[12:03] <kkman> h6w, terminal as well
[12:03] <h6w> kkman, if you do an iwconfig what do you get?
[12:03] <KenSentMe> JanHammer: huh?

[12:03] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:03] <JanHammer> KenSentMe, it didn't do anything after I changed, it still says 85 on the settings, and only allows that
[12:03] <rigonatti> do3es anyone know the url to get a auto mount disk script ?
[12:03] <JanHammer> which is odd.
[12:03] <kkman> h6w, "Access Point not associated"
[12:04] <KenSentMe> JanHammer: maybe check the message from ubotu
[12:04] <kkman> h6w, other then taht it seems OK
[12:04] <Spy> does any1 know about good text editors besides gedit, for gnome editing of php fils
[12:04] <h6w> kkman, ok so your wifi card is working, it's just that it's not associating.
[12:04] <JanHammer> KenSentMe, huh? what message?
[12:04] <rigonatti> !disk

[12:04] <ubotu> I know nothing about diskmount
[12:04] <gray> spy: i've heard a lot of good things about 'bluefish' for php
[12:04] <rigonatti> does anyone know the url to get a auto mount disk script ?
[12:04] <KenSentMe> JanHammer: that one
[12:05] <kkman> h6w, if i remove wpa from the access point i have wifi connectivity 100%
[12:05] <h6w> kkman, ah, so it's wpa that's the problem.
[12:05] <kkman> h6w, Ya
[12:05] <JanHammer> KenSentMe, that message is just what I see in the resolution settings in Preferences
[12:05] <JanHammer> it only allows 85, like I said
[12:05] <seanlap> Does the website http://webproxy.cc/ work in your browser?
[12:05] <KenSentMe> JanHammer: have you checked the wiki page?
[12:06] <JanHammer> KenSentMe, yep, found one page that was supposed to fix it
[12:06] <KenSentMe> jasonm: select the partition you want to format and go to 'partition --> unmount
[12:06] <JanHammer> didn't :P
[12:06] <kkman> h6w, any idea ?
[12:06] <rigonatti> !help
[12:06] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[12:06] <protocol1_> is there a reason why my system halts at grub loading 1.5 for a long period of time and I have to keep rebooting till it loads?
[12:06] <Slaphappy^> has anyone heard about the problem when trying to install packages that a user need to ping like ubuntu.com everytime he needs to install any packages
[12:07] <h6w> kkman, I have never used wpa, so no.  I would suggest going and talking to the linux-wireless people.   I was just looking to see if they have a channel.
[12:07] <rigonatti> !mount
[12:07] <ubotu> Disks store lots of data. Partitioning: try gparted or qtparted  - Formatting: see the manpage for mkfs  - Mounting: system -> administration -> disks
[12:07] <rigonatti> does anyone know the url to get a auto mount disk script ?
[12:07] <Solon12> when i click system / quit, only the "lock screen" button has an icon. is there some way to fix it so all the buttons have icons?
[12:07] <zzzen> protocol1_: I had this once and it was a hardware problem. In my case removing the cdrom drive helped reboot faster
[12:07] <KenSentMe> jasonm: sorry, i see now that i've sent you a message that wasn't meant for you
[12:08] <KenSentMe> !tell JanHammer about fixres
[12:08] <JanHammer> KenSentMe, that's the exact article
[12:08] <jasonm> KenSentMe, it says that the drive is formatted, i dont understand how i see the two drives in say the browser... im new to the linux file system
[12:08] <krang> anyone know how I mightIs there any way to make apt-get "--assume-no", beacuse it isn't in the man page, but I'd rather expect it to be present since there's a "--assume-yes"
[12:08] <jajaja-> hey guys, i am following the quietglow how-to and when i run sudo make, i am gettin an error No rule to make target `modules'
[12:08] <BCK14> Whats a good CD ripper ?
[12:09] <rigonatti> !automount
[12:09] <ubotu> I know nothing about automount

[12:09] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[12:09] <KenSentMe> jasonm: have you clicked unmount?
[12:09] <JanHammer> KenSentMe, that's the article I had two hours ago, and tried it, didn't work :/
[12:09] <AskHL> I just installed aewm (I use Xfce right now). I cannot select aewm from the login screen session selector. How then can I launch aewm ?
[12:09] <KenSentMe> jasonm: when you now go to partition, you can choose the option format as
[12:10] <JanHammer> brb
[12:10] <gray> what does it mean to put an exclamation point in front of a word in irc?
[12:10] <gray> i see everyone doing it =\
[12:10] <BCK14> Whats a good CD ripper ?
[12:10] <boabsta> gray: sends stuff to a bot
[12:10] <KenSentMe> !tell gray about ubotu
[12:10] <jasonm> KenSentMe, yes, i believe you have to unmount to change the filesystem... how do i remount the drive
[12:10] <AskHL> Generally, aewm is just a window manager. So the question is: "how would I switch window manager when it's not in the session selector after installation"?
[12:10] <KenSentMe> jasonm: i thought you wanted to format it
[12:10] <gray> !mount

[12:11] <maccam94> how do i make ubuntu autodetect a new monitor?
[12:11] <jasonm> and i did
[12:11] <maccam94> i'm using 6.06
[12:11] <nikolajb> hello, my kernel is built under gcc "4.0.3", and i have modules built under "4.0" .. is this different?
[12:11] <zzzen> KensetMe: Maybe *you* could help me with my mixer problem described at http://dod.goleshet.com/sndbug ? I've milked ubotu dry and googled like doogle and only got as far as I did (which is quite impressive for an old hippie IMHO ;) )
[12:11] <KenSentMe> jasonm: have you click the apply button yet and see gparted formatting the partition
[12:12] <maccam94> i just set up ubuntu 6.06 at my house, and brought it back to my neighbors. How do i make it pick up the new monitor's settings correctly
[12:12] <protocol1_> zzzen, my friend was telling me I should have a cd'rom in to keep grub happy
[12:12] <jasonm> KenSentMe, i unmounted it and formatted to ext3... i want to now remount the drive
[12:12] <KenSentMe> jasonm: you first choose what you want to do and then click apply to let gparted make all the changes you selected
[12:12] <jajaja-> i am following the quietglow how-to and when i run sudo make, i am gettin an error No rule to make target `modules'
[12:12] <cypher> what package should i install for resolving "X includes" ?
[12:12] <Solon12> when i click system / quit, only the "lock screen" button has an icon. is there some way to fix it so all the buttons have icons?
[12:13] <Arc> can someone help me get this modem working?
[12:13] <Cntryboy> anyone?
[12:14] <boabsta> you know when you see how-tos and there are screen shots of the initial screens to install Ubuntu 5.10, how do you get those?
[12:14] <Arc> it seems that the kernel doesn't know about this vendor/model though it is supported
[12:14] <jasonm> KenSentMe, i already did that, but i dont see it in the browser, for example... when i click places, then computer it shows i have one drive called filesystem, it doesnt show the second drive...
[12:14] <boabsta> Cntryboy: define "doesnt work"
[12:14] <Cntryboy> http://www.nero.com/en/NeroLINUX.html
[12:14] <Cntryboy> thats the site for nero altern for linux right
[12:14] <boabsta> Cntryboy: yer but how does it not work?
[12:15] <boabsta> Cntryboy: does it crash, does it fail to install, what?
[12:15] <Cntryboy> when I go to it, it sits there on a blue screen background and no txt no dl links natta
[12:15] <boabsta> Cntryboy: ppl cant/wont help if the only info you give is "it doesnt work"
[12:15] <KenSentMe> jasonm: the linux filesystem is not like in windows with c:, d: etc
[12:15] <Madeye> guys, Flashplayer installed just fine but it wont play sounds when the movie has sounds.
[12:15] <kr4z> boabsta: he means the site
[12:15] <boabsta> kr4z: aaaah lol
[12:15] <Cntryboy> well if someone tells me a url doesn't work ususally I already know the page doesn't load up
[12:15] <UKMatt> is it better to use gparted, qparted, or does it not matter
[12:15] <Cntryboy> lol
[12:16] <boabsta> UKMatt: gparted if u use Gnome, qparted if u use KDE is best
[12:16] <Fluxboxen> Hi guys, My system still thinks its using java 1.4. even though 1.5 is installed. Whats the command to change the version the OS uses, does anyone know
[12:16] <UKMatt> boabsta, how are they different?
[12:16] <KenSentMe> jasonm: it's built up of different folders that can all be on the same partition, but also that all folders are on one, and only the /home folder is on a second partition
[12:16] <boabsta> Cntryboy: yep, it doesnt work - dont know why lol
[12:16] <KenSentMe> !filesystem
[12:16] <ubotu> I know nothing about filesystem
[12:16] <Cntryboy> okay :(
[12:16] <KenSentMe> !fs
[12:16] <ubotu> I know nothing about fs
[12:16] <Cntryboy> eh im too tired to worry with it today anyways
[12:17] <KenSentMe> !linux
[12:17] <ubotu> linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux
[12:17] <boabsta> UKMatt: gparted uses Gnome libraries, QParted uses QT (which is KDE)
[12:17] <Cntryboy> laters
[12:17] <Cntryboy> and thx
[12:17] <UKMatt> boabsta, ahh... any reason gparted wasnt included in add/remove?
[12:17] <jasonm> KenSentMe, really, so how do i tell whats on what drive, for organizational purposes.
[12:17] <JanHammer> KenSentMe, the problem with that article is that it doesn't tell you how to add options for refresh rate :/
[12:17] <JanHammer> that's the problem
[12:18] <boabsta> UKMatt: u may need to add other repositories or something
[12:18] <boabsta> so does anyone know how you get screen shots of a linux install process?
[12:18] <UKMatt> boabsta, nah not the synaptic, the add/remove that is in the menubar
[12:18] <gnomefreak> !info gparted
[12:18] <ubotu> gparted: partition editor for GNOME. In repository main, is optional. Version 0.1-0ubuntu9 (dapper), package size 232 kB, installed size 1280 kB
[12:18] <Subhuman> boabsta, vmware
[12:18] <kr4z> boabsta: you can get those screen shots if you run it in VMware or something
[12:18] <Fluxboxen> Hi guys, My system still thinks its using java 1.4. even though 1.5 is installed. Whats the command to change the version the OS uses, does anyone know
[12:18] <boabsta> Subhuman: okay, thanks
[12:19] <gnomefreak> UKMatt: its in main repo
[12:19] <jasonm> KenSentMe, i just went to disk manager and it says the drives path is "/media/sdb1" and its not inccessible.
[12:19] <UKMatt> gnomefreak, no biggie, i got it through synaptic
[12:19] <jasonm> KenSentMe, when i click enable it doesnt do anything..
[12:19] <boabsta> UKMatt: sorry I dont know, if its in main then it should show as far as I know. I use KDE (*ducks*) so i'm not too familiar with Gnome
[12:20] <UKMatt> boabsta, np, ty
[12:20] <KenSentMe> jasonm: maybe this is helpfull for explaining a bit about the folder structure
[12:20] <kr4z> does anybody know of any good documentation for using dual monitors with fglrx? I can get it half working but it breaks whenever I logout and login as a different user
[12:20] <KenSentMe> jasonm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview
[12:20] <Subhuman> UKMatt, add/remove is very basic, you should use synaptic all the time
[12:21] <boabsta> kr4z: thanks - just noticed your reply
[12:21] <UKMatt> btw, it doesnt hurt anything if I resize my Ubuntu partition to make it larger, i have 1 hd with duel boot with windows
[12:21] <fiyawerx_> is anyone familiar with using freenx?
[12:21] <Subhuman> UKMatt, no it doesnt
[12:21] <UKMatt> subhuman, i usually do, I just happened to be in it
[12:21] <valehru> Im just after installing a docklet for beep media player.......it has a system tray docklet, is there any way I can remove beep from the taskbar and to the docklet only?

[12:21] <UKMatt> subhuman, ty
[12:21] <Subhuman> <- UK
[12:21] <fiyawerx_> i was wondering if these start commands look blatantly wrong to anyone, it seems to be my problem

[12:23] <Rerre211> Hi! I tried shared folders in Ubuntu, but Ubuntu says I should install Samba. I select "ok" for that, but the same propmt comes up each time I start "shared folders". I cannot see the folders in Windows either. I can ping the machines ok. Can anyone help here?
[12:23] <cypher> Usunny, then which one is good
[12:23] <JanHammer> ugh, no one can help me it seems :/
[12:23] <Solon12> when i click system / quit, only the "lock screen" button has an icon. is there some way to fix it so all the buttons have icons?
[12:23] <DarkTower> how do i make it so that when i move folder off other computers or off cd's into my home folder, i automatically get permission to it? I hate having to set permissions every time
[12:23] <Usunny> good one ?
[12:23] <UKMatt> aww, can you resize after you make them?  its telling me that windows and ubuntu sides are locked
[12:23] <KenSentMe> jasonm: it's on an external drive?
[12:23] <cypher> Usunny, yes
[12:23] <Subhuman> Solon12,  you need to login with gdm
[12:23] <jasonm> nope

[12:24] <zommes> can i ask something?
[12:24] <jasonm> KenSentMe, its a second sata
[12:24] <boabsta> zommes: hello, bash on
[12:24] <Solon12> Subhuman - i am logged in though. Whats gdm?
[12:24] <DarkTower> boabsta: i do want permission. but it always copies in without permission, off cds at least
[12:24] <zommes> well, anyone familiar with mud-games?
[12:24] <zommes> and the program TinyFugue
[12:24] <DarkTower> boabsta: pardon me, as read only
[12:24] <RadiantFire> Solon12: gdm is the Gnome Display Manager
[12:24] <boabsta> DarkTower: read only?
[12:24] <boabsta> DarkTower: aah yer
[12:24] <DarkTower> boabsta: yes
[12:24] <RadiantFire> Solon12: it is responsible for handling non-terminal (graphical) logins

[12:25] <Solon12> gdm is running though. sorry, im new to ubuntu and a bit confused
[12:25] <Subhuman> Solon12, the program wheere u type your user in pass in before you ghet to the desktop
[12:26] <DarkTower> how can i make files from cds copy into my home folder without read only. i shouldnt need to constantly reset that for every file off a cd
[12:26] <zommes> Somehow, the responses on my commands are not readable
[12:26] <Subhuman> Solon12, try pushing the power button.
[12:26] <Subhuman> Solon12, and reboot then look
[12:26] <JanHammer> does anyone know why ubuntu would be limiting my res to 85? There's no other choices
[12:26] <JanHammer> er
[12:26] <JanHammer> refresh rate
[12:26] <KenSentMe> jasonm: does the disk manager tell you what filesystem is on the disk?
[12:26] <Solon12> iwhat should i be looking at when i reboot?
[12:26] <kkman> is there anyway to uninstall UBUNTU?
[12:26] <JanHammer> does anyone know why ubuntu would be limiting my refresh rate to 85? There's no other choices
[12:26] <boabsta> JanHammer: look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:26] <JanHammer> heh
[12:26] <JanHammer> I did
[12:27] <DarkTower> kkman: just install whatever else you want over the top of it
[12:27] <JanHammer> boabsta, what would I want to look for?
[12:27] <bon_> how gay is that no flash 8 for linux
[12:27] <kkman> DarkTower, i want to install a fresh copyu of ubuntu

[12:27] <kkman> how do i remove the old installation?
[12:27] <teckfatt> hello, anyone know what software the ubuntu use for auto mount the ex-harddisk(sda)??
[12:28] <DarkTower> kkman: you dont need to "uninstall". just start the install again and do it over the top
[12:28] <boabsta> JanHammer: Section "Monitor" - the VertRefresh and HorizSync are there, look for the specs of your monitor and set those to be the same
[12:28] <boabsta> JanHammer: Like VertRefresh     50-150
[12:28] <kkman> will it be a vanila fresh copy of the os?
[12:28] <MTecknology> I installed qemu and installed WinXP on it but when it got to configuring shit, it froze(just was going to slow) so I tried restarting it with 512 instead 0f 128. It goes into it's bios after 1/2 a second, it goes black and nothing happens, what's wrong?
[12:28] <JanHammer> boabsta, yes, they're set correctly to my monitor
[12:28] <kkman> I wnat all old configuration/file sto be removed
[12:28] <KenSentMe> kkman: you don't have to, just install it again and choose the same partition to install it on
[12:28] <DarkTower> kkman: it wont have any ice cream flavours but yes it will be a fresh new clean install
[12:28] <vernek> Hi guys

[12:29] <boabsta> JanHammer: are you sure your monitor can go higher than 85 at the resolution you are using?
[12:29] <JanHammer> boabsta, that's not the problem
[12:29] <JanHammer> it's that ubuntu ONLY has 85 on the dropdown
[12:29] <JanHammer> I want 60

[12:32] <Raul654> Ken - I don't want it on the toolbar - I want it on the desktop
[12:32] <Arc> KenSentMe: I'm 99% sure it's supported, as evidence by:
[12:32] <vernek> does anybody have faced this problem?
[12:32] <Arc> root@Red:~# usbmodules --device /proc/bus/usb/002/003
[12:32] <Arc> cdc-acm
[12:32] <KenSentMe> Raul654: ah, ok
[12:32] <DarkTower> JanHammer: sorry cant help, havent switched to it yet
[12:32] <fiyawerx_> anyone know what would cause an idle ssh session to just lock up?
[12:32] <JanHammer> utrrhthghhh
[12:32] <vincenz> Anyone know why firefox consumes so much memory?
[12:32] <JanHammer> DarkTower, what did you have to do? X hasn't changed in a long while
[12:32] <joey-> Hello?
[12:32] <teckfatt> KenSentMe: tz, is not fstab, it like pmount, it will auto mount the drive when plug in but not in fstab
[12:32] <Raul654> I just need to know either (a) the name of the trash applet, or (b) how to move an icon from the bar onto the desktop
[12:32] <DarkTower> JanHammer: keep trying on here i would say, some of the devs come on
[12:32] <wizardjames> vincenz , it could be a plugin or theme
[12:33] <joey-> Could anyone help me with a video card issue it seems?
[12:33] <jvai> set the cache to zero
[12:33] <DarkTower> JanHammer: i fortunately could ignore it in my case. i would say play with the xconf file resolution setting
[12:33] <vincenz> Any know when they'll fix the ATI bugs?
[12:33] <joey-> During installation, it will not load up past the Ubuntu... "Check" if you will.
[12:33] <vincenz> And what can I use as alternative at the moment for direct rendering?
[12:33] <JanHammer> DarkTower, haven't found a refresh rate list, I even tried lowering the monitor refresh manually and it didn't change anythiong
[12:33] <JanHammer> gah!
[12:34] <Arc> vincenz: indirect rendering or mesa software rendering
[12:34] <vincenz> Arc: I maent as alternative to fglrx to get direct rendering to work
[12:34] <wizardjames> i got "ubuntu-6.06-desktop-i386_001.iso" on my desktop .. donno when i downloaded it.. soemone tell me what it is? (live cd??)
[12:34] <Arc> vincenz: you really want to spend the $30 to get yourself a nice ATI Radeon 9200
[12:34] <vincenz> For non openGL stuff, just plain 2d stuff... typing in gnometerminal is seriously lagged
[12:34] <Solon12> when i click system / quit, only the "lock screen" button has an icon. is there some way to fix it so all the buttons have icons?
[12:34] <vincenz> Arc: Taht's great, I'll tell my laptop manufacturer
[12:34] <joey-> hahaha radeon 9200
[12:34] <joey-> i have one
[12:34] <joey-> :(
[12:34] <KenSentMe> wizardjames: it's livecd and install cd in one
[12:34] <wizardjames> ok.. that works.
[12:34] <Arc> KenSentMe: any idea?
[12:35] <bioticpro> Im trying to decide between these cards http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductCompare.asp?SubCategory=48&CompareItemList=N82E16814143038%2CN82E16814127203%2CN82E16814133149%2CN82E16814143056 for a dell optiplex gx260, any advice on which to get please
[12:35] <udo> how can i setup my f200 crypto modem i already have ubuntu dapper release?
[12:35] <KenSentMe> Arc: sorry, have you searched the ubuntu forums?
[12:35] <vincenz> Arc: I have an X300
[12:35] <Arc> KenSentMe: yes.
[12:35] <joey-> I have a problem: When I boot Ubuntu on this computer, it goes to the point where it'll start checking itself out, checking my computer. Then when it goes to load X, crashes.
[12:36] <joey-> I have an ATI RADEON 9200.
[12:36] <joey-> But I also have an onboard intel 801e.
[12:36] <joey-> 810e*
[12:36] <vincenz> x300 is quite good imho
[12:36] <joey-> When I take out the video card (radeon), it works fine.
[12:36] <joey-> with it in
[12:36] <Arc> joey-: did you disable the internal video?
[12:36] <joey-> no go
[12:36] <vincenz> I can run oblivion on it
[12:37] <joey-> Arc: I can't even LOAD Ubuntu.
[12:37] <udo> how can i setup my f200 crypto modem i already have ubuntu dapper release?
[12:37] <Arc> joey-: I'm using a system now that has a i915 w/ ati radeon 9200SE 128mb and it runs smooth as silk
[12:37] <Arc> joey-: you'd disable it in the bios.
[12:37] <vincenz> Arc: my x300 has 128MB
[12:37] <zzzen> KenSentMe: Did you have time to look at my sound problem? http://dod.goleshet.com/sndbug
[12:37] <joey-> Oh, seriously?

[12:37] <joey-> Going to try it.
[12:37] <KenSentMe> zzzen: i have time, but i doubt i can help
[12:37] <joey-> Arc: Yeah.
[12:37] <joey-> Is it okay if i PM Arc?
[12:37] <Arc> ok try the bios.

[12:39] <jvai> totem is now my new wmp, but muuuch simpler, thnk u easy ubuntu
[12:39] <danny-khi> can i access webpages from a socks proxy on port 1080
[12:39] <joey-> anyway, brb
[12:39] <Arc> c'mon someone has got to have experience with usb modems
[12:39] <flavio> OI
[12:39] <flavio> HELLO
[12:40] <jasonm> KenSentMe, it says its a ext3 filesystem
[12:40] <few> Hi everyone! help me somebody I compile new release of mplayer with gui support so which video output driver I've to chose gl or gl2?
[12:40] <zzzen> I'm sure it's a simple newbie thing: oss mixer doesn't see the pcm (alsa mixer does) and after reboots all channels are muted and with volume 0. I don't mind changing my setup to something that is known to work. I just want to have the mixer saved between reboots
[12:40] <void^> few: usually xv, but gl/gl2 won't hurt.
[12:40] <KenSentMe> jasonm: does it give any access path (sorry, i'm on a dutch ubuntu)
[12:41] <few> i don't habe xv there. What should i do?
[12:41] <jasonm> KenSentMe, sorry gparted says its a ext3 filesystem, disk manager says its ntsf
[12:41] <clparker> mac is my favorite
[12:41] <KenSentMe> jasonm: have you closed gparted?
[12:41] <udo> how can i setup my f200 crypto modem i already have ubuntu dapper release?
[12:41] <jasonm> KenSentMe, the access path is /media/sdb1
[12:41] <bon_> why doesnt flash work aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh try this page http://lab.andre-michelle.com/ lots of cool flash experments
[12:42] <jasonm> KenSentMe, ive closed and opened both
[12:42] <JanHammer> does anyone know why ubuntu would be limiting my refresh rate to 85? There's no other choices
[12:42] <clparker> flash doesnt work because ubunto is shit
[12:42] <udo> how can i setup my f200 crypto modem i already have ubuntu dapper release?
[12:42] <few> what should i do to have XV in mplayer video driver. And what is better gl or gl2
[12:42] <zzzen> flash doesn't work because *flash* is closed-source shit :)
[12:43] <KenSentMe> jasonm: go to disk manager and to the partition, choose deactivate and the click format
[12:43] <clparker> no its bc ubunto is inferior to mac
[12:43] <hyphenated> JanHammer: because it probed your monitor to get a list of refresh rates, and your monitor didn't report any higher than 85Hz
[12:44] <zzzen> clparker: define inferior. also, do you find ubuntu chatrooms superior to mac ones
[12:44] <KenSentMe> hyphenated: he doesn't want a higher rate but a lower
[12:44] <anonymouse> !vnc
[12:44] <ubotu> vnc is a (slow) way of doing remote desktop, x11vnc uses your current session. A faster remote desktop is !freenx
[12:44] <JanHammer> hyphenated, ffs it ONLY lists 85, nothing lower or higher
[12:44] <jasonm> KenSentMe, its already disabled, theres only an enable button
[12:44] <anonymouse> !freenx
[12:44] <ubotu> freenx is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreeNX
[12:44] <KenSentMe> jasonm: can you choose format?
[12:44] <clparker> chatrooms are the only thing ubunto has going for itself
[12:44] <anonymouse> thanks ubotu
[12:44] <hyphenated> JanHammer: for a laugh, run 'sudo ddcprobe' in a terminal, and put the output in a pastebin
[12:44] <cius> zzzen, :-) I ws wondering about that myself
[12:45] <few> what should i do to have XV mplayer video output driver( i compiled it). And what is better gl or gl2( this is what i have at this moment)
[12:45] <fiyawerx_> anon have you got freenx running?
[12:45] <bioticpro> clparker: ubuntu supports more hardware than mac, and is free
[12:45] <fiyawerx_> having a rough time with it here
[12:45] <JanHammer> "sudo: dccprobe: command not found
[12:45] <JanHammer> "
[12:45] <jasonm> KenSentMe, yes
[12:45] <sharket> hello
[12:45] <jasonm> KenSentMe, i just clicked format
[12:45] <KenSentMe> jasonm: then choose ext3
[12:45] <anonymouse> fiyawerx_: until 2 minutes ago i didn't know it existed.
[12:46] <Usunny> any one of you guys got an asus pundit ?
[12:46] <clparker> clparker is my slave name, i go by mohammed akawahow now
[12:46] <anonymouse> fiyawerx_: i came here to see if anyone knew how to enable vnc before a user was logged on.  I'll try freenx
[12:46] <KenSentMe> jasonm: then define a folder in wich the drive should be accesible
[12:46] <Leafw> is there anyway to tell apt-get to do a 'clean' for packages that have not yet been configured ?
[12:47] <jasonm> KenSentMe, formating is now done, it says its ext3 but it says 76.33 gb not availible. and the enable button does not do anything
[12:47] <Leafw> my disk run out of space before finishing the configure
[12:47] <fiyawerx_> anonymouse: im trying to redo it again now, would love to know if you can get it working
[12:47] <jasonm> KenSentMe, what do you mean define the folder
[12:48] <KenSentMe> jasonm: you could change /media/sdb1 to something else
[12:48] <KenSentMe> jasonm: i've mounted a partition to the folder /projects for example
[12:48] <clparker> LINUX IS FOR SLAVES!
[12:48] <jvai> lol
[12:48] <anonymouse> fiyawerx_: will let you know
[12:49] <andax> how do I change the sound card used for alsa oss emulation?
[12:49] <jasonm> can i just call it media because thats what i want in it
[12:49] <clparker> LINUX IS FOR NERDS THAT LIVE IN THEIR MOMS BASEMENT
[12:49] <jvai> linux is for trailsetters
[12:49] <KenSentMe> jasonm: the problem is that all external drives are mounted in media, like /media/cdrom etc
[12:49] <cius> I agree, I get free milk and cookies this way though
[12:49] <zzzen> clparker. You could be a perfect troop for OMF: http://principiadiscordia.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=3&sid=83db529cd76c3330522866a2fcd01110
[12:49] <zzzen> but they don't advertize products, though
[12:49] <KenSentMe> jasonm: but you could call it /media/jason
[12:50] <jasonm> KenSentMe, how do i do that
[12:50] <zzzen> jasonm: sudo mkdir /media/jason
[12:51] <jasonm> now what?
[12:52] <hyphenated> JanHammer: ddcprobe, not dccprobe ;-)
[12:52] <KenSentMe> jasonm: go to disk managaer, your partition, choose deactivate (if needed), click change and fill in /media/jason
[12:52] <zzzen> jasonm: now you have a mountpoint, so you can manually sudo mount /dev/something /media/jason
[12:52] <zzzen> or add it to fstab
[12:52] <rigonatti> hi all !
[12:52] <KenSentMe> jasonm: or you could do what zzzen says
[12:52] <rigonatti> does anyone know how to move a directory and copy trough terminal ?
[12:52] <KenSentMe> rigonatti: hi there
[12:52] <rigonatti> !terminal
[12:52] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via applications -> accessories -> terminal (gnome) or kmenu -> system -> konsole (kde). Manuals: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicCommands
[12:53] <Usunny> mv <folder>
[12:53] <jonex> I installed the normal ubuntu, and now I want 64bit dual core support. But I can't find any such kernel in my reposotories.
[12:53] <KenSentMe> rigonatti: cd /var/www is change to folder /var/www, cp is copy
[12:53] <jonex> What to do?
[12:53] <kkman> Looking for a tutorial /how-to for installing wpa
[12:53] <kkman> any suggestions ?
[12:53] <KenSentMe> !tell kkman about wpa
[12:54] <lnxkde> someone knows a good place to buy a domain?
[12:55] <fiyawerx_> anonymouse: i get this when setting it up "COMMAND_START_KDE=/usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session startkde"
[12:55] <jonex> lnxkde, Depends on the ending, godaddy is alright for com, net and org I guess.
[12:55] <fiyawerx_> looks like it doesnt like that command for some reason
[12:55] <ryanakca> would it be possible to install ubuntu with debian boot floppies? and then when you run /usr/sbin/base-config, just put in ubuntu repos instead of deb?<
[12:56] <jasonm> still doesnt work
[12:56] <jasonm> thanks for the help
[12:56] <JanHammer> hyphenated, oh ^_^
[12:56] <jasonm> i have to go to work
[12:56] <jasonm> thanks again guys, bye
[12:56] <sysdoc> lnxkde, aplus.net
[12:57] <JanHammer> hyphenated, want me to PM you it?
[12:57] <fiyawerx_> rather, "Invalid value " on that error above
[12:57] <hyphenated> JanHammer: pastebin. eg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[12:57] <fiyawerx_> comes up for gnome too
[12:58] <JanHammer> hyphenated, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16295
[12:58] <pooya> is there a Human theme for thunderbird?
[12:58] <JanHammer> Pooya, google is your friend ^_^
[12:58] <pooya> JanHammer, couldn't find one
[12:59] <sysdoc> human?
[12:59] <pooya> JanHammer, found one for firefix
[12:59] <pooya> yes
[12:59] <pooya> Human is default theme for ubuntu
[12:59] <JanHammer> yes
[12:59] <JanHammer> I know
[12:59] <Jemt> !dapper
[12:59] <ubotu> dapper is the 4th and latest release of Ubuntu. Version 6.06 LTS, codename "Dapper Drake"
[12:59] <ebaad>  i have done the upgrade to Dapper, shall i restart the system to see the difference
[01:00] <Jemt> ebaad: Yes
[01:00] <ebaad> thanks
[01:00] <pooya> also, any recommendation on how to take care of filesystem?
[01:00] <Jemt> ebaad: Depending whether Dapper contains a new kernel, it might be enough to just restart X
[01:00] <sysdoc> question: will the upgrade break a custom kernel?
[01:00] <Jemt> ah, bugger
[01:00] <TonySt> Right.... I updated to kubuntu 6.6, and accidently erased most of my config files. I can reconstruct most of them, but one thing is puzzling me: The volume on my machine is now almost inaudibly low. Anyone know why, or how I could fix it?
[01:01] <Jemt> TonySt: I prefer adjusting the volume using aumix - try that
[01:01] <Usunny> im thinking about geting the 64bit version of ubuntu, is that a really bad idea ? sounds like lots of stuff dosent work :S
[01:01] <pattersj> how to get KDE packages in order to write them to CD without apt-get?
[01:01] <Jemt> TonySt: If it dosn't exist, then 'apt-get install aumix'
[01:01] <Foci> Hey all i'm about to start my first install of Ubuntu... any suggestions??
[01:02] <Trooper_> anybody give me some steam + wine or cedega help
[01:02] <Jemt> Usunny: I can recommend Breezy if that exists in a 64 bit version. It is quite stable. Dapper sucks in my opinion
[01:02] <Usunny> hmm ok :s
[01:02] <fiyawerx_> man even after apt-get install gnome-desktop, i still get Invalid value "COMMAND_START_GNOME=/usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session gnome-session"
[01:02] <livingdaylight> i dont understand why people use Suse
[01:02] <TonySt> Jemt: Well, the thing is, i'm not connected to the internet just yet, that's been erased with the configs. I'll work on getting the net up right now, as i'll need that someday anyway.
[01:02] <TonySt> Jemt: thanks
[01:02] <compengi> in ubuntu can i know my uptime?
[01:02] <livingdaylight> xpm -Uvh? Yikes!
[01:02] <sysdoc> OK, let me ask this then. Is there a www page for detail instructions on how to upgrade to dapper, and the requirements?
[01:02] <gnomefreak> compengi: uptime
[01:02] <fiyawerx_> type uptime at a console prompt, will do it, compengi
[01:03] <jrib> ubotu: tell sysdoc about upgrade
[01:03] <Jemt> TonySt: Welcome :)
[01:03] <sysdoc> jrib, thank you
[01:03] <he11work> anyone here know why ubunto stops while loading and cant configure my wireless interface and just stops there and keeps trying till eventually i have to restart???
[01:03] <fiyawerx_> does anyone know a correct gnome startup command besides the one above?
[01:03] <jrib> sysdoc: that page doesn't have requirements, but if you can run breezy, then dapper should be ok
[01:03] <Solon12> when i click system / quit, only the "lock screen" button has an icon. is there some way to fix it so all the buttons have icons?
[01:04] <Jemt> he11work: I had the same problem - it took 1-5 minutes until it gave up. But when I logged into Gnome, it worked fine
[01:04] <Jemt> he11work: That was in Breezy though
[01:04] <Jemt> Solon12: Using Dapper og Breezy ?
[01:04] <udo> how can i setup my f200 crypto modem i already have ubuntu dapper release?
[01:04] <he11work> hmm idk what ig ot... im using Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake)
[01:04] <Jemt> Solon12: And have you changed the theme ? There is a bug in the Human theme. Don't know if it has been solved yet
[01:04] <rigonatti> hi all ....does anyone know why a script run in KDE and do not in Gnome ?
[01:05] <Solon12> Jemt: im using the newest version of ubuntu. yes, i changed the theme
[01:05] <Frem> How can I make firefox open mailto links using Thunderbird instead od Evolution?
[01:05] <JanHammer> hyphenated, prod.
[01:05] <Jemt> Solon12: Then try another theme - it might contain a bug
[01:06] <Jemt> Frem: You can set it in "Prefered applications"
[01:06] <jrib> Frem: system > preferences > preferred applications
[01:06] <Jemt> Frem: It is in one of the Preferences menues
[01:06] <andax> how do I change the default sound card used by old OSS-only apps?
[01:06] <hyphenated> JanHammer: that's where it gets some of the mode info for your monitor from, and is probably why you can only pick 85 for the refresh rate
[01:06] <Fluid0> to upgrade to dapper drake, i run the cd and then?
[01:06] <Solon12> Jemt: ive tried 3 different themes. same thing
[01:06] <jrib> ubotu: tell Fluid0 about upgrade
[01:06] <JanHammer> hyphenated, and how do I change?
[01:06] <Jemt> Solon12: Hm, weird. Don't know what could be causing it then
[01:07] <he11work> jemt:i'm running dapper drake u have any idea what i can do to fix it??
[01:07] <Leafw> anyone on powerpc? How can one set the command key to be the control key? It's not in the keyboard preferences
[01:07] <Jemt> he11work: Nope, unfortunately not.
[01:07] <he11work> bah thanks
[01:07] <rigonatti> can I resize icons on Gnome ? or change the size?
[01:07] <Jemt> he11work: I simply don't know - i just lieved with it.
[01:08] <Jemt> he11work: Are you using DHCP ?
[01:08] <grodius> Hi could someone help me im trying to compile the GAIM beta from source and I cant figure it out
[01:08] <jonex> What kernel should I use for my dual core athlon cpu?
[01:08] <rigonatti> can i even set my mime types icons manually ?
[01:08] <Jemt> he11work: And do you know which card there is your wireless? (ie. eth1)
[01:08] <rigonatti> !icons
[01:08] <ubotu> Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (Gnome) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE)
[01:08] <he11work> jemt: i tried, but that also doesnt work and freezes up my comp, its ra0 its a belkin g wireless

[01:09] <jrib> !fishing
[01:09] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots
[01:09] <Jemt> he11work: I doubt it is ra0 - I've never seen that in Ubuntu
[01:09] <grodius> jrib i wasnt aware of any available debs, where are they?
[01:09] <Jemt> he11work: What chipset ?
[01:09] <jrib> ubotu: tell grodius about gaim2
[01:09] <he11work> Jemt thats what it says when i run iwconfig and when i do the network settings thing
[01:10] <Jemt> he11work: Paste 'ifconfig -a' to a pastebin
[01:10] <salah> hi people. I have a joystick which is plugged in to the game port on my sound card, where is the device by default? (like /dev/sound0 or something)

[01:11] <grodius> could someone get me a link to a deb of the GAIM beta?
[01:11] <sysdoc> pdub, probably because you have it set to local files only
[01:12] <jrib> grodius: check your private messages from ubotu
[01:12] <judah> wizardjames: stick with something with an atheros chipset or prism2 chipset for most functionality.
[01:12] <Socceroos_Woooot> !gaim2
[01:12] <ubotu> Packages for Gaim 2 beta 3 can be found via https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-April/072721.html

[01:13] <ardchoille> fiyawerx_: My System Monitor has: /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session x-session-manager
[01:13] <ardchoille> fiyawerx_: I installed the Ubuntu desktop CD
[01:13] <JanHammer> but the thing is that ubuntu chose the wrong card so I ended up making it point to my nvidia
[01:13] <pattersj> quit
[01:13] <JanHammer> the lable is still the intel one though.
[01:13] <JanHammer> label*

[01:19] <Socceroos_Woooot> arigoss: you mean adding things to the menu? right-click on the applications menu, Edit Menus
[01:19] <arigoss> there are "packages" that are installed, that I don't know how to access
[01:19] <arigoss> they aren't in the edit menus either

[01:21] <arigoss> so i have to access them in terminal socceroos?
[01:21] <Socceroos_Woooot> arigoss: does the system menu have "About Gnome" in it?

[01:21] <fiyawerx_> anonymouse: i just redid the install with dpkg and the file from freenx, it installed fine, and i still have the same problem, the client connects and then nothing happens
[01:22] <Socceroos_Woooot> arigoss: hmm ok
[01:22] <Socceroos_Woooot> pandamonium: and thanks!
[01:22] <fiyawerx_> like it just never starts anything on my client machine, if i look in the session manager, the sessions there, i just don't know what to do with it, hehe
[01:22] <kr4z> neotard: I'm trying to use my laptop's LCD and an external VGA monitor with one desktop across them, and I got it half working, but there seems to be an invisible part where my mouse can go that's off the edge of my laptop's LCD (it's a smaller resolution)
[01:22] <constantine-xvi> getting bunches of 403's when i try to apt-get update, have tried archive , se.archive, us.archive and the first mirror on the US list
[01:22] <arigoss> should I have a systems menu socceroos? and if so, why don't I? heh
[01:22] <anonymouse> fiyawerx_: well i'll try using command line to install instead.  i am just annoyed that there's a package manager GUI and I can't use it =)
[01:22] <neotard> kr4z:  if the screens are different resolutions, it will
[01:22] <anonymouse> will let you know what i find.
[01:23] <few> How to play all video's in one player ( mplayer) I want one stoping another running not like now - new running old playing how to do this
[01:23] <pandamonium> arigoss, if you look at your menu at the top, clicking is there "Applications Places System"?
[01:23] <kr4z> neotard: ah
[01:23] <Socceroos_Woooot> arigoss: if you installed the gnome version you would.  You might have another ubuntu flavour (kubuntu or xubuntu)
[01:23] <fiyawerx_> oh, yeah im doing all this via sssh from work into home so have to use the command line anonymouse
[01:23] <sysdoc> I tell you guys something this channel just rocks. I installed Mandriva and popped into their channel and it was dead. You guys are doing a great job here. Keep it up
[01:23] <neotard> kr4z:  the desktop is essentially one BIG rectangle, and your two monitors are little squares looking into it.
[01:23] <Socceroos_Woooot> sysdoc: onya! :)
[01:24] <sysdoc> lol
[01:24] <kr4z> neotard: is there no way to stop the mouse from going there?
[01:24] <neotard> kr4z:  as you can imagine, if you have a smaller and a bigger sitting next to each other there will be dead space.
[01:24] <arigoss> no
[01:24] <pandamonium> did you enjoy the game Socceroos_Woooot ?
[01:24] <arigoss> if I goto edit the menu, a system tools shows up that doesn't actually show in the menu
[01:24] <Socceroos_Woooot> pandamonium: no :P
[01:24] <fiyawerx_> gonna enable some logging and see what i get
[01:24] <fiyawerx_> ls
[01:24] <fiyawerx_> oops
[01:24] <Socceroos_Woooot> pandamonium: don't start me.  And it's O/T :)
[01:24] <neotard> kr4z:  no, but the mouse only knows about the big rectangle, not the little ones :)
[01:24] <arigoss> actually, it just says system. My bad
[01:24] <arigoss> system tools in add/remove application
[01:25] <pandamonium> Socceroos_Woooot, you're through though... so let's leave it at that
[01:25] <few> Do you ignore me? How to open new video in the same player( Mplayer) Help please
[01:25] <Socceroos_Woooot> pandamonium: indeed :)
[01:25] <Kodfish> Hey! yesterday i heard it is possible to run xfce under ubuntu without installing xubuntu. is that true?
[01:25] <constantine-xvi> unable to apt-get from 5 different mirrors
[01:25] <pandamonium> fair dinkum mate ;)
[01:25] <he11work> Jemt: u here still?? i got my stuff now :D
[01:25] <Jemt> he11work: show me :)
[01:25] <he11work> sweet :D
[01:25] <he11work> ok...
[01:25] <neotard> Kodfish:  sure, why wouldn't it be?
[01:26] <kr4z> neotard: hmm, ok. There's another problem I'm having though, whenever I log out and log in as a different user the dual monitors stop working
[01:26] <constantine-xvi> Kodfish: apt-get install xfce4, assuming your apt-get is up
[01:26] <he11work> join #nub so i dont spam here
[01:26] <he11work> :P
[01:26] <Socceroos_Woooot> few: unlikely you're being ignored. just that people don't know
[01:26] <kr4z> neotard: in very strange ways
[01:26] <Kodfish> thanks! =D
[01:26] <Kodfish> how do i switch to it after i get it?
[01:26] <kr4z> neotard: in that the mouse can go off the edge of the screen, but it's not the side where the other monitor used to be
[01:26] <pandamonium> (and no... I don't know any aussies who actually say that except for that bloke from home and away
[01:26] <he11work> Jemt: join #nub please so i can spam that useless chan instead of this one :p
[01:26] <Socceroos_Woooot> pandamonium: lol
[01:27] <constantine-xvi> Kodfish: b4 you log in, click Options, then session
[01:27] <KenSentMe> Does anyone know how i can make media files on my desktop show up by a certain icon, rather than showing a thumbnail of the content?
[01:27] <Kodfish> cool. thanks a ton.
[01:27] <pandamonium> anyway, tinkering in ubuntu is a little trickier than other distros
[01:27] <neotard> Kodfish:  after you restart gdm, before logging in make sure to choose a different session
[01:27] <Sloppy> hello?
[01:27] <KenSentMe> hi?
[01:27] <pandamonium> not trickier as such... more PITA using sudo
[01:27] <Sloppy> I have a quick question
[01:28] <neotard> pandamonium:  you can always "sudo bash" :)
[01:28] <constantine-xvi> can anyone else apt-get update from any archive without getting a bunch of 403s?
[01:28] <Socceroos_Woooot> pandamonium: aahh, or 'sudo -i'
[01:28] <Sloppy> I am settting up two drives in raid 0, should I have each drive on its own channel or can I just plug them both into one
[01:28] <pandamonium> neotard, does that open up a su enabled terminal?
[01:28] <neotard> pandamonium:  try it out :)
[01:28] <kr4z> neotard: any ideas about the second problem?
[01:28] <LjL> constantine-xvi: sure
[01:28] <valehru> does ubuntu support the 2.4 kernel?
[01:28] <constantine-xvi> LjL: which archive?
[01:29] <LjL> constantine-xvi: a mixture of the french and italian ones, currently
[01:29] <pandamonium> even our lass is getting to grips with it though
[01:29] <neotard> kr4z:  I was looking because I didn't off the top of my head :)
[01:29] <kr4z> ahh
[01:29] <Socceroos_Woooot> valehru: The Hoary release (5.04) does
[01:29] <billybennett> Can someone help me run a command every 15 mins using cron?
[01:29] <valehru> ok thx
[01:29] <kr4z> neotard: I suspect it has something to do with gnome
[01:29] <Caroline_wp> Hey everyone
[01:30] <LjL> !cron
[01:30] <ubotu> cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. There is a decent howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[01:30] <neotard> kr4z:  assuming your configuration of xorg is good, there shouldn't be any change there.
[01:30] <billybennett> hi Caroline_wp
[01:30] <distanceisdeath> how do i install a .bin?
[01:30] <valehru> need 2.4 for open mosix thx Socceroos_Woooot
[01:30] <pandamonium> i don't know if it's ubuntu putting things in strange places or what but webmin seems to need some tweaking
[01:30] <kr4z> neotard: I used the "Screen Resolution" thing to change the resolution to 1024x768 when I took off the second monitor one time, and then when I changed it back dual monitors stopped working on that user
[01:30] <neotard> kr4z:  tbh, don't know much about the x environment much.  but spent the last couple of weeks twiddling with fglrx and radeon drivers :)
[01:30] <kr4z> heh
[01:30] <kr4z> I see
[01:31] <ardchoille> distanceisdeath: a .bin file needs to be launched:  sh filename.bin
[01:31] <carlos> hello
[01:31] <valehru> distanceisdeath, ./nameoffile.bin
[01:31] <valehru> sh filename bin
[01:31] <distanceisdeath> okay
[01:31] <kr4z> neotard: I've been trying to figure this out for like a week :S
[01:31] <pandamonium> but i *do* like the usb pendrive support
[01:31] <kr4z> neotard: fglrx doesn't seem to have much documentation
[01:31] <carlos> necesitoooo ayuda
[01:31] <ardchoille> !sp
[01:31] <ubotu> I know nothing about sp
[01:31] <ardchoille> !es

[01:32] <guard> kr4z: /usr/share/doc/xdriver-fglrx. read this is more then enough doc
[01:32] <kr4z> ahhh
[01:32] <kr4z> thanks
[01:32] <guard> ur welcomed
[01:32] <carlos> hello
[01:32] <neotard> kr4z:  doesn't talk about all the incompatibilies you'll come in contact with once you have it running :
[01:32] <neotard> :p
[01:32] <guard> kr4z: all docs for any installed package is in /usr/share/doc/packagename
[01:32] <pandamonium> a proper operating system doesn't need to know what format a drive is, and ubuntu just mounts the flash disk
[01:33] <Socceroos_Woooot> valehru: i'm terribly sorry, i think that answer was wrong, i'm checking it
[01:33] <distanceisdeath> it says it cannot execute the binary file
[01:33] <he11work> Jetm:join #nub again please :D
[01:33] <he11work> forgot aobut the kick on spam hting :p
[01:33] <valehru> Socceroos_Woooot, thx..
[01:33] <neotard> pandamonium:  how would an operating system operate w/o knowing what filesystem it is using?
[01:33] <kr4z> guard: hmm, there doesn't seem to be a directory for fglrx
[01:34] <kr4z> neotard: incompatibilities?
[01:34] <guard> kr4z: dpkg -L xdriver-fglrx will tell you where the docs are
[01:34] <pandamonium> sorry neotard the layers beneath the o/s i mean
[01:34] <guard> kr4z: or if you are more familiar with synaptic you can check installed files
[01:34] <kinnetica> can anyone help me change the default mp3 player?  i just installed xxms and have had troubles making it the default.
[01:35] <neotard> pandamonium:  the bios is below the os...
[01:35] <jrib> !default
[01:35] <ubotu> To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations"
[01:35] <Socceroos_Woooot> valehru: yes, i've checked on http://packages.ubuntu.com (searching for linux-image).  Ubuntu has been 2.6.x since it's first release.  Apologies for initially misleading you

[01:35] <kr4z> guard: apparently the documentation is the copyright and the changelog :S
[01:35] <valehru> Socceroos_Woooot, no problem
[01:35] <pandamonium> what i mean is at o/s layer it tells the application layers "i've got it" and they believe it
[01:35] <neotard> use pastebin
[01:35] <valehru> you wouldnt know a distro with that kernel though?
[01:36] <guard> kr4z: let me check for i got the docs from it. sorry just had a fresh install myself
[01:36] <he11work> im not using ubunto.. im on windows atm.... till i can figure this out :d
[01:36] <constantine-xvi> no matter what mirror i use, most of the repositories bounce out with a 403 in apt-get update
[01:36] <Jemt> he11work: Put it on pastebin.org
[01:36] <valehru> @ Socceroos_Woooot , you wouldnt know a distro with that kernel though?
[01:36] <he11work> k
[01:36] <pandamonium> ok neotard above... was getting a little confused at the system map

[01:39] <Socceroos_Woooot> oops - see judah
[01:39] <JanHammer> heh
[01:39] <guard> kr4z: sorry seems i have lot to do to restore the system before my renistall. i am sure i got the docs from the dir i told you about check the zip files and installed files on your sys. good luck and now i have 6-7 hours of config and restore take care
[01:39] <ebaad> I have tested almost everything
[01:39] <Socceroos_Woooot> ebaad: sorry about that
[01:39] <JanHammer> I fixed my res issue
[01:39] <ebaad> no problem
[01:39] <ebaad> congrats Janhammer
[01:39] <JanHammer> turns out if I just set the res in xorg, X auto calcs the needed refresh
[01:39] <ebaad> you have been struggling with it for a while
[01:39] <JanHammer> so now I'm on 60
[01:40] <ebaad> wow
[01:40] <ebaad> thats great news
[01:40] <JanHammer> yeah :P
[01:40] <pandamonium> generic question: if i am using a mail server, would it suffice to change my mx record at my ISP/domain host to my IP and will my server here pick it up or do I need to setup DNS?
[01:40] <he11work> Jemt: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16301
[01:40] <neotard> JanHammer:  it doesn't always get it right :)
[01:40] <he11work> if it worked thats it
[01:40] <ebaad> hey whatever works man
[01:40] <JanHammer> neotard, luckily this time it did ^_^
[01:40] <Mouzz> I have accidently removed 13 packages which I need... I have removed libgl1-mesa-dev which led to 13 pkg's to be removed... (I have names). Now if I try to reinstall them, I get dependency error's... Can anyone assist?
[01:40] <he11work> Jemt:first its ifconfig -a then its iwconfig, then its lspci -v i think
[01:40] <Jemt> he11work: Checking
[01:40] <judah> pandamonium: dns will have to resolv whatever domain you use for mail to the ip of the primary mx.
[01:41] <steve> pan: you'd need dns
[01:41] <he11work> thanks Jemt :D
[01:41] <neotard> Mouzz:  just uninstalled and want to reinstall, when you do system says you need another package and it won't be installed?
[01:41] <constantine-xvi> does anyone know what on mars is wrong with the package archives?
[01:41] <ebaad> i guess now i will try to work on the things that were not working in Breezey
[01:42] <ebaad> just one comment that I lost the installation of office suite
[01:42] <pandamonium> judah, can i set that ip at my remote dns only or do i need to set it up on the local system too?
[01:42] <Mouzz> neotard: If i try to install e.g. lib-cairo2-dev, it sais: libcairo2-dev: Depends: libcairo2 (1.0.4) but 1.1.10 is to be installed
[01:42] <Jemt> he11work: My guess would still be eth1 being your wireless network card. Try 'dhclient eth1' to optain an IP adress to it. You could also try using the Networking manager found under "Administration" or "Preferences" (don't remeber which)
[01:42] <JanHammer> heh, did you guys notice that dapper drake doesn't have xscreensaver installed default? :/
[01:43] <KenSentMe> JanHammer: it works now? great!
[01:43] <judah> pandamonium: sounds like you might want to draw it out on paper.. and your dns for the domain will have to correspond to where your mail is sent.
[01:43] <Jemt> he11work: Wait.. You need to set a SSID first - 'dhclient eth1' alone won't work
[01:43] <JanHammer> KenSentMe, yep :>
[01:43] <fiyawerx_> anonymouse: im ready to give up on i386 as well, heh
[01:43] <steve> xscreensaver seems to be there, CLI not as normal though
[01:43] <judah> you can update the main ip for your domain to something other than what it's already set too.
[01:43] <KenSentMe> JanHammer: you added 1280 or what?
[01:43] <neotard> Mouzz:  what's "dpkg --configure --pending" do for you?
[01:43] <JanHammer> yeah, and X calced the needed refresh KenSentMe
[01:43] <KenSentMe> JanHammer: cool
[01:44] <JanHammer> the monitor didn't go boom
[01:44] <he11work> Jemt: ive already configured all that stuff, the only thing left is the dhcp i think.. i did all the commands for the right freq,mode,essid,key and whatnot
[01:44] <judah> ie.. foo.org used to be 111.11.1.112 and then you update the dns record so that foo.org now points to 222.22.2.221 where you want to start running your mail server.
[01:44] <Mouzz> neotard: no output at all
[01:44] <judah> ie.. don't change the ips of the machines.. change the dns records.
[01:45] <JanHammer> KenSentMe, if you ever see anyone with that problem be sure to remember that :P
[01:45] <judah> then of course.. configure postfix to accept mail for foo.org AND NOT BE AN OPEN RELAY..
[01:45] <neotard> Mouzz:  when you do install using apt, add "-f"
[01:46] <judah> open relay == SO BAD..
[01:46] <pandamonium> judah, i have a domain with a certain supplier who provides a DNS management tool. i can set mx there. if i set that to my local IP, i have a hardware router with the ubuntu box behind (client side). what i was wondering is... do i need to setup a dns on the local side of the router?
[01:46] <he11work> Jemt: this is what ive already done with it http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16303
[01:46] <judah> and if you don't know about that.. plz learn about that before setting up a mail server.
[01:46] <Mouzz> neotard: I installed XGL (which worked) but I wanted to uninstall so I backtracked my steps and instead of 'apt-get install [pkg-X] ' I did a 'apt-get removed [pkg-X] ' and I didn't realize it would remove 13 pkgs
[01:46] <neotard> open relay can get your port closed on some ISPs :)
[01:47] <Jemt> Checking
[01:47] <Mouzz> neotard: With -f, still the same result
[01:47] <he11work> thanks Jemt :D
[01:47] <Jemt> :)
[01:47] <carverk> who are the maker of prosavage graphics cards
[01:47] <judah> pandamonium: as long as your local machine (the mail server) can resolv names to the internet you will be fine.. you don't HAVE to run bind on your mail server.
[01:47] <KenSentMe> JanHammer: i sure will
[01:47] <Jemt> he11work: Sorry, I don't know the iwconfig tool. Use the Networking manager
[01:47] <neotard> Mouzz:  have you changed anything in your /etc/apt/Sources.list recently?
[01:47] <judah> pandamonium: as long as the internet knows how to get to your local server.
[01:47] <Jemt> he11work: I can't say if you have messed up some configuration files now
[01:48] <neotard> Mouzz:  sounds like you have discrepencies between the repository and your local machine.  try an "apt-get update" then reinstall
[01:48] <neotard> Mouzz:  reinstall the package you want :)
[01:48] <he11work> jemt: ive tried that.... and i configured it, and activated it and i hit ok and it goes and does its thing and i dont get any errors, but then i try to go online and it doesnt work, and then if i try to use the dhcp on network manager then it freezes up when i hit ok
[01:48] <JanHammer> hum, where have half the screensavers gone on the settings? and BSOD (that one was uber :/)
[01:49] <Mouzz> neotard: yes... I removed the sources of the packages I had installed...
[01:49] <neotard> Mouzz:  that would be it then
[01:49] <neotard> Mouzz:  :)
[01:49] <judah> he11work: it'll return.. it's just waiting for your dhcp lease..
[01:49] <constantine-xvi> neotard: unless my corner of earth is in bizarroland, the apt archives are bouncing out 403s
[01:49] <judah> he11work: make sure you get a valid nameserver from your dhcp server..
[01:49] <judah> he11work: check in /etc/resolv.conf for a line mentioning nameserver
[01:49] <he11work> judah: ive waited over 3 minutes before.. the clock on the comp even freezes
[01:49] <neotard> Mouzz:  if you removed a source from Sources.list, then you need to run update
[01:49] <JanHammer> hum, where have half the screensavers gone on the settings? and BSOD (that one was uber :/)
[01:50] <judah> he11work: well i doin't know anything about that then.. sorry.
[01:50] <neotard> Mouzz:  if you're using one of the graphical tools choose the update option, or run "apt-get update" from the commandline
[01:50] <he11work> thansk anyway judah ill try looking in /etc/resolf.conf when i get back on ubuntu
[01:50] <pandamonium> ok... thanks judah. i'm going to use a remote smtp with authentication to send mail rather than a local service. i think i can set my server to do that, yes?
[01:50] <neotard> Mouzz:  sorry, "sudo apt-get update"
[01:50] <Jemt> he11work: Hm, weird.
[01:50] <neotard> constantine-xvi:  I haven't had any issues
[01:51] <he11work> Jemt:yeah and ive read up everything i can about the belkin g wirless F5D7000 wireless cards
[01:51] <constantine-xvi> neotard: what archive do you use?
[01:51] <Jemt> he11work: Could be a driver problem
[01:52] <Awesome-o2000> he11work, I had the same problem. My kernel panicked and froze my box every timme. I gave up on it. I wish you the best
[01:52] <he11work> lol thanks Awesome-o2000 :P
[01:52] <neotard> constantine-xvi:  default sources
[01:52] <constantine-xvi> odd
[01:52] <Awesome-o2000> sorry man but I dont see any evidence of ndiswrapper working yet
[01:52] <neotard> constantine-xvi:  just installed php5
[01:53] <he11work> damn i dont wanna buy a new damn wireless card.. that would suck.. but ide be much cheaper then getting an actual version of windows....
[01:53] <Mouzz> neotard: I added sources, ran update, installed packages, [tried em out] , removed sources, ran update, uninstalled packages...
[01:53] <Mouzz> neotard: That's what happened I think.
[01:53] <pandamonium> i've also been having some printer trouble... it seems quite trivial but i've tried a few things
[01:53] <neotard> Mouzz:  yeah, but you probably updated more than just that package it sounds like
[01:53] <vanberge> hellwork, you trying to get wireless to work on a laptop?
[01:53] <he11work> no a desktop
[01:53] <Awesome-o2000> he11work, the problem wasnt with my network card - I had two of them and one was unused
[01:53] <Usunny> " but ide be much cheaper then getting an actual version of windows...."  <-- :D
[01:54] <pandamonium> local printing is fine
[01:54] <vanberge> hellwork, did you try ndiswrapper?
[01:54] <Snowfairy> I had to switch motherboards and it's not using eth0 and eth2 as my ethernet ports, is there a way to get it to renumber those properly?
[01:54] <he11work> i treid the command in ubuntu, but it said it wasnt a valid command... i think i had it installed on my comp but for some reason coudlnt get it to install when i tried to install it
[01:55] <JanHammer> Another question: what happened to xscreensaver in 6.06 of ubuntu? it's HIGHLY sugarcoated and screensavers have been removed
[01:55] <fletc900> Yeah
[01:55] <pandamonium> but from a windows machine (the wife's laptop) it doesn't seem to want to play at all. i have samba installed and can see the ubuntu box and connect using samba
[01:55] <vanberge> hellwork, i think you have to add the universe and multiverse  repos to get ndiswrapper
[01:55] <sysdoc> Will the dapper upgrade throw in a nvidia driver by default?
[01:55] <vanberge> hellwork, then you can do apt-get install ndiswrapper
[01:55] <fletc900> use linuxant it works!
[01:55] <JanHammer> Seveas, are you a dev?
[01:55] <neotard> Mouzz:  hmm, lib-cairo.. what version of ubontu you working on?
[01:55] <Mouzz> neotard: What would be the best way to undo all that I have done? :) Is it possible?
[01:55] <pandamonium> but the printing doesn't want to know at all
[01:55] <fletc900> CRTL-Z
[01:56] <JanHammer> Another question: what happened to xscreensaver in 6.06 of ubuntu? it's HIGHLY sugarcoated and screensavers have been removed. And how do I get it back? >:|
[01:56] <he11work> vanberge: im running windows XP right now to get online, i cant plug in
[01:56] <vanberge> ahh, gotcha
[01:56] <fletc900> Use the socket
[01:56] <pandamonium> incompatible drivers it says
[01:56] <neotard> Mouzz:  do and "apt-get clean" follow by "apt-get update" then "apt-get upgrade"
[01:56] <vanberge> can you use shortcut keys to switch between desktops?
[01:56] <vanberge> 1-4 ?
[01:56] <fletc900> yes
[01:57] <jrib> vanberge: yes, check in system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts
[01:57] <Mouzz> neotard: 6.06
[01:57] <he11work> vanberge: idk how to get both my OS's running at the same time.....
[01:57] <neotard> vanberge:  by default in X it's CTRL-LEFT/RIGHT
[01:57] <vanberge> jrib: tyvm
[01:57] <vanberge> hellwork, you can't plug in wiht network at al?
[01:57] <neotard> vanberge:  CTRL-ALT-LEFT/RIGHT, rather
[01:57] <vanberge> neotard: tyvm...
[01:57] <vanberge> :-)
[01:58] <Aap> hi i have a little prob: i want to play Enemy Territory, but when i run it, my resolution is changed and the game doesn't run
[01:58] <Usunny> define little :s
[01:58] <he11work> vanberge: no i cant... is there any other way??
[01:58] <Aap> sombody has a clue?
[01:58] <vanberge> hellwork... do you ahve dual boot set up?
[01:58] <he11work> eyah
[01:59] <Mouzz> neotard: "apt-get clean; apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" with what sources? Should I remove the XGL sources I added before?
[01:59] <vanberge> hellwork:  so you ubuntu can see your ntfs partition?
[01:59] <he11work> yeah
[01:59] <sysdoc> vanberge, there ya go
[01:59] <vanberge> hellwork, i suppose you might be able to download the ndiswrapper  package?
[02:00] <Aap> anybody tried to play "enemy territory" here?
[02:00] <neotard> Mouzz:  clean, clears out your repository of all the newer pacjkages you downloaded.  update will then rebuild the pointers in the fr the repository.  upgrade will then check dependencies and do the necessary work.
[02:00] <neotard> Aap:  play it all the time
[02:00] <SeanTater> artsd has some memory leak as is consuming 50% of available memory
[02:00] <vanberge> sysdoc: what do you mean?
[02:00] <neotard> Aap:  no, idk why you'd have issues though :)
[02:00] <he11work> vanberge:and how do i install it then in linux??
[02:00] <he11work> what are the commands?
[02:00] <dicesquirrel> Question... I just installed tdfsb from Synaptic, from one of the Ubuntu repos, and when I try to run it, I get a freeglut error like so. http://pastebin.ca/69477
[02:00] <sysdoc> vanberge, not to but in or anything but you are on the right track.
[02:00] <SeanTater> how do I stop artsd on it's memory-hoarding rampage?!
[02:00] <Aap> neotard: you have nvidia?
[02:01] <neotard> Aap:  nope
[02:01] <Aap> i have
[02:01] <dicesquirrel> What can I do to get this running? I can run other opengl apps like Enemy Territory just fine.
[02:01] <vanberge> lol, sysdoc - maybe you can tell hellwork the correct command to install the package?  :-)
[02:01] <sysdoc> vanberge,  suck down the drivers in windows and then bang them in via ndiswrapper
[02:01] <vanberge> i dont remember it
[02:01] <sysdoc> ya I can do that
[02:01] <Aap> dicesquirrel: how did you get ET running?
[02:01] <sysdoc> not a problem
[02:01] <he11work> Seveas
[02:01] <he11work> bah
[02:02] <he11work> sysdoc, will u join #nub and explain it to me there :p
[02:02] <dicesquirrel> Aap: easily? there were no problems.
[02:02] <Aap> weird
[02:02] <dicesquirrel> Anyone have any experience using TDFSB? It looks ungodly cool, right out of Neuromancer or something.
[02:02] <Awesome-o2000> he11work, ndiswrapper is what killed me. SUpposedly it works, but I havent seen it do so
[02:03] <sysdoc> he11work, sure be right there
[02:03] <Aap> on my comp, ET can't start and turns the resolution into something really small
[02:03] <he11work> thanks
[02:03] <sysdoc> 1 sec
[02:03] <vanberge> Awesome-o2000: i use it in my laptop and have had no prolems.
[02:03] <he11work> i was running the live knopix cd for a while and i tried using ndiswrapper there to get it working... but it just wouldnt work for me :'(
[02:03] <Awesome-o2000> i wonder what causes that panic in kthread on my system...
[02:03] <neotard> dicesquirrel:  no.. but just installed it and got the same error :D
[02:03] <vanberge> Awesome-o2000: that might be why it  works for me... i dont use kde
[02:03] <dicesquirrel> neotard: heh, awesome. What's a squirrel to do?
[02:03] <vanberge> maybe?
[02:04] <Awesome-o2000> I dont use kde either.
[02:04] <ardchoille> he11work: There are some ndiswrapper users in #lfd, maybe they can help you out with it
[02:04] <vanberge> hellwork...  it hinki can help you if you need
[02:04] <he11work> join #nub if you can help me :D
[02:04] <he11work> thanks once again
[02:05] <cookiecaper> :\ I'm having problems with my new ATi card ... it keeps telling me no GL support is present for a lot of things, although I've installed all the fglrx stuff I can find and the official drivers.
[02:05] <Aap> i don't understand that ET shit anymore
[02:05] <Aap> one cool game on linux, and i can't play it
[02:05] <Awesome-o2000> cookiecaper, welcome to ATI on linux.
[02:05] <Awesome-o2000> Aap, what happened?
[02:05] <BSG75> hiya, I just installed banshee upon recommendation from here for my ipod.. anyone know how I tell to put songs in my ipod?
[02:05] <Awesome-o2000> no more et?
[02:05] <cookiecaper> Awesome-o2000, great, thanks man. Will someone help? : (
[02:05] <Aap> Awesome: it crashes when i want to start
[02:06] <Aap> well it never starts actually
[02:06] <Socceroos_Woooot> BSG75: banshee gets recommended a lot. Another is gtkpod
[02:06] <dicesquirrel> Aap: when I used it on Fedora Core 5, the first few times I started it up, I had to wait a long time before it would finally start up. And it would do that low-resolution scrolly desktop thing to me too.
[02:06] <dicesquirrel> Aap: Have you run it in the terminal?
[02:06] <Awesome-o2000> Aap, your video drivers are screwed up? it works great here
[02:07] <Aap> dicesquirrel: both in terminal and applications/other/ET
[02:07] <Socceroos_Woooot> BSG75: ignore that, i didn't read your question clearly :/
[02:07] <Aap> Awesome: i don't know about the drivers
[02:07] <dicesquirrel> BSG75: I've had more success with gtkpod, personally.
[02:07] <dicesquirrel> Aap: what sort of messages does it give you? Any error messages?
[02:07] <dicesquirrel> Aap: There's a lot of threads about ET on the forums, might want to check there to see if anyone's had a similar experience.
[02:07] <BSG75> kk I will install gtkpod.. I plugged in my ipod and ubuntu saw it right away .. I just can't tell banshee to actually do something other than burn songs to cd
[02:08] <BSG75> which is rather annoying
[02:08] <Aap> i checked all forums
[02:08] <dicesquirrel> BSG75: Totally. I'm not a big fan of banshee. I use gtkpod for my iPod shuffle, and Rhythmbox for everything else :)
[02:09] <dicesquirrel> Aap: Does it hang, or actually crash?
[02:09] <vanberge> anybody good with 'vlc' ?
[02:09] <BSG75> hehe brb installing gtkpod
[02:09] <vanberge> trying to make it play dvd's
[02:09] <Usunny> vanberge , whats up?
[02:09] <Usunny> mkay ?
[02:09] <Aap> dicesquirrel: it's starting (still in the terminal) and my screenresolution changes
[02:09] <dicesquirrel> vanberge: have you used easyubuntu or automatix or something to install the appropriate codecs?
[02:09] <Usunny> im guessing it wont work ? :>
[02:10] <Usunny> vlc don't need no codecs ?
[02:10] <vanberge> dicesquirrel: Usunny,  i installed the proper codecs... totem-xine can play dvd just fine.  but i like vlc better.  :-)
[02:10] <Usunny> what kind of file is it ?
[02:10] <Aap> i downloaded the latest patch now
[02:10] <vanberge> Usunny: a dvd disk
[02:10] <Aap> so cross them fingers!
[02:10] <Usunny> ah
[02:10] <Usunny> i see
[02:10] <Intelligi> I almost got everything archived on another computer now.
[02:11] <dicesquirrel> Aap: if there aren't any errors, don't move your mouse to scroll the desktop or anything, just let it work for a while. If after five minutes of patience and no movement it hasn't started, then something's wrong. But sometimes ET is just a slow bastard
[02:11] <Intelligi> I just need to archive my old emails and 1 other file.
[02:11] <Intelligi> Then I will install Ubuntu.
[02:11] <dicesquirrel> vanberge: hmm... I don't know, it's odd. VLC seems to work worse on Linux for me than it does on PC or Mac.
[02:11] <Aap> dicesquirrel: ok
[02:11] <Usunny> hm i really don't know then, sorry
[02:11] <Aap> i'm going to let it run and go for a smoke :d
[02:11] <dicesquirrel> vanberge: I've resigned myself to totem, personally, I find no big fault with it.
[02:11] <cookiecaper> :\ I'm having problems with my new ATi card ... it keeps telling me no GL support is present for a lot of things, although I've installed all the fglrx stuff I can find and the official drivers.
[02:12] <Aap> dicesquirrel: Sys_Error: GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem
[02:12] <Aap> 
[02:12] <vanberge> dicesquirrel: it must just be buggy... its playing fine now
[02:12] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: what sort of errors are you getting? API errors or something of that nature?
[02:12] <vanberge> when i would do it before, it would just close
[02:12] <dicesquirrel> vanberge: yeaaah, VLC is kinda sketchy like that for me too. Dunno what the deal is.
[02:12] <nGen> 20
[02:12] <Aap> dicesquirrel: Sys_Error: GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem -> you got that too?
[02:12] <vanberge> dicesquirrel: k... thnks.  :-)
[02:13] <nGen> ops
[02:13] <Intelligi> Nevermind, I just accidentally deleted th 1 file...some large porn file...
[02:13] <dicesquirrel> Aap: hrm... no, I didn't. What sort of card do you have?
[02:13] <Intelligi> Anyway, how do I save all my emails in Outlook Express?
[02:13] <Intelligi> It doesn't seem possible.
[02:13] <Aap> dicesquirrel: nvidia geforce
[02:13] <Mouzz> Is there something like a cache file for the /etc/apt/sources.list or something? I had removed a certain entry but it keeps popping up when running apt-get update.
[02:14] <cookiecaper> dicesquirrel, stellarium says, sdl: Couldn't set 1024x768 video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual!, mplayer -vo gl says [gl]  no GLX support present, tuxkart PW: Unable to open a suitable graphics window,
[02:14] <dicesquirrel> Aap: and how did you get your drivers for it?
[02:14] <Frederick> folks how do I remove the fortunes in portuguese? they suck
[02:14] <Aap> dicesquirrel : apt-get ....
[02:14] <lufis> If I compiled my kernel without iptables support, does that mean i have no firewall protection?
[02:14] <cookiecaper> dicesquirrel, I might be missing some stuff too, I haven't ever had functional 3d acceleration on here ... I just got this ATi card today.
[02:14] <crimsun> lufis: via netfilter, correct
[02:14] <dicesquirrel> Aap: I've found that either easyubuntu or Automatix works best for grabbing and applying the best drivers for your GPU. Try one of those, maybe?
[02:15] <lufis> crimsun: what?
[02:15] <Aap> dicesquirrel: so format my pc and put easyubuntu on it?
[02:15] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: ahh, there's a wiki entry that should work for you, it did for me... one sec
[02:15] <TLE> How can I execute a script at login time as root, add it in .xsession ?
[02:15] <dicesquirrel> Aap: no no, easyubuntu is just a program you run after you've installed ubuntu. Not like another distro or anything that drastic
[02:15] <Aap> ok, i'm in the really big resolution now
[02:16] <Aap> oh
[02:16] <Aap> can i apt-get that?
[02:16] <callie> hi guys, anyone ever lost the middle click paste function before?
[02:16] <Socceroos_Woooot> TLE: add it to /etc/rc.local
[02:16] <Mouzz> lufis: unless you have a different firewall than netfilter (unlikely) you don't have a firewall
[02:16] <dicesquirrel> Aap: Don't think so... but go to ubuntuforums.org and search for easyubuntu. It's a stickied thread
[02:16] <pianoboy3333> I recently compiled the 2.6.17.1 kernel, but internet doesn't work in it, does anyone know what I can do?
[02:16] <Aap> okay thx,
[02:16] <Aap> i started ET from the applications panel now
[02:16] <carmen> hola
[02:17] <Aap> and i'm in large resolution, maybe it will come, but in ps aux, i don't see it
[02:17] <carmen> hola alguien quiere charlar un rato con migo
[02:17] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[02:17] <gnomefreak> !es
[02:17] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[02:18] <dicesquirrel> hehe...wow
[02:18] <NILTON> hello
[02:18] <Intelligi> Ok, copied the .dbx files.
[02:18] <Intelligi> I am ready to install Ubuntu!
[02:18] <gnomefreak> !ati > cookiecaper
[02:18] <TLE> Socceroos_Woooot: Thanx, is that file executed when I log in as a user ?
[02:18] <carmen> hello
[02:18] <Intelligi> I have some questions about that.
[02:18] <Intelligi> Can anyone help me?
[02:18] <gnomefreak> carmen: join #ubuntu-es for spanish
[02:18] <dicesquirrel> Intelligi: good on you, Intelligi! Glad you're coming over to the Light Side
[02:19] <gnomefreak> Intelligi: ask them and we will see what we can do
[02:19] <Snowfairy> Is there some sort of manual configuration to the mpg123 previewing MP3 files in Nautilus?  It used to work, but I've had to change motherboards (hence sound).   Sound works, but previewing does not anymore.
[02:19] <Socceroos_Woooot> TLE: no, at boot time
[02:19] <dicesquirrel> Intelligi: you're not using the liveCD?
[02:19] <Snowfairy> Everything I can find online, simply says install mpg123... I've uninstalled and reinstalled and even done dpkg-reconfigure.  To no avail.
[02:19] <Intelligi> Ok, I want to completely get rid of Windows 98. I no longer want to use this OS at all. Should I format my hard drive first or something, or just stick the Live CD in?
[02:19] <Snowfairy> I remember when you didn't have to rely on Linux to do it for you ;)
[02:20] <carmen> HELLO
[02:20] <ardchoille> Intelligi: the install cd will take care of that for you
[02:20] <Aap> dicesquirrel: i can't even start easyubuntu (couldn't open display)
[02:20] <ardchoille> carmen: hello
[02:20] <dicesquirrel> Intelligi: you can use the LiveCD to completely wipe the computer and install Ubuntu. It's quite awesome!
[02:20] <Intelligi> Ok, good.
[02:20] <Intelligi> Later.
[02:20] <gnomefreak> carmen: for spanish join #ubuntu-es
[02:20] <dicesquirrel> Aap: hrm... any error messages?
[02:20] <vanberge> lol
[02:20] <carmen> HELLO ardchoille
[02:20] <vanberge> intelligi is the man
[02:20] <Aap> RuntimeError: could not open display
[02:21] <dicesquirrel> Aap: and if easyubuntu doesn't work, Automatix also does a lot of what easyubuntu does, including nvidia drivers
[02:21] <fiyawerx_> hey guys, im trying to decide which to use between kubuntu or just the gnome manager, why do you guys choose gnome?
[02:21] <vanberge> fiyawerx_: i use gnome because it is softer
[02:21] <gnomefreak> fiyawerx_: ask that in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[02:21] <Bot_Builder> hmm, none of the backup utils are working for me.  I get stuff like
[02:21] <Bot_Builder> mirrordir: error trying chown/chgrp regular file: /media/hda1/home/michael/.Trash/bulb.gif: Operation not permitted
[02:21] <jrib> fiyawerx_: you should try both, it's highly subjective
[02:21] <ardchoille> dicesquirrel: please don't recommend automatix to folks
[02:21] <cookiecaper> Thanks gnomefreak and dicesquirrel, I'll reboot now and let you know how it goes. : )
[02:21] <vanberge> fiyawerx_: kde is more 'bubbly' in my opinion.  louder colors, etc.
[02:21] <salah> is there any other ways to open a application with sudo without having a console open?
[02:21] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: why not?
[02:22] <Bot_Builder> odd thing is I prefixed it with sudo
[02:22] <ardchoille> !automatix
[02:22] <ubotu> automatix is a script that automates installation of some items and has been reported to break your system while doing that, please see http://help.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDocumentation instead.
[02:22] <Snowfairy> Can anyone tell me how to manually configure the mpg123 previews in nautilus?  The packages are installed, but something about the configuration isn't.
[02:22] <dicesquirrel> eek
[02:22] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: things changed
[02:22] <carmen> HELLO
[02:22] <TLE> Ohh, I'm not sure that'll work. You see the problem is that I have that damned DHCP bug, so my internet doesn't start up at boot time. But I can "fix" it by disable/enable eth0 once I have logged in. But I'll give it a try and see if it works
[02:22] <dicesquirrel> It certainly worked well for me, I'm sorry, I didn't know of its instability
[02:22] <fiyawerx_> i'd be happy with either if i could get freenx working, lol
[02:22] <BSG75> hmm anyone use gtkpod with the Rockr?
[02:23] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: can i pm you real fast please?
[02:23] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: automatix doesn't cause any problems anymore?
[02:23] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: sure :)
[02:23] <gnomefreak> ty
[02:23] <Mouzz> neotard: thnx for the help! I think I'm good now...
[02:24] <dicesquirrel> I just know that it worked beautifully for me when I installed Ubuntu two weeks ago.
[02:24] <dicesquirrel> Compared to the week-long ordeal I went through to get everything similar running on Fedora Core 5... much nicer
[02:24] <Snowfairy> Automatix has successfully broken systems.  If it worked for you, consider yourself lucky.
[02:24] <Snowfairy> You're the exception, not the rule. :)
[02:24] <Mouzz> dicesquirrel: Does it install _all_ or can you choose which parts to install?
[02:24] <dicesquirrel> Mouzz: you can choose
[02:24] <pianoboy3333> I recently compiled the 2.6.17.1 kernel, but internet doesn't work in it, does anyone know what I can do?
[02:25] <gnomefreak> Snowfairy: it has changed
[02:25] <JanHammer> prod to all ubuntu geeks
[02:25] <dicesquirrel> Mouzz: some of the stuff I didn't find necessary
[02:25] <JanHammer> how do I add to the menu?
[02:25] <Mouzz> dicesquirrel: indeed...
[02:25] <Aap> how do you start automatix?
[02:25] <Snowfairy> gnomefreak, on a system as easy to break as linux in the first place :) (it's almost getting as easy to break as windows) automatix would still be considered risky >P
[02:25] <dli_> pianoboy3333, you missed the NIC driver?
[02:25] <dicesquirrel> Applications>Accessories>Alacarte, JanHammer
[02:25] <JanHammer> thanks
[02:25] <pianoboy3333> dli_: ooohhh.. maybe..
[02:26] <pianoboy3333> damn
[02:26] <gnomefreak> Snowfairy: this is not a debate it is ok everything 3rd party is use at your own risk but we are not against automatix
[02:26] <Aap> ok is working (automatix)
[02:26] <dicesquirrel> Aap: good
[02:26] <Snowfairy> gnomefreak, last I knew it was heavily recommended not to use automatix.
[02:27] <Snowfairy> and I still won't recommend it.
[02:27] <gnomefreak> Snowfairy: different developers and now its  ateam
[02:27] <Snowfairy> if you like it, good for you.
[02:27] <boricua> i dont understand neither add/remove  NOR synaptic finds eboard but apt-get does, do they use different config files?????
[02:27] <gnomefreak> i wont either but truthfully you dont wanna talk bad about either in here
[02:27] <JanHammer> finally, my favorite screensavers :>
[02:27] <Snowfairy> I will certainly say that it breaks systems and is not recommended.
[02:27] <dicesquirrel> boricua: as far as I know, they all use apt-get.
[02:27] <Mouzz> Where can you temporarily disable gdm for, say, runlevel 3?
[02:28] <boricua> dicesquirrel: then i have no explanation for that behaviour
[02:28] <neotard> Mouzz:  can just turn it off with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[02:28] <dicesquirrel> boricua: I chalk up a lot to "magic" and leave it at that :D
[02:28] <Snowfairy> Automatix == Use at your own risk.
[02:28] <Aap> dicesquirrel: wow that automatix is great
[02:28] <gnomefreak> Snowfairy: do as you wish
[02:28] <dicesquirrel> Aap: heh, I'd do a reboot before saying that. See if everything works
[02:28] <Aap> argh
[02:29] <dicesquirrel> Aap: At the very least, restart xorg for those new drivers to take effect.
[02:29] <Aap> oh hell i don't care, we'll see
[02:29] <Mouzz> neotard: but it crashes the system on start... But I presume I could move /etc/rc3.d/Sxx_gdm...
[02:29] <Aap> /etc/init.d/xorg restart?
[02:29] <Intelligi> Didn't work.
[02:29] <Intelligi> I don't have enough memory to run the Live CD.
[02:29] <neotard> Mouzz:  start in single-user mode
[02:30] <neotard> Mouzz:  it's an option in the grub menu
[02:30] <dicesquirrel> Intelligi: How much do you -have-?
[02:30] <Intelligi> 128.
[02:30] <neotard> Mouzz:  you'll startup to a root prompt and no X services will load.
[02:30] <Mouzz> neotard: but I need a network :)
[02:30] <dicesquirrel> Aap: just alt-ctrl-backspace works fo rme.
[02:30] <debian_> anyone here familiar with getting the "top" button below the scroll wheel on a logitech mx310 to be mapped as the "middle" button instead of having to press down the scroll wheel? i got all the buttons on the mice working and are detected when i run xev, but im not familiar with how to remap the button functions
[02:30] <neotard> Mouzz:  that will load a network
[02:31] <neotard> Mouzz:  it's everything but X services, dumping you to a root commandline
[02:31] <jrib> debian_: xmodmap can do it (you can interchange the buttons).  You familiar with it?
[02:31] <debian_> not particularly, but ill google up on it for a while, thanks
[02:31] <dicesquirrel> Intelligi: hmm, that seems fairly low-spec for an Ubuntu install... 256 seems to be the average minimum. Xubuntu is much more resource-light, perhaps that would be better for you?
[02:31] <Mouzz> neotard: I see :) didn;t know that...
[02:32] <Intelligi> *sigh*
[02:32] <Intelligi> Guess I'll just stay with Windows until I can afford another stick of memory.
[02:32] <cookiecaper> It didn't work guys : ( fglrxinfo returns Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual! and none of the stuff opens ; (
[02:32] <jrib> debian_: well basically you can use this to change buttons 6 and 7: pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 7 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20      <-- you can pop that in ~/.xmodmaprc and it gets loaded when gnome loads or you can just run xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 7 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20"
[02:32] <dicesquirrel> Intelligi: let's see what can be done before we go jumping to something like XFCE, though
[02:33] <pjw> hi, all. I have written a simple script, for example: #!/bin/bash export SERVER_ROOT="path" and it doesn't work. Why? Doesn't Ubuntu allow to run scripts?
[02:33] <debian_> jrib: thanks a bunch
[02:33] <gnomefreak> pjw: are they on seprate lines?
[02:33] <ardchoille> pjw: did you make it executale?
[02:33] <dark_light> pjw, you must do chmod +x name
[02:33] <pjw> yes
[02:34] <pjw> chmod +x - It have also
[02:34] <pjw> it has*
[02:34] <woopwoop> I am having problem with my aspect ratio in programs that use Xine. I have a widescreen monitor and everything is displayed squished almost as though Xine is locked into rendering at 4:3. The video window looks like a widescreen video played on a 4:3 monitor and stretched out. How can I let Xine know the proper dimensions for my monitor?
[02:35] <neotard> pjw:  it's not an ubuntu issue, I use custom scripts all the time :)
[02:35] <pjw> english language isnt my first language, i'm sorry for mistakes
[02:35] <Rebecca354> Can anyone help me out with my WEP key, for some reason I can't connect to my WIFI using my key
[02:36] <jrib> pjw: are you sure it doesn't work?  (your script loads a new bash and exports the variable there)  To see this, add the line: echo SERVER_ROOT             in your script
[02:36] <Rebecca354> Someone was saying I need to enter my key in HEX form but I don't speak HEX
[02:36] <dark_light> pjw, english isn't my first language too. but your english seems fine
[02:36] <jrib> pjw: tat should be: echo $SERVER_ROOT
[02:36] <cookiecaper> dicesquirrel, It didn't work : ( fglrxinfo returns Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual! and none of the stuff opens ; (
[02:36] <pjw> jrib: I check it by echo
[02:36] <ardchoille> jrib: ah hah! it's a variable, that's why
[02:36] <carme> nchat.com
[02:36] <Rebecca354> any ideas?
[02:36] <vanberge> is there a way to set the default program for ipods?  i.e. when i connect my ipod, rythmbox opens
[02:36] <Mouzz> neotard: I have installed XGL (upgrading some X libs from other repositories) and then tried to uninstall it. Now gdm freezes the system on startup. Where do I start with the repair? I would like to go back to the packages in at most universe or so... Is there a way? (have tried the apt-get clean, update, upgrade)
[02:37] <pjw> It doesn't work
[02:37] <carme> HELLO
[02:37] <jrib> pjw: the echo line is in your script?
[02:37] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: hmm.... I'm combing the forums
[02:37] <pjw> no
[02:37] <jrib> pjw: try that, you will see what is happening
[02:37] <ardchoille> carme: why are you back under a diff nick? Yes, we see you in the channel.
[02:37] <spikeb> vanberge: system>preferences>removable drives and media
[02:37] <pjw> ok
[02:38] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: could you open your xorg.conf (in /etc/X11/ ) and tell me what driver it says you're using?
[02:38] <neotard> Mouzz:  in single-user mode does startx work?
[02:38] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: and is this after a restart of xorg?
[02:38] <vanberge> spikeb: tyvm
[02:38] <dark_light> pjw, your script will not export variables unless it uses the export command
[02:38] <carme> HOLA UN CHAVO QUE QUIERA CHARLAR UN RATO CON MIGO
[02:38] <Mouzz> neotard: yes it does.
[02:38] <jrib> !es
[02:38] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[02:38] <Rebecca354> anyone else having problems using their WEP key for wireless network?
[02:38] <dark_light> pjw, the SERVER_ROOT should be seen only inside the script
[02:38] <neotard> Mouzz:  so you can use X in single-user mode?
[02:38] <ardchoille> jrib: he's been told many times, he isn't listening
[02:39] <cookiecaper> yes, this is after a restart, and xorg.conf says I'm using ati
[02:39] <jrib> ardchoille: oh
[02:39] <dark_light> pjw, try export SERVER_ROOT="something"
[02:39] <cookiecaper> I installed the official drivers from the site before you gave me that link ... is that messing things up maybe?
[02:39] <pjw> I have written a script: #!/bin/bash echo $HOME it works
[02:39] <Rebecca354> Do I need to put prefix my key with s: ?
[02:39] <Mouzz> neotard: yes I can. It's works
[02:39] <neotard> Mouzz:  odd, because gdm uses the same settings.
[02:40] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: okay, let me post my xorg.conf to a pastebin, and you can compare yours to mine
[02:40] <dark_light> pjw, so your problem is that you are trying to export a variable without the export command
[02:40] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: what card are you using?
[02:40] <dark_light> pjw, help export
[02:40] <pjw> dark_light: I would like to configure by a script
[02:40] <cookiecaper> dicesquirrel, 9600 Pro
[02:40] <jrib> pjw: try this: #!/bin/bash  export SERVER_ROOT="path"; echo $SERVER_ROOT
[02:40] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: not too terribly far off from mine. I'm using a 9000 Mobility
[02:40] <paradizelost> hey all, anyone know of a good howto for setting up an openvpn server on dapper?
[02:40] <pjw> ok
[02:41] <jrib> pjw: and then run your command like this: echo $SERVER_ROOT; ./script.sh ; echo $SERVER_ROOT
[02:41] <Rebecca354> Can anyone help me out, I'm having trouble with my WEP key for my WIFI network
[02:41] <dicesquirrel> http://pastebin.ca/69485
[02:41] <jrib> pjw: your script works, but it doesn't do what you want it to :)
[02:41] <dark_light> pjw, yes, i got it
[02:41] <cookiecaper> dicesquirrel, ok, I'll check it out
[02:41] <Mouzz> neotard: starting gdm, I see a mouse cursor and the background maybe but then it goes into text mode and shows a text cursor (underscore) not blinking
[02:42] <init_6> Hi all.  Anyone in here use Kyocera 650 EVDO
[02:42] <dark_light> pjw, you might find a better explanation on #bash, that is a bash-related channel
[02:42] <neotard> Mouzz:  are you running ati or nvidia drivers?
[02:42] <nf4> what port is ident
[02:42] <nf4> on
[02:42] <dicesquirrel> So, does anyone know how to get TDFSB working without that freeglut error? Heh, back to my original question.
[02:42] <ardchoille> pjw: #bash is awesome for bash-related stuff
[02:42] <grodius> Can someone help me? I installed flash for mozilla but I still cant use services like YouTube
[02:43] <gnomefreak> carme: join #ubuntu-es  you are muted now
[02:43] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: thank you :)
[02:43] <paradizelost> hey all, anyone know of a good howto for setting up an openvpn server on dapper?
[02:44] <Mouzz> neotard: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf containing "GdmXserverTimeout=0" wouldn't help , now would it :) I had it in there to prevent some other  crash but forgot to remove it... I'll try again :)
[02:44] <dark_light> grodius, how you installed flash?
[02:44] <Mouzz> neotard: I'm running fglrx btw
[02:44] <dark_light> grodius, you may need the flashplugin-nonfree package
[02:44] <nf4> the flash plugin is old too like flash 7 io belive
[02:45] <nf4> maby older
[02:45] <cookiecaper> dsqu, they're the same with the exception of the monitor's and your touchpad, although you load module i2c and I don't.
[02:45] <nf4> no wait 7 is what you need wine for
[02:45] <nf4> the flash plugin is way old
[02:45] <cookiecaper> dicesquirrel, they're the same with the exception of the monitor's and your touchpad, although you load module i2c and I don't.
[02:45] <cookiecaper> : )
[02:45] <realcoolguy> hey grodius, does it play without sound? or does it not play at all?
[02:45] <dli_> what's the version libwnck18 in dapper ?
[02:46] <jrib> pjw: to run your script and get it to do what you want, you can do this: . ./script.sh    OR    source script.sh
[02:46] <cookiecaper> I do get some errors about AGPPART or something in dmesg ... should I try disabling that?
[02:46] <pjw> jrib: SERVER_ROOT="path"; echo $SERVER_ROOT - It works inside the script, but it doesn't work out of the script
[02:47] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: you can always give it a try, backup backup backup :D
[02:47] <jrib> pjw: yes, because when you just run the script like that, it starts a new instance of bash and changes it there.  If you do    . ./script.sh     OR     source script.sh      it should work I think
[02:47] <Ap0s7le> Hey all, from what I can see you have a beautiful project going with Ubuntu... Quick question though, will it run fine on an older system of 800mhz?
[02:47] <Mouzz> neotard: Still the same... I see gdm starting up, brown background, round 'busy' mouse cursor, then the screen becomes black again and I see a text cursor... system halts (presumably 100% load). Something with the greeter?
[02:47] <jrib> pjw: that's the same way stuff in your ~/.bashrc does it
[02:48] <pjw> ok
[02:48] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: I have to be off, but if you want to talk with me some more if this problem persists, you can talk to me on AIM. Same name as here. :)
[02:48] <gnomefreak> carmen: you are now un mutted i sugest you speak english in here or go to #ubuntu-es
[02:49] <cookiecaper> ok, thanks. : )
[02:49] <boricua> apokryphos: best thing to do is to try it
[02:49] <apokryphos> ?
[02:50] <nf4> any one know what port ident is on
[02:50] <Ap0s7le> Quick question, will Ubuntu run ok on an older system of 800mhz?
[02:50] <realcoolguy> how much ram?
[02:50] <pjw> jrib: I have done it, it works!, thank you very much
[02:50] <vanberge> is there anything special you have to do with amarok to make it work with an ipod??
[02:50] <nf4> 800mhz should be fine if you have enough ram
[02:50] <spikeb> Ap0s7le: that processor will do fine. how much ram?
[02:51] <Ap0s7le> I think 256
[02:51] <jrib> pjw: np
[02:51] <spikeb> Ap0s7le: yeah, it will do fine.
[02:51] <spikeb> Ap0s7le: if it's too slow for you, try xubuntu.
[02:51] <zack> how do i install nvidia 81.78 drivers on breezy?
[02:51] <NickGarvey> xubuntu is sweet
[02:51] <NickGarvey> all about the right click
[02:51] <Ap0s7le> What is that?
[02:51] <rob_p> nf4, 113
[02:51] <nf4> you need to have at least 512mb imo
[02:51] <ardchoille> Ap0s7le: I'm using Ubuntu on an older system and it works fine for me :)
[02:51] <nf4> my system idle uses 250-300mb
[02:51] <NickGarvey> 512 for what?
[02:52] <zack> how do i install nvidia 81.78 drivers on breezy?
[02:52] <realcoolguy> I agree with nf4, 512/768 for a good experience (with all gui stuff, and processes/services running)
[02:52] <Ap0s7le> OK, thanks all. If it runs slow I'll just slap some more ram in it
[02:52] <NickGarvey> 512 for ubuntu? I run it fine on 256..
[02:52] <nf4> i would say you need a minium of 512mb of ram to run ubuntu
[02:52] <boricua> apokryphos: xubuntu is ubuntu but with xfce.org
[02:52] <pianoboy3333> anyone know about compiling kernels?
[02:52] <NickGarvey> I dunno maybe not, but I use gnome and stuff and it works ok for me
[02:52] <Leafw> anyone on powerpc knows how to make the command key be the control key? In kde this is trivial, but in gnome I can't see any option in the keyboard prefs
[02:52] <apokryphos> boricua: what?
[02:52] <spikeb> pianoboy3333: i know enough to seek out premade configs, and compile from that
[02:53] <gnomefreak> boricua: apokryphos knows that i think
[02:53] <NickGarvey> Leafw: maybe.. smoething in metacity or something.. I dunno I use kde
[02:53] <boricua> apokryphos: sorry not meant for you
[02:53] <zack> how do i install nvidia 81.78 drivers on breezy?
[02:53] <apokryphos> =)
[02:53] <apokryphos> zack: grab and install them from nvidia.com
[02:53] <Leafw> NickGarvey : "in metacity or something" :) oh right
[02:53] <boricua> apokryphos: no i am not
[02:53] <PORDO> when i use "switch user" and return to a login where the screensaver is going, it asks me for my password again, even though i just entered it.  is this problem being worked on?
[02:54] <Leafw> and which from all logs is the log of apps when they crash? the Add/remove crashes, the alacarte menu editor crashes ..
[02:54] <Ap0s7le> Also, I want to be able to use the desktop of the new Ubuntu box on this machine via SSH. I was told that's possible?
[02:54] <pianoboy3333> spikeb: my wifi isn't working in the 2.6.17.1 kernel, I figured it was because when I compiled I didn't end up with a restricted-modules package to install, I used: 'make-kpkg -initrd --revision=686 kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image' to compile, do you know if I need to add anything for a restricted-modules package?
[02:54] <zack> apokryphos, i downloaded the .run file but it wont work when i type sh filename.run
[02:54] <NickGarvey> Leafw: :)
[02:54] <spikeb> pianoboy3333: no ta clue
[02:54] <vanberge> would anybody be interested in helping me get my ipod recognized by 'amarok' ??  :-)
[02:54] <pianoboy3333> great
[02:54] <apokryphos> zack: what's the error? You're going to need to follow a guide to get all the necessary stuff
[02:54] <apokryphos> vanberge: check in #kubuntu
[02:55] <cookiecaper> Hwo do I install the xorg from Breezy? I'm in dapper now.
[02:55] <zack> apokryphos it has to do with compiling the kernal
[02:55] <vanberge> apokryphos: is amarok a kde app?
[02:56] <apokryphos> vanberge: yes
[02:56] <apokryphos> though it of course runs fine in gnome
[02:56] <vanberge> apokryphos: shoot... i dont even use kde.
[02:56] <Toma-> !irda
[02:56] <ubotu> I know nothing about irda
[02:56] <Toma-> :|
[02:56] <apokryphos> vanberge: doesn't matter :)
[02:56] <zack> apokryphos it says "no precompiled kernal interface was found to match my kernal"
[02:56] <vanberge> yeah but if you install kde apps then it instlls that huge kde base package doesnt it?
[02:56] <Ap0s7le> I want to be able to use the desktop of the new Ubuntu box on this machine via SSH. I was told that's possible?
[02:56] <apokryphos> zack: does it not try to get one from the net?
[02:56] <JanHammer> urg
[02:57] <JanHammer> another problem :P
[02:57] <Leafw> and the hplip doesn't get configured no matter what. May there by old conf files lying around? How to fix this mess?
[02:57] <JanHammer> I can't get my USB mic to work
[02:57] <JanHammer> on ubuntu
[02:57] <zack> apokryphos i have the option toget it from the nvidia ftp site but then it tells me no matching precompiled kernel interface was found
[02:58] <apokryphos> zack: and then?
[02:59] <zack> apokryphos i click ok and then it tells me i appear to compilng the nividia kernel module with a diffferent compiler than the one that was used to compile the running kernel
[03:00] <FarrisG> could some perl/curl-savy person help me troubleshoot this problem I've had with gotmail for a month?
[03:00] <Ap0s7le> I want to be able to use the desktop of the new Ubuntu box on this machine via SSH. I was told that's possible?
[03:00] <apokryphos> zack: do ./NVidiablahblah --help
[03:00] <apokryphos> zack: there's an option to use a different compiler, I think.
[03:01] <apokryphos> zack: actually, you may have luck trying to use dapper's nvidia. Shot in a dark, but worth a try.
[03:01] <hyperspace> Can anyone recommend a db diagram/design tool that is nice and compatible w/ Ubuntu.. for MySQL
[03:01] <ReleaseX> i'm having trouble burning dvds in k3b that are readable on a mac
[03:01] <tonyyarusso> Ap0s7le: There's remote desktop stuff (which I have tried) as well as X forwarding over ssh (which I have not).
[03:01] <Geoffrey2> is there any easy way to determine what music formats are supported by the gstreamer plugins you already have installed?
[03:01] <zack> apokryphos ./nvidia what?
[03:01] <GTroy> anything remotely similar to quicksilver for linux?
[03:01] <riddlebox> can I play a .gsm file in ubuntu?
[03:02] <apokryphos> zack: the nvidia driver you downloaded
[03:02] <apokryphos> GTroy: yes, katapult
[03:02] <apokryphos> it's good, but it could get better
[03:02] <zack> apokryphos , the filename?
[03:02] <apokryphos> yes
[03:02] <GTroy> thanks apokryphos
[03:02] <azureal> hi, why does "apt-get install qtparted" fail?
[03:03] <apokryphos> azureal: what's the error message?
[03:03] <GTroy> azureal check your repos
[03:03] <apokryphos> qtparted is in main
[03:03] <GTroy> or listen to apokryphos
[03:03] <GTroy> see you guys
[03:03] <azureal> ah
[03:03] <[Yatta] > how can i load a module higher up the ladder?? ( i hope that made sense?!?!)
[03:04] <azureal> apokryphos:  E: Couldn't find package qtparted .. i guess apt-get update wasnt enough?
[03:04] <[Yatta] > i want to load a module before a particualar module that is in my lernel
[03:04] <apokryphos> azureal: dapper/breezy?
[03:04] <ardchoille> azureal: did you enable universe and multiverse repos?
[03:04] <tonyyarusso> azureal, apokryphos: I've seen some people who don't have any repos enabled at all - don't know why.  That's my 2 cents.
[03:05] <teckfatt> hello, anyone know what software or package ubuntu used for auto mount the ex-harddisk(sda)? something like pmount and what else?
[03:05] <apokryphos> tonyyarusso: unless they specifically did that, it should never be the case.
[03:05] <eeejay_> what package gives me all the glib man pages?
[03:05] <apokryphos> ardchoille: qtparted is in main
[03:05] <hyperspace> teckfatt: ex-harddisk?
[03:05] <ardchoille> apokryphos: ah, ok
[03:05] <hyperspace> teckfatt: external?
[03:06] <tonyyarusso> apokryphos: I know, that's why I was confused when I read pastebins of like 3 people who only had the CD enabled.
[03:06] <teckfatt> hyperspace: yes
[03:06] <apokryphos> unless you're on breezy
[03:06] <azureal> tony: yea, that's probably it.. i'll check....

