[12:00] <Sanne> paddedwall, I just remember something
[12:01] <eternaljoy> mwe: it doesnt work for me!  when I type /ignore mwe for example, it says:  Usage: IGNORE <mask> <types..> <options..> mask - host mask to ignore, eg: *!*@*.aol.com types - types of data to ignore, one or all of PRIV, CHAN, NOTI, CTCP, DCC, INVI, ALL
[12:01] <dagrump_> skavenge: i c something fly by that might help later note on paper most folks dont
[12:01] <askyleX> penguin42: more than breaking, it just dddrrraaaggeeedd slowly, we never got to see the partition config dialog (it seemed to freeze when we got to 50% on the progress bar there)
[12:01] <Jack_Sparrow> eternaljoy: You might like Konversation... for IRC
[12:01] <paddedwall> jack_sparrow i'll check that next time I reboot
[12:01] <Sanne> paddedwall, if you have an sata2 disk, you might try to let it run as sata1. I think the sata2 controller gave some problems.
[12:01] <thiago>  Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" what is this?
[12:01] <penguin42> askyleX: Interesting
[12:01] <dagrump_> ive got a pile of notes
[12:01] <eternaljoy> Jack_Sparrow: and I may dislike it too :)
[12:01] <skavenge> dagrump_: as do i, its a good practice, i keep a little notebook with useful commands etc, solutions to problems ppl get in here etc
[12:01] <paddedwall> sanne my sata disks are sata1
[12:01] <penguin42> thiago: Your system is misisng working 3D drivers
[12:02] <Jack_Sparrow> eternaljoy: You are a true Optimist..
[12:02] <userone> penguin24: ok..yes..I only need to view it....I thought some graphics converter might convert it to, say, jpg..I just need some ideas to try...
[12:02] <thiago> penguin42, nvidia driver?
[12:02] <penguin42> userone: To do a convert you ahve to be able to understand the format; I don't think anything knows how to read MS Publisher
[12:02] <eobanb> userone, i highly doubt there exists such a converter
[12:02] <eternaljoy> Jack_Sparrow: cheers :)
[12:02] <Sanne> paddedwall, oh, then this is not the case. But the fact that the live cd worked might tell us that it may be some problem with your disks.
[12:02] <userone> penguin24: eobanb: thanks..I had to try!! :-)
[12:02] <penguin42> thiago: if you have an nvidia card then yes thats what you need to work
[12:03] <eobanb> userone, as i said before, your best bet by far is to either find a windows system around with MS publisher, try to run publisher under wine, or ask for the file in a different format
[12:03] <Surfer> hi
[12:03] <thiago> penguin42, i have installed nvidia
[12:03] <eobanb> welcome, Surfer
[12:03] <paddedwall> jack_sparrow i'm going to try installing again after checking the sata bios settings
[12:03] <askyleX> penguin42: now, i''m guessing it's just that her box has barely enough ram to handle the livecd
[12:03] <Odei> how would I chmod a directory to let my account move files there without root acces?
[12:03] <eobanb> !chmod
[12:03] <ubotu> I know nothing about chmod
[12:03] <askyleX> eobanb: had i known that earlier... *downloading alternate now*
[12:03] <Jack_Sparrow> K brb
[12:04] <Sanne> paddedwall, and please be sure to share your knowl... oh, gone.
[12:04] <eobanb> askyle, as far as i know it needs 128 MB RAM
[12:04] <skavenge> askyleX; i would think that with not having to load X to install if it is just a ram issue the alternate would work well
[12:04] <pussman> Just how hard is it to get wine set up and run a windows app such as microsoft office? I am curious for I am demoing crossover currently and am not too crazy about it.
[12:04] <eobanb> skavenge, negative, the liveCD needs 128 MB ram
[12:04] <Niomi> thanks for your time -- a process called events/0 is eating up 60%-90% of my CPU constantly. i have a hunch this has to do with my wireless Ethernet card not functioning. what can i do? i didn't have this problem before i reformated my laptop and re-installed ubuntu dapper fresh. my old system was upgraded to dapper from breezy.
[12:05] <kimo> !wine
[12:05] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[12:05] <efox> hey hey
[12:05] <Niomi> !events/0
[12:05] <ubotu> I know nothing about events/0
[12:05] <skavenge> eobanb; regardless huh? thats wierd id figure the graphical install would require more
[12:05] <fazex> Anyone know how to get wine installed? Followed the directions from wineHQ but Adept says error reading the site
[12:05] <efox> does wine only work for new installations or can it work on existed installations ?
[12:05] <bimberi> eobanb: 256MB (on the sleeve)
[12:05] <kimo> !wine
[12:05] <eobanb> oh, sorry
[12:05] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[12:05] <eobanb> haha.
[12:05] <eobanb> 256 MB then.
[12:05] <efox> fazex: i just installed it with synaptics
[12:06] <askyleX> skavenge, eobanb: i'll try the alternate anyway... thx : )
[12:06] <askyleX> yay, ghost is dead!
[12:06] <skavenge> good luck
[12:06] <userone> ok..penguin24, eobanb, sanne...thanks for your help..bye!
[12:07] <kimo> askyle: why is it deadd
[12:07] <askyle> bimberi: that explains a lot : )
[12:07] <Minsc> Sorry to repeat my question, but.,.. I've got the infinite sound loop problem. Whenever a sound is played, the first half second of it loops forever, and everything else stalls. The strangest part is that this only occurs in my installed ubuntu, but the live cd works fine.
[12:07] <askyle> kimo: i was connected as "askyle", but then my connection froze or something, so i reconnected
[12:07] <bimberi> askyle: good :)
[12:07] <snoops> haha sorry Minsc.. I love the irony of that
[12:08] <GIBson3> Minsc: What sound daemon are you using?
[12:08] <ardchoille> askyle: did you use /ghost ?
[12:08] <kimo> askyle: I thought u were talking about ghostsript :)
[12:08] <askyle> kimo: no : )
[12:08] <skavenge> askyle: if you are registered with nickserv i think there is a command to kill it
[12:08] <ardchoille> skavenge: yes,  /ghost nick password
[12:08] <skavenge> ive heard of something like that
[12:08] <skavenge> ah i see
[12:08] <askyle> ardchoille, skavenge: true, but i'm not registered yet -- this is my first time in the channel : )
[12:09] <ardchoille> askyle: ah, I see
[12:09] <pussman> Oh look its a bird, no its a plane, noooooooooo its pussman.
[12:09] <ChrisC_> What is the default movie player for Ubuntu 6.06?  (I know it was Totem for 5.10)
[12:09] <axs221> my mouse pointer is sometimes hidden, for example in Firefox's Customize Toolbar, hovering over the buttons. Anyone new have any ideas how to fix this?
[12:09] <skavenge> totem still
[12:09] <bimberi> ChrisC_: totem
[12:09] <kb1ibt> kimo: how long do you think it will be, before cairo 1.2.0 hits the repositories?
[12:09] <Surfer> could anyone help me...? I'm trying to install Dapper on my laptop but when i choose to load livecd, only "uncompressing kernel... ok. booting the kernel" appears and everything stops. I tried to run livecd with acpi=off and it works but i think that this shouldn't be solution... is there any fix for this problem? If i try to install ubuntu from livecd with acpi turned off, will installed ubuntu have acpi turned off?
[12:09] <ChrisC_> bimberi: thanks
[12:09] <bimberi> ChrisC_: yw :)
[12:09] <GIBson3> After switching monitors My X-Org is now stuck in 640x480.
[12:09] <Minsc> GIBson3: Using ALSA
[12:09] <GIBson3> Hurm
[12:10] <snoops> how can I assign a mouse key to another mouse key on my mouse?
[12:10] <kimo> kb1ibt: maybe never, coz dapper is stable now ? (but then I dont know)
[12:10] <Minsc> (sorry for the delay)
[12:10] <snoops> like, hitting left mouse, is like pressing right mouse.. for instance
[12:10] <facefaceface> gtk-config: command not found ???\
[12:10] <GIBson3> Minsc: have you tried other daemons and what sound card are you running?
[12:10] <facefaceface> like, what do I need to apt-get to get gtk-config?
[12:11] <Minsc> GIBson3: I'm using a Ensoniq 5880 creative sound blaster. There have been some reports of problems with it, I've seen on ubuntuforums.org
[12:11] <kb1ibt> kimo: bleh i don't want to have to install if from source if i don't have to
[12:11] <ChrisC_> On breezy/5.10, I had abandoned Totem and was finding MPlayer perfectly functional, especailly for odd file formats.  But now when I try to run MPlayer, I only get a quick error popup (that disappears).  Next troubleshooting step?
[12:11] <kimo> kb1ibt: why do u need it ?
[12:11] <ChrisC_> Sorry, I've upgrade to dapper/6.06
[12:11] <Minsc> GIBson3: No, I haven't tried any other sound daemons. ALSA worked fine in previous versions of ubuntu with the same soundcard
[12:11] <niki> is the JACK server what i should look into if i'm interested in using multiple audio apps at the same time?
[12:11] <bimberi> Surfer: probably no fix, unless you make your own livecd.  I don't know what the installer will do but you can edit grub boot options during boot to add acpi=off anyway
[12:11] <facefaceface> ChrisC_ did you install from source?
[12:11] <askyle> ChrisC_ did you run mplayer from the command line?
[12:11] <facefaceface> ChrisC_,  (mplayer I mean)
[12:11] <ChrisC_> facefaceface: nope, just a synaptic install
[12:11] <ardchoille> ChrisC_: run MPlayer from a term and see if there is any error output
[12:12] <ChrisC_> askyle: yes, but it just gives me usage info
[12:12] <askyle> you have to give it a filename
[12:12] <GIBson3> minsc: Hurm, I can't say that I've used one with ALSA =(  Mine died with my Celeron 400.
[12:12] <kb1ibt> kimo: i'm trying to help with the webkit.org project and w/o out it during the compile it errors out (error: cairo_scaled_font_text_extents was not declared in this scope)
[12:12] <ChrisC_> testing ...
[12:12] <GIBson3> Minsc: it worked with Breezy?
[12:12] <facefaceface> how do I use apt to find a specific file?
[12:12] <facefaceface> gtk-config?
[12:12] <bimberi> Surfer: ...and once booted, edit the grub config file /boot/grub/menu.lst to add the option to make it permanent
[12:12] <kimo> kb1ibt: http://cairographics.org/packages/debian/README.txt
[12:13] <Lynoure> facefaceface: file in a package or or package?
[12:13] <Minsc> GIBson3: Yup. Though there were some wierd problems there that suddenly appeared one day. The sound quality dropped really badly. No idea why. Perhaps that's related...
[12:13] <askyle> facefaceface: iirc apt-cache has an option for that, try man apt-cache ?
[12:13] <facefaceface> Lynoure, erm...
[12:13] <facefaceface> askyle, tried, no joy
[12:13] <ChrisC_> OK, mplayer worked from the command line, so something must be wrong with the Gnome menu.  Lemmee look into that ...
[12:13] <bimberi> facefaceface: you need to install apt-file to do that, or do a contents search on http://packages.ubuntu.com
[12:13] <Sanne> facefaceface, you can also try packages.ubuntu.com, section "Search the contents of packages" for a file.
[12:13] <GIBson3> Minsc: did you do any updates?
[12:13] <Lynoure> facefaceface: if you want to find which package out of those you have installed has a specific file, that's    dkpg-l filename
[12:13] <fazex> Can anyone help me with wine install I get this when i apt-get updateFailed to fetch http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/dists/dapper/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  404 Not Found
[12:14] <askyle> ChricC_: _or_ with the mplayer gui stuff
[12:14] <GIBson3> (when the quality issues occured)
[12:14] <kimo> !wine
[12:14] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[12:14] <Minsc> GIBson3: No. Updates of what?
[12:14] <facefaceface> dkpg-l command not found... will try the website...
[12:14] <skavenge> apt-cache search will find  a package but i dont think it will do a file in a package
[12:14] <GIBson3> through the Update-manager, synaptic, et cetera
[12:14] <Minsc> GIBson3: My plan was to just wait until Dapper fixed the problem. =/
[12:14] <Lynoure> facefaceface: but for others, what Sanne said, but at least 2 months ago that site had way old indexes of package content, not up to date at all
[12:14] <GIBson3> Ahh
[12:14] <bimberi> Lynoure: dpkg -l lists the installation status of a package
[12:14] <ardchoille> facefaceface: it's dpkg -l  not  dpkg-l
[12:15] <Sanne> fazex, I thought there's no wine for amd64.
[12:15] <facefaceface> ;)
[12:15] <ChrisC_> OK, the menu calls for "gmplayer".  That won't run because the skin I had selected wasn't found.
[12:15] <facefaceface> ;) ... dkpg: command not found ... lol
[12:15] <skavenge> dpkg
[12:15] <Lynoure> bimberi: oops, should not work this late (01:15 or so here)
[12:15] <GIBson3> ok one second, let me fix my resolution so I can actually see the Packages list in Synaptic :)
[12:15] <ardchoille> ChrisC_: that seems to be common lately
[12:15] <kb1ibt> kimo: even with those it only gets up to 1.1.10
[12:15] <bimberi> Lynoure: lol, that's early for some!  but not me either :)
[12:16] <Minsc> GIBson3: Anyways, the question I have to ask primarily is, "why would this infinite sound loop occur in my ubuntu installation but not when I run from the live cd?"
[12:16] <Surfer> bimberi: if i'm not wrong the acpi is quite useful... I suppose that because of turning this off I have no sound and propably more things are not working... i tried to google this problem but i didn't find anything what could help me... if it is a kernel problem, can I make own livecd with newer kernel or maybe there is somewhere one that I could download and try...?
[12:16] <xanatos_> join #centos
[12:16] <Pennypacker> Does anyone know how to replace Ubuntu's default Save As/Open dialog window with one that looks more like KDE's (or Windows) Save As/Open dialog window?
[12:16] <ChrisC_> ardchoille: yeah, probably the breezy->dapper upgrade process eats the skins or something
[12:16] <Lynoure> bimberi: dpkg -S filename, of course
[12:16] <howy424> Hi, I installed ubuntu yesterday for the first time, now I have my first problem, it won't boot. It is looking on the correct HD, in my case "/root/hdb1" but fails to mount several things, ending in Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[12:16] <facefaceface> cool, I found ... usr/bin/gtk-config --> libdevel/libgtk1.2-dev
[12:16] <ChrisC_> does anyone know where user information about mplayer skin pref is stored?
[12:17] <Sanne> fazex, nope, look here, there's no amd64 repository: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/dists/dapper/main/
[12:17] <ardchoille> ChrisC_: nope, I install a distro from CD , never upgrade, and I installed MPlayer and had the same problem.
[12:17] <Jack_Sparrow> howy424: Did you do anything that might have caused it like install windows?
[12:17] <askyle> ChrisC_: ~/.mplayer ?
[12:17] <ardchoille> ChrisC_: ~/.mplayer is what you need
[12:17] <Fata1> ahhhh
[12:17] <Fata1> another crash
[12:17] <ChrisC_> that's where I 'm looking ...
[12:17] <Fata1> getting a bit old...
[12:17] <Pennypacker> howy, your issue may may lie with the boot manager.
[12:17] <Fata1> this time, it happened when the screen saver started
[12:17] <GIBson3> Minsc: if you have gotten any of the system updates since the initial release it's possible that something was "updated" the other possibility is that there is a setting that is different in the installed version
[12:18] <howy424> Jack_Sparrow: I already had Xp installed on a seperate HD
[12:18] <roostishaw> what command do i use to start apache2?
[12:18] <GIBson3> I'm not really sure, I haven't had it happen.
[12:18] <kb1ibt> kimo: not gunna work libcairo2:
[12:18] <kb1ibt>   Depends: libc6 (>=2.3.6-6) but 2.3.6-0ubuntu20 is to be installed
[12:18] <kb1ibt>   Depends: libfreetype6 (>=2.2) but 2.1.10-1ubuntu2.1 is to be installed
[12:18] <Sanne> fazex, but there's a howto for wine 32 bit on amd64 in here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=191205
[12:18] <ardchoille> roostishaw: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[12:18] <Jack_Sparrow> howy424: IT helps us to help you when we have all the info like dual drives XP on one Ub on the other
[12:18] <Fata1> if memtest shows no error and i still freeze, wtf is going on?
[12:18] <facefaceface> now I have a question about "atp-get install" ... what is all this business about suggestd packages / recommended packages... should I just ignore that if I don't know about the other packages?
[12:18] <Fata1> linux is supposed to be stable :(
[12:18] <bimberi> Surfer: i'm really not sure, there might be other boot options that get you going with acpi (i've seen pci=nolapic, or something like that mentioned).  As for making your own LiveCD - that's pretty involved but there is a guide on http://wiki.ubuntu.com iirc
[12:19] <facefaceface> ardchoille, why don't ubuntu have the 'service' command?
[12:19] <askyle> facefaceface: it is "suggested/recommended" that you have a look at them and install them if you want
[12:19] <bimberi> Lynoure: yes, that'll work (as long as the package is installed) :)
[12:19] <Pennypacker> Fata, the problem facing you may already be well documented...did you check out the Wiki/forums?
[12:19] <facefaceface> askyle, can I just ignore them?
[12:19] <howy424> Jack_Sparrow: sure, sorry about that
[12:19] <CAsurfer> can someone help me with a problem? I have compiz working in dapper, and it's perfect except whenever I open a window, it appears in the far upper left corner of the screen, such that the window decoration is completely obscured
[12:19] <Pennypacker> Fata, you should also consider google.com/linux
[12:19] <Fata1> last time i checked, the forums were down
[12:20] <Sanne> Fata1, it might have something to do with your graphics card/driver. What do you use?
[12:20] <askyle> facefaceface: yep -- if you couldn't, they would be dependencies
[12:20] <Pennypacker> CAsurfer, what do you mean by obscured? Can you be more descriptive?
[12:20] <facefaceface> askyle, heheh, OK :)
[12:20] <ardchoille> Fata1: forums work fine here
[12:20] <Fata1> ive got an ATI Radeon 9500 non pro
[12:20] <Pennypacker> Fata, the forums are back up.
[12:20] <Lynoure> bimberi: which is what I said. But as only I think last week the fix was committed for updating the package contents on the site, and before that they were from months ago, I wasn't sure if the indexes were already being updated, or not
[12:20] <Sanne> Fata1, which driver do you use?
[12:20] <AreEmmKay> How do I emulate a right-click with a control-click (OS X style)?
[12:21] <askyle> facefaceface: so while it's (theoretically) safe to ignore them, it wouldn't hurt to check them out as well : )
[12:21] <Jack_Sparrow> howy424:  Can you think of anything you were doing that ight have changed it..?
[12:21] <Fata1> i havent changed anything, but on the windows portion of the harddrive, it is the hacked catalyst drivers the mod my card to a 9700
[12:21] <Lynoure> bimberi: and, alas, too sleepy to go looking. Short short weekend, too many things to do, too little sleep :)
[12:21] <facefaceface> cc: command not found - bleha
[12:21] <facefaceface> askyle, OK
[12:21] <dli> facefaceface, gcc
[12:21] <bimberi> Lynoure: really? i didn't know that (and find it a bit suprising) :)
[12:21] <askyle> Lynoure: that sounds like my world
[12:21] <CAsurfer> Pennypacker, when windows appear, they're complete, it's just that they're aligned with the top of my (physical) display, when they should be aligned with the bottom of the application bar
[12:21] <dli> facefaceface, install build-essential , if not found
[12:21] <Jack_Sparrow> howy424: There is a super grub repair CD ISO that might repir your grub
[12:21] <facefaceface> dli, I only got gcc-4.0
[12:21] <facefaceface> dli, OK
[12:22] <ChrisC_> still not sure what my mplayer skin problem is ... it complains that it can't find the file "/usr/share/mplayer/Skin/default/skin", which indeed does not exist, but "/usr/share/mplayer/Skin/default/" does exist ...
[12:22] <dli> facefaceface, gcc should be a link to a version
[12:22] <Lynoure> bimberi: me too, ran into it when looking for a certain screensaver, and had to report a bug about it back then...
[12:22] <facefaceface> dli, sure... still getting used to apt ... I installed gcc-4.0 without knowing what I was really doing
[12:22] <howy424> yes, I installed bluefish "apt-get install blufish" & quanta "apt-get install quanta", then needed to boot back into XP, when I cam back is where I hit the wall
[12:23] <Pennypacker> CAsurfer, why should applications be aligned with the top bar instead of the bottom one?  I am not sure I see the issue here.  Is something covering application windows, causing them to become obscured?
[12:23] <livingdaylight> someone know about sbackup?
[12:23] <howy424> Jack_Sparrow: my apologies, I also installed wine
[12:24] <askyle> ChrisC_: is there anything inside the directory?
[12:24] <Jack_Sparrow> howy424: Everything is a clue
[12:24] <livingdaylight> where is Sbackup?
[12:24] <Jack_Sparrow> howy424: can you get into windows or are you in WIndows
[12:24] <CAsurfer> Pennypacker, what I should have said is that windows should appear in a location no higher than that which would cause them to be aligned with the bottom of the top bar.  The problem is that when windows appear, they appear too high up in the display, such that the top part of the window is cut off by the top bar (application bar)
[12:24] <howy424> JS: I;m in windows now
[12:24] <niki> is there a way to reset alsa?
[12:24] <Ademan> anyone here familiar with inkscape?
[12:25] <Jack_Sparrow> howy424:  So did you fdisk /mbr to get XP back?
[12:25] <Pennypacker> CAsurfer, I am pretty sure I now know what you mean. Give me a second to pull up a screenshot, and I'll see if you and I are on the same page.
[12:25] <howy424> JS: no, I restarted and booted into windows
[12:26] <Jack_Sparrow> howy424: If you type the first few letters of my nick and hit tab it will autocomplete for you
[12:26] <ChrisC_> askyle: yes, lots of skin files :)  just nothing called "skin"
[12:26] <howy424> Jack_Sparrow: oh cool, thanks
[12:26] <livingdaylight> where is sbackup, anyone know?
[12:26] <Jack_Sparrow> howy424:  Did grub menu come up?
[12:26] <dagrump_> CAsurfer: alt+hold lt mouse &drag them down
[12:26] <catch23> anyone know why a mkfs & raid resync would cause a system to lockup?
[12:27] <askyle> Jack_Sparrow: thanks to you i found out Opera does the autocompletion thingy too, thanks : )
[12:27] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[12:27] <CAsurfer> dagrump. Yes, I can do that, but it's kinda irritating. Especially when I want to show it off to my friends.
[12:27] <Fata1> come to think of it, i think i may have had hardware issues from the start
[12:27] <Fata1> i remember when the installation froze when i opened up a game while it was going
[12:27] <howy424> Jack_Sparrow: I am not 100% sure what you mean by grub menu, but the initial UB screen came up starting to show the list of things loading, then it returned to the command line
[12:27] <livingdaylight> hello, anyone know about backingup?
[12:27] <ChrisC_> hmmm, I see that it really does need that "skin" file, must have gotten eaten somehow.  I'll have to rebuild it.
[12:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Fata1: That would do it..
[12:27] <facefaceface> Couldn't find package libjpeg
[12:27] <ChrisC_> askyle: thanks for your basic help :)
[12:28] <Fata1> rofl, no, i fixed it.
[12:28] <ChrisC_> gotta go
[12:28] <Fata1> i just had to boot into windows and it being so godly easy to use fixed the partition
[12:28] <askyle> ChrisC_: that's ungood, there should be one
[12:28] <Fata1> then i ran the installation again
[12:28] <livingdaylight> gawd
[12:28] <Jack_Sparrow> howy424:  but it came up to a menu with option for XP or Ub right?
[12:28] <dagrump_> CAsurfer: such is the plight of man
[12:28] <howy424> Jack_Sparrow: yep, absolutely
[12:28] <livingdaylight> ok, thx
[12:29] <Jack_Sparrow> howy424:  so grub is OK
[12:29] <Jack_Sparrow> You UB is hosed
[12:29] <livingdaylight> i can't believe out of 700 people now one knows about sbackup
[12:29] <howy424> Jack_Sparrow: great
[12:29] <Pennypacker> CAsurfer, check out this screenshot: http://img130.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screentakeover27cd.png
[12:29] <Jack_Sparrow> howy424:  when you installed Wine
[12:29] <GIBson3> BRB
[12:29] <Pennypacker> CAsurfer, does that describe what you're talking about?  Notice how the top bar is cover the top of the window.
[12:29] <livingdaylight> there are 700 people here on ubuntu chnnel and no one knows about sbackup
[12:29] <CAsurfer> Pennypacker, that's it!
[12:29] <facefaceface> bleah... do I have to manually install things like libjpeg / libgif / etc?
[12:29] <Jack_Sparrow> livingdaylight:  did you google it..?
[12:30] <penguin42> facefaceface: Try libjpeg62
[12:30] <howy424> Jack_Sparrow: "when you installed wine"?? do you mean when did I install wine?
[12:30] <askyle> livingdaylight: did you apt-cache search sbackup ?
[12:30] <livingdaylight> Jack_Sparrow: what is google?
[12:30] <CAsurfer> Pennypacker, is there a guide that says how to fix this? Or do you know what this problem is called?
[12:30] <facefaceface> Penguin, cool, its installed
[12:30] <penguin42> facefaceface: apt-cache search   is your friend
[12:30] <askyle> livingdaylight: : http://www.google.com
[12:30] <livingdaylight> Folks: i installed it from synaptic, but i don't see it anywhere?
[12:30] <facefaceface> how about libpcap
[12:30] <Jack_Sparrow> howy424: yes when you installed wine something went wrong...
[12:31] <penguin42> facefaceface: apt-cache search   is your friend
[12:31] <askyle> facefaceface: no.... if you install something that needs it, apt takes care of it
[12:31] <facefaceface> Penguin, ;)
[12:31] <Seveas> we're all friends ;)
[12:31] <ice228> i installed firestarter, can anyone please tellmehow to run it ?
[12:31] <livingdaylight>  ok. I installed sbackup from Synaptic but now i don't see it anywhere and it wont launch from the terminal either
[12:31] <facefaceface> askyle, yeah... I am trying to compile some obscure software...
[12:31] <Pennypacker> CAsurfer, alright...the good news is that we're on the same page.  The bad news is that I too am having this problem, and I am currently looking for a solution.  The best solution is, as I have done (although for different reasons), is to drag down the top bar to the bottom, and removing the bottom bar.  It works well, and I am a lot more efficient this way.  Unfortunately, I don't know what it is called, but I was thinking of calling a t
[12:31] <facefaceface> obscure but fun... (driftnet)
[12:31] <askyle> livingdaylight: on a console, try man sbackup
[12:31] <askyle> facefaceface: ouch : )

[12:32] <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
[12:32] <penguin42> facefaceface: If you are trying to compile you want the -dev versions of the packages as well - they have the libraries and headers for building against
[12:32] <Pennypacker> Casurfer, I am not sure that would be descriptive enough of a thread title though.
[12:32] <howy424> Jack_Sparrow: OK, I see. I installed it using the instructions from winehq.com, so ohw do I remedy this?
[12:32] <facefaceface> Penguin, yup
[12:32] <livingdaylight> askyle: wont work
[12:32] <Pennypacker> Casurfer, this seems annoying enough for developers to be notified.  I'll be checking out the forums, and I'll see if something can be done, other than moving the window down.
[12:32] <CAsurfer> Pennypacker, the last part of your second to last post was cut off
[12:32] <livingdaylight> has anyone here actually used sbackup?
[12:33] <facefaceface> apt-cache search libgif ?
[12:33] <Pennypacker> Casurfer, is there a way to enter a private conversation?  It's difficult to chat with a single person with so many people in the room.
[12:33] <Jack_Sparrow> howy424: if you dont have anything special in your Ub partition I would reinstall. I know that isnt a good answer, but it is the easiest for me... :)
[12:33] <riddlebox> if I create a deb file with checkinstall, then install that file on another machine will it know all the dependencies?
[12:33] <facefaceface> gif.c:54: error: GIF_ERROR undeclared (first use in this function)
[12:34] <penguin42> facefaceface: Well if apt-cache search can't find it then it doesn't have it - but perhaps it is called something different
[12:34] <CAsurfer> not that I know of, but we can both enter xgl-ubuntu, which has almost no posters
[12:34] <Pennypacker> riddlebox, as far as I know, checkinstall's only purpose is to know what has been installed, and not any info on dependencies.
[12:34] <facefaceface> Penguin, yeah.. that is the problem for a noob
[12:34] <howy424> Jack_Sparrow: Ouch! So does this mean I should just stay away from wine altogether, cause it's going to keep doing this?
[12:34] <dagrump_> pennypacker: is it something in the compiz settings? sorry still reading, i dont have this issue
[12:34] <Pennypacker> Casurfer, I am new to IRC, and I'll probably find entering a new room difficult...but let's try that...how would I do that?
[12:34] <livingdaylight> Jack_Sparrow: can you tell me more about google? otherwise can you help me with sbackup?
[12:35] <askyle> livingdaylight: checking sth...
[12:35] <riddlebox> Pennypacker,  is there a way create a deb so that it you can have it get all dependencies?
[12:35] <intelligi> I need to FTP to my Xbox. Is there an FTP program that comes with Ubuntu?
[12:35] <penguin42> facefaceface: There seems to be something called giflib3g
[12:35] <intelligi> Or do I need to install it?
[12:35] <penguin42> intelligi: type 'ftp'
[12:35] <v_for_vendeta> opa
[12:35] <Pennypacker> dagrumpt, I am sorry but what is your question about?  I am answering several people at the same time
[12:35] <CAsurfer> type "[backslash] join xgl-ubuntu"
[12:35] <Jack_Sparrow> livingdaylight: where did you get sbackup, which repos did you use?
[12:35] <v_for_vendeta> tem alguem ai??
[12:35] <askyle> livingdaylight: google is a search engine -- it lets you search for things on the world wide web
[12:35] <facefaceface> penguin42, which repo?
[12:35] <Pennypacker> riddlebox, I am sorry, but you're not looking for checkinstall to serve your purpose
[12:35] <Jack_Sparrow> lhow, wine works fine most of the time..
[12:35] <livingdaylight> askyle: hahaha
[12:35] <askyle> livingdaylight: open your web browser and point it to http://www.google.com
[12:35] <penguin42> facefaceface: Seems to be in universe
[12:36] <livingdaylight> Jack_Sparrow: repos? look i just went into synaptic and installed it
[12:36] <intelligi> I need an FTP program.
[12:36] <penguin42> facefaceface: Ah, actually also libungif
[12:36] <facefaceface> Couldn't find package giflib3g
[12:36] <Pennypacker> \join xgl-ubuntu
[12:36] <askyle> lightstar: u asked ; )
[12:36] <intelligi> Does Ubuntu come with one?
[12:36] <intelligi> O need
[12:36] <intelligi> I need help!
[12:36] <askyle> lightstar: (sorry, tab typo)
[12:36] <facefaceface> penguin42, yup, I need libungif too...
[12:36] <riddlebox> Pennypacker, I understand that, I dont need to use checkinstall I will create the package another way, I just dont know of any howtos or anything to tell me how
[12:36] <snoops> how does ubuntu handle dualcore cpu's?
[12:36] <penguin42> facefaceface: OK, try libungif4g
[12:36] <dagrump_> pennypacker i thought it might compiz settings as mine doesnt do that
[12:36] <penguin42> snoops: Just like 2 cpus
[12:36] <askyle> livingdaylight: YOU asked ; )
[12:36] <livingdaylight> isn't that something: evryone wants to help me with google. I want to know if anyone has used sbackup in ubuntu
[12:37] <snoops> penguin42 do I need to enable anything?
[12:37] <facefaceface> penguin42 = penguin42 ++
[12:37] <penguin42> snoops: Shouldn't
[12:37] <livingdaylight> askyle: i also asked about sbackup  8-)
[12:37] <pppoe_dude> intelligi, ftp
[12:37] <snoops> penguin42 can I assign applications to each cpu?
[12:37] <penguin42> snoops: I think dapper does SMP by default (someone confirm?) - older ones needed you to install
[12:37] <Pennypacker> riddlebox and dagrump, I am very sorry, but this IRC room is way too confusing for me to answer any questions.  Text is moving much too fast, and if there was a way to do private conversations, I would have done it.  If you need any help, my Ubuntu username is H.E. Pennypacker.
[12:37] <Pennypacker> Casurfer, are you sure it is backslash?
[12:37] <livingdaylight> who cares what repos
[12:37] <pppoe_dude> intelligi, or sudo apt-get gftp
[12:37] <CAsurfer> Pennypacker, try forward slash
[12:37] <penguin42> snoops: In principal you can, I'm not aware of a command line program to do it - just let the OS balance things
[12:38] <CAsurfer> Pennypacker, I'm new to IRC also :)
[12:38] <askyle> livingdaylight: less /usr/share/doc/sbackup/README
[12:38] <tailzer> can anyone help with mplayer plug problem in firefox?
[12:38] <snoops> okay penguin42 how can I see the usage for each cpu?
[12:38] <Jack_Sparrow> livingdaylight: 11 open bugs out of 13 bugs reported for Sbackup
[12:39] <penguin42> snoops: run top and then hit '1' to show each CPU seperately
[12:39] <Jack_Sparrow> livingdaylight: you should
[12:39] <askyle> livingdaylight: (found it after: sudo dbupdate; locate sbackup)
[12:39] <facefaceface> darn... seems I  still need  libgif (in one flavour or another) wot is licenced I beleive
[12:39] <howy424> OK, well I'm off to re-install UB, then I'll research wine a LOT more before installing it again, bye
[12:39] <penguin42> facefaceface: Why?
[12:39] <Jack_Sparrow> goog luck howy424
[12:39] <facefaceface> penguin42, cos I stll get compile errors
[12:39] <askyle> gl howy424
[12:40] <facefaceface> gif.c:39: error: GifFileType undeclared (first use in this function)
[12:40] <howy424> Jack_Sparrow: the install is the easy bit
[12:40] <Jack_Sparrow> agreed
[12:40] <howy424> thanks all, cya
[12:40] <Jack_Sparrow> One sec
[12:40] <howy424> yeah?
[12:40] <Sanne> howy424, wine shouldn't destroy an system. If it does, it would be a very grave bug.
[12:40] <facefaceface> gif.c:14:21: error: gif_lib.h: No such file or directory
[12:40] <penguin42> facefaceface: That is in libungif4-dev
[12:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Ithow It works best to delete the old swap and ext3 partitions
[12:40] <livingdaylight> askyle: so, why doesn't it launch from terminal
[12:41] <facefaceface> penguin42, oops... sorry dude
[12:41] <Sanne> howy424, so if it happens again (of course I hope it does not!), please tell the devs about it.
[12:41] <Jack_Sparrow> You do it during the install or using something like PArtition magic in XP
[12:41] <undesktop> where's packages.debian.org for Ubuntu?
[12:41] <howy424> Sanne: ok, will do
[12:41] <Jack_Sparrow> cya
[12:41] <Fata1> i cannot understand why a web page would load slower in ubuntu than in windows
[12:41] <Sanne> undesktop, packages.ubuntu.com
[12:41] <Fata1> myspace is absolutely a snail
[12:41] <Sanne> howy424, thanks, and good luck :)
[12:41] <howy424> cheers
[12:41] <askyle> livingdaylight: yes it does (i just ran srestore.py from a terminal)
[12:42] <undesktop> Sanne: ew, this is simple enough that I could have figured it out myself...
[12:42] <uep> myspace doesn't work for me when i try to login, but i think it's because i don't have flash installed or something
[12:42] <Sanne> undesktop, no problem ;)
[12:42] <askyle> livingdaylight: simple-restore-gnome for a gui
[12:42] <Fata1> i installed flash, but it still crawls
[12:43] <livingdaylight> i thought sbackup was a gui frontend application to backup stuff; where is it?
[12:43] <facefaceface> penguin42, sucess :)
[12:43] <penguin42> cool
[12:43] <facefaceface> I can now spy on my home network :D (driftnet rocks)
[12:43] <Jack_Sparrow> livingdaylight:  During the install it tells you where it gets installed...
[12:43] <Fata1> what irc client do you people use?
[12:43] <lanny> hi, is this the right place to ask about synchronizing my sep900 with kontact or other kde programs (or just backuping it with multisync)?
[12:43] <Seveas> Fata1, xcha
[12:43] <Seveas> t
[12:44] <livingdaylight> Jack_Sparrow: synaptic didn't tel me wher e it is
[12:44] <snoops> thanks penguin42..
[12:44] <askyle> livingdaylight: try running simple-backup-gnome from the terminal
[12:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Fata1: Konversation
[12:44] <livingdaylight> Jack_Sparrow: usually things are in Applications somewere
[12:44] <snoops> on the ironicness.. system monitor was using more cpu than any other application
[12:44] <penguin42> snoops: Hehe well yes - make your CPUs work for their money
[12:45] <askyle> livingdaylight: I wouldn't expect that much from a package that won't even install a manpage =P
[12:45] <facefaceface> darn... except driftnet aint working... oh well
[12:45] <facefaceface> be seeing you
[12:45] <askyle> tc facefaceface
[12:45] <snoops> it's kind of strange though.. this 4400+ x2 seemed to work a lot better in ubuntu amd64.. but the damn apps didn't :(
[12:45] <livingdaylight> askyle: i can't get this to run... :'(
[12:46] <rocha> gh
[12:46] <askyle> any error messages?
[12:46] <Jack_Sparrow> livingdaylight:  you dont know which reps you used... You say it didnt tell you where it installed itself... 99% of the bugs reported for that program are not fixed... etc
[12:46] <niki> i am experiencing a lot of static when playing beats with hydrogen through the jack servers...any suggestions to remedy this?
[12:46] <livingdaylight> Jack_Sparrow: so, are you saying it is a broken application i should just forget about?
[12:47] <askyle> Jack_Sparrow: what would be a good alternative?
[12:47] <Jack_Sparrow> livingdaylight:  just telling you you used non-supported repos, a program that seems to have bugs...
[12:47] <livingdaylight> Jack_Sparrow: people made alot of noise about backing up being made simple in Dapper with this new application
[12:47] <skavenge> anyway you should be able to 'dpkg -L sbackup' and find out where and what was installed
[12:48] <Jack_Sparrow> livingdaylight:  WHo said... Not one person in 700 + here heard about it.
[12:48] <IcemanNumbe1> question: anyone know why i cannot access a local NTFS partition.
[12:48] <livingdaylight> Jack_Sparrow: i don't want to have that arguement
[12:48] <Jack_Sparrow> IcemanNumbe1:  Use the script Disk Mounter...
[12:48] <GIBson3> ok
[12:48] <Sanne> niki, did you set up jack and hydrogen for realtime priority?
[12:48] <IcemanNumbe1> ok..will try
[12:48] <GIBson3> xchat-gnome is crap
[12:49] <Jack_Sparrow> livingdaylight:  then explain your statement.. Who said that
[12:49] <enyc> snthdiueoa!
[12:49] <niki> Sanne, yeah, i followed the directions from the ubuntu studio wiki
[12:49] <Fata1> hehe brb when i'm done switching
[12:49] <undesktop> do Ubuntu kernels include suspend2?
[12:49] <enyc> undesktop: ?whatis suspond2?
[12:49] <enyc> undesktop: ?whatis suspend2?
[12:49] <undesktop> enyc: suspend2.net
[12:49] <enyc> ??
[12:49] <Jack_Sparrow> IcemanNumbe1:  remember to restart after you run it.. I know what it says.. but restart it..
[12:50] <undesktop> http://suspend2.net/
[12:50] <enyc> aah
[12:50] <eternaljoy> when I type sudo apt-get update , it says: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem!   Any advice to fix this?
[12:50] <undesktop> to suspend Linux to disk
[12:50] <Jack_Sparrow> IcemanNumbe1: http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/
[12:50] <arapehl> I'm a brand spankin' new Windows --> Ubuntu convert and I'd REALLY love to check out apple.com's movie trailers like I used to but I'm having trouble finding a decent Quicktime plugin for Firefox... any help?
[12:50] <Sanne> niki, oh, then the last option I would have for you is to ask on the forums in the ubuntustudio subforum, or ask in #ubuntu-studio here on freenode.
[12:50] <undesktop> eternaljoy: so why not run that command?
[12:50] <penguin42> undesktop: Well I have a .config file - if you can tell me what to look for
[12:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !restricted
[12:51] <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
[12:51] <eternaljoy> undesktop: when I do, it only says >
[12:51] <IcemanNumbe1> thankx jack
[12:51] <niki> Sanne, i'm thinking maybe the sample rate they suggest is a little low....i will check the forums, thanks for the pointer :D
[12:51] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[12:51] <askyle> arapehl: tried the mplayer plugin?
[12:51] <undesktop> penguin42: grep SUSPEND2 .config
[12:51] <enyc> undesktop: erm  no idea ;-) -- erm  if thep patch then provides config options to enable suspend2 compilation options... go read the /boot/config-  file for kernel in whatever ubuntu version you are interested in
[12:52] <Sanne> niki, good luck. Yeah, it might be some jack settings problem, but I'm sure the ubuntustudio people will be able to give some suggestions.
[12:52] <Pennypacker> arapehl, you should install either EasyUbuntu or Automatix.  Either one should take care of the issue for you
[12:52] <penguin42> undesktop: No, doesn't look like it - plenty of SUSPEND, no SUSPEND2's
[12:52] <eternaljoy> can someone help me fix sudo apt-get update? every time I run the command it says: 'dpkg --configure -a , but when I run this, nothing happens, it only stops at a prompt >
[12:52] <undesktop> penguin42: ok, thank you, so suspend2 isn't compiled into the Ubuntu kernels normally
[12:52] <enyc> undesktop: / penguin42:  however the patch might nottt inwolve new config options mentioning  SUSPEND2
[12:52] <eternaljoy> can someone help me fix sudo apt-get update? every time I run the command it says: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[12:52] <eternaljoy>  but when I run this, nothing happens, it only stops at a prompt >
[12:52] <undesktop> too bad, since suspend2 is IMHO "better" than swsusp
[12:53] <arapehl> askyle: yeah, it just says "no image" on a lot of the videos :-/
[12:53] <undesktop> enyc: it does
[12:53] <enyc> eternaljoy: you need to use sude ...
[12:53] <arapehl> Pennypacker: heh, which one? ;)
[12:53] <enyc> eternaljoy: sudo even
[12:53] <eternaljoy> enyc: ok let me try
[12:53] <enyc> eternaljoy: 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'
[12:53] <undesktop> eternaljoy:  sudo dpkg --configure -a
[12:53] <Jack_Sparrow> eternaljoy:  You can always use synaptic until you fix it..
[12:53] <Sanne> !tell arapehl about restricted
[12:53] <Stormx2> Nice nice.
[12:53] <compengi> how do i install .bin file?
[12:54] <akcom> I was attempting to install Ubuntu after having already installed windows so I could dual boot.  I think when I installed Ubuntu I accidentally put GRUB on the MBR because it refuses to work.  Is there anyway to correct this?
[12:54] <intelligi> I am trying to delete a file on my Xbox via FTP from gFTP. It is asking me if I want to delete "these 3 files and 1 directory" when I only have a single file selected. What gives?
[12:54] <akcom> When I attempt to boot, GRUB dies at step 1.5
[12:54] <enyc> compengi: depends what you mean ;-)
[12:54] <Stormx2> compengi: Usually you just run it
[12:54] <arapehl> thanks Sanne
[12:54] <eternaljoy> enyc: thanks, you are a legend! that worked and its fixed :)
[12:54] <compengi> i can't run it it says error can't run it
[12:54] <eternaljoy> undesktop: why didnt you tell me that earlier? LOL
[12:54] <Jack_Sparrow> akcom: you can boot to a floppy or 98cd and fdisk /mbr to get XP back then reinstall..
[12:54] <enyc> eternaljoy: ?how did you come to conclusion 'enyc' == legend ?
[12:55] <Fatal`> ahhhhhhhhhh, that's better :)
[12:55] <Fatal`> was having withdrawals
[12:55] <Fatal`> :o
[12:55] <GIBson3> mmmm resolution
[12:55] <akcom> Jack_Sparrow: are you sure I have to reinstall ubuntu?
[12:55] <eternaljoy> enyc: guessing :)
[12:55] <undesktop> eternaljoy: sorry, I thought it would be obvious
[12:55] <Jack_Sparrow> No
[12:55] <akcom> haha, fair enough
[12:55] <eternaljoy> undesktop: never assume as others dont think like you!  try empathy
[12:55] <Jack_Sparrow> akcom:  but if that was a good install you would not have any problems
[12:55] <Fatal`> i must figure out what is making windows more stable than ubuntu
[12:55] <tonyyarusso> akcom: You can use a Live CD to try installing grub to the MBR again in case there was an error in that process.
[12:55] <Fatal`> lol
[12:55] <undesktop> eternaljoy: sorry, I do nasty UNIX things all day
[12:55] <Sanne> arapehl, the links will teach you how to set it up manually. I recommend trying that before you rely on automatic scripts that may mess up your system.
[12:55] <Stormx2> akcom: What have you done?
[12:55] <|cougem|> hey grub faces
[12:55] <eternaljoy> undesktop: assumptions are the cause of miscommunication
[12:55] <akcom> I'm running from the live cd right now
[12:56] <eternaljoy> undesktop: not everyone does! so dont assume others know what you know!  its called trye empathy, try it ;)
[12:56] <compengi> Stormx2, Couldn't display "/home/compengi/Download/RealPlayer10GOLD.bin".
[12:56] <undesktop> eternaljoy: I'm not able anymore to communicate with normal people because I'm UNIX brain damaged :-)
[12:56] <enyc> compengi:  bin file - - binary file -- presumably an executable ?
[12:56] <akcom> Stormx2: I believe I installed GRUB to the MBR
[12:56] <Stormx2> akcom: Why would you reinstall? What have you done haha?
[12:56] <akcom> I'm not reinstalling...
[12:56] <arapehl> Sanne: gotcha... manually huh... *grumble*... reading... I think I know how to do that. ;-)
[12:56] <eternaljoy> undesktop: you a developer?
[12:56] <enyc> compengi: erm... 2 things...
[12:56] <Stormx2> akcom: Ah! I think I had this problem and I ended up reinstalling
[12:56] <eternaljoy> undesktop: if you are not a linux developer, than you are NOT UNIX brain damaged
[12:56] <compengi> ?
[12:56] <eternaljoy> undesktop: :)
[12:56] <enyc> compengi: realplayer is includud in multiverse semewhere iirc as a package
[12:56] <akcom> I doubt that's necessary.
[12:56] <undesktop> eternaljoy: not really, but yes, I do programming...
[12:56] <Stormx2> akcom: I managed to wipe the mbr... had to run off a live cd.
[12:56] <Sanne> arapehl, it's better this way, really. If you get stuck in the process, just come back and ask here :)
[12:56] <Jack_Sparrow> akcom:  have you gotten the HD installed version to run?
[12:56] <undesktop> eternaljoy: however, no useful things
[12:57] <compengi> so what should i install
[12:57] <enyc> compengi: no need to run anether .bin _anyway_
[12:57] <penguin42>  Is there a non-hardware-specific kernel testing set that is used before release - e.g. a set of filesystem exercises and network exercises to really hammer a kernel?
[12:57] <eternaljoy> undesktop: what programming lang?
[12:57] <akcom> Jack_Sparrow: no, that would require a functioning installation of GRUB
[12:57] <Jack_Sparrow> akcom:  thats my point...
[12:57] <penguin42> (In particular do the ubuntu kernel maintainers run one prior to release?)
[12:57] <undesktop> eternaljoy: ooh, mostly C and all descendants
[12:57] <eternaljoy> undesktop: im also a programmer! I program in c++ and my only program says "hello World!" :)
[12:57] <compengi> enyc, so what should i do?
[12:57] <akcom> how would I get the HD installed version to run if I can't even get GRUB working?
[12:57] <akcom> undesktop: ever dabbled in D (by digitalmars)?
[12:57] <Stormx2> I do PHP/JS/Some BASH
[12:57] <akcom> It's a superb language
[12:58] <eternaljoy> undesktop: where can I see and download some of your work?
[12:58] <Jack_Sparrow> akcom:  You dont
[12:58] <enyc> compengi: read ubuntu wiki on installing realplayer if you want it...
[12:58] <undesktop> akcom: yes, I find it quite nice
[12:58] <arapehl> Sanne: I'm looking at the "restricted formats" page and it's got a section called "how to make things work in a hurry" and it lists a bunch of packages to install... Is that what you mean by "manually" .. I mean synaptic isn't all that manual :)
[12:58] <akcom> I can't see myself going back to C++ after D
[12:58] <eternaljoy> undesktop: where can I see and download some of your work and programs?
[12:58] <penguin42> akcom: How is your disc partitioned, how big is it and how old is your PC ?
[12:58] <undesktop> akcom: I hope one day no one will ever use C++
[12:58] <Stormx2> akcom: Have you tried following the wiki?
[12:58] <compengi> enyc, can you give me the link :P
[12:58] <undesktop> akcom: but, maybe, D :-)
[12:58] <akcom> penguin42: I don't see how that's relevant
[12:58] <Stormx2> Why is C++ bad?
[12:58] <eternaljoy> undesktop: you said you are a programmer, yet we cant download any of your programs? LOL
[12:58] <akcom> C++ just seems like a patch work of half baked ideas
[12:58] <intelligi> How do I use gFTP to move files from one directory to another on the same system?
[12:59] <undesktop> Stormx2: because it's unecessarly complicated and it's a language from the past (trying to be more modern)
[12:59] <penguin42> akcom: If the partition grub installs its stage 1.5/2 on is somewhere the BIOS can't find then things break wonderfully
[12:59] <intelligi> I like C++.
[12:59] <Sanne> arapehl, yep, that meant by manual compared to automatic scripts like automatix (best avoided) or easyubuntu.
[12:59] <mend> hello. Is here anyone who has installed mysql-administrator or query browser from source?
[12:59] <Stormx2> undesktop: I see
[12:59] <madewokherd`> ooh, off-topic c++ bashing
[12:59] <enyc> compengi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RealplayerInstallationMethods
[12:59] <undesktop> I like C more than C++
[12:59] <intelligi> I need help!
[12:59] <thomaswebb> hi, when i try to compile a program i get the following error: No package 'gamin' found, yet the  gamin package is installed, any types on how to fix this?
[12:59] <Stormx2> intelligi, what with, sonny?
[12:59] <intelligi> How do I move files from one directory to another with gFTP?
[12:59] <akcom> penguin42: the box is no older than 3 years, the hd is 200gb, split evenly into 98 for windows and 98 for xfs + swap
[12:59] <Stormx2> thomaswebb: You may need gamin-dev
[12:59] <eternaljoy> undesktop: you claim to be a programmer, yet not one of your programs is avaible! :P hence, I conclude you are only a backroom programmer, and none of your programs are good enough for the public
[12:59] <kbrooks> Sanne: Give the choice
[12:59] <undesktop> thomaswebb: maybe try the -dev package
[01:00] <thomaswebb> cheers storm, will just give it a try :)
[01:00] <arapehl> Sanne: ah! see, now things are starting to make sense... k.. I'll be back in a bit with news :)  BTW, do you ever run in to oskude on this channel? He helped me install Ubuntu and I wanted to thank him but I haven't seen him around.
[01:00] <Sanne> kbrooks, what do you mean?
[01:00] <kbrooks> Sanne: "best avoided" isn't giving the choice
[01:00] <eternaljoy> undesktop: dont claim to be a programmer if you are not a true progammer! you look silly when caught out
[01:00] <akcom> ok. so once I get my windows install fixed by restoring the MBR, how do I get grub installed properly?
[01:00] <undesktop> eternaljoy: oh well... I just focus on "research" than writing useful programs
[01:00] <Stormx2> thomaswebb: Rule of thumb that when you're compiling and it asks for a package, you really want the -dev package ;-)
[01:00] <intelligi> I have programmed stuff, dunno if that makes me a programmer or not.
[01:00] <kbrooks> Sanne: "best avoided" is polarisation
[01:00] <undesktop> eternaljoy: like writing OS kernels
[01:00] <eternaljoy> undesktop: why didnt u say that?
[01:00] <penguin42> akcom: Hmm OK, not too unreasonable - you using xfs as your root file system?
[01:00] <intelligi> Probably a really bad one.
[01:00] <GIBson3> ROFL
[01:00] <akcom> penguin42: yes, I will be once I fix my install
[01:00] <Stormx2> intelligi: Ack I hate gftp. You mean remote files? let me think
[01:00] <eternaljoy> undesktop: what OS kernel have you written and where is it avialable?
[01:00] <GIBson3> I love the x-chat guys
[01:00] <thomaswebb> ah ok, will remember that! i am fairly new to this linux lark
[01:01] <Sanne> arapehl, didn't see him, and good luck with multimedia. Come back if you get problems :)
[01:01] <GIBson3> configure complete, now type 'make' and pray.
[01:01] <dtsuei> hi, if i have winxp install on ubuntu, do i need to install windows patch?
[01:01] <Stormx2> GIBson3: Tis good eh?
[01:01] <undesktop> eternaljoy: it's nowhere available because it's not useful
[01:01] <penguin42> akcom: That's a little unusual - its the only unusual thing I can see; make a /boot partition, and make that something more common, ext3 say
[01:01] <arapehl> Sanne: will do... thanks in advance.
[01:01] <Jack_Sparrow> akcom:  If you started reinstall when we started this conversation you would be done
[01:01] <undesktop> eternaljoy: like any home brew kernel
[01:01] <penguin42> akcom: Bonus points if you put the /boot nearer the start of the disc
[01:01] <akcom> Jack_Sparrow: well I don't find throwing in the towel and just giving up to be a gratifying or educational experience
[01:01] <GIBson3> Stormx2: I've loved XChat forever, xchat-gnome in the repos though is crap
[01:02] <undesktop> btw. I used to write useful programs when I used Windows and Delphi... but under UNIX, writing GUI programs is too hard
[01:02] <akcom> why would xfs cause it to fail?
[01:02] <undesktop> at least compared to Delphi...
[01:02] <akcom> haha
[01:02] <akcom> anything is going to be hard compared to delphi.
[01:02] <Jack_Sparrow> akcom: were you online or running programs during the install?
[01:02] <akcom> for gui dev
[01:02] <akcom> Jack_Sparrow: no
[01:02] <Stormx2> GIBson3: Why?
[01:02] <Sanne> kbrooks, it's my opinion, and I wanted to state that, sorry to have offended you, I couldn't elaborate in a hurry like this. Of course cjoice is important. But somebody recommended the scripts without warning, so I wanted to give one out quick.
[01:02] <penguin42> akcom: In principal I don't think it should - but I've had bad look with xfs and it is the only unusual thing I can see in your install
[01:02] <Seveas> undesktop, learn glade and pygtk - it's dead easy...
[01:02] <akcom> Unfortunately I've had some previous bad luck with xfs as well
[01:02] <akcom> oh well, c'est la vie.
[01:03] <Stormx2> Oh and Seveas, the link in the topic, IRC info, returns a 404
[01:03] <undesktop> akcom: note that Delphi basically isn't more or less advanced than, say, C++
[01:03] <Seveas> Stormx2, thanks
[01:03] <Stormx2> Seveas: Wait no
[01:03] <askyle> i was halfway downloading the intermet and it froze. should i reboot? (jk)
[01:03] <Stormx2> Seveas: Ack sorry. Please ignore me.
[01:03] <intelligi> Will someone please help me with gFTP?
[01:03] <undesktop> Seveas: oh well, pygtk would be worth a try
[01:03] <Seveas> Stormx2, ghe 
[01:03] <akcom> undesktop: I'm going to have to disagree on a few points (array <-> pointer conversions, etc) but it's ot bad for RAD
[01:03] <Stormx2> Seveas: Actually it still does haha!
[01:03] <akcom> it's not*
[01:04] <askyle> intelligi: what's your question?
[01:04] <axs221> hi, my mouse cursor disappears when pointing at certain things, such as jpegs in Firefox or the Firefox Customize Toolbar, it happens in other places as well, not just firefox. Any suggestions on fixing this? haven't found any help yet. i'm using the default cursor on Gnome, the other cursors do no different
[01:04] <cyphase> can someone who knows how package Nexuiz for Ubuntu?
[01:04] <intelligi> How do I move files on the remote machine from one directory to another?
[01:04] <undesktop> akcom: conceptually, they're quite the same: i.e. static typed language, manual memory managment, compiled, etc.
[01:04] <CrazyDoode> axs221: then don't point at those things
[01:04] <penguin42> axs221: It sounds possible that its a video driver bug; look for 'software cursor' flags for your x config
[01:04] <axs221> CrazyDoode: good idea
[01:04] <akcom> undesktop: that descriptions covers a pretty wide array of languages
[01:05] <undesktop> akcom: not really, but it covers mostly used languages today I guess
[01:05] <undesktop> akcom: anyway, it turns out that C or C++ are quite bad for GUI development
[01:05] <askyle> i'm not sure if FTP can do that, 1 sec...
[01:05] <akcom> undesktop: and why is that?
[01:06] <intelligi> I've done it before.
[01:06] <yfox> i need to get package injection working with aireplay, i have an atheros based card and im using the madwifi version that came with ubuntu 6.06
[01:06] <akcom> undesktop: I tihnk you could find quite a few people to argue against that opinion
[01:06] <akcom> myself included
[01:06] <penguin42> undesktop: A lot of people get hung up on what is good or bad for things; fact is you can make a pigs ear of things in any language
[01:06] <Minsc> GIBson3: I'm back :|
[01:06] <akcom> bbiab
[01:06] <undesktop> akcom: i.e. C++ doesn't allow delegates (Callbacks on object members)
[01:06] <yfox> any one willing to help me
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> askyle: Try NOT downloading the entire internet.. :) sorry getting punchy with questions like what is google?
[01:07] <undesktop> akcom: but delegates are usually used for event handling
[01:07] <GIBson3> Minsc: as am I and I have resolution :D
[01:07] <undesktop> akcom: that's why QT uses that precompiler
[01:07] <Minsc> GIBson3: That's awesome! Do tell. ^_^
[01:07] <penguin42> undesktop: You can have pointers to member methods can't you?
[01:07] <roostishaw> can anyone help me setup a php page on my apache server? it sends me a phtml file whenever i visit...
[01:08] <GIBson3> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg works wonders when your monitor changes :)
[01:08] <roostishaw> .join #php
[01:08] <roostishaw> oops
[01:08] <undesktop> penguin42: yes, but they're strictly bound to the class, so they're not generic enough
[01:08] <undesktop> penguin42: actually, they're quite useless
[01:08] <Minsc> GIBson3: Heh. Speaking of which, I should really up the resolution here.
[01:08] <penguin42> undesktop: ah
[01:08] <askyle> Jack_Sparrow: So, should i download it in chunks then?
[01:09] <GIBson3> Minsc: I have to run for a bit, Finalizing wedding stuff. If you are around later I'll try and help figure out the sound thing.
[01:09] <Loomy18> When I try to use synaptic i get this error "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. " anyone know how to fix this?
[01:09] <penguin42> undesktop: I'm sure it is cureable with enough templates and ifdefs and masking tape
[01:09] <Jack_Sparrow> askyle: NO just the one chunk you need...
[01:09] <Minsc> GIBson3: I can't guarentee I'll be around later. Can I give you my email?
[01:09] <mcphail> Loomy18: do as it says
[01:09] <Loomy18> i dont get what it says to do
[01:09] <Loomy18> this is my first time using ubuntu
[01:09] <askyle> Loomy18: just like the messahe says: dpkg --configure -a
[01:10] <axs221> penguin42: in xorg.conf? i searched for "cursor", there two entries for cursor are one for a "cursor" Input Device and one under "Server Layout" for that device
[01:10] <askyle> Loomy18: open a terminal, then run that command
[01:10] <undesktop> penguin42: in Delphi you just need to add a "of object" in the callback type declaration to get this
[01:10] <mcphail> Loomy18: open a terminal and type "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[01:10] <Loomy18> oh alright thanks
[01:10] <undesktop> penguin42: and don't call me if you got compiler errors in that template area...
[01:10] <penguin42> axs221: It isn't an option in there by default
[01:10] <Loomy18> brian@Brians:~$ dpkg --configure -a
[01:10] <Loomy18> dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
[01:10] <Loomy18> brian@Brians:~$
[01:10] <penguin42> undesktop: Hehe yes
[01:10] <askyle> Jack_Sparrow: but if i do that won't the internet be broken and viruses will spawn?
[01:11] <Jack_Sparrow> askyle:  But only a problem for Windows users :)
[01:11] <hektik> anyone ever try using plantronics usb headset?
[01:11] <askyle> Loomy18: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[01:11] <Loomy18> yup
[01:11] <intelligi> Why can no one help me with such a simple problem?
[01:11] <GIBson3> Minsc: sure just pm me with it.
[01:11] <undesktop> btw., anyone has a HP 8200e?
[01:11] <askyle> Jack_Sparrow: oh! that is just beautiful : )
[01:11] <askyle> intelligi: doing some research
[01:11] <penguin42> axs221: Find the 'device' section and add the line      Option "SWCursor" "true"
[01:11] <penguin42> axs221: Then restart X
[01:12] <axs221> penguin42: thanks, i'll give that a shot
[01:12] <Rerre211> Hi! I've got a strange problem. I have made a Raid6 server with Ubuntu and connected this server to my Windows XP machine via network cards (no switches etc in between). For some reason I can copy files from Windows to Ubuntu ok, but not vice versa. If I do it, Windows loses the network and I have to boot up Ubuntu. Any clue, what happening here? My network card in my Ubuntu-machine is D-Link DUB-E100 USB 2.0, connected via Belkin's USB/firewir
[01:12] <tonyyarusso> intelligi: I would assume just ssh into it and run a mv command.
[01:12] <Loomy18> hey i have another question are my video card drivers installed by default or do i have to do something to get them to work?
[01:12] <undesktop> (HP 8200e is an external CDROM burner)
[01:12] <intelligi> It is an Xbox.
[01:13] <intelligi> Not another Linux computer.
[01:13] <penguin42> Rerre211: How are you copying to and from your ubuntu box? When it stops how badly does it stop? Can you sitll ping the ubuntu box?
[01:13] <askyle> Loomy18: *most* video cards *should* work out of the box... in theory ; )
[01:13] <tonyyarusso> Loomy18: There are some drivers installed, but they likely aren't the ones from the manufacturer (as those are usually proprietary, unless you have some funky small name card.)
[01:13] <Loomy18> i have a 7800 gtx
[01:13] <thomaswebb> storm2, i have a load of other other different pacakges needed, but they say they rely on libcairo2, but when i try to install libcairo2-dev i get this error: Depends: libcairo2 (=1.2.0-0ubuntu1) but 1.1.10-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
[01:13] <undesktop> another bitchy piece of hardware: ATI Mach64
[01:14] <intelligi> Why can't gFTP do this simple thing?
[01:14] <intelligi> I know it can.
[01:14] <undesktop> does Ubuntu enable 3D acceleration for ATI Mach64 by default now?
[01:14] <penguin42> undesktop: a mach64 should work surely? They are as old as the hills?
[01:14] <intelligi> You can move files into folders on the same window.
[01:14] <Rerre211> penguin42: Just via explorer in Windows. It stops almost immediately, it tries for a while to copy from Ubuntu to Windows, but then it freezes. I haven't tried to ping yet
[01:14] <intelligi> You just can't move them up.
[01:14] <undesktop> penguin42: DRI is still a problem it seems
[01:14] <hektik> is there a way to properly bind the volume+, volume-, and mute buttons on my usb headset to the pcm control on alsa conifg?
[01:14] <undesktop> penguin42: because the Mach64 DRI driver has some security hole...
[01:14] <penguin42> undesktop: Nod, my radeon 7200 has it enabled, but is about as stable as a jelly
[01:14] <Loomy18> would a 7800 gtx be installed by default, also is there a way to test if the drivers are working?
[01:15] <tonyyarusso> intelligi: Try right-click, move if it exists.
[01:15] <undesktop> penguin42: jelly? doesn't sound too good
[01:15] <penguin42> undesktop: 3D is an embarrassing mess, even for the FOSS drivers
[01:15] <penguin42> undesktop: jelly=UK for jello
[01:15] <intelligi> I am just doing it the really hard and slow way at the moment...downloading them to this machine only to reupload them to another directory...
[01:15] <GIBson3> laters all
[01:15] <Loomy18> would a 7800 gtx be installed by default, also is there a way to test if the drivers are working?
[01:15] <intelligi> Will take about 15 minutes to do something that should take 15 seconds...
[01:16] <penguin42> Loomy18: Please don't repeat your question
[01:16] <Loomy18> sorry
[01:16] <Sanne> Loomy18, is this an Nvidia card?
[01:16] <mcphail> Loomy18: very basic drivers will be installed by default
[01:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Loomy18: what resolutions are available to you
[01:16] <penguin42> Rerre211: Try a ping, you need to figure out if the whole machine has got ill, or just the bits to do with file serving
[01:16] <askyle> ATI cards have __awful__ support undel linux : /
[01:16] <undesktop> s/wonder/wonders
[01:16] <^thehatsrule^> afaik, the nv driver will be installed, not the nvidia proprietary tho
[01:16] <Loomy18> it is an xfx card
[01:17] <intelligi> They offer free binary drivers, so what? My Ubuntu is running their stuff at the moment.
[01:17] <intelligi> I have the old TNT2 card.
[01:17] <penguin42> undesktop: I suspect the problem is that they can't because they might expose bits of IP that isn't theres, so they can't discuss it
[01:17] <undesktop> intelligi: jelly
[01:17] <intelligi> What?
[01:17] <undesktop> intelligi: I hear their drivers are not-so-stable
[01:17] <intelligi> Works better than the other one.
[01:17] <penguin42> undesktop: I was talking about the free ones
[01:17] <intelligi> Haven't had any problem.
[01:17] <Sanne> Loomy18, for Nvidia cards, this may help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[01:17] <Rerre211> penguin42: yes, I'll try it, hang on
[01:18] <undesktop> penguin42: but it would only be the hardware API...
[01:18] <Loomy18> 640X768    800X600 and 1024X768 are my only screen resolutions available does this mean my drivers are incorrect?
[01:18] <intelligi> In fact, the when using the other driver, a screen saver crashed my comp. They run right with the nvidia driver.
[01:18] <penguin42> undesktop: But perhaps they are using some tech bought from someone else? Or fear that if they detailed it they would get hit by a patent claim?
[01:18] <arapehl> Sanne: Uhm, the installation went off without a hitch, but there's no firefox plugin in all those packages. :-/
[01:18] <skavenge> anyone with an intel 915 graphics chipset in thier laptops?
[01:19] <undesktop> penguin42: IMHO it's still just a step behind the higher level APIs (DirectX, OpenGL)
[01:19] <Sanne> arapehl, which plugin was it again?
[01:19] <darkprophet> boring == good. stability :)
[01:19] <arapehl> Sanne: Quicktime
[01:19] <penguin42> undesktop: Yeh but a lot lower level
[01:19] <kbrooks> stability is All Important(tm)
[01:19] <arapehl> Sanne: I think it was the mplayer plugin that I had installed previously but it just kept giving me a "no image" message in most of the videos
[01:19] <darkprophet> any idea when the next release is going to be ?
[01:19] <darkprophet> looking forward to it
[01:20] <Pennypacker> skavenge, I have 9815
[01:20] <askyle> darkprophet: then install e17 in it ; )
[01:20] <Pennypacker> skavenge, I have i915
[01:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Loomy18:  you are running higer than vesa so I would think you have the right drivers
[01:20] <Pennypacker> Do you have a question?
[01:20] <Pennypacker> skavenge, do you have a question?
[01:20] <arapehl> Sanne: I think it's because they're multi-part quicktime videos where it says "click here to view video", and once clicked, downloads the video.
[01:20] <kbrooks> darkprophet: october. 6.10. edgy eft. discuss in #ubuntu+1
[01:20] <arapehl> Sanne: I think it just gets stuck on the first screen and says "no image". :-/
[01:20] <darkprophet> kbrooks: thanks
[01:20] <Sanne> arapehl, I also think this should be covered by the mplayer plugin. Somebody else will have to help you here, though, because I don't have mplayer installed. Anybody could help arapehl, please?
[01:21] <skavenge> Pennypacker: are you running the stock drivers or other ones? i noticed a '915resolution' package but didnt know if it'd do any good
[01:21] <arapehl> Sanne: sh*t ... youknow what? I should restart FF huh... ;) (though it was running when I ran the installl I hope that didn't keep it from installing)
[01:21] <Sanne> arapehl, heh, restarting is needed ;)
[01:21] <arapehl> Sanne: checking now...
[01:22] <Rerre211> penguin42: nope, I cannot ping either. I tried restarting samba as well, without any help
[01:22] <undesktop> ok, actually I'm using Debian... how easy is it to change to Ubuntu?
[01:22] <lophyte|s> undesktop: Ubuntu is really easy to use
[01:22] <penguin42> Rerre211: Hang on, you can't ping, but you can restart samba?
[01:23] <jrattner1> QUESTION: Is network manager better with WEP or WPA (As far as functionality)
[01:23] <Mikasuliel> hi, im new to linux and ubuntu in general, i just installed ubuntu last night and for some reason when i try to put a background on the file browser it will not work, also i cannot find this nautilus thing im supposed to use get the icons on the desktop. would anyone be willing to walk me through this?
[01:23] <lophyte|s> undesktop: especially if you're used to Debian... Ubuntu uses the same package manager
[01:23] <penguin42> undesktop: Its just like Debian except the packages are newer but about as stable
[01:23] <Pennypacker> jrattner, I have not tried WPA, but I did try WEP...and it works very well
[01:23] <Pennypacker> JRATTNER, you should first try WEP, before trying WPA
[01:23] <Sanne> undesktop, debian and ubuntu don't aim to be binary compatible, so I wouldn't attempt a dist upgrade from debian to ubuntu (in case you asked for that)
[01:23] <penguin42> undesktop: I don't think there is a netinstall CD
[01:23] <undesktop> Sanne: I had exactly this in mind :-)
[01:24] <IcemanNumber> sorry to bother you again jack, but is there something i need to do to make that script executable?
[01:24] <jrattner1> !network manager
[01:24] <ubotu> networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager
[01:24] <Jack_Sparrow> IcemanNumber:  open terminal type sudo bash diskmounter
[01:24] <hektik> hmm...thats weird
[01:24] <Rerre211> penguin42: yes, so it seems. I am a beginner with Ubuntu, but friend told me to type "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart" and I got too ok-messages for it. It didn't restore the network however
[01:24] <lophyte|s> my wireless *does* just work, hehe
[01:24] <Jack_Sparrow> IcemanNumber:  then restart
[01:24] <undesktop> maybe I could just remove the complete /usr and /var directories and then run the Ubuntu setup over that partition?
[01:25] <hektik> now the volume+ and volume- buttons on my headset are changing the bass volume o_O
[01:25] <Sanne> undesktop, I heard that people changed successfully from sarge to breezy (last ubuntu version), dunno if it works with current ubuntu dapper. If you don't mind a complete wipe if it borks, you could try it (but don't kill me...) ;)
[01:25] <Bassetts> i reaaaaly need to take Bass off of highlight
[01:25] <undesktop> hektik: I call this fun
[01:25] <hektik> lol
[01:25] <askyle> Rerre211: tried sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart   ?
[01:25] <Rerre211> askyle: Nope, I can try that one next
[01:25] <hektik> mute button is uselss tho
[01:25] <undesktop> Sanne: as long as it doesn't turn my home directory in binary garbage...
[01:26] <arapehl> Sanne: no luck :-/... trying gxine-plugin. Says it covers Quicktime. Hopefully it'll work.
[01:26] <axs221> penguin42: Thanks, that flag did the trick
[01:26] <askyle> undesktop: a sane practice (saved my bottom a cpl times) would be to keep /home in a separate partition/disk
[01:27] <penguin42> axs221: Can you file a bug please saying that it was necessary for whatever your card was
[01:27] <Sanne> undesktop, I really don't know... I changed from debian to ubuntu by installing to a new partition (cowardly).
[01:27] <jrattner1> QUESTION: anyone know of a network manager 0.16.3 package( not in repos)
[01:27] <Gullstad> Witch decode do chinese use?
[01:27] <Sanne> arapehl, sorry to hear that. I hope somebody will jump in in case of more problems, but congrats so far for going through the 'manual' install. :)
[01:28] <axs221> penguin42: file it with Ubuntu?
[01:28] <penguin42> Rerre211: Hmm OK, do an 'ifconfig eth0' while it works and then again afterwards
[01:28] <penguin42> axs221: Yes please
[01:28] <axs221> penguin42: will do
[01:28] <thomaswebb> hello everyone, i have traced all my problems back to this one thing: Depends: libfreetype6 (>=2.2.1) but 2.1.10-1ubuntu2.1 is to be installed, but i have no idea how to fix it?
[01:28] <penguin42> Rerre211: I'm guessing that your networking is setup wrong
[01:28] <Rerre211> askyle: nope, it failed to bring up eth0,1,2, ath0 and wlan0
[01:28] <freddyubuntu> plz help me , when I start my ubuntu, it says file systems have error, and I should repair them manualy, and then I continue with CTR+D , then i ubuntu I cant no delete files it says the disk is READONLY, and I can not download email by thunderbird, it says the diks is readonly and it doenst have prvilage to download emails....what to do ?

[01:29] <Amaranth> freddyubuntu: fix the disk
[01:29] <arapehl> Sanne: Heh, I'm "paying my dues" right now. ;) Uhm, the gxine plugin is doing something here... asking me to configure it... it detected that there was quicktime video on the page so it's a start! :) I'll let you know if it works out.
[01:29] <Sanne> thomaswebb, it seems you're trying to install from an unofficial repository? Which package, from where?
[01:29] <penguin42> freddyubuntu: What was the last thing that happened before those errors started happening
[01:29] <freddyubuntu> anarhabag /? how to fix disk?
[01:29] <freddyubuntu> I dont know nothing bad happen...
[01:29] <Amaranth> freddyubuntu: whatever partition it says it's checking do fsck /dev/<partition>
[01:29] <Mikasuliel> QUESTION: I just installed ubuntu last night and for some reason when i try to put a background on the file browser it will not work, also i cannot find this nautilus thing im supposed to use get the icons on the desktop. would anyone be willing to walk me through this?
[01:29] <freddyubuntu> aha
[01:29] <Sanne> arapehl, yeah, I hope it works out, let me know how it goes.
[01:29] <Amaranth> freddyubuntu: like 'fsck /dev/hda1'
[01:30] <freddyubuntu> aha thanx
[01:30] <thomaswebb> that is an upgrade of libcairo2
[01:30] <snoops> penguin42 hey.. just to tell ya the i386 version doesn't have smp in it.. I grabbed the k7 kernel and can see both cpus now :)
[01:30] <freddyubuntu> and my system has become so slow
[01:30] <penguin42> snoops: Ah ok; I'd assumed the instlaler had got round to getting that right by now
[01:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikasuliel:  Places/desktop is Nautilus
[01:30] <jrattner1> QUESTION: anyone know of a network manager 0.16.3 package( not in repos)
[01:30] <Rerre211> penguin42: ok, I'll boot up Ubuntu and try the ifconfig-command
[01:31] <Pennypacker> exit
[01:31] <Pennypacker> exit
[01:31] <Pennypacker> sudo exit
[01:31] <freddyubuntu> I cant run the terminal to run fsck ...
[01:31] <Pennypacker> gksudo exit
[01:31] <Sanne> thomaswebb, from which repository are you trying to install?
[01:31] <freddyubuntu> there is no terminal to enter my command
[01:31] <penguin42> erk is ubuntu really starting X after the 'you need to run fsck' ???
[01:31] <freddyubuntu> it doesnt run the terminal
[01:32] <thomaswebb> not sure, is there a way to tell using synaptic package manager
[01:32] <flosch> !restrictedformat
[01:32] <ubotu> I know nothing about restrictedformat
[01:32] <flosch> !restrictedformats

[01:32] <askyle> undesktop: it's never too late if you have the patience - you can copy everything to another partition, then edit /etc/fstab
[01:32] <Pennypacker> why isn't the exit command working here?
[01:32] <Pennypacker> exit
[01:32] <undesktop> askyle: the problem would be to create a new partition... there's no place for it
[01:32] <askyle> undesktop: ouch : (
[01:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Hi IcemanNumber
[01:33] <IcemanNumber> hi
[01:33] <Sanne> thomaswebb, the repositories are listed in the file /etc/apt/sources.list. You could paste the contents of this file to paste.ubuntu-nl.org, so we could have a look.
[01:33] <Jack_Sparrow> IcemanNumber: Did it work
[01:33] <IcemanNumber> still not working yet
[01:33] <askyle> wb IcemanNumber
[01:33] <arapehl> Sanne: Success! (sort of) It works, I can see the video, but it isn't embedded in the page, it launches the player. No big deal really, I mean, in essence I wanted it to see the videos. I'll fiddle with the configuration though and see if maybe it's just a question of the settings. Hey, thanks a lot for all the help man.
[01:33] <dagrump_> pennypacker: try /exit
[01:33] <Mikasuliel> Jack_Sparrow: in the ubuntu desktop guide it says to  3. Tick the box beside computer_icon_visible, home_icon_visible, and trash_icon_visible. The changes take effect immediately.  <---- there is no such option
[01:33] <Pennypacker> exit/
[01:33] <IcemanNumber> mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-fuse'
[01:33] <skavenge>  /exit heh
[01:33] <Pennypacker> penguin, the forward slash doesn't help
[01:33] <askyle> Pennypacker:  try    /exit instead
[01:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Iceman, did you run the script in terminal
[01:33] <IcemanNumber> yes
[01:33] <Pennypacker> It says "No such command"
[01:34] <dagrump_>  / 1st
[01:34] <Amaranth> Pennypacker: /quit
[01:34] <skavenge> try /leave or /quit
[01:34] <Jack_Sparrow> IcemanNumber: any errors?
[01:34] <IcemanNumber> it actually ran when i used bash
[01:34] <lophyte> anyone know why shift+backspace would be causing X to restart?
[01:34] <Amaranth> lophyte: You're using XGl
[01:34] <lophyte> yeah, I am :\
[01:34] <IcemanNumber> no errors
[01:34] <Jack_Sparrow> and you did a restart?
[01:34] <lophyte> any way to fix that?
[01:34] <IcemanNumber> yes
[01:34] <Amaranth> lophyte: xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.us-101
[01:34] <Sanne> arapehl, how cool it (sorta) works! Congrats! I also watch videos with external players, I find it not too annoying. I hope you get it optimized. (And I'm no 'man') ;) You're welcome, in any case.
[01:34] <Jack_Sparrow> IcemanNumber:  None of your other partitions are showing on your desktop?
[01:35] <Amaranth> lophyte: if you have a US keyboard
[01:35] <lophyte> Amaranth: thanks :D
[01:35] <IcemanNumber> it also gave me the option to enable beta write support for ntfs
[01:35] <Amaranth> lophyte: you have to run that at every login
[01:35] <Jack_Sparrow> No
[01:35] <lophyte> Amaranth: alrighty
[01:35] <arapehl> Sanne: heh, so then you're the (wo)man then .. ;) thanks either way. :)
[01:35] <IcemanNumber> the partitions show, it just will not let me mount them
[01:35] <penguin42> IcemanNumber: Don't enable write on ntfs unless you are very happy to lose your data - it may well work, but don't trust it
[01:35] <askyle> lophyte: that IS the "official" way to kill a frozen X server though : )
[01:35] <Jack_Sparrow> IcemanNumber:  what partitions do you have
[01:35] <larson9999> everything was going just fine when all of a sudden, the volume from my speakers went very low and sound only came from one speaker.  so i swapped speakers and had the same results.  then i swapped my sb live out for an ensonic es1370 but my machine won't even boot ubuntu with that card in it.(is it supported?).  finally i booted windows and the sound it perfect.  one more test is to boot linux again to see if it's still borked.
[01:35] <Sanne> arapehl, thanks, and have fun with Ubuntu! :)
[01:36] <Jack_Sparrow> IcemanNumber:  What do you show in your fstab?
[01:36] <IcemanNumber> its a laptop, so there is my ntfs for windows and another for recovery partition.
[01:36] <lophyte> Amaranth: thanks a lot.. brb
[01:36] <Jessehk> I am going to be using the instructions here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome.html to make a /home partition. How much space should I leave for / ?
[01:36] <IcemanNumber> not sure how to check fstab
[01:37] <undesktop> wow my home directory is 4.4 GB large, without containing any "multi media" files
[01:37] <Amaranth> Jessehk: i usually do 10GB
[01:37] <jrattner1> Seriously no one knows where to find a network-manager-0.6.3 ubuntu package
[01:37] <Mikasuliel> Jack_Sparrow: in the ubuntu desktop guide it says to  3. Tick the box beside computer_icon_visible, home_icon_visible, and trash_icon_visible. The changes take effect immediately.  <---- there is no such option
[01:37] <jrattner1> ?
[01:37] <lophyte> Amaranth: much better :D
[01:37] <larson9999> penguin42, i've been having crappy luck with fat32, too.  sp fare letting the windows boottime checker has kept me from losing data though.
[01:37] <Amaranth> Jessehk: that's probably way too much but better safe than sorry
[01:37] <Rerre211> penguin42: yes, I did the ifconfig-commands before and after. It seems that the amounts of errors rise considerably in the values I got with the latter ifconfig-command
[01:37] <debnub> Hi everyone. Got troubles connecting to web through a external dsl busybox router. connection is very slow (fine under win xp) any help?
[01:37] <Amaranth> jrattner1: maybe in edge
[01:37] <Amaranth> err, edgy
[01:37] <Jessehk> Amaranth, Thanks. I have plenty of space :)
[01:37] <Jack_Sparrow> click on Mika you will need to wait a minute
[01:38] <penguin42> Rerre211: Which errors - has the IP address stayed the same?
[01:38] <mcphail> That shift-backspace thing is very annoying
[01:38] <Amaranth> I wonder why he wants 0.6.3 so bad, we have 0.6.2
[01:38] <Jack_Sparrow> IcemanNumber:  click on places desktop to open nautilus go to root then etc to find your fstab and double click on it
[01:38] <lophyte> mcphail: yeah, it is
[01:38] <Amaranth> mcphail: It is one of several XGL annoyances
[01:38] <mcphail> yup
[01:38] <skavenge> shift-backspace is only with xgl right? its ctrl+alt+backspace normally
[01:38] <Mikasuliel> Jack_Sparrow, i've waited 5 minutes and nothing has happened
[01:39] <lophyte> its not shift-backspace if you fix it
[01:39] <Amaranth> skavenge: yeah
[01:39] <lophyte> does ctrl+alt+backspace still work with Xgl, though? (I'd rather not try it right now)
[01:39] <skavenge> right on... seems to be the cool new thing lately which i had an nvidia graphics card heh
[01:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikasorry, I am busy, wife is in hospital, and others were ahead of you...
[01:39] <Amaranth> lophyte: i think so
[01:39] <undesktop> how can I make "du -ch --max-d=1" to sort the output by the size of the directories?
[01:39] <skavenge> *wish
[01:39] <mcphail> lophyte: yes
[01:39] <Amaranth> lophyte: I have DontZap
[01:39] <lophyte> Amaranth: what's that?
[01:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Mika having to juggle many things today
[01:39] <J-_> while running mplayer in firefox, the player downloads teh media i want to watch, plays for not even a second, then stops.. it's a wma file, could anyone help me?

