[12:00] <barongas> Ok, cool. I'll just keep my old home then, thanks a bunch everyone who helped me
[12:01] <fowlduck> Jemt: no
[12:01] <fowlduck> Jemt: man update-rc.d
[12:01] <Jemt> How can I make a shell script execute as early as possible then ?
[12:01] <CarlFK> ljl: apt-get -f install  -  it is trying to install vmware-player again ..
[12:01] <Jemt> fowlduck: Thanks :)
[12:01] <fowlduck> Jemt: no problem :)
[12:01] <barongas> ahhh, X sweet X
[12:01] <LjL> CarlFK: yeah, it's supposed to. hopefully this time it actually will
[12:01] <snozle> does anyone have any experience with skypemate and ubuntu?
[12:01] <LjL> fowlduck: perhaps cat /proc/version is more to your liking
[12:02] <erUSUL> Jemt: bum is a gnome app to manage what is run at startup
[12:02] <snozle> I have a usb phone adapter that I want to get to work
[12:02] <J_P> people, I install talkd and talk in dapper, but I have this erros when user do talk user: [ Error on read from talk daemon: Connection refused. Press any key... \.  Any idea ?
[12:02] <disant> Jemt, start w/adding the script and see if it works
[12:02] <LjL> fowlduck: but don't forget that it can be changed, if you're root, just like anything else
[12:02] <CarlFK> Jemt: it depends on how early you really need it.  what are you trying to do?
[12:02] <soundray> barongas: you can always mount a fat32 system to a mountpoint in your home. With the right mount options, you can make it writable for your regular user.
[12:02] <Sivik> Warbo: it says the fonts may not be installed
[12:02] <fowlduck> LjL: perfect
[12:02] <patrick_king> how do i link samba 3 to swat 3, so i can access it at localhost:901
[12:02] <fowlduck> LjL: thanks
[12:02] <disant> CarlFK, wireless card
[12:02] <disant> Jemt, you can put it in /etc/inittab too.. but /etc/init.d would suffice
[12:02] <olab> hello
[12:02] <Jemt> CarlFK: I have a problem with my WiFi adapter. It is not detected at startup, even though the module is loaded just fine (show up in 'lsmod'). Removing the module and reloading it solves the problem
[12:02] <olab> hello
[12:03] <olab> hola
[12:03] <h3sp4wn> barongas: shfs is fine (or if you need it from windows you can use the putty scp client)
[12:03] <olab> hay alguien?
[12:03] <barongas> soundray: That's an alternative. I just wanted to have my home on another partition. But I don't want bunches of extra partitions
[12:03] <Jemt> disant: Ok, thanks
[12:03] <disant> although you should avoid those hacks and just recreate your boot img
[12:03] <pjfc> Who knows how  to fix an upgraded kernel 2.6.15-25-386 won't load properly.  Computer freezes.
[12:03] <disant> man mkinitrd
[12:03] <MatthewV> hello olab ... if you want to ask something just do
[12:03] <Jemt> disant: Great :)
[12:03] <barongas> h3sp4wn, shfs?
[12:03] <h3sp4wn> SSH filesystem
[12:03] <Sivik> Warbo, how do i go about getting the fonts installed to make the X Window system happy
[12:03] <CarlFK> disant: you proably want to look into fixing the problem/module instead of working around it
[12:03] <Stormx2> I need to convert between audio format; how?
[12:04] <disant> i think his problem is that module is not loading on reboot
[12:04] <Sivik> Stormx2, what a program
[12:04] <CarlFK> Stormx2: check out transcode
[12:04] <fowlduck> k, thanks everyone
[12:04] <fowlduck> later
[12:04] <disant> CarlFK, that was for you
[12:04] <soundray> barongas: I think h3sp4wn assumes a LAN setup...
[12:04] <barongas> h3sp4wn, I'd rather let my windows partition access my files easier than through a client though... or will it be seamless? (loves ssh and everything putty)
[12:04] <h3sp4wn> soundray: He mentions 3 boxes hence I assume either a LAN or WAN
[12:04] <barongas> soundray, h3sp4wn ahh, It's only one computer
[12:05] <barongas> h3sp4wn, can't remember me mentioning 3 boxes. sorry if I did
[12:05] <CarlFK> disant - whatever the problem is, sounds like something that should be reported and fixed
[12:05] <BCK14> !kbuntu
[12:05] <ubotu> I know nothing about kbuntu
[12:05] <soundray> barongas: I exchange files with Windows via USB sticks mostly - it's most practical although I have a FAT32 partition
[12:05] <BCK14> !kubuntu
[12:05] <ubotu> Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment. For more info see http://kubuntu.org ; to install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[12:06] <CarlFK> ljl: apt-get -f install  -  it is _still_ trying to install vmware-player again .. (2nd -f install )
[12:06] <soundray> barongas: another thing you might try is an ext2 filesystem driver for Windows.
[12:06] <barongas> soundray, I want to have shared shares, shared media and documents that I use on day to day basis and have no usb stick
[12:06] <h3sp4wn> barongas: Sorry I am getting confused (This channel moves too fast for me)
[12:06] <will> hi everyone
[12:06] <LjL> CarlFK: pastebin the error
[12:06] <will> how can i open
[12:06] <CarlFK> barongas: www.fs-driver.org It provides Windows NT4.0/2000/XP with full access to Linux Ext2 volumes (read access and write access).
[12:06] <barongas> soundray, I did that before but I don't want windows to be able to touch my ubuntu partition, it corrupted my last one
[12:07] <will> airsnort after downloading the packages!?
[12:07] <will> i've just installed ubuntu
[12:07] <soundray> barongas: oh.
[12:07] <Sivik> Warbo: x starts now but it just sits a grey/black screen
[12:07] <LjL> Will: sorry? airsnort is installed by typing "sudo aptitude install airsnort", or by using any other of the standard installation methods
[12:07] <twobitsprite> so, I installed the TOR package, but how do I use it? is there a standard port?
[12:07] <Lobster> Gute Nacht
[12:07] <LjL> !tell will about apt
[12:07] <will> and i dont know anything...
[12:08] <barongas> soundray What do I write in fstab to let my fat32 partition be writeable by normal user?
[12:08] <HellDragon> !tell will about apt
[12:08] <erUSUL> !vfat
[12:08] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[12:08] <will> ...yes i tried apt-get install
[12:08] <will> but after that
[12:08] <Sivik> will: try looking on sourceforge
[12:09] <soundray> barongas: ^^ ubotu's line (thx erUSUL)
[12:09] <will> the sistem tell me that it is already installed but i cant open it
[12:09] <will> !!
[12:09] <ubotu> I know nothing about !
[12:09] <barongas> got it, thanks all
[12:09] <LjL> Will: "open it"? what do you mean with that? run it?
[12:09] <will> yes sorry...open it
[12:10] <CarlFK> ljl: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16660
[12:10] <LjL> Will: well, it works for me by just typing "airsnort"
[12:10] <mz2> is anybody else experiencing issues with ruby gems on dapper?
[12:10] <mz2> syntax errors
[12:10] <will> ooooooooooooook
[12:10] <will> !!!
[12:10] <ubotu> I know nothing about !!
[12:10] <LjL> Will: you should have it in your menu as well, though sometimes you need a reboot before stuff appears in the menu -- and sometimes it doesn't even appear at all
[12:10] <will> yes it works!!
[12:11] <will> thank you
[12:11] <will> but the problem is that it didnt appear in the menu...
[12:11] <will> !!
[12:11] <ubotu> I know nothing about !
[12:11] <Krhis> XD
[12:11] <disant> only thing I know bout ruby is that its a strip joint where we sometimes hangout after work :)
[12:11] <Krhis> !?
[12:11] <ubotu> I know nothing about ?
[12:11] <danfg> shut up obutu
[12:11] <will> and i didnt understand why...
[12:11] <Sivik> Warbo, are you still around?
[12:11] <LjL> CarlFK: hmm, what if you try "sudo modprobe vmnet" and then try again?
[12:12] <LjL> Will: it happens. wait till next reboot, it may appear. if not, you can still add it manually
[12:12] <CarlFK> ljl: carl@amd15:~/temp$ sudo modprobe vmnet \ FATAL: Module vmnet not found.
[12:13] <will> how can i add icons to the menu manually!?
[12:13] <Sivik> i'm stilling having problems with X
[12:13] <LjL> Will: right click on the menu, and click on edit menu
[12:13] <_absolution_> why am I getting a "permission denied" when running "/.fluxbox/menu"??
[12:13] <Sivik> _absolution_, maybe because you can't run it as user, you have to run it as sudo
[12:13] <monomaniacpat> can you tell me how to unmake files? I've done it before... ages ago. Basically just returns files to their original un-made state.
[12:14] <kalosaurusrex> mono:  talking about make clean?
[12:14] <_absolution_> when I run it as root it says "no such file or directory"
[12:14] <will> ooooooook thank you everyone!!
[12:14] <will> i go to bed
[12:14] <Sivik> Warbo, are you still around?
[12:14] <LjL> CarlFK: what does "apt-cache policy vmware-player-kernel-modules | grep Installed" tell you?
[12:14] <Sisyphus> hi all !
[12:14] <will> goodnight!!
[12:14] <Tonren> monomaniacpat: "make uninstall"?
[12:14] <monomaniacpat> kalosaurusrex: could be
[12:15] <LjL> monomaniacpat: perhaps you mean "make distclean"
[12:15] <BCK14> !kubuntu
[12:15] <ubotu> Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment. For more info see http://kubuntu.org ; to install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[12:15] <Tonren> monomaniacpat: Most makefiles install the app in a different directory; they shouldn't mess with the source files.
[12:15] <monomaniacpat> what's the command for make clean?
[12:15] <LjL> monomaniacpat: (or just "make clean" if you want your configure cache to stay)
[12:15] <C|1> hello i'm having a small problem with with acessing my ntfs sata drives from ubuntu. it says that i dont have permissions necessary to view said drives contents
[12:15] <CarlFK> ljl: Installed: 2.6.15.10-6
[12:15] <kalosaurusrex> just "make clean"
[12:15] <LjL> monomaniacpat: uh.... "make clean"?
[12:15] <monomaniacpat> OK
[12:15] <root__> hello ppls
[12:15] <Sisyphus> hi
[12:15] <benu> i need some helpo
[12:15] <monomaniacpat> Oh, hang on... I want to unconfigure, not unmake
[12:15] <Sivik> benu, what is your question?
[12:16] <CarlFK> ljl: huh - it does seem to be installed... (i just ran it) didn't know that
[12:16] <kalosaurusrex> mono: make clean then should do it..
[12:16] <monomaniacpat> is this poss or shall I just delete and re-extract
[12:16] <kalosaurusrex> just make clean, then ./configure, make, etc.
[12:16] <LjL> CarlFK: i think i might know what the problem is
[12:16] <Tigers> hi all, could anyone tell me how I can change the default width of the console? It is something I have to pass as start up#
[12:16] <Tigers> ?
[12:17] <LjL> CarlFK: what's your "uname -r" like? 23 or 25?
[12:17] <benu> i have eth2 card DHCP internet, i set it default gw, but if i-ll reboot others card it will add them self default gw
[12:17] <Sivik> how do i get past issues with failed to initialized GLX extensions
[12:17] <Warbo> Tigers: I think the COLUMNS variable may do that?
[12:17] <Sivik> Warbo: yeah, your back
[12:17] <Tigers> thanks
[12:17] <Warbo> Sivik: Was selecting some games in aptitude :)
[12:17] <Sivik> Warbo: i installed xserver-xorg and enlightenment, but now having issues with GLX
[12:17] <Tonren> Hey guys, has anyone experienced some trouble getting amaroK to load in a timely manner?  It takes 10 - 15 seconds to boot up for me.
[12:18] <Warbo> Sivik: What driver are you using?
[12:18] <benu> and then i must re enter iptables masq reconfigure ipmasq and restart dnsmasq to work again
[12:18] <LjL> CarlFK: and, if it's -25, do you have "multiverse" enabled for "dapper-security"?
[12:18] <Sivik> Warbo: nvidia-glx
[12:18] <Warbo> Tonren: It is a very bulky program, but they are working on it
[12:18] <barongas> How do I create a link to a folder, like a windows shortcut or a mac alias?
[12:18] <sexcopter8000m> Hi, i'm using the character palette applet thing, and would like to use greek letters. how can i do this?
[12:18] <Warbo> Sivik: How did you install it? With Ubuntu packages?
[12:18] <C|1> hello I'm having a small problem with with accessing my ntfs sata drives from ubuntu. it says that i don't have permissions necessary to view said drives contents. I was wondering what the solution is to this?
[12:19] <Sivik> Warbo: yes
[12:19] <LjL> barongas: ln -s targetfile linkname
[12:19] <kalosaurusrex> !ntfs
[12:19] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[12:19] <SonicChao> C|1, you need too be logged in as root/
[12:19] <Warbo> barongas: "ln -s /originalfolder /destination"
[12:19] <Tonren> Warbo: According to several folk in #amarok, it loads in less than 2 seconds for them.
[12:19] <CarlFK> ljl: no - one I do that and update.. then upgrade?
[12:19] <Sivik> Warbo: i get the same errors without it installed
[12:19] <_absolution_> why do I get an "authentication failure" when I type in "su" and then my password?
[12:19] <leboff> Can some one help? my computer keeps freezing while doing large downloads (bittorrent)
[12:19] <Sivik> do i need to install xdm or gdm or kdm or something
[12:19] <Sivik> _absolution_, its sudo su not just su
[12:19] <kalosaurusrex> abso: type "sudo passwd root" then su
[12:19] <barongas> LjL Warbo, I did that and what came up was a link with an orange lock and a nasty red cross on it :(
[12:20] <Warbo> Sivik: I have found them a little unreliable, so I usually install the nvidia-kerel-source and nvidia-glx packages, then use module-assistant to build the driver
[12:20] <Whatsi> hey dudes
[12:20] <_xxx_> Just in the past few weeks when I run Synaptic there's problems with my sources.list
[12:20] <clparker> GOD IS DEAD HAIL SATAN!
[12:20] <Whatsi> I've got a question concerning a mount point
[12:20] <LjL> CarlFK: try that, but i'm not sure it'll work, because it'll possibly still insist in trying to finish the vmware-player install first.    basically the problem is that Ubuntu Security has released a new kernel (-25), and you've got that, and also new vmware modules to match that kernel -- but you haven't got those
[12:20] <Sivik> ok
[12:20] <Whatsi> could anyone help me out
[12:20] <_xxx_> It can't find the archives.ubuntu.com files
[12:20] <SonicChao> clparker, what?
[12:20] <Sivik> Warbo, i get the same errors with it not installed and when its installed
[12:20] <Warbo> barongas: 1) Make sure the source is set right 2) "sudo chown yourusername /path/to/link"
[12:20] <SonicChao> clparker should be kicked
[12:20] <clparker> i mean, i love jesus
[12:20] <LjL> barongas: is the directory/file you're trying to read from readable for your user? i.e. do you have the right privileges?
[12:21] <pennypacker> =|
[12:21] <Leafw> anyone knows how to prevent evolution from crashing (when it was running just fine and no updates have been made), is it remove the settings, and which settings from the ~/.evolution folder?
[12:21] <Whatsi> noone? :(
[12:21] <_xxx_> But it doesn't say it cant find the security urls
[12:21] <SonicChao> clparker, it doesn't matter, this isn't debate.
[12:21] <LjL> clparker: stop. now.
[12:21] <Warbo> Sivik: When it is not installed (andf you have driver set to nv) have you commented out/removed the "glx" line from the "Modules" section of xorg.conf?
[12:21] <clparker> sowwy
[12:21] <SonicChao> clparker, glad you're sorry
[12:21] <clparker> where time becomes a loop
[12:21] <clparker> where time becomes a loop
[12:21] <clparker> where time becomes a loop
[12:21] <h3sp4wn> barongas: I think they are in /etc/apt
[12:21] <LjL> !ops
[12:21] <SonicChao> clparker, do YOU HAVE ANY REAL PROBLEMS?
[12:21] <ubotu> Help! lilo, hedgemage, lamont, Keybuk, jdub, Amaranth, tritium, ajmitch, crimsun, ogra, CarlK, Seveas, Burgundavia, apokryphos, thoreauputic, nalioth, Madpilot, ompaul, rob, Hobbsee or gnomefreak!
[12:21] <clparker> where time becomes a loop
[12:21] <Whatsi> anyone know what file in ubuntu specifies device user and group ownership
[12:21] <mog_> hi; can anyone tell me how to fix this? I'm trying to compile madwifi-ng, but it says "makefile.inc:95: /lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/build is missing, please set KERNELPATH. Stop."
[12:22] <Whatsi> other distros have /etc/devfs.conf
[12:22] <Whatsi> I can't find the ubuntu equivelant
[12:22] <clparker> yo mama
[12:22] <CarlFK> ljl:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16661  (full house!)
[12:22] <Warbo> Whatsi: Ubuntu uses udev instead of devfs (it is better)
[12:22] <Sivik> now i don't get that, i'm getting the same errors except that one
[12:22] <_xxx_> Are there problems with the breezy sources.lists?
[12:22] <SonicChao> Thank you Seveas
[12:22] <barongas> Warbo, it fails when trying to chown it: Too many levels of symlinks
[12:22] <Warbo> Sivik: Is this still the font errors?
[12:23] <mog_> alternatively, where is KERNELPATH set?
[12:23] <Sivik> Warbo: no
[12:23] <barongas> LjL, I got rw perms but I don't own it
[12:23] <Whatsi> hmmm
[12:23] <Seveas> Amaranth, too late :
[12:23] <klingen> Hey i gotta problem
[12:23] <SonicChao> lol Amaranth
[12:23] <_xxx_> :(
[12:23] <LjL> CarlFK: do you mean it's worked? that paste only shows the first part of the story...
[12:23] <Whatsi> one other question
[12:23] <Warbo> barongas: That usually means that there is a loop of links (eg A is a link to B, B is a link to C and C is a link to A. There is no actual file there at all)
[12:23] <Whatsi> involving regular user mounting stuff
[12:23] <Sivik> Warbo: its Skipping "/usr/X11R6/lib/modlues/libfb.a:fbmmx.o": no symbols found
[12:24] <Whatsi> I've got an entry in fstab that allows a user to mount a device into /home/theirusername/stuff
[12:24] <LjL> barongas: do you own the link you've just created? or in other words, did you use sudo?
[12:24] <Whatsi> however, when that user mounts the device
[12:24] <Sivik> Warbo: it skips a few my lines from the ../modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved
[12:24] <Warbo> Sivik: I never use the framebuffer anyway
[12:24] <CarlFK> ljl - well, it wants to do somethign, but didn't say what - which seems odd.  it is doing the vmware setup again
[12:24] <maple> how do you flush dns cache on ubuntu?
[12:24] <Sivik> is that what that is?
[12:24] <Whatsi> the permissions on ~/stuff gets changed, and ownership changes to root
[12:24] <barongas> LjL, did not use sudo
[12:24] <Whatsi> anyone know how to fix that
[12:24] <Sivik> how do i turn that crap off
[12:24] <Warbo> Sivik: DRI is for faster 3D I think
[12:24] <snozle> I have a pdf with editible fields, can someone help me, none of the apps I've tried have been able to edit it
[12:24] <_xxx_> Where can I get a working breezy sources.liust?
[12:24] <Sivik> ok
[12:24] <barongas> Warbo, the original is real. It's a mounted partition but nonetheless real
[12:24] <mog_> KERNELPATH, anyone?
[12:24] <Sivik> Warbo: so how do i turn it off without having to reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:24] <mog_> !kernelpath
[12:24] <ubotu> I know nothing about kernelpath
[12:24] <mog_> doh.
[12:25] <mog_> !makefile.inc
[12:25] <ubotu> I know nothing about makefile.inc
[12:25] <LjL> CarlFK: if it can just be convinced to install the new modules *first*, i think i'd then work. but i don't even see any mention of those security updates in your paste... have there been any?
[12:25] <crazy_penguin> good night to all. sleep weel. :)
[12:25] <barongas> Warbo, LjL I'll just solve it by mounting the partition directly to the Desktop instead of linking about
[12:25] <Warbo> barongas: Have you tried doing it in a file manager like Nautilus? (matbe "gksudo nautilus" would help)
[12:25] <Sivik> Warbo: cause i don't want ot have to delete all the crap about the /dev/wvcam crap again
[12:25] <SonicChao> mog_, do not abyse ubotu
[12:25] <Whatsi> :(
[12:25] <CarlFK> ljl: did it again, now I get The following packages have been kept back:  vmware-player-kernel-modules
[12:25] <mog_> sorry, done.
[12:25] <Warbo> barongas: I use "mount --bind" instead of linking
[12:25] <barongas> Warbo, can I set that up in fstab?
[12:26] <nickwebcouk> hey folks.. THe command line game, atc, what package was that part of?
[12:26] <cyphermox> Whatsi try to use the umask option to mount, it will keep the permissions to something you want.
[12:26] <LjL> CarlFK: gee, why is it keeping them back. try "sudo apt-get install vmware-player-kernel-modules"
[12:26] <klingen> i tried to download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine_0.9.12-winehq2-ubuntu-6.06-1_i386.deb?download and open it with Package Installer, but the status says: Status: Wrong architecture 'i386' ?? PLEASE HELP me, im new att linux, and my goal is to open .exe files, take a private conversation with meee.
[12:26] <CarlFK> ok
[12:26] <_xxx_> No one help me with sources list for breezy?
[12:26] <Sivik> klingen, did you install the 64-bit ubuntu
[12:26] <cyphermox> for example mount -o umask=000 whatever will keep the permissions 777 on the mounted stuff.. you might not want 000 though ;)
[12:26] <SonicChao> !wine
[12:26] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[12:26] <klingen> hmm
[12:27] <klingen> Ubuntu 6.06 that one
[12:27] <Sivik> klingen, did you try installing it via apt-get?
[12:27] <SonicChao> that was for you klingen
[12:27] <LjL> !tell _xxx_ about repos
[12:27] <klingen> but if it was 64 or 32 hmm
[12:27] <Warbo> barongas: Yes. Instead of a device put the source, instead of a mountpoint put the destination, put type as "none" and under options put "bind" (the source and destination directories must both exist as directories, so you may need to make the destination one before trying it)
[12:27] <Seattle_Mike> h3sp4wn, I installed shfs and it works fine ... if the speed is OK I will switch to it all the way.  Thanks a lot for your help.
[12:27] <Whatsi> hmm
[12:27] <SonicChao> !tell klingen about wine
[12:27] <nickwebcouk> nevermind
[12:27] <Sivik> klingen, did you download the 64 bit cd or the 32 bit cd, try man /proc/version
[12:27] <yallaman> isnt "qmail" in apt-get?
[12:27] <nickwebcouk> founs it!
[12:27] <nickwebcouk> bsd-games
[12:27] <klingen> 32bit
[12:27] <Sivik> yallaman, did apt-cache search qmail
[12:27] <Sivik> klingen, then use apt-get
[12:27] <klingen> i have tested that thin wit atp but it didnt work
[12:27] <LjL> Sivik: you mean "cat /proc/version" i suppose <--- klingen ;-)
[12:28] <barongas> Warbo cool, unless I manage it in rooted nautilus I'll give it a shot
[12:28] <Sivik> LjL, man /proc/version works as well
[12:28] <Tonren> Hey guys, has anyone experienced some trouble getting amaroK to load in a timely manner?  It takes 10 - 15 seconds to boot up for me.
[12:28] <CarlFK> ljl: looking good: The following NEW packages will be installed:  vmware-player-kernel-modules-2.6.15-25  The following packages will be upgraded:  vmware-player-kernel-modules
[12:28] <LjL> Sivik: ouch, you're right. quite an unorthodox way of doing it though :D
[12:28] <Sivik> LjL: oh well
[12:28] <_xxx_> *sigh* thanks anyway
[12:28] <barongas> Nautilus pulled it off, thanks all once again
[12:28] <Warbo> barongas: I like using bind since I have bound "/windows/My Documents" to "/home/rob/My Documents" for someone to make things simple
[12:28] <Sivik> LjL: it works the same, so why does it matter?
[12:28] <SonicChao> Tonren, that isn't long.
[12:29] <SonicChao> Tonren, just wait
[12:29] <LjL> _xxx_: didn't you get Ubotu's message?
[12:29] <Tonren> SonicChao: Folks in #amarok say it takes less than two seconds for them.
[12:29] <_xxx_> No LjL
[12:29] <Warbo> _xxx_: Google?
[12:29] <yallaman> sivik: a lot of other qmail related stuff there..but not the qmail itself
[12:29] <barongas> Warbo, nifty. I might do that once I get windows up and running
[12:29] <LjL> !tell _xxx_ about repos
[12:29] <SonicChao> Tonren, why is 15 seconds a problem?
[12:29] <snozle> does someone know what the default printer command is?
[12:29] <LjL> _xxx_: please check your private messages
[12:29] <_absolution_> google is not my best friend today
[12:29] <smotts2002> EOAH
[12:29] <smotts2002> LATA PEOPLE
[12:29] <LjL> !caps
[12:29] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[12:29] <_xxx_> Ok LjL
[12:29] <smotts2002> lol
[12:29] <IrIT_> Hmm, i can't start monodevelop because i don't have gtk+ 2.4. What is the package for that?
[12:29] <smotts2002> sry
[12:30] <SonicChao> smotts2002, do you have any problems?
[12:30] <Warbo> LjL: Don't you now need to be registered to recieve PMs, or is that just sending?
[12:30] <Tonren> SonicChao: Well, it certainly doesn't compare in gravity to gas being $3.25 a gallon, but when I hit the amaroK button, I'd like to listen to music now, not in fifteen seconds.
[12:30] <LjL> Sivik: it probably doesn't, but still you'll have to admit it's very weird. when i said that i assumed you meant *cat*, it was because i had actually no idea that "man" would work
[12:30] <gnomefreak> Warbo: both unless you set unfilter on iirc
[12:30] <snozle> I'm trying to print from acropat reader but when I go to print it doesn't have a list of the printers but instead a command can someone help me?
[12:30] <Sivik> yallaman: yeah i don't see it either
[12:30] <_xxx_> Thanks LjL I'll check that out
[12:30] <Tonren> SonicChao: I wouldn't be so curious about it if I didn't nkow that it booted much faster for most other folks.
[12:30] <LjL> Warbo: that's just sending. anyway that's not important with Ubotu
[12:31] <CarlFK> ljl: looks like it is all good now.  I thank you, and the other 2 people on ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com that are also having this problem better thank you :)
[12:31] <SonicChao> ok Tonren i thought that was the norm. X_x
[12:31] <Sivik> LjL: thats cool, and then i just though it was wierd that you said that it was unorthdox method
[12:31] <C|1> (15:19:06) ubotu: i'm back again it still for some reason says i dont have permission to access the files even after i ran did what was described on the site u provided.
[12:31] <mog_> hey, how do i check whether i am using madwifi as my wifi driver, or madwifi-ng?
[12:31] <SonicChao> Tonren, same thing on my system
[12:31] <smotts2002> sonicchan: nah im chillin im downloadin ubuntu server right now gunna throw away fedora
[12:31] <gnomefreak> 1freenode
[12:31] <gnomefreak> !freenode
[12:31] <Whatsi> hmm still not really working
[12:31] <ubotu> freenode is the IRC network that you're on! See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml
[12:31] <gnomefreak> Warbo: ^^^
[12:31] <Tonren> SonicChao: Naw - I mentioned above, #amarok reports that it can load in less than 3 seconds or so
[12:31] <erUSUL> snozle: it is allright. if you have oly one printer click on print and everything will work
[12:31] <Warbo> gnomefreak: I was just wondering since someone wasn't getting an ubotu message
[12:32] <gnomefreak> Warbo: the bot can pm anyone
[12:32] <SonicChao> Ok Tonren, try asking other people, there are many helpful people in this channel ^^
[12:32] <snozle> erUSUL: it didn't work
[12:32] <Tonren> SonicChao: Aye.  I just hate to troll the same phrase repeatedly.
[12:32] <_absolution_> does ndiswrapper work on ubuntu?
[12:32] <yallaman> is there another easy-to-setup mail server for newbie? any advices?
[12:32] <Sivik> Warbo: so what am i still doing wrong
[12:32] <h3sp4wn> yallaman: exim is pretty simple (if you read the docs
[12:32] <erUSUL> snozle: did you configured a printer via System>Admin>Printers?
[12:32] <Sivik> _absolution_, yes
[12:32] <LjL> Sivik: well you'll have to admit that man *is* intended to browse manpages and not to view textfiles =)   anyway, "uname -m" could also be another handy option
[12:32] <Tonren> _absolution_: Absolutely.
[12:33] <Warbo> Sivik: Can you try pasting your xorg.conf somewhere?
[12:33] <png> is there any way to upgrade from warty to dapper?
[12:33] <Warbo> !pastebin
[12:33] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[12:33] <Sivik> LjL, oh well, but that works as well
[12:33] <snozle> erUSUL: yes, but now after I've installed updates and restarted my computer the printer doesn't work from any app, not just adobe
[12:33] <Warbo> png: In stages
[12:33] <Sivik> Warbo: i can't i'm in console
[12:33] <Tonren> Hey guys, has anyone experienced some trouble getting amaroK to load in a timely manner?  It takes 10 - 15 seconds to boot up for me, but apparently it shouldn't take more than 2 or 3 seconds.
[12:33] <CarlFK> _absolution_: yes - ndiswrapwer works with ubuntu
[12:33] <png> Wanderer, warty - hoary - breezy -daaper ?
[12:33] <Sivik> Warbo: well, wait a minute, i might be able to get it with this computer via ssh
[12:33] <Warbo> Sivik: If you have FTP access somewhere then maybe you can use that, or else try to use the "vesa" driver to get X up
[12:33] <bbrazil> png: yes
[12:34] <CarlFK> Sivik: if you can ssh, you can also scp
[12:34] <snozle> erUSUL, when I try to go to system>adiministration>print it tells me that the cups server can not be contacted
[12:34] <Sivik> CarlFK, i know that
[12:34] <_absolution_> ah
[12:34] <Sivik> CarlFK, or sftp as well
[12:34] <snozle> erUSUL, and I've been printing for a while
[12:34] <snozle> on the same computer
[12:34] <erUSUL> snozle: try sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
[12:34] <harryv> i tried reading, no luck - whats the unstable/testing repo?
[12:34] <Tonren> I definitely just read "sftp" as "stfu".
[12:34] <LjL> Tonren: just took 9 seconds for me. i'm not sure what makes you think that "apparently it shouldn't take more than X seconds". it clearly depends on quite a handful of factors..
[12:35] <hyphenated> Tonren: amaroK takes 8 seconds to load for me. it'll take longer the more tracks you have, I expect.
[12:35] <snozle> erUSUL, no, that didn't work
[12:35] <Tonren> LjL: I'm sure it does.  I've been asking around in amaroK.  It's certainly not an issue of life or death, I'm just curious as to whether or not I can quicken it.
[12:35] <Whatsi> hmm I wonder why umask=555 isn't giving read & execute permissions
[12:35] <LjL> harryv: we aren't debian. the repos aren't arranged that way
[12:35] <RandolphCarter> Whatsi: it's subtractive
[12:35] <Warbo> AmaroK should load quicker on KDE than GNOME, since all of the servers and stuff are already going
[12:35] <erUSUL> snozle: error msgs? somthing in the logs?
[12:35] <RandolphCarter> Whatsi: it's a mask ;) try 222
[12:35] <bbrazil> Whatsi: that's exactly what 555 does, do you mean 111?
[12:35] <CarlFK> Tonren: even if you can, it will proably not be worth the effort
[12:35] <bbrazil> Whatsi: s/111/222/
[12:35] <Tonren> hyphenated: I don't think it depends on te quantity of your tracks... I switched from the usual database to the MySQL database (which is supposed to be much quicker) with no change in speed.
[12:35] <snozle> erUSUL, the only error message I get is "can't connect to CUPS server"
[12:35] <Tonren> CarlFK: That is probably true.
[12:36] <snozle> erUSUL, it won't even let me go into the printer configuration
[12:36] <snozle> could it be a bad updated package?
[12:36] <LjL> CarlFK: how's it evolving?
[12:36] <Tonren> Warbo: That's a really good point... I didn't think about that at all.
[12:36] <erUSUL> snozle: i mean when you issued the comand i gave you
[12:36] <Whatsi> weak
[12:36] <Whatsi> yeah, 222 works
[12:36] <CarlFK> ljl: looks like it is all good now.  I thank you, and the other 2 people on ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com that are also having this problem better thank you :)
[12:36] <someothernick> i'm trapped in KDE. help plz
[12:36] <snozle> erUSUL, oh, when I issued that command nothing came up it just went to another command prompt
[12:37] <Warbo> Tonren: AmaroK is probably the most bloated program in common use (unneeded bloat that is). Have you tried Rhythmbox, Banshee or Listen?
[12:37] <LjL> CarlFK: be sure you remember - and remind them, too - that if you have a repository (such as multiverse) enabled, you should definitely enable it in dapper-security (and possibly dapper-updates) as well
[12:37] <snozle> erUSUL, should I try restarting the computer?
[12:37] <Flannel> someothernick: what?
[12:37] <tich> does anyone know how long before someone responds to a bug report? i filed one about a month ago and haven't heard anything.
[12:37] <someothernick> i need to delete something.
[12:37] <CarlFK> ljl: yup - felling kinds silly now for letting that happen
[12:37] <someothernick> where is the trah?
[12:38] <Warbo> tich: It depends how easy it is to reproduce, and once that has been done, how critical it is
[12:38] <someothernick> *trash
[12:38] <Tonren> Warbo: Rhythmbox has so few features that I actually started weeping while I tried to use it.  I dimly recall trying Banshee, but don't remember if I liked it or not.  I've never heard of Listen.
[12:38] <hyphenated> Tonren: well, add the fact that it has 70 dynamic libraries to load and initialize as well, and it's going to take a while
[12:38] <WarOfAttrition> Is there a way to install ubuntu the old way, without going into livecd?
[12:38] <Flannel> someothernick: what?  just delete it, hit delete on your keyboard
[12:38] <erUSUL> snozle: but it said somthing like Restarting Comm.... done or fail, didn't it?
[12:38] <Flannel> WarOfAttrition: Alternate CD
[12:38] <Warbo> someothernick: ~/.Trash and .Trash-username in any other media (like USB sticks)
[12:38] <spikeb> WarOfAttrition: yes, use the alternative cd
[12:38] <snozle> erUSUL, nothing
[12:38] <Tonren> hyphenated: Wow.  It really IS bloated.  Too bad there's no way to turn off all the extra junk I don't use.
[12:38] <Sivik> Warbo: i'm working on it
[12:38] <WarOfAttrition> oh great
[12:38] <_xxx_> I asked shipit for Dapper CDs the start of June, how long are the requests taking at this busy time?
[12:38] <CarlFK> WarOfAttrition: alternate-CD
[12:38] <Sivik> _xxx_ probably a month
[12:38] <WarOfAttrition> Well the livecd doesn't work
[12:39] <LjL> CarlFK: well, it wasn't so incredibily obvious what was going on. i don't think you've been particularly silly
[12:39] <Sivik> _xxx_, did you try downloading it yourself?
[12:39] <dli> _xxx_, depends on where you are
[12:39] <_xxx_> Thanks Sivik
[12:39] <someothernick> Warbo: i tried but its empty. but i sent stuff to it. O.o
[12:39] <WarOfAttrition> it freezes when pressing forward on selecting the install points
[12:39] <_xxx_> dli I'm in UK
[12:39] <CarlFK> ljl: you are too kind.  you should be beating me with a stick :)
[12:39] <Sivik> Warbo: pastebin is being slow
[12:39] <erUSUL> snozle: try sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys start
[12:39] <tich> warbo, i guess i would just like to know how long before i can burn a dvd-r, a month seems like a long time.
[12:39] <Warbo> AA! Hang on, I just got a message that / is 98% full. Be back in a minute!
[12:40] <dli> _xxx_, I suppose you filled in a wrong add :)
[12:40] <snozle> erUSUL, same thing, i'm goint to try to restart the computer, I'll be back on in 5 minutes and I'll let you know if it worked
[12:40] <Sivik> why is patebin being so bloody slow
[12:40] <WarOfAttrition> I dont know why the livecd replaced the now alternate when it doesn't install
[12:40] <dli> _xxx_, kidding, it took like 1 month to canada
[12:40] <Sivik> !pastebin
[12:40] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[12:40] <_xxx_> dli I checked my shipit info yesterday, it is right
[12:41] <Sivik> Warbo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16662
[12:41] <_xxx_> Maybe I'm impatient
[12:41] <CarlFK> ljl: cow?
[12:41] <dli> _xxx_, yes, for urgent needs, you can always download the iso images, and burn cd
[12:42] <Warbo> OK, 80% that will do. Sivik I'll have a look
[12:42] <_xxx_> dli unfortunately I can't do that, bad net connection
[12:42] <Whatsi> thanks dudes
[12:42] <klingen> finns det ngon svensk hr?
[12:42] <_xxx_> dli i think i gotta learn to be patient
[12:43] <dli> _xxx_, you may bring a laptop to a net-cafe
[12:43] <snozle> erUSUL, same problem after restart
[12:43] <Sivik> Warbo: thanks
[12:43] <CarlFK> bb soon
[12:43] <_xxx_> dli, hmm I never thought of that
[12:43] <snozle> won't even let me open printer preferences
[12:43] <gilligan_> hi
[12:44] <Sivik> Warbo: do i need to install xdm or gdm or something like that?
[12:44] <Warbo> Sivik: The only things that I am wary of in there are the "dri" and "GLcore" in Modules, and the PCIBus of your video card (but I am guessing that you needed to put that)
[12:44] <gilligan_> can someone tell me how to get German umlauts with a us keyboard layout ? I tried some solutions in find via google, but nothing worked for me
[12:44] <Sivik> ok
[12:44] <dli> _xxx_, I guess it takes 1 hour to download the 700MB iso
[12:44] <Sivik> Warbo: the PCIbus was necassary it its right
[12:44] <snozle> erUSUL, all I did was update my packages and now I've encountered this
[12:44] <Warbo> Sivik: They make X start at boot, but if X is broken then they will not start. startx or X should come up without them
[12:45] <_xxx_> dli, thanks I'll give it a go tomorrow
[12:45] <Sivik> startx won't work
[12:45] <Sivik> command not found
[12:45] <Warbo> gilligan_: Check in Accessories, I think there is a tool for special characters
[12:45] <WarOfAttrition> oh well it had a good run
[12:45] <dli> Sivik, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[12:46] <dli> Sivik, or, reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[12:46] <erUSUL> snozle: something is preventing cupsys to start. do a tail -f /var/log/syslog in a terminal and from another try again sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
[12:46] <Sivik> dli: don't it twice
[12:46] <Sivik> dli: and i have reinstalled the xserver-xorg twic
[12:46] <Sivik> twice*
[12:46] <Sivik> dli: all it does it come up with a grey/black screen with my mouse in the middle, i can move the mouse around, but there isn't anyhting else here
[12:47] <snozle> erUSUL, nothing showed up in the logs
[12:47] <dli> Sivik, that's a good sign, X is working, but gnome not
[12:47] <newbuntu> im using shh server to move files over from my home comp to my girlfriends, and man is it slow. I got it working but its like 3 kb/s speed max
[12:47] <snozle> when I issued that command nothing at all came up in the logs
[12:47] <newbuntu> over cable
[12:47] <Sivik> dli: i didn't install gnome, it screws up
[12:47] <Warbo> Sivik: I think you need to comment out the dri stuff for nvidia driver, and I think the GLCore as well (I don't think that is used in the last few releases). You need to uncomment glx in Modules for nvidia driver but that is all I can see that may be wrong.
[12:47] <Dial_tone> does compwiz/xgl use alot of video card ram?
[12:48] <dli> Sivik, I suggest you to reinstall ubuntu-desktop, and rm ~/.gconf* ~/.gnome* , you will lose all your customizations by doing so
[12:48] <snozle> erUSUL, is there a way that I can reinstall the drivers or something?
[12:48] <Sivik> dli: gnome isn't installed
[12:48] <Warbo> Dial_tone: I find it is OK with a 64MB GeForce2. No lag or anything
[12:48] <Sivik> dli: how do i go about reinstalling the ubuntu-desktop
[12:48] <Sivik> dli: i don't think its installed currently
[12:48] <erUSUL> snozle: you can try to reinstall cups and related packages if you like
[12:48] <Dial_tone> thanks, warbo
[12:48] <dli> Sivik, sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop
[12:48] <Warbo> Sivik: ubuntu-desktop package is a metapackage which depends on GNOME and other applications
[12:48] <snozle> erUSUL, alright, let me try that and I'll let you know how it goes
[12:49] <Sivik> Warbo, should i try and install it
[12:49] <Api984> hello
[12:49] <dli> Dial_tone, Xgl runs on my 32mb nvidia card
[12:49] <Api984> i need one tip
[12:49] <Warbo> Sivik: You could try, but I doubt it would fix an X problem. The only packaging that would affect it is xserver-xorg and xserver-xorg-core (the package which contains the actual files for Xorg)
[12:49] <Sivik> dli: i don't want to install gnome
[12:50] <dli> Sivik, what do you use?
[12:50] <cius> !xgl
[12:50] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems

[12:50] <Sivik> dli: currently, console
[12:51] <Sisyphus> how can i onen command prompt with rt click?
[12:52] <dli> Sivik, ok, you need to set up ~/.xinitrc
[12:52] <Sivik> onen?
[12:52] <Sisyphus> i  am new to ubuntu
[12:52] <Sivik> dli: how do i do that?
[12:52] <AJR1> Sisyphus off WM?
[12:52] <dli> Sivik, you use xdm I suppose
[12:52] <Warbo> Sisyphus: "sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal && killall nautilus"
[12:52] <Sisyphus> !!!!!
[12:52] <ubotu> I know nothing about !!!!
[12:52] <Sivik> i have no clue if its installed or not
[12:52] <Sisyphus> great m8!
[12:52] <AJR1> lol @ ubot
[12:52] <h3sp4wn> Sivik: Do yo use entrance ?
[12:52] <Sisyphus> the most quick answer... great
[12:52] <Sivik> h3sp4wn, i'm not using e17
[12:53] <AJR1> upon install of ubuntu how am i meant to config wifi?
[12:53] <Sivik> AJR1, what kind of card?
[12:53] <AJR1> wont recognise automatically didnt off live cd so im assuming install is same
[12:53] <Sivik> AJR1, what kind of card
[12:53] <Sivik> dli: how do i tell what i have installed?
[12:53] <AJR1> Sivik its a usb adapter
[12:53] <AJR1> NetGear W111T
[12:53] <Sivik> AJR1, did you search the ubuntu forums
[12:54] <Sivik> AJR1, there doesn't seem to be anyone in here that can help you
[12:54] <dli> Sivik, you need to install enlightenment first, of course
[12:54] <AJR1> Sivik for what exactly?
[12:54] <Sivik> dli: its already installed
[12:54] <Sivik> AJR1, the card
[12:54] <involved> I'm having a problem with Firefox+FlashVideo when playing music with rhythmbox.. I will only have sound on the video if I start Firefox after closing rhythmbox... why is that and how can i fix it, so that I can have both things "giving" me sound?
[12:54] <Api984> netwg11
[12:54] <Api984> use NDISWRAPPER
[12:54] <Sisyphus> i copied and pasted the command you told me but cant find any package with that name
[12:54] <AJR1> Api984 cant use NDISWRAPPER without having net active on ubuntu
[12:54] <Sivik> involved, does your sound anywhere else?
[12:55] <WarOfAttrition> n/m I got it to work, I just did sudo ubiquity. There is something wrong with the install link on the live cd?
[12:55] <Sisyphus> nautilus-open-terminal
[12:55] <dli> Sivik, put a line of " exec /usr/bin/enlightenment " in your ~/.xinitrc
[12:55] <Sivik> ok
[12:55] <Api984> what active
[12:55] <Warbo> Sivik: If vesa works then it has to be a driver problem (not a file problem or anything) if nv doesn't work then maybe get rid of DRI, GLcore and GLX. If nvidia doesn't work get rid of GLcore and DRI and keep GLX. That's all I can really say, sorry
[12:55] <AJR1> Api984 my wireleess usb adapter
[12:55] <involved> Sivik: humm.. yes... with totem I get both sounds.. (rhythm+totem)
[12:55] <Api984> you need it to install it
[12:55] <dli> Sivik, after that try to restart xdm, and login
[12:55] <Api984> install drivers, modprobe, iwconfig, ifconfig
[12:55] <AJR1> Api984 yeah but i cant use ndiswrapper as it doesnt come with the ubuntu install
[12:55] <Api984> dmesg to see if wlan0 works
[12:56] <Warbo> involved: It is a problem with Flashplayer, it uses the old OSS. If you want it fixed then complain to Adobe (good luck with that)
[12:56] <Api984> IT DOES
[12:56] <AJR1> Api984 really?
[12:56] <Api984> yup
[12:56] <Api984> 1.08 version
[12:56] <Api984> what version
[12:56] <AJR1> Api984 ok can you tell me how to config?
[12:56] <Api984> i have 6.06 LTS
[12:56] <Api984> yes
[12:56] <involved> Warbo: so there's no fix? I have to close firefox, close rhythmbox and then reopen? :S
[12:56] <AJR1> Api984 yeah 6.06 no idea if LTS though
[12:57] <Api984> ok
[12:57] <Flannel> there is only one 6.06
[12:57] <Api984> private messaging ok
[12:57] <relix> I can't get my wifi working on dapper with all the same files which used to work on breezy :s
[12:57] <Api984> so i can help you more quicker
[12:57] <AJR1> Api984 ok .. msg me
[12:57] <AJR1> Api984 thankyou :)
[12:57] <AJR1> gotta love the ubuntu community
[12:57] <relix> In particular: wpa_supplicant cries several times "Operation not supported"
[12:57] <relix> I'm using ipw2200
[12:57] <Api984> do u see the msg??
[12:57] <relix> anyone has ideas how to solve this?
[12:58] <Warbo> involved: Yup. Maybe using Gnash would help, but a) It doesn't support every Flash feature yet, 2) It goes slow when too much is going on and 3) I have never tried it inside Firefox myself (also, you need to enable MP3 support when you compile it, since it is disabled by default). http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash
[12:58] <Api984> AJR1 do u see my msg
[12:58] <erUSUL> !wifi > relix
[12:58] <AJR1> Api984 nope m8 :(
[12:58] <WarOfAttrition> when installing on different partitions with windows still in the main one, grub will detect windows and include it, right?
[12:58] <Api984> try and message me PVT

[12:58] <Api984> i am running gaim
[12:58] <Warbo> WarOfAttrition: Should do. It uses a simple text config file anyway, so it is easy to add
[12:59] <AJR1> Api984 error 505 private messages are blocked to unregisterd users bla bla bla
[12:59] <Api984> i got msn

[12:59] <AJR1> Api984 added
[12:59] <Warbo> involved: Same thing happens with most commercial programs (probably to make sure they are supported on any Linux system, even old OSS ones) and even stuff like Audacity
[01:00] <Api984> message me
[01:00] <Api984> or type me your msn
[01:00] <AJR1> Api984 cant see you, add ... akernan20@hotmail.com

[01:16] <involved> Sivik: it's to play a flash video..
[01:16] <Sivik> involved, then you need to install the flash-player-nonfree to get it to flash in FF
[01:16] <deit> How do I fix a system that's using the ATI fglrx drivers but gives "BadMatch" when I try to run fgl_glxgears?
[01:16] <Sivik> deit, what kind of ati card?

[01:18] <deit> thanks
[01:18] <Sivik> deit: yw

[01:19] <Sivik> michelp, don't know if thats possible, try DSL
[01:19] <Sivik> michelp, or use a live cd
[01:19] <Sivik> michelp, do you have a cd-rom driver?
[01:19] <Sivik> michelp, do you have a hd?  what do you mean by diskless system?
[01:20] <Speek> I just burned the iso on a DVD+R and it doesnt boot
[01:20] <Speek> :(
[01:20] <Sivik> SpeeK then you didn't do it right, did you burn it as data or as an iso image?
[01:20] <zinner> aynone who could help me with a "makefile"?
[01:20] <Speek> image
[01:20] <Sivik> zinner: whats the problem?
[01:20] <Sivik> Speek: was it the dvd image or the cd image?
[01:20] <RandolphCarter> Speek: the only burner I've found that can stick normal ISO's on a DVD and make 'em boot okay is Nautilus (from within Ubuntu)
[01:20] <Speek> dunno
[01:21] <RandolphCarter> Speek: nero just can't handle it :/
[01:21] <Speek> I used Ashampoo
[01:21] <Sivik> RandolphCarter, it doesn't like iso images above like 2 gb
[01:21] <spi> Anyone might tell me about a good infomatics newspaper site?
[01:21] <acid-trip> can some one post the link for LAMP For me please
[01:21] <Speek> When i double click my dvd drive it shows up ubuntu and it has these options to install software
[01:21] <Sivik> spi: what is infomatics?
[01:22] <spi> Sivik: computer science...
[01:22] <zinner> need to get a program work to start the radio on my wifi..  but get error 2 when i run make
[01:22] <eobanb> informatics is not the same as computer science.
[01:22] <Sivik> zinner, what kind of wireless card?
[01:23] <involved> I've DONE IT!
[01:23] <involved> all you need to do is start firefox as "aoss firefox"
[01:23] <involved> :\
[01:23] <spikeb> sweet
[01:23] <spi> eobanb: no ? exactly what's informatics?...
[01:23] <acid-trip> !tell lamp
[01:23] <ubotu> I know nothing about tell lamp
[01:23] <spik> How do I move ubuntu -> kubuntu without re-installing AND getting that nice Kubuntu boot screan?
[01:23] <eobanb> spi, it's the study of information.
[01:23] <zinner> its a broadcom on a amilo
[01:24] <eobanb> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informatics
[01:24] <Sivik> zinner: 4318?
[01:24] <Speek> I got PC (Intel x86) desktop CD
[01:24] <zinner> yep
[01:24] <Sivik> Speak: ok
[01:24] <eobanb> spi, computer science is a related, but not identical field
[01:24] <spik> How do I move ubuntu -> kubuntu without re-installing AND getting that nice Kubuntu boot screan?
[01:25] <Speek> Why will it not boot?
[01:25] <Sivik> spik: you should just be able to install kubuntu ontop
[01:25] <Sivik> Speek, maybe cause you used a dvd instead of a cd
[01:25] <Speek> :(
[01:25] <spik> and get kdm, and the kubuntu boot screen?
[01:25] <Speek> Use a CDR?
[01:25] <spi> eobanb, ok thks. Do you know a good technology newspaper site?
[01:26] <Sivik> spik: you can install kdm by doing sudo apt-get install kdm, and then install sudo apt-get install kubuntu and there shouldn't be a problem
[01:26] <eobanb> newspaper site? not exactly, no.
[01:26] <Speek> Do I use teh CDR?
[01:26] <Sivik> Speek, yes
[01:26] <Speek> thanks
[01:26] <Sivik> Speek: yw
[01:26] <Speek> I'll retry
[01:26] <spik> Sivik
[01:26] <eobanb> spi, it's more of a question for #ubuntu-offtopic anyway
[01:26] <Sivik> spik: yes
[01:26] <spik> Sivik, thank you very much
[01:26] <Sivik> spik: yw
[01:26] <spik> how do I remove Ubuntu then>
[01:26] <zinner> sivik: yes its a 4318
[01:27] <Sivik> spik: you don't need to remove it, kubuntu will kinda install over it
[01:27] <spikeb> wow
[01:27] <involved> now that's stupid! you don't need to start firefox as "aoss firefox"... you just have to set FIREFOX_DSP="aoss" in /etc/firefox/firefoxrc.... I was setting it in mozilla-firefox/mozilla-firefoxrc
[01:27] <spik> actually how do I remove GNOME, but not any of the applications?
[01:27] <spikeb> spik is too close to my nick :(
[01:27] <Sivik> zinner: have fun, i can't ever get my radio to work
[01:27] <spikeb> involved: heh
[01:27] <Sivik> spik: sudo apt-get remove gnome
[01:27] <spik> alright Sivik
[01:27] <spik> thank you

[01:28] <Sivik> what kind of make error?
[01:28] <zinner> make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.15-25-386/build: Ingen slik fil eller filkatalog.  Stop.
[01:29] <Sivik> zinner: i have no clue what that says, what lang. s that?
[01:29] <Sivik> is*
[01:29] <Sivik> zinner: is that german?
[01:29] <Sivik> !german
[01:29] <ubotu> I know nothing about german
[01:29] <michelp> Sivik, sorry about the delay, by diskless i meant no hard disk, its a laptop with the hd taken out and a ide->cf adapter put in its place with a 512mb flash card
[01:29] <michelp> but no cdrom
[01:29] <Sivik> michelp, not sure you can install a os to that
[01:30] <Sivik> michelp, you could try damn small linux
[01:30] <zinner> norwegian..  it says no such file or directory
[01:30] <michelp> i was hoping to run the installer on a machine with a cd and a cf reader, install the cd onto the cf, and then boot the cf in the other laptop
[01:30] <Sivik> zinner: did you sudo apt-get install build-essential?
[01:30] <michelp> Sivik, ah yes, dsl, that's an idea.  i like ubuntu though ;)
[01:30] <Sivik> michelp, i don't think it will install that small
[01:30] <h3sp4wn> mihelp: You could do that if you were careful - You can strip down a debian etch base system to 150mb
[01:30] <scorchblade> does the server install CD not install Xorg/Gnome/KDE by default?  I tried it, and got to the command line, no xorg to be found anywhere, but was never presented with the option afaict
[01:31] <LjL> CarlFK: yes, cow. try "apt-get moo" (sorry for the late answer)
[01:31] <h3sp4wn> scorchblade: Why do you need X on a server ?
[01:31] <michelp> Sivik, i read somewhere the min was 250mb, but maybe that was an older version
[01:31] <Sivik> scorchblade, no, it does not install x
[01:31] <CarlFK> LjL:  wow - better late than never ;)
[01:31] <Sivik> michelp, you could try debian
[01:31] <scorchblade> thank you, Sivik.  that wasn't clear from the download page
[01:31] <Sivik> scorchblade, its just command line based
[01:31] <zinner> doing in now, i'll try it out.
[01:31] <Sivik> ok
[01:32] <Sivik> zinner: go to #bcm-users, they might be able to help more
[01:32] <Sivik> if anyone is ever alive in there
[01:32] <Sivik> other than me
[01:32] <scorchblade> I may not want to run the GUI all the time, but I wasn't sure whether it failed to install because of something about the machine, or some choice I failed to make  or what
[01:32] <LjL> CarlFK: i had gone out in the street to feed a baby kitten that's been meowing around for some nights :)
[01:32] <Sivik> scorchblade, no, it doesn't install a gui
[01:32] <CarlFK> LjL: I have two of those that now spend more time in the house than out :)
[01:33] <scorchblade> fwiw, "server" does not automatically mean "no gui" to me
[01:33] <IsDis4Me> greetings, for some reason the application tracker in the upper right corner of the desktop that keeps GAIM available on all screens isn't htere anymore
[01:33] <zinner> sivik: what do i do with the makefile.  just make or make && make install?
[01:33] <IsDis4Me> how do I get it back?
[01:33] <spi> eobanb sorry for my insistence, but have you you one preferred site to read latest news of information technology?
[01:33] <Sivik> zinner: try make && make install
[01:33] <Sivik> zinner: i don't think that will work
[01:33] <konfuzed> is there some way to export a pdf as an html file? what is there for editing existing pdf files
[01:33] <Sivik> zinner: did you install the new firmware for the bcm43xx cards?
[01:34] <Sivik> via bcm43xx-fwcutter in the /lib/firmware folder?
[01:34] <scorchblade> (thanks; now I can stop digging around to find what I missed on the server install :))
[01:34] <eobanb> spi, i dont know, slashdot.org i guess? if you have any more questions ask in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[01:34] <Sivik> scorchblade, yw
[01:34] <spi> eobanb ok, thks
[01:35] <zinner> sivik: ?
[01:35] <IsDis4Me> any thoughts?
[01:35] <Sivik> zinner: make && make install for the second time
 zinner: try make && make install
[01:35] <CarlFK> LjL: nice cow :)
[01:36] <zinner> tried that, but howto with the firmware?
[01:36] <Sivik> use http://www.nuevascreaciones.com/drinus/airport/wl_apsta.o
[01:37] <nox_> Hey
[01:37] <Sivik> install bcm43xx-fwcutter via apt-get
[01:37] <angry_candy> hello?  do i need to register to post on this channel?
[01:37] <Sivik> and then bcm43xx-fwcutter wl_apsta.o into the /lib/firmware channel
[01:37] <Sivik> angry_candy, apparently not
[01:37] <qwe> just double-checking- if I have a recent p4 with em64t I want the amd64 version, right?
[01:37] <involved> I found a better solution for firefox+flash+rhythmbox.... one ln -s, one mkdir and one touch! incredible! ;)
[01:38] <nox-hand|Ubuntu> I have installed Slackware Linux, as I wish to have Ubuntu for my default desktop, and Slackware to play around with. But, I need to add SlackWare Linux to my GRUB setup. Is there a way for me to do this automaticly, or can I get some help?
[01:38] <Sivik> nox-hand|Ubuntu, you can edit yourself, via menu.lst in the /boot/grub folder
[01:38] <angry_candy> thanks sivik.  i read that ubuntu partition manager can only partition a single drive.  not sure how old this info is.  anyone know if this is still true?
[01:38] <zinner> sivik:  ok, but i dont think its the driver that's the problem.  its more of getting the radio to transmit.
[01:38] <nox-hand|Ubuntu> Sivik, Indeed, but I know not what to add =/
[01:39] <Sivik> zinner: try holding down the button for like 5 seconds and then run the iwlist scan again
[01:39] <Sivik> nox-hand|Ubuntu, let me pastebin mine and you can see
[01:40] <nox-hand|Ubuntu> Sivik, I already dualboot XP and Ubuntu if that helps? And Slack root is on /dev/hdb5
[01:41] <zinner> no scan results..  thats what the makefile is for..  its supposed ti install a module for the kill switch for the radio
[01:41] <Sivik> zinner: i didn't have to do that
[01:41] <Sivik> nox-hand|Ubuntu, not sure what the slack needs to look like, see if you can find a slack example
[01:41] <Sivik> zinner: i just hold the button down for a few seconds after i do a ifconfig eth1 up and it will scan
[01:41] <Sivik> but now i just can't get a ip address
[01:42] <nox-hand|Ubuntu> Sivik, Cheers
[01:42] <Sivik> nox-hand|Ubuntu, sorry
[01:42] <zinner> u got a a series?
[01:42] <Sivik> zinner: what do you mean a series?
[01:42] <zinner> amilo A
[01:42] <Sivik> zinner: what company, i have a compaq
[01:42] <nox-hand|Ubuntu> Sivik, No, thanks for trying :)(
[01:42] <Sivik> zinner: no, i have a compag v2000
[01:42] <nox-hand|Ubuntu> :)*
[01:42] <Sivik> nox-hand|Ubuntu, ok
[01:43] <Speek> I burned it on a CD and it did the same thing
[01:43] <zinner> This project is a Linux Kernel 2.4/2.6 module/console program for changing wireless radio status on Fujitsu Siemens AMILO A1655G laptop.
[01:43] <Aeo> I'm having difficulties installing the Flash plugin for Firefox
[01:43] <Sivik> Speek, then apparently your not doing it right, try using k3b
[01:44] <Speek> k3b?
[01:44] <hav0k_> does anyone use cedega?
[01:44] <Sivik> hav0k_, #cedega
[01:44] <Aeo> I've tried using > sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[01:44] <Sivik> Speek: what os are you burning the disc from?
[01:44] <thrice`> I have a keyboard with shortcuts built in (volume, play, etc.) how can I reconfigure them?
[01:44] <zinner> The Amilo A1655G don't use a only-hardware switch, it need
[01:44] <zinner> a software driver that making calls to turn the radio off/on.
[01:44] <Speek> K3B?
[01:44] <hav0k_> Sivik, is that on this server?
[01:44] <Sivik> Speek: its burning software
[01:44] <Sivik> hav0k_, yes
[01:44] <Aeo> I'm told it's already the newest version
[01:44] <nox-hand|Ubuntu> Sivik, I think I got it. Rebooting, will let you know.

[01:45] <Sivik> Speek: use nero
[01:46] <MusicEatingPanda> !sound juicer
[01:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about sound juicer
[01:46] <MusicEatingPanda> o.o
[01:46] <MusicEatingPanda> !info sound juicer
[01:46] <ubotu> Package sound does not exist in dapper
[01:46] <thrice`> i guess I can't
[01:46] <Speek> What about : CDBurnerXP Pro?
[01:46] <MusicEatingPanda> Hey how do i edit a profile in sound juice to make it rip in MP3
[01:46] <Pitersburgs> MusicEatingPanda: first, install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse from universe/multiverse
[01:47] <Pitersburgs> then
[01:47] <MusicEatingPanda> ooOoooo lotta work
[01:47] <thrice`> no, 1 command
[01:47] <ZERO-69> hola alguien habla espaol?
[01:47] <Speek> @ Sivik what about : CDBurnerXP Pro
[01:47] <angry_candy> ZERO-69, un poco -- que pasa?
[01:48] <Sivik> Speek: that works as well
[01:48] <Sivik> Speek: thats better, i'm just not sure how to use it
[01:48] <ZERO-69> sabes si ahi algun canal de ubuntu de chile
[01:48] <MusicEatingPanda> Pitersburgs im in breezy i only got 0.8
[01:48] <CientificoDesvel> [  hello every body.." ] ------`,'.-
[01:48] <Speek> @ sivik it said on the ubuntu site to use it
[01:48] <Sivik> Speek, thats cool
[01:48] <Sivik> Speek: just make sure you burn it as an iso image and not data
[01:49] <Speek> ok
[01:49] <CientificoDesvel> [  I have a laptop hp pavilion and I want to install linux on it. so I have choise Ubuntu but I have heard it is bad cause it is for desktop, what can you say about it.? ] ------`,'.-
[01:50] <angry_candy> STAINBOY: specificamente de chile, o simple en espanol?
[01:50] <CientificoDesvel> [  I have a laptop hp pavilion and I want to install linux on it. so I have choise Ubuntu but I have heard it is bad cause it is for desktop, what can you say about it.? ] ------`,'.-
[01:50] <deit> Ok, I've confirmed that this ATI card is supported for accelerated 3D via both the free drivers and fglrx, but neither will give it. In the case of the free drivers, it complains that the XFree86-DRI extension isn't loaded despite having 'load "dri"' and 'load "glx"' in my xorg.conf.
[01:50] <Sivik> !nvidia
[01:50] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:50] <CientificoDesvel> [  I have a laptop hp pavilion and I want to install linux on it. so I have choise Ubuntu but I have heard it is bad cause it is for desktop, what can you say about it.? or I should download xubuntu.." ] ------`,'.-

