[12:01] <hawkaloogie> neutrinomass, it's a pity really
[12:01] <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?
[12:01] <neutrinomass> hawkaloogie: Hm... it's in C, right ?
[12:01] <hawkaloogie> neutrinomass, that's what it says
[12:02] <kylewp> Has anyone successfully configured a linksys wmp54g wireless card in ubuntu?
[12:02] <hawkaloogie> neutrinomass, i'm going to check it out tomorrow and poke around, knowing no C ;-)
[12:02] <cybercobra> my desktop installer is stuck after step 3. any advice?
[12:02] <kylewp> mine got stuck once, i just restarted it
[12:02] <tim> anyone know about running a headless ubuntu box and managing it over a serial port? the only doc I have found so far was about sun boxes.
[12:02] <neutrinomass> hawkaloogie: Ok, interesting ;) I'm sort of looking for a project right now, so fixing all gftp crashes might be a good idea. Computer broke down though, so it will be a while :(
[12:03] <kylewp> Has anyone successfully configured a linksys wmp54g wireless card in ubuntu?
[12:03] <hakanw> how do I change the host name ?
[12:03] <cybercobra> kylewp: yeah, i'm rebooting now. just checking if it was something else
[12:03] <lamego> cybercobra, what is the step 3 ? Trying with the alternate CD is always a good option
[12:03] <hawkaloogie> neutrinomass, if you can put up with my horrible schedule, i'm sure we can help fix these things together
[12:03] <lamego> kylewp, repeating will not help :)
[12:03] <kylewp> cybercobra: make sure you reformat before you start the install again.
[12:04] <kylewp> in the partitioning stage, that is
[12:04] <neutrinomass> hawkaloogie: File reports at launchpad ;) ?
[12:04] <lamego> hakanw, edit /etc/hostname
[12:05] <lamego> and make sure the host is also on /etc/hosts
[12:05] <hakanw> of course :)
[12:05] <hakanw> thanks
[12:05] <alink1000> I have a question.
[12:05] <hakanw> I've learned so much today
[12:05] <hakanw> unix without gui is becoming nicer by the minute
[12:05] <lamego> :)
[12:05] <alink1000> Instead of burning it to a DVD, since I don't have a DVD burner, is there a way that I can burn Ubuntu onto multiple CDs, instead?
[12:05] <tylersmith> Realplayer is not available for AMD 64! What can I use with Dapper as an alternative?
[12:05] <JW> On a system with a ATI Radeon 9100 video card, How can I increase the screen relolution beyond 1024x768 @61Hz?
[12:06] <alink1000> As, my Ubuntu CD should come soon, but I don't feel like waiting.
[12:06] <skavenge> alink1000: dapper is only one cd
[12:06] <hawkaloogie> neutrinomass, since it'll translate to gnome's upstream, why not
[12:06] <lamego> alink1000, Ubuntu comes on a CD
[12:06] <alink1000> yeah, but I don't wanna wait for it. :P
[12:06] <kylewp> Has anyone gotten a wireless card to work in ubuntu?
[12:06] <alink1000> and it comes in .iso
[12:06] <finalbeta> ofcourse
[12:06] <skavenge> alink1000: you can download the cd iso off ubuntu's website
[12:06] <alink1000> .iso is DVD rom burning
[12:06] <skavenge> .iso is cd and dvd hah
[12:06] <alink1000> CD iso...? I thought it was DVD iso.
[12:06] <alink1000> :S
[12:06] <lamego> alink1000, not it is not, iso is an image, it can be CD or DVD
[12:06] <alink1000> oh
[12:07] <alink1000> but I tried to burn it, and it didn't work
[12:07] <alink1000> and I booted it up, and it didn't boot up the installation. :S
[12:07] <hakanw> lamego: is 127.0.1.1   hostname
[12:07] <hakanw> lamego: ok?
[12:07] <lamego> download from the official site and make sure the media is fine
[12:07] <hakanw> lamego: or do I have to have the second word also after hostname
[12:07] <lamego> hakanw, yes
[12:07] <skavenge> user error, it definitely works that way .. burn slow and check the md5 sum
[12:07] <kylewp> Has anyone gotten a wireless card to work in ubuntu 6.06?
[12:07] <lamego> the short hostname is ok
[12:07] <alink1000> I tried burning to a CD from the .iso, then I tried to burn the single files and folders in there.
[12:07] <hakanw> because I had two words there, slightly different
[12:07] <hakanw> ok
[12:08] <alink1000> neither worked
[12:08] <finalbeta> kylewp, I've gotten a WPC54G card to work, but only in B mode :/
[12:08] <alink1000> but I guess I can try again
[12:08] <J_P> hey all, I think I find a bug in ubuntu dapper : I try in /usr/src do this : tar -xvf <TAB> <TAB>. the first <TAB> complete line with this : root@concord:/usr/src# tar -xvf linux-source-2.6.15.tar, but second <TAB> not show nothing and congeals the terminal, but in anoteher temirnal i was running top and I see that first terminal where I set two times <TAB> using 99% of cpu. and machine was reaaly very slowest. That is a bug ?
[12:08] <lamego> kylewp, I did and a lot of other people
[12:08] <alink1000> I'll tell if it doesn't work.
[12:08] <alink1000> brb
[12:08] <kylewp> finalbeta: did you use ndiswrapper?
[12:08] <finalbeta> noah, it's using a BCM or something chipset, that one is supported
[12:09] <J_P> after 35 seconds second <TAB> show root@concord:/usr/src# tar -xvf linux-source-2.6.15.tar  linux-source-2.6.15/
[12:09] <hakanw> er
[12:09] <hakanw> lamego: sudo: unable to lookup c213-89-56-98 via gethostbyname()
[12:09] <hakanw> :/
[12:09] <kylewp> finalbeta: so it worked right out of the box?
[12:09] <tim> anyone know about running a headless ubuntu box and managing it over a serial port? the only doc I have found so far was about sun boxes.
[12:09] <finalbeta> kylewp, hell no
[12:09] <hakanw> (that's what I removed, to change to my custom name)
[12:09] <finalbeta> kylewp, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[12:09] <hakanw> crap
[12:09] <lamego> hakanw, did you removed entries from /etc/hosts ?
[12:09] <hakanw> I can't use sudo now
[12:09] <kylewp> finalbeta: thanks
[12:09] <finalbeta> kylewp, for others you use NDISWrapper, but it should work.
[12:09] <lamego> did you added c213-89-56-98 to /etc/hosts ?
[12:09] <Insomnia2> hi i have a problem with x booting
[12:10] <finalbeta> can I get surround sound in rhythmbox?
[12:10] <lamego> hakanw, boot from the cd use the recovery mode and you can fix it
[12:10] <hakanw> lamego: I thought that was just a symbolic name, so changed it to 127.0.1.1 foobar
[12:10] <Insomnia2> i looked in the log but I dont know how to decipher it
[12:10] <hakanw> whereas it was 127.0.1.1 c213.. 213.. before
[12:10] <kylewp> finalbeta: is this some sort of a reversed engineered driver?
[12:10] <void^> J_P: it's bash completion trying to figure out what further tar options might be reasonable, extracting the tar.gz in the process
[12:10] <kylewp> finalbeta: i know linksys doesn't do crap to help ppl using linux
[12:10] <lamego> hakanw, grrr, I said to add it, not to change the other hone :P
[12:10] <hakanw> lamego: damn, I only have access remotely atm :/
[12:10] <lamego> one
[12:10] <lamego> hakanw, have you changed the /etc/hostname on the firstplace ?
[12:11] <hakanw> lamego: yes
[12:11] <Insomnia2> some thing that concerns me are "ADUIT: timestamp 4288 X: client 1 rejected from local host"
[12:11] <Insomnia2> i'm assumign thats bad but can anyone help me out?
[12:11] <lamego> but well, if you didn't add the entry on hosts as expected I guess you can't do much right now
[12:11] <xcham_> anyone have experience setting up nvidia drivers on amd64?
[12:12] <hakanw> lamego: why does sudo need network access anyway ?
[12:12] <neutrinomass> J_P: Does it happen consistently? It could have happened just for a moment because of other I/O going on ...
[12:12] <mirak> why webmin doesn't exist in ubuntu ?
[12:12] <mirak> is it normal that recovery mode isn't protected by a password ?
[12:12] <lamego> hakanw, he doesn't, thats just a security rule
[12:12] <digital_> I need help burning double layer dvd's on Dapper
[12:12] <hakanw> lamego: hm, ok
[12:12] <Seveas> mirak, because webmin is unsafe, unmaintained in debian and plain icky
[12:13] <Seveas> mirak, and yes, that is normal unless you set a root password
[12:13] <mirak> Seveas: it was usefull to do some stuffs
[12:13] <hakanw> lamego: so you saw my output now (that I mangled the second line in /etc/hosts) ... no way to fix it without physical access to the server?
[12:13] <Seveas> ompaul is going bananas!
[12:13] <J_P> void^: this ocurred only with user jpsuser. User jpsuser is one user with root userid and gid : root@concord:~# cat /etc/passwd | grep -i jpsuser
[12:13] <J_P> jpsuser:x:0:0:,,,:/home/jpsuser:/bin/bash.
[12:13] <J_P> Using normal root user: sudo -i this problem I don't have!
[12:13] <mirak> Seveas: I mean from grub nothing prevent to boot in single user
[12:13] <ompaul> J_P, don't paste, thanks
[12:13] <gnomefreak> lol
[12:13] <Lisoe> hi
[12:13] <Seveas> mirak, correct
[12:13] <JW> How much RAM does Ubuntu want to run without memory swap?
[12:13] <lamego> J_P, the bash file completion is such an old code that I dont believe it is buggy, I guess there is some other problem during the file listing on your system
[12:14] <digital_> Seveas: what's this about webmin not beeing safe?
[12:14] <Seveas> if you set a root password it will be asked, otherwise not
[12:14] <Seveas> digital_, can...open...worms...everywhere...
[12:14] <lamego> JW, is always a good practice to use swap memory
[12:14] <digital_> Seaveas: What? I have know idea what you are talking about.
[12:14] <Lisoe> i want to give a windows-machine read- and write-access to a folder on my linux-box. how can i do that?
[12:14] <Bassetts> how can i encrypt a file and password protect a folder
[12:15] <J_P> lamego: did you look my last message to void^ ? look please.. I'm not using real root user ..
[12:15] <lamego> digital_, if you know what he is talking about, that means you are not a candidate to use webmin at all :)
[12:15] <digital_> Seaveas: I use Webmin and have never had any problems with it. Well, docuentation may be lacking for modules but that's abou tit
[12:15] <digital_> it
[12:15] <void^> J_P: i can reproduce the behaviour with any user and any (large) tar.gz file.
[12:15] <reemusk> anyone want to follow up with me? mwe was helping me with an issue with my connection
[12:15] <Seveas> digital_, it has quite a lot of security 'issues'
[12:15] <digital_> Seveas: Like what?
[12:16] <xcham_> anyone? Nvidia drivers on amd64?
[12:16] <Seveas> like leaky modules
[12:16] <xcham_> running glxgears just gets me
[12:16] <xcham_> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[12:16] <xcham_> Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
[12:16] <J_P> void^: so, how I resolv this ?
[12:17] <mukund> Bassetts: you can use gpg for encrypting files
[12:17] <Bassetts> !encryption
[12:17] <ubotu> I know nothing about encryption
[12:17] <Bassetts> ooh, thanks mukund
[12:17] <kalosaurusrex> !pgp
[12:17] <mukund> man gpg
[12:17] <ubotu> I know nothing about pgp
[12:17] <Bassetts> how about passwording folders
[12:17] <digital_> Seveas: Well, I'm not a programmer so I don't know anything about leaky modules? What I do know is that webmin has saved me more then once. If there is a security issue then only allow connections from you internal netwrok
[12:17] <kalosaurusrex> !gpg
[12:17] <ubotu> gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto
[12:17] <digital_> or localhost
[12:17] <kalosaurusrex> so close
[12:17] <void^> J_P: don't use tab when inappropriate, or disable bash_completion, or modify bash_completion to not work with tar.
[12:17] <JW> lamego, I defined swap memory,  If the system doesn't use it should run faster, Yes?  How much RAM for Ubuntu to minimize Swaping?
[12:17] <ompaul> digital_, is it over https?
[12:17] <mukund> man this channel is too bus
[12:17] <mukund> y
[12:17] <digital_> ompaul: Sure
[12:18] <mukund> is there an ubuntu developers channel?
[12:18] <mirak> Seveas: the password is asked when booting to safe mode ???
[12:18] <digital_> ompaul: but you have to turn that on most of the time
[12:18] <lamego> JW, drecreasing the swap size does not minimize swaping, Linux only uses swap memory when it needs,
[12:18] <mirak> mirak: ho you mean in grub probably
[12:18] <ompaul> digital_, let me put this another way, we can discuss webmin in #ubuntu-oftopic it is not a direct support issue so lets leave it out
[12:18] <digital_> ok
[12:18] <reemusk> anyone want to follow up with me? mwe was helping me with an issue with my connection
[12:18] <ompaul> digital_, I want to answer a few questions :-)
[12:19] <J_P> void^: but with root user this not ocurred, so I would like know how root user can do two times TAB without problems and copy this config to anothers users.. understand ?
[12:19] <skavenge> anyway to turn off all the movie info in gxine when playing in a window? (the bitrate, name of file, time left, etc)
[12:19] <ompaul> mukund, please ask your question, if it is developer based we will point you to the correct forum to take it up
[12:19] <Subhuman> hey, does anyone know how to reverse stereo in ubuntu?
[12:19] <ompaul> mukund, if we have an answer you get it
[12:19] <mukund> ompaul: no i want to join a developer channel
[12:19] <finalbeta> can I get surround sound in rhythmbox?
[12:19] <Lisoe> i want to give a windows-machine read- and write-access to a folder on my linux-box. how can i do that?
[12:19] <mukund> that's my question.. what is the developer channel so i can join it
[12:19] <digital_> ompaul: maybe you can answer my question
[12:20] <ompaul> mukund, then you start by joining #ubuntu-motu
[12:20] <mukund> thanks
[12:20] <void^> J_P: which config files are run depends on how the shell is started, and what files are present in a user's home directory
[12:20] <Hakker> does anyone might have an Epia EN15000 and Ubuntu running besides me?
[12:21] <digital_> How do I get double layer DVD support in ubuntu dapper? I need the 6.1 version of dvd+rw-tools
[12:21] <ompaul> !timetable
[12:21] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more.
[12:22] <JW> lamego, Why does my Ubuntu system runs slower than under Mandriva?  Why is the screen reslolution lower also?
[12:22] <johlin> why do I get this error? configure.in:61: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_OPTIONS_WXCONFIG
[12:22] <johlin>       If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
[12:22] <johlin>       See the Autoconf documentation.
[12:22] <chaos_of_apocaly> can anyone help me??i have a service called bootpc listening on port udp 68 and i would like to remove it....
[12:22] <ompaul> digital_, read that page that ubotu put up, and then /msg ubotu compiling
[12:22] <J_P> void^: diference between jp user and root is that in jp user I do sudo -i to be root. and using root user I'm don't have problem!
[12:22] <ompaul> johlin, what are you trying to compile
[12:22] <lamego> !resolution
[12:22] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:22] <J_P> void^: so I would like works in normal user as in root..
[12:23] <MalMen> how to can i setting up my second monitor ?
[12:23] <nofear> hola :D
[12:23] <johlin> ompaul: code::blocks
[12:23] <MalMen> i am using ati mobile radeon 9700
[12:23] <lamego> JW, about the performance in general If your system is hw limited maybe xubuntu is a better option,
[12:23] <chaos_of_apocaly> i have a service called bootpc listening on port udp 68.can anyone tell me hoe to disable it?
[12:24] <void^> J_P: err, i don't see enough of a problem to bother with figuring out exactly what causes the difference in behaviour now. i'm just saying bash completion is the cause, and how to fix it is up to a bunch of man pages and config files
[12:24] <digital_> ubotu: I looked at the page. Now how do I compile dvd+rw-tools 6.1 for dapper
[12:24] <ubotu> I know nothing about I looked at the page. Now how do I compile dvd+rw-tools 6.1 for dapper
[12:24] <Subhuman> digital_, ubotu is a bot XD
[12:24] <reemusk> okay...i'm getting 255.255.255.255 when i run sudo dhclient eth0  and then i'm getting "no dhcpoffers recieved" and no working leases in persistent database....what can I do? I can't connect with my external modem
[12:24] <skavenge> ubotu is a bot buddy
[12:25] <skavenge> !ping
[12:25] <ubotu> pong
[12:25] <skavenge> ;)
[12:25] <JW> lamego, Is 2.4 GHz dual processor with 1GB ram hardware limited?
[12:25] <digital_> Subhuman: Thanks for the info :-)
[12:25] <Subhuman> JW, no
[12:25] <digital_> ubotu: compiling
[12:25] <J_P> void^: but why this problem don't have with root user ?
[12:25] <Subhuman> JW, ive had ubuntu working on a 800mhz 256mb setup.
[12:25] <ashzilla> Seveas, do you know much about VMware?
[12:25] <Subhuman> digital_, what are you trying to do?
[12:25] <Consty> dang, openoffice database doesn't support microsoft mdb?
[12:25] <skavenge> !compiling > digital_
[12:25] <johlin> !ping > skavenge
[12:25] <void^> J_P: because a shell behaves differently when called differently and with different user directories.
[12:26] <ompaul> johlin, Install the development package for wxGTK (usually called wxGTK-devel). This will install the missing wxwin.m4 file. (at least that is what I found when I researched it) so I suggest you add universe and that and then do apt-cache search wxgtk -- or use a native ide
[12:26] <digital_> subhuman: I'm trying to burn a double layer DVD in Dapper
[12:26] <Subhuman> digital_, if you want to compile you need the package "build-essential"
[12:26] <Seveas> ashzilla, I know it works fine on my system 
[12:26] <Subhuman> digital_, in what app?
[12:26] <lamego> JW, no, I have a much older equipment and I dont have any performance issuess, that means you will need to identify where is the performance problem on your system
[12:26] <digital_> subhuman: In any app
[12:27] <J_P> void^: what config I need do to have equal config in normal user as in root user ?
[12:27] <JW> lamego, How?
[12:27] <ashzilla> Seveas, could you recommend me to a guide or HowTo on how to share Linux files across a Windows VMserver installation?
[12:27] <Subhuman> digital_, have you tried k3b?
[12:27] <digital_> subhuman: I did some searching and found that i need dvd+rw-tools 6.1
[12:27] <Seveas> ashzilla, nfs or samba
[12:27] <Seveas> well actually
[12:27] <Seveas> only samba
[12:27] <Lisoe> i want to give a windows-machine read- and write-access to a folder on my linux-box. how can i do that?
[12:27] <Seveas> nfs won't work on win 
[12:27] <Seveas> Lisoe, with samba
[12:27] <Subhuman> digital_, open the terminal and type "sudo apt-get install dvd+rw-tools"
[12:28] <lamego> JW, well, first you will need to identify what is "slow", is it slow reading frm the disk, slow updating the screen ? slow when you do what ?
[12:28] <Jeeves__> hello, can someone advise me on using SSH to remote into a ubuntu box?
[12:28] <lamego> Jeeves__, install openssh-server on the remote box
[12:28] <digital_> Subhuman: I have that. It's version 5 something
[12:28] <ashzilla> Seveas, I'm trying to import files that are on my Linux partition so that I can run .mp3s in Windows - I got sound working, but all of my .mp3s/.mp4s are on my Linux partition
[12:28] <Lisoe> yeah, i'm trying now
[12:28] <Lisoe> thing is, i don't know what i'm doing
[12:28] <MatthewV> Jeeves__, and then use ssh user@server to access it
[12:28] <ompaul> Jeeves__, ssh -C username@otherbox - from windos install putty and use that
[12:28] <lamego> and then just connect to it using the Places -> Connect to server, or from the command line
[12:29] <lamego> if you need file transfer over ssh from windows, try winscp or filezilla
[12:29] <JW> lamego, "slow" updating the screen on one system and low screen resolution on another.
[12:29] <Lisoe> i've made a folder and added it in the "shared folders"-thing under system -> administration
[12:29] <reemusk> i'm getting 255.255.255.255 when i run sudo dhclient eth0  and then i'm getting "no dhcpoffers recieved" and no working leases in persistent database....what can I do? I can't connect with my external modem
[12:29] <lamego> !resolution > JW
[12:29] <Subhuman> digital_, ahh so you want to compile the newest version, have you ever compiled before? if not "sudo apt-get install build-essential" and then tell me if you get stuck, the tar'd file to download should ghave a text file called "INSTALL" which will explain how to compile.
[12:29] <Jeeves__> hello lamego, I have, I got it all working ok but when i remote in it takes ages to ask me for a password
[12:29] <johlin> ompaul: I already had those libwxgtk-packages installed, but I tried installing an older version also.
[12:29] <catch23> anyone know why cat /proc/mdstat might cause the command to hang?
[12:29] <Consty> Anyone know a way to edit mdb files with openoffice?
[12:29] <lamego> and also make sure you are using the 3d accelarated driver for your card
[12:29] <lamego> Jeeves__, is the dns properly configured on the remote server ?
[12:29] <J_P> void^: beouse this is totally insecure, becouse in normal user can use 100% of cpu using only two TABs!!
[12:29] <ompaul> johlin, well then you will break packages and their dependancy
[12:30] <hctibtipots> how do you setup a dsl connection???
[12:30] <Jeeves__> when you say properly configured?
[12:30] <digital_> Subhuman: I've compiled before. I don't want to though. I would like a binary so I can upgrade it when a new Ubuntu package comes out.

[12:30] <ompaul> johlin, you are exploring new and interesting ways
[12:30] <Jeeves__> sometimes it works and other times not
[12:30] <lamego> J_P, it is normal on unix/linux system to take up to 100% of the cpu, you can limit that by using PAM limits, if you really see a problem there
[12:30] <johlin> ompaul: so I should remove them and reinstall the newer ones?
[12:30] <Insomnia2> hct, do you have a dsl modem installed in your computer, or  are you connecting to the dsl connection through a seperate dsl router?
[12:30] <Subhuman> digital_, use checkinstall
[12:30] <eric___> Would somebody be willing to help me with a grub/boot question?
[12:30] <baconbacon> ubotu tell hctibtipots about dsl
[12:30] <Subhuman> !checkinstall
[12:30] <ubotu> checkinstall is a replacement for "make install", when compiling. It will inflate a .deb package for you to install, which will then be listed in the database. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CheckInstall
[12:30] <nofear> anyone know where i can download automatix from?
[12:31] <lamego> I mean, it is usual for a normal user to be able to...
[12:31] <baconbacon> !dsl
[12:31] <digital_> Subhuman: What's that do?
[12:31] <ubotu> Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ADSLPPPoE
[12:31] <eric___> What I have is a USB hard drive (100 gig) and an ubuntu live CD.
[12:31] <Subhuman> digital_, ubotu ^
[12:31] <Jeeves__> just seems to take ages to ask for the password, then when I put it in it says connection closed
[12:31] <lamego> nofear, use easyubuntu instead, google.com for it
[12:31] <ompaul> johlin, what I would say is stay with the ones that come with your version of ubuntu so your not chasing that down as a full time job
[12:31] <hctibtipots> just the dsl modem connected through ethernetcable
[12:31] <eric___> ubuntu is installed in the second partition of that drive.
[12:31] <ompaul> !automatix
[12:31] <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.
[12:31] <Subhuman> !tell digital_ about checkinstall
[12:31] <eric___> My main hard disk belongs to my employer so I don't dare mess with it.
[12:31] <J_P> lamego: but in debian sarge for example, I dont have this problem (two TABs) !! so ?
[12:31] <digital_> ubotu: checkinstall
[12:31] <nofear> k
[12:31] <nofear> thanks
[12:31] <johlin> ompaul: okay. I guess I'll have to wait for the ubuntu package link for code::blocks to come back up then
[12:32] <eric___> What I wanna do is get the laptop to boot up the ubuntu I just installed on that drive.
[12:32] <eric___> What I've been trying to do is boot up the ubuntu live cd.
[12:32] <Dr_Willis>  please join #automatix and backup your system first. :)
[12:32] <eric___> then I select 'other options'
[12:32] <lamego> J_P, so that means there is a specific condition on your ubuntu setup which is causing the bash file autocompletation into a endless loop
[12:32] <unixslut> ?
[12:32] <eric___> Then I plug in 'root = /dev/sda/root'.
[12:32] <eric___> Bunch of text scrolls along and I get a Kernel panic.
[12:32] <ashzilla> Seveas, I'm a little confused... Does Samba transfer the files through a network?
[12:33] <eric___> Am I doing this the right way or am I way off?
[12:33] <johlin> eric__: I think you shouldn't use /dev in that path
[12:33] <johlin> eric__: I don't even know if you can boot off external devices from grub
[12:33] <eric___> johlin: So I should do 'root = /sda2/root/'?
[12:33] <void^> J_P: eh, any user can use 100% cpu time if it's available. try: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null
[12:33] <Seveas> ashzilla, yes
[12:33] <eric___> johlin: Right.
[12:33] <hctibtipots> thanx
[12:34] <hctibtipots> is there such a program in linux to convert *.avi files to dvd???
[12:34] <J_P> lamego: now I would like know how resolv this to don't have this problem in ubuntu and works with two TABs as in root user or in normal user as in sarge systems.. Could you tell me what config I need do ?
[12:34] <TimeForBears> Hello... I have an installation problem with 6.06 on dual-opteron box
[12:35] <lamego> J_P, if you believe there is a bug, post it on the ubuntu bug tracking system, https://launchpad.net/
[12:35] <digital_> ubontu checkinstall
[12:35] <lamego> J_P, but I was not able to reproduce your problem
[12:35] <Subhuman> digital_, do it like !checkinstall
[12:35] <Subhuman> !checkinstall
[12:35] <ubotu> checkinstall is a replacement for "make install", when compiling. It will inflate a .deb package for you to install, which will then be listed in the database. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CheckInstall
[12:36] <Subhuman> see?
[12:36] <digital_> !checkinstall
[12:36] <Subhuman> ive jus done it so it wont.
[12:36] <ashzilla> Seveas, then could I ever realistically use Samba to play mp3s off of iTunes?
[12:36] <J_P> lamego: why not ? I only do TAB two time in any .tar large file ;-)
[12:36] <TimeForBears> my cd boots up fine, but hangs before it gets to gnome
[12:36] <TimeForBears> literally *just* before
[12:36] <digital_> Subhuman: Thans for thin info. Looks like I have a lot of work to do.
[12:37] <lamego> J_P, how large ? file completion never hanged on me
[12:37] <Jeeves__> Ok, i just got in so it does work, there just seems to be a masive delay before asking for a password
[12:37] <eric___> Anybody else know if you can use grub to boot from a USB drive?
[12:37] <J_P> lamego: the kernel-source for example.. is is my example!
[12:37] <eric___> johlin: Is my syntax correct?
[12:37] <Subhuman> digital_, just "./configure && make && sudo checkinstall " if everything goes to plan.
[12:37] <J_P> lamego: is 254MB
[12:38] <JW> lamego, The howto you recomended is for Hoary , does it apply to my Dapper system?
[12:38] <lamego> well, report it on launchpad, i am not goind to try it with a 254MB file :P
[12:38] <digital_> Subhuman: Nice! I'll give that a go. I got the dvd+rw-tools from Edgy
[12:38] <J_P> lamego: now imagine if is one file with 5GB, my cpu will be are usage in 99% not more by 35s but more than 10 minutes..
[12:38] <johlin> eric__: I think it looks right
[12:38] <lamego> JW, depends on the howto, probably it will not
[12:38] <TimeForBears> can anyone suggest kernel options etc I might need to try?
[12:38] <eric___> johlin: I tried that and I got the same error - system choked.
[12:38] <digital_> Subhuman: I'm still waiting for the dev tools to be installed
[12:39] <johlin> eric__: but I think you have to add the harddrive in device.map, if external devices works (I don't know)
[12:39] <eric___> johnlin: "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1).
[12:39] <eric___> "
[12:39] <void^> J_P: .. and at this point you would press ctrl-c or kill the process. problem solved.
[12:39] <lamego> J_P, the tab auto completation has nothing to do with the filesize, your relation doesn't make much sense
[12:39] <johlin> eric__: look in your device.map, try adding your sda drive there and maybe it works
[12:39] <eric___> johlin: where is device.map?
[12:40] <TimeForBears> is this the right place to come to ask for help??
[12:40] <nbjayme> please help me with the cp command.... i want to include copying the hidden directories... i tried -RfP  it did not copy my hidden directories... what option must be used?
[12:40] <johlin> eric__: /boot/grub/device.map
[12:40] <Jeeves__> ok, too late, need to go to sleep, night all
[12:40] <TimeForBears> is this the right place to come to ask for help??
[12:40] <fdsd> does anyone know why mkisofs does this?  Using BLUE_001.PNG;1 for  water/pics/blue-lowerright.png (blue-lowerleft.png)
[12:40] <fdsd> ?
[12:41] <eric___> johlin: OK - I'm rebooting the live CD.
[12:41] <fdsd>  -J -r is enabled
[12:41] <OHPhoneGuy> TimeForBears, Sure!
[12:41] <TimeForBears> OHPhoneGuy.. I was starting to think I was see-through
[12:41] <TimeForBears> I've got a big problem installing 6.06
[12:42] <OHPhoneGuy> TimeForBears, Shoot...I'll try to help you as much as I can.
[12:42] <grogoreo> hi
[12:42] <docko> is there any non-gui utility to install firewall on ubuntu? something like guarddog for gnome
[12:42] <cybercobra> the desktop installer is stuck after step 3 and rebooting doesn't help. any advice?
[12:42] <TimeForBears> I've installed, and used the live CD, and the live DVD... all with the same result
[12:42] <OHPhoneGuy> TimeForBears, What's the result?
[12:42] <grogoreo> I'm trying xcompmgr and it says in the terminal "No composite extension"
[12:42] <TimeForBears> just before I get into gnome (on the live cd/dvd) and just after logging in, the screen goes dark maroon, and I see a mouse pointer
[12:43] <TimeForBears> you'd expect the bar to come up with "windows manager" etc in it, which gnome is loading.... but I dont get that, it just sits there
[12:43] <OHPhoneGuy> TimeForBears, Hrms.  That doesn't sound right.  Let me see if this is a known bug.
[12:44] <JW> Subhuman, What is your system's max screen resolution?
[12:44] <TimeForBears> I'm installing on a K8WE with two opterons.... using the amd64 kernel
[12:44] <eric___> johlin: It occurs to me I can't make any changes to the device.map on the liveCD.
[12:44] <rsgill> hi everyone
[12:45] <TimeForBears> the strange thing is that it was working before - but after a reboot, I had this exact problem, and I've always had it since, no matter how I boot
[12:45] <cybercobra> the desktop installer is stuck after step 3 and rebooting doesn't help. any advice? please!
[12:45] <OHPhoneGuy> TimeForBears, Hrms.  That is quite odd.
[12:45] <johlin> eric___: I guess not.
[12:45] <alindeman> Any reason I would start up ubuntu for the first time and not have /dev/psaux ?  I definitely have a PS/2 mouse--Knoppix, etc.. detected it fine
[12:45] <rsgill> quick question..how do you stop gnome from defaulting the the /documents folder when it prompts you for ocation to save a file?
[12:45] <alindeman> /dev/psaux just plain doesn't exist, I mean
[12:45] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, I had that until I fixed my BIOS settings. But I now can't remember /which/ BIOS settings and I'm typing on the machine I used....
[12:46] <TimeForBears> so - to clarify - I've reinstalled now - including a format, in case something residual was somehow causing a problem
[12:46] <eric___> johlin: what about making a rescue disk that says - "go look for the kernel HERE".
[12:46] <avis> hi cappicard
[12:46] <TimeForBears> I'm on a laptop at the moment, just booting without a CD in
[12:47] <johlin> eric___: you can load linux from loadlin on a dos-floppy, but getting usb-support on those are not simple from what I've heard. I'm not an expert on this anyway, ask in the forumns
[12:47] <cappicard> hi avis
[12:47] <ompaul> alindeman, as /dev/psaux should be created on the fly by udev - so it is not registering with the system - try reseating the mouse
[12:47] <hakanw> anyone know how to make vsftpd follow symlinks ?
[12:47] <eric___> johlin: for what it's worth the device.map on my USB drive has only one entry: "(hd0) /dev/sda"
[12:47] <hakanw> so I can put a symlink to some place on the system in a user's ftp catalogue
[12:47] <rsgill> anyone?
[12:47] <alindeman> ompaul: It's a touchpad
[12:47] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, I suggest you upgrade to the latest BIOS for your motherboard, then google for your motherboard and Linux support. That's pretty much what I did. I changed a couple of things, one to do with MTRR and one was another memory thing. Boot in verbose mode and see where things are dying. Also try using the non-smp kernel first.
[12:47] <rsgill> quick question..how do you stop gnome from defaulting the the ~/Documents folder when it prompts you for ocation to save a file?
[12:47] <TimeForBears> the real problem is that there isn't any error, it just hangs...
[12:48] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, but you will see exactly where, i.e. what operation it is doing, in verbose mode.
[12:48] <alexbligh> You should see a timestamped log.
[12:48] <eric___> johlin: there also seems to be no /grub under the /boot on the liveCD.
[12:48] <alexbligh> What m/board are you using?
[12:48] <johlin> eric___: That should be wrong. That basicly says (I guess) that it should boot from harddrive 0 if you type /dev/sda1, try changing that do (sd0) instead, I don't know if that works though
[12:48] <boga> The sound recorder in GNOME says my settings are invalid, yet I can record from the command line. Any help?
[12:48] <TimeForBears> how do I boot in verbose mode?
[12:49] <alexbligh> You should see a menu in grub with "recovery mode" on.
[12:49] <Bassetts> how can i put a password on a folder?
[12:49] <ompaul> alindeman, then there is a package called synaptics sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-input-synaptics -- what version of ubuntu are you using
[12:49] <eric___> johlin: I wonder if the ubuntu installer just doesn't take into account that you're using an external drive as your primary boot partition.
[12:49] <eric___> johlin: just assumes you're using hd0.
[12:49] <Hakker> ok I got an Unichrome vicard (standard in my mainbord) but the driver in ubuntu says platform device (vga16fb.o) prolly not good right?
[12:50] <TimeForBears> alexbligh: no problem anywhere
[12:50] <eric___> johlin: So I'll change that hd0 to sd0.
[12:50] <alexbligh> What you mean it boots OK in recovery mode?
[12:50] <alindeman> ompaul: Just installed it an hour ago--breezy (6.06, right?)
[12:50] <alindeman> ompaul: OK, I'll try that package
[12:50] <ompaul> alindeman, no dapper is 6.06
[12:50] <johlin> eric___: maybe. I found some good results using google, for example this: http://www.simonf.com/usb/
[12:50] <JW> rsgill, If you are using Firefox, there is a download preferences option that I use to redirect my downloads.
[12:50] <TimeForBears> alex: yes
[12:51] <ompaul> alindeman, command line lsb_release -d
[12:51] <TimeForBears> I'm now at CLI
[12:51] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, remind me exactly where it hangs in normal mode?
[12:51] <alindeman> ompaul: Ah, sorry, dapper, yes
[12:51] <TimeForBears> immediately after login
[12:52] <rsgill> JW: It's not fireforx specific
[12:52] <alexbligh> Are ou using an AMD64 live CD or an i386 live CD?
[12:52] <TimeForBears> you know the beige box that appears in the middle of the screen - telling you what's being loaded etc?
[12:52] <TimeForBears> AMD64
[12:52] <rsgill> If I want to save a podcast from Liferea, gnome defaults to the Documents folder and I just want gnome to default to the last folder i used
[12:52] <weasel__> How do I set all subdirectories to the same user permissions as a top directory. Preferably in Nautilus, but in CLI if that's how you know
[12:52] <TimeForBears> incidentally, the 5.10 cd seemed to qork
[12:53] <TimeForBears> *work
[12:53] <alexbligh> oKtosiTe, I'd suggest you have a video driver problem. Either in the sense of a problem with the video driver itself, or some BIOS peculiarity meaning the video driver isn't working right.
[12:53] <alexbligh> Sorry that was for TimeForBears.
[12:54] <KoMpLoT> Hi all
[12:54] <weasel__> How do I set all subdirectories to the same user permissions as a top directory. Preferably in Nautilus, but in CLI if that's how you know
[12:54] <TimeForBears> ok - I have the same problem whether I'm using nv or nvidia in xorg.conf
[12:54] <TimeForBears> but the screen does change resolution, and I get the mouse pointer....
[12:54] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, or it could be something as dumb as trying to write to the sound device to play the logon tune hangs the system.
[12:55] <KoMpLoT> trying to make cups recognize some user (on web administrator) I enabled root user by sudo passwd root, now I would like to know how can I disable root again
[12:55] <ashzilla> What's the best way to make files in Linux recognizable in Windows permanently?
[12:55] <TimeForBears> that seems more likely to me
[12:55] <ashzilla> I have samba fs.
[12:55] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, does the mouse pointer continue moving when it's "hung"? Does the caps-lock key continue to toggle the caps-lock LED?
[12:55] <TimeForBears> yes, I can still move it
[12:56] <weasel__> How would I remove "read-only" from all subdirectories, not just the directory? Surely someone knows how!
[12:56] <TimeForBears> 'hang' isnt the right description, but I've left it for hours, it... stops.
[12:56] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, OK I revise my opinion. I don't think that's h/w. h/w stuff tends to hang nastilly.
[12:56] <TimeForBears> ok... I havent installed *anything*
[12:56] <Subhuman> ashzilla, get ext2/3 drivers dor windows.
[12:56] <rsgill> has anyone had any luck getting an ATI IGP 300 card to work with 3D accelaration?
[12:56] <JW> rsgill, Does your pod catcher have a download preferences option?  CastPodder redirects my downloads to a special folder.
[12:57] <TimeForBears> sorry, I tell a lie... I installed nvidia-glx and changed xorg.conf accordingly, but only after I had the problem again
[12:57] <TimeForBears> I've been scratching my head and swearing about this all day
[12:57] <weasel__> How the hell do I remove read-only from all of the subdirectories of a directory?
[12:57] <rem> weasel: chmod -R a+w dir
[12:57] <weasel__> thanks rem :)
[12:58] <rem> weasel: chmod -R u+w dir if just for u ..
[12:58] <weasel__> rem, do you know if it is possible from within nautilus?
[12:58] <ardchoille> weasel__: you need to think "adding write permission" rather than *removing* read only. You can make all directories within a parent directory write enabled with chmod -R u+w /path/to/parent/dir
[12:58] <TimeForBears> incidentally, I can log in to failsafe terminal, but that is the *only* session it will show.
[12:58] <rem> probably...but dunno ...
[12:58] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, no immediate ideas (my kernel was once upon a time hanging on boot and I thought you had the same issue). You could switch back to a text console (CTRL-ALT-F1) and find whatever processes it's waiting for and try and divine something through strace.
[12:58] <TimeForBears> and that is the maroon background with the terminal window bottom right
[12:58] <weasel__> ardchoille: possible from within nautilus?
[12:58] <ardchoille> weasel__: I don't know, I don't use nautilus
[12:59] <weasel__> thanks ardchoille
[12:59] <ardchoille> I use a terminal as my file manager ;)
[12:59] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, you don't have multiple block devices do you? Can you access /home from the terminal window?
[01:00] <Jack_Sparrow> weasel__: did you need to get permissions on a folder or group of folders
[01:00] <TimeForBears> I have /home on a separate partition on the same drive, but I can access it from CLI
[01:01] <weasel__> Jack_Sparrow: I don't know, it worked. BTW, I ended up just reinstalling
[01:01] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[01:01] <Jack_Sparrow> weasel__:  I use term sudo nautilus --no-desktop or gksudp nautilus
[01:01] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo
[01:02] <david__> does anyone no of any free virus software ubuntu?
[01:02] <skavenge> linux doesnt get viruses, but if your wanting to check email and that try clamav
[01:02] <MisterN> david__: you are well talking about WINDOWS viruses?
[01:02] <weasel__> david__: I think AVG has a Linux version, but there's not really any point to having a Linux AV.
[01:02] <TimeForBears> alex: how do I know what it is waiting on?
[01:03] <JW> Are video board drivers interchangeable across Debian based distributions?
[01:03] <TimeForBears> ps -ef something?
[01:03] <alexbligh> ps + strace -f
[01:03] <Jack_Sparrow> david__: AV is not needed...
[01:04] <wee-> helloi
[01:04] <skavenge> in linux we plug holes not run adaware heh
[01:04] <ardchoille> david__: I don't feel the need for virus scanners in Linux. However, i do recommend a rootkit checker.. rkhunter and chkrootkit are in the repos.
[01:04] <TimeForBears> alex: what is strace?
[01:05] <moomoo23> can someone tell me why after removing icecast2 then trying to reinstall doesn't give me all the necessary packages it just simply creates the folders...
[01:05] <wee-> any recommendations for setting up an "Asus W5A/e notebook?" <-- can someone please point me in the right direction. My question is if there are any particular drivers I should be worried about before installing
[01:05] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, "man strace" :-) it dumps what system calls a program is using.
[01:06] <TimeForBears> alex: it doesnt like the command you gave
[01:08] <weasel__> what's the command for rename?
[01:08] <ardchoille> mv
[01:08] <weasel__> that's move
[01:08] <skavenge> wee-: check this out; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam if your lucky your laptop is listed along with a page about what was needed
[01:08] <ardchoille> mv filename newfilename
[01:08] <ardchoille> weasel__: same thing
[01:09] <skavenge> weasel__: mv is basically rename
[01:09] <ze4502us> Does anyone know how to prevent Gnome from defaulting to the ~/Documents folder whenever the file open save dialog pops up
[01:09] <TimeForBears> it's rename, isnt it?!
[01:09] <hakanw> does anyone know how to let vsftpd follow symlinks?
[01:10] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, sorry,  you can't just type it in like that, you will want to find the PID of the process you want to determine why it is hanging, and do something like "strace -fp [PidAsNumberGoesHereWithoutTheBrackets] ". But interpreting all this stuff is not going to be easy over IRC (especially as I need to go to bed). You may also have to try launching the processes differently so they are traced all the way through. It wou
[01:10] <alexbligh> ld be useful to know if everything works from a command line prompt. Do something like "find /" from a terminal and see if it completes or hangs - if it hangs, maybe you have some file system problem. Sorry not to be of more help.
[01:11] <johlin> what is the command to list all open processes?
[01:11] <mwe> ps aux
[01:11] <ardchoille> ps aux
[01:11] <wee-> skavenge: cheers
[01:11] <david__> I heard that av wasn't needed buti also heard that there has been a few unix virus
[01:11] <Subhuman> johlin, or ps -e
[01:11] <TimeForBears> alex: I've tried stracce ps -ef
[01:11] <david__> I suppose those can infect linux too?
[01:12] <johlin> thanks everyone, my computer just got really slow (I mean really) slow a few minutes ago, I can't see why
[01:12] <TimeForBears> and dumped to fine... what am I looking for?
[01:12] <digital_> It looks like won't be able to get double layer dvd burning in Dapper. Need to move up to Edgy
[01:12] <Subhuman> david__, yes theyre is but there not in the wild.
[01:12] <mwe> david__: because users are not administrators by default in linux, they would have a hard time spreading
[01:12] <DBO> johlin, the top command might be more use to you
[01:12] <ardchoille> david__: *if* your computer gets a virus, what is the virus going to do without root permissions?
[01:12] <ze4502us> Does anyone know how to prevent Gnome from defaulting to the ~/Documents folder whenever the file open save dialog pops up
[01:13] <johlin> I've got lots lots lots of kio_http running, what's that?
[01:13] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, no you need to work out the PID from the list "ps -ef" gives you. I'm not trying to be patronizing, but if you aren't used to working your way through strace output it is probably not worth your while trying. I should have ascertained whether you knew how to do it before suggesting it - sorry.
[01:13] <david__> guess my migration from microsux sux will be a slowbumpy one
[01:14] <hakanw> what's the difference between mount --bind foo bar and symlinks?
[01:14] <TimeForBears> yeah, but the PID from what...?
[01:14] <TimeForBears> nothing is eating cycles
[01:14] <deemo> hey everyone, i have been following the following instructions to fix my boot loader: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows but when i try to set the root it tells me the Selected Disk does not exist
[01:14] <deemo> anyone know whats wrong? im doing root (hd0,0) and my / is mounted on hda1
[01:14] <`sheep> hello
[01:14] <johlin> deemo: that's just the way it works afaik
[01:14] <mwe> deemo: that windows
[01:15] <`sheep> i have installed ubuntu about 3 weeks ago
[01:15] <skavenge> PID is listed in ps ...
[01:15] <`sheep> with xgl support
[01:15] <mwe> deemo: or not?
[01:15] <`sheep> i mean installed
[01:15] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, it won't be. It will be stuck on a read(), or a write(), or in some form of select loop. Look for the most recent process (highest PID if you've rebooted recently) and try that.
[01:15] <DBO> `sheep, xgl support is in in #ubuntu-xgl
[01:15] <deemo> i know it used to work, i dont see why windows would make make it so grub cant find my hd....
[01:15] <`sheep> but when i boot to it, i have to run setxkbmap before i can use the keyboard properly
[01:15] <mwe> deemo: on a dual boot windows is usually hda1
[01:15] <TimeForBears> alex: how do I sort ps by PID?
[01:16] <johlin> Is KTorrent overall buggy? I found out that KTorrent was the slowdown, even though it didn't down/upload anything.
[01:16] <deemo> mwe, on my box, i have hda2 set as my ntfs partition. hda1 is ext3
[01:16] <TimeForBears> ignore that question
[01:16] <TimeForBears> alex: I'll reboot, and go again
[01:16] <alexbligh> "ps -ef | sort -n +1" OR  "ps auxwwg | sort -n +1"
[01:16] <niki> what command gives me a list of all hard drives connected to my computer, so i know which device i need to mount?
[01:16] <ardchoille> deemo: which OS did you install last?
[01:17] <mwe> deemo: I thought windows would insist on installing on the first partition on the first drive usually. but ok
[01:17] <alexbligh> TimeForBears, off to bed. Hope you find some way to sort it.
[01:17] <TimeForBears> alex: thanks
[01:17] <deemo> ardchoille, i installed windows last, and i know it messes things up, but i have fixed it before
[01:17] <SonicChao> mwe, not always, in the DOS screen it lets you choose
[01:17] <deemo> mwe, i dont know, i dont think so
[01:17] <ardchoille> deemo: oh, ok :)
[01:17] <mwe> deemo: ok then
[01:18] <Acill> how do I copy a dir from a shell to another location?
[01:18] <Acill> cp mol /mnt wont work
[01:18] <ardchoille> Acill: cp -r /path/dir /newpath
[01:18] <mwe> deemo: the grub shell should let you tab complete though
[01:18] <SonicChao> My install freezes at "Setting Up The Clock". What should I do?
[01:18] <gostview> hello all, someone could tell me if there is a RSS for gnome?
[01:19] <Acill> so if I want something from the dir I am in to go to /mnt what do I type?
[01:19] <SonicChao> !rss
[01:19] <ubotu> I know nothing about rss
[01:19] <ardchoille> gostview: have a look at liferea
[01:19] <deemo> mwe, it has tab completion for the commands but if i do root (hd and press tab it wont work
[01:19] <mwe> Acill: cp -a foo
[01:19] <gostview> ardchoille> tx
[01:19] <gostview> ardchoille> tnx
[01:19] <ardchoille> gostview: yw :)
[01:20] <TimeForBears> alex: are you still there?
[01:20] <mwe> deemo: then I think it doesn't recognize it. it should let you usually I think
[01:20] <TimeForBears> the last few processes are wavs
[01:20] <TimeForBears> maybe its a sound issue
[01:20] <deemo> mwe hmm alright ill try some other things i guess
[01:20] <TimeForBears> can anyone tell me how to disable sound from CLI?
[01:20] <mwe> deemo: are you doing it from the live cd or what?
[01:21] <deemo> mwe: yes from live cd, but im going to try and do it through the rescue console in the main menu of the live cd
[01:21] <wee-> #ubuntu-laptop
[01:21] <TimeForBears> can anyone tell me how to disable sound from CLI?
[01:21] <mwe> deemo: is the live cd able to mount your linux partition?
[01:21] <deemo> mwe: yes i have mounted it
[01:21] <wikiii> How do I hide my IP address in IRC so I don't get hacked?
[01:21] <mwe> deemo: odd then
[01:22] <deemo> mwe: your telling me :P
[01:22] <niki> what command would i use to mount a newly installed drive (hdd) ?
[01:22] <ardchoille> wikiii: ask a staffer for a user cloak
[01:22] <mwe> niki: is it partitioned?
[01:22] <TimeForBears> can anyone tell me how to disable sound from CLI?
[01:22] <TimeForBears> can anyone tell me how to disable sound from CLI?
[01:22] <niki> mwe, yes, fat32
[01:22] <wikiii> how?
[01:22] <SonicChao> TimeForBears, STOP.
[01:22] <SonicChao> If no one KNOWS.
[01:22] <wikiii> where's a staffer?
[01:22] <SonicChao> You won't get TOLD.
[01:22] <SonicChao> Period.
[01:22] <cyphase> why isn't libdvdcss included in universe while patent-encumbered gstreamer plugins are?
[01:22] <skavenge> !patience
[01:22] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[01:22] <mwe> niki: first sudo fdisk -l /dev/hdd to list the partition names
[01:22] <ardchoille> wikiii: do /stats p and find a staffer, then /msg them
[01:23] <niki> mwe, there is one partition, hdd1
[01:23] <mwe> niki: ok
[01:23] <SonicChao> skavenge, sorry, your response was probably better than mine
[01:23] <wikiii> 	p 0 staff members
[01:23] <mwe> niki: then sudo mkdir /mnt/hdd1 for example and sudo  mount -t vfat /dev/hdd1 /mnt/hdd1
[01:23] <skavenge> cyphase: the movie industry has bigger thugs than the music industry? i dunno good question
[01:23] <cyphase> or w32codecs
[01:24] <cyphase> although that might be a copyright as opposed to patent problem
[01:24] <niki> mwe, cool, thanks!  what's the -t for on mount?
[01:24] <TimeForBears> SonicChao: sorry. I've been struggling with this problem for hours, and I'm more than a little frustrated....
[01:24] <skavenge> cyphase: thats likely .. you found the wget links for both though right?
[01:24] <mwe> niki: file system type
[01:24] <niki> oh ok
[01:24] <niki> mwe, thanks again :)
[01:24] <mwe> yw
[01:24] <SonicChao> TimeForBears, now you won't get an answer. When we see flooding, we ignore.
[01:24] <SonicChao> TimeForBears, you did it to yourself.
[01:24] <TimeForBears> sonicChao: getting utterly ignored is annoying in itself...
[01:24] <cyphase> skavenge: yea, i have everything installed..
[01:24] <skavenge> okay
[01:25] <niki> TimeForBears, have you googled your question?
[01:25] <cyphase> but it'd be nice if i could apt-get install libdvdcss2
[01:25] <SonicChao> TimeForBears, SUCK IT UP. And press the "MUTE" button.
[01:25] <mwe> TimeForBears: just run alsamixer and mute it
[01:25] <spades> TimeForBears put 'set bell-style none' into ~/.inputrc
[01:25] <TimeForBears> SonicChao: I cant, because I cant get into X, because dapper is not booting properly
[01:26] <SonicChao> TimeForBears, well than that's the real problem.
[01:26] <SonicChao> TimeForBears, not your sound.
[01:26] <mwe> TimeForBears: alsamixer is CLI
[01:26] <TimeForBears> SonicChoa: yes, it is
[01:26] <wikiii>  so how do I make a proxy work with chatzilla?
[01:26] <TimeForBears> SonicChoa: I've been trying to get some help with it on here
[01:26] <mwe> TimeForBears: alsamixer is CLI
[01:26] <mwe> TimeForBears: alsamixer is CLI
[01:26] <mwe> TimeForBears: just run alsamixer and mute it
[01:26] <skavenge> cyphase: if your repos are installed you should be able to apt-get libdvdcss2
[01:26] <tonyyarusso> TimeForBears: You could use a cli browser like elinks, links2, or w3m.  And yes, alsamixer should do the trick.
[01:26] <MadScientist> TimeForBears, use alsamixer
[01:26] <cyphase> skavenge: the ubuntu repos?
[01:26] <__filip_> What app should i use to open a .chm file?
[01:27] <ardchoille> skavenge: iirc, libdvdcss2 is not in the repos
[01:27] <ashzilla> !sfs
[01:27] <ubotu> I know nothing about sfs
[01:27] <ashzilla> !sambafs
[01:27] <ubotu> I know nothing about sambafs
[01:27] <ashzilla> !samba
[01:27] <skavenge> ardchoille: according to the restrictedformats page it is, may be a mistake then
[01:27] <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
[01:27] <lophyte> __filip_: there's a program called xchm
[01:27] <ardchoille> skavenge: then it's a mistake ;)
[01:27] <TimeForBears> hang on... I want to disable, not mute
[01:27] <__filip_> lophyte: Thanx
[01:27] <lophyte> __filip_: sudo apt-get install xchm
[01:27] <ashzilla> I need to mount my Linux files on a VMware Windows XP install
[01:28] <SonicChao> TimeForBears, WHY. They both have the same effect.
[01:28] <ashzilla> How can I do this
[01:28] <mwe> TimeForBears: explain
[01:28] <TimeForBears> the sound, I believe, is causing the boot problem - hence I want to disable it to see if the machine will boot
[01:28] <ICSNickError> my installation is EXTERMELY slow
[01:28] <mwe> TimeForBears: make sure you sound modules are blacklisted then
[01:28] <skavenge> ardchoille: i see now its apt-getting libdvdread3 from there you run the install script to get libdvdcss2
[01:28] <niki> if i do a server install, is gnome still installed?
[01:28] <user__> USER
[01:28] <eric___> dumb question: how do I save and leave vi?
[01:28] <TimeForBears> mwe: how do I do that?
[01:28] <sexcopter8000m> what would be the command to format my usb disk with fat (or vfat, whatever)
[01:28] <ardchoille> skavenge: yes, I remember that
[01:28] <niki> eric___, hit :wq
[01:28] <niki> eric___, thats including the ':'
[01:29] <ICSNickError> my installation is EXTERMELY slow. anyone know why?
[01:29] <SonicChao> ICSNickError, is your machine overheating?
[01:29] <ICSNickError> no
[01:29] <niki> ICSNickError, do you have the right video drivers?
[01:29] <ashzilla> I need to mount my Linux files on a VMware Windows XP install.. What is the best way to do this?
[01:29] <ardchoille> ICSNickError: is it an old machine?
[01:29] <ICSNickError> it works with other linux distros
[01:29] <SonicChao> ICSNickError, how old is the comp?
[01:29] <ICSNickError> it's about 5 yrs old
[01:30] <ICSNickError> laptop
[01:30] <SonicChao> ICSNickError, that's the problem.
[01:30] <skavenge> cyphase: sorry my mistake its not in the repos, once you apt-get libdvdread3 all it takes is a running of a install script to get libdvdcss2 .. couple more hoops than necessary
[01:30] <SonicChao> It's old.
[01:30] <SonicChao> ICSNickError, just give it some time.
[01:30] <cyphase> skavenge: i know, that's what i did
[01:30] <hou5ton> ok ... i've tried everything in the book, and although this laptop displayed the proper screen resolution in Breezy (1440x900), it refuses to in Dapper.  Any more ideas?
[01:30] <ICSNickError> last attampt: it froze on the second page
[01:30] <tonyyarusso> ICSNickError: Are you using the Desktop or Alternate CD to install?  I know the Desktop one has higher RAM requirements for installation.
[01:30] <skavenge> my fault, forgot about that install script bit
[01:30] <niki> SonicChao, i run dapper on a laptop thats about 5 or 6 years old, and its not slow...
[01:30] <mwe> TimeForBears: make a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ and add 'blacklist yoursoundmodule' to it
[01:30] <izhirahider> How can I change the clock format on the ubuntu desktop (gnome)?
[01:31] <ICSNickError> tonyyarusso, i only have  one cd
[01:31] <skavenge> izhirahider: right click on it
[01:31] <mwe> TimeForBears: lsmod|grep snd to find the name
[01:31] <ICSNickError> tonyyarusso, i have 256 mb ram
[01:31] <skavenge> izhirahider: set time and style and preferences all from that menu
[01:31] <SonicChao> ICSNickError, is the CD (possibly) corrupted?
[01:31] <ICSNickError> bo
[01:31] <ICSNickError> no
[01:32] <ICSNickError> just got it in mail
[01:32] <hakanw> if I use "mount --bind olddir newdir", and then try to rm -rf the "link", does the actual dir get deleted too?
[01:32] <ICSNickError> today
[01:32] <izhirahider> skavenge: no, I mean change the style of what appears: Instead of Jul 3, I'd want 3 Jul 2006
[01:32] <niki> ICSNickError, ubuntu is one of the slowest installing distros i've ever tried...perhaps you're just used to fast-installing distros like slack?
[01:32] <SonicChao> ICSNickError, you didn't download it yourself, okay, now I understand.
[01:32] <ICSNickError> niki, yes, i am
[01:32] <TimeForBears> mwe: what should it be called?
[01:32] <mwe> niki: ever tried gentoo? :)
[01:33] <mwe> TimeForBears: anything
[01:33] <skavenge> izhirahider: hmm dunno there i dont see an option in preferences to add the year
[01:33] <tonyyarusso> ICSNickError: Okay, yeah, that'll be most of the problem.  256 will work, but it might have gone a bit quicker with the Alternate.  You'll be okay though.
[01:33] <ardchoille> mwe: lol
[01:33] <ashzilla> I need to mount my Linux files on a VMware Windows XP install.. What is the best way to do this?
[01:33] <skavenge> about everything else but that
[01:33] <niki> mwe, i actually don't think i've tried gentoo....
[01:33] <mwe> TimeForBears: blacklist-sound maybe
[01:33] <ICSNickError> i also cant find my screen res
[01:33] <ICSNickError> theres only 640x480 on here
[01:34] <eric___> johnlin: Tried making that change to device.map - no change.
[01:34] <ardchoille> !resolution
[01:34] <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
[01:34] <ICSNickError> now my fans are on high
[01:34] <mwe> niki: it takes a day or two to install it
[01:34] <ICSNickError> and it wont leave the first page
[01:34] <Jack_Sparrow> ICSNickError: you are probably running ati Mobility.. and hence CESA drivers
[01:35] <niki> mwe, wow....is it worth it? :P
[01:35] <izhirahider> skavenge: that's ok, thanks
[01:35] <Jack_Sparrow> V
[01:35] <mwe> niki: I got tired of compiling everything
[01:35] <digital_> Has anyone in here burned a dual layer dvd in Ubuntu
[01:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Intel video?
[01:35] <eric___> digital: I thought that was impossible - proprietary.  Is that just blu-ray?
[01:35] <niki> mwe, ah....well i've tried about a dozen different ones...stickin with ubuntu for now :D
[01:35] <TimeForBears> mwe: how do I know what the sound module is called?
[01:36] <ICSNickError> intel everything
[01:36] <mwe> niki: it gives you a fast system but it will be slow most of the time because you're always compiling stuff
[01:36] <mwe> TimeForBears: I told you
[01:36] <ICSNickError> Jack_Sparrow, i have an intel chipset in my laptop
[01:36] <Jack_Sparrow> ICSNickError:  What kind of lappy?
[01:36] <lophyte> eric___: its possible to buy dual layer dvds.. they're just expensive.
[01:36] <digital_> eric___: When whas the last time you went to the store? They have Double Layer DVD burners for about $80
[01:36] <hakanw> anyone know how to "unmount" a bound dir?
[01:36] <Jack_Sparrow> ics dosent mean you have intel video
[01:36] <ashzilla> I need to mount my Linux files on a VMware Windows XP install.. What is the best way to do this?
[01:36] <niki> mwe, does it not have a package manager?
[01:36] <ICSNickError> Dell Inspiron 1100?
[01:36] <mwe> TimeForBears: lsmod|grep snd
[01:36] <TimeForBears> mwe: ah, sorry, I missed the command amongst the other posts
[01:36] <mwe> niki: yes and a great one too
[01:37] <niki> mwe, then why compile everything?
[01:37] <mwe> niki: but it compiles everything from source
[01:37] <lophyte> ashzilla: you mean you wanna access your host OS filesystem through a guest OS?
[01:37] <niki> mwe, oh, you mean the install itself, or apps?
[01:37] <ICSNickError> i see a little spinny thing
[01:37] <mwe> niki: gentoo doesn't provide binary packages
[01:37] <ICSNickError> and nothing is happening
[01:37] <niki> mwe, ahhhh ok
[01:38] <mwe> niki: but you just emerge kde to get kde. then wait 24 hours for it to compile
[01:38] <ardchoille> mwe: whoa!
[01:38] <niki> mwe, lol
[01:38] <TimeForBears> mwe: there are 10 processes in the list
[01:38] <TimeForBears> modules sorry
[01:38] <kimo> ubuntu's kernel totally hates my laptops hardware. Can anyone please point me to another stable kernel to try?
[01:39] <sexcopter8000m> ok i'm trying to format my usb stick with gparted, except ubuntu keeps mounting the disk during the process which mucks things up. how can i prevent ubuntu from mounting it?
[01:39] <mwe> niki: but everything will be optimized for your system. but IMHO it doesn't make a big difference
[01:39] <ICSNickError> can i speed this thing along?
[01:39] <mwe> TimeForBears: those are loaded modules
[01:39] <ICSNickError> im getting impatient
[01:40] <TimeForBears> mwe: so what, I add all of them to blacklist-sound ??
[01:40] <ICSNickError> ubuntu is very slow
[01:40] <mwe> TimeForBears: are they all something-snd?
[01:40] <ICSNickError> :P
[01:40] <hou5ton> I'm trying to follow the "FixVideoResoution" instructions, but when I run aticonfig it says no such command, and I don't see it in Synaptic?
[01:40] <TimeForBears> theyre all snd_*something*
[01:41] <mwe> TimeForBears: paste the names on paste.ubuntu-nl.org so you don't blacklist something important
[01:41] <niki> ICSNickError, you're talking about the install still, correct?  ubuntu runs pretty speedy once its installed...
[01:41] <ICSNickError> yep
[01:41] <mwe> TimeForBears: well
[01:41] <mwe> TimeForBears: I think you can just blacklist those for now then
[01:42] <^thehatsrule^> sounds like a bad cd drive :p
[01:42] <ashzilla> lophyte, yes, that's what I want to do - I want to access my linux files from a VMware Windows server
[01:42] <ICSNickError> should i install server or desktop
[01:43] <mwe> lophyte: are you aware that there a free windows tools to access ext linux partitions?
[01:43] <ICSNickError> which has more apps
[01:43] <mwe> ICSNickError: desktop
[01:43] <lophyte> ashzilla: VMware has a feature called Shared Folders... go into the VMs settings window, where you can add and remove hardware to the VM, and click on the Options tab.. there's a Shared Folders feature you can use
[01:43] <lophyte> mwe: no need to use it if you're in VMware :P
[01:43] <ICSNickError> i'm going for server (for my website's sake)
[01:44] <oneeyedelf1> I konw there is a program to automatically install stuff for ubuntu called automatix, and there is also another program that does something similiar, I was wondering what the other program is
[01:44] <mwe> lophyte: I know but for just accessing files I'd say it's overkill :)
[01:44] <TimeForBears> mwe: ok, I've pasted them
[01:44] <ardchoille> oneeyedelf1: the other one is easyubuntu
[01:44] <eric___> Anybody here have experience getting linux to boot off of an external hard disk - where the primary drive is strictly windoze only?
[01:44] <mwe> TimeForBears: url?
[01:44] <oneeyedelf1> ardchoille: thanks
[01:44] <TimeForBears> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17054
[01:44] <ardchoille> oneeyedelf1: yw
[01:44] <lophyte> mwe: yah I agree
[01:44] <ICSNickError> NOOOO
[01:45] <ICSNickError> i tried to move the mouse and it froze
[01:45] <ICSNickError> again
[01:45] <ICSNickError> what do i do now?
[01:45] <mwe> TimeForBears: I think it's safe to blacklist those, though I think blacklist just snd and soundcore would prevent the rest from loading
[01:45] <hou5ton> I'm trying to follow the "FixVideoResoution" instructions, but when I run aticonfig it says no such command, and I don't see it in Synaptic?  What can I do to run that command on this machine?
[01:45] <TimeForBears> mwe: thanks
[01:46] <ICSNickError> :(
[01:46] <ashzilla> lophyte, I'm having trouble finding this "Option" tab
[01:47] <mwe> hou5ton: have you installed xorg-driver-fglrx?
[01:47] <trygg> Its possible to get tv-out to work with ati radeon 9000?
[01:47] <ICSNickError> someone, installation is hung
[01:47] <hou5ton> mwe:  I'll check
[01:47] <oneeyedelf1> I have a quick question, I plan on installing kubuntu for a friend and then giving him the computer, the thing is he will have adifferent monitor, is there anyway to have kubuntu reprobe the refresh settings
[01:47] <mwe> hou5ton: that's the binary ati driver
[01:47] <lophyte> ashzilla: VM->Settings and click on the Options tab
[01:47] <mwe> hou5ton: plus aticonfig
[01:47] <Zaire> ok can anyone in here help me with my prob since a couple of wads seem intent on talking about weed and other various things in the kubuntu channel
[01:47] <lophyte> ashzilla: there should be two tabs.. Hardware and Options
[01:48] <Ademan> how would i install grub to the MBR through grub-install?   "grub-install /dev/hda"   ?
[01:48] <hou5ton> mwe:  I don't have that installed
[01:48] <mwe> Ademan: no
[01:48] <ICSNickError> should i shut down the computer manually?
[01:48] <mwe> Ademan: grub doesn't use that scheme
[01:48] <Zaire> I was wondering if anyones heard of a package called makeinfo
[01:48] <mwe> Ademan: it would be hd0
[01:49] <ashzilla> lophyte, I don't know how I overlocked that, thanks you very much.
[01:49] <Kibou> atually "grub-install /dev/hda" works just fine
[01:49] <sethk> Zaire, sure, why?
[01:49] <ICSNickError> should i shut down the computer manually?
[01:49] <lophyte> ashzilla: no prob ;)
[01:49] <Ademan> mwe: and that would install to the MBR? (i don't want to install just to my linux partition, i want it to be the master bootloader)
[01:49] <Zaire> I can't seem to find it so I can install tor privoxy
[01:49] <erUSUL> Ademan: yes grub-install /dev/hda will do it
[01:49] <TimeForBears> mwe: I'm giving up on dapper, that hasnt solved my problem
[01:49] <lophyte> ashzilla: in your VM, you access it by going to My Network Places -> VMware Shared Folders
[01:49] <mwe> hou5ton: well then you hadn't installed the ati driver in the first place
[01:49] <ICSNickError> should i shut down the computer manually?
[01:49] <sethk> Zaire, did you try apt-file to look for it?
[01:49] <ICSNickError> not to be annoying
[01:49] <TimeForBears> mwe: but thanks for the help anyway
[01:49] <hou5ton> mwe:  I'm installing it now
[01:49] <Ademan> thanks guys
[01:49] <ashzilla> lophyte, excellent.
[01:50] <Zaire> nopes haven't tried that
[01:50] <mwe> TimeForBears: yw. maybe the log files will suggest what's wrong
[01:50] <sethk> Zaire, I believe it's part of texinfo
[01:50] <sethk> Zaire, I'll do an apt-file on it, hold on
[01:50] <TimeForBears> mwe: if you can tell me what to look at/for, I'll check it
[01:50] <sethk> Zaire, yes, texinfo.  also used by emacs and xemacs
[01:50] <ICSNickError> should i shut down the computer manually?
[01:50] <Zaire> apt-file command not found
[01:51] <mwe> Zaire: I installed privoxy
[01:51] <mwe> Zaire: just got the .deb
[01:51] <ashzilla> lophyte, there seems to be nothing available about shared folders.
[01:51] <TimeForBears> mwe: the trouble is, I've not got much experience, and this isnt a simple problem
[01:51] <mwe> TimeForBears: errors :)
[01:51] <sethk> Zaire, you have to install it to use it.
[01:51] <ICSNickError> should i shut down the computer manually?
[01:51] <Zaire> I couldn't find a .deb
[01:51] <ardchoille> Zaire: apt-cache search makeinfo
[01:51] <mwe> TimeForBears: look at the timestamps. /var/log/syslog
[01:51] <TimeForBears> mwe: there were no errors
[01:51] <sethk> Zaire, but as I said, I did it for you and it is texinfo
[01:51] <mwe> TimeForBears: so what is the problem exactly?
[01:52] <ICSNickError> would someone please answer?
[01:52] <ICSNickError> should i shut down the computer manually?
[01:52] <Zaire> not texinfo file found
[01:52] <gnubie> oneeyedelf1: choosing recovery mode at boot time will put you as root user in a console and you can edit the xorg.conf to the new monitor soecs.
[01:52] <gnubie> specs
[01:52] <sethk> ICSNickError, I have no idea what you are doing, but you can't just pull the cord from the wall, so if it needs to be shut down, then shut it down
[01:53] <Zaire> k I just found it on adept
[01:53] <ICSNickError> and my installation is hung
[01:53] <mwe> ICSNickError: just hard power off then
[01:54] <mwe> ICSNickError: at what point did it hang?
[01:54] <Zaire> sethk: thanks for the help
[01:54] <ICSNickError> when i moved my mouse on the welcome page
[01:54] <ICSNickError> after i hit enter
[01:54] <lophyte> ashzilla: in your VM?
[01:54] <stevekl> Does anyone know if it's easy to 'recover' GRUB after windows has overwritten it on the MBR?
[01:55] <ashzilla> lophyte: yes, there's nothing at all
[01:55] <stevekl> and how would I do it?
[01:55] <jrib> !grub > stevekl
[01:55] <ashzilla> lophyte, I see the options tab, but there's nothing there.
[01:55] <mwe> ICSNickError: are you talking about during install or after
[01:55] <mwe> stevekl: it easy
[01:55] <lophyte> ashzilla: what version of VMware are you using?
[01:55] <TimeForBears> mwe: ok, the exact problem is this: I'm trying to install dapper on a dual opteron machine. so, I've tried using the live CD and live DVD, but they both have the same problem. I can install from text mode, but when I log in, I get the same problem on all sessions other than failsafe terminal, which does the same thing, but with a terminal right hand corner: the problem itself is that there is gnome fails to initialise properly - I get th
[01:55] <ICSNickError> the language page before the installation
[01:55] <ashzilla> VMware Server 1.0.0
[01:55] <stevekl> jrib, wow that's exactly what I needed, thanks
[01:56] <lophyte> hmm.. I've never used Server
[01:56] <stevekl> bookmarkin'
[01:56] <lophyte> I'm using VMware Workstation 5.1
[01:56] <TimeForBears> mwe:...screen resizing to the right resolution, but before the box comes up (loading x, y, z) it just sits there
[01:56] <ashzilla> lophyte, :(
[01:56] <lophyte> maybe that feature isn't available in your version
[01:56] <ashzilla> maybe if I update.
[01:56] <lophyte> yeah, perhaps
[01:56] <mwe> TimeForBears: ok. grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:56] <Tom7e> i'm trying to run LIRC ./configure and get this message:  configure: error: *** you need to have the Linux kernel source installed
[01:56] <Tom7e>         for this driver
[01:57] <Tom7e> what source?
[01:57] <mwe> Tom7e: sudo aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r) probably
[01:58] <hctibtipot1> how do you install and use winrar in ubuntu???
[01:58] <hou5ton> mwe:  running aticonfig --initial etc. ... gives me two "Monitor" and "Screen" sections in xorg.conf ... the old one and a new one that it apparantly just wrote.  That doesn't seem right.  Should I delete the old sections?
[01:58] <jrib> !rar > hctibtipot1
[01:58] <mwe> Tom7e: and install build-essential as well if you haven't
[01:59] <ICSNickError> !install
[01:59] <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
[01:59] <mwe> hou5ton: to be honest I'm not familiar with aticonfig I did it by hand. but I'd guess you could purge the old sections yes
[02:00] <Technel> I installed Ubuntu 6.06, but the internet connection did not work. I booted into Windows and looked up the network help page, found the "sudo ppoeconf" command, but it says "Access controller did not respond" (it did find eth0 though). Any ideas?
[02:00] <TimeForBears> mwe: "Current Operating System: Linux Oppie 2.6.15-23-amd64-k8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 23 13:51:32 UTC 2006 x86_64 (WW) warning (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
[02:00] <mwe> Technel: it's not dhcp?
[02:00] <hctibtipot1> thanx, but how do you use it???
[02:00] <mwe> Technel: it ppp over ehternet?
[02:00] <hctibtipot1> winrar that is???
[02:01] <Technel> mwe, Couldn't find anything on DHCP
[02:01] <mwe> Technel: sudo dhclient eth0
[02:01] <mwe> Technel: try that if the interface is eth0
[02:01] <airxdres> l
[02:01] <mwe> Technel: then ping yahoo.com
[02:01] <ICSNickError> i hope it doesnt hang this time
[02:02] <mwe> TimeForBears: ok no errors there :|
[02:02] <Technel> mwe, Alright, I'll try that and be right back, thanks
[02:02] <jrib> hctibtipot1: once you install unrar, you can use applications > accessories > archive manager.  YOu should be able to just double click on a rar file
[02:02] <magnetic> guys: what shell command to show all listed disks please?
[02:02] <magnetic> i forget
[02:02] <Tom7e> mwe:  still get the same message.
[02:02] <hctibtipot1> kkk, thanx jrib
[02:02] <TimeForBears> mwe: .... do you have any other ideas?
[02:03] <jrib> magnetic: 'mount' lists what is mounted
[02:03] <mwe> TimeForBears: hmm
[02:03] <magnetic> jrib lol
[02:03] <mwe> TimeForBears: you could try your luck with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

[02:04] <Tmob> anyone here knows how to get suspend/resume to not hang up onresume? (X hangs up on my Dell d410 laptop)
[02:04] <mwe> TimeForBears: reinstalling many times sounds like a bad approach
[02:05] <stevekl> Is there any disadvantages in using the msttcorefonts (other than using non-free stuff)
[02:05] <stevekl> ?
[02:05] <mwe> TimeForBears: unless you find the problem it will happen again
[02:05] <dr_willis> not that i know of stevekl
[02:05] <ICSNickError> where can i change my monitor settings?
[02:05] <mwe> ICSNickError: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:05] <mwe> ICSNickError: but make a backup before you change it
[02:06] <ICSNickError> im on a live cd
[02:06] <mwe> TimeForBears: I'd try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:06] <TimeForBears> mwe: I am
[02:06] <mwe> ICSNickError: well then just change it
[02:06] <mwe> TimeForBears: good
[02:06] <Tom7e> i'm trying to run LIRC ./configure and get this message:  configure: error: *** you need to have the Linux kernel source installed for this driver
[02:07] <J_P> Are there in wiki.ubuntu.org anyone howto to compile kernel using kernel-package ?
[02:07] <ardchoille> Tom7e: iirc, that was answered
[02:07] <mwe> stevekl: well not aside from the point that they're ugly :)
[02:07] <Tom7e> ardchoille: it was attempted :)
[02:07] <ardchoille> Tom7e: oh, hehe, ok
[02:08] <danderson> hi all; I've just noticed that there is no hotplug daemon on my ubuntu dapper laptop. Is this absence intentional, and if so, what replaces it?
[02:08] <stevekl> mwe, well that's a valid reason. I'm trying to keep as much microsoft stuff off of my computer as possible, and i'm trying to decide if I really *need* those MS fonts or not
[02:08] <danderson> I'm looking for somewhere to place USB identification for a device, and a script or two to execute when the device is plugged in.
[02:08] <TimeForBears> mwe: ok, i've gone through it, and it's made no difference :|
[02:08] <mwe> stevekl: just get em. you don't have to use them all over
[02:08] <InsideJob> I'm a bit new to ubuntu and just installed dapper and i'm curious where the firewall gui is....i couldn't find one
[02:08] <jrib> !firewall
[02:08] <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)
[02:09] <InsideJob> thanks
[02:09] <useename> insidejob: you probably want to install Firestarter
[02:09] <ardchoille> InsideJob: there isn't one, you can install firestarter, though
[02:09] <mwe> TimeForBears: it freezes before you get to the desktop?
[02:09] <Dick_Balls> Ive had problems with getting ubuntu to recognise my wireless netcard (broadcom in a Hp laptop) ...Was just wondering if anyone knew if these cards or similar were supported in the new, 6.06 release....
[02:09] <mwe> TimeForBears: did you answer the questions correctly?
[02:09] <InsideJob> ok  i'll apt-get it
[02:10] <TimeForBears> mwe: it doesnt freeze - I can still move the mouse - but yes, it never gets to desktop
[02:10] <useename> danderson: I think it's all "udev" now.  Try searching google for "udev ubuntu"
[02:10] <TimeForBears> mwe: just sits on a maroon background with (movable) mouse pointer
[02:10] <mwe> TimeForBears: you can move the mouse? what happens if you right click?
[02:10] <TokenBad> what was it I needed to install to get "Make" avail to me?
[02:11] <Hexidigital_> TokenBad:: build-essential
[02:11] <ardchoille> build essential
[02:11] <TimeForBears> mwe: yes, I can. right clicking does nothing
[02:11] <dr_willis> !b-e
[02:11] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for a pre-built package first!)
[02:11] <useename> or just "make" :)
[02:11] <mwe> TimeForBears: odd
[02:11] <TokenBad> thanks
[02:11] <TimeForBears> mwe: yes, it is odd. it is highly frustrating though...
[02:11] <danderson> useename: got it, thanks.
[02:11] <mwe> TimeForBears: yeah
[02:12] <ardchoille> mwe: is the system not recognising his vid card?
[02:12] <InsideJob> firestarter is exactly what i was looking for..thanks guys ;)
[02:12] <ardchoille> InsideJob: :)
[02:12] <mwe> TimeForBears: but do you get to the graphical login before that?
[02:12] <TimeForBears> mwe: yes
[02:12] <mwe> TimeForBears: ah
[02:12] <ardchoille> ok, never mind
[02:12] <TimeForBears> mwe: obviosuly not with the live cds
[02:12] <hou5ton> mwe:  ok ... we made "some" progress
[02:12] <TimeForBears> ,we: but I do on the installed version
[02:12] <mwe> TimeForBears: well that is good at least
[02:13] <mwe> TimeForBears: and fail safe works but not gnome?
[02:13] <ardchoille> sounds like gnome-session isn't getting started for some reason
[02:13] <TimeForBears> mwe: well, failsafe terminal works - ie i get the terminal bottom right, but screen still maroon background with no desktop, no bars etc
[02:13] <hou5ton> mwe:  before .... with the 1440x900 settings, it would boot to a black screen after login ... now it boots to the wallpaper, but still no sound or loading the rest of Gnome.
[02:13] <TimeForBears> but I never get any dektop anywhere
[02:14] <mwe> TimeForBears: did you do a server install or desktop?
[02:14] <TimeForBears> mwe: desktop
[02:14] <mwe> TimeForBears: and can you type in that terminal?
[02:14] <TimeForBears> mwe: yes
[02:14] <TimeForBears> mwe: thats how I've been following your suggestions
[02:14] <mwe> hmm
[02:15] <Technel> mwe, Are you still here?
[02:15] <yUSiyEEE> quick question: howto open ace file in ubuntu?
[02:15] <mwe> TimeForBears: looks like it's close though. hmm
[02:15] <mwe> Technel: yes
[02:15] <mwe> yUSiyEEE: unace i think
[02:15] <Technel> mwe, I ran "sudo dhclient eth0" and it said something like "Failed to receive attributes from /etc/resolv.conf; file does not exist" (or something along those lines)
[02:15] <mwe> Technel: ok
[02:16] <Dick_Balls> does ubuntu 6.0.6 support many wireless netcards? or do you need to make some houdini tricks to make ubuntu find your card?
[02:16] <reilagarto> hello, i-m completly new in this, please someone help me i have the ububtu Lts (i think) and a pinnacle pctv pro and i want to watch and record some tv progrms. How can i do this?
[02:16] <mwe> Technel: odd. its supposed to create it if it's not present
[02:16] <ranok> Dick_Balls, depends on the wireless card
[02:16] <TimeForBears> mwe: okay - back to failsafe terminal - what do you suggest I try then?
[02:16] <ranok> you might need ndiswrapper
[02:17] <hou5ton> mwe: ... or anyone ..... before .... with the 1440x900 settings, it would boot to a black screen after login ... now it boots to the wallpaper, but still no sound or loading the rest of Gnome.
[02:17] <mwe> TimeForBears: I'm not sure. it bothers me you can get in but not quite. it would almost be easier if you couldn't start it at all
[02:17] <C_J_Pro> Who does the login/logoff sounds for Ubuntu?
[02:18] <sysdoc> lol
[02:18] <Dick_Balls> Ranok: What about the cards from Broadcom...are they supported? or do
[02:18] <Technel> mwe, Any ideas what to do?
[02:19] <ranok> Dick_Balls, they need ndis, but some have a reverse engineered driver
[02:19] <TimeForBears> mwe: ah - I misunderstood what you were saying before
[02:19] <TimeForBears> mwe: either way, it's no good to me like this#
[02:19] <mwe> TimeForBears: no.
[02:19] <TimeForBears> mwe: back to 5.10 I suppose... that seemed to boot ok
[02:20] <fdsd> hey guys, I am making a script, but there is command I need to run that wants a yes/no answer, how do I automaticly tell it yes on the command line so here is the hpmount /dev/sda  it wants a y or n, how do I say y to it?
[02:20] <ranok> Dick_Balls, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:20] <mwe> TimeForBears: you could use the xorg.conf from that or upgrade from 5.10. it's not an optimal solution though it should work

