[12:01] <HackerX> kaot: ok i have to put that?
[12:01] <kaot> HackerX: yeah just type "done" and hit enter
[12:01] <LeaChim> imagemagick will do it iirc andyjeffries - google it and have a look
[12:01] <HackerX> kaot: ohhhh ok its good now
[12:02] <andyjeffries> LeaChim: I'm actually after a GUI app...
[12:02] <kaot> HackerX: ok now edit /etc/modules and add ndiswrapper at the end there
[12:02] <khaije1> Phoul: i'm asking on #debian, you may wanna to see
[12:02] <Polkadotshorts> CAN SOMEONE HELP! I have got a bunch of .lit (ebook)files, and I have something that will convert it, but I have to compile it. How to I do that?
[12:03] <juztin> how do i switch from gdm to kdm?
[12:03] <Stormx2> I need to figure out what applications are hogging my connection. How?
[12:03] <Warbo> Polkadotshorts: Usually ./configure && make && checkinstall
[12:03] <peter84> huumm no one?
[12:03] <HackerX> kaot: Alright done
[12:04] <kaot> HackerX: oh, almost forgot.  sudo ndiswrapper -l
[12:05] <kaot> HackerX: should say driver present, hardware present
[12:05] <Barkley_> kaot :D
[12:05] <Barkley_> kaot that works now
[12:05] <kaot> Barkley_: got it?  everything works?
[12:05] <cubikdice> w0rd. successfully install Ubuntu 6.06 Server on this server :D
[12:05] <cubikdice> LAMP server
[12:05] <Barkley_> kaot so i'm just natting between the two interfaces?
[12:05] <kaot> Barkley_: yep
[12:05] <K^Holtz> Just got my CDs from shipit, bout to install now.. can someone tell me a list of packages i will have to install right away? this pc has a Nvidia TNT2 Graphics card...
[12:05] <cubikdice> how do i get things started? like the webserver and such..or is that already running?
[12:05] <Barkley_> it routes eveyrthing --- no problems with this approach?
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> The program to convert lit files to something else, is called c-lit. Anyway, how am I supposed to know what THIS means:
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> To compile on linux:
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> cd lib
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> make
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> cd ../clit12
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> make
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> clit12 (without parameters, will explain usage)
[12:06] <kaot> Barkley_: nope, shouldn't be any
[12:06] <ApocalypticOni> I am installing Ubuntu on another computer. In the "prepare disk space" section, i selected "erase entire disk." It has ben somewhere around an hour and a half since then, and its only a 20gb hard drive. it doesnt seem like this should be taking so long. has something froze and is my computer doomed to a horrible fate?
[12:06] <Warbo> cubikdice: Look in /etc/init.d
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> That is what I am supposed to do
[12:06] <Barkley_> kaot will you repaste that line?
[12:06] <HackerX> kaot: alright looks good
[12:06] <Barkley_> so i can save it....thanks a lot
[12:06] <cubikdice> K^Holtz: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx ?
[12:06] <cubikdice> Warbo: alright
[12:06] <kaot> Barkley: ok now iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s (osx box ip) -j SNAT --to-source (eth1 ip address)
[12:06] <Warbo> Polkadotshorts: Go on then :)
[12:06] <cubikdice> shoot i gotta screen all these terms
[12:06] <cubikdice> :P
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> BUT HOW!?
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> My life is useless. I dont understand it
[12:07] <juztin> how do i switch from gdm to kdm?
[12:07] <Warbo> Polkadotshorts: Seriously, open a terminal and use "cd foldername" to get in to the right folder, then type those things
[12:07] <Polkadotshorts> BUT I TRY!
[12:07] <kaot> HackerX: k.
[12:07] <Polkadotshorts> I only get errors, like unknown command
[12:07] <Polkadotshorts> Or something or other
[12:07] <Warbo> Polkadotshorts: What does it do when you "make"?
[12:07] <kaot> HackerX: gonna privmsg some more stuff real quick
[12:07] <POVaddct> kaot: easier: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
[12:07] <gnomefreak> Polkadotshorts: start by installing build-essential
[12:07] <HackerX> kaot: alright sounds good
[12:07] <Polkadotshorts> bash: make: command not found
[12:07] <ApocalypticOni>  I am installing Ubuntu on another computer. In the "prepare disk space" section, i selected "erase entire disk." It has ben somewhere around an hour and a half since then, and its only a 20gb hard drive. it doesnt seem like this should be taking so long. has something froze or is this ust normal?
[12:07] <Warbo> Polkadotshorts: "sudo apt-get install build-essential"
[12:08] <bthornton> When connecting to a shared CUPS printer on another host, do I need to be running the same printer driver on the client as is used on the host physically connected to the printer?
[12:08] <juztin> ApocalypticOni, that's a bit long for 20 gigs :P
[12:09] <Barkley_> ok the IP chains are doing their job....thnx
[12:09] <ApocalypticOni> juztin: i thought so, but the comp is completely froxen. is it even remotely smart to pull the plug and try again, or should i just leave it?
[12:09] <kaot> POVaddct: masquerade not recommended for static connections for some reason.  i dunno why.  i've always done snat.  but yeah -o eth1 works.
[12:09] <kaot> Barkley_: np
[12:09] <juztin> ApocalypticOni, i would not pull the plug.....just do a hard shutdown (hold the power button until it shuts off), and try again
[12:10] <juztin> can someone tell me how to swtich from gdm to kdm login?
[12:10] <nxvl> i have just installed ubuntu via netboot, but i think it fuk'd up my MBR, how do i start a liveCD or stuff from netboot?
[12:10] <ApocalypticOni> :juztin: thanks, i will do that
[12:10] <juztin> ApocalypticOni, np
[12:10] <kaot> HackerX: first tho check your /etc/network/interfaces , see if there's any reference to wireless stuff in there that may have been autoconfigured
[12:10] <krang> how do I increment a variable in a script? Can i even do that, ie set $var to 3, then crank it up?
[12:11] <_daniel_> Hi how can I type unicode commands using the keyboard ?
[12:11] <POVaddct> kaot: i always use that for both NATing ppp dialin and fixed ip adress setups. no problems so far.
[12:11] <POVaddct> kaot: of course, my iptables rules are less restrictive as yours
[12:11] <kaot> POVaddct: yeah i never really had a problem with MASQ either but what the heck, either way works, and iptables man suggests that way.
[12:12] <HackerX> kaot: i cant get that command to work what am i doing wrong?
[12:12] <kaot> HackerX: what command?
[12:12] <kaot> oh, edit or cat that file.   like cat /etc/network/interfaces
[12:12] <Warbo> krang: I am crappy at scripting, but I would do $var1=3 then loop $var2=$(($var1+1)), $var=$var2
[12:13] <Warbo> $var1=$var2 sorry
[12:13] <Zane4111> okay, so im having issues installing xgl...
[12:13] <kaot> krang: or just $var++....altho i don't remember if that's valid for bash
[12:13] <krang> kaot: no, it isn't :-)
[12:13] <kaot> well shoot.  bash bites.  ;)
[12:13] <Zane4111> it needs GLProto, which i cant find at all
[12:13] <HackerX> auto lo
[12:13] <HackerX> iface lo inet loopback
[12:13] <HackerX> auto eth0
[12:13] <HackerX> iface eth0 inet dhcp
[12:13] <HackerX> auto eth1
[12:13] <HackerX> iface eth1 inet dhcp
[12:13] <HackerX> auto eth2
[12:14] <kaot> holy crap
[12:14] <HackerX> iface eth2 inet dhcp
[12:14] <kaot> no pasting in channel
[12:14] <HackerX> auto ath0
[12:14] <Warbo> Zane4111: Are you using the package repos?
[12:14] <kaot> lol
[12:14] <HackerX> iface ath0 inet dhcp
[12:14] <HackerX> auto wlan0
[12:14] <kaot> sigh.
[12:14] <HackerX> iface wlan0 inet dhcp
[12:14] <HackerX> oh sorry
[12:14] <krang> Warbo: cheers, I'll try that
[12:14] <HackerX> sorry sorry i didnt think about that
[12:14] <HackerX> heh
[12:14] <POVaddct> Warbo: bash scripting? that would be var2=$(($var1+1))  without the $ prepended to var2
[12:14] <Zane4111> Warbo: well, as it turns out, theres not a GD thing in the repositories for that
[12:14] <HackerX> wont happen again
[12:14] <kaot> HackerX: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[12:14] <Warbo> POVaddct: Ah, what was I thining?
[12:14] <Warbo> *thinking
[12:15] <POVaddct> Warbo: in bash you only put a $ before a variable name if you want to get the variable's content
[12:15] <HackerX> kaot: oh ok
[12:15] <Warbo> POVaddct: Yeah, I would have done that automaitcally if it was in front of me
[12:15] <POVaddct> Warbo: so $a=12 is a syntax error, but a=12 isn't
[12:15] <fowlduck> $ means replace what is after me with it's value
[12:16] <HackerX> but does it look good or ???
[12:16] <POVaddct> Warbo: in perl however, $a=12 is valid
[12:16] <kaot> HackerX: no it looks like a mess
[12:16] <HackerX> o
[12:16] <HackerX> ok
[12:16] <Warbo> POVaddct: I know a bit of bash and hardly any Python and that is it
[12:16] <HackerX> hold on
[12:16] <woshee> hello
[12:16] <_daniel_> Hi am need to insert a special character which is unicode code is 040 but I dont know the keyboard combination to insert a characther, does anybody know ?
[12:16] <fowlduck> Warbo, ruby ftw
[12:17] <POVaddct> Warbo: i only know bash and very little perl
[12:17] <hcjc92> umm.... wtf, i just compiled something with g++ and it won't run (a cpp file i wrote)
[12:17] <woshee> I've got a little problem with my webcam, the image is very dark and orange....
[12:17] <fowlduck> POVaddct, ruby ftw
[12:17] <HackerX> kaot: ok i used that site thing but how do you see it?
[12:17] <POVaddct> fowlduck: i know ruby exists :)
[12:18] <kaot> HackerX: i got it
[12:18] <HackerX> otay
[12:18] <Zane4111> wait, how do you use git...
[12:18] <Zane4111> is there even a git to be had?
[12:18] <concept10> POVaddct, what are you guys trying to code?
[12:18] <Zane4111> because when the error comes up it mentions git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/proto/proto-GLProto
[12:18] <Warbo> !xgl
[12:18] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[12:18] <concept10> POVaddct, (if you dont mind)
[12:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Anyone have luck removing open office?
[12:19] <POVaddct> concept10: don't know. i just saw a few code snippets from Warbo
[12:19] <Jenkens> why is LVM and EVMS in some of the rcX.d directories, but not changeable by rcconf?
[12:20] <concept10> POVaddct, i was just asking (im always trying to sneak ruby into the system)
[12:20] <Jack_Sparrow> _daniel_: did you try ctrl-alt and that number
[12:20] <Warbo> concept10: krang wanted to make a variable increase, that seemed within my very limited Bash knowledge
[12:20] <POVaddct> concept10: i scrolled back and found it
[12:20] <kaot> HackerX: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17286
[12:20] <fowlduck> concept10, ruby ftw
[12:20] <POVaddct> concept10: krang was asking how to increment a var in a (shell) script
[12:20] <_daniel_> Jack_Sparrow, yes it does not work
[12:20] <_daniel_> that is in windows
[12:20] <Jack_Sparrow> worth a try
[12:21] <POVaddct> krang: in bash, simple as that:   var=$[var+1] 
[12:21] <cubikdice> how do i get out of screen? i have irssi running in it andi  screen -x back into it when ever i want...how do i get out leaving irssi still running?
[12:21] <HackerX> kaot: you want me to replace it with that and save it?
[12:21] <krang> POVaddct, Warbo: yeah, got it. I used var=$(($var+1)) though
[12:21] <Jenkens> anyone?
[12:21] <Zane4111> theres no one active in #ubuntu-xgl, and i need help
[12:21] <kaot> HackerX: yep.  change "(your wireless network name)" to just be your wirless network name, whatever that is.
[12:21] <krang> POVaddct: what difference does the []  make?
[12:21] <Stx> cubikdice: ctrl-a, ctrl-d.
[12:22] <POVaddct> cubikdice: do you want to detach screen? or really terminate it?
[12:22] <kaot> ahhh it evals that expression
[12:22] <concept10> krang, what does it increase to?
[12:22] <fowlduck> krang, means evaluate me
[12:22] <kaot> it's coming back to me now
[12:22] <kaot> lol
[12:22] <roostishaw> how would i go about installing fluxbox, and getting it to appear in that login menu for gdm?
[12:22] <POVaddct> krang: in bash, $[]  is a shortcut for $(())
[12:22] <krang> concept10: 3 --> 4
[12:22] <krang> POVaddct: so []  and (()) are *precisely* equivalent?
[12:22] <K^Holtz> OK, i had this same problem with the previous ubuntu version... i put in the cd, click start or install ubuntu, and i get an error... it says something about PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6... crc error ... Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)
[12:22] <kaot> roostishaw: sudo apt-get install fluxbox, i imagine
[12:22] <Warbo> roostishaw: "sudo apt-get install fluxbox"
[12:23] <roostishaw> kaot, ok, just making sure  :D
[12:23] <roostishaw> thanks
[12:23] <POVaddct> krang: i think so. but better check the man page.
[12:23] <HackerX> kaot: ok where the ssid is do i leave the ( ) around the ssid or just put the ssid
[12:23] <krang> POVaddct: cheers
[12:23] <kaot> just the ssid, no parens
[12:23] <HackerX> kk
[12:23] <Jack_Sparrow> _daniel_: This may help  http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#x11
[12:23] <Micksa> hi
[12:24] <Micksa> so um, while messing around trying to get compiz working... :)
[12:24] <Micksa> I appear to have killed the "dbus session service".
[12:24] <aunes> that thing is almost optional anyway
[12:24] <POVaddct> cubikdice: ctrl-a d to detach, screen -r to reattach, ctrl-a k to kill. if that was the question.
[12:24] <Micksa> I guess I can trash my gnome setup to get it back (a new user runs it) but that's a lotta work
[12:24] <Micksa> what do I look for?
[12:24] <HackerX> kaot: Alright its saved
[12:25] <POVaddct> cubikdice: to gently exit screen, just exit all applications running inside it
[12:25] <kaot> HackerX: ok.  now reboot, and cross your fingers.
[12:25] <HackerX> kaot: ok ill be back to let ya know. Thanks
[12:25] <cyphase> if the current driver doesn't work, and X is going to crash, fall back to the vesa driver
[12:26] <Zane4111> Im getting extremly frustrated and I need answers
[12:26] <fowlduck> Zambezi, whats the problem?
[12:26] <fowlduck> Zane4111,  whats the problem?
[12:27] <Zane4111> trying to instal xgl, needs the proto-GLProto  package, points me at something called git, i dont have git, nor have i ever heard of git
[12:27] <Warbo> cyphase: The auto-detection that Dapper does is quite good (but it makes a new xorg.conf, so I have to redo all of my resolutions :( )
[12:27] <fowlduck> Zane4111, heh, no idea, google?
[12:27] <nyxie> hello. how can i run a *.glade file?
[12:27] <Consty> does the server edition of ubuntu come with the gui?
[12:27] <Consty> gnome I should say.
[12:27] <Zane4111> if anyone here has the slightest idea what Git is, let me know...
[12:28] <Kyral> Git is kinda like SVN I THINK
[12:28] <Warbo> Zane4111: You? Sorry that was mean :)
[12:28] <Kyral> its the same idea
[12:28] <Kyral> kernel.org uses it
[12:28] <cyphase> Warbo, i mean, if you change the driver from nv to nvidia, and it doesn't work, it should fall back to vesa instead of crash
[12:28] <Jenkens> is there anything that can tell me what the default start/stop levels of a service I removed via update-rc.d were? rather than dropping them in at their defaults or whatever
[12:28] <Jenkens> default being "20"
[12:28] <concept10> Zane4111, I saw those earlier today
[12:28] <cyphase> or even, fall back to nv
[12:28] <nyxie> !glade
[12:28] <ubotu> I know nothing about glade
[12:28] <picket> http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Git
[12:28] <POVaddct> g'night people
[12:28] <fowlduck> glade is an interface-builder
[12:28] <fowlduck> for gtk
[12:28] <concept10> thats not it
[12:28] <Zane4111> there doesnt appear to be any sign of it for download
[12:29] <Zane4111> other then for cygwin
[12:29] <Zane4111> which is usless
[12:29] <K^Holtz> OK, i had this same problem with the previous ubuntu version... i put in the cd, click start or install ubuntu, and i get an error... it says something about PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6... crc error ... Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0). Can anyone help me out with this please? I'd really like to get on ubuntu
[12:29] <fowlduck> Zane4111, google it for yourself
[12:29] <levandanna> i'm having issues with xgl
[12:29] <Zane4111> so how are you all installing xgl if i cant, and all i did was install the GD os off the cd
[12:29] <fowlduck> Zane4111, learn to research
[12:29] <eXistenZ> How can search for patterns inside files?
[12:29] <levandanna> eXistenZ, grep
[12:29] <Warbo> !xgl
[12:29] <Kyral> grep!
[12:29] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[12:29] <Jenkens> no?
[12:29] <Zane4111> okay, i get it, go to the other channel, where NO ONE IS ACTIVE
[12:29] <eXistenZ> Kyral, just grep pattern ?
[12:30] <levandanna> grep pattern file
[12:30] <Kyral> Combined with sed, the jackhammer of Shell Scripters everywhere
[12:30] <fowlduck> Zane4111, no, we mean learn to do things for yourself
[12:30] <levandanna> you can pipe output sa well, eXistenZ
[12:30] <Kyral> or put it into a pipeline
[12:30] <Zane4111> you know, i thought ubuntu was supposed to have this great user base to help you...
[12:30] <nyxie> fowlduck: thnx. im searching now -.-
[12:30] <Kyral> Zane4111: There is a difference between doing it for you and helping
[12:30] <Zane4111> i dont need your elitest RTFM attitude, i need help
[12:30] <Kyral> Zane4111: Doing it for you != Helping you
[12:30] <hcjc92> what do i do with a .bin file?
[12:30] <fowlduck> nyxie, good, I and others are more apt to help if you're trying things on your own as well
[12:30] <picket> !bin
[12:30] <ubotu> I know nothing about bin
[12:30] <picket> !.bin
[12:30] <ubotu> I know nothing about .bin
[12:30] <Zane4111> okay, thats all very nice, but all your doing is pointing to the internet and going "Look here"
[12:31] <picket> ah shoot
[12:31] <Warbo> Zane4111: The idea is FOLLOW the guide and use the repos it gives
[12:31] <Kyral> haha I love the description on git on pacman
[12:31] <fowlduck> nyxie, we don't want to do it for you, i don't manage your computer
[12:31] <Kyral> "Stupid Version Tracker"
[12:31] <aunes> hcjc: make it executable chmod +x file.bin  and then run it like an .exe
[12:31] <Consty> Anyone know if the server version of ubuntu has gnome or if its console based?
[12:31] <nvez> Hey, small question;  What's the "codename" of the current 6.06 version (Hoary, Breezy, or what?) :p
[12:31] <Kyral> !info git
[12:31] <ubotu> git: GNU Interactive Tools, a file browser/viewer and process viewer/killer. In repository universe, is optional. Version 4.3.20-8 (dapper), package size 251 kB, installed size 964 kB
[12:31] <Kyral> there you go
[12:31] <Kyral> learn how to use Apt :P
[12:31] <Flannel> nvez: Dapper Drake
[12:31] <hcjc92> when i double click the jre bin it opens terminal and nothing else happens
[12:31] <Zane4111> I have all the repositories on, it aint there
[12:31] <fowlduck> get the universe repository and install it with ease
[12:31] <concept10> Zane4111, will you were talking crazy I was looking in my history
[12:31] <fowlduck> !universe
[12:31] <aunes> Consty: its console based, but you can install gnome easily
[12:31] <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
[12:32] <Jenkens> is there anything that can tell me what the default start/stop levels of a service I removed via update-rc.d were? rather than dropping them in at 'default (20)'
[12:32] <Kyral> Zane4111: ubotu says its there, so its there
[12:32] <nvez> ty Flannel, and edgy is which one tho?
[12:32] <hedonistic> I have a Dell E1505 laptop with a BCM4311 wireless card - I downloaded a version of ndiswrapper that was not available through synaptic and my led light is now on an wlan0 is active, but I cannot connect to my network...I have tried various recommendations from forums and have talked to a number of experienced linux users via qunu/irc and am still unable to connect - if you think you can help, I would appreciate the attempt.
[12:32] <Kyral> !edgy
[12:32] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For its release schedule, see !schedule
[12:32] <fowlduck> Zane4111, it's there, you may have the lines, but you probably don't have "universe" on those lines
[12:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Zane4111:  in synaptis/repositories, did you click on add?
[12:32] <nvez> ooo
[12:32] <nvez> !breezy
[12:32] <ubotu> breezy was the third release of Ubuntu. Version 5.10, codename "Breezy Badger"
[12:32] <nvez> !dapper
[12:32] <Zane4111> yes i clicked all of them, all are there
[12:32] <ubotu> dapper is the 4th and latest release of Ubuntu. Version 6.06 LTS, codename "Dapper Drake"
[12:32] <Zane4111> all multiverse
[12:32] <nvez> kay, thanks.
[12:32] <Zane4111> all universe, everything
[12:32] <Zane4111> and it doesnt find ANYTHING i need
[12:32] <krang> Shut up uboto. nobody likes you
[12:33] <krang> so damn smug all the time
[12:33] <Zane4111> its like with dapper you took out all the usefull stuff and left in nothing
[12:33] <Kyral> Zane4111: Then quit bitching...jeez...
[12:33] <Jack_Sparrow> zane, listen carefully, did you click on ADD, not just put a check box next to the ones you saw..
[12:33] <Kyral> or use another distro
[12:33] <krang> Does anyone here know what group you have to be a memer of to mount USB keys?
[12:33] <Kyral> Might I suggest ArchLinux? But with your attitude you'd consider them elitest too
[12:33] <fowlduck> Zane4111, just because you are either illiterate, incompetent, or both it doesn't make dapper bad
[12:33] <Warbo> Zane4111: If you want the freedesktop.org XGL then why don;t you use Gentoo? Dapper prefers to package it into repositories
[12:34] <concept10> fowlduck, chill out a bit
[12:34] <Kyral> And you have no idea what "Bad Support" means until you have met a BOFH
[12:34] <fowlduck> concept10, he's slamming hard work because he can't take the time to read a howto
[12:34] <Jack_Sparrow> concept10: Zane is a little out of line for someone asking us to help
[12:34] <fowlduck> concept10, dapper and it's docs are hard work
[12:34] <concept10> I know, i know..
[12:34] <krang> Anyone in the mood to answer questions instead of arguing?
[12:35] <SeanTater_> krang: Re-chmod the contents of the usb key
[12:35] <fowlduck> Jack_Sparrow, indeed
[12:35] <concept10> many people come in here and demand help daily
[12:35] <david189> help! i am having a really difficult time using floppy disks in ubuntu!
[12:35] <SeanTater_> krang: chowning may help too
[12:35] <krang> SeanTater_: Surely that won't help, it won't even mount the thing
[12:35] <Micksa> concept10: on what presumption?
[12:35] <Jack_Sparrow> concept10: Zane is a little out of line for someone asking us to help.  I dont thik he was hitting the ADD button, just putting checkmarks next to the ones he saw.
[12:35] <SeanTater_> krang: you have to be root to mount file systems, (including usb keys)
[12:36] <Kyral> SeanTater_: Not nessecarily
[12:36] <comfrey> hey all...
[12:36] <Jack_Sparrow> concept10: He hasnt been back since I asked him that question
[12:36] <comfrey> i am having an issue with package authentication
[12:36] <krang> Kyral: How might I make that happen then?
[12:36] <Kyral> If the fstab line says "users" in the option then anyone can mount it
[12:36] <concept10> Linux does that to some people... sometimes I need ..err want an instant answer and I load IRC only to come away even more upset and fustrated
[12:36] <Jack_Sparrow> concept10: He may be feeling a little stupid at this moment
[12:36] <gostview> is there a bot for ekiga to test it?
[12:36] <comfrey> i am pulling only from main and getting unverified packages
[12:36] <Kyral> People think us Linux users are storehouses of info
[12:36] <Kyral> Not true
[12:36] <Zane4111> no, as this is ridiculous and impossible
[12:36] <concept10> I found out the way to get stuff done.  Search and dont use IRC as a crutch
[12:37] <Kyral> we just are really good at reading documentation :D
[12:37] <comfrey> i did install from debootstrap
[12:37] <Micksa> heh
[12:37] <Jenkens> heh
[12:37] <SeanTater_> Kyral: ubotu is! Just not always /helpful/ info
[12:37] <Kyral> manpages are your FRIEND :D
[12:37] <aunes> I'm not a storehouse.. I just know how tobe satisfied with limited functionality. :-)
[12:37] <HackerX> kaot: alright it didnt show up in my connection list im not sure if it worked or not
[12:37] <krang> Kyral: Yeah, I have helped people with things I know nothing about just because I have better google skills
[12:37] <fowlduck> Zane4111, maybe you should step away for a bit then come back fresh
[12:37] <Micksa> it's good when manpages have the answers in there somewhere
[12:37] <Micksa> but they don't always
[12:38] <Micksa> anyone know about dbus? :)
[12:38] <Zane4111> why is something that is supposed to be a feature of the distro so impossible to install?
[12:38] <Zane4111> shouldnt it come down with xgl?
[12:38] <Kyral> Not much, aside that it will replace DCOP
[12:38] <Zane4111> or have it precompiled
[12:38] <HackerX> kaot: are you in here?
[12:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Zane4111: when you click on repositories and then on the add button how many check boxes come up, how many are checked..
[12:38] <Kyral> Zane4111: XGL is an Alpha toy
[12:38] <Warbo> The mencoder man page is horribly long :( (it is the same as mlayer)
[12:38] <aunes> xgl isn't a feature. its an addon, methinks.
[12:38] <aunes> by default, if I plug my iPod into ubuntu, is it going to auto-recognize it? do I have to specially find drivers/programs and such to fiddle with it?
[12:38] <Zane4111> says on my box "Featuring such eye candy toys as XGL"
[12:38] <K^Holtz> OK, i had this same problem with the previous ubuntu version... i put in the cd, click start or install ubuntu, and i get an error... it says something about PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6... crc error ... Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0). Can anyone help me out with this please? I'd really like to get on ubuntu
[12:38] <Kyral> Zane4111: Its half broken, shiny, buzzword to make business execs go "Oooooo"
[12:38] <concept10> I promise finding info is a pain in the ass sometimes, but I promise I got more done (programming) one week when I lost my internet connection that with me hanging on irc asking questions to problems
[12:38] <aunes> I would test it out, but its in the mail on its way to me.
[12:39] <fowlduck> Zane4111, did you follow the howto?
[12:39] <Micksa> Zane4111: do you want your money back? ;)
[12:39] <Lapo> Hi all :-D
[12:39] <Warbo> aunes: Well my mates iPod worked fine for me
[12:39] <Zane4111> im following, i got to the part with the glproto proto gl proto whatevers
[12:39] <HackerX> does anyone know if kaot left?
[12:39] <aunes> Warbo: Just plug and play and everything is gravy?
[12:39] <concept10> Zane4111, what are you reading?
[12:39] <omglazers> Anyone here mind answering a question about drive formats for linux?
[12:39] <Kyral> Zane4111: Think about it, do you NEED XGL or do you WANT it
[12:39] <Kyral> omglazers: I can try
[12:39] <Warbo> aunes: Yes, it goes in /media/iPod I think
[12:39] <aunes> omglazers: don't ask to ask. just ask.
[12:40] <fowlduck> !anyone
[12:40] <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?
[12:40] <gostview> found the bot: it's 500@ekiga.net
[12:40] <Kyral> Remember the old programming adage. "Make it work, then make it work quickly"
[12:40] <Jenkens> ok... i'll ask once more for good measure incase it got blown by and then i'll come back later perhaps if nobody answers :)
[12:40] <Zane4111> to be perfectly honest im only installing it in the blind hope that it would maybe recognize my monitors resolutions better then the ati drivers in xorg
[12:40] <Jenkens> hi! is there anything that can tell me what the default start/stop levels of a service I removed via update-rc.d were? rather than dropping them in at 'default (20)'
[12:40] <aunes> re:xgl -- I like the wobbly windows, but the rest of it isn't my cup of tea.
[12:40] <Kyral> Zane4111: It won't
[12:41] <concept10> Zane4111, what type of card do you have
[12:41] <Warbo> Zane4111: XGL uses the same drivers as Xorg
[12:41] <Zane4111> lovley
[12:41] <Zane4111> any particular way to actually...fix that
[12:41] <Kyral> Your fault for using Ati ;P
[12:41] <omglazers> Kyral, aunes: I've got OSX on my powerbook and I want to put linux on.. ubuntu probably, and I'm trying to figure out how to divide up my partitions. I want to have one with my mp3s on it possibly so both itunes and nux can read them and play them so i'm not stuck using OSX for itunes... what kind of format can I put the 3rd non-system partition as so I can do that?
[12:41] <fowlduck> Zane4111, are you following a howto?  there are many out there that will hold your hand like crazy
[12:41] <Warbo> Zane4111: What model is your card
[12:41] <Zane4111> you know, give it a proper refresh rate?
[12:41] <Resnikus> hey
[12:41] <Zane4111> radeon 9550
[12:41] <ciaron> the only thing in XGL thats actually productive is the expose clone, the rest is just eye candy
[12:41] <HackerX> Ok here the deal i used ndiswrapper to install my wireless card kaot helped me but its not in my connection list so how do i find it does anyone know?
[12:41] <Warbo> Zane4111: Ok, don't mind me
[12:41] <ciaron> its good as a tech showcase, nothing more
[12:41] <concept10> Zane4111, what was your default driver with clean install?
[12:41] <Kyral> omglazers: I THINK FAT32
[12:42] <aunes> omglazers: I have an NTFS partition (I'm a windows convert) with all of my mp3s on it and it works fine.
[12:42] <Zaire> !repositories
[12:42] <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
[12:42] <sys8976> !pastebin
[12:42] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[12:42] <Zane4111> its a down clocked 9600 with less pipelines
[12:42] <Kyral> I don't know much about what OSX can read
[12:42] <Zaire> !easysource
[12:42] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[12:42] <aunes> omglazers: I'm not familiar with the filesystems that macs can work with.
[12:42] <Zane4111> default driver was ati, but didnt have 3d support
[12:42] <concept10> Zane4111, I said default driver
[12:42] <omglazers> Kyral: Fat32 I figured but thats rather poor
[12:42] <Zane4111> ati
[12:42] <HackerX> anyone?\
[12:42] <Zane4111> the new driver is fireglx or something
[12:42] <aunes> omglazers: give me a sec and I'll look into it.
[12:42] <Kyral> NVidia FTW
[12:42] <concept10> Zane4111, dont install fglrx, unless you need it.
[12:42] <Warbo> fglrx
[12:43] <sys8976> can anyone look at this pastebin and tell me why I get the errors at the end of most installs? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17287
[12:43] <concept10> Zane4111, I have it working on stock ati drivers
[12:43] <Zane4111> 3d?
[12:43] <hedonistic>  I have a Dell E1505 laptop with a BCM4311 wireless card - I downloaded a version of ndiswrapper that was not available through synaptic and my wi-fi led light is now on and wlan0 is active, but I cannot connect to my network...I have tried various recommendations from forums and have talked to a number of experienced linux users via qunu/irc and am still unable to connect - if you think you can help, I would appreciate the attempt.
[12:43] <K^Holtz> Anyone good with install issues?
[12:43] <Zane4111> no tweaking?
[12:43] <Zane4111> im not talking gl, im talking 3d acceleration
[12:43] <Warbo> ati driver works fine for me, radeon driver gives good 3D on my 9200 whilst fglrx gives errors for anything using 3D or framebuffer
[12:44] <HackerX> Hedonistic, i also have a dell but it has bcm4318 im trying to get it working with ndiswrapper also
[12:44] <Zane4111> so i should go back and change it to radeon?
[12:44] <Zane4111> or ati..
[12:44] <Warbo> Zane4111: ATI and Radeon will give 2D on your card I think
[12:44] <Kyral> You should get an NVidia card :P
[12:44] <HackerX> heh my helper left :-(
[12:45] <Zane4111> okay, no nonsense answers, whats going to properly give me 3d on this card with the resolutions is supposed to have
[12:45] <concept10> Zane4111, I tried on and off for weeks to get it running.  This morning I removed the drivers (fglrx) and made sure I had "ati" and everything worked
[12:45] <owlmanatt> Hey, I'm trying to set up a dual-head using Xinerama and my nVidia card with two outputs on it, but I'm having trouble...does anyone have example Xorg configs I can look at? None of the ones I find seem to be for two outputs on the same card, just two cards.
[12:45] <xlinuxted> how do I add a channel listed as Webnet port: 6667 room:  ?
[12:45] <aunes> omglazers: You should be able to use the default HFS (mac's default, I believe) if your kernel is newer than 2.1.x
[12:45] <HackerX> looking for a new one but thats not going so well
[12:45] <Zane4111> or is there any way to fix the flgrx
[12:45] <aunes> omglazers: You'll just need to enable the HFS Kernel module
[12:45] <concept10> Zane4111, but you are on the right track.  Once you are on default drivers, the problem is to get direct rendering working
[12:45] <Kyral> okay I'm treading into the darkside, no more helping from me....before the BOFH comes out
[12:46] <omglazers> aunes: Would that be the newest ubuntu?
[12:46] <Jack_Sparrow> 6.06
[12:46] <aunes> omglazers: I believe so, yes.
[12:46] <farva> quick question, does the ubuntu installer have any tool help resize already made partitions?
[12:46] <aunes> Jack_Sparrow: he's asking about the newest kernel version
[12:46] <levandanna> hmm
[12:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry
[12:46] <HackerX> Can someone please help me with ndiswrapper i have the drivers installed but i cant find my card
[12:46] <levandanna> i recently installed compiz and there's no apps->compiz folder
[12:46] <levandanna> in gconf
[12:46] <krang> Anyone: If I'm using NIS on a central server for authentication, will /etc/profile still run when a user logs in using gdm on a client machine?
[12:47] <levandanna> anyone here use compiz?
[12:47] <HackerX> ugh
[12:48] <zambaroo> hey guys, i have a remote server that runs rhel. i have ssh access to it. the .iso sits on one of the partitions. any way to install ubuntu on top of rhel without leaving the office?
[12:48] <jughead> I do not
[12:48] <HackerX> anyone please
[12:48] <zambaroo> (rhel-2.1)
[12:49] <HackerX> wow what happened to the help in this channel it was great at first
[12:49] <aunes> HackerX: just because people aren't well versed in your particular problem doesn't mean it isn't helpful
[12:49] <Jack_Sparrow> HackerX: I personally get tired of supporting broadcom products
[12:49] <bbrazil> zambaroo: there's debtakeover, but it's very dangerous and experimental
[12:50] <aunes> HackerX: that statement borders on trolling.
[12:50] <K^Holtz> OK, i had this same problem with the previous ubuntu version... i put in the cd, click start or install ubuntu, and i get an error... it says something about PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6... crc error ... Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0). Can anyone help me out with this please? I'd really like to get on ubuntu
[12:50] <nornagon> Hi all. I'm having a little trouble with a hoary->dapper upgrade. When I boot, I get "Waiting for root filesystem...", which waits for a while, then drops me back to a shell saying "ALERT! /dev/hda2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!"
[12:50] <zambaroo> bbrazil, have you tried it?
[12:50] <nornagon> but grub manages to read that partition fine
[12:50] <bbrazil> zambaroo: don't have any non-debian boxes :)
[12:50] <HackerX> well i understand that but i already have the drivers installed i just need help finding the device
[12:50] <sys8976> can anyone look at this pastebin and tell me why I get the errors at the end of most installs? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17287
[12:50] <Jack_Sparrow> K^Holtz: Whay type of hardware are you running
[12:51] <bbrazil> zambaroo: if you have a spare partition you should be able to install there, setup grub and then reboot
[12:51] <HackerX> *sigh* i want kaot to come back
[12:51] <HackerX> he helped me
[12:51] <bbrazil> zambaroo: this is one of those things you want backups and physical access for
[12:51] <zambaroo> bbrazil, how adventurous :)
[12:51] <zambaroo> bbrazil, well i'll give it a go, if it doesnt work, i have to be there tmrw anyway :)
[12:51] <zambaroo> thanks
[12:52] <K^Holtz> Jack_Sparrow: 900 MHz AMD processor, nvidia TNT2 graphics card,  384Mb Ram, its a Compaq...

[12:52] <w^x> Death to Myspace.com!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[12:53] <sys8976> lol
[12:53] <w^x> sorry just had to vent
[12:53] <HackerX> can anyone please help me with ndiswrapper???
[12:53] <w^x> I hate it!!!!!!
[12:53] <sys8976> w that is why I use opera and the my.opera.com lol
[12:54] <concept10> Zane4111, bhttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17289 look at bottom
[12:54] <Jack_Sparrow> K^Holtz: can I assume you had the CD check itself
[12:54] <HackerX> A n y o n e at all?
[12:54] <Hexidigital_> !patience
[12:54] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[12:54] <Jack_Sparrow> sys8976: those errors just say you have the latest version.
[12:55] <HackerX> i know i was nice at first but this whole deal is annoying me
[12:55] <sys8976> Jack_Sparrow: down at the bottom where it says Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[12:55] <K^Holtz> Jack_Sparrow: well right now im running the Memory test, its 57% complete, but i didnt bother running the cd check yet because this happened with the previous version of ubuntu also, i got my CDs from shipit and i tried all 5 CDs last time and still got a similar error
[12:55] <sys8976> Errors were encountered while processing:

[12:56] <Jack_Sparrow> sys8976: It could not find packages that were not downloaded
[12:56] <Jack_Sparrow> I see it too
[12:57] <HackerX> ***Can someone help me with ndiswrapper?***
[12:57] <K^Holtz> Jack_Sparrow: i will after this memory check, but assuming the CD check comes out OK? then what could it be?
[12:57] <Jim_the_Coder> what do u need?
[12:57] <sys8976> Jack_Sparrow: ok I have had that happen on a few installs so thought it was something else thats why I wanted to check
[12:57] <kaot> HackerX: how'd that work out?
[12:57] <HackerX> kaot: sweet yer back
[12:57] <Jack_Sparrow> K^Holtz:  Odd question but do you have usb2.0 installed?
[12:57] <Jim_the_Coder> hackerx, what prob u having with ndiswrapper?
[12:57] <Jack_Sparrow> enabled in bios
[12:57] <sys8976> concept10: no redhat here lol
[12:57] <concept10> sys8976, i know
[12:58] <sys8976> concept10: hehe
[12:58] <K^Holtz> Jack_Sparrow: im pretty sure this PC im trying to install it on does not have 2.0 because of its age
[12:58] <Dial_tone> my nfs drives are mounting like 10-15 min after bootup for some reason
[12:58] <concept10> HackerX, what card
[12:58] <HackerX> kaot: ok heres the deal the device just isnt showing up im my connections
[12:58] <HackerX> BCM4318
[12:58] <kaot> concept10: broadcom 4318
[12:58] <HackerX> lool
[12:58] <Jack_Sparrow> K^Holtz: Just wanted to know for my own info
[12:58] <HackerX> yea
[12:58] <HackerX> ok
[12:58] <kaot> HackerX: do you have a light on your laptop that tells you when it's active?
[12:59] <concept10> HackerX, did you try the bcm43xx drivers
[12:59] <K^Holtz> Jack_Sparrow: :) alright
[12:59] <nornagon> Hi all. I'm having a little trouble with a hoary->dapper upgrade. When I boot, I get "Waiting for root filesystem...", which waits for a while, then drops me back to a shell saying "ALERT! /dev/hda2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!"
[12:59] <kaot> concept10: I've got a 4318 and bcm43xx didn't work for me at all.  tried bcm-fwcutter with a bunch of different bcmwl5.sys files, no go
[12:59] <nornagon> but grub manages to read that partition fine, it seems. :/
[12:59] <HackerX> those came with it and installed but i couldnt connect and i read on the site i need ndiswrapper for this card
[12:59] <HackerX> kaot: yes i have a light
[12:59] <Hexidigital_> nornagon:: afaik, you cannot upgrade from hoary to dapper
[01:00] <HackerX> kaot: its off
[01:00] <nornagon> ah
[01:00] <nornagon> interesting :P
[01:00] <concept10> kaot, did you extract them to /lib/firmware?
[01:00] <kaot> HackerX: yay.  sudo lsmod | grep ndiswrapper, see if it's in there.
[01:00] <Hexidigital_> nornagon:: i believe the ubuntu website has the available upgrade paths
[01:00] <cyphase> any chance we might get a suse-type gnome menu?
[01:00] <kaot> concept10: /lib/firmware and /lib/firmware/$(kernelversion)
[01:00] <cyphase> in edgy
[01:00] <nornagon> synaptic told me to look at ubuntulinux.org for upgrade instructions, but I couldn't find them.
[01:00] <Hexidigital_> !edgy
[01:00] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For its release schedule, see !schedule
[01:00] <nornagon> so how do I fix it?
[01:01] <concept10> kaot, did you reload the driver after that?
[01:01] <sys8976> !schedule
[01:01] <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. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[01:01] <kaot> concept10: yep
[01:01] <kaot> concept10: i think i've just got a funky card somehow.  no two bits of information agreed on which driver i should be using.  i got it working with ndiswrapper, i'm not screwing around with it anymore
[01:01] <kaot> done!  had it!  up to here!
[01:01] <jdav> Hey, Can anyone help mith samba?
[01:01] <kaot> hehe
[01:01] <HackerX> kaot: yes its in there 177364 0
[01:01] <LjL> nornagon: you should upgrade from hoary to *breezy*, and only then to dapper - (and hope)
[01:02] <concept10> kaot, ndiswrapper is about the same as far as install goes, the wiki page explains it good
[01:02] <nornagon> LjL: I've already done the upgrade.
[01:02] <LjL> nornagon: to breezy or to dapper?
[01:02] <nornagon> to dapper.
[01:02] <LjL> nornagon: and now i suppose everything's quite broken, correct?
[01:02] <jdav> I need help! I've installed Samba and smbfs, I added my username under ubuntu to it along with my password, I can login in to it from windows under my netowork, but how to I map it so when I go to \\server it goes to the /var/www/torrent/downloads under linux?
[01:02] <kaot> concept10: right except for the bit about mucking around with fwcutter and the fact that bcm43xx is a native driver versus ndiswrapper + bcmwl5.inf and well, they're not the same
[01:02] <nornagon> correct.
[01:02] <kaot> hehe
[01:03] <nornagon> surely there is a way to remedy this.
[01:03] <HackerX> kaot: what else should i check?
[01:03] <LjL> nornagon: perhaps someone has better advice, who knows, but my own advice is: reinstall. messing up ubuntu that way doesn't lead to easy recovering
[01:03] <concept10> kaot, im talking about the ndiswrapper wiki
[01:03] <nornagon> :(
[01:03] <sys8976> !clvm
[01:03] <ubotu> I know nothing about clvm
[01:04] <Jack_Sparrow> !broadcom
[01:04] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:04] <kaot> HackerX: at this point you probably just need to find the right .inf file.
[01:04] <sys8976> !dpkg
[01:04] <nornagon> can I just reinstall straight over the old ubuntu? Will d-i ask me to overwrite stuff?
[01:04] <ubotu> dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.
[01:04] <jdav> so can anyone help me?
[01:04] <concept10> kaot, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[01:04] <gnomefreak> sys8976: dont play with the bot
[01:04] <La_PaRCa> Any idea why f-spot wont show some of the photos in a directory after I import it?
[01:04] <kaot> concept10: mine works, tell HackerX
[01:04] <LjL> nornagon: i wouldn't do that. i'd rather save your /home directory somewhere else (many people keep /home in a separate partition by the way), as well as your /etc, and install from a fresh partition
[01:04] <concept10> HackerX, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[01:04] <HackerX> kaot: so you think everything is right so i just have to keep adding and remove inf's until i get it
[01:05] <sys8976> gnomefreak: I am not I am trying to resolve something i have going on and those two words I wasnt for sure what they were and how I could effect them so I asked
[01:05] <HackerX> ok
[01:05] <gnomefreak> sys8976: use /msg ubotu <word>
[01:05] <Anony> The aircrack-ng repository seems to have been moved, but I figured out I could fix it http://anony.cjb.net/forum/index.php/topic,22.0.html
[01:05] <sys8976> gnomefreak: ahh very good thanks
[01:05] <kaot> HackerX: I think everytime you switch .inf's it rewrites those config files in /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5 so you have to run that command to change the radiostate settings
[01:05] <nornagon> LjL: :(
[01:05] <Anony> Will this cause any sort of problem being a debian package rather than an ubuntu specific package?
[01:05] <valehru> Hey guys...Im just after noticing something.  Is it possible to have two applications use the sound card at the same time?  currently I cannot receive any calls on skype if I am playing music on my box.  I keep getting the error: /dev/dsp-1: Device or resource busy.  Any suggestions?  The same happens when I try and watch a you tube video with some music in the background.
[01:06] <HackerX> ok can you pm me that again?
[01:06] <jgoebel> rpm command seems to be broken in 6.0.6: I get -> rpmdb: unable to initialize mutex: Function not implemented
[01:06] <dli> valehru, yes, use esd sound daemon
[01:06] <jgoebel> rpm and apt-get don't have conflicting links to a db3 or db4 version...
[01:06] <concept10> valehru, why would you want to do all of that. you only have two ears to listen at one time. oh wait...
[01:07] <LjL> nornagon: it's not necessarily as bad as it sounds. your desktop settings are mostly in your /home directory, so you'll get them back when you restore it. and if you like you can also use "dpkg --get-selections" to list the package that you have installed, so you know what to reinstall, if you've installed a lot of programs
[01:07] <valehru> dli, esd is already running in the background...
[01:08] <HackerX> kaot: when i do a lspci theres alot of them how do i know what one is my wireless card?
[01:08] <dli> valehru, then, tell your applications to use esd (rather than /dev/dsp)
[01:08] <mateX> i need a bit of help for pptp client?
[01:08] <mateX> anyone know?
[01:09] <kaot> HackerX: one of those lines should say "dell broadcom blah blah" in your case
[01:09] <nornagon> LjL: yeah, I know. It's just a hassle.
[01:09] <nornagon> good thing I have a 200G external hdd to back stuff up to...
[01:09] <dli> HackerX, lspci|grep -i net
[01:09] <Jack_Sparrow> LjL How would I pipe my get-selections list to a file or the printer ?
[01:10] <nornagon> Jack_Sparrow: dpkg --get-selections > out.txt
[01:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Thanks
[01:10] <mateX> how can i run a program as root
[01:10] <HackerX> ah
[01:10] <HackerX> ok
[01:10] <LjL> Jack_Sparrow: right. and "dpkg --set-selections <out.txt" to restore a configuration
[01:10] <Krhis> mateX, sudo
[01:10] <sys8976> mateX: sudo
[01:11] <LjL> !tell matex about sudo
[01:11] <Krhis> :P
[01:11] <mateX> ok thanks
[01:11] <Krhis> np
[01:11] <sys8976> Krhis: hehe
[01:11] <valehru> dli, hmm skype can only use /dev/dsp won't allow me to change it
[01:11] <mateX> btw
[01:11] <HackerX> kaot: hmm says to use the R94826
[01:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Ljl and nornagon thank yo both..
[01:11] <kaot> heh
[01:11] <HackerX> kaot: that what i get under the id i put it
[01:12] <HackerX> kaot: but it says its for a BCM4306
[01:12] <HackerX> hmm
[01:12] <HackerX> maybe it will work ill try
[01:13] <kaot> HackerX: mm hmmm.  That's why I said finding the right drivers seems to be guesswork.  if you google your chipset ID, you'll probably find 5 different answers for which files you should use.
[01:13] <HackerX> Kaot: thats the only problem with linux and broadcom seems to be the worst from what i have read
[01:14] <sponix> anyone know why bind9 hangs my system on shutdown/reboot processes (doesn't kill properly I take it) ?
[01:14] <TStodden> Excuse me, but could some assist me with a question?
[01:14] <neighborlee> can't install VLC, due to some dbus error and wondering if anyone has seen this and knows a workaround ? ;))
[01:14] <psx1337> I have Breezy Badger on my laptop and it seems it didn't come with any video codecs. I can play mp3s in XMMS (which i installed myself).. but as far as totem goes, with any Mpg video or even an mp3 it says it can't find the codec
[01:14] <psx1337> any help?
[01:15] <nornagon> !mp3
[01:15] <kaot> HackerX: yep.  bad bad wireless adapter to have.
[01:15] <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
[01:15] <TStodden> Could somebody point me to some instructions on installing tarballs?
[01:15] <HackerX> kaot: if it comes down to it ill just go buy one i really dont want to but i may have to
[01:16] <sponix> bind9 hangs my shutdown/reboot, anyone seen that ? ... The script for its shutdown/reboot just hits a standstill
[01:16] <HackerX> kaot: ok if i change the inf is there anything else i have to do besides running that code
[01:16] <psx1337> If anyone's interested the Linksys WUSB54G v2 is great with Ubuntu under ndiswrapper
[01:17] <kaot> HackerX: yes I almost did that myself and then lucked onto a fix.
[01:17] <HackerX> yea
[01:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !tar
[01:17] <ubotu> Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (gnome) or ark (kde)
[01:17] <kaot> HackerX: well you know you have to ndiswrapper -e driver then ndiswrapper -i newdriver.  i rebooted between changes as well
[01:17] <HackerX> yep
[01:18] <kaot> and that's basically all I did until i found a working driver
[01:18] <HackerX> Kaot: ok thank you soo much for all of your help
[01:18] <kaot> HackerX: hang on one sec
[01:18] <kulli> Tell me one thing... sody because so lego... i cant understant that there isnt firewall automaticly  when install ubuntu,xubuntu
[01:18] <HackerX> kaot: ok
[01:19] <Jack_Sparrow> kulli: Firewall is in the kernel
[01:19] <charle97> kulli, iptables
[01:19] <jrib> kulli: ubuntu has no services listening on any ports so there really isn't any reason for firewall rules on a default install
[01:19] <Jack_Sparrow> You can add a firewall management tool like firestarter or guarddog
[01:20] <kaot> HackerX: trying to find the link for the drivers that worked for my card
[01:20] <HackerX> kaot: oh ok thanks
[01:20] <sponix> Jack_Sparrow:  whats guarddog like ?
[01:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Unlike Windows that leaves everything open with a default install :)
[01:21] <Jack_Sparrow> I like firestarter
[01:22] <TStodden> Excuse me, but could someone point me to directions on installing Tarballs in Ubuntu?
[01:22] <kaot> HackerX: try this one:  http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=422082
[01:23] <kaot> HackerX: might not work but i'm pretty sure that's the one that did it for me
[01:23] <HackerX> kaot: alright thanks ill let you know what happens
[01:23] <bimberi> !compiling
[01:23] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for a pre-built package first!)
[01:23] <Jack_Sparrow> TStodden: I did after you asked the first time
[01:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !tar
[01:23] <ubotu> Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (gnome) or ark (kde)
[01:24] <HackerX> kaot: oh what card did you say you have?
[01:24] <kulli> Jack_Sparrow....i know it..... but i mean if you try to chaleng microsoft(iam sorry my english)
[01:25] <kaot> HackerX: broadcom 4318 rev 2 chipset, actual card is a belkin F5D7011.
[01:28] <TStodden> Sorry I didn't catch you the first time Jack...  I'm pretty new to Ubuntu.
[01:28] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[01:29] <Jack_Sparrow> TStodden: Since you are new, do you know about synaptic, apt-get etc
[01:29] <Jack_Sparrow> TStodden: 90% of what most users need can be done automatically
[01:30] <TStodden> I'm somewhat familiar with synaptic, but the computer I have Ubuntu installed is offline...  so I'm forced to take the manual route most of the time.
[01:30] <h4v0k> can someone help me i need a little help with quickcam
[01:30] <Jack_Sparrow> TStodden: This is not Windows...  :)
[01:30] <on2see> Hi
[01:30] <TStodden> ...as I'm obviously finding out here.
[01:31] <apokryphos> hello
[01:31] <Jack_Sparrow> TStodden: You can download the deb's and burn them to a cd if you really want to do it offline
[01:31] <h4v0k> how do i get the kgcc program
[01:31] <Jack_Sparrow> TStodden:  point synaptic at the cd
[01:31] <h4v0k> and the kernel source
[01:31] <Jack_Sparrow> not that simple but .. you get the idea
[01:31] <apokryphos> apt-zip is good for such things
[01:32] <devhen> havoc: apt-get install kernel-source i think
[01:32] <h4v0k> kk
[01:32] <TStodden> OK...  Does the same go for Tarballs, or do i have to turn them into deb files as well?
[01:32] <bill[1] > are there any newer gcc packages for dapper?
[01:32] <dstyrk> Jack_Sparrow: Don't know if you remember talking with me.. But I finally got Ubuntu up and running..
[01:32] <h4v0k> E: Invalid operation kernel-source
[01:32] <devhen> bill, why do you need 'newer' pkgs?
[01:33] <dli> h4v0k, sudo apt-get install linux-source
[01:33] <h4v0k> oops
[01:33] <h4v0k> lol
[01:33] <Jack_Sparrow> dstyrk: Yea, glad to hear it
[01:33] <bill[1] > because I'm getting absolutely bizzare asm generated on a peice of code I'm working on (AKA a 64 bit copy is generating 32 bit code), and I'm out of ideas besides compiler issues.
[01:33] <devhen> yeah, linux-source instead of kernel-source sry forgot ubuntu was diff
[01:33] <Jesse> I want to resize my ntfs partition so i can install ubuntu i have downloaded gparted iso and was wondering if it is safe enough to use with out backing up my ntfs partition since im low on dvd's
[01:33] <dstyrk> Jack_Sparrow:  It only took me about 10 days.. lol..
[01:34] <h4v0k> im tryin to get my webcam to work but its a mother
[01:34] <h4v0k> :-(
[01:34] <dli> Jesse, better to backup first, it's safe to most, but since ntfs is not open, anything can happen
[01:34] <ljlolel> Jesse: never safe enough
[01:34] <ljlolel> Jesse: even just going on the internet, a backup is important
[01:34] <ljlolel> not that I follow my own advice ;-)
[01:34] <Jesse> heh
[01:34] <bill[1] > I've killed ntfs partitions resizing before.  Definately backup.
[01:34] <h4v0k> You have only kernel headers but they are not configured
[01:34] <h4v0k> properly.
[01:35] <h4v0k> how can i fix this
[01:35] <HackerX> kaot: so should i be getting drivers for that?
[01:35] <Jesse> well ill wait then till i buy some more dvds
[01:35] <kaot> HackerX: yeah try those next
[01:35] <HackerX> ok im going to try thes first
[01:37] <dli> h4v0k, what are you trying to do?
[01:37] <DarkProphet> hi, anyone know how I can set a path variable for all users ?
[01:37] <h4v0k> get my webcam to work on linux
[01:37] <DarkProphet> well, at the moment, im opening an application, and its not picking up my JAVA_HOME variable, unless I run it from the cmd line, ive defined JAVA_HOME in ~/.bashrc
[01:38] <h4v0k> dli, tryin to get my webcam to work
[01:38] <devhen> DarkProphet: put it in /etc/bashrc
[01:38] <dli> h4v0k, is it supported by kernel natively?
[01:38] <ReleaseX> is there a specific channel for help installing ubuntu on mac hardware
[01:38] <bimberi> DarkProphet: editing /etc/environment should do it.  I haven't tested it though
[01:38] <Tommy2k4> my sendmail is broke
[01:38] <h4v0k> dli, how do i check what kernel i have
[01:38] <dli> h4v0k, uname -a
[01:38] <Tommy2k4> if i use mail() in a php page it takes 1min before the page eventually loads and the mail sends
[01:38] <devhen> bimberi may be right. its /etc/bashrc on most systems but try /etc/environment as well id say
[01:38] <Tommy2k4> and when starting the sendmail daemon on boot up it froze for like 5mins
[01:39] <devhen> havoc: uname -r shows you just your kernel version ;)
[01:39] <on2see> Hey, I have this "Direcway" internet which has a 24-hour download cap of 500 meg. Therefore I cannot download Dapper... Any help?
[01:39] <dli> Tommy2k4, no network?
[01:39] <Tommy2k4> im connected tho
[01:39] <h4v0k> dli, my kernel is version 2.6 and the webcam needs 2.4
[01:40] <dli> h4v0k, which webcam?
[01:40] <devhen> on2see: https://shipit.ubuntu.com/
[01:40] <on2see> I already requested it, but that is too long...
[01:40] <devhen> yeah
[01:41] <Jack_Sparrow> on2see: Starnet is the same as directway and does not have the cap, which they avoid telling you until after you sign..
[01:41] <h4v0k> dli, logitech quickcam
[01:41] <devhen> use a d/l manager and pause/resume 500 a day?
[01:41] <dli> h4v0k, I think quickcam is supported natively
[01:41] <on2see> Uh...
[01:41] <ReleaseX> i'm attempting to boot into the live cd on a mac.  it seems to start working then the screen blanks and all i get is a white bar across the bottom
[01:41] <on2see> How well does zipping up an ISO work?
[01:42] <devhen> probably won't compress it much
[01:42] <on2see> ReleaseX: Is it an Intel Mac?
[01:42] <Yuffster> Does the newest version of Ubuntu have support for the Nvida 420 or wireless Linksys adapters (like WUS11)?
[01:42] <ReleaseX> on2see, no
[01:42] <kulli> Jack_Sparrow... i know it..i have firestarter... but iam land of Linux and  i have fell that  if it  linux "with out automatic" firewall good or not
[01:42] <DarkProphet> neither worked
[01:42] <dstyrk> ReleaseX:   I just had the similar problem..
[01:42] <picket> !firestarter
[01:42] <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)
[01:42] <DarkProphet> i dont want to run it from the cmdline...cause that just sorta sux
[01:42] <ReleaseX> dstyrk, did you figure out a fix?  I am having no luck searching for a solution
[01:43] <dli> h4v0k, sudo modprobe quickcam_messenger
[01:43] <Jack_Sparrow> kulli: No firewall manager is needed unless you need to tweak if for a particular app
[01:43] <h4v0k> dli, ok let me try
[01:44] <elhaxxorz> printing problems!
[01:44] <dstyrk> ReleaseX:  Yeah, I grabbed the alternate install CD... And then installed the desktop from the net, which someone else in here will have to help you with, because I am pretty new to linux and I don't remember the command they gave me.
[01:45] <Mitrovarr> hi guys, I have the strangest problem; when I boot up, my usb wireless adapter starts down and without an IP, but I can manually dhclient it at which point it works fine (until reboot/poweroff)
[01:45] <ReleaseX> dstyrk, alright, thanks, that was going to be my next step if no one had answers
[01:45] <dstyrk> It was something like get-desktop-app or something thing.. Can someone help me out?
[01:45] <Yuffster> What adapter do you have?
[01:45] <Mitrovarr> Belkin 7050
[01:45] <Yuffster> Oh, I have no idea.
[01:45] <devhen> what are you trying to do dstyrk?
[01:45] <Micksa> why are there 2 bounties for changing ubuntu's slogan?
[01:45] <dli> h4v0k, any problem, install qc-usb-source qc-usb-utils
[01:45] <Mitrovarr> it uses ndiswrappered drivers.  It used to work fine, but somehow I broke it when redoing ndiswrapper for the new kernel
[01:46] <Micksa> why do people have a problem with "linux for human beings"?
[01:46] <Mitrovarr> for some reason rt2500 linux drivers don't work (even though it's the chip it uses)
[01:46] <dstyrk> devhen:  installing the desktop from the net
[01:46] <elhaxxorz> i need someone to help me set up my printer...nothing comes out and i think that i have installed everything right (converted the lexmark rpm with alien)
[01:46] <Micksa> maybe these hardcore geeks are getting offended at the implication that linux previously was only for, um, something else
[01:46] <dstyrk> ReleaseX:  What mac are you on?
[01:46] <DarkProphet> no one has any idea then ?
[01:46] <Yuffster> Can someone please answer one quick question?  How do I access my USB drive from the command line in Ubuntu?
[01:46] <Mitrovarr> Micksa:  I don't know, it seems fine to me; I don't like  the names of the versions, or a lot of free software names, but I've never disliked the slogan
[01:47] <dli> Mitrovarr, rt2500 should work out of box
[01:47] <Yuffster> I have the Nvidia driver on there, but I can't access the GUI until I install it.
[01:47] <jrib> DarkProphet: /etc/login.defs
[01:47] <ReleaseX> dstyrk: its an older g3 500mhz
[01:47] <Micksa> Mitrovarr: use version numbers then ;)
[01:47] <DarkProphet> so it isn't /etc/profile ?
[01:47] <Micksa> much snappier
[01:47] <jrib> DarkProphet: only for login shells
[01:47] <kulli> Jakc_Sparrow....But .....i have try to explane many people that change to Ubuntu...but if its difficult for me.-...its very hard...of course now is v6.06...but anyway
[01:47] <ReleaseX> dstyrk: m5183 i think is the model
[01:48] <Mitrovarr> dli:  It doesn't here.  I don't know if that's because it's set to use ndiswrapper (which I've been using since before the rt2500 drivers existed) or just a peculierity to the specific usb device
[01:48] <Ackeubu_> Hey how do I make a dvd that works for a dvd player?
[01:48] <Mitrovarr> dli:  I know a fast and easy way to check.  I'll be right back
[01:48] <elhaxxorz> did i ask the wrong way or im in the wrong place?
[01:48] <Mitrovarr> dli:  nevermind, if I pull the adapter I'll go offline here (I was gonna try it in another machine)
[01:48] <jrib> !printing > elhaxxorz
[01:49] <on2see> elhaxxorz: you're in the right place
[01:49] <dstyrk> ReleaseX:  Ah.. yeah I'm on the older G3 iMac.. 500mhz I think as well...... Yeah it took me a few days to figure it out.
[01:49] <Ackeubu_> What dvd menu creators is there for ubuntu?
[01:49] <Jack_Smirnoff> Zipped the 6.06 cd is still 680 meg
[01:49] <on2see> Crap
[01:49] <Jack_Smirnoff> trying rar now
[01:50] <on2see> ok
[01:50] <Mitrovarr> anyways, is there some simple way to make it dhcp automatically?  I know I can do it the 'wrong' ways (i.e. putting it manually at the end of the init.d stuff or in the gnome startup) but that doesn't seem like the best idea.
[01:50] <elhaxxorz> Jack_Smirnoff, shame you cant use squashfs
[01:50] <Jack_Smirnoff> MAximum compression will take another 12 minutes
[01:50] <devhen> Jack_Smirnoff: you wont have more luck. 7z compresses slightly better but it'll still be very close to the original size
[01:51] <elhaxxorz> gentoo uses squashfs, that does amazing things to file size
[01:51] <Jack_Smirnoff> I knew it was already compressed on the cd, just wanted to know if we could squeeze it down for him
[01:51] <devhen> how small do you need it?
[01:51] <on2see> under 500 meg
[01:51] <dstyrk> Less than 500 right?
[01:51] <Jack_Smirnoff> on2 needs under 500
[01:51] <on2see> yeah
[01:51] <on2see> thanks for the help
[01:51] <Jack_Smirnoff> SOmeone (else) could split it for him
[01:51] <on2see> I'm still on Hoary :(
[01:51] <Tommy2k4> i think i fixed my sendmail problem
[01:51] <dstyrk> How about the server install.. Then next day install off the net?
[01:52] <devhen> i think the server ISO is smaller, no?
[01:52] <on2see> Yeah
[01:52] <on2see> 400-something meg
[01:52] <Mitrovarr> ok, well, I'll just set my card up the 'wrong' way and see if it works
[01:52] <Mitrovarr> using rc.local
[01:52] <Mitrovarr> thanks for the help!  I know it's a wierd problem
[01:53] <Yuffster> I was wondering if someone with a good Ubuntu knowledge-base could just chat with me for a few minutes?
[01:53] <Yuffster> I'm trying to kick the Windows habit, and I'd REALLY appreciate it.
[01:54] <on2see> So am I
[01:54] <on2see> I hope you already kicked the IE habit
[01:54] <apokryphos> Yuffster, on2see: fire away
[01:54] <Yuffster> Of course.
[01:54] <Yuffster> Oh, thanks.
[01:54] <on2see> lol
[01:54] <kulli> Jack_Sparrow ...could you help  me.... i was stupid that i told my gilrlfriend that xubuntu is very good her notebook...i own you drink....and now icant get firestrater in it
[01:54] <Yuffster> I installed the old version... from last year.
[01:54] <Yuffster> Hoary, I think.
[01:55] <redguy> Yuffster, you might get two in the prico of one ;-)
[01:55] <Yuffster> But then I downloaded the new version because the old version doesn't work out of the box with my Nvidia.
[01:55] <Yuffster> But when I pop in the new disk...
[01:55] <Jack_Smirnoff> kulli: You really dont need it..
[01:55] <Yuffster> It just boots up the old installation.
[01:55] <on2see> Man, I went to OS-Dir and saw Dapper screenshots, it looked awesome
[01:55] <Yuffster> Even though I check the first option.
[01:55] <apokryphos> Yuffster: hm, they should all work out of the box, but none will come with the nvidia *driver* out of the box (they'll be using another one, vesa or nv probably)
[01:55] <Jack_Smirnoff> You can set what you need from commandline / iptables...
[01:55] <Jack_Smirnoff> She dosent need a gui firewall manager
[01:56] <Yuffster> Yeah, and another problem is that my wireless adapter is USB.
[01:56] <Yuffster> So I can't connect to the 'net.
[01:56] <apokryphos> Yuffster: you won't be able to upgrade directly from hoary to dapper, since you'd be skipping out a version (breezy), which is explicitly not supported.
[01:56] <Yuffster> But I DO have both drivers (I think) on a USB stick.
[01:56] <Yuffster> Can I uninstall Hoary?
[01:56] <apokryphos> Yuffster: sure, just install dapper over it.
[01:56] <Yuffster> Yeah, I've been trying to.
[01:56] <apokryphos> Yuffster: you don't need the browsers on any disk, they're available in the repositories :)
[01:56] <Jack_Smirnoff> Better to install fresh anyhow
[01:56] <kulli> Of course its not wired.....!
[01:57] <Yuffster> Yeah, I don't know how to use the repositories, either.
[01:57] <Ropechoborra> Yuffster: did u use the live cd and dobble click on install ? :)
[01:57] <on2see> Anyone still working on my issue, by the way...?
[01:57] <apokryphos> Yuffster: not a problem, it's very easy to get going :)
[01:57] <Yuffster> I burned the one for download.
[01:57] <Jack_Smirnoff> yes
[01:57] <Jack_Smirnoff> still compressing
[01:57] <Yuffster> (And thanks a ton, guys!)
[01:57] <apokryphos> Yuffster: the Desktop CD?
[01:57] <Yuffster> Yeah.
[01:57] <on2see> ' '
[01:58] <Yuffster> And I select the first option, sorry I can't remember what it says.
[01:58] <apokryphos> Yuffster: ok, so just insert it and reboot.
[01:58] <Yuffster> Well, it's like, something and install.
[01:58] <devhen> sry what was your issue on2see?
[01:58] <on2see> ...
[01:58] <apokryphos> on2see: what's the issue?
[01:58] <Jack_Smirnoff> 4 minutes
[01:58] <Yuffster> When I reboot, though, it just puts me in the old installation after loading the kernel.
[01:58] <dstyrk> less than 500mb
[01:58] <Yuffster> I guess I can try it again.
[01:58] <on2see> My internet has a download cap of 500mb, I need Dapper
[01:58] <apokryphos> Yuffster: yup, just select "install" option.
[01:59] <on2see> Shipit is too long of a wait
[01:59] <devhen> Yuffster: make sure you BIOS is set to boot from the CDROM
[01:59] <apokryphos> on2see: either download it from someone else, or use shipit.
[01:59] <Ropechoborra> Yuffster: go to the bios, on advanced features and enable the first boot from CD
[01:59] <Yuffster> What should I do after I install to get the Nvidia 420 and Linksys WUSB11 2.8 working?
[01:59] <apokryphos> on2see: or purchase it on amazon.
[01:59] <Yuffster> Oh, it boots from CD-ROM.
[01:59] <HackerX> kaot: Are you still in here?
[01:59] <Yuffster> But the boot disk spits me back out into the old installation, for some reason.
[01:59] <on2see> Uh... I'm kinda short on money here...
[01:59] <apokryphos> Yuffster: after you select the first option? That wouldn't happen.
[02:00] <apokryphos> on2see: that's fine, it's very cheap.
[02:00] <Yuffster> Alright, I'll try it again.
[02:00] <rpedro> Yuffster: how many hard disks do you have
[02:00] <Yuffster> One, but I partitioned it a lot.
[02:00] <on2see> Link me... and keep compressing
[02:00] <Yuffster> I have an 80 gig with five partitions.
[02:00] <Ropechoborra> Anyone knows if i can run bitchx in X ? (without a terminal)
[02:01] <rpedro> rpedro: probably not what I was thinking then...
[02:01] <jdav> Will someone help me with samba?
[02:01] <apokryphos> on2see: I'm sure you know how to search amazon 8)
[02:01] <apokryphos> or Google
[02:01] <Emilis> ubuntu installed boot manager on /dev/hdb (second hard drive), what should I do that when computer starts up it shouldn't automatically start up on first drive which is XP?
[02:02] <bluefoxicy> change boot order in bios.
[02:02] <apokryphos> Emilis: bios settings
[02:02] <Ropechoborra> I think its grub issue
[02:02] <Emilis> I tried looking in bios, but it didn't give me a choice, between hard disks...
[02:02] <Yuffster> Once I have Dapper installed, how do I get it to work with my Nvidia card?
[02:02] <Jack_Smirnoff> Still over 600 meg
[02:03] <jdav> Will some one help me with samba, I installed it on my ubuntu server and when I go to my network in windows I see it, but I want it so when I click that link in my netowrk under windows it goes to /var/www/torrents/downloads.
[02:03] <devhen> Emilis: I recommend reinstalling grub to the MBR of the first disk
[02:03] <redguy> Emilis, you can make ubuntu boot from the windows bootloader too
[02:03] <m_tadeu> why is rapip saying "could not connect to host localhost"?
[02:03] <HackerX> Hey does anyone know why i Knetwork manager wont work for me?
[02:03] <redguy> Emilis, but what devhen suggests is propably easier
[02:03] <HackerX> 
[02:03] <Ropechoborra> Yuffster: just install it, it shoud work
[02:03] <Yuffster> Alright.
[02:04] <Yuffster> I'll give it a try.
[02:04] <Yuffster> Thanks, guys.
[02:04] <Emilis> how do I reinstall grub to MBR?
[02:04] <Jack_Smirnoff> !grub
[02:04] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[02:04] <Jack_Smirnoff> hacker, are you in Kubuntu or Ubuntu
[02:04] <Emilis> can I boot from the CDROM and tell it to boot from /dev/hdb1?
[02:04] <K^Holtz> Jack_Smirnoff: are you Jack_Sparrow?
[02:04] <Jack_Smirnoff> Yes
[02:05] <Ropechoborra> How do i run BitchX on X ?
[02:05] <dstyrk> What do you all use to play DVD's?
[02:05] <jdav> open aterm and type bitchx
[02:05] <jdav> :( no one will help me
[02:05] <apokryphos> dstyrk: check the FAQ
[02:05] <Ropechoborra> jdav: but i dont want it in text mode =/
[02:05] <HackerX> Hey, does anyone know if i have to do anything to get Knetworkmanager
[02:05] <jdav> its only in text mode
[02:05] <jdav> if you want a gui IRC client try xchat
[02:05] <Ropechoborra> sure? =S
[02:05] <on2see> Jack_Smirnoff: Any progress?
[02:06] <Jack_Sparrow> hackerx , are you in Kubuntu or Ubuntu
[02:06] <jdav> bitch and irssi are text only
[02:06] <Ropechoborra> Ok
[02:06] <HackerX> ubuntu
[02:06] <Ropechoborra> ty
[02:06] <HackerX> i think
[02:06] <jdav> but you can run them from a terminal in x
[02:06] <Ropechoborra> Jack_Sparrow: whats the diference between kubuntu and ubuntu?
[02:06] <jdav> kde and gnome :)
[02:06] <Ropechoborra> lol
[02:07] <Consty> or
[02:07] <Ropechoborra> it was obvious xD
[02:07] <steiner> Hello.  I've a problem minimizing windows in Dapper.  Can anyone help?
[02:07] <Consty> blue and brown :P
[02:07] <on2see> Ropechoborra: Kubuntu is under the K desktop environment
[02:07] <on2see> Ubuntu is under GNOME
[02:07] <apokryphos> Consty: dapper is organge for gnome!
[02:07] <Consty> PSSHH!!!
[02:07] <jrib> steiner: what's the problem?
[02:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Is Knetworkmanager KDE app
[02:07] <HackerX> Jack_Sparrow, it just stops at 28% im already on the network i just wanted to have the manager
[02:07] <Consty> I say its poop brown.
[02:07] <apokryphos> Jack_Sparrow: yes
[02:07] <Consty> and the scrollbars look like bandaids.
[02:07] <redguy> steiner, well someone might as soon as you give more detail
[02:08] <Jack_Sparrow> SOme KDE apps work... NOt all
[02:08] <apokryphos> in GNOME? Pretty much every KDE app should work in GNOME just fine.
[02:08] <on2see> Jack_Smirnoff: How is the compression coming
[02:08] <redguy> HackerX, but there's network-manager-gnome for gnome
[02:08] <Wiseguy> hey guys, im completely new to ubuntu and i just installed last night... i had fedora on my desktop systems before and i seem to like ubuntu better so far, but im not much of a gnome fan... how much different is kubuntu from ubuntu?
[02:08] <Jack_Sparrow> It was still over 600,
[02:09] <steiner> When I try to minimize a window, it simply disappears from the screen.  I can close the minimized app with the System Monitor, and I can alt-tab to the minimized app, but when minimized the app doesn't appear in the taskbar.
[02:09] <HackerX> redguy, oh really where that at?
[02:09] <apokryphos> Wiseguy: Kubuntu is very good, and very easy to install from Ubuntu. Check the FAQ.
[02:09] <on2see> :(
[02:09] <HackerX> is it that network manager at the bottom of the list
[02:09] <redguy> HackerX, I would rather think that your interfaces are managed by ifup/down
[02:09] <redguy> HackerX, not sure... I use aptitude
[02:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Time for me to get some things done for the wife...
[02:10] <HackerX> redguy, ok where do i get that?
[02:10] <K^Holtz> Jack_Sparrow: if you remember the install issue i was having before, i'm pretty sure its fixed, after i ran the memory check and the cd check, it just seemed to start working.. im on the live cd now and im dreading clicking the install icon for fear that it will not work
[02:10] <Intelligi> I am having a huge problem with crashing. I think my computer is on its last leg. It has to either be the CPU or the hard drive. Right before it crashes, I can hear the hard drive make some noise, like it is either slowing down or trying to start spinning again.
[02:10] <Intelligi> It was doing this under Windows, so I don't think it is Ubuntu.
[02:10] <redguy> HackerX, open a terminal and run sudp aptitude install network-manager-gnome
[02:11] <AngryElf> how do you run *.bin files?
[02:11] <hcjc92> i have a problem, i just installed sun-java5-jre (3 times) hwo do i configure firefox to work with it?
[02:11] <steiner> use automatix
[02:11] <redguy> !automatix
[02:11] <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.
[02:11] <redguy> hm
[02:11] <hcjc92> where does you get it?
[02:11] <redguy> that changed...
[02:11] <steiner> getautomatix.com
[02:11] <apokryphos> redguy: easyubuntu is generally recommended more around here.
[02:12] <LjL> redguy: yep :\
[02:12] <rpedro> !automatix
[02:12] <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.
[02:12] <redguy> apokryphos, that is what I remembered
[02:12] <Intelligi> Easy Ubuntu gives wrong sudo apt-get commands.
[02:12] <HackerX> redguy: ok thanks
[02:12] <apokryphos> Intelligi: it does?
[02:12] <redguy> apokryphos, the prevoius factoid was much more 'harsh' ;-)
[02:12] <K^Holtz> how long does an ubuntu install typically take? i'm just asking because i dont want to start it and not finish b/c i have to leave in a little while
[02:12] <apokryphos> redguy: yeah, we settled for something a little more neutral.
[02:12] <steiner> It's fast
[02:12] <LjL> K^Holtz: it depends on your processor, RAM, HD speed, CD speed
[02:13] <apokryphos> K^Holtz: totally depends on your system. On mine I'd say it was under half an hour.
[02:13] <HackerX> redguy, how do i run it after installed?
[02:13] <steiner> ditto
[02:13] <K^Holtz> apokryphos: i'm assuming u have a farily new pc?
[02:13] <Intelligi> Yeah, I prefer using the Synaptic Package Manager instead of the sudo apt-get commands found at Easy Ubuntu.
[02:14] <redguy> HackerX, it should just appear in your 'systray'
[02:14] <apokryphos> K^Holtz: yes. amd64 3400+, gig of ram
[02:14] <AngryElf> what package is run in?
[02:14] <redguy> HackerX, if it doesn't I guess you could log out and log in
[02:15] <Jenkens> i get 4 font path element errors with startx (when I close out).. TTF OTF, Type1 and CID
[02:15] <Jenkens> (Jenkens) i cant seem to locate which packages would resolve these errors
[02:15] <Jenkens> could anyone advise me ther
[02:15] <HackerX> redguy, what the icon look like i dont think its in there
[02:15] <K^Holtz> apokryphos: alright, thanks i'll just wait till i get back, its fine to leave liveCD running for a few hours right?
[02:15] <apokryphos> !packages
[02:15] <ubotu> You can browse and search the packages in Ubuntu in synaptic, adept and online on http://packages.ubuntu.com
[02:15] <on2see> ok
[02:15] <apokryphos> K^Holtz: of course
[02:15] <redguy> a-hah!
[02:15] <on2see> How can I get dapper, then?
[02:15] <AngryElf> !run
[02:15] <ubotu> I know nothing about run
[02:15] <Intelligi> I am having a huge problem with crashing. I think my computer is on its last leg. It has to either be the CPU or the hard drive. Right before it crashes, I can hear the hard drive make some noise, like it is either slowing down or trying to start spinning again. It was doing this under Windows too.
[02:15] <redguy> !tell HackerX about networkmanager
[02:15] <jdav> does anyone in here know about configuring Samba?
[02:15] <apokryphos> AngryElf: see what ubotu said
[02:15] <apokryphos> on2see: I told you already ;-)
[02:16] <aXanaXa> anyone here setup IPCop on Ubuntu?
[02:16] <redguy> HackerX, follow the link ubotu told you
[02:16] <HackerX> alright
[02:16] <apokryphos> jdav: language, please.
[02:16] <redguy> aXanaXa, isn't IPCop a router distro?
[02:16] <brett_> Can anyone tell me how to make my external USB drive not read only?
[02:16] <AngryElf> apokryphos, i tried that, now i'm asking here
[02:17] <Intelligi> I heard Linspire is easier than Ubuntu, but you have to pay for that. Ubuntu is the way to go.
[02:17] <lurker99> Intelligi,  Hope you've got backups...  [ standby for disk crash. ] 
[02:17] <aXanaXa> redguy it is a firewall
[02:17] <apokryphos> AngryElf: it tells you; check p.u.c
[02:17] <HackerX> redguy also what file do i edit to add a differnt res? and what the next res for a 15.4 widesceen after 1024x768
[02:17] <Intelligi> lurker99, are you sure it is the hard drive and not the CPU?
[02:17] <frankenberry> can xchat be used to access Java-enabled chatrooms?
[02:17] <lurker99> u said "I can hear the hard drive make some noise"
[02:17] <steiner> When I try to minimize a window, it simply disappears from the screen.  I can close the minimized app with System Monitor, and I can alt-tab to the minimized app, but when minimized, the app doesn't appear in the panel
[02:17] <redguy> !tell HackerX about fixres
[02:18] <HackerX> Redguy, thanks
[02:18] <Intelligi> lurker99, yes, but I don't know why it is doing that.
[02:18] <redguy> aXanaXa, hmm a firewall you say? something like shorewall?
[02:19] <on2see> CRAP
[02:19] <aXanaXa> redguy yes
[02:19] <redguy> aXanaXa, so you are not talking about http://ipcop.org/ ?
[02:19] <frankenberry> Please help.  Can xchat be used to access chatrooms normally accessed via Java???
[02:19] <aXanaXa> redguy that is correct
[02:20] <harry> nid help please. i've installed macromedia flash mx 2004 in dapper drake. but i cant run it
[02:20] <redguy> aXanaXa, ok, just checking
[02:20] <on2see> The CD's from Amazon are DVD's!!! I have a regular CD drive for my Ubuntu machine! :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
[02:21] <aXanaXa> redguy I know you can install it as a standalone system but I was wondering if anyone has integrated it into ubuntu before
[02:21] <aXanaXa> or installed it on Debian
[02:21] <ardchoille> on2see: you can get free CD's from ShipIt
[02:21] <on2see> I know...
[02:21] <on2see> I have been through that
[02:21] <on2see> That is too long though
[02:21] <ardchoille> on2see: or you can have a look at:
[02:21] <ardchoille> http://linuxcentral.com/catalog/?s_prod_name=ubuntu&set_join=and&cat=search
[02:21] <harry> nid help please. i've installed macromedia flash mx 2004 in dapper drake. but i cant run it
[02:21] <lurker99> Intelligi, step 1: backups   step 2: does it crash when running a live cd and with th hdd removed? [ how often are the crashes? ]   and/or run a memtest
[02:22] <AngryElf> apokryphos, searching for "run" at p.u.c returns 45 matches.....if you know couldn't you just tell me?
[02:22] <ardchoille> on2see: I have used Linux Central for a couple years and they are fast and efficient.. never had a problem
[02:22] <|christophe|> How can I get Ubuntu running on an iBook? I tried to boot it from the CD and it wouldn't work...is there a step before that that I am missing?
[02:23] <apokryphos> on2see: http://www.osdisc.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi/products/linux/ubuntu
[02:23] <kbrooks> on2see: i was patiently waiting, and my CDs arrived last night...
[02:23] <apokryphos> AngryElf: if it's an executable you're looking for, then look for something with bin/ ...if not, then no such file in the repositories exists
[02:23] <redguy> aXanaXa, well, never heard of it actually. It would be kindof pointless since you should have a dedicated box for a firewall
[02:23] <apokryphos> AngryElf: what are you trying to use it for?
[02:23] <xored> jemand das dsl mode speedport w 501v und weiss, wie man da remote administration einstellt