[01:41] <Rerre211> penguin42: I forgot to mention, but what we tried to do is to have static IP addresses for Ubuntu and Windows-machines. Machine running Ubuntu is not connected to Internet

[01:47] <jrattner1> Can someone walk me throught the CVS section of: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[01:48] <Amaranth> jrattner1: why do you need 0.6.3 so badly?
[01:48] <IcemanNumber> not sure what to look for in fstab though
[01:48] <Amaranth> jrattner1: we have 0.6.2
[01:48] <MegaManX> Strange that you got weird characters. By default Ubuntu should install Asian characters
[01:48] <SonicChao> jrattner1, using Linux is about LEARNING.
[01:48] <jrattner1> Amaranth, Because I need improved WPA2 support that 0.6.3 has to offer?
[01:48] <SonicChao> jrattner1, not for people to walk you through every small detail
[01:48] <askyle> Mikasuliel: are you running gconf-editor ?
[01:48] <deitarion> I have an Ubuntu-using friend who needs /usr/bin/strip but I use Gentoo so I have no idea what package he needs to install. A little help here?
[01:49] <larson9999> sound still very low in linux :(
[01:49] <Mikasuliel> askyle: no the guide doesnt say to do that
[01:49] <Amaranth> larson9999: Intel ICH7 HD Audio?
[01:49] <SonicChao> larson9999, what?
[01:49] <Sanne> deitarion, try to look for the package name on packages.ubuntu.com
[01:49] <SonicChao> Oh...low sound.
[01:49] <Jack_Sparrow> !symlink
[01:49] <larson9999> Amaranth: no sblive
[01:49] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via applications -> accessories -> terminal (gnome) or kmenu -> system -> konsole (kde). Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[01:49] <askyle> run gconf-editor, you should find those options in there
[01:49] <Amaranth> larson9999: dunno then, sorry
[01:50] <Sanne> deitarion, I just tested, I have /usr/bin/strip, so it should be installable.
[01:50] <larson9999> SonicChao: for some reason the sound on my linux box went very low and only comes from one speaker(though it might just be so low i can't hear from the other) but works perfectly in windows
[01:50] <SonicChao> Hi, I'm running SimplyMEPIS, which is based off Ubuntu, it uses KDE, and would like to know if what applys for ubuntu applys for MEPIS.
[01:50] <Mikasuliel> askyle: well why doesnt it just say that in the guide?
[01:50] <SonicChao> larson9999, okay
[01:50] <askyle> Mikasuliel: to be more specific, under apps/nautilus/desktop
[01:51] <jrattner1> SonicChao, I apoligize I need help because I am inexpereience with CVS and building packages, when I type: sudo apt-get build-dep network-manager I get an error, E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list
[01:51] <askyle> Mikasuliel: actually i remember having read this in the guide
[01:51] <larson9999> the good news is apparently others have had similar problems :)
[01:51] <SonicChao> :)
[01:51] <Mikasuliel> askyle: well then could you show me the link because i do not know how to do that
[01:51] <jrattner1> SonicChao, and linux is about community...
[01:51] <jrattner1> especially ubuntu
[01:52] <Mikasuliel> askyle: i cant even find nautilus, i can only find file browser and i cant open a terminal from there
[01:52] <SonicChao> jrattner1, that doesn't mean everyone walks you through everything. If you're not willing to learn...on your OWN...
[01:53] <jrattner1> SonicChao, alright whatever
[01:53] <skavenge> speaking of known issues i wish the applications -> accessories => terminal
[01:53] <Sanne> deitarion, I found strip in package 'binutils', in case you are still looking.
[01:53] <noiesmo> i am tring to get my laptop to tftpboot from my kubuntu system it finds the dhcp server and says loading pxelinux.0 but nothing else happens any ideas
[01:53] <skavenge> oops i meant applications -> accessories -> terminal to open one
[01:53] <HiP_P> !divx

[01:53] <SonicChao> Hi, I'm running SimplyMEPIS, which is based off Ubuntu, it uses KDE, and would like to know if what applys for ubuntu applys for MEPIS.
[01:53] <ProN00b> is there a download manager for linux that can download one file from multiple sources at once ? (gui not needed)
[01:53] <askyle> nautilus IS the filebrowser.  as for the terminal: applications -> accessories -> terminal
[01:54] <Stergiosaurus> i just installed ubuntu, i am new to the linux community, and i am having trouble connecting to my dsl modem, can anybody help ?
[01:54] <SonicChao> Stergiosaurus, what happens?
[01:54] <Stergiosaurus> nothing actually, i click on the firefox application and i get the ubuntu documentation page, i cant access any websites
[01:54] <Sanne> SonicChao, hey, go easy with jrattner1 ;)
[01:55] <Stergiosaurus> i went into network settings and tried to tinker with it, it wont let me connect
[01:55] <SonicChao> Sanne, k
[01:55] <Mikasuliel> askyle: so what am i supposed to do with this gconf thing? i see no reference to it in that section of the guide
[01:55] <ProN00b> Stergiosaurus, why not call your isp and ask them how to use their service on linux ?
[01:55] <SonicChao> Stergiosaurus, call the ISP
[01:55] <Sanne> jrattner1, you would need to have some source repositories in your /etc/apt/sources.list, so synaptic can fetch source packages.
[01:55] <ProN00b> Stergiosaurus, how did you connect on windows ?
[01:55] <askyle> Mikasuliel: did you run it?
[01:55] <Stergiosaurus> i just plug it into the ethernet port and it connects
[01:56] <SonicChao> Ah...that's how I connect
[01:56] <jrattner1> Sanne, should i put those CVS lines in my sources?
[01:56] <maddy> Stergiosaurus, is it a usb modem?
[01:56] <Stergiosaurus> no
[01:56] <ProN00b> Stergiosaurus, and that works even after you reinstall windows ? or do you have to set something up ?
[01:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikasuliel: You still here... sorry for the lag..
[01:56] <SonicChao> maddy, he says it's Ethernet
[01:56] <Stergiosaurus> its not windows
[01:56] <maddy> Stergiosaurus, in that case there should be no difference
[01:56] <Stergiosaurus> my windows box is fine, im on it right now
[01:56] <Stergiosaurus> its my ubuntu computer
[01:56] <Stergiosaurus> i just installed ubuntu on one of my computers
[01:56] <Mikasuliel> askyle: i did and i still get nothing
[01:57] <Stergiosaurus> im new to linux
[01:57] <askyle> Mikasuliel: then go to apps/nautilus/desktop (within gconf-editor) and there are your options : )
[01:57] <ProN00b> Stergiosaurus, i am just asking because if you need to set up something on your windows, you need to set up the same thing on linux
[01:57] <Mikasuliel> Jack_Sparrow: tis ok
[01:57] <SonicChao> Hi, I'm running SimplyMEPIS, which is based off Ubuntu, it uses KDE, and would like to know if what applys for ubuntu applys for MEPIS.
[01:57] <Stormx2> Stergiosaurus: Whats the problem?
[01:57] <maddy> Stergiosaurus,  modme should not be the problem try rebooting a few times
[01:57] <halitus> that also means it not your router if its working with windows atm
[01:57] <Mikasuliel> askyle: im there and there *are* no options its a *blank* window
[01:57] <Stergiosaurus> i plugged in my ethernet cable from my dsl modem
[01:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikasuliel: Right click on desktop, create launcher
[01:57] <Stergiosaurus> as i ususally do with my windows box
[01:57] <Stergiosaurus> and it wont connect
[01:57] <Stergiosaurus> so i went into network settings
[01:57] <askyle> try typing into it
[01:58] <MegaManX> SonicChao: I don't think anyone knows for sure. There's just one way to know and it is by testing it. If everything gets screwed, then install Ubuntu ^_^
[01:58] <Stergiosaurus> enebled my ethernet connection, and still nothing
[01:58] <maddy> try using static config Stergiosaurus
[01:58] <SonicChao> MegaManX, Thanks for replying at least :)
[01:58] <halitus> stergiosaurus: can you ping it??
[01:58] <Stergiosaurus> k hang on lets see what happens
[01:58] <Sanne> jrattner1, take a look at /etc/apt/sources.list with an editor like gedit, you will see some lines beginning with #deb-src in it. Remove those '#' signs to activate them (make a backup of the file first)
[01:58] <Mikasuliel> Jack_Sparrow: nothing happens when i right click
[01:58] <SonicChao> MegaManX, i'll ask in #mepis
[01:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikasuliel: Set type to Link, command to /home give it any name you want
[01:58] <MegaManX> SonicChao: :).
[01:58] <SonicChao> MegaManX, I kept reposting it 'cause no one was saying anything...sorry...
[01:58] <Stergiosaurus> maddy, it asks me for ip subnet and gateway
[01:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikasuliel: Then you have other problems
[01:59] <Stergiosaurus> can i get those from ipconfig on my windows computer which is plugged into the same modem ?
[01:59] <maddy> Stergiosaurus, u gotta get those from ur windows box
[01:59] <Mikasuliel> wonderful
[01:59] <Stergiosaurus> ok hang on
[01:59] <halitus> Hey while im here can any one help me upgrade from breezy to dapper? im having big problems
[01:59] <skavenge> right clicking on the desktop does nothing? yeah somethings messed up
[01:59] <Sanne> jrattner1, you might also be able to activate the source repositories from within synaptic.
[01:59] <ProN00b> Stergiosaurus, actually you don't have to get them from windows, you can just set dhcp
[01:59] <axs221> can i safely resize my harddrive partitions for ubuntu & windows if i rerun the ubuntu installer partitioner? i want to add more room to ubuntu's partition
[01:59] <uter> hi i have a problem with my Usb-stick (maxfield F-flash) - i cant mount it - can somebody help me?
[01:59] <SonicChao> halitus, what seems to be the problem?
[02:00] <Jack_Sparrow> axs221: yes
[02:00] <maddy> Stergiosaurus, maybe ur modme is set to 1 dhcp client only
[02:00] <ProN00b> if dhcp doesn't get an ip, use 192.168.0.123 and 255.255.255.0 as subnet
[02:00] <ProN00b> also, reset your modem/router
[02:00] <askyle> Mikasuliel: Is there anything written in that blank window?
[02:00] <ompaul> halitus, if you want to do that you need to do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[02:00] <howy424> hey, could installing msttcorefonts cause any problems, like I was here about previously preventing UB from booting?
[02:00] <Jack_Sparrow> axs221: I still prefer to use something like partition manager to resize ntfs
[02:00] <Jack_Sparrow> magic
[02:00] <Mikasuliel> askyle: No.....its blank
[02:00] <Stergiosaurus> it says the interface is active, but i still cant connect
[02:00] <ompaul> halitus, leaving out dist will leave you hundreds of megs down
[02:00] <jrib> howy424: no, it definitely should not cause taht
[02:01] <kbrooks> howy424: but proprietary is proprietary
[02:01] <halitus> sonicchao: well i have a cd here which i got from an iso  it boots into the live mode fine if not a bit slow
[02:01] <axs221> Jack_Sparrow: thanks, i'll give it a shot
[02:01] <maddy> Stergiosaurus, this linux box have u got any other Os on it wich do get internet
[02:01] <ompaul> !upgrade
[02:01] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[02:01] <uter> hi i have a problem with my Usb-stick (maxfield F-flash) - i cant mount it - can somebody help me?
[02:01] <Jack_Sparrow> axs221: should work fine
[02:02] <Mikasuliel> askyle: i have Dapper if that makes any difference
[02:02] <howy424> jrib, kbrooks: thanks, well my new install just finished its update, so it needs a rebooot. I'm going to do that now, then try installing one thing at a time to find out where the issue is
[02:03] <howy424> cya
[02:03] <SonicChao> !patience
[02:03] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped.
[02:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Thanks SonicChao
[02:03] <halitus> sonicchao: then i click the old install icon and it gets to the point of keyboard layout and it hangs
[02:04] <askyle> Mikasuliel: just to recap: you opened a terminal, ran gconf-editor, and got a blank window?
[02:04] <IcemanNumber> once again...thanks jack
[02:04] <Jack_Sparrow> IcemanNumber: How far did you get?
[02:04] <SonicChao> Jack_Sparrow, np
[02:04] <IcemanNumber> i had to edit the fstab file
[02:04] <Jack_Sparrow> IcemanNumber: So your good to go?
[02:04] <IcemanNumber> the script set the filesystem to ntfs-fuse
[02:04] <IcemanNumber> changed it to just ntfs
[02:05] <Jack_Sparrow> ah
[02:05] <Mikasuliel> askyle: i got the Configuration Editor for Desktop, I tried to right click on Desktop like Jack said to do, nothing happens when i right click, and the window in the right pane is blank.
[02:05] <Jack_Sparrow> IcemanNumber: The script isnt perfect...
[02:05] <larson9999> Amaranth: found the problem.  i was using the headphone jack(the other is turned off for some reason) alsamixer helped fix it
[02:05] <skavenge> right click on the actual desktop not the word
[02:05] <IcemanNumber> it taught me something about mounting partitions in linux though
[02:05] <MisterN> n8
[02:05] <ic56> askyle: if your recap is right, Mikasuliel's problem might be a badly tuned theme -- black on black somehow.
[02:05] <Amaranth> larson9999: cool
[02:05] <Mikasuliel> and im sorry if you think im giving you attitude, but ive read the manual cover to cover and ive got most things taken care of, its just these three things and i havent a clue how to fix them
[02:06] <Mikasuliel> ic56: i have the default theme
[02:06] <larson9999> Mikasuliel: the joys of the manual!
[02:06] <Jack_Sparrow> IcemanNumber: It was worth it if you learned something in the process.  Yours was the first system to fail with that script today
[02:06] <askyle> Mikasuliel: ok, on the left pane, double-click on apps, then nautilus, then desktop
[02:06] <ic56> Mikasuliel: ah. well, an easy shot in teh dark anyway...
[02:06] <lophyte> Amaranth: you still around?
[02:06] <skavenge> Mikasuliel: and you right clicked on the actual desktop, not in any program and it didnt work?
[02:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikasuliel: You have worse problems that your wallpaper
[02:06] <Mikasuliel> ack
[02:06] <Amaranth> lophyte: yeah
[02:07] <Mikasuliel> one second
[02:07] <IcemanNumber> i always seem to have that luck
[02:07] <lophyte> Amaranth: any idea if there's another US keymap I can try? us-101 is giving me problems too
[02:07] <askyle> I think Mikasuliel right-clicked the word "desktop" on the gconf-editor window
[02:07] <IcemanNumber> thats how i learn....im always messing things up
[02:07] <Mikasuliel> askyle: on the left pane where?
[02:07] <Mika_i> hmm
[02:07] <skavenge> askyle: as do i
[02:07] <halitus> would i be able to chat in private with someone about upgrading to dapper? i have tryed alot of what was said and it didnt work for various reasons
[02:07] <uter> what can i do when lsusb doesnt work when i put my usbstick into the usb hub ? - how can i mount it ;) ?
[02:07] <Amaranth> lophyte: there is xmodmap.us101A_x86
[02:08] <Mikasuliel> am i supposed to click on the actual desktop?
[02:08] <lophyte> Amaranth: maybe I'll try that
[02:08] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[02:08] <skavenge> yes, right click on actual desktop
[02:08] <Mikasuliel> oy
[02:08] <Jack_Sparrow> then launch
[02:08] <HBuzacott> Does anyone know why the Ship-it CD's don't include the alternate CD?
[02:08] <apostols> Hi
[02:08] <sktx> oh they don't??
[02:08] <askyle> Mikasuliel: is there a list of folders on the configuration editor's left pane?
[02:08] <apostols> how can i reconfigure sound in Dapper?
[02:09] <Mikasuliel> Jack_Sparrow: there is no launch if i right click on the actual desktop
[02:09] <Mikasuliel> askyle: yes
[02:09] <Mika_i> everytime some1 say Mikasuliel my hilight scream like big
[02:09] <skavenge> 'create launcher'
[02:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikasuliel: create launcher
[02:09] <askyle> Mikasuliel: is there a folder labeled "apps" ?
[02:10] <Mikasuliel> askyle: yes
[02:10] <Mikasuliel> Jack_Sparrow: i did create launcher
[02:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikasuliel: set type to link
[02:11] <Mikasuliel> Jack_Sparrow: ok
[02:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikasuliel: set command to /home and Name it anything you want
[02:11] <askyle> Mikasuliel: doubleclick it. A sublist should appear -- find "nautilus" there
[02:11] <Mikasuliel> Jack_Sparrow: there is no option for command
[02:11] <metrol> After many an hour hunting through Google searches... anyone know how to get Pent-D support to actually see 2 processors?
[02:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikasuliel: and of course click on OK
[02:12] <skavenge> theres a huge box that says command:
[02:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikasuliel: title of the box should be create launcher
[02:12] <metrol> It would appear that I already have an SMP kernel... ummm, I think I do
[02:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikasuliel: name/generic name, comment command, type, icon
[02:12] <Mikasuliel> Jack_Sparrow: just got it to work with what askyle told me to do
[02:12] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[02:13] <lophyte> Amaranth: strange.. I switched back to xmodmap.us and now shift+bksp isn't restarting X
[02:13] <skavenge> metrol: what kernel? the i386 ones dont have smp enabled by default
[02:13] <dagrump_> metrol: not sure but 686 s? restricted
[02:13] <metrol> skavenge: I'm just looking at Synaptic at the moment... where do I look for real here?
[02:13] <metrol> Coming from FreeBSD, and all this just looks odd to me still :)
[02:13] <skavenge> metrol: open a terminal and do 'uname -r'
[02:14] <metrol> Sure enough, 386
[02:14] <Jack_Sparrow> metrol: My default install sees my P - d (both)
[02:14] <Mikasuliel> NEXT QUESTION: how do i get the backgrounds to work in file manager?
[02:14] <skavenge> metrol: yeah, afaik the 386 kernels dont have smp support (so i've been told)
[02:14] <metrol> Jack_Sparrow: I checked /proc/cpuinfo and only one shows up
[02:15] <metrol> Also, the dmesg specifically states one has been disabled... which lead me here to you fine folks!
[02:15] <larson9999> sound working again!
[02:15] <askyle> Mikasuliel: no idea, try playing around with nautilus' options now that you know where to find them ; )
[02:16] <FreemaN> hello
[02:16] <Mikasuliel> askyle: it says to drag and drop onto the window i want it on....i do that and nothing happens and then for the next several minutes  i have that tile floating back n forth
[02:16] <larson9999> metrol: bsd?  what did they do, put a gun to your head?  :)
[02:16] <metrol> Oh boy, in Synaptic it shows I have both the 386 and 686 kernels...
[02:16] <Mikasuliel> askyle: which leads me to believe its a video issue
[02:16] <eugman> I made a script. How do I give it a special icon and make it so it won't ask me if i want to open it or run it. I want it to jsut run.
[02:16] <skavenge> i just dragged one into the file browser, works for me here
[02:16] <larson9999> metrol: i mean to make you switch. i don't know many bsd folks who volunteer to use linux
[02:16] <metrol> larson9999: freeking nfs is borked hard in 6.1, which got me looking elsewhere
[02:16] <larson9999> metrol: aha
[02:16] <lasindi> Hi all, I've installed Ubuntu Dapper on one of my machines, and I installed the NVIDIA driver through Easyubuntu. In order to switch to the nvidia driver, I just changed the "nv" entry to "nvidia" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Everything sems to work fine, except that as soon as X starts, my fan stops spinning. Is there a reason why this happens, and how can I fix it?
[02:17] <metrol> Man, and my time trials with Ubuntu and NFS xfrs blew me away!
[02:17] <askyle> Mikasuliel: i'm really at a loss there, sorry
[02:17] <noiesmo> hmmm my laptops doing the etherboot finds dhcp server and says its loading pxelinux.0 but not much happens
[02:17] <askyle> anyway, i desperately need some sleepies now -- hope to see y'all soon again : )
[02:18] <Mikasuliel> askyle: thanks
[02:18] <larson9999> metrol: i use smp but 2 p3 slot cpus.  i heard it was hard with those cpus
[02:18] <Stormx2> barney@deepthought:~$ sudo ln -s /media/Music /var/www
[02:18] <Stormx2> ln: creating symbolic link `/var/www/Music' to `/media/Music': File exists <--- meh?
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> gnight
[02:18] <askyle> Mikasuliel: no problem
[02:18] <metrol> There's still a stack of stuff to get around to get fully comfy in Linux land... like no jails, init.d, and all the "little" differences.  Still, I've been pretty impressed with Ubuntu for a while
[02:19] <cute_bettong> can anyone tell me how to get a vnc client for ubuntu?
[02:19] <metrol> Well, it looks like I've got the 386 and 686 kernels installed here... do I force an uninstall on the 386 and a reinstall on 686?
[02:19] <metrol> And no, I don't have a clue how I got them both on here :)
[02:19] <chahibi> Does Ubuntu have all Debian packages? More ?
[02:19] <eugman> Lasindi, it may be better to go through the motions and do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. The recofigure may find something specific to your card.
[02:19] <Stormx2> Wait, can I mount the same partition in two different places?
[02:19] <thunderbolt> metrol: If i recall correctly, it keeps the old kernel as a 'backup', you should be running with the new 686 kernel...
[02:19] <cute_bettong> can anyone tell me how to get vnc from the repos
[02:20] <metrol> thunderbolt: not according to uname -r
[02:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Stormx2: symlink it
[02:20] <dagrump_> metrol:is it the smp restricted
[02:20] <skavenge> metrol: you can pick which one to boot with grub as well
[02:20] <Stormx2> Jack_Sparrow: I tried.
[02:20] <cute_bettong> i have the server on windows and i want the client on dapper
[02:20] <metrol> skavenge: Darn it sir, you are right and that should have hit me earlier
[02:20] <Stormx2> Jack_Sparrow: barney@deepthought:~$ sudo ln -s /var/www /media/Music
[02:20] <Stormx2> ln: creating symbolic link `/media/Music/www' to `/var/www': Operation not permitted
[02:20] <Mikasuliel> Would anyone have any idea why the backgrounds arent working when i drag n drop? Or is that more of a bug?
[02:20] <eugman> Anyone know how to make a bash script run only?
[02:21] <Stormx2> eugman: run only... what?
[02:21] <skavenge> Mikasuliel: works fine here
[02:21] <metrol> I tried that last night... but I had the keyboard in the wrong plug.  Just batting a 1000 here with Linux... duh!
[02:21] <metrol> Before I go and reboot, one more question...
[02:21] <larson9999> metrol: i asked someone with a p4 chip(i think).  he said it just worked.  same for my p3's.
[02:21] <eugman> Stormx2, I want to skip the dialogue where it asks to run or write or run in terminal.
[02:21] <Mikasuliel> skavenge: well im glad it works somewhere! :D   now if we could just get it working on my system :-P
[02:21] <Stormx2> eugman: Ah i think its just a preference mate...
[02:21] <metrol> If I have loaded in the nvidia kernel module that's running nice with the 386 kernel, will it still play nice with 686?
[02:22] <Stormx2> Jack_Sparrow: hello?
[02:22] <metrol> I guess I'm about to find out :)
[02:22] <thunderbolt> metrol: that's the spirit!
[02:22] <metrol> I "should" be right back :)
[02:22] <skavenge> Mikasuliel: yeah thats wierd, im doing it the same way too just dragging it from the 'backgrounds and emblems' window into the file manager
[02:23] <lophyte> anyone know of an OSX-esque dock program for Ubuntu?
[02:23] <lasindi> eugman: I tried that
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Stormx2:  Im exhaused... SOmeone else will need to help with that..
[02:23] <stpere> lophyte, gdesklets
[02:23] <lasindi> eugman: unless there's something special I need to do in dpkg-reconfigure
[02:23] <lophyte> stpere: oh, is there one for gdesklets? *looks*
[02:23] <Mikasuliel> skavenge: does the little "texture patch" stay and change the background or does it go back up to the background viewer?
[02:24] <eugman> lasindi, not sure then. You may want to check on the forums to see if anyone has the same problem or if it's something realted to how you changed it.
[02:24] <skavenge> Mikasuliel: mine changes as soon as i drop it and it goes back
[02:24] <Mikasuliel> skavenge: mine doesnt change, it does go back, and then every couple of minutes, even after ive closed all that i still get a little patch "going back"
[02:25] <Ademan> my trash won't empty... wtf...
[02:25] <eugman> Anyone know how to make it so a specic script won't ask whether I want to run or open it? I just want it to run.
[02:25] <bimberi> Ademan: got things in it that are owned by root?  ''ls -l ~/.Trash''
[02:25] <skavenge> Mikasuliel: yeah im definitely not getting that, im running stock video drivers, i really dont know what the culprit might be its an odd problem heh
[02:26] <Ademan> augman: you have #! /bin/bash   as the first characters right?
[02:26] <Ademan> bimberi: i'm pretty sure nothing is
[02:26] <dagrump_> dagrump
[02:26] <dagrump_> soooorrry wrong keyboard
[02:27] <Ademan> bimberi: yeah they're all my files
[02:27] <Mikasuliel> skavenge: im running stock drivers too, i tried installing the ati stuff like it said to do in the manual and it totally fubar'd it, i had to go into command line and revert to the old settings
[02:27] <eugman> Ademan, yes.
[02:27] <bimberi> Ademan: hm, not sure then :/
[02:27] <skavenge> Mikasuliel: if the rest of the video/graphics are fine i doubt its a driver issue anyway .. seems like an odd gnome problem
[02:27] <Ademan> whether or not its related, my gnome-panel is now using 1.6 gig of virtual memory and 1.1 physical memory
[02:28] <Ademan> 1.1 gigs
[02:28] <lasindi> eugman: ok, thanks
[02:28] <metrol> That silly grub menu did it... but I lost my nvidia driver
[02:28] <Mikasuliel> skavenge: they're a bit choppy
[02:28] <jeeves_Moss> all:  can any one give me a hand installing RealPlayer 10, and possibly a stream player for M$ streams?
[02:28] <metrol> Does grub remember the last picked kernel for the next reboot, or do I have some configuring to do?
[02:28] <Ademan> you gotta configure iirc
[02:29] <eugman> Jeeves_moss, there is a page in the wiki, let me find it.
[02:29] <metrol> Ademan: sounds like I gots me some reading to do... until then I need to figger out how to get the "right" nvidia kernel module in here I guess
[02:30] <GoTux> jeeves_Moss: are you registered?
[02:30] <jeeves_Moss> eugman:  thanks again.  Everything I've tried fails, and I'm getting annoyed with the M$ streams
[02:30] <jeeves_Moss> GoTux:  Registered?
[02:31] <GoTux> i was going to suggest you pm me, that way things can be easier to follow
[02:31] <GoTux> register you nick on freenode
[02:31] <eugman> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RealplayerInstallationMethods Still need to find streamer
[02:31] <jeeves_Moss> goTux:  I've got the other window open in XChat to talk to you.
[02:31] <jeeves_Moss> eugman:  thanks, I'll have a look
[02:32] <eugman> Jeeves_moss, could you remind me of the file format for a stream?
[02:33] <dagrump_> metrol: u wont like it i did clean install , update, get restricted , then install driver as if kernal updated zaps the driver
[02:33] <jeeves_Moss> eugman:  I'm trying to play stuff from www.radiotower.com
[02:33] <proctor> i got the hdd mounting prob solved
[02:34] <eugman> Ah real ausio. You don't need real player Jeeves_Moss. Somehoe I'm listening to it with mplayer
[02:35] <eugman> I'll see if i can find anything about it.
[02:35] <GoTux> jeeves_Moss: did you add gstreamer-mad
[02:36] <jeeves_Moss> no, I'm guessing MPlayer will stream it propely?  I'm not up for cut/pasting of URLs, etc.
[02:36] <larson9999> speaking of playing things... anyone able to get radiomat.com to work?  with wine or other?
[02:36] <jeeves_Moss> eugman:  I have mplayer installed I think allready.
[02:37] <eugman> Jeeves_moss, but you probably need the right decoders which are unlikely to come with it by default
[02:38] <GoTux> jeeves_Moss:  i can probably help you out, but can we move to a less busy channel?
[02:38] <jeeves_Moss> eugman:  ok, I know I'm a n00b, and I'm lazy...  or should I say drunk, and a n00b, but is there a simple way of doing this to have all the codecs install properly?  Basicly I just want to be able to play streams (either M$ or real player) with out the cut/past of URLs
[02:38] <jeeves_Moss> GoTux:  ok, one sec.  can you acomplish all of those things I'd like to do?
[02:38] <eugman> One question, Jeeves_moss do you have the w32codecs installed?
[02:39] <jeeves_Moss> eugman:  I don't think so.  Is there a simple way of doing it?
[02:39] <GoTux> probably, go here to this channel for now, it's quieter #gotux
[02:39] <eugman> yes you cut and past a few commands. let me get the link.
[02:39] <Zambezi> Is there a way to turn off gdm without erasing it? I tried to change a value to three, but it didn't work.
[02:39] <jeeves_Moss> eugman:  I'm heading over to #goTux
[02:40] <Jack_Sparrow> !restricted >jeeves_Moss
[02:40] <eugman> ok see you there
[02:40] <tach00> Hey, how do i resize my swap partition?
[02:43] <tach00> Hey, how do i resize my swap partition?
[02:43] <proctor> tach00: I was gonna ask that some time later...incase i were to increase my ram
[02:43] <metrol> Off to do bad things to this poor PC
[02:43] <proctor> would I go back into windows and use partiton magic/gparted?
[02:43] <skavenge> proctor: that works
[02:43] <tach00> proctor: does the size of the swap relate to the amount of ram? or can you size it how you want
[02:44] <bsdirl> proctor: or computer management in controlpanel>admin.tools
[02:44] <wweasel> Hey guys. I have a pretty serious problem, and I am rather worried.  See, I can't boot up into Ubuntu anymore.  I get to grub and the first error message on my list is "mount: Mounting /dev/hda2 on /root failed: No such device" Help please?
[02:44] <bsdirl> computer management > disk management does some light partitioning
[02:44] <dagrump_> i use same as physcl ram
[02:45] <wweasel> tach00: you can size it how you want, but the rule of thumb is same size as physical ram
[02:45] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel: did you remove any drives?
[02:45] <tach00> ok that make sense
[02:45] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel: change any partitions, run qtparted or Partition magic
[02:45] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: Nope. And I know for a fact that my Ubuntu partition is still there and nice. I can see it from windows (I use ext2fsd which is ext2 drivers for windows)
[02:45] <larson9999> wweasel: funny, i usually hear the rule of thumb is twice physical ram... is that an old rule of thumb?
[02:46] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel: those may be the cause of your problem
[02:46] <wweasel> larson9999: I don't know...I looked it up yesterday
[02:46] <proctor> *twice yeah
[02:46] <tach00> ok now for a dorky question, which is newer, gnome or kde?
[02:46] <dagrump_> i luv this chnnl
[02:46] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: I used GParted, resizing and stuff yesterday, but I have used Ubuntu since.  I haven't done anything to partitions since I was last in Ubuntu.
[02:46] <larson9999> tach00: as in which put out the latest version or wich project was created last?
[02:47] <dagrump_> i learn some i laugh a lot
[02:47] <Mikasuliel> Question: is there any place or any person i can contact for help with the background issue? I've plain just given up on the video card
[02:47] <tach00> larson9999: which is better
[02:47] <wweasel> tach00: that's a very dangerous and inflammatory question
[02:47] <Gareth1> heh
[02:47] <larson9999> tach00: the answer is the one you like best.
[02:47] <Gareth1> loaded question, definitely
[02:47] <Gareth1> give them both a spin, there is no issue with having them both installed
[02:48] <Ignite_> i've just redesigned my partition scheme and installed windows on another partition next to Kubuntu (i need windows for Photoshop :( ) but my times are all screwed, you see, my timezone info was set that the hardware clock uses UTC, which thanks to windows it nolonger does, is there a way to fix this or am i forced to reinstall? :'(
[02:48] <wweasel> tach00: Try them both, see what you like
[02:48] <skavenge> 'better' is relative, and thats a flamewar waiting to happen heh
[02:48] <tach00> lol i c, guess there is some bias-ness
[02:48] <larson9999> tach00: there are plenty of other desktops/wms too.  i personally like kde much better than gnome.
[02:48] <bigfoot1> help, my totem can't play .mov files
[02:48] <wweasel> And I personally much prefer Gnome :)
[02:48] <tach00> larson9999: it does seem to have more capability
[02:48] <Ignite_> BiGcaT, w32codecs, wiki.ubuntu.com search for restricted formats
[02:48] <Ignite_> bigfoot1*
[02:48] <bigfoot1> totem seemed to work fine in my hoary and breezy days
[02:48] <Ignite_> damn tab complete
[02:49] <larson9999> tach00: imo if you'd like something close to windows, i think you'd prefer kde.  but definitely try some out.
[02:49] <skavenge> you can run kde apps on gnome and vice versa anyway
[02:49] <wweasel> Anyways, could someone help me with my problem? It's kinda worrying me.  I can't boot up into ubuntu.... "mount: Mounting /dev/hda2 on /root failed: No such device"
[02:49] <Ignite_> bigfoot1, see what i just said :P
[02:49] <Gareth1> Ignite_, that's no worry
[02:49] <Gareth1> you're just saying the clock is wrong, right?
[02:49] <Ignite_> yeah
[02:49] <larson9999> skavenge: yeah, funny how people seem to forget that.  i always do
[02:49] <Gareth1> I forget where it is that you set the time (are you using GNOME?) but I know it's definitely possible
[02:49] <LTjake> i'm trying to get VMware in fullscreen mode and i'm getting this message: "Unable to find an appropriate host video mode." anyone seen that before?
[02:49] <larson9999> skavenge: i don't always forget it. i always use gnome apps in kde and vice versa
[02:49] <skavenge> right click on the clock
[02:49] <wweasel> If you're in gnome, just right click the clock
[02:50] <wweasel> larson9999: I don't. I use AmaroK and KMess, and Gnome.
[02:50] <Gareth1> yeah, probably something like that (using xfce here)
[02:50] <skavenge> larson9999: yeah i live by k3b even though i use gnome
[02:50] <larson9999> same as in kde
[02:50] <mooseman447> does anybody know where suse puts apache's httpd2-worker?
[02:50] <Ignite_> i'm using KDE, and i have used ntp to update the time automatically, problem is all the timezone info is incorrect, well, its not... but linux thinks the hardware clock is UTC and windows localtime
[02:51] <bigfoot1> Ignite_:  i can play .mov files in mplayer, though
[02:51] <tach00> i cant seem to get k3b to do anything, the other cd burner software works but k3b just sits there and does nothing
[02:51] <Ignite_> bigfoot1, sudo apt-get remove totem-gstreamer then sudo apt-get install totem-xine
[02:51] <Ignite_> :P
[02:51] <benplaut_win> I've got a problem with mounting a media drive.  Here's the line in fstab, i thought it was set up that all users could rw:
[02:51] <dagrump_> now where did she put that hmmmmmm
[02:51] <benplaut_win> /dev/hdb1   /media/files   vfat   user,auto,fmask=0111,dmask=0000   0   0
[02:51] <wweasel> Hey guys. I have a pretty serious problem, and I am rather worried.  See, I can't boot up into Ubuntu anymore.  I get to grub and the first error message on my list is "mount: Mounting /dev/hda2 on /root failed: No such device" Help please?
[02:52] <benplaut_win> however, here's the line in mtab, and it's not rw:
[02:52] <benplaut_win> /dev/hdb1 /media/files vfat rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0
[02:52] <bigfoot1> Ignite_: if gstreamer worse than xine?
[02:52] <benplaut_win> any suggestions?
[02:52] <bigfoot1> Ignite_: i thoughtt that dapper has improved gstreamer to such a point that gstreamer has become the default. please confirm
[02:53] <Ignite_> gstreamer is good
[02:53] <Ignite_> you don't have the plugins though
[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel: Since you just repartitioned I would think it got hosed, even though you got back into it once...
[02:53] <Ignite_> you could install them...
[02:53] <bigfoot1> Ignite_: so how can i get the plugins
[02:53] <bigfoot1> ?
[02:53] <DarkMageZ> gstreamer improved alot since version 0.8, 0.10 is usable
[02:53] <bigfoot1> i tried searching for it in wiki.ubuntu
[02:53] <Ignite_> bigfoot1, not sure
[02:53] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: I know it isn't hosed. I can browse through it from within Windows
[02:53] <Ignite_> one sec
[02:53] <bigfoot1> can anyone help me get plugins for gstreamer, so that i can play .mov files in totem?
[02:54] <skavenge> gstreamer is default but it still has issues ... notably dvd playback still requires totem-xine which im not thrilled about
[02:54] <Mikasuliel> Is there any place or any person i can contact for help with the background issue in nautilus? I've plain just given up on the video card
[02:54] <HiP_P> can someone give me a hand trying this ati card working
[02:54] <intelligi> Did anyone ever get back to me on how to move files around on the remote system with gFTP?
[02:54] <Ignite_> bigfoot1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats <-= that should help
[02:54] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: I am going into a live CD right now to double check that it isn't hosed
[02:54] <tach00> has anyone used alinux 12.7?
[02:55] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: What do you recommend I do?
[02:55] <bigfoot1> Ignite_: thaNKS
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel: You cant tell it is intact by browsing... You are using experimental windows tool which even complicates the issue
[02:55] <Ignite_> bigfoot1, no problem
[02:55] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: ext2fsd isn't particularly experimental, and read-only mounting isn't dangerous.
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel:  If you say so... Not my choice..
[02:55] <bigfoot1> but i'm still a bit confused. how is it that i can play multimedia in mplayer but not in totem?
[02:56] <HiP_P> its working but its not being used right
[02:56] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: How would I check if it's hosed?
[02:56] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel:  I suggest for you next install you create a second linux partition for a backup of your system
[02:56] <HiP_P> !ati
[02:56] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:57] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel:  If grub cant see the partition something is seriously wrong
[02:57] <bigfoot1> Ignite_: i'm on that wiki page, but which instructions do i follow?
[02:57] <bigfoot1> Ignite_: shoulld i keep my current version of totem?
[02:57] <HiP_P> ahhhh ... cheers
[02:58] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: I am in a Live CD now. How would I mount it?
[02:58] <Jack_Sparrow> !mount
[02:58] <ubotu> Disks store lots of data. Partitioning: try gparted or qtparted  - Formatting: see the manpage for mkfs  - Mounting: system -> administration -> disks
[02:59] <Jack_Sparrow> for those that have handicaps... Click on System  click on administration click on disks
[03:01] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: I don't know what to do. You think it's hosed. How would I verify for sure?
[03:01] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: If it is hosed, what should I do?
[03:02] <Loomy11> When I try to install my Nvidia drivers I get this message:

[03:02] <Loomy11> I go to the site and I don't know whitch one to get can someone help me please?
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel: I would make a second ext partition, copy my /home folder to it and reinstall
[03:02] <wweasel> could I just copy it to my FAT32 partition?
[03:02] <joeljkp> i need libopenal.so.0; should i install libopenal0, or libopenal0a?
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> sure
[03:02] <Loomy11> sorry for my message making so many posts not sure why that happened
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> but that can have problems...
[03:03] <wweasel> Jack: why?
[03:03] <Jack_Sparrow> file length restrictions and such... but do it any way you want..
[03:04] <wweasel> argh. So there's no way of recovering my file system? Even though I suspect that it is intact?
[03:04] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel:  Just my choice to use a spare ext3
[03:04] <Mikasuliel> for the 3rd and final time: can someone point me to someone/somewhere where i can receive help with this nautilus background error?
[03:04] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel:  it could be recovered.. with enough time and effort.. If you had the knowledge..
[03:05] <skavenge> Mikasuliel: google for an answer or you can pay for help through ubuntu's website, i dont know where else to look
[03:05] <salah> I have a disk partition with all my stuff inside, has the label /, can I still make a partition inside it?
[03:06] <joeljkp> anyone? libopenal0 or libopenal0a?
[03:06] <Killeroid> Mikasuliel: will ya calm down,most of the peope here are volunteers and so ust ask politely
[03:06] <Killeroid> *just
[03:07] <Loomy11> is it okay for me to repost my question?
[03:07] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: Could you point me in the right direction if I wanted to try to see if it can be recovered?
[03:07] <Patrick_> ...
[03:07] <Mikasuliel> Killeroid: i have been trying to ask nicely, but ive asked 3 times over the span of  a half hour/45 minutes, and ive been ignored each time when people after me have asked for help

[03:08] <Loomy11> I go to the site and I don't know whitch one to get can someone help me please?
[03:08] <skavenge> if people are not replying it most likely means no one knows the answer .. they are not just ignoring
[03:08] <david_> is there a program to copy dvd's?
[03:08] <wweasel> Mikasuliel: Probably no one knows the answer for you
[03:08] <hackel> Outrageous!  Patrick_ you should sue the developers!  Oh wait, that's YOU.
[03:08] <Ignite_> Patrick_, its not supposed to work properly... its not finished..
[03:08] <skavenge> Loomy11: what does java have to do with nvidia drivers?
[03:08] <Patrick_> I've spent....atleast 100+ hours getting it to work ignite_
[03:08] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel: You are asking how high is up?   With yourcurrent level of knowledge you are better off reinstalling
[03:08] <Patrick_> hackel? wtf?
[03:08] <tanlaan> ok i have a problem, what piece of software would i use to run a shell script periodically?
[03:09] <zaudragon> hmmm, where should I ask about parted?
[03:09] <Loomy11> skavenge: i dont have any idea but it gives me that response every time i try.
[03:09] <Ignite_> Patrick_, well, you can't complain really, its alpha software, expect it to act like alpha software
[03:09] <hackel> Patrick_:  You have no one to blame for the software not working the way you want but YOURSELF.  Go get off your ass and fix it.
[03:09] <Patrick_> ignite_ well, I think it screwed up my video card drivers.
[03:09] <Mikasuliel> wweasel: ok, thats fine i understand that, then it would be nice if they could point me in a direction that would help me, and i already have googled it
[03:09] <Patrick_> hackel, I don't have time for assholes
[03:09] <skavenge> Loomy11: wish i could help but that ones got me baffled, i dont see how the two are connected

[03:10] <hackel> Patrick_:  No but you have time to waste 100+ hours on something silly like that?  Come on, you obviously are not the most technical person around.  Just wait until it's done before playing with it and getting upset.
[03:10] <Patrick_> ignite_ fglrxinfo says "Unable to open display :0"
[03:10] <Patrick_> hackel, please spare me
[03:10] <adamant1988> hackel, when your car doesn't work the way you want, I get the feeling you take it to someone else to fix it after spending a hefty amount of time complaining.
[03:10] <joeljkp> anyone? libopenal0 or libopenal0a?
[03:11] <tanlaan> what would i use to run a shell script periodically?
[03:11] <Patrick_> ignite_ isant it supposed to use display :1?
[03:11] <david_> is there software that can copy a dvd?
[03:11] <hackel> adamant1988:  Exactly, I don't try to assemble a half-working prototype car when I know nothing about it and get upset that it doesn't work.
[03:11] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: I just don't want to give up and restart from scratch.  I am still able to see everything in my linux partition. I have booted it successfully a couple times since using GParted. Splashy still works until it encounters the error. I'd like to undrstand: what is broken? Why can't it detect the partition if a Live CD and the windows software can?
[03:11] <rpedro> joeljkp: do a 'dpkg -S <files_name>' ,it should give you the package with the file you want
[03:11] <Jack_Sparrow> david yes, and it can shrink it like the windows prog
[03:11] <Ignite_> Patrick_, i don't know, i've never used it, i've used AIGLX and thats as close as it gets, that was just for playing around, i wouldn't use it full time, not yet
[03:11] <adamant1988> hackel,  I bet you would when everyone else around is talking about how cool it is and doing it.
[03:11] <hawkaloogie> I just updated to Dapper and now I can't run k3b as anything but root. I also can't run gnomebaker at all, it says it has a GThread error (only one can be started at at time). How can I fix one or the other?
[03:12] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel:  then use live and reinstall grub
[03:12] <Patrick_> ignite_ hmm...
[03:12] <Ignite_> hawkaloogie, try running k3bsetup as root
[03:12] <joeljkp> rpedro: they both have the same file
[03:12] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel:  that cant hurt
[03:12] <joeljkp> rpedro: and the same description
[03:12] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: You think that might help?
[03:12] <tanlaan> what would i use to run a shell script periodically?
[03:12] <Patrick_> Does anyone know how to fix such an error? with fglrxinfo, it says "Unable to open display :0"
[03:12] <hackel> adamant1988:  Especially not if the car maker GAVE me the spare prototype parts for free.
[03:12] <rpedro> joeljkp: then get the one with the most recent version number
[03:13] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: I had to do that once, after I reinstalled Windows yesterday and it rewrote my MBR. Grub was restored successfully, and I opened up Ubuntu once. Shut it down, went out, came back, now this.
[03:13] <DarkMageZ> hackel, are you guys talking about xgl & compiz by any chance?
[03:13] <joeljkp> rpedro: openal0: 0.2005080600-2.1build2, openal0a: 1:0.0.8-1ubuntu1
[03:13] <hackel> DarkMageZ:  No, we're talking about cars. :)
[03:14] <DarkMageZ> hackel, oh, but before that :P
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel:  I'm done with this...
[03:14] <rpedro> joeljkp: get the ubuntu version, don't know where you got that other one
[03:14] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: Sorry to bother you.
[03:14] <wastrel> ubunto
[03:14] <adamant1988> DarkMageZ, yes, we were talking about XGL/compiz
[03:14] <lenrek> What yours preferred application for irc client?
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel:  You keep remembering things you did...
[03:14] <hackel> DarkMageZ:  yes, that's the general topic.
[03:14] <wastrel> xchat
[03:14] <joeljkp> rpedro: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/libs/libopenal0, http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/libs/libopenal0a
[03:14] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: No, I don't. I know exactly what I did.
[03:14] <joeljkp> rpedro: they're both in dapper
[03:14] <tanlaan> what might i use to run a shell script periodically?
[03:15] <pianoboy3333> wo0t! GAME STARTING IN #ubuntu-trivia!!!!!
[03:15] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel:  Even when I asked what all lead up to the problem you NEVER mentioned you reinstalled Windows..
[03:15] <wastrel> tanlaan:  cron -  check  man crontab  and crontab -e
[03:15] <adamant1988> wweasel, I know this is off topic... do you or did you do graphical art?
[03:15] <DarkMageZ> Patrick_, xgl is in #ubuntu-xgl :P
[03:15] <wweasel> adamant1988: I have no idea what you're talking about.
[03:15] <adamant1988> nevermind then :)
[03:16] <tanlaan> wastrel: what?
[03:16] <DarkMageZ> Patrick_, it is really nice once you get it working. keep at it if you have the time
[03:16] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: I'm sorry I didn't mention it earlier. But it didn't seem relevant. I have been in Ubuntu since I reinstalled windows.
[03:16] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: And since I restored grub earlier today
[03:16] <wweasel> !grub
[03:16] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:16] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: (which was after installing windows)
[03:16] <wastrel> tanlaan:  cron is the program to use for scheduling periodic execution of commands
[03:16] <dakine> i am on the verge of instling ubuntu and need to know if/how i can import firefox bookmarks
[03:16] <Patrick_> darkmagez, I am aware of how awesome it is.... it also makes productivity even easier. I got AIGLX working, but it was slowish and alot of people told me that XGL will run much faster
[03:17] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: And obviously the partitioning was before reinstalling windows.
[03:17] <wastrel> !cron
[03:17] <ubotu> cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. There is a decent howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[03:17] <Patrick_> darkmagez, that channel..bah, nobody answers me...
[03:17] <tanlaan> wastrel: ok thankyou
[03:17] <wweasel> dakine: yes, you can import your entire firefox profile
[03:17] <DarkMageZ> Patrick_, yeah, that channel depends on the time of day and stuff.
[03:18] <tanlaan> wastrel: are there any programs that work like crontab except have a gui?
[03:18] <wastrel> tanlaan:  i dunno, i just use cron :] 
[03:18] <dakine> ok tkz, is ther a graphical file manager ( i hate to say it but like windoze explore) so i can see what is in which directories? last question, i promise
[03:19] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: To be honest, I have no clue what caused the change in between the time Ubuntu booted up nicely (after all of that) and now, when it bitches about not having a partition. I am sorry I didn't recount the entire story, and if that wasted any of your time.
[03:19] <Killeroid> dakine: yes
[03:19] <tanlaan> wastrel: haha well are there any help files for cron?
[03:19] <Killeroid> nautilus
[03:19] <wastrel> tanlaan:  man crontab, man cron.  also that link ubotu sent
[03:19] <skavenge> does dvdrip do shrinking as well or do i need to install something else?
[03:19] <Killeroid> dakine: yes,ubuntu has a graphical file manager
[03:20] <dakine> i didnt see it on the live disc
[03:20] <dakine> what is it called
[03:20] <Killeroid> dakine: its called nautilus
[03:20] <Killeroid> !nautilus
[03:20] <ubotu> I know nothing about nautilus

[03:38] <socket7> dgh1973,  I'm trying to use ./idectl 1 rescan to get it to find the drive

[03:41] <dgh1973> socket7: if you power down, insert cdrom and boot up it should automatically create the device for you (i guess it isn't) but ejecting it live is a bad idea in general... hot bays on laptops are treated as ide in most cases I think

[03:42] <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.

[03:43] <dgh1973> I've had no issues with automatix
[03:43] <abc123> sent me to the fucking shitty one ive seen about a million times
[03:43] <abc123> the master hdd
[03:43] <benplaut> have there been alot of questions in here today about problems mounting FAT drives?
[03:43] <iJeff> Does anyone know if there is a version of an IM that can work with Yahoo webcam for linux?
[03:43] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123:  You should see an option for terminal
[03:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Benyes
[03:43] <abc123> yeah i got it
[03:43] <socket7> dgh1973,  Its a fujitsu p5010D.  I'm running ubuntu dapper, and turning the laptop off its not an acceptable solution for me. I'm not switching until I can do everything in linux i can in windows. And windows can hot swap these drives no problem.
[03:43] <abc123> i wrote
[03:43] <dr_willis> iJeff,  may want to do some googling for that.. and try the latest gaim
[03:43] <NightVision> does anyone know if EMBOSS is available  in any of the apt repositories?
[03:43] <Jack_Sparrow> benplaut: yes
[03:43] <abc123> that thing u said
[03:43] <abc123> dint work
[03:43] <iJeff> dr_willis: im on gaim 2.0 beta
[03:43] <abc123> at all
[03:44] <abc123> sent me to my master hdd
[03:44] <benplaut> Jack_Sparrow, i'm thinking rogue update...
[03:44] <abc123> which i dont care about
[03:44] <benplaut> it's pretty f*ed up over here
[03:44] <abc123> as i need to delete viruses from my slave hard driver
[03:44] <abc123> hdd
[03:44] <abc123> hard drive^
[03:44] <eric__> Wonder if I could solicit some help with a Sony Vaio and a USB hard drive.
[03:44] <abc123> which is becoming a chore for this unstable peiece of shit they call an opertating system
[03:44] <socket7> I just need to know why MAKEDEV wont make an /dev/hdc for me :(
[03:45] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123: go to terminal, type sudo nautilus, browse to boot/grub, double click grub.lst you should be able to edit and save it
[03:45] <eric__> Ubuntu installer kept failing so I installed PCLINUX (for now) on the USB drive.  Put LILO on the MBR of the USB  drive...
[03:45] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123: saying it didnt work is NOT helpful, where did it not work
[03:45] <abc123> i typed the sudo nautilus then thats it
[03:45] <abc123> cause i dint think they are supposed to have commas
[03:45] <ShadowLurker> CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?
[03:46] <stpere> ShadowLurker, please don't shout
[03:46] <eric__> ..but the VAIO won't boot off of it.  Can't set the BIOS to look at the USB drive and it's my work machine, so I don't dare mess with the main drive by adding GRUB or LILO to its MBR.
[03:46] <abc123> i done that it sent me to the master hard drive which ive said
[03:46] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123: go back to XP, you two were made for each other if you cant follow SIMPLE instructions
[03:46] <dagrump_> my ears!!!
[03:46] <abc123> i cant go back to xp
[03:46] <eric__> ..so I'm thinking I need to make a boot disk.
[03:46] <skon> hello
[03:46] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123:  did nautilus open
[03:46] <abc123> i need to fix it hence the reason im using shitty linux which doesnt work for humans
[03:46] <eric__> Then I thought maybe I could use my UBUNTU live CD to point to the kernel on the HD I have.
[03:46] <dagrump_> made my i's hurt
[03:46] <eric__> Is there a way to do that?
[03:46] <Killeroid> ShadowLurker: whats your problem?
[03:46] <abc123> dno wat that word mean
[03:47] <abc123> but two icons came up
[03:47] <abc123> desktop
[03:47] <skon> is there a quick way i can check what port a programme is using ( eg synergy )?
[03:47] <abc123> and some other small file
[03:47] <abc123> which dint look too usefull
[03:47] <stpere> skon, ask ;-)
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> abc so you are in nautilus... press the up arrow until you see boot folder
[03:47] <skon> i did but it would not tell me
[03:47] <dgh1973> socket7: did you mean Fujitsu P1510D?
[03:47] <eric__> Maybe someone has a better/slicker solution than this one?
[03:47] <Tom7e> anyone have a link for setting up 5.1 surround sound?
[03:48] <wastrel> skon:  netstat -a | grep synergy    maybe
[03:48] <abc123> no root poped up
[03:48] <abc123> nothing about that funy word
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123:  double click on boot folder then double click on grub folder and double click on menu.lst
[03:48] <ShadowLurker> Killeroid: go to #UbuntuPalace please
[03:48] <abc123> which isnt english
[03:48] <socket7> dgh1973,  no. its a P5010D. Its one of their older ultraportables

[03:50] <abc123> when ur skipping wat im saying
[03:50] <tomlikestorock> wastrel: that's what I was thinking ;)
[03:50] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123:  start from the beginning and step by step
[03:50] <abc123> i dont mean to be an arse hole
[03:50] <HiP_P> abc123 please use the paste bin

[03:51] <tomlikestorock> wastrel: nonetheless, is there any iptables madness I need to be messing with or something? Why would my wire connection not have this problem?
[03:51] <Tom7e> is the sound card configured in xorg.conf or somewhere else?
[03:51] <wastrel> tomlikestorock:  so this is your wireless nic?  is it working with the internet, but not LAN?
[03:51] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123:  do you see a folder named boot
[03:51] <benplaut> Jack_Sparrow, was it one thing messing up for all of them, with a similar sollution? trying to file a bug report
[03:51] <abc123> file:///root/dbootstrap_settings
[03:51] <HiP_P> ah cheers Tom7e
[03:51] <abc123> and that file is the only one i can see along side desktop

[03:51] <bcron> Im wondering if anyone can help me with an odd problem.  I can boot from my cdrom but it's damaged and it stops right after the kernel is loaded.  I have a usb cdrom I can load ubuntu with but I can't boot from it
[03:52] <bcron> can I boot from the floppy to get the usb cdrom working?
[03:52] <Jack_Sparrow> abc close it all down and start over.
[03:52] <abc123> yeah found it alot easier to get it from a diff location
[03:52] <wastrel> tomlikestorock:  first thing to check is whether you're connected to the wireless network you think you're connected to... use iwconfig  and look at the essid.
[03:52] <abc123> as that command prompt wernt working in my favour
[03:52] <Tom7e> HiP_P: cheers?

[04:03] <ubotu> I know nothing about g-string
[04:03] <coucho> i need to know how to decrypt an email sent by launchpad
[04:03] <HiP_P> sorry
[04:03] <dgh1973> abc123: do you know if it's an ide drive?  if so what placement?  (primary master/slave etc)
[04:03] <abc123> jack
[04:03] <nomasteryoda> abc123, download and burn to disk ultimate boot cd
[04:03] <abc123> if there are two
[04:03] <abc123> icons
[04:03] <nomasteryoda> it's free
[04:03] <tomlikestorock> !wearing-womens-underwear
[04:03] <pump> anybody with a pinnacle pctv stereo here?
[04:03] <ubotu> I know nothing about wearing-womens-underwear
[04:03] <abc123> that  means there are two icons
[04:03] <tomlikestorock> Liar!
[04:03] <nomasteryoda> has some excelletn free tools on it abc123
[04:03] <t94xr> www.ultimatebootcd.com
[04:03] <coucho> lol
[04:03] <HiP_P> haha
[04:03] <abc123> not one hiding which will pop up when u press up arrow
[04:03] <nomasteryoda> t94xr, thanks
[04:04] <coucho> does anyone know how i can decrypt that message?
[04:04] <F0LL0W3R> how can i install emaces ?
[04:04] <t94xr> im Google.
[04:04] <skavenge> tons of icons pop up when you hit the up arrow
[04:04] <t94xr> no literally
[04:04] <t94xr> im a url database
[04:04] <skavenge> namely alot of directories
[04:04] <abc123> its a slave ide
[04:04] <wastrel> F0LL0W3R:  sudo aptitude install emacs
[04:04] <dgh1973> abc123: ok, primary or secondary?
[04:04] <coucho> anyone at all?
[04:04] <nomasteryoda> abc123, but it is ntfs right?
[04:04] <tonyyarusso> coucho: You need to use the PGP key you submitted to Launchpad
[04:04] <HiP_P> school?
[04:04] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123:  click on system,administration then disks
[04:04] <F0LL0W3R> wastrel thx alot :)
[04:04] <coucho> tonyyarusso: of course, but what do i use to decrypt?
[04:05] <abc123> wat the top ide is on my 20 gig master and my bottom ide is on my 160 gig slave follow?
[04:05] <abc123> i dont know if thats right
[04:05] <tomlikestorock> how is it possible for there to exist two nics on one computer - both access the internet, but only one accesses internal resources?
[04:05] <tonyyarusso> coucho: What's your e-mail client?  Should give you an option right in there.
[04:05] <nomasteryoda> coucho, you need the gpg key from the keyserver i would guess
[04:05] <abc123> yeah its there now
[04:05] <coucho> uhm i gave a hotmail address
[04:05] <abc123> but i cant do nothing with it
[04:05] <nomasteryoda> coucho, do you have a launchpad account?
[04:05] <coucho> yes
[04:05] <abc123> all the boxes are grey
[04:06] <tanlaan> im trying to set up gmailfs, does anyone know how to mount it?
[04:06] <abc123> and i cant enable it
[04:06] <abc123> (vfat) the file type
[04:06] <nomasteryoda> abc123, if it is windows drive, with windows XP installed it is NTFS - nothing you can do to it without ultimatebootcd
[04:06] <t94xr> anyone know any good tuts on the firewall?
[04:06] <dgh1973> abc123: ok if it's your primary slave ide drive with ntfs filesystem try this in a terminal as root (no quotes) - "mkdir -p /mnt/windows && mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows"
[04:06] <tonyyarusso> coucho: Ah, okay.  You can do it on the command line with gnupg I believe..there's a page on the wiki with instructions.  One sec.
[04:06] <coucho> k
[04:06] <nomasteryoda> dgh1973, but he can'
[04:06] <jme> !firewall
[04:07] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line), firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing) or shorewall (web interface)
[04:07] <nomasteryoda> not write to it if it is ntfs
[04:07] <gnomefreak> wastrel: did you need something?
[04:07] <abc123> cheers dgh1973 quite the clever person
[04:07] <abc123> unlike some
[04:07] <dgh1973> nomasteryoda: ntfs write is stable now
[04:07] <wastrel> gnomefreak:  user was misbehaving but seems to not be a troll, just a jackass
[04:07] <tanlaan> anyone know how to mount the gmailfs?
[04:07] <halitus87> !ntfs
[04:07] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[04:07] <nomasteryoda> dgh1973, er, ok
[04:07] <nomasteryoda> not for my data
[04:07] <dgh1973> abc123: did that work?
[04:07] <coucho> ntfs write stable? nice!
[04:07] <dagrump_> gotasa go nite all
[04:07] <gnomefreak> coucho: no
[04:07] <Jack_Sparrow> coucho NO
[04:07] <abc123> nah
[04:07] <abc123> permision denined
[04:08] <tich> how do you change the theme of root protected applications? when i run synaptic it always reverts to whatever theme it had on install.
[04:08] <nomasteryoda> Jack_Sparrow, gnomefreak thanks
 nomasteryoda: ntfs write is stable now <- what is that then?
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[04:08] <nomasteryoda> unstable it is coucho
[04:08] <coucho> ah
[04:08] <nomasteryoda> very... lose data you will
[04:08] <dr_willis> tich,  root protected? they use roots default theme im guessing.. run the theme tool as root.
[04:08] <coucho> mmk
[04:08] <tanlaan> does anyone know how to mount gmailfs?
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> coucho: Dont believe everything you read..
[04:08] <nomasteryoda> coucho, download the ultimatebootcd
[04:08] <nomasteryoda> you will have tools to do what you need
[04:08] <coucho> why?
[04:08] <dgh1973> abc123: ok... try it like this then "sudo mkdir -p /mnt/windows && mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows"
[04:08] <dr_willis> tanlaan,  check the gmailfs docs/homepage yet?
[04:09] <nomasteryoda> if you want to remove windows spyware, viruses, etc.. you need a windows os
[04:09] <Jack_Sparrow> coucho... Example... Coucho is Gay...
[04:09] <coucho> i can decrypt that message with ultimatebootcd?
[04:09] <dgh1973> abc123: or like this if you want to be paranoid and have read only access  "sudo mkdir -p /mnt/windows && mount -o ro -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows"
[04:09] <tanlaan> dr_willis: yes i just cant get my system to mount...do you know how?
[04:09] <nomasteryoda> lol
[04:09] <abc123> only root can do that
[04:09] <tonyyarusso> coucho: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto#head-b54d61303895f1d048333715a2a372923aad22a8
[04:09] <coucho> thanks
[04:09] <abc123> only root can do that
[04:09] <abc123> only root can do that
[04:09] <abc123> sorry i dno if everything is sending
[04:09] <dr_willis> abc123,  do you mean to say that only root can do that? :P
[04:09] <tanlaan> dr_willis: like i dont understand how to mount anything
[04:10] <gnomefreak> tomlikestorock: are you done abusing the but?
[04:10] <abc123> lol
[04:10] <gnomefreak> s/but/bot
[04:10] <dr_willis> tanlaan,  mount command. :P and lots of options. worth reading/learning about.
[04:10] <skavenge> sudo gives you root privliges, wow
[04:10] <dr_willis> !mount
[04:10] <ubotu> Disks store lots of data. Partitioning: try gparted or qtparted  - Formatting: see the manpage for mkfs  - Mounting: system -> administration -> disks
[04:10] <Jack_Sparrow> tanlaan: DO you want to have drives mounted and on desktop with every boot?
[04:10] <dashriKe> hmm, on your average IDE cable, does it matter which end goes into which piece of hardware?
[04:10] <gnomefreak> abc123: please dont repeat stuff like you are
[04:10] <Jack_Sparrow> dashriKe: dosent matter
[04:10] <dashriKe> k
[04:10] <dgh1973> abc123: just type sudo before the command and type your login password
[04:10] <Jack_Sparrow> dashriKe:  jumper selectable.. most systems
[04:11] <dashriKe> I knew the out-of-hand rule that the lone end goes in the mobo, but I didn't know if that was absolute
[04:11] <HiP_P> hmmmm "No volume control GStraner pluins and/or devices found."
[04:11] <tanlaan> well what i want to do is to have the gmailfs mounted so i can just drag and drop things into it and have it in my gmail account
[04:11] <Jack_Sparrow> ah... diferent problem..
[04:12] <HiP_P> *GStreamer
[04:12] <GullyFoyle> dr_willis: but your mp3s aren't cd quality
[04:12] <GullyFoyle> oops mistell
[04:12] <abc123> it doesnt give me the option to put my pass word in
[04:12] <dr_willis> GullyFoyle,  given the womans choice of music... i dont think it matters. :P
[04:12] <Jack_Sparrow> dgh1973: Enjoy... :)
[04:12] <GullyFoyle> dr_willis: good one
[04:12] <dgh1973> abc123: it won't if you have already run sudo in the past, what 5 minutes or so
[04:12] <dr_willis> plus i cant tell the diff either.
[04:13] <abc123> crazy
[04:13] <abc123> lol
[04:13] <tomlikestorock> what are the programs that entail nic access to network resources?
[04:13] <abc123> k cheers for helping me
[04:13] <Blacko> Anyone mind helping me?  I'm trying to install my network (again >.>)  And It gives me a "driver present" but not a "hardware present" when I do a - sudo ndiswrapper -l
[04:13] <tomlikestorock> iptables, etc?
[04:13] <abc123> did u read the convo with me and jack
[04:13] <abc123> he was blaming his too fast for his own good skim reading on me
[04:13] <dgh1973> abc123: sorry no, too much traffic here
[04:14] <dgh1973> I'd be glad to have a private chat with you and try and walk you through the details
[04:14] <abc123> cool
[04:14] <Jack_Sparrow> dgh1973: good get him the F out of here...
[04:14] <skavenge> thats insane the whole time he had valuable advice you were too impatient to follow
[04:14] <coucho> uhm ok gpg --decrypt says that there's not valid gpg data found
[04:14] <abc123> i love u jack
[04:15] <abc123> i love ur huge brain
[04:15] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123: f off
[04:15] <abc123> that doesnt function properly
[04:15] <tomlikestorock> why was I kicked?
[04:15] <tonyyarusso> Has anyone gotten gmailfs to work successfully lately?  I tried it once and had some trouble.
[04:15] <dgh1973> what IRC client are you using abc123?
[04:15] <ardchoille> I use Ubuntu with the xfce desktop and someone is logged into the computer and has their screensaver running. Is it possible for me to log into VT1 and start the xfce desktop on VT8?
[04:15] <abc123> msn

[04:15] <abc123> lewissymonds@hotmail.com

[04:16] <abc123> jack is probs going to use his small brain and hack me
[04:16] <t94xr> that is so ekard
[04:16] <coucho> i'll ask someone who gives a shite
[04:16] <dgh1973> ok, did you get some kind of pop up conversation window with me saying "hello?"?
[04:16] <HiP_P> not a good idea to put email in a public chat room
[04:16] <abc123> nope
[04:16] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123:  Ask everyone here, you just DONT listen..
[04:16] <abc123> would of clicked it
[04:16] <abc123> no u jump the gun
[04:16] <t94xr> Dear John - CC: the world
[04:16] <abc123> how come im getting along with dgh?
[04:17] <ardchoille> HiP_P: pffft, it's hotmail.. M$ sells those email addresses to spammer anyway
[04:17] <tonyyarusso> ardchoille: Ctrl-Alt-F1 should get you to VT1, not sure what the command would be though, maybe startxfce or some such thing, and then just check the man to specify VT8.
[04:17] <skavenge> no YOU dont listen people could teach monkey's the three commands he was trying to have you do
[04:17] <wastrel> Jack_Sparrow:  leave it alone, he won't.
[04:17] <pete6> Hi I'm having trouble changing my resolution, it's set on 1600x1200 and i'm trying to change to 1280x1024 and set it as default and it doesn't stay after i hit apply
[04:17] <dgh1973> oh well, at least i tried
[04:17] <HiP_P> true
[04:17] <GullyFoyle> dude using msn on freenode deserves all the abuse that he gets
[04:17] <HiP_P> some people just cant be helped
[04:18] <nomasteryoda> lol
[04:18] <wastrel> pete6:  i'd just remove the 1600x1200  from /etc/X11/xorg.conf  (backup the original first)
[04:18] <gnomefreak> guys get back to support
[04:18] <skavenge> that whole ordeal was getting severly old, sheesh
[04:18] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks
[04:18] <pete6> wastrel: alright, give me a second
[04:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Anyone have a question..
[04:18] <tomlikestorock> wastrel: other than iptables and iwconfig, are there any other utilities I should be checking for this issue?
[04:18] <dgh1973> pete6: you can try getting down and dirty with your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[04:18] <HiP_P> yup me
[04:18] <xarq> hmm
[04:18] <wastrel> tomlikestorock:  i dunno - check /etc/network/interfaces  and turn off auto on the interface you're not moving maybe
[04:19] <wastrel> er using
[04:19] <wastrel> s/moving/using/
[04:19] <abc123__> hi im back
[04:19] <dgh1973> tomlikestorock: System>Administration>Networking
[04:20] <HiP_P> cant fix the sound, i keep getting "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found."
[04:20] <dgh1973> tomlikestorock: near the bottom of the window is the "Default Gateway Device" dropdown, that set to your wireless card?
[04:20] <abc123__> dgh is there like a remote asstiance u could do for me?
[04:20] <pete6> wastrel: which 1600x1200? there are multiple entries under subsection "display"
[04:20] <Smeggy> can anyone at all help me as to why my network never starts at boot?
[04:20] <wastrel> pete6:  yeah delete all of them if you don't want to use that resolution
[04:20] <tomlikestorock> dgh1973: if I'm using network-manager, should I be messing with these settings?
[04:21] <tomlikestorock> dgh: they're not going to conflict, are they?
[04:21] <boelloesch> once again: is there an easy way to listen to mp3 at ubuntu?
[04:21] <pete6> wastrel: can i delete all the resolutions i'm not going to use? (dumb question :P )
[04:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !mp3

[04:22] <benplaut> what happened to the neutral entries?!
[04:22] <tomlikestorock> same thing, basically
[04:22] <wastrel> dunno
[04:23] <tomlikestorock> isn't pretty much everything use at my own rish?
[04:23] <tomlikestorock> er, risk?

[04:23] <tomlikestorock> use at my own risk
[04:23] <tomlikestorock> ;)
[04:23] <dgh1973> abc123__: you have AIM or jabber?
[04:23] <abc123__> nah lol
[04:23] <abc123__> yahoo and msn
[04:24] <abc123__> u could use my ip addy
[04:24] <abc123__> to contact me couldnt u?
[04:24] <gnomefreak> dgh1973: and abc123__ join #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:24] <skavenge> it means in here people are not gonna troubleshoot anything involved in the two, hence your own risk .. they both have thier own channels anyway
[04:24] <pete6> wastrel: i am unable to save the xorg.conf in the same location
[04:24] <abc123__> on gnome meeting
[04:24] <dgh1973> Smeggy: auto means dhcp, try this "sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/networking /etc/rc2.d"
[04:24] <dgh1973> gnomefreak: thanks
[04:24] <gnomefreak> dgh1973: yw
[04:24] <wastrel> pete6:  ah yes you need to have superuser priviliges to edit the file.  save it in your homedir and you can copy it over with sudo
[04:25] <benplaut> Seveas, are you awake?
[04:25] <tanlaan> how do you move files in terminal?
[04:25] <xarq> mv
[04:25] <gnomefreak> tanlaan: cp or mv
[04:25] <skavenge> tanlaan: mv
[04:25] <gnomefreak> benplaut: more than likely not
[04:25] <tanlaan> thankyou
[04:25] <benplaut> damn
[04:25] <wastrel> tanlaan:  be careful, mv or cp will silently overwrite existing files.
[04:25] <tanlaan> ok will remember
[04:25] <wastrel> tanlaan:  and there's no undo.   use  -i  to be safe
[04:25] <tanlaan> k
[04:26] <abc123__> DGH1973 say if i give u my ip addy?
[04:26] <benplaut> gnomefreak, whatever happened to the agreement of easyubuntu and automatix haveing the same 'user at your own risk' factoid?
[04:26] <xarq> tanlaan: mv also moves dirs
[04:26] <gnomefreak> tanlaan: good advice use cp to copy file to wher eyou want it if it works than get rid of the org.
[04:26] <gnomefreak> benplaut: they should
[04:26] <pete6> wastrel: what is sudo?
[04:26] <Smeggy> dgh1973, did that.. rebooted.. still doing the same
[04:26] <benplaut> ..they don't
[04:26] <boelloesch> tomlikestorock --- im newbee
[04:26] <gnomefreak> benplaut: i see it give me a few
[04:27] <benplaut> thank you
[04:27] <wastrel> pete6:  sudo gives root privilidges to the command you call with it.
[04:27] <wastrel> !sudo
[04:27] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:27] <abc123__> i wrote sudo still dint work
[04:27] <HiP_P> oh your in the uk abc123
[04:27] <dgh1973> Smeggy: my bad Smeggy, you'll have to do something like "sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/networking /etc/rc2.d/S50networking"
[04:27] <abc123__> yeah
[04:27] <abc123__> is taht a problem?
[04:28] <HiP_P> just saying

[04:31] <gnomefreak> HiP_P: what is?
[04:31] <jme> Is there a guide anywhere to the stuff that the Ubuntu installation does?
[04:31] <gnomefreak> !enter
[04:31] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[04:31] <Tom7e> gnomefreak: thanks
[04:31] <pete6> jramsey, i took out resolutions that i couldn't use from my xorg.conf because i couldn't change the resolution
[04:31] <HiP_P> nevermind
[04:31] <abc123__> aslong as some one tell me hwo to use a wireless lan card
[04:31] <wastrel> pete6:   sudo cp file1 file2   this will move file1 to the location of file2.   for example  sudo cp xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:31] <abc123__> as im using a wired pci port now
[04:31] <abc123__> ne one kniow?
[04:31] <dgh1973> jme: yeah, it's called dpkg -l
[04:31] <jme> For instance, like what it does when it sets up my grub configuration, and how I can re-run that?
[04:32] <varsendaggr> xgl is the coolest thing ever!!!!
[04:32] <dgh1973> varsendaggr: yeah, wish it worked with nvidia glx though
[04:32] <dashriKe> I wonder if my RAM is hotswappable
[04:33] <skavenge> ...
[04:33] <abc123__> sorry i use the enter key loads when im using msn messenger, its become a major habbit as ive been using it for the last 3 years lol
[04:33] <dgh1973> dashriKe: I'll bet your CPU is
[04:33] <Jack_Sparrow> dgh1973:  but he needs to be really fast
[04:33] <abc123__> is ne one good at networking in here?
[04:34] <jramsey> abc123__, ask ur question
[04:34] <dgh1973> I can hold my own
[04:34] <abc123__> im using a wired pci ethernet card at the moment... but my drivers are working now unbelievable which wasnt working on XP, but im still using the wired port so does ne one know how to use the wireless one instead?
[04:35] <pete6> if i want to use sudo to copy a file from my desktop, would i just put desktop/xorg.conf ?
[04:35] <pete6> because i can't write into my home folder
[04:35] <varsendaggr> dgh1973, how do you mean?
[04:35] <dgh1973> abc123__: yeah, in gnome go to System panel at top then Administration then Networking
[04:35] <jramsey> abc123__, you mean you're still wired/cabled to the enet port on your wireless router/base station??
[04:35] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6: would you like another way?
[04:36] <pete6> jack_sparrow if there is a another way, yes :)

[04:51] <nomasteryoda> ubotu, that stinks!!
[04:51] <gnomefreak> TanteMartha: why do you plan on doing something you shouldnt?
[04:51] <ubotu> I know nothing about that stinks!!
[04:52] <lonegeek> I edit my xorg.conf file   ctrl alt backspace  and the file is still the same... i did this all as root
[04:52] <Jack_Sparrow> lonegeek:  Wuld you like another way?
[04:52] <Frederick> gnomefreak, I think it isnt present
[04:52] <lonegeek> Jack_Sparrow: sure?
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> follow my instructions for pete6
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6: click on applications,accessories and go into a terminal
[04:53] <gnomefreak> if it is there (im not sure) but it would be under multiverse repo
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  from there type sudo nautilus and you should see root file manager at the top of the new window
[04:53] <Frederick> I have it enabled
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6: from there click the up arrow until it turns grey
[04:53] <TanteMartha> gnomefreak - tere is something wrong
[04:53] <gnomefreak> Jack_Sparrow: use gksudo please
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> pete double click etc double click X11
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[04:54] <gnomefreak> TanteMartha: what might that be?
[04:54] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: shouldn't it be gksudo nautilus --no-desktop ?
[04:54] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[04:54] <Frederick> folks why is eclipse SO slow on my machine in ubuntu? it was fine in gentoo and is fine with windows
[04:54] <lonegeek> Jack_Sparrow: im doing sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and pasting data in...
[04:55] <lonegeek> and that doesnt work.....
[04:55] <s1gnal> Im running Ubuntu 6.06 64-bit and I have samba-common and smbclient installed, I tried to execute /etc/init.d/samba restart and it does not exist?
[04:55] <lonegeek> Why should i used gksudo instead of sudo ...i dont understand the difference
[04:56] <Jack_Sparrow> lonegeek: what if you double click your xorg.conf
[04:56] <gnomefreak> lonegeek: gksudo is used for gui/gtk apps
[04:56] <lonegeek> from nautalis....?
[04:56] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[04:56] <TanteMartha> gnomefreak --- i c - you are kinda elephant - never forgets!
[04:56] <TanteMartha> lol
[04:56] <gnomefreak> lonegeek: using sudo for gui apps is not a good idea it can mess up permissions
[04:56] <lonegeek> well i dont know how to do that as root...well i see how you did it....
[04:57] <Frederick> does anyone here uss netbeans?
[04:57] <lonegeek> I will try gksudo on xorg.conf
[04:57] <Jack_Sparrow> lonegeek:  from term gksudo nautilus
[04:57] <Jack_Sparrow> lonegeek:  click on up arrow until it turns grey
[04:58] <pete6> if i am getting choppy display on my monitor, does that mean my onboard video is not sufficient or something is wrong with my display setup?
[04:59] <Jack_Sparrow> ardchoille: No idea what he edited in that file.. :)
[04:59] <jighead> I keep getting segfaults on the postinstall process for libgtk2.0-bin and it's driving me nuts, I just can't get this package fixed
[04:59] <jighead> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16979
[04:59] <lonegeek> ardchoille: im pasting backup...well previous xorg.conf file from when it worked correctly
[04:59] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6: system dosent support your selection
[04:59] <sybariten> ok, i have a /mnt dir with a couple of prepared mount points for different harddrives ... i've added a new one now, and i can not write to it as a user. The dirs under /mnt are owned by root. is this generally a problem ?
[04:59] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: doesn't matter, nautilus manages the desktop and typing gksudo nautilus will have root nautilus taking over his user desktop. He needs to type: gksudo nautilus --no-desktop
[05:00] <sybariten> or do i need to add some options to the mount command? lets just forget about fstabs and so for the moment, wanna do it by hand first
[05:00] <pete6> Jack_Sparrow, which selection? is 1280x1024 not supported?
[05:00] <Jack_Sparrow> ardchoille:  we have had this discussion...  yes gksudo is correct
[05:00] <lonegeek> brb...... ctrl alt backspace will use new xorg.conf file..? or should i reboot?
[05:00] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: I am talking about the "--no-desktop" option to nautilus
[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[05:02] <salah> can I get the window titles to be transparent?
[05:02] <nomasteryoda> sure... i used some crystal theme
[05:02] <HiP_P> no cant for the life of me work this one out "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found."
[05:02] <nomasteryoda> hmmm, what was it called
[05:03] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6: go to your backup and re-edit it
[05:03] <pete6> i am
[05:04] <Frederick> is netbeans avaliable in ubuntu?
[05:04] <Tmob> anyone using ubuntu on their laptop?
[05:04] <Jack_Sparrow> ard, that --no-desktop option gives me an error
[05:04] <HiP_P> all the cards are listed when cat /proc/asound/cards
[05:04] <pete6> what is the highest support resolution? 1024x768?
[05:04] <Tmob> my suspend/resume doesn't resume the X properly
[05:04] <Tmob> seems to hang up
[05:04] <Tmob> anyone know how to fix hits?
[05:04] <Tmob> this*
[05:04] <tonyyarusso> Tmob: Thinkpad T43
[05:04] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6: I dont know what your hardware will support
[05:04] <sybariten> should i be able to just do "sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/harddisk" with an ext3 partition, and be able to use it ?
[05:04] <jme> Lnux supports any ol' resolution
[05:05] <salah> nomasteryoda, any ideas how?
[05:05] <pete6> oh i thought you meant supported by ubuntu, my monitor supports up to 1280x1024, but it's still choppy
[05:05] <HiP_P> any clues anyone?
[05:05] <wastrel> pete6:  maybe use a lower color depth
[05:05] <Tmob> tonyyarusso, i'm on Dell D410
[05:05] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6 then you nned to back it down..
[05:05] <Tmob> tonyyarusso, intel 915 chipset
[05:06] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: the error you get is because you used gksudo
[05:06] <LTjake> i'm trying to get VMware in fullscreen mode and i'm getting this message: "Unable to find an appropriate host video mode." anyone seen that before?
[05:06] <Jack_Sparrow> I just cut and pasted what was suggested..
[05:06] <lonegeek> Hey......file isnt saving....or what............is it because im selecting previous kernal...because when i installed kde...idk but its all messed up now
[05:07] <pete6> wastrel: how do i change the color depth?
[05:07] <steve__> Does anyone know, off-hand, what config file I can use to set the screensaver from the command line? (gnome-screensaver) The preview of the currently-selected screensaver in the prefs dialog freezes this machine.
[05:07] <tanlaan> i have a shell script that doesnt want to be executed on startup, how can i make it?
[05:08] <Frederick> tanlaan, does it have the right permissions?
[05:08] <tanlaan> it should
[05:08] <tanlaan> its just that normally you have to cd to the files folder
[05:08] <__mikem> HEy, I know this is a little off topic, but I was wondering, if I can ping a domain name but when I try to access the website I get timeout errors, and the site is typically a low traffic website, would it be safe to assume that a DOS attack might be afoot?
[05:08] <Frederick> tanlaan, does it HAVE or should have?
[05:08] <tanlaan> then execute it with ./Startmux
[05:08] <wastrel> pete6:  it might be useful to find the monitor specs , hsync vsync resolution and color depth, in the manufacturers documentation or a hardware database.
[05:08] <wastrel> pete6:  you can comment out depth settings in your xorg.conf
[05:09] <lonegeek> I did "install" kubuntu-desktop... can i remove all packages it installed?
[05:09] <__mikem> lonegeek, for what ever reason when I try that, it insists on removing the whole thing
[05:09] <Alethes> How do I fix the ".mp3 is not a supported filetype." error in amarok when trying to update id3 tags from musicbrainz?
[05:10] <lonegeek> _mikem: ? when  i do it ...it only removes kubuntu-desktop itself which is 40kb.....but all the packages where...140 mb....
[05:10] <tanlaan> what permissions does it need??
[05:10] <__mikem> lonegeek, thats weird, I have never had any luck with it in any event
[05:10] <Frederick> tanlaan, maybe 755 not sure about what do you want to do
[05:10] <milla> hey

[05:13] <Jack_Sparrow> milla:  go to the links above
[05:13] <pete6> wastrel: after i editted the color depths in the xorg.conf i can't get past the log in screen :/
[05:13] <milla> i also read that page
[05:13] <milla> im kinda new at this
[05:13] <skavenge> if you want mp3 playback the restricted formats page is what you want
[05:13] <milla> im switching form windows and i need some help
[05:13] <wastrel> pete6:  what did you do?
[05:13] <lonegeek> How can i completely remove "kubuntu-desktop"  ?
[05:13] <milla> i dont understand the restricted format page
[05:14] <pete6> i took out the 24 and 16 color depths
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  what depth did you leave in?
[05:14] <pete6> 8
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> 8 x 1024x768..
[05:14] <malv> anyone know if there is a substantial slowdown when using LVM?
[05:14] <milla> tells me to install k3b-mad and stuff and i dont know where to get them
[05:15] <milla> i want mp3 playback
[05:15] <pete6> yes that is what i tried to run Jack_Sparrow
[05:15] <milla> please, help me.... 8(
[05:15] <milla> ?
[05:15] <milla> haha
[05:15] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  I dont think anything supports that
[05:15] <skavenge> milla; are you running gnome or kde?
[05:15] <milla> gnome
[05:16] <Jack_Sparrow> milla: you need to read that again.. it is exactly what you need
[05:16] <milla> but... yeah i,ve read it, i dnt understand
[05:16] <Jack_Sparrow> ardchoille: are you here..?
[05:16] <skavenge> milla open a terminal and type 'sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly'
[05:16] <milla> im new at linux thing
[05:16] <pete6> Jack_Sparrow, how do can i fix the damage i've done? :((((
[05:16] <skavenge> without the 's
[05:16] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: yes
[05:17] <Jack_Sparrow> ardchoille: What is the best way to get root nautilus, gksudo nautilus --no-desktop dosent work
[05:17] <Jack_Sparrow> ardchoille: Would just like to try to unify what we tell people..
[05:17] <milla> it says it couldnt find the package gstreamer0.10
[05:18] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: I have been using sudo nautilus --no-desktop --browser for over a year without any problems. gksudo seems to not allow you to use a command followed by switches.
[05:18] <Jack_Sparrow> mnilla did you enable the other repos
[05:18] <tanlaan> anyone know how to get a shell script to run on startup? ive tried to use the session program, and put the script as a command to be executed. but that didnt work
[05:18] <skavenge> milla; did you put the -plugins-ugly on there too?
[05:18] <milla> yeah
[05:18] <tanlaan> anyone know how to get a shell script to run on startup? ive tried to use the session program, and put the script as a command to be executed. but that didnt work
[05:18] <Jack_Sparrow> ardchoille:   agreed...
[05:18] <skavenge> milla; do you have universe and multiverse enabled in the repositories?
[05:19] <milla> ? i dont know....