[02:20] <ICSNickError> Running Install...
[02:20] <hou5ton> TimeForBears:  do you have an ATI card too?
[02:20] <tach00> hello all
[02:21] <mwe> TimeForBears: I think it's a problem with xorg.conf but I don't know exactly what
[02:21] <Dick_Balls> ranok: NDis? What is that? Is it difficult to install/use/configure?
[02:21] <TimeForBears> hou5ton: no, nvidia
[02:21] <Dick_Balls> RAnok: Thanks ;)
[02:21] <ranok> Dick_Balls, if you follow the instructions, not at all
[02:21] <mwe> Technel: I'm lost as of why it would say the file is missing.
[02:21] <ardchoille> TimeForBears: you have an nvidia card?
[02:21] <ranok> Dick_Balls, no worries mate
[02:21] <TimeForBears> ardchoille: yes
[02:21] <Technel> mwe, Alright, I will go do it again and I will get a more detailed copy of the message
[02:22] <gnomefreak> Dick_Balls: change your nick please
[02:22] <TimeForBears> ardchoille: its a 6600gt, to be precise
[02:22] <mwe> ardchoille: don't you think it's odd he gets into xorg but it wont start gnome?
[02:22] <ardchoille> TimeForBears: did you upgrade the kernel since installing the nvidia drivers?
[02:22] <hou5ton> mwe: ... you got any more ideas for me? ..... before .... with the 1440x900 settings, it would boot to a black screen after login ... now it boots to the wallpaper, but still no sound or loading the rest of Gnome.
[02:22] <ardchoille> mwe: yes, quite odd. I would think an xorg prob would not even get him into gdm
[02:22] <TimeForBears> ardchoile: how?
[02:22] <mwe> right
[02:23] <TimeForBears> ardchoille: nvidia-kernel?
[02:23] <hou5ton> mwe:  I have to switch it back to 1024x768 to get it to finish
[02:23] <ICSNickError> jonbo, found you
[02:23] <ardchoille> TimeForBears: never mind, I doubt it's that anyway.. I was just hinking out loud
[02:23] <guest> Hey Guys I am having a little trouble installing, do you think you could help me?
[02:23] <ranok> ask away
[02:23] <mwe> hou5ton: I don't know what's up. everyone seems to have weird problems today
[02:23] <fdsd> d203, hmm, cool, but what is the usage, I just googled yes and bash, but it didnt give me what I was looking for
[02:23] <ardchoille> mwe: I still think gnome broke somehow
[02:24] <mwe> ardchoille: possibly
[02:24] <razorbuzz> mwe: Count me in on that.  I have a strange one, too
[02:24] <ardchoille> TimeForBears: do you have any other desktop or window managers on that box?
[02:24] <guest> I have no idea how to redo a partition that has info on it all ready
[02:24] <mwe> ardchoille: but even fail safe seems to be somewhat broken
[02:24] <hou5ton> mwe:  I know this probably doesn't make sense, but would it be any different perhaps if I tried xfce
[02:24] <TimeForBears> ardchoille: no
[02:25] <ardchoille> mwe: oh, well if failsafe is broken then it's likely not a gnome prob
[02:25] <guest> I want the PC to use that as the root and I have a swap form another linux that I want as swap.
[02:25] <guest> how do I do that?
[02:25] <d203> fdsd: pipe the output of yes into the command that requires a yes response
[02:25] <TimeForBears> archoille: my failsafe doesnt work either
[02:25] <mwe> hou5ton: I doubt it. try
[02:25] <fdsd> d203, ok
[02:25] <guest> I had no problem on kubuntu but on ubuntu I don't know how
[02:25] <ardchoille> TimeForBears: yeah, ok. Still this is odd

[02:27] <ardchoille> johnccc: edit the perms to be only readable to you ?
[02:27] <TimeForBears> ardchoille: yes, it's odd.... it's also 1.30 am
[02:27] <TimeForBears> ardchoille: so I'm going to give up and install 5.10
[02:27] <johnccc> what if the person is already on my account?
[02:28] <ardchoille> TimeForBears: a thought: post the problem on ubuntuforums and then get some sleep, just a suggestion :)
[02:28] <mwe> razorbuzz: fcsk the drive
[02:28] <ardchoille> TimeForBears: don't install 5.10 without trying the forums at least. Never know, someone may have an answer
[02:28] <jrib> fdsd: apt-get clean, may get you enough space to get in, but make sure you free up some more
[02:28] <Vraid> mwe: yeah but... what could be wrong with it? i'm not that good with networking
[02:28] <mwe> razorbuzz: fsck that is
[02:28] <tach00> can someone help me with my keyboard, its like someone is pressing keys i am not pressing and skipping letters
[02:29] <TimeForBears> ardchoille: ok, I'll post it
[02:29] <mwe> Vraid: I don't know. dhcp settings maybe
[02:29] <ardchoille> TimeForBears: :)
[02:29] <Fracture> I have a vfat mounted drive in /media, yet only root can write to it, how do I allow normal users to use it ?
[02:29] <razorbuzz> mwe: How will running a filesystem check help? (I'm not arguing..I just like learning the "why's" behind things so I know for the future.)
[02:30] <ICSNickError> Fracture, edit permissions?
[02:30] <mwe> razorbuzz: if it's reporting wrong free space maybe it's due to corruption
[02:30] <Fracture> ICSNickError: i've tried that, chmod 777 folder, and it doesn't do anything
[02:30] <razorbuzz> Ok.
[02:30] <technel> mwe: As it turns out, your command DID work, it was just that I saw the "error" and assumed it didn't work and didn't check it. Sorry about that, and thanks :)
[02:30] <ICSNickError> hrm
[02:30] <ICSNickError> idk then
[02:30] <Fracture> ICSNickError: the permissions are drwxr-xr-x
[02:30] <Fracture> ICSNickError: even after chmod 777
[02:31] <mwe> Fracture: you need to edit mount options
[02:31] <Fracture> mwe: which option do I need to set ?
[02:31] <Fracture> mwe: i've tried -o user
[02:31] <razorbuzz> mwe: Trying to run fsck and it warns me not to run it on a mounted drive..but trying to umount, it tells me the device is busy. Force it?
[02:31] <mwe> Fracture: permissions of mount points don't have any effect on mounted file systems
[02:31] <Vraid> mwe: well, i tried with static ip and entered the ip i get by dhcp on this computer (same network cable) and i could access, but slow. Changing to automatic made no difference
[02:31] <Fracture> mwe: nope, I chmod 777 a folder on the mounted drive
[02:31] <mwe> razorbuzz: yes. run it from a live cd if you can
[02:31] <razorbuzz> Ok.  Thanks
[02:32] <mwe> Fracture: you can't on fat
[02:32] <void^> Fracture: vfat doesn't support permissions.
[02:32] <mwe> Fracture: fat has no idea of file perms
[02:32] <i\o> I want to remove entrance from starting immediately on boot.. how can I do that?
[02:32] <Vraid> at first it had a hard time finding the dhcp
[02:32] <Fracture> void^: that's what I thought.. then how can I let  a non root user write to it ?
[02:32] <mwe> Fracture: you need to mount it differently
[02:32] <void^> Fracture: use umask
[02:32] <mwe> Fracture: -o umask=0222
[02:32] <Fracture> mwe: aaah
[02:33] <mwe> Fracture: or umask=0000 to let everybody write
[02:33] <Fracture> mwe, void^ : thanks

[02:35] <bimberi> i\o: does it have an initscript (in /etc/init.d/)?  If so 'sudo update-rc.d -f <initscript> remove'
[02:35] <xuser> Anyone know in what part of the livecd is the experienceubuntu video?
[02:36] <xuser> or what is the exact name?
[02:36] <i\o> bimberi, thanks!  Can I replace it with kdm somehow?
[02:36] <ardchoille> there's a video???
[02:36] <xuser> ardchoille: in the example dir.
[02:36] <bimberi> xuser: /usr/share/example-content ?
[02:36] <DonL> hi
[02:36] <jrib> bluefoxicy: do you know what the quote refers to?
[02:36] <xuser> bimberi: let me check.
[02:37] <mwe> i\o: be warned a lot of people seem to have had problems with kdm including myself
[02:37] <jrib> ardchoille: /etc/skel/Examples/ on an install, not sure on a live
[02:37] <ardchoille> bimberi: thanks for that.. never knew it existed.
[02:37] <bimberi> i\o: if it's installed
[02:37] <bimberi> ardchoille: np - lots of goodies in there :)
[02:37] <bluefoxicy> jrib:  Dapper breaking because 2-3 package updates the day before release shot it to shit
[02:38] <dekopolis> howdy
[02:38] <DonL> Anybody but me having problems running RealMedia files uner MPlayer?
[02:38] <ardchoille> jrib: yeah, /etc/skel/Examples is a symlink to /usr/share/example-content
[02:38] <jrib> DonL: you installed w32codecs?
[02:38] <jrib> ardchoille: oh :)
[02:38] <bluefoxicy> jrib:  bare-release dapper reportedly has broken printing and ATi drivers for a lot of people
[02:38] <ardchoille> I never knew those existed
[02:38] <DonL> Yup. Just got the latest from mplayer
[02:39] <bluefoxicy> jrib:  so half the time it just works, the other half it just sucks
[02:39] <mwe> well ati drivers are just broken for a lot of people in general :)
[02:40] <technel> I did an "apt-cache search irb" for the interactive Ruby (language) command line and it came up with ruby1.8, a package that I already installed, but for some reason it says that the command "irb" does not exist...why?
[02:40] <DonL> jrib, most of my problems are trying to stream from the BBC or the Australian ABC. I like the news features.
[02:40] <dekopolis> can anybody please help me uninstall a network card and reconfigure a new network card on ubu6.06server?
[02:40] <akcom> is /dev/fd0 usually a floppy drive?
[02:40] <mwe> technel: install irb maybe?
[02:41] <mwe> technel: irb1.9 to be precise
[02:41] <Jimmey> How can I set my computer up so that it can be controlled by a Windows XP machine? Like a remote desktop
[02:42] <mwe> akcom: yes

[02:42] <technel> mwe: Like I said, I tried "apt-cache search irb", but the only package that pops up is ruby1.8 -- I tried "apt-get install irb" and irb1.9, neither worked

[02:43] <mwe> technel: eneable universe
[02:43] <snoops> Jimmey yeah, you'll need vnc to control the gui, but you can always have like ssh and other things, if you want to use it as a server
[02:43] <dekopolis> Jimmey: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#Remote_Desktop

[02:44] <Jimmey> mwe, what do you suggest, then

[02:48] <^catalyst> I need a simple favr
[02:48] <TimeForBears> ardchoille, have I left out anything silly?
[02:48] <razorbuzz> mwe: fsck ran clean, no errors.  Same thing happens trying to login now, except no error. It just flashes to a terminal, then back to the GDM login screen
[02:48] <hou5ton> ok ... get this ... now the display settings are RIGHT in xfce, but the sound isn't working.
[02:48] <^catalyst> this page https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12272 won't load for me, can someone follow it thru and gimme the link to the .tar.gz for ubuntu i386 ?
[02:48] <swim> hey folks, I'm trying to install e17 following the supposed latest directions on the forum... but whenever I try to login to e17 I get an error message telling me that /opt/e17/bin/enlightenment not found... anyone run into this before?
[02:48] <david__> I would like to run as root, but i don't know how
[02:48] <void^> AJR1: apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils
[02:48] <AJR1> Exposure: i need the internet to do that dont i, or just type in terminal?
[02:49] <mwe> razorbuzz: hmm
[02:49] <mwe> TimeForBears: good post
[02:49] <niki> david__, use sudo?
[02:49] <swim> or sudo su
[02:49] <AJR1> void^: dont i need my internet to do an apt-get?
[02:49] <mwe> TimeForBears: if you get desperate install 5.10 and save a copy of xorg.conf
[02:49] <niki> AJR1, yup
[02:49] <mwe> TimeForBears: then update from 5.10
[02:49] <ardchoille> TimeForBears: Looks good to me
[02:49] <swim> or a cd
[02:50] <david__> but everytime a program tries to write to a directory not under my home directory access is denied
[02:50] <^catalyst> run the program with sudo david__
[02:50] <mwe> david__: that good
[02:50] <TimeForBears> mwe: well, I'm off to bed now, but if the forum yields nothing, I will
[02:50] <TimeForBears> there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with my xorg.conf
[02:50] <mwe> david__: in linux normal users dont have permission to muck up the system
[02:51] <david__> im not a normal useer, im david, special user :)
[02:51] <mwe> TimeForBears: if not ubuntu is broken
[02:51] <sybariten> uhm, i need some help or guidance on how to mount a couple of additional disks i have in a ubuntu server
[02:51] <zooy0rk> is the i2c_sensor module missing from dapper?
[02:51] <alink1000> okay, something ain't right with the burning thing...
[02:51] <hou5ton> how can I check the sound settings in xfce?
[02:51] <TimeForBears> mwe: is it worth me posting it?
[02:51] <sybariten> you can see the permissions for the mount points here ....  http://pastebin.ca/77415
[02:51] <ardchoille> david__: I use dvdrip and I did: sudo mkdir /home/movies && sudo chown username:username /home/movies and I use that dir with dvdrip
[02:51] <alink1000> I went and installed that recommended burner on the wiki on how to burn to a CD, right?
[02:52] <TimeForBears> mwe: on paste I mean
[02:52] <tonyyarusso> I need a desktop publishing program that will run on Ubuntu and Windows.  Does anyone have a recommendation besides Scribus, or is that probably the best?
[02:52] <ICSNickError> how can i change my resolution to something other than 640x480?
[02:52] <alink1000> so I put ubuntu on the new compliation
[02:52] <TimeForBears> mwe: the only problem with that is that I have to type it out
[02:52] <ICSNickError> like 1024x768
[02:52] <alink1000> and I click burn
[02:52] <alink1000> but it says no media is in the selected drive.
[02:52] <alink1000> :S
[02:52] <sybariten> my first question is if the ownership of the dirs under /mnt/ is important at all ....  and the permissions
[02:52] <FunkyDiscoMan> Lo
[02:52] <sybariten> or if that will change once i do the mount
[02:52] <alink1000> well?
[02:52] <mwe> TimeForBears: yes why not though its hard to spot errors not knowing the system well
[02:52] <mwe> oh
[02:53] <DarkMageZ> ICSNickError, system > Preferences > Screen Resolution
[02:53] <alink1000> can someone help me with my problem here?
[02:53] <ICSNickError> i only have the 640x480 option on that
[02:53] <TimeForBears> mwe: sod it, tomorrow if necessary. I have to work tomorrow... you know, for moeny :p
[02:53] <ardchoille> mwe: does TimeForBears prob have anything to do with the fact that it is a 64 bit system?
[02:53] <FunkyDiscoMan> ICSNickError, if you cant select the resolution you need run debconf
[02:53] <mwe> TimeForBears: heh. yeah
[02:54] <DarkMageZ> ICSNickError, you probley need to reconfigure xorg then to allow those resolutions. "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[02:54] <skavenge> alink1000: what are you trying to do now? burn the iso in windows?
[02:54] <alink1000> yes
[02:54] <mwe> ardchoille: well at least the 64bit version is less mature
[02:54] <alink1000> on CDBurnerXP Pro 3
[02:54] <alink1000> :)
[02:54] <gnomefreak> swim: heres a great link this is the way i do it http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=97199
[02:55] <FunkyDiscoMan> ICSNickError follow DarkMageZ's  "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" then reboot X with <ctl><alt><backspace>
[02:55] <ICSNickError> n/m that
[02:55] <alink1000> okay, skavenge, can you help me?
[02:55] <swim> gnomefreak: yah that's what I followed... oddly I still get that error
[02:55] <skavenge> alink1000: this isnt that hard, if the program can burn from an iso you put the cd in, select 'burn from iso/image' and its done
[02:55] <hou5ton> how can I check the sound settings in xfce?
[02:55] <gnomefreak> swim: whats the error?
[02:56] <mwe> hou5ton: alsamixer
[02:56] <swim> gnomefreak:  /opt/e17/bin/enlightenment not found
[02:56] <skavenge> alink1000: it has to be 'burn from iso/image' .. just dropping the .iso on the cd does nothing
[02:56] <ICSNickError> on the install, how can i go to the next page after i select the language(resolution doesn't all ow me to see buttons)
[02:56] <gnomefreak> swim: on dapper?
[02:56] <swim> gnomefreak: yes
[02:56] <mwe> ICSNickError: press return
[02:56] <alink1000> it's on CDBurnerXP Pro 3, and when I click "Burn" it says "No media inserted in the selected device". :S
[02:56] <DarkMageZ> ICSNickError, hold the alt key and drag the window :)
[02:57] <ardchoille> hou5ton: there is a sound button in the xfce settings manager
[02:57] <gnomefreak> swim: give me a few i have some things to do before i get to it but iirc there is something you do to make that word
[02:57] <skavenge> alink1000: that has nothing to do with linux you need to ask that in a windows channel then, thats the burning programs problem in windows
[02:57] <hou5ton> mwe:  that opens the bar graphs ... but no way to change them
[02:57] <mwe> hou5ton: oh
[02:57] <swim> gnomefreak: great thanks a lot
[02:57] <alink1000> no, it's the burning program
[02:57] <hou5ton> ardchoille:  not in mine
[02:57] <gnomefreak> swim: you used the script?
[02:57] <alink1000> that I was linked to by the ubuntu wiki
[02:57] <alink1000> on how to burn the iso onto a CD.
[02:57] <alink1000> :P
[02:57] <ardchoille> ICSNickError: can you place the mouse at that edge of the screen and have the screen scroll?
[02:58] <swim> gnomefreak: yah, followed that howto to the letter
[02:58] <alink1000> CDBurnerXP Pro 3 is the program; it's nothing to do with windows.
[02:58] <skavenge> alink1000: well its obviously not recognizing that you have a blank cdr in there or the program is pointing to the wrong drive
[02:58] <ICSNickError> ardchoille, let me check
[02:58] <mwe> well good night all
[02:58] <alink1000> hm
[02:58] <FunkyDiscoMan> Anybody know how to change the poll rate for usb mice/ mouse(s), is it compiled into the 2.6 kernel ?
[02:59] <skavenge> alink1000: nero or any other program that can burn from an iso/image can do this as well its not like you need that specific program either
[02:59] <gnomefreak> swim: run this gksudo gedit /etc/environment
[02:59] <gnomefreak> swim: let me know when it opens
[02:59] <swim> gnomefreak: opened
[02:59] <DarkMageZ> ICSNickError, if you hold down the alt key, and drag the install window around so u can see the buttons :)
[03:00] <gnomefreak> swim: PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/opt/e17/bin
[03:00] <swim> gnomefreak: i've looked in /opt/e17/bin and there is no enlightenment in there
[03:00] <skavenge> its pretty hard for me to troubleshoot this anyway since its in windows and i dont even run it on any of my machines heh
[03:00] <gnomefreak> swim: add that whole thing to the bottom
[03:00] <swim> yes the PATH is correct...
[03:00] <hou5ton> one would think there should be a "Sounds" button in the xfce Settings Manager ... but it's not there.  Is it supposed to be?
[03:00] <DarkMageZ> ICSNickError, you can click on almost any part of the window and make it move :)
[03:00] <gnomefreak> swim: its there?
[03:00] <swim> gnomefreak:  the PATH?
[03:00] <gnomefreak> swim: yes that whole line i gave you
[03:01] <ardchoille> hou5ton: perhaps someone in #xubuntu would know, but I figured that button wold be a vital one
[03:01] <swim> gnomefreak: yes it is
[03:01] <zooy0rk> is the i2c_sensor module missing from dapper? or is it compiled into the kernel?
[03:01] <gnomefreak> \swit should be at the bottom of that file
[03:01] <gnomefreak> swim: even
[03:01] <swim> gnomefreak:  it is... that's what the howto says to do... so I have done it
[03:01] <DarkMageZ> ICSNickError, only works with left alt tho, so if it hasn't been working with right alt, that's why =D
[03:02] <ardchoille> DarkMageZ: I forgot about the ALT and drag
[03:02] <ardchoille> lol
[03:02] <FunkyDiscoMan>  modprobe -l | grep i2c
[03:02] <razorbuzz> Is there a way to check drive freespace from the terminal?
[03:02] <gnomefreak> swim: i dont know than im just starting on it it worked about 2 weeks ago for me
[03:02] <skavenge> razorbuzz: df
[03:03] <swim> gnomefreak: but it doesnt really matter since "enligtenment" is not in /opt/e17/bin... and no where else for that matter
[03:03] <razorbuzz> Thanks skavenge
[03:03] <alink1000> well I'm out
[03:03] <alink1000> bai everyone
[03:03] <zooy0rk> FunkyDiscoMan, was that for me?
[03:03] <skavenge> np
[03:03] <FunkyDiscoMan> yup
[03:03] <gnomefreak> swim: running the script automaticly adds it there maybe the script is messed up and i cant install it on this box i just found out :(
[03:04] <zooy0rk> FunkyDiscoMan, I already know that i2c-sensor.ko is not on my machine ... I was wondering if something was wrong personally with my machine or if the module is not included with dapper or if possibly it has been compiled into the kernel
[03:04] <FunkyDiscoMan> lsmod will show you what you have loaded
[03:04] <ardchoille> Time for dinner, bbiab :)
[03:05] <zooy0rk> right
[03:05] <zooy0rk> its not there
[03:05] <razorbuzz> skavenge: thoughts on how to go about diagnosing where files are that are bogging the system down?
[03:06] <razorbuzz> I deleted the stuff, but it's not in the trash file, so I'm at a loss for where the real problem is
[03:06] <AJR1> need help installing ndiswrapper from .tar.gz
[03:06] <AJR1> please
[03:06] <jpanegasser> can someone help me with downgrading mysql5 to mysql 4?
[03:06] <skavenge> AJR1: ndiswrapper is in the repos why are you installing from source
[03:07] <zooy0rk> i already checked /boot/config-2.6.15-25-amd64-generic but I2C_SENSOR isn't even present ...
[03:07] <AJR1> skavenge: i need ndis to setup the wifi in ubuntu
[03:08] <skavenge> AJR1: again, if you have the universe and multiverse repositories turned on you can 'sudo apt-get install ndis-utils' instead of compiling it from source
[03:08] <ICSNickError> !cheese
[03:08] <ubotu> I know nothing about cheese
[03:08] <ICSNickError> lol
[03:08] <ICSNickError> !anthing
[03:08] <ubotu> I know nothing about anthing
[03:08] <ICSNickError> !anything
[03:08] <ubotu> I know nothing about anything
[03:08] <FunkyDiscoMan> zooyOrk check out the lmsensors page it should give you a good idea how things work http://www.lm-sensors.org/
[03:09] <AJR1> skavenge: i get " Reading .... done ... Building ... Done .... E: Couldnt find package ndis-utils"
[03:09] <skavenge> actually ndis-utils is in the base packages isnt it?

[03:22] <dli> lib8264q, a directory named ... ?
[03:22] <lib8264q> no warning messages at all
[03:22] <OHPhoneGuy> Desire?
[03:22] <lib8264q> lol
[03:22] <dstyrk> Is there a command I am not typing?
[03:22] <dli> lib8264q, sudo apt-get -f install kubuntu-desktop
[03:23] <skavenge> AJR1: you said it was aethoros based, is that the actual brand though? brand and model number would help
[03:23] <lib8264q> if i wanted the full desktop ;)
[03:23] <alex_> hey wow k3b kinda owns
[03:23] <lib8264q> just want the core
[03:23] <dstyrk> How do I get to the desktop?!!!!!
[03:23] <AJR1> skavenge: its a netgear w3111t
[03:23] <razorbuzz> dstyrk: startx

[03:23] <Penguin_> hello
[03:23] <AJR1> skavenge: ok ty
[03:23] <dli> dstyrk, can you select Sessions (to gnome fail safe), before typing username to login in gdm?
[03:24] <boga> The sound recorder in GNOME says my settings are invalid, yet I can record from the command line. Any help?
[03:24] <sybariten> what mount syntax would i need for a w95 drive, to make it writable by normal users?  A FAT drive i mean.
[03:24] <Penguin_> is there any way to boot the dapper install livecd directly to a text terminal?
[03:24] <ICSNickError> my installationb hung again when i clicked OK
[03:24] <mikal-laptop> Hi. I have a Via Eden and when I try to boot the install CD it freezes at the splash screen. Any hints?
[03:24] <dstyrk> dli What does that mean?  I don't know much about Linux yet
[03:24] <ICSNickError> on the language part
[03:24] <sybariten> i know that the fstab entry can be quite hairy
[03:25] <dli> dstyrk, at the login prompt (graphic one), there's a place called either " Options ", or "Sessions", click to select
[03:25] <dstyrk> dli... I am trying to get to the graphic one..
[03:25] <dli> dstyrk, do you have the graphic one yet?
[03:25] <luke> anyone know of a bit torrent client that will run on Command Line Interface?
[03:26] <razorbuzz> any suggestions on how to clean out unnecessary files?  My / has become full of garbage from lost files and now I can't even start an X session
[03:26] <mikal-laptop> rtorrent
[03:26] <luke> ty
[03:26] <skavenge> AJR1: okay, there are two sets of .inf and .sys files we need from the cd, athfmwdl and wg111t .. so there should be 4 files we need with an inf and sys in each of those names
[03:26] <dstyrk> dli I followed the alternate instructions.
[03:26] <dstyrk> on screen that is.
[03:27] <dli> razorbuzz, I suggest you to boot livecd, and fsck
[03:27] <AJR1> skavenge: yep .inf and .sys with those names are right infront olf me
[03:27] <razorbuzz> dii: Already have
[03:27] <skavenge> AJR1: drag the 4 of them onto the desktop, so they copy
 type man fstab in console if you want to learn otherwise give me shout in a couple of min
[03:28] <dstyrk> dli: Well any ideas?
[03:28] <AJR1> skavenge: there is the .inf and the .sys, the only other two files with the same names are .cat do u want the .cats too that would make 4?
[03:28] <dli> razorbuzz, you may try to reinstall x packages :)
[03:28] <dli> dstyrk, do you have the graphic login prompt (gdm) yet?
[03:29] <skavenge> AJR1: we should have a  athfmwdl.sys and athfmwdl.inf  and wg111t.sys and wg111t.sys
[03:29] <razorbuzz> dli: I don't believe it to be an error with the X packages. The / partition is simply full and causing issues (190gb full)
[03:29] <dstyrk> dli: no.. Haven't got that far.. I thought that after the reboot from the install would have taken me there.. What do I need to do?
[03:29] <skavenge> AJR1: sorry one of those wg111t.sys was spose to be .inf
[03:29] <AJR1> skavenge: sorry m8 yep mis understood you got them now ... dragged onto this lovely looking ubuntu desktop :)
[03:29] <dli> razorbuzz, I see, you have to clean up, nothing will run without free space
[03:29] <skavenge> AJR1: so we got all four there? open a terminal and do a 'cd Desktop'
[03:30] <razorbuzz> dli: And thus is my issue..what to clean up?  Where would the files be hiding?  I deleted them from /tmp, but they never appeared in the trash to clear from there
[03:30] <dli> dstyrk, login at console (non-graphic one), do: sudo apt-get -f install ubuntu-desktop
[03:30] <AJR1> skavenge: ok ..
[03:30] <dstyrk> dli: thanks
[03:30] <AJR1> skavenge: done ...;
[03:30] <ICSNickError> how do i install from graphic safe mode
[03:30] <lonegeek> can someone tell me what does fmt-support mean?
[03:31] <dli> razorbuzz, df -h
[03:31] <skavenge> AJR1: 'sudo ndiswrapper -i athfmwdl.inf'
[03:31] <dli> ICSNickError, it's part of gnome :)
[03:31] <AJR1> ok says "installing athxxx"
[03:31] <AJR1> skavenge: ok says "installing athxxx"
[03:31] <dstyrk> dli: it is now asking for a disk I do not have..  Or will the alternate CD work?
[03:32] <skavenge> AJR1: okay no errors though? you'll get some lines of text
[03:32] <AJR1> skavenge@ now its back to the type thing
[03:32] <dli> dstyrk, do you have network?
[03:32] <razorbuzz> dli: It shows that, as suspected, /dev/hda3 has all 190gb in use, and over 750gb free on the remaining 3 physical drives and 100gb free on /dev/hda1&2
[03:32] <AJR1> skavenge: no errors, just said installing athxxx and nothing ...
[03:32] <skavenge> AJR1: good now 'sudo ndiswrapper -i wg111t.inf'
[03:32] <cyphase> what does everyone think about having a central daemon/api/whatever for accessing/storing/etc music, photos, etc
[03:32] <lonegeek> Why would selecting a previous kernel allow linux to boot as opposed to the most recent? Does that mean something?
[03:32] <cyphase> not neccesarily 1 for everything, but something like that..
[03:33] <dstyrk> Umm.. internet?  I just put the alternte CD in.. It's running.. I don't know if its right or not
[03:33] <AJR1> skavenge: yeah done ...
[03:33] <dli> razorbuzz, then, you need to find out what's taking so much space there
[03:33] <cyphase> lonegeek, maybe the new one didn't install well
[03:33] <skavenge> AJR1: what does 'ndiswrapper -l' tell you?
[03:33] <cyphase> possibly the install process crashed or something?
[03:34] <Jimmey> Is there any way to connect to a vnc server through a web browser?
[03:34] <dli> razorbuzz, try, du -sh /usr /lib /bin /sbin /opt /home
[03:34] <AJR1> skavenge: athxxx - driver present | netwg11t driver present, hardware present
[03:34] <razorbuzz> dli:  Is there a way to list the size of different folders to help me narrow down where the pull stuff from?
[03:34] <skavenge> AJR1: good, 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper'
[03:34] <lonegeek> cyphase: well it had worked before...now i get running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) fmt-support   and it just hangs there..... so i select previous kernel and tada its fine
[03:34] <cyphase> hmm
[03:34] <AJR1> skavenge: ok
[03:34] <AJR1> skavenge: done
[03:34] <skavenge> AJR1: get any lights on it or anything?
[03:34] <AJR1> skavenge: ermmm lemme look
[03:35] <cyphase> so? anyone?
[03:35] <dli> dstyrk, if it's connected, install via network
[03:35] <dstyrk> dli:  Umm.. internet?  I just put the alternte CD in.. It's running.. I don't know if its right or not
[03:35] <dstyrk> ah..
[03:35] <AJR1> skavenge: yeah its flashing away
[03:35] <dstyrk> Yes it's connected.
[03:35] <exile> May I ask a question?
[03:35] <skavenge> AJR1: try a webpage or something
[03:35] <dstyrk> dli:  How do I do it?
[03:35] <dli> dstyrk, clean up your /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:35] <dli> !easysource > dstyrk
[03:35] <AJR1> skavenge: oh my god :) yeahh it works man!!
[03:35] <AJR1> skavenge: thanks :)
[03:35] <skavenge> AJR1: congrats

[03:36] <shiva> wifi card
[03:36] <razorbuzz> dli:  Great command! du is not one I knew before and it broke down the allocations fantastically!  Didn't show me where the files where, I suppose I need to du -sh a few more directories to find the culprit, but that put me well on my way
[03:36] <razorbuzz> Thanks so much!
[03:36] <dstyrk> dli:  I'm lost, and very new to this.

[03:37] <Jimmey> brett_, lsusb
[03:37] <shiva> where x is the if number for your ipw
[03:37] <alindeman> brett_: lsusb maybe
[03:37] <AJR1> skavenge: ok so edit /etc/modules and add "ndiswrapper"
[03:37] <KhatVong> dli, i did that and nothing happened
[03:37] <dli> dstyrk, ask ubotu about easysource, you need to make a new /etc/apt/sources.list, then upgrade
[03:37] <AJR1> skavenge: can you help me out on another front plz if its ok
[03:37] <shiva> KhatVong might also try some iwconfig
[03:37] <brett_> I see the list...  not sure which one is my ext hard drive...
[03:37] <dli> KhatVong, now, " lsmod|grep ipw "
[03:38] <skavenge> AJR1: yes, you may need sudo before it say 'sudo gedit /etc/modules' will work for sure then add ndiswrapper to the bottom and saave

[03:39] <Jimmey> mount it, brett_
[03:39] <^catalyst> brett_: where is it mounted?

[03:39] <skavenge> AJR1: whats the error, ill try and help if i can but i only have one drive one OS so this is not my area of expertise .. ive done my share of ndiswrapper though heh
[03:39] <brett_> I'm not sure it is mounted....  I see it in the Gnome guyi
[03:39] <brett_> gui that is.... but not in terminal
[03:39] <dstyrk> dli: They told me this was going to be easy... This has been a pain in the but from day one..   I have no idea what you are talking about with the easysource and what not.

[03:40] <KhatVong> lo, sit0 and eth0 are no wireless extension, eth1 is the wireless card, it also list some of the wireless info
[03:40] <brett_> It was in /media.... thanks.
[03:40] <dli> KhatVong, now, you can configure your eth1 up

[03:43] <lonegeek> Why does it hang on boot at     running local boot scripts (rc.local) fmt-support.... What causes that?
[03:43] <AJR1> skavenge: ok thanks man, do u ever use skype or ?

[03:43] <exile> I have been messing around with linux for a couple months now
[03:43] <FunkyDiscoMan> are you happy enough it is just the instaler hanging

[03:43] <KhatVong> dli, I remember I followed the direction on forum , I typed in some command to list the WAP around me something like "iwlist wlan0..." or something. It didn't work
[03:43] <AJR1> skavenge: if theres anything you need teaching in ubuntu ... pm me :P
[03:44] <KhatVong> I had to change it from wlan0 to eth1 in order for it to list out the WAP
[03:44] <exile> letting it sit there for a while, then I restarted the installation a couple of times to see if it would work, but no lucj
[03:44] <skavenge> AJR1: no problem i know what its like going through that wireless networking, good luck
[03:44] <razorbuzz> dli: Dude... you rock.  I tracked the waste of space to /root/.Trash
[03:44] <netcatc> i'm getting mirror for openoffice ? someone have any idea
[03:44] <^catalyst> any ideas on how to set ALSA as default for all sound output?
[03:44] <AJR1> skavenge: thankyou :)
[03:44] <FunkyDiscoMan> ok you can do the server install and use the text installer
[03:44] <AJR1> all : anyone know how to mark hard drives accessible within ubuntu?
[03:45] <FunkyDiscoMan> then use apt-get to give you X and gnome
[03:45] <exile> Is that just a base install?
[03:45] <netcatc> amd64 please
[03:45] <FunkyDiscoMan> yes
[03:45] <exile> ok i will try that, hold up going to switch this to my laptop
[03:45] <ardchoille> Is there an issue with the installer on the Desktop CD? If so, what is the issue? I want to be prepared in case it arrises.
[03:46] <brett_> Anyone know how to do a mount command for an ext hard drive?  Do I need to edit my etc/fstab?
[03:47] <Tom7e> i want to remove Totem, but it depends on ubuntu-desktop, can I remove that?  or is that bad?
[03:48] <Smeggy> its just a meta-package
[03:48] <bimberi> ardchoille: it works for many, whereas some have reported issues - you could check through its bugs on Launchpad
[03:48] <Smeggy> you can remove it just fine
[03:48] <skavenge> Tom7e: its something you'll want to reinstall if you ever upgrade the whole distro but its actually a meta package, doesnt contain anything but a list of other packages really
[03:49] <skavenge> ardchoille: so far as i've seen its completely hardware specific, mine and many others went like glass then i've seen others with some pretty nasty problems
[03:49] <netcatc> i'm getting mirror for openoffice for amd64 , someone does have any idea or better one mirror
[03:49] <Tom7e> skavenge:  so it won't remove those other packages, right?
[03:49] <skavenge> Tom7e: nope
[03:50] <brett_> uh oh... I did a umount on my USB drive, now it's goine... how do I mount it again..  it was under /dev/sdf1
[03:50] <ardchoille> skavenge: ah, thank yu. I haven't seen a problem on 11 boxes.. guess I've been lucky
[03:50] <skavenge> Tom7e: should be fine, only reason i mentioned the installing it later if you distro upgrade is i hear it makes it a bit smoother
[03:50] <wizardjames> is there any guides on how to setup a server so that you got everything working? dont say lamp casue i already got that.
[03:50] <Tom7e> skavenge:  ok thanks

[04:04] <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
[04:04] <lib8264q> do you not get an option to install it as a server when the cd starts up .... alternate installer cd
[04:05] <bimberi> ICSNickError: it's not that name, of the metapackages i can see it's most likely ubuntu-standard - "This set of packages provides a comfortable text-only Unix-like environment."
[04:05] <ICSNickError> b;ah
[04:05] <ICSNickError> i dont want a text only
[04:06] <bimberi> ICSNickError: that's what you get with a server install
[04:06] <ICSNickError> it is?
[04:06] <lib8264q> test installer ;)
[04:06] <ICSNickError> er
[04:06] <bimberi> ICSNickError: you can then add extra stuff later
[04:06] <lib8264q> text*
[04:06] <ardchoille> ICSNickError: are you wanting LAMP?
[04:06] <lib8264q> yep
[04:07] <ICSNickError> are there web editing utilities on desktop?
[04:07] <exile2129> funky?
[04:07] <ICSNickError> yes i want lamp
[04:07] <ICSNickError> too
[04:07] <ardchoille> !lamp
[04:07] <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
[04:07] <lib8264q> server disk has no desktop ...

[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !wine > Patrick_
[04:09] <FunkyDiscoMan> what setup did you have
[04:09] <ICSNickError> i have a remote shell in washington
[04:09] <Xorlev> I doubt that statement, ICSNickError.
[04:09] <AJR1> skavenge: the .inf files i copied can i delete them from the desktop now m8?
[04:09] <Patrick_> jack_sparrow, is it really THAT hard to answer such a simple bloody question? I'm on dialup and it takes forever to use a web browser.
[04:09] <Xorlev> Ah, you have a shell. This is a bit different (to setup a box). :P
[04:09] <lib8264q> if its used for  server install ....  by default  no desktop  ...  actual server cd  ... (lamp server)
[04:09] <Stoned2daBones> can someone help me to connect my ipod?

[04:10] <exile2129> FunkyDiscoMan: I think i have the chip name or whatever
[04:10] <ICSNickError> i cant use graphical
[04:10] <Killeroid> stoned2dabones: get gtkpod
[04:10] <Stoned2daBones> I got it
[04:10] <Xorlev> So what's the problem, ICS? What are you trying to install?
[04:10] <ardchoille> ICSNickError: do you mean: sudo apt-get install appname  ?
[04:10] <LoneShadow> how do I pass parameters to my my pgm, when I load it using start-stop-daemon -s -e pgm ?
[04:10] <ICSNickError> ardchoille, i guess
[04:11] <ICSNickError> i cant use graphical install cuz it hangs
[04:11] <Killeroid> stoned2dabones: then its as easy as connecting your ipod to your system and then telling gtkpod to search for devices
[04:11] <Xorlev> You mean the actual install?
[04:11] <ardchoille> ICSNickError: oh, ok, then my suggestion won't work. I thought you meant for installing apps.
[04:11] <ICSNickError> i tried install ubuntu-desktop
[04:11] <FunkyDiscoMan> ICSNickError right get ya
[04:11] <lib8264q> ics  i had same problem om my lappy ....

[04:25] <camolion> yay amarok fixed ^^
[04:25] <Const> Jack_Sparrow: oh yeah, those are installed.
[04:25] <cci[RR] us> the link doesnt say anything that i wanna know
[04:25] <ardchoille> ICSNickError: I bought my Ubuntu disks from Linux Central and they sent me the desktop cd, the server cd and the alternate cd in about 4 days
[04:25] <FunkyDiscoMan> see what modules you got loaded lsmod | grep sata
[04:25] <Const> Jack_Sparrow: but thats for like divx, xvid and such.. I'm referring to dvds only
[04:25] <ardchoille> ICSNickError: http://linuxcentral.com/catalog/?s_prod_name=ubuntu&set_join=and&cat=search
[04:26] <Killeroid> cci[RR] us: run ff with root permissions and update
[04:26] <cci[RR] us> not thru apt-get
[04:26] <exile2129> sata_nv and libata
[04:26] <Stoned2daBones> It Worked, thanks guys!
[04:26] <cci[RR] us> would that be ok?
[04:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Just wanted to make sure you had the basics for MM
[04:26] <Killeroid> you can also
[04:26] <FunkyDiscoMan> ok
[04:26] <cheeseman557> anyone know how to create a logical partition?
[04:26] <cci[RR] us> apt-get thinks firefox is not installed in the first place
[04:26] <cci[RR] us> cheeseman557: u mean LVM?
[04:27] <cheeseman557> errr i dunno
[04:27] <Healot> or as in extended primary logical disk?
[04:27] <Jimmey> Why do I get a grey screen when I connect to my VNC server using the Java applet?
[04:27] <xenoterracide> you know jack_sparrow if the theory is that the IRC count means the number that needs help then kubuntu is better than ubuntu
[04:27] <Const> Jack_Sparrow: any other ideas?
[04:27] <Patrick_> the folder seems to be hidden in the regular file browsers, how can I make it so I can view such folders in the file browser?
[04:27] <Jimmey> Patrick_: CTRL + H
[04:27] <cheeseman557> what type of partition should i use if i just want to install ubuntu onto a unformatted, continuous space?
[04:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Const did you Google it
[04:28] <Const> Jack_Sparrow: yes I have.
[04:28] <cci[RR] us> EXT3 or Reiserfs or XFS, etc
[04:28] <Healot> ext3 - recommended
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> cheeseman557: all you need is empty space, let it do it automagically
[04:28] <Const> Jack_Sparrow: I believe the next step is where I am now. :)
[04:28] <cci[RR] us> ubuntu can be installed to either primary or logical (inside exteneded)
[04:28] <FunkyDiscoMan> has anybody heard about ext4
[04:28] <cheeseman557> will it delete my other windows partition?
[04:28] <cci[RR] us> ho
[04:28] <cci[RR] us> no
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> No
[04:28] <Jimmey> FunkyDiscoMan: no - Have you?
[04:28] <exile2129> yeah
[04:28] <FunkyDiscoMan> much annoounced about ext4 yet?
[04:28] <cheeseman557> will it delete anything at all?
[04:28] <cci[RR] us> no
[04:28] <Healot> yes, if you choose use the WHOLE partition, cheeseman557
[04:29] <Healot> disk*
[04:29] <exile2129> still in dev
[04:29] <Jack_Sparrow> If you tell it available space.. No
[04:29] <FunkyDiscoMan> Jimmey: think its just really update for large disks / raid
[04:29] <cheeseman557> ok thanks
[04:29] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[04:29] <cheeseman557> this is quite a humbling experience
[04:30] <cyphase> What does everyone think about having a standard interface/location to access media on the desktop? That way, for example, you can access the same music library, with the same ratings/playcount/etc, from a music player like Rhythmbox, or from a media center suite like MythTV. Not just music of course. Photos, Video, etc could also use this model.
[04:30] <Jimmey> Who's responsible for the ext set of filesystems?
[04:30] <exile2129> FunkyDiscoMan: you have an idea?
[04:30] <FunkyDiscoMan> exile2129 did you see what usb modules loaded
[04:31] <vader1102> Okay I do a lot of blogging and want to know how do I find out how do I find what version of GNOME I am using?
[04:31] <exile2129> i type: lsusb and nothing happens
[04:31] <Cornellius> http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxnut5/ Looks like an awesome book
[04:31] <seraph> good morning all
[04:31] <ruxpin> morning
[04:31] <seraph> what difference is there between Ubuntu server and desktop 6.06?
[04:31] <FunkyDiscoMan> type "lsmod | grep usb"
[04:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Const I just ran synaptic and found this libdvdcss
[04:31] <seraph> apart from packages
[04:31] <cyphase> Something like Front Row on Mac, but better
[04:31] <Jimmey> seraph, none.
[04:32] <seraph> excellent
[04:32] <exile2129> usbcore is loaded
[04:32] <seraph> thanks :)
[04:32] <Jimmey> There's a different kernel, no graphical desktop
[04:32] <Const> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah and its installed on my system as well
[04:32] <Killeroid> seraph:  server,no gui
[04:32] <Const> Jack_Sparrow: but totem apparently doesn't see it.
[04:32] <Const> Jack_Sparrow: because its complaining that it doesn't exist.. or I have a different package that is interfering with it thats not listed in the wiki
[04:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Im out of suggestions.. Sorry
[04:33] <Jimmey> Const, what's the problem
[04:33] <Jimmey> ?
[04:33] <FunkyDiscoMan> no usbhid ?
[04:33] <dakine> where can ya go to find raw rookie stuff, like how do ya get and run nautilus, how do i import firefox bookmarks and finally why cant i use partition magic ti set up my drive so i can install dd 6.06 9usin a live cd now)
[04:33] <cyphase> Anyone?
[04:33] <Const> Jimmey: I've gone through all the steps to get encrypted dvd playback to work in totem and it still says that libdvdcss doesn't exist or something.
[04:33] <exile2129> no
[04:33] <Const> Jimmey: It asks "are you sure you've installed libdvdcss?"
[04:33] <Jack_Sparrow> dakine: you already have Nautilus
[04:33] <dakine> no i dont!!!
[04:34] <Jimmey> Const, maybe the disk's knackered. It said that to me when I had a dodgey disk :)
[04:34] <Jimmey> Const, if you've followed the appropriate links in..
[04:34] <dakine> ther is 1 file in the directory, its some metafile and not clickable

[04:34] <Jack_Sparrow> dakine:  click on places desktop what happens
[04:34] <Const> Jimmey: I personally think its a conflicting package.
[04:34] <Rug> cyphase: I hate it.  MS tried that bullsh|t with:  My Documents, My Music, My p0rn, etc...
[04:34] <Jimmey> Const, if you've followed what's in there, then you might want to try another DVD
[04:35] <dakine> i will have to spin it up and copy down what is says...brb
[04:35] <cyphase> Rug, you hate it personally, or you'd hate for it to be created at all?
[04:35] <Killeroid> dakine: nautilus is an intergrated part of gnome,you already have it
[04:35] <Const> Jimmey: The weird part is the same steps were done on my two other boxes and they're working.
[04:35] <Jimmey> With that very same CD?
[04:36] <Jack_Sparrow> dakine:  click on places then desktop ... That IS Nautilus
[04:36] <ICSNickError> My install hung again
[04:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !!!
[04:36] <ubotu> I know nothing about !!
[04:36] <Jimmey> Const, try "sudo apt-get install totem-xine; sudo apt-get --purge remove totem-gstreamer"
[04:36] <FunkyDiscoMan> exile what was the last output
[04:36] <dakine> i dont even have gnome...i get a generic desktop, besides there is nowhere to type in a command
[04:36] <Jimmey> !anything!!
[04:36] <ubotu> I know nothing about anything!!
[04:36] <Const> jimmey: I'll try it.. and heres a funny thing.. dvds work with mplayer
[04:36] <Const> jimmey: but not with totem
[04:37] <Rug> cyphase: I hate the force-fed behaviour.  I liked my docs in:  c:/docs/$topic my music was in m:/mp3 and my videos in v:/movies    _I_ want my stuff organized MY way.
[04:37] <Jack_Sparrow> dakine:  why ask in this channel if you are not running this software?
[04:37] <exile2129> of lsmod | grep usb?  usbcore
[04:37] <vader1102> dakine, did you install Ubuntu or a different one?
[04:37] <cyphase> Rug, i'm not at all suggesting you be forced to follow that structure
[04:37] <cyphase> i'm just saying, make it an option
[04:37] <turtlboy> hello
[04:37] <dakine> ubuntu 'daffy duck' distro live ver 6.06
[04:37] <Jimmey> !Ubuntu Linux!!
[04:37] <ubotu> I know nothing about Ubuntu Linux!!
[04:37] <Killeroid> daffy duck?!!
[04:38] <medverd> hi all
[04:38] <turtlboy> I've got a question about dapper + mythtv + mysql
[04:38] <Cornellius> Suggest me some good or needed Linux books, come on.
[04:38] <vader1102> dakine, you mean xubuntu?
[04:38] <FunkyDiscoMan> not look something like                  usbcore               130692  4 usbhid,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd
[04:38] <turtlboy> I want to use mythtv .18.1
[04:38] <Jimmey> Const, let me know how that goes
[04:38] <medverd> I have trouble getting network working on Ubuntu 6.06
[04:38] <turtlboy> which is the default on dapper
[04:38] <dakine> let me go spin it up again...i spent about 4 hrs last nite tryin to find nautilus  or gnome, they aint there
[04:38] <exile2129> yeah it has that
[04:38] <ardchoille> vader1102: xubuntu is the xfce desktop
[04:38] <medverd> I cannot even ping the router
[04:38] <turtlboy> but it depends on mysql 5
[04:39] <turtlboy> which has problems. it installs fine, but the database is wrong
[04:39] <Const> Jimmey: says that totem-xine installed and that totem-gstreamer doesn't exist
[04:39] <Rug> cyphase: if you make it too easy for the sheep, then you are stuck with those patterns.  Make these fcukers learn the OS.
[04:39] <Killeroid> dakine: the window manager(gui) is gnome.its what make you see all those windows
[04:39] <vader1102> ardchoille, I know but he is saying that he doesn't have Nautilud. That could be why
[04:39] <exile2129> but it says: usbcore                  129668    4 acx,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd
[04:39] <vader1102> Nautilus
[04:39] <ardchoille> vader1102: ahh, true
[04:39] <turtlboy> when i go to fill the database with mythfilldatabase, i get screenfull after screenfull of error messages.
[04:39] <Jimmey> Const, did you "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh"
[04:39] <Jimmey> ?
[04:39] <cyphase> Rug, huh? make them learn the OS? what's that have to do with anything?
[04:39] <turtlboy> any ideas?
[04:40] <turtlboy> i tried downgrading to mysql 4.1, but dapper isn't liking it for some reason
[04:40] <Rug> cyphase: it was an Option in Windows for My Documents..
[04:40] <Const> Jimmey: Yes of course.
[04:40] <Rug> now nobody knows how to use explorer to find shit on the HD
[04:41] <Jimmey> Const, pfff.
[04:41] <Jimmey> Const, have you tried another DVD?
[04:41] <vader1102> Rug, like what.... I came in late on this one
[04:41] <Jimmey> Rug, what's the problem?
[04:41] <Zapple> why does grub have to be so problematic
[04:41] <Rug> vader1102: cyphase was if I liked the idea of a Central storage/access area for Media.
[04:42] <Killeroid> Zapple: whats your problem?
[04:42] <Rug> Jimmey: no problem!!
[04:42] <vader1102> ohhhhhhhhh sorry Rug
[04:42] <Const> Jimmey: no I have not
[04:42] <cyphase> vader1102: you came in *right* after my initial comment. i'll pm it to you
[04:42] <Const> Jimmey: Thats not the problem.
[04:42] <vader1102> no worries cyphase
[04:42] <Zapple> when I set my BIOS to boot to the drive containing windows, it will boot windows correctly. However, when I set it to boot to the Ubuntu drive, I get GRUB, and grub won't load anything. When I try to boot Ubuntu from GRUB I get an Error 17 and when I try to boot Windows from GRUB it just flashes to something and immediatley returns to the GRUB menu.
[04:42] <sky0> Cornellius: A Practical Guide to UNIX System V
[04:42] <cyphase> Rug, not central storage for central storage's sake
[04:43] <Zapple> I
[04:43] <Zapple> I've tried recovering it a few times
[04:43] <Jimmey> Const, it works just fine with Mplayer, on the same system?
[04:43] <Zapple> and now I think I might try windows grub
[04:43] <alink1000> Okay, I need urgent help.
[04:43] <Rug> cyphase: what would you like to see happen?  (I am not familiar with Mac so don't refer to them please)
[04:43] <Cornellius> sky0: Think I'll Oreily - Linux In A Nutshell 5th Edition
[04:43] <alink1000> See, I installed ubuntu server, right?
[04:43] <Const> Jimmey: Correct
[04:43] <Rug> alink1000: ask nicely then
[04:43] <alink1000> And I'm having trouble booting it up.
[04:43] <Cornellius> sky0: Think I'll buy ...
[04:43] <alink1000> Okay
[04:43] <alink1000> Please.
[04:44] <cyphase> Rug, i'm not either, i just know about that program. but anyway..
[04:44] <alink1000> It just takes me to do commands and stuff
[04:44] <alink1000> and go to the manual...
[04:44] <alink1000> how to I boot it up and get to the desktop?
[04:44] <ardchoille> Zapple: why are you changing the bios settings to boot from different drives? I have two hard drives with two distros on one and on one the other and grub can boot Linux from either disk.
[04:44] <cyphase> what i mean is, have a standard way to access media, feeds, whatever..
[04:44] <Jimmey> alink1000: You shouldn't have installed the server. "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[04:44] <Killeroid> alink1000: you need to install a desktop
[04:44] <alink1000> that's how?
[04:44] <cyphase> then each program can decide if it wants to use it or not
[04:45] <Jimmey> alink1000, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:45] <Rug> cyphase: ahh
[04:45] <alink1000> ah, thanks for the help. :)
[04:45] <cyphase> or it could support it's own library and the central library
[04:45] <vader1102> Killeroid, you beat me to the puch.... derned slow fingers lol
[04:45] <Rug> cyphase: that sounds awefully like a KDE kind of thing.
[04:45] <Killeroid> vader1102: :)
[04:45] <cyphase> what thing?
[04:46] <Rug> cyphase: having DCOP style command manage everything
[04:46] <cyphase> i don't know about that..
[04:46] <alink1000> wait, it says it couldn't find the package.
[04:46] <alink1000> :S
[04:46] <tich> how do i my change my theme for programs affected by root so that i matches the rest of the computers theme?
[04:46] <intelligi> Ubuntu just crashed for me. I was trying to do an iwconfig while loading a Firefox. Is that normal?
[04:46] <cyphase> i haven't really thought about technical design that much
[04:46] <cyphase> just the concept
[04:46] <Rug> konqueror prolly can do it via the plugins
[04:46] <ardchoille> tich: you using gnome?
[04:46] <alink1000> so...now what?
[04:47] <tich> ardchoille: yeah i am using gnome.
[04:47] <turtlboy> does anybody know how to downgrade dapper's mysql to 4.1 instead of 5.0?
[04:47] <ardchoille> tich: gksudo gnome-theme-manager
[04:47] <Zapple> ardchoille: because I installed Windows (on hda1) after Linux, so now it boots directly to that drive instead of booting to the drive with grub
[04:47] <vader1102> alink1000, what I would do is edit the sources.list and add in the other repos
[04:47] <exile> I am using xubuntu and is there anyway to set the panel settings back to default somehow? Like the applications menu and such?
[04:48] <snoops> !grub > Zapple
[04:48] <cyphase> Rug, something like this: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntu-media-center
[04:48] <alink1000> meh, screw it, I'll just burn desktop CD using my dad's mac, and then use that.
[04:48] <alink1000> :P
[04:48] <alink1000> peace for now, guys.
[04:48] <alink1000> :)
[04:48] <Zapple> snoops: yeah
[04:48] <snoops> Zapple follow that guide and you can fix that right up
[04:48] <wastrel> ubunto
[04:48] <ardchoille> exile: you mean with Applications, Places, System ?
[04:48] <mooseman447> hey
[04:48] <exile> I am using xubuntu so it only had applications and places but yeah
[04:49] <exile> cause i screwed it up
[04:49] <ardchoille> exile: I installed xubuntu-desktop and it only has Applications, the Places and System aren't there
[04:49] <mooseman447> im considering opening up free easy hosting for a couple buddies of mine but one is pretty good with computers i want to give them ssh access is there anyway i can log it so i know they dont somehow hack me?
[04:49] <vader1102> Killeroid, isn't the ubuntu-desktop in the regular repos w/o having to enable the others?
[04:49] <exile> ok then that
[04:49] <Killeroid> vader1102: yeah
[04:49] <ardchoille> exile: that *is* the default
[04:50] <exile> cause i can't remember, ive been switching between gnome and xfce, thanks ardchoille
[04:50] <vader1102> I thought so.... I wonder why that feller couldn't find the package
[04:50] <ardchoille> exile: yw :)
[04:50] <Zapple> well, how do you know how things translate for grub?
[04:50] <Killeroid> vader1102: he probably made a typo when putting in the command
[04:50] <snoops> Zapple sorry?
[04:50] <vader1102> probly
[04:51] <Zapple> nvm
[04:51] <exile> ardchoille: can you help?
[04:51] <Zapple> I think I understand
[04:51] <ardchoille> exile: I can sure try :)
[04:51] <exile> thanks
[04:53] <snoops> Zapple what happened is, windows overwrote the mbr on the hdd. The mbr contains two things, a boot loader, and a partition table. What you need to do is reinstall grub, which will again rewrite the boot loader part of the mbr, it'll also detect windows, and give you the option to boot from it
[04:53] <mooseman447> anybody want to help me?
[04:53] <Killeroid> mooseman47: whaddya need?
[04:53] <Const> jimmey: I figured it out
[04:53] <ardchoille> mooseman447: what is the problem?
[04:53] <exile> ardchoille: i have to eat ill be back in like 10 minutes
[04:54] <ardchoille> exile: ok
[04:54] <jturek> hi everybody
[04:54] <Zapple> snoops: yeah, I'm just confused about how to reinstall grub
[04:54] <mooseman447> ardchoille i want to setup webhosting for a couple friends and i would give them ssh access but one is very good with computers so is there any way i can log ssh to see if they are trying to mess with me?
[04:54] <ardchoille> jturek: hi
[04:54] <Zapple> i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#head-f5b2b33b369cf4e319ad0f1df557c42290ba2d33
[04:54] <jturek> My sound works on GDM (i hear the drums)  but when gnome starts.. i get a red X over my volume manager.. and it says no sound card is enabled
[04:55] <Zapple> using the install cd
[04:55] <Killeroid> mooseman447: the sshd automaticaly logs all access unless you specify that it shouldnt
[04:55] <jturek> "no volume control Gstreamer devices found.. or something like that
[04:55] <mooseman447> where does it store the logs?
[04:55] <vader1102> /var/log/messages?
[04:55] <exile> ardchoille: nevermind no food yet hah
[04:55] <ardchoille> exile: hehe
[04:56] <exile> yo have any ideas about my problem though
[04:56] <ardchoille> exile: what problem?
[04:56] <wastrel> /var/log/auth.log
[04:56] <exile> i screwed up the panels, i want to set the back to default
[04:56] <NKayhan> Hi, I need to install synaptic again, as I have uninstalled it
[04:56] <vader1102> exile, I have no idea how to reset back to default
[04:56] <exile> oh ok
[04:56] <wastrel> but it only logs the connection, not what the user does.
[04:56] <ardchoille> exile: xfce doesn't have "Places" and "System", it only has "Applications"
[04:56] <jturek> so how come my sound works when gdm starts but not with gnome?  what can i do to fix it?
[04:57] <exile> ok
[04:57] <Killeroid> NKayhan: are you serious?
[04:57] <mooseman447> wastel ok great that its is there anyway to record they're commands or should i not be concered if i have a decent root pswd?
[04:57] <vader1102> jturek, with my laptop, If I run KDE I have no sound but with GNOME, I do .... go figure lol
[04:57] <ardchoille> Killeroid: is that anything like chmod a-x chmod  ?, lol
[04:58] <RShadow> is anybody else having issues with the security repo?
[04:58] <NKayhan> killeroid: yea, it was all buggered up, and I tried to reinstall it but it didn't like that
[04:58] <RShadow> Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2  Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)
[04:58] <wastrel> mooseman447:  a user with a shell account can explot local vulnerabities and attain root, without cracking the root password.
[04:58] <jturek> vader1102, i have no sound in KDE or gnome...  But i do hear the drums when gdm starts LOL
[04:58] <Draconicus> I'm hoping this channel will be more helpful than ##linux
[04:58] <mooseman447> wastrel what type of measures can i take to best avoid that?
[04:58] <RShadow> any ideas?
[04:58] <Draconicus> Who here has experience with N64 emulators?
[04:58] <vader1102> what is the sound chip jturek
[04:59] <tonyyarusso> Is there any easy way to get a list of all of the packages you have installed that were not installed by default?  Either a listing of aptitude commands or a diff between installed packages and default install?
[04:59] <wastrel> mooseman447:  i've never looked into security against local users because i don't have any other users on my systems.
[04:59] <mooseman447> ok does anybody know anything about securing local users?
[04:59] <wastrel> mooseman447:  make sure you update regularly whenever there are updates available, remove all but the necessary software packages
[04:59] <jturek> Ac97
[04:59] <ardchoille> mooseman447: I have a tip from a veteran Red hat dev, want it?
[05:00] <vader1102> mooseman447, I do, but it is limited. My son cannot install anyhting on my wifes pc
[05:00] <jturek> i have a Dell D610
[05:00] <mooseman447> ardchoille ill take any tip
[05:00] <raf256> http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Image:UbuntuLogo2.png =)
[05:00] <exile> ardchoille, can we talk in the user to user thing?
[05:00] <jturek> of course when i boot the ubuntu live cd, sound works lol
[05:00] <mooseman447> vader1102 how did you do that?
[05:00] <vader1102> jturek, I hate to do this but google it
[05:00] <jturek> i have, and wiki'ed it, and forumed it
[05:00] <n00dles> yo
[05:00] <Draconicus> Just as I suspected. Nobody knows anything about the subject.
[05:00] <Draconicus> Yay.
[05:01] <jturek> only thing i haven't done is fscked it lol
[05:01] <Draconicus> I gave my life to Linux. Now I find that I'm missing out on so much. :\
[05:01] <Draconicus> At the same time I'm escaping so many evils...
[05:01] <ardchoille> mooseman447: add yourself to the wheel group, then sudo chown root:wheel /bin/su && sudo chmod 4750 /bin/su . Then replace the text in /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net with something like "Hi", no need to advertise the OS.
[05:01] <Draconicus> What to do?
[05:01] <wastrel> mooseman447:  make sure your umask is set so that default perms are only for user
[05:01] <vader1102> mooseman447, I just did it through the system admin users and group. Made a non apt user goup and added him
[05:01] <mooseman447> ardchoille wheel group?
[05:01] <jturek> thought maybe ubotu would have a top or two with getting sound to work in gnome :)
[05:01] <polpak> Draconicus: perhaps if you asked a real question someone might be able to help you
[05:02] <ardchoille> mooseman447: yes, be sure you are in the wheel group before chown and chmod
[05:02] <intelligi> Did anyone get back to me regarding Ubuntu crashing when I refreshed Firefox and did an iwconfig?
[05:02] <polpak> Draconicus: rather than asking "does anybody" etc
[05:02] <polpak> !anybody
[05:02] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[05:02] <mooseman447> how about does anybody know how to "lock" a user to their home directory?
[05:02] <intelligi> Also, my computer didn't want to come back from hibernation. That was a problem I had in Windows.
[05:02] <Draconicus> polpak: If nobody here has experience with the topic, it's not worth asking about.
[05:02] <RShadow> Am I the only one having issues with the security dapper repo?
[05:02] <polpak> Draconicus: I'm sure that there are people who have some level of experience with them
[05:02] <bimberi> ardchoille: is this ubuntu?  it has no wheel group.  the admin group is used for sudo access
[05:02] <mooseman447> ardchoille ok ill try to figure it out thanks
[05:03] <wastrel> mooseman447:  you'd have to run a restricted shell for that user, rather than bash.  it's very limiting
[05:03] <vader1102> RShadow, I did yesterday, but I now use the IS mirror and all is well
[05:03] <n00dles> does any1 have exp helpin me w. installation problems?
[05:03] <polpak> Draconicus: but if you can't be bothered to ask a question I can't be bothered to try and help you
[05:03] <weakwire> hi how can i put more options on "add to panel" panel on 6.06? i need emifreq
[05:03] <RShadow> vader1102, I'll give it a shot.. thanks
[05:03] <ardchoille> bimberi: yes, the admin group can be used, then
[05:03] <mooseman447> wastrel all they have is web hosting so i dont think they need many commands
[05:03] <vader1102> yw
[05:03] <ardchoille> bimberi: using the wheel group is an old habit of mine
[05:04] <polpak> mooseman447: how do you mean restrict them to thier home directory?
[05:04] <vader1102> RShadow, it is US mirror
[05:04] <eobanb> the dapper powerpc liveCD can resize HFS partitions, right?
[05:04] <polpak> mooseman447: they'd need to be able to read/execute stuff in the bin directories obviously
[05:04] <eobanb> anyone know?
[05:04] <Draconicus> Fine, then. Where can I find plugins for Mupen64 apart from what comes standard?
[05:04] <polpak> mooseman447: otherwise the system wouldn't be useable for anything other than file storage
[05:04] <mooseman447> polpak i dont want them to try to cd to places if i make a mistake and they can
[05:04] <stevejesus> for some reason my computer is trying to start "915resolution" on startup.  I dont have any Intel video so this is stopping me from successfully booting.  i booted in recovery mode and did an "apt-get remove 915resolution" and completed with success.  it is still trying to load 915resolution on boot though, which it cannot find of course and i am still unable to boot.  is there a way to get rid of this?
[05:04] <mooseman447> polpak all im providing them is web hosting
[05:05] <ardchoille> polpak: he means so that users can't "cd" to anywhere outside their $HOME
[05:05] <weakwire> hi how can i put more options on "add to panel" panel on 6.06? i need emifreq please help me
[05:05] <bimberi> ardchoille: you too :)
[05:05] <ardchoille> bimberi: hehe
[05:05] <RShadow> vader1102, thanks.. seems to be working now..
[05:05] <polpak> mooseman447: then don't give them shell access, and use an (s)ftp server which chroots them
[05:05] <vader1102> RShadow, cool
[05:05] <vader1102> feels good for someone with limited know how to help ;-)
[05:05] <n00dles> i cant seem to install ubuntu
[05:06] <mooseman447> polpak yea i have a ftp server but i thought they would like to change their password and wget and simple stuff like that
[05:06] <vader1102> n00dles, what is the problem?
[05:06] <joebu23> need some help with getting a tv tuner card to work
[05:06] <polpak> mooseman447: the less access you give them the better. You can create a web interface for updating their passwords if you like
[05:06] <n00dles> well, i installed it usin the OEM but it just got to a gray screen after installation and does nothing
[05:06] <cyphase> argh
[05:06] <mooseman447> polpak how would i go about doing that?
[05:07] <intelligi> What do I need to get in the Syanptic Package Manager to allow windscp and putty to connect to my computer?
[05:07] <polpak> mooseman447: but giving them shell access just increases the number of security risks you'll encounter without any real benifit on your part
[05:07] <mooseman447> intelligi openssh
[05:07] <cyphase> we need a GUI X configuration program
[05:07] <vader1102> n00dles, does it work if you try doing the recovery mode from GRUB?
[05:07] <jlf> Hello, how can I tell apt-get that I want it to use testing/unstable packages?
[05:07] <bimberi> weakwire: there's a emifreq-applet package in universe

[05:08] <polpak> Draconicus: do you know of a particular plugin you are looking for? or are you just thinking that there's some list of them and you want to know how to find it?
[05:08] <joebu23> my box sees the tuner card, but lists it as unknown in the device manager
[05:08] <jlf> caturOK what's your nocat question
[05:08] <cyphase> is there any work going into a central control center for gnome?
[05:08] <vader1102> isn't chillispot and spot of chilli on your shirt?