[02:24] <aXanaXa> redguy I agree however in testing it would make sense
[02:24] <on2see> kbrooks: Did you order them the day before? Wow
[02:24] <apokryphos> on2see: no, from shipit they take 4-6 weeks.
[02:25] <dstyrk> This is the message I get when I try to play a DVD..                                Totem cannot play this type of media (DVD) because you do not have the appropriate plugins to handle it.            Where and what plugins do I need to make a regular DVD movie play?
[02:25] <ardchoille> apokryphos: wow, osdisc.com has better prices :)
[02:25] <apokryphos> dstyrk: check the FAQ
[02:25] <ardchoille> apokryphos: Thanks for the link
[02:25] <redguy> aXanaXa, hmm  perhaps... you could create a chroot jail for it I suppose
[02:25] <dstyrk> I did.. I can't find anything
[02:25] <aXanaXa> yep
[02:25] <on2see> How much is shipping?
[02:25] <dstyrk> I found something about codecs, but i don't understand that either..
[02:26] <brett_> Ugh... found my answer... NTFS drives are read only in Ubuntu... that stinks
[02:26] <apokryphos> dstyrk: search the page for "DVD", it's there.
[02:26] <DarkMageZ> brett_, you can have write access, but it is likely to damage your NTFS partition =D
[02:26] <on2see> !codecs

[02:26] <Jenkens> i get 4 font path element errors with startx (when I close out).. TTF OTF, Type1 and CID .. is there a way to resolve them?
[02:26] <brett_> I just read all that... I think I will get a new drive and go fat32 on it
[02:26] <GOAT|snaple> does ubuntu support any programs such as wine?
[02:27] <bimberi> !wine
[02:27] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[02:27] <GOAT|snaple> thanks.
[02:27] <ic56> brett_: Microsoft isn't very forthcoming with NTFS information, so it's hard to code for them.
[02:27] <bimberi> GOAT|snaple: yw :)
[02:27] <on2see> GOAT|snaple: Yes
[02:27] <brett_> How would I reformat my NTFS drive via ubuntu?  What program does that?
[02:27] <tsume> ic56: hmm?
[02:27] <tsume> ic56: FreeBSD has had NTFS support and write for the longest time ;)
[02:27] <harry> nid help please. i've installed macromedia flash mx 2004 in dapper drake. but i cant run it
[02:27] <tsume> ic56: I was very surprised few years back when linux was just barely getting ntfs write support(barely)
[02:28] <ic56> tsume: Huh! I didn't know that
[02:28] <brett_> NTFS is faster (so they say) but not really a good linux option
[02:28] <ardchoille> harry: how did you install it and how are you trying to run it?
[02:28] <tsume> ic56: yeah. heh. Not sure why, BSDs even have a better wireless driver set. I think its a someone-not-wanting-to-fool-with-legal-issues
[02:28] <J-_> how do i install a .deb that i've downloaded, an upgrade of amsn?
[02:28] <J-_> i'm using breezy badger
[02:29] <apokryphos> !deb
[02:29] <ubotu> deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click on them (Ubuntu) or right-click and select Kubuntu Package Menu->install (Kubuntu)
[02:29] <jrib> that should be updated to say you need gdebi installed, I don't think gdebi is installed by default, is it?
[02:29] <harry> ardchoille: i just double clicked the install.exe and it runned. then i changed the directory to my home, and it installed succefuly. after that. i'm trying to double click the flash.exe but it wont run
[02:30] <BIAF> looking a webmin wiz to help with mail issue.
[02:30] <harry> ardchoille: when i was trying to run it on terminal i get these errors " import_dll Library MSVCIRT.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\harry\\flashmx\\xerces-c_2_1_0.dll") not found
[02:30] <harry> err:module:import_dll Library xerces-c_2_1_0.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\harry\\flashmx\\flash.exe") not found

[02:30] <harry> "
[02:30] <nickname> salut
[02:30] <jrib> !fr
[02:30] <ardchoille> harry: afaik, .exe. files don't run in Linux unless you have wine or some other layer for Windows
[02:30] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[02:31] <harry> ardchoille: i have wine. thats the issue
[02:31] <nickname> mk....thanks
[02:31] <J-_> when i double click on the .deb archive manager coems up, and it cannot open the file, it states the archive type not supported.
[02:31] <ardchoille> harry: maybe ask in #winehq ?
[02:31] <jrib> J-_: install the package 'gdebi'
[02:32] <J-_> k will do
[02:32] <J-_> thanks
[02:32] <levandanna> hmm
[02:32] <levandanna> wine repo is down
[02:32] <ardchoille> harry: are you trying to view flash in Firefox?
[02:32] <BIAF> any1 use Webmin
[02:33] <harry> no. i'm trying to run the Macromedia Flash MX. i already installed the plugin for Firefox
[02:33] <ardchoille> ahh, ok
[02:34] <opgeven> recently i locked my laptop and wlaked away, and the battery died shortly thereafter.  the computer restarted as edubuntu, but i didn't install edubuntu or make any changes that would result in the computer thinking it would be running edubuntu.  what might've caused this?
[02:34] <opgeven> **walked
[02:34] <levandanna> lmao opgeven
[02:34] <levandanna> computers
[02:35] <HackerX> redguy, i was looking for somthing to scan for networks and then possibly connect to them
[02:35] <harry> Anyone knows how to install macromedia flash MX to Ubuntu??
[02:35] <JackRazz> anyone here use dar or kdar for system backups?
[02:36] <johnnyX> can someone tell me why the hell i type www.google.com into my browser and it keeps taking me to bbc news?
[02:36] <johnnyX> its been doing this for a while
[02:36] <BIAF> harry : try installing wine if its win32 mx your talking about
[02:36] <johnnyX> for any site
[02:36] <harry> BIAF: i already have wine. i've installed it. but it wont run
[02:36] <pennypacker> wine doesnt work 50%
[02:36] <johnnyX> and sometimes i'll type in a url and it will say it is forbidden
[02:37] <mateX> well i m trying to install a pptpconfig thats used by pptp client so i need a binary for Debian for Ubuntu?
[02:37] <johnnyX> for google
[02:37] <johnnyX> does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it/
[02:37] <johnnyX> ?
[02:37] <harry> BIAF: i tried running it on terminal then i get this error messages "import_dll Library MSVCIRT.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\harry\\flashmx\\xerces-c_2_1_0.dll") not found

[02:37] <SAM_theman> guys how Can i reconfigure my sound card
[02:37] <SAM_theman> whats the command??
[02:38] <HackerX> Hey whats the best way to remote desktop to a windows computer the windows box is running real VNC
[02:38] <JNIBrother> Bye everyone!!!
[02:38] <SAM_theman> !sound
[02:38] <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
[02:38] <Sub> HackerX, vncviewer.
[02:38] <pennypacker> yes alsa
[02:38] <HackerX> where do i get that?
[02:38] <mateX> well i m trying to install a pptpconfig thats used by pptp client so i need a binary for Debian for Ubuntu?
[02:39] <johnnyX> it was heat of the moment
[02:39] <johnnyX> telling me what our hearts meant
[02:39] <HackerX> you mean get real VNC on ubuntu?
[02:39] <johnnyX> why the hell does my browser keep taking  me to bbc news
[02:39] <pennypacker> strange
[02:39] <pennypacker> but bbc news isnt bad
[02:40] <johnnyX> and its telling me google is forbiden
[02:40] <mateX> where you from johnnyX
[02:40] <Jenkens> i get 4 font path element errors with startx (when I close out).. TTF OTF, Type1 and CID .. is there a way to resolve them? did I miss the message before?
[02:40] <johnnyX> its not pennypacker
[02:40] <johnnyX> but its extremely annoying when i want to look something up and my browser never works
[02:40] <BIAF> harry : its prob because flash mx needs other files that normaly sit in windows\system , try googling that error, - making a system folder and putting windows DLL's etc into it might have to be done.
[02:40] <J-_> i try to use Gdeb, the installation window coems up, after i press install nothing starts to install
[02:40] <johnnyX> the midwest mateX
[02:40] <HackerX> sub, should i get the Tar or RPM pack?
[02:41] <johnnyX> tar
[02:41] <BIAF> harry : or else nasty API errors that are not very fixable
[02:41] <HackerX> k thanks
[02:41] <mateX> i think something wrong with your firefox setting check it.
[02:41] <johnnyX> i have mateX
[02:41] <pennypacker> tmb reinstall it
[02:41] <johnnyX> everything is fine
[02:41] <johnnyX> a look from you and i would fall from grace
[02:41] <johnnyX> do you remember when we use to dance
[02:41] <opgeven> noone knows why my laptop would suddenly think it was running edubuntu instead of plain ubuntu?
[02:42] <johnnyX> an incident arose from circumstance
[02:42] <Sub> HackerX, this is ubuntu, rpms are for red hat, just "sudo apt-get install vncviewer"
[02:42] <johnnyX> updates opgeven
[02:42] <HackerX> ohh
[02:42] <HackerX> ok thanks
[02:42] <Sub> HackerX, not living up to the name i see >_>
[02:42] <johnnyX> did you install anything from the edutainment section opgeven ?
[02:42] <dstyrk> apokryphos:  Ok.. I did the search.. Didn't come up with anything for me.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=DVD&titlesearch=Titles
[02:42] <dstyrk> I need to find out how to play a dvd.. Not Rip, burn, backup, author, shrink... Those are the only things I have come up with.. The wiki was even worse.
[02:42] <johnnyX> i did and now it does the same thing
[02:42] <opgeven> johnnyX:  nothing
[02:43] <apokryphos> dstyrk: point 5 under "using ubuntu"
[02:43] <pennypacker> opgegeven?
[02:43] <johnnyX> i installed applications > education > klatin and now it does that opgeven

[02:44] <J-_> i try to use Gdeb, the installation window coems up, after i press install nothing starts to install
[02:44] <Sub> HackerX, i cant remember from memory,what are they both called?
[02:45] <AltF4> hello
[02:45] <pennypacker> try to start it in console
[02:45] <johnnyX> i never meant to be so bad to you
[02:45] <Sub> btw HackerX, realvnc has a nasty exploit going round at the moment, you should really use tightvnc
[02:45] <johnnyX> one thing i said that i would never do
[02:45] <pennypacker> & check errors
[02:45] <johnnyX> a look from you and i would fall from grace
[02:45] <johnnyX> and that would wipe the smile right from my face
[02:45] <HackerX> sub, xtightvncviewer, and svncviewer
[02:45] <AltF4> how much RAM does Ubuntu use
[02:45] <AltF4> ?
[02:45] <pennypacker> a nice day for a white wedding
[02:45] <dotslashroot> Hello everyone.  I have a Gateway 450sx4 that has been running breezy perfectly.  I just upgraded to dapper and now my sound card doesnt work (ES1988 Allegro)

[02:46] <blue22> somebody told me that rms is pissed because ubuntu is not all open source.  is this correct?  i thought it was.
[02:46] <AltF4> use WINE to install the driver
[02:46] <mateX> is ubuntu a debain?
[02:46] <johnnyX> i cant get dvd installed
[02:46] <emili1> I am trying to create grub boot diskette, when I mount floppy it says, mount: you must specify the filesystem type, how am I supposed to mount it?
[02:46] <AltF4> NO
[02:46] <johnnyX> er running
[02:46] <AltF4> Not A DEBIAN
[02:46] <johnnyX> i've installed all the plugins
[02:46] <johnnyX> it tells me there is no plugin with totem
[02:46] <mateX> ok
[02:46] <dotslashroot> WINE?  I never had to use that in breezy...how do I use WINE to install it?
[02:46] <pennypacker> use mplayer
[02:46] <johnnyX> with xine it starts working and quits half way in
[02:47] <johnnyX> mplayer sucks
[02:47] <AltF4> Download wine
[02:47] <AltF4> wine.org
[02:47] <pennypacker> or vlc
[02:47] <johnnyX> vlc doesnt work
[02:47] <mateX> can you guys have a look and tell me what pptpconfig i need for ubuntu? http://quozl.us.netrek.org/pptp/pptpconfig/0-README.phtml
[02:47] <pennypacker> aah
[02:47] <AltF4> or go to the manufactuor and ask for a Linux Driver
[02:47] <johnnyX> WHAT WERE THE THINGS YOU WANTED FOR YOURSELF
[02:47] <HackerX> sub, sorry for being such a noob but how do i run the viewer after its installed?

[02:48] <zenwhen> external*
[02:48] <dotslashroot> I know how to install WINE but how is that going to run my sound card?
[02:48] <apokryphos> johnnyX: please do not use caps like that.
[02:48] <johnnyX> lol sorry
[02:48] <johnnyX> i never meant to be so bad to you
[02:48] <HackerX> johnnyx, Theres only 1/16in between the "A" key and the CAPS let try to keep it off
[02:48] <HackerX> lol
[02:48] <dotslashroot> when I run " sudo lspci -v | grep audio" it sees the card.  But the Sound preferences panel lists nothing
[02:48] <johnnyX> do you remember when we use to dance?
[02:49] <AltF4> install the driver via WINE
[02:49] <pennypacker> install wine & feel the pain
[02:49] <HackerX> where do i find the vnc viewer after i installed it?
[02:49] <Jenkens> hrm. alright. well i must have done something wrong on my xserver-xorg install, because i get a bunch of font path errors for TTF, Type1, CID and another.. did I miss a font package or 3?
[02:49] <dotslashroot> Why do I have to do that when breezy ran with sound support without doing anything
[02:50] <hcjc92> HURRAY FOR AUTOMATIX!
[02:50] <johnnyX> HackerX, type vnc whatever and type whereis
[02:50] <johnnyX> or whereis vnc-viewer
[02:50] <blue22> If Ubuntu is behind free and open source software, why do we suppor the proprietary Automatix and such?
[02:50] <AltF4> ...

[02:54] <Sleeping_Sloth> hello everyone :)
[02:54] <HackerX> how do i add a res to the list manualy
[02:55] <pennypacker> why would one run ubuntu instead of fedora
[02:55] <Sleeping_Sloth> by any chance, has anyone here installed openttd on a 64 bit machine?
[02:56] <roostishaw> what command would i use to install the correct linux-headers for my system? its something like sudo apt-get install linux-headers-(uname -r) or something... anyone?
[02:56] <markg> Ilike ubuntu/kubuntu because it feels like a fun distro compared to others
[02:56] <dylan_> EasyUbuntu or Automatix?  Which is better and safer?
[02:56] <jinho> hi I'm just curious, does anyone here have a radeon 9200 and have it working perfectly with OpenGL?
[02:56] <bimberi> teimu: yes, have a look at the usermod command, in particular the -l option
[02:56] <SAM_theman> Goto System->Preferences->Sound and disable "Enable Sound Server Startup"??
[02:57] <Sleeping_Sloth> how can I tell what the dependances are for a .deb ....?
[02:57] <HackerX> ***How Do I Manully Add a Res To The List???***
[02:57] <SAM_theman> Its only shows Enable software sound mixing (EDD) and play system sounds
[02:57] <roostishaw> what command would i use to install the correct linux-headers for my system? its something like sudo apt-get install linux-headers-(uname -r) or something... anyone?
[02:57] <Yuffster> Alright, stupid question, but it's really bugging me:  In the first option for the Dapper boot disk, it's Start or Install Ubuntu.
[02:57] <SAM_theman> I am mean *(ESD)
[02:57] <markg> jinho am running an x1900 on 8.26 drivers
[02:57] <Yuffster> When I select it, I guess it's just starting it live.
[02:57] <Yuffster> But I want to install it.
[02:57] <Yuffster> What do I do to do that?
[02:57] <Ares> Yuff: It's on the desktop
[02:57] <bimberi> HackerX: vncserver -geometry 1280x960   (for example)
[02:58] <dylan_> !automatix
[02:58] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: yes - click "install" on the desktop
[02:58] <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.
[02:58] <Yuffster> I can't get to the desktop, though.
[02:58] <dylan_> !easyubuntu
[02:58] <Sleeping_Sloth> damn you ares! :)
[02:58] <ubotu> EasyUbuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of easyubuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[02:58] <Yuffster> The GUI crashes right away.
[02:58] <Ares> Yuff: Huh?
[02:58] <SAM_theman> jinho, ummm srry buddie but only 9600 series or higher
[02:58] <Ares> Yuff: Ouch.
[02:58] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: I may know why
[02:58] <Ares> Yuff: What exactly happens?
[02:58] <bimberi> roostishaw: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)       note the $
[02:58] <jinho> SAM_theman: do you mean is supported or you're using?
[02:58] <mateX> it was suggested to add this to my /etc/aptsources.list "deb http://quozl.netrek.org/pptp/pptpconfig ./ " but i wanna do it manualy any suggestions?
[02:58] <roostishaw> bimberi, thats it... thanks
[02:58] <Yuffster> When X Window (I think) starts, it just gives me a death screen.
[02:58] <Yuffster> Does it in all Ubuntus.
[02:58] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster.... how many partitions do you have?
[02:58] <Yuffster> I've got an Nvidia GeForce 420.
[02:58] <Yuffster> Five.
[02:58] <HackerX> bimberi ok that helps to but what i ment is for the my screen vnc aside
[02:59] <pennypacker> look in the /var/log/xorg
[02:59] <SAM_theman> jinho, I mean its not supported,but its a worth of try
[02:59] <HackerX> in ubuntu
[02:59] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: can you get to a terminal?
[02:59] <Yuffster> Yeah, I get to the terminal.
[02:59] <markg> think ati hosed up some of the older chips on this release
[02:59] <jinho> SAM_theman- do you know where I could go look, I know google..but is there any place in particular?
[02:59] <bimberi> !resolution
[02:59] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[02:59] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: check your /home
[02:59] <hcjc92> does mysql come with ubuntu desktop/server
[02:59] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: 777 it
[03:00] <SAM_theman> jinho, can I pm u
[03:00] <Yuffster> Alright.
[03:00] <LjL> hcjc92: not by default, but it's easy to install it
[03:00] <Yuffster> Just chmod 777 /home?
[03:00] <Yuffster> Is that the right command?
[03:00] <LjL> !tell hcjc92 about lamp
[03:00] <bimberi> HackerX: the last link from ubotu (above)
[03:00] <arapehl> Does anyone know how to install the Java .bin file java_ee_sdk-5-linux.bin?
[03:00] <HackerX> alright
[03:00] <HackerX> i dont wanna auto detect it
[03:00] <SAM_theman> jinho, well.....
[03:00] <HackerX> will that tell me tho
[03:00] <HackerX> ?
[03:00] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: I had the same problem (I think) - giving user write access to home solved it (after a lot of head-bashing)
[03:00] <mateX> man no one is helping me :(
[03:01] <Ares> mateX: What is your problem?
[03:01] <bimberi> !java
[03:01] <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
[03:01] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: sorry, missed your last post
[03:01] <mateX> Ares:   it was suggested to add this to my /etc/aptsources.list "deb http://quozl.netrek.org/pptp/pptpconfig ./ " but i wanna do it manualy any suggestions?
[03:01] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: stick a sudo in front of it, and yes
[03:01] <Yuffster> Awesome.
[03:01] <Yuffster> Thanks a ton.
[03:01] <arapehl> bimberi, is that also for the JDK? Because the JRE is different.
[03:01] <jinho> SAM_theman

[03:02] <Ares> mateX: I'm slightly confused
[03:02] <mateX> Ares:  why?
[03:02] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster - just to see if you have write access already

[03:03] <SAM_theman> !enemyterritory
[03:03] <ubotu> I know nothing about enemyterritory

[03:04] <CokeNCode> hey, goodnight, i'm looking for a program that i can use to stream winamp tv
[03:04] <simpsonianbanana> what's wrong with this command on ubuntu "mount -o loop -t iso9660 -r cd_image.iso /mnt/cdrom"
[03:05] <CokeNCode> and that gives me a list of all the winamp tv stations to choose from
[03:05] <Ares> mateX: So, can you find the source.tar.gz [or whatever]  for whatever you want to download
[03:05] <simpsonianbanana> should it maybe be /dev/cdrom?
[03:05] <mateX> Ares:  yes
[03:05] <taes> hey everybody

[03:06] <mateX> heh thanks.
[03:06] <cubikdice> whats up?
[03:06] <CokeNCode> rebekka, apt-get install skype
[03:07] <CokeNCode> you have to run it as root
[03:07] <jrib> rebekka: are you interested in also upgrading to latest stable release?
[03:07] <farky> rebekka: go to the terminal, and type: sudo apt-get install skype
[03:07] <taes> nothing much thinking about installing ubuntu 64
[03:07] <rebekka> I wnna know how I install it???
[03:07] <jrib> rebekka: ubotu sent you a private message with information
[03:07] <CokeNCode> rebekka, apt-get will install it for you, take care of dependencies etc
[03:07] <Ares> mateX: so, you want to install, whatever that is, from source basically, do you know how to do the whole make install junk?
[03:07] <dli> farky, is skype in ubuntu?
[03:07] <SAM_theman> Everyone be jealous ----> (http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=6/16211150376.png&s=f5)
[03:08] <jrib> !info skype
[03:08] <ubotu> Package skype does not exist in dapper
[03:08] <farky> rebekka: go to the terminal(Ctrl + Alt + F2) and type "sudo apt-get install skype
[03:08] <farky> dli: yes
[03:08] <mooseman447> hey
[03:08] <Ares> The Ubuntu install script includes skype.
[03:08] <taes> do you have it installed already?
[03:08] <Sleeping_Sloth> its in the multiverse I think
[03:08] <Ares> The "easy" install or what not.
[03:08] <mooseman447> does anybody know if there is a way to tar directly to dvd but its going to need to be split across multiple dvd
[03:08] <mateX> Ares:  not realy but i will try to ..
[03:08] <farky> dli: have it installed not, but I think as Sleeping_Sloth said, it is in the multiverse
[03:08] <Boelcke> Help! gnome-volume-manager autodetects my camera, but only grabs the pictures, not videos.  Where can I manually find my (usb) camera?
[03:08] <CokeNCode> SAM_theman, mine is better :P
[03:09] <farky> you just have to add the extra repositories
[03:09] <dli> Ares, no, my understanding is you have to download the .deb from skype.com , and installed it yourself
[03:09] <rebekka> what do I use this apt get???
[03:09] <SAM_theman> let me see it punk :P
[03:09] <ico2> Boelcke:  try /mnt/sda or /mnt/sda1 or somewhere in /media?
[03:09] <farky> rebekka: go to the terminal(Ctrl + Alt + F2) and type "sudo apt-get install skype
[03:09] <farky> thats all you need to do
[03:09] <Sleeping_Sloth> dli, farky - I'm not sure, as I had to download the static with qt3  - as I'm running 64 bit
[03:09] <CokeNCode> SAM_theman, k, gimme a sec, let me upload it
[03:10] <Ares> mateX: I don't know either, but Google knows, so... http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/softinstall.html
[03:10] <SAM_theman> no problemo my friend
[03:10] <Sleeping_Sloth> but I'm sure I read somewhere that the i386 is in the multiverse
[03:10] <farky> Sleeping_Sloth: Well i'm using 32-bit and it works
[03:10] <ardchoille> farky: skype isn't in the repos
[03:10] <mateX> Ares:  heh thanks mate.
[03:10] <Ares> mateX: ask if you need help, cause I'm sure someone here knows more then I do [Damn I hope so] 
[03:10] <hcjc92> i love me (not sure why, but i do)
[03:10] <farky> ardchoille: you have to add the extra repositories
[03:10] <weakwire> hi i have this problem during ./configure configure: error: Python headers missing .. what package should i install? thank you in advance
[03:10] <Boelcke> ico2, yeah, I've found nothing there.  Hmm...
[03:10] <dli> Sleeping_Sloth, debian made it's clear, the skype license is not compatible with dfsg, so, it won't even be included in non-free
[03:11] <farky> ardchoille: i found them at ubuntuguide.org
[03:11] <ardchoille> farky: I have had the extra repos enabled for months, and I don't see skype
[03:11] <ico2> Boelcke:    you might need to mount it, try mount /dev/sda (or sda1) then look
[03:11] <CokeNCode> http://img55.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1ez.png
[03:11] <Sleeping_Sloth> dli, farky, ardchoille - sorry, my mistake then
[03:11] <Sleeping_Sloth> dli, farky, ardchoille - ah, dumbass, I remember now - there is a repos set up at skype
[03:11] <CokeNCode> http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/8447/screenshot1ez.png
[03:11] <simpsonianbanana> how can I mount an iso under ubuntu?
[03:11] <simpsonianbanana> !iso
[03:11] <ubotu> To mount an .iso image: sudo mount -o loop my.iso /some/mountpoint - bin/cue can be converted to iso with bchunk  .iso images of Ubuntu CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com Always verify the .iso before burning, see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[03:11] <CokeNCode> SAM_theman, what do you think ?
[03:11] <simpsonianbanana> wow
[03:12] <simpsonianbanana> that was... unexpected
[03:12] <dli> simpsonianbanana, mount -oloop
[03:12] <SAM_theman> hmmm
[03:12] <mateX> Ares:  man i knew this btw ;) heh but i am not sure what file i need from this website: http://quozl.us.netrek.org/pptp/pptpconfig/ to make it work with http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net
[03:12] <weakwire> can anyone help me please?
[03:12] <SAM_theman> CokeNCode, no bad commrad
[03:12] <mateX> i dont know if anyone can have a look on this and tell me.
[03:12] <Ares> Ahh, let me dig around.
[03:12] <Sleeping_Sloth> weakwire: post away and someone will help
[03:12] <SAM_theman> CokeNCode, not bad comrade
[03:12] <CokeNCode> SAM_theman, thanks, urz is pretty good also.
[03:12] <Boelcke> ico2, device does not exist.  Sadly.
[03:12] <taes> could someone help me setup a duel hard drive system so i can choose which operating system i want to load
[03:12] <weakwire> post away?
[03:12] <SAM_theman> hehe
[03:13] <mooseman447> anybody have an idea for me?
[03:13] <farky> Sleeping_Sloth, ardchoille: here is the link to add the extra repositories: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Messenger_.28Skype.29
[03:13] <mateX> http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-ubuntu.phtml see this
[03:13] <Ares> taes: You mean a dual boot?
[03:13] <dli> taes, grub can do that
[03:13] <rebekka> My god.... I pressed Control  ALT F2 and I wnet to a screen... i took me 15 min to leave that screennnnnn
[03:13] <Sleeping_Sloth> farky: you beat me to it: the repos is: deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free
[03:13] <dli> rebekka, Alt-f7
[03:13] <farky> Sleeping_Sloth, dli: correction, that is the link for "how" to install it
[03:13] <mateX> Sleeping_Sloth:  what does deb do?
[03:13] <CokeNCode> rebekka, you're new to linux aren't you
[03:13] <taes> yes duel boot
[03:13] <Intelligi> I am having a huge problem with crashing. I think my computer is on its last leg. It has to either be the CPU or the hard drive. Right before it crashes, I can hear the hard drive make some noise, like it is either slowing down or trying to start spinning again. It was doing this under Windows too.
[03:14] <mateX> whats is deb ?
[03:14] <rebekka> Yes I am!
[03:14] <simpsonianbanana> when I try and mount to anything other than a directory, i get 'mount point /mnt/cd does not exist'
[03:14] <taes> does grub have to be on the master hd
[03:14] <Intelligi> Is there anyway to correctly diagnos the problem?
[03:14] <Ares> !info deb
[03:14] <ubotu> Package deb does not exist in dapper
[03:14] <Ares> =(
[03:14] <Sleeping_Sloth> matex:  a deb is a debian package, similar to rpm
[03:14] <dli> Intelligi, sounds like a hdd problem, backup data first, badblocks
[03:14] <farky> Sleeping_Sloth: yeah skype works, it just needs a little more work. It's pretty slow
[03:14] <rebekka> Well... going back to the subject... what am I supposed to do... can anyone try to be as simple as possible?
[03:14] <HackerX> Where can i get a good wifi scanner/finder???
[03:14] <Intelligi> Data is backed up already.
[03:14] <mateX> Sleeping_Sloth:  thats what i have been asking :( and Ubuntu is a debain right?
[03:14] <ardchoille> simpsonianbanana: you need to create the mount point before using it in mount
[03:14] <Sleeping_Sloth> farky - mine works okay on 64 bit under linux32
[03:14] <Sleeping_Sloth> matex: yes
[03:15] <Ares> Oh wait, mateX...
[03:15] <J-_> i don't think Gdeb is working, is there anyway i can fix it?
[03:15] <simpsonianbanana> ardchoille, how would I do that?
[03:15] <farky> rebekka: go here: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Messenger_.28Skype.29
[03:15] <Ares> MateX: You just want to edit a file?
[03:15] <minimec> Intelligi: This is the Harddisk. Save your Data as soon as possible. ;)
[03:15] <dli> Intelligi, then, run badblocks
[03:15] <mateX> goddamn it
[03:15] <Sleeping_Sloth> matex: well, for the purposes of the question
[03:15] <Intelligi> Is there anyway to be sure exactly what my problem is?
[03:15] <ardchoille> simpsonianbanana: sudo mkdir /path/to/desired/dir
[03:15] <Sleeping_Sloth> matex: why?
[03:15] <ardchoille> simpsonianbanana: in your case: sudo mkdir /mnt/cd
[03:15] <farky> Sleeping_Sloth: how fast does it start up though?
[03:15] <Sleeping_Sloth> farky: a few seconds - hold on, I'll fire it up again...:p
[03:16] <dli> Intelligi, man badblocks
[03:16] <Intelligi> What is badlocks?
[03:16] <mateX> Sleeping_Sloth:  actualy in an instalation i was asked to add "deb http://quozl.us.netrek.org/pptp/pptpconfig/ ./" to my /etc/apt/services.list
[03:16] <Sleeping_Sloth> farky: lol..... it took a full 20 seconds....
[03:16] <Ares> mateX: Yeah, that isn't hard.
[03:16] <HackerX> ***Where can i get a good WIFI Scanner/Viewer
[03:16] <farky> Intelligi: it tries to detect bad sectors in the disired partition
[03:16] <Sleeping_Sloth> farky: although both cpus are maxed folding
[03:16] <simpsonianbanana> ardchoille, then I get an error in VMWare, cdrom not allowed as a directory
[03:16] <weakwire> anyone? should i wait for some help?
[03:17] <Sleeping_Sloth> farky: but I think that would make little difference
[03:17] <minimec> HackerX: Kismet
[03:17] <dli> !ask > weakwire
[03:17] <ardchoille> simpsonianbanana: oh, VMware, ok. Can't help with that
[03:17] <HackerX> Kismet ok how do i get it?
[03:17] <Ares> mateX: Just type in "sudo gedit /etc/apt/services/list" [into terminal] 
[03:17] <mateX> Sleeping_Sloth:   and i cant access internet from that machine so i wanted to download the exact file needed so i can use copy it from this machine to Ubuntu one and use pptpconfig
[03:17] <Intelligi> I don't understand farky.
[03:17] <simpsonianbanana> It wants something like /dev/hda2 or /dev/cdrom/
[03:17] <weakwire> hi i have this problem during ./configure configure: error: Python headers missing .. what package should i install? thank you in advance
[03:17] <mateX> Ares:  thanks but thats not the problem
[03:17] <Ares> mateX: Oh, ok NOW I understand you.
[03:17] <farky> Sleeping_Sloth: yeah, but I can just tell, even with minimal processes running, it still takes like 10 seconds
[03:17] <mateX> ok
[03:17] <ardchoille> simpsonianbanana: those are devices and they probably already exist
[03:18] <Sleeping_Sloth> farky - thats what I remember - about 10 seems about right.
[03:18] <farky> Intelligi: some hard disks have bad sectors which cause read-write errors which lead to other problems
[03:18] <Ares> !info pptp
[03:18] <ubotu> Package pptp does not exist in dapper
[03:18] <minimec> HackerX: sudo apt-get install kismet ;)
[03:18] <farky> Sleeping_Sloth: but at least it works eh?
[03:18] <mateX> hmm
[03:18] <HackerX> ah thanks
[03:18] <weakwire> dli i did it before
[03:18] <Sleeping_Sloth> farky: once it's fired up its fine. worked out of the box - IM, file transfer, VOIP
[03:18] <Intelligi> I thought bad sectors just weren't written to.
[03:18] <mateX> Ares:  actualy i m trying to use a pptpclient used for vpn connections try this: http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net
[03:19] <Sleeping_Sloth> farky (although only using a headset - not tried proper VOIP calling through it)
[03:19] <mateX> Sleeping_Sloth:  any suggestions?
[03:19] <Sleeping_Sloth> matex: you dont know what package you need?
[03:19] <farky> Intelligi: I'm not sure about that, you would have to ask someone else for more detailed info about it, I just know what it does
[03:19] <mateX> Sleeping_Sloth:  yes and i m confused
[03:19] <Ares> mateX: If you don't have any connection to the pc you want to install this on, wouldn't it be impossible to use the actually client.
[03:19] <dli> Intelligi, if you just do: man badblocks
[03:20] <HackerX> *** How do i add a res to the list i did the auto thing but it didnt fint my widescreen res***
[03:20] <farky> Sleeping_Sloth: yeah im using a headset also, but it's a pain to use on an old 650Mhz, 128M ram laptop
[03:20] <w32> Grub error 21after fresh ubuntu dapper install any ideas as to why
[03:20] <mateX> Ares:  well i cant access internet cause i dont have any pptp client configured and for that i need this pptpconfig
[03:20] <w32> scsi issue maybe ?
[03:20] <dli> farky, debian can run on 128MB ram for sure
[03:20] <Sleeping_Sloth> there arent many .debs in that repository
[03:21] <bimberi> arapehl: still there?  yes the jdk is there - package sun-java5-jdk
[03:21] <Sleeping_Sloth> matex: you're running an i386 machine?
[03:21] <bimberi> !info sun-java5-jdk
[03:21] <ubotu> sun-java5-jdk: Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 5.0. In repository multiverse, is optional. Version 1.5.0-06-1 (dapper), package size 4868 kB, installed size 11548 kB
[03:21] <farky> dli: i know, it justs runs pretty sluggishly, but it is manageable
[03:21] <mateX> Sleeping_Sloth:  i dont really know
[03:21] <HackerX> minimec, what do i have to config to get kismet to run
[03:21] <Ares> mateX: Ugh, mate I don't know.
[03:21] <Sleeping_Sloth> matex: it's an AMD  XP, or an intel pentium 3 or 4?
[03:21] <Sleeping_Sloth> matex: - i386 is 32 bit
[03:22] <Sleeping_Sloth> matex: you'd know if it were 64 bot
[03:22] <rebekka> I am really sad... I dont know what to do!!!
[03:22] <farky> I'll be back in an hour or two
[03:22] <camilla> anyone know any option to liberate space ??
[03:22] <mateX> Sleeping_Sloth:  its intel pentium 4
[03:22] <dli> farky, 650MB is not slow, 128MB is the reason, so, run debian, instead of ubuntu
[03:22] <spiderworm> anyone have ffmpeg-dev in one of their repos?
[03:22] <farky_away> dli: 128Mb of ram not 650
[03:22] <Sleeping_Sloth> matex: anyway - the point is, you can download the .debs (looks like theres 2 you'll need) from the address you posted earlier, and install them locally
[03:22] <camilla> anyone know any option to liberate space ??
[03:23] <minimec> HackerX: Hmmm... Go to the Kismet website and check the /etc directory. You have to announce your wifi-card in the config file.
[03:23] <mateX> Sleeping_Sloth:  yeah i want to instal it localy
[03:23] <mateX> thats the only choice i have atm.
[03:23] <tritium> camilla: apt-get clean will clear out apt's cache of .debs
[03:23] <mateX> otherwise i would have prefered deb
[03:23] <Sleeping_Sloth> ok - so you'll need to download the relevant debs from that address. hang on a sec
[03:23] <hou5ton> When I "sudo modprobe snd-" ... it says FATAL: Module snd_ not found.   Sooooooooo, what do I do now?
[03:23] <mateX> Sleeping_Sloth:  ok
[03:24] <camilla> tritium, it will be clear the things i dont need?!?
[03:24] <combox> heh hello everyone, first day to Linux, i want to play WoW on ym Linux machine, i purchased cedega but dont know how to install it
[03:24] <tritium> camilla: nope, just what I told you, and no more
[03:24] <ADrop> hello ppl..
[03:24] <camilla> i dont understand
[03:25] <Sleeping_Sloth> matex: http://quozl.us.netrek.org/pptp/pptpconfig/pptpconfig_20060410-0_all.deb
[03:25] <Sleeping_Sloth> matex: I think that's the only one
[03:25] <tritium> camilla: it removes just the .deb files (no need to worry, they're already installed, so they're safe to remove)
[03:25] <mateX> Sleeping_Sloth:  ok thats what i thought after knowing ubuntu is a debain
[03:25] <combox> huh
[03:25] <mateX> i knew it but people here said its not a debain ..
[03:26] <camilla> thanks tritium
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !sound
[03:26] <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
[03:26] <Sleeping_Sloth> matex: well, technically it isnt
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !alsa
[03:26] <tritium> mateX: it's derived from debian
[03:26] <Sleeping_Sloth> matex: but it uses .debs - I know what you meant
[03:26] <tritium> sort of like Dr. Pepper is derived from prune juice ;)
[03:26] <mateX> ok good
[03:26] <Sleeping_Sloth> matex: so you're away on a pogo-stick, hopefully :)
[03:27] <Sleeping_Sloth> tritium: was that a jibe at ubuntu or debian? I can't stand doctor pepper!
[03:27] <mateX> yea :)
[03:27] <tritium> Sleeping_Sloth: heh ;)
[03:28] <combox> HOW do i open cedega-small_5.2.1_i386.deb this file, I know 0 about Linux
[03:28] <combox> well...anyone?
[03:29] <tritium> combox: sudo dpkg -i <foo.deb> to install it
[03:29] <combox> it just downloads it on the desktop and then using Archive manager opens it
[03:29] <tritium> combox: or, if you're on dapper, there's a gui app called gdebi
[03:29] <combox> what doeas that mean?
[03:29] <combox> lol
[03:29] <tritium> combox: which part?  :D
[03:30] <combox> im comming from Windows lol
[03:30] <combox> the line of code part
[03:30] <emilis> I followed the grub document to make a boot diskette, and when I boot from floppy, it tells me error 15: file not found... what do I do?
[03:30] <combox> where do i type that
[03:30] <tritium> combox: great, then this will only be easier!
[03:30] <tritium> combox: are you using Ubuntu Dapper?
[03:30] <combox> yeahs Ubuntu
[03:30] <tritium> combox: yes, but which version?
[03:30] <combox> the latest
[03:30] <HackerX> ***What did i do now every time i try to edit a file in the terminal its blank?
[03:30] <combox> i updated it
[03:30] <tritium> (I should say "release")
[03:31] <Luke> hey guys, what are trunk, branch, and tag dirs for with svn?
[03:31] <mateX> Sleeping_Sloth:  btw how will i install this package manual?
[03:31] <tritium> combox: then you should be able to double-click the .deb, and gdebi (an app) will help you install it
[03:31] <simpsonianbanana> does ubuntu use devfs or udev?
[03:31] <tritium> udev
[03:31] <combox> but it doesnt it opens it with Archive manager
[03:31] <tritium> Luke: that's explained nicely in the svn book (freely available, worth the read)
[03:31] <combox> then it shouw me the folders but i cant do anythign with them
[03:32] <hcjc92> okay.... mount /dev/hda2 (what mount point do i use)
[03:32] <Luke> tritium: what part? i've got it open now
[03:32] <kolaje> are there any freenode rooms that focus on display adapters?
[03:32] <tritium> combox: try right clicking, open with, and choose gdebi
[03:32] <combox> kk
[03:32] <combox> thanks
[03:32] <tritium> Luke: ah, fantastic :)  I don't recall, actually
[03:32] <Luke> tritium: i've read a lot of it - its just... huge
[03:32] <Sleeping_Sloth> matex: use dpkg
[03:32] <HackerX> *** Can anyone help me config kismet?***
[03:32] <hcjc92> oh crap, i just mounted it to /mnt, meant to mount to mnt/hda1
[03:32] <emilis> anybody can  help me with grub?
[03:33] <hcjc92> 2*
[03:33] <tritium> Luke: I know...
[03:33] <Sleeping_Sloth> matex: you'll need to install that first though
[03:33] <SAM_theman> guys i thought the radeon 9200 is supported or is it not??
[03:33] <mateX> Sleeping_Sloth:  yeah
[03:33] <mateX> !info dpkg
[03:33] <ubotu> dpkg: package maintenance system for Debian. In repository main, is required. Version 1.13.11ubuntu6 (dapper), package size 1821 kB, installed size 5424 kB
[03:33] <tritium> SAM_theman: it should be
[03:33] <Yuffster> Ok, guys... X is still crashing every time I start Dapper to install it... but this time I messed with xorg config and changed the video card to generic (vga).
[03:33] <SAM_theman> cause i am trying to help jinho
[03:33] <Yuffster> When I tried to startx, I got a black screen for a little, then a sound...
[03:33] <SAM_theman> and its not
[03:33] <Luke> tritium: well is trunk for the main code?
[03:33] <Yuffster> Followed by a text error about a wacom tablet and font errors.
[03:34] <tritium> Luke: yes
[03:34] <Yuffster> Does anyone have any ideas?
[03:34] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster:I had the same stuf - I just commented the 3 wacom lines
[03:34] <Yuffster> Do you get the font error afterwards?
[03:34] <Luke> tritium: ok thanks
[03:34] <tritium> Luke: the average user doesn't have to worry about branches and tags
[03:34] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: sorry - the 3 wacom *sections*
[03:35] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: no joy with permissions then ?
[03:35] <Yuffster> I get that and then "Waiting for X server to shutdown FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/x11/fonts/misc" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing."
[03:35] <combox> damn i cant find that programm
[03:35] <mateX> Sleeping_Sloth:  so how will i use dpkg
[03:35] <Yuffster> But the sound is reassuring... I'm probably close to getting someting to work.
[03:35] <combox> cant find gdebi
[03:36] <tritium> combox: please open Applications->Accessories->Terminal, and type "which gdebi"
[03:36] <HackerX> ***Can anyone please help me with kismet config file???***
[03:36] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: it sounds like it (no pun intended) - well, actually it was, but it was crap, so I'm disowning it
[03:36] <Yuffster> I really hope I can get Ubuntu installed sometime soon.
[03:36] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster - permissions on home were okay?
[03:36] <combox> i did nothing happened
[03:36] <Yuffster> Safe graphics mode didn't help, either.
[03:36] <Yuffster> I changed them beforehand.
[03:37] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster :/
[03:37] <combox> bash: which gdebi: command not found
[03:37] <tritium> combox: what does "lsb_release -a" tell you about the release you're running?
[03:37] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: is failsafe terminal the only thing you can run in?
[03:37] <combox> do i use the apostrafy?
[03:37] <Yuffster> Pretty much.
[03:37] <tritium> combox: no
[03:37] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: it sounds so close to the problem I was having, I'm surprised its not perms
[03:37] <combox> 5.10
[03:38] <Yuffster> Does anyone know the correct video driver for Nvidia?
[03:38] <tritium> combox: that's the problem.  That's _not_ the latest
[03:38] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: however - comment out the wacom sections in xorg.conf
[03:38] <combox> heh
[03:38] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: nvidia-glx
[03:38] <tritium> breezy doesn't have gdebi
[03:38] <Yuffster> Ah, yeah, I should try that.
[03:38] <Yuffster> Is that in the list?
[03:38] <johno> hey, has anyone got nforce5 working with ubuntu yet?
[03:38] <combox> how do i update?
[03:38] <tritium> combox: in that terminal, "sudo dpkg -i <yourfilenamehere.deb>"
[03:38] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: its in the multiverse I think
[03:38] <combox> kk
[03:38] <Yuffster> Is that online?
[03:38] <HackerX> Why wont my text editor work in the terminal???
[03:38] <tritium> !update
[03:38] <nemik> so i installed tor, privoxy and torbutton extension but my IP is still the same on whatbemyip.com. what am i doing wrong?
[03:38] <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.
[03:38] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: add the multiverse to sources.list, then apt-get it
[03:38] <HackerX> Everytime i open somthing its blank
[03:39] <Yuffster> I don't know how to use the multiverse. >_>;
[03:39] <Yuffster> Never done it before.
[03:39] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster - its in that or the universe - open your sources.list
[03:39] <combox> nope
[03:39] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster (/etc/apt/sources.list)
[03:39] <Yuffster> Where's the sources.list?
[03:39] <Yuffster> Ah.
[03:39] <tritium> combox: nope what?
[03:39] <Yuffster> What do I do in there, though? (Sorry.)
[03:39] <combox> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
[03:39] <Yuffster> I mean, the multiverse is Greek to me.
[03:40] <avalente> hello. Is there any Xubuntu Live iso?
[03:40] <Sleeping_Sloth> deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security universe
[03:40] <Sleeping_Sloth> deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security universe
[03:40] <tritium> combox: you likely didn't type it right, or didn't specify the full path the .deb file
[03:40] <Yuffster> I'm not sure if I'm online.
[03:40] <emilis> help! I created a grub boot diskette; and when booting from floppy I get Error 15: file not found..
[03:40] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: sorry, wrong line
[03:40] <combox> hmm i just retyped its name
[03:40] <Sleeping_Sloth> deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[03:40] <Sleeping_Sloth> deb-src http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[03:40] <Yuffster> I downloaded the Nvidia drivers and put them on my USB stick.
[03:40] <combox> maybe if i just upgrade
[03:40] <Yuffster> If I knew how to access them, I'd be in business.
[03:41] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: how do you connect?
[03:41] <tritium> combox: if that file is not in your current working directory, you'll have to either change to that dir, or specify the full path
[03:41] <avalente> hello. Is there any Xubuntu Live iso? Is it the xubuntu-6.06-desktop or other?
[03:41] <Yuffster> I can connect through Windows.
[03:41] <Yuffster> But I've got a LinkSys WUSB11 2.8.
[03:41] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: but you're going to need linux to connect ultimately anyway
[03:41] <Yuffster> Yeah, I know.
[03:41] <Yuffster> I figured the bridge might be easier to cross with a GUI.
[03:41] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster :p I'm not the man to help on that one
[03:42] <Yuffster> Well, and I have the LinkSys driver on my USB stick, too.
[03:42] <combox> how?
[03:42] <combox> lol
[03:42] <nemik> so i installed tor, privoxy and torbutton extension but my IP is still the same on whatbemyip.com. what am i doing wrong?
[03:42] <Jack_Sparrow> When I do lspci -v it shows my correct sound card but at the bottom says only available as root...  How do I fix that?
[03:42] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster - that may or may not be the case
[03:42] <tritium> nemik: did you configure your browser to use it?
[03:42] <Yuffster> How so?
[03:42] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: I have no experive with usb modems, although I'm sure there are plenty of howtos floating around
[03:42] <Yuffster> Yeah.
[03:42] <tritium> nemik: (be sure to read the docs in /usr/share/doc/privoxy and tor)
[03:42] <Yuffster> It might work in Dapper.
[03:43] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: well, most of what you need to do is likely text-editing anyway
[03:43] <Yuffster> It didn't work in Hoary, but I didn't get the same errors this time.
[03:43] <jpiccolo> Can i install kubuntu overtop of ubuntu?
[03:43] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: oh, as in PnP, so to speak?
[03:43] <Yuffster> PnP?
[03:43] <Zaire> anyone with an HP computer should read this http://news.com.com/2100-7355_3-6090825.html?part=rss&tag=6090825&subj=news
[03:43] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: plug and play....
[03:43] <Yuffster> Yeah.
[03:43] <foxiness> the speed of download something by or from apt-get repos , is from sleep : 143 b/s !
[03:43] <Yuffster> What's an easy way to check the 'net connection?
[03:44] <nemik> tritium: i followed a few tutorials. perhaps i need those ports open on ym rounter? but the internet still works it just shows my IP everywhere not a different ont
[03:44] <Yuffster> I tried lynx but I guess Ubuntu doesn't have that?
[03:44] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: I dont know, but I think you may be expecting a but much
[03:44] <Sleeping_Sloth> you could wget
[03:44] <foxiness> Yuffster, ping www.google.com
[03:44] <Yuffster> Ah, yeah, good idea.
[03:44] <combox> would upgrading ubuntu help?
[03:44] <Sleeping_Sloth> or do something sensible like that :p
[03:44] <combox> .
[03:44] <tritium> nemik: well, did you configure your browser to use them?
[03:44] <Yuffster> So... to recap... if the 'net works, how do I get the video card to work?
[03:44] <foxiness> Yuffster, ping www.google.com -c 3 "this better "
[03:45] <tritium> combox: help with what?
[03:45] <combox> getting that install file to work
[03:45] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: I'm almost certain it wont be working - how is it going to know your account settings etc?
[03:45] <Yuffster> True, yeah.
[03:45] <nemik> tritium: no, i used the torbutton firefox extension which should do that automatically. but before i tried confing firefox manually also and nothing
[03:45] <tritium> combox: no, you just need to specify the full path, as I said earlier
[03:45] <tritium> nemik: hmm, works here
[03:46] <Yuffster> So how do I access my USB stick?
[03:46] <combox> but what does go to that directory mean when specifying a path
[03:46] <HackerX> !!! Ok im having a really hard time setting up Kismet can anyone help me please?

[03:46] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: you'll need to mount it
[03:46] <nemik> trituim: i hear it works after a restart so i may try that now
[03:46] <Ropechoborra> Yuffster could u install Dapper ?
[03:46] <Yuffster> Could you give me the command?
[03:46] <Yuffster> No, it crashes going into the GUI.
[03:46] <Ropechoborra> the GUI ?
[03:46] <nemik> tritium: if still nothing i'll come back, thank you for the suggestions and help though
[03:46] <Yuffster> Xserver.

[03:49] <Sleeping_Sloth> ropechoborra: he's tty
[03:49] <Ropechoborra> Ops
[03:50] <hou5ton> Yuffster:  I think you do something like | less
[03:50] <Ropechoborra> Let me try
[03:50] <Broncho>  or | more
[03:50] <Broncho> :-p
[03:50] <tritium> combox: you still there?
[03:50] <Yuffster> | less?
[03:50] <Yuffster> Oh.
[03:50] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: isnt it pipe to more?
[03:50] <combox> would it look something liek this? sude dpkg -i </home/combox/Desktop/cedega-small_5.2.1_i386.deb>
[03:50] <Yuffster> I don't get those options.
[03:50] <tritium> combox: don't use the < or >
[03:50] <Yuffster> I just get the end of the list and the command prompt again.
[03:50] <Ries> maby a odd question, I do have imake, I do have gcc but I don't have make....
[03:51] <kramer_> Yuffster: like this for example -- "ls | more"
[03:51] <Broncho> pipe it through less
[03:51] <Ries> which package might contain make???
[03:51] <Broncho> as in command | less
[03:51] <kramer_> Yuffster: that would wait for you to press space to go 1 page at a time
[03:51] <tritium> combox: sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/cedega-small_5.2.1_i386.deb
[03:51] <Yuffster> So, do I append that to my command?
[03:51] <combox> k
[03:51] <foxiness> 2-letter code of your country: ??, i need a fast and stable server plz, who know one for me
[03:51] <Broncho> yes
[03:51] <Yuffster> And how do I find the device that corresponds to my USB stick?
[03:51] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: yes
[03:51] <kramer_> Yuffster: yes you append the " | less/more"
[03:51] <Yuffster> If I can get the files off there, I'll be in business.
[03:51] <Sleeping_Sloth> you could modprobe it
[03:51] <tritium> combox: the ~ is an alias for your user's home dir (/home/combox)

[03:54] <Yuffster> Where would /sys/devices be?
[03:54] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: you dont need to reboot

[03:55] <Ropechoborra> Yuffster may i ask why do u need that?
[03:55] <bulltitan> anyone?
[03:55] <kramer_> GianLuigiBuffon: I am not entirely sure how to use it, I havn't used it for wireless on Linux, so you would have to look it up online. I'm just trying to point ya in the right direction
[03:56] <Yuffster> XServer crashes immediately.
[03:56] <combox> ahaha sweet thank you so much
[03:56] <Yuffster> It never loads me to the desktop, where I'm told the install process starts.
[03:56] <Sleeping_Sloth> yuffster: you could always go straight to install

[04:02] <tritium> HackerX: dpkg -L <package name> to list files in a package
[04:02] <Rodietze> GianLuigiBuffon yes
[04:02] <Sleeping_Sloth> ardchoille: I want to install openttd on 64 bit kernel

[04:02] <GianLuigiBuffon> hey other question
[04:03] <Rodietze> yeah it is the second time firefox got it... and it looks like NVU has something to do with it...
[04:03] <Sleeping_Sloth> ardchoille: but the problem is, I need a static package to run it in linux32
[04:03] <ardchoille> Sleeping_Sloth: I'm not good with kernel stuff either
[04:03] <zcat[1] > I seem to have postfix installed already.. something that will let me access those mail file in /var/spool/mail via imap and pop3 would be nice..
[04:03] <fdelacruz> hi guys
[04:03] <tritium> SAM_theman: cut it out, right now
[04:03] <HackerX> tritium, im trying to find the config file i tryed the default location but it just opened a blank
[04:03] <GianLuigiBuffon> everytime that I update the system or something, at the end appears "E: mldonkey-server: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" doesn't break nothing but just is annoying everytime seeing that
[04:03] <Ropechoborra> rudolph try with sudo
[04:03] <GianLuigiBuffon> how can I fix it?
[04:03] <Sleeping_Sloth> rdchoille: no worries - I *think* I need to make sure this package will use no system libraries
[04:03] <tritium> HackerX: config files should be under /etc
[04:03] <SAM_theman> tritium, ok ok i was just testing you :P
[04:03] <tritium> *sigh*
[04:04] <Rodietze> how can I fix it? any idea? my homepages stills being google.com, but 1 second after looking for google, it redirects me to www.ualberta.ca
[04:04] <Ropechoborra> Rodietze delete cookies ?
[04:04] <Sleeping_Sloth> ardchoille: but I have no idea how to do that :S
[04:04] <Rodietze> Ropechoborra did it already
[04:04] <Ropechoborra> Rodietze reinstall would be an option ?
[04:05] <KaiHanari> i have ipmasq and dnsmasq installed. Ive noticed this means i have a dhcp server running now. How do i configure this server to be bound to ONLY ONE network card?
[04:05] <hyperspace> Anyone install Pentaho on Ubuntu yet?
[04:05] <Rodietze> Ropechoborra maybe I have a lot of packages that depends on mozilla
[04:05] <SAM_theman> tritium, hope your still not mad at me :P
[04:05] <zcat[1] > !imap
[04:05] <ubotu> I know nothing about imap
[04:05] <Ropechoborra> Rodietze are u shure it is spyware? it sounds more like a unwanted config to me
[04:06] <GianLuigiBuffon> everytime that I update the system or something, at the end appears "E: mldonkey-server: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" doesn't break nothing but just is annoying everytime seeing that... how can I fix it?
[04:06] <fdelacruz> guys I check my partion and found out that I need to remove a file so that i can free the disk for my new installation of package but my problem is, it seems that the partion usage is still the same
[04:06] <SAM_theman> tritium, http://weblog.janus.dk/archives/IMG_2712.JPG
[04:06] <ardchoille> Sleeping_Sloth: I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to start with kernel stuff either

[04:29] <bimberi> !webcam
[04:29] <ubotu> webcam is now easy to install on Linux; instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Webcam Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[04:29] <Ropechoborra> matex try easypart
[04:29] <h4v0k> couldnt find the pkg
[04:29] <HackerX> Kaot, Hey Thank you soo much i got it working the 2nd one i tryed worked :-)
[04:29] <Gonzo> is kubuntu that different from ubuntu? i mean whats the big deal?
[04:29] <Ropechoborra> Lol *easycam ... in kind of tired =(
[04:29] <mateX> !easypart
[04:29] <ubotu> I know nothing about easypart
[04:29] <mateX> !info easypart
[04:29] <ubotu> Package easypart does not exist in dapper
[04:30] <Ropechoborra> !easycam
[04:30] <ubotu> I know nothing about easycam
[04:30] <jackk> i want learn more about programing for linux, what should i do?
[04:30] <jackk> go some forum or read some book or 
[04:30] <kaot> HackerX: good deal.
[04:30] <sys8976> Gonzo: KDE versus Gnome
[04:30] <DerekRusso> when I try to add things to sources.list, it tells me I don't have permission
[04:30] <Gonzo> so nothing major as far as the os goes?
[04:30] <DerekRusso> how do I get permission set so I can change this?
[04:30] <arapehl> bimberi: that might explain why it still isn't working and says "plugin not found"... sigh... so I install build-essential then?
[04:30] <simpsonianbanana> !cdemu
[04:30] <ubotu> I know nothing about cdemu
[04:30] <Gonzo> people seems to be treating this like 2 different version of the same os...
[04:30] <pump> someone with a tv card?
[04:31] <sys8976> Gonzo: that is right the core is the same
[04:31] <simpsonianbanana> darg
[04:31] <Nameeater> jackk: think of a something you could do on linux then set it up, and when you run into things you dont understand, or dont work as expected, search the internet or ask in the appropriate irc channel :)
[04:31] <HackerX> kaot, Im trying to setup Kismet i have to define source=sourcetype,interface,name in the config do you know what the sourcetype is?
[04:31] <sys8976> DerekRusso: try from command line sudo gedit sources.list so then you have permissions
[04:31] <Gonzo> so... what is ubuntu called when you use it with afterstep?
[04:31] <Gonzo> :P
[04:31] <bimberi> arapehl: yes, try that first
[04:31] <DerekRusso> ok, thank you
[04:31] <Gonzo> asubuntu?
[04:31] <sys8976> Gonzo: aubuntu hehe
[04:31] <arapehl> bimberi: will it conflict/overwrite with the separate gcc I installed since it comes with it? (I'm installing it as we speak btw)
[04:31] <Gonzo> i prefer asubuntu :P
[04:32] <jackk> Nameeater, thanks
[04:32] <Gonzo> sounds eastern
[04:32] <Gonzo> :)
[04:32] <kaot> HackerX: oh boy.  Kismet  won't work for you.
[04:32] <Gonzo> kismet = unreal engine?
[04:32] <hareem> anyone know how to install chillispot on kubuntu
[04:32] <Kilopopo> hey
[04:32] <Kilopopo> hi hello
[04:32] <Gun_Smoke1> Ok... Still can not get logged in on Xchat.. i spent a good 5-10 min letting it try
[04:32] <kaot> Gonzo: no kismet = wireless network discovery
[04:32] <bimberi> arapehl: no, gcc is a dependency, it will just install build-essential and its other dependencies.  This is assuming you're using an APT tool (synaptic, apt-get ...) to install gcc
[04:32] <HackerX> Kaot, heh ok what should i use for a scanner/finder???
[04:32] <Gonzo> ok
[04:32] <Gonzo> nvm
[04:33] <kaot> HackerX: mmm... iwlist wlan0 scan.  over and over and over again.  :\
[04:33] <DerekRusso> Thanks, That worked with the sudo
[04:33] <misaki> hello, I'm trying to install the NVIDIA drivers using the instructions at http://eureka.emmgee.com/2006/05/ubuntu-606-part-2-installing-nvidia.html , but the nvidia-glx package conflicts with the the other packages i'm supposed to install (nvidia-settings, nvidia-xconfig). Can anyone help me?
[04:33] <pump> i'm fighting with a pinnacle tv card, does some one have one?
[04:33] <DerekRusso> now, would someone be able to explain to me how I can get java installed?
[04:33] <misaki> i'm very new to Linux
[04:33] <DerekRusso> I tried installing it via the wiki and didn't have any luck
[04:33] <kaot> HackerX: kismet doens't work with ndiswrapper, need bcm43xx driver, whcih barely works, sometimes, for a few cards.
[04:33] <hareem> how do you install chillispot
[04:33] <kaot> HackerX: basically you're screwed there.  sorry.
[04:33] <mDot> whats up with pastebin
[04:33] <arapehl> bimberi: yeah, I've been using apt-get... so now I have build-essential and gcc installed but the stupid thing still bombs on me and says "No matching plugin was found." Any ideas? ;)
[04:34] <dli> misaki, remove the packages: nvidia-settings, nvidia-xconfig
[04:34] <HackerX> kaot, ok so theres nothing like kismet that will work for me?
[04:34] <arapehl> bimberi: I'm trying to build a package for java_ee_sdk-5-linux.bin
[04:34] <misaki> ty, I'll try that
[04:34] <bimberi> arapehl: put the command and the error on the pastebin
[04:34] <mDot> pastebin is broken
[04:35] <kaot> HackerX: not so far as I'm aware, no.  I could be wrong but I think any app that works like that has to put a card into like "management mode" which requires a fully (or mostly) functional driver with specific capabilities
[04:35] <GianLuigiBuffon> everytime that I update the system or something, at the end appears "E: mldonkey-server: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" doesn't break nothing but just is annoying everytime seeing that... how can I fix it?
[04:35] <pump> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=209206 i'm having this problem :S

[04:36] <mateX> Ropechoborra:  how can i get easypart?
[04:36] <HackerX> kaot, hmm i thought maybe there was something that used the iwlist wlan0 scan command over and over to find it
[04:36] <simpsonianbanana> anyone ever used cdemu before?
[04:36] <mateX> and does it support micro innovatives webcams?
[04:36] <mDot> ro applies to everyone, including me
[04:36] <Ropechoborra> matex sorry, it was easycam.. see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
[04:36] <kaot> HackerX: there might be, look around.  I tried kismet first and pretty much gave up, happy the card worked at all
[04:37] <kaot> mDot: oh I see what you're saying
[04:37] <mDot> some kind of user filtering
[04:37] <HackerX> kaot, oh yea im extremely happy the card works

[04:51] <Gun_Smoke1> ah
[04:51] <kaot> mateX: /mnt/c would be the mount point for your windows partition, that's what I created for mine, you can call it whatever you want.
[04:51] <mateX> thats what i mean what drive windows c drive?
[04:51] <zammit> okay thanx =) ..btw its the alternative install b/c you need 192mb of ram for desktop correct?

