05:10] <rampage> anyone knows how to start a .bin - application?
[05:10] <valehru> LinuxJones, the current permissions for root are drwxrwxr-x
[05:10] <fonscho> rampage, use sh ./dflgladfld.bin
[05:10] <highvoltage> from a terminal, type ./programname.bin
[05:10] <bbrazil> rampage: usually they're shell scripts
[05:10] <CapnTusks> anyone know how to install a program i downloaded off a website?
[05:10] <trnc> is it ok to download linux-source-2.6.12_2.6.12-10.32.all.deb for my kernel source when my kernel version is 2.6.12-9-386?
[05:10] <_jason> CapnTusks: what program?
[05:10] <LinuxJones> valehru: your user account doesn't own the files
[05:10] <CapnTusks> opera
[05:10] <valehru> hmm..
[05:10] <_jason> ubotu: tell CapnTusks about opera
[05:10] <rampage> all shell-scripts... next time i try without asking :D
[05:10] <valehru> so how could I change it to my user account?
[05:11] <trnc> i can't find the exact kernel source package
[05:11] <LinuxJones> valehru: your can take ownership of all the files in a directory by doing chown -R user:user /path/to/directory
[05:11] <bbrazil> trnc: yes, although if you're compiling modules for your current kernel you might hit problems
[05:11] <trnc> i am bbrazil
[05:11] <ompaul> valehru, it is linux not windows - doing that with core files will break your machine in new and interesting ways
[05:11] <trnc> so what do i do?
[05:11] <rampage> RealPlayer10GOLD.bin: RealPlayer10GOLD.bin: cannot execute binary file
[05:11] <Nilvio> ok i gona install windows 2000 ya
[05:12] <Nilvio> cya
[05:12] <trnc> i can't see kernel-source-2.6.12-9-386 on ubuntu packages
[05:12] <rampage> aand now?
[05:12] <trnc> and its not on the disk
[05:12] <CapnTusks> thanks jason, i'll try it :)
[05:12] <theorem> hi can anyone help with gcc
[05:12] <LinuxJones> valehru: BTW do not run that command on any system directories like /usr or /etc that would be very bad :)
[05:12] <valehru> yeah I know
[05:12] <bradley_> hello everyone
[05:12] <valehru> I only want to do it to a backup directory
[05:12] <bradley_> quick question (hopefully)

[05:13] <daryl> Anyone in here use World of Warcraft in ubuntu?  I'm running it right now w/problems
[05:13] <_jason> fonscho: there are some crashing bugs on launchpad.  Maybe you can review them and see if they are the same.  If they are not, you may want to file your own
[05:13] <LinuxJones> valehru: it would be chown -R valehru:valehru /path/to/dir
[05:13] <LazySod> |lostbyte|, do you use gnome or kde?
[05:13] <rampage> that error is on terminal if i write "sudo sh filename.bin"
[05:13] <rampage> RealPlayer10GOLD.bin: RealPlayer10GOLD.bin: cannot execute binary file
[05:13] <fonscho> _jason: the "solution" is installing gnome
[05:13] <fonscho> ;-)
[05:14] <rampage> and how do i can execute it ?
[05:14] <bradley_> i just had a problem with the xserver loading, which seems to be solved because i now can view my desktop, but i'm stuck on 800x600 resolution whereas i used to run 1024x768... and when i go to change it it only gives me 800x600
[05:14] <bradley_> argg
[05:14] <valehru> sudo chmod -R valehru:valehru /media/backup

[05:15] <valehru> thx
[05:15] <flapane> what could it be?
[05:15] <flapane> i tried installing
[05:15] <LazySod> |lostbyte|, if you use kubuntu (kde) instead of ubuntu (gnome) you might be better of in #kubuntu
[05:15] <flapane> pixmap engine but
[05:15] <flapane> no lucky...
[05:15] <LinuxJones> :)
[05:15] <valehru> working now...thx guys
[05:15] <trnc> so how do i find the exact sources for my kernel?  2.6.12-9-386
[05:15] <LinuxJones> valehru: have fun
[05:15] <|lostbyte|> :)
[05:15] <holycow> |lostbyte|, oh you use kde? sorry can't help there bro, this is ubunut, u buntu uses gnome not kde.  #kubuntu is more approprieate
[05:15] <flapane> trnc kernel.org?
[05:15] <trnc> erm ok
[05:16] <|lostbyte|> LazySod: I was wanting a more console way of doing it ?
[05:16] <bradley__> any ideas on how to add a higher resolution to the drop down menu?  I know i can run 1024x768 because that was my default before my xserver wouldn't load, but now i can only choose 800x600 or lower...