[05:09] <mooseman447> cyphase a central control center for what?
[05:09] <weakwire> bimberi, iinstalled emifreq-applet. how do i use it?
[05:09] <cyphase> i don't mean gnome-control-center
[05:09] <MiKuS> does anyone know how to activate sound card drivers?
[05:09] <cyphase> that's just a list of programs
[05:09] <MiKuS> the ones you install from nvidia
[05:09] <cyphase> but nevermind
[05:09] <bimberi> weakwire: see if it's in the list of addable applets
[05:09] <jlf> Hello, how can I tell apt-get that I want it to use testing/unstable packages?
[05:09] <n00dles> after i put it safemode wat should i do?
[05:09] <caturOK> how to build nocat into ubuntu linux
[05:09] <bimberi> jlf: hi, if you mean installing packages from debian on ubuntu it's best not to - can lead to breakage
[05:09] <polpak> jlf: you don't
[05:09] <Draconicus> polpak: I need additional control plugins.
[05:09] <mooseman447> do you guys know how i can have a monitor log viewer like breezy?
[05:09] <vader1102> jlf, have you gone into synaptic and looked at the repos?
[05:09] <weakwire> how, how do i put new applet to the add to panel panel ?
[05:10] <caturOK> jlf caturOK what's your nocat question canu tell me step by step

[05:10] <varsendaggr> is there a way to make a window completly full screen?
[05:10] <MiKuS> jlf, look in your sources.list
[05:10] <soop> question, anyone know how I can actually get my card  to use the vesa driver?
[05:10] <ardchoille> weakwire: you have to install new applets, then they show up in that window
[05:10] <XVampireX> Hi

[05:11] <MiKuS> ok, try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigre xserver-xorg'
[05:11] <vader1102> ok, then type in startx and tell me if that works
[05:11] <mooseman447> is there a shell command to monitor auth.log?
[05:11] <MiKuS> go through and choose the vesa driver if you havent allready
[05:11] <joebu23> polpak, I tried to modprobe bttv, but now it says that host bridge needs ETBF enabled when I do a dmesg, and google no help
[05:11] <polpak> mooseman447: tail -f /var/log/auth.log
[05:11] <mooseman447> polpak thanks thats what i wanted
[05:11] <polpak> joebu23: what tuner card is it?
[05:12] <caturOK> ok i want try first
[05:12] <n00dles> vader1102, the prob is that i am runin xp and ubuntu on the laptop which i am usin right now
[05:12] <ardchoille> mooseman447: you can use tail, man tail
[05:12] <joebu23> polpak: it is an ATI TV Wonder Elite
[05:12] <caturOK> if i have any problem with nocat, can u help me mr jlf
[05:12] <vader1102> ah okay n00dles can someone tell n00dles how to reconfigure x from the recovery mode?
[05:12] <polpak> joebu23: oh.. never used that one
[05:12] <jlf> if i am around.. it is straightwforward to compile IIRC
[05:13] <joebu23> polpak: any help would be great, I keep on banging my head against the wall on this one
[05:13] <polpak> n00dles: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:13] <MiKuS> would anyone happen to know how to activate sound card drivers?
[05:13] <MiKuS> i just installed the official ones for my onboard soundcard and i don't know how to activate them
[05:13] <polpak> MiKuS: what's lspci  say your sound chipset is ?
[05:14] <vader1102> n00dles, I knew how at one point but I allways mix it up
[05:14] <cyphase> can't we bend the "No ports open out of the box" rule to include avahi-daemon by default
[05:14] <mooseman447> ok here is an interesting one
[05:14] <MiKuS> erm...alot just printed out
[05:14] <n00dles> ok
[05:14] <n00dles> is that sudo thing right?
[05:14] <mooseman447> when i host their site its just a folder inside mine and when they ftp in i noticed in ff they can just click go up a level and see all my files i have for my site
[05:15] <MiKuS> polpak, where in the printout does it say my soundcard?
[05:15] <MiKuS> i got about 50 lines printed out
[05:15] <vader1102> n00dles, it is sudo dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg or something
[05:15] <mooseman447> and they can keep going up and see lots of files i would like to remain not seen
[05:15] <n00dles> thats wat polpal said
[05:15] <n00dles> i guess i'ill give it a try
[05:15] <cyphase> at least in the DVD
[05:15] <ardchoille> mooseman447: that's not a good thing. IMHO, it would be better for you to make them a folder in /home and chmod your o-r
[05:15] <n00dles> bbl
[05:16] <ardchoille> mooseman447: that's what I did and the other users can't read my files.
[05:17] <MiKuS> whoops
[05:17] <mooseman447> ardchoille chmod your o-r?
[05:17] <MiKuS> ctrl alt shift backspace got pressed by accident :|
[05:17] <ardchoille> mooseman447: chmod your home folder (/home/your_user_name) o-r.. means that the world can't read it
[05:17] <mooseman447> ardchoille i would make them a folder in /home except i dont yet know how to get apache to work with it
[05:17] <MiKuS> polpak, i'll get the type again, hold up
[05:17] <ardchoille> mooseman447: oh, ok
[05:17] <MiKuS> Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller
[05:18] <cyphase> MiKuS: you can disable that
[05:18] <MiKuS> yeah, i don't want too though
[05:18] <cyphase> maybe that should be disabled by default..
[05:18] <mooseman447> ardchoille i use proftp is there a way i can lock them into that home directory so they wouldnt be able to get out and see web files especially unreleashed ones
[05:18] <MiKuS> polpak, are you still around?
[05:18] <skeen> Hi guys. I just installed Ubuntu on my harddrive...I also have an installation of Mandriva on there. Well, installation completed, etc. but now I am receiving the GRUB Error 17.
[05:19] <soop> shit ....
[05:19] <XVampireX> Hi
[05:19] <ardchoille> mooseman447: I don't know anything about proftp
[05:19] <soop> anyone been able to get X to work with an ati x1300?
[05:19] <XVampireX> Can anyone please help me install Extigy sound blaster?
[05:19] <soop> right now i dont care if I need to use the vesa driver, but it's failing regardless
[05:19] <Jack_Sparrow> skeen: I might suggest the super Grub Recovery ISO
[05:19] <ruoho> hi, can anyone recommend a decent torrent client which: is not azureus or ktorrent, can handle multiple torrents & preferably is not written in python
[05:20] <joebu23> has anyone ever successfully used a tv wonder elite card with ubuntu?
[05:20] <skeen> Do I need that? I just installed Ubuntu. I haven't even been able to get into it yet, due to this error.
[05:20] <skeen> I am currently booted up using Live CD.
[05:20] <zcat[1] > if I want to have a local mirror on my lane (to update lots of boxes without doing heaps of network traffic) what's the easiest way? can I rsync one of the mirrors and set it up under apache?
[05:20] <zcat[1] > *lan
[05:20] <joebu23> has anyone ever successfully used a tv wonder elite card with ubuntu? (or know where to go for help)
[05:21] <zcat[1] > and also how big is it?
[05:21] <polpak> MiKuS: yes
[05:21] <MiKuS> ok
[05:21] <polpak> MiKuS: sorry was talking to someone
[05:21] <MiKuS> Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller
[05:21] <cntb> Jack_Sparrow: hi have a link to such Grub Recovery ISO ?
[05:22] <polpak> MiKuS: that should work fine then
[05:22] <MiKuS> theres the card, it plays, but it doesent do more then 2 channels.
[05:22] <mooseman447> what does chroot do?
[05:22] <MiKuS> which sucks cause i have a 8.1 set up
[05:22] <MiKuS> and it only uses left and right, with no bass :(
[05:22] <polpak> MiKuS: what do you mean it doesn't do more than 2 channels
[05:22] <polpak> MiKuS: oh
[05:22] <cntb> mooseman447: chroot point s to different root for maintenance purposes
[05:22] <polpak> MiKuS: go to terminal and type alsamixer
[05:22] <polpak> MiKuS: and adjust the 3d and amp etc settings
[05:23] <mooseman447> cntb ok so that would help me local ftp users to their home dir with proftpd?
[05:23] <ardchoille> mooseman447: I had forgotten about chroot. it locks a user so that they can't go above a certain directory. That sounds like it's worth looking into for you
[05:23] <MiKuS> this is the same thing as when i double click the speaker icon in the systray?
[05:23] <polpak> MiKuS: some of the outputs are probably just muted
[05:23] <mooseman447> ardchoille what about what cntb said about it?
[05:23] <MiKuS> pc speaker is the only thing muted right now
[05:24] <polpak> MiKuS: sorta, but it shows more options. you can turn those options on in the "speaker icon" but it's easier for me to point you at alsamixer
[05:24] <vader1102> joebu23, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=454217
[05:24] <ardchoille> mooseman447: same thing.. chroot makes their "root" their home directory
[05:24] <MiKuS> master mono = off
[05:24] <ardchoille> mooseman447: so they can't go above it
[05:24] <MiKuS> ahhh
[05:24] <MiKuS> surround :D
[05:24] <MiKuS> lets see if that helps.
[05:24] <mooseman447> ahhh sounds useful
[05:24] <joebu23> vader1102: thanx, I'll check it out
[05:24] <fdsd> hey guys, how do I have the output of a command go to /dev/null?
[05:24] <vader1102> joebu23, yw
[05:25] <vader1102> google is my friend
[05:25] <mooseman447> ardchoille whoudl i just do chroot <username> ?
[05:25] <MiKuS> nup
[05:25] <MiKuS> didn't help :(
[05:25] <ardchoille> mooseman447: you'll need to read about it once you have it
[05:25] <mooseman447> ardchoille what do you mean "have it"
[05:25] <vader1102> MiKuS, try a reboot?
[05:25] <ardchoille> mooseman447: and since it's performing such a vital job, read the entire manual :)
[05:25] <MiKuS> for the sound stuff?
[05:25] <MiKuS> ok, i'll try that
[05:26] <vader1102> I have had too
[05:26] <zcat[1] > if I want to have a local mirror on my lan (to update lots of boxes without doing heaps of network traffic) what's the easiest way? can I ftp/rsync/httrack one of the mirrors and set it up under apache? How about for several repos?
[05:26] <mooseman447> ardchoille where can i find the manual ill read it
[05:26] <mooseman447> nvm man chroot
[05:26] <ardchoille> mooseman447: man chroot
[05:26] <Random_guy> hey
[05:26] <mooseman447> hey random_guy
[05:26] <Random_guy> seems as though a good number of people are using linux phones now, is there are benifiet to them or just a hoby

[05:28] <mooseman447> ardchoille is the manual supposed to be more then 44 lines?
[05:28] <polpak> Random_guy: advantages as compared to what?
[05:28] <Toma-> linux and qt are going to be on heaps of phones very soon
[05:28] <OHPhoneGuy> how do I add a .dfont file to my font list?
[05:28] <Random_guy> just normal palmos or windows mobile
[05:28] <nomasteryoda> biggest advantage is freedom
[05:28] <Killeroid> Random_guy: you dont see the benefit of linux?
[05:28] <ardchoille> mooseman447: no, 44 is all there is
[05:28] <Toma-> Random_guy: the IDE for qt is well know to be very good looking and very stable
[05:28] <nomasteryoda> can do what most people need to do with linux
[05:28] <zcat[1] > of linux on a phone over wince or symbian?
[05:28] <Random_guy> ya i use linux but about phones, like can a phone really go faster
[05:29] <mooseman447> wwell that wasnt helpful.....
[05:29] <n00dles> back
[05:29] <czer323> random_guy: it's free.
[05:29] <polpak> Random_guy: the advantage to linux is not it's speed.
[05:29] <n00dles> now i got to where to a screen where its gray and i can move the mouse. after that nothing happens
[05:29] <Random_guy> well that and open source are my reasons for using it

[05:30] <ardchoille> mooseman447: good idea
[05:30] <zcat[1] > It's open; you can potentially change any of the more annoying features in your phone which you probably couldn't ever do with a non-open OS
[05:30] <n00dles> and it seems to be workin for him
[05:30] <Cornellius> Where's the default Mozilla Firefox installation place ? I need Flash 8 for something and I don't know where's Firefox/Mozilla are installed
[05:30] <polpak> Random_guy: do you actually edit the source for your programs?
[05:30] <Random_guy> almost never
[05:30] <Random_guy> but a few times i needed to change a thing or two but simple
[05:31] <czer323> polpak: more like, how many average computer users program the source?
[05:31] <polpak> Random_guy: then it's more likely that the reason you use it is because it's free (as in beer) not free as in freedom
[05:31] <Gareth> Cornellius, try a slocate firefox
[05:31] <Toma-> #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[05:31] <cntb> Cornellius: try /usr/bin
[05:31] <polpak> Random_guy: which isn't a bad reason certainly
[05:31] <Random_guy> well actually i started because i wanted to learn stuff.....
[05:31] <mooseman447> ardchoille i dont understand how to chroot a user
[05:31] <sys8976> I made the switch today
[05:31] <joebu23> vader: tried, but after further review, that link is for a display card, not a tuner card
[05:31] <nomasteryoda> sys8976, good for you
[05:31] <polpak> mooseman447: you have to instruct your ftp server to do it
[05:32] <zcat[1] > that was years ago.. -a is standard now and fbsd has -A too
[05:32] <n00dles> back
[05:32] <Gareth> I don't care about this open source crap, I use linux because I like penguins
[05:32] <polpak> mooseman447: generally this is done in a config file
[05:32] <n00dles> now i got to where to a screen where its gray and i can move the mouse. after that nothing happens
[05:32] <cntb> sys8976:  welcome
[05:32] <n00dles> my friend tried helpin me w. installin this but same thing happend in the afternon
[05:32] <n00dles> and it seems to be workin for him
[05:32] <sys8976> nomasteryoda: thanks lol
[05:32] <mooseman447> polpak do you know how to with proftpd?
[05:32] <nomasteryoda> really good
[05:32] <sys8976> cntb: thanks I will never go back to windows now
[05:32] <polpak> mooseman447: not offhand, but you you check the man page it should say
[05:32] <Random_guy> gareth penguins are nice
[05:32] <polpak> mooseman447: or they have good documentation on their website
[05:32] <mooseman447> polpak thanks for the help ill look
[05:32] <zcat[1] > httracking the repos now... hope this works and I don't just clock up 18GB of worthless traffic here!!
[05:33] <MiKuS> polpak it didn't work :*
[05:33] <MiKuS> :(**
[05:33] <sys8976> zcat[1] : hehe
[05:33] <weasel__> How reliable is Easy Ubuntu at installing proprietary video drivers?
[05:33] <mythtv_> hi all, i just compiled kernel 2.6.17.3, rebooted and everything is fine except i'm unable to mount /dev/hdb1 XFS.  error: device already in use or /backup is busy. no error in log files.  any ideas? thank you
[05:33] <zcat[1] > nobody answered my question :(
[05:33] <vbgunz> hello akiiki
[05:33] <joebu23> has anyone ever successfully used a tv wonder elite card with ubuntu? (or know where to go for help)
[05:33] <zcat[1] > you'd think someone here (seveas?) would know a little about preos!!
[05:33] <zcat[1] > *repos
[05:33] <sys8976> I know i have a 6600 gt and had no issues with the drivers that come bundled
[05:34] <knockknock718> whats up vbgunz
[05:34] <weasel__> joebu23: I know nothing about the proposition, but I would say go to MythTV forums/IRC. You should find much more knowledgeable answers there.
[05:34] <ardchoille> !repos
[05:34] <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
[05:34] <MiKuS> the drivers automatix installed for me worked fine (7900gtx)
[05:34] <Random_guy> ubuntu repos are ok but in other distros it is usually a little better
[05:34] <cntb> !repos
[05:34] <mythtv_> any ideas?  thank you.
[05:34] <zcat[1] > if I want to have a local mirror on my lan (to update lots of boxes without doing heaps of network traffic) what's the easiest way? can I ftp/rsync/httrack one of the mirrors and set it up under apache? How about for several repos?
[05:34] <joebu23> weasel, thanks
[05:34] <varsendaggr> is there a way to  make applications go full screen?
[05:35] <sys8976> zcat[1] : by logic that should work
[05:35] <sys8976> varsendaggr: depends I guess on the app which app?
[05:35] <Random_guy> i am going to look around for more about this stuff, it is interesting
[05:35] <Random_guy> c ya all later
[05:35] <polpak> joebu23: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-198703.html is all I found from googling
[05:35] <varsendaggr> firefox
[05:35] <ardchoille> varsendaggr: F11 ?
[05:36] <sys8976> yea F11
[05:36] <joebu23> polpak, will look, thank
[05:36] <varsendaggr> -  i have compiz  f11 does something different now  i bet i could select it
[05:36] <jerry> can some1 tell me how to burn a iso image
[05:36] <n00dles> back
[05:36] <zcat[1] > sys8976: you'd think so ... probably little more complex though when I try to mirror three or four repos on the one IP address, I want a local copy of compiz and stuff to I can install and update new installs with all the nonfree stuff.
[05:36] <n00dles> now i got to where to a screen where its gray and i can move the mouse. after that nothing happens
[05:36] <n00dles> my friend tried helpin me w. installin this but same thing happend in the afternon
[05:36] <jerry> itry 100 times
[05:36] <n00dles> and it seems to be workin for him
[05:36] <XVampireX> Hello
[05:36] <XVampireX> Please help me
[05:37] <dr_willis> !ask
[05:37] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:37] <zcat[1] > btw; any idea why compiz-gnome got uninstalled with my last update??
[05:37] <czer323> ubotu is so cool ;)
[05:37] <zcat[1] > lots all my window decorations :(
[05:37] <XVampireX> I got 2 sound cards now, but for some reason the system doesn't let me use Extigy sound card (External sound blaster)
[05:37] <ardchoille> czer323: :)
[05:37] <varsendaggr> zcat[1] , that is crazy
[05:37] <n00dles> is it supposed to be hard to install ubuntu?
[05:37] <sys8976> zcat[1] : yea I mean the best thing to do is set one up as server and have it all | (pipe) through there and then you can access it with the clients..at least logically it sounds good
[05:37] <MiKuS> *sigh*
[05:38] <jerry> can some1 tell me how to burn a iso image
[05:38] <zcat[1] > happens quite often.. I just reinstall and it all comes right again
[05:38] <varsendaggr> you could join #ubutnu-xgl  and they could help
[05:38] <MiKuS> so no one knows how to activate the nvidia drivers i installed?
[05:38] <nomasteryoda> n00dles, no
[05:38] <ardchoille> noob-saibot: no, I know a 7 years old who installed it all by herslef.
[05:38] <dr_willis> jerry,  under windows? or Linux/ubuntu?
[05:38] <whyami> jerry: the easy way would be to use k3b
[05:38] <XVampireX> Can anyone please help me with my problem?
[05:38] <n00dles> how come i been tryin to get it work and its not?
[05:38] <nomasteryoda> n00dles, sometimes certain hardware can cause issues...
[05:38] <jerry> under windows
[05:38] <n00dles> ook
[05:38] <ardchoille> ACK!
[05:38] <czer323> MiKuS> I just used EasyUbuntu to install/activate my nvidia card.
[05:38] <dr_willis> jerry,  use 'burn at once'  (its free)
[05:39] <czer323> !nvidia
[05:39] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:39] <dr_willis> jerry,  but i dont think it can burn DVD-iso images yet.
[05:39] <n00dles> i am tryin to get it work on my laptop which is compaq V2405us
[05:39] <n00dles> anywhere i can check to c if it will work on it?
[05:39] <zcat[1] > sys8976: yeah, planning to set up 10.192.1.2/security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ and so on, that wai I can just search and replace http:// with http://10.192.1.2/
[05:39] <jerry> i i think is a cd
[05:39] <jerry> iso
[05:39] <Aluvia> I have a problem: I'm unable to view a file (or rather, I get caught in an eternal loop that seems to require xkill to end) using Dapper on a dvd I burned under WinXP.  The file contains about 1000 folders, each containing at least one file.  I was able to transfer the file to my HD, but I got caught in another seemingly eternal loop on folder 500-something (it was an mp3).  Can anyone help?
[05:39] <ardchoille> jerry: maybe #windows?
[05:39] <jerry> xp
[05:40] <zcat[1] > and then change it back afterwards so it goes to the real repos in future
[05:40] <sys8976> zcat[1] : yep
[05:40] <Aluvia> thnx
[05:40] <dr_willis> jerry,  .iso  can be either. :P  if its under 700mb its a cdrom
[05:40] <sys8976> Aluvia: you sure that it was a mp3 and not mpeg?
[05:40] <jerry> yes is 697
[05:40] <mooseman447> ardchoille ok i understand i need to use DefaultRoot ~ but where do i put that do i do chroot DefaultRoot ~ as a line in the proftpd conf?
[05:41] <zcat[1] > might work; might break horribly. I was kinda hoping I could find out for sure and perhaps a cleaner way (rsync rather than httrack) to fetch it and keep it up to date..
[05:41] <jerry> im trying to burn that live cd
[05:41] <ardchoille> mooseman447: I don't know anything about proftp, there is no way I can help you with it
[05:41] <jerry> ubuntu6.06??
[05:41] <mooseman447> ok does anybody know about proftpd and chrooting users?
[05:41] <sys8976> zcat[1] : you could always try the vmware for linux for 30 days to test it before you live it
[05:42] <sys8976> mooseman447: sorry I do not
[05:42] <ardchoille> sys8976: isn't vmware free now?
[05:42] <Gareth> ardchoille, the player is free
[05:42] <sys8976> ardchoille: nope for linux it is like 189 or something us $
[05:42] <ardchoille> Gareth: ahh, ok. What's the difference?
[05:42] <zcat[1] > sys8976: well, I can dump the mirror on my server safely enough and I have plenty of clean drives to install and test with
[05:42] <dr_willis> jerry,  use 'burn at once' then. its a decent free gpl tool for windows
[05:42] <ardchoille> sys8976: ACK!
[05:43] <XVampireX> CAN ANYONE HELP ME?
[05:43] <zcat[1] > just didn't want to download so much traffic just to test a theory...
[05:43] <sys8976> zcat[1] : yea then you should be good to test :)
[05:43] <XVampireX> I got 2 sound cards now, but for some reason the system doesn't let me use Extigy sound card (External sound blaster)
[05:43] <Gareth> ardchoille, in the player you cannot create virtual machines - only run them
[05:43] <dr_willis> XVampireX,  you have a external usb sound card?
[05:43] <XVampireX> yes
[05:43] <ardchoille> Gareth: oh, ok
[05:43] <Gareth> in workstation you can create them once the license has expired, but you can't play them
[05:44] <Patrick_> aluvias probelm has absolutly nothing to do with windows.
[05:44] <jerry> i downloaded a program from ubuntu site and its creating a cd but it does not boot
[05:44] <Gareth> so technically, you can create them in workstation and play them in player and be fine
[05:44] <dr_willis> XVampireX,  good luck. :P id say check the ubuntu wiki/forums first, then perhaps google for that exact device and how to get it going under linux
[05:44] <sys8976> brb
[05:44] <n00dles> when i run the live cd for ubuntu, it frezzes when i run the install file
[05:44] <oneeyedelf1> how do I installl gphoto in ubuntu?
[05:44] <ardchoille> Gareth: so create them in one and play them in the other?
[05:44] <zcat[1] > oh crap.. it's mirroring all of breezy too...
[05:44] <jerry> i usen nero and same thing
[05:44] <jerry> cd does not boot
[05:44] <XVampireX> dr_willis, I've seen that the device works
[05:44] <n00dles> anyone?
[05:44] <n00dles> when i run the live cd for ubuntu, it frezzes when i run the install file
[05:45] <dr_willis> jerry,  nero has a 'burn iso image' feature..   be sure to do that . not just copying the image as a file to the cd.
[05:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Jerry are you trying to burn IOS in Windows?
[05:45] <Jack_Sparrow> ISO
[05:45] <XVampireX> I don't know if it's related, but before I installed this device, I also used this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=44753
[05:45] <ardchoille> jerry: did you test the ISO? Could it be that it is corrupted?
[05:45] <dr_willis> jerry,  check what files are on your burnt cd. if ya have whatever.iso as the only file -= you did it wrong.
[05:45] <oneeyedelf1> I use cdburnerxp to burn cd's in windows
[05:45] <oneeyedelf1> its free
[05:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Jerry Good Free Tool... http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
[05:45] <XVampireX> And in the sound I have the option to choose extigy but it doesn't save it when I close
[05:45] <Gareth> ardchoille, exactly
[05:46] <n00dles> when i run the live cd for ubuntu, it frezzes when i run the install file
[05:46] <ardchoille> I love Ubuntu :)
[05:46] <jerry> ihave same files sa on the iso
[05:46] <n00dles> after i run the live cd for ubuntu, it frezzes when i run the install file
[05:46] <jerry> i think 19
[05:46] <Balthazarr> I jumped into linux today, Can someone point me to a tutorial on DL and Install codecs for totem?

[05:47] <jerry> what i did i burned thecd as data
[05:47] <sys8976> back
[05:48] <Aluvia> has anyone else encountered problems reading music files stored as data from dvds?
[05:48] <jerry> if i try to burn as iso it does not load up
[05:48] <sys8976> Aluvia: no
[05:48] <sys8976> jerry: what app are you using to burn
[05:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Jerry do you mean it does not boot
[05:48] <dr_willis> jerry,  i was thinking under windows - if ya pop the cd in the drive - it autoruns a little info/tool to tell you some stuff about linux and openoffice.
[05:48] <axs221> Balthazarr: you might also try EasyUbuntu or Automatix to install what you need
[05:49] <jerry> yes it does not boot up
[05:49] <Jack_Sparrow> !automatix
[05:49] <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.
[05:49] <Balthazarr> ty I'll give it a look
[05:49] <niki> i thought automatix was unsafe?
[05:49] <jerry> dr yes
[05:49] <dr_willis> niki,  its VERY unsafe i hear.
[05:49] <nomasteryoda> niki, it is
[05:49] <jerry> it autoruns
[05:49] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[05:49] <niki> then why are people suggesting it?
[05:49] <spikeb> i would use easyubuntu if you want an app.
[05:49] <jerry> under windows
[05:49] <mooseman447> dang i think i messed up now the proftpd server doesnt work at all
[05:49] <sys8976> jerry: then leave it in drive and restart pc
[05:49] <dr_willis> i like how that factoid says #automatix. (with a .) so it gives the wrong channel. :)
[05:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Jerry that is different than booting
[05:50] <MiKuS> anyone know where the modules.conf file is in ubuntu?
[05:50] <ardchoille> I would learn how to do that stuff myself rather than use a script.
[05:50] <MehAdult> hi
[05:50] <dr_willis> MikeJS,  /etc/ I belive  use the 'locate' command to find it
[05:50] <FunnyLookinHat> MiKuS, sudo updatedb    ----   locate modules.conf
[05:51] <jerry> i restart and i get the screen asking to boot windows or mepis
[05:51] <moomoo23> anyone know of a mp3toogg convertor
[05:51] <mooseman447> ardchoille what ftp server would you recommend?
[05:51] <jerry> is simplemepis the problem
[05:51] <sys8976> jerry: then you machine isnt set to boot from cd, you need to go into the bios and set it to boot from rom first
[05:52] <ardchoille> mooseman447: I don't use ftp
[05:52] <mooseman447> really?
[05:52] <ardchoille> really
[05:52] <jerry> i have a simle mepis cd witch works
[05:52] <hyphenated> MiKuS: it was renamed to modprobe.conf for 2.6 kernels, and you can just add files to /etc/modprobe.d/ to get the same effect anyway
[05:52] <mooseman447> ok
[05:52] <dr_willis> ssh is  much better then ftp  for many needs these days. :)
[05:52] <MiKuS> i'm trying to activate the nvidia sound card drivers i just installed
[05:52] <jerry> i think my problem is in the burning the live cd
[05:52] <MiKuS> but i have nfi what i'm doing :-\
[05:52] <sys8976> dr_willis: you are correct there :)
[05:53] <sys8976> jerry: what app are you using to burn the image?
[05:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Jerry, Please try that free ISO tool I linked, Nothing to know just double click an ISO and go
[05:53] <jerry> what is app
[05:53] <sys8976> Jack_Sparrow: can you relink that i would like to see it
[05:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Jerry Good Free Tool... http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
[05:53] <sys8976> jerry: application (program)
[05:53] <ardchoille> dr_willis: mooseman447 originally wanted to set up a shell for his users, perhaps you know of a tutorial or something that would teach him to setup ssh with chroot ?
[05:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Slickest tool for ISO's I ever found
[05:54] <caturOK> what is mean "grab"
[05:54] <jerry> nero 6
[05:54] <dr_willis> ardchoille,  you want to chroot jail the user when he ssh ins to lock him into his home dir?
[05:54] <ardchoille> caturOK: grab can mean "to get", or "to take"
[05:54] <hyphenated> MiKuS: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia (create a new file), then where your instructions say to add lines to modules.conf, put those lines in the file you're editing instead
[05:54] <ardchoille> dr_willis: not me. mooseman447 wants that
[05:54] <MiKuS> ok, i'll try that
[05:54] <mooseman447> ardchoille i dont want to force them to use ssh because i know one friend that can barely upload to ftp without being confused
[05:55] <dr_willis> winscp and ssh - is easier to use then ftp :)
[05:55] <riddler> if I have a spare drive which I setup in the install, how can I allow my users access to it?
[05:55] <mooseman447> dr_willis lol trust me not for him do you know how to chroot with proftpd?
[05:56] <dr_willis> riddle mount it somewhere.. make a dir for them. and chown/chmod the dir so they own it.
[05:56] <aunes_> heh. giving up on wow. I'm going to delte my description
[05:56] <sys8976> aunes_ lol I am going to get it to work here
[05:56] <MiKuS> brb
[05:56] <aunes_> sys: I got it to load
[05:57] <aunes_> I can attack and chat and everything
[05:57] <sys8976> real I havent tried yet
[05:57] <sys8976> nice
[05:57] <aunes_> but there are huge shadows under everything and I can't check my mail
[05:57] <sys8976> what did you use wine?
[05:57] <aunes_> ya
[05:57] <aunes_> pain in the ass. took me like 8hrs
[05:57] <sys8976> hrmm hehe
[05:57] <dr_willis> aunes_,  i sold my WOW account. :P
[05:57] <sys8976> I was thinking of using vmware and loading windows and running there lol
[05:57] <mooseman447> dr_willis do you know a good ftpd server that can chroot a user because for somereason proftpd stopped working now
[05:57] <ardchoille> jeebus, I woldn't have put 8 minutes into wine
[05:58] <sys8976> I mean if the addicition is still there
[05:58] <aunes_> dr_willis: How much and where did you sell it?
[05:58] <dr_willis> mooseman447,  i wouldent worry about chrooting them. I doubt if you are gaining much from it.
[05:58] <dr_willis> aunes_,  my brother did it. I think he got about $150 for it.
[05:58] <sys8976> that or bochs
[05:58] <fdsd> Hey guys, I want to modify the usplash boot screen with just a progress bar, is that possible or easy?
[05:58] <mooseman447> dr_willis they can just hit go up a level in firefox and see files i would not like to be seen
[05:59] <aunes_> dr_willis: I have 3 horde chars 40+ so I might be able to get something out of it.
[05:59] <ardchoille> fdsd: I remember seeing a few pages on the wiki about usplash
[05:59] <dr_willis> mooseman447,   hide the porn somewhere else then.
[05:59] <sys8976> haha
[05:59] <czer323> loool
[05:59] <ardchoille> dr_willis: hahaha
[05:59] <igcek> :)
[05:59] <dr_willis> fdsd,  like in some other users home dir
[05:59] <mooseman447> dr_willis i keep the porn on this 1tb server not the http server
[06:00] <fdsd> dr_willis, url?
[06:00] <fdsd> ardchoille, i saw the wiki article on how to modify the color of the backdrop
[06:00] <dr_willis> every time i hear someone asking about chrooting users.. they never can find a good simple way of doing it. :P
[06:00] <mooseman447> dr_willis never "find" does that mean there is a simple way?
[06:01] <sys8976> http://www.freeos.com/articles/4440/
[06:01] <ardchoille> fdsd: I just checked and those pages are no longer there :(
[06:01] <dr_willis> mooseman447,  i never wanted to do so.. and they never good a good 'quick' answer from anyone in the channel.. sio it all depends.
[06:01] <dr_willis> mooseman447,  everything has trade-off's
[06:01] <fdsd> ardchoille, doh, it would be cool to make the splash screen more macosx like with a spinning gear
[06:01] <mooseman447> dr_willis lol great ihave my work out for me
[06:01] <sys8976> that freeos link has it all broke down on chmod
[06:02] <ardchoille> fdsd: yeah, I had a couple good ideas too :)
[06:02] <OHPhoneGuy> Where are the fonts stored?
[06:02] <sys8976> fdsd what was your question again sorry
[06:02] <dr_willis> mooseman447,  give eachuser their own  home dir.. and be sure the other home dirs a re chmod'ed where they cant get into them
[06:02] <fdsd> ardchoille, im trying to install ubuntu on my parents pc, but it needs to look polished and it needs to look non scary, and the ubuntu splash screen would scare my parents
[06:02] <fdsd> sys8976, I want to change the usplash window when I boot up
[06:02] <mooseman447> dr_willis do i have to go through every folder like /var and /etc too?
[06:02] <ardchoille> fdsd: ROFL!
[06:02] <fdsd> sys8976, to just a progress bar
[06:03] <sys8976> fdsd: ok one sec'
[06:03] <dr_willis> mooseman447,  they cant affect stuff in there.. so its not a big issue
[06:03] <dr_willis> mooseman447,  theres being safe.. then theres being Paranoid.
[06:03] <WarOfAttrition> I agree with fdsd
[06:03] <mooseman447> dr_willis im not worried about affecting im worried about finding some big hole i dont know about and exploiting it
[06:03] <bimberi> !usplash
[06:03] <ubotu> usplash is the start-up splash (before GNOME/KDE appears) in Ubuntu. To customize it, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/USplashCustomizationHowto
[06:03] <fdsd> dr_willis, well if you see "cupds daemon loading" you automaticly think, HUh? if your an old person
[06:04] <mooseman447> dr_willis if there is a way to chroot jail with ftp im determined to find it lol
[06:04] <sys8976> fdsd: there ya go thanks ubotu
[06:04] <dr_willis> mooseman447,  if you are that worried about it - then go hard core and use that err.. access controll list stuff.. :P for the Truely paranoid.
[06:04] <fdsd> sys8976, thanks!
[06:04] <dr_willis> mooseman447,  for the trurely paranoid - FTP would NOT be allowed. :)
[06:04] <fdsd> sys8976, does that just change the color?
[06:04] <sys8976> thank ubotu they brought it to the table
[06:04] <mooseman447> dr_willis i never said i was paranoid
[06:04] <sys8976> checking now
[06:04] <dr_willis> mooseman447,  you are in Denial :P
[06:05] <ardchoille> dr_willis: lol!
[06:05] <mooseman447> never!!!!
[06:05] <ardchoille> "it's not just a river in Egypt"
[06:05] <mooseman447> its a big river?
[06:05] <dr_willis> make a list of what you want to allow the users to do... then  figure out what they never need to do. :P
[06:05] <dr_willis> then give up and go back to sleep.
[06:05] <ardchoille> hahahahahaha
[06:05] <Killeroid> lol
[06:06] <sys8976> fdsd: no you can follow that link and do a solid background and a color for the progress bar everything you need
[06:06] <mooseman447> dr_willis lol yea sleep would be good after this no sleepage lately......
[06:06] <fdsd> sys8976, can you make it so it just has a progress bar, no text?
[06:06] <dr_willis> I have seen this 'lock the users into their own home dir' questions dozens of times. and have never seen a 'use .... ' kind of reply.
[06:06] <mooseman447> dr_willis but what if they exploit me while i sleep!!!!
[06:06] <sys8976> fdsd: from reading that doc yes
[06:06] <dr_willis> if using ssh, you could set their shell to a restricted shell. that would lock them down Very very much.
[06:07] <dr_willis> if using just ftp. you could disable the shell. so no ssh for them
[06:07] <[Ex0r] > anyone here know why mythtv for ubuntu messes up?
[06:08] <sys8976> ex0r have you tried #mythtv channel yet?
[06:08] <[Ex0r] > yeah, they said they don't know why it does it. It's something with the ubuntu package
[06:08] <sys8976> Ex0r hrmm where is it dumping at?
[06:08] <[Ex0r] > starting mythtv-backend from init.d
[06:09] <[Ex0r] > gives me an 'authentication failed' error
[06:09] <[Ex0r] > Starting MythTV server: mythbackendSession management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
[06:09] <sys8976> Ex0r have you tried to add a sudo command in there so it auth as root and runs it?
[06:09] <fowlduck> do you think it is reasonably possible to run DNS for one domain, Apache (running a rails app and a mono app), and one email server on a P3 933 MHz with 512 MB RAM?
[06:10] <mooseman447> dr_willis think this is helpful? http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/contrib/ProFTPD-mini-HOWTO-Chroot.html
[06:10] <roostishaw> how do i tell tcpdump what device to use for capture?
[06:10] <[Ex0r] > yes that's what I ran it as, sys8976
[06:10] <dr_willis> mooseman447,  you tell me? :P lol.. you said you had that wirking then it broke dident you?
[06:10] <sys8976> fowlduck: it could happen but if you get a lot of mail polls it is going to dog the whole server
[06:10] <mooseman447> dr_willis yea proftpd worked then i borked it but now its working again but its not chrooted (yet)
[06:10] <fowlduck> sys8976, mail polls? (sorry, i'm a noob)
[06:11] <Gareth> fowlduck, it should be possible - you should definitely run without a window manager etc though
[06:11] <sys8976> fowlduck: a lot of email coming into server and people checking email
[06:11] <fowlduck> Gareth, yep
[06:11] <MiKuS> theres only one real thing that genuinely annoys me.
[06:11] <fowlduck> sys8976, it's just for me
[06:11] <TTT_Travis> I am trying to compile and this is the error I get after about an hour: http://pastebin.ca/77532
[06:11] <MiKuS> tinny bass

[06:11] <fowlduck> sys8976, in fact, I'm pretty much the only user
[06:11] <sys8976> fowlduck: yea def no gui
[06:11] <oneeyedelf1> help, I cant figure out how to install fspot on ubuntu
[06:11] <dr_willis> mooseman447,  if you chrooted ftp. they could still ssh in (perhaps) so be sure to lock that down also
[06:12] <WarOfAttrition> people pumping out heavy bass annoys me
[06:12] <mooseman447> dr_willis ssh is block at the network firewall level no need to worry about that
[06:12] <[_miT_] > hello, i just installed the latest ubuntu and love it
[06:12] <sys8976> oneeyedelf1: have you tried apt get yet?
[06:12] <[_miT_] > altho i cannot open a .avi i downloaded, because i dont have the decoder
[06:12] <dr_willis> mooseman447,  you dont sence the irony in blocking ssh but allowing FTP do ya? :P
[06:12] <Gareth> fowlduck, why do you need a domain if you are the only useR?
[06:12] <[_miT_] > is there apt-get for decoders?
[06:12] <oneeyedelf1> sys8976: it isnt in apt
[06:12] <oneeyedelf1> apt-cache search fspot returns nothing
[06:13] <sys8976> [_miT_] : good to here welcome aboard
[06:13] <mooseman447> dr_willis am i too tired to sense it?

[06:26] <bimberi> Meta-: the three digits of the umask specify the type of acceess that owner, group and others have to the share.  In this case 000 means all 3 have full access - see 'man mount' for more details :)
[06:27] <stpere> josh1871, use alsamixer and look for any muted channels

[06:30] <weasel__> How do I set a name for my ext3 partition?
[06:31] <lakcaj> weasel__: you create a mount point (directory) and add an entry for it in /etc/fstab
[06:31] <miguelsr> !limewire
[06:31] <ubotu> limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative.
[06:31] <varsendaggr> hey where can i get ardour?
[06:31] <baconbacon> weasel__: what is setting a name for a partition
[06:31] <neww_user> Killeroid: there's no such thing here!
[06:31] <Killeroid> neww_user: just go to administration> networking and configure your internet connection from there
[06:31] <josh1871> stpere, nothing.
[06:31] <[_miT_] > ok i installed the packages from "Getting things to work in a hurry" from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats

[06:32] <neww_user> Killeroid: but what do I have to do there?
[06:32] <ubotu> I know nothing about limewirepro
[06:32] <Killeroid> miguelsr: use frostwire
[06:32] <varsendaggr> ahh
[06:32] <baconbacon> !frostwire
[06:32] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[06:32] <weasel__> baconbacon: To be honest, I am not sure exactly. I think it must be something like a drivelabel.  My /dev/hda1 partition is mounted /media/hda1, but it shows up as Windows.
[06:32] <miguelsr> Killeroid: but frostwire downt have turbo!! or yes?
[06:32] <Killeroid> neww_user: it has
[06:33] <baconbacon> miguelsr: turbo huh, what could it possibly be
[06:33] <travisbickkle> lol
[06:33] <stpere> josh1871, ok.. that could mean two things .. there is some sort of key on the keyboard to unmute hardwar-ly your sound card
[06:33] <miguelsr> baconbacon limewire has turbo connection
[06:33] <[Ex0r] > anyone know how to get the ubuntu bittorrent program to stop doing the 99% bug ?

[06:35] <nofear> pretty good
[06:35] <mooseman447> thats good
[06:35] <Xnix> anyone know if there is a way to run a string (with spaces) through the url bar in firefox from the command line.
[06:35] <nofear>  just about to upgrade horay to 5.10
[06:35] <nofear> hehe
[06:35] <josh1871> stpere, I DID have working sound at one point after reinstallation, live CD just came up with it (OMG moment ;-) ) but went away inexplicably
[06:35] <mooseman447> nofear why not dapper?
[06:35] <nofear> finally found my cd for it...
[06:35] <Xnix> Say i have a search set up for imdb <search>  I want to be able to do "firefox imdb <movie>" from the command line, but it opens up two tabs :(

[06:36] <mooseman447> download and burn?
[06:36] <nofear> so can't download it before i get FAPPED lol
[06:36] <mooseman447> lol get a wifi adapter and borrow your neighbors wifi
[06:36] <nofear> i'm only limited to 170 megabytes every 4 hours :(
[06:36] <Gareth> er, how does one get fapped?
[06:36] <travisbickkle> xnix why dont you just add it the firefox search engines in the top right
[06:36] <nofear> if I exceed it i'll get cap down to 50 kilobits
[06:37] <Xnix> travisbickkle i have it, but i want to be able to do it when no firefox is open
[06:37] <hyphenated> WarOfAttrition: you can label ext2/ext3 filesystems. there's even an app called e2label to do it
[06:37] <nofear> ya... i'd need a  pretty powerful wifi adapter
[06:37] <Xnix> quickly, there must be a way
[06:37] <travisbickkle> ahh i see
[06:37] <nofear> one that will steal some one's connection up to 4 miles away :P
[06:37] <mooseman447> nofear put tinfoil on it like me
[06:37] <nofear> would it boost the range to 4 miles?
[06:37] <nofear> 4 tops that is  what i need
[06:38] <mooseman447> nofear hmmm that may push it
[06:38] <sky0> Xnix: not sure if it will work, but you can try: firefox "imdb movie"
[06:38] <weasel__> hyphenated: Would that label show up in Windows as well? (If you know)
[06:38] <Rug> Quick/Easy/Cool way to generate truely random & complexe passwords:  ps -A |md5sum    (I don't like pwdgen)
[06:38] <mooseman447> i would suggested a super long ethernet cable and run over to your neighbors ;)
[06:38] <nofear> by the end of this year the town  is going to have a free wifi internet but... from the grid map they released it looks like I'll miss it by a mile.
[06:38] <Xnix> sky0 right, i tried that...it appears that makes firefox try to open the file "imdb movie" in whatever directory you run it from
[06:38] <Xnix> :(
[06:38] <baconbacon> doesn't work
[06:38] <hyphenated> weasel__: windows doesn't support ext2 or ext3 filesystems out of the box.
[06:38] <mooseman447> nofear turn your satellite dish into a wifi adapter!!!!!
[06:38] <travisbickkle> anybody know how i can get the fuzzy text problem i'm havin on this monitor to go away
[06:38] <hyphenated> weasel__: I've got no idea what the ext3 drivers for windows will present it as.
[06:39] <nofear> lol wouldnt know how to do that..
[06:39] <mooseman447> nofear that thing can reach space so 4 miles is nothing for it
[06:39] <mooseman447> dont worry neither do it!
[06:39] <weasel__> hyphenated: Alright, thanks. Yeah, sorry I didn't explain, I use ext2fsd.
[06:39] <WarOfAttrition> windows uses ext3 as ext2
[06:39] <nofear> would be cool tho lol
[06:39] <WarOfAttrition> with the e2fs
[06:39] <nofear> I plan to do some research on wifi entennias and see if i can manage to get one to boost up to 2-3 miles
[06:40] <josh1871> stpere, no luck.  Thanks for your help.  Do you have suggestions where I could go to next?
[06:40] <mooseman447> nofear yea i think they did some wifi competition for longest distance and they used sattellite dishes
[06:40] <weasel__> WarOfAttrition: I use ext2fsd. It doesn't support writing support for ext3, but read is good.
[06:40] <nofear> even if i have to fork up 400+ $
[06:40] <nofear> it'd be worth it
[06:40] <nofear> because I will be able to get free internet
[06:40] <weasel__> nofear: good luck with the legal aspects of that
[06:40] <mooseman447> nofear or you could just go to shipit.ubuntu.com and get the disc that way
[06:40] <WarOfAttrition> e2fs supports write, but I think it's a bad idea to use it
[06:40] <stpere> josh1871, plug in headphones in your jack and see if this works
[06:40] <nofear> this town will have it established  by end of this year
[06:40] <travisbickkle> i tried adjusting the refresh rate in gui but it doesnt let me change it from 85 and i think thats the problem
[06:41] <weasel__> WarOfAttrition: ext2fsd too. it's like: you can force it to write, but don't, cause it's bad.
[06:41] <mooseman447> nofear anything is possible if you try
[06:41] <WarOfAttrition> weasel__: this other one does it by default
[06:41] <nofear> heck if i go up the road by a half mile with my laptop i'll get online when this takes place
[06:41] <weasel__> WarOfAttrition: Do you think either will show the name in Windows?
[06:41] <nofear> it'd be cool when they do this :)
[06:41] <sky0> Xnix: you can do this my using: firefox 'http://www.imdb.com/find?s=tt&q=movietitle'   ; you have to use '' in this case; and you may need to escape the title yourself ( ... q=sex%20in%the%city )
[06:41] <WarOfAttrition> weasel__: I have no idea, you can simply try it. My bet would be no though
[06:41] <nofear> i meen worst comes to worst ill tie my laptop to the inverter in my car and just pull over on the side of the road and download
[06:41] <nofear> llo
[06:41] <nofear> lol
[06:41] <mooseman447> heck yea it would my dream is free municipal wifi
[06:42] <mooseman447> lol yea good idea
[06:42] <nofear> ya thats what they are doing... I just cant wait to see if we'll get it where I am
[06:42] <nofear> It'd be freeking awesome
[06:42] <weasel__> is e2label dangerous?
[06:42] <weasel__> (I just corrupted my partition yesterday, so I guess I am being paranoid)
[06:43] <mooseman447> weasel i have no idea what e2label is :)
[06:43] <rixth_> Has anyone ever heard of files just going missing from a FAT32 filesystem?
[06:43] <hyphenated> weasel__: it shouldn't be any more dangerous that mounting the partition. it's just doing a tiny update to the superblock
[06:44] <weasel__> hyphenated: thanks :)
[06:44] <Toaster4k> if ubuntu freeze everytime i try to change something in system--> networking and i cant ping my gateway(router), any clue?
[06:44] <[Ex0r] > err, why do all the things that anybody wants are always screwed up ?
[06:44] <Xnix> sky0 right, that will work for one case, but i have many keyword searches and id just like it to work for anything...ie whatever i type goes into the firefox url bar as if i had typed it there....guess it cant currently be done
[06:44] <Toaster4k> even if it can ping its own IP
[06:44] <WarOfAttrition> rixth_: I have, I've seen it on a lot of file systems, even ext3
[06:44] <rixth_> I looked in Rhythmbox's 'Missing Files' thing, and saw one of my mp3s was missing (last seen 4 days ago) and it is indeed not there. I am the only one who uses and has access to this computer. Why/how did this happen? What logs should I check?
[06:44] <dakine> where can i get some help importing my firefox bookmarks
[06:44] <josh1871> stpere, excellent suggestion, it works! does this necesarily mean my builtin speakers are DOA?
[06:45] <WarOfAttrition> maybe the RIAA did it
[06:45] <travisbickkle> does anybody know if screen refresh rate is too high it would make my text fuzzy?
[06:45] <stpere> josh1871, no, you simply missed one channel in alsamixer
[06:45] <dakine> sony made a global rootkit
[06:45] <stpere> josh1871, on linux, there is one channel for headphones and one for speakers
[06:45] <rixth_> !tell Killeroid about away
[06:46] <baconbacon> Xnix: use the gnome Deskbar
[06:46] <baconbacon> maybe
[06:46] <baconbacon> if you add the imdb search to firefox
[06:46] <baconbacon> http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html?name=imdb
[06:46] <baconbacon> it'll show up in the deskbar
[06:46] <Xnix> baconbacon haha i am, thats why i want this
[06:46] <baconbacon> oops
[06:46] <Xnix> baconbacon i dont like clicking though
[06:46] <Xnix> baconbacon im trying to write it so i can just type in like script imdb blah
[06:47] <Xnix> or script amazon blah
[06:47] <Xnix> ebay blah etc etc
[06:47] <Xnix> since i have all those keyword searches set in firefox
[06:47] <baconbacon> "there is one channel for headphones and one for speakers" ?????
[06:47] <jorvis_> anyone use a 5th-gen iPod in ubuntu?  what software do you use?
[06:47] <caturOK> jlf
[06:47] <caturOK> hello
[06:47] <caturOK> is nocat support with shorewall
[06:48] <Xnix> baconbacon i guess i could figure out how that deskbar plugin manages it
[06:51] <travisbickkle> anybody know why i have no sound from watchin flash vidoes in firefox?
[06:51] <Cornellius> Who here use Enlightenment ?
[06:51] <mooseman447> enlightenment?
[06:52] <rsk> take a look at get-e.org
[06:52] <WarOfAttrition> I don't like enlightenment
[06:53] <baconbacon> travisbickkle: maybe some other app is using the sound device
[06:53] <hawkaloogie> travisbickkle, i'm having the same problem right now
[06:53] <hawkaloogie> baconbacon, no, even restarted esd
[06:53] <hawkaloogie> reinstalling flashplugin-nonfree
[06:53] <Zaire> k does anyone know how to setup dual monitor support in kubuntu cause I tried to from the GUI and I ended up having to restore the original xorg cause I could't boot back into the GUI
[06:54] <baconbacon> sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree
[06:54] <Cornellius> I'm having problems with Enlightenment. I installed E via Synaptic and everything went fine. However, once in E I've noticed that left-click with the mouse did nothings, but it's supposed to open the users menu if you left-click with the mouse. Anyone knows why ?
[06:54] <travisbickkle> so i need to reinstall it?
[06:54] <hawkaloogie> baconbacon, no workie :'(
[06:54] <baconbacon> aaaah i have no sound as well!
[06:54] <travisbickkle> i checked nuthin else is using it
[06:54] <travisbickkle> lol
[06:55] <hawkaloogie> doubleyou tee eff?
[06:55] <baconbacon> whats going on? i remember having sound
[06:55] <hawkaloogie> in Dapper? i believe I did before, but for some reason don't now
[06:55] <Glimmerati> how can I install java runtime environment...i have gone to jave website...then it has version for liunx and redhat...where both of those should support ububtu....but the situatiuon is ...none of them are supporting my env
[06:55] <jorvis_> noone uses an iPod in ubuntu here?
[06:55] <travisbickkle> i can play mp3s just got no sound in the videos
[06:55] <Zaire> I hate having only one usable monitor lol
[06:55] <wizardjames> ascii on ftp ..what type of files is this?
[06:55] <hemant> i always get this warning "Xlib locale not supported..." any idea, how do i get rid of this?
[06:56] <hawkaloogie> Glimmerati, install sun-java5-jre
[06:56] <[Ex0r] > em... what's the command to detach a screen ?
[06:56] <[Ex0r] > ctrl+d isn't it ?
[06:56] <baconbacon> !java
[06:56] <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
[06:56] <skavenge> jorvis_: i do
[06:56] <jorvis_> skavenge: what software do you use for syncing?
[06:57] <technel> I have a hard drive I want to mount every time Ubuntu boots up. HOw would I do this?
[06:57] <skavenge> jorvis_: gtkpod
[06:57] <hawkaloogie> jorvis_, gtkpod
[06:57] <Zaire> gah need dual monitor support how need going insane with only one lol
[06:58] <jorvis_> skavenge: I tried gtkpod last week for the first time and after syncing I lost everything on the iPod.  It appeared to have no songs at all when you used the iPod menus.  I could see them on the drive though.  I had to do a hard-reset
[06:58] <Lynoure> [Ex0r] : ctrl+a ctrol+d
[06:58] <Lynoure> [Ex0r] : s/ctrol/ctrl   (sorry, had 3h of sleep last night...)
[06:58] <jorvis_> skavenge: can rhythmbox only read from iPod?
[06:59] <[Ex0r] > when I use ctrl+d it says terminating window
[06:59] <[Ex0r] > I am trying to detach the window without terminating it
[06:59] <Glimmerati> where should i get sun java5 jre
[06:59] <hawkaloogie> Glimmerati, sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre
[06:59] <Zaire> its got a link on azures.sourceforge.net
[06:59] <jorvis_> Glimmerati: sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre
[06:59] <jorvis_> ah, too late
[06:59] <Zaire> or that I guess lol
[06:59] <skavenge> jorvis_: ive never used rhythmbox .. my ipod doesnt have menus either so i dont know what to say about the gtkpod deal really
[07:00] <Zaire> does anyone know about getting dual monitors though
[07:00] <Glimmerati> it says " Couldn't find package sun-java5-jre
[07:00] <Glimmerati> "
[07:01] <jorvis_> Glimmerati: you have to enable the multiverse
[07:01] <Glimmerati> how can I?
[07:01] <hawkaloogie> jorvis can help you there, i have no clue
[07:01] <KevinCLovesU> hey everyone
[07:01] <jorvis_> read: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[07:01] <Lynoure> [Ex0r] : see above. Or did you mean detach a single window from screen? In that case I don't know right away, see man screen for help
[07:01] <Zaire> http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp?cid=jdp84244
[07:02] <Zaire> thats the jre link
[07:02] <AJ004_> hi
[07:02] <jorvis_> Zaire: he can just do it through apt-get
[07:02] <Lynoure> But I should not be trying to help anyone right now... simply not enough sleep for it
[07:02] <Zaire> yea but he said it wasn't found
[07:02] <Glimmerati> can u tell me how can i enable multiverse
[07:03] <[Ex0r] > yeah im trying to detach the window without terminating it. (It's an application that doesn't self-terminate when it's running, it stays on screen)
[07:03] <jorvis_> Glimmerati: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories?action=show&redirect=AddingRepositoriesHowto
[07:03] <technel> So, uh, how do you mount a HD every time Ubuntu boots up?
[07:03] <[Ex0r] > technel, edit /etc/fstab
[07:03] <Jack_Sparrow> technel: diskmounter script
[07:03] <AJ004_> evolution 2.6.1 keeps crashing on me
[07:03] <AJ004_> grrr
[07:03] <Jack_Sparrow> technel:  set up all hd's in system
[07:03] <AJ004_> hopefully 2.6.2 fixes it
[07:04] <swim> does anyone have e17 installed on dapper? I keep getting this error: http://paste.lisp.org/display/21983
[07:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Glimmerati: still need to enable those?
[07:05] <Lynoure> [Ex0r] : actually, all the keybindings are in man screen. You have access to it?
[07:05] <Glimmerati> yeah...the procedure became too long...first have to go there, read, then might be install that, then installing sun java...and probably i shall be able to install lime. wire....
[07:05] <Zaire> geez what does it take to get help with dual monitor support and still be able to boot into the GUI
[07:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Glimmerati:  click on applications, add/remove when that opens go to advanced
[07:08] <protocol2> yo
[07:08] <Jack_Sparrow> next settings repositories and enable the ones you need
[07:08] <Lynoure> [Ex0r] : No way to detach just single windows/view, it's detaching screen or nothing. I still stand behind C-a C-d for detaching the screen
[07:09] <Glimmerati> but i m not clear how can i enable multiservers?
[07:09] <[Ex0r] > I used to use screen, and I could use ctrl+d or something and it WOULdn"T terminate the screen
[07:09] <jorvis_> Glimmerati: people are trying to help you but you have to be willing to read a little bit
[07:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Glimmerati:  just put checks next to all repositories.
[07:10] <Jack_Sparrow> then update
[07:10] <Xorlev> Hey everyone...compiling my kernel and I'm getting this error: drivers/built-in.o: In function `libata_acpi_notify': undefined reference to `acpi_in_suspend'
[07:10] <Lynoure> [Ex0r] : Yes, you could, if you did the C-a first. If C-a C-d terminates stuff for you, your screen has for some reason non-default keybindings and the best bet for you is to look for the conf file to see what those are
[07:10] <Glimmerati> i went to the site adviced..saw some notice abt repositories....but i know 2 little abt repositories....
[07:11] <jpgvietnam> hi
[07:11] <[Ex0r] > Lynoure, never had to use C-a before, just used C-d, than did a screen -r to reattach it. That was for a fedora install though
[07:11] <Xorlev> make[1] : *** [.tmp_vmlinux1]  Error 1 <-- This make error, so I'm not sure why it's barfing.
[07:11] <Madpilot> Glimmerati, did you see this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[07:11] <Glimmerati> yeah...
[07:12] <jorvis_> Glimmerati: that's why, rather than just clicking around until it works, it's best to read a little bit and understand.  Madpilot just gave you the link.
[07:12] <nofear> brb need reboot
[07:12] <jpgvietnam> how to create  shell script in linux ?
[07:12] <Lynoure> [Ex0r] : possibly it had different bindings... but I though you wer asking for how to do that in ubuntu.
[07:12] <jpgvietnam> ??
[07:12] <[Ex0r] > i was
[07:12] <[Ex0r] > figured it was the same
[07:13] <jorvis_> jpgvietnam: just use any text editor to create a file, make it executable, and there you go.
[07:13] <Xorlev> jpgvietnam: Make a file named whatever.sh, put your script inside, save it, then chmod +x whatever.sh
[07:13] <Glimmerati> ok....i hve learned abt repositories
[07:13] <swim> does anyone have e17 installed on dapper? I keep getting this error: http://paste.lisp.org/display/21983
[07:13] <jpgvietnam> yes
[07:13] <Glimmerati> let me try...thanks
[07:14] <jpgvietnam> ^^ thanks
[07:15] <TokenBad> ok for the restricted formats like avi and stuff...what repositories are needed?
[07:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !mp3
[07:15] <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
[07:16] <TokenBad> Jack_Sparrow, friend did the stuff there...but it still not finding the w32codecs and libxine-extracodecs
[07:17] <[_miT_] > TokenBad: lol i already asked them
[07:17] <jpgvietnam> i user $chmod u+x filename_script  , too
[07:17] <[_miT_] > they sent me to the restrictedformats page also
[07:18] <Jack_Sparrow> I has worked for 20 other people today.. read carefully
[07:18] <TokenBad> mit I know...just saying you did that....but still not finding those 2 files
[07:18] <TokenBad> which means you not have a repository selected
[07:18] <[_miT_] > yeah
[07:18] <Jack_Sparrow> did they try the code32cs in terminal window?
[07:18] <[_miT_] > there are two sets of each, did you mention that?
[07:19] <Jack_Sparrow> any errors?
[07:19] <ice_1963> like dpkg -i
[07:19] <Jack_Sparrow> You treat the first two lines as ONE...
[07:20] <Jack_Sparrow> watch for errors
[07:20] <TokenBad> Jack_Sparrow, no it just goes back to the prompt
[07:20] <TokenBad> but let me talk to him again and see for sure he did everything
[07:21] <Jack_Sparrow> It always works, only glitch I have seen is people trying that as three lines
[07:21] <Jack_Sparrow> and must be on internet of course
[07:21] <TokenBad> he got everything else installed but those 2 files
[07:22] <mooseman447> does anybody know how to make apache2 only make one huge log file and not automatically compress it?
[07:22] <[_miT_] > under my repositories there are two sets of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (binary) and Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (source)
[07:22] <cryptid> how do i play real format audio format in linux.plz help?
[07:22] <[_miT_] > could that be messing me up?
[07:23] <mooseman447> cryptid did you try the real player?
[07:23] <Disorganized> anyone here know bind?
[07:23] <cryptid> ya but thtz not working
[07:23] <lonegeek> Is there any thing wrong with this   //192.168.1.104/TV /media/TV    smbfs   username=zach,uid=zach 0       0
[07:24] <cryptid> mooseman:ya but thtz not working.wht should i do?
[07:24] <spankiez> random question: is there anything different between a hard drive controller and an optical disk controller?
[07:25] <spankiez> i have 2 hard drives, and I want to add a third.  So I wonder if I can use one of the spare cables used for the optical drives (i.e., cdrom)
[07:26] <jorvis_> spankiez: the cables are swappable.
[07:26] <lonegeek> in my fstab is there anything wrong with //192.168.1.104/TV /media/TV    smbfs   username=zach,uid=zach 0       0
[07:27] <Jack_Sparrow> HEre is the link for the libxine        http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/x/xine-extracodecs/
[07:27] <spankiez> jorvis_: so can a hard drive be plugged in with the same cable that's also being used for a cdrom?
[07:27] <TokenBad> Jack_Sparrow, its obvious he is mising a repository and I am not sure which one he needs or how to get him to add it
[07:27] <Jack_Sparrow> I pointed him to the deb
[07:28] <jorvis_> spankiez: the same cable, yes, not to the same place on the board.
[07:28] <Jack_Sparrow> spankiez: yes
[07:28] <jorvis_> you want to add a third drive, i'm assuming you have a raid board of some kind?
[07:28] <Jack_Sparrow> spankiez:  make sure to set cd to slave
[07:29] <Jack_Sparrow> hd to master
[07:29] <lonegeek> is there anything wrong with this in my fstab    /dev/hda1       /media/Media vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=000
[07:29] <lonegeek> 0       0
[07:29] <sky0> lonegeek: is that a trick question? obviously something is wrong, or you wouldn't be asking, would you? I would dare to guess that "uid=zach" is wrong, as uid is generally numerical.
[07:29] <Jack_Sparrow> jor You can have 3 hard drives and CD on standard IDE
[07:29] <spankiez> jorvis_: no, i just want to copy everything from the 3rd drive to the 2nd drive (OS is on first drive)
[07:30] <lonegeek> sky0, well im asking because its not mounting.......
[07:30] <cryptid> mooseman447:ya i tried it.but thtz not working.what do i do now?
[07:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Lone are you trying to mount a partition every time you boot?
[07:30] <cyphase> What happened to that idea of having Evince be a general document viewer? Meaning, not just for PDF and Postscript..
[07:31] <baconbacon> cyphase: like what other format
[07:31] <Jack_Sparrow> lonegeek I used the diskmounter script works llike a charm
[07:31] <cyphase> OpenDocument, Images, etc
[07:31] <cyphase> not an editor of course
[07:31] <spankiez> Jack_Sparrow: I could just take the cdrom off completely to simplify matters.  I just wasn't sure if the controller (on the mobo) was the same as a hard drive controller.
[07:31] <cyphase> just viewer
[07:31] <jpgvietnam> how to read file *.rar in linux
[07:31] <baconbacon> !rar
[07:31] <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
[07:31] <Jack_Sparrow> spankiez:  yes the same
[07:31] <lonegeek> Jack_Sparrow, im not familiar with that
[07:31] <jorvis_> jpgvietnam: unrar x somefile.rar
[07:32] <Jack_Sparrow> IDE 0 and IDE 1
[07:32] <jpgvietnam> on ubuntu linux only read file *.zip
[07:32] <jpgvietnam> ?
[07:32] <jpgvietnam> why ?
[07:32] <cyphase> jpgvietnam: no, it can read write a lot
[07:32] <cyphase> not just .zip
[07:33] <spankiez> Jack_Sparrow/jorvis_: cool, thanks a lot.
[07:33] <Jack_Sparrow> lonegeek: http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounter
[07:33] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[07:33] <cyphase> but rar is proprietary
[07:33] <baconbacon> there is package unrar-free and another one unrar(non free i guess)
[07:33] <dakine> grrrrrrr, i have firefox bookmarks in the desktop directory...now, how do i get them into home\firefox\profiles\bookmarks...there is no move command and i cant drag n drop cause i write to the etc directory? today is my first day with ubuntu (live 6.06) so i dont know jack and need a 'roadmap; of excatly what to do...tkz
[07:34] <WarOfAttrition> 7zip is the best
[07:34] <Jack_Sparrow> dakine: you can drop to term and use sudo nautilus --no-desktop or gksudo nautilus to have permission to move that
[07:35] <baconbacon> dakine, firefox has an import bookmarks function
[07:35] <dakine> i am usin nautilus, or at least i have been told i am
[07:35] <Jack_Sparrow> dakine:  but not un super user ode
[07:35] <BHSPitLappy> hi
[07:36] <Vague_Rant> Hey folks.
[07:36] <BHSPitLappy> just wondering, WHY are ubuntu-desktop and gaim co-dependent?
[07:36] <dakine> i have the firefox import screeen up now, but after i hilight 'bookmarks' there is no "go" button ...there is nothing to instigate a moce/copy/or any other command, thats why i am so frustrated
[07:36] <Vague_Rant> I was just using MEPIS and it had a feature that would have been great if it was available to users of the free version of MEPIS.
[07:36] <BHSPitLappy> and is there any way I can remove gaim WITHOUT removing ubuntud-desktop?
[07:36] <Vague_Rant> It allowed you to save the home directory to a USB stick, so that you could install things, save your settings, etc.
[07:36] <Jack_Sparrow> dakine: applications, accessories terminal then the commands above
[07:36] <Vague_Rant> Can Ubuntu do this?
[07:37] <Vague_Rant> As this is a shared computer, I'm basically limited to Live CDs.
[07:37] <sky0> dakine: you want to import browser-bookmarks into you newly installed linux?
[07:37] <Vague_Rant> But a Live CD with that functionality would be great.
[07:37] <James2006_> Hey, ubuntu won't recognise my onboard wifi. can someone please help me?
[07:37] <BHSPitLappy> Vague_Rant, try Slax, or another distro that's -intended- as a functional live cd
[07:37] <UltraMagnus> how can i get it so that when i press both mouse buttons on my laptop trackpad that it middle clicks? please
[07:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Knoppix can creat a persistent directory folder...
[07:38] <baconbacon> in firefox, bookmarks -> manage... , then file -> import
[07:38] <BHSPitLappy> ubuntu's live functionality is more of a demo than a practical desktop, Vague_Rant
[07:38] <Vague_Rant> Knoppix refuses to run on my PC.
[07:38] <Vague_Rant> Fair enough, BHS.
[07:38] <Vague_Rant> Thanks for the tip.
[07:38] <BHSPitLappy> good thing Slax isn't knoppix, then
[07:39] <James2006_> dapper drake wont find my onboard wifi! can someone help"?
[07:39] <dakine> yes sky0
[07:40] <reemusk> i have mounted my NTFS drive as read only, but it says i need to have root acess to do so. how do i do that?
[07:40] <sky0> dakine: then you don't need to mess around with nautilus or superuser right; baconbacon told you above: in firefox, bookmarks -> manage... , then file -> import
[07:41] <lonegeek> Can anyone say whats wrong with this....    //192.168.1.104/TV /media/TV    smbfs  uid=zach,username=zach
[07:41] <sky0> dakine: then select the file containing the bookmarks and you should be done
[07:41] <tonyyarusso> dakine: Still having trouble with that?
[07:42] <James2006_> herro?
[07:42] <sky0> lonegeek: run 'id zach' in a shell and use the uid= value it gives you instead of 'zach'; uid=1001 for example ?
[07:42] <dakine> i just want to get my bookmarks done so i can go back and d/l the real version 6/06 and install it then over time i can learn all this crap i keep hearing...i am a complete totala novice and need nfo i can actually go do to get my results
[07:42] <skon> dakine: in future you could also use google browser sync which keeps a backup of all your bookmarks, history etc and reloads each time you start up firefox
[07:42] <Schalken> Where are the packages downloaded through synaptic kept?
[07:42] <reemusk> !seen mwe
[07:42] <ubotu> I last saw mwe (n=mwe@port462.ds1-ynoe.adsl.cybercity.dk) 4h 43m 59s ago, quiting: "Leaving"
[07:42] <reemusk> dang that's the last time i seen him too. thanks oh mighty bot unbuntu
[07:43] <reemusk> uboto
[07:43] <tonyyarusso> dakine: You said it lacks a "Go" button - I'm seeing "Open" to select the file, what happens when you click that?
[07:43] <reemusk> i have mounted my NTFS drive as read only, but it says i need to have root acess to do so. how do i do that?

[07:45] <tonyyarusso> dakine: Are you doing this in the Import dialogue?
[07:46] <Jack_Sparrow> TokenBad:  because that is NOT how the wiki says to do it.
[07:46] <soop> anyone ever configure dual video cards?
[07:46] <TokenBad> Jack_Sparrow, I know how it says to do it...but if he uses apt-get or synaptic its not finding it..so there has to be a reason
[07:46] <dakine> no, i was told tousee nautilus

[07:48] <q_a_z_steve> are sambastart and lisa available in 6.06?
[07:48] <tonyyarusso> dakine: I'm not sure why...try it the other way.  In Firefox, select Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks.  From within that, File > Import, select your file, and click Open.  All done.
[07:48] <Jack_Sparrow> you just said it wasnt there now you say it is..
[07:48] <TokenBad> no..said its not in his

[08:04] <derjur> does dhcp too
[08:04] <rob> dnsmasq

[08:04] <rob> dnsmasq works great for home use
[08:04] <James2006_> anyone got any clues on wireless adapters? ubuntu wont find my onbaord wifi on my notebook
[08:04] <James2006_> ^^^
[08:04] <derjur> has anyone seen an issue with 6.06 and gaim where it just will not connect to msn?
[08:04] <alink1000> hey people
[08:04] <PacketScan> James2006_, ndiswrapper
[08:04] <alink1000> um
[08:04] <sethk> James2006_, find's mine on a couple of different laptops
[08:04] <alink1000> anyone got experience with linksys router?
[08:04] <James2006_> PacketScan: elaborate?
[08:04] <menisk> reemusk, did it work
[08:04] <alink1000> even the company can't help me.
[08:05] <alink1000> they're too  stupid, and only have experience with crap OSs. :P
[08:05] <sethk> alink1000, "even" the company?
[08:05] <alink1000> linksys
[08:05] <alink1000> I'm trying to get my internet working
[08:05] <PacketScan> James2006_, using ndiswrapper you can take a windows driver and use it in linux
[08:05] <sethk> alink1000, I know, I was being sarcastic
[08:05] <alink1000> :P
[08:05] <alink1000> so, do you?
[08:05] <Disorganized> dnsmasq does dhcp too tho.. i'm simply looking to setup a small nameserver to be authoritive for the 6 domains i host on a single box
[08:05] <James2006_> ok ill have a look into it
[08:05] <sethk> alink1000, I have worked with a couple of linksys routers, but there are many different ones
[08:05] <GigaClon> whats the command to list processes?
[08:05] <alink1000> hold up, I'll tell you the model number
[08:05] <sethk> GigaClon, ps

[08:06] <[_miT_] > how do i run the latest easyubuntu?
[08:06] <James2006_> k
[08:06] <[_miT_] > its not python
[08:06] <sethk> alink1000, I've worked with that one a bit.  what problem are you having?
[08:06] <alink1000> I need to configure it with linux.
[08:06] <sky0> reemusk:  you asked for docs? http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/debian/chapter/book/index.html - http://www.tldp.org/FAQ/Linux-FAQ/ - http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ - http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/index.html
[08:06] <harsha> Hello all! Has anyone been successful in compiling cvs emacs with xft support on  Ubunutu v 6.06?
[08:07] <alink1000> it's not automatically detecting the IP address through DHCP. :S
[08:07] <alink1000> though it is connected
[08:07] <MTecknology> how can I see how hot my computer is?
[08:07] <reemusk> ah crap
[08:07] <reemusk> that's the command to do a root for nautilus
[08:07] <sethk> alink1000, all I did was tell the box to use dhcp.
[08:08] <user_> i just downloaded the linux-source.2.6.15.tar.bz2 with ubuntu patches... but when i try to unzip it (tar -xvjf <filename>) the tar program gives me an error and returns 2... any suggestions?
[08:08] <Jack_Sparrow> James2006_:  I like Konversation for IRC
[08:08] <alink1000> how would I do that?
[08:08] <menisk> reemusk, did the mp3 work with xmms?
[08:08] <alink1000> I tried entering the router's IP into FF, but it gives me an "Unable to connect" error... :S
[08:08] <sethk> alink1000, network-admin, then select the interface, click properties, and click the checkbox for dhcp
[08:08] <reemusk> i'm transferring them over to my linux system...i'm gonna test it right now
[08:08] <alink1000> read what I said before your last post. :P
[08:08] <menisk> ok
[08:09] <nbjayme> bimberi , PacketScan : it cannot get the exact IP probably behind a router... but mysterious because Cups can detect those shared printers with Detect Lan Printers enabled.... it registers the host name but i want to get the ip.... oh well, have to walk to the other building...(i'm just a bit lazy noh? :))   )
[08:09] <James2006_> Jack_Sparrow: why's that?
[08:09] <Jack_Sparrow> I just like the features and highlights
[08:09] <James2006_> yerah
[08:09] <James2006_> ill give em both a shot'
[08:09] <reemusk> haha! GOT IT!
[08:10] <reemusk> you guys are awesome
[08:10] <dakine> whoo hoo, in spite of myself and others i am seeing my bookmarks now, dont remember how i did it but they ate there!!!!!
[08:10] <sethk> alink1000, using dhcp there is nowhere that you enter the router's IP, so I don't follow you.
[08:10] <James2006_> but my real problem is my wifi
[08:10] <James2006_> it wont pickup my nmotebook!
[08:10] <James2006_> gosh dangit
[08:10] <alink1000> uh
[08:10] <alink1000> you enter it in a browser
[08:10] <PacketScan> James2006_, what card?
[08:10] <sethk> alink1000, oh, you mean to configure it.
[08:10] <James2006_> not too sure?
[08:10] <James2006_> intel i think
[08:10] <alink1000> yes
[08:10] <James2006_> proset?
[08:10] <alink1000> :)
[08:10] <sethk> alink1000, you are doing a chicken and egg thing
[08:10] <alink1000> ...? :S
[08:11] <sethk> alink1000, to talk to the router for configuration purposes, you have to configure the network interface on your box
[08:11] <stbrenner> i'd like to create an NTFS partition on my laptop and install XP....anyone wanna help me out in getting started?  i have no clue what application can help me with this in linux
[08:11] <q_a_z_steve> James2006_: intel pro wireless 2200BG?
[08:11] <alink1000> and I would do that by...
[08:11] <sethk> alink1000, ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
[08:11] <sethk> alink1000, assuming that your interface is named eth0
[08:12] <alink1000> where do I enter that? :)
[08:12] <sethk> alink1000, the default for the router might be 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, the docs should tell you which.
[08:12] <sethk> alink1000, that's a command line. so you enter it at a command prompt
[08:12] <yoshiznit123> stbrenner, use gparted
[08:12] <q_a_z_steve> console!
[08:12] <alink1000> in the ubuntu terminal?
[08:12] <sethk> alink1000, or you can use network-admin
[08:12] <alink1000> or terminal, right?
[08:12] <sethk> alink1000, which is easier if you aren't familiar with command line things
[08:13] <alink1000> I am
[08:13] <menisk> reemusk, they are working?
[08:13] <sethk> alink1000, right, terminal, konsole in kde, xterm, etc.
[08:13] <alink1000> k
[08:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub >stbrenner
[08:13] <nooseisloose> to use hostap rather than orinoco, do I need to d/l kernel headers?
[08:13] <sethk> alink1000, ifconfig -a   will show you all interfaces, configured or not configured; you can use it to check that your interface is named eth0
[08:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub > stbrenner
[08:13] <reemusk> yes menisk :)
[08:13] <menisk> reemusk, glad to be of service
[08:14] <James2006_> steve, yeah something like that
[08:14] <reemusk> thank you so much :)
[08:16] <zooy0rk> is the i2c_sensor module missing from dapper?
[08:16] <alink1000> sethk, it says permission denied 3 times in 3 different lines, with some numbers and letters before it, when I entered that command line.
[08:16] <alink1000> What's wrong? :S
[08:17] <sethk> alink1000, sorry, I forgot:  sudo ifconfig ....
[08:17] <alink1000> oh yeah. :P
[08:17] <sethk> alink1000, unless you are root, you need sudo at the beginning of the command.
[08:17] <alink1000> yeah
[08:18] <alink1000> command not found! :O
[08:19] <sethk> ifconfig?  can't be, first of all because it found the command and gave you the errors
[08:19] <sethk> alink1000, do     which ifconfig           then sudo /usr/sbin/ifconfig .....     (or whatever the path is; might be /sbin/ifconfig)
[08:20] <sethk> alink1000, /sbin/ifconfig on my ubuntu boxes
[08:20] <alink1000> whoa, can you explain that a little more clearly please?
[08:20] <alink1000> I'm sorta new with ubuntu. :P
[08:20] <sethk> alink1000, yes, entering    which ifconfig           will show you the full name of ifconfig.  On my box it is /sbin/ifconfig
[08:21] <alink1000> oh, okay
[08:21] <Jack_Sparrow> alink1000: HE is spoonfeeding now..
[08:21] <sethk> alink1000, then, you use    sudo /sbin/ifconfig       which will get rid of the not found error.
[08:21] <alink1000> okay
[08:22] <solic> Jack_Sparrow you want to ask your mam to carry on spoon feeding you when you still feel you have to make those kinds of comments
[08:22] <alink1000> ACK!
[08:22] <sethk> brb I hope... plenty of other folks here that know all of this.
[08:22] <alink1000> still command not found
[08:23] <flankk> A default mount point in my /mnt was deleted.  How can I restore it so it is recreated when mounted like it used to, not just by creating a directory?
[08:23] <askvictor> I've connected a USB printer to my dapper computer and the gnome printer config doesn't let me choose any USB ports when trying to set it up
[08:23] <alink1000> it showed a bunch of lines of crap, so I thought it must've been workin'...
[08:23] <alink1000> but it's still command not found... :S
[08:23] <fyrestrtr> alink1000: famous last words there :)
[08:23] <sethk> alink1000, paste the output to a paste bot
[08:24] <Jack_Sparrow> solic... go fuck yourself and your mother and your dog..
[08:24] <Madpeter> hello everyone
[08:24] <sethk> alink1000, because if the command is truly not found you will see only one line of output
[08:24] <alink1000> a paste bot...?  :S
[08:24] <Madpeter> what is ubuntu like as a os, is it all code or is there a gui?
[08:24] <askvictor> Madpeter: gui rocks
[08:24] <menisk> how do I install dapper without killing my current configuration of ubuntu?
[08:24] <Back_Space> Madpeter: it depends
[08:25] <thunderbolt> The default desktop install has a nice GUI associated with it.
[08:25] <menisk> Madpeter, ubuntu is an os and it kicks arse
[08:25] <askvictor> Madpeter: you can go command line, but there is a gui by default which rivals apple in how smooth it is
[08:25] <alink1000> hellz yeah it does. (h)
[08:25] <Back_Space> yeah Gnome is functional
[08:25] <alink1000> B)*
[08:25] <alink1000> now...
[08:26] <Madpeter> whats the min specs needed to load and use the system?
[08:26] <menisk> Madpeter, go to shipit.ubuntu.com
[08:26] <alink1000> about my sticky predicament...
[08:26] <Madpeter> my cd is allready on its way
[08:26] <cubikdice> hey guys, i have a computer here with 2 eithernet ports. the first port is straight into a hub with leads to a modem. and the second port is connected to a box running ubuntu. the computer which is directly connected to the internet is a windows machine. how do i get the ubuntu computer to use the same ip and get NET access throw this windows machine?
[08:26] <menisk> Madpeter, What are ur pc's spec?
[08:26] <flankk> A default mount point in my /mnt was deleted.  How can I restore it so it is recreated when mounted like it used to, not just by creating a directory?
[08:26] <Madpeter> my main comp is a amd but im getting a p2 just to test it
[08:27] <Madpeter> this will be my first run with a non windows os
[08:27] <ccccccc> Does anyone know in linux kernel 2.6.16 source codes,which files are mainboard drivers?
[08:27] <alink1000> *waits patiently*
[08:27] <menisk> Madpeter, Do u have at least 128mb ram?
[08:27] <Back_Space> Madpeter: are you getting ubuntu server or teh desktop version] 
[08:27] <Madpeter> yep
[08:27] <Madpeter> desktop normal
[08:27] <menisk> Madpeter, whats ur processor speed?
[08:27] <DarkMageZ> cubikdice, you need to "network bridge" both of the connections on the windows box
[08:27] <ccccccc> Does ubuntu need mainboard driver?
[08:27] <Madpeter> best for most of ya
[08:27] <tonyyarusso> Madpeter: There are also a number of screenshots on osdir.com.
[08:27] <Back_Space> ok tahn
[08:28] <alink1000> =(
[08:29] <nooseisloose> alink what is the question again?
[08:29] <Back_Space> Madpeter, what made you want to try linux
[08:29] <flankk> A default mount point in my /mnt was deleted.  How can I restore it so it is recreated when mounted like it used to, not just by creating a directory?
[08:29] <menisk> how do i install dapper without killing my current configuration of ubuntu
[08:29] <tonyyarusso> !upgrade

