[12:01] <h4v0k> i am running the dist-update to dapper was it a good move
[12:01] <h4v0k> lol
[12:01] <GameOver69> maybe someone can help me, i used to be able to read dvd's on my cd/dvd combo drive, but now i cant even mount it.... any idea how i can fix this
[12:04] <gregg__> GameOver69: you can help us help by providing error messages etc :-)
[12:05] <GameOver69> [17206169.900000]  hdc: error code: 0x70  sense_key: 0x02  asc: 0x06  ascq: 0x00
[12:05] <gregg__> sounds like broken hardware
[12:05] <GameOver69> but the cd rom works
[12:05] <GameOver69> just cant read dvd's, or mount them
[12:05] <GameOver69> worked b4
[12:05] <markit86> type of dvd?
[12:06] <GameOver69> movie
[12:06] <gregg__> GameOver69: so what? might still be broken. can you still read CDs?
[12:06] <GameOver69> yes
[12:06] <GameOver69> still detects my drive as well
[12:07] <markit86> cds are less dense for data, a badly focused laser will still see cds
[12:07] <GameOver69> well when i try to enable the drive in disks and filesystems it says the following: An error occurred while enabling /media/cdrom0.
[12:07] <GameOver69> The system reported: mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[12:08] <advant_> Anyone here know much about cvs?  It says trying to connect to cvs.sourceforge.net, but it just times out?
[12:08] <markit86> it would autodetect a movie if it was working well
[12:08] <gregg__> GameOver69, get a new drive. they are very cheap these days :)
[12:09] <markit86> agreed
[12:09] <GameOver69> its for a laptop
[12:09] <gregg__> unless it is a slimline notebook drive
[12:09] <gregg__> argh crap :)
[12:09] <GameOver69> gregg__, anyway we can do some troubleshooting to make sure that it is the hardware, and not a configuration problem
[12:10] <gregg__> GameOver69: sure. tried different DVDs?
[12:10] <dijair> join #ubuntu-pt
[12:10] <GameOver69> yes
[12:10] <GameOver69> its not the media
[12:10] <dijair> join /ubuntu-pt
[12:10] <rayston> hello guys
[12:11] <rayston> is there a way to have synaptic install stuff to a second hard drive?
[12:11] <dijair> list
[12:11] <dijair> help
[12:11] <rayston> also, how do Itell how much HDspace is left on my primary HD?
[12:11] <Infern0o> how do you make a directory,
[12:11] <Infern0o> ?
[12:11] <jennifer71> df /dev/hda1
[12:11] <jennifer71> i think that works
[12:11] <larson9999> rayston: df will tell you all of them
[12:12] <ChandlerBing> Infern0o: mkdir
[12:12] <skavenge> 'df' will show size for everything mounted
[12:12] <markit86> df -h shows 'proper' sizes
[12:12] <element> I really wish there was better dual monitor support for linux...it makes it tough for users like me, a normal windows user, to convert over =/
[12:12] <hobx> I have a newly installed system, and there seems to be an issue with DNS lookups. Every lookup waits for ~20 seconds before completing, like if it is waiting for something to time out.
[12:12] <GameOver69> anyway we can check some config file to see if everything is good?
[12:12] <gregg__> GameOver69: I'm quite sure it's the hardware... maybe you could check with a live cd
[12:12] <benyameen> cut to the chase, installed ubuntu onto my acer laptop, and wireless will not work, help?
[12:13] <hobx> anyone have a clue?
[12:13] <tuxtux> ciao
[12:13] <gregg__> GameOver69: livecd with toram option :)
[12:13] <rayston> okay, thanx
[12:13] <techrush> l
[12:13] <Infern0o> benyameen: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo i'm looking at this, same problem as you ;)-
[12:13] <rayston> how bout my first question, the whole apt get synaptic package manager thing is great, but how do Imake it install packages to drives OTHER than my primary
[12:13] <GameOver69> alright thanks
[12:13] <larson9999> hobx: sounds a bit like  a problem i had with ipv6.  i disabled that and worked fine.  don't know if you hae the same issue or not
[12:13] <benyameen> thanks Infern0o
[12:14] <hobx> larson: How do I kill ipv6=
[12:14] <aujordanh> hobx: about:config in firefox window
[12:15] <hobx> this isn't firefox specific though. It will happen on a normal dig.
[12:15] <gregg__> GameOver69: slax should be good for that (it's small)
[12:15] <Infern0o> benyameen, what wireless card are you using? maybe we can work on this together? :)
[12:15] <skavenge> you need to blacklist the ipv6 module among other things, there is a howto on the wiki/forums
[12:16] <nickwebcouk> silly question, any idea on how to untar a file to a differnet drive? (i have a 15gig file that i need to untar from sda1 to hda1) - hda1's a fat32 partition, so it wont copy the whole file over.. :O
[12:17] <DigitDuke> Host 'digit.b5' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
[12:17] <hobx> If I dig for a domain I haven't tried before, I get a message ";; reply from unexpected source: 192.168.1.1#3072, expected 192.168.1.1#53" and then it waits for 10 seconds, then I get the response. I suppose something is busted with the NAT box so it responds from the wrong port (the timeout could be a security issue to wait to see if a correct reponse is forthcoming?)
[12:17] <DigitDuke> How do I allow specific IPs/hostnames to access my MySQL server?
[12:17] <gregg__> nickwebcouk: -C option
[12:17] <DigitDuke> That's the DNS hobx
[12:17] <gregg__> nickwebcouk: RTFM !!!!!!!!!!!111111111eleven
[12:18] <redguy> DigitDuke: read about GRANT syntax, it allows you to specify which users from which hosts have access
[12:18] <DigitDuke> I don't know exactly what, I'm not an expert, but DNS is the place to start @ hobx
[12:18] <Infern0o> can anyone please help me with this command?:sudo cp ipw-2.3-*.fw /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/ --> it's from the wireless guide...
[12:18] <DigitDuke> Thanks redguy
[12:19] <crogue5> why are ATI drivers so shotty at install ?
[12:19] <crogue5> it's rhetorical
[12:19] <crogue5> just sucks
[12:19] <gregg__> crogue5: they aren't just shotty at install...
[12:19] <Howitzer> I have my dvd drive mounted as: /dev/hdd	/media/dvd	udf,iso9660 user,noauto	    0       0	
[12:19] <Howitzer> but it isn't correct
[12:19] <DigitDuke> I even thought that MySQL came unlocked out of the box.
[12:19] <Howitzer> how do i need to mount it then?
[12:20] <gregg__> Howitzer: mount /media/dvd
[12:20] <Howitzer> no no
[12:20] <crogue5> they jsut don't work half the time
[12:20] <Howitzer> i mean the fstab line
[12:20] <Howitzer> srry, wasn't very clear :p
[12:20] <markit86> infern0o: it means copy all ipw... files to the directory /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
[12:20] <gregg__> I don't get it
[12:20] <BPC_IT_GUY> does anyone in here use a command line based bittorent client in ubuntu? I used btcurses on my old Gentoo box, but I can't find an alternative in Ubuntu
[12:20] <malachi> I can't figure out for the LIFE of me how to change the default menu icon in Dapper.
[12:21] <gregg__> BPC_IT_GUY: you can use the original client
[12:21] <malachi> Any suggestions?
[12:21] <Infern0o> yeah, i figured that out, but i didn't extract any ipw files and i don't have that directory ^^
[12:21] <BPC_IT_GUY> gregg__: original client? you mean the one that uses a gui?
[12:21] <gregg__> BPC_IT_GUY: it has a commadline version as well as a graphical one
[12:21] <BPC_IT_GUY> oh
[12:21] <gregg__> btdownloadheadless.py / btdownloadcurses.py
[12:22] <BPC_IT_GUY> so i just install bittorrent and that comes with it?
[12:22] <E_Jackyou_Later> who of you has succeeded in installing ubuntu on a usb stick?
[12:22] <markit86> infern0o: the instructions you are following seem to be wrong/out of date then
[12:22] <gregg__> BPC_IT_GUY: yes, exactly
[12:22] <qwertybob> i just installed ubuntu onto slave hard drive and it got grub all figured out somehow, my bios says boot from master which is windows hda, but it still gives me ubuntu boot menu?
[12:22] <BPC_IT_GUY> awesome!
[12:22] <E_Jackyou_Later> Im *sure* one of you has succeeded...
[12:22] <Infern0o> markit86: yes out of date :) but it's the http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26623 instructions so what else can i follow? :P
[12:24] <malachi> Ack, disconnected.
[12:24] <malachi> Did I get an answer?
[12:24] <jennifer71> ok, this stinks
[12:25] <Howitzer> jennifer71, ?
[12:25] <r0bby> why don';t you just state your problem
[12:25] <jennifer71> I installed the drivers through Ndis, but i stil cant see any reference to my Wlan0
[12:25] <markit86> infern0o, i just checked that file and it has ipw..s in it
[12:25] <Howitzer> jennifer71, tried it trough cli?
[12:26] <jennifer71> how would I do that
[12:26] <Infern0o> markit86 yeah, but isn't it better to use the newest firmware instead of that 'older' version?
[12:26] <jennifer71> Ohh Command line, yes i did
[12:26] <overridex> is it possible to do a raid-5 with lvm over it as root with the alternate install cd?
[12:26] <Howitzer> if it needs a WEP key and ESSID, do 'iwconfig key open -WEPkey- && iwconfig essid -essid name- && dhclient'
[12:26] <Howitzer> in root
[12:27] <Howitzer> *as root
[12:27] <jennifer71> ok so just "sudo" before the command yes?
[12:27] <gregg__> hm, won't work without an interface
[12:27] <Howitzer> yes, do sudo before all the commands
[12:28] <markit86> infern0o: it is, but then you have to be prepared to 'wing it'  on the edge and accept a brick if it fails :)
[12:29] <Infern0o> markit86: ah so 2.3 is the last stable one?
[12:29] <gnomefreak> Infern0o: of what?
[12:29] <BrokenSegue> is there any easy way to 'compile' java code in Ubuntu? (like gcc for C++)
[12:30] <markit86> infern0o: i don't know, i was just saying that if you can't find help for something, then your on the edge
[12:30] <LjL> BrokenSegue: gcj
[12:30] <gnomefreak> BrokenSegue: javac
[12:30] <gleesond> is there any type of firewall or ports closed in the default install of ubuntu?
[12:30] <BrokenSegue> any difference between the two?
[12:30] <Infern0o> gnomefreak: wireless card firmware :) ipc
[12:30] <gleesond> also what is an easy to setup firewall that runs as a daemon
[12:30] <markit86> infern0o: if 2.3 has what you need then use that
[12:31] <BrokenSegue> My console recognizes neither...
[12:31] <Infern0o> markit86: yeah i guess it's good enough :)
[12:31] <gregg__> BrokenSegue: javac creates java bytecode while gcj creates native code for the platform you are on
[12:31] <Howitzer> BrokenSegue, i heard gcj was crap
[12:31] <BrokenSegue> alright
[12:32] <gregg__> BrokenSegue: that means gcj can creare code that runs without java (JRE) installed
[12:32] <arooni> how do i list all processes
[12:32] <arooni> and selectively kill one
[12:32] <Tomatix> ps -A
[12:32] <gleesond> arooni: ps -ef
[12:32] <arooni> ooh which one ? :P
[12:32] <Tomatix> its the same
[12:32] <Tomatix> if you get the PID, you use    kill <pid>
[12:33] <Infern0o> markit86: ok i dl'd the right file, but now it's says that /usr/lib/hotplug/irmware/' is not a directory..;
[12:33] <ttyfscker> i installed xgl on ubuntu 6.06.. i restarted X but I cant tell any compostition has taken affect..  does anyone know how to get xgl working on ubuntu ?
[12:33] <Infern0o> i guess i have to make it myself...?
[12:33] <arooni> Tomatix: i killed it but i still see it listed
[12:33] <arooni> whats up
[12:33] <afd_> hi! How can I play shn files with rhythmbox?
[12:33] <Tomatix> hmm
[12:33] <CineFX3D> anyone knows what this means? ata1: translated ATA stat/err 0x51/40 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0x3/11/04
[12:34] <gregg__> arooni: kill -9
[12:34] <CineFX3D> I get this msg when I try to load live/install cd when I get to the Enterprise Volume Management part
[12:34] <arooni> gregg__: that killed it :P what did i just do
[12:34] <markit86> infern0o: what version of ubuntu do you have?
[12:34] <CineFX3D> and it keeps looping on that msg :/
[12:34] <Infern0o> the last one, from the main site...
[12:35] <gregg__> arooni: kill without options basically "asks" the process to quit, with -9 it is forced
[12:35] <gregg__> arooni: check the man page, man kill
[12:35] <Tomatix> mafia
[12:35] <Infern0o> 2.6.15-26
[12:37] <corsachriz> mhh kann mir keiner bei evolution helfen?
[12:37] <corsachriz> haab schon aus versehen wichtige mails gelscht grrr
[12:37] <gregg__> corsachriz: das ist ein englischer channel hier ;)
[12:37] <corsachriz> oh, hab das -de vergessen :D
[12:37] <DigitDuke> I'm setting up postfix and I'm being asked for my "mail name"