[05:26] <theorem> _jason: gcc-3.4 like that or gcc-3.4.6
[05:26] <thug_> add. /dev/sda1      /      ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1 to fstab and then sudo mount -a tells me  wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
[05:27] <scapor> ubuntu most linux ppl would say "stfu n00b" and make you disgusted of linux as a whole because they want to be the only ones to enjoy it ... but I say "Hi :)"
[05:27] <Oceansblue> I have 1024x768 and 800x600 screen modes - how do I change modes when running?
[05:27] <hastesaver> scapor, stfu liar! ;)
[05:27] <daryl> Could someone direct me to a Cedega install howto for noobs?  : )
[05:27] <thug_> even if i only do /dev/sda1       /mnt/hard1      ext3    defaults        0       2  give me the same error what am i doing wrong ?
[05:27] <Bilange> ctrl+alt+Plus Sign (in the keypad section)
[05:27] <holycow> scapor, not true
[05:27] <scapor> hastesaver: truth can be harsh, right ? :)
[05:27] <Bilange> Oceansblue: ctrl+alt+Plus Sign (in the keypad section)
[05:28] <Oceansblue> thank you!
[05:28] <holycow> scapor, not people that endup in the rtfm language are just sick of noobs not googling even the most basic stuff
[05:28] <hastesaver> scapor, I said "hi" to him too (over /msg)
[05:28] <scapor> holycow: stfu n00b :p
[05:28] <Bilange> Oceansblue: theres also ctrl+alt+Minus Sign to lower it
[05:28] <hastesaver> !tell daryl about cedega
[05:28] <holycow> instead a help channel ends up being littlemore than a bitch fest and a chat excuse for 4 year olds
[05:28] <Oceansblue> I am on a laptop
[05:28] <freewoody> Hello
[05:28] <freewoody> I am using Squid
[05:28] <ompaul> scapor, tone it down thanks
[05:28] <scapor> ompaul: what are you up to ???
[05:29] <freewoody> Where can I get the whole list of porn sites to block in Squid ?
[05:29] <scapor> ompaul: this is just absurd, don't you think so ?
[05:29] <ompaul> no I think your out of order and I have your attention,
[05:29] <scapor> ompaul: please, get a hobby :|
[05:29] <ompaul> okay
[05:29] <Bilange> daryl: im not sure where ubotu sends you, but theres http://winecvs.linux-gamers.net/index.php/Main_Page that helped me
[05:29] <scapor> ompaul: out of order ?
[05:30] <lsuactiafner> my pc's internal speaker is beeping continuasly
[05:30] <lsuactiafner> any way i can stop it but for opening the case and pulling the wires?
[05:30] <freewoody> Is there any program which can list porn sites ?
[05:30] <hastesaver> daryl, did that help?
[05:30] <scapor> lsuactiafner: sure you don't have any key pressed all the time ?
[05:30] <holycow> lsuactiafner, i had that issue once, the only way to solve it was to change mobo :/ i wish i had another answer
[05:31] <lsuactiafner> scapor : dont have a key pressed
[05:31] <lsuactiafner> it didnt use to give errors
[05:31] <whyami> lsuactiafner what if you added the pc speaker driver to the list of blacklisted modules? You loose the speaker but maybe you don't care?
[05:31] <lsuactiafner> just did apt-get update to new x11 after the security bug and now its beeping
[05:31] <lsuactiafner> i dont care
[05:31] <holycow> whyami, thats not a bad idea infact :)
[05:31] <lsuactiafner> which modile is it?
[05:31] <freewoody> hello
[05:31] <scapor> lsuactiafner: did you do anything so it started ? wghen did it started ? since an upgade ?
[05:31] <hastesaver> lsuactiafner, you can turn it off in one of the volume control things -- try clicking on the volume icon, etc (you could also try alsamixer in the terminal if that's installed)
[05:31] <freewoody> Can anybody help with SQuid
[05:32] <anto9us> lsuactiafner, I had that issue on a server once when one of its processor fans had died
[05:32] <bbrazil> freewoody: what's your problem?
[05:32] <ompaul> freewoody, you can't get that info out of squid, thats what it says in their FAQ
[05:32] <lsuactiafner> scapor : since upgrade of x11 . running ubuntu
[05:32] <scapor> ompaul: please, feel free to kick me, it would make you look more powerfull after all
[05:32] <freewoody> Well I can't figure out how to block some 30000 porn sites in squid
[05:33] <whyami> lsuactiafner: so if you don't run x (say you boot into console) does it still beep?
[05:33] <freewoody> I need to filter porn sites completely, can somebody help with that
[05:33] <daryl> hastesaver:  coudl you point me to a howto that works with CVS version of cedega?  I read that page you gave me, but its a bit difficult for me to understand. i'm very new
[05:33] <holycow> freewoody, theres a lot more than that out there :)
[05:33] <bbrazil> freewoody: you could do a whitelist based system
[05:33] <scapor> freewoody: there are freely available lists of sites you want to block.  Use google.
[05:33] <holycow> freewoody,  i don't know tho, squid ison my todo listtoo
[05:33] <hastesaver> daryl, it also points to the channel #cedega, I'm sure there are more experienced people there
[05:33] <daryl> thanks hastesaver
[05:33] <freewoody> Well I want to get rid of porn sites in my district
[05:33] <ompaul> freewoody, read the faq it will show you lots and lots of stuff, as will dans guardian called RBLs
[05:34] <scapor> freewoody: youcould try a chinese proxy ;)
[05:34] <lsuactiafner> let me go kill x
[05:34] <lsuactiafner> pc is in another room
[05:34] <freewoody> Isn't there any program which can get a list of porn sites
[05:34] <ompaul> freewoody, google your offtopic leave it alone thanks
[05:34] <Dr_Willis> google is your friend..
[05:34] <lsuactiafner> dansguardian plugin to squi
[05:34] <freewoody> Please help me
[05:35] <hastesaver> freewoody, please search for it on Google
[05:35] <scapor> http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&pwst=1&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=squid+porn+filter&spell=1
[05:35] <thug_> can nayone please help me to add the mount command to fstab ?
[05:35] <ubuntu> OMFG ubuntu is AWSOME, I love linux, jus had to day it.... lol
[05:35] <holycow> woot!
[05:35] <holycow> well glad ya like it
[05:35] <thug_> manually works fine mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/hard1
[05:36] <mz111> was the built firefox update system disabled in the firefox package
[05:36] <mz111> for dapper
[05:36] <holycow> firefox update?
[05:36] <holycow> what do you mean?
[05:36] <holycow> this isn't windows you know
[05:36] <thug_> its ext3 filesystem type ...
[05:36] <holycow> apps don't update them selves
[05:36] <holycow> thats the job of the packaging mechanism,in our case dpkg
[05:36] <mz111> holycow: firefox has a built in updator for all platforms
[05:37] <holycow> mz111, this isn't windows bro :)
[05:37] <freewoody> Well I need to get a list of porn sites to block
[05:37] <scapor> ompaul: ubuntu used "OMFG", shouldn't you kick his ass ?
[05:37] <holycow> apps don't update them selves,the packaging system does that
[05:37] <scapor> freewoody: search google, noone's gonna hold your hand
[05:37] <whyami> your name is freewoody and we are supposed to believe you want a list of pornsights to...block???
[05:37] <mz111> holycow: that is a bad reason to disable features in software
[05:37] <holycow> no dude, its not a bad reason
[05:37] <holycow> its a great reason
[05:37] <holycow> apps should never update them selves
[05:38] <freewoody> Yes porn is eating all my bandwidth
[05:38] <freewoody> I need that porn list urgently
[05:38] <mz111> holycow: i agree, they should update when I tell them to
[05:38] <holycow> that approach is one of the many reasons windows is such an infested pool of spyware and viruses
[05:38] <thug_> !mplayer
[05:38] <ubotu> mplayer is, like, totally, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MplayerInstallHowto  For compiling, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31061
[05:38] <holycow> mz111, no they should be updated by the package manager
[05:38] <holycow> when you tell the package manager to
[05:38] <Kr0ntab> thug_, this should do it...      /dev/sda1  /mnt/hard1  ext3  defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
[05:39] <holycow> an app has no business being its own package manger in other words
[05:39] <holycow> thats pure insanity
[05:39] <ubuntu> does anyone know how to change the windowlist bg colour on control pannels?
[05:39] <holycow> ubuntu, right click on panel, properties
[05:39] <Kr0ntab> thug_, place that in yer fstab file...  it will mount on boot... or with a "sudo mount -a"
[05:39] <ubuntu> no, for the open window buttons
[05:40] <ubuntu> eg. xchat
[05:40] <thug_> Kr0ntab it doesnt work i tryed already
[05:40] <valehru> Quick question.....could I use VMWare to play games such as Half LIfe?
[05:40] <whyami> how can I transport a Linux disk image as a file?
[05:40] <thug_> Kr0ntab sudo mount -a tryed also to see if the mount command in fstab its right and it not
[05:40] <mz111> valehru: possibly, at about .001fps
[05:40] <holycow> valehru, last time i checked windows as client on vmware couldn't run ogl or any type of 3d accelaration
[05:40] <valehru> haha
[05:41] <valehru> bugger
[05:41] <valehru> thx
[05:41] <Kr0ntab> thug_, fstab does not need the mount command to be in there.
[05:41] <mz111> valehru: look into wine-x
[05:41] <valehru> yeah
[05:41] <theorem> _jason: export CC=gcc-3.4 did not work
[05:41] <mz111> mz111: or winx, or something with a similar name
[05:41] <kevor> mz111: that's called Cedega now ;)
[05:41] <holycow> or that games emulator ... whats it called again
[05:41] <valehru> transgaming seems to be the only solution
[05:41] <valehru> cedega
[05:41] <Kr0ntab> nvmd
[05:41] <holycow> transgaming
[05:41] <_jason> theorem: how did you go about downgrading to gcc-3.4?
[05:41] <holycow> thats it
[05:41] <eXistenZ> How can I know my cpu's temperature?
[05:41] <thug_> Kr0ntab i just add /dev/sda1  /mnt/hard1  ext3  defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 in fstab i know ... then sudo mount -a and it doesnt work
[05:42] <whyami> eXistenZ: I think ksensors might tell you this?
[05:42] <thug_> Kr0ntab mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
[05:42] <thug_> 
[05:42] <mz111> _jason: downgrading, yuo can just install both, and do an export CC=gcc-3.4
[05:42] <valehru> eXistenZ, put a thermometer to the core of the cpu
[05:42] <eXistenZ> valehru, You're fucking funny.
[05:42] <_jason> !language
[05:42] <ubotu> Please watch your language. We try to be nice and help but some of us don't like to see such things on our screen.
[05:42] <valehru> well thats one way....watch the language
[05:42] <ompaul> eXistenZ, lanugage - leave it at the door we want a G rated channel
[05:42] <kevor> eXistenZ: i use gkrellm to monitor that
[05:43] <eXistenZ> he's trying to be funny on my account
[05:43] <theorem> _jason: i didnt downgrade
[05:43] <eXistenZ> anyways
[05:43] <_jason> theorem: did you just install gcc-3.4 from the repositories?
[05:43] <theorem> _jason: i just downloaded version 3.4.6 then unpacked it
[05:43] <holycow> no you set him up perfectly
[05:43] <theorem> _jason: no
[05:43] <holycow> everyone in this room was thinking the same line, he just said it
[05:43] <eXistenZ> whyami, do you have klibs installed?
[05:43] <holycow> !temperature
[05:43] <ubotu> holycow: Syntax error in line 1. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[05:43] <holycow> !temp
[05:43] <ubotu> holycow: What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[05:44] <_jason> theorem: maybe you will have better luck if you use gcc-3.4 from the repositories
[05:44] <holycow> *hmmm*
[05:44] <theorem> _jason: i configured & made with ver 4
[05:44] <holycow> eXistenZ, search the wiki on how to get temp support for your mobo
[05:44] <ompaul> lm-senors are of use
[05:44] <ompaul> holycow, ^^
[05:44] <holycow> it can be fairly complicated, and a little beyond this channel to help with thqat
[05:44] <eXistenZ> I got lm-sensors installed here
[05:44] <hastesaver> holycow, you might be interested to know that the !firefox1.5 page suggests using the auto-update mechanism of firefox. (Oh, and please don't change that page, it's fine ;)
[05:45] <holycow> hastesaver, i'm not interested actually
[05:45] <holycow> hastesaver, this is unix, this is an environment where we have the freedom to make the right sorts of decisions
[05:45] <bbrazil> eXistenZ: then run sudo sensors-detect
[05:45] <eXistenZ> bbrazil, I did that too :)
[05:45] <holycow> hastesaver, anyone worth their salt will tell you that letting apps be their own package managers is the stupidest idea ever
[05:45] <holycow> i'mnot being mean, i mean that nicely
[05:45] <holycow> its a dumb idea
[05:46] <whyami> eXistenZ: yes I do.
[05:46] <delmar> hey everyone. i just plugged in an external usb drive... i noticed the usb-storage modules load etc, but not much else is happening.. should i expect to find it on like.. /dev/sdX ?
[05:46] <holycow> it is one of the key reasons windows is such a hole frankly.
[05:46] <hastesaver> holycow, yes of course, but when you want apps newer than the ones available in packages, you need to make compromises :)
[05:46] <ompaul> hastesaver, it is crazy to allow an application change by itself, reason, it can break other things in new and interesting ways
[05:46] <flapane> i ca't see accents on xchat
[05:46] <flapane> do i have to change utf coding?
[05:46] <holycow> hastesaver, the neat thing is packaging apps for debina is fairly trivial too if you need to do it your self, thus upgrades are trivial even if not in repos
[05:46] <flapane> *can't
[05:47] <mz111> delmar look in /media
[05:47] <hastesaver> ok, I agree
[05:47] <holycow> hastesaver, when you want apps newer than repos, then you learn how to become a system administrator and do it properly
[05:47] <delmar> mz111, first place i looked. nothing
[05:47] <eXistenZ> whyami, what's your cpu's temp?
[05:47] <ferronica> room help me please
[05:47] <ferronica> if u can
[05:47] <ferronica> 'manually help
[05:47] <holycow> !ask
[05:47] <ubotu> Just ask. Questions in the channel should be specific, informative, complete, concise and on-topic. Information like hardware make, model and output of commands that you used pasted onto http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org is important.
[05:47] <flapane> noone?
[05:47] <holycow> ferronica, just ask
[05:48] <ompaul> eXistenZ,  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SensorInstallHowto
[05:48] <ckoul> Hi, I had a problem installing a parallel printer in Dapper and noticed that the 'lp' module isn't loaded automatically (kernel 2.16.21). Can you confirm it?
[05:48] <eXistenZ> ompaul, it works now
[05:48] <eXistenZ> ompaul, I installed everything
[05:48] <hastesaver> ckoul, #ubuntu+1 for dapper
[05:48] <ompaul> Dapper is in the #ubuntu+1 channel
[05:48] <ckoul> Sorry..
[05:48] <ompaul> eXistenZ, if I may suggest, that actually helps lots :-)
[05:48] <ferronica> how to install FF1.5, i hav saved it on my desktop, and please dont send me pm of that ROBOT
[05:48] <ferronica> please
[05:48] <eXistenZ> ompaul, thank you so much
[05:48] <ferronica> i am very newbie
[05:49] <eXistenZ> ompaul, what's your cpu temp btw?
[05:49] <ferronica> very very new
[05:49] <ompaul> eXistenZ, :-) don't run it
[05:49] <ferronica> dont know abot linux
[05:49] <holycow> ferronica, don't install it, extract it and just double click on the binary
[05:49] <holycow> it will run just like that
[05:49] <eXistenZ> ah
[05:49] <eXistenZ> I just want to compare my temp
[05:49] <holycow> ferronica, wait for dapper to be released it will have 1.5 in it properly packaged
[05:49] <ompaul> ferronica, you have been told eariler for at least an hour how to do that
[05:49] <whyami> eXistenZ: uggh. kSensors isn't tell me my CPU temp. Sorry. I know my AMD processor in the other room runs between 45 and 50 Celcius.
[05:49] <delmar> OK i just plugged in a different type of external usb drive, and still nothing is happening.
[05:49] <ferronica> i tried many times
[05:50] <ferronica> but no success
[05:50] <eXistenZ> whyami, mine is 42 now
[05:50] <farous> any recommendations for eclipse python extension?
[05:50] <hastesaver> ferronica, what's wrong with the PM ubotu sends?
[05:50] <Ayabara> can someone help me out with wifi on my Inspiron 6000?
[05:50] <ferronica> will u tell me step wise
[05:50] <hastesaver> ferronica, that page *does* explain it stepwise
[05:50] <lsuactiafner> whats the max temp of a athlonxp?
[05:51] <whyami> lsuactiafner: if I remember right it's about 90 celcius, but we'd have to look up the specs to be sure.
[05:51] <ferronica> whatever ubotu sends only for advanced user not for us, who has just started using linux
[05:51] <bbrazil> lsuactiafner: ~105 and it fries
[05:51] <holycow> ferronica, not really, most of the instructions are fairly trivial.  its NEVER possible to put ALL of the knowledge required in every single tutorial
[05:52] <lsuactiafner> whyami bbrazil and 56C is bad?
[05:52] <holycow> ferronica, part of learning a new tool is discovering what skills you don't have and googling them
[05:52] <bbrazil> lsuactiafner: it's okay
[05:52] <ferronica> firefox-1.5.0.3.tar.gz<<<--------now tell me what format is that not winzip not winrar
[05:52] <lsuactiafner> thanks
[05:52] <holycow> so i can understand  your frutration sometimes but its your responsibility to educate your self
[05:52] <farous> lsuactiafner: mhy old notebook used to run up to 70. 50 was the norm
[05:52] <aeolus> 90c is the hottest you'll probably want to run it, but to be on the safe side set your mobo's alarm between 70c and 90c
[05:52] <ompaul> ferronica, okay, let me explain this to you, your firefox has been patched, this is not windows we do not always need to be running the latest package, if you can't manage it ask someone you know who uses linux to help you, seriously your not getting this
[05:52] <holycow> ferronica, right click on file and select extract
[05:53] <ferronica> ok
[05:53] <holycow> ompaul, ah i see the prob, i shut up now
[05:53] <ompaul> ferronica, is english your native language?
[05:53] <ferronica> yes english
[05:53] <wizzlefish> I'm trying to install gftp, but when I try installing gftp-common, it says it requires gftp-gtk, and when I try install gftp-gtk, it requires gftp-common. Is there any way to install it?
[05:53] <lsuactiafner> mine is overclocked byt 106% and it runs @ 51C
[05:53] <lsuactiafner> under full load
[05:54] <ferronica> i hav extracted on desktop
[05:54] <lsuactiafner> which is weird considering he has a better heat sink and only an athlonxp
[05:54] <lsuactiafner> and i got athlon3200
[05:54] <hastesaver> ferronica, the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion are very detailed. Every single step is explained there.
[05:54] <holycow> wow, amazing
[05:55] <farous> lsuactiafner: athalon are known to run hotter than centrino
[05:55] <farous> so its normal
[05:55] <FaithX> I am looking for some ERP software for a production manufacture company, any suggestions?
[05:55] <ferronica> no not again
[05:55] <bbrazil> FaithX: erp?
[05:55] <holycow> FaithX, google.com please
[05:55] <holycow> wrong channel
[05:55] <holycow> tons of software, none of it in repos
[05:55] <hastesaver> ferronica, suit yourself. Instructions cannot get more detailed than that.
[05:55] <aeolus> I'm looking for a good server naming scheme, any ideas?
[05:55] <farous> FaithX: google for i do not think they are in the repos this is too specific
[05:55] <holycow> all of it we based requiring knowledge of at minimum apache/php, but also tomcat an djava
[05:55] <ompaul> ferronica, we do not have anything better, you may need to get some local assistance from someone, you have to start somewhere
[05:56] <bbrazil> aeolus: there's 2 rfcs on the matter
[05:56] <hastesaver> ferronica, if there is a particular step in those instructions that you do not understand, you can ask here and we will try to help. If you refuse to follow them entirely, there is nothing we can do
[05:56] <holycow> hastesaver, i believe its called english
[05:57] <holycow> ferronica, i don't mean to be mean, i strongly urge you to go back to windows or get a mac
[05:57] <holycow> ferronica, you don't seem to be ready to 'unlearn' a lot of things
[05:57] <holycow> or learn to learn
[05:57] <aeolus> bbrazil: What RFCs are they so i may read them?
[05:58] <ferronica> sudo tar -C /opt -x -z -v -f firefox-1.5.0.2.tar.gz
[05:58] <bbrazil> aeolus: good question ;). One at least was an april the 1st
[05:58] <ferronica> i typed this one on terminal
[05:58] <thug_> ferronica what are you tying to do ?
[05:58] <ferronica> i hav saved it on desktop
[05:58] <ferronica> i wanna install firefox 1.5
[05:59] <ferronica> as we do in windows...
[05:59] <mz111> ferronica: first type "cd Desktop"
[05:59] <thug_> ferronica mozilla-firefox comes with ubuntu no need to install it after
[05:59] <mz111> thug_: an ancient version
[05:59] <thug_> ferronica well this aint windows
[05:59] <ompaul> mz111, its patched
[05:59] <thug_> mz111 heh
[05:59] <ferronica> but that one is old
[05:59] <ferronica> new is 1.5
[06:00] <thug_> ferronica well you are going to far for the first time ...
[06:00] <delmar> ffs. booting to windows so i can access my usb drives. bbl. grrrrr
[06:00] <thug_> ferronica why not playing with the system a bit first ?
[06:01] <ircbrowser99> <-- late to the table here -- ferronica: what do you need in firefoxf 1.5 that you can't do with the firefox that came with breezy?
[06:01] <ferronica> if something gose wrong then lol
[06:01] <ferronica> it is slow
[06:01] <phoenixbyrd> wow, not even I had this much trouble with my first time using linux o.0
[06:01] <thug_> ferronica there is nothing you can do wrong as long as you are not root
[06:01] <ircbrowser99> ferronica: 1.5 won't likely be any faster... probably slower
[06:01] <wizzlefish> I'm trying to install gftp, but when I try installing gftp-common, it says it requires gftp-gtk, and when I try install gftp-gtk, it requires gftp-common. Is there any way to install it?
[06:01] <OMITT3D> quit
[06:02] <thug_> ferronica its not slow ... the new one it wouldnt be faster
[06:02] <ompaul> ferronica, where are you?
[06:02] <holycow> ferronica, just go back to windows, forget linux
[06:02] <ferronica> hey i hav extrcted it in desktop and when i opened and clicked one icon it runs
[06:02] <holycow> ferronica, you will never be happy here
[06:02] <Tomcat_> wizzlefish: Install both at the same time?
[06:02] <thug_> ferronica try to launch it from the application menu
[06:02] <jmoncayo> hey i have ubuntu warty installed in my box, i have the cd for brezee, do i need to reinstall everything i have or how can i upgrade to breezee
[06:02] <ferronica> holycow---why???
[06:02] <phoenixbyrd> ferronica, why are you using linux anyways?
[06:02] <ferronica> holycow: r u happy???
[06:02] <Tomcat_> jmoncayo: You need to upgrade to hoary first. Or reinstall.
[06:02] <holycow> you clearly have no capacity to learn
[06:03] <hastesaver> holycow, stop; I'm sure his/her sufferring trying to learn Linux is nowhere close to the sufferring involved in using Windows :-)
[06:03] <bigjaws> Hey... Noob question... I just apt-get the primer... but can't see where to view the articles... any clue?
[06:03] <mz111> jmoncayo: edit /et/apt/sources.list
[06:03] <ferronica> just to explore it
[06:03] <ompaul> holycow, leave it
[06:03] <mz111> jmoncayo: replace warty with breezy
[06:03] <ferronica> not any specific reason
[06:03] <holycow> hastesaver, i wont, its wrong to insist that people should use linux when clearly a better solution exists
[06:03] <mz111> jmoncayo: and apt-get update, apt-get upgrade
[06:03] <holycow> some people are born to be mac, some windows, cest la vie
[06:03] <phoenixbyrd> ferronica, go to this site http://easylinuxguide.com/
[06:04] <mz111> jmoncayo: don't blame me if you break your system
[06:04] <valehru> using dpkg how can I force a deb file to install if im on 64 bit arch and the file is 32
[06:04] <valehru> dpkg: error processing cedega-small_5.1_i386.deb (--install):
[06:04] <valehru>  package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
[06:04] <mz111> jmoncayo: i never tried to upgrade from warty to breezy,
[06:04] <ircbrowser99> slamming alternate technology and talking down to users ain't constructive imho
[06:04] <farous> ferronica: you can wait for dapper if you need the latest software
[06:04] <farous> it is just around the corner
[06:05] <hastesaver> ferronica, you must become more confident; stop thinking of yourself as a newbie. Maybe you should also accept "instructions meant for advanced users" and try following them as best as you can :)
[06:05] <kenzi> Guys, how can i share my internet ?
[06:05] <jmoncayo> mz111, does it work? have you done it?
[06:05] <bbrazil> kenzi: home network with multiple systems and one internet conection?
[06:05] <holycow> kenzi, inall honesty the easiest way is to buy a router
[06:05] <kenzi> bbrazil,  yes
[06:05] <mz111> mz111: i used that approach to upgrade from breezy to dapper, without much trouble
[06:05] <ompaul> ferronica, so explore it, the top panel has a little red and white icon, click it it will give you more information than you can read in a week, that is how you will really learn this stuff
[06:05] <holycow> kenzi, learning how to turn your linux box into one is not that easy
[06:05] <bbrazil> kenzi: just the web, or everything?
[06:06] <kenzi> holycow i have a switch ;P
[06:06] <jmoncayo> mz111, well hope it works
[06:06] <jmoncayo> mz111, is dapper stable yet?
[06:06] <holycow> kenzi, that wont work, just get a router
[06:06] <mz111> jmoncayo: do you have /home on a seperate partition from /
[06:06] <holycow> kenzi, it will save you headaches and us hours of debugging silly little things
[06:06] <Riddick> kenzi: get a linksys router   they work great
[06:06] <jmoncayo> mz111, i dont care lossing my stuff i just want to upgrade to breezy
[06:06] <zero-1> how can i login  to ubuntu as root?
[06:06] <ferronica> after-- cddesktop
[06:06] <kenzi> ok
[06:07] <mz111> jmoncayo: I would go straight for the dapper beta
[06:07] <jmoncayo> zero-1, sudo su -
[06:07] <zero-1> but it never asked me to setup a password
[06:07] <holycow> what mz111 said ... the beta is pretty good
[06:07] <ferronica> why u guys using linux
[06:07] <jmoncayo> zero-1, sudo su -; passwd
[06:07] <zero-1> ok
[06:07] <zero-1> ill try it
[06:07] <ompaul> zero-1, no
[06:07] <mz111> holycow: as long as you have an internet connection that can handle endless updates
[06:07] <farous> zero-1: you do not need it
[06:08] <holycow> i personally use it because i believe in freedom, and refuse to give multinationals a milimetre
[06:08] <farous> tell zero-1 about sudo
[06:08] <ompaul> zero-1, do this read wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo that will help more
[06:08] <jmoncayo> zero-1, i mean first sudo su -
[06:08] <mz111> holycow: it is generally best to install from a cd
[06:08] <ircbrowser99> ferronica: for the learning experience
[06:08] <bbrazil> kenzi: I'll be back to you in a sec
[06:08] <ompaul> jmoncayo, you do not need root on one ubuntu installation
[06:08] <phoenixbyrd> ferronica, I got sick of windows not working right so I switched to linux ... so far everyhing I throw at it works right away
[06:08] <jmoncayo> zero-1, then when you are root passwd it worked for me
[06:08] <ferronica> what windows u use
[06:08] <holycow> ferronica, i also use it because it is an incredibly rich,sophisticated and sane computing envrionment as well as having some serious implications for democracy
[06:08] <holycow> :)
[06:08] <farous> ferronica: for the free software ;)
[06:08] <ompaul> jmoncayo, or a hundred for that matter :-)
[06:08] <farous> and stability
[06:08] <jmoncayo> ompaul, why is that?
[06:08] <holycow> mz111, as i found out during my dapper dist upgrade, way too many things to clean up
[06:09] <ferronica> buy Xp then u can doo anything
[06:09] <holycow> mz111, i'd like to see eventually a checkbox that lets you wipe all settings but keep your home dir (minus . files)
[06:09] <phoenixbyrd> XP is shit
[06:09] <phoenixbyrd> all windows is shit
[06:09] <mz111> holycow: I learned a long time ago to keep a seperate /home partition
[06:09] <holycow> ferronica, that is the stupidest statement ever
[06:09] <farous> free as in freedom not cheaper
[06:09] <holycow> ferronica, you clearly don't know you are in a jail then
[06:10] <ompaul> jmoncayo, because we use sudo, read the web page at wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo we give people that in place of having them with root passwords then they loose them and rescue mode gives grief and no life CD just don't go there - give them the link cos that is how we do things here thanks
[06:10] <grogoreo> hi
[06:10] <holycow> mz111, heh, indeed i'm starting to do that too now *nod* right same thing
[06:10] <hastesaver> ferronica, because Linux is actually easier to use, once you've learnt a few things :)
[06:10] <ferronica> if u buy legal copy of Xp no problem i hav legal copy
[06:10] <ompaul> !offtopic
[06:10] <ubotu> Non Ubuntu support related discussions may be carried out in the channel #ubuntu-offtopic. Editor/Language wars are welcome there!
[06:10] <mz111> holycow: don't forget to put /usr/local , and if necessary /var
[06:11] <holycow> ferronica, sounds like you don't care about freedom, just the convenience of being a consumer
[06:11] <holycow> ferronica, good luck with that
[06:11] <grogoreo> I want to try xfce, so if I install xubuntu-desktop will it affect gnome/ubuntu in anyway? Or is there a better way to try xfce but keep gnome?
[06:11] <mz111> ferronica: you might be happier with linspire
[06:12] <phoenixbyrd> freespire*
[06:12] <ferronica> why
[06:12] <thug_> i just compile mplayer from source and works fine ... now how will i get rid of it ?
[06:12] <ompaul> thug_, make uninstall
[06:12] <bbrazil> kenzi: sorry, was doing some on-site support. Setting up your box with NAT isn't that hard
[06:12] <mz111> ferronica: it is intended to be point and click
[06:12] <Ayabara> ubuntu mounts my ntfs drive automatically, but I get a permission denied when I try to view the contents. do I need to set some permissions or something?
[06:12] <ompaul> thug_, you need to check out checkinstall for making your own packages
[06:13] <ssinghi> can i install debian packages on a ubuntu system?
[06:13] <holycow> mz111, thats not exactly true
[06:13] <ompaul> ssinghi, no
[06:13] <holycow> mz111, hes trying to get the windows idiocy on linux
[06:13] <ssinghi> OK, thanks
[06:13] <thug_> ompaul i didnt make my own package i install it from source ...
[06:13] <holycow> mz111, as i've said earlier you guys should really jus tpoint him back to redmond
[06:13] <ompaul> thug_, I told you first how to get rid of it, then I told you a better way of doing things :-)
[06:14] <bbrazil> Ayabara: sudo nano /etc/fstab  add a umask=222 to the options
[06:14] <ferronica> in ubuntu which one is program folder???
[06:14] <phoenixbyrd> lol
[06:14] <ompaul> ferronica, this is not windows we don't have one of those
[06:14] <holycow> someone kick ferronica
[06:14] <mz111> holycow: I had to vommit after making that recomendation
[06:14] <bbrazil> ferronica: read the File Hierarchy Standard
[06:14] <netkid91> here here
[06:15] <Ayabara> bbrazil: I already have /dev/sda5       /media/sda5     ntfs    umask=0222 0 0
[06:15] <ferronica> i hav just extracted the firefox on dektop
[06:15] <netkid91> lol
[06:15] <netkid91> why?
[06:15] <bbrazil> Ayabara: sudo mount /dev/sda5 -o remount
[06:15] <ferronica> now i wanna place it on linux program folder
[06:15] <netkid91> lol
[06:15] <netkid91> did you download the 'source' code?
[06:15] <phoenixbyrd> ferronica, good luck with that
[06:15] <Ayabara> bbrazil: hmm. still not working
[06:15] <mz111> ferronica: http://www.freespire.org/
[06:16] <bbrazil> Ayabara: hmm, is it showing up as having the umask setting in "mount" /
[06:16] <holycow> thank you
[06:16] <Ayabara> is I go to system->administration->disks, I can browse the contents
[06:16] <g0dchild> Is there an application which can download gtk2 themes...Im sure i've heard of such a thing-
[06:16] <thug_> ompaul if im going to install mplayer again but this time from cvs will overwrite the old files ?
[06:17] <Ayabara> bbrazil: /dev/sda5 on /media/sda5 type ntfs (rw,umask=0222)
[06:17] <mz111> thug_: xine, is generally easier to compile
[06:17] <bbrazil> Ayabara: hold up a sec, why is it rw?
[06:17] <netkid91> g0dchild: http://art.gnome.org
[06:17] <cycus_zwisus> hello, where can i find outlook express for ubuntu?
[06:17] <mz111> thug_: If you don't have xine, I would suggest getting it first, and then start playing with mplayer
[06:17] <thug_> mz111 well i have already compiled mplayer and works fine ... i can play any file type ... now i just fond out that the version i compiled its old ;)
[06:17] <netkid91> OMG!
[06:17] <Ayabara> bbrazil: hmm. no idea. I haven't done anything to mount it
[06:18] <roostishaw> hello, can someone tell me how to make it so that when i tell my comp to shut down, it doesn't say "will now halt" and never turn off?
[06:18] <Ayabara> bbrazil: just had an icon on my desktop after installing ubuntu
[06:18] <netkid91> cycus_zwisus: OUTLOOK EXPRESS IS FOR WINDOWS!!
[06:18] <bbrazil> cycus_zwisus: you might want to try evolution
[06:18] <cycus_zwisus> netkid91: really????????????
[06:18] <netkid91> cycus_zwisus: Use evolution, under "Applications" -> Office
[06:18] <thug_> mz111 compiling mplayer aint hard ... i just dont know if i will get it from cvs and compile it it will overwrite the old files or not
[06:18] <cycus_zwisus> :D
[06:18] <haary> cycus_zwisus: Here: http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/
[06:18] <mz111> thug_: so you wan't to upgrade, but have no reason other than your version is "old"
[06:18] <kbrooks> !java
[06:18] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[06:18] <thug_> mz111 not really
[06:19] <kbrooks> !javadebs
[06:19] <bbrazil> Ayabara: hmm, try unmunting it and then mount it again. It should be picking up that setting
[06:19] <thug_> mz111 i just join the #mplayer channel and read the topic PRE7 IS VERY OLD, use CVS CHECKOUT
[06:19] <thug_> mz111 it says " very old " ;)) works really good here but ...it might be better to get the latest .. ?
[06:19] <mz111> thug_: that is probably so then don't have to answer questions about old releases
[06:19] <cycus_zwisus> i'm looking for nice and efficient download manager for linux, any suggestions?
[06:20] <holycow> d4x cycus_zwisus
[06:20] <unhappy> wget
[06:20] <mz111> thug_: don't mess with a good thing, unless you are like me and don't know betteer
[06:20] <holycow> its really great
[06:20] <cycus_zwisus> i've trien d4x but didn't like it
[06:20] <cycus_zwisus> tried*
[06:20] <holycow> thats all there is besides wget
[06:20] <cycus_zwisus> wget, does it have gui?