[01:50] <polpak> CientificoDesvel, it works well on laptops. stop spamming
[01:51] <bsdirl> question, I got an error message when trying to run anything with root priviledges, even though I type the correct passwd.
[01:51] <blacktears> what made you all switch to linux?
[01:51] <CientificoDesvel> [polpak]  [  whic one I need to download.." ] ------`,'.-
[01:51] <bsdirl> "Terminated + child status", or something.
[01:51] <deit> Sivik: I'd rather get DRI working on the free drivers.
[01:51] <bsdirl> I did the 'expert' install on breezy, and don't feel like reinstalling.
[01:52] <Sivik> deit: that was for me, not you
[01:52] <deit> ahh, ok
[01:52] <polpak> blacktears, windows crappy licensing
[01:52] <Sivik> deit: i'm trying to remember what i need to install to get it to work correctly for my nvidia
[01:52] <polpak> blacktears, and linuxes security features
[01:53] <nickrud> lack of transparency
[01:53] <blacktears> the o/s in itself is a secruity feature
[01:53] <blacktears> linux i mean
[01:53] <polpak> blacktears, also, I find linux to be far more customizable than windows which is a nice bonus
[01:53] <tich> i have some data dvds that were burnt using XP and XP can read them but ubuntu can't. how do i get them to read on my computer?
[01:53] <blacktears> same here
[01:54] <polpak> !tell tich about dvd
[01:54] <polpak> !dvd
[01:54] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html. Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[01:54] <tich> polpak, thanks i'll check them out.
[01:55] <CientificoDesvel> [polpak]  [  so I need to download wich one?? ] ------`,'.-
[01:55] <Zarephath> Greetings...Anyone suggest a package that is a web interface for display, and data entry to a mysql database...Not looking for PHPmyAdmin as this AFAIK only is a web interface to create and edit the database...not a clear cut solution to be able to go to a web page and query, etc...
[01:55] <polpak> CientificoDesvel, get the normal install cd
[01:56] <CientificoDesvel> [polpak]  [  oneday I had ubuntu brezzy on my lap the lan unfixed .. ] ------`,'.-
[01:56] <Sivik> what does "xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"." mean
[01:56] <CientificoDesvel> [polpak]  [  but where can I get it.? ] ------`,'.-
[01:56] <t4ken> with linux how much should you worry about hackers and stuff like that
[01:56] <polpak> CientificoDesvel, www.ubuntu.com
[01:56] <CientificoDesvel> [polpak]  [  I can download the dvd." ] ------`,'.-
[01:56] <Zarephath> Sivik: Means that acceleratoin for you video is not working...
[01:56] <Zarephath> What does glxinfo tell you Sivik?
[01:57] <CientificoDesvel> [polpak]  [  wich one should I download Ubuntu or Xubuntu.."?? ] ------`,'.-
[01:57] <Sivik> Zarephath, all it says is that error
[01:57] <Sivik> but i installed the nvidia-glx stuff
[01:57] <polpak> t4ken, you pretty much only have to worry if you host services from your system. And even then you should be generally ok so long as you keep your software up to date
[01:57] <ryanakca> does anybody have a (non-mesa, fglrx...) working /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 that they could send me?
[01:57] <polpak> CientificoDesvel, ubuntu
[01:57] <Zarephath> So then something is not correctly configured for your video card...
[01:57] <CientificoDesvel> [polpak]  [  why.?? ] ------`,'.-
[01:57] <polpak> CientificoDesvel, because
[01:57] <Sivik> Zarephath, no joke
[01:58] <Zarephath> Sivik: Did you follow the wiki? It has always worked for me to get my nvidia working...
[01:58] <Sivik> yes
[01:58] <t4ken> so if i just use it like a normal computer i should be okay?
[01:58] <polpak> t4ken, yep
[01:58] <t4ken> cool
[01:58] <Sivik> i installed the linux restricted modules and the nvidia-glx
[01:59] <CientificoDesvel> [polpak]  [  why ubuntu and not xubuntu..? ] ------`,'.-
[01:59] <Terminus> Sivik: you've run "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable" already?
[01:59] <t4ken> whats xubuntu?
[01:59] <Zarephath> Sivik: You could try dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver or whatever...I have seen other fix the problem this way...
[01:59] <Sivik> Terminus, didn't hlep
[01:59] <Terminus> t4ken: ubuntu base with a xfce DE.
[01:59] <Sivik> Zarephath, i'm not doing that
[01:59] <polpak> CientificoDesvel, why don't you go to the website and read what each one is.. then you can answer your own question
[01:59] <t4ken> lost me
[01:59] <polpak> t4ken, don't worry about it.
[01:59] <t4ken> xfce DE?
[02:00] <neutrinomass> !xubuntu > t4ken
[02:00] <Sivik> Zarephath, i don't want to delete a whole bunch of shit out of it that it put in there about a /dev/wvcam that i don't even tell it to do
[02:00] <Terminus> Sivik: what does "lsmod|grep nvidia" give you?
[02:00] <CientificoDesvel> [polpak]  [  I have made it but I have conffuising." bout it.." ] ------`,'.-
[02:00] <polpak> CientificoDesvel, then just use ubuntu
[02:00] <polpak> CientificoDesvel, it's not a life or death decision
[02:00] <t4ken> cool ive seen it i forgot what it was called though
[02:00] <Sivik> nvidia    3711364    0
[02:01] <t4ken> so many different ubuntu's
[02:01] <polpak> !language > Sivik
[02:01] <neutrinomass> t4ken: "Linux" is the base system. You also get a "desktop environment" (DE) with it, the desktop. There's plenty of choice. Xubuntu comes with XFCE, which is a desktop environment :)
[02:01] <Sivik> agpgart     32328   1 nvidia
[02:01] <Sivik> but its not a agp card
[02:01] <Sivik> polpak, eat me
[02:01] <CientificoDesvel> [polpak]  [  yeah near to. because I use 80 gb of information and pass it it is not easy.. ] ------`,'.-
[02:01] <polpak> Sivik, no thanks
[02:01] <Sivik> CientificoDesvel, you don't have to put the []  around it
[02:01] <Terminus> Sivik: oh, it's not agp? sorry. i have no experience with that.
[02:01] <t4ken> thank you neutriomass
[02:01] <PseudoPlacebo> Hi- I spent a long while yesterday (more than 4 hours) attempting to install various flavors of *nix on my computer. My HD is a 160GB- in the first 50GB I had windows, and then I had a second free space which I let Ubuntu auto-partition as a desktop machine (root partition, extended patition->home partition/swap).
[02:01] <Sivik> Terminus, it shouldn't be picking it as as agp
[02:01] <neutrinomass> t4ken: No problem :)
[02:01] <PseudoPlacebo> I tried Ubuntu three times (dapper).
[02:02] <PseudoPlacebo> As well as Debian.
[02:02] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, whats the problem
[02:02] <polpak> CientificoDesvel, half of the the things you say don't make sense
[02:02] <t4ken> remember im a hardware person
[02:02] <PseudoPlacebo> I'd get Grub error 18.
[02:02] <PseudoPlacebo> ANd 17.
[02:02] <t4ken> software is over my head
[02:02] <CientificoDesvel> [Sivik]  [  what?? ] ------`,'.-
[02:02] <PseudoPlacebo> 17 originally, before I partitioned away the Windows.
[02:02] <Sivik> CientificoDesvel, you don't need the []  around names and []  around the info
[02:02] <PseudoPlacebo> And when I put Linux in the first sectors/partitions.
[02:02] <PseudoPlacebo> THen I got error 18.
[02:02] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, what do those errors read, numbers don't help
[02:03] <sysdoc> does the bot have an entry for adding multiverse repo?
[02:03] <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik: Well, it doesn't give me an error message. But it so happens that I know what they mean.
[02:03] <Sivik> !repo
[02:03] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[02:03] <CientificoDesvel> [polpak]  [  I work with 80 gb of information and it is no easy make backup of it. ] ------`,'.-
[02:03] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, good for you, then whats going on?
[02:03] <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik: Hold on a second, smarty-pants I'm getting to it. :)
[02:03] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, if you know what the problem is, fix it
[02:03] <sysdoc> Sivik, thank you!
[02:03] <t4ken> okaym
[02:03] <t4ken> okay
[02:03] <Sivik> sysdoc: yw
[02:03] <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik: I'm not attempting to insult you.
[02:03] <PseudoPlacebo> i'm just continuing the sentence.
[02:03] <t4ken> im switching completely over to linux
[02:03] <t4ken> from windows
[02:03] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, i know, but if you know what the problem is, just fix it
[02:03] <Sivik> t4ken, good for you
[02:03] <polpak> t4ken, welcome
[02:04] <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik: Well I obviously don't.
[02:04] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, ok, what do the errors mean?
[02:04] <neutrinomass> t4ken: Congrats. If any problems arise, you can always pop in here for help!
[02:04] <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik: Well I looked it up.
[02:04] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, ok
[02:04] <t4ken> what should i format the windows partition as?
[02:04] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, is missing the initrd for one, i think thats the 17
[02:04] <PseudoPlacebo> Let me copy+paste.
[02:04] <Sivik> t4ken, you could leave it as it is and access it from ubuntu
[02:04] <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik: Yeah, I saw that. So I just got rid of my windows partition.
[02:04] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, no
[02:04] <t4ken> how?
[02:05] <t4ken> please?
[02:05] <Sivik> t4ken, when you install the os, make sure the windows partition has a mount place
[02:05] <PseudoPlacebo> But then I got error 18 when the Linux was all by itself in a partition.
[02:05] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, pastebin your menu.lst from /boot/grub
[02:05] <t4ken> right now im dual boot
[02:05] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, i will help you after i see it
[02:05] <t4ken> windows/linux
[02:05] <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik: I can't get access to it.
[02:05] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, why not?
[02:05] <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik: Because it won't boot?
[02:05] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, you can get access to it in the terminal
[02:05] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, command line
[02:05] <angry_candy> anybody, i got 4 scsi drives on this box & want to load ubuntu server -- is sees the 4 drives, but only loads onto one of them.  how can i get it to use all 4?
[02:06] <Sivik> cd /boot/grub and then sudo vi menu.lst
[02:06] <t4ken> sivik, how do i access the windows partition?
[02:06] <Sivik> t4ken, what do you mean access?  you mount it?
[02:06] <polpak> !ntfs
[02:06] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[02:06] <Sivik> t4ken, that works as well
[02:06] <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik: Well, I erased the partition anyway.
[02:06] <PseudoPlacebo> I formatted the drive actually.
[02:06] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, just pastebin the menu.lst and i will help you get into ubuntu
[02:06] <CientificoDesvel> [polpak]  [  ok ] ------`,'.-
[02:06] <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik.
[02:07] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, thats what the problem is right
[02:07] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, yes
[02:07] <CientificoDesvel> [polpak]  [  where are you from?? ] ------`,'.-
[02:07] <PseudoPlacebo> Read above?
[02:07] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, boot into recovery mode
[02:07] <PseudoPlacebo> ...
[02:07] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, there should be that option in the grub menu if you hit esc when it says to change the grub
[02:07] <PseudoPlacebo> [20:06:34]  <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik: Well, I erased the partition anyway.
[02:07] <PseudoPlacebo> [20:06:49]  <PseudoPlacebo> I formatted the drive actually.
[02:07] <deit> How do I enable the SSH daemon on an Ubuntu system?
[02:07] <Quellism> Apparently
[02:07] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, then what is the problem?
[02:07] <Quellism> You guys are fucktards
[02:07] <livingdaylight> why is it there are 670 people in #ubuntu and only 26 in #mepis?
[02:07] <Quellism> Because Truth says so
[02:07] <Sivik> Quellism, eat shit and di
[02:08] <Quellism> Bye fucktards :)
[02:08] <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik: Well I installed it multiple times.
[02:08] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, what is your problem?  ok, reinstall it
[02:08] <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik: I've done that THREE or FOUR times.
[02:08] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, then once you do that, load into recovery mode, and i can tell you how to get into ubuntu
[02:08] <PseudoPlacebo> ...
[02:08] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, you can choose a different option to boot into
[02:09] <Sivik> recovery mode is command based and i can help you fix the issue with booting the normal boot
[02:09] <PseudoPlacebo> And since the shitty fucking Dapper espresso won't let me choose Lilo as a bootloader I can't tell if it's Grub or my HD.
[02:09] <t4ken> done
[02:09] <polpak> PseudoPlacebo, what do you expect us to tell you to do? You have nothing on your drive
[02:09] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, its grub
[02:09] <polpak> !language
[02:09] <ubotu> Please watch your langage and keep this channel family friendly.
[02:09] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, if you will reinstall ubuntu, i will be happy to help you fix it
[02:09] <t4ken> cool!!!
[02:09] <livingdaylight> could it be that #mepis is dead because Mepis just works. Ubuntu channel is so busy on the other hand because everyone needs help with this problem or the other
[02:09] <t4ken> how do i make it read and write, is there a way?
[02:10] <Sivik> livingdaylight, maybe it has to do with the fack that maybe mepis is a live cd
[02:10] <neutrinomass> livingdaylight: Please don't troll. You are free to use whatever OS you like.
[02:10] <ToHellWithGA> i'd like to install a metacity theme.  how do i do that?
[02:10] <PseudoPlacebo> There has to be a way to fix my drive without installing the system wrong and then FIXING it.
[02:10] <apokryphos> livingdaylight: #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:10] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, there isn't
[02:10] <polpak> livingdaylight, no, mepis is dead because significantly fewer people use it, and it's a live cd
[02:10] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, if you don't want to fix it, don't install the bloody os
[02:10] <PseudoPlacebo> ...
[02:10] <Sivik> polpak, thats what i just said
[02:10] <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik: What an excellent attitude.
[02:10] <apokryphos> polpak: it's both, actually.
[02:10] <t4ken> hey is there anyway to make a windows partition read and write
[02:10] <newbuntu> is there a good gui for ssh logins? Nautilus keeps crashing on me.. and konqueror opens the terminal
[02:10] <livingdaylight> polpak: ubuntuis also live cd, Mepis live cd also installs as a full os
[02:10] <ToHellWithGA> hullo.  i'm not trolling.  how about installing themes for gnome/metacity?
[02:10] <apokryphos> t4ken: write: no, not really.
[02:10] <h3sp4wn> newbuntu: putty ?
[02:10] <t4ken> damn
[02:10] <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik: Honestly, if I wasn't the kind of person I am, if I was new to Ubuntu I'd be completely turned off to Linux as a whole.
[02:11] <neutrinomass> t4ken: Sorry, you can't write to NTFS partitions ...
[02:11] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, well, you seem to grip about it not working
[02:11] <jrib> ubotu: tell ToHellWithGA about themes
[02:11] <t4ken> oh well
[02:11] <newbuntu> i'll try it
[02:11] <Zarephath> Sivik: Ok don't do it..just install glx and run your card without acceleration...you can always back up the existing xorg.conf file in case something dies...
[02:11] <ToHellWithGA> !themes
[02:11] <ubotu> Find your themes at: http://art.ubuntu.com - http://www.gnome-look.org - http://kdelook.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuEyeCandy
[02:11] <Sivik> Zarephath, but thats doesn't help me, how the hell am i supposed to play tremulous?
[02:11] <ToHellWithGA> !changethemes
[02:11] <t4ken> then could i just delete it so that i have the extra free space?
[02:11] <ubotu> Install gnome-themes (gnome) or go to menu, system settings, appearance (KDE)
[02:11] <apokryphos> t4ken: sure; /msg ubotu partition
[02:11] <newbuntu> i read about KDE ssh-agent but its hard to find
[02:11] <livingdaylight> Sivik: mepis is live cd, but also full os. Ubuntu took the idea and replicated it. with the installer on the ubuntu live cd
[02:11] <t4ken> what format?
[02:11] <t4ken> should i use
[02:11] <vook> I am receiving a message like "HAL failed to connect" at gnome startup.  I recently did a tar backup of a breezy system, then a fresh install of dapper, then a restore of my breezy system, then another dapper install on top of that.  It's working fine I think, I'm just getting this HAL message.
[02:11] <apokryphos> newbuntu: what are you trying to find?
[02:11] <jrib> ToHellWithGA: you can just draq the file you downloaded into the system > preferences > themes dialog window and install it too
[02:11] <nox-Hand> Sivik: it worked :)
[02:11] <Sivik> livingdaylight, ok, but maybe poeple don't use that distro?
[02:11] <neutrinomass> t4ken: If you plan on ditching windows entirely you can copy whatever data you want over to another partition, reformat the windows partition as ext3 (the linux filesystem) and copy the stuff back
[02:11] <nox-Hand> I have to go :| laters!
[02:11] <Sivik> nox-Hand, yw
[02:12] <apokryphos> t4ken: ext3 is good
[02:12] <polpak> livingdaylight, take it to ubuntu-offtopic, and also no one cares
[02:12] <t4ken> ty
[02:12] <livingdaylight> offtopic, ok
[02:12] <livingdaylight> i just wondered why ubuntu has so many problems
[02:12] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, if you would quit getting mad, maybe someone would tell you how to fix it
[02:12] <apokryphos> livingdaylight: feel free to join us there =)
[02:12] <newbuntu> an app that allows you to graphically see your shh login session
[02:12] <livingdaylight> ok
[02:12] <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik: I'm not mad.
[02:12] <PseudoPlacebo> I'm frustrated.
[02:12] <apokryphos> newbuntu: you mean like a GUI FTP client but over ssh?
[02:12] <PseudoPlacebo> Because Windows installs fine, with no trouble, and Linux doesn't. ANd I fucking despise windows and love Linux.
[02:13] <newbuntu> yes !
[02:13] <apokryphos> PseudoPlacebo: language, please.
[02:13] <ToHellWithGA> yay!  thank jrib.  i now have a light pink ubuntu instead of that dull brown
[02:13] <ToHellWithGA> cheers
[02:13] <apokryphos> newbuntu: use Konqueror if you're using KDE, of course :)
[02:13] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, well, we will help you, you have to be able to fix stuff in linux
[02:13] <^richiefrich> PseudoPlacebo whats wrong with the install
[02:13] <newbuntu> nautilus is suppose to do it, and does, but crashes
[02:13] <Sivik> ^richiefrich, its not his install, its his grub
[02:13] <mxl> how can i set the classpath in ubuntu
[02:13] <mxl> hi
[02:13] <Sivik> ^richiefrich, hes having errors with the initrd stuff
[02:13] <newbuntu> konqueror opens the terminal.. is there a way to have it not do thta?
[02:13] <vook> I've done a full dist-upgrade, and reinstalled several packages, including the HAL packages.  Everything seems okay except gnome is bugging me at startup about failing in initialize HAL.  Anyone know what's up with that?
[02:13] <^richiefrich> Sivik then tell him to use lilo
[02:14] <Sivik> ^richiefrich, he doesn't know how to install lilo from the install nor do i
[02:14] <^richiefrich> Sivik  grub doesnt work on all boxes
[02:14] <apokryphos> newbuntu: do this: fish://username@domainname.com
[02:14] <Sivik> ^richiefrich, i know that
[02:14] <PseudoPlacebo> ^richiefrich: Well, the stupid espresso installer won't let me install Lilo.
[02:14] <newbuntu> checking it
[02:14] <vook> I've restarted udev, and the /sys and /proc filesystems seem to be okay.
[02:14] <PseudoPlacebo> Happily, I tried installing Debian.
[02:14] <PseudoPlacebo> With Lilo.
[02:14] <^richiefrich> Sivik well i do u must change it thats all
[02:14] <Ro1> can everyone look at this and post a respnse if you know answer?
[02:14] <Ro1> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1189400#post1189400
[02:14] <apokryphos> PseudoPlacebo: why do you want to use Lilo?
[02:14] <^richiefrich> PseudoPlacebo why not...
[02:14] <PseudoPlacebo> apokryphos...
[02:14] <Sivik> ^richiefrich, its not me thats having the issues, its PseudoPlacebo, and i'm trying to help but hes getting mad
[02:14] <PseudoPlacebo> Because Grub fails?
[02:14] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, your not listening
[02:14] <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik: I've already explained to you that I am not mad.
[02:15] <apokryphos> PseudoPlacebo: it fails to install? How, what's the error? Come on, help us help you.
[02:15] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, your very upset
[02:15] <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik...
[02:15] <Sivik> apokryphos, its not an error in the install, its an error when grub loads
[02:15] <apokryphos> what is it?
[02:15] <PseudoPlacebo> Well.
[02:15] <Sivik> apokryphos, he doesn't want to fix it either, it has to do with not having a initrd
[02:15] <Sivik> error 17
[02:15] <PseudoPlacebo> Sivik: I honestly don't need or want your help. I can handle it myself thank you.
[02:15] <newbuntu> im fishing/..
[02:15] <^richiefrich> PseudoPlacebo  let  me say it like this.. idk the  dapper install but on all other ubunut installs u could change it
[02:15] <Jymmm> what is 6xx? debian untested?
[02:15] <vook> PseudoPlacebo, grub is superior IMO to Lilo.  It's worth putting in the time to make grub work.
[02:15] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, thats what i told you do to a long bloody time ago
[02:15] <apokryphos> PseudoPlacebo: then don't complain in here :)
[02:15] <PseudoPlacebo> vook: I agree wholeheartedly.
[02:15] <mxl> alguien uq ehable espa;ol
[02:16] <Sivik> apokryphos, he doesn't apparently want help
[02:16] <Sivik> !spanish
[02:16] <ubotu> I know nothing about spanish
[02:16] <jrib> !es
[02:16] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[02:16] <newbuntu> awesome thanks a bunch !
[02:16] <^richiefrich> vook grub doent work  on all boxes
[02:16] <PseudoPlacebo> I just tried Lilo to see if it was my drive or if it was the install.
[02:16] <apokryphos> !spanish is <alias> es
[02:16] <ubotu> I'll remember that
[02:16] <PseudoPlacebo> apokryphos: I wasn't dismissing all help.
[02:16] <PseudoPlacebo> apokryphos: Originally I had a windows partition, and free space.
[02:16] <newbuntu> apokryphos  thanks!
[02:16] <PseudoPlacebo> I let the Ubuntu installer auto-partition it.
[02:16] <PseudoPlacebo> And install it there.
[02:16] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, i don't understand why your getting upset about my help
[02:17] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, i hope no one helps you
[02:17] <PseudoPlacebo> Grub found my windows installl.
[02:17] <sysdoc> lol
[02:17] <PseudoPlacebo> All is a-okay until I boot.
[02:17] <Jimmyjimmy> I'm trying to back up my data onto CDs. What program should I be using?
[02:17] <apokryphos> Sivik: please stop
[02:17] <Sivik> PseudoPlacebo, yes, and i told you, that you can enter recovery mode and fix it
[02:17] <^richiefrich> PseudoPlacebo well do u have a live cd
[02:17] <vook> ^richiefrich, I trust your statement.  I've heard of people needing to resort to lilo.  I think almost always though there is a way to make grub work, and it's worth the extra time it takes to do so.
[02:17] <Sivik> apokryphos, well he is being a son of a bi$#h
[02:17] <carl_> q
[02:17] <SAM_theman> yo people I can't view images form this site on firefox
[02:17] <PseudoPlacebo> ^richiefrich: I do.
[02:17] <matthew_W> I have a problem; I have a Nokia phone that needs DRM enabled MP3s to be used as ringtones; is there a prog for Ubuntu or linux in general that will add DRM protection to an AAC or MP3 file?
[02:17] <vook> note I say almost
[02:17] <SAM_theman> And i need them
[02:17] <SAM_theman> http://www.suurland.com/blueprints_archive.php
[02:17] <Sivik> SAM_theman, its probably a server issue, their end
[02:17] <t4ken> i formated a windows volume and now it says it isnt mounted
[02:18] <t4ken> how do i mount it
[02:18] <PseudoPlacebo> apokryphos: That's a little uneccesary.
[02:18] <PseudoPlacebo> In my opinion.
[02:18] <kbrosnan> SAM_theman, http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_don%27t_load
[02:18] <^richiefrich> vook no not all... i had many grub issues
[02:18] <polpak> PseudoPlacebo, people should keep a civil tone in here.
[02:18] <PseudoPlacebo> Yeah, this computer traditionally didn't boot Grub, but 5.06 booted Grub fine.
[02:19] <t4ken> how do i mount the new partition
[02:19] <vook> ^richiefrich, ok, fair enough.  I have too actually.
[02:19] <polpak> t4ken, what did you format it as?
[02:19] <^richiefrich> vook that wont use grub right
[02:19] <vook> ^richiefrich, ?
[02:19] <PseudoPlacebo> In any case, I had a windows partition, and let the Ubuntu installer auto-partition the remaining space.
[02:19] <sysdoc> PseudoPlacebo, did you try just reinstalling grub by itself?
[02:19] <PseudoPlacebo> sysdoc: What do you mean?
[02:20] <sysdoc> PseudoPlacebo, you can boot to the CD and just reinstall grub
[02:20] <t4ken> well tried to format it as ex2 or 3 and it keeps saying its ntfs when i exit the disk manager
[02:20] <Jimmyjimmy> How should data back-up be done with Ubuntu?
[02:20] <sysdoc> That would be my first stab at it
[02:20] <PseudoPlacebo> sysdoc: Well I reinstalled the whole system multiple times.
[02:20] <newbie5555> t4ken, did you rite the changes to it
[02:20] <Jack_Sparrow> SAM I can see them with the standard install of Ubuntu
[02:20] <t4ken> ???
[02:20] <vook> ^richiefrich, I'm not interested in boot loader debate.  I just like grub, tab filesystem completion, direct access to the /boot partition at bootup.
[02:20] <sysdoc> PseudoPlacebo, ok sorry to butt in then
[02:20] <apokryphos> newbie5555: avoiding a ban is a very quick way to get a permanent ban.
[02:20] <PseudoPlacebo> sysdoc: It's a-okay.
[02:20] <t4ken> what do you mean
[02:20] <PseudoPlacebo> I appreciate all help.
[02:21] <cherwin> PseudoPlacebo: If you searched more on google you would find the answer of your problem soon enough
[02:21] <PseudoPlacebo> I just don't like it when people condescend to me or repeat things I've already explained.
[02:21] <PseudoPlacebo> cherwin: Naw, I checked it out.
[02:21] <PseudoPlacebo> The only answers were on a Gentoo forum and didn't really help me.
[02:21] <boga> But what I need is some help on Linux! Any link?
[02:21] <sysdoc> PseudoPlacebo, ya know you can caue the boot loader from windows to boot Linux
[02:21] <apokryphos> boga: with what specifically?
[02:21] <PseudoPlacebo> sysdoc: Really?!
[02:21] <cherwin> boga: http://www.tldp.org
[02:21] <PseudoPlacebo> sysdoc: That would be best, imo.
[02:21] <sysdoc> Sure see the wiki and search bootloader
[02:22] <bobmcd> Help please:  ubuntu 5.10 when I try to access system updates, networking, others that ask for my password for sudo, they simply don't run.  auth.log shows this: localhost sudo (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost=  user=bo
[02:22] <boga> apokryphos: sorry! I intended to post on ruby!
[02:22] <PaulCbu> hi there, i was wondering if someone could help me out with a wireless lan problem
[02:22] <t4ken> well i just formated it with the disks manager as ex3 now what do i do?
[02:22] <boga> apokryphos: can you help on the sound lag I experience on Google Video videos?
[02:23] <PaulCbu> hi there, i was wondering if someone could help me out with a wireless lan problem
[02:23] <t4ken> yeah
[02:23] <apokryphos> t4ken: mount it; edit your /etc/fstab and add an entry for it, use then use the additional space
[02:23] <cherwin> is it me or is everybody that is asking a question on this channel lazy?
[02:23] <tvgm2> Does anyone know the command to get the xgl/compwiz settings gui?
[02:23] <sysdoc> PseudoPlacebo, U may have to search around the wiki but google may be a faster search
[02:23] <PseudoPlacebo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[02:23] <PseudoPlacebo> That looks like it could be helpful.
[02:23] <PseudoPlacebo> I'll skim and check back.
[02:23] <t4ken> how do i mount it?
[02:23] <PseudoPlacebo> Thanks.
[02:23] <sysdoc> PseudoPlacebo,  there ya go
[02:24] <thrice`> is there a way to record a movie ?
[02:24] <PaulCbu> hi there, i was wondering if someone could help me out with a wireless lan problem
[02:24] <thrice`> I want to do a screenshot, but movie
[02:24] <boga> PaulCbu: shoot!
[02:24] <angry_candy> anybody, if i want to mirror drives on U server, do i config the mirroring before or after loading U?
[02:24] <bobmcd> not lazy here, just confused.  point me in a direction and I am sefl sufficient... ^^
[02:24] <PaulCbu> oh thanks boga
[02:24] <cherwin> t4ken: c'mon man just read the manual.. mount -t ext3 /dev/hdX /mnt/<mount_point>
[02:25] <PaulCbu> i've just setup ubuntu on a new machine and tried setting up the driver for my msi 11/g
[02:25] <PaulCbu> tried the open source ralink
[02:25] <cherwin> bobmcd: which password do you use? you have to use the same password as your login...
[02:25] <boga> U mean Ubuntu did not see auto magically?
[02:25] <PaulCbu> the make and make install goes well without errors but
[02:25] <PaulCbu> but still doesn't show ra0
[02:26] <bobmcd> cherwin: I used the password of the user created when I installed.  Password should be OK, I got logged on and all...
[02:26] <boga> I thought u'd be looking for ath0?
[02:26] <PaulCbu> really?
[02:26] <PaulCbu> why' s that?
[02:26] <boga> did you say wireless?
[02:26] <PaulCbu> yes
[02:26] <boga> if so, look for ath0
[02:26] <t4ken> what should i put as mount point?
[02:27] <angry_candy> does anybody know how i can install clippy on my gnome?
[02:27] <PaulCbu> there isn't one
[02:27] <PaulCbu> ath0 doesn't show up
[02:27] <cherwin> bobmcd: that is really odd, I never experienced such a thing so I think you have to google some more, try to run the programs as root
[02:27] <malv> anyone manage to get vim 7 working with omnisense?
[02:27] <PaulCbu> i've read through the forums and ended up going back to 32bit from ubuntu 64
[02:27] <cherwin> t4ken: what ever you want, just make sure the directory is empty
[02:28] <PaulCbu> what do you think i should do?
[02:28] <boga> tell me,,, is make install successful?
[02:28] <tich> polpak, i checked out those pages that you recommended but the problem isn't playing dvd video but that ubuntu won't even mount the disc.
[02:28] <xenblend> burn your computer
[02:28] <PaulCbu> all i see is sit0, eth0, and the loopback
[02:28] <PaulCbu> yes
[02:28] <^richiefrich> PseudoPlacebo u get your help ?
[02:28] <PaulCbu> as far as i can see
[02:29] <PaulCbu> no errors
[02:29] <bobmcd> cherwin:  yah, I am missing something.  I have seen a pasword error, this isn't it.  I was wanting to change network but it just won't load... Thanks tho.  more digging.
[02:29] <boga> Ohh yes, it could well be sit0
[02:29] <PseudoPlacebo> ^richiefrich: Well. A point in the right direction but not exactly what I'm looking for.
[02:29] <boga> depends on the card
[02:29] <PseudoPlacebo> =\
[02:29] <PaulCbu> oic, but after the driver install it says no wireless extensions
[02:29] <t4ken> its not working
[02:29] <^richiefrich> vook no i agree but i have seen some strange errors on grub.. and lilo is slower
[02:29] <cherwin> bobmcd: np, if you find the solution, please share it with the rest of us :^)
[02:30] <^richiefrich> PseudoPlacebo if u boot to a liveCD and mount your ubunut parts ..
[02:30] <boga> are you doing the `config, make and make install'?
[02:30] <sysdoc> PseudoPlacebo, I'm almost positive that I have read about it in either the wiki or the forum
[02:30] <PaulCbu> even after trying insmod several times, even checked the list lsmod the module is there
[02:30] <bobmcd> cherwin: yep.  Thnks.
[02:30] <^richiefrich> PseudoPlacebo  u can do alot then and test it
[02:30] <cherwin> t4ken: I just told you to read the manual, but you didn't did  you..
[02:30] <PaulCbu> nope only make and then make install
[02:30] <boga> then load it.
[02:30] <cherwin> t4ken: you took /dev/hdX litterly didn't you?
[02:30] <boga> was the driver an archive?
[02:31] <t4ken> no
[02:31] <tich> i have some data dvds that were burnt using and can be read by XP but ubuntu can't. how do i get ubuntu to mount the discs?
[02:31] <PaulCbu> yes
[02:31] <PaulCbu> i got it from serial monkey
[02:31] <t4ken> i figured that when you put hdx the x meant the actuall drive number
[02:31] <PaulCbu> and another one from the ralink download site
[02:31] <t4ken> am i wrong
[02:31] <cherwin> t4ken: ok just do a dmesg, and search for the harddrive that you wish to mount
[02:31] <t4ken> i know which hard drive i want to mount
[02:31] <PaulCbu> i figured it was ralink based on the ndiswrapper list
[02:32] <cherwin> t4ken: it has to be like this, example /dev/hda1
[02:32] <PaulCbu> looking at the pci id
[02:32] <boga> then, if it was an archive, you should do a `./configure' first.
[02:32] <gurumeditationer> Am I the only one that finds the new kernel to be utterly broken?
[02:32] <jvai> yes, i tried to burn a OSx disc, ubuntu wouldnt mount it!
[02:32] <thrice`> yes
[02:32] <t4ken> crap
[02:32] <PaulCbu> oic, ok boga, let me give it another shot.
[02:32] <t4ken> no i forgot how to become root
[02:33] <t4ken> now
[02:33] <disant> sudo -s
[02:33] <thrice`> use sudo
[02:33] <PaulCbu> btw, after that, is the modprobe still necessary?
[02:33] <boga> do this in the directory you extracted the archive.
[02:33] <cherwin> t4ken: hd stands for hard drive, the -a stands for the first drive on the master connector and the 1 stands for the first partition
[02:33] <PaulCbu> or does the make install attach the module automatically on start up?
[02:33] <angry_candy> when doing a `df`, what's the diff between hdX and sdX?
[02:33] <sysdoc> PseudoPlacebo, you there?
[02:33] <Jack_Sparrow> cherwin:  not to mention sd a  for an sata drive...
[02:34] <boga> it might be...situations are different
[02:34] <boga> have you been successful with ./configure?
[02:34] <cherwin> cherwin: I did a lousy job on explaining it but I kinda think that you have to know this already or just read some more basics on linux in general
[02:34] <PaulCbu> ic, ok, so sit0 should be fine?
[02:34] <PaulCbu> that's where i should look right?
[02:34] <apokryphos> angry_candy: hd is normally an actual hard-disk, whereas sd is normally reserved for external devices
[02:34] <apache2> hey I'm having problems upgrading to 2.6.15-25
[02:34] <apokryphos> angry_candy: though sd is also used for SATA disks often these days ,too.
[02:34] <apache2> I'm using lilo
[02:34] <t4ken> i know basic linux
[02:35] <apache2> and no matter what I do when I reboot and run: uname -a, it still says 2.6.15-23
[02:35] <cherwin> Jack_Sparrow: we should not be so eager to spoon feed people.. don't you think?
[02:35] <t4ken> im no expert, but i also havent had to use command line in a long time
[02:35] <t4ken> its a pain in the ass
[02:35] <Jack_Sparrow> I personally think we SHOULD
[02:35] <angry_candy> apokryphos: i have 4 sd's here that seem to correspond to 4 drives.  not sure if they are set up as hw mirrors/raid/etc. ... ?
[02:35] <cherwin> t4ken: I honestly disagree, if you are having problems with mounting drives..
[02:35] <apokryphos> could be
[02:35] <PaulCbu> thanks a lot for the help boga.
[02:35] <cherwin> Jack_Sparrow: why do you think that?
[02:35] <t4ken> well think about something real quick
[02:35] <Jack_Sparrow> We dont want the reputation like #Debian where the ONLY answer is rtfm
[02:36] <t4ken> when you use windows, how often do you have to mount drives using command line?
[02:36] <sysdoc> Jack_Sparrow, lol
[02:36] <t4ken> or mount at all
[02:36] <t4ken> im coming from windows
[02:36] <apache2> anybody? want up update to 2.6.15-25 but I've never used lilo in the past and it doesn't seem to be changing
[02:36] <gurumeditationer> since the new kernel (2.6.15-25-amd64-generic) all my devices have disapeared there isn't even a eth0!
[02:36] <gurumeditationer> Has anyone had this problem?
[02:37] <^richiefrich> PseudoPlacebo  u can do all that then chroot
[02:37] <cherwin> Jack_Sparrow: Yes you got a good point there, but people just have to learn to google stuff up, it will only benifit themselves, because you will see stuff while searching on other subjects that may have your interest. Also knowing how to search for things is a good skill
[02:37] <sysdoc> t4ken, once you set up the mount points in fstab they will auto mount at startup
[02:37] <gurumeditationer> it won't start X.org and I can't do anything because I can't bring up a network interface
[02:38] <tux0010> ever since i updated last night i cannot get the at drivers to work
[02:38] <tux0010> fglrxinfo says the opengl vendor is mesa
[02:38] <tux0010> i am sure i have done everything right
[02:38] <cherwin> t4ken: Yes so? You are using Linux now so please refrain from comparing that.
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Many of the users that come here, as refered by the Ub website are Linux Babies and will ONLY stick with linux if you do spoon feed them.  If the same people come back day after day.. that is a different matter.  Remember we are teaching people used to XP....
[02:39] <t4ken> well, one
[02:39] <t4ken> im not using linux now im trying to
[02:39] <crashzor> i run in trobbel anybody know if there is a way to let remote host or acculy chroot connect to a esddsp server ?
[02:39] <t4ken> without help how could i actually use linux as someone like yourself can?
[02:40] <crashzor> so to work around the sound trobbel sins i don't have hardware mixxing
[02:40] <jvai> shyt, i been using ubuntu for like, a year, & .. i 4got how to use xp
[02:40] <tonyyarusso> t4ken: You can also mount from the Gnome disks utility.
[02:40] <t4ken> ty
[02:40] <tux0010> please can anyone help
[02:40] <gurumeditationer> kernel 2.6.15-25 boot problems: help?
[02:40] <wildman> tux0010: nVidia hardware here, no ATI experience, sorry
[02:41] <cherwin> t4ken: maybe it is because of the free time that I have but I learned Linux from buying books and doing a *lot* of searches
[02:41] <tonyyarusso> t4ken: (As a side note, I actually kind of like being able to unmount things at times, for instance if I have multiple OS installs and want to make sure I'm not messing up another when doing something.)
[02:41] <t4ken> well wouldnt it be easier for someone like myself to learn from a good teacher or do what you had
[02:41] <t4ken> to
[02:41] <crashzor> cherwin, books you don't need same good friend already running linux get you a real end ;)
[02:42] <wildman> t4ken: IMVHO, there's only one "good teacher": you, your imagination, experiment
[02:42] <t4ken> well experimenting as root can lead to lost files
[02:42] <skavenge> hence sudo
[02:42] <t4ken> true
[02:42] <wildman> t4ken: it's more polite if you ask "informed questions", where "informed" usually implies that u've dun some research/experiments 1st
[02:43] <wildman> t4ken: I didn't say experiment wasn't dangerous, did I? ;)
[02:43] <gurumeditationer> kernel 2.6.15-25 boot problems: help?
[02:43] <wildman> t4ken: believe me, you'll mess it up some day, even with lots of experience ;)
[02:43] <wildman> gurumeditationer: shot your Q
[02:43] <t4ken> lol
[02:43] <jvai> lol
[02:43] <gurumeditationer> Upgraded to latest kernel with all other updates on fresh install of dapper
[02:43] <wildman> sounds a bit funny for French-speaking ppl ;)
[02:44] <jvai> thank god for workspaces
[02:44] <wildman> gurumeditationer: yes, and?
[02:44] <gurumeditationer> this kernel 2.5.16-25-amd64-generic is compelety screwed, so is 2.5.16-23...
[02:44] <wildman> gurumeditationer: FYI:
[02:44] <gurumeditationer> It boots but doesn't get very far
[02:44] <cherwin> crashzor: It gets you a real end, I agree with that. But you will never be as good as your friends if you don't explore things for yourself. You learn a great deal of you screw your system over a couple of time when you're experimenting like I did.
[02:44] <t4ken> question why with the disks manager, will it just kinda blink when you hit enable?
[02:44] <Xero> Can someone give me a bit o help?
[02:44] <gurumeditationer> none of the usual files are in /dev no eth0 in particular
[02:44] <wildman> 2.6.15-25-amd64-generic is what uname -r returns here
[02:45] <Xero> For some reason I can't get ubuntu to install on my compy
[02:45] <wildman> Xero: shot your Q :)
[02:45] <wildman> gurumeditationer: so, as you can see I'm running that kernel here w/o pbs...
[02:45] <crashzor> cherwin, i got help seting the stuff up ( did like 5 reinstalls on multipull distro's ) only i get boort we thinks work and i find a way the don't work ;)
[02:45] <wildman> gurumeditationer: dunno what might be happening on your side...
[02:45] <cherwin> Xero: you got something to add to that?
[02:45] <gurumeditationer> well the kernel is responsible for /dev, right? it's a virtual directory
[02:45] <^richiefrich> PseudoPlacebo  u still here man ?
[02:46] <tux0010> crap ati sucks
[02:46] <tux0010> ok fglrxinfo says mesa
[02:46] <^richiefrich> gurumeditationer well yes virtual
[02:46] <wildman> gurumeditationer: somehow it is
[02:46] <^richiefrich> gurumeditationer just like  /proc
[02:46] <biffhero> ok, how does evolution do junk mail filtering?  I keep hitting "file as junk", but don't see anything in the ~/.bogofilter directory.
[02:46] <crashzor> esd seems to look suport if running on a server ( yes i want my sound on a other pc then the progamma ) how do i setup the server side ?
[02:46] <Xero> It says 167 972510]  Buffer i/o error hdc, logical block 357298
[02:47] <t4ken> last mounting question
[02:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Xero... hard drive error
[02:47] <t4ken> Unable to mount the selected volume. The volume is probably in a format that cannot be mounted.
[02:47] <t4ken> thats what i get when i try to access it
[02:47] <cherwin> crashzor: ooh you're dutch, that's why i can't understand what you're saying (ik ben je zin nog aan het ontcijferen ;)
[02:48] <AskHL> tux0010, I think you can specify a driver in xorg.conf
[02:48] <wildman> t4ken: didn't follow you from the beginning, what are you trying to mount?
[02:48] <mwiggins> nyone have their sound just stop working on amd64? everything is config right (worked just fine yesterday) machine rebooted now i get no output, all programs/drivers/mixers are correct, programs play as if they are working
[02:48] <mwiggins> just no output from speakers
[02:48] <tux0010> AskHL:  yea i have - i think it has somethign to do with the symlinking of the mesa libraries
[02:48] <Xero> How is it the hard drive? Is there a way to format it from the CD?
[02:48] <t4ken> well i formated a windows partition with ex3
[02:48] <t4ken> and thats were i am
[02:48] <crashzor> cherwin, sorry my english just sucks ( wat ik probeer tezeggen is het ziet er uit of esd ( sound server ) op een andere pc kan hosten als het progamma maar hoe zet ik de server op zo dat die de connectie aanneemd ? )
[02:49] <wildman> t4ken: geez! :-)
[02:49] <t4ken> ???
[02:49] <AskHL> tux0010, what does it say in the DRIVER entry of the DEVICE section in your xorg.conf ?
[02:49] <wildman> t4ken: u've wiped the data on that partition for sure, after format :)
[02:49] <tux0010> fglrx
[02:49] <wildman> t4ken: and u cannot mount it under linux?
[02:49] <t4ken> no
[02:50] <cherwin> crashzor: Yeah I read about that, but i don't know how to do that either.. hmm let's see what google says ;)
[02:50] <t4ken> thats my problem i dont need the info i want the free space
[02:50] <AskHL> tux0010, which adapter do you have?
[02:50] <wildman> t4ken: u have it already :)
[02:50] <t4ken> the files i mean i just want the free space
[02:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Xero: Did you make the ext3 with windows
[02:50] <t4ken> my point is that i cant access it
[02:50] <wildman> t4ken: and you should be able to do: sudo mount /dev/hdN /mnt_point
[02:50] <UKMatt> does anyone the easiest way to converti iTunes music songs (.m4p i think) into something like a .mp3?
[02:50] <Xero> Jack_Sparrow: no, this is a brand spanking new HD.
[02:50] <t4ken> thats what cherwin said
[02:50] <t4ken> terminal says it isnt there
[02:51] <JamesWC> Hello!!!!
[02:51] <wildman> t4ken: ok, so, let's go a bit back, which kind of disk? where is it connected? which partition?
[02:51] <cherwin> crashzor:  -public       make tcp/ip access public (other than localhost)
[02:51] <tonyyarusso> Hey, any ops that are paying attention (not worth the trigger): I'm talking to Skwid_ in #ubuntu+1, and they're being blocked by a ban although they haven't spoken here in a long time.  The IP is shared with other Bell Sympatico users (Canada).  It was set by ompaul 2 and a half days ago.  Could one of you come to +1 and discuss options with this guy?  The ban in question is *!*@70.53.194.219.
[02:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Xero:  is it the third drive or a third partiton
[02:51] <JamesWC> I am thinking about getting Ubuntu/Kubuntu and had a few questions
[02:51] <t4ken> well its an ata133
[02:51] <wildman> t4ken: kind of disk, something like, 1st IDE ATA drive, on 1st IDE controller
[02:51] <Flannel> t4ken: if you just formatted it as ext3, it's all free.
[02:52] <wildman> t4ken: and u know the dev name for it? like /dev/hdX ?
[02:52] <cherwin> crashzor: use the public switch on the server, you then have to specify on the client which server you want to use
[02:52] <t4ken> hang on ill try and save something in it
[02:52] <Xero> Jack_Sparrow: I have no clue. I am very new to this
[02:52] <JamesWC> Hello?
[02:52] <wildman> hello JamesWC
[02:52] <wildman> JamesWC: shot your Q (again ;))
[02:52] <UKMatt> is there any good music transcoding software for ubuntu?
[02:52] <crashzor> cherwin, i wil give it a try the client can be setup over over xmms hope it works ;)
[02:52] <Flannel> t4ken: hdN# not just hdN, where N is a,b,c,d and # is ... well, the partition number
[02:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Xero, how many drives in the system
[02:52] <cherwin> JamesWC: you really want 666 people to say hello to you?
[02:52] <JamesWC> What is the difference between Ubuntu and Kubuntu?
[02:53] <gurumeditationer> help with : missing devices in /dev (kernel 2.6.15-25-amd64-generic)

[02:53] <wildman> Flannel: yep, I've hit Enter too fast :P
[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> JamesWC:  the desktop gnome vs kde
[02:53] <pdc303> JamesWC: They look different. Read up about what gnome and kde are
[02:53] <JamesWC> OK thank you.
[02:53] <Xero> Jack_Sparrow: there is one HD, and a CD drive, and an A:/ Drive
[02:53] <JamesWC> I'm google those
[02:53] <wildman> JamesWC: www.gnome.org, www.kde.org
[02:53] <UKMatt> jamesWC, Gnome and KDE, they look a little bit different, gnome is more light weight where KDE  tries do add more features you may or may not want, the best way to see what you like is google em and even make a live cd
[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Xero:  and the drive is blank.. or was fresh with nothing
[02:53] <t4ken> well i tried mounting and this is what i got
[02:53] <t4ken>  wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2,

[02:54] <Xero> Jack_Sparrow: Yes, There is nothing on the drive
[02:54] <wildman> t4ken: and the commandline you are trying is: sudo mount /dev/hda2 /mnt_point ?
[02:54] <JamesWC> What is a live cd?
[02:54] <t4ken> [4302022.433000]  NTFS-fs error (device hda2): ntfs_fill_super(): Not an NTFS volume.

[02:54] <cherwin> tux0010: hmm, I don't know how to get it working the ubuntu way.. i actually don't use ubuntu. But you can try it with the executable

[03:00] <Xero> It's a pentium 3 I believe
[03:00] <cherwin> crashzor: I didn't read what you've posted because it wasn't directed to me, anyway's you can specify the port number that you want to use
[03:00] <Xero> Uncompressing again
[03:00] <Jack_Sparrow> So you will need to wait even a little longer

[03:12] <gnomefreak> cherwin: the !ops trigger is not something that you play with its only for needed and using it out of line like that will get you banned

[03:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Xero if it fails the check it is no good as long as you get the same error on a second cd drive
[03:13] <tux0010> damn ubuntu

[03:16] <ubotu> There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. If you are bitten by this, please upgrade your router firmware - see also http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2006-1068

[03:17] <yamen> can I non-destructively reformat my fat32 partition?
[03:17] <bur[n] er> D_dog: .img?  not a .bin & .cue?
[03:17] <Amaranth> D_dog: Go buy the movie instead of downloading it.
[03:17] <martinoc> does anyone know exactly what irqpoll does on boot? Unless I use it I just get "nobody cared" errors and the desktop CD won't boot.
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> d-dog try kb3
[03:18] <carl_> D_dog, cdrecord (and dump the _ from your nic if you want me to address you anymore )

[03:19] <carl_> WebLOCH, yes
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> web yes
[03:19] <yamen> nalioth: OK. "Can I resize my partition?" would have been more accurate
[03:19] <WebLOCH> okay so it will be available under "computer" by default ?

[03:21] <cntb> pls coach me to mount
[03:21] <carl_> cntb, just remember: mount something somewhere
[03:21] <martinoc> why does irqpoll prevent "nobody cared" errors when booting from a desktop cd?
[03:21] <WebLOCH> Jack_Sparrow: yeah i know, i use arch, but a friend needs to recovers omething and ubuntu is the best livecd for them haha
[03:21] <gurumeditationer> help with : missing devices in /dev (kernel 2.6.15-25-amd64-generic)
[03:21] <Jack_Sparrow> nalioth: Have you seen the gparted live cd just for setting up a drive
[03:21] <cntb> k carl also mount point most logical place
[03:22] <carl_> cntb, ?
[03:22] <Xero> It says Mount: function not implemented
[03:22] <pandora--> what package do i have to install to get aclocal?
[03:22] <Xero> Is that good or bad?
[03:22] <ardchoille> Anyone know how to get rid of the ALT+1 key combo that switches between tabs in gnome-terminal? It interferes with switching windows in irssi
[03:22] <cntb> wait will try to mount ntfs
[03:22] <nalioth> Jack_Sparrow: i have, and the Ubuntu LiveCDs have the same functionality (if you have an Ubuntu LiveCd already)
[03:22] <WebLOCH> nalioth: haha what you doing here?  arent you an arch user?
[03:22] <pppoe_dude> ardchoille, try edit>current profile?
[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> xero you should be ok if you get it to boot live
[03:23] <pppoe_dude> ardchoille, or use xterm
[03:23] <martinoc> why does irqpoll prevent "nobody cared" errors when booting from a live cd
[03:23] <ardchoille> pppoe_dude: nothing in there to alter key combo's
[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> nalioth: yes I do.. the other is quick and clean as wel
[03:24] <Xero> Ok, It said Implementing GNOME, and the monitor went black with the non blinking _ on the top left corner
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> 'xero again wait.
[03:24] <Xero> ok
[03:24] <pppoe_dude> ardchoille, xterm + screen >= gnome-terminal tabs
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> xero you may be fighting some read errors as well
[03:24] <Xero> :P Sorry I'm being impatient.
[03:24] <ardchoille> pppoe_dude: xterm is sehr ugly, can't stand to look at it.
[03:25] <Jack_Sparrow> xero it will all be worth it.
[03:25] <spades> ardchoille if you dont use alt keys at all try removing it from mod1 with xmodmap?
[03:25] <pppoe_dude> ardchoille, you can make it look pretty
[03:26] <AskHL> ardchoille, it's not a nice solution but if you hold down ESC then it should be equivalent to alt in irssi
[03:26] <detectiveinspekt> Does ubuntu come with a VNC server by default?
[03:26] <AskHL> ardchoille, I've never noticed by the way, because I never use terminals in tabs...
[03:26] <WebLOCH> detectiveinspekt: yes
[03:26] <pppoe_dude> detectiveinspekt, only a mutt version called vino
[03:26] <pppoe_dude> detectiveinspekt, but you have to install "vncserver" to set up a real vnc server
[03:27] <ardchoille> spades, pppoe_dude, AskHL: found it. gconf-editor /apps/gnome-terminal/keybindings :)
[03:27] <pppoe_dude> ardchoille, cool
[03:27] <yamen> nalioth: thanks a bunch
[03:28] <pandora--> please help, anyone?
[03:28] <pandora--> what package do i have to install to get aclocal?
[03:28] <cntb> carl can you coach me to make an icon of ntfs just mounted?
[03:28] <pppoe_dude> pandora--, try "apt-cache search aclocal"
[03:28] <pandora--> i cant compile enlightenment :( :(
[03:28] <roler> is the vmware-player ubuntu package really vmware, the full version? I'm curious because it's free
[03:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Xero I will be going to dinner in a few.. remember patience and complete questions.. to get the most help from this channel
[03:29] <yamen> ok, i'm running from my LiveCD. How do I access my ext3 partition?
[03:29] <pandora--> pppoe_dude: that returned nothing
[03:29] <pppoe_dude> pandora--, then no packages that mention aclocal in their description are in the repos
[03:29] <Xero> Thamls Jack_Sparrow
[03:30] <Xero> Damn my spelling
[03:30] <Xero> Thanks
[03:30] <Jack_Sparrow> any change in that prompt
[03:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Xero:  I still think you have a bad cd..
[03:30] <scud> is selinux enabled by default on ubuntu desktop?
[03:30] <Xero> It went blank and it's a _ in the corner
[03:30] <detectiveinspekt> tightVNC any good?
[03:31] <yamen> How can I mount my ext3 partition when booting from my LiveCD?
[03:31] <spades> mount -t ext3 /dev/xxx /media/xxx
[03:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Xero: test that cd for errors using a second cd drive
[03:32] <carl_> apt-get source wine - is there a way I can specify verion 0..9.15 (current is 16)
[03:32] <Xero> umm... k
[03:33] <tich> does linux and Xp use different formats for burning CD/DVD's?
[03:33] <pppoe_dude> carl_, i think its --force-version
[03:33] <carl_> tich,  no
[03:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Time for dinner night all...
[03:33] <carl_> pppoe_dude, thanks
[03:33] <cherwin> detectiveinspekt: keep away from all the vnc like apps, if you're not going to make it only available through ssh tunneling
[03:33] <pppoe_dude> i think
[03:34] <pppoe_dude> carl_, easier prolly to do it in synaptic
[03:34] <carl_> pppoe_dude, any idea how I see what versions are avalible? (so I can get the v0 ver0 ver.0... spelling right)
[03:34] <tich> carl_, a data DVD (mp3, avi) burnt on XP should be read on linux
[03:34] <carl_> tich, correct
[03:34] <pppoe_dude> carl_, apt-cache showpkg <package name>
[03:34] <carl_> pppoe_dude, thanks again
[03:35] <pppoe_dude> i thin
[03:35] <pppoe_dude> again... really off the top of my head
[03:35] <pppoe_dude> use synaptic if you want concrete answers
[03:35] <rpedro> carl_: apt-cache policy <package>
[03:36] <carl_> pppoe_dude, I am in synaptic - all I see is .16 .12 .9
[03:36] <tich> i backed up my data when i switched to ubuntu on DVD but now it can't be read. i checked it on a XP machine and the data is fine. what should i do?
[03:36] <cntb> carl ntfs is mounted as root how aabou tcommon user?
[03:36] <rpedro> carl_: use that command I gave. it shows all versions
[03:37] <pppoe_dude> HLM, i did send you a message in ubuntu-c
[03:37] <pppoe_dude> a
[03:38] <carl_> rpedro, by all you mean  .16 .12 .9 ? (cuz thats all I see with apt-cache policy wine)
[03:38] <HLM> pppoe...........did not see any post
[03:38] <pppoe_dude> HLM, u left too early
[03:38] <rpedro> carl_: you probably got .15 from winehg repository, and it was updated to .16, so it's not longer available
[03:39] <HLM> was there from 18:33:39 til 18:36:20
[03:39] <cntb> ubuntu has perfect defaults AFAICS
[03:39] <carl_> rpedro, I want 15 - ah.. so enable the wine repo...
[03:39] <pppoe_dude> HLM, i wasnt monitorin ca at the time... but anyway... doesnt matter ;)
[03:40] <HLM> okay
[03:40] <rpedro> carl_: try browsing the wine repository maybe you can get the package and install by dpkg -i
[03:40] <cntb> carl howto mount  ntfs for regula r user ?
[03:40] <pppoe_dude> [21:37]  <pppoe_dude> hey HLM
[03:40] <HLM> yes
[03:40] <rpedro> carl_: *try browsing with firefox
[03:41] <rpedro> carl_: better yet, search /var/cache/apt/packages for the package version
[03:45] <harisund> Just as netstat can be used to find out open TCP ports, can I find out what UDP ports my machine is listening on?
[03:45] <squidly> harisund: yea netstat -l will show all udp and tcp ports you comptuer is listening on
[03:45] <HellDragon> anyone know a Text Mode Browser ??????
[03:45] <carl_> HellDragon, lynx
[03:45] <rpedro> HellDragon: or links
[03:45] <gilligan_> harisund, lsof -i wors as well
[03:45] <gilligan_> works
[03:46] <HellDragon> thank you
[03:46] <carl_> HellDragon, or wget :)
[03:46] <foxhound> hello all.
[03:46] <harisund>  squidly really? then maybe I am not understanding UDP ports correctly? because I have my machine listening for XDMCP connections, and that is supposed to happen on port 177 UDP .. but nothing is revealed to be open..
[03:46] <foxhound> i have a newbie problem, and i can't find much help for it.
[03:47] <dstyrk> Hi.. He all I'm new to this IRC thing...  Where can I learn all the shortcuts? Key cmds etc
[03:48] <foxhound> dstyrk...
[03:48] <scud> is selinux enabled by default on ubuntu desktop?
[03:48] <harisund> dstyrk what client are you using? also, if you want somtehing in particular do ask and I bet someone will be able to answer it here..
[03:48] <apokryphos> dstyrk: see /msg ubotu freenode
[03:48] <dstyrk> what is that?
[03:49] <dstyrk> I'm using "conversation"
[03:49] <rpedro> !irc
[03:49] <ubotu> irc is Internet Relay Chat - Ubuntu IRC clients: xchat (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/XChatHowto), gaim (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GaimHowto), Konversation (http://konversation.berlios.de/docs/) - Also see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/InternetRelayChat and !guidelines
[03:49] <apokryphos> dstyrk: type it in here

[03:49] <rpedro> dstyrk: goto xchat page, there's a link to an irc guide there
[03:50] <dstyrk> I don't have xchat yet.. I'm getting ready to unstall ubuntu for the first time tom.

[03:51] <snoops> cool beans dstyrk.. used any linux distros before?
[03:52] <dstyrk> Ubuntu live CD about a year ago for a day or two
[03:52] <snoops> it's surprising how slow the live cd's are :/
[03:52] <snoops> that'd be from the warty release?
[03:52] <dstyrk> I am mostly interested because it is different and best of all FREE!!
[03:53] <dstyrk> I like the fact that I can access most programs I may be interested in free.. I thought that was cool.
[03:54] <snoops> I'm using it as a dualboot at the moment, because there are a few applications which are so superior to the equiv windows ones, it's just crazy
[03:55] <niki> i just read at www.linuxgames.com that ATI has released a new driver yesterday for linux....as I am using an ATI card, would it be wise for me to download and install this newer driver to better my performance?
[03:55] <snoops> or possibly break things, knowing ati ;)
[03:56] <niki> thats what i'm afraid of :/
[03:56] <kbrooks> grrr.
[03:56] <dstyrk> Yeah how does that work... I am not a gamer, but can or will any of the "big" games run on a linux platform?
[03:56] <kbrooks> a non-programmer was advised to create a patch :/
[03:56] <niki> well i'm gonna test it out
[03:57] <snoops> dstyrk, the main option is a paid subscription service called cedega
[03:58] <snoops> which I believe has taken a lot of code from wine, then added more, then didn't share the code with the community, and whatnot
[03:58] <dstyrk> How do I address people directly like snoops just did to me?
[03:58] <snoops> 'yourname,' ?
[03:58] <niki> lol
[03:58] <gnomefreak> dstyrk: type their name

[04:16] <snoops> are you installing the 64bit version?
[04:16] <snoops> you'll have annoying flash problems if that's the case.. *waves angry fist at adobe*
[04:18] <dstyrk_> nbjayme:  Good to know.. That is what I thought... Is that because the Unix?
[04:18] <pjfc> thewolf: do you have the alternative CD or the live CD
[04:18] <thewolf> pjfc: no idea, how do I check? The cover says "Version 6.06 LTS"
[04:19] <pjfc> thewolf: I gues you didn't download?
[04:19] <Tefad> i'm trying to boot xubuntu (desktop or alternate) 6.06 on a p3 class machine and it fails; however the same discs work fine on a p-mmx laptop; any ideas people?
[04:19] <snoops> dstyrk one music player I reckon you should check out is amarok.. that app alone is the reason I use linux so much (it's an incredibly cool music player imo)
[04:19] <thewolf> pjfc: nope, my net connection is too slow, so I ordered a CD.
[04:20] <thewolf> (or five of them)
[04:20] <Tefad> last remark was slightly erroneous; the laptop is a p2 366MHz
[04:20] <Tefad> symptom is that the screen goes blank after selecting an item that isn't memtest-related from the initial menu.
[04:20] <pjfc> has anone had problems after upgrading to kernel 2.6.15-25-386?
[04:21] <nbjayme> dstyrk_, there are multimedia codecs that works right out of the box... these are non-proprietary formats .. only time can tell until it will become widely used (Ogg/Ogm).
[04:21] <pjfc> thewolf: what do you see on the screen, just a promt?
[04:21] <thewolf> yeah
[04:22] <harisund> I have a quick question. How do I change xscreensaver (Breezy) or gnome-screensaver (Dapper) settings for the GDM login screen? I want my screen to blank after there has been no activity for 2 minutes at my login screen (GDM)
[04:22] <goose_keeper> hello
[04:22] <thewolf> Sorry, there where some odd characters, and what looked like it could have been a text-mode dialog box
[04:22] <pjfc> thewolf: over my head.  I'm new too, thought I would try to help because I'm not getting much response for my question tonight.
[04:22] <goose_keeper> I am newbie hehehe
[04:23] <thewolf> pjfc: thanks anyhow
[04:23] <pjfc> thewolf: in the alternate CD teh installer is all by way of text based dialog boxes, reminiscent of old DOS apps
[04:24] <GigaClon> the new CD for 6.06?
[04:24] <thewolf> pjfc: yeah, like 5.10, this CD says it has a live cd and installer on it
[04:24] <thewolf> GigaClon: what?
[04:24] <GigaClon> are you installing 6.06?
[04:24] <thewolf> yes
[04:25] <GigaClon> it should start Ubuntu live CD
[04:25] <thewolf> GigaClon: it didn't, just droped me at a console :/
[04:25] <GigaClon> the installation is once you get inside the live portion
[04:25] <harisund> GigaClon not necessarily. There are 3 CDs of 6.06. One is a desktop+Live installer, one is a alternate and one is a server CD
[04:25] <GigaClon> try startx?
[04:25] <thewolf> Mine is the desktop/live one
[04:26] <thewolf> startx: (EE) No devices found.
[04:26] <J-_> I have an error refering to an icon not loading, Details: Icon 'xscreensaver.svg' not found... what should i do?
[04:26] <pjfc> thewolf: the live CD should have an "Install to Disk" menu item under "System" and "Administration" once you get up and running.  The 'Live' CD should load GUI Linux from the CD.
[04:26] <kjs3> Install 5.10, e1000 driver no problems.  Install 6.06, e1000 driver craps out with "e1000_clean_tx_irq: Detected Tx Unit Hang".  WTF?  It's bug 30476 but turning off tso doesn't fix anything.
[04:27] <wildman> nite *
[04:27] <thewolf> GigaClon: you think if I manualy configured X it would work?
[04:27] <GigaClon> maybe
[04:27] <thewolf> and by manualy I mean use some provided utility?
[04:27] <thewolf> I had to manualy configure X under 5.10 too
[04:28] <thewolf> so, is there a command to configure X?
[04:28] <BHSPitMonkey> hi
[04:28] <J-_> I have an error refering to an icon not loading, Details: Icon 'xscreensaver.svg' not found... what should i do?
[04:28] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> anyone got the wine installed with apt-get?
[04:29] <thewolf> J-_: well, you could try telling us when you get that error...
[04:29] <BHSPitMonkey> on a computer that has two gfx cards (one onboard, and another AGP), I think ubuntu (livecd) is running into issues, since the monitor is connected to the AGP card
[04:29] <overridex> how's ubuntu 64?  Just got a new box and not sure if I should go 32 or 64... what's the benefit of 64-bit ubuntu? what's broken compared to 32-bit?
[04:29] <J-_> i get it, i don't know, ever 10 minutes?
[04:29] <BHSPitMonkey> any way to fix this?
[04:29] <J-_> every*
[04:29] <thewolf> J-_: when doing what?
[04:29] <dstyrk> What type of maintence is needed for ubuntu?  Is it like OSx?  If I leave it on will it take care of it's self?  Or so I need to run something like Onyx?
[04:29] <apokryphos> overridex: see the FAQ
[04:30] <J-_> not doing anything, listening to music...
[04:30] <Madpilot> dstyrk, it'll take care of itself, mostly
[04:30] <dstyrk> mostly?...
[04:30] <J-_> heh
[04:30] <thewolf> J-_: what program generates the error?
[04:30] <J-_> no clue
[04:30] <untwisted> Hi all, I've recently had my laptop repaired -- it got a replacement motherboard.  Now my dapper install isn't seeing my wired ethernet port.  I see it in lspci, and find no errors in dmesg, but it just doesn't see it.
[04:30] <Madpilot> dstyrk, "mostly" means "until you break something", in my experience :)
[04:31] <J-_> maybe i can just disable the screensavers
[04:31] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> overridex: im running kubuntu 64 , its sweet , seems a lot faster then then 32bit ,
[04:31] <J-_> heh
[04:31] <someothernick> !ati
[04:31] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:32] <J-_> yeah i was afk, and there must of been 20 icons producing the error :S
[04:32] <thewolf> I can use 'dpkg-reconfigure' to configure X, but I can't remember what to supply it... can anyone tell me?
[04:32] <Hergiswi> HI everyone!
[04:32] <Hergiswi> Q: Why is it my girlfriends vagina inside is HOT after we sex 2x?? it really hot, thou it cant burn.
[04:32] <Hergiswi> Even if i wear a condom, i could feel hotness inside.
[04:32] <Hergiswi> When i place my legs ON her vagina, i felt the hotness outside too. is there any theory why it gets hot? my gf age is 22.
[04:32] <Hergiswi> To all gals out there, is your vagina get hot after 2 rounds of sex?
[04:32] <Hergiswi> Thanks in advance.
[04:32] <overridex> n0ctuRnaL-fieNd: do things like wine still run?
[04:33] <J-_> haha wtf
[04:33] <thewolf> what a strane person
[04:34] <overridex> I guess the real question isn't whether it was running hot, but did he install ubuntu on it?
[04:34] <J-_> yeah, hmm disabling the screensavers might have fixed the error :D
[04:34] <thewolf> J-_: did simply changing the screensaver work>
[04:35] <thewolf> what is the ubuntu wiki site?
[04:35] <snoops> hmm how can I get temporary disable screensaver and power saving when I'm watching a movie on mplayer?
[04:35] <Ro1> !wiki
[04:35] <ubotu> wiki is http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Loads of user-contributed documentation
[04:35] <J-_> not sure.. i'd rather just disable it, i don't have any graphic acceleration installed(shitty system)
[04:35] <thewolf> thanks

[04:37] <overridex> apokryphos: hmm.... i dont' see any mention of 64 vs 32 in the faq, is there a separate faq for 64-bit?
[04:37] <J-_> man, when my ext. hdd worked with ubuntu i was amazed but installed on ntfs hdd.. :S
[04:37] <Tefad> well to install on NTFS all you do is have a giant loopback device
[04:37] <thewolf> so... text-mode browsers?
[04:37] <Ro1> lynx?
[04:37] <J-_> partition rather
[04:37] <Tefad> you can have RW to one file as long as the size doesn't change, eh?
[04:37] <thewolf> Ro1: its not on the CD
[04:37] <Ro1> ok...idk
[04:37] <apokryphos> overridex: it's in the FAQ.. no. 5

[04:42] <mikeLaptop> hello all, what would you recommend to test how well my binary nvidia drivers are working. Normally I'd use glxgears, but ubuntus version doesn't seem to output stats
[04:42] <snoops> and in firefox you can type about:config into the address bar
[04:42] <snoops> and set ipv6 to false
[04:42] <Ro1> ok thanks
[04:42] <mikeLaptop> stuff feels slow, games etc
[04:42] <thewolf> anyone?...
[04:42] <dstyrk_> I was just asking about maintence with linux and my connection was dropped..  Is there an app like Onyx?
[04:42] <mikeLaptop> thewolf, xorgconf X -configure
[04:43] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, glxinfo will also show you
[04:43] <mikeLaptop> thewolf, sorry maybenot
[04:43] <thewolf> mikeLaptop: doesn't exist... :P
[04:43] <mikeLaptop> thewolf, try nvidia-xconfig
[04:43] <mikeLaptop> thewolf, just saw that
[04:43] <Ro1> about the about:config
[04:44] <thewolf> er, for an ati card?
[04:44] <Ro1> i dont see ipv6 anywhere
[04:44] <mikeLaptop> neighborlee, ok one sedc
[04:44] <snoops> mikeLaptop glxgears -printfps
[04:44] <mikeLaptop> snoops, aha ty
[04:44] <thewolf> I know it involves 'dpkg-reconfigure'...
[04:44] <J-_> snoops, made my browser faster as well :D
[04:44] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, you'll see nvidia as the driver and your dr iver version if its working of course
[04:44] <dstyrk_> or do you just run maintence scripts?
[04:44] <neighborlee> snoops, ah so thats the sneaky way into fps again huh lol
[04:45] <snoops> use the search bar Ro1
[04:45] <snoops> well filter bar really

[04:46] <Ro1> i found the ipv6 diable and did that...but its not any faster
[04:46] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> anyone got the wine installed with apt-get?
[04:47] <newbuntu> you need winetools
[04:47] <mikeLaptop> newbuntu, vcdimager i think it's called
[04:47] <newbuntu> wine is easy to get , getting winetools is the trick
[04:47] <Healot> !find wine
[04:47] <ubotu> Found: libwine, libwine-dev, wine, wine-dev, winefish
[04:47] <snoops> but umm Ro1 regarding your crappy speed.. I guess you should check the forums with people whos wireless cards are 802.11g but are only running at 11mbit, instead of 54mbit
[04:47] <newbuntu> google winetools and von hadden
[04:47] <Tefad> why do you need winetools?
[04:48] <mikeLaptop> neighborlee, glxinfo output a ton of stuff, but at the top it's definatly showing that i'm using the binary driver
[04:48] <newbuntu> to make a faewindows directory
[04:48] <thewolf> considering I'm stuck on the install CD, without X, without a browser, without any other way of figuring out how to configure X so I can install Ubuntu, can some kind person look it up for me?
[04:48] <newbuntu> fake windows
[04:48] <Tefad> i see.

[04:51] <vitry> unrar e file.rar
[04:51] <jhoover> chetwin: flash 8 for linux is not out
[04:51] <eugman> Is there a way to do a ctrl+alt+backspace equivalent though terminal commands?
[04:51] <Chetwin> That's gotta be what it is

[04:53] <mikeLaptop> neighborlee, full screen
[04:53] <thewolf> Thats one hell of a long time to stare at text-mode IRC hoping someone has the answer
[04:53] <sysdoc> mikeLaptop, I think that your problem is in the nvidia driver cause the suspend is not handled in the driver
[04:53] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> newbuntu: i cant install wine , i cant even compile it , i kepp getting damn errors

[04:54] <eugman> gksudo gedit in the terminal will do the trick.
[04:54] <alex_> what hall is that?
[04:54] <alex_> is a chat of nerds?
[04:54] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, no wonder
[04:54] <mikeLaptop> neighborlee, ??
[04:54] <WebWiz> is there an install log for the gui installer
[04:54] <newbuntu> delete the folders it makes like .wine before you reinstall
[04:54] <WebWiz> so i know where its hanging
[04:54] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, how did you install the nvidia driver
[04:55] <mikeLaptop> neighborlee, i used the binary in the non-free repo
[04:55] <eugman> J- , You get what you pay for?
[04:55] <ChrisC_> I just upgraded from breezy to dapper, and my beloved Mozilla (not Firefox) is gone.  How can I restore it so that it uses my old profile? (which has a gazillion cookie prefs in it)
[04:55] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, and you issued the command at shell afterwards ?
[04:55] <mikeLaptop> sysdoc, i haven't tried anything with the lid yet
[04:55] <mikeLaptop> neighborlee, no, i just installed it and off i went

[04:55] <sysdoc> mikeLaptop, well when ya ready let me know

[04:55] <newbuntu> what is Edgy?
[04:56] <mikeLaptop> sysdoc, you have everything working ?
[04:56] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, then ctrl-alt-baskspace shold do it..if not just reboot

[05:01] <niki> someone please help....i tried to update to the new ATI driver, and now when i run 'fglrxinfo', i get Mesa, instead of ATI....
[05:01] <untwisted> niki I am having the same troubles
[05:01] <mikere> I've had problems with ATI drivers in the past as well - they are... odd to say the least.
[05:01] <snoops> run what part of it vandit2k7?
[05:01] <vandit2k7> like start the actual service
[05:02] <Paladine> man I hope rivatv manage to get vivo working on the 6600 cards soon
[05:02] <niki> untwisted, i've followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI ....and still the same problem
[05:02] <untwisted> mikere: they suck... and thats being nice about it ;)
[05:02] <thewolf> what is the command to configure X with dpkg-reconfigure?
[05:02] <untwisted> niki: same here
[05:02] <Healot> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:02] <niki> thewolf, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:02] <untwisted> thewolf: dpkg-reconfigure -xserver-xorg
[05:02] <mikere> untwisted, niki: try getting to command line only with X shut down, install the driver and then... damn, I forget what I did next
[05:03] <thewolf> Healot: Thank you so much! I've only been waiting 45 minutes for someone to answer :D
[05:03] <niki> my old driver worked fine...should have stuck with it
[05:03] <wweasel> I have a question: I just installed Ubuntu on this system and I am having a problem I have never seen before (I also have Ubuntu on my main computer, I am converting my mother).  At startup and shutdown splash screens, the screen flashes in the right resolution then goes all weird, with the left side of the screen cut off. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
[05:03] <thewolf> niki, untwisted: I wish you where here before, thanks
[05:03] <mikere> wweasel: you wouldn't happen to be warweasel/warmidget would you?
[05:03] <untwisted> hehe, no prob :)
[05:03] <niki> untwisted, so uh....we're in the same boat....any ideas?
[05:03] <delaney> when using xmms to listen to an audio cd.. it loads up the tracks and such into the playlist.. the time runs ticks away.. but no sound.. volume is up.. it plays mp3 FINE.. any suggestions?
[05:03] <mikeLaptop> well i get better fps
[05:03] <kalosaurusrex> wweasel, sounds like x wasn't configured..perhaps dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[05:03] <mikeLaptop> 2098 frames in 5.0 seconds = 419.425 FPS
[05:03] <mikeLaptop> 2095 frames in 5.0 seconds = 418.885 FPS
[05:03] <mikeLaptop> 2094 frames in 5.0 seconds = 418.697 FPS
[05:04] <mikeLaptop> i think, is that better than the last number i gave?
[05:04] <untwisted> niki: not really.  I've reinstalled the old driver, and then installed the new driver, and then back to the new.  I've tried both the apt-get method and using the ati installer...
[05:04] <mikeLaptop> but now there is a different issue, gdm doesn't let me login
[05:04] <niki> untwisted, me too...i'm on the verge of reinstalling
[05:04] <wweasel> kalosaurusrex: the resolution is fine once I get to the login screen and within the general usage. still think reconfigure x?
[05:04] <untwisted> niki: what happens when you type dmesg?  Do you get any errors?  I get a slew of em, heres my pastebin Hi all, I'm having some ATI driver problems.  The old drivers (8.25.18) worked just fine, but when I install the new ones I get errors in dmesg.  Heres my pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16672
[05:04] <kalosaurusrex> ww:  not sure...honestly.  if it works once you get in..
[05:05] <kalosaurusrex> I wouldn't change it..
[05:05] <untwisted> niki: I doubt reinstalling would help, if anything just reinstall the old drivers :)
[05:05] <mikere> untwisted: might need to change the 'driver' line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf - not sure what to tho
[05:05] <wweasel> well, I would like to be able to see the splash screens
[05:05] <foxhound> hello? can anyone hear me?
[05:05] <thewolf> Healot: thanks, perhaps now I can install 6.06 :)
[05:05] <untwisted> mikere: its changed properly, just not using the driver :-/
[05:05] <kalosaurusrex> fox: I can't.
[05:05] <Healot> untwisted: remove the new packages and revert back to the stock kernel
[05:05] <foxhound> okay, thanks
[05:05] <niki> untwisted, i get something similar to your pastebin
[05:06] <mikeLaptop> any ideas about that?
[05:06] <foxhound> ;)
[05:06] <mikere> untwisted: if the line is there in xorg.conf and the kernel module is loaded, it should work .... at least as well as any proprietary ati driver can work...
[05:06] <Healot> it usually happens with the Official Ati Driver,
[05:06] <foxhound> i have kind of a newbie question... and there isn't much (good) help on it.
[05:06] <niki> ok, so if the official ati driver is fubar....what do we do to switch to a working one?
[05:06] <foxhound> can i post a link about my question?
[05:06] <Snurf> How do I install the mozilla firefox plugin for Macromedia Flash player? Can someone just give the the aptitude commands?
[05:06] <jeff303> does anyone know what it means if I get an "unresolvable problem" when trying to use the update tool to 6.06?
[05:07] <untwisted> healot: whatcha mean?  What packages need to go?  and how do I revert to stock kernel...  I'm still noobish :P
[05:07] <Healot> Those that you install with the Ati installer
[05:07] <mikeLaptop> Snurf, download the flash plugin, unpack it and read the readme
[05:07] <socket7> hello
[05:07] <foxhound> hello socket.
[05:08] <spikeb> mikeLaptop: it's in the repos
[05:08] <spikeb> no need to
[05:08] <foxhound> i'm getting this error message when i try to boot into windows xp home: "root (hd0,0) Filesystem type unkown Parition type 0x7 safedefault makeactive chainloader + 1"

My login page and general usage is at the correct resolution, but at startup and shutdown splash screens, the right resolutions flashes for a fraction of a second then the left half of the screen is cut off.  Any ideas on what I should do?
[05:08] <mikeLaptop> neighborlee, any ideas?
[05:08] <eugman> is ubuntu the best for fixing up photos?
[05:08] <eugman> er gimp
[05:08] <eugman> I mean gimp
[05:08] <socket7> I need help getting my CD rom drive in my laptop working correctly. It works when its installed on boot, but I want to be able to install it and take it out of the drive bay with the system on.
[05:09] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, what are you getting now fps
[05:09] <snoops> most likely eugman, unless you want to run photoshop on wine
[05:09] <mikeLaptop> 2098 frames in 5.0 seconds = 419.425 FPS
[05:09] <mikeLaptop> 2095 frames in 5.0 seconds = 418.885 FPS
[05:09] <Healot> GIMP, the best... wait the only one that is Adobe's Photoshop compatible
[05:09] <socket7> I know it has to do with hotplug, but i have no idea where to start

[05:09] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, nm sorry ic it
[05:09] <mikeLaptop> neighborlee, np ;)
[05:09] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, hm
[05:09] <mikeLaptop> was that better than the last fps i pasted?
[05:09] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, im not familiar with the GO line at all
[05:09] <wweasel> I have a problem that I've never seen before. My login page and general usage is at the correct resolution, but at startup and shutdown splash screens, the right resolutions flashes for a fraction of a second then the left half of the screen is cut off.  Any ideas on what I should do?
[05:10] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, but for a 6600 card that fps sounds way wrong
[05:10] <Nameeater> roughly how many MB should I need to download when I dist-upgrade from the install CD?
[05:10] <filipius> r irc.rizon.net
[05:10] <mikeLaptop> neighborlee, afaikt it just uses the regular linux binaries
[05:10] <inono> How do I get proxytunnel for Ubuntu ? It's not in Synaptic!
[05:10] <Healot> !info privoxy
[05:10] <mikeLaptop> Nameeater, iirc the upgrade manager tells you
[05:10] <ubotu> privoxy: Privacy enhancing HTTP Proxy. In repository universe, is optional. Version 3.0.3-5 (dapper), package size 1504 kB, installed size 2852 kB
[05:10] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, long as your xorg.conf shows driver as 'nvidia' you should be all set..thats what that one   line command does is cjhange it from nv to nvidia
[05:10] <Healot> !info tor
[05:10] <ubotu> tor: anonymizing overlay network for TCP. In repository universe, is optional. Version 0.1.0.16-1ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 608 kB, installed size 1120 kB
[05:11] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, and of course long as nvidia-glx is installed
[05:11] <wweasel> I have a problem that I've never seen before. My login page and general usage is at the correct resolution, but at startup and shutdown splash screens, the right resolutions flashes for a fraction of a second then the left half of the screen is cut off.  Any ideas on what I should do?
[05:11] <Nameeater> mikeLaptop I forgot to install the upgrade manager before doing apt-get update with the dapper packages so I am doing it with apt-get dist-upgrade :/
[05:11] <mikeLaptop> neighborlee, that command you gave added a whole bunch of stuff to my xorg.conf
[05:12] <niki> the ATI installer lets you build an ubuntu package...but then when you re-run it, the package you built still doesn't show up in the list...only SUSE and RedHat packages show up.
[05:12] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, you might try getting driver from nvidia's site and installing and see if that makes any difference I guess but I dont see why it would
[05:12] <mikeLaptop> Nameeater, ahh, iirc it was 800MB give or take
[05:12] <mikeLaptop> neighborlee, i was thinking that
[05:12] <Nameeater> thats alot :| maybe I will just reinstall
[05:13] <mikeLaptop> neighborlee, any idea why gdm won't let me log in now :/
[05:13] <mikeLaptop> neighborlee, i can log in via cli, and startx, but gdm won't let me
[05:13] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, what error are you getting
[05:13] <Tefad> i think i need help with a boot prompt, as the installer disc boots on one computer and not another: the graphics go blank (either amber light on monitor, or text with only cursor)  no matter which linux option i choose at the boot menu, memtest functions.(xubuntu desktop or alternate); things go blank _after_ kernel load hits 100%
[05:14] <mikeLaptop> no error, just the login error sound, and the prompt for my username
[05:14] <socket7> Does anyone here have experience with hotplug CD rom drives in laptops?
[05:14] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, I konw of no login error sound but it prompts for username yes
[05:14] <mikeLaptop> it boggles my mind that my xorg.conf could effect my login
[05:14] <neighborlee> faik there is zero connection
[05:15] <socket7> X is the program that displays your login.
[05:15] <mikeLaptop> neighborlee, well i type my username, then pass. then it just goes back to the username prompt
[05:15] <socket7> unless you arn't using a gui login
[05:15] <Dial_tone> gnome is saving my session even when i tell it not to and it's driving me nuts
[05:15] <mikeLaptop> socket7, true, but X has nothing at all to do with users
[05:15] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, ah well thats totally unrelated to x then yes
[05:15] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, capslock ?
[05:15] <mikeLaptop> neighborlee, no
[05:16] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, im out of ideas on that one
[05:16] <mikeLaptop> ubuntu has that nice "you have capslock on" warning
[05:16] <neighborlee> ;0
[05:16] <niki> if my xorg.conf is setup to be ATI and fglrx, then why would fglrxinfo still be displaying Mesa Project ?
[05:16] <mikeLaptop> grrr
[05:16] <mattwestm> how do I set up syslogs from my firewall router?
[05:16] <foxhound> hello?
[05:17] <dr_willis> Moo
[05:17] <mikeLaptop> well i guess i'll reinstall the nvidia binary package, and then try recompiling the driver
[05:17] <foxhound> yeah, moo...
[05:17] <neighborlee> Mika_i, no idea dont hav ati, but I would check forums if no one here knows...
[05:17] <mattwestm> do I need to add anything to accept logs on port 514?
[05:17] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, reasonable
[05:17] <knight488> is it possible to get accelerated graphics with an ATI card?
[05:17] <wweasel> I have a problem that I've never seen before.

[05:18] <foxhound> i keep getting this error ("root (hd0,0) Filesystem type unkown Parition type 0x7 safedefault makeactive chainloader + 1") when i try to boot into windows xp home. how can i fix it?
[05:18] <niki> Healot, i've done all of those steps several times now lol
[05:19] <mikeLaptop> brb
[05:19] <Healot> pretty easy... just matter of understanding the geeky jargons
[05:19] <mikere> foxhound: was your system running well recently and just started doing this?
[05:20] <foxhound> mikere, it was running fine before i installed ubuntu.
[05:20] <mikere> foxhound: and you just installed ubuntu?
[05:20] <foxhound> mikere, yes.
[05:20] <niki> i've done them and understand them....they just don't work here.
[05:20] <lampshade> hey everybody guess what I'm doing???
[05:20] <mikere> foxhound: did you install ubuntu on a separate partition or did you accidentally overwrite your xp install?
[05:21] <kalosaurusrex> lamp: knitting?
[05:21] <wweasel> Anyone have any idea why the splash screens for boot up and shutdown might have a different resolution (wrong) from my login screen and my general usage (right)?
[05:21] <foxhound> mikere, i installed ubuntu on a seperate partition.
[05:21] <lampshade> I'm playing with XGL w00t
[05:21] <foxhound> *separate

[05:22] <lampshade> it was pretty easy to install
[05:22] <foxhound> mikere, i'm sure it is.
[05:22] <lampshade> really easy actually with Nvidia and slightly harder with ATI
[05:22] <foxhound> stupid grub! :(
[05:22] <newbuntu> my friend has openssh-server and client but i cant fish://username@I.P his address, I can do my home one... any guesses why his hanga and hangs?
[05:22] <wweasel> Anyone have any idea why the splash screens for boot up and shutdown might have a different resolution (wrong) from my login screen and my general usage (right)?
[05:22] <mikere> foxhound: from a console type df

[05:22] <foxhound> okay...
[05:22] <taoscotch> trying to use usb 1gb pen drive. any help will be appreciated?

[05:23] <knight488> anyone know why I get video acceleration errors when my ATI driver says it's installed fine?
[05:23] <wweasel> It should automatically be recognized and placed as a folder in /media/
[05:23] <mikere> foxhound: does it have /dev/hda2 listed?
[05:23] <tic1> i was disconnected. does anyone know where the png files for the panel apps are?
[05:23] <foxhound> mikere, yes it does.
[05:23] <taoscotch> wweasel :  i tried installing usb mount hal etc. nothing seems to work, it won't recognize the pen drive
[05:23] <RandomDude15> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829102176 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829117108 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829102002 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829111001? which soundcard should I get out of these 3?
[05:23] <tic1> like the garbage can.
[05:23] <RandomDude15> *4
[05:23] <mikere> foxhound: does it have /dev/hda1 listed?
[05:23] <foxhound> did i install ubuntu on my second hdd!?
[05:23] <foxhound> mikere, no it doesn't.
[05:23] <Madpilot> RandomDude15, any actual reason you're spamming the channel with massive newegg URLs?
[05:23] <mikere> foxhound: that's fine so far
[05:24] <kalosaurusrex> fox can you go to pastebin and post the output?
[05:24] <foxhound> mikere, it has sda listed (usb i think)...
[05:24] <lampshade> tic1: not sure, but I would guess something like /usr/share/pixmaps
[05:24] <socket7> My laptop freezes whenever I take my CD drive out of it. How do I stop this frop happening?
[05:24] <foxhound> kalosaurusrex, pastebin... ?
[05:24] <RandomDude15> dude im asking which one of those 4 soundcards from the links I should buy and no ones answering me.
[05:24] <mikere> foxhound: we're going to repeat this step but with a gui tool now - and see a bit more
[05:24] <kalosaurusrex> www.pastebin.com
[05:24] <lampshade> eh
[05:24] <foxhound> mikere, okay.
[05:24] <mikere> foxhound: click System --> administration -> disks
[05:25] <foxhound> kalosaurusrex, i can post the output with what i just now copied from the console...
[05:25] <kalosaurusrex> nm just follow along with mikere
[05:25] <foxhound> kalosaurusrex, kk.
[05:25] <Tefad> socket7: don't take out the drive?
[05:25] <Tefad> try suspending first
[05:25] <Tefad> *shrug*
[05:25] <foxhound> mikere, okay...
[05:25] <Tefad> not sure if ubuntu suppots hotswap for laptop drives yet
[05:25] <tic1> lampshade, so it must be something different. i want to change the 'MenuBar' icon.
[05:25] <mikere> kalosaurus: I'll prolly get stuck when it comes to getting his grub conf right
[05:26] <kalosaurusrex> I'll try and help as well.
[05:26] <garrett> a basic question, how do i change screen rez, i only have 2 options 800x600 and 640x480, is there a way to get more reoluions like 1280x1024
[05:26] <mikere> foxhound: click on hard disk and then the partitions tab
[05:26] <niki> untwisted, i think i've found the answer
[05:26] <untwisted> niki: are you still around?
[05:26] <niki> untwisted, yes
[05:26] <foxhound> mikere, it's still processing... :\
[05:26] <mikere> foxhound: Partition 1 should be listed as /dev/hda1 with filesystem Windows NTFS
[05:26] <untwisted> niki:  I just rebooted and its working now ...  what did you come up with though? :P
[05:26] <wweasel> Anyone have any idea why the splash screens for boot up and shutdown might have a different resolution (wrong) from my login screen and my general usage (right)?
[05:26] <socket7> Tefad, Thats not an acceptable solution for me.
[05:27] <foxhound> mikere, let me try exiting and opening the application again.
[05:27] <niki> untwisted, i've been told to run the --listpkg option, then --buildpkg option (both of which i had already done)...however, i didn't realize it created packages i needed to install manually...i was looking for them in the distro list in the inital installer downloaded from ATI
[05:27] <taoscotch> wweasel:  u still there?
[05:27] <foxhound> mikere, should it take this long?
[05:27] <mikere> foxhound: nope
[05:28] <kalosaurusrex> the question now is..
[05:28] <foxhound> :\
[05:28] <mikeLaptop> neighborlee, hmmm apparently it is DRI that was preventing me from logging in via gdm
[05:28] <wweasel> tao: yes
[05:28] <kalosaurusrex> which is better..socket7 or socket 478?
[05:28] <stbrenner> does anyone how to get a digital camera (Sony Cybershot DSC-W50) to work under dapper?
[05:28] <mikeLaptop> neighborlee, not sure how or why, but i commented that out, and i could log in
[05:28] <foxhound> ...
[05:28] <socket7> kalosaurusrex, I'm better!

[05:29] <wweasel> Could someone please help me with my problem? I can't get the splash screens for start up and shutdown to display in the right resolution
[05:29] <taoscotch> wweasel: the usb drive works on other computers. or atelast worked with windows on my friends computer. i download some mp3 from him and brought it to my linux lptop now it doesn't work. any idea?