[12:38] <DigitDuke> Doh

[12:39] <Kaervek> Has anybody ever heard of Ubuntu having problems booting when more than one harddrive is installed?
[12:39] <Infern0o> markit86: downloaded today from main site, after uname -a: 2.6.15-26
[12:39] <Random_Transit> don't look at me kaervek....i have three on my comp
[12:40] <CineFX3D> anybody knows how to fix this? I can't install ubuntu at all on this machine :/ is it a SATA issue?
[12:40] <Tomatix> I had a SATA issue...
[12:40] <overridex> Kaervek: i guess if when another hd was added and it's detected before the original, it might change the device name (i.e. hda becomes hdb) and you'd have some mounting issues
[12:40] <Tomatix> but others had no problems with SATA disks, and this part really confuses me
[12:40] <CineFX3D> Tomatix: really weird.. :/
[12:41] <Tomatix> yeah
[12:41] <Kaervek> overridex: any idea on how I can confirm that or fix it?
[12:41] <tuxtux> notte
[12:41] <overridex> Kaervek: depends where ubuntu is hanging
[12:41] <Kaervek> Ubuntu boots fine when the system drive is the only drive installed.
[12:41] <Tomatix> I bought me a 250 gig, and it did not get listed in  fdisk -l, so I build a custom kernel... but I am sure there should be alternate and easier ways
[12:41] <CineFX3D> "ata1: translated ATA stat/err 0x51/40 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0x3/11/04" and it loops through that msg.. I can throw machine away, looks like it
[12:41] <Kaervek> It hangs here: "Mouting Root filesystem."  Sounds like GRUB is looking in the wrong place.
[12:41] <jrib> okay I've discovered my ISP blocks port 25, but allows me to use port 587.  How can I tell postfix to use port 587 instead?
[12:42] <Kaervek> I dual-boot XP: MCE
[12:42] <Kaervek> XP has not problems booting with all the drives installed.
[12:42] <Infern0o> how do you create a directory?
[12:42] <CineFX3D> I've run gparted.. ctrl+c on Enterprise Volume Management did start Live CD, let's see what happens if gparted figures out there is a disk at all
[12:42] <Kaervek> I'm in the LiveCD right now.
[12:42] <overridex> Kaervek: i would check your bios with and without the other drives installed, see if your system drive is changing from being master to slave or something
[12:42] <Tomatix> Infern0o, mkdir <dir>
[12:43] <Infern0o> thx
[12:43] <overridex> Kaervek: and if it's going from master to slave, it may very well be going from being hda to hdb... in which case it's pretty easy to fix in grub - just press e to edit the entry when you're booting up and change the letter
[12:43] <Kaervek> well, I should be able to see if the right one is master.  My system drive is a 74GB Raptor, and I have 2x 160GB Caviars and a 500GB Caviar.  All sATA
[12:43] <wachunei> hi there
[12:44] <Kaervek> I'll check my BIOS
[12:44] <element`> how can I fake firefox into thinking windows media player is installed?
[12:44] <Kaervek> thanks overridex.  Will you be in here for a while?
[12:44] <overridex> Kaervek: yep, i'll be afk here and there though but around mostly
[12:44] <Anderson> Can someone give me a hand, I have been troubleshooting my BCM4306 wireless card all day.
[12:44] <Kaervek> I'll send you a msg when I get back :)
[12:44] <overridex> :)
[12:45] <Anderson> Can someone give me a hand, I have been troubleshooting my BCM4306 wireless card all day?
[12:45] <Tomatix> Anderson, tell me more about your problem....
[12:45] <afd_> dudes, how can I play some shn files in my rhythmbox?
[12:45] <overridex> Mr. Anderson...
[12:45] <heretician> How do you set a homepage in Firefox w/ Ubuntu
[12:45] <CineFX3D> ok wow.. gparted figured out there was ntfs partitions there.. I've deleted them and it seems installation can go ahead now... weird
[12:45] <DigitDuke> Oh God.
[12:45] <heretician> The Preferances selection is not there like it was in Windows hehe
[12:45] <DigitDuke> This DNS stuff is so confusing.
[12:45] <DigitDuke> I have no idea what to put where.
[12:45] <Anderson> Ok, i followed the guide, I used bcm43xx-fwcutter to install the firmware to /lib/firmware/2.6.15.whatever.
[12:46] <overridex> heretician: drag the fav icon next to the url to the home button
[12:46] <Anderson> I did modprobe bcm43xx
[12:46] <heretician> overridex: Okay, thank you.
[12:46] <Anderson> it loaded the module
[12:46] <Anderson> I set all of the configurations using iwconfig
[12:46] <user_> well, its not working
[12:46] <Anderson> I did ifconfig eth1 up before configuring with iwconfig.
[12:47] <BrokenSegue> heretician: Edit>Preferences I believe
[12:47] <gregg__> Anderson, that didn't really work for me either. For now it's probably better to use ndiswrapper
[12:47] <Anderson> I see the AP, I see 100/100 for quality, full signal strength, but the noise is 190/100
[12:47] <overridex> is it possible to do a raid-5 with lvm over it as root with the alternate install cd?
[12:48] <Anderson> I tried for the last 45 minutes to get a DHCPACK, I got ONE about 5 mintes ago, but I couldn't get to any websites.
[12:48] <Anderson> I'm on the network now, using a live cd with NDISWRAPPER
[12:48] <Anderson> But I would like to use the native drivers.
[12:48] <Anderson> Any ideas?
[12:48] <david_594> can anyone answer a quick stupid questoin for me?
[12:48] <KomiaPoika> yes
[12:48] <gregg__> Anderson: get the newest revision of the drivers from svn
[12:48] <david_594> apache config file?
[12:49] <david_594> wher is it?
[12:49] <Tomatix> apache2 or 1
[12:49] <david_594> 2
[12:49] <gregg__> AFAIK the driver included in ubuntu is quite old
[12:49] <Tomatix> try locate apache2.conf
[12:49] <Anderson> gregg__, I used wl_apsta.o version 3.130.20.0
[12:49] <Tomatix> I dont remember the exact path...
[12:49] <corsachriz> can someone help me importing maails from outlook to thunderbird?
[12:50] <corsachriz> i have 2 outlook "konten" !? but dont know how to copy both
[12:50] <david_594> there we go
[12:50] <david_594> thanks
[12:50] <Anderson> gregg__, Are youtalking about the file used to extract the firmware?
[12:50] <Tomatix> (=
[12:50] <gregg__> afd_: check for a gstreamer shn plugin
[12:50] <david_594> httpd.conf was not what i was looking for.
[12:50] <gregg__> Anderson: no, I mean the bcm driver itself
[12:50] <Anderson> how do I do that.
[12:50] <afd_> gregg__: couldn't find one
[12:51] <duckdown> Are there any very easy proxy servers I could set up on a shell that I pay for?  I desperately need a good proxy and would like to quickly set one up without much trouble..  dante isn't working for me, I can't seem to configure it correctly
[12:51] <Anderson> And what is the difference between a driver and firmware?
[12:51] <gregg__> afd_: hmm.. no clue then :)
[12:51] <gregg__> the firmware is the part of the driver that runs directly on top of the hardware
[12:51] <gregg__> the driver is the part interfacing with it
[12:51] <cydrive> Hello can anyone here point me to a free partition software that has an option to add a new os?
[12:51] <makro> okejjj
[12:51] <makro> oops
[12:52] <Anderson> so if a program is using the network card it would go through the program > api > driver > firmware > device?
[12:52] <gregg__> Anderson: ok, probably sound too confusing :)
[12:52] <gregg__> Anderson: yeah
[12:52] <SurfnKid> where can i get the commands for the /etc/network/interfaces to add autorate for my wifi card
[12:52] <Anderson> Ok, where does the kernel come into play?
[12:52] <on2see> I've been told that Dapper is less stable than Breezy, Hoary, and Warty. Is this true?
[12:53] <Stormx2> on2see: Lies! LIES!
[12:53] <compengi> how do i share my folders using samba
[12:53] <gregg__> on2see: it's supposed to be much more stable
[12:53] <on2see> Huh
[12:53] <on2see> OK
[12:53] <Contou1> can anyone explain me why gnome in dapper uses diffrent resolution than the one set in xorg.conf? it drives me crazy
[12:53] <CineFX3D> on2see: It is more stable, from what I can see atleast.. except firefox disappering act now and then
[12:53] <jojoman02> where does gdmsetup keep it's skins??
[12:53] <gregg__> Anderson: api and driver. it also uploads the firmware to the device
[12:53] <on2see> Huh
[12:53] <CineFX3D> but that's firefox problem
[12:54] <Stormx2> Contou1: System > Preferences > Screen Resolution
[12:54] <Anderson> gregg__, between the api and driver?
[12:54] <on2see> Is there actually anyone crazy enough to make IE6 run on WINE?
[12:54] <Stormx2> on2see: i do.
[12:54] <Random_Transit> hey, how do i add more favourite applications to the new GNOME main menu?
[12:54] <on2see> Really?
[12:54] <Stormx2> on2see: Google "IEs4Linux"
[12:54] <Contou1> Stormx2: no :)
[12:54] <jojoman02> Contou1:  System > Preferences > Screen Resolution
[12:54] <compengi> how do i share my folders using samba?
[12:54] <CineFX3D> on2see: That would be pretty usefull actually
[12:55] <Stormx2> Well I do need IE for web design... and IEs4Linux is a godsend I swear.
[12:55] <Contou1> Stormx2: there are three base resolutions,  1024x768, 800x600, 640x480 . but I need 1280x768 for this widescrene laptop
[12:55] <gavagai> compengi, right-click on a folder in the file manager
[12:55] <gavagai> you can then setup sharing
[12:55] <CineFX3D> Stormx2: Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it!
[12:55] <Contou1> I have it set in xorg.conf, I even tried adidng a modeline
[12:55] <gregg__> Anderson: I don't really understand you question :) the kernel itself provides the API
[12:55] <efren> alguien habla espaol?
[12:55] <Stormx2> Contou1: Restarted X?
[12:55] <jojoman02> Contou1, sometimes when you manually edit xorg.conf it doesn't work....
[12:55] <efren> alguien habla espaol
[12:55] <Contou1> Stormx2: done about 20 times
[12:55] <Stormx2> !es
[12:55] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[12:55] <gregg__> s/you/your/
[12:55] <harveyfly> I need some help in installing ubuntu...
[12:55] <Anderson> gregg__, I thought the API was the interface to the Kernel
[12:55] <jojoman02> Contou1, try running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:56] <Contou1> jojoman02: well, ubuntu itself placed 1280x768 in there
[12:56] <cydrive> need some help in reinstalling windows me on my laptop
[12:56] <Contou1> jojoman02: yep, I tried that, it crashed while detecting the monitor
[12:56] <gregg__> Anderson: it is, but without kernel, no kernel api, that's what I mean
[12:56] <Stormx2> Contou1: Theres a wizard, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg <-- try that
[12:56] <compengi> gavagai, and how do i share files using samba?
[12:56] <Contou1> Stormx2: see above
[12:56] <Anderson> Ok, do you have a good reference on data streams?
[12:56] <jojoman02> Contou1, don't set it to autodetect monitor
[12:56] <Anderson> gregg__, Ok, do you have a good reference on data streams?
[12:57] <Stormx2> cydrive: Ask away...
[12:57] <jojoman02> Contou1, post a bug in launchpad and make sure you specify your monitor version...
[12:57] <gavagai> compengi, that is using samba
[12:57] <Contou1> jojoman02: alright... though I don't believe it will help me, I'll go thru that wizard
[12:57] <on2see> Hey, speaking of resolution, I ran in 1600x1200 fine in XP, but only 1280x1024 in Dapper, why?
[12:57] <gregg__> Anderson: data streams? that's too generic
[12:57] <harveyfly> I have an error during boot the kernel from grub
[12:57] <Stormx2> on2see: Add it to X conf...
[12:57] <Contou1> jojoman02: don't have time for that, and I don't know what kind of display is that on this laptop :)
[12:57] <compengi> gavagai, but how to share the files?
[12:57] <Stormx2> on2see: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:57] <Contou1> it's not mine
[12:57] <Anderson> gregg__, Yea, I was hoping for a catch all document.
[12:58] <on2see> Is that all I have to do?
[12:58] <advant_> Anyone here successfully compiled Engage into Ubuntu?
[12:58] <gavagai> compengi, right click like i said...  then share
[12:58] <harveyfly> it keep printing FATAL: modprobe missing modules.dep during kernel startup
[12:58] <gregg__> Anderson: where are you going?
[12:58] <on2see> To get 1600x1200?
[12:58] <Anderson> gregg__, Anywhere I can.
[12:58] <compengi> ok
[12:58] <jojoman02> Contou1, use HAL to find out, system > administration > device manager
[12:58] <gregg__> Anderson: you want to get the big picture, how drivers work?
[12:59] <Stormx2> on2see: Go through the wizard (keep pressing enter) until you get to the screen res bit. Go down the list to 1600x1200 and press space, then just hit enter till it ends
[12:59] <Kaervek> Does HDC2 = HD2,1?
[12:59] <Anderson> gregg__, I want to get the big picture how linux works... drivers, software, the whole bit. Drivers is a good place to start if you've got some information.
[12:59] <harveyfly> hi.. how can I ask for help here
[12:59] <Anderson> harveyfly, just ask.
[12:59] <on2see> ok thanks
[12:59] <tritium> harveyfly: just state your question as clearly as you can
[01:00] <Stormx2> harveyfly: address everyone as sir
[01:00] <Anderson> lol
[01:00] <harveyfly> ok.. thx
[01:00] <harveyfly> I start my installion from grub
[01:00] <compengi> gavagai, just one more question do i need to set up anything else than ip address and the workgroup in smb.conf to be able to use the sharing and to use the printer from windows system?
[01:01] <harveyfly> then it keep printing FATAL, missing modules.dep on screen
[01:01] <Kaervek> With regards to Hard Drives and partitions, would a drive listed as hdc2 equate to hd2,1 in GRUB?
[01:01] <Stormx2> harveyfly: Odd. Have you install ubuntu?
[01:01] <harveyfly> no
[01:01] <ironfroggy_LT> At the beginning of installation, i got an error saying it could not create the filesystem. then it seemed to progress to about 14% and is idling at "Detecting file systems..."
[01:01] <harveyfly> I want to install... but my laptop has no cdrom
[01:01] <Stormx2> harveyfly: but you've installed grub?
[01:02] <Stormx2> harveyfly: Oh I see.
[01:02] <harveyfly> I follow the instruction here: irc.freenode.net
[01:02] <harveyfly> sorry
[01:02] <Stormx2> XD
[01:02] <harveyfly> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
[01:02] <Stormx2> No prob.
[01:02] <gregg__> Anderson: I'm not exactly a kernel hacker, so I can't help you with that
[01:02] <Contou1> ok, I went thru that wizard in the console, so I could detect the monitor ... "General monitor" - it guessed once again the right resolution "1280x768", this and only this - it wrote the config - but guess what, gdm starts in 1024x768

[01:02] <Anderson> gregg__, alright, thanks anyways.
[01:02] <Anderson> gregg__, where can I get the drivers though?
[01:02] <jjohn> !sis
[01:02] <ubotu> I know nothing about sis - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:02] <Stormx2> Contou1: Check this wiki page:

[01:02] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:03] <Anderson> gregg__, rather, what file format should I be looking for?
[01:03] <Contou1> Stormx2: thanks
[01:03] <harveyfly> I edit my boot.ini and I can use grub to start kernel, but it fail saying I miss some kind of modules.dep files
[01:03] <Contou1> Stormx2: I don't use ubuntu myself, never had this problems...
[01:03] <Contou1> ...with gentoo
[01:04] <ttyfscker> anybody here gotten xgl and compiz to work in xfce4?
[01:04] <gregg__> Anderson: it is now included in the kernel
[01:04] <gregg__> http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/
[01:04] <Anderson> gregg__, I know, you said it might be old though.
[01:04] <Stormx2> harveyfly: Have you downloaded the linux and initrd.gz files to C:\boot?
[01:04] <Anderson> gregg__, I updated the firmware already with the wl_apsta.o v 3.130.20.0
[01:04] <harveyfly> yes I did
[01:05] <harveyfly> initrd.gz and linux
[01:05] <Anderson> gregg__, using bcm43xx-fwcutter
[01:05] <CineFX3D> Stormx2: Is there something like IEs4Linux that doesn't require WINE? :>
[01:05] <Stormx2> CineFX3D: not as far as I know...
[01:05] <Stormx2> CineFX3D: you could try vmware... I'm not sure...
[01:06] <CineFX3D> nah, wine it is then :)
[01:06] <messu> my monitor is reporting that the verticl refresh value is out of range (87 when max is 85) when I try to run at 1440x900. any idea how I can, well, fix that?
[01:06] <on2see> stormx2: I did the wizard, restarted X, and it still doesn't show 1600x1200 in System>Administration>Screen Resolution
[01:06] <gregg__> Anderson: because ubuntu uses an old kernel :)
[01:06] <harveyfly> stormx2: is it possible to install ubuntu from a iso image
[01:07] <Anderson> gregg__, Do you mean 2.6.15 instead of 2.6.17?
[01:07] <skavenge> not that it helps buti never got the kernel bcm43xx driver working either, i used ndiswrapper and got it running fine
[01:07] <Infern0o> Then make and install ipw2200 as well:
[01:07] <Infern0o> Code:
[01:07] <Kaervek> I'm trying to edit GRUB so that it points to the correct drive/partition when loading Ubuntu.  Explore2fs lists my Linux partition as hdc2.  When I point GRUB to the drive and partition, would hdc2 = hd2,1?
[01:07] <Infern0o> cd ..
[01:07] <Infern0o> cd ipw2200-1.0.6
[01:07] <Infern0o> make
[01:07] <gregg__> Anderson: yeah
[01:07] <Infern0o> sudo make install
[01:08] <tritium> Infern0o: why build that from source?
[01:08] <Anderson> gregg__, blast
[01:08] <Infern0o> titium: i'm just a noob following a tutorial... :(
[01:08] <tritium> Infern0o: ipw2200 is already included in the standard ubunt kernel as a module
[01:08] <on2see> stormx2: Any idea about my problem?
[01:08] <Infern0o> tritium :( i executed the sudo sh remove-old already :(
[01:09] <gregg__> Anderson: at the time of 2.6.15 the bcm driver wasn't even included in the kernel
[01:09] <tritium> Infern0o: I dont' know what you're referring to
[01:09] <Infern0o> tritium i removed the firmware already :(
[01:09] <on2see> OK...
[01:09] <Stormx2> on2see: I wouldn't really know...
[01:09] <tritium> Infern0o: from where?
[01:09] <malachi> I can't figure out for the LIFE of me how to change the default menu icon in Dapper.
[01:09] <Stormx2> on2see: Ask at ubuntuforums.org
[01:09] <malachi> Any suggestions?
[01:09] <Anderson> gregg__, It has native support, it's the first kernel that actually identified the device.
[01:09] <Stormx2> on2see: or in #gnome
[01:09] <Infern0o> tritium: lib/modules
[01:09] <harveyfly> What is the best way to install ubuntu without a CD drive
[01:10] <Stormx2> harveyfly: Your best bet is that page you are following
[01:10] <tritium> Infern0o: what on earth for?
[01:10] <messu> can anyone explain to me why X is running at a 87 vert refresh rate when attempting 1440x900 when I've specified a lower maximum
[01:10] <Stormx2> harveyfly: Read everything and make sure you do everything right.
[01:10] <harveyfly> I have tried instlux but it doesn't work, so I try grub
[01:10] <Infern0o> tritium http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26623
[01:10] <gregg__> Anderson: ?
[01:10] <Stormx2> Gotta dash now everyone... school in 8 hours
[01:10] <Infern0o> tritium: i'm following litterally what it's saying there
[01:11] <zagrebchleb> Hello. I don't have any sound on macromedia flash on any flash videos. Any idea why?
[01:11] <ardchoille> I am noticing a few very nice themes in xubuntu-desktop. The reason I don't use GTK1 apps in gnome is because I don't like the way GTK1 apps look. Would GTk1 and GTK2 apps look the same in xfce?
[01:11] <CineFX3D> any news on flash 8 for linux?
[01:11] <harveyfly> I think I did ok... since I can get into the initial start of kernel, but it just a problem of missing lib modules
[01:11] <Anderson> gregg__, when I was on breezy (don't know what kernel version) the system recognized that there was a pci network device, but nothing more. dapper, 2.6.15 recognizes all the details of the device
[01:11] <ardchoille> I suppose I could install a simple GTK1 app and find out. Does anyone know of a small GTK1 app that I can install?
[01:11] <Anderson> gregg__, it has the driver, just not the firmware I guess, because there is a lot of information on the forums about installing the firmware.
[01:11] <tritium> Infern0o: are you still running hoary?
[01:11] <messu> can't even get recognition out of this crowd
[01:12] <ironfroggy_LT> what could cause the installation to fail in creating a filesystem, and where can i look for any logs to get more information?
[01:12] <Anderson> gregg__, I did that, but it's still hardly working.
[01:12] <skavenge> Anderson: i think the networking side of that module is screwed up somehow, id use ndiswrapper, worked fine for me first try
[01:12] <Infern0o> tritium: no
[01:12] <Anderson> skavenge, this livecd I'm on is using NDISWRAPPER and working fine.
[01:12] <Infern0o> tritium arf, no i see it too :(((( the link comes from there though: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo
[01:12] <skavenge> Anderson: so why not use that instead of hassling with the kernel module?
[01:12] <Anderson> skavenge, I just wanted to used the native drivers, if for no other reason than to get a better feel for linux,.
[01:13] <skavenge> ah i see
[01:13] <Anderson> I'm coming off a hardcore addiction to windows.
[01:13] <Eclipse_GSX> is there a program i can use to remote desktop into my ubuntu comp from an xp machine?
[01:13] <KnowledgEngi> synatpic has returned an error
[01:13] <Anderson> I want to dig as deep as I can.
[01:13] <gregg__> Anderson: ubuntu imported some version of the bcm driver into its kernel
[01:13] <tritium> Infern0o: well, you can reinstall the package that contains that file
[01:13] <heretician> Anderson: Ubuntu is the best rehabilitation :P
[01:13] <skavenge> i gave it my best shot got the firmware in, found the card, never got neverwork running, 2 commands with ndiswrapper and it was flying heh
[01:14] <KnowledgEngi> there is a file log that register the error of synaptic ?
[01:14] <Infern0o> tritium: how do i do that? :s i'm a one day linux newbie :o
[01:14] <Anderson> Well, I appreciate the help, I have to get a hair cut.
[01:15] <Anderson> Thanks all, take care.
[01:15] <tritium> Infern0o: wow, welcome to linux!  :)  Which file did you remove?
[01:15] <Infern0o> tritium: give me some time to write the list down ^^
[01:15] <tritium> Infern0o: oh, several?
[01:15] <Infern0o> tritium: yeah
[01:16] <tritium> ok
[01:16] <Infern0o> tritium: all of the same kind though

[01:17] <Eclipse_GSX> how can i remote desktop to ubuntu from XP?
[01:17] <Eclipse_GSX> or vice versa?
[01:17] <jane> Eclipse_GSX, vnc?
[01:17] <Contou1> I've uncommented some lines in /etc/apt/sources.list to be able to get some stuff from universe or whatevre
[01:17] <Infern0o> tritium: and also in kernel: drivers/net/wireless/rtl_ieee80211/ieee80211-rtl.ko

[01:20] <Eclipse_GSX> duelboot: what about using XP to view an ubuntu machine?
[01:20] <paddyvaughan> type those in terminal?
[01:20] <duelboot> Eclipse_GSX, RealVNC...go to tucows and search for vnc
[01:20] <Hexidigital_> paddyvaughan::  no, did iwconfig show any of those?

[01:22] <Hexidigital_> paddy, is wlan0, or eth1 in your list?
[01:22] <Hexidigital_> paddyvaughan::  ^^
[01:23] <duelboot> Eclipse_GSX, you'll have to enable remote desktop (System > Pref > Remote Desktop) on the ubuntu machine...then use VNC in XP to connect to the ubuntu machine
[01:24] <brimble> Anyone read  Ubuntu Hacks - Tips and Tools for Exploring, Using and Tuning Linux from bn.com

[01:30] <Infern0o> ok, how do i do the same for the linux restriced modules?
[01:30] <ardchoille> Eclipse_GSX: I am using xfce (installed xubuntu-desktop) though and it is just a hair faster than gnome

[01:31] <Anderson> gregg__, HA, it's working
[01:31] <Hexidigital_> henzo::  /j #ubuntu-es
[01:31] <MrUbuntu> heretician: Uhhh why don't u install XP if u wanna play games
[01:32] <ardchoille> Eclipse_GSX: Not a bad idea.. I mean the worst that can happen is they say "no", right?
[01:32] <heretician> MrUbuntu: Wow that was helpful.
[01:32] <Infern0o> ok did that
[01:32] <element-ubuntu> MrUbuntu, cedega would work just the same, almost :)
[01:32] <Anderson> gregg__, It seems like the card is extremely sensitive, a few people left the hotspot, and It's working ok
[01:32] <Eclipse_GSX> yea...and i work for the IT dept...so im in good with them
[01:33] <element-ubuntu> I just put a DVD in my DVD burner...a DVD movie to play, but it isn't showing up...what else do I have to do?
[01:33] <GarrettC> Good evening #ubuntu
[01:33] <duelboot> Eclipse_GSX, do you need help walking through it or not?
[01:33] <heretician> MrUbuntu: Hence how I added in the "via Synaptic" -- i'm looking for packaged games, not Windows games
[01:33] <MrUbuntu> element: Yip :)
[01:33] <gregg__> Anderson: nice
[01:33] <ardchoille> !restricted-formats > element-ubuntu