[05:05] <Kibbled_bits> anybody checked it out?
[05:05] <farky> DerekRusso: open a terminal and type: lspci
[05:05] <meltdown> Hey, does anyone have any experience settin up audio on VIA hardware? I've looked everywhere, but I just can't get audio to play. I know VIA offers Linux drivers themselves, and I've alien'd the RPMs, and installed them, but nothing changes. Any suggestions?
[05:06] <h4v0k> easycam keeps hanging
[05:06] <odin_> might linux have a version of remote desktop that lets you connect to a windows comp on the same network?
[05:06] <DerekRusso> I'm having problems getting skype working, it says I don't have a sound card installed
[05:06] <meltdown> odin: VNC
[05:06] <Kibbled_bits> are you experiencing NO or POOR sound?
[05:06] <GianLuigiBuffon> ok just stupid question farky I just put all the path or I must place the inf in any place?
[05:06] <DerekRusso> my sound is fine, which is why I'm confused
[05:06] <h4v0k> it gets to the install driver part which i already did manually and it hangs
[05:06] <farky> DerekRusso: what type of sound card do you have?
[05:06] <DerekRusso> like I can play music, etc
[05:06] <DerekRusso> uh, not even sure, heh
[05:06] <DerekRusso> I have an IBM Thinkpad T40
[05:06] <mateX> kaot:  how can i run the execute *.deb file
[05:06] <Kibbled_bits> so why are you fiddling with binary drivers?
[05:06] <odin_> !tell odin_ about VNC
[05:07] <mateX> !vpn
[05:07] <ubotu> From more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD
[05:07] <Ropechoborra> root__ i do :P
[05:07] <farky> GianLuigiBuffon: just put the entire path to it. Is it a CD?
[05:07] <h4v0k> sudo apt-get install vncviewer
[05:07] <meltdown> odin_: Why? That's what you would use.
[05:07] <kaot> mateX: dpkg -i filename
[05:07] <kaot> mateX: i think.  haven't done it myself yet
[05:07] <LastExyle> arg, this is driving me insane
[05:07] <GianLuigiBuffon> nop I downloaded it from conceptronic... is in wine files just that
[05:07] <mateX> kaot:  ok thanks
[05:07] <mateX> anyone else?
[05:07] <GianLuigiBuffon> let me do it :)
[05:07] <DerekRusso> does anyone have suggestions on what I can do to get skype working?
[05:07] <mateX> how can we execute *.deb file?
[05:07] <root__> I NEED ONE PERSON THAT SPEAK SPANISH
[05:07] <kaot> LastExyle: /etc/init.d contains all the startup scripts, start there?
[05:07] <Kibbled_bits> Skype on Wine?
[05:07] <odin_> meltdown, huh?
[05:07] <kaot> mateX: you don't execute them.  try that command.
[05:08] <farky> GianLuigiBuffon: join the channel #GianLuigiBuffon
[05:08] <mateX> olk
[05:08] <DerekRusso> heh, I feel out of place.. what is Wine?
[05:08] <odin_> DerekRusso, windows emulator
[05:08] <kaot> DerekRusso: kind of a windows emulator
[05:08] <Kibbled_bits> Wine: Wine Is Not Emulator
[05:08] <DerekRusso> oh
[05:08] <farky> GianLuigiBuffon: nvm GianLuigiBuffon
[05:08] <DerekRusso> I have the linux version installed
[05:08] <Kibbled_bits> it's a Windows subsystem for Linux
[05:08] <Kibbled_bits> but it doesn't use emulation
[05:08] <DerekRusso> they had a debian packet
[05:08] <GianLuigiBuffon> oh ok
[05:08] <GianLuigiBuffon> xD
[05:08] <simpsonianbanana> What does the Wine stand for in Wine is not Emulator?
[05:09] <simpsonianbanana> :p
[05:09] <Kibbled_bits> YES  :D
[05:09] <farky> It is an open source version of the windows API
[05:09] <DerekRusso> does anyone have suggestions?
[05:09] <farky> GianLuigiBuffon: do you have an inf file for the driver?
[05:09] <kramerica> DerekRusso: It basically provides the bare bone libraries to run windows programs
[05:09] <Kibbled_bits> what's that Derek?
[05:09] <LastExyle> it just has a symlink to /etc/rc2.d/S20pure-ftpd which is the script that starts it, but Iit doesn't seem to have the startup command written in it, so I'm asuming it's stored somewhere else, I've no idea where though
[05:09] <aunes> Is there a method to test whether my wireless connection, girlfriend's computer and/or my computer are vulnerable using some sort of scanning?
[05:09] <Kibbled_bits> DEREK: I asked you, are you trying to get Skype to work within Wine?
[05:10] <simpsonianbanana> aunes: give me their IP, names and passes :p
[05:10] <meltdown> root_: no hablamos espanol.
[05:10] <DerekRusso> would someone be willing to private message to talk about this?  This room moves too fast
[05:10] <GianLuigiBuffon> farky yeah I did and I have this
[05:10] <GianLuigiBuffon> assword:
[05:10] <GianLuigiBuffon> Installing crtusb
[05:10] <GianLuigiBuffon> and it's done
[05:10] <kaot> LastExyle: hang on, installing pure-ftpd
[05:10] <aunes> simpsonianbanana: username: user, password: pass
[05:10] <user1> aunes: do you mean wireless?
[05:10] <farky> ok, not type: ndiswrapper -l
[05:10] <aunes> 127.0.0.1
[05:10] <farky> now***
[05:10] <DerekRusso> I think that skype has a linux distribution, I'm not using Wine
[05:10] <simpsonianbanana> haha
[05:10] <LastExyle> ok, thanks
[05:10] <aunes> user1: yea.
[05:10] <GianLuigiBuffon> but I go to windows wireless drivers and nothing happens... what I should do now?
[05:10] <DerekRusso> the program itself is running
[05:10] <aunes> Derek: it does.
[05:10] <farky> DerekRusson: yes it does :)
[05:10] <GianLuigiBuffon> vireless networks drives sorry
[05:11] <DerekRusso> my problem is with sound and video
[05:11] <user1> install kismet on one of your machienes
[05:11] <farky> GianLuigiBuffon: did you type: ndiswrapper -l     ?
[05:11] <GianLuigiBuffon> yeah
[05:11] <user1> then you will be able to see what you are sending out
[05:11] <farky> what did it say?
[05:11] <GianLuigiBuffon> now I can write in konsole... but I never understand that
[05:11] <GianLuigiBuffon> for what is that?
[05:12] <GianLuigiBuffon> eryana@HAPLO:~$ ndiswrapper -l
[05:12] <GianLuigiBuffon> and now I can just write there
[05:12] <farky> yes type that
[05:12] <DerekRusso> let me tell you the error I get why I try to call someone on skype
[05:12] <DerekRusso> it just says "Problem with sound device"
[05:12] <bhongong> hi, how can i kill a window that has hanged up in dapper?
[05:12] <GianLuigiBuffon> farky I did
[05:12] <farky> GianLuigiBuffon: just type ndiswrapper with no options, what does it say?
[05:13] <bhongong> hi, how can i kill a window that has hanged up in dapper?
[05:13] <Kibbled_bits> DEREK: off subject, have you tried vonage?  I've used it for over a year now great service
[05:13] <danc3> bhongong: kill <pid>
[05:13] <DerekRusso> no I haven't, is it free?
[05:13] <Kibbled_bits> I use it as my main service
[05:13] <Kibbled_bits> ...
[05:13] <bhongong> how do i list pid?
[05:13] <GianLuigiBuffon> -l                List installed drivers
[05:13] <DerekRusso> I use this primarily to video chat with my girlfriend when she's at college
[05:14] <GianLuigiBuffon> but I do and nothing appears
[05:14] <farky> Kibbled_bits: does it suck up your bandwith?
[05:14] <bhongong> or how do i know the pid of the window?
[05:14] <OnurPhp> hi
[05:14] <danc3> bhongong: ps aux
[05:14] <danc3> bhongong: or top
[05:14] <Kibbled_bits> it isn't free but it replaces your existing Phone line
[05:14] <DerekRusso> ohh, I'm a college student
[05:14] <Kibbled_bits> 29.95 local + long distance unlimited
[05:14] <snoops> DerekRusso I don't think skype for linux offers video at all
[05:14] <DerekRusso> so I don't live at a local address
[05:14] <farky> GianLuigiBuffon: then typing: ndiswrapper -l                 should show if the driver is installed correctly
[05:14] <OnurPhp> how can i install gcc ?
[05:14] <DerekRusso> snoops, it doesn't?
[05:14] <stephan__> im on dapper - 2.6.15-25-686 and im trying to install " nvidia-glx " for 686 but for some reason i cant find one for my kernel that matchs anyone know if there is one
[05:14] <OnurPhp> i have no internet connection on Ubuntu
[05:14] <Kibbled_bits> doesn't suck up bandwidth I have Cable internet, no problems here
[05:14] <odin_> OnurPhp, apt-get install gcc
[05:14] <DerekRusso> what is a good solution if I want to video chat with someone using windows, does anyone have suggestions?
[05:14] <OnurPhp> odin_,  i have no internet connection :S
[05:15] <farky> DerekRusson: skype?
[05:15] <GianLuigiBuffon> and if it doesn't appears?? My adapter is on the list of working drivers... so it should work
[05:15] <dli> DerekRusso, ekiga
[05:15] <DerekRusso> farky, someone just said skype didn't support video
[05:15] <odin_> OnurPhp, well then you're screwed ... wait, what're you doing on here then? :P
[05:15] <Kibbled_bits> Stephan have you looked within Sympatic Package Manager?
[05:15] <DerekRusso> dli, ekiga has a windows installer?
[05:15] <farky> it doesnt? oh my bad then
[05:15] <bhongong> i cant see Frostwire from the PID
[05:15] <OnurPhp> odin_,
[05:15] <odin_> OnurPhp, you can pro'lly find it on google easy
[05:15] <farky> GianLuigiBuffon: now type,   iwconfig             and tell me what it says.
[05:15] <tredlig> hmmm does ubuntu come built in with a internet browser?
[05:15] <odin_> OnurPhp, download the package and just put it over there
[05:16] <OnurPhp> but how ?
[05:16] <odin_> tredlig, yes, Firefox
[05:16] <hcjc92> this is odd (commpared to other linux's i've used) when i'm in a directory with a file tha i've compiled with g++ and i say blah (that, being the output file for g++) it say command not found, what do i have to do to make it execute?
[05:16] <farky> tredlig: yes, firefox
[05:16] <GianLuigiBuffon> lo        no wireless extensions.
[05:16] <GianLuigiBuffon> eth0      no wireless extensions.
[05:16] <GianLuigiBuffon> sit0      no wireless extensions.
[05:16] <danc3> tredlig: are you kidding?
[05:16] <tredlig> okay great
[05:16] <odin_> OnurPhp, burned CD?  flash drive?
[05:16] <tredlig> does it come built in with network card drivers?
[05:16] <zammit> anyone want to give me some quick help w/ formatting my hdd? do i use fdisk? format? is this included in the ubuntu install? i'm kinda new to this stuff
[05:16] <stephan__> Kibbled_bits: i cant get into " x "
[05:16] <DerekRusso> does anyone else have a suggestion on a video chat program that can go from linux to windows?
[05:16] <danc3> tredlig: yes
[05:16] <OnurPhp> odin_, i can do that but whats the package format ?
[05:16] <farky> GianLuigiBuffon: then something isn't working. Where are the drivers located on your system?
[05:16] <kramerica> hcjc92: say "./[programname] "
[05:16] <GianLuigiBuffon> in wine folder
[05:16] <hcjc92> oh yeah :) i forgot, lol
[05:16] <odin_> OnurPhp, I usually use .tar.gz packages
[05:16] <hcjc92> thanks
[05:16] <Kibbled_bits> ZAMMIT: yes it is, very easy just boot the disc
[05:17] <kramerica> haha np
[05:17] <kaot> LastExyle: heck i'd just start it from rc.local with whatever options you want.
[05:17] <Kibbled_bits> it will navigate you through this process
[05:17] <OnurPhp> hmm odin_  where they store ?
[05:17] <DerekRusso> if I get Wine running, can I use msn messenger on it?
[05:17] <farky> GianLuigiBuffon: do you know the full path?
[05:17] <Kibbled_bits> ASSUMING you want to blow it away  ;)
[05:17] <GianLuigiBuffon> feryana@HAPLO:~$ sudo ndiswrapper -i '/home/feryana/.wine/drive_c/Conceptronic/driver/CRTUSB.inf'
[05:17] <GianLuigiBuffon> Password:
[05:17] <GianLuigiBuffon> Installing crtusb
[05:17] <GianLuigiBuffon> feryana@HAPLO:~$ ndiswrapper -l
[05:17] <Kibbled_bits> DEREK: you don't need MSN Messsenger
[05:17] <kaot> LastExyle: I don't see an easy way to set custom options, everything is scripted with variables getting passed all over the place
[05:17] <GianLuigiBuffon> I did that
[05:17] <odin_> OnurPhp, I'm sorry, come again?
[05:17] <farky> DerekRusso: just use aMSN
[05:17] <Kibbled_bits> get GAIM, it replaces all of that
[05:17] <farky> !amsn
[05:17] <ubotu> I know nothing about amsn
[05:17] <OnurPhp> hmm odin_  where are they store ?
[05:17] <odin_> Gaim rocks
[05:17] <DerekRusso> Kibbled, I just want something that lets me video chat with someone on windows
[05:17] <OnurPhp> packages. ?
[05:17] <zammit> kibbled_bits: ubuntu will take care of the rest? i have win98 currently installed (want to get rid of it)
[05:17] <DerekRusso> that's all I care about, I don't care what it is
[05:17] <OnurPhp> /usr/bin/.. ?
[05:18] <ruxpin__> which is better to set the gnome desktop background - esetroot or hsetroot?
[05:18] <element> do you know if there is a good Palm app to sync my phone to my PC under linux?
[05:18] <LastExyle> I guess I could do that, thanks. So then do I just remove /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd and /etc/rc2.d/S20pure-ftpd to get rid of the other startup method?
[05:18] <odin_> OnurPhp, I'm sorry, but that makes no sense to me.
[05:18] <snoops> DerekRusso well, I'm pretty damn sure skype for linux does not support video like the mac and windows version do.. There was a new beta released a little while ago (like a week), and I don't think that included video support either
[05:18] <snoops> sucks really
[05:18] <odin_> OnurPhp, the packages are online
[05:18] <OnurPhp> :S
[05:18] <DerekRusso> snoops, do you know some other program that does?
[05:18] <odin_> OnurPhp, are you trying to install gcc or, find it on your system?
[05:18] <kaot> LastExyle: I'd recommend installing "bum" and removing it from startup that way
[05:18] <snoops> nope DerekRusso
[05:18] <snoops> sorry
[05:18] <OnurPhp> i tried find it my system but not found
[05:18] <LastExyle> thanks
[05:18] <user1> I need some info about ubuntu ketnal packages
[05:18] <DerekRusso> there must be some way to video chat with someone on windows
[05:18] <OnurPhp> i can't install gcc because i have no package .
[05:18] <GianLuigiBuffon> you get it farky?
[05:18] <kaot> LastExyle: or sysv-rc-conf, but bum's easier to use
[05:19] <bur[n] er_> ok... anyone know about multisync?  I think I can use this to sync my Windows Mobile device to Evolution, but I'm having a fair bit of trouble initiating the sync.
[05:19] <farky> GianLuigiBuffon: hmmm, that's odd. try typing it without the '    ' around it
[05:19] <odin_> OnurPhp, as I said, do a google search for it and then you can find a package
[05:19] <GianLuigiBuffon> ok
[05:19] <dicesquirrel> DerekRusso: I believe aMSN has video support. Double check on that, though.
[05:19] <Dial_tone> ok, gthumb imported some images from a memory card and I have no idea where it put them I don't understand this catalog business
[05:19] <DerekRusso> ok
[05:19] <LastExyle> is sysv-rc-conf command line? I'm doing this all over ssh
[05:19] <DerekRusso> let me look into this, thanks
[05:19] <user1> I have one called linux-source
[05:19] <Kibbled_bits> seriously for long distance I would siwtch to vonage
[05:19] <Dial_tone> LastExyle: yes
[05:19] <Kibbled_bits> anybody involved in any of the Ubuntu projects?
[05:19] <user1> is that the same as kernel source?
[05:19] <Kibbled_bits> I'm looking to get involved
[05:19] <snoops> DerekRusso it's one area I believe linux is really really lacking
[05:19] <Nao> hey, i just installed dapper from the desktop disc, and I have a laptop made to run in 1650*1080 resolution, but it only lets me change between three, can I add others to make it so that I can have my display look like it is supposed to?
[05:20] <GianLuigiBuffon> this is weird farky see this "crtusb is already installed. Use -e to remove it
[05:20] <GianLuigiBuffon> "
[05:20] <snoops> I guess not enough geeks want to show themselves to the other person ;)
[05:20] <farky> now type ndiswrapper -l
[05:20] <stephan__> im on dapper - 2.6.15-25-686 and im trying to install " nvidia-glx " for 686 but for some reason i cant find one for my kernel that matchs anyone know if there is one
[05:20] <Kibbled_bits> NAO: yes, etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:20] <Kibbled_bits> something like that
[05:20] <Kibbled_bits> you add a few lines to there
[05:20] <GianLuigiBuffon> nothing happens...
[05:20] <user1> any Ideas?
[05:20] <GianLuigiBuffon> feryana@HAPLO:~$ ndiswrapper -l
[05:20] <GianLuigiBuffon> i can write
[05:20] <GianLuigiBuffon> see
[05:20] <DerekRusso> I tried installing amsn and I got a problem
[05:21] <DerekRusso> can someone help me with it?
[05:21] <GianLuigiBuffon> all of that in konsole
[05:21] <Kibbled_bits> STEPHEN: are you installing the one in the package manager?
[05:21] <benplaut> hey, nalioth... you awake?
[05:21] <DerekRusso> it says dependency is not satisfyable:tcltls
[05:21] <arooni-linux> hey folks
[05:21] <zcat[1] > still looking for a simple pop3/imap server that will let me authenticate using /etc/passwd and read mail from /var/spool/mail  .. any ideas? everything I've tried wants to do it's own thing and totally ignore the existing mail system...
[05:21] <someothernick> hi
[05:21] <Kibbled_bits> hey
[05:21] <stephan__> Kibbled_bits: yes....i just did a sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx and its the wrong version
[05:21] <jmworx> Quick survey here... am I the only one for whom metacity gives focus to newly opened windows?
[05:21] <farky> GianLuigiBuffon: try unistalling ndiswrapper and reinstalling
[05:21] <GianLuigiBuffon> ok
[05:21] <GianLuigiBuffon> I just did it now from synaptics
[05:22] <GianLuigiBuffon> I'll do it again
[05:22] <DerekRusso> Could someone help me installing aMSN?
[05:22] <user1> I need some info about ubuntu ketnal packages
[05:22] <Nao> kibbled:  do you know what I need to add to allow me to have it?  I see a couple of things that look like they might be right, but I'm not positive
[05:22] <user1> I need some info about ubuntu ketnal packages
[05:22] <user1> I need some info about ubuntu ketnal packages
[05:22] <Nao> I'm very new, sorry
[05:22] <user1> is that the same as kernel source?

[05:22] <jmworx> i.e. is this a bug or a feature? https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/51242
[05:22] <danc3> user1: yes
[05:22] <user1> I need some info about ubuntu ketnal packages
[05:22] <farky> Kibbled_bits: we are already involved in the ubuntu development
[05:22] <Kibbled_bits> sorry Derek I use GAIM and I don't use video on it so I dunno if it works
[05:22] <hybrid>  /cl
[05:22] <benplaut> user1: also, don't repeat yourself over and over
[05:22] <DerekRusso> alright
[05:22] <danc3> user1: what's a "ketnal" package?
[05:22] <zcat[1] > so nobody knows?
[05:22] <user1> danc3: thanks alot
[05:23] <DerekRusso> Kibbled, do you know what the Dependency is not satisfiable: tcltls means?
[05:23] <Kibbled_bits> Farky: I'm not, how do I get involved?
[05:23] <nalioth> benplaut: what's up?
[05:23] <farky> Kibbled_bits: just talking here and helping people is being involved
[05:23] <GianLuigiBuffon> i've installed before the source, the utils and ndisgtk (all that appeared in synaptics) is that correct larky?
[05:23] <zcat[1] > why is it so hard to find a simple imap server in ubuntu?!!
[05:23] <user1> ya my spelling sucks when I type fast
[05:23] <GianLuigiBuffon> farky (sorry)
[05:23] <Kibbled_bits> sounds like your missing a dependency or have the wrong dependency... something realing to TCL TLS
[05:23] <arooni-linux> folks any ideas on my resoloution isseu?
[05:24] <Kibbled_bits> well I'm happy to help, whatever I can do
[05:24] <DerekRusso> so ow do I go about fixing that, Kibbled?
[05:24] <stephan__> exit
[05:24] <kaot> zcat[1] : you tried cyrus imap i take it?
[05:24] <Gun_Smoke1> Problem getting DVD::Rip to run.  I just installed it the way the FAQ suggested.. I ran it, but get the message that "One or several mandatory tools are missing or too old, you must install them before you can proceed with dvd::rip"
[05:24] <Gun_Smoke1> Any ideas?
[05:24] <danc3> user1: and then when you post the same thing 12 times, you don't think to correct it?
[05:24] <benplaut> nalioth: can you approve me for #freenode-social? been waiting a while, didn't know you were a freenode op
[05:24] <Nao> does anyone know what to add to xorg.conf to add more options for resolution?
[05:24] <Kibbled_bits> Derek: Where are you installing this from?
[05:24] <zcat[1] > cyrus imap wants to set up it's own mail directory and it's own users and everything...
[05:24] <nalioth> benplaut: you are off topic here, sir (better to /msg me)
[05:24] <DerekRusso> a mirror site from aMSN's site
[05:24] <Kibbled_bits> yes it's well documented there's a few sets of lines that you need to add
[05:24] <tredlig> by what i'm reading ubuntu doesn't support my network card? its a VIA VT6103 built in to my motherboard
[05:24] <Dial_tone> arooni-linux: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver.xorg
[05:24] <Kibbled_bits> it's on the Ubuntu WIKI
[05:24] <kaot> well the thing about imap is i think it has to set up its own directories anyway.  that's just how it works.
[05:25] <Kibbled_bits> but if you look at the file you will see the pattern
[05:25] <arooni-linux> Dial_tone: nothing changes if im running ubuntu through vmware right?
[05:25] <DerekRusso> does anyone here use aMSN?
[05:25] <Gun_Smoke1> Yes
[05:25] <farky> GianLuigiBuffon: there should just be one thing to install: ndiswrapper-utils
[05:25] <zcat[1] > I alresady have postfix. I have mail in /var/spool/mail. I want an imap server that can authenticate against /etc/passwd and read mail from /var/spool/mail/
[05:25] <Jenkens> hrm
[05:25] <DerekRusso> Gun Smoke, you saying yes to me?
[05:25] <danc3> tredlig: are you asking someone here to do your research for you?  Look up the motherboard yourself.
[05:25] <mateX> kaot:  i guess *.deb need to be compiled and installed
[05:25] <Dial_tone> arooni-linux: we'll both know when you're done
[05:25] <GianLuigiBuffon> ok
[05:25] <Gun_Smoke1> DerekRusso:  Yes
[05:25] <Jenkens> even though i set update-alternatives x-window-manager to something other than metacity, gnome and metacity still pop up? did I do something wrong
[05:25] <DerekRusso> Gun Smoke, how didy ou get it installed?
[05:26] <kaot> zcat[1] : does it have to be imap?  can't just use pop?
[05:26] <farky> GianLuigiBuffon: run: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils      in the console
[05:26] <arooni-linux> Dial_tone: heres the error i got : /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: xserver.xorg is not installed
[05:26] <kaot> zcat[1] : qpopper if it doesn't have to be imap
[05:26] <zcat[1] > pop or imap or both...
[05:26] <arooni-linux> Dial_tone: heres the error i got : /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: xserver.xorg is not installed
[05:26] <zcat[1] > \I would prefer imap and pop.

[05:27] <DerekRusso> how do I get around these?
[05:27] <mateX> kaot:  not yet i was searching about the cam.
[05:27] <mateX> cam driver i mean
[05:27] <dpeach> DerekRusso: they have support groups for those with dependency problems.
[05:27] <farky> simpsonianbanana: if you have the right drivers, then yes
[05:27] <arooni-linux> Dial_tone: so do you know how i can get this file you suggested ? xserver.xorg ?
[05:27] <zcat[1] > anyone? a package name? A howto?
[05:27] <dpeach> user1: you're welcome.
[05:27] <DerekRusso> dpeach, where are they located?
[05:28] <kaot> zcat[1] : first off forget imap.  that's overkill for what you want.
[05:28] <Gun_Smoke1> dpeach:  lol
[05:28] <simpsonianbanana> farky, what drivers would I need for a sony?
[05:28] <hcjc92> what terminal command does one use for to make a new folder
[05:28] <danc3> zcat[1] : what are you talking about?
[05:28] <kaot> zcat[1] : try qpopper.
[05:28] <mateX> kaot:  they have suggested for a .deb file to be compiled and install see this: http://pcburn.com/article.php?sid=493

[05:28] <dpeach> DerekRusso: they also have groups for all kinds of other dependency issues.

[05:29] <DerekRusso> no one has suggestions on how to get aMSN working?
[05:29] <danc3> DerekRusso: no
[05:29] <arooni-linux> Dial_tone: you still there?
[05:29] <dpeach> DerekRusso: I have nothing of value to add. I am here for the entertainment of it all.
[05:29] <danc3> DerekRusso: use a real IM client
[05:29] <GianLuigiBuffon> supported is I've founded on the list and I downloaded the same of the list...
[05:29] <DerekRusso> danc3, I want to use video chat with someone on windows
[05:29] <GianLuigiBuffon> but I'll take a look again
[05:29] <DerekRusso> do you have suggestions on what I could use?
[05:29] <simpsonianbanana> DerekRusso, what's the problem?
[05:29] <GianLuigiBuffon> thaks very much for your time farky :)
[05:29] <danc3> DerekRusso: convert them to linux
[05:29] <simpsonianbanana> I compiled and installed from osx
[05:29] <DerekRusso> I am trying to find something to use video chat with
[05:29] <odin_> Gaim has webcam support, right?
[05:30] <DerekRusso> my girlfriend will not be able to use linux at all
[05:30] <simpsonianbanana> You need Tcl/Tk
[05:30] <zcat[1] > how do I make qpopper answer port 110 after I've installed it? there's no /etc/init.d or anything?
[05:30] <danc3> DerekRusso: why not?
[05:30] <farky> GianLuigiBuffon: anytime. I'd be happy to help you with any other problems you may have
[05:30] <DerekRusso> she won't want to try and figure it out
[05:30] <arooni-linux> can someone help me get my resoultion to 1024x768?
[05:30] <Kibbled_bits> thing is that the package manager should install it already
[05:30] <arooni-linux> sorry i mean 1280 x 1024
[05:30] <Kibbled_bits> arooni: what version?
[05:30] <GianLuigiBuffon> same here (but I guess you are an expert :P)
[05:30] <danc3> DerekRusso: so figure it out for her, just let her click away
[05:30] <Jenkens> even though i set update-alternatives x-window-manager to something other than metacity, gnome and metacity still pop up? did I do something wrong?
[05:30] <odin_> arooni-linux, System >> Preferences >> Screen Resolution
[05:30] <DerekRusso> she won't want to change her computer over, I know it
[05:31] <DerekRusso> it's not worth trying to convince her
[05:31] <DerekRusso> I just want to video chat wit her
[05:31] <danc3> DerekRusso: get a new girlfriend
[05:31] <rockzman> can someone tell me where is default fonts directory?
[05:31] <arooni-linux> odin_: i dont see the correct resolution listed (1280 x 1024)
[05:31] <farky> GianLuigiBuffon: I don't know if I would say I'm an expert
[05:31] <snoops> and she shouldn't have to either DerekRusso.. best I can suggest until skype supports video in linux is to dual boot with windows or have a windows pc for it
[05:31] <snoops> or mac
[05:31] <user1> how far away is she?
[05:31] <odin_> arooni-linux, you might have to check /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:31] <farky> DerekRusson: if you are so destined then break the rules and use windows
[05:32] <DerekRusso> yeah, I'll proably end up dual booting with windows
[05:32] <tredlig> what is the best version of vnc availible for ubuntu?
[05:32] <danc3> I can't take this any more
[05:32] <danc3> this channel is truly amazing
[05:32] <rockzman> odin_: where is default font directory?
[05:32] <danc3> buh bye
[05:32] <DerekRusso> well thanks for the help guys
[05:32] <arooni-linux> odin_: i edited the /etc/x11/xorg.conf file to include '1280x1024' but i dont see any changes
[05:32] <DerekRusso> I hae some more questions but I have to go to bed
[05:32] <GianLuigiBuffon> well I know little thinks of dapper, I request more help that I give... but well in time will be different :P
[05:32] <DerekRusso> I'll be back, heh
[05:32] <GianLuigiBuffon> things
[05:32] <arooni-linux> odin_: and i also tried loggin out and back in (control alt backspace) with no results.... should i need to restart?
[05:32] <odin_> arooni-linux, did you try deleting the other resolutions so that it has to default to it?
[05:33] <farky> tredlig: there is a terminal server installed with ubuntu, just enable it under settings somewhere, and connect to it with vnc viewer, or remote terminal client
[05:33] <odin_> arooni-linux, oh yes, definitely restart
[05:33] <arooni-linux> odin_: ok thanks
[05:33] <arooni-linux> brb
[05:33] <odin_> arooni-linux, always restart after such things
[05:33] <rockzman> farky: yo tell me default fonts directory please.

[05:39] <hcjc92> nevermind
[05:39] <odin_> rockzman, I once knew, but I've never had to use it.  there is something called find that searches recursively through directories, see if you have it
[05:39] <vskye> jrt - you might want to try aprs software.
[05:39] <farky> HackerX, I have seen some, but I don't know where to find them. I'll do some googling.
[05:40] <rockzman> odin_: well i use openbox its just a custom menu that is why i would have to know this utility what name has the program

[05:45] <bimberi> varsendaggr: yes, right-click on them, you'll need to Unlock them if they're locked,  then you can right-click->Move them
[05:45] <odin_> varsendaggr, no prob, just wondering

[05:48] <combox> kk
[05:49] <Kibbled_bits> ChrisC: try using VLC Media pLayer
[05:49] <ChrisC_> does anyone know how to get mplayer playback to double in size? (scale)
[05:49] <ChrisC_> Menu -> double size doesn't do it
[05:49] <combox> link?
[05:50] <Kibbled_bits> Chris have you tried VLC Media Player instead?
[05:50] <silentread> @combox go into terminal , sudo apt-get install wine
[05:50] <ChrisC_> ugh, yet another player
[05:50] <menisk> is there a java plugin for firefox on ubntu?
[05:50] <silentread> use suns
[05:50] <Kibbled_bits> Chris VLC is the most widely accepted media player
[05:50] <Kibbled_bits> does audio & video of all types
[05:50] <Jenkens> anyone have a good guide to getting truetype fonts to work in X?
[05:51] <Kibbled_bits> even windows format, i ncluding quicktime
[05:51] <vskye> ChrisC_ - try Xine. (apt-cache search xine)
[05:51] <ChrisC_> dang, I thought mplayer was, that was why I went for it it when I gave up on Totem
[05:51] <varsendaggr> Kibbled_bits, no... mplayer is   look at freashmeat.net
[05:51] <Gun_Smoke9> I have a single button mouse (on an old iMac) what can I do to be able to right click?  I looked around on the FAQ and wiki, looked through the keyboard/keyboard shortcuts, and the mouse options.. I can't figure it out..
[05:51] <Kibbled_bits> Linux Format mag rated VLC Media player the best
[05:51] <Kibbled_bits> through personal experience I'd agree with it
[05:51] <issy> VLC is pretty cool, but I haven't used it that much
[05:52] <tredlig> what is the major difference between the server release and the desktop release?
[05:52] <zcat[1] > this is really pissing me off. Is there a single simple imap or pop3 server in ubuntu that just ties in with the existing local mail system and doesn't want to set up a complete multidomainldapauthenticatedwholenewmailsystem instead?
[05:52] <Kibbled_bits> of Ubuntu?
[05:52] <Kibbled_bits> the GUI I believe is the biggest difference
[05:52] <zcat[1] > just one? anything?
[05:52] <Kibbled_bits> server has fewer bells & whistles
[05:52] <Gun_Smoke9> issy: I used to use it when I ran OSX.. Loved it.
[05:53] <ChrisC_> thanks Kibbled_bits
[05:53] <Kibbled_bits> zcat
[05:53] <tredlig> hmmm k
[05:53] <kaot> man.  i really don't remember going through that much suffering setting up a pop server
[05:53] <Kibbled_bits> you want the mail system to simply use existing user accounts, without LDAP right?
[05:53] <zcat[1] > qpopper didn't install anything that I could tell.. nothing in /bin or /sbin or anwhere that remotely looked like a server, nothing in /etc/init.d/ to start a server.. nothing.
[05:53] <kaot> then again i did it on slack.
[05:54] <Kibbled_bits> yea qpopper should do it
[05:54] <zcat[1] > Kibbled_bits: existing users in /etc/passwd/ existing mail in .var.spool/mail. Yes
[05:54] <zcat[1] > ok, after I install qpopper how tdo I make something listen on port 110 ?
[05:54] <Gun_Smoke9> I have a single button mouse (on an old iMac) what can I do to be able to right click?  I looked around on the FAQ and wiki, looked through the keyboard/keyboard shortcuts, and the mouse options.. I can't figure it out..
[05:55] <Kibbled_bits> well qpopper is the pop dameon
[05:55] <GianLuigiBuffon> larky with -l stills not working... what was the other command?
[05:55] <ChrisC_> if I already have lots of codecs for mplayer, will I need to download and configure them (read: pull hair out) again for a VLC install on the same machine?
[05:55] <Kibbled_bits> since 110 is the default port it should be automatic
[05:55] <zcat[1] > well it wasn't....
[05:55] <Kibbled_bits> ChrisC: you are good to go  :)
[05:55] <zcat[1] > I installed it. Nothing happened. I couldn't find any executable called pop3d or qpopper or anything with pop in it anywhere on the system.
[05:56] <zcat[1] > or anything that might start it.
[05:56] <tvgm2> is there any way to disable the SHIFTx2+backspace shortcut?
[05:56] <Kibbled_bits> it's there, try to setup a mail client to it
[05:56] <Kibbled_bits> I mean it could be there
[05:56] <zcat[1] > telnet localhost 110.. something should answer, right? the port's closed.
[05:57] <zcat[1] > on all interfaces. I tried from outside too..
[05:57] <Kibbled_bits> okay
[05:57] <Kibbled_bits> is it installed?
[05:57] <Jenkens> k
[05:57] <Kibbled_bits> do you see it in Synaptic?
[05:58] <Jenkens> nobody knows how to do truetype fonts in ubuntu? gotta add the fonts and set up xfstt?
[05:58] <zcat[1] > I got frustrated and removed it again. Hang on I'll reinstall it.
[05:58] <kaot> zcat[1] : I had a pop server run through inetd a long time ago
[05:58] <Jenkens> !xfstt
[05:58] <ubotu> I know nothing about xfstt
[05:58] <GianLuigiBuffon> farky stills the same omg
[05:58] <Kibbled_bits> anybody here tried EDUBUNTU?
[05:59] <Evilscientist> SUCCESS MOTHER F'ERS!!! :)
[05:59] <silentread> isnt edubuntu the same thing except with different bundled software
[05:59] <zcat[1] > I've had pop servers and imap in the past that I just had to install. THey started. They authenticated against local users. They read my mailspool. It's not rocket sciences. Why does ubuntu make this so damn hard?!!!
[05:59] <GianLuigiBuffon> this pc is weird because a similar stuff happens with a game on wine... must work but not to me doing the same with gides and help
[05:59] <Kibbled_bits> yea, educational software
[05:59] <Evilscientist> got my samba pdc purring like a kitten!
[05:59] <Kibbled_bits> great
[05:59] <charleseddy> k, i installed in oem mode and then accidentally deleted the acct. from my main acct; main acct has less admin privs.  any way to get them back without an acct. that can access admin prefs or should i reinstall
[05:59] <Kibbled_bits> PDC>..... you mean Primary Domain Controller?
[05:59] <Evilscientist> now I did something silly that I want to undo....can someone answer the following..
[05:59] <zcat[1] > ok, qpopper's isntalled. Nothing's answeering port 110
[05:59] <Evilscientist> kibbled...yes
[06:00] <combox> so now how do i open a file with it?
[06:00] <majd> there's no way to install the graphical ubuntu from a server cd?
[06:00] <zcat[1] > how do I start it? reboot like goddamn NT server?
[06:00] <Evilscientist> ...once xubuntu is installed....can it be uninstalled short of reformat?
[06:00] <silentread> @combox, open terminal, type wine <path to file>
[06:00] <combox> kk
[06:00] <tonyyarusso> Evilscientist: Installed in addition to Gnome you mean?
[06:01] <Evilscientist> no...installed base dapper...then installed xubuntu with apt-get
[06:01] <zcat[1] > anyone?
[06:01] <Evilscientist> is there a way to undo that....
[06:01] <Kibbled_bits> zcat... yes you can and as someone mentioned prior...
[06:01] <Cornellius> Is there any good amaroK-like for Gnome ?
[06:01] <zcat[1] > how do I get a list of the files this package just isntalled?
[06:02] <Kibbled_bits> I'm familiar with it on FreeBSD where it runs under the inetd dameon
[06:02] <charle97> cornellius, use amarok
[06:02] <tonyyarusso> Evilscientist: If you installed it with aptitude there would be, but with apt-get, while possible, it's quite difficult/time-consuming to do so.
[06:02] <Cornellius> charle97: I want something that uses Gstreamer
[06:02] <Evilscientist> meh...no biggy....I can live with it on there..it's not like it is a big system.
[06:02] <kaot> Kibbled_bits: ah so I wasn't imagining that it ran under inetd
[06:02] <Kibbled_bits> try System >> Administration >> Services
[06:02] <kaot> must have been the same under slack
[06:03] <zcat[1] > Kibbled_bits: I'm ssh'ed in, there's no gui stools installed. It's a server.
[06:03] <kaot> I'm getting a headache just thinking about what i'd have to do to get it back up tho
[06:03] <kaot> ugh
[06:03] <Kibbled_bits> oh gotcha
[06:03] <cntb> now on liveCD, how do I  start text install from liveCD UBUNTU6, new all-onboard intel -ati102 and UBUNTU liveCD gives only upto 640x480 res., so most install buttons invisible even on 8 pts font
[06:03] <majd> there's no way to install the graphical ubuntu from a server cd?
[06:04] <Evilscientist> yes there is I believe majd
[06:04] <Kibbled_bits> I don't know, majd you could have installed Desktop on a server
[06:04] <Evilscientist> apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[06:04] <Kibbled_bits> although you should be able to apt-get what you need
[06:04] <ardchoille> majd: I would think that sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop would take care of that
[06:04] <majd> ardch
[06:04] <combox> says it could not find Mozilla in the right place
[06:04] <tonyyarusso> majd: After the fact with an internet connection there is, sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop.  I don't think you can get the full system of packages just from the CD though.  Alternate CD, yes, not server.
[06:04] <Evilscientist> lets not everyone answer at once! :)
[06:04] <zcat[1] > I don't want a gui desptop. Is there something I can start or edit or respawn to make it start pop3d?
[06:05] <vskye> zcat: try this.. http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=qpopper&version=dapper&arch=i386
[06:05] <sysrpl> hello
[06:05] <cntb> (07:03:15) cntb: now on liveCD, how do I  start text install from liveCD UBUNTU6, new all-onboard intel -ati102 and UBUNTU liveCD gives only upto 640x480 res., so most install buttons invisible even on 8 pts font . pls help
[06:05] <zammit> hii
[06:05] <Evilscientist> I would think there are some advantages to a gui on a server....
[06:05] <cntb> !text-install
[06:05] <ubotu> I know nothing about text-install
[06:05] <Evilscientist> ...in a glance....with little typing you can see what the fubar is going on.
[06:05] <varsendaggr> zcat[1] , do you need an xserver?
[06:05] <silentread> downloading drivers for ur ati card would fix ur resoulation problem
[06:05] <zcat[1] > not when the server is in a bsement in the middle of town and doesn't even have a keyboard or screen.
[06:05] <combox> hmmm it cant find it in the right place for its libraries...
[06:06] <sysrpl> how do i make a symoblic link into a symbolic link to a shell script? ... in my file browser it's displaying as an unkown file type
[06:06] <majd> tonyyarusso, but it will install everything i need? (synaptic, gnome...) ?
[06:06] <varsendaggr> majd, it should
[06:06] <majd> varsendaggr, k..t.hanks i'll try it now
[06:06] <sysrpl> i used sudo ln -s /etc/855resolution /etc/rc5.d/S45915resolution
[06:06] <cntb> silentread: that was for me?
[06:06] <zcat[1] > I don't want an x server or a GUI, I want an imap server that works.
[06:06] <tonyyarusso> majd: Yeah, ubuntu-desktop has all of those in it's dependencies.  You can apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop to see them for yourself.  (I think there's even a switch to show dependencies recursively)
[06:07] <zcat[1] > or even pop3, but I would prefer imap.
[06:07] <ardchoille> majd: ubuntu-desktop is just a meta package that pulls in all other packages needed for a proper desktop
[06:07] <delmar> zcat[1] , sourier
[06:07] <Kibbled_bits> what BitTorrent clients does everyone use?
[06:07] <delmar> zcat[1] , courier* even
[06:07] <varsendaggr> i have no idea what a imap is
[06:07] <Kibbled_bits> I like Azereus but I get these popups that won't go away  :@
[06:07] <Kibbled_bits> IMAP is an internet mail protocol
[06:07] <Kibbled_bits> more advanced than POP
[06:08] <cntb> but silent thread Iam on live CD how do I start text install
[06:08] <zcat[1] > this is really pissing me off. Is there a single simple imap or pop3 server in ubuntu that just ties in with the existing local mail system and doesn't want to set up a complete multidomainldapauthenticatedwholenewmailsystem like courier wants to instead?
[06:08] <zcat[1] > .. and actually works?
[06:08] <technel> Anyone have any nice Ubuntu-compatible music tagging programs they would recommend? I used MusicBrainz Picard over on the Windows side and it worked well, but I was wondering if there is anything that works better for Linux
[06:08] <sysrpl> anyone?
[06:08] <Kibbled_bits> qpopper should work for you
[06:08] <delmar> Kibbled_bits, download the latest version and install manually to wherever... ie /home/blah/apps/azereus
[06:08] <Kibbled_bits> stick with it
[06:08] <Kibbled_bits> there's another one though
[06:08] <tonyyarusso> varsendaggr: It's an e-mail protocol, common in situations like school accounts where you're actually leaving the mail on the system, not downloading it, so it's accessible from anywhere, even after you read it.
[06:08] <delmar> Kibbled_bits, qpopper is crap
[06:08] <ardchoille> technel: I like easytag
[06:08] <tvgm2> does amarok or vlc have a media library better than rhythmbox?
[06:09] <Kibbled_bits> how's KTorrent?
[06:09] <CptAJ> hey guys, could someone help me with mounting my ntfs partitions for write access? I did what was on the wiki and it didnt work
[06:09] <Evilscientist> so I have a silly question....if you want to tranfer files (like for backup) between a windows client and dapper server....what should you format the drive as, ntfs, ext3?  does it matter?
[06:09] <tonyyarusso> technel: Someone I talked to once used quod libet, but I'm not very familiar.
[06:09] <tonyyarusso> (I think that was the name)
[06:09] <Kibbled_bits> CAT: try popa3d
[06:09] <technel> ardchoille, Do you have to manually type the stuff in or can you use an online database?
[06:10] <Kibbled_bits> it's a smaller simpler pop3 daemon
[06:10] <combox> #mozilla
[06:10] <kaot> ooh hey popa3d forgot about that one
[06:10] <ardchoille> technel: *that* I don't know cuz I never needed such a thing. However, easytag may well have such capabilities
[06:10] <kaot> in fact i think that's the one i settled on
[06:10] <technel> tonyyarusso, ardchoille, Alright, thanks -- I will check out those applications!
[06:10] <Evilscientist> anyone??
[06:10] <ardchoille> technel: you're welcome
[06:11] <stpere> Evilscientist, linux can't write to NTFS
[06:11] <zcat[1] > YAY!!! popa3d's the winner!!
[06:11] <Evilscientist> stpere...so it should be ext3 regardless?
[06:11] <combox> what channel could help me with installing ActiveX for Mozilla on Ubuntu 5.1??
[06:11] <Steven_M> hi all
[06:11] <kaot> well done Kibbled_bits
[06:11] <Kibbled_bits> that's not true, I believe it can write to NTFS
[06:11] <ardchoille> technel: easytag homepage: http://easytag.sourceforge.net/
[06:11] <CptAJ> Evilscientist: make it ext3, you can upload from windows regardless
[06:12] <Kibbled_bits> I know Knoppix is at least capable of this
[06:12] <Evilscientist> cool.
[06:12] <zcat[1] > thanks all.. sorry to be so grumpy but this has really been bugging me.
[06:12] <technel> ardchoille, Yep, found it, thanks :)
[06:12] <ardchoille> :)
[06:12] <Kibbled_bits> I would try to mount the NTFS partition
[06:12] <sys8976> how goes it all?
[06:13] <Evilscientist> why is that?
[06:13] <combox> can anyone point me in the direction of someone who knows about installing AciveX for Mozilla
[06:13] <Kibbled_bits> have a good day Cat  :)
[06:13] <sys8976> combox: are you talking in linux?
[06:13] <zcat[1] > AciveX ? :0
[06:13] <combox> yeah
[06:13] <Kibbled_bits> it's okay we've all faced that frustration before
[06:13] <combox> Ubuntu
[06:13] <combox> 5.1
[06:13] <sys8976> combox: you should be able to go into tools-extisions and get more and get it from there
[06:13] <combox> Mozilla aciteX controll
[06:13] <tvgm2> if it's mounting the partition on logon, try unmounting and re-mounting in a terminal with the ntfs-fuse syntax
[06:14] <Kibbled_bits> I think that only works in Windows
[06:14] <Kibbled_bits> cuz that has windows hooks (ActiveX controls)
[06:14] <Kibbled_bits> however IE 5.x will work under Wine
[06:14] <sys8976> combox: I use opera more secure so dont use it, Kibbled_bits yea but the active x ext is a xpi so it should still install
[06:14] <Kibbled_bits> I know some people are doing that
[06:14] <Steven_M> what's the name of gnome's default consonle app?
[06:14] <delmar> OK so i'm doing an install from the Dapper install CD, chose "Server" ... it's failing to install the base system, "unable to instal the selected kernel"  Kernel package 'linux-386'.    This is the latest Dapper alternative CD, verified and undamaged, and for the second time it's failing to install the kernel at this point during the install.  Is this a known issue? whats going on here?
[06:14] <ardchoille> Steven_M: gnome-terminal
[06:14] <tonyyarusso> Steven_M: gnome-terminal
[06:14] <Kibbled_bits> doesn't mean it will work
[06:14] <CptAJ> so? no one is up for helping me out with my ntfs read access problem?
[06:15] <sys8976> Kibbled_bits: you are right with that 100%
[06:15] <CptAJ> *write access that is
[06:15] <silentread> mounting to ntfs = bad idea
[06:15] <tvgm2> cpt, if it's mounting the partition on logon, try unmounting and re-mounting in a terminal with the ntfs-fuse syntax
[06:15] <delmar> CptAJ, dont write to ntfs. BAD
[06:15] <Kibbled_bits> at the API level, remember ActiveX = Active Template Library (ATL)
[06:15] <tvgm2> it's pretty reliable
[06:15] <sys8976> CptAJ: what the issue, you can use diskmounter to get it to read but right now there isnt a stable ntfs write tool out there
[06:15] <Evilscientist> okay....got that.
[06:16] <Evilscientist> now.....how do I set up a share directory so windows client can write to it, includin setting up directories.
[06:16] <CptAJ> I was using the process explained in the wiki
[06:16] <combox> can u explain that plz
[06:16] <K^Holtz> I'm currently running updates, and it seems like its stuck at "Setting up capplets-data (2.14.2-0ubuntu1) ...   Does this usually take a long time to install?
[06:16] <CptAJ> how unstable can it be?
[06:16] <Evilscientist> I assume that is a mask level in smb.conf
[06:16] <Kibbled_bits> EVERYONE: for you guys wanting to do all this Windows stuff on Ubuntu, why not install VMWare (free edition) and install XP on that
[06:16] <silentread> it can take quite a while updating
[06:16] <sys8976> CptAJ: enough to were you can lose the data completely
[06:16] <Kibbled_bits> then you could setup a share to it or use IE in it and the monster is somewhat contained
[06:16] <combox> huh?
[06:17] <Kibbled_bits> this is my next project VMWare on Ubuntu
[06:17] <kaot> Kibbled_bits: there's a free edition?
[06:17] <roostishaw> anyone, how can i change the address that was assigned to my comp by my router?
[06:17] <Kibbled_bits> yes
[06:17] <sys8976> combox: just a question why are you needing axtive x in linux anyway?
[06:17] <kaot> shoot had i known that i'dhave it already
[06:17] <CptAJ> oh well, guess I wont do it then
[06:17] <Evilscientist> kibbled....need native windows on my xp client for science analysis programs.
[06:17] <combox> lol World of warcraft
[06:17] <combox> im using cenega
[06:17] <Steven_M> could a person running Kubuntu install gnome-terminal without installing gnome?
[06:17] <Kibbled_bits> Evil: they should run find through VMWare
[06:17] <sys8976> combox: here read this I am doing it right now while I chat http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=120615
[06:17] <tonyyarusso> Steven_M: You could do it without installing all of gnome, but you'd need some gtk libraries.
[06:18] <Tloric> I"m sure its been asked a half million times, but i'm having trouble finding the answer on the net. My dapper wont keep my domain name and DNS servers for more than 30 seconds. Where is a fix?
[06:18] <Kibbled_bits> I think so
[06:18] <Evilscientist> these are very picky programs that are essential....not going to risk it....
[06:18] <ardchoille> Steven_M: my question is why do you want gnome-terminal? Konsole not working for you?
[06:18] <roostishaw> anyone, how can i change the address that was assigned to my comp by my router?
[06:18] <kaot> Tloric: are you setting something different than what you're getting via dhcp?
[06:18] <Evilscientist> still....if I want to be able to write directly from windows client to server drive...how do I set that up?
[06:18] <rak_> hey i'm having a little problem... i started ubuntu just now and my resolution is very small (640x480) and i can't change it with the gui apps, it's acting like the graphics card drivers aren't working or something actually happened to the graphics card (probably the former) any ideas?
[06:18] <Kibbled_bits> VMWare is a very professional high end company if you guys have busines critical stuff they have high end products to meet those needs
[06:18] <delmar> Great... the Dapper alternative CD install is broken..... MD5sum mismatch for the damn kernel modules package.   GRRRRR
[06:19] <silentread> is ur graphics card ati?
[06:19] <menisk> can someone help me install sun java on dapper
[06:19] <Evilscientist> I want to be able to drag and drop files from windows to linux server
[06:19] <rak_> yeah
[06:19] <ardchoille> !fixres > rak_
[06:19] <silentread> ati has terrible driver support
[06:19] <roostishaw> anyone, how can i change the address that was assigned to my comp by my router?
[06:19] <stpere> Evilscientist, someone said Samba before?
[06:19] <Evilscientist> using samba
[06:19] <combox> yeah Ati 700 XT
[06:19] <sys8976> menisk: one sec i get you the link
[06:19] <combox> x700
[06:19] <Evilscientist> samba pdc set up and working.
[06:19] <Steven_M> ardchoille: konsole conflicts with midnight commander.
[06:19] <Kibbled_bits> menisk, Java is installed myd efault
[06:19] <Kibbled_bits> I'm almost positive
[06:20] <sys8976> menisk: https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net/ubuntu-dev.html here
[06:20] <Evilscientist> set up share directory as network drive....but can't drag and drop
[06:20] <silentread> to properly display ur resolution, use 3rd party drivers for ur graphics card
[06:20] <Kibbled_bits> Free edition of VMWare: http://www.vmware.com/products/server/
[06:20] <ardchoille> Steven_M: gnome-terminal will have a ton of deps. You might want to try urxvt first as it doesn't have many deps
[06:20] <Kibbled_bits> both Windows & Linux versions available
[06:20] <menisk> sys8976, i have tried to install the sun java package from synaptic but its not there
[06:20] <tonyyarusso> What's the difference between lossy compression (OGG) and lossless compression (FLAC)?
[06:20] <zcat[1] > hmmm.. i still really want imap :(
[06:20] <combox> i dont have a Windows CD
[06:21] <londondave> hi guys, now why would ueagle-atm module suddenly start working?
[06:21] <sys8976> menisk:  have you done the universe changes in syn yet?
[06:21] <zcat[1] > tonyyarusso: "loss"
[06:21] <kaot> zcat[1] : unless you have a legitimate need for imap, you probably don't really want it.
[06:21] <Kibbled_bits> zcat then get an imap daemon  ;)
[06:21] <kaot> zcat[1] : you might *think* you want it
[06:21] <silentread> try the fglrx drivers for ati
[06:21] <menisk> sys8976, yes
[06:21] <kaot> zcat[1] : but then you'll get it, and wish you hadn't.
[06:21] <kaot> trust me
[06:21] <kaot> :\
[06:21] <sys8976> menisk: which browser?
[06:22] <zcat[1] > kaot: there are things imap handles that pop3 doesn't. Folders,etc.
[06:22] <menisk> sys8976, wait up i missed a few thigs in the repositories
[06:22] <kaot> zcat[1] : that's what your mail client is for :\
[06:22] <snoops> tonyyarusso think of lossless like compressing your music track.. you can uncompress a compressed file and it'll be the exact same as it was originally. You can uncompress say lossy format too, but it will be different, quality will be lost
[06:22] <sys8976> menisk: :D
[06:22] <Tloric> Kaot, its just not keeping the DNS server info or my home network's domain.  otherwise everything's fine.
[06:22] <roostishaw> anyone, how can i change the address that was assigned to my comp by my router?
[06:22] <zcat[1] > and it does a better job of leaving mail on the server.
[06:22] <tonyyarusso> snoops: Ah
[06:22] <Anony> roostishaw, ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.111
[06:22] <kaot> zcat[1] : ssh in and use pine  :P
[06:22] <sys8976> Tloric: what is your server machine that is running the setup?
[06:23] <zcat[1] > pop3 is a pain when you have several computers that you might want to access mail from.
[06:23] <Anony> roostishaw, You can also use the network-admin feature in the gui
[06:23] <combox> so what do i do with this VMWare???
[06:23] <Steven_M> ardchoille: ok thanks
[06:23] <si1> hello :) room : I have a big problem with Ubuntu
[06:23] <Tloric> dont understand the question sys.
[06:23] <sys8976> combox: vmware will not run wow sorry
[06:23] <combox> hehe kk
[06:24] <si1> I uninstalled dhcp3  and I don't know how to reinstall it
[06:24] <menisk> sys8976, found it :)
[06:24] <snoops> tonyyarusso whether you can tell the difference it the hot topic for debate of course... I think flac is a great archiving format, and ogg more of an 'on the go' type thing
[06:24] <menisk> thanks
[06:24] <sys8976> Tloric: you say your server what os is your server? what is handleing your domain info to your machine
[06:24] <combox> but Cedega will
[06:24] <sys8976> menisk: welcome
[06:24] <combox> and i ahve t but my wow patcher keeps screwing up
[06:24] <combox> it says i need activeX controller ofr mozilla
[06:24] <sys8976> combox: did you see that link I sent
[06:24] <combox> yeah reading it
[06:24] <tonyyarusso> snoops: Trying to figure out what to convert my WMA music to.
[06:24] <combox> how do u unninstall wine
[06:25] <combox> it says to do a complete wipe
[06:25] <sys8976> combox: here take this link download and then install it through the transgaming http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/MozillaControl1712.exe?download
[06:25] <Trajan> I noticed Ubuntu 6x does not include SMP download options. Are multi processors automatically detected?
[06:25] <si1> where can I deb packages of dhcp3-client along with dependencies
[06:25] <misaki> I'm trying to get WINE working (new to Linux), when I type `winecfg' it gives me this message: "Application tries to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
[06:25] <misaki> Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly."
[06:25] <misaki> When I type `echo $DISPLAY' it gives me ":0.0"
[06:25] <sys8976> combox:  dont do that if you are paying for transgaming lol it will jack it all up
[06:25] <Kibbled_bits> Trajan: I believe so
[06:25] <dr_willis> i dont recall running winecfg
[06:25] <cntb> found Ubuntu 6.06 Alternate Install CD . hope will solve me 640x480 res problem on neww intel-ati102 board -all onboard, where to find drivers and how to ID board from within liveCD?
[06:25] <misaki> I just finished installing NVIDIA drivers, it seems to be working (i got the splash screen), is this related to the $DISPLAY problem?
[06:25] <Trajan> Kibbled: Thanks.
[06:26] <Tloric> Sys8976: nothing is right now except the network manager.  Which wont keep the settings longer than 30 seconds.
[06:26] <combox> huh
[06:26] <cntb> system-config-hal works in fedora not here
[06:26] <Kibbled_bits> any programmers here?
[06:26] <combox> still has that library not found problem
[06:26] <Kibbled_bits> I'm a programmer looking to help on the Ubuntu project
[06:26] <sys8976> Tloric: so you have just a router in the loop>?
[06:26] <silentread> what probject
[06:26] <zcat[1] > tonyyarusso: flack is lossless but about half the size of the original WAV, ogg is very good quality and much smaller. Converting from a lossy format to anything else is generally not a good idea, but if you're going to do it I'd suggest ogg.. no point wasting the space on a lossless format when the information has already been lost.
[06:26] <squiggly> flac **
[06:26] <combox> how do u install through transgaming
[06:26] <sys8976> combox: you are gettting a transgaming error?
[06:27] <silentread> does ur project have a website?
[06:27] <Tloric> sys8976: If i understand the question, Yes.
[06:27] <misaki> well I'm supposed to try to install the Mozilla ActiveX thing using wine, and I get the same error message
[06:27] <Evilscientist> basic question what are directory mask and create mask?
[06:27] <sys8976> combox:  the same way you would install a game
[06:27] <thompa> anyone know why my spellchecker now has dissapeared from openoffice?
[06:27] <dr_willis> combox,  let me guess.. xlibs ?
[06:27] <Kibbled_bits> misaki: that won't work
[06:27] <Kibbled_bits> cuz that's the Linux Mozilla
[06:27] <sys8976> Tloric let me think a min
[06:27] <Kibbled_bits> install Mozilla through Wine
[06:27] <squiggly> what do you need a spellchecker for
[06:27] <Trajan> Anyone know the easist way to determine if Ubuntu server is taking advantage of multi processors?
[06:27] <si1> will XGL work on integrated intel855 graphic chipsets ?
[06:27] <Kibbled_bits> then activeX for that instance of Wine
[06:27] <Kibbled_bits> does that make sense?
[06:28] <sys8976> misaki: you need to install the xlib packages
[06:28] <misaki> why do I get an error message about $DISPLAY when I try to run winecfg?
[06:28] <zcat[1] > Trajan: /proc/ should show more than one cpu ?
[06:28] <misaki> but yes, I'll do that with Mozilla
[06:28] <sys8976> misaki: cause you installed wine without the xlib pacjages
[06:28] <Trajan> Zcat: Thanks
[06:28] <sys8976> packages
[06:28] <si1> will XGL work on integrated intel855 graphic chipsets ?
[06:28] <thompa> it was just there before and now even the langauge setting is gone
[06:28] <misaki> do I need to reinstall then?
[06:28] <combox> im using cedega and um...
[06:28] <sys8976> Tloric: what version linux you using
[06:28] <rockzman> can someone help me? i need to know why everytime i try to compile a gkrellm plugin i receive the same error
[06:29] <sys8976> misaki: yes uninstall wine install xlib then reinstall wine
[06:29] <combox> i clicked install and selected the path to the exe file
[06:29] <misaki> kk thanks
[06:29] <Tloric> sys8976: Ubuntu dapper
[06:29] <zcat[1] > Trajan: cat /proc/cpuinfo I think will be what you're looking for
[06:29] <combox> uduntu 5.1
[06:29] <sys8976> combox: ok then what?
[06:29] <Tloric> lateset
[06:29] <si1> will XGL work on integrated intel855 graphic chipsets
[06:29] <sys8976> Tloric: ok checking something
[06:29] <combox> then nothing
[06:29] <rockzman> can someone help me? i need to know why everytime i try to compile a gkrellm plugin i receive the same error
[06:29] <combox> it created a wine foled but nothing in it
[06:30] <Trajan> Zcat: You are a gentleman and a scholar but not neccesarliy in that order.
[06:30] <ardchoille> rockzman: pastebin the error: http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org
[06:30] <thompa> openoffice gets wobbly with text sometimes too when typing
[06:30] <rockzman> ardchoille: roger :)
[06:30] <rockzman> roger that
[06:30] <combox> lol i keep needing to isntall stuff to make me install mroe stuff
[06:30] <thompa> i think maybe memory hole in OO
[06:30] <Gun_Smoke9> I can't get the non-free repository selected.  I check the box, and click add.  But if I go back, it is unselected again.. What gives?
[06:31] <sys8976> combox: try $sudo wine MozillaControl1712.exe  and see what it does that shuold install it
[06:31] <sys8976> should
[06:31] <zcat[1] > Gun_Smoke9: that's just bad UI.. it's been added. The dialog shows suggested options, not what's currently enabled.
[06:32] <sys8976> Tloric: what do you see when you clikc system-administration-networking
[06:32] <sys8976> click
[06:32] <Kibbled_bits> gotta run
[06:32] <Kibbled_bits> NITE guys
[06:32] <Evilscientist> so let me rephrase this...
[06:32] <combox> wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\MozillaControl712.exe": Module not found
[06:32] <sys8976> Kibbled_bits: later
[06:32] <rockzman> ardchoille: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17306
[06:32] <Trajan> The amount of people in this room is striking. I guess Ubuntu is really as popular as it appears.
[06:32] <Evilscientist> ...how do I give windows permission to write to my linux dirves
[06:32] <Tloric> sys8976: Normal network manager that i've been using.
[06:32] <Evilscientist> drives*
[06:33] <thompa> openoffice doesnt work
[06:33] <sys8976> combox: ok take that exe file and put it in that dir and run again
[06:33] <Dial_tone> name another decent bittorrent client
[06:33] <zcat[1] > Trajan: or really hard to use, perhaps :)
[06:33] <Kibbled_bits> COMBO: are you installing this for the win32 or linux Mozilla?
[06:33] <combox> lol well so far nothing has worked in Ubuntu for me
[06:33] <Trajan> nice
[06:33] <Kibbled_bits> because it matters, Wine isn't going to see your linux Mozilla
[06:33] <sys8976> Tloric: so it shows your nic and that its active?
[06:33] <zcat[1] > lots of people looking for help....
[06:33] <Tloric> sys8976: eth0 is active
[06:33] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] :  Well then I am having problems finding flashplugin-nonfree which is supposed to be in that one.. But when i run a search is shows it isn;t there.??
[06:33] <CptAJ> whats a good text based browser I can use?
[06:33] <Gareth> combox, the power cord is plugged in right? :P
[06:33] <zcat[1] > Gun_Smoke9: did you refresh?
[06:33] <Kibbled_bits> flash works
[06:33] <Gareth> CptAJ, lynx
[06:33] <sys8976> Tloric: ok and when you click props it is showing config as dhcp?
[06:33] <Kibbled_bits> shockwave doesn't
[06:34] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] :  Yes.
[06:34] <Tloric> sys8976: Yes.
[06:34] <Trajan> Zcat: I thought this was the "people's OS"? What does this say about other distrbutions?!
[06:34] <rockzman> ardchoille: i couldnt paste the whole file
[06:34] <Kibbled_bits> there is a Flash install for Linux
[06:34] <sys8976> Tloric: kk still digging one sec
[06:34] <zcat[1] > hmm.. odd.
[06:34] <Tloric> sys8976: and its enabled.
[06:34] <combox> lol
[06:34] <combox> yeah
[06:34] <max__> hmmm
[06:34] <combox> how do i get there
[06:34] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] :  Shockwave doesn't show either.
[06:34] <Kibbled_bits> Trajan what is your point?
[06:34] <rockzman> ardchoille: i just follow gkrellm plugins instructions "make"
[06:34] <combox> Computer ->?
[06:34] <zcat[1] > there's no shockwave plugin for linux :(
[06:34] <rockzman> ardchoille: this is part of the error i receive
[06:35] <sys8976> combox: $cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/
[06:35] <Kibbled_bits> no shockwave for linux
[06:35] <sys8976> Tloric: click cancel out of there and then click the host tab up top
[06:35] <ardchoille> rockzman: there's an analog clock for gkrellm in the repos. Open synaptic and do a search for gkrellm.. there's a bunch of plugins there.
[06:35] <Trajan> I wish Real Player would shrivel up and die already
[06:35] <rockzman> ardchoille: oh really?
[06:35] <zcat[1] > there should be a flash-nonfree though.
[06:35] <Kibbled_bits> agreed Trajan
[06:35] <ardchoille> rockzman: as for your error, I don't know, I don't get those errors when I compile
[06:35] <rockzman> ardchoille: thank ya
[06:35] <Gareth> Trajan, it has to buffer before it does that
[06:35] <ardchoille> rockzman: you're welcome
[06:35] <sys8976> Tloric: do you have localhost and ip6 located in there?
[06:35] <rockzman> ardchoille: i understand
[06:35] <Tloric> sys8976: yes i do.
[06:36] <Gun_Smoke9> Oops.. I meant Java.
[06:36] <Trajan> We'll be waiting foever then
[06:36] <zcat[1] > is this i386 or amd64? there's only flash-nonfree for i386 ..
[06:36] <Kibbled_bits> Flash works on FireFox/Linux
[06:36] <Gun_Smoke9> Ahh... I am AMD
[06:36] <Kibbled_bits> I'm on it right now
[06:36] <Steven_M> I can't find that terminal on the dapper repos
[06:36] <zcat[1] > that explains it :)
[06:36] <sys8976> Tloric: ok for giggles can you open a terminal and type ifconfig and pastbin what it puts there and send me link so I can see that?
[06:36] <Trajan> We'll still have the spyware to deal with after Real Player departs this earth
[06:36] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] :  So what about the Java?
[06:36] <sys8976> !pastebin > Tloric
[06:36] <ardchoille> rockzman: I use gkrellm-alltraxclock2 for an analog clock in my gkrellm, works great
[06:36] <Kibbled_bits> REAL SUX
[06:36] <Kibbled_bits> NITE ALL
[06:37] <Trajan> nite
[06:37] <Kibbled_bits> for real this time  ;)
[06:37] <Gareth> damn you can do that sys8976?  (the piping thing, I mean) useful!
[06:37] <zcat[1] > most people end up running i386 on their 64 bit systems because all the nonfree stuff only works that way :(
[06:37] <sys8976> Gareth: :D yes
[06:37] <Gareth> zcat[1] , it'd make much more sense to run i686
[06:37] <K^Holtz> What the command to install xchat? sudo apt-get intall xchat-gnome?
[06:37] <CptAJ> Gareth: Uh, could you elaborate a little? where do I get it? how do I install it?
[06:37] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] :  Yeah I would like to.. But this is a free machine for me to experiment and learn linux on.
[06:38] <Trajan> Good night all. Thanks for the help.
[06:38] <Gareth> CptAJ, you should be able to go "gksudo apt-get install lynx" and have it install (and then run it with the command lynx afterwards)
[06:38] <zcat[1] > hafta use the gpl flash and java then ..
[06:38] <CptAJ> Gareth, trying that, thanks
[06:38] <combox> bash: /home/combox/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/: is a directory
[06:38] <combox>  lol
[06:38] <freaks> hey i think i've found a bug in Ubuntu ...
[06:38] <DShepherd> freaks: havent we all
[06:38] <combox> i understand what i ahve to do i just dont know how lol
[06:39] <zcat[1] > Gun_Smoke9: I think you'll probably have problems with wine too :)
[06:39] <freaks> anyone want to try? here it freeze the system, or crash X
[06:39] <Tloric> sys8976: Its on another machine so cant past it here. Right now its holding the right address and mask.  (wouldnt hold a connection long enough for me to get on irc with it).
[06:39] <ardchoille> DShepherd: lol
[06:39] <rockzman> ardchoille: u were right mate thanks again
[06:39] <james_> does anyone in here know how to configure a wxga laptop screen to switch to 1280x800 resolution? the forums mention using a package called '855resolution' which is not in my repos. i can get '915resolution', though...
[06:39] <ardchoille> rockzman: hope you find what you need there :)
[06:39] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] :  i don't even know what that is yet.. i've only been runing ubuntu for two daysnow
[06:39] <james_> will '915resolution' do just as well?
[06:39] <zcat[1] > !wine
[06:39] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:39] <K^Holtz> What is the command to install xchat? sudo apt-get intall xchat-gnome?
[06:40] <J231> ive just done sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop, how do i run xubuntu-desktop?
[06:40] <DShepherd> james_: what cared is it?
[06:40] <K^Holtz> !xchat
[06:40] <ubotu> I know nothing about xchat
[06:40] <sys8976> Tloric: ok thought that but thought maybe we could get that info so I could try to help  :D
[06:40] <DShepherd> card*
[06:40] <dr_willis> !apt-get > K^Holtz
[06:40] <kaot> I got wine to run pokerstars.  mission accomplished as far as wine goes.  hehe
[06:40] <Tloric> sys8976: Dont suppose there's a way to turn off ip6 and go to ip4?  I seem to remember the last release worked just fine with that.
[06:40] <sys8976> J231: try to reboot
[06:40] <james_> DShepherd: i'm not sure lol
[06:40] <james_> DShepherd: it is an intel
[06:40] <J231> sys8976: alright
[06:40] <K^Holtz> !apt-get xchat
[06:40] <ubotu> I know nothing about apt-get xchat
[06:40] <sys8976> Tloric: havent learned that yet sorry :)
[06:40] <Cornellius> K^Holtz: sudo apt-get install xchat or sudo apt-get install xchat-gnomw
[06:40] <ardchoille> J231: log out, select xfce as your desktop, then log back in
[06:40] <Cornellius> *gnome
[06:40] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] : From the FAQ
[06:40] <Gun_Smoke9> Some websites require the Java plugin for Mozilla Firefox. To install the java plugin, install the sun-java5-plugin package (for i386 machines) or the j2re-1.4-mozilla-plugin package (for amd64 machines) from the Multiverse repository.
[06:40] <kale77in> I'm seeing acroread (7.0.1) throw "**Gtk-WARNING** Cannot open display" when it's supposed to be running in command-line mode with '-toPostScript'. Nothing on the Adobe site about it. Any ideas appreciated.
[06:40] <kaot> Tloric: remove ipv6 support from teh kernel, probably
[06:41] <combox> grr
[06:41] <arooni-linux> hey folks, im having trouble getting full screen resolution. host: winxp pro laptop w/ max resolution 1280x800. guest: ubuntu linux dapper. i'd like to throw up the ubuntu window at 1280 x 1024 on my lcd monitor. i have tried editing /etc/x11/xorg.conf and inserting the "1280x1024" monitor resolution with no luck.... any ideas?
[06:41] <kaot> I remember having to do that with gentoo, kept slowing my net down trying to resolve ipv6 names
[06:41] <K^Holtz> Cornellius: whats the difference?
[06:41] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] :  i couldn't even find the one for amd
[06:41] <zcat[1] > I've given up trying to get wine to run IE.. I have it running Windows mozilla with the flash8 and shockwave plugins though
[06:41] <silentread> arooni: do u have an ati graphics card?
[06:41] <Cornellius> K^Holtz: The frontend. Install both and see which one you like most
[06:41] <DShepherd> james_: me not sure either then.. have you tried to reconfigure the xserver?
[06:42] <zcat[1] > It's definately wloeer than linux mozilla and breaks all the launch feedback and stuff too
[06:42] <zcat[1] > *slower
[06:42] <james_> DShepherd: no.... the instructions i read call for the package '855resolution', but i can't find that package
[06:42] <sys8976> arooni-linux: you will have about 15 different levels in xorg did you catch which one is set to default? mine was set to default 24 and that is the one I edited and it worked
[06:42] <charlesJacobs> is there a way to turn off my touch pad? I don't need it when I'm using a mouse
[06:42] <DShepherd> james_: hmmm have you tried to reconfigure the xserver?
[06:43] <DShepherd> james_: or am I talking gibberish to you
[06:43] <zcat[1] > Gun_Smoke9: the i386 install will run fine on amd64 and will give you a lot more options...
[06:43] <arooni-linux> sys8976: i believe my default is 24 as well.. i tried 1) adding in a 1280x1024 option and trying to select it from system=>display prop etc.. and 2) eliminating all other options (crashed it and i had to restore from a backup file i made)
[06:43] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] :  Thanks, I'll give it a shot now..
[06:44] <james_> DShepherd: no, from what i have read from people with the exact same laptop, i will need that package in order for it to work
[06:44] <lucaz> Hello, does anyone know if there is a app like apple's dashboard for linux?
[06:44] <DBO> DShepherd, you here?
[06:44] <Anony> Would someone mind helping me get my sound working?
[06:44] <james_> i wish i just knew what repo i was missing
[06:44] <J231> a reboot didnt fix.
[06:44] <DShepherd> DBO: hey
[06:44] <sys8976> arooni-linux: what you have to do (or I did and it worked) is after the 1024x768 add in front of that 1152x864 and then the 1280x1024 the make sure you :qw (if you are using vi) so it saves it then it should flicker and make it right
[06:44] <DShepherd> DBO: xgl...
[06:44] <DBO> DShepherd, I finished that script
[06:45] <si1> can I install xgl in a intel855 integrated chipset
[06:45] <sys8976> lucasvo: yes and no if you have a 3d enabled vid card you can get something like that
[06:45] <J231> ive just done sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop and rebooted, but how do i "start" it?
[06:45] <combox> hmm why is it that Ubuntu runs in to problems installing everything
[06:45] <Anony> The sound card is an nm256AV in an omnibook 4150
[06:45] <arooni-linux> sys8976: so its like "1152x864"  "1280x1024"  "1024x768"  ?
[06:45] <zcat[1] > it sucks that windows is so far behing linux though :)
[06:45] <zcat[1] > *behind
[06:45] <sys8976> lucasvo: but if you like the widgets then opera will give you that
[06:46] <si1> combox : select session before login in GDM
[06:46] <sys8976> arooni-linux: no 1280 then 1152 then 1024 then 800 etc
[06:46] <lucaz> sys8976: talking to me?
[06:46] <arooni-linux> sys8976: ok then can i do control alt backspace to have these settings refreshed?
[06:47] <sys8976> lucaz: no sorry wasnt
[06:47] <combox> im trying to install Wine so i can install AciveX for Mozilla so i can run and update ...
[06:47] <si1> how do I install a package when I don't have internet connection ??
[06:47] <zammit> my ubuntu installation is freezing at "mounting root file system" help?
[06:47] <sys8976> arooni-linux: as soon as you write the file and quit it should refresh if not then yes
[06:47] <lucaz> :)
[06:47] <orbin> lucaz: is that the launcher bar on the bottom?
[06:47] <arooni-linux> ok
[06:47] <arooni-linux> sys8976: ok let me try this
[06:47] <sys8976> arooni-linux: kk
[06:47] <j23a> ive just done sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop and rebooted, but how do i "start" it?
[06:47] <lucaz> orbin: yes, I'm looking for something like that..
[06:47] <K^Holtz> Cornellius: it says that it cant find package xchat
[06:47] <orbin> j23a: choose xfce from the sessions menu at login
[06:48] <Cornellius> j23a: Where you type your username and password
[06:48] <j231> ok thanks :)
[06:48] <orbin> lucaz: gdesklets has a launcher bar
[06:48] <j231> thanks guys, cya =)
[06:48] <Lyrasen> config question here under breezy... I'm using aoss for what it's intended to, but the sound I get is somehow hashed. I've read that what could solve this problem, is to redefine the fragment size oss uses in /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss ... this file is actually empty, so I have no idea of which syntax to use, could anyone point me to an example?
[06:48] <Cornellius> j231: Go into session, and choose XFCE
[06:48] <lucaz> orbin: will check it..thanks..
[06:48] <delmar> Thats just GREAT. Where is the 'badblocks' command to check a device for bad blocks?
[06:48] <delmar> The damn Dapper alternative install fails, and u cant do a badblocks check. DUH

[06:50] <Anony> oops
[06:50] <si1> hi
[06:50] <Anony> HackerX, If you live outside the US try using automatix
[06:50] <racarter> is there a way to prevent root from logging in directly?
[06:50] <orbin> !restricted > HackerX
[06:51] <HackerX> I live in the us, why does that made a differnce?
[06:51] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] :  I just tried to grab the it... It still can not be located..
[06:51] <zammit> any ubuntu gurus here?
[06:51] <hephaestus> racarter ... it is disabled by default
[06:51] <Ropechoborra> My webcam is connected, but when i try to preview with Camorama it says to check te connection... what could it be?
[06:51] <cyphase> can someone add a "Download File" option in the Nautilus "File" menu?
[06:52] <cyphase> it can already download links you drag from firefox
[06:52] <HackerX> orbin ?
[06:52] <Luke> is there a way I can select to use the security update kernel image vs. the current kernel image?

[06:53] <efox> hey
[06:53] <ardchoille> efox: hi
[06:53] <arooni-linux> sys8976: so i tried putting 1280 1152 1024 in that order, and now when i restarted it, i could only select 1024x768 as my max.... any other ideas?
[06:53] <efox> is there a command u can enter to upload something to a site...? similiar to wget..but..opposite
[06:53] <Anony> efox, ftp?
[06:54] <bimberi> Luke: when you update kernels from the repositories, there are usually entries in the grub menu that allow you to boot from the old ones
[06:54] <bimberi> *one(s)
[06:54] <Luke> bimberi: i want to boot form the newer one by default
[06:54] <Luke> bimberi: for some reason it is not default
[06:54] <sys8976> arooni-linux: what vid card do you hvae?
[06:54] <sys8976> have*
[06:54] <efox> Anony: it COULD be, it could be anything. So long as i can back my data online, thats what im looking for. I found some online storage sites, rapidshare or megashare etc...but is there such a command ?
[06:54] <Cornellius> efox: Get gFTP, connect to the ftp site in question and upload the files
[06:55] <si1> can I install xgl in a intel855 integrated graphics chipset
[06:55] <HackerX> What the command to download again?
[06:55] <sys8976> apt-get
[06:55] <efox> Cornellius: possible to use terminal for this...
[06:55] <bimberi> Luke: ok, have you modified /boot/grub/menu.lst at all ?  It is usually set to boot from the first entry and new entries are added to the top of the list
[06:55] <dli> si1, yes, but very slow
[06:55] <Anony> efox, I understand you are looking for a program that will use HTTP style uploads, but I dont think such a thing exists
[06:55] <arooni-linux> sys8976: well i have a mobile intel 945GM express schipset family adapter (built in i think its just built in)..... and im runnin ubuntu linux thru vmplayer (host os is winxp pro)
[06:56] <Luke> bimberi: nope i have not modified it
[06:56] <sys8976> arooni-linux: ahh ok so do you have the vmware tools installed?
[06:56] <efox> Anony:  booo =(  ok..i guess ftp would be the way to go
[06:56] <si1> Dli : thanks
[06:56] <arooni-linux> sys8976: indeed i do
[06:56] <Anony> efox, Do you have an FTP server in mind?
[06:56] <ardchoille> efox: check out wput .. it's in the repos
[06:56] <Anony> Woa there is a wput
[06:56] <HackerX> whats the command to download off the unbuntu server thing?
[06:56] <Anony> Thats awesome
[06:56] <ardchoille> efox: wput - A tiny wget-like ftp-client for uploading files
[06:57] <Anony> HackerX, apt-get
[06:57] <HackerX> thanks
[06:57] <Anony> ardchoille, oh wait its an ftp client?
[06:57] <sys8976> arooni-linux: I havent messed with the player but I did run it under straight vmware workstation adn I couldnt get past that either,,,I have a 6600 128mg card and vmwares tools so didnt help, once I flushed drive and installed without vmware then ubuntu saw my card and edited it there and all is good
[06:57] <ardchoille> Anony: yes
[06:57] <efox> ardchoille:  nice ! I will look into it. Thanks !
[06:57] <technel> I am running Ubuntu and Azureus. Any time a Warning pops up in the corner, when I put my mouse over thie Hide button it highlights, but I can't click it! It won't go away :(
[06:57] <ardchoille> efox: you're welcome :)
[06:57] <arooni-linux> sys8976: i also have vmware workstation installed.... could that help me
[06:58] <bimberi> Luke: hmmk.  Put it on a pastebin.
[06:58] <arooni-linux> ?
[06:58] <Jesse> hey i was wondering how large is the upgrade for 5.10 to the latest version?
[06:58] <Cornellius> Anony: He just needs a terminal FTP client
[06:58] <sys8976> arooni-linux: vmware is limited on what it can and cant do so I would have to say no
[06:58] <Cornellius> Anony: I don't know any since I use gFTP though
[06:58] <Anony> Cornellius, "ftp" is a command line ftp client
[06:58] <Anony> I use it all the toime
[06:58] <arooni-linux> sys8976: ah do you use something else instead?
[06:58] <Anony> Cant STAND gftp
[06:58] <Luke> bimberi: i dont even seem to have aone have a menu.1st
[06:58] <Anony> The tab paths are terrible
[06:58] <arooni-linux> for your vmmingness?
[06:59] <Luke> bimberi: dont have one*
[06:59] <sys8976> arooni-linux: no I formated my 60g drive and installed on it straight I no longer use windows :D
[06:59] <arooni-linux> sys8976: ahh gtocha
[06:59] <Cornellius> Anony: I know, but via a terminal ftp client he'll be able to upload his files to the server in question
[06:59] <arooni-linux> runnning linux & windows side by side at once on one box is pretty compelling though
[06:59] <Anony> Cornellius, oic, good point
[06:59] <orbin> technel: known bug.  try pinging void^ or just ask in #azureus
[06:59] <sys8976> arooni-linux: now you can try bochs I think it is let me get link from what I read you can do more in it
[07:00] <arooni-linux> bochs?
[07:00] <bimberi> Luke: /boot/grub/menu.lst  ?
[07:00] <sys8976> arooni-linux: http://bochs.sourceforge.net/
[07:00] <technel> orbin, #azureus is dead (as usual), what do you mean ping void^?
[07:00] <bimberi> Luke: note that the first character in lst is lowercase L
[07:00] <orbin> void^: ping
[07:00] <Luke> bimberi: doesnt exist
[07:00] <technel> void^, ping
[07:01] <technel> orbin, What is supposed to happen?
[07:01] <sys8976> arooni-linux: I havent tried that one, cause I got mad a vmware and just flushed system lol
[07:01] <sys8976> arooni-linux: but I have read a lot about it and they say you can edit more things than what you can in vmware so worth a shot if you are bored :)
[07:01] <orbin> technel: he's supposed to answer if he's active.  obviously he's not.  i'm sure there's a forum topic on it @ ubuntuforums.org
[07:01] <arooni-linux> sys8976: appreciate your help
[07:02] <Jesse> hey i was wondering how large is the upgrade for 5.10 to 6.06?
[07:02] <sys8976> Jesse: best to flush and do a clean install but the upgrade (guessing here) is bout 1g if you install all options
[07:03] <Jesse> sys8976, dang :( i was downloading the iso before it got to 400 then died and i can't continue it
[07:03] <sys8976> Jesse: oh the download the iso is less than 700mg cause it will fit on 1 cd

[07:07] <Nao> hey, does anyone know anyway for me to use my trackpad on my laptop, but to turn off tapping?  like when you briefly tap the pad and it acts like clicking?  I'm on dapper, with a synaptics pad
[07:07] <dreamcatcher5172> i wish i had a logfile to look at....i dont quite remember
[07:07] <Jesse> sys8976, now lets pick a mirror that won't die on me
[07:07] <dreamcatcher5172> i changed alot of themes
[07:08] <sys8976> Nao: sorry havent learned that one yet (the reason I asnwered is I hate asking something and not getting an answer :)
[07:08] <Nao> haha, thanks
[07:08] <ideogram> Did I say I love ubuntu today?
[07:08] <sys8976> Jesse: cool I welcome you to get it installed the more the happier we are and billy is not :D
[07:08] <Ropechoborra> Some client for MSN ?? (not gaim or aMSN)
[07:08] <sys8976> ideogram: no you didnt but I love ubuntu as well :D
[07:08] <bimberi> Luke: did you see that last post from me? the first character in lst is lowercase L
[07:09] <orbin> ogami: i used the officials in dapper and it broke apt.
[07:09] <sys8976> Ropechoborra: that is about all your stable choices you have :(
[07:09] <dreamcatcher5172> is there a .deb file to look for to make sure?
[07:09] <ogami> orbin: :(
[07:09] <ogami> i havent even tried running dapper yet
[07:09] <Jesse> sys8976, yeah i wish i could totally get rid of windows but i can't i just like my games to much
[07:09] <orbin> ogami: ubunut's ati and fglrx drivers both work though
[07:10] <ideogram> luckily I don't play games anymore
[07:10] <orbin> for me.
[07:10] <ogami> hmm
[07:10] <sys8976> dreamcatcher5172: you can do $cd into the dir where they went then do ls |grep *.deb and see
[07:10] <ideogram> but I still dual-boot XP just in case
[07:10] <orbin> ogami: ymmv
[07:10] <b00gz1> how do I install a wireless PCMCIA card if I plug it in after it is booted up without rebooting?
[07:10] <sys8976> Jesse: that was my issue wow addict here lol but I am tired of the crap so I am working on wine and all to make it happen :)_
[07:11] <Jesse> ideogram, this year gaming front was cold but next year the games lineup looks sweet
[07:11] <dreamcatcher5172> cant i reinstall a pragram that controls that aspect?>
[07:11] <sys8976> b00gz1: try killall gnome-panel worth a shot :D
[07:11] <ideogram> what looks good?
[07:11] <Jesse> sys8976, yeah wine seems alright but to save the hassle of teaching my family to use new software ill just leave windows there
[07:11] <ideogram> isn't there something from Will Wright?
[07:12] <cef> ideogram: I've got a windows XP install on this machine. I think when I upgraded from Hoary to Breezy it got removed from my boot menu. I'm now running Dapper, and still haven't needed it, so I haven't re-added it to grub. I really should at some stage and do a Windows Update at least. *grin*
[07:12] <sys8976> dreamcatcher5172: you can try to do sudo apt-get upgrade(s) and see
[07:12] <sys8976> Jesse: I hear ya I am single so no worries lol
[07:12] <b00gz1> sys8876 :(
[07:12] <jldugger> is the GNOME debconf frontend broken at the moment?
[07:13] <jldugger> oh
[07:13] <sys8976> b00gz1: that is a reboot for gnome without having to reboot the system
[07:13] <jldugger> nevermind
[07:13] <jldugger> just logged into a remote machine =(
[07:13] <Jesse> sys8976, :( ten hours, 13,
[07:13] <b00gz1> sys8976 oh I thought you were joking none the less it didn't work
[07:13] <sys8976> Jesse: aacckk
[07:13] <b00gz1> well I am going to just reboot then
[07:13] <sys8976> b00gz1: sorry was worth a shot :D

[07:15] <zammit> Ubuntu won't install: keeps freezing at mounting root file system on the desktop install, i've tried alternative install as well (i get a kernel error)
[07:15] <zammit> any ideas?
[07:15] <sys8976> zammit: have you tried testing the cd?
[07:15] <orbin> Dial_tone: i.e. the firefox extension?
[07:15] <sys8976> to make sure it is a valid burn?
[07:16] <ardchoille> Dial_tone: I seem to remember a firefox extension by that name
[07:16] <zammit> yea, it just does the install process it looks like, then i get the kernel error again, does that mean it is faulty?
[07:16] <Krhis> Dial_tone,There are download managers?
[07:16] <sys8976> anyone know if freenode is down?
[07:16] <Krhis> sys8976, you are on freenode
[07:16] <zammit> i've burned 3 cds: all w/ different downloads @ sys8976

[07:19] <sys8976> zammit: where you boot from the burn and run it that way?
[07:19] <sys8976> lens: depends on server and how bad the ban was
[07:19] <avis> zammit, i feel so bad for you you'd be a good candidate for my father to donate a box to.  we have a 1.1ghz celeron with 192 pc100 ram and 20 gig and 5 gig drive.  its not doing anything.  he's trying to find a poor person to give it to.
[07:19] <IRCMonkeyx> i just had ubuntu 6.06. I try to install. I have windows xp. In installation, i choose manually partition. and i am scare of losing my data on other drives

[07:21] <sys8976> zammit: and runs with no issue?
[07:21] <Krhis> Jesse, never used d4x. gwget is new but I use wget.
[07:21] <Yuffster> Hurrah, I'm on Ubuntu for the first time. :D
[07:21] <avis> well dad wants to give the whole thing away so if you just want the monitor take the tower too.  dad wanted to give it to a poor kid.
[07:21] <zammit> sys89: yea, i get the install screen
[07:21] <Yuffster> Well, on it with the 'net, anyways.
[07:21] <sys8976> Yuffster: woot welcome to the new world
[07:21] <raphink> Yuffster: congrats
[07:21] <Yuffster> But I have a question...
[07:22] <sys8976> zammit: what version are you using?
[07:22] <Jesse> Krhis, ok ill give wget a try when i change over to ubuntu
[07:22] <ardchoille> Yuffster: Kudos!
[07:22] <Yuffster> I've got a couple of TrueCrypt partitions...
[07:22] <zammit> sys89, it loads the kernal 100%.. .checks devices, then attempts to load the kernel, and it throws an error
[07:22] <Yuffster> And I'd like to access them now.
[07:22] <Yuffster> How would I do that?
[07:22] <zammit> sys: 6.06
[07:22] <Krhis> Jesse, good luck. Never failed me.
[07:22] <sys8976> avis: I am sure there is someone that can use it way more than I could, check with the battered womens shelter and such that would help someone I am sure
[07:22] <Jesse> Krhis, ok thansk
[07:22] <IRCMonkeyx> can anyone help me for manual partioning pls??
[07:22] <raphink> Yuffster: truecrypt partitions? what is that?