[06:20] <thug_> mz111 well see thats what im afraid for ... i might dont get it working from cvs :)
[06:20] <netkid91> cycus_zwisus: Nope
[06:20] <holycow> not last i checked
[06:20] <Ayabara> bbrazil: unmounting it and then mount -a did the trick
[06:20] <Ayabara> thanks a bunch
[06:20] <hastesaver> thug_, , the one I got from the repos is dev-CVS--4.0.2.
[06:20] <Ayabara> :-)
[06:20] <bbrazil> Ayabara: ah good. ntfs musn't like remount
[06:21] <netkid91> cycus_zwisus: Using the firefox download manager is pretty good
[06:21] <cycus_zwisus> opera's is much much better
[06:21] <g0dchild> can anyone help me with this rosetta software on launchpad? what if I want to submit a new language for translation- i've already signed in- but i cant create a new template for the language
[06:21] <Ayabara> bbrazil: only 99 things to do before my ubuntu is working like I want ;-)
[06:21] <holycow> cycus_zwisus, not really insisting or anything, just curious what you don't like about d4x?
[06:21] <thug_> hastesaver i had mplayer 586 and didnt work correctly
[06:21] <m6s> hi
[06:21] <m6s> I installed ubuntu amd64 just now, and I have a problem
[06:21] <bbrazil> Ayabara: for i in thing; do $i; done
[06:21] <netkid91> cycus_zwisus: Open source zealots will now attack you] 
[06:22] <m6s> I must start ubuntu without networking...
[06:22] <holycow> bbrazil, hehe
[06:22] <m6s> login as a user into X
[06:22] <m6s> then engage the eth0 interface
[06:22] <holycow> bbrazil, if i could only do that for my life
[06:22] <Ayabara> bbrazil: :-D
[06:22] <mz111> cycus_zwisus: you might try the DTA/down them all extension for firefox
[06:22] <holycow> :)
[06:22] <mz111> cycus_zwisus: search for wx-fastdownload
[06:22] <m6s> can anyone help me to solve it?
[06:23] <cycus_zwisus> holycow: it crashed every 5 minutes
[06:23] <Ayabara> should the Intel 2200bg card work out of the box with breezy?
[06:23] <bbrazil> m6s: what type of network card?
[06:23] <m6s> from nforce chipset
[06:23] <g0dchild> cycus_zwisus, - i am using opera 9.00 shared-qt someth....works like a charm
[06:23] <bbrazil> m6s: any errors on bootup?
[06:23] <cycus_zwisus> mz111: are you suer abiut the name of this app? google can't  find it
[06:23] <holycow> cycus_zwisus, you messed something up, i've had it installed on about 50 machines by now i guess ... it really doesn't crash ... just a suggestion to check your config thats all
[06:23] <m6s> let'me explain
[06:24] <mz111> cycus_zwisus: look for download tools on the firefox extension site
[06:24] <gymsmoke> me, too
[06:24] <m6s> When I FIRST got into gdm, I gave my initals to enter, and it complained about an errot to find my local pc hera.lan
[06:24] <m6s> I answered "Go on"
[06:24] <m6s> and did load up gnome, in the next reboot though, I had to turn down the networking capabilities
[06:24] <m6s> to login, and then rengage it
[06:25] <azeteg> I am going crazy here,  just installed Ubuntu here, and setup a tftpd server with inetd. now, for some reason I can only connect locally, but not from other machine - what could I have done wrong?
[06:25] <m6s> something with the gdm has to do and the local pc name
[06:25] <mz111> azeteg: you are probably behind a router and or firewall
[06:25] <thug_> does this work in ubuntu as well " where it says ./config make make install , just type "debian/rules binary" " ?
[06:25] <azeteg> no, this is directly with a switch to the ubuntu machine
[06:25] <bbrazil> m6s: can pastebin /etc/network/interfaces /etc/hosts /etc/hostname ?
[06:26] <m6s> ok
[06:26] <bbrazil> thug_: should do
[06:26] <mz111> azeteg: you did you connect locally, ex: "ftp://localhost", "ftp://127.0.01", ftp://named_host
[06:26] <azeteg> when I tcpdump on the interface of ubuntu machine, it says "ICMP 10.4.1.171 udp port 1037 unreachable"
[06:26] <thug_> azeteg no, this is directly with a switch to the ubuntu machine
[06:26] <thug_> bbrazil thug_: should do
[06:26] <thug_> wonders what
[06:27] <azeteg> I connected locally with "tftp localhost"
[06:27] <azeteg> and managed to transfer files
[06:27] <azeteg> but from this machine I'm on now - I get that error message in the tcpdump
[06:27] <m6s> You can check it at http://pastebin.com/703669
[06:28] <azeteg> its probably something really simple, but I'm so tired
[06:28] <holycow> azeteg, been there :) maybe sleeping on it will clear things up
[06:28] <holycow> hehe
[06:28] <bbrazil> m6s: your interface file should have an 'auto lo' line
[06:28] <m6s> auto lo?
[06:28] <azeteg> for some reason tftpd doesn't bind to the ip address / interface ?
[06:29] <m6s> what is that? And how do I add it, so not to mesh everything now?
[06:29] <bbrazil> m6s: just put it in after the current auto line
[06:29] <m6s> :-)
[06:30] <bbrazil> m6s: I'd also remove the 'hera' from the localhost line in /etc/hosts
[06:30] <iamcitizen> I need help installing drivers. I downloaded the linux drivers from SiS's site (http://www.sis.com/download) but I don't know how to install them. They are tar.gz'
[06:30] <m6s> whole line or the alias?
[06:30] <mz111> azeteg: does the machine have any other servers running?
[06:30] <bbrazil> m6s: just the alias
[06:31] <m6s> done :-)
[06:31] <bbrazil> m6s: well, try a reboot
[06:31] <holycow> iamcitizen, all their drivers are already in ubuntu
[06:31] <iamcitizen> I need help installing drivers. I downloaded the linux drivers from SiS's site (http://www.sis.com/download) but I don't know how to install them. They are tar.gz'
[06:31] <m6s> cross fingers
[06:31] <m6s> :-)
[06:31] <iamcitizen> how do i get to them, holycow
[06:32] <holycow> !restrictedmodules
[06:32] <ubotu> Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, holycow
[06:32] <holycow> *hmm*
[06:32] <holycow> !modules
[06:32] <ubotu> Some people juggle geese. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, holycow
[06:32] <holycow> iamcitizen, i think they are probably in the linux restricted modules packages, apt-cache search for them and install them
[06:33] <holycow> iamcitizen, what exactly are you trying to get running, there isn't much sis stuff that isn't autodetected upon install
[06:33] <Ayabara> I can't get sound from my mpeg files, while wmv and avi sounds ok. anyone got a hot tip?
[06:33] <iamcitizen> ok. how? i am new to ubuntu. i'm a mac guy.
[06:33] <holycow> !wmv
[06:33] <ubotu> somebody said restricted was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[06:33] <holycow> Ayabara, read that first, also
[06:33] <holycow> Ayabara, please understand that wmv is a proprietary and undocumented format
[06:33] <Ayabara> holycow: thought I had that covered. used Automatix to get started
[06:33] <ompaul> !automatix
[06:33] <ubotu> well, automatix is unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, such as !easyubuntu.
[06:34] <holycow> support for it is spotty at best and contains drm too
[06:34] <Ayabara> I know, that's why it looks crappy in my player I guess
[06:34] <holycow> Ayabara, *gasp* why would you do that to your self?
[06:34] <holycow> god no
[06:34] <holycow> heh
[06:34] <iamcitizen> holycow: my wireless drivers
[06:34] <Ayabara> oh my. you are scaring me
[06:34] <Ayabara> :-/
[06:34] <holycow> Ayabara, since you used automatix i refuse to help, please read up on the linkage provided
[06:34] <iamcitizen> and wired
[06:34] <holycow> :) don't be too scared, automatix should simply be avoided at all costs, its a stupendeously bad idea
[06:35] <holycow> iamcitizen, try the restricted modules drivers first
[06:35] <azeteg> mz111: only sshd
[06:35] <Ayabara> holycow: my linux install is fresh, so I could reinstall if it really is that bad
[06:35] <Ayabara> I'm just getting started here :-)
[06:35] <ompaul> Ayabara, reinstall and ehh don't use it again
[06:35] <holycow> Ayabara, no worries, mistakes happen
[06:35] <monomaniacpat> Can anyone tell me why I am unable to switch monitors from my CRT to LCD after ubuntu has finished loading?
[06:35] <Ayabara> holycow: no such thing a a free lunch, aye?
[06:36] <SadSalman> hello, i wanted to ask how do i install xmms :$ i downloaded its .rpm from xmms.org but dunno what to do next
[06:36] <Ayabara> ompaul: will do
[06:36] <mz111> azeteg: I really don't know what to tell you, i'm not a network, guy, but try another ftp server
[06:36] <ompaul> Ayabara, there is, you just have to pick the right cafe :)
[06:36] <holycow> Ayabara, well there is, but some ideas are just bad and sometimes their creators refuse to admit as much
[06:36] <holycow> ompaul, rofl, nice i'm using that
[06:36] <iamcitizen> how, holycow
[06:36] <mz111> monomaniacpat: are you using a laptop?
[06:36] <monomaniacpat> mz111: yes
[06:36] <iamcitizen> as i said before, i am new to linux
[06:36] <azeteg> I'm annoyed by it, and I'm going home
[06:37] <holycow> SadSalman, please use synaptic, there will be very little software that you need thats no in there
[06:37] <azeteg> for food
[06:37] <m6s> bbrazil, it worked
[06:37] <Ayabara> but overall I should avoid the "I'll install 47 apps to get you started" scripts?
[06:37] <m6s> :-)
[06:37] <m6s> But why this happened?
[06:37] <ompaul> holycow,  hehe, between you and g/fre calling me omguru I might actually believe that I know something ,,, :-)
[06:37] <mz111> monomaniacpat: do you know how to use the function keys to switch monitor outputs?
[06:37] <holycow> SadSalman, system / admin / synaptic
[06:37] <mustard5> Ayabara, well it can make troubleshooting an issue a bit difficult :)
[06:37] <m6s> I didn't expect a ...redhat approach of this install from ubuntu! ;-/
[06:37] <holycow> ompaul, :) indeed!
[06:37] <santi> i need some help installing rufus the bt client
[06:37] <bbrazil> m6s: you must have done something odd
[06:37] <monomaniacpat> mz111: yes, if I do that I get a load of static on the monitor I switch to. I can only switch during boot time
[06:37] <holycow> iamcitizen, system / admin / synaptic
[06:37] <santi> i downloaded the source, but i cant make it work
[06:37] <holycow> iamcitizen, search there for restricted modules and install
[06:38] <mike930> I have a problem, when I run gnome my kde apps have real big fonts. Can i change the font size on kde apps ran in gnome?
[06:38] <holycow> iamcitizen, as i mentioned to the other user, most things are already in the repos, there will be very little you need that wont be in there
[06:38] <SadSalman> W: Couldn't stat source package list http://pk.archive.ubuntu.com breezy/universe Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/pk.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_universe_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
[06:38] <SadSalman> :$
[06:38] <SadSalman> on synaptic
[06:38] <m6s> I don't believe it ;-) I just answered yes when It said that "Ok I can't find hera, but do you wish to login..." anyway, I like ubuntu and I will keep up jeengling it 8-)
[06:38] <ompaul> santi, I know nothing of that, but can point you to:  bittorrent is the BitTorrent FAQ is available at: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html
[06:38] <holycow> mike930, #kubuntu please, this is #ubuntu which uses gnome
[06:38] <m6s> Anyone knows how to install java for amd64?
[06:38] <Ayabara> mustard5: I can imagine :-)
[06:38] <m6s> a link perhaps?
[06:39] <m6s> so to get azureus
[06:39] <santi> but this is another client
[06:39] <holycow> !synaptic
[06:39] <ubotu> somebody said synaptic was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto
[06:39] <holycow> read that
[06:39] <ompaul> mike930, install more and more fonts then it stops what one I don't know
[06:39] <monomaniacpat> why do people put ! followed by names?
[06:39] <SadSalman> Thank you
[06:39] <mz111> monomaniacpat: Make sure to use a resolution and frame rate supported by both displays, some displays don't send the proper information for the xserver to adapt
[06:39] <hurax> m6s: if you want the sun java you have to download it from sun
[06:39] <maria> does anyone know a command from the command line to shut off my screen saver? if i open screen saver from prefrences my pc hangs, or if the screensaver starts, my pc hangs as well
[06:39] <mustard5> monomaniacpat, they are instructing the 'bot' to do something
[06:40] <monomaniacpat> mz111: I've done that it doesn't work
[06:40] <holycow> monomaniacpat, thats a command for the bot, it returns information about what you are asking: !topic is the format
[06:40] <m6s> ok
[06:40] <monomaniacpat> what can the bot do?
[06:40] <hurax> then install some wrapper packages to make a .deb out of it
[06:40] <_jason> !ubotu
[06:40] <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.
[06:40] <mustard5> monomaniacpat, the bot, ubotu knows all
[06:40] <ompaul> monomaniacpat, it is a bot and the ! triggers its command then it reads the word the word - it looks up a database and divulges the info, and that is much better than us doing the same stuff time and again
[06:41] <monomaniacpat> I see, interesting.
[06:41] <mz111> monomaniacpat: instead of rebooting, log out and do a ctrl+alt+backspace, it is not a good solution, but it is better than rebooting
[06:41] <holycow> monomaniacpat, it helps with keeping our sanity when everyone refuses to google the simplest things too :)
[06:41] <ompaul> !repeat
[06:41] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.  You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://www.ubuntuforums.org while you wait.
[06:42] <monomaniacpat> mz111: how do I log in again once I am in ctrl+alt+backspace
[06:42] <SadSalman> i dont see any help regarding error messages at synaptichowto wiki page.
[06:42] <ompaul> monomaniacpat, it gives you a prompt to do that at
[06:42] <bkw> Are there any options for centrino laptops in ubuntu, my fan is working constant which it shouldn't. It should only run when there's heavy load.
[06:42] <mz111> monomaniacpat: it should restart your x-server and return you to the login screen
[06:42] <SadSalman> can anyone help with this error: W: Couldn't stat source package list http://pk.archive.ubuntu.com breezy/multiverse Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/pk.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
[06:42] <g0dchild> !gnome
[06:42] <SadSalman> ?
[06:43] <monomaniacpat> Well, when I've pressed that combo before I enter my login and then get patrick@ubuntu prompt, like command line
[06:43] <g0dchild> is there a way to update to the most recent version of gnome?
[06:43] <mustard5> monomaniacpat, mines works a bit like that too :)
[06:43] <israel7> site downloads new ---> http://israel.275mb.com/index3.php
[06:43] <g0dchild> 2.14 to be more precise
[06:43] <_jason> g0dchild: only by using dapper
[06:43] <g0dchild> :(
[06:43] <mz111> monomaniacpat: , then try gdm, or startx
[06:43] <Tobi16> hi
[06:43] <monomaniacpat> OK, I'll give it a go... hang on.
[06:44] <g0dchild> _jason, is it safe to compile from source?
[06:44] <_jason> g0dchild: personally, I don't know, but it sounds risky
[06:44] <mz111> g0dchild: it is completely safe,
[06:45] <mz111> g0dchild: it might be unsafe to use the sources
[06:45] <ompaul> g0dchild, the answer is don't even try, get dapper if you really really want to do that
[06:45] <holycow> g0dchild, wait for dapper i guess?
[06:45] <Spitty> Dapper's pretty stable, now
[06:45] <ompaul> Spitty, but a right pain if you have a modem for updates
[06:45] <Spitty> oo, yeah
[06:45] <holycow> heh
[06:46] <Spitty> that stinks, sorry
[06:46] <holycow> ah look the sun is out
[06:46] <holycow> time to go to sleep
[06:46] <holycow> :)
[06:46] <g0dchild> yeah...but that is something i dont understand- how exactly is a DE dependent on the ubuntu release?
[06:46] <ompaul> Spitty, and given I have moved 5gigs of Ubuntu data today so far, would you guess that my modem is not dialup :-)
[06:46] <hurax> er, a release consists of packages, including gnome or kde
[06:46] <g0dchild> with most other distros (not intended to flame), we can compile from source (gentoo, for instance) without much hassle or upgrading to a new release isnt it?
[06:47] <mz111> g0dchild: that is not an accurate statement
[06:47] <hydrogen> gentoo is one of the only ones that can do that.
[06:47] <hurax> by compiling everything you lose the advantage of using a distribution
[06:47] <hydrogen> and pays for it in other ways
[06:47] <Spitty> Yeah, that would be a pretty safe guess... dialup would take something like, what, 3 weeks to do 5 gigs?
[06:47] <ompaul> g0dchild, packages verus source
[06:48] <ompaul> Spitty, well it is more than a CD a day
[06:48] <aLPHa_LeaK> you can get source packages if you wanted to...
[06:48] <Spitty> yeah, i was exaggerating a bit there
[06:48] <g0dchild> hydrogen, oh. I like source better- agreed, ubuntu is the most convinient when it comes to packages :) So, upgrading means that i could just download the CD, and upgrade without losing the existing packages?
[06:48] <wizzlefish> is there a way to get amaroK on Ubuntu without downloading all of KDE?
[06:48] <g0dchild> or do i need to reinstall them all over?
[06:49] <mz111> g0dchild: if you install from cd, yes!
[06:49] <hydrogen> wizzlefish: theoretically all you need is kdelibs, not sure if ubuntu packages are built that way or not
[06:50] <aLPHa_LeaK> wizzlefish, well you will need the kdelibs because of the gui
[06:50] <g0dchild> !dapper
[06:50] <ompaul> g0dchild, as long as you have not gone off and done lots of mad stuff from all sorts of repos you should be full of fun - and if your /home is seperate then I would go for fresh install leaving the home the same
[06:50] <ubotu> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support :)
[06:50] <mz111> g0dchild: if you use apt, sometimes
[06:50] <m6s> thank you people for your help! Bye!
[06:50] <hurax> there should be no need to download a cd for upgrading
[06:50] <daryl> I have installed several things, and I decided I dont' need them any more.  but I found them doing searches in the Synaptic Package Manager.  How can I see a list of just the things I have personally installed, so I can remove them?
[06:50] <ompaul> g0dchild, you don't have to but you can
[06:50] <Indo-Paradize> salut a tous
[06:50] <ompaul> !fr
[06:50] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[06:50] <mz111> g0dchild: you cann always install stuff in /usr/local, and rename the executables in /usr/bin
[06:50] <hurax> just edit the sources.list and do apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:51] <mz111> hurax: : that would not leave existing packages in place
[06:51] <mustard5> daryl, I think Synaptic keeps a history of packages installed in the menus
[06:51] <thug_> why channel PCm doesnt turn the sound down ?
[06:51] <thug_> the volume :)
[06:51] <g0dchild> mz111, yeah, think I'll settle for upgrading via apt- problem is bandwidth- the reason why i moved to ubuntu...thanks everyone for the help. Anything else I need to know, before I hook Dapper into meself?
[06:51] <SadSalman> man it rocks!
[06:51] <mz111> thug_: are you listening to a cd
[06:52] <thug_> mz111 nope
[06:52] <daryl> mustard5, how do i get to that?
[06:52] <aLPHa_LeaK> g0dchild, have fun ;)
[06:52] <thug_> mz111 files from hdd
[06:52] <mustard5> daryl, you could compile a list by hand and then uninstall them with one command line argument
[06:52] <mz111> thug_: what application?
[06:52] <thug_> xmms mplayer
[06:52] <mustard5> daryl, I think its in the first menu on synaptic
[06:52] <SadSalman> though i am on a limited bandwidth and these downloads are killing me BUT i like the way :D
[06:52] <thug_> do i need to set the output plugin ?
[06:52] <SadSalman> thug_ System -> admin -> synaptic
[06:53] <thug_> SadSalman and ?
[06:53] <mz111> thug_: that would be my suggestion, but i don't have mplayer, so can't be of much more help
[06:53] <thug_> install what ?
[06:53] <SadSalman> no u have already installed i thing
[06:53] <daryl> mustard5: thank you very much
[06:53] <SadSalman> think * sorry never mind :D
[06:54] <monomaniacpat> Well that didn't seem to work. using ctrl-alt-bkspc doesn't work when not logged in.
[06:54] <monomaniacpat> It refuses to stay at the prompt and keeps returning me to the login splash
[06:55] <aLPHa_LeaK> monomaniacpat, press alt+f2
[06:55] <aLPHa_LeaK> or something
[06:55] <mustard5> monomaniacpat, ctrl + alt + f1  to get to terminal...ctrl + alt + f7 to get to desktop ?
[06:55] <stpere> monomaniacpat, CTRL+ALT+F1 to go to console, CTRL+ALT+F7 to return to graphics
[06:56] <monomaniacpat> I'll try it....
[06:56] <mabus> Why does top say I'm using almost all of my gig of ram, when the tally of the programs it shows doesn't seem to ammount to much?
[06:56] <daryl> mustang5: when I uninstalled wine, it did not remove the .wine folder and its contents.  shoudl I manually remove it, or does thsi suggest I forgot to unisntall soemthing in wine properly?
[06:56] <mabus> And it goes pretty slow, too. And the cpu is only ever used up to like 20%
[06:56] <mustard5> mabus, a lot of the RAM linux uses is cache
[06:56] <wayne_> Ubuntu Breezy Badger 5.1 soars with the eagles.
[06:56] <sorcre> How do I exit the X window enviroment to install my Nvidia drivers?
[06:56] <ompaul> mabus, check out why it may cache data
[06:57] <daryl> er, sorry I meant mustard5
[06:57] <Dr_Willis> !nvidia
[06:57] <ubotu> Help about installing the nVidia drivers on Ubuntu can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[06:57] <ompaul> wayne_, 5.10 year five month ten :-)
[06:57] <mabus> ompaul: how
[06:57] <monomaniacpat> well mustard5, stpere that didn't do anything at all
[06:57] <sorcre> Thanks Dr_willis
[06:57] <mustard5> monomaniacpat, did you end up at a command line with ctrl + alt + f1 ?
[06:57] <monomaniacpat> no, nothing happened
[06:57] <ompaul> mabus, not your specific machine, just a $linux box hang on I'll get you a useful url
[06:58] <pdamoc> I've just installed the latest Dapper... but I cannot install java...
[06:58] <mustard5> monomaniacpat, thats most strange :)
[06:58] <pdamoc> java-package has no candidate
[06:58] <daryl> mustard5: when I uninstalled wine, it did not remove the .wine folder and its contents.  shoudl I manually remove it, or does thsi suggest I forgot to unisntall soemthing in wine properly?
[06:58] <thug_> !sound
[06:58] <ubotu> Help to fix issues with sound can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems or http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundProblemsHoary
[06:58] <stpere> monomaniacpat, make sure you have f-locked your keyboard if you have an internet/multimedia keyboard..
[06:58] <monomaniacpat> f-locked?
[06:59] <stpere> monomaniacpat, well.. on my keyboard, I have a numlock like key to lock my f1.. f12 keys to that role
[06:59] <stpere> rather than mail, undo, redo, ...
[06:59] <mustard5> daryl, usuallly to remove configuration you would use a 'purge' option in command line, or 'remove completely' in Synaptic, but wine would be a special case I think..manual removal
[07:00] <daryl> mustard5: thank you very much!
[07:00] <stpere> monomaniacpat, your keyboard probably doesn't have this option or you would know about it
[07:00] <wayne_> Thx_ompaul
[07:00] <vdepizzol_> how I configure my 6-button mouse?
[07:01] <wiggieXpectsLess> did anybody ever have a problem with nautilus? i get this message
[07:01] <wiggieXpectsLess> The Application "nautilus" has quit unexpectedly.
[07:01] <wiggieXpectsLess> and when i try to restart i get the same message again
[07:01] <marcie> change
[07:01] <ompaul> mabus, this is not ideal but if you skim it it might give you some idea of what it is really at http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Linux-Init-HOWTO.html
[07:02] <marcie> ok i'm still learning...all this...how do i get to the off topic area
[07:02] <mabus> /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:02] <marcie> thanks
[07:02] <mabus> np
[07:02] <mabus> thanks ompaul
[07:02] <monomaniacpat> stpere: no, that worked, but I can't change the screens over, have the same problem as before. I'll try doing it while I'm logged out...
[07:03] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, doesnt sound good
[07:03] <wiggieXpectsLess> i removed it and installed it again
[07:03] <wiggieXpectsLess> i get the same thing
[07:03] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, you might have a look through the logs and see if you can see whats going on
[07:04] <wiggieXpectsLess> ok, how do i do that?
[07:04] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, I wonder which logs would be recording it though :)
[07:04] <SAM_theman> how do I install .deb files
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> !apt-get
[07:04] <ubotu> apt-get is probably http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/apt-howto.en.txt (in depth) and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptGetHowto
[07:05] <SAM_theman> sudo dpkg -i >>>
[07:05] <SAM_theman> ?
[07:05] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, the some hidden files in /home for xsession errors..thats one I would look in
[07:05] <stpere> SAM_theman, sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[07:05] <wiggieXpectsLess> looking...
[07:05] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, type ls -al to see all files including hidden
[07:05] <dsas> SAM_theman: sudo dpkg -i PACKAGE_NAME.deb be careful you're not install malware or stuff that might break your install
[07:06] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, cat .xsession-errors
[07:06] <wiggieXpectsLess> mustard5: is that a binary file?
[07:06] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, just a text file in your /home/username/ directory  ($HOME)
[07:06] <thug_> how will i get a nicer wether report ? i will like one witch tells me the wether for the next 3 days or so :)) not just how it is now any ideea ?
[07:07] <wiggieXpectsLess> mustard5: i get this
[07:07] <wiggieXpectsLess> ** (gnome-cups-icon:17175): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status 1030
[07:07] <thug_> weather err
[07:07] <wiggieXpectsLess> all lines so far
[07:07] <Dr_Willis> thug_,  i use the firefox extenesions for my 'weather'
[07:07] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, sounds fairly cryptic to me ;)
[07:07] <wiggieXpectsLess> cool :)
[07:07] <thug_> Dr_Willis any help links or somethig ?
[07:08] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, what have you recently installed that might be affecting nautilus?
[07:08] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, have you added an applet to a panel or something like that?
[07:09] <wiggieXpectsLess> well i installed automatix
[07:09] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, eek :)
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> thug_,  the firefox extension site is a MUST - to explore.. :P check out adblock, and flashkiller, and the others...
[07:09] <wiggieXpectsLess> and some stuff from it
[07:09] <thug_> wiggieXpectsLess automatix aint good
[07:09] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, that could mean it could be anything :)
[07:09] <wiggieXpectsLess> well i realised that now
[07:09] <wiggieXpectsLess> indeed
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> automatix is worse then 'aint good'
[07:09] <wiggieXpectsLess> i didn't want to use it at first
[07:09] <wiggieXpectsLess> but now i did
[07:09] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, so much gets installed that it hard to troubleshoot exactly what happened
[07:09] <wiggieXpectsLess> i can remove everything i installed with it
[07:09] <wiggieXpectsLess> and then remove automatix itself
[07:10] <thug_> Dr_Willis well sometimes all those plugins crash the mozilla0firefox ... happend to me a while ago
[07:10] <wiggieXpectsLess> so.. i`ll try that and let you know what happens
[07:10] <thug_> Dr_Willis thanks for the info
[07:10] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, k..it would certainly make it easier to pin the problem down to one thing :)
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> thug_,  never had any do it. :)
[07:11] <wiggieXpectsLess> damn.. that will be pretty hard
[07:11] <wiggieXpectsLess> i thought the windows true type fonts were at fault
[07:11] <thug_> Dr_Willis ok cheers
[07:11] <wiggieXpectsLess> but i got rid of them
[07:11] <wiggieXpectsLess> and i still have the problem
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> I dident think Automatix had a good Uninstall feature
[07:12] <wiggieXpectsLess> nope
[07:12] <wiggieXpectsLess> i'm doing it manually
[07:12] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, you using a --purge option to remove configuration as well?
[07:13] <wiggieXpectsLess> nope, just remove
[07:13] <dmbt> hey, is there a way to turn off fsck from checking a disk after 30 mounts?
[07:13] <dmbt> its just kind of annoying, because it really doesn't need to check after 30 moutns
[07:13] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, try sudo apt-get remove --purge whateverappname
[07:13] <dmbt> maybe if they were unclean mounts
[07:13] <mustard5> Ayabara, sounds good :)
[07:13] <dmbt> but not clean mounts
[07:14] <wiggieXpectsLess> ok, i'll try that
[07:14] <wiggieXpectsLess> i just need to see if i can find the stuff it installed
[07:14] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, there are uninstall instructions in the Automatix form
[07:14] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, there are uninstall instructions in the Automatix forum..a sticky thread I think
[07:15] <Ayabara> mustard5: feels good ;)
[07:15] <wiggieXpectsLess> yup
[07:15] <mustard5> Ayabara, everyone can coach you in installing most things manually in here.  At least you get an idea of whats happening on your system that way :)
[07:16] <PDani> how can i determine the device file of a bus,target,lun triple?
[07:16] <amphi> PDani: for a cd writer?
[07:16] <PDani> amphi, yes
[07:17] <amphi> PDani: cdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus
[07:17] <amphi> PDani: once you have that, you can stick it in /etc/default/cdrecord
[07:17] <Ayabara> mustard5: I've gotten a lot of help here before, but unfortunately I didn't pop by to ask if Automatix was a good idea when I stumbled over it...
[07:18] <amphi> PDani: eg. CDR_DEVICE=ATA:1,0,0
[07:18] <DrNickRiviera> does anyone know whether via-agp is included with ubuntu?
[07:18] <conty> #list
[07:18] <PDani> amphi, it's a scsi cd-writer
[07:18] <DrNickRiviera> because x wont start and i've found some instructions that i need to load it to solve the error
[07:18] <amphi> PDani: oh, real scsi, sorry ;)
[07:18] <DrNickRiviera> but i get the message, that it can't be found
[07:19] <amphi> PDani: forget dev=ATA then
[07:19] <DrNickRiviera> i've got a mainboard with a via chipset and a matrox g450 graphics card
[07:19] <Spitty> I think it is, DrNick
[07:19] <amphi> PDani: cdrecord -scanbus should find it
[07:19] <PDani> amphi, i need something like /dev/scd0...
[07:20] <maihem> Ayabara: The reason Linux has had a good reputation for stablility, IMHO, is that it was too hard for people to install arbitrary software they found on some geezer's website that only those who *really* knew what they were doing tried it. So for most people nothing ever broke. Now folks are just clicking on anything they find and wondering wat happened to their data.
[07:20] <PDani> amphi, it finds, but it doesn't tell anything about the device-file of it
[07:20] <Spitty> Nick, have you tried sudo modprobe via_agp ?
[07:20] <DrNickRiviera> yes, that's when i get the message that it can't be found
[07:20] <amphi> PDani: dmesg or your logs should say something about it
[07:20] <Spitty> hrm
[07:20] <DrNickRiviera> modprobe intel_agp loads fine, but x obviously doesn't work, as i need the agp one
[07:20] <DrNickRiviera> via one i mean
[07:21] <Spitty> does anyone know if via_agp is in restricted?
[07:21] <maihem> Hi Doctor Nick!
[07:21] <DrNickRiviera> hi everybody ;)
[07:21] <sauron_the_mad> maihem, this is soo true^^
[07:21] <sauron_the_mad> btw: hi everyone
[07:22] <amphi> PDani: if you tail -f /var/log/syslog and plug it out and in again, you should see it
[07:22] <bbrazil> Spitty: I'm pretty sure it's free
[07:22] <Spitty> hrm... DrNickR cant seem to load it
[07:22] <carlos> msn
[07:23] <Ayabara> maihem: I can agree with you on that one. learns a bit more from doing it on my own too :-)
[07:24] <PDani> amphi, i've no logs :)
[07:24] <PDani> amphi, any other way?
[07:24] <DrNickRiviera> is there any chance it might have a slightly different name?
[07:24] <DrNickRiviera> just because it's called intel-agp doesn't mean it's the same for via
[07:24] <Spitty> they try to keep it the same name throughout, so I don't think so
[07:24] <sauron_the_mad> hm, where do i find the logs from my dhcp3?
[07:24] <Spitty> it loads fine on my install, but i'm running dapper
[07:25] <Spitty> Nick, what kernel are you running?
[07:25] <DrNickRiviera> whatever comes with the default 5.10 packages
[07:25] <Spitty> run uname -a and post it
[07:25] <DrNickRiviera> have only just installed breezy and not managed to boot it so far :(
[07:25] <mustard5> Spitty, I've got it on mine on Breezy (using nvidia though)
[07:26] <Spitty> yeah
[07:26] <DrNickRiviera> i'm in windows at the moment, so i would have to reboot
[07:26] <DrNickRiviera> hang on a second
[07:26] <Spitty> Nick, do you have access to the computer in question?
[07:26] <Spitty> ok
[07:26] <amphi> PDani: you have no logs? or just nothing relevant in them?
[07:26] <_6ix_> The data cd burner won't recognize my blank cd....but serpentine never has a problem with the media.  Any idea why?
[07:27] <SAM_theman> Yo i am suprised that Rhythmbox 0.9.1 picks up my sis ipod nano but i can't play the sounds from their
[07:27] <spikeb> rhythmbox picked up my ipod fine and whatnot, i just can't do anything with it besides play music off it
[07:27] <SAM_theman> "There were no decoders found to handle the stream,you might need to install the corresponding plugins"
[07:28] <SAM_theman> ?
[07:28] <mustard5> SAM_theman, the restricted formats page on the wiki :)
[07:28] <mustard5> !restricted
[07:28] <ubotu> well, restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[07:30] <g0dchild> gasp! there's something wrong with amaroK...when i play a file, the progress sliders skips across...no sound at all :S
[07:30] <sauron_the_mad> need a little help here... dhcp-server won't start (using dapper flight6)
[07:30] <Blissex> tell g0dchild restricted
[07:30] <Blissex> !restricted
[07:30] <ubotu> restricted is, like, totally, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[07:30] <Blissex> g0dchild: odds are you don't have a restricted codes for that type of fil.
[07:31] <monomaniacpat> If you guys are still here, ctrl-alt-backspace+F1/ using console didn't work. If ubuntu is already loaded, I simply get a minced image on the screen I switch to. Little Help?