[01:33] <Eclipse_GSX> duelboot i msged u...
[01:33] <GarrettC> Can I get some help on a 6.06 install, anyone?
[01:33] <gnomefreak> GarrettC: only if you reveal your issue to us
[01:33] <Eclipse_GSX> duelboot are u not getting my messges?
[01:34] <ardchoille> !restricted > element-ubuntu
[01:34] <duelboot> yes, sorry
[01:34] <tritium> Infern0o: any results yet?
[01:34] <duelboot> see pm Eclipse_GSX
[01:34] <compengi> under what conditions does the os uses swap files
[01:34] <Infern0o> where do i look? in the map where it was gone?
[01:34] <GarrettC> gnomefreak: Certainly will. =) I go to manually partition hda and receive an error.
[01:34] <tritium> Infern0o: please check to see if the files are there now
[01:34] <andre> Hello, this is the first time I use IRC, and I am not sure if this is the place to look for help. I need some assistance in batch-changing id3 tags of a big mp3 collection. Anyone can help me with that?
[01:34] <duelboot> Eclipse_GSX, can you not see my replies?
[01:34] <MrUbuntu> heretician: Hmmm I don't play games, how about a GP2X ?
[01:34] <gnomefreak> GarrettC: desktop install cd?
[01:35] <GarrettC> I've tried it in the installer itself and also by just loading GParted on the LiveCD.
[01:35] <duelboot> Eclipse_GSX, I'll close and try again
[01:35] <GarrettC> gnomefreak: Yessir.
[01:35] <ardchoille> andre: I use easytag for that.. it works great
[01:35] <tritium> andre: you might try installing easytag, and then using that
[01:35] <heretician> MrUbuntu: I'll check it out. I'm googling my way around :P
[01:35] <tritium> andre: you'll have to enable the universe repository, update your package list, and then you'll be able to install it
[01:35] <gnomefreak> GarrettC: install from alternative cd (is what i would do) the live cd installer has been having issues (lots of bugs)
[01:35] <tritium> !universe > andre
[01:36] <duelboot> Eclipse_GSX, close out all PMs with me an initiate one
[01:36] <MrUbuntu> GP2X's rock.....
[01:36] <Eclipse_GSX> u get it?
[01:36] <Infern0o> ok it's back
[01:36] <Eclipse_GSX> this is weird...
[01:36] <Infern0o> thank you so much
[01:36] <duelboot> yes
[01:36] <Infern0o> so, what do i do now to install my wireless? leave these files and?
[01:36] <duelboot> Eclipse_GSX, close it and you start a PM with me
[01:36] <GarrettC> gnomefreak: I hate to downlaod another ISO image, but if that's what it takes then I'll do it. Wasn't sure if there was another way or something going wrong with the desktop installer.
[01:36] <harveyfly> I only have a 256mb stick, can I boot and install ubuntu from it?
[01:36] <element-ubuntu> I'm trying to install gstreamer0.8-faad so I can play AAC files, but it's not finding the package...an ideas?
[01:37] <ardchoille> duelboot: if you are in pm with Eclipse_GSX, he may not be able to see your posts because you aren't identified with nickserv
[01:37] <andre> I installed Easytag, but it doesn't seem to fit... All tag's contain the following format for Album Name: "(YEAR) Album". I would like to remove the "(YEAR) ". I could not find a way to do it with EasyTag
[01:37] <duelboot> I should be
[01:37] <duelboot> darn
[01:37] <duelboot> hold on
[01:37] <tritium_away> Infern0o: it worked?
[01:37] <gnomefreak> GarrettC: you can keep trying that cd (someone fixed his issue that way) but thats alot of time and frustation
[01:37] <gnomefreak> tritium_away: good night?
[01:37] <GarrettC> gnomefreak: I'll try the alternate CD. Thanks for your help!
[01:37] <thejoe> I have installed gxine plugin for firefox, but when I try to stream a video file within the webpage, the gxine player opens up. How do I get gxine to play inside firefox?
[01:38] <gnomefreak> yw GarrettC
[01:38] <Infern0o> tritium_away: yeah, the files are back, but where do i start now? leave the drivers and?
[01:38] <tritium_away> gnomefreak: off to dinner with a colleague.  See you later, perhaps, before bed...
[01:38] <duelboot> thx ardchoille that was exactly it!
[01:38] <harveyfly> can I boot and install ubuntu from a 256MB usb stick

[01:38] <tritium_away> !wireless > Infern0o
[01:38] <ardchoille> duelboot: ;)
[01:38] <tritium_away> Infern0o: ask ubotu about wireless, please, and follow that.  Sorry, I have to go now...
[01:38] <wheels3572> Where's gconf-editor?
[01:38] <Infern0o> tritium_away: hehe ok, but that site was where the trouble started ^^
[01:39] <Infern0o> !wireless
[01:39] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs with Broadcom Specifics at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper

[01:39] <thejoe> gxine help: I have installed gxine plugin for firefox, but when I try to stream a video file within the webpage, the gxine player opens up. How do I get gxine to play inside firefox?
[01:40] <tritium_away> Infern0o: are you using dapper?  If not, I suggest you upgrade.  Further, you'll need wpa_supplicant.  The easiest method for you will most likely be to install network-manager-gnome, and use that.
[01:40] <wheels3572> Thanks ard but I dont see it anyhere
[01:40] <Anderson> What script controls which daemons start when the system is initializing?
[01:40] <gnomefreak> tritium_away: go!
[01:40] <tritium_away> Anderson: the ones in /etc/rcX.d...
[01:40] <gnomefreak> ;)
[01:40] <tritium_away> gnomefreak: lol :)
[01:40] <ardchoille> wheels3572: open a term and type gconf-editor. If it doesn't return a path, then you may not have it installed
[01:40] <tritium_away> okay, tritium_away is really away now
[01:41] <ubuntu> hi
[01:41] <supertanker> yo guys!

[01:47] <andre> Hello, does anyone know if I can use EasyTag (or other id3 editor) to modify one specific field of all files in my mp3 files? The album field contains also the year (Ex: (2000) Album)). I would like to remove the (Year). If this is not easily doable with EasyTag, can someone give some directions for me to start (I suspect I will have to do write a script using id3tool or othe CLI tool, but I really do not know how or where to look for a tutorial).
[01:47] <harveyfly> does anyone tell me the way to install ubuntu from a 256MB flash drive
[01:48] <Corporal_Dirge> psastebin?
[01:48] <jrib> !pastebin
[01:48] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[01:48] <ardchoille> andre: There is a little button next to each field in easytag, hover your mouse over that button and read what it says
[01:48] <supertanker> FROM a flashdrive? I dunno
[01:48] <Kaervek> morrolan, I'm having a problem where Ubuntu won't boot when I have more than 1 harddrive installed.  It hangs at "Mounting root file system."   I'm dual-booting XP, which boots just fine from GRUB.
[01:48] <Kaervek> morrolan, If I remove the extra drives, Ubuntu works like a charm.
[01:48] <supertanker> so can anyone help me with my stupid modem driver? I don't think it likes the latest GCC
[01:49] <jrib> supertanker: you've been to the dial-up modem wiki?
[01:49] <supertanker> Not yet. It worked perfectly with Ubuntu, but now Kubuntu doesn't like me...
[01:49] <jrib> !dialup
[01:49] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[01:49] <Kaervek> morrolan, any ideas?
[01:50] <roostishaw> what command do i use to launch open office writer?
[01:50] <supertanker> would the bot respond to "dialup sucks"?
[01:50] <jrib> supertanker: oowriter
[01:50] <supertanker> what?
[01:50] <jrib> erm for roostishaw
[01:50] <ardchoille> jrib: Yikes! You are one fast typist :)
[01:50] <supertanker> what?
[01:50] <supertanker> no
[01:50] <jrib> supertanker: I meant what I said for roostishaw
[01:50] <supertanker> i'm not
[01:51] <supertanker> I just use control v alot
[01:51] <supertanker> ah okay
[01:51] <andre> ardchoile: Ok, this would work for each album, but it will give me some work as I have almost 200 albums in the collection.
[01:51] <ardchoille> lol
[01:51] <supertanker> and yes, I can type 45 words a mineut
[01:51] <supertanker> I just cannt spel

[01:51] <thejoe> I have installed gxine plugin for firefox, but when I try to stream a video file within the webpage, the gxine player opens up. How do I get gxine to play inside firefox?
[01:51] <ardchoille> andre: That little button will work for any and/or all files opened with easytag, And you can choose which ones to save.
[01:52] <ardchoille> andre: You can open all your files, change only the ones you want changed, and save just those songs.
[01:52] <supertanker> um....the dialupmodemhowto is blank
[01:52] <Infern0o> how do i know if i'm using dapper?
[01:52] <deimos_> thejoe: try to remove it and install mozilla-mplayer instead. it works for me
[01:52] <gnomefreak> Infern0o: lsb_release -a
[01:52] <gnomefreak> Infern0o: type that in terminal
[01:53] <cchristn> hi everybody. is anyone here familiar with setting up mysql?
[01:53] <Infern0o> yeah ok, codename dapper
[01:53] <thejoe> I've tried that, but it didn't work. I'm trying to play an embedded quicktime movie.
[01:53] <andre> ardchoille: the problem is that I would like to change all the files...
[01:53] <vinboy> is there a way to remove the dependencies along with the original package?
[01:53] <gnomefreak> vinboy: only if you installed it with aptitude (maybe synaptic
[01:53] <ardchoille> andre: you can use that button to change them all too
[01:53] <supertanker> if you feel like typing in all the dependancies...
[01:53] <tich> i'm having a problem with nautilus, it crashes every time i try to open a folder-- can anyone help?
[01:54] <Hexidigital_> cchristn::  what do you need to know?
[01:54] <jrib> vinboy: if you used aptitude to install it, it will do it automatically.  If not, then you'll want to take a look at deborphan
[01:54] <vinboy> gnomefreak: thanks
[01:54] <vinboy> jrib: thanks
[01:54] <supertanker> Why doesn't Kubuntu come with the GIMP or the Alien package
[01:54] <gnomefreak> vinboy:
[01:54] <vinboy> jrib: is this new in the Dapper?
[01:54] <jrib> tich: try running it from a terminal and see if you get any useful output
[01:54] <ardchoille> tich: Open a term and launch nautilus from the term, and see if there is any error output
[01:54] <Corporal_Dirge> Ok, pasted. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18184 I enabled Multiverse etc. through synaptic.
[01:54] <deimos_> thejoe: all the trailers on the apple website work for me. inside the browser. i don't know what to say..
[01:54] <gnomefreak> vinboy: no
[01:54] <vinboy> jrib: i used to use ubuntu but it didn't have this feature
[01:54] <jrib> vinboy: what? deborphan?
[01:54] <gnomefreak> vinboy: you have to install it
[01:54] <vinboy> gnomefreak: oh ic.. what is the name?

[01:55] <gnomefreak> OisacX: hi
[01:55] <jrib> Corporal_Dirge: you only have dapper-backports multiverse enabled, you need dapper multiverse.  Are you comfortable editing that file with a text editor?
[01:55] <cchristn> Hexidigital_, i'm trying to set up ubuntu server, basically a lamp server using this howto: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06_p4
[01:55] <cchristn> but when i get to the last command on the page, i get an error message
[01:55] <Corporal_Dirge> Sure, how do I run it in gui as su?
[01:55] <andre> ardchoille: I know but every 10-15 files have one Album info. Do I have to select all the files from one album, remove the YEAR from that album, then select the songs for the next album, remove the year, and so on?
[01:55] <jrib> Corporal_Dirge: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:56] <OisacX> I'm looking to improve the 3D of my Ati Radeon 9800 pro... and I'm really newbie to linux and Ubuntu
[01:56] <ardchoille> andre: That's how I do it.. I haven't seen any faster way with easytag
[01:56] <jrib> Corporal_Dirge: add the word " multiverse" to the end of lines 17,18, 32, and 33.  Then run 'sudo apt-get update' and look for sun-java5-jdk again
[01:56] <cchristn> Hexidigital_, it's not really important that mysql gets installed, since this site will only be offering static pages, but I'd like to get it running while I'm at it
[01:56] <ardchoille> andre: Do you not want the year in any of the songs?
[01:57] <wheels3572> Can someone help me on the side here I am a bit confused on some directions I was given earlier

[01:57] <emole> wondering if anyone can point me to a good resource for noobla's (so I don't bug you all with annoying questions you've answered 200 million times)
[01:57] <jrib> wheels3572: what were the directions about?
[01:57] <dadgumit> have an issue that I need help on: I finally got SMP enabled, but now everything is happening really fast, for instance if I hit a key on the key board (say "a") four of that key will show up at once (ie "aaaa"), this is NOT repeat rate, if I hold a key down, it repeats at a normal speed. I am also experiencing, wierdness with mouse clicking etc.. windows will lock up (work around seems to be alt tabing)  Also, if I am not in X
[01:57] <asusathlo> i was wondering if anyone could help me to get my tv tuner working, and yes i am a total newb?
[01:57] <Hexidigital_> cchristn::  what are you having a problem with?
[01:57] <OisacX> BRB
[01:57] <wheels3572> jrib: look in PM I will show you the directions given if that is ok?
[01:58] <ardchoille> andre: you can select ALL songs, blank out the year field and press the button next to the year field.. that will remove the year from all selected songs.
[01:58] <asusathlo> i have tvtime installed and it says cannot open video0
[01:58] <Ishmael> please what must I to add in fstab for load a vfat disk in the start