[07:23] <orbin> IRCMonkeyx: dualbooting w/ windows?
[07:23] <zammit> sys89: get my msgs?
[07:23] <Yuffster> My Windows partition doesn't work anymore, so I was hoping I could get the files without having to reinstall XP.
[07:23] <RawSewage> raphael, I did that
[07:23] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx are you using the desktop install or the alternate?
[07:23] <IRCMonkeyx> i dony know how to partion manually
[07:24] <raphink> RawSewage: I'm not sure we have one... if there's even an official ebook format

[07:24] <orbin> IRCMonkeyx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot ... outdated, but the general steps you need to do are the same
[07:24] <sys8976> Yuffster: if you run the win cd and do a repair then it will fix the boot issue
[07:24] <sys8976> zammit: 1280x1024
[07:24] <Yuffster> Well, it's broken because I screwed up the video card.
[07:25] <b00gz> So I rebooted my computer and I try and startx and I get IO error 104
[07:25] <zammit> sys: 1280x1024 on 19"? =(
[07:25] <Yuffster> I switched to my onboard instead of my NVIDIA because the NVIDIA wouldn't load with Ubunutu...
[07:25] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx okay, and from that you chose manual partitioning I guess when it got to that state?
[07:25] <Yuffster> But now I can't see anything on either card in XP.
[07:25] <sys8976> zammit: lol I am old hehe way better than 800 HAHA
[07:25] <stephan__> Yuffster, nvidia will load on Ubunu
[07:25] <sys8976> Yuffster: mine did what card you got

[07:26] <sys8976> avis: can I message you?
[07:26] <avis> yes sir
[07:26] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx, no data at all on drive e?
[07:27] <snoops> or /dev/hdc
[07:27] <GeistDerZeit> Hi guys. I'm running at a Breezy version of Ubuntu and wanted to install  ruby, rails and other gems. But the recommended version (the one that works with gems) is 1.8.4, but i got only 1.8.3 in repositories. So, my question is, should i stick with ruby 1.8.3 and use the repositories version of rails, or install 1.8.4 from Dapper repos (or perhaps build it from sources)? Getting gems will corrompe my system in any way? Does it install things in other
[07:27] <GeistDerZeit>  places tham user's home?
[07:27] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops yes i took all on drive d
[07:27] <stephan__> Yuffster : cat /etc/fstab and see what your vidio identifier is
[07:27] <raphink> GeistDerZeit: switch to Dapper is the best option imo
[07:28] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops, i have no data on drive e, i wanna install on drive e
[07:28] <snoops> okay IRCMonkeyx, and from the partitioner you've chosen the correct drive, the one with nothing on it, since it won't show up as drive e
[07:28] <Jesse> before i go does any one know how to configure my netcomm nb1300 adsl modem in ubuntu?
[07:28] <snoops> I'm using it'll show up as /dev/hdc, but heh
[07:28] <Yuffster> Sorry, I don't see a video identifier...
[07:28] <GeistDerZeit> I fear the transition, cause i've a lot of packages installed. Is it smooth?
[07:28] <snoops> I'm guessing* rather
[07:28] <sys8976> avis: are you getting my messages?
[07:28] <Yuffster> Can I message you the output?
[07:28] <avis> no i dont think you are registered
[07:28] <XVampireX> Hi
[07:28] <raphink> GeistDerZeit: it should be ;)
[07:29] <sys8976> bah I am not
[07:29] <XVampireX> I downloaded and applied the cairo-enabled clearlooks gtk theme, but it doesn't work.
[07:29] <sys8976> avis: whats that command again I forgot irc
[07:29] <XVampireX> There's no animation
[07:29] <cam> anyone using vim with this parameter "set listchars"  set ? Even if I type ":set listchars=tab:>-,trail:-" , spaces and tab are not replaced in my file ..
[07:29] <avis> ./msg nickserv help
[07:29] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops ,but i stop at mount partioning part, because i scare, it says choose swap, choose / , and it shows my other drives too, not only e
[07:29] <sys8976> avis: right one sec lol
[07:29] <raphink> GeistDerZeit: it's much better to run Dapper if you need Dapper packages, than to use Dapper packages inside Breezy
[07:29] <stephan__> Yuffster : sorry im baked.....check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:29] <GeistDerZeit> Anyways, if i install gems, are there problems, or i can follow this path without much to fear?
[07:29] <XVampireX> Does anyone know what's the problem or if I need to do anything else other than just download and dpkg -i it?
[07:29] <Yuffster> Ah, yeah, that I understand.
[07:29] <stephan__> lol
[07:29] <Nao> does anyone know how to install the synaptics driver for dapper for my touchpad?
[07:30] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx right, well there should be a drop down on the top right ish for selecting the drive to partition
[07:30] <stephan__> can someone tell my why this command "  sudo echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss " is gettings a  :Permission denied
[07:30] <b00gz> So I rebooted my computer and I try and startx and I get IO error 104
[07:30] <raphink> GeistDerZeit: do _not_ install packages from dapper in breezy anyways. If you intend to do so, you should backport them (i.e. rebuild the packages with the breezy libs)
[07:30] <b00gz> someone please help!
[07:30] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops should i click resize, remember drive e is free
[07:30] <Yuffster> I'm not really that interested in getting the NVIDIA working right now anyways.
[07:30] <sys8976> b00gz: what is the whole error please
[07:31] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx want me to pm you actually, might be easier (rooms a bit busy right now)
[07:31] <fdsd> hey guys, what does dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r) modify?
[07:31] <raphink> GeistDerZeit: which is why I say it's much easier for you to just upgrade to dapper, unless you know something about backporting ;)
[07:31] <sys8976> avis: how bout now you get that one?
[07:31] <sys8976> fdsd: your world hehe
[07:31] <Zeddi> Hi all, im having a problem attempting to install the ati fglrx driver. I've successfully installed it on a Deb system before
[07:31] <raphink> fdsd: it relaunches the configure process of the linux-image-$(uname -r) package
[07:31] <Zeddi> Not sure whats wrong
[07:31] <raphink> fdsd: i.e. is resets your kernel package
[07:31] <GeistDerZeit> Eheh, yeah. I thought it would be the best option. I'll try the upgrade.
[07:32] <fdsd> raphink, okay, I am trying to modify the ubuntu live cd
[07:32] <b00gz> sys8976 it was fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server 0:0 after 0 requests
[07:32] <fdsd> raphink, I need to run that to customize the usplash screen
[07:32] <raphink> sure
[07:32] <sys8976> b00gz: checking it out one sec
[07:32] <b00gz> ys8976 so now I am using Lynx and trying to google a fix :*(
[07:33] <fdsd> raphink, I need to copy the files it modifies to my filesystem.squash (that is the file on the live cd that holds the filesystem)
[07:33] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops ?
[07:33] <stephan__> can someone tell my why this command "  sudo echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss " is gettings a  :Permission denied
[07:33] <Yuffster> Does Dapper come with LAMP?
[07:33] <Nao> does anyone know how to install the synaptics driver for dapper for my touchpad?
[07:34] <raphink> Yuffster: there's an installation option to install a LAMP server by default
[07:34] <sys8976> b00gz: can you get into xwin?
[07:34] <fdsd> raphink, I looked to see what was modified and it looks like /lib/modules/kernelname the initrd.img and the /var/lib/initramfs-tools
[07:34] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops Private messages from unregistered users are currently blocked due to spam problems, but you can always message a staffer. Please register! ( http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#privmsg )
[07:34] <b00gz> sys8976 how do I do that?
[07:34] <Yuffster> Ah, I guess I probably didn't select that.
[07:34] <snoops> k, you're not registered.. no worries
[07:34] <fdsd> raphink, I copied those files over and it doesnt change anything
[07:34] <sys8976> b00gz: are you looking at cli (command line) now or gui (windows look)?
[07:34] <stephan__> can someone tell me why i would get this error bash: /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss: Permission denied
[07:34] <b00gz> cli
[07:34] <fdsd> raphink, I tried to run that while I was chroot'd to the filesystem.squash but it didnt work
[07:34] <phizz>  whares the best place to keep common user files (mp3s, pics other crap) I used to run it out of opt. would /usr/local be more proper?
[07:35] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops can we talk from msn?
[07:35] <sys8976> IRCMonkeyx: not hard to reg so you can /msg
[07:35] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx there's two steps.. the manual partitioning step involves you choosing the drive to install ubuntu on, and ideally making 3 partitions on theat drive
[07:35] <fdsd> raphink, since it is using a different kernel
[07:35] <snoops> that*
[07:35] <IRCMonkeyx> i can give my msn
[07:35] <b00gz> sys8975 cli
[07:35] <sys8976> b00gz: ok one sec
[07:35] <fdsd> raphink, any idea how to do it in chroot or what files it modifies so I can copy it over?
[07:36] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops i see those two steps,
[07:37] <sys8976> b00gz: try $sudo apt-get install xterm and see if that doesnt fix it
[07:37] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx so, that'll be the step before the current one you're on, the one for manually edit partition table.. from there will be a drop down box on the top right ish to select the drive you want to install on. It won't show up as "E" because that's windows terminology, and isn't used in the linux world. It'll probably be marked as /dev/hdc.. or it could be anything really
[07:37] <IRCMonkeyx> but my problem it shows my other drives too, and boxes as formatting
[07:37] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx when you select a drive from the drop down, it'll display the partitions on that drive.. hopefully from that you can deduce which drive is your drive 'E'
[07:37] <b00gz> sys8976 trying that now ... do I put the $ in front of sudo? if so what does that do? ...
[07:38] <sys8976> b00gz: no
[07:38] <Invader> I have a friends here what is trying to get his internet in ubuntu to work can someone help him
[07:38] <quicoju_> help! keep getting this error when trying to run Xorg:
[07:38] <quicoju_> could not open default cursor font 'cursor'
[07:38] <Invader> -s
[07:38] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops it says , choose swap and / thing
[07:38] <b00gz> sys8976 what is xterm?
[07:38] <b00gz> sys8976 thanks so much for the help you rock!
[07:39] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx then once you find the correct drive from that step, you'll want to create 3 partitions (ideally).
[07:39] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx that can be say a swap partition, and size of that should roughly be twice your ram (it's just the rule of thumb and doesn't really matter if you have a lot of ram)
[07:39] <sys8976> b00gz: it is something that has caused that issue before
[07:40] <sys8976> b00gz: did it work?
[07:40] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops ,do i have any chance to send you a screenshot? the window that i dont know what to do?
[07:40] <b00gz> sys8976 its downloading and install still it was like 185 MB worth ths stuff
[07:40] <sys8976> b00gz: kk
[07:40] <Jesse> any one know how to configure my netcomm nb1300 adsl modem in ubuntu?
[07:41] <Nao> can anyone tell me how to install the synaptics pad drivers on ubuntu?
[07:41] <moforila> I have a old ibm machine, it has a k6 2/550, 500mhz cpu and 64mb of ram. Is this good enough to run ubuntu
[07:41] <snoops> I think you're on the step after partitioning IRCMonkeyx
[07:41] <snoops> I mentioned going back a step before..
[07:41] <IRCMonkeyx> yes snoops thats correct
[07:43] <fdsd> raphink, any idea?
[07:43] <moforila> is 500mhz and 64mb of ram enought for ubuntu
[07:43] <ogami> definately
[07:43] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx the step you're on should be the one where you choose your / and swap partitions, since it assumes you've already created them
[07:43] <b00gz> sys8976 I now get creating new authority file... Server error
[07:44] <raphink> fdsd: sorry was away for a time
[07:46] <fdsd> raphink, I am tring to figure out how to run that command from chroot or copy the modified files from the booted live to my filesystem.squash I am modifing
[07:46] <fdsd> raphink, any idea on what dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-blah modifies?
[07:47] <Jesse> moforila, if the gnome ubuntu lags you might want to try xubuntu @ http://www.xubuntu.org/
[07:47] <raphink> fdsd: I'm not a kernel expert
[07:47] <raphink> :s
[07:47] <avis> i'm running xubuntu on a 2.53 p4 and i like it better than gnome
[07:48] <avis> i also have a gnome box that i haven't played with thats a bit more powerful
[07:48] <Jesse> avis, well i haven't used ubuntu besides the live cd so i can't compare
[07:48] <rpedro_> Jesse: isn't the Netcomm NB1300 a router?
[07:49] <Jesse> rpedro_, could be lol
[07:49] <Invader> anyone know how to get DSL internet working in Ubuntu?
[07:49] <Jesse> rpedro_, its a ethernet/ usb adsl modem router
[07:49] <sys8976> that Netcomm NB1300 is a adsl router/modem combo
[07:49] <sys8976> hehe
[07:49] <rpedro_> Jesse: so if it is, what's the issue? just connect to your nic and configure the network
[07:50] <sys8976> Invadeis it pppoe or what?
[07:50] <sys8976> err sorry that was for Invader
[07:50] <ubuntu> hello, is it possible to download an iso using a livecd if my memory is way less than the size of the iso? ie i need to access my hd somehow.
[07:50] <Jesse> rpedro_, thats what i was going to do but just thought i'd double check
[07:51] <Invader> idk my firend is talking to me on a differnet IRC and his says his Internet does not work "he just installed ubuntu today"
[07:51] <Jesse> jron, no im quite sure the live cd doesn't allow you to acsess the harddrives
[07:51] <sys8976> Invader: mine works through dsl here so got to know how you connect through it
[07:51] <sys8976> Jesse: that is correct
[07:51] <rpedro_> Jesse: though you may have to configure things such as DHCP in the router, if you using it's usb interface before, I guess
[07:52] <loquitus_of_borg> Hi. Is there a program I can install in Linux that will let me simply copy the entire contents of a DVD to a directory on my system from a DVD, similar to how WinDECSS works in Windows?
[07:52] <Jesse> rpedro_, nah im using ethernet
[07:52] <jron> are you sure Jesse, i know with the gentoo livecd, the HD can be accessed.
[07:52] <rpedro_> Jesse: ok
[07:52] <dreamcatcher5172> login screen wont start due to security policies
[07:53] <dreamcatcher5172> then it cant start /dev/wacom
[07:53] <dreamcatcher5172> says that last bit over and over
[07:53] <Jesse> jron, well sys8976 said im correct so i would presume you can't
[07:53] <Nao> is there anyway for me to apt-get the synaptics drivers?
[07:53] <icebreeze> hey is there any way to get a mouse button to act like a key press so it keeps the action you chose and then after you let go it stops it? say like if you crouch in a game it stays crouched but if you use the mouse it just crouches quickly and then lets go.  is there any way to make it stay crouched until you let go of the mouse?
[07:53] <sys8976> Jesse: hehe I dont know it all lol :D
[07:53] <spades> jron what are you trying to do?
[07:53] <rpedro_> jron: System >> Administration >> Disk , and configure there the mountpoints
[07:53] <sys8976> dreamcatcher5172: try sudo apt-get updates
[07:53] <jron> download an ISO to my HD while booting from a livecd.
[07:53] <dreamcatcher5172> tried to access login screen from artwork program cant do that..just download the file...and cant set login screen from system-administrations
[07:54] <jron> rpedro_, thank you, just what i needed :P
[07:54] <sys8976> Nao: I am not sure sorry
[07:54] <dreamcatcher5172> what is wacom anyways
[07:54] <dreamcatcher5172> ok
[07:54] <spades> jron as long as you can mount and write it shouldnt be too hard, what filesystem is the harddrive running?
[07:54] <Jesse> sys8976, yeah but im quite sure i tryed to do the same thing and they told me it wasn't worth it and it would most likely screw the partition up heh
[07:54] <dreamcatcher5172> E-invalid operation updates
[07:54] <rpedro_> jron: np ;P
[07:54] <jron> prob ntfs, ill need to format it first.
[07:55] <sys8976> dreamcatcher5172: http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/
[07:55] <dreamcatcher5172> what ifi dont have a tablet
[07:55] <dreamcatcher5172> just a desktop with mouse and keyboard
[07:55] <dreamcatcher5172> dont think i need wacom
[07:55] <sys8976> dreamcatcher5172: you are correct
[07:56] <dreamcatcher5172> do you suppose thats what is messing up my login screen?
[07:56] <CptAJ> So I got my nvidia running, its all nicely accelerated. Now, how do I make it detect my second monitor (tv) like it does on windows?
[07:56] <sys8976> Jesse: good point
[07:56] <dreamcatcher5172> how do i get rid of it...edit xorg.conf?
[07:56] <zammit> sys89: any ideas on my installation problem?
[07:56] <sys8976> dreamcatcher5172: no that wouldnt do that
[07:56] <dreamcatcher5172> suggestions?
[07:56] <JIm> Ubuntu Alternative 6.06 Installer CD has a "Install Server" choice... what's the difference of that installation choice and the Ubuntu 6.06 Server Installer cd's "Install to the harddisk" choice?
[07:56] <sys8976> zammit: question again please so I am informed I am helping here and in the opera channel :D sorry
[07:57] <dreamcatcher5172> login screen turns error for security policies and tries to loda /dev/wacom
[07:57] <dreamcatcher5172> i can still use gnome with startx
[07:57] <snoops> does wget support threadding? eg split this file up into 5 portions and download them all from a list of addresses?
[07:57] <sys8976> JIm: server just sets opts in for server and install to harddisk sets for end user install
[07:57] <dreamcatcher5172> but login screen cant be configured and it wont start
[07:57] <distantmsx> k
[07:57] <Jesse> 3 hours to go this is so exciting lol i can just see it now 3, 2, 1 phone rings we need you to come into work
[07:57] <zammit> sys89: no problem, don't mean to hastle ya... my install freezes when it attempts to start the kernel after running the device loader (or w/e)
[07:57] <sys8976> Jesse: haha
[07:58] <ice-t> hi! how can i find out which charset is standard on a linux-system in the terminal (ssh, bash)?
[07:58] <CptAJ> anyone?
[07:58] <JIm> Ubuntu Alternative 6.06 Installer CD has a "Install Server" choice... what's the difference of that installation choice and the Ubuntu 6.06 Server Installer cd's "Install to the harddisk" choice?
[07:58] <sys8976> zammit: thats right and this is an older system right?
[07:58] <avis> i'm disabled i have unlimited computer time.
[07:58] <zammit> sys89: just downloaded it today, 6.06
[07:58] <avis> though some dreadful days...
[07:58] <Jesse> sys8976, though it doesn't beat the time in the live cd i couldn't modify a file so i went stuff it i want to be able to modify all the files and set them all to 777
[07:59] <dreamcatcher5172> brb restarting x
[07:59] <JIM> Ubuntu Alternative 6.06 Installer CD has a "Install Server" choice... what's the difference of that installation choice and the Ubuntu 6.06 Server Installer cd's "Install to the harddisk" choice?
[07:59] <sys8976> Jesse: yea but 777 is huge security issue
[07:59] <sys8976> sys8976	JIm: server just sets opts in for server and install to harddisk sets for end user install
[08:00] <JIM> hhhmt
[08:00] <Jesse> sys8976, yeah? well the whole system ended up screwing over but it was live cd so i could just reboot
[08:00] <JIM> thanks
[08:00] <JIM> :)
[08:00] <sys8976> Jesse: good point I am just a security freak lol
[08:00] <sys8976> JIM: anytime
[08:00] <Anony> Can someone please help me fix my audio? I made a list of things I have tried and thier output at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=209882
[08:00] <Jesse> sys8976, what are the flaws of using 777?
[08:00] <JIM> so, that would mean that both can be configured to be used as a webserver right sys8976?
[08:01] <avis> Jesse, its accessible and alterable to anyone.
[08:01] <zammit> anyone can read/write/execute
[08:01] <sys8976> Jesse: well 777 gives everyone (outsiders also) the ability to read/write any file that is chmod to that
[08:01] <JIM> so, that would mean that both can be configured to be used as a webserver right sys8976?
[08:01] <sys8976> JIM: no set server for that not install hdd
[08:01] <Jesse> hmmm then what number allows me to just modify them?
[08:01] <jron> what is the root password for the livecds? =(
[08:02] <sys8976> JIM: I mean you can do the install hdd but you would have to dl bunch more apts
[08:02] <raphink> jron: there's a sudo access without a password
[08:02] <avis> Jesse change them to 755 under the user you want only to have access to them
[08:02] <zammit> sys89: my specs are as follows: pII ~300mhz, 64mb ram, 4gb hdd, asus MB (with 16bit ISA slots as well as 32bit pci)
[08:02] <raphink> jron: so sudo -i makes you root without a password
[08:02] <sys8976> Jesse: checking brain soured from beer right now lol
[08:02] <avis> Jesse, make sure you are logged in as that use
[08:02] <sys8976> avis: thanks
[08:02] <avis> user
[08:02] <Jesse> ok
[08:02] <jron> thanks, sorry for all the lame questions, use to gentoo's su
[08:02] <JIM> thanks once again sys8976
[08:03] <sys8976> JIM: anytime
[08:03] <JIM> jron: sudo gives you a limited time to act like a root user... i think its about 15 mins..
[08:03] <sys8976> zammit: not sure man yours has me puzzled and cant trouble shoot like I want right now cause of drink sorry
[08:03] <ideogram> So the only reason my dad still needs XP is to run the Photo management software that came with his camera.  Do you suppose there is a program easy enough to learn that I could get him to use Ubuntu?
[08:03] <sys8976> jron: no lame questions we are all here for one another :D
[08:04] <raphink> jron: when you discover about sudo, you won't want to use su anymore ;)
[08:04] <zammit> sys89: lol its okay, could it be due to the "low memory mode" ? i've only got 64meg of sdram
[08:04] <sys8976> ideogram: search google with the make/model along with +linux at the end and you should find something if there is
[08:04] <raphink> ideogram: there are very nice photo programs in ubuntu/kubuntu
[08:04] <Jesse> ugh bored of waiting
[08:04] <ideogram> the main thing is getting something easy enough for him to learn
[08:05] <ideogram> he only does simple editing like red-eye elimination and cropping
[08:05] <Madpilot> ideogram, check out gThumb, it's got some nice photo-management tools
[08:05] <snoops> to view or edit raphink?
[08:05] <sys8976> zammit: that is a possiblity I wont rule out, but not wanting to lean to that.  you should still be able to dump into cli mode without gui on that system but it isnt even doing that
[08:05] <raphink> sn00p: you mean pics? either
[08:05] <Jesse> hey is the bot still here?
[08:05] <raphink> I personaly use digikam, being on KDE, but I've hear f-spot is really nice on GNOME
[08:06] <raphink> Jesse: ubotu is a bot
[08:06] <sys8976> Jesse: yes
[08:06] <raphink> !what Jesse wants
[08:06] <ubotu> I know nothing about what Jesse wants
[08:06] <Jesse> yup that was the one i was thinking of
[08:06] <raphink> see Jesse, you should just tell him what you want ;)
[08:06] <zammit> sys89: is there another linux os out there that i could test? see if i have faulty hardware? btw, i'm runnin win98 presently (want to get rid of it)
[08:07] <Jesse> !what esd
[08:07] <ubotu> I know nothing about what esd
[08:07] <avis> zammit, knoppix has a live cd.
[08:07] <cef> sys8976: memtest86 perhaps? is it on the cd?
[08:07] <sys8976> zammit: suse would be the only other one that I would think (from the dl driver support it has) would be the only opition to try
[08:07] <rpedro_> zammit: try Damn Small Linux
[08:07] <sys8976> cef: not sure
[08:07] <ardchoille> Good night all :)
[08:07] <stephan__> !what quake3
[08:07] <ubotu> I know nothing about what quake3
[08:07] <sys8976> ardchoille: night
[08:07] <[Spooky] > is it possible to change the Computer name ?
[08:07] <stephan__> !what quake
[08:07] <ubotu> I know nothing about what quake
[08:07] <zammit> sys89 & rpedro: thanks i'll try those *crosses fingers*
[08:07] <cef> sys8976: I know it's on the DVD, but not sure about the cd
[08:08] <Gonzo> my xmms does not want to play wma anymore :( it use to work but now either skips over it or freezes
[08:08] <sys8976> cef: yea dont think it is on cd
[08:08] <Gonzo> anyone has an idea?
[08:08] <sys8976> Gonzo: more beer
[08:08] <ideogram> both gThumb and f-spot look good -- looks like I have many choices
[08:08] <[Spooky] > all i have found is on changing the workgroup name...
[08:08] <sys8976> lol sorry had to let it out
[08:08] <Gonzo> sys8976:  gimme a sec
[08:08] <ideogram> heh maybe I will just confuse my dad
[08:08] <JIM> Gonzo: how about downloading the extension for playing wma again?
[08:08] <JIM> -_-
[08:08] <Gonzo> JIM:  i did..
[08:08] <avis> Gonzo, there is an updated .deb for win32 codecs in the wiki dated 6/06
[08:08] <Gonzo> as i said... i use to be able to play them
[08:08] <Gonzo> not anymore
[08:09] <sys8976> Gonzo: have you updated like JIM suggested?
[08:09] <JIM> re-install the codec
[08:09] <XVampireX> HELP
[08:09] <Gonzo> yes i did
[08:09] <XVampireX> I can't install themes
[08:09] <sys8976> [Spooky] : yes there is but not sure hold on I look
[08:09] <Gonzo> anyway tru synaptic
[08:09] <Gonzo> reinstalled xmms all over as well
[08:09] <JIM> erk
[08:09] <XVampireX> Any theme I install doesn't appear in the theme preferences
[08:09] <avis> if your nuts like me you'll do a apt-get install gstreamer0.10-* :) as well.  well, actually not, but you could.. and you'd pretty much be covered
[08:09] <stephan__> i just noticed when i installed kde it installed everthing as 386................how do i get 686's
[08:09] <XVampireX> PLEASE HELP ME
[08:09] <JIM> what desktop are you using XVampireX
[08:10] <JIM> ?
[08:10] <Jesse> sudo killall esd
[08:10] <XVampireX> gnome
[08:10] <XVampireX> ubuntu
[08:10] <JIM> hhmm
[08:10] <raphink> XVampireX: please do not use caps like that. We know you have a problem, and many people do here, and it's not a reason to put the attention on you this way.
[08:10] <XVampireX> I just installed candido but it's not there!
[08:10] <JIM> have you tried downloading themes from this site? >> http://www.gnome-look.org/
[08:10] <XVampireX> raphink, I came here few minutes ago
[08:11] <sys8976> [Spooky] : here ya go hange the Computer Name
[08:11] <sys8976> System->Administration->Networking
[08:11] <sys8976> Select the General tab. Enter the name of the computer in the Hostname field.
[08:11] <sys8976> Click OK, close all open applications and reboot.
[08:11] <XVampireX> No one said anything
[08:11] <JIM> have you tried downloading themes from this site? >> http://www.gnome-look.org/
[08:11] <JIM> themes on that site works well on my distro
[08:11] <raphink> XVampireX: maybe because this is not a hotline
[08:11] <JIM> :)
[08:11] <XVampireX> JIM, Yeah, I even compiled candido!
[08:11] <JIM> ?
[08:11] <JIM> compiled?!
[08:11] <XVampireX> yeah
[08:11] <Jesse> Gonzo, when i had sound problems i just used sudo killall esd then started esd up again, worth a try
[08:11] <JIM> i didn't even compiled any stuff when changing a theme
[08:12] <sys8976> gah I love google lol
[08:12] <XVampireX> Candido is not in the theme menu :(
[08:12] <esoteric> does anyone know where i can locate linux drivers for the xbox dvd playback kit?
[08:12] <dAndy> anyone know which package provides a go away message on login (like /sbin/nologin in redhat speak)
[08:12] <sys8976> XVampireX: did you install it via sudo
[08:12] <Gonzo> Jesse:  doesn't work
[08:12] <XVampireX> sys8976, yeah
[08:12] <sys8976> esoteric: old or 360?
[08:12] <[Spooky] > sys8976: thanks :P brb
[08:12] <sys8976> kk
[08:12] <XVampireX> Well
[08:13] <XVampireX> There's one detail, I installed the gtk engine, not the theme
[08:13] <XVampireX> Maybe I'm confused
[08:13] <Jesse> Gonzo, beats me
[08:13] <q_a_z_steve> can anyone help me with dual booting? I think I need to install /boot again, on my master drive, and I'm wondering if I need anything else moved around or if alternately if I can/should delete /boot on the slave...
[08:13] <sys8976> XVampireX: umm lol yea you have to install the theme after the engine to get it to work
[08:13] <sys8976> q_a_z_steve: details please
[08:13] <XVampireX> sys8976, Oh, thanks
[08:14] <sys8976> woot
[08:14] <dAndy> nobody knows?
[08:14] <esoteric> sys8976: i want to get drivers for my old xbox dvd playback kit so that it will work on linux
[08:14] <esoteric> on my pc
[08:14] <sys8976> dAndy: sorry had 4 other tickets going tell me what was going on
[08:14] <q_a_z_steve> I installed Breezy on a 120GB slave to a 40 GB master.
[08:14] <q_a_z_steve> I've followed the other steps in this doc...
[08:14] <JIM> wow
[08:14] <JIM> what a spec
[08:14] <JIM> :P
[08:15] <sys8976> esoteric: whew not sure on that one sorry
[08:15] <dAndy> sys8976: i am migrating from centos, and at using nis, I put +::::::/sbin/nologin in the bottom of the passwd file
[08:15] <q_a_z_steve> http://geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html
[08:15] <dAndy> but /sbin/nologin doesnt exist in ubuntu, is there a package?
[08:15] <q_a_z_steve> my parts on the slave are as follows.
[08:15] <esoteric> sys8976: np so any ideas where i can find the drivers or more specifically the source code for them so i can compile it for my system
[08:15] <dAndy> or something similar?
[08:16] <Nao> I'm looking at my xorg.conf and see that under the section inputdevice it says that my mouse's driver is just "mouse" does anyone know how to get it to use the synaptics one?
[08:16] <IsDis4me> Hello
[08:16] <orbin> dAndy: what does it do exactly?
[08:16] <sys8976> esoteric: have you hit google yet
[08:16] <Redrose> can i ask, what is the difference between say, aircrack and aircrack-ng?
[08:16] <Redrose> what does the -ng mean?
[08:16] <IRCMonkeyx>  /msg nickserv set unfiltered on
[08:16] <esoteric> sys8976: extensivly...with no luck as of yet...
[08:16] <sys8976> orbin: here is dAndy have fun you two
[08:16] <dAndy> orbin: just says "This account isnt available" and exits, (i could write my own, but when managing 50 boxes, I would rather have a deb
[08:16] <IsDis4me> is there an ubuntu app that is like Mathematica
[08:17] <Redrose> does ng stand for next gen?
[08:17] <raphink> what is mathematica?
[08:17] <dAndy> Redrose: typically
[08:17] <q_a_z_steve> '/boot 30MB, swap, 768 MB, /windows 35G, / 15G , /home max
[08:17] <Redrose> so what is so much better about it vs the normal package?
[08:18] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops here??  anyone could help me for mount points???
[08:18] <sys8976> esoteric: ok the firmware that xbox used for its dvd playback if I remeber right was a freaked out wma type have you tried any codecs for win media player yet?
[08:18] <dAndy> IsDis4me: there is R (which is more like a programming language for math type stuff) http://www.r-project.org/
[08:18] <sys8976> q_a_z_steve: what boot loader are you using?
[08:18] <IsDis4me> thx
[08:18] <Redrose> and also, the device sit0 keeps showing up on my ifconfig, how do i get rid of it?
[08:19] <q_a_z_steve> standard grub, which is why I didn't use bootpart at first
[08:19] <sys8976> IRCMonkeyx: got 4 tickets going if you can hold on I will try :D otherwise others here can also when they get free
[08:19] <Jesse> raphink, mathematica is a maths program which mainly helps with algebra
[08:19] <sys8976> q_a_z_steve: what is grub showing on boot?
[08:19] <raphink> Jesse: did you search for math programs in synaptic/adept/apt-cache?
[08:19] <IRCMonkeyx> ok thanx sys89
[08:19] <esoteric> sys8976: i need the xir source....basically ive attached a usb cable to my xbox dongle and have plugged it into my ubuntu pc...the device manager is recognising this as an xbox dvd playback kit but it is using the xpad driver?
[08:19] <Redrose> jesse:mathomatic
[08:20] <sys8976> esoteric: ahh ok one sec
[08:20] <Jesse> raphink no im sure ive herd the teacher mention it before
[08:20] <Redrose> how do i configure my wireless network card to automatically connect to one network...
[08:20] <Cntryboy> Why doesn't kaffine movie player allow me to have sound? The speaker with in the program has a slash through it.
[08:21] <Jesse> but from further googling it looks to be a programing language
[08:22] <sys8976> esoteric: here is something that might be what can help not sure didnt read it all but I think it will http://etl.cs.luc.edu/gkt/research/xir
[08:23] <Jesse> well im going to cook dinner so cya thanks for the conversation and help
[08:23] <sys8976> Jesse: it has been good conversation have fun
[08:23] <esoteric> sys8976: nah ty but we need Xbox Infared Remote (xir) drivers for linux
[08:23] <q_a_z_steve> grub never gets loaded my boot.ini doesn't go there...
[08:24] <Jesse> sys8976, well ill probably be back tommorow in ubuntu asking how to do more things
[08:24] <sys8976> q_a_z_steve: ok then you need to go in and change that
[08:24] <sys8976> Jesse: hehe ok take care
[08:24] <IRCMonkeyx> is there anyone free to help stupid windows user :D
[08:24] <sys8976> esoteric: looking some more
[08:24] <q_a_z_steve> sys8976, my boot.ini?
[08:25] <kholerabbi> Should I set up additional partitions as ext2 or ext3?
[08:25] <orbin> IRCMonkeyx: just ask
[08:25] <JIM> whats the problem ? IRCMonkeyx
[08:25] <sys8976> esoteric: here is one I think http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/LIRC
[08:25] <q_a_z_steve> boot.ini edited by bootpart...
[08:25] <orbin> kholerabbi: i'd go w/ 3
[08:25] <sys8976> esoteric: might have to change some values but it should be workable
[08:26] <dli> kholerabbi, what partition? /boot is okay with ext2
[08:26] <kholerabbi> orbin: OK, its just ext2 is default
[08:26] <kholerabbi> Just for data
[08:26] <Cntryboy> Why doesn't kaffine movie player allow me to have sound? The speaker with in the program has a slash through it.
[08:26] <IRCMonkeyx> people this is my first time with lunix
[08:26] <dli> kholerabbi, jfs is good also
[08:26] <IRCMonkeyx> i have windows xp
[08:26] <sys8976> q_a_z_steve: yes you have to have the boot (grub) know that what it is looking for,
[08:26] <IRCMonkeyx> drive c-d-e
[08:26] <JIM> ?
[08:26] <kholerabbi> dli: is there much difference?
[08:26] <IRCMonkeyx> drive e is free no data, fat32
[08:26] <dli> kholerabbi, yes, jfs is fast with fsck (journal replay)
[08:26] <IRCMonkeyx> i try to install ubuntu
[08:26] <JIM> ok IRCMonkeyx.... and?
[08:27] <JIM> and then?
[08:27] <SurfnKid> hi guys
[08:27] <IRCMonkeyx> i dont know how to mount points
[08:27] <sys8976> SurfnKid: hiya
[08:27] <SurfnKid> :)
[08:27] <SurfnKid> sup
[08:27] <IRCMonkeyx> i wanna install on drive e
[08:27] <JIM> just set the mount point to "/
[08:27] <JIM> just set the mount point to "/" IRCMonkeyx
[08:27] <kholerabbi> dli: I'm not sure what fsck is, but I'll go jfs anyway - mayaslwell :)
[08:27] <JIM> without the quote ofcourse
[08:27] <IRCMonkeyx> jim but how?
[08:27] <JIM> hhhhhhmm
[08:27] <IRCMonkeyx> i am scare of losing my data
[08:27] <dli> kholerabbi, that's good, I don't use ext[23]  any more
[08:27] <JIM> select the Manually edit the partition
[08:27] <JIM> well
[08:28] <JIM> here's a tip
[08:28] <JIM> remember the size of your drive e
[08:28] <kholerabbi> dli: dose the os (dapper) require ext3 though?
[08:28] <JIM> :)
[08:28] <JIM> then
[08:28] <kholerabbi> Or should I jsut use jfs altogether?
[08:28] <dli> kholerabbi, anyone would work, ext[23] , jfs, xfs, reiserfs
[08:28] <kholerabbi> dli: ok thanks
[08:28] <JIM> in the Manually edit the partition option, find the hard disk size the matches your drive e
[08:28] <JIM> :P
[08:28] <esoteric> sys8976: thats along the right lines...i have read that page before but the problem is that the modules provided are compiled for the 2.4 kernel running on an xbox and i have been unable to load them into my 2.6 ubuntu kernel
[08:28] <IRCMonkeyx> jim i do those steps what you say
[08:28] <Gonzo> note to self: when something doesn't work... kill everything and start all over again...
[08:28] <dli> kholerabbi, you can do that, I use /boot jfs also
[08:28] <delmar> kholerabbi, use ext3
[08:29] <JIM> and change the filesystem type of that from FAT32 to ext3
[08:29] <JIM> got it IRCMonkeyx?
[08:29] <esoteric> sys8976: if i could find the source for those compiled files i presume i could recompile them for 2.6
[08:29] <sys8976> esoteric: right now we just have to go through the lines and see where we need to make the changes before compile
[08:29] <kholerabbi> A bit of controversy here: delmar dli? Why do you pick ext3?
[08:29] <IRCMonkeyx> after those new windows comes
[08:29] <JIM> the installer will re-format that part of your harddrive
[08:29] <sys8976> Gonzo: hehe better than windows anyday
[08:29] <delmar> kholerabbi, if u are not gonna use ext3 use XFS.  I have had vast experience..good and bad .. and ive ended up with ext3 on most stuff or xfs.
[08:29] <Gonzo> well... that kind of thing worked right away in window...
[08:30] <dli> kholerabbi, up to you, anyone would work, anyone is stable enough, (ext3/jfs), but jfs is better with features
[08:30] <Gonzo> but lets just be patriotic... why not
[08:30] <Gonzo> :/
[08:30] <kholerabbi> delmar: I'll use ext3 on the main partition, and jfs on small data partitions? sound good?
[08:30] <q_a_z_steve> [boot loader] 
[08:30] <delmar> kholerabbi, ext3 is a journal file system anyway. XFS is in use commercially and military on SGI systems.
[08:30] <IRCMonkeyx> jim, after i make what say, new windows comes, it says prepare mount points ,hda1 hda2 hda5, with formatting boxes
[08:30] <q_a_z_steve> timeout=30
[08:30] <JIM> ahhhhh
[08:30] <IRCMonkeyx> i wanna use only hda5 which is my drive e
[08:30] <q_a_z_steve> default=...windows
[08:30] <q_a_z_steve> [operating systems] 
[08:30] <JIM> ok
[08:31] <JIM> so
[08:31] <JIM> select hda5
[08:31] <JIM> :)
[08:31] <esoteric> sys8976: wat source file have u found that needs to be modified?
[08:31] <q_a_z_steve> ...windows
[08:31] <delmar> kholerabbi, from experience, i would stick with ext3 and xfs only.
[08:31] <JIM> then change its filesystem type to ext3 and the mount point to a /
[08:31] <q_a_z_steve> '/fastdetect
[08:31] <dli> kholerabbi, if you box crashes (say, power failure), it takes long for ext3 to do fs scan (scandisk in dos), jfs is super fast
[08:31] <IRCMonkeyx> jim, how to select?? just putting a tick to formatting box???
[08:31] <q_a_z_steve> 'c:\linux.bin="Ubuntu"
[08:31] <kholerabbi> delmar: oK, I'll think about it thanks :) - dose that meen you have had bad experiences with others?
[08:31] <JIM> errrr..
[08:31] <JIM> what tick?
[08:31] <sys8976> esoteric: click some of the links in there on that page and you will see I just poked around some and found what they are talking bout it can be done
[08:31] <delmar> kholerabbi, yup. my favorite for a long time was reiserFS.
[08:31] <JIM> just select it.. like hit Enter button
[08:32] <dli> kholerabbi, don't use xfs, unless you have UPS
[08:32] <JIM> try it
[08:32] <JIM> :)
[08:32] <sys8976> q_a_z_steve: no if you do that windows goes byebye as far as boot
[08:32] <IRCMonkeyx> :)
[08:32] <kholerabbi> I don't - hehe
[08:32] <delmar> kholerabbi, judos to Hans for a great FS, but it let me down a few times
[08:32] <delmar> kholerabbi, kudos* even
[08:32] <IRCMonkeyx> i have many important data :)
[08:32] <ApocalypticOni> until recently i was a windows user, but now i am trying to make the switch to ubuntu. is there a linux eqiuivalent to control alt delete?
[08:32] <IRCMonkeyx> is there any screenshots on web for it??
[08:32] <q_a_z_steve> sys8976 '/join #ubuntu-chat
[08:32] <sys8976> you need a boot loader and from what I have tested you cant have an os (any from what I have tested) on a spare drive and boot from the main drive sorry
[08:32] <JIM> where's your important data located IRCMonkeyx
[08:32] <JIM> ?
[08:32] <dli> ApocalypticOni, for what?
[08:32] <delmar> ApocalypticOni, there is
[08:33] <IRCMonkeyx> c and d
[08:33] <IRCMonkeyx> e is free
[08:33] <JIM> dont worry
[08:33] <JIM> if you selected hda5
[08:33] <delmar> ApocalypticOni, do you want to make it so u can press ctrl-alt-del and get the proc manager?
[08:33] <JIM> it wont delete your other hda
[08:33] <JIM> :)
[08:33] <ApocalypticOni> delmar: ya
[08:33] <IRCMonkeyx> jim what is / thing?
[08:33] <IRCMonkeyx> it says use / ?
[08:33] <JIM> a "/" slash
[08:33] <IRCMonkeyx> yes sir
[08:33] <esoteric> sys8976: can u pls gimme a link to the page u are referring to
[08:33] <delmar> ApocalypticOni, system, administration, system monitor
[08:34] <delmar> ApocalypticOni, thats the app that will show up
[08:34] <ApocalypticOni> thanks
[08:34] <JIM> by-default, most linux users uses that as their mount point
[08:34] <Cronos1388> Can anyone help me out with installation from the Alternate Install CD? I'm having alot of trouble.
[08:34] <JIM> :)
[08:34] <JIM> by-default, most linux users uses that as their mount point
[08:34] <delmar> ApocalypticOni, to make it so that ctrl-alt-del will do that for you.. use Automatix
[08:34] <sys8976> esoteric: http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/LIRC
[08:34] <JIM> just select or indicated in the mount point that you woule be using "/"
[08:34] <JIM> :)
[08:34] <delmar> ApocalypticOni, apt-get install automatix
[08:34] <sys8976> esoteric: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/156984#156984
[08:34] <sys8976> esoteric: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/156055#156055
[08:35] <IRCMonkeyx> you mean i will put slash for hda5???
[08:35] <JIM> yup
[08:35] <orbin> delmar: it's a script not a package
[08:35] <IRCMonkeyx> ok thanx jim :)
[08:35] <sys8976> esoteric: through those it should get you at least closer to what you wanting and should get you to were you can compile with 2.6
[08:35] <IRCMonkeyx> i will try
[08:35] <JIM> IRCMonkeyx, may i ask, are you installing your ubuntu distro after you booted it as a LIVE CD?
[08:35] <sys8976> I am out it is late, I am drunk and work calls in morning have fun all with everything you are doing talk with you all later
[08:36] <IRCMonkeyx> yes jim
[08:36] <esoteric> sys8976:  ok thanks
[08:36] <JIM> like you we're able to try the operating system first before you clicked the "Install" icon?
[08:36] <JIM> like you we're able to try the operating system first before you clicked the "Install" icon?
[08:36] <IRCMonkeyx> yes jim
[08:36] <sn00p> cat /proc/usb/devices
[08:36] <sn00p> cat: /proc/usb/devices: No such file or directory
[08:36] <sn00p>  how come I get that error?
[08:36] <IRCMonkeyx> it is 6,06
[08:36] <dli> sn00p, lsusb
[08:36] <JIM> here's a good tutorial
[08:36] <JIM> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installing.html
[08:37] <dreamcatcher5172> ok i got it fixed
[08:37] <dreamcatcher5172> and now my desktop looks oh so sweet
[08:37] <JIM> here's a good tutorial for installing ubuntu 6.06 in GUI mode... http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installing.html
[08:37] <orbin> sn00p: exactly as it says.  no file exists of that name
[08:37] <JIM> try that IRCMonkeyx
[08:37] <kholerabbi> If I make changes to a file while using the livecd - like change fstab - will the original file (on the cd) or the modified file (on memory) be written when I install?
[08:37] <IRCMonkeyx> hey jim this is what i want:)))
[08:37] <IRCMonkeyx> thank you very much
[08:37] <JIM> its ok

[08:37] <palermi> hi i need to know how (via script) include icons in the menu
[08:39] <JIM> Glad i could help IRCMonkeyx.just remember to help other people if they needed to ask some help about ubuntu... oh and btw, you can always ask google to help you with your problems before going to irc channels... Have fun!
[08:39] <robokop> hello guys
[08:39] <robokop> is there a way such that i can view a log with continous updates
[08:39] <IRCMonkeyx> jim, when i learn ubuntu, of course i will help, humanity to others:)
[08:40] <palermi> hi i need to know how (via script) include icons in the menu (aplication->games)
[08:40] <orbin> robokop: tail -f
[08:40] <orbin> iirc
[08:40] <JIM> glad to hear that... just frequent this channel and tell other people to come here if they needed to ask some questions/advice/tips
[08:40] <orbin> palermi: why via script?
[08:41] <robokop> orbin: thanks for the help
[08:41] <palermi> orbin: eg: install-cube.sh -i want include the icon in the menu
[08:42] <palermi> orbi: i want using the scritp install.sh include the icons from cube in the menu (aplication->game), how i doing this?
[08:42] <Cronos1388> Can anyone help me? I'm trying to install Ubuntu 6.06 on a Pentium II Dell box with 128 megs of ram. I'm using the alternate install CD.
[08:42] <Cronos1388> My problem is that when I get to the hardware check part it can't mount the CD drive
[08:44] <delmar> I'm having a problem with an older system...It installs fine (Dapper 606 Alt CD, selected Server). It has two little 4.6g SCSI disks Raid Mirrored on an Adaptec 2110S Raid controler. As I say, it installs just fine.  When It's done and reboots, it boots kernel 2.6.15-23-386 but a short way after, I see error messages like "iop0: Device already claimed"  and "iop0:  DMA / IO allocation for I20 controler failed"  a while later it doe
[08:44] <delmar> s.. "ALERT! /dev/i2o/hda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" .. which it does.     It would seem Dapper doesn't like the adaptec 2110S?  Anyone know the answer?
[08:45] <orbin> palermi: my guess is you need to find out where the menu launchers are kept and put the new one in there
[08:45] <salah> is there any possibility to resize the virtual screen size? The screen resolution is at 1600x1200, but still icons, window title, file menus etc is to big
[08:45] <amonkey> when i click on applications, places or system, the menu at first pops up compacted with a scroll button at the top and bottom. a subsequent click on the menu makes it show the full menu. how can i get it to never compact the menus?
[08:45] <palermi> orbin: yes i guess in ~/.gnome/apps/ but not work
[08:46] <JIM> maybe your monitor just doesn't suppor the 1600X1200 resolution salah
[08:46] <JIM> Ubuntu automatically adjusts itseld to the maximum resolution that your display could support
[08:47] <salah> JIM, sure it does, it works fine, but I can give you a screenshot to show you how
[08:47] <JIM> Ubuntu automatically adjusts itself to the maximum resolution that your display could support
[08:47] <JIM> i dont know if file transferring is allowed here
[08:47] <JIM> :P
[08:47] <bulltitan> hey
[08:47] <bulltitan> is there a way to extract a .pkg file in ubuntu?
[08:47] <JIM> ofcourse there is
[08:48] <gore_> how would I open a bin file in ubuntu?
[08:48] <bulltitan> dpkg?
[08:48] <bulltitan> gdebi
[08:48] <JIM> yup
[08:48] <bulltitan> ?
[08:48] <JIM> dpkg
[08:48] <bulltitan> :D
[08:48] <sn00p> Does anybody know that if there are any linux drivers for an asus wireless adatper wl-1607 one I d/'ed from asus.com doesn't seem to be working?
[08:48] <orbin> salah: imageshack.us
[08:49] <sn00p> for ubuntu
[08:49] <JIM> man dpkg
[08:49] <Terminus> gore_: depends on what the bin file represents. try typing "file foo.bin" to have ubuntu guess what it is.
[08:49] <bulltitan> great
[08:49] <salah> orbin, yes sure, :-)
[08:49] <Cronos1388> Can anyone help me?
[08:50] <JIM> what is it cronos?
[08:50] <gore_> Terminus: you mean just running it from nautilus?
[08:50] <xnull-> how can I remove some services? like cups/etc...
[08:50] <xnull-> ?
[08:50] <Terminus> gore_: nope. from a terminal.
[08:50] <Cronos1388> Well I'm trying to install to a Dell machine
[08:50] <Edgan> Anyone know what program/config in Dapper enables the eject button, onscreen display, volume control etc for a Mac?
[08:50] <Cronos1388> Pentium II 128 ram
[08:50] <salah> JIM, orbin: http://img102.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot441vp.png
[08:50] <orbin> palermi: /usr/share/menu
[08:50] <Cronos1388> And when I get to the part where it detects hardware it can't find my CD Rom drive
[08:50] <orbin> palermi: open up one of the existing files to look at the synta
[08:51] <orbin> *syntax
[08:51] <salah> you see the icons below the File menu? I want for example them to be smaller, and also the icons in all other programs, and also the window title
[08:51] <gore_> Terminus, it just tells me its a data file
[08:51] <Terminus> gore_: it doesn't say Bourne shell script text executable or anything? is it a cd image?
[08:51] <gore_> Terminus, its actually just an iso, in windows I'd extract it using isobuster but is there a linux equivalent to that?
[08:51] <Terminus> gore_: oh... you need to use binchunker for that
[08:51] <Terminus> !info bchunk
[08:52] <ubotu> bchunk: CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1.2.0-1 (dapper), package size 12 kB, installed size 68 kB
[08:52] <orbin> salah: you said this is a virtual res. right?
[08:52] <gore_> thank you sir
[08:52] <palermi> orb: thank
[08:52] <IamEthos> does Ubuntu not come with dhcpcd?
[08:52] <palermi> orbin: thank
[08:52] <orbin> palermi: yw
[08:52] <JIM> salah, i think you cant change that
[08:52] <Terminus> gore_: you're welcome. using bchunk is beyond what i know so you're gonna have to read the docs or ask somebody who uses it.
[08:53] <JIM> bye guys
[08:53] <JIM> :P
[08:53] <salah> orbin, I really don't know what the virt. res. is, my screen is supporting up to 2048x<something>, but me gfx. card supports 1600x1200 (which this is at now). my screen is a 19", so the icons is very big here, how do I make them smaller?
[08:53] <salah> bye JIM
[08:53] <salah> thanks for trying
[08:53] <orbin> salah: pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:53] <JIM> salah, its the size for openoffice.org icon
[08:54] <sn00p> I have an asus wireless usb adaptor, (dongle) how do I get it to work with ubuntu?
[08:54] <bulltitan> i can't open the file is not debian file so i guess that dpkg is not it
[08:54] <JIM> bye everyone
[08:54] <bulltitan> bye jim
[08:54] <mada> j0
[08:55] <salah> orbin, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17316
[08:56] <bulltitan> today was a baaaad day no luck with vmware, i can't open this pkg file and i can't watch dvds
[08:56] <bulltitan> but i still like ubuntu
[08:57] <mada> good to know :)
[08:57] <bulltitan> seems to be that for dvds the css lib is working but not the codec i dont get it
[08:58] <mada> thats strange, i can watch dvds on my box
[08:58] <bulltitan> and i have al win32 codecs, xinelib, extracodecs, etc plus mplayer
[08:58] <orbin> salah: sys > prefs > screen res.  ... does it say you're in 1600?
[08:59] <salah> yes
[08:59] <mada> bulltitan: strange ....
[08:59] <salah> orbin, it's nothing wrong with the screen resolution, I just want everything smaller
[08:59] <silentread> so u wanna change the dpi?
[08:59] <bulltitan> i know, and i did the restricted formats way, and also a bunch of other ways to get it ti work with no + result
[09:01] <sn00p> How do I fix this make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
[09:01] <sn00p> ?
[09:01] <mada> bulltitan: i sadly have no suggestions ...
[09:01] <orbin> salah: i just loaded OO.  they're massive on my screen too
[09:01] <bulltitan> there's only one last chance that i'm looking at,.. the dvd it's a gift from my brother and it's a copy could that be it?
[09:01] <bulltitan> a bad copy?
[09:01] <mada> bulltitan: possible, you have another dvd to try?
[09:02] <bulltitan> not like a movie just a game
[09:02] <salah> orbin, so, no idea how to fix this?
[09:02] <bulltitan> but i'll try to rent one tomorrow
[09:02] <orbin> i know how to shrink other stuff e.g. titlebars, panels etc
[09:02] <mada> bulltitan: yeah, give that shot because most issues i know of just revolve around having the right plugins installed but it sounds like you have all your bases covered
[09:03] <orbin> but i think there should be a setting for small toolbar icons in OO.  i'm looking now
[09:03] <orge> is there an app that records desktop, like, demonstrating something like how Novell demonstrated XGL, you know what im saying?
[09:03] <bulltitan> thanks for the tips mada
[09:04] <amonkey> how can i figure out why gnome crashes when i run gnome-window-decorator?
[09:04] <orbin> salah: looks like maybe it enforces 26x26 icons
[09:05] <sn00p> How do I fix this make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.?
[09:06] <LMJ_work> hello the chan
[09:06] <gore_> is there a way to find out what codec is need to play a certain video file?
[09:06] <gore_> needed*
[09:06] <bulltitan> well in windows was gspot
[09:06] <orbin> salah: do you have the same issue w/ other apps too?
[09:06] <Hobbsee> sn00p: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules?
[09:06] <mada> bulltitan: no prob (sorry, i was afk)
[09:06] <bulltitan> i dunno in ubuntu
[09:07] <bulltitan> no problem
[09:07] <mada> hiya LMJ_work
[09:07] <bjron> hmm, so when I run 'grub-install' it probably should not take more than a couple seconds right?
[09:07] <salah> orbin, yes, the text everywhere is to big
[09:07] <jron_> I installed gftp off the livecd and got my HD ready to write my ISO to, however, gftp wont run as root... how can i add the ability to access my newly mounted hd for the guest user?
[09:07] <mada> sn00p: i really don't know ... have you tried pasting the error into a google search? you get alot of good forum how-tos that way
[09:07] <orbin> salah: that can be changed via sys > prefs > font
[09:07] <mada> bjron: how long it been running?
[09:08] <bjron> mada, a good couple minutes anyway, but it just finally finished, so probably nevermind :P
[09:08] <mada> bjron: :)
[09:08] <bjron> still, no warning that it might take a long time :(
[09:08] <bjron> oh well, hope it worked. . .
[09:08] <LMJ_work> how i can know what package contain the command (binary) "setenv" ?
[09:08] <gore_> linux needs to fix its multimedia issues =[
[09:08] <orbin> salah: that'll shrink most buttons too
[09:09] <mada> bjron: probably did ... it would have given an error if something went wrong (normally)
[09:09] <mada> LMJ_work: google?
[09:09] <bjron> yea, time to test.
[09:09] <LMJ_work> i'm googleling
[09:09] <sn00p> Hobbsee there is no package
[09:09] <mada> LMJ_work: :)
[09:09] <ALDI> Hi, how do I make a ftp user to access all directorys (777)?
[09:09] <bulltitan> to be honest compared to windows i was able to install ubuntu and hear some sounds wich win was like a mute under water in it
[09:09] <Hobbsee> sn00p: hmmm.
[09:10] !lilo:*! small regional server being shutdown for a hardware change-out
[09:10] !lilo:*! affected users, a bit over 200
[09:10] <sn00p> Hobbsee, i found them
[09:10] <Hobbsee> sn00p: :)
[09:10] <bulltitan> ubuntu has a lot of media related issues but a lot of em are related to license as far as i know
[09:11] <sn00p> there was one specifically for 2.6.15
[09:11] <salah> orbin, I see, things are starting to work some greater, but im spending 12 hours of my day at school, so I am using openoffice a lot. But the icons at OpenOffice is to big
[09:11] <LMJ_work> is there any command to find the package contain the command (binary) "setenv" ?
[09:11] <Hobbsee> LMJ_work: apt-cache show setenv
[09:11] <Hobbsee> LMJ_work: look where it says source: blah
[09:12] <sn00p> Hobbsee, I still get that error
[09:13] <Edgan> anyone know where I can download a dapper live cd with the latest updates included?
[09:13] <DBO> Edgan, afaik you cant
[09:13] <bulltitan> i still dont understand why kubuntu has a hole suite for media playing and ubuntu only has totem wich i think it stinks why not mplayer by default
[09:13] <LMJ_work> i can't find it Hobbsee
[09:13] <Edgan> DBO: why?
[09:13] <DBO> bulltitan, there is a limited amount of space on the CD really
[09:13] <snoops> I have to admit it does suck when you install dapper fresh and 90meg of updates shows up
[09:14] <DBO> Edgan, because... there isnt one?
[09:14] <bulltitan> i see
[09:14] <Edgan> DBO: I found instructions of how to do it, but hoped someone had
[09:14] <DBO> Edgan, there may be unofficial ones, but nothing official
[09:14] <Hobbsee> LMJ_work: does it have anything to do with epic4?
[09:14] <Edgan> DBO: I am fine with unofficial
[09:15] <Hobbsee> LMJ_work: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=setenv&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=dapper&arch=i386
[09:15] <jacky> who is developing the new init system?
[09:15] <ALDI> I have a ftp user on my vsftp server. But he only has access to his home dir. what do i need to change that he has access to the whole filesystem?
[09:15] <snoops> if I would use ubuntu on a network setup.. eg 10 or so computers running it, can I setup a central server to grab the updates off locally? That way only one machine needs to get the updates?
[09:15] <Anony> Did I post my laptop sound problem in the wrong part of this forum? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1219301#post1219301
[09:16] <DBO> ALDI, why would you want to do that?
[09:16] <Terminus> snoops: sure you can.
[09:16] <ALDI> DBO: for testing and easier managing the ubuntu machine
[09:16] <LMJ_work> thanks Hobbsee
[09:17] <Terminus> snoops: i can think of lots of ways to do it. rsync, your own repos, etc.
[09:17] <jron_> can anyone fill me in on why gftp wont launch as root? it just says: Error: Can't find gFTP binaries installed in /usr/bin.... however, it runs fine as a non root user.
[09:17] <DBO> ALDI, you might want to look into SSH and SFTP for that... its going to be a lot more secure
[09:17] <bulltitan> see u later
[09:17] <bulltitan> bytes
[09:17] <mada> jron_: run as sudo in regular user
[09:18] <ALDI> DBO: ok, then how do i add a special dir, like /var/www ?
[09:18] <jron_> mada, i did, then i try and launch gftp after sudoing and it gives that error
[09:18] <xxyyzz> When I plug my USB stick into my computer which has Xubuntu, it comes up on the desktop fine. But when I double click on it, it says "unable to execute pmount" and won't let me open it. Is there a way to fix this?
[09:18] <DBO> ALDI, in ssh just do "sudo mkdir /var/www"
[09:18] <mada> jron_: oh, hrmmm...
[09:18] <DBO> ALDI, ssh is just like having a terminal open locally on the machine, only its over the network
[09:18] <LMJ_work> damned Hobbsee, i installed both, the command is still not available :-/
[09:18] <DBO> thats exactly what it was designed to do
[09:18] <jron_> i really need gftp to be able to write to a newly mounted drive under this livecd so i can get this iso downloaded...
[09:18] <ALDI> dbo: the directory already exists, just want it to be editable for the ftp user
[09:19] <jron_> but it is giving me this issue =(
[09:19] <ALDI> dbo: ssh works fine :-)
[09:19] <Hobbsee> LMJ_work: hmmm...i'm not sure
[09:19] <xxyyzz> I don't mind re-formatting the USB stick... if that helps...
[09:19] <xxyyzz> But I don't know how on Xubuntu.
[09:19] <xxyyzz> And I don't know if that will help.
[09:19] <xxyyzz> And I don't know what pmount is...
[09:19] <DBO> ALDI, then you would need to chown it to the user you want to have access rights to it.  Even if you give them access from the FTP server, if the file system doesnt have the proper permissions it wont work
[09:20] <DBO> ALDI, but in general /var/www should be owned by root...
[09:20] <HackerX> Are there any good war driving channels?
[09:20] <whitehorseNtiger> Does "apt-get install ssh" do everything I need it to?
[09:20] <jumbers> Hi, my name is Soup
[09:20] <DBO> HackerX, not here
[09:20] <Anony> whitehorseNtiger, Annoyingly YES
[09:20] <Anony> whitehorseNtiger, it even starts SSH unlike most other programs
[09:20] <jumbers> ANONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3<3<3<3<3
[09:20] <Anony> And ssh does not tell you this when you run it
[09:20] <Anony> Hi jumbers
[09:20] <ALDI> DBO: Ok, is there a way to login via FTP as root?
[09:20] <HackerX> Well i know that. thats why i asked for one
[09:21] <jumbers> wheeeee I <3 Anony
[09:21] <sn00p> Which package contains build ?\
[09:21] <bbrazil> ALDI: don't use ftp as root
[09:21] <Anony> jumbers you are not a soup.
[09:21] <DBO> ALDI, no
[09:21] <Anony> Also <3 jumbers
[09:21] <jumbers> orly
[09:21] <DBO> ALDI, most servers will specificaly prohibit that
[09:21] <Anony> jumbers, Not unless soup is bi-polar.
[09:21] <Terminus> sn00p: you mean the compiler and stuff? build-essential
[09:21] <jumbers> jumbers is a good guy
[09:21] <bbrazil> ALDI: if you must do file manipulation as root, use scp or sftp or rsync to keep everything erncrypted
[09:21] <jumbers> he's like soup
[09:22] <Anony> jumbers, you have some sort of ubuntu problem?
[09:22] <sn00p> Terminus, yea, i'm trying to compile something and build-essential is installed I get this error.  /lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
[09:22] <Anony> jumbers, I am helping with the really small stuff while I wait and pray for help with my sound card.
[09:22] <cbx33> Hi all
[09:22] <Terminus> sn00p: what are you trying to build?
[09:22] <whitehorseNtiger> Does Linux have any programs that "take over control of the desktop" through ssh like some for-profit windows computers do?  Can anyone direct me to one?
[09:22] <xnull-> !mplayer
[09:22] <ubotu> No fonts in mplayer? Install mplayer fonts. Codecs: see !codecs
[09:22] <xnull-> ?
[09:22] <ALDI> I will try that later thanx! Right now I just want to grant the ftp user "web1" the full rights on /var/www How do I do that?
[09:22] <sn00p> Terminus, some drivers for my ASUS wireless usb adaptor
[09:22] <HackerX> Anyone here ever used Metasploit?
[09:22] <cbx33> Need some help, hoping someone can advise, admitidly there is some part fedora business going on here
[09:22] <xnull-> !codecs
[09:23] <ubotu> For lots of multimedia issues this page has the useful information you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  see also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - Please use free formats: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[09:23] <jumbers> My sound sucked really bad on 5.10
[09:23] <cbx33> suffice to say I had an LVM partition that was setup working fine
[09:23] <Anony> whitehorseNtiger, you can use remote desktop to control a windows machine
[09:23] <Terminus> sn00p: i suppose you already have kernel-headers installed?
[09:23] <DBO> whitehorseNtiger, you mean like remote desktop?
[09:23] <jumbers> 6.06 made it all better :)
[09:23] <cbx33> I used ubuntu to edit the partitions
[09:23] <sn00p> Terminus, dunno how do I check
[09:23] <whitehorseNtiger> ok
[09:23] <xxyyzz> When I plug my USB stick into my computer which has Xubuntu, it comes up on the desktop fine. But when I double click on it, it says "unable to execute pmount" and won't let me open it. Is there a way to fix this?
[09:23] <mada> whitehorseNtiger: you can X forward over a ssh connection
[09:23] <Anony> jumbers, I am running 6.06, unfortunately this soundcard is not officially supported
[09:23] <cbx33> now lvm fedora complains it cannot find the uuids
[09:23] <xxyyzz> Do ubuntu/xubuntu come with support for USB sticks? Or do I have to install something extra?
[09:23] <cbx33> any ideas?
[09:23] <jumbers> That sucks :(
[09:23] <Anony> jumbers, I made a rather lengthy and dry thread about it here http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=210038
[09:23] <Terminus> sn00p: sorry, linux-headers i mean. you'll need those when building modules. dpkg -l|grep linux-headers to check.
[09:24] <DBO> whitehorseNtiger, you can also use freenx with linux which is very snappy for remote desktop, much faster than vnc
[09:24] <jumbers> Lengthy isn't my cup of tea :-/
[09:24] <Anony> hehe
[09:24] <konfuzed> ok how do I check the cpu make model and speed?   the device manger does not show that info
[09:24] <sn00p> Terminus, nope which headers do I need?
[09:24] <webmind> good morning
[09:24] <Terminus> sn00p: the one that matches your kernel version.
[09:24] <DBO> konfuzed, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[09:24] <ALDI> bbrazil: I will try that later thanx! Right now I just want to grant the ftp user "web1" the full rights on /var/www How do I do that?
[09:24] <webmind> Ihow can I set the globa
[09:24] <Terminus> sn00p: since i've never tried compiling drivers for your hardware though, i'm just guessing here.
[09:24] <webmind> err
[09:25] <webmind> I've got two questions:
[09:25] <Anony> jumbers, You a linux guy?
[09:25] <bbrazil> ALDI: easiest way is to create a real user web1, and give them permissions
[09:25] <jumbers> Si senor
[09:25] <Anony> Cool
[09:25] <webmind> how can I set the global keyboard settings (so they are right in gdm aswell) and is there a way to make my own keyboard layout ?
[09:25] <bbrazil> ALDI: my knowledge of virtual users is lacking
[09:25] <jumbers> Anony: I only have winbloes on my gaming computer
[09:25] <sn00p> Terminus, i'm trying it
[09:26] <Anony> jumbers, I am trying to become better with linux, although I doubt I will ever know as much about linux as I do about windows.
[09:26] <konfuzed> model name      : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+
[09:26] <konfuzed> stepping        : 0
[09:26] <konfuzed> cpu MHz         : 2010.203
[09:26] <konfuzed> cache size      : 512 KB
[09:26] <jumbers> My notebook has been cleansed of it
[09:26] <mada> jumbers: get cedega and ditch the MS shit
[09:26] <Anony> jumbers, lol
[09:26] <jumbers> mada: Not everything works on cedega
[09:26] <mada> jumbers: true ...
[09:26] <jumbers> mada: I need EQ2 to work
[09:26] <mada> konfuzed: i have that proc ... Venice core right?
[09:26] <Terminus> mada: the whole point2play thing seems kinda messy. :(
[09:26] <mada> jumbers: fair enough
[09:26] <mada> Terminus: never used it, just know of it
[09:27] <mada> i don't game ... i code
[09:27] <jumbers> mada: I really would LOVE to get fully Linux, but it's not practical for games :(
[09:27] <Terminus> mada: i cancelled my subscription. my computer can't handle new games anyway.
[09:27] <snoops> or flash web developers or photoshop people jumbers :(
[09:27] <Zdra> can someone suggest me a good program to create webpage, please ? (no not vim/emacs and other text editor) :-)
[09:27] <jumbers> Photoshop can be replaced with GIMP
[09:27] <Anony> I am still amazed at how fast Ubuntu runs on my p2 366mhz
[09:27] <mada> jumbers: i don't game so it was really easy for me to go all linux, been onlinux only for about 6 years (was on debian for 5 of them and just went ubuntu a month ago)
[09:27] <Terminus> jumbers: all of the games from ID run on linux. at least you have that. and ut2004 too. :)
[09:28] <jumbers> Terminus: Too bad I don't have those :(
[09:28] <Terminus> Zdra: bluefish? scite?
[09:28] <Flannel> Zdra: if you're looking for WYSIWYG, your best bet is nvu.  But, most people /do/ use text editors.
[09:28] <jumbers> Terminus: All I have is the original Quake
[09:28] <Ramunas> hello everybody
[09:28] <hunkyspunky1> hi
[09:28] <mada> hiya Ramunas
[09:28] <konfuzed> mada, I'd like to confirm that but I cant see it listed - chcec this out  bogomips        : 3981.31
[09:28] <Terminus> jumbers: for free games, enemy territory and tremulous run natively.
[09:28] <snoops> jumbers gimp lacks a lot in the advanced features.. and well, it's hard to be the rebel against the industry when you rely on it to live
[09:28] <konfuzed> almost 4000 bogomips
[09:29] <jumbers> snoops: Dual boot only when you absolutely need to? :-/
[09:29] <hawkaloogie> Inkscape is awesome for an Illustrator/Freehand alternative
[09:29] <hunkyspunky1> how is the new ubuntu version comapred to the old 5.10?
[09:29] <mada> konfuzed: oh ... i built mine so i bought the proc off the net
[09:29] <Zdra> Terminus: Flannel: yes I'm looking for wysiwyg but it's not for me... thx for answers !
[09:29] <hawkaloogie> hunkyspunky1, awesome, but for a couple upgrade snags
[09:29] <EricTheMidget> hunkyspunky1, so far so good here - ndiswrapper aside...
[09:29] <mada> hunkyspunky1: sex, heaven, orgasmic .... do i really need to go on?
[09:29] <hunkyspunky1> i use to have 5.10
[09:29] <snoops> jumbers not practical.. Oh well I'm hoping that'll change with time
[09:29] <delmar> I'm having a problem with an older system...It installs fine (Dapper 606 Alt CD, selected Server). It has two little 4.6g SCSI disks Raid Mirrored on an Adaptec 2110S Raid controler. As I say, it installs just fine.  When It's done and reboots, it boots kernel 2.6.15-23-386 but a short way after, I see error messages like "iop0: Device already claimed"  and "iop0:  DMA / IO allocation for I20 controler failed"  a while later it doe
[09:29] <delmar> s.. "ALERT! /dev/i2o/hda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" .. which it does.     It would seem Dapper doesn't like the adaptec 2110S?  Anyone know the answer?
[09:29] <Terminus> Zdra: if you're looking for the equivalent of dreamweaver, i don't think you'll find it.
[09:30] <konfuzed> mada, this one is supposed to be very over clockable but I dont have any need or use for that
[09:30] <Terminus> oh! nvu... forgot about that. heh
[09:30] <hunkyspunky1> is it any faster?
[09:30] <Zdra> Terminus: A windows user who want to switch to ubuntu ask me how he can replace frontpage
[09:30] <konfuzed> this box is basically a web browser and webmail
[09:30] <hawkaloogie> Zdra, kde has something. quanta? quark? i forget
[09:30] <mada> konfuzed: me either, i am a programmer in the making, not a gamer ... i have no need for overclocking
[09:30] <EricTheMidget> my next box is going to be an overclocked dual core 2.66 to 4.0
[09:30] <snoops> Zdra is this for template creation?
[09:30] <Anony> I want to set up a screensaver that scrolls the news like in the matrix.
[09:31] <mada> konfuzed: and i must say that is a very powerful web browser and mail checker you have
[09:31] <Anony> But first sound.
[09:31] <snoops> eg, get your website template going, then add the backend to it Zdra?
[09:31] <mada> Anony: then you should code one
[09:31] <Terminus> Zdra: looks like nvu is your best bet then.
[09:31] <HackerX> How do i execute and file?
[09:31] <konfuzed> Zdra, its better to shoot people who persist in using frontpage
[09:31] <mada> Anony: code one that takes in RSS feeds
[09:31] <rebelfallen> Is there a way to install ubuntu to a partition without using iso/cd ?
[09:31] <mada> konfuzed: amen
[09:31] <Zdra> it is for webpages like that: http://users.skynet.be/ptilougarou/ (oh my god)
[09:31] <konfuzed> with a water pistol of course
[09:31] <mada> rebelfallen: yup
[09:31] <konfuzed> filled with ink
[09:32] <hunkyspunky1> ericthemidgit..u can actually take it to 4.0 ghz?
[09:32] <mada> rebelfallen: you can install from hard drive off a data partition
[09:32] <rebelfallen> Im running fedora right now and want to make the switch.
[09:32] <Anony> mada, I have alot of dumb coding projects in line before the screensaver. First I need to learn to code more than simple C cli crap
[09:32] <snoops> Zdra doesn't really answer my question.. you can use this to build a website dynamically, but you still need to write the code, but at least you see instant results http://www.gregtaff.com/rendar2.html
[09:32] <whitehorseNtiger> Sorry for the delay.  I have a newborn to care for.  Thanks for the advise.
[09:32] <HackerX> How do i execute a file in the terminal?
[09:32] <EricTheMidget> hunkyspunky1, you can take it to 4.1 but im not trying to be greedy
[09:32] <hawkaloogie> Zdra, nVu seems to be a good one
[09:32] <hunkyspunky1> wow
[09:33] <Zdra> snoops: skynet.be doesn't have PHP so I assume it's static ;)
[09:33] <Anony> HackerX, What file? is it a script you made?
[09:33] <mada> Anony: fair enough, you should learn c++, java and python ... those will set you up nicely for the real world
[09:33] <hunkyspunky1> i got p4..but them couldn't go that fast
[09:33] <HackerX> yea
[09:33] <mada> Anony: "real world"*
[09:33] <Anony> HackerX, chmod +x FILENAME
[09:33] <EricTheMidget> hunkyspunky1, liquid cooling
[09:33] <hunkyspunky1> i'm getting a laptop though with dul core
[09:33] <konfuzed> mada, I deserved a semi hefty system for my personal use
[09:33] <Anony> HackerX, and then ./scriptname
[09:33] <hunkyspunky1> yah need alot cooling..lol but should be faster
[09:33] <EricTheMidget> liquid cooling - cannot be done with air
[09:33] <snoops> Zdra ah well I guess it's worth for you to have a quick gander at rendar2 then.. might speed up your development time at least
[09:34] <fractalworld> I downgraded from Edgy back to Dapper.  One little problem:  /lib/mount/init-functions.sh and /lib/init/vars.sh are being called and don't exist.  This seems to be an issue with sysvinit, which I've already reinstalled.  Any ideas?
[09:34] <mada> konfuzed: fair enough ... i just built this one with money i saved, i am a broke college student trying to make my way through
[09:34] <rebelfallen> mada: what if I have only one main partition? can it be installed while my current partition is in use?
[09:34] <hunkyspunky1> whats the best ubnut version?
[09:34] <konfuzed> never had one before and I started with some programing 25 years ago and previous two computers are 550Mhz a piece
[09:34] <fractalworld> hunkyspunky1, Dapper (6.06 LTS
[09:34] <mada> rebelfallen: oooo, good question ... i would google around the ubuntu forums for "dapper hard disk install" ... i haven't done a hard disk install in over a year
[09:35] <rebelfallen> thanks :)
[09:35] <mada> hunkyspunky1: dapper (6.06)
[09:35] <hunkyspunky1> is kubuntu, edubuntu, x ubuntu any good?
[09:35] <concept10> hunkyspunky1, you have to judge for yourself
[09:35] <fractalworld> hunkyspunky1, I sometimes like KDE, but it doesn't get as much love as Gnome Ubuntu.
[09:35] <Madpilot> hunkyspunky1, the only difference between them is the desktops/WMs
[09:36] <mada> hunkyspunky1: each is just as good as the next, just depends on how you want to interact with your desktop ... and edubuntu is mainly just ubuntu with educational software standard installed
[09:36] <paramed> hi all
[09:36] <mada> fractalworld: amen
[09:36] <concept10>  does decaf really have no caffiene?
[09:36] <hunkyspunky1> ok
[09:36] <hunkyspunky1> thanks
[09:36] <paramed> I am having problems installing a network printer which is connected to a Win XP pc in my office...
[09:36] <paramed> any ideas?
[09:36] <HackerX> Is there any simpler command to just run a script?
[09:36] <hunkyspunky1> gotta go
[09:36] <hunkyspunky1> later all
[09:36] <hunkyspunky1> good night
[09:36] <Zdra> thx to you all, I'm installing/testing those programs... I hop it will be enough to let him forget winXP :-)
[09:37] <Anony> HackerX, I dont think so. You have to set +x (execute) for it to be run at all, and ./scriptname is the shortest method I know of calling the script
[09:37] <paramed> can anyone help me with getting the printer working?
[09:37] <HackerX> ok
[09:37] <mada> paramed: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-77516.html
[09:38] <HackerX> what about something like metasploit do i have to run it that way?
[09:38] <Guyver`> sup
[09:38] <mada> paramed: that might help
[09:38] <Guyver`> you tell me
[09:38] <DBO> Anony, if its a shell script he can run it by ". ./scriptname" and then he doesnt have to chmod it <-- HackerX
[09:38] <snoops> is there a list of supported scanners and printers for dapper?
[09:38] <paramed> thanks mada.. I'll check it out..
[09:38] <Anony> DBO, Cool
[09:38] <DBO> Anony, that will run it in the current shell though, so if the script does and exit 0, the shell will close
[09:38] <xnull-> how do i remove a package without the deps.? something like rpm -e --nodeps package
[09:38] <rebelfallen> Should I just run a liveCD install?
[09:38] <Anony> DBO Roger that
[09:39] <paramed> no help.. that is for a jet direct printer...
[09:39] <paramed> I have it shared on windows XP pc...
[09:39] <mada> rebelfallen: yes, its easier and the gui is nice to look at
[09:39] <rebelfallen> perfecto.
[09:40] <mada> paramed: sorry, wrong link .... this is the one i meant to send http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-5383.html
[09:40] <HackerX> dbo, is there an easy way to call Metasploit i got it to work that way but i think theres a way to just call it
[09:40] <mada> i'm out ....
[09:40] <DBO> HackerX, just symlink it into /usr/bin, then you can just call it like any other program
[09:40] <Anony> Wrong clipboard.
[09:41] <HackerX> dbo, how do i go about doing that?
[09:41] <roberto> What's an easy GUI FTP client?
[09:41] <roberto> Like Filezilla...?
[09:41] <DBO> HackerX, sudo ls -s /path/to/metasploitmainfile /usr/bin/metasploit
[09:42] <someothernick> gftp
[09:43] <whitehorseNtiger> Ok.  Easy question.  Really hard answer.
[09:43] <whitehorseNtiger> I have ssh working GRRRREAT.
[09:43] <xnull-> how do i remove a package without the deps.? something like rpm -e --nodeps package
[09:43] <DBO> (frosted flakes anyone?)
[09:43] <DBO> xnull-, sudo dpkg -P --force-depends package
[09:43] <whitehorseNtiger> How would an idiot like me get my desktop forwarded to a PDA?
[09:43] <Terminus> DBO: can i have milk with that? :)
[09:44] <airzer0> hi
[09:44] <DBO> whitehorseNtiger, uhm... you mean the GUI?
[09:44] <xnull-> DBO: thanks dude
[09:44] <whitehorseNtiger> hehe  Yeah, well at least the browser would be nice.
[09:44] <whitehorseNtiger> :)
[09:44] <whitehorseNtiger> impossible I guess
[09:44] <DBO> whitehorseNtiger, uhhh... you dont
[09:44] <DBO> unless your PDA runs xwindows anyhow...
[09:45] <Terminus> or has a vnc client? :)
[09:45] <zewo> Hi guys, anybody else experiencing an xserver crash when opening up the update manager to fetch today's updates?
[09:45] <zewo> The updates are ppp, login and passwd. Each time I open the update manager to fetch them X bombs out.
[09:45] <depi> hi all, do you recommend to you aptitude instead of apt-get? (I really like that it removes all dependencies when uninstalling, but are there any cons too?)
[09:45] <depi> *use
[09:46] <whitehorseNtiger> I am thinking of running linux on my pda.  Right now it is pocket pc with SSH client.
[09:46] <Ribs> zewo: yes
[09:46] <Ribs> I had that yesterday
[09:47] <zewo> Ribs: great I am not alone :D
[09:47] <Ribs> just right click the icon instead, and select "install updates" from the pop-up menu
[09:47] <Nao> I need to add a line to xorg.conf, how do I save it with the new line?
[09:47] <zewo> Ribs: am I right that I can work around it by right click ... snap! ok thanks confirmation
[09:47] <Terminus> depi: there doesn't seem to be any cons.
[09:47] <zewo> anybody logged a bug report of this behaviour?
[09:47] <depi> Teminus: so I should use aptitude without any problems?
[09:47] <KenSentMe|afk> Nao: open it with 'sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf' , then you can save it
[09:48] <Nao> ok great, thanks
[09:48] <Terminus> depi: yeah... so far, i haven't had any problems with it.
[09:48] <whitehorseNtiger> Is there a way to resize my desktop to 320 X 280 hehehehehehehe
[09:48] <depi> Terminus: okay
[09:48] <Anony> There really isnt anything better than gftp?
[09:48] <depi> Terminus: thanks
[09:48] <whitehorseNtiger> Then it would be PDA size I think
[09:48] <KenSentMe|afk> !resolution > whitehorseNtiger
[09:48] <Terminus> depi: good luck. :)
[09:48] <jumbers> 320x240 you mean
[09:48] <Anony> gftp has the features of a win 3.1 ftp client I used to use called "FTP COMMANDER!"
[09:49] <alexbr> Hi all
[09:49] <KenSentMe> alexbr: hi
[09:49] <whitehorseNtiger> Sorry.  that small of a resolution is not an option.