[03:08] <realcoolguy> whoa, slow down misery, don't get banned by spamming
[03:08] <realcoolguy> (oops I meant flooding)
[03:08] <apokryphos> !repeat
[03:08] <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://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[03:08] <inmiserysshadow> sorry for the flooding...I am having trouble installing
[03:09] <inmiserysshadow> the installation keeps hanging at 50%
[03:09] <spikeb> dont flood again.
[03:09] <garryF> No error message, tjust a hang?
[03:09] <teckfatt> hyperspace: no....i try to use the archlinux, most of the package need to install by own....so i just want to know which software ubuntu used...
[03:09] <realcoolguy> does it give you an error message, or does it just hang?...
[03:09] <m4zt3r> when trying to play a dvd disc, i get the message "The source can't be read. Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data"  I mean it says this on EVERY DVD i try and play on my pc
[03:09] <inmiserysshadow> it just hangs...again, my appologies for the flooding
[03:10] <tuxtheslacker> hey, how would I get my kernel headers?
[03:10] <m4zt3r> it says "Error reading NAV packet" also
[03:10] <realcoolguy> hmmm check the md5 sum on the disc? (could be bad...)
[03:10] <[Yatta] > uname -r
[03:10] <apokryphos> tuxtheslacker: /msg ubotu headers
[03:10] <tuxtheslacker> sudo apt-get install kernel-header-$(uname -r)

[03:10] <m4zt3r> no these are bought DVDs
[03:10] <m4zt3r> all retail
[03:10] <zack> im still having trouble installing the nvidia driver 81.78 has anyone done it for breezy?
[03:10] <tuxtheslacker> !tell headers
[03:10] <garryF> Is there a triangle in any window that you see when it hangs? Click the triangle if so. It might be expecting a userresponse.
[03:10] <ubotu> I know nothing about tell headers
[03:10] <[Yatta] > !tell modules
[03:10] <ubotu> I know nothing about tell modules
[03:11] <rixxon> uhm, what was the command to display system version information? :S
[03:11] <inmiserysshadow> no garry no triangles...I am still running from the friggin cd.....bah
[03:11] <tuxtheslacker> any help would be greatly appriciated.
[03:11] <rixxon> !modules > [Yatta] 
[03:11] <ubotu> I know nothing about modules
[03:11] <tuxtheslacker> ubotu apparently forgot :-)
[03:11] <ubotu> I know nothing about apparently forgot :-)
[03:11] <apokryphos> guys, for ubotu usage see /msg ubotu ubotu
[03:11] <apokryphos> !botabuse
[03:11] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots
[03:13] <reXin> can anybody give me a hand with chain loading ubuntu via ntldr?
[03:13] <garryF> How long have you waited for the hang to pass?
[03:14] <TLE> Socceroos_Woooot: Thanx man, It works, finally internet when I boot. NICE
[03:14] <ubuntunewbie> ...hello?
[03:15] <realcoolguy> hello, yes there are peoples here ubuntu newbie
[03:15] <zack> im still having trouble installing the nvidia driver 81.78 has anyone done it for breezy?
[03:15] <ubuntunewbie> alright, awesome.
[03:15] <realcoolguy> is that a specific nvidia driver?
[03:16] <ubuntunewbie> so, I just got ubuntu a few weeks ago, and it's awesome.  But, I forgot the password for my admin account.   Am I totally screwed?
[03:16] <HartNot> Hey all, does anyone know how I can read a chm file?
[03:16] <realcoolguy> admin account ... is that the root account or the first account you created?
[03:16] <Bassetts> ubuntunewbie: admin account?, did you make one yourself then?
[03:16] <hyperspace> HartNot: install xchm
[03:16] <Flannel> HartNot: xchm would do it.
[03:17] <hyperspace> HartNot:  sudo apt-get install xchm ;)
[03:17] <ubuntunewbie> The first account I made.
[03:17] <KevinIN72> hey i chmod 666 my www folder and now none of my websites are working can anyone help
[03:17] <pppoe_dude> ubuntulog, you are not
[03:17] <pppoe_dude> ooops
[03:17] <pppoe_dude> ubuntunewbie, you're not
[03:17] <reXin> no dice with a some chain booting help? trying to work around EFI here... cause my machine has no BIOS
[03:18] <pppoe_dude> ubuntunewbie, i think there's a shadow file somewhere that you can reset and get your password back/change it
[03:18] <KevinIN72> can anyone help me please im kind of in a hurry
[03:18] <garryF> The answer about how to recover a lost password, would be of interest to me too.
[03:18] <zack> realcoolguy yes it is
[03:18] <realcoolguy> well he might have an easier work around... is there user accounts you have that you know of that you can log in with?
[03:18] <ubuntunewbie> no, there was only that one
[03:18] <pppoe_dude> KevinIN72, did you change anything else?
[03:18] <zack> realcoolguy, its the newest one from the website i thinK
[03:18] <tuxtheslacker> gar! I know there's no chance in hell, but does anoyne in here go to pennstate?
[03:18] <Flannel> garryF: you can't recover it, you boot into recovery mode, and then set it to something else
[03:18] <realcoolguy> zack, which card is it?
[03:18] <ardchoille> doesn't single user mode drop the user into a root prompt?
[03:19] <KevinIN72> pppoe_dude: no i just did a sudo chmod 666 www
[03:19] <Flannel> ardchoille: yes
[03:19] <holycrapitsme> i originally bought Limewire Pro for Redhat, well im running ubuntu now and it does not run due to java being in a different place
[03:19] <holycrapitsme> how do i fix it?
[03:19] <garryF> Flannel Just as good. :)
[03:19] <ubuntunewbie> okay, so how do I boot into recovery mode?
[03:19] <tuxtheslacker> I kinda need to get kvnc working, and it just hangs... then it disconnects.
[03:19] <NickGarvey> KevinIN72: not a very good idea...
[03:19] <zack> realcoolguy, my card is a 6800gs but the driver is the universal linux driver
[03:19] <pppoe_dude> KevinIN72, change it back to 766 i guess?
[03:19] <NickGarvey> ubuntunewbie: grub should have put the option on your grub menu
[03:19] <garryF> It should be a choice on your cd.
[03:19] <KevinIN72> pppoe_dude: oops :( will that fix it
[03:19] <ardchoille> Flannel: so a forgotten password can be changed via single user mode?
[03:19] <garryF> oh
[03:19] <pppoe_dude> KevinIN72, not sure... but worth a try
[03:20] <Flannel> garryF: there are pages and pages on the web about how to reset passwords.  Yeah, at the grub menu, change it to "recovery mode" or whatever, and you'll get nothing but a root prompt, which you can then use to update the password file
[03:20] <Flannel> ardchoille: yep
[03:20] <ubuntunewbie> oh, okay, thanks.
[03:20] <garryF> Nice. Now I know what todo from there, if I ever have that issue. :)
[03:20] <garryF> Thanks Flannel
[03:20] <Unintentional> hey, how do I add a blank line to a string.  i.e. 'echo "Something\n\n"' except, something that works.
[03:20] <KevinIN72> pppoe_dude: it didnt do anything, do you think it changed all the files in the folder??
[03:21] <NewGuy> Hello everyone
[03:21] <zack> how do i close out of x? do its just like a big terminal?
[03:21] <pppoe_dude> KevinIN72, it shouldn't do that unless you used a -R option
[03:21] <zack> ctrl alt backspace brings me to my login
[03:21] <pjfc> DBO: everything is working fine
[03:21] <KevinIN72> pppoe_dude: i didnt
[03:21] <apokryphos> zack: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[03:21] <pppoe_dude> KevinIN72, what kind of error do you get on your webserver?
[03:21] <pppoe_dude> KevinIN72, and you might want to try #aoache
[03:21] <apokryphos> zack: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start to get it running again
[03:21] <ardchoille> zack: CTRL+ALT+F1
[03:21] <pppoe_dude> * #apache
[03:21] <realcoolguy> zack, have you looked at http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Breezy  ? for installing your drivers?
[03:21] <apokryphos> ardchoille: that won't kill X
[03:21] <NewGuy> I'm having Apache2 issues.  I am trying to add a folder but it doesnt show up in the browser.
[03:21] <Kyral> Prolly permissions issues
[03:22] <KevinIN72> pppoe_dude: take a look urself http://kpclan.selfip.com/Events.html
[03:22] <ardchoille> and then sudo init 3
[03:22] <Kyral> Everyone needs read and execute
[03:22] <KevinIN72> pppoe_dude: it changed all my folders to files
[03:22] <NewGuy> the perms are identical to the default folder perms
[03:22] <Flannel> ardchoille: that won't stop it, just switch you out of it.
[03:22] <ardchoille> Flannel: oh, ok. someone told me that drops to runlevel3 (shutsdown X)
[03:22] <pjfc> DBO: the difference was that you properly indicated xserver-xorg in the sudo dpkg command, earlier advice suggested xorg-xserver
[03:22] <NewGuy> how do I make another sites-enabled folder like the 000-default one.  it's like a virtual folder.
[03:23] <Flannel> ardchoille: no, it jsut switches you to a tty
[03:23] <ardchoille> Flannel: ok, I just learned something
[03:23] <pjfc> does anyone know how to get wine to work on dapper amd64?
[03:24] <pjw> Does Posix Standard define the suite of applications? For example: wget, su, kill etc.
[03:24] <Unintentional> trying again.  anyone know how to include a line break in a string?
[03:24] <hollowman8904> how do you get your ntfs partation mounted?
[03:24] <NickGarvey> !ntfs
[03:24] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[03:24] <Flannel> NewGuy: a2ensite
[03:25] <Isaiah> can someone help me with a laptop question
[03:25] <Toma-> pjfc: tried googling 64bit wine?
[03:25] <realcoolguy> Isaiah, only if it's easy ;)
[03:25] <NickGarvey> Toma-: have mercy.. 64 bit wine (cries)
[03:25] <NewGuy> the permissions on my new files in the /var/www/newfolder directory are the same as the others, but it's not enabled in the apache2 sites-enabled folder.  How do I enable them?
[03:26] <pjfc> Toma: Ya, the instructions on http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit don't seem to work.
[03:26] <infinity_> how do i write to external harddrives in ntfs format from ubuntu? it always says read-only
[03:26] <Toma-> pjfc: how so?
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> InfDONT
[03:26] <Flannel> infinity_: you can't write ntfs
[03:26] <Kyral> infinity_: its because its DANGEROUS
[03:26] <Warbo> infinity_: That's because it always is read-only. Sadly
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> infinity_:  Dont do it
[03:26] <Toma-> ubotu: tell infinity_ about captive
[03:26] <realcoolguy> yeah, it's only dangerous if windows is going to access it at some point
[03:27] <infinity_> ok... well how do i setup shares i can see from a windows pc?
[03:27] <Flannel> NewGuy: files in /var/www don't need to be enabled
[03:27] <Toma-> !captive
[03:27] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[03:27] <Warbo> realcoolguy: Why else would you use NTFS?
[03:27] <pjfc> Toma: not sure, I still can't install wine.
[03:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Set up a fat 32 partition
[03:27] <Jack_Sparrow> both systems can read and write it
[03:27] <realcoolguy> see ubotu's answer... but backup your data and use at your own risk
[03:27] <NewGuy> the new folder in /var/www/newfolder seem to, the stuff in the new folder doesnt show up in the browser.
[03:27] <pjfc> Toma: when I get to this part "LDFLAGS="-L/lib32 -L/usr/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib32"  ./configure" I am not sure what to do.  This statement does nothing
[03:28] <NewGuy> No error message though :(
[03:28] <realcoolguy> I would much prefer that you use the nice programs that allow windows to access linux file formats (i've found they worked rather seemlessly)
[03:28] <Warbo> !explore2fs
[03:28] <ubotu> I know nothing about explore2fs
[03:28] <Warbo> hmm. changed
[03:28] <Toma-> pjfc: looks like a pretty shoddy environment bariable...
[03:28] <Toma-> variable even
[03:29] <JohnnyX> disconnected
[03:29] <JohnnyX> can anyone help me?
[03:29] <FunnyLookinHat> Anyone know how I can take a gnome screenshot using the terminal?  I killed the menu that had the icon.
[03:29] <Flannel> NewGuy: it should, unless you've got funky mod rewrite rules, or something else funky going on.  Might try asking in #apache, they might be better suited ot help you
[03:29] <FunnyLookinHat> JohnnyX, ask the qustion and if someone knows the answer they will let you know
[03:29] <JohnnyX> i just did
[03:29] <pjfc> Toma: maybe so, but its on the wine site.  I have little to no coding skill, so much of this is a foreign language to me.
[03:29] <Warbo> FunnyLookinHat: I think ImageMagick would let you
[03:29] <JohnnyX> im having problems with my laptop screen
[03:29] <ardchoille> FunnyLookinHat: type gnome-screenshot
[03:29] <Toma-> pjfc: ok hang tight
[03:29] <JohnnyX> i configured it so that i dont have to enter a password every time i close the lid
[03:29] <FunnyLookinHat> ardchoille, sw33t thanks man
[03:30] <NewGuy> Flannel: Nope, just the defaults.  :(
[03:30] <ardchoille> yw
[03:30] <JohnnyX> now when i close it it doesnt turn back on
[03:30] <realcoolguy> I have the very same problem on my Simply Mepis laptop (which uses the dapper repositories)
[03:30] <NewGuy> Flannel: I put the new files in the root /var/www folder, they work fine.
[03:30] <tach00> hello is ther a command that will automatically fix dependancy errors for ubuntu?
[03:30] <Toma-> pjfc: just copy and paste 'LDFLAGS="-L/lib32 -L/usr/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib32"  ./configure' into a terminal and cross your fingers
[03:31] <Warbo> tach00: "sudo apt-get -f install"
[03:31] <ardchoille> MEPIS is ubuntu-based now?
[03:31] <LKRaider> FunnyLookinHat: gnome-screenshot --delay=5
[03:31] <tach00> thank you
[03:31] <KuLover> Would someone mind checking my fstab to see that it is written correctly? http://pastebin.ca/69513
[03:31] <Bassetts> how do you actually get access to ubuntu source code??
[03:31] <Warbo> tach00: If you have no Internet connection you can replace "install" with "remove" to get rid of broken stuff, rather than trying to fix them
[03:31] <ardchoille> LKRaider: Thank you! I didn't know you could delay that :)
[03:32] <NewGuy> Flannel: Whats the command to make a new folder like the 000-defualt linked directory?
[03:32] <Flannel> Bassetts: you can download it
[03:32] <Bassetts> Flannel where?
[03:32] <Flannel> NewGuy: what?
[03:32] <Flannel> Bassetts: the reposiories have it
[03:32] <Bassetts> Flannel, ok cool
[03:32] <realcoolguy> so anyone know what needs to be changed to allow a laptop to come back on after the lid closes? (i just don't close my lid now =crappy workaround)
[03:32] <KuLover> Welcome captain.
[03:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Yo Ho
[03:32] <Warbo> Bassetts: look for "deb-src" in dources.list
[03:32] <KuLover> lol
[03:32] <NewGuy> A virtual directory type thing, when I do the ls command it shows 000-default -> /etc/www  and so on.
[03:33] <Bassetts> ok Warbo
[03:33] <JohnnyX> can anyone help me
[03:33] <Jack_Sparrow> John we will try
[03:33] <realcoolguy> I have John's problem :D *watches intently for any hints*
[03:33] <tach00> mepis is ubuntu? where do you get it?
[03:33] <Jack_Sparrow> THey went commercial
[03:33] <Flannel> NewGuy: right, default is the default site, it points to /var/www, if you want to make another site, you can either copy default and change things, or start from scratch.
[03:33] <Jack_Sparrow> $
[03:34] <Jack_Sparrow> DId you use Mepis?
[03:34] <Unintentional> does anyone know how to type a line break in linux?
[03:34] <RadiantFire> Unintentional: \n
[03:34] <realcoolguy> JohnnyX is running Ubuntu and has the same prob as me
[03:34] <Warbo> Unintentional: In a console it is uaually "\n"
[03:34] <NewGuy> My default is /var/www/apache2-default/
[03:34] <realcoolguy> close lid, open lid, you have a blank screen no matter what you do
[03:34] <Jack_Sparrow> realcoolguy: what is the problem, I came in late
[03:35] <Unintentional> nah.  \n doesn't work.  like, if I do     echo "\n"     it just displays "\n"
[03:35] <JohnnyX> i configured it so that i dont have to enter a password every time i close the lid
[03:35] <Jack_Sparrow> LAptop wont come out from sleep?
[03:35] <JohnnyX> now when i close it it doesnt turn back on
[03:35] <realcoolguy> yeah, it looks that way
[03:35] <Warbo> Unintentional: You may need to tell it to recognise such things (look in the manual) and the quotes amy be upsetting it
[03:35] <Flannel> NewGuy: not unless you modified your site configuration
[03:36] <Warbo> may be, quotes tell the CLI to use what is literally inside them
[03:36] <NewGuy> Well, they both work, but the ubuntu directions wanted me to use the /var/www/apache2-default folder.
[03:36] <Jack_Sparrow> HAbla ENgles?
[03:36] <Flannel> NewGuy: which directions?
[03:36] <Flannel> !es
[03:36] <Unintentional> Warbo:  echo -e.  all I needed.  thanks.
[03:36] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[03:36] <Warbo> Unintentional: np
[03:37] <JohnnyX> does anyone know what the problem is?
[03:37] <volt^warlock-> I run x2 intel 3.2 xeon processors, And only one is showing up. Anyone know what SMP kernel to install?
[03:37] <Jack_Sparrow> I have reinstalled Ubuntu 10 times this week trying different things, not like I was having to install and activate MS
[03:37] <volt^warlock-> intel p4 xeon processors, 64bits I think.
[03:37] <hyperspace> volt^warlock-: i686
[03:37] <hyperspace> o
[03:37] <hyperspace> h
[03:38] <volt^warlock-> what's the line to install it hyper ?
[03:38] <hyperspace> hmm im not sure maybe you need the 64 bit for 64bit xeon though
[03:38] <volt^warlock-> hmpfh
[03:38] <volt^warlock-> the regular is ?
[03:38] <hyperspace> let me see
[03:38] <volt^warlock-> cheers
[03:38] <Warbo> 386 has no SMP I don;t think
[03:38] <NewGuy> From the Server Guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/httpd.html
[03:38] <volt^warlock-> Warbo, I use ubuntu server 5.10 breezy
[03:39] <Warbo> 686 does, but it is obviously only used when needed
[03:39] <Bassetts> volt^warlock-: get i686-smp
[03:39] <wizardjames> ok, i am redownloading ubuntu, gona burn it. basicly all i gota do is install it, and restart.. and it should boot into..something like gnome right?
[03:39] <volt^warlock-> apt-get install i686-smp
[03:39] <volt^warlock-> ?
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[03:39] <Warbo> volt^warlock-: linux-image-686-smp maybe
[03:39] <Warbo> i686
[03:39] <volt^warlock-> OK, let me try
[03:39] <volt^warlock-> linux-image-i686-smp - correct ?
[03:39] <Warbo> volt^warlock-: Yes (I think)
[03:40] <volt^warlock-> Alright, let me try it out Warbo.
[03:40] <Jack_Sparrow> wizardjames:  YEs it is Gnome desktop
[03:40] <Bassetts> linux-image-686
[03:40] <halete> hello
[03:40] <volt^warlock-> i686 or 686 ?
[03:40] <green-earz>  /quit

[03:40] <hyperspace> is what im running on dual xeon
[03:40] <Bassetts> volt^warlock-: 686
[03:40] <Warbo> hyperspace: not in Breezy :)
[03:40] <volt^warlock-> ok please, could anyone decide exactly what to install to get my second processor to work ?
[03:40] <Flannel> no.  volt^warlock-: linux-image-686-smp
[03:40] <zynergyz> hel
[03:40] <volt^warlock-> OK
[03:40] <Flannel> volt^warlock-: that will be the auto-updating one
[03:40] <wizardjames> ok..well i am at 70% downloading the iso, will try it ..
[03:40] <Flannel> volt^warlock-: they'll work once you install the smp kernels
[03:40] <volt^warlock-> Flannel, I thank you. Let me try it.
[03:40] <hyperspace> Warbo: true dat!
[03:40] <Warbo> hyperspace: Ah, I thought that was an instruction (2.6.15 kernel)
[03:40] <volt^warlock-> Flannel, aye i know.
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> volt^warlock-: mine was automatically identified
[03:41] <zynergyz> helo everybody
[03:41] <volt^warlock-> Mine isnt

[03:41] <zynergyz> hi warbo
[03:41] <Flannel> Jack_Sparrow: you're using Dapper though, right?
[03:41] <hyperspace> why would only one of my xen domains have trouble connecting to the us.ubuntu mirror when i apt-get on it
[03:42] <Flannel> hyperspace: because the us mirror goes down often
[03:42] <hyperspace> and the others on the same hypervisor server dont have any trouble
[03:42] <hyperspace> oh :\

[03:50] <jmodi> no I have not looked at them, where are they exactly? In the program itself?
[03:50] <tonyyarusso> TSCHAK: Not personally, but I've heard 3 people say theirs worked in Dapper that hadn't in Breezy.
[03:51] <TSCHAK> tonyyarusso, well, It shows me the card being inserted into the slot (it calls it pcmcia slot 1), but there is no sdhci stack, so there is nothing to take care of it
[03:51] <tonyyarusso> Ah

[04:08] <sloncho> hi. Daper here. trying to force mplayer to display cyrillic subtitles. On my suse system, it is enough to change the default font file and it works ok. but on Daper, it displays cyrillic, but looks like the encoding is wrong, and it displays substituted characters. any idea for help? the subs are plain ascii files
[04:08] <hyperspace> jmodi: that is just ppp talk
[04:08] <sysdoc> zack, u have the kernel source installed?
[04:08] <dunefan> a question if you please.....can you install Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xbuntu just to see what they look like...without messing up Ubuntu???
[04:08] <zack> sysdoc how do i find out?
[04:08] <KevinIN72> OK that worked thanks

[04:09] <sloncho> dunefan: use the desktop iso's. they are liveCDs, you can boot from them
[04:09] <HedgeMage> JohnnyX: whowhatwhenwherewhyhownow?
[04:09] <nate_02631> JUst install xubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, etc...

[04:11] <CokeNCode> ok, can anyone tell me where i can find automatix ?
[04:11] <Flannel> CokeNCode: nope
[04:11] <zack> sysdoc, i see linux-headers-2.6.12.10 and linux-headers-2.6.12.10-386
[04:11] <CokeNCode> doesn't ubuntu 6.06 come with X-Chat
[04:11] <spikeb> I could, but I refuse.
[04:11] <sysdoc> zack, no source!
[04:11] <sysdoc> install it
[04:11] <CokeNCode> i don't get this ... i type apt-cache search xchat ... and can't find it either
[04:12] <zack> sysdoc how?
[04:12] <KuLover> Would someone mind checking my fstab to see that it is written correctly?
[04:12] <CokeNCode> i can't find half the stuff i should be finding
[04:12] <sloncho> CokeNCode: its in multyverse
[04:12] <Flannel> CokeNCode: nope, xchat-gnome, xchat is in universe in dapper
[04:12] <viper> CokeNCode: they have xchat-gnome
[04:12] <Flannel> CokeNCode: however, searching for xchat shouldve found xchat-gnome
[04:12] <CokeNCode> viper: ok ...
[04:12] <sysdoc> zack, apt-get install linux-source-2.6.12
[04:12] <pjfc> any experts out there who know how to install wine on a 64bit distribution
[04:12] <CokeNCode> Flannel: ok, i thought that was some kinda mistake
[04:12] <CokeNCode> Flannel: now ... what about Automatix
[04:12] <CokeNCode> i know you guys don't recommend it
[04:12] <CokeNCode> but .. .wher eis it  ?
[04:12] <Flannel> no idea.
[04:13] <v-mack> go to the forums, there is a walkthrough there CokeNCode
[04:13] <dunefan> type Automatix into google and it will take you there
[04:13] <jazzi> QQIMIRCIM
 GAIMOPENQaMSNIM
[04:13] <Flannel> CokeNCode: easyubuntu information can be found in #easyubuntu though
[04:13] <VoX> ugh my eyes
[04:13] <LKRaider> :?!
[04:13] <CokeNCode> v-mack: yeh, that isn't working, that's why i came here. the url they're offering no longer works
[04:13] <viper> NICE jazzi
[04:14] <hyperspace> lol
[04:14] <sloncho> CokeNCode: Automatix is in multyverse
[04:14] <v-mack> really
[04:14] <Flannel> sloncho: no it's not.
[04:14] <vinboy> i'm trying to capture video of my screen... do u guys have anything better than xvidcap?
[04:14] <CokeNCode> sloncho: ? multyverse ? what on earth is that ?
[04:14] <v-mack> CokeNCode, its multiverse
[04:15] <v-mack> its a repository
[04:15] <jazzi> to Viper:Thanks
[04:15] <CokeNCode> !tell CokeNCode about multiverse
[04:15] <JohnnyX> can someone who's had exerperience with laptop issues help me
[04:15] <FunnyLookinHat> JohnnyX, what's your issue?
[04:15] <Flannel> It's not in multiverse.  It'd have to be stable and not break systems for that to happen.  but Im going to stop now.
[04:15] <zack> sysdoc what do after it finishes downloading and things? just try to run the .run file again?
[04:15] <JohnnyX> everytime i close the lid it wont come back on
[04:15] <sloncho> OK, you got me :). Add this in your sources.list:
[04:15] <sloncho> deb http://www.getautomatix.com/apt dapper main
[04:15] <dunefan> for automatix assistance:  http://dunefan.weblogs.us/archives/44
[04:15] <FunnyLookinHat> JohnnyX, go to System - Administration - Power Management
[04:15] <v-mack> Flannel, you seem to have some serious Automatix angst
[04:15] <sloncho> then apt-get update
[04:15] <JohnnyX> i configured it so it wouldnt ask me for a password when i closed it yesterday and it was working fine but now all the sudden it wont turn back on
[04:15] <sloncho> apt-get install automatix
[04:16] <sloncho> with sudo of course
[04:16] <CokeNCode> yeh .. ok, thanks
[04:16] <FunnyLookinHat> JohnnyX, oh weird...  make sure it isn't going into hibernate and it's only turning off monitor
[04:16] <JohnnyX> there is no power management in adminstration FunnyLookinHat
[04:16] <FunnyLookinHat> JohnnyX, sorry I meant preferences
[04:16] <Hagbard_Ub> Anyone need any help?
[04:16] <v-mack> johnnyX, did you like, unplug it and rip out the battery?
[04:16] <v-mack> i mean, can you not use it at all?
[04:16] <sloncho> hi. Daper here. trying to force mplayer to display cyrillic subtitles. On my suse system, it is enough to change the default font file and it works ok. but on Daper, it displays cyrillic, but looks like the encoding is wrong, and it displays substituted characters. any idea for help? the subs are plain ascii files
[04:16] <JohnnyX> its not in there either FunnyLookinHat
[04:16] <KuLover> Would someone mind checking my fstab to see that it is written correctly?
[04:16] <JohnnyX> no v-mack
[04:16] <ynmm> Hi guys, I just installed ubuntu server, and when trying atp-get, it fail to lock file, and when trying to su myself, pw for the account that I made when installing doesn't work, and I don't remember making any root account, so now I want to know how to su myself, and if I can't this crap is going out and I'm back with debian.
[04:17] <CarlFK> I have 3 video cards: 1 agp and 2 pci. just installed ubuntu - it is only using one of the pci cards (which only has 4mb video ram, and is only runing at 800x600) - how do I tell it to use the AGP?
[04:17] <JohnnyX> im on it right now
[04:17] <Flannel> !telll ynmm about root
[04:17] <ubotu> I know nothing about telll ynmm about root
[04:17] <JohnnyX> the only problem is when i close it it doesnt come back on and i have to shut it off
[04:17] <viper> ynmm: try 'sudo su'
[04:17] <sloncho> ynmm: not su. use sudo and your password
[04:17] <Flannel> ynmm: there is no root account
[04:17] <Flannel> !tell ynmm about root
[04:17] <sloncho> ynmm: sudo apt-get ....
[04:17] <Flannel> viper: don't suggest that please.
[04:17] <FunnyLookinHat> JohnnyX, are you on Kubuntu or Ubuntu?
[04:17] <Solon12> when i click system / quit, only the "lock screen" button has an icon. is there some way to fix it so all the buttons have icons?
[04:17] <JohnnyX> ubuntu 5.10
[04:17] <sloncho> !tell sunny about root
[04:17] <viper> Flannel: well, he _is_ root... why not sudo su, then change his passwd...
[04:17] <sysdoc> zack, 1 sec dewd
[04:18] <Flannel> viper: he isn't root.
[04:18] <zack> sysdoc alright
[04:18] <FunnyLookinHat> JohnnyX, ok.  I would STRONGLY suggest upgrading to Dapper.  It solved a lot of issues with laptop power management.
[04:18] <CarlFK> viper - same reason you don't tell us your password
[04:18] <JohnnyX> its in the process of downloading now
[04:18] <dunefan> dapper is fantastic on a laptop
[04:18] <JohnnyX> but for now id like to know how to fix this problem
[04:18] <sloncho> viper: just to teach himself to good habits?
[04:18] <viper> Flannel: by 'is' i mean that he is admin, sry
[04:18] <JohnnyX> doesnt 5.10 run dapper?
[04:18] <FunnyLookinHat> JohnnyX, ahh ok, good call.  Yea sorry I can't really help you if you arne't on dapper b/c I dont ahve that running on any boxes anymore
[04:18] <Flannel> viper: right, but that doesn't mean he should use su.
[04:18] <viper> sloncho: it's temporary...
[04:18] <Flannel> JohnnyX: 5.10 is breezy, 6.06 is dapper
[04:19] <viper> Flannel: just to change his root passwd
[04:19] <sloncho> viper: it's tempting
[04:19] <sloncho> always
[04:19] <viper> Flannel: then 'exit' ... and sudo if you like it better =P
[04:19] <Flannel> viper: Right, there's no reason to HAVE a root password.  Read the root page if you want a lot of good arguments and reasons why.
[04:19] <JohnnyX> its 40% done
[04:19] <viper> Flannel: yea? try 'sudo cd'
[04:19] <JohnnyX> is there anyway i can upgrade right now without losing all my files?
[04:19] <sysdoc> zack, from the /usr/src dir type: ln -s linux-source-2.6.12 linux
[04:19] <Flannel> viper: It's perfectly fine if YOU want to use root, but don't suggest it to other people, who may not know the problems associated with it.
[04:19] <Flippy209> chmod 755 is full access correct?
[04:20] <JohnnyX> or does anyone else know how i can fix the screen?
[04:20] <sysdoc> Zambezi, then run the install again
[04:20] <sysdoc> oops sorry Zambezi
[04:20] <sysdoc> Zack, then run the install
[04:21] <viper> Flannel: one situation that came up... at one point i had mounted my windows partition-- then you can't pull something like 'sudo cd winxp' ... you have to su
[04:21] <NickGarvey> do do do
[04:21] <CarlFK> Flippy209: well, 700 is full for you - 777 is full for everyone
[04:21] <ynmm> Flannel, thanks for that link, but it does not solve my problem. It doesn't say anything about getting back my root. If I can't, this ubuntu thing is really crap, and it will go so fast out that it won't remember being in.
[04:21] <Flannel> ynmm: there is NO root account in ubuntu
[04:21] <NickGarvey> ynmm: wait, you lost access to your root account?
[04:21] <JohnnyX> is anyone running breezy?
[04:21] <viper> ynmm: i told you already how to do it
[04:22] <JohnnyX> on a laptop
[04:22] <CarlFK> ynmm: what is your username and password? ;)
[04:22] <viper> ynmm: 'sudo su' , 'passwd', then 'exit' back
[04:22] <Flippy209> CarlFK: I'm trying to update my xchat, I have a .rpm, I converted it but no matter what type of alien, sudo, -i, dpkg command I use, I'm unable to run it
[04:22] <hcarty> JohnnyX: I was until a month or so ago, when I updated to dapper
[04:22] <Flippy209> and when I go to root I'm unable to find my user account in /home/user/
[04:22] <ynmm> Ok, thanks, now I can tell my friends I finally tried ubuntu and that I KNOW FOR A FACT IT'S THE MOST CRAPPY DISP EVER.
[04:23] <JohnnyX> do you know how i would fix my lid so it will come back on when i close it hcarty ?
[04:23] <spikeb> ynmm: awesome. now go troll elsewhere.
[04:23] <SurfnKid> Flippy209: user might be the account nam
[04:23] <Flippy209> Yeah, I left that out on purpose :P
[04:23] <JohnnyX> i changed the setting so that it wouldnt ask me for a password when i closed it now it doesnt come back when i do
[04:23] <Eleaf> huh
[04:23] <hcarty> JohnnyX: I'm not sure I understand... what happens currently when you close the lid?
[04:23] <Eleaf> spikeb, lols
[04:23] <hcarty> Ah
[04:23] <JohnnyX> when i open it up it doesnt come back on
[04:24] <zack> sysdoc, " ln -s linux-source-2.6.12 linux"
[04:24] <SurfnKid> Flippy209: are you messing with me mister...! :P heh
[04:24] <Eleaf> ynmm, yummy
[04:24] <ynmm> If someone do not like changes made to how linux operates, they are trolling, just ask spacey the idiot
[04:24] <HLM> ynmm...............the weakest link is between the chair and the keyboard
[04:24] <siriusnova> woot

[04:24] <CarlFK> ynmm: you are getting.. hostle.  please keep it professional
[04:24] <Flippy209> not the cd command :P
[04:24] <viper> hawkwind: i've installed several distros since then
[04:24] <JohnnyX> would you happen to know how to fix that hcarty ?
[04:24] <Hawkwind> viper: You switched permanently ?
[04:24] <Eleaf> siriusnova, oh cool!
[04:24] <SurfnKid> siriusnova: hehe, hows it running ?
[04:24] <siriusnova> Surfnkid - its so neat :D
[04:24] <hcarty> I'm not sure - is the system suspending on you?

[04:25] <siriusnova> i cant stop playing with the cube
[04:25] <siriusnova> and dragging windows around

[04:25] <erik__>  I have something called "gam_server" running, which is sucking up a lot of CPU resources and it's not killable, because when I kill it a new process of it starts instantly. what is it?
[04:25] <viper> hawkwind: actually i was thinking of temporary ubuntu... but it's pretty good, mandriva was good too, simple
[04:25] <zack> sysdoc, i type " ln -s linux-source-2.6.12 linux" ?
[04:25] <Flippy209> hold up a sec let me try from my account instead of root

[04:25] <SurfnKid> siriusnova: what kind of system configuration you got

[04:29] <sloncho> CokeNCode: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190025
[04:29] <viper> ynmm: rather, a question that general linux knowledge can solve
[04:29] <JohnnyX> now im having troubles with my browser
[04:29] <rigonatti> !fireGl
[04:29] <ubotu> I know nothing about firegl
[04:29] <JohnnyX> it doesnt show <embeded>
[04:29] <rigonatti> !fireGl x11
[04:29] <CarlFK> rigonatti: thanks - I needed that too
[04:29] <ubotu> I know nothing about firegl x11
[04:29] <sysdoc> JohnnyX, Bang it into the kernel and your laptop will hibernate in 20 secs and resume in about the same time
[04:29] <sloncho> !root
[04:29] <ubotu> sudo is is a command that will let users run commands as root. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[04:30] <JohnnyX> it wont load synak
[04:30] <farous> rigonatti: you can /msg ubotu rather than ask in public
[04:30] <JohnnyX> sysdoc*
[04:30] <farous> !ati
[04:30] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:30] <ddrj> has anyone installed ubuntu from hard drive here? if so, did you extract the vmlinuz and initrd.gz files? if you did that, please let me know :)
[04:30] <sysdoc> zack, hmmmm
[04:30] <farous> rigonatti: ^ ^
[04:30] <yoink_23> !troll
[04:30] <ubotu> I know nothing about troll
[04:30] <JohnnyX> my browser wont load any pages?
[04:30] <CokeNCode> dude, type 'sudo passwd root'
[04:30] <rigonatti> CarlFK: I dont know why ..but before the 3ddesk works fine ...then i reinstall my ATI driver ....but give me this error on ATI Panel
[04:30] <CokeNCode> to set the root password
[04:30] <Eleaf> yea, %ubotu is kinda..
[04:30] <Eleaf> ;)
[04:30] <Gumb1> Hi.  I have a very little bit of  experience with both Debian  and ubuntu.  I can install either one just fine.  I plan on making my laptop dual boot tomorrow morning.  I'm debating whether to go with ubuntu or debian.  The single most important thing to me is having good hardware support for laptops: I want powerstepping, hibernate, etc. and good battery life.  What's the trade off with debian & ubuntu???
[04:30] <zack> sysdoc im still getting the same error in the setup when i type "sudo sh filename.run" . the error is "no precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you like the installet to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel from the NVIDIA ftp site?"
[04:30] <viper> so, hawkwind: did you drop mandriva? or you just work on it, but play w/ ubuntu?
[04:31] <Flannel> ddrj: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation can give you a bunch of information
[04:31] <sysdoc> JohnnyX, copy and paste into the browser
[04:31] <ynmm> Flannel, if that is true, I'm sorry for my hasty conclusion, really, so, if you are indeed right, you may tell me how to set a root password, and use it as if it has root priv, because that web page you game me said it cannot be done.
[04:31] <spikeb> Gumb1: basically in your case the tradeoff would be the default kernel for each
[04:31] <JohnnyX> i did
[04:31] <Eleaf> Gumb1, I would maybe go with ubuntu, it might detect your stuff better, although they both are alright.
[04:31] <ddrj> Flannel: hi i remember talking to you yesterday :) wanted to say thanks for the info you gave me yesterday
[04:31] <TSCHAK> is there a 2.6.17 kernel package for dapper???
[04:31] <SurfnKid> siriusnova: well congrats again! I hope i can get mine going again
[04:31] <Candamir> hi, im running the 6.06 desktop version and i can access the internet with a ethernet cable but how can i select wireless access points
[04:31] <Eleaf> the kernel for dapper is at 2.6.15..
[04:31] <Gumb1> spikeb:  Looks like ubuntu has more regular release schedule (6 months) so its kernel would be more up-to-date...  so maybe that's the way to go?
[04:31] <Eleaf> They should move forward.. ;)
[04:31] <siriusnova> SurfnKid - follow the tutorial its easy
[04:31] <crimsun> TSCHAK: no, not yet [if ever] 
[04:31] <SurfnKid> siriusnova: the transparency probvably rules n 3d cube
[04:32] <spikeb> Gumb1: for a laptop, i think so
[04:32] <sloncho> ymnn: sudo passwd root
[04:32] <farous> TSCHAK: the kernel is frozen after the release
[04:32] <sysdoc> zack, when you see that just tell it no and move to the next step then it'l find the source and should create it's own driver compilation
[04:32] <Eleaf> farous, 4eva?
[04:32] <sloncho> on the question, first enter you r pass
[04:32] <Flannel> ynmm: read that page again.  it is included, I just checked.
[04:32] <Eleaf> just kidding ;)
[04:32] <farous> :)
[04:32] <SurfnKid> siriusnova: yeah, i just have so much trouble with the wifi on dapper so there's no point on having xgl unless i can go wifi. so itll take me sometime
[04:32] <nivek> I got an erreor when I'm trying to compil..  checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables ... What I can do ?
[04:32] <SurfnKid> :P
[04:32] <TSCHAK> farous, :-( ... apparently the driver for my SD card reader is in 2.6.17 :-(
[04:32] <CokeNCode> sloncho: what's with the source you gave me to add to my sources list file ?
[04:32] <CokeNCode> it's busted !
[04:32] <viper> ynmm: you don't slander an OS for such small things..
[04:32] <sysdoc> zack, you are doing this from console with no X running right?
[04:32] <siriusnova> surfnkid - what rules is running a Quicktme trailer and having it wrap around edges so you can move the 3d cube and see it on two windows, also when you alt tab the video keep playing in the tab switcher screenshot area, its really slick
[04:32] <zack> sysdoc yes
[04:33] <sysdoc> ok
[04:33] <hyperspace> jmodi: got mine to work
[04:33] <CarlFK> SurfnKid: I got WPA working with dapper - it was easy once I got the right package(s) installed - too bad I don't know exacly which one did it
[04:33] <Candamir> how can i select wireless access points and connect to them
[04:33] <realcoolguy> Candamir ... if you don't mind running KDE applications, apt-get install kwificonfig ...
[04:33] <farous> TSCHAK: next release hopefully, or if you know how you can compile the kernel your self
[04:33] <hyperspace> jmodi: pptpconfig seems to use a different options file after i upgraded to dapper on notebook
[04:33] <jmodi> hyperspace: i sent u a /msg
[04:33] <TSCHAK> farous, i do.
[04:33] <Candamir> realcoolguy thanks
[04:33] <farous> hmm is freenode experiencing a huge lag or is it just me
[04:33] <hyperspace> jmodi: hmm didnt get it
[04:33] <sysdoc> zack, If it asks to look for the driver on nvidia ftp just let it. It'll fail and than look for the source and do one for ya.
[04:33] <zack> sysdoc ok i hit ok to the installer will need to compile a new kernel interface. thenit says gcc-version-check failed
[04:34] <viper> out of curiosity, why in ubuntu are things mounted under /media and not /mnt
[04:34] <farous> TSCHAK: :)
[04:34] <sysdoc> ah ha!!!!
[04:34] <viper> because the /mnt directory does exist....
[04:34] <CarlFK> viper: I think /media is a debian thing ;)
[04:34] <hyperspace> jmodi: try to send /msg again
[04:34] <sysdoc> zack,  now ya fetting to the problem
[04:34] <sysdoc> do this
[04:34] <nivek> I got an erreor when I'm trying to compil..  checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables ... What I can do ?
[04:34] <SurfnKid> siriusnova: yeah i just have to follow the instructions, Ive got a good system just a matter of sitting there and messin with it
[04:35] <vanberge> does ubuntu use 'thumbs.db' files at all?
[04:35] <sloncho> CokeNCode: then use the one from the page i send u
[04:35] <SurfnKid> CarlFK: are u running bcm43xx driver?
[04:35] <vanberge> i migrated alot of data from windows, and want to delete all of those dumb files.
[04:35] <realcoolguy> I thought thumbs.db was a windows xp thing?
[04:35] <Flannel> vanberge: yeah, delete them.
[04:35] <Hawkwind> viper: I've got Kubuntu on a spare box, going to be moving to it permanently very soon
[04:35] <vanberge> Flannel: thx
[04:35] <CarlFK> SurfnKid: I dont think so
[04:35] <sysdoc> zack, apt-get -y install gcc-3.4.5
[04:35] <viper> Hawkwind: ah, a KDE lover =P
[04:35] <jrib> nivek: install the build-essential package
[04:35] <jmodi> hyperspace: sent u a test /msg
[04:35] <Hawkwind> viper: Wrong
[04:35] <nivek> jrib, I think it's already installed...
[04:35] <rigonatti> Does anyone here use ATI drivers ? or FireGL X11 ?
[04:36] <Hawkwind> viper: I hate KDE and Gnome both.  I use E17 exclusively
[04:36] <hyperspace> jmodi: still not getting them
[04:36] <sysdoc> zack, then: CC=gcc-3.4
[04:36] <sysdoc> export CC
[04:36] <crimsun> Hawkwind: hate's pretty strong, eh?
[04:36] <viper> hawkwind: wait..isn't kubuntu  just ubuntu w/ kde..?
[04:36] <Hobbsee> viper: -gnome, yes
[04:36] <sysdoc> zack,  then try the install again
[04:36] <jrib> nivek: build-essential should pull in binutils, can you verify both of those are installed?
[04:36] <nicholaspaul> If I want to share the connection from Ubuntu, do I need to install Firestarter? Anything else I need?
[04:36] <Hawkwind> viper: Yes.  But I prefer to see KDE for 5 minutes over Gnome :P
[04:36] <v-mack> hawkwind, is just a desktop environment
[04:36] <Hawkwind> crimsun: True.  I strongly dislike
[04:36] <realcoolguy> so what would your ubuntu be called if you installed everything... kde apps, and gnome apps...?
[04:37] <Hawkwind> v-mack: I don't like or care to use KDE or Gnome.  I do have that choice, thankfully
[04:37] <sysdoc> realcoolguy, very cool?
[04:37] <jrib> realcoolguy: *buntu?
[04:37] <nivek> jrib, wait me.. I will re-install these packages ;-)
[04:37] <SurfnKid> CarlFK: ah ok, what kind of wifi card do you have
[04:37] <nicholaspaul> hy hybrid
[04:37] <hybrid> howdy
[04:37] <v-mack> hawkwind, totally, i use fluxbox
[04:37] <hyperspace> jmodi: what was the first part of your error
[04:37] <sysdoc> kbu
[04:37] <sysdoc> lol
[04:37] <viper> v-mack: yea, i'll get into fluxbox soon
[04:37] <nicholaspaul> hybrid: having some connection sharing issues.. you ever done that?
[04:38] <viper> i have this desire to configure everything i lay my hands on
[04:38] <cookiecaper> I want Ubuntu not to check my filesystems on startup ... how do I do that?
[04:38] <hybrid> nicholaspaul: with what?
[04:38] <Candamir> in the install process, in step 5, if I previously only had windows and now want both Windows and Ubuntu, what must I select? I have three options: 1) Resize partition #1 and use free space, 2) Erase entire disk [that won't be it]  and 3) Manually edit partition table
[04:38] <viper> then it reaches a 'conquered' state... i can safely say i've 'conquered' windows....
[04:38] <v-mack> i just liked how it looked and then learned to hack around with it
[04:38] <nicholaspaul> hybrid: from Ubuntu to OS9, but its the Ubuntu side I dont know about. I just need firestarter?
[04:38] <viper> i'm 'conquering' gnome  in my spare time =P
[04:38] <v-mack> there is a few things i never really could do without a command line, but these things happen
[04:38] <KanRiNiN> Will lspci show me my model controller, because it shows it as intel but I thought it was conexant
[04:38] <hybrid> nicholaspaul: yeah firestarter should do
[04:39] <jmodi_> hyperspace: I got mine working
[04:39] <hybrid> nicholaspaul: all it is is a GUI to iptables
[04:39] <jmodi_> hyperspace: had to edit a file
[04:39] <nicholaspaul> hybrid: Oooohhh .. that was my next questioN :)
[04:39] <realcoolguy> cookiecaper rm -rf /  (i'm joking DON"T do it)  cookie, are you shutting down cleaning? or does it say force checked or something?
[04:39] <carlf1> SurfnKid: 0000:02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2915ABG MiniPCI Adapter (rev 05)
[04:39] <zack> sysdoc it couldn't find package gcc-3.4.5
[04:39] <nicholaspaul> hybrid: and a crossover cable, right?
[04:39] <hybrid> nicholaspaul: should do
[04:39] <nivek> jrib, .. its working.. sorry
[04:39] <nicholaspaul> sweet hybrid .. I guess i'm set!
[04:39] <pgavin> cookiecaper: you need to set the last field in /etc/fstab to 0 for the filesystems you don't want checked
[04:39] <CarlFK> SurfnKid: and an aix111 (or something like that)
[04:40] <cookiecaper> realcoolguy, not check forced, just on startup when it does whatever it does, fsck I presume.
[04:40] <hybrid> nicholaspaul: tell me how it comes
[04:40] <farous> ok seems that gnome config files is broken. running from fluxbox is much better
[04:40] <cookiecaper> pgavin, ok, thanks. : )
[04:40] <nicholaspaul> hybrid: sure thing.
[04:40] <viper> candamir: option #1 looks best -- resize partition and use available space
[04:40] <realcoolguy> gedit /etc/fstab ... I guess you'll have to edit it cookiecaper
[04:40] <KanRiNiN> !modems
[04:40] <ubotu> I know nothing about modems
[04:40] <rixxon> is seahorse supposed to spend like 20 minutes frozen, generating a key?
[04:40] <KanRiNiN> stupid bot
[04:41] <Candamir> viper: thanks, and afterwards, what do I have to do to be able to select which OS to boot? Is it just modifying the GRUB config file?
[04:41] <farous> KanRiNiN: try help.ubuntu.com
[04:41] <beerfan_> Can someone help me troubleshoot my audio? I plugged a USB headset in and it worked but since then SOME audio doesn't work with the integrated sound card
[04:41] <cookiecaper> realcoolguy, ok, done. : ) Can someone tell me why I'm not able to do any GL stuff with ati or fglrx?
[04:41] <viper> Candamir: ubuntu should automatically setup grub for you
[04:41] <nicholaspaul> !ketchup
[04:41] <Candamir> viper: yes, but also to dual-boot?
[04:41] <ubotu> I know nothing about ketchup
[04:41] <cookiecaper> fglrxinfo says Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual!
[04:41] <v-mack> candamir, yep, to dual boot
[04:41] <viper> Candamir: nod, it should auto-detect your windows [xp] 
[04:41] <cookiecaper> and similar messages across the board
[04:42] <farous> cookiecaper: open your xorg.conf file and comment the path to the rgb dir
[04:42] <viper> candamir: with something like gentoo, on the other hand, yes, you would have to manually edit your /boot/grub/grub.conf file...
[04:42] <Dial_tone> has anyone moved vmware virtual machine from XP to Linux? my XP guest ethernet needs reconfiguration
[04:42] <JohnnyX> how do i shut down with a hotkey so when my screen wont come back on i dont f anything up?
[04:42] <Candamir> ok
[04:42] <farous> cookiecaper: the new xorg has changed their file structure and i presume you are using an xorg.conf file from breezy
[04:42] <Candamir> i'll try
[04:43] <viper> hawkwind: btw, your e17 enlightenment desktop doesnt look too bad
[04:43] <beerfan_> JohnnyX, ctrl alt backspace shuts down x
[04:43] <rigonatti> Does anyone here uses #ddesk?
[04:43] <cookiecaper> farous, I'm not, I install Dapper fresh (coming from Debian etch) and I just got the ATi card today. However, I see that OpenGLOverlay was set to off, which is probably bad, so I'm gonna try again. : )
[04:43] <rigonatti> ops
[04:43] <rigonatti> Does anyone here uses 3ddesk?
[04:43] <cookiecaper> brb : )
[04:43] <Hawkwind> viper: Which one you looking at ?
[04:43] <SurfnKid> CarlFK: i think i will install everything again and give it a shot see how it run
[04:43] <cookiecaper> !anyone
[04:43] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[04:43] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: i used to
[04:44] <Hawkwind> viper: I haven't taken a recent screenshot in quite some time
[04:44] <rigonatti> SurfnKid
[04:44] <zack> sysdoc it couldn't find package gcc-3.4.5
[04:44] <crimsun> because it's gcc-3.4
[04:44] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: but has irq/freeze issues every half second or so
[04:44] <viper> hawkwind: oh, i'm just looking at random e17 pics from google images
[04:44] <rigonatti> SurfnKid: I isntalled trough apt-get 3ddesk anc create the links...but i dont know why is nothing happens
[04:45] <beerfan_> Can someone help me troubleshoot my audio? I plugged a USB headset in and it worked but since then SOME audio doesn't work with the integrated sound card. Rythmbox plays audio but aplay returns errors
[04:45] <Hawkwind> viper: I had no idea they were on google images.  What exactly did you search for ?
[04:45] <rigonatti> SurfnKid: I mean..in my last install worked.  And now the ATI Panel show "FireGL X'' Extensions" not found
[04:45] <rigonatti> SurfnKid: Do you have any ideas ?
[04:45] <KanRiNiN> will conexant drivers work with an intel ac'97 pctel modem?
[04:45] <viper> hawkwind: you've never googled something, then clicked on the Images tab ...?
[04:45] <realcoolguy> beerfan_ is it just certain audio?  could you explain which works, and which doesn't?
[04:45] <Hawkwind> viper: Sure.  I just don't look for my own screenshots
[04:46] <Hawkwind> Heh
[04:46] <beerfan_> realcoolguy, rythmbox plays but aplay returns errors
[04:46] <Bassetts> can a kind of, one disc for all dvd be made for (X)(K)Ubuntu ??
[04:46] <Hawkwind> viper: That's why I have http://SeerOfSouls.com/gallery
[04:46] <carlf1> I am sure there is a ubuntu page explainging how to setup 2 monitors, but I cant find it. anyone got a tip for me to search for?
[04:46] <sysdoc> zack, gcc-3.4
[04:46] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: are you usin the xorg driver?
[04:47] <beerfan_> realcoolguy, I'm not sure how to troubleshoot and the guides I've read haven't helped
[04:47] <hyperspace> carlf1 what card?
[04:47] <jrib> nivek: cool, glad you got it working
[04:47] <dooglus> carlf1: "dual head" is the term to search for
[04:47] <rigonatti> SurfnKid: Im using the driver from ATI webSite
[04:47] <carlf1> dooglus: thanks
[04:47] <zack> sysdoc ya that worked thanks so much
[04:47] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: dapper or breezy
[04:47] <carlf1> hyperspace: 3 really - 1 agp and 2 pci
[04:47] <dooglus> carlf1: "dual head" -porn, maybe
[04:47] <viper> hawkwind: aha, from houston
[04:48] <realcoolguy> beerfan_ the only audio glitches I've had has involved me using the dirty quick method of killall esd ... outside of that I'm not sure.. you said it was the usb audio?
[04:48] <rigonatti> dapper
[04:48] <Hawkwind> viper: Thankfully not originally :P
[04:48] <pppoe_dude> ok question about network. my network seems to be operating slow (should be 100mbps). i notice the 'network monitor' lights on/off when it should be constantly on
[04:48] <Hawkwind> viper: I've just been stuck here most of my life
[04:48] <rigonatti> then ...in ATI install i chosse the option "install Driver 8.25.18 on X.Org 7.0X"
[04:48] <elknof3> hi everybody, sorry when editing with pico (nano), it says something like  ^O   to save, but i dont know what doe that means..
[04:48] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: im using breezy but i would assume its the same thing
[04:48] <Flannel> elknof3: ctrl-O
[04:48] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: whta does fglrxinfo return?
[04:49] <v-mack> elknof3, use the control key
[04:49] <rigonatti> SurfnKid: I think so
[04:49] <Cntryboy> If I wanted to make a link file from this dir.   /.wine/drive_c/Program Files/PokerStars/PokerStars.exe  to desktop to keep me from going there manually and typing wine pokerstars.exe
[04:49] <elknof3> thanks, Flannel
[04:49] <rigonatti> SurfnKid: let me see
[04:49] <Cntryboy> what would the command be?
[04:49] <beerfan_> realcoolguy, yes, I tried a usb headset my gf bought. it worked after a reboot but since then some audio hasn't worked. login audio doesn't play for example. Maybe alsa things the USB device is still there?
[04:49] <carlf1> how come http://wiki.ubuntu.com redirects me to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[04:49] <siriusnova> hey guys i just took a AIGLX / Compiz screenshot on my Thinkpad T30 :D http://web.umr.edu/~taknnc/Screenshot-1.png
[04:49] <elknof3> v-mack, thanks
[04:49] <siriusnova> its sweet
[04:49] <SurfnKid> siriusnova: wicked!
[04:49] <crimsun> beerfan_: what's the selected default device in System> Preferences> Sound?
[04:50] <carlf1> or... where is the wiki search?
[04:50] <Flannel> carlf1: top right corner
[04:50] <cookiecaper> Yeah that didn't work : (
[04:50] <realcoolguy> beerfan_ I'd check your pref... ok crim beat me... if they're right, try killing esd... and if that doesn't work... set your computer on fire
[04:50] <rigonatti> SurfnKid: show me vendor string , renderer string,  and version string
[04:50] <Flannel> carlf1: but, wiki has become help.ubuntu.com
[04:50] <Mixx`> does anyone know of a better S.M.A.R.T. data reader than smartmontools?
[04:50] <beerfan_> crimsun, there's only one sound device available. Intel 82801CA
[04:50] <farous> cookiecaper: do you happen to have ati card?
[04:50] <Bassetts> can a kind of, one-disc-for-all install dvd be made for (X)(K)Ubuntu ??
[04:50] <cookiecaper> farous, yeah.
[04:51] <crimsun> beerfan_: and if you select it and click Close, is sound audible again?
[04:51] <beerfan_> realcoolguy, kill esd? how?
[04:51] <farous> i can post my xorg.conf for you i have a 9600 card
[04:51] <RobNyc> !ati
[04:51] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:51] <beerfan_> crimsun, yeah, done that many times. rebooted many times
[04:51] <crimsun> beerfan_: ``asoundconf list''
[04:51] <cookiecaper> RobNyc, thanks, but that didn't work.
[04:51] <SurfnKid> siriusnova: what are those rectangles doing there
[04:51] <Cntryboy> what would the command be to link this dir.   /.wine/drive_c/Program Files/PokerStars/PokerStars.exe  to my desktop to keep me from going there manually and typing wine pokerstars.exe
[04:51] <realcoolguy> beerfan_ i know there's a more permanent way to fix the weird audio glitch that i have (no audio for certain things) but I end up doing sudo killall esd and everything seems to work fine
[04:51] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: what are they? ATI or mesa

[04:54] <crimsun> beerfan_: what audio apps don't seem to output audible volume?
[04:54] <SurfnKid> siriusnova: strange. but still thats great, i bet its smooth
[04:54] <Cntryboy> what would the command be to link this dir.   /.wine/drive_c/Program Files/PokerStars/PokerStars.exe  to my desktop to keep me from going there manually and typing wine pokerstars.exe
[04:55] <beerfan_> running "aplay" shows a list of error messages. "ALSA lib confmisc.c(_snd_config_evaluate) function ...returned error: No such device"
[04:55] <beerfan_> crimsun, ^
[04:55] <siriusnova> SurfnKid - it is very smooth
[04:55] <rigonatti> SurfnKid: I will try trough ubuntu how to guide

[04:56] <SurfnKid> siriusnova: hehe you just dont stop playing with it
[04:56] <CarlFK> do I need nvidia-glx or -legacy? VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400]  (rev b2)
[04:56] <pppoe_dude> getting weird errors on command line with pretty much any command: " Transport endpoint is not connected"
[04:56] <beerfan_> crimsun, I think you might have found it
[04:56] <farous> cookiecaper: did you install the driver from the repos or from the ati installer
[04:56] <pppoe_dude> on one shell only
[04:57] <rigonatti> SurfnKid: I need to post a bug.....in Ubuntu install...but i was thinking if isnt better to discute first ...whre can i do that ?
[04:57] <beerfan_> crimsun, I see a string in there that was in the errors
[04:57] <cookiecaper> farous, repos first, they didn't work, so I used the installer.
[04:57] <farous> hmm that is a problem cookiecaper
[04:57] <siriusnova> lol
[04:57] <cookiecaper> : (
[04:57] <farous> cookiecaper: there are lots of instructions if you install using the installer
[04:57] <pppoe_dude> fixed nm

[04:57] <dstyrk_> Is there a better place for beginners?
[04:57] <Flannel> rigonatti: you asking about filing a bug? launchpad.net
[04:58] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: ubuntuforums.org
[04:58] <cookiecaper> ok, how do I remove the installered stuff?
[04:58] <cookiecaper> ^__________^
[04:58] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: to discute it first
[04:58] <Flannel> dstyrk_: beginners to ask questions?  this is the place!
[04:58] <farous> cookiecaper: ok if you have the insgtaller from ati you have to remove the linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) package as it conflicts with the fglrx-kernel package
[04:58] <beerfan_> crimsun, I tried renaming my ~/.asoundrc and will try again
[04:58] <cookiecaper> farous, apt doesn't complain about that
[04:58] <painttt> how do i trinstall grub?
[04:58] <painttt> i did it by using live cd
[04:58] <KevinIN72> When I wget a file were does it go???
[04:58] <painttt> but it doesn't work
[04:59] <realcoolguy> dstyrk_ I would suggest looking up some basic guides to get you started
[04:59] <Madpilot> KevinIN72, into the directory you're in currently, usually
[04:59] <gavagai> KevinIN72, wherever you are
[04:59] <Socceroos_Woooot> !grub
[04:59] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:59] <farous> cookiecaper: it will not complain because you did not install a deb ile and it was not in the deb rules :)
[04:59] <gavagai> KevinIN72, unless you tell it otherwise
[04:59] <cookiecaper> farous, I didn't use the package for distribution method, maybe I should?
[04:59] <farous> cookiecaper: even that they did not include it in the rules
[05:00] <rigonatti> SurfnKid: how do I unistall MEsa Drivers?
[05:00] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: i think mesa are installed by default
[05:00] <wy> Hi, I've installed the new 6.06 LTS. Which dist should I use in my sources.list ?
[05:00] <cookiecaper> :\ ok, I'll remove those packages from Ubuntu.
[05:00] <dstyrk_> Ok then...  I am trying to give Linux a shot for the first time and have an old iMac to put it on.. BUT I can't find a copy of Ubuntu smaller than 700MB to burn to a CD.. I don't have a DVD burner..   Any suggestions?
[05:00] <crimsun> beerfan_: the proper way to set it is: ``asoundconf set-default-card $(asoundconf list|grep -v ^Names|head -1)''
[05:00] <cookiecaper> Is it very hard to remove the ATi crap instead?
[05:00] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: if you're using an ATI card the fglrxinfo should return the fglrx driver
[05:00] <beerfan_> crimsun, I removed my ~/.asoundrc and aplay now prints a different briefer error. device is busy.
[05:00] <beerfan_> crimsun, I'll try it your way :-)
[05:00] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: have you run dpkg-reconfigure?
[05:00] <crimsun> beerfan_: ``lsof /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*''
[05:00] <carlf1> dstyrk_: nomal blank cds are 700
[05:01] <farous> cookiecaper: there are instructions on the forums. sorry i can not remember them
[05:01] <Flannel> dstyrk_: the CD images will fit on CDs,  http://www.ubuntu.com/download

[05:01] <viper> strange...why is there no 'xine' package
[05:01] <JanHammer> hey, anyone here know Ardour well?
[05:01] <wy> Hi, I've installed the new 6.06 LTS. Which dist should I use in my sources.list ?
[05:01] <rigonatti> SurfnKid: I did this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#head-5ead174a0b3294527486cd4d71ded66b40003f25
[05:01] <viper> only weird versions of xine
[05:01] <v-mack> wy, dapper
[05:02] <rigonatti> put still show Mesa driver in fglxrinfo
[05:02] <realcoolguy> dsytry_ also make sure you don't burn the disc as a 'data' disc... (hopefully you're familair with burning iso's) and any cd image, WILL fit on the cd
[05:02] <cookiecaper> farous, that's ok I'll ook them up : )
[05:02] <JanHammer> anyone here know Ardour well?
[05:02] <nickrud> viper, xine-ui is the 'xine' package
[05:02] <JanHammer> >.>
[05:02] <JanHammer> <.<
[05:02] <dstyrk_> thanks
[05:02] <farous> cookiecaper: i was running debian sid here too :) till i had my first major crash. solved it but turned out to be hard to maintain afterward
[05:02] <rigonatti> what is a  dpkg-reconfigure ??
[05:03] <viper> nickrud: which repo is that on
[05:03] <rigonatti> SurfnKid:   what is a  dpkg-reconfigure ??
[05:03] <nickrud> viper, universe
[05:03] <cookiecaper> farous, yeah, Ubuntu is nice but I miss things about Debian ... namely the startup. Splash screen ftl.
[05:03] <realcoolguy> wowies, ardour screen shots look cool..! (too bad I know nothing)
[05:03] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: after installing the driver, you have to reconfigure the xserver which is xorg
[05:03] <v-mack> rigonatti, you use it to reconfigure the options of installed packages
[05:03] <beerfan_> crimsun, I seems that removing my .asoundrc did the trick. It must have added the device there and never removed it
[05:03] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: so it uses the fglrx driver to load up GL and ATI will be running
[05:03] <beerfan_> crimsun, thanks so much
[05:04] <crimsun> beerfan_: np
[05:04] <rigonatti> SurfnKid:  so ..i type  dpkg-reconfigure <what?>
[05:04] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: there is a step there on the how to, to run it
[05:04] <farous> cookiecaper: you can set that on ubuntu. del the slpash option in the boot line /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:04] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:04] <cookiecaper> farous, cool, ok, thanks. : )
[05:04] <JanHammer> hello all Ardour users *knock knock*
[05:04] <farous> :)
[05:04] <made> hello all
[05:05] <realcoolguy> !ardour
[05:05] <ubotu> I know nothing about ardour
[05:05] <crimsun> JanHammer: why don't you try the ardour channel?
[05:05] <v-mack> JanHammer, I know of Ardour, and your nick and that program seem to go hand-in-hand
[05:05] <made> I had a quick question about the recommended download managers for ubuntu.. I use flashget in windows and just wanted to know what is simular to flashget?
[05:05] <JanHammer> v-mack, haha, I'm not the real jan hammer ^_^
[05:05] <farous> cookiecaper: i only miss the message i got as root. just type mail and any import infor you can just read
[05:05] <JanHammer> v-mack, need to know what package JACK is for Ardour, need it apparently
[05:05] <JanHammer> and there's a few jacks
[05:05] <crimsun> jackd.
[05:05] <nickrud> made, I personally use flashgot, with gwget as the downloader.
[05:05] <JanHammer> not sure which I need
[05:05] <JanHammer> thanks
[05:06] <v-mack> JanHammer, if you were, I'd send you my LP of the Miami Vice soundtrack to autograph
[05:06] <cookiecaper> heh, farous i never really set up my MTA ; )
[05:06] <made> nickrud: thx.. how are you tonight?
[05:06] <v-mack> Janhammer, I don't know it very well, sorry
[05:06] <JanHammer> sorry, I'd like to meet him too ^_^
[05:06] <nickrud> made, ok. Hot. Hate Texas
[05:06] <rigonatti> SurfnKid: Ok...ask a lot of question(keyboard, mouse, Video card, etc) now...?
[05:06] <made> nickrud: yeah I hate this state too..
[05:06] <SurfnKid> made: hehe no sh* texas is hot
[05:06] <SurfnKid> nickrud:  hehe hotttt
[05:06] <mikebot> hello, i just got a hauppague card, so i can plug my cable tv into my computer, and iw as wondering if anyone knew of any good programs to watch tv on windows (other than beyond tv, which is giving me problems)
[05:07] <nickrud> made, I was in houston for months, I never realized you lived there
[05:07] <SurfnKid> <--- tekzas home of george bush
[05:07] <Flannel> !offtopic
[05:07] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:07] <SurfnKid> Flannel: sorry
[05:07] <made> nickrud: yeah I live in Rosenberg.. just southwest of houston
[05:07] <SurfnKid> :)
[05:07] <v-mack> mikebot, if you want it for windows, the card no doubt came with some sort of program to watch tv with
[05:07] <cookiecaper> farous, removing the kernel-restriced-modules wants me to remove linux-amd64-generic :\
[05:07] <rigonatti> SurfnKid:  ??? =(
[05:07] <made> nickrud: where are you now/
[05:07] <JohnnyX> does anyone have a laptop?
[05:07] <dstyrk_> Is there an older version of Ubuntu with an ISO under 650MB for PowerPC?  I don't have any 700MB blanks
[05:08] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:08] <rigonatti> SurfnKid: Done. Should I restart ?
[05:08] <mikebot> v-mack: i was hoping for something better than just the basics
[05:08] <nickrud> made, I'm in off-topic as well ;)
[05:08] <Pelo> anyone know a little app to display my upload and download speed , in the taskbar maybe ?
[05:08] <SurfnKid> Ctrl ALT BACKSPACE
[05:08] <v-mack> mikebot: mythtv is quite awesome
[05:08] <Flannel> dstyrk_: you could download the server, then it's a simple "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" to go from barebones to full desktop
[05:08] <made> yeah.. just a sec..
[05:08] <SurfnKid> hehe rigonatti just went kaputz
[05:09] <Flannel> dstyrk_: the server iso is like 450mb.  and once you install ubuntu-desktop, there shouldnt be any difference than a normal install
[05:09] <dstyrk_> Thanks
[05:09] <farous> cookiecaper: so it is used by another package. i do no tknow hwo well the drivers are supported for 64 proces
[05:09] <mikebot> v-mack: thanks
[05:09] <JohnnyX> my dell laptop wont turn back on after i close the lid
[05:09] <farous> cookiecaper: the open source drivers have 3-d accel enabled
[05:09] <realcoolguy> JohnnyX ... I wonder if it's a coincidence that mine does the same thing ;)
[05:09] <farous> cookiecaper: given you have a radeon card
[05:10] <JohnnyX> no realcoolguy its a conspiracy
[05:10] <v-mack> mikebot: it can be totally hairy to set it up, and i never got it to work, so good luck =P
[05:10] <rigonatti> SurfnKid: Still show MEsa Driver =(
[05:10] <cookiecaper> farous, I don't know if that works ... I'll try switching from fglrx to ati, though.
[05:10] <rigonatti> how do i remove this ?
[05:10] <JohnnyX> what do you do realcoolguy ?
[05:10] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: did you chose fgrlx instead of ati?
[05:10] <realcoolguy> I don't close the lid :D
[05:10] <rigonatti> ops
[05:10] <SurfnKid> :)
[05:10] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: its a transition
[05:10] <amonkey> has anyone tried installing on a sony sz series laptop? is the hardware supported?
[05:10] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: once it loads fgrlx it it will be on the xorg driver
[05:10] <JohnnyX> yea thats what i do
[05:11] <cookiecaper> alright, let me try this. brb. : )
[05:11] <farous> cookiecaper: you have to remove the fglrx driver for it to work though
[05:11] <JohnnyX> i was wondering how to fix it
[05:11] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: do it again and reload xorg
[05:11] <cookiecaper> farous, I have to uninstall it?
[05:11] <onewaytolive17> can someone please tell me how to install a package off of something i downloaded?
[05:11] <JohnnyX> does anyone know how?
[05:11] <onewaytolive17> its realplayer10.bin
[05:11] <cookiecaper> farous, I can't just change in xorg.conf?
[05:11] <onewaytolive17> how do i run it
[05:11] <bruenig> onewaytolive17, what is the package
[05:11] <bruenig> nevermind
[05:11] <farous> cookiecaper: did not work for me when i did that
[05:11] <cookiecaper> :\ ok
[05:11] <bruenig> onewaytolive17, you can install that same package from the repositories
[05:11] <farous> had to remove the drivers. especially they make some diversions to a couple of libs
[05:12] <Mixx`> is there a method to discover a hotplugged SATA drive?
[05:12] <onewaytolive17> bruenig: every time i do, it says i need to download it off the site; the thing is the site no longer carries the file it needs to install...
[05:12] <^richiefrich> yes
[05:12] <cookiecaper> I think I'll just completely reinstall X. Thanks.
[05:12] <farous> good luck
[05:12] <JohnnyX> are you using a dell realcoolguy ?
[05:12] <^richiefrich> Mixx fdisk -l

[05:13] <amonkey> is there any difficulity with using ubuntu on a core duo? is there a special iso for it?
[05:13] <bruenig> onewaytolive17, go to the directory that it is in and enter ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin into the terminal
[05:13] <SurfnKid> rigonatti:  type this 'cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver'
[05:13] <JohnnyX> it was working fine all day until about an hour or two ago
[05:13] <Mixx`> ^richiefrich didn't add a new /sdx to /dev
[05:13] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: whats it return
[05:14] <rigonatti> Driver fglrx
[05:14] <realcoolguy> JohnnyX I'm not really working on it now... I used the default setting (mine is a little different, since it's Simply Mepis and not Ubuntu, but they share the same repos)
[05:14] <^richiefrich> then u might not have it in the kernl
[05:14] <bruenig> or so says it's website
[05:14] <^richiefrich> Mixx` whats -->  dmesg | tail
[05:14] <rigonatti> SurfnKid: Driver Fglrx

[05:15] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: but fgrlxinfo returns mesa?
[05:15] <maikol> ^richiefrich, not built in, i think intel
[05:16] <rigonatti> SurfnKid: yep :(
[05:16] <sobersabre> hi guys... what printers are best supported under linux ?
[05:16] <SurfnKid> now that is strange
[05:16] <^richiefrich> maikol then u need to look if the card has hardware mixing
[05:16] <rigonatti> SurfnKid: Should I uninstall Mesa Driver from Synaptic ?
[05:16] <SurfnKid> does the ati panel show 8.25 version
[05:16] <bruenig> onewaytolive17, /home/USERNAME/Desktop
[05:16] <JohnnyX> how do i fix my laptop screen so it will come back on after i close the lid?
[05:16] <Mixx`> ^richiefrich : nv_sata: Secondary device added

[05:16] <^richiefrich> maikol thats windows
[05:16] <^richiefrich> maikol what driver ?
[05:16] <onewaytolive17> bruenig,  says no such directory
[05:16] <nJeff> mainly it not playing sound
[05:17] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: nah, you actually dont want that driver, that is the standard generic driver, default driver. you want to use xorg with fglrx and the ati  driver
[05:17] <sobersabre> I want to buy one, and I know hp's are supported well, but are quite expensive, leximark are supported barely, but are freaking cheap... canons are quite well supported...
[05:17] <maikol> ^richiefrich, alsa?
[05:17] <^richiefrich> snd_intel8x0
[05:17] <bruenig> onewaytolive17, did you use cd
[05:17] <realcoolguy> JohnnyX saw off the little tab that the laptop uses to detect the lid is closed ;)  (ok joking)
[05:17] <viper> how can i get the divx 5.0 codec? why isn't there a w32codecs package?
[05:17] <^richiefrich> maikol do a   lsmod
[05:17] <onewaytolive17> bruenig,  yes i did; its working now
[05:17] <^richiefrich> whats that say
[05:17] <maikol> alot
[05:17] <^richiefrich> maikol lsmod | grep intel

[05:21] <realcoolguy> viper 2 easy ways I know of, use easyubuntu, or go into synaptic and settings repositories
[05:22] <JohnnyX> so does anyone know how to fix it?
[05:22] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: link doesnt work try it again
[05:22] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: paste me the results thru PM
[05:22] <viper> realcoolguy: sry, i had already had restricted enabled -- w32codecs doesnt show up
[05:22] <^richiefrich> Mixx` it was added
[05:22] <NickGarvey> viper: use easyubuntu, that should do it
[05:23] <^richiefrich> Mixx` now fdisk -l
[05:23] <Mixx`> ^richiefrich shouldn't it be added to /dev as /sdb?
[05:23] <bruenig> viper, w32codecs isn't in any of the repositories
[05:23] <^richiefrich> Mixx` yes
[05:23] <sobersabre> what is easyubuntu ?
[05:23] <Mixx`> ^richiefrich ok will try again
[05:23] <SurfnKid> viper: w32codecs have to be downloaded from a website
[05:23] <^richiefrich> Mixx` it might not have shown up.. right away
[05:23] <viper> bruenig: what's the ubuntu equiv?
[05:23] <viper> oh....
[05:23] <bruenig> viper, it exists just not in the repos
[05:23] <dr_willis> I tend to get the w32codec packages from the mplayer homepage
[05:24] <bruenig> viper, I used automatix myself but I cant recommend that else I will get shouted down
[05:24] <viper> bruenig: i'll just follow this ... http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/12/04/libdvdcss2-and-w32codecs-for-ubuntu/
[05:24] <JohnnyX> does anyone know how to fix the laptop hibernate problem?
[05:24] <NickGarvey> bruenig: DON'T SAY THAT WORD!
[05:24] <dr_willis> lol
[05:24] <viper> OMG bruenig, not that!!
[05:24] <NickGarvey> automa... aaah
[05:24] <thomas> i have a desktop and i can't even get THAT to hibernate
[05:24] <thomas> lol.