[01:59] <cchristn> the first one: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'LAMPbox.hsd1.tn.comcast.net' failed
[01:59] <andre> ardchoile: no, I started putting the Year in album names when I used (crap) iTunes, so it would order the albums correctly. In Amarok, I can order by Artist / Year (wihich is exactly what I would like to do), and I don't need the year info in the Album
[01:59] <jrib> tich: did you make nautilus crash?
[01:59] <sproingie> is there any way to make the 5.1 digital output work on the realtek ALC850 on an nforce3 motherboard without using nvidia's nforce drivers?
[01:59] <Hexidigital_> !paste > cchristn
[01:59] <duelboot> thx ardchoille
[01:59] <Hexidigital_> cchristn::  pastebin the messages.. check your pm from ubotu
[01:59] <Infern0o> jrib: well yeah, that's exactly what i'm trying to do :)
[01:59] <ardchoille> andre: ahh, ok
[02:00] <dadgumit> no love?
[02:00] <cchristn> Hexidigital_, pm?
[02:00] <jrib> Infern0o: sudo aptitude install network-manager-gnome    (or just use synaptic)
[02:00] <wheels3572> jrib:  How do I send it lol on that site lol
[02:00] <ardchoille> duelboot: You can always do a /joj #my_own_little_channel  and have someone meet you there :)
[02:00] <jrib> wheels3572: you just paste it there, press send, and then give us the URL to the page ehre
[02:00] <ardchoille> */join
[02:00] <duelboot> okay Ishmael here's what you need to do...this assumes your device is /dev/sda1 and your mount point is /share (adjust for your needs)....  /dev/sda1         /share      vfat       defaults         0                0
[02:00] <tich> jrib: maybe. if i remember correctly it wasn't loading something so then i 'killed' it and it hasn't loaded anything since... but it was stuck before i killed it.
[02:01] <wheels3572> jrib:  Nevermind I found it lol
[02:01] <dadgumit> lil help?
[02:01] <wheels3572> ard:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18185
[02:01] <andre> ardchoille: well, I just saw that I can tell EasyTag to build a Tree by Artist / Album. I think this will make the process a lot easier
[02:02] <Howitzer> How do i figure out which /dev/*** is my DVD reader?
[02:02] <asusathlo> how do i check to see if the system has recognized the tuner?
[02:02] <Hexidigital_> cchristn::  private message
[02:02] <jrib> tich: you may also try a new user to see if it happens there.  If it only happens with your user, then it is probably some configuration file in your $HOME that is messing it up
[02:02] <duelboot> Howitzer, check dmesg  and see where it's showing up
[02:02] <ardchoille> andre: Really? I never knew that.. you're ahead of me already :)
[02:02] <tich> jrib: but i've even reinstalled nautilus (using synaptic) and i've restarted the machine a bunch of times.
[02:03] <Hexidigital_> dadgumit::  what is the problem?
[02:03] <verix> hey, whenever I log out from X, my monitor doesn't turn back on. how do I fix that?
[02:03] <dadgumit> [18:57]  dadgumit: have an issue that I need help on: I finally got SMP enabled, but now everything is happening really fast, for instance if I hit a key on the key board (say "a") four of that key will show up at once (ie "aaaa"), this is NOT repeat rate, if I hold a key down, it repeats at a normal speed. I am also experiencing, wierdness with mouse clicking etc.. windows will lock up (work around seems to be alt tabing)  Also
[02:03] <GarrettC> Has anyone played with the NTFS-3G driver yet on Ubuntu?
[02:03] <ardchoille> tich: Do you have a ~/.nautilus folder?
[02:03] <duelboot> GarrettC, yes just today and it worked perfectly
[02:03] <Hexidigital_> dadgumit::  sorry, i have no experience with SMB
[02:03] <Hexidigital_> *SMP
[02:03] <cchristn> Hexidigital_, pastebin is being really slow for me, I'll get you the url when I get it
[02:03] <dadgumit> :-\
[02:03] <Hexidigital_> cchristn::  ok
[02:03] <dadgumit> nbd thanks anywho
[02:04] <Ishmael> ok thanks duelboot, another personal question... have you found any mistake in my english?
[02:04] <GarrettC> duelboot: I realize it
[02:04] <jrib> wheels3572: want to join me in #ubuntu-classroom?
[02:04] <Anderson> does anyone have experience programming c++ on linux?
[02:04] <duelboot> GarrettC, saw it on digg.com and followed the link and instructions
[02:04] <verix> Anderson: minor
[02:04] <wheels3572> jrib:  Yes please
[02:04] <Anderson> verix, What compiler do you use?
[02:04] <duelboot> Ishmael, it's fine...i understood your question
[02:04] <andre> ardchoille: anyway, thank you very much... I will use that (even though it will be boring, I think it will be easier than learning how to write a script to do it for me :-)
[02:04] <cchristn> Hexidigital_, here it is: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18186
[02:04] <ardchoille> tich: I saw your nautilus problem a lot when I ran ##gnome. You can rename ~/.nautilus to ~/.nautilus.bak and try to start nautilus again. If that doesn't help, you can always rename it back to ~/.nautilus
[02:04] <verix> I think it was gtk+, I can't remember
[02:04] <Hexidigital_> cchristn::  ok, one second
[02:04] <jyoungxx> how do we set the ssh server port to another port?
[02:04] <GarrettC> duelboot: I realize it's still beta, but would you recommend it for a "mission critical" system? (my home server)
[02:04] <duelboot> GarrettC, any issues?
[02:04] <ardchoille> andre: You're welcome :)
[02:04] <godtvisken> Hi, I have an ALi M5455 soundcard. It works fine in ubuntu, but only one program at a time. I must use each application while all other apps that use sound are closed
[02:05] <verix> I tried compiling a .cpp file with gcc and it just told me something else
[02:05] <godtvisken> What can I do?
[02:05] <Anderson> ok, is it a typical debian package/
[02:05] <tich> jreb if i sudo nautilus it works.
[02:05] <GarrettC> duelboot: I saw it on Digg today as well and was wondering if anyone had experimented with it. :D
[02:05] <duelboot> GarrettC, after only one day....uhhhhh no, but only because I just don't know enough
[02:05] <verix> so try just gcc your_file.cpp and it'll probably tell you what to use
[02:05] <ardchoille> tich: I am thinking you have a misconfigured file in your $HOME for nautilus
[02:05] <Ishmael> ok duelboot thanks for your help again
[02:05] <Anderson> ok
[02:05] <duelboot> GarrettC, I have it on mine...not mission critical though
[02:05] <tich> ardchoille: i do have a .nautilus folder
[02:05] <Hexidigital_> cchristn::  try that command w/o all of the dns stuff... just set up LAMPbox, not LAMPbox.comcast.etc
[02:05] <dadgumit> [18:57]  dadgumit: have an issue that I need help on: I finally got SMP enabled, but now everything is happening really fast, for instance if I hit a key on the key board (say "a") four of that key will show up at once (ie "aaaa"), this is NOT repeat rate, if I hold a key down, it repeats at a normal speed. I am also experiencing, wierdness with mouse clicking etc.. windows will lock up (work around seems to be alt tabing)  Also
[02:05] <verix> anyway, can anyone help me with my question?
[02:05] <dadgumit> whats your question verix?
[02:05] <mustech> hi everybody
[02:05] <duelboot> GarrettC, if I were running a server at home needing it, I would do it... but that is just me
[02:06] <cchristn> alright, lemme give you the error when i do that :)
[02:06] <ardchoille> tich: try renaming that folder and see what happens
[02:06] <jyoungxx> how do we set the ssh server port to another port?
[02:06] <lufis> Can anyone assist me in finding out how to encrypt a particular directory in /home?
[02:06] <GarrettC> I guess I have nothing to loose, really. Just a year's worth of photography and my music collection.
[02:06] <GarrettC> :P
[02:06] <verix> jyoungxx: ssh -D your_port you@host I think
[02:06] <jyoungxx> isn't /etc/ssh/ssh_config just the client
[02:06] <duelboot> GarrettC, back it up first then you have nothing to lose
[02:06] <jyoungxx> ok thx
[02:06] <jyoungxx> oh no
[02:07] <cchristn> Hexidigital_, alright it's posted
[02:07] <jyoungxx> I mean I need to set the server port on the local machine
[02:07] <Hexidigital_> cchristn::  same url?
[02:07] <GarrettC> duelboot: Probably will do that, I've needed to for some time.
[02:07] <duelboot> GarrettC, I saw a 400GB drive at Sam's today for $159.....
[02:07] <verix> oh!
[02:07] <verix> that I don't know, sorry
[02:07] <godtvisken> Hi, I have an ALi M5455 soundcard. It works fine in ubuntu, but only one program at a time. I must use each application while all other apps that use sound are closed. What can I do?
[02:07] <GarrettC> duelboot: SATA?
[02:07] <cchristn> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18187
[02:07] <duelboot> hmmmmm....don't recall, but prob so
[02:07] <Corporal_Dirge> ok, everything worked with java, thanks jrib.
[02:07] <Ishmael> what I need for configurate my ati radeon in my ubuntu
[02:08] <jrib> Corporal_Dirge: np
[02:08] <mustech> can i disable dosfsck scaning on boot
[02:08] <GarrettC> duelboot: Sounds like a good deal. I'll burn my photography to some DVD's and make a copy to an extra hard drive I have around here just in case.
[02:08] <Ishmael> I have installed the fglrx drivers but I don't know what to do now
[02:08] <ardchoille> tich: Are you in gnome right now? If so, do you have desktop icons and a desktop right-click menu working?
[02:08] <stormchas3r> I have installed wpasupplement, and How can I get on my ap with wpa encrytpt?
[02:08] <asusathlo> can anyone tell me if it is even possible to make this all in wonder radeon 9800 work with tvtime?
[02:08] <GarrettC> I could really care less (well, I do, but...err..) about my music.
[02:08] <lufis> Hi. I have a directory FULL of pornography ranging from vanilla to straight up disturbing and I would love to be able to encrypt it and/or make it so it is only readable by using a password. Any ideas?
[02:08] <Hexidigital_> cchristn::  try this... mysqladmin -h localhost -u root -p
[02:08] <beasty> i installed xgl but i cant get it working
[02:09] <duelboot> GarrettC, there you go...then have at it with ntfs-3g
[02:09] <GarrettC> duelboot: Thanks man for your time.
[02:09] <cchristn> Hexidigital_, can i append the password part to the command you gave me?
[02:09] <Anderson> Why would apt-get install g++ not install the dependancies if I am running as a superuser?
[02:09] <duelboot> GarrettC, no prob...that'st the ubuntu way
[02:09] <cchristn> guess there's an easy way to find out...
[02:10] <Ishmael> what do I need for configurate my ati radeon in ubuntu
[02:10] <Ishmael> I have installed the fglrx drivers but I don't know what to do now
[02:10] <jollyroger> how can i reformat my hard drive when an install doesn't work
[02:10] <verix> so, after I log out of X, my screen doesn't display the login screen. can anyone help me with this?
[02:10] <sproingie> lufis: http://www.ppcnerds.org/displayarticle186.html
[02:10] <lufis> Sproingie: Thaxu so much!
[02:10] <cchristn> Hexidigital_, i added the password part to the end, everything seems to be ok now
[02:10] <Anderson> Why would apt-get install g++ not install the dependancies if I am running as a superuser?
[02:10] <ardchoille> !build-essential > Anderson
[02:10] <duelboot> GarrettC, I have a 300GB w/ all my music and photos...too bad ntfs-3g wasn't around when I bought it...so it's FAT32 since I have windows on my network
[02:10] <tich> ardchoille, so i thought i did but i don't know how to rename a directory. what would the command be?
[02:11] <cchristn> Hexidigital_, thanks for the help, I don't know if it's running right but like I said I just wanted to get the install, I can worry with config later
[02:11] <ardchoille> tich: mv ~/.nautilus ~/.nautilus.bak
[02:11] <stormchas3r> I have installed wpasupplement, and How can I get on my ap with wpa encrytpt?
[02:11] <GarrettC> duelboot: Ouch. Plan on switching over soon?
[02:11] <jrib> !xgl > beasty
[02:11] <sproingie> lufis: the easier thing to do really is just keep it on a thumb drive
[02:11] <KomiaPoika> lufis: what about rm -rf pr0n
[02:11] <tich> ardchoille, i'm one step behind you. no i dont have icons and right clicking doesn't work but gnome is fine.
[02:12] <Hexidigital_> cchristn::  ok :)
[02:12] <lufis> And while I'm at it, any torrent client suggestions? Azureus is simply too bloated and Ktorrent sucks bigtime.
[02:12] <jollyroger> so what do i do to reformat my hdd
[02:12] <lufis> KomiaPoika: Uh... remove?
[02:12] <morrolan> Can anyone please tell me why Lyx will not let me view or export LaTeX documents as PDF?
[02:12] <jollyroger> bit torrent
[02:12] <duelboot> GarrettC, maybe, but need to find room to first backup my existing 200+GB of info so I can convert it to NTFS
[02:12] <ardchoille> tich: ok, the reason you don't have those things working is because nautilus manages those things and the rest of the desktop. Once you get nautilus working, those things will work also
[02:12] <andrewski> has anyone else had problems with bittorrent taking 100% of the CPU, even when not using any network bandwidth?
[02:12] <jollyroger> nope
[02:12] <KomiaPoika> lufis: why do you want your pr0n unreadable?
[02:12] <morrolan> Can someone please tell me how to: xmodmap -e "keysym Alt_R = Mode_switch"  when it doesn't recognise my Alt_R key?
[02:12] <GarrettC> andrewski: What client are you using?
[02:13] <lufis> KomiaPoika: I don't want it unreadable, just private
[02:13] <duelboot> GarrettC, while not exactly the deal I saw today, check this out:  http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?catg=5795
[02:13] <duelboot> GarrettC, good talking to you...gotta run
[02:13] <jollyroger> just put a password on the startup
[02:13] <KomiaPoika> lufis: isn't your user password enough or are you scared some policeman to hard mount your hard drive?
[02:14] <Anderson> ardchoille, I need a compiler to build software, not packages.I am taking programming classes, and learning Linux on my own at the same time.
[02:14] <andrewski> GarrettC: i've had this with freeloader and gnome-btdownload.  those are the only two i've tried.
[02:14] <GarrettC> Later. Thanks again.
[02:14] <River> where do I go to ask a specific GnuCash operating question ?
[02:14] <tich> ardchoille: i renamed .nautilus but it still wouldn't open a folder.
[02:14] <lufis> KomiaPoika: It could happen!
[02:14] <Anderson> ardchoille, I tried apt-get install g++, which normally installs dependencies as well, but it didn't
[02:14] <KomiaPoika> lufis: what could happen
[02:14] <GarrettC> andrewski: Hold a few seconds.
[02:14] <verix> so, after I log out of X, my screen doesn't display the login screen. can anyone help me with this?
[02:14] <lufis> KomiaPoika: I don't know, a little nosy someone
[02:14] <andrewski> River: maybe gnucash's mailing list?  i also know there are a handful of gnucash people on the ubuntu forums, but that wouldn't be ideal.
[02:14] <andrewski> GarrettC: sure... i've read !patience. ;)
[02:14] <Hexidigital_> Anderson::  did you install build-essential?
[02:15] <verix> !patience
[02:15] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[02:15] <verix> hm
[02:15] <ardchoille> Anderson: I am learning C/C++ too and I installed build-essential and that took care of the compiler and its deps :)
[02:15] <River> andrewski: thanks .. I will try the mailing list
[02:15] <andrewski> verix: i've read it.  it was rather unnecessary at the moment. ;)
[02:15] <ardchoille> tich: ok, name it back.. that wasn't the problem.
[02:15] <andrewski> River: good luck!  by the way, did you see the 2.0 packages on the forums?
[02:15] <Anderson> ardchoille, ok, for future reference though, why isn't apt-get installing the dependencies?
[02:15] <dadgumit> [18:57]  dadgumit: have an issue that I need help on: I finally got SMP enabled, but now everything is happening really fast, for instance if I hit a key on the key board (say "a") four of that key will show up at once (ie "aaaa"), this is NOT repeat rate, if I hold a key down, it repeats at a normal speed. I am also experiencing, wierdness with mouse clicking etc.. windows will lock up (work around seems to be alt tabing)  Also
[02:15] <verix> andrewski: I wanted to read it :P
[02:16] <verix> just to see if I was spamming or not
[02:16] <andrewski> verix: oh, lol
[02:16] <corsachriz> re
[02:16] <ardchoille> Anderson: That I don't know.. but I know the proper way to install the compiler in Ubuntu is install build-essential
[02:16] <River> andrewski: sure did ... but I need to find out if the package can do what I need it to before downloading it
[02:16] <andrewski> River: ah.
[02:16] <corsachriz> hello, can somebody say me, how i can activate Xfce? i downloadedthe package, but nothing happens
[02:16] <farky> what's an easy way to transfer files between to machines over a network besides FTP?
[02:16] <morrolan> Can someone please tell me how to: xmodmap -e "keysym Alt_R = Mode_switch"  when it doesn't recognise my Alt_R key?
[02:16] <Hexidigital_> Anderson::  sudo apt-get install build-essential
[02:16] <ardchoille> tich: You might be able to get some detailed help for nautilus is ##gnome
[02:17] <sproingie> wow
[02:17] <Anderson> i'm in su
[02:17] <andrewski> River: what's your question?
[02:17] <morrolan> I'm trying to insert special characters in OpenOffice without having to goto the menu every time.
[02:17] <River> andrewski: just found a GnuCash IRC channel ...
[02:17] <andrewski> River: ooh!
[02:17] <Anderson> Hexidigital_, I'm in su
[02:17] <sproingie> would be nice if nvidia's installer didn't remove my existing interfaces before it knew whether it was successful
[02:17] <corsachriz> nobody? mhhh...
[02:17] <River> Andrewski: i can't seem to locate the inventory feature in GnuCash ... i was wondering if it has one or if it is called something other than inventory
[02:17] <Hexidigital_> Anderson::  you shouldn't use root in ubuntu
[02:17] <andrewski> River: dunno
[02:17] <Hexidigital_> Anderson::  there is no reason to
[02:18] <farky> what's an easy way to transfer files between to machines over a network besides FTP?
[02:18] <tich> ardchoille: okay thanks. is there any way to just reset nautilus to it's original settings?
[02:18] <River> andrewski: me neither ... so i am off to GnuCash IRC land ... hopefully tobe enlightened - sigh -
[02:18] <ardchoille> tich: There is, but I forgot how
[02:18] <ardchoille> farky: I hear scp is good for that
[02:18] <bimberi> farky: sftp, samba, rsync, unison ... are all ways. Easy?  not sure. :)
[02:18] <andrewski> River: that's been on my todo list for a while. :-P
[02:18] <andrewski> River: good for you. :)
[02:18] <dadgumit> [18:57]  dadgumit: have an issue that I need help on: I finally got SMP enabled, but now everything is happening really fast, for instance if I hit a key on the key board (say "a") four of that key will show up at once (ie "aaaa"), this is NOT repeat rate, if I hold a key down, it repeats at a normal speed. I am also experiencing, wierdness with mouse clicking etc.. windows will lock up (work around seems to be alt tabing)  Also
[02:19] <farky> bimberi: just to occasionally transfer some files over a network
[02:19] <verix> can anyone help me with that problem then or is that a no? :<
[02:19] <ardchoille> dadgumit: Could that be an issue with the kb and mouse sections of xorg.conf ?
[02:19] <stormchas3r> I have installed wpasupplement, and How can I get on my ap with wpa encrytpt?
[02:20] <bimberi> farky: personally i use sftp for that - it comes with the ssh package
[02:20] <GarrettC> andrewski: I really don't know man, I just snooped around a bit and couldn't find anything relevant on Google. I'm by no means a Linux guru.
[02:20] <jollyroger> does anyone know how to boot in DOS w/o starting windows
[02:20] <dadgumit> ardchoille, I don't knwo I am a gigantic nubosaurus in linux/ubuntu (least ways, I haven't had a set up for a few years
[02:20] <sproingie> jollyroger: there is no DOS underneath XP
[02:20] <andrewski> GarrettC: i've only seen things relating to zonealarm windows firewall, but thanks for looking also. :(
[02:20] <farky> bimberi: how do you use it?
[02:20] <eyequeue> jollyroger, this is #ubuntu
[02:20] <jollyroger> i'm running win98
[02:20] <Corporal_Dirge> jollyroger press F8 booting
[02:20] <andrewski> verix: sure, i'll bite.  can you get to a terminal via ctrl+alt+f1?
[02:20] <sproingie> jollyroger: make a dos boot disk is the only way i know of
[02:20] <jollyroger> ok couldn't remember haven't done it in a while thanks
[02:21] <GarrettC> andrewski: I'll keep looking around and if I find something, I can give you a hollar. What kind of chipset/ethernet card do you have? E-mail address where I can further contact you?
[02:21] <dadgumit> andrewski, related question how do you get out of terminal once you are in it
[02:21] <godtvisken> Hi, I have an ALi M5455 soundcard. It works fine in ubuntu, but only one program at a time. I must use each application while all other apps that use sound are closed. What can I do?
[02:21] <andrewski> dadgumit: of the F1 terminal?
[02:21] <dadgumit> (ctrl+alt+f1 method)
[02:21] <eyequeue> dadgumit, "exit"
[02:21] <dadgumit> andrewski yes
[02:21] <bimberi> farky: it's very similar to ftp, but you can use nautilus to do it in a GUI fashion - via Places -> Connect to Server...
[02:21] <andrewski> dadgumit: ctrl+alt+f7 will get you back to X.
[02:21] <dadgumit> andrewski: thanks
[02:21] <Ishmael> what do I need for configurate my ati radeon in ubuntu
[02:21] <Ishmael> I have installed the fglrx drivers but I don't know what to do now
[02:21] <bimberi> !ati
[02:21] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:21] <imc_> My toolbar (Applications, Places, System, etc) , which usually sits on the top of the gnome desktop screen, has moved to the left side. How can I drag it back?
[02:22] <farky> bimberi: i am trying to connect to a headless server
[02:22] <dadgumit> ardchoille: do youknow much about the keyboard /mouse settings in xorg.conf?
[02:22] <mister_roboto> !sound
[02:22] <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
[02:22] <wasauce> speaking of scp is there an easy way to scp something back to a local directory without inputting the local address for example if I am sshed into my box and i want to scp a file to my laptop is there a way to do this?
[02:22] <Ishmael> thanks