[09:53] <alexbr> KenSentMe:  thanks
[09:53] <spades> IRCMonkeyx what are you doing that is showing that error?
[09:54] <IRCMonkeyx> spades i try to install ubuntu, by manual partioning
[09:54] <roberto> What's an easy to use GUI FTP client?
[09:54] <IRCMonkeyx> and the drive that i wanna install ubuntu is fat32, is it problem??
[09:55] <DBO> roberto, places -> connect to server...
[09:55] <spades> never tried on a fat32 so im not sure
[09:55] <DBO> IRCMonkeyx, it wont install on FAT32, you will have to repartition it
[09:56] <whitehorseNtiger> Someone said I could forward X to an ssh client on another computer?  Is that right?
[09:56] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo, should i make it ntfs? how will i repartition__?
[09:56] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo, how can i make it ext3?
[09:56] <DBO> IRCMonkeyx, ubuntu installer has a partitioner that will take care of that
[09:57] <whitehorseNtiger> Can two ubuntu users have different screen res sizes?
[09:58] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo, i install from cd, ubuntu installer didnt do anything for that, should i start tool from spesific place??
[09:58] <xxyyzz> When I plug my USB stick into my computer which has Xubuntu, it comes up on the desktop fine. But when I double click on it, it says "unable to execute pmount" and won't let me open it. Is there a way to fix this?
[09:58] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo, i use live cd for 6.0.6
[09:58] <DBO> IRCMonkeyx, when you tell it which hard drive to install it on it will automagically set up the partitions
[09:59] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo, ok i did it,
[09:59] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo,what did i do wrong?
[09:59] <DBO> what makes you think you did it wrong?
[10:00] <IRCMonkeyx> because i get that error ,when installation starts
[10:00] <OMGLAZERS> Does anyone know if it's possible to map my command key for a macintosh keyboard to something other than the command (like, ctrl, so it's actually useful in linux?)
[10:00] <IRCMonkeyx> shouldnt it be written ext3 instead of fat32?
[10:01] <IRCMonkeyx> changing to ntfs may solve my problem??
[10:01] <HackerX> How do i compile an install?
[10:01] <DBO> IRCMonkeyx, im not really sure where you are going wrong... I mean its pretty easy to use (i use the text installer though)
[10:01] <DBO> perhaps someone else could better figure out where you are going wrong
[10:02] <pks> hello, why dpkg-reconfigure locales, does not show me list of locales to choose from?
[10:02] <IRCMonkeyx> i hope so
[10:02] <bane> yes ircmonkey, ntfs may solve your problem
[10:02] <DBO> uhhh....
[10:02] <crimsun> pks: because you're not supposed to do that anymore, as of Dapper. Use locale-gen.
[10:02] <IRCMonkeyx> ok bane i am changing into ntfs
[10:02] <pks> crimsun: oh
[10:02] <crimsun> pks: pass locale-gen a whitespace-delimited list of first-column locales from /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
[10:03] <HackerX> How do i compile an install from the terminal?
[10:03] <IRCMonkeyx> but as i know, fat32 is better for ubuntu than ntfs, am i wrong?
[10:04] <IRCMonkeyx> noone got this error before?? "invalid file system for mount point"
[10:04] <DBO> IRCMonkeyx, are you sure you are selecting the drive durring the installation process and letting it erase the contents of the drive?
[10:04] <pks> crimsun: ok, it seems to work
[10:04] <pks> crimsun: thanks
[10:05] <crimsun> pks: np
[10:05] <bane> fat32 doesnt allow permissions
[10:05] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo i only select manually partitioning
[10:06] <DBO> IRCMonkeyx, dont
[10:07] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo i have win xp, i wanna use both
[10:07] <bane> chek this, im tired so i may be reading it wrong
[10:07] <DBO> IRCMonkeyx, how many partitions do you have?
[10:07] <bane> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-37493.html
[10:07] <IRCMonkeyx> i have 5 partitions
[10:07] <bane> wow lol

[10:10] <DBO> IRCMonkeyx, I really dont know what to tell you... I mean... I dont think I can explain any clearer than the walkthrough does...

[10:11] <IRCMonkeyx> yokmu yahuu bir tandkkk???
[10:11] <Kilopopo> why is it that when i leave a partition unmounted (cause its windows partition) ubuntu reports that it isnt mounted and wont let me go to the next stage of installation
[10:11] <gatekeeper> HackerX:
[10:11] <gatekeeper> ./configure
[10:11] <gatekeeper> make
[10:11] <gatekeeper> su to root
[10:11] <gatekeeper> checkinstall
[10:12] <bane> yes im reading it now ompaul
[10:12] <ompaul> !paste
[10:12] <Teejay_wp> but it still comes up with the same error
[10:12] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[10:12] <Kilopopo> pls
[10:12] <Kilopopo> help
[10:12] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo, no problem, thanx
[10:12] <Kilopopo> why is it that when i leave a partition unmounted (cause its windows partition) ubuntu reports that it isnt mounted and wont let me go to the next stage of installation
[10:12] <ompaul> !enter
[10:12] <londondave> at last this ueagle-atm driver worked-thanks people
[10:12] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[10:12] <Teejay_wp> which I explained in here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d17320
[10:12] <IRCMonkeyx> milletttt
[10:13] <ompaul> Teejay_wp, what are you trying to watch?
[10:13] <Teejay_wp> a wmv movie
[10:13] <Teejay_wp> I am just starting up totem so I can view it
[10:13] <ompaul> Teejay_wp, close totem/mplayer or anything like that and try this right click on the file and see what happens
[10:14] <IRCMonkeyx> You'll then be presented with three options. This first option is ideal for users who want to set up a dual-boot (where you can choose whether you want to use Windows or Ubuntu each time you boot up your computer) but know very little about setting one up. Ubuntu will automatically shrink your Windows partition and create a new Ubuntu partition out of the free space.
[10:14] <IRCMonkeyx> if i choose that, do i lose my data???
[10:14] <Kilopopo> hi IRCMonkeyx
[10:14] <IRCMonkeyx> hi kilopopo
[10:14] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyx, no, however to make life easy defrag your windows partition first
[10:14] <Kilopopo> whats up dude
[10:14] <Teejay_wp> when I right clicked it it uses Xine
[10:15] <ompaul> Teejay_wp, and then it says that?
[10:15] <Teejay_wp> and xine loaded up okay, but I can view the files because it is encrypted
[10:15] <Teejay_wp> I can't
[10:15] <ompaul> ahhhh
[10:15] <ompaul> that would be a drm issue then
[10:15] <Teejay_wp> drm?
[10:15] <ompaul> !drm
[10:15] <ubotu> I know nothing about drm
[10:16] <ompaul> Teejay_wp, I take it you have seen at least one wmv on your machine?
[10:16] <ompaul> Teejay_wp, it has worked at some time in the past?
[10:16] <IRCMonkeyx> ompaul i will choose resize ide1master,but everyone says choose manuel partitioning, if you dont wanna lose your data
[10:16] <Kilopopo> hi dorel__
[10:16] <dorel__> hi
[10:16] <Teejay_wp> I only have just installed ubuntu, but I will try and watch a wmv file just wait
[10:16] <ompaul> !dualboot
[10:16] <Kilopopo> whats going on
[10:16] <ubotu> Dual boot instructions for x86/amd64 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WindowsDualBootHowTo - for mac https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
[10:16] <Kilopopo> hi ompaul
[10:16] <dorel__> all good
[10:16] <Kilopopo> hi Healot
[10:17] <Kilopopo> hi seank_
[10:17] <Kilopopo> have anyone used xgl on ubuntu
[10:17] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyx, you can read that there as pointed by ubotu - it is the collective knowledge of the community - it works
[10:17] <Teejay_wp> the wmv movie I downloaded on xine worked fine
[10:17] <K^Holtz> i just installed flash player, but i still cant watch videos on break.com... any idea why?
[10:17] <ompaul> Kilopopo, the xgl channel is #ubuntu-xgl please talk about xgl there
[10:18] <Kilopopo> ok
[10:18] <Kilopopo> sorry ompaul
[10:18] <ompaul> no worries
[10:18] <londondave> Kilopopo: I just tried to use xgl, there is a guide on digg.com, but no good, had to get the old xorg.conf file back
[10:18] <Anony> If I want to follow these instructions on my ubuntu where do I put the lines that normally go into /etc/modules.conf http://mailman.linux-thinkpad.org/pipermail/linux-thinkpad/2003-May/011434.html
[10:18] <IRCMonkeyx> ompaul, i am mixed, thanx anyways
[10:18] <ompaul> londondave, the same channel will help if it is achievable #ubuntu-xgl
[10:19] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyx, it will work automatically as I said defrag windows first
[10:19] <Kilopopo> ok i am installing stuff now
[10:19] <Kilopopo> actually installing ubuntu
[10:19] <IRCMonkeyx> ok ompaul let me try, thank you
[10:19] <Kilopopo> how do i configure the kernel
[10:20] <IRCMonkeyx> bye to all
[10:20] <ompaul> Kilopopo, it should happen automatically
[10:20] <ompaul> Kilopopo, this is not linux of 6 years ago :-) it has changed a lot in that time and in the last two years significant change has taken place
[10:21] <cntb> using alternate CD how to raise resolution of ati all onboard > 640x480 ?
[10:21] <mitrovarr> I'm having the strangest samba problems... I set this computer up with a config that I'm pretty sure is good, and it shows up find on itself, but not on any of the other computers on the LAN (they give a 'failed to connect to MITROVARR(20) (0.0.0.0) error
[10:23] <mitrovarr> anyone know much about setting samba up?
[10:23] <asdx> mitrovarr: me
[10:23] <sn00p> How do I load a module at startup  in ubuntu?
[10:23] <ompaul> !samba
[10:23] <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
[10:23] <mitrovarr> how are you supposed to set up the wins topology?  make every sharing computer a wins server?  make one a server and the rest clients?
[10:23] <ompaul> sn00p, modprobe it and add it to /etc/modules
[10:23] <mitrovarr> oh and thanks ompaul, that's helpful
[10:24] <Anony> Cna I use "alias" in the /etc/modules file?
[10:24] <Anony> *Can I use "alias" in the /etc/modules file?
[10:24] <gatekeeper> mitrovarr: you can use the GUI to help you, have a look at system settings, In the Internet & Network select sharing then File sharing
[10:24] <Anony> Oh wait that file doesnt exist I have been reading about other distros for too long
[10:24] <gatekeeper> mitrovarr: are you trying to share 2 linux boxes or linux with windows?
[10:25] <ompaul> Anony, you can have a /etc/modules
[10:25] <mitrovarr> gatekeeper:  2 linux boxes
[10:25] <ompaul> Anony, but alias - call it like it is
[10:25] <Anony> ompaul, I will reboot and pray, thanks.
[10:25] <mitrovarr> I'm using samba because I'm reasonably familiar with it (as opposed to nfs of which I know absolutely nothing)
[10:25] <ompaul> !nfs
[10:25] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NFSClientHowTo and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NFSServerHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[10:25] <gatekeeper> mitrovarr: then you don't want samba you want NFS Network File Sharing
[10:26] <mitrovarr> gatekeeper:  I just need this for one transfer and then never again.  Is it really necessary to learn how to configure an entire network protocol for it?
[10:27] <markc> has anyone built a new kernel for dapper ? .. what is the debian/rules invocation for a 686 SMP ?
[10:27] <markc> AUTOBUILD=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-debs flavours=686 <- I tried this and it seems it still tried to build an i386 kernel.. but it crapped out anyway
[10:27] <ompaul> there is a smp kernel already
[10:28] <ompaul> apt-cache search smp
[10:30] <markc> ompaul> I need to build a kernel later than 2.6.16 for a hsfmodem driver
[10:31] <yango> hi... which one is your favorite regexp editor (if any) ?
[10:31] <markc> anyone tried this -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild ... if so, you might know what I need to use for 6868/SMP ?
[10:31] <ompaul> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux'). You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[10:32] <mitrovarr> well, thanks for the help guys, I'm going to read those linked documents
[10:33] <markc> ompaul> I have tried this method and the process died on me... I want to try again, now I've seen the i386 results, but for a single 686/SMP deb instead of the hour it takes to provide 20 packages that I don't need
[10:33] <Ribs> why not just use the supplied SMP kernel?
[10:33] <ompaul> Ribs,he wants to go up a . version to .16
[10:33] <hastesaver> How/where do I set a umask?
[10:34] <markc> Ribs> because I need a kernel later than 2.6.16 for a hsfmodem (that won't work with a 2.6.15 kernel)
[10:34] <hastesaver> Setting umask in .bashrc doesn't affect Nautilus and other GUI apps... is there some global place I should do it?
[10:34] <bxs> hi
[10:34] <bjv> !xnest
[10:34] <ubotu> I know nothing about xnest
[10:35] <lightstar> !presario
[10:35] <ubotu> I know nothing about presario
[10:35] <makolako> hi ppl....anyone knows how to mount my usb key ?
[10:35] <bjv> :(
[10:35] <ompaul> markc, edgy which is under test at the moment is running 2.6.17 but I would not suggest that - you could upgrade and hope nothing you need is broken and wait for the "flights" or whatever they will be called this time
[10:35] <lightstar> !ipw2200
[10:35] <ubotu> I know nothing about ipw2200
[10:35] <markc> I've got the 2.6.17-4 git repo on board, and tried the suggested method but the process died... like I say, I'd like to try again but with a more focussed invocation that just gets me a single 686/SMP kernel image
[10:35] <lightstar> !laptop
[10:35] <ubotu> Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org
[10:36] <bxs> !iso-8859-1
[10:36] <ubotu> I know nothing about iso-8859-1
[10:36] <makolako> !usb key
[10:36] <ubotu> I know nothing about usb key
[10:36] <markc> ompaul> bin thar :)  and this is a new lappie install... I only need a later kernel
[10:36] <makolako> !thumb drives
[10:36] <ubotu> I know nothing about thumb drives
[10:36] <ompaul> markc, apt-get it from edgy
[10:36] <EdLin> !botabuse
[10:36] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots
[10:37] <whiter> i need a little help
[10:37] <markc> lightstar> everything works except my modem...
[10:37] <ompaul> markc, then go back to dapper - but it may be an "interesting" result
[10:37] <bxs> hm, maybe someone can help me: i need to have ISO-8859-1 support. where do i get the corresponding locale archive?
[10:37] <makolako> ppl ...anyone knows how to mount a usb key ?
[10:37] <whiter> see i want to do a server install of ubuntu right, but i want a gui preferably fluxbox... so im wondering are there any GUI system tools (like the ones that come with gnome) that i could use
[10:37] <markc> ompaul> okay, I'll try pinning dapper and just update the kernel from edgy and see how that goes
[10:38] <ompaul> makolako, it should auto mount - if it does not appear on the desktop just unplug it and plug it into another socket
[10:38] <whiter> cause i want to be able to change screen resolution and stuff like that graphically but i know nothing comes with fluxbox
[10:38] <markc> bit af a waste of a 250mb git repo though
[10:38] <makolako> ompaul: ok ty
[10:38] <Daveyboy> how do you join ubuntu to a windows 2000 domain?
[10:38] <ompaul> !samba > Daveyboy
[10:38] <markc> ompaul> thanks for your suggestions
[10:38] <ompaul> Daveyboy, please read the message from ubotu
[10:39] <ompaul> markc yq
[10:39] <lightstar> markc, even the wireless? i cant get mine 2 work
[10:39] <ompaul> markc yw even
[10:39] <Jesse> !samba
[10:39] <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
[10:39] <markc> lightstar> yes.. I'm using wireless now... 48 hours and it's been solid
[10:39] <Daveyboy> is that for a workgroup or a domain?
[10:39] <lightstar> markc, cool...did u do ne special config?
[10:39] <Jesse> 1 more hour till i can finally install ubuntu! hurrar
[10:40] <hav0k> does anyone know why green scan lines are at the top of videos in totem?  it didnt do this before i upgraded to 6.04
[10:40] <ompaul> Daveyboy, comments on there about domain
[10:40] <Jesse> any programs that are a must install
[10:40] <ompaul> Jesse, those you want - I don't know your needs :)
[10:40] <ompaul> Jesse, and the basic install is kinda smart
[10:41] <Jesse> ompaul, does it come with a dvd player?
[10:41] <markc> lightstar> trying to think back on what I did... I think I only had to add some lines to /etc/network/interfaces to get it to auto connect on bootup. otherwise it worked from the initial install... intel pro 3945 on a del inspiron 640m
[10:41] <hav0k> does anyone know why green scan lines are at the top of videos in totem?  it didnt do this before i upgraded to 6.04
[10:42] <ompaul> Jesse, please read the urls sent to you by ubotu
[10:42] <Jesse> ok
[10:42] <lightstar> markc, i c..mine's a presario v2000..it just cant connect to an AP..checking up on forums now:)
[10:42] <Jesse> ompaul sounds like ill be using that a bit
[10:43] <ompaul> hav0k, you can't be running the same version of ubuntu as the rest of us :-) we are mostly on 6.06 - your scan lines --- strange that check it out in mplayer
[10:43] <markc> lightstar> any idea what the wireless chipset is ? ... my lspci just gave me a Intel Corporation: Unknown device 4222
[10:44] <Jesse> also do the w32codecs play windows media 11 files?
[10:44] <markc> lightstar> and the wireless device was eth1, not a wlan0... when I did an ifconfig on first reboot it was "just there" (but not connected)
[10:44] <Schalken> are there any good 3d games for ubuntu?
[10:45] <ompaul> Jesse, it is all documented in what the bot sent you
[10:45] <lightstar> markc, mine's eth1 as well..i read n found reference to ipw2000, which is loaded
[10:45] <ompaul> Jesse, media 11
[10:45] <ompaul> Jesse, you may have to wait on that
[10:45] <Jesse> Schalken, sure are unreal tournament works under linux
[10:46] <Jesse> ok
[10:46] <markc> lightstar> so is eth1 up when you do an ifconfig ? .. does iwconfig show anything ?
[10:46] <Schalken> Jesse: lol i mean free ones :p
[10:46] <njan> Schalken, take a look at enemy territory and true combat:elite (which is a mod for it)
[10:46] <prammy> Doom3, Quake4, UT2004, Quake3 + most mods
[10:46] <njan> Schalken, both of them are free
[10:46] <prammy> hmm
[10:46] <prammy> try www.linuxgames.com or www.happypenguin.org
[10:46] <Schalken> njan: oh okay thanks
[10:46] <njan> Schalken, americas army v1.5 also has a native linux version although they haven't released v1.6 yet
[10:46] <prammy> huge listing of games
[10:47] <markc> lightstar> if iwconfig shows something for eth1 then you'll be just about right
[10:48] <prammy> whee having fun setting up Samba+LDAP with Fedora Directory Server as the ldap server
[10:49] <lightstar> markc, eth0 and eth1
[10:49] <lightstar> markc, i tried doin a manual iwconfig but it cant associate w the AP
[10:49] <markc> lightstar>  good, does iwconfig give you anything for eth1 ?
[10:50] <Phuzion> How can I install a megaton of perl packages?
[10:50] <Ng> Seveas: irc addiction? ;)
[10:50] <markc> lightstar> but does it show an entry for eth1
[10:50] <Seveas> Ng, no, IRC responsibilities
[10:50] <lightstar> marks, yup..even iwlist eth1 scan shows results
[10:50] <whiter> how would i install gtk by itself
[10:50] <lightstar> markc, yeah it has an entry
[10:51] <markc> lightstar> have you added the iwconfig entries to /etc/network/uinterfaces and done an ifup eth1 ?
[10:51] <lightstar> markc, tried that..even used network-admin..still same results
[10:51] <Phuzion> I need Simple.pm for perl, is there a way to install more perl packages with apt-get?

[10:52] <markc> lightstar> okay, I thought maybe you could a copy of my settings and that may help
[10:52] <xtracto> is there a way to download a copy of all the ubunty repositories?
[10:52] <ompaul> Anony, DONT PASTE thanks - use paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[10:53] <xtracto> or something like that?
[10:53] <xtracto> I installed xubuntu on a computer that does not have internet
[10:53] <ompaul> xtracto, there are ~ 24 gigs of them
[10:53] <xtracto> mmm
[10:53] <xtracto> darn
[10:53] <lightstar> markc, thx..i could try that...since everything else i tried didnt work
[10:53] <xtracto> quite a lot
[10:53] <xtracto> :p
[10:54] <Anony> xtracto, make a list of what you want and just get those repositories
[10:54] <lightstar> markc, network-admin is a pain :(
[10:54] <ompaul> xtracto, go to packages.ubuntu.com and have a root around and you will get something that suits you

[10:58] <JavaChip> hey all
[10:59] <mhd> mornin'
[11:00] <JavaChip> anyone here have experience with broadcom 43xx wireless cards?
[11:00] <stephan__> i wanna make a script to close certain programs....whats the best way to close the programs
[11:01] <ompaul> !broadcom > JavaChip
[11:01] <ompaul> JavaChip, please read the url that ubotu pointed you too
[11:01] <Phuzion> stephan__:  kill -9 pid number
[11:01] <JavaChip> I've been all over the howtos, but I'm at my witt's end
[11:01] <Phuzion> So, if you want to kill something with the pid of 555, "kill -9 555" minus quotes, of course
[11:01] <Uncle_Wiggle> Phuzion how do you findout the pid of it?
[11:01] <Phuzion> ps aux
[11:01] <Phuzion> lists all processes
[11:01] <Uncle_Wiggle> thanks.
[11:01] <stephan__> Phuzion, would that be like just pressing the close button
[11:02] <Phuzion> Umm
[11:02] <Phuzion> That would be the Linux equivalent of Control-Alt-Delete for Windows
[11:02] <Uncle_Wiggle> you want to close the program, stephan__... lol
[11:02] <Phuzion> But even faster
[11:02] <stephan__> Phuzion, cause i dont wanna lose anything saved
[11:02] <Phuzion> Oh
[11:02] <Phuzion> Alright, that I'm not sure about
[11:02] <Jesse> Phuzion, lol any thing is faster then windows control-alt-delete
[11:03] <Phuzion> Plus, I'd suggest against using pid's to close programs
[11:03] <Phuzion> Jesse:  Good point
[11:03] <stephan__> what i exactly wanna do is make a script to kill all the kde / gnome process eating up junk
[11:03] <ompaul> JavaChip, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[11:03] <stephan__> but not lose anything important
[11:03] <Phuzion> stephan__:  pid's are dynamic, so pid 573 might end up being something different every time
[11:03] <Phuzion> haha, 573, inside joke
[11:03] <sn00p> i'm trying to get my wireless card working with kismet, I try to start and it says bad package or sourceline cananybody help meo ut and tell me what I need to put in the source line?
[11:03] <Phuzion> totally unintentional too
[11:03] <stephan__> hehe
[11:04] <devhen> yep, your better off stopping the processes from running in the first place
[11:04] <Phuzion> i just mashed out 3 numbers from the number row
[11:04] <Jesse> i don't get it lol
[11:04] <devhen> turn off gnome/kde completely (whicever you dont use)
[11:04] <Phuzion> devhen brings up a good point
[11:04] <Anony> sn00p, You have to set the source. You will have to do some reading to do that. Get going.
[11:04] <sn00p> Anony, where do I find the reding?
[11:04] <sn00p> reading
[11:04] <Anony> sn00p, You will need to know the chipset, drivers you are using and some other stuff that will become obvious when you read the guide
[11:04] <Anony> Try man kismet
[11:05] <Anony> let me see.
[11:05] <stephan__> well i wanna to run certain things the stop them when possible....but not KILL the process just close as normal
[11:05] <sn00p> anony, well, I know what drivers i'm using but i'm not sure about the chipset
[11:06] <Kilopopo> how do i become root in ubuntu
[11:06] <Kilopopo> i just finished installing it
[11:06] <a_l_e> hello, is there any way to manually run the "launch application" applet (or attach a keybinding to it)?
[11:06] <Shanghaiteej> what are you trying to do?
[11:06] <Kilopopo> what is the password for root
[11:06] <Shanghaiteej> the password you used to set up ubuntu
[11:06] <Kilopopo> Shanghaiteej, do you know
[11:06] <Kilopopo> pls
[11:06] <a_l_e> Kilopopo: there is no root password (or it is random generated!)
[11:06] <apokryphos> Kilopopo: please read the FAQ
[11:06] <kholerabbi> Is there a way to track bandwidth usage??? So I know that I have downloaded 100mb over the last week? (or whatever)
[11:07] <J-_> How can I get permission to write to  my external Hard drive from linux?
[11:07] <Jesse> Kilopopo, sudo infront of the command will act as it is in root
[11:07] <apokryphos> J-_: what filetype is it?
[11:07] <Anony> sn00p, just a minute I am looking up where the README for kismet it
[11:07] <Anony> *is
[11:07] <J-_> nfts
[11:07] <a_l_e> Kilopopo: you're supposed to work with sudo and not become root.
[11:07] <apokryphos> J-_: not possible from Linux, then.
[11:07] <Anony> /usr/share/doc/kismet/README.Debian
[11:08] <Anony> /usr/share/doc/kismet/README.gz
[11:08] <Anony> Those two should get you pointed in the right direction
[11:08] <Anony> also do "man kismet"
[11:08] <J-_> damn, i hear a long time ago there was a drive i could install, never got any details but they have been pulling my leg. and when i slapped my hdd together there was only one option in regards to that filesystem
[11:08] <blijblijblij> Kilopopo: sudo su
[11:09] <apokryphos> blijblijblij: no, please do not recommend that.
[11:09] <Kilopopo> blijblijblij, what is the default password for root
[11:09] <a_l_e> solved: it was <Alt>F2
[11:09] <apokryphos> Kilopopo: read the FAQ!
[11:09] <Anony> The Ubuntu anti-root phobia is astounding and irritating.
[11:09] <dsas> Kilopopo: There is no password for root. Use sudo -i instead
[11:09] <Anony> oops, hit enter.
[11:09] <apokryphos> Anony: why do you think that?
[11:09] <dsas> !rootsudo > Kilopopo
[11:09] <blijblijblij> can be usefull in some cases, but as you say first go for sudo "command"
[11:09] <Kilopopo> sudo i ask me for password
[11:09] <Anony> apokryphos, Being root saves typing.
[11:10] <dsas> Kilopopo: Enter in your users password
[11:10] <apokryphos> Anony: if you want to get into a root shell you can just use -i
[11:10] <Anony> apokryphos, Security is of no concern to me, and if it were I would stay out of root myself
[11:10] <Anony> I dont need ubuntu to constantly remind me that root is risky
[11:10] <a_l_e> Anony: i guess apokryphos is right: Kilopopo should first read why there is no root, and than find out how to become root despite all barriers :-)
[11:10] <apokryphos> Anony: that's not the point of it; sudo is the superior model.
[11:10] <sn00p> anony how do I find the chipset?
[11:11] <Anony> apokryphos, how is sudo superior to using the root account besides security?
[11:11] <dsas> Anony: What you wish to do with your own machine is your business. For the purposes of support the default configuration and proper way of doing things gets recommended
[11:11] <Anony> dsas, I agree, but I wish ubuntu users would relax about it.
[11:11] <Kilopopo> ok thanks
[11:12] <hawkaloogie> if you really want a root shell, why not?: sudo su
[11:12] <apokryphos> Anony: for a single one-user computer there aren't many advantages apart from it vaguely suggesting some good practices, but a better example is say a tradtional mainframe organisation. Sudo allows you to determine who runs what, as who.
[11:12] <apokryphos> hawkaloogie: no, please do not recommend that. sudo -i is the recommended method.
[11:12] <dsas> hawkaloogie: sudo -i works just as well.
[11:12] <stephan__> what i exactly wanna do is make a script to kill all the kde / gnome process eating up junk
[11:12] <hawkaloogie> or that
[11:12] <apokryphos> and it sets up the environment more appropriately
[11:12] <stephan__> i wanna make a script to close certain programs....whats the best way to close the programs
[11:13] <apokryphos> stephan__: click on the X in the top-right corner
[11:13] <sn00p> lol
[11:13] <HXG> hi
[11:13] <HXG> I'm using ubuntu and I can't start xChat
[11:13] <stephan__> apokryphos, i want to make a script to close all the kde process's but not lose the data " kill " it
[11:13] <HXG> it was ok yesterday
[11:13] <dsas> stephan__: kill `pidof program-name`
[11:13] <HXG> but now I can't start it
[11:13] <HXG> but now I can't start it
[11:13] <HXG> xchat
[11:14] <apokryphos> !enter
[11:14] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[11:14] <HXG> what could be the problem?
[11:14] <Anony> sn00p goto /etc/kismet/kismet.conf
[11:14] <KenSentMe> HXG: try running xchat from the terminal and see if you get any errors
[11:15] <HXG> ok
[11:15] <HXG> where that xchat is installed?
[11:15] <sn00p> anony I need to know my chipset I don tknow whwere to find it
[11:15] <HXG> it was installed with the OS
[11:16] <robokop> hey how can i use a dail in internet connection in ubuntu
[11:16] <Anony> sn00p, you can figure it out by checking lspci if I am not mistaken
[11:16] <Kilopopo> do you guys know where ubuntu keeps its grub.conf
[11:17] <Anony> robokop, Have you tried network-admin ?
[11:17] <robokop> yes but it wouldn't let me configure one without a password
[11:17] <Healot> Kilopopo: it's /boot/grub/menu.lst nowadays
[11:17] <Anony> robokop, did you try your normal password?
[11:18] <Kilopopo> Healot i tried but it looks like a different grub
[11:18] <robokop> Anony: i can open the network-admin
[11:18] <HXG> hey
[11:18] <HXG> look
[11:19] <robokop> but i have probs with configuring the connection while it doesn't need a password

[11:25] <Pupeno> Does anybody know why the prompt is just black when I run an Xterm (or a Konsole, white in this case) instead of colorful as defined in .bashrc ?
[11:25] <eth42> how do I start the text-mode installer in Dapper?
[11:25] <kholerabbi> I just installed dapper - but it doesn't have the highest supported resolution of my monitor (1280x1024), and goes only to 1024x768 - how do I configure it to show 1280x2024?
[11:25] <paabmu> de adonde eres
[11:26] <Schalken> eth42: maybe you can try typing ubuntuity in the terminal
[11:26] <eth42> kholerabbi: first, try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

[11:28] <kholerabbi> eth42: what xserver driver do I select??
[11:28] <HiP_P> !apt-get
[11:28] <ubotu> apt is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptGetHowto - also see !synaptic (gnome) or !adept (kde)
[11:28] <cntb> ah
[11:29] <eth42> kholerabbi: can you accept adefault choice??
[11:29] <cntb> sorry Iam an installer for many years on windows side
[11:29] <cntb> let us wait together for a good answer
[11:29] <HXG> how can I turn off SCIM?
[11:29] <HXG> I kill it's process
[11:29] <HXG> but it's still running
[11:29] <kholerabbi> eth42: savage?
[11:30] <cntb> anything that has to od with using and installing is of interest 4 me
[11:30] <HXG> and I see it's new process after I type "ps-x"
[11:30] <HiP_P> hmmm oh do i apt-get remove one package with uninstall the others with it?
[11:30] <HiP_P> *oh=hows
[11:30] <kholerabbi> woops
[11:31] <kholerabbi> eth42: Should I select savage, I think it's default
[11:31] <eth42> kholerabbi: mhh... I don't know without knowing your system. I'd just press ENTER (= accept default), wherever I don't know. I'd make a backup of /etc/X11/xorg.conf first, so you can always return to your current state.
[11:31] <HackerX> Why when i use the "make" command it says  No rule to make target
[11:32] <TTilus> HXG: what is SCIM?  Do you know what starts it?
[11:32] <eth42> kholerabbi: then you can try out whatever you like, without doing any harm to your system
[11:32] <kholerabbi> eth42: Is there another way of doing this - it has to configure ton of things, and I have no idea - can't I just add the resolution? I had it with breezy
[11:32] <TTilus> HackerX: because it can not find rules file
[11:32] <TTilus> HackerX: so "no rule to make target"
[11:33] <Kilopopo> how do i install nvidia drivers?
[11:33] <Kilopopo> pls
[11:33] <HackerX> ttilus, ok what can i do
[11:33] <HiP_P> ill type that again because i balls it up. how do i apt-get remove one package with uninstalling the others with it?
[11:33] <eth42> kholerabbi: if you still have access to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf on your breezy system, just take this one.....
[11:33] <HackerX> ttilus, the help file just says type that in the dir
[11:33] <kholerabbi> eth42: I reformatted over breezy
[11:33] <TTilus> HackerX: what are you exactly trying to accomplish?  you have source and want to install or?
[11:33] <eth42> kholerabbi: sure, you can add your resolution somehow. but I don't know how right now... :-)
[11:33] <Healot> !ati
[11:33] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:34] <TTilus> HackerX: why you do not install from debs?
[11:34] <HackerX> yea i have two differnt things that do it for me but the one i want to install right now is Ethereal
[11:34] <TTilus> HackerX: what are you trying install?
[11:34] <HackerX> theres no deb that i could find
[11:34] <eth42> kholerabbi: I guess it depends on the configuration of your monitor and the Display sections in the Screen section
[11:34] <TTilus> HackerX: i bet there is,  have you looked universe and multiverse?
[11:34] <eth42> kholerabbi: (in xorg.conf that is)
[11:35] <HackerX> ttilus, i know theres alot of things on there is there a way to look at a list? i only know how to run a apt-get from the terminal
[11:35] <TTilus> HackerX: it is in universe http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060704/hl_afp/greecehealthdisease
[11:36] <kholerabbi> eth42: in breezy it asked me what resolutions I'd like, but dapper didn't :(
[11:36] <TTilus> HackerX: sorry, better off now with this http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=ethereal&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all
[11:36] <HXG> SCIM is an application
[11:37] <HXG> where you can choose input language
[11:37] <TTilus> HackerX: you can browse packages for example in console with aptitude or online http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[11:37] <eth42> kholerabbi: still I'd first try dpkg-reconfigure and just press ENTER, whenever I don't care or don't know....
[11:37] <HackerX> ttilus, ok sweet thanks
[11:37] <TTilus> HXG: why would you want to shut it down?

[11:38] <HXG> TTilus: because I can't start xChat

[11:38] <TTilus> HXG: have you checked (with pstree or like) what starts it
[11:38] <HXG> no

[11:41] <Anony> TTilus, Where you set the speed, usually in line/time measure , and the text moves automatically
[11:42] <TTilus> Anony: what would you do with one?

[11:46] <TTilus> HXG: have you checked scim (or xchat) bugs to see if that is a known issue?
[11:46] <avis> i was wondering if i could get some feedback on a video card to replace the one in this machine.  it seems it wont allow my monitor to run at 1280 x 1024 @ 76Hz which is what the manual says it should be refeshing at that resolution.  the current video card is a FX5200 nvidia card agp 8x.  i would like to replace it with a slightly higher end video card that might give me the clarity and refresh i need.  i've tried dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:46] <avis> and i've adjusted the HorizSync and the VertRefresh for my monitor in xorg.conf.  can anyone point me to a better nvidia card that might have the guts for focus/clarity and not cost an arm ?
[11:49] <yango> lots of cards can do 1280x1024...  and why does it have to be nvidia?
[11:49] <TTilus> Anony: would this do the job for you?  $ cat yourbook.txt | awk '{ system("sleep 1s"); print }'
[11:50] <Anony> TTilus, cool thanks!

[12:01] <serge_> I'm using Xfce 4.2 and I'm wondering how to upgrade my Ubuntu to 6.06. I've noticed there's no graphical tool, and the "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" commands do nothing that resembles upgrading my distro. any ideas?
[12:03] <JavaChip> hey all
[12:03] <narfmaster> serge_, you may need to do a clean install on xubuntu
[12:03] <KenSentMe> JavaChip: hi
[12:03] <_Hug[o] _> How can I revert a package to its previous version?
[12:03] <serge_> narfmaster, and how do I do that please?
[12:03] <WhiteNInja> hello... just tried ubuntu(dapper)... set up a samba-network... it worked.. but now using the network-browser it comes always the message... network-dir cant be displayed... what is wrong?
[12:03] <JavaChip> just wanted to thank the channel, I got my wifi working finally
[12:03] <narfmaster> serge_, first you back up your data...
[12:04] <depi> Hi all, does Listen audioplayer (http://listengnome.free.fr/) supports OGG file format? (or I which libraries I should download?)
[12:04] <serge_> is none, installed about 30mins ago.
[12:04] <narfmaster> serge_, then you boot the xubuntu desktop disc and install away :)
[12:04] <serge_> no disk, I used the install ubuntu base system and then "apt-get install xubuntu-desktop"
[12:07] <passbe> when a usb device is loaded with ubuntu, where does it look for the drivers ? path ?
[12:08] <narfmaster> a device needs to have an installed kernel module (the limit of my knowledge there)
[12:08] <Healot> it's in the kernel module
[12:08] <Healot> lsmod > you'll find ehci or ohci module thre
[12:08] <passbe> ah k
[12:09] <narfmaster> insmod something if you know where you just installed it
[12:09] <narfmaster> rmmod, etc. :)
[12:10] <passbe> im trying to install the xir driver, not sure if any of u know of it ?
[12:12] <kholerabbi> Hello - Dapper dose not give me the option to change the resolution higher than 1024x760 - I want to be able to change to 1280x1024 - I have tried editing xorg.conf but with no results - could someone help me please?
[12:12] <narfmaster> xir is a web cam?
[12:13] <narfmaster> kholerabbi, do you know the monitor scanning frequencies?
[12:14] <DBO> narfmaster, you can (hopefully) get those by running sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange
[12:14] <Healot>         SubSection "Display"
[12:14] <Healot>                 Depth           1
[12:14] <Healot>                 Modes           "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[12:14] <Healot>         EndSubSection
[12:14] <whiter> i did a server install and i tried to install xserver-xorg along with fluxbox... but when i type startx it doesnt seem to work
[12:14] <river> my son pressed ALT F4 in ubuntu and we now have what looks like a full screen ternimal session
[12:15] <kholerabbi> narfmaster: No-o I'm not even sure what that is
[12:15] <river> how do I exit this ?
[12:15] <DBO> kholerabbi, what is the output of sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange
[12:15] <whiter> it spits back some stuff about wacom and no fonts
[12:15] <whiter> river... CTRL+ALT+Backspace
[12:15] <narfmaster> kholerabbi, you should look in your manual or try and Google it :)
[12:15] <kholerabbi> healot: I edited xorg.conf just like that, but doesn't work
[12:15] <snoops> Healot obviously he won't use that one though, because a depth of 1.. is a bit ridiculous to say the least.. he'll want 24
[12:15] <kholerabbi> I will
[12:15] <whiter> anyone know how to get x going
[12:15] <river> whiter: thanx .. tried that .. does nothing
[12:16] <whiter> it says "could not open default font 'fixed'"
[12:16] <Healot> change that to 24
[12:16] <whiter> river, "startx" then
[12:16] <kholerabbi> DBO: absolutely nothing
[12:16] <MrDuck> river, try alt+F6
[12:16] <narfmaster> river, you want to do ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to the desktop
[12:16] <MrDuck> ok f7
[12:16] <river> whiter: startex gets errors
[12:16] <MrDuck> :P
[12:16] <DBO> kholerabbi, then you will need to google search for your monitors sync ranges
[12:16] <river> whiter: soz ... startx gets errors
[12:16] <whiter> how are you on irc right now
[12:17] <whiter> xchat?
[12:17] <snoops> what's the monitor kholerabbi?
[12:17] <river> whiter: valid question ... another machine
[12:17] <whiter> k
[12:17] <whiter> what does exit do
[12:17] <kholerabbi> snoops: CMV 21ms 19inch breezy supported 1280x1024 and so dose windows
[12:18] <snoops> 21ms?
[12:18] <snoops> it's an lcd?
[12:18] <river> whiter: logs out and leaves me at a "login" prompt
[12:18] <whiter> i have a problem, i installed ubuntu via the "server" option with intent on installing x and fluxbox to keep it small and stuff... well i did all that but when i type "startx" x wont start
[12:18] <kholerabbi> Yes, lcd
[12:18] <whiter> river: login then
[12:18] <eamo> hi, trying to install foo2zjs for hp2010 printer.  make - command not found in home directory
[12:19] <river> whiter: k .. logged in
[12:19] <narfmaster> eamo, you need to install build-essential
[12:19] <kholerabbi> Quite a nice monitor actualyl :)
[12:19] <Chetic> What do I need to change in /etc/fstab to make regular users able to read from my NTFS partition?
[12:19] <whiter> now try startx
[12:19] <snoops> kholerabbi cm-934d by chance for the model number?
[12:20] <watson540> http://rafb.net/paste/results/O0GbBI34.nln.html
[12:20] <eamo> narfmaster: Ok, presume it is on synaptic!
[12:20] <narfmaster> eamo, yes
[12:20] <kholerabbi> snoops: cm-922D
[12:21] <river> whiter: kids have clarified the prob ... they were in GIMP and held CTRL ALT F4 .. any idea how to return to nornal ?
[12:21] <whiter> hold on
[12:21] <whiter> let me see
[12:21] <whiter> well
[12:22] <whiter> x should just start back up with "startx"
[12:22] <whiter> from what i see that just brings up a terminal
[12:22] <whiter> but restarting will probably do it
[12:22] <stelki> just kill all previous instances of X
[12:22] <narfmaster> river, you want to do ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to the desktop
[12:22] <snoops> okay kholerabbi a horizontal scan rate of 22~82 KHz and a vertical scan rate of 50~76  Hz
[12:23] <whiter> anyone know what i should do, i have xserver-xorg installed but when i type "startx" it errors out saying "could not open default font 'fixed"
[12:23] <narfmaster> kholerabbi, you want to look for "HorizSync" and "VertRefresh" now
[12:23] <Chetic> What property do I need to add/change in /etc/fstab to make regular users able to read from my NTFS partition?
[12:23] <narfmaster> in the xorg.conf
[12:23] <WhiteNInja> anyone has a clue why i am able to ping from a winbox my ubuntu-host but otherwise i cant see the win-box?
[12:24] <stelki> Chetic: umask=0222
[12:24] <river> narfmaster: legendary stuff .. many thanks for you help
[12:24] <narfmaster> river, you're welcome
[12:24] <johlin> I have a problem with gdm (I think). Everytime I log out or restart gdm with ctrl-alt-backspace, the screen just turns black and the only thing I can do is turn off the cmputer manually. Why?
[12:24] <snoops> firewall on the windows box WhiteNInja?
[12:24] <river> whiter: thanks for  your help too
[12:24] <whiter> uhuh
[12:24] <WhiteNInja> y.. but the whole range of the private-netrange is allowed
[12:25] <whiter> does anyone know why x isnt starting
[12:25] <Chetic> Thank you so much stelki! Finally :D
[12:25] <snoops> WhiteNInja for giggles, try shutting down the windows firewall :)
[12:25] <stelki> Chetic: no prob, I had alot of trouble with that too
[12:25] <Schalken> how can i not only reinstall a package, but re-download it?
[12:25] <kholerabbi> snoops narfmaster: thanks - I'll restart and see if it worked
[12:25] <Schalken> i have a feeling it was downloaded brocken
[12:25] <snoops> if not come right on back kholerabbi :)
[12:26] <kholerabbi> yep wildo thanks
[12:26] <narfmaster> Schalken, packages are md5 verified
[12:26] <whiter> :( no one can help me
[12:26] <lipnotiz> is there a way to install ndiswrapper to a ubuntu which doesn't have any internet access ?
[12:27] <narfmaster> but if you're feeling up to it, you can rm /var/cache/apt/archive*
[12:27] <snoops> did it ever start whiter?
[12:27] <whiter> no
[12:27] <WhiteNInja> hm.. ok.. firewall is down @snoops... ping possible now.. but i cant access the shared folder anyways :-(
[12:27] <whiter> keeps telling me about fonts and stuff
[12:27] <snoops> WhiteNInja how are you trying to browse the shared folder?
[12:28] <WhiteNInja> if i am using netbrowser.. the messages comes... dir cant be showed
[12:28] <whiter> it errors out at Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'
[12:28] <snoops> whiter did you do a fresh(clean) ubuntu dapper install or something else (if so what)?
[12:28] <whiter> fresh clean ubuntu install
[12:28] <whiter> with the server option at boot
[12:28] <narfmaster> whiter, you may need to install gdm
[12:28] <whiter> ok
[12:29] <snoops> oh umm whiter which version did you install?
[12:29] <narfmaster> i'm not sure Ubuntu will work without it
[12:29] <snoops> the server release which doesn't include x?
[12:29] <whiter> yes
[12:29] <whiter> ok installing gdm
[12:30] <kholerabbi> Yay!
[12:30] <whiter> well see the idea was i could make a minimal install without all the crap that slows down my computer
[12:30] <whiter> but it isnt working out quite right yet
[12:30] <whiter> lol
[12:30] <eamo> narfmaster: thanks - installed
[12:30] <snoops> WhiteNInja okay.. umm try places>connect to server and setup the shared dir name etc along with passwords
[12:31] <narfmaster> eamo, let us know if you get other errors :)
[12:31] <kholerabbi> Thanks everyone!! It works--annnnndd I have a faster refresh rate than I had on breezy (the flickering was starting to annoy me) :)
[12:31] <snoops> kholerabbi cool bananas for future reference the site where I got that info was http://www.cws.net.au/cmv/cm926.htm
[12:31] <kholerabbi> snoops: thanks I'll bookmark it :)?
[12:32] <kholerabbi> ignore question mark
[12:32] <whiter> ok tried it with gdm installed and that didnt work
[12:32] <narfmaster> whiter, so what happens?
[12:32] <whiter> same thing
[12:33] <whiter> startx, screen flickers i see some stuff then it closes and tells me about the font stuff
[12:33] <whiter> i would search for the problem myself but lynx isnt exactly great... and thats all i got
[12:33] <snoops> whiter you may have to 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop.. or apt-get install xubuntu-desktop or apt-get install kubuntu-desktop..
[12:34] <Ng> whiter: if you want a lightweight desktop you could try xfce, in which case install xubuntu-desktop
[12:34] <whiter> i dont like xfce
[12:34] <Ng> whiter: what kind of desktop do you want to end up with then?
[12:34] <whiter> fluxbox.
[12:34] <WhiteNInja> hm... strange... i did it before (but changed the win-ip meanwhile).. now it works this way.. but only if i am specifying the name of the shared folder @snoops
[12:35] <Ng> whiter: in terms of font packages, a regular ubuntu install has xfonts-100dpi, xfonts-75dpi, xfonts-base, xfonts-scalable and xfonts-utils
[12:35] <WhiteNInja> how i am able to delete this entries now, if i want to do it?
[12:35] <Ng> whiter: I think -base will contain the fixed one you need, but the rest would be useful to have anyway
[12:35] <whiter> ok
[12:35] <snoops> WhiteNInja the connect to server entry? you can remove it from your desktop
[12:35] <snoops> right click..remove
[12:35] <whiter> will try in a sec
[12:36] <WhiteNInja> ok... i see , the wrong one was "connected".. i had to disconnect it first
[12:36] <snoops> ah
[12:36] <WhiteNInja> thx for helping...
[12:37] <snoops> wasn't really helping - windows firewalls seem to always lie about what ports they'll keep open
[12:38] <Hudson_H> hi,i've installed my nvdia drivers,i changed my conf.org,but i still have no vieuw on my second screen
[12:38] <WhiteNInja> it doesnt matter anymore.. just backed-up the win-box and wanted to save that backup-file on the linux-box.. now i am going to shut down win and try linux/bsd on the box.. clean install :-)
[12:38] <snoops> ah cool
[12:39] <whiter> hey, it worked!
[12:39] <whiter> yay
[12:39] <whiter> brb on X
[12:39] <whiter> quit
[12:40] <style> <- message while compiling http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/2057/ <- messege when i try to start the compiled application.
[12:40] <WhiteNInja> does anybody know whether it is better to use aac-files on an ipod or mp3? both encoded on a linux-box?
[12:40] <style> http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/2056/  first link
[12:41] <narfmaster> WhiteNInja, aac is higher quality
[12:42] <Ropechoborra> Have this situation: My mom "copie these files to a disck", I mount the diskette i got, Error mounting... (try an other disck) Mount succesful, try to copy, ERROR copying... and she was in a hurry so i made it on windows :( ( troubleless)
[12:42] <WhiteNInja> ok... then i will install the aac-tools, too... i guess gtkpod can manage all files then, too
[12:42] <Chetic> uhh.. how do I mount my digital camera?
[12:43] <KenSentMe> !nfs
[12:43] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NFSClientHowTo and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NFSServerHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[12:43] <narfmaster> style, that went way over my head :p
[12:45] <nismo`hasan> after editing the /etc/apt/sources.list and doing an "apt-get update" is it necessary to do a "aptitude update" if i use aptitude instead of apt-get?
[12:46] <narfmaster> nismo`hasan, it couldn't hurt
[12:46] <Ropechoborra> nismo`hasan is aptitude the same as apt-get?
[12:47] <narfmaster> aptitude does have its own database iirc
[12:47] <Ropechoborra> what is it for?
[12:47] <narfmaster> aptitude is like synaptic for the console
[12:47] <Ropechoborra> MM
[12:47] <Ropechoborra> Ill try it
[12:48] <narfmaster> it's not bad :)
[12:48] <Ropechoborra> how do i know if my videocard is installed? (and not a generic one)
[12:49] <l0xat> hi all i am sort of new 2 ubuntu
[12:50] <narfmaster> l0xat, welcome :)
[12:50] <whiter> okay now that fluxbox is installed and working nicely
[12:50] <Ropechoborra> l0xat hi :)
[12:50] <whiter> how can i get it to use gtk2 instead of gtk1 that i think its currently using?
[12:51] <compengi> i installed the eggdrop on my os but don't know how to run it
[12:51] <CokeNCode> yeh good point, what IS the difference between apt-get install and aptitude install ?
[12:51] <l0xat> thank all
[12:51] <l0xat> :)
[12:51] <compengi> i typed in the terminal eggdrop it said: Eggdrop v1.6.17 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2004 Eggheads
 [13:49]  --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.17 (Thu Jul  6 2006)
 [13:49]  * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)
[12:51] <Ignite_> CokeNCode, i have no idea, i just like aptitude for its "show" ability :)
[12:51] <CokeNCode> Ignite_, ok, hmmmm
[12:52] <CokeNCode> eggdrop, i remember that term from my Mirc windows "hacking" days ...
[12:52] <CokeNCode> !tell CokeNCode about eggdrop
[12:52] <ubotu> I know nothing about eggdrop
[12:52] <l0xat> i want  to install aMule and got the .deb file but dont know how to proceed
[12:52] <Frogzoo> !deb
[12:52] <CokeNCode> ubotu, we're in the same boat then :S
[12:52] <ubotu> deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click on them (Ubuntu) or right-click and select Kubuntu Package Menu->install (Kubuntu)
[12:52] <ubotu> I know nothing about we're in the same boat then :S
[12:53] <narfmaster> in a terminal, that would be "sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb"
[12:53] <whiter> narfmaster would you happen to know how to make ubuntu use gtk2 instead of gtk1
[12:53] <narfmaster> whiter, i have no idea :/
[12:53] <nismo`hasan> anyone running initNG on dapper?
[12:53] <narfmaster> i just use Gnome
[12:54] <whiter> :( im sorry
[12:54] <whiter> heh
[12:54] <narfmaster> whiter, no problem :)
[12:54] <CokeNCode> anyhow guys, time for work, i'll be back in a bit
[12:55] <narfmaster> the latest XFCE is nice with GTK though
[12:55] <narfmaster> probably not quite as lightweight as fluxbox
[12:56] <narfmaster> but definitely a lot lighter than Gnome
[12:56] <Ropechoborra> Got any idea why is so difficult to copy some files into floppy ?? =S (the errors wont let me, and in windows i made it with 2 clicks :S)
[12:56] <gore_> guys I'm having a strange problem
[12:57] <gore_> when I try to add the workspace switcher to one of my gnome panels
[12:57] <narfmaster> Ropechoborra, what errors are you getting?
[12:57] <Ropechoborra> narfmaster waitme
[12:57] <l0xat> when i doubleclick the deb file they are opened by the file roller
[12:57] <gore_> it works just fine but, it will only display the current workspace, and when I try and change the preferences it gives me and error
[12:57] <Frogzoo> !enter > gore_
[12:57] <l0xat> ?
[12:58] <Frogzoo> gore_: how many workspaces u got defined?
[12:58] <narfmaster> l0xat, you should right-click and try "Open with"
[12:58] <gore_> I have 5
[12:58] <Ropechoborra> narfmaster is in spanish... know how can i translate it?
[12:58] <gore_> it works fine on one of my panels, but doesn't work on any other
[12:58] <l0xat> ok
[12:58] <kenas> hi
[12:58] <narfmaster> Ropechoborra, i might get the gist :)
[12:59] <gore_> I mean it works like I said before but only will give me the option to show my current workspace
[12:59] <kenas> i ve got a file *.tgz and i would like to know how to install it
[12:59] <kenas> its cedega
[12:59] <Ropechoborra> mount: tipo de sistema de ficheros incorrecto, opcin incorrecta, superbloque incorrecto en /dev/fd0, falta la pgina de cdigos, en algunos casos se encuentra informacin en syslog, pruebe dmesg | tail   o algo parecido
[12:59] <kenas> and i cant find it in any repository
[12:59] <l0xat> what shall iuse to open with
[12:59] <gore_> tar -zxvf  whatev.tgz
[12:59] <gore_> cd whatev
[12:59] <gore_> ./configure
[12:59] <kenas> gore thankx
[12:59] <narfmaster> Ropechoborra, that looks serious
[01:00] <gore_> make | make install | make clean
[01:00] <Ropechoborra> that was like mount: wrong file system, wrong option, etc
[01:00] <Ropechoborra> narfmaster ok, it could be the disc... but i change it and..
[01:00] <Ropechoborra> i can mount it
[01:00] <Ropechoborra> But
[01:00] <Ropechoborra> when i trie to copy some files
[01:00] <Ropechoborra> error
[01:01] <Frogzoo> gore_: can only suggest you try deleting the panel & trying again
[01:01] <Ropechoborra> Error Parmetros no vlidos al copiar file:///home...%202002.d
[01:01] <gore_> yah I've thought of doing that Frogzoo but I'm worried I wont be able to get it back, and that will be fruitless
[01:01] <narfmaster> Ropechoborra, try changing the file name to something simple
[01:01] <l0xat> narfmaster, what file shall use to open with
[01:02] <narfmaster> l0xat, you want to Open with gDebi
[01:02] <Ropechoborra> narfmaster lol... it worked
[01:02] <Ropechoborra> ty ! :)
[01:02] <Frogzoo> gore_: create a new panel & set it up b4 deleting the old one
[01:02] <Ropechoborra> but... why is that??
[01:02] <narfmaster> Ropechoborra, good :)
[01:02] <gore_> .. yah I've done that
[01:02] <gore_> oh well
[01:02] <gore_> its an obscure problem
[01:02] <narfmaster> Ropechoborra, the file system is limited in that fashion apparently
[01:02] <whyme> hay there - does anyone have experience with nForce4 onboard 5.1 surround? I got stereo working, but I'd like the full setup, if poss
[01:03] <Ropechoborra> I would like the same to my video card (i think its not fully functional)
[01:04] <Frogzoo> gore_: is the switcher space constrained so it couldn't expand if necessary?
[01:04] <gore_> nope
[01:05] <gore_> Failed: Failed: Schema `/schemas/apps/workspace_switcher_applet/prefs/display_all_workspaces' specified for `/apps/panel/applets/applet_8/prefs/display_all_workspaces' stores a non-schema value
[01:05] <gore_> tahts the error message I get when I add the applet to another panel and try to go into the properties
[01:06] <mp3guy> how long should it take E17 to compile from CVS?
[01:07] <Frogzoo> mp3guy: on a 386 ?
[01:07] <Ropechoborra> some ScanDisk for diskettes?
[01:07] <mp3guy> 686
[01:07] <Frogzoo> mp3guy: 10 mins +- 5
[01:07] <kenas> gore i have done the first step
[01:07] <kenas> and now i have 3 directories
[01:08] <kenas> but ./configure
[01:08] <kenas> doesnt work
[01:08] <mp3guy> Frogzoo: You sure? Its been going that long and is only on 8/55
[01:08] <kenas> ??
[01:08] <gore_> what are the three directories
[01:08] <Frogzoo> mp3guy: you swapping badly?
[01:08] <J_1> hi all
[01:09] <Frogzoo> mp3guy: vmstat 5
[01:09] <mp3guy> Frogzoo: No, 768MB ram, and only 61% used
[01:09] <narfmaster> kenas, you might look at this: http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+Cedega+CVS
[01:10] <Frogzoo> mp3guy: 500MHz cpu ?
[01:10] <mp3guy> Frogzoo: 2.41GHz
[01:10] <gore_> thanks narf I was lookign for somethign like that
[01:11] <Frogzoo> mp3guy: does vmstat 5 show procs in the 'b' column?
[01:11] <sammen> can i install ubuntu on an external USB HD?
[01:11] <l0xat> narfmaster, i cant locate gDebi
[01:11] <Ropechoborra> some ScanDisk for diskettes?
[01:11] <mp3guy> Frogzoo: Everything is 0 in the b column
[01:12] <narfmaster> l0xat, use the terminal "sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb"
[01:12] <Flannel> sammen: yes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[01:12] <Frogzoo> mp3guy: crikey, what a monster, that's huge
[01:12] <whyme> !surround
[01:12] <ubotu> I know nothing about surround
[01:13] <whyme> !audio
[01:13] <ubotu> I know nothing about audio
[01:13] <mp3guy> Frogzoo: Whats huge?
[01:13] <whyme> !sound
[01:13] <Frogzoo> mp3guy: your compile
[01:13] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[01:13] <Frogzoo> mp3guy: even wine only takes about an hour
[01:14] <arun> hi.. can anyone help me: is there a simple(preferablly GUI program) of using an infrared device to transfer data to/from my Nokia
[01:14] <gore_> wow wine is pretty impressive
[01:14] <Frogzoo> gore_: yes indeed
[01:15] <mp3guy> Frogzoo: The cvs folder is 197mb
[01:15] <gore_> I just ran warcraft and quake3 from wine, they both ran not well but they ran, couldn't log into wow though
[01:15] <kenas> gore the three directories are /etc /opt /usr
[01:16] <gore_> sorry kenas  thats a weird setup
[01:16] <gore_> you're best bet would be to look for an INSTALL file that tells you how to install it
[01:16] <gore_> or go to the cedega website and look for a install howto
[01:16] <kenas> ok i will
[01:16] <Frogzoo> mp3guy: just to compare - wine = 400meg
[01:16] <kenas> but wht do u mean by weird ?
[01:17] <gore_> well nothing is weird about it rather, I'm just unfamiliar with that setup
[01:17] <Frogzoo> gore_: check the wow wiki - you need to tweak a couple of things
[01:17] <sammen> does anyone know right away if the "alternate" iso works like a live cd too?
[01:17] <pppoe_dude> sammen: it doesnt
[01:17] <gore_> oh yeah?, I wasn't really sweating it because I dont really play it
[01:18] <gore_> but its cool to know I can get it to work
[01:18] <sammen> pppoe_dude hmm ok thanks
[01:21] <sammen> wasting a lot of CDs on live cds and boot cds lately :)
[01:22] <passbe> ok, if anyone can give me some serious help on how to get an xbox dvd dongle /  remote working with lirc, it would be much apreciated
[01:22] <purple> hi everyone
[01:22] <purple> one question
[01:22] <purple> how can i erase desktop icons?
[01:23] <Healot> !ask
[01:23] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:23] <purple> home folder icon and trash icon as well?
[01:23] <watson540> !info fxruby
[01:23] <ubotu> Package fxruby does not exist in dapper
[01:23] <watson540> !info libfox-ruby
[01:23] <ubotu> Package libfox-ruby does not exist in dapper
[01:24] <Healot> !find libfox
[01:24] <ubotu> Found: libfox1.2-dev, libfox1.2-doc, libfox1.2c2, libfox1.4, libfox1.4-dev (and 1 others)
[01:24] <ompaul> purple, right click move to trash -- right click on trash and delete contents or right click delete
[01:25] <purple> i dont get "delete" in icon context menu
[01:25] <watson540> yeah this stupid FXRuby is giving me a helluva headache man
[01:25] <watson540> not in repos I installed libfox* and still cant install it
[01:25] <narfmaster> purple, open Configuration Editor and go to "/apps/nautilus/desktop/home_icon_visible"
[01:25] <Healot> Hold Shift key to directly delete the icon while select Move To Trash menu
[01:25] <narfmaster> err "/apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible"
[01:27] <watson540> anyoione here know how to install FXRuby?
[01:27] <purple> thnxx narfmaster
[01:27] <purple> does this command delete icons or just hide'em?
[01:28] <narfmaster> purple, it just hides the icons
[01:32] <gore_> is there a file that contains all the options for gconf-editor
[01:32] <gore_> ?
[01:33] <gore_> !gconf-editor
[01:33] <ubotu> I know nothing about gconf-editor
[01:34] <rixth> gore_, I believe gconf-editor is just an interface to many different files. Don't call me on that, though.
[01:34] <narfmaster> gore_, i think gconf just navigates to ~/.gconf
[01:34] <gore_> yah its definitely a database
[01:34] <gore_> thanks narf I'll start diggin through that
[01:35] <watson540> bah i despise ruby and it can burn in hell and anyone who uses it too
[01:36] <watson540> itds junk and broken
[01:37] <narfmaster> watson540, it looks like you will have to build from source
[01:37] <watson540> ive done everything i can
[01:37] <watson540> i tried installing fxruby from source, throuigh ruby gems, everything
[01:37] <watson540> its all broken
[01:38] <watson540> all for one lousy prgram that prbably isnt worth muy time anyway
[01:38] <narfmaster> heh, do perl scripting :)
[01:38] <watson540> i wish, i could then make a scrip[t for irssi and be done with it
[01:39] <watson540> all i wanted was something to download my tv episodes via xdcc one by one , thats all..
[01:39] <watson540> just wanted it to send a ctcp xdcc get command then when that file finished, for the program to send for the next file..
[01:39] <narfmaster> irc bot?
[01:39] <watson540> instead of sitting there and downloading 20 rars at a time ya know..
[01:39] <Healot> RAR
[01:39] <narfmaster> i think xchat can do perl scripts
[01:40] <watson540> yeah i can only q one file at a time on the bot but you nee dlike 20 files to make 1 tv episode
[01:40] <watson540> i found a similar script for xchat although it seemed to sit there and do nothinging
[01:40] <watson540> I found this cool looking program called xdcc fethcher or something but it requires all this ruby junk and it dont work
[01:40] <nismo`hasan> didnt work :@
[01:41] <nismo`hasan> lol
[01:41] <watson540> its tyhe closest thing ive foiund to what i need, of cours if i could figure out this /wait command in irssi i would probably be ok also :)
[01:41] <matteo> Anyone here use beagle with the firefox extension?
[01:41] <pianoboy3333> What program can burn flac audio files?
[01:41] <Healot> as files or as Audio CD?
[01:41] <pianoboy3333> Healot: audio
[01:43] <IRCMonkeyx> hi people i installed my first linux, but i am so suprised, everything is different.......
[01:43] <IRCMonkeyx> no exe??
[01:43] <orbin> pianoboy3333: rhythmbox can't?
[01:43] <pianoboy3333> hmmm... lemme check
[01:44] <IRCMonkeyx> and how will install my drivers?? from where
[01:44] <orbin> IRCMonkeyx: so you worked out the partitioning stuff? :)
[01:44] <narfmaster> IRCMonkeyx, use "Add/Remove..."
[01:44] <kkman> hi
[01:44] <IRCMonkeyx> yes orbin:) it was swap problem:)
[01:44] <orbin> IRCMonkeyx: you really only need to worry about drivers when stuff doesn't work.
[01:45] <kkman> I have a nasty networking problem
[01:45] <IRCMonkeyx> orbin what about usb modem? is it problem
[01:45] <IRCMonkeyx> narf master , there is no add remove
[01:45] <orbin> IRCMonkeyx: well does it work?
[01:45] <kkman> I have a pcmcia wifi card from Microsoft (MN-720) and i Use ndiswrapper and windows driver (not microsoft's but someone else's)
[01:46] <kkman> My problem is that every now and then the laptop (ubuntu of course) looses connectivity
[01:46] <kkman> i can't ping from it anywhere
[01:46] <IRCMonkeyx> orbin ,yes it works, but now i am on xp, cause  i dont know how to connect to internet from ubuntu
[01:46] <kkman> could anyone assist me ?
[01:46] <kkman> please :)
[01:46] <orbin> IRCMonkeyx: is this dialup or broadband?
[01:47] <narfmaster> kkman, did you try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart"?
[01:47] <IRCMonkeyx> orbin, it is adsl, usb pikatel modem
[01:47] <kkman> narfmaster: ahh yes. then the network works again! but the problem is that it is a server that i connect from work ... icant restart networking from remote :)
[01:48] <narfmaster> wifi on a work server? :p
[01:48] <kkman> narfmaster: not a "server" server ... just a small svn of my stuff :)
[01:49] <narfmaster> okay, just thought it was rather strange
[01:49] <whiter> anyone know what the app is called that handles the themes?
[01:49] <IRCMonkeyx> and what do we use instead of exe? how do we run programs? not by double clicking? and sudo thing etc by commands .. i think i will be hanged in ubuntu sea:D
[01:49] <purple> ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/
[01:49] <kkman> narfmaster: any suggestions?
[01:50] <kkman> narfmaster: any logs i can look at? options to set?
[01:50] <kkman> narfmaster: how do i 'debug' this?
[01:50] <narfmaster> kkman, that's a doozy of a problem
[01:51] <LordElph> anyone know what "run-init: /sbin/init: error 80" means during boot? right after that I get "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!" and that's it. This is a fresh 6.06 Server install.
[01:51] <gore_> whats the best way to search for a file, that doesn't ignore .whatever folders?
[01:51] <thenuke> IRCMonkeyx: you run the programs like doubleclicking the icon of it, choosing and clicking it from the menus, typing the name of it in console.. etc..
[01:51] <kkman> narfmaster: nevertheless... any suspects? the wifi driver maybe?
[01:51] <narfmaster> kkman, absolutely
[01:52] <orbin> IRCMonkeyx: i say just plug it in, reboot and then maybe look here for adsl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[01:52] <narfmaster> kkman, another suspect is the hardware of course
[01:52] <boga> has anyone been able to get cnn video playing in Ubuntu?
[01:52] <kkman> narfmaster: is there any generic driver i can use?
[01:52] <narfmaster> kkman, plus you might have some interference from other devices in the area
[01:52] <orbin> gore_: i think locate finds hiddens
[01:52] <IRCMonkeyx> orbin: it is plugged already, thanx for the link
[01:53] <kkman> narfmaster: then why should network restart fix it?
[01:53] <narfmaster> kkman, just my experience in the matter
[01:53] <narfmaster> it works, don't knock it ;)
[01:53] <gore_> I dont believe it does orbin
[01:54] <BrianB04> Heylo all.
[01:54] <orbin> gore_: i'm pretty sure it does.  it found .bashrc
[01:54] <orbin> gore_: and it also found my .vux directory
[01:55] <watson540> ok can someone help ,me here? i might have figured my problem here , im missing the 'mkmf' command, what pkg is that in?
[01:55] <orbin> gore_: do a sudo updatedb maybe
[01:55] <BrianB04> Gotta question for you guys: I have an ATI 1600 in my system. Now, after having messed with SuSe, and getting abysmal FPS with the ATI driver, anyone here have an ATI card, and can tell me how well the driver works within Ubuntu?
[01:55] <orbin> watson540: packages.ubuntu.com has a file search feature, or you can use apt-file
[01:55] <POVaddct> orbin: locate finds dotfiles like .bashrc, but it doesn't find files in not world-readable directories
[01:56] <panzar> can't find any info about this. what's the difference between the "deb" repos and the "deb-src" repos in the repos-file?
[01:56] <POVaddct> orbin: the find process for locate usually runs as user nobody
[01:56] <orbin> POVaddct: oh. i see.
[01:57] <orbin> panzar: deb-src has the source code. deb has the binaries
[01:57] <shachaf> BrianB04: Well, after some work, I'm using a Radeon X200M (though I have to recompile the module with every kernel update).
[01:57] <panzar> orbin, ok thanks
[01:57] <whiter> whats the gnome application that handles the themes
[01:57] <whiter> whats the executable called
[01:58] <orbin> gnome-theme-manager
[01:59] <orbin> shachaf: the official driver?  i tried installing that and i broke apt
[01:59] <brahmin> hi there
[01:59] <brahmin> need a little help
[01:59] <shachaf> orbin: The one from ATI's website.
[01:59] <watson540> yes that doesnt help, but i know a real guru out thee knows what 'mkmf' does and how i can get it, can anyone help?
[02:00] <brahmin> Im using old 200mhz pentium as a wifi router
[02:00] <shachaf> watson540: Is that Ruby?
[02:00] <narfmaster> watson540, imake has xmkmf
[02:00] <shachaf> watson540: ruby1.8-dev has mkmf.rb
[02:00] <watson540> yes is ruby shachaf
[02:00] <brahmin> and need to compile drivers for wifi card with rt61 chipset, but when I try to I get some errors
[02:00] <watson540> thanks ill try.
[02:01] <narfmaster> brahmin, what are the errors?
[02:02] <brahmin> not sure, just a mmnt...
[02:03] <IRCMonkeyx> orbin: i read all document, but shouldnt i install its driver before? could you tell me the way to install drivers? because when i put driver cd's nothing happens, and i dont know where device manager is, to load manually
[02:03] <brahmin> im quite a newbie and dont know if i need kernel sources if I would like to compile driver
[02:04] <narfmaster> brahmin, compiling kernel modules only requires the kernel headers
[02:05] <Bladesonfire> Does anyone know how to change my keyboard layout through the command line?
[02:05] <brahmin> narfmaster, and where can I get them...
[02:05] <narfmaster> brahmin, install "linux-headers-386"
[02:07] <IRCMonkeyx> wget -c http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/scanModem.gz
[02:07] <brahmin> narfmaster, I get this error> root@xian:~/wifi/RT61_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.4.0/Module# make all