[05:29] <untwisted> niki: ahhh, see, I had installed the files it generated manually.  I don't know what made it work this time, but I just refollowed this, and it seems to have worked: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Dapper_Installation_Guide#Method_2:_Generating.2FInstalling_Ubuntu_packages_for_the_8.26.18_drivers_in_Ubuntu_Dapper_Manually
[05:29] <BHSPitLappy> hi
[05:29] <foxhound> mikere, what's wrong?
[05:29] <socket478> png thank j00 :)
[05:29] <niki> untwisted, ok...if this doesn't work after reboot, i'll take a close loook at that....thanks :)
[05:29] <png> socket478, yw
[05:30] <wweasel> taoscotch: none. I have a USB Drive and when I plug it in it just appears on my desktop
[05:30] <mikere> foxhound: not sure.   This is something I haven't encountered before.  Could posibly be a pooched partition table, but that's really rare in my experience
[05:30] <untwisted> niki: no problem, good luck to you :)
[05:30] <foxhound> mikere, pooched?
[05:30] <foxhound> define:pooched
[05:30] <niki> untwisted, did you install _every_ package it created?
[05:30] <mikere> foxhound: messed up
[05:30] <foxhound> kk.
[05:30] <taoscotch> wweasel: can u check and run the command "lsusb" and tell me if it mentions your drive name in there. please.
[05:30] <rexykik> !xgl
[05:30] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[05:31] <taoscotch> wweasel: because when i run lsusb it doesn't say anything at all.
[05:31] <phpError> Could anyone point me in the right direction for disabling onboard sounds? Since I have a new PCI sound card.
[05:31] <mikere> foxhound: how many times have you rebooted and have it come up messed up?
[05:31] <untwisted> niki: only xorg-driver-fglrx_8.26.18-1_i386, fglrx-kernel-source_8.26.18-1_i386, and fglrx-control_8.28.18-1_i386
[05:31] <phpError> I'm using Dapper, and Ubuntu 6.06.
[05:31] <kalosaurusrex> fox: what's the specific error message?
[05:31] <foxhound> mikere, 304 times (everytime).
[05:31] <foxhound> *3-4
[05:31] <wweasel> taoscotch: I don't have my usb key on me. sorry
[05:32] <taoscotch> wweasel: cool, no probs. thanxs man, i do appreciate it though.
[05:32] <biffhero> why is it so hard getting that ATI stuff set up?  I am hoping to get my T41p (with ATI card) set up as well.
[05:32] <niki> untwisted, then you rebooted and it worked?
[05:32] <foxhound> kalosaurusrex, "root (hd0,0) Filesystem type unkown Parition type 0x7 safedefault makeactive chainloader + 1"
[05:32] <mikere> foxhound: welp, we don't want to try rebooting to fix it then.  Leave the disk program up and running and see if it eventualy loads.  While we do that, we could try opening up a partition manager and see what we can see
[05:32] <mikeLaptop> phpError, that would have to be done in the bios
[05:32] <untwisted> niki: I followed the howto and it worked.  Theres some other things you need to do after installing em
[05:32] <kalosaurusrex> fox: ahh...I'm hoping you don't have any data you need to retain?
[05:32] <phpError> mikelaptop, ah okay, cheers.
[05:33] <niki> untwisted, then i will look at that now...thanks again
[05:33] <kalosaurusrex> I mean..just in case..of course.
[05:33] <wweasel> Does anyone here have any idea why the startup and shutdown splash screens would use a different resolution than my login/normal usage?
[05:33] <untwisted> niki: no prob :)
[05:33] <phpError> I might leave it for now in fact, since I have onboard sounds. I'll disabled it one of these days, when I'm not to lazy to reboot XD
[05:33] <knight488> biffhero: you get an ATI card working?
[05:33] <taoscotch> first time with usb flash drive ubuntu dapper any ideas?
[05:33] <mikere> foxhound: one min while I google up the tools I used last time I needed to manually look at partitions
[05:33] <foxhound> kalo, nope, but this doesn't sound like a bad partition. i think it's a boot loader error or something (at least, i hope it is).
[05:33] <biffhero> knight488: no, still reading, haven't gone any further than installing some things via synaptic
[05:34] <kalosaurusrex> may need a grub expert...I've seen lots of errors..but not that one. so I'm not sure what it is exactly.
[05:34] <kalosaurusrex> :(
[05:34] <foxhound> well, if i could post a link... :\
[05:34] <ehtotam> hello
[05:34] <kalosaurusrex> link?
[05:34] <foxhound> yes.
[05:34] <cydrive> how do i update flash for firefox?
[05:34] <kalosaurusrex> send
[05:34] <wweasel> Does anyone here have any idea why the startup and shutdown splash screens would use a different resolution than my login/normal usage?
[05:34] <foxhound> here. i'll pm it to you and mikere.
[05:34] <kalosaurusrex> ok
[05:35] <knight488> biffhero: are you using a guide on a site somewhere? I'm having trouble with wine and cedega detecting accelerated graphics, but fglrx info looks good...
[05:35] <foxhound> let's see... how do i pm/whisper?
[05:35] <foxhound> '/msg right?
[05:35] <kalosaurusrex> hmm I think /msg <nick>
[05:35] <ehtotam> anyone here know much about boot managers?
[05:35] <mikere> kalosaurusrex: his drive is making the Disk utility hang - suspect partition error to cause that
[05:36] <cydrive> anyone now how to update flash player?
[05:36] <mikere> ehtotam: ive hand edited lilo before but not grub
[05:36] <kalosaurusrex> mikere:  very possible, agreed.
[05:36] <taoscotch> cydrive: what do you have breezy or dapper
[05:36] <tic1> cydrive, i've been trying to figure that out for a while too.
[05:36] <foxhound> i hope i did that right.
[05:36] <cydrive> ummm i have no idea im new to this os so i knwo nothing about it
[05:36] <ehtotam> mikere: well I'm having trouble with my boot manager for windows
[05:37] <taoscotch> cydrive: go to the system menu and click on "about ubuntu"
[05:37] <wweasel> Does anyone here have any idea why the startup and shutdown splash screens would use a different resolution than my login/normal usage? I've been asking a while and it seems no one can help.
[05:37] <ehtotam> I have an oversized drive which I use a boot manager for
[05:37] <mikere> ehtotam: at some time in the distant past I edited that too - but can't recall all the conventions.  Pretty sure I looked up the wierd naming spec they used on the MS web site
[05:37] <cydrive> i have dapper
[05:38] <ehtotam> when I installed Ubuntu I lost the ability to start my hd manager, and in essence I cannot load windows
[05:38] <kalosaurusrex> fox: looks like you already have a good thread going.
[05:38] <taoscotch> cydrive: do you feel comfortable using command line or graphical interface
[05:38] <foxhound> kalosaurusrex, except his problem is on (hd1, 0)!
[05:38] <cydrive> either way im good
[05:38] <cydrive> whatever is simpler for you
[05:38] <foxhound> kalosaurusrex, mine's on (hd0, 0)
[05:38] <knight488> biffhero: what guide are you using to set up your card?
[05:38] <foxhound> let's whisper...
[05:40] <taoscotch> cydrive: use root as in sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[05:40] <biffhero> knight488: just looking at thinkwiki and anything which might be close.  have to put the kids to bed now.  back in about 10 minutes
[05:40] <kalosaurusrex> fox:  honestly I'm not good with the grub problems...they can be such a pain to trobuleshootin.
[05:40] <foxhound> kalosaurusrex, kk.
[05:41] <ehtotam> If anyone would like to help me out with my problem I put a post on the Ubuntu forums here is the link "http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205086"
[05:41] <mikeLaptop> why the quotes?
[05:41] <ehtotam> sorry
[05:41] <ehtotam> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205086
[05:41] <taoscotch> cydrive: did it work? i forgot to ask u if u have a fast internet connection or not.
[05:41] <kalosaurusrex> and a few more beers and you might be taking your computer apart
[05:42] <cydrive> yeah im using wireless but its fast i just have to turn on universe and multiuniverse
[05:42] <kalosaurusrex> *hiccup*
[05:43] <mikeLaptop> ehtotam, sorry i know next to nothng about grub
[05:44] <ehtotam> thanks for looking Mike
[05:44] <mikeLaptop> ehtotam, did you tell grub about winxp duing the install?
[05:44] <mikeLaptop> np
[05:44] <ehtotam> I just did the live install and did not see any option for that...
[05:44] <knight488> is there some trick to letting ubuntu know you got open gl working?
[05:44] <ehtotam> needless to say I did not if there was.
[05:44] <mikeLaptop> ehtotam, also i'm not to sure about all that IBM boot manager stuff
[05:45] <cydrive> taoscotch for some reason i cant get universe to work i keep getting an error when its downlaoding the last file when i hit reload
[05:45] <tonyyarusso> Is there any way to get the different desktop backgrounds on different workspaces functionality back in Gnome by adding something?
[05:46] <taoscotch> cydrive: ok read the file by issuing this command  :  cat /etc/apt/sources.list | more
[05:46] <ehtotam> All I know about the IBM boot manager is that it's a pain in the rear...
[05:47] <ChrisC_> I just upgraded from breezy to dapper, and my beloved Mozilla (not Firefox) is gone.  How can I restore it so that it uses my old profile? (which has a gazillion cookie prefs in it)
[05:47] <cydrive> ok i did that
[05:47] <taoscotch> cydrive: read in that file and see if you see a word like multiverse etc.
[05:48] <Trae> nomasteryoda, heh
[05:48] <cydrive> # deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[05:48] <cydrive> # deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-backports main restricted
[05:48] <cydrive> universe multiverse
[05:48] <Trae> nomasteryoda, I onder if this will get you while you are in bzf
[05:49] <ehtotam> anyway I guess no one has any idea of what I should do.
[05:49] <taoscotch> cydrive: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades check this page and there is a file sources.list on it. compare it to yours, if not change it to look like the one in the webpage and then run the command again
[05:49] <mikeLaptop> ehtotam, it seems that way, i'd wait for a reply to your pot
[05:49] <mikeLaptop> er post
[05:49] <Madpilot> cydrive, you've got to have "multiverse" in more than just the backports repo
[05:49] <taoscotch> ehtotam: i just sent you a link. see if that helps
[05:49] <mikeLaptop> probably your best bet
[05:50] <ehtotam> ah thanks taoscotch
[05:50] <mikeLaptop> see ya later all
[05:50] <mikeLaptop> neighborlee, thanks for the help
[05:50] <knight488> does anyone have an ATI card with working accelerated graphics?
[05:50] <mikeLaptop> and the rest that helped too :)
[05:50] <cydrive> ok than you i got it working
[05:50] <neighborlee> mikeLaptop, any luck ?
[05:50] <taoscotch> ehtotam: no  probs, just understand the format of how the files is configured. and then use linux vi etc. to change the grub config file.
[05:50] <neighborlee> sorry Iw as in another channel
[05:51] <neighborlee> oops
[05:52] <bcs> how do i change file permissions recursively
[05:52] <socket7> where can i get idectl. apt doesn't seem to have it :(
[05:52] <mikere> kalosaurus: his partition table's ok - gparted can read it np
[05:52] <mikere> kalosaurusrex: can you assist foxhound with grub configuration?
[05:52] <Madpilot> bcs, in the command line, "chmod -R /path/to/files" - graphically, you really can't so far
[05:53] <foxhound> mikere, probably not. i think you sent that one to me, anyway.
[05:53] <kalosaurusrex> eh..
[05:53] <kalosaurusrex> not really too much of the grub...
[05:53] <vitry> vitry@bestia:~$ cat /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq --> result is 64 (this is not posible, why don't is 1024?)
[05:53] <taoscotch> does anybody know how to get usb pen drive working? dapper/laptop
[05:53] <mikere> ok, we'll talk in here anyway in case someone else does too =)
[05:53] <foxhound> kk.
[05:53] <kalosaurusrex> sorry :(
[05:53] <crimsun> vitry: just set it to 1024
[05:53] <kalosaurusrex> I'll offer a good luck beer?
[05:53] <niki> I FIXED IT!
[05:53] <foxhound> kalosaurusrex, ty, anyway.
[05:54] <niki> RAR!
[05:54] <foxhound> lol. thanks.
[05:54] <crimsun> vitry: echo -n 1024 |sudo tee /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq
[05:54] <CarlFK> AR!
[05:54] <mikere> kalosaurus: I live near Cumberland, which is considered the luckiest town on earth due to having the highest per capita consumption of Lucky brand beer
[05:54] <vitry> ok crimson, so why don't load 1024 in the started?
[05:54] <Evilscietnist> I'm bbbaaaaacccckkkk  :)
[05:55] <ehtotam> taoscotch: I don't quite understand what this does?
[05:55] <Evilscietnist> okay....I feel silly....but here's the question...
[05:55] <cappicard> hrmm... mythtv 's broken...
[05:55] <cappicard> it won't work with with mysql 5...
[05:55] <Evilscietnist> .....my windows XP can see the server I've set up...but when I put in username and pw it won't log in.
[05:56] <jshriver> greetings
[05:56] <taoscotch> ehtotam: the grub config part right?
[05:56] <jshriver> what package has the man pages for gcc and stdio?
[05:56] <ehtotam> I think I did not get the link...
[05:56] <varsendagger> how can i tell if xgl has been installed?
[05:56] <CarlFK> my sound just freaked out again - play /usr/share/hwdb-client/sound.wav - echos it about 50 times (i lost count)
[05:56] <mikere> foxhound: in console type: vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:56] <untwisted> niki: you around?
[05:57] <CarlFK> it was fine an hour ago - I haven't done 'anything'
[05:57] <taoscotch> ehtotam: http://users.eiwaz.com/~aboman/files/misc/grub-config.txt
[05:57] <ehtotam> aah
[05:57] <kalosaurusrex> mikere:  lol dude that's awesome (about the beer.) I'm slow tonight apparently.
[05:57] <Evilscietnist> thoughts?
[05:57] <kalosaurusrex> mikere:  brave using vi.  :)
[05:57] <foxhound> vi?
[05:57] <mikere> kalosaurusrex: vi is your friend!
[05:57] <foxhound> !vi
[05:57] <ubotu> I know nothing about vi
[05:57] <foxhound> nope. :\
[05:58] <untwisted> !vim
[05:58] <ubotu> Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), vi/vim (terminal-based), terminal based: vi/vim, emacs, nano (user-friendly). HTML/CSS editors: !html; Programming: !code
[05:58] <biffhero> knight488: how about you meet me in #ati ?
[05:58] <Evilscietnist> I've found I like nano
[05:58] <CarlFK> play /usr/share/hwdb-client/sound.wav = Time: 00:01.64 - it is a 1.5 seconf clip...
[05:58] <kalosaurusrex> I get a lot of crap at work for not knowing it more though.  need to play with it more.
[05:58] <bcs> say i want to set a file to read(everyone), write(owner), execute(everyone) what would i put for chmod?
[05:59] <Tefad> during installation i have this problem: the graphics go blank (either amber light on monitor, or text with only cursor)  no matter which linux option i choose at the boot menu, memtest functions.(xubuntu desktop or alternate); things go blank _after_ kernel loading hits 100%
[05:59] <knight488> biffhero: on my way
[05:59] <biffhero> bcs: rwxr-xr-x
[05:59] <biffhero> ?
[05:59] <kalosaurusrex> I think vi was designed by some drunken developer...who didn't sleep for 3 days...and hadn't gotten laid in 15 years...and lived at home..with his mom..and slept in the same room as his sister, with his pet rat. :/
[05:59] <Tefad> where should is tart for help? the cd is good.. and boots on my laptop fine
[06:00] <kalosaurusrex> with the intent of torturing others..keep that part in mind.
[06:00] <ChrisC_> biffhero: I don't think you can command chmod with that syntax
[06:00] <taoscotch> anybody here who can help me with usb pen drive ubuntu dapper/laptop
[06:00] <ChrisC_> bcs: chmod filename 755
[06:00] <kalosaurusrex> hope I didn't offend anyone :/
[06:00] <ChrisC_> I might have that backwards
[06:00] <Evilscietnist> can anyone help me with my little client login problem?
[06:01] <ChrisC_> bcs: yeah, I was backwards:  chmod 755 filename
[06:01] <verne> taoscotch- plug it in should recognize it
[06:01] <ChrisC_> why does Ubuntu let me delete files from the desktop when I've set the write-protect bit (i.e. chmod filename 400)?
[06:02] <taoscotch> verne:  i tried that it worked with windows at my friends house, but not on the linux laptop i have .
[06:02] <kalosaurusrex> chris: you mean chmod 400 <filename?> ?
[06:02] <Evilscietnist> can't get windows client to logon to server...don't know what's missing...pm me if you have suggestions
[06:02] <ChrisC_> yes, backwards again :)  the chmod took -- I actually did it via the gui.
[06:03] <Feltpants> Is it possible to load a Java pugin for viewing web pages on ubuntu? (Hoary hedgehog)
[06:03] <kalosaurusrex> lol
[06:03] <kalosaurusrex> just makin' sure.
[06:03] <kalosaurusrex> :)
[06:03] <ChrisC_> I was hoping this was fixed in dapper
[06:03] <nomasteryoda> Trae, wow
[06:03] <vitry> crimsun: do you known any template for fwbuilder?
[06:03] <nomasteryoda> howdy man
[06:03] <nomasteryoda> nope it did not get to me
[06:03] <nomasteryoda> very busy killing tanks
[06:03] <nomasteryoda> man, i thought it was Friday
[06:03] <crimsun> vitry: I'm not familiar w/ it, sorry
[06:03] <nomasteryoda> lol
[06:03] <vitry> ok, so yhanks
[06:03] <verne> taoscotch- trying to think
[06:04] <vitry> thanks
[06:04] <alpha255> friday?
[06:04] <nomasteryoda> lol
[06:04] <verne> maybe file setup is wrong
[06:04] <nomasteryoda> yea
[06:04] <alpha255> ohh that would be nice
[06:04] <nomasteryoda> i cleaned out my shop
[06:04] <nomasteryoda> that's why
[06:04] <nomasteryoda> felt like a friday thing
[06:04] <nomasteryoda> but found no ubuntu discs there... only knoppix
[06:04] <verne> taoscotch- how was the pendrive formatted?
[06:05] <taoscotch> verne: i been at it since the last two hours. i don't want my friend to find out that usb didn't work with linux. i might have to listen to his stupid jokes about linux for the next three years.
[06:05] <taoscotch> verne: i think it was fat32 because i copied some songs from his computer mp3's actually.
[06:05] <CarlFK> taoscotch: I just got here.  whats the problem?
[06:05] <verne> fat32 not recongized by linux
[06:05] <kalosaurusrex> huh yeah it is.
[06:05] <GigaClon> is there a GNOME ver of Umbrello
[06:05] <GigaClon> ?
[06:05] <kalosaurusrex> just have to mount it as fat32
[06:06] <ardchoille> GigaClon: what does umbrello do?
[06:06] <verne> ya thats what I thought
[06:06] <ehtotam> taoscotch: the article you posted is to install Grub again will this work?
[06:06] <taoscotch> CarlFK: first time, i try to plug in a brand new 1gb usb flash/pen drive ubuntu dapper doesnt recognize it.
[06:06] <nomasteryoda> verne, some fat32 file systems when corrupt will not be mounted by linux... for safety
[06:06] <kalosaurusrex> I format all of my usb pen drives and usb external hard drive as fat 32 so I can move data between my windows friends and my machine.
[06:06] <nomasteryoda> check the drive with fsck
[06:06] <GigaClon> UML modler plus code generation
[06:06] <GigaClon> modeler
[06:07] <taoscotch> ehtotam: the article will help you understand the grub config file. then you can make changes to the config file and tell it where you have windows installed. then it will work.
[06:07] <socket7> whoo! running on 0% battery
[06:07] <socket7> fun
[06:07] <taoscotch> ehtotam: a simple reinstall might not work. better leave the installation as it is and config the file.
[06:08] <taoscotch> kalosaurusrex: any idea how to mount it like that
[06:08] <CarlFK> taoscotch: open a terminal (shell). First make sure the usb system see somethign plugged in: lsusb
[06:08] <taoscotch> CarlFK: that is the problem, lsusb just sees the mouse and keyboard, connected to one usb-ps connector.
[06:08] <kalosaurusrex> !fstab
[06:08] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[06:09] <kalosaurusrex> not sure..but there should be an example for fat32
[06:10] <verne> I use a mini USB hub
[06:10] <CarlFK> taoscotch: less /var/log/messages -hit > to get to the end - look for somethign like : Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0
[06:10] <verne> to hook up all my USB stuff
[06:10] <efox> hey
[06:10] <efox> anyone use gdesklets ?
[06:10] <taoscotch> kalosaurusrex: i read the fstab man page it doesn't have anything about usb
[06:10] <kalosaurusrex> k hold on
[06:11] <efox> i opened up some applets, but when i restart a session, and start gdesklets again, it doesnt show me the aplets it just shows me a blank area where they should be
[06:12] <efox> and if i check to see what applets are open, it does state the ones i configured in my profile, but again, it just doesnt graphically show me anything
[06:12] <verne> google fstab
[06:12] <efox> i have to manually go and add those applets again, is this how gdesklets are suppose to work ?
[06:12] <efox> if it does, boy does that ever suck
[06:13] <cwillu> efox:  what's the problem?
[06:13] <CarlFK> taoscotch: here is what mine looks like - try to cut/paste the similar amount and post the link
[06:13] <ehtotam> Ok with my limited linux knoledge, I've found where the Grub files are stored, but I gather I have to set them up by configuring Grub. The drive that Windows is installed on and maged by the IBM manager, is device: /dev/hda   Now from looking at the files in the folder with grub it has no pointer to that hd, do I need to change it manually or do I need to run some kind of configuration program?

[06:13] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> has anyone been able to install wine on dapper x64?
[06:13] <efox> cwillu: when i start gdesklets it doesnt graphically show the applets. I do see some BLANK spot where they should be (the frame is present but not that actual images)
[06:14] <Tefad> need chroot or something
[06:14] <Tefad> for wine x64
[06:14] <kalosaurusrex> where /dev/had is /dev/sda and /media/E is say /media/usbdrive you may need to make the /media/usbdrive dir
[06:14] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> has anyone been able to install wine on dapper x64?
[06:14] <efox> cwillu: if i run the command 'gdesklets open' it tells me the applets which SHOULD be open and displayin something. ? Its as if the applets are running but the images are not...pardon my lack of terminalogy, im quite new at this
[06:15] <snoops> you can in a chrooted 32bit environment, so I hear n0ctuRnaL-fieNd
[06:15] <cwillu> efox, brb, just grabbing some caffein
[06:15] <efox> cwillu:  also, i can right click the area, and it DOES say "configure applet" and so forth, but no images :'(
[06:15] <efox> cwillu: no prob
[06:15] <taoscotch> CarlFK: i did that but i do not find any attached scsi etc. i checked it with the link that u send
[06:16] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> snoops: i wish i new what that means
[06:16] <leboff> can someone suggest a bittorrent client besides azureus?
[06:16] <leboff> but with similar functionality..
[06:17] <efox> leboff:  bittornando ?
[06:17] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> ktorrent
[06:17] <leboff> efox: thanks.. i'll give it a try
[06:17] <CarlFK> taoscotch: tail /var/log/messages - cut paste whatever that displays
[06:17] <taoscotch> kalosaurusrex: i check the fstab, let me make the changes you just mentioned. let me get this clear i have to make the dir and then make the entry to fstab reflecting the changes.
[06:17] <cwillu> efox;  doh, thought we were talking about the task bar applets;   give me a sec, I'll put it on and see if I can see anything obvious (like "it doesn't work here either" :p)
[06:18] <taoscotch> CarlFK: in one second. where do i paste it though in the personal message
[06:18] <CarlFK> taoscotch: if you don't see anything in messages, I don't think any fstab is going to work
[06:18] <CarlFK> taoscotch: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[06:18] <RedBlades> Hello, I'm having trouble with an install
[06:18] <snoops> n0ctuRnaL-fieNd well, I believe it's like installing a 32bit version inside of your 64bit one.. then linking the various 32bit drivers to the applications you want to run in 32bit
[06:19] <kalosaurusrex> yes so you make the dir /media/usbdrive and then add it to the fstab.  the fstab says oh hey so you want me to mount /dev/sd(something) to /media/usbdrive...okay..
[06:19] <RedBlades> I was wondering, is there a text mode?
[06:19] <stokes> anyone help with problem with pcmcia
[06:19] <cwillu> efox:   but basic stuff first I guess:  what happens if you kill all the deskelet processes, and then relaunch them?
[06:19] <snoops> umm bittorando is nothing like azureus.. gosh efox
[06:19] <RedBlades> the GUI is using up all the RAM (I think)
[06:19] <kalosaurusrex> oh god.  my gf is going to bed..without me..is that bad?
[06:19] <knight488> what should normal FSP be with fgl_glxgears on a decient newer machine?
[06:20] <RedBlades> So, is there a text installer?
[06:20] <stokes> help pcmcia
[06:20] <kalosaurusrex> !pcmcia
[06:20] <ubotu> I know nothing about pcmcia
[06:20] <CarlFK> RedBlades: alternate-CD
[06:20] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> snoops: sounds complicated
[06:20] <RedBlades> CarlFK: I don't have it
[06:20] <taoscotch> CarlFK: did u get the file
[06:20] <stokes> i need to install pcmcia-cs-3.2.7-2.2 or newer.  ANyone know how to do this?
[06:21] <snoops> n0ctuRnaL-fieNd yeah.. I haven't bothered doing it on my 64bit system yet because of it
[06:21] <Healot> !info pcmcia-cs
[06:21] <ubotu> pcmcia-cs: PCMCIA Card Services for Linux. In repository main, is extra. Version 3.2.8-5.2ubuntu7 (dapper), package size 299 kB, installed size 920 kB
[06:21] <kalosaurusrex> stokes what are you trying to configure?
[06:21] <CarlFK> taoscotch: paste the URL 'here'
[06:21] <kalosaurusrex> !hplip
[06:21] <ubotu> I know nothing about hplip
[06:21] <Healot> stokes: ubuntu's is newer
[06:21] <efox> cwillu: if i slay the daemon (lol), those frames disappear. If i right click and go remove applet, it says that all info will be purged
[06:21] <stokes> ubota  <<<< Many thanks
[06:21] <efox> snoops: :S
[06:21] <cwillu> efox, so slaying and relaunching it doesn't make it work?
[06:22] <efox> after relaunching it, the same thing happens, it starts up, but only the frames of the applets with no images
[06:22] <sutabi> Is it possible to use my wifi card on my laptop connect it to my computer via cat5 cord to get internet?
[06:22] <cwillu> efox: what about removing an applet and readding it?
[06:22] <kalosaurusrex> umm does your cat5 computer have a wifi card?
[06:22] <efox> cwillu: what do you mean "read" it ?
[06:22] <cwillu> re-adding
[06:23] <sutabi> yeah,,,, but ubunu doesn't read it
[06:23] <efox> if i re add it it works
[06:23] <stokes> Healot : in dapper?
[06:23] <kalosaurusrex> sutabi:  that could be a problem then..
[06:23] <efox> the image is there..its good
[06:23] <cwillu> and breaks the next time you log in?  is that where I came in?  :)
[06:23] <foxhound> kalosaurusrex, ty for the help. i'm going to try just a plain ol' chkdsk and maybe a boot disk, too.
[06:23] <sutabi> kalosaurusrex.... buy my laptop wifi card works fine...
[06:23] <kalosaurusrex> fos: gl bro
[06:23] <kalosaurusrex> fox even
[06:23] <foxhound> ty.
[06:23] <blanky> hey guys, are the programming channels down or something
[06:23] <foxhound> bye all.
[06:24] <kalosaurusrex> sutabi...if only one card works..kinda hard to get internet sharing to work..
[06:24] <sutabi> just my pci wifi  isn't that great on unbutu..work on windows
[06:24] <blanky> I can't join #python, #c, #C#, #C++, etc.
[06:24] <efox> cwillu: ya, whenever i start a session, or even restart gdesklets, it doesnt seem to like it
[06:24] <Healot> blanky: need to register your nick maybe
[06:24] <blanky> sends me to #undefined-behaviour
[06:24] <blanky> oh nevermind, WOW
[06:24] <cwillu> efox: restart as in not the way we just did?
[06:24] <blanky> for some reason it was some type of lag
[06:24] <sutabi> kalosaurusrex :( know of any links that will help me wifi on unbutu?
[06:25] <RedBlades> Is there a way to do it without the other CD?
[06:25] <kalosaurusrex> I'd search the ubuntuforums..
[06:25] <taoscotch> CarlFK: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16674
[06:25] <RedBlades> I only have the first one.
[06:25] <[Ex0r] > Anyone here know what the bookbags are called that don't go over your shoulders, but instead rest on your hip ?
[06:25] <Mongey> how do i install looking glass, kubuntu dapper
[06:25] <efox> cwillu: if i slay it and start it, same thing. If i restart it with --restart, same thing.
[06:25] <taoscotch> CarlFK: sorry i didn't knew how to use that i think i figured it out
[06:25] <efox> cwillu: since your askin me all these questions, i take it this is NOT whats suppose to happen..lol
[06:25] <cwillu> oh, but it works if you remove and re-add the applet?
[06:26] <verne> hipbag
[06:26] <Mongey> !lookingglass
[06:26] <ubotu> I know nothing about lookingglass
[06:26] <Mongey> !glass
[06:26] <sutabi> kalosaurusrex i did.... :( all i know is that ubuntu is supose to have better wifi support in this version
[06:26] <ubotu> I know nothing about glass
[06:26] <cwillu> efox, it was installed from the normal ubuntu repositories, right?  (no downloaded debs; no generic linux builds; no weird repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list)
[06:26] <efox> cwillu: yes. But i hope  i dont have to redo that EVERY time
[06:27] <CarlFK> taoscotch: you dun good.  too bad I don't see anything about the pen drive being recognized in any shape (including a "what is this?" kinda message)
[06:27] <roostishaw> anyone, when i shutdown my comp, it goes through the normal shutdown (listing all the services its shutting down), then stops on 'will now halt'... how do i make it shutdown w/o me pressing the power button?
[06:27] <cwillu> efox: no, that's pretty obvious breakage
[06:27] <kalosaurusrex> well it does..but not clear on how to do the internet connection sharing thing...I mean you'd need to have dhcp installed, etc.  sorta complicated.
[06:27] <taoscotch> CarlFK: so what does that mean, is there a way to make it work
[06:27] <Warbo> roostishaw: Is your computer quite old?
[06:27] <efox> cwillu: to be honest, i dont remember where i got it from. Let me uninstall it and reinstall it with synopsis or something
[06:27] <CarlFK> taoscotch: what live CD's do you have ?  Ubuntu Dapper, Knoppix.. etc
[06:27] <efox> cwillu: pardon the newb question, but....how do i un-install ?
[06:28] <nicolas_> which range of ports should i forward in my router to enable incoming calls (ekiga) ?
[06:28] <roostishaw> Warbo, no, not at all... i bought it this year...
[06:28] <cwillu> efox, well, check if it's listed in synaptic :)
[06:28] <cwillu> efox, then double check you have a reasonably clean sources.list file
[06:28] <Warbo> roostishaw: OK, just that older computers use clunky mechanical buttons, which you cannot control with software
[06:28] <CarlFK> taoscotch: it can work - it works on all sorts of computers - something on your box is just tweaked :)
[06:29] <taoscotch> CarlFK: i have ubuntu breezy, knoppix, dsl
[06:29] <roostishaw> Warbo, hmm... so there is no fix you know of?
[06:29] <roostishaw> :(
[06:29] <cwillu> efox, right clicking on an applet and restarting it _didn't_ fix it, right?
[06:29] <efox> cwillu: it is showing up in synopsis. I dont understand or dont know what you mean with sources.list...im new :'(
[06:30] <efox> cwillu: thats correct. Restarting it did nothing
[06:30] <Warbo> roostishaw: I think that is handled by ACPI (or some similar acronym) maybe look on Google "acpi linux <yourmotherboard>"
[06:30] <taoscotch> CarlFK: do you think if i reboot with dsl or knoppix it might recognise
[06:30] <cwillu> efox:  have you added any repositories to synaptic to get any programs that don't show up by default in ubuntu, or ran easyubuntu or anything like that?
[06:30] <CarlFK> taoscotch: I would start with knoppix, see if it does any better
[06:30] <roostishaw> Warbo, hmm... ok, ill take a look... thx
[06:30] <taoscotch> CarlFK: cool, but if i do that i might have to log off over here.
[06:31] <verne> taoscotch- I've used Suse and recognized all my thumbdrives
[06:31] <kalosaurusrex> I've never had a problem with ubuntu detecting mine..
[06:31] <efox> cwillu: not that i know of. I play around with this and that and try and understand what im doing but sometimes i just do it to get the end result. but no, i dont BELIEVE so. I did uncomment everything in that unverise repo thing
[06:31] <cwillu> efox, ya, universe should be okay
[06:32] <cwillu> but you didn't add any non ubuntu sources, etc, it doesn't sound like
[06:32] <efox> cwillu: but that to my knowledge is all ive done to even be related to the synaptic package manager
[06:32] <cwillu> efox, well, try reinstalling it via synaptic
[06:32] <efox> cwillu: ok...now should i do complete removal or jus reinstall ?
[06:32] <cwillu> hmm
[06:32] <cwillu> efox, well, complete removal will remove any config you've done on it;  but ya, try complete and then reinstall after
[06:33] <taoscotch> i will be back in five minutes
[06:33] <efox> whatever config i have now is already lost lol
[06:33] <efox> ok let me have a go
[06:33] <efox> thanks cwillu
[06:33] <cwillu> efox: thank me when it works :p
[06:34] <stokes> Any experience with pacK_cis from dapper
[06:35] <stokes> pack_cis is in the pcmcia package
[06:35] <someothernick> anyone use hellanzb? my config file is wrong :/
[06:36] <efox> cwillu: thanks
[06:36] <cwillu> efox: working?
[06:36] <efox> cwillu: yup
[06:36] <cwillu> yay!
[06:36] <efox> cwillu: ya, i restarted it and it "remembers"
[06:37] <juanramon> quit
[06:37] <efox> lesson of the day: when in doubt, re-install
[06:37] <stokes> anyone using aircard555 under dapper?
[06:37] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> whats a command to check remaining harddrive space on a pertition?
[06:38] <mattyv> anybody know of a program that helps in writing medical SOAP notes, i tried gnumed but that doesn't work for now
[06:38] <stokes>  anyone using aircard555 under dapper?
[06:38] <mikere> n0ctuRnaL-fieNd: df

[06:39] <n0ctuRnaL-fieNd> mikere: so its like df /home?   or df /root?
[06:39] <mikere> n0ctuRnaL-fieNd: I just df and see the whole thing
[06:39] <stokes> aircard 555 anyone?
[06:39] <cwillu> RedBlades: I don't know of one, I think you need the alternatives cd, but I'm not sure

[06:41] <garryF> Hehe, its only been ten seconds in the ubuntu group and I feel better. I tried to experiment with solaris and instead of having a grubspeak or /dev/hdb1 for a disk name, they had this example  c0t0d0 Now, I tell ye,  c0t0d0 makes no sense. It looks like my cat walked accross the keyboard.
[06:41] <stokes>  aircard 555 anyone?
[06:42] <Tefad> i wouldn't have guessed my problem to be due to faulty optical drive.
[06:42] <Tefad> grr.
[06:42] <efox_away> is there a way to mount a specific folder in windows to a directory on ubuntu ? essentiall a "shortcut" ?
[06:42] <snoops> yep efox_away
[06:43] <efox_away> snoops: is that by usin mount ?
[06:43] <snoops> you can edit your fstab and add a line for the networked one
[06:43] <cwillu> efox_away: mounting anything in /media/somefolder will show up in places and similar gnomes palces
[06:43] <snoops> and yes it is
[06:44] <efox_away> cwillu: ok, i was just curious. Ill tackle that problem later tomorrow
[06:44] <efox_away> well thanks for the help
[06:44] <cwillu> efox_away: there's a bit of a trick to it though
[06:44] <mattyv> ok, anybody got gnumed working on dapper?
[06:44] <efox_away> cwillu: uh oh. i remember when i had to mount my ntfs with breezy, i had some trouble getting it to work.
[06:45] <knight488> anyone know how opengl can work when accelerated graphics dosn't?
[06:45] <cwillu> efox_away: it's not hard, just particular

[06:47] <knight488> mikere, how do I check?
[06:48] <mikere> knight488: not sure
[06:49] <snoops> efox_away https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently <- bit of a guide for ya :)
[06:50] <mikere> knight488: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf there's a separate Module Load "glx"
[06:50] <mikere> knight488: not sure if that's it or not
[06:50] <ehtotam> I'm back
[06:51] <ehtotam> Ok Tauscotch still here?
[06:51] <Timir> Anyone still awake?
[06:51] <Locke> perhaps
[06:51] <Timir> Ehh, I have a slight Unix problem..
[06:52] <ehtotam> anyone know how to edit the /boot folders in root?
[06:52] <Timir> What's a Segmentation fault?
[06:52] <ehtotam> err let me rephrase
[06:52] <snoops> I'm keen to do a bit of a slideshow + desktop presentation of my linux user experience with a voice recording added in.. preferably at the same time in one nice app..
[06:52] <ehtotam> i'm trying to change the grub menu.lst file
[06:52] <ehtotam> and it won't let me being that it belongs to the "root" user. How do I edit it?
[06:52] <snoops> are there any apps built for the job?
[06:52] <gr33npho3nix> cwillu: ah thanks it works now
[06:52] <mikere> Timir: it's when a program tries to access memory it's not allowed to access
[06:53] <snoops> sudo ehtotam
[06:53] <cfh_dev> Can Linux boot from a RAID 5 setup?
[06:53] <cwillu> gr33npho3nix: yippee
[06:53] <ehtotam> sudo?
[06:53] <snoops> sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst for example ehtotam
[06:53] <ehtotam> aaah
[06:53] <snoops> super user do..
[06:53] <ehtotam> thx
[06:53] <mikere> Timir: either through a bug in programming in the program itself (most likely) a library it uses (next most likely) the OS (next most likely) or hardware fault
[06:53] <snoops> no worries
[06:54] <xne0x> yo
[06:54] <xne0x> im having trouble installing ipodvidenc
[06:54] <mikere> cfh_dev: I would be tempted to say yes without thinking but I'm not certain.
[06:54] <xne0x> XML Parser failed compile.
[06:54] <xne0x> get that
[06:54] <cwillu> cfh_dev: what type of raid?
[06:54] <cfh_dev> mikere: What's better for software raid, md or evms?
[06:54] <xne0x> Expat.xs:12:19: error: expat.h: No such file or directory
[06:54] <xne0x> Expat.xs:60: error: syntax error before XML_Parser
[06:54] <xne0x> Expat.xs:60: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
[06:54] <xne0x> Expat.xs:78: error: syntax error before : token
[06:54] <Timir> mikere, so basically, if others can use it, then probably  it could maybe be fixed by doing SU or something?
[06:55] <cfh_dev> cwillu: software raid 5
[06:55] <cwillu> :/
[06:55] <cwillu> cfh_dev: I _think_ grub has to support it to boot from it
[06:55] <foxiness> on irssi you can change to other channel by press alt-x but when you use this with open tab you can not? any idea
[06:55] <mikere> Timir: perhaps
[06:55] <ehtotam> *crosses fingers*
[06:55] <cwillu> cfh_dev: might have to have a tiny ext3 partition to bootstrap off with a software raid, but I'm not sure
[06:55] <Timir> mikere, k, lemme try
[06:55] <snoops> hope you made a backup just in case ehtotam ;)
[06:56] <ehtotam> yeah I did
[06:56] <cfh_dev> cwillu: that's what I think I've heard in the past.  I know I can boot on software raid 1 but not so sure about raid 5
[06:56] <mikere> Timir: but it could also be a bug =)
[06:56] <cwillu> cfh_dev:  check the documentation for grub, it's the limiting factor
[06:56] <fogos> hi, i have a script that activate the wifi, by a comand on the term, but then the term close, how i get the term opened... adding something to the script
[06:56] <ehtotam> title		Windows XP Professional

[06:56] <ehtotam> makeactive
[06:56] <ehtotam> chainloader	+1
[06:56] <cwillu> if it can read initrd and the kernel image, you're good
[06:56] <mo0se> anyone know why i get 2 different choices for ubuntu in grub?
[06:56] <ehtotam> is this correct to boot windows in grub?
[06:56] <DrewMarin> can somebody help me with s-video
[06:57] <cwillu> mo0se: how do you mean?
[06:57] <Orgullomoore> My Internet connection frequently disconnects, more so than it does in Windows or in other Linux distros. In IRC, for example, as soon as I connect, it seems, my lag begins to grow, and I eventually fall due to a ping timeout. It is also hard to download anything that will take more than 10 minutes, because I lose the connection. Any advice?
[06:57] <cwillu> mo0se: you'll get a normal and a safemode, and probably those two for each kernel version you have
[06:57] <mo0se> well i get the ubuntu and then ubuntu memtest and then another ubuntu and another ubuntu memtest.
[06:57] <Orgullomoore> This is not at all consistent, some times it happens, other times it's fine
[06:57] <mikere> cfh_dev: I'd google grub software raid 5 - I can't give you a definite answer, raids not my thing
[06:57] <snoops> wireless Orgullomoore?
[06:57] <mo0se> it didn't happen when i installed ubuntu a while back.
[06:57] <cfh_dev> mikere: thanks, I'll check it out
[06:57] <cwillu> mo0se: you can mess with /boot/grub/menu.lst , just be careful, you break it, you bought it, and get to reinstall :)
[06:58] <mo0se> hehe.
[06:58] <Orgullomoore> snoops, no, I'm connected through a cable to my router, which is connected to a cable connection
[06:58] <Timir> mikere, =/ Nope, segmentation fault still, if you want I could give you a link to download it and you could see if it runs
[06:58] <cwillu> mo0se: the extras are probably old kernel versions that have been updated automatically
[06:58] <Timir> mikere, =/ Basically, it's the NWN server thing, to host a game
[06:58] <cwillu> mo0se: I believe there's a prog to clean it up automatically, just don't ask me what it's called :)
[06:58] <mo0se> that's what i was thinking. because i had to install like 93 updates.
[06:58] <heatxsink> anyone in here use network manager and the ubuntu network applet thing at the same time?
[06:58] <xne0x> make: *** [subdirs]  Error 2
[06:58] <xne0x> XML Parser failed compile.
[06:58] <xne0x> wats that mean
[06:58] <teh_n0OBl3t0r> does anyone know how i can get libImlib2.so.1??
[06:59] <mikere> mo0se: every time you update your kernel it updates grub - and leaves the otehr kernels there in case you want to use them because you have problem with hte new kernel
[06:59] <crimsun> !info libimlib2
[06:59] <Orgullomoore> snoops, and when I'm disconnected, it instantly reconnects..but I would still lose an IRC connection, for example. And my router continues to show connectivity
[06:59] <ubotu> libimlib2: powerful image loading and rendering library. In repository main, is optional. Version 1.2.1-2 (dapper), package size 188 kB, installed size 548 kB
[06:59] <snoops> Orgullomoore have another computer on the network to test with.. (trying to rule out the possibility of the router packing a sad)
[06:59] <crimsun> ^ teh_n0OBl3t0r
[06:59] <mikere> Timir: woohoo, NWN is great =)
[06:59] <mo0se> mikere: so how do i know which one to use? they're both the same.
[06:59] <teh_n0OBl3t0r> well
[06:59] <DrewMarin> mikere: how do u install nwn on linux I have the cds and I remember that game being fun
[06:59] <mikere> mo0se: trial and error?
[07:00] <teh_n0OBl3t0r> im on slack so  oh well
[07:00] <Orgullomoore> snoops, <nod>, I've tried it on this same computer on Knoppix--works fine. Tried it on another computer under Windows, also works fine.
[07:00] <snoops> that's strange Orgullomoore, because if you time it right, you can litterally unplug your eth cable from the router, then plug it back in and still stay connected to irc (between ping and pong events from the server)
[07:00] <Timir> mikere, Yeah, I have a friend, she's cool, but she can't host anymore, so I'm trying to set up my linux server
[07:00] <teh_n0OBl3t0r> i was trying to find somehwere i could just dl it and put it in the lib directory
[07:00] <mikere> DrewMarin: talk to Timir =)
[07:00] <bruenig> teh, do this in the terminal sudo apt-get install libimlib2
[07:00] <pvd> isnt sun java in a unofficial repository?
[07:00] <teh_n0OBl3t0r> bruenig
[07:00] <knight488> mikere, I shuld remove the load glx part?
[07:00] <Locke> yeah
[07:00] <teh_n0OBl3t0r> im not in ubuntu
[07:00] <mo0se> mikere: heheh. what am i looking for though?
[07:00] <DrewMarin> Timir: how can I install nwn in linux
[07:00] <mikere> Timir: I don't have time tonight to get into installing it - mebbe another time
[07:00] <Locke> plf
[07:00] <Orgullomoore> strange indeed, snoops
[07:00] <Locke> penguin liberation front
[07:00] <Orgullomoore> I don't know what to do though
[07:00] <mikere> knight488: I see no reason to do so - what do you want to fix?
[07:00] <theblue> Hi all.
[07:00] <Orgullomoore> at times it's untolerabel
[07:00] <bruenig> teh, this is an ubuntu support channel, perhaps you should look elsewhere
[07:01] <PavelG> hello, i have a very stupid question
[07:01] <Orgullomoore> intolerable** (go English!! :P)
[07:01] <mikere> mo0se: oh, you mean while editing menu.lst?
[07:01] <teh_n0OBl3t0r> im in slackware and for some reason it doesnt have . In repository main, is optional. Version 1.2.1-2
[07:01] <pvd> Locke, was that @ me?
[07:01] <teh_n0OBl3t0r>                (dapper), package size 188 kB, installed size 548 kB
[07:01] <teh_n0OBl3t0r> oops sorry
[07:01] <teh_n0OBl3t0r> ..
[07:01] <Locke> pvd,  yes
[07:01] <pvd> thanks
[07:01] <Timir> mikere, Basically, I downloaded the linux server, unzipped it, and launch it, and when I try to load a module it goes "Loading module "CHapter1E"...Segmentation fault" then exits to command line
[07:01] <PavelG> i am trying to install Ubuntu for the second time, and i can't, because i can't change my resolution from the default
[07:01] <snoops> Orgullomoore.. I would suggest trying another eth card.. if you have one.. or check to see if there are known problems with your chipset for ethernet
[07:01] <knight488> mikere, wine and cedega complain I don't have accelerated graphics, but opengl works fine and it appears as tho all my drivers are installed properly, so Im stuck
[07:01] <Locke> np
[07:01] <PavelG> that means, i can't see the whole install window :(
[07:01] <teh_n0OBl3t0r> hm
[07:02] <Orgullomoore> snoops, haha, I've tried that too...I'm actually connected through two ethernet cards...different brands and all
[07:02] <theblue> PavelG, You could try to install Breezy and then, from within Breezy, upgrade to Dapper.
[07:02] <mikere> knight488: ATI proprietary driver?
[07:02] <Timir> Chapter1E* No capital H*
[07:02] <nicolas_> anyone got able to receive phone-to-pc calls with ekiga and diamondcard ?
[07:02] <theblue> PavelG, Since Breezy uses a text-based installer.
[07:02] <PavelG> well, i am actually booted into dapper right now
[07:02] <PseudoPlacebo> Goodnight, ya'll.
[07:02] <bruenig> PavelG, you could always go with the alternate cd do it textually
[07:02] <knight488> mikere, yeah
[07:02] <theblue> There's an alternate cd?
[07:03] <bruenig> theblue, yes
[07:03] <DrewMarin> how can I use my s-video on linux I got it in windows with no prob
[07:03] <mikere> Timir: did you check and make sure you had all the libraries for it?
[07:03] <PavelG> well, i just burned dapper, do i have any other options?
[07:03] <cwillu> Orgullomoore: it almost sounds like you're tunnelling tcp over another tcp connection;  ring a bell?
[07:03] <PavelG> there's gotta be a way i can change my resolution
[07:03] <mikere> knight488: bet you 10 bucks it's not loading the ati driver and is using the dri one
[07:03] <suedoh> hi guys, anyone know how i can install the necessary codecs for totem? I tried placing them in /usr/local/lib/codecs and putting a symlink, restarting, but it still wont play properly?
[07:03] <theblue> bruenig, Ah, my Dapper CDs haven't come yet, and I usually don't touch the next version until I get the CDs to do a clean install.
[07:03] <bruenig> PavelG, you have tried to go to system>preferences>screen resolutions I assume
[07:03] <Orgullomoore> cwillu, I have know idea what that means, but I'm willing to work with you if you think you know what's going on...
[07:03] <knight488> mikere, at this point I'd almost gladly give it if you were right and knew the solution
[07:04] <theblue> PavelG, You could modify the xorg.config file, I believe it's in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, though I could be wrong.
[07:04] <DrewMarin> hmm I guess nobody uses s-videp
[07:04] <pvd> This is the correct line for the PLF repository right? deb ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/plf/ubuntu/plf/ dapper free non-free
[07:04] <PavelG> i'll look at it
[07:04] <cwillu> Orgullomoore: it's probably not if it doesn't ring a bell (i.e., connecting via a badly configured vpn, etc)
[07:04] <[NP] Tangent> anybody know why text doesn't display right in Flash animations in firefox?
[07:04] <mikere> knight488: I know the feeling - I moved all my linux gaming stuff to my laptop since it's nvidia - had so many problems with ATI drivers.  Their installer is crap ><
[07:04] <Timir> mikere, Erk, how would one do that? =/ I installed the 3 CDs(All that were in the install)
[07:04] <snoops> Orgullomoore oh hmm.. is the network connections (both) bridged with the router?
[07:04] <suedoh> anyone know how you can get codecs or plugins installed to play video files properly with TOTEM ?
[07:04] <PavelG> wait, i can't really modify anything
[07:05] <PavelG> i don't want to have to reburn
[07:05] <Cornellius> I have 2 ubuntus in the grub menu at boot... How can I delete one ? (I know what I'm doing)
[07:05] <Timir> the 3 CDs of the flavor*
[07:05] <mikere> Timir: I don't know - have never installed NWN on linux yet - tho I hope to soon
[07:05] <PavelG> i am just surprised that the install window will not run on a small resolution
[07:05] <cwillu> Cornellius: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:05] <argarg> how do I mount ntfs drives? i can see them under places -> computer, but i can't load them
[07:05] <pvd> I get  Unable to fetch file, server said 'Failed to open file. when I try to use the PLF repository
[07:05] <snoops> Cornellius sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:05] <PavelG> i can't resize it either
[07:05] <Cornellius> cwillu: thanks
[07:05] <suedoh> i guess I may be ignored?
[07:05] <mikere> Timir: usually tehre's a readme file that tells you the system requirements
[07:05] <Orgullomoore> snoops, I'm no networking expert...but when 1 is active, the other is not...I don't know how to make them both work at the same time. When I disconnect one, the other one takes over
[07:05] <suedoh> can people see me speak?
[07:06] <cwillu> suedoh, follow the directions on mp3
[07:06] <cwillu> !mp3

[07:06] <bruenig> PavelG, the easiest way is probably to just get the alternate cd, it's smaller shouldn't take long to download
[07:06] <Timir> mikere, I didn't actually install NWN on it, on Bioware's site they have the download for the stand-alone server to host your own game
[07:06] <argarg> yeah, we can suedoh, if you're ignored it's likely people don't know or you're asking a question they don't want to answer ;P
[07:06] <snoops> why do you have two connected Orgullomoore (do you need two?)
[07:06] <argarg> I get ignored all the time
[07:06] <Cornellius> Reinstalled Ubuntu with another FS but grub still show both :)
[07:06] <argarg> !ntfs
[07:06] <cwillu> argarg: suedoh:  or have answered 3 times in the last ten minutes :)
[07:06] <PavelG> well, i'll go do it
[07:06] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[07:06] <PavelG> thanks
[07:06] <mikere> Timir: do they have a howto on installing the server?
[07:06] <snoops> feels like conflicts to me Orgullomoore.. if they're configured with the same lan ip etc
[07:07] <Timir> mikere, Basically slap it in, run it, and it's suppose-to do it's thing, are you on broadband? You could try it yourself
[07:07] <cwillu> !cwillu mp3
[07:07] <ubotu> I know nothing about cwillu mp3
[07:07] <suedoh> thanks
[07:07] <Orgullomoore> snoops, no, I don't need two. I just connected the second one after having so many problems with the first and figured it might help. But it doesn't.
[07:07] <knight488> mikere, yeah, this is the first time I ever had an ATI card, what a nightmare. Not to mention having to redo it all over again when I decided to downgrade from 64bit to 32bit ubuntu
[07:07] <DrewMarin> Anybody know how to set up dual monitors with one monitor on s-video?? I have an ati onboard card on this lappy
[07:07] <mikere> Timir: linke me the url - I'll give it a shot
[07:07] <snoops> want to paste your ifconfig in pastebin Orgullomoore?
[07:07] <Timir> mikere, I warn you, it's a 300MB download
[07:07] <Orgullomoore> snoops, sure
[07:08] <Timir> mikere, They were jerks and bundled the Mac, Windows, and Linux versions together
[07:08] <mikere> Timir: hmm... I might not finish tonight - will take 10-30 mins to DL =0
[07:08] <mo0se> thanks, mikere. i found out that they actually are different.
[07:08] <mikere> mo0se: right on
[07:09] <mikere> mo0se: I have 5 or 6 listed on my boot screen these days
[07:09] <DrewMarin> guess nobody can help with svid
[07:09] <Orgullomoore> snoops, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16676
[07:09] <argarg> is using the NTFS fuse model dangerous?
[07:09] <mikere> Timir: link it anyway - I'll give it a shot
[07:09] <mo0se> haha. yeah. it was just irking me.
[07:09] <argarg> model - module
[07:10] <mikere> DrewMarin: I had svid working on breezy but can't recall how
[07:10] <Timir> mikere, http://nwn.bioware.com/downloads/linuxclient.html Link to install it on Linux, http://nwn.bioware.com/downloads/standaloneserver.html Server thing
[07:10] <DrewMarin> mikere: dang
[07:10] <snoops> ta Orgullomoore
[07:10] <Timir> mikere, There's not many people downloading the server, I hit 600-700kb/s down
[07:11] <mikere> DrewMarin: sorry, man - on my ati based machine there was a utility from ati to enable it if i recall correctly - with the ass backward flaky proprietary driver
[07:11] <suedoh> anyone know why i dont have totem-gstreamer when i try to do a apt-get
[07:11] <Orgullomoore> snoops, excuse me?
[07:11] <bruenig> !info totem-gstreamer

[07:11] <bruenig> suedoh, you tried sudo apt-get install totem-gstreamer?
[07:11] <foxiness> suedoh: enable other reps
[07:11] <argarg> I just used the auto mount partition script, and it's not letting me open my NTFS partitions /: now just trying to get into them doesn't give me an error, but does nothing
[07:12] <argarg> nevermind, it just magically started working now
[07:12] <snoops> Orgullomoore 'ta a way of saying thanks'.. anyway, those errors aren't nice at all.. could be packet collisons or something
[07:13] <snoops> Orgullomoore, want to try with just one card (just the new one)
[07:13] <suedoh> weird, got it installed still cant play the codecs
[07:13] <Orgullomoore> snoops, sounds like a good idea, I'll disconnect the first and we'll see how it goes
[07:13] <suedoh> and damn mplayer wont compile on Ubuntu
[07:13] <foxiness> guys www.linux.org not work ?
[07:13] <suedoh> how do you find out if you have Dapper Drake or the other?
[07:13] <mikere> Timir: should be 10-11 mins
[07:13] <snoops> suedoh err? it's in the universal repositories
[07:13] <bruenig> suedoh, you can get mplayer by apt-get to
[07:13] <bruenig> too*
[07:13] <nicolas_> anyone got diamondcard incoming calls working with ekiga ?
[07:13] <suedoh> nope
[07:14] <suedoh> only kmplayer
[07:14] <Madpilot> foxiness, that URL works here, if that's what you wanted to know
[07:14] <suedoh> no mplayer in the apt-get
[07:14] <Timir> mikere, gonna be on that long?
[07:14] <bruenig> suedoh, have you enabled the extra repositories?

[07:14] <suedoh> bruenig: how do you enable the extra repos?
[07:15] <foxiness> Madpilot: yes thank you ,but on my side it not
[07:15] <bruenig> suedoh, do this command sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:15] <Orgullo_moore> oops, disconnected the wrong one :P
[07:15] <suedoh> universe repos i assume
[07:15] <snoops> suedoh or open up synaptic package manager, click options, then repositories.. then tick the ones you want
[07:15] <bruenig> suedoh, when you get in that file remove all of the #'s from in front of anything that starts with deb following by a url and then something
[07:15] <foxiness> Madpilot: it work now after i do refreash for the page ,thank you
[07:16] <suedoh> thanks guys, i appreciate it
[07:16] <suedoh> been a while since ive used Debian based OS
[07:16] <suedoh> and apt-get :)
[07:16] <BSoDirl> here here :>
[07:16] <foxiness> suedoh: ok enjey :)
[07:16] <mikere> apt is very nice - if it weren't created it wouldn't have inspired all the other distros to create clones of it
[07:17] <someothernick> !pastebin
[07:17] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[07:17] <bosco> has anyone messed with or changed the image that comes up when you start up ubuntu
[07:17] <suedoh> E: Package mplayer has no installation candidate
[07:17] <suedoh> all packages have been un-commented
[07:18] <suedoh> and apt-get has been updated
[07:18] <suedoh> weird :-(
[07:18] <bruenig> bosco, do you mean the gdm?
[07:18] <foxiness> mikere: yes it very nice tool ,am come from yum , and i know how will this tool it good,but i think it need more work like apt-get update for dail-up user
[07:19] <bosco> bruenig, the ubuntu image when you start up above your start up script
[07:19] <foxiness> suedoh: use add/remove app
[07:19] <OrgulloKmoore> snoops, it happened again :(
[07:20] <mo0se> what's the equivalent to ipconfig in ubuntu?
[07:20] <BSoDirl> ohhh the bootsplsh
[07:20] <OrgulloKmoore> mo0se, ifconfig
[07:20] <BSoDirl> mo0se: ifconfig
[07:20] <BSoDirl> :>
[07:20] <foxiness> ifconfig
[07:20] <OrgulloKmoore> I win :P
[07:20] <mo0se> lol.
[07:20] <mo0se> thanks.
[07:20] <foxiness> OrgulloKmoore: haha yes you win this
[07:20] <BSoDirl> aww :[
[07:20] <BSoDirl> the dialup guy is foiled again
[07:20] <bosco> has anyone messed with or changed the image that comes up when you start up ubuntu
[07:21] <mo0se> hahaha.
[07:21] <BSoDirl> :>
[07:21] <foxiness> BSoDirl: haha
[07:21] <suedoh> foxiness: add doesn't work
[07:21] <suedoh> it says E: Unimplemented
[07:21] <BSoDirl> It took me half an hour to refresh the repo's
[07:21] <BSoDirl> *claps*
[07:22] <OrgulloKmoore> I suppose that's the good thing about Linux (and other free) projects. You just step in a chatroom, and people are eager to help you :)
[07:22] <OrgulloKmoore> The downside is that no one is obligated to help you
[07:23] <mikere> Timir: interesting - I should be able to copy or mebbe just symlink my nwn install from my windows partition when i download the client
[07:23] <theblue> OrgulloKmoore, Both good points.
[07:23] <BSoDirl> ...or they just ban you for saying "su"
[07:23] <OrgulloKmoore> heh
[07:23] <mikere> Timir: you read readme.linuxdedserver.txt ?
[07:23] <BSoDirl> a certain op *points at no one in particular* did that to me.
[07:25] <Timir> mikere, I think so
[07:25] <DocTomoe> PHP5 will not run with apache2 on my dapper box, but /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5* exist and apache has been restarted. What can I do?
[07:25] <Timir> mikere, What I'm doing on it to get segmentation fault is module Chapter1E
[07:26] <Timir> I renamed the folder it unzipped to to nwnserver and it started recognizing the modules as being there
[07:26] <mikere> Timir: it's working now?
[07:27] <cwillu> I've got a dosemu app that I have to print reports from
[07:27] <cwillu> I can get output, but the formatting is wrong (lines are wrapping from being too long)
[07:28] <cwillu> how can I convince cups to allow me to format/filter the output, or convert from the hp laserjet 4 output to something the printer understands?
[07:29] <mikere> Timir: extracting now
[07:29] <_chris__> i need ubuntu excting ... switching distrubutions i think
[07:29] <_chris__> why is ubuntu so boring :|
[07:30] <_chris__> :P
[07:30] <snoops> what were you expecting?
[07:30] <nicolas_> _chris__: try debian sid
[07:30] <askarali> hi
[07:30] <crimsun> _chris__: install emacs, and find a world of hurt^H^Hjoy.
[07:30] <DocTomoe> bells and whistles and cars blowing up ;)
[07:30] <_chris__> been using it for a year
[07:30] <cwillu> giggle
[07:30] <_chris__> emacs? whats that
[07:30] <askarali> how to reinstall grub?
[07:30] <Chetwin> Who do i thank for this Distro?!?
[07:30] <Chetwin> 6.06 is the most beautiful thing I've ever used
[07:30] <_chris__> thank you Chetwin
[07:30] <crimsun> Chetwin: yourself for downloading it.
[07:31] <BSoDirl> Shuttleworth :>
[07:31] <snoops> xgl/compiz is exciting and runs great (at least for me) on dapper _chris__
[07:31] <askarali> I lost the grub menu after reinstalling M$
[07:31] <DocTomoe> crimsun: NOW you've done it. Recommanding emacs should be a punishable offense
[07:31] <_chris__> xgl/compiz im on dapper
[07:31] <Timir> mikere, No, the module loading is giving the segmentation fault
[07:31] <Chetwin> LoL @ DocTomoe

[07:32] <askarali> ?
[07:32] <DocTomoe> crimsun: why not recommending bungee jumping w/o ropes - is just as fun, but only hurts once
[07:32] <BSoDirl> screenshot of .... what?
[07:32] <snoops> askarali.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[07:32] <BSoDirl> :|
[07:32] <askarali> snoops, thanks looking
[07:33] <mikere> Timir: it's running fine for me
[07:33] <snoops> BSoDirl compiz I'm assuming.. but screenshots can't do it justice
[07:33] <mikere> Timir: might want to reextract from the download or redownload?
[07:33] <BSoDirl> uh what is compiz?
[07:33] <_chris__> what the hell is emacs!
[07:33] <_chris__> :P
[07:33] <mikere> Timir: you are running ./nwnserver and not nwnserver.exe yes?
[07:33] <_chris__> *shurgs* is it fun?
[07:33] <snoops> a compositing manager for xgl BSoDirl.. replaces metacity
[07:33] <BSoDirl> I cant even get xgl working with my card :|
[07:34] <cwillu> _chris__: emacs is an operating system, that runs under pretty much any other os
[07:34] <BSoDirl> I gotta dl like 40m of crap on dialup.
[07:34] <BSoDirl> ...and that ain't happening tonight.
[07:34] <DocTomoe> _chris__: just as fun as getting hit by an burmese assault tank
[07:34] <mikere> Timir: do you have to manually load the module?
[07:34] <_chris__> hows it work?
[07:34] <DocTomoe> PHP5 will not run with apache2 on my dapper box, but /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5* exist and apache has been restarted. What can I do?
[07:34] <cwillu> _chris__: although it's disguised as an editor
[07:34] <snoops> heh, linux on dialup must be painful.. I wouldn't even bother with xgl or compiz then BSoDirl.. they're both still alpha products so have new cvs releases every few days, which aren't too small
[07:34] <_chris__> cwillu ... what does it allow me to do?
[07:35] <BSoDirl> I only asked because someone said "screenshot" and mentioned my name for no real reason.
[07:35] <BSoDirl> :>
[07:35] <P-NuT> Hi all, I'm trying to compile mpg123r from source, before you say it, YES i know that mpg321 has replaced it, but I need it for asterisk
[07:35] <snoops> ;)
[07:35] <P-NuT> but it's not working for me.
[07:35] <BSoDirl> I wish canonical would send me extra package CDs lol
[07:35] <P-NuT> any ideas on why?
[07:35] <DocTomoe> P-NuT: your error description is not helpful
[07:35] <P-NuT> ok
[07:35] <P-NuT> one sec.
[07:35] <P-NuT> I'll b more verbose
[07:35] <BSoDirl> just sneak a package of universe/multiverse apps into my dapper cd's via shipit :)
[07:36] <_chris__> what does emacs do?
[07:36] <P-NuT> ok pastebin..
[07:36] <DocTomoe> _chris__: basically, it is a glorivied, 1970s style text editor that mutated into something ... else.
[07:36] <mikere> Timir: succesfully loaded Tournament of Champions 0492 module
[07:36] <foxiness> BSoDirl: is that on DVD ver?

[07:37] <_chris__> DocTomoe :| i want to be in the world of text based...
[07:37] <DocTomoe> _chris__: there is something like a holy war between emacs users and vi users ... whis is quite pathetic, because every sane person agrees that vi(m) is superior
[07:37] <DocTomoe> ;)
[07:37] <foxiness> BSoDirl: am dailup user too,and the dvd ver has from 5000 to 7000 package i think
[07:37] <BSoDirl> get dopewars in uni/multiverse :>
[07:37] <BSoDirl> text-based fun for the whole family.
[07:38] <BSoDirl> GOD, I gotta find the DVD then.
[07:38] <P-NuT> DocTomoe: is it because dapper server has no sound support?
[07:38] <BSoDirl> I'll take it to my mom's house, and split it on CDs :)
[07:38] <mikere> Timir: correction - Contest of Champions 0492
[07:38] <_chris__> :| text based to burn cds. play music, chat, browse web (google searches) and what not

[07:42] <Evilscietnist> I've got the server all set up (I think)...but windows xp can't login to the domain.
[07:42] <BSoDirl> Hmm
[07:42] <mikere> Evilscietnist: oh, you mean you have samba server set up as domain controller?
[07:43] <Warbo> BSoDirl: If you need graphics or stuff later then try and find me :)