[05:25] <NickGarvey> SurfnKid: spawn of hell!
[05:25] <viper> It That Must Not Be Named

[05:25] <SurfnKid> NickGarvey: dont wanna hear it then hee
[05:25] <NickGarvey> ^richiefrich: auto.. mat.. ahhhhhh
[05:25] <NickGarvey> !automatix
[05:25] <thomas> JohnnyX one thing i do know is this... you have to have a lot more swap than you do memory.
[05:25] <ubotu> automatix is a script that automates installation of some items and has been reported to break your system while doing that, please see http://help.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDocumentation instead.
[05:25] <^richiefrich> NickGarvey it's good for n00bs
[05:25] <Hobbsee> !automatix > SurfnKid
[05:26] <NickGarvey> Hobbsee: oh is that how you do it now? > username
[05:26] <Mixx`> ^richiefrich sorry, I still can't find it
[05:26] <SurfnKid> Hobbsee: ewwwww sounds nasty
[05:26] <^richiefrich> Mixx` hmm
[05:26] <m0nk_> hey gusy
[05:26] <Hobbsee> NickGarvey: both work
[05:26] <rigonatti> SurfnKid: Got it ?
[05:26] <NickGarvey> Hobbsee: just like showing off your unix command skills? ;)
[05:26] <SurfnKid> rigonatti: yes but you cant read my messages, register with nickserv
[05:26] <JohnnyX> whats that mean thomas ?
[05:26] <Keaton> Some program is stopping all my other programs from using sound, but I can't figure out what it is.
[05:26] <sloncho> hi. trying to force mplayer on ubuntu Daper Drake to display cyrillic subs. it displays them, but the characters are missplaced to unreadble text, i.e. the the chars are substituted randomly ... or not. looks like encoding problem. but the same file plays ok on my suse system. what should i try?
[05:26] <Hobbsee> NickGarvey: nah, but it's quicker to write that, than to write !tell foo about bar
[05:27] <rigonatti> i am :(
[05:27] <^richiefrich> Mixx`  well do u have another sata drive ?
[05:27] <NickGarvey> Hobbsee: oo I never thought of that, smart
[05:27] <NickGarvey> Hobbsee: :) thank you
[05:27] <Mixx`> ^richiefrich yes, the one that I'm running Ubuntu on right now
[05:27] <darkyoshi372> How do I close azureus' error messages?
[05:27] <JohnnyX> can someone help me with suspend/hibernate configuration
[05:27] <rigonatti>  /msg NickServ IDENTIFY travelogue
[05:27] <Hobbsee> NickGarvey: there's a whole lot of syntax stuff on the wiki, for how to use the new bot
[05:27] <NickGarvey> Hobbsee: to the wiki!
[05:27] <bruenig> darkyoshi, I can't get those to close either
[05:27] <Mixx`> ^richiefrich i'm trying to pull SMART diags off the one I just hot plugged
[05:27] <onewaytolive17> bruenig,  now its installed... but i get an error every time itry to play a vid online "could not find an appropriate hxplay or realplay in the system path to use as an embedded player"
[05:27] <viper> i'm loving it -- WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
[05:28] <bruenig> darkyoshi372, i just exit azureus and then restart
[05:28] <darkyoshi372> Azureus is my favourite BT client on Windowze, but this is just stupid...
[05:28] <viper> (this is when i quietly tell apt to take a hike...)
[05:28] <Ackeubu_> hey my system monitor shows that 100% of the processor power is used. However when i look at % on apps. I cant find any that runs very high. So how do I know if some app/process needs to be killed?
[05:28] <^richiefrich> Mixx` well maybe u dont have hot swapping in the kernel
[05:28] <bruenig> onewaytolive17, you need a plugin
[05:28] <onewaytolive17> how do i get it
[05:28] <^richiefrich> Mixx` or your card doent support it
[05:28] <Mixx`> ^richiefrich perhaps..  I'm running Dapper Ubuntu x64 on AMD64
[05:28] <darkyoshi372> bruenig: I guess that's an adequete solution. Thanks!
[05:29] <Mixx`> ^richiefrich i am able to hot plug it in windoze
[05:29] <gdb> viper: That's not apt's fault, though. ;-)  That's your fault.  And the message can be ignored regardless.
[05:29] <realcoolguy> onewaytolive17 you did something like this right? http://www.real.com/moreinfo/playerplus_install.html?system=linux&pageid=unagi.8083677&pageregion=install_instructions&src=linux&pcode=rn&opage=linux',%20'install_instructions',%20'570','400','scrollbars=1,resizable=1');
[05:29] <KevinIN72> what is the chmod to give full access??
[05:29] <^richiefrich> Mixx` well thats windows..   u might need to edit the kernl
[05:29] <gdb> viper: It means the packages are either signed and you have no gpg key installed to verify the signature, or the packages are unsigned.
[05:29] <SurfnKid> someone rip my throat out it hurts
[05:29] <Ackeubu_> how do I list what processes are running?
[05:29] <NickGarvey> KevinIN72: chmod 777 file
[05:29] <viper> gdb: and w32codecs doesnt solve it!!!!!!!
[05:29] <NickGarvey> KevinIN72: but thats a very bad idea..
[05:29] <Mixx`> ^richiefrich ok tyvm for your help
[05:29] <viper> i can't play divx 5.0 in xine.... sigh
[05:30] <^richiefrich> Mixx` sorry man
[05:30] <gdb> viper: Doh!  Have you looked into EasyUbuntu?  Or is that what you're using?
[05:30] <^richiefrich> Mixx` try to reboot see if it shows up
[05:30] <viper> no, what's easyubuntu...
[05:30] <realcoolguy> !easyubuntu
[05:30] <ubotu> EasyUbuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of easyubuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[05:30] <NickGarvey> !easyubuntu viper
[05:30] <KevinIN72> NickGarvey: yeah im trying to install easymod for my phpbb2 forum but it cant get write access
[05:30] <ubotu> I know nothing about easyubuntu viper
[05:30] <Mixx`> ^richiefrich will do ;)
[05:30] <NickGarvey> !easyubuntu > viper
[05:30] <^richiefrich> Mixx` if it shows then it's the kerenl
[05:30] <gdb> viper: I can't say that the codecs you need are included, however.  But here's EasyUbuntu's site: http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
[05:31] <JohnnyX> can someone help me with suspend/hibernate configuration?
[05:31] <bruenig> viper, I dont think easyubuntu has w32codecs
[05:31] <viper> i need divx 5.0
[05:31] <gdb> viper: That's the software that I use to install all the multimedia stuff I need.  There is one caveat, you'll need to re-enable dapper-security in your /etc/apt/sources.list file when you're done.  I can show you what to do once you've used it.
[05:31] <viper> i already have w32codecs ;)
[05:31] <sobersabre> JohnnyX what desktop do you use ?
[05:31] <Mixx`> ^richiefrich out of curiosity what would you have to do with the kernel to get it to show up?
[05:31] <JohnnyX> im running ubuntu 5.10
[05:32] <JohnnyX> so whatever comes with that
[05:32] <Locke> i cant get any damn p2p programs to work
[05:32] <bruenig> viper, where do you live, hopefully it's not America because in that case w32codecs can't be installed
[05:32] <Locke> the downloads all get to 'connecting' and never start
[05:32] <viper> what!?!?
[05:32] <Locke> in aMule and frostwire
[05:32] <JohnnyX> has this ever happend to you sobersabre
[05:32] <sobersabre> guys, any feedback on z615 lexmark printer ? I see it has linux drivers...
[05:32] <Locke> bruenig, no, of COURSE not..
[05:32] <viper> bruenig: stop scaring me =P
[05:32] <bruenig> viper, it's illegal
[05:32] <sobersabre> JohnnyX upgrade to 6.06
[05:33] <sobersabre> as soon as possible
[05:33] <JohnnyX> i will
[05:33] <TSCHAK> is there a way i can get the configuration for the current ubuntu kernel?
[05:33] <realcoolguy> JohnnyX is there any reason you don't want to upgrade to 6.06?
[05:33] <viper> bruenig: fine, report me.
[05:33] <JohnnyX> but for now can someone help
[05:33] <TSCHAK> I am trying to build a new kernel from kernel.org
[05:33] <bruenig> viper, you wouldn't want to do that if it were illegal
[05:33] <JohnnyX> im downloading it realcoolguy
[05:33] <JohnnyX> but for now i want to know how to fix this
[05:33] <gdb> viper: Ah, in that case I'm wondering if the support simply isn't included.
[05:33] <realcoolguy> JohnnyX it may solve your problem... try again after update
[05:33] <Socceroos_Woooot> TSCHAK: /boot/config*
[05:33] <Mixx`> ^richiefrich sure enough it showed up after reboot
[05:33] <^richiefrich> Mixx`  well there a problem there.. u use ubuntu's one.. i dont know how to edit that maybe someone else can help.. i  use one from kerenl.org but if u can edit it ill help u..
[05:33] <sobersabre> whenever you're asked to keep or replace configuration files - don't replace them. keep the old configuration
[05:33] <JohnnyX> i dont want to update right now
[05:33] <JohnnyX> i want to learn to fix this
[05:33] <^richiefrich> Mixx` then kerenl
[05:33] <viper> it's funny how linux packages can now be illegal...
[05:33] <realcoolguy> JohnnyX the fix might be the update??
[05:33] <Keaton> God, I hated upgrading to 6.06. It took over 12 hours...
[05:34] <JohnnyX> it was working fine yesterday
[05:34] <wizardjames> how long when installing , should it take for the configuring hardware part take.. (95%) its been like this for 40 mins..
[05:34] <farous> a question for who uses chroot env. Is it better to setup a diff virtual terminal for the chroot or just running it on the same terminal  is ok?
[05:34] <sobersabre> JohnnyX are you using gnome or kde ?
[05:34] <JohnnyX> gnome
[05:34] <bruenig> viper, it seriously is illegal but I don't think many care about that
[05:34] <Mixx`> ^richiefrich i'll read up on it - thanks again
[05:34] <^richiefrich> Mixx` u find out how to get to that kerenl menu
[05:34] <dr_willis> wizardjames,  and your cpu/processor is ?
[05:34] <viper> bruenig: you keep track of these things?
[05:34] <^richiefrich> and ill guide u from therew
[05:34] <wizardjames> 700mhz...
[05:34] <wizardjames> p3
[05:34] <viper> bruenig: i'm curious about your position on bt
[05:34] <wizardjames> lappytop
[05:35] <[FDC] Pvt|Cus> Can someone please suggest a very good beginner Ubuntu guide that I can download online?
[05:35] <bruenig> viper, by bt you mean bittorrent?
[05:35] <Mixx`> ^richiefrich ok
[05:35] <sobersabre> JohnnyX in the KDE there's an applet for Laptops, it worked for me earlier than from gnome
[05:35] <dr_willis> wizardjames,  thats rather low end.. 40min may be a bit too long however..
[05:35] <[FDC] Pvt|Cus> Or Handbook/Bible/Manual, lol
[05:35] <farous> [FDC] Pvt|Cus: help.ubuntu.com
[05:35] <sobersabre> maybe you can install kde desktop and see if it works.
[05:35] <realcoolguy> JohnnyX best advice would be to run the update, see if it fixes your problem, if not, then come back, and hopefully some really gifted with supsend/power management can help you isolate the problem (assuming the update doesn't somehow fix it)
[05:35] <wizardjames> dr_willis i wll restart
[05:35] <dr_willis> wizardjames,  you may want to do some googling for that specific laptop and 'linux and ubuntu' and see if any known issues exist.
[05:35] <JohnnyX> the download will take a while
[05:35] <NickGarvey> [FDC] Pvt|Cus: basic command line: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicCommands
[05:35] <JohnnyX> and i want to know how to fix it
[05:36] <gdb> viper: The issue isn't file sharing.  The United States has some screwy laws regarding copyright protection and use of dvcss is in violation of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act.  However, you'll find that not only is this law largely ignored, it's unenforced against individuals.
[05:36] <JohnnyX> i know it has somemthing to do with changing the acpi settings
[05:36] <wizardjames> dr_willis , i wouldnt be suprized if it was something wrong with it.. its ibm t20
[05:36] <JohnnyX> it wasnt doing this yesterday
[05:36] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> does anyone know of any equalizers?
[05:36] <dr_willis> wizardjames,  may to use the noapci, or noapic, or similer boot time options.
[05:36] <bruenig> viper, I was just joking about you not doing it
[05:36] <carlf1> to restart x? - /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[05:36] <viper> gdb: ah, ok.. i think easybuntu installed 40 packages... =)
[05:37] <gdb> viper: Good!  It's good stuff. :-)
[05:37] <wizardjames> dr_willis thats a kernal part. i had running gentoo on there just fine
[05:37] <Socceroos_Woooot> [FDC] Pvt|Cus: http://help.ubuntu.com - Desktop guide
[05:37] <max_nooby_noob> Hi guys. Do you find Google Earth extremely choppy?
[05:37] <gdb> And importing win32codecs isn't illegal, it's libdvcss that's "illegal" to use in the US.
[05:37] <cwillu> In other news, anybody know what the practical upper limit for distinct number of users running processes (i.e., single process) at a time would be?
[05:37] <dr_willis> wizardjames,  gentoo on that ? egads you got more patience then i would ever have.
[05:37] <[sub_x] > What is 'choppy'?
[05:37] <NickGarvey> gdb: :)
[05:37] <bruenig> gdb, i thought they were both illegal my fault
[05:38] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> does anyone know of any equalizers?
[05:38] <wizardjames> dr_willis lol, yeah, took 3 days to compile x and kde
[05:38] <max_nooby_noob> I find it wierd because, although I don't have the worst vid card in the world (Radeon 9800 256), I don't have the worst either.
[05:38] <NickGarvey> I don't approve of pirating but I don't really think codecs is an issue..
[05:38] <lampshade> Has anyone else noticed that xchat now sucks?  Like the UI is way different and stuff.  What's with that?  Is that part of a plan to drive more people toward their pay versions or what?
[05:38] <max_nooby_noob> the graphics are choppy
[05:38] <NickGarvey> gentoo...
[05:38] <nickrud> [sub_x] , so many dropped frames it's noticeable
[05:38] <[sub_x] > ??
[05:38] <max_nooby_noob> it's like 2 fps
[05:38] <cwillu> lampshade: you can redownload the other xchat via synaptic (I like it better too)
[05:38] <carlf1> lampshade: are you sure it isnt gnome-xchat?
[05:38] <gdb> bruenig: It's very possible that you're correct, however, I don't believe importation of win32codecs is illegal.  I could be mistaken, however.  But yes, libdvcss is in violation of the DMCA.
[05:38] <NickGarvey> [sub_x] : its not smooth runnig, doesn't work well
[05:38] <lampshade> whoa whoa whoa
[05:38] <cwillu> lampshade: dapper changed the default
[05:38] <lampshade> whoa
[05:38] <lampshade> ok
[05:39] <cwillu> whoa?
[05:39] <NickGarvey> haha
[05:39] <lampshade> maybe that is why
[05:39] <carlf1> I use gaim
[05:39] <[sub_x] > what do you mean
[05:39] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> max_nooby_noob: xeven though u dont have a bad video card , u have the worst driver in the world
[05:39] <viper> yes! divx5.0 is in the house =)
[05:39] <viper> thx gdb =)
[05:39] <NickGarvey> carlf1: gaim is what the cool kids use
[05:39] <Candamir> during the install process, why can't I select partition sizes smaller than 52% (25.8 GB)
[05:39] <[sub_x] > How to chat with the very one, please?
[05:39] <lampshade> I actually saw that it was listed as gnome-xchat and just ignored that haha
[05:39] <gdb> viper: Sure thing!  You'll need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file now, however.
[05:39] <max_nooby_noob> ok. I updated the driver but I guess you're saying it's still bad.
[05:39] <bruenig> Candamir, are you manually editing the partition table
[05:39] <NickGarvey> Candamir: you can't?  I installed ubuntu on a 5 gb partition at one point
[05:39] <gdb> viper: Any line you see that says "dapper-security" in it needs to have the # character removed from the front of it.
[05:39] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> Candamir: what?
[05:40] <viper> gdb why?
[05:40] <realcoolguy> ATI drivers... are... ummm iffy from what i've heard../
[05:40] <JohnnyX> if i turn power management off will my screen come back on when i close the lid?
[05:40] <gdb> viper: Er, I misspoke, it's dapper-updates
[05:40] <wizardjames> hm, think i found something.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=200905&highlight=ibm+t20
[05:41] <max_nooby_noob> Well, that used to be the case. They really do a great job now. However, I can't vouch for their performance in Linux
[05:41] <nickrud> [sub_x] , choppy, I though you were talking about video
[05:41] <gdb> viper: EasyUbuntu has a bug where it disables updates when used.  You just need to edit the 2 lines that contain that identifier to re-enable them.
[05:41] <[sub_x] > hi, nickrud
[05:41] <[sub_x] > I'm new here
[05:41] <nickrud> hi [sub_x] 
[05:41] <gdb> viper: To do this, open a Terminal and run "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list".  When you have that on your screen, let me know.
[05:41] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> yeah , the ati windows performance is great , not linux though
[05:41] <loststar4545> witch is better easyubuntu or automatix
[05:41] <Ackeubu_> How do I see what processes are running?
[05:41] <Candamir> no, I'm just in the default (resize partition #1) and the slider won't let me go below this value
[05:41] <viper> gdb i know how to edit it =)
[05:41] <NickGarvey> loststar4545: easyubuntu@
[05:41] <NickGarvey> !!
[05:41] <ubotu> I know nothing about !
[05:42] <dr_willis> do not use automatix
[05:42] <Ackeubu_> How do I see what processes are running from the terminal?
[05:42] <dr_willis> best to learn how to intall the stuff your self. and not even use easyubuntu
[05:42] <gdb> viper: Ah, no worries then!  That's all you need to do.
[05:42] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> Ackeubu_: top
[05:42] <Flannel> Ackeubu_: ps ax
[05:42] <bruenig> don't use automatix because it has bugs, do use easyubuntu althought it has bugs
[05:42] <Flannel> Ackeubu_: ps aux
[05:42] <Ackeubu_> Top dont seem to give me all
[05:42] <Flannel> Ackeubu_: although, you'll probably want to pipe it into less: ps aux | less
[05:42] <gdb> EasyUbuntu has only that one bug that I've been able to determine. :-)  And it's very easy to work around.
[05:43] <viper> gdb: yea, i've just been delaying in my response because i can't seem to find any lines w/ dapper in them...
[05:43] <viper> gdb ( that are commented)
[05:43] <gdb> deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted
[05:43] <Zambezi> I have a charming neighbour. He and his firends screamed, kicked on my(?) door about 04.30 so much that I could fall asleep.
[05:43] <loststar4545> compiling a new kernel  taking forever  how long does it normally take
[05:43] <gdb> That's an example of one of the lines that may be commented out.
[05:43] <realcoolguy> perhaps easyubuntu was ubdated to remove that bug??...
[05:43] <JohnnyX> how do i get my settings back in /etc/acpi so it will ask me for a password instead of turning off when i close the lid?
[05:43] <gdb> realcoolguy: It's very possible. :-)
[05:43] <viper> gdb: nod, only one, already uncommented
[05:43] <gdb> realcoolguy: I was talking with the developers last night abou tit.
[05:44] <[sub_x] > Has somebody used the ubuntu LiveCD? I'd like to have a try so that I can use Linux easy at other coputers.
[05:44] <gdb> viper: Ah, then that bug may have been resolved in the latest update to the utility.
[05:44] <viper> gdb thx again =)
[05:44] <gdb> viper: Sure thing!
[05:44] <viper> gdb: how fast do you type?
[05:44] <dr_willis> [sub_x] ,  the live cd is now also the install cd. :P so most of us have used it.
[05:44] <Ackeubu_> Flannel thanks. it doesnt show me any process that is out of hand. however the system monitor tells me the 2 processors is runnning on 100%.....
[05:44] <[sub_x] > Wow
[05:44] <gdb> It's also the case that the bug only manifests itself if you selected to enable the universe and multiverse respositories.
[05:44] <gdb> viper: I don't know!
[05:44] <viper> gdb: lol
[05:45] <gdb> Anyway, I'm glad it's working for you!
[05:45] <viper> gdb: you're pretty funny
[05:45] <JohnnyX> is anyone experienced with laptop screen issues?
[05:45] <bruenig> [sub_x] , i wouldn't really say I used it, I booted into it and then double clicked install, but the live cd and installed version are essentially the same with the former being much much slower
[05:45] <Candamir> so should I edit the partitions manually?
[05:45] <gdb> Unfortunately, I now have to deal with an Origin 300 cluster that has a failed node in it. ;-)
[05:45] <arigo> how do you change the refresh rate of your monitor/screen res in gnome?
[05:45] <bruenig> Candamir, y es
[05:45] <[sub_x] > dr_willis, what dose this mean'the live cd is now also the install cd'?
[05:45] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> realcoolguy: yeah that was funny
[05:45] <dr_willis> [sub_x] ,  there is no seprate live cd. :P its the install cd.
[05:46] <[sub_x] > no
[05:46] <NickGarvey> JohnnyX: explain more than that
[05:46] <dr_willis> [sub_x] ,  they are the one and the same.. ya boot the live cd.. and start the isntaller.
[05:46] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> realcoolguy: they made a disco video out of it
[05:46] <Madpilot> arigo, System->Preferences->Screen Resolution
[05:46] <JohnnyX> when i close the lid my screen wont come back on
[05:46] <[sub_x] > I see
[05:46] <bruenig> Candamir, if you need help on you partitioning scheme, do ask
[05:46] <dr_willis> [sub_x] ,  unless of course ya  get the alternative isntall cd's
[05:46] <JohnnyX> it started happening earlier today after i change the acpi settings so it wouldnt ask me for a password when i closed the lid
[05:46] <arigo> ok, there is like, something wrong with my install. Eveything people tell me here isn't where it should be ;P Thanks madpilot
[05:46] <JohnnyX> it was working for a while now it doesnt come back on at all
[05:46] <Candamir> bruenig: thanks, but it's still loading from the cd
[05:46] <[sub_x] > How about KNOPPIX?
[05:47] <dr_willis> [sub_x] ,  and how well the ubuntu live cd compares to other livd cd's  its about 'average' id much reccomend knoppix, or slax
[05:47] <bruenig> candamir, make sure you partition a swap
[05:47] <loststar4545> anyone tried any live dvd's
[05:47] <[sub_x] > Thank you
[05:47] <dr_willis> [sub_x] ,  depends on your needs. slax is very easy to customize - is its big feature
[05:47] <Candamir> bruenig: so I have to resize the big windows partition twice?
[05:47] <JohnnyX> and its really irratating to have to turn my computer off everytime i close the lid because it wont come back on
[05:48] <[sub_x] > I'll search for it
[05:48] <bruenig> Candamir, are you trying to dual boot?
[05:48] <Candamir> yes
[05:48] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> does anyone know of any equalizers for linux??
[05:48] <realcoolguy> loststar4545 I actually had to try several times to get my live dvd to work (only worked 1 out of 5 times) I think it has something to do with how long it looks for a bootable disc on the drive...
[05:48] <NickGarvey> n0ctuRnaL-fieNd: I think audacity will do what you want
[05:48] <bruenig> Candamir, how much RAM do you have?
[05:48] <Candamir> 512
[05:48] <Candamir> m
[05:49] <JohnnyX> do you know how to fix it NickGarvey ?
[05:49] <bruenig> Candamir, How big is your HD?
[05:49] <Candamir> 55G
[05:49] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> NickGarvey: ill check it out , ty
[05:49] <Candamir> and the windows partition is 51G
[05:49] <bruenig> Candamir, Resize the windows partition to whatever size you want
[05:50] <Candamir> and until now, I resized it (the operation is still pending, though) and the result will be another 15G partition
[05:50] <Candamir> but do I have to make space for another partition or is that done automatically?
[05:51] <bruenig> Candamir, Right click on the 15G partition and select new
[05:51] <JohnnyX> laptop, screen wont come back on when i close the lid...anyone?
[05:51] <bruenig> Candamir, make it ext3 and primary and make it how big you want, but make sure you leave 1G for the swap
[05:51] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> NickGarvey: thats a audio editor , im just looking for like a addon to the audio driver to adjust the freq system wide , not just for a single app
[05:52] <loststar4545> witch does linux perform better on intel or amd proccessors
[05:52] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> amd64 baby
[05:52] <IcemanV9> gdb: how so? :P
[05:52] <dr_willis> i see no reason to perfer intel  over amd64 :P
[05:53] <gdb> IcemanV9: Optiplex GX620.  2GB RAM, P4 630 HT at 3Ghz, 3x250gb SATA 2 (one boot drive, 2 in a mirror).
[05:53] <Candamir> bruenig: so i put 1G in preceding space?
[05:53] <loststar4545> i am upgrading my PC  in  2 mounths probally  buyiing a core 2 duo
[05:53] <bruenig> Candamir, it doesn't really matter, I would put it after
[05:53] <gdb> IcemanV9: My previous server was a dual Celeron at 550Mhz with 512MB that was 6.5 years old. :-)
[05:54] <varsendaggr> how do i get midi synthesis working
[05:55] <NickGarvey> n0ctuRnaL-fieNd: ah, no idea :)
[05:55] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> the conroe looks like a good chip , but its really not  much better then an overclocked opteron
[05:55] <bruenig> Candamir, with the 1G right click on it select new and make it primary and then under file format, make it linux-swap
[05:55] <varsendaggr> !midi
[05:55] <ubotu> Trouble playing midi files? Look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo
[05:55] <IcemanV9> gdb: heh. people would not notice the difference between those boxes when run Ubuntu. ;)
[05:56] <Candamir> ok
[05:56] <Candamir> bruening: so now i have three operations pending: one resize and two create operations
[05:56] <Candamir> is that ok?
[05:57] <bruenig> yes
[05:57] <maccam94> is there a place where the ubuntu devs hang out? is there a way to contact them?
[05:57] <JanHammer> USB mics with skype on linux = fscking nuts
[05:57] <ActivitY> ok i'm totally having a chrisis, i think i may have "fixed" it hold on, i'll reboot/
[05:57] <JanHammer> seriously, NEVER have I seen such a complicated process
[05:57] <cwillu> whats a good general purpose text editor that's a bit more powerful than gedit, that fits in nicely with gnome?
[05:57] <Candamir> bruening: so now i click "forward" and the partitions will be created?
[05:57] <NickGarvey> vi!
[05:58] <bruenig> Candamir, yes
[05:58] <ActivitY> does anyone know if the nvidia drivers work with the 9700gtx?
[05:58] <bruenig> Candamir, when you get to the part where it asks you where to mount the partitions, the 14G should say / and the 1G should say swap, just leave whatever it gave the windows partition
[05:59] <nut> hi, I deleted all of my xorg configs, how may I create a new one ?
[05:59] <ActivitY> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, nut.
[05:59] <cwillu> NickGarvey: I'm going to pretend you said vim-gnome, and look at that
[05:59] <Candamir> bruenig: And afterwards, will I be able to automatically dual-boot Windows/Ubuntu or will I have to modify something else?
[05:59] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> nut: what he said
[06:00] <maccam94> nut: you might want to run Xorg -configure (without x running at the same time)
[06:00] <NickGarvey> cwillu: :)
[06:00] <bruenig> Candamir, It will be automatic, when you boot you will be offered a screen that lists ubuntu and windows, you select which one via keyboard and that's it
[06:00] <JohnnyX> my laptop screen wont come back on when i close the lid can anyone help?
[06:00] <ActivitY> does anyone know if the nvidia drivers work with the 9700gtx's?
[06:00] <realcoolguy> exit
[06:00] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> dont you guys love the software raid ? this thing is awesome
[06:00] <maccam94> JohnnyX: does it do anything if you hit the keys?
[06:00] <JohnnyX> no maccam94
[06:00] <JohnnyX> i have to shut it off
[06:01] <maccam94> or does it come out of standby but not the screen?
[06:01] <JohnnyX> which worries me
[06:01] <JohnnyX> the screen goes blank
[06:01] <JohnnyX> an i have to shut it down
[06:01] <cwillu> NickGarvey: my original comment including the disclaimer "(emacs and vi need not apply)", but I figured it was too obvious, and inflammatory to boot :)
[06:01] <Candamir> bruenig: thank you very much
[06:01] <maccam94> you can't hit the power button or anything?
[06:01] <Candamir> im off
[06:01] <JohnnyX> no
[06:01] <NickGarvey> cwillu: oh I milled that heh
[06:01] <maccam94> JohnnyX: what graphics drivers do you use?
[06:01] <JohnnyX> im not sure
[06:02] <JohnnyX> im a dell latitude d505
[06:02] <NickGarvey> missed*
[06:02] <maccam94> you might need to get your graphics drivers working properly, to get the ACPI functions working properly
[06:02] <JohnnyX> it was working fine this morning
[06:02] <cwillu> NickGarvey: no, I meant I didn't include it after thinking twice because I figured it wasn't necessary :)
[06:02] <JohnnyX> im pretty sure its something with hibernate
[06:02] <NickGarvey> cwillu: oh heh
[06:03] <NickGarvey> cwillu: I use gedit/abiword
[06:03] <snowballpuffingt> Is there some magic to see all of 250GB drive? I was sure it was more than 183GB before I reinstalled with Dapper.
[06:03] <TSCHAK> is there a way to force ubuntu to try suspend?
[06:03] <JohnnyX> it was working perfectly until i changed the screen saver
[06:03] <TSCHAK> only "hibernate" shows up for my laptop
[06:03] <DonL> Does anyone know a linux program that will read Microsoft Publisher (.pub) files?
[06:03] <NickGarvey> TSCHAK: whats the difference between suspend and hibernate?
[06:03] <maccam94> JohnnyX: then you might have to disable xscreensaver and see if that fixes it, then look through xscreensaver's settings to see if there's an option about it
[06:03] <JohnnyX> TSCHAK, http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=6270141
[06:04] <TSCHAK> NickGarvey, suspend to ram, versus suspend to disk...
[06:04] <NickGarvey> ah
[06:04] <JohnnyX> how maccam94
[06:04] <cwillu> NickGarvey: I miss ultraedit from w32;  nice and fast for programming, just customizable enough without becoming an operating system
[06:04] <JohnnyX> sorry TSCHAK wrong url http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75443
[06:05] <JohnnyX> maccam94, i edited the settings so that it wont ask me for a password when i close the lid
[06:05] <JohnnyX> dod you know how i change them back?
[06:05] <maccam94> JohnnyX: in system->preferences->screensaver
[06:05] <gdb> NickGarvey: one goes into low power mode but the machine is still turned on.  The other dumps RAM to disk and turns the machine off entirely.  The image is loaded back into RAM when the machine is turned on again.
[06:05] <JohnnyX> no i changed a file last night
[06:05] <JohnnyX> in /etc/acpi
[06:05] <JohnnyX> i cant remember which one though
[06:06] <JohnnyX> should i just turn the screensaver off maccam94
[06:07] <maccam94> JohnnyX: might as well
[06:07] <maccam94> JohnnyX: that file you changed might have affected it too
[06:08] <JohnnyX> it was working perfectly until a while ago
[06:08] <JohnnyX> so i dont think it was that
[06:08] <JohnnyX> the only thing i changed was the screen saver
[06:09] <bytewalker> how can i get my retarded laptop to stop shutting down because it thinks its overheating?
[06:09] <ActivitY> in the bios there should be an option
[06:09] <bytewalker> hmm but its not the bios, its linux shutting it down
[06:09] <JohnnyX> how can i get my laptop to turn the screen back on after i close the lid?
[06:10] <maccam94> try tapping the power button?
[06:10] <carlf1> what is the name of the 'stock' nvidia driver?
[06:10] <carlf1> nva or nvd or something
[06:10] <[Ex0r] > JohnnyX, you can't, it's a button that's pressed when the laptop lid is down
[06:10] <TSCHAK> carlf1, nv
[06:10] <carlf1> da!  thanks.
[06:10] <bytewalker> i saw the message 'reached critical temporeature of 81degrees or something' then it went into shutdown sequence
[06:10] <JohnnyX> [Ex0r] ,  when i open my lid back up it wont come back on
[06:10] <sloncho> how i check the current locale from CLI?
[06:10] <bytewalker> so can i like disable that somehow
[06:11] <Socceroos_Woooot> JohnnyX: try ctrl-alt-F1 then ctrl-alt-F7
[06:11] <JohnnyX> doesnt work Socceroos_Woooot
[06:11] <JohnnyX> already tried
[06:11] <[Ex0r] > JohnnyX, it should come back on once the lid opens up
[06:11] <JohnnyX> yea i know it should
[06:11] <[Ex0r] > JohnnyX, does it only do it in linux, or during bootup too ?
[06:11] <JohnnyX> but it doesnt
[06:11] <JohnnyX> thats why im asking
[06:11] <Socceroos_Woooot> JohnnyX: :( (worked on mine when i had the same problem with Warty)
[06:11] <JohnnyX> linux
[06:11] <JohnnyX> crap
[06:12] <JohnnyX> does no one know?
[06:12] <JohnnyX> i've been asking for hours it feels like
[06:12] <[Ex0r] > ah, so if it only does it in linux, it's not a hardware problem
[06:12] <bytewalker> think so yeah
[06:12] <JohnnyX> i know its not a hardware problem
[06:12] <bytewalker> err nm
[06:12] <[Ex0r] > i've no idea :\
[06:12] <ActivitY> how to i reset gdm from command line
[06:12] <NickGarvey> ActivitY: killall gdm

[06:13] <[Ex0r] > i've not used ubuntu yet to really offer any insight :\
[06:13] <ActivitY> does anyone know if the nvidia drivers work with the 9700's?
[06:14] <_smd_> Hey i have a question.   Since I have updated to dapper.  I am not able to see if someone closes the convo in gaim anymore.

[06:15] <bytewalker> does anyone know how i can get my laptop touchpad to not treat a double touch on the pad as a lefthanded click?
[06:15] <hyperspace> yay for mysql-query-browser segmentation faults
[06:15] <bytewalker> err , left mouse button click lol
[06:16] <JohnnyX> if you find out bytewalker let me know
[06:16] <JohnnyX> out of 800 people no one knows how to fix the laptop standby problem?
[06:17] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> JohnnyX: i heard some guys talking about the acpi problems or whatever you call the power menagement
[06:17] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> JohnnyX: they were talking about some fix , but i didnt pay too much attention
[06:18] <JohnnyX> someone mentioned updating
[06:18] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> JohnnyX: what are did you try to bring it out of standby?
[06:18] <JohnnyX> but i dont want to update just for one little problem
[06:18] <dibblego> in order to run OpenOffice, I need to install libstartup-notification0, however, doing so causes a segmentation fault - am I screwed? http://rafb.net/paste/results/d35BTS41.html
[06:18] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> JohnnyX: which version do u use?
[06:18] <JohnnyX> when i close the lid the screen doesnt come back on
[06:19] <JohnnyX> 5.10
[06:19] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> JohnnyX: did you try hitting the enter key?/
[06:19] <JohnnyX> yes
[06:19] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> JohnnyX: what about pressing the power button one time ?
[06:20] <JohnnyX> yes
[06:20] <JohnnyX> nothing works
[06:20] <JohnnyX> i have to power off
[06:20] <_smd_> Since I have updated to dapper.  I am not able to see if someone closes the convo in gaim anymore. I know it does do that in xp when i am at work.  but it does not do it here.  I looked through all the options and crap, abut it doesnt.  I dont even get the inactive script either

[06:29] <nickrud> onewaytolive17, did you get the idea about how to get java yet?
[06:29] <spikeb> sound-juicer can rip to mp3
[06:29] <nickrud> soundjuicer, grip Sivik, either.
[06:29] <Sivik> ok
[06:29] <tao36> hi!
[06:29] <Sivik> nickrud, i told you that i go nwn working didn't i
[06:30] <nickrud> Sivik, yup, you missed permissions ;)
[06:30] <Sivik> nickrud, among other things, i have the permissions fixed now
[06:31] <tao36> can some one tell me how start after instalation xubunto? i only get terminal output...
[06:31] <nickrud> Sivik, great. Now, be bored by that disappointing storyline.
[06:31] <kinection> hello, is there a way to get better/smoother skip/seeking inside video players like xine? It currently jumps to far when i try to skip.
[06:31] <Sivik> nickrud: i know most of the storyline already
[06:32] <tao36> the oem version.. anyone?
[06:32] <tao36> :)
[06:32] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> tao36: startx
[06:33] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> tao36: but the oem prabably doesnt install the xserver
[06:33] <tao36> nope.. :(
[06:33] <Strayhikari> Anyone up for helping me with compiz/xgl?
[06:33] <tao36> im trying to revive an older machine...
[06:33] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> tao36: if you want the gui u need to install using the textmode
[06:33] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> tao36: but i think u can just download it from the libs
[06:34] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> tao36: the repos i mean
[06:34] <tao36> the machine is not connected.. thou
[06:34] <dibblego> E: libgtk2.0-bin: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139 - is there anything I can do about that?
[06:34] <Graig> hello, is there a spell check thing for the dictionary? or a thesaurus thing?  i find the dictionary useful, but sometimes i don't know how to spell the word.
[06:34] <onewaytolive17> nickrud, no i didnt :( i dont get it
[06:35] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> tao36:im sure there is a way to install the x from the cd from the command line but i have no idea how
[06:35] <nickrud> onewaytolive17, ok, you need to enable the multiverse repository. You should have gotten a pm that had a link to instructions for that. Have you looked over the link yet?
[06:35] <Awesome-o2000> remember we were talking about acpi before? on both my systems it has this disgusting habit of powering down the network card
[06:36] <Awesome-o2000> im taking it off of both my systems
[06:36] <m4zt3r> when trying to play a dvd disc, i get the message "The source can't be read. Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data"  I mean it says this on EVERY DVD i try and play on my pc. i found out its becuz i dont have a css decrypter
[06:36] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> tao36: if u cant find it just reinstall using the textmode install
[06:36] <tao36> n0ctuRnaL-fieNd do you sugest me to reinstall in textmode?
[06:36] <Awesome-o2000> itll wke the card back up but who wants to wait while it does?
[06:36] <tao36> ok... :)
[06:36] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> tao36: yup textmode installs the x and gui
[06:36] <tao36> :/
[06:36] <nickrud> dibblego, could you post the whole message? Context matters in that
[06:36] <tao36> sh@#
[06:37] <dibblego> nickrud, ok give me a minute
[06:37] <tao36> there i go.....
[06:37] <onewaytolive17> nickrud,  i cant follow these directions; in order to enable the multiverse, it says i need to go to software properties; i dont got that
[06:37] <Sivik> nickrud, and after i use that juicer program, its easy to move those files to my zen via gnomad2 correct
[06:38] <nickrud> onewaytolive17, are you running gnome?
[06:38] <dibblego> nickrud, http://rafb.net/paste/results/d35BTS41.html
[06:38] <tao36> n0ctuRnaL-fieNd im assuming you know xubunto oem? ;)
[06:38] <nickrud> Sivik, that I don't know, I don't have a zen
[06:38] <Sivik> onewaytolive17, are you doing it via command line or package adder app?
[06:38] <onewaytolive17> nickrud, my laptop cant handle it
[06:38] <Sivik> nickrud, lol
[06:38] <nickrud> onewaytolive17, ok, then.
[06:39] <JohnnyX> how do i get back to a gui from the command line login?
[06:39] <bimberi> JohnnyX: ctrl-alt-f7
[06:39] <nickrud> onewaytolive17, go to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 . That is a complete set of sources. Replace the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list with those.
[06:39] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> tao36: no but the first time i was installing i did the oem install , it didnt have a gui , so then i did a server install and it didnt have the gui either , so now i know the text mode has what i want
[06:39] <sportman_> could someone walk me through installing mplayer on hoary?
[06:40] <sportman_> cause i want to get freevo going
[06:40] <nickrud> onewaytolive17, gksudo "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" will open the correct file

[06:54] <ActivitY> ok, so i just did "sudo mkdir /sdb"
[06:54] <Ap0s7le> I was wondering if when I'm using a windows machine if I can also see the desktop gui through SSH?
[06:54] <houseoftainted_> nickrud, i missed everything everybody said

[06:54] <avis> i'm curious i've got a one subnet wireless router and am connected by cat5 patch cable.  is it possible to also connect by wep to the same router ?  just for kicks to see how the computer would respond ?
[06:54] <Latino> how do I fix this error: "checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!"
[06:54] <cfrun> Question with Exim4 default transport configuration here
[06:55] <nickrud> houseoftainted_, go to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 . Those are good, complete sources. Replace the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list with those sources.
[06:55] <DemonHeadx> wizard: what kind of card do you have?
[06:55] <nanotube> can anyone please tell me if when they go to preferences>keyboard shortcuts, they see a line item called "sleep" or "suspend" or something of this nature? on dapper.
[06:55] <dooglus> Latino: install "x-dev" I think
[06:55] <houseoftainted_> nickrud,  huh???
[06:55] <Strayhikari> wow
[06:55] <dibblego> remind me to never sudo apt-get remove libstartup-notification0 ever again
[06:55] <Latino> yeah, it's something like that, but I can't remember the proper name
[06:55] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> ActivitY: hold on a sec
[06:55] <Strayhikari> finally just got compiz/xgl working
[06:55] <Strayhikari> omg
[06:55] <ActivitY> rgr
[06:55] <Latino> xlibs-dev or something like that, right?
[06:55] <dooglus> dibblego: you should install "ubuntu-desktop" - that will bring in all the stuff you lost
[06:56] <cfrun> in update-exim4.conf.conf there is no field to LOCAL_DELIVERY...anyone know how to add one?
[06:56] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> tao36: yeah ubuntu has the g++ compiler
[06:56] <DemonHeadx> Can someone help me with my Laptop wireless linksys WPC54GS v1.1 card, ubuntu doesn't even read it and i cannot connect to the router.
[06:56] <nickrud> houseoftainted_,  the command line      cd /etc/apt && sudo cp sources.list.original && sudo "gedit sources.list" will get you there safely

[06:56] <nanotube> can anyone please tell me if when they go to preferences>keyboard shortcuts, they see a line item called "sleep" or "suspend" or something of this nature? on dapper. come on, this is like the easiest question. just go and look. please? :)
[06:56] <DemonHeadx> Please i really need some help on this..
[06:56] <mattyv> DemonHeadx: do u know what chipset it uses, is it broadcom?
[06:57] <arigo>  right now I'm on the net through dial-up by looking through the snyaptic package manager, finding wvdial and running wvdial in a terminal.  Is using wvdial the best way to connect? Is there a way to make it an icon? And is there a way to add the packages as icons inside synaptic package manager?  I think I made the mistake of asking too many questions ;). I'm quite the noob, and ubuntu installed so easily I learned nothing about it on the way
[06:57] <cef> is there some sort of graphical manager for grub? ie: to edit the grub config using the gui instead of manually editing it with vi or something?
[06:57] <dibblego> dooglus, righto, doing that now
[06:57] <dooglus> Latino: or "x11proto-core-dev" - that's the new name for it, apparently.
[06:57] <DragonRift> nanotube: my desktop has dual core 3.4 ghz intel, 2 GB 1066 MHz DDR2
[06:57] <DragonRift> :p
[06:57] <Ap0s7le> I was wondering if when I'm using a windows machine if I can also see the desktop gui through SSH?
[06:57] <avis> nanotube, nope i dont see that in keyboard shortcuts
[06:57] <DemonHeadx> mattyv its a wireless card
[06:57] <cfrun> cef: none that I know of, but the grub.conf isn't too terribly confusing
[06:57] <Latino> let me try that, too
[06:58] <nanotube> DragonRift: hehe well, that's pretty good. :) better than what i have on my 3ghz p4 laptop.
[06:58] <houseoftainted_> nickrud,  said try cp for more help
[06:58] <Dial_tone> whats the command to load a module?
[06:58] <houseoftainted_> nickrud,  its all it said
[06:58] <dooglus> Ap0s7le: FreeNX lets you log on to your ubuntu desktop from windows
[06:58] <cef> cfrun: yeah I know. I upgraded from breezy, so I wasn't sure if there was one and it just wasn't installed or something. *grin*
[06:58] <cfrun> Ap0s71le: google CygWIN
[06:58] <nanotube> avis: thanks for looking. well, i guess that doesn't bode well for my being able to set a kb shortcut for suspend...
[06:58] <dooglus> Ap0s7le: or you can use x11vnc, but that doesn't use ssh
[06:58] <mattyv> diff wireless cards use diff chipsets, i know some revisions of linksys use broadcom, ill find a link with some info
[06:58] <houseoftainted_> nickrud,  but im in the apt directory
[06:58] <nickrud> houseoftainted_, it's all one line, it got wrapped by your irc client
[06:58] <cfrun> anyone know how to add a variable field for LOCAL_DELIVERY in the update-exim4.conf.conf file?
[06:58] <cef> cfrun: it's also one of those things that newbies will probaby get confused over too
[06:59] <Ap0s7le> It's on my local network, I was just told it's possible through SSH and so that's why I asked the question the way I did. Thanks a alot :)
[06:59] <DemonHeadx> ok thank you very much mattyv
[06:59] <dibblego> I still get the segmentation fault for libgtk2.0-bin
[06:59] <dibblego> which I think is unavoidable
[06:59] <nanotube> DemonHeadx: you might have good luck if you go and search for linksys <yourmodelnumber> in the ubuntuforums (ubuntuforums.org). you might come up with a howto or something.
[06:59] <avis> nanotube, perhaps if your keyboard had a suspend/sleep button it might have an option ?  or perhaps you can define another keyboard definition to add that ?  dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:59] <cfrun> cef: well, considering it is a pretty vital file, it would be nice to have a GUI
[06:59] <Ap0s7le> What should I use, like which is the best choice?
[06:59] <bytewalker> is there a special menu or something to configure ll the laptop stuff like Cpu temp threshold n stuff like that?
[06:59] <houseoftainted_> nickrud, ok what should have happened?
[06:59] <cef> cfrun: exactly.
[06:59] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> ActivitY: nope , i cant really help u with mounting , im having problems mounting my own ntfs drive ,
[06:59] <ActivitY> it's not ntfs
[06:59] <dooglus> Ap0s7le: you can use an ssh connection to run apps on ubuntu and have them display on windows, but you'll need to be running an X server on the windows box for that to work.  (see cygwin, as previously mentioned)
[07:00] <ActivitY> (my drive)
[07:00] <cfrun> Ap0s7le: It's user's preference.  I've used cygwin and like it well enough, but it can be clunky.
[07:00] <ActivitY> i'll keep hammering away, i'll let you know if i find out
[07:00] <nickrud> houseoftainted_, it will safely preserve your original /etc/apt/sources.list, and then open them in an editor for you to change to the ones on the pastebin site
[07:00] <dooglus> Ap0s7le: using FreeNX or x11vnc you can see your whole ubuntu desktop on the windows machine, not just individual apps)
[07:00] <mattyv> Demon, i suspect u have a broadcom, as i do also, look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[07:00] <nanotube> avis: my actual sleep button (supposed to be Fn-Esc) does nothing. so on breezy i was able to just set a diff shortcut for sleep, because the sleep item was in the panel. on dapper, that's gone. and looking in gconf, i see that it says "the schema is missing"
[07:00] <Ap0s7le> Sweet
[07:00] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> ActivitY: i know , im just saying im not really familiar with mounting
[07:00] <cfrun> Last call for any exim4 gurus....anyone wanna help?
[07:01] <dooglus> Ap0s7le: nx is much faster than vnc, but since you're on the LAN that's probably not a concern.
[07:01] <arigo> ok, how about this simple question. How do I even disconnect from the net if I used wvdial to connect?
[07:01] <DemonHeadx> ok let me check this out mattyv
[07:01] <avis> ok, nanotube... it sounds like you know more about this than myself.  only thing i could think of was using another keyboard definition
[07:01] <Ap0s7le> awesome
[07:01] <houseoftainted_> ok i just replace it then?
[07:01] <nickrud> cfrun, there's a sample assignment in  update-exim4.conf.conf
[07:02] <Ap0s7le> FreeNX would allow me to use the whole desktop though, like I was sitting at that machine?
[07:02] <nikkun> does anyone know why i get this error everytime i ./configure? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16316
[07:02] <cfrun> nickrud: I don't see anything in my .conf.conf that relates to LOCAL_DELIVERY though :-/
[07:02] <houseoftainted_> nickrud,  ok so i jsut replace em entirely?
[07:02] <ActivitY> @n0ctuRnaL-fieNd: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=200080
[07:02] <arigo> ...
[07:02] <nickrud> cfrun, see CFILEMODE='644' ? like that
[07:02] <dooglus> ActivitY: you need to specify which partition you want to mount.  /dev/sdb sounds like the whole disk.  do you mean /dev/sdb1 ?
[07:02] <ActivitY> no, i want to mount the whole disk
[07:03] <ActivitY> i brought a new drive for backing up
[07:03] <nanotube> avis: well, thanks a lot for trying, anyway. you're doing better than everyone else here in this regard, at any rate. ;)
[07:03] <nickrud> cfrun, now, just what the assignment should be is another question :)
[07:03] <ActivitY> it's not going to do anything but hold info
[07:03] <cfrun> nickrud: No, I'm looking for the option that lets me split mail in to $home/maildir or mbox
[07:03] <ActivitY> well, data
[07:03] <dooglus> ActivitY: disks have partitions, partitions have file systems.  it's file systems you mount.  you need to specify which partition holds the file system you want to mount.
[07:03] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> ActivitY: ty , ill give that a try
[07:03] <ActivitY> the drive has one partition i think
[07:03] <dooglus> ActivitY: use "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb" to see the partition list
[07:03] <avis> nanotube, your very welcome.  i felt sorry for the guy with the exim problem as well.  i was going to say "your problem of not getting an answer is the story of my life :)"
[07:03] <ActivitY> ext2 off the top of my head
[07:03] <nanotube> Ap0s7le: yes, you would use the whole desktop, as if you were sitting at it. (only maybe with a bit of lag :) )
[07:04] <ActivitY> but the partition takes the whole drive up
[07:04] <DemonHeadx> matyv
[07:04] <dooglus> ActivitY: it doesn't matter
[07:04] <Ap0s7le> That's very cool
[07:04] <houseoftainted_> nickrud,  ok so i jsut replace em entirely?
[07:04] <cwillu> how do you search backwards in less?
[07:04] <avis> ubuntuforums.org is not bad at all and i have heard here that the ubuntu mailing lists are very good.
[07:04] <nanotube> avis: yea, i always feel sad when someone asks a question i can't help with. so what's your question today? maybe i can help ;)
[07:04] <Frogzoo> ?
[07:04] <dooglus> ActivitY: list the partitions using that fdisk command - you'll probably find sdb1 is the one you want
[07:04] <nickrud> cfrun, maildir delivery, a sec.
[07:04] <ActivitY> ok
[07:04] <ActivitY> *tries*
[07:04] <cfrun> cwillu I think it's the '\'
[07:04] <Ap0s7le> nanotube, Do I need to install anything on my windows machine to use that?
[07:05] <Frogzoo> cwillu: use N to search next backwards
[07:05] <cfrun> nickrud: Thanks a bunch!
[07:05] <nickrud> cfrun, it's been a while since I set it up, it was fire and forget. a sec
[07:05] <mattyv> huh?
[07:05] <ActivitY> ...whoa
[07:05] <cwillu> right, thanks :)
[07:05] <DemonHeadx> hmm, it wants me to download something but how can i? if i cannot connect to the router to get the internet?
[07:05] <nanotube> Ap0s7le: well yes, you need to install freenx on both ends in order to use it.
[07:05] <nikkun> does anyone know why i get this error everytime i ./configure? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16316
[07:05] <cwillu> for some reason it was escaping me :)
[07:05] <ActivitY> mikus@m1k3:~$ fdisk sdb
[07:05] <ActivitY> Unable to open sdb
[07:05] <arigo>  right now I'm on the net through dial-up by looking through the snyaptic package manager, finding wvdial and running wvdial in a terminal.  Is using wvdial the best way to connect? Is there a way to make it an icon? And is there a way to add the packages as icons inside synaptic package manager?
[07:05] <avis> nanotube.. hmm, a simple one.  is something like a dns server on a desktop such as bind over a pppoe connection authenticated over a 1 subnet wired/less router difficult for a person who hasn't had much more than basic networking experience ?
[07:06] <mattyv> ah, catch 22, any possibility of connecting by ethernet temporarily
[07:06] <Ap0s7le> nanotube, but I don't see anything to be installed on their site for Windows. Hmm
[07:06] <dooglus> Ap0s7le: you need to install the nx client on your windows box: http://www.nomachine.com/download-client-windows.php
[07:06] <houseoftainted_> nickrud,  shit, biggg problem now; i saved it and now when i do apt-cache search i get a bunch of errors
[07:06] <cfrun> BIND simple for someone without networking experience?  HA!
[07:06] <avis> houseoftainted_, watch your language
[07:06] <cwillu> yay for cat */*/*/* | less
[07:07] <DemonHeadx> um
[07:07] <DemonHeadx> yea i guess i can
[07:07] <houseoftainted_> avis,  im just getting frustrated
[07:07] <nickrud> houseoftainted_, you can return to the original by   cd /etc/apt && sudo cp sources.list.original sources.list
[07:07] <ActivitY> dooglus: can i pm you?
[07:07] <nickrud> houseoftainted_, but that's the change you must make
[07:07] <avis> i'm sorry houseoftainted_ its just channel rules.  family channel.
[07:07] <Ap0s7le> Thanks, you're a great help dooglus!
[07:07] <houseoftainted_> nickrud,  Couldn't stat source package list
[07:07] <dooglus> cwillu: that will only find files which are exactly 3 levels down from where you are...  find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' | less   is better :)
[07:08] <dooglus> ActivitY: sure
[07:08] <houseoftainted_> nickrud,  im getting that error spammed on the page
[07:08] <nickrud> houseoftainted_, did you do sudo apt-get update ?
[07:08] <cwillu> dooglus: which is exactly what I wanted in this case, but thanks :)
[07:08] <dooglus> ActivitY: you need to be registered, or I won't see it
[07:08] <DemonHeadx> Mattyv: ok connected with the router via ethernet cable.
[07:08] <cfrun> werd to dooglus.  find rocks.
[07:08] <Ap0s7le> Will is be that easy to install on Ubuntu?
[07:08] <ActivitY> i am registered
[07:08] <arigo> it's easy to install it
[07:08] <nanotube> avis: i never had to do quite what you describe, but i suspect that you can find some tutorials or documentation online that will walk you through it. ...
[07:08] <arigo> but from where I am, it's not easy to use ;P
[07:08] <cwillu> houseoftainted_:  have you done an apt-get update?
[07:08] <nickrud> houseoftainted_, lets try this: paste your /etc/apt/sources.list on paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[07:08] <arigo> i'm not at all impressed yet ;P gnome is not intuitive and the fact it's all just installed for you means you know how to do nothing!
[07:09] <mattyv> Demon: if u can get on the internet easily that way, apt-get should handle anything u need to install
[07:09] <cfrun> KDE is bettah.
[07:09] <DemonHeadx> mattyv: negative i cannot connect either with the ethernet. do i have to set it up?
[07:09] <sportman_> should i just upgrade to breezy
[07:09] <sportman_> :(I
[07:10] <nickrud> cfrun, I can't even find the right help yet ;(
[07:10] <DemonHeadx> mattyv: or does it set it self up?
[07:10] <avis> nanotube, ok.  thank you.  reason i ask is i'm paying for a bnc/web hosting daemon on a freebsd shell account and thought it would be nice to host it myself.  granted, i dont push high bandwidth on the domain i'd like to run a web server on.
[07:10] <nikkun> does anyone know why i get this error everytime i ./configure? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16316
[07:10] <mattyv> depends, if you're using dhcp it will usually set it up automagically, need to configure otherwise
[07:10] <cfrun> nickrud: heh, well thanks for trying...if you have any input on the Ubuntu dev net, you might suggest they put that in the .conf.conf
[07:10] <cfrun> it's very necessary when configuring dovecot
[07:11] <SpeedyIndy> how safe is it to write to a NTFS drive using ubuntu+fuse+ntfsprogs?
[07:11] <DemonHeadx> mattyv:yes i am using DHCP but still it didn't configure its self..
[07:11] <Strayhikari> Does anyone know a way to force a monitor to use a higher resolution?
[07:11] <Dial_tone> higher than what
[07:11] <nanotube> Ap0s7le: http://nomachine.com/download.php (get the nx client for windows)
[07:11] <avis> nikkun, yes.  you need to "apt-get update ; apt-get gnome-desktop"
[07:11] <cfrun> Strayhikary /etc/xorg.conf
[07:11] <DemonHeadx> mattyv: ok its working now
[07:11] <cfrun> I think that's the conf file anyway
[07:11] <Frogzoo> Strayhikari: setting horizsync/vertrefresh can allow the use of higher res modes
[07:12] <nikkun> avis: why do i need gnome?
[07:12] <Frogzoo> !fixres
[07:12] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[07:12] <houseoftainted_> nickrud, ok what file do i search for? its all working ifne
[07:12] <avis> nikkun, well you dont, just whatever x server that you use.  my bad.
[07:12] <Ap0s7le> Thank you nanotube :)
[07:12] <nickrud> cfrun, I remember now: I used procmail to drop mail into my maildirs, I only had to add my dc_smarthost and set up passwd.client.
[07:12] <Strayhikari> Frogzoo: Linux doesn't detect my monitor so its just assumes it is to be a 1024x769 montiro
[07:12] <Strayhikari> I'll try to edit my xorg.conf
[07:12] <nanotube> avis: well, if all you need the dns for is for it to point to some webserver, can't you just get the place you bought the domain for to point it to an ip of your choice? why do you need a dns server?
[07:12] <Strayhikari> *768
[07:12] <cfrun> nickrud: D0h.  Well ok thanks again mate
[07:13] <nanotube> Ap0s7le: no prob :)
[07:13] <nickrud> cfrun, I'm lazy, easy way forward for me
[07:13] <Frogzoo> Strayhikari: read the fixres wiki ^^^
[07:13] <Ap0s7le> I'm installing Ubuntu now...
[07:13] <arigo> can people see me type?
[07:13] <sportman_> nope
[07:13] <timboteam> yes
[07:13] <Frogzoo> arigo: see what?
[07:13] <sportman_> def can't
[07:13] <sportman_> lol
[07:13] <sportman_> haha
[07:13] <sportman_> ;)
[07:13] <avis> nanotube you'd think it would be as simple as that but then isn't nothing as simple as that ?  e.g. the default mail transport system, etc.  :)
[07:13] <cfrun> yeah true.  I just don't wanna run procmail or fetchmail
[07:14] <nickrud> houseoftainted_,  install sun-java5-bin and sun-java5-plugin
[07:14] <cfrun> well, if I weren't so darn scared of editing the exim4.conf file, I'd just do that, but I'd rather let the scripts do it for me
[07:14] <cfrun> safer that way
[07:14] <nanotube> avis: well, i guess maybe it depends on who you bought the domain from, but i am able to configure detailed dns records thgouh my domain provider. so... maybe you can too. have you looked?
[07:15] <garryF> No but we can see the letters after you typed. Only those looking at you can see you type.
[07:15] <nikkun> avis: i get an error from apt when i try and update kde
[07:16] <avis> nanotube, nope i sure havent.  and for what its worth i used godaddy.  and btw, that would solve alot of problems because my pppoe is bound to dyndns.org in my router upon a successful network start.
[07:16] <cfrun> Welp, thanks for the effort nickrud.  I'm off to search blogs and stuff.
[07:16] <avis> nikkun, what is the error ?
[07:16] <elkbuntu> wow
[07:16] <wizardjames> wow..
[07:16] <wizardjames> NETSPLIT
[07:16] <nanotube> wow

[07:17] <houseoftainted_> O.o
[07:17] <wizardjames> keke niven dies
[07:17] <nikkun> avis: it was saying the dependencies werent met
[07:17] <wizardjames> niven.freenode.net dies

[07:18] <garryF> Holy cow
[07:18] <wizardjames> ahhh
[07:18] <NickGarvey> !netsplit
[07:18] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[07:18] <avis> if the dependencies weren't meant when you tried to update kde-desktop i wouldn't know how to fix that from what i believed its usually resolved for you.
[07:18] <nanotube> anyone know what acpi_fakekey is supposed to be? that's what presumably gets called when i press the sleep button...
[07:18] <dooglus> I saw 590 split
[07:18] <NickGarvey> know what sucks?
[07:18] <NickGarvey> gaim logs my chat convos
[07:18] <NickGarvey> guess its time to start clearing :)
[07:19] <nikkun> avis: im getting a kde-desktop not found error when i run that
[07:19] <dooglus> you can ask it not to
[07:19] <garryF> If the person you were helping or getting help from gets split away from ye?
[07:19] <dooglus> nikkun: you need to install the X includes...
[07:19] <dooglus> nikkun: nothing to do with gnome :)
[07:19] <dooglus> nikkun: (or kde)
[07:19] <avis> nikkun -- ok.  no problem.  you just need the package name of the x server.  someone here should be kind enough to tell you
[07:19] <dooglus> nikkun: it's x11proto-core-dev:
[07:20] <nikkun> dooglus: im pritty sure i apt that already
[07:20] <dooglus> nikkun: try it again?
[07:20] <nikkun> ok
[07:20] <Flannel> xserver-xorg I believe
[07:20] <dooglus> nikkun: what are you trying to build?
[07:20] <nikkun> dooglus: do i need to reboot after adding the lib or something
[07:20] <dooglus> nikkun: no
[07:20] <nikkun> it has given me teh error for everythign i try and build
[07:21] <avis> dooglus, i believe he needs the kde desktop base
[07:21] <dooglus> nikkun: but for building, the dependencies you need end with '-dev'
[07:21] <nikkun> i assumed that much
[07:21] <nikkun> i apt-get install x-dev
[07:21] <nikkun> witch got that one
[07:21] <nikkun> but it still didnt work
[07:21] <dooglus> avis: I missed some when the netsplit happened - is the error still "checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes."?
[07:21] <dooglus> nikkun: so is the error still the same?
[07:21] <nikkun> yep
[07:22] <avis> yes dooglus but disregard my diagnostics i was unaware of his goals
[07:22] <dooglus> nikkun: give me an example of something you're trying to build
[07:22] <nikkun> dooglus: right now superkaramba
[07:23] <dooglus> nikkun: did you try using build-dep to get the dependencies?
[07:23] <nikkun> dooglus: no what is the command for that?
[07:23] <dooglus> nikkun: 1. edit /etc/apt/sources.list, adding "deb-src" lines for each "deb" line
[07:24] <dooglus> nikkun: 2. sudo apt-get update
[07:24] <dooglus> nikkun: 3. sudo apt-get build-dep superkaramba
[07:24] <peanutb> how do i tell the % of RAM im using?
[07:24] <nikkun> i have the sources
[07:24] <nikkun> superkaramba is not in the repositories
[07:24] <dooglus> nikkun: this isn't to get the sources, it's to be the dependencies
[07:24] <dooglus> !info superkaramba
[07:24] <ubotu> superkaramba: a program based on karamba improving the eyecandy of KDE. In repository universe, is optional. Version 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu8 (dapper), package size 504 kB, installed size 1376 kB
[07:24] <dooglus> 'tis!
[07:24] <nikkun> >.<
[07:24] <nikkun> why is it not showing up then
[07:25] <dooglus> 'cos it's in universe, which you didn't enable?
[07:25] <dooglus> !universe
[07:25] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto and !easysource

[07:25] <cyphase> argh
[07:25] <allnickstaken> what does this mean?
[07:26] <nickrud> allnickstaken, it probably means you have synaptic or the update-manager opne
[07:26] <allnickstaken> accidentally closed my window
[07:26] <q_a_z_steve> okay so I just installed Breezy last night and I'm going to probably use the upgrade manager I guess. My question is this: I want to use Bootpart to have Win2k as well as Dapper on this computer, but can I use GRUB???
[07:26] <cyphase> i'm waiting for a new card
[07:26] <allnickstaken> thanks, that i do nickrud
[07:27] <dooglus> q_a_z_steve: grub can dual boot linux and windows, if that's the question
[07:27] <timboteam> Does anyone know about network manager? I need help connecting to wireless.
[07:27] <q_a_z_steve> Windows has to be the primary for it to work seamless though doesn't it?
[07:27] <Ap0s7le> I just went to boot and it said "Grub Error 18" dangit
[07:27] <allnickstaken> now it says I can't the package doesn't exist even tho I'm copying it word for word from support website, ughh
[07:27] <q_a_z_steve> !grub
[07:27] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:28] <allnickstaken> can't get rather
[07:28] <burepe1> I installed banshee and I want to add some plugins. I am lookin at the plugin page and it has some urls. Can I add these plugins using the urls with apt-get? If not how do I do it?
[07:28] <nickrud> allnickstaken, what package?
[07:28] <allnickstaken> gnome-ppp
[07:29] <timboteam> Does anyone know how to connect to wireless with ubuntu?
[07:29] <burepe1> oops I installed banshee and I want to add some plugins. I am lookin at the plugin page and it has some urls. Can I add these plugins using the urls with apt-get? If not how do I do it?  Here is the page wth the plug ins http://www.banshee-project.org/Plugins
[07:29] <peanutb> how do i tell the % of RAM im using?
[07:29] <burepe1> !wireless
[07:29] <ubotu> Documentation for wireless networking can be found on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs
[07:29] <Flannel> peanutb: top
[07:29] <nickrud> allnickstaken, that's in universe, but it's pretty old. Why are you using it
[07:29] <nayif> after i upgrade ubuntu to dapper i dont notcie all features on clean one?
[07:29] <q_a_z_steve> peanutb: torsmo
[07:29] <nickrud> allnickstaken, I mean, is there a particular reason?
[07:29] <nayif> like password keeper
[07:29] <burepe1> !japanese
[07:29] <allnickstaken> what am I supposed to use? I read it was a frontend for wvdial
[07:29] <ubotu> I know nothing about japanese
[07:30] <peanutb> flannel, thanks, i knew i had seen it somewhere
[07:30] <Flannel> !jp
[07:30] <ubotu> I know nothing about jp
[07:30] <dooglus> nayif: what if you make a new user and log in as that?  do you see all the feature then?
[07:30] <nickrud> allnickstaken, I believe that ubuntu has a ppp dialer built in, under system-admin-networking.
[07:30] <q_a_z_steve> !lilo
[07:30] <ubotu> lilo is an alternative [Li] nux Boot[Lo] ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead.
[07:30] <allnickstaken> that doesn't work. it doesn't detect my modem
[07:31] <nickrud> allnickstaken, that's probably a problem with the modem. what type is it?
[07:31] <q_a_z_steve> anyone know any bootpart channels or someone I can ask about using GRUB?
[07:31] <nayif> dooglus, oh i did not think like that,i will try this
[07:31] <allnickstaken> usrobotics software. Why does wvdial work fine then?
[07:32] <nickrud> allnickstaken, if it already worked, good.
[07:32] <dooglus> nayif: I'm thinking that the features you're missing are due to your user having old GNOME config files.
[07:32] <nickrud> allnickstaken, anyway, gnome-ppp is in universe.
[07:34] <hollowman8904> how do you get wireless working in ubuntu
[07:35] <bytewalker> anyone gotten wireless working with a broadcom??
[07:35] <bytewalker> im havin some probs
[07:35] <hollowman8904> thats what i have
[07:35] <steveO> bytewalker: I had problems too!
[07:35] <allnickstaken> I don't know how I'm supposed to specify universe nickrud.  This is what I was told to enter in terminal to install the frontend: sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp   what is wrong with it?
[07:35] <steveO> I couldn't make my Dell laptop w/ a broadcom work..
[07:35] <bytewalker> ndiswrapper -l says driver and hardware present
[07:36] <q_a_z_steve> what's the equivalent to /etc/lilo.conf with GRUB?
[07:36] <bytewalker> BUT when i ifup wlan0  i get SIOCSIFADDR: No such device ...blah blah blah!!
[07:36] <nickrud> allnickstaken, nothing at all. If you have the right repos and sections enabled. take a look at the message from ubotu, it has some links to what universe is and and how to enable it
[07:36] <bytewalker> lspci -l shows the same address as on the list
[07:36] <bytewalker> WTF?!?!?
[07:36] <steveO> edit your sources.list
[07:36] <nickrud> !universe allnickstaken
[07:36] <ubotu> I know nothing about universe allnickstaken
[07:36] <nickrud> !universe > allnickstaken
[07:36] <allnickstaken> thanks
[07:36] <nickrud> new syntax
[07:38] <bytewalker> cmon someone here HAS to have a broadcom wireless too:(
[07:40] <allnickstaken> I went to edit the sources.list file and uncommented out what i was supposed to as said by link. However, It doesn't let me save it because I don't have permission. ughh
[07:40] <KenSentMe> Does anyone know how i can paste html in an Evolution mail so i can send it as a html mail?
[07:41] <varsendaggr> hey how do i posturize with gimp?
[07:41] <dooglus> allnickstaken: "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[07:41] <KenSentMe> !tell allnickstaken about root
[07:41] <Flannel> dooglus, allnickstaken, gksudo
[07:41] <allnickstaken> thanks, I can't use the text editor huh
[07:41] <dooglus> Flannel: I prefer sudo.
[07:41] <nickrud> allnickstaken, gksudo "gedit /etc/sources.list" Another message coming ;)
[07:41] <houseoftainted_> nickrud,  it just got done downloading all of this crap when i put apt get
[07:41] <nickrud> !root > allnickstaken
[07:41] <Flannel> dooglus: sudo for graphical apps breaks them.
[07:41] <dooglus> allnickstaken: gedit is the text editor, but you have to run it as root
[07:41] <dooglus> Flannel: not gedit it doesn't
[07:42] <hollowman8904> what do i do after i ndiswrapper my windows driver for my wireless?
[07:42] <nickrud> if you save any options, you might have issues
[07:42] <Flannel> dooglus: right, but don't confuse newbies with which ones do or dont.  It's fine if you want to tempt fate, provide assistance with best practices though, please.
[07:42] <houseoftainted_> nickrud, Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[07:42] <Lord-ChewY> hi
[07:43] <Hobbsee> hollowman8904: sudo depmod -a && sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[07:43] <Lord-ChewY> i got a question, how can i get metacity running?
[07:43] <nickrud> houseoftainted_, try the sudo apt-get -f install  by itself
[07:43] <dooglus> Lord-ChewY: metacity runs when you log in to GNOME
[07:43] <Lord-ChewY> i thought it was nautalus
[07:43] <dooglus> Lord-ChewY: it's what draws the frames on all your windows
[07:43] <Escobar> If I want to use both Ubuntu and Windows (already have windows installed) on the same box...  then what partition method should I choose on Step 5?
[07:43] <dooglus> Lord-ChewY: nautilus is the file manager - the thing that draws the icons
[07:43] <nikkun> dooglus: sorry to bother you again but now im gettting an error with apt saying libsnmp5-dev isnt avalable
[07:44] <Flannel> !tell Escobar about dualboot
[07:44] <dooglus> !info libsnmp5-dev
[07:44] <Flannel> Escobar: that'll get you all the info you need... or, it should.
[07:44] <ubotu> Package libsnmp5-dev does not exist in dapper
[07:44] <hollowman8904> what after depmod and modprobe?
[07:44] <dooglus> nikkun: that a dependency of what package?
[07:44] <Escobar> ok thanks
[07:44] <nikkun> still working on superkaraba
[07:45] <dooglus> nikkun: I'll take a look
[07:45] <nikkun> ok
[07:45] <dooglus> nikkun: did you spell that package name exactly right?
[07:45] <KenSentMe> Does anyone know how i can use my home made html in an email with Evolution?
[07:45] <hollowman8904> what do i do after depmod and modprobe to get my wireless working?
[07:46] <nikkun> yes its libsnmp5-dev
[07:46] <dooglus> nikkun: oh, I see it too.  odd.  very odd.
[07:46] <burepe> what file is "(libdir)" in "$(libdir)/banshee/Banshee.Plugins "?
[07:46] <dooglus> nikkun: all I can guess is that it's not really needed...  what if you try installing all the rest that it lists?
[07:47] <nikkun> dooglus: is there a way i can make it ignore that 1?
[07:47] <dooglus> nikkun: this:  sudo apt-get install $(sudo apt-get build-dep superkaramba 2>/dev/null | grep '^  ')
[07:47] <InnerFIRE> where can i find instructions for networking my linux machine with a windows machine? its a wireless connection
[07:48] <Ademan> are there any other options for the gnome panel "window list" other than what you get from right click->preferences?
[07:48] <dooglus> nikkun: it's kind of cheating, but it'll work
[07:48] <nikkun> ok...
[07:48] <dooglus> nikkun: so long as it doesn't need to prompt you for a password - that might make it fail.
[07:49] <nikkun> dooglus: well i had jsut sudo apt-get somthign so it was safe
[07:49] <dooglus> nikkun: of course, not you've enabled the repositories, you could just install superkaramba from the binary package
[07:49] <nikkun> true
[07:50] <dooglus> nikkun: are you running dapper?
[07:50] <hollowman8904> !mp3

[07:50] <nikkun> i hope i dont run into this problem again then
[07:50] <nikkun> yes
[07:50] <dooglus> nikkun: I've never seen a package have dependencies which didn't exist in a final ubuntu release before.
[07:51] <nikkun> dooglus: is there a specific place i shoudl report this then
[07:51] <Escobar> Is it possible to partition later if i ever decide to resize?
[07:51] <Escobar> to change
[07:51] <InnerFIRE> where can i find instructions for networking my linux machine with a windows machine? its a wireless connection
[07:52] <hollowman8904> how come my sudo password doesn't work for su
[07:52] <Flannel> hollowman8904: because that's not how su works.
[07:52] <shane_> hello,everyone. i dont know why my network response so slowly
[07:52] <q_a_z_steve> !samba > InnerFIRE
[07:53] <hollowman8904> well i have a bunch of commands that require root privlages and dont want to type sudo everytime
[07:53] <nikkun> hollowman8904: i believe sudo -su will get you to it
[07:53] <Flannel> hollowman8904: sudo -i
[07:53] <usama> hi
[07:53] <hollowman8904> thanks
[07:53] <InnerFIRE> in installed samba.. is there a gui for it?
[07:53] <q_a_z_steve> no need.