[02:08] <orbin> IRCMonkeyx: i should defer to someone else.  i'm on cable+ethernet. not sure i can walk you through sorry
[02:08] <brahmin> narfmaster, yes
[02:08] <kay2> is there a package to install so I get gcc/make/ all the dev tools ?
[02:09] <narfmaster> Ubuntu has 2.4 but it's 2.4.27
[02:09] <IRCMonkeyx> orbin: thank you  :) let me try some
[02:09] <narfmaster> but i suspect that you really want 2.6 headers
[02:09] <orbin> kay2: build-essentail
[02:10] <orbin> *essential
[02:10] <watson5401> hey thankks for the mkmf tip man whoever helped me, unfortunately something in latest cvs xgl caused a hard lock before i could finish typing my thanks
[02:10] <watson5401> i been messing with this ruby crap all  nbight and i wanna go to bed !
[02:10] <brahmin> narfmaster, im using wifilinux distribution on the router...
[02:10] <narfmaster> brahmin, ah okay :)
[02:11] <Frogzoo> kay2: build-essential
[02:11] <brahmin> narfmaster, ubuntu is nice but too big
[02:11] <narfmaster> brahmin, then you need to install the "kernel-devel" or whatever its called
[02:11] <kay2> Frogzoo: thx
[02:12] <Polkadotshorts> Can someone please help my with MySQL?
[02:12] <brahmin> narfmaster, kernel-source-2.4.31-noarch-4mp.tgz?
[02:13] <Polkadotshorts> I ahve been following this guide: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_MYSQL_Database_Server
[02:13] <watson5401> unfortunately for me it did jack squat for the big picture so it turns out i just wasted 4 hours on ruby just for a program to not work anyway ( as i figured)
[02:13] <narfmaster> brahmin, there's no kernel-devel-2.4.31?
[02:13] <Polkadotshorts> However, I have a problem with this part: "MySQL comes with no root password as default. This is a huge security risk. You'll need to set one. So that the local computer gets root access as well, you'll need to set a password for that too. The local-machine-name is the name of the computer you're working on."
[02:13] <narfmaster> brahmin, didn't you need 2.4.18?
[02:14] <Bladesonfire> Does anyone know how to change my keyboard layout through the command line? I installed Xgl and it screws it up. Fixed when using gnome-keyboard-properties, but I want this automated when my session starts
[02:14] <Polkadotshorts> When i do all that, i get this: andre@andre-desktop:~$ mysqladmin -u root password 85120
[02:14] <Polkadotshorts> mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
[02:14] <Polkadotshorts> error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
[02:14] <brahmin> narfmaster, ill look on the dist CD..
[02:14] <jrib> Polkadotshorts: you set that password?
[02:15] <Polkadotshorts> Yes. I did.
[02:15] <mathieu> hi, i reinstalled my laptop that had wireless out-of-the-box (breezy, upgraded to dapper). Now i've reinstalled dapper. After a reboot it doesn't find ath0 anymore: "ath0: error fetching interface information: Device not found". Where should I look?
[02:15] <brahmin> narfmaster, when I type kernelversion I get just 2.4... is there any other way how to get more specific number?
[02:15] <Polkadotshorts> At least, i am trying to
[02:15] <jrib> Polkadotshorts: do this: mysql -u root -p
[02:15] <narfmaster> brahmin, try "uname -r"
[02:15] <Polkadotshorts> Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
[02:15] <Polkadotshorts> Your MySQL connection id is 10 to server version: 5.0.22-Debian_0ubuntu6.06-log
[02:15] <Polkadotshorts> Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
[02:15] <Polkadotshorts> mysql>
[02:15] <Polkadotshorts> I get that
[02:15] <Polkadotshorts> I did type in my pass when it asked.
[02:16] <brahmin> narfmaster, I just found this kernel-headers-2.4.31-i386-1.tgz
[02:16] <narfmaster> brahmin, that sounds promising
[02:16] <jrib> Polkadotshorts: exit out of there, and run it like this: mysql -u root, if that doesn't work then you are all set
[02:17] <brahmin> narfmaster, my kernel ver is 2.4.31
[02:17] <narfmaster> brahmin, good
[02:17] <Polkadotshorts> It didn't work. i get this: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[02:17] <Polkadotshorts> So, is that good?
[02:18] <jrib> Polkadotshorts: yep
[02:18] <azcazandco> hey folks
[02:18] <azcazandco> how you all doing?
[02:18] <Polkadotshorts> ok, but now...
[02:18] <Polkadotshorts> one problem
[02:18] <brahmin> narfmaster, I installed the package
[02:18] <Polkadotshorts> HOW do I log into my phpmyadmin now?
[02:19] <brahmin> narfmaster, now Im trying to compile
[02:19] <Polkadotshorts> I am on the login screen on phpmyadmin
[02:19] <richee> folks I am getting this dependency checking for LIBXML2... yes
[02:19] <richee> checking for GLIB2... yes
[02:19] <richee> checking for CSPI_1_0... configure: error: Package requirements (cspi-1.0 >= 1.2.0) were not met:
[02:19] <Polkadotshorts> I try to enter my username (which I am sure must probably be my username which i use to log in on the computer
[02:19] <richee> I install ucspi-unix and proxy but did not solve the problem
[02:20] <Polkadotshorts> Nevermind.
[02:20] <Polkadotshorts> Got it. Username was root
[02:20] <Polkadotshorts> lol
[02:20] <richee> ???
[02:21] <brahmin> narfmaster, the same error
[02:21] <brahmin> narfmaster, wrong makefile?
[02:22] <brahmin> narfmaster, what do you think?
[02:23] <narfmaster> brahmin, maybe you need to run configure
[02:23] <narfmaster> if it has configure
[02:25] <kenas> how can i see hidden folders ?
[02:25] <narfmaster> kenas, press ctrl+h
[02:25] <brahmin> narfmaster, make config
[02:25] <brahmin> make: ./Configure: Command not found
[02:25] <brahmin> make: *** [config]  Error 127
[02:26] <Curtis_Hillam> hello
[02:26] <narfmaster> brahmin, yeah i thought it might not have a configure
[02:26] <Curtis_Hillam> n00b question here but how do i log in as root from the login screen?
[02:26] <orbin> kenas: ls -a
[02:26] <orbin> kenas: or ctrl+h in nautilus
[02:26] <narfmaster> brahmin, you may need to do a search for a forum or mailing list on how to fix that
[02:26] <kenas> thnkx rbin
[02:27] <kenas> orbin thnkx
[02:27] <orbin> yw
[02:27] <ompaul> Curtis_Hillam, you don't you use sudo when you want to do something that root does, what is it you want to do?
[02:27] <Nameeater> Curtis_Hillam: its a really bad idea to do it
[02:27] <ompaul> !rootsudo> Curtis_Hillam
[02:27] <brahmin> narfmaster, ok.. thx a lot for your timw
[02:28] <ompaul> Curtis_Hillam, the channel bot has just sent you a url in a pm good idea to read it
[02:28] <narfmaster> brahmin, no problem
[02:28] <Curtis_Hillam> i wantted to use synaptic but it says im not logged in as root so can only read only
[02:28] <Curtis_Hillam> ok thank you
[02:28] <ompaul> Curtis_Hillam, when you try to use synaptic - Give it your password
[02:29] <ompaul> Curtis_Hillam, that will allow the program to run
[02:30] <samu2> hmm, i dont think i will be able to install anything on this usb hd. seems the usb on this pc is really strange. sometimes stuff works, sometimes not.
[02:30] <Curtis_Hillam> ok thank you

[02:40] <stefan_> hi all
[02:40] <stefan_> anyone may help me with a NFS-question? there seems to be no channel for that...
[02:41] <HBuzacott> gore_, goto /schemas/apps/workspace_switcher_applet/prefs and 'unset' display_all_workspaces
[02:41] <Schalken> stefg: none of the pins are bent, i can tell you that much. i dont think its the wiring.
[02:41] <gore_> through gcon-editor?
[02:41] <narfmaster> johnnyX, DVDs with copy-protection won't play without the libdvdcss2 installed
[02:41] <HBuzacott> gore_, yes
[02:41] <telemaco> anyone is on edge ? how stable is ?
[02:42] <Frogzoo> johnnyX: you installed libdvdcss2
[02:42] <johnnyX> narfmaster, no dvd's will play
[02:42] <gore_> thanks a bunch HBuzacott, I dont know why I didn't try that
[02:42] <johnnyX> and they played with my last installation
[02:42] <loveddm> perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C")         what's this sentence mean?
[02:42] <johnnyX> yes Frogzoo
[02:42] <loveddm> what's that mean
[02:42] <Frogzoo> johnnyX: u using totem ?
[02:43] <johnnyX> totem, gxine , xine , vlc , mplayer
[02:43] <johnnyX> none work
[02:44] <Nameeater> you need to install totem-xine
[02:45] <johnnyX> i have
[02:45] <Nameeater> :/
[02:45] <johnnyX> how do i fix the dvd problem
[02:45] <Frogzoo> johnnyX: totem won't work - but gxine will - just set the path to /dev/dvdrom
[02:45] <Barkley> so when you have mult disks on a machine /dev/sda1 hda1/2/3 etc  where do most people mount these on the system?  as in, is there a standard place like /mnt/disk1 /mnt/disk2 that people use?
[02:45] <Barkley> for hard drives i mean
[02:45] <Nameeater> johnnyX: have you tried rebooting? :o
[02:45] <johnnyX> Frogzoo, xine doesnt work
[02:45] <johnnyX> um yes
[02:45] <Nameeater> bugger :(
[02:45] <narfmaster> Barkley, usually in the /media folder
[02:45] <Healot> !libxine-extracodecs
[02:46] <Paladine> johnny, do you have libdvdcss2 installed?
[02:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about libxine-extracodecs
[02:46] <johnnyX> yes
[02:46] <Healot> !info libxine-extracodecs

[02:46] <Paladine> I had issues with dvds I had to reinstall libdvdcss2
[02:46] <Barkley> narfmaster ah media ok.  is there a standard naming convention that most people follow?
[02:46] <Frogzoo> johnnyX: use gxine & configure dvd path as /dev/dvd
[02:47] <narfmaster> Barkley, usually hd/sd# for harddrives or cdrom# for CD/DVD drives
[02:47] <johnnyX> i have Frogzoo
[02:47] <johnnyX> thats not the problem
[02:47] <johnnyX> it doesnt mount dvds
[02:47] <johnnyX> manually or otherwise
[02:48] <Barkley> narfmaster ok got it, perfect...understood. thnx
[02:48] <narfmaster> Barkley, you're welcome
[02:50] <wildman> using dapper x86_64 here (gnome), with konversation, OSD is active, but not working, any ideas?
[02:50] <azcazandco> can anyone tell me how to drag stuff between desktops in GNOME?
[02:51] <narfmaster> azcazandco, drag in the switcher
[02:51] <orbin> heh, didn't know that
[02:51] <narfmaster> hehe
[02:51] <azcazandco> nice
[02:51] <azcazandco> thanks
[02:51] <Tomcat_> Didn't know that either... :)
[02:51] <narfmaster> it is nice :)
[02:51] <Tomcat_> I knew you could drag windows there... but content? Wow. :O
[02:51] <Pupeno> Why are info sections of basic things that I have installed, just as gprof, missing ? I have the man page but the info is missing ? Maybe there's some package containing them ? I can't find it.
[02:52] <jpjacobs> or control-alt-shift-arrow
[02:52] <Ng> if you make the top panel 25 pixels tall instead of 24 you get little icons in the larger windows in it too :)
[02:52] <azcazandco> I tell you something for nothing, I need to find a good get up to speed with the gimp tutorial
[02:52] <azcazandco> i have been using photoshop for years and am lost
[02:53] <wildman> azcazandco: aren't tutorials on GIMP site good enoguh? (www.gimp.org, look for Tutorials link)
[02:53] <Barkley> narfmaster why are cdrom and floppy symlinked in that directory?  and do i need to precreate the directories using the device names in media before mounting?
[02:54] <Barkley> i'm assuming the disk manager in ubuntu modifies fstab permanently or no?
[02:54] <narfmaster> Barkley, i don't know about the symlinks but i don't think you need to make the folders for the devices
[02:54] <sobersabre> hi guys, I am trying to help somebody with ndiswrapper. he states the card connects and then disconnects at random. need help to characterize this thing...  I am using ipw2200 card, with no problems AT all.
[02:56] <narfmaster> then again, i could be wrong :p
[02:56] <Frogzoo> azcazandco: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/
[02:56] <azcazandco> thanks Frogzoo
[02:57] <wildman> using dapper x86_64 here (gnome), with konversation, OSD is active, but not working, any ideas? (not working = I don't see OSD when someone writes me a message even if that option is active in konversation settings)
[02:58] <Barkley> Do you have to make the physical directory for the mount point before mounting?  As in sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 -t ntfs -o umask=0222 <----- does /media/sdb1 have to already exist?
[02:58] <technel> If I want to completely uninstall a package can I use "apt-get --purge remove azureus"?
[02:58] <technel> to delete config files and all
[02:59] <pppoe_dude> technel: yes
[02:59] <Mistero83> ciao a tutti
[02:59] <technel> pppoe_dude, And that deletes *everything*?
[02:59] <rajk> hey everyone, i just recompiled a new kernel on 5.10 and ive lost sound. i had it with the kernel packaged with the distro. i have intel onboard sound.. any help?
[02:59] <narfmaster> Barkley, yes i think so
[03:00] <narfmaster> Barkley, make sure you sudo chmod 755 /media/sdb1
[03:00] <pppoe_dude> technel: yes
[03:01] <orbin> technel: well it won't remove any dependency packages it installed ... aptitude though, does.
[03:01] <technel> pppoe_dude, Alright, thanks
[03:01] <technel> orbin, But you have to have installed it through aptitude for it to detect the dependencies no longer needed, don't you?
[03:01] <orbin> yes
[03:01] <pppoe_dude> Barkley: yes you have to
[03:01] <orbin> which is why i finally saw the light and switched to aptitude :)
[03:02] <technel> orbin, Eh, too late for that now :) Although it would be nice to get rid of the extra 70+mb of dependencies
[03:02] <dxdemetriou> how can I disable the auto black screen? I have disable the screen savers and removed the DPMS from xorg.conf
[03:02] <ndee> http://tazforum.thetazzone.com/viewtopic.php?t=2189 I try to install the nvidia driver for my machine but when I restart X, it tells me that no screens are found. What can I do?
[03:03] <orbin> dxdemetriou: sys > prefs > power mgt
[03:03] <Barkley> thanks people :D
[03:03] <thenuke> how do I fix this? "please check that your locale settings fi_FI... are supported and installed on your system."
[03:03] <JoaoJoao> install the fi_FI locale? :)
[03:03] <DVDx> guys what do i have to have installed in order to b ab;e to watch a DVD on ubuntu
[03:03] <wildman> thenuke: exporting the correct locales, stumbled onto this with perl scripts and my locale (es_AR.UTF8)
[03:03] <thenuke> JoaoJoao: yes but how :)
[03:03] <Lars_IN> is there an easy way to determine which network driver my WiFi card is using?
[03:04] <thenuke> wildman: umm, so how I do export them?
[03:04] <dxdemetriou> orbin, thanks for the help :)
[03:04] <orbin> dxdemetriou: yw.  i couldn't work out why it was still blanking too
[03:05] <wildman> thenuke: can we go pvt? I don't want to flood here with pasteing :) (even if it's just 4 lines...)
[03:05] <RickX> does anyone know if it is possible to have your home directory on a USB stick when using ubuntu ?
[03:05] <RickX> .. from a LIveCD/DVD
[03:05] <thenuke> wildman: sure
[03:05] <hastesaver> wildman, you can also use Pastebin
[03:05] <wildman> hastesaver: too much work for 4 lines :)
[03:06] <hastesaver> RickX, I don't see why not. It should be possible, AFAICT
[03:06] <dudleh> RickX, you can change the home directory variable when you login
[03:06] <dudleh> forgotten the name of it though
[03:06] <wildman> but it looks like pvt chat isn't working, so I'll go the pastebin way, thenuke: ok?
[03:06] <Lars_IN> being more specific.  I have an Intel 2200bg wireless card in my notebook, and I'm attempting to convince Kismet it wants to play nice.
[03:06] <FrdPrefct> Hello - Is openoffice in Ubuntu going to be updates to 2.0.3?  If not, is there a way to update it?
[03:06] <RickX> dudleh, are there some directions I can look up?
[03:07] <Lars_IN> bah....
[03:08] <narfmaster> FrdPrefct, https://launchpad.net/products/dapper-backports/+bug/51631
[03:08] <FrdPrefct> marfm: Thanks!
[03:08] <hastesaver> RickX, one thing you can do is just login, and then set "HOME=/media/usbdisk" (or whatever). But this is a kludge, I'm sure there's a better solution
[03:09] <wildman> thenuke: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17335
[03:09] <wildman> thenuke: plz let me know if it fixes your problem.
[03:10] <dudleh> RickX, when you get to the prompt, assuming the usb drive is mounted with a dir home, do HOME=/mnt/usb/home
[03:10] <dudleh> also assuming it was mounted at /mnt/usb
[03:10] <wildman> BTW, lol... I've misunderstood pastebin's "Name" field and used it as a title for the paste :P
[03:11] <wildman> fixed name on pastebin :)
[03:12] <wildman> thenuke: I forgot to mention that you have to reopen a terminal window for the settings to ~/.bashrc to take effect, or to run 'source ~/.bashrc'
[03:14] <Barkley> are ntfs mounts read-only under ubuntu?
[03:14] <Barkley> is writing experimental still?
[03:15] <orbin> yep, afaik
[03:16] <narfmaster> ntfs is an old file system
[03:16] <narfmaster> they really need to update it
[03:17] <FrdPrefct> narfmaster: Not going to winfs anytime soon  =P
[03:18] <FrdPrefct> narfmaster: Needs to be on Fat32 or NTFS depending on which windows you are installing
[03:18] <Barkley> windows can read ext3 through an IFS (installable file system) driver, but prob can't boot off it
[03:18] <|rt|> narfmaster: there is an ext3 read only driver for windows
[03:19] <njan> narfmaster, ntfs is updated with each windows release
[03:19] <narfmaster> it would be sweet to replace ntfs, though
[03:19] <Barkley> why ntfs is fine?
[03:19] <njan> narfmaster, NTFS in 2k3/XP is actually v3.1, it's not the same filing system as the original one that shipped with NT 3.51..
[03:19] <orbin> |rt|: actually isn't it read AND write? http://fs-driver.org/
[03:19] <azcazandco> is it possible to save / autoload your multiple desktops?
[03:20] <|rt|> orbin: dunno it's been a long time since I've looked at that project
[03:20] <Barkley> i think you can r/w ext2, not 3
[03:21] <njan> narfmaster, in several respects it's actually better than Ext3, in fact.. the maximum filesize and volumesize are considerably bigger and there are certain reliability advantages NTFS has particularly as far as data recovery's concerned.
[03:22] <narfmaster> hmm, maybe XFS or JFS would be better
[03:22] <DVDx> VLC won't play any of my dvd's either =\
[03:22] <DVDx> grrr
[03:23] <njan> narfmaster, xfs is substantially less reliable than NTFS and Ext3 unless you happen to have a very reliable power source
[03:23] <njan> narfmaster, the way XFS caches makes it particularly bad at recovering from sudden failures.
[03:23] <DVDx> says you do not have appropriate plugins to handle it
[03:23] <DVDx> in totem
[03:23] <thenuke> wildman: locale-gen fi_FI did something, but these few scandinavian chars still wont work (a and o with dots on)
[03:23] <fyrestrtr> !restrictedformats > DVDx
[03:24] <stefg> DVDx: consider easyubuntu to set everything up for you
[03:24] <wildman> thenuke: that's a different pb ;) do you still get the 'falling back to xxx locale' messages?
[03:24] <stefg> !easyubuntu
[03:24] <ubotu> EasyUbuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of easyubuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[03:25] <Barkley> so should i just use ext3 for all my file systems? desktop, music, database, etc?
[03:25] <njan> Barkley, yes.
[03:25] <njan> Barkley, unless you have a compelling reason not to, the support alone is worth it.
[03:25] <Barkley> yeah i follow
[03:25] <narfmaster> ext3 is probably the most widely supported
[03:25] <Barkley> i haven't seen benchmarks that are that much higher in resier
[03:25] <njan> Barkley, if your FS isn't written to a lot, Ext2 might be worth considering simply because it's easiest to recover data from
[03:25] <wildman> Barkley: some apps might benefit a bit/lot from the correct FS...
[03:26] <fyrestrtr> reiserfs is good too
[03:26] <njan> Barkley, so you might consider it for /boot or a /store partition or whatever.
[03:26] <njan> Barkley, but for /, ~, etc, I'd definitely go with ext3.
[03:26] <wildman> Barkley: like databases for example, but that's a whole science :P. I'm sure u'll find lots of articles on the net about this...
[03:26] <JohnRobert> In ubuntu 6.6, do the windows in gnome 'stick' together when you move them near each other?
[03:26] <Barkley> yeah i follow
[03:26] <fyrestrtr> JohnRobert: no
[03:26] <Barkley> this is just a desktop machine
[03:26] <JohnRobert> bah!
[03:26] <fyrestrtr> JohnRobert: with compiz they do ;)
[03:26] <JohnRobert> do in fedora core 5
[03:26] <JohnRobert> :p
[03:26] <JohnRobert> w/o compiz
[03:26] <Barkley> massive music, database work, compiling, etc.
[03:27] <IRCMonkeyx> hi people, anyone could help me to install usb modem, i did steps from admin/network it sees ethernet, but not modem
[03:27] <Barkley> not a server
[03:27] <fyrestrtr> JohnRobert: might be a setting you need to tweak.
[03:27] <gwark>  my sound keeps dropping out ... it isnt the connection ... their fine. could it be an updated alsa driver bug ?
[03:27] <aLPHa_LeaK> in fluxbox they stick as well
[03:27] <fyrestrtr> Barkley: reiserfs is what I would recommend.
[03:27] <Barkley> for data drives?
[03:27] <Barkley> over ext3?
[03:28] <Barkley> why, just curious...i've read various articles and seen the benchmarks.  it does appear that much faster for  desktop use
[03:28] <fyrestrtr> depends on the kind of data you will be storing. For a large files, reiserfs is better. For large amount of small files, ext3.
[03:28] <thenuke> wildman: nope, I did not get anymore that error, and rebooting seemed to fix this new errors :) now my  and  work in irc too :>
[03:28] <wildman> thenuke: all solved then ;)
[03:28] <fyrestrtr> Barkley: of course, this was way back when I was first trying to figure out what was the big deal with reiserfs -- might have changed.
[03:28] <njan> Barkley, again, I'd recommend against reiserfs. It's both less reliable and less well supported, in my experience.
[03:28] <wildman> thenuke: for the fonts, maybe just restarting X might have solved it ;)
[03:28] <IRCMonkeyx> hi people, anyone could help me to install usb modem, i did steps from admin/network it sees ethernet, but not modem
[03:29] <fyrestrtr> Barkley: avoid reiserfs4 like the plague.
[03:29] <fyrestrtr> IRCMonkeyx: what kind of modem is it?
[03:29] <Barkley> ok thnx folks...i'm going boring tried and true
[03:29] <Barkley> ext3
[03:29] <thenuke> wildman: yep
[03:29] <njan> I've had nasty breakage with reiserfs when treating it nicely several times, and the number of people who'll be able to help you out with it are fairly low in number, vs. ext3 which rarely if ever breaks, and which is pretty much the de facto FS in linux and therefore has good support.
[03:29] <wildman> thenuke: good.
[03:29] <redguy> fyrestrtr, isn't it the other way around? reiser good for small files, ext3 for big?
[03:29] <JohnRobert> there's no gconf setting to do it fyrestrtr
[03:29] <IRCMonkeyx> fyrestrtr: it is pikatel modem, karde
[03:29] <Barkley> redguy agree---i think he had it backwards
[03:30] <fyrestrtr> Barkley: fwiw, I have always used reiserfs ... never had a problem. I have also used ext3 without glitch, but I found that for movies and other large length files, reiserfs seemed faster.
[03:30] <JohnRobert> as far as I can see anyway
[03:30] <JohnRobert> resier is faster
[03:30] <zybrid> Tips on a free dns-service for my domains?
[03:30] <JohnRobert> reiser
[03:30] <fyrestrtr> redguy: might be, I forgot to be honest, I know it was one of the other :P
[03:30] <fyrestrtr> zybrid: dyndns ?
[03:30] <zybrid> fyrestrtr: dyns isnt free.
[03:30] <JohnRobert> yes it is
[03:31] <fyrestrtr> IRCMonkeyx: unplug it, type tail -f /var/log/messages -- and then plug it in and watch the terminal for clues.
[03:31] <Barkley> is there a way to use du -h to get the size of all the top level directories in the folder where you are looking?
[03:31] <fyrestrtr> zybrid: you can always run your own dns (as I do).
[03:31] <fyrestrtr> Barkley: du --max-depth=1 -h
[03:31] <JohnRobert> I use djbdns it's easy and secure
[03:31] <zybrid> fyrestrtr: well, i only have adsl
[03:31] <Barkley> beautiful thanks fyrestrtr
[03:32] <JohnRobert> zybrid, dns lookups require very little traffic
[03:32] <fyrestrtr> zybrid: dns lookups are very light.
[03:32] <zybrid> true
[03:32] <Barkley> this is why ubuntu will win....the community doesn't eat it's young :D
[03:32] <fyrestrtr> They use udp (most of them) so they are *really* light (compared to the whole tcp package)
[03:32] <JohnRobert> Barkley, it's not a competition
[03:32] <fyrestrtr> Barkley: just ate.
[03:32] <IRCMonkeyx> fyrestrtr: is this all "tail -f /var/log/messages"  ? sorry i am very new to linux
[03:32] <zybrid> fyrestrtr: any tips on a great dns-package?
[03:32] <Barkley> JohnRobert ok, ok
[03:33] <fyrestrtr> IRCMonkeyx: yes, open up a terminal, and type that in there.
[03:33] <fyrestrtr> zybrid: if you want the easy way -- install bind and webmin and let webmin manage the zone files for you. I have heard good things about djbdns (or whatever its called) too, but I have personally only used bind.
[03:34] <DerekRusso> Hi, can someone help me get java working?
[03:34] <fyrestrtr> zybrid: bind is the most popular dns server by far.
[03:34] <JohnRobert> djbdns has one very easy config file, but it's more complex to install
[03:34] <jokersmild> hi
[03:34] <JohnRobert> you have to run djb's service deamon thing
[03:34] <KenSentMe> fyrestrtr: too bad webmin isn't in the repos any more
[03:34] <mattnash> Hello all.  I am having trouble installing Perl modules in the CPAN shell in a brand new Dapper installation: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17338
[03:34] <KenSentMe> !java > DerekRusso
[03:34] <zybrid> fyrestrtr: thanks
[03:34] <fyrestrtr> DerekRusso: what is your issue with java?
[03:35] <DerekRusso> well, I'm new to linux so I think it's my fault, but I try following the wiki and I can't get it to work
[03:35] <DerekRusso> it says I don't have the correct dependencies
[03:35] <gwark> sound issue fixed itself after a reboot. wierd.
[03:36] <KenSentMe> !sources > DerekRusso
[03:36] <kingruedi> hi
[03:36] <KenSentMe> DerekRusso: check what ubotu tells you
[03:36] <jokersmild> I need to find a Linux consultant to help me work out some issues with Ubuntu
[03:36] <KenSentMe> jokersmild: just ask your question and maybe someone can help
[03:36] <DerekRusso> ok Ken, I'll run it again and tell you what it says
[03:36] <Barkley> JohnRobert i was busy there for a sec, but wanted to say okok, perhaps i should rephrase that, this is what i have found to be diff and refreshing about hte ub community :D
[03:37] <jokersmild> Is there anybody in the LA area that is willing to come by and help me configure my install
[03:37] <jokersmild> ?
[03:37] <Kibbled_bit1> hi all
[03:37] <DerekRusso> "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: sun-java5-jre"
[03:37] <JohnRobert> Barkley, what communities did you have trouble with? I don't actually use ubuntu
[03:37] <DerekRusso> I downloaded a java5-jre package but that one didn't work either
[03:37] <Kibbled_bit1> Joker: what problems are you having
[03:37] <zybrid> but i would like my dns server to be on a static ip :/
[03:38] <jokersmild> I am unable to change the resolution within ubuntu
[03:38] <DerekRusso> that one says "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: sun-java5-bin|ia32-sun-java5-bin
[03:38] <zybrid> perhaps i can bind the domains to a dyndns account, heh.
[03:38] <KenSentMe> DerekRusso: have you added the multiverse repository?
[03:38] <jokersmild> I try and all it does is flicker and then take me back to the login screen
[03:38] <Kibbled_bit1> oh okay that's easy: System >> Preferences >> Change Resolution
[03:38] <Kibbled_bit1> something like that
[03:38] <DerekRusso> I may not have, hold on one second and I will see
[03:38] <kingruedi> i want to use my soundcard (sb live!) and a mic to do some recording. I can hear everything on the speaker but audacity fails to record a thing. So how to set up audacity or alsa to record something?
[03:39] <Kibbled_bit1> if you need more customization than that then edit the config file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:39] <Kibbled_bit1> something like that
[03:39] <Kibbled_bit1> I can dig up the page for you that details it perfectly
[03:39] <Barkley> JohnRobert none, just observing a diff in the enthusiastic helpfulness amoung ub users
[03:39] <DerekRusso> can I add the multiverse repository through add/remove?
[03:40] <DerekRusso> I'm not sure how to add it
[03:40] <KenSentMe> DerekRusso: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/extra-repositories.html
[03:40] <JohnRobert> Barkley, I dunno, I think the helpfullness is probably mainly due to the number of people rather than the individuals :p
[03:40] <KenSentMe> DerekRusso: check there
[03:40] <DerekRusso> thanks
[03:40] <JohnRobert> quite good really, creates a snowballing effect
[03:40] <jokersmild> Kibbled I have tried to find info in the ubuntu community and nobody has an answer for my question at the moment...I see that other people are having the sam issue, but there are no solutions offered
[03:40] <fyrestrtr> what is the problem?
[03:40] <Kibbled_bit1> JOKER: try: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:41] <DerekRusso> ok, I've changed that
[03:41] <wildman> ppl, I have a WML file (WAP XML) in a 'strange' encoding, which I cannot open, anyone stumbled onto this before?
[03:41] <DerekRusso> now, should the installer work?
[03:41] <Barkley> ok thnx for the guidance folks bye
[03:41] <KenSentMe> DerekRusso: have you also clicked reload?
[03:42] <Kibbled_bit1> Joker: you are right I have seen it is a reoccuring issue
[03:42] <DerekRusso> yes, awesome, looks like it's going to install
[03:42] <fyrestrtr> wildman: how have you tried to open it?
[03:42] <KenSentMe> DerekRusso: nice
[03:42] <DerekRusso> thanks a lot
[03:42] <Kibbled_bit1> I wonder if it's due to video/monitor drivers
[03:42] <megasquid> i'm trying to link the ubuntu mysql socket to /tmp/mysql.sock where most apps look, but it keeps being delted everytime i restart anyone know a better way for me to do this?
[03:42] <florian> hi, is it possible that a bash variable contains more than one line? if so, how can i access only the 2nd line?
[03:42] <wildman> fyrestrtr: emacs, gedit, less (I see crap)
[03:42] <DerekRusso> now, should that just automatically work in firefox, or am I going to have to do something else to get it working there?
[03:42] <Kibbled_bit1> because Ubuntu SHOULD detect the video cards resolutions that it supports
[03:42] <wildman> fyrestrtr: gedit refuses directly with all encodings I've tried, emacs and less show 'binary-like' crap
[03:42] <exiro> hello, can somebody help me? Is it possible to prevent a window flashing while I am in another desktop on the account{for example, a Gaim chat window while someone has said something to me}?
[03:43] <wildman> fyrestrtr: and file ze_file.wml tells me ... it's an MPEG video! :P
[03:43] <fyrestrtr> megasquid: you can change that in the mysql configuration, or just create a symlink.
[03:43] <KenSentMe> DerekRusso: i think it's written in the wiki page
[03:43] <DerekRusso> ok
[03:43] <WooD> Any of you as been able to sync Pocket PC Mobile 5.0 to Evolution on Ubuntu ?
[03:43] <DerekRusso> let me take a look
[03:43] <wildman> fyrestrtr: just installed kate, will try to open with it now...
[03:43] <fyrestrtr> wildman: its not wml then, probably has the wrong extension.
[03:43] <megasquid> fyrestrtr, yeah the symlink keeps being deleted
[03:43] <fyrestrtr> wildman: if you keep opening it up like that,you might corrupt the file.
[03:44] <Kibbled_bit1> WooD, what happens when you plug it in?
[03:44] <wildman> fyrestrtr: no pb with that, cuz I can get the 'original' back
[03:44] <megasquid> fyrestrtr, if i change to the mysql config does it create the socket there or look for it there?
[03:44] <DerekRusso> Another, unrelated question.  Does anyone know a good video/voice chat program that can go between linux and windows?
[03:44] <Kyral> Skype?
[03:44] <fyrestrtr> megasquid: if it doesn't exist, it will create it -- assuming it can (ie, the directory exists, and the user launching it has permissions to create files there)
[03:44] <DerekRusso> skype doesn't do video in linux, I don't think
[03:44] <fyrestrtr> megasquid: more questions > #mysql
[03:45] <fyrestrtr> DerekRusso: Ekiga
[03:45] <KenSentMe> Kyral: Skype for linux doesn't work with video yet, i think
[03:45] <DerekRusso> Ekiga doesn't have a windows installer that I can find
[03:45] <Kyral> Dunno then
[03:45] <Kyral> I don't use it
[03:45] <Kyral> (Voice/Video Chat that is)
[03:45] <fyrestrtr> Ekiga uses netmeeting, so just have your windows buddy use netmeeting.
[03:45] <DerekRusso> ahh
[03:45] <WooD> Kibbled_bit1: i have been read a lot of forum for this and after all of test .. did not worked.. had to reinstall ubuntu because it was all $%?&, I think that Pocket PC Mobile 5.0 is not already compatible with Ubuntu
[03:45] <DerekRusso> interesting
[03:45] <mattnash> Hello, can anyone help me with a CPAN problem on a new Dapper installation?
[03:45] <DerekRusso> I will give that a try, thanks guys
[03:45] <[zero] > Hi does anyone know if there is a way to connect my Samsung d600 to ubuntu? there is a windows program which comes with it but I dont use windows?
[03:45] <Kyral> Perl! WHOOO!!
[03:46] <Kyral> Whats a Samsung d600?
[03:46] <fyrestrtr> !anyone
[03:46] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:46] <mattnash> I tried that, and nobody responded.
[03:46] <fyrestrtr> [zero] : what kind of device is it?
[03:46] <fyrestrtr> mattnash: what was your question?
[03:46] <[zero] > fyrestrtr: usb
[03:46] <WooD> zero: is it a smartphone ?
[03:46] <megasquid> fyrestrtr, thanks
[03:46] <[zero] > Kyral: a mobile phone
[03:46] <Kyral> Ah
[03:46] <fyrestrtr> [zero] : .... ermm .... is it a music player? phone? what?
[03:47] <exiro> hello? is there a way to prevent active windows flashing while I'm in another desktop in my account?
[03:47] <wildman> fyrestrtr: kate 'barks' it might be a binary file, but opens it and I can see XML markup!
[03:47] <[zero] > oh yeh I want to put mp3s on so yeh
[03:47] <mattnash> Here's the pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17338
[03:47] <mattnash> I can't install any CPAN modules
[03:47] <fyrestrtr> wildman: seems the program that wrote it, put some erroneous bits in it.
[03:47] <Kibbled_bit1> exiro: I don't know of any way
[03:47] <[zero] > its a phone tho fyrestrtr
[03:47] <Kyral> yanno it might be good to say "<Model number> <Device Type (Mobile Phone, Camera, etc)"
[03:47] <mattnash> "LICENSE is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.
[03:47] <mattnash> "
[03:48] <Kibbled_bit1> to some degree that might be out of your power, I haven't found most Windows as invasive as Windows, but I know what you mean
[03:48] <florian> how to handle sql-selects in a bash script?
[03:48] <wildman> fyrestrtr: yep, I'm being told that Windows' notepad opens the file w/o pbs...
[03:48] <exiro> well, can I totally prevent them from flashing?
[03:48] <wildman> fyrestrtr: so it might be a bad encoding... thx anyway.
[03:48] <Kibbled_bit1> why are they flashing?
[03:48] <Kibbled_bit1> what app is it?
[03:48] <Kyral> mattnash: I'm no Perl Wizard but looks like a problem with the perl module
[03:48] <exiro> Gaim
[03:48] <Kyral> mattnash: ask in #perl?
[03:48] <mattnash> Kyral: I would think so on both counts
[03:49] <mattnash> But ALL modules do this
[03:49] <fyrestrtr> wildman: in Kate, File -> Save As ;)
[03:49] <Kibbled_bit1> there are some settings in Gaim that you can set to minimize that
[03:49] <Kibbled_bit1> I believe  ;)
[03:49] <mattnash> and #perl is full of sociopaths, none of whom want to help me
[03:49] <wildman> fyrestrtr: mind reader ;)
[03:49] <Kyral> exiro: There should be a setting someplace in Gaim (something like msg notification)
[03:49] <fyrestrtr> mattnash: before I say its a bad module, have you install build-essential ?
[03:49] <Kyral> mattnash: I dunno, never run into that problem with CPAN
[03:49] <mattnash> let me check
[03:49] <exiro> with a UI or in the terminal?
[03:49] <Kyral> fyrestrtr: CPAN is basically a perl specific version of Apt :P
[03:50] <mattnash> build-essential is installed
[03:50] <fyrestrtr> Kyral: yeah, I know what it is.
[03:50] <ditt0> I installed ubuntu, on a disk that had xp in first partition, now when I boot up ,it says operating system not found, what do i do?
[03:50] <Kyral> I dig CPAN
[03:50] <fyrestrtr> mattnash: tried another module?
[03:50] <Kyral> I also dig RubyGems :D
[03:50] <hangfire> what is CPAN?
[03:50] <Kibbled_bit1> what's the CPAN/Perl problem
[03:50] <fyrestrtr> Kyral: pear is modeled after it.
[03:50] <Kibbled_bit1> what error are you getting?
[03:50] <fyrestrtr> hangfire: Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, I think.
[03:50] <Kyral> hangfire: Central Perl Archive Network or somesuch
[03:50] <mattnash> Yes, any module I try will do this.  I am choosing Test::Simple because it goes quickly, as opposed to Bundle::CPAN
[03:51] <Kyral> yah I think fyrestrtr is right
[03:51] <hangfire> oh, thx
[03:51] <fyrestrtr> mattnash: lemme try it here.
[03:51] <Kyral> mattnash: Didja try updating CPAN itself?
[03:51] <mattnash> Kyral is right
[03:51] <mattnash> The way to update CPAN is through CPAN
[03:51] <mattnash> which doesn't work
[03:51] <IRCMonkeyx> fyrestrtr: i wrote the command that u said, it says no such file or diretory
[03:51] <Kyral> PEAR is Python's version of CPAN right?
[03:51] <mattnash> how about perl -v
[03:52] <fyrestrtr> Kyral: php's version
[03:52] <ditt0> anybody can help? I installed ubuntu on a disk that had xp on first partition, now when booting up it says operating system not found.. I am now booted up using live cd, GParted shows that the partitions are there...
[03:52] <fyrestrtr> python has python eggs or some such.
[03:52] <DerekRusso> ok, I got java working, but the chat that I want to use it for breaks when I try to load it, I get an exception
[03:52] <DerekRusso> does anyone have any suggestions about that?  It works on windows
[03:52] <fyrestrtr> IRCMonkeyx: how did you type it in?
[03:52] <fyrestrtr> DerekRusso: same vm?
[03:52] <Kyral> I dig Ruby :D
[03:52] <IRCMonkeyx> tail -f/var/log/messages
[03:52] <dar1> greetings
[03:52] <DerekRusso> what is vm? heh, I'm not very up to speed on this
[03:52] <Kyral> It throws in like all the best things of all the languages I have learned into one :D
[03:52] <narfmaster> ditt0, you probably have a grub install problem
[03:53] <IRCMonkeyx> fyrestrtr: tail -f/var/log/messages
[03:53] <hangfire> kryral, whats so great about Ruby? Isnt that just a more object oriented Python?
[03:54] <Kyral> hangfire: Its....good stuff lol
[03:54] <hawkaloogie> ruby is an oriental perl
[03:54] <Kyral> Its unretarded Java :P
[03:54] <fyrestrtr> IRCMonkeyx: tail -f /var/log/messages (note the space)
[03:54] <DerekRusso> does anyone have any way to help me try and fix this java problem?
[03:54] <Kyral> www.ruby-lang.org
[03:54] <Kyral> and I....need to go to work
[03:54] <florian> is there a way to get lines from a file that do NOT match a pattern?
[03:54] <fyrestrtr> DerekRusso: well, we don't know what chat app you are trying.
[03:54] <njan> florian, grep -v
[03:54] <IRCMonkeyx> fyrestrtr: i tried with space and without space
[03:54] <Kyral> florian: grep -v
[03:54] <redguy> florian, grep -v
[03:54] <fyrestrtr> florian: sure, grep -v
[03:55] <Kyral> lol
[03:55] <redguy> hah
[03:55] <florian> ;) thanx
[03:55] <njan> heh
[03:55] <Kyral> you know you are shell scripter when....
[03:55] <redguy> florian, man grep would have told you that as well :-)
[03:55] <Kyral> grep -v ^$ has got to be my most often used grep command
[03:55] <ditt0> narf: is there anything I can do; I have the drive mounted via live cd, and /boot/grub exists in the mounted partition
[03:55] <fyrestrtr> IRCMonkeyx: there is something wrong with your setup. What version of ubuntu are you running?
[03:55] <florian> i looked, didn't find; -- i-v, --invert-match        select non-matching lines
[03:56] <hangfire> thats saying a lot to say that Ruby is unretarded Java. Java is a pretty good language, better at OOP than C++ in some respects
[03:56] <CarlFK> how can I see what packages I have installed that match *pilot* ?
[03:56] <fyrestrtr> ditt0: there is a wiki entry about this kind of stuff.
[03:56] <fyrestrtr> !grub
[03:56] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:56] <IRCMonkeyx> fyrestrtr: when i write to terminal sudo pppoeconf, it makes first step, in second step , it says device not connected or using by other program
[03:56] <narfmaster> ditt0, did you double-check the BIOS boot settings?
[03:56] <Kyral> hangfire: I have a thing against Java so take anything I say with a grain of salt :P
[03:56] <IRCMonkeyx> fyrstrtr : i use 6.0.6
[03:56] <Kyral> but now...WORK!
[03:56] <DerekRusso> Anyone there that might be able to help me with the java problem?
[03:56] <fyrestrtr> IRCMonkeyx: in terminal, when you type cat /var/log/messages -- what do you get?
[03:56] <ditt0> narf: bios is definitely okay...
[03:57] <IRCMonkeyx> fyrestrtr:   should i write these --??
[03:57] <IRCMonkeyx> --
[03:57] <fyrestrtr> IRCMonkeyx: no
[03:58] <fyrestrtr> type what is between the > and <
[03:58] <fyrestrtr> >cat /var/log/messages<
[03:58] <IRCMonkeyx> ok let me try cat thing, i need to restart
[03:58] <fyrestrtr> IRCMonkeyx: without the > and <
[03:58] <IRCMonkeyx> cause i am on xp
[03:58] <IRCMonkeyx> ok
[03:58] <fyrestrtr> ermm ...
[03:59] <hangfire> my clock is not sychronized in ubuntu, anyone know why that could be?
[03:59] <st_iron> hi
[03:59] <KenSentMe> fyrestrtr: has he been on WinXP all the time? No wonder cat doesn't work
[03:59] <megasquid> is xgl prone to crashing?
[03:59] <wildman> fyrestrtr: FYI, the file was saved with Windows' "Unicode" encoding, which is bad, saving with UTF-8 encoding in notepad solved it
[03:59] <fyrestrtr> KenSentMe: yeah, its one for clientcopia
[04:00] <narfmaster> megasquid, XGL/Compiz is highly unstable
[04:00] <Kibbled_bit1> HangFire: anything from battery on your mobo to wrong timezone setting
[04:00] <Kibbled_bit1> but that should word OOB
[04:00] <jstew> Hi. I have an md raid that keeps getting resynced on every reboot even though it's clean. Is there a bug somewhere?
[04:00] <fyrestrtr> megasquid: if you have the exact correct combination of video card + drivers + kernel + compiz + xgl -- I have heard its stable.
[04:00] <hangfire> ok, thx Kibbled
[04:01] <xukun> how can I apply changes in .bashrc and .xsession without rebooting?
[04:01] <Lars_IN> what is the command line string to burn an ISO to a cd?
[04:01] <fyrestrtr> xukun: logout -- restart gdm -- then login again, that should take care of it.
[04:01] <fyrestrtr> Lars_IN: right click on the file, choose 'write to disc'
[04:02] <Lars_IN> fyrestrtr: that easy eh?  NICE
[04:02] <Lars_IN> fyrestrtr: that start with dapper?
[04:02] <fyrestrtr> don't think so
[04:02] <narfmaster> Lars_IN, cdrecord
[04:02] <hangfire> thats weird, its says I dont have NTP support to sychronize my time, its always been automatic before
[04:03] <fyrestrtr> just install ntp-client
[04:03] <Kibbled_bit1> what changed?  'before' what?
[04:03] <GianLuigiBuffon> everytime that I use synaptics... when it finish i receive this error E: mldonkey-server: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
[04:03] <hangfire> ok, thx fyreestrtr
[04:03] <GianLuigiBuffon> how can I remove it? I tried to uninstall the package but no way
[04:03] <ithiel>    df
[04:03] <ithiel> wait, this is IRC, not a terminal
[04:03] <ithiel> dang it.
[04:04] <Lars_IN> narfmaster: how do I determine which dev is my cd-rw?
[04:04] <narfmaster> hmm, good question
[04:05] <Lars_IN> narfmaster: cdrecord -v -pad speed=24 dev=?,?,?
[04:05] <narfmaster> type "mount"
[04:06] <fyrestrtr> Lars_IN: grep cdrom /etc/fstab
[04:06] <Lars_IN> fyrestrtr: so I get /dev/hdc
[04:06] <Lars_IN> fyrestrtr: so in the device=0,0,0 format that would be?
[04:07] <fyrestrtr> don't know, man cdrecord (why, right click didn't work?)
[04:07] <GianLuigiBuffon> everytime that I use synaptics... when it finish i receive this error E: mldonkey-server: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
[04:07] <GianLuigiBuffon> how can I remove it? I tried to uninstall the package but no way
[04:07] <Lars_IN> fyrestrtr: because right click doesn't list a "write to disk" option
[04:07] <fyrestrtr> GianLuigiBuffon: what do you mean you try to use synaptics?
[04:07] <gardengnome> hi there. when i'm trying to use debarchiver, it moves my packages to the REJECT directory. the debug mode says: "Message: libxmltv-perl_0.5.44-laga-dapper1_all.deb owner () do not match xmltv_0.5.44-laga-dapper1_i386.changes owner (1000)." the owner of these files is always the same, UID1000. any clues?
[04:07] <xukun> fyrestrtr, that would mean clossing all kind of running apps
[04:07] <IRCMonkeyx> fyrestrtr: iwrote what u said , it again says "no files or directory", when i connect to internet on xp , it says "pikatel dialup ppp connection" . But it is adsl. should i use pppconfig instead of pppoeconf???
[04:07] <Kibbled_bit1> System >> Admin >> Synaptic
[04:08] <GianLuigiBuffon> fyrestrtr for example I update my system and when I finish I receive that error, or after downloading anything from synaptics i receive that error
[04:08] <fyrestrtr> GianLuigiBuffon: it doesn't happen with anything else?
[04:08] <IRCMonkeyx> cat/var/log/messages
[04:08] <GianLuigiBuffon> I cant remove completly the mldonkey - server pacage
[04:08] <GianLuigiBuffon> package
[04:09] <GianLuigiBuffon> fyrestrtr nop.... just with that package
[04:09] <GianLuigiBuffon> i can update correctly my system and all but is annoiying the same every time
[04:10] <fyrestrtr> IRCMonkeyx: cat[space] /var/log/messages
[04:10] <ithiel> hello can-zero-beans
[04:10] <IRCMonkeyx> fyrestrtr: iwrote what u said , it again says "no files or directory", when i connect to internet on xp , it says "pikatel dialup ppp connection" . But it is adsl. should i use pppconfig instead of pppoeconf???
[04:10] <fyrestrtr> GianLuigiBuffon: hrmm, you might have to speak with someone that is more familiar with apt.
[04:10] <fyrestrtr> IRCMonkeyx: you didn't write what I wrote. Read what I wrote.
[04:11] <GianLuigiBuffon> oh ok
[04:11] <GianLuigiBuffon> thanks man
[04:11] <GianLuigiBuffon> :)
[04:11] <tomohawk> Hi there, I just tried installing Ubuntu 5.04 for AMD64 onto an external USB2 hard drive, with WinXP on an internal HDD. It installed the boot manager onto the master boot partition (i think it was called). Now the system hangs when it gets to the boot manager (i get a flashing cursor about 3 lines down from the top), and if i try to boot with the USB drive unplugged I get an error saying "GRUB Loading, please wait.... Error 21". Is
[04:11] <tomohawk> anyone able to help me? I'm mostly concerned now because I dont know how to boot into XP now. Is it even possible to dual boot between the two using an external drive like that?
[04:11] <IRCMonkeyx> my friend you didnt give space, i will try again
[04:11] <ithiel> WTFBBQSPAM
[04:11] <ithiel> tomohawk, 5.04? we're on Dapper 6.06
[04:12] <ithiel> you're a year and a half behind
[04:12] <tomohawk> yeah i figured *shamed*
[04:12] <fyrestrtr> 16:58 < fyrestrtr> type what is between the > and <
[04:12] <fyrestrtr> 16:58 < fyrestrtr> >cat /var/log/messages<
[04:12] <fyrestrtr> 16:58 < IRCMonkeyx> ok let me try cat thing, i need to restart
[04:12] <tomohawk> but i have litereally 200 5.04 cds in a box here
[04:12] <tomohawk> :(
[04:12] <tomohawk> and AOL already took up all the CD space in landfill
[04:12] <ithiel> tomohawk, frankly I don't even remember enough about 5.04 to be able to properly support you
[04:12] <ithiel> crikey.
[04:13] <yango> tomohawk, and why would you want to run 5.04?
[04:13] <Kibbled_bit1> :D
[04:13] <MDCore> (cross-posting from kubuntu) having trouble resizing my xp ntfs partition from the live CD. QTParted tells me " opening /dev/hda1 as NTFS failed: Operation not supported". What do I do to resize this partition? I need to dual-boot this machine :P
[04:13] <GianLuigiBuffon> tomohawk did you check on your MB the boot of your system????
[04:13] <ithiel> yango, he's too lazy to download an ISO
[04:13] <tomohawk> Because I was bored tonight and thought "I know, I'll try installing Ubuntu, given I have so many copies of it"
[04:13] <yango> well, then use apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:13] <yango> and you'll be up and running 6.06
[04:13] <tomohawk> in english?
[04:13] <yango> will he?
[04:13] <ZhangZhong> when i try to recompile my kernel I use the  mkinitrd like this: mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15.7-ubuntu1 2.6.15.7-ubuntu1
[04:13] <ZhangZhong> but there are these information:

[04:14] <GianLuigiBuffon> tomohawk may you have a conflict with your usb driver while booting... I have so... some MB "doesn't like" a big hard disk connected into a USB while booting
[04:14] <ithiel> fyrestrtr: upgrade from 5.04? have you lost it?
[04:14] <ZhangZhong> FATAL: Module sg not found.

[04:14] <ZhangZhong> what should i do?
[04:14] <ithiel> ZhangZhong: please do not spam, post such information into paste-bin
[04:14] <fyrestrtr> ithiel: I hoping he will get a clue that even upgrades are not supported from where he is, and he needs to get dapper.

[04:14] <ithiel> fyrestrtr: me too, we don't support 5.04 anymore
[04:15] <tomohawk> So if I download the newest iso, and install that, that may be my best option?
[04:15] <GianLuigiBuffon> ZhangZhong nice Kernel Panic :S
[04:15] <ithiel> tomohawk: undubitably.
[04:15] <ithiel> indubitably.
[04:15] <tomohawk> Thank you :)
[04:15] <fyrestrtr> tomohawk: yeah, and get an internal hdd
[04:15] <tomohawk> $$$ :(
[04:15] <fyrestrtr> ZhangZhong: what are you trying to do?
[04:15] <ithiel> something IDE or SATA preferably
[04:15] <yango> tomohawk, and use your 200 CD's as freesbees
[04:15] <ithiel> tomohawk: you can buy an IDE HDD for 40 bucks online, wtf mate?
[04:16] <tomohawk> ALready got a nice sata drive in there. And next week I'll probably wipe XP off that and replace it with ubuntu anyway, once my new mac arrives
[04:16] <fyrestrtr> while you are at it, just remove Windows and have only ubuntu -- then you'll get all kinds of support. Hot chicks in bikinis will appear on your scren magically ... then this nurse will show up at your door.......
[04:16] <ithiel> tomohawk: what kind of mac?
[04:16] <ithiel> and where do you live? :)
[04:16] <tomohawk> mac mini *blush* It's mainly for media pc use (i'm a glutton for punishment)
[04:16] <tomohawk> Am on an iBook G4 now
[04:16] <ithiel> mac mini?
[04:16] <fyrestrtr> *jaw drop*
[04:16] <tomohawk> yeah
[04:16] <ithiel> why not get the imac education edition
[04:17] <ithiel> 900 dolla.
[04:17] <tomohawk> I'm australian
[04:17] <ithiel> for that matter, if you can afford mac hardware, why can't you afford an internal IDE?
[04:17] <tomohawk> I bought the core duo mini at university student price
[04:17] <ithiel> I have like 20 internal HDD's, no mac.
[04:17] <yango> oh, that explains a lot 8->
[04:17] <tomohawk> ithiel: I can't afford internal IDE because I already bought a mac :P
[04:17] <ithiel> lol.
[04:17] <fyrestrtr> you .. bought ... a .. CORE DUO .. mini?!
[04:17] <ithiel> wanna buy a HDD?
[04:17] <tomohawk> LOL
[04:17] <tredlig> i want to try out ubuntu but dont feel like moving my monitor down to my headless box :P
[04:17] <ithiel> fyrestrtr: kinda pointless eh? why not get a macbook
[04:18] <fyrestrtr> exactly.
[04:18] <tomohawk> Because they man Durons seem icy cold.
[04:18] <ithiel> fyrestrtr: or an imac.
[04:18] <tomohawk> And I already have an iBook
[04:18] <ithiel> *shrugs*
[04:18] <tomohawk> I wanted the mini for the fact that it is so small, and will fit into my Hoem theatre nicely :P
[04:18] <tomohawk> I have no need for the screen on the iMac
[04:18] <ithiel> home theater. :P
[04:18] <ithiel> I guess...
[04:19] <ithiel> I need a mac.
[04:19] <tomohawk> it sounds fancier than saying "My 5 year old CRT tv with average 5.1 surround)
[04:19] <redguy> they have minis with coreduo inside?
[04:19] <tomohawk> yeh
[04:19] <ithiel> tomohawk: if you're worried about what people think of you, particularly as it concerns your entertainment system, you have much larger problems than a lack of internal HDD's
[04:19] <fyrestrtr> bet you can cook potattos on that thing.
[04:19] <tomohawk> theres the core solo 'cheap' one and the 1.66gHz cr duo
[04:20] <tomohawk> LOL
[04:20] <tomohawk> nah I'm not overly worried about what peopel think about me, particuarly if it's a judgement on something like what tv i have
[04:20] <ithiel> fyrestrtr: no, you can't. Intel's laptop hardware is actually rather good.
[04:20] <yango> what tv do you have?
[04:20] <ithiel> netburst sucked.
[04:20] <fyrestrtr> I think its the logic behind a core duo mini that has got people worried about you tomohawk.
[04:20] <ithiel> I have a 24'' Widescreen 2048x1280 CRT hooked up to my other computer
[04:20] <tomohawk> Serisouly, what's wrong with a core duo mini?
[04:21] <fyrestrtr> ithiel: lies ..  I have a centrino thinkpad here ... I keep my coffee warm from the exhaust.
[04:21] <yango> I've got the pre-centrino Intel P4M and it slows down like hell at high environmental temperatures
[04:21] <ithiel> tomohawk: putting a 350 HP engine into a ford pinto
[04:21] <yango> and I can warm my right hand while typing
[04:21] <tomohawk> At least I didn't leave it at the 512mb spec ram. That's just stupid
[04:21] <ithiel> fyrestrtr: hahaha, my dell lappy (Celeron M), it gets warm, but not from the processor, from the gfx chip
[04:21] <fyrestrtr> tomohawk: nothing -- except I'd rather have something that I can expand if I am going to put core duo in it.
[04:22] <ithiel> tomohawk: "that's just stupid" did you just talk about putting a dual core chip into the cheapest mac in existence?
[04:22] <ithiel> didn't
[04:22] <ithiel> oy vey.
[04:22] <fyrestrtr> anyway, this is getting wayy OT.
[04:22] <tomohawk> Hold on a second, is this becoming an attack on me? LOL
[04:23] <ithiel> fyrestrtr: noone else requesting support, doesn't matter
[04:23] <fyrestrtr> tomohawk: to solve your problem (or actually, create a problem that we can remember the solution for) upgrade to dapper post haste.
[04:23] <tomohawk> Cool
[04:23] <tomohawk> :) thank you
[04:24] <tomohawk> I'm so used to using macs that I forgot that installing an OS onto an external drive isn't always foolproof safe on a pc =/
[04:24] <rixxon> on laptop with broken function keys, is it possible to change screen brightness?
[04:24] <juanan> hello
[04:24] <fyrestrtr> don't get me wrong, I enjoy working on macs. They are definitately the ultimate convergence device.
[04:24] <juanan> how can i enter on the spanish channel?
[04:24] <ithiel> #ubuntu-es
[04:24] <fyrestrtr> ...as long as the battery doesn't explode, or it starts growing stains, or you don't drop it......
[04:24] <juanan> thanks!
[04:24] <narfmaster> rixxon, plug in another keyboard (if you have an available port for it)
[04:25] <ithiel> fyrestrtr: or it overheats, or whines
[04:25] <juanan> #ubuntu-es
[04:25] <ithiel> or the screen scratches up
[04:25] <Noxman> juanan, you must put /j in front of it
[04:25] <ithiel> juanan, type /join #ubuntu-es
[04:25] <Noxman> or /join
[04:25] <juanan> ohh
[04:25] <Noxman> same thing
[04:25] <rixxon> narfmaster: good idea, but i expressed myself badly. i mean the laptop-specific FN key which pluggable keyboards don't have
[04:25] <juanan> sorry
[04:25] <fyrestrtr> ithiel: actually, the newer powerbooks don't overheat as much .. the 'classic' ones ... yeah, you can toast bread on the bottom of those bad boys.
[04:25] <ithiel> my non laptop keyboard has a function key
[04:26] <ithiel> fyrestrtr: lolz.
[04:26] <avalente> hi.. How do I get the pt_PT locales without UTF8?
[04:26] <tomohawk> Ooh yeah, the exploding apple batteries are fun
[04:26] <narfmaster> rixxon, you should check with the owner's manual on that question i think
[04:26] <ithiel> I was saying for years that PPC wasn't as fast as current i386 hardware...leave it to Apple to prove my friggin point.
[04:26] <tomohawk> My dad had one of those with his 15" powerbook a couple years back
[04:26] <fyrestrtr> ithiel: have worked with 12" and 15" powerbooks (both powerpc and intel)
[04:27] <ithiel> I've worked with desktop and server PPC
[04:27] <ithiel> not impressed.
[04:27] <ithiel> good for servers, not much else
[04:27] <ithiel> IBM didn't really care about making PPC fast for Apple
[04:27] <fyrestrtr> the grandest waste of desktop space and hardware ... that freakin' green tower they came out with.
[04:27] <tomohawk> Motorolla were worse
[04:27] <wildman> avalente: export LANGUAGE=pt_PT, same for LANG and LC_ALL as a minimum
[04:27] <ithiel> tomohawk: they didn't used to be.
[04:27] <maswan> ithiel: probably because they were neither high-volume nor high-margin
[04:28] <ithiel> their phones make me laugh, they're the windows boxen of phones, crash like crazy
[04:28] <avalente> wildman: thanks
[04:28] <wildman> avalente: then, add those to ur ~/.bashrc to make them 'permanent'
[04:28] <wildman> avalente: u might need a system restart or similar too
[04:28] <wildman> avalente: good luck
[04:28] <fyrestrtr> ithiel: curious bug with motorola phones -- their bluetooth doesn't stay on.
[04:28] <tomohawk> How far back are we talking? I do not know much about the computer industry Pre G3
[04:28] <ithiel> maswan: indeed. and who can blame IBM for ignoring apple, especially at a time when they were contracted to custom make chips that were being put into all three new generation consoles
[04:28] <tomohawk> fyrestrtr: Not all motorolla phones do that
[04:28] <ithiel> tomohawk: Motorola made the oollllldddd chips, they were their first manufacturer
[04:29] <ithiel> 68000 or w/e
[04:29] <tomohawk> yeah, the 68k, or do you mean before that?
[04:29] <tomohawk> yeh
[04:29] <ccooke> ithiel: it wasn't all that long ago...
[04:29] <ithiel> tomohawk: nah I mean 68k
[04:29] <fyrestrtr> tomohawk: thank god for that
[04:29] <tomohawk> yah
[04:29] <ithiel> ccooke: I'm 18. it's old to me.
[04:29] <ccooke> ithiel: ah, right. :-)
[04:29] <ithiel> Apple is a curse for chip manufacturers
[04:29] <tomohawk> I have the V3 Razr. Bluetooth stays on, but will only stay discoverable for 60 seconds :(
[04:30] <fyrestrtr> man ... I remember when I was 18.......
[04:30] <ithiel> watch Intel lose to AMD...wait a sec....
[04:30] <rixxon> narfmaster: apparently it works in windows to change brightness, but not ubuntu, he says
[04:30] <fyrestrtr> tomohawk: yeah sorry, that's what I mean @ discoverable.
[04:30] <IRCMonkeyx> fyrestrtr: 1-addrcong (netdv-up) eth0 link is not ready
[04:30] <tomohawk> thoguth you might... it's irritating that you can't have the option of always on
[04:30] <ccooke> ithiel: I'm looking forward to the x86 market this year. Finally, Intel are releasing stuff that's as interesting as AMD...
[04:30] <fyrestrtr> IRCMonkeyx: that's all you got? Nothing about detected new hardware, etc. etc.
[04:30] <IRCMonkeyx> fyrestrtr: 2- acpi looking for dstt not found
[04:31] <ithiel> ccooke: here's to lower prices.
[04:31] <fyrestrtr> IRCMonkeyx: pastebin please
[04:31] <ccooke> With a bit of luck, things will *continue* to be interesting
[04:31] <narfmaster> now all Intel needs are some mobos
[04:31] <ccooke> ithiel: yep. But more importantly, here's to *innovation*
[04:31] <ithiel> mind you that Core Duo's are still slower than AMD offerings though, Core 2 Duo (Merom,Conroe,Woodcrest) had better pull off a neat trick
[04:31] <IRCMonkeyx> fyrestrtr: no modules symbol , kernel module not enabled
[04:32] <ithiel> ccooke: hahaha, indeed.
[04:32] <fyrestrtr> someone that can keep up with video cards. Is a nVidia FX5500-TD256 an average, above-average or high end AGP card?
[04:32] <ithiel> fyrestrtr: by my standard, or the general publics?
[04:32] <fyrestrtr> well speak from experience.
[04:32] <narfmaster> fyrestrtr, above average (above my average anyway)
[04:32] <ithiel> my standard, I'd trash it, sell a kidney, get a new computer that doesn't have AGP, I run PCI-Express
[04:32] <IRCMonkeyx> fyrestrtr: i have no chance to copy, all these mean sth?
[04:32] <SimzI> Could anybody help me tro get my brightness function keys working?
[04:32] <ithiel> public standard, it's *ok* as long as it runs the games you want
[04:33] <tomohawk> I did wonder why apple didn't use the AMD chips at first. But I suppose that Intel had the name that the general public recognise, and have full integrated chipset options
[04:33] <fyrestrtr> only plan to do two things with it. Run WoW hopefully without the annoying ATI bugs, and XGL
[04:33] <mingo> hi
[04:33] <SimzI> Could anybody help me tro get my brightness function keys working?
[04:33] <tomohawk> OK, now I feel uberstupid. I can't work out how to download the diskimage of the ubuntu i'm supposed to install
[04:33] <ithiel> run WoW on 5500? have fun.
[04:33] <IRCMonkeyx> fyrestrtr : if not nothing to do, thanx anyways
[04:33] <fyrestrtr> tomohawk: probably because intel has a well established architecture and production facilities, and AMD has suffered in the past with production problems.
[04:34] <ithiel> fyrestrtr: too bad intel gouges their prices
[04:34] <mingo> please, somebody knows the command to set the root password ???
[04:34] <fyrestrtr> ithiel: does that mean, no it won't work -- or what?
[04:34] <fyrestrtr> !roo
[04:34] <ubotu> I know nothing about roo
[04:34] <fyrestrtr> !root
[04:34] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:34] <ithiel> fyrestrtr: it'll work...eghk.
[04:34] <mingo> ok, i 'll check
[04:34] <tomohawk> yeah, I think Intel was the logical choice. And you know, as a 19 year old who's never formally studied anything about the industry i'm qualified to make statements like that and all... =/
[04:35] <SimzI> PLEASE somebody help me to get my function brightness keys to work with ubuntu :(:(
[04:35] <ithiel> tomohawk: lolz.
[04:35] <fyrestrtr> ithiel: I was playing it fine on ATL x300 with 64 MB RAM -- with almost everything turned up, so I figured on this thing, it would be smokin'
[04:35] <Foobal> tomohawk: never mind. this is teh internets. you are qualified enough if you look around at your audience =D
[04:35] <ithiel> fyrestrtr: you are apparently graced with FPSB
[04:35] <IRCMonkeyx> i got mad here, cause of usb modem , good days to everyone.......
[04:35] <tomohawk> :D
[04:35] <fyrestrtr> ithiel: especially since the nvidia logo is right there on the settings page....
[04:35] <fyrestrtr> what is FPSB?
[04:36] <ithiel> fyrestrtr: just because they have an advertising deal, rarely means anything, I won't go into exceptions
[04:36] <tomohawk> But, onto a serious, albeit embarassing, question. How do I get the ISO to install the right ubuntu?
[04:36] <ithiel> fyrestrtr: FPSB means a high tolerance for lag, Frames-Per-Second-Blindess
[04:36] <ithiel> Blindness
[04:36] <ithiel> I get *ticked* if mine drop below 60
[04:36] <fyrestrtr> ithiel: yeah I know about that part, but still.
[04:36] <fyrestrtr> ithiel: or you mean I'm not a FPS gun-toting freak, then yeah -- you are right :)
[04:36] <fyrestrtr> my only two poisons -- WoW and x-plane.
[04:36] <slavezero> can anyone point me to a good how-to on wifi in ubuntu
[04:37] <ithiel> nothing to do with shooters, you're just blind to lag
[04:37] <ithiel> get cedega
[04:37] <fyrestrtr> and one of which requires a top notch video card.
[04:37] <mingo> thank you ubotu, i find on this page ! :)
[04:37] <fyrestrtr> ithiel: had it running before with cvs wine + patches.
[04:37] <ithiel> joy.
[04:37] <fyrestrtr> mingo: ubotu is a bot
[04:37] <mingo> oh ! lol !
[04:37] <ithiel> fyrestrtr: LOL

[04:38] <DerekRusso> Hi, could I get some help with a problem I'm having with java?  I want to access a chat room that's java based (and works on windows/mac), but crashes in linux
[04:38] <mingo> anyway, thx
[04:39] <ithiel> DerekRusso: install java.
[04:39] <DerekRusso> it is installed
[04:39] <DerekRusso> it crashes, gives me a general error
[04:39] <DerekRusso> when I try to load the chat client
[04:40] <fyrestrtr> DerekRusso: are you trying to load this in firefox?
[04:40] <DerekRusso> yes
[04:40] <DerekRusso> in firefox
[04:40] <fyrestrtr> DerekRusso: installed the plugin (not the same thing as installing java)
[04:40] <bruno__> does anyone know how to use engage
[04:41] <DerekRusso> yes, the plugin is installed
[04:41] <DerekRusso> it starts to load in the website, but then the java crashes
[04:41] <DerekRusso> it doesn't crash on other platforms, I'm wondering if there's something else I can do
[04:41] <narfmaster> DerekRusso, type "about:plugins" in firefox
[04:41] <SimzI> could somebody explain how to get keycodes using "xev" please
[04:41] <CarlFK> DerekRusso: explain "crashes"
[04:41] <DerekRusso> it gives me a general error, hold on, and I will copy and paste it

[04:43] <SimzI> sorry
[04:43] <narfmaster> yggwork, you could try #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:43] <SimzI> its just frustrating
[04:43] <yggwork> hmm
[04:43] <gnomefreak> SimzI: if someone knows they will help you
[04:44] <gnomefreak> DerekRusso: dont paste in here
[04:44] <gnomefreak> use pastebin DerekRusso
[04:44] <DerekRusso> ok
[04:44] <POVaddct> SimzI: whats the problem? start xev from a terminal, move the mouse cursor in the black square, type the key and watch the output in the terminal
[04:44] <chennaituxian> DerekRusso, always use pastebin to show us your log files and outputs
[04:45] <SimzI> But I don't understand what the keycode is, and I have to rpess two keys for the function
[04:45] <varsendaggr> DerekRusso, if everyone did what you did that would be 5334 lines or paste
[04:46] <SimzI> Do I have to hold down the key whilst pressing it POVaddct ?
[04:47] <POVaddct> SimzI: no
[04:47] <Thlayli> hey, i'm a paranoid user. i just want to confirm that the packages "login","passwd" and "ppp" have been updated in ubuntu dapper drake today
[04:47] <pupeno-> Hello.
[04:47] <pupeno-> Can anybody help me troobleshoot my X configuration. It is really really slow (I can see text forming and scrolling like in the days of BBS at 2400 bps). The config is on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17343. This is an ATI card, built in on a Thinkpad T60 (not sure of the exact model).
[04:47] <POVaddct> SimzI: the press event should be in the output
[04:48] <Thlayli> so, did you get the update message as well?
[04:48] <POVaddct> SimzI: also the release event
[04:48] <SimzI> I can get the keycode for the "Fn" button but not for the F5 and F6
[04:48] <narfmaster> Thlayli, those were security updates
[04:48] <SimzI> And they need to be held togheter to change brightness
[04:48] <Thlayli> narfmaster: i know
[04:49] <Thlayli> narfmaster: but i rather double-check if those binaries are changed
[04:49] <POVaddct> SimzI: not all keys show up as keycodes. that's notebook dependent. some keys or key combinations only produce ACPI events.
[04:49] <narfmaster> well, i got the update too
[04:49] <Thlayli> k, thanks for the information
[04:49] <SimzI> It's reall annoying me POVaddct because I need to get this working to change my screen brightness
[04:50] <DarkProphet> anyone ever made a video tutorial ?
[04:50] <mingo> can I boot a Hard Disk format in NTFS on ubuntu ?
[04:50] <POVaddct> SimzI: as i said, there is no general solution for this. each notebook manfacturer makes its own "standard".
[04:50] <Thlayli> mingo: yes you can
[04:50] <DarkProphet> you can boot, but you wont write to it
[04:50] <DarkProphet> NTFS is read only
[04:50] <mingo> no, just to get music on it
[04:51] <SimzI> POVaddct, do you know if there is anyway to change my screen brightness on Ubuntu and not hardware side
[04:51] <Thlayli> mingo: just mount it
[04:51] <Foobal> ntfstools provides writing too for ntfs
[04:51] <Thlayli> mingo: make sure you got the ntfs module loaded
[04:51] <mingo> ok, thank, i try now !
[04:51] <POVaddct> SimzI: it IS hardware dependent. there is no general solution.
[04:51] <POVaddct> SimzI: you need to know how to do that on _your_ notebook type.
[04:51] <SimzI> Damn, and if I can't get this stupid thing configured I can't change my brightness
[04:51] <POVaddct> SimzI: go google
[04:52] <tomohawk> wait a second.... why don't i just take the drive out of the USB enclosure and put it into my pc... voila instant internal drive
[04:52] <SimzI> I have done
[04:52] <POVaddct> SimzI: and don't complain about linux, it's the manufacturers fault.