[07:43] <Evilscietnist> yes, yes

[07:46] <Evilscietnist> heh
[07:46] <jrsims> how can I start a program in terminal so that I don't need to keep the terminal window open after the program starts? Like firefox for example?
[07:46] <theblue> jrsims, Just type a space and put an & after the program name.
[07:46] <cwillu> jrsims: put a & after the command, or hit ctrl+z in the terminal and then type bg
[07:46] <Warbo> jrsims: add an "&" after it (so "firefox &")
[07:46] <theblue> jrsims, so :
[07:46] <cwillu> theblue: space isn't neccessary
[07:46] <theblue> jrsims, "mozilla-firefox &"
[07:46] <jrsims> ok cool
[07:46] <jrsims> I think I get it. thanks.
[07:47] <theblue> cwillu, Ah, thanks.
[07:47] <theblue> jrsims, no problem.
[07:47] <cydrive> can someone help me getting universe enabled so i can update flash and all my other software
[07:47] <jrsims> is there a reason the character & is used?
[07:47] <jrsims> like why & and not % or something else?
[07:47] <theblue> jrsims, i think it's because you can chain up another command after it, but I'm not entirely sure.
[07:48] <theblue> cydrive, absolutely, what version of Ubuntu do you have?
[07:48] <jrsims> ah
[07:48] <Evilscietnist> anyone else brave enough to help?
[07:48] <cydrive> i have the new version 6.06 dapper
[07:48] <theblue> cydrive, well, i haven't used dapper yet, though i'm pretty sure it's the same.
[07:48] <theblue> cydrive, crack open a terminal, please.
[07:49] <cydrive> ok
[07:49] <cydrive> its open
[07:49] <theblue> cydrive, now, type 'cd /etc/apt'
[07:49] <theblue> cydrive, and type 'ls'
[07:50] <cydrive> apt.conf    secring.gpg   sources.list.d     trustdb.gpg  trusted.gpg~
[07:50] <cydrive> apt.conf.d  sources.list  sources.list.save  trusted.gpg
[07:50] <theblue> ok ,good.
[07:50] <theblue> now, type 'sudo nano sources.list'
[07:50] <Evilscietnist> okay...silly question then.
[07:51] <achandra> anybody aware of how to "irq steer" or change an irq that a device is associated with in linux or ubuntu?
[07:51] <theblue> or 'sudo gedit sources.list'
[07:51] <Evilscietnist> I've setup (CLI ) a domain server with Samba.
[07:51] <theblue> cydrive, depending on your favorite editor.
[07:51] <cydrive> i dont really have a fav im new to linux based enviorments
[07:51] <Evilscietnist> ....can I install xubuntu or kubuntu on the system as a GUI for said server?
[07:51] <cydrive> i used the first one you gave me
[07:52] <theblue> cydrive, well, i recommend gedit if you want something graphical.
[07:52] <Warbo> theblue: use "gksudo" for graphical apps, in case config files get overwritten by root-owned ones
[07:52] <theblue> Warbo, Ah, wasn't it gksu?
[07:52] <cydrive> i used the first one anyways what should i do noe?
[07:52] <achandra> EvilScietnist: is there a reason you need X? why not keep it headless.
[07:53] <cydrive> now*
[07:53] <Warbo> theblue: I think gksu is for su, gksudo is for sudo. Ubuntu generally encourages sudo over su
[07:53] <theblue> cydrive, could you type ctrl-x, please?
[07:53] <theblue> cydrive, and type 'gksudo gedit sources.list'?
[07:53] <cydrive> sure
[07:53] <Evilscietnist> achandra....might be easier to setup shares and the like in GUI??
[07:53] <theblue> Warbo, Ok, then, and KDE uses kdesu and kdesudo?
[07:54] <cydrive> ok i got a new editor
[07:54] <Warbo> theblue: Sorry, I don't know (but I know there are tools which do that, just not their names)
[07:54] <theblue> cydrive, Ok, could you use pastebin and copy+paste that file into pastebin, so I can see what you have?
[07:54] <BSoDirl> After getting banned in this channel for recommending that someone "su", I learned that Ubuntu recommends sudo :>
[07:54] <Evilscietnist> LOL
[07:54] <cydrive> whats pastebin? im sorry like i said im new to this
[07:54] <theblue> BSoDirl, does Ubuntu even have su?
[07:55] <Evilscietnist> yep
[07:55] <theblue> !tell cydrive about pastebin
[07:55] <Evilscietnist> I think it does...
[07:55] <BSoDirl> yeah
[07:55] <BSoDirl> :>\
[07:55] <achandra> Evilscientnist: IMHO...if you really want to learn samba, its interoperability and be able to debug issuesand problems, Id stick with no gui version. Also it will give a chance to truly understand where things are placed for samba.. my two cents
[07:55] <Warbo> BSoDirl: In my experience one doesn't get banned, just subjected to constant abusive messages
[07:55] <BSoDirl> I don't like typing 'sudo' all the time.
[07:55] <BSoDirl> Warbo: tell that to Seveas.
[07:55] <Warbo> BSoDirl: "sudo -s -H"
[07:55] <BSoDirl> I said "Jeeesus, don't have a hissyfit"
[07:55] <criptic> lol
[07:55] <BSoDirl> and then I see "you have been banned from #ubuntu, *Hissyfit..*"
[07:56] <theblue> BSoDirl, you can type 'sudo bash' and get a root shell.
[07:56] <criptic> some people do get carried away
[07:56] <Evilscietnist> achandra....tru dat...and I think I've got it set up right...I just can't login to the bugger with windows.
[07:56] <BSoDirl> *sigh*
[07:56] <achandra> Evilscietnist: did you set up the smbuser allowed to log in to it?
[07:56] <Evilscietnist> I've got the user that I've added 2 users...
[07:56] <cydrive> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16678
[07:57] <Evilscietnist> 1. admin account used when creating server (inital install)
[07:57] <Evilscietnist> 2.  another account made after server set up.
[07:57] <achandra> Evilscietnist: I think you might have added the so-called unix users...but did you do the smbpasswd -a  thing..?
[07:57] <Evilscietnist> yes.
[07:57] <theblue> cydrive, ok, gedit's still open, right?
[07:57] <cydrive> yeah
[07:57] <Evilscietnist> and unix smb passwords are synced
[07:57] <achandra> hmm..okay..
[07:57] <theblue> cydrive, ok lemme check your sources.list file.
[07:57] <ikabot> Hi guys. I'm trying to use MIDI on Ubuntu, but KMid and Rosegarden complain about the absence of /dev/sequencer. Has anyone seen this before?
[07:58] <rob138> is it possible to ssh into my friends computer that is on wireless at his house on a router?
[07:58] <knight488> could someone take a quick look at my xorg.conf file? I have a feelin something is messed up in it...
[07:58] <achandra> is samba server started?
[07:58] <achandra> listening on port 389? i think..
[07:58] <Warbo> ikabot: Generally you use software synthesisers like timidity++ and fluidsynth, try installing one (or both) of them
[07:58] <theblue> knight488, I'm no expert on it, but if you pastebin it, i'll compare it to mine.
[07:58] <Evilscietnist> yes...and is listed in network neighbourhood.
[07:58] <snoops> or sudo -i theblue
[07:58] <Evilscietnist> windows can see the server.
[07:58] <theblue> snoops, true.
[07:58] <theblue> cydrive, ok, this is easy.
[07:59] <theblue> cydrive, see those lines that have # (not ##) before them?
[07:59] <achandra> okay... cool we've established all of the preliminary stuff is okay....what is wrong exactly??
[07:59] <cydrive> yeah
[07:59] <knight488> theblue, pastebin?
[07:59] <theblue> !tell knight488 about pastebin
[07:59] <Evilscietnist> so windows logon screen... user should = "sambaworkgroup"\user; password = <smbpassword>....yes?
[07:59] <ehtotam> woo hoo, I fixed my computer
[07:59] <ehtotam> if anyone is on when I was earlier thanks
[07:59] <theblue> cydrive, just delete the # before the repositories you want to enable.
[08:00] <theblue> cydrive, when you're done, save the file and then run 'sudo apt-get update'
[08:00] <theblue> cydrive, and you're all done.
[08:00] <Warbo> ehtotam: What a waste. Should have been "Woo hoo! I've fixed my compu<connection reset by peer>"
[08:00] <rob138> is it possible to ssh into my friends computer that is on wireless at his house on a router?
[08:00] <achandra> that "appears" to be correct.
[08:00] <cydrive> ok so the repositores i want to enable should have no # in front of them?
[08:00] <BSoDirl> rob138: yep
[08:00] <Evilscietnist> yep....window just blinks and nothing happens....
[08:00] <rob138> BSoDirl, how should i do that?
[08:00] <Flashq009> Hello.  I have loaded the live cd, but I am trying to change the resolution from the default of 640x480, which is the only option listed in the screen resolution dialog box.  How do I change it to 1024x768 or higher?
[08:00] <achandra> Evilscientnist: i might suggest looking at logs in /var/log
[08:01] <theblue> cydrive, right.
[08:01] <theblue> cydrive, # tells apt to ignore that line.
[08:01] <cydrive> ok thank you im gonna try it
[08:01] <ehtotam> lol
[08:01] <Evilscietnist> okay....what am I looking for?
[08:01] <ehtotam> nothing like a good nerdy joke...
[08:01] <theblue> cydrive, No problem, and if it doesn't work (but I swear it will), I'll stick around in here.
[08:01] <KenSentMe> !fixedresolution > Flashq009
[08:01] <ubotu> I know nothing about fixedresolution
[08:01] <Evilscietnist> and in CLI...how do you navigate to that....<sigh>
[08:02] <achandra> Evilscietnist: specifically running a tail -f /var/log/messages ... assuming that is the sysout for samba.. did you try that...you are looking for deny or whatever.. is in the log...
[08:02] <KenSentMe> !resolution > Flashq009
[08:02] <achandra> Evilscietnist: that may help you debug the problem..
[08:02] <KenSentMe> Flashq009: check what ubotu sent you
[08:02] <Flashq009> ok thanks
[08:03] <knight488> theblue, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16679
[08:03] <achandra> EvilScietnist: using pastebin...would it be possible to paste your smb.conf file...im curious..
[08:03] <Evilscietnist> lists serveral times....each with "server --MARK--
[08:03] <ehtotam> well Warbo having never been on this Chat besides today I can't get in every inside joke.
[08:03] <Evilscietnist> okay....pastebin.....???
[08:03] <achandra> !pastebin
[08:03] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[08:04] <Warbo> ehtotam: That's Slashdot humour at it's highest, that is :)
[08:04] <cydrive> does anyone know the line of code to update flash?
[08:04] <theblue> knight488, Ok, gimme a second.
[08:04] <Warbo> cydrive: Update the package?
[08:04] <achandra> Evilscietnist: did you get that?
[08:04] <Warbo> cydrive: (you realise there is no native Flash 8 for Linux?)
[08:04] <ehtotam> ahh, I'm usually over at Digg... and most of the time ignore the comments lots of whiners.
[08:05] <cydrive> what version is it up to?
[08:05] <Evilscietnist> yes....but no real way to do it from the CLI...
[08:05] <spades> 7
[08:05] <Warbo> cydrive: 7.0.1.something I think
[08:05] <cydrive> im also guessing they dont have new version of realplayer
[08:05] <Warbo> cydrive: You can use Windows Firefox in WINE aqnd install Flash 8 in that
[08:05] <achandra> Evilscietnist: do you have another linux box?? or are you on windows right now
[08:05] <Evilscietnist> on windows....
[08:05] <cydrive> yeah i want to view it in firefox
[08:06] <achandra> Evilscietnist: can you ssh to the box with smb on it via putty ?
[08:06] <cydrive> how would i do that Warbo?
[08:06] <theblue> knight488, well, i can't see any glaring errors, though I really don't know.
[08:06] <Warbo> cydrive: get WINE "sudo apt-get install wine" then go on getfirefox.com and get the Windows version, then go on a Flash site with it and it will ge tFlash 8 plugin for you
[08:06] <Evilscietnist> honestly.....no idea
[08:06] <theblue> knight488, the file looks well-formed to me.
[08:06] <OrgulloKmoore> snoops I've been connected for nearly an hour now. That's better than I've ever got before on Ubuntu, so I'm gonna go ahead and close the book on this. Thank you very much.
[08:06] <snoops> Warbo it all goes to hell if you're on amd64 of course :)
[08:07] <cydrive> can wine use all windows apps?
[08:07] <Evilscietnist> I'm a total linux NOOB!!!  <sigh>
[08:07] <achandra> Evilscietnist:  download putty on your windows box...a google search for it will get it for you quickly..
[08:07] <snoops> hey, awesome OrgulloKmoore..
[08:07] <Warbo> cydrive: (To use Windows programs in WINE just do "wine programname.exe", or double click it's icon [but you will get no output to look through if it goes wrong] )
[08:07] <theblue> cydrive, well, that really depends.
[08:08] <knight488> theblue, theres suppost to be more than one device, screen and stuff?
[08:08] <cydrive> Warbo wqhen i type in the command you gave me i get this Package wine is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[08:08] <cydrive> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[08:08] <cydrive> is only available from another source
[08:08] <cydrive> E: Package wine has no installation candidate
[08:08] <Evilscietnist> ooh.....wait...I just had a successfully login!!!  holy crap!
[08:08] <theblue> knight488, yeah, that's normal.
[08:08] <theblue> knight488, but you really should ask someone else for details.
[08:08] <achandra> Evilscietnist: cool..
[08:09] <theblue> Evilscietnist, gratz.
[08:09] <Warbo> cydrive: Are you in amd64?
[08:09] <achandra> Evilscietnist: what changed things??
[08:09] <knight488> theblue, I'm trying to figure out why accelerated graphics isn't working with my ATI card, thought maybe it was an xorg.conf mistake, wrong things getting loaded...
[08:09] <Evilscietnist> no bloody clue.
[08:09] <achandra> lol
[08:09] <achandra> those are the best...
[08:09] <cwillu> how do I suspend a task, other than the process manager?
[08:09] <ehtotam> Is Ubunto not able to read ntfs file systems?
[08:09] <Evilscietnist> used the accound I made....instead of the "admin" account.
[08:10] <snoops> it can read them fine ehtotam
[08:10] <OrgulloKmoore> cwillu sudo kill pid number
[08:10] <KenSentMe> !tell ehtotam about ntfs
[08:10] <cydrive> i have an amd 64 ut what do you mean in it?
[08:10] <ehtotam> hmm...
[08:10] <cwillu> OrgulloKmoore: does that kill it or suspend it?
[08:10] <Warbo> ehtotam: Read yes, Write no (well, yes but it's complicated and unreliable)
[08:10] <BSoDirl> ehtotam: read-only access.
[08:10] <achandra> Evilscientist: I would also highly recommend getting openssh server running on that box, and download winscp and putty to adminster it..
[08:10] <OrgulloKmoore> cwillu that kills it :P
[08:10] <cha0tic> how much hdd space is required for ubuntu??
[08:11] <theblue> knight488, something might be in the wrong order, but i really don't know.
[08:11] <snoops> they say 1.3gig or something close to that?
[08:11] <Warbo> cydrive: Since pretty much every Windows program is 32bit there is no point making a 64bit WINE, therefore you will have to use this 32bit version. Ask someone about linux32 (the best method) or 32bit chroot (still works, but not as nice)
[08:11] <ehtotam> at least 2 gigs cha0tic that I know I just installed it...
[08:11] <theblue> cha0tic, in my experience, about 2-3 gigs, less if you do the server.
[08:11] <rob138> hi, if i want to link /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2  what is the command?
[08:11] <cha0tic> very much for linux 0o
[08:11] <Ademan> anyone seen the "gimme bar" ?
[08:11] <achandra> cha0tic: tough question to answer...because it really depends on "what" the intended usage is...ie workstation...server...embedded system...or whatever...
[08:11] <Evilscietnist> something definitly isn't right here.
[08:12] <Ademan> http://beatnik.infogami.com/Gimmie
[08:12] <Ademan> it looks very cool
[08:12] <rob138> is it ln -s 1 to 2 or ln -s 2 to 1
[08:12] <knight488> theblue, wait a second
[08:12] <achandra> Evilscietnist: whats up ??
[08:12] <Warbo> Ademan: What does it do? (Does it have a money plugin?)
[08:12] <cwillu> neat, anything sudo hangs
[08:13] <cydrive> warbo thanks i found a tutorial big help thank you alot
[08:13] <snoops> Warbo doesn't wine have some issues hooking up to alsa for sound output? (something very important for flash 8)?
[08:13] <Warbo> cydrive: np
[08:13] <rob138> how do i link /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2  what is the command?
[08:13] <Ademan> Warbo: my understanding is it's very similar to the mac OSX doc, but slightly modified i guess, there are a couple videos in on the bottom, i can't quite describe it
[08:13] <Evilscietnist> I can log into I guess it's the /home and use folder...but when I try to use the same login to log into the domain in the "computer name" section...it won't go.
[08:13] <Chetwin> I'm a complete douche
[08:13] <Chetwin> How do I install a .deb?
[08:13] <spades> sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[08:13] <snoops> double click it Chetic
[08:13] <Evilscietnist> grumble........where's the sledgehammer......grumble.....
[08:13] <Warbo> snoops: I don't think I've ever used an app in WINE that needs sound, but I've only heard positive things so I don't know
[08:13] <Ademan> Chetwin: in dapper you can double click
[08:13] <theblue> Chetwin, 'ipkg -i filename.deb'
[08:13] <knight488> theblue, at the top where it says: Section "ServerLayout" , then under that: Screen      0  "aticonfig-Screen[0] " 0 0..... "aticonfig-Screen[0] " is what it's using?
[08:13] <Chetwin> It tries to open it with ark
[08:14] <Chetwin> And fails
[08:14] <theblue> Chetwin, YOu can do that too.
[08:14] <snoops> Warbo.. hmm I heard people having big issues with skype 2.0 and sound in wine.. lots of lag etc
[08:14] <Chetwin> I'm so lost
[08:14] <knight488> nevermind, I'm lost
[08:14] <theblue> knight488, Look, I really don't know, I don't do much with xorg.conf on my systems.
[08:14] <Chetwin> When I open it with ark, it says denied
[08:14] <achandra> Evilscietnist: Samba can be setup for workgroup environments or act as primary domain controller ( its a bit more complex)....which did you set it up as??
[08:14] <Ademan> Chetwin: "sudo dpkg -i PackageName.deb" don't forget to incude the file path
[08:14] <Chetwin> "The utility is not in your path"
[08:14] <Warbo> snoops: Are you sure that isn't native skype (I know it uses OSS, which hogs the soundcard)
[08:14] <theblue> Chetwin, you need to run it with sudo.
[08:14] <rob138> how do i link /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2  what is the command? sorry to keep asking, i just forget what the syntax, like which comes first
[08:15] <zx8> Join the 9/11 truth community at http://www.truthbox.org/
[08:15] <Chetwin> Yesssssssss
[08:15] <snoops> nope Warbo this was skype 2.0 because bloody skype for linux doesn't support video
[08:15] <Chetwin> Thanks Ademan!
[08:15] <kholerabbi> what's xorg.conf?
[08:15] <Warbo> zx8: Join the Ubuntu Offtopic room in #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:15] <achandra> zx8: I was at One Wilshire to do some stuff with Level 3 last week and saw a bunch of people at the conference...same peeps??
[08:16] <achandra> robl38: ln -s
[08:16] <Ademan> !tell kholerabbi about Xorg
[08:16] <zx8> achandra: no
[08:16] <burivoy> does anybony knows the proper mobile phone manager for ubuntu?
[08:16] <Warbo> snoops: I set up Ekiga on my Dad's machine, then found that it wouldn't go through the NAT on my machine, so I had to uninstall it (port forwarding does not seem to work on my router)
[08:17] <Ademan> oh he's gone
[08:17] <achandra> zx8: they were at the sheraton..near buy..handing out stickers and stuff.. seemed like 911 "truth" group or whatever..
[08:18] <achandra> kholerabbi: allows you configure resoultion, mouse,  touch pad settings, etc..
[08:19] <cwillu> piece of ****
[08:19] <zx8> achandra: in LA?
[08:19] <achandra> yep
[08:19] <zx8> achandra: did you go?
[08:20] <tic1> zx8, why truthbox?
[08:20] <achandra> no....was installinga bunch of Asterisk, Openser stuff.. anyhow...went to get a burger at the Macy's plaza...near the sheraton convention..and saw a heck of alot of peeps there that were all into it..
[08:21] <snoops> Warbo it's very frustrating for me.. the only thing keeping me dualbooting is so I can use skype, flash 8 perfectly, and trillian.. otherwise I would be quite happy with absolute fulltime linux desktop adoption
[08:22] <achandra> snoops: thought there was a skype client for linux, and trillian...like cleint.. but flash is another quagmire way beyond the scope of this forum...
[08:22] <burepe2> there is
[08:22] <Stefano145> hello everybodsy. I have a problem with a window "azureus did not shutdown tidily......" and I click hide but the window remains here
[08:23] <Stefano145> can anybody help me plesase? I usa ubuntu dapper 6.06
[08:23] <burepe2> Stefano145: ask you r questin
[08:23] <snoops> there is achandra, it's just like flash.. a few major release versions out of date
[08:23] <ikabot> I'm using Dapper too.
[08:23] <ikabot> But I can't seem to get my MIDI working.
[08:23] <tic1> stefano145: you have to update to the cvs version. i forget how i did it but check out the azureus page.
[08:23] <ikabot> KMid and Rosegarden both complain of a missing /dev/sequencer.
[08:24] <achandra> Stefano145: you can certainly do a ps -ef  for the process and find its name...then pkill the process...or if you wish to invasive..kill -9 the process number..
[08:24] <ikabot> I don't know if anyone has seen this before, byt if you have, please let me know.
[08:24] <tic1> stefano145, it is pretty simple there is a plugin that does it automatically
[08:24] <Stefano145> can you guive me that page plesae?
[08:24] <Stefano145> ah .. yes .. plug-ins ... what should i do to install plug-ins?
[08:24] <Warbo> snoops: Do you know of any animated SVG tool? I don't think I've seen anything which can handle animation although it is in the specification
[08:25] <snoops> I've heard good things about inkscape Warbo, but could be way off
[08:25] <varsendaggr> can i send faxes with dsl?
[08:25] <tic1> stephano145, just google azureus. it will give you step by step instructions on how to do everything. it is super easy.
[08:25] <achandra> snoops: yeah...I remeber seeing you on the channel maybe two days ago...and I remember the issues...multimedia..issues right? Hopefully it was the same "snoops"....lol
[08:26] <varsendaggr> Warbo, you could try blender or dtpblender
[08:26] <varsendaggr> google dtpblender
[08:26] <Warbo> snoops: Inkscape is great for images, but has no animation support (I have found guides to making SVG animations, but they used a text editor *shudder*)
[08:26] <snoops> yep achandra..same one I hope
[08:26] <achandra> yep..glad to see some regulars on here..lol
[08:27] <tic1> stefano145: the updater plugin is called AZCVSupdater
[08:27] <varsendaggr> Warbo, what are you trying to do?
[08:27] <varsendaggr> snoops, what up?
[08:27] <Warbo> snoops: Well, I say great but it screwed up one of my pictures recently when I added some masks. I filed a bug report and it's now fixed (in SVG at least) but I will never get my picture back :(
[08:27] <snoops> uh.. damn
[08:27] <Stefano145> tic1: what should i do to install a plugin of azureus in linux?
[08:28] <snoops> oh just whining varsendaggr :)
[08:28] <Warbo> varsendaggr: I just want to experiment with SVG animation, and maybe make some scripts to manipulate the XML (creating interactivity). It is not major, just a curiosity (I use 65 Moho to get Flash at the moment)
[08:29] <achandra> Complex question.... In other linux distros the /etc/sysconfig/network directory allows you to create ifcfg-eth0 and so on for ethernet interfaces....There is only one "networking" file in ubuntu.. and the config is a little strange for me.. specifically attempting to create bonded interfaces and stuff.. does anyone have a good guide to aid in understanding how its put together??
[08:29] <varsendaggr> Warbo, blender is a sweet 3d program but you can do that kind of stuff in a 2d program called dtpblender
[08:29] <varsendaggr> Warbo, not exactly flash but better
[08:30] <Warbo> varsendaggr: I will have a look into dtpblender thanks (I have used Blender a little, but have not quite got used to it's interface yet). 3D is not better than 2D, they are just different
[08:31] <varsendaggr> imho   it isn't about 2d or 3d   it is about the program    there is just a lot more one can do with blender.    plus you can get the same look
[08:31] <Cornellius> I have a question here.
[08:31] <tic1> stephano145, check out http://azcvsupdater.sourceforge.net/ there is a readme with install notes.
[08:32] <Cornellius> I can't see my WIndows XP partition from Ubuntu
[08:32] <Cornellius> I have a 250 G that I splitted in 2. 125 G (NTFS XP) and 125 G (Ubuntu)
[08:32] <cwill1> /name cwillu
[08:33] <cwill1> how do I do that...
[08:33] <tic1> stefano145, i installed it and it was easy (and i'm no linux genius) but i forget how i did it.
[08:33] <varsendaggr> Cornellius, !samba
[08:33] <VoX> cwill1: /nick cwillu
[08:33] <Cornellius> no, I dont want to use samba
[08:33] <Cornellius> I remember with another distro
[08:33] <Cornellius> Windows was just there, in /mnt
[08:33] <cwill1> VoX: just had to hard reboot (yay ubuntu... (grrrr)), is there anyway to kick my old username?
[08:34] <Flashq009> is there an XFree86 in ubuntu?
[08:34] <VoX> oh
[08:34] <varsendaggr> yeah you could go to /etc/fstab and see where if it got mounted
[08:34] <VoX> cwill1: is it registered?
[08:34] <cwill1> yes
[08:34] <thoreauputic> !windowsdrives
[08:34] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[08:34] <ikabot> I need to go now. If anyone knows about midi and /dev/sequencer, please email me. isaac@fastsong.co.za
[08:34] <zx8> achandra: did you see any feds there?
[08:34] <thoreauputic> Flashq009: xorg
[08:34] <ikabot> Cheers for now.
[08:34] <Flashq009> ok thanks
[08:34] <varsendaggr> ikabot,
[08:34] <achandra> nope
[08:34] <varsendaggr> just a sec
[08:35] <Cornellius> thoreauputic: Thanks
[08:35] <ikabot> Hi versendaggr.
[08:35] <cwill1> VoX: yes, cwillu is registered, cwill1 isn't though
[08:35] <thoreauputic> Cornellius: :)
[08:35] <VoX> cwill1: /msg nickserv help recover
[08:35] <Cornellius> thoreauputic: I still need Windows for work
[08:36] <thoreauputic> Cornellius: heh - you feel the need to explain your windows habit ? ;-)
[08:36] <OrgulloKmoore> I hate to ask this dumb question, but where is the "run..." button in Gnome. I can find it in KDE and Windows, but....
[08:36] <Cornellius> thoreauputic: No, Linux does not have enough EDAs
[08:36] <ikabot> Open a termina
[08:36] <cwillu> beautiful :)
[08:36] <varsendaggr> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo
[08:37] <varsendaggr> ikabot, ^^^^^
[08:37] <ikabot> Open a terminal, OrgulloKmoore.
[08:37] <varsendaggr> what is an eda
[08:37] <ikabot> Then you can issue commands from the command line.
[08:37] <OrgulloKmoore> ikabot is that the only way?
[08:37] <cwillu> now, back to the original reason I came on today.....
[08:37] <snoops> if you right click on a blank space in your task bars OrgulloKmoore you'll see something like add panel, or add component
[08:37] <varsendaggr> OrgulloKmoore, you can do it differently,   but using the terminal is the best :)
[08:37] <snoops> through there you can add various things
[08:38] <ikabot> Thanks varsendaggr.
[08:38] <ikabot> I'll check that out.
[08:38] <OrgulloKmoore> heh, ok
[08:38] <varsendaggr> ikabot, you bet
[08:38] <snoops> one of those things being a run dialog box
[08:38] <varsendaggr> sound in ubuntu isn't the best yet.....    but it is getting there
[08:38] <claint> after upgrading from breezy to dapper, my xserver stopped working. i did a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, and make a new xorg.conf file, since to no avail. anyone know what to do?
[08:38] <ikabot> Okay. I think I saw that article before.
[08:38] <varsendaggr> claint, try to do it again
[08:39] <cwillu> how easy is it to get rid of the junk that is the gnome-cups-manager?
[08:39] <ikabot> I got TiMidity.
[08:39] <snoops> working great for my audigy 2 zs varsendaggr
[08:39] <claint> varsendaggr : try reconfiguring it again?
[08:39] <ikabot> And JACK also.
[08:39] <ikabot> when I ls /dev, there's no sequencer in that directory.
[08:39] <varsendaggr> claint, how many video cards do you have    do you have an intergrated?
[08:39] <varsendaggr> snoops, good for you
[08:40] <ikabot> I'll try again tonight. I'm at work now, so my Ubuntu box isn't actually with me now.
[08:40] <Warbo> Anybody know how I can find the difference between two lists? I have tried using: cat file1 | grep -vF file2
[08:40] <cwillu> alternatively, how do I make gnome-cups-manager let me print to a file, or a pdf, or a filter, or anything other than a specific printer already attached or on the network?
[08:40] <claint> varsendaggr : 1 i think, it is i810.
[08:41] <ikabot> Oh man, I didn't do the modprobe snd-seq-midi
[08:41] <claint> varsendaggr : come to think of it, i had another package to make it work at 1400x??? resolution.
[08:41] <ikabot> I think that's my problem. Okay. I'll try again tonight and see how it goes.
[08:41] <varsendaggr> claint, i went through the same thing reinstalled breezy twice    figured out that i needed to reconfigure x   and put in the right pci bus
[08:41] <claint> hmmm
[08:42] <claint> varsendaggr : why would the pci bus change? there were no changes to the xorg.conf after the upgrade. i checked.
[08:42] <varsendaggr> claint, lspci  may tell you something,   sounds like you have an intergrated,  how you got 1400x   resolution on a i810   i wouldn't know
[08:42] <varsendaggr> hmmmm   i don't know
[08:42] <ikabot> Thanks versendaggr. I'll let you know how I make out.
[08:42] <ikabot> Cheers all.
[08:42] <varsendaggr> laters
[08:42] <claint> varsendaggr: there is a package called 855resolution, you get the resolution working with that.
[08:43] <cipherd> hi all
[08:43] <varsendaggr> claint, all i can say is good luck i am going to sleep     sorry i couldn't bee more help
[08:43] <cwillu> can anybody at least pretend to know something about my problem?  I'd really appreciate it :)
[08:43] <cipherd> i've downloaded sun-java5-jre and sun-java5-bin  but can't install them 'cause they depend on each other
[08:43] <kholerabbi> I need to back-install from autoconf-2.59 to autoconf 2.13, as the former is buggy, how do I install the older autoconf??
[08:43] <cipherd> what's the solution ?
[08:43] <kholerabbi> cwillu: wahts that problem?
[08:44] <MeGaQuArK> Java Installation anyone?
[08:44] <garryF> A circular dependancy? Aaargh!
[08:44] <cwillu> kholerabbi: printing;
[08:44] <claint> varsendaggr : thanks mate, i'll try your tip.
[08:44] <MeGaQuArK> Why do some pages with Java on them work, while others do not?
[08:44] <cwillu> kholerabbi: the general problem is a bit verbose, but I'd be satisfied if I could set up a virtual printer to print to file
[08:44] <kholerabbi> cwillu: Ah, well I don't have a printer at all, so... ;(
[08:44] <cipherd> so what's the solution to this circular dependency???
[08:44] <cwillu> kholerabbi: ahh, that'd be right up your alley then :)
[08:45] <kholerabbi> Oh! A virtual printer.. hmmmm .....
[08:45] <cwillu> cipherd: any reason you're not installing it from the repository?
[08:45] <cipherd> it isn't there
[08:45] <cipherd> i've searched for it cwillu
[08:45] <cwillu> cipherd: dapper?
[08:45] <garryF> Ok, I know I got the java installed but I'm not sure what ah yes, I remember, I used Easyubuntu, but lately its not been working for some folks so use at your own risk.
[08:45] <garryF> !easyubuntu
[08:45] <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.
[08:45] <kholerabbi> I had a virtual printer on windows, adobe pdf...
[08:46] <cwillu> cipherd: make sure the universe/multiverse repositories are installed
[08:46] <cwillu> !java > cipherd
[08:46] <achandra> MegaQuark: I believe the wiki has the install for the jre...or if your brave you can use.. Automatix...but youll need to be careful
[08:46] <achandra> !wiki
[08:46] <ubotu> wiki is http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Loads of user-contributed documentation
[08:46] <kholerabbi> By default it should print to PostScript -
[08:46] <achandra> !Automatix
[08:46] <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.
[08:46] <cipherd> ok cwillu.
[08:46] <garryF> Ye could probably joing hte channel and thye might be able to tell you if it's working, but I got the gava stuff working easy.
[08:46] <cwillu> kholerabbi: supposedly it's supposed to be easy on cups, but it looks like the config on ubuntu doesn't work at all
[08:47] <MeGaQuArK> I did use the automatrix, weeks ago, when it was updated for Dapper.
[08:47] <garryF> Supposedly Easyubuntu works for breezy and dapper both now.
[08:48] <kholerabbi> cwillu: Be default it prints out postscript files (.ps), open Firefox -> file -> print -> tick "Print to File", then print and see if it works for you
[08:48] <iamelite> I was playing UT2004, and my sound was Chopping and tweaking out. can anyone help me?
[08:49] <Cornellius> CaptiveNTFS ftw !
[08:49] <cwillu> kholerabbi: I need it to be its own printer device though;  the program is an old terminal beat;  I've got it printing via cups, but I need to work on some formatting/filtering, but I can't get _anything_ working from the commandline other than straight to the printer
[08:50] <cwillu> kholerabbi: lpr
[08:50] <garryF> The only time I had similar sound issues was when I had certain channels turned on in alsamixer when I was not supposed to. It was a lot of squealing and scratchiness. I had to keep fiddling, turning volume down and up till I got it working.
[08:50] <iamelite> Anyone?
[08:50] <kholerabbi> cwillu: Hmmm... can't help then :(
[08:50] <Cornellius> !captiventfs
[08:50] <ubotu> I know nothing about captiventfs
[08:50] <cwillu> kholerabbi: but you're supposed to pretend that you can!  :)
[08:51] <achandra> !beer
[08:51] <ubotu> I know nothing about beer
[08:51] <kholerabbi> oh .. hehe (ummm.. look it up on wikipedia, you might even get pictures o_O)
[08:51] <MeGaQuArK> Can someone try an Address that has Java for me? Please go to http://andre.facadecomputer.com/nes/ and select one of the games. Does it work for you?
[08:51] <achandra> darn...
[08:51] <garryF> !computers
[08:51] <ubotu> I know nothing about computers
[08:51] <Cornellius> I HIGHLY suggest that doing !ntfs or !captiventfs brings that link http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/

[08:52] <Cornellius> Easiest way to read AND write on an NTFS partition
[08:52] <mDot> MeGaQuArKworks for me
[08:52] <garryF> Thats hilarious. I got the bot to say it didn't know anything about computers.
[08:52] <cwillu> !what you say
[08:52] <ubotu> I know nothing about what you say
[08:53] <garryF> !linux
[08:53] <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
[08:53] <cwillu> !cups
[08:53] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[08:53] <blocky> !women
[08:53] <ubotu> The women and men of the Ubuntu women project hang out in #ubuntu-women. Encouraging women to use linux? Read http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Encourage-Women-Linux-HOWTO/ for some suggestions compiled by women who use Linux on how to do so effectively.
[08:53] <mDot> im in a pinch and need to use a camera to read a SD memory card. The camera connects, but I can't figure out how to mount it as a drive
[08:53] <blocky> lol
[08:53] <achandra> MegaQuaArK: works for me...here... bubble bobbble works...lol
[08:54] <garryF> !nerds
[08:54] <ubotu> I know nothing about nerds
[08:54] <johanbr> cwillu: For me, for instance when I print from evince, I get "Print to PDF" and "Print to Postscript" printer entries. Does that not help you?
[08:54] <iamelite> I am getting really bad, choppy sound when playing UT2004 in ubuntu. can anyone help me?
[08:55] <garryF> What is ut2004?
[08:55] <tonyyarusso> Guys, please stop fishing in the channel.  You can /msg ubotu if you wish.
[08:55] <cwillu> johanbr: do they show up as printers themselves, or as options on a printer?
[08:55] <iamelite> Unreal tournament 2004
[08:55] <blocky> iamelite, are you using a sound server?
[08:55] <MeGaQuArK> Hmmm, when I try it, I get the Firefox message about Installing Missing Plug-Ins. Any Suggestions?
[08:55] <garryF> True, it just wouldn't have been as funny.
[08:55] <iamelite> blocky, only what was installed with the OS. (so i have sound but...)
[08:55] <johanbr> cwillu: Well, I'd say they show up as menu options. They're not quite printers...
[08:56] <iamelite> blocky, then again... i might not know what you mean by sound server
[08:56] <achandra> MeGaQuarK: the jre1.5 that comes with the Automatix...plus.. the swift browser...worked for me flawlessly..
[08:56] <achandra> however..if you are using 64 bit...it will install 32 bit to make things work..
[08:57] <MeGaQuArK> Double Hmm, I used the Java that was installing by the Automatrix, and the normal Firefox.
[08:58] <blocky> iamelite, are you running ubuntu or kubuntu (gnome or kde)
[08:58] <iamelite> blocky, gnome
[08:58] <kholerabbi> How do I extract in terminal a tar.gz?
[08:58] <iamelite> blocky: ubuntu
[08:59] <cwillu> okay, printing as postscript ends up in lpr, which by default prints to the default gnome printer
[08:59] <xice> kholerabbi, tar -zxvf file.tar.gz
[08:59] <kholerabbi> thanks
[08:59] <blocky> a sound server sits between the apps generating the sounds and the hardware interface thats playing it, and intercepts everything
[08:59] <cwillu> pdf seems to be something else, but I still need to figure out how to address it from the command line
[08:59] <rock-lobster> kholerabbi, if u ever forget, man tar gives most common examples
[08:59] <blocky> which can slow it down quite a bit
[09:00] <kholerabbi> ok thanks
[09:00] <johanbr> cwillu: Not if you choose location as "File" or "Custom".
[09:00] <blocky> if you're not running kde you probably dont have arts running, which is good
[09:01] <johanbr> cwillu: Oh, you want to do this from, say, lpr? That's doable but a bit complicated.
[09:01] <cwillu> johanbr: exactly :)
[09:01] <cwillu> but yes
[09:02] <garryF> blocky I just had an idea. Folks could "Fish" for funny uboto responses privately and then when they find one they could tell someone it, and get laughs that way. I liked the women one.
[09:02] <cwillu> although this (http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/23/print-to-pdf-using-cups-pdf/) seems close
[09:03] <nnk> I'm trying to install ipw2100, and I think I have to recompile the kernel.  Would recompiling using a higher version of kernel break my system?  (I'm currently on 2.6.15-23; and I'm looking at 2.6.17...)
[09:03] <blocky> maybe they could say the really good ones in the channel so everyone can enjoy them
[09:03] <cwillu> nnk: it might, but as long as you don't remove the old kernel (i.e., you use the method that generates a deb that you install), you won't be hosed
[09:04] <blocky> i was hoping it would say "I know nothing about women"
[09:04] <cwillu> caught you off guard blocky :)
[09:04] <nnk> cwillu: I have no idea how to make a deb....
[09:04] <garryF> blocky its funny, I know that response was put there cause someoen was hoping someone would try it.
[09:04] <cwillu> nnk: there's a kernel building method for ubuntu that ends up with that as the end result
[09:04] <nnk> cwillu:  I was planning to go with the classic ./configure, make, make install and pray and that it worked.
[09:05] <nnk> cwillu: where can I find info on that?
[09:05] <iamelite> Im getting choppy sound in 3d games. I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2
[09:05] <johanbr> cwillu: There's too much traffic in this channel to be able to give me a good explanation for how to add a pseudoprinter. Send me a private message if you'd like a short description.
[09:05] <cwillu> nnk:  I believe on the ubuntu site;  ftr, I'm running a kernel.org build patched with ck11, no ubuntu patches, but the deb method still worked, and nothing much is hosed here (no boot/shutdown screens, but I can live with it)
[09:05] <garryF> I remember when I was compiling kernels, I would just have to recompile my video driver, but now that they are now as precompiled binaries, I dunno how that effects things.
[09:06] <garryF> !what I'm talking about! > garryf
[09:06] <ubotu> I know nothing about what I'm talking about!
[09:07] <cwillu> garryF  thinks he's clever :)
[09:07] <garryF> Ooops, I did not mean to do that publicly. Must have been the double ! points sorry.
[09:07] <nnk> cwillu: I will gladly trade good wireless for my boot/shutdown screens...I'll take a look, thanks.
[09:07] <garryF> cwillu hehe
[09:08] <cwillu> nnk: just so ya know, when I say boot/shutdown, it ends up displaying absolutely nothing at all until x starts :)
[09:08] <cwillu> i.e., no progress of any kind, no text, etc, just grub, 30 seconds of silence, and then X
[09:08] <nnk> hrm...ok, that is fine....as long as my computer never-ever breaks during bootup/shutdown....
[09:09] <nnk> Ah well, I'll take a look at Ubuntu's site.  I've never compiled a kernel anyways, so the more info the better.
[09:10] <garryF> I have the same issue. My computer won't turn off and its with all os'es but just reboots. People say its the motherboard, but if I fiddle with drivers, it willl sometimes start working for a few weeks. A dead motherboard componant just don't start working and then stop working. Something else is in the mix. What I do not know.
[09:12] <garryF> I think its something about apm but I can't find out what, I do note that my apm configuration choices do not appear in the gui.
[09:13] <rixth> Why should fucking Nautilus use 100% CPU?
[09:13] <johanbr> cwillu: For the blank screen, try adding vesafb and fbcon to /etc/mkinitramfs/modules before compiling.
[09:13] <rixth> It's really annoying.
[09:13] <blocky> is the ck kernel faster than ubuntu for desktop responsiveness?
[09:13] <sss> hey guys ,how can i open a chm file?
[09:13] <rixth> sss, gnochm or xchm'
[09:14] <cwillu> blocky: I like it myself
[09:14] <dxdemetriou> can I make the mounted partitions on /media to appeared on desktop like Breezy? In Places/Computer when mounted, are disappeared the volumes
[09:14] <cwillu> johanbr: ahh, thanks
[09:14] <garryF> rixth: I  have heard about that. Lots of folks having the same truble. I'm trying to remember what they found out.
[09:14] <blocky> i have nothing better to do tonight so i think im gonna compile a new kernel
[09:14] <sss> rixth ,what the gnochm and xchm r? softwares?
[09:14] <cwillu> blocky: I like it myself;  among other things, when synaptic is going hard, the rest of the system can still be made responsive\
[09:14] <rixth> garryF, it mostly occurs when I am looking at an FTP server
[09:15] <rixth> sss, huh?
[09:15] <rixth> Yeah, they're software.
[09:15] <cwillu> blocky: and if you've had an app be unresponsive for a few seconds to a few minutes after being away from the machine for a while, it'll take care of it too, in a better fashion then simply setting swappiness=0
[09:16] <sss> rixth,any other ways?
[09:16] <gteppel_> I'm getting the following error: libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.5-1ubuntu12) but 2.3.5-1ubuntu12.5.10.1 is to be installed When I try to install libc6-dev. I'm running Breezy and my kernel is  2.6.12-9-686-smp whats wrong?
[09:16] <Hit3k> !dualscreen
[09:16] <ubotu> I know nothing about dualscreen
[09:16] <Hit3k> aw..
[09:16] <cwillu> !xinerama
[09:16] <ubotu> xinerama is using multiple monitors as one big monitor. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XineramaHowTo
[09:16] <protocol1> i just installed flight gear on dapper...why doesnt it open?
[09:17] <Hit3k> ah
[09:17] <cwillu> Hit3k: just gotta know what to ask for :)
[09:17] <Hit3k> cwillu, :D thx
[09:17] <garryF> I remember something about them seeing it when ftp'ing. Hmmm, I wonder if it's routing through ssh which is an encrypted ftp.
[09:17] <johanbr> gteppel_: You're trying to upgrade libc6 only, but you should also upgrade libc6-dev.
[09:18] <cwillu> yay!
[09:18] <cwillu> http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/23/print-to-pdf-using-cups-pdf/#2233
[09:18] <RandomGuy> Hi, I need a vnc viewer for windows to connect to my ubuntu tightvnc server, any suggestions?
[09:18] <garryF> Grats!
[09:18] <rixth> RandomGuy, realvnc
[09:18] <cwillu> just gotta get that chmod command added to the deb script
[09:18] <gteppel_> johanbar: libc6 is already installed
[09:18] <RandomGuy> ty rixth
[09:19] <cwillu> RandomGuy: I like ultravnc myself
[09:19] <johanbr> gteppel_: Right, but if you upgrade one of libc6 and libc6-dev, you also need to upgrade the other.
[09:20] <gteppel_> i just did a apt-get update and apt-get upgrade but i still get this error
[09:20] <nnk> you know, the docs on kernels in ubuntuwiki aren't helpful at all.
[09:21] <johanbr> gteppel_: Try "apt-get install libc6 libc6-dev".
[09:21] <cwillu> nnk, give me a sec, I might have it bookedmarked
[09:21] <gteppel_> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[09:21] <gteppel_>   libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.5-1ubuntu12) but 2.3.5-1ubuntu12.5.10.1 is to be installed
[09:21] <gteppel_> is what happens when I ran that
[09:21] <nnk> cwillu: thanks.
[09:22] <cwillu> nnk:  I believe this is how I did it:  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=56835
[09:22] <johanbr> gteppel_: Hmm. Try removing libc6-dev, upgrading libc6 and then reinstalling libc6-dev.
[09:23] <gteppel_> its not installed
[09:23] <cipherd> why is there "circular dependency" in some packages???
[09:23] <L-----D> !tomcat
[09:23] <ubotu> I know nothing about tomcat
[09:23] <`underOATH> hi, are there any major differences between breezey and the new ubuntu ?
[09:23] <johanbr> gteppel_: What does "dpkg -l libc6-dev" print?
[09:24] <cwillu> `underOATH: in short, yes
[09:24] <gteppel_> is it okay to post in here?
[09:24] <cipherd> !java
[09:24] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the runtime Sun Java install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[09:24] <gteppel_> its 6 lines
[09:24] <`underOATH> cwillu: so it is worth the download ?
[09:24] <johanbr> gteppel_: The line that actually has libc6-dev in it should be all you need.
[09:25] <gteppel_> un  libc6-dev      <none>         (no description available)
[09:25] <rixth> perl -i -p -e"s/group=\`group\`=/g" *.php <<< how can I run that without begin dropped to a command line with just a >? I am escaping the backticks....
[09:25] <cwillu> `underOATH: in my opinion, yes
[09:25] <johanbr> gteppel_: That looks right. And apt-get still complains about libc6-dev? Weird.,. Try "apt-get -f install".
[09:26] <Chetwin> can anyone tell me how to install java?
[09:26] <rixth> !tell Chetwin about java
[09:27] <gteppel_> still doesn't work, isn't -f fix?
[09:27] <gteppel_> what about using force
[09:28] <johanbr> rixth: Is that a valid perl fragment ? Can you use "s/" without replacing it with something, i.e. without doing "s/blah/foo/" ?
[09:29] <ubuntu12345> hi
[09:29] <rixth> johanbr, that was it, I was missing the replacement but it was also dropping me to >
[09:29] <ubuntu12345> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda
[09:29] <ubuntu12345> dd: writing to `/dev/hda': No space left on device .......... does this mean the formatting is over?
[09:29] <johanbr> gteppel_: You can always try "dpkg --force all -P libc6-dev".
[09:29] <poseidon> !sound
[09:29] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[09:30] <ubuntu12345> anyone know?
[09:30] <Moodles> is there a test app for sound?
[09:30] <cwillu> ubuntu12345: I believe so
[09:31] <Moodles> oh I got sound now
[09:31] <Moodles> I changedit from trident to sis
[09:31] <cwillu> ubuntu12345: wiping it at least
[09:31] <johanbr> ubuntu12345: Yes. Using dd without being very sure of what you're doing can have severe consequences, though.
[09:31] <`underOATH> cwillu: i agree, the new ubuntu looks really nice. thank you for recommending it
[09:31] <ubuntu12345> johanbr, i was trying to wipe my HD
[09:31] <ubuntu12345> is it OK ?
[09:32] <ubuntu12345> i have to return it to the store
[09:32] <Dustdancer> hi, first of all, sorry for my bad english i got a question bout terratec aureon 7.1 universe and ubuntu. i got sometimes (with some programs like pykaraoke/teamspeak/cedega etc) the problem that the sound is too fast. i use the ice1724 for the soundcard
[09:32] <tonyyarusso> What can I use to open a .pub file (Publisher 2003)?
[09:32] <RedBlades> Hi all, I was just on Linmodems, and I found that I need to pay to getthe driver I need
[09:32] <RedBlades> Very annoyed
[09:32] <johanbr> ubuntu12345: Yes, that means it ran until the end of the disk.
[09:33] <ubuntu12345> should i do a zero also?
[09:33] <nnk> cwillu: this is great, thanks
[09:33] <timothyzander> tonyyarusso, i did alot of reading on this a week or so ago, and i could not come up with anything
[09:33] <johanbr> ubuntu12345: Only if you're extremely paranoid.
[09:33] <blocky> can I patch vanilla 2.6.17.1 with 2.6.17-ck1
[09:33] <ubuntu12345> johanbr, how long would zero take to complete?
[09:33] <ubuntu12345> i think urandom took more than 12 hours to finish
[09:34] <johanbr> ubuntu12345: No idea. Probably about the same time as urandom.
[09:34] <ubuntu12345> oh jeez
[09:34] <ubuntu12345> lol
[09:34] <tonyyarusso> timothyzander: As I suspected.  Plan B: How to explain to people that giving me a file that's only openable with a particular piece of software that I'm not going to buy is useless?
[09:35] <johanbr> tonyyarusso: My response to people who send me Word documents is to send Latex files in return.
[09:35] <RedBlades> How do I use an ecternal dialup modem with Linux?
[09:35] <tonyyarusso> timothyzander: Would I even be able to open this with anything free if I was on Windows?
[09:35] <driggers> does ubuntu support .package and/or .rpm?
[09:36] <timothyzander> tonyyarusso: my boss (at a computer storenonetheless) sent me my work schedule as a pub file, i emailed him back and he sent me it as an image
[09:36] <tonyyarusso> johanbr: Okay, that made me laugh.  Although, I _can_ open Word docs, which is why this is so annoying.
[09:36] <RedBlades> I'm confused, because windows uses it and says "no dial tone"
[09:37] <timothyzander> tonyyaruso: not that i found, i tried reading it with notepad, to try to get some sense of what it contained.   however i was thoroughly unsuccessful
[09:37] <tonyyarusso> timothyzander, johanbr: Is there another app they could use to put together this newsletter other than the usual office suites?  (Which I have no idea why they aren't using - will ask and harass.)
[09:37] <Warbo> Note to self: Run apt-get clean on a filesystem before compressing it :)
[09:38] <iamelite> Im getting Very choppy sound, almost like static in 3d games. it seems to stop and go, Clear one second, then just slowing and stuttering. Graphics however are flawless.
[09:38] <johanbr> tonyyarusso: I haven't followed your discussion very closely, but no matter what app they're using it ought to be able to export to pdf.
[09:38] <Warbo> driggers: RPMs are supported (convert them to .deb with alien). .package? Is that self-installing?
[09:39] <timothyzander> tonyyarusso: i havent looked into it, i just wanted to read the one file
[09:39] <tonyyarusso> johanbr: True, but entirely useless for this particular purpose.  (I have to make a web version of said newletter and wanted to save myself retyping all of the articles.)
[09:39] <driggers> .package does nothing useful on my computer (ubuntu) :D  i know nothing else about it
[09:40] <RedBlades> Do I just plug it in?
[09:40] <Warbo> driggers: try running "file filename.package" to see what it is
[09:40] <RedBlades> 'mreally confused...
[09:40] <argarg> !wma
[09:40] <ubotu> For lots of multimedia issues this page has the useful information you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  see also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - Please use free formats: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[09:40] <argarg> !wmv
[09:41] <johanbr> tonyyarusso: And it can't export to *anything* that's reasonably open? html, rtf, odf, ... ?
[09:41] <Warbo> RedBlades: External dial-up modems pretty much all work (no drivers or anything needed)
[09:41] <driggers> Warbo:  returns Bourne-Again shell script text executable
[09:41] <tonyyarusso> johanbr: I don't know.  I've never used Publisher or whatever ungodly thing they were using before.
[09:42] <yacek19> which package contains xorgconfig?
[09:42] <timothyzander> publisher can export to lots of formats
[09:42] <Warbo> driggers: As I thought, it is self installing. Run it in a shell with "sh filename.package" (since it wants to install something you may want to use "sudo sh filename.package")
[09:43] <driggers> ok...
[09:43] <timothyzander> tonyyarusso: thats what microsoft recomends to people who dont own it, call up the people who sent it to you, and ask them to send it in  another format....  funny that they dont have a way to read the existing file unless you buy the program....
[09:43] <Warbo> yacek19: You can reconfigure Xorg with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" (Ubuntu's X configuring program is built into the package xserver-xorg)
[09:44] <tonyyarusso> timothyzander: That's what I did - this is the third unreadable format they've sent me.
[09:44] <driggers> crazy.  its doing stuff :)  if theres anything that need improvement in linux it is installing stuff
[09:44] <Warbo> driggers: If there's anything which needs improving it's getting people to use Synaptic and stop downloading ".package" files
[09:44] <Slaryn> Hey I'm having a problem with my wireless card, can anybody help me out?
[09:45] <johanbr> Slaryn: What's the card and what's the problem?
[09:45] <driggers> heh.  Warbo armagetron is not in there :(
[09:45] <driggers> and it is a very good game
[09:45] <timothyzander> tonyyarusso:  i am sorry, but thats a bit too much.... how did they mannage to get three different  proprietary formats?!?
[09:45] <Warbo> driggers: Ermmmm.... Yes it is
[09:45] <driggers> oh?
[09:45] <Warbo> !tell driggers about universe
[09:45] <tonyyarusso> timothyzander: Black magic, I think.
[09:45] <timothyzander> tonyyarusso:  i think it can do html, or at the very least an image
[09:45] <timothyzander> and i know it can do postscript
[09:45] <tonyyarusso> timothyzander: I'll give that a shot, thanks.
[09:46] <Slaryn> johanbr - it's a D-Link AirPlus DWL-G650, connecting on a public network... I can connect to some things (some websites, IRC, etc.) but not others (google.com, AIM/MSN, etc.).  It just seems sort of sporadic, what it wants to connect to and what it doesn't.
[09:46] <Slaryn> Any idea what's up?
[09:46] <johanbr> Slaryn: Do you know which chipset/driver that uses?
[09:47] <Slaryn> johanbr: No idea.
[09:47] <Slaryn> johanbr do you mean like wlan0, eth0, etc?
[09:48] <Slaryn> It's on ath0 if that matters
[09:48] <driggers> Warbo:  i don't see it.  i open Synaptic Package Manager, look under games and its not there.
[09:49] <johanbr> Slaryn: That means it's an Atheros, which seems right. If the card doesn't work reliably, that usually means that the driver is buggy or (less likely) that you have a hardware problem. Neither of those is very easy to fix.
[09:49] <driggers> oh.  you have to hack the manager...
[09:49] <Warbo> driggers: Have you enabled Universe and Multiverse then reloaded the package list?
[09:49] <driggers> no.  i'm just reading how to do that now.
[09:49] <ompaul> Slaryn, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[09:49] <Slaryn> johanbr: Ah... it worked fine on my Windows machine, so I don't think it's the card
[09:50] <Slaryn> Latest 6.06
[09:50] <ompaul> Slaryn, okay, my idea falls flat on its face there
[09:50] <johanbr> Slaryn: I was just about to suggest upgrading. :)
[09:50] <ompaul> Slaryn, have you looked at ndiswrapper yet?
[09:50] <Slaryn> Haha ;)
[09:50] <Slaryn> No I haven't
[09:51] <ompaul> !ndiswrapper
[09:51] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:51] <stef_> any idea why "df -h" doesn't show the correct free space? (/dev/sdb1             294G  285G     0 100% /mnt/sdb1)
[09:51] <kabobuntu> stef_, try df -H
[09:51] <Slaryn> I was looking through some of the other wifi docs, nothing help
[09:51] <Slaryn> I'll check this wrapper one.
[09:52] <stef_> kabobuntu: the same, it says space 100% occupied
[09:52] <johanbr> Slaryn: I agree that ndiswrapper is probably your best option. Another would be to start compiling bleeding-edge kernels, but that can be kind of complicated and time consuming.
[09:53] <stef_> the weird thing is I can write more data directly on the hard drive, but if I try to do it using samba, it says "not enough free space". any clue why?
[09:53] <ompaul> Slaryn, is it build in or pluggable?
[09:53] <Slaryn> ompaul: it's a card, pluggable
[09:54] <driggers> beautiful  thanks Warbo
[09:54] <Slaryn> I got the driver information: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
[09:55] <ompaul> Slaryn, see if you can borrow another one
[09:55] <ompaul> Slaryn, just to test
[09:55] <Slaryn> I'm at work... :/
[09:55] <Slaryn> And it's 1am
[09:55] <ompaul> ahh that might be a bit of a pain
[09:56] <Slaryn> Heh
[09:56] <Slaryn> I may try a borrow later though.  For now I'm reading up on ndiswrapper
[09:57] <Slaryn> Hopefully the package will download, only some seem to work with my little problem.
[09:59] <Tom39Away> If my network wasn't hooked up during an install of dapper, and now it is, how do I go about setting up or configuring my ethernet/wireless connections?
[09:59] <Warbo> How do I change whether aptitude installs "recommended" or not?
[09:59] <criptic> Tom39Away,
[09:59] <criptic> try using a console
[09:59] <criptic> and typing sudo network-admin
[10:00] <GOwin> anyone familiar with OCR programs?
[10:00] <Tom39Away> criptic, right, that'll bring up the network settings dialogue, but the connections themselves aren't configured and don't appear there.
[10:00] <yacek19> why if I use sudo I have to enter user password not root password?
[10:00] <Warbo> I did a few OCR exams recently............
[10:01] <Guardian> hello
[10:01] <Slaryn> ompaul / johanbr : packages won't download, ironically XD
[10:01] <GOwin> In breezy, I think I once found an OCR app in Synaptic for volume scanning/ocr projects but now i can't find it
[10:01] <Slaryn> Could either of you try and DCC send me ndiswrapper-utils and ndisgtk?
[10:01] <GOwin> anyone got any idea?
[10:01] <criptic> Tom39Away, arnt u using DHCP
[10:01] <criptic> ?
[10:01] <criptic> or are u manually assigning IP's to each machine on the network?\
[10:02] <Warbo> yacek19: Because that is the point of sudo. It doesn't make you become root (unless you give it special options) it gives your regular account super user priviledges. Root grants you these permissions, so it must make sure that it is you who is using them
[10:02] <Tom39Away> criptic, sure, but I was not connected to the internet during my install of dapper.  It told me because of that, it couldn't configure the internet connectoins at that time and I'd be able to later on.
[10:02] <ompaul> Slaryn, lets not bother with that but point you to packages.ubuntu.com
[10:02] <Slaryn> Ah that may work
[10:03] <Slaryn> That's why this problem is so strange ompaul... I can connect to websites but not download packages?
[10:03] <criptic> ok Tom39Away
[10:03] <Slaryn> Or even SOME websites don't work, google.com always times out
[10:03] <Slaryn> It's odd.  :/
[10:03] <criptic> so are u connecting to a network that has an internet connection?
[10:03] <criptic> like u have a router that dials out?
[10:03] <ompaul> Slaryn, the last time I saw that kind of an issue if other computers can do it then I suggest you find a new card
[10:04] <criptic> sudo network-admin, select the eth card select DHCP and then yes activate yes or what ever the confirms are
[10:04] <Tom39Away> criptic, I'm connecting to an ethernet connection that is always connected, like a cable modem.
[10:04] <criptic> and then it should be wroking fine
[10:04] <criptic> yea
[10:04] <criptic> using DHCP should be fine
[10:04] <ompaul> Slaryn,  and now you get to choose one that is marked as working ;-)
[10:04] <Tom39Away> criptic, no ethernet connection appears in the dialogue in sudo network-admin
[10:04] <cwillu> hmm
[10:04] <criptic> there is no eth connection<?
[10:05] <Tom39Away> criptic, it does not appear in network-admin, no.
[10:05] <cwillu> any way to convert pcl or epson-text-formatting printer output to ps?
[10:05] <criptic> hmm im not sure then Tom39Away
[10:05] <criptic> i never had to add mine
[10:06] <Tom39Away> criptic, of course not.  Thanks anyway
[10:06] <yacek19> why if I use sudo and some X app I get: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server.  I know that solution is "xhost +" but I am looking for safer solution
[10:07] <ompaul> cwillu, you could redirect the output of the file to text and then to ps but you most likely want formatting so I could not herel there
[10:07] <ompaul> cwillu, help that is
[10:09] <timothyzander> has anyone here tried to install xmms2 using apt?
[10:09] <Slaryn> ompaul - ndiswrapper and ndisgtk installing, thanks :)
[10:09] <Slaryn> I'll see what those can do for me
[10:10] <Slaryn> What exactly do they do anyways?
[10:10] <cwillu> ompaul: ya;  I'm probably going to write a filter to convert to html or something;  pain I didn't want, but whatever :)
[10:11] <scheuri> hi all
[10:11] <Orgullomoore> hi
[10:13] <QMario>  Does anyone know of a program in Linux even that can convert .pnm files to .pdf files, or can scan directly to PDF?
[10:14] <ompaul> Slaryn, you can also use the url from your /etc/apt/sources.list and find packages that way
[10:14] <yacek19> why if I use sudo and some X app I get: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server.  I know that solution is "xhost +" but I am looking for safer solution
[10:15] <Timir> ANyone in here run a NWN server..?
[10:15] <glick> howody
[10:16] <oohal> yacek19, it's because the root user doesn't have access to your X display
[10:16] <yacek19> I know but how to grant him permissions?
[10:16] <oohal> with your Xauthority file
[10:17] <oohal> it's in your home dir
[10:17] <scheuri> yacek19: actually you dont...:)...if you want to start an application with CLI just do it without sudo
[10:18] <scheuri> yacek19: if you want to run that application with root-privilges (dont do this!) then...ehhrr...are you using kde or gnome?
[10:18] <yacek19> kde
[10:18] <avis> what is the name of the gnome network management applet for wifi ?  the one that can be apt'ed.
[10:18] <scheuri> yacek19: with the kde-menu you have an option saying "Run Command" or something
[10:19] <spikeb> avis: network-manager i believe.
[10:19] <m0gsi> Hey all i have a problem, Last night downloading i accidentally allowed the hard disk to fill , i rebooted and i couldnt log into gnome. I have cleared 500mb and now gnome loads but very very slowly any ideas?
[10:19] <scheuri> yacek19: should be third or fourth from bottom
[10:19] <yacek19> yup I know I use gentoo for 1 year but I would like sometimes to run X apps with su
[10:20] <scheuri> yacek19: sorry, then I cant help
[10:20] <yacek19> thanks
[10:20] <m0gsi> Any ideas?
[10:20] <oohal> yacek19, like i said copy your .Xauthority file to ~root/
[10:20] <oohal> should do the trick
[10:20] <scheuri> m0gsi: is it possible to post your output of "df -h"?
[10:20] <yacek19> but what it does? can you explain me?
[10:21] <oohal> X has a wacko authentication system
[10:21] <oohal> the .Xauthority file is a kind of magic cookie
[10:21] <rohan> hmm
[10:21] <rohan> for edubuntu shipit sends install cd, and not desktop cd ?
[10:22] <^dE^> how can i install xchat? i`ve got ubuntu 6.06?
[10:22] <yacek19> oohal will it work after restart?
[10:22] <scheuri> ^dE^: are you using synaptic? adept? CLI?
[10:22] <oohal> yacek19, dunno
[10:22] <tonyyarusso> ^dE^: Enable universe.  Install xchat.
[10:22] <yacek19> let me check
[10:23] <^dE^> tonyyarusso how to enable universe? i`m a bit lame in linux.. :)
[10:23] <Ng> !repos > ^dE^
[10:23] <^dE^> :)

[10:23] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[10:23] <Gurpartap> help please, how to get DSL working with realtek rtl 9138D netword card...
[10:24] <Yonda> Hey guys ive just installed a Radeon 9600XT. I previously had a 9200 and that worked fine without any configuration, but this one is proving more difficult...are there some drivers to install?
[10:24] <rohan> hmm.. no one has rec'd the edubuntu shipit cd ?
[10:24] <Gurpartap> I HAVE
[10:25] <Gurpartap> got today..
[10:25] <tonyyarusso> rohan: Not yet.  Hopefully soon.
[10:25] <rohan> tonyyarusso: :)
[10:25] <tonyyarusso> Gurpartap: You have?!  What country?
[10:25] <Gurpartap> India
[10:25] <Gurpartap> got edubuntu, kubuntu, ubuntu, max packages today
[10:25] <Gurpartap> just 2 hours back
[10:25] <tonyyarusso> Interesting.  I wouldn't have thought shipping would get to India faster than the US.
[10:25] <Gurpartap> :D
[10:26] <rohan> i have too
[10:26] <rohan> Gurpartap: i am from india too
[10:26] <rohan> so u got edubuntu
[10:26] <Gurpartap> I can get from name :)
[10:26] <rohan> are those live or install cd ?
[10:26] <rohan> Gurpartap: ;)
[10:26] <rohan> hum hindi hai
[10:26] <Gurpartap> to install any of those packages, you have to run the live cd, and then click INSTALL icon on desktop to install the CD
[10:26] <rohan> Gurpartap: dude
[10:27] <Gurpartap> :P
[10:27] <rohan> Gurpartap: is the cd live and bootable, like the ubuntu and kubuntu ones ?!
[10:27] <Gurpartap> yes
[10:27] <rohan> the _edubuntu_ cd ?
[10:27] <rohan> it runs for ya ?
[10:27] <m0gsi> Hey sorry all i had to go a second
[10:27] <Gurpartap> single CD is live+install CD
[10:27] <Gurpartap> yes
[10:27] <scheuri> m0gsi: is it possible to post your output of "df -h"?
[10:27] <jsgotangco> the edubuntu cd is not a live cd
[10:27] <rohan> Gurpartap: yes, but the cd THEY sent me is not live !
[10:27] <rohan> jsgotangco: exactly !
[10:27] <rohan> jsgotangco: its the "install" cd right, not the "desktop" cd..
[10:27] <jsgotangco> rohan: because its an LTSP install server by default
[10:28] <Gurpartap> oh
[10:28] <Gurpartap> sorry :P :(
[10:28] <rohan> oh ok, jsgotangco
[10:28] <heatxsink> hello all anyone in here every use netmanager with ubuntu dapper, and noticed that it conflicts with whatever is configuring the networking connection by default in dapper?
[10:28] <jsgotangco> rohan: it doesn't make sense to ship an edubuntu live CD because its basically an ubuntu workstation
[10:28] <rohan> so LTSP server can't be installed from the gui installer ?
[10:28] <rohan> jsgotangco: oh ok
[10:28] <P-NuT> Hi all, I have an atheros wifi card and am using dapper. How do I get it to come up with ath0?
[10:28] <m0gsi> /dev/hda2             6.5G  5.7G  491M  93% /
[10:28] <jsgotangco> rohan: but the edubuntu install cd has a workstation option so if you dont need LTSP you can choose that
[10:28] <rohan> !atheros
[10:28] <ubotu> I know nothing about atheros
[10:29] <m0gsi> That is my / partition
[10:29] <Gurpartap> rohan: any howto to get bsnl dsl working :P with realtek rtl 8139d network card?
[10:29] <scheuri> m0gsi: well, okay...do you have a seperate /home and /var?
[10:29] <m0gsi> No
[10:29] <rohan> Gurpartap: no need for any howto .. it just works ! but i am in mumbai and mtnl has no dialer like bsnl :)
[10:29] <rohan> Gurpartap: just use ppp* tools
[10:29] <m0gsi> just one big /
[10:29] <rohan> Gurpartap: pppoeconfig
[10:29] <scheuri> m0gsi: so, everything is in /
[10:29] <m0gsi> i've got windows partitions on /dos /dos2
[10:29] <Gurpartap> but that's for dialup? :\
[10:30] <m0gsi> Yes
[10:30] <scheuri> m0gsi: well, that is (I hope) not important
[10:30] <m0gsi> Really ? you think i like have hard drive errors or something?
[10:30] <scheuri> m0gsi: try to use CLI and say "sudo aptitude clean"
[10:30] <Gurpartap> i have not muchi dont have much idea yet about it, do i run pppoeconfig tool ? anything else..
[10:30] <Gurpartap> :\
[10:30] <scheuri> m0gsi: who are you talking to?
[10:30] <m0gsi> Ok i am using that command
[10:31] <m0gsi> Sorry Scheuri i am talking to you
[10:31] <scheuri> m0gsi: ah, okay...was a bit confused
[10:31] <m0gsi> Scheuri = i'm not used to irc
[10:31] <Gurpartap> (rohan)
[10:31] <scheuri> m0gsi: no worries...:)...we are here to learn
[10:31] <m0gsi> Scheuri: Ok i have ran that command appears to be ok!
[10:32] <scheuri> m0gsi: any changes to "df -h"?
[10:32] <m0gsi> Scheuri: massive change
[10:32] <m0gsi> /dev/hda2             6.5G  5.2G  985M  85% /
[10:32] <MistaED> hey can anyone tell me why, when you control+c at bootup in ubuntu (for say, a hard drive scan you have no time for), the system gives you root access? i'd say that's a pretty big security risk right there isn't it?
[10:32] <scheuri> m0gsi: okay...one last commad "du -sh /home"
[10:33] <m0gsi> 2.0G /home
[10:33] <scheuri> m0gsi: okay, fair enough....well then...I hope it will start faster now...
[10:33] <scheuri> m0gsi: with "aptitude --help" you will find out what the command just did...
[10:34] <linuxboy> what is the size of the ubuntu repo? I want to mirror it
[10:34] <OrgulloKmoore> guh, my Internet connection is not fixed after all :(
[10:34] <OrgulloKmoore> I keep on getting disconnected every once in a while
[10:34] <m0gsi> Schueri: Out of interest why would the hard disk being full stop gnome from loading?
[10:34] <scheuri> linuxboy: about 10 GByte...and I am quite sure, that universe is NOT included
[10:34] <linuxboy> scheuri: shot
[10:35] <scheuri> m0gsi: well...my guess was, that gnome was not able to write into your home anymore (there is some space reserved for root on your harddisk), but...well...
[10:35] <scheuri> m0gsi: cant say for sure...if it does NOT fix it, we have to find other solutions and causes
[10:36] <m0gsi> Scheuri : Well it worked fine before i filled the HDD , after my download is done i will restart and see.
[10:36] <scheuri> m0gsi: okay...just make sure you dont get too far over 90%
[10:37] <m0gsi> Scheuri : Well once my downloads finish i move them to another partition so it will drop by 700mb odd
[10:37] <scheuri> m0gsi: harddisk usage of course...the download is okay over 90%...;)
[10:37] <scheuri> m0gsi: okay
[10:37] <scheuri> linuxboy: maybe it is less than 10....maybe 8...but it is quite a lot
[10:37] <`underOATH> anyone know how to get the official aim for linux to work on ubuntu, i don't like gaim
[10:38] <ari> hi
[10:38] <m0gsi> Scheuri : :P lol Thanks for the help
[10:38] <ari> hi
[10:38] <scheuri> m0gsi: welcome
[10:38] <m0gsi> Hi ari
[10:38] <linuxboy> scheuri: thats still without universe ?
[10:38] <scheuri> linuxboy: I am not quite sure, but unverse is full of stuff, I cant imagine that fits into 10 GB...but I cant say for sure
[10:39] <scheuri> `underOATH: there is kopete, licq (icq only)....
[10:39] <scheuri> `underOATH: but what do you mean by "official aim for ubuntu"?
[10:39] <m0gsi> Does he mean under wine?
[10:40] <`underOATH> scheuri: i said for linux
[10:40] <`underOATH> scheuri: www.aim.com
[10:40] <BSoDirl> i dont think 'aim' has a linux client, then again I've never checked.
[10:40] <scheuri> `underOATH: sorry, tought you used aim as general word for instant messengers...my bad
[10:40] <MistaED> the aim linux client is terribly out of date afaik
[10:41] <DelPede> My laptop won't mount NFS drives at start up, but when i do mount -a after boot, they mount all right
[10:41] <`underOATH> i know
[10:41] <`underOATH> but i'm used to how it looks
[10:41] <mdke> I read lots of mailing lists with gmane... but my office firewall blocks the relevant port for news.gmane.org (119), does anyone know if I can get it over port 80 in my newsreader?
[10:41] <DelPede> everything was working fine untill i updated to dapper
[10:41] <`underOATH> i've been using aim my whole life
[10:41] <m0gsi> I never knew AIM had a linux version!
[10:41] <BSoDirl> oh so there is one? *blinks*
[10:41] <MistaED> `underOATH: i found gaim to look just like aim for the chat windows and namelist
[10:41] <m0gsi> Ya really
[10:41] <MistaED> except without all those messy ads
[10:42] <Ng> DelPede: I would  guess that's because mountall happens before networking in /etc/rcS.d/
[10:42] <`underOATH> i donno, i just don't like it, it's werid
[10:42] <m0gsi> Anyway i am going for big reboot now lol
[10:42] <Ng> DelPede: as a quick hack you could put a mount -a in /etc/rc.local
[10:42] <BSoDirl> gaim owns.
[10:42] <DelPede> Ng - sweet. that would prolly work
[10:42] <udo> does anyone have access runner usb modem in ubuntu dapper?
[10:42] <DelPede> for now
[10:42] <DelPede> thanks
[10:43] <Ng> DelPede: it might be worth checking launchpad.net for a bug about that and if not reporting it, because it should really do another mount after the networking is up, for things like nfs/smb/cifs/etc
[10:43] <scheuri> `underOATH: arent there any instructions on the homepage how to install aim Linux version?
[10:43] <DelPede> Ng: true. It's funny. After update, i had to install statd and autofs again
[10:43] <scheuri> `underOATH: I have a big ad saying there is aim 1.5 available for linux...
[10:44] <Storm1> Is there a simple manual for how to set up an ATI 9000 Pro with dual screen support?
[10:44] <scheuri> Storm1: have you searched wiki.ubuntu.com?
[10:44] <Storm1> I tried to
[10:44] <mdke> there isn't any documentation on wiki.ubuntu.com
[10:44] <arno> Hello, I have a problem with my Windows XP and Suse both virtuelle machines. They don't detect my sound device... xhat should I do? thanks
[10:44] <BSoDirl> you can use nAIM, if you like consoles :)
[10:44] <mdke> use help.ubuntu.com please
[10:45] <MistaED> i remember the aim for linux not working due to out of date dependencies or something
[10:45] <Storm1> but I can do that again if you'd like to have specific questions
[10:45] <udo> how can i detect my usb modem in my ubuntu?
[10:45] <snoops> since this dapper release is all about long term support, does that mean new ubuntu releases.. (after dapper - like big fundamental changes (warty - breezy - dapper)) won't happen as much?
[10:45] <scheuri> mdke: well, wiki is better for searching, isnt it?
[10:46] <BSoDirl> gAIM an nAIM are probably your best bet :[
[10:46] <scheuri> and kopete...
[10:46] <m0gsi> Hey scheuri
[10:46] <m0gsi> It works
[10:46] <scheuri> hey m0gsi
[10:46] <m0gsi> Faster than before!
[10:46] <scheuri> m0gsi: great...:)
[10:46] <m0gsi> Thanks loads!
[10:47] <scheuri> m0gsi: very welcome
[10:47] <mdke> scheuri: no, there _isn't_ any documentation there...
[10:47] <udo> how can i detect my usb modem in my ubuntu?
[10:47] <scheuri> mdke: oookay...so what is at wiki.ubuntu.com? howtos? explanations? experience reports?
[10:48] <scheuri> mdke: beg your pardon, but I dont want to sound like a whiteass...but...what is wiki then?
[10:48] <SaTaN`> where can i fande an apropriate decoder for mp3s?
[10:48] <scheuri> mdke: wiseass...arrgg....my english
[10:48] <mdke> scheuri: no documentation at all. It is used for development specifications, community development, etc
[10:49] <P-NuT> is wireless broken under dapper server? ath0 used to be there, but it's not coming up anymore. Is it not enabled in the kernel by default?
[10:49] <SaTaN`> where can i fande an apropriate decoder for mp3s?
[10:50] <scheuri> mdke: okay...hmm...thanks for clarifying...but it makes (to me) not much sense...the wiki includes too many how-tos for being just development
[10:50] <mdke> scheuri: it doesn't include any howtos
[10:50] <snoops> !restricted > SaTaN`
[10:50] <SaTaN`> thnx
[10:50] <mdke> so anyone know if I can use gmane in a newsreader over port 80?
[10:50] <snoops> you're welcome :)
[10:51] <scheuri> mdke: uhm...okay...how do you call all the texts which explain me to install or configure certain software? just written for development?
[10:52] <snoops> manual verses an sdk scheuri?
[10:53] <cymcy> hello #ubuntu
[10:53] <Thirsteh> why hallo dar
[10:53] <mdke> scheuri: those should all have been moved to help.ubuntu.com
[10:53] <scheuri> snoops: okay...its an sdk...:)...I wont advertise it here anymore...
[10:55] <cymcy> I have xchat2 under gnome (not xchat-gnome). I set it start with my session. the icon appears in systray and the xchat window also. how do I iconify automtaically the window (just the systray) ?

[10:59] <Madpilot> Toma-, give it a second, it should redirect to the new wiki
[10:59] <Madpilot> if not, there's something wrong with your browser, and it should have sent you on to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[11:00] <Toma-> ahhh thanks
[11:00] <Madpilot> !no, bluetooth is <reply>For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[11:00] <ubotu> I'll remember that
[11:01] <Madpilot> there, now the bot has the new URL too :)
[11:01] <Toma-> Ahhhhh fantastic. Should add a note to the wiki page about it then?
[11:01] <Toma-> thats better :D
[11:02] <Toma-> Madpilot: says i need a Pin... controlled by bluez or something?
[11:02] <Madpilot> Toma-, no idea - I've never owned a Bluetooth gadget
[11:02] <Toma-> oh :)
[11:04] <Toma-> Yay!

[11:21] <Yonda> Hi guys - I've got a dual screen setup here....but at the moment the screens are just a clone of each other. I would like the second screen to be a seperate monitor...How can I achieve this?
[11:22] <MatthewV> Yonda, you need to add the xinerama module to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:23] <Timir> Hey
[11:23] <Timir> Anyone happen to know how to do a say...Cheap quick effective little network setup between a Mac running Tiger and Linux?
[11:24] <Yonda> MatthewV, Thanks for that, ill see if that works ;D
[11:24] <MatthewV> k Yonda no probs
[11:26] <NATnatic> hey all, im trying to get TwinView up and running on my nVidia card... all the walkthroughs ive seen mention using Option "NvAGP" "2" in my xorg.conf, since my nVidia card is a PCI-Express card, do i need to specify a different module, or will this work fine?
[11:26] <Timir> They're already hooked up via router....
[11:29] <Squibby> hey fellas, sorry for such a n00bish question...
[11:29] <jotham> squibby is a hacker
[11:29] <Yonda> MatthewV, Sorry - I'm a tad confused (bit of a newbie here)...I found this in the wiki...https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo .... Can I just change my xorg.conf file to that, or do i have to install something via apt-get as well?
[11:29] <jotham> he took down lilo
[11:29] <jotham> him and weev
[11:29] <jotham> watch out
[11:29] <Squibby> but I've installed ubuntu under the parallels virtualization manager for os x...
[11:30] <MatthewV> Yonda, make sure libxinerama is installed, but it should be by default
[11:30] <Squibby> and it has selected only 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480 screen resolutions as options
[11:30] <Squibby> I want to edit a .conf to add 1280x800 to the selections.
[11:30] <Yonda> MatthewV, yep it is, so I just change my xorg.conf file?
[11:31] <MatthewV> Yonda, if you already have dual screens running, make sure you use the server options to make the screens in the right physical location, and then add the modules xinerama section
[11:31] <Squibby> I tried editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and changing all the entries I found at 800x600 to 1280x800, but that hasn't done the trick, even after a restart
[11:31] <Squibby> what's the best way to go about accomplishing this?
[11:31] <yaz> is this the ubuntu linux distro chat room?
[11:31] <jrib> yaz: yes, welcome
[11:32] <yaz> im like 100% new to ubuntu and to linux
[11:32] <jrib> yaz: but this is for support and general chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:32] <yaz> i figured i would use ubuntu cuz my friend told me it was user friendly
[11:32] <yaz> yeah so can any1 help me with it? like y cant i open .mp3's?
[11:32] <Squibby> jotham has pointed out to me that I suck at asking for help
[11:32] <cydrive> can anyone tell me where i can get a copy of windows xp for my vmware player or tell me how to make one off of a windows xp machine i have please
[11:32] <Squibby> so, let me put it another way
[11:32] <snoops> it's user friendly if you don't mind tinkering with a few things :)
[11:32] <jrib> !mp3
[11:32] <ubotu> For lots of multimedia issues this page has the useful information you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  see also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - Please use free formats: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[11:33] <Squibby> "how do I make 1280x800" a screen resolution choice under the GUI in ubuntu?"
[11:33] <jrib> yaz: visit the sites, ubotu just said, it should tell you what you need to do for mp3's
[11:33] <nnk> Could someone tell me what's wrong with this:
[11:33] <nnk> for i in ieee80211 ipw2100; do \
[11:33] <nnk> > find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -iname ${i}*; done
[11:34] <cwillu> Squibby: after you restarted x, did that resolution show up as a display mode in the preferences?
[11:34] <void^> Squibby: adding it to xorg.conf was correct, but you also need to use a driver and monitor settings that allow for it
[11:34] <cydrive> can someone help me create or show me where to download windows xp for vmware player?
[11:34] <Squibby> cwillu: no
[11:34] <Squibby> void^: ah, that makes sense
[11:34] <nnk> cydrive: I think you'll need to find a licensed cd
[11:34] <Twinxor> dumb wget question:
[11:34] <Squibby> void^: well, parallels claims to virtualize a VESA 3.0 adapter
[11:34] <Twinxor> how can I use wget to save all the files linked to by this page: http://www.mit.edu/afs/sipb/project/sipbsrc/rt/lndir/
[11:34] <cydrive> damn i have computers with legal copies of xp but none of them came with cds
[11:35] <void^> Squibby: i'm not really sure you can go above 1024 with vesa :/
[11:35] <Timir> <-< Anyone know how to set up like, network file sharing on a Mac?
[11:35] <Squibby> void^: blahzers
[11:35] <sexcopter8000m> just looking at my sources.list file, some of the uri's start http://au.archive.... does that mean i'm getting stuff from australia?! (I'm in germany). Are there german mirrors I can use instead?
[11:35] <Timir> er
[11:35] <jotham> Squibby: check undermac
[11:35] <Timir> On Linux, not on Mac >_<
[11:35] <jrib> sexcopter8000m: just replace au with de
[11:35] <Squibby> void^: heh, interestingly FC-5 installed an adapter with support for 1280x800, but it doesn't recognize the sound properly :/
[11:35] <sexcopter8000m> jrib, ok, thanks
[11:35] <snoops> cydrive I'm almost positive that legally, if you have the cd key, you are more than free to download a copy of the cd..you could also call ms and get them to send a cd to you, once you tell them your cd key
[11:36] <Timir> ^^; So anyone know how to set up file sharing on Linux?
[11:36] <Squibby> running linux distros under a VM seems to generate a unique problem for every distro. ;)
[11:36] <jrib> sexcopter8000m: you can use any official two letter country code afaik
[11:36] <Twinxor> any wget gurus?
[11:36] <Squibby> kriptik: ahhh thank you.
[11:37] <Twinxor> snoops, you're never in the clear to warez their software
[11:37] <cydrive> snoops thanks worse comes to worse ill get someone to make a copy of the disk for me
[11:37] <Twinxor> calling MS is the way to go
[11:37] <snoops> Twinxor, well, he legally has the cd key.. that's what he paid for.. the license to use and the cd key is the proof of that license
[11:37] <Twinxor> the license doesn't allow him to download copies of the software under any circumstances
[11:37] <jrib> Twinxor: use --recursive and --level=1 maybe
[11:38] <Twinxor> yeah, it's doing this weird thing where it just grabs www.mit.edu - I guess it's following the first link and not getting the binaries?
[11:38] <Twinxor> well, not binaries, but the non-HTML files it's not getting
[11:38] <snoops> is that in some eula Twinxor?
[11:38] <Toma-> ANyone using bluetooth with dapper?
[11:39] <Timir> Erk
[11:39] <Timir> Okay
[11:39] <Timir> SSH works
[11:39] <Timir> Here's a minor different question, SSHing, and using Get I think it is, is there a way to get an entire folder?
[11:39] <Twinxor> snoops, yeah
[11:39] <Squibby> void^: do you happen to know the name of the video device in xorg that would signify it is a laptop screen?
[11:40] <Squibby> void^: I would try to change the adapter type but I'm at a loss as to the list of devices Xorg accepts.
[11:40] <Twinxor> it's not unusual - no EULA would give you the option to procure the software for yourself
[11:40] <Twinxor> it's basically illegal to do that with any commercial software
[11:40] <Timir> Erk...Don't have Get either...
[11:41] <Timir> What's the command to download a file from in SSH? Is it Get and I don't have it? <-<
[11:41] <wildekek> question: is it possible to shut down a device attached via USB? (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204970)
[11:42] <jrib> Twinxor: wget ignores those files because of the robots.txt the site has... look into having wget ignoring that
[11:42] <ruxpin^> how can I get the list of installed packages, sorted by date?
[11:42] <Twinxor> oh, thanks jrib
[11:42] <Timir> x-x;; I'm starting to hate SSH
[11:43] <wildekek> ruxpin:  if you're using gnome, use filters in synaptic
[11:43] <snoops> Twinxor, quite a few applications allow you to get another copy if you loose your original.. Many commercial applications for xp allow just that.
[11:43] <ruxpin^> wildekek: no, from the command line
[11:44] <Twinxor> yeah, but they allow you to request another from the vendor
[11:44] <Twinxor> not download it from P2P or whatever
[11:45] <Twinxor> looks like it's 'wget -e robots=off'
[11:45] <yacek19> how to autoload modules at ubuntu 6.06 startup?
[11:45] <SVisor> Timir: SSH is not a FTP app. SSH stands for Secure SHell. Check out SFTP
[11:45] <orbin> anyone heard of the problem of garbled display when logging out (white lines, "static", shifting text)?  forum search didn't give much, and i did not have this problem w/ previous versions of ubuntu.  i have an ati xpress 200m.  tested w/ vesa, ati and fglrx
[11:45] <jrib> Twinxor: http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/faq.html#3.0 that did it for me
[11:45] <Timir> SVisor, =/ That's going to be significantly harder to set up I'm wagering
[11:45] <Twinxor> yeah, I found it jrib
[11:45] <Twinxor> thanks
[11:46] <Ng> Timir: you can use scp or sftp to get files over an ssh connection, both should be available on any box with openssh installed
[11:46] <jrib> Twinxor: oh, oops just saw that :)
[11:46] <yacek19> how to autoload modules at ubuntu 6.06 startup?
[11:46] <Ng> yacek19: put them in /etc/modules
[11:47] <sexcopter8000m> when i run the update manager, i can get the updates ok, and can read the descriptions for the packages, but never get any of the "changes", why could this be?
[11:47] <yacek19> nice
[11:47] <Ng> sexcopter8000m: there seem to have been some issues lately with the changelog server
[11:47] <Timir> I have gFTP on my flavor of linux
[11:47] <Timir> would that work?
[11:47] <Timir> it has a SSH2 option
[11:47] <Ng> Timir: I believe gftp can talk to sftp servers, yes
[11:47] <sexcopter8000m> Ng, ok, so it's probably not my end then?
[11:48] <Yonda> I've screwed up my xorg.conf file, and now x won't load...I made a backup copy of the xorg.conf file on the desktop....how can I replace the one on the desktop with the one in /etc/X11/ ?
[11:48] <SVisor> Timir: sftp is on the client side much like ssh, just use. If you get ssh running on server side sftp will work too.
[11:48] <Ng> sexcopter8000m: indeed
[11:48] <Ng> Yonda: sudo cp ~/Desktop/xorg.conf /etc/X11/
[11:48] <Ng> Yonda: (in a terminal)
[11:48] <Yonda> Ng, thanks
[11:48] <Timir> is FTPS the same as SFTP?
[11:48] <Ng> Timir: no
[11:48] <jotham> no
[11:49] <jotham> what the shit am i doing in here
[11:49] <Ng> Timir: that's FTP over SSL
[11:49] <GUARDiAN|nb> hi
[11:50] <Squibby> jotham, I'm doing a pretty good job of breaking the ubuntu display configuration, but nothing more. :/
[11:50] <Squibby> I found the text mode editor, but I don't see any options to try and tell it to use a laptop display
[11:50] <Squibby> latest thing I"m trying is vesa in 1280x800 mode
[11:50] <GUARDiAN|nb> i have a "problem" with my network-interfaces: i recently took the ipw2100 out of my notebook and replaced it with a ipw2200... now the wlan-interface has become eth2 instead of eth1
[11:50] <Squibby> ahah!
[11:50] <Squibby> that did it!
[11:50] <Squibby> woohoo
[11:50] <GUARDiAN|nb> is there any way to change this?
[11:51] <Squibby> jotham++
[11:51] <Yonda> Ng, I actually saved it in the same folder /etc/X11 - as xorg.conf_old ... How can I rename xorg.conf_old to xorg.conf and replace the current xorg.conf ?
[11:51] <GUARDiAN|nb> it's definitely not the "random interface"-problem, since it stays at eth2 and doesn't switch from 1 to 2 and vice verse
[11:52] <SVisor> Yonda: cp ~/Desktop/xorg.conf_old /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:52] <Squibby> only thing is, ubuntu freaks out when you try to change the resolution in the GUI running it under parallels. :/
[11:52] <Squibby> it logs out of GNOME and has you log back in
[11:52] <Squibby> and doesn't end up changing the resolution.
[11:52] <Ng> Yonda: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:52] <Squibby> but at least it starts up in 1280x800 now.
[11:53] <Ng> Yonda: note that mv will literally put the conf_old over the conf one, use cp if you still want to keep the conf_old one around as a backup
[11:53] <Timir> Wooo, KBear worked
[11:53] <Yonda> Ng, ok thanks again!
[11:54] <Timir> Whoooo, this'll take a while, 1.5-8MB/sec, 4.9GB to transfer
[11:54] <snoops> ouch.. 100mbit network eh?
[11:55] <Twinxor> hey, what's the command to look up where exactly something in your $PATH is on the system?
[11:55] <Twinxor> I know I've seen it..
[11:55] <GUARDiAN|nb> which
[11:55] <GUARDiAN|nb> ?
[11:55] <Timir> snoops, Dunno, the comp Sending it is on WiFi
[11:56] <Timir> which I may change in a moment
[11:56] <Twinxor> yeah, that sounds right
[11:56] <snoops> oh gosh.. so between 11 and 54mbit Timir
[11:56] <YondaII> Ng, Thanks .... back to square one :)
[11:56] <Timir> snoops, Probably, unless Airport Extreme is any different
[11:57] <Timir> 1.8MB/s isn't bad
[11:57] <Timir> I don't need it say, Now now, or I'd be knit-picking out the files
[11:57] <YondaII> There isnt any type of graphical configuring program for dual screens is there :|
[11:58] <Timir> Hosting NWN, and I think I don't have the files
[11:58] <Timir> I just need them before, say, 2, 3 PM
[11:58] <snoops> Timir my internet connection isn't even twice as slow :/..I reckon that's pretty shocking speeds to be honest
[11:59] <wildekek> YondaII: : depends on your video card, for my nvidia there is
[11:59] <YondaII> wildekek, not for a Radeon 9600XT im guessing...?
[11:59] <Timir> snoops, I'm on cable, using ethernet from the router I've seen spurs of 1,000kb/s down, and a constant of 800kb/s
[12:00] <wildekek> YondaII: : let me search the packages for you
[12:00] <YondaII> wildekek, thanks
[12:00] <Timir> snoops, So if I actually probably am not running anything at all, and the server has a big enough pipe, I can probably get 1MB/s off my internet
[12:01] <snoops> yep.. same here Timir..
[12:01] <Timir> My upload speed is 50kb/s though, which rather pisses me off
[12:03] <wildekek> YondaII: : package fglrx-control "The control panel shows detailed information on your display adapter and allows you to set dual screen options, adjust gamma correction and set TV out options."
[12:03] <crashzor> i got 1 more question is there a file artsd ( clients ) write to or a other way of running artsd under my normal system and the client under dchroot -d
[12:03] <YondaII> wildekek, thanks a bunch
[12:06] <Thug-N-Me> need help
[12:06] <Thug-N-Me> how will i split one movies which is already split in 2 part both 2.2 gb i would like to make it xvid or divx
[12:06] <YondaII> wildekek, restarting x after using the config program (seemed promising)...so hopefully ill be back to report success in a minute
[12:07] <nnk> Alright, I'm trying to replace ipw2100, and there's a script I need to run, but the script can't find autoconf.h....anyone know where I can get that?
[12:07] <yamain> hello
[12:08] <snoops> Thug-N-Me are these vobs or what format?
[12:08] <Squibby> thanks for your help guys.
[12:08] <yamain> UHHhhhhh
[12:08] <yamain> who
[12:09] <yamain> spanish
[12:09] <ubuntu> tty
[12:09] <yamain> please
[12:09] <jrib> !es
[12:09] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[12:09] <Thug-N-Me> snoops vobs yeah
[12:11] <k31th> Anyon of you gues use ispconfig
[12:12] <snoops> you might need to do it in two parts Thug-N-Me.. join them, then use an encoder.. such as MEncoder or transcode
[12:12] <davro> im running dapper on sony vaio pcgz1rmp, every now and then everything locks up only while running in X can't even, ctrl + alt + backspace, have to give it a hard reboot, problem is i cannot tell weather its software | hardware ? any ideas
[12:12] <mp3guy> I've got alot of my files on a fat32 partition, but I can't change any of their permissions, whether I'm root or not, what can I do?
[12:12] <davro> X logs show nothing.
[12:12] <Thug-N-Me> snoops this is the file movie1.DTS.iNT.NTSC.DVDR
[12:12] <jrib> mp3guy: fat32 doesn't use unix-style permissions
[12:13] <mp3guy> jrib, can I convert the partition to ext2/3 without destroying all the data?
[12:13] <VoX> no
[12:13] <mp3guy> crap
[12:13] <snoops> might want to look at ffmpeg actually Thug-N-Me
[12:13] <VoX> you would have to copy all the data elsewhere and format the drive
[12:14] <mp3guy> can you merge ext2 partitions?
[12:14] <VoX> mp3guy: in what sense
[12:14] <mp3guy> if I have two ext2 partitions, can I merge them together into one?
[12:14] <VoX> mp3guy: er no
[12:15] <mp3guy> even with gparted? Because I was able to take data off one without destroying it VoX
[12:15] <snoops> Thug-N-Me http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=611871#post611871 <- looks helpful.. for MEncoder
[12:15] <snoops> you concatenate the files in a pipe to mencoder..
[12:16] <Thug-N-Me> snoops  thanks a lot
[12:16] <YondaII> wildekek, It works :)
[12:16] <VoX> mp3guy: if you want to try it, do it at your own risk. as it involves modifying the partition table, it wont take much for it all to go to hell in a handbasket.
[12:17] <crashzor> i got 1 more question is there a file artsd ( clients ) write to or a other way of running artsd under my normal system and the client under dchroot -d ?
[12:17] <jimcooncat> hi, adding a ~/bin directory doesn't include it in my $PATH? It looks like it would according to .bash_profile.
[12:17] <wildekek> YondaII: : good! no prob etc :-)
[12:17] <mp3guy> Vox, heres my plan, the fat32 partition is 60gb, and I have about 29gb of data, so I'm planning to chop 30gb off the end of the drive, then move all the data to a new 30gb ext2 partition, format the rest ext2, and then put it all back together
[12:18] <jrib> jimcooncat: ~/.bash_profile probably does not get sourced when you log into gnome.  It only gets sourced for login shells.  You can use ~/.gnomerc
[12:18] <VoX> mp3guy: ugh.. thats nasty. good luck
[12:18] <jimcooncat> thanks, jrib !
[12:19] <jimcooncat> oops, I'm using xfce, would that still be the same?
[12:19] <jimcooncat> maybe a follow-up script for gdm?
[12:19] <ubuntu> seen traveller
[12:20] <jrib> jimcooncat: probably not, I don't know what file to use then would be
[12:21] <jimcooncat> I'll poke around gdm, thanks
[12:21] <jrib> jimcooncat: you could try ~/.xfcerc but you just need it to get sourced somewhere.  You could put it in ~/.bashrc, then it will get added to your path everytime you start a shell
[12:22] <jimcooncat> can you please explain "sourced"?
[12:22] <snoops> mp3guy, any reason why you're not using ext3?
[12:22] <jrib> jimcooncat: just means something reads it and does what it says
[12:22] <mp3guy> I originally used the drive with winxp, and when I switched to ubuntu all my data was on it and I couldn't change it to ext3
[12:23] <jimcooncat> jrib, I think I understand, to make sure it gets executed.
[12:23] <jrib> jimcooncat: exactly
[12:23] <snoops> okay, it's just you said a new 30gb ext2 partition..
[12:24] <jimcooncat> yep, the rc files for xfce are .ini type, not bash script entries
[12:25] <muksie> I have 64bit Dapper, and for compiling wine I need to have the libicu packages. I have install libicu34 and libicu34-dev from apt, but then I get an compilation error, so I think I have to install the 32bit libicu packages. But I cannot find them in the apt repositories. Now I have downloaded 32bit libicu packages for amd64 from an Suse site (RPM's) and with alien converted them to .deb Is is save to install this packages or could it be
[12:25] <muksie> a problem to install Suse packages on Ubuntu?
[12:25] <Polkadot> I have a question, which i bet very few of you will be able to answer.