[05:29] <noclip> Hi, everyone! Can anyone help me get my USB wireless adapter to work? Here is what I've done so far: http://pastebin.ca/76772 (Thanks in advance!)

[05:30] <KooL> right now im booting from my cd drive
[05:30] <KooL> and i cant seem to access my hdd
[05:30] <Jack_Sparrow> KooL: your XP files
[05:30] <Jack_Sparrow> ah
[05:30] <KooL> what happens is, i go through the boot screen of my mobo
[05:30] <KooL> the splash
[05:31] <KooL> and then it asks to start windows normally
[05:31] <KooL> and it reboots
[05:31] <Jack_Sparrow> KooL: have you tried system , admin , disks..
[05:31] <KooL> i was tweaking my cpu earlier, do you think a cmos restart would work?
[05:31] <HiP_P> right iam off to bed ill ask in here tomorrow about the card problem
[05:31] <milla> i cant find anything that sez universe or multiverse
[05:31] <Jack_Sparrow> KooL:  I would set it back to default before getting to far into this
[05:32] <KooL> jack, i went through admin
[05:32] <KooL> and it says
[05:32] <KooL> you do not have permission
[05:32] <milla> jack?
[05:33] <milla> i cant find anything that sez universe or multiverse
[05:33] <Jack_Sparrow> kool1 when did it say that... did disk manager open
[05:33] <skavenge> milla; there are a bunch that have a line in the description that says 'community maintained: (universe)' and (multiverse), you need to check those
[05:33] <KooL> yeah
[05:33] <milla> yeah
[05:33] <KooL> disks manager opens and i see my hard drives
[05:33] <KooL> when i try to go to browse
[05:33] <KooL> it doesnt work
[05:33] <Jack_Sparrow> KooL: and click on partitions
[05:33] <milla> i went thu search and chosen to search in the description field
[05:33] <milla> nothing saz universe or multiverse
[05:33] <Fatal`> damnit, jack
[05:33] <Fatal`> you're here all day?
[05:33] <_joe> tanlaan: wiki.ubuntu.com
[05:34] <Jeffe> can anyone help me with a rhythmbox smb issue?  If so PM me please
[05:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Yea, mother in law in hospital, trying to keep my mind busy
[05:34] <PMantis> Can anyone tell me if LVM needs MD ?
[05:34] <Fatal`> hehe, i bitched out on ubuntu for a while
[05:34] <Jack_Sparrow> fata, glad to see you and sorry for off topic
[05:34] <tanlaan> _joe: it says nothing about scripts :(
[05:34] <Fatal`> there's got to be a reason for my random freezing
[05:34] <Fatal`> that's the only thing turning me off from ubuntu
[05:34] <skavenge> milla; this is under 'settings', and 'repositories', not in the package manager itself
[05:34] <Fatal`> that, and the extra buttons on the mice dont work!
[05:35] <Fatal`> tis a bitch for browsing
[05:35] <Fatal`> :P
[05:35] <tanlaan> _joe: and it says that if you dont find what your adding in your menues that you shouldnt add it
[05:35] <_joe> tanlaan: ah
[05:35] <KooL> jack
[05:35] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[05:35] <_joe> tanlaan: well, i'm kinda new to ubuntu myself, so i don't know what else to tell you
[05:35] <KooL> i can change the access path
[05:35] <KooL> i think
[05:35] <skavenge> milla; above the search button theres 'Help', and next to that 'Settings' thats what you want
[05:35] <KooL> would that be the problem?
[05:35] <tanlaan> _joe: ok ill ask other ppl :D
[05:35] <KooL> when i click on that, i can see my folders
[05:35] <Jack_Sparrow> KooL:  are you in partitions
[05:35] <KooL> yeah
[05:36] <KooL> it says partion 1
[05:36] <tanlaan> hey does anyone know if scripts are aloud to be put into sessionstartup?
[05:36] <rpedro> Fatal`: you using binary drivers for your gfx card?
[05:36] <Jack_Sparrow> KooL:  find the partition with the files you are trying to save...
[05:36] <pete6> i'm still getting a wipe effect on my monitor, is my onboard video not enough or are some settings not optimized?
[05:36] <KooL> well theres only one right now
[05:37] <Gareth1> hm, has anyone been getting a "error: C compiler cannot create executables" when trying to compile the latest wine source (with build essential and build-dep for wine installed)?
[05:37] <Jack_Sparrow> kool click on it and click on accessible
[05:37] <Gareth1> that is, for amd64
[05:37] <rpedro> Fatal`: I had a few freezes before because of the ati binary drivers, added an option to xorg.conf , now it works fine
[05:37] <Nameeater> Verithrax, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_restore_GRUB_menu_after_Windows_installation
[05:37] <KooL> status says accessible
[05:37] <Jack_Sparrow> KooL:  you should now be able to read it
[05:37] <tanlaan> hey does anyone know if scripts are aloud to be put into sessionstartup?
[05:38] <milla> yeah
[05:38] <milla> jow i have multiverse and universe
[05:38] <Nameeater> Verithrax: you will probably need to have a partition already setup for windows to use
[05:38] <milla> its downloading r8 now
[05:38] <KooL> still doesnt work
[05:38] <Verithrax> I do, in fact.
[05:38] <KooL> =(
[05:38] <milla> 8)
[05:38] <KooL> it was accessible by default
[05:38] <skavenge> milla; so you found the plugin then? gstreamer ugly?
[05:38] <Verithrax> Windows just killed itself for no reason once I installed Linux on this box.
[05:39] <Gareth1> lack of self confidence, probably
[05:39] <milla> i have gstreamer0.8-lame
[05:39] <agamotto> Verithrax:  Most of us could come up with a nasty and funny comment on that one...
[05:39] <milla> i have gstreamer0.8-mad
[05:39] <Verithrax> Yes, Windows is probably the first OS that can be described as 'emo'.
[05:39] <skavenge> milla; are you on dapper 6.06 or breezy 5.10?
[05:39] <milla> breezy 5.10
[05:39] <Nameeater> Verithrax: is it still there on the harddrive?
[05:39] <agamotto> Verithrax:  However, since this is a help channel, go to the wiki.ubuntu.com, and search for 'restoring windows mbr'
[05:40] <tanlaan> does anyone know if scripts are aloud to be put into sessionstartup?
[05:40] <agamotto> That is usually the problem
[05:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Verithrax: do you want to fix your XP?
[05:40] <milla> the next week ill have drapper
[05:40] <pete6> i'm still getting a wipe effect on my monitor, is my onboard video not enough or are some settings not optimized?
[05:40] <Verithrax> ANYWAY, I'm off to actually do it. Wish me luck. Or say I'm betraying the movement, whatever floats your boat.
[05:40] <milla> it's downloading on the other pc right now
[05:40] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  keep after it..
[05:40] <milla> so slow, man, you wouldnt imagine
[05:40] <skavenge> milla; you need gstreamer0.8-mad in breezy, search for that one
[05:40] <milla> i have gstreamer0.8-mad
[05:40] <pete6> the refresh rate, resolution, and color depths are all at what my hardware supports, what other settings are there Jack_Sparrow?
[05:40] <MOWVI> windows will be fine, it's Genuine Disadvantage calls Microsoft daily
[05:41] <_joe> milla: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[05:41] <milla> 5.10
[05:41] <skavenge> milla; that should be all you need for mp3 playback
[05:41] <milla> ok
[05:41] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  I would start very low and work up
[05:41] <milla> let's see if it works
[05:41] <_joe> milla: ah. if you gstreamer0.8-mad it should work
[05:41] <tanlaan> does anyone know if scripts are aloud to be put into sessionstartup?
[05:41] <MOWVI> mad by itself doesn't work, you need the whole thing
[05:42] <milla> it doesnt
[05:42] <skavenge> according to the wiki thats all you need
[05:42] <milla> im using totem movie player and
[05:42] <Diablita> Hola, Estoy En Busca De Nuevos Amigos . . .
[05:42] <MOWVI> the weaki is wrong
[05:42] <milla> and it doesnt work
[05:42] <milla> diablita, anda al mercado a buscar amigos....
[05:42] <MOWVI> milla: search at packages.ubuntu.com for mp3, and get something called, I forget
[05:42] <skavenge> MOWVI: do you know what is needed offhand? trying to get mp3 playback for milla ...
[05:42] <pete6> Jack_Sparrow, i just worked my way up from 640x480 with resolution, and i doubt that color depth would cause a wiping effect, what do i change to edit the refresh rate in xorg.conf ?
[05:42] <Jack_Sparrow> skavenge:  wasnt there one more step not in the reps
[05:43] <agamotto> Diablita:  En Ingles, por favor o mueve #ubuntu_es
[05:43] <milla> hola diablita
[05:43] <Vaske_Car> Is there any tutorial how to install Ubuntu from the internet? I have Laptop that does not have CD drive...
[05:43] <Vaske_Car> It has Floppy
[05:43] <skavenge> Jack_Sparrow: not on the restricted formats page, no, says just install gstreamer0.8-mad for playback
[05:43] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  do you have your backup xorg handy.. start with that
[05:43] <Jack_Sparrow> !restricted
[05:43] <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
[05:43] <milla> i have installed gstreamer0.8-mad and still no mp3 playback
[05:43] <tanlaan> does anyone know if scripts are aloud to be put into sessionstartup?
[05:44] <_joe> milla: what software are you using for mp3 playback?
[05:44] <milla> totem
[05:44] <_joe> milla: ah. have you tried rhythmbox?
[05:44] <_joe> milla: just to test
[05:44] <Jack_Sparrow> skavenge:  w32codecs
[05:44] <agamotto> milla:  I think you still need the w32codecs
[05:44] <skavenge> aha!
[05:44] <_joe> incorrect
[05:44] <_joe> i had mp3 playback just fine on 5.10 without w32codecs
[05:44] <agamotto> joe:  Really, cool?
[05:44] <_joe> yeppers :)
[05:44] <liam> hey, what file do fonts go in?
[05:44] <Jack_Sparrow> joe.. most need it
[05:45] <_joe> Jack_Sparrow: interesting. what do you mean by "most". most files or most people?
[05:45] <Jack_Sparrow> liam~./fonts
[05:45] <liam> thanks
[05:45] <tanlaan> does anyone know if scripts are aloud to be put into sessionstartup?
[05:45] <skavenge> milla; paste these lines in terminal: wget -c http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[05:45] <Jack_Sparrow> joe.. most systems/users need w32codcs to run mp3
[05:45] <MOWVI> nevermind, the package for mp3 I found is only for 6.06
[05:45] <skavenge> milla; then run : sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[05:45] <skavenge>     *
[05:45] <_joe> Jack_Sparrow: so some systems, like mine, are just freak accidents that somehow don't?
[05:46] <Jack_Sparrow> _joe:  consider yourself lucky
[05:46] <JethroDawnfine> talking about mp3 playback, is it a big deal to exchange Rhythmbox for Amarok when you're using Gnome? I really prefer Amarok, but it would install lots of KDE stuff on my computer... does it worth?
[05:46] <_joe> Jack_Sparrow: hehe
[05:46] <agamotto> I found Totem to be useless
[05:46] <feross> hey I need to change the default keymap. I use dvorak so on install I chose dvorak but the login window is now dvorak. I need to change it so that the default is qwerty. tried dpkg-reconfigure console-data but that didn't help. Looked around for a howto but no use. THe login window options changed it but then it goes back to dvorak after a reboot.
[05:46] <MOWVI> mp3 playback package that works: gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
[05:46] <ic56> tanlaan: in unix systems, scripts can go anywhere binaries go.  So the answer is yes.
[05:46] <skavenge> MOW; breezy doesnt use 0.10
[05:47] <MOWVI> I know, but I'm just saying, for some reason mp3 playback is failing on the mad package, even on dapper
[05:47] <tanlaan> well then i have no idea why its not working
[05:47] <milla> paste these lines in terminal: wget -c http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[05:47] <milla> yeah
[05:47] <milla> i have pasted it on terminal
[05:47] <MOWVI> try automatrix milla
[05:47] <skavenge> MOWVI: dapper doesnt use mad it uses gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
[05:47] <milla> it gives me an error
[05:47] <skavenge> milla; what error
[05:47] <Jack_Sparrow> !automatix
[05:47] <ubotu> Automatix is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[05:47] <milla> 404 you know what it means haha
[05:48] <MOWVI> yeah, that, it doesn't work skavenge
[05:48] <milla> http error 404
[05:48] <skavenge> MOWVI: im running dapper thats how i got my mp3 playback, with the ugly package
[05:48] <Jack_Sparrow> skavenge: why not have her follow the wiki
[05:48] <MOWVI> that's what I did when I was using 5.10, automatrix for everything, had no serious problems, stuff just worked, as it should
[05:48] <skavenge> Jack_Sparrow: she says the w32codecs site is giving her a 404 ..
[05:48] <MOWVI> skavenge: it didn't work for me for some reason
[05:48] <ic56> tanlaan: where exactly are you putting the script?
[05:49] <milla> ?
[05:49] <milla> 404 it means not found
[05:49] <MOWVI> they say automatrix has flaws, but as big of a flaw as packages that should work don't work?
[05:49] <milla> im so sad....
[05:49] <_joe> milla: have you tried rhythmbox?
[05:49] <tanlaan> ok its a script to run a program i have, like i have to cd to the folder to run it *in terminal*
[05:49] <milla> and sleepy
[05:49] <milla> yeah
[05:49] <milla> it doesnt work wither
[05:49] <milla> either
[05:49] <_joe> it doesn't work? what error do you get?
[05:49] <tanlaan> and in session i just go to sessionstartup and add that script to startup
[05:50] <skavenge> milla; i havent used it but suspposedly automatix will install all that for you .. i dont know what to say if the site for w32codecs is down
[05:50] <ic56> tanlaan: in terminal, there is no need to cd to the script's location.
[05:50] <milla> it says this file is not an audio stram
[05:50] <ic56> tanlaan: I'm not a GUI person, I cannot answer that part of your question.
[05:50] <skavenge> milla; try that paste again anyhow the site isnt down i just checked
[05:51] <Jack_Sparrow> milla:  you are doing those lines one at a time right?
[05:51] <tanlaan> what do you mean there is no reason?
[05:51] <_joe> milla: that is strange. you are quite positive you have "gstreamer0.8-mad" installed?
[05:51] <tanlaan> how am i supposed to run the script if im not in its location?
[05:51] <milla> yeah
[05:51] <milla> should i reboot
[05:51] <_joe> milla: no, no need to reboot
[05:51] <milla> ive updated my kernel too
[05:51] <ic56> tanlaan: by specifying its location on the command line.
[05:51] <ic56> tanlaan.  Give me the specifics and I'll give you an example.
[05:52] <milla> i dont wanna drink again in my life
[05:52] <skavenge> milla; you still may need w32codecs, and that wget command i pasted is the way to get it, the site is up i didnt get a 404
[05:52] <_joe> milla: you restarted your audio player program after you installed gstreamer0.8-mad?
[05:52] <milla> it gave me ubuntu
[05:52] <noi5emaker> Q: i have a dual boot Powerbook ,(OSX and Dapper) but after upgrading , i cant get to Dapper. What happened to yaboot????
[05:52] <milla> wait for me
[05:52] <milla> im going to reboot the machine
[05:52] <milla> and grab a glass of vodka
[05:52] <tanlaan> how would i type it?
[05:52] <_joe> milla: there's no need to reboot, but do so if you like :)
[05:52] <ic56> tanlaan:  Give me the specifics and I'll give you an example.
[05:52] <tanlaan> ok
[05:52] <_joe> heh, vodka. i actually had a shot of the stuff about 20 minutes ago
[05:53] <tanlaan> /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game
[05:53] <tanlaan> game is the folder that Startmux is located
[05:53] <dagrump_> like a bad penny, im back!
[05:53] <wastrel> i'm going to set up my printer
[05:53] <icebreeze> hmmmm for some reason when i go to run glxgears my system hardlocks
[05:54] <ic56> tanlaan: what is your current directory in the Terminal?  Use "pwd" to find out.
[05:54] <tanlaan> /home/tanlaan
[05:55] <ic56> tanlaan: ok.  You can execute the script in the following equivalent alternate ways (pick whichever is least typing):  /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game/Startmux
[05:55] <ic56> tanlaan: ~/mux2.4/game
[05:55] <icebreeze> can someone help me figure out why exactly my system hardlocks when i try to run glxgears? I have a savage video card.   I've looked on the forums and i can't seem to find anything similar to my problem.  this is a fresh install.

[05:55] <MOWVI> some awesome person really needs to make and host a package that will call up all multimedia packages
[05:56] <Jack_Sparrow>   ~  tilde is to the left of the number one
[05:56] <ic56> tanlaan: oops, that should have been: ~/mux2.4/game/Startmux
[05:56] <MOWVI> I mean at least, better yet would be to include it on the disk, but that's not happening
[05:56] <ic56> tanlaan: mux2.4/game/Startmux
[05:56] <ic56> tanlaan: bash mux2.4/game/Startmux
[05:56] <Jack_Sparrow> MOWVI:  you run into the gnu problem
[05:56] <tanlaan> its not working
[05:56] <ic56> tanlaan: that covers the general possibilities.  You can try permutations thereof too
[05:56] <noi5emaker> nalioth: hey. i have a question for you. How can i fix a broken yaboot, when i dont get a menu at login?
[05:57] <skavenge> a whole other deal is having people enabling repos .. i wish we could have them all on out of the box but thats not going to happen either
[05:57] <ic56> tanlaan: define "not working".  What is the error message?
[05:57] <Jack_Sparrow> noi sorry not many Mac people around
[05:57] <wastrel> it isn't difficult to enable a repository
[05:57] <tanlaan> i tried it in multiple ways and it said no such file or directory
[05:57] <skavenge> wastrel: to brand new users it can be challenging
[05:58] <skavenge> the problem is the wiki and that say 'for mp3 do this', well thats all well and good but you need the repos on first, alot of people miss that step i think
[05:58] <Jack_Sparrow> skavenge: and it gives up a purpose in life
[05:58] <pete6> Jack_Sparrow, do you know what i mean by a wiping effect? like how if i open or move a window it wipes from top to bottom
[05:58] <MOWVI> Jack_Sparrow: other distros already do this
[05:58] <skavenge> Jack_Sparrow: hah
[05:58] <ic56> tanlaan: either you are mistyping the name, or you are incorrect about the names of the script.
[05:58] <tanlaan> /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game
[05:58] <tanlaan> thats the directory im in
[05:58] <tanlaan> like
[05:58] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  yes I know the wiping effect
[05:58] <tanlaan> to start the script normally
[05:59] <MOWVI> although in truth it would be best for ubuntu to remain "clean" from pesterings, so it's better the way it is
[05:59] <noi5emaker> nalioth: Its ok, its me...nicholaspaul:)
[05:59] <pete6> is it possible that my onboard video isn't enough or is incompatible with ubuntu?
[05:59] <ic56> tanlaan: and the name of the script?  Try: "ls mux2.f/game"  Is Startmux in there?
[05:59] <ic56> tanlaan: and the name of the script?  Ooops -->Try: "ls mux2.4/game"  Is Startmux in there?
[05:59] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  It was running some resolutions that worked correct?
[06:00] <pete6> yes
[06:00] <adam-tropics_> Anyone have the cpu frequency applet working on a celeron M ? It works but left click opions gone!
[06:00] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  So restore your backup xorg...
[06:00] <paramanu> hi
[06:00] <tanlaan> ok..
[06:01] <pete6> i did, i changed everything back to default to work with it tomorrow, but still have the wiping effect (like at the beginning)
[06:01] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6: sorry if I am distracted.. I have been here about 16 hours..
[06:01] <tanlaan> /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game the directory i just cd-ed to
[06:01] <tanlaan> Startmux is in it
[06:01] <pete6> it's totally alright, some help is better than no help :)
[06:01] <noi5emaker> anyone know what partition yaboot is likely to be on??
[06:01] <paramanu> i have trouble with sound in xine and mplayer and my totem crashing after installing bad and ugly pluggins
[06:02] <tanlaan> if i cd to / and type /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game/Startmux it should work shouldnt it?
[06:02] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  lets work on it when fresh tomorrow
[06:02] <paramanu> can somebody help!
[06:02] <pete6> Jack_Sparrow, alright, i'll be here in the morning, thank you so much
[06:02] <ic56> tanlaan: try ls -lb  Are there any wierd characters in the filename?
[06:02] <jfields> hello all
[06:02] <lufis> :-[
[06:02] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  you are welcome.. goodnight
[06:03] <lufis> can someone explain restricted modules to me?
[06:03] <tanlaan> no
[06:03] <ic56> tanlaan: yes that should work too but not any differently than any of the other methods I gave you.  If they didn't work, this won't either.
[06:03] <Jack_Sparrow> lufis:  things you need to play copyrighted formats
[06:03] <lufis> Jack_Sparrow: In the kernel?
[06:03] <ic56> tanlaan: paste the one line of ouptut for that file in channel here for me to see.
[06:03] <Jack_Sparrow> !restricted
[06:03] <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
[06:03] <tomlobato> Hello! is there some trick to get ubuntu accessing DVD like HDs, using DVD-RAM feature?
[06:04] <cwillu> how do I configure proxy_http to only allow access to a particular domain (not a reverse proxy though, clients will be treating it as their regular proxy)
[06:04] <Jack_Sparrow> lufis: read up there then ask questions
[06:04] <tanlaan> blah
[06:04] <tanlaan> forget this
[06:04] <tanlaan> i give up
[06:04] <tanlaan> lol
[06:04] <cwillu> oops, definately the wrong channel
[06:04] <ic56> tanlaan: ok
[06:04] <tanlaan> bye
[06:04] <lufis> I'm not asking about multimedia, I know what restricted formats are
[06:04] <Jack_Sparrow> lufis: one and the same
[06:04] <lufis> I'm talking about restricted modules which are installed with the kernel
[06:05] <Jack_Sparrow> lufis:  better questions make for better answers
[06:05] <lufis> Jack_Sparrow: How fucking clear could I possibly get?
[06:07] <tomlobato> Can ubuntu use DVD-RAM feature??
[06:07] <tomlobato> How?
[06:07] <icebreeze> sight i feel so much like a noob again not being able to get this savage card to work with opengl without hardlocking my system.  I've ran gentoo for so long and now a distro that is supposed to set everything up for you is giving me problems lol.....
[06:07] <icebreeze> *sigh
[06:07] <tomlobato> cause Im trying without success
[06:08] <user1> hey channel
[06:08] <cwillu> hey user1
[06:09] <user1> I am tring to instal a kernel from the linux wacom project
[06:09] <tanlaan> i figured out what was wrong with my shell script!
[06:10] <user1> were would I find the patches to make it a Ubuntu kernel
[06:10] <ic56> tanlaan: yes? share!
[06:10] <csk> hi all. i am trying to get my partitions to mount in ubuntu. i got my windows partition to mount, but i have another partion (vfat) that states "unable to mount the selected volume". i went to /etc/fstab and added "/dev/hda5 /media/Share vfat unmask=0000 0 0 " after creating the share folder. its still the same. can anyone please help
[06:10] <MOWVI> in the repositories, what is the newest nvidia driver that will work on a Vanta LT?
[06:11] <MOWVI> or is there any at all that will?
[06:11] <tanlaan> it tries to find mux.config
[06:11] <tanlaan> /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game/Startmux: line 7: mux.config: No such file or directory
[06:11] <user1> or are they not avaliable ?
[06:11] <ic56> csk: point your browser to http://ca.geocities.com/ic56@rogers.com/65/diskmounter-latest.txt Page down to "Instructions", and read till the next blank line.  Follow the instructions to save and run the file.  It will setup your /etc/fstab and mountpoints in /media so you can see your NTFS filesystems in Places> Computer.
[06:11] <ic56> csk: The script will ask you if you want to enable NTFS write.  Answer no.  If you already tried unsuccessfully to add your Windows filesystems to /etc/fstab , add a -b flag to the script invocation.  I authored this version, so I can help if anything goes wrong.
[06:12] <ic56> tanlaan: that's a different error message from before.  What were you doing wrong before?
[06:12] <tanlaan> most likely i typed something wrong
[06:13] <ic56> tanlaan: good.  now you understand.
[06:13] <tanlaan> but that means i would need to change the shell script
[06:13] <tanlaan> so that it knows which directory to look for...right?
[06:13] <Jack_Sparrow> csk... /dev/sda4 /media/sda4 vfat rw,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0  is how I have my fstab
[06:14] <ic56> tanlaan: no it doesn't.  What this error message is saying is that you need to supply a configuration file
[06:14] <tanlaan> say i know which is in the folder i normally cd to
[06:14] <tanlaan> which means it looks for it in the directory i am in
[06:14] <tanlaan> so i need to change it so it looks in a different directory
[06:15] <ic56> tanlaan: the config file must be called mux.config but it doesn't tell you where to put it or what should be in the file.  This is normal.  It means it's time to read the documentation :-)
[06:15] <Consty> NVU vs Bluefish, anyone know which is better?
[06:15] <jfields> i'm looking for a good laptop that works without much problem in linux..... i was lookin at one of the acer's on newegg... and the ones from cyberpower...
[06:15] <arapehl> Hey, has anyone ever gotten IE to work on Linux? As a web developer it's kinda important for me to be able to test my work in IE as well as FF.
[06:15] <Jack_Sparrow> jfields: my dells work fine and my hp work fine
[06:16] <bimberi> arapehl: yes, using wine
[06:16] <MOWVI> I would say NVU
[06:16] <bimberi> !wine
[06:16] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:16] <Consty> MOWVI: Think so?  Just curious
[06:16] <tanlaan> no no no
[06:16] <arapehl> bimberi: thanks!
[06:16] <skavenge> everything on my dell laptop ran out of box with ubuntu except the wireless nic but its broadcom so thats expected
[06:16] <bimberi> arapehl: frankscorner.org has good info for getting things like IE running
[06:16] <MOWVI> Consty: Yes but just my opinion
[06:16] <jfields> i also need to know about wireless... anyone use the new 11n under linux yet?
[06:16] <bimberi> arapehl: np :)
[06:16] <tanlaan> mux.config is in /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game/
[06:17] <jfields> skavenge, ok... so what wireless are good.. i heard something of atheros??
[06:17] <ic56> tanlaan: did you install it to that location or did you just unpack it there?  Installing is the process of configuring a piece of software with information about the locations of config files, executables, etc.
[06:18] <tanlaan> i already configured the file
[06:18] <csk> ic56 - i have run the script and it states /dev/hda1 - already in /etc/fstab (same for hda5) should i delete that code from fstab?
[06:18] <tanlaan> blah
[06:19] <skavenge> jfields: dunno there i would do some web research on what is nativley supported in linux if you really want no headaches .. most (like mine) can use the windows driver and a program called ndiswrapper to work anyway though
[06:19] <tanlaan> the script is made to only be unpacked
[06:19] <tanlaan> and it is looking in the place it is to look for other files
[06:19] <skavenge> i just had to tinker a little
[06:19] <agamotto> Here is a good one for sound experts:  How is it that sound can work for movies played within a web page, but not work within Mplayer, etc...?
[06:19] <tanlaan> which means i need to change the script to look in a specific directory instead of the directory it is in
[06:20] <Toma-> agamotto: mplayer might be using a different sound system
[06:20] <ic56> tanlaan: if you don't understand the script, post in pastebin.  I'll take a quick look and venture an opinion as to what you've done wrong.
[06:20] <jfields> cool
[06:20] <Toma-> agamotto: what browser, what plugin and what sound system do you have selected in mplayer?
[06:20] <ic56> csk: run the script with the -b flag -- it will backup your /etc/fstab and re-generate it, making a pretty decent attempt at getting it right.
[06:21] <tanlaan> http://pastebin.ca/76811
[06:21] <tanlaan> thats the script
[06:21] <tanlaan> on line 7 you will see what im talking about
[06:21] <ic56> csk: it'll save you a lot of work, if you're a newbie
[06:21] <agamotto> Hmmm... Firefox 1.5, the Mplayer plugins for the browser, and I not sure how to find the sound server with KDE
[06:22] <Toma-> agamotto: ahh. open up mplayer
[06:22] <agamotto> Toma-:  Ok, done
[06:23] <Toma-> agamotto: right click the movie screen and select Preferences. go over to the Audio tab and see the driver its using
[06:23] <ikken> how can I search for text inside a document. I want to find a certain phrase in a certain document, but I'm not sure what the document is, only the phrase - how do I search for the phrase throughout the entire system?
[06:23] <csk> ic56 - thanks that seems to have worked will reboot and see
[06:23] <agamotto> oss is the one highlighted
[06:23] <_joe> anyone know how to disable daemons/services from starting on startup?
[06:24] <Toma-> agamotto: try selecting alsa or arts
[06:24] <Toma-> agamotto: and then give it a go
[06:24] <wastrel> ikken:  grep -lr "search phrase" files
[06:24] <ikken> ok
[06:24] <ikken> thanks
[06:24] <ic56> csk: this is a poorly written script.  Makes a lot of assumptions.  One of them is that mux.config is in your current directory when you invoke the script.  So, if you cwd is /home/tanlaan, then mux.config must be tehre too.  If mux.config is in mux2.4.... wherever it was that you unpacked the sw, then it's easiest if you cd to that location and execute the script like so: ./<script name>
[06:24] <wastrel> ikken:  where files are the files you want to search
[06:25] <hektik> whats the differnce between compiz-quinn and compiz-aglx o_O
[06:25] <^catalyst> hrmm, is there a wine support channel ?
[06:25] <tanlaan> thats what ive been saying!
[06:25] <wastrel> hektik:  maybe ask on #ubuntu-xgl
[06:25] <tanlaan> lol
[06:25] <hektik> wastrel: ahh, such a channel exists
[06:26] <tanlaan> as i said i would need to change the script to look in a specific directory instead of assuming that its being executed from that directory
[06:26] <ic56> tanlaan: there's more problems.  It never defines the variable $PIDFILE .  You need define it before invoking the script
[06:26] <agamotto> Toma-:  Ok, I just did that, and tried to play a clip from my hd... no sound
[06:26] <Tmob> my suspend/resume doesn't resume the X properly... it hangs up after it powers on.. anyone nkow how to fix this? i'm usnig it on a Dell d410 lapto
[06:26] <agamotto> Go figure
[06:27] <tanlaan> why would i need to
[06:27] <tanlaan> it seems to work
[06:27] <Toma-> agamotto: dont quote me on this, but it might need a restart (Mplayer that is)
[06:27] <agamotto> Ahhh, ok
[06:27] <tanlaan> like if its already running it gives me the right error
[06:27] <ic56> tanlaan: yeah, you can get by without it.  Oh, wait, it's probably being defined inside mux.config  the latter in fact becomes part of your script.
[06:28] <tanlaan> most likely
[06:28] <ic56> tanlaan: ok. so you're cool?  all done?
[06:28] <tanlaan> umm i guess
[06:28] <tanlaan> i basically have to do a lot of changing directories
[06:29] <ic56> tanlaan: eh?  Why?
[06:29] <tanlaan> so i can use the script on startup
[06:30] <tanlaan> otherwise i cant use it] 
[06:30] <ic56> tanlaan: oh, you must mean for finding mux.config  ok.  Do you speak Bash or is it foreign to you?
[06:30] <ikken> where is thunderbird mail stored?
[06:30] <tanlaan> kinda foreign but im good
[06:30] <tanlaan> bbs dinner
[06:30] <ic56> I'll fix it in paste bin for you. hang on
[06:30] <agamotto> Toma-:  Hmmm, still no go
[06:31] <Toma-> agamotto: im sorry, im kinda busy atm, might wanna ask again and see if someone else can help. basically, its your driver that you need tweaking in mplayer, or even the Kde sounds system in control centre
[06:32] <agamotto> Ahhh, ok.  I will try a few things then
[06:32] <Toma-> sorry!
[06:32] <ic56> tanlaan: ok.  can you see the changed script?
[06:32] <tach00_> question, what directory has the desktop backgrounds?
[06:33] <ic56> tanlaan: 76835
[06:33] <mejobloggs> hey, can someone tell me where the howto is for installing nvidia drives, and configuring x ?
[06:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !nv
[06:33] <ubotu> I know nothing about nv
[06:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !nvidia
[06:33] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:33] <bimberi> ikken: try in ~/mozilla
[06:33] <mejobloggs> thanks
[06:33] <bimberi> ikken: oops, try in ~/.mozilla
[06:34] <ic56> tanlaan: just do this:  mv <wherever mux.config is currently>  ~/.muxrc
[06:34] <agamotto> Ok, this is going to sound ignorant, but where is the volume control kept in KDE?
[06:35] <ic56> tanlaan: then hmmm, do you want the script in your PATH?  To save you some typing?  Or are you happy invoking it from where it is?
[06:35] <Hobbsee> agamotto: alt+f2, kmix
[06:35] <agamotto> danke
[06:35] <adu> hi
[06:35] <tach00_> question, what directory has the desktop backgrounds?
[06:36] <MOWVI> o_O
[06:36] <adu> MOWVI: ?
[06:37] <Timir> Uhm, could anyone point me to a game chat on freenode?
[06:37] <ic56> tach00_: looking for you
[06:37] <tach00_> thanks ic56
[06:38] <ubuntuinstaller> hi. how do I recover Windows XP after a failure of the ubuntu installer?
[06:38] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntuinstaller: boot to a floppy or 98cd and fdisk /mbr
[06:38] <MOWVI> have a nice day or night, time for me to go
[06:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !mbr
[06:39] <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
[06:40] <mejobloggs> !nvidia
[06:40] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:41] <tanlaan> ok bak
[06:41] <mejobloggs> hi, im having problems following the BinaryDRiverHowTo
[06:41] <mejobloggs> for nvidia it says "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable"
[06:42] <mejobloggs> but when I do that, the terminal tells me......
[06:42] <ubuntuinstaller> Jack_Sparrow: I wish I had one... I'll try to find a way to perform fdisk /mbr. thanks
[06:43] <ic56> tach00_: sorry, I have that stuff disabled and can't find it now.  If you can figure out the name of the background image, you search for it.  Wait, are you sure this isn't the splash image loaded by grub?
[06:43] <mejobloggs> whats wrong with pastebin!! arggh
[06:43] <ic56> tanlaan: are you ok with the changed script in pastebin.ca/76835 ?
[06:44] <tach00_> no i was looking for some backgrounds that i have in my root dir, but cant seem to find the folder there in, i did a search for *.jpg but not sure thats the format
[06:44] <skavenge> ubuntuinstaller: bootdisk.com has some with fdisk on it, might wanna check that out
[06:44] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntuinstaller: any windows cd will do
[06:44] <mejobloggs> anyone have another pastebin link i can use?
[06:45] <mejobloggs> pastebin.com isnt working for me
[06:45] <wastrel> !pastebin
[06:45] <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)
[06:45] <ubuntuinstaller> skavage: thanks!
[06:45] <skavenge> np
[06:45] <Jack_Sparrow> tach png maybe
[06:46] <mejobloggs> ok
[06:46] <tanlaan> idk if that would work
[06:46] <mejobloggs> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16984 <-- can you look at that please?
[06:46] <tach00_> thats what i thought too, but not, thats what all the icons and stuff are
[06:46] <mejobloggs> the BinaryHOwTo thing never mentions that
[06:47] <tach00_> almost has to be jpg jack
[06:47] <tanlaan> i say it should change to . /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game/mux.config
[06:47] <mejobloggs> no one gonna help me? :(
[06:48] <ic56> tanlaan: ok.  Whatever feels cleanest to you.
[06:48] <tach00_> lol sounds easy to just do a search but there is a unbelieveable amount of pics on this machine lol
[06:48] <tanlaan> ok
[06:48] <ubuntuinstaller> I'll try a "rescue disk" I found and then bootdisk.com. bye. Do I need to post a bug report for the installer crash on partitioning or is it a known bug? I found few threads on your forums but apparently no answer
[06:48] <dli> mejobloggs, you didn't follow the nvidia howto
[06:48] <tanlaan> ill try both
[06:48] <mejobloggs> dli: i did!
[06:48] <mejobloggs> dli: why do you say that?
[06:49] <mejobloggs> dli: i am following this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[06:50] <mejobloggs> i installed nvidia-glx, and the linux-restricted-modulues where allready installed
[06:50] <tanlaan> brb im gonna try it out
[06:50] <dli> mejobloggs, nvidia-glx shouldn't modify xorg.conf
[06:50] <ubuntuinstaller> bb
[06:50] <mejobloggs> dli: well that is all i have done, nothing else
[06:51] <polishkoop> I'm using dapper drake 6.06 and I can't get my wireless card to work.  I successfully installed the windows drivers with ndiswrapper because there are no native drivers for my wifi card.  I also configured the card under eth1 <-- which is what it came up as.  I can't seem to connect to the internet with it though.  Anyone have any ideas
[06:51] <Xen> Does anyone know if there's a good VM app for linux that can run near native speeds?
[06:51] <mejobloggs> dli: can you tell me what to do next?
[06:52] <dli> mejobloggs, dpkg-reconfigure first, then, follow the binary howto again
[06:52] <Gareth1> Xen, Parallels Workstation (not free though)
[06:52] <mejobloggs> dli: exactly the same thing is going to happen, i did nothing wrong
[06:52] <Xen> Gareth1: yeah.. heard of parallels.. need something free ><
[06:53] <dli> polishkoop, which chipset?
[06:53] <mejobloggs> dli: what does dpkg -reconfigure do anyway?
[06:53] <polishkoop> dli: it's broadcom.
[06:53] <dli> polishkoop, broadcom 43xx? it's in kernel now
[06:53] <tach00_> question, what directory has the desktop backgrounds?
[06:54] <Gareth1> Xen, there was a comparison of virtualization software somewhere on wikipedia, let me see if I can dig it up
[06:54] <dli> polishkoop, no need to go ndiswrapper
[06:54] <lecaros> hi
[06:54] <polishkoop> dli: it is bcm4306.  that has native linux support now?
[06:54] <mejobloggs> hi
[06:54] <dli> polishkoop, yes, bcm43xx is supported natively
[06:55] <polishkoop> dli: nice, i gotta figure out how to get that working.  Thanks man
[06:55] <Gareth1> dli, the bcm43xx driver doesn't seem to support more than 802.11b speeds (ie 11 mbit)
[06:55] <mejobloggs> its not working :(
[06:55] <Xen> Gareth1: ah okay thx
[06:55] <dli> polishkoop, not sure about ubuntu kernel, but you can always get kernel source from kernel.org
[06:55] <tanlaan> my way didnt work
[06:55] <lecaros> someone has configured and usb dsl modem? the device is working, but pppoeconf can't configure it
[06:55] <tanlaan> im gonna try yours
[06:55] <dli> Gareth1, still better than ndiswrapper :(
[06:55] <ic56> tanlaan: why didn't your way work?!  it's no better or worse than mine
[06:55] <Gareth1> there's always the angry hatemail to broadcom
[06:56] <ic56> tanlaan: what exactly did you do?  Don't fly blind.
[06:56] <dli> Gareth1, is rt2x00 is still the best supported?
[06:56] <tanlaan> maybe because i put a space
[06:56] <skavenge> nothing wrong with ndiswrapper, at least it works
[06:56] <tanlaan> i put
[06:56] <bimberi> !broadcom
[06:56] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:57] <tanlaan> . /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game/mud.config
[06:57] <efox> im doing an install on my desktop, how much space should i allocate for /boot ?
[06:57] <Gareth1> dli, not sure
[06:57] <free> hello
[06:57] <ic56> tanlaan: the syntax is correct.  but "mud.config" should be mu *x* .config
[06:57] <tanlaan> what?
[06:57] <dli> Gareth1, no point to be angry, sell the bcm card on ebay, get a rt2500/zd1211, even an intel ipw3945
[06:57] <tanlaan> why?
[06:58] <ic56> isn't that the correct filename? mux.config ?
[06:58] <Gareth1> dli, I've an intergrated broadcom 4318 in my acer unfortuantely
[06:58] <tanlaan> OOO
[06:58] <tanlaan> blah im dumb
[06:58] <tanlaan> lol
[06:58] <skavenge> broadcom's work fine with ndiswrapper, mine does
[06:58] <tanlaan> oops :D
[06:58] <Gareth1> I didn't really know anything about linux at all when I'd bought my laptop, I would have definitely gone for an intel chipset if I had
[06:58] <tanlaan> wait
[06:58] <tanlaan> nvm
[06:58] <ic56> tanlaan: if you can't type right, you should *always* cut and paste.
[06:58] <dli> Gareth1, then, people should check before ordering
[06:58] <tanlaan> here it is pasted
[06:58] <tanlaan> . /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game/mux.config
[06:59] <t94xr> ic56: i can see that copy and paste every word in a sentence :P
[06:59] <dli> Gareth1, I heard intel is making a fully GPLed driver for its ipw3945
[06:59] <Gareth1> wow
[06:59] <polishkoop> dli: where should i look to find out how to get my wifi card workign with the linux drivers?
[06:59] <Gareth1> I think I'd kiss whoever sold me the laptop
[07:00] <tanlaan> maybe it shouldnt have a space?
[07:00] <lecaros> nobody? :(
[07:00] <tanlaan> like ./home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game/mux.config
[07:00] <dli> polishkoop, download kernel source from kernel.org , you can see yourself
[07:00] <ic56> tanlaan: no, the space is *required*.  The `.' is a verb, the /home/... is it's argument.
[07:00] <Gareth1> lecaros, unfortuantely not much experience with usb modems
[07:00] <efox> anyone ?
[07:00] <efox> my laptop has 128MB but i think that was too much for /boot
[07:00] <tanlaan> ok
[07:01] <Gareth1> what I do know is that they are a pain
[07:01] <joselecaros> !ping
[07:01] <ubotu> pong
[07:01] <dli> polishkoop, better, download a livecd which supports bcm43 :)
[07:01] <tanlaan> then why didnt it work :(
[07:01] <ardchoille> joselecaros: hahahaha
[07:01] <ardchoille> That's the first time I have seen the bot show a sense of humour
[07:01] <polishkoop> dli: i think i already have kernel-source for my kernel
[07:01] <Gareth1> efox, anywhere between 40-200 mb should be great
[07:01] <dli> polishkoop, this is a beta release livecd ( not for ubuntu!), http://linktrim.com/5c5
[07:01] <ic56> tanlaan: give me more than just "doesn't work".  Your wasting a lot of time with meaningless short answers.  You need to be giving explicit error messages, if you want to get effective help from people here.
[07:02] <skavenge> bcm43xx is in dapper, HAL thought thats what mine was and i had to blacklist the module to get the ndiswrapper driver to load
[07:02] <dli> tanlaan, right, " it doesn't work " doesn't bring in much help , be specific
[07:02] <tanlaan> no i meant like i set it up, and then tried to connect to my server *which the script starts* and it didnt allow connection
[07:02] <polishkoop> skavenge: if if they have the driver how come u were using ndiswrapper?
[07:02] <tanlaan> which means it didnt work
[07:03] <tanlaan> ill see what the error is
[07:03] <tanlaan> one sec
[07:03] <efox> Gareth1:  but thats such a large range...is there no way of narrowing it down. What would recommend ? My current config is 128mb...
[07:03] <efox> skavenge:  do you kno if the bcm43xx can go the full 54Mbs...i followed a howto, and it said i can only get 11Mbs
[07:04] <tanlaan> for some reason it didnt give me an error but didnt start it up
[07:04] <skavenge> polishkoop: because mine isnt a  43xx, thats just what ubuntu thought .. i had to use ndiswrapper for mine, its a dell 1350 wireless nic but its broadcom based
[07:04] <homerh_linux> morning ppl
[07:04] <ic56> tanlaan: the script couldn't be found is also "didn't work".  Couldn't find the config file is also "didn't work".  You've given us more information -- that's better.
[07:04] <skavenge> efox: dunno i didnt use that driver, couldnt say
[07:04] <ic56> tanlaan: is it already running?
[07:04] <tanlaan> no
[07:04] <tanlaan> it would have given me the error remember
[07:04] <ic56> tanlaan: pastebin everything.
[07:04] <dli> Homer, not morning everywhere :(
[07:05] <Gareth1> efox, I'm currently using 90/200 MB in my /boot
[07:05] <homerh_linux> im having a problem with my ubuntu system loging me out to the singin screen it only happens i think when firestater is running or azureues any ideas
[07:05] <Gareth1> that's with four kernels
[07:05] <tanlaan> there isnt anything to pastebin
[07:05] <tach00_> can someone help me with a cd burner issue, none of the burner software will do anything,it will go all the way to the write process, then just sit there for ever
[07:05] <tanlaan> it didnt give me any errors
[07:05] <dli> Gareth1, 90MB is at excess
[07:05] <tanlaan> what so ever
[07:05] <homerh_linux> dli i know it just a habit
[07:05] <Gareth1> dli, I know - I've just been playing around with kernel compilation
[07:05] <Gareth1> most of it's been a mess, somehow I managed to compile every flavour
[07:05] <tanlaan> im gonna try your way and see if it works
[07:06] <dli> Gareth1, build your own livecd :)
[07:06] <ubuntuinstaller> I-m back. Still trying to recover windows Xp after the ubuntu installer failure. The recovery disk provided by the manufacturer of my computer will restore the original content of my hard disk. It doesn-t allow me to fdisk /mbr. And my computer has no floppy disk drive, so I can-t take a boot floppy image from bootdisk.com and use it. Any other ideas?
[07:06] <Gareth1> bah, brb firefox is fscked
[07:07] <mejobloggs> dli, what can i do now to isntall the nvidia drivers?
[07:07] <ic56> tanlaan: you've modified the script.  How do I know you didn't screw up something else, given that you've already shown yourself a bad typist?  Further, I've never seen the config file.  Put that in the pastebin too.  Also, the invocation -- cut and paste what you typed and what got displayed upto and including the subsequent shell prompt.  If there is any additional info pastebin that too -- like how do you know that "it 
[07:07] <dli> ubuntuinstaller, are you installing ubuntu still?
[07:07] <mejobloggs> i guess i already have it installed, so I need help to set them up
[07:07] <dli> ubuntuinstaller, if so, you can use grub to load windows:)
[07:07] <bcron> ubuntuinstaller: are you sure your XP is bad or you just can't get to it because the installer is bad
[07:07] <bcron> or rather bootloader...
[07:07] <ic56> tanlaan: by being lazy about providing us with information, you've wasted what? half an hour? one hour now?
[07:08] <tanlaan> ...
[07:08] <tanlaan> fine ill paste bin everything
[07:08] <ic56> tanlaan: looking fwd to it
[07:08] <dli> tanlaan, you should have done that at the very beginning, anyway
[07:09] <tach00_> can someone help me with a cd burner issue, none of the burner software will do anything,it will go all the way to the write process, then just sit there for ever
[07:09] <bcron> does Ubuntu make a bootfloppy.img?  I found one made by DSL but it only works to book Knoppix
[07:09] <ubuntuinstaller> dli - the installer messed up the mbr of the hard disk, so if I boot without the ubuntu live cd, I get the grub console prompt. I still would like to install ubuntu but the installer crashes when I assign partitions.
[07:09] <dli> tach00_, what about k3b ?
[07:09] <bcron> guess that's good enough thou... since I could use knoppix or DSL to load the other distro
[07:09] <ic56> dli: thanks.  It's nice to get some some support when explaining protocol to a newbie.
[07:09] <tach00_> dli: same thing
[07:10] <cbergy> Quick question, if I'm a web app developer new to Ubuntu, should I get the Server version for testing PHP/MySQL locally, or just get the regular release and install the LAMP seperately?
[07:10] <tach00_> i've tried all of the ones that come with ubuntu
[07:10] <tach00_> has to be some kind of setting i am over looking or maybe a conflict
[07:10] <bcron> ubuntuinstaller: don't mess with the manufacturer CD... XP is fine it's just hiding... I had this happen before and Im looking for what the solution was
[07:10] <icebreeze> i've got a brand new ubuntu install and for some reason my system hardlocks when trying to run a opengl program.  So far DRI is enabled and the glxinfo output seems to be normal.  I'm running a savage video card.  I'm not to sure how to go about solving this issue since everything seems to be normal except for the fact it crashes.  Any suggestions?
[07:10] <jojoman02> how do i restart samba services?
[07:10] <dli> ubuntuinstaller, okay, I suggest you to boot livecd, make a small /boot partion, install grub :)
[07:11] <icebreeze> jojoman02: /etc/init.d/samba i think
[07:11] <icebreeze> oops
[07:11] <icebreeze> with a restart
[07:11] <dli> tach00_, any error messages from k3b or from dmesg ?
[07:11] <icebreeze> after the /etc/init.d/samba
[07:11] <hektik> anyone familiar with LinEAK?
[07:11] <tach00_> dli: i let k3b sit all night last night, thinking it might jsut be slow, didnt do anything all night, just sat on 0%
[07:11] <ic56> cbergy: I think the server install omits the GUI.  I think either way can work but I've never done it.
[07:11] <tach00_> dli: nope
[07:11] <dli> icebreeze, savage has some known issue with glx
[07:12] <cbergy> ic56: awesome, thanks :) I'll just use the typical install and add apache, php, mysql, ruby, etc.
[07:12] <jojoman02> icebreeze: thankz, it was ---> sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[07:12] <icebreeze> dli: so are you saying its not going to work or there is a fix i can do
[07:12] <tach00_> dli: i have also tried 2 different burners that i know work, a usb and a ide.
[07:12] <joselecaros> ardchoille, you what?
[07:12] <ic56> cbergy: I'm pretty sure I've heard people in channel doing just that.
[07:12] <ardchoille> joselecaros: ?
[07:12] <ic56> cbergy: have fun!
[07:13] <hektik> ive setup a lineakd config to make my volume+ and volume- buttons on my headset function properly, but the buttons only change the volume by 1% at a time.  how could i make it do 10% at a time?
[07:13] <dli> icebreeze, I have savage here, it works normally with xorg-7.0 7.1 , doesn't crash
[07:13] <ubuntuinstaller> dli: I'm using the ubuntu livecd now.  I'll try to make the boot partition.
[07:13] <Seq> does anybody have a Logitech G5 mouse working? I cannot get it to work at all (I thought it worked as a plain-old HID device?)
[07:13] <cbergy> thanks
[07:13] <dli> ubuntuinstaller, don't destory your windows partition :)
[07:13] <bcron> ubuntuinstaller:  Im sorry when I had this problem it was with lilo not grub...
[07:13] <tanlaan> http://pastebin.ca/76851
[07:14] <dli> icebreeze, it might be a ubuntu issue, are you running dapper?
[07:14] <icebreeze> dli: hmmm can you tell me what you did? well first off when you install ubuntu 6.06 you are given xorg 7  correct?  Did it work out of the box or did you have to tweak some stuff
[07:14] <icebreeze> i'm using whatever you guys have on the site i believe it is 6.06
[07:14] <ic56> tanlaan: looking
[07:14] <bcron> ubuntuinstaller: does your floppy drive work?
[07:14] <ubuntuinstaller> dli: crossing my fingers. this is a nasty bug for an OS installer.
[07:14] <Consty> how can I have synaptic get newer versions of software?  for instance firefox 2.0 and such?
[07:14] <dli> icebreeze, but I don't run ubuntu myself :( I run gentoo on that savage box
[07:14] <ubuntuinstaller> bcron: it's a notebook without fdd
[07:14] <kalosaurusrex> can I install dapper without having to boot into the live cd?
[07:15] <tanlaan> oo i cant copy what my client says while connecting to the server after "starting" the script
[07:15] <icebreeze> dli: yah i'm tempted to put gentoo on that system however its a family cpu and i don't really feel like maintaining it
[07:15] <Gareth> kalosaurusrex, you can get the alternative CD and that is a text-only framebuffer installation
[07:15] <dli> ubuntuinstaller, I heard the rumor that debian is proud of ubuntu, untill dapper released
[07:15] <tanlaan> it just wont let me copy it
[07:15] <ic56> tanlaan: ah.  the config file is also making stupid assumptions.
[07:15] <icebreeze> dli: can you tell me what your glxinfo says
[07:15] <kalosaurusrex> gareth: on ubuntulinux.org ?  I haven't seen that as an option..
[07:15] <dli> icebreeze, gentoo is slow at installation, but more stable the ubuntu dapper :)
[07:15] <kalosaurusrex> Gareth, as in Belgareth?  or maybe it's belgarath hehe
[07:15] <tach00_> dli: any ideas on what would make the system just sit there and not even try to write
[07:16] <Gareth> I thnk you have to dig for them, they're pushing the livecd variant I think
[07:16] <bcron> ubuntuinstaller: do you have any other distros handy?
[07:16] <dli> icebreeze, okay, I will pastebin
[07:16] <Gareth> although how can you pass up playing tetris during your install?
[07:16] <ic56> tanlaan: if you're in Terminal, copyng should work indiscriminately.  Perhaps mouse button problems?
[07:16] <kalosaurusrex> that's cool
[07:16] <Consty> gentoo is not as stable as dapper in my opinion
[07:16] <icebreeze> dli: oh i know i've run gentoo for a long time i was just interested in ubuntu since i'm tired of coming home every couple months to my sisters destroying their computer
[07:16] <kalosaurusrex> well for some reason I think my laptop cd-rom is too slow for the live cd. or something.  not sure.
[07:16] <icebreeze> Consty: gentoo is saber if you stay withing the sable tree.
[07:16] <icebreeze> *stable
[07:16] <kalosaurusrex> but breezy installs fine.  I just can't get dapper to install.
[07:16] <tanlaan> what do you mean? the client thing?
[07:17] <ubuntuinstaller> bcron: fedora core 5. I was dropping it but maybe I should reinstall it and see if grub will show XP again. Is it a good idea?
[07:17] <bcron> Im running xubuntu now and it worked perfectly
[07:17] <Gareth> kalosaurusrex, http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-releases/6.06/   under the heading "alternate install CD"
[07:17] <Consty> icebreeze: No more stable than dapper is..  its the same stuff just wrapped with a different name, sure some version differences but thats it
[07:17] <kalosaurusrex> rock on thanks gareth!
[07:17] <dli> icebreeze, I have xorg-x11-7.1, xorg-server-1.1.0-r1, and x11-drivers/xf86-video-savage-2.1.1
[07:17] <ic56> tanlaan: pastebin me a listing (ls -l) of the directory containing the sw too.  I have no idea if the config file is refering to stuff that pre-exists or not.
[07:17] <Gareth> kalosaurusrex, you might have a corrupted CD (it's happened before to me)
[07:17] <ic56> tanlaan: yes, I meant the client thing
[07:17] <Gareth> or a scratch on the disc
[07:18] <Gareth> you're welcome
[07:18] <bcron> yeah... I once installed suse just to get my mbr back in order
[07:18] <tanlaan> its not terminal, its gnome-mud
[07:18] <icebreeze> Consty: so then why say gentoo is not as stable as ubuntu :-p
[07:18] <bcron> that's a much less destructive path than wiping your XP
[07:18] <Guitarhero> could someone please take a look at this:
[07:18] <Guitarhero> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1201000#post1201000
[07:18] <ubuntuinstaller> bcron: i'll try fc5 then. thanks for the help. bbl
[07:18] <icebreeze> dli: do you think its a good idea to use the use maintained tree rather than the ubuntu official ones?
[07:18] <kalosaurusrex> guitarhero, please don't just post a link.  at the ver least give an idea of what your problem is perhaps?
[07:18] <ic56> tanlaan: not familiar with gnome-mud; cannot comment on what should and shouldn't work inside its window.
[07:19] <Guitarhero> it has to dow ith my network card not alloowing me to boot
[07:19] <Guitarhero> ive been trying to fix this for days
[07:19] <Guitarhero> i was on here last night
[07:19] <tanlaan> ok ill paste bin the ls
[07:19] <dli> icebreeze, http://pastebin.ca/76855
[07:19] <Guitarhero> im exuasted with this problem
[07:19] <Guitarhero> exaust*
[07:19] <tanlaan> http://pastebin.ca/76856
[07:19] <ardchoille> exhausted*
[07:20] <dli> icebreeze, since ubuntu is not source based, mixing repositories would lead to nowhere
[07:20] <Consty> icebreeze: isn't gentoo's stable branch like hella far behind ubuntu dapper?  I think so.. and therefore generally one would think that dapper is more stable.. is there really a need to argue your pointless endevours?
[07:20] <icebreeze> Consty: i don't belive so
[07:20] <bcron> Guitarhero: I think you have to lose the card or the distro and seeing how the distro is free I'd get rid of that
[07:20] <icebreeze> dli: nowhere?
[07:20] <Consty> icebreeze: hehe I'm just playing.. :)
[07:21] <Guitarhero> Well then thats it for linux for me
[07:21] <hektik> http://pastebin.ca/76858 <- with this it takes 3-4 clicks on my headset to adjust 1% pcm volume. how could i make it adjust faster?
[07:21] <bcron> slow down there
[07:21] <Guitarhero> ive tried other distros and nothing else is appealing
[07:21] <Guitarhero> nah its fine
[07:21] <kalosaurusrex> guitarhero:  I know this might suck..but does breezy work?
[07:21] <dli> icebreeze, right, deps disaster
[07:21] <bcron> have you tried pc linux os?  that is a snap too
[07:21] <Guitarhero> i used breezy before with a different network card
[07:21] <Guitarhero> havnt tried it with this one
[07:21] <icebreeze> dli: well is 7.1 even avialable for ubuntu
[07:21] <Guitarhero> my old card was a netgear, this is linksys
[07:21] <Consty> is this just a wired network card guitarhero?
[07:21] <Consty> or wireless?
[07:22] <Guitarhero> wireless
[07:22] <Consty> Guitarhero: doesn't work with ndiswrapper?
[07:22] <dli> icebreeze, are you sure? 7.1 breaks nvidia binary driver
[07:22] <Guitarhero> i was going to try it but someone posted in my thread that said they had the same problem and ndiswrapper doesnt do it
[07:22] <icebreeze> dli: didn't you just say that you were running 7.1 on that savage system
[07:22] <Guitarhero> but i guess i have no other options so i might as well try it
[07:22] <Consty> Guitarhero: whats the product #?
[07:23] <Consty> desktop or pcmcia?
[07:23] <dli> icebreeze, yes, 7.1, and with the version of savage driver as 2.1.1
[07:23] <Guitarhero> WMP54G
[07:23] <Guitarhero> PCI
[07:23] <Paladine> icebreeze do I know you?
[07:23] <Consty> Guitarhero: what version?
[07:23] <Guitarhero> i just bought it so whatever the most recent is
[07:23] <Consty> Guitarhero: I have that in my pc and its auto detected
[07:23] <Guitarhero> didnt know there was more than one
[07:23] <hektik> hmm i think i solved my own problem :S brb restarting
[07:23] <icebreeze> Paladine: well i'm not to sure where would you know me from
[07:23] <dli> Guitarhero, is wmp56g supported by rt2500?
[07:23] <iceman> Hello everyone.
[07:23] <Paladine> you live in canada?
[07:23] <tanlaan> ic56: did you check it out?
[07:23] <icebreeze> dli: um what is with ubuntu having two package gui things
[07:23] <Consty> If he has a v4 I think it is.. then its a rt2500
[07:24] <Consty> but if it was it would automatically be detected
[07:24] <Guitarhero> what is rt2500? and i have wmp54
[07:24] <Guitarhero> it is detected
[07:24] <icebreeze> dli: one is add/remove apps and the other is snaptic package manager... isnt that redundant
[07:24] <ic56> tanlaan: sorry, I just noticed the pastebin number now. Looking
[07:24] <iceman> I'm having alot of problems installing the gnome-splashscreen-manager...
[07:24] <dli> Guitarhero, just try, modprobe rt2500
[07:24] <Consty> Guitarhero: so whats the problem?
[07:24] <Guitarhero> but i can configure and activate it but it still doesnt working
[07:24] <tanlaan> ok
[07:24] <Guitarhero> work
[07:24] <Consty> Guitarhero: Ohhhh did you type in a SSID to connect to?
[07:24] <tach00_> dli: any ideas on what would make the system just sit there and not even try to write
[07:24] <Guitarhero> and then after i configure it i reboot and i cant get into ubuntu
[07:24] <Guitarhero> yes
[07:24] <iceman> Can someone help me out with it?
[07:24] <Consty> Guitarhero: and enable DHCP ?
[07:24] <ic56> tanlaan: I said "ls -l".  Not "ls".  Please pay attention.
[07:24] <Guitarhero> yes
[07:24] <dli> tach00_, what do you mean?
[07:25] <Consty> Guitarhero: Makes no sense, maybe you have some funky version.. the one I have works perfectly no problems
[07:25] <tanlaan> sorry :(
[07:25] <ic56> tanlaan: waiting for new pastebin output
[07:25] <Guitarhero> i type in my essid and dhcp, then i activate it
[07:25] <Guitarhero> it doesnt work
[07:25] <tach00_> remember, the whole my cd burner software just sits there and does nothing, no error messages, just doesnt write
[07:25] <Guitarhero> then i reboot
[07:25] <Guitarhero> and i cant get in
[07:25] <dli> Guitarhero, can you get ip?
[07:25] <Consty> Guitarhero: Here's a question.. where you type the SSID in can you pull the drop down and see your wireless network?
[07:26] <Guitarhero> what pull down
[07:26] <tanlaan> http://pastebin.ca/76860
[07:26] <tanlaan> bam
[07:26] <Guitarhero> in network configuration
[07:26] <iceman> Can anyone explain to me how dependencies work? I keep having problems installing software.
[07:26] <Guitarhero> i do iwconfig and it seems to see the network cand connect
[07:26] <Consty> Guitarhero: yeah where you type your SSID information theres a little thing that you can pull down to show detected wireless networks
[07:26] <Consty> Guitarhero: See if ti shows up
[07:26] <Guitarhero> but the internet doesnt work and it screws up my system
[07:26] <Guitarhero> oh no
[07:26] <Paladine> icebreeze join offtopic a sec
[07:26] <Guitarhero> it doesnt show that
[07:26] <ic56> tanlaan: :-) looking
[07:26] <Guitarhero> i click the pulldown thing and its all white
[07:26] <dli> iceman, deps is handled by apt auto :)
[07:27] <Paladine> icebreeze, I not registered so can't use /msg
[07:27] <Guitarhero> but it not detcting the network would cause ubuntu to stop booting
[07:27] <iceman> So how do I fix the deps problems?
[07:27] <icebreeze> where is offtopic
[07:27] <Guitarhero> it never gets past the part right after checking all file systems
[07:27] <Paladine> #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:27] <Guitarhero> which is about networking
[07:27] <icebreeze> ah
[07:27] <ic56> tanlaan: yeah, whoever wrote this is *really* accustomed to cd'ing to a place before invoking executables.  I'll fix the config file. Hang on.
[07:27] <tanlaan> ok
[07:28] <Consty> Guitarhero: Very odd, well I do know that eventually it'll boot up, just that dhcp tries forever
[07:28] <Guitarhero> ive ctrl+c past it but then it goes to login, i login, then it just sits at a brown screen with a mouse pointer
[07:28] <iceman> I try to install the different deps that it says it having problems with but then that file also has dep problems.
[07:28] <iceman> I'm new to linux...
[07:28] <tach00_> me too
[07:28] <icebreeze> dli: well great this is weird it looks like i have the same settings as you.... i'm so tempted to just get gentoo on here
[07:29] <Consty> Guitarhero: Try going into the command prompt and type iwlist scan
[07:29] <Consty> Guitarhero: see if anything showsup
[07:29] <Guitarhero> well im on my windows hdd now because ubuntu isnt working
[07:29] <Guitarhero> ill do that next time
[07:29] <Consty> Guitarhero: oh.. windows.. *puke*
[07:29] <Guitarhero> i have to use a live cd or take out my network card
[07:29] <hektik> weee it works ;D
[07:29] <Guitarhero> yes i know but its all i can use for now
[07:29] <tach00_> has anyone had problems with their cd burner not working with dapper?
[07:29] <Consty> Guitarhero: Might as well buy yourself another wireless card that you know will work cuz windows is on its way to the garbage
[07:29] <ic56> tanlaan: I hate this.  I don't want fix it badly.  but with the way you want to invoke it, I must hardcode everything.  If you move it, you'll have re-edit the config file.  You wanna proceed that way or do you wanna fix it right?
[07:30] <roostishaw> how would i make the following make sence (as in, what is the oporator for 'or')?  if   (document.referrer != "http://24.126.92.199:8324/" or "http://24.126.92.199:8324/index.html")
[07:30] <Guitarhero> any suggested brands that are more linux friendly?
[07:30] <Guitarhero> i tried a dlink one first but it was terrible
[07:30] <Guitarhero> back to netgear?
[07:30] <tanlaan> umm its fine if i move it ill fix it
[07:30] <Consty> well I hear netgear is alright... I like linksys though but you just need to find one that works.. what I'de do is like buy one
[07:30] <Consty> then if it works keep it if not take it back and return it for another one
[07:31] <iceman> Can someone help me with dep issues?
[07:31] <Paladine> dlink all th way baby!
[07:31] <Healot> Guitarhero: anything with RT2xxx chipset as recommended by FSF
[07:31] <ic56> tanlaan: ok.  You understand what needs to be done?  the config file is saying the bin directory (and all the other dirs are in "." (= the current directory).  This means
[07:31] <Guitarhero> dlink was getting an 8% signal while this linksys one gets 70%
[07:31] <Guitarhero> alright thanks
[07:31] <Paladine> Iam a dlink posterboy
[07:31] <Consty> Healot: That doesn't help him though when he doens't know which cards have that chipset.. know of a site that shows?
[07:31] <Paladine> all my networkingis dlink
[07:31] <Guitarhero> my router is
[07:31] <Guitarhero> which is why i tried a dlink card first, but it sucked
[07:32] <Paladine> I even have an internal 9dB dlink wifi antenna
[07:32] <tach00_> has anyone had problems with their cd burner not working with dapper?
[07:32] <Guitarhero> well ill go troubleshoot some more i guess, thanks for the support
[07:32] <ic56> tanlaan: you must either cd to the place where that bin is or you must change change the config file to specify an absolute pathname instaed of ./bin
[07:32] <Guitarhero> Wish me luck.....
[07:32] <Paladine> good luck
[07:32] <efox> hm...
[07:32] <efox> im doing an install
[07:32] <Consty> I'm curious to know if anyone in here is running ubuntu on a mac?
[07:32] <Healot> !hardware
[07:32] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[07:32] <tanlaan> ok ill do it
[07:33] <tanlaan> its simple enough
[07:33] <ic56> tanlaan: cool.  Have fun!  You'll learn more.
[07:33] <efox> and i set up my partitions as /, /home, /boot and swap plus my 2 windows paritions..however i dont have enuff mounting points with dapper
[07:33] <TheMoebius> kdm doesn't seem to want to start and when I look in /var/log/kdm.log i see  "Unrecognized option: tcp" and the usage information
[07:33] <tanlaan> lol ok

[07:33] <efox> i only have 5

[07:35] <noiesmo> looking for help with pxeclient pxelinux.0 invalid image error
[07:35] <icebreeze> hehe well one use for a ubuntu cd is to save time and just use it to install gentoo... sigh i was liking ubuntu untill opengl decided it wasn't going to work for me
[07:35] <ic56> tanlaan: have the config file in your homedir, and hardcode the script to look for it there.  then the config file should refer to all the other places with respect to $HOME.  This way, everything is wrt to a system-provided variable -- which is a stable configuration -- even if you re-install and use a different username, it will still work.
[07:35] <Consty> opengl doesn't work?
[07:35] <Consty> works just fine fo rmy laptop and desktop.. weird
[07:36] <tanlaan> ahhh
[07:36] <tanlaan> makes sense
[07:36] <ic56> tanlaan: that's the unix way.
[07:36] <tanlaan> oo
[07:36] <ic56> tanlaan: :-)
[07:36] <tanlaan> one question, in the config file should i leave the .?
[07:36] <tanlaan> im guessing not
[07:36] <tach00_> has anyone had problems with their cd burner not working with dapper?
[07:37] <ic56> tanlaan: mmm which "."?  Give me a line number.  "cat -n" can report line numbers to help you point me in the right direction
[07:37] <ic56> tanlaan: I meant: cat -n <filename>
[07:38] <tanlaan> BIN=./bin
[07:38] <tanlaan> if i change it to BIN=/home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game/bin
[07:38] <tanlaan> i that right?
[07:39] <zosky> hey peeps
[07:39] <ic56> tanlaan: "./bin" is just a fancy way of saying "bin"  (though there is a specific context (i.e. when trying to bypass the $PATH) when that fancy way is essential.
[07:39] <ic56> tanlaan: Yes.  your new BIN= looks right
[07:39] <tanlaan> ok
[07:39] <Xen> Does anyone know how to install the KQemu accelerator on Ubuntu?
[07:40] <varsendaggr> hey xgl is cooler thatn any thing
[07:40] <varsendaggr> Xen, have you looked at the ubuntu wiki?
[07:40] <zosky> am working on a bash script and having probs with mplayer understanding stdin - can anyone help me ?
[07:40] <varsendaggr> i know there is a section in there for it. but i haven't done it   i use vmplayer
[07:41] <zosky> my script spits out a URL like this http://www.totaleclips.com/Player/Bounce.aspx?eclipid=e20056\&bitrateid=10\&vendorid=102\&affiliateId=
[07:42] <zosky> now if i run "mplayer -cache-min 5 -playlist" on a command line and follow it by the url it works
[07:42] <zosky> but if i end my script with 'mplayer -cache-min 5 -playlist -' mplayer crashes ??
[07:43] <tach00_> can someone just point me to the right forum about why cd burners dont work with dapper
[07:43] <varsendaggr> zosky, sorry dude
[07:43] <iceman> Can someone help me out with dep issues
[07:43] <iceman> ?
[07:43] <ic56> tanlaan: one more thing: ".conf" is a naming convention used for config files in .../etc directories.  For config files in /home/ic, the convention is to use .<packagename>rc  Either way works, but people have expectations and it makes life easier if things are as people expect them.
[07:43] <^richiefrich> iceman ?
[07:44] <No1Viking> Anyone know of a antivirus program that checks all the incoming and outgoing traffic in realtime?
[07:44] <ic56> tanlaan: /home/ic -> $HOME
[07:44] <tanlaan> ok
[07:44] <^richiefrich> No1Viking that be more like iptables
[07:44] <iceman> I'm trying to install gnome-splashscreen-manager but keep getting dependency issues.
[07:44] <ic56> tanlaan: cool.  Have fun! ttyl
[07:45] <No1Viking> ^richiefrich, that is a firewall, isnt it?
[07:45] <^richiefrich> yes
[07:45] <No1Viking> I'm lokking for a antivirus program that checks all the incoming and outgoing traffic in realtime
[07:45] <zosky> varsendaggr, i dont think this is an mplayer issue, i think its a syntax thing. since im passing a URL could bash be trapping special chars ? is thier any way i can tell the last command in a chain to accept stdin (-) in quotes ... litterly without interpretation ?
[07:45] <^richiefrich> u can tail-root
[07:45] <^richiefrich> No1Viking ^^
[07:45] <^richiefrich> the log files
[07:46] <EdLin> No1Viking: you can set iptables to log everything, but do you really want that?
[07:46] <^richiefrich> then i can watch waht u want
[07:46] <^richiefrich> antivirus is not what u want
[07:46] <No1Viking> Isnt there a daemon that takes care of the viruses in realtime, that checks all the traffic?
[07:47] <Paladine> No1Viking, what viruses?
[07:47] <Paladine> this isn't windows
[07:47] <EdLin> No1Viking: Linux has practically no viruses
[07:47] <^richiefrich> No1Viking why are u stuck on viruses
[07:47] <^richiefrich> u want a log
[07:47] <khaije1> lol

[07:48] <khaije1> oops :-/ hypo d'oh!
[07:48] <No1Viking> OK, gonna read about that somewhere
[07:48] <No1Viking> Thanks
[07:48] <^richiefrich> np
[07:48] <Paladine> the only virus my ubuntu box phears is when I get a cold
[07:48] <EdLin> there is something you should be concerned about, root kits, not viruses
[07:48] <Paladine> edlin, hehe that brings back memories lol
[07:49] <Paladine> the nick Imean
[07:49] <fontp> apt-get install hax
[07:49] <EdLin> Paladine: even Microsoft's line editor was an inferior product, but "ed" doesn't make a good nick. ;-)
[07:49] <tach00_> any reason why my cd burner software does nothing when i try to write something to disc
[07:50] <iceman> Anyone here have a good understanding on dependency on Ubuntu? I need some advice/help.
[07:50] <^richiefrich> tach00 test it with the CLI cdrecord
[07:50] <Paladine> EdLin, I had some fun with edlin when I was a wee young whipper snapper :)
[07:50] <^richiefrich> tach00 it's much nicer.. and what are u trying to burn ?
[07:50] <^richiefrich> tach00 iso mp3 CD  real wav CD DVD ?
[07:51] <EdLin> Paladine: I even used it as a primative version of patch(1) for a script that was distributed that way for Zcomm/Pro-YAM
[07:51] <EdLin> Paladine: that was cool
[07:51] <tach00_> richiefrich: anything, ive tried to burn data and iso, when it gets to the write screen, just sits on 0% all day, doing nothing
[07:51] <tach00_> whats much nicer

[07:52] <^richiefrich> tach00  try that man
[07:52] <Paladine> Edlin, I used it to write a funky batch script many many years ago which I installed on every system in our office (which was a government software testing department) to make all the screens flash funky colours and play the death march through the pc speaker flashing up that a virus had infected the network hehe
[07:53] <Paladine> my bosses didn;t find it overly amusing
[07:53] <Healot> the universe section of "dapper" repos, the one you need to enable, ice_1963
[07:53] <Paladine> but I about shat myself laughing ;)
[07:53] <tach00_> richiefrich: thanks
[07:53] <ice_1963> ok
[07:53] <konfuzed> should I use samba or scp or what across the LAN
[07:53] <^richiefrich> tach00 np  man those are all CLI

[07:57] <dli> xcham`, time to install debian :) too many stories about crashing ubuntu installer
[07:58] <t94xr> i cant find the packages
[07:58] <guli> igcek: skavenge: i was just wondering how you have it set up
[07:58] <t94xr> i did apt-get install ipkungfu
[07:58] <guli> i dont like how it is default
[07:58] <xcham`> dli: honestly considering it
[07:58] <Tmob> anyone know that tool which can securely wipe clean a harddrive?
[07:58] <EdLin> xcham`: does the alternate installer not work too?
[07:58] <t94xr> DBAM
[07:58] <xcham`> EdLin: What's the alternate installer
[07:58] <psyoptik> when I use websites that utilize the "localconnection" actionscript with flash, that function seems to not work at all, when it works fine on windows. Any idea?
[07:58] <t94xr> DBAN
[07:58] <xcham`> do I need to download the "alternate" ISO?
[07:58] <xcham`> I've got an AMD64 system.
[07:59] <dli> Tmob, define wipte clean? overwriting?
[07:59] <yggdrasi1> jowi you around ?
[07:59] <guli> xcham`: no, unless your computer is old
[07:59] <EdLin> xcham`: it's on the bottom half of the download page

[07:59] <jojoman02> anyone know a really quick simple gui http FILE server
[07:59] <Tmob> dli, selling a HDD.. so want to wipe all my info
[07:59] <JohnnyX> can someone help me, all the sudden i get a message when i try to play music that there is no audio output device
[07:59] <JohnnyX> how do i fix it
[07:59] <xcham`> EdLin: okay, do I have to download and burn a separate ISO?
[07:59] <EdLin> xcham`: yes
[07:59] <Tmob> dli, i read about it on /. a while ago.. just dont remember that tool :/
[07:59] <^richiefrich> jojoman02 what u mean a frontend ?
[08:00] <xcham`> EdLin: so what is the point of the "alernate" thing, exactly? I was using desktop
[08:00] <dli> Tmob, boot livecd, put the hdd in an enclosure, do something like, " cat /dev/zero > /dev/sda "
[08:00] <jojoman02> ^richiefrich: no a complete file server
[08:00] <hektik> when i got to my keyboard settings, nothing is listed.  any ideas?  i got a message box last time i restarted saying something about X or Gnome kb
[08:00] <^richiefrich> jojoman02 none that i know man
[08:00] <yggdrasi1> how can i get xorg to reconfigure ?
[08:00] <^richiefrich> jojoman02  u dont like apache
[08:00] <jojoman02> ^richiefrich: or an ftp file server will do too...
[08:00] <dli> yggdrasi1, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:00] <EdLin> xcham`: it's installer is somewhat more flexable and it works on hardware the desktop iso doesn't.
[08:00] <EdLin> xcham`: the latter is your problem
[08:01] <xcham`> I see.
[08:01] <t94xr> EdLin: what one can i use using apt-get in commandline?
[08:01] <jojoman02> ^richiefrich: apache is great if i wanted to run a web server but it's overkill, i just want to share a folder over the network (samba is driving me nuts)
[08:01] <JohnnyX> can any help?
[08:01] <^richiefrich> jojoman02 well then.. nfs
[08:01] <JohnnyX> it says no audio output device

[08:03] <yggdrasi1> i can get the gdm and xdm but when i log in it jsut gives me a console and then start the dm login again
[08:03] <JohnnyX> "This is an audio-only file, and there is no audio output available" thats the message i keep getting
[08:03] <Tmob> dli, http://wipe.sourceforge.net/
[08:04] <dli> Tmob, but why dd couldn't do it ?
[08:04] <EdLin> t94xr: uncomment the universe lines in /etc/apt/source.list and apt-get update, or do it in synaptic
[08:04] <EdLin> er, sources.list
[08:04] <JohnnyX> how do i get my sound back can someone please help
[08:04] <t94xr> oh ok brb
[08:04] <Tmob> dli, no, problem is you need to overwrite multiple time sin certain pattern to erase everything such that you can't recover using statictical analysis
[08:04] <t94xr> commandline server only though
[08:05] <Tmob> dli, i'm not totally aware of all the things they do to recover data, but i can't find the article on /.
[08:05] <EdLin> t94xr: editing sources.list in /etc/apt will work fine without a gui
[08:05] <EdLin> brb
[08:05] <dli> Tmob, sure, if you have some illegal stuff on it, you'd better burn it later
[08:06] <Tmob> dli, haha i hope i dont
[08:06] <Tmob> dli, but got work src..
[08:06] <dli> Tmob, or, dd if=/dev/urandom
[08:06] <t94xr> EdLin: got it
[08:06] <rob_p> Tmob, install the, 'wipe' command line utility to destructively erase files/directories.
[08:07] <EdLin> t94xr: well, you'll have to edit its files now
[08:07] <^richiefrich> jojoman02  why not gnump3d
[08:08] <^richiefrich> jojoman02 or u want to share more them music ?
[08:08] <hektik> sigh
[08:08] <t94xr> yep
[08:08] <t94xr> now is there a way to run the app?
[08:09] <^richiefrich> what app ?
[08:09] <t94xr> ipkungfu
[08:09] <^richiefrich> u can look at what it installed
[08:10] <EdLin> t94xr: you have to edit the config files before you run it
[08:10] <^richiefrich> and grep
[08:10] <t94xr> oh
[08:10] <t94xr> ok
[08:10] <jojoman02> ^richiefrich: i wanna share movies,
[08:10] <hektik> http://www.redhat.com/archives/k12osn/2005-August/msg00731.html <- this is what i got. i chose gnome and now i cant see any keyboard layouts.  any way to switch to "x settings" ?
[08:10] <^richiefrich> jojoman02 ahh ok.. so u see nfs in windows?
[08:10] <kabb> does ubuntu permanately delete files via the "rm" command
[08:10] <EdLin> t94xr: it's really not all that much easier for a simple setup than without a front end. I like it because its configuration is more wordy than the iptables command line
[08:11] <Hobbsee> kabb: as far as i know, yes
[08:11] <jojoman02> ^richiefrich: there are not any simple easy to use or free for that matter nfs clients on windows afaik from my 10 min of searching, (i read forum posting and wahtnot)
[08:11] <kabb> ok thanks
[08:11] <dli> kabb, rm doesn't use trashbin by default
[08:12] <dli> kabb, therefore, it's recommended to use nautilus to delete (to Trash)
[08:12] <^richiefrich> jojoman02 well ftp GUI's   --> axyftp easyftp nvemftp \pureadmin
[08:13] <^richiefrich> jojoman02  but it's so easy to set up one with no GUI
[08:13] <^richiefrich> jojoman02  u use vsftpd
[08:14] <TheMoebius> is it possible to use XGL/compiz with dual monitors?