[04:53] <chennaituxian> mingo, boot or mount ?
[04:53] <POVaddct> SimzI: which notebook do you have?
[04:53] <SimzI> Packard Bell E2316
[04:53] <monomaniacpat> can anyone tell me why my themes are all buggered up?
[04:53] <POVaddct> SimzI: uh, never used packard bell.
[04:54] <monomaniacpat> all my themes are using the wrong colours!
[04:54] <SimzI> Yeh I know that now POVaddct
[04:55] <SimzI> So there isn't really a solution to my problem POVaddct ?
[04:56] <Frogzoo> monomaniacpat: which themes?
[04:56] <uubuntu> hi to enable my pop3.domainname.com and smtp.domainname.com what i need to do ?
[04:56] <monomaniacpat> Frogzoo: most of them
[04:57] <uubuntu> i am using squid
[04:57] <mingo> ok, ubuntu detect it, but impossible to search in this hard disk
[04:57] <slavezero> can someone tell me how to fix this: FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.15-23-amd64-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid argument
[04:57] <monomaniacpat> Frogzoo: for example: is clearlooks not supposed to have a blue title bar?
[04:57] <uubuntu> with client MS Outlook 2003
[04:57] <mingo> i try to activate it, but it doesn't want to
[04:57] <POVaddct> SimzI: like i said, you have to google. without further knowledge if this particular hardware, i can't say anything. this web page http://lkcl.net/reports/packard.bell.e2316.html is no help for the brightness issue
[04:57] <Frogzoo> monomaniacpat: u running in 64k colors? mebbe colormap's exhausted, try running 16M if vid supports it
[04:58] <POVaddct> SimzI: you can try looking for files in /proc/acpi/video/...
[04:58] <monomaniacpat> Frogzoo: I don't think so. It started to go wrong after I changes some gtk settings in kde
[04:59] <mingo> how to mount a Hard disk please ?
[04:59] <SimzI> POVaddct, there's a blank document called brightness in/proc/acpi/video/GFX0/LCD
[04:59] <pupeno-> does anybody have an idea how can I make X not soooo slugish ?
[05:00] <dudleh> use a lighter window manager?
[05:00] <narfmaster> pupeno-, install more RAM
[05:00] <fyrestrtr> pupeno-: what kind of computer do you have?
[05:00] <narfmaster> :)
[05:00] <POVaddct> SimzI: cat /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/LCD/brightness
[05:00] <SimzI> rick@e2316:~$ cat /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/LCD/brightness
[05:00] <SimzI> levels:  80 60 0 20 40 60 80 100
[05:00] <SimzI> current: 0
[05:01] <SimzI> oops sorry for paste, forgot
[05:01] <monomaniacpat> Frogzoo: the clearlooks preview is blue, but when in use, the title bar is brown
[05:01] <mingo> can it be possible that ubuntu didn't want to lunch a Hard disk its files system is : Windows NTFS ?
[05:01] <pupeno-> to answer all in one, another windown manager is not an option, text scroll would continue to look like a 2400bps BBS and an Intel Core Duo 1.8GHz with 2GB of RAM should be enough... for any window manager.
[05:01] <SimzI> So how do I change the level from there POVaddct
[05:01] <POVaddct> SimzI: echo 20 > /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/LCD/brightness
[05:01] <Frogzoo> monomaniacpat: well reverse whatever you changed in gtk...
[05:01] <POVaddct> SimzI: echo 100 > /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/LCD/brightness
[05:01] <POVaddct> SimzI: like this
[05:01] <fyrestrtr> pupeno-: what kind of video card do you have, and what monitor?
[05:02] <SimzI> I did that but nothing happened POVaddct
[05:02] <pupeno-> fyrestrtr: It seems it is an Ati Radeon x1300, one of the monitors is a 15" built-in flat panel (thinkpad t60) and the other a Dell 2001FP.
[05:02] <POVaddct> SimzI: you did it as user or root?
[05:02] <SimzI> root
[05:03] <SimzI> root@e2316:~# echo 20 > /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/LCD/brightness
[05:03] <w1z4rd> im trying to setup a remote desktop connection script to connect to servers i have to admin... and i want to create scripts to make it easier... how do i stipulate a username and password in the command line rd? I have tried rd -u myadminaccount -p mypassword myserver.co.za , and it doesnt seem to work
[05:03] <POVaddct> SimzI: then i don't know. maybe the ACPI bios is broken, like many bioses.
[05:03] <pupeno-> fyrestrtr: this is a xinerama set up, the config file is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17343.
[05:04] <fyrestrtr> okay let me have a look
[05:04] <SimzI> gah
[05:05] <pupeno-> fyrestrtr: more info: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17347
[05:05] <fyrestrtr> pupeno-: direct rendering is working?
[05:06] <pupeno-> fyrestrtr: I don't know. I don't think so. How do I check ? (I am new to ATI).
[05:07] <fyrestrtr> pupeno-: fglrxinfo | grep direct
[05:07] <cello_rasp> hi, firefox is really slow on xubuntu with 128MB Ram. Are there any less intensive browsers ? or shoul i dump xubuntu or even get more ram?
[05:07] <fyrestrtr> cello_rasp: get more ram
[05:07] <ljl> cello_rasp: you can try Epiphany
[05:08] <narfmaster> cello_rasp, you could try Dillo
[05:08] <cello_rasp> yeah i heart a lot that linux needs ram more than windows
[05:08] <pupeno-> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[05:08] <pupeno-> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[05:08] <jrib> cello_rasp: I second dillo
[05:08] <fyrestrtr> cello_rasp: don't know where you heard that, but it definately doesn't.
[05:08] <Curtis_Hillam> hi all just woundering how to get americas army 2.5 working
[05:08] <LjL> cello_rasp: linux itself doesn't really, but X and the various GUI libraries are quite a bit RAM hungry
[05:08] <Curtis_Hillam> i installed it correctly i think
[05:08] <fyrestrtr> pupeno-: yeah, you are not using direct rendering which would be the cause of your problems.
[05:08] <pupeno-> cello_rasp: I'd say konqueror might be faster, give it a try.
[05:08] <wubrgamer> hye guys, i'm looking for a linux alternative to M$ publisher
[05:08] <pupeno-> fyrestrtr: how do I enable it ?
[05:09] <fyrestrtr> pupeno-: have you read the wiki guide?
[05:09] <fyrestrtr> !video
[05:09] <ubotu> I know nothing about video
[05:09] <fyrestrtr> !ati
[05:09] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:09] <LjL> pupeno-: surely not while he's using Xubuntu. that way he'll only gain having GTK *and* the Qt+KDE libraries loaded in memory.
[05:10] <cello_rasp> Dell do funny things with their machines. Overclock their chips to 2GHz but give only 128MB ram :P
[05:10] <Curtis_Hillam> how do you install KDE on ubuntu?
[05:10] <LjL> Curtis_Hillam: "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop"
[05:10] <Curtis_Hillam> ok thank you
[05:10] <fyrestrtr> Curtis_Hillam: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop -- or download the kubuntu cd
[05:10] <pupeno-> fyrestrtr: if I am not interested in 3d, can I get acceptable performance with free drivers ?
[05:10] <MisterN> hi
[05:11] <cello_rasp> pupeno- the nvidia binary drivers for linux work well
[05:11] <fyrestrtr> pupeno-: I would suggest you get the binary ATI drivers because suspend/resume doesn't work properly with the free ones, and if you are doing ANYTHING other than single monitor use, you will get into very choppy video problems.
[05:11] <cello_rasp> i wouldnt touch ATI
[05:11] <LjL> cello_rasp: that's definitely a stupid thing to do IMHO. RAM is more important than processor speed for most common tasks
[05:11] <pupeno-> fyrestrtr: ok. Thanks.
[05:11] <fyrestrtr> pupeno-: not fault of the free drivers, ATI is very tight lipped about their hardware. I have the same problem as you, I am on a T43 with ATI x300
[05:11] <LjL> cello_rasp: the good thing is that RAM is cheap, at least if your computer uses the modern kind of RAM chips.
[05:12] <pupeno-> it is impossible these days to say ati or nvidia without someone jumping with a useless comment how the other is better. I didn't have a choice guys, my boss bought this notebook.
[05:12] <Ropechoborra> I want to install Amarok, but in the page its only aviable for Kubuntu... i got genome.. it still works??
[05:12] <fyrestrtr> pupeno-: plus the binary drivers from ati give you a nice control panel.
[05:12] <fyrestrtr> :D
[05:12] <pupeno-> fyrestrtr: yes, I understand. I am well aware of the situation.
[05:12] <LjL> Ropechoborra: yes.
[05:12] <narfmaster> Ropechoborra, it should work fine
[05:12] <Frogzoo> pupeno-: the ati 3d drivers are lame
[05:12] <fyrestrtr> Ropechoborra: sure, 'sudo apt-get instakk amarok'
[05:12] <jrib> Ropechoborra: yes, still works
[05:12] <Ropechoborra> Ty
[05:12] <root__> can i write to ntfs disks with linux?
[05:13] <Frogzoo> !captive
[05:13] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[05:13] <rsk> jurgen yes
[05:13] <LjL> or "sudo aptitude install amarok" if you by any chance decide to remove it later, and don't want the KDE libraries hanging around anymore
[05:13] <pupeno-> fyrestrtr: I have done what's described in that guide.
[05:13] <Barkley> root__ not by default. there are some experimental drivers out there
[05:13] <fyrestrtr> jurgen: not reliably. I don't recommend you do.
[05:13] <jurgen> kk..
[05:13] <cello_rasp> LjL: yeah.. sort of cheap. i can grab 512Mb of PC2100 for $20. And I just got 256Mb of PC100 for $3, for my friends machine. But that doesn't seemto have made a difference to his windows XP installation. Which is why it seems that for windows, CPU is more important.
[05:13] <tomohawk> well now i just feel even more stupid. I just took apart my external drive enclosure, opened up my pc, tried to put the drive in a 3.5" bay
[05:13] <benkong2> what would cause my number pad on my keyboard not to work? dapper 6.06 LTS
[05:13] <fyrestrtr> pupeno-: then something is not right, because you should *not* be getting the MESA drivers.
[05:13] <tomohawk> And realised It's a 2.5" laptop drive :(
[05:13] <pupeno-> fyrestrtr: right.
[05:13] <Foobal> ubotu is wrong there. it is not unsafe to use that stuff for writing. it refuses to work if something is unsafe for data and just ignores the dangerous operations..
[05:13] <pupeno-> fyrestrtr: I'll do it again just in case.
[05:14] <fyrestrtr> pupeno-: I can paste my xorg.conf file if you want.
[05:14] <LjL> cello_rasp: it's more like RAM is a bit less important. there still is a point where too little RAM starts resulting in an incredibly slow system
[05:14] <fyrestrtr> I have ATI direct rendering working.
[05:14] <pupeno-> fyrestrtr: ok, that might be usefull.
[05:14] <narfmaster> tomohawk, at least it isn't too big
[05:14] <LjL> cello_rasp: in my experience, with Ubuntu that point is at around less than 170-180 megs of RAM
[05:14] <tomohawk> true, but either way, i can't put it in there tonight
[05:14] <narfmaster> i have a 3.5" drive in my 5" bay right now
[05:14] <Barkley> disk strategy question.  i have a cargo drive that gets mounted in fstab to /media/sdb5   i want to share the entire disk through samba.  what do most people do?  create a symlink in export for the device than share that?
[05:14] <tomohawk> secondly, the IDE cable wouldn't fit it anyway
[05:15] <tomohawk> i dont have a bracket to put it into though
[05:15] <LjL> cello_rasp: having 256 megs instead of 128 megs will make quite a big difference with ubuntu
[05:15] <jurgen> what is utf8?
[05:15] <pupeno-> jurgen: an encoding for Unicode.
[05:15] <tomohawk> character set
[05:15] <jurgen> kk..how can i change?
[05:15] <pupeno-> tomohawk: no, it is an encoding, Unicode is the character set.
[05:15] <tomohawk> ahhh kk
[05:15] <tomohawk> ty
[05:16] <Ch1p_L> eyyy got a problem when installing ubuntu dapper drake - got the message: /bin/sh: cant access tty; job control truned off
[05:16] <wubrgamer> hye guys, i'm looking for a linux alternative to M$ publisher
[05:16] <cello_rasp> LJL: thanks, now i know how much to get :) i'm trying to turn my dad away from XP. so i'm tweaking xubuntu for when he gets back from business
[05:16] <pupeno-> wubrgamer: I think you might have better luck if you describe what you want without using other products, some of us don't know what that is.
[05:16] <LjL> wubrgamer: not much software of that kind around. you can try Scribus, but it's Qt rather than GTK, and its interface is a little... awkward
[05:17] <Gasten> Hi! Im tring to download Wine, and on thier homepage they tell me to "System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager" and click "add", but it seems like it is another version or something. What should I click on to make a costum download (is that what you call it?)? // First time linuxer.
[05:17] <mc___> !wine
[05:17] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[05:17] <LjL> wubrgamer: or you could use a word processor. KWord in particular is very layout-oriented (but, again, it's a KDE program, so you might prefer to avoid it), while OOo Writer and AbiWord are quite a bit more text-oriented
[05:17] <Agang> hello
[05:17] <fyrestrtr> pupeno-: 17353 is the pastebin number
[05:18] <pupeno-> fyrestrtr: aticonfig was not very useful: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17352
[05:18] <cello_rasp> i really should put some of these custom xubuntu launchers I've made up on the forums. Spend yesterday making disk mounting utilities, including floppy :)
[05:18] <LjL> cello_rasp: with 256 megs, you'll probably be able to run Ubuntu (rather than Xubuntu) nicely enough. with 512, you'll be absolutely fine
[05:18] <pupeno-> fyrestrtr: I'll check.
[05:18] <Agang> how do i install center on ubuntu server?
[05:18] <cello_rasp> LjL: yeah all this xubuntu was a bit wasted.. oh well!
[05:18] <joeljkp> i'm trying to set up access to an ImageRunner 5000i printer using a given IP address; what options do i choose in 'new printer'?
[05:19] <tredlig> i wish there was a way to install totally headless
[05:19] <pupeno-> fyrestrtr: you have some modules that I don't, i'll add them and try.
[05:19] <fyrestrtr> Agang: 'center' ?
[05:19] <tredlig> like a boot cd with vnc
[05:19] <Ch1p_L> eyyy got a problem when installing ubuntu dapper drake - got the message: /bin/sh: cant access tty; job control truned off_ any ideas?
[05:19] <tredlig> that would be hot
[05:19] <cello_rasp> tredlig: there is, look for automatic login on debian or ubuntu.
[05:19] <Gasten> thank you.
[05:19] <jurgen> where can i change the utf8?
[05:19] <Gasten> I guess.
[05:20] <fyrestrtr> tredlig: you could always netboot the machine with a chroot running ssh server, then just login.
[05:20] <tredlig> ermmm
[05:20] <cello_rasp> tredlig: its basically a c program that launches the user account. the user account launches a vnc server
[05:20] <tredlig> i'm talking about a computer i have with xp on it now
[05:20] <cello_rasp> tredlig: sorry i misread your question
[05:21] <tredlig> i want to uninstall xp
[05:21] <tredlig> and install ubuntu
[05:21] <pupeno-> brb
[05:21] <tomohawk> wait, if i was having problems with GRUB being installed in the master boot record before, i probably would want the alternate install version so i can put it some place else, right?
[05:21] <pupeno-> jurgen: you don't do that, you change it in an application ro something like that, otherwise your question doesn't make much sense for us.
[05:21] <jurgen> pupeno-:  it's in xchat
[05:22] <fyrestrtr> Processor: 100% Use Networking: 98% Use ... now that's what I call efficient use of resources :P
[05:23] <narfmaster> why change away from utf8?
[05:23] <jurgen> have no idea...my friends at irc whines over something..
[05:23] <thansen> anyone created a deb for this http://www.gibix.net/projects/nspluginwrapper/ yet?
[05:23] <wubrgamer> looking for a good program for desktop publishing
[05:23] <jurgen> some bad signs.
[05:23] <fyrestrtr> jurgen: tell him to stop using mirc.
[05:23] <jurgen> hehe..n1:)
[05:23] <jurgen> but where can i change?
[05:24] <Foobal> thansen: if you're lazy, it's bundled with Opera linux versions
[05:24] <thansen> Foobal: have you tried to alien their rpm on the website
[05:24] <wubrgamer> well
[05:24] <fyrestrtr> wubrgamer: sudo apt-get install scribus scribus-template
[05:24] <wubrgamer> later
[05:25] <Foobal> thansen: umm, I think they provided .deb actually
[05:25] <Crescendo> My machine has two sound cards, and is posting audio through the wrong one.  How would I go about switching them?
[05:25] <jurgen> fyrestrtr: ?
[05:25] <Foobal> at least when I installed it to test it out I saw nspluginwrapper installed
[05:25] <Sub> Crescendo, system/preferences/sound and then pick "default sound card" at the bottom
[05:26] <Crescendo> Hrm, one is showint up as SB Live [Unknown]  - does this mean that the drivers aren't installed properly?
[05:27] <thansen> Foobal: I am only seeing the source and an rpm...but I'll keep digging
[05:27] <task0> hi all
[05:27] <jurgen> can someone help me with some things pls pm me..neeed help!
[05:27] <task0> i'm having problems with nvidia dirvers

[05:29] <task0> i'm having problems with nvidia dirvers, how do i install them?!
[05:29] <pupeno> !nvidia
[05:29] <narfmaster> ajay_, qemu -hda c.img -cdrom linux.iso -boot d -m 128
[05:29] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:29] <fyrestrtr> pupeno: hrmm -- which ATI drivers have you got installed?
[05:29] <pupeno> fglrx
[05:30] <fyrestrtr> meant to ask the binary ati ones or the ones from apt-get?
[05:30] <pupeno> fyrestrtr: sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
[05:30] <cmkpl> I have a question: Can I extract a Ubuntu CD to treat it as a mirror for mini.iso to download files?
[05:30] <task0> pupeno, tnkz :)
[05:30] <pupeno> task0: you are welocme.
[05:30] <fyrestrtr> brb
[05:30] <ajay_> narfmaster, that is from cdrom?
[05:30] <Luke> is there a Ubuntu specific LILO guide anywhere on the net? also does Ubuntu keep LILO updated with the current kernel like GRUB?
[05:31] <narfmaster> ajay_, that line assumes you want to install onto c.img
[05:31] <londondave> If Toma & dli are about I'd like to thank them for getting the cursed sagem fast 800 to work under linux
[05:31] <narfmaster> from linux.iso that is
[05:31] <jurgen> pupeno:  u know where i can change it in xchat?
[05:31] <pupeno> jurgen: mmh, not really because I don't use xchat, sorry.
[05:31] <ajay_> ok narfmaster
[05:31] <krang> I have 6 client machines and an NIS server for logins. What's the best way to count how many logins have occurred? I can't just use /etc/profile or xsession, because I want to track logins centrally.
[05:32] <jurgen> kk..
[05:32] <vaka> how can i reload the fonts in ~/.font?
[05:33] <skybox> wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,missing codepage or other error
[05:33] <skybox> anyone know what that means? I just bought a new dual layer burner, and I tried to mount the empty media
[05:34] <narfmaster> need to burn it first :)
[05:34] <cougem> lol
[05:34] <londondave> do computers move that fast whats a dual layer burner?

[05:42] <AltF4> question
[05:42] <rixxon> can you change brightness, like software-wise?
[05:42] <AltF4> question
[05:42] <Luke> is there a Ubuntu specific LILO guide anywhere on the net? also does Ubuntu keep LILO updated with the current kernel like GRUB?
[05:42] <AltF4> how do I install things in ubuntu
[05:43] <Sub> AltF4, ask away.
[05:43] <Frogzoo> AltF4: dude - you're out of line - if you don't have an ubuntu related support question, please move along
[05:43] <rixxon> AltF4: use synaptic
[05:43] <Sub> AltF4, system-admin-synaptic package manager.
[05:43] <AltF4> where is that
[05:43] <Bacta> can i wash my wanky in ur sinky?
[05:43] <SMG|CH_> :o
[05:43] <rixxon> AltF4: or Application/Add / Remove
[05:43] <AltF4> OHHH
[05:43] <AltF4> thanks
[05:43] <rixxon> AltF4: that's the most simple way anyway
[05:44] <rixxon> doesn't list all programs though
[05:44] <Sub> AltF4, i jus told you, goto system then admin then synaptic
[05:44] <AltF4> I KNOW
 where is that
[05:44] <SMG|CH_> if I take the hard drives out of an ubuntu system and slap them into another different system and just turn it on ... are there any negative things that could happen? I did it and it worked fine, just had to reconfigure nic and few X settings, but wanna make sure im not gonna blow somethin up lol
[05:44] <Sub> what a nub....
[05:45] <Sub> SMG|CH_, it should be okay.
[05:45] <Frogzoo> Sub: it's the centre - as in the 'nub' of the issue
[05:45] <Sub> SMG|CH_, hardware might act a bit funny
[05:45] <Sub> like if it's  set up for NVidia and you got an ATI in there itll throw a wobbly probs
[05:45] <pupeno> fyrestrtr: no luck :( and now the cursor on the second monitor is a big blue square.
[05:45] <SMG|CH_> actually
[05:46] <SMG|CH_> its the same exact card
[05:46] <SMG|CH_> u see what happened is my ubuntu box blew up
[05:46] <SMG|CH_> so i took the gfx card out of it and stuck it in another older box (p3-866->500celeron) and put the HDs in it as well and then booted it
[05:46] <ProN00b> will ubuntu use a different color with the next release ?
[05:46] <SMG|CH_> lol?
[05:46] <ProN00b> i mean nazi brown isn't really what everyone likes
[05:46] <rsk> ProN00b maybe
[05:47] <richee> hi
[05:47] <pupeno> shouldn't there be a linux module for dri ?
[05:47] <Sub> ProN00b, it was worse in breezy :P
[05:47] <Frogzoo> ProN00b: actually, it's a good point - a choice of themes on install would be nice
[05:47] <Sub> at least now it's got some orange highlights.
[05:48] <Sub> Frogzoo, itz different though.
[05:48] <Sub> and earthy.
[05:48] <Sub> im not saying i like it :P - im jus saying i can see why they use it.
[05:48] <dimitri2401>  /connect irc.rezosup.net
[05:48] <Frogzoo> Sub: just considering, you had a choice of say a half dozen stock themes
[05:49] <maagimies> The new Ubuntu theme is a looking theme, unlike the breezy one :p
[05:49] <maagimies> *good
[05:49] <Sub> Frogzoo, but you do, there jus not stuck in your face, if you hate it, your likely to look around and find the theme options.
[05:49] <AltF4> There is a new theme for ubuntu
[05:49] <AltF4> ????
[05:49] <AltF4> where is that?
[05:49] <ProN00b> Frogzoo, it doesn't even have to be full themes, just the same thing as it is now with brown replaced with other colors (maybe a bit brighter)
[05:49] <maagimies> AltF4, the dapper one
[05:49] <AltF4> okay
[05:49] <ProN00b> Sub, the other themes are not really consistent
[05:50] <jurgen> !amsn
[05:50] <coventry> The ubuntu installer has hung during the "select a disk" section.  It appears to be having trouble querying the available disks, as the installer screen is not providing any options, just sitting there with an "I'm waiting" cursor.  Any suggestions for what I could do to try to move forward?
[05:50] <ubotu> I know nothing about amsn
[05:50] <maagimies> ProN00b, ?
[05:50] <jurgen> !msn
[05:50] <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.
[05:51] <Frogzoo> Sub: yes indeed, but it's the first theme that noobs see, & brown is a bit off putting
[05:51] <AltF4> Does anyone know any good IRC Clients for Ubuntu Linux
[05:51] <KenSentMe> AltF4: Xchat, irssi
[05:51] <Sub> AltF4, xchat
[05:51] <Sub> or irrsi.
[05:51] <Sub> lol ken beat me to it :P
[05:52] <AltF4> cool thanks
[05:52] <ProN00b> there is only grey, blue (creamy blue like (that theme has shitty folder icon)) and brown
[05:52] <maagimies> ProN00b, http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=27141 and http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=38964
[05:52] <coventry> Is there a better place where I could ask about installation issues?
[05:52] <juanca7777_> hello everyone
[05:52] <maagimies> ProN00b, get those and you'll get a sexy dark desktop ;p
[05:53] <bignose__> hiya.
[05:53] <juanca7777_> i was browsing the ubuntu site trying to find a place where all the updated packages are listed and the reason why they are updated, any idea where this could be?
[05:53] <AltF4> ???
[05:53] <ProN00b> lol, maagimies, completely black
[05:54] <bignose__> can anyone recommend a sata-2 raid5 controller that works well in linux ?
[05:54] <maagimies> ProN00b, I like dark desktops, it's easier on my eyes, but you really have to hunt down the good themes
[05:55] <AltF4> QUESTION: On my other computer, I have running a live CD and it won't recognize my Ethranet Card. Why
[05:55] <AltF4> Sorry bad grammer
[05:56] <AltF4> I am running a Live CD
[05:56] <Crescendo> Bad spelling was the only problem.
[05:56] <SMG|CH_> AltF4 does it show up with lspci?
[05:56] <AltF4> it doesn't show up at all
[05:57] <SMG|CH_> what have you tried to look for it? and what model is it anyway
[05:57] <Lukian> I have "login" in my ubuntu updates
[05:57] <SMG|CH_> I guess leaving the channel might fix it lol
[05:57] <Lukian> Clicking on it causes X to crash and restart
[05:58] <nicktk1> still tryin to install my wc
[05:58] <hcjc92> would telnetd be a telenet daemon i assume
[05:59] <Frogzoo> hcjc92: yup
[05:59] <void^> Lukian: using nvidia's graphics driver?
[05:59] <hcjc92> how would i run it?
[06:00] <hcjc92> i would think that telnetd would be the thing in bash, but it isn't
[06:00] <billybennett> Can someone help me figure out why my laptop doesnt shutdown all the way?  It will just sit at a blackscreen for hours... ???
[06:01] <Frogzoo> hcjc92: telnetd is the server end - & it's a bad idea to run it on net connected machines, use sshd instead
[06:01] <dmesg> hi
[06:01] <Lukian> void^: yes
[06:01] <Ropechoborra> how to convert .wav in some compatible format?
[06:02] <wastrel> hi
[06:02] <void^> Lukian: well, look at https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/50245
[06:02] <Bazzi> Ropechoborra: wav is like the most compatible ;)
[06:02] <maagimies> Ropechoborra, google for audacity, it's a general audio editor, but it's easy with it to save to ogg for example :)
[06:03] <Ropechoborra> Bazzi .wav is compatible??
[06:03] <maagimies> Bazzi, sure, but music collection would take quite alot more space in wav format :)
[06:03] <billybennett> Can anyone here help me troubleshoot a shutdown problem?!
[06:03] <maagimies> *my
[06:03] <erUSUL> Ropechoborra: sound-converter
[06:03] <Ropechoborra> Ty
[06:03] <Bazzi> Ropechoborra: yeah because it's raw :P
[06:03] <Trae> yeah! My Ubuntu 6.06 cd's got here
[06:03] <Trae> I've already given away 4
[06:03] <Bazzi> I'd convert it into flac for personal use and mp3 for mp3 player use
[06:03] <wastrel> ubunto
[06:04] <Trae> oops, I'm not on #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:04] <jokersmild> Is there anybody in here that is in Los Angeles and would like to have a nice lunch and fix my screen resolution...Assume that I have read every manual and every forum that concerns this problem but have not been able to solve it myself.
[06:04] <nicktk1> im reading on how to install my wirless card and it is saying "make deb" what do they mean
[06:04] <Lukian> void^: Does that help me?
[06:05] <Lukian> what can I do to prevent it from happening / removing the update from the list?
[06:05] <fractalworld> Anyone here know much about sysvinit?
[06:05] <hcjc92> frogzoo, how do i get sshd, not found if i do apt-get install sshd
[06:05] <loststar4545> how do i take a screenshot
[06:05] <wastrel> hcjc92:  openssh-server is the package name
[06:05] <void^> Lukian: not really, at least we can assume it's a problem related to nvidia's driver. you can update with apt-get, synaptic, or using nv/vesa drivers
[06:05] <wastrel> hcjc92:  apt-cache search lets you search in the package database
[06:06] <cntb> ubotu is a wonder
[06:06] <cntb> !ubotu
[06:06] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[06:06] <fractalworld> I have changed sysvinit versions, but now I get complaints during booting that /lib/init/mount-functions.sh and /lib/init/vars.sh are missing.
[06:07] <fractalworld> I have run "apt-get install sysvinit initscripts --reinstall" and it seems like all went well.
[06:07] <nicktk1> is it possable to copy the files that exsist for windows into linux to start my wifi connection
[06:08] <POVaddct> hcjc92: apt-get install openssh-server
[06:08] <nicktk1> no one?
[06:08] <fractalworld> nicktk1 No.
[06:08] <cntb> !howto
[06:08] <ubotu> I know nothing about howto
[06:08] <KenSentMe> nicktk1: linux wifi works different than windows wifi
[06:09] <fractalworld> nicktk1 What is your wifi card?
[06:09] <nicktk1> a wireless linksys g adapter
[06:10] <fractalworld> nicktk1 Model number?
[06:10] <hcjc92> '
[06:10] <nicktk1> wusb54g.v4
[06:11] <cntb> !nfs
[06:11] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NFSClientHowTo and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NFSServerHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[06:11] <nicktk1> if u find anything pm me i gotta go
[06:11] <hcjc92> will openssh-server be setup to work as is, or do i need to edit a config?
[06:12] <fractalworld> nicktk1 Do you know how to use Google?  http://prism54.org/pipermail/prism54-devel/2004-August/001812.html
[06:12] <nicktk1> ok tell me i have thease chats logged
[06:12] <nicktk1> tryed it
[06:12] <nicktk1> google
[06:12] <nicktk1> that is...nothin
[06:12] <KenSentMe> hcjc92: mostly you don't need to do anything after installing openssh-server
[06:12] <POVaddct> hcjc92: it will setup itself, at least it will create the host keys and start the daemon
[06:13] <fractalworld> nicktk1 Read that web page.  You need NdisWrapper.
[06:13] <krang> how do you read memos when you get one on this server?
[06:13] <cntb> ubuntu is unique iinthat sudo uses common user's password , while root is disabled on desktops , right ?
[06:13] <zybrid> xgl
[06:14] <void^> wusb54gv4 uses a ralink 2570 chipset.. i'd use ndiswrapper anyway, the native ralink driver has been unreliable in my experience, at least for usb devices
[06:15] <ompaul> cntb, unique that it is the default setting - given that a few distros are downstream I doubt it :)
[06:15] <fractalworld> nicktk1 http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/
[06:15] <wastrel> cntb:  i don't think that's particularly unique, but it is i suppose noteworthy
[06:16] <wastrel> cntb:  sudo always uses the user password
[06:16] <reb> anyone know some good c# resources other than msdn
[06:16] <fractalworld> nicktk1 http://www.networkworld.com/columnists/2005/100305internet.html
[06:16] <ompaul> reb, why not look at mono, that other particular product is not supported natively under Ubuntu
[06:17] <La_PaRCa> is there a way to have nautilus listen to events on /mnt so that the drives mounted there are shown on the desktop?
[06:17] <coz_> power management is set to sleep "Never" yet monito sleeps after about 15 minutes... any suggestions?
[06:18] <jrattner1> coz_, its "blanks" after 15 minutes
[06:18] <Jack_Sparrow> La_PaRCa: Do you want them to be onscreen with every boot?
[06:18] <coz_> jrattner1, yes it does!
[06:18] <reb> ompaul: im using mono :), i was looking for some references tutorials and whatnot, monkeyguide isnt too great
[06:18] <OMGLAZERS> Has anyone here ever installed Ubuntu on a Macintosh laptop?
[06:18] <jrattner1> coz_, it doesnt sleep, it blanks (theres an option under power management regarding it)
[06:18] <coz_> jrattner1, let me look
[06:18] <ompaul> reb, apt-cache search mono | grep doc :-) that is as good as I can do
[06:19] <reb> ompaul: got that too, but thanks anyway :)
[06:19] <coz_> jrattner1, no thoses settings are correct "do nothing" is set for both
[06:19] <sorush20> guys I keep getting this make error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17356
[06:19] <ompaul> reb, methinks you should be in #mono
[06:19] <ompaul> reb, they might just know more
[06:19] <jrattner1> coz_, try looking under screen saver settings...i forget where it is
[06:20] <publicdustpuppy> i can't get ubuntu dapper to work in vmware...
[06:20] <reb> ompaul: thats a good idea
[06:20] <La_PaRCa> Jack_Sparrow, um, basically that they come on screen when they automount
[06:20] <coz_> jr hold on
[06:20] <publicdustpuppy> can anyone help?
[06:20] <Jack_Sparrow> La_PaRCa: USe this script...  http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounter   then restart
[06:20] <wastrel> sorush20:  install   libwrapguile-dev
[06:21] <Jack_Sparrow> La_PaRCa: that is for ntfs, and fat32 partitions
[06:21] <coz_> jrattner1, that may have done it I will check back in if it doesn't thanks guy!
[06:22] <Jack_Sparrow> La_PaRCa: You can also go to term and type gconf -editor    browse to /apps/nautilus/desktop and put a check next to volums_visable
[06:23] <La_PaRCa> Jack_Sparrow, not what I was looking for. I was automounting some stuff to /mnt instead of /media and I wanted to know if there was a way for nautilus to show drives mounted to /mnt in the desktop when they become mounted
[06:23] <FunnyLookinHat> !opera

[06:24] <FunnyLookinHat> For some reason opera isn't showing up in my synaptic/ add programs thingies
[06:24] <pupeno> What's the name of the free ATI drivers ? to use them instead of the proprietary ones ?
[06:24] <rsk> ati
[06:24] <nofx_br> hey guys.. i'm want XGL!! huauha..... the stuff on the repository is up to date, cool ?  or its better to compile everything
[06:24] <void^> radeon
[06:24] <nofx_br> i'm on dapper
[06:24] <fyrestrtr> !ati > pupeno
[06:24] <pupeno> mmhh. I think that I get an error if I use ati.
[06:24] <OMGLAZERS> Has anyone here ever installed Ubuntu on a Macintosh laptop?
[06:25] <phibxr> is there any application in the repositories that is able to refresh a given HTML-page at intervals and notify if it changes?
[06:25] <jrattner1> phibxr, you could make a pretty simple perl script to do that
[06:26] <frogzoo> phibxr: wget - not sure how to manage the notify part though
[06:26] <Luke> how can I add a shell script to my gnome startup session (i know where the menu is but do i need to do "exec script.sh" or something)?
[06:26] <technel> What program do you guys recommend for tagging in Ubuntu that has support for MusicBrainz or Amazon (freedb isn't looking too good at this point; CDDB has a weird license)?
[06:26] <phibxr> frogzoo, wget could do it. i'll look into it. thanks.
[06:26] <Luke> technel: cowbell
[06:26] <frogzoo> Luke: ~/.gnomerc
[06:26] <Luke> frogzoo: you dont suggest just adding it to the session menu?
[06:26] <sonics> is the only msn client with webcam support amsn?
[06:27] <technel> Luke, I actually downloaded cowbell earlier today. I like it except for the fact that after a album is tagged I can have the files renamed but not moved to another directory
[06:27] <JoaoJoao> sonics: There's also Mercury
[06:27] <sonics> ok
[06:27] <frogzoo> Luke: either/or
[06:27] <Luke> technel: sorry dont know then
[06:27] <sonics> gaim doesnt have any right?
[06:27] <Luke> frogzoo: i'd like to add it to the GUI menu
[06:27] <Luke> frogzoo: do you know how to do that
[06:27] <Luke> brayner: quit pinging me
[06:27] <technel> Luke, You can put "Track - Title" but not "/media/hdb/music/Artist/Album (Year)/Track - Title" -- that would be ideal. How do you use it? Do you have a large music collection?
[06:28] <frogzoo> Luke: accessories -> al a carte
[06:28] <Luke> technel: yea but i do the directory stuff by hand
[06:28] <Luke> technel: i did it a while ago when i had only a few mp3s so i have just kept it up to date since
[06:28] <Luke> frogzoo: accessories?
[06:28] <technel> Luke, Ah, I see. I suppose I could do that too, I have to start over after a hard drive crash anyway (4000 songs, ouch)
[06:28] <askjeeves> got a small problem
[06:28] <Luke> frogzoo: i dont want to add it to the menu... i want to use gnome-session-manager to start my shell script
[06:29] <Luke> technel: i'm sure there are other programs out there to do what you want
[06:29] <JoaoJoao> brayner: Pong
[06:30] <askjeeves> I am trying to install ubuntu to my XP comp..I made the second partition but still it will not go through any one out there with fool proof link to this tut?
[06:30] <rpedro> technel: have you tried picard?
[06:30] <Luke> brayner: are you pinging the whole channel?
[06:30] <nofx_br> anyone on xgl ?? is this a good walktrought? http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?id=916
[06:30] <Luke> hahha
[06:30] <pupeno> Ok, it seems the free ones doesn't work at all, the packaged ones are dead-slow (even for scrolling text) and the ati.com's one, althought they have 2d acceleration, 3d acceleration doesn't work (unable to load dri) and the cursor in the second display is a big blue square... I am starting to see why people hate ATI.
[06:30] <cntb> help get xvid decoder pls !
[06:30] <nct> Hi, I've a strange bug with oss in ubuntu (updated from debian some times ago). /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1 both point to themselves. It looks like udevplug does something strange. Does anyone have experienced the same problem ?
[06:30] <JoaoJoao> ATI linux drivers suck
[06:30] <Administrator__> nofx_br, I would recomend using the ubuntu XGL guide on wiki.ubuntu.com
[06:30] <Administrator__> JoaoJoao, this is correct
[06:31] <nofx_br> Administrator__:  that what i was looing for.. tnx
[06:31] <OMGLAZERS> Has anyone here ever installed Ubuntu on a Macintosh laptop?
[06:31] <technel> rpedro, I have, on Windows. I read the instructions to install on Ubuntu but there were a ton of dependencies which also had dependencies which apparently had one or more dependencies not in repo that I would have to compile -- no thanks!
[06:31] <rpedro> technel: it works fine for me
[06:31] <sponix> !wine
[06:31] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:31] <rpedro> technel: maybe some repository you configured has conflicting packages
[06:31] <pupeno> does anybody have any piece of advise to get is as usable as an old trident 2MB card ?
[06:32] <emhadee> hi
[06:32] <technel> rpedro, Eh, I suppose that is possible. It gives an error about not having some python package and it says it won't install it for me. When I add that package to my apt-get install line it says that has 3 or 4 dependencies, each of which apparently have dependencies as well (so I gave up)
[06:32] <idefix> are websites made with windows or linux exactly the same? can two different html's/php's/other formats have the same appearance in an explorer?
[06:32] <nofx_br> pupeno: i got one of those in dual monitor once... but only 800x600 is really crap
[06:33] <rpedro> technel: strange...
[06:33] <rpedro> technel: have you tried with synaptic ?
[06:33] <Stork> hi, i set in my shortcut-keys for a key to open a music player, how can i change which music player it is?
[06:33] <emhadee> I installed Ubuntu-server on a pentium-III, the installation went okay, but now it will not boot from the HD, it says "savedefault" and then "boot" and starts over again in an infinite loop
[06:33] <nofx_br> idefix: should be dude... not for win or linux.... but for firefox(mozilla) and ie
[06:33] <technel> rpedro, I added the repo, refreshed the list, and synaptic said there was no "picard"
[06:34] <rpedro> technel: one sec...
[06:34] <Jack_Sparrow> pupeno: To get more use out of a 2 meg trident video card ... Open door put edge of card under door and tap until it holds the door open.
[06:35] <Stork> hi, i set in my shortcut-keys for a key to open a music player, how can i change which music player it is?
[06:35] <rpedro> technel: you have universe and multiverse enabled?
[06:35] <kaot> lol Jack_Sparrow
[06:35] <Jack_Sparrow> pupeno: On a more serious note... Is that isa video card or pci
[06:35] <emhadee> I suspect it has something to do with not having the right boot partition; does anybody know how to change the boot partition on ubuntu?
[06:35] <technel> rpedro, I uncommented all of the lines in sources.list, yeah
[06:35] <pupeno> Jack_Sparrow: you totally missed the point... I am trying to make an ATI Radeon X1300 work.
[06:35] <Paladine> well that was fun
[06:35] <rpedro> technel: add this line to your sources.list -->  deb http://users.musicbrainz.org/~luks/ubuntu dapper dev
[06:35] <Paladine> ubu auto update just crashed xorg
[06:36] <Paladine> crashed it good too
[06:36] <technel> rpedro, Oh, I had put "main"
[06:36] <maagimies> Heh, just yesterday I deleted my 15 gb of music free willingly :D
[06:36] <La_PaRCa> Hey, I am having some trouble with the skype beta. Basically, I cannot see my online contacs. Everyone looks offline to me.
[06:36] <Paladine> sent a bunch of crap to the video device
[06:36] <rpedro> technel: keep them both
[06:36] <Jack_Sparrow> pupeno: You will probably have the same amount of luck with that card.
[06:36] <maagimies> hmm, typed in the wrong channel...
[06:36] <Jack_Sparrow> pupeno: You read through the docs here on ati correct
[06:37] <Paladine> anyone else had any problems like that, a friend of mine did the update a few minutes before me and the same happened to him too
[06:37] <pupeno> Jack_Sparrow: I've read the ones on the ubuntu wiki.
[06:37] <nct> Well, I think I'll fill a bug report
[06:37] <nct> have a nie day
[06:37] <fractalworld> Asking again:  Anyone here know how to fix sysvinit problems?
[06:37] <rpedro> technel: if after this you still have problems, join #musicbrainz , maybe someone can help you there
[06:37] <kaot> fractalworld: can you elaborate?
[06:37] <harisund> fractalworld what kind of problems? State it and probably someone might be able to help
[06:37] <Jack_Sparrow> pupeno: What is the current problem, just waking up here and I use nvidia myself
[06:38] <technel> rpedro, Added those lines, did an apt-get update, it still says picard: Depends: python-tunepimp (>= 0.5.1) but it is not going to be installed
[06:38] <Ratman> hello
[06:38] <Ratman> Venezuela
[06:38] <hcjc92> how cna i pipe "ps -aux" to a file
[06:38] <jonah1980> hi i've had a disaster, hope someone can help me. i just bought a new computer and i've put some bits from my old machine into new one. but now when i turn old one on it just beeps every couple of seconds, like an alarm with black screen, but it's got memory, a cd drive etc - i don't know what's gone wrong
[06:38] <Ratman> Venezuela
[06:38] <jonah1980> can anyone please help me out?
[06:38] <Ratman> Venezuela
[06:38] <harisund> hcjc92 "ps aux >> fileName"
[06:38] <jonah1980> i'm talking on new system now which works sweet but my girlfriend needs some stuff from old one!
[06:38] <La_PaRCa> !es
[06:38] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[06:38] <Paladine> jonah1980, you motherboard manual should tell you what the beeps are for
[06:38] <harisund> jonah1980 just ask your question
[06:38] <fractalworld> kaot, I downgraded from one version to another.  Now I get messages during boot saying that /lib/init/mount-functions.sh and /lib/init/vars.sh are missing.
[06:38] <Paladine> it will either be graphics device or cpu
[06:38] <pupeno> Jack_Sparrow: Ok, it seems the free ones doesn't work at all, the packaged ones are dead-slow (even for scrolling text) and the ati.com's one, althought they have 2d acceleration, 3d acceleration doesn't work (unable to load dri) and the cursor in the second display is a big blue square... I am starting to see why people hate ATI.
[06:38] <jonah1980> Paladine, i don't have a motherboard manual
[06:38] <frogzoo> hcjc92:  you can't 'pipe' it, but you can redirect it '>'
[06:39] <Paladine> so download it
[06:39] <Ratman> Bueno chao otro dia me meto otra vez me voy a comer
[06:39] <Jack_Sparrow> jonah1980: Yes I will help
[06:39] <Jack_Sparrow> IS that one beep or 2
[06:39] <harisund> Has anybody used FreeNX? Do you know whether the GDM should be running in order to use FreeNX?
[06:39] <jonah1980> Jack_Sparrow, thanks man
[06:39] <kaot> fractalworld: oh boy.  haven't seen that one.
[06:39] <jonah1980> it's just one beep repeating every couple seconds
[06:39] <fractalworld> kaot, I found indications that Debian pretty recently made these changes (added these files) and that Edgy picked it up.
[06:39] <Paladine> anyone else had issues with ubu autoupdate crashing xorg
[06:39] <Jack_Sparrow> pupeno:  what do you get running glxgears
[06:40] <fractalworld> kaot, When Edgy became too unstable for me, I downgraded to Dapper.
[06:40] <Jack_Sparrow> jonah1980:  Pull your ram chip and reseat it.. One beep is usually a memory error  or mismatched memory
[06:40] <hcjc92> is there any graphic way to do ps -aux (like the windows ctrl-shft-esc)
[06:40] <pupeno> Jack_Sparrow: a still picture of three gears.
[06:40] <Ratman> Venezuela
[06:40] <Ratman> Venezuela
[06:40] <Paladine> a simple yes or no response will do?
[06:40] <Ratman> Venezuela
[06:40] <kaot> fractalworld: so now you have to figure out what's calling those scripts and fix it?
[06:40] <pupeno> Jack_Sparrow: oh! wait! another frame... it moves!
[06:40] <Ratman> Venezuela
[06:41] <Ratman> Venezuela
[06:41] <fractalworld> kaot, I have done my best to ensure that sysvinit and initscripts are correctly installed.
[06:41] <jonah1980> Jack_Sparrow, could it be because i stole a little memory out of it? i just left 64mb in there
[06:41] <pppoe_dude> @ops
[06:41] <Ratman> Venezuela
[06:41] <LoRez> Warning: `Ratman' seems to be spamming, please discontinue or kicks/kills/klines will be issued.
[06:41] <fractalworld> kaot, Right.

[06:41] <Ratman> Venezuela
[06:41] <harisund> hcjc92 there is a process viewer.. you can set a keyboard shortcu to it
[06:41] <Ratman> Venezuela
[06:41] <Jack_Sparrow> jonah1980: YEp... some are meant to be in pairs
[06:41] <harisund> what's up with Ratman and Venezuela?
[06:41] <hcjc92> whats it called?
[06:41] <jonah1980> Jack Sparrow, i took two 256 mb chips out and put one 64mb back in instead
[06:41] <kaot> fractalworld: just a thought, have you tried to grep /etc/ for those filenames,maybe they pop up in init scripts in there
[06:41] <fractalworld> kaot, I have grepped all over the place (the /etc, /sbin, /usr/sbin and /lib/init trees).
[06:41] <kaot> rm
[06:41] <kaot> *hrm.
[06:41] <fractalworld> kaot, Yep
[06:42] <Jack_Sparrow> jonah1980: THats how you fix it..
[06:42] <jonah1980> Jack_Sparrow, ah bummer cos i've got my new machine up and running and i don't have any memory to put in old one without pulling it all in bits again
[06:42] <fractalworld> kaot,  tried that.
[06:42] <Paladine> hello?? Has anyone else had a problem with autoupdate crashing xorg?
[06:42] <fractalworld> kaot, That's what's stumping me.
[06:42] <Ramunas> hello
[06:42] <harisund> hcjc92 I think it is process viewer.. not sure .. if you try to create a panel button you will find it
[06:42] <Ramunas> how can i find Opera in the repositories?
[06:42] <davemicc> Paladine: yes!
[06:42] <Jack_Sparrow> jonah1980: What type of memory chips are you running
[06:42] <Jack_Sparrow> pc100, sd ?
[06:42] <Jack_Sparrow> ddr
[06:43] <Paladine> davemicc, just happened to me and a friend of mine minutes apart
[06:43] <fractalworld> kaot, the messages show up when I hit the /sbin/init stage of booting, but I can't figure out the source of the messages.
[06:43] <Paladine> davemicc, proper crashed it too, sent a bunch of junk to the video device
[06:43] <Jack_Sparrow> pupeno:  type glxgears -printfps
[06:43] <jonah1980> Jack_Sparrow, ok the one i left in, i just ripped it out - it's a Crucial 256mb ddr
[06:44] <wastrel> !opera > Ramunas
[06:44] <davemicc> Paladine: I just used synaptic instead of trying to track down the problem - it happened after I upgraded xserver-xorg-input-mouse package
[06:44] <fractalworld> kaot, since /sbin/init is a binary file, it is a little hard for me to debug./
[06:44] <davemicc> Paladine: I thought it was due to some other stuff I had been messing withe
[06:44] <jonah1980> Jack_Sparrow, DDR
[06:44] <kaot> fractalworld: yes, I can see where that would be a problem :\
[06:44] <Paladine> davemicc, yeah I just installed that the other day, never had any problems, but just did todays update and got a scarey crash
[06:45] <kaot> kaot: have you tried downgrading sysvinit manually?
[06:45] <Ramunas> wastrel: http://digg.com/linux_unix/Ubuntu_Makes_Opera_9_available
[06:45] <Aspen> Hokay: Obscure Little Post-Dapper-Update bug regarding Xorg
[06:45] <Aspen> I've got multiple monitors set up, and everything was working fine before the update. Afterwards, the mouse cursor doesn't change (in response to window edges, links, etc) on ONE of the screens. On the other one everything works as expected. Really tiny problem bug it's kind of annoying.
[06:45] <Aspen> Is there someplace I can look in my xorg.conf to fix this?
[06:45] <pupeno> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[06:45] <pupeno> 863 frames in 5.9 seconds = 145.398 FPS
[06:45] <pupeno> 810 frames in 5.4 seconds = 149.765 FPS
[06:45] <hcjc92> harisund, its system mointior :)
[06:45] <Stork> hi, i set in my shortcut-keys for a key to open a music player, and it opens a music player i don't like. Is it possible to change the default music player to 'XMMS' ?
[06:46] <Jack_Sparrow> jonah1980: Where did the 64 meg chip come from.  My concern is that if you forced it in you may now have a bad MB..  I have never seen a 64meg ddr chip
[06:46] <pupeno> Jack_Sparrow: there. But I'd say it is running at 140 frames per minute... maybe less. I can see the individual frames.
[06:46] <iz_no_goud> bonjour, quelqu'un connait un bon logiciel de gravage sous ubuntu ?
[06:46] <kaot> fractalworld: yeah i was talking to myself.  ahem.  have you tried downgrading sysvinit manually?
[06:46] <Jack_Sparrow> pupeno: Even the free drivers can do better
[06:46] <dxdemetriou> I have installed the menu from Synaptic to have all programs in Applications/Debian. The problem is that if I choose "open with" for one file it crash the Nautilus. Anybody knows how can I fix it?
[06:47] <pupeno> Jack_Sparrow: understandable... when you manage to load DRI I imagine.
[06:47] <Jack_Sparrow> pupeno:  did you get any errors during the ati driver process
[06:47] <wastrel> Ramunas:  you can download an ubuntu deb from opera's website
[06:47] <jonah1980> Jack_Sparrow, no sorry it's 256, i thought it was 64mb - my mistake - it used to have two 256mb chips and i took one out and put in new machine alongside the two already in new computer
[06:47] <bill[1] > anyone know if there are any fixes in the line for the kdevelop svn bugs in the current version?
[06:47] <Ramunas> wastrel: i know, i already have it installed, but after reading this i wanted to find it in the repositories
[06:48] <pupeno> Jack_Sparrow: no.
[06:48] <Jack_Sparrow> jonah1980: Put the candle back...  Oh flashback to old MEl Brooks movie Young Frankenstein
[06:48] <wastrel> Ramunas:  i don't see it in the repos anywhere.
[06:48] <sktx> someone trying to msg me?
[06:48] <gnomefreak> Ramunas: its not in the official repos on ubuntu
[06:48] <Stork> hi, i set in my shortcut-keys for a key to open a music player, and it opens a music player i don't like. Is it possible to change the default music player to 'XMMS' ?
[06:48] <Paladine> davemicc, the scariest thing is it hasn't dumped anything to the .xsession-error file either
[06:48] <Ramunas> gnomefreak: so where can i find them?
[06:49] <gnomefreak> Ramunas: its most likely froma  3rd party repo
[06:49] <fractalworld> kaot, Hah!  Found the calls.  Now I just need to figure out how to replace the missing files or else modify the files that call them.
[06:49] <Jack_Sparrow> system preferences preferred-applications
[06:49] <gnomefreak> Ramunas: opera.com ;) download the .deb and do sudo dpkg -i
[06:49] <Ramunas> gnomefreak: well opera had that repository for ages, it must be something else
[06:49] <gnomefreak> im having issues bringing the digg page up atm to see what they say
[06:49] <edu> ttttt
[06:49] <Jack_Sparrow> !ati >Jack_Sparrow

[06:52] <AltF4> up*
[06:52] <ompaul> alterr, this is not a chat channel it is a support channel
[06:52] <ompaul> alterr, sorry typo
[06:53] <ompaul> AltF4, this is not a chat channel it is a support channel that would be the issue imo
[06:53] <gnomefreak> AltF4: i cant bring it up i have too much going on at once its taking forever to load
[06:53] <jonah1980> Jack_Sparrow: ok i'll put the candle back! bummer, ok thanks for the help dude
[06:53] <b08y> hello, does any one have a complette working cdemu source?
[06:53] <gnomefreak> IB-: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[06:53] <AltF4> this is #ubuntu not #digg
[06:53] <cbx33> Jack_Sparrow, things have taken a turn for the worst :p
[06:53] <IB-> gnomefreak: that installes a BETA version?
[06:53] <gnomefreak> ompaul: ty not testing building
[06:54] <ompaul> gnomefreak, ohhhhh :-)
[06:54] <gnomefreak> IB-: yes
[06:54] <gnomefreak> AltF4: please join #ubuntu-offtopic i have too much going on to add a 17th window for chat
[06:55] <IB-> gnomefreak: ok
[06:55] <skybox> what's the command to give a folder/director FULL write/read etc settings?
[06:55] <IB-> whats the diff between xfce4 package and xubuntu?
[06:55] <Paladine> ls -al
[06:55] <Paladine> doh
[06:55] <Crescendo> Getting a hard link count is wrong for /proc/9364 error... bug in my filesystem driver, when running a find comman... what is the problem here and how do I fix it?
[06:55] <IB-> why does xubuntu-desktop need "abiword" ?
[06:56] <b08y> skybox: "man chmod"
[06:56] <skybox> okay, tx
[06:56] <AltF4> IS there a way to install a program in ubuntu inside vmware
[06:56] <wastrel> IB-:  you must be running breezy?
[06:56] <frogzoo> Crescendo: fsck ?
[06:56] <IB-> i'm running dapper
[06:56] <reb> the regular way works AltF4
[06:56] <AltF4> but it says archive not suported
[06:56] <IB-> this is an original 6.06 installation
[06:57] <reb> AltF4: whats your sources.list?
[06:57] <wastrel> IB-:  interesting, i don't have abiword but i do have ubuntu-desktop
[06:57] <AltF4> don;t know
[06:57] <Crescendo> Should I run fsck -p
[06:57] <reb> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:57] <frogzoo> Crescendo: I think so...
[06:57] <IB-> strange
[06:57] <AltF4> all know is when I donwload .rpms and .bins it says the error
[06:57] <AltF4> I'm not in ubuntu now
[06:58] <IB-> intalling just xfce4
[06:58] <IB-> brb
[06:58] <wastrel> IB-:  anyway, ubuntu-desktop is not necessary, it's a wrapper you can safely remove
[06:58] <Crescendo> It's all like, WARNING!  YOU SHOULD NOT RUN ON A MOUNTED FILESYSTEM!  THIS CAN CAUSE *SERIOUS* DAMAGE!
[06:58] <Crescendo> And I'm like... NOOOOO!
[06:58] <AltF4> lol
[06:58] <Sub> AltF4, .rpms do not work with linux.
[06:58] <Sub> !rpm
[06:58] <reb> AltF4: use alien -i to install rpms
[06:58] <AltF4> WAHH!!!!
[06:58] <ubotu> rpm is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous).
[06:58] <rhalff> anyone owns a levono v100 ? :)
[06:58] <Crescendo> .rpms do not work with UBUNTU.
[06:59] <maagimies> Crescendo, usually rpm's work for nobody
[06:59] <AltF4> what does
[06:59] <reb> AltF4: well. rpms do work, but not always as well
[06:59] <gnomefreak> Crescendo: with alien they do but not advised
[06:59] <AltF4> what formats do
[06:59] <reb> AltF4: bin packages are bad, avoid them
[06:59] <AltF4> do .debs work
[06:59] <reb> AltF4: you want to install most of your packages via synaptic
[06:59] <gnomefreak> reb: bins are fine
[06:59] <void^> Crescendo: don't run find on /proc ;)
[06:59] <reb> AltF4: debs work
[06:59] <reb> gnomefreak: yeah, but its an ugly method
[06:59] <AltF4> ahhhhhh
[07:00] <maagimies> reb, not all .bin packages are bad, some are easy to uninstall
[07:00] <maagimies> do note *some*
[07:00] <gnomefreak> reb: ummm did you ever look through your filesystem?
[07:00] <reb> AltF4: is that ahhhhhh of understanding?
[07:00] <exor|grey> having issues getting php5 to work with apache1.3 on dapper, it appears apt only has the apache2 module
[07:00] <gnomefreak> reb: /usr/bin
[07:00] <AltF4> yes
[07:00] <cntb> !xvid
[07:00] <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
[07:00] <reb> gnomefreak: when i say bin, i mean xxxxinstall.bin
[07:00] <b08y> !cdemu
[07:00] <ubotu> I know nothing about cdemu
[07:00] <Sub> !qemu
[07:00] <ubotu> qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo
[07:01] <gnomefreak> reb: bin is bin either you do it manually or ubuntu does it
[07:01] <reb> gnomefreak: as in self-extracting binary packages, which are much uglier than debs or even rpms
[07:01] <AltF4> VMware is bette
[07:01] <JoaoJoao> a little more expensive too
[07:01] <b08y> someone familiar with cdemu, got working with dapper, msg me, as soon as possible
[07:01] <exor|grey> is there a current package for libphp5 against apache1.3 or do i need to add an apt source from a previous version
[07:01] <AltF4> I got te player
[07:01] <AltF4> the player
[07:01] <reb> gnomefreak: .bin packages arent in the apt database
[07:01] <tomohawk> has anyone here had much luck hosting and streaming music+videos to iTunes on a local network?
[07:01] <reb> gnomefreak: meanning you can get a file conflict
[07:01] <AltF4> use RSSitunes tomohawk
[07:01] <JoaoJoao> Xen + VT-enabled hardware seems to be fantastic
[07:02] <AltF4> Sorry RSSTunes
[07:02] <tomohawk> thank altf4
[07:02] <AltF4> sure
[07:02] <tomohawk> will that do video too?
[07:02] <AltF4> uses RSS to broadcast your music on a port
[07:02] <AltF4> don't think so
[07:02] <AltF4> try it
[07:02] <tomohawk> ah
[07:02] <AltF4> I use it for music
[07:02] <hyalu_> hi, does anybody know how I can switch of the bell in my terminal - each time I do a tab completeion the bell rings which is a little irriatting
[07:03] <reb> hyalu_: in konsole or gnome-terminal?
[07:03] <tomohawk> oh wait, so it just works like an internet radio station, as opposed to the way iTunes does its music sharing?
[07:03] <AltF4> yah
[07:03] <hyalu_> reb, aterm actually
[07:03] <AltF4> it makes an RSS feed
[07:03] <tomohawk> ahhhhh
[07:03] <AltF4> so you go to your IP:port number
[07:03] <reb> hyalu_: is there a ~/.aterm file or folder?
[07:03] <tomohawk> hmm, ill look into it, but that's not what i'm lookin for :(
[07:03] <AltF4> oh
[07:03] <hyalu_> reb, no
[07:04] <tomohawk> I'm trying to set up a server to house all my media for the media pc with the tv, and to the wireless laptops in the house
[07:04] <jonah1980> Jack_Sparrow, hi again! more problems, ok so i put the candle back and thought horray when no beeping started but then the screen just went crazy colours and squares, no writing or bios appears etc either! what have i done now!
[07:05] <AltF4> just put HTML files and link to the music and video
[07:05] <reb> hyalu_: i cant remember, i used to use aterm all the time though....
[07:05] <icebreak> i've just installed XFCE4, and tried to login into it (just the xfce4, without the xubuntu-desktop), and i've get a wired green desktop, without a working toolbar, and i cant do anything... am i missing something?
[07:05] <CarlFK> how do I install elm or some other dirt simple email reader ?
[07:05] <rixxon> can you change lcd brightness in ubuntu
[07:05] <reb> hyalu_: you edit .Xresources
[07:06] <CarlFK> I am trying to figure out why one of my t-bird mail folders hangs tbird
[07:06] <ccooke> rixxon: if your hardware supports it, chances are it's already working
[07:06] <tomohawk> that would work, but it doesn't integrate into the Front Row software on the mac, and more importantly, still needs at least a mouse to operate :(
[07:06] <wastrel> CarlFK:  try mutt
[07:06] <AltF4> oh
[07:06] <AltF4> g2g
[07:06] <CarlFK> wastrel: thanks
[07:06] <rixxon> ccooke: friend is having problem, low brightness and unable to change it with fn+fkeys on laptop
[07:06] <hyalu_> reb, aah, thanks. Thats what I was forgetting!
[07:06] <ccooke> rixxon: what laptop?
[07:06] <jonah1980> Jack_Sparrow, so now the screen is just flashing crazy and lines of squares up and down
[07:06] <rixxon> ccooke: Packard Bell E2316
[07:07] <reb> hyalu_: or .Xsettings
[07:08] <hyalu_> reb, actually just doing xset b off does the job
[07:08] <reb> hyalu_: hot
[07:08] <SurfnKid> cough cough
[07:08] <hyalu_> another question - is it possible to have a different image for the login screen than the one that comes with dapper?
[07:08] <icebreak> anybody here using xfce4 without xubuntu-desktop ?
[07:09] <ccooke> rixxon: ah, not one I know. There *may* be something in /proc/acpi
[07:10] <reb> hyalu_: yes, run gdm-setup as sudo root
[07:10] <reb> hyalu_: gdmsetup, no -
[07:10] <sorush20> I keep getting a  huge amount of libtool warning..
[07:11] <rixxon> ccooke: for example?
[07:11] <SurfnKid> hyalu_, matter of fact im changing my themed greeeting as we speak
[07:11] <reb> sorush20: such as what, it might not matter at all
[07:11] <SurfnKid> hyalu_, u can download different themes, some from the gnome site
[07:12] <ccooke> rixxon: it depends on the hardware... what's the graphics card?
[07:12] <hyalu_> SurfnKid, yes, I've got some theme tarballs. I was wondering how I'd install them
[07:12] <fer> helo !
[07:12] <hyalu_> reb, thanks again :)
[07:12] <kaot> hyalu_: what kind of themes?
[07:13] <Jack_Sparrow> jonah1980: please join /Jack_Sparrow since this is not Ubuntu related problem
[07:13] <ompaul> hyalu_, yes - system administration login window after that it is up to you do choose where you drop stuff
[07:13] <hyalu_> kaot, gdm themes
[07:13] <fer> some spanish ?
[07:13] <wastrel> !es > fer
[07:13] <reb> !es
[07:13] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[07:13] <fer> ok
[07:13] <WooD> any know wich software Player can read : asx, ram files ? Totem does not read this kind of file
[07:14] <CodeWarrior_> hello folks
[07:14] <kaot> hyalu_: /usr/share/gdm/themes/ maybe
[07:14] <reb> does !es > fer send a message to dim saying that?
[07:14] <SurfnKid> hyalu_, in the gdmsetup option of themed greeting, at the bottom, install new theme, look for the tarball, itll automatically import the files into the theemed greeter, and youre done, select any new theme installed
[07:14] <kaot> hyalu_: don't ask me how to choose themes though
[07:14] <reb> WooD: helix player for ram, asx might work with mplayer
[07:14] <hyalu_> SurfnKid, thanks
[07:14] <WooD> reb: thanks
[07:14] <reb> hyalu_: many themes at gnome-look.org or art.gnome.org-
[07:14] <ompaul> hyalu_, you install them using system preferences themes
[07:14] <maagimies> WooD, Totem should read those files if you have the codecs
[07:14] <SurfnKid> hyalu_, i just chose random theme, cuz the default ubuntu themes are pretty gay
[07:14] <WooD> maagimies: ok i need codecs..
[07:15] <reb> maagimies: i dont think totem does windows media streams or real audio medi
[07:15] <orge> is there an app that records desktop, like, demonstrating something like how Novell demonstrated XGL, you know what im saying?
[07:15] <maagimies> WooD, mplayerhq.hu
[07:15] <reb> orge: istanbul or byzanz
[07:15] <orge> ic
[07:15] <maagimies> WooD, the essential codecs package, unpack the codecs to /usr/lib/win32
[07:15] <CodeWarrior_> I would like to use apt-get to download all files (and dependencies) about xgl for dapper, but I'm on another machine that has debian, is there any way to get all files here (using apt-get) and later install all of them on ubuntu ? I just put ubuntu lines on source.list
[07:15] <WooD> maagimies: thanks
[07:15] <Gorlist> Hi, is their a tool to mount virtual CDs? (other than ISO format, such as B5T etc)
[07:15] <reb> orge: istanbul for longer stuff, byzanz records a gif
[07:15] <Gorlist> something like Daemon tools?
[07:15] <rixxon> ccooke: some Intel PCI 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics
[07:16] <ompaul> rpedro, the bot is for ubuntu materials only, and when you try to edit it - it shows up where a series of editors can add it or reject it
[07:16] <maagimies> Gorlist, http://freshmeat.net/projects/cd-emu/
[07:16] <Gorlist> thans maagimies
[07:16] <jrib> CodeWarrior_: look into apt-zip but that's just a suggestion, I don't know much about using it
[07:16] <maagimies> Gorlist, but you can also use tools to convert the other iso formats to .iso, and just mount them normally
[07:17] <tibbe> is it possible to change the file system used on my /home partition without copying all data from it?
[07:17] <Sub> tibbe, depends on what filesystem you want to change to/from
[07:17] <Gorlist> hmm, im looking to convert a B5T, B5I blindwrite file
[07:17] <Gorlist> or atleast
[07:18] <Gorlist> mount

[07:19] <Sub> orge, with cspan
[07:19] <Sub> orge, sorry cpan
[07:19] <maagimies> Gorlist, you could use Ultraiso with wine to convert various iso formats to .iso

[07:20] <jrib> ashughes: packages.ubuntu.com can tell you
[07:20] <maagimies> Gorlist, although Ultraiso does work greatly with wine, it's free only in trial mode, so you got about a month to search for a linux alternative ;)

[07:29] <Blissex> roostishaw: usually you look at the screen :-).
[07:29] <Sub> roostishaw, open a terminal and type "glxgears"
[07:29] <CarlFK> AutoPilo1: open a terminal, do lsusb (list usb) - do you see something like: Bus 002 Device 006: ID 13b1:000b Linksys WUSB11 v4.0 802.11b Adapter
[07:29] <Sub> if it runs well then you should be okay

[07:30] <roostishaw> ardchoille, so its working?
[07:30] <gnomefreak> chicken-man: it just shuts down? or is it after you walk awayf or 10-20 mins?
[07:30] <Trae> Anything special I need to do to add this SIIG V 5.0 F0008-62 card to my machine?
[07:30] <ardchoille> roostishaw: yes, it's working
[07:30] <roostishaw> ardchoille, thank you
[07:31] <Trae> it's a Firewire card

[07:31] <AutoPilo1> Bus 003 Device 011: ID 13b1:0014 Linksys
[07:31] <chicken-man> gnomefreak, I'm not too sure I leave it for 20-30 minutes and when I get back it's at the login screen
[07:31] <] GoldenDragon> it says command not found
[07:31] <] GoldenDragon> =] 
[07:31] <wastrel> ] GoldenDragon:  sudo aptitude install ruby  :] 
[07:32] <] GoldenDragon> hehe.
[07:32] <gnomefreak> chicken-man: ok go to system>prefference>screensaver and on the bottom of first tab check to see if lock screen is checked if it is uncheskit
[07:32] <AutoPilo1> I tried 3 drivers: the original, the Belken F5D7051, and the U.S. robotics
[07:32] <SurfnKid> AutoPilo1, install the wlan-ng package in Synaptic, That will enable communication
[07:32] <chicken-man> gnomefreak, I think it may have something to do with the screensaver, but every time I open the screensaver config thing it crashes
[07:32] <gnomefreak> chicken-man: ^^^ try that
[07:32] <] GoldenDragon> aptitude? O_o
[07:32] <chicken-man> gnomefreak, ok but it may crash the lot :-P
[07:32] <wastrel> ] GoldenDragon:  or apt-get
[07:32] <skybox> how do I check if DMA is enabled for my dvd burner?
[07:32] <] GoldenDragon> hehe
[07:33] <gnomefreak> chicken-man: if it crashes please file a bug report on launchpad and get a backtrace of it if you can

[07:35] <jrib> chicken-man: you checked ~/.xsession-errors ?
[07:35] <compotatoj> pandora--, Yes, I assume so. I set up a second monitor for Ubuntu, so I think an external one would be set up the same way.
[07:35] <chicken-man> gnomefreak, ok
[07:35] <chicken-man> jrib, I'll go check now
[07:35] <compotatoj> pandora--, do you want to use both screens?
[07:35] <SurfnKid> skybox, sudo hdparm -d   /dev/<dvdburnerdevice>
[07:35] <roostishaw> whats this whole deal about compix & xgl? do i need both? can i install compiz with just 'sudo apt-get install compiz-gnome? what about xgl?
[07:36] <AutoPilo1> is there a USB product that I can buy that works?
[07:36] <SurfnKid> AutoPilo1, WUSB12 by Linksys
[07:36] <pandora--> compotatoj: I'd like to be able to use my desktop monitor, and a nice kb/mouse to use the laptop when i'm at my desk
[07:36] <SurfnKid> AutoPilo1, using the wlan-ng package
[07:36] <pandora--> compotatoj: so, not using both screens, just displaying on a nice big one
[07:37] <skybox> ah ok thanks
[07:37] <AutoPilo1> the one I have now is the WUSB54GSv2
[07:37] <SurfnKid> np
[07:37] <pandora--> compotatoj: i've kinda done this, but my monitor doesn't support the resolution that my laptop renders at (widescreen)
[07:37] <ENE|Toxic> Is there some neat tweaking/program/device that has to be edited/downloaded to enable s-video ?
[07:37] <SurfnKid> AutoPilo1, you might want to check the list of usb compatible wifi adapters
[07:37] <pandora--> compotatoj: can I make X ignore my laptop screen?
[07:37] <compotatoj> roostishaw, Have you tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl ?
[07:38] <roostishaw> compotatoj, do they both do the same thing?
[07:38] <Trae> okie dokie....
[07:38] <maagimies> roostishaw, xgl is the underlying technology, and compiz is a way to use xgl to have cool effects and wobbly windows, so yes, you basically need both
[07:38] <Trae> I have firewire card on desktop now, and lspci shows it.
[07:38] <gnomefreak> chicken-man: ok look at what jrib said give the errors in there and file the bug with those errors if you can im having issues right now if you give me the link when your done filing the bug ill take a look at it
[07:38] <compotatoj> roostishaw, I have no idea I haven't used it yet but i would like to try it later
[07:38] <Trae> I've got a firewire cable going between my desktop and my laptop
[07:38] <AutoPilo1> I checked that and the one I have : WUSB54GSv2 is compatible with ndiswrapper, they have instruction to install it, I did all that but I still get errors in the sys log
[07:38] <Trae> the laptop I need to get files off of it.  how would I do that?
[07:38] <compotatoj> pandora--, sorry i'm not sure i'll look at my xorg.conf file right now
[07:39] <roostishaw> maagimies, where can i find a guide to install xgl, since compiz is in the repos?
[07:39] <gnomefreak> !xgl
[07:39] <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
[07:39] <chicken-man> gnomefreak, Iok
[07:39] <compotatoj> roostishaw, what was wrong with mine?
[07:39] <coz_> Ok checked the screensaver steetings as well as the power management settings... all are correct .. but monitor still sleeps after 15 miunutes!
[07:39] <chicken-man> gnomefreak, ok*
[07:39] <SurfnKid> AutoPilo1, have you tried the wlan-ng driver just for kicks?
[07:39] <mada> roostishaw: the ubuntu forums has a really nice tutorial ... forget where, but i'm sure it is .... nvm, go go gadget bot
[07:39] <PetrolBomb> Any clever ethereal person?
[07:40] <roostishaw> compotatoj, um... that has nothing to do with linux
[07:40] <roostishaw> compotatoj, if im on the right page
[07:40] <wotdu>  hey guys, how do i disable that graphical ubuntu logo and title with a loading bar ?
[07:40] <Foobal> ENE|Toxic: Just read your xorg.conf, check what driver you are using and man it.. for instance "man nvidia" for nvidia driver manuals
[07:40] <wotdu> while booting i mean
[07:40] <Trae> hrmm
[07:41] <AutoPilo1> let me get this right, I have the wlan-ng installed, how do i try it? is it by any chance the wireless assistant? if so, when i execute it says " no usable wireless device found"
[07:41] <Trae> Should I even be able to access files via firewire from one machine to the next?
[07:41] <ENE|Toxic> Foobal: ok thx
[07:41] <roostishaw> maagimies, so a 'sudo apt-get install compiz-gnome xserver-xgl' would do the trick?
[07:41] <compotatoj> roostishaw, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl
[07:41] <SurfnKid> AutoPilo1,  what does iwconfig return

[07:45] <mcmillen> PetrolBomb: what about ethereal?
[07:45] <chicken-man> gnomefreak, https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/52128
[07:45] <PetrolBomb> ahhh
[07:45] <CodeWarrior_> great !!!! APT-ZIP is what I needed !!! I'm just getting all the packages I need ! thanks a lot friend
[07:46] <AutoPilo1> the return from lsmod  | grep prism is none
[07:46] <anthony> ok....this is kind of weird
[07:46] <PetrolBomb> pm
[07:46] <anthony> when I try to run fglrxinfo, it says that it cant find libGL.so.1
[07:46] <SurfnKid> AutoPilo1,  lsmod | grep *prism*
[07:46] <anthony> but I browsed to the location, and I can see it
[07:47] <lakcaj> is there a way to use the ppc install cd and not load the gui?  I want to use the traditional curses install method, because my old imac can't handle gnome running in ram.
[07:47] <anthony> so the file is there, permissions are good, but for some reason it just cant see it
[07:47] <anthony> i tried reinstalling the drivers and the libGL package to no avail
[07:47] <ardchoille> anthony: perhaps it's in an unexpected location?
[07:47] <AutoPilo1> lsmod | grep *prism* none, what is prism? I tried lsmod | grep sit0, is that right?
[07:47] <Trae> I posted my question on the forums here:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1221197#post1221197
[07:48] <anthony> i checked online and, according to the library install instructions, it is in the right location
[07:48] <mikere> The application that tells me updates are available keeps crashing when I open it - what apt-get command will install the updates for me?
[07:48] <ardchoille> anthony: is the case in the filename correct?
[07:48] <mikere> in fact it makes X restart completely when it crashes
[07:49] <anthony> yup
[07:49] <SurfnKid> AutoPilo1, Im looking to see if the usb_prism  driver is in the core
[07:49] <AutoPilo1> if it helps, I installed prism at one stage
[07:49] <skybox> anyone know a way either command line/or gui that let's you burn a dual layer disc with a dual layer break?
[07:50] <SurfnKid> mmm, ok well also try hostap or follow the instructions on isntalling the ndiswrapper for that specific usb card
[07:50] <anthony> i am out of ideas
[07:51] <user1> i need to use su in a shell script, how can i pass the password to it?
[07:51] <mikere> I guess apt-get upgrade is what I'm looking for
[07:51] <roostishaw> how can i tell if xgl is working?
[07:51] <maagimies> user1, can't you edit to script to use sudo?
[07:51] <varsendaggr> roostishaw, your windows will wobble
[07:51] <hcjc92> sudo still askes for the password (if i'm not root)
[07:52] <compotatoj> user1, try using gksudo or gksu
[07:52] <varsendaggr> it is all kinds of kickass
[07:52] <] GoldenDragon> umm, was there a recent ubuntu update that wants to mess with  "login" "passwd" and "ppp" ?
[07:52] <ompaul> hcjc92, cos sudo is sudo
[07:52] <compotatoj> user1, if you want a window to pop up like synaptic or somethig
[07:52] <anthony> anyone know where fglrxinfo is looking for lib files?
[07:52] <ompaul> hcjc92, you don't need to be root - and if you are you don't need sudo
[07:52] <maagimies> ] GoldenDragon, I had an passwd upgrade recently
[07:52] <ardchoille> hcjc92: can you run the script as sudo?
[07:52] <Blissex> anthony: usual places. Also use 'ldd' to figure out things.
[07:52] <jrib> ] GoldenDragon: yes, there was here
[07:52] <mikere> ] GoldenDragon: that's what it wanted me to upgrade today
[07:53] <] GoldenDragon> okay
[07:53] <anthony> ldd??
[07:53] <Wikipedia-Gast27> hi
[07:53] <mikere> ] GoldenDragon: here's hoping the repositories aren't compromised, lol!
[07:53] <] GoldenDragon> i hope so.
[07:53] <] GoldenDragon> cuz i clicked update and i got an error saying it couldnt detect the mouse and their might be some malicious software doing something or it could be that i clicked some other application that wanted to check that, but then that came up  about login/passwd so i got worried

[07:56] <cntb> videoLAN is the greatest

[08:03] <curumo> can I ask a question?

[08:03] <student27> but the windows machine gets an ip by dhcp
[08:04] <sys8976> student27: ok and you just cant resolve dhcp right?
[08:04] <student27> and xubuntu not
[08:04] <curumo> so what question shall I ask?
[08:04] <student27> as far as i see

[08:04] <jrib> Amaranth: curumo , he did the same thing a couple of days ago.  just keeps repeating nonsensical things
[08:05] <student27> well, the failure occurs during installation ... and the installation hangs now
[08:05] <gnomefreak> Amaranth: you got it?
[08:05] <curumo> why
[08:05] <Amaranth> curumo: Do you have something to ask?
[08:05] <student27> i don't have a prompt
[08:05] <Amaranth> gnomefreak: yeah
[08:05] <curumo> can I ask a question?
[08:05] <sys8976> student27: ahh ok..maybe a bad stick of ram, how much ram do you have in there
[08:05] <gnomefreak> ok ty
[08:05] <Amaranth> curumo: Yes, you can ask a question.
[08:05] <student27> 256 mb ... should be enough
[08:05] <Amaranth> In fact, you just did. :P
[08:05] <student27> for xubuntu at least
[08:05] <curumo> ok, what question?
[08:05] <mirak> is there some gui to read apache logs ?
[08:05] <tomohawk> ok... it just told me that my user is not in the sudoers file....
[08:05] <Amaranth> *sigh*
[08:05] <sys8976> student27: should with no prob, is it one stick or two?
[08:06] <student27> one
[08:06] <sys8976> student27: was an os runniing on this before with the same hardware?