[12:26] <MetaMorfoziS> hi all
[12:26] <Polkadot> I do it in Windows. All my midi's play through my midi keyboard.
[12:26] <MetaMorfoziS> i have nos sound in totem
[12:26] <Polkadot> I just don't know how to do it in Linux
[12:27] <crashzor> is there same wone here how is running chroot + artsd whitout having to run artsdsp inside of chroot ?
[12:27] <Polkadot> So, does anyone know?
[12:27] <MetaMorfoziS> please help me, it writes at the first /usr/bin/esd is not found , i do a whereis esd, and sudo ln -s /usr/include/esd.h /usr/bin/esd
[12:27] <MetaMorfoziS> agter it not write esd not found, but still no sound
[12:27] <MetaMorfoziS> please help me
[12:29] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: do you have the 'esound' package installed?
[12:29] <MetaMorfoziS> no...
[12:29] <MetaMorfoziS> i'm isntalling
[12:29] <MetaMorfoziS> i find about "esd" but not esound... baaah:(
[12:29] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: you may want to delete that symlink you made
[12:30] <jrib> (before installing)
[12:30] <MetaMorfoziS> yes i do that
[12:30] <MetaMorfoziS> hm it not works
[12:30] <MetaMorfoziS> :(
[12:30] <crazy_penguin> hi all!
[12:31] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: can you elaborate and what is not working? are you getting errors on the install?
[12:31] <jrib> s/and/on
[12:31] <MetaMorfoziS> is there any way to set the audio settigns in totem?
[12:31] <MetaMorfoziS> no
[12:31] <MetaMorfoziS> esound installed
[12:31] <MetaMorfoziS> totem-xine isntalled
[12:31] <MetaMorfoziS> totem starts without errors
[12:31] <MetaMorfoziS> and palys video with no sound
[12:31] <jrib> !enter
[12:31] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[12:31] <MetaMorfoziS> sry
[12:31] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: ok, press alt+f2 and run 'esd &'
[12:32] <flodine> can someone tell me does dapper see 160 gb drive?
[12:32] <MetaMorfoziS> aaah
[12:32] <MetaMorfoziS> it plays a crazy soudn
[12:32] <MetaMorfoziS> my sound system's volume at 500%:D
[12:32] <MetaMorfoziS> aargh
[12:32] <snoops> yes, no problem flodine
[12:32] <MetaMorfoziS> but its not work
[12:33] <flodine> snoops i got 2 and it see only 143gb
[12:34] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: can you run this command: totem /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav
[12:34] <MetaMorfoziS> yes
[12:34] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: and do you hear sound?
[12:34] <MetaMorfoziS> totem starts, but no sound...:(
[12:35] <snoops> umm let's see.. 160,000,000,000bytes / 1024/1024/1024 = 149.01GB
[12:35] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: did you ever have sound?
[12:35] <MetaMorfoziS> yes
[12:35] <snoops> sure the other 6GB isn't used space flodine?
[12:35] <MetaMorfoziS> all other player works, but my fav is totem...
[12:35] <MetaMorfoziS> mplayer not have playist... all other are not simpatic for me
[12:36] <snoops> mplayer has a playlist
[12:36] <MetaMorfoziS> how?
[12:36] <snoops> right click
[12:36] <MetaMorfoziS> oh thats yes... but it not easy to use... i like in totem it's opened by default on the right side
[12:36] <flodine> snoops what do you mean
[12:36] <MetaMorfoziS> and i can drag and drop and it's useful....
[12:37] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: try rebooting, maybe something else is using the card, but now that esd starts up when you login it may work
[12:37] <snoops> there's probably a skin for mplayer
[12:37] <MetaMorfoziS> jrib: okay, thankyou i'm back soon
[12:37] <Polkadot> Can anyone please help me? I need to know how to set my keyboard as the default midi playback device? I have a Roland ERS- 3s.
[12:38] <albacker> what's the application editor in ubuntu called [the graphic one not apt-get]  !?
[12:38] <Nameeater> synaptic
[12:39] <Polkadot> Everyone is ignoring me. :'(
[12:39] <snoops> flodine, well.. 160GB to a hdd manufacturer is 160billion bytes.. but computers use base 2.. so you need to divide 160billion bytes by 1024 then by 1024 again then by 1024 again.. to get your GiB total (which just so happens to be 149).. it really should display as GiB, but it doesn't for reasons I don't understand. So they display it as GB.
[12:39] <albacker> Nameeater, thnx
[12:40] <tonyyarusso> snoops: What's wrong with GB?
[12:40] <cydrive> i have an idea for vmware if anyone thins this will work before i waste my time what if download windows vista beta and then load the iso into a virtual drive would i be able to use it with vmware?
[12:40] <MetaMorfoziS> jrib: :( it's still no sound:(
[12:41] <snoops> Giga is 1billion..(10^9) Gibi is 2^30
[12:41] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: but mplayer has sound still?
[12:41] <albacker> guys have a look at this : http://rafb.net/paste/results/gAq7e644.html    can you help me ?
[12:41] <MetaMorfoziS> yep
[12:42] <ajax4> cydrive: I don't know if vmware supports images of vista. But it supports NT I'd say it should work.
[12:42] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: and you are testing with the startup.wav file?
[12:42] <MetaMorfoziS> yes
[12:42] <ajax4> albacker: Why not install vmware player from the repositories?
[12:42] <MetaMorfoziS> :(
[12:43] <albacker> ajax4, because its an old version.
[12:43] <snoops> 1GiB = 1,073,741,824bytes, where as 1GB = 1,000,000,000bytes tonyyarusso
[12:43] <tonyyarusso> snoops: Oh really?  Huh.  'k.
[12:43] <patrick_king> has anyone tried to install Compiz on dapper
[12:43] <ajax4> albacker: Okay, then do this: sudo ./vmware-install.pl
[12:43] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: can you tell me the output of this command: apt-cache policy esound | grep -i Installed && md5sum /usr/bin/esd
[12:43] <albacker> ajax4, i did it ! have a look at the URL i pasted.
[12:44] <ajax4> patrick_king: I've used it with XGL. Its pretty neat though a little buggy on my machine.
[12:44] <MetaMorfoziS> it needs sudo?
[12:44] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: no
[12:44] <patrick_king> ajax4: was it easy to install
[12:44] <MetaMorfoziS> ok, it's  output is empty
[12:44] <snoops> yeah, but computers divide by 1024 to get the GB total, when they should use the GiB if they divide by 1024.. anyway.. it's fairly new standard.. only been in use the last 5 years or so, at least that's when I learnt about it tonyyarusso
[12:44] <rioch> What cd iso do I download to install ubuntu? I want it on my system permanantly, which is what the server version does, but the desktop version has an "option" to do this as well.
[12:45] <ajax4> albacker, you did it wrong. Its looking for the file in /usr/bin not the current dir. Try it exactly as I suggested and I bet you will have more luck.
[12:45] <MetaMorfoziS> ! my system is hungarian
[12:45] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: oh, what does 'apt-cache policy esound' say is the version?
[12:45] <albacker> ajax4, nope. same error !
[12:45] <MetaMorfoziS> not installed -> Teleptve
[12:45] <patrick_king> !Compiz
[12:45] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[12:45] <ajax4> patrick_king: Not too bad. But its still pretty unstable for me.
[12:45] <MetaMorfoziS> so i have installed: 0.2.36-3ubuntu3
[12:45] <albacker> ajax4, if you see well, it looks for the uninstaller in /usr/bin not for that fle. .  !
[12:46] <snoops> rioch, all versions desktop, server and alternate allow for permanent installation.. desktop has a live cd with a graphical installer, alternate is the desktop version without the graphical installer and live cd. Server is without a gui, and uses a text based installer
[12:46] <ajax4> albacker: Pastebin your output again so I can look at it.
[12:46] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: how about: md5sum /usr/bin/esd
[12:46] <rioch> snoops: great, i think desktop will be better for me.
[12:46] <ajax4> rioch: Get the desktop version and just double click the install icon on the desktop.
[12:46] <MetaMorfoziS> e99f4c9755ca2197b4dd0840298f455a  /usr/bin/esd
[12:47] <rioch> ok, thanks.
[12:47] <albacker> ajax4, http://rafb.net/paste/results/yRbH0R63.html
[12:47] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: and 'ps -e | grep esd' shows esd is running?
[12:48] <dj_smilee> has anyone downloaded the 6.06-server image from the uk mirror service?
[12:48] <MetaMorfoziS> it's output is empty
[12:49] <ajax4> albacker: is there a vmware folder in /etc ?
[12:49] <albacker> ajax4, yes.
[12:49] <ajax4> albacker: do this: sudo mv /etc/vmware /etc/vmware-old
[12:50] <ajax4> albacker: then try the install process
[12:51] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: hrmm, ok in a terminal, run 'esd &'.  Is there any output?  Does totem work afterwards?
[12:51] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: the strange thing is, totem used to work for me without esd, when I just used alsa
[12:51] <MetaMorfoziS> after esd & ps said it's running
[12:52] <albacker> ajax4, thanks it worked !
[12:52] <Hexidigital> mc__:: good luck :)
[12:52] <albacker> ajax4, can i remove the vmware-old in etc now ? if there's not problem ?@
[12:52] <mc__> Hexidigital, thanks
[12:53] <ajax4> albacker: Yeah, I'm sure you can just remove the old one.
[12:53] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: totem still has no sound though?
[12:53] <MetaMorfoziS> no...
[12:54] <higen> hmm.. any developementplans of implementing initNG in next release of ubuntu?
[12:55] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: the startup sound is really low, are you sure the volume isn't down?
[12:56] <MetaMorfoziS> yees
[12:57] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: ok, sorry I don't know then.  If you heard that weird beep when you ran esd it makes me think esd is working but i am not sure why totem doesn't give you any sound
[12:58] <ajax4> Anyone know what /proc/pci is supposed to be for?
[12:58] <SaTaN`> :)
[12:58] <SaTaN`> am.. what is the command, ti insall compilers?
[12:58] <SaTaN`> to*
[12:58] <jrib> !b-e
[12:58] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for a pre-built package first!)
[12:59] <jrib> SaTaN`: sudo aptitude install build-essential
[12:59] <grahamperrin> Please, what are the PowerPC system requirements for 6.06? Will it work on early G3 iMacs?
[12:59] <SaTaN`> thnx :)
[12:59] <christotoday> guys, I'm not a C expert, but trying to compile a program I get a  lot of errors including "stdio.h: No such file or directory" - same for stdlib.h, string.h, unistd.h.  Anyone have any idea where these headers should be? I thought they were 'just there' on any *nix system and that compiling a bit of C would 'just work'
[12:59] <SaTaN`> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[12:59] <SaTaN`>    <- mhm..
[12:59] <Ng> ajax4: do you mean /proc/bus/pci?
[01:00] <jrib> SaTaN`: do you have synaptic open?
[01:00] <MetaMorfoziS> and in .gnome2/totem_config?
[01:00] <SaTaN`> oh.. f*** yes... sorry :)
[01:00] <MetaMorfoziS> no way to enable or disable something?
[01:00] <ajax4> Ng: Well, a program I'm trying to run said it couldn't find /proc/pci...I don't really know what it does but the program stopped.
[01:00] <CrashProne> How much effort would one have to go through to watch encrypted (or whatever they are) movie files on Linux?
[01:01] <CrashProne> ie. the .wmv's that are all "Heck no I won't run."
[01:01] <Ng> ajax4: what's the program? because afaik there is no such /proc/ file
[01:02] <ajax4> Ng: Daphne, its an emulator that's not in the repositories.
[01:02] <BSoDirl> should synaptic "forget" my universe/multiverse reps after I changed my kernel-mages to k7?
[01:02] <BSoDirl> is that normal?
[01:02] <erUSUL> BSoDirl: no
[01:02] <kbrooks> ajax4: exact name?
[01:03] <BSoDirl> :|
[01:03] <jrib> MetaMorfoziS: I don't know, you could see if gxine works for you as a temporary alternative.  it has a playlist like you said you wanted
[01:03] <Ng> ajax4: I'd say that sounds like a problem with that progrma then
[01:03] <ajax4> kbrooks: daphne (from daphne-emu.com)
[01:03] <snoops> don't see why it should change your etc/apt/sources.list BSoDirl.. sure something else didn't replace it?
[01:03] <erUSUL> BSoDirl: just enable them again with synaptic or editing /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:03] <ajax4> Ng: Yeah, its a binary file...I compiled it and got the same error. Trying to figure out the problem.
[01:04] <BSoDirl> I installed linux-headers(kernel ver)-k7, linux-image(kernel)k7, and the linux-restricted modules-k7, rebooted into the k7 image and synaptic is broke as hell + i had to recompile my modem driver.
[01:04] <erUSUL> top
[01:04] <BSoDirl> yeah ok, I'm downloading the 3m or so on dialup as we speak.
[01:04] <BSoDirl> ubuntu isnt very dialup-friendly is it? :S
[01:05] <MetaMorfoziS> hm only mplayer have sound
[01:05] <erUSUL> BSoDirl: not much :( still rememmber my "dial-up days".
[01:05] <MetaMorfoziS> gxine kaffeineand other no...
[01:05] <MetaMorfoziS> hm
[01:05] <kbrooks> BSoDirl: the security updates aren't ;)
[01:05] <MetaMorfoziS> :(
[01:05] <snoops> the internet isn't very dialup-friendly these days ;)
[01:06] <MetaMorfoziS> mplayer uses alsa
[01:06] <Aap> hi guys: i have 4 boxes + woofer, but i can't make it work under Ubuntu
[01:06] <Aap> any help someone?
[01:06] <erUSUL> !sound
[01:06] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[01:07] <BSoDirl> i have made it a point not to add the security updates reps..
[01:07] <BSoDirl> when I get a steady gig, I'm GETTIN' satellite :P
[01:07] <Aap> Failed to construct test pipeline for 'ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture'+
[01:07] <ajax4> BSoDirl: Why no security updates?
[01:08] <GUARDiAN|nb> hm... i found out, that seemingly the e100-module tries to probe on eth1 which lets my ipw2200 take eth2... how can i restrict the e100 to eth0 only?
[01:08] <BSoDirl> I like to live dangerously ^_^
[01:08] <ajax4> Hehe
[01:08] <BSoDirl> plus, the bandwidth issue doesn't help.
[01:08] <gostview> hi all
[01:08] <ajax4> gostview: hey
[01:08] <BSoDirl> hoary apparently had an issue with my old imac modem
[01:08] <BSoDirl> so when i connected to d/l the repos list
[01:08] <gostview> hi ajax4
[01:09] <BSoDirl> I was connecting at like 14.4
[01:09] <Loth77> hello everybody...
[01:09] <BSoDirl> least now I'm at 28.8 on my P3 machine w/ winmodem :)
[01:09] <BSoDirl> speaking of which, Intel536ep winmodem is very solid with breezy
[01:09] <gostview> I've just compiled Gnash, but nothing happen when browsing a flash site.
[01:09] <Frogzoo> oh noes - are all the repos down?
[01:09] <SaTaN`> BSoDirl:  i had the same problem 2 :)
[01:10] <SaTaN`> running dila-up on 14.4 Kb/s
[01:10] <BSoDirl> on an imac?
[01:10] <ajax4> Frogzoo: I just did an update a couple of minutes ago and it worked fine for me.
[01:10] <BSoDirl> god man... it was terrible.
[01:10] <snoops> gostview don't you need the firefox plugin as well?
[01:10] <Loth77> i have installed KDE on my Ubuntu,  all works well but i have no system sounds on kde... can anybody help me? :)
[01:10] <BSoDirl> took like an hour to download dopewars
[01:10] <snoops> and obviously have to restart firefox after installing that plugin
[01:10] <Frogzoo> ajax4: can't reach au.archive.ubuntu.com or archive.ubuntu.com  o.O
[01:10] <Yogiz> what happen to all xxx password sites on IRC?>
[01:10] <SaTaN`> yes :)
[01:11] <Frogzoo> ajax4: ah, my bad (work's proxy setting)
[01:11] <Loth77> satan.... yes was for me? :D
[01:11] <ajax4> Frogzoo: That'll do it :)
[01:11] <SaTaN`> no.. for BSoDirl :)
[01:11] <gostview> snoops> well I don't know, maybe yes... I'm going to watch... however there a soft link in .firefox/plugin called libgnashplugin.so
[01:11] <Loth77> ohu..!
[01:12] <BSoDirl> funny thing is, after cursing my machine for hours, I checked the how-to and it told me to get 'gcc-3.4-base' 'cpp' and 'gcc-3.4
[01:12] <snoops> gostview gnash doesn't work for me on 64bit heh.. at least not with any flash sites I go to
[01:12] <BSoDirl> then I was fine :S
[01:12] <whitehorseNtiger> 700+ people....wow
[01:12] <BSoDirl> Tried to compile that on puppy, and it was going nowhere lol.
[01:12] <frfx> jippiiiii
[01:12] <BSoDirl> ubuntu's blowin' up, sukka!
[01:12] <gostview> snoops> I've got a 64bit too, and I just hope it works... you break my hopes :)
[01:13] <BSoDirl> *claps*
[01:13] <BSoDirl> how is 64-bit anyway?
[01:13] <snoops> annoying BSoDirl.
[01:13] <BSoDirl> bad hw support in the *nix world?
[01:14] <BSoDirl> erm, cpu?
[01:14] <snoops> brilliant hardware support
[01:14] <Frogzoo> BSoDirl: 64 bits only worth the trouble for server
[01:14] <Loth77> i try to ask again.... i have installed KDE on my Ubuntu,  all works well but i have no system sounds on kde... can anybody help me? :)
[01:14] <ivalladt> can my mobo exact model name be read from somewhere under /proc?
[01:14] <snoops> "what do you mean win32 codecs don't work on 64bit?" "What do you mean wine doesn't work on 64bit?" "What do you mean there's no macromedia flash for 64bit?".. the list goes on
[01:14] <BSoDirl> aha.
[01:14] <BSoDirl> ugh.
[01:15] <BSoDirl> no wine? I'll pass for now.
[01:15] <Frogzoo> snoops: wine won't be 64 bit for forever
[01:15] <BSoDirl> I'd have to say that puppy linux + ubuntu are really good platforms for wine.
[01:15] <BSoDirl> much better than suse :P
[01:15] <snoops> Frogzoo, doesn't make me anymore happy about that either
[01:16] <Frogzoo> snoops: just be a man and face it - denial won't help :D
[01:16] <BSoDirl> is there a cedega for 64bit?
[01:16] <BSoDirl> I hear it's pretty good.
[01:16] <snoops> I'm not paying for a subscription of cedega...
[01:17] <Ng> BSoDirl: no, but the 32bit cedega should work on an amd64 machine
[01:17] <userundefine> You can build from cvs for free as far as I know
[01:17] <BSoDirl> get it via cvs
[01:17] <BSoDirl> if you have the bandwidth
[01:17] <Frogzoo> BSoDirl: is this for real? I find that hard to believe, seeing as cedega is/was a wine fork
[01:17] <BSoDirl> I believe the cvs of cedega is free
[01:17] <Ng> the cvs version isn't identical, but yeah
[01:17] <BSoDirl> hmm
[01:17] <BSoDirl> winex yeah..
[01:17] <Ng> it lacks support for copy protection at least
[01:17] <gostview> snoops> I guess it works 'cos I've compiled it perfectly!
[01:17] <dj_smilee> right. i've just burnt 3 iso's of 6.06-server and each one apparently has a corrupt kernel image?!?!
[01:17] <Frogzoo> BSoDirl: the wine guys say 64bit is really really hard, so I doubt cedega have done it
[01:17] <BSoDirl> havent tried it yet. I downloaded the front-end once.
[01:18] <Frogzoo> dj_smilee: are you burning full speed or slower?
[01:18] <userundefine> dj_smilee, check the hashes?
[01:18] <Ng> Frogzoo: as I said, the 32bit version works on amd64 machines
[01:18] <BSoDirl> and i didnt pay, i hear the "engine" is free, so you can get it all free im sure.
[01:18] <Ng> BSoDirl: as i said, the free cvs version is not identical to the pay-for version
[01:18] <dj_smilee> not checked the hashes, but i downloaded a fresh copy from a different mirror
[01:18] <BSoDirl> Frogzoo: but those 'corporate' noobs have the funding to make it work I bet.
[01:18] <BSoDirl> at transgaming lol
[01:18] <dj_smilee> each time
[01:18] <gostview> * I guess it should have work...
[01:18] <BSoDirl> Hm... that's lame Ng
[01:19] <Frogzoo> BSoDirl: so does google though ..... o.O
[01:19] <BSoDirl> I'm sure some black hat has a mirror for the pay version :)
[01:19] <Ng> BSoDirl: not really, they want to make some money and they can't distrbute all of their code for free, for legal reasons
[01:19] <BSoDirl> that seems a bit wrong though, considering wine was a GPL/LGPL project.
[01:19] <Ng> no it wasn't
[01:19] <BSoDirl> :S
[01:20] <Ng> Transgaming forked wine before it changed to GPL
[01:20] <snoops> a guy from wine was on lugradio a little while ago, seemed pretty bitter about transgaming and cedega in general - they aren't contributing to the community I think were his words
[01:20] <Frogzoo> ng BSoDirl ot, but there's extremely little love between cedega & wine these days
[01:20] <gostview> well, what pity... the only way to see a movie with flash is to wait for a flash-installer 64bit or to downgrade my OS to 32
[01:21] <dj_smilee> i'll try the iso off a disk
[01:21] <BSoDirl> Frogzoo: cedega doesn't have my love :|
[01:21] <Ng> gostview: you can install a 32bit firefox in the amd64 ubuntu, or run a 32bit chroot
[01:21] <snoops> gostview, you can try the linux32 approach
[01:21] <BSoDirl> oh btw, has anyone got 3d accel working with an S3ProSavage?
[01:22] <gostview> well, let try it then... tnx all
[01:23] <ajax4> Can someone ping irc.enterthegame.com for me? I'm having probs connecting.
[01:24] <ajax4> BSoDirl: You got return packets?

[01:24] <Otacon22> hi boys, what command I have to do for format my disc in fat?
[01:25] <BSoDirl> looks like they're denying ICMP or something.
[01:25] <Ng> Otacon22: mkfs.vfat /dev/whatever
[01:25] <snoops> you can do it from the gui Otacon22.. preferences > disks
[01:25] <ajax4> BSoDirl: Ok thanks.
[01:25] <BSoDirl> np
[01:25] <wweasel> Hey all.  I'm having a problem. The boot up and shutdown splash screens are displayed at the wrong resolution (left half of screen cut off).  What should I do?
[01:25] <BSoDirl> :*{
[01:26] <Frogzoo> Otacon22: mkfs.vfat -F 32
[01:26] <moshe> hello
[01:26] <moshe> what command syncs with the ubuntu ntp server?  For some reason, it's not being done at startup
[01:27] <Blissex> moshe: 'try 'ntpdate', but the NTP server will sync periodically with all its peers and change the time automatically if it is not too out of whack.
[01:27] <erUSUL> moshe: sudo ntpdate hora.rediris.es
[01:28] <BSoDirl> moshe: sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntulinux.org works too
[01:28] <Ng> ntp.ubuntu.com
[01:28] <moshe> beautiful
[01:28] <wweasel> Hey all.  I'm having a problem. The boot up and shutdown splash screens are displayed at the wrong resolution (left half of screen cut off).  What should I do?
[01:28] <BSoDirl> :)
[01:28] <Ng> wweasel: it could just be that your monitor needs adjusting for that screenmode
[01:28] <moshe> anyone know why when I installed acroread by hand it gave me two menu entries in xfce, when I don't have kde installed?
[01:29] <wweasel> Ng: that would make perfect sense. It used to do it right on my CRT, but since switchting to an LCD (old one) it hasn't. I should have mentioned that. What do I do?
[01:29] <Ng> wweasel: check your LCD's menus for an auto adjust option, that may work (although it may get it wrong because the background is black), otherwise use the image positioning menu items in the monitor
[01:29] <MetaMorfoziS> jrib: ok thank you
[01:29] <moshe> crap.  gotta go to work.  later all
[01:30] <Frogzoo> erUSUL: -> google ntp
[01:30] <FeestBijtje> any one knows how to instal xmms trough apt-get (i get some error that its not available
[01:30] <wweasel> Ng: But as soon as I get to login screen it displays correctly. Wouldn't that change everything?
[01:30] <CarlFK> what plugin do I need for this page http://www.yourdailymedia.com/media/1146995497/Canadian_Interview_Gone_Disgustingly_Wrong
[01:31] <Ng> wweasel: in theory the monitor should allow for each supported screen mode to be calibrated differently
[01:31] <snoops> Ng lcd's are fixed pixel dude.. it'll be an xorg.conf config problem
[01:31] <wweasel> CarlFK: video plugin
[01:31] <Ng> snoops: ?
[01:31] <snoops> Ng lcd's have a native resolution.. you can't go over it
[01:31] <Ng> snoops: they have the ability to size/position resolutions and he's talking about the splash screen, which has nothing to do with X
[01:31] <snoops> if you do, it just won't display the part it goes over
[01:31] <trygvebw> anyone know how to fix the "OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org" aka "no 3d acceleration with the fglrx driver" problem? I've tried all the guides on the Ubuntu forum, but i just can't get 3d-accel to work. i have a ATI radeon x300 card, and acceleration worked fine in breezy
[01:31] <wweasel> snoops: there's no way my splash screen has too high a resolution
[01:32] <erUSUL> Frogzoo: i use ntp servers from spain (hora.usc.es;hora.rediris.es) where i live. that's why i do not know the ubuntu one
[01:32] <Ng> snoops: err, no, if you try to go higher than the supported resolution they just won't display anything
[01:32] <wweasel> Ng: Is there any way to change the resolution the splash screen displays at?
[01:32] <FeestBijtje> trygvebw, try to buy an nvidia card we all speak nvidia :)O
[01:32] <FeestBijtje> :o)
[01:32] <CarlFK> wweasel: package name?
[01:32] <Ng> wweasel: probably not without recompiling it, but I don't know
[01:32] <trygvebw> FeestBijtje, not an option, sorry ;D
[01:32] <FeestBijtje> trygvebw, ive tried lol
[01:33] <FeestBijtje> trygvebw, whats the exact error?
[01:33] <trygvebw> there's no error, but i don't get any 3d acceleration, and fglrxinfo says:
[01:33] <trygvebw> OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
[01:33] <trygvebw> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[01:33] <Frogzoo> erUSUL: I'm not aware of ubuntu hosting their own ntp servers - they just have builtin list to local servers
[01:33] <trygvebw> not "ati" like it should
[01:33] <wweasel> CarlFK: I don't know, I used Easy Ubuntu to do it.
[01:33] <wweasel> !easyubuntu
[01:33] <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.
[01:33] <wweasel> hmmm...
[01:33] <Ng> Frogzoo: ntp.ubuntu.com
[01:34] <FeestBijtje> trygvebw, did you installed the drivers probely
[01:34] <trygvebw> yes
[01:34] <Ng> Frogzoo: they host that because pool.ntp.org is (or at least was) unreliable
[01:34] <trygvebw> i'm pretty certain that i did :/
[01:34] <wweasel> CarlFK: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_use_Easy_Ubuntu
[01:34] <Ng> !ubuntuguide
[01:34] <ubotu> ubuntuguide is an inaccurate and outdated resource. Please use help.ubuntu.com or wiki.ubuntu.com instead
[01:34] <FeestBijtje> trygvebw, or it should be the config :S
[01:34] <wweasel> Well, that section worked for me.
[01:34] <kaaaatoooo> hi, got a problem: my ubuntu is not resolving the IPs from the DNS in firefox or else. have to send a ping command first. then firefox will find the site.
[01:35] <trygvebw> xorg.conf is set to work with the fglrx driver, the fglrx driver is installed, the proprietary kernel modules package is installed
[01:35] <wweasel> Ng: Could I check what res it is tryign to display at now?
[01:35] <kaaaatoooo> is this some kind of timeout problem?
[01:35] <CarlFK> wweasel: thanks
[01:35] <snoops> wweasel the resolution is fine on your desktop right, but not on the login screens?
[01:35] <wweasel> snoops: yeah
[01:35] <snoops> wweasel did you change the resolution in the gui to the one you wanted?
[01:36] <Ng> snoops: he said earlier that when he gets to the login screen everything is fine
[01:36] <wweasel> snopes: no. it worked out of the box
[01:36] <snoops> Ng err which is it then?
[01:36] <wweasel> snoops: splash screens worked on my CRT but not on my old LCD
[01:36] <Ng> snoops: *shrug*
[01:36] <wweasel> snoops: it's the splash screens
[01:36] <Ng> snoops: I've been working under the assumption that he is talking about the bootup screen
[01:36] <Ng> which is usplash, not X
[01:37] <snoops> there's an nvidia splash screen if he's using that too..
[01:37] <wweasel> Ng: Yeah. Loading modules, etc. etc. etc. Where the bar fills up then unfills at shut down
[01:37] <BSoDirl> usplash yeah
[01:38] <snoops> can't you change that in grub menu.lst settings.. changing some vga or whatever value?
[01:38] <wweasel> snoops: we are not talking about GRUB. GRUB displays fine.
[01:38] <BSoDirl> you can I believe
[01:39] <snoops> hmm I thought grub passed the value to the kernel.. which then sent that to the loading screen you see?
[01:39] <BSoDirl> nah but you get your console resolution from menu.lst
[01:39] <Ng> grub can pass a vga parameter to the kernel which sets the resolution of the framebuffer
[01:39] <wweasel> ah, perhaps. but grub displays fine :P
[01:39] <Ng> which usplash renders onto
[01:39] <Slaryn> Hey guys could someone help me out with the wireless problem I'm (still) having?
[01:40] <BSoDirl> /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-k7 root=/dev/hda1 ro pci=noacpi quie
[01:40] <Ng> I still think the monitor settings route is worth checking though, because the splash screen should be a pretty standard VGA mode that any CRT/LCD monitor can handle
[01:40] <BSoDirl> t splash
[01:40] <BSoDirl> that's what I got :|
[01:40] <wweasel> Ng: aha! so I could get grub to tell usplash how to display...
[01:40] <CarlFK> Slaryn: not if you don't tell us abut it :)
[01:40] <Slaryn> CarlFX just seeing if anyone was available ;) Here's my deal:
[01:40] <wdamn> Hi, is there an ubuntu live cd for version 6?
[01:41] <Ng> wdamn: yes, the regular install CD is also a live CD
[01:41] <JohnnyX> can i get some help with the installation?
[01:41] <wweasel> Ng: I will. If I remember correctly however, I couldn't get a menu to open during the splash screen. (this is an old LCD, circa 1998?). How do I do the grub resolution thing? You can just link me to instructions and I'll save them for later.
[01:41] <wdamn> Ng: ok, so no distinction, like in version 5
[01:41] <Slaryn> I've got a wireless card, and I'm connection to a public (unsecured) network.  I have no control over the network.  Anyways, I can connect to only certain websites and not others... and IRC, but not AIM.  It's just really fickle
[01:42] <Slaryn> Er, connected to*
[01:42] <Otacon22> how can ! became able also other users to read and write on a disc?
[01:42] <Slaryn> CarlFX - I can go to snjcomics.com, but not google.com :P
[01:42] <ivalladt> can my mobo exact model name be read from somewhere under /proc?
[01:42] <Ng> wweasel: I'm not sure offhand, but I imagine googling for linux and vga console parameters will find some docs
[01:42] <Slaryn> And in my network info, I've got a high number of reception errors under packets received
[01:42] <wweasel> alright
[01:42] <BSoDirl> Slaryn: probably a hw firewall behind the router.
[01:42] <BSoDirl> so no one 'hax' their wireless network.
[01:43] <wweasel> BSoDirl, snoops: do you guys know? how would I do this grub resolution thing?
[01:43] <Slaryn> I doubt that, because this same card and laptop I've used perfectly fine with Windows BSoDirl
[01:43] <BSoDirl> its the vga=<something> option
[01:43] <BSoDirl> Hm.
[01:43] <Slaryn> So I know the card is fine
[01:43] <BSoDirl> did you set up a firewall on your laptop?
[01:43] <Slaryn> It's something with Ubuntu
[01:43] <BSoDirl> :S
[01:43] <CarlFK> Slaryn: what card?
[01:43] <Slaryn> Nope
[01:43] <BSoDirl> Hm..
[01:43] <The_Fonz> everytime i try to install it gets to 66% and then gives me an error message
[01:43] <BSoDirl> no aim huh?
[01:43] <The_Fonz> can someone help me with the installation process?
[01:43] <Slaryn> It's a D-Link AirPlus DWL-G650+, Atheras chipset I believe
[01:43] <snoops> take a look at vesafb wweasel
[01:44] <snoops> I found a big guide doing a lot more.. if you want that
[01:44] <Slaryn> Yeah BSoDirl, no AIM/MSN... but IRC?
[01:44] <BSoDirl> im useless then sorry :*{
[01:44] <Slaryn> o_O It's so random.
[01:44] <kaaaatoooo> slaryn, i got a similar problem
[01:44] <BSoDirl> but youve used aim on that particular network before?
[01:44] <Slaryn> Yes
[01:44] <wweasel> snoops: vesafb? I could look at the guide
[01:44] <Slaryn> And DC++, and google.com....
[01:44] <CarlFK> Slaryn: I have one of those - mine works fine :) - I think there are relly 4 revisions - check the d-link web site - they show pictures of each version
[01:44] <Slaryn> I tried ndiswrapper-ing the drivers on it, still no luck
[01:45] <Slaryn> kaaaatoooob, how'd you fix it?
[01:45] <CarlFK> Slaryn: mine is not an Atheras
[01:45] <BSoDirl> only thing I can figure is some port is closed on your laptop in linux or... the people who own the router put something behind it :[
[01:45] <kaaaatoooo> i can go to google.de but not to sites i never PINGed before :)
[01:45] <kaaaatoooo> its kinda weird
[01:45] <Slaryn> Hmmm I can ping them all fine
[01:45] <Slaryn> I get responses to google.com pings
[01:45] <Slaryn> But timeouts when I firefox them
[01:46] <BSoDirl> ugh
[01:46] <Slaryn> BSoDirl: where do I check these port settings?
[01:46] <Slaryn> Or how could that work out?
[01:46] <kaaaatoooo> after that wait a moment and retry by clicking on go again
[01:46] <wweasel> Ng, snoops, BSoDirl: Thank you all so much.
[01:46] <BSoDirl> im useless in this situation
[01:46] <BSoDirl> sorry i couldnt help :*{
[01:46] <Slaryn> ;) No problem, thanks anyways
[01:46] <Slaryn> kaaaatoooo, nothing still
[01:47] <CarlFK> Slaryn: tail -f /var/log/messages - see if anything interesting shows when you have problems
[01:47] <BSoDirl> you could nmap yourself lol
[01:47] <vincenz> I installed enigmail for thunderbird and now when I launch thunderbird I get this:
[01:47] <BSoDirl> scan all your own ports, and figure out whats up

[01:48] <snoops> wweasel http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=203093 <- sounds alright.. for setting the uspash resolution.. adding vga=numberfromchart to your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:48] <Slaryn> CarlFX I got some of these

[01:49] <Slaryn> Dunno what they mean though.
[01:49] <Ng> you can ignore those
[01:50] <CarlFK> Slaryn: that is 'normal' - did you browse to google and have problems?
[01:50] <Slaryn> Yes
[01:50] <Slaryn> I can't access google.com, or a few other sites.  And as I said, no AIM/MSN, only IRC.
[01:50] <Slaryn> Might it have something to do with types of packets?
[01:51] <CarlFK> Slaryn: did you try google while the tail -f was going?
[01:51] <vincenz> I found a solution
[01:51] <Slaryn> Oh, no :p
[01:51] <Slaryn> One moment
[01:51] <Slaryn> vincenz ?
[01:52] <Slaryn> No nothing comes up, CarlFX
[01:52] <wildekek> Slaryn: : "a few other sites", does this mean a few sites *are* working? if so, it could it be your dns settings?
[01:52] <Slaryn> wildekek yes some sites do work
[01:52] <Slaryn> And I don't know about my DNS settings :p
[01:53] <Slaryn> It's on DHCP, I know that
[01:53] <Slaryn> Static IP kills the whole thing
[01:53] <vincenz> Slaryn: was referring to my problem
[01:53] <ajax4> later guys
[01:53] <Slaryn> Oh, sorry.  ;)
[01:54] <wildekek> Slaryn: then you probably also get your dns trough dhcp...do other machines work on the same network trough dhcp?
[01:54] <Slaryn> wildekek: I'm not sure, the only other machines on this network would be people in their hotel rooms.... and at 4:54am not really at liberty to ask them ;D
[01:54] <BSoDirl> REALLY hopes this S3 DRi stuff works.
[01:55] <CarlFK> Slaryn: if static kills it, then you probably aren't setting something right - which is probably what is causing your current problem
[01:55] <Slaryn> How should I set it?
[01:55] <BSoDirl> Slaryn: the admin coulda filtered IPs through one of the DNS servers, ya never know about those shady netadmins..
[01:55] <CarlFK> Slaryn: 'right' :)

[02:00] <Slaryn> What isn't IP?
[02:01] <CarlFK> Slaryn: the error cont inst an IP problem - it is like a damaged cable.   I am guessing you don't have quite the right driver/firmware files
[02:01] <Slaryn> CarlFX how would I go about getting the correct ones?
[02:02] <Slaryn> I'd google it but... :p

[02:04] <johlin> I'm having some problems with grub here. I've installed ubuntu a few times, but with dapper I

[02:05] <BCK14> hmm can anyone help me, im installing using alternate cd and it looks to have frozen configuring apt
[02:05] <BCK14> this is due to ipv6 and my router
[02:05] <BCK14> as its trying to scan the mirrors
[02:05] <johlin> I installed ubuntu on my secondary slave drive. I was going to make a boot partition in the beginning, but since I could only have 4 partitions (and I didn't know how to make extended ones) I couldn't. So now I'm stuck with a grub error 21. How do I make it work?
[02:06] <CarlFK> Slaryn: this is the driver I use: http://acx100.sourceforge.net

[02:09] <Slaryn> Hey, sorry
[02:09] <johlin> would someone mind helping me with just getting a grub-floppy working? I just need to bood ubuntu from that.
[02:09] <Slaryn> What was last said about my wireless issue?
[02:09] <Slaryn> CarlFX if you're here

[02:11] <Slaryn> CarlFX site won't load
[02:11] <johlin> biscon: I don't know, I haven't had grub problems before so I'm not that familiar with it.
[02:11] <Slaryn> Because of my same problem... oh the irony.  XD

[02:13] <biscon> johlin: I haven't had any since my gentoo days, you asked for a way to manually alter the grub conf, thats why I proposed chroot from the live cd, but you have to know how to use grub for that to work
[02:14] <BSoDirl> I downloaded the k7 headers, the image, rest. modules, both DRI packages I needed, and I still got nothin.
[02:14] <CarlFK> Slaryn: I think it does 'tab completion' - type carl and hit tab - see if it completes my name (just a tip - if it works you will see why I noticed )
[02:14] <Slaryn> It does, I knew that already
[02:14] <dudleh> was that edit the grub conf without root?
[02:15] <Slaryn> Oh I was probably typing CarlFX instead of CarlFK
[02:15] <Slaryn> Your nick is short enough I don't bother tabbing it :p
[02:15] <Gibson> I'm having problems with the installation can someone help me?
[02:16] <wahjava> hi channel
[02:16] <luc1fersflowers> hello all
[02:16] <tinklepants> CarlFX <- haha
[02:16] <Gibson> it gets to 66% done and gives me an error message about bootsrap.log
[02:16] <wildekek> is it possible to switch off USB ports with a shell command?
[02:16] <Slaryn> Your nick is bright yellow Carl, haha
[02:16] <CarlFK> Slaryn: now I feel lazy :)
[02:16] <wahjava> is it possible to install Dapper over PXE boot
[02:16] <johlin> what is the root password for the live cd?
[02:16] <wahjava> like I've done previously with Breezy
[02:16] <snoops> sudo johlin
[02:16] <CarlFK> wahjava: sort of - mostly no
[02:16] <biscon> johlin: isn't any I think, use sudo
[02:16] <Slaryn> Well anyways... any final solutions to my dumb wireless?  Or am I basically screwed
[02:16] <tinklepants> Gibson is yer first name steve
[02:16] <tinklepants> ?
[02:17] <wahjava> johlin: why not try 'sudo passwd' to set root password
[02:17] <Gibson> no
[02:17] <johlin> aah
[02:17] <johlin> thanks wahjava
[02:17] <tinklepants> oh johnny
[02:17] <biscon> Gibson: pheew :)
[02:17] <Gibson> why??
[02:17] <Gibson> is that bad?
[02:17] <snoops> because setting a root password is a security hazard wahjava
[02:17] <tinklepants> cuz steve is one of my fav ppl
[02:17] <CarlFK> Slaryn: any idea what driver/module you are using?
[02:17] <luc1fersflowers> is there a command to batch-move files of one extension from a bunch of folders into one folder?
[02:17] <biscon> tinklepants: really? steve gibson?
[02:17] <CarlFK> wahjava: top of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet
[02:17] <wahjava> CarlFK: 0kay, so you mean it can't be installed over network
[02:17] <Slaryn> Mmm nope... anywhere I can check?
[02:17] <Gibson> nope
[02:17] <Gibson> sorry
[02:18] <tinklepants> yes, i read/listen to all his stuff
[02:18] <Bassetts> are the icon packs in ubuntu opensource?? (can i use them on my site)
[02:18] <Slaryn> Bassetts, that
[02:18] <Gibson> whats he about?
[02:18] <wahjava> johlin: if you want root shell, instead of setting root password you can do 'sudo bash'
[02:18] <Slaryn> is just lazy
[02:18] <CarlFK> luc1fersflowers: mv
[02:18] <Bassetts> Slaryn: how is it?
[02:18] <wahjava> johlin: and then enjoy bash with superuser privileges
[02:18] <Gibson> this damn installation process wont finish
[02:18] <johlin> yay
[02:18] <Gibson> i dont know what the problem is
[02:19] <johlin> yeah
[02:19] <johlin> that works too
[02:19] <Gibson> it was fine the last time i did it
[02:19] <Bassetts> Slaryn: its an ubuntu site, i want it to all fit in
[02:19] <Slaryn> You can't make your own little icons?
[02:19] <Slaryn> Oh, then oh
[02:19] <tinklepants> Gibson is all about windows security, rather critical of MS
[02:19] <Slaryn> Nevermind.  ;D
[02:19] <Bassetts> Slaryn: but i dont want to use them if i am not allowed
[02:19] <tinklepants> well Gibson wrote Spinrite too
[02:19] <Slaryn> I'm sure if it's for an Ubuntu site it'd be no big deal
[02:19] <luc1fersflowers> so if i were to mv jpg files it would look something like this mv /home/pics/*.jpg /home/pix? CarlFK
[02:19] <Gibson> can someone help me with the installation?
[02:19] <Bassetts> but the ubuntu time dont make the tango icons do they?
[02:19] <biscon> tinklepants: I don't want to offend you but gibson is scaremongering publicity hungering idiot imho :)
[02:19] <funkmaster> i have a stupid question: how can i find out if my video card supports 3d?
[02:20] <tinklepants> biscon, that offends me :)
[02:20] <luc1fersflowers> CarlFK, i have alot of pictures that i want all in one folder, but there sorted throught many containing folders
[02:20] <biscon> tinklepants: sorry
[02:20] <snoops> google the card funkmaster?
[02:20] <wahjava> CarlFK: thanks :)
[02:20] <CarlFK> anyone know how to Slaryn can figure out what module is being used by the ath0?
[02:20] <tinklepants> so biscon is pro-MS, ok
[02:20] <tinklepants> no offense
[02:20] <Gibson> it says something about bootstrap.log
[02:20] <wahjava> CarlFK: ath0 ?? a network interface is that
[02:21] <biscon> tinklepants: why do I have to be pro ms because I dont like steve gibson?
[02:21] <wahjava> CarlFK: if yeah then dmesg |fgrep ath0
[02:21] <Slaryn> Yes it's my wireless card wahjava
[02:21] <johlin> will grub find my boot partition on my slave drive, as long as it is the first partition?
[02:21] <knight488> can someone tell me how to fix the input lag with ATI cards?
[02:21] <CarlFK> luc1fersflowers: you may want to use: find ./ -name "*.jpg" -exec mv {} /home/pix \;
[02:21] <wahjava> Slaryn: do that 'dmesg |fgrep ath0'
[02:21] <tinklepants> biscon, figure it out, u just defended MS against gibsons technical criticisms, duh
[02:21] <biscon> CarlFK: what about dmesg | grep ath0
[02:21] <orion> does suse or red hat drivers for ibm server work with ubuntu ?
[02:21] <Slaryn> Ok one moment
[02:21] <burepe> what is the mount location for a samba network. I want to access a file throught a program's dialog but I don't know where to look.
[02:21] <BCK14> !ubuntguide
[02:21] <ubotu> I know nothing about ubuntguide
[02:22] <BCK14> !ubuntuguide
[02:22] <Gibson> does /list |more work?
[02:22] <ubotu> ubuntuguide is an inaccurate and outdated resource. Please use help.ubuntu.com or wiki.ubuntu.com instead
[02:22] <biscon> tinklepants: did I? what did I say? :)
[02:22] <luc1fersflowers> CarlFK, i'll give that a try, thank you
[02:22] <tinklepants> biscon, scroll up please
[02:22] <g-nome> adding some items to panel (and removing others), i have NO SYSTEM tray anyore :-( that mean that every program with a system tray icon, does not show it  there
[02:22] <biscon> tinklepants: I just said I didn't like him, that doesn't mean im pro ms
[02:22] <Slaryn> CarlFK - [17179610.748000]  ath0: Atheros 5212: mem=0x12000000, irq=11
[02:22] <wahjava> johlin: GRUB will also find your boot partition even if it isn't first partition ;)
[02:22] <Slaryn> That what you were lookin for?
[02:23] <CarlFK> orion: linux drivers work with linux - so 'probably'
[02:23] <Gibson> does this server have helpop?
[02:23] <Slaryn> It'
[02:23] <Slaryn> Ack
[02:23] <Slaryn> It's Atheros 5212 if that's what you were looking for ***
[02:23] <johlin> wahjaava: it doesn't find /boot on my root partition, but it will if I have a separate boot partition?
[02:23] <CarlFK> Slaryn: I am trying to figure out how to rmmod DriverName so you can insmod aix100 (the right driver)
[02:23] <Gibson> ok i think i figured it out
[02:24] <Slaryn> Ah, but finding the right driver is hard without any net access
[02:24] <Gibson> i have to mautally partion the harddrives instead of guided
[02:24] <Gibson> manually*
[02:24] <biscon> tinklepants: http://grcsucks.com/ <-- some of the reasons why I dont like him is summarized on this page
[02:24] <knight488> ah I have an Atheros 5212 too
[02:24] <CarlFK> Slaryn: I think I know what the right driver is : aix100 - what I don't know is hnow to get the wrong driver out of the way
[02:24] <Gibson> is there a way to upgrade to dapper without actually having to download the entire 400mb package?
[02:25] <Slaryn> Oh
[02:25] <wahjava> Slaryn: try this: lsmod |fgrep net
[02:25] <Slaryn> wahjava nothing happened
[02:25] <wahjava> Slaryn: lsmod |fgrep mii
[02:26] <Gibson> whats the command that shows you all the possible servers?
[02:26] <Slaryn> Nothing happened, again
[02:26] <Gibson> like nick serv and chan serv and memo serv?
[02:26] <CarlFK> Slaryn: less  /var/log/messages - /search for ath0 - then look around for a module/file name
[02:26] <wahjava> CarlFK: do you know on what driver does wireless drivers depend ??
[02:26] <knight488> Slaryn, I kinda just got here, are you trying to set up wireless internet?
[02:26] <Slaryn> knight488: sort of, having some issues
[02:26] <CarlFK> wahjava: nope - you have good ideas though ;)
[02:27] <mag> have someone experience with compiz and xgl ?
[02:27] <wahjava> CarlFK: I never enjoyed wlan :(
[02:27] <Slaryn> knight488: My wireless card access only some sites
[02:27] <Slaryn> And IRC, but not AIM
[02:27] <g-nome> adding some items to panel (and removing others), i have NO SYSTEM tray anyore :-( that mean that every program with a system tray icon, does not show it  there . is there a way to show the syste, tray?
[02:27] <CarlFK> knight488: Slaryn has a dlink dwl-650+ wifi cars - I do too. mine uses the aix100 module
[02:27] <burepe> how can I find network files in the files system? what is the location?
[02:27] <Slaryn> Getting reception errors, and I'm on a public network at the hotel I work at/.
[02:27] <jrib> ubotu: tell mag about xgl
[02:28] <knight488> Slaryn well thats a pretty strange feature
[02:28] <Slaryn> Yes
[02:28] <CarlFK> Slaryn: you near chicago?  I could use a room ;)
[02:28] <Slaryn> snjcomics.com works, but not google.com :)
[02:28] <Slaryn> Hah nope
[02:28] <Slaryn> AZ
[02:28] <knight488> I had a simular problem with ethernet, but not wireless
[02:28] <knight488> you using ndiswrapper?
[02:28] <arapehl> two coasters later, I got Ubuntu to boot from CD! w00t!
[02:28] <Slaryn> I tried ndiswrapper a few hours ago, it failed
[02:29] <Slaryn> With multiple different drivers
[02:29] <Slaryn> CarlFK couldn't you just install the aix1000 right over the old driver?
[02:29] <arapehl> so now, can someone tell me how to go about burning my files to CD in such a way that I'll be able to read'em from linux?
[02:29] <Slaryn> Or must it be removed?
[02:29] <knight488> the different drivers all made your card detected? I only found one that worked at all
[02:29] <CarlFK> Slaryn: if you can try ndis, then you .. you need to remove the old
[02:29] <Slaryn> I have ndiswrapper on here still
[02:30] <Slaryn> Althought an ndiswrapper -l gives me none
[02:30] <CarlFK> Slaryn: less  /var/log/messages - /search for ath0 - then look around for a module/file name
[02:30] <mag> jrib: I have compiz and xgl now, but I have a problem, I can not see all the menu bars on the windows and I have to run this command "gnome-window-decorator &" when I turn on the pc , why ? 3 months ago I had not run this command
[02:30] <Slaryn> Carl ok
[02:31] <jrib> mag: I don't know, #ubuntu-xgl may be able to help you
[02:31] <mag> ok ! thank's
[02:32] <Slaryn> CarlFK - pattern not found
[02:32] <knight488> does anyone know how to fix the annoying mouse input lag with ATI cards?
[02:33] <Kelerion> guys.. trying to install 6.06 on a new t2000 server I recieved yesterday... not getting very far... anyone know of any problems with the install procedure on this server?
[02:33] <Cripps> has anybody tried xgl/compiz on an ati xpress200M successfully? ... or any ati card successfully for that matter?
[02:33] <CarlFK> Slaryn: try dmesg|less - somwhere should be the log of the driver/module assigning itself to ath0 (that is the device name, right?)
[02:33] <Hexidigital_> Kelerion:: what kind of problems are you having?
[02:34] <Slaryn> Yes it's on ath0
[02:34] <Slaryn> And I'll give it a shot
[02:34] <Kelerion> it boots into the installer.. I answer a couple of questions.. then the installer just stops
[02:34] <BSoDirl> ok im upset
[02:34] <Hexidigital_> Kelerion:: specifics please.... where did it stop?
[02:34] <BSoDirl> I installed DRI as suggested on the forums
[02:34] <BSoDirl> download 35m of files on dialup
[02:34] <BSoDirl> and.... no DRI :S
[02:34] <BSoDirl> installed everything verbatim
[02:35] <Kelerion> am trying again as we speak.. I'll let you know as it goes through
[02:35] <Hexidigital_> Kelerion:: ok
[02:35] <Kelerion> I've installed ubuntu a few dozen times.. am not new to it.. so I doubt it's anything obvious
[02:35] <knight488> Cripps, what are you trying to do?
[02:35] <Kelerion> first screen... selected language: english
[02:36] <Kelerion> second screen: selected UK
[02:36] <Cripps> knight488, I'd like to install xgl/compiz on my laptop, but I have an ati card, and I wanted to make sure it won't screw my system before I do.
[02:36] <Slaryn> Erm CarlFK... I have a few "ath0 - no ipv6 router present"'s in there
[02:36] <knight488> Cripps ah, I'm on my laptop with it's 200M now
[02:36] <Slaryn> The rest ath0-related messages are just telling me the b and g speeds, channels, etc
[02:37] <Kelerion> ok.. third screen is a bit wierd... this server doesn't have a keyboard.. you need to install over a serial link.. but selecting a kb anyways
[02:37] <Cripps> knight488, excellent. just follow the directions on the ubuntu wiki then?
[02:37] <knight488> while it won't mess up your system, theres some annoying aspects to it
[02:37] <knight488> hm
[02:37] <Cripps> knight488, such as?
[02:37] <knight488> hang on, I actualy took directions off the forum...
[02:37] <Cripps> kk.
[02:38] <Davegoodson> hey, is it possible to install ubuntu on a USB HDD, and does it have XGL installed?
[02:38] <Hexidigital_> Kelerion:: there's no keyboard?
[02:38] <CarlFK> Slaryn: above that
[02:38] <knight488> Cripps, I followed this:  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204910
[02:38] <Cripps> knight488, these are the instructions I was going to follow: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Xgl.2FCompiz_.28Nvidia.29
[02:38] <Kelerion> nope
[02:38] <Hexidigital_> Kelerion:: you need a keyboard plugged in, afaik
[02:38] <Slaryn> CarlFK the only other stuff was the thing I pasted to you
[02:38] <Slaryn> Nothing about a driver name
[02:38] <Kelerion> this server doesn't have a ps2 port or even vga port
[02:38] <Cripps> knight488, what were the "annoying" aspects you were talking about?
[02:39] <Slaryn> CarlFK: It keeps reminding me I'm on Atheras 5212 is all
[02:39] <Slaryn> IRQ11
[02:39] <biscon> Slaryn: if_ath_g <-- do you have this when you do lsmod?
[02:39] <knight488> Cripps, and while opengl, direct3d, and all that works, "accelerated graphics" is kinda glitchy
[02:39] <Hexidigital_> Kelerion:: unless anyone can think of another reason, i think that is why your install is stopping
[02:39] <CarlFK> Slaryn: you want to see (from mine): acx v0.3.21: net device wlan0, driver compiled against wireless extensions 19 and Linux 2.6.15-25-686
[02:40] <knight488> Cripps, theres some kind of annoying input lag for example in 3d games, that lags progressivly worse if you try higher resolutions
[02:40] <Davegoodson> hey, is it possible to install ubuntu on a USB HDD, and does it have XGL installed?
[02:40] <Hexidigital_> Davegoodson:: yes and no
[02:40] <Kelerion> 6.06 specifically has support for this server.. it's the new UltraSparc T1 (Niagara)...
[02:40] <Cripps> knight488, ahh. then it's no problem for me. I don't play games ;)
[02:40] <Slaryn> No biscon
[02:40] <Davegoodson> Hexidigital_: why yes and no? :(
[02:40] <g-nome> is it possible to launch xeyes without windows borders?
[02:40] <Slaryn> CarlFK: ok an that's from less|dmesg?
[02:41] <Hexidigital_> Davegoodson:: yes for usb hdd install, (if your mobo supports usb boot), and no XGL install by default....
[02:41] <CarlFK> Slaryn: yes.  lsmod|less - try to figure out what looks like your driver
[02:41] <knight488> Cripps, also Cedega only detects 3d acceleration about 75% of the time, 20% of the time if you use version 8.25
[02:41] <Slaryn> Ok
[02:41] <Cripps> Davegoodson, yes, it is possible, but you have to install xgl yourself afterwards. there's instructions on http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper
[02:41] <biscon> Slaryn: ath_hal <-- perhaps? :)
[02:41] <knight488> Cripps, ah if you don't really need tweaked out 3d preformance, it should do just fine then
[02:41] <Cripps> knight488, well, as I said, I don't game ... so that shouldn't be a problem :D
[02:41] <Cripps> knight488, awesome. thanks for the link, Imma go follow it now.
[02:42] <Davegoodson> is it easy to install XGL? And are nvidia drivers preinstalled?
[02:42] <Hexidigital_> !xgl
[02:42] <snoops> there are many guides for xgl and compiz Davegoodson.. a really good one on the ubuntu wiki
[02:42] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[02:42] <CarlFK> Slaryn: im going back to sleep - once you figure out what to rmmod, insmode acx or acx100 or acx111 (not sure what it is called on a stock install) - Ill be back in a few hours
[02:42] <Slaryn> I'll be gone Carl
[02:42] <snoops> and you will need to install the nvidia drivers before you go ahead
[02:42] <Slaryn> But thanks
[02:42] <Slaryn> bicson, no
[02:43] <Slaryn> Closest is
[02:43] <CarlFK> Slaryn: im here most of the time
[02:43] <Slaryn> ath_pci?
[02:43] <HellDragon> att
[02:43] <biscon> sounds like it
[02:43] <johlin> the installer always crashes on me. The only thing I'm doing is formatting 3 partitions.
[02:44] <Slaryn> Wait biscon
[02:44] <Slaryn> ath_hal is there
[02:44] <Slaryn> On a second look
[02:45] <g-nome> is it possible to launch xeyes without windows borders?
[02:46] <sp1d3r> How I can restrict access to one of my apache2 directory
[02:46] <Cripps> johlin, try using a rescue disk to partition/format your HD, and then on the installer choose the mount points, (and manually do swapon), and for the "format?" option choose "leave data unchanged" ... that might prevent the crashes if it's only doing it during the format stage.
[02:46] <Slaryn> biscon what should I be looking for under ath_hal/ath_pci?
[02:47] <biscon> Slaryn: well I wasn't here from the start and I don't know what the problem is with your wifi.. but far as I can read from Carl's responses he did want you to unload your current drivers and load the new ones right?
[02:47] <sp1d3r> Anyone know what are the right steps to configure a restriction on apache2 directory?
[02:47] <Slaryn> Yes I think so
[02:48] <Slaryn> sp1d3r, perhaps an .htaccess
[02:48] <Kelerion> Hexidigital_ it's freezing when it gets to the partitioner.. I think it's more likely to do with the sata drives - do you think?
[02:48] <g-nome> is it possible to launch xeyes without windows borders? anyone? using this fancy/funny tool? :-)
[02:48] <Slaryn> Or edit your htppd.conf
[02:48] <Frogzoo> g-nome: pretty sure yes, try google
[02:48] <Hexidigital_> Kelerion:: could be... unfortunately, i have no experience with SATA
[02:48] <biscon> Slaryn: okay to follow his advice you should then rmmod the old drivers and ismod or modprobe the new ones
[02:48] <johlin> Cripps: thanks. I might just make a xp boot disk (copying 2 files from my windows drive) and fix it with partition magic
[02:48] <Kelerion> thanks anyways
[02:48] <biscon> Slaryn: thats what he said before right before he left :)
[02:49] <Hexidigital_> Kelerion:: sorry
[02:49] <Hexidigital_> !usenames
[02:49] <ubotu> I know nothing about usenames
[02:49] <Hexidigital_> !usename
[02:49] <ubotu> I know nothing about usename
[02:49] <Hexidigital_> hmm
[02:49] <Cripps> johlin, it's best to use a linux boot disk for that. google "gparted"
[02:49] <Kelerion> anyone here installed ubuntu on one of these t2000 servers yet?
[02:49] <Cripps> johlin, it's a live CD meant for just that ... and best of all, it's free!
[02:49] <biscon> Cripps: isn't the ubuntu livecd a boot disk? :)
[02:49] <KuLover> Has anyone tried the new ATI drivers release?
[02:50] <KuLover> Version 8.26.18
[02:50] <biscon> johlin: you always open a terminal and go fdisk makefs on its ass, manually partitioning and formatting the filesystems.. never crashed for me
[02:50] <Cripps> biscon, yeah ... the ubuntu install disk I have isn't a "liveCD" ... end the rescue environment won't work unless you have a fully completed ubuntu install on a readable hard disk.
[02:50] <biscon> johlin: if you don't know how to do read about it in the gentoo install doc. I know this is ubuntu but using fdisk and the makefs family is pretty much the same :)
[02:51] <g-nome> Frogzoo: can't find anything relevant
[02:51] <biscon> Cripps: oh I thought he was installing dapper
[02:51] <Cripps> biscon, yeah. it's pretty basic stuff. It pisses me off though, how a lot of those minimal rescue disks and such, don't have the support I need.
[02:51] <Cripps> biscon, he is.
[02:52] <Cripps> biscon, maybe my idea of what a "live disk" is flawed.
[02:52] <johlin> it seems as if my boot partition is too small, 8mb is not enough. Is there any way to shrink/move the ntfs partition that is after it, to give the boot partition a few more mb?
[02:52] <biscon> Cripps: well I didn't have any problems with the gui gnome partition editor.. but yeah using fdisk probably isn't fun for a newcomer
[02:53] <Cripps> johlin, ntfsresize ... google it. I don't know if it's on the ubuntu install disk though.
[02:53] <johlin> the command exists
[02:53] <Cripps> biscon, yeah.
[02:54] <johlin> but I don't know how to use it. Is there a frontend for it in synaptic somewhere?
[02:54] <Ro1> hey all
[02:54] <biscon> johlin: overall I would recommend keeping linux and windows on different harddisks if you can spare a drive :)
[02:54] <le03n> hello! how nows how can i install ssh demon from preseed file (auto installation)???
[02:55] <Cripps> le03n, sudo apt-get install ssh
[02:55] <zennist> test
[02:56] <Ro1> firefox is so slow to get a awebsite and download it in ubuntu...but when i used windows is extremely fast...can someone help me fix it
[02:56] <Cripps> Ro1, you were six words away from being a troll there ;)
[02:56] <le03n> thx, but this dosnt work in the pressed file...
[02:57] <Cripps> le03n, what, by the way, is a "pressed file" ?
[02:57] <Ro1> cripps: whatcha mean
[02:57] <le03n> auto config file for all installations questions
[02:57] <biscon> Cripps: the daemon package is called openssh-server
[02:58] <Cripps> Ro1, "this was fast in windows but is slow in ubuntu" is usually a line that trolls use to arouse controversy.
[02:58] <Cripps> biscon, my bad.
[02:58] <le03n> you pusch the button and get drink a coffe, in the time ubuntu insall automaticaly ;-)
[02:58] <zennist> ubuntu is great.
[02:58] <Ro1> cripps: dont get me wrong...i'm not trying to start anything...i hate windows....but am trying to make this as good as possible
[02:58] <le03n> i tried aleady "base-config	base-config/late_command	string apt-get install ssh" but this dosent work :-(
[02:59] <zennist> but i dont like the new version. dapper.
[02:59] <Ro1> cripps: sorry if i annoyed you or something
[02:59] <fenrrir> algum brasileiro, que possa tirar duvidas do XGl no dapper amd64 ?
[02:59] <Cripps> Ro1, I understand. I commented because I found it humorous.
[02:59] <thoreauputic_> Ro1: check out disabling IPv6 in about:config
[02:59] <zennist> 'cause i dont noe how to configure the vmware at dapper.
[02:59] <Cripps> Ro1, unfortunately, I can't help because I haven't experienced that problem. sorry :(
[03:00] <johlin> I don't know anything about ntfsresize or linux partition editing in general, would someone mind helping me in a private window?
[03:00] <Cripps> !tell fenrrir about #ubuntu-br
[03:00] <ubotu> I know nothing about #ubuntu-br
[03:00] <Ro1> cripps-thanks anyway
[03:00] <Cripps> fenrrir, #ubuntu-br
[03:00] <fenrrir> sorry
[03:00] <jordan_> hi
[03:00] <Cripps> fenrrir, that's okay.
[03:02] <thoreauputic_> !br
[03:02] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[03:02] <Speek> I need help with a wireless connection for ubuntu. I can't access the internet... I'm on my windows right now
[03:02] <jordan_> I can't help you, sorry
[03:03] <Ro1> speek: maybe i can try to help...what kind of wireless card do you have
[03:03] <Speek> I have a Airlink101 Wireless PCI card
[03:03] <Ro1> sorry..i dont have experience with that card
[03:03] <Ro1> seaching ubuntu forums may help (ubuntuforums.org)
[03:04] <Speek> I did they mentioned
[03:04] <Speek> ndiswrapper
[03:04] <neutrinomass> How do I tell that 3d acceleration is enabled ?
[03:04] <jordan_> I need help about play video in my ubuntu
[03:04] <jordan_> I have mplayer, but it doesn't play anything
[03:04] <seanh> Okay, bit of a problem. WHen I first installed ubuntu I created user seanh which was a sudo user. Later I created user s0094060 also sudo. Later I deleted user seanh to save space. This caused s0094060 to no longer by a sudo user. No I have no sudo user.
[03:04] <biscon> neutrinomass: try glxinfo | grep OpenGL
[03:05] <neutrinomass> seanh: If you didn't touch the sudoers file, then all you have to do is boot from rescue mode and add a user to the 'admin' group in /etc/group
[03:05] <BSoDirl> im having a problem with 3d too :|
[03:05] <BSoDirl> I installed the snapshots from freedesktop.org, and they say everythings fine.
[03:05] <seanh> neutrinomass - where is the sudoers file stored?
[03:05] <BSoDirl> no direct rendering :|
[03:06] <neutrinomass> biscon: What do I expect to see ? I don't have a 3d card on this comp, but I'm going to a store with a livecd to check out a laptop.
[03:06] <seanh> neutrinomass - also, s0094060 *was* a sudo user, removing user seanh seemed to change the sudo status of s0094060. Very odd.
[03:06] <neutrinomass> biscon: I take it that it should work out of the box (some integrated intel controller I think )
[03:06] <Speek> How abouts do I get my nvidia on ubuntu?
[03:07] <neutrinomass> seanh: It's in /etc/sudoers. Do you remember changing it ?
[03:07] <seanh> neutrinomass - no. I didn't change it
[03:07] <biscon> neutrinomass: well the nvidia or ati supplied drivers isn't included on the livecd, but generally you should buy nvidia with linux, works best
[03:07] <jordan_> my mplayer say me : New_face failed. Maybe the font page is wrong. Please suply the text font file
[03:07] <jordan_> What can I do ?
[03:07] <belajar> every one in the chat I am a newbe using linuk I have problem to instal aplication in ubuntu
[03:07] <biscon> if you just wanna know the chipset you can do a lspci or ask the clerk
[03:07] <seanh> neutrinomass - well, I'll try booting into resuce mode, thanks
[03:07] <neutrinomass> seanh: I'm not sure exactly what you did and s0009whatever isn't sudo anymore :(
[03:08] <neutrinomass> biscon: Yeah, I know that part ;) It's not nvidia or ATI, it's some shared memory intel integrated graphics (but I've got no model from the prospectus).
[03:08] <jordan_> when you finish with this problem, you can try to help me, please ?
[03:09] <neutrinomass> biscon: glxinfo | grep OpenGL should tell me whether 3d is enabled. If it is enabled, I guess everything is alright and that graphics-wise the laptop is OK ?
[03:09] <jordan_> I feel ignored :(
[03:09] <biscon> neutrinomass: I wouldn't buy it then, but I've heard that the intel 945 have decent drivers.. anyway if you want that exact model I think you should get the chipset name with lspci and then google it
[03:09] <Myth> yay: http://digg.com/gadgets/Fake_Mailer
[03:10] <Speek> How do I get NDISWRAPPER on my ubuntu?
[03:10] <neutrinomass> biscon: It's a great deal (1GB DDR, Core Duo, 100GB sata hd, dvdrw for 950 euros) :( Ok, will do that. Final question: What do I expect to see in grep OpenGL that will tell me whether 3d is enabled?
[03:10] <biscon> neutrinomass: no glxinfo | grep OpenGL will only give you the vendor and manufacturer strings for the currently running GLX
[03:10] <neutrinomass> biscon: Oh...
[03:11] <Ribs> glxinfo | grep direct
[03:11] <Ribs> that's the line you need
[03:11] <biscon> neutrinomass: the livecd usually only provides the mesa software rendering glx.. you should get the name if the chipset with lspci and then google the name + linux
[03:11] <neutrinomass> Ribs: Thanks.
[03:11] <biscon> neutrinomass: that should give you a clue as the whether linux accelerated drivers exists :)
[03:12] <neutrinomass> biscon: Ok thanks. Any idea on how well ipw3945 works ?
[03:12] <biscon> neutrinomass: I don't even know what it is mate :)
[03:12] <neutrinomass> biscon: Ok thanks anyway :) (wireless )
[03:12] <cwillu> !smbfs > me
[03:12] <ubotu> I know nothing about smbfs
[03:12] <cwillu> !cifs > me
[03:12] <ubotu> I know nothing about cifs
[03:12] <cwillu> !samba > me
[03:12] <jordan_> biscon can you help me please ?
[03:13] <biscon> neutrinomass: I still haven't jumped on the wifi bandwaggon so I don't know that much about wlan config.. but again google is usually your friend.. although it can take some time :)
[03:13] <biscon> jordan_: I can try
[03:13] <jordan_> ok thanks
[03:13] <jordan_> look
[03:14] <neutrinomass> biscon: I've found http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net which is endorsed by Intel so it's probably not too bad, but I'm looking for first hand experience as well ;)
[03:14] <jordan_> I am a new user of ubuntu
[03:14] <jordan_> and I can't play video with mplayer
[03:14] <neutrinomass> (I've seen tons of issues with ipw2200 and that's made me suspcious ;) )
[03:14] <jordan_> I know play mp3
[03:14] <jordan_> but no video
[03:14] <Otacon22> someone can help me?I have a 250 gb external hdd and when I connect it ubuntu mount it on /media/usbdisk/ but I want that ubuntu automount this hdd in /media/Lacie/ I can remount also using the discs tool in system>administration.... but when I sconnect and reconnect the usb cable ubuntu already mount on /media/usbdisk/ , how I can set that ubuntu mount in /media/Lacie/   ?????
[03:14] <neutrinomass> jordan_: What kind of video? Any video? Have you installed the appropriate codecs ?
[03:14] <fenrrir> my compiz crash, and crash borders of gnome, i'm use dapper amd64, not compiz run,  somebody knows what it can be?
[03:14] <neutrinomass> codecs -> plugins
[03:14] <biscon> neutrinomass: well that probably means that is is an open source driver backed by the company who makes it (intel), that usually means great support.. but again I don't know anything about wifi
[03:15] <jordan_> i want play a wma or asf video
[03:15] <biscon> jordan_: you probably need all the patent encumbered file formats
[03:15] <orbin> Otacon22, gksudo 'gedit /etc/fstab'
[03:15] <biscon> jordan_: an easy way to install them is using the easyubuntu script.. 2 secs
[03:16] <biscon> jordan_: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=4
[03:16] <biscon> jordan_: sorry wrong link
[03:16] <jrib> ubotu: tell jordan_ about restricted
[03:16] <jordan_> I download  a packet of codecs in format deb, but ubuntu say me an error and it can't open
[03:16] <ketsugi> Woo, I got my Ubuntu discs today
[03:16] <Otacon22> orbin, /media/usbdisk/ don't appear in fstab!
[03:16] <biscon> jordan_: http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
[03:16] <pjfc> has anyone had trouble getting xserver to load with nvidia card and kernel 2.6.15-25-386?
[03:16] <biscon> jordan_: what error and what package?
[03:16] <orbin> Otacon22: what format is the drive in?
[03:17] <jordan_> w32codecs_20050412-0unofficialubuntu3_i386 this package
[03:17] <seanh> Okay, anyone know how I can add a user to the admin group from the command line? startx is not working in rescue mode
[03:17] <pjfc> can get xserver to load if I choose vesa display driver, but not with nvidia
[03:17] <cwillu> Sean adduser <user> admin
[03:17] <cwillu> oops, seanh
[03:17] <jordan_> and ubuntu say me that is not suported
[03:17] <orbin> Otacon22: actually, jsut pastebin the whole file contents: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[03:17] <seanh> cwillu - thanks
[03:18] <Otacon22> orbin, is a fat32, now I copy in noaste and I show you
[03:18] <biscon> jordan_: I think you should try that script I linked you. it will add the appropiate repositores and install all the stuff for you :)
[03:18] <jordan_> http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ this ?
[03:19] <biscon> jordan_: aye got nice and easy to follow instructions
[03:19] <kbrooks> yes jordan_
[03:19] <johlin> gparted can't add free space before my extended partition, that option is greyed out. why?
[03:19] <jordan_> what I have to download ?
[03:19] <kbrooks> biscon: just to be clear: it doesn't add them to your ubuntu ;)
[03:19] <Eddie> HI everyone, just need to check something :)
[03:19] <biscon> jordan_: the script, read the page mate, its all there :)
[03:19] <kbrooks> biscon: you have to tell it to
[03:19] <Eddie> Does writing to an NTFS partition still nuke it to hell?
[03:19] <jordan_> ok thanks :)
[03:19] <jordan_> I try
[03:19] <biscon> kbrooks: doesn't it ask you?
[03:19] <kbrooks> Eddie: it most definitely will
[03:19] <mmilo> hello
[03:19] <Kibou> Eddie: yes
[03:20] <kbrooks> biscon: no. you have to tell it to
[03:20] <Ro1> in dapper drake, how do i make a program..such as Gaim start at startup?
[03:20] <Otacon22> orbin, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16692
[03:20] <jrib> Ro1: system > preferences > sessions > startup
[03:20] <Ro1> thanks
[03:20] <mmilo> i was wondering if anyone could help out a noobie
[03:20] <Eddie> ok, thanks for the heads up guys
[03:20] <jrib> !ask
[03:20] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:20] <sztanpet> what is the package name of the windows fonts?
[03:20] <Speek> Anybody use NDISWRAPPER?
[03:20] <mmilo> :) ok i was wondering how I could set up the codecs I need to play avi files
[03:20] <orbin> Otacon22: can you paste the output of the mount command too pls
[03:20] <jrib> sztanpet: msttcorefonts
[03:21] <sztanpet> jrib thanks
[03:21] <mmilo> I read the win32 howto and it didn't work for me
[03:21] <orbin> Otacon22: just type mount in a terminal
[03:21] <jrib> ubotu: tell mmilo about codecs
[03:21] <Otacon22> there is'nt problems to mount orbin
[03:21] <Eddie> how is the situation with wine or emulators etc
[03:21] <mmilo> I'm using dapper, and I think the howto was written for breezy, not sure if that if that makes any difference
[03:21] <Otacon22> the problem is that ubuntu auto mount in a folder that I don't want it mount
[03:21] <sztanpet> aww msttcorefonts has no instalation candidate
[03:21] <Eddie> Can I run say itunes or windows live messenger? ms office?
[03:21] <orbin> Otacon22: i know. i'm just working out what's the device name for your usb drive
[03:21] <jrib> mmilo: ubotu should have sent you a private message with the current howto's
[03:21] <Eddie> when I was last with linux the answer was a resounding no
[03:21] <jrib> !info msttcorefonts
[03:21] <Api984> i need some help on something
[03:21] <ubotu> msttcorefonts: Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts. In repository multiverse, is optional. Version 1.2ubuntu3 (dapper), package size 22 kB, installed size 164 kB
[03:22] <jrib> sztanpet: you need to have multiverse enabled
[03:22] <sztanpet> ahh, ty
[03:22] <mmilo> jrib: not that I can see
[03:22] <orbin> Eddie: how long ago was that?
[03:22] <Eddie> orbin: Debian Woody
[03:22] <Api984> why must I copy movies from SMB share to my linux pc... why cant i open them directly
[03:22] <Api984> why must I copy movies from SMB share to my linux pc... why cant i open them directly
[03:22] <NBarton> has anybody here installed courier as an mta?