[02:22] <GarrettC> andrewski: I'll keep looking around and if I find something, I can give you a hollar. What kind of chipset/ethernet card do you have? E-mail address where I can further contact you?
[02:22] <andrewski> GarrettC: sure.  i have an intel pentium M, with an intel integrated wifi card.  my email is andrew.conkling@gmail.com.  appreciate it.  have you noticed the same?
[02:22] <eyequeue> dadgumit, att ctrl won't log you out though, do that first
[02:22] <andrewski> GarrettC: i was typing. ^_^
[02:22] <GarrettC> Sorry, didn't think you were going to respond. I need to read !patience.
[02:22] <andrewski> eyequeue: good point.
[02:22] <GarrettC> :D
[02:22] <bimberi> farky: it also has a command line mode - like ftp
[02:22] <andrewski> GarrettC: lol
[02:22] <dadgumit> eyequeue: thanks
[02:22] <Anderson> I installed a newer version of libc6 than is recognized by the debian packages, and creating dependency issues, how can i fix it?
[02:22] <ardchoille> dadgumit: I only know that you can change those settings with  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:22] <andrewski> verix: i missed anything you might have said in response.
[02:23] <jrattner> What file in /etc/ contains the wireless neworks + wireless WEP keys for those networks?
[02:23] <farky> bimberi: thanks, i got it
[02:23] <dadgumit> ardchoille: thanks
[02:23] <GarrettC> andrewski: Haven't done much Torrenting in Ubuntu, really.
[02:23] <bimberi> farky: np :)
[02:23] <Anderson> Apt-get says it is the newest version, so it won't install the old one, but the packages i try to install that depend on it require the older one.
[02:23] <cchristn> Hexidigital_, check out this error message with postfix, if you're not too busy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18188
[02:23] <asusathlo> all in wonder in ubuntu?
[02:24] <imc_> Double post:  toolbar (Applications, Places, System, etc) , which usually sits on the top of the gnome desktop screen, has moved to the left side. How can I drag it back?
[02:24] <Anderson> Apt-get says it is the newest version, so it won't install the old one, but the packages i try to install that depend on it require the older one.
[02:24] <mister_roboto> jrattner: /etc/networks/interfaces
[02:24] <Anderson> Apt-get says it is the newest version, so it won't install the old one, but the packages i try to install that depend on it require the older one.
[02:24] <Anderson> I installed a newer version of libc6 than is recognized by the debian packages, and creating dependency issues, how can i fix it?
[02:24] <andrewski> imc_: right-click, move, or if lock on panel is checked, uncheck it first.
[02:24] <verix> oh oops sorry about that andrewski
[02:24] <eyequeue> imc_, right click on the panel and select properties
[02:24] <verix> lemme get to it, ctrl+alt+f1, right?
[02:24] <imc_> Thanks andrewski, checking
[02:24] <GarrettC> andrewski: Silly question, but do you by chance have a dual-boot system where you can test a different OS?
[02:25] <andrewski> GarrettC: yes, i could test on windows.
[02:25] <bimberi> !away > F_roZeN
[02:25] <GarrettC> andrewski: Done much torrenting on Windows?
[02:25] <Anderson> I installed a newer version of libc6 than is recognized by the debian packages, and creating dependency issues, how can i fix it?
[02:25] <Anderson> Apt-get says it is the newest version, so it won't install the old one, but the packages i try to install that depend on it require the older one.
[02:25] <cchristn> Hexidigital_, don't worry about it now, i figured it out myself :)
[02:25] <andrewski> GarrettC: no, i do mine on linux, not much on windows. :)
[02:25] <andrewski> GarrettC: but i could certainly test.
[02:26] <Hexidigital_> cchristn::  sorry, i was afk, and didn't see your message
[02:26] <jrib> Anderson: you can do sudo apt-get install package_name=version, to force a version, though I don't know exactly what you did
[02:26] <Anderson> ah!
[02:26] <Anderson> I'll try that
[02:26] <eyequeue> Anderson, changing libc6 is a really good way to hose your system, why did you do that?
[02:26] <GarrettC> andrewski: I don't really know if it'll even replicate the problem but...it's worth a shot. Might keep it in the back of your head.
[02:26] <roostishaw> _TomB, are you the one behind nUbuntu?
[02:27] <_TomB> yes
[02:27] <verix_> andrewski: I can get to the terminal fine... but now my monitor blanked out when I tried to return to X
[02:27] <chrisk> hello all
[02:27] <andrewski> verix_: hmm, sounds like X is not running.
[02:27] <eyequeue> verix, try f7 f8 etc, sequentially
[02:27] <Anderson> eyequeue, i was trying to install alien, which requires a newer version of libc6 than is availible from the ubuntu repositories
[02:27] <andrewski> GarrettC: yeah
[02:27] <verix_> still nothing
[02:27] <verix_> I'm gonna reboot it
[02:28] <eyequeue> Anderson, which release?
[02:28] <andrewski> verix_:  not yet!
[02:28] <verix_> too late :<
[02:28] <godtvisken> Hi, I have an ALi M5455 soundcard. It works fine in ubuntu, but only one program at a time. I must use each application while all other apps that use sound are closed. What can I do?
[02:28] <verix_> I'll just redo the problem state I was in heh
[02:28] <andrewski> verix_: try 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start' ...oh. :(
[02:28] <Anderson> 2.3.6-15
[02:28] <Anderson> verse 2.3.6-0ubuntu20
[02:28] <_TomB> roostishaw: did you want something?
[02:28] <eyequeue> Anderson, which ubuntu release?
[02:28] <verix_> andrewski: I can duplicate the problem every time, don't worry :)
[02:29] <Anderson> ubuntu version >> 2.3.6-0ubuntu20
[02:29] <SomeoneElse-slee> is there any mailserver with a GUI?
[02:29] <andrewski> verix_: ugh... it happens every time?
[02:29] <verix_> yeah, I get this a lot
[02:29] <eyequeue> Anderson, dapper? 6.06?
[02:29] <verix_> when I log out, it blacks out my monitor
[02:29] <verix_> it's weird
[02:29] <roostishaw> , yes. im wondering how you make the edges rounded on the panel in fluxbox
[02:29] <andrewski> verix_: dapper?  what kind of vid card?
[02:29] <verix_> dapper, radeon mobility 9600 with fglrx
[02:29] <andrewski> verix_: which driver?
[02:29] <chrisk> linux newbie here....I have this "live" version of Ubuntu which works on an old PC I have that has a trashed boot sector, so the windows OS will not load up...is there any way to access my files on the harddrive (in a windows tree) from Ubuntu?
[02:30] <roostishaw> _TomB, yes. im wondering how you make the edges rounded on the panel in fluxbox
[02:30] <verix_> fglrx, or is that not the driver?
[02:30] <Anderson> it's dapper, i thin its 6.06
[02:30] <Banyon> is there anyone here that actualy works for Ubuntu? I found what was causing my issues with my microphone not working(sorta).
[02:30] <_TomB> roostishaw: toolbar.shaped: true
[02:30] <_TomB> in theme.cfg
[02:30] <andrewski> verix_: no, that's it.
[02:30] <Coir> Is it possible to use Enlightenment with Xfce?
[02:30] <verix_> mmkay
[02:30] <Anderson> eyequeue, Are there any other versions of dapper?
[02:30] <verix_> well I'm back in X on that laptop
[02:30] <verix> want me to go to tty1 again?
[02:30] <sproingie> anyone know how to make digital output work on an ALC850 sound card?
[02:30] <andrewski> verix: hmm, do you know if this happens with ati?
[02:30] <andrewski> (ati driver)
[02:30] <verix> it does
[02:30] <_TomB> roostishaw: http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_rounded_corners
[02:30] <verix> well actually
[02:31] <verix> the logging out thing and it going black? no, it doesn't
[02:31] <andrewski> verix: hmm.
[02:31] <verix> I honestly think it might be a conflict with the MESA display drivers but I'm not sure
[02:31] <Corporal_Dirge> Is ir me or is the Mozilla Adblock plugin not downloading? http://adblock.mozdev.org/dev.html
[02:31] <Anderson> eyequeue, I am downgrading right now.
[02:31] <andrewski> verix: any tweaks to your xorg.conf?  xgl?  anything else?
[02:31] <roostishaw> _TomB, thanks! by the way, i love nUbuntu
[02:31] <eyequeue> Anderson, Filename: pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.3.6-0ubuntu20_i386.deb  that's dapper's path and version is in there too, manually d/l that deb from your closest ubuntu mirror
[02:31] <eyequeue> Anderson, then dpkg -i that deb
[02:31] <verix> tweaked xorg.conf so that it wouldn't lock up Xgl, but regardless of running Xorg or Xgl, I get a black screen
[02:32] <Anderson> eyequeue, I did apt-get install libc6=2.3.6-0ubuntu20
[02:32] <verix> I had to add a vga line for GRUB to show the splash screen on boot
[02:32] <Wordsworth> Hello, I have an issue.
[02:32] <Wordsworth> For some reason my File System is now read-only and it says I'm not the owner..any idea how the that happened?
[02:32] <eyequeue> Anderson, 2.3.6-0ubuntu20, is the version
[02:32] <andrewski> verix: i've had trouble ever since installing Xgl, even when not running it.  how did you install it?
[02:32] <Wordsworth> It isn't letting me install packages now.
[02:32] <verix> I run it as a session
[02:32] <Anderson> eyequeue, Got it.
[02:32] <Wordsworth> Because of that.
[02:32] <Anderson> eyequeue, Thanks
[02:32] <verix> running it in gdm.conf-custom causes it to crash on boot for me
[02:32] <ryanakca> !pt
[02:32] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[02:32] <mikenash87> 1LIST
[02:32] <mikenash87> !LIST
[02:32] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[02:33] <eyequeue> Anderson, changing libc6 is really really unwise, was trying to help you get back to dapper again
[02:33] <asusathlo> any way of checking whether my all in wonder tuner card is recognized bu ubuntu tvtime?
[02:33] <mikenash87> sorry, haven't used irc in a while
[02:33] <Anderson> eyequeue, I'm getting the same version you showed me from the repositories, I forced the version
[02:34] <Anderson> eyequeue, Got it.
[02:34] <Anderson> eyequeue, oops
[02:34] <Anderson> eyequeue, I did apt-get install libc6=2.3.6-0ubuntu20
[02:34] <verix> andrewski: want me to put up my xorg.conf?
[02:34] <andrewski> verix: i don't have time to look at it.
[02:34] <Just|Me> hey
[02:34] <verix> mmkay
[02:34] <eyequeue> btw, dapper's alien (version 8.64) has no versioned dependency on libc6, but IF it did, it would match dapper's libc6
[02:34] <Just|Me> could someone help me with my ubuntu setup?
[02:34] <Just|Me> i got a black screen after starting the setup
[02:34] <dadgumit> Just|Me what do you need help with ?
[02:35] <Anderson> eyequeue, I think it may have been for bcm43xx-fwcutter, because when I downgraded, that package was removed
[02:35] <Wordsworth> Just|Me: Are you on dual monitors?
[02:35] <Just|Me> well
[02:35] <Wordsworth> I was at first and it only showed on my second screen, randomly.
[02:35] <Wordsworth> lol
[02:35] <sangaya> been googling on this for a while and I only have found instances where I should set acpi=off in the "boot line".  Where is this file that I acpi=off at?
[02:35] <eyequeue> Anderson, not familiar with that package
[02:35] <Wordsworth> For some reason my File System is now read-only and it says I'm not the owner..any idea how the that happened?
[02:35] <Just|Me> the tv is connected to my card
[02:35] <Just|Me> but it isn't activ atm
[02:35] <jollyroger> sangaya: press f6 at the ubuntu screen
[02:35] <ryanakca> is there a way to stop receiving mail from Cron?
[02:35] <Anderson> eyequeue, It's used to extract firmware for my wireless NIC from windows or mac drivers.
[02:35] <Hexidigital_> Wordsworth::  did you "chown" anything?
[02:36] <eyequeue> sangaya, when you boot.  but if you want it permanent, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:36] <Wordsworth> No, I'm a complete noob to this. I just installed it a few days ago
[02:36] <Anderson> eyequeue, It worked well, I'm using it now :-)
[02:36] <Wordsworth> It wasn't this way last night. All I've done is try to install packages for my wireless card to work.
[02:36] <sangaya> jollyroger and eyequeue, Thanks! :0
[02:36] <Wordsworth> Somehow it became read-onyl and I don't know how to reverse it.
[02:36] <Hexidigital_> Wordsworth::  are you able to read/write your /home dir?
[02:36] <jollyroger> yeah
[02:36] <Just|Me> should i plug out the tv connector?
[02:36] <jollyroger> i had the same prob last night
[02:36] <Wordsworth> The entire File System is locked.
[02:36] <Wordsworth> Yeah I can write my home dir
[02:36] <verix> so, basically, I'm having problems with my monitor going black when I logout of X. can someone help me fix this?
[02:37] <Wordsworth> Just nothing else.
[02:37] <Anderson> Are drivers developed in machine code?
[02:37] <Anderson> like VHDL?
[02:37] <Infern0o> hey i have followed the wireless tutorial but i still can't browse or ping :(
[02:37] <Hexidigital_> Wordsworth::  you're not supposed to tinker with the filesystem, other than your /home dir, so you don't break anything... as long as ROOT is the owner, you should be okay
[02:37] <GarrettC> Basically, I'm having problems with being a messy eater. I just dropped a slice of pizza onto the carpet.
[02:37] <jiSh> Wordsworth: you aren't supposed to be able to write anything else
[02:38] <GarrettC> Someone's not going to be happy.
[02:38] <asusathlo> all in wonder 9800 with tvtime is this possible?
[02:38] <jiSh> Wordsworth: launch gksudo nautilus if you need to
[02:38] <Wordsworth> OK, well for some reason none of the packages will isntall because it can't overwrite any of it.
[02:38] <jollyroger> how do i reformat a hard drive when it becomes corrupted
[02:38] <Hexidigital_> Wordsworth::  then, you can change things with root... i.e. sudo nano /var/www/index.html
[02:38] <verix> what's the difference between gksudo and sudo?
[02:38] <Howitzer> I have a problem with my Zen Muvo TX 1024mb, when i plug it in, it ALWAYS shows 37.7mb free, even if i delete files of it
[02:38] <Wordsworth> IT keeps getting a broken pipe, or the signal ends it.
[02:38] <Just|Me> pls help me with my black screen =)
[02:38] <jiSh> gksudo for launching GUI apps
[02:38] <eyequeue> GarrettC, rm -f /carpet/stain/pizza
[02:38] <Hexidigital_> Wordsworth::  oh
[02:38] <Howitzer> verix, gksudo is for gtk apps
[02:38] <verix> ah
[02:38] <Gracana> Using sudo with gtk apps causes fux.
[02:38] <GarrettC> eyequeue: Haha, it worked!
[02:39] <Gracana> Or it can.
[02:39] <Howitzer> Gracana, never noticed it
[02:39] <eyequeue> night hex
[02:39] <Wordsworth> Ah damn...
[02:39] <River> andrewski: Do you know of another open source accounting app ?
[02:39] <UKMatt> does anyone know anything about qemu?
[02:39] <jollyroger> does anyone know how to reformat a corrupt hard drive
[02:40] <eyequeue> UKMatt, is that an ubuntu app?
[02:40] <Howitzer> I have a problem with my Zen Muvo TX 1024mb, when i plug it in, it ALWAYS shows 37.7mb free, even if i delete files of it
[02:40] <UKMatt> eyequeue, yeah, aparently its a windows in XP free app
[02:40] <asusathlo> Please, could somebody tell me whether it will be possible to use tvtime with this all in wonder 9800??
[02:40] <GarrettC> jollyroger: Can you still get into Ubuntu?
[02:40] <UKMatt> eyequeue, windows in ubuntu *
[02:40] <jollyroger> yes but only the live cd install
[02:40] <eyequeue> UKMatt, this is #ubuntu, we don't do that here
[02:41] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: Qemu is an open-sourece version of VMware
[02:41] <UKMatt> eyequeue, yeah i dont have a question with it, just was seeing if anyone has used it and if it works
[02:41] <asusathlo> anyone?
[02:41] <eyequeue> UKMatt, try ##windows
[02:41] <GarrettC> jollyroger: Hold two.
[02:41] <UKMatt> oh eww... you need to put on a fresh copy of windows, thats not really worth it
[02:41] <OisacX> anyone can help me setting up 3D in private?
[02:41] <jollyroger> ok thanks
[02:41] <jollyroger> i'll go see if it works btb
[02:41] <jollyroger> brb*
[02:41] <GarrettC> Err.
[02:42] <GarrettC> jollyroger: Wait.
[02:42] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: Well ...you certainly need a copy of Windows yes
[02:42] <UKMatt> andycooll, well yeah, i just didnt realize it had to be reinstalled
[02:43] <asusathlo> tvtime help?
[02:43] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: Essentially it creates a "virtual" hard drive
[02:43] <Howitzer> helloooo?? :(
[02:44] <sproingie> holy cow do i ever hate alsa
[02:44] <OisacX> can anyone help me setting up my ati radeon? the 3d sucks !
[02:44] <sproingie> !ati
[02:44] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:44] <UKMatt> andycooll, yeah, i'm reading up on it now, i don't really wanna reinstall xp, i just thought itd be a great way to get to it quickly w/o rebooting, because i do have to switch back for itunes about once a day/every other to update podcasts and ipod
[02:44] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: so for instance this pc I'm on is Linux only, but I have an XP VMware image that I can open up and run "inside" of Linux
[02:45] <UKMatt> andycooll, how much performance loss is there?
[02:45] <Infern0o> Can anybody plz help me with configuring my wifi?
[02:45] <Corporal_Dirge> How do I make VLC my default player?
[02:45] <verix> so, basically, I'm having problems with my monitor going black when I logout of X. can someone help me fix this?
[02:45] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: Yeah, that's exactly why I have it, I don't have to reboot
[02:45] <Gracana> Meh OisacX, you might get it better, but it'll still suck. ATI's linux drivers suck, and they don't release much info about their devices, so the open source drivers suck too.
[02:45] <Anderson> Infern0o, what card?
[02:45] <jrib> !default > Corporal_Dirge
[02:45] <UKMatt> andycooll, can you boot straight into XP too?
[02:45] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: They say it runs at about 80% speed
[02:45] <bimberi> Howitzer: how about if you empty the trash?
[02:46] <Howitzer> I have a problem with my Zen Muvo TX 1024mb, when i plug it in, it ALWAYS shows 37.7mb free, even if i delete files of it (I just copied 10mb files onto it and then deleted them, now it says there is 10,0mb left while i DELETED THE files.) :/
[02:46] <Infern0o> Anderson intel 2200
[02:46] <Howitzer> trash is empty
[02:46] <jrib> !defaultapp > Corporal_Dirge
[02:46] <Gracana> What happens if you format it?
[02:46] <bimberi> Howitzer: no folder on it called .Trash-<username>  (iirc)
[02:46] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: Yes. You just open up VMware and run your XP image
[02:46] <bimberi> ?
[02:46] <Howitzer> can i do that just like that? Gracana
[02:46] <jollyroger> holding 2 did nothing
[02:46] <Anderson> Infern0o, did you try iwconfig to see if their is any wireless support?
[02:46] <Corporal_Dirge> !defaultapp
[02:46] <ubotu> To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations"
[02:46] <UKMatt> andycooll, how much was vmware?
[02:47] <Infern0o> Anderson: yes, eth1 is showing up as wireless
[02:47] <Gracana> I dunno Howitzer, just a random idea.
[02:47] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: They do a free player and server
[02:47] <Howitzer> NOTE: In Kubuntu, it worked :/
[02:47] <verix> Infern0o: don't you mean ath1? I don't think ethX is wireless...
[02:47] <Anderson> Infern0o, did you set all of the correct configurations, rate, ap, essid?
[02:47] <GarrettC> jollyroger: Yeah, sorry about that. I meant to hold on for two seconds.
[02:47] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: The player is in the Ubuntu repos
[02:47] <jollyroger> ok
[02:47] <godtvisken> Hi, I have an ALi M5455 soundcard. It works fine in ubuntu, but only one program at a time. I must use each application while all other apps that use sound are closed. What can I do?
[02:47] <UKMatt> andycooll, i'd loooove to be able to, i just really don't want to reinstall xp
[02:47] <eyequeue> verix, eth1 is wireless here, it seems to vary sometimes
[02:47] <verix> strange
[02:48] <Howitzer> fuck it, i'm rebooting with the Kubuntu live cd -_-
[02:48] <Infern0o> verix: it's a router connected to an ethernet modem ;)
[02:48] <Gracana> Some wireless drivers show up as eth#, yeah..
[02:48] <verix> oh! nevermind then. :)
[02:48] <h4v0k> does the mesg thing work on a computer not on my network
[02:48] <eyequeue> verix, mine is also ipw2200-based, heh
[02:48] <Infern0o> Anderson: i followed the tutorial, but what do you mean with rate?
[02:48] <verix> ah
[02:48] <GarrettC> jollyroger: I'm still looking for an app to format the drive for you from the LiveCD. I don't know if GParted will do the job or not.
[02:48] <h4v0k> or does it have to be local
[02:48] <verix> then I guess ath stands for Atheros? heh
[02:48] <verix> because I have an atheros wireless card
[02:48] <GarrettC> Room: Will GParted format a drive if it's corrupt?
[02:48] <Anderson> Infern0o, iwconfig eth# rate xM, where x is 1, 2, 11, 54 etc
[02:48] <eyequeue> verix, mine is centrino, yes, i think ath is atheros/madwifi
[02:49] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: Well you can always try VMware by looking at another distro for instance
[02:49] <Anderson> Infern0o, in Mbits/s
[02:49] <verix> hm
[02:49] <verix> anyway, can anyone help out with that monitor problem I'm having?
[02:49] <GarrettC> jollyroger: Is there data on this drive that you're wanting to keep?
[02:49] <Infern0o> Anderson: ah, the bit rate is showing correctly: 54 Mb/s
[02:49] <harisund> I have a quick question. In Xubuntu, and perhaps other Ubuntus as well, when there is a requirement to be run as root, the sudo dialog box opens up. Then the whole background becomes kind of dark and all.. that is unnecessary eye candy for me.. know any way to delete it?
[02:49] <jollyroger> no
[02:49] <UKMatt> andycooll, well the reason i want to is because i havnt found a linux itunes equivalent
[02:49] <eyequeue> verix, if i could, i'd have tried by now, it's out of my knowledge, sorry
[02:50] <verix> yeah
[02:50] <verix> I'm just trying to figure out what it is
[02:50] <verix> someone told me I shouldn't uninstall the MESA drivers even though I installed fglrx
[02:50] <OisacX> Thanks for the link. Would it be really better to install flgrx instead of the Ati drivers from the site?
[02:50] <Anderson> Infern0o, is iwconfig showing a signal strength?
[02:50] <ardchoille> verix: Ask your monitor question again, to refresh my memory