[08:16] <JohnnyX> can someone help me with an audio problem
[08:16] <JohnnyX> i keep getting the message "This is an audio-only file, and there is no audio output available."
[08:16] <JohnnyX> when i try to play any ttype of file
[08:17] <animato> hello, any idea where i can find the xubuntu official wallpapers? i tried google but i just couldn't find them :(
[08:18] <Lynoure> animato: unofficial won't do?
[08:18] <animato> :)
[08:18] <animato> i want the default one that comes with it
[08:18] <JohnnyX> try synaptic animato
[08:18] <Lynoure> http://www.vivaolinux.com.br/wallpapers/verWallpaper.php?codigo=4795 looks pretty good
[08:18] <animato> that blue background
[08:19] <Lynoure> prolly cannot help then as I don't know what it looks like.
[08:19] <animato> oh right!
[08:19] <animato> xubuntu-art on syanptic!
[08:19] <animato> thanx johnnyx :0
[08:19] <animato> :)
[08:19] <JohnnyX> n/p
[08:20] <JohnnyX> can someone help me with my sound?
[08:21] <JohnnyX> how do i install my sound card again?
[08:21] <JohnnyX> it just stopped working
[08:22] <Enchanter> How to download the directory with "exam" using lftp?
[08:23] <tonyyarusso> Has anyone noticed Gaim taking a long time to close after selecting File > Quit lately?
[08:24] <baconbacon> JohnnyX: i don't know how to reconfigure sound (maybe sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base or alsa-utils)
[08:24] <[[pilot] ] > hi ppl
[08:24] <JohnnyX> when i try to open a file i get This is an audio-only file, and there is no audio output available.
[08:24] <EdLin> tonyyarusso: on some networks, such as IRC, the client *should* notify the network that its disconnecting
[08:24] <Kyozabe1> Hey, can someone give me the name of a somewhat cheap mic that works perfectly with Skype in Ubuntu?
[08:24] <alef0> I'd like to backup some files over the network using rsync. The problem is that I can't log in as root (the "ubuntu way"), but the files are readable only for root. I tried something like this, but it doesn't work: sudo rsync -axv -e "ssh -l non-root-user" root@source:/ local-target/  It asks me for a password, but doesn't accept the password for the non-root-user. Any ideas?
[08:24] <cute_bettong> whats better 802.11b or directly connecting to the router?
[08:25] <tonyyarusso> EdLin: Ah, true.  I have aim, msn, and jabber.  Jabber is the only recent addition - might it be that?
[08:25] <Gareth> cute_bettong, direct connection
[08:25] <baconbacon> cute_bettong: directly as in cable?
[08:25] <cute_bettong> yes cat 5e
[08:25] <EdLin> tonyyarusso: could be, I'm not familiar with Jabber
[08:25] <tonyyarusso> EdLin: Okay.  Sounds likely anyway.
[08:25] <Gareth> 802.11b is 11 Mbit, a cat5 connection would be 100 Mbit or better
[08:25] <baconbacon> cute_bettong: cat5 is faster and more reliable than wireless, if you can use it easily you should
[08:25] <cute_bettong> i was wondering if haveing some computers connected to the internet via the wifi on the router if  it was actually gonna slow it down
[08:26] <baconbacon> JohnnyX: if you want to check for harware issues you could boot a live cd and check sound
[08:26] <cute_bettong> yea i have both i was just wondering lol
[08:26] <JohnnyX> i dont know how or what to look for
[08:27] <baconbacon> JohnnyX: its unlikely that it's a hardware problem but if it is no configuration gonna solve that
[08:27] <[[pilot] ] > alef0: check your sshd_config file for PermitRootLogin or RTFM for OpenSSH
[08:27] <JohnnyX> what should i do?
[08:28] <[[pilot] ] > can anyone tell /me what target is ubuntu build for?
[08:28] <baconbacon> !tell johnnyx about sound
[08:29] <baconbacon> hmm
[08:30] <[[pilot] ] > is it really i386? i doubt they use it even in africa these days
[08:31] <mheath> ...Wow, so much elitism and stupidity, all rolled into one.
[08:31] <EdLin> [[pilot] ] : i386 means it runs on the entire 386 family.
[08:31] <TheMoebius> do I actually have to build the Xgl/compiz from CVS source as the guide describes online? Aren't there debs in the testing repositories?
[08:31] <mheath> Its kinda overwhelming.
[08:32] <TheMoebius> (for amd64)
[08:32] <[[pilot] ] > EdLin: i know ;)
[08:32] <[[pilot] ] > EdLin: but it also means it dows not use any of later cpus features
[08:32] <EdLin> [[pilot] ] : it really means 486 actually, recent kernels and GCC don't support 386 well.
[08:33] <mheath> [[pilot] ] , who told you that?
[08:33] <EdLin> [[pilot] ] : my first Linux, kernel 0.95, was running on a 386sx-16 with 4 megs of RAM and a 40 meg HD.
[08:33] <mheath> [[pilot] ] , there are VERY few core changes and feature additions to the x86 architecture.
[08:33] <[[pilot] ] > mheath: that was my question actually -- what build target and arch are used for ubuntu packages
[08:34] <EdLin> [[pilot] ] : the Pentium hadn't even been released I think, or if it had there was only the P60.
[08:34] <mheath> [[pilot] ] , There ARE, hwoever, quite a few _extensions_ the CPUs. Extensions are used by particular programs (like your video card driver, or a game or multimedia program), and do not require the entire software distribution to be compiled with support for them
[08:35] <EdLin> [[pilot] ] : Ubuntu might rhyme with Gentoo but the philosophy is not the same. ;-)
[08:35] <[[pilot] ] > EdLin: i ran At&T system V on the same hardware, at least tried, it did not run actually, it crawled...
[08:35] <Shigun> Problem.  I installed the xubuntu-desktop, and played around for alittle, didnt like it, so I uninstalled it, reinstalled ubuntu-desktop.  Now, my sound doesnt work anymore, sorta.  I can hear the login sound, but I cannot hear anything from amarok or firefox.
[08:35] <EdLin> [[pilot] ] : I had an account on a Microport SysV machine that was running (buggily) on a 286.
[08:37] <[[pilot] ] > EdLin: that can't be true! they say 286 had a bug in protected mode...
[08:37] <EdLin> [[pilot] ] : Microport was the only flavor of SysV for 286s, well, besides the one AT&T made for their own propritary computers.
[08:37] <[[pilot] ] > EdLin: at least that's what I read why OS/2 can't actually run on it
[08:37] <Madpilot> EdLin & [[pilot] ]  - you might want to join #ubuntu-offtopic to continue the chat about Jurrasice computers you have known ;)
[08:37] <EdLin> [[pilot] ] : it's true. It was more common to run it on Xenix or Minix or Coherant
[08:37] <Madpilot> s/Jurrasice/Jurrasic ;)
[08:38] <EdLin> [[pilot] ] : the protected mode wasn't "buggy", it just was limited
[08:38] <EdLin> [[pilot] ] : you had to deal with segments
[08:38] <[[pilot] ] > ok, it might be faster to research myself, my install disk download is already 90%
[08:38] <[[pilot] ] > thanks anyway!
[08:38] <Shigun> Anybody?  Kinda would like sound again
[08:38] <EdLin> Madpilot: sorry. :-)
[08:40] <Kyozabe1> Well? Any mic info?
[08:40] <[[pilot] ] > EdLin: yes, it was Microport, you are right! now I remember... it was like ages ago but in fact only 20 years or so...
[08:40] <Kyozabe1> Still need info on a cheap headset that works in Ubuntu and Skype
[08:40] <EdLin> [[pilot] ] : I'm right. As usual. ;-)
[08:41] <Ademan> where do your icons go?
[08:41] <Shigun> kyozable: Have you checked the skype linux forums?
[08:41] <Ademan> like the ones currently selected?
[08:41] <Shigun> I know they have made mention of some there before
[08:42] <[[pilot] ] > EdLin: and before that was UniSys System II Plus for 68000, gees taht one was good, but no XWindows
[08:42] <[[pilot] ] > EdLin: err, System III Plus ;0
[08:42] <MrMozart> hi! i just started running ubuntu and everything was working fine until now. I entered the wrong password with the sudo command too many times and now it just tells me that im not in the sudoers file. Can i be removed from there if I type the wrong password too many times?
[08:42] <EdLin> [[pilot] ] : the 68Ks were better suited for *nix than 286s
[08:42] <Madpilot> MrMozart, not as far as I know. In a terminal, type "groups" - is "admin" in the line you get back?
[08:43] <EdLin> [[pilot] ] : I'm on #ubuntu-offtopic now... :-)
[08:43] <MrMozart> madpilot: no
[08:43] <LiraNuna> hello
[08:43] <Tmob> my suspend/resume doesn't resume the X properly... it hangs up after it powers on.. anyone nkow how to fix this? i'm usnig it on a Dell d410 lapto
[08:43] <[[pilot] ] > EdLin: yes that bird flied even with 256KB memory
[08:43] <LiraNuna> i am trying to install libc6
[08:43] <LiraNuna> and it fails...
[08:44] <MrMozart> madpilot: hm i was changing something with groups the otherday to add cvsgroup, can I have removed admin :P
[08:44] <EdLin> [[pilot] ] : the 68K was designed for Unix
[08:44] <bill[1] > normally when I install ubuntu dapper, it detects my sound card, but this time it didn't.  Is there a way to force it to redo the hardware detection?
[08:44] <Madpilot> MrMozart, could be, I guess
[08:44] <[[pilot] ] > brb
[08:44] <LiraNuna> this is what it says
[08:44] <LiraNuna> http://rafb.net/paste/results/0QfJpi66.html
[08:44] <MrMozart> madpilot: is there any rescue then or do i need to reinstall everything?
[08:45] <Shigun> Ok, issue now:  XMMS works.  Amarok doesnt.  It just skips through the songs.  Thoughts?
[08:45] <LiraNuna> i tried to use the fix option
[08:45] <Madpilot> MrMozart, no, you can rescue. Just a minute, I need to look the commands up for you.
[08:45] <ic56> anyone here from Namibia?
[08:46] <LiraNuna> if i use the fix command, i get this: http://rafb.net/paste/results/q0T2dn89.html
[08:46] <Ademan> when i do a search in nautilus it doesn't seem to be searching recursively, do i have to specify that?
[08:47] <Sjoerd_> hi, anyone that running a webserver can tell me what permissions apache logs should have?
[08:47] <LiraNuna> Ademan: use the terminal: find <location> -r | grep <name>
[08:47] <Ademan> LiraNuna: thanks, is it possible to use wildcards in that? (like *) ?
[08:47] <LiraNuna> yes
[08:47] <Ademan> thanks
[08:47] <LiraNuna> np
[08:48] <LiraNuna> someone have successfully installed libc6 ?
[08:48] <LiraNuna> i allways get errors..
[08:48] <LiraNuna> i got 2 broken packages, and when i try to fix them, i get this
[08:48] <LiraNuna> http://rafb.net/paste/results/q0T2dn89.html
[08:49] <Ademan> are you doing it through apt-get?
[08:49] <LiraNuna> yes
[08:49] <Flannel> Sjoerd_: the apache2 folder is 755 (root:root), the logs themselves are... 500 root:adm
[08:49] <ic56> LiraNuna, Adman: that's an invalid command.  Should be: find <location> -name '*<name>*'
[08:50] <Sjoerd_> ok thanks flannel
[08:50] <Flannel> Sjoerd_: er, 600, not 500.
[08:50] <LiraNuna> ic56: oh, sorry. i'm used to use grep
[08:50] <Sjoerd_> Flannel: You sure :) ?
[08:50] <Ademan> LiraNuna: seems like apt is broken...
[08:50] <LiraNuna> Ademan: got an idea how can i fix those?
[08:50] <ic56> LiraNuna: the problem that drew my attention isn't the use of grep but the non-existent -r flag to find
[08:50] <LiraNuna> i need libc for development
[08:50] <Flannel> Sjoerd_: no.  They're 540.  rw-r-----
[08:50] <Flannel> Sjoerd_: but, now I'm sure ;)
[08:50] <Sjoerd_> thanks
[08:51] <LiraNuna> ic56: isn't -r means recursive?
[08:51] <Ademan> normally
[08:51] <Ademan> actually
[08:51] <Ademan> isnt it
[08:51] <Ademan> -R
[08:51] <Ademan> ?
[08:51] <LiraNuna> oh wait
[08:51] <Ademan> sorry, i'm multi-lining it, my apologies
[08:51] <LiraNuna> find searches recursivly by default
[08:51] <ic56> LiraNuna: In some commands, -r indeed means recursive.  find isn't one of those commands.  Find only has *one* mode of operation: recursive.  There's no flag to specify it.
[08:51] <LiraNuna> find | grep name
[08:52] <LiraNuna> ic56: thanks for clearing that up
[08:52] <ic56> LiraNuna: yw!
[08:53] <hektik> anyone know why no keyboard layouts show up in my keyboard settings?
[08:53] <baconbacon> -r, -R when -r is already used :S
[08:53] <Ademan> hey guys, is there a SUSE LiveCD ? i found a live DVD but i don't have dvds to burn to.  Either way, i was wanting to try out Xgl + compiz but not actually install them... and i heard the SUSE liveCD did that
[08:53] <Lynoure> Ademan: No idea, sorry, maye suse site will tell you. And there might even be #suse
[08:54] <Ademan> also, does ubuntu maintain a set of symlinks to the current icon theme?
[08:57] <LiraNuna> can someone help me fix libc's intallation?
[08:57] <Shigun> ugh, still needing some help.  XMMS plays music, plays it fine.  Amarok doesnt.  I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it, no luck
[08:57] <Sjoerd_> Flannel: For a chance, are you running awstats as well?
[08:57] <metrol> Shigun: have you messed around with which engine Amarok is using?
[08:57] <Flannel> Sjoerd_: nope
[08:58] <Madpilot> MrMozart, sorry for the delay. You'll need to reboot your machine - hit ESC during the restart to get into Grub, and choose the Recovery Console. in that, do "adduser MrMozart admin" then "shutdown -r now" - replace MrMozart with your actual user name
[08:58] <Shigun> metrol: It uses xine, the same engine its always used.  I never had an issue before today
[08:58] <Hajuu> Hey guys
[08:59] <metrol> Shigun: Perhaps you could try pointing it to something like gstreamer?  Just grasping at straws here
[08:59] <metrol> I haven't config'd amarok on Ubuntu in a while
[08:59] <metrol> I recall it was kinda clever to get going
[08:59] <Hajuu> I have an issue ive had once before that resolved itself... Um.. My ctrl+c and the like shortcuts dont work in anything (gedit, xterm etc etc) and instead just types the letter.. any ideas?
[08:59] <Shigun> metrol: How would I do that?  I really dont see *why*, though.  I have it setup.  It points to the device labeled 'default', as that is what my asound.conf points to
[09:00] <metrol> Shigun: Just offering up a few things to try is all.  I'm not the all knowing expert you were hoping to find here :(
[09:00] <Shigun> metrol: Kinda need alittle bit more support, as it seems to be affecting sound in other programs too =\ Thank you though
[09:01] <MrMozart> Madpilot: ok, thanks alot!!
[09:01] <cyphase> woohoo!
[09:01] <cyphase> it was very easy actually
[09:01] <Madpilot> cyphase, shiny :)
[09:02] <rudolph> Could anyone help with errors upon installing Ubuntu?
[09:02] <metrol> Had to steal my old config from FreeBSD to get it to work though :(
[09:02] <cyphase> i just followd the guide on the doc site
[09:02] <miguelsr> hey some of yours use azureus?
[09:02] <cyphase> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo
[09:02] <LiraNuna> someone got libc6 installed? i can't install new packages...
[09:02] <LiraNuna> i got two broken packagage
[09:02] <metrol> cyphase: it gets a little more clever when you're using the Nvidia drivers
[09:03] <metrol> Xinerama isn't the route to go with that
[09:03] <cyphase> metrol, i am using the nvidia driver
[09:03] <LiraNuna> calling apt-get install -f doesn't work...
[09:03] <cyphase> that guide won't work without it
[09:03] <cyphase> :)
[09:03] <metrol> cyphase: cool!
[09:03] <cyphase> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo
[09:04] <metrol> Hmm, I think I had something similar to that on my BSD box... for some reason I can't recall I used another config I found somewhere
[09:04] <metrol> Plopped it into Ubuntu... sort of... and it seems to be working pretty nice
[09:04] <bulltitan> hi
[09:04] <rudolph> I need help installing Ubuntu please.
[09:04] <metrol> rudolph: you might want to start with a specific question
[09:04] <ZhangZhong> Please tell me how can I use my Pocket PC in Ubuntu? It can't be connected
[09:05] <cyphase> hopefully edgy will have a good X config GUI
[09:05] <cyphase> :P
[09:05] <bulltitan> i have a script here that uses the command lndir but the terminal shows an error and something about the command not found
[09:05] <Gareth> heh I love the irony there cyphase
[09:05] <bulltitan> is lndir same as ln?
[09:05] <cyphase> ;)
[09:05] <metrol> cyphase: ALL of these *nix's could use one! :)
[09:06] <miguelsr> hey some of yours use azureus?
[09:06] <rudolph> Ok, I installed the system but upon boot when it says that it is uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernal, it just freezes and does nothing.
[09:06] <kabb> anyone know where to find a good Windows 98 ISO
[09:06] <bulltitan> any help with this lndir thing?
[09:06] <wenko> the garbage
[09:06] <metrol> rudolph: are you able to hit ESC and get to the grub menu?
[09:07] <Ademan> is there any way to manually set an icon so that it will change according to the current theme?
[09:07] <ic56> bulltitan: yes on lndir.  Ask more specifically.
[09:07] <EdLin> "lndir" doesn't make sense, ln -s will make a symbolic link from a directory to another place, and regular ln won't do it because making a hard link to a directory is a good way to foul up your  filesystem
[09:07] <ZhangZhong> Anyone could help  me how can I use my Pocket PC in Ubuntu?
[09:07] <rudolph> Once that message appears, I have only a flashing curser and escape does not function.
[09:07] <Lynoure> kabb: you can buy them for very little money. This is not the kind of channel where you could get warez
[09:08] <metrol> rudolph: You just jumped WAY outta my league
[09:08] <bulltitan> i see
[09:08] <Shigun> metrol: got it.  Either has something to do with me rebuilding the playlist, or installing a few of the libxine packages
[09:08] <bulltitan> well that command is used by the installed playstation emu
[09:08] <cyphase> wow, long screenshot..
[09:08] <cyphase> :D
[09:08] <metrol> EdLin: Is there anything like BSD's mount_nullfs in Ubuntu?
[09:08] <rudolph> I have re-installed it a couple of times but I still get the same result upon boot.
[09:08] <bulltitan> after you install the one in the repos that is the initial script
[09:08] <metrol> Shigun: Wicked cool!
[09:08] <Sjoerd_> where do i get deb files for ubuntu?
[09:08] <LiraNuna> can someone help me fix libc6 ?
[09:09] <Sjoerd_> the page where they are listed
[09:09] <Shigun> cyphase: Soon, I wil have a dual monitor setup as well.  Dell 2007FPW 20.1" Widescreen, plus 17" Balance LCD
[09:09] <ic56> EdLin: lndir is what one uses to foul up that filesystem ;-)
[09:09] <cyphase> nice
[09:09] <EdLin> metrol: I don't know what nullfs is...
[09:09] <Sjoerd_> nevermind google fount it forme: http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[09:09] <LiraNuna> can someone help me fix libc6 ?
[09:10] <LiraNuna> i get errors when trying to autofix and can't install more packages
[09:10] <metrol> EdLin: It allows you to mount a directory (within the same partition) onto another directory.  Much more seemless than a symbolic link, and with the hassles of a hard link
[09:10] <metrol> Doesn't survive a reboot though
[09:10] <bulltitan> ic56 this is one of the lines inside pcsx emu "lndir -silent /usr/lib/games/psemu/lib		Plugin"
[09:10] <cyphase> bu both at once..
[09:10] <cyphase> anyone tried it?
[09:10] <Hajuu> I have an issue ive had once before that resolved itself... Um.. My ctrl+s and the like shortcuts dont work in anything (gedit, xterm etc etc) and instead just types the letter.. any ideas?
[09:10] <EdLin> *with* the hassles of a hard link? ;-)
[09:11] <cyphase> oooooooh
[09:11] <cyphase> a top/bottom/etc panel for each screen
[09:11] <metrol> http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mount_nullfs&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.1-RELEASE&format=html
[09:11] <bulltitan> o ki think i made a mistake installing that crappy emulator
[09:12] <baconbacon> Hajuu: ctrl+shift+s?
[09:12] <metrol> Hmm, that man page over complicates it a bit
[09:12] <bulltitan> a mistake easy to solve
[09:12] <igcek> has anybody tried a game 3dchess?
[09:12] <ic56> EdLin, bulltitan.  I'd forgotten about that. Just checked the manpage: lndir doesn't make hardlinks.  It makes parallel symlink trees -- like for setting up a build hierarchy from a source hierarchy
[09:12] <metrol> Kinda like symbolic links, you never know you needed 'em until you got 'em... then it gets hard to think of them not being there
[09:12] <bulltitan> i see
[09:13] <Sjoerd_> anyone using midnight commander? It seems broken for me.. The screen is filled with aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa instead of normal lines?
[09:13] <bulltitan> so i'll give it a chance to see if i can solve it and make it roll
[09:13] <MrMozart> how can I setup VNC so that i can login remotly without needing a local session already started? (I want to be able to login remotley from that the machine boots)
[09:13] <EdLin> ic56, metrol sounds like a neat feature.
[09:13] <bulltitan> use tux commander is better
[09:14] <ic56> bullitan: that lndir is creating a directory tree under 'Plugin", that appears to contain the entire directory tree from /usr/lib/games/psemu/lib
[09:14] <ic56> bulltitan: that lndir is creating a directory tree under 'Plugin", that appears to contain the entire directory tree from /usr/lib/games/psemu/lib
[09:14] <metrol> EdLin: There's a stack of stuff I'm really getting excited about playing with on Linux that BSD doesn't have... but oh man I think I'm already missing some of them BSD toys
[09:14] <metrol> There's just no pleasing me :)
[09:14] <bulltitan> but it gives an error message of command not found what is wrong
[09:15] <bulltitan> in terminal i mean
[09:15] <bulltitan> otherwise does nothing
[09:15] <ic56> bulltitan: yea. lndir isn't in the default install. hang on...
[09:15] <bulltitan> ok
[09:15] <EdLin> metrol: what excites you most about Linux?
[09:16] <metrol> EdLin: The NFS trials I ran blew me away for starters... wicked quick
[09:16] <Healot> it makes me thorny
[09:16] <metrol> Other aspects of mounting are a LOT more flexible on Linux
[09:16] <Shigun> Anybody know why I get *no* sound in firefox?
[09:16] <metrol> More user level control rather than needing root to work with devices
[09:16] <EdLin> metrol: NFS is something a lot of Unices don't get right.
[09:16] <Shigun> flash or streaming video, that is
[09:16] <jojoman02> if anyone is having problems with samba sharing just know that ubiquity defualts for mounts (in fstab) don't work with samba (Change to umask=0000)
[09:16] <Healot> !flash
[09:16] <bulltitan> don't sweat it ic56 just tell me if it is a package i can get googleing
[09:16] <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
[09:16] <metrol> FreeBSD used to... but OH MAN is it messed up on 6.1
[09:17] <metrol> Got me looking at some flavor of Linux in a big hurry
[09:17] <Shigun> Healot: Already have the restricted formats installed, as well as an asound.conf setup
[09:17] <ic56> bulltitan. right... lndir used to ship with X11.  Apparetnlly it still does, at least in XF86 under Debian, but not in Ubuntu.
[09:17] <Shigun> Healot: It plays and all fine, I just get no sound from it
[09:17] <jojoman02> omg 666 users, ubuntu is the devil, lol... j/k...
[09:17] <bulltitan> i see i'll search fot it man thanks a lot
[09:17] <baconbacon> :o
[09:17] <EdLin> metrol: FreeBSD at one time was better in some ways than Linux, but 5.x and 6.x have ben an unmitigated train wreck
[09:18] <ic56> bulltitan: yw!
[09:18] <metrol> EdLin: I wouldn't go that far, there's been some really cool things going on over there too
[09:18] <Paladine> EVIL!!!!
[09:18] <Paladine> 666 users in the channel
[09:18] <EdLin> s/ben/been/
[09:18] <Healot> Shigun: what version of flash movie are you playing?
[09:18] <metrol> Just gotta wonder what the heck is going on when NFS locking is known broken for over 4 months without a fix
[09:18] <SS2> Paladine: not anymore :)
[09:19] <Healot> can you actually get sound from playing other media format? Shigun
[09:19] <ic56> bulltitan: it's a simple utility.  You could whip up the basic functionality in a couple lines of bash code.
[09:19] <baconbacon> we're safe ... for now!
[09:19] <metrol> I'll brb
[09:19] <bulltitan> great
[09:19] <jojoman02> after i leave it will be 666 (which is right now)
[09:20] <Shigun> Healot: I get no sound from firefox at all.  Other applications play sound fine
[09:20] <baconbacon> ok im out , good night (EVIL IS BACK!)
[09:20] <Healot> Shigun: which site are you dl'ing the file?
[09:20] <metrol> One thing I'm loving about Linux here is the ability to actually use Flash 7... never had any FreeBSD luck with that
[09:20] <bulltitan> hey i have something to remember here,... more like a photo,... bill gates and steve jobs :P
[09:21] <Shigun> Healot: Right now, youtube for a music vid
[09:21] <Johnmikerson> im having severe video issues
[09:21] <Healot> Shigun: give the url, and let me find out why?
[09:21] <Paladine> metrol, tell that to 64bit users
[09:21] <Healot> I can listen to youtube movie
[09:21] <metrol> Paladine: I JUST bought a new box, and stuck with the Pentium D for that very reason
[09:21] <Healot> watching the school girl fight right now
[09:21] <metrol> Seemed like nobody is having much 64-bit fun from Adobe
[09:21] <Shigun> Healot: o.o schoolgirl fight?  k, interesting.  But, no sound at all for me, from any online source
[09:22] <Paladine> thereis a 32bit wrapper available now for flash plugin, but still not 64bit flash
[09:22] <dbaker> hello. I have an sound card that I need to reconfigure in alsa...anyone know how to do that?
[09:22] <metrol> I originally bought this box with FreeBSD in mind... then I started running Linux distros through it
[09:22] <metrol> So far, really liking Ubuntu
[09:23] <metrol> Not so hot on Gnome... mostly wish I could configure the mouse a bit more
[09:23] <Shigun> Healot: I've tried killing esd, using aoss, no luck on either
[09:23] <Paladine> metro that reminds me I need to update my world on my freebsd box
[09:23] <bulltitan> the only thing i don't like about ubuntu is that i'm not able to play dvds even after following the restricted howto step by step
[09:23] <Healot> I use alsa
[09:23] <Shigun> Healot: As do I
[09:23] <metrol> bulltitan: Have you tried playing with kmplayer?
[09:23] <Shigun> Healot: But, no sound, regardless
[09:24] <metrol> I can't get totem to work for a DVD, but KMPlayer works great
[09:24] <bulltitan> hum not really but i have mplayer that works full with all but dvds
[09:24] <EdLin> metrol: do you like KDE? Kubuntu uses it by default (and it can be installed from Ubuntu as well, kubuntu-desktop + the file for kubuntu themes (forgot what its called)
[09:24] <davro> anyone else having problems with X locking
[09:24] <Shigun> Healot: Wait, I take that back, I have sound from streaming video, but nothing from flash still
[09:24] <metrol> EdLin: I'm normally a KDE user, but I thought I'd give Gnome as fair a try out as I could
[09:24] <Healot> Shigun: used the nonfree flash or the gpl'd flasj
[09:25] <metrol> Mostly if I could get my mouse working like it did in KDE I'd be about 90% there
[09:25] <Shigun> Healot: nonfree flash installed.  gpl'd flash installed as well, but when I removed the nonfree, I got a message about not having the latest flash
[09:25] <t94xr> whats the command to uninstall ipkungfu ?
[09:25] <Shigun> t94xr: try 'sudo apt-get remove ipkungfu'
[09:25] <bulltitan> totem player has a loong way to transit to be a good player yet ,... sad to say
[09:25] <davro> sudo apt-get remove ipkungfu --purge
[09:25] <metrol> Stuff like Alt-Right click to resize a window, or middle click the maximize button for vertical max only
[09:25] <bulltitan> and i mean looooong
[09:25] <EdLin> metrol: maybe you can install the KDE program that adjusts the mouse, and use it within GNOME if you like what you see.
[09:25] <KenSentMe|afk> How do i become a ubuntero on launchpad?
[09:26] <metrol> EdLin: I sincerely doubut it'd be that easy
[09:26] <metrol> Mouse actions are pretty core to the window manager in use
[09:26] <EdLin> metrol: nm, I see what you're missing now
[09:26] <metrol> Besides, I have yet to begin to fail to customize Gnome to my liking :)
[09:27] <EdLin> metrol: I thought you meant something else, not window manager stuff.
[09:27] <bimberi> KenSentMe|afk: Sign the Code of Conduct - link on LHS of your launchpad page
[09:27] <SS2> how can I check up if a modem is running?
[09:27] <metrol> I used to not like Gnome because I thought it was just ugly... man have they ever fixed that!
[09:27] <metrol> Gnome looks pretty sweet these days
[09:28] <EdLin> metrol: yeah, GNOME 2.x compared to 1.x is like night and day.
[09:28] <SS2> metrol: it is sweeter as sugar ;)
[09:28] <bulltitan> have you seen the main menu in fedora core? it uses gnome right?
[09:28] <EdLin> brb, I just apt-getted a new kernel.
[09:28] <SS2> anyway, is there a way to find out if a modem is running on a laptop?
[09:29] <bimberi> KenSentMe|afk: also this - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto
[09:29] <metrol> Thing is, it was easier to deploy KDE to end users at work because of the kiosk abilities in KDE
[09:29] <Shigun> Healot: Yea, cant use the gpl'd flash (libflash, libflash-mozplugin) as they throw an error about not being the latest version
[09:29] <ic56> bulltitan: still need an lndir?  I whipped one up...
[09:29] <metrol> Shigun: On the best of days those libs don't work right anyway
[09:29] <KenSentMe|afk> bimberi: ah, thanx. I did become one, but i didn't know what caused it :)
[09:30] <bulltitan> i have it ;) thanks it works like charm now
[09:30] <Shigun> metrol: Recommendation then?
[09:30] <Ademan> how can i give samba access to "local users" you know? so someone with the username and password information that matches a local user can login and modify files
[09:30] <bulltitan> but i don't have any playstation games to play with lol
[09:30] <ic56> bulltitan: Ah!  Where did you find it?
[09:30] <metrol> Shigun: is that the adobe plugins you're referring to, or the free ones?
[09:30] <bimberi> KenSentMe|afk: ah, np :)
[09:31] <bimberi> Ademan: sudo smbpasswd -a <username>
[09:31] <bulltitan> let me see if i have that url cos i've closed the browser
[09:31] <metrol> You need Adobe Flash for darn near anythying out in the wild
[09:31] <Shigun> metrol: libflash-nonfree works, but I get no sound
[09:31] <ic56> bulltitan: not important.
[09:31] <bulltitan> ok
[09:31] <Healot> watching scary movie trailer on you tube
[09:31] <Shigun> Healot: You are just taunting me now =P
[09:31] <u221e> I just installed ubuntu 6.06 and found that I have 3d acceleration by default (ATI 9600XT)... what driver would ubuntu be using?
[09:31] <Healot> and playingdvd at the same time, and i have sound from both
[09:31] <metrol> Shigun: I've been having glitchy problems with that too.  Sometimes I get sound, others I don't
[09:31] <ic56> bulltitan: I was just curious whether you went to the X repository or picked up a copy from an unverified source
[09:31] <metrol> Lots of rebooting :)
[09:32] <intelligi> I just used Snyaptic to download Macromedia Flash, and it still isn't working in my browser.
[09:32] <intelligi> What gives?
[09:32] <Ademan> bimberi thanks
[09:32] <bulltitan> i just typed the lndir word in google and well a lot of things appeared
[09:32] <bimberi> Ademan: np :)
[09:32] <Ademan> do i need to restart samba after that? or am i good to go?
[09:33] <metrol> intelligi: in Firefox put "about:plugins" in the URL bar and see if it shows up
[09:33] <ic56> bulltitan: Ah. you never noticed where you got it from.  Was it an ubuntu package or a naked binary?
[09:33] <bimberi> Ademan: not sure.  I guess you'll find out pretty soon :)
[09:33] <bulltitan> so i picked up a site don't remember which one that had a file said to contain lndir and well the rest is history
[09:33] <intelligi> No, it doesn't.
[09:33] <bulltitan> not ubuntu package
[09:33] <ic56> bulltitan: not a .deb ?
[09:33] <bulltitan> nop
[09:33] <ic56> bulltitan: cool. good to know. thx
[09:34] <bulltitan> yw
[09:34] <metrol> intelligi: This is what stinks about changing platforms... on BSD I could tell ya right where to look :(
[09:34] <metrol> Hmmm, gimme a sec
[09:34] <Ademan> wierd, my everywhere EXCEPT when i connected to my gnome server, i have my new themed icons
[09:34] <zdux0012> can someone help me to install vlc ? apt-get tells me it cannot find the package
[09:34] <bimberi> !info vlc
[09:34] <ubotu> vlc: multimedia player for all audio and video formats. In repository universe, is optional. Version 0.8.4.debian-1ubuntu6 (dapper), package size 7620 kB, installed size 18808 kB
[09:34] <bimberi> zdux0012: you'll need to enable the universe repository
[09:35] <bimberi> !universe > zdux0012
[09:35] <snoops> is there a way to map two mouse buttons to the same event? Say middle click and left click are mapped so middle click triggers a left click, as well as left click triggering a left click?
[09:35] <metrol> Sure enough, I'm still totally lost in this file system :)
[09:35] <bimberi> !files
[09:35] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html - file permissions are explained at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[09:35] <bimberi> :)
[09:36] <bulltitan> i was a bit scared the first time i installed mplayer cos it dropped an error when changin the video to xv instead default but with gl works ok
[09:36] <metrol> bimberi: Thanks!  I'll read it through
[09:36] <bulltitan> i mean mplayer rocks
[09:36] <bimberi> metrol: yw :)
[09:36] <metrol> BTW, the browser plugins are in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/
[09:37] <metrol> Should be a flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so in there or you don't get Flash
[09:37] <Shigun> got it, Healot
[09:37] <Shigun> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204022&highlight=flash+sound
[09:37] <Healot> what did you do?
[09:37] <bulltitan> now that you bring that up metrol i have to say that flash sound is totally ugly and i tryed the restricted way
[09:37] <Healot> i jsut install the non-free flash...
[09:38] <Healot> works after i restart konq and firefox
[09:38] <Shigun> Healot: I have the non-free flash, its the only one that works
[09:38] <Healot> yeah
[09:38] <Healot> sure it is
[09:38] <metrol> bulltitan: Still better than being stuck on version 6 of Flash in BSD land :)
[09:38] <metrol> I can actually watch Google Video!!  WooHoo! :)
[09:39] <bulltitan> sure or with no sound at all :P
[09:39] <Shigun> Healot: Sound is out of sync with video now @.@
[09:39] <snoops> so anyway have an idea how I can do that?
[09:39] <zdux0012> can I ask for some help with installing vlc ?
[09:39] <metrol> bulltitan: I seem to have been able to reboot out of problems with that over the last couple of days of playing
[09:40] <Healot> Shigun: I wasn't doing anything like the thread says, it work automagically after flash installed
[09:40] <metrol> Like some other service has a lock on the audio device
[09:40] <snoops> xmodmap throws an error if I try to set two key numbers with the in different positions
[09:40] <Shigun> Healot: I hate you, just so you know =P
[09:40] <snoops> zdux0012 have universe repository enabled then simply sudo apt-get install vlc
[09:40] <Healot> you used esd output previously?
[09:40] <Healot> coz, i use alsa all the way
[09:40] <bulltitan> :D no problems like that in ubuntu lucky me i guess
[09:41] <metrol> Heck, I don't know what kind of audio backend I'm using right now! :)
[09:41] <intelligi> What is the default installation path of Firefox?
[09:41] <Shigun> Healot: ESD out is still going, but I use alsa for everything I use
[09:41] <metrol> Ahh, the beautiful ignorance of just barely grasping what I'm using here :)
[09:42] <zdux0012> snoops: I uncommented the universe lines but I could still not find the package
[09:42] <snoops> you'd think remapping keys would be easy.. but no :(
[09:42] <bulltitan> aim low 3 months out of win drug
[09:42] <snoops> zdux0012 if you uncommented it, you need to reload the list of repositories in apt.. 'sudo apt-get update'
[09:42] <mc__> !easysource > zdux0012
[09:42] <bulltitan> still a bit surprised how good ubuntu works
[09:42] <metrol> bulltitan: Same here
[09:43] <bulltitan> no but i mean it i'm starting to like it ,.. i even ordered 5 cds for my friends
[09:43] <intelligi> Me too.
[09:43] <mikere> Ubuntu installed perfectly and recognized all my hardware on my asus z71v laptop.
[09:43] <metrol> Still, for someone looking to learn Unix I think one of the BSD's is a good place to start.  Mostly because they don't provide the ease of use like Ubuntu does
[09:43] <intelligi> Anyway, installing Macromedia Flash player...what is the default installation path for FireFox?
[09:44] <EdLin> metrol: slackware is like that too
[09:44] <metrol> intelligi: Looks like /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/
[09:44] <Healot> I can't remember the path, whereis firefox settles that
[09:44] <metrol> EdLin: I've heard folks say that about Slackware... as well as Debian
[09:44] <zdux0012> snoops: thanks that did it,, I thought update updated the system, and I assumed that the file was checked each time apt-get was used
[09:45] <mc__> Gentoo is also good for learning
[09:45] <metrol> Debian installation guide scared me away :)
[09:45] <mikere> metrol: debian's really dead easy to install
[09:45] <bulltitan> once in ubuntu forum i've read something about slackware like mayor thing not for beginners right?
[09:45] <EdLin> metrol: Debian takes care of more things than Slack, though it's extra tools are all command-line
[09:45] <snoops> zdux0012 nah ;) well cool though.. I like vlc too
[09:45] <metrol> mikere: Not saying it isn't... just the guide looked scary :)
[09:45] <bulltitan> is it so hard to get it to work?
[09:46] <EdLin> metrol: I like Debian pretty much, I have both Debian and Ubuntu installed ATM.
[09:46] <mc__> bulltitan, only if you are really really smart
[09:46] <bulltitan> lol
[09:46] <metrol> I started moving away from Windows with RH 6.0... nice taste of things at the time, but I didn't really learn how to get around Unix
[09:46] <metrol> My fault, not red hat's
[09:46] <Shigun> I learned in a painful way: Gentoo Linux
[09:47] <cyne> hello! i've setup samba and can connect to my ubuntu machine with XP box.. but it won't accept my username/password... any ideas?
[09:47] <mc__> Shigun, everyone should have taken that way once
[09:47] <metrol> For whatever reason, I really dug BSD straight off
[09:47] <snoops> metrol changed a bit since then eh?
[09:47] <Healot> Gentoo has bi/multiarch now... currently compilation is the pain
[09:47] <mc__> metrol, NetBSD is nice
[09:47] <Shigun> That CLI install scared the hell out of me, but I got it right on my second install, and never looked back.  Just played with different distro's.  Ubuntu and Gentoo are certainly my fav
[09:47] <EdLin> metrol: BSD is very nice, it's too bad that FreeBSD seems to be getting worse.
[09:47] <spikeb> Shigun: same here.
[09:48] <spikeb> Shigun: ubuntu/debian are the only two binary distros I can stand.
[09:48] <metrol> snoops: Only just recently... stuff like NFS screw ups recently, and wanting some hardware like an OfficeJet has me looking this way
[09:48] <Shigun> spikeb: completely understood and agreed
[09:48] <bulltitan> i remember the first time i tryed solaris,... in a irc channel they told me "you need to have some skills to use it" that was my extense experience with solaris
[09:48] <metrol> There's still a LOT I like about FreeBSD stuff... Jails, PF, the ports tree, and just a familarity I have with it
[09:49] <EdLin> I've tried Solaris 10, good OS, bad ancient userland.
[09:49] <davidjohnston> so I have a few older boxes that I am debating installing Ubuntu server on....one would be a development server for my web projects in PHP or RoR, the other would be a subversion server
[09:49] <EdLin> metrol: yeah, IPF or PF are much nicer than iptables
[09:49] <metrol> Always wanted to play in Solaris land
[09:49] <davidjohnston> so do you all think I'm making the right decision on Ubuntu server for this
[09:49] <metrol> EdLin: I thought I read somewhere about PF on Linux?
[09:50] <EdLin> metrol: not that I know of
[09:50] <bulltitan> i think i'll stick to ubuntu and maybe beos for some fun
[09:50] <metrol> PF is wicked wicked wicked cool stuff... them some smart fellers in OpenBSD land :)
[09:50] <davidjohnston> Anyone in here use Ubuntu Server??
[09:51] <bulltitan> u mean nubuntu?
[09:51] <Healot> the server install CD...
[09:51] <Healot> i guess there are some...
[09:51] <davidjohnston> i don't know...i'm just starting to look into Ubuntu...so probably
[09:51] <bulltitan> my mistake nubuntu is not that :P
[09:51] <davidjohnston> yea the server install cd
[09:51] <davidjohnston> that's what I downloaded
[09:51] <davidjohnston> Healot:  do you use it
[09:52] <metrol> davidjohnston: I just installed the desktop, then manually added the servers I wanted.  No idea if that was a good or bad thing
[09:52] <Healot> for customers yes... like 3 servers atm
[09:52] <metrol> Just starting to evaluate it for serving stuff myself for work
[09:52] <metrol> Mostly E-Mail and chat to start with
[09:52] <davidjohnston> metrol:  from what I can tell the only difference would be that it comes more lightweight
[09:53] <Healot> what's the probleme you encountered so far, davidjohnston?
[09:53] <metrol> davidjohnston: That'd be my guess.  Was looking to try that very CD here next week
[09:53] <davidjohnston> healot:  do you think it is a good server system then...I couldn't find many details...does it use a gui
[09:53] <Paggy> who can tell me why i cannt send a file to other in opera
[09:53] <pradeep> Paggy, to other?
[09:53] <Healot> davidjohnston: it doesn't install X and desktop by default...
[09:53] <davidjohnston> healot:  i don't have one...I just want opinions from people who use it
[09:54] <davidjohnston> healot...that's what I thought and good with me
[09:54] <Rug> Howdy all
[09:54] <Healot> good>? I don;t know... btu my customers haven't complain much...
[09:54] <metrol> Healot, sounds like Debian :)
[09:54] <EdLin> davidjohnston: if it's like Debian Stable it probably is an excellent server OS
[09:54] <Healot> metrol: i guess...
[09:54] <davidjohnston> Edlin:  yea that is what I was going with...i think I'm going to do an install tomorrow
[09:54] <EdLin> davidjohnston: using Ubuntu rather than Debian will give you some nice things like PHP5 without using a third party repository.
[09:55] <pradeep> hello Rug
[09:55] <EdLin> davidjohnston: but otherwise I'd lean towards Debian
[09:55] <davidjohnston> Edlin:  the other reason I was looking this direction
[09:55] <davidjohnston> I want the PHP5 and such
[09:55] <davidjohnston> i have used debian servers and don't care about the 3rd party repositories but still
[09:55] <Plebism> just a quick ques .. does the Ubuntu update feature include Kernel updates ?
[09:55] <bulltitan> seen a lot of php stuff in repos
[09:55] <mc__> Plebism, yes
[09:55] <Paladine> hehe helps if when I change my IP, that I don't set my gateway to my ISPs gateway :)
[09:55] <EdLin> davidjohnston: Ubuntu Dapper LTS has a long support cycle too, if that's an issue.
[09:56] <Rug> Plebism: yes
[09:56] <davidjohnston> EdLin:  probably not too much but always nice to know
[09:56] <Plebism> thanks - thats a great bonus :D
[09:56] <ufk> hiya
[09:56] <ufk> is there a gui for update-rc.d?
[09:56] <Healot> it's a shell script
[09:56] <Healot> doesn't need gui :)
[09:56] <davidjohnston> well guys...i appreciate it
[09:57] <metrol> davidjohnston: good luck with it!
[09:57] <ufk> can't it list me all of the init scripts and and their status? (will/will not be used)
[09:57] <mc__> ufk, look at bum
[09:57] <mc__> ufk, bum -boot up manager
[09:57] <ufk> thanks
[09:58] <metrol> mc__: I was thinking bum, but wasn't sure and didn't want to look much more dumb than I am :)
[09:58] <metrol> Read about that somewhere
[09:58] <davidjohnston> metrol: thanks...i we be on tomorrow night...tell everyone how it goes...i'm doing two ubuntu servers and kubuntu on a desktop and shockingly enough I'm going to do a win 2003 server to do a clone of one at work...sorry for any flames following the win server but I got to get paid
[09:58] <mc__> metrol, maybe cause automatix can install it
[09:59] <metrol> mc__: haven't used automatix, but I did read about it
[09:59] <bulltitan> there was another thing comming up with my ubuntu this morning, it started ok then 5 minutes later the screen went black like in stand by mode and a ctrl+alt+backspace" fixed it,.. in xsession log there was something about anacron error
[09:59] <bulltitan> what is anacron anyway
[09:59] <mc__> metrol, its really great
[10:00] <flx> Hi, I just downloaded ubuntu 6.06 and ... my mouse is not working. Neither the usb nor the serial ... is this a known problem or better: how can i configure my mouse later? via the text terminals, that i can easily reach?
[10:00] <mc__> metrol, with automatix i got my fully equippded desktop,including skype,java,opera and so on in just a few clicks
[10:00] <metrol> mc__: I'm sure I'll be looking at it at some point
[10:00] <metrol> hehe, I just got Java going while I was on here :)
[10:01] <metrol> I just can't live without Jedit
[10:01] <metrol> Hmmm, speaking of which, I need to go get that
[10:01] <bulltitan> flx seems to be that the mouse thing for me was fixed after an acpi update
[10:01] <mc__> metrol, try emacs ;)
[10:01] <bulltitan> dunno for sure but it works now
[10:01] <flx> bulltitan hmm how do i get it?
[10:01] <mc__> MetaMorfoziS, emacs is really a great editor and Operating System
[10:01] <Paladine> mc vmware server for win2k3 :)
[10:01] <metrol> "Emacs is a fine operating system.  Just needs to get a decent text editor." :)
[10:01] <bulltitan> well it is supposed to be automatic by synaptic
[10:02] <Paladine> that way you can contain that hugeass piece of malware :)
[10:02] <bjv> mounting all my /etc/exports shares take 1m45 on both my client machines.
[10:02] <bjv> it doesnt matter if i mount 1 file, or a 6+ gig directory. over wired or wireless ethernet.
[10:02] <bulltitan> it tells you when an update is avaliable
[10:02] <bjv> what logs am i supposed to check, for nfs mounts?
[10:02] <bulltitan> correct me if i'm wrong ppl
[10:02] <mc__> metrol, hehe,but emacs is really a nice editor too
[10:02] <mc__> metrol, jde is a nice java ide
[10:02] <flx> i can't do anyting in the graphical environment ...
[10:02] <Paladine> xemacs == bloatware
[10:03] <mc__> Paladine, not really
[10:03] <bulltitan> ups then you have some thing going with the video card too
[10:03] <snoops> how do I go remapping mouse keys in linux?
[10:03] <Paladine> last I checked xemacs was like 80MB
[10:03] <mc__> Paladine, take eclipse for comparison..
[10:03] <Healot> xemacs? cool bloatware, at least i can use emacs in X
[10:03] <thunderbolt> bah, real programmers use cat to edit files.
[10:03] <metrol> mc__: I've actually tried to like emacs, on a number of occassions.  My brain and those key strokes were never able to align
[10:03] <Paladine> try bluefish
[10:03] <metrol> VIM I can get around pretty handily
[10:03] <bjv> hm. i found a pair of ubuntu mountd entries in /var/log/syslog
[10:03] <bjv> no errors though.
[10:03] <mc__> metrol, it just takes some time
[10:03] <bulltitan> i have an ati 9600 and it was ok with gui flx
[10:03] <metrol> JEdit just rocks for how I like to work
[10:03] <thunderbolt> I like vim too,
[10:03] <Paladine> bluefish is a spinoff from OOo
[10:03] <thunderbolt> Modal editing is sweet.
[10:04] <mc__> metrol, i dont like vim
[10:04] <metrol> Paladine: I don't think so
[10:04] <bulltitan> but tell me maybe i'm mistaken you mean nothing like moving the mouse right?
[10:04] <mc__> too many commands to remember
[10:04] <Paladine> metrol, you don't think what?
[10:04] <metrol> bluefish was a spin off of OOo??
[10:04] <thunderbolt> mc__: says the emacs user ;-P
[10:04] <flx> yeah. moving the mouse. or clicking.
[10:04] <bjv> my /etc/exports i have set up like                     /var/cache/apt/ 192.168.1.1/24(rw,no_root_squash,async)
[10:04] <bjv> it takes exactly 1 minute 45 seconds for my other share too       /mnt/data/doc/ 192.168.2.103/24(ro,async)
[10:04] <bulltitan> flx  use alt+F1 to access the menus
[10:04] <flx> bulltitan keyboard works fine
[10:05] <bjv> anyone ever see this kind of delay when mounting over a network?
[10:05] <metrol> I thought bluefish was around before OOo?
[10:05] <Paladine> metrol, spin off might have been the wrong phrase, it is a side project from OOo
[10:05] <metrol> Not important... probably the time line in my brain is messed up
[10:05] <bulltitan> the scroll the options of any programs by hittin tab key
[10:05] <metrol> Like SO many other things

[10:06] <minimec> Hi folks. I have two similar dapper installations. On one installation I can run nxtvepg without any problem, on the other I cannot (I get an error saying, 'Failed to initialise the Tk library at '/usr/lib/tk8.4' - exiting.
[10:06] <minimec> Tk error message: this isn't a Tk applicationunknown color name "Black"
[10:06] <bulltitan> you might need to add some repos if it is a fresh install
[10:06] <flx> bulltitan cool, i have the menus now. thanks
[10:06] <bulltitan> dont get freaked :P
[10:06] <minimec> And know... onlay god knows, why that is...
[10:06] <flo> i have this problem....libcairo is upgradable and when i try to do that i get upgrade (break) and gnome is giviing me a lot of error mesegez , is inusable, nothing works anymore, how can i get to know wich package enters in conflict with libcairo?
[10:06] <bulltitan> ho
[10:06] <bulltitan> by the way flx
[10:06] <metrol> Paladine: I've tried it a number of versions back... it was okay, but not great... haven't looked at it in a while
[10:06] <Paladine> metrol, I like it, using the latest version here
[10:07] <schmakk> azureus fails to show its icon in the systray and the warning/info boxes it shows from time to time is stuck on the screen... help
[10:07] <bulltitan> when booting into ubuntu try hitting the bloq num key to get the usb recognized
[10:07] <metrol> Heck, I'll give it a shot a little later
[10:07] <metrol> With that... I'm outta here for the night.  Later on folks!
[10:07] <flx> bulltitan ok. ill try a reboot
[10:07] <bulltitan> just a thing i used to do before the update to get the mouse working and it did always
[10:08] <flx> and then i need to run synaptix?
[10:08] <bulltitan> at ubuntu first screen hit the key
[10:08] <bulltitan> i know it sounds silly but it works :P
[10:08] <bulltitan> yep
[10:08] <snoops> bulltitan yes?
[10:08] <bulltitan> so far i have my usb mouse working
[10:08] <flx> ah shit. i am still from the live cd
[10:08] <flx> so synaptix won't d much, will it?
[10:08] <bulltitan> and before the update too
[10:09] <flx> ok
[10:09] <ufk> bum doesn't work!
[10:09] <Paladine> synaptic still works on livecd
[10:09] <Paladine> I installed a bunch of stuff whilst running LiveCD
[10:09] <ufk> i ran bum, went to samba, pressed on deactivate & aplly now, and the list comes again with samba activated
[10:09] <bulltitan> snoops you have the mouse thing too?
[10:09] <snoops> bulltitan I'm trying to work out how to map the mouse keys to what I want
[10:10] <snoops> is that your issue too?
[10:10] <bulltitan> well my issue was no mouse at all :P
[10:10] <bulltitan> fixed now
[10:11] <snoops> it's so frustration when I can't find any documentation or anything on remapping two keys to the same trigger
[10:12] <bulltitan> try mouse map keyword in ubuntu forums
[10:12] <monomaniacpat> anyone got any experience using USB game controllers/joypads?
[10:12] <bulltitan> maybe something will come up
[10:12] <snoops> hehe already done bulltitan
[10:12] <bulltitan> or key map
[10:12] <bulltitan> :
[10:12] <bulltitan> :P
[10:13] <bulltitan> no ideas then i don't go that far
[10:13] <amarokker> Hi, i just burnt a dapper ISO whose after checksum test and all that jazz...turns out, once i booted, i am getting an 'invalid kernel' error
[10:13] <amarokker> and when i try to execute the win32 apps on windows, all i get is a dos window
[10:14] <amarokker> and then nothing happens...perhaps I've got the wrong options selected in k3b? any ideas?
[10:15] <bulltitan> bad iso?
[10:15] <bulltitan> i have gnome baker and it never failed for me
[10:15] <amarokker> bulltitan: even after mD5 sum check?
[10:16] <bulltitan> at default i mean
[10:16] <amarokker> Ok, i'll try it with gnome baker then.
[10:17] <amarokker> bulltitan: but which mode do i use? DAO/TAO/RAW?
[10:17] <bulltitan> i'm using gnome baker with an overrecorded rewritable cdrom of cheap quality and tryed xubuntu this morning
[10:17] <bulltitan> use the default setting
[10:17] <bulltitan> it works
[10:17] <amarokker> okl
[10:17] <bjv> something is wrong with my NFS. mounting any share takes 1m45 seconds
[10:17] <bjv> anyone familiar with something like this?
[10:18] <bjv> the mount does work. some lookup, etc. is hanging somewhere, and i dont know where to start looking :\
[10:18] <schmakk> cant anyone tell me why azureus fails to show in the systray and why the info boxes are stuck in the lower right corner?
[10:19] <bjv> only messages are in syslog, and that just says "mount attempt", and then "mounted".
[10:19] <bjv> *messages i have found, so far.
[10:20] <bjv> ive tried mounting from 2 computers, both explicitly named in /etc/exports.
[10:20] <Ademan> you have to pay for cedega right?
[10:20] <bjv> mounting 3 shares of sizes from 1 file to 6+ gigs takes 1m45sec each. :\
[10:20] <bjv> Ademan: there is a crummy CVS you can compile.
[10:20] <bjv> Ademan: they just updated the CVS, friday i think.
[10:20] <bulltitan> geee i have a site here with all the lawsuits made to microsoft and i'm like :O lol
[10:21] <bulltitan> ho but also apple :P
[10:21] <Ademan> bjv: what do you pay for then?
[10:22] <bjv> Ademan: the CVS is like 3 months behind, and pretty useless.
[10:22] <Ademan> bjv: oh, haha, probably miles ahead of wine though right?
[10:23] <bjv> Ademan: both wine and the cedega CVS can 'start' most games.
[10:23] <Ademan> bjv: i've been headbutting Steam for a month or so (with wine) lol, cedega interests me
[10:25] <bulltitan> i tryed cedega,... failed for me,... i also tryed winex same thing, also vmware, same thing, but wine did it for some things i think i was lazy in some point
[10:25] <mc__> bjv, cvscedega is not useless,it runs nice for me
[10:25] <Ribs> cvscedega is very out of date
[10:25] <Hajuu> bulltitan: How exactly can vmware "fail" ?
[10:26] <Ademan> winex != wine?
[10:26] <Hajuu> your just running windows under linux :/
[10:26] <bulltitan> hem human mistake?
[10:26] <bulltitan> :P
[10:26] <mc__> Ademan, winex==cedega
[10:26] <Hajuu> winex is wine for gamers
[10:26] <Ademan> Hajuu: ah thanks
[10:26] <bjv> well, winex got folded into wine, right?
[10:26] <mc__> cedega was formerly known as WineX
[10:26] <Hajuu> I believe so
[10:26] <bjv> the dx9 support?
[10:26] <bjv> cedega just took the winex base and went proprietary, iirc
[10:27] <mc__> the dx9 support isnt WineX
[10:27] <Ademan> haha winex's source forge page is empty
[10:27] <bulltitan> i'm the shake and bake kinda guy
[10:27] <mc__> bjv, no
[10:27] <bulltitan> so i hate to wait that's my mistake hajuu
[10:27] <Hajuu> bulltitan: so pirate it ;D
[10:27] <mc__> bjv,  transgaming took wine and made a version for gamer called wineX
[10:27] <Hajuu> lol
[10:27] <bulltitan> lol
[10:27] <dixie> hello gyys
[10:27] <dixie> guys
[10:27] <mc__> bjv, and then they changed the name to cedega
[10:28] <bulltitan> i'm not that kinda guy either that's why i love ubuntu's freedom
[10:28] <Frogzoo> mc__: winex was open source, whereas cedega isn't
[10:28] <Paladine> cedega is pretty good though
[10:29] <bjv> with the cvs, they pretend to be open source.
[10:29] <dixie> cedega is for free ?
[10:29] <Frogzoo> Paladine: wine is pretty good
[10:29] <Frogzoo> dixie: guess again
[10:29] <bulltitan> yep but cedega has a lot of things updated that winex don't have more over for the latest games
[10:29] <Paladine> the cvs version is free
[10:29] <bulltitan> but i can't afford it so i don't play latest games :P
[10:29] <Paladine> and the pay version is like $5 a month
[10:29] <mc__> Frogzoo, cedega is OS afaik except the copyright and directX parts
[10:29] <Paladine> so hardly a bank breaker
[10:30] <Frogzoo> bulltitan: winex is old code, wine is in many ways better than cedega, and has google behind it, amongst others
[10:30] <s1> How do I change from KDM to GDM, I haveto reconfigure a package, right?
[10:30] <Paladine> wine would be fine if they would bring out a damn 64bit version
[10:30] <bulltitan> say it again? bettter? are you sure cos if you are i get it right now
[10:30] <Paladine> but I don't think the directx support is there in wine yet is it?
[10:30] <Paladine> or at least not as well as cedega
[10:31] <Frogzoo> !appdb > bulltitan
[10:31] <Frogzoo> bulltitan: just check the app you want to run against the wine appdb
[10:31] <mc__> Paladine, not as well as in cedega but there is of course directX support
[10:31] <bulltitan> the low that i've read form some place is that ubuntu's repos are frozen in time so if i get it from there i will get an old one for sure
[10:31] <Paladine> mc__, yeah Iknow thereis some directx support, but cedega is able to play a lot more games than wine afaik
[10:31] <Paladine> the supported game list on cedega is upto about 300 games now
[10:31] <bulltitan> ho that place was ubuntu forums :P
[10:32] <Frogzoo> !wine
[10:32] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[10:32] <mc__> Paladine, of course cedega is much better for games
[10:33] <Paladine> I have a paid account with cedega, I am happy to fork out $5 bucks a month to support a project that is helping to overcome oneof the biggest reasons more "domestic" computer users don't use linux
[10:33] <mc__> i dont want everyone to use linux
[10:33] <Frogzoo> !no, wine is <reply> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information. Latest repo is at: "deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main"
[10:33] <bulltitan> for example i have an old totem according to totem's website but synaptic is not updating it
[10:33] <Paladine> I would say probably 95-98% of people I know use windows becauseof games
[10:34] <St0n3-C0l> hello...i wanna ask why my system is using too much load.. ?
[10:34] <mc__> Unix is for networking,Linux for Working and WIndows for pinball
[10:34] <Frogzoo> Paladine: depends on which game (check wine's appdb), and there's games that run native linux as well
[10:34] <dixie> i know lot of people which are using windows and they are not playing games :-)
[10:34] <St0n3-C0l> my load average is 44% and m not using anything heavier and it happens everytime...
[10:34] <Paladine> Frog, yeah I know, but not a lot
[10:34] <Frogzoo> dixie: that's what you think :D
[10:35] <monomaniacpat> Why with Wine installed, do windows CD's appear blank?
[10:35] <mc__> St0n3-C0l,  look at the output of top
[10:35] <Frogzoo> monomaniacpat: cd protection schemes
[10:35] <Paladine> that is another area where cedegais strong for games, copy protection
[10:35] <monomaniacpat> Frogzoo: anything I can do about it?
[10:35] <bulltitan> because wine got windows drunk
[10:35] <Paladine> wine has issues playing a lot of games cos of copy protection afaik
[10:36] <St0n3-C0l> mc__: ? i've typed top and now ?
[10:36] <rpedro> Paladine: gamecopyworld.com :P
[10:36] <Frogzoo> monomaniacpat: check wine's appdb - there's 2 options afaik - either get a crack, or mount a virtual cd copy with cdemu
[10:36] <monomaniacpat> Oh, that old mucker, eh?
[10:36] <Paladine> rpedro, not every game has a nocd crack
[10:36] <bulltitan> :P
[10:36] <Paladine> and some people may not wish to use a nocd crack for legal reasons
[10:36] <bulltitan> stickin to the classics
[10:37] <bjv> nfs is on the fritz some where, mounting takes exactly 1m45s on all shares.
[10:37] <bjv> has anyone ever seen this before?
[10:37] <HiP_P> wont they  run vnware
[10:37] <mc__> St0n3-C0l, now you can see which processes take how much cpu time
[10:37] <monomaniacpat> Frogzoo: what should I do exactly? where's the app database?
[10:37] <Frogzoo> !appdb > monomaniacpat
[10:37] <HiP_P> *vmware
[10:38] <monomaniacpat> !danke
[10:38] <ubotu> I know nothing about danke
[10:38] <meh> can anyone help me with somehthing?
[10:38] <Paladine> I am not saying wine doesn't have its place as well, clearly it does
[10:38] <St0n3-C0l> mc__: It happens like...now it's taking too much load right...when I'll restart the pc and use it then it won't take the load...and when another time i will use it then it'll again use that much load
[10:38] <St0n3-C0l> it's Xorg
[10:38] <Paladine> but when it comes to gaming, cedega is the way to go
[10:38] <HiP_P> cedega?
[10:39] <Frogzoo> Paladine: I expect big things from wine will develop
[10:39] <rpedro> Paladine: there's nothing preventing you from using a no-cd crack for a game you own, nothing
[10:39] <Paladine> rpedro, actually DMCA makes nocd cracks illegal
[10:39] <Frogzoo> rpedro: depends on local DRM laws
[10:39] <Paladine> as they circumvent copy protection
[10:39] <mc__> St0n3-C0l, well you cant kill Xorg...
[10:39] <bulltitan> as far as i know cedega is a developed thing that got the code originaly from wine
[10:39] <meh> i edited my xorg config file,and now the gui wont start,how can  i restore my old xorg settings,or use some kind of auto ubuntu thing to config xorg like it did at the installatio
[10:39] <St0n3-C0l> mc__: Yeah...:>
[10:40] <bulltitan> so the still use wine's engine with some mods right?
[10:40] <St0n3-C0l> i've got da latest one...so maybe thats the reason it's doing that?
[10:40] <mc__> meh, you would better have a backup
[10:40] <Frogzoo> meh: either undo your edits, or 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[10:40] <mc__> bulltitan, the forked wine years ago
[10:41] <meh> Frogzoo,after i do that,what will happen?:p
[10:41] <bulltitan> i see
[10:41] <Frogzoo> mc__: it's not clear that wine patches don't 'osmose' into the cedega code base...
[10:41] <monomaniacpat> Frogzoo: any ideas what I'm looking for exactly? what should I search for?
[10:41] <Paladine> frog, I hope wine does ecome something special, I really do, and when it does i will be the first person to put my hand in my wallet and fork over some funds.  But at the moment, I choose to support cedega because they are helping to bridge the biggest gap betweenwindowsand linux, that being gaming
[10:41] <mc__> alky is a very interesting project
[10:42] <HiP_P> right i still get a http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16981 :(
[10:42] <meh> Frogzoo,after i do that,what will happen?:p
[10:42] <Paladine> I maybe play games a couple of times of month, but the reason I pay $5 a month to cedega is to support the project, not to play games
[10:42] <mc__> meh, you will be asked some questions
[10:43] <meh> ok
[10:43] <meh> thanks everyone :p

[10:49] <Paladine> but I help where I can
[10:49] <flx> bulltitan: my mouse is still not working
[10:49] <flx> i booted with num key pressed
[10:49] <flx> you know where the mouse config sits?
[10:49] <flx> in text form?
[10:50] <Frogzoo> flx: it's there in /etc/X11/xorg.conf  under Section "Input Device"
[10:50] <HiP_P> Paladine: it was then i in installed gstream ugly and so on then restarted and it was gone
[10:51] <Paladine> HiP_P, you tried reinstalling gstream?
[10:51] <HiP_P> yup
[10:51] <d1zzy> uhmmm hi... just wondering, doesnt dapper have a package for doom3, quake4, cedega, ed2k-gtk-gui ?
[10:51] <d1zzy> cant seem to find with apt-cache search for these anything
[10:51] <HiP_P> Paladine: yup
[10:51] <AlexC> Hey,
[10:52] <Frogzoo> d1zzy: you won't find to pay for packages in the repos
[10:52] <HiP_P> AlexC: alright
[10:52] <flx> you  know the configurations for a 3 button serial mouse logitech?
[10:52] <Paladine> HiP_P, try uninstalling gstream and see if sound comes back
[10:52] <AlexC> Ive just installed fglrx-control ... but how do I open it ?
[10:52] <Paladine> at least then we know if gstream is causing the problems
[10:52] <d1zzy> Frogzoo: "won't find to pay" ?! what do you mean ?
[10:52] <HiP_P> Paladine: cant without installing ubuntu desktop
[10:52] <Frogzoo> AlexC: log out, restart gnome, & you'll find an icon under apps -> accessories
[10:52] <AlexC> Frogzoo, Ahh right ok, thanks.
[10:53] <Paladine> HiP_P, yeah uninstall it then do sudo apt=get install ubuntu-desktop (I think)
[10:53] <AlexC> HiP_P, Ubuntu-desktop is just a meta apackge as far as I know
[10:53] <Paladine> apt-get even
[10:53] <mormoloc> what codecs should i install to read wmv 8 files?
[10:53] <HiP_P> ahhh the power apt-get
[10:53] <Frogzoo> d1zzy: s/w that requires payment won't be found in the repos
[10:53] <Lobster> ahoy-hoy
[10:53] <d1zzy> Frogzoo: but there are demos that are not in the repos either which dont cost
[10:54] <mc__> d1zzy, proably license restrictions
[10:54] <d1zzy> Frogzoo: and why is that that I cant find them ? Im not looking for the payed content, just the freely distributed one (doom3/quake4 native binaries, and so on)
[10:54] <d1zzy> mc__: hmm
[10:54] <d1zzy> but then why dont they have *-package packages
[10:54] <HiP_P> Paladine: ill do that now... back in a bit
[10:54] <d1zzy> so I download the stuff and I buid .deps with that
[10:54] <Frogzoo> d1zzy: -> http://www.google.com/search?q=linux%20games
[10:54] <d1zzy> like debian's java-package, etc
[10:54] <Paladine> d1zzy, there probably are .deb packages, just not in the repos
[10:55] <Paladine> try searching for them on the web
[10:55] <d1zzy> Frogzoo: no, I want my distribution to manage the software I install so I want to go with's dpkg package system
[10:55] <d1zzy> Paladine: thats the problem, why aren't they in the repo ?
[10:55] <Paladine> licensing reasons most likely
[10:55] <AlexC> Hum, fglrx-control is not in the menu .... who ever I was talking to before,
[10:55] <d1zzy> I see, but as I said even with licensing problems they can do *-package things
[10:55] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: have you got w32codecs installed?
[10:55] <d1zzy> so basically it seems I moved from one distribution where I had these things to another which doesnt
[10:56] <Sisyphus> hi all !
[10:56] <d1zzy> probably wont stick much arround with this one...
[10:56] <Frogzoo> d1zzy: .debs may or may not be available, and the .debs may or may not be compatible with your setup
[10:56] <Paladine> d1zzy, as I said there probably are packages, just not in the default repos, you can add other repos though, either in synaptic directly or via your source.list
[10:56] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: yep but which one?
[10:56] <Frogzoo> d1zzy: which distro did you use before?
[10:56] <bjv> what distro has quake 4 packages? o_O
[10:56] <Paladine> anyway brb I have to tend to my son
[10:56] <Sisyphus> i did a apt-get install python-wxgtk2.6 didnt work .. didnt find the package any idea?
[10:56] <mc__> bjv, gentoo
[10:57] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: you mean gstreamer
[10:57] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: this is a pckage in it's own right
[10:57] <d1zzy> Frogzoo: gentoo for some time but got tired yesterday that I wanted to reinstall with kde and whould take 10 hours or so
[10:57] <bjv> lovely.
[10:57] <Paladine> brb
[10:57] <mc__> freebsd also has some games
[10:57] <mc__> freebsd for instance quake2
[10:57] <d1zzy> Frogzoo: but in gentoo tho I have cedega, doom3, quake4, ed2k-gtk-gui (which btw is GPL and as such no restrictions)
[10:57] <d1zzy> here I dont have anything of these it seems
[10:57] <void^> doesn't mean the data is hosted on freebsd or gentoo servers
[10:57] <d1zzy> I guess its a price that comes with binary distributions
[10:57] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: can i find it with synaptic?
[10:58] <Sisyphus> anyone uses wxpython ?
[10:58] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: hang on...
[10:58] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: k
[10:58] <HiP_P> bah got restart i guess
[10:58] <mejobloggs> how do I start the x config 'wizard' setup thing from a terminal ?
[10:58] <dakine> i am an absolute newbie to linux but i must install it and use it b4 monday...i was told NOT to use partition magic to partition my disk...i have used it for years and it does allow me to create ext3...what do linux users have against part magic???
[10:59] <Muki-EX> how do you install a deb file straight?
[10:59] <pequatre> Hi. my xubuntu doesnt beep when i "double-tab" in the command line. Actually, it never beeps for whatever. But when logg in through ssh from another pc on the lan it does beep. Anyone knows how to enable beeps ?
[10:59] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: for these instructions: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_add_extra_repositories
[11:00] <d1zzy> Frogzoo: interesting
[11:00] <gatekeeper> follow even (ooops)
[11:01] <d1zzy> Frogzoo: I agree tho that binary package systems are more strict to the licensing then source based ones but even binary systems can install scripts that build the binary package from a source for those packages they cant distribute as binary (like debian installs kernel-package, or java-package which one can use to build a .dep out of the kernel source or java-ver.bin)
[11:02] <mejobloggs> !x
[11:02] <d1zzy> as I can see ubuntu too does something similar for qmail with "qmail-installer" package
[11:02] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[11:02] <d1zzy> cause qmail license doesnt allow distribution as binary
[11:02] <d1zzy> they just need to make doom3-installer, quake4-installer, cedega-installer and so on :))
[11:02] <Frogzoo> d1zzy: depending on the app, you might find .debs are available, which might run, or rpms which you can convert but with less chance of success
[11:03] <d1zzy> Frogzoo: those are more headache that solution (like I just installed the debian .dep for ed2k-gtk-gui which seems to be broken as it installs the files in /usr as rootdir but it looks for them in /usr/local lol, borked build)
[11:03] <WarOfAttrition> Is 1p quake4 any good?
[11:03] <d1zzy> WarOfAttrition: depends if you like that kind of the game
[11:04] <mentor13> siema jest tu jakis polak
[11:04] <d1zzy> cedega is more interesting cause I could run them Morrowind (runs perfectly with cedega > 5.0)
[11:05] <dakine> whats wrong with usin partition magic to create linux partitions?
[11:06] <twinoatl> Hello
[11:07] <twinoatl> When I hit CTRL+ALT+F1, I get a black screen and no login shell. How can I reactivate this please ?
[11:07] <AdmiralCrunch> Anyone happen to know how to get drop shadows without Compiz on post-9250 ATI cards?
[11:08] <Frogzoo> d1zzy: does Oblivion run under Cedega?
[11:08] <Paladine> iygioug;'hui'nlkbjclgjbhio'
[11:08] <pequatre> Hi. my xubuntu doesnt beep when i "double-tab" in the command line. Actually, it never beeps for whatever. But when logg in through ssh from another pc on the lan it does beep. Anyone knows how to enable beeps ?
[11:08] <d1zzy> Frogzoo: the latest supports oldoblivion which is a hack over oblivion to run on cards without SM3.0
[11:08] <Paladine> that was my 6 month old
[11:08] <d1zzy> Frogzoo: because even the latest cedega doesnt still have a fully SM3.0 implementation
[11:09] <gatekeeper> dakine: from what I have seen in the past, people who use partition magic for linux partitions seem to end up damaging them may be this would be better: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[11:09] <Sisyphus> has anybody installed  python-wxgtk2.6 ?
[11:09] <HiP_P> Paladine: makes more sence than me
[11:09] <gatekeeper> dakine: I think Dapper uses GParted as part of it's installation
[11:09] <twinoatl> When I hit CTRL+ALT+F1, I get a black screen and no login shell. How can I reactivate this please ?
[11:10] <Sisyphus> i did apt-get install but nothing.. any help:?
[11:10] <dakine> ok but will it queer my current windows partition or let me work with it in a dual boot?
[11:10] <HiP_P> sisyphus: you tryd sudo apt-get -f install?
[11:11] <Sisyphus> no
[11:11] <Frogzoo> twinoatl: can you telnet/ssh in?
[11:11] <Sisyphus> the pavckage is rt?
[11:11] <Sisyphus> package
[11:11] <HiP_P> oh
[11:11] <Paladine> 
[11:11] <HiP_P> sorry mate
[11:11] <gatekeeper> Sisyphus: you have to have the universe repo enabled to install this package
[11:11] <Paladine> #
[11:12] <Paladine> sorry bout this lol
[11:12] <HiP_P> Paladine: 6 month old or you getting bored?
[11:12] <Paladine> he wants to be a geek like his dad
[11:12] <Eazy-> twinoatl: hit CTRL+ALT+F1 one more time, usually works for me
[11:12] <HiP_P> hahaha
[11:13] <Sisyphus> it says package is missing or is obsolete...
[11:13] <Sisyphus> !
[11:13] <ubotu> I know nothing about !
[11:13] <Sisyphus> how can i do that gatekeeper?
[11:13] <WarOfAttrition> gparted will let you work in dual boot for crissakes, as long as you leave ntfs alone
[11:13] <mejobloggs> !grub

[11:14] <WarOfAttrition> grub made windows boot faster on someone's machine I set up
[11:14] <Sisyphus> how do  you enable the unicerse repo??
[11:14] <Sisyphus> universe
[11:14] <ompaul> Seveas, I did not think you were around - ergo the email cos I kept forgetting to say it
[11:14] <twinoatl> Frogzoo:  This is my computer :-) I'm chatting on it currently. And yes, I can ssh localhost
[11:14] <gatekeeper> Sisyphus: I would follow these instructions then you will get everthing you want: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_add_extra_repositories
[11:15] <monomaniacpat> Can anyone tell me how to view files on a game CD with wine installeD?