[07:32] <sauron_the_mad> i'm installed LTSP and modified the dhcpd.conf.sample to my ohn adressrange
[07:32] <g0dchild> Blissex, how can i restart alsa or whatever sound system in place..?
[07:32] <whyami> has anybody tried installing ubuntu on top of WIndows using coLinux?
[07:32] <Blissex> g0dchild: you can't really restart ALSA; perhaps you don't have permissions to the sound devices in '/dev/snd'
[07:33] <monomaniacpat> Anyone else know how to switch monitors on a laptop (when FN doesn't work/ produces a minced image)?
[07:33] <whyami> monomaniacpat: what video card?
[07:33] <gleesond> !dapper
[07:33] <ubotu> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support :)
[07:33] <monomaniacpat> nvidia 440 go I believe
[07:33] <dmbt> after you kill esd, how do you start it again?
[07:33] <Blissex> g0dchild: if you suspect ALSA problems have a look at the troubleshooting checklist here: http://tinyurl.com/4ogk2
[07:33] <_6ix_> I think that ubuntu just saw that I was trying to burn .exe files and decided not to let me
[07:34] <DrNickRiviera> Spitty: haven't checked the kernel
[07:34] <Blissex> dmbt: same as with any other service usually '/etc/init.d/.... start'
[07:34] <DrNickRiviera> but could it just be the fact, that i am using the amd64 version?
[07:34] <Spitty> hrm
[07:34] <Spitty> possibly
[07:34] <mustard5> monomaniacpat, hmmm..I have strange recollection of a virtual terminal problem with laptops ....
[07:34] <dmbt> Blissex: esd isn't really a service
[07:34] <DrNickRiviera> didn't think this would make a big difference when it comes to hardware
[07:34] <whyami> monomaniacpat: I don't know on nvidia but it's going to be a setting in xorg.conf and it's going to be something for the video driver itself.
[07:34] <dmbt> esd is kind of like a sound server for gnome
[07:34] <mustard5> monomaniacpat, something about using a vga kernel option of some kind when booting
[07:34] <Spitty> well, you have to have 64 bit versions of the drivers for them to work
[07:34] <g0dchild> alright...thanks. Another think I dont understand, switching keyboard layouts- i found it under desktop prefs-> keyboard-> layout options- but what exactly do I need to do to activate the switch?
[07:34] <dmbt> it runs at the user level
[07:35] <DrNickRiviera> found this on a forum "I'm interested in people's experiences with Breezy on amd64. I have a Warty install on a dual-core amd64 and I really can't use it (don't laugh ;) because there appears to be absolutely zero driver support for my MSI board (ATI chipset) in the kernel it comes with."
[07:35] <Spitty> well, that's warty
[07:35] <DrNickRiviera> and i've got an msi board too, so that might be the problem
[07:35] <aLPHa_LeaK> exactly
[07:35] <g0dchild> in windows its the sequence shift+alt isnt it-? the gnome-document for keyboard layouts doesnt give much details either
[07:35] <thug_> into what directory should i isnatll macromedia flash player 7 ?
[07:35] <SAM_theman> O man its a beautiful day...
[07:35] <whyami> DrNickRiviera: try a live CD of both Breezy and Dapper and see if you get the support you need.
[07:35] <Spitty> if you want good 64 bit support, you need at least breezy, and maybe dapper (though i don't know how well dapper does 64 bit)
[07:35] <monomaniacpat> whyami: I'd rather not mess about with X if poss, as I had a terrible experience the first time I installed hoary. mustard5: any suggestions?
[07:36] <mustard5> monomaniacpat, just searching for the page atm :)
[07:36] <monomaniacpat> thanks!
[07:36] <bigjaws> ??...  I shared a folder, but when I try to access it through "Places-network" it wants a logon and password, but none of them work... any clue what the deal is?
[07:37] <bigjaws> I cant access on the host or a remote windows PC
[07:37] <mustard5> monomaniacpat, I don't know whether its relevant actually, but here is what I was thinking of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopSmallConsole?highlight=%28laptop%29
[07:37] <DrNickRiviera> i tried using the amd64 cd i've got at the moment as a live cd and when the splash screen comes up it freezes on "starting deferred execution scheduler"
[07:37] <veriz> can someone help me... how I can install JBoss into Ubuntu? Any howto's or something?
[07:37] <DrNickRiviera> don't know if that might be relevant in some way
[07:37] <mustard5> monomaniacpat, I wonder whether your situation is related, but not specifically the same
[07:37] <whyami> monomaniacpat: I don't know the details, but I think what you are looking for is called TwinView and it is something for both Win32 and Linux.
[07:37] <Spitty> I don't know... i have a 64 bit processor on my desktop, but when I tried 64 ubuntu, it was way too buggy and unsupported for me (this is back in the days of hoary)
[07:38] <roostishaw> anyone know what the official opera irc channel is?
[07:38] <whyami> DrNickRiviera: what versions is the live CD?
[07:38] <daharon> hey guys, how do I control what init scripts are called at boot up?
[07:38] <rambo3> irc.opera.org i dont know i have it auto in opera browser
[07:38] <DrNickRiviera> is the kubuntu 5.10
[07:38] <monomaniacpat> whyami: I have the details for twinview, actually, but like I said, it sounds a bit risky
[07:38] <whyami> personally, I run IA32 on my AMD64. I know some would find that sacreligious...
[07:38] <bigjaws> I just built a new AMD 64 but I opeted out of 64 bit for now also... I have yet to hear a positive story...
[07:38] <DrNickRiviera> which works as a live cd as well as installer
[07:39] <rambo3> and deinstaller?
[07:39] <spikeb> yeah that is what i would do as well
[07:39] <DrNickRiviera> how stable is the newest dapper i386 beta?
[07:39] <Spitty> I think the Core problem is whether via_agp exists as a 64 bit drivers
[07:39] <miweit00> hi
[07:39] <DrNickRiviera> might just go for that
[07:39] <mustard5> monomaniacpat, if you make a backup of your current xorg.conf you can't go too far wrong...(and find instructions for getting on IRC from the command line) :D
[07:39] <Spitty> dapper is very stable now... it gets a little funky if you try things like XGL, but as a bas install it's fine
[07:40] <SAM_theman> !ipod
[07:40] <ubotu> info for syncing your iPod is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPodHowto
[07:40] <whyami> DrNickRiviera: I've been running Dapper on a VIA chipset w/ AMD64 since something like Feb. Works like a charm! :-)
[07:40] <mustard5> monomaniacpat, not being able to get to a virtual terminal is a problem though
[07:40] <rambo3> !nano
[07:40] <ubotu> rambo3: I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[07:40] <DrNickRiviera> ok
[07:40] <miweit00> is there still a problem with the ati-drivers in dapper?
[07:40] <factotum> i cant remember is it alpha then beta then the release candidates, or the other way around?
[07:40] <monomaniacpat> if I run in recovery can I copy the backup to the right problem again?
[07:40] <bigjaws> Anybody proficient with Samba?
[07:40] <robertj> whyami: its fine except for the 100 megs of updates every week
[07:40] <Thug-N-Me> hastesaver thanks ... i didnt know its available on the repos ... i installed it from macromedia home page :)
[07:40] <monomaniacpat> not problem, place
[07:40] <whyami> robertj: yeah. Good point. :-)
[07:40] <robertj> bigjaws: justAsk
[07:40] <spikeb> factotum, you got it right
[07:40] <Spitty> robertj: that just keeps life interesting
[07:40] <factotum> thx
[07:40] <Spitty> :-)
[07:41] <DrNickRiviera> might go with x86 anyway, don't want to be stuck on windows longer then i already have
[07:41] <daharon> hey guys, how do I control what init scripts are called at boot up?
[07:41] <whyami> DrNickRiviera: that's what I would recommend.
[07:41] <mustard5> monomaniacpat, yeah..you would copy the xorg.conf to another filename  and then copy it back to the working file if you find yourself in a jam
[07:41] <bigjaws> I have a shared folder, but it wants a login and PW to get into it... I cant get in from my local linux box, or my remote windows box...  Why the login and PW
[07:41] <daharon> whats ubuntu's version of rc-update?
[07:42] <mustard5> monomaniacpat, a command like cd /etc/X11/   then cp xorg.conf xorg.conf_backup1
[07:42] <monomaniacpat> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=170895 - do you know where xorg.conf is located?
[07:42] <amphi> daharon: update-rc.d perhaps?
[07:42] <mustard5> monomaniacpat, in /etc/X11/
[07:42] <monomaniacpat> thanks, I'll give it a go.
[07:42] <amphi> daharon: what does rc-update do?
[07:42] <factotum> DrNickRiviera, yeah you might be alright with dapper, im sure there are updates and bugfixes quite often so you will probably get update notifications here and there, otherwise it should go pretty smoothly. Alot of the glitches I found where mostly just cosmetic. Nothing to bring the system to its knees or anything
[07:42] <wiggieXpectsLess> mustard5: ok, now i removed everything and purged the configuration files
[07:42] <wiggieXpectsLess> and i also removed and purged nautilus
[07:42] <wiggieXpectsLess> what do i do now?
[07:42] <wiggieXpectsLess> reinstall nautilus?
[07:42] <DrNickRiviera> shame i wasted a blank dvd on the amd64 version
[07:43] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, give it a go I suppose :)
[07:43] <robertj> bigjaws: because samba uses a different password database than normal
[07:43] <daharon> amphi: it controls the init scripts from /etc/init.d/, like which ones are activated at boot time and also what runlevel they are activated in
[07:43] <DrNickRiviera> really want the amarok 1.4 beta 3 version anyway and as far as i've heard that can be quite a pain on breezy
[07:43] <factotum> DrNickRiviera, its probably not because of dapper, its because Amarok is beta 3
[07:44] <Spitty> Nick, i compiled it on dapper, and it's very nice
[07:44] <Spitty> nope, amarok's up to beta 4 now
[07:44] <TooEarly> i burnt the kubuntu 5.10 DVD and when i try to install it, it goes through the "language selection, keyboard selection,..." etc but then it says getting drivers for something..then it just sits on the blue screen and does nothing. anyone know what could be the problem
[07:44] <carlos> gferg
[07:44] <factotum> cool, then it sounds like nothing much to worry about then haha
[07:44] <robertj> bigjaws: change it to passdb backend = plaintext
[07:44] <bigjaws> Is there a way to share a folder and note require a login PW?
[07:44] <Blissex> TooEarly: hardware configuration? Have you verified the chcksum?
[07:44] <robertj> bigjaws: there is but I'd really not recommend it
[07:45] <robertj> you want to try that change above, restart samba, & let me know if it works?
[07:45] <Xaero_Vincent> does anyone here have dual boot Ubuntu and Windows XP on two harddrives?
[07:45] <bigjaws> So add that line to the conf file?
[07:45] <TooEarly> Blissex: what about the hardware config?
[07:45] <DrNickRiviera> factotum: with breezy there is some problem with taglib, need to update that for the amarok beta to work as far as i know
[07:45] <factotum> Xaero_Vincent, not me, but Ive set it up a few times
[07:45] <robertj> bigjaws: there is already a line in there that reads    passdb backend = tdbsam
[07:45] <robertj> just change that one
[07:45] <DrNickRiviera> not sure what the big problem is though
[07:45] <bigjaws>  I'll try it now... thx
[07:46] <Xaero_Vincent> well i wanted to barrow somebodies grub config file.. so that I can setup Arch Linux :P
[07:46] <wiggieXpectsLess> that didn`t do it
[07:46] <Blissex> TooEarly: let me put it another way: we are sorry, our clairvoyant advisors are all busy on other lines, you will be called back soon :-)
[07:46] <M_Fatih> what is w32 codecs source list line?
[07:47] <mustard5> wiggieXpectsLess, bummer
[07:47] <wiggieXpectsLess> yes, quite the bummer
[07:47] <factotum> DrNickRiviera, odd, so its more on taglibs end and not amarok?
[07:47] <wiggieXpectsLess> i think i`ll post it in the forum as well
[07:47] <wiggieXpectsLess> and then see what i get
[07:48] <MannieX> ciaoa a tutti
[07:48] <monomaniacpat> If I sudo cp xorg.conf_backup1 xorg.conf - will that return me to my original xorg?
[07:48] <hetauma> hi can some1 tell me where would kubuntu might run dhclient on boot ?
[07:48] <goog> so i installed a bunch of X related upgrades yesterday
[07:49] <goog> and now gstreamer sound doesnt work
[07:49] <factotum> wonder if you could install from source and add some wierd-fangled tag when you compile it random thought and too much of a pain, i know, just thinking out loud :P
[07:49] <goog> anyone know why?
[07:49] <factotum> goog, maybe check your gnome sound profiles
[07:49] <_harm> Hi guys, i just install ubuntu 5.04 on my sisters computer (a dell) and the screen resolution is very very shitty (640x480@60Mhz) seems like a driver problem what should i do to solve this?
[07:50] <factotum> _harm, the install doesnt always get the optimum settings for a monitor, might have to reconfig X to get better settings
[07:50] <goog> i dunno.
[07:50] <daryl> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[07:50] <daryl>   nvidia-glx: Conflicts: nvidia-settings but 1.0-3ubuntu7 is to be installed
[07:50] <daryl> E: Broken packages
[07:51] <_harm> factotum > how would i reconfig it?
[07:51] <daryl> Anyone know whats wrong with that?
[07:51] <bigjaws> Any idea why my su command wont take the password?
[07:51] <mustard5> goog, you could try running the register command again
[07:51] <factotum> _harm, do you know the refresh rates and all that jazz?
[07:51] <TooEarly> Blissex: hey do you think that dual monitors could mess up my installation
[07:51] <goog> mustard5, hows that?
[07:51] <mustard5> goog, just looking for it...
[07:51] <goog> thanks
[07:51] <mustard5> goog, on breezy?
[07:51] <goog> 5.10
[07:51] <_harm> factotum i believe its currently at 640x480 @ 60mhz
[07:52] <goog> yes
[07:52] <mustard5> goog, try this gst-register-0.8
[07:52] <_harm> factotum and i wanne get it up to 1024x786 or higher
[07:52] <SAM_theman> Hey Home Dogs want to see my desktop now
[07:52] <goog> sudo?
[07:52] <SAM_theman> its still in progress
[07:52] <SAM_theman> http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=5/12613505772.png&s=f5
[07:52] <SAM_theman> Vista Linux (Hooah)
[07:52] <mustard5> goog, I dont think so
[07:52] <mustard5> goog, it doesnt show that in the HOW TO I'm looking at
[07:52] <daryl> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13578 (anyone offer suggestions?)
[07:52] <monomaniacpat> how do I check which kernel I'm running?
[07:52] <Blissex> TooEarly: dual monitor? Thats difficult, it is more likely CPU motherboard chipset or graphics card.
[07:52] <factotum> _harm, okay, the one way i was thinking of reconfiguring it was to do an xorgconfig command on a terminal, when you go that way it asks you the refresh rate of your monitor, i think all that is on the back of the monitor near where  you plug it it
[07:53] <factotum> in'
[07:53] <steven_> monomaniacpat: uname -a
[07:53] <factotum> the horizontal and vertical refresh rates
[07:53] <brandon_> steven_ uname -r
[07:53] <brandon_> isolates the kernel
[07:53] <factotum> oooorrrr, do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:53] <factotum> or something like that, cant remember the syntax
[07:53] <monomaniacpat> steven_: that worked, thanks
[07:54] <goog> mustard5, still not working..
[07:54] <Spitty> you're right, factotum
[07:54] <factotum> woohoo!
[07:54] <mustard5> goog, k ..worth a try anyway :)
[07:54] <robertj> bigjaws: hows that working for you?
[07:54] <Spitty> just need a "sudo", but that kinda goes without saying
[07:54] <Bilange> whats the command which asks us which "greeting program" (gdm/kdm) I want to use? i just saw this while installing kubuntu-desktop, but ive never saw the actual command
[07:54] <goog> damn
[07:54] <daryl> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13578
[07:54] <goog> the thing, totem works with sound
[07:54] <daryl> Anyone able to help?
[07:54] <goog> but not amarok
[07:55] <brandon_> goog: what engine are you using with amarok?
[07:55] <goog> gstreamer
[07:55] <brandon_> try xine
[07:55] <goog> thats not a choice
[07:55] <SAM_theman> Heres Fedora Core 4 (don't use anymore) ->http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=2/4917381765.png&s=x4
[07:56] <brandon_> goog: youc an install the xine engine plugin for amarok using apt
[07:56] <brandon_> also, the arts engine
[07:56] <SAM_theman> Now This is the sexy ubuntu ->http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=5/12613505772.png&s=f5
[07:56] <Thug-N-Me> anyone who use gDesklets please help me to get the weather applet
[07:56] <daryl> Someone have a moment to help?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13578
[07:56] <goog> brandon_, so i should install the arts engine AND the xine engine?
[07:56] <daryl> mustard5 thank you!
[07:57] <bigjaws> robertj:  I added the line to the conf file, but now I don't even get asked for a password, it just errors out..
[07:57] <daryl> mustard5 hehe i am really new... did i mention, i'm new? : )
[07:57] <brandon_> goog: no, just xine for now
[07:57] <robertj> bigjaws: did samba restart properly?
[07:57] <robertj> and I assumed you removed the old line right?
[07:57] <mustard5> daryl, :)
[07:58] <daryl> did you know whats wrong w/the thing?
[07:58] <mustard5> daryl, just thinking about the error message atm...
[07:58] <daryl> thanks man
[07:58] <Killjoy1984> I have a stupid problem. In terminal, I give the command "dir" and receive the following error : bash: /bin/dir: File too large. "ls" however does it's job
[07:58] <Boglizk> a guy told me to do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure all" to fix the charset in irssi, i'm not sure what it does though
[07:58] <bigjaws> robertj: I stopped and restarted it... I assume it's ok... should I try from command?
[07:58] <rambo3> SAM_theman, this is help channel , user ubuntu forums art for that
[07:58] <robertj> bigjaws: yes, how did you stop it through the GUI btw?
[07:58] <robertj> swat?
[07:58] <bigjaws> Wnet to services, unchecked, checked it
[07:59] <SAM_theman> whatever
[07:59] <DewDude> is there a wifi config utility i can use with cards loaded with ndiswrapper?
[07:59] <goog> brandon_, i installed amarok-xine, but i still cant choose it in the amarok settings
[07:59] <mustard5> daryl, are you an 5.10?
[07:59] <goog> and yes, i restarted amarok
[07:59] <daryl> mustard5, whats a 5.10?
[07:59] <robertj> bigjaws: old habits die hard :)
[08:00] <mustard5> daryl, breezy badger version of ubuntu
[08:00] <daryl> mustard5, er how do i check hehe
[08:00] <Spitty> Ubuntu 5.10 = breezy badger
[08:00] <bigjaws> robertj: Sad I know.. but I need the command to restart it...
[08:00] <daryl> mustard5, i was.  i just upgraded to Dapper
[08:00] <mustard5> daryl, ah!
[08:00] <robertj> sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[08:00] <mustard5> daryl, can you pastebin your sources.list?
[08:00] <daryl> um sure if you tell me where my sources.list is
[08:00] <Spitty> /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:01] <daryl> one moment
[08:01] <brandon_> goog: it's not there?
[08:01] <goog> nope
[08:01] <brandon_> i think there's a package called "amarok-engines" or something that you need
[08:01] <goog> oh lemme look
[08:01] <bigjaws> robertj: huh... stopping OK, restarting FAILED
[08:01] <robertj> bigjaws: why did it fail?
[08:01] <robertj> did you change the line just like I told you to
[08:02] <daryl> mustard5: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13580
[08:02] <goog> yeah, and it installed amarok-arts too
[08:02] <brandon_> goog: you do have to restart amarok too
[08:02] <robertj> added the new one, got rid of the old one?
[08:02] <oknewbie> Anyone here know how to set what media player is default
[08:02] <mustard5> daryl, k
[08:02] <bigjaws> robertj: didn't say....
[08:03] <goog> damnit, i restarted amarok, and still when i go to setting > amarok settings > engine, the only choice is Gstreamer Engine or No engine
[08:03] <Ayabara> anyone got mplayer working ok on ubuntu?
[08:03] <mustard5> daryl, ok..first you should log out of root I think :)
[08:03] <brandon_> Ayabara: sure do
[08:03] <robertj> bigjaws: mind killing your old configuration?
[08:03] <daryl> mustard5: done
[08:03] <mustard5> daryl, then try sudo apt-get update
[08:03] <bigjaws> not at all
[08:04] <daryl> mustard5: done
[08:04] <oknewbie> goog try sudo dpkg-reconfigure amarok
[08:04] <mustard5> daryl, your sources.list looks fine..so its a bit of a mystery atm :)
[08:04] <Ayabara> brandon_: just apt-getting mplayer-386?
[08:04] <mustard5> daryl, try the install command again and see if you get a repeat of the error
[08:04] <Spitty> daryl, try sudo apt-get clean
[08:04] <Spitty> then try downloading the nvidia stuff again
[08:04] <daryl> spitty, dooing so now.
[08:04] <mustard5> Spitty, what does 'clean' do btw?
[08:04] <daryl> mustard5: yes, got a repeat
[08:05] <Spitty> cleans out the apt cache so everything gets downloaded newly
[08:05] <brandon_> Ayabara: youcan do that, or there are detailed instructions in the forums for compiling a cutting edge version from cvs
[08:05] <Spitty> sometimes old versions hang out in there
[08:05] <Ayabara> !ati
[08:05] <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
[08:05] <mustard5> Spitty, k
[08:05] <robertj> bigjaws: sudo cp /usr/share/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba
[08:05] <daryl> mustard5 and Spitty: i ran what you both suggested, same error
[08:05] <robertj> bigjaws: then restart it and see if it is happy
[08:05] <Spitty> daryl, have you tried not downloading nvidia-settings and just getting the nvidia drivers?
[08:06] <PDani> hm
[08:06] <bigjaws> robertj: running now....
[08:06] <daryl> spitty: to be honest, i'm not sure what the proper protocol is. i'm just trying to follow a howto.  could you explain what you suggested?
[08:06] <Ayabara> brandon_: that was the answer I hoped for. cutting edge is what I want :-)
[08:06] <PDani> Command failed: Incompatible libdevmapper 1.01.03 (2005-06-13)(compat) and kernel driver
[08:06] <mustard5> daryl, just drop the nvidia-settings part from the line
[08:06] <bigjaws> robertj: happy... as it were
[08:06] <Spitty> sure- could I have a link to the howto?
[08:06] <robertj> ok, edit the file again, fine the line that specifies the passdb backend whatever and CHANGE the current entry to passdb backend plaintext
[08:06] <daryl> mustard5: doing so now
[08:06] <Spitty> and do what mustard5 said
[08:06] <brandon_> Ayabara: i actually have a deb version that was in the repos
[08:07] <brandon_> don't know why you can't see it, although i'm using dapper
[08:07] <daryl> mustard5 and Spitty, its running now
[08:07] <PDani> cryptsetup says this
[08:07] <PDani> any idea?
[08:07] <mustard5> daryl, did it uninstall nvidia settings?
[08:07] <Spitty> i don't think nvidia-settings was installed in the first place
[08:07] <oknewbie> Does anyone here now how to set the which media player is the default
[08:07] <Spitty> it was causing a conflict
[08:07] <mustard5> Spitty, ah ok
[08:07] <Ayabara> brandon_: I read something about a deb version being more stable then the "default one"
[08:08] <Spitty> daryl, could you link me to the howto you're using?
[08:08] <daryl> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13581
[08:08] <Spitty> thanks
[08:08] <brandon_> Ayabara: both versions have worked perfectly fine for me, the difference is that it's quicker to install the deb
[08:08] <robertj> bigjaws: how did that work?
[08:08] <daryl> mustard5 and Spitty: new pastebin.  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13581
[08:09] <daryl> Spitty, one moment
[08:09] <bigjaws> robertj: it restarted... no problem
[08:09] <daryl> Spitty: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75074&highlight=world+warcraft+cedega
[08:09] <Ayabara> brandon_: ok. I'll try out it out
[08:09] <robertj> bigjaws: ok, does it work now with your existing accounts?
[08:09] <mustard5> daryl, its removing ATI drivers?
[08:09] <brandon_> Ayabara: are you using dapper?
[08:09] <Killjoy1984> can someone tell me why when I enter "dir" in bash it's spitting out "bash: /bin/dir: File too large."?
[08:09] <bigjaws> robertj: maybe when I put in plaintext... I deleted the bsdm? guest with the word plaintext... should I have left guest?
[08:09] <daryl> mustard5: um roflmao...
[08:09] <Spitty> daryl, you have a nvidia card, right?
[08:09] <daryl> mustard5 i'm gonna die lauhing now... haha
[08:10] <mustard5> daryl, :)
[08:10] <robertj> bigjaws: should just go from    passdb backend = tdbsam to    passdb backend = plaintext
[08:10] <daryl> mustard5 and Spitty: no, i dont' have a nvidia.. *slaps forhead repeatedly*
[08:10] <mustard5> daryl, hehehe
[08:10] <Spitty> well, that's probably your problem
[08:10] <Spitty> :-D
[08:10] <daryl> roflmao
[08:10] <Spitty> ati = fglrx || nvidia = nvidia
[08:10] <robertj> historically it read from the plaintext config files in /etc/passwd but that's not true now, it just uses pam
[08:10] <daryl> ok.  how do i remove what i just ran? lol
[08:10] <robertj> so it will work with ldap accounts etc
[08:10] <Ayabara> brandon_: no, a 30 minutes old breezy
[08:10] <Ayabara> :-)
[08:11] <mustard5> daryl, looks like it removed your ATI drivers too
[08:11] <robertj> and of course most of those don't have the security problems that plaintext files do have
[08:11] <bigjaws> robertj: the login and password work now... amazing... I need to try from a windows machine now
[08:11] <robertj> there are a few security draw backs but they are inconsequential for home users
[08:11] <daryl> mustard5: thats fine they weren't working anyways rofl
[08:11] <Spitty> daryl, sudo apt-get remove --Purge nvidia-glx
[08:11] <brandon_> Ayabara: well, then you might not have the same version available as the one i've got here, since i'm using dapper repos
[08:11] <Spitty> that gets rid of the nvidia junk, or at least it should
[08:11] <robertj> mainly the security drawback is that REALLY old clients who can't send encrypted auth will send plaintext auth
[08:11] <brandon_> Ayabara: it only takes 15 minutes or so to build the cvs version
[08:12] <daryl> rofl, thanks you two
[08:12] <Spitty> sure thing
[08:12] <Ayabara> brandon_: ok. I'll see how it goes
[08:12] <eXistenZ> what's the best way to install ff 1.5?
[08:12] <robertj> but everything like 98 & newer I believe will negotiate an encrypted auth sequence & will not pose security problems
[08:12] <mustard5> daryl, np
[08:12] <Spitty> after that runs, do sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
[08:12] <daryl> helping hte blind.. lol forrgive me. my current computer is ati, the one enext to it is ati
[08:12] <daryl> er the one next to it is nvidia
[08:12] <Spitty> hehe
[08:13] <eXistenZ> !help firefox
[08:13] <mustard5> daryl, I gathered thats what you meant ;)
[08:13] <Spitty> you're not having a very good day, are you daryl?
[08:13] <robertj> bigjaws: you might want to file that suggestion on launchpad
[08:13] <yggdrasil_> when i use btddownloadcurses and i setup my max upload rate does that effect my download rate?
[08:13] <eXistenZ> !firefox
[08:13] <mabus> how do I find out the speed of my ram, other than taking it out and reading?
[08:13] <daryl> Spitty, I've spent the last 3 days tryign to get wow to work. I just subscribed to Cedega, and its not running right
[08:13] <andy_> hello
[08:13] <Spitty> yeesh, I don't blame you
[08:13] <eXistenZ> !firefox1.5
[08:13] <ubotu> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
[08:14] <mustard5> mabus, I'm not having any light bulbs go off on that question :)
[08:15] <Spitty> mabus, it may tell you in your bios- do you have a prebuilt computer from someone like dell or compaq?
[08:15] <Zerro> hello
[08:15] <Spitty> hey there
[08:15] <Zerro> I just installed Ubuntu today
[08:16] <Zerro> My windows xp is completly trashed
[08:16] <daryl> mustard5 and Spitty: new post http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13582
[08:16] <mabus> Spitty: No, I value money.
[08:16] <mabus> ;)
[08:16] <whyami> is it possible to change a Debian distro to an ubuntu distro just by changing the sources for apt-get?
[08:16] <yggdrasil_> when i use btddownloadcurses for a torrent file and i setup my max upload rate does that effect my download rate?
[08:16] <Spitty> ooo good, so you built it yourself mabus?
[08:16] <Zerro> Is there anyway to use Visual Basic on Ubuntu?
[08:17] <whyami> Zerro: wine?
[08:17] <prospero2005> eclipse ?
[08:17] <Zerro> whats that?
[08:17] <prospero2005> eclipse is an ide
[08:17] <Blissex> Zerro: there is a clone called Gambas, for GNOME.
[08:17] <salmiak> mplayer is laggy. The sound and picture doesn't sync...any ideas?
[08:17] <Spitty> daryl, try this: sudo apt-get install --reinstall xorg-driver-fglrx
[08:17] <Zerro> Is is the same as VB?
[08:17] <prospero2005> kaffiene is what I use
[08:17] <steven_> mabus: have you tried installing and running lshw?
[08:17] <Blissex> Zerro: not identical, but close.
[08:18] <daryl> Spitty: same error : (
[08:18] <mustard5> daryl, I'm not sure whats going on there
[08:18] <brandon_> salmiak: are you perhaps playing a file that doesn't have a proper index? try using -nocache
[08:18] <Zerro> Hmmm?
[08:18] <eXistenZ> isn't gnome slower than kde?
[08:18] <mustard5> daryl, it gave the same error when removing the drivers in the earlier command
[08:18] <daryl> mustard5: me either. i'm crying.  the folks in ubuntu-xgl helped me install it last night... but they not here to ask questions too
[08:18] <salmiak> brandon_, That didn't work
[08:18] <Zerro> Do you guys got any sugestion on what programing language to use in Ubuntu?
[08:18] <Blissex> Zerro: also note that with VB7 you can convert automagically VB programs to C# and viceversa, so you can develop in C# and convert to VB later.
[08:18] <_jason> Zerro: python!
[08:19] <Blissex> Zerro: to do what?
[08:19] <prospero2005> I'm big on Java
[08:19] <wizzlefish> eXistenZ: I think gnome is slower, based on my results, but I prefer it (mainly because KDE won't install)
[08:19] <brandon_> salmiak: do the other players work? does mplayer not work for any of your movies?
[08:19] <mustard5> daryl, I'm wondering whether it still might work...was ATI working before?
[08:19] <Zerro> I am a Game Devloper
[08:19] <Zerro> ZerroGaming.info
[08:19] <_jason> Zerro: what language have you used before?
[08:19] <ignite_> does anyone know of a nice cool app that will allow to encrypt files, store notes, keep a journal and keep track of projects?
[08:19] <eXistenZ> wizzlefish, yeah, although the graphics are more sophisticated in KDE, it is still faster than gnome
[08:19] <Zerro> VB/C++
[08:20] <daryl> mastard5: was having serious issues with my game
[08:20] <daryl> mustard5: let me go check it though
[08:20] <salmiak> i haven't tried any other players. I don't have the correct codecs for totem ;/ And mplayer doesn't work for any of my movie files
[08:20] <mabus> Zerro: Stick with C/C++ for 'nix
[08:20] <robertj> bah, now bug #43426
[08:20] <prospero2005> have you installed w32codecs?
[08:20] <Zerro> So Visual C++ will work on Ubuntu?
[08:20] <Blissex> Zerro: for game development C of course...
[08:20] <|lostbyte|> How to specify which device to surf the internet with ?
[08:21] <Spitty> daryl, i'm not sure why your fglrx package is diverted like it is.  Unfortunately, i don't know how to remove diversions, so you'll have to wait for the xgl folks to get back so you can ask them
[08:21] <brandon_> salmiak: how long have you been using linux?
[08:21] <Blissex> Zerro: well, Visual C++ the IDE not, but there are close equivalents.
[08:21] <Spitty> chances are if you force the install of fglrx, you'll break xgl
[08:21] <rambo3> if you use borland you can cross compile , but not
[08:21] <mustard5> |lostbyte|, what type of connection are you using?
[08:21] <Blissex> Zerro: for example under GNOME there is Anjuta as a complete development environment.
[08:21] <Inazad> Anyone know ftp-ssl?
[08:21] <salmiak> brandon_, for a little more than a year...but i'm totally new on debian/ubuntu ;)
[08:21] <brandon_> ok, how long have you been using ubuntu?
[08:22] <salmiak> 1 day :)
[08:22] <brandon_> i see. no worries
[08:22] <daryl> Spitty and mustard5 thanks for the valient efort, i'm rebooting. cause the computer isn't running wow now at all... ugh
[08:22] <Zerro> I'll  look into Anjuta
[08:22] <brandon_> there are detailed instructions for multimedia. just gimme a sec
[08:22] <|lostbyte|> mustard5: One is eth0 router DSL and one is ppp0 dialup !
[08:22] <Spitty> daryl, wait
[08:22] <dyeaw> Hey guys, I'm having a problem where ubuntu amd64 install won't grab a dhcp address from either the built in Gigabyte LAN or a PCI Realtek 3139, knoppix live cd can detect them and grab a DHCP address fine
[08:22] <Spitty> if you reboot now, you may not be able to get back into the gui
[08:22] <Zerro> Also, I can't get my Wireless internet to work
[08:22] <eXistenZ> wizzlefish, maybe it is the time to switch to kubuntu :)
[08:23] <rambo3> zerro : card /driver ?
[08:23] <Spitty> because your video driver packages are currently somewhat broken
[08:23] <brandon_> salmiak: follow these instructions carefully: http://ubuntuguide.org/#xine-ui
[08:23] <Zerro> ???
[08:23] <mustard5> |lostbyte|, hmmm.havent seen that before
[08:23] <Spitty> if at all possible, leave your computer running and logged in until you fix the problem with the diversion
[08:23] <stpere> Zerro, what card do you have?
[08:23] <brandon_> salmiak including and especially the multimedia codecs
[08:24] <dyeaw> and I'm having the same problem with Dapper
[08:24] <salmiak> Thanks alot, brandon_ ! ;)
[08:24] <Zerro> I do not no it is built into the laptop
[08:24] <hermes7> Zerro: if you have the windows drivers use ndiswrapper
[08:24] <brandon_> salmiak no problem
[08:24] <|lostbyte|> mustard5: Ok ! actually i have 2 DSL's one is wifi and one is line..
[08:24] <mustard5> |lostbyte|, so what is happening when you browse?
[08:24] <|lostbyte|> mustard5: Thats what it used eth0
[08:24] <Zerro> ndiswrapper???
[08:24] <ompaul> Dapper is in the #ubuntu+1 channel
[08:24] <|lostbyte|> Zerro: yes.
[08:25] <mutante> damn, i tried to install from an Ubuntu 5.10 CD, using the "server" option, and it would always hang at "Loading module for Linux ATA", then i finally tried the regular install and it would also hang, but in the second i join here to ask it continued ,like making fun of me ;)
[08:25] <ompaul> !ndiswrapper
[08:25] <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
[08:25] <medialdesign> Hi, I need some advices to configure my laptop properly...  it's brand new and my hardware have some problems to get working correctly