[02:50] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: Can you not use Amarok for that?
[02:50] <Anderson> Infern0o, also, check the quality and noise.
[02:50] <eyequeue> verix, i do know that alt-ctrl-f7 works here sometimes, and is black at others, then alt-ctrl-f10 works
[02:51] <verix> ardchoille: basically, when I log out of X, the monitor doesn't display the login screen. I can here the "hay this is a login screen!" sound when it boots in, but it doesn't display
[02:51] <Infern0o> Anderson: It is showing a Link quality: 75/100
[02:51] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: And I believe there is a Linux equivalent (gtkpod?).
[02:51] <Anderson> Infern0o, do you have an ip address?
[02:51] <Anderson> Infern0o, ifconfig
[02:51] <Infern0o> Anderson: noise: -83 dBm
[02:51] <verix> when I first boot up the computer, I don't get this problem. it's after logging into X, then logging out that I get this
[02:51] <UKMatt> andycooll, well i have an ipod and a nano, and i have both tied to itunes because i listen to podcasts a lot, and i can't find anything that works so well with podcasts and downloading.  and yeah gtkpod does work but its ugly and difficult
[02:51] <eyequeue> verix, i have other things on tty8 and tty9, so i think it's grabbing "next available"
[02:51] <FSK405C> ati x700 pci xpress supported under ubuntu? :D
[02:51] <Infern0o> Anderson: My router is dhcp enabled
[02:51] <verix> hm
[02:51] <Anderson> Infern0o, check the ip
[02:51] <UKMatt> andycooll, i usually reboot in the morning, update, and then it goes back into Ub
[02:51] <eyequeue> verix, and yes, only after leaving x here too
[02:51] <Kaervek> Well, it seems that I've fixed my problem.
[02:51] <GarrettC> jollyroger: Okay, give this a try. I'm not on a Ubuntu system right now, so you might have to do a little looking around on your own. Go to the System menu at the top of the screen, go to the administrative menu (I believe, might have to look around) and try finding the GParted application.
[02:51] <asusathlo> anyone who can tell me if this all in wonder will work with tvtime??
[02:52] <Kaervek> ...what a headache! :)
[02:52] <GarrettC> jollyroger: Does the machine have more than one hard drive?
[02:52] <ardchoille> verix: I have one machine that, when I log out it takes me to tty1, then I have to ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to gdm
[02:52] <Infern0o> Anderson: no ip shows
[02:52] <jollyroger> no and i don't have ubuntu installed yet
[02:52] <Infern0o> Anderson: after typing ifconfig
[02:52] <Anderson> Infern0o, From my experience, my wireless card doesn't automatically request a DHCP packet.
[02:52] <verix> ardchoille: I don't even get a prompt though
[02:52] <tich> hi does anyone know how to reset nautilus to its original settings?
[02:52] <eyequeue> verix, that's why i suggested alt-ctrl-f8 there
[02:52] <Anderson> Infern0o, dhclient
[02:52] <Kaervek> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=216039
[02:52] <verix> alright
[02:52] <ardchoille> verix: that's odd
[02:52] <verix> it takes me to the Ubuntu login screen, and remains black
[02:52] <verix> yeah
[02:53] <verix> I'll try the ctrl-alt-f7 thing though.
[02:53] <eyequeue> verix, too bad it differed from mine
[02:53] <tich> ardchoille: i went to ##gnome but no one is talking there.
[02:53] <Infern0o> Anderson: It is working in windows, so i'm not gonna remove the dhcp :)
[02:53] <GarrettC> jollyroger: Do you have the Ubuntu Live CD?
[02:53] <jollyroger> yeah
[02:53] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: I only use my XP image for the missus' MP3 player. She's got a Sony and that requires the "Connect" software which of course only has a Windoze version
[02:53] <Anderson> Infern0o, I know, issue a dhclient eth# command
[02:53] <verix> whoa wtf
[02:53] <eyequeue> verix, f8 not f7
[02:53] <verix> it didn't do it this time
[02:53] <ardchoille> tich: Yeah, it isn't always as active as I would like
[02:53] <verix> strange.
[02:53] <Infern0o> Anderson: how do i do that?
[02:53] <GarrettC> jollyroger: Well pop that in and load it up. Then go do what I said. =)
[02:53] <eyequeue> verix, mine is unpredictable too
[02:53] <UKMatt> andycooll, hmm, well i think i might try it since i have time during summer
[02:53] <jollyroger> ok
[02:53] <Anderson> Infern0o, Well, I didn't know, but I understand
[02:53] <verix> hum
[02:53] <jollyroger> i'll brb then
[02:53] <OisacX> anyone knows if ati drivers are better than the fglrx thing?
[02:53] <UKMatt> andycooll, which would be easier to put on, .rpm or .tar
[02:54] <verix> if it does it again I'll go into recovery console and see what Xorg.0.log says
[02:54] <Anderson> Infern0o, in the terminal, type dhclient ethX
[02:54] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: Perhaps try it first of all "without" deleting your other drive
[02:54] <eyequeue> verix, dropped to just a minor annoyance once i figured out the workaround (by chance)
[02:54] <Anderson> Infern0o, where X is whatever the interface number is
[02:54] <heretician> In the Launchpad, how do you mark a Support question as Answered?
[02:54] <verix> huh, strange, it stopped doing that thing
[02:54] <verix> weird
[02:54] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: You'll need tge .tar
[02:54] <UKMatt> andycooll, yeah i was thinking about trying suse with it
[02:54] <Infern0o> Anderson: ok, it gave me some non erroneous output ^^
[02:54] <verix> I'm gonna try switching to a tty and then switching to alt-ctrl-f7
[02:55] <Infern0o> Anderson: and DHCPDISCOVER's :)
[02:55] <Anderson> Infern0o, ok, did it say anything about DHCPACK
[02:55] <UKMatt> andycooll, is it self explanatory to set up?
[02:55] <verix> heh yeah it went black going to tty
[02:55] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: Download the server version from the website
[02:55] <Gunnzi> how do I change from american to icelandic keyboard in textmode ?
[02:55] <UKMatt> andycooll, server version or player?
[02:55] <Xtremer> Why is my hard drive labeled SDA (and the partitions sda1, 2, 3, etc)? There is no HDA. Shouldn't it be HDA?
[02:55] <asusathlo> will somebody just tell me if it is possible to use tvtime with radeon 9800 all in wonder in ubuntu?
[02:55] <eyequeue> verix, alt-ctrl-f8 work there?
[02:55] <verix> nope
[02:56] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: There's a good howto on the Ubuntu forums
[02:56] <Infern0o> Anderson: first: sending... sending.... then 7 times DHCPDISCOVER then No DHCPOFFERS received. then No working leases in persistent database - Sleeping.
[02:56] <Just4> Xtremer, is your PC using SATA drives?
[02:56] <Xtremer> ooooh yes, would that be the reason?
[02:56] <UKMatt> andycooll, oh ty, but should i do the server version or the player version of vmware
[02:56] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=183209
[02:56] <Just4> Xtremer: yes
[02:57] <dadgumit> does linux choke on having two keyboards plugged in?
[02:57] <Xtremer> alright thanks.. that leads me to my next question. I've tried searching around, reading everything, but I still can't get Windows XP to boot from GRUB
[02:57] <verix> gonna check out Xorg.log see if there's anything there
[02:57] <Anderson> Infern0o, is there an inet6 address listed under ifconfig for the interface?
[02:57] <GarrettC> dadgumit: Shouldn't. Just will see it as two input devices.
[02:57] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: As I said, the server. The player just "plays", in the server version you can create your own
[02:57] <Just4> Xtremer: Is the menu.lst setup correctly?
[02:57] <GarrettC> dadgumit: Configure them correctly in you xorg.conf and I see no reason why they shouldn't work.
[02:57] <verix> hmm
[02:58] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: And creating images is quite straightforward, just follow the defaults
[02:58] <verix> doesn't look like there's anything out of the ordinary
[02:58] <Xtremer> Just4: As far as I can tell, everything is set right
[02:58] <Infern0o> Anderson: yes
[02:58] <ironfroggy_LT> So i'm running the install for the first time. Everything seems fine. It asks me its questions, partitions and formats, but then bails saying it cant create the filesystem, but gives no detailed message. then it proceeds with the installation until hanging on "detecting filesystems...", and never progresses beyond that. any suggestions? also, can i change the type of filesystem it is creating?
[02:58] <Just4> Xtremer: What happens when you try to boot XP from grub?
[02:58] <Anderson> Infern0o, type ifconfig eth# del XXXX::XXX/XX (there will be more digits, but use the inet6 address)
[02:58] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: You'll understand what I mean when you run it
[02:59] <godtvisken> Hi, I have an ALi M5455 soundcard. It works fine in ubuntu, but only one program at a time. I must use each application while all other apps that use sound are closed. What can I do?
[02:59] <Xtremer> Just4: The screen goes blank, says "out of range" which means the monitor gets no signal, then when the screen comes to, the computer has been rebooted and is loading BIOS and back to GRUB. This is in a matter of seconds.
[02:59] <UKMatt> andycooll, ah ok ty, i'm gonna go work on that and then i'll be back
[02:59] <Infern0o> Anderson: ok done that
[02:59] <AndyCooll> UKMatt: You're welcome
[03:00] <Anderson> Infern0o, verify that the address is gone, and issue the DHCLIENT command again
[03:00] <Infern0o> Anderson: the eth1 inet6 adres is gone now
[03:00] <Just4> Xtremer: Hm, I wouldn't know how to answer that personally, never encountered a problem like that, is XP on a seperate drive or on a partition?
[03:00] <verix> hrm
[03:00] <verix> any ideas what the problem might be?
[03:00] <Infern0o> Anderson: ok, a DHCPack now
[03:00] <Infern0o> Anderson: bound...
[03:00] <Anderson> Infern0o, did it bind an IP?
[03:00] <Anderson> Infern0o, sweet
[03:01] <Anderson> Infern0o, ping your router
[03:01] <Anderson> Infern0o, then try google.com
[03:01] <Infern0o> Anderson: yeah that looks like good news
[03:01] <Xtremer> partition. XP is sda1, ubuntu is sda2, W95 Ext'd (LBA) no idea what that is is sda3, and swap is sda5 (no idea where 4 went)
[03:01] <Infern0o> Anderson: Ping gives answer
[03:01] <Anderson> Infern0o, from google?
[03:01] <Infern0o> Anderson: yes both pings
[03:02] <Anderson> Infern0o, You're online.
[03:02] <Infern0o> Anderson: ah but wait,
[03:02] <ardchoille> Xtremer: It's likely that there wasn't a sda4 to begin with. I have hda1, hda2 and hda5
[03:02] <Infern0o> Anderson: just to make sure, let me disable my cable card ;
[03:02] <Infern0o> Anderson: hahaha
[03:02] <ardchoille> and this is a semi-fresh install
[03:02] <Anderson> Infern0o, Congrats
[03:02] <Xtremer> Infern0o: ah good then, that crosses off one potential problem
[03:02] <eyequeue> Xtremer, hda5 is the first logical partition on hda
[03:03] <Anderson> Infern0o, Type apt-get update if you want another verification, but you should be working.
[03:03] <ardchoille> eyequeue: that makes sense, since primaries are limited to 4
[03:03] <Xtremer> eyequeue: Ah, that makes sense, being swap and all.
[03:03] <eyequeue> Xtremer, 1 and 2 are primary, nod
[03:03] <Kaervek> Is there some documentation that would help me setup one of my harddrives to use as a storage drive accessible by both Windows XP and Ubuntu?
[03:03] <Xtremer> Just4: Just in case you didnt see that msg, "partition. XP is sda1, ubuntu is sda2, W95 Ext'd (LBA) no idea what that is is sda3, and swap is sda5 (no idea where 4 went)"
[03:03] <Kaervek> From what I understand, I would need to format it as FAT32.  I'm not certain.
[03:03] <Xtremer> eyequeue: Yes 1 and 2 are primary
[03:04] <verix> should I remove the "ati" drivers after installing the "fglrx" drivers?
[03:04] <Just4> Xtremer: Ah sorry, I don't really know what to say, I haven't encountered anything like that, can you boot XP without grub or no? (Maybe its a XP prob?)
[03:04] <zach_> Can't get my cd burner to work?! I am new to ubuntu any ideas?
[03:04] <Xtremer> Just4: I don't know how to direct boot while GRUB is always there..
[03:05] <watson540> Kaervek: thats what i did
[03:05] <Xtremer> Just4: XP was running perfectly fine until I installed Ubuntu
[03:05] <Infern0o> Anderson: hmmm bummer, it doens't ping anymore with cable removed from pc :s
[03:05] <Kaervek> watson540, You formatted it as FAT32?
[03:05] <ardchoille> zach_: Can you elaborate a bit? Is it not being recognised in Ubuntu? Is the cd burning app not working?
[03:05] <verix> Xtremer: you didn't install GRUB to the MBR, did you?
[03:05] <Anderson> Infern0o, Did you shut down the interface or just unplug the cable?
[03:06] <Just4> Xtremer: Is the entry in menu.lst for XP set to chain boot?
[03:06] <Infern0o> Anderson: i first shut down the device, then unplugged the cable
[03:06] <Xtremer> Just4: chainloader is +1
[03:06] <watson540> Kaervek: yup
[03:06] <Xtremer> verix: I'm not sure. Used the live cd to install
[03:06] <eyequeue> Infern0o, as in, sudo ifdown eth0
[03:06] <Anderson> Hmm, you couldn't ping the router either?
[03:06] <bradlyatc> anyone know what ubuntu/debian has done to HAL to get laptop smart batteries to show their status correctly?
[03:07] <verix> anyway I have to leave
[03:07] <verix> will ask for help later
[03:07] <Infern0o> eyequeue: no, i used system--> administration --> networking
[03:08] <eyequeue> Infern0o, ah, that gui stuff confuses me
[03:08] <zach_> I am using GUI. It keeps asking for me to insert a blank disk, which I have done.
[03:08] <Anderson> eyequeue, you and me both.
[03:08] <OisacX> It's not working at all.... I'm seeying two things in there...
[03:08] <OisacX> Section "Device"
[03:08] <OisacX> 	Identifier  "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon R350 NH [Radeon 9800 Pro] "
[03:08] <OisacX> 	Driver      "ati"
[03:08] <OisacX> 	BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
[03:08] <OisacX> EndSection
[03:08] <OisacX> Section "Device"
[03:08] <OisacX> 	Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0] "
[03:08] <OisacX> 	Driver      "fglrx"
[03:08] <OisacX> EndSection
[03:09] <Xtremer> Just4: Got no ideas?
[03:09] <eyequeue> Anderson, i personally suspect it doesn't work reliably
[03:09] <watson540> !pastebin
[03:09] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[03:09] <Infern0o> I'm starting to suspect the same thing ^^
[03:09] <Just4> Xtremer: Nope, not at the moment
[03:09] <Corporal_Dirge> !defaultapp
[03:09] <ubotu> To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations"
[03:09] <Corporal_Dirge> ok, that doesn't work.. what's next
[03:10] <Anderson> eyequeue, I worry about that too. I think some of my aversion is the fact that I am still recovering from a windows addiction.
[03:10] <Xtremer> Just4: Alright thanks for the effort. I'll keep on asking around..
[03:10] <Anderson> eyequeue, I don't trust anything I can't explore past the surface (gui).
[03:10] <Xtremer> Just4: Oh wait one more question.. Do you think running fixmbr or fixboot from a XP disk would get me into windows?
[03:10] <Anderson> eyequeue, which is more of a problem with windows, but it still makes me uneasy.
[03:11] <Anderson> eyequeue, also if I learn the commands, it makes remot admin easier.
[03:11] <godtvisken> Hi, I have an ALi M5455 soundcard. It works fine in ubuntu, but only one program at a time. I must use each application while all other apps that use sound are closed. What can I do?
[03:11] <eyequeue> Anderson, quite
[03:11] <Just4> Xtremer: It might help boot WinBlows
[03:11] <corran> godtvisken: you can use a sound daemon like esd
[03:11] <Anderson> Infern0o, any luck?
[03:11] <Just4> Xtremer: I've only had to fix one mbr ever on XP, and that got windoze working
[03:12] <Infern0o> Anderson: Hmm, no i ifdowned the cable card
[03:12] <Infern0o> Anderson: and i tried ifupping the wireless
[03:12] <godtvisken> corran: i think it is already running, i click system -> pref -> sound and esd is selected
[03:12] <nicholaspaul> trying to install Samba 3.0.21a - do i have to have the same version # of smbfs and smbclient?
[03:12] <Infern0o> Anderson: but he's still discovering ;)
[03:12] <Anderson> Infern0o, Your wireless should have already been up.
[03:12] <OisacX> HEHO?! anyone got a radeon 9800 pro and help me out here?
[03:13] <Kaervek> watson540, msg :)
[03:13] <Infern0o> Anderson: no DHCPOFFERS received
[03:13] <david_594> another quick question
[03:13] <david_594> are there known issues for geforce graphics cards?
[03:13] <Anderson> Infern0o, check IFCONFIG again for inet6 address.
[03:13] <Infern0o> Anderson: none in the eth1 part, there is one in the lo part though
[03:14] <Anderson> Infern0o, Is there an IP address under eth1
[03:14] <corran> godtvisken: are the applications you use outputting to esd?
[03:14] <Infern0o> Anderson: nope
[03:14] <Xtremer> Just4: Alright thanks I might just do that and then give this thing a try: http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm
[03:14] <Anderson> Infern0o, Check your iwconfig settings again.
[03:14] <godtvisken> corran: how do i know if they are?
[03:15] <Infern0o> Anderson: everything there except the wep key
[03:15] <Anderson> Infern0o, do you have a wep key?
[03:15] <Infern0o> Anderson: yes
[03:15] <Anderson> Infern0o, Configure than and try DHCLIENT again.
[03:15] <ironfroggy_LT> after repartitioning in the install, why dont the partition's block devices appear in /dev ?
[03:15] <Infern0o> Anderson: configure where?
[03:15] <gdb> Linux really needs an hinv command. :-/
[03:15] <ironfroggy_LT> its causing failure in the install.
[03:16] <gdb> Or at least something like prtdiag.
[03:16] <lavawill> Hi just loaded ubuntu first time I need to get into root but there is no password
[03:16] <corran> godtvisken: you will need to configure them to.
[03:16] <gdb> !root
[03:16] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:16] <Anderson> iwconfig eth1 key XXXXXXXXX
[03:16] <corran> godtvisken: usually it is in preferences...
[03:16] <Anderson> Infern0o, iwconfig eth1 key XXXXXXXXX
[03:16] <Infern0o> Anderson: ok give me a sec
[03:17] <Anderson> Infern0o, Ok
[03:17] <godtvisken> corran: i don't see a way to in banshee.. and how would i do that in firefox? unless i do it through flash or something
[03:17] <OisacX> ok.. let's start again.... how do I get help here?
[03:17] <GhettoPuNKkiD> hello all
[03:17] <corran> godtvisken: no idea, and no idea (I have an EMU10k (aka sound blaster live)), so I don't have sound problems.
[03:17] <lavawill> yea root user
[03:18] <corran> godtvisken: and I also mostly use debian, so I am not the best source of help
[03:18] <Infern0o> Anderson: ok, i used the key command, but after checking with iwconfig the key still doesn't show
[03:18] <GhettoPuNKkiD> question: anyone having problems with dapper, more specifically gnome logging in slow?
[03:19] <godtvisken> corran: ok well thanks
[03:19] <Anderson> Infern0o, Try sudo iwconfig eth1
[03:19] <Infern0o> Anderson: yeah i did that since it said i didn't have permission to change first
[03:19] <Infern0o> Anderson: but with that command the kye does show though
[03:20] <Anderson> Infern0o, You will have to use sudo to view that information.
[03:20] <Anderson> Infern0o, Try DHCLIENT again.
[03:20] <Infern0o> Anderson: yeah i noticed after typing ^^ it does show with sudo
[03:21] <Anderson> Infern0o, Yea, I saw that, I just kept typing, it probably would have taken longer to delete.
[03:21] <OisacX> ok... PLEASE ! help me here...
[03:21] <GhettoPuNKkiD> OisacX: what did you need help with?
[03:21] <Tonren> How do you completely remove something from the command line?  apt-get --purge remove gets rid of it, but what's the equivalent of Marking for Complete Removal
[03:21] <Infern0o> Anderson: requests and discovers showing up
[03:21] <Anderson> Infern0o, Good.
[03:21] <OisacX> I'm trying to get my 3d from my ati 9800 pro working...
[03:21] <Infern0o> Anderson: no offers received, no working leases in persistent database
[03:22] <Infern0o> Anderson: -sleaping
[03:22] <Anderson> Infern0o, Try again.
[03:22] <ThunderStruck> !ati > OisacX
[03:22] <ThunderStruck> OisacX: read your pm
[03:22] <Anderson> Infern0o, ?
[03:22] <Infern0o> Anderson: trying again
[03:22] <Anderson> Infern0o, Ok
[03:23] <OisacX> I have installed the ati driver from site but I don't know how to get the fglrx working, i'm seeying two device, one with ati driver and the other one with fglrx driver...
[03:23] <Infern0o> Anderson: same result
[03:23] <Dimensions> hi ... i wanted to change to root ... i used !su command and it asked for the passwd the only passwd i have is the one i gave for my uname while installing ubuntu but it says authentication failed when i give that passwd ?
[03:23] <on2see> How do I get the latest JRE running if I downloaded it from the Java site?
[03:23] <Anderson> Infern0o, Is there any signal showing up when you do iwconfig?
[03:24] <GhettoPuNKkiD> Dimensions: are you on the account you created when you installed?
[03:24] <NoName> modprobe is hogging 60%cpu, and will not die, any ideas?
[03:24] <Infern0o> Anderson: Signal lvevel = -54 dBm
[03:24] <Dimensions> GhettoPuNKkiD:  yes ...
[03:24] <GhettoPuNKkiD> Dimensions: what are you trying to accomplish here?
[03:25] <on2see> He wanted to change to root
[03:25] <GhettoPuNKkiD> hmm
[03:25] <Dimensions> yes i wanted to change to root to gain its access ... for installation .. etc
[03:25] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ah okay
[03:25] <ardchoille> I believe sudo -i will do that
[03:25] <NoName> modprobe will not die...
[03:25] <Anderson> Infern0o, When you shutdown the hardwire NIC, you also ifup the wireless?
[03:25] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ardchoille is correct
[03:26] <ironfroggy_LT> but should udev recognize new partition block devices after repartitioning from the install?
[03:26] <Infern0o> Anderson: after unplugging i ifdowned the hardwire again and ifupped the wireless card
[03:26] <Dimensions> yes its done :P
[03:26] <Dimensions> thanks guys ... though i have many more things to ask
[03:26] <Dimensions> **shrugs***
[03:26] <GhettoPuNKkiD> n/p
[03:26] <Corporal_Dirge> Does anyone here use truecrypt?