[07:54] <killaz> good morning
[07:55] <allnickstaken> I take it I must have to restart linux before my changes in sources.list take place?
[07:55] <rixth> I have a grpahics question. Can xorg put out WUXGA (1920x1200)? Also, what is the physical screen size of a 24" Wide?
[07:55] <Flannel> usama: ajax is javascript, basically.  javascript that updates the html.  this isn't the place for this sort of question however, #ubuntu-offtopic would be more appropriate
[07:55] <dooglus> nikkun: if the build fails, try installing 'libsnmp9-dev'
[07:55] <elverion> how can i use emerge instead of apt-get?
[07:55] <Flannel> allnickstaken: no.  just sudo apt-get update
[07:55] <killaz> how can I connect to a shared folder via SMB on my  ubuntu desktop?
[07:55] <dooglus> nikkun: I reported it already: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/superkaramba/+bug/50747
[07:55] <tritium> elverion: ubuntu doesn't use emerge
[07:55] <Flannel> elverion: use a different distro
[07:55] <nikkun> dooglus: it built fine
[07:55] <allnickstaken> thanks
[07:56] <shane_> is there any one can help me
[07:56] <elverion> didn't think it'd go too well.

[07:58] <babo> babo
[07:58] <killaz> Flannel, Yes, I have shared some folder on another server and on my win box I see the shared folder....
[07:58] <dooglus> nikkun: "apt-get build-dep" is a useful one to know.  saves a lot of hunting.
[07:58] <Flannel> killaz: right, did you read that page?  it tells you all about these problems
[07:58] <killaz> only on this ubuntu desktop I can't see the shared folder...
[07:59] <killaz> !samba
[07:59] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[07:59] <dooglus> nikkun: and like I said, this is the first time I've ever seen it fail...  beginner's luck I guess?
[07:59] <DemonHeadx> steve: think you can help me?
[07:59] <shane_> i got network problem, could any one help me???
[07:59] <q_a_z_steve> DemonHeadx: are we dealing with A B G N Mimo, tinfoil? what?
[07:59] <ron_> is there a fix for the grey X server startup screen yet ... i've only seen this in older debian based distro's
[07:59] <nikkun> dooglus: its my luck that is all i know since everytime i do somethign that should be simple i find some crazy problem
[07:59] <KenSentMe> shane_: just ask your question
[07:59] <Flannel> killaz: hmm, that's a different page than what it used to be, probably same info though.
[07:59] <ron_> i think it's font related
[07:59] <shane_> usually i get apt-get sucessfully only after ping the target address which in the source.list, how come???
[08:00] <dooglus> nikkun: there are too many problems still - pretty much everywhere you look there's a new one :)
[08:00] <DemonHeadx> steve: did you get that PM?
[08:00] <nikkun> dooglus: ive noticed
[08:00] <shane_> i mean, if i dont use 'ping', it response very slow,and time out finally
[08:01] <tam> hi
[08:01] <shane_> and all the operation just in the terminal...
[08:01] <killaz> Flannel: that page tells me how to make a shared folder.... I want to mount a shared folder on another page...
[08:01] <DemonHeadx> steve: this is my exact card WPc54GS v1.1 Wireless-G and i am inserting it onto the side of my laptop
[08:01] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> can someone tell me how to install the swiftfox?
[08:01] <killaz> on another server*
[08:01] <q_a_z_steve> DemonHeadx: tell me all about your card in channel.

[08:02] <Laily> how to extract this file from ubuntu? --> avast4workstation-1.0.5.tar.gz
[08:02] <shane_> i thought it's my home networking caused, coz i don't meet the same problem after i change the place.
[08:03] <avis> Laily, tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz
[08:03] <shane_> there should be something wrong with my router, but i dont know how to solve it
[08:03] <killaz> Flannel: my problem is I cant see/find the workgroup..
[08:03] <dooglus> Laily: "tar xf avast4workstation-1.0.5.tar.gz"
[08:03] <shane_> is anyone with me???
[08:04] <Laily> i'm new in linux.
[08:04] <dooglus> shane_: I hear you, but I don't know what the problem could be
[08:04] <Laily> i wanna to try this program
[08:04] <shane_> oh...
[08:04] <allnickstaken> sorry I'm asking so many questions, but doing searches about this gnome-ppp thing I finally was able to get I noticed it said it made the connection slow. Slow as compared to what I don't know? Anyway, why wouldn't the system/admin/networking thing be able to detect my modem when it works fine with wvdial?
[08:04] <DemonHeadx> q_a_z_steve: think you can help?
[08:04] <dooglus> Laily: you found the 'terminal' icon yet?  it's in the applications menu somewhere
[08:05] <JW> Hi
[08:05] <q_a_z_steve> DemonHeadx: Are you using Dapper? Live?
[08:05] <Laily> ok
[08:06] <Laily> i alreay open the konsole
[08:06] <DemonHeadx> no
[08:06] <dooglus> "ls" lists files.  do you see your .tar.gz file?
[08:06] <DemonHeadx> I install Dapper
[08:06] <Laily> nope.
[08:07] <dooglus> Laily: is it on your desktop?
[08:07] <JW> I have a problem with 6.06   dmesg says syslog is filling with "skge hardware error status(0x400)" messages
[08:07] <Laily> ok. now i see it

[08:07] <Thor> glad i installed that firewall
[08:07] <DemonHeadx> q_a_z_steve: no i installed dapper.
[08:08] <dooglus> Laily: then "tar xf whateveritwascalled.tar.gz" to extract it
[08:08] <q_a_z_steve> ANYONE who knows better please feel free to correct me but DemonHeadx needs to use ndiswrapper. And good luck.

[08:08] <bytewalker> guys ok im a noob whats a good p2p program for loonix
[08:08] <q_a_z_steve> uh oh, that's more general than I was hoping for.
[08:09] <dooglus> bytewalker: azureus
[08:09] <Laily> i already did
[08:09] <hollowman8904> how can i convert a wma file to mp3?

[08:09] <Thor> whats the best ubuntu firewall app?
[08:09] <bytewalker> is azureus a real p2p program or just a crappy BT client?
[08:10] <q_a_z_steve> I never knew the FireFrog was on *nix
[08:10] <cwillu> Thor: are you sure you need one?
[08:10] <dooglus> bytewalker: it's a real bt client
[08:10] <dooglus> bytewalker: you think bt isn't p2p?
[08:10] <kevinz> hello. i am trying to compile kernel and the wiki tells me it is better to use git. But i just don't know why using the source packages is worse than using git?
[08:10] <q_a_z_steve> It's beefed up.
[08:10] <lightstar> Thor, iptables..to configure it use firestarter
[08:10] <cwillu> Thor: Windows needs one because you can't turn off certain services from listening on all connected networks, which isn't the case with linux
[08:10] <bytewalker> a BT client cant find the actual songs i want to download
[08:10] <bytewalker> it just d/ls them?
[08:10] <dooglus> bytewalker: yes.
[08:11] <cwillu> Thor: whereas you'd typically only need one on linux unless it's acting as a router or bridge, etc, such that it's actually protecting a network behind it
[08:12] <Laily> should i install any anti virus in my ubuntu? example like clamav or avast?
[08:12] <JW> Why does dmesg report "skge hardware error status (0X400)"?
[08:12] <gavagai> Laily, no
[08:12] <babo> Is there anyway to have an alarm set on my computer that can be activated by a web application via my browser ? ... Basically I just want my web app to remind me when a certain time arrives ...
[08:13] <Laily> i'm using a laptop pentium 3. yesterday i purchase a pcmia wifi card ( Aztech ). is it auto detect or should i configure?
[08:13] <cwillu> Laily: re antivirus: we're still in the early enough days that it's not really essential, but it won't be like that forever
[08:14] <Laily> thanks cwillu. i agreed with you.

[08:22] <bulltitan> hi
[08:23] <bulltitan> if i have to buy one what will you say? cedega or winex? and what winex really does?
[08:23] <InnerFIRE> why does configuring everything in linux always have to be 20 times harder.. lol
[08:23] <InnerFIRE> did u say i could configure everything from swat?
[08:24] <tin_nqn> I've downloaded the source of subtitle editor, wich is a gtk2 soft, but I can't install it because LIBGSTREAMER >= 0.10
[08:25] <bulltitan> is winex like cedega for directx games?
[08:25] <tin_nqn> and breezy has until 0.8
[08:25] <solid_liq> anyone know how to set the sizes of columns in an html table?
[08:25] <killaz> InnerFIRE: well I have to say I have configure samba on my server without any problem.. but configuring samba for my desktop..... gives me a headache
[08:25] <dooglus> cedega is a commercial winex
[08:25] <bulltitan> i see
[08:25] <bulltitan> but better you say or even?
[08:25] <q_a_z_steve> solid_liq: use %
[08:26] <killaz> InnerFIRE: and if configuring aint 10x times harder it shouldnt carry the name linux.... right!?
[08:26] <InnerFIRE> you have a point
[08:26] <tin_nqn> solid_liq with width parameter in each td like this:  <td width="XX">
[08:26] <q_a_z_steve> knoppix had sambastart on my desktop in a snap.
[08:26] <allnickstaken> doing searches about this gnome-ppp thing I finally was able to get I noticed it said it made the connection slow. Slow as compared to what I don't know? Anyway, why wouldn't the system/admin/networking thing be able to detect my modem when it works fine with wvdial?  And is there a way to fix this?
[08:26] <solid_liq> tin_nqn: cool, thanks!
[08:26] <bulltitan> i know this question might look dumb but if i have to spend some bucks i need to know where am i putting the money
[08:27] <killaz> InnerFIRE: what have you done so far... configuring the samba server>?
[08:27] <dooglus> bulltitan: cedega's supposed to be pretty good from what I've heard.  I've not tried it though.
[08:27] <q_a_z_steve> InnerFIRE: which version of windows are you dealing with?
[08:27] <bulltitan> thanks dooglus i'll give it a try then after visiting their site
[08:27] <InnerFIRE> ive installed samba and now im looking at the smb.conf file..
[08:28] <InnerFIRE> and its windows xp
[08:28] <InnerFIRE> i just setup  my neighbor with wifi
[08:28] <InnerFIRE> she wants to be able to use my printer
[08:28] <InnerFIRE> extra storage too
[08:28] <InnerFIRE> is samba going to act funny with the wireless router?
[08:29] <JW> Where should I ask "skpe hardware error ..." questions?
[08:30] <InnerFIRE> i thought swat would allow me to configure it much quicker..
[08:30] <allnickstaken> it's a shame they don't make mirc for linux
[08:30] <dooglus> JW: I don't even know where you should ask 'Where should I ask "skpe hardware error ..." questions?' questions
[08:30] <InnerFIRE> when i type swat in the terminal nothing happens
[08:30] <q_a_z_steve> shouldn't matter, especially if your mappings are host rather than IP, I believe.
[08:30] <q_a_z_steve> man swat

[08:31] <q_a_z_steve> okay well that works.
[08:31] <q_a_z_steve> http://swat/ ???
[08:31] <InnerFIRE> hrm maybe holdon
[08:31] <JW> the "skpe hardware error " messages started when I insalled Ubuntu 6.06
[08:33] <InnerFIRE> lol.. i typed that and got a webpage with a movie called swat

[08:37] <r3nd3r> KenSentMe, where would apt-get look for the build-essential package ?
[08:37] <realcoolguy> longkerdandy you'll need to specify a font in the options... I think the font package provides you some to choose from

[08:41] <q_a_z_steve> I've not done that yet.
[08:41] <jenda> how can I change the gnome menu title color (Black doesn't look too good on a transparent panel and the default wallpaper)
[08:42] <r3nd3r> can i download build-essential from windows and install it manually in ubuntu ?
[08:43] <pitti> r3nd3r: it should be on the CD
[08:43] <pitti> r3nd3r: and sure, you can download .deb files and install them in nautilus (it will call gdebi)
[08:43] <DragonRift> guess what
[08:43] <bimberi_> the Desktop CD?
[08:43] <DragonRift> my laptop had windows which said it had 128 mb ram
[08:43] <DragonRift> installed ubuntu
[08:44] <longkerdandy> realcoolguy, well, the error still popup, but I can see the movie with .sub files
[08:44] <DragonRift> it says it has 512 mb ram

[08:44] <q_a_z_steve> Is there a master list of packages available on each CD/DVD ?

[08:46] <realcoolguy> longkerdandy you picked a font (and gave mplayer a path to it?) .. man it's been forever since I had to set that thing up... anyone remember how to get subs working perfectly on mplayer?
[08:46] <q_a_z_steve> r3nd3r I can tell you that build-essential is on that list.
[08:46] <q_a_z_steve> MyNameIsNotBob: oh suck, why!?

[08:47] <longkerdandy> realcoolguy, yep from perfermance->font tab
[08:47] <MyNameIsNotBob> q_a_z_steve, in breezy it was plug and play, it doesn't seem to connect to my network at all under dapper
[08:47] <realcoolguy> WJames|lappy what wireless card are you using?

[08:50] <WJames|lappy> pcmcia
[08:50] <realcoolguy> wait, can't you just read the model of it then?
[08:50] <bytewalker> how can i tell which module a device (ie eth0) is trying to use?

[08:51] <WJames|lappy> Zonet
[08:52] <realcoolguy> lol, what a funny name... sorry... ummm
[08:52] <allnickstaken> i'm not finding torsmo in synaptic package manager
[08:52] <q_a_z_steve> or for windows http://www.coolmon.org/
[08:53] <q_a_z_steve> allnickstaken: I don't think it's debian, but it's available somewhere, hang on.
[08:53] <WJames|lappy> yeh,  the store is not that far away,  and it was 30 dollers.   if it dont work..  i can just return it,  and get something thats dlink or linksys ..large brands
[08:54] <jenda> How do you alter themes in Ubuntu? (need to change a few font colors)

[08:54] <q_a_z_steve> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=108594
[08:54] <allnickstaken> thanks
[08:54] <jmibanez> any clue how to fix this?
[08:54] <comcaholic> hi all...
[08:54] <gdb> jenda: System -> Preferences -> Themes
[08:54] <jmibanez> or at least what the relevant bug report is?
[08:54] <jenda> gdb: nope...
[08:54] <gdb> jenda: If that's what you're looking for, anyway.
[08:54] <realcoolguy> wow there's like nothing on the internet WJames|lappy with anyone specifically discussing that card and linux...
[08:55] <q_a_z_steve> how do I make a standard /quit message?
[08:55] <q_a_z_steve> or maybe a random one?
[08:56] <WJames|lappy> q_a_z_steve,  xchat?
[08:56] <q_a_z_steve> chatzilla
[08:56] <bjron> anyone here know if I can change the behavior of nautilus so that middle click = double click
[08:57] <WJames|lappy> ah firefox,   um..   somewere in the options
[08:57] <bjron> or rather, so I can middle click once on  folder and open it (while right click still selects)
[08:57] <q_a_z_steve> about::config ? there's not much in chatzilla
[08:57] <jenda> gdb: but thanks..
[08:57] <WJames|lappy> q_a_z_steve,  go to tools>exteaions>chatzilla>options??
[08:58] <WJames|lappy> realcoolguy,  soo..   is there any wireless tools i could try?
[08:58] <allnickstaken> so uhh, how do you end task a program when it hangs on you in gnome/linux, whatever ;P
[08:58] <q_a_z_steve> same thing as the chatzilla menu up top here...
[08:58] <kbrosnan> q_a_z_steve, if you dont find anything irc://irc.mozilla.org/chatzilla - though it may be quite in there right now
[08:59] <realcoolguy> WJames|lappy you could try ndiswrapper (which is a big pain but might work) assuming you can get the windows driver file...
[08:59] <jmi[mon] > anyone?
[08:59] <WJames|lappy> hmm
[09:02] <Gibs0n31> whats the command to run a shell script?
[09:02] <Gibs0n31> sh *file* ?
[09:02] <oni-dracula> yes, Gibs0n31
[09:02] <realcoolguy> hey WJame|lappy the card you have uses the Atheros chipset
[09:03] <timboteam> Is there still no one here that knows how to configure wireless on ubuntu?
[09:03] <Gibs0n31> well i have a shell script that all it does is move to a my music folder but it doesnt run
[09:03] <Gibs0n31> do i have to s\
[09:04] <Tonren> timboteam, look up ndiswrapper on the wiki
[09:04] <Tonren> Gibs0n31: What error does it give you?
[09:04] <mngrif> ubuntu's wiki is downright amazing
[09:04] <realcoolguy> WJames|lappy - to get your card working get the "madwifi" drivers installed http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi/
[09:04] <Gibs0n31> none
[09:04] <Gibs0n31> it just doesnt change to the directory
[09:04] <Tonren> Gibs0n31: Have you done chmod u+x myscript.sh?
[09:04] <Gibs0n31> the script is only cd /home/music/
[09:05] <mngrif> how's this for weird, i went from gentoo to ubuntu
[09:05] <Gibs0n31> yes
[09:05] <runes> a little humour for unbuntu people LAMP (linux apache Mysql PHP) windows counterpart=  WIMP (windows Internet Information Services PHP)
[09:05] <Hekta> haha
[09:05] <WJames|lappy> ok, i will try that ,
[09:05] <realcoolguy> mngrif i don't blame you... waiting for things to emerge... I don't know.... it's a little like rebuilding your toilet every time you want to use it... just annoying waste of time
[09:06] <Tonren> Gibs0n31: weird... I get the same behavior on my box
[09:06] <runes> at 1500 dollars YOU too can have the latest WIMP server
[09:06] <Panzerboy_> morning
[09:06] <runes> at 0$ and with great support you have LAMP
[09:06] <Gibs0n31> just  a second ago it gave me no such file or directory
[09:07] <Gibs0n31> the only thin gin the file is "cd  /home/gibson/music"
[09:07] <Tonren> Gibs0n31: Scripts execute as child processes; so they don't run as "you"
[09:07] <mngrif> realcoolguy,  no, i run old hardware, so i appreciate the ability to fine tune the compiler options (I riced like whoa with gentoo), but more than anything, i just don't want to have to spend a signifigant portion of my time adminstering my computer. i want to be able to hash a command in and have whatever it is that needs to be done, *done*. no messing with nonexistent .desktop's or anything like that. i want X to work out of the box on my video card.... th
[09:07] <WJames|lappy> hah mngrif  i came from gentoo too..
[09:07] <Gibs0n31> do i need to save it to a specific folder?
[09:07] <kevinz> hello, about building kernel. The wiki says i will see "debian/config/i386/" for some config files, but i didn't with the linux-source package. what can i do
[09:08] <Tonren> Gibs0n31: The problem is that the script is changing dirs for ITSELF, but not you.  it runs as a different user
[09:08] <gdb> mngrif: You mean you want to use a computer for what it's intended for, not just for the sake of using a computer. ;)
[09:08] <mngrif> gdb,  well said.
[09:08] <Gibs0n31> how do i get it to run for me?
[09:09] <mejobloggs> can someone suggest a good partition setup for installing ubuntu ?
[09:09] <realcoolguy> gdb be nice... he'll probably reflexively be typing emerge instead of apt-get for the next few weeks... there should be some kind of rehab program for gentoo users
[09:09] <mngrif> I've been using Linux(BSD?) for over 10 years now, I'm well aware of how to administer a box... I just want to be able to *use* the thing!
[09:09] <mejobloggs> My auto partition thing seems to just hang, so i will have to try manually
[09:09] <Tonren> mejobloggs, I have 512MB swap, and then 2GB for / and a separate 10GB for /home
[09:09] <gdb> mejobloggs: / and swap :)  Depends, really, on what you're looking to do with the machine.
[09:09] <gdb> realcoolguy: hehe
[09:09] <mngrif> realcoolguy,  I came to gentoo from debian, ubuntu is just a rebadged debian with higher standards.
[09:10] <Tonren> Gibs0n31: Good question.  Google may be your best friend, because I don't know offhand.
[09:10] <Libra102> hello..
[09:10] <charle97> hi
[09:11] <dooglus> Gibs0n31: you're better off adding a line to your ~/.bashrc saying:  alias music='cd ~/Documents/Music'     or similar
[09:11] <Tonren> Gibs0n31: You can try sourcing it instead of executing it.
[09:11] <burntsigil> God, I feel like a moron.
[09:11] <mngrif> my home network currently consists of ubuntu, gentoo, and FBSD.. it's not that big of a deal to hash in apt-get instead of pkg_add or emerge. infact, my gentoo box doesn't get stuff added to it all that often
[09:11] <Hekta> Hey Libra
[09:11] <ttongfly_>      nice to meet you
[09:11] <hangfire> hello Libra102, I see your in C# also
[09:11] <Tonren> Gibs0n31: dooglus had a good idea just then.
[09:11] <gdb> Slackware from '94 to '96, Red Hat from '96 to '97, NetBSD from '97 to '99, Red Hat and Fedora until a couple of weeks ago, and now Ubuntu.
[09:11] <burntsigil> I've been sitting in here for several days thinking nobody was saying anything.  Turns out somehow Xchat cleared out it's settings for the "channel message" text event
[09:11] <mngrif> gdb,  RHL was the stuff back in '96 :)
[09:11] <Libra102> oh.. hangfire hello.. :-)
[09:11] <hangfire> hey Libra
[09:11] <Gibs0n31> alright thanks dooglus an Tonren
[09:12] <Hekta> burntsigil,  lol :)
[09:12] <jenda> Where can I find the color codes used in .xml configuration files? (gnome theme - eg. #ffffff is black)
[09:12] <gdb> mngrif: I went to NetBSD for no reason other than the crappy transition from libc to glibc that *every* Linux distribution had to go through.  But I ended up coming back. :)
[09:12] <Tonren> jenda: You mean, you want to know what those #xxxxxx numbers translate to as colors?
[09:12] <realcoolguy> mngrif well just a little symlinking ... so when you do type  emerge it'll just switch it to apt-get... I wonder if you could fool a gentoo user into thinking he's using gentoo...
[09:12] <burntsigil> The only things that would show up was when someone said something that included my nick.
[09:12] <jenda> Tonren: actually, I'm just looking for what white is.
[09:12] <mngrif> jenda,  google "color map" or "color picker", kde has one under the graphics menu. also the GIMP has it builtin, just doubleclick the fore/background color in the toolbox
[09:12] <Tonren> jenda: White should be #FFFFFF.
[09:13] <dooglus> jenda: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colors.asp
[09:13] <jenda> Thanks.
[09:13] <mngrif> realcoolguy,  emerge -va app-p2p/rtorrent != apt-get install rtorrent
[09:13] <charle97> #000000 is black
[09:13] <dooglus> jenda: except if #ffffff is black, I'm wrong...
[09:13] <jenda> Just found out I still didn't find the right config file anyway...
[09:13] <gdb> jenda: Each pair of letters is a hex represenation of 0-255, and the pairs are Red, Blue, and Green from left to right.
[09:13] <mngrif> #FFFFFF = black
[09:13] <gdb> #ffffff is white, yes
[09:13] <Tonren> jenda: They're hexedecimal colors.  This is probably more info than you're interested in, but: It goes #RRGGBB.  RR is red, GG is green and BB is blue.  All 0's is black, all F's is white.  Hexedecimal goes from 0 to F, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F.
[09:13] <gdb> #ff0000 is pure red, etc
[09:14] <jenda> erh, I was prolly wrong - it doesn't have to be black :)
[09:14] <[hawk] > Hello, I did a stupid thing so I'll ask a stupid question: how do I find files that are not installed by any package? How do I know what packages create the skeleton directories in /usr/local?
[09:14] <mngrif> Tonren,  is that on a script/alias? :)
[09:14] <jenda> Tonren: thanks :) that explains it all 
[09:14] <Tonren> mngrif: haha, no, but carpal tunnel hasn't set in yet so I can still type pretty quick.
[09:14] <gdb> [hawk] : That's a very good question and I'm not sure there's a very good answer without digging through the postinst scripts of packages that may be associated with that.
[09:14] <hangfire> hawk, by files, you mean programs?
[09:15] <mngrif> [hawk] ,  probably some 'base' package owns the /usr/local/* tree
[09:15] <Tonren> jenda: WHOA!  was that a.. a japanese 'TSU' symbol?
[09:15] <mngrif> Tonren,  lucky you
[09:15] <Hekta> Hey Tonren that's good info
[09:15] <Tonren> mngrif: Hekta: I'll have to turn it into a little alias/script.  XD
[09:15] <jenda> Now, point two... any idea where the config file that sets the gnome panel fonts could be?
[09:15] <gdb> [hawk] : But you're likely to get some information with dpkg -S /usr/local
[09:15] <Hekta> I never new the colours went that way, I just new what Black & white were :)
[09:15] <jenda> Tonren: yuppers 
[09:15] <mejobloggs> If im going to install windows and linux, what things will happen if I install windows after I install linux?
[09:15] <Tonren> jenda: You can just right click on a panel to changes its colors.
[09:15] <mngrif> jenda,  i like that, does it have any meaning?
[09:15] <jenda> Tonren: font colors...
[09:15] <[hawk] > gdb: dpkg -S /usr/local returns blank!
[09:16] <Tonren> jenda: Haha, awesome.  I don't think I have japanese language input enabled
[09:16] <gdb> mejobloggs: Nothing will happen other than GRUB will be removed and replaced with the Windows boot loader.  You can repair it using the Live CD.
[09:16] <Tonren> jenda: Ooooh, sorry.
[09:16] <jenda> mngrif: it prolly does, but for me, it's a smiley 
[09:16] <mejobloggs> gdb, ah, just what i want to hear, thanks!
[09:16] <mngrif> jenda,  ur s0 l33t :P
[09:16] <jenda> Tonren: it's unicode. multibit incoding rulez ;)
[09:16] <mngrif> Tonren,  does that have any meaning?
[09:17] <mngrif> aside from being an utterance?
[09:17] <Tonren> mngrif: Wait, does what have any meaning other than utterance?  'TSU'?
[09:17] <Tonren> jenda: How do you input unicode into IRC?
[09:17] <mngrif> Tonren,  yes, 'TSU'.
[09:17] <gdb> [hawk] : Well, base-files creates /var/local but I'm not sure if it creates /usr/local as well.
[09:17] <Tonren> mngrif: It tends to be used in combination with other characters, to change their pronunciation.
[09:18] <mngrif> Tonren,  so it's just an utterance
[09:18] <jenda> Tonren: in Gaim, I'm not sure.. .but /charset UTF-8 is worth a try.
[09:18] <gdb> mejobloggs: Yes, just be sure that you leave your Linux partition alone in the Windows installer.
[09:18] <Tonren> mngrif: Yeah.  I wasn't sure what you meant by utterance.
[09:18] <Tonren> jenda: No such command, unfortunately.
[09:18] <gdb> mejobloggs: There's no real detriment to installing Windows last other than inconvenience.
[09:18] <Chousuke>  alone wouldn
[09:18] <Chousuke> wouldn't make a very good tattoo :p
[09:18] <[rick] > ?
[09:18] <mngrif> Tonren,  utterance in the vocabular sense... nothing more than a sound you make, like the letter "c" and it's associated symbol means nothing more than the sound it makes
[09:19] <mejobloggs> gdb, i dont understand what you said about leaving the linux part alone
[09:19] <[hawk] > gdb, mngrif: The most importan part of my question was: how do I know which files  (e.g. under /usr/ ) are owned by any package?
[09:19] <Tonren> mngrif: Ahh.  Good to know
[09:19] <Tonren> jenda: What client do you use?
[09:19] <jenda> Tonren: then use xchat :) But looking in the account settings is worth a try. If you have ICQ in gaim, I know you can change the incoding.
[09:19] <jenda> Tonren: you can do /ctcp <nick> version to find out.
[09:19] <gdb> mejobloggs: The very first part of the Windows installer is a text mode partitioner.  There will be allocated space displayed.  Do not delete that allocated space and give it to Windows.  That's your Linux partition(s).
[09:19] <[hawk] > dpkg -S /usr/local
[09:19] <[hawk] > eclipse-platform: /usr/local
[09:19] <mngrif> [hawk] ,  if it was gentoo, i'd be all over that question. since this is debain-enough, try messing around with dpkg. debian has a great dpkg primer that you should google for
[09:20] <realcoolguy> This is kinda a random general question, but if I had to do an 'interview' involving Linux, would anyone (not anytime soon) be willing to volunteer?  (just seeing if people are willing)
[09:20] <iiiears> mejobloggs: Heck, Grab KQEMU or VMWare and run windows in a virtual machine. - if it picks up an internet virus delete the disk image and mount another one. -lol
[09:20] <mejobloggs> gdb, ah, right, thanks
[09:20] <Chousuke> I hate the windows installer.
[09:20] <jenda> so... no idea where the panel fonts are hidden?
[09:20] <mngrif> realcoolguy,  define "interview"
[09:20] <mejobloggs> how big for the swap partition?
[09:20] <Chousuke> if you make changes to the partition scheme, the changes apply immediately
[09:20] <Tonren> jenda: Tricky.  I tried looking at your info but it didn't say anything.
[09:20] <gdb> [hawk] : Yes, that doesn't return anything for me, either.  I suspect the tree is created in a psotinst script for some package (like, say, base-files) but I don't know how to go about finding which other than downloading packages one by one and examining that script in each one.
[09:20] <realcoolguy> mngrif just a short Q+A session.. 5 minutes tops
[09:20] <iiiears> Ubuntu is great. :)
[09:20] <jenda> Tonren: it didn't? I use xchat
[09:21] <mngrif> realcoolguy,  phone or internet?
[09:21] <[rick] > chat or irssi
[09:21] <realcoolguy> mngrif doesn't matter
[09:21] <gdb> mngrif: I'd have to agree. :)
[09:21] <[rick] > xchat
[09:21] <Chousuke> I lost some data because of that behaviour once :(
[09:21] <mejobloggs> 1gb swap partition fine?
[09:21] <[rick] > yes
[09:21] <mngrif> realcoolguy,  and lastly, for what company or is this for a personal/academic research project?
[09:21] <[hawk] > mngrif: :-( I already read. I was hoping in some super smart undocumented way of doing this.
[09:21] <realcoolguy> academic research
[09:22] <iiiears> Chousuke: Dapper's install is much better than it was.
[09:22] <Chousuke> I was re-installing windows, and after I had done the partition changes and was about to proceed installing, I was told that there are some files I should save.
[09:22] <[hawk] > I'll ask on #ubuntu-devel
[09:22] <Chousuke> well, too late :P
[09:22] <mngrif> [hawk] ,  you should be able to query dpkg or the like as to who owns a file. a directory shouldn't be treated specialy by the utility that you use, regardless of what it is
[09:22] <Chousuke> at least Dapper's has an "are you really sure about these changes?" confirmation dialog :p
[09:22] <tono> slovensko
[09:22] <burntsigil> Lately I was trying to back up one of my DVDs with k9copy.  About 75% through, it stops, giving me some dvdauthor error.  Something like "Error reading from pipe.  File not found."  Anyone know what that might be?
[09:22] <mngrif> realcoolguy,  sure, add me to your /notify and /query anytime i'm on
[09:22] <tono> cawte
[09:23] <Tonren> jenda: How does xchat compare to konversation?
[09:23] <tin_nqn> people, I need run mplayer and I get and error: Player interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode_audio
[09:23] <Chousuke> tono: English only
[09:23] <gdb> mngrif: Right, [hawk]  is saying that dpkg has no record of what created /usr/local
[09:23] <Chousuke> hmm
[09:23] <Chousuke> !sk
[09:23] <ubotu> I know nothing about sk
[09:23] <tono> sk
[09:23] <realcoolguy> mngrif thanks-
[09:23] <Chousuke> :/
[09:23] <mngrif> realcoolguy,  aint no thang
[09:23] <mejobloggs> what is this 'primary partition' business? I want 3 paritions. 1) win  2)swap  3) linux.  Do i just put them all as primary?
[09:23] <mngrif> gdb,  must've missed that
[09:23] <Kaja> mejobloggs, yes =p
[09:23] <mngrif> mejobloggs,  yeah, you're fine doing that
[09:24] <Tonren> hey, has anyone had any trouble running 32bit on a 64bit arch machine?
[09:24] <jenda> Tonren: no idea, but xchat is VERY good. IRC only.
[09:24] <[hawk] > mngrif: asking for every file under / will take ages... and it will not tell me if the file is modified or not!
[09:24] <jenda> Tonren: or, if you're l33t, try irssi ;)
[09:24] <mngrif> mejobloggs,  there's an excellent partitioning HOWTO at tldp.org, if you'd like more information
[09:24] <mejobloggs> thanks
[09:24] <Tonren> jenda: That's the command line one, right?  I haven't been brave enough to try it
[09:24] <burntsigil> irssi isn't that hard to use.
[09:25] <kevinz> hi there. The wiki for building kernel really doesn't work for me https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild , where is linux-source-2.6.17? i just want to buiuld a 2.6.15, and how about config files? 2.6.15 package does not have those config files
[09:25] <mngrif> [hawk] ,  background and renice the process? let it go all night if that's what it takes. *shrug* just pipe it through grep and you'll have your answer shortly
[09:25] <tono> exit slovakia hh cafa
[09:25] <mngrif> burntsigil,  irssi is very easy to use, i'm using it now
[09:25] <burntsigil> so nobody has ever had that problem out of k9copy?
[09:25] <mngrif> although xchat is my IRC program of choice, hands down
[09:25] <[hawk] > mngrif: that is my last resort! tnx
[09:25] <iiiears> mngrif - a lot of great scripts too.
[09:26] <burntsigil> mngrif, Yeah.  I'm using xchat too.
[09:26] <Chousuke> I don't like X-chat :p
[09:26] <iiiears> xchat is easier.
[09:26] <mngrif> i do my own scripting in xchat, right now i'm in the middle of porting my xmms control script to function with amarok
[09:26] <burntsigil> When I ran IRC on my windows box, I used the win32 port of Xchat over mIRC.
[09:26] <mngrif> after that i'll release the script to the 'net
[09:26] <Tonren> Wow, seems like xchat takes the cake
[09:26] <mngrif> burntsigil,  well, mirc isn't open source
[09:26] <Tonren> Ugh... I can't believe I have to reinstall Ubuntu
[09:27] <burntsigil> Xchat uses tcl doesn't it?
[09:27] <iiiears> Windows and IRC? :X
[09:27] <mngrif> burntsigil,  it can
[09:27] <mrconstruction> how can i make printed fonts appear smaller?  they are way too big
[09:27] <mngrif> burntsigil,  there's also ruby bindings, which sounds great to me. right now my script is in perl
[09:27] <mngrif> burntsigil,  although i'd kill for php, since it's what i'm in the middle of learning now
[09:28] <mrconstruction> when i print out an email in evolution, the font is huge and i cant change it
[09:28] <burntsigil> I used to write scripts for mirc back in the day.  Though that doesn't count since mirc didn't use a real scripting language.
[09:28] <mngrif> mrconstruction,  apt-get install x11-gs-fonts
[09:28] <mngrif> mrconstruction,  might be called gs-fonts, i'm not sure to be honest
[09:28] <mrconstruction> that will fix it though?
[09:28] <mngrif> mrconstruction,  worth a shot
[09:29] <mngrif> mrconstruction,  all kinds of thigns need gs-fonts anyway
[09:29] <mrconstruction> good thanks
[09:29] <mngrif> at the least you can use them to theme with
[09:29] <burntsigil> It's baffling me that after scouring the net for days, I haven't found anyone else who's had this same problem with k9copy.
[09:29] <WJames|lappy> erm..
[09:29] <WJames|lappy> how do you copy files in the termal?
[09:29] <mngrif> burntsigil,  never heard of k9copy anyway
[09:29] <mngrif> WJames|lappy,  ... cp, perhaps?
[09:29] <WJames|lappy> hmm
[09:29] <WJames|lappy> cp i thought
[09:30] <WJames|lappy> will have to run a -h
[09:30] <burntsigil> mngrif, it's DVD backup software, kinda like DVD Shrink.
[09:30] <mngrif> WJames|lappy,  might i suggest googling for "linux introduction"? :)
[09:30] <WJames|lappy> i used to use linux
[09:30] <WJames|lappy> but after a year, i foret a bit
[09:30] <mngrif> burntsigil,  i don't mess with ripping dvd's, i draw the line at my audio collection
[09:30] <Hit3k> When I start the XGL session I get "Fatal Server Error: Could not create server lock file: /tmp/.X1-lock
[09:31] <mngrif> WJames|lappy,  never hurts to re-read some of that newbie stuffs, you might learn something new. god knows i still do after all these years
[09:31] <mngrif> Hit3k,  XGL isn't stable.
[09:31] <WJames|lappy> i know,
[09:31] <WJames|lappy> i will read the --help of cp
[09:31] <WJames|lappy> if that wont work
[09:31] <mngrif> Hit3k,  try rm /tmp/.X11-lock*
[09:31] <WJames|lappy> i will read
[09:31] <realcoolguy> burntsigil i found this really nice script (it's on my desktop) I don't remember what it's called, but it gave a really really easy way to convert videos (to whatever format you were interested in) dvd svcd vcd etc
[09:32] <mngrif> WJames|lappy,  man cp will do you good. man command, to find it's manual. man = your best friend :)
[09:32] <kazil> cwillu my friend i was lookin` for u :)
[09:32] <WJames|lappy> lol
[09:32] <Chousuke> I'm constantly tempted to try this open WLAN that reaches my room from somewhere.
[09:32] <iiiears> realcoolguy: Willing to pastebin it?
[09:32] <mngrif> realcoolguy,  lemme know when you find it out, i need a good DivX > VCD converter
[09:33] <realcoolguy> grrr *goes to desktop land*
[09:33] <iiiears> Uhoh. - lol
[09:33] <mngrif> Chousuke,  someone just got arrested for using someone else's open WLAN where I live, be careful!
[09:33] <Chousuke> It's wep protected though ;P
[09:33] <mngrif> realcoolguy,  ls ~/Desktop ?
[09:34] <Chousuke> mngrif: I wonder how they could find out who I am :D
[09:34] <Hit3k> mngrif now i get _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: .....SocketCreateListener() failed it says its already running
[09:34] <realcoolguy> too big of a PITA to get that thing started... mngrif if I interview you i'll be sure to give you that script
[09:34] <mngrif> Chousuke,  in this case it was obvious, they were a registered sex offender so they knocked at his door first. got lucky. he wasn't doing anything illegal over the network though, the owner of the WLAN called it in to the police instead of bothering to block the MAC
[09:35] <runes> Tonren yes I had problems with 64 bit running 32 bit apps
[09:35] <burntsigil> realcoolguy, what is it?
[09:35] <Hekta> mngrif, where do you live ?
[09:35] <mngrif> Hekta,  Kentucky, woohoo.
[09:35] <Hekta> phew, not near me :)
[09:35] <Hekta> I mean that in the nicest way, don't wanna get arrested for wardriving hehehe
[09:35] <mngrif> Hekta,  not close to anyone, so it seems. it's RARE i meet a fellow kentuckian online
[09:36] <realcoolguy> ok i lied mngrif burntsigil i think this is the thread i found it on http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=193754
[09:36] <mngrif> i'm in a technological black hole :\
[09:36] <mngrif> realcoolguy,  yarr.
[09:37] <iiiears> Nice script. - Thank You for the link.
[09:39] <fluxinator> just updated my bios and my screen resolution is trash 1024*768. I have the intel i915 card. could someone tell me how to repair this
[09:39] <kevinz> hello. are there any people who build kernel in ubuntu? do you see debian/config/i386/ directory in kernel source?
[09:39] <coopster> hrmm, anyone know if there's a way to get the livecd to use the video out on a 5200 nvidia?  I can't get support for the nvidia driver to work
[09:39] <e>  :(
[09:40] <iiiears> coopster - hm - maybe something on the mythtv site???
[09:40] <realcoolguy> coopster I remember seeing support for video out on a live cd ... knoppix maybe...
[09:40] <fluxinator> any help would be really appreciated
[09:40] <Lion> fe
[09:40] <Lion> sef
[09:40] <coopster> iiiears: well, I may have to hook a monitor up, i'm sure once i actually get it installed I can compile it in, but it wont work off the livecd
[09:41] <realcoolguy> coopster - it was for nvidia out... so it was exactly what you were looking for (i can't remember the distro, but i'm assuming knoppix)
[09:41] <coopster> realcoolguy: well, i dont really want to use knoppix, i just only have a tv hooked up to a computer and wanted to install on it
[09:41] <Ademan> is gnome-commander any better than nautilus?
[09:41] <Ademan> any reason to even try it out? is it just preference? or is one clearly better?
[09:41] <coopster> it works up until X starts, the video out is fine for console but just a black sreen with X
[09:41] <radone> is it possible (easily) in ubuntu/dapper to configure hibernate/suspend support?
[09:41] <coopster> Ademan: can only really tell by trying, i'm sure
[09:42] <chavo> Ademan, it's a two panel file manager
[09:42] <realcoolguy> coopster I had a painful experience with that once... used a tv converter box to change the vga to tv out..
[09:42] <iiiears> Would Xinerama do it??
[09:42] <chavo> if you like that style it's good
[09:42] <fluxinator> fuc***g fantastic
[09:42] <Tonren> runes: You have 32 bit Ubuntu installed on a 64 bit machine?  it hasn't been working right..?
[09:43] <coopster> iiiears: dunno, havent tried that route
[09:43] <iiiears> Everything is going to be huge and out of scale at TV resolutions.
[09:43] <fluxinator> how do I reconfigure x?
[09:43] <iiiears> at least initially.
[09:44] <coopster> iiiears: yeah, i have gentoo running on it now, wanted to switch to ubuntu on it.
[09:44] <coopster> suppose i'll just drag a monitor over and do it
[09:44] <runes> tonren no I had 64 bit on 64 bit 32 bit apps weren't working right
[09:44] <Ademan> whats D-Bus ?
[09:44] <Tonren> runes: oh.. i'm gonna do 32 on a 64
[09:44] <runes> tonren so after many a tweak I stil couldn't get plugins for firefox to work properly soudn was off etc
[09:45] <Tonren> same here
[09:45] <Tonren> it's not worth whatever advantages 64bit has right now
[09:45] <Tonren> nothing is supported in it
[09:45] <coopster> runes, tonren: fwiw, i use the 32 bit distro on my 64 bit chip, it was just more trouble than help
[09:45] <runes> tonren then I went to 32 bit os on 64 bit amd all working fine!
[09:45] <Tonren> coopster: That's what I"m doing
[09:45] <jenda> strange.. xchat just disappeared...
[09:45] <jenda> But I managed to change the font color :)
[09:46] <runes> coopster, and Tonren I prefer to wait until the developpers release the 64 bit plugins for the apps prior to install
[09:46] <Subvertir> How can I make startx work?
[09:46] <Subvertir> is X just not suid root?
[09:47] <Tonren> coopster: runes: I'm the exact same way.  I'm about to install 32bit and remove my 64bit.. it's not worth it
[09:47] <runes> Tonren, same experience here
[09:47] <WJames|lappy> how do you get out of man pages...
[09:47] <Tonren> WJames|lappy: q
[09:47] <WJames|lappy> thanks
[09:47] <coopster> runes: Tonren, I'm going to install a full 32bit chroot "one day some time in the future," that should be the best of both worlds
[09:48] <runes> Tonren, if it was a console server I'd say stick with 64 bit however if it's for gui (gnome and or KDE) then 32 bit
[09:48] <radone> please has anyone some experiences with hibernate/suspend in ubuntu?
[09:49] <coopster> radone: google had this - http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-75443.html

[09:50] <Ademan> anyone here running a vsftpd server?
[09:50] <babo> runes: what did you have to do exactly ? ... yes, I had 64 bit and got rid of it. I'm on 32 bit now.
[09:51] <fluxinator> this is ridiculous...

[09:53] <babo> Anyway, I'm wondering what I have to do to get the 32bit to work. I had it working a couple of months back on a different system. There seems to be conflicting advice on the net ...
[09:53] <Tonren> thanks, png
[09:53] <babo> runes: now it's running the first time in, but won't reopen. I guess skype isn't closing the OSS connection or something like that ...

[10:00] <babo> Anyone ... pls ?
[10:00] <ompaul> Za1, I would strongly suggest you get dapper, in a couple of months it will not be supported, the connection to the projector is to use the "screen output" on the laptop, you then use something like Function Key+F5 or 8 or 12 depending on model it has nothing to do with the operating system

[10:38] <KenSentMe> jenda: isn't there some gpg folder in your home?

[10:42] <SolarWolf> the red dot are dependencies
[10:42] <Bassetts> kazil: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[10:43] <polpak> kazil: they are dependancies.. Most of them you probably already have
[10:43] <kazil> bassetts: i know about that
[10:43] <polpak> kazil: if you just type sudo apt-get install totem-xine it will auto install all the dependancies you need
[10:43] <Bassetts> kazil: if you do as it says it will work
[10:43] <kazil> bassetts: it tells me almost nothing
[10:44] <kazil> polpak: to search my ubuntu for them files first, to see if i have them?

[10:44] <polpak> kazil: if you just type      sudo apt-get install totem-xine        it will check what you have, and get what you need
[10:44] <Bassetts> kazil: the wiki tells you how to do that

[11:02] <achandra> pc_butler: I have very "touchy" amd-64 laptop and it works great...
[11:02] <Intelligi> Is it just as easy to install with as the Live CD?
[11:02] <pc_butler> I need bluetooth gprs connection for cellphone
[11:02] <achandra> Intelligi: couldnt get easier...its awesome
[11:02] <P0ldy> Intelligi, I can't imagine it being so much different.  It's very easy
[11:03] <zack_> is there something similar to batch files i can make for unbuntu?
[11:03] <P0ldy> zack_, shell scripts

[11:09] <ubotu> I know nothing about <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0xb7323020>
[11:11] <achandra> DarkMageZ: not sure if its the cleanest way but Automatix has an option to choose it.
[11:12] <Bassetts> how do i log in to my ubuntu share from windows, i put in user and pass and it just pops up asking for it again
[11:12] <DarkMageZ> achandra, ah, i'll see if i can find the mantainer of automatrix and see where it is getting it from =D
[11:13] <achandra> Bassests: two ways... either install samba on the linux box and then look for the share....or use winscp
[11:13] <achandra> Bassets: if you use winscp..you will need open ssh server
[11:13] <Bassetts> achandra: its setup
[11:14] <Bassetts> achandra: i enter my user and pass in the windows maching for my ubuntu share, but it asks for it again
[11:14] <francesjan> achandra, thanks!!!!! i hope there's an easy way next time on gui... i tend to have memory lapse,
[11:15] <achandra> Bassets: winscp then...assuming you have the openssh server installed
[11:15] <achandra> Bassets: which way do you prefer?
[11:15] <achandra> Bassets: SInce you set up samba...its likely you did not set up the  smbuser.. or did you?
[11:16] <Bassetts> achandra: i dont know not tried either
[11:16] <Bassetts> achandra: erm, nop, i just did what someone told me to do
[11:16] <achandra> lol
[11:16] <metaj> is there any firewall built in ubuntu and how can i turn it on/olff?
[11:16] <achandra> okay
[11:17] <pppoe_dude> metaj, there is, it is called iptables
[11:17] <achandra> Bassets: lets get the openssh way working...is that cool? it will allow openssh to access your home directory..cool??
[11:17] <pppoe_dude> metaj, there is a nice gui type firewall frontend called firestarter
[11:17] <pppoe_dude> metaj, do 'sudo apt-get install firestarter'
[11:17] <achandra> Bassets: that was incorrect..sorry..that WINSCP to access your home directory on Linux...
[11:18] <KenSentMe> !firewall
[11:18] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line), firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing) or shorewall (web interface)

[11:19] <Bassetts> achandra: ill look on the wiki i have to dash out for  abit

[11:22] <FearMoth> I installed the 2.6.15-25-686 kernel in kubuntu dapper, and now I am getting an error when my ati fglrx driver loads: (EE) fglrx(0): Fail to initialize ASIC in kernel ... this only started when I started using the -686 kernel instead of the -386, anyone know what I can do to fix this?
[11:22] <iiiears> Python regex is giving him indegestion?
[11:22] <Amaranth> !ubotu
[11:22] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[11:22] <Amaranth> hmm
[11:22] <iiiears> I didn't make any calls.
[11:22] <Amaranth> iiiears: talk to Seveas
[11:23] <Za1> is there anyway i can upgrade my ubuntu  Hoary to (whatever the latest version is)?  I don't want to re-install everything from scratch.
[11:23] <mejobloggs> uh.. why do I get 'no acceptable C compiler found' ?
[11:23] <Steff_breezy> the howto says:At this stage you are presented with a screen where you can select which partition is your root partition (there is a list of the partitions on your hard drive, so you are required to know which partition number Ubuntu is on). This will be dev/discs/disc0/partX, where the X is a partition number." How do I find out, which "partX" my /dev/hda6/ is?
[11:23] <achandra> FearMoth: modules not loading correctly?? I wonder if you have to recompile it against the kernel to load the modules up... again..??
[11:23] <Amaranth> Za1: You'll have to upgrade to breezy, then upgrade to dapper.
[11:23] <iiiears> except i miss him. - typing URLS or asking new users to google for topics isn't much fun.
[11:23] <Amaranth> !upgrade
[11:23] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[11:23] <Amaranth> iiiears: ubotu is working fine
[11:23] <ompaul> iiiears, it should give reasonable answers to the old queries
[11:24] <Amaranth> iiiears: Unless you feed him a 400 character request for a factoid.
[11:24] <Subhuman> Zal read the ubotu bit ^
[11:24] <Za1> cool. awesome! thanks guys. I'll do that.
[11:24] <metaj> I there any one that knows wich ports aMSN uses to its webcam ?
[11:24] <Subhuman> metaj, the standard msn ones.
[11:24] <iiiears> Amaranth - Ah, Must of been a prankster feeding him a glutton sized factoid then. - sigh
[11:24] <Subhuman> metaj, which are on google.
[11:25] <FearMoth> achandra: they're the xorg-driver-fglrx drivers, i think they're proprietary.. if I apt-get removed them and then reinstalled them, would it install a version for the -686 kernel maybe?
[11:25] <Amaranth> iiiears: Only people who have editor status with the bot can add/edit factoids now, so that can't happen.
[11:25] <eth42> is there a new make-jpkg (java-package) for jdk 1.6-beta?
[11:26] <Amaranth> iiiears: If anyone else tries it notifies us who is doing it, where, and what they are trying to add.
[11:26] <achandra> metaj: not entirely sure on that but I literally installed the version from ati..then compiled it against my kernel.. ie the deb package was made for me..
[11:26] <iiiears> Amaranth - thats sad. - We can't trust users.
[11:26] <achandra> sorry that was intended for FearMoth
[11:26] <ActivitY> i have a small problem with a usb key, for some reason after i formatted it it says it's a 4gb usb, it's really only 1gb. Is there a way i can fix this?
[11:26] <Amaranth> iiiears: *shrug*
[11:26] <Z0l> hi
[11:26] <Z0l> anyone familiar with evolution?
[11:26] <Subhuman> ActivitY, re-format?
[11:26] <achandra> FearMoth: look at my message to metaj...i sent it to the wrong place..
[11:27] <ActivitY> tried it
[11:27] <ActivitY> several times
[11:27] <Z0l> i'd like to setup 2 pop accounts, with a different inbox, but i can't manage it, it mixes my e-mails
[11:27] <Subhuman> because itz the FAT table that corrupts it.
[11:27] <achandra> FearMoth: there is a manual install how to out there on the net .. too
[11:27] <Za1> i try installing fglrx and found out that i needed to upgrade now.  bugger huh?  thankx guys. you guys are always a excellent help.
[11:27] <ActivitY> ok, so my usb key will allways read 4gb now?
[11:27] <ogamiitto> why when i connect an external usb drive it's mounted as  read only? (Ubuntu dapper)
[11:27] <FearMoth> achandra: I think it's because linux-restricted-modules-686
[11:27] <Z0l> i could setup a filter for recipients, but couldn't i have the same "inbox,sent items,drafts" for the other account as well?
[11:27] <FearMoth> * because i need to install ""
[11:28] <achandra> FearMoth: could be... I had this damn issue on my new AMD-64 and did it by hand...let me see if can find that how to
[11:28] <ActivitY> so no one can tell me why after formatting my usb key in linux it reads 4gb instead of 1gb?
[11:29] <ActivitY> apart from the FAT corruption thing
[11:29] <ActivitY> is there a way to fix it, at all?
[11:29] <refnumzx> i have an rsync process that i started on a remote machine that does not have screen, from my linux box here i would like to see what rsync is doing, which files it is writing, etc, ps does not do this, i looked in /var/log as well and nothing about rsync tail *.log |grep rsync.  ideas?
[11:30] <achandra> Fearmoth: Method 2 worked for me --- http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Dapper_Installation_Guide
[11:31] <achandra> FearMoth: and oh yeah....make sure you do that in console mode... ie CTRL-ALT-F1
[11:31] <FearMoth> thank you, i'm going to reboot and see if these restricted modules fixes it, and if not i'll try that out
[11:31] <FearMoth> thanks again
[11:32] <achandra> cool
[11:32] <iiiears> refnumz - easy to start the command -v verbose. difficult to check on once it has started without  -v - good question.
[11:33] <odinriko> How do I disable power management?  Anytime anything like that comes on my network connection barfs.
[11:33] <anTiX> why is it when I try to remove gaim it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop which does not sound like what I want to do?
[11:34] <iiiears> anTix - It likely is just notifying you of packages to be modified. - It won't remove ubuntu desktop.
[11:35] <subvertir> Hey, sorry if this is a silly question, but does anyone know where I can find frglx packages for ubuntu?
[11:35] <mejobloggs> uh.. I am trying to compile somehting, and it says libcurl is required, but liburl is already installed
[11:35] <refnumzx> iiiears: -v would only report this to the system running the rsync, i think.. what i want to do is to take a look from the machine that that process is rsyncing too.
[11:36] <anTiX> iiiears: ok great! what I want to do is try out gaim2.0-beta3 (http://people.ubuntu.com/~seb128/deb) so I guess it's a good idea to uninstall the 1.5.0 first or?
[11:36] <achandra> ActivitY: not sure if it will help..but there is some really good info about issues etc...using man fdisk...
[11:36] <mattyv> anTix: ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage, it's safe to let it be removed, just remember to add it again if u upgrade to a newer release
[11:36] <iiiears> !ubotu tell subvertir about ati
[11:36] <ubotu> I know nothing about ubotu tell subvertir about ati
[11:36] <ActivitY> ok thanks
[11:36] <anTiX> mattyv: ok good to know!
[11:36] <iiiears> !tell subvertir about ati
[11:36] <ogamiitto> why when i connect an external usb drive it's mounted as read only? (Ubuntu dapper, tried with ext3 and reiserfs)
[11:40] <mattyv> anTix again :) i installed gaim2 beta3 without removing the packaged version, the original is listed in synaptic as gaim-data
[11:40] <spoown> hello all
[11:40] <mattyv> afterwards it kept complaining that there was a newer version but that wasnt true, so i locked the version in synaptic
[11:41] <anTiX> mattyv: I get a dependency problem as I don't have libmeanwhile1 ?!
[11:43] <Maggotin> Hello, how do I create a desktop shortcut to a folder?
[11:43] <mattyv> anTix: what version of ubuntu u using?
[11:43] <achandra> mattyv: kinda ran into that too...but I bypassed that with using Automatix and choosing it as well...and the scripts did  their job to get both the beta version as well as the data files it needed.. dont know if thats kind of cheating..but hell it works..
[11:43] <anTiX> mattyv: dapper
[11:45] <achandra> mattyv: yup beta 3 installed successfully...just checked it...
[11:46] <anTiX> what repository is beta3 in?
[11:46] <Maggotin> how do I create a desktop shortcut to a folder?
[11:47] <achandra> anTix: yeah...i couldnt find it either..until i used automatix..
[11:47] <rambo3> shortcut : nautilus "/folder/folder"
[11:47] <steel> i just installed ubuntu on my old compaq laptop, the install took a little while but it finished, i try to use firefox to connect to google and i have no connection or anyway to get information to the laptop through ethernet... how do i get it workin?
[11:47] <mejobloggs> im trying to isntall bzflag, but ubuntu only has 2.0.4. How can I get the latest version (2.0.8) installed on ubuntu?
[11:48] <brrrt> since upgrading to dapper from breezy i cant acces my usb drive anymore
[11:48] <brrrt> how can i access ma usb drive in dapper ?
[11:48] <mattyv> anTix: iirc i found a .deb in an ubuntuforums thread, still on breezy though so not sure about dependency probs
[11:48] <xophEr> Maggotin, or drag the folder to the desktop and hold ctrl+shift, it creates a link to the folder

[11:51] <DarkMageZ> mejobloggs, bzflag is available in the universe repository
[11:51] <ompaul> mejobloggs, in order to that that you need what are called the universe repos I will now get the bot to tell you about them you should have a message from ubotu shortly

[11:52] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more.
[11:52] <DarkMageZ> mejobloggs, you could ask the nice people in #ubuntu-motu to update it
[11:52] <babo> I can listen to sound, but I can't record any ... :-(
[11:52] <ompaul> mejobloggs, ^^ read that url from ubotu

[11:56] <ompaul> brrrt, it may be that no one else has that issue, I can see my usb keys no problem at all - if you are having problems then I suggest two things one is a reboot and two is try another slot
[11:56] <achandra> brrrt: I think remember using dmesg as a tool to check... when plugging and unplugging one...what did dmesg say?
[11:57] <steel> after ifdown i did ifup and it said after looking for DHCP: "no DHCPOFFER recieved. no working leases in persistant database- sleeping"
[11:57] <brrrt> achandra: dmesg says nothing when plugging-unplugging the drive :(

[12:06] <Zalo> what is the best swap partition size when I have 1gb of RAM?
[12:06] <steel> ideas?
[12:07] <jenda> my lappy can't hibernate or suspend under ubuntu :(
[12:07] <gdb> Zalo: Rule of thumb is 1-2x RAM for swap.  It really depends on what you're going to do with the machine.  You might not need any at all.  I'd not go with less than 1xRAM myself.
[12:08] <Zalo> ok, thanks :o)
[12:08] <gdb> I have 2GB in this machine and the installer set up a 6GB swap partition.  Not that it matter to me, the system disk is 250GB.
[12:08] <mejobloggs> how can I get Age of Empires 2 going in ubuntu ?
[12:08] <cwillu> zalo, gdb;  hibernate is dependant on swap being at least ram, right?
[12:09] <tomlikestorock> Is there any reason why I wouldn't want to install a 64 bit kernel?
[12:09] <gdb> I think it would be dependant on free swap = 1xRAM, so perhaps 2x RAM is best for a machine where you intend to suspend to disk.
[12:09] <Schalken> how come totem can't play .m3u files?
[12:09] <Frogzoo> tomlikestorock: only that 32bit seems to be more stable & has better app supporot
[12:10] <gdb> I would doubt, however, the the kernel dumps buffer to swap when suspending.
[12:10] <gdb> er that the
[12:10] <tomlikestorock> hm. I really want wireless on my laptop, and in order to do that I need acer_acpi loaded. It's 64 bit only. Acerhk isn't working, either.
[12:10] <cwillu> Zalo:  also, you can setup swap files (including having them created and removed automatically), so going too short isn't much of a problem
[12:10] <tomlikestorock> frogzoo:let's say I installed the 64 bit kernel. What if it messed up? How would I go about loading the 32 bit again?
[12:11] <iiiears> tomlikestorock: A few have mentioned problems with Flash and most apps being compiled for 32 bits. - some have used chroot as a workaround.
[12:11] <cwillu> so, is it just me, or does drag'n'drop feel laggy?
[12:11] <KenSentMe> mejobloggs: use cedega
[12:11] <KenSentMe> !tell mejobloggs about cedega
[12:11] <Schalken> tomlikestorock: or like I have, simply installed 32bit instead :D
[12:11] <iiiears> tomlikestorock: 32 bits seems easier.
[12:11] <steel> so.... rambo3... any help?
[12:12] <paulina> hello
[12:12] <iiiears> Welcome paulina.
[12:12] <achandra> gdb: agreed..that is common practice...there are sites out there...where some contest that systems with more swap than you need actually perform worse...
[12:12] <tomlikestorock> well, I can't get acer's internal wireless to work unless I install 64bit, it seems.
[12:12] <achandra> gdb: it can become a confusing affair.
[12:12] <mejobloggs> KenSentMe: uh.. any way i can do it free?
[12:12] <tomlikestorock> acer_acpi is only 64 bit :(
[12:12] <iiiears> gdb - google "linux swappiness" it's an eye opener.
[12:13] <KenSentMe> mejobloggs: you could try using wine, but i don't know if that works
[12:13] <IceDC571> I never thought wireless could be such a pain in the ass to set up still  :\
[12:13] <finalbeta> How do I set my wireless up to work @ 54Mb instaid of 11Mbit, it's working in B mode and it should be using G-mode

[12:14] <IceDC571> Is WEP really that bad stepping back from WPA?
[12:14] <finalbeta> yes
[12:14] <tomlikestorock> oh yes
[12:14] <iiiears> WINE is okay. - but directX and CD copy protections are better supported with Cedega.
[12:14] <KenSentMe> mejobloggs: it's the source of cedega, you need to compile it yourself
[12:14] <cwillu> iiiears: speaking as someone whose firefox likes taking >300mb ram :)
[12:14] <mejobloggs> KenSentMe: hard?

[12:15] <finalbeta> compiz is working almost stable after removing wobbly, any idea's how you can get normal video playback inside compiz?
[12:16] <finalbeta> I saw I demo from Novel, I guess the next version will play them ok.
[12:16] <iiiears> mejobloggs: It can be difficult if you are new. - Invest a little time in setting linux or spend that time setting up windows over and over again after each spyware/virus infection.
[12:16] <zOap> 87989
[12:16] <zOap> shit
[12:16] <mejobloggs> 87989 is wrong
[12:16] <mejobloggs> should be one less
[12:17] <zOap> hehe
[12:17] <Schalken> how come totem can't play .m3u files?
[12:17] <cwillu> achandra: although most of that is correct, some of that page is a bit off, or misleading for a typical desktop;  especially since most desktop users won't know what to do with such advice as "estimate how much ram you'll use"
[12:17] <zOap> you're right.. even though  it was in the wrong window..
[12:17] <mejobloggs> what??
[12:17] <mejobloggs> really?
[12:17] <tomlikestorock> so uh... how do I install the 64 bit kernel?
[12:17] <mejobloggs> heh, cool
[12:17] <mejobloggs> im a genius
[12:17] <zOap> mejobloggs, hehe
[12:18] <KenSentMe> mejobloggs: maybe you could also guess how you can run aoe2 on ubuntu ;)
[12:18] <iiiears> achandra: "top" gives needed info.
[12:18] <finalbeta> IceDC571: sure it can handle WPA2?
[12:18] <tomlikestorock> and, if i install the 64 bit kernel, does that mean I have to install my drivers all over again, or is that completely unrelated?
[12:18] <achandra> cwillu: agreed...but even for some pretty knowledgable individuals...itcan get hairy..its like trying to configure more than two drives in a system for redundancy and performance..a can of worms.,..lol :)
[12:18] <cwillu> achandra: see, that's what a typical desktop user shouldn't even think about think about :)
[12:19] <achandra> cwillu: it all comes down to WHAT are you going to use it for... lol
[12:19] <achandra> cwillu: agree with you again... :)
[12:19] <IceDC571> finalbeta: I'm trying WPA with ACSII and hex.. confusing
[12:19] <cwillu> 1-2x is fine for not causing problems by not allocating enough;  if you're to the point of performance tuning, that page is pretty basic, and if you're not, it's way over your head.  Good intro to the issues though :)
[12:20] <rambo3> use google to convert ascii to hex
[12:20] <rambo3> and dont input % signs
[12:20] <achandra> cwillu: that is always one of my favorite pages...it made me think...twice...thrice...lol
[12:20] <cwillu> heh
[12:21] <cwillu> achandra: it's kinda too bad that it doesn't mention anything about swappiness and related sysctl settings though;  that's the low-hanging fruit as far as optimization is concerned :)
[12:22] <Jack-Ho> BRB
[12:22] <cwillu> hopefully autoreg
[12:22] <cwillu> bah
[12:22] <Lord-ChewY> i just installed the ati drives
[12:22] <Lord-ChewY> glxgears works
[12:22] <Lord-ChewY> but fglrx_gears doesn't
[12:22] <Lord-ChewY> what does that mean
[12:22] <achandra> cwillu: indeed..ill have to google that and read up
[12:22] <Lord-ChewY> err
[12:22] <Lord-ChewY> fgl_glxgears doesn't work
[12:23] <cwillu> achandra: basically sets how keen the kernel is on swapping process out to make room for cache;  swappiness=0 means apps will basically never page out unless absolutely neccessary.
[12:23] <rambo3> Lord-ChewY, you mean fgl_glxgears
[12:23] <cwillu> updatedb will take 10 seconds longer, but mozilla will always be immediately responsive :)
[12:23] <Lord-ChewY> rambo3: yes
[12:23] <achandra> Lord_ChewY: I had the same issue...but the mips on glx gears was fine.. did you try a gl program against it and see?
[12:24] <Lord-ChewY> achandra not yet, how can i have glxgears report FPS
[12:24] <achandra> cwillu: interesting..
[12:24] <Lord-ChewY> i think it works, it makes the same noise my cheasy ogl windows programs made
[12:24] <Lord-ChewY> a high pitched ring from my vid card
[12:25] <Lord-ChewY> are there any gl games i can apt-get with ubuntu?
[12:25] <Lord-ChewY> tu2k4 demo or something
[12:25] <Lord-ChewY> ut2k4*
[12:25] <Raul654> I have an in-depth question. I installed ubuntu yesterday on a brand new off-the-shelf Dell 5150. The problem is that Ubuntu didn't take too well (at all) to the video card (an ATI radeon x300SE). I pulled the video card, and installed ubuntu using the on-board graphics (an intel 945 (?) graphics card)
[12:26] <Raul654> I reinstalled the radeon, and got the same problem - X refuses to boot telling me there are no screens. I googled and found a lot of other people had the same problem, and fixed it by using ATI's flygx (?) driver
[12:26] <Raul654> I remember there's a command-line X config utility, which lets you specify the device and the driver
[12:26] <cwillu> Raul654: might need to reconfigure x
[12:26] <Raul654> but I can't remember what it is
[12:26] <cwillu> Raul654: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:26] <cwillu> or xserver-xorg
[12:26] <cwillu> can never remember which :)
[12:26] <iiiears> UT2K4 is propietary. You need the CD/DVD - Tuxracer instead?
[12:27] <iiiears> !fixres
[12:27] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:27] <achandra> Raul654: look here at the manual setup section - http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Dapper_Installation_Guide
[12:27] <linux1> hiya ppl im getiing really croppy playbackaftr installing ubuntu ,didnt have this in windows ,do i have something setup wrong or just ubuntu does no handle playback as well as windows (usuing a PIII 900 , 448mb ram)
[12:27] <jmg> FixVideoResolutionHowto is blank
[12:28] <iiiears> linux1 - What type of multimedia file?
[12:28] <linux1> avi
[12:28] <jmg> linux1: also what kind of video card?
[12:28] <cwillu> linux1:  do you know what codec in the avi?  (divx, etc)
[12:28] <linux1> geforce2 mx400
[12:28] <achandra> Lord-ChewY: work for ya?? or??
[12:29] <Lord-ChewY> achandra: sorry didn't see what you said
[12:29] <linux1> not sure ,havve automatixinstall so should have all codec on box ,it plays choppy with all players used vlc,mplayer,kaffine
[12:29] <Lord-ChewY> achandra: im looking for linux game to try it, looking into quake4 actually
[12:29] <Raul654> Ok, thanks
[12:29] <Raul654> I'll give it a try later this morning
[12:30] <cwillu> linux1:  :/
[12:30] <iiiears> linux1 - I really like the easyubuntu script for getting multimedia and other apps. some prefer automatix. - Another thing to check might be maybe.. "hdparms"
[12:30] <finalbeta> Weird, when I lock my desktop programs like IRC disconnect? Can I change this behaviour, it's not acceptable.
[12:30] <runes> how do I make an image of a data dvd?
[12:30] <cwillu> are easyubuntu or automatix recommended?  there was a time when such things were breakage prone
[12:31] <Lord-ChewY> downloading quake4 now, ill let you know achandra
[12:32] <achandra> Lord-Chewy: or synaptic for trackballs...its an open-gl game...
[12:32] <iiiears> cwillu - too true. - not to mention that the homegrown repeositories have less security. even if the script does everything right.
[12:32] <cwillu> linux1:  what iiiears just said :)
[12:33] <achandra> Lord-ChewY: or Armagetron...woot woot...the OG one.....lol
[12:33] <detectiveinspekt> I made a script that encodes some video and shutdowns the computer using sudo
[12:33] <cwillu> ubotu tell iiiears about restricted
[12:33] <cwillu> iiiears: better way of getting support for that stuff, at least you know exactly what you're getting
[12:33] <detectiveinspekt> does the sudo command timeout? because I don't want to use the password in my script (not that advanced with sh)
[12:33] <cwillu> oops
[12:34] <cwillu> sorry iiiears, gotta the wrong nick in my head :p
[12:34] <iiiears> detectiveinspekt: In Hoary it was 15mins
[12:34] <cwillu> ubotu tell linux1 about restricted
[12:34] <cwillu> linux1: better way of getting support for that stuff, at least you know exactly what you're getting
[12:34] <detectiveinspekt> damn
[12:34] <cwillu> linux1: I've got smooth playback on a 1gig machine (256mb ram), so it should be quite possible on a 900
[12:35] <detectiveinspekt> because encoding will take me at least 6 hrs
[12:35] <linux1> hmm where have i gone wrong ?
[12:35] <cwillu> linux1: hard to say;  what prog are you using to watch?  how much memory do you have?
[12:36] <cwillu> linux1: and I presume you're running dapper?
[12:36] <Zalo> mmm, installed the ATI driver, but now the screen goes black (login screen)
[12:36] <Zalo> any ideas?
[12:36] <runes> linux1 is the playback off of a cd or dvd drive?
[12:37] <achandra> Zalo: you ran through all of the steps... to make sure the ati driver loaded and all?
[12:37] <linux1> yeah dapper (have xlg/compix set up but have tryed without)still same ,448mb ram ,not sure will try dvd now 2 secs
[12:37] <iiiears> detectiveinspekt: hm. Wouldn't it only timeout if you were inactive??? - else might there be a way to include your use/pass in the script (insecure) or create a user for a new mencoder group or best change the default timeout. -
[12:37] <runes> linux1 check to see if DMA is on for your drive
[12:37] <Zalo> I followed the walkthroug
[12:38] <cwillu> linux1: might be worth doing the troubleshooting in normal x, just to eliminate that as a difficulty
[12:38] <Zalo> everything looked ok
[12:38] <linux1> runes how do i do that
[12:38] <runes> sec linux1
[12:38] <cwillu> linux1:  hdparm
[12:38] <runes> linux1, sudo hdparm /dev/hdc
[12:39] <achandra> Zalo: okay.. its likely a resolution issue.. but in the command line...you might want to check the dirver..for.. fglrxinfo again..
[12:40] <runes> linux1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DMA?highlight=%28dma%29
[12:40] <snoops> Hey, I'm going to switch one of my windows boxes over to dapper.. I've been testing dapper 64bit desktop on another machine, and really like xgl/compiz, plus a few apps like amarok etc. This other pc will mainly be used for server type things though - running asterisk, ruby, php, mysql, apache, and mythtv.. I'm thinking the server release is what I want, but well.. what's the difference?
[12:40] <snoops> does the server release limit me from doing something the desktop release can do?
[12:41] <cwillu> snoops: server release is a bit different kernel (not optimized for interactivity), and is a stripped down release (no x, gnome, etc)
[12:41] <cwillu> snoops: you can do a desktop install and switch to a server kernel, etc,
[12:41] <snoops> oh didn't realise it didn't include a gui
[12:41] <cwillu> snoops: less efficient, but that doesn't sound like it's a problem
[12:41] <snoops> okay I'll just go with desktop release
[12:42] <achandra> snoops: cwillu's advise is right on...considering  you like the desktop features..
[12:42] <snoops> well annoying as it is, I can't use linux full time on my main machine because of the terrible flash support (I'm a web developer)
[12:42] <cwillu> snoops: heh, I hear ya
[12:42] <snoops> but I still want a machine with the desktop, so I can at least show off xgl and compiz to people
[12:43] <cwillu> snoops: btw, there's a neat package that downloads and installs ie5, 5.5 and 6.0 under wine, which might be of interest
[12:43] <snoops> oh, definitely
[12:43] <cwillu> it's not in the repositories, but it installs easily enough
[12:43] <snoops> just a deb?
[12:43] <iiiears> detectiveinspekt: This is ine truely ugly work around. - (haven't found a way to change the timeout. - YET ) http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/
[12:43] <cwillu> snoops: ies4linux
[12:44] <Zalo> i am running ubuntu i recovery mode, if i try fglrxinfo it says error: unable to open display :0
[12:44] <Zalo> i am running ubuntu i recovery mode, if i try fglrxinfo it says error: unable to open display :0
[12:44] <cwillu> snoops: and if you're willing to a pay a bit, crossover has good support for plugins, although the cpu usage is still a bit of a problem
[12:44] <linux1> hmm all drive using dma and dvd playback is choppy as well
[12:45] <cwillu> linux1, was video acceleration working in plain ol' x?
[12:45] <snoops> I might give crossover a go sometime
[12:45] <cwillu> snoops: highly recommend it
[12:46] <Chetic> What's the easiest way to install Ubuntu without a disc drive?
[12:46] <achandra> Zalo: why in recovery?? when the normal kernel kicked you into console mode...can you log in and try it??
[12:47] <snoops> it's bloody frustrating.. I honestly see linux is where all the innovation is coming from now, but a few companies like adobe are making it extremely difficult for the people who just want to browse the web, listen to music, watch a movie, and maybe watch some videos on youtube or google videos
[12:47] <achandra> Zalo: that is type the command in... ??
[12:47] <cwillu> Zalo: ctrl+alt+f1 to go to console when x crashes I believe
[12:47] <achandra> yep
[12:48] <rich909> hi all,
[12:49] <Zalo> ok :)
[12:49] <snoops> anyway, thanks cwillu!
[12:49] <rich909> getting the following error when ubuntu logs in "There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon" I restart the and get the same error everytime. Any ideas on how to fix this issue ?
[12:49] <KenSentMe> cwillu: ies4linux looks cool
[12:50] <cwillu> KenSentMe: it's handy, that's for sure
[12:50] <KenSentMe> cwillu: and it supports flash8 too
[12:51] <iiiears> detectiveinspekt: This is it. http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=20765&
[12:51] <snoops> hmm I suppose I could run firefox in wine with flash 8
[12:52] <iris> does anyone use evolution with a pop3 account which they access from multiple locations?
[12:52] <wotdu> i do iris
[12:52] <flax> has somebody documentation about the junkfilter in evolution? i tried bogo,.. which didnt work,.. and now im trying spamassassin, but it's not as straightforward as i expected (am i doing something wrong?)
[12:52] <iris> if i have the "leave messages on server" option on, how can i delete messages from the server?  it looks like they are left on there forever
[12:52] <Frogzoo> iris: pop will always be a problem from multiple locations - imap the only real soln
[12:52] <achandra> Zalo: have also tried... sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:52] <iris> wotdu, do you have that problem too?
[12:52] <Chetic> How do you install Ubuntu without a disc drive?
[12:53] <wotdu> no because i really want to let them forever on the server
[12:53] <wotdu> got almost 3gb space so no prob :P
[12:53] <wotdu> gmail ftw
[12:53] <iris> haha
[12:53] <xwind_> Chetic: u mean a cdrom drive?
[12:53] <iris> not a problem for you
[12:53] <wotdu> i can get you a gmail account if you want
[12:53] <Chetic> Yeah xwind_
[12:53] <iris> thats ok i can get a gmail account
[12:53] <linux1> yeah payback was a better but not purfect
[12:54] <iris> the problem is that this account is important for business and it doesnt support imap
[12:54] <xwind_> Chetic: network install, but that means u need to have a server as host.
[12:55] <iris> mozilla thunderbird has an option to delete pop messages from the server which are deleted locally
[12:55] <Chetic> xwind_, a linux server..?
[12:56] <Zalo> now X is working, but fglrxinfo says: error of failed request: BadAlloc and so on
[12:56] <xwind_> yes, a local one.
[12:56] <iiiears> iris- Evolution was fussy with mail retrieved  and began to scold me about mailheaders from a very well known ISP. Mozilla Thunderbird  :)
[12:56] <cwillu> linux1: under xorg?
[12:56] <Chetic> DAMN IT!
[12:56] <Chetic> God does not want me to have a f-ing operating system on my computer, I swear
[12:56] <Zambezi> Epiphany uses too much memory. And Firefox doesn't work. Is there an option? Opera and what more?
[12:56] <achandra> Zalo: so the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg helped??
[12:57] <xwind_> :-P
[12:57] <david_jasa> hi
[12:57] <flax> is there someone here that can help me with a junkfilter in evolution? otherwise i have to choose for thunderbird (since i know how to get it's spamfilter working)
[12:57] <nige_> hi all
[12:57] <snoops> get a friend to lend you a cd rom Chetic?
[12:57] <achandra> Zalo: for some whack reason the ati driver didnt load.. did you use method one or two from the guide to install??
[12:57] <bytewalker> what do i need to install to watch .wmvs ?
[12:57] <cwillu> linux1:  does it improve if you renice the player -10 or so?
[12:57] <Chetic> I have 5 of them snoops, 3 of which I KNOW work... but they don't on my computer
[12:57] <david_jasa> how to ask for package updates/backports?
[12:58] <Zalo> method 1
[12:58] <david_jasa> hplip is broken and there is new major version out...
[12:58] <nige_> anyone had much luck with ipcop?
[12:58] <snoops> you could install dapper through a flash drive, couldn't ya Chetic?
[12:58] <avis> i was wondering, if i replace my sb live value with an audigy 2 will i have to make any special adjustments to make it work ?
[12:58] <Zambezi> flax, You can you Spamassasin together with anoter application.
[12:58] <snoops> but if your machine can't boot from cd, I doubt booting from flash stick would be an option
[12:58] <Zalo> woooa... hum, maybe it is becaus i am running 64 bit?
[12:58] <finalbeta> How do I set my wireless to G-mode instaid of B-mode? It's only working at 11Mbit instaid of 54Mbit.
[12:59] <flax> zambezi: i've tried installing bogo firtst (since it would be faster then spamassisin), but didnt work
[12:59] <achandra> Zalo: I working with another person as well tonight..that had the same issue with method one...its worth the try with method two...but Id highy suggest when you get to part about configuring the deb package generation...running it console mode..ie ctrl-alt-f1...it worked for both of us..
[12:59] <avis> finalbeta, make sure your router supports b/g and not only b and also make sure it doesn't fall back if a b device is on the network.
[12:59] <Chetic> I could, snoops? How big of a flash drive would it need to be?
[12:59] <flax> zambezi: now i will have to configure scripts by hand? to get spamassisin workin...
[01:00] <snoops> a gig to be safe I guess Chetic
[01:00] <achandra> Zalo: we did have trouble with the so-called fglrx-gears or whatever its called....but 3d support is working..
[01:00] <finalbeta> avis, I had to set my router to support both B and G else linux didn't connect. Linux is the B device here, and it should be using G.
[01:00] <flax> zambezi: it's not that i cant do it,.. but i have this "im on the wrong road" felling
[01:00] <iiiears> avis - Do you have to enable WEP to get 802.11G?
[01:00] <Zalo> ok :) thanks achandra
[01:00] <Chetic> Guess that idea goes in the bin then snoops
[01:00] <flax> --felling ++feeling
[01:00] <avis> finalbeta, perhaps its a driver problem.
[01:00] <eduardo> sorry, do you speak spanish?
[01:00] <Zambezi> flax, Ask in #spamassassin. I don't know the details yet about Spamassasin.
[01:00] <xwind_> what sort of comp u got Chetic?
[01:01] <Zambezi> flax, I'll try after WC.
[01:01] <avis> iiiears no you dont to my knowledge.  i believe the accepted way of doing it is wpasupplicant
[01:01] <iiiears> Hi Eduardo.
[01:01] <iiiears> !es
[01:01] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[01:01] <Chetic> xwind_, athlon64 1.5GB ram.. X800XL graphics card
[01:01] <eduardo> ok
[01:01] <Chetic> xwind_, don't know what you want to know..
[01:01] <iiiears> We will try to help but spanish isn't spoken very well here.
[01:01] <xwind_> very curious on why u can't connect a cdrom to it.
[01:01] <flax> zambezi shall i inform you when i've got it working?
[01:01] <Chetic> It's definately the motherboard
[01:02] <avis> wpasupplicant was a little too cryptic for my experience level so i downgraded to WEP but i will use mac filtering once my dad gets home.
[01:02] <eduardo> thanks
[01:02] <Chetic> or hm.. an idea.. bbl
[01:02] <flax> join #evolution
[01:02] <Frogzoo> any python gurus? I've installed the pkg python-mysqldb but zope reports "ImportError: No module named _mysql" what gives?
[01:03] <achandra> Zalo: read the small comments carefully on method two... it asks for renabling of the blacklist after you are done.. i just removed the ati version from synaptic...but you can pick which way you want..
[01:03] <Zambezi> flax, Yes. Tell me how hard it was. ;-) I You need atleast one application more which acts like transperant "proxy".
[01:03] <cwillu> Frogzoo: mysql itself installed?
[01:03] <wotdu> hey guys
[01:04] <wotdu> what name do i have to put on sources.list to use the testing release ?
[01:04] <skynet> hi all I'm using Ubuntu 6.06 and have noticed that the mini commander panel applet is not available is this a gnome decision or ubuntu's fault?
[01:04] <rich909> can any 1 help with the following error  Gnome-WARNING **: Accessibility: failed to find module 'libatk-bridge' which is needed to make this application accessible
[01:04] <achandra> avis: using the networkmanager tool...it "finds" the wpa network and gives you place to install the pass..you might wanna give that a try...a nice systray app. :)
[01:04] <rapha> Hi all!
[01:04] <rapha> Can somebody help me with an rsync problem?
[01:05] <cwillu> skynet: find out what package its in, and if its in universe or multiverse
[01:05] <Frogzoo> cwillu: yep, I can run up mysql-admin etc. np
[01:05] <avis> achandra ?  oh ?  its callled networkmanager ?
[01:05] <achandra> avis: yes..
[01:05] <flax> zambezi: about 2nd application, that took a lot of time before i figured that out(i trained it without a application), after that i trained bogo,.. but it never kicks in(my wordlist.db is now 13M),.. now im trying spamassassin... it takes me far too much time ;)
[01:05] <achandra> avis: your on ubuntu not kubuntu right??
[01:06] <mtcaja> :-)
[01:06] <Zambezi> wotdu, I'ts not recommended to use Edy yet, but change Dapper to Edy (I guess), then run the dist-upgrade command - ow your own risk. Make a backup before.
[01:06] <Tobbygnome> which is better ubuntu xubuntu or kubuntu
[01:06] <avis> that would be correct