[08:29] <NickCatal> does dapper use ndiswrapper? because if this type of buggy broadcom support is in Dapper it isn't going to look very good...
[08:29] <brandon_> salmiak: that damn thing is giving a lot of people problems
[08:30] <NickCatal> breezy worked fine with ndiswrapper
[08:30] <Zerro> Ya I think I found the card name
[08:30] <Zerro> InviLink
[08:30] <Spitty> medialdesign, have you tried the radeon drivers?  no fglrx, just radeon
[08:30] <Spitty> *not
[08:30] <salmiak> it's always windows stuff that create the problems ;D
[08:30] <medialdesign> I tried ati, radeon and fglrx and nothing works : everytime the same error
[08:31] <high-freq> InviLink....
[08:31] <salmiak> thanks once again
[08:31] <high-freq> now google that and should find a windoz driver
[08:31] <hermes7> Zerro: search google on "invilink drivers"
[08:31] <brandon_> salmiak: it's a good idea to keep it somewhere safe, like a "debs" folder, along with any other debs you need that aren't in the repos. try fishing around for it on the web. it's out there. it might be in the plf repos
[08:31] <mutante> hrm, now the installer hangs at "Starting up the partitioner 41% .. Scanning disks..."
[08:32] <Spitty> medialdesign, have you installed xorg-driver-fglrx and the restricted modules package?
[08:32] <mustard5> salmiak, is the link on the wiki page not working?
[08:32] <dushy> hello... back again with some more challenges :)
[08:32] <salmiak> mustard5, oh, yes it did work ;)
[08:32] <medialdesign> yes, I followed all the tutorials I could found on the forums, but still no result
[08:32] <mustard5> salmiak, k
[08:32] <medialdesign> someone told me that I had to recompile the core, but I dont know how
[08:33] <Spitty> you mean the kernel?  it's possible
[08:33] <Spitty> what version of ubuntu are you running?
[08:33] <medialdesign> breezy
[08:33] <high-freq> medialdesign: so  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  didnt work for u?  choosing fglrx  or ATI
[08:33] <medialdesign> no, i also tried it
[08:33] <dushy> well.. any one knows how to change the grub flash image? :)
[08:33] <salmiak> hell, the ubuntu community is just amazing
[08:33] <Spitty> is the inpiron 6400 a new laptop?
[08:33] <Ayabara> I'm having trouble installing the ati-drivers. have followed the howto, but fglrxinfo doesn't say anything about ati
[08:34] <salmiak> i've never seen anything like it ;D
[08:34] <brandon_> dushy: yeah, you can add an image
[08:34] <high-freq> medialdesign: also installed  xorg-driver-fglrx ?
[08:34] <medialdesign> spitty: yes
[08:34] <dushy> salmiak.. thanks for keeping linux .. ubuntu alive
[08:34] <Spitty> hrm... maybe you should try dapper?
[08:34] <brandon_> dushy: it's pretty easy. just do a little search on the web and you'll find the instructions
[08:34] <dushy> brandon.. how to do that..
[08:34] <brandon_> dushy: you can't just use any old image file, it has to be very specific
[08:34] <dushy> what should i give the search word in the net?
[08:34] <Spitty> dapper is newer, and probably has better support for newer hardware
[08:35] <medialdesign> ok... thats what I thought
[08:35] <brandon_> dushy: "grub splash image"
[08:35] <Zerro> http://www.ZerroGaming.info
[08:35] <dushy> ok i got it brandon.. lets see
[08:35] <dushy> can i search in google?
[08:35] <Ayabara> is dapper mature enough yet to be used by the general public?
[08:35] <medialdesign> high-freq : Yes all the packages are there
[08:35] <brandon_> Ayabara; yes
[08:36] <mustard5> medialdesign, I'm reading about some new ATI drivers for the x1300...have you tried them already (came out around April 17th?)
[08:36] <Spitty> Ayabara, excluding the weekly huge downloads, I'd say yes
[08:36] <high-freq> medialdesign: and the error on the xserver when trying to connect...what does it say?
[08:36] <medialdesign> Mmmm  maybe not...  I downloaded the fglrx with aptitude
[08:36] <brandon_> Spitty: weekly? how abot daily?
[08:36] <Spitty> i've only had it crash due to XGL stuff, that's the the pre-beta stage of development, I think
[08:36] <Ayabara> brandon_, Spitty: maybe I should've gone with dapper instead of breezy today then...
[08:36] <high-freq> ya...same thing... i did  apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
[08:36] <medialdesign> high-freq: No device found, No screen found
[08:37] <mustard5> medialdesign, these are ones from ATI themselves I think
[08:37] <brandon_> Ayabara: maybe, but you can upgrade to it
[08:37] <high-freq> and unable dri/glx/opengl  to test it out
[08:37] <dushy> brandon?.. what if i have more than 1 os?
[08:37] <salmiak> dushy, what do you mean with keeping ubuntu alive? :D
[08:37] <Spitty> brandon_: true, but today I think it was only about 10 megs
[08:37] <Ayabara> upgrade to dapper? tell me more, tell me more
[08:37] <high-freq> when your doing the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:37] <dushy> salmiak.. i meant .. thanks for using ubuntu :)
[08:38] <dushy> me too just switched to ubuntu... i am a first time user for linux and its going great :D
[08:38] <dushy> brandon?
[08:38] <brandon_> dushy: yes?
[08:38] <eXistenZ> what will the new version of ubuntu include (which is released in June, afaik)?
[08:38] <salmiak> hehe ok...well, i'm just impressed so far...with other distros, you have to pay a fee, and you still won't get close to this much support and help
[08:38] <medialdesign> high-freq: would it be possible that the data was wrong when I entered the PCI device for my card ??
[08:38] <dushy> what if i have 2 os and i want grub image for both?
[08:38] <Spitty> Ayabara, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/dapper
[08:39] <Ayabara> Spitty: thanks
[08:39] <Spitty> sure thing
[08:39] <Zerro> How would I get my windows XP to work? When I install it it say Grub error 17
[08:39] <_jason> eXistenZ: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/dapperbeta
[08:39] <brandon_> dushy: grub dual-boots multiple OSs from the same source, which is /boot/grub, so it doesn't matter if you have 100 OSs
[08:39] <dushy> yep..salmiak.. its cool. and this online help is even more cool for beginners like u and me :)
[08:40] <high-freq> medialdesign: dpk-reconfigure  should auto detect it by default
[08:40] <medialdesign> ok
[08:40] <dushy> brandon.. but i dont have any image yet in /boot/grub
[08:40] <medialdesign> so i dont understand...
[08:40] <high-freq> just press enter when it says PCI:00:01:16  or whatever it says
[08:40] <salmiak> I wonder when i'll be able to pay back for this support ;D
[08:40] <medialdesign> upgrading to dapper could fix it?
[08:40] <brandon_> dushy: yeah, but you will after you follow the instructions
[08:40] <high-freq> ya
[08:40] <dushy> salmaik.. no need to pay for anything to ubuntu.. :)
[08:40] <Spitty> medialdesign: possibly, but it isn't guarenteed
[08:41] <dushy> brandon.. what instructions?
[08:41] <high-freq> as soon as u update then rerun  dpk-reconfigure xserver-org
[08:41] <high-freq> as soon as u update then rerun  dpk-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:41] <brandon_> dushy: the ones you should be searching for
[08:41] <Ayabara> I will need to download the dapper beta and reinstall with a dvd, right?
[08:41] <mustard5> medialdesign, you would want to see if they use a different version of the drivers on dapper first I suppose
[08:41] <medialdesign> ok
[08:41] <_jason> Ayabara: no, you can upgrade straight from breezy if you want
[08:41] <brandon_> Ayabara: no, you just change your apt sources
[08:41] <_jason> ubotu: tell Ayabara about upgrade
[08:41] <dushy> brandon.. i searched in google image.. and saw some pics.. should i click on them ....
[08:41] <medialdesign> I'll look at it
[08:41] <mustard5> medialdesign, packages.ubuntu.com would show that
[08:41] <eXistenZ> will the ff 1.5 be included in the new version of ubuntu?
[08:41] <Spitty> Ayabara, not necessarily.  you can do an upgrade directly from Breezy to dapper
[08:41] <high-freq> i have dapper beta 6.06...and it uses the ATI instead fo fglrx which breezy used fglrx
[08:42] <_jason> !dapper
[08:42] <ubotu> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support :)
[08:42] <mikedep333> hey I know this isn't strictly ubuntu related, but using knoppix (a slightly old 3.9), when I tried to cp all the files off of an NTFS partition to a smb mount, I get the errror "file size limit exceeded." Any recommendations on how to resolve this while simply copying the files themselves?
[08:42] <ferronica> hi room
[08:42] <ompaul> Zerro, you got trouble there, have look at : http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[08:42] <Thug-N-Me> need to get cedega installed any help ?
[08:42] <mikedep333> I believe it means that a file was too big for it to copy normally.
[08:42] <dushy> brandon?
[08:42] <ferronica> is there any window theme available  for ubuntu
[08:42] <Spitty> ferronica, there are tons
[08:43] <_jason> ubotu: tell ferronica about themes
[08:43] <Ayabara> so simple... :-)
[08:43] <ferronica> and is there any program like SOULSEEK????
[08:43] <ferronica> jason: do u know SOULSEEK???
[08:43] <Spitty> there are file sharing programs, yet
[08:43] <Spitty> *yes
[08:43] <annex> Using the binary nvidia driver (7667) xmms and mplayer seg fault on me.  I can get it all to work sometimes by resintalling the nvidia packages but then on restart Xorg is broken and fixing it causes the seg faults to return.  I've noticed it mentioned on the forums, but not definite solution.
[08:44] <livingdaylight> hi, anyone here familiar with Tor?
[08:44] <dushy> BRANDON??
[08:44] <_jason> ubotu: tell ferronica about p2p
[08:44] <mikedep333> anyone know of any file size restrictions using CP, SMB, or linux-NTFS?
[08:44] <mustard5> Ayabara, hehe..living dangerously now :)
[08:44] <Spitty> annex- have you tried using the nvidia from synaptic?
[08:44] <ompaul> ferronica, leave out the extra question marks, rather than asking about a specific program why not say - I want a program that does job X and then see what reply you get
[08:44] <salmiak> dushy: pay, as in contribute ;)
[08:44] <Ayabara> mustard5: you only live once (probably)
[08:44] <annex> Spitty: thats what I'm using
[08:45] <Spitty> ah
[08:45] <dushy> well said salmiak ;))
[08:45] <bbrazil> mikedep333: keep under 2gb and you'll be fine
[08:45] <brandon_> dushy: yes?
[08:45] <mustard5> Ayabara, you could always install on another partition if you have space :)
[08:45] <lgc> Hi! How can I test my wireless card to find out if it works at all?
[08:45] <bbrazil> mikedep333: smb only supports 2gb, but cifs is a lot higher
[08:45] <mustard5> Ayabara, then you have choices
[08:45] <Spitty> lgc, what card do you have?
[08:45] <dushy> brandon... one sec.. brb
[08:45] <mikedep333> oh
[08:45] <ferronica> i want program to downloas mp3
[08:45] <Ayabara> mustard5: nah: I still have my xp install, so if all else fails....
[08:45] <bbrazil> ferronica: wget
[08:46] <Ayabara> mustard5: on a laptop, so I don't have space for 3 OS's
[08:46] <ferronica> what???
[08:46] <mustard5> Ayabara, k :)
[08:46] <lgc> Spitty, I don't know! It came with the machine (its a Dell Inspiron 6000).
[08:46] <mustard5> ferronica, try frostwire?
[08:46] <medialdesign> I also got a keyboard problem : i changed my keyboard layout and XKBD crashed... now, it crashes randomly and I can't change ttys with ctrl+alt+f?
[08:46] <snoopy11hk> ubuntu sucks
[08:46] <Spitty> lgc, ok- did you buy it right from dell?
[08:46] <voraistos> hey guys, i was wondering if there was an equiv for Microsoft Activesync ?
[08:46] <snoopy11hk> ubuntu eat my harddisk
[08:46] <lgc> Spitty, yes.
[08:47] <mustard5> snoopy11hk, heh
[08:47] <medialdesign> i think he never tried other distros :p
[08:47] <Spitty> ok. do you have a specific model number, more specific than inspirion 6000?
[08:47] <monomaniacpat> Can anyone tell me why x doesn't work after settting up twinview?
[08:47] <dushy> brandon.. i cant find any for ubuntu..
[08:47] <aeroshadow> i keep getting this problem when attempting to compile:
[08:47] <aeroshadow> "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