[03:29] <ardchoille> on2see: Do you realise you can get that installed with Synaptic?
[03:29] <Anderson> Infern0o, Go into the router and see if there is an open lease for

[03:30] <Infern0o> Anderson: yeah sure
[03:30] <ardchoille> on2see: ok, if you really want to install that .bin file.. cd to the location of the .bin file, then do chmod u+x filename.bin.. then sh filename.bin
[03:30] <Anderson> Infern0o, Check to see if there is an IP lease for your laptop.

 thanks
[03:33] <larson9999> mike930: dvdshrink runs fine on linux via wine.  i find it pretty good
[03:33] <Corporal_Dirge> !wine
[03:33] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[03:33] <snoops> umm what's the go with hd video content on linux? What's the best player? Because I'm having pretty choppy playback on a 4400+ x2 amd on mplayer/totem/vlc
[03:33] <ardchoille> !dma > ubuntuibm
[03:33] <Ronz> is there any way to turn off the system beep when im working in the terminal? ie, tab and it cant finish the line
[03:33] <Infern0o> Anderson: no, it doesn't seem to bo leasing to my laptop
[03:33] <ardchoille> ubuntuibm: See if that helps.. it helped me with playing dvd movies
[03:33] <Anderson> Infern0o, I'm pondering what to ponder.
[03:34] <OisacX> I want to get my 3d working fine with my radeon 9800, BUT ! I've read the help on site and I can't figure out why I'm having two device , one with ati and the other with fglrx driver in my conf file... and when I want to change it, it's in read only mode...
[03:34] <snoops> Ronz system>prefs>sound>system beep
[03:34] <ubuntuibm> i have played with the DMA...i started this chat in the kubuntu room, while very helpful, unable to correct the issue
[03:34] <debian_> coxheath
[03:34] <debian_> whoops wrong chan
[03:34] <Anderson> Infern0o, In the mean time, try another DHCLIENT
[03:34] <Anderson> Infern0o, Make sure the hardwire remains off also
[03:34] <ardchoille> ubuntuibm: so you currently have dma=on in your dvd device?
[03:34] <ubuntuibm> yes
[03:35] <Ronz> *gives snoops a cookie*
[03:35] <ardchoille> weird
[03:35] <ubuntuibm> very odd...i know
[03:35] <PreZ> hrm, 1 disconnect in 2 weeks
[03:35] <ubuntuibm> very annoying too
[03:35] <PreZ> not bad
[03:35] <GhettoPuNKkiD> im having problems also with login being slow after i enter my password (using dapper)
[03:35] <rredd4> is it possible to low level format a hard drive?  If so, what software should I use?  Or what can I use that will completely wipe the hard drive?
[03:35] <Infern0o> Anderson: the hardwire did activate again
[03:35] <Infern0o> Anderson: the cable isn't plugged though
[03:36] <Ronz> rredd4: killdisk will do a low leve lformat
[03:36] <Dimensions> i asked a question that im installing flashplayer and its asking me to install gsfonts and gsfonts-x11
[03:36] <larson9999> rredd4: there are tools the manufacturer makes.
[03:36] <Dimensions> where and how i get them
[03:36] <Infern0o> Anderson: dhclient result: still no leases
[03:36] <deep> Mr. andersson...
[03:37] <rredd4> Ronz:  ty killdisk is console or gui?
[03:37] <GhettoPuNKkiD> Dimensions: sudo apt-get install gsfonts-x11
[03:37] <Ronz> rredd4: mainly console, but a monkey can do it. =) just type "help" when it loads up
[03:37] <Ronz> rredd4: and you will have to reset your BIOS to default once you do it
[03:37] <francesjan> i've a problem with thunderbird " /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/run-mozilla.sh: line 131:  6360 Segmentation fault      "$prog" ${1+"$@"} "
[03:38] <ubuntuibm> ardchoille....any ideas?
[03:38] <rredd4> Ronz can I boot it from cd or floppy?
[03:38] <revilot> does anyone in here by some crazy one in a million chance have a creative prodikeys keyboard?
[03:38] <yuyoman> hi
[03:38] <ardchoille> ubuntuibm: no, the dma tutorial has always worked for me
[03:39] <Ronz> rredd4: both
[03:39] <nicholaspaul> i installed samba but can seem to see it running.. anyone help?
[03:39] <Anderson> Infern0o, Ok, turn it off again, and when you issue the dhclient command specify the interface
[03:39] <Anderson> deep, I thought i outgrew that one
[03:39] <rredd4> cool!
[03:39] <rredd4> ty
[03:39] <Ronz> np
[03:39] <Ronz> or you can just fdisk a few times. =)
[03:39] <ubuntuibm> i guess i will not be able to watch movies....i guess i am being a panzie little girl expecting too much.
[03:39] <revilot> how can I check if my hard drive is using DMA
[03:39] <roostishaw> anyone, why wont this work (im using fluxbox): Mod4 :ExecCommand gnome-terminal
[03:39] <roostishaw> ?
[03:39] <Anderson> Infern0o, any progress?
[03:40] <OisacX> Well then, whis me luck on my quest for help... as I can't find it here... see ya
[03:40] <Infern0o> Anderson: yes, the dhclient command is discovering on eth1
[03:40] <ardchoille> !dma > revilot
[03:40] <Dimensions> thanks GhettoPuNKkiD ... and my next question ... when i boot ubuntu it gives me a message that boot sector and its backup have differences ... secondly when i installed ubuntu .. it updated softwares etc ... and now i have old kernel showing up in the options along with the new one ... in the grub how can i remove from grub or unintall the old one ?
[03:40] <Anderson> Infern0o, Good,
[03:40] <Infern0o> Anderson: 5 results, bu no DHCPoffers
[03:40] <SintixErR> anyone have a problem with ubuntu losing the hd (sda1 in this case) after a dist-upgrade that includes a kernal update?
[03:41] <sebastian> hi
[03:41] <Anderson> 5 DHCREQUESTS?
[03:41] <SintixErR> "ALERT! /dev/sda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!"
[03:41] <Anderson> Infern0o, 5 DHCREQUESTS?
[03:41] <GhettoPuNKkiD> Dimensions: do you just want to delete from the listing?
[03:41] <Infern0o> Anderson: i'd wish :P 5 discovers :)
[03:41] <Anderson> O yea
[03:41] <Anderson> Infern0o, O yea
[03:42] <godtvisken> What does "Repository list: Main, Universe, Multiverse and PLF" do in EasyUbuntu?
[03:42] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ahh >:O why wont

[03:42] <Anderson> Infern0o, Try shutting down the wireless interface and bringing it back up.
[03:43] <Infern0o> Anderson: the eth0 is still showing up in ifconfig... is that normal?
[03:43] <Anderson> Infern0o, No
[03:43] <Dimensions> GhettoPuNKkiD:  ... what ever is the best ...
[03:43] <Anderson> Infern0o, sudo ifconfig eth0 down
[03:43] <GhettoPuNKkiD> Dimensions: well it isnt really hurting anything, plus if something decides to crap out on you you can go back to your old kernel
[03:44] <Infern0o> Anderson: he automatically started an dhclient again
[03:44] <UKMatt> hey does anyone know if its true that there is a version OSX for pc's?
[03:44] <FunnyLookinHat> wow what the crap
[03:44] <FunnyLookinHat> this xchat-gnome thing is a piece of junk
[03:44] <FunnyLookinHat> and now the interface is stuck this way, bs.
[03:45] <GhettoPuNKkiD> FunnyLookinHat: get bitchx ;p
[03:45] <Infern0o> Anderson: after restarting wireless
[03:45] <FunnyLookinHat> UKMatt, not legal, no.  But illegal, yes.
[03:45] <Dimensions> ummm thats fine then ... but GhettoPuNKkiD what abt the message i get while loading ubuntu that " there are differences between boot sector and its backup
[03:45] <FunnyLookinHat> GhettoPuNKkiD, haha, you would say that
[03:45] <UKMatt> funnylookinhat, do you know where that is?
[03:45] <Anderson> Infern0o, When you issue the dhclient, specify the interfaces dhclient eth1
[03:45] <FunnyLookinHat> UKMatt, you could search torrent sites for an image...
[03:45] <Infern0o> Anderson: but still the no working leases reslut
[03:45] <GhettoPuNKkiD> Dimensions: let me think
[03:45] <Anderson> Infern0o, I'm still pondering
[03:45] <FunnyLookinHat> ahh fixed it., w00t

[03:47] <GhettoPuNKkiD> Dimensions: are you dual booting?
[03:47] <nicholaspaul> sudo etc/init.d/samba restart returns nothing.
[03:47] <GhettoPuNKkiD> nicholaspaul: is samba even in that directory?
[03:48] <Infern0o> Anderson: could it be possible that i have to upgrade my firmware?
[03:48] <nicholaspaul> GhettoPuNKkiD: it is, but i just installed it again.
[03:48] <Dimensions> yes i am GhettoPuNKkiD...
[03:48] <Infern0o> Anderson: since there is something in the !wireless guide about that
[03:48] <nicholaspaul> GhettoPuNKkiD: how do i check my install?
[03:48] <GhettoPuNKkiD> nicholaspaul: it should be up, try creating some shares
[03:48] <Anderson> Infern0o, It's unlikely, given that you were able to bind an IP once.
[03:48] <GhettoPuNKkiD> Dimensions: see what you can make out of that thread
[03:49] <Infern0o> Anderson: yeah but that was most likely with my hardwire ;
[03:49] <Anderson> Infern0o, Did you happen to see which device it was that had the IP address when you checked IFCONFIG the first time?
[03:49] <GhettoPuNKkiD> nicholaspaul: are you using the ubuntu debian packages?
[03:50] <Infern0o> Anderson: i'm sorry, no
[03:50] <Dimensions> GhettoPuNKkiD:  ... im not having any of that kinda problem i have already installed ubuntu and i dont get any options to chose from,  like they do , i just get that message when systems is booting ubuntu and then it proceeds with normal boot

[03:58] <trey> skavenge: i have done that, in a later step i am supposed to do    modprobe ndiswrapper   and then check a system log created by       dmesg         to seee if i get the confirmation message:    ndiswrapper version <version> loaded...
[03:58] <skavenge> trey: just type dmesg in a terminal

[04:03] <jollyroger> yeah i got to a black screen with a pointer and the ubuntu logo already went away
[04:03] <ardchoille> jollyroger: I believe it mostly depends on your processor speed and amount of ram in the machine
[04:03] <Anderson> Infern0o, Unfortunately that is running low
[04:03] <gnomefreak> skavenge: also try libqt3-compat-headers
[04:03] <fatsheep> no I'm trying to use the add/remove feature for it
[04:03] <jollyroger> it has an amd processor and 128 megs ram

[04:04] <GhettoPuNKkiD> fatsheep: try this out: http://davyd.livejournal.com/125253.html
[04:04] <jollyroger> yeah the one that they send in the mail for free
[04:04] <GarrettC> jollyroger: Might need to use the alternative install CD.
[04:04] <jollyroger> i don't know if i have one
[04:04] <gnomefreak> skavenge: libqt3-mt-dev?
[04:04] <GhettoPuNKkiD> fatsheep: make sure you add multiverse to your sources.list
[04:05] <Ronz>  /me loves ubuntu
[04:05] <on2see> ha
[04:05] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ha
[04:05] <on2see> lol
[04:05] <GhettoPuNKkiD> /me loves ..
[04:05] <GarrettC> jollyroger: From the Ubuntu website: You will need at least 192MB of RAM to install from this CD.
[04:05] <skavenge> trey: do you see anything in dmesg about a any driver for the card? there may be a nonfunctioning one already started
[04:05] <Infern0o> Anderson, Maybe i have to configure the dns?
[04:05] <jollyroger> when i was installing from the cd it said 128 on the sleeve it came in it said 256
[04:05] <skavenge> gnomefreak: yes that one too .. its like the ./configure isnt finding them
[04:06] <GhettoPuNKkiD> godtvisken: did you run alsaconf?
[04:06] <Anderson> Infern0o, That is part of the DHCPACK
[04:06] <on2see> Does anyone here have a extreme liking of IE?
[04:06] <GarrettC> gnomefreak: Will a non-alternate install CD work if the guy has less than 192MB RAM?
[04:06] <Anderson> Infern0o, You aren't getting anything at this point
[04:06] <Ronz> on2see: no
[04:06] <ardchoille> jollyroger: The Desktop CD has bugs in the installer. Better to download the Alternate CD to install
[04:06] <Ronz> firefox ftw
[04:06] <on2see> Cool
[04:06] <on2see> Uh...?
[04:06] <gnomefreak> skavenge: sorry thats all i saw i dont see any of the kubuntu devels online atm
[04:06] <on2see> Geez
[04:07] <jollyroger> can i burn it with a cd burner and not a dvd burner
[04:07] <trey> skavenge: i just looked over again and found the:    ndiswrapper version 1.1 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)
[04:07] <GarrettC> jollyroger: Yes.
[04:07] <godtvisken> GhettoPuNKkiD: no
[04:07] <skavenge> yeah its a headscratcher
[04:07] <jollyroger> ok
[04:07] <filemover> ardchoille:  ive just tried gksudo'/usr/bin/adept' in the ccommand box in properties and it still doent work got any clues
[04:07] <gnomefreak> GarrettC: maybe if it does not so good unless you got the xubuntu iso
[04:07] <Anderson> Infern0o, Does your readme have a walkthrough for updating the firmware?
[04:07] <skavenge> trey: so its loaded, you have lights on the card working? after that its just setting up the networking through network manager
[04:07] <GhettoPuNKkiD> godtvisken: it needs to be configured then it will insert the module
[04:07] <godtvisken> GhettoPuNKkiD: it says i don't have that program
[04:07] <gnomefreak> Hobbsee: ;)
[04:08] <GarrettC> jollyroger: http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-releases/6.06/ if you're needing help.
[04:08] <godtvisken> GhettoPuNKkiD: even running it as root it is not found
[04:08] <GhettoPuNKkiD> godtvisken: is your card detected when you do a 'dmesg' without quotes of course
[04:08] <gleesond> whats the pkg that has gcc/g++?
[04:08] <Infern0o> Anderson: yes even especially for my card, but i'll show you, it's a bit outdated
[04:08] <Infern0o> !wireless
[04:08] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs with Broadcom Specifics at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper
[04:08] <jollyroger> which cd do i download
[04:08] <gnomefreak> gleesond: build-essential
[04:08] <GarrettC> jollyroger: Scroll down to the Alternate install.
[04:08] <trey> skavenge: no i got an error on the next line:   ndiswrapper (ndiswrapper_load_driver:92): loadndisw rapper failed (65280); check system log for messages from 'loadndisd river'
[04:08] <ardchoille> filemover: try using gksudo adept  )
[04:08] <ryanakca> is there a way to stop receiving mail from Cron?
[04:08] <filemover> lol
[04:08] <ardchoille> filemover: try using gksudo adept
[04:08] <filemover> thnx
[04:08] <GarrettC> And I'm assuming you need the PC (Intel x86) file.

[04:09] <Lathiat> unhopeless: howdy :)
[04:09] <Hobbsee> hey gnomefreak
[04:09] <unhopeless> hi everyone can someone help me out
[04:09] <unhopeless> im stuk
[04:09] <Lathiat> unhopeless: so, you can't login?
[04:09] <GarrettC> jollyroger: No no. http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-releases/6.06/ubuntu-6.06-alternate-i386.iso
[04:09] <unhopeless> right
[04:09] <unhopeless> no
[04:09] <unhopeless> wait
[04:09] <Lathiat> unhopeless: what happens when you try?
[04:09] <GarrettC> jollyroger: That's a direct link to the file you need.
[04:09] <unhopeless> we can login
[04:09] <Lathiat> on, oh, continue..
[04:09] <unhopeless> just thats as far as we can get
[04:09] <Shadowpillar> are there no hex editors for ubuntu?
[04:09] <Anderson> Ok
[04:09] <unhopeless> we login and type in passy
[04:09] <Lathiat> so what do you end up with on screen?
[04:09] <jollyroger> thank you
[04:09] <Anderson> Infern0o, I'll take a look
[04:09] <gnomefreak> Hobbsee: i know you have all the answers ;) and its a kubuntu issue ;)
[04:09] <Lathiat> Shadowpillar: a quick apt-cache search shows a number of them
[04:10] <LjL> Shadowpillar: on KDE, i use khexedit
[04:10] <unhopeless> it says his login name
[04:10] <Lathiat> Shadowpillar: open synaptic / adept and search for hex edit i guess
[04:10] <skavenge> trey: hmm never seen that error .. do cat /var/log/messages and see if it says anything
[04:10] <unhopeless> and the this thin looks like ms-dos
[04:10] <unhopeless> he can type
[04:10] <unhopeless> but nothing opens afterwards
[04:10] <godtvisken> How do I setup Ubuntu to use ALSA?
[04:10] <Lathiat> unhopeless: so the graphical login doesn't come up?
[04:10] <filemover> no its still not working it seems like you have to have the full path to the exucutable in the command string
[04:10] <gnomefreak> skavenge: you do have kubuntu installed right?
[04:10] <unhopeless> nope
[04:10] <Lathiat> unhopeless: doesn't say 'Ubuntu' on an orange screen?
[04:10] <Hobbsee> gnomefreak: i wouldnt bet on it.  heh
[04:10] <unhopeless> it looks like ms-dos
[04:10] <gnomefreak> ah i might
[04:10] <Lathiat> unhopeless: i see, fresh install?
[04:10] <unhopeless> when it asks for login
[04:11] <unhopeless> yeah
[04:11] <unhopeless> fresh install
[04:11] <GarrettC> godtvisken: What kind of ALSA card do you have?
[04:11] <Lathiat> unhopeless: ok when you login it should come up with
[04:11] <gnomefreak> skavenge: sudo apt-get build-dep kubuntu-desktop
[04:11] <skavenge> gnomefreak: yeah it was  ubuntu but its been converted
[04:11] <Lathiat> unhopeless: 'username@hostname:~$'
[04:11] <Lathiat> unhopeless: correct?
[04:11] <unhopeless> right
[04:11] <skavenge> gnomefreak: okay ill try that
[04:11] <gnomefreak> skavenge: let me know if it installs anything
[04:11] <Lathiat> unhopeless: type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:11] <asusathlo> xdvdshrink how difficult?
[04:11] <unhopeless> ok
[04:11] <Lathiat> unhopeless: and tell me what outputs
[04:11] <unhopeless> then it will open?
[04:11] <Lathiat> unhopeless: well that will give me an idea whats wrong and why it isnt coming up
[04:11] <Anderson> Infern0o, How did you verify what type of card you have?
[04:12] <unhopeless> ok one sec
[04:12] <Shadowpillar> Lathiat: nope
[04:12] <unhopeless> going to get other laptop
[04:12] <Lathiat> Shadowpillar: have you enable universe?
[04:12] <Shadowpillar> yes
[04:12] <godtvisken> GarrettC: ALi M5455
[04:12] <unhopeless> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart?
[04:12] <Anderson> Infern0o, lspci will show you all of the pci devices installed, double check that you are working with the card you think you are.
[04:12] <trey> skavage: i didnt see any
[04:12] <unhopeless> right?
[04:12] <Lathiat> Shadowpillar: well i see 'ghex' for one
[04:12] <Lathiat> unhopeless: yep
[04:13] <Lathiat> no ? mark on the end obviously
[04:13] <gnomefreak> if i am right that command will give you files you would need to build any kde app
[04:13] <Shadowpillar> Lathiat: oops, I know what happened, nevermind
[04:13] <asusathlo> xdvdshrink how difficult to install?
[04:13] <unhopeless> its rebooting now
[04:13] <asusathlo> xdvdshrink how difficult to install?
[04:13] <unhopeless> we had to turn comp on
[04:13] <GhettoPuNKkiD> godtvisken: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=884808&postcount=3
[04:13] <Ronz> assus, sudo apt-get install xdvdshrink
[04:13] <skavenge> gnomefreak: installed one package, 'germinate'
[04:13] <Lathiat> Ronz: not in the standard repositroies
[04:13] <gnomefreak> hmmm
[04:13] <GarrettC> godtvisken: Don't happen to have a ASUS K8U-X do you?
[04:13] <Lathiat> skavenge: you probably dont want that
[04:13] <Shadowpillar> Lathiat: I was using apt-cache search and I accidently had two repos marked out in sources.list
[04:13] <Anderson> Infern0o, I have to get going, I have to be up early
[04:13] <asusathlo> thanks but i dont think i have the right lists?
[04:14] <godtvisken> GarrettC: i don't
[04:14] <Lathiat> Shadowpillar: ah :)
[04:14] <ardchoille> Ronz: I didn't think xdvdshrink was in the repos
[04:14] <godtvisken> GhettoPuNKkiD: i think i already tried that..
[04:14] <skavenge> Lathiat: what is it?
[04:14] <godtvisken> GhettoPuNKkiD: i'll try it again, i suppose
[04:14] <skavenge> the ./configure still dies *sigh*
[04:14] <Lathiat> skavenge: a tool largely used internally by the ubuntu devs
[04:14] <Schaal_> can anyone help me recompile my kernel for ac 97 sound support?
[04:14] <Anderson> Infern0o, Double check that you are using the ight card, and get with someoen else here, they will be able to help you.
[04:14] <Anderson> Infern0o, Sorry to cut out.
[04:14] <gnomefreak> skavenge: try sudo apt-get build-dep kde-base <<< that dont work than you are gonna have to decide what files it wants
[04:14] <Shadowpillar> I should have just gotten the DVD version for $10
[04:14] <GarrettC> godtvisken: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+ticket/421 might be of some help to you.
[04:15] <gnomefreak> skavenge: the #kubuntu people might know more on that
[04:15] <asusathlo> ronz, cant find package
[04:15] <Schaal_> help with kernel recompile?
[04:15] <unhopeless> ok im back
[04:15] <unhopeless> sorry lost connection
[04:15] <Lathiat> unhopeless: ok what happened?
[04:15] <unhopeless> ok we typed it in
[04:15] <skavenge> gnomefreak: ive  asked with no response there, and trying to build-dep kde-base gives me 'unable to find source for package kde-base'
[04:15] <trey> skavage: found somthing:      Jul 16 21:44:13 localhost kernel: [4297457.688000]  ndiswrapper version 1.1 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)