[08:30] <menisk> Madpeter u sould be able to install ubuntu
[08:30] <menisk> i I run it on a six yr old pc with a 600mhz proccessor
[08:31] <Back_Space> I installed ubuntu on a 1998 computer
[08:31] <alink1000> um
[08:31] <Madpeter> now this Q is going to piss most of you off ^_^, has there been any reported issues with AOL <+<
[08:31] <alink1000> to get my internet working
[08:31] <alink1000> with my linksys router
[08:31] <alink1000> on ubuntu linux
[08:31] <alink1000> latest verion
[08:31] <Back_Space> not taht i know of
[08:31] <alink1000> that good? :)
[08:31] <tonyyarusso> Madpeter: What sort of issues?  Specific to Ubuntu, or just that AOL's &%*$ ?
[08:31] <Madpeter> just aol
[08:31] <Madpeter> <+<
[08:31] <Madpeter> lol
[08:31] <menisk> Madpeter, u can connect to AOL using gaim
[08:31] <askvictor> I've got a usb printer, but CUPS won't give me any options for letting me use the USB port. any suggestions? am I missing any packages?
[08:31] <menisk> it works
[08:32] <Madpeter> gaim is a windows emulater no?
[08:32] <alink1000> so...um...yeah
[08:32] <alink1000> help would be great by others too.
[08:32] <Back_Space> !gaim
[08:32] <ubotu> Instant Messenger Clients: Gaim (GNOME, http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GaimHowto), Kopete (KDE), both supporting MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC.
[08:32] <tonyyarusso> Madpeter: Wait, AOL as an ISP or AIM?  Gaim is a chat client.
[08:32] <Madpeter> AOL the isp
[08:32] <Madpeter> i would have said AIM if I ever wanted to use there crappy chat thing
[08:32] <flankk> Madpeter: Why not call them?
[08:33] <Back_Space> I dont know if there is an AOL for linux
[08:33] <nooseisloose> ok I will give it a shot
[08:33] <Madpeter> I dislike AOL support
[08:33] <nooseisloose> what's your ip address?
[08:33] <tonyyarusso> Madpeter: That's just dialup right?  Or do they offer more?  In short, they'll refuse to help you if you call tech support and mention Linux, so you'll have to fake that you're on Windows if you ever have trouble.
[08:33] <Madpeter> DSL
[08:33] <flankk> Madpeter: Well, it is your choice to pay for their service.
[08:33] <Back_Space> Madpeter, http://yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialAOL.html
[08:33] <alink1000> fine, I'll get help for this tomorrow in here.
[08:34] <alink1000> It's getting late here anyways
[08:34] <nooseisloose> alink1000: what's your ip address?
[08:34] <alink1000> comcast or router's?
[08:34] <tonyyarusso> Madpeter: I don't know about AOL's, but when I had DSL they had a CD full of special software I was supposed to install under Windows, but with Ubuntu I just had to plug in the cable and turn the modem on.
[08:34] <alink1000> you can see my comcast IP if you hover over my nick.
[08:34] <nooseisloose> the computer thaT  doesnt' work's
[08:34] <swim> does anyone have e17 installed on dapper? I keep getting this error: http://paste.lisp.org/display/21983
[08:35] <Back_Space> Its called pengAOL, the verson of AOL for linux
[08:35] <alink1000> well
[08:35] <alink1000> what now?
[08:35] <zcat[1] > tonyyarusso: the same works under windows; they CD full of spyware and advertising is totally optional. Most people just don't know it.
[08:35] <sethk> zcat[1] , is quite correct
[08:35] <Back_Space> Madpeter you can also see this http://yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialAOL.html
[08:35] <alink1000> *sigh* well I'm gonna go now
[08:35] <Back_Space> grr wrong link
[08:36] <snooky353> any mplayer debs, yet?
[08:36] <Back_Space> http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-21425.html
[08:36] <tonyyarusso> zcat[1] : Nice.  (although less spyware and no ads on mine - it was Bell not AOL)
[08:36] <alink1000> I'll just get help tomorrow, since it's getting late here anyways
[08:36] <nooseisloose> alink1000: I am guessing you have two or more pc with a linksys router, and the linksys connects to the comcast and does nat?
[08:36] <alink1000> yes
[08:36] <alink1000> one macintosh, one linux
[08:36] <alink1000> macintosh, I'm on now
[08:36] <alink1000> I need to configure linux
[08:36] <alink1000> to work with it
[08:36] <alink1000> I need to configure the router I think
[08:36] <nooseisloose> is the mac on the router?
[08:37] <alink1000> but when I type the router's IP in firefox, it gives me an unable o connect error
[08:37] <alink1000> *to
[08:37] <nooseisloose> macintosh
[08:37] <alink1000> yes
[08:37] <alink1000> both are
[08:37] <fyrestrtr> your router runs a dhcp server?
[08:37] <alink1000> yes
[08:37] <nooseisloose> got a console open?
[08:37] <alink1000> terminal?
[08:37] <alink1000> yep
[08:37] <nooseisloose> yes
[08:37] <alink1000> man, but it's clear the hell up stairs...
[08:37] <alink1000> I have to remember shit or keep coming back down.... :(
[08:38] <alink1000> my PC that is
[08:38] <nooseisloose> what's the ip on the macintosh?
[08:38] <alink1000> 67.182.202.36
[08:39] <nooseisloose> and the router's ip?
[08:39] <alink1000> 192.168.1.1
[08:40] <void^> if that's true you are directly connected on the mac.
[08:40] <alink1000> yes
[08:40] <nooseisloose> if you open a terminal on the macintosh and say ifconfig it says 67.182.202.36?
[08:40] <sethk> alink1000, if you can't do ifconfig, then use the gui (network-admin) and set the ip to 192.168.1.10 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0
[08:40] <alink1000> the short router cord is going to the mac
[08:40] <alink1000> you mean 1.100?
[08:40] <sethk> alink1000, 1.anything except 1, actually
[08:41] <alink1000> okay
[08:41] <sethk> alink1000, if you want to talk to the router, and the router is 192.168.1.1/24, then you need 192.168.1.X/24 where X is something not in use.
[08:41] <nooseisloose> you may have to give route add default gw 192.168.1.1 dev eth0
[08:41] <nooseisloose> where eth0 is your ethernet card
[08:41] <sethk> nooseisloose, no, not for this purpose
[08:42] <sethk> nooseisloose, no routing is required for communication among machines on the same subnet
[08:42] <gore_> I just thought of somethign
[08:42] <nooseisloose> he just said they were not on the same subnet
[08:42] <nooseisloose> sethk 67.182.202.36 192.168.1.1
[08:42] <gore_> I definitely need to irc through a vhost or a proxy
[08:42] <sethk> nooseisloose, then he can't configure from a box on another subnet
[08:43] <alink1000> um
[08:43] <alink1000> seth
[08:43] <alink1000> I already err.. did that in the network admin
[08:43] <nooseisloose> seth is he doing that?
[08:43] <alink1000> I already did that on the network admin, but I ain't got internetz yet. :
[08:43] <gore_> if someone finds a bug in the software distributed by unbuntu, they could join this channel and acces every machine
[08:43] <alink1000> * :(
[08:43] <gore_> thats bad
[08:43] <sethk> nooseisloose, well, by now we are all thoroughly confused.  What he was asking originally is how to set up his ubuntu box so he can use it to configure his linksys router
[08:43] <flankk> Madpeter: Well, it is your choice to pay for their service.
[08:44] <alink1000> yes
[08:44] <alink1000> well
[08:44] <nooseisloose> sethk, alink, so what are the facts?
[08:44] <alink1000> I put the IP, etc. in the network admin
[08:44] <Madpeter> i dont pay for it
[08:44] <alink1000> I think I need to configure my router
[08:44] <alink1000> however...
[08:44] <czer323> gore_: on what basis?
[08:44] <Madpeter> is there still thous free isp's around?
[08:44] <alink1000> when I try to type my router's IP address into FF, it gives me an unable to connect error
[08:45] <alink1000> Imma try it again
[08:45] <sethk> alink1000, try to ping the router from the command line.  that will tell you if you are connected on the same subnet.
[08:45] <nooseisloose> alink yes ping
[08:45] <dakine> does zone alarm filewall work on linux , if not what does?
[08:46] <alink1000> how would I do that?
[08:46] <askvictor> I can't get CUPS to allow me to use by USB printer - the USB device doesn't show up when trying add the printer. lsusb and lsmod both show the device is present. Any ideas?
[08:46] <nooseisloose> alink ping 192.168.1.1
[08:47] <tabber> anyone using starcraft + wine?
[08:48] <alink1000> I got a 56(84) bytes of data line
[08:48] <alink1000> whaddose that mean?
[08:48] <nedss_> hello everyone!
[08:48] <tabber> starcraft + wine => help!
[08:48] <alink1000> well it's getting a little late
[08:48] <nedss_> so, i setup ubuntu server and got x going remotely
[08:48] <alink1000> I'll get help tomorrow.
[08:49] <nedss_> and i want to get vnc going...
[08:49] <sethk> askvictor, when I had that problem it was caused by the kernel for usb printing not enabled.
[08:49] <alink1000> see ya guys
[08:49] <nedss_> how do set it up remotely via the cmnd line?
[08:49] <sethk> askvictor, the kernel module for usb printing, sorry
[08:49] <askvictor> sethk: which module is that?
[08:50] <askvictor> sethk: usblp is installed; is there another one i need?
[08:50] <nooseisloose> nedss apt-cache search?
[08:50] <tich> i installed picasso but now i want to remove it but it isn't in the repositories (so i can't apt-get/synaptic) how do i fully remove it?
[08:50] <nedss_> nooseisloose:  apt-cache search?
[08:51] <nedss_> nooseisloose:  I'm trying to allow vnc connections
[08:51] <nedss_> i don't have physical access to the machine
[08:51] <nedss_> vnc is installed and running
[08:51] <nedss_> but i've never logged into the machine via x
[08:51] <nedss_> its sitting with a login screen right now
[08:52] <nedss_> hours and hours away from me :)
[08:52] <bobby> where does one leave a bug report about the ubuntu-desktop livecd? I just want to note that it does not work at all with a SiS 661FX graphics card (you put the cd in and you see the isoloader text then blank and the cd fails to load further (system requires a hard reset)
[08:53] <Madpeter> how well does this os connect to windows (if at all)
[08:55] <bobby> Madpeter, define your question in a clearer fashion?
[08:55] <Madpeter> does the desktop connect to windows XP?
[08:55] <bobby> again, define connect and desktop?
[08:55] <Healot> houte couture
[08:56] <zcat[1] > assuming you mean filesharing, samba works mostly the same as windows (you can browse the network the same, and share folders from linux)
[08:57] <Madpeter> the os that comes with the desktop users CD
[08:57] <bobby> Madpeter, you are asking why the moon looks grey...
[08:57] <zcat[1] > remote desktop is about the same afaik; you can control a windows machine or allow windows to control your linux desktop..
[08:57] <bobby> ask specific answerable questions else it is very hard to help you
[08:58] <zcat[1] > and of course everything else .. ubuntu can be a webserver, ftp server, ldap/dhcp/pop3/imap/whatever server which is all as compatable anything else
[08:58] <cntb> what fax program in UBUNTU is available
[08:58] <bobby> ubuntu and windows xp may 'connect' well by my definition as it does what I need...yet may not do what you need at all.  though as mind reading isn't one of my skills it is hard to understand what you mean by connect
[08:59] <bobby> cntb, ubuntufax ?
[08:59] <Madpeter> fear the noobie q's ^_^ does it allow using an active connection on XP to be used?
[08:59] <cntb> !ubuntufax
[08:59] <ubotu> I know nothing about ubuntufax
[08:59] <KenSentMe> Madpeter: do you mean accessing windows shares. then Yes
[08:59] <cntb> boby ru  guessing my friend?
[09:00] <KenSentMe> !tell Madpeter about samba
[09:00] <Tmob> anyone run i8kmon here?
[09:00] <bobby> cntb, this thread may help you http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=444794
[09:00] <zcat[1] > Madpeter: Umm.. you mean if you share your connection in windows? yes, that will work, ubuntu will see the connection. If you enable NAT and dhcp in ubuntu, Windows will likewise see that as a shared network connection..
[09:00] <bobby> cntb, does googling count as guessing :P
[09:00] <Tmob> anyone know how to fix this error: Error in startup script: can't find package Tk 8.0  ??
[09:00] <charle97> bobby, do you mean an internet connection on xp shared with ubuntu?
[09:00] <cntb> !samba > Madpeter
[09:01] <rob_p> cntb, Open a shell and type, "apt-cache search fax" and you'll get a list of packages available in the repos with the string, "fax" in them.
[09:01] <bobby> Madpeter, or are you talking about remote desktop or vnc connections - if so gnu/linux supports those, mostly, better than windows itself :)
[09:01] <cntb> 10x rob-p
[09:01] <zcat[1] > if you plug both windows and ubuntu into any standard dsl or cable modem, they'll both happily share the connection without even being aware of each other
[09:01] <jasonm> i downloaded http://www.ubuntudebs.luxz.net/breezy/rufus.0.6.5/rufus_0.6.5-0ubuntu1_i386.deb, but i dont understand how to install
[09:01] <jasonm> any help
[09:01] <lonegeek> how do i disable password for client computers on a windows network...
[09:01] <nooseisloose> nedss when you say x do you mean xmdcp?
[09:02] <bobby> jasonm, sudo dpkg -i rufus_0.6.5-0ubuntu1_i386.deb   from the directory it is sitting in
[09:02] <rob_p> cntb, welcome
[09:02] <bobby> lonegeek, are you talking about incoming connections via samba to a linux boxens shares?
[09:02] <Madpeter> ok next noobie Q, how well does it do with games? and is there any games that will not ever run
[09:02] <lonegeek> bobby: yes.... when i try to access on a windows pc...it wants a password...i want that disabled
[09:03] <stevekl> bobby, if boxen is the plural of box then what's boxenS ;)
[09:03] <bobby> Madpeter, many games wont run on linux...it is more of a question of 'will this game run at all' than 'what games wont run'?
[09:03] <bobby> stevekl, an ox :)
[09:03] <charle97> dual boot
[09:03] <jasonm> bobby, thats what i thought. but i get this: rufus_0.6.5-0ubuntu1_i386.deb' is not a debian format archive
[09:03] <tomlikestorock> Madpeter: generally the most popular games have the best support, however
[09:04] <bobby> lonegeek, the solution leads to an insecure box you realise?
[09:04] <bobby> jasonm, then it is probably corrupt
[09:04] <lonegeek> bobby: if its only on my wired network...is there really that much risk?
[09:04] <jasonm> bobby, fuck, thanks.
[09:05] <Madpeter> is there any key things I will need to know to be able to install the OS?
[09:05] <bobby> lonegeek, I don't think so which is why I do it at home...just thought I'd warn you.  give me a moment to find the changes you need
[09:05] <jasonm> does anyone know a channel for help with rhythmbox?
[09:05] <tomlikestorock> Madpeter: partitioning, but only a high level knowledge is required
[09:06] <bobby> gah sorry lonegeek got to go
[09:06] <bobby> the net has what you want, I should be back online in 30 mins or so if you are still about
[09:06] <bobby> later all
[09:06] <nooseisloose> nedss_: you have vnc on the remote machine?
[09:07] <dakine> to officially install ubuntu, should i use an iso of the "real" version or just choose the install feature of this live version?
[09:08] <Subhuman> dakine, does the same thing.
[09:08] <Subhuman> the live cd IS the official install cd.
[09:08] <tomlikestorock> dakine: the install off the live is just fine :)
[09:08] <dakine> oh...ok, this will give me admin/boss privledges and all? cool
[09:08] <tomlikestorock> dakine: where you located?
[09:08] <dakine> maui
[09:08] <nedss_> nnoseisloose:  yes
[09:09] <nedss_> nooseisloose: yes
[09:09] <tomlikestorock> waiks
[09:09] <tomlikestorock> oahu
[09:09] <lonegeek> does anyone have latest fglrx driver and latest kernel working together? hardware acceleration quit working for me...
[09:09] <nooseisloose> and you have a login terminal to it?
[09:09] <Tmob> anyone know how to fix this error: Error in startup script: can't find package Tk 8.0  ? i'm trying to run i8kmon on my laptop
[09:09] <dakine> no, maui is one of the other islands. oahu is 90mi/150km away
[09:09] <tomlikestorock> yeah, I know
[09:09] <nedss_> yes
[09:09] <nooseisloose> nedss_: you can ssh into it?
[09:09] <nedss_> yes
[09:10] <corey> howdyhowdy
[09:10] <nooseisloose> nedss_:have you set a vncpasswd
[09:10] <nedss_> yes
[09:10] <corey> has adobe released flash player 9 for linux yet ?
[09:10] <nooseisloose> nedss_: still cant open a vnc session?
[09:10] <Axe_> ubuntubuntubuntubuntubuntubunt
[09:11] <boredandblogging> hi everyone
[09:11] <Seveas> corey, are pigs fying yet?
[09:11] <nedss_> no...I don't have root access but set the password by doing "vncpasswd /home/username/.vncpasswd
[09:11] <Axe_> I fried a pig
[09:11] <Axe_> the other day
[09:11] <Axe_> it was fun
[09:11] <corey> me 2
[09:11] <corey> thats a shame adobe said they where making linux player 9 those bastards
[09:13] <Seveas> corey, yes, in early 2007...
[09:13] <corey> pft
[09:13] <boredandblogging> can someone tell me how to fix the error when I try to run xbitchx "uable to open open font default8x16." do I need to set something in the xorg.conf?
[09:13] <nooseisloose> nedss_: is port 7100 open?
[09:13] <nedss_> no...5900 needs to be open, no?
[09:14] <nooseisloose> nedss_: let me make sure
[09:14] <woodwizzle> IDLE won't start for me :( I do have it installed.
[09:15] <nooseisloose> nedss_; oops 7100 is font serve pay no attention, is you vnc port open?
[09:15] <Subhuman> it is 5900
[09:15] <nooseisloose> ty
[09:15] <Subhuman> 5800 is the web end
[09:15] <nedss_> nooseisloose:yeah
[09:15] <nooseisloose> nedss_: can you do the web login?
[09:15] <Seveas> corey, http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/
[09:15] <nedss_> nooseisloose: how do i do that?
[09:16] <nooseisloose> nedss_: point your browser to http://remote-machine:5800
[09:17] <nooseisloose> nedss_: also look in the machine's /etc/vnc.conf and see what it specifies the password file to be named
[09:17] <nedss_> ok
[09:18] <Nameeater> why does gnome not let my set a static IP in networking? with DHCP it lets me click ok but if I put static and fill it in it remains grayed out
[09:18] <nooseisloose> nedss_: as in # $vncPasswdFile = $vncUserDir . "/passwd"
[09:18] <Nameeater> nevermind, typo
[09:21] <nedss_> ok i'm getting a blank screen with an x
[09:21] <nedss_> now what?
[09:24] <woodwizzle> anyone else get a traceback in dapper running IDLE

[09:30] <tich> how do i un-install applications?
[09:31] <Healot> tich: the packages you installed with the installer? like adept, synaptic, apt-get?
[09:31] <Healot> the easiest way to do so, "sudo apt-get remove <package name>"
[09:32] <caturOK> how to reject mp3 at to squid.conf
[09:33] <tich> healot; i installed it with gdebi and it isn't available in the repositories
[09:33] <caturOK> i have coding my squid.conf : acl regex -i $.exe
[09:33] <nooseisloose> nedss_: you're getting a blank screen with an X?
[09:33] <cubikdice> Hey guys, i currently have 2 computers in my room right now. the first one i'm on right now is a windows xp box and the second one is an ubuntu 5.04 box. this first box has 2 ethernet ports, the first one connected to the modem and the second connected to the ubuntu box. how would i get the ubuntu box to use the internet with the same ip and everything going throw this windows box???
[09:33] <gatekeeper> dreamcatcher5172: where did you get your tar from?
[09:33] <nedss_> nooseisloose: yes
[09:33] <caturOK> but why the user can download that dile
[09:33] <caturOK> file
[09:33] <nedss_> nooseisloose: now what?
[09:33] <dreamcatcher5172> the homepage that hosts it
[09:34] <nooseisloose> nedss_: like when X is loading but not with gnome or KDE or anything?
[09:34] <dreamcatcher5172> its a game running on the cube2 engine...
[09:34] <nedss_> nooseisloose: yes
[09:34] <dreamcatcher5172> fps rpg
[09:34] <nedss_> nooseisloose: exactly
[09:34] <Healot> doom 3?
[09:34] <nooseisloose> nedss_: slow net conection?
[09:34] <nedss_> nooseisloose: not that slow...:)
[09:34] <nooseisloose> nedss_: drat!
[09:34] <dreamcatcher5172> kinda like that...though the graphics arent as good...
[09:35] <gatekeeper> dreamcatcher5172: a URL?
[09:35] <dreamcatcher5172> oh yeah..let me find it
[09:35] <KenSentMe> cubikdice: i think you should use the windows feature Internet Connection Sharing. I think you can activate it by right clicking on your lan connection to the modem. I don't know what ip the ubuntu box should get, but maybe by setting this on dhcp you will get it automaticly.
[09:36] <dreamcatcher5172> www.sauerbraten.org
[09:36] <nooseisloose> nedss_: I think you are going to have to install or configure a window manager to go with X, it seems like you got logged in properly, though you should verify it in ssh by checking netstat
[09:36] <dreamcatcher5172> i got it from there
[09:36] <Healot> 192.168.0.X netmask 255.255.255.0
[09:36] <nedss_> the server is sitting on a T1
[09:36] <nedss_> nooseisloose: gnome is installed :)
[09:36] <cubikdice> KenSentMe, then run dhclient3 on the ubuntu box?
[09:37] <tich> Healot, i installed it with gdebi?
[09:37] <Healot> and the Windows PC with ICS activated shall have 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
[09:37] <nooseisloose> nedss_: is gdm running?
[09:37] <cubikdice> KenSentMe, oh, and it was a server install
[09:37] <Healot> tich: do you know the name of the package?
[09:37] <KenSentMe> cubikdice: i think you can configure /etc/network/interfaces so it uses dhcp
[09:37] <Healot> then use gdebi to remove it
[09:37] <tich> Healot, it is picaso
[09:37] <nedss_> nooseisloose: yes
[09:37] <nedss_> nooseisloose: when i left it a couple days ago it was
[09:37] <cubikdice> KenSentMe, it DHCPs but default
[09:37] <Healot> dpkg -l *picaso* >> tich?
[09:38] <PORDO> what exactly is the point of esd?  what does it do that i need?
[09:38] <nooseisloose> nedss_: ps fax|grep gdm
[09:38] <cubikdice> PORDO, it's another sound server
[09:38] <KenSentMe> cubikdice: it's already configured as dhcp? Ok, then i don't know what to do next. I haven't tried this config myself, so don't know how to get it to work
[09:38] <PORDO> as opposed to?
[09:39] <PORDO> for instance, if xmms can see my audio card, using alsa, why do i need esd?
[09:39] <nedss_> nooseisloose: oh yeah...gdm is alive and kicking!
[09:39] <PORDO> is the only function of esd just so that more than one program can use the sound device at once?
[09:39] <gatekeeper> dreamcatcher5172: Instructions are here: http://www.sauerbraten.org/docs/config.html I don't think it is source code
[09:39] <dreamcatcher5172> checking it out
[09:39] <cubikdice> PORDO, well say you want to run a game but ALSA is being used..then running the game under esd you can use the sound card at the same time
[09:39] <redblades> Heya! I'm having trouble setting up DDclient with my router!
[09:40] <redblades> Can someone help me?
[09:40] <cubikdice> KenSentMe, is it the bridge connection feature
[09:40] <KenSentMe> cubikdice: i wouldn't know, sorry
[09:40] <cubikdice> alright
[09:40] <PORDO> cubikdice so it's exactly as i put it?  esd just allows more than one thing to use the sound card at once?
[09:40] <dreamcatcher5172> ah ok....thats too bad...i thought it was released for linux as well....sigh
[09:40] <PORDO> and that can't be done by directly accessing the device through alsa?
[09:40] <cubikdice> PORDO, yup ^_^
[09:40] <PORDO> are there "better" solutions than esd?
[09:41] <PORDO> in a review of the nokia 770, the author really spoke negatively of esd.
[09:41] <ale_> !encoding
[09:41] <ubotu> I know nothing about encoding
[09:41] <redblades> My problem is that it seems to be having trouble updating the IP address, perhaps it is returning the wrong address?

[09:45] <ZeZu> enable routing perhaps, can't use ICS unless there is some linux project that supports it
[09:45] <a_l_e> my question of the day: ubuntu defaults to utf8. that's good. but i have to edit a file (html) which, at the end, should be in latin1. has anyone experiences with doing it with vim? vim any other editor?
[09:45] <ZeZu> you'd be better off making the box w/ two NICs the linux box and routing w/ linux to the windows box
[09:45] <TeemuR> hi everybody!
[09:45] <PORDO> I think Breezy uses ALSA and configures dmix, so now everything that can use alsa should work and be able to play simultaneously... including the arts and esd. You may need to reinstall for this to work though, and you may have to install alsa drivers for some programs (like VLC).
[09:46] <OxyWork> anyhere can help me?
[09:46] <DBO> ZeZu, you can share the connection with ICS to a linux box... its standard network protocols...
[09:46] <OxyWork> i got the ubuntu 6.06 live cd with me
[09:46] <ZeZu> is it ?
[09:46] <OxyWork> is there a way to install ubuntu to the hard disk without loading the live cd?
[09:46] <DBO> ZeZu, you just cant use the wizard is all
[09:47] <ZeZu> i have no clue what protocol it used honestly
[09:47] <OxyWork> my computer has only 192 meg ram..t he live cd is way too slow to install
[09:47] <DBO> ZeZu, TCP...
[09:47] <ZeZu> heh
[09:47] <ZeZu> well things run through tcp that much is obvious
[09:47] <ZeZu> but how does it route it?  similar to socks* or something
[09:47] <ZeZu> its not like you can just say ok we'll just use TCP
[09:47] <TeemuR> OxyWork I guess you could download Breezy install it and the upgrade to Dapper
[09:47] <ZeZu> there is a bit more to it than that
[09:47] <DBO> ZeZu, it plays router, just like any other router
[09:48] <DBO> it sets up NAT
[09:48] <DBO> or in linux terms, masquerading
[09:48] <OxyWork> i don't have a cd burner :(
[09:48] <ZeZu> so it just sets it up as a RIP server w/ NAT or something
[09:48] <OxyWork> i only have the ubuntu 6.06 install cd which they mailed to me
[09:48] <OxyWork> any boot options?
[09:48] <DBO> ZeZu, thats the idea
[09:49] <nooseisloose> nedss_: have you seen this thread?  http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=282912
[09:49] <ZeZu> i figured, but you never know w/ m$ it could be encrypted or just use something nonstandard, ie i'm sure its prob not really RIP
[09:49] <DBO> ZeZu, no its not, its about as capable as your average home router minus all the advanced port forwarding options
[09:49] <cntb> system-config-network does not work in my UBUNTU  install. what do I need ?
[09:50] <TeemuR> I really haven't looked at the CD more than installing it from the live cd interface but there probably is an alternative way to installing it because isn't there an option to look at other boot options in the cd
[09:50] <nedss_> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=282912
[09:52] <nooseisloose> nedss_: well that isn't really it either, I think the problem is that vnc is not using gdm, but rather startign another x session

[10:07] <_nano_> Hi I have a few queries regarding partitioning...
[10:07] <redblades> Is there a way to make an install CD from my system (so that it is up to date?)
[10:07] <apokryphos> Darklord: there have been many bad experiences with automatix from users here, we recommend easyubuntu, generally, instead.
[10:08] <redblades> cntb, locate or find
[10:08] <apokryphos> Darklord: http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
[10:08] <cntb> 10x redblades not enough
[10:08] <_nano_> I previously used to dual boot, until this bad thing happened, and I had to delete the whole disk using my ubuntu live to make it operational
[10:08] <_nano_> Now I am running on ubuntu live. I am just about to install the OS, but I have to partition my hardrive from scratch
[10:08] <_nano_> My harddrive is 40GB. Could anyone guide me how I should go about it?
[10:08] <redblades> Hmm?
[10:09] <apokryphos> _nano_: do you wish to use it all for Ubuntu?
[10:09] <redblades> _nano_, the default should be fine
[10:09] <fyrestrtr> _nano_: the installer will do it for you.
[10:09] <_nano_> apokryphos: fully for ubuntu
[10:09] <redblades> Hahahaha
[10:09] <_nano_> fyrestrtr: but the installer allocates 1.6 GB for swap
[10:09] <redblades> _nano_ there is a radio option for it
[10:09] <TeemuR> it can automatically partition it if you use it all for ubuntu
[10:09] <apokryphos> _nano_: what's wrong with that?
[10:10] <_nano_> apokryphos: i have 1GB of RAM...isn't 1.6 GB of swap an overkill?
[10:10] <redblades> and if not, the other option is fairly clear cut too
[10:10] <redblades> yeo
[10:10] <redblades> yep
[10:10] <_nano_> redblades: which other option?
[10:10] <apokryphos> _nano_: totally depends on your usage.
[10:10] <_nano_> apokryphos: usage as in?
[10:10] <redblades> _nano_, it will ask Do you want to use the entire HD?
[10:10] <apokryphos> _nano_: personally I'd have around 1 gig myself
[10:10] <fyrestrtr> as in what you run on the machine.
[10:10] <redblades> the other is "Configure by hand" (or some such option
[10:10] <fyrestrtr> if you do .. say .. rendering -- it will eat up your ram.
[10:10] <apokryphos> but 1.6 would hardly be detrimental, or necessarily an overkill depending on how you run things.
[10:10] <_nano_> redblades: i don't have any other OS to install right now..so I guess....but I would wanna have one experimental partition to try another distros
[10:11] <fyrestrtr> _nano_: how big is your hdd?
[10:11] <_nano_> fyrestrtr: 40Gigs
[10:11] <redblades> _nano_ most distros will detect the ubuntu and shrink it
[10:11] <_nano_> redblades: aah that's nice
[10:11] <redblades> yeah
[10:11] <redblades> not always, but usually
[10:11] <apokryphos> _nano_: what I'd recommend, then, is this: 6/7 gigs for Ubuntu /, 1 gig for swap, 6/7 for another experimental partition, and everything else /home
[10:12] <fyrestrtr> _nano_: leave 10 GB for the other distros, and split the other into /home, / and swap
[10:12] <_nano_> apokryphos: ok...so what about this primary extended thing? :-S
[10:12] <fyrestrtr> _nano_: you can only have 4 primary partitions.
[10:13] <fyrestrtr> so I guess you are okay there ... unless you want to do something like lvm (which you probably don't)
[10:13] <apokryphos> _nano_: I tend to just work around whatever it orders me to do 8)
[10:14] <_nano_> apokryphos: ok...i was just making sure that's all...sorry i'm kind of a paranoid :P
[10:14] <nedss_> how do I enable XDMCP from the command line?
[10:14] <Darklord>  any add on cd released for 6.06 lts?
[10:14] <_nano_> fyrestrtr: i guess i'll just make the first "/" partition as primary and rest as extended
[10:14] <Madpilot> Is there any way to tweak printer head alignments in Ubuntu? My HP Deskjet has gotten the colour & black heads slightly mis-aligned, and I'm not at all sure how to fix it...
[10:17] <cntb> what is the quickest invoke of terminal fronm , say gnome - GUI ?
[10:17] <TeemuR> what would be a good wifi usb stick wich would allow me to create an access point and would work easily with ubuntu?
[10:18] <Healot> GNOME menu -> Application ->  Terminal
[10:18] <Healot> three clicks
[10:18] <Knome> i used to put the terminal on the menu bar
[10:18] <Healot> good idea too
[10:18] <Healot> heh never thought of that
[10:19] <compengi> i want to open ftp but what i get is 421 service not available
[10:19] <fyrestrtr> just assign it a shortcut
[10:19] <fyrestrtr> compengi: do you have a ftp server installed?
[10:20] <tach00> has anyone heard of a bug causing your keyboard to go crazy?
[10:20] <compengi> i don't think so
[10:20] <fyrestrtr> tach00: sure, coke.
[10:20] <compengi> fyrestrtr, where can i get it?
[10:20] <RawSewage_> Whats the top audio editing software for Linux professionals
[10:21] <fyrestrtr> compengi: from the repositories. Just use synaptic, search for ftp, pick the one you like, and install it. If you just want to transfer files, you can use scp (secure copy) from any computer that has a scp client.
[10:21] <tach00> no it is like someone is pushing buttons that i am not pushing, and skipping keysand CAPS allby ts self
[10:22] <fyrestrtr> you mean its displaying characters on the screen when you are not typing, or its not displaying what you are typing (you type a, it shows z for example) -- or you hit the keys, and there is a delay, and then it displays?
[10:23] <tach00> keyboard is set up right but something isnt jiving right

[10:25] <Healot> you can use lynx for web browsing in terminal, F0LL0W3R
[10:25] <void^> or links :)

[10:34] <apokryphos> George7: as for compiling, please read the FAQ
[10:34] <George7> apokryphos r u greek btw?:P
[10:34] <apokryphos> yes :)
[10:34] <zdux0012> where can I look to map keys in gnome?
[10:34] <George7> ela re patrida:P
[10:34] <George7> LooooooooooooooooL
[10:35] <KenSentMe> compengi: but is the server you want to connect to on your own system or is it somewhere else?
[10:35] <George7> apokryphos can u help me with that prob?:P
[10:35] <apokryphos> George7: sure, check the compiling section on the FAQ.
[10:35] <alinushak> hi al
[10:35] <compengi> somewhere else
[10:35] <George7> at the site of kv?
[10:35] <d2nds> anyone get WPA to work with a Prism card?
[10:35] <alinushak> i have a problem
[10:35] <apokryphos> George7: nope, the Ubuntu one (it's the topic). Or just see here:
[10:35] <apokryphos> !faq
[10:35] <zdux0012> found it,,
[10:35] <alinushak> my sistem is crawling
[10:35] <ubotu> faq is http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions Official documentation is at http://help.ubuntu.com IRC FAQ: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRCResourcePage
[10:35] <KenSentMe> compengi: then there may be a problem with the ftp server and not with your system
[10:36] <vvlaw> KenSentMe,thanks :)
[10:36] <George7> i'll check it and come back apokryphos
[10:36] <apokryphos> k
[10:36] <compengi> so i don't need any plugin to open ftp right KenSentMe
[10:36] <apokryphos> George7: as it notes there, you shouldn't compile unless you're convinced it's totally necessary. Why compile kvirc?
[10:37] <George7> cause i hate xchat LooooooooooooooooL
[10:37] <George7> i cannot find any scripts to work with
[10:37] <KenSentMe> no, nautilus (the file browser) can handle fpt servers by itself. You way want to install gftp, that's another ftp client, to try if it works there.
[10:37] <apokryphos> George7: kvirc is in the repositories
[10:37] <George7> i should try synaptic?
[10:37] <alinushak> can someone help me?

[10:40] <apokryphos> George7: what version of kvirc do you have?
[10:40] <George7> well i just decided to use
[10:40] <EdLin> fdsd: man find
[10:40] <George7> i havent installed it ever i just have the tar.gz file
[10:40] <fdsd> EdLin, come on man, I just got my whole / messed up, I need your help
[10:40] <apokryphos> George7: follow the instructions for adding more repositories, then install from the Ubuntu repositories.
[10:41] <apokryphos> George7: it's in Universe, and it contains the latest stable.
[10:41] <George7> ok let's see what i will make out
[10:41] <EdLin> fdsd: the manpage should help, you need to use find to find atime
[10:41] <gremid> hi, is it possible to change gnome's behaviour, so i can cycle through the windows of all workspaces via alt-tab?
[10:41] <fdsd> EdLin, im not able to look it up right now
[10:41] <gdb> (mtime)
[10:41] <Subhuman> gremid, that IS the default behavior...
[10:41] <alinushak> i m begining to think Win is better
[10:41] <EdLin> fdsd: then look it up online, manpages can be looked up on the web
[10:42] <gdb> Actually, it's mmin.
[10:42] <myahya_> hi, I am new here, I need help on devekoping gnome apps in ubuntu

[10:43] <fdsd> hey guys, How do I do a search for every file in / that has changed in the last 20 min?
[10:43] <Healot> myahya_: compiling existing source or building one yourself
[10:44] <EdLin> myahya_: you might want to install gnome-core-devel and pursue the documentation on gnome.org (I know the documentation isn't good, one of the drawbacks of GNOME development)
[10:44] <KenSentMe> fdsd: try find / -mmin -20 or something
[10:44] <myahya_> I am building myself. i installed all packages but when comiling under gcc header files are not found
[10:44] <gremid> Subhuman, it does not work this way on my installation (ubuntu 6.06). do you know, where i can configure this behaviour?
[10:44] <George7> apokryphos i unistalled it from synaptic and installing it again.that will probably work huh?:p
[10:44] <EdLin> myahya_: gnome-core-devel will install most of the -dev files you need
[10:44] <nauj27> hi
[10:44] <EdLin> myahya_: if it doesn't, there's always gnome-devel
[10:45] <apokryphos> George7: I thought you said it wasn't installed?
[10:45] <myahya_> it is already installed but it is not working
[10:45] <Subhuman> gremid, yes system/preferences/keyboard shortcuts and itz in that list
[10:45] <George7> well i hadn't installed it but i found sth in synaptic
[10:45] <apokryphos> George7: sorry?
[10:45] <Subhuman> myahya_, have you got the "build-essential" package??

[10:57] <alinushak> now
[10:57] <alinushak> i've started dc+
[10:57] <KenSentMe> How can i add todays date to a the filename of a tar file?
[10:57] <Knome> myahya_ 'gnome.h' isn't a standard C library.
[10:57] <alinushak> and its running in the background
[10:57] <alinushak> i cant see it
[10:57] <myahya_> but I installed all gnome development packages
[10:59] <Knome> here are the standard C libraries: stdio.h, ctype.h, string.h, math.h, stdlib.h, assert.h, stdarg.h, setjmp.h, signal.h, time.h, limits.h and float.h
[11:00] <a_l_e> any ubuntu-ppc users around?
[11:00] <myahya_> I realize that. But even after installing the gnome development packages, the gnome header file cannot be found. should I pass any arguments to gcc when compiling
[11:01] <Subhuman> myahya_, do you have the gtk devel packageS?
[11:02] <myahya_> I got libgtk2.0-dev
[11:03] <myahya_> I also installed libgnome-dev which is supposed to install all libraries for me
[11:04] <RememberPOL> Hey, would anyone happen to know if it's possible to use the NVIDIA released xorg video driver ("nvidia") instead of the somewhat inferior reverse-engineered free driver ("nv") on Ubuntu "Dapper Drake" v6.06 LTS?  (And also how to add support for "1280x768" screen resolution [I tried adding the entry to xorg.conf and restarting X, with still only the original three available in Screen Resolution Preferences] ?)
[11:04] <d2nds> Im trying to install the hostap drivers over the default orinoco drivers for my prism wifi card.  any suggestions?  i have blacklisted the orinoco drivers and it appears as if the gnome notworkmanager sees networks using the hostap driver, but no wpa option
[11:05] <Subhuman> RememberPOL, yes it is
[11:05] <RememberPOL> d2nds: Try using WEP instead of WPA..
[11:05] <RememberPOL> Subhuman, any suggestions?
[11:05] <Subhuman> RememberPOL,  "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glrx" by memory
[11:05] <d2nds> RememberPOL: not an option, router owner is paranoiod
[11:05] <Subhuman> and then to get the right resolutions, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[11:05] <a_l_e> i'm trying to install the java plugin in firefox and the result is firefox crashing when loading about:plugins and many other pages (probably as soon some java is in there :-(
[11:06] <myahya_> Subhuman/Knome??
[11:06] <ccooke> !nvidia > RememberPOL
[11:06] <Tom06> i have a little problem , i use kaffeine in Ubuntu(gnome) for watching DVB i get video but not audio Please Help.
[11:06] <RememberPOL> d2nds: Will he allow WEP if you tell him your client doesn't currently support WEP? heh.
[11:06] <ccooke> RememberPOL: you should have a messge with details now
[11:06] <RememberPOL> Thank you Subhuman.
[11:06] <RememberPOL> and ccooke
[11:06] <Knome> to specify a non-standard library location myahya_ use the -L {DIRNAME} or -I {DIRNAME}
[11:06] <RememberPOL> this was my problem fyi
[11:07] <Tom06> well?
[11:07] <myahya_> Knome, I can't find gnome.h using locate
[11:07] <d2nds> remember: nope, a buddy cracked wep in front of him and now he is scared, pays for access and its his router, cant argue
[11:07] <ccooke> Tom06: Does audio work in other things?
[11:08] <EdLin> Tom06: maybe kaffeine, a KDE application, is trying to use aRTs. If possible, reconfigure it to use esd or alsa or OSS.
[11:08] <RememberPOL> i would download the shell script directly from nvidia.org (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1.run) and when finally successfully killing X (it can be hard to figure out how to do that without it auto-restarting).. and running it as root... it complains about not being able to find `ld` (although i think 6.06 uses ldd instead)..
[11:08] <RememberPOL> thanks again
[11:08] <Tom06> sound works otherwise
[11:08] <Tom06> just not in kaffeine
[11:08] <ccooke> RememberPOL: The binary drivers are already included in Ubuntu
[11:09] <Hawkins> Good day everone!
[11:09] <Tom06> i tried setting it to use esd alsa or OSS to no avail...
[11:09] <g-nome> hello, can i add these amarok repos (http://kubuntu.org/announcements/amarok-1.4.php, for kubuntu) in UBUNTU (gnome)?
[11:09] <ccooke> RememberPOL: also, ld and ldd are very different things. ld is the linker, used to link a set of object files together into an executable or library. ldd lists the libraries a library or executable contains references to
[11:09] <Flannel> g-nome: kubuntu and ubuntu have the same repositories
[11:09] <g-nome> ok thanks
[11:09] <alinushak> synaptic cant find dcpp
[11:09] <alinushak> i'm trying to unninstall
[11:10] <Tom06> any sugestions possibly any codecs to install?
[11:10] <RememberPOL> I see that they're already included but why did my system auto-configure to use the "nv" driver when "nvidia-glx" is more suitable for my NVIDIA Geforce Go 7800 GTX?
[11:10] <cast> Tom06: the full mplayer pkg :)

[11:11] <Tom06> mplayer wont work for me I need Kaffeine for DVB-T
[11:11] <ccooke> RememberPOL: There are issues with automatically enabling binary drivers
[11:11] <RememberPOL> I'm not arguing because you helped me and I probably should have been able to figure this out on my own.  I just want Ubuntu to be the best it can be! ;x
[11:11] <cast> Tom06: [i don't know what you are trying to do, or whether installing mplayers codec pkg is legal in your country] 
[11:11] <alinushak> Tom06
[11:11] <ccooke> RememberPOL: both practical and idealistic
[11:11] <d2nds> can anyone give suggestions on determining which wifi driver is loaded
[11:12] <GNAM> GTK 2.10.0 OUT!
[11:12] <RememberPOL> 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0099 (rev a1)
[11:12] <RememberPOL> Heh.
[11:12] <ccooke> RememberPOL: Most important, though, is the fact that the binary drivers - although their installation is now very smooth and easy - do *not* work without (in rare cases very difficult) intervention
[11:12] <Tom06> is there anyone that can give me some proper help?
[11:12] <ccooke> RememberPOL: Also, they don't support every nvidia card properly and they may break other things
[11:12] <alinushak> sudo reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:13] <RememberPOL> That's okay, I maintain a Slackware system and I've manually installed these types of xfree86/xorg drivers in the past..
[11:13] <myahya_> Please do not ignore
[11:13] <ccooke> RememberPOL: (as a random example, getting suspend/hibernation to work correctly with the Nvidia drivers was until very recently either impossible or arcane.
[11:13] <RememberPOL> I just hope this souped up laptop card is supported.
[11:13] <ccooke> RememberPOL: It is.
[11:14] <Tom06> EdLin: Sound works otherwise
[11:14] <ccooke> RememberPOL: I almost bought a laptop with one in last month, so I checked it out
[11:14] <RememberPOL> It was the latest in 2005. ;) I think they have 7900 available on the laptop now.
[11:14] <RememberPOL> hehe
[11:14] <RememberPOL> Sager NP5720
[11:15] <EdLin> Tom06: that's precisely why I think its a sound daemon issue
[11:15] <RememberPOL> Next thing I'm looking for is better HDA Intel sound support. hehe
[11:15] <RememberPOL> thanks again i'm off to config my system
[11:15] <Tom06> EdLin: Please elaborate , sound works in XMMS and Totem(gstreamer)
[11:16] <ccooke> RememberPOL: better?
[11:16] <EdLin> Tom06: I've already told you it, scroll back and read what I said.
[11:16] <ccooke> RememberPOL: the Intel HDA stuff has been a real bugger in Dapper, yeah. 2.6.15-25 has fixd it for me, though
[11:16] <Tom06> EdLin: And what should I do???
[11:17] <EdLin> Tom06: I've never used Kaffeine, so all I can tell you is to search for the options for it not to use the aRTS KDE daemon.
[11:17] <myahya_> I am trying to develop gnome applications. I installed all needed packages. when compiling using gcc it says gnome.h is not found. I used locate to find gnome.h but this returns no results
[11:17] <ccooke> myahya_: what do you mean by "all needed packages", then?
[11:17] <RememberPOL> ccooke: I think it's just that realtek is junky and they obscured the original intel hardware so much but alsa 1.0.11 supports it
[11:17] <bachstudies> has anyone had any trouble with sound in wengophone or tapioca? Skype seems to work fine but these two programs have very very broken up sound to the extent that the other person cannot understand me.
[11:18] <RememberPOL> 6.06 comes with (1.0.10-4ubuntu)
[11:18] <myahya_> any package that has the words gnome or gtk along with dev
[11:18] <heatxsink> are there any debs for freevo to work on dapper?
[11:18] <heatxsink> not just breezy?
[11:18] <alinushak> the remove command to remove a Folder is ?
[11:18] <Tom06> EdLin: Thanks , but that still doest solve my problem , I've tried everything up to 3oclock this morning and still no go , I've even istalled arts
[11:19] <EdLin> Tom06: I've never used Kaffeine, so the best I can do is give my best guess.
[11:19] <Tom06> EdLin: Thanks Anyway
[11:19] <EdLin> yw
[11:19] <Tom06> ccooke: Sound works in other apps
[11:20] <ccooke> Tom06: does it work in a different media player?
[11:20] <alinushak> rm: cannot remove `/opt/linuxdcpp': Is a directory
[11:21] <alinushak> what can i do?
[11:21] <Tom06> ccooke: Yes
[11:21] <Hawkins> Has anyone here Logitech MX1000 with all the buttons working ?
[11:21] <vick> Helo.
[11:21] <ccooke> Tom06: you've installed kaffeine as per the defaults? not changed anything?
[11:22] <vick> How do i install manpages ?
[11:22] <EdLin> alinushak: rm with the dreaded -r flag. :-)
[11:22] <Tom06> ccooke: Yes , (using it on gnome)
[11:22] <ccooke> kaffeine is supposed to use Xine as the default engine. So, does sound work with Xine?
[11:22] <alinushak> thanks Edlin
[11:23] <Tom06> ccooke:No sound in XIne either
[11:23] <EdLin> vick: apt-get install manpages and manpages-dev
[11:23] <ccooke> myahya_: IIRC, gnome.h is in libgnomeui.
[11:23] <alinushak> its gone:)
[11:23] <alinushak> wine irc channnel?
[11:23] <ccooke> myahya_: a trick that may work for you is to find a package similar to the one you want to build, then use "sudo apt-get build-dep packagename"
[11:24] <onispawn> Hawkins: have you read the wiki page about getting your mouse to work fully?
[11:24] <ccooke> myahya_: which will pull in everything needed to build that package
[11:24] <xtj> hello
[11:24] <ccooke> Tom06: then you have missing codecs in Xine. Try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[11:24] <myahya_> ccooke: the libgnomeui-dev package is already installed
[11:25] <Hawkins> onispawn, I did everything just like the page said, but X wouldn't start
[11:25] <ccooke> myahya_: sudo updatedb ; locate gnome.h
[11:26] <onispawn> Hawkins: check the .xsession_errors file in your home directory. It will tell you whats wrong. most likely its just a typo
[11:26] <Tom06> ccooke: Thanks I will give it a go
[11:27] <Teddy> how can i change boot loader options ??
[11:27] <ccooke> myahya_: Okay. Here's all the packages in dapper that give you gnome.h:
[11:27] <myahya_> ccooke, locate was able to find the gnome.h in a few places. but compilation with gcc still does not work. is #include <gnom.h> correct?
[11:27] <ccooke> myahya_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=gnome.h&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=dapper&arch=i386
[11:28] <ccooke> no, it should be <gnome.h>
[11:28] <jpgvietnam> hi
[11:28] <ccooke> or possibly (looking at results) <libgnomeui-2.0/gnome.h>
[11:28] <EdLin> Teddy: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:28] <myahya_> yes, i am using a new keyboard. I have it gnome.h!!!
[11:28] <Teddy> tnx
[11:29] <ccooke> myahya_: sorted?
[11:29] <Hawkins> onispawn, can't find the error file, in my home folder there is only Desktop and Examples folders, nothing else
[11:30] <onispawn> Hawkins: are you using natuilis to look for it?
[11:30] <myahya_> no, I typed gnome.h in the source code. I made the mistake gnom.h only in the irc msg
[11:31] <Majid> pakistan
[11:31] <ccooke> myahya_: well, you know you have gnome.h now
[11:31] <ccooke> myahya_: try including it with <libgnomeui-2.0/gnome.h>
[11:31] <Majid> hello everybody
[11:31] <ccooke> myahya_: better yet, check google for help on building gnome applications
[11:31] <Majid> anybody tell me how to use MSN messenger in ubuntu
[11:31] <Majid> ?
[11:32] <myahya_> now it gives me that file gtk/gtk.h is not found
[11:32] <Hawkins> onispawn, yes, search came up with nothing
[11:32] <myahya_> i tried google on building gnome apps in ubuntu but got nothing
[11:32] <jpgvietnam> you can use gaim messeger
[11:32] <Majid> i have no id for this?
[11:33] <onispawn> Hawkins: go to your home directory, and press (CTRL-H) that will make nautilus show you the hidden files
[11:34] <myahya_> ccook: Thank you very much for your help!
[11:34] <ccooke> myahya_: no problem. Try googling on just building gnome apps
[11:34] <myahya_> ccooke, great. thanks. bye
[11:35] <Hawkins> onispawn, ah, thanks now I've got errorlog open. I didn't know about this command as I'm a total newbie here : /
[11:35] <ideogram> anyone here have experience setting up a dual monitor nVidia card in ubuntu?
[11:36] <Hawkins> onispawn, There's only alsalib errors because I have X-Fi which isn't supported, no other errors
[11:38] <mziel> hello! anyone with  Option GT Combo Edge card here? it says ERROR on most commands (ie. atz, at+cpin)
[11:38] <ardy> help how to configure 2 NIC ?
[11:39] <Teddy> my current refresh rate is 	VertRefresh	43-60   but i want to make it 80 ,  what numbers to write , 	VertRefresh	60-80 ?
[11:40] <onispawn> Hawkins: can you put your xorg.conf into the pastebin so I can look at it?
[11:41] <Subhuman> Teddy, no, the numbers do not correlate like hta,t find your actual monitors spec. and look there.
[11:42] <Teddy> that's from xorg.conf from Section "Monitor"
[11:43] <andyjeffries> Where's the Ubuntu recommended place to put system initialisation scripts (without writing a whole init script)?  In Gentoo you put commands in /etc/conf.d/local.start and /etc/conf.d/local.stop and a pre-written init script executed them.  Anything like that in Ubuntu?
[11:44] <stefg> !init
[11:44] <ubotu> Boot options: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootOptions To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a bootfloppy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmartBootManagerHowto
[11:46] <knoppix> Who wants to help me?
[11:46] <knoppix> Please?
[11:47] <knoppix> Ubuntu has just completely died on me, im using knoppix right now
[11:47] <knoppix> I tried to install MINIX and I think I fucked up one of the Ubuntu Partitions
[11:48] <Hawkins> onispawn, Can't get pastebin working, it just says "Waiting for pastebin.com..." on FF statusbar :(
[11:48] <knoppix>  this is gay
[11:48] <CoRe_fts> ciao
[11:49] <stefg> knoppix: paste a fdisk -l to pastebin
[11:49] <ideogram> wow that was the easiest linux install ever -- ubuntu is great!
[11:49] <cast> LOL.
[11:49] <imarung> hi.. i am trying to install yahoo messenger on ubuntu.. i got this message http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17076.. i couldnt find the missing packages in synaptic thou.. any ideas.. ps i want ym bcos i want to use file transfer to another ym
[11:49] <cast> ideogram: :)
[11:50] <ideogram> is it going to be hard to install nVidia drivers so I can use my dual monitors?
[11:50] <rsk> jup
[11:50] <andyjeffries> stefg: Thanks for that, another question - if I want my user to be able to go to SU using sudo but without entering a password, what's the format?  I tried this:   andy ALL=PASSWORD:(ALL) ALL
[11:51] <stefg> don't do that
[11:51] <ideogram> it's too bad I'm spending all this time updating GNOME when I plan on turning it all off anyway
[11:51] <ideogram> i hate desktops
[11:51] <stefg> And don't announce this plublicly :-)
[11:51] <ideogram> i just want to use pure X
[11:51] <andyjeffries> stefg: Why?  Except for local vunerabilities, what's the issue?  I'm a home user and behind a firewall...
[11:51] <ideogram> does Ubuntu provide sawfish?
[11:51] <stefg> andyjeffries: you are windows'ing your system
[11:52] <stefg> !chat as root
[11:52] <ubotu> I know nothing about chat as root
[11:52] <andyjeffries> stefg: I was doing that I'd just change Root's password and login/run everything as root.  It's still taking the extra step of typing sudo at the start of commands I wish to run as root (thereby making the conscious decision)
[11:52] <Eazy-> hehe... windows'ing
[11:52] <pvd2006> I am not able to unmount a sharefolder from ubuntu. I tried sudo umount //servername/sharedirname but it says Device or resource busy
[11:53] <Eazy-> thats bad :)
[11:53] <stefg> !root
[11:53] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:54] <andyjeffries> stefg: Now I'm lost, that page seemed to give me lots of information on how to get a traditional root login back, but not really any explanation on why changing sudo to allow privileges without a password for my username.
[11:55] <andyjeffries> stefg: And, man, do you have a lot of those !commands to hand ;-)
[11:56] <Eazy-> !whatsfordinner
[11:56] <ubotu> I know nothing about whatsfordinner
[11:56] <Eazy-> :P
[11:56] <stefg> Sorry, but i was never interested in doing things like that, so i can't help. The Live CD uses such a mechanism for granting root-access, but i havn't investigated
[11:57] <dedy> hii all.....
[11:57] <andyjeffries> stefg: OK thanks mate, I'll do a hit-and-miss approach and hopefully figure it....  Thanks for your help with the rc.local thing too.
[11:58] <dcnstrct> I have to admit people, I'm pretty damn impressed with ubuntu. The install process is so smooth and pretty, and it worked with most of my hardware right off the bat.
[11:58] <dcnstrct> the only major turnoff is the webpage design on ubuntu.com
[11:58] <dcnstrct> ;)
[11:58] <stefg> hehe
[11:59] <spikeb> really? i find the site itself much better than the install artwork
[11:59] <tortoise_> Does anyone know anyting about packaging python c extensions?
[11:59] <stefg> some people might call it poo-buntu
[11:59] <dcnstrct> I like the site design except the one pic of the people holding hands
[11:59] <dcnstrct> I've been using unix for a while but I never had to hold anyones hand
[11:59] <stefg> But that's the key element...
[12:00] <dcnstrct> whats the message ? "we'll hold your hand ?"
[12:00] <Eazy-> the webpage design goes hand in hand with how gnome looks ;)
[12:00] <stefg> Contrary to popular belief 'ubuntu' doesn't mean 'I can't install debian' but 'humanity to others'
[12:01] <spikeb> haha stefg
[12:01] <dantje> hehe
[12:01] <Madpilot> stefg, I thought it meant "Compiling Gentoo is boring" or something like that :)
[12:02] <dcnstrct> if I knew I was taking a picture to be on a linux distro website today then I definatly wouldn't wear a pink shirt
[12:02] <dcnstrct> and purple pants
[12:02] <dcnstrct> I hope thats photoshopped
[12:02] <dcnstrct> =D
[12:03] <auge02> i'm search a ubuntu mirro on german, can you help me
[12:03] <redblades> Uhh... Hi, I was wondering, is there a way to get windows fonts for Linux?
[12:03] <spikeb> yes
[12:03] <redblades> auge02, I think you just replace au or no or whatever with de
[12:03] <redblades> spikeb, how?
[12:03] <spikeb> let me see
[12:03] <Madpilot> redblades, do you mean regular TTF files, or the actcual fonts MS uses?
[12:03] <dcnstrct> redblades, windows uses "true type fonts"
[12:04] <Madpilot> actual
[12:04] <Madpilot> !fonts
[12:04] <ubotu> Installing fonts: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in flash? Install msttcorefonts, gsfonts, gsfonts-x11 - Microsoft fonts: install the msttcorefonts package
[12:04] <redblades> I mean like arial and those things
[12:04] <foolip> hi. how can I test if I have superuser privileges in a bash script? tested UID=0 doesn't work in ubuntu since there is no root (I think)
[12:04] <dcnstrct> wingdings
[12:04] <Madpilot> redblades, see the bot's post above
[12:04] <Jbirdie> where do i key in the wan addy of my router (the 192.168.x.x addy)
[12:08] <Jbirdie> hello??? am i here
[12:08] <Eazy-> no
[12:08] <Eazy-> ;)
[12:09] <Jbirdie> cool
[12:09] <Eazy-> you are there :)
[12:10] <locomorto> Jbirdie: click on the pictue of two screens/one screen in the top right hand corner of the screen
[12:10] <locomorto> click properties
[12:11] <locomorto> open up a terminal, and type iwconfig
[12:12] <Jbirdie> ok,tkz
[12:12] <locomorto> then look for the line/s that do not look like this: "eth0      no wireless extensions."
[12:12] <locomorto> type that into the Name: field in the Connection properties window
[12:12] <locomorto> go configure, and it should be self explanitory from then on
[12:14] <Jbirdie> ok, i am in windows now cause i had to forward some ports and couldnt find it , so i'll reboot and have a look, aloha
[12:15] <bill[1] > is there a way to have apt get the source for an installed program?
[12:15] <cast> you bet!
[12:15] <cast> apt-get help
[12:15] <locomorto> lol
[12:16] <bill[1] > lol
[12:16] <locomorto> Actually I think its along the lines of apt-get source <package>
[12:16] <zOap> lollers !!
[12:16] <zOap> :)
[12:16] <bill[1] > yeah it didn't like that.  trying to get binutils it says permission denied.
[12:17] <ruxpin_> I've got all ntp stuff installed, what's the command to start up the ntp client? /etc/init.d/ntp-server is the only item I have
[12:17] <locomorto> bill[1] , try it from ~
[12:17] <locomorto> you might not have write permissions in the directory your in
[12:17] <ruxpin_> and the clock settings regarding ntp won't work, says server unreachable (I've got the right server set in /etc/ntp.conf)
[12:17] <ruxpin_> and it responds to pink
[12:17] <ruxpin_> ping
[12:18] <locomorto> ruxpin, I've never been able to get that to work myself :(
[12:18] <bill[1] > locomotro: its tring to fetch it from the security src repository, and it says I don't have permissions on the http server.
[12:20] <locomorto> :/
[12:20] <redblades> hi, I'm looking for a way to generate a songlists that has the title of the song, the artist, and the time of the song
[12:20] <locomorto> works here, whats the exact url?
[12:20] <redblades> I'm going round in circles with this
[12:20] <Gorlist> morning
[12:21] <locomorto> btw, you can always navigate manually I believe
[12:21] <philipsmith> I want to turn that drone noise off when ubuntu boots up. How do I do it?
[12:22] <bill[1] > locomorto: nevermind, fixed it.  Thanks.
[12:23] <locomorto> philipsmith, System -> Prefrences -> Sound
[12:23] <redblades> If anyone can help with this, it would be greatly appreciated.
[12:23] <locomorto> redblades, whoami
[12:24] <philipsmith> locomorto: Thanks!
[12:24] <redblades> locomorto
[12:24] <locomorto> redblades, exec that command ;)
[12:24] <redblades> I did
[12:24] <redblades> I am redblades
[12:24] <locomorto> now try, sudo whoami
[12:26] <redblades> locomorto, where are you going with this?
[12:27] <locomorto> *hits head*
[12:27] <locomorto> sorry, wrong guy
[12:27] <locomorto> sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[12:27] <erUSUL> redblades: i do not know much perl but you can try man MP3::Info
[12:27] <redblades> Okay, you're being very vague and annoying
[12:28] <redblades> I've done that locomorto, right guy, wrong problem
[12:28] <locomorto> I think I'll just go away now
[12:28] <redblades> I thought so....
[12:28] <redblades> no matter
[12:33] <Ng> redblades: there are probably an almost limitless number of ways to do what you want, from a bash script using an id3 tag dumper to perl, to transforming the xml database of something like rhythmbox. this isn't the best place to ask though really
[12:33] <karthik> how do i open .exe files in linux.plz help me?
[12:33] <redblades> karthik, don't
[12:33] <redblades> or, WINE\
[12:33] <redblades> Wine
[12:33] <Ng> karthik: WINE can run some windows programs
[12:33] <Lynoure> karthik: or wmware
[12:34] <redblades> karthik what do you need to open?
[12:34] <pinang> hello..................
[12:34] <apokryphos> hi
[12:34] <redblades> HI
[12:35] <karthik> i juz downloaded install.exe i am unable to open it
[12:35] <Ng> karthik: what are you trying to install?
[12:35] <pinang> asl pls
[12:35] <apokryphos> karthik: Linux does not use EXEs for installation
[12:35] <pinang> hi
[12:35] <karthik> then what does it use?
[12:35] <Ng> pinang: you are probably in the wrong place
[12:35] <apokryphos> pinang: this is the Ubuntu support channel, if you have a question, go right ahead and ask :)
[12:36] <Ng> karthik: ubuntu installs software with .deb files
[12:36] <apokryphos> karthik: it's a very different system. For Linux distributions like Ubuntu, since the majority of software used on it is free and open source, it can easily all be stored in "repositories"
[12:36] <apokryphos> karthik: these repositories are particular locations on the web with a whole horde of applications and programs. You can use Synaptic to easily and directly install packages from these repositories
[12:36] <apokryphos> !synaptic
[12:36] <ubotu> synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto
[12:37] <apokryphos> karthik: see that page for more information and instructions on how to use it.
[12:38] <ideogram> hmmm ubuntu clutters up my GRUB menu -- now I have to edit it
[12:38] <Ng> ideogram: clutters with what?
[12:38] <apokryphos> it does?
[12:38] <zzyber> HI, im suffering a disk crach and im thinking of switching back to ubuntu after this terrible time of xp, i have only one problem and maybe you have a solution for me. Its a software called trademanager from alibaba, its a chat client witsh need internet fucking explorer to work
[12:38] <jpgvietnam> how to play dvd on linux ?
[12:38] <jpgvietnam> help me
[12:38] <ideogram> i just updated and the old kernel is still in the grub menu -- plus there are two "safe mode" entries, the memtest entry, and the heading "other OS's"
[12:38] <apokryphos> jpgvietnam: check the FAQ
[12:39] <ideogram> I only need two entries, Ubuntu and Windows XP
[12:39] <apokryphos> zzyber: language please ;-). However: are you sure it doesn't work in any other browsers?
[12:39] <Ng> ideogram: you can remove old kernels with synaptic or apt-get
[12:39] <apokryphos> zzyber: sometimes you can evade such problems by simply identifying your browser as Internet Explorer.
[12:39] <Ng> ideogram: the rescue mode ones may well be worth hanging on to
[12:39] <redblades> ideogram, just comment them out
[12:40] <stefg> zzyber: check if you can run it with wine. And if you machine is powerful enough you still can use vmplayer to run an 'embedded' windows just for this from ubuntu
[12:40] <zzyber> apokryphosi i have tried several things but nothing seems to work
[12:40] <apokryphos> zzyber: did you try *that*, though?
[12:40] <mwe> but you don't need recue mode for several kernels
[12:40] <zzyber> stefg vmplayer...............thats new
[12:40] <apokryphos> zzyber: it's a bit of overkill if it's just a page that wants IE.
[12:41] <jpgvietnam> where ?
[12:41] <apokryphos> (if there's other solutions)
[12:41] <zzyber> apokryphos   hmm, is it possible to turn firefox into internet explorer to fool the application
[12:41] <ideogram> I can always boot from the CD can't I?
[12:41] <apokryphos> jpgvietnam: check in the channel topic
[12:41] <zzyber> www.alibaba.com
[12:42] <apokryphos> zzyber: I'm quite sure you can, yes; one second.
[12:42] <mwe> ies4linux makes it very easy to install IE in wine
[12:43] <Ng> mwe: what's hard about wine ie6setup.exe? ;)
[12:44] <apokryphos> that sucks, firefox doesn't have browser identification switch by default
[12:44] <apokryphos> zzyber: you can either use opera or grab the user agent firefox extension to do it
[12:44] <Ng> apokryphos: there are extensions
[12:44] <zzyber> apokryphos yes i didnt find it either
[12:44] <apokryphos> yup
[12:44] <Ng> or you can edit the string it sends in about:config
[12:45] <apokryphos> I guess the user agent extension should be nice enough; gonna try it out now.
[12:45] <anarchtic> i need help :(
[12:45] <[lallous] > https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1419/
[12:45] <apokryphos> !helpme
[12:45] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:45] <[lallous] > https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1429/
[12:45] <mwe> Ng: that it doesn't work properly like that. at least it didn't for me
[12:46] <mwe> Ng: it needs some other things installed as well
[12:46] <ideogram> how do I get Ubuntu to use my nVidia dual monitor configuration?
[12:46] <anarchtic> i dont have full access to my filesystem
[12:46] <Ng> mwe: that's true actually, it needs dcom
[12:46] <mwe> Ng: if it was always that easy nobody would bother a project like ies4linux
[12:46] <Ng> ideogram: is it two monitors connected to a single nvidia card?
[12:46] <ideogram> yes
[12:47] <zzyber> guys, i will give ubuntu one more try and i hope its possible to get it working now, you know i have been a slave to debian since version 1.2.........was it potato, no it was called slink i belive, anyway i think ubuntu is the best port yet for debian and this dist can be very big
[12:47] <Ng> ideogram: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo may be helpful. you should probably also read the nvidia driver README, it has a very good section on twinview
[12:47] <ideogram> yes I used twinview with Gentoo, didn't bother with Xinerama
[12:48] <anarchtic> i dont have full access to me ubuntu
[12:48] <ideogram> I should look for the nvidia driver README on nvidia's website, yes?
[12:48] <Ng> ideogram: the nvidia section of that page is actually about twinview and not xinerama
[12:48] <ideogram> oh ok
[12:48] <ideogram> that's cool
[12:48] <jamesstansell> apokryphos: I've used the user-agent extension with good results in the past
[12:48] <Ng> I just chucked it up there since it might be helpful for people ;)
[12:48] <apokryphos> zzyber: are you on windoze now?
[12:48] <dstan> um hi
[12:48] <dstan> can anyone help me with installing a dual monitor thingy on a powermac g4?
[12:48] <mwe> Ng: then there is all the dlloverrides that are needed to make ie run smoothly in wine
[12:49] <mwe> and that's quite a few
[12:49] <mwe> 50 or so
[12:49] <apokryphos> jamesstansell: cool, thanks.
[12:49] <zzyber> apokryphos<< yes im on windows now and actually i hate it and i feel like i never used a computer before,
[12:49] <Ng> mwe: oh well. I just use crossover ;)
[12:49] <apokryphos> zzyber: try to see if it'd work now, then.
[12:49] <anarchtic> y doesnt my user account have full access to filesystem directory
[12:50] <apokryphos> zzyber: either grab the firefox extension ( addons.mozilla.org/firefox/59/ - or perhaps jamesstansell can recommend one), or try with opera
[12:50] <mwe> good for you. I don't wanna buy that just for using ie when I can just dl ies4linux
[12:50] <apokryphos> anarchtic: like what?
[12:50] <zzyber> apokryphos<< actually i swithched to windows because i dindt have the time to hack all problems with compabillity issues with unbuntu, all software is written for ie and xp and that sucks
[12:51] <apokryphos> depends entirely on what you use, or expect to use
[12:51] <anarchtic> like to put stuff in the folder opt
[12:51] <Ng> mwe: good for you. i don't want to  use ie, so the less time/effort involved, the better, plus I can use all their stupid web plugins ;)
[12:51] <apokryphos> anarchtic: you of course won't have write-access there, as user.
[12:51] <apokryphos> but I'm reasonably certain you have read privs
[12:51] <anarchtic> well to install a program i got  the instructions say to put the directory in there
[12:51] <apokryphos> Ng: you don't want to use IE!! What!
[12:51] <apokryphos> =)
[12:51] <mwe> I don't _want_ to use IE either. I have to for my web bank
[12:52] <Ng> mwe: get a better bank ;)
[12:52] <zzyber> so what do you guys think about this new version of ubuntu 6.06, is it better, more stable (can it be more stable?) faster, better graphics??
[12:52] <monomaniacpat> can anyone tell me why xorg would have loaded the wrong resolutions this morning?
[12:52] <mwe> the bank is good. just not their web bank
[12:52] <Lynoure> mwe: In Finland banks have pretty much moved from IE already ages ago... but this is the home of Linux :)
[12:52] <mwe> I'm not gonna switch bank because of that
[12:53] <anarchtic> what should i do
[12:53] <apokryphos> mwe: they *only* support IE?
[12:53] <Lynoure> mwe: But you can let them know you'd want them to support some other browsers too.
[12:53] <apokryphos> anarchtic: what do you want to do?
[12:53] <mwe> apokryphos: right
[12:53] <jamesstansell> mwe: when you try firefox with your web bank pages, what sort of errors are there?
[12:53] <apokryphos> mwe: file a complaint 8)
[12:53] <anarchtic> install xampp
[12:53] <mwe> apokryphos: yeah
[12:53] <mwe> apokryphos: it's annoying
[12:53] <apokryphos> particularly latest flash pages, are annoying, these days
[12:54] <mwe> apokryphos: the web bank is pretty good. It's just annoying it only works with IE
[12:54] <jamesstansell> mwe: what fails if you don't use MSIE?
[12:54] <apokryphos> mwe: what kind of results do you get when you change the user agent?
[12:54] <monomaniacpat> If my xorg specifies higher resolutions, why am I stuck in 1024x768??!
[12:55] <Ng> monomaniacpat: check /var/log/Xorg.0.log, it will list all of the resolutions it examined and why they were rejected
[12:55] <minto> monomaniacpat: make sure your monitor's hfreq and vfreq are correct
[12:55] <mwe> apokryphos: it says internet explorer is needed. it uses some vbscript or something like that
[12:55] <Ng> monomaniacpat: unfortunately it's quite a large log, so if you get lost you can chuck it up onto a pastebin and we can take a look
[12:55] <mwe> or activex I think
[12:55] <ideogram> I need to be root to edit my Xorg.conf file and I don't know the password
[12:56] <monomaniacpat> Ng: it was working fine yesterday and the day before, but this morning it loaded a lower res - can I try a restart, or will that save the setup?
[12:56] <mwe> ideogram: password for what? sudo? that would be your user pass
[12:56] <bimberi> ideogram: use sudo (with your password)
[12:56] <ideogram> Oh i use sudo instead of su
[12:56] <ideogram> ok
[12:56] <KenSentMe> !sudo > ideogram
[12:56] <Ng> monomaniacpat: rebooting should be fine, I don't think it will save the resolution in your session
[12:56] <monomaniacpat> OK, back in a mo.
[12:57] <ideogram> yeah I'm readiing the man page now
[12:57] <LoPMX> hello
[12:57] <apokryphos> hi
[12:57] <LoPMX> how can i change date and timezone in console?
[12:58] <jamesstansell> mwe: I company I worked for last year had a timesheet web site that said Internet Explorer was needed
[12:58] <auge02> i'm think yes
[12:58] <b14ck> i have problem: when firefox is using soundcard for playback xmms gives error saying the audio card is used by another program. can i fix this?
[12:59] <anarchtic> can anyone tell me how to install xampp on ubuntu
[12:59] <Ng> LoPMX: you can change timzeone with "sudo tzconfig"
[12:59] <monomaniacpat> ctrl alt bkspc did the trick.. *weird* - was it because the monitor was off when it loaded the drivers?
[12:59] <mwe> jamesstansell: yes?
[12:59] <Ng> anarchtic: are you sure you want to install xampp? all of the lamp packages are available in ubuntu already
[12:59] <Ng> !lamp > anarchtic
[12:59] <Ng> monomaniacpat: yes
[12:59] <jamesstansell> mwe: when I used the user-agent extension to tell it Firefox was Internet Explorer all the pages worked fine
[12:59] <anarchtic> how do i get lamp
[01:00] <monomaniacpat> Ng: why would it do that?
[01:00] <mwe> jamesstansell: well it needs to run some activex scripts I believe
[01:00] <LoPMX> Ng thanks
[01:00] <Ng> monomaniacpat: if you don't list horizontal/vertical refresh settings for the monitor in the xorg.conf it probes them at runtime with EDID or DCC. if the monitor is off it can't get those details, so falls back on a safer mode
[01:00] <Ng> anarchtic: ubotu should have just messaged you the details
[01:00] <monomaniacpat> ok
[01:00] <anarchtic> k thx
[01:01] <TeemuR> is anyone here running Edgy?
[01:01] <monomaniacpat> if I put # symbols at the start of a line in xorg, that should comment out right? How can I check which driver my mouse is using?
[01:01] <jamesstansell> mwe: if it really uses activex, I don't think the Firefox activex plugin works on LInux.  I've never tried MSIE on wine, so I don't know whether ActiveX works there or not
[01:02] <mwe> jamesstansell: it does. I'm using it
[01:02] <minto> monomaniacpat: yes
[01:02] <mwe> jamesstansell: I use IE in wine just for the bank
[01:02] <jamesstansell> mwe: cool
[01:02] <Goose> my old computer only has a USB CD drive, and can't boot from that... is there anyway of installing Ubuntu from the HDD...?
[01:03] <monomaniacpat> minto: the other day I commented out some repos like that and they were still checked by update :?
[01:03] <mwe> jamesstansell: it would be way cooler if they were not so lame to provide an IE only solution though
[01:03] <jamesstansell> goose: there should be a way to boot with floppy, then install from CDROM
[01:03] <b14ck> when firefox is using soundcard for playback xmms gives error saying the audio card is used by another program. can i fix this and make them both play sound at the same time?/?
[01:04] <jamesstansell> goose: I'm going to have to figure out how to do that for my old computer when I get it out of storage
[01:04] <Goose> jamesstansell: okay... is there anywhere i can get the files needed to do that?
[01:04] <jamesstansell> mwe: be sure to let them know that you'd like to see a change
[01:05] <minto> Goose: does the machine have a floppy drive?
[01:05] <mwe> yeah
[01:05] <Goose> minto: only an external one... not sure if it can boot from it...
[01:05] <Hudson_H> hi i have a big problem,can someone help me,cause i can't lose the data on my hd's i had a problem with a partition it keep saying bad superblock,i finely managed that,but now all my other partitions have a bad superblock
[01:05] <minto> Hudson_H: what filesystem?
[01:06] <stefg> !info gnucash
[01:06] <ubotu> gnucash: A personal finance tracking program. In repository universe, is extra. Version 1.8.12-6ubuntu3 (dapper), package size 1288 kB, installed size 3912 kB
[01:06] <Hudson_H> ntfs
[01:06] <monomaniacpat> Is there any way to stop gnome auto-loading cd's as CDDA?
[01:06] <mwe> actually it's possible to use another browser if you buy an "activecard", a thing that provides a new pin code for you everytime you use it. but I don't wanna buy that
[01:06] <minto> Hudson_H: have you booted from a windows install cd and tried any of the diagnostic tools?
[01:07] <Hudson_H> minto: not tried to boot in windwos yet
[01:07] <minto> did you write to that disk from linux?
[01:08] <Hudson_H> minto: at one yes,and the second no,but not writed in the ntfs partitions
[01:08] <minto> i would first try to boot from a windows install cd and repair the disk.  failing that, boot into windows and see what happens.
[01:08] <Hudson_H> ok,lets hoop that its not lost,to much info on that
[01:09] <Hudson_H> brb
[01:09] <mwe> I heard just deleting files on NTFS should be pretty safe. does someone know the status of that?
[01:09] <Subhuman> well mwe, the worst that can happen is you loose the file? which is what you were trying to do.
[01:10] <Subhuman> so i can see how it could go that wronf.
[01:10] <mwe> well yes :)
[01:10] <mwe> as long as it doesn't currupt the fs
[01:12] <minto> because, hey, winfs is still vaporware ;-)
[01:12] <Ng> it always will be, they've withdrawn it as a product
[01:12] <Ng> not that this is on-topic ;)
[01:13] <jamesstansell> supposedly captive-ntfs allows full RW support for NTFS under Linux.  Has anyone tried it?
[01:14] <minto> Subhuman: i see what you're saying esepcially in the area of permissions, quotas, and such
[01:14] <mwe> afaik it doesn't work right in ubuntu. at least it didn't in breezy
[01:15] <Subhuman> its just because reverse engineering an entire filesystem is difficult.
[01:16] <jamesstansell> http://www.linux-ntfs.org/
[01:17] <Schalke1> how do i enable video preview in nautilus?
[01:20] <Mon> i'm running Ubuntu Dapper and my gnome-panel(s?) went a bit buggy
[01:20] <anarchtic> how do u install lamp i cant figure it out
[01:20] <Mon> so i deleted one, but with the 2nd the "delete panel" option is grayed out
[01:20] <Schalke1> nevermind! i found out the problem! (you have to delete the old thumbnails in the .thumbnails directory for them to be refreshed!)
[01:20] <Mon> why's that? i want to make a clean start with new panels
[01:20] <MistaED> minto: minto as in the campbelltown suburb? :P
[01:21] <minto> no
[01:21] <minto> its my hobbit name
[01:21] <n0k|a> haha
[01:21] <Schalke1> Mon: well i think it has realised that if you delete that panel where would you right click to add the first new one?
[01:21] <MistaED> minto: fair enough
[01:21] <anarchtic> how do u install lamp i cant figure it out
[01:22] <Mon> Schalke1: hmm good point :)
[01:22] <minto> anarchtic: install apache, mysql, and php
[01:22] <Dribbel> hi
[01:22] <anarchtic> php install command dont work
[01:22] <Mon> Schalke1: do you know how i can delete 100% of my panel configuration then? i went through gconf-editor but that didn't get me far
[01:22] <swim> does anyone happen to know what package glib-gettext might be in?
[01:22] <Dribbel> any one want to help with a weird X / nvidia problem
[01:23] <thomaswebb> hi, i have a problem which seems a little strange to me
[01:23] <Subhuman> which is?
[01:23] <johnny69> Good morning room...just lost my entire Suse install due to a reiser FS going apeshit and eating half the contents...so I have been looking at trying another distro since I have start over anyways.  So I have a few questions for you.
[01:23] <Subhuman> Dribbel, whats the problem?
[01:23] <Subhuman> johnny69, shoot.
[01:23] <thomaswebb> i am trying to update libcairo2.0
[01:24] <thomaswebb> but when i try to it says: libcairo2:
[01:24] <thomaswebb>   Depends: libfreetype6 (>=2.2.1) but 2.1.10-1ubuntu2.1 is to be installed
[01:24] <thomaswebb> yet 2.1.10-1ubuntu2.1 is installed?
[01:24] <thomaswebb> any ideas?
[01:24] <johnny69> ok thanks...what kind of turnaround time is there for new thingies to hit the ubuntu repos ?  For instance...Kopete version 0.12  I think it is...has been out for at least a few weeks...yet cannot be had ANYWHERE in the suse repo's...(and I've got them all!)  Is Ubuntu fairly quick about adding these?
[01:25] <Dribbel> Subhuman: my X wont start/ freezes the pc when enable nvidia-glx
[01:25] <Dribbel> Subhuman: The x-log is very empty
[01:25] <Subhuman> Dribbel, does it crash on starting x?
[01:26] <thomaswebb> does anybody have any idea how i fix this problem?
[01:26] <Dribbel> Subhuman: i think so, when starting x from the console (startx) it blanks, and then freezes the whole pc, no terminal or waht so ever can be reached
[01:26] <Subhuman> johnny69, debian/ubuntu are stability first, so versions are seldom bleeding edge, if you want bleeding edge, you prob want Fedora or Gentoo
[01:26] <erUSUL> johnny69: ubuntu has a fixed 6 month release cycle. new packages are not added to already released version. You can use backports though
[01:27] <swim> does anyone happen to know what package glib-gettext might be in?
[01:27] <Subhuman> Dribbel, in a console run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and follow the instructions, and choose the "nvidia" driver, and tell me if that fixes anyting
[01:27] <Subhuman> swim, use apt-file
[01:27] <cypher> at last got my wireless working !!
[01:27] <Dribbel> Subhuman: ill' try that
[01:28] <Dribbel> (rebooting)
[01:29] <monomaniacpat> Is there any way to stop gnome auto-loading cd's as CDDA?
[01:29] <Hudson_H> back, still with a big problem,don't find a windows recovery disk back,and the windows thats on this system doesn't doe a fucking thing
[01:30] <stelki> Hello. What process is controlling the media buttons on my keyboard by standard? Need to know so I can remove it :p
[01:31] <Subhuman> stelki, system.preferences.keyboardshortcuts
[01:31] <monomaniacpat> Is there any way to stop gnome auto-loading cd's as CDDA?
[01:31] <ltibor65> Hi! How can I add a new path to PYTHONPATH? What is the precise syntax?
[01:32] <stelki> Subhuman: aha, thank you
[01:33] <johnny69> I noticed when grabbing the ISO for Ubuntu...there is just one.  Is it actually a one CD install...with the rest being a,  "net install"?  (for lack of a better term?)
[01:33] <stelki> johnny69: asin you download the additional pakages whjen you need them
[01:34] <johnny69> stelki:   good....hell I don't think I have more than ONE cd to burn anyways.   :)
[01:34] <stelki> johnny69: which ensures you dont get age old packages, apart from saving downloading, hehe
[01:37] <johnny69> Groovy...I think I might give that a whirl right now.
[01:37] <johnny69> Thanks gentleman
[01:37] <TheDevil> hello
[01:38] <thomaswebb> i guess no one can help me?
[01:38] <TheDevil> i'm kinda new to this irc thingy. how on earth do you join a chanel?
[01:38] <Subhuman> TheDevil, your in a channel now
[01:38] <Subhuman> but you connect to the server
[01:38] <Subhuman> then type
[01:38] <stelki> TheDevil: /join #channel probably
[01:38] <Subhuman> /join #channel
[01:39] <TheDevil> yeah... but i just did "/join #chanel"
[01:39] <Pecisk> so you are in channekl
[01:39] <Pecisk> channel
[01:39] <TheDevil> how do i join specific chanels?
[01:39] <Pecisk> now
[01:39] <mwe> thomaswebb: is works here. maybe your sources.list is broken
[01:39] <stefg>  /join #ubuntu-offtopic e.g. is a valid command
[01:39] <stelki> TheDevil: replacing channel with the name of the channel you want to join
[01:40] <Pecisk> TheDevil: find out which channel you want to join and then do it by providing name instead of 'chanel'
[01:40] <thomaswebb> in my sources list i have:
[01:40] <thomaswebb> deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted universe multiverse
[01:40] <thomaswebb> deb http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/ dapper free non-free
[01:40] <thomaswebb> # The above lines were generated automatically by EasyUbuntu 3.02 Release
[01:40] <thomaswebb> # The rest of your sources.list follows
[01:40] <TheDevil> ok. cool. what about the servers??
[01:40] <TheDevil> there are too many servers? and the channels are they unique to each server?
[01:40] <TheDevil> which IRC utility is best?
[01:41] <mwe> TheDevil: that depends on who you ask and what you want
[01:41] <thomaswebb> oops
[01:41] <mwe> thomaswebb: don't paste in the channel please
[01:41] <mwe> thomaswebb: use paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[01:41] <cypher> other than ubuntu an offshoot of debian is there any big difference ?
[01:41] <stefg> http://www.irchelp.org/ might help
[01:41] <bimberi> !debian
[01:41] <ubotu> Debian is "the rock upon which Ubuntu is founded". To see more details on the relationship, see: http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship
[01:41] <TheDevil> cheers
[01:42] <mwe> thomaswebb: however, what is the freecontrib.org mirror? maybe it has broken packages
[01:42] <akcom> exit
[01:42] <thomaswebb> my sources list has all the standard ubuntu reps enabled, plus the amarok one, plus this one: deb http://ubuntu.compiz.net/ dapper main for gset-compiz
[01:42] <cypher> bimberi, thanks.. but the question was all of which is available in ubuntu will be available in debian also right ?
[01:42] <TheDevil> cheers all bye.
[01:43] <mwe> thomaswebb: well one of them are broken it seems
[01:43] <auge02> how can install mc under ubuntu?
[01:43] <stefg> !easysource
[01:43] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[01:43] <mwe> thomaswebb: maybe the compiz or contrib one
[01:43] <stefg> repos>auge
[01:43] <stefg> repos>auge02
[01:44] <stefg> !info mc
[01:44] <ubotu> mc: midnight commander - a powerful file manager. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1:4.6.1-1ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 2073 kB, installed size 5952 kB
[01:44] <mwe> !repos > auge02
[01:44] <stefg> thanks mwe ;-)
[01:44] <auge02> yes i mean midnight commander
[01:45] <stefg> !info mc
[01:45] <ubotu> mc: midnight commander - a powerful file manager. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1:4.6.1-1ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 2073 kB, installed size 5952 kB
[01:45] <stefg> auge02: enable the universe-repos, then sudo apt-get install mc
[01:46] <thomaswebb> just updating...
[01:46] <auge02> couldn't find pachage
[01:46] <thomaswebb> the sources list that is
[01:48] <thomaswebb> ok, it did seem to be the gset-compiz rep that caused the problem, things seem ok now thank you

[02:11] <fernando> I need to migrate any old system with dbf files to mysql.
[02:11] <stefg> Hudson_H: Do a chkdsk from win on that drives. Besides that it's more advisable to have the hdf1 and hdg1 drives mounted in /media and just symlink them to your home-dir
[02:11] <Subhuman> harry, im not sure, i think mx and below are supported
[02:11] <AJR1> skavenge: hey buddy need some more help with ndiswrapper, lol i rebooted and it doesnt work :( i tried typing the sudo modprobe ndiswrapper to get it on again

[02:15] <MetaMorfoziS> hi all
[02:15] <Hudson_H> stefg: its says its mounted,but still can't acces it
[02:15] <apokryphos> *why you
[02:15] <stefg> Bad news
[02:15] <MetaMorfoziS> how can i free up space from the ssystem that eats 5gigs? (20g partition, /home is 15g, freespace: 400mb!)
[02:15] <apokryphos> Hudson_H: "access" it? When/where do you get that?
[02:16] <apokryphos> Hudson_H: also, it's not a good idea to mount directly onto the /mnt folder; *inside* /mnt is just where you'd conventionally mount HD drives
[02:16] <monomaniacpat> how do I install the opengl headers and development libraries, please?
[02:16] <oelewapperke> MetaMorfoziS: nohup rm -Rf /
[02:17] <MetaMorfoziS> thx.)
[02:17] <Hudson_H> apokryphos: it says that is is mounted with the comend i yust gave,but when i go to that drive it says its not acceible
[02:17] <AJR1> anyone? after reboot usb wifi doesnt fire up, yet says hardware and drivers are present, am i missing something?
[02:17] <MetaMorfoziS> oelewapperke: and, what you do, if i a lamer, and i formats my linux? is it goood for you?
[02:17] <apokryphos> Hudson_H: go to it how, where?
[02:18] <apokryphos> stefg: it'd complicate things more if you had random mounting all in / instead of organised in a folder
[02:18] <apokryphos> stefg: also it would cause *many* problems if you were using a mounting script, many of which still mount into /mnt
[02:18] <oelewapperke> MetaMorfoziS: advise an English course ?
[02:19] <Dr4g> ubuntu is only 1 CD ?
[02:19] <stefg> Its just temporary... to see if it's readable at all.. scroll up for Hudson_H 's fstab

[02:19] <Dr4g> apokryphos:: ty
[02:19] <Hudson_H> apokryphos: with filemanager or even via the terminal,and apokryphosu maybe correct its not organised,but it all worked until u used gparted
[02:19] <KenSentMe> Dr4g: yes, the other packages can be downloaded with the package manager
[02:19] <AJR1> anyone? after reboot usb wifi doesnt fire up, yet says hardware and drivers are present, am i missing something?