[11:16] <Seveas> ompaul, ah, fun bug :/
[11:16] <ompaul> Seveas, well I wanted it for our friend ...
[11:16] <HiP_P> Paladine: and the errors is still there

[11:17] <gourdin> ompaul: =)
[11:18] <CaptainZeroCool> Frogzoo, what video card do you have if any?
[11:18] <HiP_P> Frogzoo: maybe the drivers for your gfx card aint installed
[11:18] <WarOfAttrition> not all of them
[11:18] <Frogzoo> CaptainZeroCool: yes I have a vid card, & it is radeon 9700 mobile - latest fglrx 8.26.18 driver
[11:19] <gatekeeper> !symlink
[11:19] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via applications -> accessories -> terminal (gnome) or kmenu -> system -> konsole (kde). Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[11:19] <HiP_P> hmmm
[11:19] <CaptainZeroCool> Well, then I have not a clue.  If the drivers installed correctly...
[11:20] <CaptainZeroCool> then it should work.
[11:20] <bjv>  "NFS request from nokia originated on insecure port, psychoanalysis suggested"
[11:20] <bjv> psychoanalysis?? lol
[11:20] <Karhuton> I blacklisted ipv6 module in modprobe, but now my syslog keeps getting full of warning messages: Not loading blacklisted module ipv6
[11:21] <dakine> i had the same vid card prob with a radeon x300, so on on startup i just chose the generic graphics option...all looked good
[11:21] <Eazy-> twinoatl: then I dont know. I had the same problem when I wanted to install Nvidia drivers. Now when I hit ctrl+alt+f1 I see splash screen and then I hit ctrl+alt+f1 it works
[11:21] <Eazy-> anyone knows why nvidia-settings don save my settings?
[11:22] <twinoatl> Eazy-:  I see nothing else than a black screen
[11:22] <Eazy-> have you rebooted?
[11:22] <ompaul> Karhuton, that is all the times your system would have loaded it, suggest you just block it in firefox and allow it back out to play
[11:22] <Karhuton> ompaul: I don't have firefox, this is a server
[11:22] <twinoatl> Eazy-:  multiple times
[11:22] <Eazy-> k
[11:22] <ompaul> Karhuton, ahh
[11:22] <Eazy-> nividi gfx?
[11:23] <pequatre> hello. i can't hear bips (BEL characters) in my terminal, either X11 or tty, butwhen i ssh from another comp it works. What gives ? :(
[11:23] <Eazy-> nvidia*
[11:23] <twinoatl> Eazy-:  did you installed nvidia-settings ? on my computer, trying to install this package would remove nvidia-glx
[11:23] <Karhuton> ompaul: I get something like 16 messages in few seconds. That can't be good for performance
[11:23] <WarOfAttrition> Eazy-: try writing in the .nvidia-settings-rc file settings manually, then make it read only
[11:23] <Eazy-> yes, you dont need to install nvidia-settings...it is included in the drivers
[11:24] <Eazy-> just open a console and type: nvidia-settings
[11:24] <igcek> how to copy more files in terminal? files that start with same three letters?
[11:25] <Eazy-> WarOfAttrition: have tried that
[11:25] <WarOfAttrition> igcek: cp abc*
[11:25] <igcek> thanks
[11:25] <WarOfAttrition> Eazy-: if it's read only it has to stay that way
[11:26] <Eazy-> I have a script to to apply the settings in my startup....but I get this: ERROR: Error parsing assignment '[0/RedGamma=0.868786] ' (Trailing garbage).
[11:26] <Eazy-> I only want to make my screen a litle darker
[11:27] <ompaul> Karhuton, can't find my book that might give me a clue on that one
[11:27] <WarOfAttrition> Eazy-: then it's not in the correct format
[11:28] <bjv> Eazy-: man xgamma?
[11:28] <WarOfAttrition> I had to set TV/Overscan by hand in there, made it read only and stayed that way
[11:28] <HiP_P> Paladine: you still here dude?
[11:28] <gatekeeper> Tmob: never done it myself but found this: http://www.pcquest.com/content/linux/handson/299060101.asp

[11:30] <Eazy-> so here I am with a too bright screen :P
[11:30] <ompaul> Karhuton, the only thing I can think of is rebuild the kernel with no ipv6 support in it
[11:30] <Eazy-> I know it worked in breezy
[11:30] <ompaul> Eazy-, ask in #kubuntu perhaps

[11:36] <cyne> i entered in my root password and it asks me again for the user/pass
[11:36] <Paladine> cyne, of course it does
[11:36] <Paladine> root pass or your pass?
[11:36] <cyne> Paladine... they are both the same
[11:36] <Paladine> you need to type in your username, then your password
[11:36] <AlexC> Hey
[11:36] <cyne> yes i did that
[11:37] <Paladine> caps lock?
[11:37] <Polkadotshorts> How can I access my windows hard drive form ubuntu. I have two hard drives. When I try to, I get this message: error: device /dev/hda1 is not removable
[11:37] <Polkadotshorts> error: could not execute pmount
[11:37] <cyne> Paladine, nope :)
[11:37] <AlexC> How can I play WMV videos in Ubuntu?
[11:37] <HiP_P> Paladine: not by name
[11:37] <dli> !ntfs > Polkadotshorts
[11:38] <Paladine> HiP it might be your soundcard is not supported, what card is it
[11:38] <stgraber> AlexC: you need some codecs for gstreamer
[11:38] <HiP_P> SBLive
[11:38] <Paladine> HiP_P, you installed the latest sb drivers?
[11:38] <AlexC> stgraber, I have all the gstreamer codecs
[11:38] <WarOfAttrition> does anyone know what package is needed here? -- make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/X11R6/lib/libXExExt.a'
[11:38] <cyne> Paladine, so where is samba getting the user/pass from ?
[11:38] <HiP_P> well it was work before the gstreamer install
[11:38] <dli> AlexC, try mplayer + win32codecs
[11:38] <gaz> sorry to interrupt but where do you get the gstreamer codecs from
[11:39] <Paladine> AlexC, , I think you need the win32 codecs, but I am not entirely sureon that since I wouldn't piss on a wmv if it was on fire
[11:39] <HiP_P> Paladine: well it was work before the gstreamer install
[11:39] <Tmob> gatekeeper, thanks
[11:39] <WarOfAttrition> but there are so many wmv videos offered on the net, you miss out if you dont play them
[11:39] <HiP_P> sorry keep forgetting to put your name on the front .... hence the repeating
[11:39] <Paladine> HiP_P, you searched the ubu forums for similar issues?  I know SBLive can cause a few headaches
[11:39] <stgraber> AlexC: wget http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/plf/ubuntu/plf/pool/dapper/i386/non-free/w32codecs/w32codecs_20050412-1plf4_i386.deb
[11:39] <stgraber> dpkg -i w32codecs_20050412-1plf4_i386.deb
[11:39] <AlexC> Paladine, How do I get the win32 codecs?
[11:40] <AlexC> stgraber, 404
[11:40] <Paladine> Warlord384, how do I miss out, I am not interested in wmv files
[11:40] <Sisyphus> binary and source options at the repository channel (synaptic) can coexist or you have to choose one of the two?
[11:40] <AlexC> stgraber, can find file
[11:40] <HiP_P> Paladine: trust me to the sound that everthing hates
[11:41] <Paladine> HiP_P, chances are somone has experiencd the same problems and started a htread on the forums about it
[11:41] <Paladine> sothats probably the best place to start looking for a solution
[11:41] <HiP_P> okey dokey .... well cheers for your help Paladine
[11:41] <bjv> who needs wmv when you have youtube and wget? amirite?
[11:41] <Paladine> sorry I couldn't do more
[11:42] <AlexC> bjv, maybe when videos are in wmv format?
[11:42] <WarOfAttrition> if only all sites offered xvid or something like that
[11:42] <cntb> hi guys googled  < grep kil> and found http://www.tech-recipes.com/unix_tips742.html handy command when in trouble
[11:42] <cntb> ps -u <username> | grep <processname_pattern> | awk '{print $1}' |  xargs kill -9
[11:42] <HiP_P> Paladine: you listen and tryd thats all you can do .... and thank you for it
[11:42] <Paladine> np man
[11:42] <cntb> trust me bookmark link above
[11:42] <AlexC> How do I install the Win32 codecs then for mplayer?
[11:43] <ern-> hi! my computer is runnung ubuntu 5.10. the standard ps2-keyboard is recognized during startup, but when gdm is started the first time, there is no reaction on key presses (worked before a few days). after choosing the xdmcp menu in gdm (by mouse) and returning, the keyboard works again. any ideas?
[11:43] <Paladine> Alex, grab the deb package then do dpkg -i nameofpackage.deb
[11:43] <bjv> i thought mplayer had codecs compiled into it, or something
[11:43] <bjv> wmv doesnt come standard?
[11:43] <stgraber> AlexC: http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/pool/dapper/i386/non-free/w32codecs/w32codecs_20050412-1plf4_i386.deb
[11:43] <Badm4n> any one can help me to make my squid transparant ?
[11:43] <stgraber> bjv: no, you need w32codecs
[11:43] <AlexC> stgraber, now it works,
[11:44] <HiP_P> Paladine: if i find anything ill let you know.... then you can pass it on
[11:44] <Paladine> sure thing HiP_P
[11:44] <WarOfAttrition> how odd though, wmv has problems on mplayer's plugin for firefox
[11:45] <Badm4n> ubotu transparant proxy > badm4n
[11:45] <ubotu> I know nothing about transparant proxy
[11:45] <Schalken> is there somwhere I can report bugs and/or sugegstions to Ubuntu development?
[11:45] <HiP_P> Paladine: cheery bye
[11:45] <HiP_P> as in bye bye
[11:45] <Paladine> WarOfAttrition, to be honest linux users are ucky to have any wmv support since it is a propriety format
[11:46] <mormoloc> bjv: just read a tutorial which said that ubuntu doesnt support wmv :(
[11:46] <HiP_P> bye all in room
[11:46] <Paladine> later HiP_P and good luck
[11:46] <kristian> Hatred, there was something wrong with the guide you send last night. It's not the same kernel in the guide and on my pc.
[11:46] <truzak> hello, is there a packaging issue related to latest libcairo update? it's always kept back...
[11:46] <Eazy-> Thanx bjv, it worked with xgamma :)
[11:46] <mormoloc> bjv: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper#How_to_install_Multimedia_Codecs
[11:47] <ompaul> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WMV  it is an open standard for the last couple of years
[11:47] <spikeb> patent encumbered or not?
[11:47] <WarOfAttrition> Paladine: true, but wmv does suck compared to others
[11:48] <kristian> hatred, you here?
[11:48] <ompaul> spikeb, I live in europe, and thankfully we don't have software patents (no matter what the EPO says), your jurisdiction may have other thoughts on it
[11:48] <reztho> hi
[11:48] <spikeb> yes, mine certainly does. lovely united states government and all that.
[11:48] <ompaul> spikeb, even if I said no, how could I know with the way patents are written, ;-)
[11:49] <spikeb> ompaul: haha
[11:49] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: the win32codecs don't allow you to play wmv?
[11:49] <mormoloc> nope :(
[11:49] <bill[1] > is the gib-2.0-dev package broken
[11:50] <bill[1] > glib even
[11:50] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: used the command sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[11:50] <mormoloc> but nada
[11:50] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: ok
[11:50] <stgraber> mormoloc: http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/pool/dapper/i386/non-free/w32codecs/w32codecs_20050412-1plf4_i386.deb
[11:50] <kimo_^_> guys, I want to turn an old box, into (traffic manager, Firewall, Proxy, IDS ) appliance, for some friend Windows admins. Any recommended projects that do this kinda things ?
[11:50] <stgraber> and then : dpkg -o
[11:50] <stgraber> and then : dpkg -i
[11:51] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: have you got windows?
[11:51] <spikeb> kimo_^_: m0n0wall
[11:51] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: nope
[11:51] <kimo_^_> spikeb, thnx .. will look into it, any other recommendations
[11:51] <spikeb> kimo_^_: not offhand.
[11:52] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: I was thinking of possible some sort of convertion program of some sort no idea if one exist
[11:52] <Toge> hello
[11:53] <Toge> how can I created a DVD from a .avi (divx codec)?
[11:53] <kristian> how can i update my kernel to an older version? is that possible?
[11:53] <Toge> do you know any program?
[11:53] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: the tutorial you gave me had  the following phase in it:
[11:53] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: "Stubby All known codecs work except for wmv"
[11:53] <Schalken> kristian: it sure is, but if you are downgrading FROM the one came with ubuntu you might break something ;)
[11:54] <jrib> mormoloc: if you are on a i386, then w32codecs should let you play wmv.  It's not in ubuntu's repositories though
[11:55] <ern-> does anyone have an idea why my ps2 keyboard doesn't work in gdm at first?
[11:55] <Eazy-> hmm, I can play wmv-files with vlc
[11:55] <kristian> Schalken: oh.. I can check, I think I have a newer version than the kernel from the live-cd. What kernelversion was that on the Live-Cd?
[11:56] <WarOfAttrition> ern-: what does the keyboard say in xorg.conf?
[11:56] <amortvigil> hey
[11:56] <jrib> Eazy-: yeah, vlc can play them unless they are wmv9 (unless you recompile)
[11:56] <Eazy-> aha
[11:56] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: have a look at this: http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-list/2005-November/msg02212.html probable need to do some googling
[11:57] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: i installed the plugin
[11:57] <mormoloc> ill see if it work
[11:57] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: ok
[11:57] <Eazy-> just rememberd that some wmv-files dont work
[11:57] <Schalken> kristian: i can see the oldest one in the repos is 2.6.15.22, thats rpobably the one on the cd.
[11:57] <kristian> Schalken: I have 2.6.15-25-k7 now, and I need 2.6.10-5-386
[11:57] <karl> hi please help - trying to auto mount ntfs drives in dapper, tried all sorts of sugested entries in fstab but as normal user I get permision errors when I navigate to mount points
[11:57] <Schalken> probably*
[11:58] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: well i can hear sounds but no pictures :(
[11:58] <Paladine> ompaul, it may be an open standard but it isn't an open format, or at least not in the traditional sense
[11:58] <ern-> WarOfAttrition: there is an identifier, driver is kbd, xkbrules on xorg. the keyboard is referenced in the server layout section. this worked before a few days and works after going into xdmcp chooser and returning, for example
[11:58] <mormoloc> im using vlc and totem
[11:58] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: bit by bit :-)
[11:58] <Paladine> anything that can be stuffed with drm can't really be considered open as it is against the law to circumvent that drm
[11:59] <ompaul> Paladine, do the words embrace and extend
[11:59] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: :)
[11:59] <Firetech> is there any way to check from which repo a conflicting package comes from?
[11:59] <Schalken> karl: if it helps, my windows partition entry in fstab looks like this: "/dev/sda1	/media/windows	ntfs	ro,nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0"
[11:59] <Eazy-> karl: your ntfs-disk is probably already mounted under /media
[11:59] <amortvigil> ik hebwhat does this say : after i downlaod something with lynx it says: /bin/tar tvf -
[11:59] <Paladine> ompaul, thats just my opinion of course
[12:00] <Schalken> karl: (it says 'sda1' cuz i have a sata drive)
[12:00] <Frogzoo> Paladine: depends on which country's law you're talking about
[12:00] <kristian> Schalken: Ok. 2.6.10-5-386 is very old then... Could you take a look at a guide?
[12:01] <Paladine> frog, well DMCA may well be US law but many countries (including the whole of europe) have treaties with the US to uphold DMCA
[12:01] <Schalken> kristian: i gotta go. hope you get working whatever your trying to get working ;)
[12:01] <Paladine> so DMCA is basically annexed to other soveriegn states
[12:02] <Paladine> however, the future is bright
[12:02] <ompaul> Paladine, the dmca is not called that here, but it is an order of magnititude worse
[12:02] <Eazy->  (jrib) Eazy-: yeah, vlc can play them unless they are wmv9 (unless you recompile) ...do you mean recompile vlc player or...?
[12:02] <Paladine> there is a very large movement against DRM in europe atm
[12:02] <Paladine> and it is getting larger every week
[12:03] <Paladine> ompaul, whre are you based?
[12:03] <karl> thanks fstab entry same as Schalken, have 3 drives as hda1, hde1, hdf1 and a sda1, sda1 = usb and works, can mount as root or login as root and access I just want help with user access, tried captive and had same issues
[12:03] <ompaul> Paladine, the best movement against this stuff is called "customer rejection"
[12:03] <ompaul> Paladine, we are well offtopic here - #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:03] <jrib> Eazy-: well you can recompile it with wmv9 support... dvd john had a guide on his site
[12:03] <Eazy-> got a link for me? :)
[12:03] <Paladine> ompaul, I agree 110%, which is why I have been boycotting the industry for over 2 years, believe me, I know a great deal about DRM and other such anti consumer laws, I am stuck rightin themiddle of a HUGE lawsuit
[12:03] <Polkadotshorts> Hello
[12:04] <Polkadotshorts> Can anyone tell me how I can set midi's to play back on an external midi device (a keyboard)
[12:04] <Polkadotshorts> The keyboard is plugged in
[12:04] <snoops> oh wow.. what an amazing compiz effect.. I didn't even know it was there.. ctrl+alt + page down.. did anyone else know about that?
[12:04] <Polkadotshorts> Into a USB
[12:05] <Polkadotshorts> Hello?
[12:06] <aunes> Hi all.
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> Can anyone help me
[12:06] <ern-> i must leave, thanks WarOfAttrition, bye
[12:06] <aunes> What's the problem, Polka?
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> I have an externel midi device.
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> A keyboard.
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> And I need to play midi's through there
[12:06] <jrib> Eazy-: http://www.nanocrew.net/?p=129
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> I just don't know how to set it as the default midi playback device
[12:07] <Polkadotshorts> (And input device, if possible)
[12:07] <aunes> http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+midi&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial
[12:07] <Eazy-> thanx...tried to google...seem to suck at it ;)
[12:07] <AlexC> How do I install the latest ATI fglrx Drivers, the ones that fix the bug with 100% RPM fan speed
[12:07] <aunes> something there should work for you. the first and third links look helpful
[12:07] <karl> help - why does water not work on my compiz, enabled but does nothing
[12:08] <kristian> hatred, you here? :)
[12:08] <AlexC> Karl, you need to enable the Windows Key as Super in the Keyboard options
[12:08] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: there are shed loads of windows programs that seem to be able to convert wmv files other formats, so I would expect that you can find a linux converter somewhere try posting a question in the main ubuntu forum and/or comp.os.linux.misc on usenet
[12:09] <AlexC> karl, System -> preferences -> keyboard -> layout options -> Alt/Win Key -> Super is maped to win key
[12:09] <hattt> hello!  my question is a simple one about the upgrade facilities in ubuntu.  are there, in general, separate packages for various hardware drivers that can be installed via a package manager, if i didn't want to compile the driver myself?
[12:09] <Polkadotshorts> i don't have a problem with software synths
[12:09] <AlexC> karl, then just press CTRL+Super ( Win key ) and click in the desktop or anywhere!
[12:09] <Polkadotshorts> That is nto what iw ant./
[12:09] <Polkadotshorts> what i need is for it to play into a device which is plugged into USB
[12:09] <Polkadotshorts> I midi keyboard
[12:09] <cyne> how do i restart inetd ?
[12:10] <Frogzoo> hattt: that's the idea - you use kernel modules for drivers
[12:10] <WarOfAttrition> I think software synths are better than the midi hardware in creative cards
[12:10] <WarOfAttrition> far more polyphony if your system can handle it
[12:10] <ubuntu_> oigannnnnnnnnnnnn
[12:10] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: thanks

[12:12] <sedrake> how do I activate opengl direct rendering?
[12:12] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: your welcome :-)
[12:12] <AlexC> sedrake, do you mean install nVidia/ATI drivers?
[12:13] <Frogzoo> sedrake: should be enabled by default - what do you get for: 'glxinfo |grep direct'
[12:13] <amortvigil> Frogzoo: what can i do now to go install it?
[12:13] <__doc__> Hi, I've bigger problems trying to ge aac converted to mp3 on my dapper, any ideas?
[12:13] <sedrake> AlexC, Frogzoo, i have had it installed but my settings got messed up I tried to reset it but now direct rendering doesnt work
[12:13] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: can you read/open wmv ,or do you have the same problem?
[12:13] <snoops> why not ogg?
[12:14] <__doc__> well, whatever fits on my ipod
[12:14] <AlexC> sedrake, just reinstall nvidia/ati drivers?
[12:14] <sedrake> Frogzoo: output: direct rendering: No
[12:14] <WarOfAttrition> converting from aac to mp3 will ruin the quality
[12:14] <karl> AlexC- thanks mapped key - still no rain, Gset shortcuts for water read <Control><Super> for init and <Super>F9 fro toggle is this OK
[12:14] <sedrake> AlexC - how do I do that?
[12:14] <_stefan> hello, ATX = ATX?
[12:14] <__doc__> well can I play ogg on my ipod?
[12:14] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: don't know haven't tried, got a small one I could download from somewhere  and try?
[12:14] <Frogzoo> sedrake: which vid card?
[12:14] <__doc__> besides the question, I tried converting to ogg as well, doesn't work either
[12:14] <AlexC> sedrake, https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/hardware.html
[12:15] <Alex> _stefan: No - much smaller, doesn't fit properly in most cases (the PCI slots)
[12:15] <jory> any ideas why dapper doesn't work well with usb disks? (sd cards through card reader, pendrive) ? I cannot format them, can't see files, free space is wrong, I CAN write on the free space (but its size is wrong)
[12:15] <snoops> karl try out ctrl+alt+page down ;)
[12:15] <amortvigil> Frogzoo: what can i do now to go install it?
[12:15] <__doc__> aac -> anything doesn't seem to work anywhere
[12:15] <AlexC> karl, yes - thats how I have mine and it works
[12:15] <sedrake> Frogzoo: nvidia geforce4 ti 4200
[12:15] <Frogzoo> !nvidia > sedrake
[12:15] <WarOfAttrition> are they DRM aac songs? if so, no you can't do a thing with them - maybe try project hymn <_<
[12:15] <aunes> doc: which gen ipod?
[12:15] <__doc__> aunes: nano
[12:15] <AlexC> karl, well actually init rain for me is shirt+F9
[12:15] <kristian> Frogzoo, have you used this guide before? :http://www.ubuntu.si/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instaliranje_gonilikov_za_ati-jeve_karticei
[12:16] <AlexC> karl, shift, not shirt lol
[12:16] <Frogzoo> kristian: .si ? I don't think so
[12:16] <karl> ctrl-alt-pgdwn works as does eveything else but no water, hmmm, compiz did an update today I though that might fix it but no
[12:16] <aunes> doc: looks unlikely
[12:16] <__doc__> I installed soundconverter, soundkonverter, audio-converter, none of them seems able to convert
[12:16] <karl> hehe
[12:16] <redblades> Hey hey
[12:16] <jory> any ideas why dapper doesn't work well with usb disks? (sd cards through card reader, pendrive) ? I cannot format them, can't see files, free space is wrong, I CAN write on the free space (but its size is wrong)
[12:16] <AlexC> karl, WOW, I didn know about pgdown!! that amazing
[12:17] <_stefan> Alex: http://www.asrock.com/PRODUCT/AM2NF4G-SATA2.htm
[12:17] <_stefan> Alex: that is an ATX board
[12:17] <snoops> AlexC yeah.. I found that out today.. fun
[12:17] <AlexC> _stefan, are you talking to me?
[12:17] <kristian> Frogzoo: I got if from Hatred, it's how to install driver for graphic card, but there is something wrong :P I try to write sudo apt-get install linux restricted-modules-2.6.15-25-k7-xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-control, which is a code in that guide, but it dosn't work...
[12:17] <aunes> I'm trying to download wine. I followed their instructions but b/c I'm using the 64 bit version, the source is looking in binary-amd64 instead of binary-all for the file Packages.gz   Any thoughts how I can redirect synaptic?
[12:17] <redblades> I was wondering, is there a way to generate a HTML playlist (much like Winamp) ?
[12:18] <_stefan> AlexC: to Alex
[12:18] <AlexC> _stefan, ok =)
[12:18] <monomaniacpat> Guys: How do I get wine to show the contents of a PC game CD? it's invisible to me atm.
[12:18] <Frogzoo> !fglrx > kristian
[12:19] <kristian> Frogzoo, tried that one. Hatred told me to try the link, then it probably would work. I have tried the howto 3-4 times
[12:19] <kristian> brb
[12:19] <monomaniacpat> Frogzoo told me about the appdb but I don't know what to look for
[12:21] <hattt> Frogzoo, thanks - so if i know that the ralink rt2500 driver in dapperdrake has intermittent problems (and it happens to occur to my laptop, too), would it be likely that i could upgrade just that driver via the package manager, without resorting to source?
[12:21] <tafsen> How can I delete a swap file?
[12:21] <sedrake> I still dont get direct rendering to work, see I hav had it worked so my nvidia drivers is already installed

[12:24] <ufk> /tuborg/VM Storage" /usr/zlocal/vmstorage smbfs defaults 0 0, i can't use "" on fstab, and adding //tuborg/VM\ Storage doesn't work too. any ideas?
[12:24] <Frogzoo> hattt: the repos always host the latest available - if that doesn't work, you'll need to look to source
[12:24] <sedrake> Frogzoo: nvidia drivers is already installed but still no direct rendering
[12:25] <Frogzoo> sedrake: dunno cos I use fglrx - but typically the common problems are detailed in the wiki entries
[12:26] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: just tried downloading a clip from here: http://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/VirtualPressRoom/0,,51_104_572_585,00.html click on the clip and kaffine starts up and plays it!
[12:27] <salah> any idea how I install this theme: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=37871
[12:27] <WarOfAttrition> sedrake: is "nvidia" the driver set in xorg.conf? or is it "nv"
[12:27] <cyphase> just the picture :)
[12:27] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: some had the same problem with w32codecs install
[12:27] <sedrake> WarOfAttrition: nvidia
[12:27] <zdux0012> if I install xubuntu-desktop will I lose gnome?
[12:28] <WarOfAttrition> that would be a fragile monitor
[12:28] <cyphase> zdux0012: no
[12:28] <zdux0012> thanks,,
[12:28] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: it sais there the problem comes from videolan and totem
[12:28] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: ill try gxine
[12:28] <__doc__> well, I conclude, linux/unbuntu incapable of aac decoding then. fine
[12:29] <monomaniacpat> WarOfAttrition: NV is the default ubuntu video driver, you need nvidia (nvidia-glx)
[12:30] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: works perfect with gxine :)
[12:30] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: woohoo :-)
[12:31] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: yeah wohoo :)
[12:31] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: think I am using xine as the amaroK engine
[12:31] <redblades> How do I set up a shared folder with a Vmware machine?
[12:31] <monomaniacpat> now anyone know much about wine's appdb?
[12:32] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: pleased you got that sorted :-)
[12:32] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: ubuntu makes you sweat all the time :)
[12:32] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: It sure does :-)
[12:32] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: just need a little persistence sometimes

[12:33] <lucasvo> Package subversion is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[12:33] <Badm4n> any one can help me to make my squid transparant ?

[12:34] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT

[12:38] <Badm4n> !squid
[12:38] <ubotu> I know nothing about squid
[12:38] <lucasvo> amortvigil: do you have a router?
[12:38] <Badm4n> !transparant proxy

[12:40] <AlexC> Stormx2, woops, with Dead Keys even
[12:40] <redblades> Okay, how can I share files with a VMware machine?
[12:40] <Stormx2> AlexC: Preference > Keyboard. Add. Selected "United Kingdom" and hit OK
[12:41] <Frogzoo> lucasvo: try searching subversion in synaptic
[12:41] <Frogzoo> lucasvo: maybe try the main repos if problem persists
[12:41] <AlexC> Stormx2, Ahh thats better, I was actually selecting one of the options inside UK - thanks
[12:41] <Stormx2> AlexC: Thats what i did
[12:41] <Stormx2> AlexC: Tricked me out too ;-)
[12:41] <Nameeater> redblades: vmware has a pack that can sometime do it, I know it did for my windows vmware install it made a virtual networked folder
[12:41] <amortvigil> lucasvo: works
[12:42] <AlexC> Stormx2, hehe
[12:42] <redblades> Nameeater, where?
[12:42] <lainux> Nobody can help for wifi problem?
[12:42] <WarOfAttrition> now you're maxing it out
[12:42] <Nameeater> I am not sure sorry, I havnt installed vmware since I upgraded to dapper, what OS are you installing on vmware?
[12:43] <lucasvo> amortvigil: what works? :)
[12:44] <cwillu> is there any way to remove a package that ubuntu-desktop depends on without removing ubuntu-desktop itself?  (I know ubunbtu-desktop is just a meta-package; this is just an aesthetic thing)
[12:44] <spikeb> cwillu: no.
[12:44] <WarOfAttrition> I hate meta packages
[12:44] <WarOfAttrition> they smell like old bread
[12:44] <redblades> Nameeater, DaveyJ
[12:45] <amortvigil> lucasvo: ping
[12:45] <redblades> Nameeater, Dapper I mean
[12:45] <lucasvo> amortvigil: and what's the problem?
[12:46] <mormoloc> are there any openoffice 2.0.3 pakages for ubuntu yet?
[12:47] <amortvigil> i want to get from comoputer 1 to computer 2
[12:47] <amortvigil> lucasvo:i want to get from comoputer 1 to computer 2
[12:47] <lucasvo> amortvigil: what data do you want to transmit?
[12:47] <lucasvo> amortvigil: if ping works, you can already communicate with them
[12:48] <amortvigil> lucasvo: like downlaods and music
[12:48] <amortvigil> files
[12:49] <enyc> hrrm
[12:50] <enyc> ?is there a channel for ubuntu-backports?
[12:50] <foxiness> hi , i want to start new local channel for ubuntu on my area
[12:50] <lucasvo> amortvigil: try: Places > Connect to server
[12:51] <lucasvo> amortvigil: Choose SSH, enter the IP of the server
[12:51] <lucasvo> amortvigil: port is not needed
[12:51] <Ignite_> hows pcmcia/wireless support in ubuntu, friend is having issues with fedora, considering how much of a pleasure it is for me using ubuntu i figured i would ask seeing as i haven't ever needed to setup wireless :P
[12:51] <lucasvo> amortvigil: enter the user name, and in Folder I would enter /home/__USER__/
[12:52] <lucasvo> amortvigil: and then press connect
[12:52] <lucasvo> amortvigil: you should have an icon on the desktop which says /home/__USER__/ at IP
[12:53] <lucasvo> amortvigil: double click on it and you should see the your homedir on the other machine
[12:53] <ompaul> foxiness, ?
[12:54] <amortvigil> lucasvo: its conection refuses and i dont have gui
[12:54] <lucasvo> amortvigil: where don't you have gui?
[12:55] <finalbeta> Ignite_, it's still hell. You still want to be using ndiswrapper, unless you have a bmx or something chipset that has a module. My wireless still only works on B while the card should be working in G
[12:55] <amortvigil> lucasvo: its a ubuntu server
[12:55] <amortvigil> only the base system
[12:55] <Ignite_> finalbeta, ok, thanks for the insight
[12:56] <AlexC> What does it mean when I get this error in sudo apt-get update :GPG error: http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl dapper-seveas Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBK
[12:56] <bimberi> !loco
[12:56] <ubotu> Information on Ubuntu Local Community Teams is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams
[12:56] <Badm4n> any one can help me to make my squid transparant ?
[12:57] <AlexC> Badm4n, put it in a blender?
[12:57] <Badm4n> :-/
[12:57] <Badm4n> mean ?
[12:58] <bimberi> AlexC: have you added the package signing key to apt's trusted keys database?  If not see the info at http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl/ itself
[12:58] <AlexC> bimberi, i'll do that now
[12:58] <lucasvo> amortvigil: you only need the gui on the client
[12:58] <lucasvo> amortvigil: does ssh user@server work?
[12:58] <AlexC> Badm4n, well you put a squid in a blender, it then becomes a liquid - and liquid is transparant slightly ( might not be after all the blood n guys of the squid though )
[12:59] <war95> Anyone here do any benchmarking with SW RAID5 vs. chunk size in a performance analysis?
[12:59] <AlexC> bllod n guts*
[12:59] <lucasvo> Badm4n: I don't know how to do it
[12:59] <lucasvo> Badm4n: but afaik it's the same procedure for all the operating systems
[12:59] <AlexC> thanks bimberi - I should of thought of that.
[12:59] <amortvigil> lucasvo shh amortvigil@192.168.1.65 and shh amortvigil@192.168.1.255 wont work
[12:59] <lucasvo> Badm4n: you should be able to find a howto on google
[01:00] <amortvigil> lucasvo: shh amortvigil@192.168.1.65 and shh amortvigil@192.168.1.255 wont work
[01:00] <Badm4n> i need help to make my proxy transparant but using iptables rule
[01:00] <lucasvo> amortvigil: and ping 192.168.1.65  works?
[01:00] <lucasvo> amortvigil: the ip 192.168.1.255 is usually reserved for broadcasting
[01:01] <amortvigil> lucasvo: the ping works
[01:02] <SaTaN`_> hello
[01:03] <SaTaN`_> how could I setup Shell on ubuntu??
[01:04] <AlexC> Guys, I've just installed ubuntu-fglrx-386 to get the latest ATI drviers, after I installed I get this message You need to install the accompanying kernel module for X to remain functiona
[01:04] <AlexC> Why are the accompanying kernel module for x?
[01:04] <ernz> Morning Everyone!!!
[01:04] <SaTaN`_> how could I setup Shell on ubuntu??
[01:04] <AlexC> morning,
[01:04] <AlexC> SaTaN`_, by wating more than 2 mins :p
[01:04] <jrib> SaTaN`_: what do you mean exactly?
[01:04] <ernz> This is kind of a stupid question. But I have seen a few screenshots of Ubuntu desktops on line.
[01:05] <ernz> Some of these shots have the terminal script feeding directly onto the desktop - How would I do this?
[01:05] <SaTaN`_> am, i Mean the shell, that you can buy... i would like to put this on my machine, to larn, how to use real shells....
[01:05] <ernz> I suspect a gDesklet, but I can't seem to find one that does it.
[01:06] <jrib> SaTaN`_: you mean applications > accessories > terminal?
[01:07] <jrib> ernz: maybe you can link to the screenshot?
[01:08] <ernz> jrib: Sure, one second.
[01:08] <ernz> jrib: http://www.lynucs.org/index.php?screen_type=1&screen_id=1520205582435bac8c57dea&m=screen
[01:09] <alex_> i have a 500Mhz celeron cpu with the bord ga-6bxc and 160mb sdram + 16 mb vga
[01:10] <alex_> how can i make my ubuntu 5.1 with gnome quiker
[01:10] <Frogzoo> alex_: you installed fglrx-kernel-2.6.15-25-386        assuming you're running a 386 kernel, I'd recommend 686 personally
[01:10] <jrib> ernz: it may just be a transparent terminal with the border removed
[01:10] <alex_> how to install the kernel
[01:11] <alex_> ??
[01:11] <jrib> ernz: actually, it looks more like a log -- I remember seeing something like that on the fluxbox faq, one sec
[01:11] <ernz> It looks that way to me too jrib, but the options just don't hack it in GNOME Terminal - Perhaps I should be using a different terminal?
[01:11] <Frogzoo> alex_: apt-get install linux-image-2.6.15-25-686            & reboot (will only work on p4 or better)
[01:11] <ernz> KK
[01:12] <alex_> i have a celeron 500 cpu
[01:12] <Frogzoo> alex_: should be fine
[01:12] <alex_> not p4
[01:12] <Frogzoo> think it's p2 actually
[01:12] <jrib> ernz: I don't know how well this works on gnome, but you can look into it: http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docs/en/faq.php#roottail
[01:13] <ernz> Will do jrib, thanks for help.
[01:13] <alex_> a686 kernel is for older systems?
[01:13] <alex_> or 4 p4
[01:13] <alex_> ?
[01:13] <Frogzoo> alex_: you should probly uninstall the ubuntu-fglrx-386 first
[01:13] <alex_> how
[01:13] <alex_> to uninstall
[01:13] <Frogzoo> alex_: synaptic
[01:14] <Frogzoo> !fglrx > alex_
[01:14] <yaramaz> hi  have a us robotics 9110 and wireless usb adaptor but my ubuntu(5.10) isn't support it  try to use ndiswrapper but it can't do
[01:14] <alex_> first install 686 or uninstall 386
[01:15] <pradeep> 51488
[01:15] <alex_> ?
[01:15] <aunes> hey all. I'm trying to install wine on the 64bit distro... Being a newbie, I don't really understand how to (and what it means to) install a chroot 32bit system. What will this do to my computer? What will I have to keep up with? I found documentation on how to do the chroot, but I'm kinda scared b/c I don't really know what it does.
[01:15] <Frogzoo> alex_: uninstall  ubuntu-fglrx-386 first, then install linux-image-2.6.15-25-686
[01:16] <Gorlist> Hi
[01:16] <pradeep> hi Gorlist
[01:17] <Gorlist> having some problems with my Audio,
[01:17] <Gorlist> well it works more or less but im slightly confused :)
[01:18] <Subhuman> how so?
[01:18] <Gorlist> well ive got normal desktop speakers, nad a 5.1 USB headphone/mic set
[01:18] <Gorlist> nad - and
[01:18] <Gorlist> can ubuntu use both at the same time?
[01:19] <infeld> like
[01:19] <alex_> have i to remove linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-10-386?
[01:19] <Gorlist> or do I have to use the 'change device' option in the Volume Control system
[01:19] <infeld> dude. like
[01:19] <Subhuman> Gorlist, well it can only output to one at a time, and take input from one at a time
[01:19] <Gorlist> right
[01:19] <monomaniacpat> how do you force quit a program?
[01:19] <Subhuman> so you could have ure desktop speakers and your headsets mic
[01:20] <infeld> will ubuntu let me install without formatting an existing partition?
[01:20] <Gorlist> ok simple enough
[01:20] <infeld> monomaniacpat: xkill
[01:20] <Gorlist> how could I tell which one Buntu is using at anyone time,
[01:20] <Subhuman> Gorlist, like I use a usb mic with my desktops speakerS (i use headphones when im using the mic)
[01:20] <Gorlist> or if I turn on the USB headphone will it automatically use them
[01:20] <Subhuman> Gorlist, I am not sure.
[01:20] <alex_> have i to remove linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-10-386?
[01:21] <rpedro> Gorlist: System>>Preferences>>Sound
[01:21] <Gorlist> ok, part of the problem is im not able to get audio input from the mic
[01:21] <infeld> alex_: yes
[01:21] <rpedro> Gorlist: change the default device there
[01:21] <Gorlist> right i see
[01:21] <infeld> Gorlist: check volume on the mixer, and see if mic is active
[01:22] <monomaniacpat> infeld: that doesn't work: it says usage: -option
[01:22] <Gorlist> is the mixer called Volume Control?
[01:22] <Gorlist> if I open up the window from the speaker symbol top left
[01:23] <infeld> monomaniacpat: dude, it should be installed. or else install it man.
[01:23] <infeld> xkill is sweet
[01:24] <alex_> this remove too? linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-9-386
[01:25] <infeld> will ubuntu let me install without formatting an existing partition?
[01:26] <monomaniacpat> xkill already installed
[01:26] <narfmaster> which is bigger? openoffice or koffice?
[01:26] <infeld> narfmaster: openoffice man
[01:26] <MetaMorfoziS> infield, ubuntu need space, so you may create a new partition, if you don't want to format an other
[01:26] <infeld> narfmaster: openoffice is like, way bigger man
[01:26] <narfmaster> how much bigger?
[01:26] <Gorlist> still not getting any audio input
[01:26] <slonnik> hi al colleagues
[01:26] <Gorlist> select PCM Capture Source to Mic
[01:27] <alex_> this remove too? linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-9-386????????????
[01:27] <bimberi> infeld: yes, just head into 'manually edit the partition table' and tell it which ones are root and swap etc and not to format them
[01:27] <infeld> MetaMorfoziS: i have mandriva already installed in the partition. but i don't wanna lose a lot of documents in my home folder. and i have no way to backup
[01:27] <Frogzoo> alex_: you can leave that - just reboot - the 686 wont use the 386 modules
[01:27] <infeld> bimberi: thanks man. you kick ass
[01:27] <MetaMorfoziS> if no space to backup, wher do you want to isntall ubuntu?:)
[01:28] <infeld> MetaMorfoziS: i want to install it where mandriva is currently installed
[01:28] <bimberi> infeld: ha, np :) - it would be a very good idea if you could find a way to backup (eg. ftp-ing stuff to another pc)
[01:28] <MetaMorfoziS> infield it's impossible
[01:28] <MetaMorfoziS> without format, i think
[01:28] <infeld> MetaMorfoziS: the partition is 20GB, and I have 17GB of my own documents and files
[01:29] <ernz> Can someone help me please, It would appear that I am stupid.
[01:29] <alex_> Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
[01:29] <alex_> Abhngigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut... Fertig
[01:29] <alex_> E: Konnte Paket linux-image-2.6.15-25-686 nicht finden
[01:29] <alex_> alex@yoman:~$
[01:29] <infeld> MetaMorfoziS: bimberi just said it was possible
[01:29] <slonnik> does anyone use Synce plugin for MultiSync ?
[01:29] <MetaMorfoziS> and other partitions?
[01:29] <jrib> ernz: best to just ask
[01:29] <alex_> he can't found it
[01:29] <aunes> grr. I think the default Ubuntu repositories stink.... Any idea where I can find dchroot?
[01:29] <ernz> I changed on of the menu options in GNOME Terminal (Xterm) that removed the menu. Now when I load xterm, I can't access the menu to turn the menu's back on.
[01:29] <MetaMorfoziS> i don't know what i the possible way... ask bimberi about it...
[01:30] <jrib> ernz: I think ctrl-f10 is default shortcut key
[01:30] <ernz> I can't see which switch would run the terminal with menus either.
[01:30] <narfmaster> aunes, dchroot is in universe
[01:30] <slonnik> can anyone consult me about synce plugin for multisync
[01:30] <ernz> Hang on a sec, right clicking will allow me to access the profiles menu
[01:30] <infeld> MetaMorfoziS: no, no way for other partitions man, theyre stuffed too
[01:30] <stelki> aunes: multiverse I suppose
[01:30] <ernz> Thx again jrib
[01:31] <infeld> MetaMorfoziS: so like i just wanna install ubuntu but keep my stuff man
[01:31] <jrib> ernz: np, I did the same thing once...
[01:31] <ernz> Your usefulness is only surpassed by my newbee idiocy.
[01:31] <jrib> ernz: well we were all there once
[01:31] <stelki> aunes: or perhaps universe, I see it in my apt at least
[01:31] <monomaniacpat> I can't xkill a wine program - help!
[01:31] <alex_> he can't found the linux kernel when i type in  sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.15-25-686
[01:32] <aunes> weee! Thanks stelky / narfmaster
[01:32] <alex_> what to do
[01:32] <alex_> `
[01:32] <ernz> Ahh, much better :D
[01:32] <bimberi> infeld: i should say that the technique i've seen described is to boot from a livecd, mount the hdd and delete everything except /home (and /opt and /usr/local) and then install after that - i'm not sure about installing _over_ an existing install sorry
[01:32] <Virono> anyone knows a way to add a special key.. like for example.. I want pressing both right and left mouse buttons, to be treated as pressing alt+ctrl
[01:32] <jrib> alex_: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list please
[01:32] <ernz> I'm sure I'll BBL
[01:32] <ernz> Bye
[01:32] <slonnik> please help me with SynCE plugin
[01:32] <alex_> whats pastebim?
[01:32] <alex_> pastebin
[01:32] <Virono> anyone knows a way to add a special key.. like for example.. I want pressing both right and left mouse buttons, to be treated as pressing alt+ctrl
[01:32] <alex_> ?
[01:32] <bimberi> !pastebin
[01:33] <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)
[01:33] <infeld> bimberi: yeah man i plan to wipe out everything except my stuff man
[01:33] <jrib> Virono: maybe with xbindkeys but I'm not sure how well it works with mouse combos like that
[01:33] <aunes> I'm following a help file. It keeps telling me to put Hoary everywhere but since I'm running 6.06, I should put in Dapper, right?
[01:34] <Virono> jrib thanks
[01:34] <jrib> aunes: what is the help file for?
[01:34] <AlexC> hey

[01:37] <Sisyphus> any help with multilanguage input?
[01:38] <alex_> whats cat?
[01:39] <cast> alex_: oh. it's a command to print a file to stdout. you up a terminal, maybe gnome-terminal and type
[01:39] <cast> alex_: cat /etc/apt/sources.list   and that will print the contents of that file to screen

[01:40] <Gorlist> from USB headset
[01:40] <Gorlist> In the Volume Control PCM catpure Source is set to mic
[01:40] <cast> alex_: if you type "whatis cat" at the terminal, that should give you an answer too
[01:41] <rpedro> Gorlist: is the headset detected?
[01:41] <rpedro> when you plug it in
[01:41] <livingdaylight> Hi, not ubunut related, but...i got an .odt file i want to compress to .gz can someone tell me?
[01:42] <ryanakca> hey, when I registered for launchpad, it created a wiki account, how do I change the wiki's username?
[01:42] <narfmaster> livingdaylight, you could use Archive Manager (file-roller)
[01:42] <rpedro> livingdaylight: open the folder with the file in a nautilus window, then right click -> create archive , done.
[01:42] <livingdaylight> narfmaster: can you say more
[01:42] <livingdaylight> rpedro: ok
[01:42] <narfmaster> what rpedro said :)
[01:42] <infeld> we're all stupid man
[01:42] <livingdaylight>  :)
[01:43] <ryanakca> livingdaylight: open a terminal and type in "gzip filenamegoeshere"
[01:44] <alex_> what i have to do when i throw up it on http://rafb.net/paste
[01:44] <alex_> ?
[01:44] <jrib> alex_: give us the URL
[01:44] <alex_> http://rafb.net/paste/results/k1Wh7s19.html
[01:45] <livingdaylight> rpedro: it says open with archive manager. I see no 'create' anything anywhere.
[01:45] <Gorlist>  rpedro: sorry was getting the dog in. Well it works?
[01:45] <Gorlist> I get sound through it
[01:45] <cast> livingdaylight: alternatively. "gzip filename.odt" will do it
[01:46] <ShadowLurker> Jack_Sparrow?
[01:46] <rpedro> livingdaylight: you right clicked on the file you want to compress?
[01:46] <ShadowLurker> if somebody can help me with Gaim, please go to #UbuntuPalace
[01:47] <alex_> and now?
[01:47] <Gorlist> right I can just about hear myself, its working be really really quiet
[01:47] <livingdaylight> rpedro: sure
[01:47] <rpedro> livingdaylight: what type of file is it ?
[01:48] <livingdaylight> .odt
[01:48] <jrib> alex_: is line 24 really one line in your file?
[01:48] <livingdaylight> rpedro: .odt O.O doc
[01:48] <narfmaster> alex_, you're missing an end-of-line in line 24
[01:48] <rpedro> Gorlist: go into edit->preferences , in volume control
[01:48] <rpedro> and select 'mic boost'
[01:49] <ShadowLurker> IF YOU CAN HELP ME WITH GAIM, PLEASE JOIN #UBUNTUPALACE OR IM ME!
[01:49] <jrib> !caps
[01:49] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[01:49] <ShadowLurker> sry
[01:49] <jrib> ShadowLurker: just ask your question here, or you can try #gaim
[01:49] <Gorlist> theirs Auto Gain Control?
[01:49] <livingdaylight> cast: i did 'gzip filename.odt didn't work?
[01:50] <rpedro> livingdaylight: it won't compress it because it already detects it as compressed file, .odt files are really zip files (I think) with xml ,etc. files inside
[01:50] <livingdaylight> rpedro: ooops
[01:51] <livingdaylight> cast it said no such filename or directory
[01:51] <ome> Anyone know an easy way to assign alt key to one of my mouse buttons?
[01:51] <cyne> hey y'all
[01:51] <livingdaylight> rpedro: can i rename it to something else?
[01:51] <ompaul> foxiness, #foxiness1
[01:51] <Gorlist> wired
[01:51] <ryanakca> when I registered for launchpad, it created a wiki account, how do I change the wiki's username?
[01:51] <jrib> alex_: the reason you don't have linux-image-2.6.15-25-686 is because you are using breezy.  linux-image-2.6.15-25-686 is only available in dapper which is the current stable release of ubuntu.  I'll send you update instructions if you are interested
[01:52] <jrib> !upgrade > alex_
[01:52] <Gorlist> wired, see I can hear alot of background noice, and faintly my voice
[01:52] <alex_> thanks
[01:52] <livingdaylight> anyone know for sure whether .odt files cannot not be gzipped? I thought .odt was just the Open Office equivalent of .doc
[01:52] <mocosuelo> hola alguien en espaol
[01:52] <Gorlist> but regardless of what I adjust it stays quiet
[01:52] <jrib> !es
[01:52] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[01:52] <cyne> i've got apache2 and php5 installed but when i connect to apache in the browser, i get the option to download index.php.. what's up with that?
[01:52] <cyne> i've checked in the wiki and nothing is working for me
[01:52] <jrib> cyne: is the php5 module enabled? try 'sudo a2enmod php5'
[01:53] <narfmaster> livingdaylight, anything can be gzipped
[01:53] <ryanakca> livingdaylight: anyfile can be gzipped.
[01:53] <cyne> narfmaster, yes it is
[01:53] <alex_> what is this for a link?
[01:53] <rpedro> livingdaylight: like ryanakca said , you can compress to gzip using terminal, type in 'gzip <filename>'
[01:53] <ryanakca> livingdaylight: open a terminal and type in "gzip filename.odt"
[01:53] <jrib> alex_: dapper upgrade instructions, did ubotu send them to you?
[01:53] <rpedro> livingdaylight: probably not a good idea to just rename it
[01:53] <alex_> i' m interested
[01:54] <cyne> "This module is already enabled!"
[01:54] <alex_> no
[01:54] <jrib> alex_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades
[01:54] <cyne> jrib: yes it is
[01:54] <ryanakca> upgrade to dapper or to edgy?
[01:54] <cyne> jrib, i can't work out why it's not parsing the php for me
[01:55] <CrippsFX> ryanakca, dapper. edgy is not usable yet.
[01:55] <ryanakca> kk, phew...
[01:55] <CrippsFX> :)
[01:55] <jrib> cyne: did you reload apache after enabling it? and clear your browser's cache?
[01:55] <cyne> jrib... ahhh didn't clear the cache, i'll try that
[01:56] <narfmaster> don't you need "libapache2-mod-php" to use php?
[01:56] <cyne> narfmaster, yep got that
[01:56] <cyne> jrib, same thing :(
[01:58] <jrib> cyne: not sure what else to suggest, sorry
[01:59] <cyne> ok thanks anyway
[01:59] <rem> .
[02:01] <paddedwall> morning everyone - I have a large question - is everyone ready?
[02:02] <paddedwall> System: ASROCK 939 Dual Sata2, AMD64 3500, 1gb PC3200 RAM, nVidia 7900GTX, two SATA1 drives (BIOS set to use SATA1 mode), two EIDE drives, new Lite-On DVD writer.  Boot drive is brnad new Seagate 200gb EIDE.
[02:02] <paddedwall> Tried installing Drake from desktop CD. The install hung up after I clicked "Restart Computer" at the line that reads "Shutting down LVM volume groups...".  After waiting for about 10 minutes, I did a hard reset to see if system would boot.  It got all the way to the point where is was "Loading hardw
[02:02] <paddedwall> well that didn't work...
[02:02] <paddedwall> i'll try it in smaller chunks
[02:02] <paddedwall> System: ASROCK 939 Dual Sata2, AMD64 3500, 1gb PC3200 RAM, nVidia 7900GTX, two SATA1 drives (BIOS set to use SATA1 mode), two EIDE drives, new Lite-On DVD writer.  Boot drive is brnad new Seagate 200gb EIDE.
[02:02] <paddedwall> Tried installing Drake from desktop CD. The install hung up after I clicked "Restart Computer" at the line that reads "Shutting down LVM volume groups...".
[02:03] <paddedwall> After waiting for about 10 minutes, I did a hard reset to see if system would boot.  It got all the way to the point where is was "Loading hardware drivers" and hung.
[02:03] <paddedwall> I tried reinstalling a couple of times, butno joy. Next, I tried to install Breezy. The install couldn't resolve my DHCP connection, and after "detecting hardware", if froze up on an empty blue screen.
[02:03] <paddedwall> Finally, I tried installing Drake from the "alternate" CD. It was almost done installing the system files, and it got to 97% and the status line said "Cleaning up", but it just sat there.
[02:03] <paddedwall> I'm currently downloading PCLinuxOS because it was the first one I could think of that was a single CD install other than Ubuntu.
[02:03] <paddedwall> I don't really want to use PCLinux, but I want to be able to say I've tried anything anyone might come up with.
[02:03] <paddedwall> Does anyone have any ideas that wiull help me get Ubuntu installed?
[02:04] <narfmaster> hmm
[02:04] <narfmaster> wow, dual sata2
[02:05] <narfmaster> not sure if that'll work with Ubuntu
[02:05] <paddedwall> look at the text - it's running two sata1 drives in sata1 mode
[02:05] <narfmaster> i'm using ye olde IDE here
[02:05] <paddedwall> i'm installing onto an ide drive as well
[02:05] <paddedwall> a 200gb ide drive
[02:06] <paddedwall> this is also not a dual-boot configuration
[02:06] <paddedwall> and i'm not running raid
[02:07] <narfmaster> paddedwall, the problem seems to be kernel-related though
[02:07] <paddedwall> if it's kernel related, why doesn't breezy install either?
[02:07] <redblades> Hi, is there a way to configure the appearance of apache webfolders?
[02:07] <narfmaster> it could be your hardware is too new for Breezy
[02:07] <redblades> as in, how the contents look? I'm thinking background color font, etc
[02:08] <paddedwall> this is pretty frsutrating...
[02:09] <truzak> hello, apt-get refuses to apply (keep back) latest libcairo2 updates, anyone else having this issue?
[02:09] <noobian> hi all
[02:09] <narfmaster> paddedwall, it could be your network hardware possibly
[02:09] <paddedwall> you mean the onboard nic?
[02:09] <narfmaster> maybe
[02:10] <Gorlist> ok well it appears to be a driver problem perhaps - though I get audio through the headphone I can't vary the volume, the mic does work but real quiet even with mic boost/gain
[02:10] <Gorlist> any suggestions?
[02:10] <noobian> can anybody help me about kernel compiling?
[02:11] <narfmaster> libcairo2 updates?
[02:11] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, paste the output of 'amixer' in pastebin plz
[02:11] <paddedwall> i'm pretty pissed off that Linux won't install on this box...
[02:12] <Gorlist> pppoe_dude: sorry how do I do that ?
[02:12] <truzak> narfmaster: few hours ago update-manager warned about new updates, but they dont applied...
[02:12] <paddedwall> and most likely because "the hardware is too new"
[02:12] <noobian> can anybody help me about kernel compiling?
[02:12] <narfmaster> paddedwall, you could try shutting down and installing without the sata drives
[02:12] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, run 'amixer > amixer_output.text' then open gedit, select everything and paste in pastebin
[02:12] <pppoe_dude> !pastebin
[02:12] <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)
[02:12] <paddedwall> especially when Windows 2000 doesn't seem to have a problem with it, and that os is 6 years old
[02:13] <paddedwall> i'm not going to disconnect the sata drives just to install Linux...
[02:13] <thesonork> guys maybe u can help me: i got this gericom laptop at home (very old one, this X5Force) and i cannot install linux on it, even the Live cd does not work, whats up there?
[02:13] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, *open amixer_output.text with gedit
[02:13] <paddedwall> Thelive CD boots up fine
[02:13] <paddedwall> why doesn't it boot up fine from an install on a hard drive?
[02:14] <narfmaster> paddedwall, did you install 32 or 64 bit?
[02:14] <paddedwall> 32 bit
[02:14] <Gorlist> ok got it - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16998
[02:14] <wizardjames> how do you restart in line..
[02:14] <Gorlist> their 5.1 USB headphones/mic
[02:15] <ufk> is there something to overcome samba's 2GB file size limit?
[02:15] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, and the problem is with the mic or all audio?
[02:15] <pcmf> Hi
[02:15] <Gorlist> I have no audio volume control & the mic is deadly quiet
[02:15] <Gorlist> even with mic boost
[02:15] <pcmf> Anyone know of a program workable on the latest Ubuntu 6.06 that's similar to Xvidcap?
[02:16] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, oh so this is not from a sound card... just USB?
[02:16] <paddedwall> Ya know what it kinda looks like to me is that the LVM support is broken...
[02:16] <Gorlist> just USB
[02:16] <Gorlist> are their 5.1 USB drivers or something?
[02:16] <pcmf> I need a program to capture my desktop down to an .avi or .mpg/.mpeg file with sound
[02:16] <narfmaster> paddedwall, possibly
[02:16] <pcmf> any suggestions?
[02:16] <richard> help!
[02:16] <wizardjames> How do i restart the computer when i am in x
[02:16] <narfmaster> will VLC capture with sound?
[02:17] <richard> need help with bloothooth
[02:17] <pcmf> VLC?
[02:17] <narfmaster> i'm pretty sure VLC can capture video
[02:17] <paddedwall> maybe I can't use the whole 200gb drive, but I've never seen anything mentioned about drive size limitations...
[02:17] <richard> ie how to connect to my phone - is there a bluetooth package for ubuntu?
[02:17] <pcmf> i'll try VLC then
[02:17] <pcmf> Xvidcap are so old now
[02:17] <Matrikz> wizardjames: what WM are you using?
[02:18] <wizardjames> clb
[02:18] <pcmf> i cant even install it on my machine cause my required libs are too new :D
[02:18] <wizardjames> its something .. 7
[02:18] <S1ixx> need your help lol
[02:18] <Matrikz> don't think i've used that one
[02:18] <wizardjames> theres no WM
[02:18] <Matrikz> no i mean like KDE or iceWM or fluxbox
[02:18] <wizardjames> its linebased right now
[02:19] <wizardjames> trying to get gnome working but it crashed
[02:19] <S1ixx> how do i get the Sound recorder to work properly ?
[02:19] <Matrikz> open up a terminal and type in init 3
[02:19] <S1ixx> when i click record on microphone .. it goes to capture
[02:19] <Matrikz> or quit x
[02:19] <S1ixx> and doesnt record !
[02:19] <Matrikz> i think
[02:19] <Gorlist>  anyideas in the end?
[02:19] <Matrikz> if you use init 3
[02:19] <Matrikz> to get back to x just type in init 4
[02:19] <Matrikz> then log in
[02:20] <S1ixx> how do i get the Sound recorder to work properly ?
[02:20] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, 1 sec
[02:20] <S1ixx> when i click record on microphone .. it goes to capture
[02:20] <S1ixx> and doesnt record !
[02:20] <Gorlist> nps
[02:20] <Pupeno> Hello. Do you know of a caching DNS server more lightweight than Bind to run on my notebook to avoid having to use my ISP's dns servers (which are not working correctly) ?
[02:22] <cast> what spec laptop? wouldn't have thought bind would be a significant load
[02:23] <paddedwall> well, pclinux is done downloading. I'm gonna go see if I can install it on this box...
[02:23] <tiredbones> I'm using breezy. received an email yesterday that has locked up evolution. I can not delete the email, nor ca i do anything else with evolution. The email has an attachment to it, which I think is causing the problem. How can I just get rid of that email?
[02:24] <wizardjames> Woot nvidia is woroking on my tnt2 ..ftw i just had to reconfiger serverx-xorg ..for the 2000 time
[02:24] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist,  try 'amixer set Speaker 50%'
[02:24] <pcmf> Cant seem to find any information about VLc being able to capture my screen into video
[02:24] <pcmf> anyother suggestions?
[02:24] <Gentix> is it possible to convert my system to reiserfs4?
[02:25] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, and tell me what it says on the first line of that output
[02:25] <narfmaster> must have confused VLC with something else
[02:26] <Gorlist> ok trying now
[02:27] <Gorlist> pppoe_dude: amixer set Speaker 50%
[02:27] <vir_novum> why do you want to convert to reiserfs?
[02:27] <Gorlist> sorry
[02:27] <Gorlist> opps
[02:27] <Gentix> vir_novum: it is reiserfs3
[02:27] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, did it give you an output?
[02:27] <Gorlist> pppoe_dude: Simple mixer control 'Speaker',0
[02:27] <Gentix> vir_novum: whats wrong with reiserfs??
[02:27] <pppoe_dude> ok'
[02:27] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, anything different now?
[02:27] <Gorlist> then some other bits below it
[02:28] <vir_novum> just from what i heard the differences in performance were negligible unless you had a huge amount of small files
[02:28] <vir_novum> between reiserfs and say, ext3
[02:28] <os2mac> OK just installed LTS on my Inspiron 8600 it detected my wlan card but when I go enable it I get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: no such file or diretory" and I am using Kubuntu... but doesn't seem anyone is able to help there......
[02:28] <Gorlist> pppoe_dude: no
[02:28] <aunes> grrr.
[02:29] <aunes> looks like I actually have to go back, redownload and reinstall 32 bit ubuntu
[02:29] <Gorlist> right heres what strange, when I adjust the volume on the headphone the volume slider appears on buntu and moves back and forward
[02:29] <Gentix> vir_novum: what people tell me is that reiserfs is faster then ext3
[02:29] <vir_novum> i can't imagine you'd notice a difference if you upgraded
[02:29] <Gorlist> but maks no difference to the volume
[02:29] <pppoe_dude> hmmm
[02:29] <Gorlist> I mean when I use the volume adjust buttons on the headphones
[02:30] <vir_novum> there are some situations where ext3 is better, some where reiser is better, from what i've heard
[02:30] <Gorlist> so its connected with buntu atleast
[02:30] <Fluxboxen> Hi guys, I have NZBperl, everytime i double click it it opens with Gedit. Anyone know how to run perl scripts through terminal properly?
[02:30] <vir_novum> reiser has the slight advantage but it's not very noticible
[02:30] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, what is the name of the headphones exactly?
[02:30] <vir_novum> and I can get windows working with ext3, so that tips the balance
[02:30] <Gentix> vir_novum: okay, but then again. is it possible to convert to reiserfs4?
[02:31] <richard> yay! got bluetooth working on ubuntu
[02:31] <Gorlist> they are SpeedLink Medusa 5.1
[02:31] <vir_novum> like i said, i think you'd have to reformat
[02:31] <pppoe_dude> k
[02:31] <vir_novum> and i doubt you'd notice a differnce
[02:31] <Gentix> vir_novum: okay.. but it is supported by the standard kernel???
[02:31] <Gorlist> right, i just added Speaker 2 to the mixer interface
[02:31] <Fluxboxen> Gorlist, My dad has them, they have good sound but their drivers for windows are abominable
[02:31] <decious> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1202068#post1202068
[02:31] <Gorlist> that controls the volume on the headphones instead of speaker
[02:32] <Gorlist> but again the volume buttons themselfs have no effect
[02:32] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, yes there were two 'speakers' and one of them was muted
[02:32] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, do they work at least?
[02:32] <Gorlist> i get sounds, but no mic
[02:32] <Gorlist> rephrase, I get mic but useless level
[02:33] <mp3guy> how do I run sudo commands on startup without having to enter my password
[02:33] <stevko> I have a question about how to install nvidia driver (I read BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia on wiki). However in /etc/X11/xorg.conf stays Driver "nv" and if I change nv to nvidia, I get "FATAL: Module nvidia not found." anyone can help?
[02:33] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, ok... there is probably a driver issue, because the mixer seems to be *properly* configured
[02:33] <vir_novum> heh, actually i don't think reiserfs4 is supported by the standard kernel, let me look it up
[02:34] <Gentix> k
[02:34] <Gorlist> ok
[02:34] <wastrel> mp3guy:  you can add the command to /etc/sudoers  with the nopasswd flag
[02:34] <Gorlist> are their any other drivers I could try?
[02:34] <killaz> lo guys.... is there a tool in linux which let you just choose colour from a colour wheel....
[02:34] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, unless the mic playback has something to do with it... you can try and increasing that
[02:34] <Calix> hi guys, i installed 5.10 yesterday because the 6.06 cd wouldn't work properly, then i updated 5.10 with 157 meg of stuff, now when i switch my laptop on, all i get is a blank screen, no gnome
[02:34] <Gorlist> i can turn everything to max
[02:34] <cast> vir_novum: its not
[02:35] <wastrel> mp3guy:  or you can just set up the init script that's running it so it has superuser perms
[02:35] <Gorlist> mic is still quiet
[02:35] <mp3guy> wastrel, at what point are those commands run?
[02:35] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, even in the 'capture' tab?
[02:35] <ompaul> killaz, what application
[02:35] <Gentix> cast: there's no reiserfs 4 support
[02:35] <cast> Gentix: agreed.
[02:35] <jorgg> The live CD thing doesnt work, and i want to install ubuntu and use as desktop permanently, what type of iso should i download?
[02:35] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, and the playback tab? make sure you go to EDIT>Preferences and select all the items there
[02:35] <DocTomoe> I am still having problems getting ndiswrapper to work with my kubuntu dapper fresh-from-start-install. I managed to get the non-working bcm-kernel-drivers out of memory, however, ndiswrapper doesn't seem to work either. Any helpful ideas?
[02:35] <cast> i should patch me kernel :), i think it's stable enough
[02:35] <Gentix> cast: okay.. that ends my search!
[02:36] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, or you can try 'alsamixer' and crank up everything there
[02:36] <killaz> ompaul, I dont really need an application but a tool which let me fill in a colour or pick a colour in HTML, RGB, CYMK format
[02:36] <Gorlist> im using the Volume Control
[02:36] <Gorlist> guess thats the right place?
[02:36] <wastrel> mp3guy:  it depends on how you set it up to run on startup
[02:36] <Gorlist> Playbakc is full
[02:36] <Gentix> vir_novum: Thanx for the help!
[02:36] <vir_novum> oh sure, if i was at all :p
[02:36] <os2mac> DOC did you not get your nic auto installed on install?
[02:36] <Gorlist> will try it now
[02:36] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, try 'alsamixer' and make sure everything is unmuted and full there - sometimes alsa mixer shows more stuf
[02:36] <killaz> ompaul, I'm right now building a website and i need to pick some colours to CSS
[02:36] <vir_novum> anyone have any experience with winmodems?
[02:36] <ompaul> killaz, ahh - then what you want to do is go to gimp and use its wheel
[02:36] <DocTomoe> os2mac: I beg your pardon?
[02:37] <ompaul> !winmodem
[02:37] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[02:37] <vir_novum> did that
[02:37] <os2mac> you said you are using NDISwrapper.....
[02:37] <tiredbones> I'm using breezy. I received an email yesterday that has locked up evolution. I can not delete the email, nor can i do anything else with evolution. The email has an attachment to it, which I think is causing the problem. How can I just get rid of that email?
[02:37] <os2mac> and your using a broadcom nic...
[02:37] <jorgg> Is it possible to install ubuntu without logging into the live desktop function first? What iso should I use?
[02:37] <finalbeta> !chm
[02:37] <ubotu> I know nothing about chm
[02:37] <DocTomoe> os2mac: I said I want to use ndiswrapper, but i do not get a wlan0 interface
[02:37] <pppoe_dude> jorgg, download 'alternate install' CD
[02:37] <killaz> ompaul, I think starting GIMP for this is like using a crane to lift a small bucket of water....
[02:37] <finalbeta> How can I show windows help file format? (compressed html)
[02:37] <vir_novum> my modem worked just fine, then i installed the dapper updates, now it dials veeeerrrry slowly and runs at half speed
[02:37] <ompaul> vir_novum,  I solved one of those the other day by searching on google with the keywords "ubuntu Make Model" it took me 15 minutes
[02:38] <DocTomoe> os2mac: well, I didn't say that, but that's what I meant
[02:38] <ompaul> killaz, well it is all I know
[02:38] <jorgg> pppoe_dude;  okay
[02:38] <kimo_^_> Hi, is it possible to install and use two DIFFERENT java versions on one Linux machine. And point applications to different versions. Please let me know asap ....
[02:38] <Gorlist> right some more information, the Volume control on the headphone set its self controls the mic volume??
[02:38] <os2mac> what type of computer are you on?
[02:38] <ompaul> killaz, and it offers hundreds of meters of lift :-)
[02:38] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, yes and yes
[02:38] <DocTomoe> os2mac: this is an acer extensa laptop
[02:38] <os2mac> Paladine.....
[02:38] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, depends on which java kinds you're thinking
[02:38] <os2mac> what brings you here?
[02:38] <Paladine> heya bud :)
[02:38] <chrisbudden14> does anyone know if skype for linux works on AMD64 ?
[02:38] <killaz> ompaul, exactly....
[02:38] <kimo_^_> pppoe_dude, thnx a lot .... what do u mean ?
[02:38] <Paladine> been hanging here for a couple of weeks now
[02:39] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, and depends on how clean you want them to be. like, it is not a good idea to install two different Sun java's
[02:39] <os2mac> I am in and out....
[02:39] <Paladine> I greeted you in offtopic, but you ignored me :p
[02:39] <vir_novum> i've got an amd64 processor but I'm running the 32 bit version
[02:39] <Calix> anyone know why my laptop screen is blank when i boot my newly upgraded ubuntu (was 5.10)
[02:39] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, + not possible with apt-get.. only binaries
[02:39] <os2mac> trying to get my wlan nic working on my lappy...
[02:39] <killaz> ompaul, :S ...
[02:39] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, but you can have gnu java and sun java installed and use both
[02:39] <kimo_^_> pppoe_dude, I have no problem installing from non debs ... (from Sun downloads)
[02:39] <Calix> i think its logged into ubuntu, but not showing anything on the screen
[02:39] <Zambezi> I'm trying to configure glftpd, but this doesn't work: 21/tcp  open  ftp What should I do? This link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=f8a84c7edf9fc3e55607d0e24ed6923c&t=87505&highlight=glftpd
[02:40] <kimo_^_> pppoe_dude, basically how do I point apps to a certain version ?
[02:40] <vir_novum> um, i have an intel 536ep modem, which intel actually released the source for the drivers for
[02:40] <Gorlist> i give up
[02:40] <Gorlist> thanks for the help
[02:40] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, well... way i would do it is just issue a '/path/to/java -jar <app name>'
[02:40] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, or write a small shell script that does that
[02:41] <kimo_^_> pppoe_dude, what if the application uses java libs ..
[02:41] <stelki> hey how would I tar -xzf all tgz archives in a directory? (100+ archives)
[02:41] <vir_novum> it goes beep (long pause) beep (long pause) beep.... etc, when it dials
[02:41] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, shouldnt be an issue....
[02:41] <wastrel> beep
[02:41] <kimo_^_> pppoe_dude, how will it be handled ?
[02:42] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, are you running jar fiels?
[02:42] <vir_novum> and it connects at like half the speed it was before
[02:42] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, the java binary iirc will handle the paths to the libs
[02:42] <kimo_^_> pppoe_dude, no, I'm running large applications like oracle
[02:43] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, this is as much as i know... you can try and see if it works
[02:43] <kimo_^_> pppoe_dude, ok thanks a lot :)
[02:43] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, you can also try #java
[02:44] <linux_user> trying to install a deb package here, get this error under gdebi----Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: xlibs
[02:44] <linux_user> how would i solve this?
[02:44] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, what are you trying to install?
[02:44] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, opera?
[02:44] <kinema> how do i remove a package (mldonkey-server) that did not fully install because the packager was drunk and screwed up the package?
[02:44] <linux_user> nerolinux
[02:44] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, i believe xlibs was replaced by another package in dapper...
[02:45] <monomaniacpat> I have an application I can't close - xkill doesn't seem to work (sudo wine xkill)
[02:45] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, try 'apt-get -f install' and see if it suggests any packages
[02:45] <Calix> anyone know why my screen is blank? is it because of my laptop specs maybe?
[02:45] <pppoe_dude> monomaniacpat, 'killall <app name>
[02:45] <pppoe_dude> '
[02:45] <linux_user> ppooe_dude apt-get -f install nerolinux?
[02:46] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, without nerophibia
[02:46] <pppoe_dude> oopsp
[02:46] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, without nerolinux
[02:46] <linux_user> ok
[02:46] <cast> doh. you guys aren't supposed to use nero!
[02:47] <narfmaster> i use nrg2iso
[02:47] <linux_user> ppoe_dude 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[02:47] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, oh so nerolinux didn't even extract?
[02:48] <linux_user> i have a nrg file to burn to dvd, unable to figure how to do it
[02:48] <wastrel> linux_user:  is this package from an ubuntu repo?
[02:48] <linux_user> nerolinux?
[02:48] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, nrg2iso
[02:48] <linux_user> cannot figure out the command to run nrg2iso
[02:48] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, apt-get install nrg2iso
[02:49] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, then run it
[02:49] <linux_user> ppoe_dude nrg2iso is installed, unable to figure out the command
[02:49] <narfmaster> linux_user, nrg2iso image.nrg image.iso
[02:49] <linux_user> ive run that command does not work, let me try again
[02:49] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, what narfmaster
[02:49] <pppoe_dude> said
[02:50] <narfmaster> worked fine the last time i tried it
[02:50] <Calix> will i need tom completely re-install ubuntu again now then?
[02:50] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, also try 'man nrg2iso' if u need more info
[02:50] <bina> When I try to install inkscape I get the following error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17000 ./configure doesnt say I'm missing any libraries.  It does it whenever I try to compile something that uses GTK.  does anyone know what the problem might be and how I can fix it?
[02:51] <pppoe_dude> bina, why are you installing from source?
[02:51] <wastrel> bina:  inkscape 0.43 is in the ubuntu repos
[02:51] <linux_user> nrg2iso image.nrg image.iso
[02:51] <linux_user> --version    display version number
[02:51] <linux_user> --help       display this notice
[02:51] <bina> pppoe_dude, I'm trying to install 0.44, only 0.43 is in the repos
[02:51] <linux_user> thats all it does
[02:52] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, nrg2iso --help
[02:52] <linux_user> ok
[02:52] <bina> wastrel: yeah, i want to try 0.44 though :) too impatient to wait :P
[02:52] <narfmaster> inkscape 0.44 has lots of improvements
[02:53] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, did u specify the right nrg image?
[02:53] <linux_user> knew i shouldve left my dvd burner on my windows machine
[02:53] <u221e> Is there a way to change where mplayer looks for the win32 codecs?
[02:53] <linux_user> ppoe_dude yes
[02:53] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, nrg2iso <absolute path to nrg image> image.iso
[02:53] <penguin42> narfmaster: If the 'configure' has said it is ok then it is an inkscape bug; please report it to them - it is possible that you just need to install something, but their configure should have spotted it
[02:53] <linux_user> ppoe no understandy
[02:54] <narfmaster> i installed inkscape binary, i didn't compile it
[02:54] <linux_user> command line is very foreign to me
[02:54] <wastrel> bina you probably need a newer version of that library its complaining about  libpango ...
[02:54] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, for example, 'nrg2iso /home/linux_user/image.nrg target.iso
[02:54] <pppoe_dude> where /home/linux_user/image.nrg is the original IMAGE you wwant to convert
[02:54] <linux_user> ok
[02:55] <bina> wastrel: sweet, I'll try to install it.  I think i might upgrade to dapper if not then hopefully most of my libraries will be upgraded
[02:55] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, if it is easier, change directory to where that image is and replace with nrg2iso ./source.nrg target.iso
[02:55] <monomaniacpat> Can anyone tell me how to force quit a program - how do I get program manager?
[02:55] <pppoe_dude> monomaniacpat, go to a terminal window, type: killall <app name>
[02:56] <penguin42> monomaniacpat: From the 'system' menu, go to 'administration' and then to 'system manager'
[02:56] <mc__> monomaniacpat, alt-F2 xkill
[02:56] <penguin42> monomaniacpat: Sorry 'system monitor'
[02:56] <wastrel> tmtowtdi
[02:56] <pppoe_dude> monomaniacpat, alternatively, type 'top' then press 'k' and select the number of the process running (left column) then press enter and type '9' then enter
[02:56] <mc__> monomaniacpat, killall $appName -9 kills it immidiately
[02:57] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, did it work?
[02:57] <linux_user> naaa, im lost
[02:57] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, where is the .nrg image located?
[02:57] <monomaniacpat> thanks guys, system monitor worked. Couldn't work out the name of the app, as it was wine running a windows prog
[02:57] <linux_user> it should create the iso on the desktop where the nrg is correct?
[02:58] <slonnik> ehmm nobody helps me with synce and multisync
[02:58] <mc__> monomaniacpat,  wine,wineserver,wine-preloader
[02:58] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, if you run it right yes
[02:58] <dsas> !patience > slonnik
[02:58] <linux_user> not happening
[02:58] <Calix> linux_user in windows, the abscolue address is something like c:\downloads\image.nrg
[02:58] <elliot__> hey all, A few days ago I installed ubuntu on a use largest continuous free space partition. This should have been teh 80gb area of the harddrive I left unpartitioned for the installation. Now I can't boot back into windows or my recovery partition. Ubuntu just claims they're not there
[02:58] <Calix> in linux its similar, but different
[02:58] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, did u type cd '~/Desktop'?
[02:58] <linux_user> ppoe yes sir
[02:58] <dsas> slonnik: multisync and synce was flaky at best last time I tried
[02:58] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, are you getting an error?
[02:59] <linux_user> terminal cd /home/linuxuser/Deskto
[02:59] <linux_user> p
[02:59] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, paste all what you are typing and getting in a pastebin
[02:59] <slonnik> sorry what is "flaky" ?
[02:59] <pppoe_dude> !pastebin > linux_user
[02:59] <linux_user> sorry whats a pastebin?
[02:59] <pppoe_dude> !pastebin
[02:59] <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)
[02:59] <dsas> slonnik: Uhm, "unreliable" is probably a better term.
[03:00] <linux_user> Im just wasting your time here, thanks for the help, its much appreciated
[03:00] <slonnik> how can i syncronise my contatcts from Qteck to Ximian ?
[03:01] <wastrel> ximian eh - you can run that on ubuntu?
[03:01] <Calix> i updated my breezy (i think to dapper), and rebooted to complete the install, now all i get when gnome should be loaded is a blank screen, but my laptop is still running, any idea why?
[03:01] <slonnik> I really liked Ubuntu but still can't throw windows off i need syncronisation
[03:01] <pppoe_dude> slonnik, synchronise or import/export?
[03:01] <wastrel> Calix:  probably your x server isn't configured properly
[03:02] <elliot__>  hey all, A few days ago I installed ubuntu on a use largest continuous free space partition. This should have been teh 80gb area of the harddrive I left unpartitioned for the installation. Now I can't boot back into windows or my recovery partition. Ubuntu just seems to ignore them
[03:02] <kinema> has anyone here ever managed to get the mldonkey-server package in universe to install?
[03:02] <Calix> wastrel i ran the recovery and it said something about my x server, but i didn;t know what that meant
[03:03] <wastrel> Calix:  that's the program that manages your display/monitor
[03:03] <Calix> i can only access the recovery, so is it possible to fix it this way?
[03:03] <elliot__> Calix, what graphics card do you have?
[03:03] <narfmaster> elliot__, from the live CD?
[03:03] <wastrel> calix, try running  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:04] <elliot__> yeah
[03:04] <Calix> wastrel - a via 64mb onboard km400/kn400 i believe
[03:04] <JdGordon> help, how do i get gcc working? ive just installed the gcc package but it still wont compile anything
[03:04] <slonnik> sorry guys
[03:04] <RustyJames> elliot__, can you mount the windows partitions?
[03:04] <Calix> ok, thanks
[03:04] <narfmaster> elliot__, did you try rebooting the live CD
[03:04] <slonnik> i need syncroisation likw with windows XP
[03:04] <elliot__> oh, I not running off the live CD, I installed using it
[03:04] <Calix> thank the lord for dual boot lol
[03:04] <slonnik> when i syncronise my Outlook with Pocket PC
[03:04] <elliot__> no rusty I can't
[03:04] <monomaniacpat> anyone know how to view game cd's with wine installed or how to get steam to install properly?
[03:04] <furax_> hi, i try to install xubuntu but during install, i have a black screen with 2 small white square ... I try to burn another image and to change CD-ROM drive but It always freeze ...
[03:05] <slonnik> so i wonna synchornise Evolution
[03:05] <narfmaster> elliot__, i was thinking you could examine the partitions again using the live CD
[03:05] <RustyJames> elliot__, can you see the other partitions e.g. with fdisk ?
[03:05] <elliot__> oh, ok, I'll try that now, I  will be back
[03:06] <slonnik> i am eager to throw windows out but i can't do it till i make such PocketPC syncroisation on Ubuntu
[03:06] <elliot__> no never tried fdisk?
[03:06] <penguin42> furax_: You might like to try doing an install from the server or alternate cds - its a much smaller install; if that works then you can try adding other stuff
[03:06] <Calix> slonnik i have no experience with these 2 programs, but is there not an export setting/ export contacts etc option on 1, and an import on the other?
[03:06] <elliot__> how'd u use it
[03:06] <monomaniacpat> anyone? anyone at all?!
[03:06] <RustyJames> try fdisk -l
[03:06] <RustyJames> as root
[03:06] <wastrel> !anyone
[03:06] <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?
[03:07] <furax_> penguin42: I use the alternate CD
[03:07] <slonnik> Calix you may be right but import exprot is not 100% exact what i am lookin' for
[03:07] <elliot__> no, just
[03:07] <elliot__> /dev/sdd1               2       36481   293025600    f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
[03:07] <elliot__> /dev/sdd5               2       36481   293025568+   7  HPFS/NTFS
[03:07] <penguin42> furax: when you get these two white squares - the rest of the screen is just black? What was the last thing on the screen before that happened?
[03:07] <pppoe_dude> oops
[03:07] <Calix> ok, no problem, just thought i might suggest it
[03:07] <elliot__> oh ok, how do I mount the second partition? sdd5?
[03:08] <elliot__> or, boot from the first or second
[03:08] <RustyJames> elliot__, these are windows partions
[03:08] <slonnik> Calix I really engoyed Ubuntu but still need syncronisation
[03:08] <theplatypus> Problem with upgrading to Dapper. Stalled for 15 minutes or so at " Checking and creating device nodes ... * Starting Bluetooth services... hcid sdpd"  Any thoughts?
[03:08] <elliot__> ok, how do I boot from them
[03:08] <RustyJames> elliot__,you have to configure grub
[03:08] <elliot__> how? (thanks for the help by the way!)
[03:09] <penguin42> theplatypus: Have you got many peripherals plugged in - I'm wondering if there is one that is confusing it?
[03:09] <theplatypus> penguin42 : A usb flash drive is plugged in
[03:10] <penguin42> theplatypus: Hmm, that shouldn't be a problem - nothing else?
[03:10] <narfmaster> elliot__, if you have a Windows rescue disk, that would be handy
[03:10] <RustyJames> elliot__, you have to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:10] <theplatypus> penguin42 : just the usual keyboard and mouse(non USB)
[03:10] <furax_> penguin42 : yes the rest of the screen is black, is during the last stage installation but i don't exactly know the percentage. there's no problem during the install of base
[03:10] <elliot__> nope, sorry, I don't even have an installation disk for windows, it an HP machine, just the sdd1 for recovery
[03:10] <RustyJames> elliot__, normally ubuntu writes an entry for windows into it
[03:11] <elliot__> it hasn't this time
[03:11] <furax_> penguin42: I have the 3 same PC so I will try to another know ... perhaps a memory problem
[03:11] <Klaidas> Hello. Is there a way to look how much bandwidth has been used on a specific port since reboot? Example, how would I see how much traffic has been used on port 6667 since I booted my system this morning. Maybe using iptables or something like that? :)
[03:11] <penguin42> furax_: Yeh it's a bit odd
[03:12] <penguin42> Klaidas: I can kind of see how you could do with it iptables ish - you can create a rule that matched that port and accepted - it then has stats showing you how many packets (not bytes?) matched that rule
[03:12] <theplatypus> penguin42 : I don't actually use bluetooth on this pc
[03:12] <penguin42> theplatypus: Can you turn the bluetooth port off on the PC?
[03:12] <RustyJames> elliot__, ok you should add an entry to /boot/grub/menu lst: \n root            (hd3,4)
[03:12] <theplatypus> penguin42 : I'm not sure
[03:12] <Klaidas> Well, is there something for bytes? :/
[03:12] <RShadow> I need some help.. I removed my /etc/postfix directory (so I could start from scratch) but now postfix won't install because apparently it wan'ts postfix-script in that directory (why it isn't including with the postfix package is beyond me).. but what do I do now?
[03:13] <RustyJames> elliot__, if your windows is on sdd5
[03:13] <monomaniacpat> I want to access game cd's with Wine, but the files are invisible? Is there a particular file from appdb I could use to sort this out?
[03:14] <m_tadeu> which program do you recomend for configuring iptables?
[03:14] <hawkaloogie> m_tadeu, i've been using Firestarter
[03:14] <gnomefreak> m_tadeu: firestarter
[03:15] <RShadow> (sorry wasn't authed before) ... need some help with reinstalling postfix if I removed /etc/postfix .. how can I?? am I looking at reinstall of the OS?
[03:15] <m_tadeu> thx guys ;)
[03:15] <theplatypus> wtf? Now my root password doesn't work
[03:16] <RustyJames> elliot__, here is a description of recovering grub but it is in german: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Grub?action=show&redirect=Bootloader
[03:16] <snoops>  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[03:17] <snoops> ^ not in german
[03:17] <RShadow> any ideas?
[03:18] <theplatypus> I get the feeling that this upgrade has completely hosed my system
[03:18] <pequatre> hi. i'm on a lan and i'd like that at the end of a script of mine on pc1, pc1 automatically sends a message to pc2 telling him to "Beep". I've installed the Beep package on both computers. Any idea or pointers ? thx.
[03:18] <hawkaloogie> theplatypus, does sudo still work? sudo passwd
[03:18] <RustyJames> elliot__, or here is something in english: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_restore_GRUB_menu_after_Windows_installation
[03:20] <theplatypus> hawkaloogie :yes, it still works
[03:20] <m_tadeu> my synCE is telling me i have firewall rules that my prevent it from working correcly...can anyone help me with this?
[03:21] <davro_> anyone having problems with x freezing, keeps doing it to me about 3-5 times a day.
[03:22] <narfmaster> reinstalling packages can be a real pain when they don't want to uninstall
[03:22] <theplatypus> should I kill this upgrade and try again?
[03:22] <narfmaster> davro_, while doing what?
[03:23] <RustyJames> davro_, only X or your whole system?
[03:23] <davro_> while im work, while it standing idle, tryed running different kernels, window managers, disabling screen saver you name it
[03:23] <Dapperguy> hey, was wondering how to, or if there is a specifi package for doing a baseline test for a web app
[03:23] <furax_> penguin42: ok i start the installation on an other PC but exactly the same ... (i hope it works, it's for blender workshop in the  libre software meeting in 2 days)
[03:23] <RShadow> I guess I'm looking at a complete reinstall of the os?
[03:23] <RustyJames> cause i got the same problem
[03:23] <davro_> Locks X but i can't event Ctrl+Alt+Backspace out, whole system locks.
[03:24] <bbrazil> Dapperguy: there's an apache benchmark thingy, I forget the package name
[03:24] <penguin42> furax_: Well good look on the other pc - be careful you are probably going to have to have a fight with 3D drivers if you are doing blender
[03:24] <davro_> I just cannot pinpoint the problem to any area of the system, and it really issing me off.
[03:24] <RustyJames> davro_, what system is it u are using? im using a toshiba laptop and it also freezes from time to time everthing else just works fine
[03:25] <bbrazil> Dapperguy: ah, 'ab' in apache2-utils
[03:25] <wastrel> RShadow:  have you tried apt-get install --reinstall postfix
[03:25] <RShadow> wastrel: yes.. doesn't work either
[03:25] <furax_> penguin42: no pb with drivers at the moment the problem is install !!! ;)
[03:25] <penguin42> furax_: Nod
[03:25] <Dapperguy> bbrazil, k , how do i run that from the command line?
[03:25] <davro_> running a sony vaio pcg-z1rmp with dapper drake, belive its an ati gfx card
[03:25] <wastrel> RShadow:  have you used the -f (force)  flag?
[03:25] <bbrazil> Dapperguy: you'll have to check the manpage, I don't know offhand
[03:25] <RShadow> wastrel I'll give it a shot
[03:26] <Dapperguy> bbrazil, k thanks
[03:26] <wastrel> RShadow:  sry that may be --force=yes
[03:26] <kinema> 1280*1024 is killing me... what is the best way to edit xorg's conf to up my max resolution to the 1600*1200 that i'm used to?
[03:26] <wastrel> RShadow:  no its  -f
[03:27] <Dapperguy> bbrazil, since it is bugzilla using mysql and apache, does this test all three?
[03:27] <penguin42> kinema: Look for some   Modes "1280x1024" and change them to "1600x1200" - but that will only work if everything else believes it can go upto 1600x1200
[03:27] <RShadow> wastrel: nope.. doesn't work
[03:28] <RustyJames> davro_,  you know what ati gfx? cause i think there could be the problem. ive got a radeon x200 on my system
[03:28] <penguin42> kinema: Worth seeing if System->Preferences->Screen Resolution believes in it?
[03:28] <theplatypus> What is the worst that could happen if I restart the upgrade process?
[03:28] <wastrel> RShadow:  try downloading the package with  -d and installing it with dpkg -i
[03:28] <davro_> RustyJames: So there is no real fix for this freezing bug, will have a look at the gfx card one sec.
[03:28] <boga> How do I solve this problem...Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings."?
[03:28] <RShadow> wastrel: I'll give it a shot
[03:29] <davro_> RustyJames: lspci said VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY
[03:29] <RustyJames> davro_, well i didnt find any soution till now.
[03:29] <elliot___> I am having trouble booting to my fat32 (recovery) and ntfs (winxp) partitions? Any ideas? Grub won't list them, they are located as sdd1 and sdd5
[03:30] <bryanl> anyone here running apache 2.2?
[03:30] <RShadow> wastrel: were is the apt-get cache located at?
[03:30] <wastrel> RShadow:  /var/cache/apt/archives/
[03:30] <elliot___> bryanl, I tryed to, it ruined my apt-get setup
[03:30] <RustyJames> davro_, well its a diffren gfx card but also the mobility
[03:30] <elliot___> it cycles through it each time trying to set it up
[03:31] <bryanl> elliot___: i have it in /usr/local/apache2 now... but i would prefer it as a deb..
[03:31] <RShadow> wastrel: nope.. same issue.. starts to install but says that /etc/postfix/postfix-script is missing
[03:31] <davro_> RustyJames: i have read on the ubuntuforums of people having freezing problems that are running nvida chipsets so ?
[03:31] <Ignite_> agh, i'm using Photoshop in crossover office, trouble is, i need to press alt and click at the same time for some tools but gnome (metacity?) takes over and makes me move the window, how do i disable it please?
[03:32] <penguin42> Ignite_: Try system->preferences->key shortcuts ?
[03:32] <RustyJames> elliot___, have you tried to add the grub entry mannually? your sdd5 should be hd(3,4) for grub
[03:32] <Ignite_> penguin42, thanks :)
[03:32] <wastrel> RShadow:  you've got a broken package but there's ways to fix it with apt, i just don't know them
[03:32] <penguin42> Ignite_: Not sure it will help, worth a go
[03:32] <RustyJames> davro_, so its another problem
[03:32] <penguin42> Ignite_: How well does crossover work for photoshop?
[03:33] <RustyJames> davro_, i also have the feeling that it freezes faster if im running firefox
[03:33] <RShadow> wastrel: hmmm.. ok.. I'll see what I can figure out... however I'm really really really staring to miss my emerge command :(
[03:33] <davro_> RustyJames: Think so but im not sure, i have just finished downloading the debian iso, so i think im going back to debian, this is silly as there seems to be no rush to sort/find/fix the problem/bug whatever.
[03:33] <Ignite_> penguin42, the latest release has a bug with TWAIN drivers or something, i'm using 5.0 but 5.0.1 and up have the bug, it works perfectly for PS 7 but anything later is no go i'm afraid
[03:34] <penguin42> Ignite_: Nod - it is always a little hit and miss
[03:34] <Ignite_> yeah, shame really
[03:34] <fwtest> in which package can i find dnet.h ? i have installed libdnet and libdnet-dev, still it cant find dnet.h in my system
[03:34] <truzak> will there be a libfreetype6 2.2.1 for dapper?
[03:35] <RShadow> wastrel: just got a tip in #ubuntu-server .. for future ref.. apt-get remove postfix --purge was what I need :)
[03:35] <wastrel> purge eh
[03:35] <wastrel> ok
[03:35] <RustyJames> davro_, yes im also pissed off because everything else worked really fine but if the system falways reezes you cant really use it
[03:35] <Ignite_> penguin42, can't seem to find the alt+click one in there, going to have a play with gconf
[03:36] <No1Viking> How do I secure my computer from rootkits?
[03:36] <theplatypus> how do I stop this update manager?
[03:36] <narfmaster> penguin42, go to Preferences > Windows
[03:36] <theplatypus> can't find it with Top
[03:36] <penguin42> narfmaster: Ah good point
[03:36] <davro_> RustyJames: Real shame i liked ubuntu, but i cannot work in hope that it not going to freeze every hour or two.
[03:37] <Ignite_> No1Viking, chkrootkit
[03:37] <jbroome> No1Viking: don't put it on the 'net
[03:37] <fwtest> there is no dnet.h?
[03:37] <RustyJames> has somone else those freezing problems?
[03:37] <davro_> Might even go as far as to get my old 98 box out, proberly get more uptime with it =)
[03:37] <penguin42> davro_: Does it only hang under some circumstances? e.g. while running a screen saver is a classic
[03:37] <RustyJames> davro_, yes the same for me
[03:38] <penguin42> davro_/RJ: So 1) Do you guys share any common hardware  2) Is it entirely random?  3) After reboot is there anything in the logs?
[03:38] <davro_> penguin42: i have disabled the screen saver, remove about as many services as i can, just cannot pin point the problem, along with many other people, DEV's where are you.
[03:39] <wizardjames> whats a guide on how to do apache and such..
[03:39] <RustyJames> penguin42,  1) we both have a ati mobility gfx card, but systems with nvidia also report problems
[03:39] <wastrel> i have ati mobility
[03:39] <No1Viking> jbroome, is it your way to do it?
[03:39] <Ignite_> hrm, i've changed it from alt+click to move a window to super+click, but now Photoshop doesn't seem to recieve the click, any ideas?
[03:40] <penguin42> davro_/RustyJames: Are you running the ATI closed drivers or running with a dumb frame buffer?
[03:40] <davro_> penguin42: checked log files, found nothing! tryed kernels from 15-25 to 15-20
[03:40] <RustyJames> penguin42, 2) it seems randomly im trying to pin point it down but that could take a long time
[03:40] <No1Viking> Ignite_, thanks. Worked well
[03:40] <finalbeta> How can I make a program like azureus shut down cleanly when I shut down the PC? Every time I boot azureus says it wassn't shut down properly.
[03:40] <Ignite_> No1Viking, no worries :)
[03:40] <bill[1] > Assigning a hotkey to homedirectory doesn't work.  (assign correctly, no action on keypress), any ideas?
[03:41] <davro_> penguin42: Im running the ATI Mobilitity M6 chipset but i know people that are running nvida chipsets that are having problems
[03:41] <wastrel> what problems with ati mobility?
[03:41] <penguin42> davro_: Nod, I'm just saying its worth trying with the dumb vesa framebuffer and get rid of the binary drivers - just to see if that is the problem
[03:42] <RustyJames> penguin42, at first i used the fglry driver but there was another bug that my mouse freezes after some time now i use the radeon
[03:43] <RustyJames> penguin42, fglrx i mean
[03:43] <penguin42> nod
[03:44] <davro_> penguin42: Kinda seems pointless if other people are having the same problem, running without radeon drivers, kinda rules out the radeon drivers in a fashion.
[03:44] <narfmaster> i've only seen a crash when there was memory leaking quickly
[03:44] <milla> hello
[03:44] <penguin42> davro_: You can't be sure if two random crashes are actually the same problem
[03:45] <milla> how do i make sudo to mount automatically my NTFS drives?
[03:45] <mormoloc> how do you install the new version of openoffice (2.0.3), is there a .deb pakage yet?
[03:45] <milla> how do i make sudo to mount automatically my NTFS drives everytime I boot ubuntu
[03:46] <RustyJames> penguin42, davro_ , what i noticed it was always on a laptop, the freezing problem
[03:46] <furax_> penguin42: exactly the same thing with the other PC at about 70%
[03:46] <PFA> !tell milla about ntfs
[03:46] <wastrel> what's the freezing problem?
[03:46] <penguin42> furax_: *weird* does the machine respond to a ctrl-alt-f1 or the like?
[03:46] <wastrel> i've had several freezes in dapper on my laptop
[03:46] <narfmaster> you ever see a freeze while top was running?
[03:47] <davro_> Nope no responce, have to hard-reboot to get anything.
[03:47] <RustyJames> wastrel, ubuntu freezes randomly, without doing anything specific
[03:47] <penguin42> so all 3 of you seeing it are laptop users? Hmm -  power management type problem?
[03:47] <wastrel> RustyJames:  yes i've had that, usually when i've got some program pegging the cpu with a lot of computations.
[03:47] <davro_> Had a freeze while working many times, and had a freeze while idle.
[03:47] <RustyJames> e.g. while browsing an chatting and listening to music
[03:47] <dipnlik_> my xubuntu freezes sometimes
[03:47] <wastrel> RustyJames:  if i wait for that cpu hog to stop it usually unfreezes
[03:48] <milla> hello, how do i set this up to mount the NTFS drives automatically?
[03:48] <wastrel> it's gnome freezing, the x server still moves the mouse pointer
[03:48] <dipnlik_> but i noticed my problem is opengl or youtube videos
[03:48] <nanaki_yamabushi> hi I have a small problems. Accidently I made my Desktop folder as root. is there a way I can undo that?
[03:48] <penguin42> wastrel: Your problem doesn't sound as severe as the other two guys
[03:48] <furax_> penguin42: it seems to respond but the screen doesn't change (I see it works with the Num Lock ... when I switch to F2, num lock disapear and when switch to F1 it appears ...) CTRL-ALT-SUPR work too
[03:48] <RustyJames> wastrel, no its not that it totally freezes you cant do anything and also while low cpu use
[03:48] <RaoulMillais> can anyone recommend a good ext3 fs driver for windows?  theres a so many to choose from
[03:48] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: as root, chown youruser Desktop
[03:48] <wastrel> ah, no i may have had that once
[03:48] <nanaki_yamabushi> penguin24: how do you mean?
[03:49] <davro_> I have tryed many wm's, gnome, kde, blackbox, fluxbox but still it froze.
[03:49] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: How did you chown it to root ?
[03:49] <wastrel> but usually the mouse moves and i can kill X with ctrl-alt-backspace if i want
[03:49] <milla> how do i make sudo to mount automatically my NTFS drives?
[03:49] <penguin42> furax_: Oh weird - is this the same type of system?
[03:49] <RustyJames> wastrel, and no key combination works(CTRL-ALT-F1 or CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE
[03:49] <nanaki_yamabushi> It got to root when I installed AIM, which needed to be done in root
[03:49] <furax_> penguin42: yes exactly the same !
[03:49] <penguin42> furax_: OK, sounds like something it doesn't like about the machine - tell me about the machine
[03:50] <redmonkey> hi. is there a little tool for gnome that checks if there are new emails waiting on my pop3 account?
[03:50] <Subhuman> redmonkey, yes evolution has a notifier app.
[03:51] <furax_> penguin42: it's a dell celeron
[03:51] <furax_> penguin42: integrated video card, i think intel i8xx
[03:51] <Cyberai> I just upgraded to dapper and now I have no sound. I had sound fine under breezy. Xmms, Ogle, totem, all have no sound. I don't even get the "tinkly" sound when I log in.
[03:51] <davro_> Seems there are enought people getting this problem, theres a poll at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204588
[03:51] <Cyberai> is this a common thing?
[03:51] <furax_> penguin42: it works with the live CD
[03:52] <redmonkey> Subhuman, thank you
[03:52] <earthen> could some one tell me how I can change the refresh rate for my monitor, the gui selector in "System-> Preferances -> screen res" only give me one option of 75
[03:52] <penguin42> furax_: any peripherals?
[03:52] <Subhuman> Cyberai, no, ive had no issues after upgrade
[03:52] <milla> ok
[03:52] <Subhuman> earthen, its defined in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:52] <milla> now, i need some MP3 playback, which i dont have
[03:52] <nanaki_yamabushi> penguin24: can you help in private message please
[03:52] <milla> how do i do that?
[03:52] <earthen> I don't see the option of in the xorg.conf file
[03:52] <wastrel> !mp3 > milla
[03:52] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: No, there may be others here who would learn from any advice or could correct me
[03:53] <Subhuman> milla,
[03:53] <furax_> penguin42: nothing, only an hard disk and a CD-ROM drive
[03:53] <Subhuman> !restricedformats
[03:53] <ubotu> I know nothing about restricedformats
[03:53] <Subhuman> !mp3
[03:53] <earthen> Subhuman, ware and what do i have to change in that file