[08:47] <lgc> ompaul, good!
[08:47] <brandon_> dushy: just gimme a sec and i'll find it
[08:47] <aeroshadow> what should i do?
[08:47] <medialdesign> spitty : inspiron 6400.... this is the only thing.. its an Intel centrino Duo
[08:47] <mikedep333> I think I found out how to solve my problem: use smbclient 3.0.x
[08:47] <mikedep333> from a debian mailing list
[08:48] <dushy> thanks brandon :)
[08:48] <Spitty> not you, sorry medialdesign, i was talking to lgc
[08:48] <medialdesign> lol

[08:49] <lgc> Spitty, is there any command to find out the card name and such?
[08:49] <mustard5> ferronica, what is it about soulseek that you like?
[08:49] <ferronica> is*
[08:49] <monomaniacpat> aeroshadow: there is no makefile... have you read the install file?
[08:49] <ferronica> yes i use soulseek tooo for Xp
[08:49] <Spitty> lgc, try "lspci" in a terminal
[08:49] <Spitty> minus the quotes
[08:49] <ferronica> its better i get CD quality
[08:49] <aeroshadow> the install file simply told me to make after ./configuring

[08:51] <ferronica> soulseek  known as ncotine in ubuntu
[08:51] <monomaniacpat> aeroshadow: have you checked if there is a makefile now? try./configure again
[08:51] <mustard5> ferronica, there is also this version at freshmeat http://freshmeat.net/projects/pyslsk/
[08:51] <Spitty> lgc: that;s the one
[08:51] <Spitty> let me find you a guide on using it
[08:51] <M3ATW0D> anyone here delt with sunrays in ubuntu?
[08:51] <dushy> brandon.. just i have to select the image right?
[08:51] <M3ATW0D> i have a question
[08:51] <|lostbyte|> How to dhclient a specific ssid ?
[08:52] <Spitty> lgc, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[08:52] <aeroshadow> in the system folder there is Makefile.am and Makefile.in
[08:52] <ferronica> its better if u give me soulseek
[08:52] <mustard5> ferronica, install nicotine then
[08:52] <ferronica> is it same as soulseek
[08:52] <mustard5> ferronica, sudo apt-get install nicotine
[08:52] <dushy> brandon_: i have to click on the image right?
[08:52] <monomaniacpat> can't remember what they're supposed to be called, sorry.
[08:52] <ferronica> mustard5: ok
[08:53] <mustard5> ferronica, its a soulseek client
[08:53] <mustard5> ferronica, I have no idea if the client looks the same
[08:53] <lgc> Spitty, thanks. Now what should I do (you see, in Windoze I managed perhaps once to establish a wireless link. In Ubuntu I used to, but it always ended up suddenly. But I haven't been able to establish the link anymore). I use Breezy.
[08:53] <|lostbyte|> How to dhclient a specific ssid ?
[08:53] <M3ATW0D> anyone here delt with sunrays in ubuntu?
[08:53] <monomaniacpat> I imagine its just MAKEFILE
[08:53] <ferronica> ok its d/l
[08:53] <ferronica> mustard5: ok done
[08:53] <ompaul> ferronica, it is not always going to be the way that you want it to be, you have to figure out if your your goint to have to have "universe" enabled
[08:53] <Spitty> lgc- I'm going to find you a guide on using your card in breezy
[08:54] <Spitty> just gimme a bit to find it
[08:54] <ompaul> !tell ferronica about universe
[08:54] <lgc> Spitty, thanks.
[08:54] <Spitty> no problem
[08:54] <Sky0231> Hi. I have a Nvdia PCI vid card and I have installed the drivers, however my Xorg.conf file lists only the integrated video card, which I am not using. Graphics are not quick. HOw cna I fix this?
[08:54] <Spitty> lgc, do you need wpa?
[08:54] <M3ATW0D> anyone here delt with sunrays in ubuntu?
[08:55] <lgc> Spitty, excuse my ignorance. What is wpa?
[08:55] <M3ATW0D> please someone i need soem help, anyone have experience with it?
[08:55] <dushy> ok bye all :)
[08:55] <Spitty> wireless protected acces- it's a encryption protocol.  think WEP, but much stronger
[08:55] <mustard5> Sky0231, did you run sudo nvidia-glx-config enable after installing the nvidia-glx drivers?
[08:56] <ferronica> mustard5: it showing offline in bottom
[08:56] <Spitty> lgc, many networks use it these days
[08:56] <ompaul> Sky0231, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choose the downloaded driver ^^^ more or less equal to that one above :)
[08:56] <Sky0231> Mustard, Yes I did
[08:56] <mustard5> ferronica, I have no idea how it works..you are going to have to work that one out on your own :)
[08:56] <mustard5> Sky0231, k
[08:56] <lgc> Spitty, but what is it? Wireless Point Access?
[08:56] <ferronica> mustard5: but why its howing offline
[08:57] <mustard5> Sky0231, you used the pastebin before?
[08:57] <Spitty> nope, just encryption. your card will work without it, it just allows it to connect with access points using wpa encryption
[08:57] <voraistos> wap: wireless access point, nothing to do with wpa
[08:57] <Sky0231> Mustard, Ive used a pastebin site before, if you are referring to that
[08:57] <mustard5> Sky0231, can you pastebin your xorg.conf please?
[08:57] <gnomefreak> !wpa
[08:57] <ubotu> wpa is, like, totally, enable the universe repository, then "sudo apt-get update", and then "sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant".  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WPAHowto for more details
[08:57] <mustard5> !tell Sky0231 about pastebin
[08:58] <mustard5> Sky0231, ubotu should have sent you a link to a pastebin
[08:58] <Spitty> here we go. lgc, try this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=125150&highlight=ipw2200+Breezy
[08:58] <sp3tt> Where is my cd-rom drive located...?
[08:58] <Sky0231> MUstard, yes, I received it
[08:58] <Spitty> that should set you up nicely
[08:58] <lgc> voraistos, thanks. I'll check it.
[08:59] <Sky0231> Mustard, So what would you like me to paste?
[08:59] <mustard5> Sky0231, the contents of your xorg.conf file
[08:59] <lgc> Spitty, here I go...
[08:59] <Spitty> good luck!
[08:59] <mustard5> Sky0231, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:00] <Spitty> make sure you follow the instructions carefully, it can be tricky
[09:00] <Sky0231> Mustard, here you are: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13583
[09:00] <mustard5> Sky0231, thanks
[09:01] <mustard5> Sky0231, so does lspci command list your PCI graphics card?
[09:03] <Sky0231> Mustard: Yes, both of them. It lists my Intel Integrated one, and my Nvidia card, which I am using
[09:03] <mustard5> Sky0231, what model is the PCI card?
[09:03] <Sky0231> Mustard: GeForce4 MX4000
[09:04] <gnomefreak> lol
[09:05] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: are you on breezy or dapper?
[09:05] <livingdaylight> greetings, anyone here familiar with and or using Tor?
[09:05] <Sky0231> Dapper
[09:05] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: install only nvidia-glx and the restricted modules kernel package
[09:06] <Sky0231> gnome: Ive installed nvidia-glx, so far
[09:06] <livingdaylight> Tor anyone?
[09:06] <darich> how do I get fglrx working
[09:06] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: after that run the sudo nvidia-bleh.b;eh enable command
[09:06] <mustard5> gnomefreak, I'm not exactly full of ideas atm :)
[09:06] <livingdaylight> My installation of Tor is not working
[09:06] <darich> I've installed it but it continues to use the Mesa drivers :(
[09:06] <gnomefreak> mustard5: its ok i just did this one the onter day for a friend ;)
[09:07] <gnomefreak> wish i could remember that command tho
[09:07] <Sky0231> gnome: I know what you are talking about
[09:07] <gnomefreak> sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[09:07] <monomaniacpat> anyone here used twinview?
[09:07] <mustard5> gnomefreak, he's done that part already I think too
[09:07] <romenov> I'm back to bother someone again, how do I set my entire ubuntu to a belgian AZERTY keyboard (incl the login screen?)
[09:08] <Sky0231> gnome: I believe I have done it. I have only installed nvidia-glx, and then sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[09:08] <mustard5> gnomefreak, I notice it doesn't have a BusID in the xorg.conf too
[09:08] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: when your done run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xor and the first screen will ask you if you want to auto detect video stuff choose _no_
[09:08] <Sky0231> ok
[09:08] <ferronica> any one here using nicotine????
[09:09] <NightLord> When I try to install Breezy x86, I get an error on installing base system which says ***glibcc detected*** double free or corrupted
[09:09] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: after choosing no it should give you the right bus id #  than make sure you use the nvidia drivers than run throught rest as you wish
[09:09] <livingdaylight> gnomefreak, do you know about Tor?
[09:09] <Sky0231> gnome: The next screen doesnt give me any bus id numbers
[09:09] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: what screen are you on? the bus id screen?
[09:09] <Sky0231> gnome: I used sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg instead, because your command gave me an error
[09:10] <ferronica> any one here using nicotine????
[09:10] <mustard5> Sky0231, yeah thats right
[09:10] <NightLord> ferronica: what is it?
[09:10] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: that was the command i meant for you to type lol
[09:10] <mustard5> Sky0231, he made a typo :D
[09:10] <gnomefreak> sorry
[09:10] <livingdaylight> huh, is it an application?
[09:10] <Sky0231> No problem
[09:10] <ferronica> its like soulseek....
[09:10] <ferronica> to download Mp3
[09:10] <NightLord> ah, a P2P program
[09:10] <NightLord> I use Frostwire
[09:10] <Sky0231> BUt I still dont see a bus id, It just gives me a list of a bunch of xserver drivers
[09:11] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: did it atleast name the card for you?
[09:11] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: its after that iirc
[09:11] <Sky0231> gnome: OK
[09:11] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: i dont remember what comess first
[09:11] <ferronica> via nicotine u get CD quality mp3
[09:11] <NightLord> anyone got any idea about the glibcc problem?
[09:11] <ferronica> its not working
[09:11] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: you will know the bus id screen
[09:11] <ferronica> showing offline
[09:11] <mustard5> ferronica, http://nicotine-app.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?FAQ
[09:11] <livingdaylight> gnomefreak: sorry, aguess yoiu don't
[09:11] <mustard5> ferronica, try that FAQ from the nicotine website
[09:12] <Spitty> NightLord, you may hav a corrupted install or burn
[09:12] <livingdaylight> anyone here heard of Tor?
[09:12] <gnomefreak> livingdaylight: sorry no i dont
[09:12] <Sky0231> gnome: See, this screen gives no indication of what card it is whatsoever
[09:12] <NightLord> it worked on another PC though
[09:12] <livingdaylight> gnomefreak: np
[09:12] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: what screen?
[09:12] <Spitty> same disk?
[09:12] <livingdaylight> http://tor.eff.org/index.html.en
[09:12] <mustard5> livingdaylight, I've used it, but not anymore
[09:13] <ferronica> actually not connecting
[09:13] <gnomefreak> ive never heard of tor :(
[09:13] <livingdaylight> mustard5: i see. In Ubuntu?
[09:13] <Sky0231> gnome: The second one. ON the first screen it asked to Auto Detect, I said no. Now it asked for a driver. I just picked the nvidia driver, now it wants a name for the card
[09:13] <NightLord> also: how can I get a netgear WG111T USB Wifi adaptor to work in ubuntu
[09:13] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: type the name of card in there
[09:13] <daryl> mustard5 and Spiffy: i thought you might like to know the resolution.  was to rename xorg-driver-fglrx.postrm to a different file name, and reinstall/uninstall
[09:13] <Sky0231> gnome: done
[09:13] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: nivida MX 4200 or wehatever it might be
[09:13] <Spitty> NightLord, USB wireless is very dicey
[09:13] <mustard5> daryl, I'm impressed you worked it out :)
[09:13] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: the next screen should warn you about the bus id
[09:14] <prospero2005> lspci -X will give a busid in X readable form
[09:14] <ferronica> and showing listening on port 2234
[09:14] <Sky0231> gnome: ok, now its asking for the id
[09:14] <NightLord> will using the wireless drivers from XP with Ndiswrapper work?
[09:14] <mustard5> daryl, I would have been lost :D
[09:14] <daryl> mustard5: took a lot of reading : )
[09:14] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: what is there for you?
[09:14] <Spitty> daryl, that's great!
[09:14] <daryl> Spiffy: hehe thanks
[09:14] <Anton171> hello everbody
[09:14] <Ummmmm> heya -- I have a problem starting Totem ... it says that the video output is in use! (it isn't, there aren't any video apps running ...) ... anyone got any ideas?! System is running fine otherwise...
[09:14] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: give me the bus id they have there by default
[09:14] <daryl> mustard5 and Spiffy: now back to my original problem rofl
[09:14] <Sky0231> gnome: 1:4.0, which is what is listed for my NVIDIA card in lspci
[09:14] <Anton171> Manchester United
[09:15] <Spitty> NightLord, have you tried running the install more than once?  Have you tried re-burning the CD?  both are worth trying
[09:15] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: ok as long as they put it there not you
[09:15] <Sky0231> gnome: it was default
[09:15] <NightLord> I'll try
[09:15] <Ummmmm> Any thoughts on my totem problem?
[09:15] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: now contiune with the rest you can autodetect the rest
[09:15] <Sky0231> gnome: ok, thanks
[09:15] <NightLord> I suspect it may be the PC too, as every OS I try to install on it won't work, windows, suse, fedora, all mess up during installation :\
[09:15] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: the memory of card is up to the card i put nothing and it works fimne
[09:15] <mustard5> daryl, hehe good luck :)
[09:16] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: let me know when you done with it
[09:16] <Sky0231> gnome: ok, will do
[09:16] <AidyMole> Hey does anybody know why LaTeX color doesn't work? I have the latex-xcolor package
[09:16] <daryl> mustard5: ) woot so far its running right ; ) thanks for the encouragement!
[09:16] <Spitty> daryl, you got WoW working as well?
[09:17] <gnomefreak> s/fines/finds
[09:17] <daryl> Spiffy: i've always had it working, just running poorly
[09:17] <daryl> Spiffy: i'm trying to get the drivers working now
[09:17] <Spitty> cool
[09:17] <mustard5> gnomefreak, not very intuitive is it :)
[09:17] <speedsix> Hi can anyone help me with a Samba problem?
[09:17] <gnomefreak> no not really ;) but it works
[09:18] <mustard5> Ummmmm, just reading it now..
[09:18] <Sky0231> gnome: Ok, I believe I am done, after setting the monitor sync ranges it quit config
[09:18] <Thug-N-Me> gnomefreak any ideea about getting cedega working?
[09:18] <mustard5> Ummmmm, did you have a video app running at some stage?
[09:18] <gnomefreak> mustard5: that is the easiest way to pull the bus id for an onboard card it would be 1:00:0 or somthing like that
[09:18] <rysiek|pl> guys, got a problem here with sound: when user A plays some sounds through ALSA, and user B tries at the same momend play something through ALSA, user B gets "Device or Resource busy". But when a single user uses a few ALSA and aRts based apps simultaneously, all is ok.
[09:18] <daryl> mustard5 or Spiffy: do either of you know how find your monitor frequencies
[09:18] <gnomefreak> Thug-N-Me: no i dont use it
[09:19] <Spitty> daryl, google is the best way, i think
[09:19] <mustard5> daryl, either in the manual or google the monitor specs from online source
[09:19] <Spitty> at least, that's how I found my monitor specs
[09:19] <gnomefreak> darlkto find spec for your montier you will need to go to manf. website
[09:19] <Sky0231> gnome: Should I restart Xserver?
[09:19] <daryl> Spiffy and mustard5: thanks, i'm on it : )
[09:19] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: yes
[09:19] <M3ATW0D> anyone here delt with sunrays in ubuntu?
[09:19] <Spitty> daryl, my alias has t's, not f's
[09:19] <Sky0231> gnome: Ok, Thanks a lot for your help!
[09:19] <Spitty> ;-)
[09:19] <speedsix> Anyone help with a Samba prob?
[09:20] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: please let me know if it worked
[09:20] <daryl> Spitty: rofl.. sorry man
[09:20] <Spitty> no worries
[09:20] <gnomefreak> brb going for smoke
[09:20] <Spitty> it's easier for me to help if i know my name is being said in this window
[09:20] <digen> speedsix, what problem?
[09:21] <lgc> Spitty, wpa_supplicant is quite a meaty reading, and I already installed it, but still, if the interface doesn't work the software wont't either. Is there perhaps a simpler way to test the interface?
[09:21] <Sky0231> gnome: Wow, works beautifully
[09:21] <speedsix> Hi digen, I'm trying to mount a share on another linux machine from my Ubuntu box with a line in my fstab, which works but it's readonly to everyone but root. Share has guest enabled
[09:21] <speedsix> digen, my fstab line is; //10.0.0.4/myth /mnt/myth smbfs fmask=666,dmask=777,guest 0 0
[09:22] <Spitty> lgc: you needto install the drivers to bring up the interface.  once that's done, i think you could run "iwconfig" to see if it gets recognized
[09:22] <Spitty> but i'm not entirely sure, my experience is with madwifi wireless, not intel
[09:22] <gnomefreak> cool Sky0231
[09:23] <digen> speedsix, i've no idea what the options are for, fmask & dmask
[09:23] <mustard5> Sky0231, good news
[09:23] <ferronica> unable to connect nicotine???
[09:23] <ferronica> help me please
[09:23] <speedsix> in theory that should give everyone read/write access to the share
[09:23] <Sky0231> Now, next question. Im trying to install the MSTTCOREFONTS package, and I have added all the universe and multiverse repositories, but when I apt-get the package, its not found.
[09:23] <lgc> Spitty, I just migrated to Breezy from Hoary just a few days ago, so I suppose the drivers are installed and up to date. "iwconfig" says the interface is off.
[09:24] <gnomefreak> !msttcorefonts
[09:24] <ubotu> msttcorefonts is, like, sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts - you'll need multiverse enabled in your /etc/apt/sources.list first
[09:24] <mustard5> ferronica, you might try the nicotine support forums?
[09:24] <romenov> Could someone give me a hand with keyboard problems?
[09:24] <Spitty> lgc: try ifconfig <wireless interface> up
[09:24] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: please paste you /etc/apt/sources.list to pastebin
[09:24] <salmiak> i hate to have to disturb you again with my questions, but, is there any way to have twin view in the resolution 1600x1200? or do i have to use some sort of dual head? I got a nVidia gfx-card and twinview works at 1024x768 but not 1600x1200
[09:24] <Sky0231> gnome: ok
[09:24] <Spitty> you may need to sudo it
[09:24] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: alot of people mistake the backports universe and multiverse for the real ones
[09:24] <brandon_> romenov: what problem are you having?
[09:25] <Sky0231> gnome: OK
[09:25] <SuperK> Just had a horrible experience trying to upgrade from Hoary to Dapper and had to reinstall. I think I needed to go to Breezy first, is that right?
[09:25] <Sky0231> gnome: could I have that link again for the pastebin, Ive already lost it
[09:25] <mustard5> SuperK, for sure :)
[09:25] <gnomefreak> SuperK: you need to go one at a time
[09:25] <lgc> Spitty, I did. It came out with no message. But "iwconfig eth1" still says it's off.
[09:25] <romenov> well brandon, I set my keyboard to a Belgian one (according to the picture layout next to it it's an azerty keyboard) but it stays in qwerty
[09:25] <gnomefreak> hoary-breezy than breezy to dapper
[09:25] <Spitty> lgc: try to sudo it
[09:26] <gnomefreak> !pastebin
[09:26] <ubotu> I guess pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, a site for pasting long texts so you don't disrupt the channel - or install webboard in Gnome: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269
[09:26] <romenov> and I can't seem to get it to work =/
[09:26] <SuperK> So if I try to upgrade to Breezy first nothing *should* break then?
[09:26] <lgc> Spitty, sure. I did.
[09:26] <Spitty> ah
[09:26] <gnomefreak> SuperK: correct
[09:26] <mustard5> SuperK, it should go fine
[09:26] <mustard5> SuperK, is this a clean install still?
[09:26] <gnomefreak> SuperK: *warning* breezy to dapper can still break
[09:26] <Thug-N-Me> k3b complain No writable DVD media found any ideea ?
[09:27] <zelevw> ferronica: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=113571&highlight=nicotine
[09:27] <SuperK> Because X went south and try as I might it would not work..very frustrating and I am scared to lose everything once again
[09:27] <Spitty> lgc: hrm, well I think part of the problem is that in upgrading you breezy, you updated your kernel.  whenever the kerel is updated, you need to update the drivers as well, so you may very well have to install the intel drivers again
[09:27] <Sky0231> gnome: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13584 Now this may be a messy file, because not only did I try adding repositories by hand, I also used Synaptic, so there may be duplicates
[09:27] <brandon_> romenov: normally, that woulod be an xmodmap file
[09:27] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: i will fix it
[09:27] <SuperK> Just as soon stay with Hoary since it works now
[09:27] <lgc> Spitty, what should I apt-get then?
[09:27] <romenov> could you explain cuz I'm a noob =/
[09:27] <Spitty> i don't honestly know
[09:27] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: what does uname -r tell you?
[09:27] <Spitty> let me do some more looking
[09:28] <SuperK> Using AMD. is there any real compelling reason to upgrade?
[09:28] <serp> how do I get gnome-terminal's Open Link feature to work with a new version of firefox (1.5)?
[09:28] <Sky0231> gnome: 2.6.15-21-386
[09:28] <mustard5> SuperK, well Hoary support is finished I think, is that right?
[09:28] <gnomefreak> damn ok sky give me a min im gonna give you a whole new list
[09:28] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: please erase everything inside that file
[09:29] <Sky0231> gnome: will do
[09:29] <SuperK> I would guess so, but I just got Hoary close to the shape it was in before I tried this
[09:29] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: let me know when your done with that
[09:29] <mustard5> Sky0231, woah..thats a messy sources.list hehe ...hoary and dapper sources in there too :D
[09:29] <Sky0231> gnome: all clear
[09:29] <Sky0231> mustard: yeah, I pretty much made a wild guess at adding repositories
[09:29] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: add these sources to your list  if you want to paste use the white space near bottom http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666
[09:29] <SuperK> I don't have the heart to go through another reinstall in the same week :D
[09:30] <mustard5> SuperK, how much space do you have on your hard drive?
[09:30] <Tedd> d
[09:30] <Spitty> lgc, I think i found some stuff that will help
[09:30] <SuperK> older 10ghz
[09:30] <mustard5> SuperK, you could keep Hoary and install Breezy on another partition..then slowly make the transition
[09:30] <Spitty> go here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ipw2200 and scroll down to the part about debian
[09:30] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: after you paste that as your new list click save and close
[09:30] <Sky0231> gnome: ok
[09:31] <mustard5> SuperK, although probably just as easy to bite the bullet and upgrade :)
[09:31] <lgc> Spitty, I'm all ears!
[09:31] <romenov> brandon_ : is there a command like sudo keyboardmap to change it to belgium?
[09:31] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: now run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade    <<<just as typd
[09:31] <SuperK> has the upgrade to breezy from hoary *usually* gone ok for most?
[09:31] <Spitty> lgc: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ipw2200 and scroll down to the part about debian
[09:31] <mustard5> SuperK, check over this list of things to do
[09:31] <mustafu> I'm sorry, I forget...how to mount + read from NTFS partitions?
[09:31] <gnomefreak> SuperK: yes
[09:31] <mustard5> !Breezy
[09:31] <ubotu> Breezy is the current stable version of Ubuntu. If you would like to upgrade to it, the guide to upgrading to Breezy is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade
[09:31] <_jason> SuperK: went fine here
[09:31] <Sky0231> gnome: o
[09:31] <mustard5> SuperK, see the link from ubotu?
[09:31] <Sky0231> gnome: *ok
[09:32] <gnomefreak> Sky0231: pastebin any errors you get please
[09:32] <SuperK> nvidia driver seem to be the boogey man though right?
[09:32] <g0dchild> whats the developers' site for KDE?
[09:32] <Sky0231> gnome: ok
[09:32] <mustard5> SuperK,  its easy to fix if they do go funny...you know how to get on IRC from comand line?
[09:32] <SuperK> yes
[09:32] <SuperK> no
[09:32] <brandon_> romenov: run the command xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.br
[09:32] <romenov> sudo or not?
[09:33] <mustard5> SuperK, k..well you can install an IRC client like irssi and get to this channel from command line if you really get in trouble
[09:33] <lgc> Spitty, I see the driver is, in effect, NOT included in the kernel (I have 2.6.12).
[09:33] <|Sivik|> you normally have to do sudo to do anything
[09:33] <brandon_> romenov not sudo
[09:33] <mustard5> SuperK, you could fiddle with that now, if you want to prepare ahead of time :D
[09:33] <Sky0231> gnome: All's well, and the fonts install now
[09:33] <romenov> k done, now what?
[09:33] <daryl> mustard5 and Spitty: um i can't find the frequency online for my monitor because its really old.  the back of it says 100-204v~60-50Hz
[09:33] <gnomefreak> Sky0231:  ;)
[09:33] <Sky0231> gnome: Hey, thanks
[09:33] <mustard5> daryl, yeah..thats no good for you
[09:33] <gnomefreak> anytime thats what im here for
[09:33] <brandon_> romenov: you just loaded what i believe is the keyboard layout for your country
[09:34] <Spitty> lgc: right, but they're built against the kernel in use at build time, and so are kernel-dependent
[09:34] <Sky0231> gnome: OK, bye all
[09:34] <romenov> oh ic
[09:34] <Spitty> daryl, what monitor?
[09:34] <SuperK> I tried one night for 7 hours to get it fixed using knoppix and help from a guy on xchat
[09:34] <brandon_> romenov: what country was it again?
[09:34] <daryl> CMD4018D1
[09:34] <romenov> belgium
[09:34] <ompaul> daryl, are you sure its ppc and not 68k?
[09:34] <SuperK> still had to reinstall, not fun at all I must say :P
[09:34] <daryl> nmpaul: am i sure its ppc? not sure what you mean
[09:34] <brandon_> romenov: wouldn't that be a french layout?
[09:34] <mustard5> SuperK, no its never fun when it goes awry :)
[09:34] <daryl> Spitty: CMD4018D1
[09:35] <Spitty> ok, i'll too too
[09:35] <romenov> err I guess, but if I changed the keyboardmap to fr with a command someone gave me, not all the positions were the same
[09:35] <mustard5> SuperK, try a command line IRC client now if you like..to see how it works
[09:35] <poikol> HI! anybody knows where  can I download Kivio's stencils for free ???
[09:35] <Spitty> *minus a too
[09:35] <jikanter> how do I find out what system architecture I am running?
[09:35] <cjiph> how does the gnome log off button decide which program to run for hibernation from the log-out dialog? I tried playing with /usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate but it seems to ignore this
[09:35] <bbrazil> jikanter: uname -m
[09:35] <SuperK> what do I type in the CLI??
[09:35] <mustard5> SuperK, let me find a good one :)
[09:35] <SuperK> ok
[09:36] <mustard5> SuperK, try sudo apt-get install bitchx
[09:36] <jikanter> bbrazil: thanks
[09:36] <miguelsr> could some one tellme one good server to my amule? i cant conect!
[09:36] <brandon_> romenov: there's a few french layouts. there's .fr .fr-2 .fr_x86
[09:36] <mabus> what does /umode +g do
[09:36] <daryl> Spitty: even the manufacturer doesn't have anything for it
[09:36] <Spitty> hrm
[09:36] <mustard5> SuperK, hard to forget that name, bitchx :)
[09:36] <SuperK> ok
[09:36] <romenov> ic, could you give me the command again for the keyboard layout?
[09:36] <Spitty> well, 60 Hertz is a good, safe refresh rate
[09:36] <mustard5> SuperK, now type bitchx in terminal
[09:37] <romenov> it was keybrdmap or something but I don't remember
[09:37] <brandon_> miguelsr: http://ocbmaurice.dyns.net/pl/slist.pl?download/server-best.met
[09:37] <newbie33> how to get files from folder.rar?
[09:37] <theshibboleth> I added scim to startup following the directions at http://www.mrbass.org/linux/ubuntu/scim/. How do I remove scim from startup?
[09:37] <_jason> ubotu: tell newbie33 about rar
[09:37] <lgc> Spitty, what is the ieee whatever thing? Do I have to install it?
[09:37] <mustard5> SuperK, then type /connect irc.freenode.net
[09:37] <brandon_> the previous command i gave you, with the ending changed from .br to the ones i just pointed out
[09:37] <gteppel_> Is there a way to say that whenever a folder or file is created under a given folder that it is given specific default permisions
[09:38] <miguelsr> brandon_: i put this on server list?
[09:38] <newbie33> so there is no command to unarchiver rar? :) foolish :/
[09:38] <_jason> newbie33: did you read what ubotu sent you?
[09:38] <bbrazil> gteppel_: setfacl, requires fs support
[09:38] <newbie33> yeah
[09:38] <newbie33> link..
[09:38] <gnomefreak> newbie33: there is if you install it first
[09:38] <Spitty> lgc, it would probably help
[09:38] <gteppel_> bbrazil: okay
[09:38] <SuperK> yes got it up in ff
[09:38] <_jason> newbie33: that package also provides you with the unrar command
[09:39] <lgc> Spitty, it's not in the Ubuntu repos.
[09:39] <brandon_> miguelsr: you put that in the box that says "Servers" in the networks tab
[09:39] <romenov> none completely match :/
[09:39] <romenov> my -_ key is = and stuff :/
[09:39] <mustard5> SuperK, ff?
[09:39] <SuperK> ok, looks like bitchx is running to me
[09:39] <SuperK> firefox
[09:39] <romenov> err brandon
[09:39] <brandon_> romenov: that's about all i know about it. the only other thing you can do is make your own map
[09:39] <romenov> my keyboard is fooked now :p
[09:39] <miguelsr> thanks
[09:40] <Spitty> lgv: odd. you can get it here: http://ieee80211.sourceforge.net/
[09:40] <mustard5> SuperK, so you can see bitchx interface in your terminal?
[09:40] <root> yep
[09:40] <root> except my name is root now LOL
[09:40] <mnoebidus> i cant connect using Xchat in some servers
[09:40] <brandon_> romenov: you can run the previous script with .us to return it to normal
[09:40] <mustard5> SuperK, hehe..apparently you are logged in as root when you ran it :)
[09:40] <Thug-N-Me> how do i get 3d Acceleration for my machine ?
[09:41] <mustard5> root, thats a bad idea btw
[09:41] <mustard5> root, run it as a user
[09:41] <brandon_> romenov: you can also see the list of modmaps if you browse to /usr/share/xmodmap
[09:41] <Thug-N-Me> Your graphics card does not appear to be setup correctly.
[09:41] <Thug-N-Me> Please check the documentation for your Linux distribution
[09:41] <Thug-N-Me> and your graphics card drivers to ensure proper installation.
[09:41] <romenov> and I can apply them?
[09:41] <Thug-N-Me> sorry
[09:41] <Spitty> lgc: odd. you can get it here: http://ieee80211.sourceforge.net/  there are install instructions on the other page i linked you to, in the ubunutu forums
[09:41] <UberK> ok so I did that because????
[09:41] <UberK> If it goes south I can?
[09:42] <brandon_> romenov: sure you can. you can apply any key layout using the xmodmap program and pointing it to the location of the map
[09:42] <lgc> Spitty, I will have to do it the old way then...
[09:42] <Spitty> yeah
[09:42] <brandon_> romenov: i use it to properly configure my remote control using a custom map i made
[09:42] <romenov> ic
[09:42] <Spitty> but if it's not in the repos, that's your option
[09:42] <romenov> where's the prog at?
[09:42] <SuperK> ok, it does work then
[09:42] <mustard5> SuperK, running IRC as root can leave you open to malicious IRC attacks
[09:43] <SuperK> clicked off
[09:43] <mustard5> SuperK, yep :)
[09:43] <theshibboleth> Anyone have any ideas regarding scim?
[09:43] <brandon_> romenov: it's just a script that you run using the command "xmodmap /path/to/map"
[09:43] <mustard5> SuperK, so yeah..if you get stuck with no xserver..you know how to find us now :D
[09:43] <romenov> but
[09:43] <romenov> my spacebar
[09:43] <romenov> won't work
[09:43] <romenov> :D
[09:43] <brandon_> romenov: which is what you've been doing
[09:43] <SQuID> anyone up for some ISDN - ubuntu 5.10 questions ?
[09:44] <brandon_> romenov: if you restart, the default map will be applied
[09:44] <lgc> Spitty, don't you think it's sort of a not-so-trivial issue with Breezy? I mean, you never know your drivers don't get updated...
[09:44] <SuperK> I can get there even from that DOS looking text screen Iwas getting before?
[09:44] <mustard5> SuperK, sure can yep
[09:44] <romenov> I hope so :D
[09:44] <SuperK> you know what I am talking about?
[09:44] <mustard5> SuperK, yep..try it from there now if you like
[09:44] <SuperK> I need a drink :P
[09:45] <SQuID> :)
[09:45] <SQuID> anyone with isdn expirience? :)
[09:45] <SQuID> plzzzzzz
[09:45] <mustard5> SuperK, you can get to a virtual terminal with CTRL + ALT + F1  and back to desktop with CTRL + ALT + F7
[09:45] <SuperK> If I break my system again I am going to get sick
[09:45] <Spitty> lgc: I agree, but sometimes, there really isn't a better way to do things other than compiling from source.  The repositories have a huge amount of stuff in them, but not everything is in there.  If there's another way, I don't kow what it is, but if you're not comfortable doing it this way, that's fine too
[09:46] <mustard5> SuperK, the dist-upgrade path you took from Hoary straight to Dapper was always going to be disasterous though :)
[09:47] <Jku> SQuID, in IRC the custom is to just ask the question -- you'll find out if someone can help...
[09:47] <bobbyd> hi
[09:47] <bobbyd> where do I enable following of symlinks in apache2 under ubuntu?
[09:47] <ikonia> !seen ansic
[09:47] <ubotu> ansic <n=user@host-84-220-188-218.cust-adsl.tiscali.it> was last seen on IRC in channel #ubuntu, 17h 31m 56s ago, saying: 'i created hda6 now'.
[09:47] <BeLinux> AnsiC (n=user@host-84-220-188-218.cust-adsl.tiscali.it) was last seen quitting from #Ubuntu 17 hours, 29 minutes ago stating ({"Sto} andando via\").
[09:47] <ikonia> rats no bot
[09:47] <SQuID> i know, i just repeat it in case someone that know the answer joins after i ask the question ;P
[09:47] <lgc> Spitty, it's just that one gets used to doing things the easy (apt) way. It reminds me of my RH 7.2 days...
[09:47] <msl> can someone give me a md5sum or sha1sum of the latest dapper flight 7 livecd
[09:47] <ikonia> ahhh super
[09:47] <Spitty> yeah, i know what you mean lgc
[09:48] <SuperK> yep, you are correct sir
[09:48] <onthost> msl: check #ubutnu+1
[09:48] <theshibboleth> No advice?
[09:48] <onthost> #ubuntu+1 rather
[09:48] <gnomefreak> msl: there was no flight 7 and please use #ubuntu+1 for dapper
[09:48] <msl> thanks onthost
[09:48] <Thug-N-Me> can anyone please help me to get 3d acceleration ?
[09:49] <gnomefreak> Thug-N-Me: what video card?
[09:49] <brandon_> Thug-N-Me: have you got x started?
[09:49] <Thug-N-Me> 0000:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82915G Express Chipset Family Graphics Controller (rev 04)
[09:49] <romenov> brandon, it was .be :)
[09:49] <SQuID> k i`m off to try with wvdial
[09:49] <Thug-N-Me> brandon_ yeah
[09:49] <SQuID> cya
[09:49] <romenov> that one works :)
[09:49] <romenov> tx :)
[09:49] <lgc> Spitty, I'm going to plunge now in the documentation and see if I can get it work...i'll be away for a while...
[09:49] <SuperK> kinda firgured that
[09:49] <gnomefreak> intel i cant help with :(
[09:49] <brandon_> romenov: awesome
[09:49] <Spitty> ok
[09:49] <Spitty> good luck!
[09:49] <Thug-N-Me> type Mesa DRI Intel(R) 915G 20050225   manufacter Tungsten Graphics, Inc
[09:50] <Thug-N-Me> driver version  1.3 Mesa 6.3.2
[09:50] <SuperK> BUT is there any real reason TO upgrade if everything is working?
[09:50] <brandon_> Thug-N-Me: what happens with glxgears -printfps?
[09:50] <Thug-N-Me> brandon_ works
[09:50] <mustard5> SuperK, I think security updates for Hoary have stopped now
[09:50] <brandon_> what's the frame rate?
[09:50] <lgc> Spitty, thanks so much for your help. I hope I'll see you around some other time.
[09:50] <mustard5> SuperK, each version gets 18 months of support I think it is
[09:50] <Spitty> sure thing lgc!
[09:50] <Thug-N-Me> brandon_ 9092 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1818.349 FPS
[09:50] <brandon_> Thug-N-Me: you have 3d acceleration
[09:51] <KonphuzeD> any suggestions for an enhanced image viewer that will jump to next file , crop and such ?? slide-show
[09:51] <mustard5> SuperK, that would be the only compelling reason I can think of
[09:51] <Thug-N-Me> brandon_ cedega just run a test to autodetect 3d acceleration and opengl and 3d acceleration test failed
[09:51] <SuperK> ok, so getting the default desktop metapackages won't break anything?
[09:51] <brandon_> Thug-N-Me: don't trust it. it's certainly working
[09:52] <mustard5> SuperK, I'm not sure what you mean
[09:52] <Thug-N-Me> brandon_ hope so
[09:52] <SuperK> And I need to do that first? I just reinstalled two days ago
[09:52] <alien8> if it wasn't Thug-N-Me you'd be seeing 200fps...
[09:52] <SuperK> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade
[09:52] <Thug-N-Me> brandon_ someone told me that i need to do reconfigure X and tell it that i want DRI enabled
[09:52] <mustard5> SuperK, if ubuntu-desktop metapackage is not installed you will have problems yes...what other desktops are you using?
[09:52] <diederick_> hi there
[09:52] <Thug-N-Me> alien8 whys that ? :)
[09:52] <brandon_> Thug-N-Me: you can try a 3d game int he repos like tuxracer or foobillard and see if they work
[09:52] <SuperK> gnome is on here but I use KDE
[09:53] <diederick_> I remembered that using umask, one can set the default permissions flags .. but i rememberd how to set the flags so that a new file gets 755 ?
[09:53] <mustard5> SuperK, k..well you would need the metapackages of both installed for a smooth upgrade of both
[09:53] <gnomefreak> Thug-N-Me: you have 3d accel from what your fps give (although not a benchmark)
[09:54] <mustard5> SuperK,  where they removed at any stage by something you installed?
[09:54] <Thug-N-Me> gnomefreak ok thanks
[09:54] <Thug-N-Me> brandon_ thanks a lot
[09:54] <SuperK> Not that I know of, I just installed KDE after the reinstall and use it as default
[09:54] <alien8> gnomefreak: 3458 frames in 5.0 seconds = 691.508 FPS *with* accel :D
[09:55] <gnomefreak> alien8: yuck :(
[09:55] <brandon_> alien*: that's not very hot
[09:55] <mustard5> SuperK, I would just run the install on them again to confirm and then go down the rest of the checklist
[09:55] <gnomefreak> i thought mine was bad
[09:55] <alien8> gnomefreak: T41 thinkpad, ATI 7500
[09:55] <|Sivik|> alien8: you acc probably isn't on
[09:55] <brandon_> Thug-N-Me: screw cedega
[09:55] <brandon_> that's why
[09:55] <gnomefreak> ahhh ati
[09:55] <alien8> oh believe me it is :D
[09:55] <Thug-N-Me> :))
[09:55] <SuperK> KDE and Gnome install you mean?
[09:55] <|Sivik|> aliend8: how do you know its on?
[09:55] <alien8> just say NO to ATI kids
[09:55] <mustard5> SuperK, just the metapackages
[09:55] <alien8> |Sivik|: 50fps with it off? :)
[09:55] <Thug-N-Me> brandon_ well i would like to try cedega see how it works with doom 3
[09:55] <|Sivik|> alient8: that sucks for you
[09:55] <mustard5> SuperK, ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop
[09:56] <alien8> it's fine, I care not tbh - i do *work* on this lovely toy. keyboard+++ quiet++++ (just unlike a macbook pro...)
[09:56] <SuperK> ok, but this is just Ubuntu with KDE installed, do I still need to do that?
[09:56] <mwalther> how do I make my terminal look like its right on my desktop
[09:56] <brandon_> Thug-N-Me: then try it. it's not going to stop you from trying it just because its test failed
[09:56] <Thug-N-Me> brandon_ i will yeah
[09:56] <mustard5> SuperK, you could just look in Synaptic or Adept and see if they are marked as installed
[09:57] <gnomefreak> mwalther: right on your desktop? where else would it be?
[09:57] <SuperK> ok let me check
[09:57] <mwalther> make it look like I'm typing directly on desktop, not in a windows
[09:57] <mwalther> *window
[09:57] <gnomefreak> mwalther: what terminal?
[09:57] <mwalther> gnome-terminal
[09:58] <Spitty> mwalther, I know what you're talking about, and there's a thread on the ubuntu forums about it, let me go find it
[09:58] <factorx> does anyone know how can I bring my apple bluetooth keyboard to work without using a keyboard on ubuntu-ppc?
[09:58] <SuperK> kde base metapackage??
[09:58] <SuperK> yes
[09:58] <Blissex> factorx: telekinesys?
[09:58] <gnomefreak> mwalther: edit>current profile>effects choose transparent and move the slider tto where you lioke it
[09:59] <mustard5> I only just worked out you could drag the little icons around in the workspace switcher yesterday...I think that just so cool. :)
[09:59] <Spitty> mwalther, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81727&highlight=borderless
[09:59] <factorx> Blissex, I still have a mouse, if that is enough to get it to work
[09:59] <mustard5> SuperK, it will be called kubuntu-desktop
[09:59] <mwalther> thx guys
[09:59] <mustard5> SuperK, and ubuntu-desktop
[09:59] <ScreaminIke> how do i change my keyboard to dvorak from commandline?
[09:59] <ScreaminIke> (and back again to qwerty)
[09:59] <Blissex> factorx: ahhh that _might_ remotely be possible with a mouse.
[09:59] <firebird619> I have a TV Tuner card that has an FM tuner as well. I use tvtime for tv and I used gradio for radio. I wanted to record radio so I installed GnomeRadio, and now the sound in tvtime, gradio, and GnomeRadio is full of static and very loud although the volume is low. The sound for the radio is great in XMMS. What could cause this problem?
[10:00] <Blissex> factorx: well, in theory the kernel you have should have BlueTooth support, and it should all work.
[10:01] <Blissex> factorx: there is some kind of BlueTooth GUI apps/control panel somewhere, but I can't much remember where in GNOME. Ask in #wireless and #GNOME
[10:02] <SuperK> I see KDE desktop and it is installed, don't see the other one listed
[10:02] <EnterUserName> hi everyone
[10:02] <EnterUserName> How do i create a web link from th desktop
[10:02] <factorx> the question is, if this bluetooth gui is available in ubuntu standard installation (or live cd)
[10:02] <EnterUserName> I did a create launcher adn put in the url
[10:02] <EnterUserName> but its not working
[10:02] <EnterUserName> any ideas?
[10:02] <madmike> firebird619: maybe check on the terminal with 'alsamixer' maybe gnomeradio set line-in or somesuch too the max
[10:03] <mustard5> SuperK, the packages are called ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop
[10:03] <SuperK> ok, did search specifically and no, it's not installed
[10:03] <gnomefreak> EnterUserName: did you put what is gonna open the url?
[10:03] <sp3tt> How to mount usb?
[10:03] <EnterUserName> ??
[10:03] <EnterUserName> anyone/
[10:03] <_darksoul> well, i noticed somthing, ATI support sucks in linux, i managed to get it all working.. suprisingly.. but in games like quake4 and such, which is ported to linux.. the FPS is really crappy.. and i cant really control my char at times
[10:03] <gteppel_> Why is the default umask in Ubuntu set to 022 in /etc/profile, wouldn't it make more sense to have something like this 027 so the everyone permission is 0
[10:03] <firebird619> madmike: I have checked that already. I experimented by setting all volume settings all the way down and gradually increasing them, but that did not solve the problem.
[10:03] <mustard5> SuperK, both or one?
[10:03] <mustard5> SuperK, :)
[10:03] <EnterUserName> i'm not too sure how to do that
[10:03] <madmike> EnterUserName: I can drag and drop from firebird to the top-bar (you got to drag from icon on the left of the url)
[10:03] <_jason> EnterUserName: how did you enter the url?
[10:03] <_darksoul> also it seems like my 3d accel is not running as fast as it sould
[10:04] <hermes7> which ftp server is the best?
[10:04] <EnterUserName> brb my terinal window is messed
[10:04] <gnomefreak> EnterUserName: for example for the command in a launcher should be "firefox www.ubuntu.com" that launcher will open ubuntu.com in firefox
[10:04] <madmike> firebird619: In this case I'm out of ideas...
[10:04] <SuperK> Neither is installed
[10:04] <_darksoul> so would nivida fix the the accel problem or is this problem due to a setting i need to change, my specs are 1gig ram, 2.5ghz cpu, and 128mb 3dcard
[10:04] <firebird619> madmike: Ok, Thanks
[10:04] <mustard5> SuperK, what do you get if you put this in terminal   sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ubuntu-desktop
[10:05] <froud> what package must I install from a server base if I just want gnome and nothing else?
[10:05] <mustard5> SuperK, how many packages is it going to install/uninstall etc...
[10:05] <EnterUserName> gnomefreak: I did create launcher then i chose LINK for the type