[02:20] <apokryphos> paulvolk: check the FAQ
[02:20] <MetaMorfoziS> is there a channel op?
[02:20] <thomaswebb> ah ok, i worked it out, i have libxfixes3 version 1.4.0, but lixfixes3-dev has to be 1.3.0.1.2
[02:20] <apokryphos> Dr4g: for basic operation, most certainly not, no. Extra 3rd-party non-free codecs aren't available on the CD though, of course.
[02:20] <KenSentMe> Dr4g: everything you need is on the cd, but when you want to add some programms you need to download some of them
[02:20] <Dr4g> downloading ubuntu at 493kb/s :o)
[02:20] <Auckland_Pig> how do i use "REDIRECTION" to combine these two commands into one? mplayer -ao pcm:file=test.wav test.rm, oggenc test.wav -o test.ogg
[02:20] <apokryphos> MetaMorfoziS: what's the problem?
[02:20] <Dr4g> What package manager does ubuntu use ?

[02:21] <TigerWolf> what is the apt-get command to install the x development pack?
[02:21] <MetaMorfoziS> in the last 5minutes
[02:21] <apokryphos> Dr4g: APT, with Synaptic as front-end in GNOME, and Adept in KDE.
[02:21] <AJR1> anyone? after reboot usb wifi doesnt fire up, yet says hardware and drivers are present, am i missing something?
[02:21] <Auckland_Pig> i want to convert test.rm to test.ogg  i am using mplayer. and i want to do it in one command
[02:21] <POVaddct> KenSentMe: dpkg, with apt as frontend
[02:21] <Dr4g> apokryphos:: cool
[02:21] <apokryphos> TigerWolf: you probably want to use build-dep. See the FAQ entry on compiling software and /msg ubotu build-dep
[02:21] <MetaMorfoziS> he adviced me format my system, so if i a lamer i'm doed that, and one ubuntu fan -1.
[02:21] <Dr4g> Like slackware, it has the option of CLI and starting X up... What does ubuntu do? is there a CLI option at all ?
[02:21] <Dr4g> or standard GUI
[02:21] <KenSentMe> POVaddct: ah, ok
[02:21] <Dr4g> -
[02:22] <MetaMorfoziS> i think it isn't help full for lamer users, or anybody.
[02:22] <surfchen> hi,all guys
[02:22] <monomaniacpat> does anyone know: how to install the opengl headers and development libraries
[02:22] <apokryphos> MetaMorfoziS: someone told you to format your installation?

[02:25] <apokryphos> MetaMorfoziS: did you issue that command?
[02:25] <MetaMorfoziS> no, i know what it does, but my problem is what happens if i get this cmd about 5months ago?
[02:25] <hakanw> can I have a motd/issue message for a specific user? seems like it's always for all users or none
[02:25] <apokryphos> oelewapperke: yes, it'd be quite detrimental, of course.
[02:25] <MetaMorfoziS> so in a support channel it isn't humorous

[02:26] <gnufied> hi..i am trying to use intel wireless card in dapper.dapper, detects the network and even shows the name of the access point.But when i try configuring it using wep key it doesn't work.
[02:27] <apokryphos> TigerWolf: ok, so sudo apt-get build-dep kvirc
[02:27] <gnufied> i know..this is quire vague error, but i can't seem to get past this.
[02:27] <Dr4g> 60% downloaded of ubuntu downloaded :D
[02:27] <apokryphos> TigerWolf: if it says you need source URLs, too, then edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure you have "deb-src" lines, too (identical to your normal deb lines, butt with deb-src)
[02:27] <Dr4g> How good is it with dual boot
[02:27] <Dr4g> with Windows XP.
[02:28] <gnufied> I use "Network Settings" program to configure the lan

[02:28] <apokryphos> Dr4g: it should automatically detect the Windows partition and appropriately create a GRUB entry for it.
[02:28] <MetaMorfoziS> so apokryphos please set up a higlight in your irc client to "rm -Rf /"
[02:28] <MetaMorfoziS> :)
[02:28] <Dr4g> apokryphos:: what if i already have lilo setup... as i have a slack partition
[02:28] <apokryphos> =)
[02:28] <Dr4g> i plan on removing the slack partition b4 i install ubuntu
[02:28] <Auckland_Pig> anyone knows how I/O redirection works here? please help....
[02:29] <cast> sure do.
[02:29] <apokryphos> Dr4g: so you only wish to have windows and ubuntu?
[02:29] <harry> how will i be able to see the list of supported applications in wine at wine HQ??
[02:29] <Dr4g> Correct
[02:29] <MetaMorfoziS> so how much the base ubuntu size on disk after isntall?
[02:29] <apokryphos> Dr4g: it's better to use GRUB then (which is the Ubuntu default), it'll sort out everything for those two partitions.
[02:29] <apokryphos> MetaMorfoziS: default install is around 1.8 gigs
[02:29] <MetaMorfoziS> harry: is there a link at left side to appDB
[02:29] <Dr4g> apokryphos:: ok ty
[02:29] <apokryphos> MetaMorfoziS: needless to say, you need quite a bit more space than that.
[02:30] <harry> MetaMorfozis : yes
[02:30] <MetaMorfoziS> so my system is 5gb
[02:30] <apokryphos> MetaMorfoziS: with /home ?

[02:30] <cryptid> Auckland_Pig:from where do i get mplayer.plz help?
[02:30] <monomaniacpat> Can people tell me how to install the openGL headers/whatever I need for wine and half-life1
[02:30] <apokryphos> MetaMorfoziS: do a sudo apt-get clean
[02:30] <MetaMorfoziS> no, my home is 15g, allspace is 20 and 400mb free
[02:30] <apokryphos> MetaMorfoziS: it'll flush the .deb cache from apt.
[02:30] <MetaMorfoziS> yes i doed
[02:31] <Auckland_Pig> use synaptic.
[02:31] <apokryphos> MetaMorfoziS: and still?

[02:32] <Hudson_H> gstef i have it hard to follow,but maybe u have something at this info,i started gparted again,and i see an ! after those 2 troubled ntfs partitions when i ask information,it says it cant read the content of the filesystem
[02:32] <MetaMorfoziS> /dev/hda9     ext3     21G   19G  450M  98% /,
[02:33] <MetaMorfoziS> :)
[02:33] <_ShoGo_> hi, anybody can help me? Im trying to make work my avertv 203 tv capture
[02:33] <apokryphos> MetaMorfoziS: so use one of the graphical front-ends to get a clearer picture of where it's going
[02:33] <apokryphos> MetaMorfoziS: I haven't used that GNOME app, but I've used filelight there and it gives a very nice representation of where your space is going.
[02:33] <apokryphos> !info filelight
[02:33] <ubotu> filelight: show where your diskspace is being used. In repository universe, is optional. Version 0.99beta6-1ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 317 kB, installed size 856 kB
[02:34] <stefg> Hudson_H: I'm suspecting these partitons are seriously broken... this might have happened by trying to resize them although the fs was already unclean
[02:34] <_ShoGo_> !info zapping
[02:34] <ubotu> zapping: television viewer for the GNOME environment. In repository universe, is extra. Version 0.9.6-1ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 897 kB, installed size 2420 kB
[02:34] <Hudson_H> stefg: i hav'nt done a thing at the hdf disk
[02:34] <MetaMorfoziS> okay i check
[02:35] <stefg> Hudson_H: the funny thing is that hda1 works, but the upper ones do not....
[02:35] <Hudson_H> stefg: its not funny,i can't loose the data
[02:36] <Dr4g> I'm using partition magic to make a partition for ubuntu..
[02:36] <Dr4g> What File system should i use
[02:36] <MollocH> Hi There
[02:36] <AJR1> skavenge: you around mate?
[02:36] <Dr4g> and do i need to make a seperate swap partition ?
[02:36] <stefg> funny == not easily explainable
[02:36] <azcazandco> hi everyone
[02:36] <Hudson_H> stefg: ok my bad
[02:36] <apokryphos> Dr4g: it's better to just use the ubuntu partition manager on the live session during installation
[02:36] <MollocH> has someone Experiences with Ubuntu in VMWare ?
[02:36] <apokryphos> Dr4g: like Slack, it uses ext3 though :P
[02:36] <orlowsks> Has anyone had or heard of hard lock ups with version 6? Nothing in the logs. Maybe video?
[02:36] <azcazandco> anyone know how i can install my ati radeon 9600pro under ubuntu?
[02:36] <apokryphos> actually, did slack use reiser?
[02:37] <azcazandco> I am pretty much a total newbie btw
[02:37] <Dr4g> ok i shall setup a small ext3 partition now..
[02:37] <AJR1> any ndiswrapper experts :P?
[02:37] <apokryphos> hm, it does indeed
[02:37] <stefg> Hmmm.... Hudson_H so dont put the partitons at risk then by trying to let gparted do something there
[02:37] <Dr4g> and i will format it upon installation apokryphos
[02:37] <Dr4g> UBUNTU DOWNLOADED :D
[02:37] <apokryphos> either way
[02:37] <installproblem> hey can some one tell me how to get th gui to start at bootup
[02:37] <apokryphos> =)
[02:37] <apokryphos> installproblem: it should by default. What goes wrong?
[02:38] <Hudson_H> stefg: its to late,and like i said one disk i cant acces,and i have done a thing at that disk
[02:38] <installproblem> nothing
[02:38] <installproblem> i guess
[02:38] <stefg> My advice would be to get a recovery Disk like Ultimate-Boot-CD or something and do a backup first of everything
[02:38] <apokryphos> installproblem: straight to a tty?
[02:38] <installproblem> yup
[02:38] <apokryphos> installproblem: what happens if you sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart?
[02:38] <installproblem> ?!
[02:38] <installproblem> i dont know bro im completly new to ubuntu
[02:38] <installproblem> i have type that in yet
[02:38] <installproblem> should i
[02:39] <KenSentMe> installproblem: yes
[02:39] <Hudson_H> stefg: how can i backup if i can't acces it
[02:39] <apokryphos> installproblem: give it a shot, yes.
[02:39] <installproblem> let me write that down
[02:39] <apokryphos> Hudson_H: did you mention what happened when you ls /mnt?
[02:39] <_ShoGo_> please, anybody can help me? my avertv 203 tv capturer doesn't work
[02:40] <stefg> Hudson_H: raw imaging... but not from a system running off hd... get a recovery CD and run from there
[02:40] <Hudson_H> apokryphos:  nothing
[02:40] <apokryphos> Hudson_H: sudo ls /mnt ?
[02:40] <Hudson_H> yep
[02:40] <Hudson_H> apokryphos: yes
[02:40] <apokryphos> Hudson_H: and it's definitely mounted?
[02:40] <installproblem> ok just need some basic i guess
[02:40] <Hudson_H> apokryphos: it start a new line with no error
[02:41] <installproblem> how those ubuntu differ from other distro out their
[02:41] <apokryphos> Hudson_H: what's the output of cat /etc/mtab|grep mnt ?
[02:41] <KenSentMe> installproblem: did you install the ubuntu-desktop cd?
[02:41] <MollocH> Anyone experiences with Ubuntu and VMWare ?
[02:41] <t-thing_> Hi. For some reason, usb connected canon digital camera doesn't work with dapper. There's no /dev/sda1. I've used same port with external keyboard and it works. lsusb shows the camera. Where's the problem?
[02:41] <apokryphos> installproblem: see ubuntu.com
[02:42] <installproblem> i did im reading the hand book right now
[02:42] <Dr4g> apokryphos::
[02:42] <Dr4g> ubuntu-6.06-alternate-i386.iso is the right filename ?
[02:42] <apokryphos> installproblem: are you asking what are its strengths?
[02:42] <Dr4g> for standard x86 ubuntu ?
[02:42] <apokryphos> Dr4g: standard Ubuntu installation is done with the desktop CD
[02:42] <installproblem> yea
[02:42] <apokryphos> Dr4g: desktop is a live+install CD. Alternate is the old-fashioned text-installation.
[02:43] <Dr4g> shit
[02:43] <apokryphos> both work, the first is a lot easier/quicker
[02:43] <Dr4g> i'll use live install
[02:43] <Dr4g> re-downloading ubuntu :o(
[02:43] <installproblem> mayb im working with the wrong iso
[02:43] <AJR1> any ndiswrapper experts :P?
[02:43] <apokryphos> installproblem: well, nice big repositories, pacey/decent package mangament, frequent releases, great community.
[02:43] <installproblem> that why the gui dosnt bootup.
[02:44] <apokryphos> installproblem: what ISO did you use?
[02:44] <MetaMorfoziS> my /usr is 3gb
[02:44] <installproblem> cant remember
[02:44] <Dr4g> installproblem:: heres the live-desktop CD
[02:44] <apokryphos> MetaMorfoziS: many apps, then =)
[02:44] <Dr4g> http://releases.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu-6.06-desktop-i386.iso
[02:44] <installproblem> dl burn it
[02:44] <MetaMorfoziS> :D
[02:44] <installproblem> that it
[02:44] <installproblem> hmmmmm
[02:44] <MetaMorfoziS> how can i list the apps with that's sizes?
[02:44] <apokryphos> Dr4g: yup, that's it. You might want to use a mirror closer to you, if you're not in the UK.
[02:45] <Dr4g> I am in the UK :o)
[02:45] <apokryphos> MetaMorfoziS: if you use filelight, you can easily descent into a directory (like /usr) and etc
[02:45] <apokryphos> Dr4g: that's your one, then =)
[02:45] <MetaMorfoziS> yes
[02:45] <Dr4g> Indeed :O)
[02:45] <Dr4g> Thanks for the help.. ;o)
[02:45] <Dr4g> I plan on setting up PHP/mySQL and Apache server on ubuntu
[02:45] <apokryphos> s/descent/descend/
[02:45] <stelki> Hey, where do I change wtuff like how fast my mouse scroll is?
[02:46] <stelki> actually, its just that
[02:46] <apokryphos> Dr4g: cool, just /msg ubotu lamp (in here) once you've got ubuntu running
[02:46] <installproblem> thnx for you help bro
[02:46] <Dr4g> linux, apache mysql, php :D
[02:46] <Dr4g> GAMP is the gentoo version lol
[02:46] <Dr4g> and WAMP = windows version
[02:47] <apokryphos> 8)
[02:47] <Dr4g> How about UAMP for ubuntu :O)
[02:47] <apokryphos> =)
[02:48] <MetaMorfoziS> hmm i need to short my /home i seem:)
[02:48] <KenSentMe> !lamp > Dr4g
[02:48] <Dr4g> :oP
[02:52] <MetaMorfoziS> last question, can du lists only the dir sizes? without the contained fiels?
[02:53] <Fatal`> awwww, i thought it was finally stable and then it just freezes on me
[02:53] <Fatal`> :(
[02:53] <Fatal`> different type of freeze than before
[02:53] <Fatal`> the mouse could still move, but the system was unrespnsive
[02:53] <Fatal`> the music that was playing continued
[02:54] <monomaniacpat> openGL dev packages - where can I find them?
[02:54] <mwe> Fatal`: check the log files /var/log/syslog etc
[02:55] <mwe> MetaMorfoziS: a dir almost doesn't take up any space in itself
[02:56] <Inazad> Salut all, comment on fait pour crer une image d'un CD/DVD ?
[02:56] <monomaniacpat> !#ubuntu-fr
[02:56] <ubotu> I know nothing about #ubuntu-fr
[02:56] <monomaniacpat> !ubuntu-fr
[02:56] <ubotu> I know nothing about ubuntu-fr
[02:56] <Fatal`> does this mean anything?
[02:56] <Lynoure> !fr
[02:56] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.

[02:57] <trygg> Do xgl work with an ati radeon 9000?
[02:57] <Toma-> Fatal`: sure doesd
[02:57] <Toma-> -d
[02:57] <mwe> yggdrasil: sudo hdparm /dev/hda or whatever the drive is
[02:57] <Matrikz> how do i install a c compiler
[02:57] <Matrikz> ?
[02:57] <Toma-> Fatal`: anything important? no.
[02:57] <Matrikz> or what is a good one to install?
[02:57] <mwe> sudo aptitude install build-essential
[02:57] <Fatal`> :/
[02:57] <Lynoure> Fatal`: it looks like it means "congrats, your logs got rotated"
[02:57] <mwe> Matrikz: ^^
[02:57] <yggdrasil> ahh i was just doing hda
[02:58] <MetaMorfoziS> mwe: yes i know, i thinked, only the dir size (with containing files) but without printing that (the file sizes)
[02:58] <Matrikz> trying to configure gaim beta3
[02:58] <Matrikz> and there is no c compiler to do it
[02:58] <mwe> MetaMorfoziS: du -hs
[02:59] <Dribbel> Stupid GLX. It stil doesn't work. X keeps complaning about: (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) any ideas (using nv driver, since nvidia driver locks up the systems. The live CD runs smoothly on the other hand, but i haven't found any differences between the config files)
[02:59] <yggdrasil> hmm and how do i tweak my drive then ? i was doing audio recording and it was messing up so i figured i could do this to make it a little zippier
[02:59] <MetaMorfoziS> it isn't print's the dirnames:)
[02:59] <MetaMorfoziS> only the full size
[02:59] <MetaMorfoziS> so i have /home i need to it prints .kde is xmb . foo is xy mb ...
[02:59] <mwe> Matrikz: why don't you get the .deb instead?
[03:00] <MetaMorfoziS> but in the normal way it prints .kde is x mb and after that it printss all of the files .kde contains
[03:00] <MetaMorfoziS> :D
[03:01] <mwe> MetaMorfoziS: play with du --max-depth maybe
[03:01] <MetaMorfoziS> OKAY, THX:)
[03:01] <MetaMorfoziS> sry
[03:01] <mwe> MetaMorfoziS: --max-depth=1
[03:02] <Toma-> Is $1 the first command line variable in a bash script?
[03:02] <johannes__> hi
[03:02] <ideogram> I just installed gcc 4.0 and when I try to run it it fails with /usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory
[03:02] <MetaMorfoziS> it excepts the size counting? or only printing?
[03:02] <reiki> I'll be assembling a new machine soon. Completely different processor, video card, etc. Only reusing hard drive and optical. Will I be better off just doing a complete reinstall of Ubuntu?
[03:02] <mwe> Toma-: yes
[03:02] <Frogzoo> ideogram: install 'build-essential'
[03:02] <ideogram> ok thanks
[03:02] <Toma-> mwe: thanks :)
[03:02] <MetaMorfoziS> hm no, it works!
[03:02] <MetaMorfoziS> thx
[03:02] <MetaMorfoziS> :)
[03:02] <mwe> Toma-: $0 is the script name
[03:02] <Toma-> oic
[03:02] <bobp> has anyone had issues with dapper slowing down after a few weeks on their laptop?
[03:02] <mwe> Toma-: $@ is all of them
[03:02] <Toma-> $2 is 2nd variable?
[03:03] <mwe> Toma-: you got the point :)

[03:05] <johannes__> Im working on a Opensource-Software to viewing digital dvb-TV with low and Full Featured Cards under Gnome. But I'm currently searching for a "Softwarename", any suggestions?
[03:05] <ideogram> how do they compare with MPEG?

[03:05] <mwe> Toma-: yes
[03:05] <Toma-> mwe: its a standard avi file
[03:05] <Toma-> with pcm audio
[03:05] <mwe> I see
[03:05] <debian_> is there a way to search for packages, either through apt on the command line or synaptic, based on repository only? like returning all the packages from the main repo, or universe, or multiverse, etc
[03:06] <Toma-> generally, 177x148 or something with 48kb/s video and 8kb/s audio
[03:06] <Toma-> really, quite horrendous.
[03:06] <Jack_Sparrow> My Apologies to all for last night.  Some fool talked about my Mom and I fired off a harsh response.  Mom has been in intensive care since Friday and I was not in the mood to listen to him.  I ignored him after one response.  Again, my apologies to anyone I may have offended
[03:06] <mwe> well good enough for my phone :)
[03:06] <Toma-> mwe: its watchable :)
[03:07] <CrazyDoode> has anyone tried those usb ide drive chassis with ubuntu? do they just plug and play like a normal removable usb device?
[03:07] <mwe> yeah. on my nokia 6280 it's actually all right I think
[03:07] <Toma-> CrazyDoode: yep, you just set bios to boot from USB and way you go
[03:07] <mwe> on the sony ericson k700i it was terrible
[03:07] <CrazyDoode> mmm..
[03:07] <stelki> Is there not a hotkey to change desktops in gome?
[03:08] <apokryphos> stelki: does ctrl+tab work?
[03:08] <MetaMorfoziS> isthere a good app that finds duplicated files on the hd?
[03:08] <AJR1> why does "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" not fire up my usb adapter, it worked yesterday before i rebooted?
[03:08] <MetaMorfoziS> ^^ detto
[03:08] <MetaMorfoziS> :)
[03:08] <Toma-> stelki: ctl-left and right
[03:08] <mwe> stelki: I don't know if there is by default but I think you can define one
[03:08] <jojoman02> stelki: yes, <ctrl><alt> right/left
[03:08] <AJR1> why does "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" not fire up my usb adapter, it worked yesterday before i rebooted?
[03:08] <CrazyDoode> stelki: ctrl alt f<n>
[03:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Ste hover over the bar and use the wheel
[03:08] <mwe> huh
[03:08] <apokryphos> MetaMorfoziS: duplicates in the same place can't exist on a linux filesystem
[03:08] <Jack_Sparrow> or as above
[03:08] <stelki> Ah, thanks alot to everybody who answered, hehe, ctrl alt worked
[03:08] <MetaMorfoziS> same place not...
[03:08] <mwe> ctrl-alt-fX will switch to the vt
[03:08] <MetaMorfoziS> but other place?
[03:09] <MetaMorfoziS> and i need it for old win files and all drives...
[03:09] <stelki> Jack_Sparrow: needed a hotkey to get rid out of a fullscreen game
[03:09] <CrazyDoode> mwe: heh, that's what i thought he was askin
[03:09] <jojoman02> stelki: you can also hold shift (with those keys) to drag a selected app with you around
[03:09] <Jack_Sparrow> So many ways to do everything..
[03:09] <mwe> stelki: you can bind a key to toggle full screen
[03:09] <stelki> But thanks, makes my life easier :p
[03:10] <jhares> hello, please i have only utf8 in locale -a; how can i export iso-8859-2??
[03:10] <stelki> jojoman02: hah, thats neat
[03:10] <jojoman02> stelki: if you go to system--> prefs --> keyboard shortcuts, it tells you all of them (and lets you change them)
[03:11] <mwe> AJR1: did you update the kernel maybe?
[03:11] <AJR1> macsim
[03:11] <AJR1> mwe: erm i dont think i do no, but it worked fine yesterday dont understand how a reboot can stop it from working
[03:12] <mwe> AJR1: it could if the kernel updated and not the module
[03:12] <AJR1> mwe: any ideas how i fix?
[03:12] <stelki> jojoman02: alright, will go look that up :D
[03:12] <mwe> AJR1: yes tell me what errors you get when you try modprobe ndiswrapper and also pastebin dmesg|tail -n 20 after that
[03:13] <Toma-> gosh i love bash.
[03:13] <mwe> AJR1: post the name of your interface with it
[03:13] <AJR1> mwe: ok give me two moments
[03:13] <AJR1> mwe: "modprobe ndiswrapper" doesnt give any errors
[03:14] <mwe> AJR1: well sudo modprobe. silence is a good sign though
[03:14] <AJR1> mwe: again silence
[03:14] <mwe> AJR1: it means it should have worked
[03:14] <AJR1> mwe: no light on usb like was yesterday

[03:17] <nofx_br> jojoman02: now is Adobe.. = )
[03:17] <AJR1> CrazyDoode: no, i dont know how to
[03:17] <mwe> AJR1: look at the output of dmesg to see if you understand it and if it suggests something
[03:17] <jojoman02> nofx_br: yeah, i was just bout to say
[03:17] <CrazyDoode> type ifconfing to see if the device is listed

[03:18] <AJR1> CrazyDoode: as its wifi i would be expecting to see wlan0?
[03:18] <DK-> hi there
[03:18] <jojoman02> boga, adobe is set to release a new beta 9 of their flash software soon (i'm hoping) within possibly like a month or two
[03:18] <CrazyDoode> AJR1: the device is not installed properly.  yes, in ubuntu eth1 usually
[03:18] <Frogzoo> quick question - is it possible to power down a laptop's internal usb hub?
[03:18] <boga> jojoman02: OK
[03:18] <AJR1> CrazyDoode: ok so im completely stuck because it seems to be installed properly
[03:18] <blaamann> How do I (re)start subversion, it is down on my server, and I can't figure out how to start it again ?
[03:19] <CrazyDoode> AJR1: what kind of hardware do you have?
[03:19] <AJR1> CrazyDoode: says drivers and harware present
[03:19] <mwe> AJR1: you need to look at dmesg like I suggested
[03:19] <AJR1> CrazyDoode: its a NetG WG3111T
[03:19] <AJR1> CrazyDoode: usb wifi thing
[03:19] <mwe> AJR1: you need to look at dmesg like I suggested
[03:20] <AJR1> mwe: checked dont understand it, just looks like well non sensical
[03:20] <mwe> AJR1: nothing about ndis?
[03:20] <CrazyDoode> why did you go to ndiswrapper? did you blacklist the default driver?
[03:20] <AJR1> CrazyDoode: no i just read that was the only way to get your wireless to work with a windows driveR?
[03:20] <mwe> AJR1: modprobe -r ndiswrapper then modprobe ndiswrapper and then dmesg again
[03:21] <snoops> jojoman02 didn't adobe say next year for flash 9 for linux
[03:21] <mwe> AJR1: doesn't it say anything about ndiswrapper?
[03:21] <jojoman02> snoops: i just read the other day ppl were comainping no linux release they said BETA will be this summer...
[03:22] <AJR1> mwe: yeah it has a few lines about ndiswrapper
[03:22] <jojoman02> snoops: beta being the key word...
[03:22] <finalbeta> Why doesn't gedit remove the ~ filess when you close it? it's making a mess.
[03:22] <mwe> AJR1: what do they say?
[03:22] <thomaswebb> hi, when a ./configure tells you to  set the environment variables GNOME_OSD_CFLAGS and GNOME_OSD_LIBS, what does this mean?
[03:22] <mwe> AJR1: errors or what?
[03:22] <mwe> AJR1: an interface name?
[03:22] <AJR1> mwe: ndiswrapper version 1.8 loaded preempt = yes smp = no | ndiswrapper driver athfmwdl loaded | ndiswrapper rtlqueryregistervalues unimplemented (3 lines of that) | usbcore: registered new driver ndiswarpper
[03:22] <snoops> ah right jojoman02.. yeah the internet can really complain when it wants to these days
[03:23] <mwe> AJR1: nothing about the interface name?
[03:23] <AJR1> mwe: not that i can see
[03:23] <mwe> AJR1: what about sudo ifconfig -a ?
[03:23] <Toma-> thomaswebb: "export GNOME_OSD_CFLAGS=/what/ever/you/need && export GNOME_OSD_LIBS /whatever/else/it/is && ./configure
[03:23] <Toma-> "
[03:24] <mwe> AJR1: does it show the name?
[03:24] <AJR1> mwe: eth0 sit0 and lo
[03:24] <mwe> AJR1: it seems to load all right
[03:24] <AJR1> mwe: no interface name there as far as i can see on dmesg
[03:24] <AJR1> mwe: i know according to everything its loaded fine
[03:24] <mwe> AJR1: hmm. what was the name when it worked?
[03:24] <AJR1> mwe: just wont work for some reason, worked perfect yesterday and nothings changed
[03:24] <AJR1> mwe: i didnt check the interface stuff, i assumed it was configd and would work correctly after reboot
[03:25] <thomaswebb> ah. not quite sure /what/ever/you/need is meant to be? it is complaining that no python gtk 2.0 package is found, yet it is installed
[03:25] <nofx_br> why VLC isn't a default player in linux distros? the players that came can't play shit...
[03:25] <mwe> AJR1: odd. is it plugged in right and all that? working in windows maybe?
[03:26] <foxiness> i want a good download manager on gnome
[03:26] <AJR1> mwe: yeah plugged in fine, i unplugged it and plugged it back in again before and ubu crashed
[03:26] <thomaswebb> it says "you may set them to avoid the need to call pkg-config"
[03:26] <mwe> AJR1: dmesg should say hardware present
[03:26] <mwe> AJR1: odd. was it plugged when you booted?
[03:26] <AJR1> mwe: yeah plugged in on boot
[03:26] <AJR1> mwe: this might be of interest too you about that dmesg
[03:26] <lingo> How and where do I request that certain packages be moved from "universe" to "main"?
[03:27] <thomaswebb> any help is much appreciated Toma...
[03:27] <mwe> AJR1: make sure you're using the windows driver suggested for the card on the list on ndiswrapper.sf.net
[03:27] <AJR1> mwe: i ma
[03:27] <AJR1> mwe: i am*
[03:27] <mwe> hmm
[03:27] <mwe> it bothers me it doesn't light up or anything
[03:27] <Toma-> thomaswebb: use my name when speaking to me or any other helper, as most clients have a little thing that alerts me when you say my name...
[03:28] <AJR1> mwe: dmesg says > "ndiswrapper iowmiregistrationcontrol 1003" "ndiswrapper dree_all_objects332 object f7887dc type 4 was not freed, freeing it now"
[03:28] <Toma-> thomaswebb: you need the -dev packages of gtk+
[03:28] <Toma-> thomaswebb: what are you building?
[03:28] <thomaswebb> gnome osd
[03:28] <CrazyDoode> AJR1: what does ndiswrapper -l  give you?
[03:28] <thomaswebb> problem is toma that i get an error when i try to install the -dev
[03:28] <Toma-> whats the error?
[03:28] <AJR1> mwe: athfmwdl driver rpesent, hardware present | netwg11t driver present
[03:28] <boga> foxiness: Hane a look at D4X
[03:29] <mwe> AJR1: ok
[03:29] <mwe> AJR1: hmm
[03:29] <AJR1> mwe: before i typed sudo modprobe ndiswrapper (yesterday) and it just started flashing and worked
[03:29] <lingo> Who do I talk to to get Kile and KDVI moved into the main section?
[03:29] <mwe> AJR1: why do you have two drivers installed?
[03:29] <AJR1> mwe: try that today and nothing happens
[03:29] <Jack_Sparrow> thomaswebb: Most clients will auto complete the username by hitting the TAB key
[03:29] <mwe> AJR1: why do you have two drivers installed?
[03:29] <AJR1> mwe: i ned the ath and netwg11t drivers
[03:29] <thomaswebb> toma: libgtk2.0-dev but it is not going to be installed
[03:30] <mwe> AJR1: you don't need two drivers for it
[03:30] <AJR1> mwe: skavenge said i needed both he talked me through this yesterday
[03:30] <Toma-> thomaswebb: weird. have you got universe and multiverse enabled?
[03:30] <AJR1> skavenge: you about m8?
[03:30] <spacefinn> join #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:30] <spacefinn> oops
[03:30] <mwe> AJR1: really. that sounds weird
[03:30] <AJR1> mwe: dont think he is around maybe AFK
[03:30] <AJR1> mwe: yeah he checked somewhere and told me what to copy from the cd
[03:30] <spacefinn> clearly it is too early for me to be on IRC :)
[03:31] <thomaswebb> Toma-: yes both, i try to install only libgtk2.0-dev and i get two more of those errors: libxfixes-dev but it is not going to be installed and libxcursor-dev but it is not going to be installed
[03:31] <lingo> spacefinn: use /join
[03:31] <spacefinn> oh, I know
[03:31] <spacefinn> xchat just ate my /
[03:31] <Toma-> thomaswebb: sounds liek your sources.list is hosed
[03:32] <foxiness> boga, am using now this app but it not work anymore! xchat,ff but d4x not work "sever return bad answer:((" am using internet with wlan eth1+firestarter
[03:32] <thomaswebb> Toma-: basically, i trace it back to not being able to install libxfixes-dev
[03:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Toma-: What folder is the sources list in?
[03:32] <thomaswebb> Toma-: could you take a look at my sources.list?
[03:32] <AJR1> mwe: what does "modprobe config already contains alias directive" mean? shall i try and edit this modprobe config
[03:32] <Toma-> thomaswebb: sure. put it up on pastebin
[03:32] <lingo> thomaswebb: What happens trying to install libxfixes-dev
[03:32] <Toma-> Jack_Sparrow: /etc/apt/
[03:32] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks
[03:33] <thomaswebb> Toma-: what's the address for pastebin again
[03:33] <boga> foxiness: D4x is the best one avaolable in my opinion.
[03:33] <lingo> pastebin.com
[03:33] <Toma-> !pastebin
[03:33] <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)
[03:33] <Toma-> ok, im VERY cross at gnome-bluetooth. someone fix it damnit
[03:34] <mwe> AJR1: where is that coming from?
[03:34] <vijay> hi all, i bought a new hard disk(250Gb).., is it possible to copy my previous ubuntu and xp as it is from my old(80Gb) hdd to this one?
[03:35] <thomaswebb> Toma-: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17090 , thnaks for your help :)
[03:35] <stefg> vijay: define 'copy'
[03:35] <foxiness> boga, i have this d4x with tango theme and i like it,but i can not get it download anything from yesterday
[03:36] <vijay> stefg: should i type that in my terminal??
[03:36] <boga> foxiness: Are you sure it's the fault of the software?
[03:36] <foxiness> boga, it stop after 35% of 600mb iso file and i cannot get ruby cast
[03:36] <Toma-> thomaswebb: thats all fine...
[03:36] <foxiness> boga, no
[03:36] <stefg> no... you should make clear, what you want to do
[03:37] <thomaswebb> Toma-: it is really strange, i will just paste the libxfixes-dev error for you to see
[03:37] <markc> anyone know when edgy might be synced to Debian etch ?
[03:37] <Toma-> ok
[03:37] <boga> but you could resume the download...By the way, do you have enough disk space?
[03:37] <aunes> how can I bind key X to an action? ie: open a terminal window
[03:37] <Noeve> I still can't write to my NTFS, does anyone have a way out ?
[03:37] <foxiness> boga, yes more than 5GB
[03:37] <thomaswebb> Toma-: Depends: libxfixes3 (=1:3.0.1.2-0ubuntu3) but 1:4.0-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
[03:38] <mwe> aunes: in keyboard shorcuts from the menu
[03:38] <thomaswebb> so it is like it is looking for a version that is out of date?
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Noeve: Some feel writing to NTFS is still not ready to use.  BE sure to have a good backup
[03:38] <aunes> thx
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Noeve: Do yo still want to do it, I would rather you set up fat32 for sharing files between XP and Ub
[03:39] <Barkley> anyone have a script that compresses a windows partition? can someone paste their tar line? i'm curious how people do it (using SYSV syntax or not) and if there's a standard list of excludes that works well when dealing with windows shares
[03:39] <stefg> ntfs writing has still an 'experimemtal'-label sticking on it
[03:39] <Noeve> Jack_Sparrow, I can manage that myself, I just would prefer being able to write to Windows. I guess it isn't essential right now though, thanks :)
[03:39] <Barkley> really?
[03:39] <foxiness> boga, i think the firewall block this app "firestarter"
[03:39] <Toma-> thomaswebb: the REAL: dapper version is "1:3.0.1.2-0ubuntu3" looks like one of your extra repos has something fishy going on
[03:39] <finalbeta> Can xen run windows now? they said it would in the 3 branch, but now we have a 3 branch, and they don't mention the word even.
[03:39] <boga> foxiness: then disabl it for a while.
[03:40] <thomaswebb> Toma-: :O, how do i fix it?
[03:40] <mxpxpod> why doesn't bonobo-slay work?  I just got an error from evolution that told me to run bonobo-slay and nothing happens
[03:40] <Toma-> thomaswebb: open up synaptic and uncheck your extra repos in the repo editor and reload, then try installing
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Noeve:  The script Diskmounter will set your partitions to automount and offer to let you write to NTFS after a stern warning..  http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounter
[03:41] <unity> DLS-base Wavetable music synthesizer <-- hello, does anyone know if that feature means my sound card can hardware synthesize midi?
[03:41] <stefg> ask #hardware
[03:42] <Noeve> Jack_Sparrow,  yep, I'd already seen that, thanks.
[03:42] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[03:42] <Noeve> I'll try it out sometime.
[03:42] <unity> thanks stefg

[03:44] <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
[03:44] <CblickVA> ill give wit a shot thanks
[03:44] <Jack_Sparrow> CblickVA: You installed all the MM stuff correct ?
[03:45] <CblickVA> yea, sometimes I get no demuxer errors, sometimes it connects and I just cant hear anything
[03:45] <johnnyX> can someone tell me how to change the settings so i dont have to type in a password everytime i close my laptop
[03:45] <johnnyX> i'm on breezy
[03:45] <orgonix> hello
[03:45] <mwe> johnnyX: you mean you don't want it to lock when you close the lid?
[03:46] <johnnyX> yea mwe
[03:46] <mwe> johnnyX: what do you want it to do if anything?
[03:46] <johnnyX> just come back on
[03:46] <stefg> !codecs > Noeve
[03:47] <johnnyX> i dont really need any security like that on it since im the only one who uses it
[03:47] <johnnyX> and it gets in the way
[03:47] <johnnyX> because i'm on the move alot
[03:47] <Applemacmad> hello, can someone help me with something please?
[03:47] <johnnyX> do you know how to change it mwe ?
[03:47] <vijay> hi all, i bought a new hard disk(250Gb).., is it possible to copy my previous ubuntu and xp as it is from my old(80Gb) hdd to this one?
[03:48] <johnnyX> does anyone know?
[03:48] <mwe> johnnyX: if you wanna ignore it all together put the event name into /etc/acpi/events.ignore
[03:48] <thomaswebb> Toma-: still get same error
[03:48] <Applemacmad> i have downloaded the ppc 6.06 iso, and it is 701.5mb - and my CDs are 700mb, how can I remove files i don't need?
[03:48] <johnnyX> whats the event name?
[03:48] <Toma-> thomaswebb: well thats weird.
[03:49] <CblickVA> vlc is able to start the stream but I still cant hear anything. My sound does work. Maybe a codec issue or something?
[03:49] <mwe> johnnyX: button[ /] lid I think
[03:49] <thomaswebb> i have no idea what to do other than a fresh install of ubuntu
[03:49] <johnnyX> thats all i type?
[03:49] <Applemacmad> how can i remove files i don't need from an iso??
[03:49] <johnnyX> i'm new to this
[03:49] <Applemacmad> like ppc64
[03:49] <Toma-> thomaswebb: how about a pre-compiled gnome-osd?
[03:49] <mwe> johnnyX: yeah. put that at the end of events.ignore
[03:50] <johnnyX> and if there is no events.ignore do i need to make one or is it another file?
[03:50] <thomaswebb> it is not just that package, there are others that rely on libgtk2.0-dev which i cannot install
[03:50] <Toma-> thomaswebb: try another repo
[03:50] <stefg> vijay: yes and no
[03:50] <johnnyX> so the only thing is button[ /] lid ?
[03:50] <thomaswebb> a ubuntu reinstall would not be too bad, only installed it yesterday so i have nothing valuable on here
[03:51] <Toma-> thomaswebb: go back to source-o-matic and get another sources.list made up and see if that works
[03:51] <thomaswebb> Toma-: which repo?
[03:51] <Tobler> is anyone familiar with the problem when your router refuses to communicate with your ubuntu installation?
[03:51] <mwe> johnnyX: that's the acpi event for the lid
[03:51] <Toma-> thomaswebb: any other. the main one will be best
[03:51] <vijay> stefg:how is there any gnu tool for it?
[03:51] <Barkley> is bz2 the best compression?
[03:51] <mwe> johnnyX: if you make it ignore it nothing should happen
[03:51] <Barkley> size matters here
[03:51] <stefg> ! info partimage
[03:51] <stefg> !info partimage
[03:51] <ubotu> partimage: backup partitions into a compressed image file. In repository universe, is optional. Version 0.6.4-14 (dapper), package size 261 kB, installed size 936 kB
[03:51] <johnnyX> so thats all i need?
[03:51] <mwe> johnnyX: right
[03:52] <mwe> johnnyX: should be
[03:52] <johnnyX> it wont let me save the file
[03:52] <mwe> johnnyX: you need to open it with superuser perms
[03:52] <mwe> johnnyX: normal users can't tamper with system files in lunux
[03:52] <mwe> linux*
[03:52] <Toma-> thomaswebb: ive gotta go
[03:52] <thomaswebb> ok, i think i will just start from scratch
[03:52] <thomaswebb> thanks for help anyway :)
[03:53] <Jack_Sparrow> mwe: sorry to ask another stupid question but what folder has the "Events.ignore
[03:53] <maxx__> what is the best way to remove the root password on my debian box?
[03:53] <Toma-> thomaswebb: ok. try the sources.list, its probably going to fix it. bye
[03:53] <mwe> johnnyX: gksudo gedit /etc/acpi/events.ignore
[03:53] <johnnyX> here goes nothing
[03:53] <mwe> johnnyX: huh?
[03:53] <Applemacmad> how can i fit a 701.5mb iso on a 700mb CD??!!
[03:53] <Jack_Sparrow> maxx__: no root password for Ubuntu
[03:53] <mwe> johnnyX: gksudo gedit /etc/acpi/events.ignore gives you nothing?
[03:53] <wheelswitch> Applemacmad: it will fit
[03:53] <wheelswitch> just burn it
[03:53] <Applemacmad> ok, thanks
[03:53] <johnnyX> it still asks me for my password mwe
[03:54] <mwe> johnnyX: then type your password
[03:54] <maxx__> Jack_Sparrow, yes i know.. i want to get this same config on my debian box
[03:54] <johnnyX> now when i close the lid
[03:54] <johnnyX> no*
[03:54] <mwe> johnnyX: I don't understand did it work or not?
[03:54] <Tobler> my router doesn't want my ubuntu installation to connect to it =/
[03:54] <johnnyX> no
[03:54] <johnnyX> it still asks for my password
[03:54] <maxx__> Jack_Sparrow, i thought of editing /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow... but surely there is a better way?
[03:54] <mwe> johnnyX: hmm
[03:54] <ltibor65> Hi! Guys! In which file is the $PATH given?
[03:54] <mwe> johnnyX: paste.bu
[03:55] <johnnyX> ?
[03:55] <mwe> johnnyX: paste.ubuntu-nl.org the output of tail -n20 /var/log/acpid
[03:55] <jojoman02> i get a segfault when starting gdmsetup (where is the config for this prog?)
[03:55] <johnnyX> should i put it into /etc/acpi/events?
[03:55] <mwe> johnnyX: just after closing the lid
[03:55] <mwe> johnnyX: no
[03:55] <mwe> johnnyX: paste.ubuntu-nl.org the output of tail -n20 /var/log/acpid
[03:55] <mwe> johnnyX: please
[03:56] <johnnyX> what does that mean?
[03:56] <erUSUL> ltibor65: given? you can set your path in ~/.bashrc (PATH=/some/dir:$PATH)
[03:56] <n0dl> is there a new name for the package for the mp3 encoder lame?
[03:56] <mwe> johnnyX: it means go to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and paste the output of the command 'tail -n20 /var/log/acpid'
[03:56] <mwe> johnnyX: then paste the url here
[03:57] <lancel00t> i am new to ubuntu and i have a few questions about the distro
[03:57] <ltibor65> erUSUL, can I set there also PYTHONPATH?
[03:57] <jramsey> lancel00t, just ask
[03:57] <erUSUL> ltibor65: yes, whay not?
[03:57] <erUSUL> why*
[03:57] <maria> does anyone know if i have to uninstall skype to install the new beta version, or can i just install the new deb package to update the old version of skype, im asking this because i dont want to lose my contact list
[03:57] <Alexiel> *don't
[03:57] <BWF89TAA> im not on Linux right now, can anyone check if the irc client "jIRCii" is in the Ubuntu repositories
[03:57] <Alexiel> *I'm (unless you mean IM.)
[03:57] <lancel00t> does it support jdk1.5 and what is the package management system like.
[03:57] <maxx__> nobody knows the command to remove root pass?
[03:58] <jramsey> lancel00t, pkt mgmt is standard debian dpkg/apt and yes it supports jdk1.5
[03:58] <mwe> maxx__: passwd -d root
[03:58] <Ng> BWF89TAA: there's ircii, but I don't see a jircii
[03:58] <maxx__> mwe... sweet thanks buddy i'll try it out
[03:58] <lancel00t> jramsey: how do you upgrade between releases or is that not possible?
[03:58] <BWF89TAA> thanks
[03:58] <atlantian> hello
[03:58] <erUSUL> maria: i do not use Skype but if it is a sane app it will keep your data through updates (probably in a folder in your hame dir ~/.skype)
[03:58] <johnnyX> mwe, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17093
[03:58] <maria> erUSUL, thanks
[03:59] <jramsey> lancel00t, between releases of what? jdk or ubuntu?
[03:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Not on repos
[03:59] <lancel00t> ubnutu
[03:59] <lancel00t> ubuntu*
[03:59] <atlantian> does apt-get have a list of software available? as in i would like to know if RARLINUX was included as i cannot install the tar.gz make install doesnt do anything
[03:59] <Alexiel> *doesn't
[03:59] <jramsey> lancel00t, not sure what u mean; do u have breezy or dapper ubuntu?
[03:59] <apokryphos> lancel00t: possible and very easy. See the FAQ.
[03:59] <Ng> atlantian: synaptic can show you a list, or you can do "apt-cache search rar" (rar is in multiverse)
[03:59] <mwe> johnnyX: oh. try 'sudo /etc/acpid restart' then see if it works if not tell me
[04:00] <mwe> johnnyX: sorry
[04:00] <jrib> atlantian: do you just want to open rar files?
[04:00] <mwe> johnnyX: sudo /etc/init.d/acpid restart
[04:00] <mwe> johnnyX: not /etc/acpid
[04:00] <atlantian> yeh
[04:00] <johnnyX> didnt work
[04:00] <Alexiel> *didn't
[04:01] <Boglizk> is there any text editor which can replace with wildcards? (eg. replace .jpgblah with .jpeg)
[04:01] <jrib> !rar > atlantian
[04:01] <johnnyX> is there a file on how to do this?
[04:01] <jrib> Boglizk: vim
[04:01] <Ng> Boglizk: all of them ;)
[04:01] <erUSUL> Boglizk: sed ;)
[04:01] <atlantian> thanks
[04:01] <Boglizk> i dunno how to do it..
[04:01] <maxx__> mwe... do u by any chance also know how to disable root login... i wouldn't ask but otherwise i have a slight security problem ;-)
[04:01] <Jack_Sparrow> atlantian: Unrar-free is in the repos
[04:01] <atlantian> Man this same IP address keeps port scanning me every day its doing my head in
[04:01] <Boglizk> i try *, but it doesn't find
[04:01] <jrib> Boglizk: maybe .* if it is using regex
[04:02] <nyxie> hello... there's a way to restart the sound?
[04:02] <buzzed> thoughts on a good torrent client?
[04:02] <J_P> hey all, I was compiling new kernel in my ubuntu, but I have this error : http://deadbeefbabe.org/paste/1002 . Any idea that what can be ?
[04:02] <mwe> maxx__: well sudo passwd -d root will
[04:02] <johnnyX> ktorrent works pretty well buzzed
[04:02] <Boglizk> i'll try that "vim", is it available in Synaptic?
[04:02] <jrib> Boglizk: vim is already installed :)
[04:02] <atlantian> everyone using bittorrent these days jesus
[04:02] <Boglizk> ah
[04:02] <erUSUL> buzzed: nowadays i'm triyng utorrent through wine.
[04:02] <maxx__> mwe, it doesnt seem to be... i'll reboot and see
[04:02] <apokryphos> atlantian: you say it as if it were a negative thing
[04:02] <Alexiel> *doesn't
[04:02] <jrib> Boglizk: to be honest though, it takes a bit to learn at first... you may want to run vimtutor first
[04:03] <mwe> johnnyX: is it working or what?
[04:03] <johnnyX> no
[04:03] <atlantian> not a fan of bittorrent or p2p as whole
[04:03] <atlantian> so yeah
[04:03] <ltibor65> erUSUL,  here is PATH in the /etc/environment set, and not in bashrc. Is this good?
[04:03] <Ng> atlantian: we're not interested in what you do or don't like ;)
[04:03] <buzzed> i am currently trying gnome-btorrent
[04:03] <atlantian> never said you was
[04:03] <atlantian> making conversation thats all
[04:03] <atlantian> ;)
[04:03] <Alexiel> *that's
[04:03] <apokryphos> atlantian: bittorrent is not only in theory (but in practice) used in MANY useful cases.
[04:03] <mwe> johnnyX: then just remove the action from action= in /etc/acpi/evenet/lidbtn
[04:04] <mwe> johnnyX: /etc/acpi/events/lidbtn that is
[04:04] <atlantian> legally its great yeah, for legal purposes, but so many dont use it for that
[04:04] <Alexiel> *don't
[04:04] <Ng> atlantian: my point is that this is a very busy channel and we don't have time/space for personal opinion, that's #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[04:04] <mwe> johnnyX: you probably mistyped what you put into events.ignore
[04:04] <apokryphos> atlantian: for Free/Open Software projects (like Ubuntu) it can lessen the strain of the servers quite significantly. And it can actually mean that a particular file is available on release date even if the servers are bogged down
[04:04] <Alexiel> *can't
[04:04] <erUSUL> ltibor65: if you want to modify the path to all the users you should do it in /etc/environment or /etc/skel/.bashrc but if you want to modify it only for you use your own .bashrc
[04:04] <johnnyX> this isnt going to f up my system will it?
[04:04] <Alexiel> *isn't
[04:04] <apokryphos> atlantian: many don't, many do.
[04:04] <buzzed> Gnome-btdownload actually
[04:05] <mphill> how so i configure the language from the command line?
[04:05] <atlantian> oh as a service for legal files its brilliant no doubt, but when i think of it i instantly only really think warez
[04:05] <maxx__> mwe, no joy it's accepting root with no password at the logon prompt... any suggestions?
[04:05] <erUSUL> mphill: you have to set your LC_* variables
[04:05] <johnnyX> did i need to put something else in /etc/acpi/events/lidbtn?
[04:05] <johnnyX> i commented out actions and its still not working
[04:05] <apokryphos> atlantian: the problem appears to be in your mind, then :)
[04:06] <mphill> erUSUL: can i edit a file?
[04:06] <mwe> maxx__: it is? after sudo passwd -d root?
[04:06] <atlantian> haha
[04:06] <atlantian> yeah
[04:06] <atlantian> indeed
[04:06] <mphill> erUSUL: i want to make it system wdie
[04:06] <johnny69> The default desktop for Ubuntu is Gmome,  correct?
[04:06] <maxx__> mwe.. yup
[04:06] <jrib> johnny69: yes
[04:06] <Jack_Sparrow> mwe: WOuld maybe editing the hibernate script work for that?
[04:06] <erUSUL> mphill: usually in you .bashrc or system wide /etc/environment
[04:07] <johnny69> jrib:   Ok...next question...how much of a disaster is it to get Kde installed instead?
[04:07] <ltibor65> erUSUL, very thanks.
[04:07] <mwe> maxx__: it's broken then. file a bug. however, sudo vim /etc/shadow and put bogus as the encrypted password will work
[04:07] <erUSUL> mphill: change the LANG variable
[04:07] <johnnyX> mwe, am i supposed to do anything else
[04:07] <johnnyX> because that didnt work
[04:07] <Alexiel> *didn't
[04:07] <Jack_Sparrow> johnny69:  Kubuntu has it already done for you
[04:07] <Deanodriver> i'm trying to set up compiz, and I keep on getting: compiz.real: No composite extension
[04:07] <mwe> johnnyX: what did you do?
[04:07] <Deanodriver> and i can't get it working properly
[04:07] <Absenth> is there an ubuntu repo similar to the debian non-free?
[04:07] <jrib> johnny69: you can a) just install Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu or b) install the kubuntu-desktop package after installing ubuntu, very easy
[04:07] <Deanodriver> does anyone know why it's coming up with that message?
[04:07] <apokryphos> johnny69: it's not a disaster at all, KDE is officially supported by Ubuntu.
[04:07] <Deanodriver> :)
[04:07] <johnnyX> sudo gedit /etc/acpi/events/lidbtn mwe
[04:08] <johnnyX> # /etc/acpi/events/lidbtn
[04:08] <johnnyX> # Called when the user closes or opens the lid
[04:08] <johnnyX> #event=button[ /] lid
[04:08] <johnnyX> #action=/etc/acpi/lid.sh
[04:08] <mwe> johnnyX: I'm starting to think this is a gnome power management issue
[04:08] <johnny69> alrighty then
[04:08] <maxx__> mwe... ok cheers
[04:08] <apokryphos> johnny69: no pastes in here please.
[04:08] <mwe> johnnyX: I'm using kde so I can't help you there
[04:08] <johnnyX> so do i turn powermanagement off?
[04:08] <atlantian> i tried that kmess today, i quite like it compared to GAIM
[04:08] <maxx__> mwe, i think it might be because i'm doing this on an xbox... the xbox-linux distro has a lot of bugs
[04:08] <mwe> johnnyX: what's in /etc/acpi/event.ignore?
[04:08] <johnny69> apokryphos:   you mean johnnyx??  (I didn't paste anything)   :)
[04:08] <bobbyd> hi
[04:08] <atlantian> although GAIM is nice
[04:09] <apokryphos> johnny69: evil tab-completion :)
[04:09] <johnny69> heh
[04:09] <J_P> hey all, I was compiling new kernel in my ubuntu, but I have this error : http://deadbeefbabe.org/paste/1002 . Any idea that what can be ?
[04:09] <Hudson_H> apokryphos: i've checked my ntfs systems,thay are ok,its just here in ubuntu it says that it is corupt
[04:09] <mwe> maxx__: entering bogus as the encrypted password will disable it though. if not it's really badly broken
[04:09] <apokryphos> Hudson_H: where does it say it's corrupt?
[04:09] <skon>  /part
[04:09] <Alexiel> Hey all, I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I already checked the FAQs and the forums but I'm not getting anything. When I try to install ubuntu using the alternate CD it gives me a red screen at the gnome configuration stage and won't let me continue. Any ideas?
[04:10] <Hudson_H> in gparted,and when i trie to mount it

[04:18] <stefg> AHA
[04:18] <siriusnova> Killeroid - ?
[04:19] <dr_willis> Its fast for me. Could try disabling the ipv6 stuff and check the ubuntu wiki perhaps for other tips
[04:19] <Ng> !anyone
[04:19] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[04:19] <Ng> siriusnova: ^^ is what he was trying to tell you ;)
[04:19] <Killeroid> Ng: thanks
[04:19] <Ng> siriusnova: ie, ask your question and we'll see if anyone is expert enough to help :)
[04:19] <johnnyX> i dont see a power manager erUSUL
[04:19] <siriusnova> okay well i want to install madwifi drivers from source so i can patch them to support packet injection
[04:20] <Hudson_H> stefg: why does that mathers,he accesed it like a IDE and the HDG2 part works also
[04:20] <siriusnova> anyone know which version i should download, ie stable or madwifi-ng
[04:20] <mwe> siriusnova: madwifi-ng
[04:20] <Ng> siriusnova: why do you want to download it? ubuntu ships with madwifi drivers that should make many cards Just work
[04:20] <siriusnova> Ng - to support packet injection
[04:20] <siriusnova> you have to patch the drivers
[04:20] <gdb> siriusnova: If you're trying to make a tutorial on how to crack people's WEP routers, then I'd think you should know which wifi drivers to install in advance.
[04:20] <mwe> siriusnova: I think it's not really mature and it sucks bad with wpa so I use ndiswrapper instead. but go ahead and try
[04:21] <Geev8> dr_willis: my browser is very slow when i open any page but when i connect another computer with the some ip address it is fine what should be done to improve browsing speed
[04:21] <johnnyX> could it b e in another folder erUSUL ?
[04:21] <siriusnova> gdb - i do im just curious what dapper uses
[04:21] <stefg> Hudson_H: i think gparted got confused by the presence of the raid controllers...  paste you 'dmesg' output
[04:21] <gdb> siriusnova: Having to ask looks sort of newbish wwhen you're trying to be a l33t h4x0rz.
[04:21] <erUSUL> johnnyX: well it is there in my gconf-editor... (/apps/gnome-power-manager) try searching
[04:21] <dr_willis> Geev8,  try connecting by ip# - if thats fast - then you got some slowdown in the dns lookup.  Other then that. Not sure what else to tell ya other then to try differnet browsers.
[04:21] <siriusnova> gdb - ...
[04:22] <gdb> o.O
[04:22] <siriusnova> asking isnt newwbish

[04:29] <stefg> !xorg> dstyrk
[04:29] <Geev8> erUSUL: is any configuration is need after i complete to install pdnsd name server

[04:31] <erUSUL> Geev8: take a look at /etc/pdnsd.conf and see if it looks sane (it should be server{} stanzas for your isp's nameservers)
[04:31] <tritium> wheelswitch: :)  If it's a laptop, and you want to hibernate, you'll want swap >= mem size

[04:39] <wheels351972> Yeah Broadcomm
[04:39] <adamlinux> how to i create one tar.gz source one deb package?
[04:39] <jramsey> kristian, post the msg on the pastebin then paste the link here
[04:39] <erUSUL> Barkley: --bzip2 looks redundant you used j already
[04:39] <wheels351972> Jack:  is there ANY distro that will work with a broadcomm
[04:39] <nofx_br> easiest way to put KDE here... ? gnome sux
[04:39] <skavenge> wheels351972: you cant use ndiswrapper? i thought the kernel module bcm43xx was just broken
[04:40] <rtux> jramsey... I believe that perhaps Kristian had the same problem
[04:40] <rtux> check this on the forum:

[04:40] <hikenboot_> hello all---I have managed to get pxe booting of rdp clients thru xnest sessions to a ubuntu box..It works great however I am worried about the network load 70 users would put on the network in the mornings each is downloading about 30 megabyte...Is there multicasting pxe booting available or should i use somthing more efficient or compresssion?
[04:40] <wheels351972> I have tried a bunch of things but then again I am still new.
[04:40] <nofx_br> tnx man
[04:40] <skavenge> my nic is broadcom based running fine with ndiswrapper
[04:40] <jramsey> kristian, check out rtux link
[04:40] <kristian> right
[04:41] <tanlaan> where might one find the python library, if you installed python through synaptic? python2.4
[04:42] <Jack_Sparrow> wheels351972: Have you read this ...http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=99486&highlight=bcm43
[04:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Looks like it should work
[04:42] <jrib> tanlaan: python should be installed.  What exactly are you looking for?
[04:42] <LeeT91> hi
[04:42] <kristian> jramsey, that's not the message I got
[04:42] <erUSUL> tanlaan: which python library?
[04:43] <LeeT91> Hi, how do I change a removable drive's label in Ubuntu Linux?
[04:43] <jramsey> kristian, ok paste ur msg
[04:43] <jramsey> !pastebin
[04:43] <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)
[04:43] <kristian> The updater showed me a message, I don't know how to find it now, but something I had to install/update and edit...
[04:43] <dr_willis> LeeT91,  whats the file system?
[04:43] <LeeT91> FAT32
[04:43] <nofx_br> wow..200mb kde... sit and wait.. he he... and about Xgl, E, what you guys think ? E17..cool on ubuntu?
[04:43] <jramsey> kristian, do u still have the msg?
[04:43] <dr_willis> LeeT91,  use the mtools perhaps.
[04:43] <LeeT91> it's an external 250GB HDD
[04:44] <LeeT91> How do I get to mtools?
[04:44] <kristian> jramsey, no sorry...
[04:44] <dr_willis> !info mtools
[04:44] <ubotu> mtools: Tools for manipulating MSDOS files. In repository main, is optional. Version 3.9.9-2.1ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 191 kB, installed size 468 kB
[04:44] <tanlaan> well im trying to install "nakedmud", and while trying to "make" it it came up with errors, and the start file *one giving directions on how to use it* told me to change another file
[04:44] <tanlaan> in that file it told me to change part of a variable to the directory of the python library
[04:44] <dr_willis> LeeT91,  or pop it on a windows machine and relabel it.. i dident think a fat32 drive could be 250gb large
[04:44] <LeeT91> Neither did I
[04:44] <jramsey> kristian, ok say again what u can recall the msg was
[04:44] <LeeT91> I thought it was 32Gb Max?
[04:45] <dr_willis> LeeT91,  i wouldent trust it too much then. :P somthing seems.. odd.
[04:45] <tanlaan> to find the library it told me to goto my python directory /usr/lib/python2.4 and type in find . -name "libpython*a" -print
[04:45] <LeeT91> Its always worked, it works fine but I just dont like the label
[04:45] <tanlaan> once i did that it came up with nothing
[04:45] <tanlaan> thats why im here asking'
[04:46] <kristian> jramsey, I had to update a restricted module file, and edit something, the file was written with BIG TEXT.
[04:46] <kristian> jramsey, I can remove the to files I installed, and then the updater will find the files and download-install, then maybe the msg will come again?
[04:46] <LeeT91> Hard Disk   233.76 GiB Partitions>Partition 1: /dev/sda1 ; Windows Virtual FAT (vfat) Access Path : /media/LARGEDRV
[04:46] <rtux> kristian does X11 xorg.conf ring a bell?
[04:47] <LeeT91> I dont like the label LARGDRV
[04:47] <jramsey> kristian, yeah you're gonna need to post the exact msg; sry dude
[04:47] <da_dave> hey, where do i know from how to update to dapper?
[04:47] <kristian> rtux, No it was not xorg.conf..
[04:47] <Warbo> !upgrade
[04:47] <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.
[04:48] <rtux> ok.. try to paste the error message as he said, it will cut the problem short.
[04:48] <rtux> jramsey do you have any idea how my problem could be fixed?
[04:48] <Stormx2> zomg I got my cd and they inclosed STICKERS!
[04:48] <Stormx2> cds*
[04:48] <kristian> when I search for fglrx in synaptic, i find many files... But there is TWO files to remove. I don't remember which:P
[04:48] <jramsey> rtux, hold on lemme scroll back sry
[04:48] <Warbo> !ati
[04:48] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:49] <rtux> take your time jramsey
[04:49] <rtux> kristian.. Last time I removed fglrx I regretted it.
[04:49] <Warbo> Hmm, my monitor isn't made by ATI :)
[04:49] <jramsey> rtux, ur running dapper?
[04:49] <Jack_Sparrow> LeeT91: Did you fix that yet?
[04:49] <rtux> Take care, if you do that, don't reboot until you replace the drivers with another one.
[04:49] <rtux> Yes I am
[04:49] <LeeT91> What's the syntax with MTOOLS to change the drive label of /dev/sda1 (mounted at /media/LARGEDRV)?
[04:50] <LeeT91> hello?
[04:50] <LeeT91> What's the syntax with MTOOLS to change the drive label of /dev/sda1 (mounted at /media/LARGEDRV)?
[04:50] <kristian> rtux, regretted? My english are really bad...:P
[04:50] <KenSentMe> !patience
[04:50] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[04:50] <jramsey> rtux, are you building the ati dvr from source? you sure you have the distro here => `/home/rtux/install_files/ati'
[04:50] <ideogram> one thing I found annoying about Ubuntu is I tried to not install some updated packages (games and themes) but it kept popping up a notification that updates were available so I had to give in and install them
[04:50] <rtux> regretted means "I wish I never did that" :)
[04:51] <Jack_Sparrow> LeeT91: I have never used Mtools, but you could gksudo nautilus from term and edit the fstab that way
[04:51] <kristian> rtux, Ok thanx:)
[04:51] <rtux> Yes yes.. I have the .run file
[04:51] <nofx_br> any tips with the logitech 510 mouse ? it is fast but not precise... i cant find a good config for it... and use all the buttons too
[04:51] <LeeT91> I don't understand that - im new to linux
[04:51] <Warbo> ideogram: You can change that in the software preferences I think (or tell it to get them automatically, which will also get rid of the message)
[04:51] <dr_willis> nofx_br,  i saw some info on those kind of mice on the Gentoo wiki's   :)
[04:51] <ideogram> oh well I just installed it so didn't know that
[04:52] <Warbo>  /media isn't handled by fstab
[04:52] <bjohnson> what iso should I use to install ubuntu on a existing multiboot system (mixture of linux and windows paritions)
[04:52] <Jack_Sparrow> LeeT91: The file you need to edit is /etc/fstab
[04:52] <LeeT91> kk
[04:52] <nofx_br> dr_willis: gentoo wiki.. ok.. try to find something tnx
[04:52] <LeeT91> It's an external HDD
[04:52] <dr_willis> nofx_br,  they had a lot of info on my Mx518
[04:53] <nofx_br> dr_willis: my is the mx510.. should be too different
[04:53] <nofx_br> what you did ?
[04:53] <LeeT91> fstab isn't in /etc?
[04:53] <kristian> is there a log for Update Manager? Maybe I can see the msg there..?
[04:53] <Warbo> bjohnson: The desktop CD may be OK, but if you want to be certain then the alternate CD should usually work (but you lose GUI goodness). Also, install GRUB onto a partition, NOT the MBR (then add a chainloader entry to the GRUB which is already on the MBR to get it to boot your new GRUB)
[04:53] <tritium> LeeT91: it is
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> LeeT91: My bad...
[04:53] <LeeT91> fonts - foomatic, no other F's
[04:53] <rtux> LeeT91 this is what you write on the command line: sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[04:53] <LeeT91> k
[04:54] <bjohnson> Warbo: thnx
[04:54] <zhan> hello~
[04:54] <Warbo> LeeT91: I think it is HAL or Gnome-Volume_manager or something which controls the entries in /media. The only way I know to change them is to add them to fstab yourself and bypass HAL (although this isn't very good for removable drives)
[04:55] <jpgvietnam> hi
[04:55] <LeeT91> I've got fstab open
[04:55] <LeeT91> it's /dev/sda1 so...
[04:55] <stelki> Anybody else having problems with X crashing due to some glibc problem? happens while using firefox
[04:56] <LeeT91> /dev/sda1        /media/ExtHDD  auto    rw,user,noauto ?
[04:56] <ManOwaR`> Hello. Is there any repositories for Gnome 2.15 ?
[04:56] <Warbo> LeeT91: The easiest way to add an entry is to copy one which is already there, but change the values to what you want (although fstab is ONLY used at boot, or when called manually. It won't detect if you plug/unplug your USB drive)
[04:56] <LeeT91> Damn
[04:56] <LeeT91> what can I do then
[04:56] <rtux> jramsey are you still there?
[04:57] <LeeT91> It's a vfat / Windows Virtual FAT drive
[04:57] <jramsey> rtux yeah i am looking on the wike and google; you are not alone in ur problem
[04:57] <LeeT91> 233.74GiB
[04:57] <finalbeta> !sound
[04:57] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[04:57] <thesonork> is there some kind of list which dlls i need for wine to run all the common sutff, cause i dont use winetools cause it damages my wine i think
[04:57] <rtux> oh my god.. are you sure?
[04:57] <dr_willis> i though i just used the right click/properties/items - ti rename the drive  on my usb drives LeeT91  and it kept the new name.
[04:57] <Reijk|CAGS> Hi, im having trouble with software raid 1, i can boot the kernel , then "mdam /dev/md0 hasbeen stardted with 2 drives.", same for md1 and md2
[04:57] <finalbeta> Does someone have an URL explaining exactly how sound works in Ubuntu? (not a troubleshooting guide)
[04:57] <Reijk|CAGS> then there can be mounted
[04:57] <tritium> thesonork: it doesn't damage wine.  It simply assists in setting up your personal config files
[04:57] <jramsey> rtux, what ati graphics chipset do u have?
[04:57] <wheelswitch> silly i know, but i have lost the network manger icon up in the top right hand corner, how do i get it back?
[04:58] <LeeT91> On the Properties the Name field is non-editable
[04:58] <rtux> Alastor Radeon ATI 9700 pro (R300)
[04:58] <KenSentMe> finalbeta: what do you want to know about sound?
[04:58] <PDani> hi
[04:58] <thesonork> tritium, on my opinion i just assists wine to crash and to have it reinstalled
[04:58] <Warbo> LeeT91: "gksudo nautilus"
[04:58] <thesonork> it*
[04:59] <PDani> how can i determine the distribution type of a linux system froma  bash-script?
[04:59] <KenSentMe> wheelswitch: right click on the menu bar, select add and choose the applet you want to add
[04:59] <Reijk|CAGS> mount: Mounting dev md1 on /root failed: no such device
[04:59] <Reijk|CAGS> any suggestions?
[04:59] <PDani> at least, decide between ubuntu or debian...
[04:59] <LeeT91> ah
[04:59] <LeeT91> its editable now
[04:59] <LeeT91> THANKS!
[04:59] <Warbo> WINETools is illegal isn't it? (Since it gets Idiot Exploiter which you are only allowed to use in Windows)
[05:00] <LeeT91> Wait.
[05:00] <Hudson_H> stefg: back,and in the live part its workable,must i dont be so noob as i am,i will reinstall it directly,but needet a lot of help to get erverythong working,:(
[05:00] <finalbeta> KenSentMe, ubuntu seems to be using Alsa, but I have applications using OSS. I see a program called Metacity, and two proccesses called ESD. How does it all work together. Because for my TV card I need to use SOX. That is OSS, and it gives me 5.1 sound, on alsa I get 2.5 or something sound.
[05:00] <thesonork> Warbo, is it?
[05:00] <Toma-> Warbo: only if you dont own a windows licnese
[05:00] <rtux> LeeT91
[05:00] <thesonork> alright
[05:00] <Stormx2> guys buy some CDs off shipit. They give you free stickers! it makes using ubuntu all worthwhile
[05:00] <LeeT91> ye rtux
[05:00] <finalbeta> KenSentMe, it looks like an awfull mess to me, I almost understand how the things work, but not how they all work together.
[05:00] <thesonork> so there is no list or something ?
[05:00] <dsah> I can't get my internet working :(
[05:00] <jramsey> rtux, does linux start in text mode? i mean is it usable?
[05:00] <Toma-> Warbo: alot of people do, since most OEM PC's have windows pre-installed
[05:00] <Warbo> thesonork: I'm not sure (there's nothing really wrong in running it, just that it may be hard to get hold of) WINEDoors is a newer effort
[05:01] <wheelswitch> KenSentMe, haha, that was the password at the start of lesuire suit larry, anyway, network manager is not listed in those items, to add to the bar.
[05:01] <rtux> You mean at startup? Yes it's text mode.. but then Gnome opens
[05:01] <LeeT91> Microsoft do a magazine to PC retailers urging them not to let a customer go without a preinstall of Windows
[05:01] <Warbo> Toma-: I thought the point was that you aren't allowed to run IE in a non-M$ environment, even Mac or something
[05:01] <jramsey> rtux, is gnome usable?
[05:01] <thesonork> Warbo, winedoors? never heard of *stupid me* where to get that one?
[05:01] <stefg> Hudson_H: this only proves something broken in the /etc/fstab or so... you could as well try a fix
[05:01] <kristian> If followed the howto to install ati driver, i did down till "sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv". After that i did "sudo dpkg reconfigure xserver xorg" . I choosed Ati. Do I have xorg. conf now? And what happend when I selected ati as the driver in reconfigure?
[05:01] <Toma-> Warbo: nah
[05:01] <rtux> Yes.. now it is, after I restored fglrx
[05:01] <rtux> I uninstalled it due to that documentation page.. and then I got stuck in a black terminal..
[05:01] <dsah> how does one get ethernet to work? :P
[05:01] <rtux> until I fail safed..
[05:01] <Warbo> thesonork: I think wine-doors.org , but last I checked it was still heavily in alpha
[05:01] <LeeT91> "Sorry, couldn't rename LARGDRV to ExtHDD"
[05:02] <Hudson_H> stefg: ok thats sounds a bit more hopefull,but where do u find the fix that i need,or bether what fix do i need?
[05:02] <reiki> I'll be assembling a new machine soon. Completely different processor, video card, etc. Only reusing hard drive and optical. Will I be better off just doing a complete reinstall of Ubuntu?
[05:02] <thesonork> Warbo, well i think it will be better using that instead of DL'ing all the dlls and stuff one-by-one
[05:02] <Reijk|CAGS> Hi, im having trouble with software raid 1, i can boot the kernel , then "mdam /dev/md0 hasbeen stardted with 2 drives.", same for md1 and md2, then there cant be mounted. mount: Mounting dev md1 on /root failed: no such device

[05:05] <voyage34> thanks Ng
[05:05] <KenSentMe> !patience > tanlaan
[05:05] <Hudson_H> stefg: in fstab i didn't saw the partition,but there i started gparted again,and it gave the info of my partitions correct
[05:05] <Hobbsee> adamant1988: sudo apt-get remove libqt3-mt
[05:05] <tanlaan> kensentme: sorry :(
[05:06] <LeeT91> I can't rename the /media/LARGEDRV -> "Sorry, couldn't rename "LARGEDRV" to "TEST"
[05:06] <Warbo> tanlaan: That looks very specific (especially the lack of a configure script) so you would need to find someone who has tried that specific piece of software
[05:06] <kristian> What drivers do i remove to remove fglrx?
[05:06] <Hudson_H> Jack_Sparrow: my response is a bit late,but the problem is not in the fstab
[05:06] <tanlaan> warbo: ok, thank you
[05:06] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[05:06] <adamant1988> Hobbsee, will that remove all the kde packages? (including the programs that I use like ktorrent?)
[05:06] <rtux> LeeT91.. did you find out the solution? Please tell me because I want to know that ;)
[05:07] <dr_willis> yummy
[05:07] <LeeT91> I still havn't figured it out
[05:07] <Hobbsee> adamant1988: yes...
[05:07] <stefg> Hudson_H: something went wrong, no doubt... but i don't have the instinct of being able to tell you what from a + 2000 km distance :-)
[05:07] <hareem> i need some help guys. Can any one tell me how i can setup ubuntu to act as a kiosk
[05:07] <adamant1988> I want to keep some of the programs though...  I just want the desktop files removed.
[05:07] <rtux> Shame. Nobody knows how to label a hard-drive? That's a good reason to switch to XP :P
[05:07] <adamant1988> the stuff that could be causing this odd behavior
[05:08] <thesonork> umm damn only able to get it via svn >_>
[05:08] <Warbo> adamant1988: You could use aptitude (sudo aptitude) which will let you go through the list of what is to be removed and you can press colon to keep some of them
[05:08] <terror__> Hay algn juego tipo Sonic para LInux?
[05:08] <Jack_Sparrow> rtux: Want me to walk you through it..
[05:08] <adamant1988> it would probably be easier to take down a list and reinstall the ones I want... wouldn't it?
[05:08] <stefg> !es
[05:08] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[05:08] <Hudson_H> stefg: i don't blame u,but like u pointed out the problem is in te dmesg and there i don't have a clue to fix something
[05:09] <hareem> hi. any one know how to make ubuntu into a public kiosk.
[05:09] <rtux> Yeah, I will be glad to Mr. Jack_Sparrow

[05:09] <dr_willis> hareem,  with firefox?
[05:09] <Jack_Sparrow> rtux: go to terminal  type gksudo nautilus
[05:09] <Huh1> Hey. I'm running Dapper Drake with Gnome. Since I've installed some multimedia stuff in automatix my sound isn't working anymore properly, i.e. on youtube I get no sound as well as in beep media player. I got the totem movie player back with sound by reinstalling all those gstreamer plugins. is this a known bug?