[03:22] <Otacon22> orbin, the drive is in /dev/sdc5
[03:22] <Mez> Seveas: ping
[03:22] <cwillu> Eddie: wine, crossover office, et al are probably what you're looking for, although the free alternatives do a good job (office at least)
[03:22] <Eddie> quite a while ago, just as Woody was released
[03:22] <jrib> mmilo: see what ubotu just said
[03:22] <Seveas> Mez, ?
[03:23] <pjfc> has anypne had problems with kernel 2.6.15-25-386 and an nvidia graphics card?
[03:23] <mmilo> jrib: yep now I see it
[03:23] <Api984> why must I copy movies from SMB share to my linux pc... why cant i open them directly
[03:23] <orbin> Eddie: well, people have run WoW just fine from what i've heard.  so i'm guessing there's been improvements
[03:23] <Blaskowitz> hi all, i can't seem to enable direct rendering with my ati card, i've tried numerous things to get it going but for some reason it refuses to work, could someone help me with this?
[03:23] <cwillu> Eddie: crossover office is _designed_ to run ms office, and as a side effect, runs quite a bit of things as well
[03:23] <jordan_> by
[03:23] <Eddie> thank you guys
[03:23] <Api984> why must I copy movies from SMB share to my linux pc... why cant i open them directly
[03:23] <Mez> Seveas... I'm writing up a "quotes Database" for ubuntu channels/emails etc... just wondered if you'd be interested in adding functionality to ubotu to ADD quotes (not to list - that'd result in way too much spam
[03:23] <Eddie> its good to see the altruistic spirit of freenode is one of those things that never change
[03:23] <orbin> Otacon22: that's the one mounted as /media/usbdisk/?
[03:24] <Otacon22> yes
[03:24] <Seveas> Mez, could be useful
[03:24] <cwillu> Api984: should be able to, I do it
[03:24] <cwillu> Api984: can't access them unless you sudo?
[03:24] <NBarton> I grabbed the courier-authpostgresql package which installe courier-base but I can't find any of the config? am I missing something?
[03:24] <orbin> Otacon22: ok.  type sudo mkdir /media/Lacie
[03:24] <Otacon22> ok
[03:25] <Api984> are u sure
[03:25] <Otacon22> orbin, and now? I have to modify fstab?
[03:25] <cwillu> Api984: ?
[03:25] <NBarton> it doesn't look like I got the whole directory structure....
[03:25] <pjfc> xserver won't load unless I switch to generic video card driver, any sugestions?
[03:25] <cwillu> Api984: I'm asking you if that's what you're doing
[03:25] <jrib> cwillu: /msg ubotu search blah
[03:26] <snoops> cwillu I have that issue too.. eg I places>connect to server .. windows share.. it creates an smb link for me on my desktop.. I go to that, see movies.. right click, media player.. can't play.. vlc/mplayer/totem etc no go.. if I copy the movie to desktop it's fine. If I mount the windows share directly in say fstab then it'll be fine
[03:26] <snoops> Api984 that's the prob right ^ ?
[03:26] <Api984> testing
[03:26] <Api984> testing it from console
[03:27] <taste_enschede> Im am having some problems with setting up a dual screen, anyone experienced with that?
[03:27] <orbin> Otacon22: yep.  add this line like: /dev/sdc5   /media/Lacie   vfat   user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000   0   0
[03:27] <mmilo> jrib: how do i go about installing those files on the restricted list?
[03:27] <cwillu> snoops: Api984:  only way I do it is via fstab
[03:27] <snoops> I'm putting it down to the applications not understanding what smb:// means
[03:27] <jrib> mmilo: can you be more specific?  It varies depending on which particular files you mean
[03:27] <cwillu> the other (smb:// link) is gnome only, and will have limited support for apps
[03:27] <Otacon22> orbin, but I want that all users can read and write
[03:28] <cwillu> Otacon22: 777 for fmask and dmask
[03:28] <Api984> i am logged in as a normal user
[03:28] <Api984> how can I access them imediately
[03:28] <Otacon22> tnx
[03:28] <and__> sdfgsdfggd
[03:28] <mmilo> jrib: well there is a whole bunch, gstreamer, libxine
[03:28] <cwillu> Api984: "sudo mount //server/share /mnt" should do it (read only access)
[03:29] <cryptid> how do i play video files in linux.plz help me.
[03:29] <orbin> Otacon22: yes, that should give you rw.  see the fstab section here if you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[03:29] <Api984> thnx
[03:29] <Otacon22> tnx
[03:29] <neutrinomass> !restricted > cryptid
[03:29] <cwillu> so, is user mounting of smb shares borked though?  i.e., share is in fstab, but mounted on user demand?
[03:29] <biscon> Otacon22: you can also pass the "user" flag to mount directly but I can't remember the syntax.. man mount should probably help (if you don't wanna modify /etc/fstab)
[03:30] <C_REATiVE_> re
[03:30] <cwillu> biscon: Otacon22:  same syntax, but "-o " first
[03:30] <snoops> Api984 I found this guide pretty useful https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[03:30] <mmilo> jrib: nevermind, i found them
[03:30] <mmilo> however i still can't seem to play avi files
[03:30] <Api984> share name is : MassS (E) how can i mount that it has ()
[03:31] <jrib> mmilo: what codecs does the file use? what player are you using?
[03:31] <snoops> I had no problem connecting to smb shares and having the 'link' stay on desktop as a user cwillu (hope that answers your q)
[03:31] <Api984> its not the link
[03:31] <Api984> look at the share name
[03:31] <mmilo> jrib: ive tried both gxine and totem
[03:31] <Otacon22> orbin, biscon, cwillu : all work but already I have to be root for see and write files also if I have put user,fmask=777,dmask=777
[03:31] <Api984> the last (E) in share name
[03:32] <jrib> mmilo: and the codec it needs?  right click > properties > audio video tab, should say if you aren't sure
[03:32] <mmilo> jrib: as for the codecs the files are using, they should be divx as far as i know
[03:32] <Api984> root@api984-laptop:/# sudo mount //Api984/MassS (E) /mnt
[03:32] <Api984> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[03:32] <snoops> you'll need " " around the share Api984
[03:32] <snoops> since it has a space

I'm in CLI now, I've restored my old xorg.conf, and remover /usr/bin/thefuture , but I'm still getting the same results. can someone help me to restore my desktop ?
[03:33] <Blaskowitz> I'm having trouble enabling direct rendering for my ati card, can anyone help?
[03:33] <orbin> Blaskowitz: what card?
[03:34] <biscon> Otacon22: sure you given the user parameter right? should work with user

[03:35] <_Rappy_> what do I need to hear the sound on google-videos? I'm using Ubuntu 5.10 and Firefox
[03:35] <Otacon22> yes orbin
[03:35] <orbin> blacktears: fglrx drive should work for that
[03:35] <Api984> smb works like a web server not as a drive
[03:35] <mmilo> jrib: ok, new development, when i move the file over to my machine it plays fine, but I was trying to playing them remotely from a windows machine previously
[03:35] <orbin> Blaskowitz: ^^
[03:35] <orbin> !ati > Blaskowitz
[03:35] <mmilo> jrib: is this something that can be resolved, using samba perhaps?
[03:35] <jrib> mmilo: oh I see, not sure how to make that work
[03:35] <snoops> _Rappy_ flash..
[03:35] <Inferus> lo all
[03:35] <Inferus>  I have a install of debian, and when I try to do a apt-get install ubuntu-desktop i get this thing saying all these packages need installing/upgrading but it's not going to be done... any ideas please?
[03:35] <cryptid> how do i play MPEG video files in linux
[03:36] <Api984> ok
[03:36] <Api984> i am happy with that
[03:36] <Inferus> cryptid: get w32codecs or automatix
[03:36] <Api984> thank you
[03:36] <Blaskowitz> ok thanks for the link orbin
[03:36] <jrib> cryptid: ubotu should have sent you a private message with the information you need
[03:36] <cwillu> anyone know of a livecd with captivefs installed?
[03:37] <mmilo> ok so does anyone know the answer to my little problem? I'm attempting to play video files from a windows box
[03:37] <orbin> Inferus: it's really best to do a clean install...iirc you may run into problems going from debian
[03:37] <mmilo> they only work if i copy them over to my machine, but not if im streaming them from the other comp
[03:37] <Inferus> I run into more problems running it through the dapper installer orbin :)
[03:37] <snoops> mmilo over network? mount the windows shares in fstab
[03:37] <mmilo> fstab?
[03:37] <_Rappy_> snoops : I do have flash :p If not, I would not be able to see them? :) But nomatter what I do I can't get any sound
[03:38] <koito> hi
[03:38] <Inferus> _Rappy_ are you sure your computer has sound? ;)
[03:38] <mmilo> snoops: what's fstab?
[03:38] <Inferus> !fstab
[03:38] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[03:38] <orbin> _Rappy_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats there's a sound+flash section
[03:38] <koito> there is someone that can help me with the sniffit software?
[03:38] <orbin> Inferus: it's a known issue
[03:39] <Inferus> orbin: dapper is a pain in the ass to install ;/
[03:39] <orbin> s/known/common
[03:39] <Inferus> on my home laptop, it worked perfectly
[03:39] <Inferus> on my work desktop, it was a nightmare
[03:39] <mdeboer> mmilo: use Connect To Server from the Places menu
[03:39] <snoops> mmilo you should be able (if it's a temp mount) to get away with simply "sudo mount //servername/sharename  /media/mountname  smbfs  username=myusername,password=mypassword" <- you can clean username and password out if it's not needed
[03:39] <Inferus> on my work server, nightmare!
[03:39] <_Rappy_> Inferus : yes. Ubuntu plays sound on startup. I am able tp listen to web-radio and mp3's
[03:39] <_Rappy_> orbin : thanks :)
[03:39] <orbin> Inferus: i probably can't help you, but OOC, what goes wrong?
[03:40] <mmilo> okie dokie, cuz i just installed this xffm mount app
[03:40] <snoops> or mmilo you can mount the shares permanently if you follow this guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[03:40] <knight488> how do I load the intel_apg module?
[03:40] <Inferus> orbin, the filesystem section of the installer is rubbish
[03:40] <Jeeves_Moss> all:  has any one here got any experiance with GPSD?
[03:40] <mmilo> sweet thanks
[03:40] <Inferus> then, when i eventually get it installed
[03:40] <Inferus> grub fails
[03:40] <mmilo> lemme try it out
[03:41] <Jeeves_Moss> all:  any one?  GPSD?
[03:41] <burepe2> I have a tv tuner card and everytime i plug it in my comp won't start. Why is that? can I fix it?
[03:41] <orbin> knight488: lsmod or add it to /etc/modules for bootup loading iirc
[03:42] <orbin> Inferus: any errors w/ the grub fail?
[03:42] <orbin> *error numbers
[03:42] <CrazyDoode> your comp won't start or the os won't load?
[03:42] <knight488> orbin thanks
[03:42] <dhan> hello. anybody know how to connect hp photosmart e317? thanks
[03:42] <orbin> knight488: actually should be modprobe, not lsmod
[03:43] <spik> is it possible for me to stay on the bleeding edge with ubuntu?
[03:43] <Jeeves_Moss> orbin:  do you have any ideas on GPSD?
[03:43] <FifaFrazer> How can i make Gaim automatically start and minimize to the gnome tray when ubuntu starts up ?
[03:43] <schmakk> hello.. if i have installed a way old ubuntu from a cd from.. 2004 i think, and want to upgrade to the latest, am i screwed?
[03:43] <spik> or does ubuntu have the same problems as debian
[03:43] <Jeeves_Moss> spik:  what problems are you thinking of?
[03:44] <jrib> schmakk: what does 'lsb_release -c' say?  You aren't screwed, you just have to do a few upgrades
[03:44] <Frogzoo> FifaFrazer: it's there in options - you need a 'notification panel' applet in your toolbar
[03:44] <spik> Jeeves_Moss: it's not always on the bleeding edge, always a few software releases behind
[03:44] <orbin> Jeeves_Moss: no idea what that stands for, sor probably not :)
[03:44] <spik> example would be amarok, 1.3.9 is on repistory, 1.4 is out
[03:44] <Jeeves_Moss> spik:  naaa, they just test the crap out of it.  I've had fewer problems with my Ubuntu servers than the Debian ones I had previous.
[03:44] <schmakk> jrib, i think that will be a problem, since i have a problem with locales atm, and for some reason lsb is invovled
[03:45] <a_l_e> hello... totem 1.4.1 with gstreamer 0.10.6: i can watch some films but i can't get any sound (beep ok, rythmbox ok). which path can i go to debug it?
[03:45] <Frogzoo> spik: ubuntu is debian downstream - so it's even less bleeding edge than debian afaik
[03:45] <meo10> Hi all, I'm having a problem with my laptop.  I've recently had it repaired, and the motherboard was replaced (same model).  Now my dapper install won't recognize my wired ethernet port.  The wireless one works just like it used to, but the wired just isn't showing up when I type ifconfig eth1 (what it used to be).  It is visible when I lspci and there are no dmesg's about it.
[03:45] <mmilo> hmmm
[03:45] <Jeeves_Moss> spik:  I've also found that Ubuntu finds a lot more hardware with less fuss.
[03:45] <mmilo> im not sure how to actually mount this folder
[03:45] <yvan_> hello
[03:45] <jrib> schmakk: yes, it's probably best to resolve that first.  Maybe you can put your errors on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and give everyone here a link to see if anyone can help
[03:45] <yvan_> is there a repository for the wen-kernel?
[03:46] <CrazyDoode> meo10: what type of lappy? and what type of card broadcom?
[03:46] <Frogzoo> a_l_e: installed libxine-extracodecs ?
[03:46] <spik> Jeeves_Moss, how can I get the latest versions then?
[03:46] <jrib> nautilus search seems to ignore hidden folders.  Is there a way for it not to do this?  Or am I wrong?
 Inferus: any errors w/ the grub fail? << usualy 17 or 18
[03:46] <Frogzoo> !fixxine
[03:46] <meo10> CrazyDoode: Acer Ferrari 3200 and yes broadcom
[03:46] <spik> I'm new to apt-get
[03:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about fixxine
[03:46] <a_l_e> Frogzoo: no, does it use xine?
[03:46] <mmilo> i managed to mount the server, but i still cant stream files off of it
[03:46] <schmakk> jrib, ok, gimme a few mins then :)
[03:46] <Jeeves_Moss> jrib:  any ides on my GPSD issue?
[03:46] <mmilo> so im assuming i need to mount the specific folder?
[03:46] <orbin> schmakk: cat /etc/issue is an alternative
[03:46] <Frogzoo> a_l_e: install it, see how you go
[03:46] <Inferus> uh oh meo10!] 
[03:46] <a_l_e> Frogzoo: ok
[03:46] <Myth> :-D http://digg.com/gadgets/Fake_Mailer :-D
[03:46] <CrazyDoode> meo10: easy to fix.. meet me in #ubuntu-laptop
[03:46] <jrib> Jeeves_Moss: no, sorry.  I don't even know what that is
[03:46] <Inferus> acer laptop + weireless is hard
[03:47] <meo10> Inferus: I have the wireless working, its the wired!! :P
[03:47] <orbin> Inferus: that's usually something to do w/ the partitioning iirc, searched the forums for the grub errors? ubuntuforums.org
[03:47] <Jeeves_Moss> jrib:  ok, thanks.  I think I'm going to go to the #debian channel and get laughed @ to ask.
[03:47] <schmakk> orbin, Ubuntu 4.10 "Warty Warthog"
[03:47] <meo10> CrazyDoode: I'm in #ubuntu-laptop
[03:48] <mmilo> when I'm mounting a windows share, how do i specify the exact folder i want to access
[03:48] <snoops> mmilo you mounted it in say /media/mywinshare right.. then went to that folder?
[03:48] <knight488> orbin yeah I did with modprobe, how do you remove it after?
[03:48] <a_l_e> Frogzoo: still no sound (i've restarted totem after installing)
[03:48] <FifaFrazer> Frogzoo I can't find it in the gaim options...
[03:48] <orbin> knight488: same command iric
[03:48] <mmilo> snoops: no i went to places, and clicked connect to server, and then picked windows share from the drop down
[03:48] <meo10> !fwcutter
[03:48] <ubotu> I know nothing about fwcutter
[03:49] <snoops> yeah that won't allow you to stream it it seems mmilo since it uses an smb link rather than a proper mount
[03:50] <mmilo> snoops: aha, so i actually need to type the stuff in the terminal
[03:50] <knight488> orbin yeah I did modprobe, how do I disablea module?
[03:50] <Frogzoo> FifaFrazer: ok - add it to 'sys -> prefs -> sessions -> startup'
[03:50] <a_l_e> "don't know how to handle audio/mpeg," blah blah... any idea?
[03:50] <snoops> oh mmilo well you know windows has all drives shared by default, they're just hidden.. you can for instance get to the c drive of a machine at 192.168.1.100 with mount with mount -t smbfs -o username=usernamehere,passsword=passwordhere //192.168.1.100/C$ /media/myCdrive
[03:50] <Frogzoo> a_l_e: you read the restricted page & installed the codecs?
[03:50] <Frogzoo> !restricted
[03:50] <ubotu> For lots of multimedia issues this page has the useful information you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  see also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - Please use free formats: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[03:51] <orbin> knight488: modprobe -r
[03:51] <a_l_e> Frogzoo: i'm reading it.
[03:51] <Frogzoo> FifaFrazer: actually, if you just leave gaim open when you log off, gaim will startup when youlogin
[03:51] <mmilo> nope i didn't know that snoops but thats pretty good to know
[03:51] <schmakk> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16693
[03:51] <snoops> you'll need to sudo that too mmilo.. and if you want it permanent I recommend you follow that permanently mount windows shares wiki page I pasted to ya above
[03:51] <FifaFrazer> cool
[03:52] <sztanpet> my problem is that i added the multiverse repos to the source list, updated the whole thing but i still have no packages like mplayer or msttcorefonts
[03:52] <knight488> orbin, thnks again
[03:52] <mmilo> yep i read those snoops but they didn't make a whole of sense
[03:52] <jrib> sztanpet: can you put your current sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ please?
[03:52] <mmilo> i've been using linux for a grand total of half an hour so far so i'm still getting to grips with things
[03:52] <sztanpet> jrib sure thing, just a sec
[03:52] <a_l_e> Frogzoo: ok, it seams that i have to install the bad and ugly plugins.
[03:52] <snoops> ah right okay mmilo :)
[03:53] <dg10050> How do I install Alsa in Dapper?
[03:53] <root_> hi any1 here?
[03:53] <snoops> you can leave out the whole -o username=usernamehere,passsword=passwordhere if it doesn't require a password
[03:53] <FJSanchez> Hi everybody
[03:53] <root_> i have a canon i960 printer how can i install it so i can print?
[03:53] <dg10050> Can anyone help me install alsa?
[03:53] <mmilo> snoops: instead of the ip can i use the host name?
[03:53] <Jeeves_Moss> all:  ok, I'm back.  time to figure out how to tell what USB # something is plugged into.  Any one with any ideas?
[03:53] <sztanpet> jrib here it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16694
[03:54] <root_> i have a canon i960 printer how can i install it so i can print?
[03:54] <snoops> should be able to mmilo
[03:54] <mmilo> ill give it a go
[03:54] <snoops> but I always find it safer using static ip's
[03:55] <jrib> sztanpet: you only have dapper-backports multiverse, but you want dapper multiverse.  Just add " multiverse" at the end of all the lines that contain "universe" but don't already have "multiverse"
[03:55] <knight488> anyone using a working ATI card?
[03:55] <root_> me
[03:55] <sztanpet> jrib thanks ill try
[03:55] <Frogzoo> knight488: 9700 here - it's slow, but works
[03:55] <FJSanchez> I have a problem with fonts, when I open applications like Ati Control panel or Eagle I cannot read the text, it appears a lot of squares instead. Can somebody help me?
[03:55] <dg10050> Knight: I do
[03:55] <dg10050> x800
[03:55] <Frogzoo> !fglrx
[03:55] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:55] <a_l_e> root_: what did you already try?
[03:56] <Frogzoo> knight488: which card?
[03:56] <knight488> Frogzoo, dg10050 do you guys notice a kind of lag with the mouse when using high resoluion opengl programs?
[03:56] <sztanpet> jrib thanks again, it works
[03:56] <mmilo> whats the escaped character for a space?
[03:56] <FJSanchez> knight488, I'm using a Mobility radeon 9700
[03:56] <sztanpet> bb
[03:56] <mmilo> is it %20?
[03:56] <knight488> Xpress 200M
[03:56] <a_l_e> Frogzoo: ok, it was the bad and ugly plugins!
[03:56] <Frogzoo> knight488: best the lappie does is 1280x800 so ....
[03:56] <snoops> mmilo just encapsulate it with " "
[03:57] <snoops> if your mount has spaces in the folder names
[03:57] <knight488> Frogzoo hm by high I mean 800x600 or higher
[03:57] <Frogzoo> a_l_e: well, & the libxine-extracodecs ;)
[03:57] <jrib> schmakk: I'm not sure what causes that error, try searching for it on the forums
[03:57] <root_> is there a canon i960 driver 4 linux?
[03:57] <FJSanchez> I have a problem with fonts, when I open applications like Ati Control panel or Eagle I cannot read the text, it appears a lot of squares instead. Can somebody help me?
[03:57] <moein> I'm looking for a fast (about 600Mhz) embedded device. Anybody knows any device ?
[03:57] <Frogzoo> knight488: usb mouse?
[03:57] <knight488> Frogzoo like when I run Enemy Territory at 800x600 theres a slight mouse lag, and if I go any higher it gets worse, can notice it in wine and cedega too when I try to fire up World of Warcraft
[03:57] <Frogzoo> knight488: & stoopid question - what's your cpu/ram?
[03:58] <mmilo> crud, im not in root mode
[03:58] <KuLover> Has anyone tried the new ATI drivers release? Version 8.26.18?
[03:58] <snoops> mmilo had a sudo before it
[03:58] <dg10050> I have the latest
[03:58] <snoops> sudo mount...etc
[03:58] <mmilo> whats a sudo?
[03:58] <snoops> super user do
[03:58] <knight488> Frogzoo yeah ub mouse, but it's the same with touchpad... 64bit AMD 1.8ghz and 1024MB RAM
[03:58] <schmakk> jrib, i tried and found a few pointers, but nothing has worked so far. Tried google and found more stuff there, still no go :/
[03:58] <snoops> it's what ubuntu uses instead of a root account
[03:58] <knight488> usb*
[03:58] <mmilo> cool
[03:58] <mmilo> ok so i think i mounted it
[03:59] <mmilo> or at least the command ran without any error messages
[03:59] <snoops> haha good sign
[03:59] <root_> 4 ati cards go here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[03:59] <mmilo> but i cant see any mounted folders anywhere
[03:59] <KuLover> dg10050 The latest ATi drivers?
[03:59] <snoops> you should be able to find it in places.. if you mounted it in /media/somefolder
[03:59] <snoops> mmilo what mounted folder did you choose?
[03:59] <dg10050> yes
[03:59] <Frogzoo> knight488: 64bit might be the problem - dunno, no problems here (not that I'd really notice a small lag, say < 0.1secs)
[03:59] <FJSanchez> Mmm, I'm trying to use gpsim but it segfault for me if i have a config file in my home dir
[03:59] <mmilo> ok lets say the box has a name of winbox
[04:00] <a_l_e> root_: are you sure that you need a driver for linux? does the ppd for windows work?
[04:00] <FJSanchez> can someone try it?
[04:00] <mmilo> and its entire d drive is shared
[04:00] <KuLover> dg10050 Do you still have problemns with X applications?
[04:00] <knight488> Frogzoo whats your fps when you run glxgears and fgl_glxgears?
[04:00] <dg10050> not really
[04:00] <knight488> Frogzoo I'm using 32bit ubuntu, 64bit was giving too much problems
[04:00] <dg10050> Just got back from america's army
[04:00] <dg10050> it worked fine
[04:00] <mmilo> and inside is the shows/someshow/someseason/anepisode.avi structure
[04:00] <mmilo> how would i go about mounting that?
[04:01] <snoops> well, just mount the someseason folder
[04:01] <snoops> or the entire drive
[04:01] <KuLover> dg10050 Cool! Did you used to have problems? Like random GUI freezes?
[04:01] <Frogzoo> knight488: just realised the meta updates have clobbered my fglrx driver :p - but could get 500fps in fgl_glxgears
[04:01] <mmilo> but whats the syntax for the entire drive?
[04:01] <dg10050> KuLover: No, I just installed Ubuntu and upgraded the drivers. :D
[04:02] <dg10050> I've been using Ubuntu for 2 days
[04:02] <snoops> such as.. sudo mount -t smbfs //winbox/D$ /media/SomeFolderYouCreatedBeforeHand
[04:02] <KuLover> dg10050 Haha.. just now? and your on 8.26.18?
[04:02] <mmilo> ahhhhh, i have to create the folder beforehand
[04:02] <dg10050> If that's the latest
[04:02] <freezey> i need help with my samba for some reason it keeps crappin out on me
[04:02] <snoops> mmilo yep "sudo mkdir /media/somefolder" for instance
[04:03] <KuLover> dg10050 Nicce
[04:03] <snoops> you don't have to mount it to media.. but if you do, it'll show up under places
[04:03] <orbin> have they fixed the suspend issue yet?
[04:03] <dg10050> It can be a little jumpy in America's Army, but not too bad
[04:03] <knight488> Frogzoo do you think 150fps for fgl_glxgears is low for the type of card I have?
[04:03] <knight488> even normal glxgears gives about 900
[04:04] <Frogzoo> knight488: sry, which card?
[04:04] <dg10050> How can you tell the FPS in glxgears?
[04:04] <knight488> Frogzoo, x200M
[04:04] <burepe> I got a small problem. I got a tv tuner card and when I start my comp after plugin it in the comp won't start. The comp is getting power but the bios don't come up. Any suggestions?
[04:04] <snoops> glxgears -printfs dg10050
[04:04] <Frogzoo> knight488: glxinfo |grep direct
[04:04] <snoops> err -printfps  rather
[04:04] <dg10050> k thx
[04:05] <a_l_e> root_: http://www.linuxprinting.org/pipermail/canon-list/2004q2/001530.html
[04:05] <paul__> Is anyone having problems with gnome panel saying that it has unexpectedly quit when you run an application from the run application command line?
[04:05] <knight488> dg10050 glxgears -printfps
[04:05] <elie> it say error objects not found
[04:05] <dg10050> k
[04:05] <Frogzoo> knight488: ^
[04:06] <dg10050> lol, I get like 5,500 fps
[04:06] <mmilo> hmmm
[04:06] <mmilo> my mkdir command made a folder
[04:06] <elie> i have a annoying problem
[04:06] <mmilo> but i cant see it anywhere
[04:07] <snoops> mmilo where did you make it?
[04:07] <Raito> How come ubuntu is there twice on grub?
[04:07] <mmilo> i just put in mdir /media/
[04:07] <knight488> Frogzoo, direct rendering: Yes
[04:07] <knight488> Frogzoo but cedega fails me at the 3d acceleration test about 30% of the time, so I dunno
[04:07] <Inferus> one for recovery Raito?
[04:07] <mmilo> mkdir*
[04:07] <elie> when i login and log off and log in another user and then log off my screen turns off and become black and the sound of logg off freeze like tttt
[04:07] <snoops> media is already there mmilo
[04:07] <snoops> it exists on all dapper installs
[04:07] <Raito> Inferus: two ubuntus and two recoveries and one memtest
[04:07] <mmilo> where?
[04:07] <elie> when i login and log off and log in another user and then log off my screen turns off and become black and the sound of logg off freeze like tttt
[04:08] <orbin> Raito: look at the kernels
[04:08] <mmilo> nevermind i found it

[04:09] <mmilo> how does it work when you load up a removable drive though?
[04:10] <dg10050> erUSUL: I can't find that menu.

[04:11] <erUSUL> !sound
[04:11] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[04:11] <jeeves_Moss> all:  any one have any idea how to figure out that /dev/usb # a device is?
[04:11] <mmilo> ok so now i finally got everything figured out with the directory structure and mounting and sudo and all that
[04:11] <mmilo> so i tried mounting the drive and it said bad fs
[04:11] <dg10050> erUSUL: I can't find that menu!
[04:11] <mmilo> wrong fs type rather
[04:11] <snoops> umm.. try leaving out the -t smbfs mmilo
[04:12] <FJSanchez> How can I list all libraries a apps depend?

[04:12] <freezey> samba was working like 2 days ago now its crapping out on me again... can someone assit me with this?
[04:12] <erUSUL> dg10050: try the web pages too

[04:12] <snoops> just simply "sudo mount //computeronnetwork/sharename /media/folderyoucreated" ?
[04:13] <Frogzoo> knight488: well 200 is not very good, don't know what you can do though - methinks ati's crap drivers strike again
[04:13] <dg10050> thx it worked
[04:13] <dg10050> I need it for games
[04:13] <mmilo> nope still says wrong fs type
[04:13] <Speek> When starting up my Ubuntu it freezes when it configures network interfaces
[04:13] <snoops> what's the exact line you're pasting mmilo?
[04:14] <elie> any1 can help?
[04:14] <knight488> Frogzoo yeah this is my first time messing with an ATI card at all, no idea what could be making the mouse input lag like that? I'd settle for a remote guess at this point, it's pretty annoying
[04:14] <mmilo> "sudo mount nameofhost/nameofdir /media/nameofotherdir
[04:14] <alterr> hello, i'd like to report a bug about bluetooth RFCOMM bind/unbind, where  can i do it ?
[04:14] <dg10050> Yay, mp3's!!!
[04:15] <dg10050> Now that I have alsa set up
[04:15] <snoops> mmilo you must have the //nameofhost/sharedfolder /media/nameofotherdir..
[04:15] <cwillu> how do I add a folder to the places menu again?
[04:15] <mmilo> oops yea sorry i had that already
[04:16] <mmilo> /nameofhost/sharedfolder /media/newfolder

[04:16] <mmilo> yup it i
[04:16] <mmilo> is
[04:16] <knight488> Frogzoo not even a guess?
[04:16] <snoops> could you paste what the exact line where you're getting the error.. copy and paste from terminal
[04:17] <erUSUL> alterr: in the ubuntu bug db in launchpad.com
[04:17] <Frogzoo> knight488: my best guess is that it's ATIs crappy drivers
[04:17] <erUSUL> alterr: in the ubuntu bug db in launchpad.net
[04:17] <elie> any1? when i login and log off and log in another user and then log off my screen turns off and become black and the sound of logg off freeze like tttt
[04:17] <cwillu> custom entries in the places menu?
[04:18] <Speek> Why does ubuntu freeze on startup? :(

[04:18] <mmilo> wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //theHost/theFolder
[04:18] <mmilo> missing codepage or other error
[04:18] <knight488> Frogzoo this is my first laptop, how hard is it to replace the videocard with a nice nvidia card?
[04:18] <snoops> mmilo I need the EXACT line you typed to generate that error, including the machine names and folder names etc
[04:19] <Ng> knight488: laptops almost never have upgradable video cards
[04:19] <mmilo> sudo mount //SAMEER/D /media/sameer
[04:20] <snoops> okay.. missing the $
[04:20] <IKE> how long time does it take to install ?
[04:20] <mmilo> before the D?

[04:20] <dg10050> What are some good free games for linux?
[04:20] <n00b> When NumLock is on, the digits dont come
[04:21] <mmilo> very strange
[04:21] <Frogzoo> knight488: not sure if it's possible - will depend on the lappie I imagine
[04:21] <snoops> okay.. I wonder if you don't have smbfs.. hmm mmilo type "sudo apt-get install smbfs"
[04:21] <n00b> When NumLock is off, the digits are enabled
[04:21] <n00b> Any Solutions

[04:21] <bit_doidao> Hi! Im having troubles with using skype at the same time of listen. can anyone help-me?
[04:22] <mmilo> aha
[04:22] <_absolution_> can I change files using the rox-filer?
[04:22] <snoops> mmilo it'll just be downloading and installing it
[04:22] <mmilo> a different error now
[04:22] <elie> any1? when i login and log off and log in another user and then log off my screen turns off and become black and the sound of logg off freeze like tttt
[04:22] <_absolution_> mainly "fluxbox"
[04:22] <mmilo> tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
[04:22] <elie> any1?
[04:23] <snoops> cool.. the whole D$ needs passwords, since they aren't shared.. well they are shared, but they're hidden
[04:23] <kalosaurusrex> someone mind walking me through troubleshooting sound card...darn thing was working yesterday..
[04:23] <snoops> if you've actually just shared D by rightclicking the drive and sharing it under the name D then you should be able to leave out the $
[04:23] <mmilo> took out the $ and presto it works
[04:23] <cwillu> any ops handy?  I was trying to find info on beagle pm'ing ubotu, and apparently too many searches returning nothing gets me ignored :/
[04:24] <snoops> mmilo fyi not all problems are this hard to solve ;)
[04:24] <mmilo> oh i think this is a good thing
[04:24] <mmilo> i've learnt quite a lot from this little problem
[04:24] <snoops> if you click on 'places' you should see 'your folder name'
[04:24] <mmilo> popped up on the desktop immeadiately
[04:24] <philus> I'm having trouble getting GParted to apply changes.
[04:25] <philus>  Once I tell it what I want done, it says applying operations
[04:25] <dg10050> Does anyone know of some good free games?
[04:25] <mmilo> and it works fine now since all the thumbnails showed up for the video files
[04:25] <philus> But it only formats my unallocated space
[04:25] <philus> It doesn't resize my NTFS partition
[04:25] <dg10050> Get the gparted live cd
[04:25] <mmilo> awesome work *highfive*
[04:25] <philus> dg10050: Do you have a location?
[04:25] <dg10050> It worked for me, when the Ubuntu one didn't
[04:25] <dg10050> google gparted
[04:26] <snoops> mmilo, cool beans dude. I believe when you reboot that drive won't be mounted anymore.. so that wiki I pasted before goes through how to make it permanent
[04:26] <philus> dg10050: Thanks a bunch!
[04:26] <dg10050> http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[04:26] <mmilo> kewl
[04:26] <dg10050> it worked perfectly for me
[04:26] <dg10050> the Ubuntu one is old
[04:26] <mmilo> well i have to be off to bed now cuz ill be totally wiped for work tomorrow
[04:26] <philus> dg10050: Thank you!
[04:27] <mmilo> but thanks so much for your help dude, i'll be hanging around here a fair bit im pretty sure so ill see you around
[04:27] <mmilo> night all
[04:27] <snoops> mmilo drop in now and again.. I'm keen to see how you find it after a bit of use.. oh
[04:27] <amarokker> Hi, is there any way to download hotmail in evolution?
[04:27] <Jack_Sparrow> nite
[04:27] <mmilo> will do :)
[04:27] <snoops> this may help mmilo.. one sec I'll get the link
[04:27] <mmilo> kk
[04:27] <philus> amarokker: I think hotmail has disabled all POP3 without paying for it
[04:27] <dg10050> Does anyone know of a few good games for linux?
[04:27] <snoops> mmilo ubuntu is a little bit different.. but this is helpful to anyone new imo http://www.secguru.com/files/linux_file_structure.jpg
[04:27] <elie_> any1? when i login and log off and log in another user and then log off my screen turns off and become black and the sound of logg off freeze like tttt
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> amarokker: IS that hotmail account pop3?
[04:28] <mmilo> will give it a read thanks
[04:28] <philus> Jack_Sparrow: Aren't most of them?
[04:28] <mmilo> nite again all
[04:28] <mmilo> catch you later
[04:28] <philus> If not all?
[04:28] <amarokker> philus: it neednt be pop3- i think i saw some plugin for kmail- it emulated their servers, downloaded mail to the computer and then got kmail to read the mail from mbox
[04:28] <cai-5> trht
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> philus: No
[04:29] <philus> Alright, my apologies then
[04:29] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[04:29] <Jack_Sparrow> I pay $10 a year for Yahoo premium which allows Pop3
[04:29] <_absolution_> so can I make changes using "Rox-Filer"??
[04:30] <amarokker> althought, i might be over my head- and another source of irritation- i have this adsl-usb modem, which needs to be given a command ('eaglectrl -d') until its status becomes 'operational'-
[04:30] <amarokker> in which case, is it possible to write a startup script which checks the modem status and keep on issuing the command until the modem fires up?
[04:30] <amarokker> Now, I have to do the boring bit manually.
[04:31] <freezey> whats the command to completely remove a program... like take it completely off so i can start it over from scratch
[04:32] <snoops> apt-get remove programname ?
[04:32] <freezey> no
[04:32] <freezey> when u reinstall it
[04:32] <freezey> all the old files that u had on it come back
[04:32] <stefg> apt-get remove --purge
[04:32] <Hexidigital_> freezey:: apt-get remove --purge {package}
[04:32] <Hexidigital_> stefg:: beat me to it
[04:33] <apokryphos> !purge
[04:33] <ubotu> I know nothing about purge
[04:33] <apokryphos> hm
[04:33] <freezey> dam i just did that and i reinstalled samba
[04:33] <freezey> and all the old config files are back
[04:33] <Dawn_> Hello people, I pretty did something pretty stupid, my PC stopped while upgrading to dapper drake, and now the X server mismatches my nvidia videocard thingie, any suggestions?
[04:33] <kalosaurusrex> does purge work with ubuntu-desktop?
[04:33] <apokryphos> no
[04:33] <Mastastealth> o.o
[04:33] <Mastastealth> !es
[04:33] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[04:33] <kalosaurusrex> dawn there is a thing in the forums on that.
[04:33] <apokryphos> kalosaurusrex: as in, it won't do anything special.
[04:34] <kalosaurusrex> apok:  ahh gotcha.
[04:34] <freezey> hexidigital_: i did the purge and then i reinstalled samba and all the old config files are still there
[04:34] <Dawn_> kalosaurusrex, I wish I could go to the forums, but X server videocard mismatch = no X server = no gnome = no browser ;)
[04:34] <kalosaurusrex> ahh hehe yeah that could be a problem..
[04:34] <kalosaurusrex> lynx?
[04:34] <Hexidigital_> freezey:: did you check if the service was running after you purged?
[04:35] <Mastastealth> Dawn_: you dont get a screen anymore?
[04:35] <Dawn_> kalosaurusrex, I'd prefer not to, cause I'm a complete g00n on the command line
[04:35] <freezey> well i stopped the service
[04:35] <freezey> before i purged
[04:35] <kalosaurusrex> lynx is easy though.  promise!
[04:35] <Dawn_> Mastastealth: Well, according to the X log my nvidia driver doesnt match the driver the X server expects
[04:35] <Mastastealth> btw, has anyone been experience some nasty slowdowns on ubuntu's servers? (apt, forums, irc, etc.)
[04:36] <Bassetts> how can i open SVGs?
[04:36] <kalosaurusrex> there is a script you have to run to fix it...lemme see if I can find the url for ya.
[04:36] <freezey> hexidigital_: i stopped the service before i purged... but whats the command to see the processes running
[04:36] <Dawn_> kalosaurusrex, that'd be wonderful, but I doubt irsii can do dcc, so I'll have to wget it
[04:36] <Hexidigital_> freezey:: that's odd...
[04:36] <Mastastealth> oh ok Dawn_, there's an easy fix for that, I had it once, lemme find the instructions on that
[04:36] <jukka> Hi! Is anybody successfully using NetworkManager?
[04:36] <kalosaurusrex> sure that's np
[04:36] <Bassetts> !svg
[04:37] <ubotu> svg is Scalable Vector Graphics, a language used for graphical applications in XML, and a W3 recommendation. SVG Editors: Inkscape, Karbon14
[04:37] <Mastastealth> Dawn_: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Dapper#WHAT_HAPPENS_IF_YOU_CHANGE_YOUR_KERNEL_OR_IF_YOUR_KERNEL_IS_UPDATED
[04:37] <kalosaurusrex> Dawn: this your error:
[04:37] <kalosaurusrex> error: API Mismatch the Nvidia kernel module has the version 1.0-7174 but this X modules has the version 1.0-8756.
[04:37] <Dawn_> kalosaurusrex: exactly ! =)
[04:37] <Hexidigital_> freezey:: i cant find the command... do you have gnome installed?
[04:38] <freezey> yeah
[04:38] <kalosaurusrex> dawn: k hold on I'll get the wget path for you
[04:38] <Dawn_> kalosaurusrex: lovely
[04:38] <kalosaurusrex> dawn: dapper/32?
[04:38] <Hexidigital_> freezey:: system > admin > services
[04:38] <kalosaurusrex> I'm assuming.
[04:38] <kalosaurusrex> 32 bit even.
[04:38] <Dawn_> kalosaurusrex: I dont know if its dapper or breezy now
[04:38] <Dawn_> since it crashed while updating
[04:38] <bit_doidao> Anyone knows how to solve skype "problem with sound" error? i cant use skype and listen at the same time :(
[04:38] <kalosaurusrex> hmm assuming dapper if you did the dapper dist-upgrade
[04:39] <Dawn_> must be smt. like "breezer" or "dappzy" xD
[04:39] <freezey> hexidigital_: you know a better networking utility then samba?
[04:39] <kalosaurusrex> wget http://www.albertomilone.eu/ubuntu/nvidia/scripts/envy_8762_32
[04:39] <kalosaurusrex> then
[04:39] <Hexidigital_> freezey:: sorry, but i have no need to... i disown windows :)
[04:39] <Hexidigital_> freezey:: what about nfs?
[04:39] <kalosaurusrex> mv envy_8762_32 envy_8762_32.sh
[04:39] <kalosaurusrex> chmod 777 envy_8762_32.sh
[04:39] <kalosaurusrex> ./envy_8762_32.sh
[04:40] <Dawn_> ok ill quit irsii to do the commands thanks
[04:40] <Dawn_> brb
[04:40] <kalosaurusrex> may need to run sudo too
[04:40] <freezey> hexidigital_: thats something all in its own
[04:40] <Hexidigital_> freezey:: ah... sorry :(
[04:44] <sonics> can someone tell what the "SH" command actually means?
[04:45] <Ng> sonics: it's a shell
[04:45] <elie_> any1? when i login and log off and log in another user and then log off my screen turns off and become black and the sound of logg off freeze like tttt
[04:45] <Ng> sonics: specifically, the bourne shell. bash is the bourne again shell (pun intended) and is what runs when you run a terminal. sh is usually just used for scripts
[04:45] <sonics> what does the shell actually do when I type  sudo sh program.bin ?
[04:46] <sonics> ah
[04:46] <Dawn_> kalosaurusrex: Thank you very much, it worked =) <3 you ^^
[04:46] <sonics> it tuns scripts
[04:46] <sonics> runs
[04:46] <kalosaurusrex> dawn: great!
[04:47] <Dawn_> keep up the good work, then imma quit irc quick cause im root
[04:48] <CrazyDoode> funny that postfix configuration sometimes fails on loading, then it's ok on the next boot.  funny that.
[04:49] <Hexidigital_> it's real quiet in here today.... odd
[04:49] <arun_> ubotu: upgrade to dapper from breezy

[05:02] <edneymatias> hello all!
[05:02] <jrib> !pt
[05:02] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[05:02] <Inferus> least it got there in the end Hexidigital_ :)
[05:02] <Inferus> lol
[05:02] <jrib> schmakk: sure, what step are you on now?
[05:03] <Hexidigital_> Inferus:: i guess i didnt wait long enough the first time, i did the old MS solution... (Ctrl + Alt + Del)
[05:03] <edneymatias> why my environment variable LANG is set to POSIX? After installing ubuntu it was pretty nice, setted to pt_BR.utf8, but it was changed after installing kubuntu-desktop. indeed the setting is right for the installation user, but it isn't for ldap user. How can i correct this variable?
[05:03] <schmakk> jrib, step 0 i assume, i installed from an old cd from 2004 and have updated whatever packages there was to update
[05:03] <SonicChao_> #mepis
[05:03] <SonicChao_> woops
[05:04] <SonicChao_> sorry
[05:04] <SonicChao_> forgot the /join
[05:04] <jrib> schmakk: ok, first let's find out the current release you have.  What does 'lsb_release -c' return in a terminal?
[05:04] <schmakk> warty
[05:04] <da_putzler> any networking experts in today ???
[05:04] <gavinchappell> da_putzler: not expert, but what's the problem
[05:04] <apokryphos> !anyone
[05:04] <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?
[05:05] <da_putzler> gavin: am trying to share an internet connection using Ubuntu to my wife's XP laptop
[05:05] <Hexidigital_> uh, oh.... i broke it badly
[05:05] <jrib> schmakk: ok the safest thing to do is jump release to release.  If this is a fresh install, are you sure you don't just want to download the dapper .iso?
[05:05] <da_putzler> gavin: have tried Firestarter (didnt work) and need serious help with ip masquerading (unless u know a better way if possible)
[05:05] <schmakk> jrib, im on this box because my normal one died a horrible death and im kinda out of a burner
[05:05] <stefg> da_putzler: so your ubuntu-machine has 2 NICs in it?
[05:06] <gavinchappell> da_putzler: nope, if you're sharing a single connection from one NIC to another, masquerading is what you want
[05:06] <da_putzler> yes, 1 connected to cable modem, and another is the wireless card
[05:06] <kalosaurusrex> da_putzler: honestly you may save yourself time by just getting a switch/hub..
[05:06] <kalosaurusrex> I could be wrong though.
[05:06] <freshmint> hallo wie kann ich nen root login bei der standard ubuntu installation machen
[05:06] <edneymatias> does anynone know why my lang variable is setted to POSIX instead pt_BR.utf8?
[05:06] <freshmint> in der konsole funktioniert su - net
[05:06] <gavinchappell> kalosaurusrex: not a switch, but a router. A switch doesn't have the intelligence for dealing with multiple devices etc
[05:06] <da_putzler> I really really DO NOT wanna get a hub or router... if XP can share internet access then Ubuntu should be able to handle it too
[05:06] <jrib> schmakk: alright, here is the first link for upgrading to hoary.  You are going to go warty -> hoary -> breezy -> dapper.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HoaryUpgradeNotes , ubotu will send you the links for breezy and dapper
[05:06] <jrib> ubotu: tell schmakk about upgrade
[05:06] <freshmint> sry wrong channel
[05:07] <gavinchappell> da_putzler: I know how to do it using two wired NICs, but I've never set up an adhoc (computer to computer) network under Ubuntu :/
[05:07] <SonicChao_> Ok freshmint
[05:07] <SonicChao_> I was just going to call you on it
[05:07] <stefg> da_putzler: maybe this helps http://rob.pectol.com/content/view/3/1/
[05:07] <kalosaurusrex> da_putzler: how come?  from my experience internet sharing is a pain..  you may save yourself lots of time..plus if you get a router w/ dhcp you can, etc. it's way easier.
[05:07] <da_putzler> it's ok, I have the wireless card all setup and working... just need to share the net thru it... how do you do it ???
[05:07] <jrib> schmakk: the procedure will be basically the same for all three except you will change the name in the sources.list, you also have the option of using the gui for dapper
[05:08] <schmakk> jrib, if theres a guide on how to do each release, could you link me those? i'd be well on my way from there
[05:08] <jrib> schmakk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HoaryUpgradeNotes http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades
[05:08] <kalosaurusrex> ahh I see.  that's cool
[05:08] <gavinchappell> da_putzler: there's two steps I think. Number one is to enable IP forwarding (edit /etc/sysctl.conf as root, and uncomment the line with "net/ipv4/ip_forward")
[05:09] <smev9> i cant find the right documentation, that tells me to give me the rights to write on my fat32. Any clues
[05:09] <smev9> ?
[05:09] <da_putzler> and after that ?
[05:09] <schmakk> jrib, thanks, ill be over here, downloading stuff =)
[05:09] <smev9> !mount
[05:09] <ubotu> Disks store lots of data. Partitioning: try gparted or qtparted  - Formatting: see the manpage for mkfs  - Mounting: system -> administration -> disks
[05:09] <jrib> ubotu: tell smev9 about vfat
[05:10] <edneymatias> !locale
[05:10] <ubotu> To set up and configure your locales, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LocaleConf
[05:10] <smev9> !vfat
[05:10] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[05:10] <Assassin5> what's special about the alternate version on 6.06?
[05:10] <gavinchappell> da_putzler: second step is to enable IPTables masquerading, bear with me and I'll find the right syntax, it's been a while
[05:10] <da_putzler> thanks Gavin, much appreciated
[05:10] <QRZ> da_putzler:  The url that stefg gave you provides a script that will do everything for you.  All you have to do is have a working network configuration.
[05:11] <Hexidigital_> i'm install Breezy on my server (to delete all of the crap i had on it)... i'm doing the server install, but i may need a GUI... can anyone suggest a lightweight GUI?
[05:11] <gavinchappell> da_putzler: I think previously I've used this: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -src 10.89.1.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE (where "-src" is the IP range I've assigned to the private LAN, and "-o" is the name of the device connected to the Internet
[05:11] <gavinchappell> then if you set your wife's laptop's gateway to your Ubuntu box, I think that should work
[05:12] <nooseisloose> Hello,  I have managed to ruin my user's groups  Can someone, perhaps someone with a fresh Dapper Install please show me the output of 'groups' as their user?
[05:12] <da_putzler> gateway on wifeys laptop is always 192.168.0.1 (cause that's how XP is setup atm)
[05:12] <smev9> thanks jrib, i try that out
[05:12] <da_putzler> thx gavin... will give it a go...
[05:12] <gavinchappell> nooseisloose: adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin
[05:13] <gavinchappell> nooseisloose: plus one named after my user account as the primary group
[05:13] <nooseisloose> gavinchappell: thank you very much
[05:16] <lens> Does anyone know of any artificial intelligence software for Linux... something I could interact with?  or where to look?
[05:16] <johlin> should I user reiserFS instead of ext3 on my root and home partition?
[05:17] <neutrinomass> johlin: Not really ...
[05:18] <jhenn> can someone help me get my sound working?
[05:18] <neutrinomass> johlin: It's a matter of preference. Most of the times it makes no difference.
[05:18] <da_putzler> has the NTFS read/writing gotten to a safe stage yet ???
[05:18] <johlin> then I'
[05:18] <johlin> oops
[05:18] <kalosaurusrex> !ntfs
[05:18] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[05:18] <johlin> then I'll go with ext3 as I can read those from windows
[05:19] <gavinchappell> da_putzler: I believe there's a project called "Captive NTFS" which uses the ntfs driver from Windows and some Wine trickery in order to provide read/write access safely
[05:19] <elie_> how 2 do that: AMD64 users: It may also be necessary to update /etc/profile if using GDM. Update the $LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH variable to point to the dri path above.
[05:19] <p_masho> is there a "command line" administrator for ubuntu,... so I can create users over ssh ?
[05:19] <maquaro> Can someone tell me where the file is that contains "service_name = ntpdate"
[05:19] <elie_> any1?
[05:19] <skavenge> 'adduser'
[05:20] <gavinchappell> p_masho: you can use the "adduser" command
[05:20] <MarcN> p_masho: everything can be done via ssh
[05:20] <dg10050> What's the Linux equivalent of ctrl+alt+delete?
[05:20] <da_putzler> silly question... to use Wine, do you need an XP setup already on your system ??
[05:20] <dg10050> no
[05:20] <MarcN> dg10050: ctrl-alt-delete
[05:20] <p_masho> is there an equivelant of "yast" on suse ?
[05:20] <dg10050> ...
[05:20] <neutrinomass> dg10050: ctrl+alt+delete to restart your computer, ctrl+alt+backspace to restart your X server
[05:20] <gavinchappell> p_masho: synaptic will provide package management and software updates
[05:21] <kalosaurusrex> yast works okay on suse..what are you trying to do?
[05:21] <p_masho> gavinchappell: synaptic dont work over ssh
[05:21] <MarcN> p_masho: there are a bunch of individual tools for system admin functions
[05:21] <neutrinomass> kalosaurusrex: I think he was asking if there's an equivalent of SuiSE's yast ..
[05:21] <dg10050> Is there a way to open "System Monitor" with a keyboard shortcut?
[05:21] <gavinchappell> p_masho: aptitude
[05:21] <MarcN> p_masho: Use apt-get/apt-cache or aptitude for the command line.
[05:21] <gavinchappell> dg10050: automatix can make that happen, I don't know how
[05:22] <Hexidigital_> !automatix
[05:22] <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.
[05:22] <Hexidigital_> may break some systems
[05:22] <skavenge> dg10050 ; yes, i'd google for it i've seen it many times before
[05:22] <dg10050> oh, nvm
[05:22] <MENDIGO> alguem me ajuda
[05:22] <p_masho> ok thanks folks
[05:22] <kalosaurusrex> oh
[05:22] <kalosaurusrex> ick
[05:22] <LoneShadow> if I have managed to corrupt gcc/g++ or libc, what is the best way to fix this problem ? I get some vague warnings and errors, something of the sort "g++ killed itself due to internal errors"
[05:22] <kalosaurusrex> yast is gross.
[05:23] <neutrinomass> LoneShadow: "sudo aptitude reinstall build-essential" ?
[05:23] <da_putzler> is the Ubuntu Firewall already enabled and working after an install ???
[05:23] <Inferus> da_putzler linux has a built-in firewall
[05:23] <gavinchappell> da_putzler: no, it is not enabled because Ubuntu doesn't include any listening services by default (IIRC)
[05:23] <gavinchappell> although it is provided, it's not configured
[05:23] <da_putzler> oh, so does that mean my ubuntu setup is unprotected ??
[05:24] <gavinchappell> yes, it does
[05:24] <LoneShadow> neutrinomass: will that reinstall all the libraries as well ?
[05:24] <da_putzler> damn... do I have to set it up manually in order to stop progs phoning home and ppl getting in ?
[05:24] <Ng> da_putzler: by default there is nothing running that can be access from outside anyway, so there is no need for a firewall
[05:24] <gavinchappell> da_putzler: you can use something like firestartr
[05:24] <gavinchappell> firestarter*
[05:24] <neutrinomass> LoneShadow: Well no, you'll have to reinstall those by hand.
[05:24] <fourat> openOffice wont detect my CUPS printer
[05:24] <Inferus> da_putzler, provided your password is not weak, you're ok
[05:24] <Inferus> :)
[05:25] <fourat> what's the problem ?
[05:25] <kalosaurusrex> firestarter rules
[05:25] <da_putzler> kewl, just checking...  after using XP, hackers and spyware scares the hell outta me
[05:25] <gavinchappell> fourat: have you actually configured it so you can print from other apps? :)
[05:25] <kalosaurusrex> fourat, what type of printer?
[05:25] <kalosaurusrex> brand/model?
[05:25] <Chetic> how do you find out the version of something you CAN apt-get without apt-getting it?
[05:25] <gavinchappell> Chetic: aptitude show packagename
[05:25] <gavinchappell> (or apt-cache show packagename IIRC)
[05:26] <_absolution_> is fluxspace any good??
[05:26] <Inferus> da_putzler, not really that common, unless you had a direct connection to the internet, and were full of viruses
[05:26] <gavinchappell> that will give you the version of the Ubuntu package, which usually contains the release number of the program in it
[05:26] <kalosaurusrex> ahhh that's how you do it with apt-cache..
[05:26] <Chetic> wow ok thanks gavinchappell
[05:26] <fourat> gavinchappell, i've installed the printer in CUPS (http interface) and successfully printed a test page, what should i do to get it on other apps
[05:26] <_absolution_> and can I get it using "apt-get"?
[05:26] <Inferus> apt-get install _absolution_ :)
[05:26] <kalosaurusrex> fourat: brand/model of printer.
[05:26] <fourat> kalosaurusrex, Lexamark E232 laserjet on usb
[05:26] <jojopaderes> test
[05:26] <da_putzler> inferus: sint my cable modem a direct connection to the internet ?
[05:26] <gavinchappell> fourat: I didn't have to do anything, all the printers that show up in my gnome CUPS admin thing are also available in OO.o, sorry
[05:27] <Inferus> yes
[05:27] <da_putzler> so that's bad ?
[05:27] <Inferus> if its plugged straight into your pc, it's quite insecure
[05:27] <Chetic> Can I install sarge packages in Ubuntu?
[05:27] <kalosaurusrex> fourat: ahh. you can check the cups error_log and see if open office is getting to the spooler.. can you print from like gedit or something?
[05:27] <_absolution_> that didn't work
[05:27] <_absolution_> couldn't find the package
[05:27] <da_putzler> it's connected into my lan card, yes...
[05:27] <maquaro> maquaro: hello
[05:27] <Inferus> yea
[05:27] <kalosaurusrex> sudo tail -f /var/log/cups/error_log
[05:27] <Inferus> thats quite an insecure set up
[05:27] <da_putzler> so what do I do to protect it from hackers /
[05:27] <da_putzler> run firestarter ?
[05:28] <Inferus> preferably get a hardware firewall
[05:28] <Hexidigital_> or disconnect it from the 'net
[05:28] <Inferus> with NAT/port filtering
[05:28] <Inferus> yeah ^ lol
[05:28] <Hexidigital_> :)
[05:28] <Inferus> heh heh
[05:28] <gavinchappell> "iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT; iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m state --state NEW -j DROP" ;)
[05:28] <da_putzler> so just by running firestarter it'll be protected ok ? no need to setup anything else
[05:28] <Inferus> erm
[05:28] <Inferus> never seen firestarter in my life
[05:28] <kalosaurusrex> firestarter does a good job.
[05:28] <maquaro> fourat: for open office to see the printer, you have to load / import the appropriate .PPD file in the OOo print manager utility and set the correct lpr command.
[05:29] <kalosaurusrex> it's pretty awesome.
[05:29] <Inferus> but, a poorly configured windows box is safer than a poorly configured linux box :)
[05:29] <Inferus> least it has a firewall set up by default >_<
[05:29] <gavinchappell> it's pretty awesome, until you want to remove it, I couldn't get it off my Breezy installation :)
[05:29] <da_putzler> damn... your kinda turning me off using Ubuntu... am scared incase I leave a hole for hackers
[05:29] <Inferus> lol
[05:29] <limpkin> hello everyone
[05:29] <Inferus> what do you have to hide anyway? ;)
[05:30] <da_putzler> nothing really... just dont want ppl getting access to my pc and files it contains
[05:30] <kalosaurusrex> da: he means that ubuntu is far far safer than a fully configured windows xp box running firewall, spyware apps, etc.
[05:30] <kalosaurusrex> as IS.
[05:30] <Ng> da_putzler: as I said, by default there is nothing that's remotely accessible, so unless you have installed some server programs, a firewall is unnecessary, but you can put one on if it makes you feel safer
[05:30] <Inferus> you have more chance of losing whats on your computer to a virus than to a hacker
[05:30] <kalosaurusrex> Ng: *nod*
[05:30] <Inferus> so using linux is good, as there are very few viruses for it :)
[05:31] <da_putzler> is their a good virus program for Linux ???
[05:31] <Kibou> ..
[05:31] <kalosaurusrex> clamav is good.
[05:31] <kalosaurusrex> but really you don't have to worry about it.
[05:31] <gavinchappell> clamav is a good on demand scanner I think, but there isn't anything which monitors your system constantly like they do on Windows
[05:31] <gavinchappell> (not to my knowledge, anyway)
[05:32] <Chetic> I want to be able to compile the source to all sorts of apps and things... Do I just apt-get gcc or what? (besides the dependencies the configure script complains about)
[05:32] <Inferus> yer
[05:32] <da_putzler> kewl....
[05:32] <Inferus> because of the way sudo/root works
[05:32] <gavinchappell> Chetic: build-essential is the package you want
[05:32] <da_putzler> well, thanks peeps... help was much appreciated :D
[05:32] <Ng> Chetic: install the build-essential package and that pulls in most of the things you need to compile stuff
[05:32] <Inferus> it is very hard for things to install themselves da_putzler
[05:32] <kalosaurusrex> either way you'd have to try very hard to get a virus.
[05:32] <Inferus> they need a password
[05:32] <Chetic> oh! thank you gavinchappell and Ng!
[05:33] <limpkin> i just wanted to know how to find hozizsync and vertrefresh :(
[05:33] <someothernick> anyone know a good xbox .iso extractor?
[05:33] <limpkin> becuz i can't have a 60hz refresh
[05:33] <gavinchappell> limpkin: they'll be in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file I think, I dunno if there's an automatic way of configuring it as I use a TFT so I use 60hz
[05:34] <limpkin> yep, but i can't find what to put in horizsync to have 60hz instead of 75
[05:34] <xophEr> limpkin, they should be in the specs of your monitor
[05:34] <Ng> limpkin: you need to know the details for your monitor. if you don't have the manual google may be able to find it for you :)
[05:34] <limpkin> ok, i have to try :)
[05:35] <kalosaurusrex> grr anyone know where the checkinstall deps are?
[05:35] <LBM> Hello!
[05:35] <Ng> kalosaurusrex: as in the packages it depends on?
[05:36] <Ng> kalosaurusrex: if so, universe and main
[05:36] <Hobbsee> kalosaurusrex: deps or debs?
[05:36] <kalosaurusrex> thought so too but it's not finding it..
[05:36] <kalosaurusrex> debs sorry
[05:36] <limpkin> does someone have a great website to find this kind of info?
[05:36] <limpkin> becuz my screen is not really spread
[05:36] <Ng> kalosaurusrex: in universe
[05:36] <Ng> !repos > kalosaurusrex
[05:36] <kalosaurusrex> kk
[05:37] <Hexidigital_> on a server install, are there any prereqs for blackbox? (and do they install automagically?)
[05:38] <gavinchappell> Hexidigital_: it should install everything automatically through apt, I believe
[05:38] <snoops> you'll find out when you apt-get it I guess Hexidigital_
[05:38] <Hexidigital_> snoops:: thanks for the concise info
[05:38] <kalosaurusrex> rofl
[05:39] <snoops> ;)
[05:39] <Hexidigital_> gavinchappell:: you were correct...
[05:39] <Hexidigital_> i guess snoops was too :)
[05:39] <J-_> should my swap partition be full? haha
[05:39] <snoops> how big is your swap?
[05:39] <Ng> J-_: if you've used all your swap, yes
[05:40] <Ro1> when i use firefox or any browser it is so slow to lookup a website...such as google.com...but if i just put in 64.233.167.99 it is very quick..how can i fix this?
[05:40] <J-_> 729mb
[05:40] <kalosaurusrex> Ro: it's kinda a process.
[05:40] <Ng> !ipv6 > Ro1
[05:40] <Ro1> ok thanks
[05:40] <jmoncayo> hey is there any program for linux like motorola middlets manager so i can install java programs, games, etc to my cell phone?
[05:40] <kbrooks> ng:
[05:41] <stefg> Ro1: might it be that your ISP's DNS-server is overloaded? Maybe try to use a different one
[05:41] <kbrooks> ng: /msg ubotu tell user about thing
[05:41] <kbrosnan> Ro1, type about:config in the address bar in hte filter type ipv6 double click to set to false
[05:41] <Ng> kbrooks: so the new shorter syntax was introduced so I can't use it to help people quicker? ;)
[05:42] <kbrooks> um
[05:42] <J-_> is the swap partition suppose to be full, what's teh purpose of the partition?
[05:42] <kbrooks> !ubotu > me
[05:42] <kbrooks> ng: nice, i guess
[05:42] <cntb> hi , second day with ubuntu
[05:42] <Hexidigital_> when i try to start blackbox, i get "failed to open display"... any ideas?
[05:43] <snoops> to be used if all ram is in use J-_
[05:43] <cntb> surprised to know there is no root  user inn my install
[05:43] <Hexidigital_> !root
[05:43] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:43] <gavinchappell> there is a root user, but using it is discouraged in Ubuntu
[05:43] <snoops> there is where you learn about sudo cntb :)
[05:43] <J-_> if i can, should i make a bigger partition?
[05:43] <Ro1> on wiki for ubuntu...it says to "comment out this line xxxxxxx" does that mean delete xxxxxx from the file i'm working with?
[05:43] <cntb> Isudoed several times
[05:44] <cntb> sudoed for 2 months lately on FC5
[05:44] <gavinchappell> no Ro1, just comment it, normally this is done by putting a # in front of the line
[05:44] <jmoncayo> anyone here can help me or have done it manually?
[05:44] <Ro1> ok
[05:44] <gavinchappell> that way, if you need to undo it, it's easier :)
[05:44] <snoops> J-_ I believe rule of thumb is twice the size of you ram.. but after like a gig swap people tend not to worry
[05:44] <cntb> snoops: ru on the project for a long time?
[05:45] <snoops> <- just a user
[05:45] <cntb> ah
[05:45] <cntb> so su- does not work tyo my surprise
[05:45] <gavinchappell> i don't see the point in increasing swap with RAM really, it just doesn't make sense
[05:45] <lens> I keep getting this error in wine: run-detectors: unable to find an interpreter for ./protegee.exe
[05:45] <J-_> meh i don't know, all i know is my system is slow as hell :S might have to restart
[05:45] <Assassin5> whats the default password after ubuntu server has installed. It didn't ask during the install process?????
[05:45] <lens> does anyone know what's wrong?
[05:46] <gavinchappell> I already have 1.25Gb RAM, I should need less swap, not more :)
[05:46] <Hexidigital_> heh.. i just learned something... never "sudo apt-cache search x"
[05:46] <cntb> so i have fro example a mount to an ntfs partition but no permissions
[05:46] <Ng> gavinchappell: the kernel is tuned to assume twice as much swap as RAM, but once you get into gigs of ram it's less important. some swap at least is still very useful to have though
[05:46] <snoops> I'm yet to use any swap with 2gig of ram gavinchappell
[05:46] <stefg> this rule of thumb became obsolete  a while ago... the only reason to have more than, say 256MB swap for transient loads is that you run a tmpfs on /tmp and need lots of space there
[05:46] <Ng> Hexidigital_: you don't need to use sudo with apt-cache
[05:46] <gavinchappell> yeah, I have a swap partition, but it's only just above the size of my RAM (1.3Gb I think)
[05:46] <J-_> i only have 216mb of ram
[05:46] <gavinchappell> although this is a laptop, isn't swap used for hibernation too? or am I confused?
[05:46] <Ng> gavinchappell: yes
[05:47] <Ng> so you'd need at least as much swap as ram if you want to hibernate
[05:47] <cntb> terminal of updater is in very small font
[05:47] <salah> where is the cdrom device located?
[05:47] <ardchoille> I always use 1Gb of ram no matter how much ram I have.. I have a 200Gb hd and I never use more than 50% of it, so I can get away with 1Gb ram.
[05:47] <Ng> salah: usually /dev/cdrom
[05:47] <ardchoille> oops, I meant 1Gb swap
[05:47] <cntb> also after install changed all font from 10 -> 12
[05:47] <cntb> sorry bad defaults
[05:47] <gavinchappell> yeah, I thought so, that's partly why I planned it like that (had 256mb RAM at the time so made a massive swap partition to help with the small RAM problem, and also large enough to accomodate an upgrade)
[05:47] <snoops> cntb "sudo - super user do".. then you're prompted to enter the password.. and ubuntu will remember it for 15 mins in that window.. if you want to just have one terminal in root, you can sudo -i then enter password to basically login as root for that terminal
[05:47] <stefg> Oh, yes hibernation... forgot that in my desktop-centric thinking
[05:48] <Assassin5> anyone know the default root password on the server version of 6.06?
[05:48] <Reimu> How do you edit grub? For some reason I have ubuntu on grub 4 times, ubuntu kernel , ubuntu kernel rcovery, ubuntu kernel, ubuntu kernel recovery, memtest and windows. What do I do to get rid of the second set of ubuntu's?
[05:48] <gavinchappell> hehe stefg, I haven't done my work desktop yet. Too much stuff on NTFS partitions at the moment, and nowhere to back it up to
[05:48] <p_masho> I've added a "network" share to the places in nautilus.. however this does not appear int eh Fileopen dialog etc.. what me doing wrong ?
[05:48] <gavinchappell> laptop was quite easy though, everything just works! :)
[05:48] <p_masho> its a windows share
[05:48] <Ng> Reimu: you can either edit /boot/grub/menu.lst (be careful!) or remove the older kernel packages
[05:49] <cntb> ok sudo is for 15 min interesting solution to dilemma M$ always had
[05:49] <salah> Ng, ok, how do I ls it?
[05:49] <Reimu> Ng: they are both the exact same kernel #, I checked
[05:49] <Ng> salah: to show the contents of the cdrom? if it's mounted it'd probably be "ls /media/cdrom"
[05:49] <cntb> all windows XP around ythe world are too open to let ppl install what they need hating to deal with passwords
[05:49] <salah> Ng, thanks
[05:49] <snoops> cntb just wait for vista.. you'll be in a sandbox having to enter your password all the time then too
[05:50] <dg10050> :D
[05:50] <gavinchappell> I didn't have to enter a password at all in Vista
[05:50] <cntb> linux stays convinced for a good reason password must exist and permissions restricted on every system
[05:50] <gavinchappell> but there's so many confirmation dialogs I often forgot what I was doing in the first palce...
[05:50] <snoops> what do you reckon of beta 2 dg10050?
[05:50] <dg10050> It's pretty nice
[05:50] <dg10050> My comp runs the x64 version well
[05:51] <lens> what do I need to set to open win/dos exe files in wine?
[05:51] <kalosaurusrex> lens: sudo apt-get install wine
[05:52] <cntb> dg10050:  you have full featured vista ?
[05:52] <lens> kalosaurusrex: I did that, and put the exe file in drive: c and it still wont work and it's asking me what to open it with?
[05:52] <dg10050> yes
[05:52] <p_masho> anyone ?
[05:52] <dg10050> Ultimate vesion
[05:52] <kalosaurusrex> what about just wine <path to filename>
[05:52] <Ng> guys, talk about vista is off-topic, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:52] <dg10050> Or just double click the.exe
[05:52] <snoops> dg10050 I think he assumes you mean the 'final' release version.. not the beta 2 ultimate edition
[05:52] <ardchoille> how about taking the wine stuff to #wine?
[05:52] <dg10050> oh
[05:52] <nox-Hand> What is the Ubuntu equivilant of rc.conf? I need to find out some of my net settings..
[05:53] <lens> kalosaurusrex, ok, I don't think I tried that... dj10050, that didn't work.
[05:53] <dg10050> I have beta 2
[05:53] <net> i need help!
[05:53] <Ng> ardchoille: wine is part of ubuntu and he's asking a specific question about integrating the two. that is on-topic afaics
[05:53] <dg10050> lens: oh
[05:53] <kalosaurusrex> !help
[05:53] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[05:53] <rpedro> lens: run winecfg , and configure the drives so wine can locate the exe file
[05:53] <birke> Hi Folks,
[05:53] <ardchoille> Ng: does it ship with ubuntu? Also, the best place to get answers about wine is #wine isn't it?
[05:53] <Ng> net: describe the problem and we'll see what we can do :)
[05:54] <enursha> wher is the modprobe.conf file located, i cant find one anywhere.
[05:54] <birke> I can't do charts in gnumeric anymore ... anyone knows about this problem?
[05:54] <ardchoille> just a thought
[05:54] <Ng> ardchoille: it's in universe
[05:54] <kalosaurusrex> oh yeah winecfg. forgot about that.
[05:54] <gavinchappell> ardchoille: it doesn't ship, but it's in the repositories
[05:54] <nox-Hand> !rc.conf
[05:54] <ubotu> I know nothing about rc.conf
[05:54] <lens> rpedro, cool thanks!
[05:54] <nox-Hand> !ubotu
[05:54] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[05:54] <ardchoille> ok, I"ll just put wine users on my iggy list :)
[05:54] <Ng> enursha: most likely it's /etc/modprobe.d/ now
[05:54] <kalosaurusrex> has anyone used checkinstall to install hplip?
[05:55] <stefg> nox-Hand: do you have a special reason to not use the gui-tool? (BTW /etc/network/interfaces might be interesting for you)
[05:55] <Ng> kalosaurusrex: hplip is available in the repositories
[05:55] <kalosaurusrex> ard: any reason we can't try and help someone with a wine problem?>
[05:55] <rpedro> ardchoille: #winehq
[05:55] <kalosaurusrex> yeah 0.9.7
[05:55] <Reimu> is it possible to install konqueror on ubuntu or xubuntu?
[05:55] <net> Ng: 5 min ago i try install skype, it dovnloads to aproximetly 50 %, my computer crashes?! and reboot, new mozilla do not schow text
[05:55] <ardchoille> rpedro: oh, yes, thank you. I stand corrected :)
[05:56] <enursha> Ng, nope, just checked, i'm having to add ndiswraper evreytime i boot.
[05:56] <nox-Hand> stefg, I just wish to view my settings in an easy manner, as I am setting up Arch Linux for on another drive, and I need to know my net-settings..
[05:56] <gavinchappell> Reimu: yes, try aptitude install konqueror
[05:56] <kalosaurusrex> I need to test checkinstall with the latest. trying to make a stabled deb package.
[05:56] <kalosaurusrex> stable
[05:56] <snoops> yes Reimu.. be aware all the kde libs required for konqueror to run will also be installed
[05:56] <Ng> enursha: if you want to force specific kernel modules to load you can list them in /etc/modules
[05:56] <net> Ng: ...now Mozilla...
[05:56] <Reimu> gavinchappell: Does it require a million dependancies?
[05:56] <stefg> nox-Hand: so a simple ifconfig will tell you
[05:56] <nox-Hand> =)
[05:56] <Ng> net: hmm. perhaps check the mozilla config and pick a different font?
[05:56] <gavinchappell> Reimu: I have no idea, it'll tell you what deps it needs before you confirm the installation
[05:57] <net> Ng: on menu no text too...
[05:57] <Reimu> snoops: will doing so slow down your comp? or just take up space?
[05:57] <jos> takes up space
[05:57] <enursha> cool, cheers
[05:57] <snoops> I haven't noticed any reduction in speed..more space taken up of course
[05:57] <enursha> Ng, cool, cheers
[05:57] <Ng> net: erk. perhaps try creating a new mozilla profile? (possibly -P)
[05:57] <net> Ng: just some stripes and some icons...
[05:57] <daschu> when i go to the adept updater, the only thing that is available is an update for kdm (X display manager for KDE)... but it says that it is broken... can i remove it to reinstall or is there a way to fix it?