[01:06] <cwillu> Frogzoo: zope might need it installed in a special location
[01:06] <iiiears> Edgy Eft
[01:06] <noiesmo> Tobbygnome, depends if you like xfce kde or gnome
[01:06] <wotdu> Tobbygnome: it's just different default desktop managers
[01:06] <avis> Tobby, you kinda gotta try them all and find out what your niche is
[01:07] <wotdu> Zambezi: Edy or Edgy?
[01:07] <achandra> Tobbtgnome: thats like asking... who is better...Jenna Jameson...or.. Tera Patrick...it depends.. lol
[01:07] <Zambezi> flax, Give me a couple of minutes. I saved a log. I have the packages there.
[01:07] <apokryphos> wotdu: trying to use edgy atm would be a little ridiculous
[01:07] <iiiears> rafeas - Please Be  Careful with the return key it spams the channel.
[01:07] <Zambezi> wotdu, Edgy
[01:07] <rigonatti> !terminal
[01:07] <wotdu> why apokryphos ?
[01:07] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via applications -> accessories -> terminal (gnome) or kmenu -> system -> konsole (kde). Manuals: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicCommands
[01:07] <bram_> oooooh, lot's of people :)
[01:08] <avis> to the person that recommended network manager to me is there a GUI front end to it ?
[01:08] <bram_> trying to set up a bittorrent tracker on an ubuntu server, would love some help...
[01:08] <apokryphos> wotdu: what I said -- the big syncs are still in process; the distribution barely exists properly. It's VERY far from any remotely reasonable "testing" yet
[01:08] <postel> Hi, i got a .mp4 video file that file(1) reports it being ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, 3GPP JVT AVC, mplayer refuse to playback and gives Encrypted VOB file errors, libdvdcss is installed. Any ideas?
[01:08] <wotdu> hmm ok
[01:08] <wotdu> thanks
[01:10] <Zambezi> flax, "<and_> i have postfix+amavisd-new+SA+clamav+mailzu"
[01:10] <bytewalker> what package is 'network-admin' in???
[01:10] <Ng> postel: have you installed the win32 codecs? alternatively, RealPlayer should play 3GPP files
[01:10] <noiesmo> postel, not 1--% sure but I just did a apt-cache search mp4 and it listed a mp4 libary maybe install it libmp4v2-0 - MP4 container library - runtime files
[01:10] <achandra> bytewalker: have you set up all repos?
[01:11] <marcin> witam kochani
[01:11] <achandra> bytewalker: ie edited the /etc/apt/sources.list file?
[01:11] <Ng> bytewalker: gnome-system-tools
[01:11] <marcin> jest tu kto z polski
[01:11] <Ng> !pl
[01:11] <bytewalker> yea
[01:11] <ubotu> Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[01:11] <spiderbatdad> so, application that previously went into the launch panel after being started, gaim, for example, are just disappearing noe
[01:11] <bytewalker> im using kde thats prolly why network admin dont work lol
[01:12] <bytewalker> wireless does NOT want to work:PP:P
[01:12] <achandra> bytewalker:  i believe the equivalent is knetworkmanager
[01:12] <wotdu> hey
[01:13] <wotdu> anyone else having problems with sound and flash plugin on firefox?
[01:13] <longkerdandy> mplayer gonna piss me off, subtitles never worked
[01:13] <wotdu> i'm using esd btw
[01:13] <achandra> bytewalker: also after i installed...i had to do a ctrl-alt-bkspc for it to show up..on the system tray.. but ive forgotten now how to call it up via command line...hang on..
[01:13] <zeus_x> Hello anyone, I need a bit o hep
[01:14] <ogamiitto> ubuntu mounts the external usb hard disk drive as root and i can't write on it, any clue?
[01:14] <bytewalker> i installed my driver with ndiswrapper and removed the default modules and it still dont work arrgg
[01:14] <spiderbatdad> zeus: go ahead
[01:14] <orbin> wotdu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats ... there's a flash+sound section
[01:14] <wotdu> thanks
[01:14] <zeus_x> May I inquire of some knowlege please
[01:15] <cwillu> ogamiitto: I _think_ there's a group you have to put yourself in, but I could be mistaken
[01:15] <spiderbatdad> zeus_x: go ahead
 check out /etc/fstab
[01:15] <bram_> after installing bittorrent via apt-get, I can't seem to find maketorrent... anyone know how to fix this?
[01:15] <zeus_x> I wasted my grub boot loadre and am in the live cd now
[01:15] <ogamiitto> there is no entry in /etc/fstab for the usb disk
[01:15] <cwillu> skynet, ogamiitto:  re: fstab, that isn't that fmask, dmask stuff is it?
[01:16] <cwillu> bram_: done a sudo updatedb yet?
[01:16] <rigonatti> hi all .. I saw a Friend with some scripts menu in mouse menu at right click ( open in nautilus as root,  open in terminal as root, etc). Does anyone know how do that ?
[01:16] <flax> zambezi: are you talking about antivirii?, Im looking for a decent junkfilter in evolution. (finally a bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309181 :D )
[01:16] <ntoll> hi, my sources file for apt on dapper server seems to be fubar (on a clean install), can someone paste to me directly a working version???
[01:16] <achandra> bytewalker: /usr/bin/nm-tool
[01:16] <achandra> thats for networkmanager
[01:16] <spiderbatdad> zeus_x: sounds like a reinstall is needed
 is it a fat or ntfs drive?
[01:16] <zeus_x> i cannot seem to get to the actual filesystem on the hard drive
[01:16] <cwillu> ntoll: there's a clean version on the cd as well
[01:16] <bram_> cwillu: running, this is taking quite some time...
[01:16] <ntoll> cwillu: ok will take a look
[01:17] <ogamiitto> umm i've tried with ext3 and reiserfs
[01:17] <spiderbatdad> live cd has limited capabilities
[01:17] <cwillu> bram_: ya, it takes a bit
[01:17] <noiesmo> zeus_x, you will need to mount the drive and chroot in
[01:17] <ogamiitto> i don't want windows filesystems
[01:17] <bram_> cwillu: done, no go. can't find bit* nor torrent* nor make*
[01:17] <avis> i installed gnome-network-manager and i cannot find the application anywhere
[01:17] <bytewalker> my wlan0 device wont go up
[01:17] <cwillu> bram_: try just 'locate bit'
[01:17] <zeus_x> I have windows on hdb for acronis testing and because windows thinks it is on drive 0, the boot loader does not install correctly
[01:18] <jenda> I just installed the i686 kernel, and that got my hibernation working. However, it borked my ATI card. What can I do? It worked perfectly before.
[01:18] <Zambezi> flax, I has antivirus too. I can be good on a mailserver.
[01:18] <cwillu> the * will just cause shell expansion unless you quote it, in which case it won't do anything unless you also do -r, and change it to .*
[01:18] <tin_nqn> hello. how can I execute a php script with extension in xml ?
[01:18] <orbin> avis: tried just running it?
[01:18] <avis> from gksudo ?  no...
[01:18] <spiderbatdad> defrag windows prior to installation?
[01:18] <tin_nqn> I have my feed ar /rss.php and I need /rss.xml (specials reasons)
[01:18] <cwillu> bram_: the * symbol doesn't work the same as it does on windows;  it's expanded by the shell, not the program that you're running
[01:18] <killaz> !bluetooth
[01:19] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BluetoothSetup
[01:19] <achandra> bytewalker: more info needed.. does it come up automatically on boot or no..
[01:19] <bram_> cwillu: lot's of stuff, but... nothing conclusive :S
[01:19] <zeus_x> what will that do?
[01:19] <avis> orbin, gksudo isn't working for me anymore, oddly.
[01:19] <bram_> how do I figure out what files were installed by an apt-get ?
[01:19] <higen> what was a recomended fs for a usb disk that i want to access in windows and linux? (mainly in linux)
[01:19] <cwillu> bram_: pattern* will expand to every file in the current directory matching that pattern
[01:19] <bram_> installed/added
[01:19] <flax> zambezi: i know,.. i already have this on the server,.. but i want on my desktop also a spamfilter
[01:19] <jenda> !ati
[01:19] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:19] <postel> Ng: yeah, the wincodecs are installed
[01:19] <rigonatti> Does anyone know why de" Adds 3 nautilus scritpts" in Automatix dont work?
[01:19] <tishaishii> hi
[01:19] <postel> noiesmo: And the runtime libs are there too
[01:19] <bram_> cwillu: yeah, no, I mean, pattern<hits tab>
[01:19] <cwillu> bram_: i.e., 'locate foo*' will expand to 'locate <file1> <file2 <file3>'
[01:19] <spiderbatdad> not sure but it's always required prior to a ubuntu  installation along side a windows installation
[01:19] <ntoll> cwillu: where on the cdrom? or is it in the image rather than the cd's filesystem?
[01:19] <Lord-ChewY> what do i do with a "run" file
[01:20] <Lord-ChewY> this quake4 demo i got is a .run
[01:20] <cwillu> ubotu tell ntoll about sources.list
[01:20] <achandra> bram_: in synaptics..if you click on properties...it gives usually a nice description..of where things have been put..
[01:20] <cwillu> achandra: that's no fun :p
[01:20] <tishaishii> I tryed to build apache2 on Ubuntu for AMDx64, and it faild
[01:20] <achandra> lol
[01:20] <ntoll> cwillu: ta
[01:20] <bram_> no synaptics here :-) server w/out gui
[01:21] <apokryphos> tishaishii: why build?
[01:21] <zeus_x> The windows install is hdb, I installed without hda plugged in so win would think it was alone and on drive a, 0, C: Know what I am saying?
[01:21] <achandra> ahhh
[01:21] <orbin> avis: i meant do an alt+f2, then type gnome-network-manager
[01:21] <avis> ok
[01:21] <spiderbatdad> oh
[01:21] <noiesmo> postel, not sure was just a suggestion maybe try google if no one else here knows
[01:21] <tishaishii> Sorry for my Englesh, I'm from Russia
[01:21] <Zambezi> flax, But your spamfilter on your server can handle the spam on your desktop. I'm pretty sure about that.
[01:21] <apokryphos> tishaishii: do you mean install?
[01:21] <bram_> it's strange, I want to start servering bittorrent files from my server, but can't really find a conclusive "here's how to do it" type of thying and stumbeling at the first step... :-)
[01:21] <postel> noiesmo: i got some more info from the #mplayer ppl, we'll see
[01:21] <cwillu> bram_: try 'locate bit | grep doc', and then start man'ing things that show up in /usr/doc :)
[01:21] <achandra> then some version of  - find / -name | grep " package"... but find in ubuntu will ask you to be more specific...
[01:22] <tishaishii> No, I have installed apache2 with no apxs
[01:22] <spiderbatdad> why would you want that?
[01:22] <zeus_x> Then when I installed ubuntu, it obviously thoght it should install grub on hdb and actually showed it as drive 0,0
[01:22] <avis> says gnome-network-manager cannot be found
[01:22] <avis> odd.
[01:22] <tishaishii> I need apxs to build mod_perl2
[01:22] <noiesmo> postel, kool
[01:22] <bram_> ... /usr/share/doc/bittorrent -> man bittorrent -> No manual entry for bittorrent
[01:22] <iiiears> !tell zeus about grub
[01:22] <zeus_x> So windows would have a C drive and not some malformed install
[01:22] <orbin> avis: ok, what package is this?
[01:23] <erUSUL> tishaishii: what's wrong with the packaged version?
[01:23] <achandra> bram_: its a tar.gz or?? with no README or INSTALL???
[01:23] <ubuntu> ta ai alguem k fale portugues?
[01:23] <iiiears> !tell zeus_x about grub
[01:23] <tishaishii> There is no apxs
[01:23] <avis> orbin, its called gnome-network-manager.
[01:23] <rigonatti> fala ubuntu
[01:23] <erUSUL> !tell ubuntu about pt
[01:23] <flax> zambezi: i know, but i WANT to have my own private spam filter on the desktop,.. (hey maybe im interrested in some "special" advertisements ;) )
[01:23] <bram_> there's a bunch of HTML files... let's have a look
[01:23] <erUSUL> !tell ubuntu about br
[01:23] <avis> i believe it allows wpa inside the gnome gui
[01:23] <zeus_x> If you install on a second drive, windows comes up with drive d or e etc
[01:23] <tishaishii> And I don't know whereis apache directory
[01:23] <rigonatti> ubuntu: diz ai
[01:23] <cwillu> bram_: well, start poking in that directory then :p
[01:23] <bram_> well, there's a README.txt.gz
[01:23] <ubuntu> eu apaguei sem kerer o ubuntu e agora nao consigo aceder ao windows
[01:23] <erUSUL> !pt
[01:23] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[01:24] <achandra> cwillu: good advice ;)
[01:24] <orbin> avis: do you mean network-manager-gnome ?
[01:24] <avis> yes i do
[01:24] <cwillu> /me:  master of the obvious
[01:24] <achandra> brm: tar -xvzf README.txt.gz
[01:24] <zeus_x> I am an Acronis beta tester and that is the only reason for windows
[01:24] <Zambezi> flax, When install one there too. ;-) I don't have problem the TB:s filter. I saved 400 spams and tought it with them.
[01:24] <cwillu> bah, that didn't come out right
[01:24] <tishaishii> Tell me, where is "apache directory" in standart installation
[01:24] <spiderbatdad> my installs have always partitioned hda, and I have never experienced what you are talking about
[01:25] <iiiears> zeus_x:  lol
[01:25] <zeus_x> Me neither
[01:25] <flax> Zambezi: well that is what i want to do :D and what i can not get working ;)
[01:25] <cwillu> tishaishii: /etc/apache has links to say which sites are enabled, the default site is in /var/www
[01:25] <zeus_x> This is strange to me too
[01:25] <erUSUL> achandra: gunzip README.txt.gz. it is not a tar archive
[01:25] <orbin> avis: dpkg -L network-manager-gnome | grep bin/
[01:25] <bram_> wtf, this is like all info about how to create torrents in windows... *sigh*
[01:25] <achandra> no . after the gz??
[01:25] <zeus_x> So you say reinstall all together
[01:25] <orbin> avis: i have a feeling the executable is called network-manager-gnome
[01:25] <spiderbatdad> after defrag
[01:26] !lilo:*! It's been suggested that some or all of the Netherlands dropped off the net briefly earlier when we had our hub <-> hub communications problems. I'm still looking for a URL and would appreciate any reference material. Thanks.
[01:26] <Daniel0> what is the default octal chmod value of a users home directory?
[01:26] <erUSUL> achandra: it was punctuation
[01:26] <zeus_x> I will try it and thanks for the talk
[01:26] <cwillu> bram_:  what was the package name again
[01:26] <achandra> ahh
[01:26] <cwillu> ?
[01:26] <ntoll> hmph... my sources are right (just checked) I keep getting a "Connection failed [IP: 85.133.25.7 80]  for each of the items
[01:26] <zeus_x> Later
[01:26] <bram_> cwillu, wait, found something....
[01:26] <higen> i will go for ext2 on my usbdisk.. maybe a small ntfs partition for compatibility cause.. but then use ext2 drivers
[01:26] <ntoll> I can ping the IP
[01:26] <bram_> the package is "bittorrent"
[01:26] <cwillu> bram_:  yay!  :)
[01:26] <Zalo> muuarg, unable to sudo apt-get install module-assistant build-essential
[01:26] <Zalo> doesn't find it
[01:26] <orbin> achandra, erUSUL : you can use zless to view gzipped text
[01:27] <ntoll> so the server is there
[01:27] <Zambezi> flax, When it's a little bit tricky. I'm hoping I can scream and smash my computer and then make it understand. That would be wounderful.
[01:27] <avis> i'm going to restart X to see if that is necessary
[01:27] <cwillu> ntoll: can you browse the url?
[01:27] <achandra> erUSUL: there you have it...thanks..
[01:27] <tishaishii> I never had compiled perl module DBI on 64-bit platforms (both Windows and Linux). It fails
[01:27] <achandra> orbin: thnx....god enough...
[01:27] <cwillu> ntoll: apt-get update is doing it, right?
[01:27] <achandra> good that is...
[01:27] <bram_> cwillu: OK, found it. it's a bit obsecure, but it's all in the readme.txt.gz
[01:28] <tishaishii> Hei, help me enyone!
[01:28] <erUSUL> orbin: i know it. I just corrected achandra to not use tar with gzipped only archive
[01:28] <ompaul> !anyone
[01:28] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:28] <cwillu> tishaishii: ?
[01:28] <ntoll> cwillu: apt-get update is what is complaining
[01:28] <ompaul> tishaishii, see what ubotu said
[01:28] <tishaishii> to build or/and install DBI pm
[01:28] <orbin> erUSUL: k.
[01:28] <achandra> tishasishii: i dont have it installed in my box...but it will sit under /etc /httpd or /etc/apache2
[01:29] <tishaishii> Ubuntu said, that my C compiler couldn't to create executables
[01:29] <ntoll> I can navigate to the URL from my machine
[01:29] <cwillu> achandra: new question :)
[01:29] <ntoll> that seems correct
[01:29] <achandra> yeah..
[01:29] <Daniel0> can somebody tell me what the default octal chmod value of a user's home directory is?
[01:29] <ntoll> I can ping the server from the box I'm trying to set up
[01:29] <kismet> Hi All! How can change the layout of OpenOffice so that it looks under GNOME as it looks under KDE?
[01:29] <Zalo> achandra, any ideas? unable to sudo apt-get install module-assistant build-essential
[01:29] <ompaul> tishaishii, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:29] <cwillu> tishaishii: you have build-essential installed already, right?
[01:29] <erUSUL> tishaishii: install build-essentials
[01:29] <ntoll> I just keep getting the connection failed message
[01:29] <cwillu> ntoll, sudo apt-get update is failing?
[01:29] <ntoll> yup
[01:30] <cwillu> is it a copy/paste, or just checked by eye?
[01:30] <ntoll> checked by eye (and double checked)
[01:30] <achandra> what they all said...lol ;)
[01:30] <cwillu> ntoll;  maybe copy/paste it;  there's some syntax that's a bit tricky to proof read (spaces, etc)
[01:30] <compengi> someothernick
[01:30] <ntoll> in sources.list?
[01:31] <orbin> Daniel0: i think mine's 755
[01:31] <PC_Butler> hi
[01:31] <tishaishii> Ok, now I have build essentials
[01:31] <ubimaior> hi
[01:31] <tishaishii> What now?
[01:31] <Daniel0> ok thanks orbin
[01:31] <cwillu> ntoll: I mean, copy from ubuntu.com and paste it directly into sources.list, replacing the contents
[01:31] <achandra> cwillu: again that is really good advice..
[01:31] <ntoll> hmmm... I've got "deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted" for example - that looks good to me
[01:32] <cwillu> ntoll: one sec
[01:32] <ntoll> 'k
[01:32] <avis> network-gnome-manager doesn't seem to use WPA :(
[01:33] <Zalo> why can't I get the module-assistant installed?, it just says not available
[01:33] <achandra> ntoll: it might be a corrupted file or something..I think cwillu is asking to create a new sources.list file and move forward from there..
[01:33] <ubimaior> wifi problem: driver installed and working, connection via cable ok, with no cable ping to wifi device is ok but to router is not. Password inserted any help?
[01:33] <achandra> avis: sure it does...im using the wpa personal with tkip with it... works great...
[01:33] <ntoll> achandra: hmmm... ok... I'm editing the source file in vim
[01:34] <avis> you might be blocking pings on your router unless on internal lan, ubimaior
[01:34] <avis> achandra, its only giving me wpa options
[01:34] <avis> i wonder if i should remove the seveas repo or perhaps update my sources
[01:34] <achandra> ntoll: not sure it will help..but lets just say for example that you name sources.list to sources.list.old then create a new sources.list and do an apt-get update on say just one of those repositories..im wondering if it will work..
[01:34] <avis> no i am up to date
[01:35] <cwillu> ntoll: can you pastebin the output of the apt-get update?  just in case there's something else showing up that gives a clue
[01:35] <achandra> avis: which version of WPA are you using...the enterprise..or?? I know for certain it worked great with WPA personal.. tkip cypher..
[01:36] <ubimaior> thanks avis, wifi connection works properly with another windows laptop, thus the block should be laptop-side, how can I change it??
[01:36] <avis> wpa-tkip is what i'd like to use
[01:37] <avis> ubimaior, do you have mac filtering enabled ?
[01:37] <achandra> avis: yep...it works like a charm... do you see the wpa enabled network...click on it..then a box will appear with a drop down for automatic or tkip.. pick the tkip..
[01:38] <achandra> cwillu: a good start there..to figure things out..
[01:38] <avis> oh, well it would help if i created my WPA tkip network.  heh !
[01:38] <avis> thanks :)
[01:38] <ntoll> cwillu... I'm working directly on the box in question... don't even have ssh set up yet (it was the first thing I tried to apt-get install) so pasting is a bit of a problem as I'm on my desktop machine
[01:38] <achandra> lol...yeah
[01:38] <ubimaior> Avis, on the router mac filtering is disabled!
[01:38] <danielspin> hola cara culo
[01:39] <tin_nqn> amigos alguien sabe de reglas para mod_rewrite de apache?
[01:39] <sandralorente> hola
[01:39] <erUSUL> !es
[01:39] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[01:39] <ntoll> however.... I notice that the first error is "Errhttp://gb.archive.ubuntu.com dapper Release.gpg Connection failed [IP: 85.133.25.7 80] "
[01:39] <sandralorente> hola dani
[01:40] <achandra> my translation of that is a mod_rewrite issue of apache..but my spanish sucks...caramba!
[01:40] <danielspin> como os llamais los ke stais conectados
[01:40] <ntoll> during the install it complained taht it couldn't get the security repos
[01:40] <erUSUL> sandralorente: danielspin esto es un canal de soporte en *ingles* para ubuntu si necesitais ayuda en espaol id a #ubuntu-es.
[01:41] <ntoll> looks like I'll need to check the iso image to see if it is ok
[01:41] <cwillu> ntoll: does 'nslookup gb.archive.ubuntu.com' give you any warnings?
[01:41] <dngldoof> I'm having problems updating Ubuntu 5.10 to the latest version. Upgrade manager does suggest upgrading, but there are no updates available on the list. Anyone?
[01:41] <sandralorente> jiji
[01:41] <ntoll> cwillu: checking now
[01:41] <erUSUL> tin_nqn: no se de mod_rewrite pero esto es un canal de soporte en *ingles* para ubuntu si necesitais ayuda en espaol id a #ubuntu-es.
[01:42] <ntoll> nope
[01:42] <jwollenhaupt> joo mens and girlz
[01:42] <tin_nqn> I'm sorry
[01:42] <ntoll> no warnings... just the IP address / name etc etc
[01:42] <cwillu> yep
[01:42] <cwillu> just hoping
[01:42] <killaz> is there a manual on how to connect to a my bluetooth mobile s700i? cause I've been searching but no luck..
[01:43] <Solon12> is there any way to make it so that when i push some key combination like Alt+1, ubuntu will automatically type a predetermined line of text? I use certain lines of text over and over during the same and this would save a lot of time
[01:43] <markon> 
[01:44] <cwillu> ntoll: sudo -s followed by ping gb... work?
[01:44] <iiiears> !bluetooth
[01:44] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BluetoothSetup
[01:44] <orbin> dngldoof: seen this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades ?
[01:44] <markon> Ar
[01:45] <ntoll> cwillu: I can ping as per normal
[01:45] <achandra> !sleep
[01:45] <ubotu> I know nothing about sleep
[01:45] <achandra> lol
[01:46] <cwillu> ntoll: not using a proxy are you?
[01:46] <dngldoof> orbin: yes, I'm working on it.. I'm currently using version 0.37 something on update manager (breezy) and when I try to reinstall, Ubuntu tells me to insert the 5.10 install CD
[01:46] <achandra> cwillu: good luck with the rest...gotta  get  some z's...nice chatting with ya..
[01:46] <orbin> dngldoof: remove/disable the cd from your repository list
[01:46] <ntoll> no (according to my admin feller sitting next to me)
[01:47] <orbin> dngldoof: then update/reload
[01:47] <dngldoof> orbin: I'll try
[01:47] <cwillu> ntoll, I'm suspicious that apt thinks otherwise :)
[01:48] <achandra> cwillu: I wonder if he named sources.list to sources.old then created a new sources.list and just pasted that line if it would work or not...worth a try..
[01:48] <ntoll> I agree... I suspicious that the admin feller doesn't know what he's on about
[01:48] <ntoll> :-)
[01:48] <cwillu> lol
[01:48] <iiiears> lol
[01:48] <achandra> thats too damn funny
[01:48] <k31th> anyone recomend any wiki software /
[01:48] <achandra> quotable..even
[01:48] <Daniel0> how do i install the java plugin for firefox?
[01:49] <iiiears> java or mozcontrol?
[01:49] <firestorm> Hi. Have DHCP set up to a wireless router. Works except my /etc/resolv.conf auto-updates with the incorrect nameserver...i manually change it to my router IP and it works for a while then auto-updates to incorrect value. Any way to prevent resolv.conf from being updated? Alternatively, why is the wrong IP getting there?
[01:49] <achandra> !java
[01:49] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Java For the runtime sun java install sun-java5-jre from the multiverse repository
[01:49] <ntoll> heh... I'm a contract dev here and they're a M$ shop... this is (going to be) the first linux box in the place
[01:49] <daxxar> firestorm, most likely from your dhcpd
[01:49] <cwillu> ntoll: lol, been there, done that
[01:50] <cwillu> ntoll: locate apt.conf pick up that exact filename?
[01:50] <ntoll> quite... I think lunch is calling, and I'm being asked to do something else now... I'm going to have to fix this later
[01:50] <ntoll> ....
[01:50] <firestorm> daxxar: dhcpd: the server end? that is a little device....dhcpcd you mean? if so then what could be wrong there?
[01:50] <waylandbill_> what argument can I pass to kernel to specify runlevel?
[01:50] <achandra> l8r all..
[01:51] <daxxar> firestorm, no, the dhcp server. check the config on the wireless router, is it set up to 'forward' dns addresses? can you specify primary / secondary DNSes manually on the router?
[01:51] <cwillu> ntoll: was that a yes?  because you should check that file for a line relating to proxies and deleted it if its there :)
[01:51] <cwillu> ntoll: lunch!!??  who eats lunch?!
[01:51] <daxxar> firestorm, perhaps you should tell the router just to send the router IP.
[01:51] <ntoll> I do... at my desk atm!!! :-P
[01:52] <iiiears> !nat
[01:52] <ubotu> I know nothing about nat
[01:52] <ntoll> bingo
[01:52] <cwillu> your admin may be on crack :)
[01:52] <ntoll> it was that line... and my admin feller knows nothing... heh...
[01:53] <ntoll> ok... thanks for that... I'll tell him he's wrong (or ask his boss next time)
[01:53] <ntoll> :-)
[01:53] <cwillu> ntoll: probably just wasn't expecting an app to be running over proxy :)
[01:53] <ntoll> quite
[01:53] <cwillu> "they can do that!!??" I've heard before
[01:53] <tishaishii> Where is the "apache path"? To where was installed my apache2?
[01:54] <cwillu> tishaishii: apache gets installed kinda all over the place
[01:54] <firestorm> daxxar: can't find a config option for that :(
[01:54] <ntoll> later....
[01:54] <cwillu> tishaishii: the binary is probably in /usr/bin
[01:54] <cwillu> ttyl ntoll :)
[01:54] <daxxar> firestorm, what brand router?
[01:55] <cwillu>   ". . . yes, a game where people throw ducks at balloons, and nothing is what it  seems. . . " --Homer J. Simpson
[01:55] <linux1> hiya installed xgine and a few codec playback it so much better now not perfect but watchable thanks
[01:55] <finalbeta_> I installed gmailfs thru synaptic, and now I have no idea where it placed stuff and how to use it. little help here.
[01:55] <cwillu> linux1:  :/  guess it'll have to do
[01:56] <cwillu> finalbeta_: try 'man gmailfs'
[01:56] <orbin> finalbeta_: dpkg -L gmailfs
[01:57] <tchize> hello guys
[01:57] <finalbeta_> thnx orbin , no man entrie cwillu
[01:57] <Squall> Hello !
[01:58] <dngldoof> orbin: now I'm trying with the cd-option off. First I tried to edit the sources.list, but it didn't solve anything..
[01:59] <cwillu> dngldoof: what's the problem?
[01:59] <orbin> Squall: ff viii fan?  that brings back memories :)
[02:00] <Squall> Yes ! FFVIII ! :p
[02:00] <Kibou> memories of the worst ff until x2
[02:01] <orbin> hehe
[02:01] <jenda> Oi... I have my dataprojector running on my Acer laptop. It works great... except when I run any sort of movie in totem or xine, the window is simply black.
[02:01] <jenda> everything shows - the desktop'n all, but not the movie.
[02:02] <ciaron> why does apt-get update have so much trouble getting package lists?
[02:02] <ciaron> is gb.archive.ubuntu.com buggered?
[02:02] <jenda> I can see the movie on my laptop LCD, but not on the wall...
[02:02] <cwillu> ciaron, what's the error?
[02:02] <dngldoof> cwillu: my update manager won't update. It's still breezy even after I changed the sources.list and tried to update it from Synaptic
[02:02] <the_Kane> hey all ;)
[02:02] <the_Kane> does annyone here use RealBasic ?
[02:02] <cwillu> dngldoof: can you pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update?
[02:02] <finalbeta_> ON windows that happens because you are using 2 desktops, on windows we shut down the LCD and then everything works on the projector
[02:02] <finalbeta_> duno how to do it in linux
[02:02] <jenda> While when I plug the projector into my desktop PC, it runs movies no prob.
[02:03] <finalbeta_> probably same functions keys
[02:03] <erUSUL> dngldoof: have you used the -d switch (eg sudo update-manager -d)
[02:03] <cwillu> finalbeta_: on windows you can also fix it by turning down hardware acceleration one notch;  probably a similar idea on linux
[02:03] <Juhaz> jenda, xv overlay can usually only show on one display at a time
[02:03] <jenda> hmm
[02:03] <dngldoof> cwillu: just a sec
[02:03] <jenda> Juhaz: OK... any idea how to make it the other display?
[02:04] <dngldoof> erUSUL: yeah, I tried it also..
[02:04] <ciaron> cwillu: Failed to fetch http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-updates/Release.gpg  Bad header line [IP: 85.133.25.7 80] 
[02:04] <avis> i think i may have to configure wpasupplicant which is too hard for me to get network-gnome-manager working with WPA
[02:05] <Squall> How can I get my WEP key ?
[02:05] <dngldoof> cwillu: Is /query ok to you?
[02:05] <cwillu> ciaron: proxy / at work?
[02:05] <jenda> Juhaz: is there a way to tell the xv overlay which one to use?
[02:05] <ciaron> cwillu: nope
[02:06] <Squall> I want to make a Wi-FI
[02:06] <Squall> I have a D-Link 120+
[02:06] <cwillu> dngldoof: /query ?
[02:06] <Juhaz> jenda, probably, but I don't know how. Probably video driver specific too.
[02:06] <ciaron> cwillu: if i try it again it gives me some file not found (local file) error
[02:06] <Juhaz> jenda, you could try using gstreamer-properties to select other video sink that doesn't use xv, it'll be slower but should be just like any other window
[02:06] <tchize> Hello, i have a problem with my ubuntu xorg nvidia driver, the nvidia-glx package ships nvidia kernel 7667 but the linux-restricted-modules ships the 7174,  and of course those 2 don't go along very well
[02:06] <tishaishii> I need to build or install mod_perl2 on Ubuntu. How can I do it?
[02:06] <dngldoof> cwillu: if I send the log to you via /query?
[02:06] <ciaron> but i guess thats because it hasn't cleaned up properly from the previous error
[02:06] <cwillu> dngldoof: sure, give it a shot
[02:07] <finalbeta_> avis: wpa_supplicant seems to be installed on ubuntu by default, if you install the network manager applet it can configure it automaticly. But I can't get my card to work tru it using 54Mbit, only 11Mbit
[02:07] <dngldoof> ok
[02:07] <Juhaz> jenda, and xine has similar setting somewhere no doubt
[02:07] <heres> hey
[02:07] <heres> is there a way to install ubuntu trough ssh on a debian box?
[02:07] <cwillu> ciaron: kubuntu?
[02:07] <avis> finalbeta_, well i dont know about a/g but i can't even get authenticated with WPA.  do you see that anywhere ?
[02:07] <ciaron> cwillu: nope ubunutu server edition
[02:08] <void^> heres: debootstrap
[02:08] <jenda> Juhaz: looking...
[02:08] <heres> void^: huh?
[02:08] <cwillu> ciaron: well, a bit of a long shot, but check if you have an apt.conf file, and if that file has a line to do with proxy, delete it
[02:08] <finalbeta_> avis:  if you install the network manager applet it can configure it automaticly. you will be able to use wpa then
[02:08] <finalbeta_> duno what package it is
[02:09] <ciaron> cwillu: it has "Acquire::http::Proxy "false";
[02:09] <hector3d> nobody knows what package it is,
[02:09] <cwillu> ciaron: okay, delete that line, and sudo \apt-get update again
[02:09] <Squall> I would like to put a PC in Wifi network. I have a chart D-Link 120+.   I miss just key WEP of my Wifi modem. Where then I to find it?
[02:09] <hector3d> i heard 4 times about allready
[02:09] <cwillu> dngldoof: still there?
[02:10] <ciaron> cwillu: its doing an update just now from the sources that did work, i'll let you know what happens later, cheers for the help
[02:10] <tishaishii> How to install mod_perl2 on Ubuntu for AMDx64? Help me, enyone
[02:10] <finalbeta_> avis: network-manager-gnome << this can handle WPA, but seems to make the card operate in wireless B
[02:10] <Squall> I would like to put a PC in Wifi network. I have a chart D-Link 120+.   I miss just key WEP of my Wifi modem. Where then I to find it?
[02:10] <hector3d> network-manager-gnome didnt ask any thing about wpa :(
[02:10] <finalbeta_> inside the wifi modem config dialog
[02:11] <jenda> Juhaz: hmm... it asks me for the name of the video display... if I could find out which one the external RGB is, it would make it a lot easier...
[02:11] <Draconicus> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave <--- This guide doesn't seem to be working...
[02:11] <Squall> How can i do to see the wifi config dialog ?
[02:11] <finalbeta_> hector3d: it's not installed by default right? It asked a key here, works fine.
[02:11] <finalbeta_> Read the modem manual
[02:11] <cwillu> dngldoof: did you have synaptic open at any time while you changed sources.list?
[02:12] <KooT> Hello. I got problem, i just installed kubuntu 6.06 in text mode, but installedr didnt ask me about username and password, so i have add new one in recovery mode (adduser), but now i can not sudo su - into root, all any other command with sudo dont work, how to fix it?
[02:12] <hector3d> finalbeta_: ok thanks
[02:12] <KooT> ;] 
[02:12] <Draconicus> All it managed to do was make my Firefox session unable to detect an absence of plugins for certain objects on the page.
[02:12] <cwillu> KooT: I believe you need to add yourself to the group 'wheel'
[02:12] <Solon12> is there any way to make it so that when i push some key combination like Alt+1, ubuntu will automatically type a predetermined line of text? I use certain lines of text over and over during the same and this would save a lot of time
[02:12] <Squall> How can i do to see the wifi config dialog ?
[02:12] <cwillu> KooT: and then logout/back in
[02:12] <cwillu> KooT: I'll double check it though
[02:13] <edneymatias> hello
[02:13] <longkerdandy> anyone can recommend me a password manager?
[02:13] <dngldoof> cwillu: I think not..
[02:13] <finalbeta_> Squall: your access point must have some kind of configuration panel. the key will be in it. You will need the manual to know how to log into the access point/modem
[02:13] <KooT> cwillu: i cant find wheel in /etc/group
[02:13] <cwillu> dngldoof: can you paste your sources.list?
[02:13] <dngldoof> of course
[02:13] <cwillu> KooT: ya, my mistake, group changed
[02:14] <dngldoof> cwillu: I'll use the same 'talk'
[02:14] <cwillu> yep
[02:14] <Draconicus> Shockwave on Linux is a big topic. I'm surprised nobody has jumped to help me.
[02:14] <Squall> Ok
[02:15] <hector3d> Another question: what about vmnet module installed with vmware-player, where are they? I cant modprobe this module because it seems they were installed in different directory than kernel modules-
[02:15] <cwillu> KooT: look at  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[02:15] <KooT> cwillu: ok, thak You ;)
[02:15] <cwillu> the group is '
[02:15] <cwillu> admin' for the record
[02:15] <onewaytolive17> can someone tell me how many different locales their are?
[02:16] <hector3d> Consequence: the configure script of vmware-player isnt able to finish because this module isnt loaded :\
[02:16] <dngldoof> cwillu: hmm. It seems that I once again saved the sources.list somewhere else than /etc/apt/ ..
[02:17] <cwillu> heh
[02:17] <cwillu> it happens :)
[02:17] <cwillu> make sure you're sudo'd etc
[02:17] <Zalo> why can't I get the module-assistant installed? everything else using apt-get works?
[02:18] <orbin> onewaytolive17: sys >prefs >k/b > layout tab > add
[02:18] <dngldoof> cwillu: yeah. It's kind of hard, because it's my first time with Linux. I installed this yesterday ^^
[02:18] <KenSentMe> Zalo: what error do you get?
[02:18] <cwillu> dngldoof: np, just takes some getting-used-to
[02:19] <dngldoof> cwillu: of course. Check the 'talk' now
[02:19] <cwillu> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list should work to let you edit and save back in the original location (rather than your home folder or such)
[02:19] <finalbeta_> getting used to, and getting used to workarounds for the various bugs :p
[02:19] <Zalo> package module-assistant is not available, but is referred to by another package
[02:19] <onewaytolive17> um im doing this thing called generating locales on my terminal.... right now its on en_in.UTF8; this is taking forever, how many does it need to go through
[02:20] <cwillu> dngldoof: you're trying to get to dapper, right?  do the sudo command and change it again;  it should work this time (make sure synaptic is closed of course)
[02:20] <xwind_> this puzzles me: i can pxe boot and load the ubuntu-installer from a server in my LAN which indicates the dhcp is working fine BUT network auto configuration fails in the middle of the install.
[02:20] <slider> hi d00dz
[02:20] <dngldoof> cwillu: yeah, dapper it is. Now I'll just change the 'breezy's to 'dapper's?
[02:21] <cwillu> yep
[02:21] <Draconicus> MY EYES!
[02:21] <Draconicus> slider: That sort of language is discouraged.
[02:21] <xwind_> is it not that when the target workstation successfully boots (pxe) that the dhcp server is able to assign an IP to the workstation?
[02:21] <onewaytolive17> orbin, um im doing this thing called generating locales on my terminal.... right now its on en_in.UTF8; this is taking forever, how many does it need to go through
[02:21] <xwind_> i am trying to do a network install.
[02:22] <dngldoof> cwillu: are dapper-backports ok?
[02:22] <slider> I need help with installing openSUSE 10.1
[02:22] <Schalken> has anyone else got glitchy audio from the 'audio file preview' feature in Nautilus?
[02:22] <Squall> I can help you slider :)
[02:22] <cwillu> dngldoof: come to think of it, this might be easier
[02:22] <Squall> I had Open Suse 10.0
[02:22] <cwillu> gksudo "update-manager"
[02:22] <slider> thanks sqall!
[02:22] <cwillu> apparently it should handle everything automatically
[02:22] <Draconicus> This is not the openSUSE channel, though...
[02:22] <waylandbill_> slider, try #suse
[02:23] <dngldoof> cwillu: now apt-get found the dapper's
[02:23] <slider> ok, thanks
[02:23] <cwillu> dngldoof: don't upgrade yet
[02:23] <dngldoof> cwillu: so it's time for another beer! ok, I won't upgrade.
[02:23] <cwillu> lol
[02:24] <dngldoof> o/
[02:24] <waylandbill_> :)
[02:24] <cwillu> dngldoof: double check in synaptic that ubuntu-desktop is installed
[02:24] <Draconicus> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave <--- This guide doesn't seem to be working...
[02:24] <Draconicus> All it managed to do was make my Firefox session unable to detect an absence of plugins for certain objects on the page.
[02:24] <cwillu> if it is, then go ahead and apt-get dist-upgrade after you apt-get update
[02:24] <onewaytolive17> can someone please tell me how many locales their are????? my terminal is in a state called "generating locales" and its taking forever
[02:24] <cwillu> _then_ go have your beer :)
[02:25] <orbin> onewaytolive17: well an apt search gives these, but i don't know if these are the locale packages or not: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16325
[02:25] <pjfc> does anyone know how to get wine working on dapper amd64
[02:25] <dngldoof> cwillu: check the 'talk' again. It's the 'apt-get update' result
[02:25] <Schalken> pjfc: wine emultes a 32bit windows environment, therefre needs to run on a 32bit OS
[02:25] <dngldoof> now for the beer!
[02:26] <Schalken> pjfc: AFAIK

[02:32] <pjfc> Toma: I was following the direction on the winon64bit website.  It never got to the stage of downloading the source.  My newness to these sort of things leaves at a disadvantage.  I don't know when a command line statement is calling a native command or referring to a script.
[02:32] <dngldoof> cwillu: now it's updating :)
[02:32] <cwillu> yippee!
[02:32] <dngldoof> cwillu: are you in Canada?
[02:32] <cwillu> yep
[02:33] <Toma-> pjfc: ok :D whats the website again? ill guide you thru
[02:33] <dngldoof> cwillu: do you have a mid-summer-party over there?
[02:33] <Sjoerd-> how do I remove a program that I installed via apt-get install? ( CLI )
[02:33] <snoops> apt-get remove program sjoerd
[02:33] <Toma-> Sjoerd-: apt-get remove
[02:33] <cwillu> dngldoof: in what sense?
[02:33] <Sjoerd-> thanks
[02:33] <Toma-> kind of an oxymoron really...
[02:33] <cwillu> dngldoof: did I leave a forum open that I shouldn't have?
[02:33] <pjfc> Toma: To go through the step I have to log in as root.  I'll be right back
[02:34] <Toma-> silly pjfc
[02:34] <Fee^> Has anyone successfully been able to get fancontrol/pwmconfig to work in Dapper?
[02:34] <dngldoof> cwillu: well, do you have any kind of party? Here in Finland it's like the biggest party of the year.
[02:34] <kazil> yo, whats the command for installing in terminal... dkgp? i know it has 4 chars :)
[02:34] <kazil> dkgt -i?
[02:34] <Fee^> dpkg
[02:34] <Toma-> kazil: dpkg -i
[02:34] <kazil> woot :) thx
[02:34] <dngldoof> cwillu: I don't think that forum will be interesting to anyone..
[02:34] <Toma-> or "deb package" for long :D
[02:35] <cwillu> I don't believe there's anything official, but a group of friends have a drinking tradition coming up
[02:35] <kazil> cwillu: which forum? me likey forums :)
[02:35] <cwillu> dngldoof: not that one, there's another forum on a subdomain :p
[02:35] <Draconicus> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave <--- This guide has yet to work for me.
[02:35] <cwillu> kazil: no offense, but you're not invited;  they barely let me on it, and it's on my own damn server :)
[02:36] <kazil> lol :)
[02:36] <cwillu> kazil: btw, dapper has a nice gui tool that should launch if you double click the .deb file in nautilus
[02:36] <Schalken> has anyone used gwget before?
[02:36] <Kgentux> I need some help here with X.org resolutions : My modes line runs like this : Modes "1024x768" "1280x1024" ...........
[02:36] <Toma-> !fixres
[02:36] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[02:36] <kazil> cwillu: hm? i`ve got ubuntu 5.1 that`s all i know :)
[02:37] <Kgentux> The problem is even if I select 1024x768 as default , my Virtual screen is 1280x1024
[02:37] <Toma-> pjfc: really, you dont EVER have to login as root.
[02:37] <pjfc> Toma: the link is http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit go to the bottom of the page.
[02:37] <cwillu> kazil: 5.10?  that's so October of last year :)
[02:37] <ciaron> is there anything i should do before apt-get'ing an updated kernal image?
[02:37] <cwillu> (and it's 5.10 (ten) not 5.1(one)) :)
[02:37] <dngldoof> cwillu: leave it open if you wish.. I don't mind :)
[02:37] <kazil> oh yeah! where can i see what i`ve got? breezy, dapper whatever
[02:37] <kazil> cwillu: :P
[02:37] <cwillu> 5.10 is breezy, you might wanna upgrade to dapper
[02:37] <Toma-> pjfc: hit ctl-alt-backspace and login as your normal user, before you break something, please :)
[02:38] <Schalken> ciaron: i changed mine without doing anything before hand. just synaptic'd it and restarted.
[02:38] <kazil> cwillu: i know it`s october last year... i`ve got it like in february :D
[02:38] <cwillu> ciaron: not really, apt should take care of everything fine, and the old will still be there if the new doesn't work
[02:38] <ciaron> grand, cheers
[02:38] <cwillu> ubotu tell kazil about upgrade
[02:38] <kazil> cwillu: why would i liked to upgrade i don`t even know how to use thus
[02:38] <Toma-> i wonder if i made all those people kill their x servers :/
[02:38] <kazil> i mean this
[02:38] <monzie> Is there any good visualization software in Ubuntu?
 cwillu wants you to know: Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> lol :D
[02:39] <cwillu> kazil: because half the instructions we're giving you for media is based on that (there were alot of video/media changes for dapper I believe)
[02:39] <Toma-> monzie: visulaisation?
[02:39] <Toma-> *drunk spelling*
[02:39] <Toma-> pjfc: you there?
[02:39] <arno> Hello. I just installed VMware Server and I'm asked to connect to a VMware host... What should I answer?
[02:39] <kazil> cwillu: a kick in the monitor and it will work for 5.10 too :D
[02:39] <arno> thanks for your help
[02:39] <Bazzi> arno: localhost, usually
[02:39] <cwillu> lol
[02:40] <kazil> is that free ship it still available for dapper?
[02:40] <pjfc> Toma: Ya, I'm back (out of root) Thanks
[02:40] <cwillu> kazil: but seriously, there's alot of polish put into dapper, you might want to do it :)
[02:40] <arno> Bazzi : it doesn't work
[02:40] <cwillu> kazil: yep, mine are due in 4 weeks or so
[02:40] <Toma-> pjfc: ok, have you created these links?
[02:40] <monzie> Toma-:
[02:40] <Bazzi> arno then it is not installed properly :(
[02:40] <Sjoerd-> is there any way I can undo remove I did via command line?
[02:40] <tinklepants> polish??
[02:40] <monzie> Toma-: scientific visualization..
[02:40] <Draconicus> The official Ubuntu Shockwave guide, a recent development, does NOT work, apparently. Can somebody give some input on this?
[02:40] <kazil> cwillu: i don`t unterstand your last writingz
[02:40] <cwillu> kazil: also, that page has a nice gui tool to do the upgrade automatically (no messing with sources.list neccessary)
[02:40] <kismet> Hi All! There is a way to change the widget used by openoffice so that it looks like KDE even under GNOME?
[02:40] <arno> Bazzi : What should I do?
[02:40] <cmk> c moi
[02:40] <pjfc> Toma the links I have created last week.  Are they still active
[02:40] <der0b> is there anything more annoying than trying to configure netcrap wifi cards in linux? (sorry, just needed to complain)
[02:41] <cwillu> kazil: my shipit cd's for dapper, i.e., yes, you can still get free cd's :)
[02:41] <Bazzi> arno: uninstall and reinstall
[02:41] <cmk> how are you
[02:41] <Toma-> monzie: hmmm :/ try synaptic and search under Name + Description
[02:41] <Toma-> pjfc: goody.
[02:41] <cmk> c moi
[02:41] <cwillu> kismet: investigate the themes preference
[02:41] <kazil> cwillu: oh! well... what`s the link? shipit.ubuntu.com?
[02:41] <kazil> :D
[02:41] <cwillu> in system
[02:41] <cmk> i like informatique
[02:41] <cwillu> ubuntu.com, and go look at it :)
[02:41] <arno> How do you uninstall Bazzi?
[02:41] <tinklepants> who else is drunk in here??
[02:42] <cmk> i don't speak english
[02:42] <Pjott> http://home.no.net/randazzo/error.txt  <-- I get that error when I try to make my Keyboard Norwegian
[02:42] <Toma-> I em drunk :(
[02:42] <kazil> toma, good for ya :D
[02:42] <Bazzi> arno there must be some sort of uninstaller
[02:42] <kismet> cwillu, I want only openoffice to use KDE widget not whole Gnome session...
[02:42] <cwillu> brb
[02:42] <Sjoerd-> Is there any way to get back a folder I removed via command line?
[02:42] <Zalo> got the fglrx driver working now, so how do i enable 1920x1200 res? :)
[02:43] <Fee^> Sjoerd-, no, that's the magic of *nix, rm is forever
[02:43] <erUSUL> Sjoerd-: not an easy one :(
[02:43] <cwillu> kismet: hmm;  I _think_ there's a way to specify a theme for a specific app, but I'm not sure where
[02:43] <cwillu> kismet: sorry, that's all I got :/
[02:43] <cmk> who speak french
[02:43] <Toma-> pjfc: ok run this in a terminal "cd /tmp && wget http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wine/wine-0.9.16.tar.bz2 && tar -jxf wine-0.9.16.tar.bz2"
[02:43] <kazil> argh..  i don`t like registrations... too many typing... so many personal questions... i`m shy :D
[02:43] <jrib> Sjoerd-: not if you used rm
[02:43] <linux1> hiya how do you change the boot order on dual boot so pc boot into windows as first proity
[02:43] <Sjoerd-> I wanted to remove my awstats folder and the apache2 one is gone now :)
[02:43] <Fee^> bonjour cmk
[02:43] <Sjoerd-> jrib: rm?
[02:43] <cmk> i
[02:43] <adaran> if i want to set my default umask, where'd be the right spot to change it?
[02:43] <waylandbill_> Sjoerd-, get it off your backup. :-)
[02:43] <erUSUL> Sjoerd-: apt-cache search undelete
[02:43] <cmk> how are you fee
[02:44] <Pjott> Can anyone please help? :)
[02:44] <erUSUL> !anyone
[02:44] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[02:44] <jrib> Sjoerd-: the command rm, if you used mv to move it to ~/.Trash then you could move it back
[02:44] <Pjott> haha
[02:44] <Fee^> cmk: i'm well :)
[02:44] <Pjott> http://home.no.net/randazzo/error.txt  <-- I get that error when I try to make my Keyboard Norwegian
[02:44] <Sjoerd-> jrib: I don't t hink there is a trash on the server package is there?
[02:44] <pjfc> Toma: so far nothing happening just a ">"
[02:45] <Toma-> pjfc: you pressed \ at the end before you hit enter :)
[02:45] <kazil> they won`t be reading my mind! no sir! 5.10 is goooood enough for me!
[02:45] <Draconicus> Doesn't ANYONE care about Shockwave? People have been trying to get it to run natively on Linux for years! This is closer to feeling native than anything imagined before! Why will no one help me with it?!
[02:45] <tinklepants> *hiccupss*
[02:45] <cmk> do you speak french fee?
[02:45] <Pjott> fee fee :p
[02:45] <Toma-> Draconicus: because no-ones used it in years?
[02:46] <jrib> Sjoerd-: how did you delete the folder?
[02:46] <erUSUL> Pjott: it seems you hitted a bug. have you reported it in lounchpad. search there and in the forums to see if anybody else had the same problem
[02:46] <pjfc> Toma: no I just cut and past the command.  I'll try again.
[02:46] <Draconicus> Toma-: There are still old games that I'd like to play...
[02:46] <kazil> our house... is in the middle of our street...
[02:46] <Toma-> pjfc: obviously dont put the "s in there
[02:46] <Fee^> cmk: en peu
[02:46] <Fee^> <-american
[02:46] <Sjoerd-> jrib: I used mc to delete it
[02:46] <Pjott> erUSUL: Lounchpad ?
[02:46] <cmk> a bientot
[02:46] <Fee^> :)
[02:47] <cmk> ok
[02:47] <kazil> wehey! french fries :D
[02:47] <Draconicus> Well hell, you're going to lose some potential Ubuntu users that want to play Shockwave games. Your loss.
[02:47] <pjfc> Toma: A quote was included in my first attempt, things are happening now.
[02:47] <Toma-> pjfc: awesome :)
[02:47] <Draconicus> I'm usually very supportive of this distro.
[02:47] <Pjott> I'll try to re-install :p
[02:47] <mitcheloc> hey guys, i just reformatted one of my computers, stuck ubuntu on and i can't get the X-Display to start, i don't think it's recognizing my graphics driver....i grabbed the ati drivers and tried to run them, they seemed to install, no luck on reboot, how do i configure X via command line to use the drivers I installed? Please help! =)
[02:48] <kazil> cwillu, where r u? here nobody listens to me but u :D
[02:48] <jrib> Sjoerd-: ah I am not familiar with how mc deletes.  For example nautilus in gnome, just moves files to a .Trash.  I bet mc just deletes it completely and has no undo, but you could always use locate to search for what you deleted after doing a 'sudo update-db'
[02:48] <pjfc> Toma: It's done and waiting in /tmp$
[02:48] <imbrandon> mitcheloc, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:48] <Toma-> pjfc: ok, cd into the newly created wine dir
[02:48] <kazil> hhmmm.... i think i need something more...
[02:48] <kazil> oh yes! totem-xine
[02:48] <orbin> mitcheloc: what video card do you have?
[02:48] <Fee^> has anyone played with the new Wine to note any improvements?
[02:49] <arno> When I reinstall VMware server I have : Setup is unable to find the "vmware" program on your machine. Please make sure it is installed. Do you want to specify the location of this program by hand?.... Why? thanks
[02:49] <pjfc> Toma: done
[02:49] <Toma-> pjfc: then run "LDFLAGS="-L/lib32 -L/usr/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib32"  ./configure" while leaving out ONLY the first and last quote.
[02:49] <Sjoerd-> jrib: I tried to apt-get apache2 again but it didn't place back the folder in /etc/
[02:49] <mitcheloc> imbrandon: i'm trying right now
[02:50] <jrib> Sjoerd-: you could try to 'aptitude purge apache2' and then 'aptitude install apache2' again
[02:50] <pjfc> Toma: done.  It seems to have liked that better.
[02:50] <mitcheloc> orbin: i would have to pull out the card to check...let me try imbrandon's comand first, i know i always get their 8500+ drivers from the website
[02:50] <Sjoerd-> jrib: Thanks
[02:50] <Toma-> pjfc: :) itll probably error, but lets hope it doesnt.
[02:51] <pjfc> Toma: should I go ahead with the "make depend"
[02:51] <Toma-> pjfc: did it all work?
[02:51] <Sjoerd-> jrib: Wow that is strange, it is back now - with all my config files still intact ...
[02:51] <kazil> wish me good luck room... i`m off to my first instalation in ubuntu...
[02:51] <finalbeta> does ubuntu save downloaded packages or does it have massive logfiles? afrer two days I'm up to 6.5gig disk space and I didn't even install anything big
[02:51] <jrib> Sjoerd-: that is strange
[02:51] <Sjoerd-> jrib: Oh wait it's not - i'm looking on the wrong server
[02:52] <Toma-> finalbeta: "sudo apt-get autoclean"
[02:52] <Sjoerd-> jrib: Maybe I should do something else, I same way to confused :)
[02:52] <Toma-> finalbeta: and  i personally use "sudo apt-get clean"
[02:52] <arno> ???
[02:52] <jrib> Sjoerd-: did that not bring back the /etc/apache2/ directory?
[02:52] <finalbeta> thnx Toma-
[02:52] <Toma-> np finalbeta
[02:52] <Sjoerd-> jrib: no
[02:52] <mitcheloc> imbrandon: i ran the command, rebooted and it booted fine, now i've got to reconfigure for my secondary monitor...
[02:53] <Sjoerd-> jrib: I can steal it from the other server though, if needed
[02:53] <jrib> Sjoerd-: hmm ok, that should have worked though
[02:53] <pjfc> Toma: on "make depend" I get "make: *** No rule to make target `depend'.  Stop."
[02:53] <Toma-> pjfc: 1 moment
[02:54] <Sjoerd-> jrib: I did exactly as you sad, should I get the files from other server?
[02:54] <YoussefAssad> hi folks
[02:54] <Sjoerd-> jrib: or is there some other way? I would prefer a clean installation..
[02:54] <jrib> Sjoerd-: sure, I don't what else to suggest
[02:55] <Toma-> pjfc: just run make
[02:55] <YoussefAssad> I have these files in / which are annoying me when I need to tab complete to a path. /usplash_fifo and /debootstrap/ - necessary?
[02:55] <jrib> Sjoerd-: well you can purge and then check it's status after doing so to make sure the config files are not there, use dpkg -l apache2
[02:56] <Toma-> YoussefAssad: youre running dapper?
[02:56] <YoussefAssad> Toma-: yessir
[02:56] <Toma-> YoussefAssad: id say its safe............ (MAYBE) dont delte. ONLY mv them first.
[02:56] <Toma-> *delete
[02:56] <arno> When I reinstall VMware server I have : Setup is unable to find the "vmware" program on your machine. Please make sure it is installed. Do you want to specify the location of this program by hand?.... Why? thanks
[02:56] <Sjoerd-> jrib: http://pastebin.ca/69794
[02:57] <Toma-> arno: contact your VMWARE distributor for help with it
[02:57] <jrib> Sjoerd-: that's before doing 'aptitude purge apache2' right?
[02:57] <YoussefAssad> Toma-: that's more dangerous than you think. I don't have a working optical drive, so if it b0rks something badly...
[02:57] <Toma-> YoussefAssad: oh.
[02:57] <pjfc> Toma: I retried the link statements.  The final one (libfreetype) gives an error ": Permission denied"
[02:57] <Sjoerd-> jrib: I already did that, but I will do it again, and pastebin it as well
[02:58] <Toma-> YoussefAssad: well, it wont effect /boot or grub at all, so you can always enter recovery mode
[02:58] <mitcheloc> guys, i found this on a website online....  "f you are using an official ubuntu kernel there is no need to dick around with the rpm file from the ATI website - it will just get unnecessarily messy - SO DON'T, OK?"
[02:58] <mitcheloc> so i already ran the alian -d rpm command to install it, should i uninstall and follow this?
[02:58] <Sjoerd-> jrib: http://pastebin.ca/69795
[02:59] <jrib> ubotu: tell mitcheloc about ati
[02:59] <Toma-> pjfc: ok, run "sudo -s" enter your password, then do the cd /usr/lib32 then ln -s blah and so on
[02:59] <mitcheloc> jrib: thanks
[02:59] <jrib> Sjoerd-: hrmm it's not purging apache for some reason... can you pastebin the aptitude output?
[02:59] <Toma-> mitcheloc: yeh, dont use ATI's drivers.
[02:59] <Sjoerd-> jrib: It should be there.
[02:59] <Toma-> mitcheloc: make sure you purge the configs from it too
[03:00] <finalbeta> I'm using ati's driver, working fine with compiz (after some bugfixing)
[03:00] <jrib> Sjoerd-: never mind, I see it
[03:00] <Toma-> mitcheloc: as it, apt-get remove --purge ati_blah
[03:00] <YoussefAssad> Toma-: reasonable point. Will try, thanks
[03:00] <Toma-> YoussefAssad: good luck :D~
[03:00] <YoussefAssad> :)
[03:01] <Toma-> gawd i hate being capped :( downloading wine at 6kb/s is torture.
[03:01] <jrib> Sjoerd-: and the 'dpkg -l apache2', is the one on that paste after purging?
[03:01] <Sjoerd-> jrib: after the first one, before the second one
[03:02] <jrib> Sjoerd-: ok, can see if it still says ii at the beginning now?
[03:02] <Sjoerd-> jrib: It gives out the same when I type the command again
[03:02] <Sjoerd-> jrib: ii?
[03:02] <gnomefreak> someone have dapper with the us.archive.com repos?
[03:02] <jrib> Sjoerd-: #
[03:02] <jrib> ii  apache2        2.0.55-4ubuntu next generation, scalable, extendable web se
[03:02] <_bt> why does file > quit on firefox close every instance of it ?
[03:03] <Sjoerd-> jrib: oh, there seems to be a difference after all. It says rn now
[03:03] <Toma-> _bt: not sure....
[03:03] <Sjoerd-> jrib: Wait let me pastebin it.
[03:03] <Toma-> _bt: file a bug with mozilla! :)
[03:04] <jrib> Sjoerd-: it's ok, now try to install apache again
[03:04] <kazil> long live bill gates!
[03:04] <eanders> anyone here know how to install a basic gui (say xfce) on top of ubuntu server?
[03:04] <Toma-> whos bill gates?
[03:04] <Sjoerd-> jrib: http://pastebin.ca/69803
[03:04] <_bt> Toma-, does it do the same for you ?
[03:04] <LPent> Hi, I messed up my system...big time. I need to re-install Ubuntu, but before I do, I want to copy my /home folder (completely). Can I do this from the Live CD?
[03:04] <Toma-> _bt: yeh.
[03:04] <pjfc> Toma: I ran the LDFLAGS command again this time I got more ouput  LDFLAGS="-L/lib32 -L/usr/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib32"  ./configure

[03:04] <_bt> lpent, maybe we can help you sort your system out!
[03:05] <gnomefreak> pjfc: use pastebin next time
[03:05] <Toma-> pjfc: dont paste in here again, or you'll be banned.
[03:05] <jrib> ubotu: tell pjfc about paste
[03:05] <kazil> atleast this damn xp doesn`t show u the crap it has in it...
[03:05] <Zalo> how to start fglrx-control??
[03:05] <orbin> LPent: might want to make a home partition next time
[03:05] <gnomefreak> pjfc: did you install build-essential?
[03:05] <LPent> _bt: I tried to install the alsa-driver because my headphones were not working. Now I can't login to the gui and get the error that libasound.so.2 does not exist
[03:06] <pjfc> Toma: Thanks for the advice, I'm obviously new.
[03:06] <Toma-> god im fat :(
[03:06] <LPent> orbin: I am going to do this now ;-)
[03:06] <Sjoerd-> jrib: I did apt-get install apache2 http://pastebin.ca/69805 .. still no apache2 folder :(
[03:06] <Toma-> pjfc: :) run "sudo apt-get install build-essential"
[03:06] <_bt> lpent did you use apt-get ?
[03:06] <pjfc> I'm getting a little round myself
[03:06] <LPent> _bt: yes
[03:07] <kazil> why have they made it sooooo difficult to make something work if u don`t have ic?
[03:07] <_bt> LPent, have you tried logging into the console (alt+ctrl+f1) , and removing the alsa package you installed?
[03:07] <Real-RIOT> hi
[03:07] <Real-RIOT> I've got a problem with cyrus and mysql-auth.. the problem is that i'm using virtual domains... as a login i use for example foo@foo.de and the correct password... now when i look in the mysql.log I can only see the part in front of the @domainname... seems that cyrus strips the domainname from the login
[03:07] <Real-RIOT> so the login fails...
[03:07] <Toma-> kazil: ic?
[03:07] <MrKeuner> hi, Can the macosx's native partition be shrinked in order to install ubuntu as dual boot? Or do I have to remove all data, partition and then reinstall macosx?
[03:07] <pjfc> Toma: "build essentials is already newest version"
[03:07] <jrib> Sjoerd-: oh I know why! one sec
[03:07] <Toma-> kazil: are you talking about anything in aprticular or just generally flaming?
[03:07] <Toma-> pjfc: ok..
[03:07] <kazil> internet connection
[03:07] <gnomefreak> kazil: instead of ranting how about telling us what issue you are having and see if we can help you
[03:07] <Toma-> kazil: wireless? ppp? adsl?
[03:08] <kazil> toma: notta!
[03:08] <roxlu> hi all!
[03:08] <LPent> _bt, I did manage that, but I was a bit careless, and it strated to uninstall all kinds of stuff. Now I can't even get into a console anymore. I was up half the night trying to rescue things, but I think re-installing is my best bet. Just hope I can save my home-dir to another partition
[03:08] <roxlu> Can anyone maybe help me a bit with, firewall, router /  natd ...
[03:08] <Toma-> carrier pidgeon ISP?
[03:08] <MrKeuner> !help
[03:08] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[03:08] <roxlu> ipfw, is only a firewall application which opens/blocks ports, right?
[03:08] <jrib> Sjoerd-: do the purge and install with the apache2-common package
[03:09] <_bt> LPent, you should be able to
[03:09] <Real-RIOT> perhaps someone has an idea why the username is incorrect via pam?
[03:09] <LPent> _bt: well, I'm gonna try...just wanted to make sure. thnx
[03:09] <_bt> LPent, you will need somewhere to copy it tho
[03:09] <kazil> gnomefreak: i`m sitting here for 3 days now, and i still can`t playback music!
[03:09] <Toma-> pjfc: can you put a copy of config.log on pastebin?
[03:09] <erUSUL> roxlu: it is an aplication to manage the firewall built in BSD's kernels afaik. for linux you have iptables
[03:09] <gnomefreak> kazil: what type of file format and do your speakers work for any sounds?
[03:10] <roxlu> oke thanx erUSUL ... I want to make a port lets say 1999 available to the outside world and It must 'redirect/forward' to an IP number like 192.168.1.10
[03:10] <kazil> gnomefreak: actually i have a general problem. this ubuntu look s great and works perfectly, only if the user has a n internet connection. but if some1 has not access to the internet?
[03:10] <pjfc> Toma: in wine directory there are to files with 'make' in their names  'Makefile.in' and 'Make.rules.in'.  --- What's paste bin?
[03:11] <roxlu> do I need to open the port using ipfw.. and use natd to let it go to 192.168.1.10 ?
[03:11] <mitcheloc> man, i got my screen working (hopefully 100%) , thanks guys!!!! ubuntu looks GORGEUS on my apple cinema 23"!!!
[03:11] <Toma-> pjfc: dont worry about them.
[03:11] <Toma-> ubotu tell pjfc about pastebin
[03:11] <Toma-> !pastebin
[03:11] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[03:11] <gnomefreak> kazil: so what your saying is that sound works fine you here as a troll?
[03:11] <Toma-> kazil: file a bug?
[03:11] <Sjoerd-> jrib: No luck :( - http://pastebin.ca/69806
[03:12] <erUSUL> roxlu: i do not know how i know i little bit about iptables but nothing about ipfw. Ask in a BSD forum
[03:12] <erUSUL> roxlu: or chat room
[03:12] <roxlu> ok
[03:12] <jrib> Sjoerd-: you didn't purge apache2-common did you? I don't see it on the pastebin
[03:13] <mathew-ef> Does anybody knows how to use the "ifupdown.sh" in Ununti 6.06 for WPA wireless setup?
[03:13] <Sjoerd-> jrib: ah.. ok
[03:13] <erUSUL> roxlu: sorry for not being of any help :(
[03:13] <roxlu> doesn't matter! thanx anyway!
[03:14] <MrKeuner> hi, Can the macosx's native partition be shrinked in order to install ubuntu as dual boot? Or do I have to remove all data, partition and then reinstall macosx?
[03:14] <mathew-ef> Does anybody knows how to use the "ifupdown.sh" in Ubuntu 6.06 for WPA wireless setup?
[03:14] <Toma-> MrKeuner: apparently with parted you can
[03:15] <Sjoerd-> jrib: Alright that worked, thanks for your time :)
[03:15] <imbrandon> MrKeuner, afaik you have to delete it and recreate it ( linux cant write HPFS+ so you might want to also create a fat32 part to transferfiles too )
[03:15] <pjfc> Toma: I have pasted it
[03:15] <flyleaf> ssd
[03:15] <Toma-> pjfc: whats the link to your pastebin site?
[03:15] <jrib> Sjoerd-: np, make sure you install apache2 now too, since that may have been removed when you removed apache2-common.  It turns out apache2-common is a dep of apache2 and apache2-common is what actually owns the directory you lost
[03:15] <pjfc> Toma: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16326
[03:16] <Toma-> thx
[03:16] <snoops> mitcheloc just wait till you try out xgl and compiz :)
[03:17] <rigonatti> !synce
[03:17] <ubotu> I know nothing about synce
[03:17] <rigonatti> :(
[03:17] <Toma-> pjfc: ahhh you need that ia32lib package or something...
[03:17] <Toma-> hang on
[03:17] <mitcheloc> snoops: that sounds nice! how? =)
[03:17] <mitcheloc> ubotu tell mitcheloc about xgl
[03:17] <mitcheloc> ^ is that the guide i want?
[03:18] <Zalo> what is wrong when everything locks up when i X, using fglrx
[03:18] <Zalo> ?
[03:18] <Toma-> pjfc: 'sudo apt-get install ia32-libs'
[03:18] <rigonatti> does anyone know where can I find hot to install Synce to Dapper ?
[03:18] <Zalo> exit x that is
[03:18] <Toma-> rigonatti: what is Synce?
[03:18] <snoops> what's your setup mitcheloc? nvidia card I guess?
[03:19] <mwe> Zalo: poor ATI coders probably. check the log though
[03:19] <pjfc> Toma: its says I already have the newest version
[03:19] <Toma-> pjfc: hmm ok
[03:19] <tinklepants> fuck shockwave & the malware horse it rode in on
[03:19] <linux1> lol
[03:19] <Toma-> !coc
[03:19] <orbin> that's not very nice
[03:19] <ubotu> The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/
[03:19] <snoops> you mean macromedia now adobe tinklepants?
[03:20] <Toma-> tinklepants: read the code of conduct and ask/complain again.
[03:20] <tinklepants> yes
[03:20] <mitcheloc> snoops: i have an ati card, it's a bit older, probably 64mb's
[03:20] <mitcheloc> via lspci -> ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200] 
[03:20] <snoops> k.. I'll see if I can find the guide for ati mitcheloc.. you're using gnome I hope
[03:20] <snoops> and the fglrx driver?
[03:21] <mitcheloc> snoops: i'm new to guis on linux...i'm used to the command line, so if gnome is the default for ubuntu, then yes
[03:21] <mitcheloc> snoops: yes
[03:21] <sean> hello,somebody please tell me ,how can I recieve and send email with Evolution?
[03:21] <tinklepants> a person has to be liturally insane to pitch a *sissy* fit over lack-of-shockwave access
[03:21] <jrib> rigonatti: synce-kde seems to be in the universe repository, apt-cache search -n synce, may help you see what is available
[03:21] <orbin> rigonatti: er, install it from the repos?
[03:22] <snoops> well, probably should learn what xgl and compiz is first mitcheloc.. it's still an alpha product.. :)
[03:22] <mwe> sean: huh? isn't evolution an email client ?
[03:22] <snoops> but when you want to install it and such give http://www.compiz.net/viewtopic.php?id=389 a go
[03:22] <sean> mwe,  yes
[03:22] <mitcheloc> snoops: i understood xgl to be a cubed like interface right? the screen rotates?
[03:23] <orbin> sean: what's the issue? just steup an account and go crazy
[03:23] <snoops> nah, that's compiz
[03:23] <mwe> sean: well, compose, send mail I guess
[03:23] <finalbeta> I've just set up wine for my old windows password manager, working fine. But the windows wine start don't have a button in the tastbar.  How can I get that. (hope you can make sense of this)
[03:23] <Toma-> pjfc: i dare say, im  stumped. :*( i wish i had a spare 64-bit install to fool with. ive just installed 32bit ubuntu on my 64-bit cpu. runs just as fast anyway...
[03:23] <snoops> xgl is an open gl rendered server layer for x server
[03:23] <mwe> which crashes a lot
[03:23] <snoops> compiz makes use of xgl to show lots of eye candy and add to usability
[03:24] <sean> orbin, you mean Evolution is not good for email?
[03:24] <gnomefreak> tinklepants: if your here to complain about shockwave than your in the wrong channel if you are here to get help with ubuntu or help others with ubuntu than please either ask you question or answer some
[03:24] <Toma-> finalbeta: Apps > Accessories > Alacarte
[03:24] <mitcheloc> snoops: okay, i'll have to look into it later then, and i will, but need to get some work done right now and finish setting up the ubuntu machine
[03:24] <finalbeta> mwe , disable wobbly and some of the other dumb plugings, then it runs pretty stable
[03:24] <rigonatti> orbin: Strange coz this how to:  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=136257   didnt work
[03:24] <twb> I say.
[03:24] <sean> mwe,  could you please tell me how to finish it?
[03:24] <mitcheloc> specifically i got to figure out how to mount the nfs partition on my drive...*hope i didn't delete it during install*
[03:24] <snoops> wobbly is totally awesome once you get use to it finalbeta and tweak it
[03:24] <orbin> sean: no, i mean it's pretty much a no-brainer to use.  what are you having problems with
[03:24] <twb> I noticed that Shift+NumLock doesn't enable mouse emulation in X anymore.
[03:25] <mwe> finalbeta: I did. it would still freeze for like 15 secs sometimes
[03:25] <finalbeta> Toma, I mean the tast bar, the bar on the bottom of the screen where open programs have a little bar :p
[03:25] <twb> How do I get it back?
[03:25] <mwe> finalbeta: But it was less unstable, yes
[03:25] <Toma-> finalbeta: OH. taskbar.
[03:25] <finalbeta> mwe, weird, it's running ok here.
[03:25] <pjfc> Toma: Thanks! you have given me more time than I thinks is fair to ask for.  I did find a script once, but I don't know how to run it.  I'll try to locate again maybe that will be more successful.
[03:25] <mwe> sean: I dont know what you're asking exactly
[03:25] <sean> orbin, I can't use it to recieve email from hotmail.
[03:26] <rigonatti> CAn anyone help me with synce ?
[03:26] <sean> mwe, problem with hotmail
[03:26] <MadMerC> !fixres
[03:26] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:26] <mwe> sean: well hotmail is webmail isn't it?
[03:26] <Toma-> pjfc: if you have a script, i usually use "sh scriptname"
[03:26] <orbin> rigonatti: perhaps you should post to the thread w/ your problem/s
[03:26] <Toma-> pjfc: sorry i didnt solve anything :(
[03:26] <sean> mwe,  I am not sure
[03:26] <rigonatti> the thread is to Breezy :(
[03:26] <mwe> sean: I don't think you can configure any mail client to get your webmail, except outlook express maybe
[03:26] <snoops> I thought hotmail has pop3 and smtp addresses as well mwe
[03:26] <mwe> snoops: maybe
[03:26] <mwe> snoops: I wasn't aware if so
[03:27] <snoops> or maybe imap.. hmm
[03:27] <Toma-> rigonatti: try looking for synce in synaptic
[03:27] <spacey> hotmail doesn't have imap/smtp AFAIK. its some strange http protocol that makes it work with OE. *maybe* it does have pop3 if you pay extra. not sure.
[03:27] <mwe> sean: You would set up the account like in any other client. go to hotmail.com for details I think
[03:28] <sean> mwe, that means I can only read my email in web. it couldn't be download to my computer?
[03:28] <mu1> hey all
[03:28] <mwe> sean: But IIRC outlook express has some kind of hotmail integration built in so don't follow instructoins for that
[03:29] <mwe> sean: unless it has pop/imap access as well I don't know if hotmail does
[03:29] <mwe> sean: gmail does
[03:29] <vincenz> Anyone know how to stop an application from hangnig while it sends stuff to the printer
[03:29] <steev> you can only get imap/smtp from hotmail if you are a paying customer of the service
[03:29] <ouaibe> hmmm what should I do if I have that infamous BCM4318 wifi card, and it won't work either with ndiswrapper nor with bcm43xx ?
[03:29] <vincenz> so I can possibly send multiple thngs instead of having to wait each time
[03:29] <sean> mwe, oh.that's a problem.
[03:30] <finalbeta> For the ones that want to download hotmail mail: FreePOPs 0.0.99 lets you do it
[03:30] <mwe> sean: what is?
[03:30] <sean> mwe, every time I want to read my email . I have to login hotmail's web site.
[03:30] <finalbeta> quaibe , what is the problem with bcm...
[03:31] <ouaibe> well, I have that huge post on the forums
[03:31] <finalbeta> sean FreePOPS ....
[03:31] <ouaibe> with bcm the witness light shows up
[03:31] <ouaibe> but I can't change squat in iwconfig
[03:31] <soundray> vincenz: what application is that?
[03:31] <ouaibe> needless to say that dhclient doesn't work.
[03:31] <sean> finalbeta, Freepops can dowload hotmail' e-mail?
[03:31] <mwe> sean: not if it provides pop3 access
[03:32] <ouaibe> but apparently the 4318 shouldn't work with bcm43xx, so I uninstalled it, blacklisted it etc, and used ndiswrapper instead
[03:32] <mu1> I have a slight problem. I Had Windows installed. and then installed Ubuntu 6.06 and love it. though I never to do some work in Windows (yes day time job, work) and used Partition Magic which stuffed my MBR so now grub does not work. any ideas how to reinstall grub/ fix it. I have search and tried a few things with no luck
[03:32] <finalbeta> sean , ah, they advertise they can...
[03:32] <nige_> how do I create a /dev/null folder
[03:32] <mitcheloc> are there any better looking alternatives then gaim?
[03:32] <nige_> i want to see the proxy usage for a bit
[03:32] <mu1> i'm in the live CD thing o dapper right now
[03:32] <soundray> mu1: there is info on the wiki:
[03:32] <soundray> !grub
[03:32] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:32] <ouaibe> but the witness light doesn't lit up, and I have the same iwconfig problem, except I do not even have the essid set correctly with it...
[03:33] <sean> finalbeta, okay, I try it now
[03:33] <mu1> soundray, thanks, i'll have a look. I've been searching in google and have not come across that yet :) guess i'm searching for the wrong words
[03:33] <solsTiCe> where can i find md5sum of the iso ?
[03:33] <gnomefreak> mitcheloc: what type of chat?
[03:34] <soundray> solsTiCe: run 'md5sum file.iso'
[03:34] <solsTiCe> yes i kinow that
[03:34] <mwe> I think you have to pay for pop3 access to hotmail
[03:34] <twb> Fixed
[03:34] <twb> xmodmap -e 'keysym Num_Lock = Pointer_EnableKeys' &
[03:34] <nige_> !/dev/null
[03:34] <ubotu> I know nothing about /dev/null
[03:34] <wotdu> hey guys
[03:34] <solsTiCe> on the mirror there is a MD5SUMS
[03:35] <ouaibe> hehe what is there to know about /dev/null ;)
[03:35] <wotdu> does anyone know what was that thing to make aMSN look like a normal GNOME/GTK2 app ?
[03:35] <finalbeta> ouaibe: don't know, I installed a linksys with that chip yesterday with WPA. followed some page on the wiki. I did needed to use the drivers that came with the card and not the ones the recommended, else you see errors in dmesg. after that gnome-network-manager worked fine, did everything
[03:35] <finalbeta> ouaibe: still on B mode, doesn't want to work with G mode :/
[03:36] <mwe> wotdu: I think you need to recompile tcl/tk. I'm not into the details though
[03:36] <ouaibe> k...
[03:36] <ouaibe> I've tried with like 5 different drivers
[03:36] <wotdu> hmm mwe
[03:36] <artefact> xnix i made "metacity &", it shows me "[1]  5942" and it works but my keyboard isn't azerty (it is quwerty)
[03:36] <ouaibe> I so much hate hardware manufacturers
[03:36] <wotdu> i can't find anything about it on google
[03:36] <wotdu> but i had it like that some time ago
[03:36] <Raul654> Can someone recommend a good graphical SFTP program for ubuntu?
[03:37] <nige_> gftp
[03:37] <wotdu> Raul654: gftp
[03:37] <nige_> :)
[03:37] <nige_> its so good, I use in my kde sessions
[03:37] <mjr> Raul654, Nautilus can handle it, but gftp is good if you don't like the interface for that
[03:37] <ouaibe> I've already explained everything there: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190177&page=2
[03:37] <finalbeta> ouaibe: I used this guide : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx but don't use drivers they recommend, but extract from the ones that came with the card
[03:37] <erUSUL> Raul654: in the seveas repo there are versions of gftp with ssl support
[03:37] <Raul654> thanks
[03:37] <ouaibe> had it been my notebook, I would juste have bought an external wiif
[03:38] <ouaibe> yup, that's what I did... I will try again, just to see....
[03:38] <Avdi> does anyone know of a general solution for creating consistent /dev/ symlinks for hotplug devices?
[03:38] <mu1> thank you. rebooting to try!
[03:38] <finalbeta> ouaibe:  make sure you check dmesg when they tell you to. at that point you know if it worked or not
[03:39] <Raul654> one more question
[03:39] <erUSUL> Avdi: i'm not sure to understand what you want
[03:39] <ouaibe> yup, it doesn't tell squat ;)
[03:39] <ouaibe> only, eth1 : link not active
[03:39] <ouaibe> or such
[03:39] <Raul654> how do I add a link to the trash applet or the computer from the desktop?
[03:40] <erUSUL> Raul654: i recomend using gtweak-ui nautilus
[03:40] <Avdi> when I plug in my thumbdrive, I want the system to recognize it and create a /dev/lexar_thumbdrive link to whatever actual /dev/sdb* device was created
[03:41] <Avdi> likewise with my camera
[03:41] <ouaibe> but I was really impressed by the work done with bcm43xx and/or ndiswrapper
[03:41] <Avdi> likewise with my touchpad, which is assigned a different device depending on whether a USB mouse is plugged in when I boot
[03:41] <ouaibe> its just completely crackhead to imagine taking windows drivers and using them in linux
[03:41] <cmk> I
[03:41] <Avdi> I know I can edit my hotplug/udev configuration to recognize these specific devices
[03:42] <Avdi> but I'm looking for a general solution
[03:42] <cmk> I M FRENCH
[03:42] <erUSUL> Avdi: you have to write udev rules. take a look in  /etc/udev/rules.d/
[03:42] <dr_willis> Avdi,  for the mouse - you can set xorg.conf to use /dev/input/mice - and that will be 'all' mice - I think  that way  you could have 2+ mice/pads plugged in and thjey all work
[03:42] <erUSUL> !fr
[03:42] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[03:42] <Avdi> dr_willis: that doesn't work, and I'll explain why
[03:42] <finalbeta> ouaibe: it's like wine I guess, sometimes it works just fine.
[03:43] <ouaibe> haha yeah, wine is awesome, its merely 1:1 perf
[03:43] <ouaibe> sometimes even faster
[03:43] <Avdi> dr_willis: it's a built-in Synaptics touchpad which requires a reference to the specific /dev/input* device in xorg.conf in order to enable all it's features
[03:43] <paryl> my usb mouse has been refusing to work, and i tracked it down to acpi... acpi=off in the boot line of grub causes it to work, but then i don't have any of the acpi functions.  any idea what i can do?
[03:43] <finalbeta> I was impressed today when my windows password manager worked fine inside wine. took 5 mins to set the whole thing up. Last time when I wanted to install wine on fedora it never worked
[03:43] <Avdi> dr_willis: sure, it works as /dev/mice; but without any of it's advanced features
[03:44] <cr3> how come one of my ubuntu installations has a sleep option whereas the other installations don't?
[03:44] <Larsson-Sweden> Is there an adblocker for Opera?
[03:44] <Avdi> so when my system boots with a USB mouse plugged in, the reference to /dev/input2 in xorg.conf is wrong, and it falls back to generic /dev/mice support
[03:44] <grogoreo> I've just had a look at downloading the dapper install CD as I want to install it on another computer, but noticed that there is a Desktop Install and a Server where the Desktop seems to be a LiveCD and then you install it after that. Is this the new way to install ubuntu?
[03:44] <finalbeta> does GNOME/compiz has a key combination to lock the desktop? (didn't find it on google)
[03:45] <finalbeta> grogoreo: for the desktop, yes.
[03:45] <finalbeta> works fine, but I didn't find how to install to anything else then ext3
[03:45] <_jason> finalbeta: system > preferences keyboard shortcuts, you can set one
[03:45] <Avdi> I'm looking for something that hooks into the hotplug system, assigns USB devices a unique symlink derived from their device type and unique id, and remembers the assignment for the future
[03:46] <finalbeta> thnx _jason
[03:46] <grogoreo> finalbeta, so is the install a graphical program running on the LiveCD? I would prefere the old way of installing
[03:46] <Avdi> So that whenever the device is plugged in, that unique /dev/ symlink is always restored
[03:46] <rahul84> how do i use the crontab file?
[03:46] <recover_> How do I install Unreal Tournament? I have the Game of the year edition
[03:46] <Bassetts> ubuntu is really fussy about what it mounts in my dvd drive
[03:46] <erUSUL> Avdi: you have to write udev rules. take a look in  /etc/udev/rules.d/ the one that looks 60-symlinks
[03:47] <soundray> Avdi: I think you're touching on one of Linux's tender spots. This issue has been the source of flamewars on lkml and elsewhere.
[03:47] <rixxon> i get errors trying to install vmware-player via apt-get
[03:47] <amarokker> Is there a way to get access to the flash memory stick device on a sony-ericsson mobile phone?
[03:47] <Avdi> erUSUL: I want you to pretend for a second that I'm the standard desktop user that Ubuntu is aimed at, and not a linux geek
[03:47] <amarokker> w810i to be exact.
[03:47] <finalbeta> grogoreo: don't know exactly what you mean, but you boot the live cd, you can do everything like a normal desktop, and you have a menu option, install to HD, it's a 6 step wizard and takes 25 mins
[03:47] <soundray> Avdi: udev is getting there, but as you've noticed, it isn't quite the solution for remembering indvidual devices yet.
[03:47] <erUSUL> soundray: the solution as i said twice is to write aproppiate udev rules
[03:47] <Avdi> when I use windows, it ALWAYS assigns my thumbdrive to e:/
[03:48] <finalbeta> I don't know the old way, first time ubuntu user.
[03:48] <Bassetts> =( ubuntu just made another coaster from my dvd-rs
[03:48] <snoops> your burner you mean!
[03:48] <Avdi> soundray: are you aware of any projects in this direction that I could assist?
[03:48] <soundray> erUSUL: that's not generic; ie. you have to write a rule for every device that you want recognized in the future.
[03:48] <mu1> damn that did not work
[03:48] <Bassetts> snoops: so why does it work in windows?
[03:48] <soundray> Avdi, no, but I'd look for a udev-related mailing list.
[03:48] <Bassetts> snoops: ubuntu is really dodgy with my dvd-rw
[03:49] <snoops> what software are you using?
[03:49] <erUSUL> Avdi: except if you plug previusly another one. if you do so yours becomes suddenly f: and if you make new partitions or add  a new hard drive... well you see where i'm going no?
[03:49] <Avdi> soundray: is it really udev?  I thought udev tried to stay lower-level than that
[03:49] <soundray> Avdi: like I say, I'm not the expert. Just pretending ;)
[03:49] <Bassetts> snoops: nautilus
[03:50] <rahul84> please help me on how to use crontab
[03:50] <snoops> you could try nero Bassetts
[03:50] <Avdi> erUSUL: yes, it's imperfect in windows, but slightly better.  I wouldn't have the problem I had last night, where my thumdrive kept slipping out and getting assigned a new device every time, invalidating all my terminal sessions
[03:50] <Snow_Shelter> hello all
[03:50] <mu1> lets try this one
[03:50] <Bassetts> snoops: well ubuntu sometimes sees a cd-r or dvd-r sometimes doesnt
[03:51] <Bassetts> snoops: it its pot luck if it sees a cd...
[03:51] <Snow_Shelter> I added the edgy eft mirrors to my dapper PPC and updated to Edgy Eft to get 2.6.17. Unfortunately. wireless still isn't fuctional, is there some guide I need to follow to set it up properly, or was the computer supposed to do that for me?
[03:51] <erUSUL> soundray: if you assing i label (with mtools) to your thumbdrive udev will use the label to create the links and the media mountpoint (this is done by pmount)
[03:51] <soundray> Avdi: one of the things I like about Ubuntu is that it mounts USB storage devices to mountpoints that are based on the filesystem label. For me, that's progress.
[03:51] <Avdi> is this something others wouldf be interested in?  A general system for rememberiong hotplugged devices and assigning them the same unique /dev/ symlink every time?
[03:51] <Avdi> soundray: believe me, I agree
[03:51] <erUSUL> Avdi: if your drive is disconnecting then you have a hardware problem. i experienced the same with an external cdrom
[03:51] <Snow_Shelter> Avdi: meh, my computer already does that
[03:52] <Bassetts> what should my fstab line look like for my cdrom?
[03:52] <soundray> erUSUL: is mtools good for labelling an existing FAT32?
[03:52] <Avdi> erUSUL: it's a thumbdrive.  you plug it into the USB port.  sometimes it slips out when I shift the lapttop around. it's not a hardware problem, it's the nature of the beast.
[03:52] <jhonny> hola hay alguien
[03:52] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: /dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[03:52] <erUSUL> soundray: there is a how to in the wiki.
[03:52] <soundray> erUSUL: I'll look it up. Thank you!
[03:53] <Bassetts> so fstab is ok
[03:53] <Bassetts> =( why wont my dvd drive work
[03:53] <Jombob> Is there any tool for checking is a filesystem is ok?
[03:53] <Avdi> Snow_Shelter: how did you get your computer to do that?
[03:53] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: no power? cable not plugged in?
[03:53] <Snow_Shelter> Avdi: I don't know, it just always assigns them the same /dev/
[03:53] <Bassetts> Snow_Shelter: the dvd drive is ok, ubuntu jus thardly mounts anything
[03:54] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: kernel doesn't have necessary fs support?
[03:54] <soundray> Jombob: yes, several. Do a 'ls /sbin/fsck*'
[03:54] <Jombob> thanks
[03:54] <Bassetts> Snow_Shelter: huh, noob here ;P
[03:55] <soundray> Jombob: always unmount before you check
[03:55] <Jombob> do i do that?
[03:55] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: your kernel doesn't have what it needs to read cdrom formats, although that doesn't seem likel
[03:55] <Snow_Shelter> likely*
[03:55] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: you installed from cd or DVD?
[03:55] <Bassetts> Snow_Shelter: its working now... annoying
[03:55] <Bassetts> Snow_Shelter: cd
[03:55] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: check for loose cable inside the computer
[03:56] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: this is IDE or SATA drive?
[03:56] <Bassetts> IDE
[03:56] <Bassetts> the HD is sata
[03:56] <soundray> Jombob: the best way is to boot from a Live CD and run the checks from there if you suspect an inconsistency.
[03:56] <Jombob> ok thanks....
[03:56] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: heh. like my computer. Anyway, check the IDE cable at the drive and the master end
[03:56] <Jombob> my file system keeps becoming read-only. Any ideas on that?
[03:56] <Bassetts> Snow_Shelter: ok ill do that when my downloads are done :)
[03:56] <Bassetts> im sure its not, im pretty sure i check a while ago
[03:57] <Polibio> hi
[03:57] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: not to sound crazy, but just open up the case while it's running, and make sure the cables are in tight
[03:57] <soundray> Jombob: could be trouble. Backup all important data on the affected partition to a safe place.
[03:57] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: it wont harm anything as long as you don't unplug it, and are grounded
[03:57] <Polibio> what FTP program would you use to send files to a remote site?
[03:57] <Jombob> Hard or soft?
[03:58] <Bassetts> Snow_Shelter: its pretty much impossible to undo it right now =P
[03:58] <Snow_Shelter> Polibio: I don't know if ncftp's been absorbed by wget, but I'd use ncftp
[03:58] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: ok
[03:58] <Bassetts> Snow_Shelter: ill check later, im confident inside the pc, i made it =P
[03:58] <soundray> Jombob: what?
[03:58] <Snow_Shelter> erUSUL: heh
[03:58] <Polibio> aham
[03:58] <lionelp> Hi Detox_Elive :)
[03:58] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: cool, is it AMD or Pentium based?
[03:58] <Jombob> uhhh who's playing?
[03:58] <Detox_Elive> have a prob wtih my ubuntu machine being seen by the router
[03:58] <Jombob> Ummm... you think it might be a hardware problem?
[03:58] <erUSUL> Jombob: Spain - arabia ;)
[03:58] <Bassetts> Snow_Shelter: P4 EMT64 HT =D
[03:58] <soundray> Jombob: yes.
[03:58] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: you made it and you aren't confident about the cable? wow, I've made 2, and I'm always sure
[03:58] <Detox_Elive> can anyone review the /netwrok/interfaces file with me?
[03:59] <lionelp> Detox_Elive: can you paste it on pastebin ?
[03:59] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: ahh, I've got a P4 S478, and AMD 64 S939
[03:59] <Bassetts> Snow_Shelter: im confident i put it in right, but you never know, i may of knocked it out slightly
[03:59] <Khamael> when I try to send mail with evolution, I get this "RCPT TO <razi3l@start.no> feilet: Relaying not allowed: razi3l@start.no" what is wrong?
[03:59] <Detox_Elive> no am on other pc
[03:59] <Jombob> thanks soundaray :-)
[03:59] <Bassetts> Snow_Shelter: what else is in there?
[03:59] <Detox_Elive> right now
[03:59] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: what else?
[03:59] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: ?
[03:59] <Detox_Elive> wcn isntall xchat on tht one but will take me a few min
[03:59] <Bassetts> Snow_Shelter: ram etc
[04:00] <Jombob> who are you gonna support in the match?
[04:00] <digggg> hello guys. anyone else here having problems with dapper+geforce fx go5200+ nvidia-glx?
[04:00] <Detox_Elive> or you could meet me in #epios and I can type it there?
[04:00] <Snow_Shelter> P4 3.0Ghz HT, FX 5200, 512Mb, 20GB, CDROM
[04:00] <Bassetts> nice
[04:00] <soundray> Jombob: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:00] <Jombob> I'm not a big fan of arabians but that only 'cos of media brainwashing
[04:00] <Detox_Elive> which would you prefer?
[04:00] <Jombob> lol
[04:01] <Snow_Shelter> AMD64, Geforce 6600GT, 1GB, 250GB SATAII, DVD DL
[04:01] <Bassetts> Snow_Shelter: P4 3GHz HT 64bit, Radeon 9500, 1gb pc3200 ram, 80gb sata, dvd+-rw
[04:01] <Bassetts> Snow_Shelter: i want your 6600gt heh
[04:01] <digggg> what's with all the specs?
[04:01] <Hagbard_Ub> I have gf2
[04:01] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: how's the ATi support in Ubuntu? I've heard that ATi drivers for linux are #$%^
[04:01] <Bassetts> Snow_Shelter: upgrading to 2gb ram, 6600gt sli, and about a teragig of hd space :)
[04:01] <Snow_Shelter> digggg: just comparing computers
[04:01] <Bassetts> Snow_Shelter: i use the default, but yes they
[04:01] <Bassetts> are
[04:02] <Bassetts> , i gtg talk later Snow_Shelter
[04:02] <digggg> cool. lol @ Bassetts . a teragig?
[04:02] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: don't put 2 6600's in SLi
[04:02] <Bass|Away> digggg: yeh, alot of crap =)
[04:02] <Snow_Shelter> Bassetts: for that kind of money, get a 7800 or a 7900, they blow 2 6600's out of the water
[04:03] <Snow_Shelter> Bass|Away: a tip, you can get a 7800 cheap right now cause nVidia has the 7900 and the 7950
[04:03] <digggg> AMD64 X2. X800GTO. 320gig sataII. 1gb ram.  dvd+-rw . dvd-rom. =P
[04:03] <Snow_Shelter> digggg: why do you need two optical drives?
[04:03] <Snow_Shelter> digggg: you run windows?
[04:04] <Snow_Shelter> digggg: all my windows friends have 2 optical drives for ripping + burining DVDs, I only have one. Rip to harddrive, re-encode, then burn again. It's cheaper, and works better
[04:04] <Snow_Shelter> digggg: plus, you can do it long after you've returned the DVD ;)
[04:04] <Snow_Shelter> I need to shut up and get amsn working on PPC
[04:04] <Snow_Shelter> later
[04:05] <Jombob> can anyone suggest a better gui ftp client than gftp?
[04:05] <Detox_Server> >>>> Lionelp>>>   look for private chat window
[04:05] <Hobbsee> Snow_Shelter: if that's an away message, please get rid of it.
[04:05] <Kibou> Jombob: what's wrong with gftp?
[04:06] <digggg> @ Snow_Shelter : but having 2 optical drives you dont have rip it to the harddrive first, which is substantially slower.....
[04:06] <lionelp> Detox_Server: as your pseudo is not registered, i am not seeing what you are typing :-(
[04:06] <Infecto> hi all
[04:06] <Snow_Shelter> Hobbsee: nope
[04:07] <Snow_Shelter> digggg: I like my way better
[04:07] <Hobbsee> Snow_Shelter: yeah, i suspected it wasnt :)
[04:07] <Infecto> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16327
[04:07] <digggg> Snow_Shelter: cool. it's just a preference. =D
[04:07] <Infecto> can some one help me with this problem?
[04:07] <Infecto> maybe some one fight this
[04:07] <Snow_Shelter> digggg: use the money I save to get some ECC DDR!
[04:07] <gnomefreak> Infecto: what is the problem?
[04:08] <Infecto> opera crash
[04:08] <Infecto> dont work
[04:08] <Infecto> i did as is write on
[04:08] <gnomefreak> what type of site are you opening when it crashes?
[04:08] <soundray> Infecto: I solved something like that like this: 'dpkg --purge opera ; firefox'
[04:08] <twobitsprite> hey... I have mediawiki installed, but I want to install a second instance of it, or at least create a second wiki with a seperate namespace and URL... any ideas?
[04:09] <rahul84> please help me on how to use crontab
[04:09] <digggg> Snow_Shelter, : why do u need ECC rams? are they for servers or something?
[04:09] <soundray> rahul84: there are lots of gentle introductions on the web - have you searched?
[04:10] <Snow_Shelter> digggg: nope, NF4. If you have ECC, you can overclock higher than if you didn't, because the RAM auto corrects the errors
[04:10] <rahul84> soundray: yes..but i am not getting the correct result
[04:10] <Infecto> gnomefreak: no tupe of  any site
[04:10] <Infecto> just clean opera
[04:10] <Snow_Shelter> digggg: plus, it's just plain and simple more reliable
[04:10] <rahul84> soundray: log shows erro 0*0001
[04:10] <Infecto> i`m typing opera and then its crashing
[04:10] <Snow_Shelter> blah, powerbook needs more than 2 USB ports
[04:10] <gnomefreak> Infecto: on dapper?
[04:11] <digggg> Snow_Shelter, : ahaa.. that's what they're for..... they're a lot more expensive than regular rams right? like 3 times?
[04:11] <gnomefreak> Infecto: what version of opera is it?
[04:11] <carlf1> isnt there a "automatical log in as user foo" option somehwere?
[04:11] <Infecto> 9.0
[04:11] <Snow_Shelter> digggg: 2x to 3x, yea
[04:11] <soundray> rahul84: can you paste your crontab on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[04:11] <gurumeditationer> I know the way to run 32bit stuff on 64bit ubuntu is to make a 32bit chroot but is there a reason ubuntu doesn't do it like fedora core?
[04:11] <Snow_Shelter> digggg: Error correcting something
[04:11] <Snow_Shelter> !ecc
[04:11] <ubotu> I know nothing about ecc
[04:11] <azureal> hi, why would it give me this reminder?  "Don't forget to copy firmware to your hotplug's firmware directory and have thehotplug tools in place."
[04:11] <carlf1> Snow_Shelter: I have a ibm thinkpad that only has 1 usb - bleck
[04:12] <soundray> carlf1: System-Admin-Login Window
[04:12] <Snow_Shelter> bah, has no one taught this bot about hardware?
[04:12] <carlf1> soundray: thanks
[04:12] <Snow_Shelter> carlf1: that's just bad design
[04:12] <gnomefreak> im thinking filing a bug with opera on that because 9.0 has not been released yet but i dont know what the policy for opera is.
[04:12] <Snow_Shelter> blagh, why wont amsn install?
[04:13] <azureal> hi, why would it give me that above reminder? (about the hotplug tools in place)
[04:13] <pepsi> hello, I have a problem with ubuntu linux...I tried the 6.06 live cd on my laptop, it appears all to work until X should be started, then the screen remains black...is there any option to avoid starting X at boot or to manually configure it?
[04:13] <Snow_Shelter> I'd really love it if someone at Ubuntu made a newer version of amsn. The CVS version is quite stable, and includes _many_ features that the standard version doesn't
[04:13] <azureal> oh, nvm, it looked like i didnt type it =P
[04:13] <Snow_Shelter> pepsi: rescue, perhaps?
[04:14] <Snow_Shelter> pepsi: you want to install from live cd too?
[04:14] <soundray> pepsi: try the vga=771 boot option. Read the help screens at boot to learn exactly how.
[04:14] <carlf1> pepsi: yes - hit F1 at the boot prompt
[04:15] <rahul84> soundray: i have posted it..
[04:15] <Iron_Hawk> hi all !
[04:15] <pepsi> Snow_Shelter, yes, I want to install it
[04:16] <pepsi> i guess the problem isnt the console video mode but the x server that is somehow misconfigured automatically..with knoppix it works
[04:16] <soundray> rahul84: you need to fill in the username field before /bin/yasuc
[04:17] <trainer> can someone help me, I seem to have nuked firefox:   "Could not launch menu item    Details: Failed to execute child process "firefox" (No such file or directory)"      ...note: I previously did this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion
[04:17] <rahul84> soundray: even then its not working..
[04:18] <soundray> rahul84: did you run crontab -e to make that entry?
[04:18] <Iron_Hawk> i would like to ask a question as i am newbbie to this distribution
[04:19] <soundray> !ask
[04:19] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:19] <Snow_Shelter> pepsi: install from command line?
[04:19] <Iron_Hawk> lol
[04:19] <Iron_Hawk> thx guys
[04:19] <Iron_Hawk> ok so
[04:19] <Snow_Shelter> does anyone know if wish is platform independent?
[04:19] <Iron_Hawk> i installed the live cd
[04:19] <Iron_Hawk> and i found that there is no dev evnironment to distribution
[04:20] <Snow_Shelter> Iron_Hawk: you have to install it from apt-get or synaptic
[04:20] <soundray> !b-e
[04:20] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for a pre-built package first!)
[04:20] <Iron_Hawk> you are terrific guys
[04:20] <Iron_Hawk> thx a lot for your assistance
[04:20] <rahul84> soundray: i did run crontab -e in root
[04:20] <wastrel> hello
[04:21] <Iron_Hawk> but i must admit that ubuntu is impressive
[04:21] <Snow_Shelter> ubotu: yes, unfortunately that isn't always an option. I find that sometimes the packages in Ubuntu are older, or just don't exsist. Take for example video-dvdrip. I used it all the time, but in Ubuntu, the package is borken
[04:21] <Snow_Shelter> broken*
[04:21] <soundray> rahul84: can you not run 'while true ; do /bin/yasuc ; sleep 300 ; done'?
[04:22] <rahul84> soundray: were should i write that command to?
[04:22] <soundray> rahul84: in a terminal (Alt-F2, enter 'gnome-terminal')
[04:22] <Snow_Shelter> today's forecast, dark and cloudy, with a chance of drive-by.
[04:23] <soundray> rahul84: btw, are you sure that your program is located in /bin/ ?