[03:53] <penguin42> furax_: I take it you've tried another burn of the cd ?
[03:53] <nanaki_yamabushi> ah cna ya help me step by step Penguin24. I am still not used to root and that stuff
[03:53] <redmonkey> Subhuman, is the app that you mean in the evolution-plugins package?
[03:53] <furax_> penguin42: i try another burn, another cdrom drive ... verify the md5 ...
[03:53] <milla> mm
[03:53] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: OK, first open a terminal
[03:53] <amortvigil> help ik heb gister een server geinstalleert maar nu is opeens mijn ip veranderd:S
[03:54] <nanaki_yamabushi> Amor vraag dat eens in #ubuntu-nl
[03:54] <milla> hello, can someone help me out to setup mp3?
[03:54] <furax_> penguin42: i know try to install without language support, i remember hear about a bug with nls
[03:54] <Subhuman> earthen, you shouldnt really edit it manually, run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and then when it comes to asking questions about your monitor, go to "expert" (i think) and put in the vert/horiz rates (theyll be in youre monitors spec list if you can find it_
[03:54] <penguin42> furax_: I wonder whether the install really has crashed or whether it is just X ?
[03:54] <amortvigil> nanaki yes i see:P
[03:54] <Subhuman> redmonkey, it should be built into evolution.
[03:54] <penguin42> furax_: I.e. if you just leave it will it finish?
[03:54] <nanaki_yamabushi> milla: I just used synaptic and installed all revelant MP3 and Mpeg libs
[03:54] <Subhuman> redmonkey, i havent used evolution in a while but i know the app exisitnfs.
[03:55] <furax_> penguin42: the install crash, i use alternate cd beacuse it's extremmly slow with the live CD
[03:55] <milla> ok
[03:55] <earthen> Subhuman, well I've allready setup some of it my self to get duel head working and I had to do it to get the ATI 3d drivers working
[03:55] <penguin42> furax_: Quite a few people seem to have seen that; how much RAM has this machine got?
[03:55] <furax_> penguin42: i let it finish during 1 hour but it doesn't boot
[03:55] <Subhuman> earthen, well i nthat case
[03:55] <jsimmons> drake hates me
[03:56] <furax_> penguin42: 256 Mo
[03:56] <penguin42> that ain't too bad
[03:56] <milla> got another issue, i have on my desktop two folders that i want to delete, the thing here is that it doesnt allow me to, is there any command to delete folders from the terminal
[03:56] <amortvigil> i installed a server yesterday but i think its dinamic so it changed today :S how can i change it back?
[03:56] <nanaki_yamabushi> Penguin24: how do I get to do it to get my desktop back as my user
[03:56] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: OK, open a terminal
[03:56] <nanaki_yamabushi> penguin24: is open
[03:56] <Subhuman> earthen, in the section  "montior" , there is a horizsync and a vertrefresh values.find those values for your montior and enter them in, then you should be able to select the refresh rates your monitor supports.
[03:57] <cast> amortvigil: what does dinamic mean?
[03:57] <earthen> Subhuman, with LCD monitors it should be set to 60 I think
[03:57] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: now do an    ls -l Desktop        and show me the line it gives, and tell me your username on your system
[03:57] <furax_> penguin42: do you think i can try server or oem install ?
[03:57] <jsimmons> what does "completely removed ntfsprogs" mean?
[03:57] <Tom06> hi everyone
[03:57] <penguin42> furax_: I'd say the server is worth it
[03:57] <Tom06> i need some help
[03:57] <penguin42> furax_: I'd give it a 50% chance it is X related
[03:57] <Subhuman> jsimmons, it removes all dependencies too.
[03:57] <milla> ??
[03:57] <cast> Tom06: just ask, rather than adding lines of noise to the room
[03:57] <amortvigil> cast: that everytime i restart my router my ip changes
[03:57] <milla> what's the command to delete from the terminal
[03:57] <penguin42> milla: rm
[03:57] <jsimmons> subhuman what dependencies?
[03:57] <furax_> penguin42: but it's stange it's happen during the install and the install is in text mode
[03:57] <nanaki_yamabushi> penguin24: i get several lines. which one exactly?
[03:58] <mc__> milla, you should google for a basic intodruction to unix
[03:58] <penguin42> furax_: Maybe it is trying to configure the x server package when it installs it
[03:58] <Subhuman> jsimmons, any that ntfsprogs required that other aps do nto need.
[03:58] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: Sorry, do    ls -ld Desktop
[03:58] <Tom06> i have a freshly istalled ubuntu , it boots up fine and after login in i get a garbled box and the PC freezes
[03:58] <cast> amortvigil: oh. dynamic. so your ip changed, and you want to change it back? heh
[03:58] <Tom06> i tried reconfiguring x but it didnt work
[03:58] <jsimmons> subhuman okay
[03:59] <nanaki_yamabushi> Penguin24: this is the line "drwxr-xr-x 5 root nanaki 4096 2006-07-02 15:12 Desktop" and my user name is nanaki
[03:59] <milla> how do I delete directories from terminal, rm is for files only.
[03:59] <jsimmons> 64bit drake is stuck at 97% in the installation process
[03:59] <nanaki_yamabushi> milla: use rm -rf <dir>
[03:59] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: OK, in the terminal type   sudo chown -R nanaki  Desktop
[03:59] <jsimmons> hd light is on steady
[03:59] <furax_> penguin42: ok perhaps, i know there was a problem 2 or 3 year ago with those PC (We have to use 845patch) but know it's in xorg standart release
[03:59] <nanaki_yamabushi> penguin24: Done, now what?
[03:59] <penguin42> furax_: It's not unusual for bugs to return
[03:59] <Tom06> i have a freshly istalled ubuntu , it boots up fine and after login in i get a garbled box and the PC freezes
[03:59] <jsimmons> i can't seem to get this freakin thing installed
[04:00] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: You should find that Desktop is now owned by you
[04:00] <milla> thanks
[04:00] <davro_> Tom06: welcome to ubuntu, my X or System freezes about once every hour or two.
[04:00] <jsimmons> mouse is frozen too
[04:00] <nanaki_yamabushi> penguin24: looks like it
[04:00] <milla> how do i install mp3 playback?
[04:00] <[nycff-1] pete> hi i've been getting a wiping effect on my monitor, what are the settings that could be causing this? i already editting the xorg.conf and took out resolutions that my monitor did not support.
[04:00] <Subhuman> Tom06, have you done a "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ??
[04:00] <milla> ive already read those pages of formats...
[04:00] <Tom06> yes
[04:01] <Tom06> to no avail
[04:01] <elliot__> pete, descrime the effect
[04:01] <Subhuman> [nycff-1] pete, that sounds like a refresh rate issue
[04:01] <nanaki_yamabushi> penguin24: yep got it back. many thanks
[04:01] <Subhuman> change it until it stops, some monitors are real picky about it (my friend has the exact same issue)
[04:01] <furax_> penguin42: i will stay in front of the PC to see wich package cause problem
[04:01] <jsimmons> anyone else here rubnning a asrock motherboard?
[04:01] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: I'm curious, how did you break it in the first place?
[04:01] <davro_> Has system freezes every hour been as some sort or usablity feature, saving rsi etc.
[04:01] <wheels351972> How do I restore GRUB on my MBR I re-installed an OS after Ubuntu was installed
[04:01] <penguin42> furax_: Might be worth seeing if a /var/log/installer was left on the machine after crash and see what was left in it
[04:02] <[nycff-1] pete> subhuman, i agree but i cannot change the refresh rate in basic settings and don't know where to edit xorg.conf to change the refresh rate. my monitor supports 60 and 75, but the refresh rate is set at 76 for some reason
[04:02] <nanaki_yamabushi> other question. is anyone using yahoo or Aim for linux?
[04:02] <Subhuman> davro_, you sure ure install/upgrade went okay? dapper has been more stable than any linux distro for me
[04:02] <jsimmons> i've been trying to install ubuntu for 2 freakin' days
[04:02] <penguin42> wheels351972: Typically grub-install /dev/hda   but you want to make sure you add your other OSs to it
[04:02] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: Yes, use the 'gaim' package
[04:02] <Dapperguy> is there an open source equivalent to citrix, for linux ?
[04:02] <furax_> penguin42: ok thancks
[04:03] <dsas> !grub
[04:03] <Subhuman> [nycff-1] pete, thats probably your problem, run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and youll get to a bit about your monitor, you can define the correct resolutions and refresh rates there.
[04:03] <nanaki_yamabushi> penguin42: is what i am using right now. but I mean original yahoo or aim, because gaim is working on my nerves with file transfers
[04:03] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:03] <davro_> Subhuman: Who know mate upgraded a while back only within the last couple of weeks has it been playing up.
[04:03] <[nycff-1] pete> subhuman, alright gimme a second
[04:03] <tbenita> Hi what source do I need in order to find slapd-dev ?
[04:03] <Dapperguy> as in, Presentation/Metaframe server
[04:03] <lz1gjd> after installing apache package what should I do to make the server work, i copy the contents to the /srv dir. but it does not work
[04:04] <Tom06> anything i could try?
[04:04] <milla> can someone teach me something interesting to do with linux?
[04:04] <jsimmons> why does the live cd boot fine, but install fails?
[04:04] <Paladine> lz1gjd, readng the documentation on apache's website is the best start you can get
[04:04] <penguin42> Dapperguy: Do you particularly need it to be compatible with citrix terminals or do you just want to do the same type of thing?
[04:04] <Tom06> im using the alternative cd btw
[04:04] <lz1gjd> oh, thx Paladine ;)
[04:04] <Dapperguy> Penguin, same type of thing
[04:04] <Tom06> login sceen comes up fine
[04:04] <nanaki_yamabushi> milla: you can use it as you do with windows.
[04:04] <wheels351972> I have tried that but getting no where how doI know where my installs are
[04:04] <Tom06> but after loging in i get a garbled box
[04:04] <davro_> Not to worry debian disk just finished burning.
[04:05] <Tom06> and the system becomes unresponsive
[04:05] <CrazyDoode> milla: http://www.cyberdiem.com/vin/learn.html
[04:05] <Dapperguy> Penguin, but if the citrix web client was compatible, that would be cool
[04:05] <penguin42> Dapperguy: Oh, that's a lot easier - the login program you see when you login to ubuntu is 'gdm' you can configure that to allow remote connections, and then use an 'x terminal' (not to be confused with xterm) to open a remote session
[04:05] <lz1gjd> just thought it would work "out of the box" so to say ;) i guess will have to do some tweaking here and there
[04:05] <Fatal`> well, memtest86 passed flawlessly
[04:05] <Fatal`> looks like hardware problems
[04:05] <RustyJames> davro_, so you are switching to debian?
[04:05] <Fatal`> thought, how they could be intermittent, i dont know
[04:05] <Dapperguy> Penguin, and run seamless apps ?
[04:06] <[nycff-1] pete> subhuman, i ran that command and tried autodetect and it couldn't detect my onboard video
[04:06] <penguin42> Dapperguy: Should do - only ones you normally have problems with are 3D graphics and video that really need a local display for speed
[04:06] <Tom06> is it only me who experiences this garble thing?
[04:06] <davro_> RustyJames: Yup after running ubuntu for about year and a half, i really need to have a stable laptop for next week.
[04:06] <milla> what is the c++ compiler for this?
[04:06] <penguin42> milla: g++
[04:06] <Fatal`> would hardware problems cause instability in ubuntu?
[04:06] <CrazyDoode> g++ google for more material
[04:07] <penguin42> Fatal`: Yes of course
[04:07] <davro_> Fatal: Nope been there.
[04:07] <RustyJames> davro_, i understand that. tell me if the problem remains ;-)
[04:07] <Subhuman> milla, youll need the package "build-essentials" to compile c++
[04:07] <Tom06> could someone help please?
[04:07] <R3linquish3r> Fatal`, What kind of hardware problems?
[04:07] <lz1gjd> i am new to ubuntu, just switched from SuSe, and apps seem to start slower , is it just me, or this is a normal behaviour of a debian based distro ?
[04:07] <wheels351972> How do I find out where GRUB sees my partitions?
[04:07] <davro_> RustyJames: Will do mate :)
[04:08] <nanaki_yamabushi> Well I have to log now CU all
[04:08] <Fatal`> i can only assume that is what is causing my random lock up that forces me to restart
[04:08] <Fatal`> because memtest86 revealed nothing
[04:08] <R3linquish3r> wheels351972, gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:08] <wheels351972> that goes in the menu list ok
[04:08] <Tom06> cant anyone help?
[04:08] <R3linquish3r> Tom06: I can try :)
[04:09] <R3linquish3r> Tom06, Whats wrong?
[04:09] <Tom06> i have a freshly istalled ubuntu , it boots up fine and after login in i get a garbled box and the PC freezes
[04:09] <jsimmons> what do i need to type at the grub prompt to get ubuntu to boot up?
[04:10] <R3linquish3r> Tom06: What kind of garbled box?
[04:10] <boga> how do I add a printer in Dapper?
[04:10] <jsimmons> and why isn't it doing it for me?
[04:10] <moshe> hello
[04:10] <penguin42> jsimmons: Probably because ti can't find the /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:10] <moshe> does Ubuntu's build of Thunderbird store settings in .thunderbird or .mozilla-thunderbird?
[04:10] <Tom06> it think it would be the gnome autoconfig box
[04:10] <moshe> I'm doing some housecleaning and I have folders by both names
[04:10] <jrib> boga: system > administration > printing
[04:11] <penguin42> moshe: try ls -lt to see which one changed most recently
[04:11] <R3linquish3r> Tom06: Sorry I've really never dealt with that b4. No clue.
[04:11] <boga> jrib: I do not have that menu!
[04:11] <Tom06> sigh
[04:11] <lz1gjd> Tom06: i have experienced similar problems before , my vid card is pciexp ati x800gto, i had to change xorg.conf file, had to use another driver, the one that came with the install didnt work correctly
[04:11] <jrib> boga: are you using GNOME?
[04:11] <Tom06> what did you use ?
[04:11] <scotte> can u get a version of ubuntu that comes with all the packages?
[04:11] <wastrel> Tom06:  can you do ctrl-alt-backspace to restart the x server?
[04:11] <moshe> Penguin, good call.  checking the date stamps didn't occur to me.
[04:11] <boga> jrib: yes
[04:12] <Tom06> nope
[04:12] <Tom06> system lockup
[04:12] <boga> I am using dapper.
[04:12] <moshe> somehow, I've had the .thunderbird dir on my drive for over a year and it's not been touched
[04:12] <lz1gjd> I installed the one from ati's site fglrx
[04:12] <Tom06> which alternative driver to use?
[04:12] <boga> jrib: may be I need to edit the menu...but I do not see the menu editor either!
[04:13] <Tom06> i am using the nv di
[04:13] <Tom06> i am using the nv driver
[04:13] <ceramik> hi
[04:13] <jrib> boga: is gnome-cups-manager installed?
[04:14] <lz1gjd> well, go to nvidia's site download their proprietary binary driver, and try searching google for how to install them
[04:14] <R3linquish3r> Tom06: What kind of graphics card do you have?
[04:14] <ceramik> i have a newb question: how to have sounds from flash in firefox?
[04:14] <Tom06> nvidia
[04:14] <jrib> !flash > ceramik
[04:14] <fwtest> following situation, at server, there is a program, which is listening on port 1500, the server allows only local connection to this port, but allowing ssh connection from outside, my question, how can i access to this programm (port 1500) from outside using ssh? there must be something to do with tunneling, but i dont know how
[04:14] <R3linquish3r> Tom06: Shouldn;t have any problems with that driver....
[04:15] <ceramik> ok i'm gonna rtfm
[04:15] <boga> jrib: yes...in fact I have something on localhost:631...but adding a printer fails on the root password
[04:15] <elliot__> creamik, newb answer: you don't flash 7 for linux with firefox doesn't work very well for much more than basic animations
[04:15] <Tom06> well , there are...
[04:15] <jrib> boga: it should be your user password, but use gnome-cups-manager not the web interface
[04:16] <R3linquish3r> Tom06: I realised lol. I'm sorry but I really don't have a clue. Not exactly a guru :P
[04:16] <boga> ok I will install the manager thanx
[04:16] <decaf> someone please send me a dapper grub config file example
[04:16] <milla> is there a way to install k,desktop for ubuntu?
[04:16] <Tom06> thanks anyway , also it wont work at all with framebuffers...
[04:16] <decaf> I installed in a very unusual way. everything worked except grub
[04:16] <jrib> Mika_i: you mean kde?
[04:16] <milla> yeah
[04:16] <milla> kde
[04:16] <Tom06> i mean X wont work
[04:16] <lz1gjd> could you try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ?
[04:16] <Mika_i> jrib: ?
[04:17] <[nycff-1] pete> subhuman, i fixed the refresh rate using the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command, but i'm still getting a wiping effect on my monitor. the resolution, color depth, and refresh rate are all at the optimal setting supported by my monitor
[04:17] <jrib> milla: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[04:17] <jrib> Mika_i: sorry, completion error
[04:17] <Mika_i> ok
[04:17] <Mika_i> nope
[04:17] <Subhuman> [nycff-1] pete, do you have windows installed? do you get the problem in windows? (i.e could it be a hardware issue)
[04:17] <milla> it's downloading now
[04:18] <milla> thanx
[04:18] <[nycff-1] pete> no, i just build this shuttle, i used the monitor before on my gaming computer with no problems
[04:19] <Fatal`> that's what is bullshit.  windows doesn't have any trouble at all for me
[04:19] <Fatal`> but ubuntu is unstable as fuck
[04:19] <Fatal`> :/
[04:19] <ZhangZhong> Could any one tell me how i can find the source file of kernel (especially those modified for ubuntu)?
[04:19] <[nycff-1] pete> then go back to windows fatal` :-/
[04:19] <Fatal`> i am in windows right now :/
[04:19] <decaf> ZhangZhong: install linux-sources-xxxxxx
[04:20] <gnomefreak> Fatal`: you are muted for your language
[04:20] <decaf> ZhangZhong: you'll find a bz2 file in /usr/src
[04:20] <[nycff-1] pete> subhuman, is it possible that my onboard video card is not powerful enough to run @ 1280x1024 with 75 hz refresh rate?
[04:21] <lz1gjd> could any1 answer why applications seem to start slower on ubuntu, compared to suse ?
[04:21] <milla> pete: its because of the monitor, it doesnt support that resolution and refresh rate
[04:21] <gnomefreak> Fatal`: you can talk now
[04:21] <Fatal`> i know ;)
[04:21] <Fatal`> ty
[04:22] <[nycff-1] pete> milla, yes it does :)
[04:22] <Tommy2k4> my ubuntu used to randomly crash when i had it on 24bit :|
[04:22] <Tommy2k4> after id been booted up for ages, not while loading X or anything
[04:22] <Fatal`> what does ubuntu run in stock form?
[04:22] <Fatal`> maybe thats my problem O_o
[04:22] <kizzy> hi room
[04:23] <decaf> [nycff-1] pete: most of video cards can work at 1280x1024, Hz is monitors problem
[04:23] <[nycff-1] pete> decaf: i'm changing to 60 hz right now, and if this doesn't work i'll be stumped
[04:24] <Fatal`> from randomly browsing the forums, it appears my problem is ATI vs ubuntu
[04:24] <gullstad_> How many users does Ubuntu got?
[04:24] <Fatal`> not the best fight
[04:24] <bony> i want to download ubuntu-6.06-desktop-i386.iso dvd
[04:24] <shigutso> I removed a HD from my PC, and now my Ubuntu 6.06 don't recognize my CD-Rom Drive anymore... and when I try to see the disks-manager in Gnome, it says that and error ocurred with the script... what am I supposed to do? Re-configure the /etc/fstab? How?
[04:24] <bony> were can i get the link
[04:24] <Fatal`> it's on the website...did you even look?
[04:24] <Fatal`> heh
[04:24] <milla> ...
[04:25] <Schalken> help! ubuntu keeps crashing! i think it's because i installed a package from the edgy repo and all it's dependencies! how can i fix it???
[04:25] <bony> Fatal`, i did look at it but cant find dvd
[04:25] <gullstad_> !users
[04:25] <ubotu> I know nothing about users
[04:25] <jbroome> Schalken: Oooh, ouch
[04:25] <gullstad_> How many users does Ubuntu got?
[04:25] <steveire> millions
[04:25] <jsimmons> man, drake is FUBAR...
[04:25] <R3linquish3r> gullstad_: a butt load
[04:25] <steveire> Can I get a text editor to autoindent my code?
[04:25] <Schalken> jbroome: any ideas??? :(
[04:26] <jbroome> Schalken: did you see this from #ubuntu+1: Edgy is still not stable to use, and
[04:26] <jbroome>           is likely to break your system
[04:26] <jbroome> Schalken: i don't have any.  sorry
[04:26] <bony> ooops sorry i found the dvds
[04:26] <jsimmons> install 32-bit, and it doesn't get beyond "Installing hardware drivers" at reboot, install 64-bit and it appears grub isn't fully configured
[04:28] <visik7> my mother complain about the lack of a translator from italian to english in his ubuntu how can I solve without I'm forced to give her windows ?
[04:28] <Schalken> jbroome: it was just the latest rhythmbox, the latest was only in edgy so i installed it and its dependencies. but now anything that tries to use samba or a printer crashes!
[04:28] <mesut> is there a channel for ubuntu on ppc ?
[04:28] <shigutso> I removed a HD from my PC, and now my Ubuntu 6.06 don't recognize my CD-Rom Drive anymore... and when I try to see the disks-manager in Gnome, it says that and error ocurred with the script... what am I supposed to do? Re-configure the /etc/fstab? How??
[04:29] <monomaniacpat> Has anyone here ever compiled wine from a tarball - make takes ages!
[04:29] <Frogzoo> visik7: wine/qemu/vmware...
[04:29] <pdc303> shigutso: does the BIOS detect your CD-ROM drive ok?
[04:29] <Schalken> is there any way to make APT ensure that all the installed packages are in the repositories, if if not remove or downgrade to what is???
[04:29] <monomaniacpat> shigutso: do what pdc303 says from boot
[04:30] <shigutso> pdc303, ... yes!
[04:30] <Subhuman> [nycff-1] pete, is this wiping when you move a window or something or is it constant?
[04:30] <shigutso> monomaniacpat, but it detects...
[04:30] <visik7> Frogzoo: 'come on there isn't  a translator ?
[04:30] <Subhuman> [nycff-1] pete, and are you using the right drivers?
[04:30] <monomaniacpat> shigutso: surely, it's just a case of remounting the drive?
[04:30] <pdc303> no... why would it not auto-mount now?
[04:30] <[nycff-1] pete> subhuman, it's when i move or open/close a window, i believe i am using the right drivers, how would i check? and i'm ushing 60 hz now too
[04:31] <Frogzoo> visik7: wordtrans-qt
[04:31] <shigutso> monomaniacpat, maybe... but how do I remount it? I can see here in my /etc/fstab that the old HD that I removed is still there...
[04:31] <BCK14> grr firestarter is very crap
[04:31] <milla> how do i mount floppy disk
[04:31] <shigutso> monomaniacpat, how can I know what to fix on it?
[04:31] <monomaniacpat> !cdrom
[04:31] <ubotu> I know nothing about cdrom
[04:31] <Subhuman> [nycff-1] pete, ahh right! i thought you meant constantly, your display rate is not an issue, its the drivers, what onboard video is it?
[04:31] <mwe> firestarter rocks
[04:31] <monomaniacpat> !mount
[04:31] <ubotu> Disks store lots of data. Partitioning: try gparted or qtparted  - Formatting: see the manpage for mkfs  - Mounting: system -> administration -> disks
[04:31] <pdc303> shigutso: my first thought is that the mater/slave settings for the drive were messed-up since your removed your HDD
[04:31] <pete6> i have sis mirage onboard video
[04:31] <pdc303> shigutso: but you seem sure this is not the case
[04:31] <mwe> actually it's just an iptables front end
[04:31] <monomaniacpat> hmmm, I dont actually know, but there must be something on the wiki
[04:31] <monomaniacpat> !wiki
[04:32] <BCK14> mwe: it doesnt seem to twant to allow kopete thru even tho the ports are open
[04:32] <ubotu> wiki is http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Loads of user-contributed documentation
[04:32] <BCK14> yet will let irc thru
[04:32] <Subhuman> pete6, are you using the sis driver?
[04:32] <shigutso> pdc303, no... the CD is Secondary Master, and the old HDD was Primary Slave...
[04:32] <mwe> BCK14: open firestart and look at the log window. the right click the blocked connection and create an exception
[04:32] <pete6> when i ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" i selected the sis driver, so i think so
[04:32] <BCK14> mwe:
[04:32] <pdc303> shigutso: what does `sudo mount /media/cdrom0` give you?
[04:32] <BCK14> ive done that
[04:33] <gnomefreak> !behaviour > Fatal`
[04:33] <Zambezi> "How many user may be logged in at the same time: max_users 15 5" Does it mean 15 users online, five downloading?
[04:33] <shigutso> pdc303, let me see
[04:33] <BCK14> mwe: hence me calling it crap
[04:33] <mwe> BCK14: so it's not showing in the log anymore?
[04:33] <BCK14> nup
[04:33] <Fatal`> i guess you've never been a little angry with instability in your first linux OS ever...lol
[04:33] <mwe> BCK14: then it's not firestarter
[04:33] <yggdrasi1> can somone help me fix my xwindows... it was working fine and now i cant log in. ive treid everything.
[04:33] <BCK14> oki
[04:33] <Schalken> is there a way to reinstall all packages?
[04:33] <Fatal`> now that i've calmed down, i'm almost sure it's the ATI drivers
[04:34] <Subhuman> pete6, it is a driver issue, like 3d acceleration is probably not enabled. I do not have any experience with sis drivers, maybe the forum will help there?
[04:34] <Fatal`> seems to be a widespread ubuntu problem
[04:34] <mwe> BCK14: it logs all blocked trafic
[04:34] <BCK14> mwe: ill try configuring via iptables
[04:34] <Subhuman> Fatal_2, ati is so bad in linux
[04:34] <gnomefreak> Fatal`: i have yes but thats no reason to break rules
[04:34] <Subhuman> they hardly support it, nvidia are alot better in that respect.
[04:34] <shigutso> pdc303, it asks me the type of mounting... and I tried Automatic, but it doesn't go
[04:34] <skavenge> ati and linux dont get along well, along with a handful of other hardware brands
[04:34] <pete6> subhuman, i am registering for the ubuntu support forums now, but where else should i look for help?
[04:34] <mwe> BCK14: if it doesn't show as blocked in the log it's not blocking anything
[04:34] <Fatal`> meh, just venting, my bad :P
[04:34] <pdc303> shigutso: can you paste the exact error message?
[04:35] <Subhuman> pete6, google "sis driver 3d acceleration linux" or something
[04:35] <mwe> BCK14: you need to open the log window _before_ the connection attempt though
[04:35] <BCK14> mwe: maybe its kpete then
[04:35] <Subhuman> shigutso, in pastebin
[04:35] <Subhuman> !paste
[04:35] <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)
[04:35] <milla> how do i know which ports i have open
[04:35] <shigutso> pdc303, there is no error. I just askes the type of mounting...
[04:35] <pdc303> "type of mounting" ??? You mean the filesystem?
[04:35] <mwe> BCK14: try stopping firestarter 'sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter stop' to see if it works then
[04:35] <pete6> subhuman, why would it be 3D acceleration?
[04:36] <BCK14> mwe: it just connected
[04:36] <Schalken> is there a way in synaptic to filter packages from a different distribution???
[04:36] <BCK14> restarted kopete
[04:36] <Fatal`> ahhhh "swearing not appreciated"
[04:36] <BCK14> worked
[04:36] <mwe> BCK14: uhm. ok
[04:36] <BCK14> weird tho
[04:37] <shigutso> pdc303, oosp, sorry.. I was executing the command in the wrong place :P
[04:37] <mwe> BCK14: firestarter is very good imho
[04:37] <telliott> I have a fat32 drive that refuses to mount.  It is shown with a removable drive icon but it's a fixed drive.
[04:37] <pdc303> lol
[04:37] <shigutso> pdc303, how do I use pastebin?
[04:37] <BCK14> mwe:
[04:37] <Mixx`> telliott - what kind of drive?  SATA, PATA.. ?
[04:37] <BCK14> do you know how i can start it at bootup in tray ?
[04:37] <Meta-> I need some help- with kubuntu
[04:37] <pdc303> shigutso: pastebin.com --> New Paste --> Paste your text and click OK. then you will have an URL to provide us
[04:38] <BCK14> mwe: it is dunno what was up with it then, was frustrating me :P
[04:38] <mwe> BCK14: start what?

[04:38] <mwe> BCK14: firestarter or kopete?
[04:38] <BCK14> mwe: start firestarter at bootup in tray ?
[04:38] <pete6> frogzoo, alright trying that
[04:38] <BCK14> or at least in gui ?
[04:39] <pdc303> UltraMagnus: `grub-install` maybe? This will re-install grub
[04:39] <Frogzoo> Meta-: describe your drive configuration
[04:39] <mwe> BCK14: I think if it's there when you log out it should start next time. if not create a simple script in ~/.kde/Autostart that runs it
[04:39] <UltraMagnus> pdc303: how do i do that?

[04:40] <Meta-> Frogzoo:  This is on kubuntu live, I 2want to get fuiles from my hd. I know how to mount an hd in linux, but ubuntu is different
[04:40] <Fatal`> does ubuntu automatically detect ati/nvideo video cards and load the correct driver, or do you need to manually do it

[04:40] <BCK14> mwe: np i can do it :)
[04:40] <mwe> BCK14: session management or something
[04:40] <UltraMagnus> frogzoo: which one should i follow? the "lost grub" one or the other one?
[04:40] <cappicard> anyone else got a radeon 9600? I'm hating ati's binary drivers. when I use fglrx, both monitors go out of sync and go to sleep. My xorg.conf file: http://home.kc.rr.com/cappicard/xorg.conf

[04:41] <Mixx`> telliott what command ar eyou issuing to mount it
[04:41] <pete6> frogzoo and subhuman, i just googled it and on the sis driver site it says that most default drivers that come with linux are sufficient
[04:41] <Frogzoo> Meta-: ubuntu is same as all linux when it comes to mounting - you sure you don't need to mount a partition? ie /dev/hda1 etc?

[04:42] <shigutso> pdc303, it says the dispositive is protected against writing, so it will be mounted for just reading. And then says the filesystem is incorrect, invalid option, invalid 'superblock' in /dev/hdc

[04:51] <pdc303> `md5sum`
[04:52] <MrWoo> yea
[04:52] <Nezza> is it worth reinstalling  the right disk from scratch or should I try that?
[04:52] <MrWoo> wait
[04:52] <pdc303> Nezza: It can do no harm :)
[04:52] <MrWoo> pdc, where do i type that
[04:52] <Nezza> ok, lets give it a whirl!

[04:53] <adam0509> adam0509 2) server / breezy update / xbuntu desktop / dapper

[04:54] <pdc303> SonicChao: Nezza installed server by mistake. How does he get gnome installed?
[04:54] <jbroome> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:54] <Nezza> don't tell anyone, I've got a degree in Comp Sci!
[04:54] <Nezza> right i'll try that
[04:54] <SonicChao> Nezza, LOL
[04:54] <epastor> Hey everyone - anyone know a fix for the problem where you can't shutdown cleanly in Dapper while running the fglrx drivers?
[04:55] <Nezza> the way I read the download page I thought the desktop install that just booted from the cd for you to try ubunto
[04:55] <xiq> how do i start an ssh server on the dapper livecd?
[04:55] <X3n0n> did you get my link of the pastebin?
[04:55] <Nezza> without having to install the whole thing - i've seen this before
[04:55] <SonicChao> xiq, install Ubuntu
[04:55] <Frogzoo> epastor: update to the latest - off the seveas repo
[04:55] <SonicChao> xiq, it is a bad idea to use a LiveCD for most things
[04:55] <pdc303> Nezza: The desktop ISO is a LiveCD with an "Install" option on the desktop
[04:56] <Frogzoo> epastor: suspend/hibernate is still busted unfortunately
[04:56] <SonicChao> Nezza, it probably is best to reinstall the desktop version.
[04:56] <pdc303> Nezza: So it installs while you can still surf the internet in Firefox and stuff :)
[04:56] <wheels351972> Frogzoo:  I am at the Gparted screen I want to completely reformat that partition /dev/hda2 (my linux partition) what do I do at this screen?

[04:56] <pete6> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1205481#post1205481 here is a thread that describes my problem, i'm goin afk for a while, any help is greatly appreciately

[04:56] <Frogzoo> !fglrx > epastor
[04:56] <debian_> im just toying around with beagle and was wondering if someone knew if vfat patitions support the extended attributes (user_xattr) setting in fstab for making the index and search work faster and also if the user_xattr support is included in the newer 2.6 kernels (2.6.15-25-k7 is what im currently running on)
[04:56] <Cyor> I.e. If I was making software - which one to pick?
[04:56] <epastor> Frogzoo: thanks
[04:57] <Nezza> couldn't find package ubuntu-desktop
[04:57] <SonicChao> pete6, wait for a reply on the forums, don't post it here also.
[04:57] <SonicChao> Nezza, install the desktop pkg.
[04:57] <Frogzoo> wheels351972: when you select that partition, there's an option for reformatting it & you select the file system (ext3)
[04:57] <Fatal`> i must be blind, but i can't find the min specs to run ubuntu
[04:57] <Fatal`> anybody wanna clue me in?

[04:57] <xiq> SonicChao: i'm trying to image one drive to another machine over the network, and i want to do it over ssh..

[05:06] <aunes> I wish there was some sort of progress bar for compiling applications :-/
[05:06] <debnub> anyone can give me a hand on network problems? got only partial services running. checked etc/services and it's fine.

[05:06] <X3n0n> frogzoo: thei weird thing is that with live everything works great.....is the live a different version?
[05:06] <epastor> Hm - okay, I was sent to the seveas repo to get the newest fglrx ati drivers - but it doesn't have AMD64 stuff. I've already built the kernel module myself from the ATI binary - what do I do? I'm still having shutdown/restart problems...
[05:07] <Frogzoo> X3n0n: disconnect all the other nics, & then do 'ifconfig' & check you're using eth0 to connect to ics
[05:07] <wheels351972> Frogzoo i think i know what I did I think I might have hit cancel on the format that caused me to get that error cuz it went through just fine and now it's saying it's allocated about 350MB is that normal for Gparted to do?

[05:09] <debnub> UltraMAgnus: You have a few options left before nuke it. GRUB SUPER DISK is very handy. Do youthat error on grub boot?
[05:09] <JTSilius> can ubuntu be installed via iso image on a slave drive?

[05:09] <UltraMagnus> debnub: i get that error when i try to load winxp from grub
[05:10] <FunnyLookinHat> JTSilius, It's worth a try, I've heard of people installing it off of flash drives with the image on it...  but your motherboard and bios will have to support it
[05:10] <X3n0n> frogzoo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17007
[05:10] <JTSilius> FunnyLookinHat: ok thanks, maybe i should just go to my friend's house and burn a cd :)
[05:11] <debnub> UltraMAgnus: what is your boot partition, mbr on win xp partition?
[05:12] <milla> hello
[05:12] <johlin> could someone just quicky check their permissions on ~/.gnupg?
[05:13] <milla> how do i set this up to mount NTFS drives automatically
[05:13] <UltraMagnus> debnub: my winxp is on hda1 my ubuntu is on hda2 my boot partition is hda2
[05:13] <byen> is there a way to check where my external hdd is mounted? or is there a way to mount my external hdd
[05:13] <jsimmons> well, i disabled sata in bios to see if i can get drake installed. however, why does the live cd boot fine, yet the install fails?
[05:13] <Frogzoo> X3n0n: how many nics in this machine?
[05:14] <jsimmons> welcome to the 80's all over again
[05:14] <X3n0n> frogzoo: only one
[05:14] <tpelliott> How do I edit files if I'm not the "owner"?  I just installed ubuntu
[05:14] <X3n0n> frogzoo: if you mean the ubuntu pc
[05:14] <Frogzoo> jsimmons: the culprit would be sata driver maybe?
[05:14] <pdc303> tpelliott: sudo
[05:14] <Frogzoo> X3n0n: ok, remove the other nics in /etc/network/interfaces - just a sec
[05:14] <jrib> !sudo > tpelliott
[05:14] <jsimmons> buy why? sata's been around long enough that it shouldn't be a oproblem
[05:15] <X3n0n> frogzoo: now i am on xp...i'll go now on ubuntu
[05:15] <milla> hey, i want this to mount automatically the NTFS drives
[05:15] <milla> how can i do it?
[05:15] <johlin> milla: for me it does
[05:15] <milla> ...
[05:15] <jrib> !ntfs > milla
[05:16] <johlin> !ntfs > johlin
[05:16] <Frogzoo> jsimmons: well maybe it is...?!
[05:16] <ciaron> how do i find out what was updated in my last apt-get update?
[05:17] <ml> #kubuntu
[05:17] <UltraMagnus> debnub: are you still there?
[05:17] <doener> isn't the official ubuntu-channel now on OFTC?
[05:17] <SonicChao> doener, no.
[05:17] <Frogzoo> OFTC ??
[05:17] <SonicChao> doener, only Debian moved to OFTC.
[05:18] <SonicChao> Frogzoo, that's the network Debian moved too
[05:18] <doener> SonicChao: k, thank you
[05:18] <aunes> trying to load wine on dapper. I compiled from source, got 2 dll files needed (msvcp60 & mfc42) but I get the error: Applications tries to create window but no driver could be loaded. Make sure your X server is running (it is, I'm using gnome as we speak) and that $DISPLAY is set correctly
[05:18] <SonicChao> !oftc
[05:18] <ubotu> I know nothing about oftc
[05:18] <aunes> how do I know where to find $DISPLAY and what it should be set to?
[05:18] <SonicChao> !wine
[05:18] <johlin> It's an IRC network
[05:18] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[05:18] <Frogzoo> SonicChao: ooohhh someone spit the dummy?

[05:18] <aunes> thx
[05:18] <SonicChao> Frogzoo, guess so
[05:19] <SonicChao> Frogzoo, there are still people in #debian, believe it or not
[05:19] <SonicChao> Frogzoo, actually, 600 people. Only 132 less than here
[05:19] <alex_> i have installed the linux kernel linux-image-2.6.15-25-686, but the system does not start only with a 386 kernel. what to do?
[05:19] <alex_> ; have a 500Mhz 160mbsdram 16mb vga;

[05:20] <byen> :(
[05:20] <Frogzoo> aunes: why not try the up to date wine repo ? just use repo: "deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main"
[05:20] <ciaron> Frogzoo: not at all, there was no ill feeling at all, it was just people tended to gravitate towards oftc for whatever reasons, and oftc is closely linked to the debian project
[05:20] <debnub> UltraMAgnus: Grub gives you access to a command line, you can repair it from there. Or if your confortable with the command line, you could try grub superdisk
[05:20] <wheels351972> Does Gparted Allocate space as used after it's done it's operations?
[05:21] <jsimmons> install is apparently stuck at 82% - "Running 32gnome_power_manager"
[05:21] <Frogzoo> ciaron: good to know, thx m8
[05:21] <Schalken> is there a way to mount my ubuntu partition form the livecd???
[05:21] <jsimmons> i just can't catch a breaK HERE
[05:21] <UltraMagnus> debnub: oooh k, and how would one repair this through the command line?
[05:21] <ciaron> Frogzoo: np
[05:21] <debnub> UltraMAgnus: if your NOT confortable with a command line
[05:22] <philipsmith> I am running SUSE 10.0 and have downloaded DAPPER to take a look at it! I Downloaded it on my Windows XP machine, and I also downloaded the NERO MD5 verifier (http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/eng/Nero_MD5_Verifier.html). In Step 1 of the MD5 Verifier, I need to specify the "original MD5 checksum." I don't know what that is! I downloaded DAPPER from http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-releases/6.06/. Could you tell me how to find that o
[05:22] <philipsmith> riginal MD5 checksum?
[05:22] <alex_> can somebody help me?????????????????
[05:22] <UltraMagnus> debnub: ok, how would you fix it through the command line?

[05:23] <aunes> Frogzoo: Apparently wine doesn't like that. *shrug*
[05:23] <aunes> Frogzoo: I'm just following the how-to on linked to from Ubuntu
[05:23] <tim> greetings. I am new to ubuntu.. doing my first setup. Configuring software raid. Do I want the swap partition to be a physical volume for raid?

[05:24] <jsimmons> is there a way to skip the partitioning part of the install?
[05:24] <Frogzoo> aunes: this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingWineFromSource
[05:24] <aunes> one on the forums, but I'm following that one now.
[05:25] <Frogzoo> aunes: that's the one I'd recommend ;)
[05:25] <aunes> Frogzoo: I just found it. I actually had forgotten to do apt-get build-dep wine
[05:25] <aunes> Frogzoo: Do you play WoW via Wine?

[05:25] <arapehl> sigh
[05:25] <jongoldsz3> can someone help me setup wifi on my laptop?
[05:26] <DocTomoe> Hi ... I unfortunately still have a problem with my wlan configuration ... I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDriver%29#head-b3e888974e3f23d9367ca6f2f32edcb3764613a5, but the card (internal pciexpress Broadcom BCM4318) is still identified as eth1, and won't work
[05:26] <aunes> Frogzoo: Does CTRaidAssist (and other mods) work with it?
[05:26] <TanitoARG> Hello folks... I'm new here and I'm using Ubuntu 6.06 (I love it!). I have a little problem with my Wireless card... I think it could be related to power management... could someone help me?
[05:26] <arapehl> anyone?
[05:26] <debnub> UltraMagnus: Found this page who describes it. But there are several versions online. Check wich one is better for you. http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1829
[05:26] <Frogzoo> aunes: I've used mods that worked, not that one
[05:27] <byen> is dealing with external USBs that complicated or that silly? i have been trying for a long time and no one has any idea
[05:27] <jsimmons> is there a way to skip the partitioning part of the install?
[05:27] <byen> :(
[05:27] <Frogzoo> !patience
[05:27] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[05:27] <DocTomoe> byen: what are you trying to do?
[05:28] <byen> sorry Frogzoo very frustated
[05:28] <byen> DocTomoe, I am trying to mount an external USB harddrive
[05:28] <DocTomoe> so are we all, or most of us, byen
[05:28] <arapehl> I just changed my screen frequency to 87hz and the screen went blank... how can I change it back?
[05:28] <dagrump> alex_: try to reinstall that image & reboot
[05:28] <byen> it used to automount on Breezy but does not on Dapper anymore
[05:28] <DocTomoe> byen: should be existant as /dev/sda[NUMBER] , shouldn't it?
[05:29] <jongoldsz3> Does anyone know how to setup a WPA connection to a router?
[05:29] <byen> logically it shud. But i dont see it
[05:29] <jrib> arapehl: does the grub menu showup when you boot?
[05:29] <byen> on Breezy it used to be on sda1
[05:30] <byen> but on dapper it does not show up anywhere
[05:30] <DocTomoe> check if /media/sda1 directory exists and then try "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1"
[05:30] <johlin> be right back
[05:30] <arapehl> jrib: yeah... I chose recovery mode and now I'm in IRCII chatting in text mode... I haven't actually tried to restart the desktop yet
[05:30] <johlin> gonna see if initng works
[05:30] <Frogzoo> byen: tail -f /var/log/messages   - then plug it in & see what log is spat out
[05:31] <jrib> arapehl: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, should let you change it, or edit xorg.conf if you are comfortable
[05:31] <byen> ok Frogzoo ...trying it r8 now
[05:31] <MrWoo> help! i'm having major issues with the live CD
[05:31] <arapehl> jrib... I'm not comfortable ;)

[05:32] <DocTomoe> MrWoo: That's a very good problem description
[05:32] <MrWoo> well it really is multiple problems, best summed up by that description
[05:32] <jsimmons> is there a way to skip the partitioning part of the install?
[05:32] <MrWoo> allright
[05:33] <speel> Hey is there any way to request a package?
[05:33] <MrWoo> problem number 1: sometimes my Mac G4 doesn't even recognize the live CD is there, i have to pop it in and out a few times
[05:33] <Frogzoo> DocTomoe: you've a sharp eye for problem descriptions :)
[05:33] <jramsey> anyone ever see windows as apps are minimized leave a ghost of the window border on the screen as the window minimizes? (it is a decreasing size transparent box with nothing in it); was running a java app when this happened
[05:33] <ompaul> !sa
[05:33] <ubotu> For the Arabic language or Saudi Arabia you are invited to join     #ubuntu-sa
[05:33] <AlexC> Hey,
[05:33] <DocTomoe> MrWoo: next problem please - I don't use mac over here
[05:33] <Barkley> what's the command to quickly test the i/o speed of a disk?
[05:33] <MrWoo> allright
[05:33] <byen> Frogzoo, i get Jul  2 11:33:11 localhost kernel: [17184983.864000]  usb 4-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 19
[05:34] <MrWoo> when it does get the disc, it see a screen with a "boot:" prompt
[05:34] <arapehl> How can I leave IRC running and go back to the shell?
[05:34] <Frogzoo> byen: & that's all she wrote?
[05:34] <arapehl> and then switch back?
[05:34] <DocTomoe> MrWoo: have you tried pressing <ENTER> or the mac version of this?
[05:34] <MrWoo> and i'm now getting this new message about something being corrupt
[05:34] <byen> the last number address xx where xx keeps changing
[05:34] <byen> Frogzoo, ^
[05:34] <DocTomoe> MrWoo: about *what* being corrupt?
[05:34] <MrWoo> i'm getting "unknown or corrupt filesystem"
[05:35] <speel> Hey is there any way to request a package?
[05:35] <UltraMagnus> how do i open a text file as root please?
[05:35] <Ribs> speel: you can always make one yourself :)
[05:35] <MrWoo> it says it can't open vmlinux file
[05:35] <speel> Lol true but i'll leave it up to the experts xD
[05:36] <DocTomoe> MrWoo: seems your live cd is defective. Did you burn it yourself?
[05:36] <MrWoo> yea
[05:36] <skavenge> UltraMagnus: just use sudo beforehand, example 'sudo gedit xorg.conf' or whatever, when it asks for password put your user password in
[05:36] <MrWoo> i dled the ISO and the md5 for the ISO checked out
[05:36] <DocTomoe> MrWoo: if so, burn it at a lower speed and try again.
[05:36] <DocTomoe> MrWoo: some cd burners are somewhat messy at high speeds -_-
[05:37] <philipsmith> I downloaded DAPPER. How do I check to see if it downloaded correctly?
[05:37] <aunes_> rabble rabble...
[05:37] <wastrel> philipsmith:  get the md5 sum
[05:37] <MrWoo> allright, well i've never had a problem with this one b4, i've literally burnt over 30 DVDs with it and not one had a problem
[05:37] <jramsey> arapeh1 ctrl-alt-f1 to switch to console mode, ctrl-alt-f7 to switch back
[05:37] <MrWoo> i would think CDs would be a walk in the park for it
[05:37] <wastrel> philipsmith:  and check it against the published md5 sum for the iso you downloaded
[05:37] <Frogzoo> byen: in a perfect world, you'd get something like "Initializing USB Mass Storage driver..."
[05:37] <aunes_> so how do I uninstall something I installed by source (speficially wine)?
[05:37] <MrWoo> alghouth, the first time i was trying to burn it DVD decrypter gave me some crap error message
[05:37] <philipsmith> wastrel: where can I find the published md5 sum?
[05:38] <MrWoo> i'm going to do it a little different this time
[05:38] <UltraMagnus> skavenge: that diddent work!
[05:38] <UltraMagnus> oops
[05:38] <byen> Frogzoo, so is there anything i can do
[05:38] <wastrel> philipsmith:  usually in the same place you find the link to the iso.. where'd you get the iso?
[05:38] <DocTomoe> I still have that problem with my broadcom BCM4318 wlan card ... if someone has an idea, I'd welcome it...
[05:38] <sexcopter8000m> how do i get a fps score with glxgears?
[05:38] <skavenge> ultramagnus;  thats how you open as root, what error did it give?
[05:39] <wastrel> sexcopter8000m:  -showfps  prolly
[05:39] <jrib> !glxgears
[05:39] <ubotu> To display the FPS in glxgears, run 'glxgears -printfps' in a terminal.
[05:39] <sexcopter8000m> thanks!
[05:39] <wastrel> ah s/show/print/
[05:39] <UltraMagnus> skavenge: that i dont have sufficent privilages to overwrite the file
[05:39] <philipsmith> Wastrel: http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-releases/6.06/
[05:39] <skavenge> UltraMagnus: even with 'sudo'? that doesnt make any sense unless even as root it is read only
[05:39] <compengi> i need a canon i350 ubuntu driver
[05:39] <jsimmons> hmmm, that might be my problem - burned cd at 48x...
[05:39] <Josh9> hey guys, quick question: which do i download to perm install, server or desktop?
[05:40] <wastrel> philipsmith:  http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-releases/6.06/MD5SUMS   (there's a link near the middle of the page)
[05:40] <skavenge> Josh9: either .. both are livecds and installs as well
[05:40] <Frogzoo> byen: that's it? just the one line & nothing more?
[05:40] <sexcopter8000m> and is 3700 or so fps in glxgears "good"?
[05:40] <DocTomoe> compengi: go and ask canon? Canon isn't particulary helpful with giving device information etc.
[05:40] <philipsmith> wastrel: THANKS!!!!
[05:40] <byen> Frogzoo, Jul  2 11:40:28 localhost kernel: [17185421.336000]  usb 4-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 123
[05:40] <Josh9> skavenge: Oh, what do i type in boot screen during install to perm install?
[05:40] <UltraMagnus> skavenge: its the boot.lst in the grub files
[05:40] <byen> and the adress number keeps changing
[05:40] <DocTomoe> sexcopter8000m: as your brain only is able to check 25 picures per second, yes.
[05:41] <aunes_> Frogzoo: What's the url for the installation of wine from source?
[05:41] <skavenge> Josh9: just hit enter, it loads the x window system from the livecd then on the desktop there's an icon called 'install' click on it and there you go
[05:41] <Josh9> Ahh thanks:D
[05:41] <sexcopter8000m> DocTomoe, that's not quite the point though is it? it's a simple rendering and i though scores in the thousands of fps were normal. just wondering if my graphics card is up to scratch
[05:42] <jramsey> sexcopter8000m, mine is 94 min and broadcast tv is 30 so yeah that is good
[05:42] <DocTomoe> sexcopter8000m: basically, this is the point.
[05:42] <Josh9> skavenge ill go try it now, soon ill have the latest ubuntu :P
[05:42] <aunes> Anyone know how to uninstall something you've installed from source?
[05:43] <pppoe_dude> aunes, try 'make uninstall' in the directory you installed from
[05:43] <aunes> awesome. thx.
[05:43] <Frogzoo> aunes: this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingWineFromSource
[05:43] <aunes> Frogzoo: Yup. Thanks!
[05:43] <mwe> sexcopter8000m: if you think the fps in glxgears is to low change resolution and try again or make the window really small. that will bump up your "benchmark"
[05:43] <byen> Frogzoo, does that mean I am screwed.. or that there is still an option? what gets me is.. it used awesome on Breezy
[05:43] <Frogzoo> byen: not screwed, just delayed
[05:44] <Frogzoo> byen: google is your friend - what's the drive make/model?
[05:44] <skavenge> UltraMagnus: you should have no problem editing the boot.lst using sudo .. you could try 'sudo nautilus' in terminal which will open the file browser in root and navigate to the boot dir and try to edit it that way
[05:44] <byen> i will check google out Frogzoo
[05:45] <Frogzoo> aunes: make uninstall (from existing build directory)
[05:45] <aunes> Frogzoo: Got it. thx.
[05:45] <jsimmons> does anyone think burning at 12x would be too fast for the iso?
[05:45] <DocTomoe> jsimmons: depends on your burner
[05:46] <DocTomoe> jsimmons: worked fine for me, however
[05:46] <jsimmons> it's a brand new lite-on
[05:46] <skavenge> burner and media, i burnt mine at 16x no hiccups
[05:46] <speel> i usually burn all my media at 24x
[05:46] <MrWoo> DocTomoe: just burned it again, getting the exact same error, its can't find the exact same file
[05:47] <MrWoo> Doctomoe: something about not being able to find vmlinux
[05:47] <GrubChub> Howdy peeps, anyone have some time to help me through some PHP installation questionmobobs?
[05:47] <wastrel> i really want to because of the word questionmobobs but i don't know anything about php
[05:48] <DocTomoe> MrWoo: then, I'm out of ideas -_-
[05:48] <jsimmons> well, the install seems to be failing at randomly different places, so I'm gonna try a slower burn and see if that helps
[05:48] <GrubChub> hehe
[05:48] <debnub> Internet services partially running. www is ok, but can acess gaim. I'm behind a external router. Any help?
[05:48] <GrubChub> well ubuntuguide.org makes it look pretty easy
[05:48] <GrubChub> apache was a peice o cake
[05:49] <wastrel> debnub:  is your router filtering outgoing internet?
[05:49] <ompaul> !ubuntuguide
[05:49] <ubotu> ubuntuguide is an inaccurate and outdated resource. Please use help.ubuntu.com or wiki.ubuntu.com instead
[05:49] <GrubChub> but forwhatever reason apt is spitting out E: Couldn't find package php5
[05:49] <johnnyX> how do i set my laptop so i dont have to give a password every time i close the lid?
[05:49] <MrWoo> doctomoe:this is weird cause the first live cd I burned kinda work, something went wrong with Gnome when it loaded though
[05:49] <GrubChub> ah alrighty
[05:49] <ompaul> GrubChub, read what ubotu said
[05:49] <GrubChub> ty ubotu & paul
[05:49] <pppoe_dude> any ideas if aview can produce coloured output?
[05:50] <pppoe_dude> or a similar program
[05:50] <debnub> wastrel, i think not, but not completely sure. it runs busybox
[05:50] <jsimmons> if it's inaccruate and outdated, why is it still available?
[05:50] <wastrel> i dunno from busybox.
[05:50] <wastrel> debnub:  you're in control of the router?
[05:50] <MrWoo> doctomoe:allright, the problem is with my Burner, i don't know what he heck is going on but its giving me this message about not being able to stream something
[05:50] <ompaul> GrubChub, ubotu is the channel guide
[05:50] <ompaul> !multiverse
[05:50] <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

[05:51] <skavenge> naw ive seen people have 15 minute conversations with the bot without knowing it hah
[05:51] <debnub> wastrel: Yes. Have http and telnet access.
[05:51] <GrubChub> thanks for that php installtion help, you doin anything tonight? ;) :pp
[05:52] <johnnyX> does anyone know how to configure my laptop so i wont have to give a password every time i close the lid?
[05:52] <wastrel> johnnyX:  if you find out, let me know
[05:52] <GrubChub> I imagine that's a pretty necessary security feature johnny
[05:52] <GrubChub> I wouldn't want that removed
[05:52] <debnub> Wastrel: i suspect its a dns problem. but couldn't figure how to solve it
[05:52] <johnnyX> its not
[05:52] <Nilsy> GrubChub, depends on why you got a laptop
[05:52] <johnnyX> i want it removed
[05:53] <GrubChub> ah
[05:53] <johnnyX> its really annoying
[05:53] <kismet> I can get esd to not open exclusive the /dev/dsp ?
[05:53] <wastrel> debnub:  but your web works?   can you resolve names from the command line with host?  host google.com
[05:53] <Nilsy> johnnyX, yeah I agree ;)
[05:53] <Nilsy> thou I never got my ass around to disable it
[05:53] <johnnyX> do you know how to fix it NickaNicka ?
[05:53] <johnnyX> someone helped me before
[05:53] <johnnyX> i cant remember what file to edit though
[05:53] <Nilsy> gconf ?
[05:53] <johnnyX> something in /etc/acpi/
[05:54] <debnub> wastrel: Can ping router but not www.google.com
[05:54] <i\o> How can i install fluxbox and gnome.. or enlightenment and gnome.. it seems that it just goes right into flux or e without gnome
[05:54] <Consty> Is there anyway to get beta software installed through synaptic?  For example installing firefox 2.0?
[05:54] <wastrel> debnub:  can you ping 64.233.167.99
[05:55] <dagrump> johnnyX: sys>admin>login>security tab. enable automatic login 4 your user name
[05:55] <michel> Consty, only if someone made a package for it
[05:55] <debnub> wastel: nop
[05:56] <Jack_Sparrow> What is the official position on support.. gksudo nautilus --no-desktop has a glitch and does not work, so should we use gksudo nautilus or sudu nautilus --no-desktpo
[05:56] <Nilsy> johnnyX, screenblack perhaps ?
[05:56] <Nilsy> that atleast lock the screen
[05:56] <wastrel> debnub:  but your web works, so the router must be blocking your outbound traffic
[05:56] <alex_> i have installed the linux kernel linux-image-2.6.15-25-686, but the system does not start only with a 386 kernel. what to do?
[05:56] <fyrestrtr> alex_: how did you install it?
[05:56] <wastrel> debnub:  check your router config interface
[05:56] <alex_> sudo apt-get install
[05:57] <wastrel> alex_:  your computer only runs with the -386 kernel?
[05:57] <alex_> yes
[05:57] <fyrestrtr> alex_: hit esc when grub is loading then choose it from the menu
[05:57] <Nilsy> but I think you can just disable lock in the screensaver gconf setup
[05:57] <johnnyX> dagrump, i dont see anyting on automatic login for my user?
[05:57] <alex_> 686 doesn't start when i choose it
[05:57] <alex_> safe mode don't work too
[05:57] <Fatal`> so has the random total lockup issue been fixed?  browsing the forums, the threads tell me otherwise
[05:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Fata.. it is just you.. :)
[05:58] <wastrel> alex_:  your processor doesn't support 686 maybe
[05:58] <Fatal`> psh, obviously not :P
[05:58] <alex_> celeron 500 Mhz
[05:58] <Fatal`> otherwise there wouldn't be 10 page threads on the issue
[05:58] <Fatal`> :)
[05:58] <wastrel> alex_:  cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep family
[05:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Fatal`: Just kidding..
[05:58] <Fatal`> ....

[06:01] <johnnyX> i just cant remember what file to edit and what to put in
[06:01] <dagrump> u could always upgrade
[06:01] <aunes> is there a diffrence between:   sudo dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b  and   running the same as root?
[06:01] <jrib> mmyjona: just ask your question
[06:01] <monomaniacpat> Anyone here good with wine?
[06:01] <mmyjona> ok
[06:01] <mmyjona> i am using icewm

[06:02] <mmyjona> and the icewm-session doesn't work
[06:02] <aunes> jsimmons: I burned at 8x (twice, actually) better safe than sorry :-/
[06:02] <mmyjona> it said a session has already running
[06:02] <fyrestrtr> Gullstad: you might need to install it
[06:02] <johnnyX> does anyone know how to edit /etc/acpi so i wont have to type in a password everytime i close my laptop for breezy?
[06:02] <monomaniacpat> I need a specific .dll for wine to run half-life
[06:02] <apollo2011> hi everyone
[06:02] <alex_> wastrel. and support my cpu 686?
[06:02] <johnnyX> can you turn the password off altogether?

[06:02] <adamant1988> can someone help me to get my canon pixma ip1500 working under Ubuntu dapper 6.06?
[06:02] <johnnyX> i dont really need any security on this laptop
[06:02] <mmyjona> i didn't see the desktop and wallpapper and icons
[06:03] <wastrel> alex_:  cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep family

[06:03] <Frogzoo> anyone use hnb?   there's highlighting when editing...
[06:03] <wastrel> alex_:  i guess that should work with 686, i don't know the problem.
[06:03] <shadeofgrey> hey everybody
[06:03] <Barkley> Seveas did you msg me?
[06:03] <Frogzoo> anyone use hnb?   there's _no_ highlighting when editing...
[06:03] <jsimmons> aunes well, i have a crapload of empty CDs and nothing but time... >/
[06:04] <wastrel> what's hnb?
[06:04] <jsimmons> is there a way to skip the partitioning part of the install?
[06:04] <Seveas> Barkley, no
[06:04] <apollo2011> I am installing ubuntu on my laptop and I used the partition tool in the graphical installation to remove a partition and resize my c: ntfs partition larger and leave room for Linux, but I think what happened was the partition was resized but the fs wasn't, because Windows still says C has the same space as before but the Disk Management and every Linux partition manager shows the drive as larger. How can I fix this?
[06:04] <shadeofgrey> is the update for openoffice.org from version 2.0.2 to 2.0.3 available through ubuntuy yet?
[06:04] <Gullstad> fyrestrtr: And what to do when It
[06:04] <Barkley> i'm not reg on this network, so pms are ignored.  ok

[06:04] <Gullstad> fyrestrtr: And what to do when It's "locked"?
[06:04] <gnomefreak> shadeofgrey: no
[06:04] <Frogzoo> wastrel: hierarchical notebook
[06:05] <wastrel> apollo2011:  sounds like a windows problem... :] 
[06:05] <fyrestrtr> Gullstad: you use it to resize partitions.
[06:05] <shadeofgrey> gnomefreak:  have any idea wghen it'll hit the pike?  its a really significant update
[06:05] <gnomefreak> shadeofgrey: not sure it will
[06:05] <Gullstad> fyrestrtr: .. but i can't :s

[06:05] <alex_> i change something in the sources.list! is that a problem??
[06:05] <apollo2011> wastrel: I don't know. the Windows Disk Management program knows about the increased space but the file system doesn't reflect that change
[06:05] <alex_> or the problem
[06:05] <shadeofgrey> gnomefreak:  who would be the best person to talk to about it?
[06:05] <aunes> Does ubuntu use any specific naming conventions when upgrading?
[06:06] <fyrestrtr> eh? what do you mean you can't?
[06:06] <iLLf8d> greetings
[06:06] <iLLf8d> hey all whats the name of that script/app that adds additional media apps and tweaks to ubuntu ala mplayer/xine like stuffs?
[06:06] <Gullstad> fyrestrtr: It's only pics. of some locks and I cant do anything whti the partition
[06:06] <gnomefreak> shadeofgrey: dont know truthfully i havent seen or heard anything about it being ported for dapper nor edgy
[06:07] <fyrestrtr> Gullstad: you can't resize the partition that you are actively using.
[06:07] <gnomefreak> shadeofgrey: i would try the ubuntu users mailinglist
[06:07] <Gullstad> fyrestrtr: Well, only got one partition and swap.
[06:07] <Tobler> damnit... which key do i press to boot from the live cd?
[06:08] <fyrestrtr> Gullstad: hrmm, you would need to reboot from a CD that had gparted to resize it then -- because you can't resize an active partition (iirc)
[06:08] <fwtest> if i connect to solaris box and try to read mail with mutt, the german umlaut is not correctly showed, also if i try to write mail, the backspace works like delete key, what should i do?
[06:08] <fyrestrtr> fwtest: set the correct TERM type
[06:08] <Jack_Sparrow> tobler, usually just power it up
[06:09] <Gullstad> fyrestrtr: Doh, well. Cant be bothered now. ;-)
[06:09] <fwtest> fyrestrtr, how?
[06:09] <dagrump> iLLf8d: automatix
[06:09] <Jack_Sparrow> tobler, is your pc set to look at the cd boot sector before looking at the hard drive
[06:09] <fyrestrtr> fwtest: export TERM=something-here -- dont know what it is for solaris. Never had the pleasure of working with it.
[06:09] <Tobler> probably not, since it starts windows
[06:10] <Jack_Sparrow> tpbler, hit delete is the usual way to get into the bios and check it
[06:10] <shadeofgrey> im going to try the forums instead
[06:10] <iLLf8d> dagrump, thanks pointed me in the right direction! have you tried automatix and easyubuntu? was wondering if there were any obvious differences in the end result
[06:10] <Jack_Sparrow> tobler, on power up during memory test
[06:10] <dstyrk> Having problems with the LiveCD .  I get it to start up, then it gets a far a playing a little sound then the screen goes black.  I left it like that for 10-15 min just to see if it would finish and still nothing..  I am trying to run it on an old G3 iMac
[06:10] <Tobler> okay
[06:10] <hakanw> I'm using ubuntu-server, and just installed vsftpd.  I want all users to be able to upload files to ~/public_html ... but if they do now, the files don't allow read access to the web server by default, how do I fix this?