[05:59] <jbaloul> hello, is there anyway I can install LAMP after I have a base server installed already?
[05:59] <stefg> !lamp
[05:59] <ubotu> lamp is a shortcut for Linux-Apache-Mysql-{PHP,Perl,Python}. To setup a LAMP server on Ubuntu, install the packages libapache2-mod-php5, php5-mysql, and mysql-server-5.0. You can also choose 'install a LAMP server' from the server install cd boot menu. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP

[06:07] <mzuverink> I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this discussion, I am running dapper and am a bit of a noob.  I have been getting a ton of attempts to log into my system and am wondering if someone could point me to a good howto to deal with securing my system.
[06:08] <Ng> net: yeah, if you run it from a terminal with --help it should show an option you can add to get the profile manager. run it with that from the terminal and create a new profile with it
[06:08] <RaeDr> iPod is solved, thanks

[06:10] <rpedro> mzuverink: sudo apt-get install fail2ban
[06:10] <rpedro> mzuverink: it's a start
[06:10] <stefg> _Arvydas_: how did you install? Desktop or 'alternate'-CD?
[06:10] <Ng> net: ah. hmm, perhaps try reinstalling mozilla then, but I'm running out of ideas :/
[06:10] <Ro1> how do i change my dns server?
[06:10] <_Arvydas_> I downloaded a .iso image and booted from that cd
[06:10] <RaeDr> Is there a difference in the end system when installing with the Desktop or Alternate CD?
[06:10] <mzuverink> rpedro, what does that do?
[06:10] <_Arvydas_> Desktop one
[06:11] <rpedro> mzuverink: it bans IPs with multiple failed login attempts
[06:11] <net> Ng: can to reinstall?
[06:11] <Ro1> how do i change my dns server?
[06:11] <Ro1> !dns
[06:11] <ubotu> I know nothing about dns
[06:11] <mzuverink> rpedro, sorry to have asked that, I have fingers and my own copy of synaptic
[06:11] <net> Ng: how to reinstall?
[06:11] <Frogzoo> Ro1: ru on dhcp?
[06:11] <net> Ng: (ups)
[06:11] <Ng> net: synaptic ought to be able to do it for you
[06:11] <stefg> Ro1: google for 'DNS-server' followed by your countries name... find out which IP a public DNS server near you has
[06:11] <Ro1> frogzoo: yes
[06:11] <Ng> net: search for the mozilla package and right click on it

[06:13] <franormo> hy
[06:13] <franormo> im spanish
[06:13] <Frogzoo> mnvl: apparently this isnt such a great idea - sometimes package install scripts need some manual assistance
[06:13] <RaeDr> Hey
[06:13] <stefg> _Arvydas_: the desktop install has several issues to solve yet... If you've just installed, i guess it's better to start over using an 'aletrnate'-CD
[06:14] <_Arvydas_> okay thanks for help
[06:14] <stefg> _Arvydas_: you run sata on a soft-raid-controller like the promise ones?
[06:14] <linux_user400354> what is a thin client?
[06:15] <mnvl> Frogzoo, i am supposed to do this manually every time. when i am only updating packages i have never heard of or used, because the toolbar icon tells me to?
[06:15] <jos> kind of terminal
[06:15] <_Arvydas_> stefg: i'm really sorry but I'm just a starter...I don't know what is a sata and a soft-raid controller
[06:15] <gavinchappell> linux_user400354: a thin client is a simple terminal which just shows you the display of a remote computer. so you're running the applications on another computer, and just seeing the output
[06:15] <franormo> sois todos unos gachones mu grandes
[06:15] <gavinchappell> so you could use a very slow old computer as a thin client, and run all your applications on a faster one somewhere else

[06:18] <_absolution_> that's what I need help with too
[06:18] <DBO> datix, linux will try to use all your RAM in cache, otherwise it just goes to waste
[06:18] <pdlnhrd> kalosaurusrex: it isn't the printer so much.. as the gui won't let me use the ppd file i have
[06:18] <_absolution_> getting my printer to work
[06:18] <gavinchappell> _eks_: depends on how you set it up. SSH = encrypted. Plain X = plaintext. X through SSH tunnel = encrypted
[06:18] <pdlnhrd> kalosaurusrex: it is a Xerox Docucenter 440st btw
[06:18] <gavinchappell> depends on your setup
[06:18] <datix> DBO: that makes sense.
[06:18] <_Arvydas_> .stefg: in hardware administrator I can read at hard disk device: IDE ATA/ATAPI drivers
[06:18] <kalosaurusrex> if it's an HP printer come to #hplip
[06:19] <xpider> .part
[06:19] <stefg> Oh, good...
[06:19] <Amaranth> DBO: Windows probably does too, we just don't know for sure. :P
[06:19] <DBO> Amaranth, yeah, but if it does it doesnt really report it
[06:19] <franormo> heyyyyy spanish??
[06:19] <kalosaurusrex> pdlnhrd: ahh sorry.  I only support HP printers. :/ don't know much about other brands.
[06:19] <cwillu> anybody know if there's any known issues with running two network cards in dapper?
[06:19] <stefg> _Arvydas_: Can you boot the Ubuntu-Live CD and connect to the chat from there?
[06:19] <_Arvydas_> stefg: and into it, i see primary IDE channel, secondary IDE channel and SiS PCI IDE drivers
[06:19] <cwillu> every reboot, the second card is flipping between eth1 and eth2, and that breaks too many things to be acceptable
[06:19] <_absolution_> I'm trying to untar a bz2 file
[06:19] <Hexidigital_> Hobbsee:: peduar@83.230.234.146
[06:20] <_absolution_> and I need help
[06:20] <gavinchappell> cwillu: none at all, I shoudl imagine, as long as they're not both on the same network
[06:20] <_Arvydas_> stefg: I can't, I couldn't get ubuntu installed
[06:20] <Amaranth> !es > franormo
[06:20] <cwillu> it's happening on two different machines (a dell and an hp)
[06:20] <Amaranth> yaya
[06:20] <_Arvydas_> stefg: I got that error we are talking about
[06:20] <pdlnhrd> kalosaurusrex:  it really isn't a printer issue... i can print to it... it is an issue with choosing the correct ppd file .. but thansk anyways
[06:20] <_eks_> gavinchappell: and what about performance, in comparison to usual ssh tunnel ?
[06:20] <gnomefreak> Hexidigital_: nalioth got it
[06:20] <CrazyDoode> Abnix: tar -jxvf <filename>
[06:20] <gnomefreak> lol Amaranth
[06:20] <Hexidigital_> ok
[06:20] <gavinchappell> _eks_: I don't know, I've never used a thin client
[06:20] <CrazyDoode> heh sorry
[06:20] <_eks_> ok
[06:20] <gavinchappell> :)
[06:20] <_eks_> thx
[06:20] <gavinchappell> sorry :)
[06:20] <_eks_> np
[06:20] <elie_> hi
[06:20] <Ro1> it still takes a long time to get onto a site such as google....but when i put in ip address its super quick...how do i fix my dns server?
[06:20] <elie_> any1 know how 2 add shorrcuts into the menu?
[06:21] <DBO> _eks_, you are wondering on the performance of thin clients?
[06:21] <gavinchappell> elie_: There's a menu editor called Alacarte
[06:21] <udo> how can i setup my usb f200 crypto modem does anyone knows i have ubuntu dapper?
[06:21] <kalosaurusrex> Ro1: you have to add some things to your about:configu
[06:21] <kalosaurusrex> about:config
[06:21] <kalosaurusrex> I'll find the site hold
[06:21] <Ro1> ok
[06:21] <mzuverink> Anyone knows what "--MARK--" means in message.log?
[06:21] <stefg> _Arvydas_: I mean the 'Desktop'-CD serves as a Live-CD and rescue-system. Will your computer boot from the  CD?
[06:21] !alindeman:*! Hi all.  Services is restored--the restart was only for some small maintenance.  If you have any problems, please find a freenode staffer ( /stats p ) and /msg them
[06:21] <DBO> _eks_, well as you might imagine, starting programs takes a little bit longer, but so long as your server has plenty of ram, it works really really well
[06:21] <gavinchappell> mzuverink: I think it's just a timestamp, so you know it's still logging and hasn't crashed
[06:21] <gavinchappell> don't quote me though
[06:22] <_Arvydas_> stefg: It boots after I modified the BIOS to do so
[06:22] <_absolution_> do I have to be root to untar files?
[06:22] <kalosaurusrex> Ro1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204083&highlight=firefox+dns
[06:22] <Ng> mzuverink: it's just an informational entry put in every so often to show the logging system is still alive
[06:22] <Ro1> thanks
[06:22] <dr_willis> _absolution_,  no.
[06:22] <stefg> _Arvydas_: good. are you on Broadband?
[06:22] <cydrive> how do install a .tar.gz file manually?
[06:23] <IKE> hi
[06:23] <p_masho> anyone experienced with samba? can see a directory on smb://server/path etc and added to "places".... but does not appear in gnome save/open dialogs ? anyone able to help
[06:23] <_Arvydas_> stefg: with broadband you mean?
[06:23] <gavinchappell> cydrive: follow the instructions on the webpage where you got the .tar.gz ;)
[06:23] <mzuverink> gavinchappell, thanks, I keep getting multiple failed attempts to log into my system and am checking logs. I have never had this happen before, and am a noob.  I am a bit paranoid now
[06:23] <cwillu> p_masho: you need to put it in fstab, or mount it from the terminal
[06:23] <DBO> cydrive, usually that means you have the source code, you are generally going to have to compile that
[06:23] <dr_willis> cydrive,  depends on the exact file.. normally its a ./configure, make, sudo make install,
[06:23] <_eks_> DBO: ok thx :)
[06:23] <cwillu> !samba > p_masho
[06:23] <IKE> after i boot the cd and i choose to istall it went 5 minutes without anything happening is that right ??
[06:24] <linux_user400354> how can i do a network install with ubuntu?
[06:24] <wapa_huelva> ola hay por aki algun xico andaluz?
[06:24] <_Arvydas_> stefg: I use a cablemodem connection
[06:24] <Hexidigital_> !es
[06:24] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[06:24] <stefg> _Arvydas_: I want you to boot up the Live-CD and come back here with the Ubuntu then running from the CD. this implies that you are able to connect to the Internet when th Live-CD system is booted
[06:24] <Amaranth> linux_user400354: a real network install or a mini iso like debian?
[06:24] <Ro1> kelosaurusrex: that didnt work
[06:24] <QRZ> Ro1:  What does the output of "dig" give you?  Does it take a long time to respond?  What DNS IP is doing your name resolution for you?
[06:25] <kalosaurusrex> Ro1: sorry :/
[06:25] <Ro1> dig?
[06:25] <DBO> its a command
[06:25] <Ro1> it gave me a lota stuff
[06:25] <stefg> _Arvydas_: if you have dsl and no router this means that you'll have to run something like 'pppoeconf' to connect
[06:25] <kalosaurusrex> Ro1: perhaps something here?
[06:25] <kalosaurusrex> http://www.tweakguides.com/Firefox_9.html
[06:25] <QRZ> Ro1:  Did it take a long time to respond (more than 1/2 second)?
[06:26] <Ro1> let me try again
[06:26] <Ro1> it took 13ms
[06:26] <Ro1> well i guess real time it was about a second
[06:26] <Frogzoo> mnvl: it's really not that big a deal, & it lets you know what's going on, which actually is quite useful
[06:26] <linux_user400354> Amaranth, either one. I would like to do a real network install.
[06:26] <elie_> how 2 add a shotcut in alacarrte?
[06:27] <QRZ> Ro1:  That's respectable.  Now try resolving some arbitrary name like cnn.com by doing, "dig cnn.com" and see how long it takes.
[06:27] <ankan> guys....I have a 1.2GB mpg file that I wanna create a vcd from using k3b with normal CD-Rs....what do I need to do to compress the file to fit on the cd
[06:27] <elie_> how 2 add a shotcut in alacarte?
[06:27] <Ro1> it timed out after about 20 seconds
[06:28] <Chetic> I'm trying to compile a plugin for gaim but when I try to run the configure script I get this: "checking for gaim... Package gaim was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gaim.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gaim' found" and I HAVE installed gaim!
[06:28] <Ro1> i just dig google.com and it took about a second
[06:28] <DBO> Chetic, did you compile gaim yourself as well?
[06:28] <Elie_> how 2 add a shotcut in alacarte?
[06:28] <PreZ> btw, what are the better pieces of burning software for gnome?
[06:28] <Chetic> no DBO, do I have to?
[06:28] <stefg> Chetic: but not the gaim-*dev* packages
[06:28] <Chetic> ohhhh
[06:28] <DBO> what he said
[06:28] <Chetic> haha thanks
[06:28] <stefg> you need the gaim source as well i guess
[06:28] <Jack_Sparrow> prez k3b
[06:29] <QRZ> Ro1:  Looks like your DNS server might be a little flaky!  Try using a different DNS server.
[06:29] <Amaranth> linux_user400354: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot
[06:29] <Ro1> QRZ: how do i do that i'm very new here
[06:29] <rpedro> ankan: you need vcdximage , and probably transcode
[06:29] <PreZ> k3b is a kde app though
[06:29] <stefg> Ro1: where are you on planet earth? Country?
[06:29] <Ro1> New york, USA
[06:29] <QRZ> Ro1:  Open your /etc/resolv.conf file in a text editor (sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf) and then add the line, "nameserver 4.2.2.1" at the top and then save it.
[06:30] <ankan> rpedro: i installed vcdImager...so should I also install transcode?
[06:30] <Elie_> how 2 add a shotcut in alacarrte?
[06:30] <PreZ> I specifically don't want to have to install half of KDE for a burning application
[06:30] <PreZ> which is why I asked 'for gnome'
[06:30] <Elie_> any1plz?
[06:30] <DBO> Elie_, file -> new entry
[06:30] <mnvl> Frogzoo, i have a computer to eliminate repetitive tasks. in what way is it useful to know that libsmthmysql has been updated?
[06:31] <QRZ> Ro1:  4.2.2.1 is a public DNS server.  It's performance is usually as good or better than most ISPs DNS servers.
[06:31] <Ro1> QRZ: ok i did that
[06:31] <Ro1> YAYA
[06:31] <rpedro> ankan: you'll need it if you want to fit that file on one vcd
[06:31] <Ribs> PreZ: Try Gnome Baker
[06:31] <Ro1> it works much faster
[06:31] <Ro1> thanks so much QRZ
[06:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Prez.. you dont
[06:31] <QRZ> Ro1: So it appears as though your local DNS (ISP's DNS) is not working too well.
[06:32] <rpedro> ankan: you can see more k3b dependencies on the 'Programs' tab of the k3b preferences
[06:32] <Ro1> QRZ: do you know any other quicker dns servers?
[06:32] <PreZ> Really? when I selected k3b in synaptic, it wanted to install most of kde
[06:32] <spiderbatdad> wondering if text pages viewed in a java applet window are stored on hda  anywhere?
[06:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Half of KDE is alot more than what you see
[06:32] <Jeruvy> R01: your ISP is always going to be the fastest...if it works :)
[06:32] <Ro1> QRZ: can i delete those other "nameserver IP" in that file other then the one i just put in
[06:33] <QRZ> Ro1:  Like I said, 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 (the secondary) are very good.  As Jeruvy  said, your local ISP's nameservers are what you want to use if they are working as they should.
[06:33] <Ro1> OK
[06:33] <Ro1> Thanks
[06:33] <tuxmaniac> nalioth> ping
[06:33] <QRZ> Ro1:  However, until then, you can use the public servers to get by.
[06:34] <nalioth> tuxmaniac: pong?
[06:34] <tuxmaniac> nalioth> Can I pm?
[06:34] <Ro1> QRZ: thanks again...i cant thank you enough
[06:34] <tuxmaniac> nalioth> Its regarding cloaks
[06:34] <Ro1> wow...its blazeing fast now
[06:34] <nalioth> tuxmaniac: of course
[06:35] <QRZ> Ro1:  Yes.  You can get rid of the other entries in your /etc/resolv.conf file if you like.  Just bear in mind that the dhcpd process will overwrite that file every time it obtains a new IP lease.
[06:36] <grimboy> So if I attach a phone via usb and it shows up as a tty device how do I start trying to talk to it?
[06:36] <QRZ> Ro1:  The way to fix the problem correctly is to figure out why your local DNS is being so flaky.  Since your router is responsible for assigning your network settings, chances are you need to verify the DNS IPs listed in your router configuration.
[06:37] <dr_willis> ive had issues where ubuntu's 'however it gets the dns servers dynamiacly' seems to get confused at times as well
[06:38] <grimboy> How do you talk to tty devices?
[06:38] <kalosaurusrex> grimboy: what do you want to do exactly?
[06:38] <kalosaurusrex> call someone?
[06:38] <kalosaurusrex> use it as a mic?>
[06:38] <kalosaurusrex> talk to yourself?
[06:38] <stefg> :-)
[06:38] <Jack_Sparrow> I think grim just wants to add ringtones and manage his phone
[06:39] <ankan> rpedro: i installed transcode from synaptic but its still givin me the error as image size being too big when tryin to burn it in k3b
[06:39] <Jack_Sparrow> You need to push and pull from those phones
[06:39] <Ackeubu_> hey i have apache running by default with root on /var/www right???
[06:39] <kalosaurusrex> ahhh I see.  I wouldn't mind knowing how to do that either. someday, someday.
[06:39] <grimboy> Yeah, I don't think it's a happener but I'd like to at least try to connect to it as a tty device and mess around.
[06:39] <kalosaurusrex> Acke, you can check in the /etc/apache/httpd.conf file.
[06:39] <Tom39Away> Hey, I'm getting "eth0: no such device" errors because I didn't have the internet connected when I installed Dapper.  How can I set up eth0?
[06:39] <kalosaurusrex> or change it, etc.
[06:39] <kandinski> I look in System/Administration on my Dapper system and I can't see where to add the printer
[06:40] <kalosaurusrex> kand: what printer make/model?
[06:40] <Jack_Sparrow> grimboy: There is a tool for that somewhere..
[06:40] <Administrator_> QUESTION: On slashdot this morning, there was an article invlolving ATI releasing its newest linux drivers, when will thay be available in Dapper?
[06:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Let me think for a min..
[06:40] <lens> arghgh... I can't get this to run: run the "unix-install.py" script found in the main Howie
[06:40] <lens>    directory.
[06:40] <kandinski> kalo: it is a Samsung ML 1520, but I can't even get to an "add printe" dialog
[06:40] <Hexidigital_> lens:: sudo ./unix-install.py ?
[06:40] <DBO> Administrator_, they wont unless you manually install them
[06:41] <kalosaurusrex> lens:  try chmod 777 unix-install.py then sudo ./unix-install.py
[06:41] <DBO> Administrator_, dapper is in feature freeze
[06:41] <Jack_Sparrow> grimboy: what make and model of phone
[06:41] <kalosaurusrex> actually you can probably minus the chmod if using sudo. dur
[06:41] <lens> I think I tried both of those... except for the 777? but ok.
[06:41] <enursha> using gksu or sudo isn't working for me if i want lanucher an app. help?
[06:41] <Administrator_> DBO, do you think its worth i nstalling considering it has an ubuntu speciific installer now
[06:41] <MilesTormani> Excuse me, but I'm having a little trouble with setting my default sound card. I have a Creative Soundblaster in a PCI slot, but Dapper refuses to let me change the default from the motherboard speaker. I know it works though because XMMS lets me choose the other sound card.
[06:41] <kalosaurusrex> kand: System > Admin > Printing what happens?
[06:42] <grimboy> Jack_Sparrow, a sony ericsson 550i, from what I understand nobody's written any software or documentation for its communication
[06:42] <kandinski> no "Printing" there
[06:42] <kalosaurusrex> werd
[06:42] <DBO> Administrator_, only if you really use it
[06:43] <Administrator_> DBO, how long will dapper be in "feature freeze" and does this mean that no programs within the repositories will be upgraded until next release?
[06:43] <DBO> Administrator_, you got it
[06:43] <Jack_Sparrow> grimboy:  Get Xgnokii
[06:43] <Administrator_> DBO, wow that stinks...
[06:43] <DBO> Administrator_, its not that bad, its only 6 months between releases
[06:44] <linux_user400354> why is there a dvd version of ubuntu?
[06:44] <Hexidigital_> lens:: any luck?
[06:44] <Administrator_> DBO, thats true i just want gaim 2.0 : )
[06:44] <kalosaurusrex> I think in feature freeze only security updates refreshed.
[06:44] <grimboy> Jack_Sparrow, Thanks for the pointer, I'll give it a try.
[06:44] <MilesTormani> Administrator_, does Gaim 2.0 actually allow direct connections?
[06:44] <MilesTormani> Just wondering.
[06:44] <enursha> Ng, cool, cheers
[06:44] <enursha> hello, using gksu or sudo isn't working for me if i want lanucher an app. help?
[06:44] <DBO> Administrator_, been using gaim 2.0 for some time, just compile it yourself and throw it in /opt/gaim2/
[06:44] <Administrator_> MilesTormani, i believe so
[06:45] <Administrator_> DBO, what using prefix=/opt/gaim2/ ?
[06:45] <Administrator_> DBO, did you leave the other gaim package installed?
[06:45] <DBO> Administrator_, without the trailing slash, but yes
[06:45] <lens> Hexidigital, kalosaurusrex... 777 as a modifier, weird... anyways... still doesn't work.. :(... and I have to go... I REALLY want this program to work, so I will be working on it later tonight... thanks though.
[06:45] <jrib> enursha: does 'sudo echo hi' in a terminal give you any output?
[06:45] <DBO> Administrator_, yes, I left the other gaim package installed
[06:45] <kandinski> kalosaurus: I oly have (in Spanish, but I doubt it is a localisation issue): Hardware manager, Shared Folders, Synaptic, Disks, Updates, Network tools, Time and date, System monitor, Software Preferences, Logs, services, users and groups, xdm picker
[06:45] <Hexidigital_> lens:: sorry :( see you later
[06:45] <Administrator_> DBO, interesting
[06:45] <DBO> Administrator_, just diver the old package, then symlink in the one you compiled to /usr/bin/gaim
[06:46] <MilesTormani> Anyway, could anyone tell me what I could do to fix the 'default sound card refuses to change' problem I have? xx;
[06:46] <DBO> s/diver/divert/
[06:46] <lens> hexidigital... np... I think I'll figure it out. cya.
[06:46] <Jack_Sparrow> grimboy:  here is a link to the manual and possibly the software for XP

[06:51] <bit_doidao> Jack_Sparrow, yeah, but i had installed alsa-oss, and starting skype with "aoss skype" i could heard the ring at the same time of the music, but coudnt hear or talk to the other person
[06:51] <_absolution_> and I could see the difference
[06:52] <bit_doidao> _absolution_, try xubuntu...
[06:52] <phreak_coder> DBO, np im new to ubuntu/debian in general just learning the new software system/filepaths etc thought it might be a good opporunity to look for some decent admin tools
[06:52] <jrib> enursha: and the same happens for nautilus and other apps?  Can you put a screenshot on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ ?
[06:52] <stefg> bit_doidao: you have an .asoundrc set up, haven't you?
[06:52] <_absolution_> how would I get it?
[06:53] <cntb> shachaf ? speak hbr?
[06:53] <bit_doidao> stefg, im looking into it, but dont know how to set it up

[06:53] <stefg> google is your friend :-)
[06:53] <psx1337> I have a sort of stupid question.. I downloaded ubuntu-6.06-desktop-i386.iso, burned the ISO to a disc, when I go to install it on my laptop
[06:53] <johnny> can someone help me with dvd playback for Gxine?
[06:53] <danfg> is there anyway i can install all or the most common dev packages so i won't have trouble compiling source?
[06:53] <psx1337> It just loads the desktop
[06:53] <jrib> ubotu: tell johnny about dvd
[06:53] <psx1337> and there's like 2 icons on there
[06:54] <GigaClon> that normal
[06:54] <psx1337> but i can't really move the cursor much
[06:54] <psx1337> i left it on all night
[06:54] <jrib> !enter
[06:54] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[06:54] <psx1337> and when i woke up it didn't get anywhere.. should I just download the 'server' iso?
[06:54] <johnny> i heard that 6.06 was crap
[06:54] <Jeruvy> psx1337, then run the installer after it's booted :)
[06:54] <ajayc> ^richiefrich: hey!
[06:54] <johnny> alot of problems with the partitioner
[06:54] <GigaClon> danfg, build-essential
[06:54] <psx1337> right, where it says "install" on the desktop?
[06:54] <ali4728> Help! Can someone suggest me, a image resizing -batch (500 images) software  to put up on the web site? Thanks
[06:54] <ToHellWithGA> i installed a new theme and when i run system configuration things (GDM login chooser / synaptic) the windows apper gray like the redmond style.  how can i fix that?
[06:54] <johnny> how do i get dvd input for gxine
[06:54] <psx1337> I have no direct option to install it..
[06:54] <Jack_Sparrow> psx1337: what is your hardware config, laptop?
[06:55] <Jeruvy> psx1337, it's one of the icons on the desktop :)
[06:55] <psx1337> hmm alright
[06:55] <danfg> GigaClon: build-essential is far from having all the usual dev packages i need to compile basic stuff like apache or php
[06:55] <psx1337> The hardware, I don't know.. it's like 5 years old
[06:55] <psx1337> a Celeron I think
[06:55] <bit_doidao> stefg, im searching a lot. only yoday a found the alsa-oss solution
[06:55] <johnny> jrib: the dvd plugins for xine dont work for gxine
[06:55] <jrib> johnny: check your private messages from ubotu
[06:55] <Aladdin--> Hi there :)
[06:55] <ajayc> hi
[06:56] <psx1337> I'll be back if I can't get it to work, thanks.
[06:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Since your pointing device is a problem what type is it.. touchpad or mouse?
[06:56] <danfg> i used to compile things like apache, php easily on redhat or centos, but ubuntu gives me a hard time because it doesn't have standard dev stuff i need
[06:56] <enursha> jrib, this is a bit weird, it shows up after a few mins, and my java app azureus takes a while aswell
[06:56] <TheCross> hello, what is the command to check view all running processes and how much CPU they are using?
[06:56] <johnny> totem xine plays dvd fine
[06:56] <danfg> is there a meta-package that has all the most common dev packages i'll ever need?
[06:56] <bbrazil> TheCross: top, ps
[06:57] <johnny> but gxine says there is no input plugin for dvd
[06:57] <jrib> danfg: build-essential
[06:57] <TheCross> bbrazil: i dont understand what you wrote
[06:57] <danfg> jrib: that's not it, try compiling apache from source with just build-essential. isn't there a build-complete? essential is not enough
[06:57] <bbrazil> TheCross: two commands you can use are 'top' and 'ps'
[06:57] <Hexidigital_> TheCross:: top and ps are two different commands
[06:57] <skavenge> why compile when its in the repos?
[06:58] <Aladdin--> got a prob.  I have to install Build-Essential on an Ubuntu machine that ain't connected to the internet. Could you advise on how to download the package from a connected machine and then install with apt from a local directory. THX
[06:58] <TheCross> bbrazil: ace! thank you!
[06:58] <jrib> danfg: apt-get install build-essential && apt-get build-dep apache2'
[06:58] <kalosaurusrex> compile has the advantage of stuff that may be in the repos but not of current version.
[06:58] <skavenge> Aladdin-- ; the build-essential program is on the install cd, use synaptic and install from there
[06:59] <jrib> danfg: without the random ' that got in there :)
[06:59] <danfg> jrib: build-dep? nice, i'll try it out, thanks :)
[06:59] <Aladdin--> skavenge: duh.  I never even bothered to look. sorry for the lost of your time. but thx alot.
[06:59] <_Arvydas_> Jack_Sparrow , stefg: I only have one partition with windows xp installed and I want to make 2 partitions: one for ubuntu and another one for windows. But for that i need that error to be fixed. I am going to do what you said stefg
[07:00] <gnomefreak> danfg: only works on apps int he repos
[07:00] <jrib> danfg: that should get you all of the packages you need to compile apache2, you can get the source downloaded with 'apt-get source apache2'
[07:00] <johnny> whats the name of a c++ compiler
[07:00] <MHobbit> gcc.
[07:00] <stefg> _Arvydas_: Do have 'dynamic disks' enabled in WinXp?
[07:00] <jrib> johnny: g++
[07:00] <kalosaurusrex> gcc-c++
[07:00] <gnomefreak> johnny: gcc/g++
[07:00] <johnny> k
[07:00] <johnny> thanks
[07:00] <gnomefreak> johnny: build-essential should get you everything you need
[07:00] <skavenge> heh
[07:00] <_Arvydas_> stefg: where can i check so?
[07:01] <skavenge> it needs to be in the default install .. with a name like 'essential' i'd think that'd need to be included in most cases, imo
[07:01] <danfg> wow, apt-get build-dep php4 = 24Mb worth of crap. oh well...
[07:01] <danfg> actually 76Mb unpacked, yikes
[07:01] <gnomefreak> danfg: its all the -dev files you need to build it
[07:01] <stefg> Pheeewwww, that's a long time ago... it's somewhere in the system control... managemnet console.
[07:02] <stefg> _Arvydas_: better ask that in #windows.. dynamic disks is the keyword
[07:02] <danfg> thanks a lot guys :)
[07:02] <AK7> random question, again. If I have been using the 386 kernel, when I could have been using the 686, and I upgrade to the 686, will I get a noticable performance boost?
[07:02] <Hexidigital_> _Arvydas_:: if you dont know if you have dynamic discs, chances are you don't
[07:02] <neutrinomass> AK7: doubtful
[07:03] <_Arvydas_> stefg: In hardware administrator I can see into "RAID and SCSI drivers" the following: A347SCSI driver and D347PRT SCSI driver
[07:03] <AK7> oh...
[07:03] <enursha> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/i16702
[07:03] <neutrinomass> AK7: It is going to be faster, but I don't think you'll even notice ;)
[07:03] <_Arvydas_> stefg: anyways I'll paste my hardware list as you said
[07:03] <enursha> jrib, this is a bit weird, it shows up after a few mins, and my java app azureus takes a while aswell
[07:04] <stefg> _Arvydas_: yes, that'll help diagnosing your prob
[07:04] <skavenge> 386 worked out of the box, i dont game and its a 1.6 gig celeron laptop i dont think monkey'ing with a 686 kernel is gonna do much for me heh
[07:04] <stefg> skavenge: just test-drive it, if you don't like it, there's alway a way back
[07:05] <skavenge> stefg; yikes uncharted waters, everything works now heh
[07:05] <tovella> does anyone here know about openmosix or openssi clustering with ubuntu?

[07:05] <AK7> oh, and how do I use an earlier kernel anyway?

[07:06] <gnomefreak> !gpg > amarokker
[07:06] <Flensy> hello
[07:06] <stefg> AK7: there should be an entry in the grub boot menu 8press esc at startup if no menu appears)

[07:06] <amarokker> gnomefreak: thanks, looking up
[07:06] <gnomefreak> yw
[07:06] <jrib> enursha: don't really know what would do that... you may want to _carefully_ experiment with cleaning out the gnome related directories in /root
[07:07] <Flensy> when i boot the cd and choose to setup it stops there what is wrong ?
[07:07] <gnomefreak> brb
[07:07] <kalosaurusrex> Flensy:  bad burn perhaps?
[07:07] <AK7> thx stefg
[07:08] <Flensy> myabe... there aint something else that could be wrong ?
[07:08] <kalosaurusrex> alien invasion?
[07:08] <Hexidigital_> i forget... how do i disable GUI startup in Breezy?
[07:08] <Flensy> hmm
[07:08] <kalosaurusrex> always start with the simplest solution first..:)
[07:08] <enursha> rjib, which kind of ones though, conf files related to the progs?
[07:08] <Flensy> ok
[07:08] <enursha> jrib, which kind of ones though, conf files related to the progs?
[07:09] <jrib> enursha: ~/.gnome* and ~/.gconf* , I would rry renaming those to ~/.gnome.backup etc.
[07:09] <jrib> enursha: for /root though, not your home since it seems to only happen with sudo
[07:10] <enursha> jrib, cool, i'll give it a go
[07:11] <cast> quick question: can the installer [reliably]  resize ntfs partitions to make space for itself?

[07:12] <CarlFK> cast yes
[07:12] <RaoulMillais> im trying to delete and reformat my NTFS partition and ive got a problem if anyone can help...

[07:13] <cntb> cast ?
[07:13] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:13] <kalosaurusrex> rofl
[07:13] <Jack_Sparrow> argh
[07:13] <RaoulMillais> i booted from the GParted livecd and deleted the partition and reformatted it as ext3, but when i booted back into ubuntu it wasnt mounted and was still saying it was an NTFS partition
[07:14] <MilesTormani> Still can't figure out this sound card problem.
[07:14] <_Arvydas_> stefg: can it be provoked by the virtual devices which uses alcohol 120% or daemon tools to mount virtual images of cd-roms?
[07:14] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesTormani: are you talking about the internal speaker thing
[07:15] <RaoulMillais> i can give the mount error or dmesg | tail output if that helps
[07:15] <juanfer2k> hello, trying to install w32 codecs on 5.10
[07:15] <stefg> Hexidigital_: no, that only affects win... the cd won't notice any win-drivers
[07:15] <sysdoc> RaoulMillais, u have to alter the fstab file to get it right /etc/fstab
[07:15] <Hexidigital_> stefg:: ??
[07:15] <fijam> question: how do I make gcc command use gcc 3.4 not the 4.0?
[07:15] <stefg> _Arvydas_:  no, that only affects win... the cd won't notice any win-drivers
[07:15] <RaoulMillais> ok thanks sysdoc, what do i need to change?
[07:16] <Hexidigital_> :)
[07:16] <Cntryboy> I just got a geforce fx5500 video card, and was using a geforce 2 gts/pro with nvidia legacy drivers.. How do I uninstall the nvidia legacy drivers so I can get the nvidia drivers for this card?
[07:16] <fijam> i need it for my cross compiling environment to work
[07:16] <MilesTormani> No. When I go to Preferences > Sound, and change the default sound card from 'Intel 82801AA-ICH' (the motherboard sound card, which I'm trying to disable) to 'CA0106' (The Creative Soundblaster Live! card, which I'm trying to make everything use by default), then close the window... the default sound card simply changes back to the Intel.
[07:16] <MilesTormani> I also do not see a 'save' or 'apply settings' button.
[07:16] <seany> is this an ok place to ask about a problem i have after upgrading to edgy?
[07:16] <sysdoc> fijam, CC=gcc-3.4, export CC
[07:16] <Jack_Sparrow> MilesTormani:  you need to go to cmos and turn off your onboard sound card
[07:16] <Hexidigital_> seany:: #ubuntu+1 for edgy questions
[07:16] <skavenge> edgy is #ubuntu+1
[07:17] <MilesTormani> 'sudo cmos'?
[07:17] <seany> fantastic, thank you
[07:17] <Jack_Sparrow> No. CMOS hit delete on power up
[07:17] <skavenge> bios that is
[07:17] <jos> cmos<>bios
[07:17] <sysdoc> RaoulMillais, Full instructions are in the Wiki just search for fstab
[07:17] <MilesTormani> Er... yeah, I didn't really get that at all, sorry.
[07:17] <_Arvydas_> stefg: could you please check this info? it talks about this error and maybe it's my case, but i dont understand what to do: http://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2006-March/msg00161.html
[07:18] <RaoulMillais> sysdoc, yeh i just found it sorry, its pretty obvious anyway.... thanks for the pointers though :))
[07:18] <Jack_Sparrow> hit delete on power up find sound system and turn it off
[07:18] <Cntryboy> anyone?
[07:18] <sysdoc> :)
[07:18] <skavenge> your bios, when you boot your computer, says 'press delete for setup' or something such, go into the menu and disable onboard sound
[07:18] <cntb> Cntryboy: what?
[07:18] <MilesTormani> Ah, okay. I'll try that now and see if it works. Thanks.
[07:18] <Cntryboy> I just got a geforce fx5500 video card, and was using a geforce 2 gts/pro with nvidia legacy drivers.. How do I uninstall the nvidia legacy drivers so I can get the nvidia drivers for this card?
[07:19] <Cntryboy> cntb: I just pasted it again
[07:19] <cntb> keep in mind 750 ppl here
[07:19] <Jack_Sparrow> NOt to mention the Ub users in other languages
[07:19] <OrgulloKmoore> that's a lot of people :P
[07:19] <stefg> _Arvydas_: that's just accidently a name conflict... md reads multi-disk in our case
[07:20] <seany> I assume this is some kind of library error ( symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkdeui.so.4: ), how do i go about finding what i need to install, upgrade, recompile  to fix this?
[07:20] <cntb> Cntry go to easy UBUNTU
[07:20] <cntb> wait
[07:21] <sysdoc> Cntryboy, go here> http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Dapper

[07:21] <Jack_Sparrow> seany:  did you look in the add programs for libkde...  and are you running Ubuntu or Kubuntu
[07:21] <sysdoc> Cntryboy, Then eyeball the page I just posted
[07:21] <stefg> _Arvydas_: i'm running short of time. I you want me to help you, help me by providing your hardware list. Your problem has something to do with your harddisk-setup, and since you can't provide the proper info, call Sandra for help and let it generate a report and paste it to the pastebin
[07:21] <cntb> http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ Cntryboy !

[07:26] <johan_> Rhytmbox will only add a few of my mp3-files and says the rest are not soundstreams.  I've installed libgstreamer mad and those, but it still won't work. Why?
[07:26] <KingAztech> can a experienced Ubuntu user help me for a second? its to do with the installation
[07:27] <seany> Jack_Sparrow:  sudo apt-get install kivio kivio-data
[07:27] <Jack_Sparrow> KingAztech:  just ask question
[07:27] <Jack_Sparrow> seany you didnt get it all...
[07:27] <KingAztech> Well i'm stuck with the installation, i've downloaded the files burned them into a CD but my computer wont recognise it as a boot cd.
[07:28] <Jack_Sparrow> seany: go to apps add and remove and try it again

[07:29] <existance> Anyone know of a site that can help me get my ATI drivers sorted out?
[07:29] <stefg> KingAztech: you might want to read the link about smartbootmanager
[07:29] <skavenge> you 'burned from an image' too right its not just a cd with a .iso file on it right?
[07:29] <johan_> any suggestions on the mp3 issue?
[07:29] <_absolution_> is it normal to have "session.blah.blah" when opening the "~/.fluxbox/blah"??

[07:35] <Snurf> How do i tar/zip some files??

[07:36] <ern> chkconfig ?
[07:36] <lakcaj> ern:  ps aux | grep <servicename>

[07:37] <markskinner> any reason why removing SmartDimmer package would want to also remove gnome-session,ubuntu-desktop as well?
[07:37] <Flensy> no i will try that
[07:37] <markskinner> ern you can also do a netstat -p | grep <port of service>
[07:37] <oskude> Flensy, and be sure that the cdrom drive you use can read at the speed you burned the image

[07:39] <lakcaj> ern: what do you think you should do if you try to run a command and it is not found?
[07:39] <markskinner> ern.. you can install nmap      sudo apt-get install nmap
[07:39] <oskude> lakcaj, well, the command is not allways same as the pckage its in...
[07:39] <seany> ern:  sudo /etc/init.d/apache start (or httpd start) should start it for you

[07:40] <lakcaj> oskude: so he can't search for it?
[07:40] <ern> ok lakcaj i will install it.

[07:41] <_Arvydas_> stefg: you got it?
[07:41] <markskinner> true  seany,  does ubuntu install lsof ?  haven't tried it.
[07:41] <ern> seany i did , but: sudo: /etc/init.d/httpd: command not found

[07:43] <Ro1> say i want to move y file to 123 folder....whats the terminal comand to do that

[07:43] <johan_> I've followed the instructions to install ATI drivers for my 9600xt, but the command fglrxinfo doesn't say ati but mesa project

[07:43] <ardchoille> Ro1: mv /path/y /path/123
[07:43] <ProN00b> why is there no package for code::blocks in the repos ?
[07:43] <ninix> hi all
[07:43] <Ro1> thanks
[07:43] <harisund> I do not know if it is in the repositories or not :( .. either you will have to install it manually or use whatever is the latest in the repositories.. concept10
[07:44] <seany> mbirkis: or you can take the output of the command that you want and pipe it some where. "command > text.file"
[07:44] <seany> [Ex0r] : oh... well then
[07:44] <ninix> im wondering why my ***** wireless speed seem to be limited to 2MBS/sec, anyone can help me?
[07:44] <concept10> !info apache2.$*2
[07:44] <ubotu> Package apache2.$*2 does not exist in dapper
[07:44] <harisund> concept10 dapper has 2.0.55 .. so that seems to be the latest in the repositories
[07:44] <harisund> !info apache2
[07:44] <mbirkis> seany, yeah... that could work... will the file look exactly like the screen?
[07:44] <Flensy> oskude something is wrong... lets take it here :P
[07:44] <ubotu> apache2: next generation, scalable, extendable web server. In repository main, is optional. Version 2.0.55-4ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 34 kB, installed size 80 kB
[07:44] <Flensy> what should i do with the hash code ?
[07:44] <ern> ls
[07:45] <seany> mbirkis: it will have the same text, but it wont be wordwrapped
[07:45] <concept10> harisund, yeah, i know thats there, I guess I have to compile
[07:45] <existance> when I change my resolution to 1600 x 1200, it changes to some virtual resolution bigger than my monitor (i can basically scroll around).  I'm using fglrx drivers.  Any ideas how to fix this?
[07:45] <oskude> Flensy, are you in linux or windows ?
[07:45] <mbirkis> seany, ok... can try that
[07:45] <Flensy> i am in windows
[07:45] <mbirkis> seany, thanks for the help
[07:45] <harisund> concept10 I would think so too ... bad luck eh? I wonder why 2.0.55 is the latest version and nothing more than that, even in Dapper..
[07:45] <seany> mbirkis: no problem
[07:45] <oskude> Flensy, then you could try this http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/using_md5sums.html
[07:45] <ern> usually init.d is in the root directory .ok?
[07:46] <ern> usually init.d is in the root directory .ok?

[07:46] <ern> ok
[07:46] <QRZ> ninix:  Flaky wireless connection, perhaps?
[07:46] <harisund> are you looking for some service ern?
[07:47] <lakcaj> ern: did you install the apache2 package?
[07:47] <markskinner> any reason why removing SmartDimmer package would want to also remove gnome-session,ubuntu-desktop as well?
[07:47] <concept10> harisund, maybe because they consider 2.2 less stable/tesing
[07:47] <oskude> Flensy, or find another md5 tool, then you run the program on the downloaded iso file, and compare that against the md5 on the ubuntu server
[07:47] <harisund> concept10 likely.. edgy eft perhaps .. :)
[07:47] <ern> sure, there is a apache2 here.
[07:47] <existance> when I change my resolution to 1600 x 1200, it changes to some virtual resolution bigger than my monitor (i can basically scroll around).  I'm using fglrx drivers.  Any ideas how to fix this?

[07:47] <concept10> harisund, no there either
[07:47] <homerh_linux> hiya ppl

[07:48] <seany> ern: so try, 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start'
[07:48] <Hexidigital_> can someone please help? i need to disable Gnome at startup... i edited the /etc/inittab file, but Gnome still starts at boot
[07:48] <Ademan> is it possible to UNINSTALL from source?
[07:48] <harisund> Hexidigital_ do you want to remove Gnome?
[07:48] <QRZ> ninix:  At what rate are you connected (could be anywhere between 1M and 54M depending on signal strength, other wireless devices, interference, etc.)?
[07:48] <lakcaj> ern: then, point your browser here:  http://127.0.0.1/
[07:48] <ern> lakcaj i think its installed. there is a service in init.d and a folder apache2 here
[07:48] <Hexidigital_> harisund:: no, just disable at boot
[07:48] <harisund> Hexidigital_ you mean the GDM login screen? which asks you to login ?
[07:49] <Hexidigital_> harisund:: yes
[07:49] <Hexidigital_> harisund:: i want a text login screen
[07:49] <harisund> Hexidigital_ so what did you edit in the inittab file?
[07:49] <ninix> QRZ: where can i see that ? (ubuntu)
[07:49] <lakcaj> ern: do what seany said, the sudo command to start the deamon
[07:49] <noah> how can i get back the original default ubuntu xorg.conf?
[07:49] <lakcaj> ern: then, point your browser here:  http://127.0.0.1/
[07:49] <Hexidigital_> harisund:: i changed the id:2:initdefault to id:3:initdefault
[07:49] <harisund> Hexidigital_ in that case you can simply stop gdm from starting during boot time. do "sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove"
[07:49] <lilbit> can someone tell me of a raid 1 card that clearly works in dapper
[07:49] <ern> i did it. The connection was refused when attemptin to contact 127.0.0.1
[07:49] <Hexidigital_> harisund:: thank you, i'll give it a shot
[07:50] <harisund> noah: sudo dpkg-reconfigure Hexidigital_ Yes try it out and let me know if it works :(
[07:50] <stefg> lilbit: why do want a card? you can do that in software...
[07:50] <dapper-ipodder> anyone familiar with ipod and dapper - wondering why my mini mounts as read-only and I cannot save files on it (or sync)
[07:50] <ninix> QRZ:  i just pasted u the info of iwconfig

[07:50] <ninix> Ok'
[07:50] <harisund> noah .. just a second I am trying to search ..
[07:50] <ern> no. nothing
[07:51] <Ademan> anyone here use gdesklets?
[07:51] <noah> harisund: k thx
[07:51] <seany> ern: it should have told you that it started ok
[07:51] <saxin> Ademan, yes
[07:51] <lilbit> stefg, what software?
[07:52] <Howdy125> Any way to turn off this screen blanking in Dapper .. Power Management seems to have no effect setting it to never and I'm using a desktop computer.
[07:52] <ern> seany i put in browser and the error is: The connection was refused when attemptin to contact 127.0.0.1
[07:52] <Hexidigital_> harisund:: i owe you a coffee
[07:52] <lakcaj> Howdy125: maybe it is a bios setting
[07:52] <Ademan> saxin: what EXACTLY is it? how is it different from panel applets?
[07:52] <harisund> Hexidigital_ I am guessing it worked then :)
[07:52] <seany> ern: after you ran the command to start apache it should have told you that the service started ok
[07:52] <Hexidigital_> harisund:: :) yep
[07:52] <harisund> Hexidigital_ in case you want to restore it, do a "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" and gdm screem will restart once again.
[07:53] <sysdoc> Howdy125, screensaver?
[07:53] <stefg> lilbit: software raid is a feature in linux... just connect two disks and tell the installer to use them as a raid-array that's what lvm and evms is all about
[07:53] <ern> it did'nt
[07:53] <Hexidigital_> harisund:: excellent... thanks again
[07:53] <Howdy125> I checked that lakcaj  and this only seems to happen in Ubuntu .. :(
[07:53] <oskude> Howdy125, does system-preferences-screensaver, and and click off "activate screensaver when session is idle" work ?
[07:53] <maddox> How do I change the default application for opening avi/mpeg files in gnome?
[07:53] <Howdy125> sysdoc, screensaver is off.
[07:53] <seany> you ran 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start' ?
[07:53] <dapper-ipodder> any ipod users out there?
[07:53] <ern> yes, i did.
[07:53] <Howdy125> let me try that oskude  ty
[07:54] <DBO> Howdy125, just FYI, I have the same issue on a fresh dapper install, I believe it to be a BIOS setting but it has never bothered me
[07:54] <lilbit> stefg, ok
[07:54] <lakcaj> ern: post the output of 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start' to a pastebin and then give us the link
[07:54] <lilbit> stefg, what kind of warranty do I get on your advice?
[07:54] <dapper-ipodder> maddox - system -preferences - preferred apps
[07:54] <Howdy125> oskude,  I miss read your post .. screensvaer is off.
[07:54] <QRZ> ninix:  Do you have other devices connected to your wireless network?  Especially older 802.11b (11Mb) devices?  If so, that would be why.  "G" supports backward compatibility with the older "B" equipment but it will hold all devices on the wireless network to the older (slower) data rates.
[07:54] <lilbit> stefg, just playing
[07:54] <seany> lakcaj: what's a pastebin?
[07:54] <lilbit> stefg, thanks, i will try that
[07:54] <oskude> Howdy125, ok
[07:55] <ern> this command gives me no response.

[07:55] <Flensy> if the hash doesnt match is it only to download again ?
[07:55] <harisund> noah I am thinking the package xserver-xorg-core might do it ..
[07:55] <oskude> Flensy, yes
[07:55] <lakcaj> ern: are you _sure_ that you have apache2 installed?
[07:55] <lilbit> I have a server that runs on breezy, it does mailwatch, spam assassin, malscanner
[07:55] <harisund> though I am doubtful of it :( .. sorry ..
[07:55] <ern> just the cursor ready
[07:55] <lilbit> does anyone here run that on stuff on dapper?
[07:55] <dapper-ipodder> any thoughts on why an ipod would mount as read-only filesystem?
[07:55] <seany> lilbit: can you rephrase that question?
[07:55] <oskude> Flensy, or i should have said, sadly yes :)
[07:56] <stefg> lilbit: -) http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-5.html this is a bit outdated but still useful. Remember that the ubuntu-installer will do a lot of the things mentioned there for you
[07:56] <ern> there is apache2 in /etc/init.d and apache2 in etc with 12 itens.
[07:56] <harisund> ern maybe I could help?
[07:56] <noah> harisund: ya no luck :-\
[07:57] <Plib> How do I remove ttf-indic-fonts without removing ubuntu-desktop?
[07:57] <ern> harisund, i'm trying to start apache
[07:57] <harisund> noah sorry :( I am surprised though..
[07:57] <Flannel> Plib: you don't.  But don't worry about it.
[07:57] <harisund> ern .. are you familiar with pasteboad? Can you post the output of commands there and send here the link?
[07:57] <Flannel> Plib: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package.
[07:57] <Plib> Flannel: ttf-indic-fonts is causing java to crash hard
[07:57] <Flannel> Plib: right, so remove them, and ubuntu-desktop
[07:57] <mc__> is movitz dead?
[07:58] <mc__> sry wrong channel
[07:58] <adamant1988> does SMART handle source installs?
[07:58] <Plib> oh, ok, that's what i did. But it just felt... wrong
[07:58] <seany> Plib: you could probably force it to be removed with somthing like 'dpkg -rf ttf-indic-fonts'
[07:58] <ern> there is no output, even stop and restart
[07:58] <LPub> Hi there, someone knows what to do about this problem: In a terminal window (and only there, no other apps as far as I can tell) I have characters like M, W and @ overlapping the next char.
[07:58] <linux_user400354> does the dvd iso of ubuntu come with more software? what is the difference between it and the cd iso?
[07:58] <harisund> ern first we have to check a couple of things .. can you post the output of "dpkg --list | grep apache" on Pasteboard?
[07:58] <Flannel> Plib: right, ubuntu-desktop is a meta package, you have to get rid of it, since once you remove the font, you don't have the 'complete' desktop.  but, you still have 99% of it.
[07:58] <Flensy> why did they the hash code get wrong ?
[07:58] <oskude> LPub, try chaning the font or font size
[07:58] <snozle> can someone help me with my printer, ever since I upgraded my packages I haven't been able to print
[07:59] <lilbit> I currently have a spam killing server, it is the smtp gateway between the world and my exchange 2003 server - it runs on Ubuntu 5.10 and uses postfix as the mta, spam assassin, mailscanner, and mailwatch to kill spam
[07:59] <kalosaurusrex> snozle: what printer?
[07:59] <LPub> oskude, I did...I tried several fonts.
[07:59] <ern> its big!
[07:59] <snozle> epson stylus color 880
[07:59] <lilbit> I will build a new server to do the same, and I am wondering if anyone here has done the same or similar with dapper?
[07:59] <snozle> kalosaurusrex, I have printed with it before in Ubuntu, just not since I've updated the packages
[07:59] <oskude> LPub, and what ever font and size you tested, they over lap ? (sure you tested fixed width fonts?)
[07:59] <harisund> ern, "dpkg --list | grep apache" is big? Never mind can you still copy and paste it somewhere?
[08:00] <sexcopter8000m> what's the command to clear the apt cache?
[08:00] <kalosaurusrex> snozle:  sorry..I'm only skilled with HP printers :/
[08:00] <snozle> kalosaurusrex, I don't even get an error message when I try to print
[08:00] <Plib> Flannel: ok, I think I understand. However, then that means if someday someone adds some awesome program to ubuntu-desktop, I might not get it until I install it manually, :p
[08:00] <ern> sorry, i forgot to put apache..
[08:00] <Flannel> lilbit: dapper shouldn't be any different than breezy for that.
[08:00] <LPub> oskude, yes, I tried fixed font, ttf, etc. etc. at several sizes. They always overlap
[08:00] <kalosaurusrex> snozle: you could look in the cups error log
[08:00] <harisund> ern in the worst case what you can do is simply reinstall all of the apache2 related packages and things should start working.
[08:00] <snozle> kalosaurusrex, how do I do that?
[08:00] <harisund> ern hehe I expected that. Typically I would expect a "sudo apt-get reinstall apache2 apache2-common" to get everything working agian.
[08:00] <oskude> LPub, very strange... sorry never seen that before.. hmm...
[08:00] <kalosaurusrex> snozle: do a sudo tail -f /var/log/cups/error_log
[08:00] <kalosaurusrex> then try to print
[08:00] <Flannel> Plib: correct.  It's recommended to re-add ubuntu-desktop when you upgrade to the next version (eft).
[08:00] <kalosaurusrex> and see if there are any errors
[08:00] <lilbit> Flannel, wouldnt think so but I was just wondering, so as not to waste my time and just go back with breezy since it works
[08:00] <kalosaurusrex> or check the /var/log/messages as well
[08:01] <ern> ii  apache2-common                        2.0.54-5ubuntu2                    next generation, scalable, extendable web se
[08:01] <ern> ii  apache2-utils                         2.0.54-5ubuntu2                    utility programs for webservers
[08:01] <harisund> ah no .. ern don't paste here
[08:01] <twitch> does anyone use the mplayer plugin to play WMV videos in firefox?
[08:01] <LPub> oskude, I think it happened after I installed msttfonts, but I'm not sure
[08:01] <oskude> LPub, lol, that would be cool ;)
[08:01] <harisund> ern try this cmmand out "sudo apt-get reinstall apache2 apache2-common" I am sure everyhing will start to work agin

[08:02] <jrib> ubotu: tell twitch about w32codecs
[08:02] <snozle> kalosaurusrex, can I send you the error in a PM?
[08:02] <kalosaurusrex> sure
[08:02] <LPub> What is so strange about it, is that is is only in a terminalwindow, not in openoffice or IRC.
[08:02] <ern> reinstall give:  E: invalid operation
[08:03] <foxiness> hi
[08:03] <harisund> ern .. hmm.. try "sudo aptitude reinstall apache2 apache2-common"
[08:03] <seany> does anyone know where i should start looking to fix this error? "kivio: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkdeui.so.4: undefined symbol" i have the kdelibs loaded, and i've reinstalled kivio.  I assume this is a library error of some kind.
[08:03] <Flensy> oskude can you pm the right hash code ?
[08:03] <Kensey> I think it's apt-get install --reinstall ... isn't it?
[08:03] <harisund> Kensey I think you are right ..
[08:03] <oskude> LPub, you could try "xterm"
[08:04] <harisund> Kensey just that I use aptitude all the time and not very familiar really with apt-get .. but nevertheless..ern what happened?
[08:04] <nosklo> i have a package that depends on libxine1, but the libxine1 package does not exist anymore, since hoary. It seems like libxine-main1 offers the same funcionality, but it hasn't a "Provides: libxine1". Do I have to rebuild and compile libxine-main1 to add a "Provides:"?
[08:04] <jrib> aptitude reinstall and apt-get install --reinstall should both work
[08:04] <oskude> Flensy, you find it on the bottom of of the page where you allso got the iso file. its called "MD5SUMS" its a text file
[08:04] <oskude> Flensy, like here http://ubuntu.intergenia.de/releases/6.06/MD5SUMS
[08:04] <nofx_br> hey there.... my lcd monitor cant show the startup.. and I have to turn it off, then turn on in gnome... then it shows.... hot to fix this?
[08:04] <Flensy> thx
[08:05] <Kensey> nofx: sounds like you're starting up in a resolution your monitor doesn't like
[08:05] <ern> it give some errors
[08:05] <oskude> LPub, xterm is just another terminal for x windows... check if the fonts are bad there
[08:05] <LPub> oskude: checking now
[08:05] <Kensey> what res is your monitor?
[08:06] <harisund> ern I was afraid of that.
[08:06] <nosklo> i've tried making a dummy equivs package, but libxine-main1 seems to be confliting with libxine1 so it wont let me fool the system this way
[08:06] <nofx_br> Kensey .. makes sense... .. where to chage... its 1280.1024
[08:06] <harisund> ern Can you post those errors on pasteboard or something?
[08:06] <LPub> oskude, nope, font's are okay there
[08:06] <Flensy> thx now i got the right now :D
[08:06] <oskude> LPub, ok, maybe a little closer to the solution :)
[08:06] <Kensey> nofx: you want to do this -- sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:06] <LPub> oskude, will use xterm for now until I find a solution then. Thnx
[08:07] <snozle> kalosaurusrex, when I print, the job shows up in the printer queue and goes away as if it were completed but the printer does nothing
[08:07] <oskude> LPub, roger, but try to stay on it. could be a bug
[08:07] <oskude> LPub, maybe posting on forum (if you didnt search in it yet)
[08:07] <ProN00b> why is there no package for code::blocks in the repos ?
[08:07] <LPub> Yes, will post a question in the forum
[08:07] <ern> maybe it's a dummy question but, what's pasteboard harisund?
[08:08] <lakcaj> LPub: have you tried changing the font specifically for gnome-terminal?
[08:08] <oskude> LPub, but first try to search if someone had the same problem alllready ;)

[08:08] <Ademan> can you uninstall software from source?
[08:08] <seany> ern:  i didn't know what it was either
[08:08] <lakcaj> LPub: in Edit -> Current Profile?
[08:08] <harisund> !paste
[08:08] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[08:08] <harisund> ern ^^
[08:08] <LPub> lakcaj, how do I do that?
[08:08] <livingdaylight> anyone have Ubuntu for Beginners by Keir Thomas?
[08:08] <oskude> Ademan, you mean after "sudo make install" ?
[08:08] <jrib> Ademan: yes, the best way is to install it using checkinstall.  That will create a package so that you can manage it with apt
[08:08] <neutrinomass> Ademan: If you still have the sources around, you might want to try "make uninstall"
[08:09] <lakcaj> LPub: at the top of the terminal, go into Edit -> Current Profile
[08:09] <ern> ok
[08:09] <nofx_br> damn....there is no root in ubuntu? hehe.. i made another account and now it dosent get my 1st account pass as root...

[08:09] <stefg> !root
[08:09] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:09] <Ademan> neutrinomass: ok, but if that's not the case, then try checkinstall?
[08:09] <neutrinomass> Ademan: You might want to try 'checkinstall' but keep in mind that you should not distribute the .debs you produce (dependency problems )
[08:09] <harisund> There is a URL in that... go to that, and you can paste stuff.. thenit will give you a url .. which you can type in here, so that I can go to that URL and look at what you have pasted
[08:09] <harisund> ern ^^
[08:09] <jrib> ubotu: tell Ademan about checkinstall
[08:10] <lakcaj> LPub: uncheck the "use system font" and try something like bitstream mono
[08:10] <nofx_br> yup.. i know.... the problem is all pass are wrong...
[08:10] <neutrinomass> Ademan: If you didn't install it using checkinstall, then you have to find the sources somewhere :( Checkinstall only helps when you installed the program using it...
[08:10] <jrib> nofx_br: it's the user's password
[08:10] <twitch> thanks, the w32codecs solved everything, but i still have a problem
[08:10] <Kensey> you should see a line that says something like "default kernel options" in menu.lst
[08:10] <Ademan> neutrinomass: yeah, but i guess my question was more if i have the sources around still can i uninstall, and it sounds like the answer is yes
[08:11] <LPub> lakcaj, there seem to be some font's that work...I'll get on it. THANKS!!!!

[08:11] <lakcaj> LPub: np
[08:11] <neutrinomass> Ademan: Yes, with "make uninstall" :)
[08:11] <lakcaj> Ademan: you can try "make uninstall"
[08:11] <__mikem> Does anyone know how I can time the execution of a program
[08:11] <Ademan> thanks
[08:11] <oskude> twitch, can you give an url of site that is "messed up" under linux ?
[08:11] <stefg> twitch: dpi-setting in firefox's preferences, msttcorefonts
[08:11] <Kensey> you can append vga=791 to the end of the default kernel options line
[08:12] <twitch> www.break.com
[08:12] <lakcaj> Ademan: or, create a .deb with checkinstall using the same method you compiled with first, then install that deb and then remove it.  It should overwrite the files, and then delete them when you remove the package using apt.
[08:12] <ardchoille> __mikem: time <command here>

[08:13] <oskude> twitch, try "ctrl+-" to "zoom" out, so the menu fits in its space (very lame coded)
[08:13] <Kensey> you don't normally log in as root, you do things via sudo

[08:13] <andax> which package contains the command line "mail" program?
[08:13] <Kensey> so you would say "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" and enter your user password

[08:13] <ardchoille> nofx_br: the root account is disabled, for security reasons. Use sudo and your user pass for admin tasks.

[08:16] <lakcaj> livingdaylight: if someone did, and wanted you to know that information, they would have replied to one of you many previous comments asking the same question.
[08:16] <snozle> ok, for anyone interested, I fixed my problem with the printer...it was a common one on the forums.  First I completely uninstalled the cups packages and then reinstalled them and was able to get the menu back up on system>administration>printers then I changed the printer to a different model, then removed it and then set it to the correct model
[08:17] <oogy> nothing that i can find that's hda related
[08:17] <livingdaylight> lakcaj: sorry, don't mean to annoy. but messages do get overlooked and new people come in, therefore i thought it ok to ask periodically

[08:19] <alfonso> fdghrthgr
[08:20] <oogy> vesa is not running, nop

[08:23] <seany> soundray: i'm looking around, some one else was asking me about thisearlier
[08:23] <Kensey> don't uncomment that line, just append the option to it
[08:23] <nofx_br> ok..everything is commented here....
[08:23] <nofx_br> its the only line in this paragraph
[08:23] <Kensey> yeah, that's normal
[08:23] <erik_> I've installed the NVidia driver via Synaptic. And changed 'nv' in xorg.conf to 'nvidia'

[08:24] <nofx_br> im liking ubuntu...really user friendly..
[08:24] <soundray> seany: I appreciate your help.
[08:24] <stefg> _Arvydas_: ... and get the 'alternate'-Installation-CD's... I think, it's less pain to install in textmode. Given the commdity hardware you have, it should just install fine
[08:24] <nofx_br> gonna pass this cd to all my win-losers-users friends heheh
[08:25] <ardchoille> nofx_br: Ubuntu CD?
[08:25] <erik_> Yep, I did install nvidia-glx (NVidia Quadro NVS 120M TurboCache)
[08:25] <Kensey> OK, instead of the default boot option line, look for one that says "additional options to use with the default boot option" a couple sections down
[08:26] <erik_> The NVidia splash shows when X starts
[08:26] <ardchoille> nofx_br: go to Ship It site and order yourself a bunch of Ubuntu CD's, they're free :)

[08:26] <homerh_linux> hiya can anyone help me i now set samaba up and can see my linux box in my windows conection but cant access it and now i can see all my windows pc but only read only
[08:26] <_Arvydas_> stefg: hello again, could you figure out with that post which was the error reason?
[08:26] <oskude> erik_, ah ok
[08:26] <Kensey> put the vga=775 at the end of that one.  It should look like this:
[08:26] <stefg> scroll up, i made some comments ther
[08:26] <oskude> erik_, and whats the problem ?
[08:26] <Kensey> # defoptions=quiet splash vga=775
[08:26] <monomaniacpat> Anyone here used KaudioCreator?
[08:27] <_Arvydas_> stefg: I'm sorry but since I had a trouble with my firewall I couldnt receive those messages :S
[08:27] <genius> !ghost
[08:27] <ubotu> On IRC, if you own a nick that is currently being used, you can make it quit by typing: /msg nickserv GHOST <username> <password>
[08:27] <erik_> oskude, card should be alike. Al works in X. Problem is that when i switch to another console ctrl-alt-f1 , the screen goes blank
[08:27] <Kensey> then take the vga=775 off the other line if you didn't already
[08:27] <Kensey> then save, close, and reboot
[08:27] <stefg> _Arvydas_: ... and get the 'alternate'-Installation-CD's... I think, it's less pain to install in textmode. Given the commdity hardware you have, it should just install fine
[08:28] <Kensey> then if it doesn't work, come to my office and give me a swift kick in the butt :)
[08:28] <cdubya> soundray, have you looked at or do you have a /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.old?
[08:28] <erik_> oskude, So I won't get a promt. but I still can switch back to my X console
[08:28] <oskude> erik_, yeah, i had that on my notebook and ati too (except my screen went smoothly white, and nothing worked after that) hmm, what did i do...
[08:28] <oskude> erik_, whats your screen resolution and bit depth in x window ?
[08:28] <Orgullomoore> would my Internet disconnect if I use up all the bandwidth...or how would that work?
[08:29] <_Arvydas_> thanks for the help
[08:29] <stefg> there are a couple of reports on problems with you hardware, but nothing serious. I think it's just a bug in the Live-CD installer (which is very new). Install from the text-mode CD's will work, I think
[08:29] <erik_> oskude, 1920x1200
[08:29] <Orgullomoore> I suppose a better way to phrase the question is: if I use more bandwidth than I should, would and IRC connection disconnect?
[08:29] <Orgullomoore> (or perhaps not :P)
[08:30] <soundray> cdubya: I have a /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. It contains examples for basic key-based setup -- nothing about certificates, where to place them etc.
[08:30] <oskude> erik_, and 24bit colors ?
[08:30] <seany> soundray: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=36761&highlight=wpa+peap
[08:30] <erik_> oskude, right
[08:30] <compengi> stefg, at what speed had you burned your cd
[08:30] <cdubya> soundray, just wondering, because mine has LOTS of examples about different configs, including that stuff....
[08:30] <oskude> erik_, then you could try to add "vga=791" to boot options
[08:30] <stefg> !download > _Arvydas_
[08:30] <erik_> oskude, where do i put that?
[08:30] <oskude> erik_, im not sure if thats the solution, but i have it so atm
[08:31] <stefg> compengi: i don't burn... I install from ISO-files :-)
[08:31] <cpt1337> someone know a terminalprogram with bookmarks? like putty/securecrt
[08:31] <oskude> erik_, in /boot/grub/menu.lst at the end of "kernel" line
[08:31] <compengi> :O mounting
[08:31] <oskude> erik_, or you can allso ad it "temporarly" at boot time
[08:32] <oskude> erik_, in grub (at boot) select the entry you want to boot, press "e" and select the line with "kernel" and add "vga=791" to the end, then press "b" to boot it
[08:32] <nofx_br> Kensey: tnx man... probs here.. read your message..... will put defoptions=quiet splash vga=775 there.....
[08:33] <soundray> cdubya: I think I saw an extensively documented wpa_supplicant.conf sample somewhere -- I'll look it up again, thanks
[08:33] <soundray> seany: that looks very promising, thank you!
[08:33] <monomaniacpat> What files would I need to remove in order to uninstall ubuntu, but retain kubuntu?
[08:33] <debug_away> mounting is slow, extracting is better
[08:33] <stefg> monomaniacpat: apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[08:34] <Kensey> make sure you add the vga=775 to the line that's there, don't add a new defoptions line
[08:34] <monomaniacpat> stefg: is that all? Just if you remember I'm having ubuntu-only kbd issues
[08:34] <stefg> monomaniacpat: or better : sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop
[08:34] <_absolution_> hey all....why am I getting a .php script download when I'm trying to get into a webpage?
[08:34] <stefg> *sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop*
[08:35] <coopster> _absolution_: the server that is hosting that web page is not correctly configured
[08:35] <stefg> But that only works in theory
[08:35] <jrib> _absolution_: that's a server side problem most likely
[08:35] <gdb> That won't remove GNOME.
[08:35] <oskude> _absolution_, got a link ? or is that locally on youre machine ?
[08:35] <seany> stefg: what's the difference between ; and && on the command line when executing something?
[08:35] <_absolution_> ok
[08:35] <Kensey> that raises a question: if, say, I wanted to copmpletely remove KDE from my machine, how would I?
[08:35] <gdb> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde.php
[08:35] <stefg> but wait... monomaniacpat removing the metapackage won't kill gnome
[08:35] <nofx_br> hey.. what you guys think about cedega ?