[05:09] <stefg> Hudson_H: but let the drives be mounted in /media and only symlink them to your home-dir..
[05:09] <rtux> did it
[05:09] <Warbo> adamant1988: If you go in aptitude, use "/" to search and put in "kubuntu-desktop" then press "-" to remove it, press "g" to "go", then look through the list of packages to be removed. Deselect some, then press "g" again and it will remove what is selected
[05:09] <hareem> but if i use firefox kiosk would it allow the user to use openoffice etc
[05:09] <Ng> Huh1: it's unfortunately a bit late now, but automatix is mostly junk and worth avoiding
[05:10] <Jack_Sparrow> rtux:  browse to /media after hitting the up arrow til it greys out
[05:10] <dr_willis> hareem,  thats not really a koisk then :)
[05:10] <Jack_Sparrow> rtux:  then rename it
[05:10] <Ng> Huh1: there is a channel for it though, I think, #automatix
[05:10] <stefg> Hudson_H: so if you didn't customize too much, maybe a reinstall is the least pain
[05:10] <rtux> I am in media now
[05:10] <Hudson_H> stefg: i don't get why u keep pointing that direction,it worked fine like it stood there,ok its not nice,but cleaning up i can do later
[05:10] <Jack_Sparrow> right click rename
[05:10] <AntiWindows> Jack_Sparrow it wont let me : Error, cannot rename.......
[05:11] <hareem> well basically i need to setup ubuntu for public access. But i dont want people snopping into admin section of the os
[05:11] <Jack_Sparrow> anti, did you enter your user password when asked
[05:11] <Warbo> Huh1: Youtube uses Flash, and theproprietary Flash player steals the sound card, so it has to be started when nothing else is making a noise, and then you can't use anything else with sound until you close the youtube window
[05:11] <rtux> Jack_Sparrow thank you so much :)
[05:11] <tritium> Huh1: automatix should be avoided
[05:11] <Hudson_H> stefg: i needed a lot of help to get my graphics working en to be able to listen to the music on that particular drive that i now can't acces anymore
[05:11] <AntiWindows> Yes
[05:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Glad to help
[05:11] <Jack_Sparrow> AntiWindows:  It works for me and rtux..
[05:11] <dr_willis> hareem,  kde has some very advanced 'lockdown' features that can limit what users can do. but it takes some learning and twidling with the config files.. Not sure if gnome has same features or not
[05:12] <Huh1> I know now that automatix is utter bullshit.
[05:12] <AntiWindows> Looking in the terminal: ** (nautilus:16474): WARNING **: Hit unhandled case 32 (Directory busy) in fm_report_error_renaming_file
[05:12] <Jack_Sparrow> AntiWindows:  try again slowly
[05:12] <rtux> Jack_Sparrow I am afraid to tell you that this was no the problem I was experiencing, I had another problem which I will be happy if take a look.
[05:12] <Huh1> but well I did it back then.
[05:12] <tritium> Huh1: yes, but please watch the language here
[05:12] <Huh1> so how do I get my sound back properly

[05:12] <tritium> Huh1: your sound problem is one of the reasons we don't recommend or support automatix.  It can break your system.
[05:12] <nofx_br>  I still dont get this no root user... i'm using my account with privileges...and I have to enter this acc pass again to install and admin stuff...
[05:12] <nofx_br> ok.... is this the correct ? I made another user acc for me, but I have to login in this one to do stuff! so pretty boring

[05:13] <Jack_Sparrow> rtux:  I though you just wanted to rename your fat32 drive
[05:13] <dr_willis> hareem,   it can do everything. :P you just got to learn to use what tools are out to do the job you want to do.
[05:13] <AntiWindows> Can anyone help me? Trying to rename my vfat drive and: ** (nautilus:16474): WARNING **: Hit unhandled case 32 (Directory busy) in fm_report_error_renaming_file

[05:13] <rtux> No, I was just asking this problem for LeeT91.. she wanted that.
[05:13] <KenSentMe> hareem: add a new user through System - Administratio - Users and groups
[05:13] <AntiWindows> I'm a he
[05:13] <Jack_Sparrow> AntiWindows:  do you have something from that drive open?
[05:13] <AntiWindows> No I don't
[05:14] <hareem> i know i can limit user access in the GUI under the add user thingy. But the problem now is how can i get users to log off at a specific time
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> AntiWindows:  looks like something is using it..
[05:14] <AntiWindows> I can turn it off and on again if you like
[05:14] <nofx_br> so the good practice is make another acc for me in the admin group
[05:14] <AntiWindows> Off...
[05:14] <AntiWindows> On...
[05:14] <Warbo> hareem: You could maybe do that with Cron?
[05:14] <hareem> ok
[05:14] <tritium> nofx_br: only one is needed
[05:14] <Warbo> nofx_br: The point of sudo is that you only need one account per user
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> rtux:  did she get it ok?
[05:14] <AntiWindows> Still don't work
[05:15] <spatieman> problem: I just installed Ubuntu 6 on my new machine, on the harddrive there is also a version of Window ,i am using a bootmanager to switch between window and Ubuntu, with ubuntu 5.10 i had to install a lilo for correct booting Ubuntu, but Ubuntu 6 installes grub, and after creating a new login on the boot manager, the boot manager refuses to load the new ubuntu setup, how do i force ubuntu to install a lilo for correct loading ubuntu true

[05:15] <stefg> no
[05:15] <dr_willis> tich,  depends on How you made it under xp.
[05:15] <NotWorking-ImAHe> Why does it say something is using it?
[05:15] <rtux> Jack_Sparrow I think she already left the chatroom.. anyway. I will tell you my question, see if you can do something about it.
[05:15] <dr_willis> tich,  could try mounting it as a udf file system

[05:17] <Ng> paulvolk: it may work fine for some people, but for others it just causes more problems than it solves
[05:17] <rtux> paulvolk I don't recommend automatix. Not that it's not good, but maybe it just installs everything and it might cause future problems.
[05:17] <tritium> paulvolk: do you trust every website you read?
[05:17] <Warbo> Ng: Like Win XP SP2 :)
[05:17] <TanitoARG> tritium, sure? .. but not only php apache module .. I need php stand alone  binaries

[05:17] <Reijk|CAGS> here same problem posted on forum but no reply's with a solution

[05:17] <tritium> TanitoARG: there are a ton of packages
[05:18] <tich> warbo, it isn't corrupt i checked it on a XP machine.
[05:18] <TanitoARG> tritium, Where? .. I installed "apt-get install php5" and I have no "php" executable in my PC ... only apache modules..
[05:18] <Warbo> tich: Just my experience

Could someone give me an example, how the link must look like that the command 'gcc' is always redirected to 'gcc-4.0'?
[05:18] <nofx_br> TanitoARG: but php is an apache module
[05:18] <Ng> TanitoARG: you probably need php5-cli
[05:18] <tritium> default: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[05:18] <TanitoARG> Ng, ok... that could be...
[05:19] <Warbo> default: "sudo apt-get install build-essential"
[05:19] <Ng> TanitoARG: by default it will just install the apache module, as you noticed
[05:19] <rtux> Sparrow... you still there?

[05:20] <Stormx2> zomg stickers :D:D
[05:20] <Kennie> does Ubuntu have trouble with software raid?

[05:20] <twa1296> Warbo: i have a fat32 on my hd that i want to delete and merge into an existing ext3, so should be fine?
[05:20] <Warbo> Jack_Sparrow: Wow, that might have been useful to me 2 years ago :)
[05:20] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[05:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Usefull for people trying to burn Ub disks..
[05:21] <Warbo> twa1296: Yes. The command to resize ext2 (if you are doing it manually) fills the partition by default, which makes growing it easy (or you can use GParted I think)
[05:21] <twa1296> Warbo: i see, thanks
[05:22] <rtux> Is there any Linux Gurus here? :)
[05:22] <Ng> rtux: ask your question and find out

[05:23] <Ng> rtux: I'm no ati expert, unfortunately
[05:23] <rtux> Ng this was the written advice on the documentation page

[05:24] <rtux> you will know why I wrote that.
[05:24] <Warbo> rtux: You know I have not seen fglrx driver in module assistant, are you sure that is possible to do?

[05:25] <Jack_Sparrow> rtux:  I have no idea.. HAving a blond day her..
[05:25] <rtux> man I am a total linux newbie. I know nothing about drivers modules etc.
[05:25] <Warbo> rtux: Just run "sudo m-a" then look in "select" and see if there is any fglrx driver

[05:26] <nofx_br> where ubuntu mounts one samba share I have opened in nautilus?
[05:26] <Trae> Warbo, ahhh thanks
[05:26] <rtux> Warbo I don't find it in Select
[05:26] <spatieman> should be in the MBR, but my boot manager is master of the MBR.
[05:27] <Ng> nofx_br: it doesn't, they are accessed using gnome-vfs, which is a virtual filesystem
[05:27] <dr_willis> nofx_br,  it dosent as far as i know. it just scans the share and shows the info.,   'smb4k' can actually mount the shares
[05:27] <Warbo> rtux: Yeah, neither do I. That's why I am unsure that it is possible to do in module assistant (but I always use it for nvidia)
[05:27] <nofx_br> ahh I see....smbmount // so...
[05:27] <spatieman> the question is than, can i force ubunto to install a lilo on the / partition so CAG can start ubuntu
[05:27] <nofx_br> there is a way to acess trought bash without mouting?
[05:27] <Warbo> spatieman: sudo apt-get install lilo ?
[05:27] <dr_willis> nofx_br,  not that i know of.
[05:27] <tich> is there any advice for why my dvd won't read a data disk? (it reads movie disks fine)
[05:27] <rtux> Warbo did you check the documentation link provided in my thread? Please check it and see it, maybe that page is buggy.

[05:28] <nofx_br> cool
[05:28] <cntb> sudo apt-get install lynx
[05:28] <Ng> nofx_br: there are some gnome-vfs command line tools, but generally it'd probably be easier to mount it

[05:28] <Larsson-Sweden> My swap partition is being used by Ubuntu. Is this a bad thing?
[05:28] <mc-rpg> someone knows what is the font of ubuntu logo, is for an artwokr im planning to do

[05:29] <nofx_br> hummm i think samba isnt installed.... that other command  mount  smb ... something like... will work
[05:29] <spatieman> ollala
[05:29] <vimemo> k tal?
[05:29] <jramsey> Larsson-Sweden, the swap partition is owned by Ubuntu; you want it to use the swap partition
[05:29] <spatieman> on the install CD i hope :)
[05:29] <Warbo> rtux: Well I have never tried that method, but I have run the ATI program and generated some .deb files from it and they worked OK, no module assistant needed (I think that is to make them update when you update your kernel. Without module assistant you would need to reinstall after a kernel upgrade)
[05:29] <Larsson-Sweden> jramsey, Ok, so it's not a bad thing at all? I think Open office is stealing some RAM for me.
[05:30] <Larsson-Sweden> *from
[05:30] <nofx_br> samba is here... why tehre isn't smbmount ?? hehehe
[05:30] <jramsey> Larsson-Sweden, nah it's a good thing other than it may be an indication you need more RAM but OO is a RAM hog anyway
[05:30] <HorzA> is it possible to check the cpu temperature through console?
[05:30] <Larsson-Sweden> jramsey, thanks!
[05:30] <jramsey> Larsson-Sweden, yw
[05:30] <rtux> I get some of what you say. Warbo, I have the .run ATI file can you give me some commands to use to make the .deb files and get it installed without module assitant?
[05:30] <nofx_br> HorzA: i wanna know this too
[05:30] <Trae> Warbo, thanks again. :)
[05:31] <joyce> hi
[05:31] <joyce> anyone here
[05:31] <Warbo> rtux: Usually "sudo ./<whatever>.run" will do it, and that will make some .deb files (depending on what you tell it) then "sudo dpkg -i <whatever>.deb" will install a deb
[05:31] <Schamane> moin
[05:32] <rtux> So I do those respectively and then they will be installed and replace any existing drivers?
[05:32] <Warbo> rtux: I don't know about replacing. You should probably uninstall any that are already installed first
[05:32] <joyce> hey man
[05:33] <haze76> hello
[05:33] <haze76> I cannot install Ubuntu on a Apple iBook 700 mhz, because I am unable to change the screen resolution to more than 640x480, and the installer window is bigger than that. Any ideas?
[05:34] <rtux> uninstalling drivers seems risky to me, the last time I did that I was stuck in X-Windows. Actually the existing drivers are ATI drivers fglrx so I wouldn't think it would be any harm to leave them.
[05:34] <Warbo> haze76: You could tell the GUI to use something like 1024x768, then press ctrl-alt-+ to "zoom in" and get a smaller resolution, but with a screen larger than your display
[05:35] <Warbo> rtux: There is no point removing "ati" drivers, only "radeon" or older "fglrx" ones

[05:39] <rtux> I know.. that's the problem.
[05:39] <spatieman> RTUX: I have a 80GB SATAn HD for my OS's ,I installed the CAG Boot manager so that i can switch betwean windows and ubuntu ,Booting to windows works ok, but the manager seems not to handle the GRUB loader for ubuntu ,so it cant load ubuntu
[05:40] <Warbo> rtux: Try the "other"
[05:40] <spatieman> RTUX: On ubuntu 5.10 i could force to isntall the LILO so ,the boot manager can handle it
[05:40] <Warbo> spatieman: If you want lilo boot into a LiveCD (and talk to me, not rtux :))
[05:40] <rtux> spatieman calm :) I am a newbie like you. But all I know is that the Grub that comes with Ubuntu is enough to dual boot with windows
[05:40] <spatieman> oh ,sorry !!!!!!
[05:41] <reb42> how do you remove the kubuntu splash - unistall kubuntu-artwork or what?
[05:41] <Jemt> Greetz. I been having a weird problem. When I run 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg', I only get the option to set up my Video Card, not the monitor. Why is that ?
[05:41] <rtux> just make sure you install Windows and THEN Ubuntu.
[05:41] <spatieman> WARBO: My humble exuses!
[05:41] <spatieman> Warbo: sorry, i thought he was from the helpdesk
[05:41] <Warbo> spatieman: You can boot into a LiveCD then mount your ubuntu system
[05:41] <haze76> Warbo: The problem is that it seems impossible for me to make the GUI be anything but 640x480. Can you zoom in, but not out?
[05:41] <Warbo> spatieman: That lets you access it without booting it, so you can install lilo
[05:42] <skavenge> haze76: push comes to shove the alternate install cd uses a text install ..
[05:42] <spatieman> Warbo, me n00b, how to mount ?
[05:42] <rtux> Warbo I know you've got pressure on you now. Feel free to take a rest whenever you want ;)
[05:42] <haze76> skavenge: thats what I have to do I think
[05:42] <Warbo> spatieman: "sudo mount /dev/<whatever your partition is> /mnt"
[05:42] <spatieman> moment.
[05:43] <kristian> fakeroot sh ./ati-driver-installer-<version>.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/dapper, How do I use this? <version> should be switched with 8.26.18 ... But still I write wrong?
[05:43] <Warbo> Dammit, seems I got sunburned from riding my bike to pick up a CD :(
[05:43] <reb42> how do you remove the kubuntu splash - unistall kubuntu-artwork or what?
[05:43] <nofx_br> what is wrong? sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=Guest //192.168.8.1/torrents /mnt/whata     "wrong fs type"
[05:43] <reb42> Warbo: an ubuntu cd?
[05:43] <spatieman> sunburn not good!
[05:43] <Surfer> I'm configuring kernel and don't know if I should include HPET in kernel or not... now when I boot Ubuntu on my laptop everything freezes when the line with HPET [something]  high-res timesources [something]  appears, the only way to boot system is adding acpi=off. Maybe there is something wrong with HPET? I have ASUS laptop with Celeron M420 processor... Can anyone help me?
[05:44] <Warbo> reb42: Sort of, I need a custom bootCD to run my system (and I left it at my Dad's house)
[05:44] <haze76> skavenge: however, this means that the final install will be severely crippled as well.
[05:44] <rtux> After choosing "Packages for other Distributions" a message comes out that says: "To generate packages for distributions other than RedHat and SusE, restart the installer from the command line with the --listpkg option to view the complete list of generatable packages. The use the --buildpkg option to build a package from the list. The --listpkg option provides instructions for using --buildpkg. Warbo
[05:44] <skavenge> haze76: at least then it would get installed and you could edit the x server config manually to your screen size if it still didnt detect it after an install
[05:44] <haze76> The only Linux flavor that works well with Macs seems to be Yellow Dog, but I really dislike their style, so I want to use eithet Ubuntu, or Fedora if that does not work well
[05:45] <reb42> to answer my own ?: remove kubuntu-artwork-usplash
[05:45] <Warbo> rtux: Then do that (run "sudo sh <whatever>.run --listpkg")
[05:45] <Ro1> i have my ubuntu distro like perfect now, how can i save this ...i mean like up make a rescue disk or somethingl ike that
[05:45] <reb42> haze76: what doesnt work well?
[05:45] <Warbo> Yellow Dog seemed to be a PowerPC Fedora, then Fedora embraced PowerPC themselves (and nicked YD's package manager :))
[05:46] <haze76> reb42: After booting the ppc LiveCD, I am unable to change the screen resolution to anything but 640x480, the option is not available in the control panel Screen Resolution. Therefore, I cannot install Ubuntu, since the installer window is too large to fit in 640x480
[05:46] <haze76> Yellow Dog has really nice drivers for Macs, why cant the other PPC Linux flavors "steal" it? Proprietary?
[05:46] <reb42> haze76: you can grab the window with alt to move it
[05:47] <Surfer> Should HPET be in kernel or not?
[05:47] <Warbo> haze76: Try the alternate CD (you can use alt-leftclick to drag a window around, but the GNOME panel stops it. Myabe turn off the panel?)
[05:47] <haze76> reb42: I cant move it  in such a way that the bottom of the window becomes visible, therefore I cannot press "next"
[05:47] <reb42> haze76: and when you get installed i can help you find the right xorg settings for higher resolution
[05:47] <Warbo> spatieman: Are you in a LiveCD with your system mounted at all?
[05:47] <kristian> SOmeone help me with this? "fakeroot sh ./ati-driver-installer-<version>.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/dapper" and switch version with the version of the ati installer! But when I have done that, it dosen't work! Can't find file directory........
[05:47] <reb42> haze76: not even grabbing it with alt?
[05:47] <haze76> Warbo: I am downloading the alternative CD now
[05:48] <nofx_br> how do you guys mount a samba share ? ?
[05:48] <Warbo> haze76: remove the top panel and try again
[05:48] <haze76> reb42: holding alt and grabbing it you mean? I will try that ASAP and tell you what happens
[05:48] <haze76> Thanks a lot by the way
[05:48] <spatieman> Warbo: I was..
[05:48] <Warbo> spatieman: Just wondering if you still wanted some help
[05:48] <haze76> I tried removing the top panel, it's not enough
[05:48] <spatieman> i am ,

[05:48] <reb42> haze76: sure, i think that will work and when you get installed come back and we can try to get full resolution
[05:48] <Warbo> spatieman: OK, so do you have your Ubuntu partition mounted on /mnt?
[05:49] <spatieman> but i had to find out if it was /etc5 or /etc6
[05:49] <rtux> Warbo tell me how to use pastebin so I can paste the outcome.

[05:50] <Warbo> spatieman: So it is mounted somewhere? (/mnt?)
[05:50] <signifer123> ?
[05:50] <Warbo> Wow, such simple instructions as wel.....
[05:50] <haze76> reb42: Excellent. Mac OS X, the best OS (but commercial), Windows (well, just have to have it?) and Ubuntu Linux?
[05:50] <reb42> haze76: yep exactly
[05:51] <reb42> haze76: mac for the novelty, windows for the necessities and linux for everything else
[05:51] <seth_arch> having issues with a printer due to "parallel port busy"
[05:51] <Warbo> Nobody would dual/triple boot a Mac if it wasn't so easy to pirate Windows
[05:51] <haze76> reb42: the TPM chip, I dislike, though.
[05:51] <haze76> (strongly)
[05:51] <reb42> haze76: the new macbooks have them? that sucks
[05:51] <spatieman> Why can just  all boot managers create the proper primeare boot partitions likes the good old OS2 bootmanager :(:(:(:(:(
[05:52] <reb42> haze76: but if you dont use software that harnesses it, no problem right?
[05:52] <haze76> reb42: All the new Intel macs have TPM chips
[05:52] <finalbeta> How come apt-get can be so behind on packages? for LIRC they have a 4 year old version :/
[05:52] <rtux> Warbo the big text entry is the one above my IRC client? Cause I did that and I got disconnected.
[05:52] <nofx_br> windows is currently my video-game..... how annoying
[05:52] <seth_arch> lol
[05:52] <MisterN> hi
[05:52] <Warbo> spatieman: If you do "sudo mount --bind /dev /<wherver ubuntu is mounted>/dev" then "sudo chroot /<wherever ubuntu is mounted>" then you can install lilo
[05:52] <haze76> reb42: I don't know, but I'd like to know what's going on inside my box and not have encrypted stuff or copy control in there
[05:52] <spatieman> nofx_br: i am using windows only for gaming ! :)

[05:53] <haze76> reb42: I still think they are 3-6 years away from their copy control schemes. But I'm still a member of the Swedish Pirate Party.
[05:54] <rtux> Yes, I did it. Thanks ompaul
[05:54] <reb42> haze76: are you from sweden?
[05:54] <Warbo> haze76: Yar!
[05:54] <haze76> reb42: Norway, but I live in Paris. How about you?

[05:55] <rtux> Warbo if you prefer a screenshot I can do it no prob.
[05:55] <sys8976> how goes it everyone?
[05:55] <haze76> reb42: Ill let you know when I've given it a try. It's a complicated question. The party is not against copyright, but for a minimalist version of it or something that fits the information age better.

[05:56] <Frogzoo> kind of a wierd problem been bothering me a couple of days - rss-glx screensavers run really slow in screensaver mode, but run fine when they're run as an executable eg. /usr/lib/xscreensaver/matrixview
[05:56] <haze76> They just call themselves the Pirate Party to get some attention and fight prejudice in a way that has a long history among subjugated peoples
[05:56] <Warbo> reb42: The best way to destroy stupid anti-piracy stuff is to report anyone you know who is pirating things, all of the time. As soon as they are enforced then people will see how bad they actually are and stop using them
[05:56] <rtux> Warbo, I thought it was directly sent to you. Anyway, here it is: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d17095

[05:58] <rtux> reb42 so you're ethical software wise :)
[05:59] <devzer0> hi, i am running ubuntu 6.0 on a Dell Latitude Pentium M 1.5Ghz, i noticed that my clock speed is 600Mhz, i know i can fix this issue in MSWIN in power managment by setting always run, how to i get ubuntu to get the cpu run at 1.5Ghz ?
[05:59] <spatieman> Warbo: i have mounted the correct partition in the liveCD ,i did a cd /mnt ,do i now install the lilo package in it
[05:59] <reb42> rtux: ive only bought two proprietary bits in the past couple years, 1/2 life and civ4
[05:59] <Warbo> rtux: Well, the only thing I can think of at the moment is to put a backslash in front of that slash (so "sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.26.18-x86.run --buildpkg Ubuntu\/6.06"
[05:59] <Jack_Sparrow> reb42: > I put a huge drive in my Tivo and on free Hbo and Showtime weekends I record everything and have enogh to watch until the next free weekend
[05:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry
[06:00] <Warbo> spatieman: You need to do "chroot /mnt" (after binding /dev to /mnt/dev with "sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev")
[06:00] <spatieman> ok
[06:01] <the_t3rminator> rtux: Have you tried setting up the ATI driver on Ubuntu's repos? This tut explains how to do it: http://tazforum.thetazzone.com/viewtopic.php?t=2189
[06:01] <rtux> Warbo if that was the real solution... your IQ would have exceeded 300 :D But I'm sorry, it's the same problem. Don't know what to say, have you given up?
[06:01] <reb42> Jack_Sparrow: i love my DVR
[06:01] <reb42> Jack_Sparrow: you should watch the new blade series on spike its sweet
[06:01] <Warbo> spatieman: Then you need a package of Lilo, copy it into /mnt and install it with "dpkg -i lilo*deb" (no sudo needed)
[06:01] <the_t3rminator> Sorry - joined in later :-p
[06:01] <whyami> devzer0: it will be something like "echo 1600000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed"
[06:01] <Warbo> rtux: I don't really know why it isn't creating the right things. Maybe try "bash" instead of "sh" ?
[06:02] <joel> Hello everyone need help
[06:02] <devzer0> whyami: thank you very much,
[06:02] <joel> I have installed the server version of UBuntu
[06:02] <joel> I want a GUI on it
[06:02] <joel> anyone got a tutorial on how to?
[06:02] <whyami> devzer0: let me know if it works...
[06:02] <rtux> Warbo, maybe it's an ATI package problem or not a true compatibility with Ubuntu.
[06:02] <the_t3rminator> joel - it'll run better without a GUI...
[06:02] <rtux> After all.. Ubuntu 6.06 is brand new ;)
[06:02] <nedss_> joel:  apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[06:02] <joel> T3wminator
[06:02] <Warbo> joel: "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg <whateverGUIyouwant>"
[06:02] <joel> o
[06:03] <devzer0> whyami: does 1600000 represents clock speed in Hz ?
[06:03] <Warbo> rtux: I used it once and it worked (well, the installer did but not the driver :( )
[06:03] <whyami> devzer0: yes
[06:03] <mic__> server irc.newnet.net
[06:03] <joel> maybe you have a better way to help me guys?
[06:03] <devzer0> whyami: thanks
[06:03] <the_t3rminator> ATI driver works fine for me..
[06:03] <joel> I want a LAMP
[06:03] <Warbo> !lamp
[06:03] <ubotu> lamp is a shortcut for Linux-Apache-Mysql-{PHP,Perl,Python}. To setup a LAMP server on Ubuntu, install the packages libapache2-mod-php5, php5-mysql, and mysql-server-5.0. You can also choose 'install a LAMP server' from the server install cd boot menu. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[06:03] <reb42> joel: sure: isntall ubuntu-desktop
[06:03] <joel> I have that running now
[06:03] <reb42> joel: LAMP or ubuntu?
[06:04] <Warbo> ubuntu-desktop seems a little extreme for a server (openoffice?)
[06:04] <joel> uBUNTU
[06:04] <joel> sorry
[06:04] <joel> desktop
[06:04] <the_t3rminator> Warbo: but you can then remove all the packages you don't need..
[06:04] <joel> ubuntu all installed
[06:04] <reb42> joel: you want a full desktop then?
[06:04] <joel> I just cannot configure the LAMP properly
[06:04] <devzer0> whyami: it worked thanks, i guess i will have to add this to rc.local to get it next on boot time ?
[06:04] <reb42> joel: ok im not the one to ask for that
[06:05] <the_t3rminator> joel: what are you trying to do with LAMP which doesn't work?
[06:05] <nedss_> joel: then apt-get install gdm
[06:05] <rtux> Warbo: I will try the site's instructions you sent me and see what happens
[06:05] <Warbo> the_t3rminator: I would prefer the other way around, since there is no waste of space. Dependencies make sure you get all of the libraries and stuff, so just installing gnome-session would be OK (or preferably XFCE)
[06:05] <spatieman> mh, something went wrong,
[06:05] <nedss_> joel: then /ect/init.d/gdm start
[06:05] <joel> gdm?
[06:05] <nedss_> joel: then dpkg-reconfigure-xserver-xorg
[06:05] <whyami> devzer0: you might check out cpufreqd. I use this to automatically control my clock speed depending on battery and whether or not it is plugged in and how hard the CPU is working....
[06:06] <Warbo> brb
[06:06] <the_t3rminator> Warbo: Of course, it's better the other way round. But, if joel is more comfortable with a GUI in the first place and doesn't want to have to install X and a WM, and then tweak them to work, then desktop --> server may be better?
[06:06] <La_PaRCa> How can I make awk NOT print every line from an input file?
[06:06] <devzer0> whyami: thanks for the hint, i will check it out, thanks again for the help.
[06:07] <whyami> devzer0: sure. :-)
[06:07] <JonathanHarford> I'm trying to get wi-fi working on my laptop -- I've installed ndiswrapper and installed the windows drivers. ndiswrapper -l says "driver present" but not "hardware present" can someone give me a hand?
[06:08] <the_t3rminator> JonathanHarford: What card do you have? Or what chipset does it use?
[06:08] <JonathanHarford> Broadcom BCM4318
[06:08] <idefix__> i've got a webmail and it should be able to make it a client-mail, how do I find out what the sending and receiving servers are? that's all the info I need.. I already checked on the website of my e-mail-address...
[06:08] <graveson> is there i can access my ubuntu system remotely (internet) via a windows system .If so ,how
[06:09] <nedss_> graveson:  vnc or ssh?
[06:09] <the_t3rminator> graveson: Google "VNC server"
[06:09] <rtux> Warbo you still there? Check why this command wouldn't work: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d17096
[06:09] <erUSUL> graveson: vnc.
[06:10] <Stormx2> rtux: Cause you've already run it?
[06:10] <nedss_> graveson: or better yet vnc tunnelling w/ ssh
[06:10] <Jack_Sparrow> JonathanHarford:  Have you read through this?
[06:10] <Jack_Sparrow> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=99486&highlight=bcm43
[06:10] <Stormx2> rtux: I guess the --initial flag means it is a setup
[06:10] <the_t3rminator> JonathanHarford: Check out this tut: http://fedoranews.org/mediawiki/index.php/How_To_Install_Your_Broadcom_BCM4318_Using_Ndiswrapper -- It's for Fedora, but you can easily adapt it to work with Ubuntu :)
[06:11] <rtux> Stormx2 so you suggest I skip that comand and go to the other one here? http://tazforum.thetazzone.com/viewtopic.php?t=2189
[06:11] <the_t3rminator> Or what Jack_Sparrow posted ;)
[06:11] <neoXite> hi, anyone tried building the latest asterisk 1.2.9.1 on dapper? it won't build for me..
[06:11] <nedss_> the_t3rminator: ndiswrapper is for fedora?
[06:11] <JonathanHarford> the_t3rminator - that looks tasty, thanks
[06:11] <Stormx2> rtux: Yeah.
[06:11] <allison> I have an old CD-ROM drive that's spouting reset errors in dmesg. Is there a way to tell the kernel to ignore it at boot?
[06:11] <the_t3rminator> nedss_: ndiswrapper can be built from source, so it will work on any distro with the build tools
[06:12] <the_t3rminator> JonathanHarford: No problem ;)
[06:12] <nedss_> the the_t3rminator:  yeah I know that...there is definiteley a pkg for ubuntu
[06:12] <the_t3rminator> allison: Remove the entry from /etc/fstab
[06:12] <rtux> Stormx2 check this now: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d17098
[06:12] <nedss_> lol
[06:13] <the_t3rminator> nedss_: I know. But that tut shows how to configure the driver with ndiswrapper, regardless of the distro
[06:13] <Stormx2> rtux: Right, that seems to have to have worked!
[06:13] <allison> thanks, the_t3rminator
[06:13] <rtux> what do you mean?
[06:13] <the_t3rminator> No problem, allison :)
[06:13] <graveson> thanks guys
[06:13] <rtux> Some errors mean things are working? :)
[06:14] <Stormx2> rtux: The warnings are just letting you know that it won't effect your current X session.
[06:14] <nedss_> the_t3rminator: i got it :)  Just a little slow here ... go to drink more coffee
[06:14] <the_t3rminator> Hehe! No problem, nedss_ - we all have our days ;)
[06:14] <rtux> Ohh.. this linux is frightening if you don't know what you're doing :D
[06:14] <Stormx2> rtux: hehe, well you get used to it ;-)
[06:14] <the_t3rminator> rtux: Aren't all OSs? ;)
[06:14] <nedss_> the_t3rminator: need to ream the whole conversation
[06:15] <nedss_> ream = read
[06:15] <Warbo> rtux: If you mess around with the default system when you don't know what you're doing you mean?
[06:15] <the_t3rminator> nedss_: did I miss something?
[06:15] <rtux> Stormx2 now I say thank you but also maybe a good bye. Cause if the driver didn't work after reboot.. see you from WinXP :)
[06:15] <Stormx2> rtux: Basicly all it has told you is that it won't see the affects of the command until you either reboot or restart X
[06:15] <Stormx2> rtux: hehe ok ;-)
[06:15] <eric256> hey...anyone have an idea why my PC would still fall asleep even when I've changed the cmos power saving settings and the ones in the Power control panel?
[06:15] <rtux> I got it Stormx2
[06:15] <Stormx2> rtux: Good luck!
[06:15] <DJ_Danni> Hello
[06:15] <Stormx2> hi DJ_Danni!
[06:15] <rtux> Warbo: Thanks very much. I will reboot and hopefully come back.
[06:15] <nedss_> the_t3rminator: I need to read the whole conversation :)
[06:15] <idefix__> where do newly downloaded programs appear when I want to add them with "add applications"?
[06:15] <eric256> I also tried killing the gnome-power-* process
[06:16] <the_t3rminator> nedss_: Oh, ok. Got it :)
[06:16] <Warbo> idefix__: The programs are in /usr, the package files are in /var/cache/apt/archives
[06:16] <DJ_Danni> Do you know how to setup a FTP Server with useracount on Ubuntu with PROFTPD?
[06:16] <Stormx2> idefix__: Hmm, what?
[06:16] <Stormx2> idefix__: Once you've installed them?
[06:16] <the_t3rminator> idefix__: What do you mean?
[06:16] <Warbo> Stormx2: let him figure it out :)
[06:16] <nofx_br> everything is so user friendly here in ubuntu.. whatawhy there is no smbmount?
[06:16] <nofx_br> its samba version ?
[06:17] <Stormx2> !samba
[06:17] <DJ_Danni> Do you know how to setup a FTP Server with useracount on Ubuntu with PROFTPD?
[06:17] <erUSUL> nofx_br: install it with Synaptic
[06:17] <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
[06:17] <idefix__> I just marked them for installation in synaptic and clicked apply now I want them in my menu
[06:17] <the_t3rminator> !ftp
[06:17] <nofx_br> erUSUL: heheh.... good idea  xD
  FTP clients: gftp, konqueror, kbear, nautilus. FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd
[06:17] <Jack_Sparrow> idefix__:  most of the time they will go directly into the menu
[06:17] <Stormx2> idefix__: Alright, what did you install?
[06:17] <DJ_Danni> !ftp
[06:17] <idefix__> yafc
[06:17] <eric256> is there a different channel I should ask in?
[06:17] <Warbo> idefix__: Applications>Accessories>Alacarte then just type the program's name (you will find the binaries in /usr/bin)
[06:18] <DJ_Danni> Can somone help me?
[06:18] <AJ004> whats going to be new in edgy?
[06:18] <Stormx2> DJ_Danni: Read what ubotu put!
[06:18] <idefix__> there's no alacarte in my applications>accessories :-(
[06:18] <the_t3rminator> eric256: Sorry, I don't know what is wrong.. Try on linuxquestions.org or another Linux forum :)
[06:18] <Warbo> I'm gonna do something more productive, bye
[06:18] <DJ_Danni> How?
[06:18] <DJ_Danni> I am bigenner
[06:18] <Stormx2> AJ004: Ah i've got my hopes up with some things
[06:18] <idefix__> Jack_Sparrow they didn't appear in my menu
[06:18] <JonathanHarford> I've followed the instructions, the_t3rminator, but I only get "bcmwl5    driver present"
[06:18] <AJ004> seems like edgy will be ready in october, anything significant that will be changed?
[06:19] <JonathanHarford> no "hardware present"
[06:19] <eric256> t3 so you don't think its ubuntu related?
[06:19] <gnomefreak> idefix__: if your on dapper there is
[06:19] <Stormx2> DJ_Danni: Look up, till you see the message ubotu put.
[06:19] <Jack_Sparrow> idefix__:  What program.. just one for now
[06:19] <AJ004> stormx2:  Any significant changes?
[06:19] <idefix__> I'm still on breezy
[06:19] <DJ_Danni> ok
[06:19] <gnomefreak> idefix__: thats why you dont
[06:19] <the_t3rminator> eric256: I do, but there are quite a few more member there who might be able to help :)
[06:19] <Jack_Sparrow> idefix__: Kubuntu?
[06:19] <gnomefreak> idefix__:  you have to install it on breezy
[06:19] <DJ_Danni> HEy one Question
[06:19] <Stormx2> AJ004: I don't know. I think everything is on launchpad, but the idea (according to the devs) is that they've got a nice stable LTS version with dapper so they can try some more cutting-edge stuff with edgy
[06:19] <Stormx2> DJ_Danni: fire away
[06:19] <DJ_Danni> If i Update From 5.10 to the Leterst whill my Server's be better?
[06:19] <idefix__>  uname -r
[06:19] <idefix__> 2.6.12-10-386
[06:19] <AJ004> stormx2:  changes from warty to dapper were essentially incremental but dapper finally put ubuntu on par with mainstream linux distros and is superior imho :P
[06:19] <eric256> thanks
[06:20] <the_t3rminator> JonathanHarford: Hmm.. Driver present? Does "iwconfig" show anything useful?
[06:20] <DJ_Danni> If i Update From 5.10 to the Leterst whill my Server's be better??
[06:20] <Stormx2> DJ_Danni: I'd imagine so, yes, but backup first ;-)
[06:20] <DJ_Danni> How can i do that?
[06:20] <idefix__> Jack_Sparrow? gnomefreak? 2.6.12-10-386 is breezy isn't it?
[06:20] <Stormx2> AJ004: Yeah, totally up to par
[06:20] <AJ004> stormx2:  i just want a more well rounded distro that one can use
[06:20] <Stormx2> !upgrade
[06:20] <the_t3rminator> dd if=/ of=/media/backupdrive/backup
[06:20] <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.
[06:20] <nofx_br> how sweet this synaptic... hehehe needed smbfs =)
[06:20] <DJ_Danni> ok THX
[06:20] <chaos_of_apocaly> i have just instaled mt ubuntu cd wich is hoary hedgehog.How do i upgrade to dapper???
[06:20] <gnomefreak> idefix__: yes
[06:20] <AJ004> stormx2:  A fix of some remaining bugs like in GTK, etc..
[06:20] <Stormx2> DJ_Danni: np.
[06:20] <JonathanHarford> yes... there's an entry for eth1 with a nickname of "Broadcom 4318"
[06:20] <gnomefreak> idefix__: 2.6.15 is dapper
[06:20] <idefix__> so I cannot do anything? should I get myself dapper?
[06:21] <JonathanHarford> and no indication there's anything wrong with it
[06:21] <AJ004> stormx2:  Hopefully the next distro will include the next version of gtk
[06:21] <Stormx2> AJ004: Mmm... I really want to see some nice features... maybe a "reboot into windows" button hehe...
[06:21] <gnomefreak> idefix__: dapper is stable if you want or you can install alacarte froma  deb
[06:21] <gnomefreak> idefix__: i would upgrade personally
[06:21] <Stormx2> AJ004: Also some GTK tools for things like editing grub.list and stuff...
[06:21] <the_t3rminator> JonathanHarford: It should be working then. Go to System->Administration->Networking and see if you can connect to a WLAN from there
[06:21] <Jack_Sparrow> idefix__:  do you see applications,  places, and system on the top menu bar with a second bar at the bottom?
[06:22] <chaos_of_apocaly> i have just instaled mt ubuntu cd wich is hoary hedgehog.How do i upgrade to dapper???i think i have to put some text in one config file but i dont know wich is it...
[06:22] <the_t3rminator> !upgrade
[06:22] <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.
[06:22] <idefix__> Jack_Sparrow YES
[06:22] <gnomefreak> chaos_of_apocaly: upgrade to breezy than to dapper
[06:22] <JonathanHarford> "Wireless connection / The interface eth1 is not active"... so I click "Activate"... and I get a 30-second progress bar
[06:22] <Stormx2> idefix__: I'm checking how to launch it, give me a minute.
[06:22] <chaos_of_apocaly> why gnomefreak?
[06:23] <the_t3rminator> JonathanHarford: And then what? Try connecting to a WLAN..
[06:23] <gnomefreak> chaos_of_apocaly: skipping versions can break your system (more than likely will)
[06:23] <Stormx2> idefix__: Do this! Alt + F2. In the box, type yafc
[06:23] <chaos_of_apocaly> ok
[06:23] <chaos_of_apocaly> thanks
[06:23] <JonathanHarford> now it says it's active
[06:23] <gnomefreak> bbs
[06:23] <nofx_br> unrar in linux ?? unrar-free dosent works so good.... there another option?
[06:23] <JonathanHarford> How do I find a list of nearby WLANs?
[06:23] <Usunny> !rar
[06:23] <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
[06:23] <the_t3rminator> JonathanHarford: Good... Not go to "Properties" and there should be a listbox to select detected WLANs from
[06:24] <JonathanHarford> there's one I'm able to get on when I use windows on the laptop
[06:24] <the_t3rminator> *now
[06:24] <nofx_br> cool tnx ! !
[06:24] <JonathanHarford> Oh, "network name", right?
[06:24] <JonathanHarford> the pulldown is empty
[06:24] <the_t3rminator> JonathanHarford: Correct
[06:24] <idefix__> Stormx2 I cannot paste all the output in here now can I?
[06:24] <the_t3rminator> JonathanHarford: Is this a laptop or desktop?
[06:24] <Stormx2> idefix__: pastebin.com
[06:24] <JonathanHarford> and I know there's, like, ten networks the laptop should be able to detect
[06:24] <JonathanHarford> laptop
[06:24] <spatieman> warbo: i did mount the sda6 device in /mnt, i did the sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev ,but chroot /mnt gives me a error -> cannot change root dir to /mnt: operation not permitted
[06:25] <Usunny> nofx_br i think thers sum sum in easyubuntu too, you could check that out as well
[06:25] <the_t3rminator> JonathanHarford: Try pressing a button which activates the wireless card. There should be one... Or is your wireless card external (PCMCIA, USB, etc)?
[06:25] <Stormx2> idefix__: You do realise its a terminal ftp client?
[06:25] <Midknight> How do I patch wine 9.9 in ubuntu? I installed from synaptic manger and need to patch it
[06:25] <neoXite> hello, can someone help me out here? i'm trying to build asterisk 1.2.9.1 on dapper, but gcc exits with an error. the same source builds fine on debian/testing
[06:25] <idefix__> Query failure: Table 'pastebin' was not locked with LOCK TABLES
[06:25] <JonathanHarford> THere is indeed such a button, but when I press it nothing seems to heppen (usually it lights up)
[06:25] <Stormx2> idefix__: Alt + F2 type "gnome-terminal", in the terminal type yafc
[06:26] <the_t3rminator> JonathanHarford: It probably won't light up... Now look at the list again ;)
[06:26] <idefix__> No such command 'gnome-terminal', try 'help
[06:26] <Stormx2> idefix__: Launch a terminal.
[06:26] <idefix__> done
[06:26] <the_t3rminator> idefix__: 'xterm'
[06:26] <Stormx2> idefix__: Now type yafc.
[06:26] <Stormx2> Without the dot.
[06:26] <idefix__> ook
[06:26] <idefix__> okok
[06:26] <JonathanHarford> still nothing
[06:26] <idefix__> I have a yafc> prompt
[06:27] <Stormx2> idefix__: Well there you go.
[06:27] <Stormx2> idefix__: There is your program installed and running.
[06:27] <idefix__> ok so it isn't necessary to have a link in the menu then
[06:27] <the_t3rminator> JonathanHarford: That's odd... Try pressing the button again, but a bit harder? Mine doesn't work if I press it too softly - even if I think I've pressed it..
[06:27] <moparfan90> hello. how do i mount my windows HDD so i can copy files over to my ubuntu 6.06 install?
[06:27] <Stormx2> idefix__: You can make one if you want.
[06:27] <erUSUL> !ntfs > moparfan90
[06:27] <idefix__> but why actually, right?
[06:27] <Stormx2> idefix__: sudo apt-get install alacarte
[06:28] <JonathanHarford> I keep pressing it, reopening the properties dialog, closing the dialog, never is anything showing up in that list
[06:28] <Amaranth> Stormx2: if he has ubuntu 6.06 he already has that
[06:28] <idefix__> Stormx2 thx
[06:28] <Stormx2> Amaranth: Ah ok
[06:28] <haze77> This is VERY strange. After booting a couple of times into the LiveCD, now suddely I get huge problems with "Nautilus" and Gnome and I get a black screen
[06:28] <Stormx2> Amaranth: Sorry I didn't install from the 6.06 release
[06:28] <the_t3rminator> JonathanHarford: I'm not sure how to help... Let's try the terminal?
[06:28] <haze77> It worked fine, and now for no apparent reason it does not
[06:28] <the_t3rminator> JonathanHarford: Applications->Accessories->Terminal
[06:29] <Stormx2> JonathanHarford: What is the problem?
[06:29] <JonathanHarford> okay, i've got the terminal open
[06:29] <the_t3rminator> JonathanHarford: sudo ifconfig eth1 down; sudo ifconfig eth1 up
[06:29] <JonathanHarford> is that two lines or should I include the semicolon?\
[06:30] <the_t3rminator> JonathanHarford: include the semi-colon
[06:30] <Stormx2> either.
[06:30] <the_t3rminator> Easier ;)
[06:30] <moparfan90> in have a 5.1 surround sound card and speakers. how do i make xmms or mp3's play in 6 channel?
[06:30] <idefix__> there's a dir called "Foto's/" in the ftp-server I just connected to, but cd Foto's doesn't work
[06:30] <JonathanHarford> SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
[06:30] <the_t3rminator> idefix__: cd "Foto's"
[06:31] <the_t3rminator> JonathanHarford: ... Did you put the 'sudo' in?
[06:31] <JonathanHarford> yes indeed
[06:31] <the_t3rminator> Hmm...
[06:31] <spatieman> Warbo: I do a reboot, and login to irc with the liveCD ,i seems that i do something wrong
[06:32] <dhunter> JonathanHarford: Sorry to bud in. What card?
[06:32] <the_t3rminator> dhunter: Broadcom BCM4318
[06:33] <moparfan90> where is the grub.conf file located?
[06:33] <POVaddct> the_t3rminator: you need the matching firmware for that card. (several files ending in .fw) put them in /lib/firmware/<kernelversion>
[06:34] <carol> I'm having a problem with Ekiga where it's only showing the top left 1/4 of my webcam output
[06:34] <dhunter> JonathanHarford: Ok. i got It. You useing dapper?
[06:34] <JonathanHarford> firmware???
[06:34] <the_t3rminator> POVaddct: It's not for me... I was just stating JonathanHarford's card ;)
[06:34] <JonathanHarford> yes, dapper
[06:34] <POVaddct> the_t3rminator: ah okay :)
[06:34] <JonathanHarford> it's a beta... flight 6, I think
[06:34] <dhunter> JonathanHarford: Ok. ndiswrapper?
[06:34] <the_t3rminator> POVaddct: No probs ;)
[06:34] <siriusnova> anyone want to help me compiling the newest madwifi-ng from source?
[06:34] <JonathanHarford> ndiswrapper is installed
[06:35] <siriusnova> i get it t compile but it doesnt work with network manager
[06:35] <dhunter> JonathanHarford: I had the same problem.
[06:35] <POVaddct> with dapper 6.06, you don't need ndiswrapper for bcm43xx cards.
[06:35] <lophyte> !alsa
[06:35] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[06:36] <sysdoc> JonathanHarford, I have the same network card, Dapper installed it from the get go as eth1
[06:36] <amortvigil> hey i want to install ubuntu lamp with htacces what is the best way to do it? maybe by following this link?? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP?highlight=%28htacces%29
[06:36] <dhunter> JonathanHarford: do this "rmmod bcm43xx"
[06:36] <JonathanHarford> sudo?
[06:36] <Guv> my cd rom is not working is that possible if i can still install build-essentials
[06:36] <dhunter> JonathanHarford: yes
[06:37] <carol> Does anyone have a problem where Ekiga isn't showing the full video output of a webcam?  Camorama and xwtv show the whole output, so it can't be how it's configured
[06:37] <JonathanHarford> okay, no output
[06:37] <POVaddct> JonathanHarford: you need to look at the kernel messages. if the bcm43xx driver complains about missing firmware, you need the firmware first.
[06:37] <Guv> my cd rom is not working, and i want to install build-essentials, is this possible?
[06:38] <dhunter> JonathanHarford: ok good. The problem, the system tries to load bcm43xx and ndiswrappper on same device.
[06:38] <JonathanHarford> okay, POVaddict... how do I do that?
[06:38] <sys8976> Guv how are you wanting to install the be?
[06:38] <POVaddct> JonathanHarford: look at the output of dmesg. there should be some messages from the bcm43xx driver.
[06:38] <rtux> Ok guys & gurls.. rtux is back. Anyone remember the ATI problem guy?
[06:38] <Guv> sys8976:  i can download it and then instal it that would be easy i guess
[06:38] <sys8976> rtux: lol yes I remeber hehe
[06:39] <sys8976> Guv that is right you should be able to do it that way
[06:39] <dhunter> JonathanHarford: You with me?
[06:39] <rtux> Great sys8976 >> sorry it took me 3 minutes to write your name.
[06:39] <rtux> :P
[06:39] <joevandyk> What's a cool OpenGL application that I can use to test out a graphics card?
[06:39] <Dr_Willis> wowsers - i finially got wireless working. :P
[06:39] <JonathanHarford> yes, dhunter
[06:39] <Kibou> joevandyk: doom 3
[06:39] <JonathanHarford> Should I uninstall ndiswrapper then?
[06:39] <sys8976> Dr_Willis: yea
[06:39] <archwolf> Can someone help me figure out why my ATI graphics drivers aren't working properly?
[06:39] <JonathanHarford> POVaddict -- where can I find the output of dmesg?
[06:39] <joevandyk> Kibou, something free?
[06:39] <Guv> syeates:  thats what i wanna know how can i change the path it check cd rom by default i guess.
[06:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !ati
[06:39] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:39] <sys8976> archwolf: more details on what it is doing please
[06:40] <Kibou> joevandyk: doom 3 demo
[06:40] <POVaddct> JonathanHarford: run the "dmesg" command
[06:40] <rtux> sys8976 were you even here when I was logged on half an hour ago!? :)
[06:40] <Kibou> :P
[06:40] <archwolf> Okay.
[06:40] <joevandyk> Kibou, hehe, ok
[06:40] <dhunter> JonathanHarford: rmmod ndiswrapper and then modprobe ndiswrapper and you all set.
[06:40] <archwolf> I installed the drivers using apt-get (from a forum post I read), and follwed the instructions, I thought.
[06:40] <sys8976> rtux: for a min, but you were in here last night as well am I correct?
[06:40] <archwolf> When I check the drivers, it still returns that it's using MESA.
[06:40] <haze77> Ubuntu killed my machine. Merde!
[06:40] <rtux> Well, I don't think so.
[06:40] <archwolf> I pastebinned my Xorg log, too.
[06:40] <rtux> no.. impossible.
[06:40] <sys8976> haze77: doubt it was ubuntu lol
[06:40] <haze77> Hmm no, now it seems to be working. It's perhaps not working because the clock was reset
[06:40] <lophyte> hey, anyone know how to set the default sound card in ALSA? I've got two sound cards, and its selecting the wrong one for the default..
[06:41] <POVaddct> JonathanHarford: you don't need to read the whole output, just the lines near bcm43xx
[06:41] <archwolf> http://paste.leonerd.org.uk/?show=33 <-- This is the log.
[06:41] <POVaddct> gotta go
[06:41] <JonathanHarford> POVaddict: dmesg gives me many lines of "bcm43xx: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed."
[06:41] <haze77> Too quick there. However, really strange that the first 3 boots from the LiveCD loaded up nice, but after that there were errors with Nautilus and Gnome giving only a black screen
[06:41] <POVaddct> JonathanHarford: that's what i expected
[06:41] <dhunter> JonathanHarford: just do what I said and your done. easy.
[06:42] <haze77> I mean, it's not like something changed on the CD ! Neither was anything changed on the hardware, I think?
[06:42] <rtux> ATI driver question: Does it originally load the Mesa Open GL drivers? Cause this happened to me.
[06:42] <POVaddct> JonathanHarford: you need to put the firmware in the directory /lib/firmware/<kernelversion>
[06:42] <graveson> how can i figure out what my Nat'ed IP address,i am guessing this is what i have when i am connected to a ADSL line ?
[06:43] <JonathanHarford> dhunter, I followed your instructions and now I can't see my wifi card under "network settings"
[06:43] <haze77> By the way It says "running on battery, not fsucking!" does that mean a nasty word was introduced into the intro-loader (for lack of a better word I use something amigaish)
[06:43] <soundray> haze77: I had semi-reproducible boot problems like that for a while with kernel 2.6.15
[06:43] <sys8976> graveson: up in the systray you should have little pcs if you right click you can go to connection information
[06:43] <JonathanHarford> what firmware do I want, POVaddict?
[06:43] <haze77> soundray: Hmm.. strange it is. Did you find out what it was? I'm trying to install on an Apple iBook 700 mhz
[06:44] <archwolf> Is there a way to remove the drivers I installed so I can try over again?
[06:44] <JonathanHarford> and -- were I to install new firmware on the card, would it still work well in windows?
[06:44] <rtux> Anyone free..? I wonder.
[06:44] <haze77> soundray: downloading the alternate installer now though
[06:44] <bipolar> I've got a couple of ports open and I don't know what they are. netstat -lnp does not show the pid that has them open. Port 44443 is open, and I can connect to it with telnet.
[06:44] <Guv> syeates:  can you please guide me a bit?
[06:44] <POVaddct> JonathanHarford: get this tarball: http://chris.silmor.de/bcm43xx_dell_firmware.tgz
[06:44] <POVaddct> JonathanHarford: unpack it somewhere and copy all *.fw files to /lib/firmware/$(uname -r)
[06:44] <soundray> haze77: yes, there were timing problems with the onboard IDE. I'm now running the drives off a separated IDE card (PCI).
[06:44] <spatieman> bummer
[06:45] <graveson> sys8976: sorry i am not sure i know what you mean ,
[06:45] <bipolar> it's only open for localhost though...
[06:46] <sys8976> graveson: up top in right corner do you have a little icon that looks like 2 pcs?
[06:47] <Guv> can anyone tell me how can i download build-essentials and install build-essentials from a folder?
[06:47] <Guv> and is that possible?
[06:47] <graveson> sys8976: no i do not have that ? how do enable that
[06:47] <fyrestrtr> you already downloaded it and just want to install it?
[06:47] <sys8976> graveson: let me check that out brb
[06:47] <Frogzoo_> Guv: errrmm 'sudo apt-get install build-essential'
[06:47] <soundray> Guv: it is possible, but why would you want that, instead of doing apt-get install ?
[06:48] <docko> hi
[06:48] <Guv> soundray:  my cd rom is not working plus i still cant configure my WAN on ubuntu i just want to install build-essentials
[06:49] <fyrestrtr> you are not on the ubuntu machine right now?
[06:49] <Guv> me?
[06:49] <fyrestrtr> yeah
[06:49] <Guv> yeah ubuntu is installed but i m using windows at the moment cause internet doesnt work.
[06:49] <joel> Guys how can you set permissions of folders, my root folder for web access is only read by root
[06:49] <joel> any ideas?
[06:49] <soundray> Guv: give me a minute
[06:49] <Guv> wanna swtich to ubuntu and still figering out stuff
[06:50] <Guv> soundray:  sure dude.
[06:50] <fyrestrtr> Guv: how do you connect to the net?
[06:50] <haze77> soundray: do you think using the alternate text mode install cd will change anything?
[06:50] <rtux> Anybody knows if fglrx ATI drivers are installed with OpenGL drivers originally?
[06:50] <Guv> fyrestrtr:  i use local area network to connect to internet.
[06:50] <fyrestrtr> your network card isn't working in your ubuntu machine?
[06:51] <Guv> no its working but it need a authentication
[06:51] <docko> in apache2.conf i'm not able to find where to specify a subnet or an ip which apache will respond to, can anyone help please?
[06:51] <sys8976> graveson: ok go to 'system' 'administration' and then 'networking' you should be able to see everything you need from there
[06:51] <Guv> they provided a software to dial for authentication but that works on windows
[06:51] <KenSentMe> joel: sudo chmod 755 <www-dir>
[06:51] <KenSentMe> !chmod
[06:51] <ubotu> I know nothing about chmod
[06:52] <fyrestrtr> Guv: you use a modem to connect, or are you on DSL?
[06:52] <Guv> fyrestrtr:  no i use dsl
[06:52] <joel> so sudo !chmod 755 (file directory)
[06:52] <sys8976> ubotu: here is a  link on chmod http://www.freeos.com/articles/4440/
[06:52] <graveson> sys8976: ok thanks
[06:52] <Jack_Sparrow> joel:  Just curious but what permissions do you want to set for root...?
[06:53] <fyrestrtr> Guv: how does your windows computer connect to the dsl connection? The modem is connected to the windows machine?
[06:53] <sys8976> graveson: anytime
[06:53] <joel> uhhh i want to be able to write there
[06:53] <joel> i cannot atm
[06:53] <joel> only root user has permission
[06:53] <nofx_br> hav anyone tried flex builder 2 on linux ?
[06:53] <joel> can i login as the root user?
[06:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Not the best idea
[06:53] <KenSentMe> joel: check this page http://www.unixcities.com/howto/index3.html
[06:53] <Guv> actualy i connect to a machine which has dsl i m not directly connecting you know
[06:53] <KenSentMe> !sudo > joel
[06:54] <Guv> and we have a software to dial for authentication
[06:54] <KenSentMe> joel: and the link ubotu sent you
[06:54] <sys8976> Guv: is that machine set up as a gateway?
[06:54] <JonathanHarford> POVaddict: done.
[06:54] <Guv> sys8976:  yes
[06:54] <fyrestrtr> Guv: so, just so I understand you -- your windows machine connects to another machine using the lan cable, and then you use software on your windows machine to authenticate and get online?
[06:54] <sys8976> guv ok and when in ubuntu you dont have no connection right?
[06:54] <Guv> fyrestrtr:  yes
[06:55] <fyrestrtr> Guv: just setup internet connection sharing on your windows machine, and connect the windows machine to the ubuntu machine.
[06:55] <Guv> syeates:  it shows i m connected to lan but ofcourse ineternet wont work unless i authenticate
[06:55] <Guv> fyrestrtr:  well what if i just wanna use internet on ubuntu?
[06:55] <idefix__> so with a Query failure: Table 'pastebin' was not locked with LOCK TABLES my pastebin doesn't really seem to work, does it?
[06:55] <Guv> and my windows machine is not in use?
[06:56] <soundray> Guv: here's a forum thread on installing things offline: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=55755
[06:56] <Guv> let me show you the detail of software i am using for windows
[06:56] <KenSentMe> joel: this is a ubuntu page about file permissions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions
[06:56] <Guv> that might help you to understand.
[06:56] <fyrestrtr> Guv: depends on the software that you are using to authenticate.  Its a strange setup you have there.
[06:56] <Guv> soundray:  ok thanks.
[06:56] <fyrestrtr> yeah that would help :)
[06:56] <Guv> fyrestrtr:  yes kinda
[06:56] <sys8976> Guv: show that software if you could please
[06:56] <idefix__> !pastebin
[06:56] <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)
[06:57] <JonathanHarford> POVaddct: done. I just realized I've been misspelling your username.

[07:06] <mooseman447> i have a 1tb backup server using 4x 250gb drives ubuntu sees them as 4 seperate drives but i would like to use lvm to span them as one huge one but i was wondering it was possible to create a lvm without data loss

[07:07] <soop> [ro: during the install it asked you for a username and password
[07:07] <soop> use those
[07:07] <BirJu> sys8976:  got it?
[07:07] <soundray> mooseman447: no, you have to backup your data and restore it after you've set up the LVM.
[07:07] <nevermind> soundray: after it checks all the system.
[07:07] <codecaine> alradalready have xgl and compiz
[07:07] <erUSUL> [R0] am_site: have you instaled the server version??
[07:07] <[R0] am_site> it didn't ask
[07:07] <slonnik> hi all
[07:08] <[R0] am_site> no desktop version
[07:08] <mooseman447> soundray yea i realized that but the point of the 1tb was for backups and i have no other location to store about ~300gb of data right now
[07:08] <soundray> nevermind: what's on the screen at that point?
[07:08] <nevermind> soundray: nothing. only a brown image.
[07:08] <slonnik> i have installed ubuntu but yesterday i installed kde desktop for ubuntu - so i hav enow kubuntu is it ?
[07:08] <vir_novum> anyone know anything about ppp?  I installed a lucent soft modem, and I can hear it dialing, but it never actually connects to the internet.  I have the same problem whether I use kppp, networks control panel, or wvdial.
[07:08] <funkmaster> any1 knows where to get scanmodem?
[07:09] <Fatal`> hehe, i just tried to modify my xorg.conf and X didn't restart
[07:09] <funkmaster> the site seems down
[07:09] <Fatal`> scary stuff
[07:09] <Fatal`> :(
[07:09] <soundray> nevermind: do you get a text login when you hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 ?
[07:09] <nevermind> nop.
[07:09] <erUSUL> [R0] am_site: you performed a OEM instalation?
[07:09] <nevermind> the cdrom seems never to stop. but the mouse doesn't move

[07:10] <slonnik> Fatal can you see any errors whyle starting x
[07:10] <Guv> fyrestrtr was tryin to help us.
[07:10] <[R0] am_site> ok.. tks... i'll check it out
[07:10] <Guv> why he got banned?
[07:10] <soundray> mooseman447: I haven't tried this, but you might be able to set up a partition to span 3 disks, then extend it with the fourth one. In the meantime, you will have the fourth disk as temporary storage.
[07:10] <JonathanHarford> POVaddct: I copied that firmware into the directory, rebooted, and now networks are showing up!
[07:10] <jhemono> nevermind: so you have a mouse pointer ?
[07:10] <Fatal`> where is the log file, because i already forgot what it said
[07:10] <idefix__> hey soundray
[07:10] <bachstudies> hi everyone. Does anyone have a solution to the high-pitched chipmunk-like stutter when I try to use wengophone or tapioca. Skype doesn't seem to have this problem.
[07:10] <funkmaster> Fatal: is it working again?
[07:10] <Fatal`> all i tried to do was add in a part for my mouse following directions on the forum
[07:10] <Fatal`> yeah, i just changed it back to normal
[07:10] <soundray> gnomefreak: could you unban fyrestrtr perhaps?  I'm sure it was an innocent mistake.
[07:10] <nevermind> no mouse pointer no nothing. only the cdrom seems to work.
[07:11] <mooseman447> soundray that sounds like it could work any places i could read more on the idea?
[07:11] <funkmaster> k
[07:11] <erUSUL> vir_novum: try tail -f /var/log/messages while dialing to see any problems with the process
[07:11] <fyrestrtr> yeah it was -- stupid xterm highlight = copy to clipboard.
[07:11] <soundray> mooseman447: there is general Linux LVM HOWTO somewhere on the web.
[07:12] <jhemono> nevermind: so you only have the ubuntu logo ? no text ?
[07:12] <mooseman447> soundray ok the web that narrows it down......
[07:12] <nevermind> no ubuntu logo, only a brown wallpaper and that's it.
[07:12] <jhemono> nevermind: is it after you hit enter a CD voot ?
[07:12] <idefix__> can anyone check if the stuff I typed into pastebin.com worked?
[07:12] <[R0] am_site> so i just have to write "sudo oem-config-prepare" in the command?
[07:12] <vir_novum> hmm, ok, i shall reboot in ubuntu and try that
[07:12] <soundray> mooseman447: no, the search terms lvm and howto narrow it down.
[07:12] <jhemono> ok that mean X is running
[07:12] <funkmaster> does someone have the scanmodem tool, can't get it from the site..
[07:13] <nevermind> after i hit enter on start or install ubuntu and it checks something there and then that's it. nothing seems to work, only the cdrom spins.
[07:13] <fyrestrtr> where is that user that was having problems connecting ubuntu to the net?
[07:13] <TeemuR> how do you delete files using command line?
[07:13] <soundray> nevermind: can you boot in recovery mode? (Second option in the grub menu that you see early in the boot process).
[07:13] <erUSUL> TeemuR: rm
[07:13] <jhemono> nevermind so try to do what smb said : type ctrl alt f1
[07:13] <erUSUL> !commands > TeemuR
[07:13] <nevermind> the keyboard doesn't work.
[07:14] <fyrestrtr> funkmaster: what does scanmodem do?
[07:14] <CHodapp> Ok, I am having some issues. Every time I try to set the DNS in "Networking", it reverts back to whatever DHCP told it. I tried making a profile - but it's been at "Changing Profile" for about 2 minutes now (maybe because I have a wireless card and an ethernet card, and the ethernet is not connected).
[07:14] <nevermind> soundray no recovery mode.
[07:14] <soundray> nevermind: what do you mean?
[07:14] <CHodapp> How can I make it listen to the DNS I give it, first of all? I need this because what DHCP gives me for a DNS is wrong, so I have a server on my LAN that I use.
[07:15] <nevermind> there's no recovery mode.
[07:15] <jhemono> nevermind: is the system running now (and you are on the irc via another computer) ?
[07:15] <fyrestrtr> CHodapp: a 'hackish' way to do it, is to edit /etc/resolv.conf
[07:15] <erUSUL> CHodapp: man resolv.conf
[07:15] <fyrestrtr> CHodapp: that is a bug with the network manager as I have run into it a lot.
[07:15] <nevermind> i'm on irc via windows on the same computer.
[07:15] <soundray> nevermind: do you have a grub menu on boot?
[07:15] <jhemono> ok
[07:16] <CHodapp> fyrestrtr: I'm trying not to use hackish ways, I'm trying to use
[07:16] <CHodapp>  . . . Ubuntu ways. Maybe it sounds dumb.
[07:16] <Fatal`> why do they call it x?
[07:16] <TeemuR> does anyone here run edgy?
[07:16] <fyrestrtr> will /etc/resolv.conf is The Linux Way(tm) to do it.
[07:16] <nevermind> i've waited for 2 hours for something to change to that brown screen and nothing.
[07:16] <fyrestrtr> s/will/well/
[07:17] <erUSUL> CHodapp: man resolvconf (without the dot)
[07:17] <tritium> TeemuR: #ubuntu+1 for edgy questions
[07:17] <CHodapp> fyrestrtr: I'm aware, but I am trying to let Ubuntu do the configuring for me, mostly because I'm seeing if it can.

[07:18] <fyrestrtr> CHodapp: I believe its a bug, because it takes for...ever to switch profiles, and even then it doesn't adjust dns.
[07:18] <nevermind> i couldn't install Ubuntu.
[07:18] <CHodapp> The idea of profiles is really handy, too bad they aren't working too well. Oh well, I'll work around.
[07:18] <fyrestrtr> CHodapp: I have the same problem as you do. At the office, the DHCP sets a DNS IP address, at the house, it never sets it back, even if I change the profile.
[07:19] <CHodapp> So I'm not going insane. That's cool.
[07:19] <andyleung> Hi, I forgot the command to display all installed packages on my dapper, is it dpkg?
[07:19] <soundray> nevermind: so it's the boot from the install CD that freezes on you?
[07:19] <fyrestrtr> andyleung: yes, dpkg -l I think
[07:19] <nevermind> i think so.
[07:19] <soundray> nevermind: what are you actually trying to do?
[07:19] <jhemono> nerverming: i'm pointing the boot process: BIOS boot CD  -  A screen with ubuntu logo and a count ask for language and other options - live cd boot (logo + scrolling text) - graphics start (bordeaux red background) - you have a ubuntu desktop
[07:19] <bachstudies> has anyone got wengophone to work sucessfully in dapper?
[07:19] <nevermind> to install Ubuntu
[07:19] <andyleung> fyrestrtr is it -I or -l?
[07:19] <CHodapp> Besides that, everything in the install went pretty well... did not take long at all, and it assimilated my old configuration of GRUB/XOSL/whatever the hell boot loader I've used for the past 5 yeras into the GRUB install that it put on the MBR.
[07:20] <jhemono> bachstudies : I did
[07:20] <fyrestrtr> lowercase L
[07:20] <fyrestrtr> and change your font :P
[07:20] <soundray> nevermind: have you downloaded and burnt a CD?
[07:20] <JonathanHarford> So, wireless networks are finally showing up on my laptop -- but when I select one I have to wait a minute while "Activating interface eth1" shows on the screen. This I still can't connect to the internet. Can someone help?
[07:20] <BearKnuckle> What consequences does such a message have and how can I investigate any further, why they are kept back: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:20] <BearKnuckle> Reading package lists... Done
[07:20] <BearKnuckle> Building dependency tree... Done
[07:20] <BearKnuckle> Calculating upgrade...Done
[07:20] <BearKnuckle> The following packages have been kept back:
[07:20] <BearKnuckle>   libcairo2 libcairo2-dev
[07:20] <BearKnuckle> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
[07:20] <bachstudies> jhemono: did you have sound issues at all at the beginning?
[07:20] <BearKnuckle> sorry for multilining...
[07:20] <CHodapp> Graphical install was also perfect, which is good because my monitor is a pain in the butt to get into anything beyond 800x600.
[07:20] <nevermind> i've just received the ubuntu cds
[07:20] <erUSUL> BearKnuckle: do not paste in here use a pastebin
[07:21] <erUSUL> !pastebin > BearKnuckle
[07:21] <BearKnuckle> thx
[07:21] <ompaul> BearKnuckle, don't di that do http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[07:21] <jhemono> bachstudies : sometimes when i'm listenning music (altought i paused it)
[07:21] <andyleung> thanks
[07:21] <soundray> nevermind: are they version 5.10 or 6.06?
[07:22] <BearKnuckle> How can I find out, why they are kept back? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17104
[07:22] <bachstudies> jhemono: i can't understand the other person because it all sounds like high-pitched garbage. In tapioca I can hear the other person fine but they can't understand me (more high-pitched jittery sound)
[07:22] <nevermind> sorry, network problems
[07:23] <monomaniacpat> can anyone tell me how to stop ubuntu mounting cds as CDDA?
[07:23] <eighty734> Hello room I have a quick question does any one know the max hard drive size ubuntu can install on, I have a 200 gig hd and daper install gets suck on step 5
[07:23] <soundray> nevermind: are they version 5.10 or 6.06?
[07:23] <fowlduck> hi people
[07:23] <nevermind> 6.06
[07:23] <fyrestrtr> eighty734: what does your bios detect it as?
[07:23] <eighty734> yep
[07:23] <erUSUL> monomaniacpat: System>preferences>
[07:23] <soundray> nevermind: are you using the Desktop or the Alternative CD?
[07:24] <andyleung> Another question, how do I display info for one package?
[07:24] <CHodapp> what's the Alternative CD like?
[07:24] <Feral_Kid> I have been having problem running programs that require libGL, how do I go about re-loading libGL properly?
[07:24] <andyleung> sorry for my font color since I am too new to irssi
[07:24] <nevermind> they all look the same
[07:24] <soundray> !alternative
[07:24] <ubotu> I know nothing about alternative
[07:24] <erUSUL> andyleung: apt-cache show package
[07:24] <monomaniacpat> erUSUL: removable media?
[07:24] <fowlduck> CHodapp, it's just the installer, no desktop
[07:24] <andyleung> erUSUL thanks
[07:24] <erUSUL> monomaniacpat: yes
[07:24] <erUSUL> andyleung: no problem
[07:25] <eighty734> every thing works fine till I try to install I left it up all night and step five stayed blank
[07:25] <SonicChao> I have a scanner, HP PSC 1610 All-in-one, how do I get it running? I got the printer part going already
[07:25] <soundray> nevermind: did you get them from ShipIt?
[07:25] <nevermind> yes
[07:25] <monomaniacpat> erUSUL: there is nothing specific about CDDA... any way to stop that specificaly?
[07:25] <SonicChao> Can anyone help me?
[07:25] <Feral_Kid> I have been trying to get the ATI drivers working correctly... But now I have the latest problem with libGL... Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[07:26] <sobersabre> hi
[07:26] <[R0] am_site> the graphical interface is stil not loaded :(
[07:26] <CHodapp> I have an older Radeon that doesn't need proprietary fglrx... anyone have hints for how to configure it in an Ubuntu-ish way? So far I've only done the Slackware way.
[07:26] <[R0] am_site> i've created an user
[07:27] <fyrestrtr> CHodapp: ubuntu should have configured it for you automatically
[07:27] <erUSUL> monomaniacpat: change options about music cd's
[07:27] <soundray> nevermind: boot the CD again. At the first screen, hit F1, F2 etc to read the help screens. Try video related boot options, such as vga=771
[07:27] <CHodapp> fyrestrtr: OpenGL and all?
[07:27] <nevermind> uhm ok
[07:27] <nevermind> thank you
[07:28] <BCK14> hey im getting the error "Failed to initialise Hal" on bootup how should i solve this?
[07:28] <josemanuel> que hable alguien
[07:28] <erUSUL> [R0] am_site: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[07:28] <soundray> !es
[07:28] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[07:28] <fyrestrtr> CHodapp: well, here is the story with ubuntu auto-install. It will configure the driver with only 2d acceleration. To get 3d acceleration going, you need to manually install the binary drivers. By manually, I mean using apt-get.
[07:28] <erUSUL> !es > josemanuel
[07:28] <fyrestrtr> !video
[07:28] <ubotu> I know nothing about video
[07:28] <josemanuel> habla en espaol
[07:28] <BCK14> !hal
[07:28] <ubotu> I know nothing about hal
[07:28] <fyrestrtr> !ati
[07:28] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:28] <BCK14> !Hal
[07:28] <[R0] am_site> k.. i'll try this
[07:28] <ubotu> I know nothing about Hal
[07:28] <CHodapp> fyrestrtr: "binary drivers" even if I don't need the proprietary binary ones?
[07:28] <Mr_castor> hi all
[07:28] <BCK14> hey im getting the error "Failed to initialise Hal" on bootup how should i solve this?
[07:28] <fyrestrtr> CHodapp: see ^
[07:29] <josemanuel> joder que hableis en castellano
[07:29] <fyrestrtr> oh you just want to adjust it? then its sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:29] <CHodapp> fyrestrtr: these are proprietary drivers, that's what I'm saying... my card is a 9250, it can use the open source Radeon DRI
[07:29] <sobersabre> josemanuel try #ubuntu-es
[07:30] <eighty734> fyrestrtr: I am unsure what you are asking, are you asking if my bios detects it at all?
[07:30] <sinan> jk
[07:30] <fyrestrtr> eighty734: I'm asking, what capacity does your bios detect it as?
[07:30] <erUSUL> josemanuel: vete a #ubuntu-es o cllate la boca y sal de aqu. un poco de educacin
[07:30] <JonathanHarford> A request for assistance: My wifi card detects networks but doesn't seem to want to connect to any of them
[07:30] <SonicChao> Oh sorry.
[07:31] <SonicChao> I found what I was looking for through Google.
[07:31] <monomaniacpat> erUSUL: thanks, mate
[07:31] <fyrestrtr> JonathanHarford: if they have a weak signal, that might be a reason.
[07:31] <erUSUL> monomaniacpat: no problem
[07:31] <JonathanHarford> No, when I boot into windows, the signal shows up very strong
[07:31] <erUSUL> !wifi > JonathanHarford
[07:31] <eighty734> fyrestrtr: ah yes that works fine the bios sees the full size
[07:31] <fyrestrtr> CHodapp: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is what you want :)
[07:31] <CHodapp> Ok.
[07:31] <fyrestrtr> that would be the 'ubuntu' way :)
[07:32] <fyrestrtr> (psst ... aka the debian way)
[07:32] <JonathanHarford> erUSUL, what are you saying?
[07:32] <CHodapp> I WANT A GRAPHICAL WAY!
[07:32] <CHodapp> Actually, I don't care, but I'm curious
[07:32] <ompaul> !shout
[07:32] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[07:33] <fyrestrtr> ncurses is graphical, quit yer whining :P
[07:33] <amee2k> i just installed vmware player from the repo on AMD64 and got this: http://h0x.net/p/?x=9  -  what's wrong?
[07:33] <CHodapp> pfffffft
[07:33] <erUSUL> also it is *easier* to read lowercase
[07:33] <CHodapp> Exactly.
[07:34] <fyrestrtr> eighty734: is there an OS on it already?
[07:34] <eighty734> fyrestrtr: nope clear hd
[07:34] <CHodapp> I guess I'm just curious if Ubuntu tries to handle open-source 3D acceleration on the few cards out there that have non-proprietary drivers... but I'll try your suggestion as soon as whatevertoolI'mrunning finishes updating 90.4 megs of stuff
[07:34] <fyrestrtr> have you tried manual partitioning? There usually isn't a problem with large hdd.
[07:34] <eXCeSS> quick question, is there any reason not to just mount my hd (sans swap) to /
[07:35] <eighty734> fyrestrtr: after having this problem I did however get os x disk utility to partition it into smaller partitions
[07:35] <CHodapp> FWIW, I just installed to a partition on a 200 GB serial ATA drive.
[07:35] <eighty734> I never get to the screen to manually choose step five never loads it stays blank
[07:35] <CHodapp> Sometimes GRUB can't handle it, but every Linux distro I've thrown at it has handled it fine.
[07:36] <fyrestrtr> eXCeSS: sure, security and safety. If you ever decide to try another OS, if your /home is on another partition, your files will be safe. Also, it provides space management. If you put /home on another disk, then you have plenty of space for your downloads, etc while keeping your system files separate.
[07:36] <deflux> join #idlerpg
[07:37] <monomaniacpat> what is ubuntu's display setup tool? I want to change display depth
[07:37] <erUSUL> CHodapp: sure it does i have open source 3D accel with my ati9250 and the radeon driver (nothing spectacular ~1250 fps in gears)
[07:37] <CHodapp> erUSUL: you've got a 9250 too?
[07:37] <eXCeSS> fyrestrtr: so is just seperating my home necessary?
[07:37] <fyrestrtr> monomaniacpat: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from the terminal
[07:37] <erUSUL> CHodapp: yes
[07:37] <CHodapp> erUSUL: what did you have to do to configure?
[07:38] <CHodapp> just the line fyrestrtr already told me?
[07:38] <fyrestrtr> eXCeSS: depending on what you are going to use the machine for. For my servers, I separate /var /home /tmp and /etc
[07:38] <monomaniacpat> fyrestrtr: I don't want to change the whole xorg file, as I have an nvidia driver installed - is there something for just color depth?
[07:38] <boga> how do i restart the sound system?
[07:38] <eXCeSS> fyrestrtr: its for my notebook
[07:38] <codecaine> how do i grep a file name with its path too?
[07:38] <CHodapp> ooh... sound. I forgot that I've had my speakers off.
[07:38] <codecaine> like ls | grep matrix just will get the file name but no path
[07:38] <BCK14> hey im getting the error "Failed to initialise Hal" on bootup how should i solve this?
[07:38] <fyrestrtr> monomaniacpat: not sure if there is, I know you can change the resolution, but not the color depth. You can always edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually and add the depth there.
[07:38] <fyrestrtr> codecaine: find
[07:39] <monomaniacpat> fyrestrtr: do you know the syntax?
[07:39] <erUSUL> CHodapp: i changed a few things in /etc/X11/xorg.conf that i gathered from inet (google is your friend). i can post my xorg.con to a pastebin if you like
[07:39] <reb42> im back
[07:39] <CHodapp> erUSUL: no big deal, I'
[07:39] <CHodapp> ...I've got my other install with Xorg too and I can copy that
[07:39] <CHodapp> but that was done in a Slackware way
[07:40] <fyrestrtr> monomaniacpat: there should be an entry for the current depth that you have in the Screen section of your xorg, just copy it, and change the Depth number
[07:40] <fyrestrtr> monomaniacpat: then, change the DefaultDepth to whatever you want :)
[07:41] <joel> Guys
[07:41] <Godsmacko> #ubuntu-es
[07:41] <joel> is there a special IRc for server ubuntu?
[07:41] <fyrestrtr> monomaniacpat: SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1400x1050" EndSubSection <-- this is what you are looking for.
[07:41] <fyrestrtr> monomaniacpat: yours, of course, will be different than mine.
[07:42] <monomaniacpat> fyrestrtr: thanks, will try that
[07:42] <codecaine> like find | grep matrix?
[07:42] <fyrestrtr> codecaine: what is your love affair with grep?
[07:42] <florian_> hi, is it possible to find out which IPs i am connected to via gaim?
[07:42] <codecaine> it owns :p
[07:42] <fyrestrtr> find / -name matrix
[07:43] <kristian> What does this code means? sudo cp /etc/x11/xorg.conf ?
[07:43] <fyrestrtr> codecaine: no, it doesn't 'own' anything.
[07:43] <jhutchins> florian_: Take a look at netstat.
[07:43] <fyrestrtr> kristian: well, nothing since you don't have a desination. cp is the copy command to copy files around.
[07:43] <CokeNCode> hey guys, how do i get an active desktop with ubuntu ? using gnome
[07:44] <CHodapp> Oh, that's why I had no sound - it was trying to use the onboard sound on my mobo that never worked right
[07:44] <kristian> fyrestrtr: Ok, thanks :)
[07:44] <florian_> jhutchins: i did, but I get an endless list because i am using bittorrent at the same time
[07:44] <CokeNCode> also, i have bittorrent on my pc, how do i remotely (i.e command prompt only) use it to download torrents
[07:44] <sciweell> Hi there!
[07:44] <jsimmons> jack_sparrow I updated my machine to the latest bios, and I'm trying to install again
[07:45] <fyrestrtr> CokeNCode: you need a bittorrent client that you can launch from the terminal. Google 'console bittorrent client' -- or use the official client by sudo apt-get install bittorrent
[07:45] <Jack_Sparrow> good
[07:45] <erUSUL> florian_:  netstat -pn --inet | awk '/gaim/ {print $5}'
[07:45] <codecaine> hwo do you do a find on the current path ur in?
[07:45] <fyrestrtr> pwd
[07:45] <jsimmons> jack_sparrow new bios had that "sata as ide" setting
[07:46] <eXCeSS> !ati
[07:46] <Fatal`> damnit
[07:46] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:46] <Fatal`> ubuntu failed the screensaver test, afterall :(
[07:46] <Jack_Sparrow> jsimmons:  thats the ticket
[07:46] <fyrestrtr> what test is that Fatal` ?
[07:46] <florian_> erUSUL: yeah, thank you. I don't understand that but ir rocks
[07:46] <CokeNCode> that's weir,d i have bittorrent installed, but it won't run from console
[07:46] <CokeNCode> what command should i be typing ?
[07:46] <jsimmons> jack_sparrow we'll see - if nothing else, I'm tenacious
[07:46] <erUSUL> florian_: no problem
[07:47] <boga> how do i restart the sound system?
[07:47] <Jack_Sparrow> jsimmons:  Keep at it.. I'll be around
[07:47] <Fatal`> it froozen when the screensaver was going...i dont understand
[07:47] <Fatal`> yesterday, the screensaver was running almost all day and it didnt freeze
[07:47] <fyrestrtr> CokeNCode: how did you install bittorrent?
[07:48] <Feral_Kid> Ok, reloaded the ATI driver, but I am still getting this as a response:  error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[07:48] <Feral_Kid> So how do I re-build libGL so that it loaded correctly?
[07:48] <jsimmons> jack_sparrow I hope it works this time, or i'm gonna have to change hardware... :/
[07:48] <teimu> how do i rename a directory in bash?
[07:49] <vir_novum> ok, so i was just on here like 20 minutes ago, and I was having problems with my modem.  it's got a lucent chipset, and it dials up to my isp just fine.  it does the handshake fine, but it never actually connects.  there's the same problem whether i'm using kppp, wvdial, or networking to do it.
[07:49] <apokryphos> teimu: use mv
[07:49] <fyrestrtr> teimu: mv oldname newname
[07:49] <teimu> ok. thanks
[07:49] <vir_novum> someone told me to use tail -f /var/log/messages to look for errors, but there were none
[07:49] <fyrestrtr> Feral_Kid: how did you install the ati driver?
[07:50] <cypher__> vir_novum, check also /var/log/syslog
[07:50] <Feral_Kid> fyrestrtr: I used the way posted in Ubuntu forums
[07:51] <rtux> UbuntuBOYS.. I've got some bad news, sorry to say. Why doesn't Ubuntu support more than 929 megabytes of RAM?
[07:51] <fyrestrtr> forums or wiki?
[07:51] <fowlduck> rtux, it supports more than 929 MB of RAM
[07:51] <fyrestrtr> rtux: say what?
[07:51] <CokeNCode> ok, i'm not sure i get the bittorrent command line use
[07:51] <rtux> Ok, check this error.
[07:51] <Feral_Kid> fyrestrtr: Uh, not sure.. I used the link that was posted about 10 minutes ago...
[07:51] <CokeNCode> there's the option to start , stop, restart or force-reload
[07:52] <CokeNCode> how do i download an actual torrent
[07:52] <rtux> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-189390.html
[07:52] <CokeNCode> from the command line
[07:52] <rtux> Go to this thread. I received the same error from there.
[07:52] <amee2k> (i know you hate such questions...) can anyone confirm that the vmware-player-1.0.1-4 package is broken?
[07:52] <amee2k> i just checked back with #vmware and they say, it might be an incomplete package
[07:52] <timeless> i'm using Ubuntu (The Dapper Drake Release) Development Branch 6.06
[07:53] <fyrestrtr> amee2k: check the md5 sums?
[07:53] <__mikem> amee2k, yes it is, you are now the 9th person I have seen with problems with it
[07:53] <kristian> is there someone who can slovenian here? I have a page, but I think its "expired", so I can't find what I'm looking for...
[07:53] <timeless> apt-get source gnome-system-monitor=2.14.1-0ubuntu1
[07:53] <rtux> fowlduck and fyrestrtr sorry that wasn't so clear. But search for the 929 on the page you will find what I am talking about.
[07:53] <vir_novum> nothing in /var/log/syslog either
[07:53] <timeless> E: Unable to find a source package for gnome-system-monitor
[07:53] <timeless> what did i do wrong? :)
[07:53] <amee2k> fyrestrtr: o.O i used the package manager to install it
[07:53] <__mikem> amee2k, when it comes to getting vmware player to work on ubuntu, compiling it from scratch using the source packages seems to be the only thing that works
[07:53] <jsimmons> jack_sparrow looks like it's hung up again - oh well... :(
[07:54] <amee2k> __mikem: k, gonna try
[07:54] <teimu> hey guys, i just made a file called ~\dartscorer\hs.txt, which, as any linux afficianado would know, has the wrong slashes. i used rm ~\dartscore\hs.txt to delete it, but i get No such file or directory. what should i do?
[07:54] <vir_novum> i used wvdialconf to query my modem, and the output is exactly what it should be
[07:54] <CokeNCode> come on guys, i need a p2p app that will run in console
[07:54] <CokeNCode> can anyone help me out ?