[06:15] <erUSUL> !anyone
[06:15] <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?
[06:15] <erUSUL> abderahman: just ask
[06:15] <michel_> huh, so far dapper seems to be buggier than warty for me
[06:15] <michel_> ymmv ;)
[06:15] <Jack_Sparrow> abderahman:  how did you try to open it
[06:16] <jsimmons> install stuck AGAIN at 97% ("completely removed user-setup")
[06:16] <abderahman>  well look i instaled the linux sistem in my pc and i burnd on a dvd the msn torret and some other tuf well when i instaled linux i trid 2 put what  is on the dvd on the desktop and it said error and i cant open the msn nither whats going on what can i do?
[06:16] <michel_> weird bug in synaptic, I click apply and get an error, and then click apply again and it works
[06:16] <Jack_Sparrow> abderahman: stop repeating, and answer the question
[06:16] <Manny> michel_: you reported it already, right?
[06:16] <erUSUL> abderahman: what is msn?
[06:16] <michel_> Manny, I just discovered it ;)
[06:17] <concept10> erUSUL, do you know anyone that might know someone that knows anything about something at all in somewhat of a bind
[06:17] <michel_> but yeah, i'll drop it in right now
[06:17] <skavenge> anyone know offhand where to set video output in gxine?
[06:17] <erUSUL> abderahman: to acces the msn im network use gaim? Apps>Internet>gaim
[06:17] <abderahman> messenger
[06:17] <michel_> dappper also doesn't get my panel res right (like breezy), but warty got it just fine.
[06:17] <johnnyX> how do you force a process to be killed
[06:17] <abderahman> can some 1 help me
[06:18] <fyrestrtr> johnnyX: kill -9 pid
[06:18] <Jack_Sparrow> abderahman:  how did you try to open it or copy it to your desktop?
[06:18] <michel_> johnnyX, if you can see the frozen program in X you can also run xkill and then click the hung program
[06:18] <erUSUL> abderahman: you can not exec msn in dapper. Use gaim to connect to messenger
[06:18] <johnnyX> it keeps saying operation not permitted
[06:18] <Jack_Sparrow> abderahman:  Did you verify the burn to dvd with another machine?
[06:18] <Ng> johnnyX: use sudo
[06:18] <fyrestrtr> johnnyX: sudo kill -9 pid
[06:19] <abderahman> yes
[06:19] <abderahman> with windows
[06:19] <johnnyX> i did fyrestrtr
[06:19] <abderahman> what is gain
[06:19] <skavenge> ooh a little contrast tweaking in gxine made it pretty watchable, sweet

[06:19] <m0gsi> Hey guys how do i get gedit out of over run

[06:20] <Polkadotshorts> Also, how can I install skype?
[06:20] <Ng> johnnyX: -15 is a regular "please exit now" signal, -9 tells the kernel to unload the process. see "man kill" for more information

[06:25] <Jack_Sparrow> tobler 3 or default

[06:31] <Tobler> did they change GMT? it says sweden is GMT +2
[06:31] <CrazyDoode> randomdouche: yes, the install disk can do this for you
[06:31] <sysdoc> Tobler, I'd get the install CD and not the live CD for installing
[06:31] <Jack_Sparrow> randomdouche:  yes, but I would do it with partition magic for windows
[06:31] <Ng> Tobler: summer time?
[06:31] <Tobler> hmm... that might be it
[06:32] <lapisdecor> hi I have a question about /var/www permissions, should i ask it here or in another channel?
[06:32] <Tobler> what's bad about using the live cd? =/
[06:32] <Jack_Sparrow> tobler, you can fix it later clicking on the clock
[06:32] <rootero> I have changed my default's user configuration with usermode and I can not enter anymore, any clue to recover it?
[06:32] <sysdoc> Tobler, It is like Ubuntu-Lite
[06:32] <rootero> with "usermod" pardon
[06:33] <jsimmons> i've tried disabling sata in bios, completely unplugging the sata drives, burning at slower speeds, trying the other install CDs (alternate and amd64)
[06:33] <Jack_Sparrow> sysdoc:  I havent heard that before
[06:33] <OHPhoneGuy> Who do I talk to about helping out with the OEM installer?
[06:33] <jsimmons> i'm almost done burning the cd at the slowest speed (8x)
[06:33] <johnnyX> has anyone used gpsdrive?
[06:33] <Tobler> why would the install cd and the live cd install different ubuntus?
[06:34] <Jack_Sparrow> jsimmons:  so it hates your sata, what does it do, what error
[06:34] <bony> johnnyX, yes
[06:34] <jsimmons> it doesn't matter if sata is in ior not - install always fails
[06:34] <gnomefreak> Tobler: if they are both 6.06 they wouldnt
[06:34] <jsimmons> i'm installing onto a brand new 200gb drive
[06:34] <michel_> jsimmons, did you try the alternate install?
[06:34] <jsimmons> yes
[06:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Tob I understand that the install is the old installer live is the new one.  I have not heard anything about being different until now
[06:35] <sysdoc> Jack_Sparrow, I was reading that there were some things that were not included on the LiveCD a week or 2 ago. Don't recall what they were, to.
[06:35] <Tobler> gnomefreak: they are
[06:35] <amortvigil> how can i share via a terminal?
[06:35] <amortvigil> how can i share files via a terminal?
[06:35] <gnomefreak> they should bei nstalling same version of ubuntu than
[06:35] <jsimmons> i'm about to try the kubuntu insatall
[06:35] <michel_> well that's all i got unfortunately, jsimmons were you previously using warty?
[06:35] <jsimmons> no - brand new driive
[06:35] <Jack_Sparrow> sysdoc:  anything missing can be quickly added if you find you need it.
[06:35] <sysdoc> Jack_Sparrow, sure
[06:35] <pradeep> amortvigil, ftp ?
[06:35] <michel_> hmm, it might be worth it for diagnostic purposes to try a warty install, and then do an upgrade
[06:35] <fyrestrtr> amortvigil: what what with whom?
[06:35] <BrownMan> hi, i installed xgl on my computer but now when i open banshee music player it is always visible on all workspaces and is discolored (not to my theme) and acts like it is frozen even though it is not
[06:36] <fyrestrtr> BrownMan: #ubuntu-xgl :)
[06:36] <johnnyX> bony, why does it say my computer is in germany when im in idaho?
[06:36] <BrownMan> im in there but no one is responding
[06:36] <Frogzoo> BrownMan: -> #ubuntu-xgl
[06:36] <Jack_Sparrow> jsimmons:  do you have bios option to treat sata as ide?
[06:36] <xcons> Heya. Is anyone able to help with a prism2 based wireless card? warty warthog (4.10)?
[06:36] <bony> johnnyX, so did you plug in the gps device?
[06:36] <BrownMan> frog and fyre, in there but no one is saying anything
[06:37] <jsimmons> jack_sparrow - not an option in bios - it does use sata1 mode though
[06:37] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[06:37] <amortvigil> fyrestrtr: like hwo i can get from ubuntu server to my fathers windows workstation?
[06:37] <Jack_Sparrow> jsimmons: where does the install fail?
[06:37] <johnnyX> lol
[06:37] <Frogzoo> !samba > amortvigil
[06:37] <fyrestrtr> amortvigil: Places -> Connect to Server...
[06:37] <jsimmons> jack_sparrow usually at 97%
[06:38] <amortvigil> fyrestrtr: i told you i got ubuntu server there is no hui
[06:38] <Jack_Sparrow> jsimmons:  I assume you did the cd self check?
[06:38] <amortvigil> gui
[06:38] <Tobler> whoo, installing. Now, how good is wine for running games and other windows apps?
[06:38] <jsimmons> jack_sparrow every time
[06:38] <Frogzoo> !appdb > Tobler
[06:38] <joeljkp> i'm looking for a way to play doom that's as close to the original as possible; is there such a thing?
[06:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !wine > tobler
[06:38] <joeljkp> maybe with bugfixes only or something?
[06:39] <Frogzoo> joeljkp: you can get the real thing...
[06:39] <michel_> joeljkp, search in synaptic for 'doom' there are a few options for you
[06:39] <JustCharlie> Hello, may I ask a question please.
[06:39] <skavenge> i think the doom engine is gpl, you gotta get the .wads from somewhere else though
[06:39] <michel_> i think one is called lxdoom
[06:39] <michel_> and the other is boom
[06:39] <michel_> or something like that
[06:39] <amarokker> Hi cant open evolution no more :(
[06:39] <joeljkp> frogzoo: is there an original linux installer on the disc?
[06:39] <fyrestrtr> amortvigil: you need the samba tools then, search the wiki or query the bot
[06:40] <michel_> and there are free .wads called 'freedoom'
[06:40] <JustCharlie> ...new to IRC, obviously...
[06:40] <joeljkp> michel_: yeah, i'm looking up some of those, but they all seem like they're focused on adding features and new graphics and stuff
[06:40] <johnnyX> what is the plugin that gets the album info when you rip a cd?
[06:40] <chrisbudden14> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1205756&postcount=159
[06:40] <Jack_Sparrow> JustCharlie: what is the problem?
[06:40] <chrisbudden14> new gnome-main-menu
[06:40] <joeljkp> michel_: is there an official linxu binary or something i can use? or a "pure" updated version?
[06:40] <amarokker> And why's gnome acting up lately?
[06:40] <skavenge> the shareware wads are in the repos as well i see
[06:41] <amarokker> after 2.14.?
[06:41] <jsimmons> kubuntu startup sound is soooo gay
[06:41] <joeljkp> skavenge: yeah, i'm looking for a "pure" engine to use
[06:41] <amarokker> jsimmons: gay as in light-hearted, joyful?
[06:42] <Frogzoo> joeljkp: you might take a look here: http://eyagi.bpa.nu/eyagi/community-projects/yagisan-s-doomsday-for-debian-ubuntu
[06:42] <jsimmons> no gay as in flamming faggot gay
[06:42] <JustCharlie> Thanks Jack_Sparrow, I was wondering if anyone has ever been able to configure/use a smart card (eg ActivCard) reader in Ubuntu (for accessing secure websites, authenticating w/ smart card certificate)
[06:42] <amarokker> jsimmons: kde is just too bulky- but still apps are quite useful-
[06:43] <skavenge> amarokker: i agree
[06:43] <jsimmons> well, i wouldn't be trying to install it if ubuntu would cooperaTE
[06:43] <Jack_Sparrow> JustCharlie:  google ubuntu smartcard and lots of into is there
[06:43] <johnnyX> i need something that will rip the track title and album info
[06:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Kubuntu kept crashing on me..
[06:43] <johnnyX> i had it before but i cant find it
[06:44] <jsimmons> JACK_sparrow if it installs, i'm gonna keep it
[06:44] <Ckenyon> Afternoon all
[06:44] <skavenge> i was just never a fan of the default themes in kde .. im sure with some work it can look fancy .. i havent tried it since breezy anyway
[06:44] <JustCharlie> I see that - it looks like I get CCID for USB driver and perhaps ActivCard middleware to work with Firefox?  I was just wondering if anyone here has successfully done such a thing
[06:44] <Jack_Sparrow> npuse what works
[06:44] <pppoe_dude> anyone know how i can disable mouse cursor themes in gnome??
[06:45] <Ckenyon> Is there anyone there who can help me with an install of dapper on a new machine - Am trying to work out the partioning
[06:45] <jsimmons> i've been figting the installer for two days now
[06:45] <eclair> Ckenyon: what's up?
[06:45] <amarokker> I've asked the question earlier here on irc- about a dapper iso i downloaded- did the md5 sum check-  it checks out- but when i try to install ubuntu on afresh, i get the message corrupt kernel
[06:45] <amarokker> i downloaded from one of the mirrors- i think sunsite
[06:46] <pppoe_dude> amarokker, might be a corrupt CD burn
[06:46] <jsimmons> copying files...
[06:46] <Ckenyon> eclair:  I want to leave windows on the laptop and give it 20% of the hardrive
[06:46] <JustCharlie> I would like to know what you find out as well Ckenyon, it seems everyone has a different opinion on partitioning
[06:46] <amarokker> pppoe_dude: yeah- lately i've been unable to burn anything on ubuntu properly- I'll know when i check it using a virtual drive-
[06:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Ckenyon: If partitioning an NTFS drive I still prefer a windows tool like Partition MAgic
[06:47] <amarokker> i mean on windows- speaking of which lemme see if apps work when i mount it on linux
[06:48] <Ckenyon> I am using the dapper cd on a friends new pc
[06:48] <Ckenyon> So just want to use the dapper CD
[06:48] <amarokker> wine: could not load L"Z:\\home\\g0dchild\\archives\\dapper\\programs\\abiword\\AbiwordSetup.exe": Bad EXE format for
[06:48] <amarokker> thats the message i get?
[06:48] <Fatal`> hehe, i was thinking of installing dapper on my friends old 300mhz pc
[06:48] <amarokker> any clues as to what is going wrong?
[06:49] <salah> any idea how to check my CPU temperature?
[06:49] <jsimmons> configurting apps
[06:49] <michel_> Fatal`, go for it, i got it running fine here on an 366mhz server (with 512MB ram, that might be your only bottleneck on the old machines)
[06:49] <Jack_Sparrow> amarokker:  did you do winecfg?
[06:49] <jsimmons> scanning mirror
[06:49] <michel_> ram is everything ;)
[06:49] <jsimmons> detecting hardware
[06:50] <Jack_Sparrow> go jsimmons
[06:50] <jsimmons> configuring hardware
[06:50] <jsimmons> i ain't gettin' a woody just yet
[06:50] <jsimmons> removing packages
[06:51] <dstyrk> is installing the server pretty straight forward?  i am trying to install the server so that I can then install the desktop
[06:51] <jsimmons> and it freakin hangs again
[06:52] <Jack_Sparrow> dstyrk:  why not the standard install ?
[06:52] <fyrestrtr> dstyrk: just type 'server' (minus the quotes) at the boot: prompt
[06:52] <zOap> dstyrk, why would you install a desktop on the server?
[06:52] <Jack_Sparrow> jsimmons:  be patient
[06:52] <michel_> joeljkp, i don't know much about the games myself, i just see the packages come up every now and then in synaptic
[06:52] <ubuntu> hi
[06:52] <jsimmons> it's stuck at removing ntfsprogs
[06:52] <ubuntu> how do i have internet?
[06:52] <dstyrk> Jack_Sparrow:  well I am out of CD that will hold the standard
[06:52] <michel_> ubuntu, you download it
[06:52] <Frogzoo> zOap: web interface at least...
[06:52] <ubuntu> how
[06:53] <jsimmons> how long should I wait?
[06:53] <zOap> Frogzoo, naah,
[06:53] <ubuntu> michel_ how
[06:53] <Jack_Sparrow> jsimmons:  I would give it 5 or 10 just to be sure
[06:53] <Frogzoo> zOap: that's the spirit
[06:53] <jsimmons> k
[06:53] <Ckenyon> Any help on the install of Ubuntu to a new PC - Simply need advice on ensuring that I do not wipe Windows from this machine, would like to leave 20% of the HD for it
[06:53] <dstyrk> Unless I become pretty good with these computers and understand how to do the network install by the end of the day... I am going to try this way
[06:53] <michel_> ubuntu, my response was not serious.  your question is extremely broad, no one could possibly know the answer for you
[06:53] <zOap> Frogzoo, :) yeah. I'm not a big fan of gui servers
[06:54] <michel_> ask specific questions or go read the manual
[06:54] <ubuntu> i have no internets
[06:54] <dstyrk> I pretty much have a day to waste and a computer to experiment with
[06:54] <dstyrk> Linux... sounded fun.
[06:54] <ubuntu> i search 4 explorer
[06:54] <Frogzoo> ubuntu: the default irc nic on a stock ubuntu install is... you guessed...
[06:54] <zOap> fyrestrtr, I think you're right... :/
[06:54] <ubuntu> irc?
[06:55] <Jack_Sparrow> dstyrk: Have at it.. not hard
[06:55] <ubuntu> i look at help
[06:55] <ubuntu> i did gaim
[06:55] <fyrestrtr> Frogzoo: depending on the client you use. On irssi its your username.
[06:55] <ubuntu> help said ask here
[06:55] <skavenge> ubuntu; you mean you cant find the web browser?
[06:55] <ubuntu> ya i cant find the internets
[06:55] <michel_> fyrestrtr,  yeah, I try to assume the trolls are just innocent idiots at least for the first 2 questions ;)
[06:55] <smaugslayer> anyone try suse 10.1 yet?  wondering how is compares to dapper.
[06:55] <zOap> ubuntu, alt+F2, firefox
[06:55] <fyrestrtr> yeah I like to wait it out myself.
[06:56] <smaugslayer> err, how it compares
[06:56] <ubuntu> Welcome to Ubuntu 6.06 LTS!
[06:56] <ubuntu> thats help
[06:56] <Frogzoo> ubuntu: can you click on the firefox icon?
[06:56] <dstyrk> Jack_Sparrow:  I have used the live CD about a year ago.. That worked perfect on my brand new eMac... But I am having some issues with this older iMac..  I think I get through it.
[06:57] <tonyyarusso> Uncool kernel 2.6.15-23.  Literally.  Not only are there problems with suspend, but now it won't even shut down with the new subversion, but fan control turns off, so the system ends up heating up.
[06:57] <fyrestrtr> hrmm ubuntulog looks suspect.
[06:57] <fyrestrtr> tonyyarusso: what laptop?
[06:57] <tonyyarusso> fyrestrtr: Thinkpad T43.
[06:58] <pppoe_dude> anyone know how i can disable mouse cursor themes in gnome?? i want the original X cursor
[06:58] <fyrestrtr> eh? works fine here.
[06:58] <Jack_Sparrow> dstyrk: I have a P5 here gathering dust, booted it onece looked around and shut it down
[06:58] <Fatal`> yeah, i wouldn't have any trouble installing it, but i want to make sure the stability troubles are fixed before i put ubuntu on any friends computers
[06:58] <fyrestrtr> Fatal`: stability troubles are generally the fault of the hardware being used.
[06:58] <skavenge> stability is relative to hardware
[06:59] <Jack_Sparrow> agreed
[06:59] <fyrestrtr> Fatal`: best way to judge is to boot from the livecd and let it run for a few days.
[06:59] <fyrestrtr> then you can click the aptly-named 'Install' icon to get it installed.
[07:00] <Fatal`> yeah, i should of noticed my issues from the start and maybe avoided it temporarily
[07:00] <dstyrk> Jack_Sparrow:   what type of computer are you running ubuntu on?
[07:00] <Fatal`> i guess that would be the best idea
[07:00] <Zambezi> Rename folders in the terminal, how?
[07:00] <fyrestrtr> Zambezi: mv oldfolder newfolder
[07:01] <Jack_Sparrow> I used mepis for years, everything was fine, the new mepis uses ubuntu debs etc and will not run on my box but Ubuntu has been flawless... Go figure
[07:01] <Jack_Sparrow> MSI P4 3ghz sata drives
[07:01] <Fatal`> how different is the new version of ubuntu from previous ones?
[07:01] <Fatal`> cause i hear the older versions work flawlessly
[07:01] <Jack_Sparrow> 2 dell lappys and an hp4300 lappy
[07:01] <dstyrk> brb.. Going to try the new cd I burned.
[07:02] <Zambezi> fyrestrtr, I though it was mvdir. I'll try with mv.
[07:02] <skavenge> fatal`; especially with an ati video card your going to have to jump through hoops in any version
[07:02] <nix4me> i wouldnt say flawlessly, but ubuntu works very well
[07:02] <Jack_Sparrow> brb wife on the phone with the hospital and her mom...
[07:02] <LeanCalPer> I follow without having aceleraccion graphical with my ati 9250 in amd64, somebody the obtained a?
[07:02] <Ckenyon> Afternoon all
[07:02] <ajt> The IP on my server change and now when I try to mount a NFS export I get this error - "mount server reported tcp not available, falling back to udp      mount: RPC: Remote system error - No route to host" What's wrong?
[07:02] <ajt> n/m
[07:03] <fyrestrtr> LeanCalPer: have you read the wiki yet? I have acceleration on my ATI x300
[07:03] <Fatal`> i don't understand why the card being ATI effects anything
[07:03] <Fatal`> should be as easy as any other card to code a driver
[07:03] <fyrestrtr> Fatal`: because nvidia has better drivers than ATI
[07:03] <ShadowLurker> !joystick
[07:03] <ubotu> I know nothing about joystick
[07:03] <ShadowLurker> !drivers
[07:03] <ubotu> I know nothing about drivers
[07:03] <ShadowLurker> !driver
[07:03] <ubotu> I know nothing about driver
[07:03] <ShadowLurker> grr...
[07:03] <skavenge> fatal`; ati doesnt want to support linux in the least therefore the drivers are dodgy at best
[07:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Fatal it effects everything
[07:04] <ShadowLurker> can someone hel me set up my Gravis Blackhawk on Ubuntu 5.10?
[07:04] <fyrestrtr> Fatal`: if you want graphical acceleration without headaches, buy nvidia.
[07:04] <skavenge> ati, broadcom, im sure ppl in here can name some other companies than just dont mix well with linux unfortunetly
[07:04] <Ckenyon> Can someone spare me 5 minutes and take me through this:  I am installing 6.06 on a new PC - Simply need advice on ensuring that I do not wipe Windows from this machine, would like to leave 20% of the HD for it
[07:04] <Frogzoo> Fatal`: 3d on ati blows
[07:04] <LeanCalPer> if I have leido but without results, the problem is that when I give grlxinfo in the console it appears Error: couldnt get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
[07:04] <Fatal`> unfortunately, i cant throw money at the problem :/
[07:04] <tonyyarusso> !dualboot
[07:04] <ubotu> Dual boot instructions for x86/amd64 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WindowsDualBootHowTo - for mac https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
[07:05] <tonyyarusso> Ckenyon: ^^ should help.
[07:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Ckenyon:  sure...
[07:05] <snoops> Ckenyon it's best to install windows BEFORE you install ubuntu
[07:05] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  ya mean a gamepad?
[07:05] <snoops> because ubuntu installs the grub boot manager
[07:05] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: idk, it's a joystick for a computer, i guess so
[07:05] <snoops> and if you install windows after, the boot manager will be whiped, so you'll have to restore it
[07:05] <ShadowLurker> Jack_Sparrow: I got AIM to work
[07:05] <dr_willis> shad plug it in. see if a /dev/js0 or /dev/input/js0 exists
[07:05] <ShadowLurker> Jack_Sparrow: and im not sure how but...
[07:06] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: how do i do that?
[07:06] <Fatal`> so, theoretically, i'd have trouble on any linux distro because of my vid card?
[07:06] <skavenge> ubuntu correctly installed and configured my -microsoft- sidewinder usb gamepad, go figure heh
[07:06] <skavenge> fatal`; yes
[07:06] <fyrestrtr> Fatal`: yeap
[07:06] <skavenge> fatal`; it is not distro specific
[07:06] <Fatal`> ahhhhhhhh, no fun :P
[07:06] <dr_willis> ls -l /dev/js0 , ls -l /dev/input
[07:06] <snoops> skavenge ubuntu gave me better keyboard support than with windows (it's an ms keyboard)
[07:06] <Ckenyon> Many thanks
[07:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Fatal Yes, but you could use std vesa
[07:07] <skavenge> snoops; funny how that works sometimes
[07:07] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: the second one gave me a list
[07:07] <dagrump> Fatal ': i have an box w/ ati & it works very well
[07:07] <jsimmons> jack_sparrow it's froze up tighter than my ex-wife
[07:07] <ShadowLurker> Jack_Sparrow: thanks you so much
[07:07] <Fatal`> im not familiar with that
[07:07] <ShadowLurker> jsimmons: lmfao
[07:07] <Jack_Sparrow> jsimmons:  sorry to hear it..
[07:07] <fyrestrtr> Fatal`: if you don't need acceleration, then you don't have any worries. But if you do something like XGL or gaming, then you are in for some grief.
[07:07] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  and do you see a js0 in the list?
[07:07] <Fatal`> i just dual boot with windows so i can do any gaming i want in windows
[07:07] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: no, the closest is ts0
[07:08] <Fatal`> i wouldnt mind turnign off things to get ubuntu stable
[07:08] <Fatal`> just dont know how and i suck at searchign to find the solution
[07:08] <jsimmons> maybe the hard drive is simply too big?
[07:08] <diezare> joing #attack
[07:08] <fyrestrtr> Fatal`: or just get an intel mac :)
[07:08] <Frogzoo> Fatal`: what's your vid card?
[07:08] <skavenge> my intel graphics chipset on this laptop actually has 3d accel out of the box .. no gforce power mind you but it works
[07:08] <Fatal`> watch it :P
[07:08] <Fatal`> ati 9500 non pro
[07:08] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  can also check the outut of the 'dmesg' command as ya remove/plug in the device. and see if its seen. You may need to load a module for it to be seen right
[07:08] <ShadowLurker> diezare: it's /join #attack
[07:08] <Fatal`> l shaped memory, so i mod it to a 9700 in windows
[07:08] <sktx> Fatal`:  you still having those lockups? (that was you right?)
[07:08] <Fatal`> yeah
[07:09] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: so i have it in right now, so should i unplug it and while unplugging it type 'dmesg'?
[07:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Ok, I;m off the phone but lost as far as where we were...
[07:09] <Frogzoo> Fatal`: you should install the fglrx driver from the seveas repo dude
[07:09] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  try dmesg, unplug check again, plug in.. ect.. it aint going to hurt anything
[07:10] <Chetic> If an app needs gtk+ installed to be compiled, which package should I get?
[07:10] <jsimmons> can someone assist with manual partitioning?
[07:10] <Fatal`> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=423584 that what you are talking about frogzoo?
[07:10] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: how many times?  cause i need to screwdrive it in and out
[07:10] <jsimmons> maybe if I break the drive up into smaller chunks, i can get drake installed?
[07:10] <Jack_Sparrow> jsimmons:  what program do you want to use?
[07:10] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  huh? this isent a usb joystick?
[07:10] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: no, it's the kind a printer plugs into
[07:10] <Jack_Sparrow> jsimmons:  that shouldnt matter...
[07:11] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: or close to that
[07:11] <phiber_optic> I just upgraded to 6.06 and when its booting it says loading pcmia failed how can i fix thatt?
[07:11] <jsimmons> jack-sparrow forced to using software in ubuntu dexktop cd
[07:11] <Frogzoo> Chetic: apt-cache search gtk |grep dev            - choose wisely...
[07:11] <pbuchan> hey do any of you guys play WoW on ubuntu?
[07:11] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  pribnter? You sre you dont mean the old joystick/midi port?
[07:11] <pbuchan> i cant get my right mouse button to work :(
[07:11] <Chetic> ok Frogzoo, hmm...
[07:11] <Frogzoo> !wow
[07:11] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[07:11] <Frogzoo> pbuchan: wow runs fine
[07:11] <Jack_Sparrow> jsimmons:  qparted is fine
[07:11] <dr_willis> pbuchan,   thats a common cedega bug and mentioned in the cedega forums/pages
[07:11] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: im not sure, it's a GRAVIS Blackhawk
[07:11] <pbuchan> i dont use cedega i use wine
[07:11] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  that means nothing to me..
[07:12] <ShadowLurker> search google for it
[07:12] <skavenge> dr_willis: im sure its a gameport like on the back of the old soundcards etc
[07:12] <Frogzoo> pbuchan: same here
[07:12] <jsimmons> jack-sparrow and i know partition sizes shouldn'tmatter but I'm out of ideas
[07:12] <skavenge> probably
[07:12] <ShadowLurker> skavenge is correct
[07:12] <ShadowLurker> i think
[07:12] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  you proberly need to load the right modules for it. time to google for what module you need to load.
[07:12] <pbuchan> i looked at hte cedega fix and i dont know where this wine config file is
[07:12] <ShadowLurker> it plugs in the back of computer
[07:12] <Chetic> Frogzoo: is it libgtk+2.0-directfb-dev?
[07:12] <Jack_Sparrow> jsimmons:  have you tied other distros?
[07:12] <ShadowLurker> i searched
[07:12] <fyrestrtr> pbuchan: usually in ~/.wine
[07:12] <jsimmons> yeah - breezy
[07:12] <Frogzoo> Chetic: no idea
[07:12] <ShadowLurker> for driver for GRAVIS Blackhaw on linux
[07:12] <dr_willis> you could just load all the joystick modules :P
[07:12] <Chetic> argh!
[07:12] <Jack_Sparrow> jsimmons:  same result?
[07:12] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: how do i do that?
[07:12] <pbuchan> fyrestrtr, i see some files.reg type files
[07:13] <ShadowLurker> a apt-get?
[07:13] <jsimmons> no - different set of probs, but cd was burned at 48x
[07:13] <dr_willis> modprobe modulename
[07:13] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis, how do i do that?
[07:13] <phiber_optic> I just upgraded to 6.06 and when its booting it says loading pcmia failed how can i fix thatt?
[07:13] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis, do i tpe something in terminal?
[07:13] <Frogzoo> pbuchan: it's in  ///World\ of\ Warcraft/WTF/Config.wtf
[07:13] <drew3> Hi,,, What is wrong, when gparted cannot read a partition, (in this case the entire win2k drive) And it asks to a plug-in.
[07:14] <pbuchan> you add it to that file?
[07:14] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  sudo modprobe >modulename<
[07:14] <Frogzoo> pbuchan: there's settings that need to go in there - the opengl  & sound settings
[07:14] <ShadowLurker> okay
[07:14] <pbuchan> i dont have problems with that
[07:14] <rsa_> i just installed ubuntu, and when i browse my BOX from my windows laptop it asks for a login + password
[07:14] <pbuchan> i have problems with my right mouse button not working
[07:14] <rsa_> what is it?\
[07:14] <ShadowLurker> so search google for GRAVIS Blackhawk module?
[07:14] <fyrestrtr> pbuchan: read the writeup at the winehq.org site.
[07:14] <pbuchan> i cant loot or talk to people
[07:15] <dr_willis> where modulename is what you need to figure out. and the modules are in  /usr/lib/KERNELVERSION/kernel somwhere
[07:15] <fyrestrtr> rsa_: the same that you use to login to the machine
[07:15] <Jack_Sparrow> I think I am running Drake... How do I verify that?
[07:15] <Frogzoo> pbuchan: interesting - did you install wine from the repos?
[07:15] <pbuchan> i followed the ubuntu install write up and looked over the gentoo wiki and i cant get it to work
[07:15] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: can i just search google?
[07:15] <jsimmons> jack-sparrow can we go to a less noisy channel?
[07:15] <pbuchan> yeah i installed wine from add/remove programs
[07:15] <Jack_Sparrow> jsimmons: go to #Jack_Sparrow
[07:15] <ilpum> Can somebody help me? I'm unable to mount my DVD Drive.
[07:15] <ShadowLurker> jsimmons: try #UbuntuPalace
[07:16] <rsa_> fyrestrtr its not acceping that login
[07:16] <spokenbeats>  /msg nickserv set unfiltered on
[07:16] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  i advised searching google earlier.
[07:16] <Frogzoo> pbuchan: interesting..... but this works: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingWineFromSource   - if you could update the wine wiki to say that there's a problem with wow....
[07:16] <ShadowLurker> but what should i search for?
[07:16] <ShadowLurker> brb
[07:16] <Chetic> got it, thank you Frogzoo!
[07:16] <pbuchan> ok i'll try that next
[07:16] <pbuchan> thank you
[07:17] <ShadowLurker> back
[07:17] <skavenge> ShadowLurker: from what im reading on google the very basic joystick module supports the blackhawk
[07:17] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis, what should i search for?
[07:17] <Frogzoo> Chetic: nice!
[07:17] <fyrestrtr> Jack_Sparrow: cat /etc/issue
[07:17] <ShadowLurker> skavenge: what module is that?
[07:17] <MrWoo> when i boot the ubuntu live cd, it gets to the loading of the cd user and then i get a black screen
[07:17] <rsa_> When i enter the login shizzle for my linux box in networkplaces(windows) it fails to login.. where can i edit the login and such
[07:17] <Gareth> zomg hello Chetic
[07:17] <ilpum> and it doesn't even eject over the screen, what is the default path to a dvd drive?
[07:17] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks
[07:17] <RShadow> ?!? has xchat been modified under Ubuntu? I can't seem to figure out how to get tabs instead of a tree.. I know it was an option before

[07:18] <MrWoo> !video=ofonly
[07:18] <ubotu> I know nothing about video=ofonly
[07:18] <Chetic> wtf Gareth, I had no idea :D
[07:18] <ShadowLurker> skavenge: what module was it?
[07:18] <MrWoo> !ofonly
[07:18] <ubotu> I know nothing about ofonly
[07:18] <skavenge> ShadowLurker: all i see is options for manual installs, i search for 'gravis blackhawk linux installation' came up with alot of hits
[07:18] <MrWoo> !live video=ofonly
[07:18] <ubotu> I know nothing about live video=ofonly
[07:19] <ShadowLurker> skavenge: what is that module you said though

[07:19] <Ckenyon> tonyyarusso:  Um - so if I leave 10Gb for Windows, create a ext partition of 20 GB and a linux-swap of 1gb - should I be okay?
[07:19] <fyrestrtr> !samba > rsa_
[07:19] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  /kernel/drivers/input      has  joydev.ko  and a whole dir of joystick moduels for you to load up and play with
[07:20] <skavenge> ShadowLurker: look at this- http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~vojtech/joystick/
[07:20] <fyrestrtr> !tell rsa_ about samba
[07:20] <tonyyarusso> Ckenyon: Provided your used space under Windows is currently less than 10 G, yes.  It's also generally wise to run the Windows defragmenter first.
[07:20] <nomasteryoda> ag`, i'd say you should run fsck on the ipod... sounds like a fat32/16 broken chain or some file table error
[07:20] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: so i should type 'sudo modprobe joydev.ko'?
[07:20] <nomasteryoda> umount it first though
[07:20] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  for a start yes.
[07:21] <ShadowLurker> skavenge: already been there, download that, and couldnt figure it out
[07:21] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  linux tip #1 - learn to
[07:21] <Frogzoo> !anything
[07:21] <ubotu> I know nothing about anything
[07:21] <skavenge> ShadowLurker: ah i see
[07:21] <ShadowLurker> !*
[07:21] <ubotu> I know nothing about !*
[07:21] <Ckenyon> tony - Its a brand new pc - never been used - is that still necessary?
[07:21] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  linux tip #1 - learn to 'think about what you are doing' and learn whats going on. You need to find the modules and load them.
[07:21] <skavenge> apparently my sidewinder uses the same driver, but it autodetects the usb input so i dont have to touch anything
[07:21] <Ckenyon> tonyyarusso: tony - Its a brand new pc - never been used - is that still necessary?
[07:22] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: i am new to this, i dont know how to access the foler /home/
[07:22] <tonyyarusso> Ckenyon: Maybe?  Depends how dumb Windows install really is..
[07:22] <Ckenyon> Okay - Am pressing apply and crossing fingers
[07:22] <cmpalmer> anybody know who I should pester about having a newer Nagios version in Edgy?
[07:23] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  you may want to spend some time reading a few linux fundamental guides/tutorials then.     'cd  '  should take you to the home dir. :)
[07:23] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: FATAL: Module joydev.ko not found.
[07:23] <fyrestrtr> cmpalmer: the nice people at ubuntu+1
[07:23] <skavenge> cmpalmer: edgy channel is #ubuntu+1 , might start there
[07:23] <dr_willis> dont use .ko on the end
[07:23] <ShadowLurker> oh
[07:23] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: then i dont get anything
[07:24] <joel> Hello
[07:24] <joel> Guys a quick question
[07:24] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  now thinking back.. rember the dmesg command? run it again and see what it says
[07:24] <GrubChub> hmm do you have to have php5 downloaded before running sudo aptitude install php5
[07:24] <GrubChub> ?
[07:24] <skavenge> no
[07:24] <fyrestrtr> GrubChub: no, it will download and install it.
[07:24] <cmpalmer> fyrestrtr: thanks
[07:24] <cmpalmer> skavenge: thanks
[07:24] <procrastinator> my tv-card has taken over /dev/dsp and left my soundcard with /dev/dsp1 - what do i do?
[07:24] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: all i get is a bunch of Unkown key pressed/released
[07:25] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  and also check  ' ls -l /dev/input'
[07:25] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  if the js0 device shows up - then it should work.
[07:25] <GrubChub> bah! it doesn't seem to want to. I keep getting Couldn't find any package whose name or description matcher "php5"
[07:25] <philipsmith> I'm having trouble installing DAPPER on my AMD 64 machine! I downloaded the ISO to a WIn XP machine, and did a md5 check sum... and the chesksums matched. Next, I used NERO and created a bootable CD with the ISO on it. Next I inserted the CD into the AMD 64 machine (currently has SUSE 10.0 on it) and instructed it to boot from the CD. Never worked!!! The last message I got was: Starting Dr Caldera Dr-DOS. CMM386 3.27. copyri
[07:25] <philipsmith> ght (2) 1999, 1998, Caldera Inc. All rights reserved. What am I doing wrong?
[07:25] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: no, the closest i get to js0 is ts0
[07:25] <fyrestrtr> philipsmith: how did you burn it from nero?
[07:26] <joel> Sorry need some help i am trying to set up a LAMP and i cannot get root access on the terminal any idea's?
[07:26] <aunes> type: sudo su
[07:26] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  look in  /lib/modules/<YOURNUMBERSWILLVARY>/kernel/drivers/input/joystick/ and try loading those modules
[07:26] <philipsmith> fyrstartr: I burned it as a bootable CD.
[07:26] <fyrestrtr> joel: sudo apt-get install apache mod_php5 php5-cli
[07:26] <aunes> joel: sudo su      then your password in the console
[07:27] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: how do i get to those folders?
[07:27] <skavenge> GrubChub: you have universe and multiverse repos enabled?
[07:27] <philipsmith> fyrestrtr: I also, just burned it as a data disk... I didn't even get that "Dr Caldera" message that way!
[07:27] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  the 'cd' command - it may be time for you to read a bash tutorial or 2
[07:27] <fyrestrtr> philipsmith: did you expand the image, or just burn the iso file onto the cd and checked the option to make it bootable? In Nero, hit file -> open, then select 'All files' from the file type list, and click the iso file you downloaded, and then it will expand and burn the image to the CD ... making it bootable.
[07:27] <Vraid> tobler here again... so now i need to connect to the internet
[07:27] <fyrestrtr> philipsmith: you didn't burn it properly.
[07:27] <skavenge> GrubChub: because when i search for php5 it comes up right away
[07:27] <joel> cheers guys i got access
[07:27] <ShadowLurker> dude, i kno the cd command, i just dont know where to run it from, i cant find those directories in and directories i ls
[07:28] <GrubChub> I'm not sure, I'll google that to find out if I can find out :p

[07:29] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  no clue what you are even going on about. :)
[07:29] <ShadowLurker> u told me i didnt know cd
[07:29] <fyrestrtr> ShadowLurker: you don't have permissions, or the files are hidden.
[07:29] <ShadowLurker> i did
[07:29] <dr_willis> ls -l /lib/modules should show them
[07:29] <ShadowLurker> oh
[07:29] <ShadowLurker> files hidden
[07:29] <ShadowLurker> okay
[07:29] <dr_willis> they are not hidden at all.
[07:29] <skavenge> nope
[07:30] <finalbeta> Application Enemy terretory grabs the cursor. How can I leave the window without having to close it? On windows this would be the windows key.
[07:30] <ShadowLurker> now, dr_willis, which one, 2.6.12-10-368, 2.6.12-10-686, or 2.6.12-9-386?
[07:30] <fyrestrtr> finalbeta: have you tried the windows key?
[07:31] <fyrestrtr> ShadowLurker: cd `uname -r`
[07:31] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  depends on which kernel you are running at this time
[07:31] <finalbeta> fyrestrtr, yes ;)
[07:31] <ShadowLurker> 686
[07:31] <ShadowLurker> so go with the 686 one?
[07:31] <fyrestrtr> *sigh*
[07:31] <dr_willis> 2.6.12-10-686  would be my guess then

[07:32] <fyrestrtr> I <3 xgl
[07:32] <ShadowLurker> ok
[07:32] <pbuchan> hey guys apt-get source wine is pulling down an old version what could be wrong here?
[07:32] <dr_willis> as i said earlier --->  look in  /lib/modules/<YOURNUMBERSWILLVARY>/kernel/drivers/input/joystick/ and try loading those modules
[07:32] <fyrestrtr> pbuchan: old source in the repositories
[07:33] <pbuchan> how do i update that?
[07:33] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: by the command with sudo u told me to do earlier?
[07:33] <MrWoo> gnome is going haywire
[07:33] <fyrestrtr> pbuchan: just download it from winehq using cvs/svn or whatever they have.

[07:33] <pbuchan> fyrestrtr,  ok

[07:34] <nathanael> (ati mobility radeon 9000)
[07:34] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: still no js0
[07:34] <ShadowLurker> try another one?
[07:35] <skavenge> nathanael: #ubuntu-xgl is your best bet
[07:35] <MrWoo> and nautilis won't work
[07:35] <MrWoo> whats going on?
[07:35] <fyrestrtr> ShadowLurker: no, means that the module is not available for you.
[07:35] <fyrestrtr> MrWoo: was it ever working?
[07:35] <ShadowLurker> so...?
[07:35] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  back to tip #1 ;) think.. try a ls and see what module names seem to be related to gravis
[07:35] <MrWoo> no, i just finally got the live CD to work
[07:35] <MrWoo> this is the first time trying
[07:36] <dr_willis> see aht modules are there.. see if any look like gravisSOMTHING or gravSomthing and load them first.
[07:36] <fyrestrtr> MrWoo: you are trying to install, or just play with the livecd?
[07:36] <ShadowLurker> dr_willis: joydum.ko?
[07:36] <ShadowLurker> joydump.ko*
[07:36] <Zambezi> Can I check the size of a folder in the terminal?
[07:36] <MrWoo> i would like to install, but i haven't tried that yet, so far i've just been trying to get the live CD to work
[07:36] <dr_willis> could try a  'ls grav*' and see if any seem to stand out.
[07:36] <TWiSTEDSO> hello when installing ubuntu and ssh , and i want to connect via ssh outside the local lan do i need to alter anything ?
[07:37] <ShadowLurker> No such file or directory
[07:37] <titanq> twistedso: forward some ports on the router and get putty
[07:37] <fyrestrtr> TWiSTEDSO: as long as the ssh port is not blocked, you don't have to do anything else. Just ssh username@hostname.domain.com
[07:37] <ShadowLurker> can we go to #UbuntuPalace?
[07:37] <ShadowLurker> please?
[07:37] <ShadowLurker> where it isnt so crowded
[07:37] <nathanael> No luck in ubuntu-xgl
[07:37] <skavenge> i just noticed on google only the gravis blackhawk DIGITAL is supported .. if its not the digital that may be an issue as well
[07:38] <fyrestrtr> ShadowLurker: a quick google tells me you need to load joydev, analog and ns558 to get the gravis working.
[07:38] <MrWoo> fyrestrtr, i haven't tried to install it yet, although i would like to do that
[07:38] <dr_willis> fyrestrtr,  your google foo is better then mine. :P i still cant find anything not related to kernel 2.4 :)
[07:38] <fyrestrtr> aye, I have spent many years atop a hill pondering the misteries of the one they call The Google.....
[07:39] <ShadowLurker> fyrestrtr: didnt work
[07:39] <fyrestrtr> and apparently, forgot spellcheck while I was there ... mysteries
[07:39] <ShadowLurker> tried loading all thre
[07:39] <ShadowLurker> three*
[07:39] <fyrestrtr> what didn't work?
[07:39] <titanq> is there a way to install grub with the live CD, to fix my install on the HD?
[07:39] <dr_willis> ShadowLurker,  and how did you PROVE it dident work?
[07:39] <joel> fyrestrtr can i borrow you 2 seconds to help me with this lamp
[07:39] <FWO> how can you get to play windows media format things?
[07:39] <ShadowLurker> i did that same thing
[07:39] <Vraid> can anyone help me to setup an internet connection?

[07:48] <skavenge> FWO; pc's
[07:48] <joel> ahh ok
[07:48] <fyrestrtr> next thing you need to do is, enable the user homedir feature. This will allow you to create a directory under you home directory called public_html, which is accessible via http://localhost/~username/
[07:48] <skavenge> FWO; there are programs called easyubuntu and automatix that supposedly set this up for you, that might be easier
[07:49] <FWO> skavenge how do I follow this? wget -c http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[07:49] <FWO> sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[07:49] <Nezza> can anyone help me?
[07:49] <ilpum_> Many=Maybe
[07:49] <tion> well.. x crashed and when I restarted it, the mouse pointer just sticks to the right.. I have checked the xorg.conf, tried older confs, checked the mouse, tried different usb conn and so on..
[07:49] <skavenge> FWO; do you know how to open a terminal?
[07:49] <FWO> yes
[07:49] <snoops> how are you connected to the network Nezza?
[07:49] <skavenge> FWO; then just paste the first line and hit enter, then do the second
[07:49] <joel> Not Found
[07:49] <joel> The requested URL /joel/ was not found on this server.
[07:49] <joel> Apache/2.0.55 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.1.2 Server at localhost Port 80
[07:49] <FWO> ok
[07:49] <Nezza> i'm connected via a hub
[07:50] <Nezza> the physical connection is fine
[07:50] <fyrestrtr> ah that last line tells you that you have configured apache and php together correctly
[07:50] <snoops> and the hub is connected to a router?
[07:50] <ilpum_> Plz, I need to access my drive, I have to do a presentation in our university tomorrow! XS
[07:50] <Astinus> Really simple and rather stupid question; I have Xinerama configured on my nVidia 6800 graphics card, and the restricted driver is loaded fine. Everything works, except the 'primary' display which gdm / apps display onto by default is annoyingly the CRT ;) What is the easiest way to specify the other display be the primary for DE/WM purposes?
[07:50] <Nezza> yes,
[07:50] <twa1296> are there any irc for general hardware support, not ubuntu-specific (though i am an ubuntu user)?
[07:50] <pbuchan> fyrestrtr, im applying the patch as to how its said on the how too
[07:50] <Nezza> no hardware issues
[07:50] <snoops> which is connected to your net..
[07:50] <Nezza> yes
[07:50] <Nezza> other pc's with the same settings can sccess net fine
[07:50] <fyrestrtr> joel: type sudo a2enmod userdir
[07:50] <pbuchan> nevermind
[07:51] <pbuchan> ;)
[07:51] <snoops> are you using dhcp or static?
[07:51] <Nezza> on my new ubuntu box i can access web server running locally
[07:51] <Nezza> so network card is working
[07:51] <Nezza> static
[07:51] <joel> Not Found
[07:51] <joel> The requested URL /joel/ was not found on this server.
[07:51] <joel> Apache/2.0.55 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.1.2 Server at localhost Port 80
[07:51] <MrWoo> can I install ubuntu onto my harddrive from a live CD
[07:51] <skavenge> MrWoo: thats how its done
[07:51] <Nezza> was originally on dhcp
[07:51] <MrWoo> how do i got about that?
[07:51] <snoops> if you ping a known server, such as google, does it return anything Nezza?
[07:51] <Nezza> now changed everything to static, double checked all the settings
[07:51] <fyrestrtr> joel: then, type mkdir ~/public_html && cd ~/public_html && echo '<?php phpinfo(); ?>' > index.php all in one line.
[07:52] <Nezza> no
[07:52] <skavenge> mrwoo; when the live cd is booted there should be an icon that says 'install' on the desktop
[07:52] <GrubChub> woo hoo! thanks to whoever told me to enable the universal and mutliverse p :)
[07:52] <skavenge> GrubChub: got php5 then?
[07:52] <fyrestrtr> joel: then type http://localhost/~joel/index.php in firefox
[07:52] <Nezza> says the address cannot be found
[07:52] <snoops> umm, how about just the ip, so it doesn't need to check dns (that's what I'm thinking is being dodgy for you)
[07:52] <FWO> skavenge i did that and gxine opens but nothing happens
[07:52] <GrubChub> woot! yep :)
[07:52] <MrWoo> skavenge: there is nothing on my desktop, just a red screen, gnmoe said something about not starting it settings deamon
[07:52] <skavenge> FWO; try totem, you may need to install a plugin for gxine
[07:53] <aunes> how do I know if Ubuntu is using the correct drivers for my graphics card?
[07:53] <Nezza> oh, you mean ip address for external website?
[07:53] <snoops> yep Nezza
[07:53] <fyrestrtr> aunes: do you need 3d acceleration?
[07:53] <aunes> yes.
[07:53] <Nezza> err, don't know any off the top of my head, how would i find that out?
[07:53] <skavenge> MrWoo: well gnome has to be started correctly for you to see it so you have other issues going on
[07:53] <fyrestrtr> aunes: have you followed the binary drivers howto in the wiki?
[07:53] <joel> root@joel-desktop:/home/joel# mkdir ~/public_html && cd ~/public_html && echo '<?php phpinfo (); ?> '>index.php
[07:53] <joel> root@joel-desktop:~/public_html#
[07:53] <i3dmaster> how to play .flv file?
[07:53] <FWO> skavenge how do i use totem to play a vid offline...where the vid should be it is black and say "gxine browser plugin"
[07:53] <snoops> give 72.14.207.99 a go Nezza
[07:53] <debian_> is there a way to add additional menus to the panel similiar to Applications, Places, and System? Not like submenus using Alacarte, but ones that are visible directly on the gnome-panel bar
[07:54] <nyxie> i3dmaster:with VLC
[07:54] <Nezza> ok , thx, trying now
[07:54] <aunes> fyrestrtr: Didn't see them yet. I'm just trying to get WoW working. I'm going on like 7 hours working on this.
[07:54] <skavenge> FWO; alright you didnt say it was in a browser you need to install another plugin then .. you on breezy or dapper?
[07:54] <fyrestrtr> joel: now restart apache, sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[07:54] <FWO> skavenge im on breezy
[07:54] <i3dmaster> nyxie, tried. it didn't recognize the format
[07:54] <fyrestrtr> aunes: then you are not using accelerated drivers ie. 3d acceleration.
[07:54] <aunes> fyrestrtr: I can get it to load in wine, but the refresh is to slow to even login.
[07:54] <Astinus> Anyone know how to specify the primary display in a Xinerama configuration? Please... :P
[07:54] <MrWoo> skavenge: well how do i fix gnmoe
[07:54] <joel> root@joel-desktop:~/public_html# sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

[07:55] <fyrestrtr> joel: that's okay, don't paste everything here.
[07:55] <skavenge> MrWoo; never seen that problem couldnt say
[07:55] <skavenge> FWO; 1 second
[07:55] <Amaranth> debian_: nope
[07:55] <fyrestrtr> joel: http://localhost/~joel/index.php in firefox
[07:55] <debian_> Amaranth: k, thanks
[07:55] <RShadow> anybody know what package i need to install to get zlib?
[07:55] <joel> The requested URL /~joel/index.php was not found on this server.
[07:55] <joel> Apache/2.0.55 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.1.2 Server at localhost Port 80
[07:56] <MrWoo> skavenge: i thought ubuntu was supposed to be easy to set up, yet all i've had is problems with it
[07:56] <Amaranth> MrWoo: What's the problem?
[07:56] <tion> anyone got a sec now? hehe
[07:56] <MrWoo> first the cd wouldn't even boot, so i burned the iso again and then ubuntu would freeze at the loading scre
[07:56] <Nezza> no, nothing... damn
[07:57] <Nezza> so weird, all the settings are correct
[07:57] <MrWoo> amaranth, then i finally got ubuntu to boot up and gnome settings daemon couldn't start
[07:57] <Jack_Sparrow> MOst problems with any distro are due to unsupported hardware, broadcom, ati asrock mb's are just a few problem areas
[07:57] <snoops> Nezza so ping 72.14.207.99 in terminal yeilds what?
[07:57] <skavenge> MrWoo; its relative to your hardware .. i installed it and -everything- worked out of the box i dont know what to say
[07:57] <Nezza> ok
[07:57] <Amaranth> MrWoo: hrm
[07:57] <MrWoo> wait, what is this about ATI being crap?
[07:57] <Vraid> how do i set up an internet connection? =/
[07:57] <Jack_Sparrow> NOt crap, but not as well supported as nv
[07:58] <fyrestrtr> joel: ls -la /home/joel/public_html what is the owner and group of the file there?
[07:58] <skavenge> FWO; more than likely you need totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin assuming your still using the gstreamer backend
[07:58] <MrWoo> well, this particular mac I'm using has a ATI card in it
[07:58] <Nezza> says network is unreachable
[07:58] <MrWoo> dammit! now  ubuntu just locked up
[07:58] <Nezza> in terminal
[07:58] <joel> root@joel-desktop:~/public_html# ls -la /home/public_hmtl
[07:58] <joel> ls: /home/public_hmtl: No such file or directory
[07:58] <skavenge> FWO; so you could do 'sudo apt-get install totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin' in terminal to get that
[07:58] <tion> Trying to post my prob one more time:P - x crashed and when I restarted it, the mouse pointer just sticks to the right.. I have checked the xorg.conf, tried older confs, checked the mouse, tried different usb conn and so on..
[07:58] <snoops> yet if you ping the ip of the other machine in your network (the same way) what does it say?
[07:59] <FWO> skavenge im not sure i know i at least had it but, i either switch from it or to it because i wanted soemto to play divx smoothly
[07:59] <tion> anyone who knows what might have happened?
[07:59] <snoops> what kind of router are ya using Nezza?
[07:59] <fyrestrtr> tion: what did the log say? what were you doing when it crashed? are you using accelerated drivers?
[07:59] <skavenge> FWO; well if you switched to the xine back end you need totem-xine-firefox-plugin
[07:59] <tion> log for x?
[07:59] <Nezza> they reply fine, several boxes
[07:59] <fyrestrtr> yeah
[07:59] <Nezza> speedtouch
[07:59] <Nezza> 61-
[07:59] <FWO> skavenge will it mess with the divx play
[07:59] <Nezza> oops, 510#
[08:00] <JAGS-VZ> hello
[08:00] <Nezza> alcatel
[08:00] <JAGS-VZ> i need some help!
[08:00] <snoops> Nezza and that doesn't need any client tables etc.. say 'add this machine' for it to go?
[08:00] <Nezza> no
[08:00] <FWO> skavenge because before the sound was way off (by like 5 seconds) and now it works fine
[08:00] <MrWoo> why isn't ATI supported by Ubuntu
[08:00] <NKayhan> I need help with the package manager
[08:00] <gneral> i using gnome 5.10 ubuntu, and i installed kde-base, how to switch to kde ?
[08:00] <tion> couldn find anything who sticked out really.. not that good on reading logs
[08:00] <skavenge> FWO; i cant say for sure i dont think it would though
[08:00] <Nezza> ive connected loads of different devices to i
[08:00] <Jack_Sparrow> nezza alacatel is a winmodem isnt it?
[08:00] <Nezza> no
[08:01] <FWO> skavenge ok i'll try it, thanks
[08:01] <skavenge> FWO; i dont use divx personally so i dont have alot of experience there
[08:01] <Nezza> it's a seperate box
[08:01] <tion> using the fglrx driver for ati
[08:01] <mguerrac> ola
[08:01] <Nezza> router, adls modem, firewall in onw
[08:01] <Nezza> one
[08:01] <Jack_Sparrow> k'
[08:01] <tion> it has been stable for a long time, so I dont think the drivers are the problem
[08:01] <JAGS-VZ> i have a Vaio Desktop, and i need install some driver to reduce the speed of the FAN, in windows i install the driver from the cd of the sony but in ubuntu how i can install that?!
[08:01] <Nezza> i'm thinking it must be dns or gateway
[08:01] <snoops> MrWoo lots of people can get 3d accell going fine with ati cards in ubuntu.. it's just a bit harder than the nvidia option.. reason being is ati's strength is in its hardware, not software
[08:02] <mguerrac> como como congiguro el teclado ya que no me funciona
[08:02] <Nezza> but both settings are right
[08:02] <JAGS-VZ> anyone?
[08:02] <Fata1> anybody have time to help me figure out how to install xchat? rofl
[08:02] <snoops> Nezza, well hmm.. I can't put my finger on what.. I'm assuming it's a problem with stuff on the point where net comes into the network, since it isn't a dns issue (can't ping a direct ip)
[08:03] <Fata1> i dont know what to do with these rpm files
[08:03] <MrWoo> snoops, nvidia isn't an option for me right now, what do I have to do to get it to work
[08:03] <Fata1> never seen them in my life
[08:03] <skavenge> Fata1: xchat is in the repositories
[08:03] <Nezza> ok,
[08:03] <snoops> MrWoo there are guides..
[08:03] <dli> Fata1, sudo apt-get install xchat
[08:03] <Nezza> sigh
[08:03] <skavenge> what dli said heh
[08:03] <FWO> skavenge Couldn't find package totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin
[08:03] <Fata1> i'm liking this apt-get command, whatever it is :)
[08:03] <Barkley> i have a spare sun server --- linux box.  what should i do with this thing?  already have dev servers, firewall etc setup :D
[08:04] <skavenge> FWO; do you have the multiverse and universe repositories enabled?
[08:04] <tonyyarusso> Fata1: You can run 'man apt' for more info on it and its cousins.
[08:04] <FWO> skavenge i dont know
[08:04] <Fata1> ahhh yes, the manual
[08:04] <Fata1> haha, i'm loving this :)
[08:04] <snoops> Nezza, I would start ripping stuff out (hardware wise) until I can find out what's wrong.. like get rid of firewall
[08:04] <FWO> skavenge how would i go about checking that
[08:04] <skavenge> !repos
[08:04] <Fata1> we'll see if the new vid drivers have it stable or not
[08:04] <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
[08:04] <Fata1> *crosses fingers!*
[08:04] <Nezza> firewall is built into the router
[08:05] <dli> Fata1, the bueatiful thing about debian is that debian doesn't care you like it or not :)

[08:06] <JAGS-VZ> Hello...i need some help...when some can tell me!...i have a Vaio Desktop, and i need install some driver to reduce the speed of the FAN, in windows i install the driver from the cd of the sony but in ubuntu how i can install that?!
[08:06] <Fatal`> O_o
[08:06] <Fatal`> xchat is awkward
[08:06] <ilpum> My dvd-drive opens und closes well, but Ubuntu only finds it sometimes and if it doesn't I can't even mount manually. oO
[08:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Fatal have you tried Knoversation?
[08:06] <Jack_Sparrow> kon
[08:06] <snoops> Nezza, well don't know what to tell ya, strange problem, I don't see how it could possibly be a problem with ubuntu's nic support, considering you can access local machines fine.. therefore logically you'd have to find the place where it gives net to that machine
[08:06] <NKayhan> here's my problem, symaptic will not show me any of the installable packages, only the ones I all ready have installed
[08:06] <Fatal`> nah...is there an apt-get for that? ;)
[08:07] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[08:07] <dli> Nezza, can you run: sudo route
[08:07] <Jack_Sparrow> or synaptic
[08:07] <Fatal`> the only thing i'm looking for in an irc client is multiple server ability and being able to run some basic scripts like i would in mirc
[08:07] <NKayhan> and when I try to click repretorys, nothing oppens
[08:07] <HorzA-> how do i connect to phpMyAdmin after installasion?
[08:08] <Zambezi> Why doesn't printscreen works?
[08:08] <Fatal`> ewps
[08:08] <skavenge> i think if you printscreen then open the gimp and paste it may work
[08:08] <joel> Guys can i
[08:08] <skavenge> so i've heard
[08:08] <joel> Anyone got any ideas on how to install a LAMP
[08:09] <skavenge> !LAMP
[08:09] <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
[08:09] <joel> woot i love bot's
[08:09] <Fatal`> is scripting in xchat identical to mirc?
[08:09] <NKayhan> any ideas on how to fix?
[08:09] <hawkaloogie> Fatal`, no
[08:09] <Fatal`> blah...
[08:09] <Fatal`> i just want to make a basic script to connect to 8 servers and 30 channels on start
[08:09] <Fatal`> doable?
[08:09] <hawkaloogie> Fatal`, mIRC scripting is horrible. xchat uses actual programming languages
[08:09] <Fatal`> crap...lol
[08:10] <Nezza> dli: you mean just type sudo route?
[08:10] <hawkaloogie> Fatal`, that's doable without a script. look at the servers list
[08:10] <Fatal`> i know how to script in mirc... :(
[08:10] <hctibtipots> how do you install the ati drivers in ubuntu???
[08:10] <Fatal`> ahhhh
[08:10] <skavenge> !ati
[08:10] <Fatal`> i see
[08:10] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:10] <dli> Nezza, yes
[08:10] <hawkaloogie> click on "Edit" and you can auto-connect to the servers and channels
[08:10] <Fatal`> sorry for being such a newb
[08:10] <snoops> hawkaloogie for small jobs mirc scripting is good fun, and you don't need to know lots about programming to do it
[08:10] <Nezza> ok, desitination says 192.168.0.0
[08:10] <ilpum> how do you find available drives? :S
[08:10] <NKayhan> here's my problem, symaptic will not show me any of the installable packages, only the ones I all ready have installed
[08:10] <NKayhan> here's my problem, symaptic will not show me any of the installable packages, only the ones I all ready have installed
[08:11] <Nezza> which strikes me as wrong!
[08:11] <NKayhan> any ideas on how to fix?
[08:11] <hawkaloogie> Fatal`, next time: better to ask for what you want to do instead of how to do it
[08:11] <NKayhan> and when I try to click repretorys, nothing oppens
[08:11] <Nezza> genmask is set to my subnet
[08:11] <adamant1988> NKayhan, that sounds like a problem with your sources.list
[08:11] <OHPhoneGuy> Does anyone have any good ideas with the OEM installer?
[08:11] <adamant1988> have you made any changes to your repositories?
[08:11] <hawkaloogie> snoops, i've made my own fserv in mIRC scripting, it's horrible :p
[08:11] <Fatal`> for multiple channels, do i just seperate with a semi-collon
[08:11] <NKayhan> how can I fix it without being able to click on repretories
[08:11] <hawkaloogie> Fatal`, comma i think
[08:12] <snoops> hawkaloogie ah well yeah.. small things I reckon it's great for.. big things nope
[08:12] <adamant1988> NKayhan, have you altered your repos? When did this start happening?
[08:12] <OHPhoneGuy> I'm trying to automate the OEM install as much as I can....the documentation on the OEM install is scratchy, at best.
[08:12] <NKayhan> just, a couple minuits ago, and no not in a long time
[08:12] <OHPhoneGuy> Does anyone know of a good place for me to start looking (or documentating, either)
[08:12] <adamant1988> any updates? NKayhan ?
[08:13] <NKayhan> mm?
[08:13] <mukund> OHPhoneGuy: the wiki perhaps?
[08:13] <OHPhoneGuy> mukund, there's really not a lot of technical information about the OEM install on the wiki.  Even the screen shots aren't current.
[08:13] <joel> Guys what the difference beetween the server and the desktop versions of Ubuntu?
[08:13] <NKayhan> when I click on it it goes straight to this masage: Repositories changed
[08:14] <Jack_Sparrow> OHPhoneGuy:  A lot of people want to see the oter partitions mounted and sitting on the desktop like Knoppix and some other distros
[08:14] <skavenge> joel; server doesnt install a GUI for one
[08:14] <joel> skavenge
[08:14] <adamant1988> NKayhan, something had to change to prompt this reaction...
[08:14] <joel> I am having a problem with a LAMP setup
[08:14] <joel> its partially installed
[08:14] <joel> Can you give me a hand :D
[08:14] <skavenge> joel; never even tried it sorry im no help there
[08:14] <NKayhan> I'll try reinstalling synaptic
[08:14] <adamant1988> NKayhan, copy your sources list and put it in a pastebin and put it here asking for help;
[08:14] <mukund> OHPhoneGuy: oh i thought you wanted to document it
[08:14] <joel> thanks anyway skavenge
[08:15] <joel> can you install a GUI
[08:15] <joel> to the server edition?
[08:15] <OHPhoneGuy> Jack_Sparrow, I'm not disputing that at all....however, in an attempt to roll out ubuntu, I just keep bashing my head for a way to automate the install.
[08:15] <Fatal`> no freezes so far!
[08:15] <Fatal`> how do i check my systems load?
[08:15] <OHPhoneGuy> mukund, I am documenting it (but, I'd like to find more technical documentation if it's available)
[08:15] <Jack_Sparrow> I like the current install..
[08:15] <OHPhoneGuy> Jack_Sparrow, The current install is very slick...from Live CD to Installed system in six clicks....you can't beat it.
[08:15] <skavenge> fatal`' 'top' in terminal will show you load otherwise theres the system monitor
[08:16] <ernz> AaronC
[08:16] <ernz> That's MY NAME!!!
[08:16] <ernz> Sweet!
[08:16] <ernz> Anyway - Anyone know how I can stop devices just mounted from appearing on the desktop?
[08:16] <michel_> woohoo screen rez problem solved! had to remove the ati driver dapper comes with and uge fglrx
[08:16] <joel> Anyone give me a hand with a LAMP setup please, i have a project in tomorrow any need to finish the PHP coding on it. I think its all installed but i am not sure its right
[08:16] <skavenge> joel; yes you can install a gui later on if you like from the repositories
[08:17] <joel> hmm
[08:17] <FWO> skavenge it still says it cant find them
[08:17] <skavenge> FWO; did you update your repositories? sudo apt-get update
[08:19] <jeldert> did anyone ever installed subversion on Ubuntu?
[08:19] <ernz> Anybody able to assist SVP?
[08:20] <ernz> I just wan't to stop devices showing altogether on the desktop
[08:20] <OHPhoneGuy> jeldert, I believe you can get subversion from the universe repository
[08:21] <jeldert> OHPhoneGuy: I know, but I can't get it start on every boot
[08:21] <jeldert> there is no /etc/init.d/svnserver
[08:21] <skavenge> is there no way to kill the title of dvd and minutes elapsed etc from the gxine window? cant find the option anywhere
[08:21] <FWO> skavenge i just did and still nothing
[08:22] <OHPhoneGuy> jeldert, ok...let me do some quickiechecking.  What Version of Ubuntu are you running?
[08:22] <jeldert> 6.06 (server)
[08:22] <skavenge> FWO; i just tried it and it works .. all your repositories arent added or something
[08:22] <FWO> skavenge W: Couldn't stat source package list ftp://ftp.nerim.net sarge/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.nerim.net_debian-marillat_dists_sarge_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
[08:22] <FWO> W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
[08:22] <FWO> E: Couldn't find package totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin
[08:24] <ColdAngel> heya all
[08:24] <coopster> I need to be able to boot my Ubuntu without X loading, because I fubar'd my xorg.conf.  Whenever I boot 'into' X, I end up with just a non-blinking cursor on the screen.  I can type and log in, console like, but I can't see anything.  I've been trying to set this up for a few days now, and it's just one problem after another.  Can someone pls help me?
[08:25] <ColdAngel> I cant help sorry... this is the first time ive ever used linux
[08:25] <OHPhoneGuy> coopster, have you tried telling the system to INIT=4 or runlevel=3 from the grub boot prompt?
[08:25] <skavenge> FWO; and you ran sudo apt-get update and its still telling you that? your repos are not right somehow
[08:25] <ColdAngel> and im impressed :P
[08:25] <coopster> Also, I can't boot the liveCD and use that to recreate my conf, because the liveCD (and regular Ubuntu) freeze completely while trying to load the OHCI Host Interface
[08:25] <ernz> Someone please help a little prob here?
[08:25] <ColdAngel> gnome interface is quite nice
[08:25] <coopster> OHPhoneGuy:No, I was looking for a solution like that
[08:25] <dr_willis> coopster,  try alt-ctrl-f1 to get to a console?
[08:26] <OHPhoneGuy> coopster, ok :)
[08:26] <coopster> dr_willis:  No such luck.  I can type my password and log in like that, but i'm just assuming that works because I can sudo shutdown and it does, i cant actually SEE anything
[08:26] <coopster> OHPhoneGuy:  is that just a seperate command, or a boot parameter for kernel?
[08:26] <ColdAngel> lol is it normal to feel wierd like this... ive been using windows for so long... its wierd feeling
[08:27] <PMantis> Anyone know if Edgy will have Network Manager 0.6.3 ?
[08:27] <FWO> skavenge that link u gave me for the repos wasnt for breezy it talked about "software update"  and i dont have that so i went to the synaptic and went to repos and clicked each one then clicked universe then multi verse then i clicked ok
[08:27] <OHPhoneGuy> coopster, it's just an extra paramater that you apply when you see the ubuntu boot (or grub) screen.
[08:27] <skavenge> PMantis: you could ask in #ubuntu+1 , the edgy channel, i would think someone would know
[08:27] <FWO> skavenge then reload
[08:27] <FWO> then the terminal stuff
[08:27] <dr_willis> coopster,  if you cant see the console. thats a framebuffer  issue. you can disable the framebuffer by using the 'nofg' option  at the end of the kernel= line in your grub. (yiou can edit the boot line from the grub menu (hit e))
[08:27] <dr_willis> oops thats 'nofb' option
[08:27] <dr_willis> :)
[08:28] <ColdAngel> god this is wierd lol
[08:28] <coopster> dr_willis: i can see the splash screen, then as soon as it tries to load X, it all just goes to a single underscore on my monitor, and no more responses
[08:28] <PMantis> skavenge, Ahh, ok. I forgot that chanel name, and it wasn't in the topic...
[08:28] <UltraMagnus> hmm, my computer just made a bios type beep....
[08:28] <skavenge> FWO; yes, once updated retry the sudo apt-get install totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin  .. if repos are setup right it will work i tried it to make sure i was giving you good instruction
[08:28] <coopster> dr_willis: it worked before I monkeyed around with my xorg.conf
[08:29] <dr_willis> coopster,  disable all the  eye candy perhaps. try the rescue mode.  Could be some other oddity.
[08:29] <UltraMagnus> can anyone help me, i cant download updates, or any kind of packages unless i do an "nslookup gb.archive.ubuntu.com"
[08:29] <coopster> OHPhoneGuy:  so, I should just edit the 'kernel' line from grub, and then add "runlevel=3" to it?
[08:29] <mhoag> Anyone know how to get java working?
[08:30] <gneral> hi
[08:30] <gneral> how to switch: gnome -> kde ?
[08:30] <skavenge> !java
[08:30] <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
[08:30] <gneral> !kde
[08:30] <ubotu> KDE (http://kde.org) is the K Desktop Environment. To install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, or see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingKDE for other ways to get KDE
[08:30] <mhoag> thanks
[08:30] <OHPhoneGuy> coopster, it appears that ubuntu uses two different runlevels.  I would suggest adding the nofb at the end of your boot line like dr_willis suggested.
[08:30] <gneral> !gnome
[08:30] <ubotu> gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[08:31] <Adam__> my 6.06 cd doesn't work in this 1 computer - it's not the cd, it boots fine everywhere else. It's this machine, it hangs on "mounting root filesystem" - how could that be?
[08:31] <coopster> OHPhoneGuy, dr_willis:  i'll try that, thanks.  brb
[08:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Adam__: sata drives?
[08:31] <skavenge> Adam__: just to clarify how long did you wait as well? mounting the filesystem took like 10 minutes on my pc
[08:31] <mikere> gneral: once you have both kde and gnome installed you can select which one to use on your login screen (which is gdm by default I think?)
[08:31] <Adam__> hi jack - no, it's an old PIII 1Ghz, just 1 slow old ide
[08:31] <Jack_Sparrow> skavenge:  same here
[08:32] <Adam__> skavenge - 10 mins?
[08:32] <swaj> Adam__, it could take quite a while... it's a live CD
[08:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Adam__:  PAtience..
[08:32] <swaj> Adam__, just gotta wait for it
[08:32] <Adam__> f*** me - 10 minutes
[08:32] <Adam__> :-)
[08:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Adam__: at least...
[08:32] <Adam__> fair enough
[08:32] <skavenge> Adam__: yah 10 minutes for me literally .. took longer to do that then install the OS almost hah
[08:32] <Adam__> i'll try it again - thanx guys
[08:32] <_grout> how can i change the documentRoot in apache2?
[08:32] <swaj> Adam__, It's loading an OS into memory with an entire window manager
[08:32] <swaj> Adam__, such things take a while ;)
[08:32] <UltraMagnus> can anyone help me, i cant download updates, or any kind of packages unless i do an "nslookup gb.archive.ubuntu.com"
[08:33] <Adam__> yeah, fair enough
[08:33] <flodine> man dapper so good dont have nothing to fix
[08:33] <Jack_Sparrow> and uncompressing everything
[08:33] <gneral> mikere, i cant see kde on login screen
[08:33] <Adam__> there was an other thing tho
[08:33] <mikere> LIve CD is a nice way to get a bit of a feel for a distro - but on slower computers might as well just install on hard drive - much faster.
[08:33] <Adam__> it didn't load the normal menu
[08:33] <mikere> gneral: did you install kde?
[08:33] <OHPhoneGuy> !oem
[08:33] <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
[08:33] <Adam__> it went into the old style menu like from live cd 5.10
[08:33] <gneral> yep
[08:33] <gneral> i did: sudo apt-get install kde-base
[08:33] <Adam__> anyone seen a 6.06 cd do that before?
[08:33] <mikere> gneral:  hmm.... I'm gonna install it here and double check.
[08:34] <gneral> hm, thank you mikere , i will wait you
[08:35] <FWO> what is whe windows media file extension?
[08:35] <mikere> gneral: I'm installing kde instead of kde-base
[08:35] <coopster> Argh!  This is driving me nuts!  Every time that Ubuntu tries to load OHCI Host Controller support on my nForce430 based Asus motherboard, it freezes.  This affects the LiveCD, and 2 installations.  I worked around this problem (i thought) by disabling firewire on the motherboard, but now it's unexpectedly came back, and firewire is STILL disabled.  Can someone help?
[08:35] <Adam__> any1 any idea y the 6.06 cd wouldn't load it's nice looking menu and have the old style 1 appear?
[08:35] <mikere> gneral: get a *lot* more packages but covers all the bases
[08:35] <gneral> wmw or wmv ?
[08:36] <coopster> gneral:  wmv
[08:36] <FWO> thanks
[08:36] <mikere> gneral: in synaptic, look for package kde to get the full install, btw
[08:36] <gneral> now i will do mikere , really thx :)
[08:37] <gneral> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[08:37] <_grout> how can i change the documentRoot in apache2?
[08:37] <mikere> gneral: no guarantees it will fix the problem, but will ensure you have a lot of neat stuff =)
[08:37] <gneral> is that full kde ?
[08:37] <coopster> I've googled and looked in forums, all to no avail.  Has anyone else had problems with firewire support freezing the computer?
[08:37] <gneral> i using 5.10 ubuntu
[08:37] <mikere> gneral: yah, full kde
[08:38] <mikere> gneral: I updated to dapper a week or 2 ago - quite enjoying it
[08:38] <Fatal`> do i need mouse drivers to make the additional mice buttons work?
[08:38] <mikere> gneral: I'm at 132 of 383 packages downloaded, lol
[08:38] <Jack_Sparrow> coopster:  what tool are you using to manage the firewall?
[08:38] <[Surge] > !repos
[08:38] <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
[08:38] <Fatal`> rather, how can i assign operations to the buttons on mice
[08:39] <gneral> mikere, i waiting ubuntu cd's, i shipped :)
[08:39] <coopster> Jack_Sparrow:  firewall?  i don't have one, behind a wireless router.  i'm having a firewire problem, if there's been a typo somewhere
[08:39] <installing-guy> anyone here using freenx?
[08:39] <[Spooky] > dam im going crazy here... anyone have any idea how to get rid of the red line in the Xchat chat windows ?
[08:40] <mikere> gneral: right on.  I upgraded over the net this time around.
[08:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Firewall is built into the kernel from my understanding..
[08:40] <exile> Hi everyone
[08:40] <Tommy2k4> [Spooky] , prefs > interface > text box > show line marker
[08:40] <mikere> gneral: usually a bunch of us in town get together and download on install cd and burn a bunch of copies
[08:40] <dstyrk> Need some help
[08:41] <exile> I'm having a problem with my Logitech MX518 USB mouse
[08:41] <Jack_Sparrow> You can use firestarter and guarddog tools to manage it.. Those are KDE tools I think, look for Ubuntu tools
[08:41] <coopster> Jack_Sparrow: ok. then i'm using all the defaults, but i dont see the connection...
[08:41] <snoops> what problems exile?
[08:41] <[Spooky] > Tommy2k4: its off and still showing...
[08:41] <exile> It is not responding at all once X starts
[08:41] <dstyrk> Jack_Sparrow I'm back.... And in some trouble
[08:41] <snoops> ah.. did it do that in the live cd exile?
[08:41] <Fatal`> the only thing that is annoying is having to actually click the back button in firefox instead of pressing the back button on my mouse
[08:41] <Jack_Sparrow> coopster: were you running that combo unit?
[08:41] <exile> snoops: Yeah
[08:42] <Tommy2k4> [Spooky] ,  maybe its the current one still showing, hopefully it will never show again
[08:42] <coopster> Jack_Sparrow: nope, musta gotten me confused with someone else
[08:42] <snoops> exile hmm did you change your xorg.conf?
[08:42] <Jack_Sparrow> k, what is your hardware?
[08:42] <Fatal`> hmm
[08:42] <Fatal`> i have the mx518 and it's fine
[08:42] <exile> snoops: umm how can I do that? since I can't open console or anything
[08:43] <snoops> oh I'm asking if you did change it
[08:43] <coopster> Jack_Sparrow:  i have an asus A8V-MV mobo, AMD64 chip, i installed the x86 Ubuntu
[08:43] <snoops> since something in it may be missing
[08:43] <exile> no i didnt
[08:43] <snoops> have another mouse to test?
[08:43] <Jack_Sparrow> I will need to run to the Hospital when the wife calls, so want to warn you in advance that I may need to run
[08:43] <exile> it's the x64 version of dapper
[08:44] <Jack_Sparrow> coopster:  what is the nic in that machine..
[08:44] <dstyrk> How do I install the desktop from the server?
[08:44] <exile> yeah i do, ill be back on here in a couple, going to switch to my laptop so i can test it on my desktop
[08:44] <FatDwarf> could someone who has some experience in installing a vanilla kernel in dapper pm if they have time for a couple of question please
[08:45] <coopster> Jack_Sparrow:  I have no problem with the NIC or network access, I'm having an issue where Ubuntu will not boot at all, it hangs when trying to load OHCI_HCD at the very beginning of the boot process
[08:45] <Jack_Sparrow> So sorry..
[08:46] <mikere> gneral: installing packages now, lol
[08:46] <dstyrk> I am a little closer to having ubuntu running... Need some help
[08:47] <coopster> Argh!  This is driving me nuts!  Every time that Ubuntu tries to load OHCI Host Controller support on my nForce430 based Asus motherboard, it freezes.  This affects the LiveCD, and 2 installations.  I worked around this problem (i thought) by disabling firewire on the motherboard, but now it's unexpectedly came back, and firewire is STILL disabled.  Can someone help?
[08:48] <gneral> mikere, :)
[08:48] <dstyrk> I couldn't get the liveCD to boot... Someone a couple of days ago suggested to download the server ISO burn that, install it and then install ubuntu from there.. Well I have the server installed and sitting infront of me but i have no clue what to do.  Can someone help?
[08:49] <Jack_Sparrow> coopster:  Have you tried turning off your usb ports in bios?
[08:49] <coopster> Jack_Sparrow:  No, I have a USB mouse so I've been avoiding that
[08:49] <OHPhoneGuy> dstyrk, Are you trying to install the desktop version of ubuntu, or the server version?
[08:50] <coopster> Turning off the firewire port worked for a little bit, but the problem came back for apparently no reason
[08:50] <Jack_Sparrow> coopster: It is worth a try just to see. Or limit your usb to 1.0 and not 2.0+
[08:50] <FatDwarf> could someone explain how to get usplash to work after installing a vanilla kernel... all i get is the black screen until the login screen comes up unless i tell grub "nosplash" then all i get is text which is expected
[08:50] <Jack_Sparrow> coopster: Sorry but that is my only guess for now
[08:50] <dstyrk> OHPhoneGuy; the desktop is my overall goal.. I believe I have the server installed as of now... I am stuck at a screen that says ubuntu login:
[08:51] <Vraid> where do i open the terminal?
[08:51] <OHPhoneGuy> yes....you've got the server installed, which really wasn't what you were trying to do.
[08:52] <OHPhoneGuy> dstyrk, if the desktop/live CD didn't work for you, I would point you to the "Alternative Install CD" and use that one.  It has the older, text-based installer that will set up the desktop system on your computer.
[08:52] <dstyrk> OHPhoneGuy: Nope... But I couldn't get the LiveCD to boot, and someone a couple of days ago suggested to install the server and then I would be able to grab the desktop from there.. True?
[08:52] <alef-null> coopster: you could try to disable the firewire driver by blacklisting it. see man modprobe.d
[08:54] <Jack_Sparrow> coopster: Next time you have it turned off I would try to disable the usb and boot even if you dont have a mouse to see how far it gets
[08:54] <exile> snoops?
[08:54] <dstyrk> OHPhoneGuy: My LiveCD starts to boot, then the screen "resets" stays blank and I hear some sound.. Then nothing.
[08:54] <RQ> guys
[08:54] <RQ> there is new Skype beta on skype website! :)
[08:54] <coopster> Jack_Sparrow: trying now..
[08:55] <PMantis> Hmmmm, GFS or GNBD ?
[08:55] <Jack_Sparrow> coopster: I'm very curious about that..
[08:55] <exile> snoops: I tried another mouse(PS2 instead of USB), and same thing happened
[08:55] <OHPhoneGuy> dstyrk, That sounds like a framebuffer/x server issue.  My best guess is to have you try the alternative Install CD...it's text-based (and you can turn off the framebuffer when installing if it's causing problems for you)
[08:55] <hctibtipots> how doyou install java???
[08:56] <Patrick_> hey all
[08:56] <RQ> hctibtipots, apt-cache search sun java5
[08:56] <RQ> apt-get install packages you want
[08:56] <RQ> hi Patrick_
[08:56] <Patrick_> does anyone know how I can make it so I can transfer files from my windows computer to my ubuntu laptop?
[08:56] <Patrick_> I don't have a router
[08:56] <Patrick_> its just a LAN cable
[08:57] <Patrick_> my laptop gets internet through my desktop
[08:57] <Patrick_> (so they're communicating alright)
[08:57] <exile> Patrick, do yo know what FTP is?
[08:57] <Patrick_> file trasnfer protocal
[08:57] <Patrick_> transfer*
[08:58] <exile> Patrick: try setting up an FTP server either on your laptop or desktop to transfer files, or set up a Samba share
[08:58] <RQ> Patrick_, just share a folder from ubuntu
[08:59] <Fatal`> yay, ubuntu just passed the screen saver test
[08:59] <Fatal`> :)
[08:59] <coopster> Jack_Sparrow:  worked.  it got past the OHCI loading part
[08:59] <exile> Fatal
[08:59] <Jack_Sparrow> coopster: Did anything change
[08:59] <Jack_Sparrow> cool
[08:59] <coopster> Jack_Sparrow:  Any clue how to get the appropriate drivers/something to get that to work?
[08:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Ok, so I would try a different mouse..?
[08:59] <coopster> Jack_Sparrow:  I turned off 2.0 support, my 1.1 mouse actually still works
[09:00] <Jack_Sparrow> AH
[09:00] <exile> Fatal: can you help me with something?
[09:00] <ukh> should a package really have a different Priority depending on it's architecture?
[09:00] <mikere> gneral: gonna log out and back in and see if kde is an option now
[09:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Like I said it was just an educated guess
[09:00] <Fatal`> doubtu, im the biggest linux beginner here
[09:00] <ukh> s/it's/its/
[09:00] <Fatal`> but what's up?
[09:00] <exile> oh hah
[09:00] <exile> cause you said you got the MX518 working
[09:00] <Fatal`> it worked from the start
[09:00] <Fatal`> i386, though
[09:01] <Adam__> Jack - you were right about waiting for the livecd to mount root - it did eventually
[09:01] <exile> maybe i'll try the 32 bit version
[09:01] <Jack_Sparrow> coopster: NOt sure how to get you usb 2 back, but at least you now know where the problem is and have a working Ubuntu system
[09:01] <GrubChub> bah

[09:01] <hctibtipots> what is the command to install java???
[09:01] <somoene5> how do you use apt-get to uninstall something?
[09:02] <GrubChub> sudo apt-get remove
[09:02] <Adam__> my live cd doesn't seem to load because of a hda1 hardware error - is there a way around this?
[09:02] <GrubChub> I'm sure
[09:02] <hawkaloogie> hctibtipots, i've been told it's best to get Sun's version from java.com
[09:02] <GrubChub> I think :-|
[09:02] <RQ> somoene5, apt-get remove
[09:02] <somoene5> ty

[09:05] <pussman> sun java rocks lol
[09:05] <mikere> gneral: on your login screen you should have a "session" or an "options" button.  Clicking them should give you option to select a wm when you log in
[09:05] <hawkaloogie> oh bloody hell ubuntu's got packages for sun's linux java now
[09:05] <gneral> ow
[09:05] <gneral> options button

[09:09] <hctibtipots> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[09:09] <lophyte> hctibtipots: do you have synaptic open?

[09:09] <hctibtipots> yeah
[09:09] <lophyte> close it ;)
[09:10] <efox> if i were to get apache, should i get apache or apache 2 ?
[09:10] <efox> im just looking to upload my files and get them again where ever i am...would apache do that ?
[09:10] <lophyte> efox: you can do that with ftp if you really wanted to
[09:11] <lophyte> efox: but if you just want a place to store files, either one will work
[09:11] <fyrestrtr> efox: ftp or scp
[09:11] <efox> ive heard of scp
[09:11] <pussman> OH no he slime me.
[09:11] <notrash> efox: scp is the way
[09:11] <efox> however, would i have to retrieve it from another linux box ?
[09:11] <efox> i want the freedom of gettin it from any OS
[09:11] <hctibtipots> Lophyte:still didnt update to 5, it is stil v1.4.2
[09:11] <lophyte> efox: nope, you can download an scp client for windows
[09:12] <lophyte> hctibtipots: k, one sec.. there's another command but I can't remember what it was
[09:12] <efox> oh ic...so a client is nessesarry...hm...
[09:12] <fyrestrtr> a good, free scp client for Windows is winscp
[09:12] <hctibtipots> Lophyte:thtas the on im tryin to remember...summin alternative update
[09:12] <joel> yay fry you are back
[09:12] <GrubChub> yay!
[09:12] <notrash> efox: scp is also more secure than ftp
[09:13] <GrubChub> now php is working :)
[09:13] <joel> fry i checked the owner of that file
[09:13] <joel> and it didnt exist
[09:13] <efox> my files arent top secret..but if i do need too, i will use scp, but for simplicity and the freedom i think ftp will work for now
[09:13] <efox> and ive dual booted both desktop and laptop with dapper, so...
[09:14] <efox> ok, thanks for the inf
[09:14] <efox> info
[09:14] <lophyte> hctibtipots: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[09:14] <fyrestrtr> joel: it didn't exist? Anyway -- what you have to do is, as your *normal* user, create ~/public_html and in it create any file -- and you can browse to it using http://localhost/~username/filename.ext
[09:14] <joel> any idea how to get PHP my admin running?
[09:14] <hctibtipots> there we go thanx again lophyte
[09:15] <lophyte> hctibtipots: no prob :)
[09:15] <GrubChub> sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
[09:15] <hctibtipots> this tyme im writin it down
[09:15] <lophyte> lol
[09:15] <hctibtipots> now only if i could get winrar installed
[09:15] <tylersmith> Hi! I just installed Dapper... looks great! I wanna install RealPlayer now. Is there an easy way of doing this?