[04:31] <feld_> hey fellas. I usually don't use Ubuntu, but I have it on this laptop. I haven't tried any other linuxes on it because this works perfect. I have a problem though:
[04:31] <Iron_Hawk> i shouldnt?
[04:31] <Gilgamesch> I'm new to ubuntu and linux
[04:31] <soundray> rahul84: no... cron should load the crontab automatically once you save and exit
[04:31] <xwind_> ok i surrender on netboot, will just have to do cdrom installs for all 20 computers. :(
[04:31] <azureal> any ideas?
[04:31] <feld_> I cannot make the touchpad STOP WORKING! I completely removed it from xorg.conf. Any ideas?

[04:38] <Abrii> hi hi
[04:39] <patrick_> hello all i was wondering how to install/setop my pcmcia card for my dell c400
[04:39] <vincenz> I have some questions regarding printing: A) why is it so slow (I am at work so network printing, but still, highspeed network).  B) Why does my applicatio nfreeze as it tries to print instead of loading this into a separate process, C) why does it oten make my print jobs hang
[04:40] <azureal> CUPS?
[04:40] <vincenz> azureal: yeah
[04:40] <vincenz> azureal: and I can't even launch system->administration->printing, it loads for a bi tand then quits
[04:40] <Usunny> yoo! i got this WD 32gb raid-sata-extremly-fast-whatever-disk (yes i did forgot the name of all ths spec) is there any docs on however ubuntu seam to fuck things up like XP ? Generally it never works... (the s-ata part)
[04:41] <azureal> idk
[04:41] <patrick_> i can get ethernet working just got to get the pcmcia card working so i can move away from my router
[04:41] <vincenz> azureal: any thoughts?
[04:41] <ompaul> Usunny, please mind you language, other than that what version of ubuntu are you using
[04:41] <Hobbsee> darn, forgot the :
[04:41] <ompaul> dont worry
[04:42] <kennethlove> hey all. i'm having trouble upgrading through apt-get to dapper. cupsys won't install/upgrade.
[04:42] <Usunny> yes im sorry, my bad. Im _thinking_ of geting the latest version. alltho when i installed  XP  on my current machine i took forver to install it due to the lack of s-ata support.... just woundering if ubuntu handels better
[04:43] <vincenz> Anyone know why my a) lpr jobs hang, B) my applications hang when they invoke printing, C) why it ngeneral the whole printing issue is so slow
[04:44] <vincenz> d) why gnome-cups-manager won't start
[04:44] <azureal> vincenz: i would just google it, idk
[04:44] <mindspit> how can i edit .po files ? for word press blog
[04:44] <Sjoerd-> how do I, under ubuntu, enable the mod_rewrite module for apache2?
[04:44] <pepsi> is it possible to install ubuntu from the live cd with only 64MB of ram?
[04:44] <vincenz> azureal: some other keyword?  idk israther generic
[04:44] <farous> vincenz: printing can be problametic in linux. depending on your printer
[04:44] <farous> linuxprinting.org is good start
[04:44] <vincenz> farous: at times it works, but still my applications always hang really long
[04:44] <patrick_> any ideas on making a pcmcia card work on ubuntu breezy
[04:45] <digggg> Usunny, what's the problem with xp + sata. i've seen many ppl like you but personally i've never had anything like that. sata + xp installs fine without really any special drivers even.
[04:45] <Kibou> pepsi: no
[04:45] <kennethlove> mindspit: i'm not sure, but i'd imagine any files that wordpress is using are text files
[04:45] <pepsi> Kibou, but it is possible to run a installed ubuntu with 64 megs?
[04:45] <Usunny> i think it was sum-sum with the SP2 pack that made a total mess
[04:46] <jrib> Sjoerd-: sudo a2enmod
[04:46] <mindspit> no they are not :(
[04:46] <Usunny> "SP1" if you can call it that worked like a charm
[04:46] <Kibou> pepsi:  I think it's possible with a large  enough swap partition, but I personally wouldn't recommend it
[04:46] <kennethlove> hey all. i'm having trouble upgrading through apt-get to dapper. cupsys won't install/upgrade.
[04:46] <rohan> i changed some startup options using sysv-rc-conf .. removed services like evms and hplip .. now on shutdown, the usplash doesnt go all the way back .. just half way, and tells me to power down. this system doesnt have acpi support so it doenst shutdown automatically .. and it always leaves me confused since it wont go all the way back .. any remedy ?
[04:46] <Usunny> but all i got was the SP2 so it was quite anoying
[04:46] <Kibou> pepsi: maybe try xubuntu or even go with a winodws manager like fluxbox
[04:46] <farous> kennethlove: did you do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[04:47] <kennethlove> farous: yep
[04:47] <pepsi> Kibou, yes I'd like to try xubuntu
[04:47] <pepsi> xfce should work
[04:47] <Kibou> it might
[04:47] <kennethlove> farous: and i've tried both ubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop with the same results.
[04:47] <profoX`> hello, i fixed standby on my pentium 4 pc (state S1) and it works in GDM, but the option doesnt show up in the gnome "logout dialog"
[04:47] <Usunny> just wanted to get a feel of i ppl in general hade problems with s-ata and the OS (in this case Ubuntu)
[04:48] <farous> kennethlove: might be old config files. did you try removing it then reinstalling again
[04:48] <Tomcat__> profoX`: You might need to activate it in gnome-power-manager.
[04:48] <profoX`> Tomcat__, lets see, thanks for the tip
[04:48] <carlf1> what is the apt command that shows what dep provides a given file?
[04:48] <kennethlove> farous: i've done 'apt-get remove cupsys' several times
[04:48] <Tomcat__> carlf1: dpkg -S /path/to/file
[04:49] <carlf1> Tomcat_thanks
[04:49] <farous> kennethlove: do not know the command for apt but in aptitude it is sudo aptitude purge. apt-get remove leaves the config files
[04:49] <carlf1> Tomcat_what if I don't know the path?
[04:49] <kennethlove> farous: hmm, ok, i'll look. thanks
[04:49] <Tomcat__> carlf1: Do "locate <file>" or "whereis <file>" to find it.
[04:49] <farous> :)
[04:49] <rohan> no idea anyone ?
[04:49] <Gilgamesch> azureal: Thanks for the link! It solved my problem!
[04:49] <carlf1> Tomcat_ I don't have it installed yet
[04:50] <Tomcat__> carlf1: In that case you can only use the Ubuntu package search site.
[04:50] <azureal> Gilgamesch: np =)
[04:50] <rohan> :(
[04:51] <farous> azureal: this reminds me of debian room :)
[04:51] <F0LL0W3R> how can i download w32 codecs package ?
[04:51] <profoX`> Tomcat__, no luck.
[04:51] <profoX`> F0LL0W3R, sudo apt-get install w32codecs i think if you have the right repository in your /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:51] <digggg> azureal,  not always. sometimes we need real ppl. like those in here. ;-)
[04:51] <tiagoboldt> F0LL0W3R: try using easyubuntu
[04:51] <tiagoboldt> !easyubuntu
[04:51] <ubotu> EasyUbuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of easyubuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[04:51] <Tomcat__> profoX`:  Well, g-p-m can only activate suspend... about standby, I have no idea.

[04:53] <profoX`> F0LL0W3R, i mean first 4 lines in the orange
[04:53] <tiagoboldt> spread the help:] 
[04:53] <FarrisG> Any ideas why xorg won't use my LCD's native resolution? It's supported by the adapter and the driver. But the log says "no mode of this name"
 yup got it :) sure u did help ;)
[04:54] <profoX`> FarrisG, post xorg.conf in http://ubuntu.pastebin.org or something
[04:54] <farous> FarrisG: you need to config xorg. the default is set low as a most common dinominator
[04:54] <FarrisG> farous: No sir, already done did it.
[04:55] <profoX`> F0LL0W3R, you're welcome :) i'm only here if i need help myself ;) but i help other people in the meantime
[04:55] <FarrisG> farous: I mean, sure, maybe I did it wrong, but it's not just that I'
[04:55] <FarrisG> m using a default config
[04:55] <alleyoopster> hi everyone
[04:55] <farous> FarrisG: i am talking about the default config
[04:55] <F0LL0W3R> lol <profoX`>
[04:55] <sean> wo
[04:55] <farous> FarrisG: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf first
[04:55] <alleyoopster> i have a problem with wireless network speed between 2 dapper machines, can anyone help?
[04:55] <farous> !resolution
[04:55] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[04:57] <wastrel> hello
[04:57] <wastrel> i need to set up my computer
[04:57] <pepsi> is it possible to install ubuntu on a machine with only 64 megs of memory? is it possible to get a verbose boot sequence (w/o the fancy graphics..?)
[04:57] <profoX`> Tomcat__, other suggestions ? :(
[04:58] <FarrisG> farous: I know, what I'm saying is, I've already DONE dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. The script takes my settings (actually, detects them just fine) and writes them out to the xorg.conf
[04:58] <profoX`> anyone that knows about standby in ubuntu ? mode S1 ? it doesnt show up in Gnome logout dialog, but it does work in GDM
[04:58] <carlf1> trying to install man - this shows a few packages, none look like what I want: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=man&searchmode=searchfiles
[04:58] <Ng> pepsi: you can make the boot process verbose by removing "quiet splash" from the kernel options in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:58] <farous> pepsi: delete  splash  in the /boot/grub/menu.list
[04:58] <FarrisG> farsous: but when the server starts, it says "no mode of that name" in the log
[04:58] <Ng> pepsi: 64mb of ram might be pushing it though. perhaps if you just run a very minimal xubuntu desktop
[04:59] <alleyoopster> can anyone help with the wireless problem?
[04:59] <samuel> sup all
[04:59] <farous> FarrisG: how about vert and horz refresh rate and sync
[05:00] <farous> perhaps that is your prob
[05:00] <farous> FarrisG: post you xorg.conf file on the pastebin
[05:00] <Tomcat__> profoX`: You can check out the files in /etc/acpi or /etc/default/acpi-support... but that requires some hacking
[05:00] <FarrisG> my xorg conf: http://pastebin.ca/69872
[05:00] <Abrii> I'm going to go crosseyed trying to find info on mail backup using Tbird hehe
[05:00] <profoX`> Tomcat__, i already did the hacking actually, didnt help
[05:00] <kennethlove> farous: hey, no luck in apt-get, so trying aptitude (but i don't know it). how do i go about purging?
[05:00] <carlf1> pepsi: /join #xubuntu
[05:00] <pepsi> ok ng, farous, i'll try that
[05:00] <profoX`> Tomcat__, thanks for trying anyway :)
[05:01] <orbin> carlf1: man as in manpages man?
[05:01] <samuel> is there any way to stop ppl from launching 2 versions of the same program? my mom is using ubuntu and keeps minimizing  the evolution window, and then re-launching it, but it has no emails after that... how can i prevent that?
[05:01] <carlf1> orbin  - correct
[05:01] <farous> kennethlove: apt-get remove --purge i think you can just type man apt-get to get the proper syntax
[05:01] <orbin> carlf1: it really should be installed by default shouldn't it? :-/
[05:01] <kennethlove> farous: ah, alright, i'll try. what about in aptitude, though?
[05:01] <carlf1> orbin: I didn't do a default install
[05:01] <farous> kennethlove: i use aptitude exclusevly here
[05:02] <carlf1> orbin: I did an alternate, then added ubuntu-desktop, which I thought would be everything, but I guess not
[05:02] <tFF> there are three type of downloads available: desktop, server and ALTERNATE. what's ALTERNATE. what's the diff between alternate and server\desktop?
[05:02] <blackline> Anyone that uses Direct Connect here?
[05:02] <trainer> can someone help me, I seem to have nuked firefox:   "Could not launch menu item    Details: Failed to execute child process "firefox" (No such file or directory)"      ...note: I previously did this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion
[05:03] <Abrii> samuel I don't know how it can be done, only been using this for 2 days now, but you know how mom alwys said "if you don't... I'll take your toys away..." ;) Tell her if she doesn't learn to only open 1 then you'll take her mail away
[05:03] <rdz> hi all. alway when i run a program that uses xv, my X crashes or gets completely messed up -> 'artistic' screen. finally i managed to use mplayer with '-vo <something different than xv>', but other programs like kdetv crash. any hints are appreciated on how to fix xv. (is xv the standard video output for most programs?)
[05:03] <samuel> Abrii, hahahahahaha!!!!!
[05:04] <samuel> :)
[05:04] <orbin> carlf1: what happens when you do man -V ?
[05:04] <Abrii> it's payback, we so rarely get to do that as adult children hehe
[05:04] <rdz> !xv
[05:04] <carlf1> orbin: -bash: man: command not found
[05:04] <ubotu> I know nothing about xv
[05:05] <farous> FarrisG: are you sure the horizsync and refresh rate are proper ones?
[05:05] <farous> some high resol work only at lower refresh rate
[05:05] <livingdaylight> how can i check and test my dvd writer?
[05:06] <livingdaylight> i bought a dvd writer, supposedly, but k3b says it does't write
[05:06] <noiesmo> livingdaylight, is htere a error message about permissions
[05:07] <livingdaylight> noiesmo: errr...i don't remember
[05:08] <noiesmo> livingdaylight, open k3b go to settings then ksb setup make permissions for group cdrom and then add yourself to cdroom group
[05:08] <alleyoopster> trainer: did you install libstdc++5?
[05:08] <kennethlove> farous: thanks, that worked for getting cupsys installed
[05:08] <farous> kennethlove: cool :)
[05:09] <FarrisG> farous: Positive. Not only were they auto-detected, but they're clearly listed in the manual
[05:09] <jkanter> How do you find out what shell scripts run at boot time?
[05:09] <FarrisG> farous: and in the log, before it gives the error I mentioned, it shows the supported sync ranges
[05:09] <Cntryboy> What is a simple file decryptor for linux sorta like iron key for windows?
[05:09] <farous> FarrisG: have no idea then sorry. but i know for ex that i have to reduce the frequ of my monitor for high resolu
[05:09] <trainer> alleyoppster, yes it is installed
[05:09] <trainer> alleyoopster, yes it is installed

[05:10] <ubotu> gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto
[05:10] <FarrisG> here is my xorg log: http://pastebin.ca/69883
[05:10] <Cntryboy> noiesmo who is that to?
[05:11] <farous> FarrisG: by the way you can speicfy it in the modes as "1440x900@60" that is for 60 hz refresh rate
[05:11] <KenSentMe> Who was here earlier asking about installing a printer from command line?
[05:11] <noiesmo> Cntryboy, you you can set up gpg then you can archive and encrypt files folders with passpphrase etc
[05:11] <Cntryboy> is it hard to set up gpg?
[05:12] <digggg> !wine
[05:12] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wine for more information.
[05:12] <livingdaylight> noiesmo: k3b settings. then at the top it says Settings which was un-crossed. I've checked it and it for, it says: use for burning group
[05:12] <Geev8> hi all

[05:14] <Cntryboy> kk
[05:14] <alleyoopster> trainer: i guess you are installing this way as it was too slow. it mentions a deb file, you could uninstall and try the deb. Or you could go for Opera - v9 is just out and it beats Firefox IMHO
[05:14] <livingdaylight> noiesmo: i wrote cdrom (but it is dvd player yea?) how do i add myself to cdrom group?
[05:15] <Cntryboy> but in this guide it is talking about generating keys.. I want to be able to type in a pass phrase like you said.
[05:15] <noiesmo> livingdaylight, gnome
[05:15] <trainer> I have done a complete uninstall through synaptic and then reinstalled
[05:15] <Cntryboy> I dunno im dl'ing it now
[05:15] <livingdaylight> noiesmo: yes
[05:15] <trainer> is there a process for uninstalling the previous deb?
[05:15] <Hhhhh> problem: for some reason I don't get any sound in planeshift
[05:16] <KenSentMe> What password do i use at the CUPS web administrion?
[05:16] <noiesmo> livingdaylight, there should be a user manager but i'm on kde so not sure were it is in gnome
[05:16] <livingdaylight> noiesmo: yes, i use gnome, if that was the question
[05:16] <jkanter> trainer: use synaptic and remove the old debian repositories and packages
[05:16] <Samus_Aran> anyone know how to get the files in /etc/postfix that postfix needs to run ?  apt-get install postfix did not create any of them
[05:16] <noiesmo> Cntryboy, you'll be able to do passphrase
[05:16] <KenSentMe> Samus_Aran: /etc/postfix is empty?
[05:17] <livingdaylight> noiesmo: ok, i'll have to ask someone else about that. but do you know how i can tell if it is a dvd writer at all. What if it is just a dvd rom reader/player
[05:17] <Samus_Aran> it errors out when run, missing files like post-install, postfix-files, postfix-script, etc.
[05:17] <Cntryboy> ok
[05:17] <Samus_Aran> I have been grabbing them from /usr/share/doc/postfix-doc/examples/, but it seems like this should be "just working"
[05:17] <noiesmo> livingdaylight, open k3b go settings go configure k3b then devices

[05:19] <Cntryboy> noesmo, maybe im looking to far into the page, but that is a lot of stuff to do that doesn't even make sense..
[05:19] <MrGreen> yeah ok ..... lol
[05:19] <MrGreen> did that
[05:19] <kmilo> What is the default password for postgresql root ?
[05:19] <Samus_Aran> MrGreen: and what did it tell you ?
[05:19] <MrGreen> not found
[05:19] <livingdaylight> noiesmo: says no. It appears it is not a dvd writer at all
[05:19] <trainer> jkanter, OK, completely removed firefox and firefox-gnome-support, now what, install from the .deb ?
[05:19] <MrGreen> EE package not found
[05:20] <noiesmo> livingdaylight, bugger
[05:20] <KenSentMe> Samus_Aran: when i installed postfix all those files where already there
[05:20] <jkanter> trainer: yes
[05:20] <Samus_Aran> MrGreen: then you need to add those other repositories. the instructions are at the URLs listed by the bot above
[05:20] <Samus_Aran> KenSentMe: which packages did you install ?
[05:20] <MrGreen> got em all ....
[05:20] <Cntryboy> noiesmo, I didn't do what it said on the page I went ahead and typed kgpg in term and im at the kgpg wizard
[05:20] <livingdaylight> noiesmo: yea, really. Bought it at a computer fair. Now i'll have to go back. Looks like they gave me the wrong kit
[05:20] <MrGreen> loaded
[05:20] <`MArceLL`> hi
[05:20] <MrGreen> just wondered if it works for you?
[05:20] <Samus_Aran> KenSentMe: I just removed the /etc/postfix/ directory and did an "apt-get install --reinstall postfix", but it only created the dir with 3 files in it
[05:21] <noiesmo> Cntryboy, np :)
[05:21] <Samus_Aran> MrGreen: if you can't find flashplugin-nonfree, then you don't have them.  I have that one installed
[05:21] <orbin> carlf1: you there?
[05:21] <Samus_Aran> MrGreen: did you refresh your package list already ?
[05:21] <MrGreen> trying that now
[05:21] <Samus_Aran> MrGreen: I think that is "apt-cache update"
[05:21] <noiesmo> livingdaylight, doesn't say anything on the unit it self
[05:22] <Solon12> is there any way to make it so that when i push some key combination like Alt+1, ubuntu will automatically type a predetermined line of text? I use certain lines of text over and over during the same and this would save a lot of time
[05:22] <Cntryboy> noiesmo: do I need to put my real name and real email address down in the key management section of the wizard
[05:22] <livingdaylight> noiesmo: DVD rom. Hmmm.....
[05:22] <noiesmo> Cntryboy, no
[05:22] <MrGreen> weird not working here ..
[05:23] <MrGreen> can I grab it in synaptic?
[05:23] <noiesmo> livingdaylight, maybe the dude at the fairs tring to pull wool over your eyes :
[05:23] <noiesmo> :(
[05:23] <Samus_Aran> Solon12: that is up to your window manager, as it is the one that handles the keyboard shortcuts.  the default is Gnome for Ubuntu, KDE for Kubuntu
[05:23] <livingdaylight> noismo: didn't come boxed. just in a plastic
[05:24] <Samus_Aran> Solon12: there may also be separate apps you can run to make it easy to create a list of text-entry shortcuts
[05:24] <wastrel> grab what in synaptic
[05:24] <livingdaylight> noiesmo: yea, i hope it was a genuine mistake
[05:25] <noiesmo> livingdaylight, me too well you'll find out when you go back
[05:25] <livingdaylight> noiesmo: inconvenient. Yea, tomorrow. I want compensation!
[05:25] <livingdaylight> noiesmo: some free memory!
[05:25] <noiesmo> livingdaylight, haha
[05:26] <noiesmo> livingdaylight, :)
[05:26] <noiesmo> livingdaylight, well if anything a lesson learned is always check packaging etc before leave the fair
[05:26] <C_REATiVE_> re
[05:26] <orbin> carlf1: people in #linuxhelp worked it out.  you need man-db
[05:27] <jorgp> I am trying to build garnome 2.15, it wants to build avahi, but fails because it can not find pygtk, I have installed every -dev package I could find related to that,, but it still fails, what am I missing?
[05:27] <livingdaylight> noiesmo: true. I'm too trusting  :)
[05:27] <orbin> carlf1: man is a symlink to /lib/man-db/man
[05:27] <Cntryboy> noiesmo: I enter my pass phrase and it generated a key. Now do I need to write the key ID down. Also, at the bottom it says Revocation Certificate, it is recommended to save or print a revocation certificate in case your key is compromised.. what does this mean?
[05:27] <jorgp> I even install apt-get build-dep avahi
[05:27] <Samus_Aran> gotta go...
[05:28] <warty> holq
[05:28] <warty> holq
[05:28] <warty> a tql
[05:28] <noiesmo> Cntryboy, not sure i just ignored it but to be safe write down key ID if its there
[05:28] <Cntryboy> okay did you check the save as under revocation certificate?
[05:28] <warty> i, , ,iriq,
[05:29] <macozz> Hello!
[05:30] <macozz> I am having a strange problem with a pcmcia modem in dapper...
[05:30] <kalosaurusrex> where is the multiple desktop feature that lets one move the mouse to the edge of the screen and then it changes to the next desktop?
[05:30] <carlf1> orbin: thanks
[05:30] <noiesmo> Cntryboy, yeh
[05:31] <carlf1> orbin: ah - the symlink - was wondering why there wasn't something in a more 'normal' dir
[05:31] <Cntryboy> k thats all done.. now I gottaa figure out how to add files lol :)
[05:31] <dr_willis> kalosaurusrex, many window managers/desktop envriroments have that feature
[05:31] <macozz> I use to work with it in 5.10 but now dapper does not recognize it... pcmcia network intefaces work fine, however
[05:31] <dr_willis> kalosaurusrex,   often its set where it just does it while dragging a window
[05:31] <kalosaurusrex> ahh. true true.  using kubuntu ;)
[05:31] <nalioth> where are your 'last known session' records kept for gdm ? when i log in, no matter what session i last used, xfce comes up no matter what
[05:32] <macozz> anyone has idea why this is happens? the modem is a 5HRTAI-31904-M5-E, Encore, listed as fully supported by Linux in Linmodem list...
[05:32] <wastrel> nalioth:  ~/.gnome at a guess
[05:32] <wastrel> or gnome2
[05:33] <rdz> hi all, anyone here with a working kdetv?
[05:33] <killaz> ok linux aint ready yet for synchonization of mobiles and contacts........ I looked the whole day but no luck.. too bad
[05:34] <wastrel> killaz:  palm?
[05:34] <killaz> nope ericsson....
[05:34] <Cntryboy> noiesmo: this is kinda complicated.. lol I mean not really but it is. The howto is really wierd. I guess its doing it all by terminal when the wizard does it.. Do you know how I can add a file for cryption?
[05:34] <killaz> wastrel, multisync was a nice start but it's buggy
[05:34] <mheath[laptop] > killaz, I love the way you worded that, with lots of wholesome arrogance: I couldn't get it to work, therefore it doesn't work!
[05:34] <Cntryboy> I don't need to make or add keys to anyone else this is for me.
[05:35] <Frogzoo> killaz: the bugs in sync aren't at the linux end :^/
[05:35] <killaz> mheath[laptop] , no I got it to work for 75% with multysinc...but multisync is buggy
[05:35] <Toma-> !background
[05:35] <ubotu> I know nothing about background
[05:36] <noiesmo> Cntryboy, in kde i right click on file folder and select action then do archive and encrypt maybe you can do this in gnome as well
[05:36] <killaz> Frogzoo, ok. maybe i should say the sync apps for linux...
[05:36] <wastrel> killaz:  call ericsson and tell them to release a driver
[05:36] <killaz> Frogzoo, :S
[05:36] <snoops> mheath[laptop] , ya know though.. if it's hard to use/hard to work out then it may as well not work.. That's another discussion though ;)
[05:36] <Toma-> Anyone know how to make gnome rotate a set of backgrounds?
[05:36] <noiesmo> Cntryboy, as far as im awware you only need passphrase to extract
[05:36] <killaz> wastrel, no that's not the problem.... I can connect to my erricsson with blue-tooth and everything..
[05:36] <ranpha> how cahn i mount a share (smbfs) with my as user and not root
[05:37] <FlimFlamMan> i'm trying to decide on an imap server to store my mail on my workstation.  any recommendations?
[05:37] <Cntryboy> noiesmo: I've tried to right click files to do what you said you do. Nothing new in the right click box to select action and archive ect
[05:37] <killaz> wastrel, but when I sync for the first time and then try the second time for example with multisync it gives an error with Evolution not with the mobile..
[05:37] <Cntryboy> now I see create archive
[05:37] <noiesmo> Cntryboy, gnome or kde
[05:37] <Cntryboy> wonder if thats it
[05:37] <Cntryboy> gnome
[05:37] <killaz> so it connects everytime perfect with the mobile device...
[05:38] <killaz> but the 2 big names in sync world as I read are multisyn and kitchensync..
[05:38] <killaz> but of them are not ready yet.. still under heavy development
[05:38] <Cntryboy> create archive is just for tars ect
[05:38] <Cntryboy> mm
[05:38] <noiesmo> Cntryboy, i dont know gnome that well so not sure is there an archiver app in the menu of gnome
[05:38] <killaz> mheath[laptop] ,  so it's not arrogance.. but the truth!
[05:39] <Ng> noiesmo: file-runner :)
[05:39] <ranpha> how can i mount a share (smbfs) with my as user and not root
[05:39] <Cntryboy> well I have alittle lock in my taskbar
[05:39] <noiesmo> Cntryboy, Ng> noiesmo: file-runner :)
[05:39] <Cntryboy> when I click on it, it goes to key management-kgpg
[05:39] <Cntryboy> you lost me on that last line :(
[05:39] <Cntryboy> lol
[05:39] <killaz> mheath[laptop] , or do you not agree with the above said?
[05:39] <killaz> mheath[laptop] , do you use synchronization?
[05:40] <carlf1> im trying to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto and get ssh-copy-id root@dev
[05:40] <carlf1> /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found
[05:40] <mheath[laptop] > killaz, I feel honored that you spent a long time trying to vindicate yourself to someone who made a joking jab against you.
[05:40] <noiesmo> Cntryboy, Ng suggested using file-runner maybe there's option there not sure about gnome
[05:40] <carlf1> same if I use my username instead of root - anyone know what I missed?
[05:40] <Cntryboy> file runner is what?
[05:40] <Cntryboy> lol I already have this installed
[05:41] <killaz> mheath[laptop] , maybe the joke wasnt funny?! But still.... LOL!! :D
[05:41] <TankEnMate> brb

[05:46] <amarokker> Hi all, i am trying to copy somethings off a DVD-R in pretty bad shape-

[05:48] <Mnabil> kalosaurusrex i'm not on the lap top
[05:48] <amarokker> orbin: nautilus
[05:49] <kalosaurusrex> ah, well if the wifi card is installed correctly try editing the  /etc/network/interfaces to something like this:
[05:49] <kalosaurusrex> # The primary network interface   iface eth1 inet dhcp wireless-essid XXXXXXXXXXX wireless-key XXXXXXXX  auto eth1
[05:49] <orbin> amarokker: is it still open?  try doing alt+f2,, enter xkill, then click on the window
[05:49] <kalosaurusrex> where eth1 is your wifi card. run iwconfig to see which one it is.
[05:49] <kalosaurusrex> but it's hard if you aren't at the system.
[05:49] <kalosaurusrex> there is lots of info on the forums too
[05:50] <dr_willis> amarokker,  could try using 'dd' to make a image file of the dvd, then mount it with the loopback interface. is how ive heard of it being done befor
[05:50] <kalosaurusrex> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185841&highlight=wifi comes to mind.

[05:55] <ddrj> hey everyone, i'm trying to do an hdinstall through grub, so i've mounted both vmlinuz and initrd.gz, but the booter hangs after it goes through a series of detecting hardware and just hangs, then drops to a shell. anyone know how to resolve this?
[05:56] <ddrj> i've searched on the forums and seems like a LOT of people are having this, but no one knows what to do
[05:56] <ddrj> seems to be in the latest desktop iso
[05:56] <Answer> ddrj, what are you trying to do?  just reinstall from the cd
[05:56] <ddrj> i can't, because i don't have a cdrom on this computer, so i need to do a hard drive install
[05:57] <DevGet> I changed from KDE to GNOME, but now when I play files in amaroK in GNOME, amaroK just jumps to the next song and so on, how to slove the problem?
[05:57] <ITSme> #register
[05:57] <Hhhhh> DevGet, most likely you need to install libxine-extracodecs
[05:57] <ddrj> so in a situation such as mine, i searched on what to do and downloaded the .iso file, extracted vmlinuz and initrd.gz, loaded it through grub, which was fine, but the bootloader hangs after detecting my system specs and drops me to a shell
[05:57] <Hhhhh> !mp3
[05:57] <snoops> and get the latest gstreamer DevGet

[05:58] <Hhhhh> DevGet, do what ubotu just said
[05:58] <Answer> ddrj, sounds like your hardware is not compatible or the settings are wrong?  has it ever worked with linux before
[05:58] <DevGet> thx Hhhhh
[05:58] <ITSme> ?
[05:58] <ITSme> #Ubuntu
[05:58] <Answer> ddrj, you could also try making a boot partition with the image there
[05:58] <ITSme> #ubunto
[05:58] <ITSme> ubuntu
[05:58] <ITSme> #ubuntu
[05:59] <ddrj> Answer: yeah it works perfectly with the latest knoppix :\ that's the problem it works fine, and it's not just me that's having the problem, i went on ubuntuforums and seems like a common problem :\
[05:59] <ITSme> #Ubuntu
[05:59] <tFF> there are three types of downloads. SERVER, DESKTOP and ALTERNATE. what's ALTERNATE? is it server or desktop. what's the diff?
[05:59] <ITSme> #Ubuntu

[05:59] <dr_willis> ITSme,  get the desktop then
[05:59] <insane> hello all

[06:01] <insane> idd a shared windows map
[06:01] <insane> on a other pc in the network

[06:04] <blackline> id like to change my screenresolution in x to: 1366x768. when i go to the screen resulution-settings that option aint there. can i do this manually somewhere?
[06:05] <mjr> blackline, you can; you'll have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually, probably also give the detailed mode specs since that's a pretty nonstandard mode (afaik)
[06:05] <ddrj> hey Answer
[06:05] <orbin> blackline: 1366? is that virtual or does your monitor support that?

[06:07] <kidwithjedipower> For any of those that are familiar with evolution - the email/calendar/outlook replacement application, I've got a problem, so could you private message me and see if you can help? Thanks
[06:07] <blackline> orbon - thats what my lcd tv support
[06:08] <snoops> how resilient is ext3 and reiserfs in the reliability department? eg if the machine loses power while writing, etc?
[06:08] <mjr> snoops, I'd recommend ext3 over reiser in terms of reliability
[06:08] <snoops> how about ext3 compared to ntfs?
[06:08] <mjr> though both should be pretty resilient against power loss
[06:09] <mjr> *shrug*
[06:09] <krazykit> snoops: you can't use ntfs in linux, really
[06:09] <snoops> well, yeah.. but I can read from it
[06:09] <Madeye> is there any movie player that can play .ASX format?
[06:09] <snoops> I'm just slowly moving a few machines on my home network over to linux
[06:09] <krazykit> but if you're only reading, a power loss shouldn't damage it
[06:09] <mjr> snoops, if you only read, reliability won't enter into it :] 
[06:09] <dr_willis> mad try vlc
[06:09] <krazykit> Madeye: if you have w32codecs, it should work with anything
[06:10] <snoops> mainly windows boxes mjr.. with ntfs.. no problems if they're writing and there's a power failure
[06:10] <orbin> would keeping a distro's /home partition when installing a replacement distro be bad? i.e. is it better to just backup important files and do the "format/recreate and copy over" thing?
[06:10] <snoops> the last thing I want though is after formatting those drives, and copying the data back
[06:10] <avis> i have a supported wireless card under ubuntu.  i am able to connect through the gnome system networking setup fine.  it does take a little time to get going though.  i wanted to try network-manager-gnome but it kept on telling it failed to see a network device.  my /etc/network/interfaces is here http://pastebin.com/727589
[06:10] <Madeye> krazykit, I've w32codecs installed but I tried to run this http://www.alhurra.com/programs/Video/iTECH.asx with totem-gstreamer, xine and mplayer and none worked
[06:11] <blackline> orbin - that whats my lcd tv says it supports.
[06:11] <krazykit> Madeye: err, i get a file that's only 103 bytes long
[06:11] <blackline> orbin - there are several lines there, should i write in the resolution i want in each part?

[06:11] <lens> I'm kind of teaching myself to graduate to "ubuntu sysadmin"... (but I'm a noob lol)  for my personal pc, I would probably have a regular admin account with full access and a office account with more sensitive material but very limited access... is this right?
[06:12] <krazykit> Madeye: although loading it in firefox with mplayerplug-in, it works just fine
[06:12] <orbin> blackline: before you edit that, make sure you back it up first (and know how to revert if the new one doesn't work)
[06:12] <orbin> blackline: this might be helpful: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto

[06:20] <Consty> how can I install flash 8 using synaptic?  or is the only ver available 7?
[06:20] <jorgp> when I run azureus, I get a dialog box on bottom right corner of screen, but I can not get rid of it, clicking on hide all or hide does nothing, how can I get rid of it?
[06:21] <NoUse> Consty macromedia hasn't made flash 8 fo rlinux
[06:21] <lgc> noiesmo, what do I do if k3b and gnomebaker keep telling me that my CD writer is not enabled for write operations (as it should be)?
[06:21] <kidwithjedipower> hm, that document doesn't see to have what I'm looking for, I've tried completely removing evolution, but when I reinstall, some of my calendar information is still there, I've tried deleting ~/.evolution folder and reinstalling, but it doesn't go away. I just want a fresh install of it so I can start over, how do I do that?
[06:21] <Geev8> noiesmo: how can i install it can you instruct me?
[06:21] <NoUse> Geev8 'sudo aptitude install k3b' should work
[06:21] <hanasaki> why does my IP boot as addr:169.254.101.201
[06:21] <noiesmo> lgc, im not sure sorry
[06:21] <Consty> NoUse: Doh.. you're right.. boo :(
[06:22] <NoUse> Consty they say they will have flash 9 for linux
[06:22] <orbin> would keeping a distro's /home partition when installing a replacement distro be bad? i.e. is it better to just backup important files and do the "format/recreate and copy over" thing?
[06:23] <lgc> noiesmo, it's a cdrecord error. But the device is mounted as read-write on fstab...
[06:23] <KenSentMe> orbin: what distro's where you thinking off?
[06:23] <Agrajag> orbin: I've been using the same /home through redhat 7, madrake 8/9, gentoo 1.4, and all versions of ubuntu
[06:23] <orbin> KenSentMe: dapper -> debian :)
[06:24] <Ng> orbin: you may have problems if one distro has older/newer versions of some software - the settings in your home directory may confuse it, so perhaps burn off your /home/ partition to disc and reformat, but it shouldn't be too bad - and you could always have /home/orbin/oldhome/ with your previous /home/orbin/ in and move things across as you need them
[06:24] <orbin> Agrajag: oh, ok. awesome, thanks.
[06:24] <Agrajag> sometimes one or two programs act up and I just nuke their settings, but for the most part it's fine
[06:24] <kidwithjedipower> Agrajag, how do you "nuke" their settings?
[06:24] <Agrajag> kidwithjedipower: you just delete the file that contains their settings
[06:24] <orbin> Ng: ok, so possibility of some problems, gotcha.  guess i'll do the backup thing.
[06:25] <lens> I just need a yes or no answer on this, can you log in as root on ubuntu?
[06:25] <lgc> nalioth, you awake?
[06:25] <kidwithjedipower> sorry for being a n00b, but I tried that with a program and it didn't really work
[06:25] <KenSentMe> lens: yes
[06:25] <Agrajag> lens: yes, though by default, not directly.
[06:25] <lens> from the main screen?
[06:25] <kidwithjedipower> it kept some stuff and gave me errors about other things not being there
[06:25] <nalioth> lgc: buenos dias
[06:25] <KenSentMe> lens: no
[06:25] <lens> oh ok, that's what I meant.
[06:25] <lgc> nalioth, long time no "see"!
[06:25] <Geev8> noisemo: am installing it i will let u know after finish if you will be there
[06:25] <lens> you can't type... root and a pass at the login screen ever.
[06:26] <KenSentMe> lens: nope
[06:26] <nalioth> lgc: yup, how are you?
[06:26] <lgc> nalioth, perhaps you can help me with my last beef...
[06:26] <lens> k cool thx kensentme
[06:26] <nalioth> lgc: join me in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[06:26] <KenSentMe> lens: no problemo
[06:26] <_bt> lens, dont listen to these foold
[06:26] <Trinisan> QUes: important, just changed my vidcard, whats the command to invoke the xorg setup
[06:26] <lgc> nalioth, off-topic we go!
[06:26] <Trinisan> from the cli
[06:26] <KenSentMe> _bt: standard you can't
[06:26] <KenSentMe> _bt: i know it is possible
[06:26] <nalioth> lens: it's not recommended that you DO log in as root
[06:27] <KenSentMe> _he just wanted a yes/no answer
[06:27] <kidwithjedipower> Agrajag, what folder do I delete for evolution including to get rid of calendar settings?
[06:27] <lens> nalioth... yeah, I'm trying to figure some things out... I get frustrated with this channel sometimes cause its BUSY!
[06:27] <Agrajag> kidwithjedipower: if you're talking about a GNOME program there's probably crap in gconf
[06:28] <KenSentMe> lens: what is your problem then?
[06:28] <nalioth> lens: unless you've installed ubuntu from the "expert install" it's not good to enable the root account
[06:28] <kidwithjedipower> ah.. thank you, I'll try that.. sorry for the newb questions.. I'm trying
[06:28] <Agrajag> kidwithjedipower: I would guess .evolution/calendar/ though
[06:28] <KenSentMe> !noob
[06:28] <ubotu> Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[06:28] <orbin> kidwithjedipower: don't be sorry
[06:29] <kidwithjedipower> I've deleted the whole ~/.evolution folder and the reinstalled
[06:29] <kidwithjedipower> so it was probably in that other folder
[06:29] <Agrajag> then check gconf
[06:29] <Candamir> is there a program in Ubuntu that allows me to select and connect to wireless access points?
[06:29] <Agrajag> gconf isn't a folder, it's like the windows registry, for gnome
[06:29] <kidwithjedipower> ah, ok
[06:29] <KenSentMe> maybe we should have a ubotu message for people excusing themself for being new to ubuntu
[06:30] <kidwithjedipower> how do I get to it?
[06:30] <Kibou> gconf actually is a folder
[06:30] <Agrajag> gconf-editor will let you see the whole thing, graphically. be careful editing things though.
[06:30] <wastrel> the
[06:30] <kidwithjedipower> ah, thanks a lot
[06:30] <lens> Kensentme, nalioth... I want to learn sysadmin more + security at the same time... I had three accounts set up... one for pure admin, one for normal activies, and one for work... (only alwowed to write and print)... anyaways... my personal (middle account) needs to be able to use stuff like etherape and firewall and stuff... and it's pissing me off and I don't know what to do! lol
[06:30] <Agrajag> Kibou: yes, but there's no sense in telling him where it is and having him accidentally nuking all his gnoem settings
[06:31] <kidwithjedipower> I'm going to try all that, thanks again for your help, but I've got to go
[06:31] <Hoxzer_> Is it save to write NTFS in ubuntu 6.06?
[06:31] <Hoxzer_> :O
[06:31] <nalioth> !sudo > lens
[06:31] <Hoxzer_> Guys :)
[06:32] <Hoxzer_> and girls (maybe)
[06:32] <DBO> Hoxzer_, no
[06:32] <garryF> Ubuntu does this disabling the root account and using sudo or gksudo are responses to times when a user might log in as root, forget they are root and accidentally do something damaging to their system especially when one is new to linux.
[06:32] <Hoxzer_> DBO: But what if I use "turvavy" would it help?
[06:32] <orbin> nalioth: heh, neat.
[06:32] <Cntryboy> anyone know how to uninstall this kgpg?
[06:32] <DBO> Hoxzer_, to be honest Im not sure what that is...
[06:33] <lens> nalioth, I'll read that stuff I'm just frustrated. putting my 35 character password in ever 10 minutes is an easy way to go insane!
[06:33] <DBO> lens, you can lengthen that time
[06:33] <garryF> After awhile, it begins to feel handy, not to have to log in as root and then log out every time one might need to do some quickie fix.
[06:33] <Hoxzer_> DBO: :D it is finnish word for that belt u wear in the car
[06:34] <lens> DBO, yeah, I wish I knew how.
[06:34] <KenSentMe> DBO: how do you lengthen that time?
[06:34] <DBO> lemme see if I can find you two a link
[06:34] <KenSentMe> DBO: can't wait ;)
[06:34] <garryF> Wow, lens, you shouldn't have to put in such a long password. I'd change that monster. No need to torture yourself.
[06:34] <Fee^> lens: just open a terminal with 'sudo su -' and leave it logged in
[06:35] <Candamir> does ubuntu has a package that supports WLAN?
[06:35] <lens> garryF, I've seen longer LOL
[06:35] <Geev8> is it possible to unistall a program from linux?
[06:35] <garryF> I had a friend who had a game on his gamecube, required him to enter a 64 char case sensitive password. Needless to say ... the gamecube took a flight test out the window.
[06:35] <juanca7777_> hello everyone
[06:36] <DBO> lens, KenSentMe, http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/man/sudoers.html
[06:36] <nalioth> lens: you can set the sudo timeout on how long it keeps your password
[06:36] <DBO> look at the timestamp_timeout
[06:36] <lens> nalioth, that would be nice, DBO, thanks for the link...
[06:36] <garryF> Thats nice to know nalioth!
[06:36] <juanca7777_> anyone here knows about a soft similar to Borland's Together which lets you generate UML class diagrams from a given folder containing source code?
[06:36] <KenSentMe> DBO: thanx
[06:37] <Micksa> okay, so is everyone aware that grep -i is damn slow?
[06:37] <lens> BDO KenSentMe nalioth... how do I transfer or... sync... my favorites between my accounts?
[06:37] <lens> w FF1.5
[06:38] <DBO> lens, you could have a login/logout script that copies them into a master file
[06:38] <DBO> so long as you never use firefox in two different accounts at the same time it should be ok
[06:38] <lgc> nalioth, you kindly suggested me to go off-topic for an on-topic subject and you stood me up there!
[06:38] <NoUse> Micksa it doesn't seem that slow to me
[06:39] <lens> DBO, that sounds hard.
[06:39] <juanca7777_> Micksa, whats the expression you're grep-ing so that I can test it?
[06:39] <DBO> lens, I guess it depends how familiar you are with some system configuration files and scripting
[06:39] <garryF> I heard a podcast that says that Ubuntu is based on debian unstable and as a result bugs creep into Ubuntu. I am skeptical about this. Anyone able to confirm or deny this? Seems pretty stable to me for a distro supposedly based on deb unstable.
[06:40] <nalioth> lgc: i answered your question in #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:40] <Micksa> try
[06:40] <Micksa> time grep longi /usr/share/dict/words
[06:40] <Micksa> time grep -i longi /usr/share/dict/words
[06:40] <Hagbard_Ub> garryF: Compared to Debian Ubuntu is unstable
[06:41] <EnCh4nt3r> how to disable the 'intel-agp' module within the LIVE CD ?
[06:41] <lens> DBO, not really, if only I could get these damn gksudo and gksu files to quit prompting me for passwords and run on my desktop privaleged account, I want to do based on the program not the use, it just wont frickin work.
[06:41] <GumbyNPokey> Hi.  I just installed dapper drake on m y laptop.  When I try to hibernate, I'm told "Not enough free swap" to hibernate.  Well, this sorta makes sense because I have 768 MB ram and the installer made my swap partition 329 MB...  ack!  other than reinstalling again, what can I do to have hibernate work properly???
[06:41] <Bazzi> garryF: debian unstable is not that unstable compared to other things. for things to become "debian stable" they need to be a rock you cannot destroy, basically. so ubuntu takes a snapshot of debian and makes it as bugfree as possible in the given timeframe
[06:41] <garryF> Hagbard_Ub Hmm. Too bad. I'd be trying debian too just for fun but they are still stuck way back on kernel 6.4.x
[06:41] <wastrel> Micksa:  i get that back in about 1 second
[06:41] <orbin> juanca7777_: well, i know an app that can do it the other way i.e. generate code from uml
[06:41] <GumbyNPokey> (note: I have 4 GB free space on my main "/" partition)
[06:41] <DBO> lens, learn about the sudoers file and how to use the sudo command, you can make some stuff passwordless
[06:41] <Candamir> garryF: Maybe Ubuntu doesn't match /Debians/ definition of stable, but it is released more often
[06:41] <Micksa> wastrel: check the "user" time on each command
[06:42] <rdz> is somebody here with a working xv-output and fglrx-drivers?
[06:42] <garryF> Oh, stable means not even a caveman can break it. /ducks and hides from the cavemen.
[06:42] <wastrel> Micksa:  real .9; user .7;
[06:42] <Micksa> ah! it's okay in breezy
[06:42] <lens> DBO: I tried the NOPASSWD thing... I tried all that and visudo said no errors... still didn't work
[06:42] <Micksa> but not in dapper
[06:42] <garryF> Candamir I was thinking the same thing.
[06:42] <Hoxzer_> :)
[06:43] <juanca7777_> orbin, hi man ;) thanks but I want/need the generation of diagrams from code not the other way around...but just out of curosity what's the tool
[06:43] <Micksa> wastrel: now try it without -i and compare
[06:43] <orbin> juanca7777_: umbrello.  try searching the repositories maybe
[06:43] <Candamir> Bazzi: We kind of wrote the same thing, but I didn't notice you already answered...
[06:43] <dead> hi, does anyone here work with broadcom 4319 ????
[06:43] <lens> DBO, I'm at that point were I've put so much work into it, I'm going to frickin figure it out.
[06:44] <juanca7777_> orbin, yeap I know umbrello, I rather use dia, just for easthetics reasons
[06:44] <JINDAL> hi guys........ i hav erased my grub .............. damm windows............ help me!! i hav boot partition safe and sound in d / partition itself......
[06:44] <orbin> juanca7777_: i love dia!
[06:44] <GumbyNPokey> Hi.  I just installed dapper drake on m y laptop.  When I try to hibernate, I'm told "Not enough free swap" to hibernate.  Well, this sorta makes sense because I have 768 MB ram and the installer made my swap partition 329 MB...  ack!  other than reinstalling again, what can I do to have hibernate work properly? (note: I have 4 GB free space on  "/")
[06:45] <garryF> Oh, btw, I tried to play some video, on linux I found that the sound was out-of-sync when playing it. I said it was funny, and thought Ubuntu was at fault. Turns out the *original* video was out of sync!
[06:45] <wastrel> it's less
[06:45] <juanca7777_> anyone here knows about a soft similar to Borland's Together which lets you generate UML class diagrams from a given folder containing source code?
[06:45] <Micksa> wastrel: *much* less
[06:45] <Micksa> like 1/100
[06:45] <tonokiks> hi, does anyone here work with broadcom 4319 wireless????
[06:45] <juanca7777_> orbin, yeap dia rules :)
[06:45] <garryF> I didn't say ubuntu was at fault, I just thought it might be btw.
[06:45] <EnCh4nt3r> how to disable the 'intel-agp' module within the LIVE CD ?
[06:46] <khaladan> is there any way to get `ls` to just list directories?
[06:46] <Candamir> hey, is there a reason why when I just plug my ethernet cable in, I have not internet connection, only when I restart my computer I have?
[06:46] <orbin> juanca7777_: autodia - generates UML diagrams from perl or C++ code
[06:47] <EnCh4nt3r> one more question, does anyone answer all this questions anyways?
[06:47] <juanca7777_> orbin, is that a dia plug-in or an "independent" app?
[06:47] <EnCh4nt3r> or just building questions database?
[06:47] <EnCh4nt3r> pwnzzz
[06:47] <Micksa> hang on
[06:47] <gemidjy> bu!
[06:47] <orbin> juanca7777_: read the descr.
[06:47] <Micksa> ow!
[06:47] <orbin> juanca7777_: i think it's standalone.  it makes xml files for dia
[06:47] <Micksa> it's a bluddy locale problem
[06:48] <Micksa> if I go "export LC_ALL=C" the problem disappears
[06:48] <chris12349> hey I'm trying to allow a windows user to connect to my smb share created in nautilus.  I can connect fine from another linux box.  the windows user can see the share but it asks for a login and password. What credentials is it looking for?
[06:48] <juanca7777_> orbin, thanks I'll try that
[06:48] <Micksa> okay, never mind :)
[06:48] <Micksa> now to figure out why I have a weirdass default locale
[06:48] <juanca7777_> orbin, did you solve your evolution compile problem, btw?
[06:48] <tonokiks> hi, does anyone here work with broadcom 4319 wireless????
[06:48] <orbin> juanca7777_: well i never had one, so yes :P
[06:50] <juanca7777_> orbin, lol, sorry I think you were the guy using debian stable wanting to compile the lattes evolution version to use his exchange mail
[06:50] <orbin> juanca7777_: nope, not me. :)
[06:50] <gnomefreak> Micksa: dapper?
[06:50] <juanca7777_> orbin, oups, then sorry :)
[06:50] <orbin> juanca7777_: no worries :)
[06:50] <ddrj> hey guys i'm trying to do an hdinstall of ubuntu, vmlinuz and initrd.gz load fine from grub ( http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/daily-installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/ ) but when it searches for my "INSTALLER ISO FILE" it can't find it, my iso file is in C:\ (hda1) so why can't it find it?
[06:50] <Micksa> gnomefreak: yes
[06:51] <streetpc> salut
[06:51] <gnomefreak> who in thier right mind would compile evo  (i never asked this) lol
[06:51] <Micksa> mslade@boo:/usr/share/doc/grep$ env|grep LANG
[06:51] <Micksa> LANG=en_AU.UTF-8
[06:51] <Micksa> LANGUAGE=en_AU:en
[06:51] <gnomefreak> Micksa: you gave me an idea on thing ty Micksa
[06:51] <Micksa> interesting that those should cause a slow grep
[06:51] <streetpc> quelqu'un s'y connait en problme de dmarrage ?
[06:51] <Micksa> eh wot?
[06:51] <ariqs> gnomeppp makes me use the same setup thing as system/admin/networking, which doesn't work. It does not detect my modem. I thought gnome-ppp was a frontend for wvdial? Why does wvdial in work in a terminal for me just fine?
[06:51] <streetpc> err
[06:51] <GumbyNPokey> Is it possible to resize my root "/" partition and make my swap bigger without reinstalling Ubuntu? (Note:  I'm running dapper drake)
[06:51] <gnomefreak> Micksa: a work around im working on in edgy
[06:52] <Micksa> ummkay/
[06:52] <streetpc> can anybody help me with booting problem ?
[06:52] <Spec> GumbyNPokey: you could just put a 'file' on your root partition and then use that file for more swap space
[06:52] <gnomefreak> streetpc: is it booting?
[06:52] <streetpc> not under windows
[06:52] <GumbyNPokey> Spec:  How do I do this?  (or... what should I search for in google)
[06:52] <streetpc> it is booting under linux
[06:52] <gnomefreak> streetpc: did it ever adter installing ubuntu?
[06:53] <gnomefreak> s/adter/after
[06:53] <streetpc> but I get a "Disk Error" when I try win
[06:53] <rixxon> why does it have to be so painful changing hostname, when it is so painless in winblows?

[06:53] <ddrj> hey guys i'm trying to do an hdinstall of ubuntu, vmlinuz and initrd.gz load fine from grub ( http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/daily-installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/ ) but when it searches for my "INSTALLER ISO FILE" it can't find it, my iso file is in C:\ (hda1) so why can't it find it?
[06:53] <orbin> rixxon: senthe ubotu trigger?
[06:53] <streetpc> gnomefreak: yes
[06:53] <orbin> *seen the
[06:53] <TankEnMate> heya micksa, jashawk here :)
[06:54] <GumbyNPokey> nevermind, since it's a fresh install anyway, I'll just reinstall ubuntu again....
[06:54] <ddrj> why does the installer try to find the iso file? it never finds it!! is there a way where i can specify a path to the ISO installer file from the installer?
[06:54] <garryF> I just made a discovery. My sound in linux with certain videos was too low to hear the words. I had it cranked all the way up. I found out the cause -- Alsamixer by default has the sound low. Once I brought the sound back up, everything was fine.
[06:54] <rixxon> orbin: not really?
[06:54] <orbin> ubotu tell rixxon about hostname
[06:54] <rixxon> orbin: i know how to change my hostname - but it forces me to relogin
[06:54] <TankEnMate> hows life in .au? i'm living in belfast these days.. unfortunately i have to go.. gotta meet the wife..
[06:54] <streetpc> gnomefreak: I tried fixboot and fixmbr, but it just doesn't work
[06:55] <orbin> hmm. why isn't the ubotu send working...
 gnomeppp makes me use the same setup thing as system/admin/networking, which doesn't work. It does not detect my modem. I thought gnome-ppp was a frontend for wvdial? Why does wvdial in work in a terminal for me just fine?
[06:55] <ddrj> HOW do i SPECIFY the path to the ISO file from the ISO installer
[06:55] <pepinito> can someone help me to mount another HD
[06:55] <gnomefreak> streetpc: look in /boot/grub/menu.lst file and make sure at the botton windows has a line like (chainloader    +1)
[06:55] <ddrj> instead of having it automatically search for it?
[06:55] <andyakadum> any one know how to install headless?
[06:55] <gnomefreak> !grub > streetpc
[06:56] <gnomefreak> streetpc: also look in your pm for more info

[07:00] <Micksa> gah
[07:01] <orbin> ddrj: what app are you using to do this?  whatt instructions are you following/
[07:01] <ddrj> orbin: i am using this http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/daily-installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/
[07:01] <garryF> ddrj Normally people use a program to burn the iso image to a cd making a bootable cd.
[07:01] <ddrj> the installer files from there, since my cd rom's broken and i want to do an hdinstall :)
[07:02] <garryF> Oh

[07:06] <orbin> ddrj: those don't mean much to me. sorry

[07:07] <neighborlee> sudo nvidia-glx-config enable < yields > Error: your X configuration has been altered., and I just reinstalled ubuntu dapper..known issue ? ;))
[07:07] <streetpc> gnomefreak > now when I choose win, I get "Disk Error"
[07:07] <ompaul> Geev8, if you go to system administration disks you can have a look at some stuff there once mounted you can use nautilus (if you like it) to navigate it you can also install mtools and do mdir mcopy and all sorts of pseudo dos stuff
[07:07] <Bazzi> neighborlee: just change it manually, I get that message every time
[07:07] <MattSta> how can i watch streaming videos on MPlayer
[07:07] <streetpc> gnomefreak > do you know how to restore a correct windows boot on this partition ?
[07:08] <Bassetts> gnomebaker doesnt recognise my dvd-rs, what can i do??
[07:08] <bekhazi> Does Ubuntu use Gnome?
[07:08] <ompaul> bekhazi, yes
[07:08] <andyakadum> yes
[07:08] <neighborlee> Bazzi: but its a known issue I take it,,and np i've done it millions of times :))
[07:08] <snoops> kubuntu for kde and xubuntu for xfce bekhazi
[07:09] <Bazzi> neighborlee: yeah it's some sort of common annoyance
[07:09] <bekhazi> How's Gnome compared to KDE these days?
[07:09] <snoops> but you can just install both desktops.. just an apt-get away..
[07:09] <MattSta> is there anyway to watch a movie on the internet in XFmedia or MPlayer?
[07:09] <init_6> lighter
[07:09] <andyakadum> gnomes good
[07:10] <andyakadum> is it possible to install headles
[07:10] <andyakadum> *headless
[07:10] <krazykit> bekhazi: it's just a matter of preference nowadays
[07:10] <ardchoille> bekhazi: asking that from a gnome or kde user, you're probably going to get a biased opinion. It's better to try them both and see which suits you best :)
[07:10] <NoUse> bekhazi http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kdegnome.html
[07:10] <bekhazi> What are the main differences?
[07:11] <krang> Hey, if I want to make XMMS the default for m3u/mp3 files, I just need to change /usr/share/applications/defaults.list to have audio/x-mp3=XMMS.desktop, yes?
[07:11] <webguy> anyone know if i reinstall mysql using apt-get if it will fix the users table - a bunch of users were deleted!
[07:11] <MisterN> hi
[07:11] <Dragoonz> why would i be able to authenicate in single user mode to AD with kinit username and not beable to out of single user mode?
[07:11] <snoops> do you have backups webguy?
[07:11] <orbin> bekhazi: gnome's more minimalistic.  but you really have to try them both for yourself to decide which one you like
[07:11] <snoops> because reinstalling won't revert to older backups..
[07:12] <webguy> not of the users table, just the data tables
[07:12] <snoops> out of luck then I guess.. bad luck
[07:12] <rambo3> MattSta, most of my movies work , firefox flicks , just that i have to open them in separate tab in ff to work, i think mplayer has some bug
[07:12] <orbin> krang: easier way is to do it w/ nautilus
[07:12] <orbin> !default > krang
[07:13] <GNeRaL> hi
[07:13] <krang> orbin: i need to do it by command line for multiple systems
[07:13] <orbin> krang: oh i see
[07:13] <krang> orbin: So did i get it right?
[07:14] <Bassetts> can someone help me with my dvd writer?
[07:14] <ariqs> gnomeppp makes me use the same setup thing as system/admin/networking, which doesn't work. It does not detect my modem. I thought gnome-ppp was a frontend for wvdial? Why does wvdial in work in a terminal for me just fine?
[07:14] <orbin> krang: never done it via cli. sorry.
[07:15] <krang> orbin: np
[07:15] <krang> so, er, anyone else know if I am setting my defaults properly?