[10:11] <voraistos> spencer; thx :)
[10:11] <gnomefreak> ph1_: what version of ubuntu?
[10:11] <ph1_> gnomefreak: The dapper beta
[10:11] <SuperK> kubuntu 19 new installed 0 removed
[10:12] <Turicas> why I can't talk in skype and play music at the same time?
[10:12] <gnomefreak> ph1_: #ubuntu+1 for dapper please   and make sure you run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:12] <mustard5> SuperK, hmm ok..
[10:12] <spencer> voraistos: updatebd then locate <filename>?

[10:13] <kIOski> http://nopaste.php-q.net/210693   solution ???? :-/
[10:13] <ph1_> gnomefreak: Is that the same as using the automatic update GUI?
[10:13] <SuperK> I only put kubuntu, didn't know if I could put both together
[10:13] <RoninGurl> Does anyone here own a Dell computer with the Symantec PC Restore partition/cusotm Dell MBR? if so, how did you go about preserving the dell MBR required to get into the symantec pc restore with CTRL+F11 and install Ubuntu as a dual-boot to windows xp?
[10:13] <gnomefreak> ph1_: yes
[10:13] <SuperK> like that
[10:13] <mustard5> SuperK, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ubuntu-desktop
[10:13] <madmike> murph2481_: If there is more than a single flash animation there can be problems
[10:13] <mustard5> SuperK, yeah..do them both together :)
[10:13] <Turicas> brandon_, ;P can I enter in skype network using gizmo?
[10:14] <ph1_> gnomefreak: Ok then I think I'm pretty much updated. I found someone else who had the same crash in ajunta, but his fix didn't work for me...
[10:14] <murph2481_> madmike anything i can do about it? so other people see this problem
[10:14] <madmike> murph2481_: i.e. Flashmenu + another Flashanimation
[10:14] <brandon_> Turicas: no, because skype keep its protocol secret. gizmo's sip protocol is open source
[10:14] <gnomefreak> ph1_: check bug reports
[10:14] <spencer> voraistos: i don't know what the package name for locate and updatedb is. it should have been installed when you setup the system.....
[10:14] <voraistos> i have dapper
[10:14] <madmike> murph2481_: Are Flasnimytion generally laking text or just with your specific url?
[10:15] <Apage43> GRAUGH!
[10:15] <ph1_> gnomefreak: Maybe I'll just try a stabe version of ajunta firt. What version do you use?
[10:15] <Apage43> Not cool.
[10:15] <spencer> voraistos: try sudo updatedb
[10:15] <Apage43> I want to play mp3s with amarok.
[10:15] <SuperK> 23 newly installed, 0 to remove, 0 not upgraded
[10:15] <Apage43> Why can't I?!
[10:15] <daryl> mustard5: how do you use a windows shared printer?
[10:15] <salmiak_> the configuration of nvidia tv-out errors at BusID. The TV doesn't start :(
[10:15] <voraistos> did, nothing. but i found 3 smb.conf
[10:15] <mustard5> daryl, I have no idea :)
[10:15] <daryl> mustard5: = P
[10:15] <Spitty> daryl, I've done that
[10:15] <mustard5> daryl, samba would be something to look at I think
[10:16] <Spitty> you running gnome, daryl?
[10:16] <gnomefreak> ph1_: the one that came in dapper ;)
[10:16] <Apage43> Somebody?
[10:16] <RoninGurl> Does anyone own a Dell computer with the Symantec PC Restore partition?
[10:16] <gnomefreak> ph1_: #ubuntu+1 for dapper please
[10:16] <daryl> Spitty: um, i think so.  i'm on Dapper.  how do i check?
[10:16] <gnomefreak> daryl: #ubuntu+1
[10:16] <DrBanzai> RoninGurl, One of my friends does...
[10:16] <murph2481_> madmike, someone in the dapper channel suggested I run: sudo apt-get install gsfonts gsfonts-x11 and it worked
[10:16] <SuperK> mustard5, should I do the upgrade?
[10:16] <Jku> Voraistos, not updatebd, but updatedb
[10:16] <gnomefreak> daryl: lsb_release -a
[10:16] <salmiak_> Is it even possible to enable "dual head" tvout with a PCI-express nvidia card?
[10:16] <voraistos> Jku: yea db like database ;)
[10:17] <RoninGurl> DrBanzai, do they have Ubuntu installed? If so, how did they preserve the custom Dell MBR when getting Windows XP+Ubuntu dual booting?
[10:17] <mustard5> SuperK,  you havent tole me what happened when you ran those commands yet :)
[10:17] <SuperK> look up :)
[10:17] <ph1_> gnomefreak: it didn't come with dapper :)
[10:17] <mustard5> SuperK, k
[10:17] <mustard5> SuperK, doh..missed that
[10:17] <madmike> murph2481_: Oh okay then. Then it wasn't the problem I was thinking of... thanks for informing me
[10:17] <gnomefreak> ph1_: type /join #ubuntu+1
[10:17] <ph1_> gnomefreak: ok
[10:17] <DrBanzai> RoninGurl, Oh, no they don't...I ended up just deleting the partition, as the restore software was only a 90 day trial...
[10:17] <mustard5> SuperK, so did you let the install run?
[10:17] <RoninGurl> I'm not terribly worried about fucking up once or twice since I have a Ghost image of the drive itself, MBR and all partitions on an external HD. So that isnt a worry. I just want to know the process.
[10:18] <SuperK> no, not yet can I do it with xchat open still?
[10:18] <murph2481_> madmike yea after running the package install, and restarting firefox, I now see the text in flash
[10:18] <RoninGurl> Mine isnt a 90day trial. Its the full pc restore thing fromDell for Inspiron E1505.
[10:18] <mustard5> SuperK, I mean did you say yes to the install of the 23 new packages?
[10:18] <gnomefreak> RoninGurl: language please
[10:19] <RoninGurl> gnomefreak, sorry. thast wasent meant in a vulgar way.
[10:19] <DrBanzai> RoninGurl, Ahh, ok.  Her's must be a lower end one or something, as it was only a trial...so I just uninstalled it, and it added the extra partition back to the primary, making one big partition again
[10:19] <RoninGurl> I'll stop though. Sorry.
[10:19] <SuperK> no because I had only typed kubuntu
[10:19] <SuperK> this is with both
[10:19] <viking_> guys help
[10:19] <jumpkick> how can I get ipv6 turned off?  when I do a "modprobe -r ipv6" I get "FATAL: module ipv6 is in use"...

[10:19] <viking_> newbie here

[10:20] <ubotu> [enlightenment]  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79155
[10:20] <viking_> need to access and share files with windows partitions
[10:20] <mustard5> SuperK, k well say yes to both installing
[10:20] <RoninGurl> DrBanzai, im trying to figure out how its a "90 day trial" when they sell it as a "replacement" for the windows xp media itself....i got the media from them regardless for free, but thats what they sell it as, so the 90 day trial makes little sense to me. are we speaking of same product?
[10:20] <hermes7> does anybody know a good php editor on ubuntu?
[10:20] <shylock> Hi i have a tft screen that should support 1600*1200 but the hoghest resolution i can choose in ubuntu is 1280*1024 any idea how i can fix this?
[10:20] <mustard5> SuperK, I wish I could see your screen :)
[10:20] <theshibboleth> How can I undo the following: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13590 ?
[10:20] <SuperK> can I leave xchat open while it runs?
[10:20] <viking_> anybody help!!!
[10:20] <mustard5> SuperK, yeah
[10:21] <SuperK> asking for Hoary CD to be inserted
[10:21] <viking_> can anybody help?
[10:21] <stpere> viking_, you could create a FAT32 partition
[10:21] <DrBanzai> RoninGurl, Uhm...well, I don't think her's was symantec, but it was definatly a way to do a drive back up, so that you could restore it...but it was definatly a trial version...
[10:21] <viking_> stpere, i can aceess
[10:22] <viking_> but unable to wriote anything to tat partiton
[10:22] <mustard5> SuperK, ok..well cancel if you don't have it
[10:22] <shylock> i use dvi if that matters
[10:22] <iNiku> viking_: with FAT32 you can
[10:22] <SuperK> I have it
[10:22] <SuperK> go ahead then?
[10:22] <iNiku> your windows partition is probably NTFS.
[10:22] <viking_> yes it is fat32 but it is owned by "root"
[10:22] <RoninGurl> DrBanzai, that's really weird. Hope they gave her a windows CD then.
[10:22] <viking_> iNiku, root.. owner
[10:22] <iNiku> viking_: oh. so you want to be able to write to it as a normal user?
[10:22] <viking_> yes
[10:22] <mustard5> SuperK, we dont necessarily need to do this really ...all I'm trying to find out is whether ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop metapackages are marked as installed :)
[10:23] <DrBanzai> RoninGurl, Yeah, she has a system restore type of CD
[10:23] <viking_> copy files form ubuntu to windows??
[10:23] <mustard5> SuperK, this was just a way I was trying to find out
[10:23] <stpere> viking_, hmm.. there is a umask option in the mount command
[10:23] <viking_> am a newbie to ubuntu and linux,,,
[10:23] <stpere> viking_, let me look for it
[10:23] <SuperK> no they're not, but to upgrade I have to istall them correct?
[10:23] <viking_> ok
[10:23] <mustard5> SuperK, correct
[10:23] <mustard5> SuperK, put the CD in and do then install
[10:23] <SuperK> so, might as well runit then yes?
[10:23] <Thug-N-Me> does anyone runs doom3 linux version ?
[10:23] <mustard5> SuperK, yep
[10:24] <mustard5> SuperK, it can't hurt anything to do it
[10:24] <theshibboleth> no one has any ideas how to undo what I posted at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13590??
[10:24] <iNiku> viking_: you can configure the owner, group and permissions for the FAT32 partition in /etc/fstab
[10:24] <mustard5> SuperK, its not removing any thing you installed
[10:24] <mustard5> SuperK, just adding more
[10:24] <viking_> iNiku, can u just guide me??
[10:24] <RoninGurl> DrBanzai, to tell you the truth, I've thought of using the Ghost Solution Suite my friend has for work and making my own system restore partition. that's what dell uses to make it anyway, it will just be a lot less crippled and be able to make real  backups when you want it to... not just restore to the dell EULA with their softwares all over desktop.
[10:24] <viking_> pls....
[10:25] <iNiku> viking_: what do you want? just your own user to be able to write to it?
[10:25] <DrBanzai> RoninGurl, Yeah, that would be nice.
[10:25] <SuperK> desired default display manager gdm or kdm??
[10:25] <iNiku> or some group of users? or everybody?
[10:25] <mustard5> Sunbug, kdm
[10:25] <viking_> iNikuno just me
[10:25] <mustard5> SuperK, kdm
[10:25] <viking_> iNiku, no just me...
[10:25] <viking_> am logged in as user "viking"
[10:25] <iNiku> viking_: then you'll want the filesystem to appear as if everything was owned by you, probably
[10:26] <viking_> iNiku, yes
[10:26] <Thug-N-Me> whats the command to remove a directory ?
[10:26] <Thug-N-Me> rm aint working
[10:26] <RoninGurl> DrBanzai, i just cant seem to find much info on this custom MBR of there's or how to preserve it when installing Ubuntu as a dual boot to Windows XP. Obviously this means dropping GRUB and using the windows xp boot manager, but im not sure of the specifics so i was curious if others had done it. ive got a full backup of MBR, partitions and everything else on an external system....
[10:26] <mustard5> SuperK, unless you actually like the gnome login screen :)
[10:26] <stpere> Thug-N-Me, rm -fr directory/
[10:26] <viking_> basically i want to use it as normally as i can
[10:26] <Thug-N-Me> stpere thanks
[10:26] <iNiku> in /etc/fstab you have a line for the filesystem. in the options field, add uid=<your numeric user id>
[10:26] <mustard5> SuperK, it seems your using KDE atm, so kdm sounds like a good choice :)
[10:27] <iNiku> after that, umount and mount it
[10:27] <viking_> iNiku, jus a sec.. lemme chk
[10:27] <|Sivik|> can i use gunzip -d to unzip a file?
[10:27] <DrBanzai> RoninGurl, Can't you install GRUB to the first partion, instead of the MBR?
[10:28] <iNiku> viking_: when you're done, your fstab line should look something like "/dev/hda1    /media/hda1   vfat   defaults,uid=XXXX    0     0"
[10:28] <RoninGurl> DrBanzai, im not sure. im not any sort of expert.
[10:28] <iNiku> the first field is the device, the second field is the mountpoint where you want to mount it
[10:28] <DrBanzai> RoninGurl, Ah, well, I know that when you install Ubuntu, it gives you 2 choices as to where to install GRUB
[10:29] <viking_> iNiku, sorry but am absolutely lamein this... i don get how exactly....
[10:29] <iNiku> viking_: you need to edit the file as root. sudo gedit /etc/fstab should work
[10:30] <RoninGurl> yah, but i still fear messing with MBR...because the coolest trick in the win98 bootdisk book is fdisk /mbr, but that is destructive to the dell mbr....which is just a regular mbr with the special exception of a black screen with a blue bar at top that says www.dell.com, and waits for CTRL+F11, otherwise it just zooms to xp loading bar.
[10:30] <viking_> iNiku, ok.. ca u pls wait...
[10:30] <iNiku> viking_: type id in a terminal to find out your user id
[10:31] <SuperK> ok done
[10:31] <SuperK> friend came to the door
[10:31] <mustard5> SuperK, ok..progress to next step in the Breezy upgrade guide :)
[10:31] <mustard5> SuperK, np
[10:31] <RoninGurl> DrBanzai, but that's what ghost images of entire drive are for....saves MBR and everything!
[10:31] <viking_> iNiku, ok my id is 1000
[10:31] <iNiku> viking_: a word of warning: if you screw up your fstab, it's gonna break your system
[10:31] <Thug-N-Me> how will i run a 24bit desktop ?
[10:31] <RoninGurl> DrBanzai, it would just be nice to get it right 1st time.
[10:32] <viking_> iNiku, phew thanx for the warning!!! but isn there any other method???
[10:32] <iNiku> viking_: don't touch any of the other files, just the one that refers to your fat32 partition
[10:32] <mustard5> SuperK, there are a couple of options for how you can do it..whether via CD, internet etc.
[10:32] <mustard5> SuperK, pick the one you want and go for it :)
[10:32] <SuperK> ok, internet
[10:33] <iNiku> viking_: not that I know of. there might be a GUI tool for editing filesystems and mounts, but I'm not aware of one
[10:33] <SuperK> everythings in readiness for that then?
[10:33] <iNiku> viking_: it's not that hard, just be careful
[10:33] <viking_> iNiku, ok i have the terminal open b4 me, my id is 1000
[10:33] <viking_> next....
[10:33] <DrBanzai> RoninGurl, Well, unfortunatly, I haven't had the oportunity to play with a Dell that is newer then Pentium 200...
[10:34] <iNiku> sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[10:34] <viking_> iNiku, am logged in as viking, not in root
[10:34] <iNiku> sudo is going to ask for your password
[10:34] <mustard5> SuperK, yeah..you need to change your sources now
[10:34] <DrBanzai> RoninGurl, Asdie from my friends, that is...but all I did for her was clean up the XP install
[10:34] <kung> hi, are there any problems known with nvidia openGL support and a recent ubuntu update??
[10:34] <RoninGurl> DrBanzai, well, darn, then. Thanks.
[10:34] <medialdesign> i really need help this time...  I'm unable to install applications : the add application wizard download the thing and install it but nothing happens.  Also, i'm now unable to switch from a tty to another with ctrl-alt-f? when i'm in GNOME and XKBD crashes at startup....  what would you do?
[10:34] <SuperK> ok, my friend needs to talk so I will be back in a bit
[10:34] <rverrips> Hi - I have a question about the future release of Samba4 - Will it be included in the "main" repo's and officially supported, or will the current Samba3-0.14 remain the supported version - Even more important will Dapper get Samba4, or stay at 3.0.22 for the 5 years of it's LTS??
[10:34] <SuperK> thanks for the help
[10:34] <mustard5> SuperK, hmm...I didn't check ubuntu-base myself....did you check that?
[10:34] <SuperK> ??
[10:35] <mustard5> SuperK, at step one :)
[10:35] <mustard5> SuperK, never mind...another time
[10:35] <viking_> INiku, its not accepting any password????
[10:35] <SuperK> no, go ahed so I can do the rest
[10:35] <SuperK> she's right here
[10:35] <mustard5> SuperK, k
[10:35] <iNiku> viking_: yes it will, the password for the user you're logged in as
[10:35] <mustard5> SuperK, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-base
[10:36] <viking_> iNiku, the cursor isn movin as i type...
[10:36] <Lenny1729> Does anybody know how I can find out what soundcard driver is assigend to which dsp?
[10:36] <viking_> Iniku, if u think am not upto it, just feel free to temme. don wanna screw up anything :)
[10:36] <mustard5> SuperK, how did that go?
[10:36] <iNiku> viking_: that's just so no one will see your password :)
[10:37] <SuperK> hold one
[10:37] <iNiku> viking_: well, if you can edit the file without touching any of the other lines and without deleting the file or anything, you'll be fine
[10:37] <viking_> iNiku, ok got it
[10:37] <viking_> the gedit is open..
[10:38] <iNiku> you see the line for your fat32 partition?
[10:38] <SuperK> already newest version
[10:38] <iNiku> paste it here
[10:38] <KonphuzeD> any suggestions for an enhanced image viewer that will jump to next file , crop and such ?? slide-show
[10:38] <mustard5> SuperK, brilliant..you are set then :)
[10:38] <|lostbyte|> How to dhclient a specific ssid ?

[10:39] <iNiku> KonphuzeD: ok, gqview won't crop for you
[10:39] <mustard5> arrick, its a server..hmmmm
[10:39] <iNiku> viking_: anything to do with fat at all?

[10:40] <iNiku> viking_: you said you can access your windows partition?
[10:40] <iNiku> how are you doing that?
[10:40] <viking_> iNiku, yes i still can.. the folder has a lock icon over it though
[10:40] <arrick> mustard5, yeah I just got done installing the gui the other day when i upgraded the server so I could set it up easier
[10:40] <SuperK> thanks
[10:40] <arrick> !pastebin
[10:40] <ubotu> rumour has it, pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, a site for pasting long texts so you don't disrupt the channel - or install webboard in Gnome: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269
[10:40] <viking_> iNiku,i change dit thru disks in administartion
[10:41] <iNiku> viking_: oh, so did you remove it now?
[10:41] <iNiku> the disks admin thing probably edits /etc/fstab
[10:41] <mustard5> arrick, k...well synaptic must have had the lock file activated..pretty common error :)
[10:41] <viking_> iNiku, u mean i disable the acess now?
[10:42] <iNiku> viking_: no, I'm asking if you did disable it
[10:42] <mustard5> arrick, can't have them both running at the same time
[10:42] <iNiku> because if you didn't, it should be in /etc/fstab
[10:42] <viking_> Iniku, i disabled the access now
[10:42] <iNiku> viking_: close the gedit without saving and enable the access in disk administration
[10:42] <mustard5> iNiku, I would suspect it just temporarily mounts them...(disk-admin)
[10:42] <arrick> mustard5, yeah I forgot I left it open when I moved to the other box, and sshed in
[10:42] <arrick> haha
[10:42] <medialdesign> XKBD is crashing... how can I reinstall it to fix the problem ??
[10:43] <mustard5> arrick, :)
[10:43] <viking_> iNiku, enable it????
[10:43] <hetauma> hi I have installed wine in kubuntu. How can I add shortcuts for it in Kmenu ?
[10:43] <iNiku> mustard5: possible, I have no idea about disk admin
[10:43] <iNiku> viking_: wait
[10:43] <viking_> ok
[10:43] <mustard5> iNiku, yeah..I'm pretty sure its just the GUI equivalent of a mount command
[10:44] <iNiku> viking_: doesn't the disk administration thingy have an option for you to set owner and group for the files?
[10:44] <mustard5> iNiku, you will still need to edit fstab or permanent mount
[10:44] <iNiku> the kde disk & filesystems does
[10:44] <mustard5> iNiku, the output of the moutn command should show the fat partition mounted
[10:44] <viking_> iNIku, no no such option
[10:44] <mustard5> iNiku, no such feature in gnome unfortutely :)
[10:45] <iNiku> sigh, ok.
[10:45] <iNiku> viking_: so can you access the windows partition now?
[10:45] <viking_> Iniku, after enabling the disk access? yes i can.. but not write to it
[10:45] <iNiku> viking_: yes, so enable it now
[10:46] <viking_> iNIku, yes i can access the drive, the disk-admin shows the partiton as windows vfat
[10:46] <iNiku> viking_: is there an option to make it permanently enabled?
[10:46] <mustard5> iNiku, no :)
[10:46] <iNiku> like, "mount at boot time" or something like that?
[10:47] <viking_> iNiku, no
[10:47] <iNiku> mustard5: you wanna help him out? I've never even seen the gnome disk admin tool :)
[10:47] <mustard5> iNiku, its not that useful :)
[10:47] <iNiku> sounds like it sucks :P
[10:47] <mustard5> iNiku, you were doing well with editing fstab :)
[10:47] <mustard5> hehehe
[10:47] <iNiku> sigh, yeah.