[09:16] <FantasticFoo> anybody know how i can install ubuntu on my intel imac?
[09:17] <joel> it says php my admin is the latest version
[09:17] <joel> any idea how i can pull it up?
[09:17] <fyrestrtr> http://localhost/phpmyadmin would be a good bet.
[09:17] <gatekeeper> tylersmith: there are 2 or 3 ways
[09:18] <GrubChub> probably something like http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ Joel
[09:18] <tylersmith> Gatekeeper: please tell me more!
[09:18] <pussman> Anyone have wine installed and using windows apps successfully? I wish to know for if so I am going to take the plunge. I think it best to ask first then go ahead with it. Also I would like to know if running wine works better than apps like crossover that do not work so good.
[09:19] <joel> Guys you rock
[09:19] <joel> !
[09:19] <hawkaloogie> pussman, far better still to find alternatives
[09:19] <GrubChub> did that work?
[09:19] <joel> yeh
[09:19] <gatekeeper> tylersmith: hang on while I find what I am looking for
[09:19] <GrubChub> woot! :)
[09:19] <fyrestrtr> pussman: I have ran some programs with wine (like fireworks and games like WoW) but that was just for personal experimentation
[09:19] <skavenge> crossover works better than wine for business apps, as cedega works better for games than wine .. most the time
[09:19] <skavenge> ppl dont like to pay though heh
[09:20] <lophyte> you don't necessarily have to pay for cedega..
[09:20] <GrubChub> Mysql is taking foreever to install
[09:20] <lophyte> their cvs repo is open and free as far as I know
[09:20] <lophyte> if you're up for compiling it yourself
[09:20] <skavenge> the free cedega is ancient .. and much more headaches than the pay version
[09:20] <lophyte> ah
[09:21] <intelligi> Ubuntu rocks.
[09:21] <pussman> Yeah the only app that I see that crossover runs half ass is microsoft office. Still many bugs in it. So I just went through the pain of learning openoffice.
[09:21] <intelligi> I only use the Word processor, and it feels just like Microsoft Word. Even looks better.
[09:21] <pussman> Either way thanks for the info folks. That will save me a lot of time and heartache.
[09:22] <B_rat> any idea how to mount an ntfs partition ? and how to clean it of windows viruses ?
[09:22] <skavenge> especially if your dual booting i see wine as being pretty pointless, ive found linux ways to deal with my needs
[09:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Kwork is smaller faster easier.. if running kde
[09:22] <joel> whats the directory for putting file in that you want hosted?
[09:22] <gatekeeper> tylersmith: here we go do this:
[09:22] <gatekeeper> tylersmith:
[09:22] <gatekeeper>     wget -c http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/r/realplay/realplayer_10.0.7-0.0_i386.deb
[09:22] <gatekeeper>     sudo dpkg -i realplayer_10.0.7-0.0_i386.deb
[09:22] <gatekeeper> Note created Jun 22, 2006
[09:23] <gatekeeper> tylersmith: do you want me to put this in paste bin
[09:24] <fyrestrtr> B_rat: install clamav, then mount the drive and let it run through it.
[09:25] <tylersmith> gatekeeper: Thanks for your advice! I'm doing th wget now. I'm not sure what "paste bin" is.
[09:25] <hou5ton> I'm going to try another Ubuntu install ... last time it needed some manual disk partitioning on this dual boot / dual hard drive system ... does it get three partitions: boot, swap, and root?
[09:25] <B_rat> im running from a live version of ubuntu fyrestrtr
[09:25] <Jack_Sparrow> hou5ton: yes
[09:26] <Jack_Sparrow> hou5ton: an extra fat32 can also be usefu;
[09:26] <fyrestrtr> B_rat: what do you mean 'live' version? livecd?
[09:26] <B_rat> yep
[09:26] <gatekeeper> tylersmith: command lines are in: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17030
[09:26] <fyrestrtr> oh, don't think that's possible then.
[09:26] <hou5ton> Jack_Sparrow: interesting .... I didn't realize I could do that at the same time
[09:27] <B_rat> safest thing to do now would be to delete and reinstall windows ?
[09:27] <ompaul> hou5ton, good idea - what sizes were you thinking and how much ram have you got
[09:27] <Jack_Sparrow> I use fat32 to share files with XP
[09:27] <horacio> hello
[09:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Music pics and such
[09:27] <hou5ton> Jack_Sparrow: what linux file types should I use.  I have 2GB of ram and I'll allocate 30GB of one hd to Ubuntu
[09:27] <horacio> how i cant go to a spanish room??
[09:27] <tylersmith> gatekeeper: I did that sudo thing and got an error message... "package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)"
[09:27] <horacio> how i cant go to a spanish room??
[09:28] <Jack_Sparrow> hou5ton: default ext2 or 3
[09:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !es
[09:28] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[09:28] <hou5ton> Jack_Sparrow: for root too?
[09:28] <horacio> y donde pongo eso?
[09:28] <B_rat> hmm.. how can i move files from one ntfs partition to the other ? (and how to mount them)
[09:28] <horacio> #ubuntu.es
[09:28] <Jack_Sparrow> hou5ton: just let it default..
[09:28] <somoene5> okay i'm back, who had trouble booting x
[09:28] <horacio> ubotu??
[09:29] <ubotu> I know nothing about ubotu??
[09:29] <ompaul>  /join #ubuntu-es
[09:29] <fyrestrtr> B_rat: easiest and most reliable way, stick the drive in an existing windows xp system.
[09:29] <ompaul> horacio, that is the channel bot
[09:29] <somoene5> and i was able to access the log
[09:29] <hou5ton> Jack_Sparrow: ok ... from what I've read ... how about 100MB for boot, and 1500 MB for Swap?
[09:29] <Jack_Sparrow> B_rat: I like the script Diskmounter... but I dont write to NTFS
[09:29] <gatekeeper> tylersmith: didn't realize you where using Amd64
[09:29] <somoene5> and i found a few errors
[09:30] <J_P> hi all
[09:30] <B_rat> hmm.. ok, thanks fyrestrtr
[09:30] <tylersmith> gatekeeper: I appologize. Is it still possible to install RealPlayer?
[09:30] <somoene5> but at the end it says AUDIT: Sun Jul 2 09:31:45 2006: 4288 X: client 1 rejected from local host
[09:30] <aunes> I hate this feeling of being inept at an operating system
[09:30] <Jack_Sparrow> My swap is 100 meg
[09:30] <aunes> I've literally been trying to get my applications installed for around 9 hours now.
[09:31] <userundefine> aunes, what applications?
[09:31] <somoene5> http://www.real.com/linux
[09:31] <aunes> userundefine: first wine, now WoW
[09:31] <userundefine> aunes, ah, when it comes to games all bets are off.
[09:32] <gatekeeper> tylersmith: have you seen this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=21678
[09:32] <aunes> userundefine: So true, So true. In truth, that's the only thing keeping me back from linux, the lack of WoW
[09:32] <joel> fry one last question
[09:32] <joel> what was that directory again?
[09:32] <gatekeeper> tylersmith: possible not
[09:32] <somoene5> near the end of Xlog it says "AUDIT: Sun Jul 2 09:31:45 2006: 4288 X: client 1 rejected from local host"
[09:33] <kalosaurusrex> anyone have any experience with getting cpu fan to work on breezy?  I've been researching it but nothing really helpful..
[09:33] <bina> Are most DVD burners supported under Linux (sony in particular)?
[09:33] <somoene5> is that a bad thing and what could cause it?
[09:33] <gatekeeper> tylersmith: I thought that your Amd64 would run 32 bit stuff but may be there is more to this than meets the eye not really sure
[09:34] <skavenge> lets install a non windows operating system so as soon as its rolling we try and install windows games/applications over the top .. i really dont understand, then people are mad programs dont run at the native speed windows runs them .. anyway </rant>
[09:34] <johlin> name a good c++ editor that is easy to merge with gcc and is in the respositories
[09:34] <tylersmith> gatekeeper: Ok. thank you!
[09:34] <userundefine> aunes, I've never tried, but you might want to check the transgaming forum (http://transgaming.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=51) and wiki (http://cedegawiki.sweetleafstudios.com/wiki/World_of_Warcraft) if you haven't.
[09:35] <mikere> johlin: for c++ editing I'd just use vi - or perhaps eclipse
[09:35] <[Spooky] > Tommy2k4: thanks for the info regarding the marker ;)
[09:35] <Tommy2k4> np
[09:35] <Tommy2k4> bit of a delayed reply lol

[09:35] <userundefine> hi
[09:35] <gatekeeper> tylersmith: looks like there is a work around
[09:35] <johlin> mikere: But those aren't like visual studio for example (that I use when I'm in windows), that you press f7 and boom...it compiles. I want it that simple.
[09:35] <ubuntu> When installing Ubuntu-Desktop, can you not change the mount point for the partitions? Using the GUI?
[09:35] <kalosaurusrex> please don't let the next thing be can I ask a question..
[09:35] <aunes> userundefine: not something I'm really interested in buying as I already pay $15/month just for the game.
[09:36] <hawkaloogie> aunes, more appropriately, they're trying to sell a fork of wine
[09:36] <johlin> ubuntu
[09:36] <mikere> johlin: eclipse is what you want then
[09:36] <johlin> oops
[09:36] <johlin> okay mikere
[09:36] <aunes> hawkaloogie: just like crossover office, really.
[09:36] <PM^> does anybody know how I could share a tv tunner card on a network ?
[09:36] <mikere> johlin: I use it for java but it can do c++ as well
[09:36] <aunes> hawkaloogie: different userbase, same idea
[09:36] <userundefine> aunes, yes, Transgaming puts out Cedega which is a subscription-based product, but you can compile it from cvs although it lacks some things of the actual product (mainly a frontend GUI).  But from what I've heard WINE has gotten so good cedega isn't really necessary
[09:37] <notrash> pm^: know vlc ?
[09:37] <p47> hey, where can I get synaptic ? my apt doesn't found the pakage !
[09:37] <mukund> johlin: gvim or nedit should serve well for simple GUI C++ editors. i like nedit's always-on search (just like firefox)
[09:37] <johlin> mikere: it eats 135mb of disk space if I install it with apt-get, is there something that doesn't use that much?
[09:37] <apollo2011> How do I listen to mp3s in Amarok on Dapper? There is no package listed in the Restricted Formats Wiki page for amarok under Dapper and I can't play mp3s in amarok right now...
[09:37] <aunes> userundefine: I think once I get it installed (currently copying over the cds to HDD) I might get it to work.
[09:37] <johlin> thanks mukund
[09:37] <userundefine> p47, in your System > Administration > Synaptic menu
[09:37] <Jack_Sparrow> p47 click on applications..add... advanced
[09:37] <skavenge> apollo2011: look under mp3 not amarok on the restricted page
[09:37] <PM^> notrash: yes, i do; i was thining though if there was a generic way to share devices
[09:38] <Jack_Sparrow> userundefine: Never saw that thanks
[09:38] <ag`> Does anyone know  if there is a deb package with the standard ubuntu kernel just without EFI support compiled in(it breaks ipods)?
[09:38] <userundefine> Jack_Sparrow, np
[09:38] <johlin> mukund: does nedit compile the project when I tell it to? or do I still need to gcc from commandline?
[09:38] <p47> yes but I was unistall, because synaptic gave me some problems now I want to reinstall but apt coudn't find !
[09:38] <hawkaloogie> ag`, standard ubuntu kernel breaks ipods? why does mine work then?
[09:38] <skavenge> my ipod works fine with the standard kernel
[09:38] <apollo2011> skavenge: I searched the page for both. Amarok only has a plugin package listed under Breezy, and that one didn't help, nothing listed under Dapper for Amarok under MP3
[09:39] <mukund> johlin: it's got a Shell window and you can run macros from there.. it's customizable
[09:39] <johlin> nice
[09:39] <ag`> hawkaloogie: It probably doesn't happen for everyone, let me dig up the bug report
[09:39] <hawkaloogie> my own stupidity broke it when I decided i could physically trash everything on it using nautilus
[09:39] <skavenge> apollo2011: once you install the codec any player should be able to play them
[09:39] <notrash> pm^: didnt know anything about that, sorry
[09:39] <mukund> johlin: it's a very old editor.. uses motif, but it's very good
[09:39] <yves> Hi guys.
[09:39] <gioacchino> hrllo
[09:39] <gioacchino> how to install the complete bases pacages ( gcc kedit ecc ecc... )  ?
[09:40] <n001> Hey, this is my first time on IRC !  any tips?
[09:40] <mukund> its 1:1 gtk alternative is gedit, but gedit doesn't have the always-on search bar facility... there was a bug open for it, but i don't know what happened of it
[09:40] <DK-> hi
[09:40] <Jack_Sparrow> n001... Listen
[09:40] <n001> K
[09:40] <Fatal`> try not to get angry at sparrow and his excessive use of periods
[09:40] <Fatal`> it angers everybody.
[09:41] <yves> Got a prob. Am using Breezy and got a prob with my ADSL connection. It just wont reconnect on reboot.  I used the pppoeconf tool to configure and I did "yes" on "Connect at boot time". Any clue? Please advise.
[09:41] <Jack_Sparrow> fata... Just you...
[09:41] <Fatal`> im weird :)
[09:41] <Jack_Sparrow> n001, did you have a question.. If so just ask
[09:41] <gioacchino> how to install the complete bases pacages ( gcc kedit ecc ecc... )  ?
[09:41] <apollo2011> skavenge: I found it...I must be going blind...
[09:42] <kalosaurusrex> Jack_Sparrow:  once again -- my hero!!!!!!!!!!!!
[09:42] <skavenge> anyway to clear the info off a dvd in gxine? time elapsed, name of dvd etc?
[09:42] <Jack_Sparrow> kalosaurusrex: what did I do this time
[09:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Oh and ...
[09:43] <skavenge> boy thats annoying all this nonsense info in the bottom black widescreen box
[09:43] <aunes> preferred linux irc client?? I'm using xchat and join/part messages are driving me crazy (and conference mode won't work)
[09:43] <p47> can somebody give me your sources.list file ?
[09:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Using Konversation here.
[09:43] <skavenge> EPIC
[09:43] <hawkaloogie> ag`, so this bug only affects IA64 processors?
[09:43] <gatekeeper> gioacchino: do you know how to use your pacakage manager?
[09:43] <hawkaloogie> ag`, i'm sure that ubuntu has kernel sources.
[09:43] <kalosaurusrex> jack: hehe it's a surprise. :)  the just ask already.
[09:44] <ag`> hawkaloogie: No, I am using an athlonXP
[09:44] <dreamcatcher5172> this automatix script is awsome...saved me loads of time
[09:44] <gioacchino> [21:43]  <gatekeeper> gioacchino: do you know how to use your pacakage manager? no and I prefer use the shell ...
[09:44] <yves> .
[09:44] <ag`> anyway my problem is that my ipod keeps getting disconnected, so I can't use it for longer periods of time
[09:45] <gatekeeper> gioacchino: ok use sudo apt-get install <package name>
[09:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Ag You might consider trying to change your cmos/bios to use usb1.1 and not 2.0 and see if it stays connected?
[09:45] <Jack_Sparrow> FYI Ipod works here too
[09:46] <yves> Got a prob. Am using Breezy and got a prob with my ADSL connection. It just wont reconnect on reboot.  I used the pppoeconf tool to configure and I did "yes" on "Connect at boot time". Any clue? Please advise.
[09:46] <finalbeta> can I get surround sound in rhythmbox?
[09:46] <n001> Jack_Sparrow - no, I didn't have any questions.  I'm just excited about finally getting on IRC.  I'm gunna have a whole lotta questions once I get used to it :)
[09:46] <finalbeta> Not using rear boxes
[09:46] <UltraMagnus> hi, i need help with an error i am getting, when i try to load up windows xp (hope) through grub i get an error 29 "disk write error"
[09:46] <ag`> Jack_Sparrow: sure I could try that, USB2 should be working though, 1.1 is pretty slow :) I can't get it to mount over firewire at all
[09:46] <UltraMagnus> s/hope/home
[09:47] <Jack_Sparrow> n001: welcome... Just try to ask well thought out questions, not ones like How do I use Ubuntu, or how high is up?
[09:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Ag'I only mention that because we had that issue with usb2 this morning and backing it down fixed it..  It is a shot in the dark though
[09:48] <Patrick_> hey all

[09:50] <Patrick_> jacobian_ no
[09:51] <wweasel> Hey everybody, I have a problem that is rather serious. I can't boot up into Linux, and after a few steps I found out that my superblock is corrupt. Can I recover/resurrect it?
[09:51] <niki> jacobian_, i just plugged in my card and it automatically connected
[09:51] <Patrick_> the setup is pretty straightfoward
[09:51] <jacobian_> I'm having a weird problem
[09:51] <jacobian_> my wireless router sees my wireless card
[09:51] <jacobian_> and even *thinks* that it is assigning it an IP
[09:52] <jacobian_> but ifconfig never reports the device as having an IP address
[09:52] <procrastinator> how do I switch /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1?
[09:52] <miguelsr> some one know how to get to the k3b menu editor
[09:52] <niki> jacobian_, are you sure your card is supported?
[09:53] <heikki90junnu> terve
[09:53] <Patrick_> ok so, has anyone here had a problem with samba prompting you for a user name and password on the windows computer and samba never allowed you to set one?
[09:53] <skavenge> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76647 explains samba setup and the need to ADD a user for it .. first hit on google

[09:54] <Patrick_> skavenge, I do, 407 posts :D
[09:54] <B-rat> any clues ?
[09:54] <Patrick_> I figured this would be a fast answer so, I decided to ask here first :)
[09:54] <jacobian_> niki no, but everthing seems to work
[09:54] <bcoop_> Ok, I have ubuntu set up with an nvidia card and TwinView.  My problem is that I want the monitors switched, right now X picks up my crappy LCD as the primary and the good LCD as the secondary. even physically switching the plugs in the back does not change this, has anyone had thsi problem?
[09:54] <MalMen> goods
[09:54] <jacobian_> the router even gets the DHCP request packets
[09:54] <MalMen> deb http://www.beerorkid.com/compiz/ dapper main
[09:54] <MalMen> deb http://xgl.compiz.info/ dapper main
[09:54] <MalMen> how can i add it to reposits =?
[09:55] <skavenge> ppl tend not to answer extemely simple questions though, hence your lack of a  response from anyone at first
[09:55] <userundefine> MalMen, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:55] <procrastinator> wweasel:run fsck.
[09:55] <MalMen> tks
[09:55] <fabio__> i have a question, the resolution of the "login screen" used by my ubuntu is NOT supported by my monitor, so it's dangerous to use it since my monitor can fail.. Where can I set the screen resolution of the "login screen" ? thank you very much.
[09:55] <niki> I have an external USB drive that's formatted from windows...i want to reformat it for linux.  how would i go about this?
[09:55] <wweasel> procrastinator: I did. That's what told me my superblock is corrupt.
[09:56] <miguelsr> some one know how to get to the k3b menu editor
[09:56] <kalosaurusrex> niki, I'd suggest use gparted..
[09:57] <kalosaurusrex> !info gparted
[09:57] <finalbeta> can I get surround sound in rhythmbox?
[09:57] <ubotu> gparted: partition editor for GNOME. In repository main, is optional. Version 0.1-0ubuntu9 (dapper), package size 232 kB, installed size 1280 kB
[09:57] <justinlilly> so I just downloaded konversation.. any ideas how to get the channel listing on the side?
[09:57] <niki> kalosaurusrex, awesome, getting it now...thanks :)
[09:57] <justinlilly> I can't actually see what any of my channels are b/c I have so many open.
[09:57] <kalosaurusrex> np
[09:58] <wweasel> Does anyone here know how I could go about recovering/resurrecting a corrupt superblock?

[09:59] <miguelsr> some one know how to get to the k3b menu editor
[09:59] <finalbeta> can I get surround sound in rhythmbox?
[09:59] <fabio__> does someone know how to change the screen-resolution of the ubuntu login screen? thank you.
[09:59] <skavenge> 'k3b menu editor'? never heard of it, what menus would k3b be editing?
[09:59] <bcoop_> jongoldsz3, google can tell you
[09:59] <jongoldsz3> I tried that
[10:00] <donpaolo> Hi guys! What is the /usplash_fifo archive I have in my ubuntu dapper install? thank you!
[10:00] <iLLf8d> anyone know where I can find some ubuntu logoed socks?
[10:00] <niki> kalosaurusrex, my external drive does not show up as a partition in gparted...
[10:00] <aunes> iLLf8d: google: custome embroidery
[10:00] <niki> iLLf8d, there's an ubuntu store....it has an ubuntu thong
[10:00] <bcoop_> jongoldsz3, man wpagui
[10:00] <jongoldsz3> ok
[10:00] <jongoldsz3> thanks
[10:01] <jongoldsz3> there is no entry
[10:01] <iLLf8d> niki, I know it binds up a bit too
[10:01] <bcoop_> jongoldsz3, sure you have it installed?
[10:01] <jongoldsz3> yea
[10:01] <jongoldsz3> I used the synaptic package installer
[10:01] <niki> do you have to unmount a partition before you can fromat it?
[10:02] <niki> *format
[10:02] <bcoop_> jongoldsz3, tried wpa_supplicant ?
[10:02] <jongoldsz3> yea
[10:02] <kalosaurusrex> niki oh hmm...
[10:02] <niki> kalosaurusrex, i see it now
[10:02] <kalosaurusrex> horray!
[10:02] <jongoldsz3> though I have no clue on how to use it
[10:02] <kalosaurusrex> what's this about a thong?
[10:02] <niki> kalosaurusrex, but i can't format it...its grayed out...i can unmount, though
[10:02] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[10:02] <niki> kalosaurusrex, the ubuntu store totally sells an ubuntu thong
[10:02] <wweasel> Does anyone here know how I could go about recovering/resurrecting a corrupt superblock? (in ext3)
[10:03] <iLLf8d> kalosaurusrex, they're edible
[10:03] <kalosaurusrex> niki damn.  I need to get a gf that likes linux...
[10:03] <bcoop_> I'm using nVidia TwinView, only X is picking up the 'wrong' monitor as my primary monitor.  How do I control which monitor gets set to be the Primary, and which one is the secondary?  I've tried physically plugging them into the other ports, that does not change anything
[10:03] <Vraid> I'm trying to set up my internet connection: I entered 'sudo ifup eth0' in the terminal, it discovered various DHCPs on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 on port 67, AND it recieved a DHCPOFFER from 192.168.0.1
[10:03] <Vraid> but when it's finished it says "No DHCPOFFERS recieved"
[10:03] <niki> which filesystem is it that windows _and_ linux can read and write to?
[10:04] <skavenge> niki; fat32
[10:04] <niki> skavenge, thanks :)
[10:04] <jajaja-> hey guys, my resolution for text/graphics looks fine, but when I try to watch livetv in myth the quality is pretty bad...any idea?
[10:04] <skavenge> niki; np, thats probably the safest FS to use for both
[10:04] <iLLf8d> Vraid, you sure you have a dhcpserver running and is it dropping you out by your hw mac?
[10:04] <B-rat> no one can help ?
[10:05] <kalosaurusrex> yeah I agree on the fat32 thing
[10:05] <Vraid> i used the same network cable that i'm using now
[10:05] <Vraid> hw mac?
[10:05] <iLLf8d> Vraid, ah it said DHCPOFFER hrm
[10:05] <ardchoille> How hard is it to re-master the Ubuntu LiveCD? Is there a set of apps that can help with this?
[10:05] <iLLf8d> Vraid, dunno it should've borged it up then
[10:05] <kalosaurusrex> b-rat, what's your question?
[10:05] <Vraid> i did the same thing more times, but then it got no dhcpoffer =/
[10:05] <skavenge> ardchoille: i believe someone said last night there was documentation on the wiki on how to build a livecd, dunno if that helps
[10:06] <kalosaurusrex> !livecd
[10:06] <ubotu> Ubuntu Dapper 'Desktop' CD contains a Live CD (Ubuntu that runs straight off the CD and RAM) with an install option. Breezy's Live CD contained no install.
[10:06] <ardchoille> skavenge: That's a start, thank you :)
[10:06] <kalosaurusrex> eh well worth a shot.
[10:06] <tim> greetings.. installed freeradius.. got it up and going fine. Now I just did an apt-get for freeradius-dialupadmin and I cant quit figure out what I need to do to get it working. All the files are there, apache is running, but it doesnt look like apache got setup to access the files
[10:06] <skavenge> np
[10:06] <B-rat> i already asked ;(
[10:07] <iLLf8d> ibbl
[10:07] <Vraid> i mean... shouldn't i be able to connect to the same DHCP with that machine as with this one =/
[10:07] <B-rat> anywho why does gaim keep crashing when i try to connect to a msn account ?
[10:07] <iLLf8d> Vraid, should work
[10:07] <kalosaurusrex> B-rat: does it give an error? or just crash?
[10:07] <B-rat> it just closes
[10:07] <iLLf8d> Vraid, you may want to set it static in interfaces just to see if its working right and add a route
[10:07] <B-rat> including my irc windows
[10:07] <kalosaurusrex> perhaps do a sudo tail -f /var/log/messages
[10:07] <Vraid> okay
[10:07] <kalosaurusrex> and run it again
[10:08] <MalMen> how can i set ident on xchat ? :X
[10:08] <kalosaurusrex> and check the log.
[10:08] <skavenge> tail -f is spiffy heh
[10:08] <kalosaurusrex> I love it :)
[10:08] <B-rat> sudo tail is for me ?
[10:08] <Vraid> iLLf8d, IP address would be the same local one as on this comp i guess, but what would subnet mask and gateway address be?
[10:09] <kalosaurusrex> B-rat:  open a terminal window, enter the command then run gaim again until it breaks,  and check the log for errors.
[10:09] <B-rat> kk
[10:10] <B-rat> expect to see me disconnect soon hehe..
[10:10] <aunes> urgh. I'm close to just wiping this linux partition and going back to windows.
[10:11] <Jack_Sparrow> aunes: good choice for your needs
[10:11] <skavenge> yup
[10:11] <B-rat> -f command not found
[10:11] <skavenge> B-rat: tail -f
[10:11] <B-rat> oh heh
[10:11] <aunes> my only non-standard need is the ability to play 1 video game that is installable.
[10:11] <aunes> ... theoretically installable, at least.
[10:11] <B-rat> now what ?
[10:12] <iLLf8d> Vraid, just do a ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.whatever up then route add -net default gw 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
[10:12] <tim> anyone help me with my freeradius-dialupadmin issues there?
[10:12] <skavenge> B-rat: you did tail -f /var/log/messages ? now leave that open and run gaim again till it breaks .. if it gives an error it will show up with that first command
[10:12] <michaels> is there any good app for ubuntu that can be given a folder and rename every single file therein at random?
[10:12] <niki> michaels, you could probably write a script to do that
[10:12] <B-rat> kk
[10:12] <iLLf8d> Vraid, I gotta go for a bit cya
[10:13] <varsendaggr> aunes, us vmplayer to have a virtual windows
[10:13] <Vraid> k, thanks for the help
[10:13] <michaels> well niki, I personally can't. :)
[10:13] <niki> michaels, why not? :D
[10:14] <michaels> niki: since I haven't coded in years and even then it was child's play (literally, a kids' VB course. *shudder*)
[10:14] <skavenge> LOGO! woo gotta love turtles
[10:14] <niki> michaels, i write simple scripts and i've never done any coding
[10:14] <B-rat> it doesnt display anything new
[10:15] <michaels> niki: then I have yet to learn how to script and I don't have the time to figure it out atm
[10:15] <aunes> omgomgomg
[10:15] <aunes> it might be working!!!!!
[10:15] <michaels> bleh, how do I get kooldock to not hide (first use of the thingo)
[10:15] <niki> michaels, well....just a thought :P
[10:15] <michaels> k niki, thx

[10:19] <skavenge> i dont use gaim myself you may want to check the forums and see if its a known bug, possibly someone has a workaround
[10:19] <J-_> with rather
[10:20] <B-rat> whats weird is that it didnt crash the last time i used the live cd
[10:20] <burgermann> Does anyone know if Dapper uses another way of loading usb devices than breezy?
[10:21] <J-_> anyone know the update interval of the SideCandy Weather 0.3 widget? i was messing around with the time interval, now it doesn't work.
[10:21] <ninja> is it possible to deinstall evolution or other gnome-programs and having a "working" ubuntu (with gnome desktop, for example) or should I better avoid such experiements? (just installed the drapper-cd)
[10:22] <B-rat> hmm.. and i have another minor problem.. more of an annoyance, my clock doest want to display the right time, even after i set the timezone.. it just never changed
[10:22] <gnomefreak> ninja: not if you get rid of evolution
[10:22] <eobanb> ninja, you can remove packages within reason
[10:22] <dr_willis> modules blacklist --->
[10:22] <dr_willis> modules blacklist ---> /etc/hotplug/blacklist
[10:22] <eobanb> ninja, but if you remove certain stuff, then things might start breaking
[10:23] <ninja> that i want to avoid :-)
[10:23] <ninja> but i want a "clean" and fast install
[10:23] <ninja> just for testing
[10:23] <J-_> or does anyone know of a channel that can help me with gdesklets?
[10:23] <ninja> without double programs
[10:23] <kalosaurusrex> b-rat are you using gaim 1.5 or 2?
[10:23] <dr_willis> best advice for gdesklets - avoide them :P
[10:24] <B-rat> 1.1.4
[10:24] <kalosaurusrex> using dapper?
[10:24] <B-rat> its a year old live cd.. possibly more
[10:24] <J-_> what type of widgets can i install then that do the same thing?
[10:24] <userundefine> gdesklets aren't that bad
[10:25] <kalosaurusrex> possible to try the current live cd?
[10:25] <dr_willis> userundefine,  just more eye candy.
[10:25] <userundefine> dr_willis, so, some people like it
[10:25] <kalosaurusrex> I find gdesklets more annoying than anything else.
[10:25] <dr_willis> userundefine,  and some people are known to be.. well..  i be polite and not go on...
[10:25] <dr_willis> :P
[10:25] <B-rat> not right now...
[10:26] <dr_willis> Lovely applets that are under my full screen windows.. vs taskbar/dockbar/warf applets that i can actually see :)
[10:26] <ninja> eoban? may we talk for some min in dialog?.. i guess, that my problems are not for great interest in the main channel
[10:26] <B-rat> can i update gaim ?
[10:26] <userundefine> dr_willis, heh
[10:26] <J-_> userundefine: do you run the daemon?
[10:26] <gnomefreak> B-rat: i would upgrade your ubuntu version
[10:26] <userundefine> J-_, yes
[10:26] <kalosaurusrex> if it's year or so old it sounds like you may be using hoary..or warty..
[10:27] <B-rat> can i upgrade gaim without changing my ubuntu version ?
[10:27] <gnomefreak> B-rat: warty isnt supported anymore and hoary is on its way out of support come oct
[10:27] <J-_> could you do me a huge favor? i juse need a setting, i was screwing around with the update interval and the thing crapped out on me
[10:27] <gnomefreak> B-rat: you can download it and build it maybe find a .deb somewhere but your gonna run into problems with dependencies than
[10:27] <kalosaurusrex> B-rat:  so in other words, it's probably possible, but you are probably on your own..
[10:28] <userundefine> J-_, what setting
[10:28] <B-rat> okey... fair warning heh
[10:28] <yoshiznit123> hey everyone, is there a way to download a dapper CD that has all the updates since the release?
[10:28] <ninja> eobanb_ ?
[10:28] <gnomefreak> B-rat: what does lsb_release -a say if you type that in terminal
[10:28] <gnomefreak> yoshiznit123: no not yet
[10:28] <yoshiznit123> ok, thanks
[10:28] <B-rat> im only running it because this machines windows has critical systems effected by a virus
[10:29] <yoshiznit123> gnomefreak, but what do you mean, not yet?
[10:29] <varsendaggr> B-rat, that should be your first clue
[10:29] <kalosaurusrex> gnomefreak:  dude I've ALWAYS wanted to know how to do that!!
[10:29] <gnomefreak> yoshiznit123: there is an issue witht he live cd installer and last i heard they were gonna re-release it
[10:29] <gnomefreak> kalosaurusrex: know hot o do what?
[10:29] <B-rat> i should type lsb_release -a into the terminal ?
[10:29] <kalosaurusrex> lsb_release -a
[10:29] <kalosaurusrex> very handy
[10:30] <gnomefreak> B-rat: yes and give the what is comes back with
[10:30] <B-rat> doesnt do anything
[10:30] <gnomefreak> B-rat: ok what about uname -r
[10:30] <yoshiznit123> gnomefreak, so they don't build daily iso's anymore
[10:30] <gnomefreak> yoshiznit123: not after release
[10:30] <yoshiznit123> ok, thanks alot
[10:30] <B-rat> nothing
[10:30] <ninja> first... the main issue into the i386-install-cd is the behaviour with tft-monitor... *grumble
[10:31] <gnomefreak> ok i know those bvoth work in hoary :(
[10:31] <J-_> userundefine: if you have SideCandy Weather 0.3, put iton teh desktop>right click, configure desklet, go to weather tab, and what does the update interval say?
[10:32] <cantarin> hi
[10:32] <userundefine> J-_, 1800
[10:32] <gnomefreak> B-rat: after typeing it in terminal you are hitting enter?
[10:32] <J-_> thanks man, much appreciated!
[10:32] <B-rat> lol, yes
[10:32] <varsendaggr> is there a way to allocate more memory to my vmp;layer winxp  without having to reinstall xp?
[10:33] <johlin> How do I use grep with ls?
[10:33] <gnomefreak> B-rat: type cat /proc/version  and let me know
[10:33] <B-rat> gggrrrrr... im running outdated software everywhere..
[10:33] <userundefine> ls *somewhere* | grep *something*
[10:33] <Jeffe> I have a samba question can somebody help me?
[10:33] <johlin> userundefine: thanks, I was doing it the other way around
[10:33] <Jeffe> PM me please if you can
[10:34] <Jeffe> NE body?
[10:34] <Jeffe> samba question over here
[10:34] <kalosaurusrex> !helpme > jeffe
[10:34] <ninja> politely asking... someone in who can show me a way for trying out a clean, minimal install for ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu (for example)... (some min in dialog preferred...)
[10:34] <userundefine> why dont you just ask the whole chat.  more likely to get an answer.
[10:34] <B-rat> hey wait a minute.. that uname -r returns this 2.6.10-5-386
[10:34] <zOap> I need an app which scans the network for ip adresses in use
[10:35] <gnomefreak> B-rat: that sounds like hoart hedgehog i would update atleast to breezy if not dapper
[10:35] <B-rat>  /proc/version returns Permission denied
[10:35] <Jeffe> can anyone tell me why the following string does not work in fstab?
[10:35] <Jeffe> /kris/"My Music"/iTunes/ /home/kris/Music  smbfs  credentials=/root/.smbcredentials    0    0
[10:36] <gnomefreak> B-rat: because you didnt use cat
[10:36] <B-rat> ?
[10:36] <skavenge> how do i set the default player dvd's use? ive been fishing around  the wiki and all i see is for mp3s movies etc, there's no 'open with' tab under properties for the dvd .. anyone know?
[10:36] <B-rat> oh..
[10:36] <B-rat> Linux version 2.6.10-5-386 (buildd@terranova) (gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8ubuntu2)) #1 Tue Apr 5 12:12:40 UTC 2005
[10:37] <DR_K13> anyone good with broadcom stuff? my 4306 stopped working
[10:37] <kalosaurusrex> Jeffe:  not that I'm good with samba, but I'm thinking that mount will try to mount what you have exactly there, none of which are network shares..
[10:37] <kalosaurusrex> the /kris/... would be taken as a dir in your root /
[10:37] <hakanw> what's the recommended way to setup a cron job that will update a dyndns dynamic dns address?
[10:37] <kalosaurusrex> so it would be trying to mount a local fs
[10:37] <Jeffe> sorry I had the string wrong
[10:37] <Jeffe> /kris/"My Music"/iTunes/ /home/kris/Music  smbfs  credentials=/root/.smbcredentials    0    0
[10:38] <Jeffe> ahh
[10:38] <B-rat> i need to update everything i own...
[10:38] <Jeffe> ////kris/"My Music"/iTunes/ /home/kris/Music  smbfs  credentials=/root/.smbcredentials    0    0
[10:38] <Jeffe> sorry, here is the string: //kris/"My Music"/iTunes/ /home/kris/Music  smbfs  credentials=/root/.smbcredentials    0    0
[10:38] <Jeffe> there we go
[10:38] <kalosaurusrex> oh gotcha lol
[10:38] <nyxie> bbs
[10:38] <Jeffe> I can't see what thats not working
[10:38] <ninja> what, if u prefer the ip? instead of kris?
[10:38] <DR_K13> anyone good with broadcom stuff? my 4306 stopped working
[10:39] <Jeffe> I can get it to work if I just to mount -t etc....
[10:39] <kalosaurusrex> jeffe are you connect to the server? I mean is there an smb kris file on your desktop?
[10:39] <Jeffe> IP = no good
[10:39] <kalosaurusrex> assuming you are using gnome.
[10:39] <Jeffe> not at the momemnt
[10:39] <Jeffe> but I can coonect
[10:39] <Jeffe> smb is working
[10:39] <kalosaurusrex> not sure if it will help..but perhaps it may?
[10:39] <Jeffe> I can do it with smb4k
[10:39] <mwe> Jeffe: what's the mount command you use?
[10:40] <kalosaurusrex> I'm really not sure on mounting network shares through the fstab though
[10:40] <lamego> it is ok to have samba mounts on the fstab
[10:40] <Jeffe> I used moun -t smbfs //kris/"My Music"/iTunes /home/kris/Music -o usrname=user,password=pass
[10:40] <ninja> mainly it isnt a good idea *though.. using fstab... a little script is better *just thinking
[10:41] <B-rat> thx for the help
[10:41] <mwe> Jeffe: so use that in fstab as well instead of the credidentials stuff
[10:41] <Jeffe> I'll give it a shot bit I don't think it's going to work
[10:41] <Jeffe> fstab does not to commands from what I knows
[10:42] <varsendaggr> ok this may not be the right place to ask this so...    her goes anyway .  i want to be able to use two nic    with vmplayer   is this a possiblity?
[10:42] <aunes> well.. wow is installed... but now I'm getting errors from the application itsself *growls*
[10:42] <mwe> Jeffe: the -o on the command line is what is under options is fstab
[10:42] <mwe> Jeffe: it should work I think
[10:42] <ninja> varsendaggr: why not?
[10:42] <aunes> I don't understand why my computer isn't doing what everyone elses is doing. It doesn't make sense
[10:42] <Imperial> i have a question
[10:43] <skavenge> hardware makes all the difference in the world
[10:43] <kalosaurusrex> !helpme > imperial
[10:43] <Jeffe> so how should my string read?
[10:43] <Dreamglider> i just watched a wiveo
[10:43] <Jeffe> I just don't see what I am doing wrong
[10:43] <MrWoo> can someboedy tell me where to go to get help with gnmoe
[10:43] <MrWoo> *gnome
[10:43] <Dreamglider> i just watched this http://www.fhm.com/site/100sexiestgame/index.html and i lost all sound, cant hear anything
[10:43] <ninja> varsendaggr: whats the real prob?
[10:43] <Imperial> Does ubuntu support winmodems?
[10:43] <MrWoo> !gnome
[10:43] <ubotu> gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[10:43] <aunes> skavenge: So it would seem. I think its a memory refrence error
[10:44] <hey560> How does one change the default resolution/refresh rate for the login screen?
[10:44] <MetaMorfoziS> rlz
[10:44] <J_P> hey all, anyone know how to use --exclude argument in tar for exclude one directory on tar ? I try this :tar -czvf A.tar.gz A --exclude=/tmp/A/b/  but not works. Anyone have know how use that ?
[10:44] <Imperial> Does ubuntu support winmodems?
[10:44] <kalosaurusrex> !winmodems
[10:44] <ubotu> I know nothing about winmodems
[10:44] <kalosaurusrex> !winmodem
[10:44] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[10:44] <lamego> J_P, try it without the trailing /
[10:44] <Imperial> ok
[10:44] <Imperial> thx
[10:44] <aunes> is it necessary to tell wine in some way what my graphic card is and/or install drivers for it?
[10:44] <Imperial> :)
[10:45] <mwe> Jeffe: //kris/"My Music"/iTunes /home/kris/Music smbfs usrname=user,password=pass 0 0, I think
[10:45] <skavenge> aunes; very much so if the game needs 3d acceleration especially, though i dont know how
[10:46] <lamego> aunes, I don't think so, wine just sends the output to your Xserver, the driver doesn't matter
[10:46] <J_P> lamego: i try now: tar -czvf A.tar.gz A --exclude=/tmp/A/b    But not works too!  :-(
[10:46] <ninja> for me wine gets always drunk..
[10:46] <skavenge> lamego: yeah he needs 3d acceleration working in the x server for it to translate to the game though
[10:47] <varsendaggr> ninja, i want to run xbox connect inside windows inside ubuntu and i can't seem to figure out how to share the drive,   i think the issue is that i have two network cards ( one mobo one pci )  and the vmplayer is only showing the pci (  i ronically i can get the interent  in windows but the pci card is only hooked up to my xbox via a crossover cable
[10:47] <mwe> Jeffe: you probably want a umask like 0222 or 0000 as well though
[10:47] <ninja> skavenge: only for some games, though :-)
[10:47] <lamego> and that is driver dependent "inside" wine ? isn't that handled by X itself using hw or sw depending on the X driver ?
[10:47] <hou5ton> I've got Ubuntu back on this laptop, but the screen resolution still refuses to adjust to 1440x900. Breezy did, and FC5 does. Any suggestions? I happen to have a printout of hte FC5 xorg.conf
[10:47] <BCK14> what would i use to develop C applications?
[10:47] <skavenge> lamego; not inside wine no if thats what it sounded like my mistake
[10:48] <lamego> BCK14, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:48] <skavenge> he does need 3d accel going in the x \server though
[10:48] <MrWoo> can i get some help with gnome here?
[10:48] <mwe> skavenge: of course :)
[10:48] <lamego> skavenge, ok :)
[10:48] <BCK14> lamego: i have that, what should i use to run c code?
[10:48] <jrib> BCK14: text editor and gcc, anjuta if you want an IDE
[10:48] <Jeffe> man this is a pain in the ass
[10:48] <BCK14> ok
[10:48] <Jeffe> stupid smb
[10:48] <lamego> BCK14, you should learn to use a compiler, or install an editor
[10:48] <BCK14> anjuta sounds like what i want
[10:48] <mwe> Jeffe: it's not working when you remount?
[10:48] <lamego> BCK14, try code::codeblocks
[10:48] <aunes> I'm up to the point of installing updated drivers using nvidia-glx-config enable, but I get an error: This script cannot proceed automatically. and wants me to manually change things.
[10:48] <BCK14> lamego: i can compile from source :)
[10:49] <Jeffe> mwe: nope
[10:49] <Jeffe> it works in command line
[10:49] <ninja> varsendaggr: it depends on the basic-system... u can change mainly all... install, remove hardware, for example... if u have the needed drivers... it "is" a windows problem then (guessing), not a problem of vmware-workstation or vmware-player
[10:49] <Jeffe> but not in fstab
[10:49] <klay> god damn wine tools
[10:49] <BCK14> lamego: just going to start writing my own C app's
[10:49] <dooglus> BCK14: that's what you need to do.  C code can't be run - it has to be compiled.
[10:49] <Jeffe> I'm just trying to get it to mount on boot
[10:49] <Jeffe> thats all
[10:49] <mwe> Jeffe: Odd. the options in fstab should work exactly as if it was done with  mount from the cli
[10:49] <Jeffe> maybe and sh script should do it
[10:49] <klay> im trying to get this windows hentai game to work on my box
[10:49] <Allz-i-> hello i have not on my computer for a 9 month -so do i have to download the update ?
[10:49] <lamego> aunes, you will need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace the "nv" with "nvidia" on the driver section
[10:49] <klay> only supports direct x
[10:50] <klay> no direct draw
[10:50] <Allz-i-> hello i have not been on my computer for a 9 month -so do i have to download the update ?
[10:50] <DBO> klay, dont be surprised if you dont get any help...
[10:50] <dooglus> Allz-i-: no.
[10:50] <dooglus> Allz-i-: it's optional
[10:50] <J_P> anyone know how to use --exclude argument in tar for exclude one directory on tar ? I try this :tar -czvf A.tar.gz A --exclude=/tmp/A/b/  but not works!
[10:50] <aunes> lamego:  I _just_ did that. will I need to restart X?
[10:50] <lamego> Allz-i-, you should install a fresh version :P
[10:50] <Jeffe> the other strange thing
[10:50] <Jeffe> I can't unmount
[10:50] <ninja> the "sharing" might be a linux problem, though.. u have to install a linux-user/samba-user, too
[10:50] <varsendaggr> ninja, maybe you can help me with this i have three options for network   bridged nat and host only.    is there away to alter these
[10:50] <Jeffe> so maybe thats a problem
[10:50] <lamego> aunes, yes, ctrl-backspace should do it
[10:50] <klay> lol
[10:50] <mwe> Jeffe: mount //foo /bar -o blah should be working equivalently to if you put it in fstab
[10:50] <aunes> alright. brb.
[10:50] <jrib> Jeffe: any output when you try?
[10:50] <varsendaggr> hmmm
[10:50] <Jeffe> yeha
[10:51] <Jeffe> line X is bad in fstab
[10:51] <compengi> how do create irc shell accounts
[10:51] <compengi> ?
[10:51] <lamego> Jeffe, grrr you can't put the "mount" itself there
[10:51] <Jeffe> [mntent] : line 11 in /etc/fstab is bad
[10:51] <Jeffe> lemme see
[10:51] <dooglus> J_P: you can only exclude things which would otherwise be included
[10:51] <lamego> look at a default fstab line, and fill the fields according to it
[10:51] <DBO> compengi, you want to give people local accounts that they can (ssh?) log into for IRC usage???
[10:51] <dooglus> J_P: so if you're tarring up 'A', try excluding 'A/b'
[10:51] <vraid> oh wow
[10:52] <vraid> i'm connected
[10:52] <compengi> DBO, yes
[10:52] <DBO> compengi, thats a very very very bad idea...
[10:52] <Jeffe> here is how the string rreads now: mount //kris/"My Music"/iTunes /home/kris/Music  smbfs  credentials=/root/.smbcredentials    0    0
[10:52] <compengi> O.o
[10:52] <compengi> DBO, why
[10:52] <Jeffe> and when I do a mount -a
[10:52] <Jeffe> I get the error
[10:52] <DBO> compengi, because you would end up giving them local access to the box
[10:52] <lamego> Jeffe, you are not supposed to place a mount command on /etc/fstab
[10:52] <vraid> i have one problem though, firefox can't access any pages
[10:52] <Jeffe> thats what I thought
[10:52] <aunes> YES!
[10:52] <aunes> I got it to run, now I just have to get it updated :)] 
[10:53] <Allz-i->  hello i need help -i get about virutal memmory is to low
[10:53] <mwe> Jeffe: here is an example: //192.168.0.1/linux /mnt/linux smbfs username=myusername,password=mypassword,umask=0000 0 0
[10:53] <lamego> you are supposed to put a plain filesystem descrption, that will be used on the mount command
[10:53] <Allz-i-> whaaat does it mean
[10:53] <aunes> I love you all and may your children be blessed and so on and so forth.
[10:53] <Jeffe> mwe thanks lemme see what that does
[10:53] <compengi> DBO, but if i want them to use the shell account for only psybnc and eggdrop?
[10:53] <mwe> Jeffe: don't copy verbatim of course
[10:53] <Jeffe> yeah Iknow
[10:53] <Allz-i-> i cant play games ;( -i get some error about virutal memmory is to low - pleaaaaaase someone tell me what does it mean
[10:54] <Jeffe> the thing is, it's not a linux share
[10:54] <Gooofy> I am installing UT2004, asking for CD#2, how to unmount/mount
[10:54] <Jeffe> it's a windows share
[10:54] <skavenge> anyway to turn off all the movie info in gxine when playing in a window? (the bitrate, name of file, time left, etc)
[10:54] <mwe> Jeffe: use the appropiate name
[10:54] <Jeffe> ;)
[10:54] <lamego> Gooofy, sudo umount cd_path
[10:54] <J_P> dooglus: ok, trying :-)
[10:54] <DBO> compengi, why dont we step back a minute and you tell me what you want other people to be able to do (more generally than use ssh for irc) and we will work out a proper solution
[10:54] <mwe> Jeffe: make sure your mount point exists and you can use the name instead of the IP
[10:54] <Gooofy> sudo umount /media/cdrom0
[10:54] <compengi> ok
[10:54] <compengi> DBO, can i IM you?
[10:54] <Jeffe> yeah the mount point exist
[10:54] <Gooofy> ok
[10:55] <DBO> compengi, sure
[10:55] <mwe> Jeffe: just use the options you do from the CLI and unmount it then remount it
[10:55] <Jeffe> I've not had any luck using IP thus far
[10:55] <J_P> dooglus: tar -czvf A.tar.gz A --exclude=A/b  not works too :-(
[10:55] <Jeffe> mwe: unmount command is not owkring
[10:55] <mwe> Jeffe: huh?
[10:55] <Jeffe> I should just do: sudo unmount /dir/of/mount
[10:55] <mwe> Jeffe: sudo umount /mount/point
[10:55] <Jeffe> yeah, thats not working
[10:55] <Technel> I have two hard drives: a 30gb PATA drive and a 160gb SATA drive. I want to install Ubuntu alongside Windows and so it has to be on the PATA drive (GRUB ALWAYS assumes that Ubuntu/MBR is on the IDE drive). I was thinking of installing Windows/Ubuntu onto the IDE drive and storing all backups, large files, music, etc. on the SATA drive. I want to use Windows (WoW, BF2, CS:S, etc) just for gaming and Ubuntu for general surfing, pr
[10:55] <Technel> ogramming, and everything else. Do you think that 30gb would be enough? My current Windows install is 41gb but...I don't know..ideas?
[10:55] <Jeffe> watch
[10:56] <mwe> Jeffe: that is if it's mounted
[10:56] <johlin> Why does anjuta want to save c++ files as .cc? I want them to be cpp so that I can edit them in Windows and Linux without having a copy?
[10:56] <Jeffe> kris@ubuntu:~$ sudo unmoun /home/kris/Music/
[10:56] <Jeffe> sudo: unmoun: command not found
[10:56] <mwe> johlin: can't you change that in settings?
[10:56] <Jeffe> opps
[10:56] <mwe> Jeffe: umount
[10:56] <Jeffe> unmounT
[10:56] <reemusk> i'm such a noob. i've checked the faq, but i can't get dapper drake to use my dsl modem to connect
[10:56] <mwe> Jeffe: not unmount. umount
[10:56] <lamego> johlin, because .cc is the standard sufffix for C++ files, and the suffix is not relevant unless you depend on a specific IDE to build your project
[10:57] <Jeffe> kris@ubuntu:~$ sudo unmount /home/kris/Music/
[10:57] <Jeffe> sudo: unmount: command not found
[10:57] <Jeffe> DOH!
[10:57] <johlin> mwe: I've taken a quick look and it doesn't look as if.
[10:57] <Jeffe> umount
[10:57] <Jeffe> got it
[10:57] <mwe> johlin: odd
[10:57] <Jeffe> been at this too long
[10:57] <BCK14> !offtopic
[10:57] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[10:57] <lamego> i mean the standard on ajunta :P
[10:57] <Jeffe> I'm seeing letters that are not there
[10:57] <mwe> johlin: file a bug report if it's not possible
[10:57] <johlin> lamego: that's the thing, I need to be able to just open the files in Visual Studio on Windows without renaming everything.
[10:57] <Jeffe> lets try agian
[10:58] <johlin> mew: I'm sure you can, but I was just looking for a quick answer for where I change it, the settings dialog is pretty big.
[10:58] <BoredPenguin> new updates problem: libcairo2 requires libreetype6 >= 2.2.1 but that package is missing
[10:58] <reemusk> is there supposed to somewhere for me to enter a username/password for my DSL carrier???
[10:58] <dooglus> J_P: works for me: http://s89213869.onlinehome.us/tar-exclude.txt
[10:58] <lamego> johlin, there should be an option on ajunta preferences to chat that, but I am not an Anjuta user myself
[10:58] <MrWoo> can i get some gnome help
[10:58] <lamego> erm, to change
[10:58] <mwe> johlin: well it's been a while since I last used it so I can't help you there
[10:58] <Jeffe> hmm no go
[10:58] <poorsod> i need some help about my wireless nework
[10:59] <poorsod> *network
[10:59] <Jeffe> I guess I'll have to google fstab
[10:59] <Jeffe> learn a bit more
[10:59] <pcfan> new updates problem: libcairo2 requires libreetype6 >= 2.2.1 but that package is missing
[10:59] <Jeffe> thanks anyway
[10:59] <johlin> mwe: sure, ow problem
[10:59] <Ademan> hey i'd like to dual boot windows and ubuntu, i heard that installing windows overrides the bootloader (in my case grub) which means i'd no longer be able to boot into ubuntu, is there a way to restore grub after installing windows? (since i already have ubuntu installed)
[10:59] <Lobster> yeah...
[10:59] <lamego> johlin, if you are still chossing an IDE give code::blocks a try, because there is win/lin versions it will be easier to compile the projects with it
[10:59] <jrib> MrWoo: you can ask gnome questions here, there is also #gnome on GIMPNet
[10:59] <Lobster> using an boot-floppy
[10:59] <marcus> hello
[11:00] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub

[11:00] <reemusk> is this the right place to get assistance with my connection issues?
[11:00] <mwe> Jeffe: 'man mount' and 'man fstab' is good reading
[11:00] <Jeffe> aight
[11:00] <Jeffe> thanks
[11:00] <poorsod> i need some help with my wireless network
[11:00] <pcfan> new updates problem: libcairo2 requires libreetype6 >= 2.2.1 but that package is missing
[11:00] <mwe> !helpme
[11:00] <poorsod> i have an old belkin it is based on atmel
[11:00] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:00] <MrWoo> jrib, i'll go there in a sec, but do you know anything about the settings deamon not being able to start
[11:00] <johlin> lamego: sounds good. Can I get it from apt-get?
[11:00] <poorsod> last time i tried ubuntu
[11:00] <J_P> dooglus: are you using dapper ?
[11:01] <poorsod> it recognised the adapter but wouldnt let me connect to router
[11:01] <jrib> MrWoo: no, does it happen everytime?
[11:01] <MrWoo> jrib, when i can get the thing to actually boot, yes
[11:01] <poorsod> does this happen with the new version?
[11:01] <Lobster> Gute Nacht meine Freunde
[11:01] <dooglus> J_P: no, sid; but the behaviour will be the same.  can you run those same commands I ran in /tmp and show me what happens for you?
[11:01] <MrWoo> jrib, this has happened on two different G4's mind you
[11:01] <lamego> johlin, I don't think so, I have it installed from the daily builds, there are Ubuntu .deb packages
[11:02] <J_P> dooglus: yes, I paste for you in private message..
[11:02] <J_P> dooglus: look there!

[11:02] <johlin> lamego: good enough
[11:02] <jrib> MrWoo: when you try to run 'gnome-settings-daemon' from a terminal, does it work?
[11:02] <lamego> poorsod, the best thing to do is to give it a try with the live CD
[11:02] <MrWoo> jrib, how do i do that?
[11:02] <reemusk> where do i enter my dsl username/password?
[11:02] <poorsod> i will come back 2moz never mind it is not a very important question
[11:02] <poorsod> ok i will do that
[11:03] <jrib> MrWoo: just go to applications > accessories > terminal, type in 'gnome-settings-daemon' without the quotes, and press enter
[11:03] <Gooofy> how to mount?
[11:03] <Jack_Sparrow> reemusk: I didnt need to do anything for my DSL
[11:03] <poorsod> i need to go to bed it is 11.00 over here
[11:03] <skavenge> if its old and it doesnt have support yet it likely wont ever without additional work after install
[11:03] <reemusk> interesting
[11:03] <lamego> Gooofy, sudo mount /device /mountpath
[11:03] <reemusk> jack: mine will not connect...it says the ethernet is active....and DHCP...the connection is enabled...still it does nothing
[11:03] <reemusk> "server not found"
[11:04] <stiv2k> how come i don't have the package flashplugin-nonfree
[11:04] <jrib> stiv2k: you need multiverse
[11:04] <skavenge> probably dont have the repositories enabled
[11:04] <MrWoo> jrib, OH OH SOMETHING HAPPEND
[11:04] <skavenge> !repos
[11:04] <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
[11:04] <Gooofy> sudo mount  /dev/cdrw  /media/cdrom0  ?
[11:04] <stiv2k> jrib: gotcha
[11:04] <lamego> GodFather,, assuming the device and mounpoints are correct, yes
[11:05] <lamego> I meant, Gooofy
[11:05] <MrWoo> jrib, around the terminal window it turned orange and then it said was overidding entries
[11:05] <stiv2k> jrib: do i just close and reopen firefox after this is installed
[11:05] <Technel> I have two hard drives: a 30gb PATA drive and a 160gb SATA drive. I want to install Ubuntu alongside Windows and so it has to be on the PATA drive (GRUB ALWAYS assumes that Ubuntu/MBR is on the IDE drive). I was thinking of installing Windows/Ubuntu onto the IDE drive and storing all backups, large files, music, etc. on the SATA drive. I want to use Windows (WoW, BF2, CS:S, etc) just for gaming and Ubuntu for general surfing, pr
[11:05] <Technel> ogramming, and everything else. Do you think that 30gb would be enough? My current Windows install is 41gb but...I don't know..ideas?
[11:05] <stiv2k> jrib: and it should be ther?
[11:05] <jrib> !multiverse > stiv2k
[11:05] <stiv2k> yes yes i know
[11:05] <stiv2k> i got multiverse
[11:05] <skavenge> stiv2k: once its installed yes all it takes is a firefox restart
[11:05] <stiv2k> skavenge: thanks
[11:05] <stiv2k> jrib: thanks
[11:05] <lamego> Technel, do you expect us to know your data size needs ?
[11:06] <skavenge> not that flash works very well in linux anyway but theres tweaks in the forums you can do
[11:06] <Technel> Lets say I had World of Warcraft (~6gbs) on a second harddrive, would it be slower to read it off a second hard drive?
[11:06] <reemusk> i can't connect using my DSL modem, can anyone assist? i've been told it should "just connect"
[11:06] <MrWoo> jrib, something changed
[11:06] <lamego> it is more than enough for the OS
[11:06] <Gooofy> mount: you must specify filesystem type
[11:06] <mwe> reemusk: does you interface show with sudo ifconfig?
[11:06] <Gooofy> sudo mount /dev/cdrw /media/cdrom0
[11:06] <Gooofy> failed
[11:06] <jrib> MrWoo: ok... so I guess it runs ok.  I'd try creating a new user and seeing if the error still occurs when you login to gnome with the new user
[11:06] <lamego> Gooofy, that means the cd media you are trying to install does not have a recognized file system type
[11:07] <Technel> lamego, Is it much slower to read data (specifically games) off of a secondary, slave hard drive?
[11:07] <lamego> ops, install = mount
[11:07] <pcfan> new updates problem: libcairo2 requires libreetype6 >= 2.2.1 but that package is missing, any ideas?
[11:07] <skavenge> yeah file a bug
[11:07] <kalosaurusrex> pcfan, run sudo apt-get -f install
[11:07] <skavenge> launchpad.net
[11:07] <lamego> Technel, that depends on the hard disk specification and interface
[11:07] <faki3> hey all
[11:07] <pcfan> thanks
[11:07] <reemusk> mwe: haven't tried it. instructions??
[11:07] <zOap> I need an app which searches for ip adresses in use on local lan. it does not have to be a gui app...
[11:07] <MrWoo> jrib, well the desktop and other stuff didn't load
[11:07] <MrWoo> jrib, but how do i make a new user
[11:08] <mwe> reemusk: open a terminal. type sudo ifconfig at the prompt
[11:08] <jrib> MrWoo: sudo adduser foo
[11:08] <OHPhoneGuy> z0ap: nmap?
[11:08] <reemusk> and then?
[11:08] <MrWoo> jrib: What
[11:08] <lamego> z0ap I guess you need something like  a portscanner or just write a script wichs pings the entire lan
[11:08] <zOap> OHPhoneGuy, I'll try
[11:08] <MrWoo> jrib, do i type that in the terminal
[11:08] <PS> hi, can anyone help - i'm wondering why sound juicer is taking 40 mins to encode a cd to mp3 even tho i have a 3GHz cpu?  my gstreamer pipeline is this "audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 quality=0 bitrate=192".  Any advice?
[11:08] <zOap> OHPhoneGuy, ty
[11:08] <Technel> lamego, Primary hard drive: 7200RPM Western Digital 30gb PATA/IDE; Secondary: 7200RPM Western Digital 160gb SATA
[11:08] <jrib> MrWoo: yeah, there is also system > administration > users
[11:08] <MrWoo> jrib, k
[11:09] <lamego> Technel, it should be just fine, beeing slave does not make it slower
[11:09] <hakanw> how do I make the /var/www dir writable by anyone (including my ftp server) ?
[11:09] <OHPhoneGuy> z0ap: No problem.
[11:09] <hakanw> I tried to chown it to "ftp"
[11:09] <OHPhoneGuy> hakanw, chmod -R a+w /var/www/
[11:09] <faki3> PS I had the some issue, try this one audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc vbr=4 vbr-quality=2 ! xingmux ! id3v2mux
[11:09] <simian__> i'm trying to set up pureftp and i think that i've done it correct, can i connect to my computer through a web browser or do i nee an ftp cliant?
[11:09] <OHPhoneGuy> er,  chmod -R a+rw /var/www/
[11:09] <jrib> MrWoo: nautilus is the program that should be handling your desktop
[11:09] <lamego> hakanw, that is not safe to do, but do it at your own risk: chmod 777 /var/www
[11:09] <Technel> lamego, So if I were to install Windows programs onto the SATA drive while the OS is on the PATA/IDE drive, it wouldn't be slower to read off of the second HD?
[11:09] <reemusk> mwe: so open a terminal, sudo ifconfig....then what comes next? anycommands afterwards?
[11:09] <hakanw> lamego: any other suggested solution?
[11:10] <hakanw> lamego: symlink to the ftp's user dir perhaps?
[11:10] <lamego> Technel, well thats an hard question, it would be slower botting the OS, as for the rest it depends a bit on the system use
[11:10] <PS> thanks faki3, i'll give that a go now
[11:10] <mwe> reemusk: tell me if the command shows your network interface
[11:10] <faki3> PS kewl
[11:10] <Technel> lamego, Thanks
[11:10] <lamego> booting
[11:11] <hakanw> anyone have a recommended way to do this?
[11:11] <lamego> hakanw, what are you trying to achieve from a functional point of view ?
[11:11] <MrWoo> jrib, i created a new user and logged out, then logged back in and i got the same error
[11:11] <Gareth> hm, what would I use to change the clock speed/voltage of my AMD Turion?  cpuinfo is telling me that it's runninng at 800 mhz (it's good for 1600 mhz)
[11:11] <MrWoo> jrib, it also says something about nautilus not working either
[11:11] <hakanw> lamego: trying to make it possible to ftp to the main www/ dir on my server, for some special users
[11:11] <johlin> the link for the code::blocks ubuntu .deb is broken, does anyone have it?
[11:11] <hakanw> I
[11:12] <mwe> Gareth: well it will run faster when the cpu gets loaded
[11:12] <hakanw> I've come so far as to give us read privileges to there, but we can't write yet
[11:12] <jrib> MrWoo: can you give the exact text in both of the error messages?  I'll help you google
[11:12] <lamego> hakanw, I believe the apache on ubuntu is using a www-data group
[11:12] <lamego> you should only need to add them to the www-data group
[11:12] <mwe> Gareth: it's just clocking down when it's not busy
[11:12] <Gareth> ah right of course mwe, I'd forgotten about that awesome little feature
[11:12] <lamego> I am assuming there is g+w on the web root dir
[11:12] <hakanw> lamego: but the ftp server is running under its own account, do I add ftp then?
[11:12] <Gareth> that's powernowd doing it's think right mwe?
[11:12] <mwe> Gareth: yeah
[11:13] <MrWoo> jrib, would knowing the specific error help, cause i have it
[11:13] <lamego> hakanw, that depends on the ftp server you use, ftp servers usually really on the login user permissions
[11:13] <jrib> MrWoo: yeah
[11:13] <mwe> Gareth: at least in breezy it was. not sure if it changed to the built in kernel support in dapper
[11:13] <lamego> the ftp user itself is not part of the permission control
[11:13] <hakanw> lamego: aah
[11:13] <hakanw> I'm using vsftpd
[11:13] <hakanw> lamego: ah ok, I mixed that up with how apache works I guess
[11:13] <Gareth> I'm fairly sure you're right
[11:13] <lamego> hakanw, the ftp server will switch to whatever using has logged in, the control is based on the login user, not on the ftp user...
[11:14] <hakanw> ok, great
[11:14] <Gareth> I'll try and find something to burn cpu cycles and see
[11:14] <MrWoo> jrib, System excpetion:IDL:omg.org/COBRA/COMM_FAILURE: 1.0
[11:14] <lamego> yup, ftp does a switch user, unlike apache :)
[11:14] <hakanw> lamego: thanks!
[11:16] <PS> faki3, that's done the job nicely - rip time is down from 40 mins to about 4 mins, sweet!  :-)
[11:17] <reemusk> i'm going to go check it now
[11:17] <MrWoo> jrib, i'm not getting anything are you?
[11:17] <jrib> MrWoo: a few hits with your error, but no hints yet
[11:17] <MrWoo> jrib, this is my exact problem right here http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2003-June/msg00275.html
[11:18] <mwe> Gareth: while true; do echo $((10*10)); done should bump up the cpu clock I think
[11:18] <MrWoo> jrib, well not exactly
[11:19] <Gareth> heh good idea
[11:19] <zcat[1] > cat /dev/urandom > /dev/null should work too....
[11:20] <monomaniacpat> Anyone here good with wine? are there any good channel for such things?
[11:20] <mwe> Gareth: or just while true; do i=$((10*10)); done if you don't wanna spam the terminal
[11:20] <jrib> monomaniacpat: #winehq
[11:20] <Gareth> yeah you were quite right mwe, powernowd scaled the proc to 1600
[11:20] <jmac__> Hello everyone! Thanks Ubuntu for the awesome OS. I am having a problem with a USB Wireless Targus PAWM004 mouse. Anyone have any luck with it?
[11:20] <mwe> Gareth: well good then
[11:20] <jmac__> Google turned up very little
[11:20] <Gareth> thanks for the pointer
[11:20] <skavenge> Gareth: what are you using to check cpu speed?
[11:20] <Gareth> cat procinfo
[11:21] <skavenge> ah okay
[11:21] <mwe> cat /proc/cpuinfo you mean?
[11:21] <Gareth> er, yeah
[11:21] <Gareth> I was just in the /proc directory
[11:21] <vraid> hey guys.. i just got my internet working, but firefox refuses to connect
[11:21] <monomaniacpat> jrib: thanks
[11:22] <zcat[1] > vraid: it's not in offline mode/
[11:22] <zcat[1] > ?
[11:22] <varsendaggr> hey i can connect through the internet with my nic card   but how do i set up usb?
[11:22] <MrWoo> jrib, by the way, when i logged in as the new user i created all i get is a big red screen
[11:22] <varsendaggr> can anyone see me?
[11:22] <kalosaurusrex> varsendaggr: what's wrong with your usb?
[11:22] <lamego> vraid, what error do you get ? Have you checked your dns configuration ?
[11:22] <jrib> MrWoo: that's really strange, I haven't seen this before
[11:23] <MrWoo> jrib: just my luck
[11:23] <jrib> MrWoo: is it cobra or corba?
[11:23] <__mikem> Where did all that come from
[11:23] <__mikem> I swear I didn't do it
[11:23] <MrWoo> jrib, idk, i might have copied it down wrong
[11:23] <MrWoo> jrib, i thought it was cobra
[11:24] <jrib> MrWoo: when did this start?
[11:24] <varsendaggr> ok here goes:   i have a qwest modem that has 1 usb output one ethernet output  and i wnat to setup xbock connect on a vmplayer running winxp
[11:24] <varsendaggr> kalosaurusrex,
[11:25] <MrWoo> jrib: as soon as i tried to put ubuntu onto these macs i just got, this is my first time ever using ubuntu
[11:25] <kalosaurusrex> varsendaggr: ah.  so you are trying to connect your cable modem to your computer via usb.  honestly not sure how to make that work.
[11:25] <MeGaQuArK> Can someone help me with a keyboard layout problem?
[11:25] <MrWoo> jrib: i haven't even been able to install ubuntu on these computers yet
[11:25] <gabo> hola
[11:25] <varsendaggr> i have never been able to get usb connectivity with linux
[11:25] <jrib> MrWoo: so this is the livecd?
[11:25] <MrWoo> jrib: correct
[11:26] <JW> Hi
[11:26] <gabo> I have a 5.1 dolby sound system. with a C-media 8738, and my subwoofer does not  sound
[11:26] <lamego> varsendaggr, how dows vmware player come into play for your usb cable problem ?
[11:26] <varsendaggr> i want to use it to play xbox connect under vmplayer winxp
[11:26] <lamego> if you have an ethernet connection why not use it instead ?
[11:26] <hakanw> lamego: so, maybe I screwed up the /var/www/ perms before because I chowned it :/   what's the default?   I tried to change the owner back to www-data
[11:26] <kalosaurusrex> varsendaggr: your cable modem doesn't have a eth connection?
[11:27] <jrib> MrWoo: hmm, you could try the text installer and see if it doesn't happen on a real install
[11:27] <aunes> where is the default mozilla install directory for ubuntu?
[11:27] <MrWoo> jrib: how do i do that
[11:27] <kalosaurusrex> aunes: ~/.mozilla
[11:27] <kalosaurusrex> i think
[11:27] <aunes> thx
[11:27] <jrib> MrWoo: just download the alternate install disk iso

[11:28] <varsendaggr> her is why i want to use the usb   i have gotten the usb to work with winxp    before    and i thout it would be easier to use this way... i have been trying with the other way all afternoon
[11:28] <mooseman447> ubuntu would be good for a apache with php server right?
[11:29] <MeGaQuArK> !keyboard layout
[11:29] <ubotu> I know nothing about keyboard layout
[11:29] <lamego> varsendaggr, if your USB device does not work on linux, it will not work inside vmware player
[11:29] <FunnyLookinHat> neutrinomass, that's what i was hoping for... dangit.
[11:29] <mwe> MeGaQuArK: please don't play with the bot in the room. /msg it instead
[11:29] <hakanw> lamego: but what about the www-data group? shouldn't that be the owner to let them change it?
[11:29] <jrib> MrWoo: before dapper, the installer was always text based.  The livecd with the install is a new thing, and to be honest it seems to still have a few problems
[11:29] <lamego> varsendaggr, and using the ethernet port should be easier
[11:29] <JW> How can I determine which video board is in the system?  My system runs Ubuntu very slow, but Knoppix fast  Why?
[11:30] <kalosaurusrex> aunes: caps M or lower case?
[11:30] <varsendaggr> it might
[11:30] <MrWoo> jrib: oh, so its not exactly the most stable thing in the world
[11:30] <lamego> hakanw, no, changing files is not an usual privilege for a web service
[11:30] <jrib> MrWoo: be sure to burn at like 2x or 4x
[11:30] <MrWoo> jrib: why?
[11:30] <johlin> I'm trying to compile Code::Blocks, but I get this error. johan@johan:~/.devel/codeblocks-1.0rc2$ ./bootstrap
[11:30] <johlin> bash: ./bootstrap: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[11:30] <johlin> , what is wrong?
[11:30] <aunes> kalosaurusrex: heh. I'm using firefox :-X
[11:30] <finalbeta> can I get surround sound in rhythmbox?
[11:30] <MrWoo> jrib: do i really have to go that slow?
[11:30] <zcat[1] > jrib: 16x works.. just not 52x :-)
[11:30] <jrib> MrWoo: bootable cd's that are burnt at higher speeds end up as coasters sometimes
[11:31] <lamego> hakanw, when I need to do that I manually change the file owner making sure it belongs to the web server group
[11:31] <mwe> johlin: what are you doing, exactly?
[11:31] <aunes> MrWoo: I had to burn at 8x for mine to work.
[11:31] <hakanw> lamego: so the solution is to let some other group own this, but let anyone execute/read, right?
[11:31] <kalosaurusrex> aunes: me too
[11:31] <johlin> mwe: ./bootstrap, as it says.
[11:31] <MrWoo> allright
[11:31] <kalosaurusrex> so it might me ~/.mozilla/firefox
[11:31] <kalosaurusrex> mine is..
[11:31] <mwe> johlin: as what says?
[11:31] <MrWoo> this will be the 4th CD i've turned into a coaster
[11:31] <_ShoGo_> can anyone please tell me how to uninstall a game installed from an *.sh?
[11:31] <MrWoo> i whish I would've been warned about htat
[11:31] <kalosaurusrex> _ShoGo_: what game?
[11:31] <_ShoGo_> legends
[11:31] <johlin> mwe: a guide I'm following. I just found out that this is a problem with dos line endings, and that I should use dos2unix, but that command doesn't exist
[11:32] <lamego> hakanw, if you need a group to change the files, you need to make sure they are group owned by a given group which will include all the users that will need to access the files, on this case www-data to make sure they will also be read by the apache process
[11:32] <kalosaurusrex> _ShoGo_: where can i look at the script?
[11:32] <mwe> johlin: perl -pi -e 's/\r\n$/\n/' dos.txt
[11:32] <_ShoGo_> well
[11:32] <_ShoGo_> wait a moment
[11:32] <johlin> mwe: and I replace dos.txt with bootstrap?
[11:32] <_ShoGo_> http://legendsthegame.net/
[11:33] <_ShoGo_> this is the official web
[11:33] <mwe> johlin: yeah
[11:33] <jrib> MrWoo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=13145 if your problem returns, this thread has some things you can try
[11:33] <johlin> mwe: thanks. that worked. you're my hero
[11:33] <Lorri> Since, I dislike GIMP, how can I use Adobe Photoshop CS2 on Ubuntu?
[11:34] <Lorri> Will a normal package of WINE work?
[11:34] <johlin> I need automake 1.7, but 1.4 is the latest in the ubuntu respositories, should I compile a new one?
[11:34] <johlin> oh
[11:34] <lamego> _ShoGo_, there is no generic procedure for files install from a script, you will need to look at the script for the files and where they were installed
[11:34] <mwe> Lob-Sogular: you can't
[11:34] <kalosaurusrex> _ShoGo_: whoa
[11:34] <johlin> nevermind, 1.7 does exist
[11:34] <_ShoGo_> well
[11:34] <kalosaurusrex> cool looking game..HUGE script though..
[11:34] <lamego> johlin, there is automake1.9 on the ubuntu repos
[11:34] <mwe> Lorri: you can't use photoshop cs2 unless you run it under vmware
[11:34] <_ShoGo_> u mean i have to learn the programming language it is written from?
[11:34] <_ShoGo_> kalosaurusrex, nobody is playing, NEVER :D
[11:35] <skavenge> photoshop has a history of not liking linux
[11:35] <lamego> _ShoGo_, it is a shell script, yes you will need to understand it
[11:35] <skavenge> its not gonna run at all in wine
[11:35] <Alethes> heh -- looks like an icewm theme I created years ago is available in a ubuntu package *beam*
[11:35] <johlin> I've tried with both 1.7 and 1.9 installed, but it still tells me: Automake 1.7 or above is required. Aborting build...
[11:35] <kalosaurusrex> _ShoGo_: lol good to know.  i'm downloading it.  it will take me a min.  if it puts it all in the same place shouldn't be a problem.
[11:35] <Lorri> mwe what's vmware?
[11:35] <mwe> Lorri: you can't expect to be able to run all your favorite windows programs in linux, unfortunately
[11:35] <grimboy> Lorri, That's a shame maybe you'll like gimpshop (http://www.gimpshop.net/)
[11:35] <_ShoGo_> i just know pascal programming :'(
[11:35] <JW> How can I determine which video board is in the system?  My system runs Ubuntu slow, but Knoppix fast  Why?
[11:35] <ZeZu> photoshop is pretty damn intense on gdi
[11:35] <_ShoGo_> kalosaurusrex, nice connection mate :D
[11:35] <Lorri> Well, I just saw this
[11:35] <mwe> Lorri: it's a virtual machine. it's costs money and you install windows inside it
[11:35] <Lorri> http://www.deviantart.com/view/29001499/
[11:36] <_ShoGo_> I mean, nice internet connection, if it only lasts a min for u
[11:36] <ZeZu> vmware emulates the pc so you could install windows on this emulated pc
[11:36] <_ShoGo_> im sorry about my english
[11:36] <ZeZu> and run windows apps in windows in a window hehe
[11:36] <lamego> JW, did you tried to setup the proper 3d driver for your video card ?
[11:36] <mwe> Lorri: you need a vmware licence and windows licence to do it
[11:36] <Lorri> oh
[11:36] <kalosaurusrex> _ShoGo_: lol i wish.  it will be a few min.
[11:36] <JW> lamego, no
[11:36] <lamego> you dont need a vmware license, you can use the player
[11:36] <_ShoGo_> well, i'll wait for u then
[11:36] <mwe> Lorri: and a few hours of work
[11:36] <grimboy> Lorri, Have you tried gimpshop at all?
[11:37] <Lorri> No, just normal gimp
[11:37] <JW> lamego, I think my video card is a Trident Cyberblade=i1
[11:37] <mwe> gimpshop?
[11:37] <goonies> anyone using a dell 2005fpw monitor by any chance
[11:37] <hakanw> lamego: ok, I'm kinda new to the whole unix permissions thing, but I'm trying... this is how it looks right now: --wxrwxr-x 1 www-data hakan  567 2006-07-02 22:34 index.html
[11:37] <lamego> JW, sorry, can't help your with that card
[11:37] <Lorri> How does GRUB react to a Vista installation?
[11:37] <grimboy> gimpshop.net
[11:37] <_ShoGo_> Lorri, i think it will surely get angry
[11:37] <_ShoGo_> xD
[11:38] <lamego> hakanw, your change is not correct, www-data should be the group not the user, on the ownership
[11:38] <Lorri> Yeah
[11:38] <Lorri> :[
[11:38] <lamego> hakanw, chown -R root:www-data /var/www
[11:38] <Lorri> Well, I can get used to gimp
[11:38] <_ShoGo_> Vista will erase grub, i think u will have to reinstall it
[11:38] <Lorri> it's just that
[11:38] <gabo> I have a 5.1 dolby sound system. with a C-media 8738, and my subwoofer does not  sound
[11:38] <kalosaurusrex> _ShoGo_: honextly you may want to hit up their irc channel..
[11:38] <Lorri> when it reads my older .psd's
[11:38] <hakanw> lamego: ok, thanks
[11:38] <_ShoGo_> but i cant remember how u can do that
[11:38] <Lorri> there's a lot of effects left out
[11:38] <skavenge> whoo im gonna check this gimpshop out looks pretty slick, though i dont mind the gimp
[11:38] <Lorri> _ShoGo_ I meant when GRUB is put ontop of the Vista boot
[11:39] <finalbeta> can I get surround sound in rhythmbox?
[11:39] <_ShoGo_> kalosaurusrex, i didnt notice they had one
[11:39] <Lorri> Triple Boot XP-Ubuntu-Vista
[11:39] <_ShoGo_> im gonna look for it
[11:39] <gabo> send a private message if you can help me
[11:39] <gabo>  have a 5.1 dolby sound system. with a C-media 8738, and my subwoofer does not  sound
[11:39] <_ShoGo_> Lorri, i think it wont happen nothing bad to your system then..
[11:39] <mwe> Lorri: I suppose grub will handle vista fine, basically like win xp

[11:41] <lamego> Yannig, try #Ubuntu+1 , and is a bit early to report problems on edgy :P
[11:41] <_ShoGo_> Creo que esta gente se va a enfadar si hablamos en espaol
[11:41] <_ShoGo_> kalosaurusrex, nobody is answering.. as i expected
[11:41] <mwe> Lorri: the mbr is a boot sector btw
[11:41] <kalosaurusrex> _ShoGo_: no worries.  sorry I couldn't help more.
[11:41] <Lorri> ah ok

[11:42] <_ShoGo_> kalosaurusrex, doesn't matter mate :)
[11:42] <mwe> reemusk: what did it say?
[11:42] <reemusk> mwe: it Rx'd no packets, but Tx'd 12 with no errors..interesting i tried to pring some websites, and got "host name not found"
[11:42] <gabo> mi subwoofer has no sound
[11:42] <mwe> reemusk: you haven't told me if sudo ifconfig shows your interface
[11:43] <Syco54645> how can i force something to the front with wine?  i am running a game and i am seeing my gnome panels
[11:43] <reemusk> mwe: define interface...i'm confused about that
[11:43] <mwe> Syco54645: bind a key to enter full screen
[11:43] <mwe> reemusk: interface is your network card
[11:44] <exile> my installer for the alternate install cd of ubuntu 6.06 freezes at the disk partitioner(it doesn't show up)
[11:44] <Syco54645> mwe: i am running the game fullscreen.  it changes the resolution and then i can still see myt bars
[11:44] <reemusk> mwe: pwnt! i need to check that
[11:44] <mwe> Syco54645: hmm
[11:44] <reemusk> mwe: should it show the name of my NIC?
[11:44] <mwe> reemusk: nah not exactly
[11:44] <Syco54645> mwe: i am thinking of maybe just running it in a different window manager, just so that i could get the biggest bang out of it.
[11:44] <mwe> reemusk: is it wifi or ethernet or what?
[11:44] <foiker> hi ppl....I tried googling on how to get RAR support but I couldnt get any help from ubuntuguide or another site...anyone can tip me ?
[11:45] <reemusk> mwe: ethernet...ADSL external modem
[11:45] <Syco54645> mwe: is there a way to force wine to move stuff to the very top?
[11:45] <lamego> exile, you can switch to the debug consoles using CTRTL-F1, F2... it could give you some more details on the problem
[11:45] <varsendaggr> is there a way ot allow wine to use a port   ?
[11:45] <mwe> Syco54645: there is a way to force gnome to force the wine window to the top but I use kde. sorry

[11:46] <kalosaurusrex> IRCFrEAK: hmm.  not sure if there is a diff with xubuntu.
[11:46] <IRCFrEAK> i used to just put his password in for the sudo command
[11:46] <foiker> IRCFreak ...Ubuntu will ask you to grant root privz when needed : If ya want you can sudo su to get a root shell
[11:46] <kalosaurusrex> IRCFrEAK: cat /etc/sudoers
[11:47] <Bassetts> how can i stop my ftp client seeing files with ~ on the end ?? it keeps uploading them
[11:47] <IRCFrEAK> but i found him playing around, so i took his admin away and added myself
[11:47] <IRCFrEAK> i forgot to five myself admin
[11:47] <skavenge> ouch
[11:47] <kalosaurusrex> IRCFrEAK: coh
[11:47] <kalosaurusrex> IRCFrEAK: doh
[11:47] <lamego> Bassetts, that depends on the ftp client you are using
[11:47] <mwe> IRCFrEAK: boot to recovery mode and add yourself to the admin group
[11:47] <jb_> Vorweg:
[11:47] <jb_> diese Mail hat rein gar nichts damit zu tun, dass ich als Mod den Beitrag im Mlleimer gefunden habe. Ich hatte ihn schon im Thread vorher gelesen und berlegt, wie ich darauf reagiere. Deine Bitte, ihn zurckzuziehen, lies es berhaupt erst zu einer  PN kommen. Ansonsten htte Dir darauf jemand anders geantwortet.
[11:47] <jb_> 
[11:47] <jb_> Nun zur Sache:
[11:47] <jb_> Diesmal hast Du den Bogen deutlich berspannt.
[11:47] <jb_> Da Du jedoch selber darum gebeten hast, das wieder zu entfernen, werde ich es nicht gro aufhngen. Bedenke jedoch, dass ich nicht der Seppel vom Dienst bin, an dem man seinen Frust auslassen kann.
[11:47] <jb_> Hast Du dazu irgendwas zu sagen?

[11:47] <jb_> sorry
[11:47] <jb_> my mistake
[11:48] <foiker> Guys anyone can gimme a tip on who to deal with the RAR case ?
[11:48] <lamego> RAR case ?
[11:48] <kalosaurusrex> foiker:  ?
[11:48] <mwe> foiker: rar files?
[11:48] <foiker> cant get rar to open
[11:48] <lamego> !rar
[11:48] <hyphenated> !rar
[11:48] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FileCompression
[11:48] <Bassetts> lamego: fireftp and gftp
[11:48] <hyphenated> Bassetts: or stop using an editor that creates files with those names
[11:49] <Bassetts> gedit...
[11:49] <lamego> Bassetts, I don't believe gftp has such an option, I dont know aboure fireftp
[11:49] <Bassetts> i love gedit
[11:49] <kalosaurusrex> i dislike gtftp A LOT
[11:49] <kalosaurusrex> gftp
[11:49] <lamego> Bassetts, files ending with ~ are just usual files for a ftp client
[11:49] <hawkaloogie> Bassetts, you can get gedit to stop making those backups
[11:49] <Bassetts> kalosaurusrex: i use fireftp most, but if that crashes then gftp
[11:49] <foiker> thankz ppl :)
[11:49] <Bassetts> hawkaloogie: how
[11:49] <lamego> I use nautilus for ftp
[11:50] <hawkaloogie> Bassetts, it's in the config somewhere
[11:50] <kalosaurusrex> Bassetts: i want a stable ftp.  i use fireftp, unless i have to do an image then i use terminal. ugh
[11:50] <Bassetts> ok thanks mate
[11:50] <Bassetts> hawkaloogie: your in css arent you
[11:50] <hyphenated> there's an option.. Edit -> Preferences, Editor tab
[11:50] <kalosaurusrex> Bassetts: someone needs to make a better one..
[11:50] <kalosaurusrex> imv
[11:50] <Bassetts> kalosaurusrex: i agree, i do miss smartftp
[11:50] <hawkaloogie> Bassetts, since nicknames are the same across an entire network... yes?
[11:50] <adwr> kalosaurusrex: Whats wrong with gftp?
[11:50] <docko> is there any non-gui utility to install firewall on ubuntu? something like guarddog for gnome
[11:50] <hawkaloogie> adwr, random lockups?
[11:50] <kalosaurusrex> adwr: whenever i try and do more than like 100 filesish it crashes.
[11:51] <Bassetts> hawkaloogie: heh just wondered if it was you, might of been similar names :P
[11:51] <kalosaurusrex> hawkaloogie: *nod*
[11:51] <hawkaloogie> adwr, more specifically: lockups when it tries to get directory trees without providing a dialog to cancel
[11:51] <adwr> oh....havent tried that
[11:51] <adwr> hawkaloogie: ok
[11:51] <hawkaloogie> adwr, there are certain operations you'll see a "Getting directories..." dialog. certain others you won't and then it'll just stop working altogether
[11:51] <kalosaurusrex> very unstable if you plan on doing several hundred/thousand files, dir.
[11:52] <hawkaloogie> might be a good thing for me to get my feet wet on... hmm...
[11:52] <Bassetts> hawkaloogie: found the option, thans
[11:52] <mwe> lftp
[11:52] <kalosaurusrex> hawkaloogie: python?
[11:52] <hawkaloogie> kalosaurusrex, hacking gftp, i don't know what it's written in
[11:52] <kalosaurusrex> eh sorry offtopic.
[11:52] <kalosaurusrex> hawkaloogie: well lemme know how it works out :P)
[11:55] <Eazy-> anyone have the X-Sys_2 script working? ....my gfx is does not advertise correctly

[11:59] <MalMen> i want turn on my 2 screens, what can i do ? i am using a laptop
[11:59] <lamego> the player only allows to "run" virtual machines, while the workstation version allows to create them and much more
[11:59] <cybercobra> my desktop installer is stuck after step 3. any advice?
[11:59] <lamego> but the player is good enough for most of the cases, specially if you only need to run a specific set of applications inside Linux