[08:35] <gdb> Kensey: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome.php
[08:35] <Kensey> (I have both GNOME and KDE installed)
[08:36] <Kensey> aha :)
[08:36] <coopster> seany:  ; indicates that all commands should be run, regardless of what happens,    && indicates that if the previous command exits on an error, the next command should not be run
[08:36] <stefg> it's not as easy as that at a closer look
[08:36] <gdb> Everyone here needs to bookmark this page now: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php
[08:36] <gdb> Yes, this means you.
[08:36] <monomaniacpat> any way to kill gnome, then?
[08:36] <seany> coopster: interesting good to know :)
[08:36] <Kensey> Sir, yes sir, gdb sir!
[08:36] <gdb> lol
[08:37] <Kensey> *bookmarks*
[08:37] <seany> cpt1337: you could make a little script in a directory just for starting ssh sessions
[08:37] <ern> i trying to reinstall but i think the sources.list have same problem
[08:37] <monomaniacpat> back in 20, PM me if you come up with anything
[08:37] <cpt1337> seany: thats not very good when you have 50 ssh servers
[08:37] <ern> it says cant find the files
[08:38] <cydrive> Can someone help me with VMWare i have  windows me boot disk now how do i make a virtual machine?
[08:38] <Edvinas> where is grub.lst file?
[08:38] <snozle> I want to set up my ubuntu computer for remote access, I've configured it with system>settings>remote desktop...can someone tell me what ports to forward so I can access this from an external IP?
[08:38] <stefg> monomaniacpat: try to remove the main gnome-lib (can't remember the name), that will cause apt to remove all gnome-packages depending on it
[08:38] <oskude> Edvinas, you mean /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
[08:38] <seany> cpt1337: you only have to make each script once :D. how often are you really logging into each and every one of them?  keeping an easy to get to spreadsheet isn't good enough?
[08:39] <Edvinas> oskude, thanks
[08:39] <Kensey> nofx, I'll be right back, if you have problems let me know when I come back
[08:39] <stefg> but make sure to reinstall kubuntu-desktop afterwards, it might as well need some gnome-libs
[08:39] <cpt1337> seany: when you work maintaining scripts isnt the thing you wanna do
[08:39] <nofx_br> Kensey: tnx a lot man.. i'm installing updates here...gonna reboot after it
[08:40] <ern> i trying to reinstall but i think the sources.list have same problem. it can't find the files
[08:40] <oskude> cpt1337, you know that bash has history ?
[08:40] <cydrive> can someone here help me with VMware?
[08:40] <seany> cpt1337: point taken. i'm just not seeing how "ssh host" is really that much simpler than using a terminal program that has lots of different things saved in it
[08:40] <cpt1337> oskude: are you serious?
[08:40] <_absolution_> is there a panel bar in xfce?
[08:40] <Hexidigital_> gdb:: no XGL install walkthrough on that page??
[08:41] <Srecko> Hello
[08:41] <nofx_br> anyone tryed cedega ? sux having to go win just as videogame
[08:41] <seany> cpt1337: either way you need to know what your connecting to. you could just stuff the short host name into your hosts file and be done with it?
[08:41] <Srecko> I was just curious about one thing (how live distro worx)
[08:41] <cpt1337> seany: i use securecrt atm and looking for a simular setup on my linux workstation
[08:42] <Srecko> I guess if i create some users, change the desktop and some settings, will they be kept when I start Linux again?
[08:42] <seany> cpt1337: ok... how is that simpler than filling a hosts file once,and just using "ssh host"
[08:42] <Srecko> anyone? :P
[08:42] <jrib> Srecko: no
[08:42] <Srecko> so I thought
[08:43] <Srecko> Thank you
[08:43] <Srecko> Reasonable...
[08:43] <jrib> Srecko: although you could set up a partition to save your settings I guess, but then you might as well install it :)
[08:43] <Adium> Dapper has crashed on me more times since it became final then windows 98 ever did in a day!
[08:43] <seany> cpt1337: that said. i've never used a graphical terminal program in *nix, ssh from the command line has always worked fine
[08:43] <seany> blast, he left
[08:43] <Srecko> jrib, I will surely install it, but not sure about installing Kubuntu... ;)
[08:44] <bobcat190> :'( could someone please help me install ubuntu....pm me or what ever
[08:44] <Srecko> bobcat190, it's easy, just follow the instructions...
[08:44] <cydrive> can someone please help with with creating a virtual machine using CMware
[08:44] <bobcat190> lmao
[08:44] <seany> jrib: it would be neat if you could sync your settings and ~/ to a flash drive or something
[08:44] <ubuntu-user92635> hello, I have question about those nice yellow system popups
[08:44] <bobcat190> it freezes at the step-2...
[08:44] <seany> jrib: not that you can't now, but simply
[08:45] <jrib> seany: yeah I agree
[08:45] <kalosaurusrex> !helpme
[08:45] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:45] <Wipster> whats the package for making and compiling things, someone told me what it was but I'v reinstalled and forgotten
[08:45] <ubuntu-user92635> How to program your own yellow popup?
[08:45] <jrib> Wipster: build-essential
[08:45] <seany> Wipster: gcc ?
[08:45] <bobcat190> and i tryed it on 3 comps...same thing i tryed diff discs too
[08:45] <riddlebox> can I use some debian packages in ubuntu or can they only be ubuntu packages?
[08:46] <Wipster> ah thankyou jrib
[08:46] <Srecko> freezes? :P
[08:46] <kalosaurusrex> riddlebox:  ubuntu is debian based..you can use deb packages..
[08:46] <Srecko> get a new cd (shipit.ubuntu.org)
[08:46] <Srecko> I think...
[08:46] <jrib> riddlebox: you should only use ubuntu packages, not all debian packages will work properly
[08:47] <oskude> riddlebox, some libraries are not the same versions in debian and ubuntu, so it may or maynot work...
[08:47] <seany> riddlebox: i've used  few debian packages here and there, it gets kind of weird when the package you install doesn't exist in any kind of repository that you've added to your sources.list. because dependencies can be named differently etc
[08:47] <ubuntu-user92635> How to get custom yellow popup, as the one about upgrades, with custom text?
[08:47] <oskude> riddlebox, but the package "format" should be same...
[08:47] <edu> hi
[08:48] <Wipster> sigh ok I have forgotten the command to download it and install the package :/ someone?
[08:49] <edu> Windows XP can see my Kubuntu on the network, but can't see shared folders
[08:49] <seany> Wipster: sudo apt-get install package ?
[08:49] <edu> what's wrong?
[08:49] <dngldoof> hey, I'm having problems installing Flash and Mplayer. I already read a couple of HOWTO's and tried to install both, but they're not working properly.
[08:49] <nofx_br> dngldoof: what version of flash?
[08:49] <Wipster> damn it I was putting a - there lol cheres guys
[08:49] <cydrive> can someone help me with VMware please
[08:49] <fujy> dngl problem?
[08:49] <fujy> try to add some extra repository
[08:50] <coopster> dngldoof: do you use the 64-bit ubuntu?
[08:50] <kalosaurusrex> dngldoof: automatix makes that easy..
[08:50] <dngldoof> nofx_br: well the latest update.
[08:50] <nofx_br> flash 8 isnt avaiable to linux..... they promessed flash 9 for linux in december
[08:50] <seany> cyphase: what's the problem?
[08:50] <dngldoof> coopster: nope. I'm running an AMD Athlon/Duron @ 800mhz
[08:50] <nofx_br> the only way to get flash 8 is trought wine... (i heard)
[08:50] <dgl> hi folks
[08:50] <dgl> I am trying to install dapper server
[08:50] <Snurf> Hello
[08:51] <dngldoof> nofx_br: ok. What version should I try?
[08:51] <kalosaurusrex> !helpme
[08:51] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:51] <nofx_br> try installing version 7
[08:51] <dgl> After installation is finished, the system reboot
[08:51] <nofx_br> should be a linux download for it
[08:51] <edu> Kubuntu appears in MS Network, but XP can't see the Kubuntu shared folders
[08:51] <edu> why?
[08:51] <fujy> dngldoof, did you look at www.ubuntuguide.org ?
[08:51] <dgl> it pass show grub menu
[08:51] <linux_user400354> does the dvd iso of ubuntu come with more software? what is the difference between it and the cd iso?
[08:51] <dgl> I choose first choice and the system boot again...
[08:52] <dgl> Anybody know what has gone wrong?
[08:52] <dngldoof> fujy: actually I did! :)
[08:52] <fujy> dngldoof,  but i recommand you xine
[08:52] <fujy> :)
[08:52] <scifi> can someone remind what the command is to depckage and run a .deb file ?
[08:52] <edu> I installed SAMBA and I configured it through the GUI...
[08:52] <fujy> dngldoof,  did you added the extra repository list?
[08:52] <dngldoof> fujy: I also tried to install 'Easyubuntu', but it gave me error messages..
[08:52] <fujy> dngldoof,  did you added the extra repository list?
[08:52] <linux_user400354> scif "dpkg --install package.deb"
[08:52] <nareshov> install- dpkg -i ***.deb
[08:53] <dimi_> rver irc.idealirc.net
[08:53] <kalosaurusrex> dlg: can you try asking your question all in one sentence rather than 5?  the room moves fast, don't really have the patience to re-read, scroll up, etc.
[08:53] <fujy> i'd install mplayer with sudo apt-get install mplayer ...
[08:53] <dgl> Hi, after dapper server installation, the system just reboot whan trying to startup system, does anybody know what has gone wrong?
[08:53] <fujy> but i'd also added some extra servers for the repository
[08:53] <dngldoof> fujy: well I've installed several.. Mplayer wanted to install lots of stuff and add repositories.
[08:53] <linux_user400354> dgl your default run level is 1
[08:54] <dgl> linux_user400354: why?
[08:54] <dgl> linux_user400354: I just choose default server installation, it shouldnt be run level 1
[08:54] <edu> I wanna change my computer workgroup, how could I do this?
[08:54] <fujy> dngldoof, i take the list from www.ubuntuguide.org for repository
[08:54] <dngldoof> fujy: but I'll try to add those in the Ubuntuguide list
[08:55] <fujy> then sudo apt-get update
[08:55] <dngldoof> fujy: :)
[08:55] <nareshov> edu: system > administration > sharing >
[08:55] <fujy> and after i've installed mplayer and flash plugin
[08:55] <linux_user400354> dgl use the alternate installer instead. it has been tested more and has less bugs in it.
[08:55] <fujy> and is worked
[08:55] <edu> nareshov: yes, but I can't find that option
[08:55] <tenzin_> what "path" has the "ubuntu- sound output device"???
[08:56] <foxiness> on ff the fash work on some site,but other site not and i dont know why?!
[08:56] <caonex> hello I am using dapper and I have just discovered that when i set the clock in gnome to locatime, as opposed to UTC, the time is kept in UTC. When I choose UTC it is kept in localtime. I noticed this by using hwclock --locatime and hwclock they both show the right time, and the /etc/adjtime says UTC althought I had changed it to localtime, any ideas?
[08:56] <foxiness> flash*
[08:56] <oskude> tenzin_, /dev/dsp
[08:56] <caonex> By right time, I mean the right respective time, either in UTC or local
[08:56] <ariel_> hello everyone
[08:56] <edu> nareshov: workgroup option is not present
[08:57] <tenzin_> oskude: thx
[08:57] <oskude> tenzin_, or /dev/dsp1 or /dev/dsp2 or so...
[08:57] <_xxx_> I'm having some bad Synaptic problems, says it can't find archive.ubuntu.com repos
[08:57] <nareshov> edu: edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf directly
[08:57] <edu> nareshov: that sounds hard...
[08:57] <_xxx_> Sometimes it can find security.ubuntu.com.repos, sometimes not
[08:58] <dgl> linux_user400354: I dont believe that I will spend more one hour, burn one more cd and reinstall all things...
[08:58] <nareshov> edu: :D
[08:58] <Shadix> I was getting incredibly frustrated, but then I came up with this bright idea to get help here.
[08:58] <Snurf> I need someone who can help me with my audio that will not work.
[08:58] <StR> hi all
[08:58] <dngldoof> fujy, are you using Dapper?
[08:58] <dgl> linux_user400354: this is making me crazy
[08:58] <StR> I do not find PDO for PHP in dapper.... is it only my problem?
[08:59] <seany> /exit so long and thanks for all the fish
[08:59] <dgl> linux_user400354: is there a way to change my default run level without reinstall all things?
[08:59] <cyphase> seany, i think you meant cydrive :)
[08:59] <_xxx_> I just got my dapper cds and want to install it xubuntu style
[09:00] <bobcat190> :'( could someone please help me install ubuntu it keeps frezzing....pm me or what ever
[09:00] <_xxx_> But if it can't find the repos how can i?
[09:00] <cyphase> bobcat190: what exactly is happening
[09:00] <monomaniacpat> OK - anyone know how to uninstall gnome?
[09:00] <bobcat190> it is on setp 2 where you pick where u live and time....it never loads all the way
[09:01] <cyphase> does the computer freeze, or just the installer program?
[09:01] <_xxx_> Is there something up with the breezy repos or is it just me?
[09:01] <Shadix> I installed FGLRX and got it working, is there anything else I have to get Hardware Acceleration or can I presume it's already working?
[09:01] <oskude> bobcat190, try "check cd" option at boot to see if the cd is ok
[09:01] <bobcat190> it acts like it's loading...but after like an hr it never does and will freezz
[09:01] <cyphase> hmm
[09:02] <bobcat190> ive tryed like 8 difff cds i got
[09:02] <KingAztech> Yo
[09:02] <dgl> bobcat190: my ubuntu is restarting after load grub
[09:02] <_xxx_> :((
[09:02] <linux_user400354> dgl, the only  way you can change anything is to use a live cd and mount your partitions because you said your computer reboots as soon as it comes up
[09:02] <cyphase> bobcat190: i don't know
[09:02] <KingAztech> How do i create a shared particion folder? (/fat 32)
[09:02] <bobcat190> ty anyways
[09:02] <nareshov> sharing between what and what?
[09:02] <oskude> bobcat190, and youre sure the images are ok ? (did that check cd option tell you that the cd is ok?)
[09:03] <KingAztech> sharing between windows and ubuntu
[09:03] <cyphase> my installer was crashing at partitioning/copying, but that was because of a bad memory card
[09:03] <bobcat190> no....
[09:03] <nareshov> is the partition already present or you want to create on anew?
[09:03] <nentis> latest dapper kernel, 2.6.15-25-686 is causing some slowness with X. (or at least the Xorg process is taking up weird bits of CPU)
[09:03] <dgl> linux_user400354: man, I cant belive that they launched a CD with this bug
[09:03] <KingAztech> i want to create a new one
[09:03] <nentis> how can I debug this to file a bug report?
[09:03] <nareshov> in windows create the new partition
[09:04] <dgl> linux_user400354: I think that there is something worng, but cant be CD or ubuntu
[09:04] <nareshov> then boot into linux
[09:04] <linux_user400354> dgl, you might have some hardware that the cd has not been tested on
[09:04] <cyphase> nentis, i think that kernel has problems. X crashed soon after i loaded it
[09:04] <nentis> 2.6.15-23-386 does not experience these issues.
[09:04] <nareshov> do # sudo fdisk -l
[09:04] <KingAztech> how can i create a particion? (pm me in private please)
[09:04] <dgl> linux_user400354: I ve tested with 2 machines!
[09:04] <monomaniacpat> tips to kills gnome, anyone?
[09:04] <dgl> linux_user400354: both do same things
[09:04] <soccio> Hi, everybody.
[09:05] <linux_user400354> dgl, i had to use the alternate installer because i had problems too
[09:05] <shwag> I am logged into a machine with a LSI Logical Fusion-MPT SCSI controller. Is there any way to get additional information about the drive configuration from the command line, or is this only possible in the cards BIOS ?
[09:05] <nentis> cyphase: good to get confirmation.  Might be too much to debug for my available time/expertise.
[09:05] <soccio> Could you tell me which package I should install to get the file "libXrender.la"?
[09:05] <oskude> monomaniacpat, killall gdm
[09:05] <Adium> is any one else getting random crashes with dapper?
[09:05] <Adium> seems like the development was far more stable then the final
[09:06] <dgl> linux_user400354: It is a unforgiven bug, that is too serius
[09:06] <Adium> 6 times in the space of 2 hours :\
[09:06] <oskude> monomaniacpat, or you search processes with "ps aux" and kill with "kill PID" (the PID is in the output of "ps aux")
[09:06] <cyphase> nentis, i had the 3d driver enabled though. maybe that's a factor
[09:06] <vlt> Hello. I installed ubuntu dapper. How do I manage the printers in CUPS? Do I have to edit the conf files manually or can I grant access to the web interface somewhere?
[09:06] <jordan_> ok, does anyone know ow to set up swfdec 0.3.6 for PPC?
[09:06] <soundray> Adium: it's rock solid here on several machines. Check your memory perhaps?
[09:06] <Adium> done it still dont know whats going on
[09:06] <monomaniacpat> oskude: maybe the wrong terms - I want to uninstall gnome and reinstall
[09:06] <riddlebox> oskude, would a  suite like mythtv be ok to get from a debian repository or for that should I stick to ubuntu packages for it?
[09:06] <cyphase> Adium: i had the same kind of problems. it was bad memory
[09:07] <KingAztech> vppvvpvp , .
[09:07] <soundray> Adium: how did you check the memory?
[09:07] <Adium> first i thought i was just ut2004
[09:07] <oskude> vlt, i istalled my printer in system-administration-printing
[09:07] <jordan_> ello?
[09:07] <Adium> by buying a new one
[09:07] <Adium> it did the same thing
[09:07] <Shadix> so yeah, I'm having some trouble with XGL on my ATI Radeon 9250 (The card itself works fine from as far as I know.)
[09:07] <jordan_> can anyone guide me through setting up swfdec for PPC?
[09:08] <jrattner1> !xgl
[09:08] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[09:08] <soundray> Adium: run memtest86 for at least one night. It could be a mainboard fault, too, and there's a chance that memtest86 will expose it.
[09:08] <oskude> riddlebox, i would say _definetly_ use ubunta packages for that... but actually no idea :)
[09:08] <vlt> oskude: Whatis this?
[09:08] <Adium> could it be xgl ?
[09:08] <linux_user400354> what are the minimum video card requirements for xgl?
[09:08] <jordan_> 2 mf
[09:08] <jordan_> mb
[09:08] <oskude> monomaniacpat, hmm, sorry, never had to reinstall gnome... so i dont know how the package is called
[09:09] <Rambo3> i would guess video card capable of 3d acc
[09:09] <Adium> ubuntu-desktop should install gnome
[09:09] <tr1gg3r> monomaniacpat: why?
[09:09] <oskude> vlt, you have System in the menu on the top screen ?
[09:09] <soundray> Adium: yes it could -- but again, possibly a hardware problem (graphics card?)
[09:09] <soccio> linux_user400354: I'm using XGL with Nvidia 5500 128MB and a duron 700 Mhz.
[09:09] <jimcooncat> I can't find the command: How do I get IP addresses of all computers on local network?
[09:09] <monomaniacpat> tr1gg3r: because it crashed all the time when using the kbd
[09:09] <Rambo3> slow computer for the slow user?
[09:10] <soundray> Adium: but disabling Xgl is an easy diagnostic pathway for now.
[09:10] <jordan_> HOW DO I SET UP SWFDEC FOR PPC. USING DAPPER DRAKE
[09:10] <Adium> yea think i may try that
[09:10] <jordan_> ANSWER
[09:10] <jordan_> HELP
[09:10] <Adium> seems only when ut2004 is running
[09:10] <jordan_> PLEASE
[09:10] <oskude> !caps
[09:10] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[09:10] <vlt> oskude: Oh, I have no GUI on this machine ...
[09:10] <monomaniacpat> would getting rid of ubuntu-desktop get rid of gnome?
[09:10] <Shadix> so yeah, it doesn't seem to even attempt to load any of the special features.  keyboard shortcuts don't work, and when I open an application it gets lodged in the top left corner of the screen without the top part and then gnome tends to freeze.
[09:10] <jordan_> LOL
[09:10] <gdb> jordan_: 1. Press your CAPS LOCK key until the green light turns off.
[09:10] <tr1gg3r> monomaniacpat: i would guess an X issue rather than gnome
[09:11] <jimcooncat> I can't find the command: How do I get IP addresses of all computers on local network?
[09:11] <Shadix> covering the menus
[09:11] <Shadix> *menu
[09:11] <oskude> vlt, doh :/ but cups has a web interface... forgot the url/port
[09:11] <gdb> jordan_: 2. If that doesn't work, type the command "/part #ubuntu" in your IRC client (without quotes).
[09:11] <murmlos> Anyone has an Agere network card?
[09:11] <soundray> jimcooncat: try a broadcast ping, e.g. ping -b 192.168.1.255
[09:11] <monomaniacpat> tr1gg3r: if that was the case, would kde work? Cos that's the situation
[09:11] <jimcooncat> thanks soundray !
[09:11] <jordan_> done !
[09:11] <jordan_> lol
[09:11] <oskude> vlt, i think it was just localhost:xxx where "xxx" is the port i dont know anymore
[09:11] <dgl> Does anyone know where I change default run level?
[09:12] <jordan_> lol
[09:12] <tr1gg3r> monomaniacpat: no ubuntu-desktop is a meta pkg, u can try to apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop and than look for its gnome dependencies (which may also be meta pkgs) and repeat until u get to pkgs that are not meta pkgs
[09:12] <jordan_> LOL
[09:12] <jolmash> hello all, could someone help me on configure SSH to use portfowarding? I mean, configure in my router some public port and use the private port 22
[09:12] <_xxx_> Is there something wrong with the breezy repos at archive.ubuntu.com or is it just me?
[09:12] <scorchblade> is there a .iso (besides the live CD) for installing a full-on user setup?  the CD seeking/reading is painful.
[09:12] <vlt> oskude: Yes, I'm talking about the web interface. But admin things are disabled fpr security reason. Bit I want to add/start/stop printers. How to enable it again?
[09:12] <jimcooncat> jolmash, I'll help
[09:12] <oskude> vlt, well forget that with localhost (or do you use lynx in console :) so it would be just the ip of that machine and port
[09:13] <Shadix> lol, this channel seems to move too fast.
[09:13] <vlt> oskude: lynx
[09:13] <jolmash> jimcooncat: thank you! how can I do that?
[09:13] <vlt> It's port 631
[09:13] <soundray> !netinstall
[09:13] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[09:13] <lonran> how can i export my private key created with gpg to a file?
[09:13] <jimcooncat> jolmash, make a .ssh/config file
[09:13] <jordan_> tHaNkS for jumping to help me and all of your support
[09:13] <soundray> scorchblade: ^^
[09:13] <jordan_> ...jerks
[09:13] <oskude> vlt, ok. hmm, its like years that i last used that webinterface :/
[09:13] <_xxx_> :((
[09:13] <WOLFdude> hi
[09:13] <jolmash> jimcooncat: in my home?
[09:14] <KidAztech> Can someone PM the instructions on how to create a shared particion folder?
[09:14] <jimcooncat> jolmash, yes, ~/.ssh/config
[09:14] <jolmash> jimcooncat: ok
[09:14] <jimcooncat> in that put your forward commands: ...
[09:14] <tr1gg3r> monomaniacpat: if kde works and gnome doesnt prolly not x related, but i would look at what else is running that is different between gnome and kde, u might also try deleting ur .gnome (or .gnome2 i forget) dirs and restarting gnome
[09:14] <compengi> can someone show me how to use g++ to compile a file?
[09:14] <WOLFdude> how come i cant connect to my shaed folder on ubuntu from xp, the login comes up but my pw isn't the same as my login pwfor ubuntu, please help anyone?
[09:14] <jimcooncat> Like "LocalForward 9192 localhost:9192
[09:14] <jimcooncat> " for my webcam port
[09:14] <vlt> Does anyone know how to enable the disabled admin functions in CUPS web interface?
[09:15] <WOLFdude> how come i cant connect to my shaed folder on ubuntu from xp, the login comes up but my pw isn't the same as my login pwfor ubuntu, please help anyone?
[09:15] <tr1gg3r> compengi: man g++
[09:15] <jolmash> jimcooncat: I have created the file? now?
[09:15] <Adium> Has any one got Xgl to work on a non ATI, Nvidia notebook/laptop yet?
[09:15] <jimcooncat> jolmash, what specifically are you trying to forward?
[09:15] <compengi> lol
[09:15] <WOLFdude> how come i cant connect to my shaed folder on ubuntu from xp, the login comes up but my pw isn't the same as my login pwfor ubuntu, please help anyone?
[09:15] <jolmash> jimcooncat: 5060 to 22
[09:15] <compengi> tr1gg3r, i know that it's g++
[09:15] <tr1gg3r> WOLFdude: samba uses its own logins
[09:15] <edu> WOLFdude: same situation, help!
[09:15] <edu> xD
[09:15] <oskude> WOLFdude, i assume the share uses samba, and i assume samba uses its own user database, but i never used samba...
[09:15] <compengi> tr1gg3r, but how to use it on a file
[09:15] <WOLFdude> how doi configure samba?
[09:15] <jrib> compengi: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/C%2B%2B_Programming/Hello_world
[09:16] <Jack1> hi guys!
[09:16] <tr1gg3r> compengi: read the man page and u will learn
[09:16] <jimcooncat> jolmash, it's going through 22. you trying to forward port 5060 both ways.
[09:16] <gdb> WOLFdude: $ sudo smbpsaswd -a username
[09:16] <jolmash> jimcooncat: 5060 as public port in my router (to access remotely) and forwarded to 22
[09:16] <gdb> WOLFdude: On the Ubuntu machine, set the password as the one you intend to login from Windows with.
[09:16] <Jack1> how would i make grip faster to rip and would that have worse output as result?
[09:16] <gdb> WOLFdude: That password is separate from the one in /etc/shadow.
[09:16] <compengi> the thing is that i'm downloading and i can't browse while doing it
[09:16] <gdb> er smbpasswd
[09:16] <compengi> =/
[09:16] <pandora_> macro `AM_PATH_GTK' not found in library
[09:17] <pandora_> how can i resolve that?
[09:17] <WOLFdude> thank youso much!!!!!
[09:17] <murmlos> Anyone has an Agere network card?
[09:17] <tr1gg3r> compengi: g++ file
[09:17] <gdb> WOLFdude: Sure thing, I hope that works for you.  That's what works for me!
[09:17] <WOLFdude> wait where doiput the pw?
[09:17] <edu> gdb: my windows users haven't password
[09:17] <compengi> tr1gg3r, wherever is the file?
[09:17] <linux_user400354> dgl you can change the default run level in /etc/inittab
[09:17] <jimcooncat> jolmash, so you can get to port 22 on your machine? Sorry, it sounds a bit weird. Why not have sshd listen on port 5060?
[09:18] <Shadix> is aiglx + ATI possible?
[09:18] <gdb> edu: smbpasswd sets the share password
[09:18] <Shadix> *fglrx
[09:18] <jolmash> jimcooncat: cause 22 it is a very know port
[09:18] <pandora_> where would AM_PATH_GTK be located?
[09:18] <tr1gg3r> compengi: no idea what u r asking
[09:18] <linux_user400354> scorchblade, use the alternate installer
[09:18] <_xxx_> I access internet by using a gsm cellphone as a gprs modem, could that be why Synaptic can't read repos?
[09:18] <jolmash> jimcooncat: I want to use 5060 external port due to security risk
[09:19] <compengi> nvm
[09:19] <Pyrotoxin> does anyone here use nero 7? I'm trying to burn some .iso's to install ubuntu but the nero 7 interface is all graphical and no real menus
[09:19] <jimcooncat> jolmash, right, it's a pain to be pounded on port 22
[09:19] <compengi> ty tr1gg3r
[09:19] <tr1gg3r> np
[09:19] <jolmash> jimcooncat: but I want to use 22 internal port, this way I don't need to change the port in all machines
[09:19] <oskude> Shadix, fglrx is for ati radeon cards, or what do you asked ?
[09:19] <edu> gdb: then, I set the share password, and then?
[09:19] <jimcooncat> jolmash, you can have sshd listen on both 22 and 5060
[09:20] <Shadix> oskude: I'm asking if it is possible to install aiglx using the FGLRX drivers.
[09:20] <tr1gg3r> jolmash: use iptables on ur ssh server machine to redirect port XXXX to port 22 on the same machine
[09:20] <gdb> edu: Map a network drive from Windows.  You'll need to check off "Login with a different username and password" in the dialog.  Enter the username and password on the Linux machine (the one you set with smbpasswd).
[09:20] <jimcooncat> I do that here (with another port number), and only have the router open on the other port number
[09:20] <linux_user400354> soundray what is a broadcast ping?
[09:20] <oskude> Shadix, hmm, i thought aiglx was from "ati" people... i use xgl with nvidia...
[09:20] <Shadix> oskude: since XGL apparently doesn't want to work :\
[09:20] <edu> gdb: can I leave the password empty?
[09:20] <ani_max> Hi. Need help with installing Nvidia driver on dapper amd64
[09:21] <gdb> edu: Not sure, I don't think you can.  You can try it if you want.
 I would help you but I don't know. I don't know anything about swfdec and I doen't know what ppc is. I'm sure there may be some here that know but may be busy.
[09:21] <gdb> edu: It's not like you have to enter it every time, anyway.
[09:21] <oskude> Shadix, yeah, didnt get radeon9250 to work with xgl neither, so i bougth a nvidia (again:)
Don't be to hasty, it's not like anyone owes you an answer.
[09:21] <jimcooncat> jolmash, in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
[09:21] <WOLFdude> hey gdb is it the same for the server editui\\
[09:21] <WOLFdude> edition
[09:21] <_xxx_> Please, I need to resolve this synaptic prob before i can install my dapper cd
[09:21] <gdb> WOLFdude: ?
[09:21] <_absolution_> what does libx11"-dev"....mean?....what does the "-dev" mean??
[09:22] <jimcooncat> jolmash, just have both Port 22 and Port 5060
[09:22] <Rambo3> _xxx_, did you ask a question?
[09:22] <WOLFdude> the smb server command
[09:22] <Jowi> _absolution_: development files
[09:22] <Tom39Away> Hey, I'm getting "eth0: no such device" errors because I didn't have the internet connected when I installed Dapper.  How can I set up eth0?
[09:22] <gdb> WOLFdude: There is no difference in Samba commands between releases of Linux.  There is also nothing special about the Server install of Ubuntu other than it doesn't come with a desktop or X.  So yes, of course it's the same.
[09:22] <_absolution_> are they alright to download?
[09:22] <ani_max> Hi. Need help with installing Nvidia driver on dapper amd64. any help?
[09:22] <_xxx_> Rambo3: synaptic cant see archive.ubuntu.com repos
[09:22] <Jowi> Tom39Away: easiest is to use "sudo network-admin"
[09:22] <soundray> linux_user400354: it's a ping request to all listening network interfaces (whether they respond or not depends on the local configuration of course).
[09:23] <WOLFdude> wait can i host  apache?
[09:23] <oskude> _absolution_, -dev packages have so callead header of their source code that you need when you compile a programm that need that libraray (-dev packages do not contain the source code)
[09:23] <jimcooncat> jolmash, is this helpful?
[09:23] <Tom39Away> Jowi, eth0 doesn't appear there, beacsue it doesn't exist.
[09:23] <krang> Anyone know of a good way to block porn sites on a network of ubuntu machines?
[09:23] <WOLFdude> how do i get apache running, i am trying to work with php and ruby on rails thanks
[09:23] <tr1gg3r> Tom39Away: u need to load the module for ur device
[09:23] <jolmash> jimcooncat: mmm, yes it may be works! two ports!
[09:23] <edu> gdb: do the "username" in 'sudo smbpsaswd -a username' must exist as a user account on my kubuntu?
[09:23] <jolmash> tr1gg3r: I don't know to use iptables :-(
[09:23] <Jowi> Tom39Away: did you mean that the cable wasn't inserted at install time or that the network card wasn't inserted?
[09:23] <tr1gg3r> jolmash: google is ur friend
[09:24] <WOLFdude> how do i get apache running, i am trying to work with php and ruby on rails thanks
[09:24] <Tom39Away> Jowi, the network card wasn't, I guess, since it sounds like if the cable wasn't it should show up in network-admin?
[09:24] <oskude> WOLFdude, sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[09:24] <linux_user400354> soundray, if its a ping for many network interfaces, then which ip should be used?
[09:24] <Tom39Away> tr1gg3r, how would I do that?
[09:24] <_xxx_> okay guys, thanks anyway
[09:24] <Jad> how to increase the bash history (ie the number of lines saved in the history) ?
[09:25] <edu> gdb: do the "username" in 'sudo smbpsaswd -a username' must exist as a user account on my kubuntu?
[09:25] <WOLFdude> oskude thanks bro
[09:25] <tr1gg3r> Tom39Away: modprobe module_name, u would need to know ur module name tho
[09:25] <elie> sup guyz
[09:25] <soundray> linux_user400354: I did actually give an example already. ^^
[09:25] <WOLFdude> sup elie
[09:25] <Jad> how to increase the bash history (ie the number of lines saved in the history) ?
[09:25] <jolmash> tr1gg3r: hehehe, yes, I love it, thanks
[09:25] <Tom39Away> tr1gg3r, heh, and is there any easy way to find that out?
[09:25] <elie> any1 tried the new ati linux driverz,i just saw them?
[09:25] <oskude> WOLFdude, you can start many services from /etc/init.d/programx start (other options are "stop" and "restart")
[09:25] <Jowi> Tom39Away: ...the new network card should be automatically detected at boot...
[09:26] <elie> any1 tried the new ati linux driverz,i just saw them?
[09:26] <jolmash> jimcooncat: thank you very much!! I just edited /etc7ssh/sshd_config and wrote down Port 5060 near Port 22
[09:26] <wiking> how install automatix?
[09:26] <kalosaurusrex> !automatix
[09:26] <Tom39Away> Jowi, and if it isn't?  :P
[09:26] <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.
[09:26] <Jad> how to increase the bash history (ie the number of lines saved in the history) ?
[09:26] <soundray> Jad: it's all documented in man bash. Look for HISTFILESIZE and related environment variables.
[09:26] <tr1gg3r> Tom39Away: well u could use google or ask someone here if they have that card and know what module to use, but i do agree with Jowi
[09:26] <Jowi> Tom39Away: hmmm
[09:27] <Jad> thanks soundray
[09:27] <WOLFdude> osdude what do u mean do i run that lne in console?
[09:27] <compengi> where should i put the file that i want to compile by g++?
[09:27] <rverrips> Hiyee - I got something weird - After I upgraded from kernel-2.6.15.23-686 to ..15.25-686 in dapper the performance on my laptop (expecialy graphics stuff like DVD viewing) dropped terribly - Booting into previous kernel solves the issue.  Any idea's how I can establish where the problem is (i.e. bad upgrade of x.org drivers, etc.)
[09:27] <oskude> WOLFdude, yes
[09:27] <Tom39Away> tr1gg3r, Joei, okay, thanks for your help, I'll try what you suggested.
[09:27] <DBO> rverrips, running xgl?

[09:27] <tmccrary> hi, I have setup ipv6 on two machines and I can ping them. However, I try ssh -6 FE80::1 and ssh tells me invalid port. Any tips on how to make that work? Even though this error is not related, sshd is listening for ipv6 traffic
[09:27] <Jowi> Tom39Away: can you do a "lspci -n" and put it in the pastebin please?
[09:27] <tmccrary> its ssh v4.2
[09:27] <tr1gg3r> compengi: where ever u want
[09:28] <rverrips> DBO, not too sure?  how do I check?
[09:28] <Tom39Away> Jowi, might be a little hard without the internet on that computer, but I'll try.
[09:28] <DBO> rverrips, the answer is no then.  I have the same issue as you, I do not know of a fix, but if you find one please please let me know
[09:28] <elie> any1 tried the new ati linux driverz,i just saw them?
[09:28] <compengi> tr1gg3r, and how do i show it to g++?
[09:28] <Jowi> Tom39Away: yeah, I know

[09:29] <pandora--> where would AM_PATH_GTK be located?
[09:29] <WOLFdude> i did it said command not found
[09:29] <tr1gg3r> WOLFdude: u prolly need to install apache 1st

[09:29] <KidAztech> Can Someone Please Help? im trying to create a shared particion folder (/fat32) im at Disk Management but i cant right click to make a new particion
[09:29] <kalosaurusrex> !vfat
[09:29] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[09:29] <oskude> WOLFdude, if didnt install any apache yet, i would recommend "sudo apt-get install apache2"
[09:29] <WOLFdude> does ubuntu not come with apache?
[09:30] <tr1gg3r> not installed by default
[09:30] <soundray> !info apache
[09:30] <ubotu> apache: versatile, high-performance HTTP server. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1.3.34-2 (dapper), package size 375 kB, installed size 808 kB
[09:30] <Jowi> Tom39Away: if you manage, we can probably find out which module to load. hopefully.
[09:30] <oskude> WOLFdude, server installation maybe, but apache is no desktop program ;)
[09:30] <soundray> !info apache2
[09:30] <ubotu> apache2: next generation, scalable, extendable web server. In repository main, is optional. Version 2.0.55-4ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 34 kB, installed size 80 kB
[09:30] <compengi> tr1gg3r, so i should type in the terminal like this: g++ /path/file.cc -o file right?
[09:30] <Tom39Away> Jowi, okay, cool.  working on that
[09:30] <soundray> WOLFdude: there you go, both optional.

[09:33] <LoneShadow> can I install a dapper package on breezy ?
[09:33] <oskude> LoneShadow, you can try, but it propably wont work when installed
[09:33] <spikeb> you might be able to, but i wouldnt count on it
[09:33] <Jowi> LoneShadow: not recommended
[09:33] <LoneShadow> cant seem to find mythtv-0.19 packages for breezy
[09:34] <jimcooncat> LoneShadow, did you check for backports?
[09:34] <caonex> hello I am using dapper and I have just discovered that when i set the clock in gnome to locatime, as opposed to UTC, the time is kept in UTC. When I choose UTC it is kept in localtime. I noticed this by using hwclock --locatime and hwclock they both show the right time, and the /etc/adjtime says UTC althought I had changed it to localtime, any ideas?
[09:34] <caonex> By right time, I mean the right respective time, either in UTC or local
[09:34] <WOLFdude> now how do i configure apache, i need to host some files from apache on ubuntu, from my apartment, to sow y professor at city college the alternative to microsoft windows
[09:34] <LoneShadow> jimcooncat: yup, its not there
[09:35] <edu> I'm trying to map a windows xp printer from kubuntu, can you help me?
[09:35] <jimcooncat> LoneShadow, time to upgrade :-)
[09:35] <tr1gg3r> compengi: i m unregistered and cannot pm u
[09:35] <Gonzo> which entry in the xmms config will make it stop appearing in all my desktop?
[09:35] <compengi> =/
[09:35] <soundray> Kensey: that's just the main package, it has dependencies and subdependencies
[09:35] <oskude> LoneShadow, well, there aint 0.19 even for dapper :) http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=mythtv&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all
[09:35] <LoneShadow> cant do it on my frontend :)
[09:35] <Jack1> a way to make grip faster?
[09:35] <compengi> tr1gg3r, register

[09:36] <WOLFdude> now how do i configure apache, i need to host some files from apache on ubuntu, from my apartment, to sow y professor at city college the alternative to microsoft windows
[09:36] <Gullstad> How make fanthom disc whit linux -  to run bin/cue files.
[09:36] <LoneShadow> oskude: someone built the packages for 0.19 on dapper
[09:36] <Guest498> what is a good wifi manager? (i am looking for one 98% like windows)
[09:36] <tr1gg3r> compengi: cd to where ur files are and run g++ printing.c
[09:36] <Jowi> ubotu: tell WOLFdude about apache
[09:36] <oskude> LoneShadow, could be, but not official...
[09:36] <WOLFdude> hi jowi
[09:36] <compengi> let me try
[09:36] <LoneShadow> oskude: yea, wondering if It will install on my breezy, going to give it a try
[09:37] <Gullstad> !cue

[09:37] <Orgullomoore> !orgullomoore
[09:37] <ubotu> I know nothing about orgullomoore
[09:37] <oskude> WOLFdude, good tip is to use "public_html" folders, you make that folder in your home directory, and then you can access it wih webbrowser at http://ip.ip.ip.ip/~username
[09:38] <LoneShadow> !tickling you
[09:38] <ubotu> I know nothing about tickling you
[09:38] <LoneShadow> heh
[09:38] <Wodger> depending on how the OS and program play
[09:38] <soundray> !botabuse
[09:38] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots
[09:38] <WOLFdude> oskude whats reset by peer mean?
[09:38] <Jowi> WOLFdude: not well. I set it up and it works.
[09:39] <Orgullomoore> Wodger is there a way I could check to see if that's what's happening? Or a tool that measures how much bandwidth I have and how much I'm using?
[09:39] <oskude> WOLFdude, dunno, google ? wikipedia ?
[09:39] <compengi> tr1gg3r, cd /home only i can't access more
[09:39] <LoneShadow> how do I choose a particular package from apt-get, if both packages have same name, but diff versions
[09:40] <Wodger> irc is very low bandwifht genurally
[09:40] <Wodger> shouldn't be problem really
[09:40] <tr1gg3r> compengi: u have to be able to cd to ur home dir unless someone changed the perms or deleted it
[09:40] <Orgullomoore> right, but I'm running other applications that us a lot of bandwidth
[09:40] <oskude> Orgullomoore, "iptraf" could be usefull
[09:41] <compengi> tr1gg3r, i'm in compengi@compengi-desktop:/home$
[09:41] <compengi>  now
[09:41] <Wodger> well there are other things like how any home routers are load balancing etc
[09:41] <compengi> tr1gg3r, but what next
[09:41] <Orgullomoore> Wodger hmm?
[09:41] <tr1gg3r> compengi: what output of pwd
[09:41] <Tom39Away> Jowi, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16712
[09:41] <WOLFdude> Can anyone help me with apache
[09:41] <Jowi> ok Tom39Away, I have a look
[09:41] <kalosaurusrex> Wolf: what are you trying to do?
[09:41] <tr1gg3r> WOLFdude: read the docs apache has good docs
[09:41] <WOLFdude> please
[09:41] <compengi> tr1gg3r, talk english lol what's pwd
[09:42] <Tom39Away> Jowi, great, thanks
[09:42] <WOLFdude> i need to host files
[09:42] <tr1gg3r> compengi: a cmd type at prompt
[09:42] <oskude> WOLFdude, this is community, so you just have to ask and hope someone knows the solution...
[09:42] <LoneShadow> anyone know how to choose a particular version if there are duplicate packages ?
[09:42] <WOLFdude> this community is cool
[09:42] <compengi> tr1gg3r, what is that
[09:42] <kalosaurusrex> install apache, edit the /etc/apache/httpd.conf so that your files are where the html root is, restart apache.
[09:42] <soundray> LoneShadow: it's called apt-pinning, but it shouldn't be necessary with Ubuntu. Are you mixing dapper and breezy repos?
[09:42] <Ro1> can someone help? all of a sudden my sound stopped working, anyone got any ideas to fix it?
[09:43] <tr1gg3r> LoneShadow: apt-pinning, but there shouldnt be dups
[09:43] <Orgullomoore> kalosaurusrex ah, I was gonna say that :P
[09:43] <Orgullomoore> WOLFdude apache is your friend
[09:43] <kalosaurusrex> Orgullomoore: lol :)
[09:43] <Orgullomoore> there are plenty of online tutorials to get you started
[09:43] <WOLFdude> where the html root?
[09:43] <Jowi> Tom39Away: your network card is not listed there. so it is not detected at all. It might be broken or blocked in your BIOS unless it is a ISA card. is it an ISA network card?
[09:43] <Orgullomoore> depends on where you put it, WOLFdude
[09:43] <cntb> room is soon reaching 800
[09:43] <LoneShadow> soundray: trying to install a custom dapper package onto breezy
[09:43] <Ro1> can someone help? all of a sudden my sound stopped working, anyone got any ideas to fix it?
[09:43] <WOLFdude> put what?
[09:43] <iGama> Hy!
[09:43] <compengi> tr1gg3r, omg what a complex, to compile a file i should do all this] 
[09:44] <Jowi> WOLFdude: /var/www
[09:44] <iGama> where can i find the font used by ubuntu on the logo?
[09:44] <runes> which is a good pim and calendar for Gnome on Ubuntu?
[09:44] <Orgullomoore> WOLFdude open up a web browser and open the location "http://localhost"
[09:44] <johan_> I'm following the guide on http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=739758, but on step 7 where I'm supposed to change some things in the compiz-folder of gconf-editor, compiz doesn't exist there. I've followed the guide exactly. What is wrong?
[09:44] <WOLFdude> where doiget /var/www
[09:44] <tr1gg3r> compengi: sry u need to learn to navigate around ur filesystem at the cmd prompt 1st, basically g++ is telling u that the files dont exist so u likely got the path wrong
[09:44] <Jowi> WOLFdude: so you can put an index.html file in there and that should be it.
[09:44] <soundray> LoneShadow: download it and install it with 'sudo dpkg -i package.deb'. Better yet, go all the way and upgrade to dapper.
[09:44] <Ro1> can someone help? all of a sudden my sound stopped working, anyone got any ideas to fix it?
[09:44] <LoneShadow> I cant, I need older Xorg
[09:45] <LoneShadow> unless there is a way to run older xorg on dapper
[09:45] <compengi> tr1gg3r, this is the path
[09:45] <compengi> lol
[09:45] <oskude> Ro1, scnr: press play on tape ? ;)
[09:45] <WOLFdude> wow
[09:45] <ani_max> Hi. i got a file NVIDIA0.run on my desktop. How do i run it in terminal?
[09:45] <WOLFdude> nowwha
[09:45] <compengi> i'm sure of it
[09:45] <Tom39Away> Jowi, how would I know if it's a ISA card?  It's an older laptop.
[09:45] <scifi> hey guys, does anyone use the opera browser here ?
[09:45] <WOLFdude> now what
[09:45] <soundray> LoneShadow: why?

[09:45] <cntb> scifi why opera when firefox is so good ?
[09:45] <grecko> Hola, alguien me puede decir como cambiarle el passwodr al usuario root en Ubuntu?

[09:46] <Ro1> oh
[09:46] <Sub> scifi, nope, i got my pacakge from a diff repos.
[09:46] <Ro1> i gotcha'
[09:46] <Tom39Away> Jowi, it's a Toshiba Portege 3480CT, and has the big gray block of a "Lan Port Replicator" I plug into the side of it that has the ethernet jack on it..

[09:46] <cntb> grecko try !password here
[09:46] <Ro1> can someone help? all of a sudden my sound stopped working, anyone got any ideas to fix it?
[09:46] <cntb> !password
[09:46] <ubotu> Forgot your password? Boot into recovery mode. What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StrongPasswords
[09:46] <Timir> *Sigh* I'm starting to rather Dislike Linux again, after the first time of practically impossible setting in Mandrake and SuSE
[09:47] <oskude> Ro1, speakers ok ? cable still in pc ? volume on ? any audio playing ?
[09:47] <compengi> tr1gg3r, i did it
[09:47] <Jowi> Tom39Away: I have no idea what that even means. Never seen a thing like that in my life :/
[09:47] <scifi> Sub: hmm i downloaded mine .deb for ubuntu dapper direct from operas site, so why shud it cause any problems ?
[09:47] <Ro1> oskdude; it was playing this morning...all of a sudden it just stopped
[09:47] <compengi> tr1gg3r, i should capitalise the file name
[09:47] <cntb> will try scifi opera on linux just to try see your point I know opera on windows
[09:47] <Sub> scifi, did you get the full deb? or the one that uses your own qt libs?
[09:47] <oskude> Ro1, well... i think we need more info here...
[09:47] <edu> grecko: do you speak English?
[09:47] <Ro1> like?
[09:48] <j0nas`> anybody good with network config?
[09:48] <Jowi> Tom39Away: you mean it is a dockingstation for you laptop?
[09:48] <j0nas`> need help getting my networking to work
[09:48] <grecko> no
[09:48] <Sub> cntb, the new one out > firefox.
[09:48] <j0nas`> console only...
[09:48] <oskude> Ro1, what program doesnt make any sound ? are the settings in mixer ok ?
[09:48] <edu> grecko: where are you from?
[09:48] <cntb> !sudo
[09:48] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:48] <Ro1> oskude: i use alsa...nothing is making sound...not even the startup sound
[09:49] <Tom39Away> Jowi, something like that.  http://i10.ebayimg.com/03/i/04/f4/52/3d_2.JPG and http://www.compuvest.com/images/items/PA2727U.jpg are examples of similar things.  The laptop doesn't have it's own ethernet jack.
[09:49] <oskude> Ro1, does the audio work after fresh reboot ?
[09:49] <grecko> Mxico
[09:49] <Ro1> nope..i just rebooted to try
[09:49] <Sub> scifi, add " deb http://deb.opera.com/opera etch non-free " to your /etc/apt/sources.list, do a "sudo apt-get update" and grab opera from there. I can confirm that works 100% ok.
[09:49] <edu> grecko: que quieres saber?
[09:49] <scifi> Sub: im not sure i think it used shared qt files
[09:49] <johan_> does anyone have the battlehorse compiz package? The webssite is down
[09:49] <cntb> grecko viva mexico
[09:49] <oskude> Ro1, has someone installed or made something to the machine before it stopped working ?
[09:49] <Ro1> nope
[09:50] <Ro1> it did the same thing last night...but then it came back randomlyt
[09:50] <grecko> acabo de instalar ubuntu y quiero cambiarle el password al usuario root
[09:50] <edu> grecko: el usuario root esta inahabilitado
[09:50] <scifi> Sub, thanks for the tip. how do i safely uninstall the version i have first ?
[09:50] <oskude> Ro1, do you have xmms ? try starting it from terminal and play a sound with it, does it seem to play, but no sound ? do you see any error messages in the terminal
[09:50] <elie> any1 with a ati vga?

[09:51] <oskude> Ro1, do you have "/dev/dsp" ? (ls /dev/dsp)
[09:51] <edu> grecko: puedes trabajar sin ella perfectamente
[09:51] <Gonzo> where's the best place to report bug?
[09:51] <edu> grecko: viene deshabilitada por seguridad
[09:51] <Ro1> oskude: not sure...i'm very new to this
[09:51] <tech9iner> misfit_toy  P I N G .............

[09:51] <tech9iner> misfit_toy  ya bugga ya.. ;] 
[09:52] <grecko> solo que quiero actualizar los paquetes e instalar adicionales
[09:52] <elie> sudo -s
[09:52] <oskude> Ro1, ok, something is wrong, there should be /dev/dsp, hmm
[09:52] <edu> grecko: para eso no necesitas la cuenta root
[09:52] <edu> grecko: ejecuta Adpet
[09:52] <Ro1> oskude: wait a second
[09:52] <WOLFdude> jowi u there?
[09:52] <oskude> Ro1, that could mean the drivers are not loaded, whats your audio chip ?
[09:52] <edu> grecko: Adept quise decir
[09:52] <Ro1> oh wait
[09:52] <Jowi> Tom39Away: ah, ok. i'm searching the forums atm. don't find anything useful yet. is the docking station/port replicator active in your BIOS?
[09:52] <Ro1> i do have them
[09:52] <oskude> Ro1, ok
[09:52] <edu> Ro1, oskude: same problem with sound
[09:53] <Jowi> WOLFdude: more or less :)
[09:53] <tech9iner> misfit_toy  ur loss chummie ole bouy touy!! muahahaha..
[09:53] <yallaman> is it possibel to use 2 monitors with ubuntu? i got a dvi-out and a crt-out..on my nvidia card
[09:53] <WOLFdude> hi
[09:53] <Ro1> and no one can figure it out?
[09:53] <oskude> type "groups" in the terminal and see if theres "audio" in the text that it spits...
[09:53] <tr1gg3r> compengi: yes file names are case sensitive
[09:53] <grecko> y como se habilita?
[09:53] <Ro1> yup. ..theres audiop
[09:53] <elie> wtf when i do a sudo apt-get update,iget ---->E: Type 'Automatix' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:53] <Ro1> *audio
[09:53] <WOLFdude> howido i putmy index.html in var/www when i amnot root?
[09:53] <crazy_penguin> has someone used vserver in ubuntu?
[09:53] <oskude> Ro1, hmm...
[09:54] <Jowi> Tom39Away: if your BIOS does not have an option like that, maybe you need a special driver just for the port rep. Hard for me to say with my limited knowledge of them.
[09:54] <WOLFdude> or how do i bring up console from within dir so i can just sudo everything
[09:54] <Ro1> is there someway to refresh audio drivers or something in terminal
[09:54] <edu> grecko: de verdad necesitas habilitar root? para hacer cambios en tu sistema no lo necesitas
[09:54] <oskude> Ro1, yup, sec
[09:54] <tr1gg3r> elie: sounds like a syntax error in ur sources.list
[09:54] <Tom39Away> Jowi, there's no mention of it in the BIOS from what I can tell.  The BIOS is very simple.
[09:54] <oskude> Ro1, whats your audio chip/card ?
[09:55] <Ro1> i dont know exactly...but its an ATI IXP
[09:55] <Jowi> WOLFdude: It is easier for the person you reply to if you put his/her name infront of your message. that way it gets highlited and is easier to see.
[09:55] <elie> ya cuz some 1 here told me 2 remove somethin at the beggining of my sources.list
[09:55] <yallaman> is it possibel to use 2 monitors with ubuntu? i got a dvi-out and a crt-out..on my nvidia card
[09:55] <oskude> Ro1, hmm...
[09:55] <scifi> Sub: where is sources.list do i need to add that line ?
[09:55] <scifi> Sub: in*
[09:55] <Kensey> apache2 is 80K?
[09:55] <WOLFdude> Jowi: or how do i bring up console from within dir so i can just sudo everything
[09:56] <oskude> Ro1, do you get any text with "lsmod | grep sound" ?
[09:56] <Jowi> WOLFdude: much better :) open a terminal (should be in the applications menu in gnome) or press ctrl-alt-f1 (ctrl-alt-f7 will take you back to gnome)

[09:57] <WOLFdude> then how do i access the apache folder toput my index in
[09:57] <oskude> Ro1, ok, then "lsmod | grep snd" should give more, and one (or more) of those is your audio driver...
[09:58] <Ro1> yeah...it gave a about 15 lines or so of stuff
[09:58] <Jowi> WOLFdude: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands

[10:12] <BSoDirl> alright, my symlink won't save after reboot, I was told udev could do that.
[10:12] <BSoDirl> am I close?

[10:13] <ompaul> theblue, a man called Mark Shuttleworth is behind it - he has the funds to keep it going for a hundred years or more
[10:13] <MarcN> theblue: they have a rich benefactor.
[10:13] <BSoDirl> Shuttleworth's the man.
[10:13] <BSoDirl> :)
[10:13] <theblue> He must be rich near the level of Bill Gates if that's the case.
[10:13] <BSoDirl> I dunno about that.. but he's got da $ for sure.
[10:13] <theblue> And how./
[10:13] <ompaul> theblue, na the costs are a lot less but he is rather a lot of the green stuff

[10:15] <ompaul> theblue, we have a "chatting channel" #ubuntu-offtopic for non support ubuntu and other topics
[10:15] <SonicChao> Tiako, pretty fast
[10:15] <Speek> How do I remove ubuntu?
[10:15] <Tiako> The fastest I have ever downloaded anything is 88kb on a 4mb connection
[10:15] <SonicChao> Speek, install another Linux over it
[10:15] <SonicChao> And click ERASE DISK
[10:15] <theblue> ompaul, I'm already in there, I just joined, thanks.
[10:16] <BSoDirl> I had to link /dev/536ep0 to /dev/modem after compiling my driver, but my symlink wipes after reboot.
[10:16] <yosup> ompaul.....sry i wanted to be alittle more spicific...what do you mean noapic whats thaqt
[10:16] <SonicChao> ompaul, I told him too already :)
[10:16] <Speek> Ok i am dual booting XP and Ubuntu and I just want Ubuntu uninstalled since it will not run photoshop CS2
[10:16] <BSoDirl> I was told udev could fix that, and I made an addition in udev.conf, is that all I need?
[10:16] <LaUxS> HI
[10:16] <ompaul> yosup, read wiki.ubuntu.com/BootOptions
[10:16] <Ro1> oskude: i just rebooted into live.....there was no sound
[10:16] <BSoDirl> Speek: use gimp :S
[10:16] <Speek> Gimp = lame!
[10:16] <BSoDirl> Gimp = the bomb.
[10:16] <SonicChao> Speek, that's what GIMP is for, it is not lame.
[10:17] <Jowi> ompaul: so you have any ideas regarding port replicator/docking station problem ( Tom39Away has one that doesn't seem to be detected) ?
[10:17] <SonicChao> Speek, the problem is you dont want Open Source
[10:17] <Tiako> I keep getting "Unable to connect to data Port"
[10:17] <BSoDirl> run photoshop in wine :S
[10:17] <talldave> can any one tell me the difference between a x86 and a 64 bit pc?
[10:17] <ompaul> Jowi, not looking at that - beyond my kb
[10:17] <SonicChao> Speek, you wouldnt have installed Ubuntu if you didn't want free alternatives.
[10:17] <yosup> ompaul, thanks, i love ui
[10:17] <Jymmm> talldave 32 bits

[10:17] <Tiako> Does anyone use Cox Cable?
[10:17] <BSoDirl> anyone know anything about udev? :S
[10:17] <matsalted> how do you run wine?
[10:17] <SonicChao> Speek, if thats your mind-set do not use Ubuntu, you wont get anything out of it.
[10:18] <SonicChao> !wine
[10:18] <Jymmm> mat__: Got Grapes?
[10:18] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[10:18] <Jowi> Tom39Away: btw, did you turn the laptop off before connecting it?
[10:18] <carlo> i have a broadcom 4318, that is the same of airport extreme on Macs, I can see the network but can't connect to it. Any hint?
[10:18] <jrib> BSoDirl: someone probably knows something, but you have to be a bit more specific
[10:18] <SonicChao> That was for you matsalted.
[10:18] <BSoDirl> I downloaded wine on dialup, I'm hardcore.
[10:18] <Tiako> lol
[10:18] <Tom39Away> Jowi, yes

[10:23] <ompaul> yosup, you tell me it freezes maybe the software is not the best - is there a bios upgrade for your hardware?
[10:23] <Jowi> Tom39Away: just by chance I found out that portege3440CT uses wither e100 or eepro100 driver/module. perhaps you can see if you can load it. "sudo modprobe e100"
[10:23] <matsalted> Thanks:)
[10:23] <carlo> WOLFdude: hmm... "cp inde.htm /var/www/"  ?
[10:24] <Jowi> Tom39Away: s/wither/either
[10:24] <matsalted> I have another question, I just installed an app, secondlife, using wine. Now I closed it how do i find it to run it?
[10:24] <RaeDr> carlo: you might want 'sudo cp inde.htm /var/www/'
[10:24] <grimboy> weakwire, Try the forums?

[10:25] <jorgp> what is the best way to execute a bash script every 15 seconds?
[10:25] <grimboy> matsalted, browse under ~\.wine (I think)
[10:25] <om_> apparently ubuntu thinks that my 'left arrow' is "XF86AudioPrev" WTF IS THIS??
[10:25] <carlo> RaeDr: I think you're right ;)
[10:25] <ompaul> yosup, is this the first boot after the install?

[10:26] <carlo> WOLFdude: it depends on what dir you want to copy from. Are you trying within the GUI?
[10:26] <ompaul> yosup, is the fat partition now in need of defragging or has it bad blocks

[10:27] <jrattner> how do i install a .deb package? dpkg -i?
[10:27] <qalimas> it is a fresh install of daapper
[10:27] <WOLFdude> yes

[10:28] <WOLFdude> carlo: yes
[10:28] <freezey> whats the command to reconfigure xorg.conf
[10:28] <SonicChao> astro_-, did you choose to wipe Windows and install Ubuntu?
[10:28] <SonicChao> astro_-, or did you choose to dual-boot?
[10:28] <matsalted> yes all for free.
[10:28] <astro_-> SonicChao: no, I have Windows on a separate hard drive
[10:28] <matsalted> But we wont make the XP, Palm ,PPC, Psion etc versions free:)
[10:28] <WOLFdude> carlo:how do i copy with sudo permission through gui interface?
[10:28] <SonicChao> So all you have on this HD is Ubuntu, correct astro_- ?
[10:28] <astro_-> it didn't ask me about dual boot, because I installed a new clean hard drive as the master, on which I then installed ubuntu
[10:28] <weakwire> in the synaptic package manager can't see for instance kde package to download and install.what should i do ?
[10:28] <freezey> whats the command to reconfigure xorg.conf
[10:29] <astro_-> SonicChao: that's correct
[10:29] <MarcN> freezey: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:29] <carlo> WOLFdude: you can't copy a file to /var/www from your user, because the destination folder cannot be written by normal users
[10:29] <weakwire> v 5.10
[10:29] <astro_-> and I have a slave HDD with w2k
[10:29] <WOLFdude> carlo:how do i login as sudo all the time
[10:29] <WOLFdude> please hep
[10:29] <vlt> sudo -s
[10:29] <Jowi> Tom39Away: did it work?
[10:30] <carlo> WOLFdude: hit ALT+F2 and type in the box: gksudo nautilus
[10:30] <ompaul> yosup, I don't know but I did say try the other - if your bios and some updates are not working in harmony together that is one place to look I can only give you suggestions - you have to test them
[10:30] <qalimas> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16714 -- fresh install of dapper, can anyone help?
[10:30] <WOLFdude> carlo:what does that do?
[10:30] <Lobster> Gute Nacht ihr alle :)
[10:30] <carlo> WOLFdude: in that way you have nautilus ran as superuser nd you can do a lot of damage :)

[10:31] <jrib> qalimas: how do you connect to the internet? do you use a proxy possibly?
[10:31] <astro_-> SonicChao: so, any ideas? :)
[10:32] <Jowi> Tom39Away: random google search + luck. :)
[10:32] <SonicChao> astro_-, I'm scratching my head on this one
[10:32] <Jowi> Tom39Away: http://lenz.homelinux.org/portege3440CT/
[10:32] <SonicChao> astro_-, sorry, you probably have to ask someone else
[10:32] <matsalted> So where are XP apps installed using wine?

[10:32] <Tom39Away> Jowi, thanks again
[10:33] <freezey> After reconfiguring your xorg.conf do you have to restart for changes to take effect?
[10:33] <Jowi> Tom39Away: that page is not really helpful though since it is for an older kernel version, but at least the driver seems to be the correct one. you're welcome
[10:33] <s731k1> freezey yes, I'm pretty sure you do for all parts of the config
[10:34] <rverrips> freezey - Just do an alt-f1, then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (if you're using Gnome)

[10:35] <SonicChao> Ok facerape
[10:35] <facerape> its on another b0x so i can stay here whilst i do the instalation
[10:35] <Jowi> Tom39Away: maybe reboot after you put in in /etc/modules to see if eth0 wakes up
[10:35] <s731k1> facerape: its actually quite simple, if you just have the free space you cant really screw it up
[10:35] <Tom39Away> Jowi, okay
[10:35] <SonicChao> facerape, read at the ubuntu website: http://www.ubuntu.com/
[10:35] <facerape> im doing a full format on an 8gig primary with a 4 gig secondary
[10:35] <rverrips> facerape - It's pretty simple - insert Cd, boot into live version, then kit install icon
[10:36] <vlt> pppoe_dude: I just asked before you entered: Hello. How can I read status info about my PPPoE connection (speed, uptime ...)? Any idea?

[10:38] <SonicChao> Expedia, this is no place for this, this is a support channel, please talk to me in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:38] <om_> thanks!
[10:38] <jrib> kristian: are you sure you have dapper multiverse and not just dapper-backports multiverse?  Post your /etc/apt/sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ if it still can't find the package
[10:38] <Expedia> SonicChao, okay. Sorry.

[10:41] <facerape> sourceforge?
[10:41] <kristian> jrib, I have only backports enabled, but there is no other multiverse to pick.
[10:41] <mjr> moonrock, binutils (hint: install apt-file, it's useful)
[10:42] <jrib> kristian: just add the word " multiverse" to the end of every line that already has "universe" but no "multiverse"
[10:42] <moonrock> mjr: thanks, i'll do that. Hadn't heard of apt-file, but will investigate
[10:43] <Jowi> moonrock: package "binutils"
[10:43] <kristian> jrib, nice :)

[10:48] <astro_-> Can anyone help with this? I get a "GRUB Loading Stage 1.5Read Error" message when I try to boot after installing from the CD?

[10:49] <Tiako> thanks.
[10:49] <Blaze^^> how to convert from rpm to *.deb ?
[10:49] <Jowi> vivaeltopo, astro_- check the md5sum of the downloaded file. if it is ok, try burning at a low speed (as x4 or something)
[10:49] <Blaze^^> please tell me, because i didn't manage to find it in the wiki
[10:50] <vivaeltopo> qry jowi?
[10:50] <astro_-> Jowi: I don't think it's a problem with the cd, I did the cd check thingy from the boot menu
[10:50] <bimberi> Blaze^^: alien
[10:50] <MarcN> Blaze^^: look for a .deb equivalent, but then look at alien
[10:51] <h4v0k> can someone help me set up the lamp server and stuff to host a webpage
[10:51] <Jowi> astro_-: oh, so the installation itself is successful?
[10:51] <astro_-> Jowi: yes
[10:51] <astro_-> Jowi: after the installation, when I reboot, I get that
[10:51] <h4v0k> please?

[10:54] <Jowi> astro_-: the error can show if you install grub to the MBR and then delete the ubuntu partition. you should check the grub wiki
[10:54] <Jowi> !grub

[10:54] <existance> Administrator__, I already have fglrx installed, is that going to mess is up?
[10:54] <Administrator__> existance, possibly i dont know, if you have fglrx have you tried 'sudo ati-control' or whatever
[10:55] <astro_-> Jowi: is there a chance that grub can't handle my HDD, because it's kind of big (320GB)?
[10:55] <astro_-> Jowi: I used most of it for the partition that I mount to /
[10:55] <existance> Administrator__, aticonfig maybe?
[10:55] <SaTaN`> linux_user400354, i have enabled, what is the command? apt-get... ?
[10:56] <f1k0> alguien habla espaol?

[10:56] <linux_user400354> SaTaN "sudo apt-get install wine"

[10:58] <Jowi> astro_-: do you have several harddrives in the pc? can you set the harddisk(s) manually in the BIOS so you are sure they don't change order?
[10:58] <wm0t> ive tried like everything
[10:59] <jrib> wm0t: have you been to the restricted formats wiki page?
[10:59] <wm0t> yes
[10:59] <existance> Whenever I turn my resolution to 1600 by 1200, I get a virtual desktop bigger than my monitor.  Anyone know how I fix this?  I have fglrx installed (ATI card).
[11:00] <Cooner750> Hello
[11:00] <astro_-> Jowi: yes, I do have.. I don't know if I can freeze them in the bios, I think they're quite static though because I used jumpers on the drives to designate them as slave/master
[11:00] <Cooner750> Where is the GRUB config file located?
[11:00] <haakonn> any vague ideas about why i don't get direct rendering on my lenovo 3000 n100 laptop (nv driver)? i can't find any errors in the log

[11:01] <wm0t> its installed
[11:01] <Jowi> astro_-: usually you just set them to "manual" instead of "auto". it might be that grub think the disks have switched place.... i'm not 100% sure though
[11:01] <jrib> wm0t: what does 'apt-cache policy sun-java5-plugin | grep -i Installed' say?
[11:02] <kristian> How do i install wine?
[11:02] <wm0t> /bin/sh: apt-cache policy sun-java5-plugin | grep -i Installed: command not found
[11:02] <jrib> ubotu: tell kristian about wine
[11:02] <wm0t>   Installed: 1.5.0-06-1
[11:02] <astro_-> Jowi: but if I put them into "Manual", it asks for sectors and stuff
[11:02] <wm0t> yep
[11:02] <astro_-> Jowi: and I don't know those for my HDDs
[11:03] <kristian> i don't know what to do.. how do i add http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt ?
[11:03] <nikhil> hey
[11:03] <nikhil> i have a bit of a predicament

[11:03] <wm0t> fresh

[11:03] <nikhil> i have an IBM T43p laptop supplied by my dad's company that i'm using
[11:04] <nicolas__> hi, i mysteriously got my usbp1k usb-phone API working recently, i rebooted and it never worked again, we all know skypemate is not working on anything except fedora core, so i tought it was ekiga, but i didnt find anything about usb phone... does anyone has an idea?
[11:04] <Jowi> astro_-: have you had a look at the grub wiki to see if you can get some other pointers there?
[11:04] <nikhil> and i want to install ubuntu onto it
[11:04] <nikhil> but the thing is
[11:04] <nicolas__> it displayed a wrong date, and i was able to dial
[11:04] <nikhil> i HAVE to be able to recover my windows installation
[11:04] <nikhil> EXACTLY as is
[11:04] <nikhil> when we give it back to his company
[11:04] <nikhil> is that possible?
[11:04] <nicolas__> nikhil: use the livecd
[11:04] <jrib> wm0t: ok, can you do 'dpkg -L sun-java5-plugin' and put that on pastebin for me please?
[11:04] <nicolas__> nikhil: well, don't install it
[11:04] <nicolas__> just use it as a live cd
[11:05] <ikken> what's the fastest and easiest way to get Flash working? Flash is running slow here - will GPL Flash run faster?
[11:05] <nikhil> so i can't have it on my harddrive?
[11:05] <epimer> hi guys
[11:05] <userundefine> Hi
[11:05] <astro_-> Jowi: not yet, I'm trying to do a second reinstall with different partitions right now. When I googled, someone talked about that same auto/manual thing in the BIOS settings, but like I said, if I turn it to Manual, it asks for other stuff as well. Or could I just leave those as is? (empty)
[11:05] <nicolas__> nikhil: unless you shrink your dad's windows partition to install ubuntu on it, no
[11:05] <nikhil> well of course i was planning on doing that
[11:05] <nikhil> @nicolas: i'm just wondering whether it would be possible
[11:05] <nicolas__> nikhil: this is possible, but not without any risks
[11:05] <epimer> i have a daft question: can i get rid of the desktop icons of the mounted devices without actually unmounting the devices themselves?
[11:05] <nikhil> ah
[11:05] <userundefine> nikhil, you could do it, it's risky of course.  it's obviously possible.
[11:06] <nicolas__> they're MAY be a risk
[11:06] <_absolution_> will I lose everything if I did a fresh install?
[11:06] <nicolas__> s/they're/there
[11:06] <nicolas__> sorry
[11:06] <wm0t> jrib
[11:06] <wm0t> sure sec
[11:06] <tovella> nikhil: you could also backup the windows partition, then just restore it later.
[11:06] <nikhil> nicolas__: could i use ghost or something
[11:06] <nikhil> yeah
[11:06] <kbrosnan> wm0t, if you type about:plguins in the firefox address bar is java listed?
[11:06] <nikhil> i was wondering, ho would i completely backup the partition?
[11:06] <nikhil> i have a dvd burner
[11:06] <Jowi> astro_-: you should not leave them empty, no. some bioses keep the autodetected values intact and just let you alter them instead.
[11:06] <nikhil> and a working linux server with 160 gigs
[11:06] <nicolas__> nikhil: if the complete windows partition fits on a dvd
[11:06] <`sheep> hello
[11:06] <nicolas__> letsgo
[11:06] <userundefine> epimer, yes, I'm pretty sure... in Gnome?
[11:06] <nikhil> err
[11:06] <nikhil> no it's about 50 gigs
[11:06] <epimer> yes, sorry, Gnome
[11:07] <nikhil> but i have 10 DVDs
[11:07] <`sheep> i would like to know which package i need to install in order to be able to compile modules ...
[11:07] <wm0t> kbrosnan
[11:07] <wm0t> no
[11:07] <userundefine> epimer, so you want it to mount automatically just not show an icon on desktop?
[11:07] <Jowi> astro_-: strange though. master/slave should make sure they don't change anyway.
[11:07] <wm0t> http://pastebin.ca/74275
[11:07] <nikhil> nicolas__: what prog would i use (on winxp) to backup the partition
[11:07] <nikhil> and how would i restore it later?
[11:08] <nicolas__> nikhil: if you install ubuntu on the harddrive and do it the way you want, you have lot of work to do to bring it back like it was before
[11:08] <astro_-> Jowi: yeah, that's what I thought
[11:08] <Jowi> astro_-: and you have the master and slave on different cables?
[11:08] <nikhil> nicolas__: elaborate?
[11:08] <nicolas__> nikhil: i dont know any other windows burner than nero
[11:08] <Uglyrock> hello all, can anyone advise me on xorg.conf, I have a problem getting DRI enabled on an intel 815 video chipset
[11:08] <epimer> userundefine, yes. i just want a blank desktop to fill with useless eye-candy :P
[11:08] <wm0t> kbrosnan what should i be looking for?
[11:08] <astro_-> Jowi: I have three drives.. Master and slave on one, and the third as a master on a second cable, where my cdrom is the slave
[11:08] <Jowi> astro_-: if you have them on the same cable, master should be at the end of the cable and the slave in the "middle"
[11:08] <root__> hello all-- I am wondering what part of the root directory would be easiest to move to a second hard drive to gain about 1 gig of space I am running 6.06?
[11:08] <tovella> nikhil: if you have access to storage on a network, you could use partimage.
[11:08] <wm0t> jrib did you see it?
[11:09] <wm0t> http://pastebin.ca/74275
[11:09] <nicolas__> nikhil: you'll have to backup the MBR, then but it back after youre done
[11:09] <nikhil> partimage?
[11:09] <epimer> i don't use those icons to access the various partitions (no need to), so they're just cluttering up my desktop
[11:09] <nicolas__> nikhil: recopy the whole partition
[11:09] <nikhil> sweet
[11:09] <nicolas__> nikhil: and pray it'll work without any problems
[11:09] <Jowi> astro_-: two masters. maybe that's where the confusion is... )?)
[11:09] <userundefine> epimer, OK, i'm sure you can.  I'm looking for the option right now... it's in gconf
[11:09] <kbrosnan> wm0t, it sounds like the plugin for java has not been symlinked to firefox's plugin directory
[11:09] <nikhil> nicolas__: haha i will
[11:09] <wm0t> :/
[11:09] <claint> i have updated a breezy to dapper, but when i upgrade, it keeps back 407 packages. how can i fix this?
[11:10] <nikhil> nicolas__: the backup is kind of a sure thing, isn't it?
[11:10] <nicolas__> nikhil: i strongly suggest you use the livecd only
[11:10] <wm0t> what do i do kbrosnan
[11:10] <root__> I would move just the home directory but its not enough...I dont want this to be problemmatic either
[11:10] <nicolas__> nikhil: unless you scratch the cd, it is supposed
[11:10] <Inferus> Hi all, I have set up a wireless card on my laptop, using the fwcutter thing, and i have the icon in my taskbar. Whenever i try and connect to my network, it sits there trying for about a minute then gives up and goes back to two screens and a orange triangle with a ! in it. What do i need to do please?
[11:10] <kbrosnan> wm0t, just a min I am looking at my setup
[11:10] <Fraeon> Well...?
[11:10] <Cntryboy> Ya'll, why when I installed nvidia legacy drivers I didn't need the inux-restricted-modules, but now since I got a newer graphics card I do?
[11:11] <nicolas__> nikhil: if you do so, i suggest making a couple of copies, considering the food you eat depends on your father's job :P
[11:11] <tovella> partimage will allow you to backup the MBR, as well whichever partion you want to backup.  it comes with many live CDs like System Rescue CD http://www.sysresccd.org/
[11:11] <nicolas__> tovella: nice
[11:11] <jrib> wm0t: can you put 'ls -l /usr/lib/firefox/plugins' on there as well.  This will verify kbrosnan's thoughts
[11:11] <nicolas__> nikhil: get that sysreccd
[11:12] <wm0t> yes
[11:12] <wm0t> just a sec
[11:13] <Uglyrock> I am struggling to get DRI enabled under i810 driver for xorg, the module gets loaded, but later the xorg.0.log file shows that it becomes disabled. can anyone help ?
[11:13] <tovella> nikhil: if you have access to a network drive you could store the backup image there, otherwise a USB or FireWire external hard drive may be your best bet.
[11:13] <nicolas__> nikhil: what job his he doing ?
[11:13] <userundefine> epimer, run gconf-editor in terminal, then find Apps > Nautilus > Desktop > Volumes Visible
[11:13] <nicolas__> s/his he/is he
[11:14] <nicolas__> nikhil: if you have plenty of space, defrag it then shrink it
[11:15] <nicolas__> nikhil: then you just have to be vigilent when partitionning while installing ubuntu

[11:20] <SaTaN`> how can i install wine?
[11:20] <chri[s] > SaTaN`, sudo apt-get install wine
[11:20] <jmpmjmpm> tovella: I used them only a few days ago with kubuntu and they worked fine, but not with ubuntu
[11:20] <userundefine> SaTaN`, , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine
[11:21] <jrib> userundefine: I believe that changes only what /etc/alternatives/java points to
[11:21] <Cntryboy> Now I know someone here knows the answer to my question lol.. Help would be much appreciated
[11:21] <tommohawk> any xgl experts out there?
[11:21] <tovella> jmpmjmpm: yeah i got them to work on one of my ubuntu machines, but it really screwed up CUPS on the other.
[11:21] <_absolution_> where do I edit "fluxbox menu" files?
[11:21] <SaTaN`> chri[s]  i tried that, but doesnt work.. :(
[11:21] <nickrud> jrib, I don't have java plugin enabled at the moment, it's firefox-javaplugin.so I think
[11:21] <userundefine> tommohawk, what qualifies an expert
[11:21] <jrib> wm0t: so does, this work maybe? sudo update-alternatives --config firefox-javaplugin
[11:21] <iamelite> !windows
[11:21] <ubotu> For help with Microsoft windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. Also see http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 - !equivalents - http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm
[11:22] <jrib> nickrud: same here :P
[11:22] <tommohawk> userundefine - someone who has it running smoothly!
[11:22] <wm0t> root@wm0t-desktop:~# update-alternatives --config firefox-javaplugin

[11:22] <jmpmjmpm> i think that I installed the cups driver first though and brother says to install the lpr first, is there a way I can install these "fresh" as I can't find an uninstall option
[11:22] <kristian> I tried to add a url as a repos. But I wrote the url wrong, and everytime I try to update the ripos, there is a network problem because of the wrong-writed-url. How do I fix that?
[11:22] <Inferus> kristian,
[11:22] <userundefine> tommohawk, I've got it running flawlessly, but I might be in a minority because I installed it and it Just Worked(tm)
[11:22] <Uglyrock> nickrud: thanks that has produced a result, DRI is now working. I would not have figured that one out by myself, many thanks
[11:22] <Inferus> kristan: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:23] <tommohawk> userundefine - mine works but causes the power management daemon to crash on startup
[11:23] <epimer> hi
[11:23] <nickrud> Uglyrock, the xorg wiki site has a lot of useful info (I once had an i810, that's why I learned about that site ;)
[11:23] <userundefine> tommohawk, Ah, see can't help you there - I'm not running a lappy
[11:23] <epimer> userundefine, sorry to be a pain, but it didn't work
[11:23] <tovella> jmpmjmpm: dpkg -are [package-name]  should remove it.
[11:24] <tommohawk> userundefine - ok thanks anyway!
[11:24] <Cntryboy> why would someone need linux-restricted-modules? I dind't need it when I used geforce 2 with nvidia legacy drivers.. now with geforce fx5500 I need them?
[11:24] <userundefine> epimer, your icons aren't gone?
[11:24] <Uglyrock> nickrud, appreciated :-)
[11:24] <epimer> restarted Gnome, rebooted...the option is still unchecked, but the icons are still there
[11:24] <tovella> jmpmjmpm: -are should be "-r"
[11:24] <jmpmjmpm> tovella: thanks will try now
[11:24] <kbrosnan> wm0t, something close to ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so should work, the paths in the first part might need some tweeking
[11:24] <kristian> inferus, what do i do now? :P totally noob..
[11:24] <Inferus> delete the one u dont want
[11:25] <KuLover> Whats the command to rename a file?
[11:25] <jrib> KuLover: mv
[11:26] <wm0t> no go kbrosnan
[11:26] <tovella> jmpmjmpm: just keep in mind that those drivers have not been maintained for a couple of years now.
[11:26] <jrib> wm0t: you can search for libjavaplugin_oji.so on your system and then try linking, but I'm sure there is a "nicer" way, by just using the alternatives system.  I just don't know it :/
[11:27] <kbrosnan> wm0t, like I said the /usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so part needs to be edited to match up with your system's organization
[11:28] <kristian> infernus, how do I save?
[11:28] <wm0t> i tried that
[11:28] <fiyawerx> if you install kubuntu or xubuntu via apt-get *ubuntu-desktop, is there a way to remove all the packages it installed in one shot?
[11:28] <facerape> does ubuntu come with SAMBA preincluded?
[11:28] <nickrud> fiyawerx, if you use aptitude to install yes; apt-get no
[11:28] <wm0t> no go
[11:28] <wm0t> :/
[11:29] <fiyawerx> nickrud: damn that sucks
[11:29] <facerape> i need to interface with win XP
[11:29] <nickrud> fiyawerx, debfoster takes time, but does the job
[11:29] <fiyawerx> nickrud: hmm, not familiar with that one, will look it up
[11:29] <tovella> facerape: yes.
[11:29] <wm0t> idid root@wm0t-desktop:~# ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.06/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[11:29] <Cntryboy> nickrud: do u know anything about linux-restricted-modules
[11:29] <wm0t> and it still doesnt work
[11:30] <nickrud> Cntryboy, that I need it for nvidia?
[11:30] <fiyawerx> nickrud: so in general i should be doing things like sudo aptitude install debfoster instead of apt-get?
[11:30] <jmpmjmpm> tovella: yes, that seems to have removed them, I will try a re-install in the right order;)
[11:30] <jrib> wm0t: if /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.06/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so exists it should work after closing the browser and starting it again, make sure firefox completely exits by checking the process list
[11:30] <wm0t> yeah
[11:30] <wm0t> i did
[11:30] <fiyawerx> nickrud: and you have to install debfoster first, don't you
[11:30] <chaos_of_apocaly> can someone tell me whats the command to enter the x-server from the shell?
[11:31] <nickrud> fiyawerx, I'd suggest it, personally, and yes about debfoster
[11:31] <Cntryboy> wm0t: try this cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[11:31] <jmpmjmpm> tovella: should I reboot first?
[11:31] <tovella> jmpmjmpm: good for you.  which version of ubuntu?
[11:31] <ApesMa> xgl and compiz don't work and play well with GL screensavers for me. Is this a problem with my configuration, or a known problem with xgl and/or compiz?
[11:31] <Cntryboy> sudo ln -s /usr/local/jre1.5.0_07/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[11:31] <Cntryboy> worked for me
[11:31] <jmpmjmpm> 6.06
[11:31] <Cntryboy> if ur talking about installing java
[11:31] <fiyawerx> nickrud: oh, awesome, i just installed it, and it came up with kubuntu-desktop is keeping the following 339 packages installed:
[11:31] <tovella> jmpmjmpm: glad it worked.  there should be no need to reboot.
[11:31] <fiyawerx> nickrud: thanks for that, will write that one down so i remember it if i reinstall, awesome program
[11:32] <wm0t> we java
[11:32] <nickrud> fiyawerx, yw
[11:32] <wm0t> take off
[11:32] <wm0t> TY all
[11:32] <jmpmjmpm> ok, thanks
[11:32] <Cntryboy> nickrud: yah nvidia, I didn't need it with gforce2 legacy nvid. drivers, but since I got a gforce xf5500 I can't get the nvidia-glx version to work..
[11:32] <BozoBoza> hello. I installed Google Earth using wine, then closed it. But now I cant find it to run it again. Any ideas?
[11:32] <userundefine> ApesMa, I used to get pixellated, blocky screensavers when using XGL.  I think after an upgrade it started working well...
[11:32] <Cntryboy> wm0t: did ya try what I said or no?
[11:32] <ApesMa> userundefne: Interesting. I will give that a try. Thanks.
[11:32] <wm0t> Cntryboy nope
[11:33] <wm0t> i removed
[11:33] <wm0t> some of the alternatives
[11:33] <wm0t> left only one
[11:33] <tovella> BozoBoza: try google earth for linux.
[11:33] <wm0t> removed ln
[11:33] <wm0t> added it again
[11:33] <nickrud> Cntryboy, all I do to enable nvidia 5200 is install restricted-modules-$(uname -r) , nvidia-glx, and edit the xorg to use nvidia instead of nv, iirc
[11:33] <wm0t> and it worked
[11:33] <Cntryboy> kk, thought ya was trying to link it
[11:33] <facerape> my amd 1ghz needs which gfx drivers? IA32 or IA64
[11:33] <fiyawerx> nickrud: yep, looks like debfoster runs just as nice even if it's installed after the packages you want it to take care of :)
[11:33] <BozoBoza> In other words, where does Wine install to? Where is the Program Files?
[11:33] <Cntryboy> nickrud: okay well I apt-get my restr modules and it about done dling
[11:34] <J_P> hi all
[11:34] <nickrud> Cntryboy, yes, you definitely need the kernel module that comes with restricted modules
[11:34] <Jack_Sparrow> facerape: I would think 32
[11:34] <facerape> whats the difference?
[11:34] <Cntryboy> im going to try to install the glx version again and then sudo nvidia-xconfig enable
[11:34] <Jack_Sparrow> 32bit 64 bit
[11:34] <Cntryboy> nickrud: so why didn't the nvidia legacy drivers need them?
[11:34] <Jack_Sparrow> a 1ghz box will not be 64
[11:34] <NickGarvey> !grub
[11:34] <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
[11:34] <facerape> no shit
[11:35] <BozoBoza> !wine
[11:35] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[11:35] <nickrud> Cntryboy, not sure. I've never had the need to learn about the older nvidia cards.
[11:35] <udo> you can i install access runner usb modem drivers for ubuntu dapper?
[11:35] <ApesMa> userundefine: synaptic claims I'm up to date, even after a reload. Which version of nvidia-glx do you have?
[11:35] <Cntryboy> nickrud: okay
[11:35] <jmpmjmpm> no, not working still. I am confused as to why these worked under kubuntu and will not with ubuntu
[11:35] <facerape> im trying to work out which gfx driver to get for a geforce4 on an amd 1ghz
[11:36] <J_P> hey all, why scp jp@192.168.0.2:/etc/init<TAB> doesn't work ? Why TAB not work ? I test in sarge this example and works! Anyone configuracoes ? anyone idea ?
[11:36] <BozoBoza> can you hear me ?
[11:38] <jmpmjmpm> I have a brother dcp-110c printer that is detected by dapper. There wasn't a driver file already installed so I visited brother's website and found the brother cups wrapper and lpr driver (.deb packages). I downloaded them and installed but the printer is still not available and the correct driver does not show in the "add printer" dialog. I think I may have installed the cups wrapper driver before the lpr driver by mistake and B
[11:38] <jmpmjmpm> I know the packages work as I installed them while using kubuntu on thesame pc only a few days ago, but then the printer showed up straightaway, but not this time.
[11:38] <jmpmjmpm> Any ideas how I can make the printer work would be appreciated.
[11:38] <Cntryboy> nickrud: this is error I get when I try to install the nvid drivers again..
[11:38] <udo> you can i install access runner usb modem drivers for ubuntu dapper?
[11:38] <Cntryboy> nickrud: cd@cd-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[11:38] <Cntryboy> Reading package lists... Done
[11:38] <Cntryboy> Building dependency tree... Done
[11:38] <Cntryboy> nvidia-glx is already the newest version.
[11:38] <Cntryboy> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 90 not upgraded.
[11:40] <nickrud> Cntryboy, that doesn't look like an error, just the package already installed. Does xorg have nv or nvidia referenced as the video driver?
[11:40] <livingdaylight> where do i change the font and font size of my Terminal?
[11:40] <neg`> out of interest
[11:40] <Cntryboy> nickrud: when I try to glxinfo |grep NVIDIA it says a lot of stuff about missing Xlib stuff, but it didn't earlier
[11:40] <userundefine> livingdaylight, in terminal Edit > Profiles > Edit
[11:41] <Dial_tone> livingdaylight, xterm or console?
[11:41] <nickrud> Cntryboy, you have 90 updates available; if any X is in there ...
[11:41] <tovella> jmpmjmpm: are you using a usb connection with that printer?
[11:41] <Cntryboy> nickrud: but I didn't have this problem earlier not sure whats up now.. errors like Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[11:41] <Cntryboy> Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual
[11:41] <Cntryboy> it's like my nvidia drivers are installed, but didn't install glx stuff
[11:41] <livingdaylight> Dial_tone: console i think
[11:42] <nickrud> Cntryboy, I'd need to see xorg.conf & the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[11:42] <livingdaylight> userundefine: i get to edt>Profiles but there is no 3rd Edit
[11:42] <userundefine> livingdaylight, select the profile.
[11:42] <jmpmjmpm> tovella: yes, and it is detected in the "add printers" dialog, but no reference to the correct driver. When I installed it in kubuntu it just showed up, already configured
[11:43] <Cntryboy> nickrud: okay js let me check something really fast
[11:43] <livingdaylight> userundefine: i have but the 'Edit' button does not highlight
[11:43] <tovella> jmpmjmpm: from what i remember (three months ago) I had to disconnect, the reconnect the usb cable.
[11:43] <userundefine> livingdaylight, select whatever profile is there.  Default probably
[11:44] <livingdaylight> userundefine: Defualt yea and then?
[11:44] <userundefine> livingdaylight, then Edit
[11:44] <tovella> jmpmjmpm: then when i re-opened the "printers" dialog, it was there.
[11:44] <livingdaylight> userundefine: oh. got it. it wasn't highlighted which is why i couldn't enter 'Edit'
[11:44] <Cntryboy> nickrud: http://pastebin.ca/74299
[11:44] <Cntryboy> let me get the other u asked for
[11:45] <userundefine> livingdaylight, heh yes
[11:45] <leboff> Hey, i'm trying to install ubuntu on a laptop of mine and at boot i get the message "Soft lockup detetected on CPU#0" The itll work for about a second.. freeze for 10 seconds.. work for a second.. etc
[11:45] <leboff> anyone think they can help?
[11:45] <nox-Hand> Hey
[11:45] <livingdaylight> userundefine: ok,i've actually been here alredy. I changed the background here but i stilll don't see how to change fornt and font size
[11:45] <nox-Hand> What is the correct command to get Java that will work in Firefox?
[11:45] <jmpmjmpm> tovella: hmm, not working, very strange!
[11:46] <userundefine> livingdaylight, it's the first thing you see.  It's under the 'general' tab.  It's the second option
[11:46] <gnufied> how do i configure freetype2 with truetype bytecode rendering in dapper?
[11:46] <Cntryboy> nickrud: heres the log http://pastebin.ca/74300
[11:46] <gnufied> my fonts look really bad on my notebook!!
[11:46] <gnufied> its really awful compared to suse10!!
[11:46] <tovella> jmpmjmpm: that's why i ultimately removed the drivers from both machines.  i think they're too old for Dapper.
[11:47] <livingdaylight> userundefine: duh...the box was ticked. Now that i've unticked it, yes, its all there, thx
[11:47] <nickrud> that log file is from the last nv driver run, have you restarted X yet? Necessary for the xorg to be reread
[11:48] <`underOATH> how do i run a .bin file ?
[11:48] <kdefreak> `underOATH: sh file.bin
[11:48] <`underOATH> thanks kdefreak !
[11:48] <jmpmjmpm> tovella: yes, but kubuntu version was also dapper and worked flawlessly
[11:48] <`underOATH> :)
[11:48] <Cntryboy> nickrud: well when I last installed the glx and lost vision of everything, i rebooted and reconfig x so I could get back where im at now.. I'm scared to restart x because I dont just go to a command prompt and lose X i lose visual of my screen.
[11:48] <kdefreak> yw
[11:48] <jmpmjmpm> I think there is a link to the driver missing or something
[11:48] <nox-Hand> I really need to know, theres a new Linux user here, who says if he doesn't get it to work soon, he will use XP :( I am helping an unstable newbie :P
[11:49] <`underOATH> kdefreak: "hldsupdatetool.bin: cannot execute binary file"
[11:49] <`underOATH> :/
[11:49] <tovella> jmpmjmpm: IMHO, if it works sometimes and not others, it's just not reliable enough.
[11:49] <Cntryboy> nickrud: and how do you get its from the last nv driver ran?
[11:49] <kdefreak> `underOATH: sh filename.bin should work it does with everyother bin file
[11:50] <`underOATH> thats what i did and it said that :(
[11:50] <kdefreak> `underOATH: maybe a bad file/download?
[11:50] <jmpmjmpm> tovella: true, but I have to keep at it, the ink is very cheap;)
[11:50] <`underOATH> maybe, i will try redownloading
[11:50] <nickrud> Cntryboy, you can always use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to get the X back to operational; and I saw it from (II) NV(0): Initializing int10 ; it would be NVIDIA if you were running the nvidia driver
[11:50] <freezey> got that new underoath cd?
[11:50] <`underOATH> yeah
[11:50] <`underOATH> it's sick
[11:50] <loss> Anyone that knows how to get games with StarForce to work on Ubuntu?
[11:50] <freezey> its decent
[11:50] <freezey> alot harder
[11:50] <`underOATH> i love the first song
[11:51] <tovella> `underOATH: make sure the file's permissions are set so that you can execute it.
[11:51] <Cntryboy> nickrud: so what do I do?
[11:51] <freezey> agreed
[11:51] <`underOATH> tovella. how can i do that ?
[11:51] <socket7> does anyone here have experience with making the idectl script work properly?
[11:51] <freezey> i like a moment suspended in time
[11:51] <rpedro> loss: /j #cedega
[11:51] <`underOATH> i like the whole cd really
[11:51] <`underOATH> you like the new taking back sunday freezey ?
[11:51] <tovella> `underOATH: 'chmod +x [filename] '
[11:52] <cntb> found an Rpm vmware for example how debian or for that matter ubuntu may treat RPM?
[11:52] <Cntryboy> nickrud: thats my prob I don't think nvid drivers are installed right or something I dunno
[11:52] <`underOATH> alright tovella
[11:52] <Cntryboy> didn't have this prob with legacy drivers with gforce 2
[11:52] <freezey> `underoath: yeah i like them
[11:52] <`underOATH> they are my favorite band as of now :)
[11:52] <KenSentMe> How can i get firefox to reach the network folders i have connected to in nautilus?
[11:52] <Cntryboy> nickrud: I'm going to try apt-get remove nvidia-glx and start all over
[11:53] <nickrud> Cntryboy, make sure that linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) is installed, nvidia-glx is installed, and nvidia is referenced in the xorg. Restart
[11:53] <KenSentMe> Can i get firefox to use nautilus to 'browse' for files?
[11:53] <ablyss> KenSentMe, no
[11:53] <Cntryboy> nickrud: how do I see if glx is installed, I don't think it is because glxgears doesn't work
[11:53] <freezey> kensentme: do you use nautilus to network up windows pc's or just linux pc's?
[11:53] <ablyss> KenSentMe, the best you can do is use the file URL standard i.e., file :///
[11:54] <nickrud> Cntryboy, you must restart. Take the plunge ;)
[11:54] <Cntryboy> nickrud: when I do glxinfo |grep NVIDIA I get stuff like Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[11:54] <Cntryboy> Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual

[11:56] <gatekeeper> vilefridge: are you sure the sound is turned on bring up a terminal and use alsamixer to check
[11:56] <smax> help
[11:56] <sysdoc> You have to creat one for root
[11:56] <tovella> facerape: you must change it using 'sudo passwd'