[07:17] <bobstro>  i found the fix for my shift+backspace killing xserver (xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.us). i need that to run on every X startup. i'm thinking it should run before user login, so is there a better place than ~/.xsession?
[07:17] <erUSUL> caleb: gnomebaker?
[07:17] <caleb> I should install that?
[07:18] <caleb> ok, I was trying to use CD/DVD Creator which was included

[07:18] <patrick_king> yes
[07:19] <Bassetts> is there a bug already submitted where cds and dvds are mount, but then instantly (within 5secs) dissappears and cant be mounted?
[07:19] <Bassetts> and also my dvd-rw keeps making coasters, but it worked in breezy!
[07:19] <patrick_king> yes it is a network card which i will use for the net
[07:19] <caleb> patrick, go to system/administration/networking

[07:24] <tonokiks> Seveas, do you?
[07:24] <bekhazi> Seveas:As far as I can understand, software made for KDE, will have a very consistent look and feel. Would Gnome/Gtk software look and/or behave differently?
[07:24] <Bassetts> gah ANOTHER coaster
[07:24] <caleb> patrick, now select the wireless connection (if it's there) and click Properties. You should be able to connect to your network there.
[07:25] <patrick_king> Caleb: it doesnt see the pcmcia card only sees the modem and ethernet cable slot
[07:25] <Seveas> bekhazi, gtk will look out of place in a qt environment and vice versa
[07:25] <caleb> oh.
[07:25] <caleb> What model is the card
[07:25] <caleb> ?
[07:25] <jrib> deuce868: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Devilspie no need to compile on dapper now, but the usage info is still valid.  Be sure to check out the resource links as well
[07:25] <Bazzi> though gtk looks better in kde than vice versa :/
[07:25] <patrick_king> netgear

[07:25] <patrick_king> i will just check

[07:34] <patrick_king> no problem
[07:34] <rambo3> is opera broken in ubntu repos ?
[07:34] <caleb> does anyone know if Dapper has better wi-fi drivers?
[07:34] <cwillu> rambo3: installed it yesterday, seemed to work fine
[07:34] <andyakadum> I need to install headless, I have a keyboard!
[07:34] <andyakadum> I plan to administer it remotely
[07:34] <andyakadum> erik__ wtf are you on about? its a great desktop os!
[07:34] <_fluffee> Caled: When I choose to require WEP (I know, but all I have is 'B'), enter identical HEX strings at each end, I can not connect.
[07:34] <_fluffee> >>Err, Caleb, sorry.
[07:35] <moneyfirst> search for wpa support in ubuntuforums.org
[07:35] <rambo3> cwillu, from repos or opera web page ? getting some qt dependecy error
[07:35] <cwillu> erik__: I can see where you're coming from, although a fault in software bundled with isn't _technically_ a fault in the os
[07:35] <erik__> andyakadum: it is cool yes, but it's not usable as a desktop os unles you're able to hack your own os together by yourself
[07:35] <caleb> fluffee, not to insult or anything, but are you sure the key is correct, and that you're choosing the correct encryption options?
[07:35] <caleb> patrick, is it possible for you to upgrade your distro?
[07:35] <ariqs> I don't find it so great yet myself ;P When I made a program by accident that had an infinite loop in xp, i could just end task it. In linux, I get stuck and have to reset. Also, everything is just slower.
[07:35] <caleb> it may help
[07:35] <caleb> actuall, don't do that
[07:36] <cwillu> erik__:  one can make the case that xp is self breaking;  every day this week I've had a different friend bring his machine over to get the spyware cleaned off
[07:36] <caleb> i found some drivers
[07:36] <patrick_king> yes i could upgrade
[07:36] <erik__> cwillu: the "desktop os metaphore" is not about the kernel... to fulfill it the os needs to really work and be reliable as a desktop os... liniux isn't, at least not ubuntu
[07:36] <ariqs> and you have to fool around with sudo and passwords
[07:36] <garryF> I listened to a webcast, the latest #19 found on www.distrowatch.com that reported that Ubuntu has some issues with wireless, wpa and encryption.
[07:36] <cwillu> rambo3: let me check
[07:36] <ariqs> xp is far easier and faster ;P but linux is fun to mess with
[07:36] <garryF> The webcast was dated as of yesterday
[07:36] <bekhazi> Seveas: kde is qt and xchat is gtk
[07:36] <_fluffee> Caleb: Understood, & none taken.  I've done this with Debby a few times, and Windows very often.  On both my own and a local schools, and have torn down and redone this instance six or so times.
[07:36] <krazykit> garryF: it's not just ubuntu.
[07:36] <bekhazi> Seveas: the gtk and qt widgets dont exactly look alike :(
[07:36] <cwillu> erik__: by that logic, xp is just as broken, more hardware works out of the box, but it needs to be repaired on a _very_ regular basis
[07:36] <caleb> patrick, I'm guessing that you are running kernel 2.6
[07:37] <garryF> krazykit k.
[07:37] <Seveas> bekhazi, gtk-engines-qt tries to make them fit
[07:37] <caleb> Patrick, I'm having trouble finding Ubuntu drivers.
[07:37] <moneyfirst> i currently using ubuntu 6.06 with WPA. The only annoyance is that I have to input keyring password everytime I login to ubuntu. :>
[07:37] <ariqs> cwillu: xp has been incredibly stable for me. I've never had to reinstall it once, and I can leave it up for weeks
[07:37] <caleb> I've hit a wall, try posting to the Ubuntu forum.
[07:37] <Kibou> with xp pretty much nothing works out of the box.. you need to install drivers for everything by yourself
[07:37] <krazykit> garryF: under the hood, it's really all the same.  the hardware vendors simply do not release information about the cards and they have to be reverse engineered.
[07:37] <patrick_king> ok cheers for the help
[07:38] <krazykit> garryF: it'll get better within the year, almost guaranteed
[07:38] <caleb> fluffee, are you running the latest Ubuntu release?
[07:38] <andyakadum>  :(
[07:38] <bekhazi> Seveas: Is that a command?
[07:38] <ariqs> xp comes with drivers for most stuff, though it's usually better to get more updated ones
[07:38] <bekhazi> (I am a newbie)
[07:38] <erik__> cwillu: in xp you can view all web pages and web content by default.. flash, videos etc you can play dvd and mp3... if you install outlook you can sync with your mobile phone etc etc.. in linux I've had to hack this all togehter manually...
[07:38] <Bassetts> =(
[07:38] <cwillu> ariqs: so have I;  I've got three xp workstations that I don't have trouble with;  I also have 3 ubuntu workstations I have no problems with;  on the other hand, I've got a whole pile of friends who can't keep it running
[07:38] <garryF> krazykit Yeah, he said they are probably working on it now.
[07:38] <moneyfirst> ariqs, then I think it's better for you to stick with your box :>. Just kidding . hehe. I actually spent most of my time with the os I like. None of them perfect.though
[07:38] <Seveas> bekhazi, it's a package
[07:39] <bekhazi> Seveas: oh, okay
[07:39] <erik__> cwillu: the parts that work are really nice and cute.. the os is cool that far... but to really be usable as a desktop os it's not enough
[07:39] <Agrajag> erik__: you can't play a DVD or flash in XP by default.
[07:39] <cwillu> erik__: if you're willing to spend a bit of cash (and for the comparison to be fair, you should), crossover works with those plugins out of the box, no more difficult than installing flash, java, etc on windows
[07:39] <_fluffee> Caleb: I dl'd the CD and burned it two weeks ago - there have been updates I have not been able to acquire as my high bandwidth connection is at work, not home.  I'm also looking for apointer to a 'how-to' to get updates one place and move them to another, if you see what I mean.
[07:39] <Kibou> flash doesn't come with xp
[07:40] <erik__> Agrajag: yes I can... dvd play out-of-the box for me in xp... flash auto-installs first time it's needed so yes it works "out-of-the-box"
[07:40] <Agrajag> erik__: that didn't come with XP.
[07:40] <erik__> cwillu: I'm not here to run emulated windows apps
[07:40] <Kibou> that's NOT "out-of-the box"
[07:40] <Agrajag> your OEM may have added that functionality
[07:40] <moneyfirst> it's useless to spent all the time to compare os and os. Find one that suit u the best in terms of performance, usability, and of course.. cost
[07:40] <erik__> the end user doesn't give a f**k
[07:40] <erik__> ..as long as flash works form the very start
[07:41] <caleb> fluffee, I remember a WPA update coming out recently. Are you using WPA encryption? Also, will encryption work on the same machine with a different card?
[07:41] <erik__> after installting a few plugins *most* flash movies works but not all... and it's very sluggish compared to windows
[07:41] <Agrajag> doesn't flash install itsef if you use a 32-bit browser? I never had a problem with it
[07:41] <Kibou> erik__: complain to macromedia/adobe
[07:41] <Bassetts> is there no way to fix my dvd-rw?
[07:41] <erik__> still you cant play flash 8 content in linux, and the flash you can play plays sluggishly
[07:42] <Bassetts> erik__: not linux' fault
[07:42] <rambo3> cwillu, just one quick lookup if you can , does abput opera report 9.00 Beta as version number?
[07:42] <erik__> Kibou: macromedia/adobe never told me linux is a ready to use desktop os...
[07:42] <Kibou> do who did?
[07:42] <Kibou> *so
[07:42] <Kibou> nobody is forcing anything on you..
[07:42] <Agrajag> erik__: they develop flash. If they don't support linux, and leave their player closed, of course it won't work well
[07:42] <andyakadum> all I want to do is set up a headless server and use webmin to administer it!
[07:42] <erik__> read the ubuntu pages and reviews, comments, recommendations from the linux community
[07:42] <rambo3> this feels like OT  take it there
[07:43] <erik__> Agrajag: exactly! and thats one of the things that renders linux unusable as a desktop os
[07:43] <Kibou> erik__: obviously is good enough for those people. if you're not happy you still have the choice to use any other os
[07:43] <Kibou> it*s
[07:43] <cwillu> rambo3: you're right, opera was installed from the deb off their site
[07:43] <moneyfirst> the funny thing here is that some people feel forced to use linux and keep complaining. LOL
[07:43] <wastrel> erik__:  take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please, this is a support channel.
[07:44] <dereks> how do i look at nameserver entries via cli?
[07:44] <wastrel> dereks:  host example.com
[07:44] <moneyfirst> wastrel, oh I just realized there is such channel. thx :>
[07:44] <erik__> Kibou: yes... and I don't know why I sit here arguing. Linux doersn't work as a desktop os period. I've found it out, I should re-install windows and get some work done instead of sitting here.... still I think linux looks nice so I hope it will improve... maybe in 5 yeras it will work (was about 5 yeras since I tried last time and  it's at least come a bit since then)
[07:44] <erik__> thanx and bye!
[07:45] <_fluffee> Caleb: I am using WEP.  As for a different card, well, natch Ubby doesn't even recognise the my old WPC11 cards, only the new WG511T one.  Go fig.
[07:45] <dereks> wastrel: that just resolves it, i want to know like the entries on the nameserver and what not
[07:45] <cwillu> erik__: I could therefore state that because gtk isn't native on windows, that windows isn't desktop ready (I've got apps that I'd really prefer not to live without, that don't fit in/run properly on windows)
[07:45] <NoUse> Bassetts do you use vmware?
[07:45] <andyakadum> erik__ if linux is too hard for you get a mac
[07:45] <wastrel> dereks:  man host :] 
[07:45] <Bassetts> NoUse: yes
[07:45] <dereks> wastrel: ok
[07:45] <NoUse> Bassetts try 'sudo /etc/init.d/vmware stop' and then try burning
[07:45] <Kibou> what an angry person.. geez
[07:46] <garryF> Flash alone does not make or break an os as a viable desktop os.
[07:46] <dereks> wastrel: -a :)
[07:46] <Bassetts> ok NoUse, ill be back in a few and update you
[07:46] <Kibou> flash's crappy anyway.. it should die already
[07:46] <BCK14> is vmware free for linux ?
[07:46] <cwillu> and flash _can_ be made to work perfectly fine;  crossover is an implementation of an api, not an emulation of it
[07:46] <Bassetts> BCK14: player and server are
[07:46] <Kibou> BCK14: no.. but there's a free vmware-player
[07:46] <Kibou> yes
[07:46] <Agrajag> honestly, I've never even seen a flash file that I couldn't play just fine in linux
[07:46] <moneyfirst> I guess somebody has forced him like mad to use ubuntu, that's why he spent his effort to come here and blow up his emotion. LOL
[07:46] <Agrajag> BCK14: vmware server is free
[07:46] <BCK14> whats the difference between player + normaly vmware?
[07:47] <BCK14> *normal
[07:47] <BCK14> i have windows normal version
[07:47] <cwillu> BCK14: player can't create new images I believe
[07:47] <Agrajag> vmware player can run only one VM and cannot create new images.
[07:47] <Bassetts> server can and that is free
[07:47] <BCK14> hmm ok
[07:47] <Agrajag> vmware server can do both of these, and run headless if you so desire.
[07:47] <BCK14> Bassetts: i have server again for winblows
[07:47] <garryF> What is headless?
[07:47] <Agrajag> vmware server RC1 is pretty good
[07:47] <BCK14> so player can run a windows virtual machine?
[07:47] <Kibou> wait? vmware is completely free now?
[07:47] <dooglus> vmware is proprietary.  it may be 'free as in beer' at the moment, but it's not really free
[07:48] <Bassetts> garryF: look mum, no head =P
[07:48] <andyakadum> headles means no screen
[07:48] <cwillu> garryF: no display, key, mouse
[07:48] <Agrajag> garryF: it doesn't need to run in X
[07:48] <enyc> garryF: running with no kb/mouse/display
[07:48] <_fluffee> Caleb: Perhaps my solution is the round-about one: Would you happen to know how I can dl updates and then feed them to my Ubby later?  I've got bandwidth woohoo! at work, I need to bring from there to home.
[07:48] <garryF> k, thanks.
[07:48] <Bassetts> i like my answer better =P
[07:48] <enyc> BCK14: yes
[07:48] <_absolution_> i'm trying to install something
[07:48] <Agrajag> you can connect to it remotely with the VMWare server console client, or to individual VMs with RDP or VNC
[07:48] <BCK14> ok
[07:48] <BCK14> but only once?
[07:48] <Leafw> anyone on powerpc, how can one swap the control and command keys? It's trivial in kubuntu (KDE), but I can't find any keyboard option for that in gnoem.
[07:48] <cwillu> BCK14: no, as many times as you want
[07:49] <Leafw> s/gnoem/gnome
[07:49] <_absolution_> and I keep getting a message that reads "E: dpkg was interrupted"
[07:49] <BCK14> ok :)
[07:49] <_absolution_> why am I getting that
[07:49] <BCK14> ill get that then
[07:49] <wastrel> free vmware?  interesting.
[07:49] <wastrel> but you need to create the image somehow first
[07:49] <wastrel> ?
[07:49] <ernz> Hi room!
[07:49] <Bassetts> NoUse: it saw my blank dvd-r and then it disappeared after all of 3 seconds
[07:49] <cwillu> _absolution_: in synaptic, check for broken packages
[07:49] <Flannel> _fluffee: you can do that, just download the debs, then burn/sneakernet them, and you can install them later.   The only problem is knowing which packages to download.
[07:49] <Agrajag> wastrel: they took vmware GSX server and turned it into vmware server after microsoft released virtualPC for free
[07:49] <Agrajag> wastrel: vmware server can create images
[07:50] <ernz> I am a Winblows->Linux convert and I have not got EVERYTHING working. EVERYTHING But 1 thing! Anyone able to assist please?
[07:50] <Fizzeh> can anyone help me with gparted, it is saying my main partition is not formatted properly
[07:50] <Agrajag> I recommend that over vmware player
[07:50] <cwillu> emz what thing?
[07:50] <_fluffee> Flannel: I can copy/paste names from the "Updates available" (or whatever) screen, but from where do I dl them?
[07:50] <wastrel> mmm i've been looking for a way to burn up some disk space
[07:50] <Agrajag> VMs have a tendency to do that
[07:50] <ThePub_> wastrel:  install windows, that's straight burn :p
[07:50] <Agrajag> they'll also burn u pyour ram
[07:50] <_absolution_> I get the same message
[07:50] <ernz> ERNZ -> My sound card is only working on 2CH - I have been through loads of forums etc.. and nothing works to get all 6CH working
[07:50] <cwillu> _fluffee: should just be able to click 'install updates', no?
[07:51] <dngldoof> cwillu: vlc is installing! thank you for the help! I'll buy you a beer when I'm in Canada or you're in Finland :)
[07:51] <cwillu> lol @ dngldoof :)
[07:51] <dngldoof> o/
[07:51] <_absolution_> nevermind
[07:51] <Flannel> _fluffee: oh, right.  You have internet, just not bandwidth.  Just put the repository URLs into a web browser, and navigate from there
[07:51] <Fizzeh> anyone, gparted help?
[07:51] <cwillu> _absolution_: did you get that bit that I said?
[07:52] <garryF> ernz: Try alsamixer and make sure you don't have some speakers muted. Then when you do changes do alsactl store.
[07:52] <dooglus> _fluffee: you can find the packages and download them from http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[07:52] <_absolution_> yeah so I reinstall the broken packages?
[07:52] <_fluffee> cwillu: see first part:  I'm dl'ing on $OTHER_BOX, on $OTHER_NET, at $OTHER_LOCATION, using $OTHER_OS.
[07:52] <cwillu> ernz: what hardware?  do you know its supported (including full support, not just partial?)?
[07:52] <ernz> garryF - Will do, hang a sec.
[07:52] <_fluffee> dooglus: Aha!  Woot!  Thank you!
[07:53] <ernz> I did a hardware report on the soundcard once. I can't remember the command...
[07:53] <Kraln> hey, guys
[07:53] <garryF> lspci?
[07:53] <Kraln> I'm trying to help someone isntall ubuntu 6.04
[07:53] <Kraln> they have some POS emachines that you can't disable the onboard adapter
[07:54] <Kraln> is there a way to install ubuntu 6.04 without the x-windows interface?
[07:54] <cwillu> kraln:  i.e., no desktop (at first at least?)
[07:54] <Flannel> Kraln: you mean, without the liveCD? download the alternative CD
[07:54] <ciaron`> Kraln: or there's the server edition which is good for headless boxes
[07:54] <Flannel> Kraln: if you want (after install) to have no GUI, then install the server iso
[07:54] <Kraln> yeah, yeah
[07:54] <Kraln> no no
[07:54] <andyakadum> Kraln I think thats a server install
[07:54] <Kraln> he wants a desktop
[07:54] <Kraln> just not right away, heh
[07:55] <Kraln> what's the alternative cd (what's the difference?)
[07:55] <dooglus> _fluffee: what I have done is made a bookmark in firefox to "http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=%s&searchon=names&version=all&release=all" and given it the keyword "ps" (for package search).  then I can just type "ps mplayer" into the address bar and it finds the package for me
[07:55] <Flannel> Kraln: then alternative CD, it has a textmode installer
[07:55] <Kraln> AH
[07:55] <Kraln> that's what I was looking for
[07:55] <Kraln> much <3
[07:55] <Kraln> by the way, if you guys haven't heard of qunu, it's this free support service
[07:55] <Kraln> you basically sign up and tell them what you're good ad
[07:56] <Kraln> at*
[07:56] <Kraln> and they funnel people to you
[07:56] <Kraln> it's really cool ;)
[07:56] <garryF> Alternate CD allows more install options including a text based install, ability to put the boot loader on a different partition than the first partition of the first hard drive.
[07:56] <dooglus> Kraln: I signed up with qunu a few weeks ago and haven't had a single person ask me anything.  did I do something wrong?
[07:56] <cwillu> just what I need:  _more_ people funneled to me :)
[07:56] <Kraln> dooglus: it won't send people to you if you are set as 'away'
[07:56] <Kraln> eh
[07:56] <dooglus> Kraln: how can I tell if I am?
[07:57] <wastrel> do these people give me money?
[07:57] <BCK14> so if i create a virtual machine in windows can i use it under linux ?
[07:57] <Kraln> dooglus: did you add the q-bot to your jabber buddies?
[07:57] <BCK14> using vmware player ?
[07:57] <cwillu> BCK14: yep
[07:57] <dooglus> Kraln: I added 'qunu' to my buddies
[07:57] <BCK14> cwillu: using player ?
[07:57] <cwillu> BCK14: should be able to
[07:57] <BCK14> ok
[07:57] <BCK14> sounds cool :)
[07:57] <Kraln> dooglus: does it respond if you im 'tag' to it?
[07:57] <_absolution_> I have a problem again....lol :)
[07:58] <enyc> Kibou: vmware player is freewave but not free software
[07:58] <cwillu> _absolution_: shout it out :)
[07:58] <Kibou> i see
[07:58] <_absolution_> why did I get a error message saying "not locked"
[07:58] <dooglus> Kraln: yes, it does.  big list of tags.
[07:58] <cwillu> _absolution_: did you have update manager running, or an apt-get something running in a terminal?
[07:58] <Kraln> dooglus: and your nickname is dooglus on qunu?
[07:58] <_fluffee> Caleb: For grins and giggles I re-in'd the old WPC card:  The wifi applet doesn't see it as a wireless, system sees it as eth0 though.  Running new keys now...
[07:58] <_absolution_> nope
[07:59] <dooglus> Kraln: it is.  and I've just tagged myself as an expert in "insectwelding" which is hopefully unique.  can you look for help with that?
[07:59] <Fizzeh> what is a good filesyetem for ubuntu (and is fat 32 good for vista?)
[07:59] <ernz> OK GarryF - None of the audio's are muted and I am on ALSA, with 6CH selected. Still only front speakers.
[07:59] <Gullstad> What was the command to show the little 3D bench?
[07:59] <mjr> Fizzeh, ext3, and no
[08:00] <Agrajag> reiserfs, and fat32 isn't good for much of anything
[08:00] <Fizzeh> what should i use for my vista one then?
[08:00] <Agrajag> ntfs
[08:00] <Kyral_FreeBSD> WinFS has some interesting concepts
[08:00] <Fizzeh> grazie
[08:00] <garryF> ernz Do you have some switch box like comes with some surround sound stuff. For that matter, do you have surround sound turned on in alsamixer?
[08:00] <Kyral_FreeBSD> a Relationtional FS
[08:00] <ernz> cwillu - As far as I recall, my integrated sound card is SiS SI7012 AC'97 Realtek 5.1
[08:01] <Agrajag> Kyral_FreeBSD: too bad it's aneutered, broken version of what they said it would be
[08:01] <cwillu> _absolution_: try closing synaptic, package manager, etc, and the from a terminal run ' sudo apt-get check -f'
[08:01] <Kyral_FreeBSD> Agrajag: I know, but the concept in and of itself
[08:01] <Kraln> dooglus: there?
[08:01] <Kraln> pm
[08:01] <Kyral_FreeBSD> Agrajag: personally I am waiting for ZFS to be ported to GNU/Linux
[08:01] <dooglus> Kraln: yes.
[08:01] <Fizzeh> if all of my data is on a partition that apparently has an unknown filesystem with an lvm flag, can i partition it at all?>
[08:01] <Agrajag> you think they'll do it?
[08:01] <ernz> GarryF - My Sub has loads of knobs and stuff on it. They are all turned up, and plugs are correctly connected
[08:01] <Agrajag> that would be pretty nice
[08:01] <dooglus> Kraln: apparently I'm "Chris Moore" on qunu
[08:02] <Kraln> is that your name? ;x
[08:02] <Bassetts> NoUse: ok its supposedly written the dvd but it still says its blan
[08:02] <Bassetts> k
[08:02] <ernz> GarryF - How would I "Turn on" surround sound in ALSA mixer?
[08:02] <cwillu> ernz, dumb question, but all the show-switches options are on too?
[08:02] <Kyral_FreeBSD> Agrajag: I heard they are planning it. I mean they already opened up with GNU/Solaris
[08:02] <Geev8> hellow guys am writting cds by using k3b but when it finnished to coppy it doesn't eject the old cd so that i can insert new cd what should i do
[08:02] <_absolution_> what does that do?
[08:02] <garryF> ernz and is the volume on all the channels up. It should be a simple hitting a spacebar to toggle it.
[08:02] <Kyral_FreeBSD> Geev8: Eject it with the cd tray button ;P
[08:02] <yeti> hi there, can i install ubuntu entirely on a raid0 array, i.e. i created raid autodetect partitions on both of my 40G hdds and now have a 80GB raid0 array, can i put /boot, swap, and / on it? will it boot?
[08:03] <ernz> GarryF / Cwillu - I will try both now.
[08:03] <_absolution_> oooh I see now
[08:03] <_absolution_> thanks
[08:03] <cwillu> _absolution_: hopefully it works for you :)
[08:03] <Kyral_FreeBSD> yeti: to be safe I'd put /boot on a "physical" (ie normal) partition
[08:03] <_absolution_> yes it did thanks
[08:03] <Bassetts> NoUse: gnome baker seems to be doing it, ill update yo uagain
[08:03] <cwillu> yay
[08:03] <Fizzeh> if all of my data is on a partition that apparently has an unknown filesystem with an lvm flag, can i partition it at all?>
[08:04] <Geev8> Kyral_FreeBSD: it show me load eject force but when i press eject cd cannot come out
[08:04] <cwillu> Fizzeh: as in resize it, split, etc?
[08:04] <yeti> Kyral_FreeBSD: well, i don't care about loss of data, it's a test system, what i need to know is - will ubuntu boot from a software-raid 0 array?
[08:04] <Fizzeh> cwillu: yes
[08:04] <Kyral_FreeBSD> yeti: Maybe :P
[08:04] <yeti> heh
[08:04] <Kyral_FreeBSD> Geev8: unmount it and then eject it
[08:04] <Kyral_FreeBSD> :P
[08:04] <cwillu> Fizzeh: gotta have a tool that understands the partition, unless you just wanna delete it and create new partitions in the now-empty space
[08:04] <Kyral_FreeBSD> yeti: especially if its a test machine :P
[08:04] <dts> Where would I start if I wanted to modify the Ubuntu Installation CD so that it installs a couple more apps and runs a few setup scripts?
[08:04] <Fizzeh> cwillu: I am using gparted
[08:04] <ernz> GarryF / Cwillu - Affirmative on both fronts. I have all switches showing. 6CH is selected. Surround is selected. All sliders are unmuted and maxed-out. Still only front speakers.
[08:05] <Fizzeh> the parition contains ubuntu...and I am using this gparted live cd (cwillu)
[08:05] <garryF> ernz beyond rebooting to make sure that the changes take, ye got me stumped
[08:05] <Geev8> Kyral_FreeBSD: but k3b is waiting for new cd so when i unmount the program will work again?
[08:06] <ernz> GarryF / Cwillu - I suppose I better try that too. BRB.
[08:06] <Kyral_FreeBSD> Geev8: yah..I mean it KNOWS to unload the CD you need to umount it
[08:07] <cwillu> Fizzeh: sorry, I don't have a whole lot of experience with linux volume manager;  random suggestion:  are you using the latest ubuntu live cd?  it has gparted on it, and might have some driver that the cd your running doesn't have
[08:09] <Fizzeh> Well, im using the official gparted live cd
[08:09] <Dragoonz> I'm authenicating using winbind ... it works on single user mode.  I'm having trouble when i reboot the kde getting it to authenicate... it tell me there is an error.  and when i type in the wrong password i get login failed
[08:09] <Fizzeh> ill try my month old ubuntu one, tnx
[08:09] <ernz> cwillu / GarryF - Back.
[08:09] <bekhazi> im having trouble with mounting a NTFS partition so i can access it
[08:09] <cwillu> Fizzeh: just a guess, have no idea if it'd work
[08:09] <bekhazi> can anyone help me with that please?
[08:09] <cwillu> ernz:  another question:  how are you testing it?
[08:09] <garryF> ernz Under System/Preferences/Sound enable ESD if the reboot didn't work.
[08:09] <cwillu> bekhazi: in fstab?
[08:09] <bekhazi> ive tried all those instuctions online but no help...maybe im doign things wrong
[08:10] <cwillu> ernz: i.e., are you sure that it's not "working, but the programs are only outputting to two channels"?
[08:10] <bekhazi> Im using ubuntu dapper
[08:10] <garryF> Hmmm, yeah, if the source ins't surround sound, he'd just get stereo. Good thoguth cwillu
[08:10] <cwillu> bekhazi: have you put anything in fstab yet?
[08:10] <garryF> er thought
[08:11] <ernz> I am testing using Totem 1.4.1
[08:11] <ernz> On an MP3
[08:11] <garryF> Mp3 are stereo files
[08:11] <garryF> two channels
[08:11] <Fizzeh> is there anyway to setup my ubuntu as a firewire drive (like what can be done with mac osx)
[08:11] <Kraln> there are no 5.1 mp3 files.
[08:11] <cwillu> ernz, i.e., last machine I did surround with on windows didn't use all the speakers for mp3's, etc
[08:11] <bekhazi> i mounted the ntfs partition and still cant access it
[08:11] <bekhazi> it says i dont have permission to
[08:11] <ernz> This one did on Windows
[08:11] <Geev8> Kyral_FreeBSD: this is my second time before i trie to eject manually failed i decided to right click cdroom icon then i selected eject cd was ejected but k3b was stoped at that moment
[08:12] <cwillu> ernz, still up to the driver/software
[08:12] <Bassetts> ubuntu wont mount my dvd i just burnt in gnomebaker >>
[08:12] <Kraln> bekhazi: you have to specify extra stuff when mounting ntfs.
[08:12] <Agrajag> garryF: I have a 4.0 set up, and mp3s/oggs play from all 4
[08:12] <garryF> It was probably emulating surround sound.
[08:13] <ernz> This is really cheesing me off. It's the only thing I haven't got to work on my shiney new linux box.
[08:13] <garryF> Agrajag SHould probably tell ernz that. 4.0 version of what?
[08:13] <bekhazi> ls -ald $mountpoint
[08:13] <bekhazi> ?
[08:13] <Agrajag> 4.0 channels
[08:13] <cwillu> bekhazi: does it work under sudo?
[08:13] <Agrajag> it's a 6-channel sound card but only 4 are in use
[08:13] <cwillu> probably need to add dmask=555,fmask=555 to the fstab line
[08:13] <Agrajag> when I play music throuch xmms or mpd or whatever, it always comes out through all 4
[08:14] <cwillu> bekhazi: in the appropriate place/syntax, etc
[08:14] <bekhazi> I get drwxr-xr-x 20 hoboturtle hoboturtle 4096 2006-06-23 13:15 .
[08:14] <Frogzoo> !fixxine
[08:14] <ubotu> I know nothing about fixxine
[08:14] <Agrajag> oh, I remember now!
[08:14] <g8616c6f> does anyone have a list of programs that shouldn't be compiled with apt-build?
[08:14] <Agrajag> in alsamixer, there is a "
[08:14] <Agrajag> ergh
[08:14] <Agrajag> "duplicate front" option.
[08:15] <yeti> swap will run on raid 0 though, right?
[08:15] <Frogzoo> !botsnack
[08:15] <Agrajag> That makes sound come out from all channels even if it's just stereo
[08:15] <ubotu> I know nothing about botsnack
[08:15] <ernz> Should I be testing through XMMS then?
[08:15] <Frogzoo> ubotu - you're pretty dum today
[08:15] <ubotu> I know nothing about you're pretty dum today
[08:15] <garryF> ernz: I'd search your samples folder to find some video stuff, to be sure that its not just a case of mp3 files not being played with a player or codec that isn't faking surround sound.
[08:15] <cwillu> Frogzoo: ubotu had a lobotomy the other day
[08:15] <Agrajag> ernz: run alsamixer for a terminal and look for that setting, and see if enabling it makes sound come from all speakers
[08:15] <Agrajag> er, from a terminal
[08:15] <Frogzoo> ernz: wassup with totem?
[08:15] <ernz> Have played MOVs MPEGs DVDs and also AVIs and WAVs
[08:15] <ernz> 2CH on everything
[08:15] <ompaul> Frogzoo, that is not the same bot as at the start of the week
[08:16] <Agrajag> ernz: and if you need true surround you just disable it
[08:16] <mxpxpod> does apache run in a chroot environment by default?
[08:16] <Agrajag> Were the DVDs 5.1 channel sound, and did you have the 5.1 channel track selected when playing the DVD?
[08:16] <Agrajag> all the rest of those formats are 2-channel stereo.
[08:16] <Frogzoo> mxpxpod: nope
[08:16] <mxpxpod> Frogzoo: ok, thanks
[08:17] <Agrajag> In general, anyway; I suppose you could mux a 5.1 AC3 in an avi if you wated to.
[08:17] <cwillu> bekhazi: any luck?
[08:17] <Fizzeh_> is there anyway to setup my ubuntu as a firewire drive (like what can be done with mac osx)
[08:17] <ernz> Hold up Agrajag - Fraid I am slightly noob here. Can you 'Splain in idiot terms what to do here
[08:17] <ernz> I have run from terminal
[08:18] <Agrajag> ernz: open a terminal, and run alsamixer.
[08:18] <ernz> Yup
[08:18] <cwillu> Fizzeh_, Fizzeh: almost certainly, but I don't know off hand :p
[08:18] <cwillu> at least, if you can mount it
[08:18] <Agrajag> there should be an option, way off to the right, called "duplicate front"
[08:18] <garryF> you will have to use the left and right arrow keys to see off-screen options in alsamixer.
[08:18] <Agrajag> it might just say <Duplicat>
[08:19] <ernz>  SiS SI7012 - Realtek ALC650E - Yep I see Duplicat(e)
[08:19] <_fluffee> Caleb: (If you're still here & for any 'bot harvesting too) Went the whole nine yards with the WPC11 card - no joy.  I'll follow up by getting updates and then retrying.
[08:19] <Agrajag> ernz: select that, and press M to enable it
[08:19] <Agrajag> see if mp3s and such come out of all channels, if not make sure they're not muted.
[08:20] <ernz> OK, escape after that?
[08:20] <Agrajag> yeah
[08:20] <Agrajag> that will enable fake-surround for stereo inputs. If you want to listen to something with real surround you'll have to disable it again
[08:21] <ernz> OK Agrajag - What do you recommend I test in?
[08:21] <bekhazi> So i can leave the option to default not nls=utf8,umask0222
[08:21] <bekhazi> ?
[08:21] <Agrajag> ernz: anything.
[08:21] <ernz> HOLY CRAP!!
[08:21] <ernz> LOUD!
[08:21] <garryF> LOL
[08:21] <Agrajag> ernz: I take it it worked?
[08:22] <Agrajag> might want to turn your surround channels down now
[08:22] <ernz> It had worked
[08:22] <Agrajag> 8)
[08:22] <cwillu> lol
[08:22] <_fluffee> Thank you Caleb, dooglus, and thirdpersonwhosenameIforgot.
[08:22] <ernz> All SPK are working.
[08:22] <ernz> Sounds funky though
[08:22] <Agrajag> yeah, if they're turned all the way up, try bringing them down to 75% or so
[08:22] <ernz> Ahh
[08:22] <bekhazi> ?
[08:22] <garryF> There is the sound volume control by the date in the upper right corner.
[08:22] <Agrajag> you might need to fiddle with all your volume settings, on the speakers themselves too
[08:23] <Agrajag> garryF: that will most likely only affect the front speakers
[08:23] <garryF> Your rear right speaker is on fire. Put the fire out.
[08:23] <timboteam> Anyone here know how to configure wireless?
[08:23] <Agrajag> the surround channels might not be enabled in the gnome volume control dealy
[08:23] <garryF> Agrajag Oh. Thanks for helping him.
[08:23] <Agrajag> that's easy to set up though, there's a configuration dialog where you can turn other controls from alsa on and off
[08:24] <garryF> I wonder if he has to go alsactl store to save his new settings.
[08:24] <Agrajag> and if you are going to leave this fake surrond setting on, you might want to set the main control to change the wave output rather than master
[08:24] <Agrajag> alsamixer saves when you hit esc
[08:24] <garryF> Nice!
[08:25] <linuxmaier> does anyone know if the GeForce 7300 GS graphics card is compatible with Ubuntu?
[08:26] <patrick_king> hello i have a origo pcmcia card where can i get some drivers for it for ubuntu
[08:27] <uter> hi @ all
[08:27] <uter> can i ask somebody because i have a problem with my tv-card ;)
[08:28] <cwillu> !anybody
[08:28] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[08:28] <uter> ok i try ;)
[08:28] <cwillu> uter no promises, but ya :)
[08:28] <linuxmaier> re origo pcmia: try this link http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=152520
[08:29] <garryF> Yes, the 7300 GS is supported.
[08:29] <patrick_king> cheers wil have a read
[08:29] <linuxmaier> many thanks
[08:29] <garryF> welcome
[08:30] <uter> i only get a blue screen with my tv card -> and i dont know how to config it ;)
[08:30] <uter> (the real wirred thing is that i got sharp images - yesterday but then i tried something and now the tuner get only a blue screen)
[08:31] <andii> is there a web interface torrent program? need it to my ubuntu-server
[08:31] <uter> I have a Hauppauge 847 Chip WinTv - Card
[08:32] <dngldoof> cwillu: xmms is fully functional! YEAH! o/
[08:32] <cwillu> dngldoof: hip hip
[08:32] <erisco> I am trying to get my .htaccess working with apache2, and I know I will need to edit my configuration file. However what is strange, is my httpd.conf is just a couple lines long... is there another config file?
[08:32] <cwillu> apt-get is beautiful when it works :)
[08:32] <erisco> the file is in /etc/apache2/ like it should be
[08:32] <ernz_> Aha!
[08:33] <erisco> and on default my .htaccess is not working correctly
[08:33] <ernz_> I unplugged my networking cable. Yet another mystery solved.
[08:33] <cwillu> erisco: there's a bunch of config files in subfolders
[08:33] <erisco> cwillu, I heard the httpd was the "main" one though
[08:33] <cwillu> not really on debian apache2;  they're ioncluded in weird and wonderful ways
[08:34] <caonex_> hello, I am using dapper and I have noticed that the clock syncronization is not fine. The time set is wrong. I chose the American/Chicago time and I always get it like 5 hours offset, why?
[08:34] <ernz_> Cwillu / GarryF - Thanks for your help with that'n
[08:34] <uter> Can somebody help me with my hauppauge 878 Chip WinTV - Card , i only get a blue screen
[08:34] <erisco> cwillu, yes they are. I think I just found it though
[08:34] <ernz_> 4CH is much better than 2CH
[08:34] <myrddin> unbelievable.  'ls' is ignoring leading '.' when listing files via 'ls -a'.  the man page doesn't seem to list anyway to get the original behavior back.
[08:34] <erisco> let me try this one then
[08:34] <grval> I found a fairly serious bug with Ubunut 6.06 and LTSP.
[08:34] <myrddin> anyone know how to fix this?
[08:34] <bioticpro> Whats a good usb vgame controller for linux? (@anybody)
[08:34] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> anyone using swiftfox?
[08:35] <notclive> im having problems getting my wireless internet working ive folowed the tute here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[08:35] <myrddin> actually, to be clear: it shows all files, leading '.' included.  it just mixes the . files with the other files instead of listing them the way it should:  . files first, everything else next
[08:35] <grval> When a user quits, it pops up a dialog. One of the options is to hibernate. Any user can put the LTSP server to sleep.
[08:35] <Dragoonz> has anyone ran across volume /dev/evms/hdb1 need to be activated in there evms logs? i'm mounting it to /home
[08:35] <uter> Can somebody help me with my hauppauge 878 Chip WinTV - Card , i only get a blue screen ???
[08:36] <cwillu> myrddin: does it still do it in a new terminal?
[08:36] <geeksauce> i just downloaded pearpc from the repos...where is it and its config file?
[08:37] <bioticpro> by vgame, I mean video game controller (ps2 xbox style), but a usb one that will work with linux
[08:37] <myrddin> I'm trying to remember if I saw it doing this before today.  the only difference is that today I'm ssh'd into the box remotedly
[08:37] <duck-> are there any instructions for customizing an ubuntu installation disk for OEM anywhere?
[08:38] <notclive> can somebody pm me to help me setting up wireless internet
[08:38] <cwillu> myrddin: ls can behave differently if it thinks it's not running in a tty
[08:38] <cwillu> I'd double check your ssh settings
[08:38] <cwillu> also, there's options on ls to force tty behaviour
[08:39] <finalbeta> what torrent client would you recommend to me (comming from windows). I know azureus, but I rather have something that doesn't drain resources.
[08:40] <Jowi> caonex_: you can try this in a terminal "sudo ntpdate us.pool.ntp.org"

[08:40] <_absolution_> how do you extract a tar ball using terminal
[08:40] <yeti> finalbeta: qtorrent works fine for me
[08:40] <caonex_> Jowi: i know but the thing is that when i restart the pc the clock is not set right, and i would have to do it manually all the time, which i am trying to avoid

[08:40] <BCK14> in ubuntu where do you add what programs you want to run automatically when you login, like kopete etc... ?
[08:41] <finalbeta> thnx yeti
[08:41] <cwillu> BCK14: system | prefs | session
[08:42] <djcabz> is ubuntu slated to have wireshark added to the repositories anytime soon...  (not that there is much different between current ethereal and wireshark...)
[08:42] <BCK14> ok ty cwillu, uve helped me twice today now :P
[08:42] <Jowi> caonex_: choose a better timeserver for you. have a look at http://www.pool.ntp.org which one that might be more suitable
[08:42] <cwillu> BCK14: I try :)
[08:42] <patrick_king> anyone know how i would get a WL1102 pcmcia card working
[08:42] <cwillu> djcabz: is it in universe/multiverse?
[08:42] <BCK14> :)
[08:43] <BCK14> doing a nice job
[08:43] <cwillu> djcabz: I'd be surprised if it got into official ubuntu supported, but it might show up in universe
[08:43] <caonex_> Jowi: but i use pool.ntp.org fine
[08:43] <djcabz> cwillu:  no, not currently...  where is ethereal currently?  universe?
[08:43] <caonex_> Jowi: the problem is the clock after setting syncronizes to the wrong time
[08:43] <caonex_> Jowi: if i go do it manually now, it returns the right time.
[08:44] <caonex_> Jowi: whereas if i put it automatic it does not

[08:44] <patrick_king> anyone know how i would install a WL1102 pcmcia card
[08:44] <Jowi> caonex_: see if you have the correct ntp pool server in /etc/ntp.conf ...?
[08:45] <fm> I just ran a program of mine that does unfortunately not respond anymore... I can't kill it : the process table says it is "uninterruptible", and indeed I believe it is.. how can I make it stop?
[08:45] <cwillu> djcabz: ethereal is universe right now
[08:46] <Frogzoo> fm: you can reboot...
[08:46] <fm> yeah thx
[08:46] <fm> it has stopped !
[08:46] <fm> yippa
[08:46] <fm> sorry
[08:46] <djcabz> cwillu:  darn, you beat me to it ;)   I had to learn (just now) that if I add the section field, it tells me which repository... thanks.
[08:48] <finalbeta> anyone else had problems installing amap? after installing and every time I install something after that, synaptic gives me an error, untill I remove amap
[08:50] <Gumby600m> Does the Dapper Drake install download anything via the 'net while installing??
[08:50] <caonex_> Jowi: what is fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 13
[08:50] <caonex_> ?
[08:50] <cwillu> finalbeta: what's the error?
[08:50] <Sjoerd-> how do i enable mod_rewrite with apache2 on ubuntu?
[08:50] <rohan> i removed stuff from startup like lvm and evms using sysv-rc-conf and now during shutdown, the usplash doesnt go all the way to the right, it goes about mid way, which is damn confusing .. how can such a thing like removing services break it ?!
[08:51] <Frogzoo> Gumby600m: you can install without a net connection - if it can see a net connection, probably you'll get updates
[08:51] <cwillu> Gumby600m it can be made to download updates immediately, and it will try to get a current list of packages
[08:51] <Jowi> caonex_: think it is that it uses the local clock as a reference
[08:51] <cwillu> rohan: I think it's still a bit experimental, and probably expecting a few hardcoded services
[08:51] <finalbeta> cwillu: can't remember, amap returned error code 114 I believe
[08:52] <cwillu> finalbeta: what does synaptic say when you start it?
[08:52] <rohan> cwillu: anyway to fix it ? or if its not fixable, disable it ? tho' i really like splash :(
[08:52] <[Ex0r] > okay im officially bored
[08:52] <cwillu> rohan: dunno;  I'm running a custom kernel, in which it doesn't work at all (completely blank screen until x starts up)  :)
[08:52] <finalbeta> cwillu: , nothing...
[08:52] <Jowi> caonex_: the main important thing in that file is the "server blah.blah.com"
[08:52] <finalbeta> I'll install it again to get the info
[08:52] <rohan> cwillu: hehe :D
[08:53] <caonex_> Jowi: i cant restart right now, but what has been happeing is that i do a manual update and it set itself right, but when i restart, the time is not right, so i thought it could be a bug in dapper
[08:53] <caonex_> Jowi: i have used this configuration for a long time
[08:53] <cwillu> rohan: but I like my autoswappiness and staircase scheduler too much to care :)
[08:53] <caonex_> Jowi: and never had any problem of this kind, so i thought it could be a bug
[08:53] <bibe> rohan : add "vga=normal" as a kernel parameter, you should see all console messages during booy
[08:53] <rohan> cwillu: i see :)
[08:53] <bibe> boot*
[08:53] <cwillu> bibe: thanks
[08:53] <Jowi> caonex_: could your CMOS battery be old? when you first start your computer, enter BIOS and see if the time is still correct.
[08:53] <rohan> bibe: nah, i want the splash .. no way to fix it ?
[08:54] <bibe> cwillu : no problem
[08:54] <caonex_> Jowi: brand new laptop
[08:54] <jolmash> hello all, I need help on my Ubuntu Server installation, I have choose Install to Hard disk, and It doesn't install Apache, nor mysql, what can I do?
[08:54] <cwillu> rohan: there's always a way to fix it, but there may not be an easy known workaround yet
[08:54] <bibe> rohan : try and see if your kernel supports framebuffer
[08:54] <caonex_> Jowi: the time is still correct
[08:54] <rohan> bibe: no, my i810 card doesnt :)
[08:54] <cwillu> jolmash: sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql
[08:54] <rohan> not the vga framebuffer anyway, bibe
[08:54] <bibe> rohan : then, no splash... :-S
[08:54] <cwillu> jolmash: not every server wants apache :)
[08:54] <jolmash> if I try with dselect, It try to install linux-image-server, linux-server and wpasupplicant
[08:55] <jolmash> I want apache, hehe
[08:55] <Frogzoo> cwillu: they do when they grow up...
[08:55] <rohan> bibe: i mean, it does support i810fb driver, but its too buggy :S
[08:55] <ddrj> guys, doing an hd install, but the iso-scan doesn't find my installer iso, and i put the ubuntu.iso in C:\
[08:55] <cwillu> jolmash: :p
[08:55] <Jowi> caonex_: ntp work best if the system time and the ntp time is fairly similar (they should not drift too much). Yes, it is still correct while you have the computer on, but see in BIOS if it is resetted if you have turned your computer off for a while. if it is resetted it is probably the CMOS battery
[08:55] <orangey> hey all!
[08:55] <alpa> hey
[08:55] <jolmash> how can I decide what mysql version I want to install?
[08:55] <ddrj> nobody ever helps me here :(
[08:55] <loquitus_of_borg> hey people... am I crazy or does ubuntu install a version of PHP5 that does not have mysql support built in?
[08:55] <finalbeta> cwillu: E: amap: subproces post-installation script gaf een foutwaarde 255 terug (gave back error code 225 after install)
[08:55] <orangey> I was wondering how I may influence the order in which modules are loaded.. for example, I have two soundcards, but it is very important that they get loaded Sound Card A, THEN sound Card B, not the other way around (which is happening now).
[08:56] <bibe> Where can I get linux-source packages for edgy eft kernel snapshots? linux-image*.deb packages are here http://people.ubuntu.com/~bcollins/kernels-daily/22-06-2006/i386/, but no reference to source packages (I need them to rebuild my own kernel)
[08:56] <orangey> any non-hack ways to do this?
[08:56] <loquitus_of_borg> I did an apt-get install for php and the ensuing PHP I have does not have mysql support.
[08:56] <cwillu> finalbeta:  :/
[08:56] <cwillu> loquitus_of_borg: different package
[08:56] <Frogzoo> jolmash: later is best in most cases
[08:56] <cwillu> loquitus_of_borg: it's like php_mysql or something
[08:56] <jason^> anybody ever have problems with flash not playing sound in firefox?
[08:57] <loquitus_of_borg> cwillu: ok... please tell me how I can rememdy this seemingly awful situation... can I just do an apt-get install php_mysql right now and it will add mysql support to the php I already installed?
[08:57] <jolmash> Frogzoo: not in my case, I need mySQL 4.0.20
[08:57] <jrib> ubotu: tell jason^ about flash
[08:57] <cwillu> loquitus_of_borg: assuming that it's the right package, yes
[08:57] <bibe> orangey : try udev rules, there's something like that for NIC drivers
[08:57] <orangey> bibe: aha
[08:57] <loquitus_of_borg> cwillu: it is not the right one
[08:57] <cwillu> loquitus_of_borg: I kinda figured that :p
[08:57] <cwillu> loquitus_of_borg: there is a package like that though that you need
[08:58] <iiiears> orangey - Can you add them to rc.local?
[08:58] <orangey> iiiears: that seems overly 'hackish'
[08:58] <cwillu> loquitus_of_borg: php5-mysql
[08:58] <NixNod> hello guys, can someone help me?
[08:58] <loquitus_of_borg> cwillu: E: Couldn't find package php5_mysql
[08:58] <orangey> iiiears: also, it doesn't seem like it would work, since it loads at the *end* of any given init
[08:58] <Frogzoo> jolmash: mysql-server-4.x should do it
[08:59] <iiiears> orangey - Okay
[08:59] <cwillu> loquitus_of_borg: - not _
[08:59] <bibe> orangey : I have an ethernet NIC (r1000 driver), a wireless one (ipw3945) and a firewire one. udev assigns devices (eth0, eth1 and eth2) based on the card's MAC address
[08:59] <jolmash> Frogzoo: thanks
[08:59] <rohan> !java
[08:59] <Frogzoo> jolmash: there's 4.1 - no 4.0 though
[08:59] <loquitus_of_borg> oops. one sec.
[08:59] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Java For the runtime sun java install sun-java5-jre from the multiverse repository
[08:59] <duck-> java isn't completely object-oriented
[08:59] <orangey> bibe: how's that?
[08:59] <duck-> i hate it when people call it that
[08:59] <cwillu> duck-:  don't go there
[09:00] <iiiears> orangey - Where is the file hardware loaded from?
[09:00] <orangey> bibe: I'm looking at the rules.d directory now.
[09:00] <duck-> cwillu, hehehe :)
[09:00] <orangey> iiiears: huh?
[09:00] <iiiears> orangey - Just hoping to learn something. sorry to bother you.
[09:01] <NixNod> i want load my iptables rules on startup. can someone tell me where i can put it. Ubuntu works like Slackware? Example: /etc/rc.d/*
[09:01] <duck-> perhaps someone here would know, are there any instructions anywhere for customizing the ubuntu installation CD for OEM, including but not limited to the addition of new packages?
[09:01] <cap10morgan> In a source package, in debian/rules, what is the proper target to install a udev .rules file in?
[09:01] <cap10morgan> Is it OK to do that in binary-arch?
[09:01] <bibe> duck- : I have customized a live cd, but no installation CDs
[09:02] <NixNod> hey, someone can help me?
[09:02] <jrib> !helpme
[09:02] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:02] <Sjoerd-> state problem/question (read topic)
[09:02] <duck-> bibe, yes, I saw the customization instructions for that, but I would like to have them for an installation CD for an upcoming computer forensics institute.
[09:02] <jrib> cap10morgan: maybe try #ubuntu-motu
[09:02] <iiiears> orangey - gconf-editor "hardware"??
[09:03] <cap10morgan> jrib: thanks
[09:03] <orangey> iiiears: I don't understand your question.
[09:03] <NixNod> i want load my iptables rules on startup. can someone tell me where i can put it. Ubuntu works like Slackware? Example: /etc/rc.d/*
[09:03] <orangey> iiiears: could you expand?
[09:03] <orangey> bibe: so, how did you make it order?
[09:03] <finalbeta> Y does azureus have mozilla browser as a dependancy?
[09:03] <iiiears> orangey - gconf-editor is a graphical app. similar to the windows registry.
[09:03] <cwillu> NixNod: rc.d/ would work, as would /etc/network/interfaces, probably a few other ways too
[09:04] <Jowi> NixNod: all scripts are in /etc/init.d and from there link out to the /etc/rc2.d
[09:04] <bibe> orangey : just pasting to the pastebin...
[09:04] <Jowi> NixNod: "ls -la /etc/rc2.d" and you will see what I mean
[09:05] <gnomefreak> finalbeta: everyone asks that and only answer i can think of is for its help docs
[09:05] <Sjoerd-> question: I think there is something wrong with my apache2 or php5, when I got to a website of mine it wants me to choose what to open the php file with :(
[09:05] <jolmash> what if I need a specific PHP version? PHP 4.4.2 apt-get install php-4-4-2?
[09:05] <cwillu> sjoerd- is php enabled on apache?
[09:05] <NixNod> o0 OMG .. why sooo many symbolics links?
[09:05] <patrick_king> how do i upgrade breezy to dapper
[09:06] <uniq> jolmash: you wouldn't need a specific minorversion, for major versions you have php4 and php5
[09:06] <[Wiebel] > !upgrade
[09:06] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[09:06] <Sjoerd-> cwillu: Maybe not, how to I enable it?
[09:06] <jolmash> ok
[09:06] <Jowi> NixNod: because the actual scripts are actually stored in /etc/init.d
[09:06] <Answer> der0b, are there alternate voices for flite/festival?
[09:06] <jolmash> so, just apt-get install php?
[09:06] <cwillu> sjoerd- check the config files in /etc/apache2
[09:06] <finalbeta> gnomefreak: that makes little sense if mozilla firefox is installed by default, can I somehow remove the mozilla browser again?
[09:06] <Jowi> NixNod: I agree with you. I like the slackware method better.
[09:06] <Sjoerd-> jolmash: I have apt-get install php5 - no luck
[09:06] <eugman> Is gtkpod supposed to recognize ogg files?
[09:06] <Sjoerd-> cwillu: thanks I will have a look
[09:06] <cwillu> jolmash: php4, php5
[09:06] <gnomefreak> finalbeta: i dont see why you cant i never tried tho
[09:07] <jolmash> no luck with apt-get install php4
[09:07] <NixNod> Jowi, =P. so i just put it on /etc/init.d and it will autoload?
[09:07] <bibe> orangey : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16337
[09:07] <NixNod> Jowi, sure, with +x chmod
[09:07] <uniq> jolmash: what do you need? php cli? or module for apache?
[09:07] <finalbeta> gnomefreak: well, If I try it also wants to remove azureus, but that's the one I do need.
[09:07] <cwillu> finalbeta: if it's listed as a dependency, then uninstalling it will probably uninstall azereus, or at least bug you everytime you open synaptic about broken packages
[09:07] <Tonren> Hey guys, does anyone know of a good BitTorrent client for Linux?
[09:07] <Tauhshi> Hi, would anyone know how to load Windows drivers in Ubuntu?
[09:07] <SonicChao> BitTorrent
[09:08] <Tonren> BitTornado is OK, but I want something that lets me easily remove files from the download that I don't want.
[09:08] <SonicChao> Hehe...no sorry Tonren, I dont.
[09:08] <jolmash> uniq: what is better? php module or cli?
[09:08] <uniq> finalbeta: if you are confident it is not needed you can use 'equivs' (a package) to make fake packages.
[09:08] <cwillu> Tauhshi: except for a few specific types/cases, you generally can't
[09:08] <Sjoerd-> cwillu: Do you have any idea which of the config files I need to pick and what to look for?
[09:08] <Jowi> NixNod: not really. after you put it in /etc/init.d create a symlink to it in rc2.d. the name is for example S99yourscript. S = start, 99 = priority (higher numbers are starting later than lower ones)
[09:08] <bibe> orangey : 'man udev' should help you to build an appropriate line for each of your soundcards
[09:08] <eugman> Anyone know why gtkpod isn't recognizing ogg files?
[09:08] <bibe> orangey : have to go now, bye
[09:08] <uniq> jolmash: you're going to render php scripts on apache right?
[09:08] <NoUse> eugman probably because they aren't supported by ipods
[09:08] <Jowi> NixNod: and, yes. +x it :)
[09:08] <Tauhshi> Well, I have a Dell B120, and to function properly I have to install drivers from the Driver CD
[09:09] <jolmash> uniq: yes
[09:09] <cwillu> sjoerd-, one sec
[09:09] <eugman> No
[09:09] <eugman> e
[09:09] <eugman> whoops
[09:09] <Tauhshi> So, is there a way to run Ubuntu on my laptop?
[09:09] <NixNod> Jowi, it is so crazy.. i prefer Slackware mode. o0
[09:09] <uniq> jolmash: in console: 'sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5'
[09:09] <Sjoerd-> I found these lines
[09:09] <Sjoerd-> #AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
[09:09] <Sjoerd-> #AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
[09:09] <Sjoerd-> uncomment the first?
[09:09] <uniq> sjoerd-: those would have to be uncommented, correct.
[09:09] <eugman> NoUse, So it won't transcode? I have to change it to mp3 myself?
[09:09] <jolmash> uniq: but, I need php4
[09:10] <cwillu> Sjoerd-: uniq: jolmash: in console: 'sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5'
[09:10] <_absolution_> what is x server?
[09:10] <jolmash> sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php4??
[09:10] <cwillu> sjoerd-:   double check that, it might config it for you
[09:10] <uniq> jolmash: ok, libapache-mod-php4 it is.
[09:10] <jolmash> ok
[09:10] <cwillu> _absolution_: the ui
[09:10] <Wallakoala> #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:10] <uniq> jolmash: libapache2, correct.
[09:10] <Jowi> Slack is amazingly simplified NixNod. pretty different in its ways (for better or worse). I dualboot slack/ubuntu for that reason
[09:11] <Tauhshi> Would anyone know of a place to find drivers for linux? Or a HCL?
[09:11] <jason_> where can i get a drivers for a sound blaster live 24 bit sound card
[09:11] <Tonren> Tauhshi, Ubuntu Dapper is running fine on my laptop.
[09:11] <Warbo> Tauhshi: /lib/modules?
[09:11] <Sjoerd-> cwillu: It had not got fixed yet, I uncommented and restart apache, nothing changed..
[09:11] <cwillu> Tauhshi: which drivers did you need?  (most are built into the kernel)
[09:11] <cwillu> sjoerd- did you check that package that I pinged you with?
[09:11] <mwe> Jowi: does slackware still not append versions to the package names?
[09:11] <jolmash> uniq: Package libapache2-mod-php4 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[09:11] <Tauhshi> Drivers for Everything on my Dell Inspiron B120
[09:11] <_absolution_> how come it don't work for me....
[09:12] <Tauhshi> Sound, Ethernet, WiFi, and Video
[09:12] <eugman> Anyone know how I can to a mass change from .ogg to mp3 or aac?
[09:12] <Sjoerd-> cwillu: I did not receive any ping sorry..
[09:12] <jolmash> could it be a sources.lst problem?
[09:12] <Warbo> Tauhshi: I would be very suprised if your ethernet didn't work
[09:12] <uniq> jolmash: enable the universe repository.
[09:12] <cwillu> sjoerd- libapache-mod-php4
[09:12] <mwe> !info libapache2-mod-php4
[09:12] <ubotu> libapache2-mod-php4: server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (apache 2.0 module). In repository universe, is optional. Version 4:4.4.2-1build1 (dapper), package size 1520 kB, installed size 3096 kB
[09:12] <NixNod> Jowi, i trade Slackware for Gentoo, but i no liked Gentoo, now i'm trying Ubuntu, it looks nice.
[09:12] <cwillu> or php5
[09:12] <Sjoerd-> cwillu: ok :)
[09:12] <Tauhshi> Well, I mostly need WiFi
[09:12] <mwe> jolmash: enable universe and update
[09:12] <Warbo> !ndiswrapper
[09:12] <ubotu> Documentation for wireless networking can be found on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs
[09:12] <jolmash> uniq: how can I enable the universe repository?
[09:13] <Warbo> !universe
[09:13] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto and !easysource
[09:13] <cwillu> sjoerd- I've got libapache2-mod-php4, php4 and php4-common installed
[09:13] <Jowi> mwe: i think it has appended version numbers since v8.1 or something
[09:13] <NoUse> eugman you can try try soundconvert
[09:13] <Sjoerd-> cwillu: Package libapache-mod-php5 is not available
[09:13] <uniq> jolmash: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncommend the lines containing universe
[09:13] <jason_> does anyone know where i can find drivers for a soundblaster live! 24 bit sound card?
[09:13] <NoUse> eugman soundconverter seems to be a Gnome app which might be easier
[09:13] <jolmash> uniq: oh, hehe
[09:14] <cwillu> sjoerd-  libapache2-mod-php5, sorry
[09:14] <andii> is there a web interface torrent program? need it to my ubuntu-server
[09:14] <uniq> sjoerd-: libapache is for apache 1.3.x libapache2 is for apache 2.x, you most likely want libapache2-
[09:14] <mwe> Jowi: really? It didn't in 7 at least
[09:14] <Sjoerd-> let met purge all three and reinstall - see if that fixes anything
[09:14] <Warbo> I don't suppose there is a way to change the colour Epiphany uses in the address bar for SSL sites? (white text on pale yellow doesn't work)
[09:15] <_absolution_> is there a problem with xserver on Dapper?
[09:15] <Jowi> NixNod: ubuntu is _very_ nice. but it takes some time to get used to the change from slack. never enjoyed compiling everything in gentoo :)
[09:15] <DBO> _absolution_, not really, are you having issues?
[09:15] <Jowi> mwe: yeah, think they added it in 8 or 8.1
[09:15] <Warbo> Jowi: I have run Gentoo in Qemu. That takes a while :)
[09:15] <Jowi> lol Warbo
[09:15] <_absolution_> yeah....
[09:15] <flosch|terrasse> can somebody tell me how i get mp3-support working?
[09:15] <_absolution_> can't start it up

[09:16] <Warbo> Anyone know why Beagle returns hardly any results (usually none)?
[09:16] <Sjoerd-> cwillu / uniq: all three packages are installed but php still doesn't seem to work, any other idea's?
[09:16] <jason_> Does anyone know where i can find drivers for a soundblaster Live! 24 bit sound card?
[09:16] <cwillu> andii: have to be web?  can you use ssh?
[09:16] <mwe> Jowi: well that's great. It was really annoying before
[09:16] <jolmash> uniq: :O hehe
[09:16] <cwillu> sjoerd- let me check the rest of my config :p
[09:16] <Jowi> mwe: totally agree
[09:17] <DBO> Warbo, how long have you had beagle?
[09:17] <uniq> jolmash: that command is to update the list of packages, so you should run it regularily if you want security updates and such.
[09:17] <cwillu> lol
[09:17] <Sjoerd-> cwillu: I have gone through my config looking for lines with php in it, only thing I found was the two lines i mentioned earlier, i uncommented them both
[09:17] <Tonren> Hey guys, how do I check out network traffic to see if I'm getting and/or sending packets over a certain port?
[09:17] <Warbo> DBO: A while. I tried the "export BEAGLE_EXERCISE_THE_DOG=1" before running beagled
[09:17] <jolmash> uniq: what is what "apt-get update" updates?
[09:17] <uniq> sjoerd-: all three what? can you please give me names?
[09:17] <cwillu> sjoerd-:  what is in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled ?
[09:17] <andii> cwillu, has to be web
[09:17] <DBO> Warbo, did your CPU usage spike?
[09:17] <cwillu> andii: there might be a plugin for webmin, not sure though
[09:17] <jolmash> uniq: ok, I've understand it
[09:18] <Sjoerd-> cwillu: php5 php5-common libapache2-mod-php5
[09:18] <Warbo> DBO: A little (as in, spike, nothing constant)
[09:18] <NixNod> Jowi, i'm doing it becouse my torrent download rate is too slow, i don't know why it is slower, none rule in Iptables, but when i open the ports in TCP and UDP protocols it make my downloads in torrent more faster
[09:18] <uniq> jolmash: apt-get update updates the list of packages, on the main ubuntu repository servers, so the list of packageavailable for downloadwith apt-get basically.
[09:18] <cwillu> sjoerd-: ?  that doesn't sound right
[09:18] <Sjoerd-> cwillu: What does not?
[09:19] <DBO> Warbo, make sure your setting are set to index everything and not just your home folder
[09:19] <cwillu> sjoerd-:  those were the files in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ ?
[09:19] <Sjoerd-> cwillu: No those are the packages installed, uniq wanted to know.
[09:19] <cwillu> ahh
[09:19] <cwillu> lol
[09:19] <nemesis> hey all:)
[09:19] <Sjoerd-> should php be mentioned in a file under /mods-enabled/ ?
[09:20] <DBO> Warbo, it wont index anything thats not in your home directory by default
[09:20] <Jowi> NixNod: ok
[09:20] <cwillu> sjoerd-, make sure anything with php in the name that's in /etc/apache2/mods-available/ is linked to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
[09:20] <Warbo> DBO: It is set to index my home and the "Files" partition mounted in it, but it only seems to be coming up with webpages
[09:20] <uniq> sjoerd-: you want php5 right?
[09:20] <cwillu> i.e., I've got php4.conf  php4.load in that folder
[09:20] <NixNod> Jowi, is it normal?
[09:20] <Jowi> NixNod: you don't really need my permission you know :P
[09:20] <Jowi> NixNod: no idea
[09:20] <Sjoerd-> cwillu: There are no files in /mods-available/ with php in it in my installation - uniq: yes :)
[09:20] <DBO> Warbo, when you open beagle press Ctrl + E
[09:21] <DBO> then do your search Warbo
[09:21] <uniq> sjoerd-: you have the correct php packages installed. Now you need to make sure the php5 module is enabled in apache, and then restart apache.
[09:21] <cwillu> sjoerd-, what about mods-enabled?
[09:21] <NixNod> Jowi, thanks very mutch =)
[09:21] <nemesis> im getting this wierd error with synaptic package manager..can anyone tell me how 2 fix it-thx?
[09:21] <Sjoerd-> cwillu: There are four files in /mods-enabled/ : cgid.conf cgid.load userdir.conf userdir.load
[09:21] <uniq> sjoerd-: i don't belive you, as for mods-available, if that's empty you're missing apache.

[09:21] <nemesis> this one
[09:21] <iiiears> !paste
[09:21] <nemesis> sorry
[09:21] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[09:22] <gnomefreak> ???
[09:22] <cwillu> sjoerd-, have to agree with uniq here :)
[09:22] <gnomefreak> uniq: ?
[09:22] <Warbo> DBO: It is already set to "Everything"
[09:22] <Amaranth> nemesis: Please use pastebin
[09:22] <nemesis> sorry all
[09:22] <DBO> Warbo, ok, what FS are you using?
[09:22] <gnomefreak> ah i see
[09:22] <Warbo> DBO: (I was just looking through the options for what it meant, then realised :))
[09:22] <cwillu> sjoerd-:  it sounds like the apache2 install is borked
[09:22] <nemesis> what is the right address for the repositories?
[09:22] <gnomefreak> !repos
[09:22] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto and !easysource
[09:22] <jason_> Does anyone know where i can find drivers for a SoundBlaster Live! 24 Bit sound card???
[09:22] <Warbo> DBO: ext3 on Files (where most of my stuff is) and Reiser on / (which includes my home)
[09:22] <cwillu> sjoerd-, there should be like 40 entries in available
[09:22] <jolmash> uniq: uuf, I have installed Apache2 and PHP4, now I'm going to install mysql, How can I install GD Library for PHP?
[09:22] <nemesis> nice thx
[09:22] <Sjoerd-> uniq / cwillu: mods-available is not empty, there are tens of files in it, none with php in the name however
[09:23] <Amaranth> nemesis: those are unofficial repositories, they could change at any time
[09:23] <DBO> have you enabled extended attributes on the ext3 FS Warbo?
[09:23] <Warbo> DBO: ?
[09:23] <Sjoerd-> cwillu / uniq: Maybe important to know, a site that uses simple html works..
[09:23] <DBO> http://beagle-project.org/Enabling_Extended_Attributes Warbo
[09:23] <uniq> jolmash: sudo apt-get install php4-gd
[09:23] <Warbo> DBO: I'll check it out thanks
[09:24] <cwillu> sjoerd-; you're _sure_ libapache2-mod-php5 is installed?
[09:24] <uniq> sjoerd-: try 'sudo apt-get --purge remove libapache2-mod-php5;sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5'
[09:24] <DShepherd> is there a way to know if you have a certain program minimized on a workspace that your not on. without actuall switching to it?
[09:25] <jolmash> uniq: oh, god, this is so easy
[09:25] <Sjoerd-> cwillu: libapache2-mod-php5 is already the newest version.
[09:25] <cwillu> DShepherd: you can set the taskbar to display all windows
[09:25] <uniq> sjoerd-: then 'sudo a2enmod php5;sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload'
[09:25] <jrib> DShepherd: you can have the task list include all workspaces, not just the current one
[09:25] <jolmash> it was a joke
[09:25] <jason_> Does anyone know where i can find drivers for a SoundBlaster Live! 24 Bit sound card???
[09:26] <Tonren> Hey guys, where are the kernel packages in Synaptics?

[09:26] <uniq> jolmash: sudo /etc/init.d/apach2 restart
[09:26] <Sjoerd-> uniq: It says those files do not exist
[09:26] <jason_> thanks
[09:26] <uniq> jolmash: that's apache2, not apach2 :] 
[09:26] <uniq> sjoerd-: what? /etc/init.d/apache2?
[09:27] <NoUse> Tonren main, just search for linux-image
[09:27] <Tonren> NoUse, thanks!
[09:27] <uniq> sjoerd-: sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-prefork
[09:27] <Sjoerd-> uniq: that one does, the first didn't : This module does not exist!
[09:27] <Warbo> DBO: I just added that to fstab, remounted and reran beagled. Now my CPU usage is staying pretty high, so I guess it's doing something, thanks
[09:27] <uniq> sjoerd-: so weird..
[09:27] <Sjoerd-> apache2-mpm-prefork is already the newest version.
[09:28] <uniq> sjoerd-: the package is installed, but the module does not exist.
[09:28] <Sjoerd-> right
[09:28] <Sjoerd-> purge it?
[09:28] <DBO> Warbo, always happy to fumble across an answer I am
[09:28] <Warbo> DBO: :)
[09:28] <DShepherd> cwillu: thanks.. but that's what workspace kind help me not to do
[09:29] <Thinjon100> OK, this should be an easy question for y'all... I have a standard Ubuntu installation on one partition, and I have a large 150Gb partition (currently mounted as /osshare)  I've made an /osshare/ubuntu64 folder.  What's the easiest way to move/symlink my current /home folder to /osshare/ubuntu64 ?
[09:29] <jolmash> uniq: ok, I have installed GD!
[09:29] <uniq> sjoerd-: do as i asked you to, 'sudo apt-get --purge remove libapache2-mod-php5;sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5'
[09:29] <uniq> jolmash: great :)
[09:29] <Sjoerd-> uniq: I just did..
[09:30] <jolmash> uniq: well, how can I install PHP5, if I have php4 as module
[09:30] <uniq> sjoerd-: and? 'sudo a2enmod php5' says?
[09:30] <Warbo> Thinjon100: You can use "sudo mount --bind /olddirectory /newdirectory" to access /olddirectory in /newdirectory as well
[09:30] <DShepherd> jrib: hmmm how so?
[09:30] <Sjoerd-> This module does not exist!
[09:30] <uniq> jolmash: you want BOTH?
[09:30] <jolmash> uniq: it could be very good if I have PHP5 render .php5 extensions and PHP4 render .php4 extension
[09:30] <ddrj> guys, doing an hd install, but the iso-scan doesn't find my installer iso, and i put the ubuntu.iso in C:\
[09:30] <jolmash> well, actually PHP4 render.php
[09:31] <uniq> jolmash: then you would have to refer to a howto, I don't know how to do that from the top of my head.
[09:31] <jrib> DShepherd: right click on the beginning of it (the seperation bar) and go to properties
[09:31] <Thinjon100> Warbo: will that move current files in /home to /osshare/ubuntu64, and make all new files that I save in /home go to the new folder, or do I need to take extra steps?
[09:31] <NoUse> ddrj can you send us the link to the software you are using?
[09:31] <jrib> DShepherd: s/properties/preferences
[09:31] <ddrj> NoUse: well i'm not using any software, i jsut edited grub to load the i386installer files, vmlinuz and initrd.gz
[09:32] <Sjoerd-> uniq: Would it be an idea to ask help in the #apache channel?
[09:32] <NoUse> ddrj ok, well what instructions are you following?
[09:32] <uniq> sjoerd-: no, don't think so, it must be something specific to your system. I can't understand anything else.
[09:32] <diskotec|w> when you install anything using synaptic in Ubuntu, it opens a terminal screen and you can see "everything" happening in the background.  Does the system save that information somewhere?
[09:32] <Warbo> Thinjon100: That will pretend that /home is in /osshare/ubuntu64, so the files will be all saved in /home. Of course you can do it the other way around (move /home to /osshare/ubuntu64 and bind it to /home) and the files will be saved in /osshare/ubuntu64. A simple "sudo mv /olddir /newlocation" will move a directory
[09:32] <DShepherd> jrib: oh.. that;s the same suggestion that cwillu suggested. doesnt that defeat the whole idea of using workspaces
[09:33] <ddrj> uh.. it's on the forums NoUse, let me pull it up, problem is they don't know on the forums either :\
[09:33] <uniq> sjoerd-: hang on you can have my files from mods-available.
[09:33] <ddrj> so i figure i could ask here
[09:33] <Sjoerd-> uniq: nice :)
[09:33] <Sjoerd-> uniq: I have another ubuntu setup though, I guess i can copy them from there

[09:34] <fijam> How to start text-mode installer from Ubunbtu 6.06?
[09:34] <Thinjon100> Warbo: so in this instance, "sudo mv /home /osshare/ubuntu64" , then what? "sudo ln -s /home /osshare/ubuntu64" or do the mount --bind?
[09:34] <Sjoerd-> uniq: Under that system there are no files with php in the name either.
[09:34] <jrib> DShepherd: oh I didn't see that.  I don't like that preference myself
[09:34] <cwillu> fijam: alternatives cd
[09:34] <Warbo> fijam: You can't actually do that with the LiveCD (sadly). There is an "alternate" disc which uses text-mode
[09:34] <uniq> jolmash: http://www.howtoforge.com/apache2_with_php5_and_php4

[09:35] <jolmash> uniq: to install phpmyadmin, apt-get install phpmyadmin? :D
[09:35] <Warbo> Thinjon100: You can use either the link or the bind. If you use the bind then it won't actually touch the /home at all (a link will, obviously, create a link). You can actually add bind options in /etc/fstab to be loaded at boot as well
[09:36] <cwillu> rajk: sudo apt-get check -f
[09:36] <uniq> sjoerd-: http://frode.lnix.net/dull/apache/
[09:36] <NoUse> rajk ooops, only need one 'sudo'
[09:36] <uniq> jolmash: yes.
[09:36] <ddrj> guys, i'm doing an HDINSTALL, when i get to the installer, it automatically searches my hard drive for the ubuntu iso, but it doesn't find it (C:\ubuntufilename.iso), how can i specify where the file is ?? or where can i move the file to so it FINDS it??
[09:36] <Sjoerd-> thanks uniq
[09:36] <NoUse> ddrj did you find the forum post?
[09:36] <Thinjon100> Warbo: Thanks for the help... do you perhaps know the syntax for adding the bind to the fstab?  I'm still fairly new to Linux

[09:37] <NextJCGen> hey all, i've recently setup ubuntu on my laptop and got eclipse setup; for some reason though eclipse is running rather slow (~.5second delay when just typing text)  does anyone else experience this?
[09:37] <rajk> cheers the -f (i assume this is force?) did the trick!
[09:37] <DShepherd> cwillu and jrib thanks for the help though

[09:38] <NoUse> rajk it means fix broken packages
[09:38] <cwillu> DShepherd: I'm not even sure how you would implement that other than the taskbar;  maybe a rollover on the switcher that displayed all the open windows, but that could be a big popup
[09:38] <rajk> ah right
[09:38] <Sjoerd-> uniq: They go in mods-available and a symlink in mods-enabled right?
[09:38] <rajk> what doe sit mean by broken?
[09:38] <rajk> does it*
[09:38] <NoUse> rajk broken dependencies usually
[09:38] <ddrj> here's the link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=13630
[09:39] <rajk> thats a quite amazing operator
[09:39] <uniq> sjoerd-: they go in mods-available, then you use: 'a2enmod php5' to enable, and it will do symlinking for you automagically, then you would have to force-reload apache: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload
[09:39] <uniq> bye.
[09:39] <Warbo> Thinjon100: Here's an example line: "/osshare           /home        none    bind            0       0"

[09:40] <digggg> any help please?
[09:40] <ddrj> NoUse: i tried that, the net installer
[09:40] <DShepherd> cwillu: hmm. I was thinking maybe holding ctrl/shift/alt or something wheen hovering to get a the minimzed apps only
[09:41] <Warbo> diskotec|w: If you want to save that info in the future you could use apt-get from the CLI and put a "> file.log" or something at the end (I think, but you would have to force apt-get not to ask you a question)
[09:41] <ddrj> that was the first thing i tried, problem was that everytime i did it, my screen hung on boot
[09:41] <Zambezi> Is avalaunch a package in Gnome?
[09:41] <pdlnhrd> can anyone help me to get an remote X11 application to launch on my client?  there must be some setting to allow x11 but can't find it... and the remote machine does not accept ssh -X

[09:43] <iiiears> jolmash: suPHP possibly.
[09:43] <wizardjames> how do you unshield a .exe???
[09:43] <pdlnhrd> cwillu:  o.k. maybe i am a retard than.. i can do it for an osx machine no problem... xhost + local ssh user@server   on server export display  and launch app.. but on my ubuntu box it does not work :(
[09:43] <Warbo> digggg: Look in the graphics card device section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Add "Option            "NoLogo"               "true"" to it
[09:43] <digggg> Warbo: thanks. i'll try that
[09:44] <cwillu> pdlnhrd: remote machine is osx?
[09:44] <Warbo> diskotec|w: Not that I have found, sorry (If you are desperate then you could screenshot, or maybe use one of those screen-scouring type programs that helps blind people)
[09:44] <pdlnhrd> cwillu:  no it works if i am client is osx... remote is SunOs5.8
[09:44] <png> i need to configure thunderbird or evolution to fetch/read the user mails that syslog sends to localhost?
[09:44] <ddrj> what do you guys do if iso-scan doesn't find your iso?