[07:55] <erUSUL> teimu: rm  ~\\dartscorer\\hs.txt
[07:55] <fyrestrtr> Feral_Kid: dunno to be honest. It worked for me out of the box.
[07:55] <vir_novum> sure
[07:55] <teimu> erUSUL: got it. thanks also fyrestrtr
[07:55] <fowlduck> rtux, i doubt that is a problem.
[07:55] <Pelo> afternoon folks
[07:55] <haze76> Does Apple's (ordinary, not extreme) Airport work in Ubuntu/PPC? If so, any tips as to where I might find info to help me set it up? I also have a Sagem Fast 800 USB ethernet adapter (which sucks)
[07:55] <fyrestrtr> rtux: type this cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal: at a terminal and what do you see?
[07:56] <__mikem> ubotu vmware-player-package is known not to work on ubuntu for some reason. If you have this problem, please try compiling it with the source package.
[07:56] <jsimmons> ubuntu siumply will not install on this system
[07:56] <fowlduck> fyrestrtr, or just type "free"
[07:56] <imbrandon> haze76: yes , i'm using one atm
[07:56] <Feral_Kid> fyrestrtr: I think the real problem is that I am trying to do this via Ubuntu AMD64
[07:56] <fyrestrtr> haze76: iirc, its ipw2200 (or whatever its called) -- which seems to work.
[07:56] <reb42> haze76: hey howd it go
[07:56] <haze76> reb42: I made it, installed Ubuntu PPC. finally ! Still no way to get more than 640x480 in screen resolution though
[07:56] <vir_novum> my lucent softmodem dials my isp, but never connects.  any ideas anyone? same problem whether i use wvdial, kppp, or networking
[07:56] <hattt> hi all - forgive the dumb question but i haven't been able to dig out specifically the info i seek.  i'm thinking of installing xubuntu on this laptop of mine and have tried the livecd but the lid-close event don't work quite right.  how do people typically modify their various ACPI events under ubuntu?  editing scripts and the like?
[07:56] <Pelo> I have an RCA Lyra mp3 player when I plug it in (usb2), ubu never seems to get the available space right , any thoughts on that
[07:56] <fyrestrtr> Feral_Kid: ermmm, yeah might want to mention that at the start lol
[07:57] <fyrestrtr> hattt: what kind of laptop?
[07:57] <fowlduck> message overload, gonna work now
[07:57] <erUSUL> vir_novum: try tail -f /var/log/messages while dialing to see any problems with the process
[07:57] <hattt> averatec 1020ed
[07:57] <haze76> imbrandon: how did you make the airport work?
[07:57] <Feral_Kid> I might have to bite the bullet and fall back to 32-bit version of Ubuntu.... Hey, that minor fact slipped my mind.... :)
[07:57] <foxiness> am downloading something from CLI,with wget with -c option after my conn disconn and the download get failed and i want to resume what am downloading did just i need to reuse "wget -c whatamdownloading" to continue?
[07:57] <rtux> cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal
[07:57] <fyrestrtr> hattt: mmm .. you might have to go the script route then.
[07:57] <rtux> sorry: MemTotal:      1035844 kB
[07:57] <vir_novum> erUSUL: you told me to do that before and I did that, but no problems were found
[07:57] <imbrandon> haze76: it "just worked" (tm) i just had to put my wep key in the config
[07:57] <haze76> reb42: should I edit a settings file?
[07:57] <hattt> fyrestrtr, are various laptops supported differently?
[07:57] <erUSUL> foxiness: yes
[07:58] <haze76> imbrandon: wow, what control panel do you use to adjust its settings? Network?
[07:58] <fyrestrtr> hattt: yes, because it depends on the chipset. For my thinkpad, there are specific thinkpad acpi drivers.
[07:58] <vir_novum> erUSUL: and i know the modem works because i'm using IRC on it right now
[07:58] <imbrandon> haze76: i use kubuntu ( its in the normal conrotl pannel )
[07:58] <rtux> fyrestrtr did you see MemTotal? Happy now? :)
[07:58] <reb42> haze76: for what?
[07:58] <foxiness> thanks ;) erUSUL
[07:58] <reb42> haze76: as in what are you working on now
[07:59] <erUSUL> vir_novum: so you see all the messages from wvdial and them from pppd till something like "remote ip is whatever local ip is whatever"
[07:59] <Feral_Kid> Ok, is there way way to get the currently installed packages, so that when I re-install Ubuntu, I can let apt-get automatically get all of the packages, as opposed to be trying to remember what all I have installed?
[07:59] <fyrestrtr> rtux: you are the one that was worried that your install had a memory lapse :) clearly the system detects 1 GB of ram.
[07:59] <haze76> imbrandon: I use the ordinary Ubuntu, is kubuntu better for mac?
[07:59] <haze76> reb42: getting the 1024x768 screen resolution
[07:59] <hattt> fyrestrtr, under slackware, i have been able to use the regular modules that come with the kernel.  i'm just thinkin' - maybe i'd prefer a linux that had a better upgrade mechanism and all that jazz
[07:59] <vir_novum> erUSUL: actually, I only see usb errors, but my modem is not a usb one
[07:59] <imbrandon> haze76: i dont know about better, i'm a kubuntu guy personaly and i use it on my iBook ( thats what i'm typing this from and on an airport )
[07:59] <fyrestrtr> Feral_Kid: dpkg -l will list your currently installed packages.
[07:59] <__mikem> haze76, pastebin your xorg.conf file, and I will modify it so you can get higher resolutions
[08:00] <erUSUL> vir_novum: but you do not see pppd msgs?
[08:00] <fyrestrtr> hattt: it should work then.
[08:00] <rtux> Not really fyrestrtr ;) I think that the ATI graphics card I have is having a problem with 1 GB ram on Ubuntu. Don't ask me how..
[08:00] <__mikem> !ops
[08:00] <ubotu> Help! lilo, hedgemage, lamont, Keybuk, jdub, Amaranth, tritium, ajmitch, crimsun, ogra, CarlK, Seveas, Burgundavia, apokryphos, thoreauputic, nalioth, Madpilot, ompaul, rob, Hobbsee or gnomefreak!
[08:00] <whaley> spammed :(
[08:00] <LoRez> interesting.
[08:00] <Amaranth> wtf
[08:00] <CokeNCode> ok, i just installed the mldonkey-server
[08:00] <fyrestrtr> rtux: would love to know how, since I have ATI with 1GB ram :P
[08:00] <CokeNCode> how the ehck does this thing work ?
[08:00] <__mikem> What the hell was that
[08:00] <apokryphos> annoying
[08:00] <Feral_Kid> fyrestrtr: But with that allow for me to do an easy re-installation of packages?
[08:00] <Seveas> fun
[08:00] <Seveas> complete botnet
[08:00] <vir_novum> nope, should i run it in a separate terminal, while I use wvdial or what?
[08:01] <Seveas> BearPerson, you want the log of what happened?
[08:01] <fyrestrtr> eh what's going on?
[08:01] <fowlduck> rtux, i think you're off
[08:01] <BearPerson> Seveas, why not
[08:01] <__mikem> Seveas, what do you mean botnet?
[08:01] <erUSUL> vir_novum: when i had a modem i set it up with pppconfig and worked like charm
[08:01] <rtux> fyrestrtr did you see the solutions offered on the page I posted? Do you think they're ok?
[08:01] <hattt> fyrestrtr, i asked my first question poorly!  i apologize!  it's not whether or not acpi stuff works at all - i've seen the lid-close events in the syslog.  it's whether or not it's easy to set the lidclose to suspend to ram instead of what it does by default (activate the screensaver??)
[08:01] <haze76> __milkem: thanks. I'm on OS X right now, on a different mac. I have two laptops. I'll try and get the thing over to the other laptop. USB stick? (won't work?)
[08:01] <__mikem> I know what they are, but what does it have to do with that
[08:01] <rtux> fowlduck what do you mean?
[08:01] <erUSUL> vir_novum: yes run it in a separate terminal while you dial
[08:01] <fowlduck> rtux, i don't think it's related to that line you posted
[08:01] <erUSUL> vir_novum: it is a serial modem?
[08:01] <CokeNCode> locati type mlnet
[08:01] <fowlduck> rtux, or rather, the line you referred to
[08:01] <vir_novum> erUSUL: my intel modem worked just fine, but this lucent one is annoying
[08:01] <fyrestrtr> hattt: aaah, that, yeah I think it is. I haven't done it personally, but I have seen the steps and its just a matter of editing some files.
[08:01] <CHodapp> Hmm. The Blender package I just installed won't work - says it can't open the window.
[08:01] <CokeNCode> it teels me 'core started'
[08:02] <CokeNCode> i'm lost
[08:02] <Seveas> BearPerson, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17108
[08:02] <fowlduck> rtux, 989 MB were ser aside for DMA access
[08:02] <CokeNCode> who's the guy that was helping me before ? :(
[08:02] <vir_novum> erUSUL: it's an internal lucent softmodem
[08:02] <rtux> fowlduck I was trying to get to the core of the problem with that line. But if you want to read the entire xorg.conf I don't mind :)
[08:02] <erUSUL> !modem
[08:02] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[08:02] <fyrestrtr> CokeNCode: sudo apt-get install mldonkey-gui
[08:02] <rtux> Excuse my ignorance.. what's DMA access briefly?
[08:02] <CHodapp> Anyone here on AMD64? Can someone install Blender and try to run it?
[08:02] <CokeNCode> fyrestrtr i'm ssh ing into my box
[08:02] <fowlduck> rtux, allocation of memory does not mean that the rest is not recognized, it means that it is not allocated for that purpose
[08:02] <CokeNCode> ic an't use gui fyrestrtr
[08:02] <vir_novum> ubotu: i already read that, and another one about lucent modems in particular
[08:02] <ubotu> I know nothing about i already read that, and another one about lucent modems in particular
[08:02] <erUSUL> rtux: DMA direct memory acces
[08:02] <Seveas> rtux, direct memory access, a way to speed op I/O
[08:02] <Mr_castor> Hi, i need support about an issue with the disk mounting, i have two NTFS partition mounted by the installer wich is what i wat but they are "Read-only" how can i make those writable by default ? thanks
[08:03] <fowlduck> rtux, DMA = Direct Memory Access
[08:03] <fyrestrtr> speedier disk access by using memory rtux.
[08:03] <Seveas> vir_novum, ubotu is a bot
[08:03] <Seveas> !ubotu
[08:03] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[08:03] <MisterN> CHodapp: it's already installed here
[08:03] <fowlduck> rtux, it makes sense that the majority is allocated for DMA, which a little is reserved for other tasks
[08:03] <vir_novum> ok, that was stupid :-[
[08:03] <__mikem> Seveas, you said something about a bot net soon after that "attack" what did you mean ust out of curiousity
[08:03] <fyrestrtr> CokeNCode: mldonkey is a server, you can control it various ways (over the web, from the command line, using a gui client). Since you don't know about mldonkey, get to know it using the gui before you start command line/remote administration :)
[08:03] <rtux> Oh yes.. I have read that it's risky to do apply it on Ubuntu, but then Dapper Drake already supports DMA by default I guess.
[08:03] <fowlduck> rtux, because you want it speedy, but the card may need to perform operations that require memory
[08:04] <CHodapp> MisterN: and it runs fine for you?
[08:04] <dreamcatcher5172> whoa...that was wierd
[08:04] <MisterN> CHodapp: blender's running fine here (amd64, dapper)
[08:04] <foxiness> vir_novum, what your problem with that modem ?
[08:04] <Seveas> __mikem, that one sick loser has access to some hacked pcs and abuses them to mess up in here
[08:04] <rtux> fowlduck, is there a solution to suggest?
[08:04] <MisterN> CHodapp: at least it's starting
[08:04] <dreamcatcher5172> did that counterchannel for bots just get put up?
[08:04] <fowlduck> rtux, it's not a problem
[08:04] <erUSUL> CokeNCode: i use mldonkey with the web interface (i compile it myself)
[08:04] <fowlduck> rtux, your problem lies elsewhere
[08:04] <rtux> elsewhere = ? :D
[08:04] <CHodapp> MisterN: mine just says "Unable to open Blender window"
[08:04] <fyrestrtr> CokeNCode: type btdownloadcurses -- see what happens.
[08:04] <fowlduck> rtux, did you try: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185033&highlight=libGL.so.1.2
[08:04] <CokeNCode> fyrestrtr ok, well ... I guess i'll have to wait till I get physical acces to my linuxbox then ... either that ... or make some steady progress here. It's a pretty slow work day, so I think I'll do some research
[08:04] <rtux> I will try it now
[08:04] <MisterN> CHodapp: got opengl up and running?
[08:04] <fowlduck> rtux, ok
[08:04] <vir_novum> well, I'll try scanning for errors using that thing
[08:04] <rtux> sorry for bugging you..
[08:05] <__mikem> oh I see
[08:05] <CHodapp> MisterN: ah, no...that must be it... I forgot Blender used it
[08:05] <__mikem> So all those screen names are controlled by one person
[08:05] <fyrestrtr> CokeNCode: try the btdownloadcurses client.
[08:06] <apokryphos> __mikem: not exactly; it's a DCC exploit (see /msg ubotu dcc)
[08:06] <fowlduck> rtux, not a problem, as long as you're learning
[08:06] <__mikem> I know about the exploit apokryphos
[08:06] <rtux> thanks fowlduck
[08:06] <fyrestrtr> must have been real quick i didn't even see anything scroll by the screen
[08:06] <joevandyk> how can i get glxgears to show a frame count?
[08:06] <CokeNCode> what exploit ?
[08:07] <CokeNCode> fyrestrtr thanks
[08:07] <Feral_Kid> fyrestrtr: Or should I just cut my list of packages and then run it though a shell script?
[08:07] <fyrestrtr> joevandyk: it should show it after a while at the terminal
[08:07] <Seveas> __mikem, to change channel mode
[08:07] <Syco54645> when running cedega setup, i run the opengl test.  well i fail it. i have an nvidia card and the nvidia logo comes up each time that i go into x.  what can i do to fix this?
[08:07] <Seveas> you can only do that as op
[08:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub > Jack_Sparrow
[08:07] <__mikem> Is it moderated now or something?
[08:07] <Seveas> it was
[08:07] <__mikem> oh ok :)
[08:07] <joevandyk> fyrestrtr, how long is a while?
[08:08] <fyrestrtr> on my system, it took it 5 seconds to put the first frame count
[08:08] <fyrestrtr> joevandyk: 25469 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5093.652 FPS <-- like that.
[08:08] <joevandyk> fyrestrtr, don't see anything.  I thought there was some crazy option, like -iknowthatthisisn'tabenchmark or something
[08:08] <fyrestrtr> joevandyk: you see the gears spinning?
[08:09] <joevandyk> fyrestrtr, I don't see that
[08:09] <joevandyk> fyrestrtr, yes
[08:09] <fyrestrtr> joevandyk: strange ...
[08:09] <erUSUL> !glxgears
[08:09] <fyrestrtr> you are launching it from the terminal, right?
[08:09] <ubotu> To display the FPS in glxgears, run 'glxgears -printfps' in a terminal.
[08:09] <BC> hi... all
[08:09] <apokryphos> hello
[08:10] <joevandyk> ubotu, thanks!
[08:10] <ubotu> I know nothing about thanks!
[08:10] <fyrestrtr> ah well that explains stuff
[08:10] <fowlduck> lol
[08:10] <fyrestrtr> ubotu: botsnack
[08:10] <__mikem> joevandyk ubotu is a bot
[08:10] <ubotu> I know nothing about botsnack
[08:10] <Fatal`> bah, ubuntu has forced me to go back to using windows.... :(
[08:10] <joevandyk> __mikem, smart bot
[08:10] <__mikem> ubotu good bot
[08:10] <ubotu> I know nothing about good bot
[08:10] <siriusnova> howdy
[08:10] <siriusnova> does Dapper use madwifi-ng or madwifi-old ?
[08:10] <Fatal`> no freaking clue what is causing the random freezes
[08:10] <__mikem> darn it, ubotu is no fun anymore
[08:10] <joevandyk> ubotu is smart
[08:10] <siriusnova> !ubotu madwifi
[08:10] <ubotu> I know nothing about ubotu madwifi
[08:10] <fyrestrtr> hrmm, my glxgears doesn't have a -printfps option
[08:10] <siriusnova> :/
[08:10] <__mikem> !bad bot
[08:10] <ubotu> I know nothing about bad bot
[08:11] <skavenge> !madwifi
[08:11] <FurryNemesis> how do I check that I've got hardware acceleration via terminal?
[08:11] <fowlduck> Fatal`, sorry to hear that.  Before you give up, maybe try another distro?
[08:11] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:11] <joevandyk> !ubotu boobs

[08:11] <__mikem> joevandyk seveas doesn't really take kindly to that
[08:11] <BC> anyone can help me?
[08:11] <joevandyk> __mikem, what's seveas?
[08:11] <erUSUL> !anyone
[08:11] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[08:11] <fowlduck> Fatal`, I find suse 10.1 to be nice, but there is one immediate hangup that could make your experience unpleasant
[08:11] <fyrestrtr> FurryNemesis: glxinfo | grep direct
[08:11] <FurryNemesis> cheers
[08:11] <Fatal`> which is?
[08:12] <fowlduck> Fatal`, /join #suse, then type !smart
[08:12] <erUSUL> BC: ask your question
[08:12] <__mikem> TRied to warn him
[08:12] <BC> please
[08:12] <cart> Hi ppl, anyone knows if its possible to configure gdm for one session use an specific audio hardware (An USB Audio) ?
[08:12] <rtux> fowlduck look at this link: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d17113
[08:12] <BC> i failed to update adept package
[08:12] <rtux> fowlduck: I have all the libs should I remove the new .3 ones?
[08:12] <Mr_castor> I want to make my mounted NTFS partition Writabel how do i do that? (please message me the channel flow make me crazy :) )
[08:12] <fowlduck> rtux, ummm, no idea
[08:13] <fyrestrtr> !ntfs > Mr_castor
[08:13] <siriusnova> so anyone know if Ubuntu Dapper uses madwifi-old or madwifi-ng ?
[08:13] <rtux> that was suggested on the forum you linked meto
[08:13] <fowlduck> rtux, sorry, don't know anything about the solution, did you follow their directions?
[08:13] <BC> erUSUL, can u help me
[08:13] <erUSUL> BC: you are using kubuntu? anu error msgs? (use pastebin)
[08:13] <fyrestrtr> !tell Mr_castor about ntfs
[08:13] <erUSUL> !ntfs > Mr_castor
[08:13] <rtux> Their directions is to replace the new lib file with the old one.. but no one said from where to where :)
[08:13] <Tmob> Mr_castor, man exports
[08:13] <fyrestrtr> hrmm, must be an acl
[08:14] <erUSUL> BC: you are using kubuntu? any error msgs? (use pastebin if the msg are big)
[08:14] <Tmob> Mr_castor, you have to put rw against the ip
[08:14] <__mikem> brb
[08:14] <Fatal`> the only cool thing is my freezes are different now :)
[08:14] <erUSUL> Tmob: ntfs no nfs
[08:14] <Fatal`> if i have music playing, it still plays, and the mouse still works, but nothing is clickable
[08:14] <BC> error: Failed to Fetch http://id.archive.ubuntu.com
[08:14] <Fatal`> keyboard doesnt work, either
[08:14] <MeGaQuArK> Does anyone know how to mount an SMB share. All I get is an error.
[08:14] <fyrestrtr> Fatal`: good thing too, you need to just listen to music.
[08:14] <fowlduck> Fatal`, ouch
[08:14] <Fatal`> hehe :P
[08:15] <Tmob> Mr_castor, erUSUL, oops ;) sorry
[08:15] <fyrestrtr> MeGaQuArK: Places -> Connect to Server...
[08:15] <erUSUL> BC: maybe the mirrors are down try again later
[08:15] <erUSUL> BC: btw are you sure your inet connection is ok?
[08:15] <Tmob> MeGaQuArK, what error?
[08:15] <fowlduck> Fatal`, maybe try CTRL+ALT+F2?  That should tell you if the keyboard is actually working.  Press CTRL+ALT+F1 or CTRL+ALT+F7 to return to the GUI
[08:15] <BC> erUSUL, do you know where i can find another mirror
[08:15] <BC> yes
[08:16] <Fatal`> the only thing i tried was ctrl+shift+backspace...would the suffice?
[08:16] <BC> erUSUL: yeah maybe the server is down
[08:16] <fowlduck> Fatal`, maybe, unless X is locked
[08:16] <fowlduck> Fatal`, I'd try the other
[08:16] <Fatal`> *excuse my noobness* but is X gnome?
[08:16] <__mikem> no X != gnome
[08:16] <fowlduck> Fatal`, gnome runs on X
[08:16] <BC> erUSUL: do you where i can find another mirror for update
[08:16] <erUSUL> BC: replace id with us (usa mirrors) or es (spanish mirrors) or use main site without id. you have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:17] <Fatal`> only other x i know about is xorg.conf
[08:17] <Fatal`> hehe :/
[08:17] <fyrestrtr> no, X is a server, gnome is a gui interface.
[08:17] <fowlduck> Fatal`, yep, that's what X is
[08:17] <__mikem> no, X is just xorg
[08:17] <BC> erUSUL: thanks, i'll try
[08:17] <__mikem> on older versions of fedora its XFree86
[08:17] <teimu> crap! i was using vi to edit a file, and while it was open, i changed the file's location! now vi is telling me the file is not open for writing. what vi command can i use to write it somewhere else?

[08:20] <BC> i'll try
[08:20] <__mikem> I speak english, I was just wondering?
[08:20] <fyrestrtr> oh ... noo .. don't say the e word!!
[08:21] <MeGaQuArK> Using Places -> Connect to Server does mount the FS, it just connects you to the server. There are many programs that will not access files that are on a Network Share, only locally.
[08:21] <erUSUL> __mikem: i speak spanish...

[08:21] <olimar> Hi all I have some severe problem I think, when updating my distro I had to shut down my PC when rebooting everything works ok but dpkg is broken, I make dpkg -configure -a and when it tries to intall wvdial the whole system freezes..
[08:21] <olimar> any help?
[08:22] <erUSUL> olimar: your question i missed it
[08:22] <savage> this thing begin to make me bad
[08:22] <olimar> erUSUL, eh?
[08:22] <Mr_castor> ok i already have read the automaticaly mounting partition help: i repeat because i haven't seem to describe my issue clearly enough. my NTFS partition are mounted, readable. But i can't write on them that's my problem i want to write on those
[08:22] <olimar> can't you scroll back?
[08:22] <fyrestrtr> MeGaQuArK: learn how to use mount then.
[08:22] <fyrestrtr> MeGaQuArK: psst ... you might want to check out smbmount ;)
[08:23] <grogoreo> hi
[08:23] <fowlduck> Mr_castor, writing to NTFS partitions is dangerous and unsupported at the moment
[08:23] <fyrestrtr> Mr_castor: writing on ntfs is not supported on ubuntu
[08:23] <erUSUL> olimar: is not that easy in irssi as it is in xchat i supose
[08:23] <olimar> ok no problem
[08:23] <fowlduck> Mr_castor, writing is currently limited to only overwriting the file and it has to be the same size....fairly useless
[08:24] <cjones> does anybody know what may cause lockups when useing firefox?
[08:24] <rsk> cjones bugs
[08:24] <BC> :q, is not quit with safe
[08:24] <cjones> no kidding
[08:24] <olimar> I wanted to upgrade my distro, in the process of upgrading I had to shut down my PC after rebooting  everything works ok but dpkg is broken, I make dpkg -configure -a and when it tries to intall wvdial the whole system freezes..
[08:24] <olimar> install
[08:24] <fyrestrtr> olimar: how do you know its broken?
[08:24] <cjones> tsk do you know winch bug?
[08:24] <grogoreo> for some reason Rythembox can play MP3 files but no Ogg files. I have gstreamer 0.10 installed with the good, bad and ugly plugins
[08:25] <fyrestrtr> cjones: what version of ff?
[08:25] <Hakker> k one quick question how on earth can I pass protect phpmyadmin? coz I got all users on a password already according to the info
[08:25] <olimar> well I don't know if it is, I only suppose ;)
[08:25] <MeGaQuArK> I don't see smbmount listed in Synaptic???
[08:25] <aaronc> heya... what do I have to do to enable MP3 support in Amarok?
[08:25] <fyrestrtr> Hakker: look it up on the website please, this is #ubuntu support, not phpmyadmin support.
[08:25] <olimar> the point is, I run dpkg -configure -a (as said) it trie to install wvdial and the whole system freezes..
[08:25] <Beto> hello?
[08:25] <grogoreo> can you have installed gstreamer 0.8 plugins to be used by 0.10?
[08:25] <olimar> tries

[08:27] <Luke_> donza: you have to add a macbook repo but its like a 1 line edit

[08:30] <__mikem> haze76 good, now you need to paste the url in the room so I can open the page
[08:31] <dli> Beto, yes

[08:31] <olimar> I wanted to upgrade my distro, in the process of upgrading I had to shut down my PC after rebooting  everything works ok but dpkg is broken, I make dpkg -configure -a and when it tries to intall wvdial the whole system freezes..
[08:31] <Beto> thanx cant wait till i get the cd
[08:31] <__mikem> good
[08:31] <Luke_> donza: good luck
[08:31] <LinuxDesktop> truzak: it just crashed mine, too after a few seconds
[08:31] <donza> gonna need it :D
[08:31] <haze76> I'm still learning :-)
[08:31] <sys8976> olimar: one sec let me look into that
[08:31] <dli> Beto, 112MB is like the limit :(
[08:31] <skavenge> the livecd says 256 megs right on the sleeve
[08:31] <timeless> can someone help me use apt/archives? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17115
[08:31] <Beto> what?
[08:31] <Beto> is dat good or bad?
[08:31] <kristian> Hatred, are you here??
[08:31] <olimar> well maybe dpkg is not broken, but as said dpkg -configure -a makes the system freeze when trying to install wvdial..
[08:31] <olimar> ok
[08:32] <__mikem> funny, I can't get firefox to start for some reason
[08:32] <dli> Beto, you can't run livecd, I suppose
[08:32] <Beto> NOOO
[08:32] <truzak> LinuxDesktop: you have the non-free plugin too?
[08:32] <mk> the video autodetect is asking me how much memory to be used by the video card
[08:32] <Beto> is there another way to install ubuntu?
[08:32] <sys8976> olimar: what version of wvdial are you trying to install?
[08:32] <mk> what should I set it to?
[08:32] <sys8976> mk: what card do you have?
[08:32] <LinuxDesktop> truzak: yes, I do
[08:32] <larson9999> just found out i'm going to need to have windows on this machine for a while.  i'll dual boot and want to access a share a directory between the 2.  in the past i would make it fat32.  but now i'm thinking if using ext2 ifs for windows.  does that work well?
[08:33] <mk> ati
[08:33] <skavenge> its going to have to be the alternate cd with text install but afaik they dont ship that one so it has to be downloaded
[08:33] <dli> Beto, take the hdd out to another computer (in externial enclosure, for example), install it there
[08:33] <mk> the exact model is a few screens ago
[08:33] <ccooke> larson9999: yes
[08:33] <ccooke> larson9999: I've been using it here for ages
[08:33] <mk> (and there seems to be no cancel)
[08:33] <mk> (or back)
[08:33] <sys8976> mk: how much ram on card? is it an older card or newer one?
[08:33] <ccooke> larson9999: I'd advise you to create a set partition for it, though
[08:33] <garrett> hello. i'm trying to compile FLTK2, and it stops at "configure: could not find x11 libraries", but doesn't specify WHAT libraries. i have libx11-6 and libx11-dev, so i'm not sure what it's barking at me about. any thoughts?
[08:33] <garrett> (this is on Breezy)
[08:34] <mk> it's on the motherboard if I recall, and I bought the board a year ago
[08:34] <Beto> ugh this is the only pc that i have, and the closest other pc is at the library
[08:34] <larson9999> ccooke, cool.  what do you mean by a 'set partition'?
[08:34] <sys8976> mk: do 128 then that should work
[08:34] <mk> kb, yes?
[08:34] <sys8976> mg
[08:34] <haze76> Got the airport working, but Firefox will not show a webpage. I suppose it might have to do something with what kind of encryption I use or if I use encryption at all. I share the connection from my PowerBook to the iBook running Ubuntu.
[08:34] <sys8976> mke meg
[08:35] <olimar> uh
[08:35] <olimar> I didn't want to install wvdial
[08:35] <olimar> I simply wanted to upgrade my whole system...
[08:35] <dli> Beto, can you buy some ram for the laptop, if it supports another 512MB?
[08:35] <olimar> but it hangs there...
[08:35] <Beto> its not a laptop its  desktop with XP SP2
[08:36] <dli> Beto, your computer has a fast cpu, but minimum ram
[08:36] <__mikem> haze76, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17117
[08:36] <larson9999> ccooke, do you mean create a new partition to share?
[08:36] <Beto> well when i open the pc it says dat my RAM  is 118 but when i look at the system info it says 112
[08:36] <hctibtipots> is there a list of games that will werk with wine??
[08:36] <dli> Beto, 112MB with winXP, how sluggish could that be?
[08:36] <sys8976> olimar: ok looking some more one sec
[08:36] <ninuhadida_> maybe you got memory shared for your vga
[08:36] <fyrestrtr> hctibtipots: www.winehq.org
[08:37] <Beto> lol i dunno
[08:37] <larson9999> Beto you need more ram
[08:37] <olimar> ok
[08:37] <thomaswebb> ok, can i have the link for the lamp setup webpage?
[08:37] <Beto> so im stuck with this piece of trash
[08:37] <thomaswebb> !LAMP
[08:37] <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
[08:37] <haze76> __milkem: thank you very much. I'll let you know how it works. I took the one that was in /etc/X11 - hope it was the correct place, because there is one in /usr/share/xresprobe as well
[08:37] <thomaswebb> thank you
[08:37] <Beto> what bout puppy linux?
[08:37] <sys8976> Beto: yea xp alone wants 256mg and if it is showing 112 then you are going to run into issues
[08:37] <olimar> at least I found the version number of wvdial it's 1.55-1ubuntu3
[08:37] <lobo_nz> I have a Fuji Zerox Printer, I need to know how to give my username and password - there is no field to fill in in the printer driver. (The #cups people are asleep)
[08:37] <__mikem> yes that was the right one
[08:37] <dli> Beto, it's 128MB in total (built-in), but 16MB used by video card (integrated), and leaves you 128-16=112MB for system use
[08:37] <erUSUL> olimar: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade
[08:38] <xXdaveXx> i am trying to install a copy of fluxbox on my copy of ubuntu server 6.06. I can't find the name of the APT package for fluxbox. anyone know it?
[08:38] <sys8976> erUSUL: good call
[08:38] <ninuhadida_> maybe you can try xubuntu, never used it myself tho
[08:38] <fyrestrtr> xXdaveXx: apt-cache search fluxbox
[08:38] <olimar> ok
[08:38] <Beto> so im screwed basically without more RAM?
[08:38] <dli> Beto, most likely, you can buy one chip of 512MB, and it will have 624MB ram for system, then, it's a fast machine
[08:38] <sys8976> xubuntu is nice I ran it for awhile
[08:39] <xXdaveXx> apt-cache search fluxbox didn't bring up anything, i already tried it
[08:39] <erUSUL> !repos
[08:39] <__mikem> xubuntu is probably the best of the three
[08:39] <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
[08:39] <mk> thanks
[08:39] <fyrestrtr> xXdaveXx: it gave me 9 results, one of them being fluxbox
[08:39] <ninuhadida_> i think i'll download it tonight, just to see what it offers
[08:39] <Beto> ok ima search a 512mb
[08:39] <girish> hiii frenz....i wish to install ubuntu 6.06 is there a way for me to do the upgrade from 5.10 without having to re download all the applications....can i back up and use already downloaded packages?
[08:39] <olimar> yep works! great!! Many thanks!
[08:39] <dli> Beto, if you can install, ubuntu will run, but poorly. you can install debian with 112MB ram
[08:39] <xXdaveXx> fyrestrtr: ok, let me try again
[08:39] <fyrestrtr> !upgrade
[08:40] <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.

[08:40] <skavenge> Beto; you more than likely could use the  alternate cd with text install but afaik they dont ship that one so it has to be downloaded
[08:40] <erUSUL> olimar: no problem
[08:40] <dli> Beto, what's your presario model number?

[08:41] <dli> graveson, open http://whatismyip.com
[08:41] <graveson> sys8976: my NAT'ed IP is not in the networking util
[08:41] <zenit> ifconfig for the local one
[08:41] <Beto> where do i find the model number
[08:41] <Beto> its a presario 1800+
[08:41] <boga> what does this line mean? `ln -s ../bivailable/gitto ./milow'
[08:42] <sys8976> dli: that will only show his real world ip not the nat one
[08:42] <dli> Beto, printed on the machine
[08:42] <Beto> oh

[08:43] <graveson> dli: thanks
[08:43] <bolsh> girish: You will need to run a script that updates your sources list, and then run an updage, dist-upgrade
[08:43] <ninuhadida_> girish: you can just change the apt source tho i dont know if the packages you got will be cached
[08:43] <graveson> sys8976: ifconfig does not show the public ip

[08:44] <sys8976> graveson: no I thought you were wanting the nat one which is inside the network, sorry I misunderstood what you were seeking, you can also go to isc.sans.org to see the real world ip also
[08:44] <ninuhadida_> bolsh: nice guide
[08:44] <Beto> or serial number or the product key?

[08:46] <vir_novum> ok, so I've tried using kppp, networking, and wvdial to connect to the internet.  I have a lucent soft modem.  it will dial, but then does not actually connect.
[08:46] <dli> vir_novum, can you try wvdial ?
[08:47] <vir_novum> i've monitored /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog, but I only ever get usb error messages, and my modem is a pci one
[08:47] <erUSUL> johlin: use gimp?? XD
[08:47] <sys8976> I got an odd one, I installed clamav and now when I try to install certain things it errors on clvm is there a way to remove the clamav
[08:47] <phoenixbyrd> dli, ok, so I've tried using kppp, networking, and wvdial to connect :P
[08:47] <twinoatl> hi
[08:47] <vir_novum> yes, I can use wvdial, it dials but does not connect
[08:47] <johlin> erUSUL: nope. I tried it. but it wasn't good enough. Also, it didn't open my psd-files correctly.
[08:47] <Led_Zeppelin> anyone here installed Mplayer on Ubuntu?
[08:47] <sys8976> johlin: what about inkscape?
[08:47] <twinoatl> does somebody have problems with DVD recording ?
[08:47] <zenit> johlin: what you sometimes can do, is to perform the install in windows and then just try to copy over the installation directory.
[08:47] <dli> vir_novum, what's the error message?
[08:47] <atoponce> anyone know of a task preview for ubuntu? aka- when you hover your mouse over the task in the taskbar, it shows a thumbnail screenshot of the app?
[08:48] <twinoatl> I do not manage to burn a simple folder on my DVD
[08:48] <erUSUL> Led_Zeppelin: me (sudo apt-get install mplayer-k7)
[08:48] <zenit> johlin: but then it depends if you have access to a windows setup
[08:48] <monomaniacpat> usb mice drivers, anyone?
[08:48] <__mikem> be back later, bye
[08:48] <vir_novum> dli, that's the odd thing, there is none
[08:48] <vir_novum> it just never connects
[08:48] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: what is your repository?
[08:48] <Led_Zeppelin> cat you show us the /etc/apt/sources.list file?
[08:48] <vir_novum> although I've gotten a "time out" error on at least one occasion
[08:48] <bruenig> !pastebin
[08:48] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[08:48] <sys8976> I got an odd one, I installed clamav and now when I try to install certain things it errors on clvm is there a way to remove the clamav
[08:48] <erUSUL> Led_Zeppelin: i have the official ones
[08:48] <dli> vir_novum, time out at which step?
[08:48] <erUSUL> !info mplayer
[08:48] <twinoatl> I have problems with writing DVD-RW. Can somebody help me ?
[08:48] <ubotu> mplayer: The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux. In repository multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre7try2+cvs20060117-0ubuntu8 (dapper), package size 3265 kB, installed size 7916 kB
[08:49] <johlin> zenit: I have Windows installed on this machine also. Why do I need it in this case?
[08:49] <erUSUL> !repos > Led_Zeppelin
[08:49] <vir_novum> it initializes, i hear it dialing, it's waiting for the connect response, but it never gets one
[08:49] <atoponce> i am looking for something similar to tab preview for firefox
[08:49] <erUSUL> !easysource > Led_Zeppelin
[08:49] <ROBOd> hello
[08:49] <sys8976> hello
[08:49] <zenit> johlin: oki, then try to install it in windows and then mount the partition in ubunutu (if it's not mounted already) and copy over the installdir
[08:50] <johlin> zenit: I do have Photoshop there already. I'll try that.
[08:50] <haze76> __milkem: It does not work
[08:50] <ROBOd> how to get e17 for ubuntu dapper?
[08:50] <Usunny> east 17 ?
[08:50] <sys8976> e107?
[08:50] <Valehru> !xgl
[08:50] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[08:51] <zenit> johlin: Anyway, I suggest taking a look at some comments here: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=2631&iTestingId=2899
[08:51] <bruenig> Led_Zeppelin you can always use the ubuntu package search engine that comes already installed in firefox
[08:51] <ninuhadida_> guys, is there any application that is similar to gparted but without having to format the hdd when you create partitions, resize etc?
[08:51] <ROBOd> enlightenment 0.17 ?
[08:51] <ROBOd> anyone? :)
[08:51] <zenit> johlin: but if you don't get it working, you might have much better luck with an older version.
[08:51] <haze76> __milkem: I'm not sure what it could be, but I have an iBook 700 mhz ("icebook")
[08:51] <bruenig> Led_Zepplin, here is a search for mplayer, just get what you want select a mirror and install with Gdebi http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&subword=1&version=dapper&release=all&keywords=Mplayer&sourceid=mozilla-search
[08:52] <johlin> zenit: of wine or photoshop?
[08:52] <punkmexic> hello can someone help me with opera9 in ubuntu? it doesnt validate the path of java so i cant use java in opera :(
[08:52] <vir_novum> so, should I maybe try installing different drivers for my lucent winmodem?
[08:52] <codecaine> anybody know a small program that you can share files on a webserver?
[08:52] <codecaine> like hfs on windows
[08:53] <zenit> johlin: photoshop
[08:53] <fowlduck> ifolder?
[08:53] <ninuhadida_> you mean like apache?
[08:53] <sys8976> punkmexic: I am using opera in ubuntu and have  no issues
[08:53] <grogoreo> hi
[08:53] <johlin> zenit: too bad. I only have CS2.
[08:53] <codecaine> naw smaller
[08:53] <fowlduck> codecaine, ifolder?
[08:53] <sys8976> punkmexic: have you tried to update the java?
[08:53] <codecaine> jsut something you add files on there and they can download from the webserver
[08:53] <punkmexic> maybe i need a library sys8976
[08:53] <codecaine> hmm let me see what ifolder is
[08:53] <punkmexic> wheres the button to update java
[08:53] <fowlduck> codecaine, www.ifolder.com
[08:53] <erUSUL> johlin: try this repo 'deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main' maybe a newer version of wine helps
[08:53] <punkmexic> its jaava 5 the lastest
[08:53] <grogoreo> I can I change all of the permissions of every file and or folder with one command. I did have one using find but I lost it
[08:53] <[Ex0r] > codecaine, lol
[08:53] <ninuhadida_> i use apache for that, i just install it and copy/link folders to /var/www
[08:54] <ninuhadida_> never heard of ifolder tho
[08:54] <fowlduck> codecaine, what about ftp?
[08:54] <ninuhadida_> maybe it's better for that purpose
[08:54] <fowlduck> ninuhadida_, i love it :)
[08:54] <punkmexic> sys8976,  how do i uptdate java
[08:54] <zenit> girish: files OR folders, or both files AND folders?
[08:54] <finalbeta> I play enemy territory windowed. It grabs my cursor. under windows I could use the windows key to exit the window. How can I exit the window without closing the game in ubuntu?
[08:54] <zenit> sorry, I meatn grogoreo
[08:54] <bruenig> punkmexic, updating java wont do anything IMO
[08:54] <zenit> meant
[08:55] <punkmexic> I THINK is a problem from opera9
[08:55] <aaronc> has anyone been able to get www.pandora.com to work in Ubunutu?
[08:55] <ninuhadida_> nope, no sound :(
[08:55] <Led_Zeppelin> bruenig: used. apt-cache search mplayer, get kmplayer thats all.
[08:55] <punkmexic> i saw  a website that says to...use a command from terminal to use opera with java
[08:55] <punkmexic> but i dont want to keep doing that command
[08:55] <hareem> how to activate universal and multiverse library
[08:55] <whitepyro> Anyone know how to setup sendmail or postfix?
[08:55] <grogoreo> zenit, well both but you could just change the command slightly for either. But my goal is to change the it with chmod and chown etc
[08:55] <erUSUL> Led_Zeppelin: have you enabled all the repositories
[08:55] <erUSUL> ?
[08:56] <bruenig> Led_Zeppelin, that's cool, just showing your options
[08:56] <sys8976> punkmexic: if it was an issue in opera I would be having the same issue since I am installed and using it right now within ubuntu 6.06
[08:56] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: yep.
[08:56] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: how do I know what version I am running?
[08:56] <erUSUL> !repos > hareem
[08:56] <nostalg1c> hm
[08:56] <erUSUL> Led_Zeppelin: cat /etc/lsb-release
[08:56] <zenit> grogoreo: find . -type d -exec chmod 666 {} \;
[08:56] <sys8976> punkmexic: click help and about opera and see if java installed and what version
[08:57] <grogoreo> zenit, thanks!
[08:57] <zenit> grogoreo: something like this? But be careful ;)
[08:57] <erUSUL> Led_Zeppelin: and have you updated the packages? (sudo apt-get update)
[08:57] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: yes. apt-get update
[08:57] <erUSUL> Led_Zeppelin: mplayer is there look
[08:57] <erUSUL> !info mplayer
[08:57] <ubotu> mplayer: The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux. In repository multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre7try2+cvs20060117-0ubuntu8 (dapper), package size 3265 kB, installed size 7916 kB
[08:57] <punkmexic> Java
[08:57] <punkmexic> No Java Runtime Environment installed
[08:57] <nostalg1c> i had 4 SATA disks installed and one PATA, i added a promise card with 4 extra PATA disks and now linux can't find my sata disks anymore (sd[a-d] ).. bios sees all the disks, linux only sees the pata ones
[08:57] <grogoreo> zenit, will that recursivly go through the folders?
[08:57] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: then I did apt-cache search mplayer
[08:57] <nostalg1c> no kernel changes happened inbetween...
[08:57] <zenit> grogoreo: yes
[08:57] <punkmexic> but i hava java in firefox
[08:57] <punkmexic> it says this sys8976  Java
[08:57] <punkmexic> No Java Runtime Environment installed
[08:57] <nostalg1c> anyone have any idea what happened?
[08:57] <zenit> grogoreo: that command changes folders only, try -type f for files
[08:57] <finalbeta> aaronc, that site works "fine" here.
[08:58] <grogoreo> zenit, that's great. thanks again
[08:58] <zenit> no problem
[08:58] <Acill> can someone tell me how to make a partition go back to read/write?
[08:58] <Acill> somehow it changed itself to read only!!
[08:58] <fyrestrtr> grogoreo: or chmod -R 666 . in the main directory
[08:58] <dli> grodius, chmod 666 to folders?
[08:58] <bruenig> punkmexic, determine the path it is using for java and copy your stuff into that path
[08:58] <sys8976> punkmexic: it should say
[08:58] <sys8976> Java Runtime Environment installed
[08:58] <fyrestrtr> sometimes, it just a simple -R that can make a world of difference :)
[08:58] <sys8976> punkmexic:  hence that is your issue
[08:58] <dli> grogoreo,, chmod 666 to folders?
[08:58] <fyrestrtr> Acill: what partition?
[08:58] <erUSUL> Led_Zeppelin: and you enabled universe and multiverse?
[08:58] <lonegeek> What would cause my mp3s not to play in amarok...i have w32codecs installled.....
[08:59] <whitepyro> lonegeek xmms works w/ mp3s..
[08:59] <grogoreo> fyrestrtr, thanks
[08:59] <punkmexic> can u explain me how to do that since im a newbie sys8976
[08:59] <stelki> Where does gnome menu configs hide themselves?
[08:59] <sys8976> punkmexic: yes one sec please
[08:59] <lonegeek> whitepyro: i like amarok better......
[08:59] <punkmexic> when i put inside from opera several paths of java it doesnt authenticate it
[08:59] <Acill> its hda1
[08:59] <ninuhadida_> lonegeek, w32 codecs doesnt have to do with mp3
[08:59] <whitepyro> lonegeek: ahh..
[08:59] <ninuhadida_> let me find a link for you..
[09:00] <erUSUL> lonegeek: what backend are you using default one? install gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse
[09:00] <Acill> fyrestrtr: Its hda1
[09:00] <dli> stelki, system default? /usr/share/applications/
[09:00] <ninuhadida_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[09:00] <stelki> dli: alrighty, thankyou
[09:00] <lonegeek> erUSUL: amarok uses xine engine...?
[09:01] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: #flood
[09:01] <ninuhadida_> xine is the best, but you can use gstreamet
[09:01] <ninuhadida_> *gstreamer
[09:01] <dli> stelki, don't modify them anyway, try a menu editor instead
[09:01] <sys8976> punkmexic: here is a link with pics to walk you through that process https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net/ubuntu-dev.html
[09:01] <erUSUL> lonegeek: you can choose what engine it uses afaik
[09:01] <stelki> dli: the thing is, I have a menu from transgaming I just cant get rid of
[09:01] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: http://pastebin.ca/78055
[09:02] <punkmexic> thanx sys8976  ill go and try to solve it
[09:02] <lonegeek> erUSUL: i only get xine as an option
[09:02] <dli> stelki, can you remove the package?
[09:02] <ninuhadida_> maybe you haven't installed other packages
[09:02] <ninuhadida_> but xine is the best, IMO
[09:02] <stelki> dli: probably, but thats not what I'm looking to do
[09:02] <whitepyro> Dose anyone know how to setup postfix?
[09:02] <dli> stelki, smeg is a gnome menu editor
[09:03] <raskil> hi is anyone here on bt broadband in the uk?
[09:03] <Acill> does anyone know? I need this drive to be read/write
[09:03] <Acill> and I am a linux noob as you can tell
[09:03] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: it looks good right? still can't find mplayer
[09:03] <ninuhadida_> what filesystem?
[09:03] <stelki> dli: right, using alacarte atm, but will try
[09:03] <Kennie> hi installed newest ubuntu dapper drake and i get if i do cat /etc/debian_version that its unstable is that true?
[09:03] <Kennie> (server version)
[09:03] <ninuhadida_> ext3, ntfs?
[09:03] <larson9999> erusul or gimpshop
[09:03] <erUSUL> Led_Zeppelin: you have multiverse from backports but not from dapper. try source-o-matic
[09:04] <raptros-v76> Acill: whats the question?
[09:04] <bbrazil> Kennie: eh, ignore that :)
[09:04] <larson9999> opps i'm a bit late
[09:04] <erUSUL> !easysource > Led_Zeppelin
[09:04] <Kennie> not true? :P, cus need to be a very stable server
[09:04] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: what is source-o-matic. I don't think this existed in Debian
[09:04] <bbrazil> Kennie: it's just something minor that they never changed before putting out dapper
[09:04] <dli> Kennie, install debian then :)
[09:04] <erUSUL> Led_Zeppelin: is a web page that generates pretty good sources.list files
[09:05] <SuperCPP> Hello.
[09:05] <agr3ss1on> Hi everybody, I'm new at ubuntu and I got the disk image burned to a cd, but now i can't get the cd to run. Can someone help me figure out waht to do next?
[09:05] <larson9999> Kennie, i think unstable in the debian world means newer than 5 years old
[09:05] <erUSUL> larson9999: ???
[09:05] <stelki> !easysource > stelki
[09:05] <void^> Kennie: have a look at debian.org for information about debian releases and their meaning
[09:05] <Kennie> yeah but there is no /etc/ubuntu_version ?: P
[09:05] <girish_> hiii all is there a way to backup all the softwares i have downloaded?
[09:05] <stelki> Kennie: edit the debian_version to stable if that makes you feel better? :P
[09:05] <dli> Kennie, one major new feature from dapper is being buggy:)
[09:05] <larson9999> erusul that was a way late message to an earlier post.  just pointing out that if you're photoshop guy and are looking at gimp, you might want to check out gimpshop
[09:06] <raskil> agr3ss1on, cd to run?? you mean boot?
[09:06] <agr3ss1on> yeah
[09:06] <erUSUL> larson9999: not me it was johlin
[09:06] <agr3ss1on> (powerbook G4 btw)
[09:06] <girish_> Anyone knows how to backup softwares in ubuntu
[09:06] <Kennie> it was planned to be a debian machine but the crappy kernel didnt find the sata hdds and i couldnt be arsed to do much work to get it work (neither the 2.6 kernel would find it)
[09:06] <raskil> agr3ss1on, what is the cd of?
[09:06] <agr3ss1on> ubuntu 6.06
[09:06] <raskil> is anyone using BT internet
[09:06] <larson9999> well, it was a long time ago anyway, he's probably got cs setup by now
[09:07] <Subhuman> yes me
[09:07] <raskil> agr3ss1on, what does it lool like
[09:07] <dli> Kennie, can you install debian testing?
[09:07] <Subhuman> rakil, i use bt internet
[09:07] <raskil> Subhuman, you've got bt broadband?
[09:07] <Subhuman> yep
[09:07] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: thanks! you are the best.
[09:07] <Subhuman> 2.2mbit.
[09:07] <agr3ss1on> its just a cd-r i burned using the iso on ubunut.com
[09:07] <Kennie> dli what u mean?
[09:07] <erUSUL> Led_Zeppelin: no problem. have you installed mplayer then?
[09:07] <raskil> Subhuman, cool can you test this url for me  dynamic.fmpub.net
[09:07] <girish_> Anyone knows to backup softwares to cdrom on ubuntu
[09:07] <girish_> ?
[09:08] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: heh, bigger problems. Its asking for dependencies.
[09:08] <Subhuman> raskil i get hello world'd
[09:08] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: mplayer-nogui: Depends: libjack0.80.0-0
[09:08] <Subhuman> why?
[09:08] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: i though it would of taken care of that
[09:08] <Subhuman> Led_Zeppelin, "sudo apt-get install libjack" ??
[09:08] <dli> Kennie, debian etch, instead of sarge
[09:08] <Led_Zeppelin> Subhuman: not that easy
[09:08] <raskil> Subhuman, damn I was hopeing it was all of BT - they provide adverts for digg ect and I cant get the server
[09:08] <erUSUL> Led_Zeppelin: it should. i'm going to paste my sources.list in pastebin
[09:08] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: thanks!!!!
[09:09] <Kennie> dli google says etch giving even MORE trouble with that s-ata driver :p
[09:09] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: using dapper?
[09:09] <girish_> can i backup apt cache on cdrom???how???
[09:09] <Subhuman> raskil, your not using peerguardian/adblock or anything that would blacklist ad servers?
[09:09] <moparfan90> hello. i am trying to copy files from a Cd but it says permission dinied. what should i do
[09:09] <Subhuman> anyways im out
[09:09] <Led_Zeppelin> girish: back it up on a file.
[09:09] <Subhuman> later
[09:09] <codecaine> when you install wine with synaptic is there anything else I need to make it work better?
[09:09] <raskil> agr3ss1on, did you burn the iso image to the cd or burn a copy of the iso itself to the cd
[09:09] <dli> Kennie, what's the kernel version in etch?
[09:09] <agr3ss1on> the image
[09:10] <girish_> Led: hi how to do that?
[09:10] <Kennie> dli pff dunno didnt test but sarge didnt work @ linux26 boot parameter
[09:10] <erUSUL> Led_Zeppelin: http://pastebin.ca/78064
[09:10] <patrickj> I need a really good program for programming xhtml/css/php
[09:10] <raskil> Subhuman, nope Ive been talking to the guys at fmpub.net - I think its probably a firewall block on my current ip -- bt seems to be full of wanabe hackers
[09:10] <Kennie> but more important is ubuntu 6.06 stable enough to run 1 month or so crash free?
[09:11] <dli> Kennie, etch supports sata
[09:11] <sys8976> patlkli: send me more info
[09:11] <dli> Kennie, I saw too many dev bugs being asked here again and again, after dapper released
[09:11] <raskil> agr3ss1on, so you can see all the files that where in the image and not just the image itself -- then do you need help getting you pc too boot from cd??
[09:11] <patrickj> what would be a good editor :P
[09:11] <mormoloc> lol
[09:11] <sys8976> patlkli: linux or windows?
[09:11] <KenSentMe> patrickj: for what?
[09:12] <agr3ss1on> its not a pc. its a mac. I can't get the mac to boot from CD
[09:12] <discordance> patrickj, bluefish is pretty sweet and has some built in syntax
[09:12] <patrickj> Linux
[09:12] <mormoloc> does ubuntu have BlueScreen of Death?
[09:12] <sys8976> patlkli: linux there is screem and quanta
[09:12] <raskil> mac --- mac key during boot??
[09:12] <erUSUL> patrickj: emacs of course XD
[09:12] <patrickj> Bluefish is annoying because when i load filed it doesnt auto highlight my php code and, I do have auto highlight enabled
[09:12] <agr3ss1on> okay. thanks
[09:12] <cArNaGe`> Shutting down  time for vacation   later taters..........................
[09:12] <KenSentMe> patrickj: no, i mean for code or something. I'm pretty happy with the standard editor in gnome, gedit
[09:12] <raskil> mormoloc, nope we have kernel panics
[09:12] <hareem> any one know how i can install kiosk admin tool
[09:12] <dli> Kennie, I suggest you to search hardware howto for your sata chipset
[09:12] <discordance> ok have you tried just using gedit?
[09:12] <patrickj> hmm
[09:12] <patrickj> I used Q+
[09:13] <patrickj> crashed when I tried to add a project :\
[09:13] <sys8976> patlkli: I like screem myself
[09:13] <redir> emacs
[09:13] <Kennie> dli only solution was to install sarge on a IDE, recompile kernel and so and then move it to the s-ata disk
[09:13] <patrickj> does screem to php?
[09:13] <discordance> the new version of gedit included in dapper has the ability to edit remote files
[09:13] <mormoloc> raskil: kernel panics?
[09:13] <rtux> Ok. I am going to format my HD because I have messed my ATI drivers. Too many advices.. too many commands now everything is messed up. So one advice is needed. I realized that the less is the swap file the more is the performance in Ubuntu mine is now 500 mb and my RAM is 1000 GB. Is that good or try lower?
[09:13] <redir> patrickj: emacs
[09:13] <dli> Kennie, if you have an ide disk at hand
[09:13] <patrickj> redir: is there a nice graphical version of emacs? lol
[09:13] <raskil> mormoloc, right but I've only ever seen on once
[09:14] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: you are the best! installed now...lets wait and see :p
[09:14] <mormoloc> raskil: what exactly happens?
[09:14] <moparfan90> im trying to install quake 4. i need to copy files over from my CDroms and it says permission dinied with out sudo and when i use sudo it say cannot start divice
[09:14] <moparfan90> what should i do?
[09:14] <Kennie> dli sure have one but what if the damn thing needs to be reinstalled, would give MUCH downtime since i need to recompile kernel and whole stuff and copy from hd -> hd
[09:14] <redir> patrickj: I am sure there is
[09:14] <Led_Zeppelin> so, how closly do the Debian and Ubuntu people work together?
[09:14] <erUSUL> Led_Zeppelin: no problem
[09:14] <raskil> mormoloc, well if your in a terminal it might print out other wise your comp will just lock up
[09:14] <redir> AquaEmacs for MacOSX
[09:14] <MrWags> How do I make OSS sound mixer default for system instead of ALSA mixer?
[09:14] <lonegeek> What would cause amarok not to play mp3s? but everything else does
[09:14] <mormoloc> raskil: will i have to reinstall ubuntu after a kernel pannic?
[09:14] <redir> patrickj: in fact I think it is XEmacs
[09:15] <hareem> can some one tell me how to install the kiosk admin tool in ubuntu
[09:15] <KenSentMe> moparfan90: i just used the linux installer and it installed from the dvd, i didn't have to copy files first
[09:15] <hostix> hey
[09:15] <jessid> hello guys, I want to ask a little question: when i have installed libservlet2.4-java can I already run JSPs?????
[09:15] <dli> Kennie, a basic debian installation is 300MB, so, 1 minute of cp time
[09:15] <hostix> im making a shutcut in KDE the command is  "konqueror sftp://*****.no-ip.org" but when i click on it konquerors opens but i get "An error occurred while loading sftp://******.no-ip.org:"
[09:15] <moparfan90> , well i have the CD version and there is 4 cds
[09:15] <hostix>  but if i click on the address bar with the sftp command  it works
[09:15] <patrickj> ill go dl it now, there is a gtk2 version in the cvs :P
[09:15] <raskil> mormoloc, nope its vary rare you need to reinstall ubuntu - apart from Harddrive failure
, i have the cd version. there are 4 cds and online it says you need to copy the files over
[09:16] <hareem> any one know how i can install kiosk admin tool
[09:16] <mormoloc> raskil: LOL ... Windows nightmare over :D
[09:16] <hareem> There is a kiosk admin tool in ubuntu its supporting kde. So how can i install it onto my kubuntu
[09:16] <KenSentMe> hareem: sudo apt-get install kiosktool
[09:16] <jessid> or do i have to install something else to run JSPs?
[09:17] <Sp4rKy> please, what could i do when i've this message : "warning: automake does not support module_la_LDFLAGS being defined conditionally"
[09:17] <sys8976> what is the mount point for a spare drive that is listed as ntfs? I am trying to edit the fstab but not sure what the mount point should be for that
[09:17] <KenSentMe> moparfan90: ah, the installer can't copy them for you? have you tried that?
[09:17] <whitepyro> how can I get sendmail to install in ubuntu? Apt-get don't work no such file it says basicly :D
[09:17] <raskil> mormoloc, welcome to linux -- its not always smooth riding but you leave alot of baggage behind when you leave windows :)
[09:17] <moparfan90> no i didnt see an opion for that
[09:18] <moparfan90> ill look again
[09:18] <Acill> bah, this damn partition still tells me its read only, and I didnt do anything to it! I type mount /dev/hda1 /mnt -o rw and it mounts, but not as rw!
[09:18] <larson9999> raskil, linux isn't always smooth sailing?
[09:18] <xerux> I followed the guide on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnableSoftwareMixing   and after that, I added " snd-pcm-oss " to the modules file, and gets loaded at boot.. but I still can't use /dev/dsp in TeamSpeak. The guide says that /dev/dsp will be routed to the alsa device.. ?
[09:18] <Acill> anyone know something I can do to solve this issue?
[09:18] <Upayavira> Acill: Have you tried fsck on that partition?
[09:19] <jessid> sorry for asking again:  when i have installed libservlet2.4-java can I already run JSPs?????
[09:19] <Acill> not sure how to do that
[09:19] <KenSentMe> moparfan90: maybe you can copy the files to your home dir first and the in terminal with 'sudo cp <dir with files> <dir where to put the files>'
[09:19] <sys8976> what is the mount point for a spare drive that is listed as ntfs? I am trying to edit the fstab but not sure what the mount point should be for that
[09:19] <Upayavira> Acill: try man fsck
[09:19] <mormoloc> raskil: windows gets virused after 3 min online, linux virus free for 3 monthd without a firewall
[09:19] <Upayavira> you'll want to run it with the partition unmounted
[09:19] <erUSUL> sys8976: the mount point can be any dir you want
[09:19] <moparfan90> it wont let me copy them any where
[09:19] <mormoloc> raskil: Coolbuntu :)
[09:20] <Acill> ok
[09:20] <KenSentMe> moparfan90: not even to your desktop?
[09:20] <dli> sys8976, use whatever you like, just make sure that the folder exists, (mkdir it)
[09:20] <jimmyx1> guys can i ask an offtopic question?
[09:20] <jimmyx1> need some advise
[09:20] <larson9999> Acill, what kind of patition?
[09:20] <Sarabaii> I'm a new user and just booted up Ubuntu from the live cd, it won't allow me to change the screen refresh rate (stuck at 60). Ubuntu might not have noticed my nvidia video card. Would you mind pointing me to a tutorial so I can configure it correctly? not sure if there are ubuntu drivers for nvidia cards :(
[09:20] <dli> jimmyx1, no
[09:20] <hareem> thanks for the help
[09:20] <jimmyx1> psk.
[09:20] <jimmyx1> k
[09:20] <raskil> larson9999, some apps crash even in rep. and need to be compiled from cvs to get a stable build - plus you need to learn a lot of stuff which upset some people (my mum)
[09:20] <KenSentMe> jimmyx1: join #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:20] <Remo_A> on the easyubuntu homepage: EasyUbuntu bugs related to installing Flash and Java on Kubuntu systems have been fixed.
[09:20] <moparfan90> no it says permission denied.... but if i do sudo before the cp command it says divice cannot be started or soemthing like tht
[09:21] <sys8976> erUSUL: I know that but I just want root of that drive cause it house all my storage stuff, it is slave, I tried just / and it said hda1 is using that so not sure now how to get it to mount the slave
[09:21] <raskil> but I run 5 pc and a server at home and have the whole family on ubuntu - its so low stress for me
[09:21] <nostalg1c> i had a fully working setup of ubuntu using the onboard ide controller for 1 IDE hd and 1 IDE dvdrom, and a PCI promise raid controller driving 4 sata drives -- i now added another PCI promise controller driving 4 IDE drives, and when i boot, the bios sees all of them, but linux only sees the onboard IDE hd and the 4 new IDE drives, but not the 4 SATA drives that were there before... they (/dev/sd[a-d] ) seem to have disappeared from the sy
[09:21] <KenSentMe> moparfan90: do you have this access denied problem also with other cd's?
[09:21] <moparfan90> no
[09:21] <KenSentMe> !resolutio > Sarabaii
[09:21] <ubotu> I know nothing about resolutio
[09:21] <KenSentMe> !resolution > Sarabaii
[09:21] <larson9999> raskil, oh, i was joking!  it is getting easier and easier though.
[09:21] <raskil> moparfan90, copy past command line please?
[09:22] <Acill> if I just type fsck /dev/hda1 will that do it?
[09:22] <moparfan90> ok
[09:22] <jessid> can some one help me, please?
[09:22] <erUSUL> sys8976: i'm afraid i didn't understand you. why would you want to mount it in /? it will hide all system files!!
[09:22] <raskil> larson9999, so true I dont feel uncomfortable recomending linux as a solution to viruses ect now that ubuntu came along :)
[09:22] <lz1gjd> hi, is it possible to install kde desktop over Ubuntu, without having to download all the packages from internet but with the help of a kubuntu livecd ?
[09:23] <apokryphos> lz1gjd: not the live CD, but from the alternate CD, yes.
[09:23] <erUSUL> lz1gjd: i do not think so
[09:23] <Sp4rKy> please, what could i do when i've this message : "warning: automake does not support module_la_LDFLAGS being defined conditionally"
[09:23] <Remo_A> so this is NOT true, what http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ states! there is still a bug in kubuntu
[09:24] <moparfan90> is there a way to look inside the CD in console? i need to be root to look
[09:24] <sys8976> erUSUL: when I go into system-admin-disk it shows it there, but I dont see it in computer, and when I command mount it isnt there so want to edit fstab so on boot it is there
[09:24] <Zaire> anyone know how to disable the Nvidia logo in the xorg?
[09:24] <lz1gjd> ic, but the livecd of 606 has an installer couldn't it work, i mean most of the req. packages are already there
[09:24] <punkmexic> sys8976, can u help me erase my repositories and just leave the essential ones the default? cuz im using lots of repositories and its hard to setup like the website u gave me
[09:24] <apokryphos> lz1gjd: I don't think the desktop cd can be added as a conventional cd source/repository
[09:25] <MrWags> xerux:  Thank you, that worked for me!!!
[09:25] <larson9999> raskil, i'm a longtime mandrake user and a couple years ago i started recommending linux to nontechies with the stipulation i'd support them.  so far so good.  an interesting thing i noticed since i started 'converting' non techies is that windows isn't so easy to setup if you do a fresh reformat for many of them either.
[09:25] <lz1gjd> ic, thx
[09:25] <skavenge> the repos have a spot right in them for the cd why wouldnt it work?
[09:26] <kristian> How do I download with torrents with ubuntu?
[09:26] <sys8976> punkmexic: sorry I havnet taught myself that part yet :( once I do though then I will share :)
[09:26] <eNons3nse> has anyone had any problems with lame?  it seems to cause X to crash maybe 4/5 times i try to rip a cd.
[09:26] <apokryphos> kristian: use one of /msg ubotu torrent
[09:26] <larson9999> raskil but to your point, i switched to kubuntu when dapper came out and i do think it has a hand up on mandriva... just as easy and i like the philosphy much better.
[09:26] <sys8976> erUSUL: any ideas I am scanning google to see if I can find anything
[09:27] <erUSUL> sys8976: what type of files do you have in the partition you are trying to mount? what is the filesystem?
[09:27] <larson9999> raskil and my 5 year has taken to it like a fish to water.
[09:27] <skavenge> right under repositories theres an option to 'add cdrom', i would think that install the kde desktop off the cd would be totally feasible
[09:28] <sys8976> erUSUL: ntfs it was my slave drive when I ran windows, but I have moved from there and would like to access that drive
[09:28] <Remo_A> heellloooooooooo, any dev in here? easyubuntu and java still not working under kubuntu :) konqueror link to java executable is wrong and java_home global variable not set
[09:28] <erUSUL> !ntfs > sys8976
[09:28] <eNons3nse> I'm the only one having problems with LAME causing X to crash?
[09:28] <apokryphos> Remo_A: wrong.. it is?
[09:28] <Remo_A> apokryphos: lol
[09:28] <apokryphos> Remo_A: a couple of times I found I had to manually specify /usr/bin/java actually IIRC
[09:29] <sys8976> !ntfs
[09:29] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[09:29] <apokryphos> Remo_A: easyubuntu should work fine in kubuntu presuming you have met the requirements, even if there isn't a specific port for kubu
[09:29] <sys8976> erUSUL: thanks
[09:29] <erUSUL> sys8976: a line like '/dev/hdb1      /mount/point       ntfs    ro,user,umask=0222,noauto       0       0' will do too
[09:29] <erUSUL> sys8976: no problem
[09:29] <Jack_Sparrow> sys8976: You can use the diskmounter script to setup your NTFS... to automount
[09:30] <SuperCPP> Where is the DiveIntoPython book located on Ubuntu-Dapper Drake?
[09:30] <Remo_A> apokryphos: .. i use a FRESH build of kubuntu with dreary dapper (6.06)
[09:30] <Jack_Sparrow> sys8976: http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounte
[09:30] <Remo_A> the specs are met, come on, why should I lie?
[09:30] <apokryphos> Remo_A: #easyubuntu
[09:30] <Remo_A> x86
[09:31] <Jack_Sparrow> sys8976  add an R to that link
[09:31] <Remo_A> oh sh*** wrong window, i am there!
[09:31] <SpeesKeek> hi all
[09:31] <xerux> I followe the software-mixing guide on the forum, and added snd-pcm-oss to /etc/modules . Module loads, but teamspeak does not work when using /dev/dsp
[09:31] <xerux> followed*
[09:31] <SpeesKeek> got the laterst imge and want to install it on an pIII 667mhz (512mb ram) but the install is afwull slow.. what can that be ?
[09:31] <sys8976> Jack_Sparrow: yea that is what I am looking at now
[09:32] <fyrestrtr> SpeesKeek: well, it could be because you have a 667Mhz cpy
[09:32] <Jack_Sparrow> sys8976:  ask if you need help with it... and restart after you run it even though it says not to.. That will be changed soon
[09:32] <fyrestrtr> s/cpy/cpu
[09:33] <SpeesKeek> but why is a debian install going 100x faster ?
[09:33] <Jack_Sparrow> SpeesKeek: that cd has everything compressed to fit on it.. Lots of cycles needed to uncompress
[09:33] <fyrestrtr> maybe its not doing the same stuff :)
[09:33] <SpeesKeek> 1ghz better cpu ?
[09:33] <UNDERsoN32818> Hi I make very big error, can I recover partition table? is there any utilz?
[09:34] <SpeesKeek> the fact is .. i want pyramid linux on it, but i dont know if i can start wih debian for that prupoe
[09:34] <SpeesKeek> *purpose
[09:34] <sys8976> Jack_Sparrow: ok thanks just d/ld it now going to finish up will reboot and let you know how it goes
[09:34] <Jack_Sparrow> cool
[09:34] <eNons3nse> Is there some other encoder I can use besides LAME since I'm having problems with it?
[09:35] <Jack_Sparrow> sys8976: You got it to run ok right, no errors,
[09:35] <Fatal`> what other distro is closest to ubuntu?
[09:35] <UNDERsoN32818> Can I recover My partition table? What recover utilz you can advice me
[09:35] <Jack_Sparrow> sys8976:  some people need help on what folder to have it in or how to change foldrs etc
[09:35] <matyadabyte> hello super stars. I wrote a post that mentions you guys: www.salted.net    Now... how do I make it so apps start when it boots?
[09:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Kubuntu
[09:35] <SpeesKeek> fyrestrtr : but i call slow.. very slow.. the unompressing linux thing tkes a half an hour ...
[09:35] <Fatal`> hehe, i just doubt my abilities to be able to install any other form of linux
[09:36] <Fatal`> ubuntu doing all the partitioning stuff..that was cool :)
[09:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Fatal`: Kubuntu same diff
[09:36] <Jack_Sparrow> KDE desktop
[09:36] <sys8976> Jack_Sparrow: no ran fine thanks
[09:36] <raphink> kubuntu is the same distro
[09:36] <raphink> ;)
[09:36] <Fatal`> yeah :P
[09:36] <Jack_Sparrow> More like windows, some say better admin tools
[09:37] <raphink> Fatal`: most modern distros do the same thing (auto partitionning)
[09:37] <Fatal`> if i'm having problems with ubuntu, i doubt kubuntu would be a wise choice
[09:37] <Jack_Sparrow> sys8976:  Did it work for you
[09:37] <MusicEatingPanda> can somone point me in the right direction on properly switching gaim over to asla
[09:37] <raphink> Fatal`: what kind of problems are you having with ubuntu?
[09:37] <UNDERsoN32818> Which recovery utils did you know
[09:38] <Fatal`> repition for everybody in this channel, but i have random lock ups
[09:38] <larson9999> what is it when you install ubuntu and then install kde or vice version with gnome?
[09:38] <sys8976> Jack_Sparrow: bout to reboot brb to let you know
[09:38] <Fatal`> :P
[09:38] <UNDERsoN32818> Which Linux recovery utils did you know! Help ME
[09:38] <SpeesKeek> google.com i a quite good one UNDERsoN32818
[09:39] <larson9999> is it called eubuntu if you use enlightenment?
[09:40] <eNons3nse> ???
[09:40] <UNDERsoN32818> I understand no advice here. I lost my partitions. By
[09:41] <xerux> I followed the software-mixing guide on the forum, and added snd-pcm-oss to /etc/modules . Module loads, but teamspeak does not work when using /dev/dsp .. anyone ?
[09:41] <erUSUL> UNDERsoN32818: gpart
[09:41] <UNDERsoN32818> erUSUL thank you
[09:42] <erUSUL> UNDERsoN32818: gpart can guess and write a partition table of a damged disk. use it at your own risk
[09:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Not much need for Linux partiton recovery tools since most of dont mess them up
[09:42] <erUSUL> UNDERsoN32818: no problem
[09:42] <ballessay> xerux: do you use alsa?
[09:42] <jelly-home> Jack_Sparrow: hah!
[09:42] <SpeesKeek> I going for the alternate install cd ... maybe that flies :)
[09:43] <xerux> ballessay: aye
[09:43] <xerux> ballessay: gstreamer-properties , selected alsa
[09:43] <UNDERsoN32818> erUSUL Can I find gpart on Ubuntu 6.06 ?
[09:43] <Vraid> my ubuntu installation doesn't want to connect to my router..
[09:43] <UNDERsoN32818> On DVD
[09:43] <codecaine> how come I can watch movies as my username with mplayer but if I switch to root and try to play the movies there distorted and all you can do is hear sound?
[09:43] <Jack_Sparrow> jelly-home: You want some fancy recovery tools... try WIndows...
[09:43] <xerux> ballessay: but ESD is running, if that means anything
[09:44] <Spec> Okay, so I have a laptop whose internal HD is {ntfs, fat32, hidden fat16, swap, gentoo()reiserfs} and an external harddrive (that boots off internal HD's grub) with {Ubuntu()reiserfs, swap, fat32} ... now I want to put Ubuntu on the usb harddrive onto my internal harddrive where Gentoo currently sits....what's the best way to do this? :o)

[09:46] <UNDERsoN32818> I don't have trafic now. So can I find gpart on DVD or not?
[09:46] <sys8976> Jack_Sparrow: one question though is there a way to remove it off the desktop, but keep it in the 'computer' section with the other drives
[09:47] <Jack_Sparrow> The desktop should just be a link.. it should still be in Media, but let me check
[09:47] <stelki> anybody had the problem in the gnome menu (the one edited by alacarte) that theres some menu entries you just cant remove?
[09:47] <erUSUL> UNDERsoN32818: i do not now if it comes in the dvd. if you have the dvd enabled in synaptic and can not find gpart it means that it does not come
[09:47] <sys8976> Jack_Sparrow: k
[09:47] <|rt|> Spec: probably the best bet is to boot off a live cd...reformat the gentoo partition to just wipe it clean then mount both the old gentoo and the external usb drive and just use dp to copy everything across....do a cp -a
[09:47] <stelki> its doing my head in :f
[09:48] <stephan__> is their a gui or a tool for checking ur filesystem....like reiserfs and dosfsck
[09:48] <Jack_Sparrow> sys8976:  they show up in media.. if that helps
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> !fsck
[09:48] <ubotu> I know nothing about fsck

[09:48] <c0re^> !info fsck
[09:48] <ubotu> Package fsck does not exist in dapper
[09:48] <|rt|> i'm not sure how that will deal with symbolic links (may be better to tar the drive and then untar it onto the new partition....but you'll need to edit your grub and /etc/fstab to reflect the changes after you copy the files over
[09:48] <F0LL0W3R> how to install built-in generic modem in gnome
[09:48] <c0re^> stephan__: well fsck is your best bet.
[09:49] <erUSUL> stephan__: fsck.ext3
[09:49] <sys8976> Jack_Sparrow: it seems that I cant remove the desktop icon without unmounting which in turn is going to remove it from media
[09:49] <rpedro> !search fsck

[09:50] <[Spooky] > is it possible to disable the login/pass in the samba sharing ?
[09:50] <c0re^> stephan__: fsck.<filesystem>
[09:50] <stephan__> i know how to use it lol...
[09:51] <erUSUL> stephan__: the reason to have journaled filesystems as ext3 and reiser is to avoid fsck's
[09:51] <c0re^> stephan__: fsck --help