[08:06] <student27> yes
[08:06] <john111119901211> i have a cnet pro200wl
[08:06] <sys8976> student27: do you have another nic that you can install for testing?
[08:06] <john111119901211> when i boot off the "livecd", then ubuntu can access the internet (thru firefox)
[08:06] <student27> should this affect dhcp?
[08:06] <john111119901211> no sorry just one carf
[08:06] <john111119901211> *card
[08:06] <sys8976> student27: the nic will
[08:06] <student27> what does "nic" meen?
[08:07] <john111119901211> however, when i boot of my ubuntu HD installation, i cant get to the internet
[08:07] <Wikipedia-Gast95> why
[08:07] <sys8976> student27: network interface card
[08:07] <john111119901211> i checked the "device manager" and when i'm running off the livecd, it says i''m using dmfe driver
[08:07] <student27> no, i only have one
[08:07] <SMG|CH_> does the nic show up with lspci john111119901211?
[08:07] <Wikipedia-Gast95> what question shall I ask?

[08:07] <lakcaj_> john111119901211: try going into System -> Admin -> Networking, and enable the network interface
[08:07] <sys8976> student27: it sounds like the install isnt picking up the nic that is in that machine...
[08:07] <john111119901211> did that
[08:07] <squilla> anyone at all: the livecd does not give me  a graphical interface or console - just hangs eventually with a flashing cursor - anyone have  a workaround?
[08:07] <jrib> Amaranth: he seems to be back as Wikipedia-Gast95 :/
[08:07] <sorush20> guys I'm following this line  sudo sed -i s/dapper/breezy/g /var/chroot/etc/apt/sources.list, in the Debootstrap Chroot wiki, but I don't think I should put down the s/dapper/breezy/g
[08:07] <Wikipedia-Gast95> what question shall I ask?

[08:08] <john111119901211> yup(in response to student27)
[08:08] <john111119901211> basically how do i change the driver that linux uses from tulip to dmfe
[08:08] <sys8976> squilla: check the media to make sure the burn is good

[08:09] <squilla> sys:it's good - checked
[08:09] <simmerz> how simple is it to upgrade from debian sarge to dapper drake for example? Obviously the principle is as simple as changed the apt sources file, but are the packages named with the same conventions etc?
[08:09] <student27> ? @john111119901211?
[08:09] <tomohawk> Should the original user i set up have sudo rights?
[08:09] <sys8976> student27: that just means you got a through put line (each end is seeing the other) however if on the install the os isnt seeing the nic then it isnt going to pull dhcp like it should
[08:09] <guyincognito> I have been trying to get flgrx to work on ubuntu (i have a radeon 9800) but it keeps saying that the mesa drivers are loaded. I have folloed the instructions from both ati, and from the wiki with no luck

[08:09] <squilla> sys: any workaround to get a console?
[08:09] <john111119901211> how do i get my network card to use a particular driver?
[08:10] <student27> isn't there a workaround for situations like this?
[08:10] <sys8976> student27: hardware (nic) needs the right drivers (software) to work or it wont that it just the life of a pc
[08:10] <simmerz> john111119901211: compile it in to the kernel, or if you want it as a module, dont compile the others
[08:11] <sys8976> student27: yes test with another nic would be the first step,
[08:11] <Virono> anyone knows how to solve this problem? : Perhaps you should add the directory containing `mono.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'mono' found
[08:11] <Virono> checking for mono >= 1.1.13.6... Package mono was not found in the pkg-config search path.
[08:11] <stephan__> is there a program like bluefish but for shell scripting

[08:12] <AutoPilo1> I'm using AMD64 ubuntu, would this be a problem when installing drivers via ndiswrapper?

[08:15] <anthony> ok....i am makin some progress here
[08:15] <anthony> now I can run fglrxconfig
[08:15] <gatekeeper> simmerz: I would have thought that you would need to do a fresh install
[08:15] <__mikem> Because xfce like gnome is supposed to be a light weight desktop. However it does a superior job, not to mention that compared to xfce, gnome is bloated and clumsey. Not only that, xfce actually does a good job handling resources
[08:15] <anthony> but the first line gives me an error:
[08:15] <anthony> Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0"
[08:15] <anthony> any ideas?
[08:16] <__mikem> People who like light weight or just like the serious look of gnome will feel right at home in xfce while the people who want more features will end up using kde anyway

[08:27] <anto9us> compengi, it should be ftp:// not fttp://
[08:27] <gatekeeper> simmerz: not an expert on it, and although Ubuntu is based on debian I am not sure that you can simple upgrade from one distro to another, never heard of that being done, in fact a lot would probable recommend a fresh install when moving from Breezy to Dapper
[08:27] <nofx_br> maagimies: you know what is the config for opening windows... when it moves like water.... i like it faster....
[08:28] <Sanne> sorush20, I think just what it says. Go to the last line, hit return once, save (make a backup before that).
[08:28] <ernz> anto9us : I will give it a shot. BRB
[08:28] <Jinzora_home_afk> can anyone help me get my monitor higher than 1024x768?  It supports 1280x1024 but will NOT go higher than 1024x768 - I do have 1280x1024 set in xorg.conf - it's a GeForce2 PCI card

[08:31] <Jasbone> any ideas?
[08:31] <Barkley> so do i understand logical volume management correctly?  i could take two underlying devices (100GB and 400GB disks) and then combine them to one that gets a label like JUMBODISK and export that over samba?

[08:32] <Pupeno> Can I expect to have a relative good performance with the pre-packaged fglrx ? by that I mean, as well as vesa (but with higher resolution and xinerama).
[08:33] <Sub> Pupeno, definately better than vesa

[08:33] <Sub> Jasbone, you can specify the correct resolution in there.
[08:33] <Jasbone> actually they all work together
[08:34] <Pupeno> Sub: sure ? because I wasn't able to do it.
[08:34] <greddy> can i use the same partition for my swap and my install?
[08:34] <Jasbone> but this third one
[08:34] <erUSUL> Zambezi: tct??
[08:34] <Jasbone> Yeah, but I can' use that Sub
[08:34] <cntb> how do I check openGL
[08:34] <Sub> hmmm
[08:34] <cntb> !opengl

[08:34] <Pupeno> Sub: I installed the ati.com's one, but I had some problem with them.
[08:34] <Sub> cntb, "glxgears"
[08:34] <K^Holtz> i just installed flash player, but i still cant watch videos on break.com... any idea why?
[08:34] <ome> Jack_Sparrow ok i did that. I noticed package manager icon is still on top but its grey now
[08:34] <Sub> Pupeno, > !ati
[08:34] <Sub> !ati
[08:34] <cntb> Sub come again pls !
[08:34] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:34] <Jack_Sparrow> glxgears -printfps
[08:35] <yanis> what's the difference between the server edition of ubuntu andt the alternate one?
[08:35] <WooD> What is the best software to burn cd/dvd on Ubuntu please ?
[08:35] <Sub> cntb, run "glxgears", if it works then opengl is working
[08:35] <Foobal> K^Holtz: becauce break.com designers are complete retards and have failed in creating proper tags
[08:35] <Pupeno> Sub: I have followed that guide, many many times, with no luck.
[08:35] <cntb> 'bout openGL ppls ppl!
[08:35] <yanis> WooD: k3b
[08:35] <WooD> yanis: thanks
[08:35] <Jack_Sparrow> ome:  wll done
[08:35] <Sub> yanis, the alt. is just a text based installer, the server install is just for servers, no desktop install.
[08:35] <wsjunior> does anybody know how could i route my wireless to the local network?
[08:35] <Jack_Sparrow> ome: well done
[08:35] <K^Holtz> Foobal: so basically if i want to watch anything on break.com i cant use this pc?
[08:35] <greddy> what filesystem should i format my drive with?
[08:35] <Sub> Pupeno, what card is it?
[08:35] <ome> Jack_Sparrow thanks
[08:35] <cntb> kSub 10x. where is glxgears ?
[08:35] <Jasbone> I'm using a geforce 2
[08:35] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[08:35] <greddy> is ntfs okay?
[08:36] <Sub> greddy, for linux? ext3 preferably
[08:36] <Jack_Sparrow> in termnal
[08:36] <greddy> okay
[08:36] <Sub> greddy, linux cannot write to ntfs, not well anyway
[08:36] <yanis> Sub: when you say 'no desktop install' you mean no Xserver,right?
[08:36] <Jack_Sparrow> glxgears -printfps     DOne from Terminal screen
[08:36] <cntb> q.above Sub pls
[08:36] <greddy> okay
[08:36] <Foobal> K^Holtz: most likely the flash on those pages works atm only on IE+windows combination.. they changed them couple days ago and practically managed to break them completely
[08:36] <Sub> yanis, yes and also none of the desktop apps.
[08:36] <Sub> cntb, jus open a terminal and type "glxgears" , itz in the base installation
[08:37] <Jack_Sparrow> greddy: Please think carefully about what you would lose if NTFS write fails..  Not 100% safe yet
[08:37] <cntb> k trying 10x ur great
[08:37] <Pupeno> Sub: Radeon x1300.
[08:37] <sorush20>  and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot, but when I try to follwo the instruction in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToBuildDebianPackagesFromScratch, and log in to my chroot, and when I try to install build essentials I keep getting asked for my password..
[08:37] <K^Holtz> Foobal: ok, thanks.. but just so u know, it does work with firefox+windows.. i know that because thats what i use on my windows machine
[08:37] <nickwebcouk> hey folks. I have a spare hard drive i just connected, and want to format it as a boot drive for windows. How can i do that thru ubuntu?
[08:37] <Foobal> the ntfstools write is not unsafe. it won't allow write operations that are destructive for data..
[08:37] <Sub> Pupeno, i dont have an Ati so i cant be sure, but im not sure if the x1300 is fully supported at the moment.
[08:37] <Jack_Sparrow> greddy: To share between XP and Ub , please consider making a fat32 partition which both XP and UB can write and read safely
[08:37] <greddy> is 2 gigs a good size for a swap partition?
[08:37] <tomohawk> Imreally stuck with this resolution thing... it wont let me use sudo, and i cant work out how to log in as the root user... my Athlon64 is running properly, but the powerbook is giving me the shits
[08:37] <cntb> k what game using openGl was in default install if any ?
[08:38] <Foobal> K^Holtz: okay, that's at least good.. anyways, they are doing something weird with their tags
[08:38] <nickwebcouk> tomohawk, sudo su
[08:38] <Jack_Sparrow> greddy: too much
[08:38] <Jack_Sparrow> greddy: 1st how much ram do you have
[08:38] <Sub> cntb, none , get tuxracer or something
[08:38] <Barkley> !lvm
[08:38] <ubotu> I know nothing about lvm
[08:38] <Sub> to try out.
[08:38] <ome> Jack_Sparrow: Just clicked it and tried to install updates and crashed
[08:38] <greddy> 1 gig of ram
[08:38] <K^Holtz> Foobal: i'm assuming someone has already attempted to contact them about this issue?
[08:38] <Pupeno> Sub: ok. Thanks.
[08:39] <cntb> k is ti in any repo? tuxracer for eample ?
[08:39] <tomohawk> "tom is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported"
[08:39] <tomohawk> its the first user i set up
[08:39] <ome> Jack_Sparrow what is reload supposed to do? it dosnt apear to install the updates
[08:39] <greddy> hmmm
[08:39] <Jack_Sparrow> ome: HAve you done any manual changes, or installed anything other that what apt or synaptic have available
[08:39] <Ropechoborra> Jack_Sparrow can you help me with a partition problem ?
[08:39] <Foobal> K^Holtz: I'm glad there are some 5000000 other humor sites around, at least I wont bother :)
[08:39] <Jack_Sparrow> ome: It just gets the headders from the repositories
[08:39] <nickwebcouk>  I have a spare hard drive i just connected, and want to format it as a boot drive for windows. How can i do that thru ubuntu
[08:39] <greddy> with 1` gig of ram how large should my swap be?
[08:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Ropechoborra:  you are third in line at the moment
[08:40] <Jack_Sparrow> greddy: Use 2 gig
[08:40] <ome> Cant think of anything i installed that wasnt though packet manager
[08:40] <Barkley> gui lvm tool in ubuntu?  gparted works?
[08:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Ropechoborra:  please explain your problem, did you delete that other partition like we talked about
[08:40] <greddy> you just said 2 gigs was to much :P
[08:40] <ome> Jack_Sparrow: last thing i installed was xchm
[08:40] <nofx_br> Jack_Sparrow: i read somewhere that ram + swap should be  more then 512... so no much need with 1 gb
[08:40] <Jack_Sparrow> greddy: for some people
[08:41] <HackerX> Hey, Whats the command for a wireless scan???
[08:41] <nofx_br> i have 2 gb ram and put 400mb on swap
[08:41] <WooD> Hi ! any of you are able to play asx file frome Ubuntu ? I have install MPlayer and tried to open an URL: .... http://www.nasa.gov/55644main_NASATV_Windows.asx  and it gives me an error
[08:41] <Jack_Sparrow> greddy: you can go as low as one but that is too tight
[08:41] <greddy> okay
[08:41] <greddy> ill stay with 2 then
[08:41] <WooD> the error is : Couldn't resolve name for AF_INET6
[08:42] <ome> Jack_Sparrow: Can I update from terminal and get find out whats crashing it?
[08:42] <greddy> this is funny i am chatting in irc while installing :D
[08:42] <Ropechoborra> Jack_Sparrow I had 3 partitions, hda1 (ntfs) hda3 (linux) hda5(ntfs) y deleted hda5 and resize hda3.. but somehow there is no free space in hda3 !! :S check http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17364
[08:42] <Foobal> WooD: open the .asx in text editor and use one of the urls from inside with mplayer
[08:42] <K^Holtz> is it safe to say that firestarter is the best firewall software without having to know how to write iptables? does anyone have an opinion of something better?
[08:42] <Jack_Sparrow> nofx_br: IF your box goes to hibernate and tries to write all RAM to hard drive you need at least that much.  He has 1 gig of ram
[08:42] <nooby_god> I just tried out ubuntu for a month and I found a few things that irked me, does anyone want to her my complains? (perhaps to make ubuntu better?)
[08:42] <WooD> Foobal:  like what address ?
[08:43] <Jack_Sparrow> ome term apt-get update
[08:43] <nooby_god> 1there is no good prism2 integration (no different then using Gentoo), there is a bug for tat
[08:44] <nooby_god> 2. Ubuntu is not good because it suffers from debains problem too, you can't always have the latest version
[08:44] <greddy> anyone have a good link to what exactly mount points are?
[08:44] <greddy> i have my 2 gig partition set to swap
[08:44] <nooby_god> I cannot get Inkscape 0.44 or Amaork 1.4.1
[08:44] <greddy> and my 17 gig set to /
[08:44] <nooby_god> greddy you do not mount swap
[08:44] <ome> Jack_sparrow: I just did sudo apt-get update and it didnt crash. Does that tell us anything?
[08:44] <nooby_god> just activate it
[08:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Ropechoborra: hda3 is 6 gig correct?
[08:44] <Bazzi> nooby_god: yes you can get amarok1.4.1
[08:45] <Bazzi> don't know about inkscape though
[08:45] <greddy> what do you mean dont mount swap?
[08:45] <nooby_god> Bazzi from a supported respitory?
[08:45] <Ropechoborra> Jack_Sparrow right .. but those are full... Dont know why.. if there r new :S
[08:45] <Sanne> nooby_god, it's by design. If you want to always get the latest software, ubuntu might not be for you. Ubuntu is meant to be stable for 6 months.
[08:45] <nooby_god> greddy you don't mount swap
[08:45] <erUSUL> nooby_god: any distro suffers from that...
[08:45] <Bazzi> nooby_god: yes, from the kubuntu.org repository
[08:45] <gnomefreak> nooby_god: inscape is not in a repo that i know of (atleast that version) as for amarok you need to add the amarok repo to your sources.list file to get 1.4.1
[08:45] <nooby_god> erUSUL, not gentoo
[08:45] <greddy> okay so in the prepare mount screen on the install
[08:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Ropechoborra:  IS it full or was it just never formatted for use
[08:45] <BIAF> apt-get install sendmail - is failing, any other ways to get send mail
[08:45] <greddy> what should i have selected?
[08:45] <nooby_god> greddy you mount a partition if you want to access it
[08:46] <gnomefreak> BIAF: what is the failure notice?
[08:46] <nooby_god> greddy don't ask me I'm new to Ubuntu
[08:46] <Ropechoborra> Jack_Sparrow the 2Gbs partition was full, then i resize it to 6gbs
[08:46] <Jack_Sparrow> ome what happened when you typed that
[08:46] <Ropechoborra> 3gbs are supoused to be in blank
[08:46] <Pupeno> Which would you say is a better bet, the pre-packaged Ati drivers or the ati.com's one for a Radeon x1300 ?
[08:46] <BIAF> gnomefreak : e: package sendmail has no installation candidate
[08:47] <gnomefreak> !info sendmail
[08:47] <ubotu> sendmail: powerful, efficient, and scalable Mail Transport Agent. In repository universe, is extra. Version 8.13.5-3ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 188 kB, installed size 244 kB
[08:47] <greddy> i have 3 paritions : programs (17gig), swap (2gig), storage (50gig) what should i have setup in the mount points screen?
[08:47] <gnomefreak> BIAF: enable universe repo
[08:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Ropechoborra:  delete hda3 DONT RESIZE it
[08:47] <erUSUL> nooby_god: even gentoo has a stable version out of date. debian has inestable too with inkscape 0.44 and amarok 1.4.whatever. it is just that gentoo users run the inestable version always
[08:47] <ome> Jack_Sparrow: bunch of get, hit and fetch lines
[08:47] <Ropechoborra> Jack_Sparrow but.. i will loose my linux =/ isnt other way?
[08:47] <BIAF> freak : wheres the file to un-rem the lines
[08:47] <nooby_god> greddy do you know what a mount point is?
[08:47] <greddy> no clue :P
[08:47] <gnomefreak> BIAF: /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:48] <BIAF> thx
[08:48] <ome> Jack_Sparrow: the packet manager greyed out for a bit but its back to orange nagging 3 updates available
[08:48] <gnomefreak> BIAF: easy way gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:48] <gnomefreak> !repos > BIAF
[08:48] <Jack_Sparrow> rpoe you can tar your linux install then repair hda3 and untar it
[08:48] <Jack_Sparrow> !backup
[08:48] <ubotu> I know nothing about backup
[08:48] <gnomefreak> also your pm has a real easy way
[08:48] <HackerX> ***Hey is there a way to create a link on the desktop to run a wireless scan???***
[08:48] <BIAF> thx, was going to do gksudo nautilus

[08:49] <Ropechoborra> Thanks!
[08:49] <nooby_god> greddy are you here
[08:49] <Jack_Sparrow> ome:  you may need to repair your sources list
[08:49] <NKayhan> hey, I'm having trouble getting the mplayer pluggin to work in firefox/opera
[08:49] <Jack_Sparrow> brb
[08:50] <ome> Jack_Sparrow how do i got about that?
[08:50] <Barkley> is there a newbie tool in gnome for LVM? :D
[08:50] <greddy> nooby_god: can you see my pms?
[08:50] <NKayhan> I've done the stuff in synaptic, but firefox doesn't recognize it
[08:50] <jrib> NKayhan: I can try to help you out in firefox, I hear it's tricky in opera
[08:50] <nooby_god> greddy nope, you need to be registared on freenode
[08:50] <greddy> i don't think you can see my replys
[08:50] <greddy> yeah
[08:50] <greddy> i can see what you type
[08:50] <nooby_god> greddy a mount point is basicly this
[08:51] <NKayhan> jrib: let's just do firefox then
[08:51] <nooby_god> you have / right? and under / you have many many folders like /usr or /var or /bin
[08:51] <jrib> NKayhan: ok, you installed mozilla-mplayer and then restarted firefox?
[08:51] <nooby_god> or you have /mnt/win
[08:51] <NKayhan> jrib: yes
[08:51] <greddy> yup
[08:51] <nooby_god> basicly a mount point is where you can access the other partitions
[08:51] <nooby_god> so I have a mount point called /win
[08:52] <ome> Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d17367
[08:52] <nooby_god> there I can access my windows partition
[08:52] <jrib> NKayhan: can you pastebin the contents of 'about:plugins' after you enter that in your address bar?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[08:52] <nooby_god> so /dev/hda1 is mounted at /dev/win
[08:52] <greddy> well on the installation screen it tells me that i need to pick a mount for my swap which is the confusion i think
[08:52] <nooby_god> */win not /dev/win
[08:52] <tylerortman> hello all, I have a quick, probably obvious question about licensing--I've looked around more than I'd like to admit but can't find exactly what i'm looking for
[08:53] <nooby_god> greddy I'm new to Ubuntu, I've only used the installer once, and I didn't pay attention
[08:53] <greddy> so can i do "/" as my installation mount and then do "/home" as my storage mount?
[08:53] <stephan__> i need help scripting anyone good
[08:53] <tylerortman> I'm looking for the exact wording of the licensing that should go onto a liveCD, distributed publicly
[08:53] <nickwebcouk> how can i format a drive as bootable in ubuntu
[08:53] <greddy> what about "/boot"?
[08:54] <nooby_god> greddy you can do that
[08:54] <greddy> there are a few others to
[08:54] <greddy> any links to specifics?
[08:54] <nooby_god> greddy it's a good idea for security to keep /boot on a different partition
[08:54] <greddy> ermmm heh k
[08:54] <nooby_god> if / is screwed up, you can still access the kernel
[08:55] <nickwebcouk> ne1?
[08:55] <NKayhan> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17368
[08:55] <nooby_god> I have three storage partitions, one for /, one for /home and /win
[08:55] <greddy> ermmm k
[08:55] <greddy> well this comp wont have windows
[08:55] <greddy> so i'm gonna give this a shot
[08:55] <alex_> how opens the C compiler???
[08:56] <greddy> installing now :>
[08:56] <WooD> I still cant open Stream file from the www.nasa.org.. Im coming desperate.... someone told me to install MPlayer and install the essentiel codecs to /usr/lib/win32.. i did  and does not work either....
[08:56] <Barkley> anyone know if there's a GUI front end for LVM in gnome?
[08:56] <nooby_god> greddy are you new to linux?
[08:56] <greddy> bah the installer just crashed :/
[08:56] <greddy> yes i am
[08:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !gnu
[08:56] <ubotu> G(NU's) N(ot) U(nix). A project that aimed to develop a complete operating system of Free Software, which Ubuntu is based on. See http://gnu.org
[08:56] <WooD> I want to be able to play one of those file from this website .. http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/
[08:57] <jrib> NKayhan: do you have mozilla-plugin-vlc installed?
[08:57] <Sub> !dma
[08:57] <ubotu> dma is Direct Memory Access/Addressing.  It makes hard disks run faster,  see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DMA
[08:57] <NKayhan> jrib: yes
[08:57] <nooby_god> greddy I personally suggest reading the help docs and some parts of the wiki that pertain to you before doing anything
[08:57] <braim> hi everyone
[08:57] <alex_> how opens the C compiler???
[08:57] <jrib> NKayhan: remove it, I think it's taking precedence over mplayer's
[08:57] <greddy> yeah i read a bit i guess ill read a bit more
[08:57] <NKayhan> jrib: OK
[08:57] <nooby_god> reading docs is the most important part of linux
[08:57] <kike> hola
[08:57] <nooby_god> !sp
[08:57] <ubotu> I know nothing about sp
[08:57] <a_l_e> alex_: with a screw driver...
[08:57] <braim> I need some help with an external drive. Can anyone help me ?
[08:57] <tsume> nooby_god: not really
[08:58] <a_l_e> alex_: a can opener?
[08:58] <Jack_Sparrow> greddy: Why not just let Ubuntu handle the partitions ..
[08:58] <Sanne> alex_, you use it from the command line.
[08:58] <tsume> nooby_god: being knowledable and knowing how to think is more important
[08:58] <kike> ekiga no me reconoce el mic
[08:58] <greddy> bah the installer crashed now all my drives are locked or something :/
[08:58] <nooby_god> tsume you can only be knowledgeable if you read docs
[08:58] <tsume> nooby_god: not really
[08:58] <a_l_e> alex_: i guess you want to compile something with gcc... i'm right?
[08:58] <alex_> yes
[08:58] <braim> no one ?
[08:59] <a_l_e> alex_: it's something you downloaded or did you write the code?
[08:59] <SonicChao> greddy: You're Ubuntu installer crashed?
[08:59] <tsume> nooby_god: I haven't read any docs, I just know how  to use programs because I modify the sources so much ;)
[08:59] <NKayhan> jrib: WOOT IT WORKS
[08:59] <alex_> what i have to type in terminal to open compiler?
[08:59] <jrib> NKayhan: great
[08:59] <kike> alguien habla espaol?
[08:59] <alex_> i download it
[08:59] <SonicChao> !es
[08:59] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[08:59] <Jowi> !es
[08:59] <a_l_e> alex_: probably, yes you need the terminal...
[08:59] <SonicChao> Jowi: Already done. :)
[08:59] <a_l_e> alex_: ... but you don't need to launch gcc to compile a program.
[08:59] <NKayhan> jrib: thnx man, I thought putting both on would help, bye
[08:59] <Jowi> SonicChao: beaten by 0.2 seconds. *sob*
[09:00] <a_l_e> alex_: i guess you should give us/me some more details before i can tell you what you should do...
[09:00] <alex_> how i can do it
[09:00] <alex_> ok
[09:00] <Sanne> braim, better just describe your problem. If somebody knows, I'm sure you'll get help.
[09:00] <SonicChao> Jowi: lol ;)
[09:00] <alex_> what you want to know?
[09:00] <a_l_e> ... but most of the time, reading the README file in the package you downloaded will answer a lot of question!
[09:00] <mdasilva> ?
[09:00] <SonicChao> greddy: Are you still here...?
[09:00] <MacSlow> Greetings everybody!
[09:00] <a_l_e> alex_: what are you trying to do? what do you want to compile/install?
[09:00] <SonicChao> !hi
[09:00] <ubotu> I know nothing about hi
[09:00] <LeaChim> braim, what's your problem with your external drive?
[09:01] <SonicChao> Darn...the ops didn't add my "hi" factoid
[09:01] <SonicChao> :(
[09:01] <alex_> i have a problem with wine
[09:01] <MacSlow> I wonder what possible legal issues are involved in using the ubuntu-logo (with link) to pimp it on ones site.
[09:01] <SonicChao> alex_: what is it?
[09:01] <alex_> i download a source bagfix
[09:01] <alex_> and i have to compile it
[09:01] <recn> hey all... have a question about initrd. i need stdin while in initrd.  "tty" tells me im using /dev/console.  tried installing usbcore and usbhid and i still get nothing from my kbd. what am i doing wrong?
[09:02] <a_l_e> alex_: i guess that you have to compile the whole wine, then!
[09:02] <alex_> it is a text with c
[09:02] <braim> oh sorry leaChim :-) I pluged it but the owner is not the root and i'd like to change that.
[09:02] <braim> :-)
[09:02] <alex_> no
[09:02] <alex_> just the bagfix
[09:02] <alex_> i have a problem with WoW
[09:02] <tsume> I like how people steal the ubuntu logo, its halarious
[09:02] <tsume> I seen it being used as menu bullets on a website
[09:03] <a_l_e> alex_: "bugfix
[09:03] <alex_> yes
[09:03] <sysrpl> hello
[09:03] <SonicChao> !wow
[09:03] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[09:03] <AutoPilo1> hi again, I gave up on installing my linksys wusb54gsv2 wireless on ubuntu, I need to purchase a wireless adapter, usb or pci, from best buy, anyone can give me a definite answer which product would work on ubuntu amd64? I searched prism2 and didn't find a straight forward answer
[09:03] <a_l_e> alex_: can you give me a linke to the bugfix?
[09:03] <sysrpl> what's the best ubuntu/kubuntu cd burning package?
[09:03] <TSWoodV> Hello!  What's the current story for NetworkManager and WPA/WPA2 with Atheros chipsets on 6.06?  Still SOL?
[09:03] <J-_> How can I get permission to write to  my external Hard drive from linux?
[09:03] <tsume> sysrpl: k3b
[09:03] <alex_> yes wait
[09:03] <alex_> http://kaspersandberg.com/~redeeman/winestuff/wine-wow-fixes-0.9.16.patch
[09:03] <Jack_Sparrow> sysrpl: i LIKE k3B
[09:03] <Oarchimondeo> test
[09:03] <sysrpl> tsume: i have k3b, thanks ... i was just wondering if it was the best
[09:04] <Cyberai> I am having I am having a serious sound problem here folks, no matter what I do I can't get sound working in Dapper. Everything worked in Breezy. I even tried doing a "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp" as root and get nothing.
[09:04] <Cyberai> someone please help me here
[09:04] <tsume> TSWoodV: tell ya what, pay some money, and someone will develop all your needs ;)
[09:04] <Jowi> J-_: what is the system type on it?
[09:04] <tsume> sysrpl: yep, pretty much it is.
[09:04] <a_l_e> alex_: i don't think that you have a binary patch which you can apply to wine. i think that you have to apply the patch (with diff) to the source code, and then install from the source (./configure && make && make install)
[09:04] <grenegar> test
[09:04] <TSWoodV> tsume:  Now, why would I want to do that? ;-)
[09:04] <J-_> ntfs. that was the only option
[09:04] <Oarchimondeo> Hi, I just ordered some Ubuntu install disks online, never used anything but Windows before, any tips?
[09:04] <tsume> sysrpl: if you're making video cds and such, there is vitod or whatever it is
[09:04] <sysrpl> i am downloading partition magic because when i instealled the live cd setup only allocated 4GB of drive space for ubuntu
[09:04] <Foobal> J-_: ntfstools.
[09:04] <sysrpl> the rest is ntfs
[09:04] <Jowi> J-_: not sure if ntfs write support is stable. maybe someone else ?
[09:05] <tsume> TSWoodV: well then you're still SOL. Developers have to eat too :) so, wheres the money? ;)
[09:05] <J-_> Foobal: thanks.
[09:05] <braim> no ntfs write support is still experimental ;-)
[09:05] <J-_> d'oh
[09:05] <Zambezi> Can any help me with tct? I'm too stressed to even think!
[09:05] <TSWoodV> tsume: In my pockets - we network admins/DBAs have to eat too!
[09:05] <AutoPilo1> please help, haven't slept in 2 days, i really need this,  a dapper compatible wireless adapter, usb or pci or anything
[09:05] <Jack_Sparrow> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[09:05] <alex_> what is diff??
[09:05] <TSWoodV> tsume: And there's the small matter of the wife and three kids...
[09:05] <tsume> TSWoodV: well then I guess you're sol ;)
[09:05] <braim> it works but not really stable. I tried it once and I had to format a partition completely :-)
[09:06] <Jowi> alex_: diff compares files
[09:06] <J-_> so, when will it be a non-experimental package =D
[09:06] <a_l_e> alex_: it's a source diff file. i really think that you have to have to whole source code for wine, apply the patch to it and install from there. i don't know if it's something you are ready to do!
[09:06] <Sanne> Zambezi, what is tct?
[09:06] <Jack_Sparrow> J-_: When it works and stops trashing NTFS systems
[09:06] <TSWoodV> tsume: True, that!
[09:06] <ome> Jack_Sparrow: can you point me someone I can start figuring out how to repair sourcelist?
[09:06] <Zambezi> Sanne, Recoveryapplication.
[09:06] <alex_> ohh
[09:06] <tsume> funny FreeBSD had support 3 years then linux for ntfs write, it even had read support before :)
[09:06] <ome> Jack_Sparrow: Somewhere*
[09:06] <Jack_Sparrow> ome:  there was a link someone had for rebuilding source list
[09:06] <nooby_god> AutoPilo1 there are a lot of linux compatible wireless cards
[09:07] <Sanne> Zambezi, thanks. Don't know it then, though.
[09:07] <nooby_god> some of them are just harder to set up then others :/
[09:07] <TSWoodV> tsume: Those BSD playas got no fear, that's why! ;-)
[09:07] <tsume> the only thing about ntfs which is hard to implement is the encrypted folders :)
[09:07] <Jack_Sparrow> ome:  google rebuilding source.lst
[09:07] <tsume> TSWoodV: yeah well :) you seen the article on trolldot about openbsd's wifi drivers being much better ;)
[09:07] <sysrpl> crap
[09:07] <J-_> that's pretty much what's stopping me from going full-tilt into linux )-=
[09:07] <sysrpl> i have to reboot to windows
[09:07] <Jowi> J-_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NTFSReadWrite for more info
[09:07] <alex_> thanks a_l_e
[09:07] <J-_> damn you windows
[09:07] <Jack_Sparrow> J-_: When it works and stops trashing NTFS systems or when Microsoft gives out full specs on it..
[09:07] <tsume> sysrpl: qemu all the way
[09:08] <a_l_e> alex_: but it's not black magic. you can do it, there is nothing very difficult with applying this patch. but you have to be confortable with using the terminal, spend some time to understand what is difff and how it works...
[09:08] <TSWoodV> tsume: Whatever those guys set their sights on gets done really well - openssh, anyone?
[09:08] <sysrpl> what is qemu?
[09:08] <sysrpl> i need to run partition magic
[09:08] <alex_> ok tnx
[09:08] <tsume> sysrpl: a very fast emulator, the latest release rocks.
[09:08] <a_l_e> ... and then lern how to configure // install some source code.
[09:08] <SGershon> Hi all.
[09:08] <Raito> So I have ubuntu, and I installed the 'kubuntu-desktop' and 'xubuntu-desktop', my bootsplash changed to kubuntu and gdm to xubuntu, any way I can change then both to ubuntu?
[09:08] <flankk> Anyone know of a way to enable compiz drop shadows on ARGB visuals?
[09:08] <tsume> sysrpl: headles operation with VNC support
[09:08] <sysrpl> hrm
[09:08] <SGershon> I'm really enjoying dapper. Cool.
[09:08] <sysrpl> i wonder if it will run partition magic?
[09:08] <sysrpl> ah
[09:09] <sysrpl> i better just reboot
[09:09] <TSWoodV> sysrpl: Ditch partition magic - try gparted instead.
[09:09] <Jowi> nice SGershon :)
[09:09] <tsume> sysrpl: you're using partition magic? :D
[09:09] <a_l_e> ok, going to bed, now! good night!
[09:09] <sorush20> I'm having problems with installing build-essentials in  dchroot -c mychroot -d
[09:09] <SGershon> sysrpl: why don't you use gparted?
[09:09] <SGershon> sysrpl: It is very easy to use.
[09:09] <sysrpl> well when i installed ubuntu the in staller only gave me a 4GB partition
[09:09] <Barkley> SGershon --- is there an equiv tool for LVM?
[09:09] <sysrpl> is that the package name? gparted?
[09:09] <sorush20> I keep being prompted for password to use with sudo but the password is incorrect.. I have followed this how to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot
[09:09] <J-_> think i'm just going to wait until i can get a stable version of fuse
[09:10] <TSWoodV> Anyone here able to recompile the kernel from the Ubuntu linux-source package on dapper?  I get errors trying make-kpkg on some of the modules.
[09:10] <Raito> sysrpl: don't install a package, use the live CD, or when you install 'edit partition tables manually'
[09:10] <Jowi> sysrpl: yep, it is the package name.
[09:10] <TSWoodV> sysrpl: That's it - gparted
[09:10] <sysrpl> i already tried that
[09:10] <SGershon> sysrpl: Yes. You must run it as root (sudo -s). Look for it on Synaptics.
[09:10] <grenegar> ubotu, ati > me
[09:10] <Raito> but you can't really use gparted when you aren't on a live cd because you need to unmount everything dont you?
[09:10] <sysrpl> sudo aptitude install gparted
[09:11] <sysrpl> what's the difference between apt-get and aptitude?
[09:11] <Jowi> Raito: you can not modify a mounted disk.
[09:11] <sorush20> ubotu ait > me
[09:11] <ubotu> I know nothing about ait
[09:11] <SGershon> Raito: You only have to unmount what you need to change.
[09:11] <SGershon> sysrpl: In order to install it, you can just open Synaptics.
[09:11] <Raito> well, it is just easier on a live CD because nothing is mounted in the first place >_<
[09:11] <Jowi> sysrpl: apt-get and aptitude and synaptics are all frontends for apt
[09:11] <sysrpl> i already ran "sudo aptitude install gparted"
[09:11] <grenegar> ubotu ati > me
[09:12] <tylerortman> quick, stupid question: anybody have a good link to complete license agreements for Ubuntu? i'm looking for language to put on the packaging of lot of copies of the liveCD
[09:12] <grenegar> !search gparted
[09:12] <ubotu> Found: gparted, disks
[09:13] <SGershon> My question is actually on GParted. How can I create an extended partition in order to contain other partitions? Any time I press "New", I've got an error asking me to create an extended instead of primary one.
[09:13] <sysrpl> shit, gparted wont le me resize my main ext3 partition
[09:13] <bbrazil> tylerortman: it's a long, long list
[09:14] <eCokeNCod> jeeze i'm getting some lag out of this world
[09:14] <scott__> hey, im trying to setup grub to boot back into a windows xp parition i have, it is on hda2. i have looked at howto on ubuntuforums but when i tried it said it couldnt boot into it, so im guessing i set the root parition wrong on it? i set it to root(hd0,2) (although it comes up as hda3 iirc in fdisk
[09:14] <SGershon> sysrpl: It is hard to unmount the partition you are working on. Try te Live-CD.
[09:14] <eCokeNCod> how much bandwidth does ssh ned ?
[09:14] <POVaddct> SGershon: if gparted is too stupid, why not using cfdisk or fdisk?
[09:14] <cougem> i i've got a kde program running in gnome which uses fake transparency by using the kde background as its background. but, coz im in gnome it can't find my current background for the transparency. is there any way i can get around it?
[09:14] <sysrpl> maybe i need to aplly a change to my ntfs first
[09:14] <eCokeNCod> *need
[09:14] <brainsik> so, i'm trying to install ubuntu. i'd like to be able to get to the boot: prompt so i can try passing some options in. how the heck do i get to it from this graphical screen?
[09:14] <cougem> like set some variable with the path to my background?
[09:14] <kaot> I notice /var/cache/apt/archives is taking up nearly a GB of space.  I seem to recall it's good form to keep that stuff laying around, to some extent, to conserve bandwidth to the repos.  How often can I clean that up?
[09:15] <tsume> *gag* Can't... breath.. noobs.. taking.. too.. much.. air..
[09:15] <nooby_god> kaot I clear that all the time
[09:15] <SGershon> POVaddct: fdisk is a bit hard. I may try cfdisk.
[09:15] <kaot> fair nuff.  Off it goes.  Thanks
[09:15] <tylerortman> bbrazil: is there no official wording to put on something like that?
[09:15] <nooby_god> tsume get out of the chan if you don't like noobs
[09:15] <brainsik> kaot: i keep Clean-Installed "false" in my apt.conf and use apt-get autoclean every now and then
[09:15] <tsume> TSWoodV: I wish there was a ubuntu-advanced channel
[09:16] <nooby_god> remember Ubuntu is now concidered an enerty point to linux
[09:16] <brainsik> that will keep around only the packages of the currently installed set
[09:16] <nooby_god> tsume join #gentoo for advanced stuff
[09:16] <TSWoodV> Another curveball:  Anyone here reenable the firmware for a Keyspan USB to serial adapter?  Seems that Debian doesn't like the fact that these beasts require closed-source firmware to kickstart.
[09:16] <tsume> nooby_god: I know. I'm just used to having intresting discussions in channels like #freebsd
[09:16] <brainsik> kaot: generally i'll run the autoclean before an upgrade
[09:16] <tsume> nooby_god: are you kidding me.. thats like kiddie central.
[09:16] <kaot> brainsik: I see
[09:16] <tsume> list #ubuntu-*
[09:16] <TSWoodV> So they created a driver for these Keyspan boxes without the firmware.  Useless.  Completely useless.
[09:17] <brainsik> kaot: then you can roll back if something breaks
[09:17] <bbrazil> tylerortman: I don't think so. Usually you make something up like 'You are free to use and copy this CD at no charge'
[09:17] <tsume> grr to freenode limitations
[09:17] <bbrazil> tylerortman: if ompaul is around he has some good text
[09:17] <brainsik> kaot: that's on debian, though. i'm trying to install ubuntu right now and getting nowhere.
[09:17] <Barkley> kaot hey is there a decent lvm tool with a gui?
[09:17] <SGershon> tsume: if there was an ubuntu-advanced channel, there would be many noobs on it as well. I would be there, at least -- even if only listening... ;)
[09:17] <kaot> brainsik: bummer
[09:17] <TSWoodV> tsume: Yep - an advanced ubuntu channel would be nice.  Don't see that happening, however.  Glad to see the n00bs here though.  n00bs => growth in Linux usage, a Really Good Thing (tm).
[09:18] <kaot> Barkley: dunno.  haven't played with lvm at all
[09:18] <grenegar> !search n00b
[09:18] <ubotu> Found nothing
[09:18] <tsume> TSWoodV: I'm a network admin, my type of chat is implementation, programming, etc. Not support
[09:18] <TSWoodV> ubotu needs to look around a bit...
[09:18] <ubotu> I know nothing about needs to look around a bit...
[09:18] <greddy> is it a common problem to have all sorts of distortion on buttons?
[09:18] <brainsik> !search boot:
[09:18] <ubotu> Found nothing
[09:18] <kaot> brainsik: this is my first debian-based distro so i haven't done anything with apt before now.  kind of trying to figure this out on the fly.
[09:18] <greddy> i guess maybe i should find some non generic drivers
[09:19] <tsume> SGershon: listening would be fine, but any noob questions would get the person kicked
[09:19] <TSWoodV> tsume: Network admin/research for the most part here.
[09:19] <brainsik> well if you want to do what i'm doing, you can create /etc/apt/apt.conf and put this in it:
[09:19] <tsume> hmm, a name.
[09:19] <brainsik> APT {
[09:19] <brainsik>         Clean-Installed "false";
[09:19] <brainsik> };
[09:19] <tsume> hmm
[09:19] <tylerortman> bbrazil: thanks. sorry to be a bother, just trying to spread the joy.
[09:19] <TSWoodV> tsume: Not kicked, rejoined here.
[09:19] <tsume> I got it
[09:20] <tsume> #ubuntu-tech - discussions for people who are advanced.
[09:20] <tsume> ;)
[09:20] <neighborlee> has anyone had trouble trying to install VLC ?? ;-
[09:21] <neighborlee> im getting dep errors with libdbus
[09:21] <neighborlee> vlc: Depends: libdbus-1-1 (>= 0.36.2) but it is not going to be installed
[09:21] <neighborlee> E: Broken packages
[09:21] <neighborlee> any idea ? ;)
[09:23] <bbrazil> tylerortman: check a CD from shipit if you have one
[09:23] <loko555> does anyone know how i can disable sound in firefox. cause the sound is very loud and not adjustable with the system-sound-mixer
[09:23] <ome> Jack_Sparrow: The crash occures just by opening packet manager, even when i dont click anything. Could it still be source.lst?
[09:23] <sysrpl> uhm
[09:23] <bbrazil> tylerortman: here's one "You are legally free t copy, modify and redistribute this DVD."
[09:24] <sysrpl> gparted wont allow me to resize my linux partition
[09:24] <ToHellWithGA> what is a "dummy package"?
[09:25] <ToHellWithGA> sysrpl: boot with a live CD then resize the partition
[09:25] <ToHellWithGA> parted can't resize an active partition, and the very act of running parted from your / partition makes it active
[09:25] <brainsik> Does anyone know how to get to the boot: prompt from the install disc?
[09:25] <tylerortman> bbrazil: seems like I should give GPL a shout-out...it's a CD packaged w/a book
[09:25] <Barkley> so is ext3 recommend even for big mp3 drives?
[09:25] <sysrpl> i already did that, and it didn't resize my partition
[09:25] <kaot> brainsik: ctrl-alt-F1?  haven't had to do it myself
[09:25] <kaot> i'd try that tho
[09:26] <brainsik> okay, i'll try that
[09:26] <Foobal> tylerortman: how you suppose you can say the disc is GPL when not all the applications on it are definitely not GPL
[09:26] <Jowi> neighborlee: just tried it and it works fine. maybe you have conflicting apt sources?
[09:26] <loko555> does anyone know how i can disable sound in firefox. cause the sound is very loud and not adjustable with the system-sound-mixer?
[09:26] <ToHellWithGA> Foobal: let's see how many negatives we can but in a sentence :P
[09:27] <ToHellWithGA> loko555: have you tried about:config ?
[09:27] <brainsik> kaot: yeah, doesn't work.. forgot i already tried that for F1-10 :)
[09:27] <jrib> loko555: if you double click on the sound icon in gnome and change the pcm volume does that affect it?
[09:27] <baumer> apache2.conf is missing on my 'puter, what package provides it?
[09:27] <sorush20> guys after installing the debootstrap.. and using the  dchroot -c mychroot -d , will I still be asked for the root password?
[09:27] <loko555> ToHellWithGA: where to look there?
[09:27] <Foobal> yeah
[09:28] <kaot> brainsik: doh.  I tried the install disk to upgrade to dapper, where i learned of that bug where it crashes if you want to leave your partitions intact, and did it through upgrade manager instead
[09:28] <loko555> jrib: this does no affect
[09:28] <kaot> so i didn't do a whole lot with the 6.06 installer
[09:28] <ToHellWithGA> loko555: you can type "about:config" where you'd type a URL in firefox and then search for options to toggle
[09:28] <loko555> jrib: this is not normal i guess?
[09:28] <loko555> ToHellWithGA: i know what about:config is, but i didn
[09:28] <brainsik> kaot: at least you can get to the upgrade manager :)
[09:29] <cntb> what is the difference between gksudo and sudo
[09:29] <jrib> loko555: is this sound from flash?  or actually from firefox (like search errors for example)
[09:29] <loko555> ToHellWithGA: i know what about:config is, but i didn't find anything according to the sound
[09:29] <jrib> cntb: gksudo plays nice with the gui
[09:29] <slugicide> Is there a special repository for getting Opera 9, 'cause I can't see it?
[09:29] <cntb> I ran gksudo gparted what if I did sudo gparted?
[09:29] <ToHellWithGA> that's my best guess loko555.  good luck to ya
[09:29] <loko555> jrib: i think it is flash
[09:29] <loko555> ToHellWithGA: thx
[09:30] <cntb> 10x jrib
[09:30] <stephan__> how would i do a shell script of ----- if the $? is anything other than 0 list its error
[09:30] <tylerortman> Foobal: i know I can't...that's why I'm looking for the official line on this
[09:30] <ToHellWithGA> 6x7=42
[09:30] <ToHellWithGA> cntb: what's the 10x about?
[09:31] <cntb> serious  question ToHellWithGA ???????/
[09:31] <jrib> loko555: yeah for me pcm controls the flash volume, you can run 'alsamixer' in a terminal and see all of the possibilites
[09:31] <GianLuigiBuffon> how can I kill a frozen program on wine?
[09:31] <jrib> ToHellWithGA: ten-x thx thanks

[09:31] <jrattner1> My current vehicle is an interstellar star ship...
[09:32] <cntb> OK
[09:32] <jrib> GianLuigiBuffon: do you know that realplayer can run on linux without wine?
[09:32] <GianLuigiBuffon> jrib didn't know xDD but now how I kill it?
[09:32] <loko555> jrib: i tried it, but maybe it is a problem cause i have intel high definition audio in the notebook, i'll keep on trying, thank you
[09:32] <stephan__> Jack_Sparrow, ty
[09:32] <slugicide> Is there a special repository for getting Opera 9, 'cause I can't see it?
[09:32] <jrib> GianLuigiBuffon: try running 'xkill' in a terminal and then click on it
[09:32] <feugan3333> hello, My notification-daemon seems broken. It says that I have 3 updates but when I click on it, it says "downloading package infromation" and the gui dissappears (crashed?)
[09:32] <GianLuigiBuffon> ty
[09:32] <Foobal> tylerortman: official? then you'll most likely hit all kinds of fundamentalists (especially the kernel developers).. you're better off just providing everything with "as-is" license and getting rid of the responsibilities
[09:33] <feugan3333> Anyone know about such a problem?

[09:41] <HackerX> jme not sure how to do that, is there a way to make it run a scan every 5 or 10 secs or is there a tool already out that does that?
[09:41] <jme> Ubuntu has a builkt-in utility for that
[09:41] <nicktk1> meq20dch2179
[09:41] <Jowi> Phoul: if you do "dpkg -S libXrender.la" do you get any results?

[09:41] <jme> HackerX: have you tried Network Manager?
[09:41] <HackerX> hmm

[09:42] <mc_____> how to activate auto-login ?

[10:01] <Phoul> libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libXrender.la' is not a valid libtool archive
[10:01] <Jowi> Phoul: dapper or breezy?
[10:01] <Phoul> dapper

[10:02] <Phoul> gnomefreak, can you pm me when your done? Im also looking so im not paying a ton of attention
[10:02] <gnomefreak> Phoul: i will if i find anything
[10:04] <ubuntu> hallo
[10:05] <sloucher> i locked myself out of sudo. I ran something like usermod -G fuse user, and now i'm only in the fuse group. How acan I get back to being sudo
[10:05] <gnomefreak> Phoul: Jowi what arch?
[10:05] <Phoul> umm
[10:05] <Phoul> i686?
[10:06] <Phoul> i guess... i386
[10:06] <brainsik> sloucher: hmmm.. bad situation
[10:06] <SlyFly> Is there anyone here who can help me with multimedia support?  This is not about restricted formats.
[10:06] <sloucher> lol thanks brainsik
[10:06] <Phoul> x86
[10:06] <brainsik> sloucher: you might need to boot via rescue mode and edit the groups file by hand
[10:06] <SimzI> How do I install a GDM screen!?
[10:06] <mingo> hi
[10:06] <sloucher> yeah, sounds good
[10:06] <kbrooks> SlyFly: ask
[10:06] <whiter> anyone know why mpd isnt working
[10:06] <gnomefreak> lol
[10:07] <mingo> how can I open a .deb archive ?
[10:07] <whiter> it just stopped working, i tried two differnet clients on it but it i snt working
[10:07] <Phoul> whiter, what clients?
[10:07] <thenuke> I wonder what I should install or reinstall to get these flash-videos working :o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxkr4wS7XqY
[10:07] <brainsik> sloucher: its /etc/group (in case you don't know)
[10:07] <Phoul> And have you configured mpd correctly?
[10:07] <whiter> ncmpc, and glurp Phoul
[10:07] <SlyFly> kbrooks, Totem won't display videos properly...it seems to be playing the videos, but it won't actually display them...I have to move around the window for me to see different scenes, but videos aren't "flowing properly."
[10:07] <thenuke> they did work before, but then I apparently messed something up :)
[10:07] <zenit> mingo: dpkg -x <archive>, I guess.
[10:07] <gnomefreak> Phoul: when installing its looking for that lib?
[10:07] <mingo> in the console ?
[10:07] <Phoul> when compiling
[10:08] <gnomefreak> ah
[10:08] <gnomefreak> figues
[10:08] <gnomefreak> figures
[10:08] <zedo> hi
[10:08] <SlyFly> Why can't Totem just have the videos appear in the way they're supposed to appear...from the first second to the last.  All I see is a dark screen.
[10:08] <whiter> and when i try to connect it says unable to, timed out but when i "netstat" i can see mpd running correctly
[10:08] <whiter> as well as ps -A, that works too the clients just cant seem to connect to it anymore
[10:08] <SlyFly> When playing videos with Totem, I get a dark screen...why?
[10:09] <jamie_> hi
[10:09] <jamie_> i need help to mount another drive i have installed in my pc
[10:09] <SlyFly> I am trying to get Totem to play videos, but it only shows a dark screen.
[10:09] <whiter> jamie what file system is it
[10:09] <SlyFly> I have all restricted formats installed.  Totem still won't display videos correctly.
[10:09] <jamie_> i think its ext3
[10:09] <kalosaurusrex> anyone have any experience with laptop heat problems?
[10:09] <jamie_> it was an old ubuntu install
[10:10] <mingo> zenith : it doesn't work...
[10:10] <jamie_> which has VERY important data on it
[10:10] <whiter> jamie, do this: fdisk -l
[10:10] <whiter> do it as root, find out the hard drive path
[10:10] <SlyFly> Why does Totem show a dark screen instead of playing a video as it should?
[10:10] <whiter> like /dev/hdb1 or whatever, then go "mkdir /mnt/hdb1" and then "mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1"
[10:10] <jamie_>    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
[10:10] <jamie_> /dev/sda1   *           1       23564   189277798+  83  Linux
[10:10] <jamie_> /dev/sda2           23565       24321     6080602+   5  Extended
[10:10] <jamie_> /dev/sda5           23565       24321     6080571   82  Linux swap / Solaris
[10:10] <whiter> and change it up according to the name of your hard drive
[10:11] <gnomefreak> Phoul: all i found was usr/lib/libXrender.a  without the "l" im wondering if it changed names in dapper if i get a min i will see if i can grab the lib
[10:11] <gnomefreak> jamie_: dont paste
[10:11] <jamie_> thats the drive i need to mount

[10:11] <jamie_> how would i mount sda1
[10:12] <whiter> "mount /dev/sda1 /path/to/mount"
[10:12] <Jowi> kalosaurusrex: well, not sure if it is related to your problem but I just cleaned a ton of dust from my wifes laptop cpu fan. blocked ventilation cause a lot of heat problems.

[10:24] <jme> oh, interesting
[10:24] <wahjava> I want to avoid downloading kubuntu stuff from internet
[10:24] <grenegar> wahjava: you could install 'kubuntu-desktop' from synaptic
[10:24] <peteretief> bane, whats the matter
[10:25] <wahjava> grenegar, but that would download kubuntu from internet not from CD
[10:25] <brainsik> gnomefreak: i'm trying to find specifics, but having trouble... i realize i can compare .config files, but i'm trying to avoid that arduous task
[10:25] <jme> yeah, you'll want to add the CD to your repository list, wahjava
[10:25] <A|ex> uhm all english here...
[10:25] <cougem> yeh stick grubs in it
[10:25] <grenegar> wahjava: ya true. if you set sources.list to have cd-rom entry first then it will get it from there instead
[10:25] <technel> How do I get xterm to allow 256 colors?
[10:26] <jme> use the same format the regular Ubuntu CD is in on sources.list
[10:26] <wahjava> jme, I tried that but it didn't work either though CD is added successfully to the list
[10:26] <gnomefreak> brainsik: join #ubuntu-kernel see if they are not busy and ask them
[10:26] <brainsik> gnomefreak: cool, thanks
[10:26] <jme> ah, sorry to hear
[10:26] <wildman> A|ex: which lang do you need? usually, #ubuntu-LL, where LL is the 2 letter code for your lang works...
[10:26] <kbrooks> brainsik: diff is not an arduous task
[10:26] <brainsik> kbrooks: have you ever diffed .config files? not fund
[10:26] <brainsik> fun
[10:26] <A|ex> uhm i try #ubuntu-IT
[10:26] <wildman> A|ex: -it, ;)
[10:26] <Jowi> wahjava: you need to update/reload as well ("sudo apt-get update" or reload in synaptic)
[10:27] <wildman> A|ex: no capital letters on channel names ;)
[10:27] <kbrooks> brainsik: i said "diff". the command

[10:38] <masterofallarts> cant get it started
[10:38] <masterofallarts> I have an ATI 9000
[10:38] <atlantian> wahjava is there anyway to stop the user form having to grant access
[10:38] <masterofallarts> I followed the wiki
[10:38] <kitsuneofdoom> masterofallarts: what computer type do you have?
[10:38] <wildman> !ati
[10:38] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:38] <atlantian> just untick ask for confirmation?
[10:38] <wildman> masterofallarts: check above URL meanwhile
[10:38] <wahjava> atlantian: from *Remote Desktop* in *Preferences*
[10:38] <atlantian> simple as that wahjava?
[10:39] <masterofallarts> a laptop?
[10:39] <masterofallarts> on dapper.
[10:39] <peteretief> !wahjava
[10:39] <ubotu> I know nothing about wahjava
[10:39] <greddy> i get weird corruption over some buttons in the OS what does that mean?
[10:39] <Dr1ft3d> dapper=brave in afrikaans
[10:39] <hid3> Hello everyone. is there any way/tool to reset /proc/interrupts, transmited bytes/packets counters for a network device without rebooting the system?
[10:39] <silentread> what do u mean wierd corruption?
[10:39] <wahjava> !kubuntu
[10:39] <ubotu> Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment. For more info see http://kubuntu.org ; to install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[10:40] <wahjava> oh that's a bot command cool
[10:40] <wildman> wahjava: which just rocks :)
[10:40] <wahjava> wildman: yup
[10:41] <masterofallarts> wildman: does this mean that fglrx doesnt support a 9000 card?
[10:41] <Eazy-> anyone knows of a sysinfo script that works?
[10:41] <Glimerrati> how can I run DVD..?
[10:41] <Eazy-> for xchat
[10:41] <Jowi> !dvd
[10:41] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html. Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[10:41] <wildman> masterofallarts: dunno about all hardware there is... sorry
[10:42] <wildman> masterofallarts: and always hade nVidia cards here, with binary nVidia drivers w/o pbs at all
[10:42] <gnomefreak> !hardware
[10:42] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[10:42] <peteretief> wow 1066 files to upgrade to dapper from breezy
[10:42] <kitsuneofdoom> Ok, I have a broadcom 54g a/b/g/bluetooth wifi card. Linux detects the card all right, and I have ndiswrapper around the bcmwl5 driver, only problem, I can't connect
[10:42] <wildman> masterofallarts: did you check http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ to see if your laptop is listed?
[10:43] <silentread> @kitsune did u modprobe?
[10:43] <POVaddct> masterofallarts: the radeon 9000 is supported without needing the flgrx driver. at least the mobile version is.
[10:43] <wildman> masterofallarts: there's always isntructions for lots of laptops there... and some can be used on any distro, even if the mini-howto for ur laptop is for another distro...
[10:43] <basschimp> hi guys
[10:43] <basschimp> i have a stupid question i think i already know the answer to. so feel free to mock for your own personal amusement
[10:43] <POVaddct> masterofallarts: i tested a dell latitude d600 with ati radeon 9000 with dapper and 3d runs out of the box
[10:44] <peteretief> i run an ati9000 as well
[10:44] <masterofallarts> hm...
[10:44] <bane> can anyone tell me why iwconfig tells me my access point is invalid?
[10:44] <basschimp> currently running ubuntu with gnome. to get the option of a KDE desktop, do i just install kubuntu? and do i have to go through the whole installation rigamarole again?
[10:45] <Jowi> masterofallarts: from the binary driver page: "If you own an ATI card that is not on this list, you already have accelerated 3D."
[10:45] <gnomefreak> basschimp: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[10:45] <peteretief> bane, have you tried iwconfig
[10:45] <basschimp> gnomefreak, ty
[10:45] <gnomefreak> yw
[10:45] <Jowi> masterofallarts: to check, in a terminal: glxinfo | grep direct
[10:45] <depi> hi, is there any good repo to install BONFIRE?
[10:45] <masterofallarts> but why does fglrx show me that mesa is doing the rendering?
[10:45] <basschimp> and i'll have the option to choose which desktop environment i want from the login splash screen, right?
[10:45] <gnomefreak> peteretief: he just said that was the command that he did
[10:46] <masterofallarts> Jowi: answer is direct rendering: no
[10:46] <gnomefreak> basschimp: on the login screen you can click sessions than choose what one you want to boot into
[10:46] <K^Holtz> i just installed w32codecs from synaptic, should all my audio and video play correctly now in vlc?
[10:46] <basschimp> gnomefreak, ty. again.
[10:46] <basschimp> off to experiment!
[10:46] <Jowi> masterofallarts: according to the help page, you should not use fglrx since 3d is already in the loaded driver for your card.
[10:46] <masterofallarts> XLib: extension xfree86-dri missing on display :0.0
[10:46] <gnomefreak> basschimp: have fun
[10:47] <peteretief> oh sorry i have got many wireless cards running so just want to know were he's at
[10:47] <juztin> how do i know if i'm using a 32 bit or 64 bit system?
[10:47] <gnomefreak> juztin: uname -r
[10:47] <gnomefreak> juztin: it should say at the end of it
[10:47] <masterofallarts> Jowi: i can try uninstalling the driver.
[10:47] <masterofallarts> As it isnt active anyway, i dont expect a change.
[10:47] <bane> yes i used iwconfig...thats how i get the "access point: invalid"
[10:47] <juztin> gnomefreak, it doesn't...it just says 2.6.15-25-server
[10:47] <wildman> juztin: euh... nice question :) do you have /lib64 for example?
[10:48] <juztin> wildman, where would that be located?

[10:58] <KevinCLovesU> ndis does not magically make cards work
[10:58] <NeedHelp> Before login, I hear the reassuring drum roll noise then after login it doesn't seem to think my sound card exists

[11:07] <SimzI> or just use Terminal patrickj

[11:07] <patrickj> anything similar to transmit for osx?
[11:07] <NeedHelp> grep snd does nothing but nothing

[11:29] <greddy> sometimes i get weird artifacting on some buttons in the ui until i hover over them
[11:29] <greddy> what is causing that?
[11:29] <kbrooks> Kibou: um, no open source vid card drivers do
[11:30] <Kibou> intel + r200 work for me
[11:30] <wildman> greedy: video card RAM and/or drivers maybe...

[11:30] <ifvoid> what happened to /etc/locale.gen?
[11:30] <greddy> and it goes away once i hover over the button
[11:30] <ifvoid> how do I specify which locales are generated now?
[11:30] <K^Holtz> Ok, well ive read the multimedia wikis, and asked a couple times, but i cannot find anything that explains to me how to get DVD playback to work with VLC specifically, i see a lot about getting it to work with gstreamer and xine.. Can someone please help me out with this issue?
[11:30] <Warbo> Any guides for Amarok1.4.1? (The amarok-latest repo seems to have no visuals enabled)
[11:31] <erUSUL> ifvoid: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[11:31] <ifvoid> erUSUL: nope
[11:31] <ifvoid> tries that
[11:31] <ifvoid> but that just generates the locales
[11:31] <NeedHelp> right it works; how do I make it permanent
[11:31] <ifvoid> doesn;t let me choose whcih ones
[11:31] <ifvoid> (this is edgy btw)
[11:31] <PittNsciGuy> Hey, real quick question...how do I find the bus identifier for my video card?
[11:31] <Warbo> PittNsciGuy: lspci?
[11:31] <NeedHelp> how do I make it autop mount it like other CD-drives
[11:32] <erUSUL> ifvoid: then go ask in #ubuntu+1 XD
[11:32] <wildman> greddy: well... Windows drivers != Linux drivers...
[11:32] <PittNsciGuy> Thanks Warbo....I'm trying to get my stupid ATI Radeon IGP 345 M video card to do 3d rendering
[11:32] <s_spiff> wow..back here after long long time.
[11:32] <aaron> I was wondering if somebody can help me with a stupid problem, my z (pasted) doesnt work with ubuntu all of a sudden
[11:32] <wildman> NeedHelp: by copying former line from /etc/fstab adapting to new device name
[11:32] <NeedHelp> k
[11:32] <robertj_> which package contains the AM_PATH_PYTHON m4 macro
[11:32] <greddy> is it worth trying to use other drivers?
[11:32] <Warbo> PittNsciGuy: Wow, that sounds really confusing. Why can't they just say "ATI 1, ATI2, ATI 3", etc.?
[11:33] <wildman> which vid card do u have greddy?
[11:33] <greddy> i'm not sure if fglrx supports my card
[11:33] <giganti1> isn't eclipse supported in ubuntu?
[11:33] <greddy> have a RADEON AIW VE
[11:33] <PittNsciGuy> Warbo: haha well b/c that'd be just too smart...and make live much easier for us!
[11:33] <peteretief> eclipse and scite
[11:33] <s_spiff> giganti1: eclipse is supported
[11:34] <greddy> its listing as a RADEON SV200 i my device manager
[11:34] <giganti1> i can't find it in packages
[11:34] <aaron> I cant hit z (pasted from google) key, it seems like its a broken shortcut and I cant figure out which - my z  (pasted) key is dead in ubuntu
[11:34] <Warbo> PittNsciGuy: Yeah, but look at greddy's. These names are stupid. I gave up after GeForce cards stopped using sensible names
[11:34] <wildman> greddy: sigh... don't have any ATI hardware around... always used nvidia
[11:34] <NeedHelp> gonna reboot brb
[11:34] <K^Holtz> Ok, well ive read the multimedia wikis, and asked a couple times, but i cannot find anything that explains to me how to get DVD playback to work with VLC specifically, i see a lot about getting it to work with gstreamer and xine.. Can someone please help me out with this issue?
[11:34] <thenuke> aaron: and your keyb is not broken?
[11:34] <greddy> it lists as a 7500
[11:34] <PittNsciGuy> Warbo: Good point!  I'm about ready to give up if I can't get this stupid ATI card to start rendering!
[11:34] <aaron> no not at all
[11:34] <greddy> when i am pretty sure its a 7000
[11:34] <Kibou> greddy: laptop?
[11:34] <s_spiff> aaron: probably a hardware problem?
[11:35] <wildman> !ati
[11:35] <greddy> desktop
[11:35] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:35] <wildman> greddy: did u check that URL?
[11:35] <Kibou> that's an pretty old card then...
[11:35] <greddy> yeah i did
[11:35] <Kibou> -n
[11:35] <giganti1> why is eclipse not listed in synaptic?
[11:35] <wildman> well... what can I say? :)
[11:35] <greddy> the ati driver says you need a 8500 or newer
[11:35] <Warbo> PittNsciGuy: Well the driver thing is usually straightforward, but there is no easy way to compare the cards. Even from the same manufacturer
[11:35] <aaron> im going to reboot
[11:35] <s_spiff> giganti1: what version of ubuntu u using?
[11:35] <Warbo> giganti1: Do you have Universe on?
[11:35] <greddy> but mine isn't
[11:35] <wildman> giganti1: maybe cuz it's on restricted/multiverse/universe repos?
[11:35] <greddy> so i'm not really sure heh
[11:35] <peteretief> dont ati offer some linux support
[11:35] <Ropechoborra> How do i mount an mp3 player?
[11:35] <PittNsciGuy> Warbo: oh yeah, well that part is a pain too yes!
[11:35] <giganti1> okay, i didn't knew that
[11:36] <s_spiff> wildman, its shown in 'Applications' in the menu..
[11:36] <cntb> xmms skins link anyone ?
[11:36] <wildman> giganti1: almost always the answer when a given pkg is not found ;)
[11:36] <s_spiff> atleast did in the ubuntu BB 5.10
[11:36] <giganti1> thx wildman!
[11:36] <giganti1> :-d
[11:36] <wildman> giganti1: yw
[11:36] <wildman> s_spiff: ?
[11:36] <Warbo> As far as I know, Radeon 9200 and below uses "radeon" driver (I do) and above should use fglrx
[11:36] <wildman> s_spiff: maybe the 'menu' message above wasn't for me?
[11:37] <s_spiff> wildman: was fo r u..
[11:37] <cntb> Ropechoborra: most probably usb like any usb disk
[11:37] <s_spiff> actually its like more than 3 weeks since i got my hands on ubuntu

[11:37] <abo> can anyone recommand a good C++ ide ?
[11:37] <Ropechoborra> cntb and.. how do i mount any usb disk ? x)

[11:40] <wildman> abo: 1.5GB of RAM here, cannot really answer you ;)
[11:40] <Reimu> I have ubuntu, kubuntu and xubuntu on one machine, is there any disadvantage to cross running programs? Like say running Konversation in xfce or gnome?
[11:40] <greddy> lol it worked
[11:40] <NeedHelp> Can you make the icons align on the right side instead of the left?
[11:40] <greddy> that is hot
[11:40] <Warbo> ardchoille: Geki3? (but it's not that good :) )
[11:41] <thenuke> 
[11:41] <wildman> abo: but usually Eclipse performance is fine, even with less than 1.5GB RAM ;) (I've used it with 512MB before, no pbs)
[11:41] <NeedHelp> is it possible?
[11:41] <ardchoille> Warbo: ok, I'll check it out. Thank you :)

[11:43] <brotakul> i have a problem with my ATI Radeon 9600xt. i want to reduce the fan speed but i coldn't find anything like Ati Tray Tools for linux. do you know ant app like that i can use please?
[11:43] <hcjc92> has anyone here ever compiled zdoom under ubuntu, (i doubt it) cause mine always fails on anything todo with fmod....
[11:44] <Leonidas> hi
[11:44] <Warbo> hcjc92: I have heard of many fmod problems in Doom engines
[11:44] <peteretief> how do i list channels in xchat?
[11:44] <Reimu> I have ubuntu, kubuntu and xubuntu on one machine, is there any disadvantage to cross running programs? Like say running Konversation in xfce or gnome?
[11:44] <s_spiff{AWAY}> use / list
[11:44] <peteretief> ah thnks
[11:45] <s_spiff{AWAY}> np
[11:45] <s_spiff{AWAY}> good night ppl [ 3.15 am here ] ..cya
[11:45] <aergern> Reimu: No. You can run whatever you want in any of the window managers.
[11:45] <hcjc92> Warbo, i've installed fmod, and i know people that have (and run) zdoom on ubuntu it just annoying that the make fails on the first mention of fmod....
[11:45] <greddy> brotakul did you try installing the ati driver package?
[11:45] <greddy> i think it has some tools
[11:45] <brotakul> yes
[11:45] <aergern> There is no advantage or disadvantage.
[11:45] <brotakul> where?
[11:45] <ubuntu> hola como estan se que no saben lo que digo po eso aprendan el espao no somos los unicos que devemos aprender otros idiomas idiatas.
[11:45] <brotakul> i an rookie user
[11:45] <Warbo> Reimu: KDE apps in particular use several servers and daemons, so running KDE stuff in GNOME or XFCE would cause a bit of overhead, but those daemons would then be shared by any other KDE apps

[11:45] <pontifex> Moin everyone. I have a machine running dapper that has started to lock up in x on me, i have changed from nvidia to nv driver but it still locks up. i can ssh in and note xorg taking 100%
[11:46] <pontifex> any ideas?
[11:46] <greddy> this thing
[11:46] <greddy> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[11:46] <ubuntu> pp
[11:46] <pontifex> i tried killing individual applications but that made no difference, killing x eventually caused gdm to restart as normal
[11:46] <pontifex> but it keeps locking on me
[11:47] <pontifex> I have run a memtest for 24 hours and there were no problems
[11:47] <Leonidas> Anyoune in here, having experience with AGP caused freezes fo the X-Server?
[11:47] <Reimu> Warbo: I think I get it, if I run a KDE app, a GNOME app, and an xfce app all at the same time it is worse than using 3 xfce apps right? Because they each run different things?

[11:47] <hcjc92> how can i close gnome, and not shutdown
[11:47] <Ropechoborra> !easycam
[11:47] <pontifex> it's just locked again after the jingle you get after logon

[11:47] <pontifex> hcjc92: choose logout from the System menu ?
[11:48] <FlimFlamMan> is there a gtk2 syntax-highlighting code editor that works with sshfs?  gedit seems unable to save to an sshfs mount point (it says i don't have permissions to save the file, though i do)
[11:48] <Warbo> Reimu: "XFCE apps" are usually similar to GNOME apps, so they are more generally called "GTK apps". Running QT (KDE) and GTK apps together is fine, but may run a little slower than using all GTK, or all QT (as long as you are in KDE when running the QT ones)
[11:48] <Leonidas> FlimFlamMan: tried SciTE?
[11:48] <K^Holtz> Can someone help me get my DVD to play in VLC specifically?
[11:49] <Warbo> K^Holtz: I think as long as you have decss installed and DMA enabled it should be fine
[11:49] <Leonidas> Is it normal to load agpgart when I disable it in the blacklist? (I use NvAGP instead)
[11:49] <pontifex> is there any way to see which app is causing xorg to go to 100%
[11:50] <K^Holtz> Warbo: well the dvd shows up on my desktop, totem opens automatically and it says that it cant play, but i dont care about totem, so i open vlc, and im not sure how to open the dvd
[11:51] <Warbo> K^Holtz: If you use the regular Open box, rather than the "Quick Open" then it should be pretty obvious
[11:51] <kimo> guys, anyone using some unofficial kernel debs?? (plz tell me about it, as default kernel, just doesnt like my hardware!)
[11:51] <Tarantulafudge> I just installed something with like 10 deps, and I want to uninstall it
[11:51] <kristian> Hatred, you here?
[11:51] <Tarantulafudge> I want the deps to come with it
[11:51] <K^Holtz> Warbo: hold on, let me try again
[11:51] <Tarantulafudge> anyone?
[11:52] <Warbo> Tarantulafudge: Try using aptitude
[11:52] <Tarantulafudge> Warbo: I tried
[11:52] <chrisbudden14> anyone know why i get this error - > libtool: link: `/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.0.3/../../..//libXrender.la' is not a valid libtool archive.  -dev for libxrenderer is installed
[11:52] <hyphenated> Tarantulafudge: use /var/log/dpkg.log to see what things got installed around the same time as that package
[11:52] <Warbo> Tarantulafudge: Well you could try debfoster if you don't mind wasting a bit of time
[11:52] <Zaire> anyone in her know anything about a package called xlibs?
[11:52] <K^Holtz> Warbo: ok, im in the open dialogue box, do i click the disc tab and just click OK?
[11:53] <greddy> ahhh shoot
[11:53] <Warbo> K^Holtz: You will need to give it the right device (usually /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd)
[11:53] <greddy> by default does someone know what should be in /etc/modules
[11:53] <greddy> with a default install
[11:54] <K^Holtz> Warbo: vlc just closed on me when i toldit to open /dev/hdc  lol
[11:54] <Tarantulafudge> Why is it so complicated to remove a bunch of crap that came with something
[11:54] <Warbo> K^Holtz: Try doing "sudo eject /dev/hdc" and the same for hdd. Then it is pretty obvious which one is your drive :)
[11:54] <Tarantulafudge> all the other distros are the same way, it makes no sense at all to keep the extra crap
[11:55] <POVaddct> Tarantulafudge: you want to try deborphan
[11:55] <Zaire> Im trying to get cedega installed but it says Im missing a package called xlibs
[11:55] <hunter_> how can i change hte config for startx so it start fluxbox and not gnome?
[11:55] <Warbo> Zaire: That package doesn't actually exist, but xlibs-dev does
[11:55] <Tarantulafudge> POVaddct: but the point is I'm having to open insatll applications and use cli just to remove deps that should have been removed anyways
[11:55] <Zaire> I got that one but it still won't install the cedega.deb file
[11:56] <K^Holtz> Warbo: its definitly hdc.. but when i type dev/hdc in the open box, VLC just simply closes
[11:56] <jonah1980> hi i've been trying to delete a folder for ages and it just won't let me, even if i sudo nautilus and navigate to it! please can someone help me get rid of it!
[11:57] <abo> when I go to synaptic, and go to Settings->Repositories and then click on Add to add the restricted and multivers, in the Add Channel dialog, I select for each Channel the 4 components, and then click add, and then if i cycle again in the channel I see the univers and multiverse unselected again, any ideas?
[11:57] <wildman> jonah1980: sudo rm -rf folder_name, run in a terminal
[11:57] <Warbo> K^Holtz: Have you followed the guides for Totem and stuff? You said you don't care if totem can't play it, but if totem does, then VLC should do as well
[11:57] <Tarantulafudge> Amazing, nothing in the deborphan output actually came from the app I uninstalled
[11:57] <hunter_> how do i make fluxbox start instead of gnome?
[11:57] <Warbo> jonah1980: "sudo rm -r foldername"?
[11:57] <gatekeeper> jonah1980: has the folder got anything inside it?
[11:58] <Gun_Smoke9> abo:  I had the same problem yesterday.. I still haven't figured it out..  Someone in here said its just bad GUI, and they are selected.
[11:58] <WiNn3t0U> hello
[11:58] <jonah1980> wildman, that didn't seem to do anything
[11:58] <WiNn3t0U> people i need big help...
[11:58] <K^Holtz> Warbo: ok, i guess i'll do that then..does that mean i have to run the gstreamer commands?
[11:58] <abo> Gun_Smoke9, I was searching for sun java... can't find it in the list
[11:58] <wildman> WiNn3t0U: just shot your question
[11:59] <wildman> jonah1980: it should delete it all w/o asking...
[11:59] <WiNn3t0U> OK.... so.... i'm a newbie in linux, and i've installed it.....
[11:59] <Warbo> K^Holtz: Not usually, but the packages you install should be the same (libdecss2 or something, ffmpeg maybe...)
[11:59] <Tarantulafudge> anyone?
[11:59] <giant> same here winnetou
[11:59] <WiNn3t0U> then on linux's site i found the source-o-matic generator that i used.... and edited my sources.list
[12:00] <WiNn3t0U> when i updated my system, i obviously wanted to reset and re log
[12:00] <WiNn3t0U> but while starting it, i had an error
[12:00] <Gun_Smoke9> abo:   Good luck.. That is my mission for todya.. I'm looking for the same thing and have run into the same problems..
[12:00] <WiNn3t0U> and i couldn't start it because of something related to the display