[10:53] <racter> i am not able to see youtube or video.google
[10:53] <nemlah> racter you have the flash plugin?
[10:53] <iNiku> mustard5: screw up /usr or something and things are going to get more complicated

[10:54] <nemlah> Anyone has a succesfull beta 2 install on vmware?
[10:54] <iNiku> mustard5: unless you want to talk him through fixing his fstab using a statically linked vi :D

[10:54] <mustard5> iNiku, heheh..I can't use vi yet either :)
[10:55] <mustard5> viking_, if it doesnt work we just come back and edit it again anyway...its not biggy

[10:56] <mustard5> viking_, ah ok
[10:56] <blank> zcat[1] , thanks
[10:56] <mustard5> viking_, which folder is locked?
[10:56] <iNiku> mustard5: actually I wonder if ubuntu even has a static vi. probably not.
[10:57] <nemlah> Anyone know of vmware issues in the beta2
[10:57] <viking_> my videos
[10:57] <viking_> mustard5, is it cos the folder is asystem folder under windows?
[10:57] <viking_> doesn really matter now.. but jus asking
[10:57] <mustard5> viking_, I wouldnt think so
[10:58] <salmiak> can i make the TV have a different resolution than the CRT monitor in "TwinView"?
[10:58] <mustard5> viking_, I'm wondering whether you should unmount the partition first then do sudo mount -a
[10:58] <Dr_Willis> salmiak,  yes you can.
[10:58] <viking_> yes i did unmount
[10:59] <salmiak> Dr_Willis, how? i haven't succeeded in making the tv work with monitor resolution 1600x1200 and tv resolution X :( how do i do it? ;D
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> salavas,  i did it with a lot of reading and twiddling with the X config.. and looking at others examples
[11:00] <viking_> mustard5, i did use the same commmands iNiku gave
[11:00] <Dr_Willis> salavas,  i dont even knwo where my working X config went to  for my tv out on this box. so i cant look in it to tell ya more
[11:00] <iNiku> viking_: that amounts to the same thing
[11:00] <alexandros_se> Hello, I'm trying to make a iMac revision.b, 6gig harddrive - 233mhz G3 - 192ram to run UBUNTU 5.04
[11:00] <Dr_Willis> salavas,  it took me some time and a lot of twiddling/reading/learning :P
[11:00] <viking_> iNiku, mustard5, yes unmount and then mount....
[11:00] <salmiak> but darn! ;( ;P
[11:00] <salmiak> i've twiddled, read and learned for maaaaany hours now ;D
[11:01] <alexandros_se> if I check the "device manager" almost everything is "unknown"
[11:01] <alexandros_se> and it's extremely slow... when I tried this on an ibook 266mhz g3, 2gig hd, 192ram it was running so much faster
[11:01] <dabaR> I think there may be a firewall turned on on my computer. I have ran "iptables --flush" and ran "aptitude search fire|grep ^i" and "aptitude search wall|grep ^i" and nothing shows up in those two. Any tips on how to find out what firewall is installed?
[11:01] <Dr_Willis> salmiak,  Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,640x480"     i THINK is what you need to twiddle with
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> salmiak,  http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=1071
[11:02] <mabus> Is there a terminal for gnome that uses less memory than gnome-term
[11:02] <iNiku> dabaR: what makes you think there's a firewall running?
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> mabus,  'rxvt' :P
[11:02] <viking_> iNiku, mustard5, u guys der?
[11:02] <Blissex> mabus: use 'urxvt'
[11:02] <iNiku> dabaR: sudo iptables -L
[11:02] <salmiak> Dr_Willis, if i choose "1024x768,640x480", I DO get the tv working, but it's not showing the "whole picture"
[11:03] <Dr_Willis> salmiak,  you wanting it to 'scale' the desktop instead of scrolling the 'virtual' screen eh?
[11:03] <mustard5> viking_, I am now yep
[11:03] <jmoncayo> ok i am compiling a program but it gets an error checking for pam header files in... no
[11:03] <jmoncayo> configure: error: cannot find the pam_appl.h file
[11:03] <iNiku> viking_: yeah
[11:03] <avinoam> Anyone know how to view eFax (.efx) files in ubuntu?
[11:03] <salmiak> scaling, or just having a different resolution, yes.
[11:03] <viking_> iNiku, mustard5, yes successfully solved
[11:03] <viking_> thanQ guys!!!
[11:03] <mustard5> viking_, excellent :)
[11:03] <JonBoon> some of the gs streamer packages wont install because 'unresolved dependancies' what do i need to change to get them to install?
[11:04] <viking_> iNiku, mustard5, thanx a ton... ur help appreciared ...
[11:04] <viking_> am leavin now...
[11:04] <iNiku> viking_: you're welcome

[11:05] <rendo> How do I change an environment variable for a program?  I'm trying to make it so SNES9x lets me load files from a different directory since it's not checking the proper one.
[11:05] <voraistos> rendo: maybe with fakeroot ?
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> rendo 'export whatever=whever'
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> or give snes9x the full path to the rom perhaps
[11:06] <salmiak> thanks, Dr_Willis, i'll research some more ;)
[11:07] <m6s> people, I have installed a greek parametirized ubuntu (amd64), and I have problems with the repositories, regarding gnome-app-install
[11:07] <thugren> Hey. Any one know what is going on with ubuntu and these pci-e nidvia drivers?
[11:07] <m6s> it reports that gr.ubuntu fails
[11:07] <zithowa> how do I get a list of open listening ports?
[11:08] <m6s> how can I change that? Rapidly? Efficiently? Any way?
[11:09] <m6s> http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy/multiverse/binary-amd64/Packages.gz: 404 Not Found [IP: 147.102.222.211 80] 
[11:09] <m6s> this is what I get
[11:09] <voraistos> maybe the server is down ?
[11:10] <m6s> yes I can figure out this :-) , how can I change the servers?
[11:10] <konstandinosk> milas ellinika?
[11:10] <m6s> Nai re patrioti
[11:10] <voraistos> m6s: in your repositories list, in synaptic ;)
[11:10] <m6s> synaptic is gnome-app-inst?!
[11:10] <m6s> ok...let's see it
[11:10] <m6s> :-)
[11:10] <voraistos> m6s: yea
[11:11] <konstaninos> what do i need to host ruby/rails on my server?
[11:11] <m6s> ...and I have to change them one-by-one????
[11:12] <voraistos> m6s: yeah, or u can make a script, but... change one by one, there are not so much
[11:12] <m6s> :-( d'oh!
[11:12] <m6s> I am so badluck!
[11:13] <crook> konstaninos: apt-get install rails ?
[11:13] <voraistos> m6s: there is certainly another way, but i dont know about that
[11:13] <m6s> :-)
[11:13] <dabaR> iNiku: my gtk-gnutella always reports it, and no results for searches. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13592 is list results.
[11:13] <voraistos> m6s; make sure to replace them with real good repositories
[11:13] <Dreamglider> Hello folks
[11:13] <m6s> Before I screw up my pc, as many times I did with fedora, can I install in someway sources for my packages and not alter in-depth the system?
[11:14] <voraistos> yes, no problem ?!
[11:14] <dabaR> m6s: that is not a clear question to me.
[11:14] <m6s> I mean, when I see a port of my favorite app, eg Mplayer, I grabbed it and installed, eventually after doing this months and months I ended up with problems from dependencies
[11:15] <voraistos> with apt-get, everything is just perfect
[11:15] <dabaR> m6s: you need to be conservative about what repositories you enable in sources.list.
[11:15] <m6s> I compiled programs that replaced later the rpm libs, include dirs and  I made it a mess...
[11:15] <m6s> if I download sources and compile them will this give me headache, for dependencies? (Assuming that the make install , went ok...)
[11:15] <konstaninos> brb
[11:15] <Dreamglider> i have a Logitech iFeel mouse with 4 buttons and scrool(2 bottons) now i want the tumb botton to "go one page back" in Firefox can i do it ?
[11:16] <dabaR> You should just use the Advanced Packaging Tool.
[11:16] <voraistos> m6s: no i tell u no problem with debian based systems
[11:17] <m6s> xmmm...and now that I have this ubuntu, when a new version comes out, must I run it over it?
[11:17] <voraistos> m6s: u just have to compile into a deb, then install, and then no need to worry
[11:17] <m6s> or can it be setup smoothly from net?
[11:18] <voraistos> m6s: i never did that, since i am new user. but updates can be done automatically. i suppose it is the same for the complete distro. or at least its easy.
[11:18] <rajeev> hey guyz, im using 82845G/GL [Brookdale-G] /GE Chipset and installed upuntu drapper., the installation was smooth, but i can see my 15 " monitor, doesnt occupy the entire screen at 1024 x 768 resolution, any soln guyz?
[11:18] <voraistos> m6s; just keep in mind ubuntu is easy, and that there is always a cool wiki or nice people here to explain ;)
[11:18] <rajeev> anyone came across this problem? Any links, will be very grateful
[11:18] <dabaR> !fixres
[11:18] <ubotu> Help to fix the display resolution is available at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[11:19] <m6s> :-) thanx god I have net, and I am here and ask ;-) cause I hate very much the fedora world

[11:20] <voraistos> people usually have problems with microsoft products ;)
[11:20] <dabaR> Rawplayer: ask the question, maybe someone knows.
[11:23] <konstandinos> when i log in it tells me about previous login failures - which file stores all this info?
[11:24] <mister_roboto> my wireless card (dell truemobile 1150) on my dell laptop worked with breezy but doesn't with dapper b2. is this a well-known problem?
[11:24] <zithowa> what do people use to sync time with a network atomic clock?
[11:24] <maxco> is there a devel channel of ubuntu ?
[11:24] <iNiku> mister_roboto: probably

[11:25] <mister_roboto> iNiku: i saw that but it's not a broadcom driver (pretty sure anyway!)
[11:25] <iNiku> mister_roboto: try the lspci command at the top of that page
[11:25] <paulb_> zithowa:isint it just the ntp thingy?
[11:25] <mister_roboto> iNiku: want to see the pastebin of that?
[11:25] <iNiku> mister_roboto: there was someone else here today with a dell laptop and broadcom card
[11:26] <iNiku> mister_roboto: no, just do what it says at the top of the document to see if your wifi is a broadcom chipset
[11:26] <AlmtyBob> has anyone here installed mythtv on Ubuntu AMD64? "apt-get install mythtv" is telling me it's a broken package
[11:27] <mister_roboto> iNiku: i'll look at that again. thanks
[11:27] <mister_roboto> iNiku: yes, it's not there
[11:27] <JonBoon> can someone send me the link about mulitverse and universe repositories again?
[11:27] <Rdde> i need a easy gnome ftp server for my ubuntu computer, is there anyone?
[11:27] <iNiku> mister_roboto: you might get better dapper help on #ubuntu+1
[11:27] <m6s> pls, explain me in a virgin ubuntu, how can I install mplayer
[11:27] <_jason> ubotu: tell m6s about mplayer
[11:27] <m6s> synaptic throws me problems with ....dependencies!!!
[11:28] <mister_roboto> iNiku: yes, thanks. i'm getting no response at all there. went there first :)
[11:28] <_jason> m6s: have you enabled universe and multiverse?
[11:28] <paulb_> Rdde:server or client?
[11:28] <JonBoon> can someone send me the link about mulitverse and universe repositories again?
[11:28] <m6s> I think, It reported me though I had double of these!
[11:28] <_jason> JonBoon: type this: /msg ubotu repos
[11:28] <iNiku> mister_roboto: heh, ok. missed your question there.
[11:28] <m6s> but I didn;t touch them , I just altered them from gr.ubuntu to de.ubuntu
[11:29] <_jason> m6s: can you paste the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ please?
[11:29] <osh___> is it possible to see which package requires apache-common when installing wordpress? I don't think it should be there since apache-common is a apache1.3-package and I already have apache2 installed.
[11:29] <konstandinos> what command lists my current network devices?
[11:29] <m6s> :-) I think I could
[11:29] <Rdde> i need a simple ftp server, anyone? paulb_
[11:29] <Blissex> konstandinos: thats a difficult question, but try 'ifconfig'
[11:30] <konstandinos> im looking at ifconfig now, can i use this to configure my server to work on lan as well?
[11:30] <paulb_> rdde: do u just want home dirs or anything u want or the whole system?
[11:31] <m6s> http://pastebin.com/704258
[11:31] <Sanne> osh___, I don't understand your question fully, but maybe 'apt-cache showpkg <packagename>' might help you?
[11:31] <Tedd>  Is there any way to revert back to a clean 6.06 install without a CD
[11:31] <m6s> I have it there, the only change I made was the gr. to de.
[11:31] <dabaR> iNiku: did you see my reply?
[11:31] <osh___> sanne: the thing is. when trying to install a package called "wordpress" it also wants to install "apache-common"
[11:31] <voraistos> tedd: in #ubuntu+1
[11:32] <_jason> m6s: you do have some repeats as well as some that are missing, why don't you use these: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047
[11:32] <Rdde> paulb_,  probably the whole system
[11:32] <m6s> :-))) if that works!!
[11:32] <Rdde> paulb_, all disks mounted in media (8 drives)
[11:32] <osh___> Sanne: I don't think "apache-common" is a valid package to install so I'd like to know if it's "wordpres" that requires it or if it's some of the other packages (like mysql-server) that has "apache-common" as a requirement.
[11:33] <m6s> Do I copy the brown window?
[11:33] <Sanne> osh___, if you're up to it, you can just download wordpress from wordpress.org and install it by hand. I'll always do it like this, as those are only pgp scripts.
[11:33] <paulb_> rdde: if its for personal use i would suggest wu-ftpd it should work "out of the box"
[11:33] <paulb_> just an apt get
[11:34] <yggdrasil_> hey guys can i get banned from downloading a torrent if i go too slow ? like 2 k/s upload... ?
[11:34] <konstandinos> Blissex: when i type ifconfig -a, i get 3 devices, lo (which i assume is localhost), eth0 and sit0. which one of these do i configure - is it eth0? its a very simple straigh-through utp connection from hub to on-board lan card.
[11:34] <paulb_> Rdde:and lett you access your root fs
[11:34] <Sanne> osh___, those are the so called "reverse dependencies" of apache-common, I believe, which you could see with 'apt-cache showpkg apache-common'. Try it. To see wht's in apache-common, you could look at packages.ubuntu.com.
[11:34] <Rdde> paulb_, easy to set up?
[11:34] <Blissex> konstandinos: 'eth0' indeed. 'man 5 interfaces'
[11:34] <voraistos> yggdrasil: yea, completly. u need at least 10k upload
[11:34] <konstandinos> thanks
[11:34] <yggdrasil_> dam.
[11:34] <dabaR> osh___: sudo apt-cache showpkg <pkgname> shows a lot of info about the <pkgname> along with depends.
[11:34] <Jayjay> hi
[11:35] <paulb_> rdde: out of the box
[11:35] <paulb_> just install the wuftpd package
[11:35] <osh___> Sanne: thats it. thanks.
[11:35] <m6s> _jason, I selected mplayer, but adds a new repository....cool?
[11:35] <yggdrasil_> dam im on a stolen wireless so i kept it down.
[11:35] <Sanne> osh___, you're welcome
[11:35] <dabaR> yggdrasil_: pah
[11:35] <Jayjay> anybody knows how to install XGL on dapper ?

[11:37] <darich> it's running my Xvid files pretty damn good
[11:37] <m6s> and now gave me this(!) http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy/multiverse/binary-amd64/Packages.gz: Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)
[11:37] <dabaR> m6s: did you have a fedora install, and upgraded that to Ubuntu?
[11:37] <m6s> NO!
[11:37] <m6s> :-)
[11:37] <djrandom> can someone please help me with making a shortcut in the menu to run openvpn --config etc etc
[11:37] <dabaR> m6s: ok.
[11:37] <m6s> :-)
[11:38] <dabaR> djrandom: did you try putting "" around the command?
[11:38] <m6s> please I didn't call you nasty words :-P
[11:38] <darich> *doesn't think much of the ATI control panel in Linux...*
[11:38] <m6s> Now returns me that W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy/multiverse Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_multiverse_binary-amd64_Packages)
[11:38] <djrandom> dabaR: cant say i did
[11:38] <dabaR> m6s: do you know how to edit files?
[11:38] <Rdde> paulb_, how do i launche it? config it?
[11:38] <Pluk> djrandom, you could make a bashscript to run that command, and then make a shortcut to your script
[11:39] <djrandom> dabaR: this is what i have atm. gksu cd /home/tom/OpenVpn && openvpn --config VAIO-to-IPCop.ovpn
[11:39] <m6s> dabaR, vim, dd dd dd, <i> paste the thing, :w! :-) anyway right now I am installing Mplayer(?)
[11:39] <m6s> after some ok....
[11:39] <djrandom> Pluk: good call :)
[11:40] <paulb_> rdde: i use webmin to config. it should start after its installed
[11:40] <djrandom> dabaR: the command im currently using doesnt work (obviously, else i wouldnt be asking :P) its just opens a terminal window and then dies
[11:40] <Rdde> it didn't
[11:40] <Rdde> paulb_,
[11:40] <dabaR> djrandom: if you run it in a terminal it runs fine?
[11:41] <konstandinos> is netmask addr the same as subnet mask?
[11:41] <dabaR> yes
[11:41] <konstandinos> ta
[11:41] <m6s> _jason, thank you for your help it seems that mplayer comes to mama
[11:41] <m6s> :-)
[11:41] <paulb_> rdde: umm then try restarting. i installed it a while ago.
[11:41] <_jason> m6s: great
[11:41] <djrandom> dabaR: in a terminal i would usually cd to the config directory and then run sudo openvpn --config VAIO-to-IPCop.ovpn which works fine and prompts me for the private key p/w
[11:41] <dabaR> m6s: make your /etc/apt/sources.list look like http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11487
[11:41] <Rdde> paulb_,  restarting? =S
[11:41] <m6s> is this good place for 64bit questions?
[11:42] <pingveno> I'm trying to share a subversion repository between Windows and Linux via a FAT partition, but the commit fails on Linux because chmod doesn't work on FAT systems. How would I get a work around?
[11:42] <pingveno> The error is: svn: Can't chmod '/mnt/shared/SVN/db/transactions/19-1.txn/rev': Operation not permitted
[11:42] <m6s> thank you dabaR
[11:42] <_jason> pingveno: maybe use ext2 and use get the driver for windows
[11:42] <Rdde> paulb_,  it doesn't look like it is running
[11:42] <m6s> anyone with experience on amd64 here?
[11:43] <pingveno> ug
[11:43] <Rdde> anyone knows how do config wu-ftpd?
[11:43] <dabaR> /home/tom/OpenVpn/openvpn --config VAIO-to-IPCop.ovpn is the command from anywhere in the temrinal then.
[11:43] <pingveno> I guess I can try that out...
[11:43] <arrick> what is the gnome-desktop package name?
[11:43] <dabaR> ubuntu-desktop
[11:43] <arrick> thanks dabaR
[11:43] <djrandom> dabaR: yes, thats correct
[11:43] <konstandinos> surely there is a clever easy to use program for ubuntu noobs to help me configure my network connection?
[11:43] <dabaR> $20 arrick
[11:44] <arrick> haha
[11:44] <fubarzt> I'm undecided on which distribution to use, I've narrowed it down to two, Gentoo and Ubuntu. Could someone please tell me 5 pro's and 5 con's of using Ubuntu?
[11:44] <djrandom> dabaR: actually, that doesnt work too well
[11:44] <arrick> dabaR, i had a fit getting this thing back on the internet the other night
[11:44] <djrandom> as openvpn does not lie within that folder, only the config file does
[11:45] <dabaR> arrick: hehe. Did you get it back?
[11:45] <dabaR> SOrry I had to leave, eh?
[11:45] <arrick> yeah
[11:45] <mustard5> fubartz, I would think the pro's are listed on the ubuntu website :)
[11:45] <m6s> whao! 64 and jeniffer lopez, match smoothly ;-)
[11:45] <arrick> dabaR, in the resolv.conf file, the  ; at the end was the problem
[11:45] <arrick> haha
[11:45] <fubarzt> mustard5: well, how about some cons?
[11:45] <dabaR> arrick: I knew it.
[11:46] <arrick> dabaR, then why didnt you fix it HEHEHEHAHAHAH :^)
[11:46] <dabaR> I did. I don't get it how it did not work.
[11:47] <mustard5> fubarzt, I'm flat out think of any atm
[11:47] <Mitsurugi> can some one help me with the xserver reconfigure command
[11:47] <arrick> I removed them after you logged out, and it came right back online
[11:47] <arrick> but had someone tell me what to do
[11:47] <arrick> hah
[11:47] <m6s> is ubuntu ready to play movies for 5.1???
[11:47] <dabaR> djrandom: gksudo openvpn --config /home/tom/OpenVpn/VAIO-to-IPCop.ovpn
[11:47] <mustard5> fubarzt, it depends on what you are looking for in a distro
[11:47] <m6s> alsa and redhat gave me pain !!!!
[11:48] <arrick> I was badmouthing you though, and I am sorry about it, I told _jason you borked my system, haha
[11:48] <paulb_> Rdde: actually u might tru vsftpd.
[11:48] <paulb_> try
[11:48] <dabaR> arrick: hehe
[11:48] <djrandom> dabaR: it doesnt like that as it cannot locate the p12 file (which is in the same loco as the config file)
[11:48] <djrandom> hence the cd to the dir containing both
[11:49] <mustard5> fubarzt, you call it 'bloat' if you like a streamlined linux install tailored to your particular needs.  Ah...the integration of Firefox into Ubuntu is a bit annoying...updating to the latest version of firefox is not straightforward
[11:49] <arrick> dabaR, I was thinking I had to reinstall the dablamed thing before it was over
[11:49] <fubarzt> Yeah, I think I'm going to head back to Gentoo, Ubuntu is just too... Default?
[11:49] <zelevw> hi...how can i use ssh to tunnel to a computer and from there vnc to another? thank you.
[11:49] <dabaR> for you?
[11:50] <fubarzt> Default really isn't the word, but whatever :P
[11:50] <Mitsurugi> doesn gentoo send out free cds?
[11:50] <ebb> hi
[11:50] <mustard5> fubarzt, well this is true...gentoo you get to make it the way you want it
[11:50] <dabaR> mustard5: you can make Ubuntu too.
[11:50] <fubarzt> Yeah, that's what I'm really looking for, however I'd like to make it work easier then Gentoo provides :P
[11:50] <dabaR> Almost.
[11:50] <Seveas> @config channel plugins.bantracker.enabled True
[11:50] <mustard5> fubarzt, you could do the same with a debian install from the basics though
[11:50] <ebb> is tthere a possibility to launch the text installer from the live cd (drapper beta)
[11:51] <dabaR> ebb: as in not the espresso?
[11:51] <mustard5> dabaR, yeah..I'm struggling to find reasons for not liking ubuntu ..but I thought I would try to rise to the challenge :)
[11:51] <ebb> yes
[11:51] <djrandom> dabaR: this works perfectly from the command line: cd /home/tom/OpenVpn && sudo openvpn --config VAIO-TO-IPCop.ovpn
[11:51] <ebb> cause espresso crashes
[11:51] <apokryphos> ebb: please join #ubuntu+1
[11:51] <dabaR> djrandom: post the error you get to #flood
[11:52] <dabaR> from the last command I gave you.
[11:52] <Rdde> im getting sick at this, isn't there a simple ftp server for ubuntu? gnome editable? please ?
[11:52] <djrandom> dabaR: no error im afraid, i jsut get a terminal window and then it dies
[11:52] <dabaR> djrandom: from gksudo openvpn --config /home/tom/OpenVpn/VAIO-to-IPCop.ovpn
[11:52] <djrandom> it should prompt you for the private key p/w if its running correctly
[11:52] <dabaR> djrandom: I am telling you to run that in a terminal.
[11:53] <djrandom> dabaR: it doesnt like that; surely i cant run gksu from the command line?
[11:54] <dabaR> djrandom: do you get an error?
[11:54] <djrandom> dabaR: as gksu complains that --config is an unrecognised option
[11:54] <stevr1it2> hi
[11:54] <dabaR> I don't see gksu in my line. Paste my line into a terminal window.
[11:54] <dabaR> gksudo openvpn --config /home/tom/OpenVpn/VAIO-to-IPCop.ovpn
[11:55] <stevr1it2> i have some problem with the server x with ubuntu breeeze gnome
[11:55] <djrandom> dabaR: is gksu different to gksudo?
[11:55] <stevr1it2> it says that is msconfigured
[11:55] <dabaR> stevr1it2: well, I do not know. Run that line, and tell me the error, if you will.
[11:55] <stevr1it2> ok
[11:55] <apokryphos> djrandom: gksudo is a patched gksu to use sudo, though the one on ubuntu I think is patched to symlink to gksudo anyway
[11:55] <dabaR> stevr1it2: soirry, that was not a message for you.
[11:55] <stevr1it2> it says theat the server x is disabilitated
[11:56] <konstandinos> hey guys how come i dont have a /etc/resolv.conf file?
[11:56] <dabaR> djrandom: well, I do not know. Run that line, and tell me the error, if you will.
[11:56] <djrandom> dabaR: even with gksudo, it complains that --config is not a recongised gksudo option
[11:56] <konstandinos> ive got the folder /etc/resolvconf/ however
[11:56] <dabaR> stevr1it2: when you start up your system, you get that error and then a console terminal, X does not start?
[11:56] <Pluk> gksudo does not like switches
[11:56] <stevr1it2> ys
[11:56] <stevr1it2> yes
[11:56] <konstandinos> (i need to specify my DNS settings - and the tutorial says i need to edit resolv.conf)
[11:56] <stevr1it2> it says taht
[11:56] <dabaR> djrandom: post the whole error, starting with the command line, to p#flood, please.
[11:56] <stevr1it2> is corrupted or misconfigured
[11:56] <dabaR> stevr1it2: did you try running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:57] <ryu> hi, is it possible, that the dapper package "subversion" is broken at the moment?
[11:57] <djrandom> dabaR: pasted
[11:57] <stevr1it2> yes it says that is miscofigured or corrupted
[11:57] <pbx> ryu: I installed svn 1 or two days ago, no problems...
[11:57] <dabaR> konstandinos: why do you need to specify your own DNS settings? If you don't have the file, it is "sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf" away.
[11:57] <Pluk> djrandom, dabaR forman gksudo:        Note that <command> and all its arguments should be passed as one  sin
[11:57] <Pluk>        gle argument to gksu just like one would to when using su.
[11:57] <stevr1it2> it says that is broken or not compeltely instaleld
[11:57] <stevr1it2> not fully installed
[11:57] <ryu> pbx: i got a new version today, and now it dont want to co http links
[11:58] <pbx> what's the error?
[11:58] <stevr1it2> dabaR
[11:58] <stevr1it2> what can i do?
[11:58] <konstandinos> dabar: im basically looking at how my laptop is configured to work on my network (here at work) and it specifies dns, so i'm just replicating the settings on my linux box (adjusted the ip address)
[11:58] <dabaR> sudo aptitude -f install, stevr1it2
[11:58] <ryu> pbx: svn: Unrecognized URL scheme for $url
[11:58] <dabaR> that will repair any broken packages.
[11:58] <stevr1it2> ok wait
[11:58] <zelevw> hi...how can i use ssh to tunnel to a computer and from there vnc to another? is this possible?  thank you.
[11:58] <ryu> pbx: and im pretty shure that the urls work
[11:59] <dabaR> stevr1it2: when it shows you the list of packages that will be removed, sae that somewhere, so you can reinstall them after.
[11:59] <Pluk> djrandom, add the openvpn command to a bash script and use gksudo to open the script, that prolly will work
[11:59] <djrandom> Pluk: ok, ill give that a go :) brb
[11:59] <pbx> ryu: Odd. I've been using it over http, no problems. I did a straight apt-get install. I think 1.3
[11:59] <stevr1it2> it is working and istalling
[11:59] <aLPHa_LeaK> n8
[11:59] <stevr1it2> ok now?