[09:51] <dereks> cwillu: i don't want to reconfig all though
[09:51] <Isaac-> I'd use aptitude reinstall (nvidia_driver_package)
[09:51] <SonicChao> dereks: Just do it
[09:52] <SonicChao> dereks: At least your getting support....
[09:52] <sorush20> no I want to see my linux partitions when I am running winodws
[09:52] <Tonren> !samba
[09:52] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[09:52] <cwillu> sorush20: unfortunately, windows doesn't understand ext3 at all
[09:53] <Tonren> cwillu, not even with Samba?
[09:53] <cwillu> sorush20: if you need r/w between the two, a fat/fat32 partition is your best bet
[09:53] <pdlnhrd> cwillu:  that fixed it thanks... though i guess for security concerns i shouldn't leave it on
[09:53] <iiiears> !ntfs is alias
[09:53] <digggg> Warbo: yea basically. i dont know why. i even reformatted it several times and then reinstall the drivers again. both the nvidia-glx and then the latest drivers. same problem. stucked at splash screen. how do i copy and paste it to the pastebin? i am on my windows box now and i change my xorg file through the recovery mode
[09:53] <cwillu> Tonren: samba isn't dealing with physical filesystems
[09:53] <sorush20> well I do have a fat partition not and ntfs.. so that should be okay right.
[09:53] <iiiears> !ntfs is alias diskmounter
[09:53] <Tonren> cwillu, oh true... samba is a whole different category, isn't it
[09:54] <Warbo> sorush20: There is an ext3 driver for WIndows, but the ubotu entry I knew is now gone (!explore2fs)
[09:54] <jrib> sorush20: http://fs-driver.org/ will let you see your linux ext3 partitions in windows
[09:54] <jrib> (and write)
[09:54] <cwillu> pdlnhrd: you could play with xnest
[09:54] <jrib> Warbo: it's in !ext3 now, I was looking for that one too
[09:54] <Warbo> digggg: You could try those fs-driver links to get at your xorg.conf
[09:54] <iiiears> Warbo - You could add it agian. No?
[09:55] <cwillu> run xnest in gnome, and then allow xnest to accept connections so the issues are limited to the remote connections at least
[09:55] <Warbo> iiiears: They've changed ubotu
[09:55] <jolmash> I installed sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql and sudo apt-get install php4-mysql and phpmyadmin, but phpmyadmin can't connect to mysql, how can i start mysql?
[09:55] <iiiears> Warbo - Yes, They "Improve" him too often. - lol
[09:55] <digggg> Warbo: sorry but i've no idea what you're trying to tell me to do
[09:55] <Warbo> ubotu explore2fs is a way to access ext3 partitions from within Windows. Check out http://www.fs-driver.org
[09:55] <DShepherd> what's the difference between gabber and gabber2? they are both available for apt.
[09:56] <ChineseHacker> cracker guo ?
[09:56] <pdlnhrd> cwillu:  it is a tool that i use maybe monthly.. i shouldn't be so lazy to open my laptop and do it.. thanks for solving it... now at least i know why it wasn't working
[09:56] <Warbo> digggg: Look at that fs-driver.org site if you want to access Linux files from within Windows, and as for pastebin.....
[09:56] <Warbo> !pastebin
[09:56] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[09:56] <scottDkoDer> join #orgy
[09:56] <iiiears> lol
[09:57] <ChineseHacker> wo men shi zong guo ren
[09:57] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: Erm...... JohnTheRipper can crack passwords......
[09:58] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : Who is that ?
[09:58] <ChineseHacker> wo men shi zung guo ren
[09:58] <digggg> Warbo: but how do i paste it there? i am on another computer now? can i paste it through the command line?
[09:58] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: It's a program
[09:58] <Mend> good evening, everyone!
[09:58] <Dragoonz-also> does anyone here authenicate with a AD server for there users to login... i'm having trouble, i can get to it from single/recover mode and browse windows shares... i can not boot to the KDE login how ever and get logged in.
[09:58] <Warbo> digggg: You can access the web with lynx, but I don't know about copy/paste in a CLI
[09:59] <DShepherd> nvm.. i found the answer to my question
[09:59] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : What program ?
[09:59] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: Called JohnTheRipper
[09:59] <billybennett> How do I change the config for the VNC Server thats included with Ubuntu?
[09:59] <digggg> Warbo: well any other ideas? please. =(
[10:00] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : Where do I get that ? can you please ddos me ? :(
[10:00] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: I don't have the resources to DDOS you sorry. "sudo apt-get install john"
[10:00] <Mend> I have a problem with installing gtk+-2.0. I even wasn't able to install prerequisites (glib, pango, atk). ./configure for pango goes ok but make is generating error like "can't find glib-mkenums command". Please, help!
[10:00] <iiiears> !ubotu ActiiveDirectory is  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-91510.html  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-91510.html
[10:01] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : Erm, Please ddos me now. I want to test my personal internet line.
[10:01] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : I would be real happy if you could. or else I will ddos you :(
[10:02] <digggg> ChineseHacker: what the hell is with you?
[10:02] <Warbo> digggg: Nevermind. Hmm. thinking (I used to prefer NVidia, but now I am using my Dad's ATI I can use Free drivers. Yay!)
[10:02] <ChineseHacker> digggg : would you please shut up ? :).
[10:02] <gray__> now, now kids
[10:02] <Tonren> Yo ChineseHacker, what can we help you with?
[10:02] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: I just noticed the word "Cracker" and thought I would suggest a cracking program to you (in case you forgot your password)
[10:03] <ChineseHacker> Tonren : I am looking for someone that can ddos me.
[10:03] <Sjoerd-> ChineseHacker: wrong channel, wrong network
[10:03] <Tonren> ChineseHacker, this is probably the wrong room.  This is a support chat for the Ubuntu distribution of Linux.
[10:03] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: I actually know just the guy (seriously, he will DDOS you if you really want him to)
[10:03] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : Alright. Close case. :).
[10:03] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : Who is that guy ?
[10:04] <Mend> I have a problem with installing gtk+-2.0. I even wasn't able to install prerequisites (glib, pango, atk). ./configure for pango goes ok but make is generating error like "can't find glib-mkenums command". Please, help!
[10:04] <default> hi
[10:04] <DarthVader> howdy
[10:04] <gray__> hey
[10:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Yo Ho
[10:04] <dragonkh> ChineseHacker: hello - are you chinese?
[10:04] <Sjoerd-> Warbo: Doesn't seem like a very good idea, you never know what he ends op DDoSing
[10:04] <SonicChao> dragonkh: I'm guessing he is
[10:04] <digggg> anyone else know how to copy and paste file to pastebin through cli?
[10:05] <dragonkh> SonicChao: yeah sounds like it
[10:05] <dragonkh> SonicChao: how are you ?
[10:05] <martinoc> hi all
[10:05] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : So who is the guy you actually knew, that can perform a DDOS ?
[10:05] <DarthVader> is there some kind of filtering on ubuntu (or Linux in general) that will make a packet broadcasted from another computer not received by a socket expecting it (correct UDP port and SO_BROADCAST set)?
[10:05] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: I am just looking up the postings for when you entered the room (to get your IP) don't worry
[10:05] <SonicChao> dragonkh: do you want to open a personal message? this is a suport channel and can't have a lot of talk
[10:06] <default> I have a short question - where or with which gui frontend (if available) can I change the settings concerning file associations? or let me say it this way: where can I find which exact command is associated to a particular filetype? is there such a thing like an file type assoc. editor?
[10:06] <DarthVader> more specificaly, when the IP @ and subnet mask of the packet sender doesn't match the Linux host settings?
[10:07] <DarthVader> I can see the packet with ethereal, but the socket doesn't get it ...
[10:07] <digggg> anyone else know how to copy and paste file to pastebin through cli?
[10:07] <Jack_Sparrow> DarthVader: sounds like you are trying to hack a Linux box to me..
[10:07] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : don't you have my IP ? I just want to test the DDOS power.
[10:07] <gray__> does anyone have an answer to default's question?  i wonder that too
[10:07] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: I have your IP now, just setting it up
[10:08] <dibblego> is there an application for setting up SSH tunnels automatically?
[10:08] <Tonren> Hey, has anyone ever set up a 32bit chroot on their 64bit build?
[10:08] <Warbo> default: This can be done easily in Konqueror, but has to be done individually in GNOME
[10:08] <iiiears> digggg: There was an IRC paste channel on freenode. #paste - Does that help?
[10:09] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : What is my real IP ?
[10:09] <DarthVader> Jack_Sparrow, no I'm trying to talk to a ethernet device that is mis-configured
[10:09] <default> Warbo: thank you. Where exactly do I have to change the settings for gnome?
[10:09] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: Well here I have Winter@67.64.202.50
[10:09] <|lostbyte|> Help !
[10:09] <dragonkh> SonicChao: sure - I just messaged you :)
[10:09] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> anyone using swiftfox?
[10:09] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : Lucky you.
[10:09] <Warbo> default: You just right click the file type you want to associate and go on it's properties
[10:09] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : Then you want to ddos me ?
[10:09] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: You asked me to
[10:09] <Lazarus> aew
[10:09] <|lostbyte|> Need help in debugging why my internet coneection is SLow :)
[10:09] <digggg> iiiears: but how do i go about pasting my file through cli?
[10:09] <iiiears> digggg: Can you get to irssi?
[10:10] <Lazarus> boa tarde
[10:10] <scotticus> can someone lend me a hand with a soundcard issue?
[10:10] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : Please do that then. I want to see how powerful you are.
[10:10] <digggg> iiiears: sorry but i dont know what that is
[10:10] <tomlikestorock> as of last night, my laptop is 100% fully functional and running linux. EVERYTHING works correctly!
[10:10] <zombieReagan> hey, anyone want to tell me how to get dapper to stop setting my resolution to goofy ass settings every time I reboot?
[10:10] <billybennett> Are there any programs for linux that can split MP3s?
[10:10] <zombieReagan> my geforce 6600 CAN do more that 1024x768
[10:10] <gray__> digggg: irssi is an IRC client :)
[10:11] <iiiears> digggg: nano/vi/vim/emacs to open the file then paste it into irssi irc client.
[10:11] <Warbo> zombieReagan: But can the "nv" driver?
[10:11] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> zombieReagan: did u install the nvidia driver?
[10:11] <DarthVader> Jack_Sparrow, I'll assume that Linux think this is an "illegal" packet .. is there a way to turn this off?
[10:11] <zombieReagan> pity i'm not using the nv driver
[10:11] <zombieReagan> yeah i installed it
[10:11] <Jack_Sparrow> 6600 here but no res problems except once after one of the screensavers
[10:11] <ChineseHacker> I am waiting
[10:11] <ChineseHacker> Please ddos me.
[10:11] <scotticus> i'm pretty sure the sounds will work, just don't know all the right settings
[10:11] <|lostbyte|> billybennett, splitmp3
[10:11] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: He said "k, give me a bit"
[10:11] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : Okay.
[10:11] <Jack_Sparrow> DarthVader: DO you have physical access to that box
[10:11] <zombieReagan> like, i'll add the resolutions to the xorg.conf and on reboot it'll blow away my config in favor of one of it's own
[10:11] <jrattner1> This is the biggest channel on freenode
[10:11] <jrattner1> thats funny
[10:12] <DarthVader> yes, I'm typing on the channel from it :-)
[10:12] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> zombieReagan: do , sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and configure it
[10:12] <fernando_> Can anyone help with CS4236 sound?
[10:12] <Warbo> jrattner1: I find #gentoo usually has a lot of people in it, but that is because Gentoo is so confusing :)
[10:12] <default> Warbo: right, but than I can only choose an application name. Is there a way to find out the exact command  behind an existing association? I mean, one of those that I already see, when I check it using the instruction in your last msg
[10:12] <digggg> iiiears and gray_: does irssi comes with the the default ubuntu installation? i installed xchat for irc
[10:13] <billybennett> |lostbyte|, how do I get splitmp3 ?
[10:13] <jrattner1> Warbo, gentoo wins it has more : )
[10:13] <Jack_Sparrow> DarthVader: I am not entirely sure what all you are trying to do
[10:13] <gray__> digggg yes i think so, but if not you can install it easily from synaptic
[10:13] <jrattner1> i didnt see it before
[10:13] <Warbo> default: Usually a program's command is that program's name (like "mplayer" or "totem")
[10:13] <Jack_Sparrow> How about a quik recap..
[10:13] <|lostbyte|> billybennett, sudo apt-get install splitmp3
[10:13] <|lostbyte|> Need help in debugging why my internet coneection is SLow :) anyone ?
[10:13] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> zombieReagan: make sure you select the right driver , nvidia, not nv
[10:13] <zombieReagan> awesome, thanks
[10:13] <zombieReagan> brb
[10:14] <ChineseHacker> Come on Warbo
[10:14] <digggg> gray__: how do i use synaptic through cli?
[10:14] <ChineseHacker> I almost fall asleep !
[10:14] <DarthVader> Jack_Sparrow, I'm working with a device that can have its IP configuration changed ... if it is plugged on a computer with the wrong IP settings ... the device can be contacted using broadcasting to reconfigured ...
[10:14] <Tonren> ChineseHacker, you're still in the wrong room.
[10:14] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: Hey, it's out of my hands at the moment. I'm just a proxy
[10:14] <gray__> digggg: oh, um then how about apt-get install irssi?
[10:14] <default> Warbo: the reason why I am asking: I have several scriptfiles starting bittorrent with different parameters. The one (od which I dont know which it is)
[10:14] <default> whoops, sorry
[10:14] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : What do you mean by 'you are just a proxy' ?
[10:14] <gray__> digggg: first try just 'irssi' from CLI to see if you have it
[10:15] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: Exactly what I said
[10:15] <bina> Are most DVD Burners compatible with linux?  I'm looking at LG GSA-4167SB.  I already have an LG CD writer so I thought it may be more likely to work :)
[10:15] <ChineseHacker> Tonren : Would you please shut up when I am looking for someone that can actually ddos me ?
[10:15] <default> Warbo: the reason why I am asking: I have several scriptfiles starting bittorrent with different parameters. The one (of which I dont know which it is) is associated with one script running bt with the wrong ports.
[10:15] <zombieReagan> thanks all, that worked. for future reference it might be a worthwhile endeavor to invest in the time to write a pretty gui frontend for setting up X like in suse or windows
[10:15] <billybennett> |lostbyte|, no such program ?
[10:15] <Tonren> ChineseHacker: I'm just trying to help out.  You're probably looking in the wrong place.  This isn't the kind of room where people know how to DDoS folks.
[10:15] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: I find this pretty funny, but don't be abusive or you will be kicked
[10:15] <DarthVader> Jack_Sparrow, so I'm sending a broadcast on the network (LAN) and that device is answering to it ... but Linux filter-out its answer
[10:15] <gray__> so... if someone ddos'ed ChineseHacker, does that mean he would be disconnected?
[10:16] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> zombieReagan: yeah , it will be fixed within next ten years
[10:16] <Ohzie> Heya. With speedstepping, how do I specifically tell my processor how fast it should be going? And bypass the dynamic voltage changing? I know you can, because my friend does it on his XPS all the time. Said it helps with games.
[10:16] <gray__> if so, just give the man what he wants :P
[10:16] <zombieReagan> i'm sure
[10:16] <zombieReagan> ciao
[10:16] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : Yeah right. You promised me to ddos me, but at last you can't.
[10:16] <Warbo> default: I am pretty sure you can associate a specific command with a program ("use custom command" or something like that)
[10:16] <ChineseHacker> gray__ : Would you be kind enough to packet me ?
[10:16] <Jack_Sparrow> DarthVader: what firewall are you using, are you also behind a router?
[10:16] <ChineseHacker> Tonren : Yes. But I am asking for help as well. So just don't bother.
[10:16] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: I never did. I said I will get someone to (hence I am a proxy) and he is apparently working on it
[10:16] <default> Warbo: ok, thank you very much.
[10:16] <gray__>  /waves at ChineseHacker.  wus a paket? o.O
[10:17] <Mend> I have a problem with installing gtk+-2.0. I even wasn't able to install prerequisites (glib, pango, atk). ./configure for pango goes ok but make is generating error like "can't find glib-mkenums command". Please, help!
[10:17] <digggg> gray__: i do have irssi apparently. =). okay now how can i paste my xorg file to somewhere public?
[10:17] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : Can you please tell me who is that ?
[10:17] <Mend> I have a problem with installing gtk+-2.0. I even wasn't able to install prerequisites (glib, pango, atk). ./configure for pango goes ok but make is generating error like "can't find glib-mkenums command". Please, help!
[10:17] <Tonren> ChineseHacker: If you were really a hacker, you could DDoS yourself.
[10:17] <DarthVader> Jack_Sparrow, I'm not using a firewall on that Linux box AFAIK .... but it's the default ubuntu install ... so maybe there is one running?
[10:17] <gray__> lol Tonren
[10:17] <ChineseHacker> Tonren : Oh is it ? But I want someone else to ddos me :) It would be more fun
[10:17] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: You won;t know him (although you may know his work. Does "MSBlaster worm" sound familiar?)
[10:17] <gray__> digggg: good! umm... now how to paste files to IRC using irssi, not so sure =x
[10:17] <gray__> digggg: there was someone else here telling you to do that, right?
[10:18] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : Yeah. The matter is, can he kill my line ?
[10:18] <Warbo> What is the CLI mouse program? Has three letters......
[10:18] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: Don;t know. He took down windowsupdate.com among others
[10:18] <jolmash> How can I allow only LAN access to my linux machine and deny external access with Iptables?
[10:18] <digggg> gray__: yea... iiiears??
[10:19] <jolmash> I mean, allow access only from 192.168.0.xxx
[10:19] <gray__> iiiears, you there?  I use irssi as my client, but i'm still just learning :)
[10:19] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : I am just wondering why it takes him so long just to kill a small user like me.
[10:19] <DarthVader> Jack_Sparrow, also that device is directly connected to the Linux box adapter
[10:19] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: He's a busy man
[10:19] <Cntryboy> I'm trying to reinstall loki and unrealtournament, but in doing so I get this msg b4 the installer pops up.
[10:19] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : If I am the one who launches the DOS attack here. I would probably shut the server down for a few weeks at least.
[10:19] <Cntryboy> Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate loadable module in module_path: "libindustrial.so",
[10:19] <Cntryboy> Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
[10:19] <Cntryboy> what does that mean?
[10:19] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : Have you heard of botnet ?
[10:19] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: nope
[10:19] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : Come on. Busy is not a good excuse
[10:20] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : I assume you are a noob :(
[10:20] <Ohzie> lol botnet lol
[10:20] <gray__> ya Warbo... you noob proxy
[10:20] <gray__> :P
[10:20] <[vali] > jolmash, iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -m state --state ! RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j DROP
[10:20] <Cntryboy> Does anyone know? Help is greatly appreaciated
[10:20] <ChineseHacker> :(
[10:20] <digggg> help please
[10:20] <ChineseHacker> no one can ddos me
[10:20] <ChineseHacker> LOL
[10:20] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: No I am not. I am not experienced with hacking, but I am not "new" to it, since I am not even involved in it. That makes no sense
[10:21] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : Alright. :).
[10:21] <Jack_Sparrow> ChineseHacker:   What is with you and this denial of service attack..
[10:21] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : So is he ddosing me or what ?
[10:21] <Warbo> Damn it, all I did was try to recommend a password retrieving program to someone based on one word I understood in a message
[10:21] <digggg> how can i paste my xorg file to somewhere public through cli???? irssi? anyone?? please
[10:22] <Cntryboy> what does this mean Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate loadable module in module_path: "libindustrial.so",
[10:22] <Cntryboy> Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
[10:22] <Ohzie> ChineseHacker: Botnet or not, coming in here and calling people noobs is making you seem kind of abrasive. By kind of abrasive, I mean you're obviously kind of a douchebag.
[10:22] <jolmash> vali: that will deny all external traffic, I mean, outside the LAN?
[10:22] <Ohzie> If you're such a GLORIOUS un-noob
[10:22] <Warbo> digggg: You can probably use FTP to be most effective. Find an FTP site that you are allowed to upload to
[10:22] <Ohzie> Why the fuck are you here?
[10:22] <ChineseHacker> :)
[10:22] <Ohzie> Go in #debian and tell people RTFM all day.
[10:22] <Ohzie> Honestly.
[10:22] <Ohzie> =\
[10:22] <afflux> wech... schnen abend noch...
[10:22] <kalosaurusrex> digg:  pastebin.com
[10:22] <Ohzie> And that's my two cents for today.
[10:22] <ChineseHacker> I am looking for someone that can actually make me feel good. that is disconnect !!!
[10:22] <ChineseHacker> So simple !!
[10:23] <gray__> digggg: i'm looking into it.  no idea atm but i'll see
[10:23] <digggg> kalosaurusrex: through cli? how?
[10:23] <ChineseHacker> Warbo : Your help is appreciated. No worries mate.
[10:23] <digggg> thanks gray__
[10:23] <Warbo> Cntryboy: I think the second message (the locale one) may be OK, but the first one may need to have the "industrial" gtk1 engine installed
[10:23] <nate_02631> Hi all - just an XGL curiosity - I have it working fine... but it seems like some effects/features are missing, based on what I saw on a SUSE install - such as transparency, being able to drag window over to different desktop with mouse, window peelback, "unfolding" the cube, and my windows don' wobble when maximizing/restoring (though they do when dragging)...
[10:23] <nate_02631> Is this just specific to the Ubuntu implimentation? Or are there some shortcuts, or compiz directives I might be missing?
[10:23] <pinky_> So I have an MKV file that mkvinfo tells me has 1 video track (XviD), 2 audio tracks (Vorbis), and a subtitle track (SSA), but when I play the MKV file in MPlayer or Totem I can't switch between audio tracks and there is no subtitles.
[10:23] <ChineseHacker> =X
[10:23] <Cntryboy> warbo: I've installed it once before and never got an error msg like this, so I'm not sure whats going on
[10:23] <Cntryboy> can I apt-get install gtkl engine?
[10:24] <Warbo> nate_02631: Not all features are compiled into Ubuntu's packages
[10:24] <ChineseHacker> Sorry guys
[10:24] <ChineseHacker> You guys are the best
[10:24] <ChineseHacker> :)
[10:24] <nate_02631> Gotcha - thanks - Warbo...
[10:24] <ChineseHacker> Don't ddos me please. I am so lagged
[10:24] <pinky_> What video playing app can switch between multiple audio streams with an MKV video file?
[10:24] <Warbo> Cntryboy: "apt-cache search industrial" I will find it for you if you want
[10:24] <Cntryboy> Warbo: if you wouldn't mind.
[10:24] <Ohzie> nate_02631: Hey. I've realized that the ubuntu compiz package is a little limited. I played with it a small bit. I suggest you check out #ubuntu-xgl for a more detailed answer. Sorry. :[
[10:24] <Ohzie> They just know more about it there.
[10:24] <Cntryboy> warbo: I'm still wondering why I don't have it any longer I did 3 days ago
[10:25] <Cntryboy> warbo: I must have because I never seen that error b4
[10:25] <Warbo> Cntryboy: Oh, if you already have it then it must be screwed. Maybe use a different GTK1 theme
[10:25] <nate_02631> That Ohzie - I'm not much of an IM'er/chatter... but will check over there - less people, I suppose too! :)
[10:25] <Cntryboy> im not saying I do
[10:25] <ChineseHacker> =P
[10:25] <Cntryboy> I just dont remember that error b4
[10:25] <Ohzie> ChineseHacker: Wait, what?
[10:25] <Ohzie> I don't get off to spanking
[10:25] <Cntryboy> I typed in what you asked and got a shit list of stuff, what am I looking for again?
[10:25] <Ohzie> I've tried it, it's just not my thing.
[10:25] <gray__> digggg: you need to send this file to particular person, or post it where many ppl can see it?
[10:25] <ChineseHacker> Ohzie : nOob. Ddosme please
[10:25] <Warbo> Cntryboy: You can make sure with "sudo apt-get install gtk-engines-industrial"
[10:26] <Cntryboy> gtk-engines-industrial - Flat-looking GTK+ 1.x engine from Ximian
[10:26] <Cntryboy> it list that
[10:26] <ChineseHacker> Ohzie : Ddos me, would you ?
[10:26] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: When will you learn?
[10:26] <Warbo> ChineseHacker: It's spelt "n00b" :)
[10:26] <DarthVader> Jack_Sparrow, iptables doesn't report any rules been set
[10:26] <Ohzie> ChineseHacker: I'm on a like 512kilobit connection up, and I don't want to flood somebody on it.
[10:26] <Cntryboy> I installed a program for kde earlier on accident could that have messed me up?
[10:26] <Ohzie> You'd slow down torrents, and generally depress my ISP.
[10:26] <Ohzie> Well I would, for you.
[10:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry Darth, I got distracted...
[10:26] <Warbo> Anyway, I have a capped broadband connection
[10:26] <Ohzie> Which is the same thing.
[10:26] <Ohzie> But that's not the point
[10:27] <DarthVader> Jack_Sparrow, np
[10:27] <ChineseHacker> Don't give excuse
[10:27] <ChineseHacker> Lame excuse
[10:27] <ChineseHacker> Just do it !
[10:27] <ChineseHacker> Come on
[10:27] <digggg> gray__: i just need to post my xorg.conf file to somewhere public. so ppl here could have a look and help me diagnose my problem. so yea
[10:27] <Ohzie> The point is that I have a 512kilobit connection up.
[10:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Someone boot that moron..
[10:27] <ChineseHacker> Ohzie : you can still ddos with that :)
[10:27] <sysdoc> lol
[10:27] <Warbo> digggg: From CLI you would be best off with FTP. Or use vesa driver temporarily
[10:28] <ChineseHacker> Jack_Sparrow : ddos me and you already booted me from here if you succeed =P
[10:28] <Ohzie> digggg: HEY you!
[10:28] <Cntryboy> warbo: I did sudo apt-get install gtk-engines-industrial and its downloading it I guess, but apt-get cache list gtk-engines-industrial - Flat-looking GTK+ 1.x engine from Ximian

[10:28] <ChineseHacker> I can ddos
[10:28] <Warbo> Cntryboy: Your error said something about libindustrial.so, so I am assuming that the installer needs that engine installed
[10:28] <ChineseHacker> but Why can't you all ?
[10:29] <Ohzie> ChineseHacker: Because my colocation went down last month, because I'm poor.
[10:29] <Warbo> digggg: Replace "Driver          "nvidia"" with "Driver          "vesa""
[10:29] <Ohzie> And my friend isn't online.
[10:29] <Cntryboy> warbo: so in that apt-get cache command u had me do and I got a listing of stuff and found gtk-engines-industrial - Flat-looking GTK+ 1.x engine from Ximian WHAT does this tell me though
[10:29] <ChineseHacker> Ohzie : you need your friend to ddos me :(
[10:29] <ChineseHacker> Ohzie : Poor ? Oh , fair enough. but I suggest you to shut up before I get mad :(. I don't want your router to burn down :(
[10:29] <Warbo> Cntryboy: It tells you the name of the package to install (which is gtk-engines-industrial) to get the Industrial theme for GTK1, which the installer sounds like it needs
[10:29] <gray__> digggg: are you familiar with the lynx web browser?
[10:30] <Jack_Sparrow> That isnt our focus, most here are NOT into hacking.  we are here learning about a new OS.  If you think you are so good... Go to a channel on hacking and ask the same question
[10:30] <Ohzie> ChineseHacker: You, sir, are retarded.
[10:30] <Sjoerd-> hi, i'm trying to install awstast after i removed it earlier including the folder. I have tried apt-get install awstats and apt-get install awstats-common, the second command however gives out couldn't find package. The problem is that no awstats folder appears under /etc/. Any idea's?
[10:30] <digggg> gray__: not really. erm.. not at all actually.
[10:30] <Warbo> Ohzie: lol
[10:30] <Ohzie> digggg: sudo spkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:30] <Ohzie> Go!
[10:30] <Warbo> digggg: You can get in a limited X by using vesa
[10:30] <iiiears> !fixres
[10:30] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[10:30] <ChineseHacker> Ohzie : you are jackass :(
[10:30] <ChineseHacker> No one can actually ddos me
[10:30] <ChineseHacker> Sigh
[10:30] <digggg> Warbo: i'll try that
[10:31] <Warbo> Ohzie: "spcks-reconfigure" command not found :(
[10:31] <Cntryboy> warbo: thanks, I got that industrial downloaded and when I went back to install unreal with loki it now says this(((    Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
[10:31] <Ohzie> Warbo: I just woke up
[10:31] <Awesome-o2000> well I got my laptop - now i have to wait for a power adapter - then im ubuntu bound
[10:31] <Ohzie> Warbo and digggg dpkg-reconfigure is what I meant.
[10:31] <ChineseHacker> I would be happy if out of 804 asses here, I can find one that can actually packet my IP.
[10:31] <iiiears> "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:31] <Awesome-o2000> can't wait to see how slowly a p266mmx runs ubuntu
[10:31] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> omg chinese u nub
[10:31] <Ohzie> ChineseHacker: one that WILL.
[10:31] <Ohzie> There is a distinct difference.

[10:33] <joepaper> anyone able to get 1400x1050 resolution on a dell c610?
[10:33] <Cntryboy> warbo: did ya see my last question bro? I think thats the only thing left in error wise.
[10:33] <Nickel> Does anyone here have some Samba kung-fu?
[10:33] <Warbo> Well AA attempted to port X to CLI.....
[10:33] <krazykit> wait, a 266 mhz machine?  if you have enough ram, x is usable
[10:33] <digggg> Warbo: got a gui now. i'll pastebin in a sec
[10:33] <Awesome-o2000> NoUse, thank you! I didnt know such a thing existed - thats perfect - im not planning on using a gui anyhow
[10:33] <Jack_Sparrow> I have a couple of Dell 610's I dont know what I can get n them
[10:34] <NoUse> Awesome-o2000 ah ok
[10:34] <Awesome-o2000> Id like to have one just in case but i dont plan on using the gui
[10:34] <ddoser> Cntryboy : you want to learn how to hack ?
[10:34] <Awesome-o2000> xubuntu sounds perfect
[10:34] <iiiears> Warbo - icewm is maybe somethig to try. ubuntulite,or possibly damn small linux
[10:34] <__mikem> Warbo, X is useable with 256 mhz, but its agonizingly slow
[10:34] <__mikem> what are you doing with a computer that slow anyway
[10:34] <Awesome-o2000> ddoser, the air here is horrid, ive been hacking out all sorts of horrible stuff the past few days
[10:34] <Nickel> joepaper: have you tried 915resolution?
[10:34] <Cntryboy> ddoser: I'm willing to learn anything, but i'm not going to go into a channel and boot ppl out for no reason though
[10:35] <Warbo> __mikem: trying to run Ubuntu :)
[10:35] <krazykit> __mikem: i found 256 to be more than fine for xorg.  anything less than 128mb would be unusable, imo
[10:35] <joepaper> Nickel: no, i haven't. been playing around with different xorg drivers and modelines.
[10:35] <EarlGrey> Hello!
[10:35] <Jack_Sparrow> warbo, I have a few 366 p4's sitting waiting for the trash..
[10:35] <ddoser> Cntryboy : Okay.
[10:35] <ddoser> Awesome-o2000 : Please ddos me then.
[10:35] <ddoser> Show me something
[10:35] <Warbo> Jack_Sparrow: 366MHz Pentium 4s?
[10:35] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[10:35] <ddoser> Cntryboy : Would you kiss Warbo's ass, before I teach you anything ?
[10:36] <Nickel> joepaper:  It's a utility for getting the right aspect ration on WXGA displays that use the intel i810 driver and similar.
[10:36] <krazykit> Jack_Sparrow: don't pitch them, install ubuntu and sell them as internet machines
[10:36] <EarlGrey> I'm about to install the latest release of Ubuntu (DVD version) on an older Fujitsu Siemens from around 1998. Will ubuntu work fine on this machine, even with the graphics on?
[10:36] <Cntryboy> ddoser: sorry dude I don't kiss ass, and warbo is actually a nice dude.
[10:36] <Jack_Sparrow> I have enough boxes around...
[10:36] <joepaper> Nickel: ok, the c610 uses an ATI Radeon 9000 M6 (should have mentioned that). do you know if there's a similar package for ati cards?
[10:36] <Warbo> Yay, I have a fan
[10:36] <Jack_Sparrow> I throw away anything under 500 mhz
[10:36] <DarthVader> Jack_Sparrow, so any suggestion(s)?
[10:37] <softwork> program no emulacion operative systems in linux?
[10:37] <ddoser> So would anyone ddos me ?
[10:37] <krazykit> Jack_Sparrow: well, i hope you take them to a recycling center or something.  there's some nasty toxins in computers
[10:37] <Warbo> softwork: You want an emulator?
[10:37] <ddoser> I have been asking since half an hour ago !
[10:37] <softwork> i need
[10:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Darth, I cant think of anything
[10:37] <Warbo> softwork: What system do you want to emulate?
[10:37] <softwork> to emulate winxp in linux
[10:37] <Nickel> Joepaper:  Lemme check and see whether it might work.  It does some crazy daemon bios-emulation voodoo to get X to accept graphics modes it otherwise wouldn't.
[10:37] <NoUse> ddoser lets stay on topic ok? #ubuntu-offtopic for offtopic stuff
[10:37] <softwork> xp
[10:37] <Warbo> !vmware
[10:37] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingVMWare
[10:37] <DarthVader> Jack_Sparrow, ok, thanks anyway
[10:37] <softwork> thx
[10:37] <Cntryboy> does anyone know what this command means? Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
[10:37] <Awesome-o2000> ddoser, I dont know or want to know dow to ddos someone. You do realize that's a federal charge, right?
[10:37] <baby> some romanian support
[10:38] <Jack_Sparrow> krazykit: Yes, I do... Recy. center is a block away..
[10:38] <digggg> Warbo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16339 please have a look. remember though vesa should be nvidia. i changed it to get into a gui
[10:38] <Sjoerd-> How do I get back the default installation of apache? The folder with files under /etc/ doesn't return after removing it for a reinstallation :)
[10:38] <Sjoerd-> apache = awstats ..
[10:38] <krazykit> Jack_Sparrow: ah, that's good then :-)
[10:38] <Dial_tone> okay, I just read the debian apt-get howto and nowhere did it say how to list all installed pkgs? what is the command

[10:38] <__mikem> I recomend VMWare

[10:39] <carlf1> does rescue mode load X?
[10:39] <softwork> yes
[10:39] <softwork> thx
[10:39] <NoUse> carlf1 no
[10:39] <Dial_tone> NoUse, you're a gentleman and a scholar
[10:39] <carlf1> if I add 1 to the kernel line, will that do it?
[10:39] <duck-> if I customize the live-CD, does it then install whatever extra packages I have installed when it runs the installer on it?
[10:39] <iiiears> Awesome-o2000: I agree - WINE doesn't handle DirectX as well or CD protections at all.
[10:39] <RadiantFire> no
[10:39] <RadiantFire> rescue shouldnt load x
[10:39] <RadiantFire> you should be left at a root terminal
[10:40] <duck-> anyone?
[10:40] <carlf1> got it

[10:45] <duck-> SkyHack, having trouble kicking me?  or what?
[10:45] <digggg> Warbo: i am pretty sure. 99% positive. i've installed it several times...
[10:45] <njan> SkyHack, have you read the ubuntu code of conduct?
[10:45] <SkyHack> I don't have to read any shit.
[10:45] <Cntryboy> okay back
[10:45] <Warbo> digggg: That's what I'm thinking. Installing it one way (say, the packages) won;t work if there are traces of the other way left
[10:45] <njan> SkyHack, I'm not at all surprised that no-one's even tried to do anything to you. For starters, it would be silly.. but further to that, it's totally anti the whole ubuntu spirit.
[10:45] <SkyHack> What I know is I need someone to ddos me
[10:45] <Cntryboy> so does anyone know what this error means? Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library

[10:47] <Marbo[a] > Why banned me?
[10:47] <HedgeMage> duck-: np
[10:47] <DBO> HedgeMage, skyhack was being abusive is all
[10:47] <Cntryboy> amaranth: I don't even know what edgy is hehe, care to explain what it is?
[10:47] <njan> Amaranth, *!*@*.67.64.202.50
[10:47] <Warbo> Cntryboy: Dapper+1
[10:47] <Amaranth> I know.
[10:47] <njan> actually, -*. :)
[10:47] <Amaranth> Marbo[a] : Ban evasion...
[10:47] <Marbo[a] > Yeah ban me
[10:47] <iiiears> "Edgy Eft" - The next release
[10:47] <duck-> it's funny, he was actin all tough, I'm behind two firewalls and NATd twice
[10:47] <Marbo[a] > but can't ddos me :(
[10:47] <Marbo[a] > Sigh
[10:47] <duck-> haha
[10:47] <Cntryboy> warbo: I use dapper yes but what is dapper+1
[10:47] <Hawkwind> I'm in the middle of an install of Dapper and I get to the point where it's trying to install the desktop packages.  In the alt-f4 screen it's saying it can't resolve us.archive.ubuntu.com and many other sites but nothing more is happening.  How can I get past this so I can finish the install using this alternate CD ?
[10:48] <Cntryboy> is that easyubuntu?
[10:48] <Warbo> Cntryboy: Dapper+1 (the next Ubuntu) is Edgy Eft
[10:48] <Amaranth> Marbo[a] : Are you going to behave?
[10:48] <Marbo[a] > Amaranth : What I did wrong?
[10:48] <Marbo[a] > I am just looking for someone to ddos me. :(
[10:48] <duck-> hawkaloogie_, I would check out your /etc/resolv.conf
[10:48] <Amaranth> Marbo[a] : Swearing, talking about hacking, DDOS, etc.
[10:48] <Cntryboy> so i'm using dapper edgy then?
[10:48] <Marbo[a] > No one is giving me chance to disconnect
[10:48] <Cntryboy> all I know is I was using dapper
 duck- : Will you please shut up or I am afraid you will disconnect in a minute :(
[10:49] <Amaranth> Marbo[a] : If it's not Ubuntu related please take it somewhere else.
[10:49] <Cntryboy> lol im so lost
[10:49] <NextJCGen> hay guys i'm a hacker who wants to hack with me
[10:49] <Marbo[a] > Amaranth : Okay sure
[10:49] <Marbo[a] > :(
[10:49] <NoUse> Cntryboy dapper drake, there is no dapper edgy
[10:49] <Warbo> Cntryboy: People were just saying don;t use Edgy, since it is nowhere near ready for any kind of use
[10:49] <digggg> Warbo: any other thing that i could try?
[10:49] <Cntryboy> oh I'm not
[10:49] <Cjattwood> what exactly is an "Eft" anyway?
[10:49] <Cntryboy> but amaranth said I was using edgy but im not
[10:49] <duck-> Cjattwood, i'm curious too
[10:49] <RadiantFire> Cjattwood: a juvenille newt
[10:49] <Warbo> Cjattwood: A kind of antelope I think
[10:49] <iiiears> Is an Eft a newt?
[10:49] <Warbo> Oh
[10:49] <Cjattwood> ah right
[10:49] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> i hacked my wood this morning , who wants to hack my wood?
[10:49] <krazykit> an eft is a newt
[10:50] <krazykit> a young newt.
[10:50] <digggg> anyone else: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16339 ? stucked at nvidia splash screen
[10:50] <Amaranth> n0ctuRnaL-fieNd: No.
[10:50] <RadiantFire> weee!
[10:50] <Hawkwind> Anyone have any ideas on my issue so I can please finish the Ubuntu install ?????
[10:50] <Cntryboy> brb
[10:50] <njan> /join #gentoo
[10:50] <Amaranth> RadiantFire: that driver is already in dapper
[10:50] <njan> argh
[10:50] <njan> 0:)
[10:50] <njan> yay, got it right that time. Too much coffee. Or not enough. 0:)
[10:51] <Centaur5> Amaranth: So if the Dapper bcm43xx driver doesn't work then the driver in the new kernel won't either?
[10:51] <Warbo> Beagle still isn't giving me results
[10:51] <fiyawerx> man oh man, if anyone was thinking about using nx for a remote control software, its _awesome_ just got it working
[10:51] <Amaranth> Centaur5: probably not
[10:51] <Centaur5> Amaranth: Hmm...terrible news.
[10:51] <Amaranth> Centaur5: It could though, the one in dapper is slightly old.
[10:51] <Hawkwind> I'm in the middle of an install of Dapper and I get to the point where it's trying to install the desktop packages.  In the alt-f4 screen it's saying it can't resolve us.archive.ubuntu.com and many other sites but nothing more is happening.  How can I get past this so I can finish the install using this alternate CD ?
[10:51] <RadiantFire> Amaranth: are you certain?
[10:51] <Tonren> fiyawerx: What's nx?
[10:51] <Jack_Sparrow> fiyawerx:  what is nx
[10:52] <Tonren> Hawkwind: Are you sure the computer has a functioning internet connection?
[10:52] <Amaranth> RadiantFire: I believe the one in dapper is a 3 month old version of the one in 2.6.17
[10:52] <RadiantFire> lol, I'm on a laptop rightn ow
[10:52] <RadiantFire> time to see if it works...
[10:52] <RadiantFire> i shall return presently
[10:52] <Hawkwind> Tonren: I really don't know.  I'm assuming it doesn't though it apparently set it up during the install
[10:52] <Centaur5> Amaranth: So could you update the one in Dapper with the new one?
[10:52] <Tonren> Hawkwind: Are you installing using a Live CD?
[10:52] <Hawkwind> Tonren: No, the alternate CD
[10:52] <Amaranth> Centaur5: Not likely, I believe it had to be backported manually.
[10:53] <fiyawerx> nomachine.com's remote control software
[10:53] <Hawkwind> Tonren: Why it's trying to access the net I have no idea
[10:53] <Tonren> Hawkwind: Is there a particular reason you're not using the Live CD?  It makes things much easier.
[10:53] <Amaranth> Centaur5: So unless you enjoy kernel hacking... :)
[10:53] <digggg> no luck for me today?. erg.. it's not the first time. i dun have luck. ever. =(
[10:53] <Warbo> ANyone help me with Beagle? I have just tried adding user_xattr to fstab, left beagled to index, but still aren;t getting any meaningful results (only webpages from lyric websites from Amarok)
[10:53] <Amaranth> digggg: What's up?
[10:53] <helfrez> us.archive is probably out again, it went out yesterday and everyone had to switch to just archive.
[10:53] <antarus> Amaranth: you ban someone recently? :)
[10:53] <fiyawerx> Tonren: Jack_Sparrow: there was a "freenx" apt package but i had such a hard time installing it, nomachine released a free server now with 2 connection limit free forever, and i got it installed with 3 commands
[10:53] <Centaur5> Amaranth: I wish I knew how...I successfully put 2.6.16 on two computers with Dapper but my bro's laptop with broadcom didn't boot with it.  :(
[10:53] <Amaranth> antarus: Probably.
[10:53] <Hawkwind> Tonren: Because I downloaded the alternate CD.  I have no other box to download it too and burn it now
[10:54] <fiyawerx> so was very easy, and even opening up something like fark.com in firefox, i can drag around the window with just about zero lag, images and all
[10:54] <Amaranth> antarus: Oh, that. :P
[10:54] <ubuntu-expert> fiyawerx : if it isn't already running (ps aux | grep proftp) you can run /etc/init.d/proftpd start
[10:54] <Tonren> Hawkwind: What about the one you're on?  Have you already formatted that box's previous OS?
[10:54] <pinky_> I have a multi-part RAR file (rar, r00, r01, r02, etc.) which file-roller and ark both cannot tell spans multiple files
[10:54] <Hawkwind> Tonren: This box doesn't have a burner
[10:54] <pinky_> What program will read through all the parts?
[10:54] <Amaranth> pinky_: file-roller works for me with those
[10:54] <fiyawerx> ubuntu-expert: wrong person i think
[10:54] <NoUse> pinky_ you running dapper or breezy?
[10:55] <Hawkwind> Tonren: I did the install and had issues getting into KDE due to old configs from Mandriva in my ~/  So I redid the install and formatted /home and now I've been at this same point 3 times
[10:55] <Amaranth> pinky_: Just try to extract using the .rar file, it usually gets it.
[10:55] <digggg> Amaranth: if u notice my posts above.. numerous ppl tried to help me already.. but no success. basically i just installed nvidia drivers on my ubuntu box and when i boot now i got stucked at the nvidia splash screen. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16339  <--- my xorg.conf file.
[10:55] <Amaranth> pinky_: If it doesn't I doubt anything will, file-roller just calls unrar
[10:55] <Tonren> Hawkwind: Oh, are you doing kubuntu?
[10:55] <ubuntu-expert> pinky_ : change into /etc and run find "*proftp*". edit that file ...
[10:56] <pinky_> file-roller is at 2.14.2
[10:56] <Amaranth> digggg: Please pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[10:56] <Hawkwind> Tonren: Nevermind, it seemed to just start doing something :)
[10:56] <Tonren> Hawkwind: Aah, okay.  Good luck.  Hehehe.  Come back if you need more help; maybe I'll actually be able to help you then.
[10:56] <ubuntu-expert> fiyawerx : put it in package.mask without the ~arch
[10:57] <Hawkwind> Tonren: Heh thanks.  Seems the system is rebooting now in fact :)
[10:57] <NoUse> pinky_ I take it you've installed the unrar package
[10:57] <pinky_> NoUse: yeah, heh
[10:57] <RadiantFire> sigh,that went badly...
[10:57] <Tonren> Hawkwind: Great.  Look at it this way: This is the equivalent of waiting on hold at Microsoft for them to authorize your XP installation.
[10:57] <pinky_> It can read the files individually and extract them fine
[10:57] <RadiantFire> bcm432xx from the current version doesn't like my wireless
[10:57] <Hawkwind> Tonren: LOL so true
[10:57] <pinky_> But not figure out that opening a .rar to open the .r00 and then .r01, etc.
[10:57] <digggg> Amaranth: command not found. am i missing anything?
[10:57] <Hawkwind> Tonren: And we all know we've all done that a time or 15
[10:58] <pinky_> ubuntu-expert: proftp?  What does that have to do with RARs at all?
[10:58] <Tonren> Hawkwind: Abso-freakin'-lutely.
[10:58] <Amaranth> digggg: no, /var/log/Xorg.0.log is a file
[10:58] <Amaranth> digggg: pastebin the contents of that file
[10:58] <NoUse> pinky_ ark does that for me automatically
[10:58] <pinky_> Wait a minute...
[10:59] <digggg> Amaranth: aha.. found it. give me a sec pls
[10:59] <Jowi> pinky_: you're using the package unrar-nonfree?
[10:59] <Tonren> Hey, has anyone installed a 32bit chroot on their 64bit build?
[11:00] <farous> Tonren: the wiki has a page on that
[11:00] <pinky_> Whoever packaged this is dumb, they have .rar, .r00, .r01, etc all the way to .r47, but there are 3 separate files in the whole thing
[11:00] <Tonren> farous: It does?!  I'll be damned!
[11:00] <farous> Tonren: let me give yo the link
[11:00] <digggg> Amaranth: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16340 thank you
[11:00] <pinky_> So I just have to open up three different .r?? files that belong to each of the 3 files
[11:00] <pinky_> weird
[11:00] <ubuntu-expert> sorry dc
[11:00] <ubuntu-expert> my bad
[11:01] <Sjoerd-> anyone willing to send me the folder /etc/awstats/ that comes with default installation of the package?
[11:01] <farous> Tonren: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot
[11:01] <Jowi> pinky_: unrar x filename.rar (using the unrar-nonfree package) will unpack all the files. I have not tried the unrar-free one
[11:01] <thompa> i cant get 1440x900,
[11:01] <Tonren> farous: Thanks, you're a rockstar
[11:01] <pinky_> Jowi: Thanks, but I figured it out
[11:01] <farous> a really fat one i might add ;)
[11:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Pinky file size limitations and broken downloads can result in segments of an rar being in different archives
[11:02] <pinky_> There was no problem on my end, just a weird way of packing these files
[11:02] <thompa> system settings has in montior now 1440x900, but it does not look right
[11:02] <Jowi> pinky_: ah, then it's all good :)
[11:02] <AlienX> should I install sun-java5-bin or sun-java5-jre? are they the same package?
[11:02] <Locke> when i scroll up and down in nautilus and gaim it stops updating sometimes and i have to mouseover to see the files/users
[11:02] <farous> AlienX: do you need sun java or just he firefox plugin
[11:02] <thompa> how can i configure monitor?
[11:02] <Locke> and i'm not running xgl/compiz
[11:03] <pinky_> Jack_Sparrow: It was a good download, it's just the way whoever made them packed it... there are 3 separate files spread out across 49 RAR parts, each of the 3 files having a separate block of files dedicatied to it
[11:03] <AlienX> farous, both. Star office needs java
[11:03] <Ohzie> digggg: hey
[11:03] <Jowi> thompa: what kind of monitor? LCD or CRT?
[11:03] <pinky_> So I had to open *.r33 because that's where the third file started
[11:03] <thompa> lcd westinghouse 1440x900, driving me nuts
[11:03] <digggg> Ohzie: yes?
[11:03] <farous> AlienX: staroffice use the free java packaged. but basically you nee the jre and the plugin packages. they will install all other necessary packages
[11:03] <Ohzie> digggg: Are you in a console now?
[11:03] <thompa> i have it plugged in external to laptop
[11:04] <Ohzie> thompa: HEY I'VE DONE THIS AND CAN HELP YOU.
[11:04] <Ohzie> In just a second
[11:04] <ELITE_N00B> GAY!
[11:04] <AlienX> farous, sweet. And if I have the blackdown (sp?) java installed already, do i need to remove it?
[11:04] <thompa> which of these modelines do i need to cahnge in xorg.conf, or is there another way
[11:04] <digggg> Ohzie: what do u mean? i am chatting through my windows box right now with my ubuntu laptop beside
[11:04] <ubuntu-expert> thompa : or diff each file (fx using kompare to diff the dirs) and manually add the things you want
[11:04] <aleka> can anyone help me with media players and sound
[11:04] <farous> AlienX: nope. if you need sun java just use sudo update-alternatives --config java
[11:04] <thompa> Ohzie: great
[11:05] <Jowi> thompa: try to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and set the the monitor by size. if that doesn't do it, try the more advanced option. or wait to see if Ohzie has a better suggestion (i don't own a widescreen monitor myself)
[11:05] <Ohzie> digggg: Can you get to a terminal on the machine with a broken monitor.
[11:05] <AlienX> farous, awesome, cheers
[11:05] <farous> :)
[11:05] <ELITE_N00B> PENIS!!
[11:05] <Ohzie> Not broken monitor
[11:05] <Ohzie> Broken x config
[11:05] <ubuntu-expert> aleka : Sure. /etc/rc.conf XDM="
[11:05] <thompa> ok
[11:05] <Ohzie> Don't call me out for saying broken monitor, I'm tired.
[11:05] <mnrdknn> /join #Kernel
[11:05] <Ohzie> And just woke up.
[11:05] <mnrdknn> ops
[11:05] <Afief> Has dapper become slower for anybody over the last few weeks? it seems that everything graphic related became much slower for me
[11:06] <thompa> so i will try reconfigure xorg.conf first
[11:06] <ubuntu-expert> Afief : Depends on your sound card. If its stable, use the kernel provided ALSA. If its very new, alsa-drivers
[11:06] <BlueEagle> ohzie: You're the only one calling you on it tbh. :)
[11:06] <ELITE_N00B> COCK!
[11:06] <aleka> my problem is, my media players have started skipping all mp3 files and going through my entire playlist since upgrading to dapper
[11:06] <BlueEagle> elite_n00b: Good nitght.
[11:06] <Jowi> yes ELITE_N00B it is an adult word (see /msg ubotu language)
[11:06] <Dial_tone> Afief, fastest os i've ever had so far
[11:06] <Ohzie> BlueEagle: What does tbh mean?
[11:06] <aleka> Amarock used to work fine, but now all of them wouldn't play my media files
[11:06] <Warbo> Dial_tone: Never tried AROS then?
[11:06] <digggg> Ohzie: yes i suppose. i changed the "nvidia" to "vesa" i've got a gui now
[11:06] <ELITE_N00B> what?!
[11:06] <Warbo> Dial_tone: Mind you, it;s useless at the moment. But it;s fast at being useless
[11:07] <mnrdknn> a lot of people is having sound problems since they upgrade to dapper... i'm one of those..
[11:07] <ikken> my scroll wheel is not working on my mouse - I've tried searching on Google but none of the articles have helped - any ideas? I'm using a Microsoft USB / PS/2 optical mouse.
[11:07] <BlueEagle> ohzie: tbh = To Be Honest, iirc = If I Remember Correctly, afaik = As Far As I Know. (Common IRC acronyms)
[11:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Hey everyone... the yellow chineese turd came back...
[11:07] <ubuntu-expert> ikken : Type /etc/rc.d/init.d/netplugd
[11:07] <Afief> Ubuntu-expert: how do i do that? and what's the relation between sound and graphic?
[11:07] <KenSentMe> How can i find out what network address i should use to a okidata printer on my network?
[11:07] <Ohzie> digggg: I suggest you run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[11:07] <Afief> Dial_tone: two weeks ago i would have agreed, now i have problems and won't agree until i solve them:)
[11:07] <Ohzie> digggg: Pick the driver "nv"
[11:07] <ubuntu-expert> Afief : it is rc-update add netplugd runlevelname_here
[11:07] <aleka> any helper free?
[11:07] <Ohzie> Carefully read over the modules listed.
[11:08] <Sjoerd-> lilo got someone that wants a network ban here: ELITE_N00B
[11:08] <KenSentMe> So should i use ipp, lpd, or socket?
[11:08] <ikken> ubuntu-expert: no such file or directory
[11:08] <Ohzie> You won't have 3d acceleration, but you'll be able to do things like watch movies.
[11:08] <Graig> is it possible to change the icon used in the notification area?
[11:08] <Ohzie> That said, the 3d acceleration with the ubuntu nvidia-glx driver is kind of broken anyways.
[11:08] <ubuntu-expert> ikken : /etc/rc.d/init.d/netplugd
[11:09] <ikken> ubuntu-expert: still not finding it
[11:09] <Afief> ubuntu-expert: i don't get you, rc-update isn't a command, and i really can't figure out what you meant:S
[11:09] <linux_user400354> how can i get more screensavers in ubuntu 6.06?
[11:09] <digggg> Ohzie: i've got the latest 8762 driver though
[11:09] <Afief> ununtu-expert: you mean i should install netplugd?
[11:09] <Graig> is there any way i can have gaim not open a new program if there is already one open?
[11:10] <ubuntu-expert> Afief : Yes.
[11:10] <digggg> Ohzie: i tried changing it to nv before. didn't work
[11:10] <Ohzie> digggg: That's okay, 3d accelerated drivers generally suck with windows.
[11:10] <Ohzie> digggg: Don't just change to nv
[11:10] <ubuntu-expert> ikken : hang on
[11:10] <Ohzie> You actually have to go out and reconfigure it.
[11:10] <Ohzie> Don't ask me why
[11:10] <Ohzie> It just works.
[11:10] <ELITE_N00B> hey wait a second thats my swedish penis enlarger!
[11:10] <ubuntu-expert> ikken :  Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide to be found at http://www.tldp.org/guides.html#abs . It is also packaged, 'apt-get install abs-guide'.
[11:10] <Jack_Sparrow> ELITE_N00B:  SOunds to us like you need it..
[11:10] <ELITE_N00B> hee hee hee penis enlarger.....
[11:11] <NoUse> !ops
[11:11] <ubotu> Help! lilo, hedgemage, lamont, Keybuk, jdub, Amaranth, tritium, ajmitch, crimsun, ogra, CarlK, Seveas, Burgundavia, apokryphos, thoreauputic, nalioth, Madpilot, ompaul, rob, Hobbsee or gnomefreak!
[11:11] <digggg> Ohzie: ok but how? and by saying it works do u mean i get accelerated graphics?
[11:11] <ELITE_N00B> ohh no i dont i'm a woman
[11:11] <nalioth> NoUse: yes?
[11:11] <Ohzie> digggg: No. I mean it works.
[11:11] <Jack_Sparrow> ELITE_N00B: Try it on your BRAIN...
[11:11] <Ohzie> The nv driver is an open source driver by xorg that was designed for nvidia cards
[11:11] <NoUse> nalioth ELITE_N00B is asking for a network ban I think
[11:11] <yggdrasil> how can i delte a user
[11:11] <ELITE_N00B> hmmm it wont work on me brain
[11:11] <Afief> ubuntu-expert: there is no package called netplugd in the repositories
[11:11] <Ohzie> It works, it works NICELY for 2d, but it is not accelerated.
[11:11] <yggdrasil> from console
[11:12] <ikken> ubuntu-expert: how is this going to help me?
[11:12] <ubuntu-expert> ikken : wait
[11:12] <digggg> Ohzie: oh well.. but i desperately want accelerated 3d.
[11:12] <HedgeMage> NoUse: it's up to chanops whether he gets banned or gagged... it's not klineable as far as I can see
[11:12] <Ohzie> digggg: I hate to say this
[11:12] <ubuntu-expert> ikken : zgrep CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL /proc/config.gz
[11:12] <HedgeMage> OTOH...
[11:12] <Ohzie> digggg: But if you desperately want it, and you want it to work, switch to the newest Fedora Core.
[11:12] <Gullstad> I have removed my menuline ontop of every window, how do i get it back?
[11:13] <Dial_tone> grr, how i can map the delete key to backspace erase in screen? i get tired of control H
[11:13] <ikken> ubuntu-expert: that doesn't work either: no such file or directory
[11:13] <zoor_> what could be the problem when I cannot start my laptop with the power cord in the laptop? If I remove the power cord all is well... ?? Dont understand anything...
[11:13] <digggg> Ohzie: does that mean that i would have to leave ubuntu? i am so new to linux i dont want to switch much
[11:13] <ubuntu-expert> ikken : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot
[11:13] <Locke> so i'm using the nvidia glx drivers and i have good 3d accel but i cant watch a movie any bigger than 1x effectively
[11:13] <Afief> ubuntu-expert: the package you told me about isn't in the repositories
[11:13] <Ohzie> digggg: Uh yeah.
[11:13] <Locke> and when i play a movie, i'm pretty much locked from controlling it
[11:13] <yggdrasil> im having some wierd issues with sudo
[11:14] <Ohzie> Locke: Yeah
[11:14] <ubuntu-expert> Afief : staroffice use the free java packaged. but basically you nee the jre and the plugin packages. they will install all other necessary packages
[11:14] <Jowi> ikken: did you say that you only wanted your scrollwheel to work?
[11:14] <Locke> it has to play through and stop before i can do anything except move the window
[11:14] <Ohzie> The ubuntu nvidia-glx driver has issues.
[11:14] <Ohzie> Serious issues.
[11:14] <Locke> obviously
[11:14] <Dial_tone> as does the ati binary driver
[11:14] <Bazzi> all those binary graphics drivers have their linux issues
[11:14] <DarthVader> how can one knows if iptables is running on an Ubuntu linux (standard install)?
[11:14] <digggg> Ohzie: uh no.. Amaranth i hope, is looking through my xorg.0.log file.. see if he can figure what's wrong
[11:15] <Afief> ubuntu-expert: what?:S my problem is that my 2d graphics are quite slow, while my 3d is great. what has java got to do with that?!
[11:15] <ikken> Jowi: yeah, and the other two buttons on the mouse - but that's all I need fixed - the center button and the two other buttons are working, but scrolling does nothing - I've tried messing with xorg.conf, and nothing is working
[11:15] <farous> is star office for free now or do people mean openoffice !
[11:15] <Locke> i like 3d accel and like to use xgl/compiz sometimes, but i'd like to be able to see the files in nautilus without mouseovering each one and possibly watch videos larger than 320x240 in a window
[11:15] <DarthVader> I can't see any daemon running ...
[11:15] <Ohzie> digggg: Wait, did you just say "uh no" to me stating a known issue?
[11:15] <ubuntu-expert> Locke : data will be sorted randomly... or more correctly: there won't be a separate sorted list with info on how to find your data
[11:15] <linux_user400354> digggg, you can use the commercial nvidia driver on ubuntu
[11:15] <scotticus> can someone help me with soundcard setup?
[11:15] <ubuntu-expert> scotticus : http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=2980
[11:15] <Jowi> ikken: so you have a mouse with more than 3 buttons (left + middle + right) + scrollwheel? and you say that middle click work?
[11:15] <Ohzie> digggg: You're new, and I understand that, but if I'm trying to help you, and I inform you of a KNOWN ISSUE, please for the love of god and all that is holy, do not respond by saying "uh no"
[11:16] <digggg> Ohzie: lol. no. hell no. dun get me wrong. really. even i thought it's crap. it simply doesnt work for me
[11:16] <ikken> Jowi: the mouse was working 10 minutes ago, and just stopped suddenly - the only thing I've done since then is put the computer in suspend mode, but I've done that plenty of times before. Other than that, all I've done is listened to music and done some web programming
[11:16] <TheCross> hello. can anybody help me with an overheating problem?
[11:16] <ikken> Jowi: yes, middle click is working, left and right are working, scrolling is not
[11:16] <Jack_Sparrow> TheCross: sure
[11:16] <Jowi> ikken: and restarting xorg does not help you?
[11:16] <Jack_Sparrow> whats up
[11:16] <ubuntu-expert> TheCross : emerge gentoolkit, then do equery f netplug
[11:16] <digggg> Ohzie: i said uh no in response to your uh yeah for leaving ubuntu. ;-)
[11:16] <scotticus> ubuntu-expert: what doess that have to do with my sound card?
[11:16] <Ohzie> Oh okay.
[11:16] <digggg> =)
[11:16] <billybennett> umm I just heard dialtone for no reason
[11:16] <farous> ubuntu-expert: this is not gentoo :)
[11:17] <ikken> Jowi: hmm, no, it hasn't yet - I'll try one more time
[11:17] <ubuntu-expert> scotticus : it's writable, but I don't know if it's simple to do easily
[11:17] <Jowi> ikken: "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"
[11:17] <agorf> hello. anyone knows from which package is XML::LibXML is covered?
[11:17] <Ohzie> digggg: Well, yeah, when it comes down to it...I hate Fedora Core. It uses RPM! But their drivers work. Really nicely. Every single time.
[11:17] <agorf> -is
[11:17] <scotticus> is ubuntu-expert a bot?
[11:17] <scotticus> heh
[11:17] <ubuntu-expert> scotticus : it's technically possible to write to ntfs...  but windows will essentially chkdsk it every time you boot after writing from linux
[11:17] <Sjoerd-> Please help, I have removed awstats including the folder under /etc/, now when I apt-get install awstats there does not appear a new /etc/awstats/ which really sucks :)
[11:17] <Ohzie> Anyways, yeah
[11:17] <RadiantFire> agorf: try libxml++
[11:17] <agorf> RadiantFire, thanks
[11:18] <yggdrasil> ok guys i have to delete my home directory how do i make gnome build up a fresh one ?
[11:18] <jrib> yggdrasil: login
[11:18] <Afief> does anybody else have a problem with his 2d graphic being VERY slow while 3d graphics are normal?
[11:18] <ubuntu-expert> Sjoerd- : http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=2980
[11:18] <yggdrasil> tellse me cant find my home directory and it will log me in using the root...
[11:18] <ubuntu-expert> yggdrasil : just emerge netscape-flash
[11:18] <scotticus> so...help with my sound card...anyone?  i'm sure i don't have something configured right from the stock installation.
[11:18] <jrib> yggdrasil: mkdir /home/username
[11:18] <ubuntu-expert> scotticus : /etc/netplug/netplugd.conf
[11:18] <linux_user400354> yggdrasil, /usr/sbin/adduser
[11:19] <farous> Afief: i had a ptoblem like that. reinstalling totem solved it somehow do not know why
[11:19] <Sjoerd-> ubuntu-expert: thank's a lot, but how is it related to my problem?
[11:19] <charle97> scotticus: what's wrong with your sound|
[11:19] <jrib> yggdrasil: then give ownership to your user
[11:19] <yggdrasil> ok hang on
[11:19] <scotticus> charle97: lol, it doesn't work!  more specifically its spewing errors into my terminals.
[11:19] <scotticus> well alsa is to be specific.
[11:19] <RadiantFire> farous:  it is not
[11:19] <ubuntu-expert> Sjoerd- : remove the non-portage managed plugin and try again
[11:19] <yggdrasil> linux_user i wouldnt midn jsut deleteing the dam user
[11:20] <Dragoonz> what is the best way to connect to AD with samba? winbind or ldap?
[11:20] <jrib> ubuntu-expert: can you stop that?
[11:20] <Locke> Afief, i am having thta problem
[11:20] <Seveas> yes he can
[11:20] <Sjoerd-> ubuntu-expert: How do i remove the non-portage managed plugin and try again?
[11:20] <farous> thanx Seveas
[11:20] <RadiantFire> uh, guys discussions of gentoo belong in #gentoo
[11:20] <Seveas> Sjoerd-, ignore that, ubuntu-expert was just rambling
[11:20] <Locke> Afief, im running a geforce4 mx 420 pci in an athlon 850
[11:20] <Jowi> thanks Seveas
[11:20] <yggdrasil> i think ive got somethign else ... i cant sudo .. its not working properly
[11:20] <charle97> scotticus: what type is the sound card?
[11:20] <jrib> yggdrasil: what happens when you try to use sudo that makes you say that?
[11:20] <Afief> farous: which package exactly? totem has many
[11:21] <yggdrasil> linux_user400354 how do i remove a user .. and add
[11:21] <yggdrasil> jrib
[11:21] <farous> Afief: totem-xine
[11:21] <yggdrasil> the cmds dont get executed..
[11:21] <Locke> holy crap i just looked at the number of people in here
[11:21] <yggdrasil> like if i do sudo reboot nothing happes
[11:21] <linux_user400354> yggdrasil, "man adduser" and "man deluser"
[11:21] <yggdrasil> yeay ea
[11:21] <farous> Afief: but frnakly i do not really know what the cause of the prob is
[11:21] <Afief> locke: weird, i have ATI, but the same problem, so it's probably not the driver
[11:21] <agorf> RadiantFire, its libxml-libmxl-perl
[11:21] <terrapen_> hi.  anybody seen a problem where screen(1) does not bind the backspace key correctly?
[11:21] <agorf> RadiantFire, for the history :P
[11:21] <NoUse> yggdrasil do you just want to clean your home directory? you don't need to delete your user for that
[11:21] <yggdrasil> well sudos messedup so i cant do much of anything
[11:21] <jrib> yggdrasil: what does 'sudo echo hi' do?
[11:21] <scotticus> charle97: its a cmedia card...i'll get the model
[11:21] <yggdrasil> jrib ok...
[11:21] <Afief> farous: as long as it gets fixed i don't mind. totem-xine isn't installed here at all
[11:22] <terrapen_> I've never had this problem with screen(1) on any other platform.  Currently, I have to do Control-H to delete
[11:22] <yggdrasil> ahh ... yggdrasil3 is not inthe sudoers file
[11:22] <yggdrasil> that explains it
[11:22] <scotticus> charle97: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738
[11:22] <NoUse> yggdrasil you need to be in the admin group, thats all
[11:22] <farous> Afief: it was that even writing in the terminal was so slow. I noticed that only in gnome desktop. I run fluxbox which was much better though
[11:23] <Exstatica> why is it i can't create a link to a smb folder?
[11:23] <yggdrasil> nouse i try to delete the home folder and it gives me all kinds of errors when i try to log in with gnome.
[11:23] <terrapen_> y'all must not use screen very often :)
[11:23] <yggdrasil> how do i add one of the users to the sudoers group
[11:23] <RadiantFire> yggdrasil: no, don't delete your home folder!
[11:23] <aleka> I am also having problems getting totem xine amarock vlc p[layer and so many other i have tried to get to play my media files
[11:23] <farous> Afief: did you try top to see if an application is hogging your resources
[11:23] <yggdrasil> too late guys
[11:23] <RadiantFire> why are you trying to delete it?
[11:23] <yggdrasil> cuz i want to start from scratch
[11:23] <RadiantFire> yggdrasil: with settings?
[11:24] <yggdrasil> gnome wont run and i cant figure out why..
[11:24] <RadiantFire> yggdrasil: you could have just rm -rf .*
[11:24] <NoUse> yggdrasil if you deleted it, you need to recreate it beofre logging it
[11:24] <RadiantFire> in your home folder
[11:24] <RadiantFire> that would have done the same thing
[11:24] <__mikem> gnome won't run, gee I wonder why
[11:24] <RadiantFire> only you wouldnt have lost all our files
[11:24] <jrib> yggdrasil: the empty folder has to actually exist usually /home/username and you should be its owner
[11:24] <Jowi> yggdrasil: no kidding. you need a proper home directory for gnome to work.
[11:24] <Warbo> RadiantFire: That actually includes "." and ".." which you don;t want to delete!
[11:24] <yggdrasil> you guys dont listen
[11:24] <RadiantFire> Warbo: you can't
[11:24] <RadiantFire> Warbo: it gives an error about unable to remove . and ..
[11:24] <yggdrasil> jowi i coudlnt log in before i did this
[11:24] <RadiantFire> and then continues
[11:24] <digggg> uh.. i'll be back to get help tomorrow guys.  it's like 5 am here. need to get some sleep. ;-). thanks Amaranth, gray__, Ohzie|out, Warbo etc. thanks.
[11:24] <Warbo> RadiantFire: Oh, yeah. Not sudo
[11:24] <yggdrasil> and no one here seemed intelligent enough to figure it out
[11:25] <__mikem> HEy, yggdrasil, if you want to start from scratch, try LFS
[11:25] <RadiantFire> . and .. don't actually exist and can't be removed
[11:25] <yggdrasil> yea
[11:25] <dura> Or try Gentoo
[11:25] <farous> yggdrasil: tke it easy we know you are frustrated.
[11:25] <RadiantFire> i don't think you can delete them with sudo either
[11:25] <Afief> farous: the general system recources no, but i don't know how to check on graphic recources
[11:25] <Warbo> RadiantFire: But if they are recursively deleted then .. is entered and everything in it is deleted
[11:25] <terrapen_> sure, you can delete .. :)
[11:25] <Jowi> yggdrasil: simply removing .gtk* and .gnome* in your home dir should be enough. if that doesn't do it you got bigger problems
[11:25] <terrapen_> but you will be deleting the directory under youself
[11:25] <scotticus> charle97: i can see it in /proc and stuff, i just don't think its setup correctly.
[11:25] <RadiantFire> Warbo: i've done it before, nothing bad happens ;-)
[11:25] <__mikem> You also can't really build a linux distro from inside that distro unless you have a working shell
[11:25] <farous> Afief: i never checked that my self
[11:25] <yggdrasil> well i created other users and everthing works fine for them
[11:25] <RadiantFire> Warbo: i don't think they are folders either
[11:25] <Jack_Sparrow> I cant believe that people ask such stupid unstructured questions.... and complain about the answers they get
[11:25] <RadiantFire> Warbo: its wierd
[11:26] <Afief> farous: totem-xine installed, but no difference for me
[11:26] <yggdrasil> ok chowned it to myself and seems good now ..
[11:26] <linux_user400354> yggdrasil, did you edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[11:26] <TheCross> how do i install emerge?
[11:26] <yggdrasil> thanks everone sorry for blowing up.
[11:26] <jrib> yggdrasil: does your current user have a home directory?
[11:26] <judah> ahhahahhahaha
[11:26] <judah> !gentoo
[11:26] <ubotu> Other Linux distributions include; .deb-based: Debian, Mepis; RPM-based: RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva; Source-based: Gentoo, Slackware
[11:26] <yggdrasil> i fixed it ok...
[11:26] <terrapen_> ok, i'll ask just one last time...does anybody here use screen(1) on ubuntu?
[11:27] <Warbo> Does anyone understand Beagle enough to help me?
[11:27] <yggdrasil> thanks for thehelp it was the chowning of the new home folder.
[11:27] <judah> terrapen_: yes.
[11:27] <judah> terrapen_: but you have to ask again.
[11:27] <yggdrasil> jowi can i msg you
[11:27] <RadiantFire> Slackware isn't source based?
[11:27] <terrapen_> judah: how did you get your backspace key to work properly? :)
[11:27] <Jowi> yggdrasil: you can set up sudo for a fictive user. remove your yggdrasil3 (or whatever you called that user) *including* it's home directory, then recreate that user
[11:27] <RadiantFire> its binary
[11:27] <judah> terrapen_: well.. it just works.
[11:27] <Jowi> yeah yggdrasil
[11:27] <yggdrasil> kk
[11:27] <terrapen_> judah: bummer...mine does not
[11:28] <scotticus> can anyone help me out with my sound card setup?
[11:28] <judah> terrapen_: check to make sure you're using the correct keyboard map
[11:28] <RadiantFire> hey, yggdrasil
[11:28] <yggdrasil> yoyo
[11:28] <__mikem> I will say it again, the only reason I don't use gentoo, is just reading about portage gives me a headache, I can only imagine how painful it is just to use it, if I ever feel like doing things the hard way, my freebsd box does the trick
[11:28] <RadiantFire> instead of just mkdir, i suggest you cp -r /etc/skel
[11:28] <RadiantFire> yggdrasil: cp -r /etc/skel /home/username
[11:28] <yggdrasil> its cool i got it
[11:28] <yggdrasil> thanks
[11:28] <judah> terrapen_: also do you have the TERM environment variable set?
[11:28] <RadiantFire> yggdrasil: /etc/skel is what adduser copies to the home directory
[11:29] <terrapen_> judah, yup... xterm-color
[11:29] <terrapen_> same as i've had it set for years
[11:29] <yggdrasil> radiant fire thanks
[11:29] <judah> terrapen_: try to set it to xterm
[11:30] <judah> i get Wuff ------ Wuff !!!  when it's set to xterm-color
[11:30] <ic56> RadiantFire, Warbo: . and .. are hardlinks to the corresponding directory.  Most command line utilities make some error checks to prevent you from accidentally deleting them but it is possible to delete them with specialised tools.
[11:30] <Locke> i have sudo xmodmap -e keycode 22 = BackSpace BackSpace Terminate_Server  in my startup list and shift backspace STILL kills my X
[11:30] <terrapen_> ahh
[11:30] <judah> terrapen_: however.. you can use ctl + u to clear a whole line if you're stuck .
[11:30] <din> how would i install the latest xfce on breezy? i need a repository.
[11:30] <terrapen_> indeed that fixes it...yup, know about ctrl-u
[11:31] <terrapen_> ok, that's probably a flaw in ubuntu's termcaprc
[11:31] <judah> terrapen_: and ctl + h to single backspace
[11:31] <terrapen_> err termcap
[11:31] <terrapen_> judah, of course
[11:31] <TheCross> hello. can anybody help me with an overheating problem?
[11:31] <fredsa> hi guys, I've got a problem with my sound and I've worked out it's a permissions thing. Anyone know what I should chmod?
[11:31] <Afief> I have a serious problem here, 2D graphic acceleration doesn't work while 3d does!
[11:31] <judah> fredsa: /dev/dsp is the sound device.
[11:31] <__mikem> chmod 766 should do it
[11:31] <terrapen_> err, what decade am i in...terminfo i mean
[11:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Cross, what kind of a heating problem?
[11:32] <judah> fredsa: just make sure your user is in group audio
[11:32] <fredsa> judah: how do I do that?
[11:32] <TheCross> Jack_Sparrow: When I put a big load on it shuts down.
[11:33] <TheCross> Jack_Sparrow: Sometimes x windows crashes
[11:33] <reech> hi - have probs with hdd speed -cannot set to above udma33 with hdparm
[11:34] <judah> fredsa: System -> Administration -> Users and Groups
[11:34] <judah> fredsa: if you want to do it that way..
[11:34] <judah> fredsa: the file in question is /etc/group
[11:34] <yggdrasil> ***********########################## THANK YOU EVERYONE ################################*********************
[11:34] <Afief> I have a serious problem here, 2D graphic acceleration doesn't work while 3d does!
[11:34] <scotticus> can anyone help me out with my sound card setup?
[11:34] <fredsa> judah, that option doesn't appear in my admin menu, so I'll check the file
[11:34] <judah> fredsa: aslo you can check what groups you are already in by typing `groups` at the command line
[11:35] <TheCross> Jack_Sparrow: It is running in state C1a lot of the time. even when i'm not doing anything
[11:35] <KenSentMe> scotticus: just ask your question and maybe someone can help, what is your problem?
[11:35] <judah> fredsa: and ls -lash /dev/dsp  should show something like
[11:35] <fredsa> juhah: `groups` returns 'admin'
[11:35] <judah> 0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 2006-06-23 09:10 /dev/dsp
[11:35] <judah> fredsa: are you sudo'd as root?
[11:35] <fredsa> judah: no.
[11:36] <TheCross> Jack_Sparrow: I am running a P4 3.2HT
[11:36] <din> so, no one knows how the repository for breezy and the latest xfce4?
[11:36] <majd> hey, vnc viewer doesn't seem to work
[11:36] <judah> fredsa: well you should be in your own users name group as well at least
[11:36] <judah> fredsa: way more than just admin
[11:36] <farous> TheHighChild: do you have freq-scaling on your pc and do you have powernowd package installed
[11:36] <majd> i type vncviewer in my terminal, then i type the ip address of the server, but nothing happens
[11:36] <TheCross> Jack_Sparrow: I have reduced it to 2Ghz which has stopped it shutting down a little bit, but she still goes down when I work it hard
[11:37] <fredsa> judah: I had to delete and recreate my user account the other day, so I only added to user group
[11:37] <fredsa> judah, I mean, admin group
[11:37] <scotticus> i'm having a problem with my soundcard. afaik it is being seen by the OS fine, however, i'm getting no sound.  and any attempt to use it usually spews errors to the terminal i have open.
[11:37] <fredsa> judah: I can't remember how I did that, though :p
[11:37] <judah> fredsa: that's your main issue.. i have to run.. good luck.
[11:38] <majd> now i get: xtightvncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: Connection refused
[11:38] <majd> Unable to connect to VNC server
[11:38] <farous> TheCross: do you have freq-scaling on your pc and do you have powernowd package installed
[11:38] <fredsa> cheers, judah
[11:38] <Bassetts> my pc seems to berunning slower and its crashing, start up takes alot longer, any idea why this would be?
[11:38] <TheCross> farous: yes i have powernowd installed, it helped a little bit. but not solved problem completly
[11:38] <Jack_Sparrow> TheCross: Sorry I was busy for a sec..
[11:38] <Spec> Bassetts: check your temperatures
[11:38] <TheCross> farous: dont really know about freq-scaling
[11:39] <farous> TheCross: p4 laptops are know to go hot
[11:39] <Jack_Sparrow> I have the same thing with no problems..
[11:39] <Afief> XGL seems to run with 50% of the CPU even when i'm just idely displaying the CPU info, is this a bug?
[11:39] <Spec> Bassetts: also, run a memory check, that's basically a symptom of memory issues :-/
[11:39] <fredsa> so can anyone tell my what groups a typical user should be a member of?
[11:39] <Bassetts> Spec: wheres temp?
[11:39] <TheCross> Jack_Sparrow: did you get all my messages?
[11:39] <Spec> Bassetts: I don't know, in your BIOS or acpi
[11:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Trying to read back now.. prefer to private chat this..?
[11:39] <farous> TheCross: lsmod |grep cpufreq-userspace. tell me what that give you
[11:39] <Spec> Bassetts: find /proc/acpi |grep -i therm  <-- does that do anything?
[11:40] <scotticus> this is the first error i get: ALSA lib confmisc.c:672:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0'
[11:40] <farous> TheCross: lsmod |grep cpufreq_userspace. it is an underscore sorry
[11:40] <Jack_Sparrow> These p4 3.2 generate some incredible heat..
[11:40] <ajha> hi
[11:40] <Bassetts> Spec: /proc/acpi/thermal_zone
[11:40] <Spec> Bassetts: cat that file
[11:40] <Bassetts> cat/
[11:40] <Spec> Bassetts: cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone
[11:40] <reech> meeow
[11:40] <Spec> Bassetts: not sure if that'll give temp though, probably won't
[11:40] <Bassetts> cat: /proc/acpi/thermal_zone: Is a directory
[11:40] <Spec> Bassetts: oh :p, what's in it?
[11:41] <TheCross> farous: 4696 1
[11:41] <Canopus> Hi everyone
[11:41] <Bassetts> Spec: .  ..
[11:41] <Bassetts> lol
[11:41] <krazykit> Bassetts: there's a file in there.  keep hitting tab
[11:41] <Canopus> hope someone would be able to help here
[11:41] <Canopus> i am installing oracle-xe on dapper
[11:41] <farous> TheCross: you seem to have the mod enabled. did you try changing the powernowd to mode 2. it will make appl slower but will reduce heat
[11:41] <fredsa> can someone tell me what groups they belong to? I need to get an idea of what groups to add my account to
[11:42] <krazykit> Bassetts: i think it's /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature
[11:42] <farous> TheCross: look also to other daemons. on my athalon notebook i found that powersave is better
[11:42] <Jack_Sparrow> TheCross:  what is the temp setting in your cmos?
[11:42] <Canopus> and i get a message that /etc/init.d/functions no such file exists
[11:42] <Canopus> can anyone guide me how i get this file
[11:42] <Bassetts> /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature: No such file or directory
[11:42] <Canopus> or do i remark the line in the script
[11:43] <farous> Bassetts: install sensors-aplet package. then add the hardware monitor to your pannel. will give you nice gui for all your hardware including temperatures
[11:43] <sublime> someone can use de moto4lin ?
[11:43] <TheCross> farous: i think i have it set to mode 2 already
[11:43] <farous> Bassetts: it is sensors-applet i think
[11:44] <sublime> some one can helpme with de moto4lin ?
[11:44] <Canopus> one more problem : how do i enable hibernate option in dapper .. am using ibm thinkpad  r50e
[11:44] <farous> TheCross: ok try powersaved. it will remove powernowd as they basically do the same thing
[11:44] <Canopus> it worked great on breezy
[11:44] <Bassetts> Spec: i had my pc open earlier, just to check the dvd-rw ide becuase thats dodgy, ubuntu mounts, unmounts as and when it feels like and wont write properly on it
[11:44] <TheCross> farous: and yes i tried a few other deamons. powernowd seems to be best so far. ont think i tried power save. will try now
[11:44] <bsdirl> quick question, does breezy come with the kernel headers?
[11:44] <bsdirl> the CD that is?
[11:44] <patrick_king> i need to ask a question in my networking settings on ubuntu i seem to have to connections i know what eth0 one is but there is another called lo what could this be
[11:44] <farous> TheCross: in powersave you can specify you need the lowest freq for cpu
[11:45] <fredsa> sorry to persist, but can someone please tell me what they get when they type 'groups' at the shell?
[11:45] <Canopus> patrick its the loopback
[11:45] <sublime> Someone use moto4lin ?
[11:45] <Tonren> patrick_king: That's your "loopback connection".  It's a special network connection that lets the computer connect to itself.
[11:45] <Jack_Sparrow> TheCross: how old is your PC..
[11:45] <Tonren> patrick_king: You don't really need to worry about it.
[11:45] <Canopus> anyone have idea about a file called /etc/init.d/functions
[11:45] <TheCross> Jack_Sparrow: Its sitting at 60 and its 2 years old
[11:45] <Spec> Bassetts: run a memory checker
[11:45] <Canopus> does anyone have it
[11:45] <Bassetts> Spec: where is that?
[11:45] <Canopus> ?
[11:46] <patrick_king> ok i just wanted to know what its was im trying to get my pcmcia card running
[11:46] <Spec> !memcheck86
[11:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about memcheck86
[11:46] <Spec> you fiend!
[11:46] <Jack_Sparrow> TheCross: after about a year I had to pull the heatsink and apply some better thermal grease than the original product, all the problems went away
[11:46] <TheCross> farous: cpufreq_userspace is not 4696 0
[11:46] <Spec> there should be a memory tester on the livecd
[11:46] <Bassetts> Sped: its a brand new pc =(
[11:46] <Spec> can anyone back me up on this?
[11:46] <bsdirl> question, kernel headers w/ breezy cd or no?
[11:46] <Spec> Bassetts: i've seen brand new memory fail plenty of times
[11:46] <farous> TheCross: ?
[11:46] <TheCross> Jack_Sparrow: that is a good idea
[11:46] <Bassetts> Spec: memtest is in grub?
[11:46] <Spec> could/should be
[11:46] <Canopus> check the cd bsdirl
[11:46] <Bassetts> !memtest86
[11:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about memtest86
[11:46] <Bassetts> !memtest
[11:46] <Jack_Sparrow> This unit was a mess until I did that
[11:47] <ubotu> I know nothing about memtest
[11:47] <TheCross> farous: cpufreq_userspace is not 4696 0
[11:47] <Bassetts> stupid bot
[11:47] <Bassetts> !memtest86+
[11:47] <ubotu> I know nothing about memtest86+
[11:47] <farous> TheCross: when i type the command i get cpufreq_userspace then a nubm. it varies which is loaded first i think
[11:47] <ajha> Someone knows a good document on howto creating a mirror of ubuntu
[11:47] <TheCross> farous: sorry, hit enter before I finishe. now powersave is installed cpufreq_userspace is now 4696 0
[11:47] <Bassetts> brb then i guess
[11:47] <Cntryboy> I got my unrealtournament resolution problem fixed yay. Now I have one question concerning color bit depth. In the game it says 32bit and won't let me change to 16bit. So im guessing my desktop is ran at 32bit.. How can I change my desktop colorbit to 16?
[11:47] <Canopus> ehm /etc/init.d/functions ... anyone?
[11:47] <Abrii> Canopus, /etc/init.d/functions like that exactly?
[11:48] <Abrii> nada here if so
[11:48] <farous> TheCross: that is ok. just man powersave and use more conservative policy
[11:48] <Canopus> yes abrii
[11:48] <Jack_Sparrow> ajha: I use a live distro and dd the install to a second partition..
[11:48] <Canopus> an installation script is asking for it and i don't seem to find it
[11:48] <farous> TheCross: but p4 heat problem is well documented you can google it and you will be amazed
[11:48] <bsdirl> downloading the intel 536ep modem driver, wondering if the breezy cd had the kernel headers that i needed..
[11:48] <Cntryboy> anyone?
[11:48] <ajha> Jack_Sparrow, In the company where I work they are in favour of creating and to be a mirror of ubuntu
[11:49] <Canopus> hibernation on ibm laptop ... anyone
[11:49] <NoUse> Cntryboy its set in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:49] <Cntryboy> thats what I was affraid of
[11:49] <Cntryboy> does that mean I have to reconfigured xorg.conf and then have to reinstall nvidida drivers again?
[11:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Oh, the whole site and not just your install?
[11:49] <Canopus> nah cntryboy
[11:49] <Cntryboy> or can I just change it and save it with out updating or anything
[11:50] <Canopus> try the forums cntryboy ... i read a good walkthrough for that over there
[11:50] <TheCross> farous: I will have a little play around with powersave and get back to you. Jack Sparrow had a good idea too. Take the heatsink out and apply new thermal grease.
[11:50] <scotticus> so my soundcard isn't working.  It looks like the ubuntu install detected it ok, but everytime i try to run an audio app it gives me "device doesn't exist" sorts of errors.
[11:50] <scotticus> can anyone help?
[11:50] <Abrii> Canopus, my fiance says you'll find that in Redhat but Ubuntu doesn't have some of the files other distros have
[11:51] <Canopus> yes i read that abrii
[11:51] <farous> goodluck TheCross :)
[11:51] <Canopus> but the oracle-xe script (#$%T%$#) wants it
[11:51] <Cntryboy> canopus: this is what my xorg says DefaultDepth    24
[11:51] <TheCross> farous: thank you for your time!
[11:51] <Cntryboy> so my desktop right now is in 24bit color correct?
[11:51] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[11:51] <Hexidigital_> any idea how i fix this??  -> apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
[11:51] <TheCross> Jack_Sparrow: thank you for your time!
[11:52] <Abrii> Canopus, no idea what you'd do I'm Really new to all this myself
[11:52] <Jack_Sparrow> anytime
[11:52] <Inferus> Hi all
[11:52] <Canopus> thanx abrii ... its just all over the internet i find the same guide for installing oracle on debian based distros and there is no mention of such an error
[11:53] <Awesome-o2000> I found the power adapter!!!
[11:53] <Inferus> I've just set 'Option "NoPowerConnectorCheck"' because my ubuntu has difficulties with starting x under normal circumstances
[11:53] <Inferus> how do i restart x
[11:53] <Inferus> plz
[11:53] <Awesome-o2000> im trying out regular ubuntu on a 128mb ram p266mmx laptop now
[11:53] <linuxpoet> What packages do I need to support mp3 in Amarok?
[11:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Iawenow install install install
[11:53] <TheCross> farous: one more q. if I change the mode, does it keep those settings next time i boot?
[11:53] <Hexidigital_> Inferus:: press control + alt + backspace
[11:53] <Awesome-o2000> its taking a slight amount of time to load up
[11:53] <Inferus> done that Hexidigital_
[11:53] <Inferus> didnt work
[11:53] <Jack_Sparrow> that was for Awesome-o2000
[11:53] <TheCross> farous: or do i need to put them in a config file?
[11:53] <farous> TheCross: it should. frankly i mainly used it for debian sid
[11:53] <Inferus> basically, all i have on my screen is a big colourful glitch
[11:53] <fredsa> hexidigital_: does localhost work?
[11:54] <Inferus> a bit like a zx spectrum loading a game :>
[11:54] <Awesome-o2000> Jack_Sparrow, I think i'll be installing xubuntu
[11:54] <DShepherd> Inferus: go to the terminal ..sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[11:54] <farous> TheCross: which worked better on my amd notebook
[11:54] <Canopus> anyone has idea about hibernation on dapper
[11:54] <fredsa> Inferus: ps -a and then kill the X process?
[11:54] <linuxpoet> What packages do I need to get mp3 to work with amorak?
[11:54] <Awesome-o2000> its been a few minutes and ubuntu's still loading lol
[11:54] <TheCross> farous: ok, thanks!
[11:54] <Hexidigital_> fredsa:: localhost works, and my domain name work .... but i keep getting that email in my logs
[11:54] <farous> TheCross: there is an option that will tell you which setting it is on
[11:54] <gnomefreak> !restricted > linuxpoet
[11:54] <farous> so you can always check
[11:54] <ajha> bye
[11:54] <Inferus> DShepherd: no difference
[11:54] <gnomefreak> linuxpoet: please read your pm
[11:55] <farous> ur welcomed TheCross
[11:55] <DShepherd> Inferus: ok
[11:55] <Cntryboy> If I change DefaultDepth    to 16 where it has 24 and save my xorg.conf will I lose X or will I be okay?
[11:55] <linuxpoet> ok
[11:55] <Canopus> hibernate ...anyone
[11:55] <Inferus> I always have problems with linux, it hates me :(
[11:55] <Hexidigital_> gnomefreak:: new way to forward factoids?
[11:55] <splashtech> hi, I've just installed xubuntu and it cant connect to the server used for updates etc (gb.archive.ubuntu.com). It quits with the message "connection failed". Same when I do apt-get [whatever] . DNS and other such network services are fine, and I can ping the host and browse it in firefox. Any ideas? Thx
[11:55] <gnomefreak> Hexidigital_: new bot
[11:55] <gnomefreak> Hexidigital_: old way still stands
[11:55] <Hexidigital_> gnomefreak:: good deal :)
[11:55] <Canopus> hibernate ...anyone
[11:55] <Jack_Sparrow> splas the us reps have been down today
[11:55] <Inferus> DShepherd: xserver runs ok when i installed ubuntu, if I run it on the gfx safemode
[11:56] <farous> Canopus: if you get it working then tell me i have the same prob
[11:56] <Canopus> lol farous
[11:56] <Inferus> but on normal mode, it doesnt
[11:56] <Cntryboy> gnomefreak: care to help a friend :)
[11:56] <madman91> hi... i was reading around and heard that some ubuntu users were able to install creative x-fi
[11:56] <gnomefreak> Cntryboy: with that game?
[11:56] <farous> Canopus: but i do not care for it a lot too. i am quite happy by rebooting ;)
[11:56] <madman91> do you guys have any ideas
[11:56] <DShepherd> Inferus: have you tried to reconfigure X?
[11:57] <Awesome-o2000> lol - ubuntu boots!!!!
[11:57] <Inferus> how do I do that DShepherd
[11:57] <linuxpoet> ok that is read but for Kubuntu it says to use libxine-extracodecs... which doesn't exist in my repository
[11:57] <Inferus> :>
[11:57] <Cntryboy> well I'm really going to experiment.. My game will only let me choose 32bit color and my graphics card is tooo slow for that.. So Im hoping if I change something in xorg.conf to 16bit my game will have to let me change it to 16bit.. just a wild guess
[11:57] <Awesome-o2000> lets see if gnome loads
[11:57] <Canopus> well wud love to see hibernation and wireless connectivity working
[11:57] <gnomefreak> linuxpoet: multiverse repo
[11:57] <DShepherd> Inferus: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:57] <farous> Canopus: wireless working here ipw2200
[11:57] <}btorch{> how can I install my kernel source on 5.10
[11:58] <SurfnKid> farous: dapper?
[11:58] <}btorch{> apt-get install kernel-source ?
[11:58] <splashtech> anyone have any ideas why none of the repositories are working for me? (x/ubuntu 6.06)
[11:58] <farous> SurfnKid: yap and was running in breezy too
[11:58] <Canopus> farous ... done anything special
[11:58] <farous> nope
[11:58] <gnomefreak> Cntryboy: that wont help i think the game needs 32bit so it will use it no matter what (a logical guess)
[11:58] <linuxpoet> ahhh I just had universe! Thanks :)
[11:58] <DShepherd> splashtech: what do you mean they are not working?
[11:58] <farous> Canopus: but i had to install it manually in debian which is the same thing
[11:58] <gnomefreak> yw
[11:58] <}btorch{> the packages.ubuntu.com site doesn't show anything for  2.6.12-9
[11:59] <farous> Canopus: you need to compile the source then get the proper firmwire
[11:59] <Cntryboy> gnomefreak: in windows it let me choose 16bit.. and I read somewhere that if your desktop is 16bit in xorg.conf the game can't run at 32bit. So i'm wanting to do the opposite of that.
[11:59] <Cntryboy> :)
[11:59] <SurfnKid> farous:  did dapper detect it or did you install it
[11:59] <Canopus> farous: the hardware is detected
[11:59] <splashtech> DShepherd... any operation with them at all (any apt-get operation like apt-get update or whatever, plus the gui interfaces) fails with a "Failed to connect" error.
[11:59] <fredsa> what should I see listed when I type 'groups' at the shell? At the moment, all I see is 'admin'
[11:59] <farous> Canopus: did you check lsmod|grep ipw2200
[11:59] <Cntryboy> gnomefreak: and btw my xorg.conf default depth is 24
[11:59] <gnomefreak> Cntryboy: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg near the end change it to 16
[11:59] <linuxpoet> O.k. I have to be honest this is silly. MP3s work perfectly in Gnome and Xfce... It is a little frustrating that I can't get them to work in Amorak
[11:59] <Canopus> farous: nope
[11:59] <farous> Canopus: yap in both dapper and breezy
[11:59] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> can k3b convert flac to wav on the fly to burn a audio cd?
[11:59] <farous> Canopus: ok check it then
[12:00] <DShepherd> splashtech: are you connected to the internet?