[09:51] <erUSUL> kristian: which firewall did you instaled?
[09:51] <|rt|> erUSUL: not entirely true....fsck in most cases just replays the journal to get back to a sane state
[09:52] <|rt|> erUSUL: which is much faster
[09:52] <Spec> |rt|: dp?
[09:52] <Spec> |rt|: I was thinking if I could just do a copy/preserve permissions onto the current gentoo partition
[09:52] <|rt|> Spec: did I type dp?  I meant cp
[09:52] <Spec> i'd have to do that off a livecd, can't do it while it's running?
[09:52] <kristian> erUSUL, i don't have any firewall :P
[09:52] <erUSUL> |rt|: wrong the replay is done at mount time if the kernel detects a dirty state.
[09:52] <Spec> |rt|: what does -a/archive do? and what about permissions?
[09:53] <erUSUL> kristian: then you do not need to open any port
[09:53] <Anthony> hi
[09:53] <Guv> fyrestrtr:  you still out there?
[09:53] <|rt|> Spec: it preserves permissions and is recursive
[09:53] <kristian> i get a NAT-error on port 6881
[09:53] <ballessay> xerux: have you read "I have problems with a game and the Linux client when using ALSA. How to fix?" in the teamspeak FAQ?
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> I am
[09:54] <Spec> |rt|: so literally all I have to do is: cp -a /mnt/ubuntu /mnt/gentoo ? (after gentoo's formatted and i'm in a live environment, of course)
[09:54] <Guv> ok
[09:54] <Spec> |rt|: and then fix grub?
[09:54] <erUSUL> kristian: are you using a router to connect to inet?
[09:54] <kristian> yes..
[09:54] <kristian> there firewall is off
[09:54] <kristian> THe
[09:54] <moparfan90> hello.. im trying to get quake 4 to work... and maybe someone in here can help me. im running 6.06 and when i run the quake4 start script i get the error cant find default.cfg
[09:54] <kristian> do i need firewall with ubuntu?
[09:55] <moparfan90> what should i do?
[09:55] <|rt|> Spec: I believe so....may be worth getting a second opinion...as i'm not sure what cp will do with the symlinks
[09:55] <erUSUL> kristian: you must configure the router to NAT the 6881 port to your computer
[09:55] <Spec> hmm
[09:55] <Spec> what could go wrong? i dont' care if gentoo dies :p
[09:55] <|rt|> Spec: then there's nothing to loose other than time :)
[09:56] <jelly-home> Spec: gentoo will definitely die when you reformat the partition...
[09:56] <Spec> hehe :)
[09:56] <Spec> |rt|: don't have too much time
[09:56] <|rt|> I have a gentoo box here that I'm about to move over to ubuntu
[09:56] <Anthony> hello, im running *crap* windows and im having a hard time installing
[09:56] <Spec> |rt|: I'm going to NECC2006 to evagelize linux
[09:56] <Spec> evangelize*
[09:57] <Spec> and that starts ... tomorrow
[09:57] <Spec> :p
[09:57] <jelly-home> Spec: after you copy over the files, remember to update /etc/fstab with new values.
[09:57] <Spec> yeap
[09:57] <Beckyrmwfc> hi there. I just installed Ubuntu on my powerbook G4 and i was hoping someone could help me figure out how to get the internet working
[09:57] <Spec> i was going to use mindi/mondo
[09:57] <Spec> but there could be some problems with creating new partitions since my internal hd is 'weird'
[09:57] <eXCeSS> !ati
[09:57] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:57] <jelly-home> Spec: you may also have to rerun your boot manager.
[09:57] <Anthony> i put in the disk, it goes through a couple things and then it puts me in "A" dieretory with mr. dos
[09:57] <Spec> yeah, i expected to do that as well :)
[09:58] <[Spooky] > how do i restart samba then ?
[09:58] <Spec> was more worried about permissions, etc
[09:58] <Spec> it's only 18 gigs of data
[09:58] <jelly-home> Spec: cp -a handles permissions.
[09:58] <Spec> yay
[09:58] <jelly-home> Spec: not sure about hardlins though
[09:58] <Spec> so there's no special crazy tar command to do
[09:58] <|rt|> 18 gigs...you must have alot of user files
[09:58] <Spec> to make it go faster?
[09:58] <xerux> ballessay: what FAQ ? Where is it ?
[09:58] <_Zxc_> Hey, hey, can anyone help me setup the teamspeak2 client?
[09:59] <Spec> |rt|: eh, if it's music it's getting deleted
[09:59] <kristian> Do i need software firewall with ubuntu?
[09:59] <Anthony> :'(
[09:59] <|rt|> you should look into moving home to it's own partition...will make reinstalling/moving OS's faster in the future
[09:59] <Spec> kristian: no
[09:59] <Spec> kristian: you can set up a firewall in ubuntu if you want, by default it's pretty secure
[09:59] <ompaul> !test
[09:59] <ubotu> I know nothing about test
[10:00] <ballessay> xerux: http://www.goteamspeak.com/index.php?page=faq&id=3&item=43#q43
[10:00] <ballessay> there
[10:00] <Spec> |rt|: normally it is, but this is my personal laptop, i do random crazy stuff to it all the time, so at any point in time, if it completely dies i'm not too concerned: ie - it runs windows ;)
[10:00] <jelly-home> Spec: you could copy over the whole device if your partition is nearly full.  But copying the files gets you free defragmentation.
[10:00] <Spec> with dd?
[10:00] <Spec> I don't want to ruin the windows-crap if I can help it
[10:01] <Spec> So do you know if I can add tar into the mix for speed, or should I just stick with cp -a?
[10:01] <jelly-home> Spec: yes.  I think parted also has a copy partition option.
[10:01] <[Spooky] > how do i restart Samba ?
[10:01] <_Zxc_> ballessay: Having a look
[10:01] <orcdestroyer> hello... I got a problem with squid
[10:01] <Beckyrmwfc> how do i get my internet connection to work with ubuntu (PPC)
[10:01] <orcdestroyer> I can't navegate in internet
[10:01] <MrWags> can't control my sound using ubuntu.  Using correct drivers, and icon shows muted, but still getting sound.  Any ideas?
[10:01] <Dr_Willis>  - /etc/init.d/samba restart  ----- same as any other service
[10:01] <moparfan90> who has quake 4 here?
[10:01] <moparfan90> on linus
[10:01] <jelly-home> Spec: both cp and tar have to read the same files, so it's just a matter of preference.
[10:01] <moparfan90> linux***
[10:02] <Anthony> Hey does anyone know how I can install Ubuntu on a USB hard drive?
[10:02] <SonicChao> moparfan90: bring it too #ubuntu-offtopic, this is for support, not general Chat.
[10:02] <Anthony> awwww
[10:02] <[Spooky] > Dr_Willis: ok, maybe not so easy for a noob like me ?
[10:02] <jelly-home> Spec: you can remount the source read-only and maybe save a but there.
[10:02] <jelly-home> a bit
[10:02] <Spec> why would that matter
[10:02] <Anthony> ...
[10:02] <Spec> why would cp write?
[10:02] <Beckyrmwfc> has anyone here ran ubuntu on a mac?
[10:02] <jelly-home> it would be like mounting with noatime.
[10:02] <markl_> i have a couple of network cards that claim to be gigabit, but are only running at 100 - what does it take to make gigabit work?
[10:02] <Dr_Willis> !samba
[10:02] <Spec> !anyone
[10:02] <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
[10:03] <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?
[10:03] <Spec> markl_: are they plugged into a gigabit switch?
[10:03] <_Zxc_> Man linux audio is a mess nowadays :( OSS, ALSA, daemons
[10:03] <moparfan90> i want to install gizmo is tere a package for this ?
[10:03] <markl_> Spec: yes
[10:03] <xerux> ballessay: I don't play games.
[10:03] <Spec> markl_: i bet 'mii-tool' doesn't give you anything useful if you run it, does it?
[10:03] <SonicChao> How do you install Templates for New Documents in Ubuntu? I right-click the desktop and it says "No Templates Installed". Can anyone help?
[10:03] <xerux> ballessay: so that FAQ doesnt help me at all
[10:03] <Dr_Willis> _Zxc_,  actually its gettting better then it used to be. :) in a year or 2 oss will be totally gone.
[10:03] <Stormx2> barney@deepthought:~$ sudo ln -s /media/Music /var/www
[10:03] <Stormx2> ln: creating symbolic link `/var/www/Music' to `/media/Music': File exists
[10:03] <Stormx2> ^^ Help
[10:03] <Beckyrmwfc> okay.... i can't get the internet connection to work in the ubuntu OS on my powerbook. What do i have to do to get it to work?
[10:04] <markl_> Spec: it says 100 mbps.  ethtool doesn't list 1000 as a supported link mode for some reason
[10:04] <moparfan90> is there a package for gizmo?
[10:04] <ballessay> xerux: ok, but have you made a "lsof | grep dsp" ?
[10:04] <_Zxc_> Dr_Willis: I'm afraid you're right :) I haven't messed with linux on the desktop since before OSS
[10:04] <Spec> markl_: I guess you could use a crossover and connect them to each other just to verify they negotiate a gigabit link?
[10:04] <xerux> ballessay: aye
[10:04] <xerux> nothing shows
[10:04] <Spec> markl_: it's possible it's at a gigabit and your tools aren't reading it correctly?
[10:04] <jelly-home> Spec: linux takes notice of file access times (when a file was accessed last), this is done by updating file's directory entries.  You can skip this if you mount a device with noatime option.  Obviously mounting ro would have the same effect.
[10:04] <ballessay> hmmm
[10:04] <Dr_Willis> _Zxc_,  i got ceative audigy cards - and never have sound problems. :)
[10:04] <xerux> ballessay: I did modprobe snd-pcm-oss  which should route /dev/dsp to alsa
[10:04] <Spec> jelly-home: yes, it does,
[10:04] <markl_> Spec: possible, though i thought ethtool was pretty good about that
[10:04] <Spec> jelly-home: :)
[10:05] <Spec> markl_: I dont' know about ethtool's compatability with gigabit
[10:05] <Spec> :-/
[10:05] <SonicChao> How do you install Templates for New Documents in Ubuntu? I right-click the desktop and it says "No Templates Installed". Can anyone help?
[10:05] <_Zxc_> Dr_Willis: Well so do I, an audigy2zs
[10:05] <Fatal`> gah, i'm having linux withdrawals and i haven't even had it installed for that long
[10:05] <|rt|> if I want to use a linux box with 2 nics as a router on my network do I need any programs or is iptables in the kernel all i need?
[10:05] <Fatal`> windows angers me :(
[10:05] <Spec> |rt|: iptables is all you need
[10:05] <_Zxc_> Is there any ALSA native app I can use to see if I can get my microphone working with ALSA first of all?
[10:05] <Dr_Willis> _Zxc_,  i got that one now. :P more conectors then i know what to do with
[10:05] <Spec> |rt|: do you know how to use iptables?
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> _Zxc_,  got the remote? ever get it to do anything under linux?
[10:06] <_Zxc_> Dr_Willis: No, just the card
[10:06] <|rt|> Spec: very little....is there any program that could aid in setting it up...I would like to have a transparent bridge between the network segments with windows file sharing and printer services going across it
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> _Zxc_,  :) went cheap eh?
[10:07] <Spec> |rt|: not too hard, there are 'firewall' scripts that'll help you out massively
[10:07] <Spec> |rt|: wait, is this box ONLY doing that?
[10:07] <Spec> |rt|: if so, you should check out ipcop
[10:07] <_Zxc_> Dr_Willis: Well I didn't really have any need for a remote
[10:07] <|rt|> Spec: i have ipcop cd here....but this computer is also a file server running samba
[10:08] <Dr_Willis> _Zxc_,  me either.. but it looks spiffy
[10:08] <_Zxc_> Hm, the "Sound Recorder" app doesn't list line in or microphone?
[10:08] <xerux> ballessay: any ideas ?
[10:08] <Spec> |rt|: hmm, then ubuntu, i think there's an easy to use firewall script called killerwall
[10:08] <Spec> !firewall
[10:08] <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)
[10:08] <Spec> ooo, firestarter, i forgot about that
[10:08] <|rt|> Spec: it's a headless machine
[10:08] <patrickj> im trying to install vmware and its asking where the kernel headerss are
[10:08] <Spec> I talked to someone working on that the other day, i hear it's good
[10:08] <patrickj> /usr/src/linux doesnt exist..
[10:09] <Spec> |rt|: headless? no x?
[10:09] <|rt|> Spec: no X
[10:09] <Spec> patrickj: you need the kernel headers
[10:09] <patrickj> ugh\
[10:09] <patrickj> whats the package name?
[10:09] <Spec> |rt|: i think there's a command line firestarter? not sure.... shorewall is webbased :p *reading ubotu*
[10:09] <zipper> !ftpd
[10:09] <erUSUL> |rt|: shorewall or firehol are good choices
  FTP clients: gftp, konqueror, kbear, nautilus. FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd
[10:09] <zipper> !ftpserver
[10:09] <ubotu> I know nothing about ftpserver
[10:10] <|rt|> I'll have a look...do you think what I'm looking to do is possible?
[10:10] <erUSUL> |rt|: both are configured with conf files... although shorewall has a webmin plugin afaik
[10:10] <fowlduck> proftpd has a nice graphical configuration utility in dapper
[10:10] <|rt|> don't want to spend a bunch of time only to find out that it's not possible to bridge the 2 network segments transparently
[10:11] <|rt|> I was also considering just getting 2 of the linksys w54gL routers and flashing them
[10:11] <Spec> |rt|: yes, that's what routers are for :0
[10:11] <elesouef> Hi all, since some days, my ethernet card is no longer working in DHCP mode. It tells me (in a console) that "Network is down". In static addressing, everything is ok. Some can help me with that ?
[10:11] <erUSUL> |rt|: if you want to bridge them you do not use iptables use bridge-utils iirc
[10:11] <patrickj> how do i check my kernel headers?
[10:11] <|rt|> basically i need a transparent wireless bridge...my current solution doesn't work that well
[10:11] <patrickj> *kernel version
[10:12] <erUSUL> !info bridge-utils
[10:12] <ubotu> bridge-utils: Utilities for configuring the Linux ethernet bridge. In repository main, is optional. Version 1.0.6-1build1 (dapper), package size 24 kB, installed size 144 kB
[10:12] <iqon> anyone have any idea what the file /.m6rE is for?
[10:12] <ballessay> xerux: where have you tested your mic?
[10:12] <_Zxc_> !usb headset
[10:12] <ubotu> I know nothing about usb headset
[10:12] <finalbeta> I play enemy territory windowed. It grabs my cursor. under windows I could use the windows key to exit the window. How can I exit the window without closing the game in ubuntu?
[10:12] <ballessay> on one of the test servers?
[10:12] <zOap> iqon, have asked google?
[10:13] <iqon> yeah, it came up in a spanish irc chat log, but i don't speak spanish
[10:13] <|rt|> with bridge utils would i need to still configure iptables or is it simply a matter of adding routes and changing default gateways on the various parts of my network?
[10:13] <MusicEatingPanda> i need help switching gaim to asla
[10:13] <Rubin> anyone besides me having lots of problems with firefox after upgrading this week?

[10:15] <Spec> erUSUL: that'll be better you say? :p
[10:15] <steveire> thought so, thanks
[10:15] <interferon> my dapper install cd freezes at a blank screen after loading some of th eservices.  i suspect it's something to do with my video card.  are there any options i can play with to avoid video card troubles? (an ati radeon 9200se, btw)
[10:16] <ardchoille> Rubin: the first two months of this year
[10:16] <steveire> with sudo it would seem
[10:16] <|rt|> Spec: i've used that trick before over the network b/c with pipes you can even pipe in a gzip in there
[10:16] <Rubin> ardchoille, hmm. ok thanks
[10:16] <gatekeeper> livingdaylight: take a look at this: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81311&highlight=HOWTO%3A+backup
[10:16] <erUSUL> Spec: i read it in a how to and used it a coule of times
[10:16] <livingdaylight> gatekeeper: thank you!
[10:16] <gatekeeper> livingdaylight: it's not the only way to do things
[10:16] <fyrestrtr> interferon: you can try to launch the install in non-graphical mode.
[10:16] <interferon> fyrestrtr, how?
[10:16] <patrickj> the kernel headers wont work to install vmware wtf

[10:19] <MusicEatingPanda> Why for no one can point me to the corect thread on editing gaim to workon alsa
[10:19] <MusicEatingPanda> !alsa

[10:20] <gatekeeper> that works
, is there a grub.conf or is that file the config file?
[10:20] <xerux> ballessay: the mic is _not_ the problem. When I start teamspeak, there's no suond. the icon ( which should be green ) is showing as muted. meaning you have either muted the sound IN teamspeak, or that the dev is not working
[10:21] <luzy_lu> quit
[10:21] <livingdaylight> gatekeeper: ok
[10:21] <EmxBA> anyone?
[10:21] <nostalg1c> iqon, no :) (that would be obvious enough for me ;))

[10:27] <ToHellWithGA> i really like gaim 2 beta but i prefer installing well-made packages to using checkinstall
[10:27] <rpedro> azcazandco: read the message ubotu sent you, you can install the 3d drivers through synaptic
[10:27] <zim> hi all
[10:27] <ToHellWithGA> hi zim
[10:27] <jsestri2> The way dapper uses the DNS servers is very inefficient. The first two DNS servers that come from my ISP via the DHCP lookup are very slow compared to the 3rd. From what I can tell it takes forever to timeout to the first two and then finally gets to the third. If i delete the first two everything is fast, however it re-populates the list every few hours. Is there any way to fix this behavior?

[10:34] <prodigel> Hi. I want to set up my internet connection. Sadly I received an usb adsl modem, and I donno where to start. Also the modell is pretty unknown: ZTE 852
[10:35] <moparfan90> where is the grub.conf located on 6.06???
[10:35] <fyrestrtr> moparfan90: same place it has always been, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:35] <jsestri2> you can use "locate searchstr" to find things
[10:35] <moparfan90> ok
[10:35] <lens> is paste bin broken or something?
[10:35] <idefix> fyrestrtr: the box Server requires authentication is already checked
[10:35] <fyrestrtr> no, you need to enable outgoing for smtp -- not the same thing.
[10:35] <bthornton> Is there a "well-supported" means to mount SMB shares onto a Linux filesystem?
[10:36] <reemusk> how do i install an rpm on ubuntu?
[10:36] <lens> it wont give me a url
[10:36] <duneatreides> Does anyone know where I can find help on bash scripts? Is there a bash IRC channel somewhere
[10:36] <fyrestrtr> or ... wait, it might be, don't know -- don't have evolution setup here properly.
[10:36] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: rpm of what?
[10:36] <reemusk> endian
[10:36] <fyrestrtr> duneatreides: #bash :)
[10:36] <fyrestrtr> duneatreides: or check tldp.org - they have nice tutorials
[10:36] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: endian?
[10:36] <reemusk> http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Software/523950/Endian-Firewall.html
[10:37] <reemusk> it's a firewall program
[10:37] <reemusk> well, security suite
[10:37] <farky> fyrestrtr, can you help me with something?
[10:38] <fyrestrtr> maybe, ask a question
[10:38] <alexfittyfives> reemusk: alien is probably the place to start though I've never touched it
[10:38] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: wouldn't recommend alien -- I've heard it does some weird things to your system.
[10:38] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: try shorewall if you need a firewall, or firestarter if you want a nice gui.
[10:38] <farky> fyrestrtr, the text installer for the alt. install cd of ubuntu x86 6.06 freezes on the partitioner
[10:38] <moparfan90> im adding windows to the grub menu file and windows is on a sata hdd so would the root line be hd0,0 or sd0,0?
[10:38] <reemusk> firestarter...interesting, is that just a firewall or is it antivirus and such?
[10:39] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: its a gui for iptables
[10:39] <reemusk> sort of like peerguardian? :)
[10:39] <reemusk> i'm n00b to linux
[10:39] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: would recommend shorewall though.
[10:39] <idefix> fyrestrtr: please help, I need a little help
[10:39] <reemusk> shorewall...k :)
[10:39] <fyrestrtr> idefix: okay just a second please.
[10:39] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: especially if you have more than one interface.
[10:40] <Caspian> Hi
[10:40] <Caspian> I've got apache executing .php files, but not .php5 files. How can I set up .php5 files to be executed by php 5?
[10:40] <gatekeeper> farky: is your hard disk ok, what happens if you badblocks on it?
[10:40] <fyrestrtr> idefix: okay let me start from the top. Your error means that the mail server will not let your host send emails through it (relaying denied). This is put in so that spammers can't use an email server to send out emails. Generally, you setup smtp authentication -- or add your host to the acl at the mail server to send email through it.
[10:41] <idefix> fyrestrtr ctrl+shift+s didn't work but menu>edit>prefs did then sending mail, checked Server requires authentication"
[10:41] <farky> gatekeeper: it is a brand new SATA drive no badblocks
[10:41] <reemusk> k 'm getting firestarter
[10:41] <idefix> what is the diff between my mail server and my host?
[10:42] <farky> gatekeeper: is badblocks a command?
[10:42] <lonegeek> can anyone help me to get amarok to play my mp3s?
[10:42] <gatekeeper> farky: I had a brand new maxtor with badblocks, ended going back and being replaced by a segate
[10:42] <gatekeeper> farky: yep
[10:42] <reemusk> i meant shoreall
[10:42] <reemusk> shorewall*
[10:42] <gatekeeper> seagate even ooops
[10:42] <fyrestrtr> idefix: depends on what you are using your host for? You are hosting what with them, a website?
[10:42] <farky> gatekeeper: let me try, can I get a shell somehow on the alt. install CD?
[10:42] <idefix> yes
[10:43] <reemusk> i can open .deb packages right?
[10:43] <fyrestrtr> idefix: your email is also hosted with them?
[10:43] <gatekeeper> farky: probable need liveCD at a guess
[10:43] <idefix> no, it's an alumnus e-mail
[10:43] <ompaul> reemusk, you can open them, were they build for ubuntu?
[10:43] <gnomefreak> reemusk: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[10:43] <farky> gatekeeper, ok let me try that one
[10:43] <reemusk> awesome thanks
[10:43] <idefix> but I entered the server in the sending mail tab of the prefs window
[10:44] <fyrestrtr> idefix: oh hrmm -- don't know then what could it be. Suggest asking the person responsible for the mail server.
[10:44] <SeanTater> reemusk: most .deb's are available through apt though
[10:44] <sgt-dyke> Hello... someone wanna help me play BF2 step by step
[10:44] <fyrestrtr> idefix: did you check 'Server requires authentication' ?
[10:44] <fyrestrtr> idefix: and put in your username?
[10:44] <reemusk> APT?
[10:44] <ompaul> reemusk, if not build for ubuntu then they may not be okay, if you want to inspect them you can open them to probe their insides, dpkg -x foo.deb someDirectory/
[10:44] <gatekeeper> farky: I'm only suggesting that as a possible cause because I experienced a similar problem using the liveCD installer, might be something else who knows
[10:44] <reemusk> where is that?
[10:44] <LSorensen4> I'll think about it
[10:44] <SeanTater> reemusk: advanced packaging tool
[10:45] <SeanTater> reemusk: say /msg ubotu apt
[10:45] <farky> gatekeeper: ok
[10:45] <reemusk> i have synaptic package manager, where's apt?
[10:45] <ompaul> apt-get install name (leave out the deb)
[10:45] <reemusk> ahh
[10:45] <ompaul> reemusk, command line
[10:45] <SeanTater> reemusk: did ubotu help?
[10:45] <moparfan90> im trying to add windows to the grub menu can someone help me with this please
[10:45] <farky> gatekeeeper: I have another small probelm, none of my mice work in the live cd, but keyboard works
[10:46] <mwe> moparfan90: isn't it there by default?
[10:46] <Jack_Sparrow> I have a partition Icon on my desktop and it is in Media, how would you get it off the desktop but keep it mounted,  Is there an edit to fstab to make that happen or ?
[10:46] <moparfan90> no
[10:46] <mwe> odd
[10:46] <fyrestrtr> moparfan90: checked the wiki entry?
[10:46] <moparfan90> its on another HDD so that might be why
[10:46] <jay5000> I need help accessing cupsys admin from my laptop to my network printer. .  I am not  able to login as administer.  I was able to do this using debian with root login.  How do I do it with Ubuntu.  I assigned both lpadmin and lp to my username
[10:47] <gatekeeper> farky: freezing on the partitioner smells like hardware trouble one way or another
[10:47] <moparfan90> i have ubuntu on a ide HDD and windopws on a sata HDD so i dont know what to put the in the file to make winodws boot
[10:47] <Jymmm> any suggestions on changing the "default monitor" to my monitor?
[10:47] <moparfan90> any one?
[10:47] <rockzman> Hiho can anyone help me with openbox config files?

[10:47] <reemusk> whoa that's awesome
[10:47] <cobradera> hy all
[10:47] <cobradera> i need some help
[10:47] <fyrestrtr> moparfan90: give you a tip. Type grub at a terminal then type hd<tab> and see what grub sees your hard disks as.
[10:47] <SeanTater> moparfan90: most of the time, kubuntu will check it for you, but grub itself does not do that, AFAIK, bit it's somewhat easy to do
[10:47] <ljlolel> how do I find out which groups i'm in (in cli)
[10:47] <ljlolel> as auser
[10:47] <fyrestrtr> then exit out of that, and use what you gain from there.
[10:47] <ciaron> anyone got a quicksilver esque for gnome?
[10:48] <rockzman> Do anyone know about openbox and its setup files?
[10:48] <bimberi> Jack_Sparrow: Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor
[10:48] <fyrestrtr> ljlolel: type groups
[10:48] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[10:48] <alexfittyfives> lijolel - groups
[10:48] <farky> gatekeeper: can you help me with badblocks? like the options i should use?
[10:48] <reemusk> hey i'm reading the howto on this and it's not working......i just keep getting taken back to a black command line
[10:48] <cobradera> is someone here willing to offer some help??
[10:48] <bimberi> ljlolel: 'groups'
[10:48] <ljlolel> great! how do i add myself to a certain group?
[10:48] <ljlolel> usermod doesn't work
[10:48] <fyrestrtr> doesn't work?
[10:48] <bimberi> ljlolel: sudo adduser username group
[10:48] <fyrestrtr> you usually need to logout and login for the change to take effect
[10:48] <ljlolel> oh
[10:49] <spatieman> Question: I just reinstalled Ubuntu 5.10 ,and inserted the Ubuntu 6.10 CD ,it asked me to open the package manager, what do i need to do so that the upgrade proces realy is started

[10:49] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:49] <fyrestrtr> !upgrade > spatieman
, when i type hd and hit tab it just types hd on the next line and does nothing
[10:49] <mwe> moparfan90: here's an example. change to reflect you setup: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+Win9x+Grub-HOWTO/proc.html#AEN54
[10:49] <gatekeeper> farky: I ran it without any options you just really want verbose and point it at the hard disk
[10:49] <fyrestrtr> moparfan90: try hd(<tab>
[10:49] <spatieman> !upgrade
[10:49] <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.

[10:50] <Beckyrmwfc> how do i go about partitioning my hard drive on my powerbook? do i use the apple partition map or the master boot record?
[10:50] <cobradera> !ask
[10:50] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:50] <Beckyrmwfc>  how do i go about partitioning my hard drive on my powerbook? do i use the apple partition map or the master boot record?
[10:50] <Lynoure> cobradera: once is usually enough, too. Repeating gains visibility at the expense of likability and as (most?) people here are not paid to do this, likability helps to get get your questions answered.
[10:50] <mwe> don't repeat
, windows is installed on a sata driver will this change anything?
[10:51] <gatekeeper> farky: something like badblocks -v /dev/hda1
[10:51] <cobradera> how do i install zc0301 camera usb driver?

[10:52] <rpedro> azcazandco: ^^
[10:52] <ljlolel> it works!
[10:52] <azcazandco> thanks man
[10:52] <moparfan90> im not sure... i tried something before and it didnt work
[10:52] <fyrestrtr> that ubotu entry should really be 'To install the ATI/nVidia drivers for your video card, see'
[10:52] <azcazandco> will take a look at that now
[10:52] <cobradera> !driver
[10:52] <moparfan90> i think its different for a sata driver
[10:52] <ubotu> I know nothing about driver
[10:52] <fyrestrtr> as there is not such thing as drivers for your monitor
[10:52] <cobradera> !zc0301
[10:52] <ubotu> I know nothing about zc0301
[10:53] <cobradera> !usb camera

[10:53] <fyrestrtr> don't spam the channel while testing the bot
[10:54] <fyrestrtr> farky: what are you trying to do?
[10:54] <spatieman> fyrestrtr: i see packages in green, that are the installed versions ,do i have to tag all blank fields by hand ??
[10:54] <gatekeeper> farky: if you enter man:badblocks what happens?
[10:54] <Jack_Sparrow> bimberi: I'm lost... got a sce?
[10:54] <fyrestrtr> spatieman: sorry, didn't understand your question.
[10:54] <Jack_Sparrow> sec
[10:55] <bimberi> Jack_Sparrow: sure
[10:55] <reemusk> okay i installed the package for shorewall, how do i turn it on
[10:55] <reemusk> how do i get to it?
[10:55] <farky> gatekeeper: it gives me the man pages for it
[10:55] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: you need to configure it :)
[10:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Trying to get icons off desktop put there with diskmounter script
[10:55] <reemusk> and how do i do that oh magic fyre :)
[10:55] <bimberi> Jack_Sparrow: yep, did you run gconf-editor ?
[10:55] <Jack_Sparrow> In term I got an error
[10:56] <farky> fyrestrtr: I am trying to see if my Sata drive has bad blocks because the text installer is freezing at the partitioner
[10:56] <ompaul> reemusk, curious, why did you not install firestarter?
[10:56] <gatekeeper> farky: good at least you have the command may be it never partitioned it and you don't have a partition table
[10:56] <kitsuneofdoom> hello, this is probably more a general networking question. I want to connect two linux computers (one Ubuntu 6.06, one Debian) to transfer files. I have a standard patch cable...
[10:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Must have typed it wrong... My Bad
[10:56] <reemusk> can i /msg you?
[10:56] <spatieman> fyrestrtr: A clean version of ubuntu is on my pc, i inserted the 6.10 CD, and it asked me to start the package manager, the green selection are installed, do i have to tag the blank field by hand, so that after a aply it dhould be instaled/upgrded
[10:56] <compengi> if i have a 4G disk space how much should swap space be?
[10:56] <bimberi> Jack_Sparrow: ah, kk
[10:57] <ompaul> kitsuneofdoom, two cables and a router or a crossover cable
[10:57] <bimberi> 6.10 ?
[10:57] <rockzman> Can anyone help where my ".Xdefaults" file is (default place)
[10:57] <spatieman> eh, 6.06 sorry.
[10:57] <ompaul> reemusk, you need to prefix whoever your talking to
[10:57] <kitsuneofdoom> ompaul: no way to do this otherwise? I have a router, but it's slow
[10:57] <reemusk> woops ssorry. can i /msg you ompaul
[10:57] <fyrestrtr> spatieman: no, you need to add the CDROM as a respository.
[10:57] <farky> gatekeeper: so, what should i do now?
[10:57] <fyrestrtr> then hit refresh
[10:57] <fyrestrtr> then hit mark upgrades
[10:58] <bimberi> spatieman: so am i, i should stop being so pedantic sorry :)
[10:58] <xt3rminalx> For some reason , ALL my GUI browsers refuse to load any website, yet ALL my text based broswers open ANY website.  what could the problem be? And no, I didnt configure proxy..
[10:58] <fyrestrtr> that should take care of it.
[10:58] <spatieman> how ??
[10:58] <compengi> kitsuneofdoom, then you should use a crossover network cable
[10:58] <Lynoure> bimberi: thanks :)   (But now I'll drown myself into writing a network requirements document... but at least the music on the headphones is good)
[10:58] <compengi> kitsuneofdoom, do you know how to do it?
[10:58] <rockzman> Can anyone help where my ".Xdefaults" file is (default place)
[10:58] <bimberi> Lynoure: :)
[10:58] <fyrestrtr> spatieman: settings -> repositories
[10:58] <spatieman> ah, found,
[10:58] <reemusk> APT would not return any results, fystrtr/ompaul
[10:58] <gatekeeper> farky: it's SATA badblock -v /dev/sda1 might work
[10:58] <compengi> if i have a 4G disk space how much should swap space be?
[10:58] <fyrestrtr> then add cdrom
[10:59] <spatieman> done
[10:59] <DjMix> farky: same happen to me, on a semi-old pc with sis chipset. It seems to be linux that can't recognize properly the ide chipset
[10:59] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: configuring shorewall is really easy, its very simple config files.
[10:59] <gatekeeper> farky: never used sata so I am bit rough at this
[10:59] <azcazandco> rpredro: do I follow past the bit that says this did not work for me or do I just reboot?
[10:59] <asathoor> hi
[10:59] <reemusk> fyrestrtr how do i get to them?
[10:59] <DjMix> farkly: maybe your problem and my are related..
[10:59] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: first, type shorewall version
[10:59] <fyrestrtr> what version do you have?
[11:00] <kitsuneofdoom> compengi: I don't have a crossover network cable
[11:00] <asathoor> my system disk is running out of space, is it possible to combine two disks somehow? i have some partitions with space...
[11:00] <compengi> kitsuneofdoom, you can make one :D
[11:00] <reemusk> fyrestrtr where do i type that? i typed it in the command line and it said it didnt' exist
[11:00] <fyrestrtr> asathoor: lvm can do that, but the steps escape me right now.
[11:00] <cwillu> can somebody walk me through troubleshooting my audio?  I can't seem to get any sound from the soundcard (worked under windows)
[11:00] <spatieman> fyrestrtr: when i click on add, i see edit repositoy,what next ??
[11:00] <asathoor> lvm - ok, I'll try
[11:00] <Jack_Sparrow> asathoor: Any time you work with partitions at level there is a degree of danger
[11:00] <fyrestrtr> spatieman: did you click add cdrom?
[11:00] <kitsuneofdoom> compengi: I don't want to destroy my ethernet cable, though...can I trick it softwarewise easily?
[11:01] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: hold on.
[11:01] <xolot1> cwillu
[11:01] <spatieman> i only can see ADD
[11:01] <xolot1> yeah let me research this for a sec
[11:01] <reemusk> fyrestrtr take your time
[11:01] <spatieman> no add cdrom
[11:01] <xolot1> i had the same problems for a while
[11:01] <jbirdAngel> Hello, how do i have ubuntu find and add a program to the applications list that is on the comp but it hasnt found and added
[11:01] <DjMix> anyone have an Alliance Promotion AT3D card on a dual monitor system?
[11:01] <asathoor> partitions are tricky, yes... but /home on a separate is nice..
[11:01] <compengi> kitsuneofdoom, no you can't, network cards only can work under crossover cable
[11:01] <fyrestrtr> spatieman: in settings -> add repository?
[11:01] <idefix> with what command do you download an entire directory with all subdirs in it?
[11:02] <idefix> while ftp-ing
[11:02] <cwillu> xolot1:  thanks :)
[11:02] <spatieman> mhh,.mom
[11:02] <kitsuneofdoom> compengi: I'll see if I have an old network cable around. So, how would I do this?
[11:02] <compengi> kitsuneofdoom, straight through cable is used if you have a switch or router or hub
[11:02] <naiade> hi, ppl
[11:02] <asathoor> copy try man copy
[11:02] <compengi> kitsuneofdoom, i'll tell you
[11:02] <bimberi> jbirdAngel: you'll need to add the entry yourself, not all installs include a menu entry :|.  Right-click on Applications and select Edit Menus
[11:02] <fyrestrtr> kitsuneofdoom: if you have autosensing network cards, just stick a cable in, it will switch.
[11:03] <asathoor> or #apropos copy
[11:03] <naiade> please, I need help with my xubuntu (alternate, 6.06)
[11:03] <xolot1> cwillu any idea how old your card is?
[11:03] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: how are you connected to the internet?
[11:03] <naiade> sorry about my english, is very poor
[11:03] <reemusk> fyrestrtr DSL
[11:03] <idefix> get -r *.* ?
[11:03] <jbirdAngel> bimberi: okay thanks
[11:03] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: how do you connect to your dsl?
[11:03] <dgl> hi, is there anyway to recover a file deleted by 'rm' command?
[11:03] <bimberi> jbirdAngel: yw :)
[11:04] <PORDO> is it true that dapper uses dmix and ditches esd?
[11:04] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: do you connect to your modem using usb, a network card or what?
[11:04] <reemusk> fyrestrtr NIC
[11:04] <xt3rminalx> yes, that worked Muciak
[11:04] <xt3rminalx> err
[11:04] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: you already have a router?
[11:04] <bimberi> PORDO: i'm on dapper and esd is running
[11:05] <reemusk> fyrestrtr yeah, my DSL modem
[11:05] <jbirdAngel> does ubuntu use Debian 3+?
[11:05] <kitsuneofdoom> fyrestrtr: would my cards be autosensig
[11:05] <kitsuneofdoom> 
[11:05] <bimberi> !debian
[11:05] <xolot1> cwillu do you have an old card?
[11:05] <ubotu> Debian is "the rock upon which Ubuntu is founded". To see more details on the relationship, see: http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship
[11:05] <zdoor> Anybody able to recommend a good newsreader for Gnome?
[11:05] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: you are behind a NAT? (sorry for the questions, want to make sure to set you up properly)
[11:05] <cwillu> xolot1:  intel onboard;  volume control does seem to detect it
[11:05] <fyrestrtr> zdoor: thunderbird
[11:06] <reemusk> fyrestrtr it's oaky, i'm on an ISP, not really a LAN enviroment
[11:06] <kitsuneofdoom> kitsuneofdoom: I have the integrated one in a PC made in 2003 or so, and the integrated one in the laptop I just got today
[11:06] <westdene> is there an ubuntu chan support in spanish?
[11:06] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: does your modem just pass you your external IP address?
[11:06] <bimberi> !es
[11:06] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[11:06] <westdene> thnx
[11:06] <bimberi> westdene: yw :)
[11:06] <reemusk> fyrestrtr: it's DHCP from the ISP each time i connect it's different. does that help?
[11:06] <xolot1> cwillu perhaps i dont have the most experience of eveyrone here, but i had trouble with one of my computers cause it had an old card.  i found this page on the wiki most helpful
[11:06] <xolot1> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/forum/hardware/OldSoundCard
[11:07] <Jack_Sparrow> kitsuneofdoom: The new notebook might be autosensing
[11:07] <nicolas__> im trying to compile openmortal a clone of mortal kombat, but the ./configure cant recognize my libSDL even if i specify the exact path, do i have a way know what filename does the configure want ?
[11:07] <spatieman> fyrestrtr: i click settings ,and see preferences, Repositorys, filters, set internal options, and toolbaar, but no add repositorys, did you meen repositorys?
[11:07] <farky> gatekeeper: should i try and format the partition with 3rd party software before installing?
[11:07] <xolot1> if its more than a problem of not being a new card, i dk that i can help, sorry
[11:07] <specialbuddy> I have a grammar question
[11:07] <dgl> hi, is there anyway to recover a file deleted by 'rm' command?
[11:07] <xolot1> dgl i dont think so?
[11:07] <SeanTater> dgl: what FS?
[11:08] <dgl> SeanTater, ReiserFS
[11:08] <redguy> nicolas__, do you have libsdl-dev installed?
[11:08] <zdoor> Thanks I'll try Thunderbird.
[11:08] <SeanTater> dgl: I doubt it
[11:08] <kitsuneofdoom> Jack_Sparrow and fyrestrtr: I did try to connect them, according to some directions I found. It says 'route not found'
[11:08] <Subhuman> dgl, no there isnt
[11:08] <gnomefreak> zdoor: good choice ;)
[11:08] <fyrestrtr> spatieman: yes, click on repositories
[11:08] <SeanTater> dgl: ext3 is possible, reiserfs not likely.
[11:08] <fyrestrtr> spatieman: then click on add cdrom
[11:08] <gnomefreak> dgl: im agreeing with them i dont think there is
[11:08] <reemusk> fyrestrtr did that help?
[11:08] <dgl> I cant just undo de journal?
[11:08] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: yeah -- finally, are you going to be doing firewall services for a local network, or just your personal computer?
[11:08] <nicolas__> redguy: ohh, no, ill try with that
[11:08] <reemusk> fyrestrtr just my PC
[11:08] <SeanTater> dgl: try seeing if there are any hidden files in the root directory
[11:08] <Jack_Sparrow> kitsuneofdoom: pick up a router since it is good to have around and tie both to that
[11:09] <gatekeeper> farky: dapper uses GParted which also comes on a LiveCD and there are others if you look on the Wiki site, it might be a good idea just to see if you can get that far
[11:09] <cwillu> xolot1: thanks, I'll give that a shot
[11:09] <naiade> please, I'm needing help
[11:09] <Gareth1> dgl, http://antrix.net/journal/techtalk/reiserfs_data_recovery_howto.comments
[11:09] <Gareth1> google ftw
[11:09] <farky> gatekeeper: ok i will try that with the old CD i have
[11:09] <kitsuneofdoom> Jack_Sparrow: I have a router, but when connecting I got speeds of about 700KB/s
[11:09] <redguy> nicolas__, in general, when building packages you need the -dev packages installed
[11:09] <gatekeeper> farky: good luck :-)
[11:09] <fyrestrtr> reemusk: read http://www.shorewall.net/standalone.html -- use the debian instructions when it has instructions for redhat and debian. Really easy in your situation.
[11:09] <Jack_Sparrow> kitsuneofdoom:  So you can connect lappy to Pc?
[11:09] <reemusk> fyrestrtr thanks i'll botehr if i have any other questions
[11:10] <asathoor>  is it possible to backup all system and package settings?
[11:10] <fyrestrtr> bother me tomorrow -- past midnight here.
[11:10] <redguy> naiade, ask your question
[11:10] <kitsuneofdoom> Jack_Sparrow: yes, but you do the math, about 20 gigs over 700KB/s
[11:10] <Cntryboy> Ya'll, all the programs I downloaded from apt-get where does it store these programs? I want to back up all the programs and burn them on a disc because im going to format and use kubuntu instead, and I can't afford to lose what I have because with 2.1KB dialup it takes sooo long to redownload..
[11:10] <reemusk> k
[11:10] <Beckyrmwfc> help:
[11:11] <Beckyrmwfc> i'm trying to get my airport extreme card to work with ubuntu...... where can i get a driver for this?
[11:11] <Jack_Sparrow> kitsuneofdoom:  You are limited by the hardware and 20 gigs will take a lot of time..  Unless you upgrade the PC to 1gigabit Net card
[11:11] <redguy> Cntryboy, you mean where apt-get stores downloaded .deb files ? /var/cache/apt/archives/
[11:11] <LeaChim> Cntryboy, /var/cache/apt/archives
[11:11] <redguy> Cntryboy, but you don't have to reinstall to have kubuntu, jus install kubuntu-desktop
[11:12] <Cntryboy> okay, thanks.. so what program do I use to burn to cd-r's I haven't burned disc with ubuntu yet
[11:12] <gatekeeper> Cntryboy: have a look at this: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81311&highlight=HOWTO%3A+backup
[11:12] <cwillu> yay it works!
[11:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Beckyrmwfc: that is the broadcom bcm43 something right
[11:12] <fyrestrtr> spatieman: once you have added the cdrom, then click reload, and then click mark all upgrades, then click apply -- should work. If it doesn't, copy the packages from the cdrom to /var/cache/apt/archives and then follow the upgrade instructions at the !upgrade wiki
[11:12] <Beckyrmwfc> yeah
[11:12] <kitsuneofdoom> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, but it should go at 100 MBaud
[11:12] <redguy> geez, is it cleaning day today?
[11:12] <Jack_Sparrow> THere were some specific instructions to get that going in the wiki
[11:12] <Cntryboy> redguy: I want a fresh install I'm having video probs and I hope it will work after  fresh install
[11:12] <fyrestrtr> goodnight all
[11:12] <Beckyrmwfc> yeah. its the broadcom bcm43
[11:12] <xolot1> cwillu good job
[11:13] <Cntryboy> gatekeeper: going now thx
[11:13] <redguy> Cntryboy, why not try to resolve your video problems before reinstall?
[11:13] <naiade> I made my serial mouse to work however the cursor doesn't work very well, it's jumping of a side for the other. Please, help me somebody (xubuntu 6.06)

[11:15] <crashzor> naiade, dan its probley a software problem ( hell like you did't figger dat 1 out )
[11:16] <naiade> generic... 3 buttons without scroll
[11:16] <_ShoGo_> Hi, anybody can help me ? I'm installing my printer but it doesn't works. The system seems to detect and configure it but the printer doesn't print. It's an hp deskjet 3325
[11:16] <naiade> hmm.. :(
[11:16] <gatekeeper> farky: could be you don't have a partition table you would need something like fdisk, GParted or whatever to create one
[11:16] <farky> gatekeeper: well i have XP installed on this drive also
[11:17] <Consty> Does anyone know if xmame for dapper is broken?  I can do any OpenGL stuff with it.
[11:17] <lemur> reemusk: locate mozilla/plugins
[11:17] <crashzor> naiade, sounds like a normal mouse to me did you try'd changing the mouse sens ( don't ask where )
[11:17] <gatekeeper> farky: is it all NTFS?
[11:17] <Cntryboy> im in /var/cache/apt/archives/  through terminal what is the command to see how big this dir. is
[11:17] <reemusk> lemur where do i type that?
[11:17] <farky> gatekeeper: 2 partitions are NTFS, 1 is ext3(just created it), and 1 is SWAP(just created it)
[11:17] <_ShoGo_> well, i mean it seems to print but the printed page is just white.. like it hadn't been printed
[11:18] <rockzman> How do I set my background using openbox?
[11:18] <lemur> reemusk: at the console.  If you're in GNOME, you can find a the terminal under the accessories menu
[11:18] <reemusk> lemur: i did that, sadly it did not do anything but give me a blank command line
[11:18] <reemusk> reemusk@ReeDesk:~$ locate mozilla/plugins
[11:18] <reemusk> reemusk@ReeDesk:~$
[11:18] <lemur> reemusk: to make a long story short, your plugins go in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins; thse is for all users on the systems.  You can also have your own plugins directory in your home folder
[11:18] <gatekeeper> farky: before of after we started this conversation?
[11:18] <reemusk> interesting
[11:18] <naiade> well... in the xorg.conf i add one line, like this: Option    Protocol    "auto"
[11:19] <Kibou> rockzman: xsetroot or progs like "feh"
[11:19] <lemur> reemusk: sorry the command didn't work :(
[11:19] <rockzman> Kibou: yea right i use feh
[11:19] <naiade> i did add: Option   Resolution    800
[11:19] <rockzman> Kibou: how do i record my feh's bg?
[11:19] <Kibou> rockzman: record?
[11:19] <DjMix> naiade: if it's a serial mouse you can try Microsoft protocol
[11:19] <martijn> #ubuntu
[11:20] <reemusk> lemur: now it says i can't drag and drop the fil ebecause i do not have permission.... sudo nautilus?
[11:20] <naiade> I did it... and was the same
[11:20] <rockzman> Kibou: yea so next time i login it automatically comes as my default bg
[11:20] <Jack_Sparrow> gksudo nautilus
[11:20] <farky> gatekeeper: before we started there were just 2 NTFS ones, and a few minutes ago i just added the ext3 and SWAP partitions
[11:21] <Kibou> rockzman: I guess you have to put the feh command in some config file that gets executed on login..
[11:21] <kordokuvas> hi
[11:21] <rockzman> yea Kibou agreed
[11:21] <rockzman> Kibou: which file is that?
[11:21] <asathoor> hi kor..:
[11:21] <kordokuvas> any1 who can help?
[11:21] <lemur> reemusk: yeah, you can run nautilus with sudo, but generally things like this are considered bad administrative practice and are unnecessarily risky.  What you might consider doing instead is a sudo mv at the command terminal (if you're comfortable with that)
[11:21] <kordokuvas> ? anyone?
[11:21] <lemur> otherwise, knock yourself out
[11:21] <DjMix> naiade: mmm does this mouse have a switch on the bottom?
[11:21] <gatekeeper> farky: try running the installer now, it probable failed because you did not shrink the NTFS partition before you started
[11:22] <kordokuvas> ney,HELP
[11:22] <Cntryboy> Does ubuntu have a cd burning program by default, or will I need to download one?
[11:22] <rockzman> gatekeeper: look how do i set a bg to my openbox using feh
[11:22] <xolot1> kordokuvas what is your q? i probs cant answer it, but mmight as well say it
[11:22] <farky> gatekeeper: yeah i just did and it still freezes right after it detects my disks
[11:22] <kordokuvas> hey,come on,gime me some attention
[11:22] <Ensiferum> hello
[11:22] <kordokuvas> any1 who would like to help?
[11:22] <asathoor> Cntryboy >> just put an empty cd in the drive
[11:22] <xolot1> kordokuvas say your q
[11:22] <asathoor> use gnome
[11:22] <lemur> Cntryboy: GNOME has CD writing tools built in as well as a few handy apps.  I also recommend checking out K3B (my personal favorite) which is in the online repositories
[11:23] <kordokuvas> Now that's why i'm switching to windows
[11:23] <kordokuvas> Fuck
[11:23] <Ensiferum> could someone quicly help with me a simple bash script?
[11:23] <asathoor> Cntryboy >> the same goes for KDE
[11:23] <Cntryboy> Lemur: what is command for gnome cd writing tool, i don't see it in apps
[11:23] <kordokuvas> can't dig a shit in this Ububtu
[11:23] <xolot1> kordokuvas say your q

[11:23] <asathoor> kordokuvas >> what is your problem?
[11:23] <kordokuvas> Now what?
[11:24] <gatekeeper> farky: hmm!
[11:24] <redguy> Ensiferum, depends on the script
[11:24] <Jack_Sparrow> His attitude
[11:24] <kordokuvas> I can't even do anything with this OS
[11:24] <rockzman> kordokuvas: i dont understand ur intention
[11:24] <redguy> Ensiferum, but you can always ask
[11:24] <lemur> Cntryboy: I'm not sure because I usually don't use those programs... if you insert a blank CD, gnome should give you some options on how to deal with it
[11:24] <farky> gatekeeper: yeah i know..
[11:24] <rockzman> kordokuvas: what u want to do?
[11:24] <xolot1> kordokuvas what do you want to do?
[11:24] <rockzman> kordokuvas: what version u installed
[11:24] <redguy> kordokuvas, what is it that you can't do?
[11:24] <rockzman> asathoor:  u unbusy?
[11:24] <kordokuvas> well,let's start with DC++
[11:24] <farky> gatekeeper: i could try erasing my whole drive, but i'm not in the mood to do that hah
[11:24] <Cntryboy> lemur: okay, do you know command with in terminal to see size of a dir?
[11:24] <lonegeek> Why is it that in every program if i put audio at 100 percent its garbled? It was fine 2 minutes ago...now its bad
[11:24] <gatekeeper> farky: what did you use to partition?
[11:24] <asathoor> kordokuvas >> try this website: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper

[11:25] <gatekeeper> farky: noooo
[11:25] <lemur> Cntryboy: sure... try "du -sh ."

[11:25] <Cntryboy> that files are stored
[11:25] <kordokuvas> can't understand how to reach this user directories
[11:26] <farky> gatekeeper: it has it's own boot CD
[11:26] <gatekeeper> farky: on the assumption that the ext3 partion is number 2 can you cd /dev/sda2 ?
[11:26] <asathoor> kordokuvas >> trh
[11:26] <kordokuvas> can't even see why i see the letters here so small and in mozilla too
[11:26] <asathoor> kordokuvas >> try places...
[11:27] <kordokuvas> I'm gonna try go back to boot and select windows xp pro,that's what am gonna try
[11:27] <farky> gatekeeper: can we talk in a user to user channel? it would be easier
[11:27] <Cntryboy> lemur: I'm at the cd/dvd creator-file, so to add files from /var/cache/apt/archives to this cd/dvd creator how would I go about doing this?
[11:27] <gatekeeper> farky: ok

[11:31] <sLiM> Jack_Sparrow, nope im ok
[11:31] <kordokuvas> the hackers who writes-can we all be hackers?
[11:31] <naiade> well, thank you guys. You all was very kind
[11:31] <kordokuvas> and software engeneers?
[11:31] <thingy> Anybody clued up on Blender?
[11:31] <Cntryboy> would it be cp /var/cache/apt/archives /media/cdrom?
[11:31] <redguy> Ensiferum, ok,  you just want the script to echo the filenames in one line, right?
[11:32] <kordokuvas> do i have to be C++ master to work with linux
[11:32] <majd> hey
[11:32] <majd> what's the "gnome-cups-icon"?
[11:32] <Ensiferum> redguy: basically yeah
[11:32] <majd> it's using 160mb of memory
[11:32] <kordokuvas> in windows u don't need to write software just to use it
[11:32] <crashzor> kordokuvas, i don't know C++ and stil work in linux
[11:32] <crashzor> kordokuvas, only if you want to make you're own software you need to work using C++
[11:32] <majd> screw windows
[11:32] <majd> biggest scam in human history
[11:33] <majd> i get a seizure looking at it
[11:33] <kordokuvas> well,how to install a single program HERE????????
[11:33] <gatekeeper> farky: do /join #farky
[11:33] <majd> kordokuvas, System>Administration>Synaptic
[11:33] <crashzor> kordokuvas, sudo apt-get install apache and you have a web server ;)
[11:33] <crashzor> probley apache2.0 my error :p
[11:33] <kordokuvas> I don't need a web server
[11:33] <majd> crashzor, synaptic is much more entuitive for a beginner
[11:34] <technel> I want to mount a hard drive every time Ubuntu boots. Someone said go to System -> Administration -> Disks and it lets me mount the hard drive but: a.) It belongs to ROOT so I cannot modify it and b.) It doesn't do it every time I boot, just the one time I tell it to
[11:34] <Cntryboy> Anyone know how to get files from /var/cache/apt/archives to the cd/dvd creator-file browser with in ubuntu to back up these files on a cd-r? Would it be cp /var/cache/apt/archives /media/cdrom?
[11:34] <kordokuvas> i want to install codecks and programs
[11:34] <majd> kordokuvas, what do you need that you don't have with the default installation?
[11:34] <crashzor> majd, sorry never used it my 1ste linux box had no GUI ;)
[11:34] <kordokuvas> ALL OF IT
[11:34] <frying_fish> Quick question guys, can anyone explain when I try to do a task as sudo I get the error : "sudo: unable to lookup accretion via gethostbyname()"
[11:34] <majd> kordokuvas, do what i told you, search, and click install
[11:34] <kordokuvas> DC++,eMule,some DIVX Player
[11:34] <kordokuvas> dvd player
[11:34] <kordokuvas> winamp player or some like it
[11:34] <majd> kordokuvas, download xmms
[11:34] <frying_fish> kordokuvas: vlc,
[11:34] <majd> and vlc
[11:34] <frying_fish> and for audio, either xmms, or audacious
[11:34] <Cntryboy> kordokuva: vlc or xmm
[11:35] <Hoxzer> http://img134.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot6np.png <- how do I kill this "azureus warning " (this is not my desktop)
[11:35] <kordokuvas> DC++?
[11:35] <majd> xmms looks exactly like winamp
[11:35] <Hoxzer> 
[11:35] <kordokuvas> dont fuck with me,it;s all code
[11:35] <Cntryboy> xmm is nice
[11:35] <frying_fish> kordokuvas: either linuxdcpp or valknut.
[11:35] <Cntryboy> vlc is okay, but buggy
[11:35] <kordokuvas> and some user directories
[11:35] <Hoxzer> Cntryboy: I agreed
[11:35] <lemur> kordokuvas: go use windows
[11:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Some people will be on Windows forever... Fact of life..  More money than brains
[11:35] <skavenge> need to be spoonfed
[11:35] <LjL> !tell kordokuvas about language
[11:35] <frying_fish> and for audio http://audacious-media-player.org
[11:35] <crashzor> lemur, why do you give bad adivise
[11:35] <LjL> kordokuvas: please ask politely what you need to do, and we'll try to help
[11:36] <frying_fish> majd: xmms was written by the same guy
[11:36] <Jack_Sparrow> LjL: He is just on a rant... Ignore him
[11:36] <kordokuvas> well the main reason of windows be on the 1st place is the complissity of Linux
[11:36] <Cntryboy> lemur: to back up the files from /var/cache/apt/archives to the cd/dvd creator file browser would ti be  cp /var/cache/apt/archives /media/cdrom?
[11:36] <redguy> Ensiferum, see this: http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/7Po2tw83.html
[11:37] <kordokuvas> i can't even see what time is it in this ubuntu
[11:37] <skavenge> are people actually trying linux  because they think its easier than windows? i dont understand all this hostility over reading some webpages and having to do some things for yourself .. sad really
[11:37] <frying_fish> kordokuvas: well there you are wrong, I find its actually easy to set up most of my media capabilities in linux, windows is only hanging on for a few games I have failed to get wine to work with yet.
[11:37] <BlueEagle> kordokuvas: That is true only to some extent.
[11:37] <LjL> people....
[11:37] <LjL> !offtopic
[11:37] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[11:37] <majd> kordokuvas, linux won't work out for you if you refuse to look in the top right
[11:37] <frying_fish> indeed
[11:37] <redguy> Ensiferum, but you might also be interested in xargs and/or find's -exec parameter
[11:37] <Ubern00b> Hey all
[11:37] <majd> you don't seem to want it to work
[11:37] <lemur> Cntryboy: For some reason I don't believe that would work.  Your best bet is to use nautilus as a sort of front end to the burning.  I'm not sure about doing this because I usually use k3b; if you download that it has a cd-creator type interface where you can drag and drop all of your files
[11:37] <Cntryboy> skavenge: I don't mind reading pages, but when u have 2.1KB dialup it takes alongggg time to find what ya need.
[11:37] <redguy> Ensiferum, (man xargs, man find)
[11:37] <frying_fish> so, back to my original question, why do I get "sudo: unable to lookup accretion via gethostbyname()" whenever I try to do a sudo task
[11:38] <Cntryboy> lemur: how big is k3b?
[11:38] <Lynoure> kordokuvas: write   date   in a console. There. Now you will see the time. You can also add a clock to the panel if you want to see it all the time.
[11:38] <ajax4> My system update says I have a new package called libcairo2 but it won't let me install it. Anyone else having this problem?
[11:38] <kordokuvas> ok,any1 no how to install some dc++
[11:38] <LjL> frying_fish: accretion?
[11:38] <frying_fish> Cntryboy: you could try gnomebaker? (or is that what nautiluss is)
[11:38] <kordokuvas> how to go to this directories?
[11:38] <skavenge> Cntryboy: thats understandable i guess my point is 99% of what he's complaining about installing is right on the howto
[11:38] <frying_fish> LjL: thats the name of my box.
[11:38] <lemur> Cntryboy: not very large by itself, but it depends on a lot of KDE components, and if you don't have those installed they'll go on as dependencies
[11:38] <LjL> Cntryboy: 9568730 bytes
[11:38] <redguy> kordokuvas, I told you once
[11:38] <frying_fish> kordokuvas: apt-get install linuxdcpp
[11:38] <Ensiferum> redguy: well umh
[11:38] <frying_fish> mostlikely
[11:38] <Cntryboy> wow tooo big
[11:39] <Ubern00b> i need some help.  i set up conky and now I can't log back in.  it crashes everytime.  how do i edit my startup programs, ie. what file do i need to edit?
[11:39] <Cntryboy> take me 5 hours to get that lol
[11:39] <frying_fish> although it will be an old version, you could go and compile a more recent version for yourself.
[11:39] <Ensiferum> i would just like to get every filename printed on its own line completely with the spaces if there are any
[11:39] <Ensiferum> but it seems impossible
[11:39] <Cntryboy> guess I have no choice but to use what is already with ubuntu
[11:39] <kordokuvas> apt-get install linuxdcpp-is it in Chinnese?????????
[11:39] <Cntryboy> just gotta figure it out
[11:39] <Ensiferum> would be faster to device my own fucking language and implement in c++ than sort this bash faggotry out.
[11:39] <frying_fish> kordokuvas: fine, in simpler terms, open up synaptic, and search for it.
[11:39] <BlueEagle> ensiferum: are you refering to ls?
[11:39] <Zambezi> Can anyone help me to use lftp or pftp? I have the information, but I don't have a clue how to connect.
[11:39] <lemur> Cntryboy: good luck!  Hopefully you can just open the disk with nautilus and drag everything in
[11:39] <redguy> Ensiferum, take it easy
[11:39] <kordokuvas> How?
[11:39] <Jack_Sparrow> I look at how many hours I spent tracking down Windows drivers and installing them vs what it to to install Ubuntu and Ubuntu was a breeze.  I had to read maybe 10 pages to find my answers
[11:40] <Ensiferum> redguy: im tired, spent fucknng hours on a 10 line script
[11:40] <Ubern00b> Jack, can you help?
[11:40] <frying_fish> Cntryboy: most you can just use the "CD/DVD creator" in nautilus
[11:40] <LjL> frying_fish: have you perhaps changed that name, recently?
[11:40] <redguy> Ensiferum, you didn't say that you need the filenames on separate lines
[11:40] <ompaul> !language
[11:40] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:40] <Cntryboy> lemur: let me try, but I was wanting to learn some more commands for later use instead of doing it the eas way
[11:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Ubern00b:  How may I help you
[11:40] <idefix> if your receiving mail server is mail.bla.bla is the send server always send.bla.bla?
[11:40] <frying_fish> LjL: nope
[11:40] <LjL> frying_fish: does /etc/hosts list it?
[11:40] <Cntryboy> kk let me do it that way or try brb
[11:40] <frying_fish> However, the system has decided it no longer wants to allow it
[11:40] <Ensiferum> redguy: right
[11:40] <lemur> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, but it's that old time story of how for some devices, at least they exist for windows..  linux has got most things built in, but if it's not in the kernel you're more or less screwed
[11:40] <kordokuvas> It's like a prison society
[11:40] <Ubern00b> I need to know what file I need to edit to alter my start up programs
[11:41] <frying_fish> indeed, although as 127.0.1.1
[11:41] <Ubern00b> i set up conky and now it's gone pear-shaped on me.  i can't log in so I want to edit the file in terminal
[11:41] <kordokuvas> tought guys just wait for a newbie to laugh at him
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> Ubern00b,  depends on what you are starting.
[11:41] <frying_fish> not 127.0.0.1 (which is localhost)
[11:41] <lemur> Cntryboy: I like your attitude. :)  Unfortunately, I'm too old fashioned to know a whole lot about CD writing utilities on the command line (I'm also lazy)
[11:41] <redguy> Ensiferum, result ="${result} $i \n"
[11:41] <kordokuvas> Oh,windows doesh't worth it
[11:41] <BlueEagle> ensiferum: alias ls='ls -1 --color=auto'
[11:41] <LjL> Ubern00b: please define "start up programs". is that the graphical programs you see when you start your Gnome session, or do you mean rather the daemons that get started at linux boot?
[11:41] <kordokuvas> yeah,rigth
[11:41] <Jack_Sparrow> lemur: IT only takes a minute to READ the box when you are buying a piece of hardware or looking at the hardware support list
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> Ubern00b,  could go to the console and use the shell to edit whatever ya want
[11:41] <BlueEagle> ensiferum: to have that done by default add that line to the end of your .bashrc file
[11:42] <Ensiferum> BlueEagle: huh?
[11:42] <redguy> BlueEagle, huh?
[11:42] <Ubern00b> when I set up conky, i added it via the destop options System > Preferences > Sessions.  but I don't know what file it altered.  i just need to know th ename and location
[11:42] <LjL> frying_fish: it should say "127.0.0.1 localhost accretion", and on the following line "127.0.1.1 accretion", i think.
[11:42] <kordokuvas> if i need to do business,i must spent millions in teaching people install and work with linux
[11:42] <frying_fish> ahh right, that would be why it broke itself somewhere
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> !info conky
[11:42] <kordokuvas> i sucseed only with this
[11:42] <ubotu> conky: highly configurable system monitor for X based on torsmo. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1.3.5-0ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 95 kB, installed size 316 kB
[11:42] <BlueEagle> ensiferum: to have the file listed on their own line with spaces. Since you didn't respond to my question I assumed I was right.
[11:42] <kordokuvas> not with fdisk of uglq Slackware
[11:42] <Ensiferum> BlueEagle: thanks anyawy, but that wasnt my problem
[11:42] <kordokuvas> ugly
[11:42] <Ensiferum> anyway i think i have it now
[11:43] <Ensiferum> thanks redguy too
[11:43] <lemur> Jack_Sparrow: you're absolutely right, but sometimes you get stuck with certain devices no matter what.  Linux hardware support is amazing, though.  It beats windows in a lot of ways these days (wasn't always like that, though)
[11:43] <frying_fish> LjL: taa, hadn't thought of looking into there, sorted it now though.
[11:43] <Jack_Sparrow> lemur: I look at my Red HAt install from 10 years ago and go Argh
[11:44] <pete27> I've been interested in trying Ubuntu lately
[11:44] <redguy> kordokuvas, did you come here to get help, or just to share your opinions on ubuntu and linux in general? if the latter, please go to ubuntu-offtopic
[11:44] <pete27> and I have a question about Kubuntu vs. Ubuntu
[11:44] <Ubern00b> I could really use some help.  I just need the file location and name and then I'm sure I can edit it myself with nano so that I edit out conky from the startup applications.
[11:44] <Ubern00b> I just don't know what frickin' file I need to edit (i am a frickin' n00b)
[11:44] <Jack_Sparrow> pete27:  ASk away
[11:44] <kordokuvas> redguy?
[11:44] <lemur> pete27: it's not really a "vs" relationship :)
[11:44] <skavenge> this channel is for support not ranting
[11:44] <kordokuvas> what help can u give me,u r just chatting
[11:45] <kimo> !xen
[11:45] <ubotu> xen is a a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. It can be found at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/
[11:45] <kordokuvas> i didn't get any help here sinse now
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> Ubern00b,  may want to go ask in #gnome
[11:45] <kimo> gah, doesnt have a link for installing xen!!
[11:45] <LjL> kordokuvas: look, i'm not even sure i know what you're on about. yet, this is a support channel, so if you need help, ask, if you want to discuss, report problems, complain, make suggestions etc., perhaps try #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:45] <Ubern00b> K.  Dr_Willis I'll go there. thx.
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> I dont even see any gnome-type session files. may be part of gconf configs
[11:45] <pete27> I love KDE, is Kubuntu as good as Ubuntu?
[11:45] <Jack_Sparrow> pete27: Only significant difference is the desktop  KDE or Gnome
[11:45] <redguy> kordokuvas, you got help
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> pete27,  yes
[11:45] <kimo> pete27: yes :) #kubuntu
[11:46] <LjL> pete27: that's quite a subjective judgment...
[11:46] <lemur> this is not an "official" support channel, though; this is place where you MIGHT POSSIBLY find people willing to help you if they feel like it.
[11:46] <kordokuvas> yeah,whatever,if u say so
[11:46] <lemur> And if you are very polite, that helps
[11:46] <pete27> Well, KDE and Gnome are pretty different., I was thinking that maybe Ubuntu was better with gnome becuase thats what its focused on
[11:46] <pete27> And kubuntu would be a kind of kludge?
[11:46] <Jack_Sparrow> pete27: I had some issues with Kubuntu... The new Mepis 6 is based on the Ubuntu Repos... Just to confuse you more.. THey all offer live CD's try them out
[11:46] <skavenge> we told you how to install everything you asked unfortunetly you missed the good advice in between your crying
[11:46] <kordokuvas> u may need to check dictonaru for a Newbie or amateur and how to laugh at him really loud
[11:47] <LjL> pete27: in my opinion, ubuntu is better than kubuntu. and yet, i use kubuntu. though no, i wouldn't go as far as calling it a "kludge" for sure. anyway, that's just opinions
[11:47] <kordokuvas> hahahah,look at this lamer windows user
[11:47] <LjL> kordokuvas: are you finished yet?=
[11:47] <pete27> interesting
[11:47] <kimo> LjL: exactly agree
[11:47] <redguy> kordokuvas, nobody was laughing at you, it is you who is ranting since you joined
[11:47] <skavenge> take it to #ubuntu-offtopic to rant if you dont have a specific question, honestly
[11:47] <kordokuvas> u c now why windows will be in the 1st place in 200 years of time from now on
[11:47] <Gooofy_> can anyone explain TOP ?
[11:47] <LjL> kordokuvas: ok, stop NOW.
[11:48] <Dr_Willis> i dont even recall kordokuvas  asking somthing.. oh well his loss...
[11:48] <useename> try typing "man top" into your terminal
[11:48] <kimo> where are all the kickers when you need them :)
[11:48] <Gooofy_> my ubuntu server has 1GB RAM, and TOP shows 894MB being used
[11:48] <kordokuvas> whatever,i'm disapointed
[11:48] <moparfan90> am trying to install a .deb file and it says dependensy is not satifiable: xlibs
[11:48] <Jack_Sparrow> redguy: Truthfully, I was laughing at the ignorance and arrogance of some of the Windows people
[11:48] <moparfan90> what should i do?
[11:48] <Dr_Willis> kordokuvas,  we are dissapointed in you also.
[11:48] <useename> \ignore kordokuvas
[11:48] <LjL> kordokuvas: i'm sorry that you're disappointed. i'm afraid you're simply in the wrong channel, that's all.
[11:48] <hyphenated> moparfan90: sudo apt-get install xlibs
[11:48] <LjL> kordokuvas: so, if you need help with Ubuntu, please ask here. if you don't, please talk in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:49] <kordokuvas> well im afraid u just dont wanna help me
[11:49] <skavenge> *sigh*
[11:49] <skavenge> really this is old
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> moparfan90,  xlibs is a little weird now with the change to the module org.
[11:49] <kordokuvas> and u still claim it's a support channel
[11:49] <LjL> kordokuvas: what was your question about Ubuntu again?
[11:49] <useename> hmm, how come the ignore command doesn't work in Gaim?

[11:49] <kordokuvas> how to do something
[11:49] <redguy> Jack_Sparrow, hmm well you shouldn't have done it
[11:49] <LjL> kordokuvas: you use the APT system for installing programs.

[11:51] <Jack_Sparrow> redguy: I put him on ignore ages ago and just chuckled to myself...
[11:51] <kordokuvas> i dont even know what is it

[11:51] <kordokuvas> he's dead now
[11:51] <lemur> pete27: I was afk for a minute, but what I wanted to say is that whether you run kubuntu or ubuntu really doesn't matter a WHOLE lot unless you prefer one DE over the other.  The two distros differ just slightly in package configuration, so you get some different apps, but the base is fundamentally the same

[11:52] <redguy> darn, that's not a very useful factoid..
[11:52] <Jack_Sparrow> My BAd
[11:52] <Dr_Willis> kordokuvas,  right there in the menus for me...
[11:52] <Cntryboy> grrr
[11:52] <LjL> kordokuvas: yes, i do. System / Administration / Package Management (Synaptic), or something very similar.
[11:52] <Dr_Willis> or run it from the shell :)
[11:53] <technel> I want to mount a hard drive every time Ubuntu boots. Someone said go to System -> Administration -> Disks and it lets me mount the hard drive but: a.) It belongs to ROOT so I cannot modify it and b.) It doesn't do it every time I boot, just the one time I tell it to
[11:53] <ciaron> whats the correct method to get dual monitor working with fxgrl
[11:53] <[Nige] > hi all.
[11:53] <Cntryboy> lemur: i'm running into problems.. The files I want to burn has the lock on them and when I go to write to disc it says the locked files are unreadable and ask if I want to skip them...
[11:53] <charle97> !fstab
[11:53] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[11:53] <LjL> kordokuvas: or rather System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager <--- just like the page THAT YOU HAVE BEEN JUST POINTED TO says (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto), in the second paragraph
[11:53] <[Nige] > I deleted some files through konqueror this morning that I shouldnt have, is there anyway to get them back?
[11:53] <lemur> Cntryboy: so are you saying that you don't have read access to the files you want to archive?
[11:53] <LjL> [Nige] : not really
[11:53] <Dr_Willis> [Nige] ,  heh - check the trashcan?
[11:53] <frying_fish> [Nige] : depends how "deleted" you did
[11:54] <wazoo> hello all. breezy had an applet to let me run a program as another user. in dapper it's gone. anybody know where it went?
[11:54] <frying_fish> if you just did it in konqueror (that usually sends it to ~/.Trash) then you can get them back.
[11:54] <[Nige] > well i selected the files through konqueror and pushed delete
[11:54] <kordokuvas>  System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager-I will never find this
[11:54] <[Nige] > I will check the trash, but it was from a network share....
[11:54] <Dr_Willis> kordokuvas,  then go back to windows if you are that hopeless.
[11:54] <kordokuvas> it's like windows file system,not like this bin file system
[11:54] <Patrick_> does anyone know if there is a Linux emulator for windows?
[11:54] <[Nige] > i had mount a volume on my pc from my file server, then deleted it...
[11:54] <frying_fish> kordokuvas: why will you never find it, the only reason you can't find that is incompetence
[11:55] <Cntryboy> lemur: I went through nat. and draged and dropped them where I should burn them, but it says they are unreadable.. and to skip but I don't wanna skip them
[11:55] <frying_fish> Patrick_: cygwin
[11:55] <moparfan90> is there a way to make xmms play in 6 channel mode?
[11:55] <charle97> !wine
[11:55] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[11:55] <[Nige] > Patrick_: vmware :)
[11:55] <LjL> kordokuvas: "System" is the menu right on the top-left of your screen. third menu. see: Applications, Places, System. go to System. then follow Administration, then Synaptic
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> Patrick_,  theres doeznes of 'thangs' like that - depends on what you are trying to do.
[11:55] <Patrick_> [nige]  link?
[11:55] <redguy> kordokuvas, I would also suggest that you would click the icon with "?" on the top of your screen. It will open a help browser. The second item in the menu in the window should be Ubuntu Desktop guide. Click it and read about the basic concepts of ubuntu
[11:55] <Cntryboy> lemur: not sure about read access or not
[11:55] <moparfan90> patrick_, google is your friend
[11:55] <Patrick_> Dr_Willis, run programs like Airsnort, etc.
[11:55] <kordokuvas> incompetence-Well excuse me,if i am not a Linus Torvald himself
[11:55] <[Nige] > Patrick_: http://www.vmware.com/
[11:55] <Patrick_> moparfan90, google is a enemy to dialup
[11:55] <moparfan90> oo
[11:55] <moparfan90> lol
[11:55] <redguy> kordokuvas, the "?" icon is the third icon next to "system" menu
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> Patrick_,  a lot of those do have windows ports. :P
[11:55] <Cntryboy> lemur: I can double click on them and they open up, so I guess I have read access
[11:56] <charle97> who is this linus torvald?
[11:56] <Patrick_> the creator of linux.
[11:56] <Patrick_> lol
[11:56] <lemur> Cntryboy: yeah...  so wait, these files are not on your machine locally?
[11:56] <Dr_Willis> charle97,  try google and get his full bio. :P
[11:56] <Eazy-> hehe
, are you kining me
[11:56] <redguy> charle97, check in wikipedia
[11:56] <Eazy-> who is bill gates? ;)
[11:56] <moparfan90> loil
[11:56] <Patrick_> lol
[11:56] <charle97> lol, i was being facetious
[11:56] <redguy> the richest man in babylon ;-)
[11:56] <Dr_Willis> Where in the world is Caraman San Diego?
[11:56] <Dr_Willis> :P
[11:56] <LjL> it's "Torvalds" by the way
[11:56] <Cntryboy> lemur: no they are the files in var/apt/cache/archives
[11:56] <lemur> linus torvalds created linux like columbus discovered the new world
[11:56] <kordokuvas> synaptic Package manager
[11:56] <kordokuvas> is it that
[11:57] <reemusk> i can't figure out how to install flash. where do i extract the files to?
[11:57] <redguy> kordokuvas, yes
[11:57] <Cntryboy> var/cache/apt/archives rather
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> Linux tip #1 - THINK.
[11:57] <LjL> koshka88: like we just said, for the tenth time... YES
[11:57] <lemur> Cntryboy: so you want to save your package cache?
[11:57] <redguy> Linux tip #2 READ
[11:57] <Cntryboy> lemur: everything is dragged and waiting to burn btw
[11:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Dr_Willis:  #1 Should be LISTEN
[11:57] <LjL> koshka88: not you of course
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> Linux tip #3 Explore and learn.
[11:57] <lemur> Cntryboy: interesting...
[11:57] <Turkey> hello
[11:57] <lemur> Linux tip #4 have fun
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> Jack_Sparrow,   nah - they listen then dont think aout what they heard
[11:57] <Cntryboy> lemur: yah I want to burn the files in var/cache/apt/archives along with some other apps I have on desktop.
[11:57] <Turkey> everybody
[11:57] <kordokuvas> now what,it's same strange Linux
[11:58] <charle97> the fluxbox stick is the greatest
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> Tip #5 - when asking a question, dont be vague and rambling.
[11:58] <Cntryboy> lemur: the only reason why is since im on slow 2.1KB dialup as u understand I won't have to redownload them through apt-get and I can just reinstall using kubuntu and add those files back into the dir
[11:58] <LjL> kordokuvas: now you can click on any program that you want installed, and then click Apply, and they will be installed
[11:58] <abo> how can I print to a file (preferably pdf, but ps will do)
[11:58] <abo> ?
[11:58] <technel> I want to mount a hard drive every time Ubuntu boots. Someone said go to System -> Administration -> Disks and it lets me mount the hard drive but: a.) It belongs to ROOT so I cannot modify it and b.) It doesn't do it every time I boot, just the one time I tell it to
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> !mount
[11:58] <ubotu> Disks store lots of data. Partitioning: try gparted or qtparted  - Formatting: see the manpage for mkfs  - Mounting: system -> administration -> disks
[11:58] <LjL> kordokuvas: or you can click on a program that you have already installed, and after clicking Apply it will be uninstalled
[11:58] <Patrick_> [nige]  what vmware program should I get? and, how exactly does this emulate linux? does it just like completely run linux within windows?
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> technel,  is it a NTFS drive?
[11:59] <technel> Dr_Willis, FAT32
[11:59] <[Nige] > well you need the workstation and the server, there are free servers up there
[11:59] <redguy> !ntfs
[11:59] <LjL> Patrick_: VMWare (all kinds) simply emulate a PC. you have to put an OS on it, just like on a real PC
[11:59] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[11:59] <[Nige] > install it and install linux inside the virtual machine
[11:59] <charle97> @chuck
[11:59] <lemur> Cntryboy: okay, so you do have read access.  the problem you're having is probably related to nautilus itself.  Sorry I can't help you much there :(
[11:59] <Dr_Willis> technel,  edit the stab manually and use the umask=0002 option (i think)  theres oodles of examples of the right lines online
[11:59] <Dr_Willis> !ntfs
[11:59] <Jack_Sparrow> technel:  You can also try the diskmounter script http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounter
[11:59] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[11:59] <Cntryboy> kk
[11:59] <Patrick_> [nige]  I see, how well does this work within windows? (it seems like a great option for me)
[11:59] <Dr_Willis> !fstab\
[11:59] <ubotu> I know nothing about fstab\
[11:59] <Dr_Willis> !fstab
[11:59] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[12:00] <LjL> Patrick_: slower than native, but not by too much. it works well.
[12:00] <Patrick_> LjL, thanks
[12:00] <kordokuvas> nothing will do 2night or any night it seems
[12:00] <technel> Dr_Willis, Sorry, where would I find the stab? I have heard of it, not familiar however
[12:00] <Cntryboy> lemur: well thx, do u know anyone else here that can help me? I need to get this done lol so I can spend time with nephew
[12:00] <LjL> kordokuvas: nothing will do what?
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> technel,  fstab :P check those bot urls
[12:00] <element> I'm getting ready to order some new hardware for a computer and I'm moving to Linux in the process.  Does anyone have a suggestion for a high-end DVD burner that works well with ubuntu?