[04:16] <Flannel> skavenge: it's not kde-base it's kdebase
[04:16] <Lathiat> ah ok, so X is failing to start for some reason
[04:16] <gnomefreak> skavenge: does the readme or install file tell you what depends it has?
[04:16] <Lathiat> unhopeless: Do you know what kind of video card he has?
[04:17] <GarrettC> I wear depends.
[04:17] <gnomefreak> Flannel: thats my fault :(
[04:17] <skavenge> qt headers and libraries for sure heh

[04:17] <gnomefreak> skavenge: but what versions of them and what ones are they is what im looking for
[04:17] <Lathiat> is that relatively new or old?
[04:17] <skavenge> Flannel: thanks
[04:17] <godtvisken> GarrettC: seen that too :l it must links to a link GhettoPuNKkiD gave me

[04:18] <gnomefreak> skavenge: they want qt 2.2?
[04:18] <skavenge> wow build-dep kdebase is 94 megs worth
[04:18] <skavenge> gnomefreak: yeah

[04:18] <Infern0o-> Anderson: still there?
[04:18] <Schaal_> hel recompiling kernel? new to this os
[04:18] <GarrettC> godtvisken: What's it doing? Just not working? Not being recognized?
[04:18] <meheren> I'm punning an HFS+ partition is there any way to copy all the data from that partition onto a reiserfs partition?
[04:18] <Flannel> !kernel
[04:18] <Lathiat> unhopeless: this is a laptop?
[04:18] <gnomefreak> skavenge: howfully kdebase will do it
[04:18] <ubotu> 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
[04:18] <unhopeless> my wireless internet is acting up
[04:18] <unhopeless> yeah its on a laptop
[04:18] <Lathiat> unhopeless: what model?
[04:18] <Lathiat> and brand?
[04:18] <unhopeless> hp
[04:18] <unhopeless> pavillion
[04:18] <Lathiat> got the model number?
[04:18] <meheren> both partitions are exactly 10gb no more no less
[04:18] <Flannel> Schaal_: see that link
[04:18] <skavenge> gnomefreak: yeah with all that installing id hope so, yeah the error says in need greater or equal to 2.2.2
[04:18] <unhopeless> hmmm.. one sec

[04:19] <unhopeless> ZE2000
[04:19] <FunnyLookinHat> OisacX, is it not showing up on your desktop?
[04:19] <GarrettC> unhopeless: What's your problem exactly?
[04:20] <Lathiat> GarrettC: his X is not starting
[04:20] <godtvisken> GarrettC: it works, but only with one program at a time. as in, if i am running banshee, then open a youtube video, youtube won't play sound until i close everything and reopen firefox
[04:20] <unhopeless> well it says that the X is failing to start
[04:20] <GarrettC> Lathiat: Thanks.
[04:20] <Lathiat> GarrettC: as its a laptop im getting the model so i can check if anyone else has otherwise figured it out beforehand :)
[04:20] <monik> hola
[04:20] <skavenge> trey: never seen that error honestly, all i can suggest is maybing trying to reinstall the drivers or check the forums/ndiswrapper homepage for anything
[04:20] <OisacX> FunnyLookinHat : Nope, it's sais that I don't have the permission
[04:20] <trey> skavenge:  found somthing:      Jul 16 21:44:13 localhost kernel: [4297457.688000]  ndiswrapper version 1.1 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)
[04:20] <trey> trey Jul 16 21:44:13 localhost loadndisdriver: loadndisdriver: load_driver(358): couldn't load driver wg311v3
[04:20] <FunnyLookinHat> OisacX, you won't be able to write to any windows drive, only read from it.
[04:20] <FunnyLookinHat> OisacX, can you at least browse the files?
[04:20] <GarrettC> Lathiat: What I was going to do. :P
[04:20] <[Ex0r] > hey there FunnyLookinHat
[04:20] <trey> skavenge: found that error  using  cat /var/log/messages
[04:20] <meheren> I'm running an HFS+ partition is there any way to copy all the data from that partition onto a reiserfs partition?
[04:20] <Lathiat> ok theres a bunch of HPs on the laptop testing page
[04:20] <meheren> both partitions are exactly 10gb no more no less
[04:20] <Lathiat> *looks*
[04:21] <corsachriz> OisacX: yOUR WIN Partitions have to be Fat32
[04:21] <Lathiat> none seem to be that exact model
[04:21] <skavenge> trey; yeah ive never seen that i dunno
[04:21] <FunnyLookinHat> [Ex0r] , sup dude
[04:21] <Flannel> corsachriz: er, what?
[04:21] <[Ex0r] > not much man, just got done working on my car
[04:21] <OisacX> FunnyLokkinHat : Nope... I've tried trhough System : Admin :  Drives tool and it's saying that I don't have permissions
[04:21] <Deedubb> hello, how do I get 'mail' - I usually do something like echo 'test' | mail -s "test email" addr@somesite.com
[04:21] <FunnyLookinHat> corsachriz, well You can access NTFS partitions, you just can't write to them
[04:21] <unhopeless> jeese
[04:21] <trey> skavenge: ok thanks i will check the ndiswrapper site
[04:21] <FunnyLookinHat> hmm
[04:21] <Flannel> !tell OisacX about ntfs
[04:22] <FunnyLookinHat> [Ex0r] , cool cool
[04:22] <Dimensions> is there any builtin software with ubuntu for video playing ?
[04:22] <unhopeless> any idea on what i should do to make the X to stop failing?
[04:22] <corsachriz> jep, but i think most of you need to write on
[04:22] <OisacX> it's ntfs
[04:22] <skavenge> trey: thats where i got instructions for mine so you might get lucky
[04:22] <Deedubb> !tell deedubb about mail
[04:22] <Deedubb> useless bot
[04:22] <FunnyLookinHat> OisacX, that's probably the problem then...  NTFS support is shotty at best.
[04:22] <meheren> I'm running an HFS+ partition is there any way to copy all the data from that partition onto a reiserfs partition?
[04:22] <corsachriz> OisacX: convert it in Fat32
[04:22] <OisacX> wait! I know how to do it.. it's saying I don't have permission
[04:22] <Lathiat> unhopeless: we could try fglrx
[04:22] <Lathiat> unhopeless: which is the ati proprietary driver
[04:22] <unhopeless> whats that
[04:22] <Lathiat> unhopeless: just see privmsg i want you to paste me something
[04:22] <[Ex0r] > FunnyLookinHat- not really, took 8 hours to do a 30 minute job, lol
[04:23] <Flannel> OisacX: that page will give you info on mounting so you DO have permission
[04:23] <GarrettC> godtvisken: Is the sound choppy at all?
[04:23] <Deedubb> mount -t ntfs -o ro,users,umask=0777 /dev/hda /mnt/ntfs
[04:23] <ryanakca> Dimensions: dunno... but you can install the "junior-games-*" packages
[04:23] <GarrettC> Lathiat: vesa?
[04:23] <fatsheep> hey I need some help installing sun java 1.5
[04:23] <meheren> both partitions are exactly 10gb no more no less
[04:23] <GloomyKnight> lathiat you can download the ati proprietary driver in ati website it's include a linux driver
[04:23] <Deedubb> anyone - how do I get 'mail'?
[04:23] <OisacX> Sure, but I don't want to do it in terminal way, but I want to use the graphical way, by the Drives tool
[04:23] <Lathiat> GloomyKnight: there are packages its easier to install from those :)
[04:23] <GhettoPuNKkiD> my problems are fixedd
[04:23] <Deedubb> apt-get install basicmailprogramthatwilldoeverythingIneed
[04:23] <ardchoille> !java > fatsheep
[04:24] <Dimensions> ryanakca:  games ? for video files ?
[04:24] <Lathiat> GarrettC: vesa?
[04:24] <GhettoPuNKkiD> Deedubb: SWEET
[04:24] <ryanakca> Deedubb: what kindof mail... local? pop/imap?
[04:24] <Deedubb> just send out an email
[04:24] <GloomyKnight> yes it's maybe use rpm packages
[04:24] <GarrettC> Lathiat: Isn't that the default "works on anything" video driver?
[04:24] <dr_willis> snailmail
[04:24] <dr_willis> :)
[04:24] <GhettoPuNKkiD> dr_willis: lol
[04:24] <GloomyKnight> just like for redhat
[04:24] <[Ex0r] > anyone here know the repository to add that allows you to install mythtv-0.19 ?
[04:24] <ryanakca> Deedubb: mutt :)
[04:24] <rada> look speek restrict    ctrl+w
[04:24] <dr_willis> blackmail
[04:24] <Deedubb> ryanakca: like echo "test" | mail addr@somesite.com
[04:24] <GloomyKnight> hehe i don't like this style
[04:24] <ryanakca> Deedubb: oh, to mail someone :)
[04:24] <Lathiat> GarrettC: yeh but its also the worst performance and you cant get decent resolution on it :)
[04:25] <OisacX> Flannel : Sure, but I don't want to do it in terminal way, but I want to use the graphical way, by the Drives tool
[04:25] <Deedubb> ya, basic mail

[04:25] <Ronz> "
[04:25] <Deedubb> I'm using postix on the server already
[04:25] <GarrettC> Lathiat: That's what the Linux experience is all about, though! :P

[04:25] <Ronz> dr_willis: wine
[04:25] <_mason> Im having rendering problems with .wma files in linux using Totem & VLC.. the RGB channels all sit about 2cm below the BW channel and a green line appears on the topmost of the clip
[04:25] <FunnyLookinHat> [Ex0r] , it's not existing yet.  I'm currently working on putting it into the repos.
[04:25] <GarrettC> godtvisken: Haven't forgot about you. I'm snooping.
[04:25] <larrywells> Has anyone tried the VMware Server that is being offered for free?
[04:25] <godtvisken> GarrettC: not that i know of..
[04:26] <dr_willis> Ive only used it in cedega -- and it worked like poo. :)
[04:26] <FunnyLookinHat> [Ex0r] , I can get you a link for unnoficial .19 repos though, hold on
[04:26] <godtvisken> GarrettC: snooping? thanks for the help
[04:26] <ardchoille> [Ex0r] : I believe mythtv is in multiverse
[04:26] <Deedubb> larrywells: yes, its not bad
[04:26] <[Ex0r] > FunnyLookinHat- It does, there is one I had before. It wasn't a ubuntu repo, but it was there :)
[04:26] <Lathiat> GarrettC: heh
[04:26] <Ronz> willis: is that good poo?  =)

[04:26] <FunnyLookinHat> [Ex0r] , yea hold on

[04:27] <_mason> Anyone, Wma rendering problems
[04:27] <_mason> ?
[04:27] <GarrettC> godtvisken: What kind of driver are you using?
[04:27] <FunnyLookinHat> [Ex0r] ,  There are known errors with those packages though, some weird dependencies and whatnot....  but it's better than trying to compile it
[04:27] <ryanakca> Deedubb: the "mail" command :)
[04:27] <[Ex0r] > thanks a million
[04:27] <[Ex0r] > FunnyLookinHat- worked fine last time :)
[04:27] <Deedubb> larrywells: it's alright but the init scripts aren't as clean as they should be; check ubuntus site for details on howto setup under ubuntu. For example the vmware tools don't work by default
[04:27] <_mason> using the 'windows32bit driver pack' on the ubuntu wikipage
[04:27] <larrywells> So have you installed in on ubuntu, Deedubb?
[04:27] <FunnyLookinHat> [Ex0r] , swe33t
[04:27] <Schaal_> i have no sound... im a sad little man without sound...help.
[04:27] <godtvisken> GarrettC: er.. i dunno really, i mean, i booted up ubuntu and sound worked (partially, as i still have the mentioned problem)
[04:27] <ryanakca> Deedubb: ex:   mail me@mydomain.com
[04:27] <Deedubb> ryanakca: see my example on usage, I know that part
[04:28] <larrywells> I have a slower maching, 500mgz, will it work there?
[04:28] <ryanakca> Deedubb: I don't know what more you're looking for... mutt is good....
[04:28] <Deedubb> bash: mail: command not found
[04:28] <GarrettC> godtvisken: I'm still a Linux n00b myself so...I don't know if I can really help you as far as installing drivers and whatnot. I'm just trying to find some answers or someone that has some similar problems.
[04:28] <alkj> ok this is unhopeless
[04:28] <Deedubb> apt-get install mail = no worky
[04:28] <Ronz> night world!

[04:29] <jer_> :)
[04:29] <Deedubb> corsachriz: watch for spaces
[04:29] <deep> If it is a folder then "rm -r /path/to/folder"
[04:29] <ryanakca> Deedubb: sudo aptitude install mailx
[04:29] <corsachriz> thx
[04:29] <Deedubb> mailx! you're a winnar!
[04:30] <three> the log is in system -> administration
[04:30] <ryanakca> MTecknology: what froze? Xorg?
[04:30] <deep> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-skills
[04:30] <jer_> http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/unixintro.html is a decent tutorial about unix i was doing earlier
[04:30] <larrywells> Do you have the ubuntu like for the VMWare Deedubb?
[04:30] <larrywells> link
[04:30] <MTecknology> ryanakca, everything froze, I couldn't even switch to a terminal
[04:30] <Deedubb> larrywells: no, sorry I don't
[04:30] <skavenge> gnomefreak: still didnt work .. end of config.log is showing me the exact name of the qt header files its looking for, can i use this to lookup what package its in somehow?
[04:30] <larrywells> ok
[04:31] <gnomefreak> skavenge: apt-cache search <file it gives you>
[04:31] <ryanakca> MTecknology: Xorg froze then... it controls the shortcut to go to terminal iirc... /var/log/Xorg something
[04:31] <pianoboy3333> Anyone here use quod libet?
[04:31] <OisacX> !tell OisacX about ntfs

[04:32] <GarrettC> godtvisken: http://www.4front-tech.com/install_gzipped.html installation instruction.
[04:32] <GarrettC> Hopefully that'll fix you up.
[04:32] <MTecknology> ryanakca, that didn't return anything - i wonder if it could be a hardware thing
[04:33] <skavenge> gnomefreak: finds nothing, checked three of the header files ..
[04:33] <skavenge> i really dont understand this
[04:33] <gnomefreak> me neither maybe ubuntu (version) that your on has different versions or names
[04:35] <GarrettC> Okay, so half the room is leaving now...

[04:59] <[Ex0r] > OisacX- means you closed the drive down before windows could close it properly. You'll have to boot into windows, and go start>shut down>shut down, and wait for it to turn itself off
[05:00] <Corporal_Dirge> ug, truecrypt man documents is tough reading
[05:00] <[Ex0r] > OisacX- similar to linux's chkdisk during startup
[05:00] <astromodder> why do i get this error message when I install Ubuntu AMD64: "Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface).  It is likely that it is not set up correctly.  Would you liketo view the X server output to diagnose the problem?"
[05:00] <NoName> goodbye then

[05:00] <astromodder> i have a pci-e card
[05:00] <OisacX> Damn...
[05:00] <nvez> astromodder, im not sure but it could be your card not having drivers on the install cd
[05:01] <astromodder> its an ATI Radeon X700 Pro
[05:01] <asusathlo> i am trying to install tvtime on radeo 9800 all in wonder, i have installed gatos, ati 3d drivers and tv time and i still get the same error message cannot open capture device /dev/video0. if anyone can give me a hint on how to proceed it would be greatly appreciated
[05:01] <OisacX> I truly hope that Ubuntu will meet my expectations after that... see ya
[05:01] <astromodder> i also got the alternative install cd and used text-based install, did the same thing after installed so i installed binary drivers and that didnt work either
[05:01] <nvez> OisacX, if it met mine, im sure itll meet yours.
[05:01] <nvez> :P
[05:02] <astromodder> the log file said that a display could not be found
[05:02] <[Ex0r] > astromodder- try running dpkg-reconfigure xorg.xconf
[05:02] <OisacX> hehehe... all that terminal things is getting me carzy !!!

[05:04] <three> you need to either put it in with all of the other icons or point that link to your png [mandeep] 
[05:04] <ToHellWithGA> i'm really screwed.  my install CD fails  at "usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py" but i don't have enough free space to install k3b and burn a new disc
[05:04] <mcquaid> does anyone know if jdong's script for backporting still works?
[05:04] <nvez> !mp4
[05:04] <ToHellWithGA> wtf can i do?
[05:04] <ubotu> I know nothing about mp4 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:04] <asusathlo> nvez what do you mean?
[05:04] <mcquaid> and would it work for something with as many packages as xfce?
[05:04] <ToHellWithGA> my whole PC cannot boot b/c the ubuntu install CD broke my boot sector
[05:04] <Schaal_> help with sound?
[05:04] <nvez> asusathlo, what software tells you "cannot open cature device"
[05:04] <asusathlo> tvtime
[05:04] <[Ex0r] > ToHellWithGA- Broke it? Were you attempting to install ubuntu ?
[05:04] <ToHellWithGA> mhmm
[05:05] <nvez> ToHellWithGA, you can try netboot disks?
[05:05] <mcquaid> I'd be nice if there was a rep or a backport of xfce/thunar beta 2
[05:05] <nvez> brb
[05:05] <[Ex0r] > ToHellWithGA- Dual-boot with windows ?
[05:05] <mandeep> three the png doesnt even show up in the list with the others even though its in the same directory
[05:05] <ToHellWithGA> how? i have 1 pc
[05:05] <mandeep> is there a max size?
[05:05] <[Ex0r] > ToHellWithGA- I was asking if you were trying to run windows and linux on the same machin
[05:05] <[Ex0r] > machine*
[05:05] <three> not that i know of
[05:05] <ToHellWithGA> i am not
[05:05] <mandeep> so any png should work?
[05:05] <[Ex0r] > ToHellWithGA- Than just re-install ubuntu
[05:05] <three> as far as i know
[05:06] <[Ex0r] > mandeep- move the png into /usr/share/pixmaps
[05:06] <mandeep> i did
[05:06] <[Ex0r] > and than load it from there
[05:06] <mandeep> and it doesnt show up
[05:06] <[Ex0r] > what's the size of it ?
[05:06] <mandeep> but the other icons do
[05:06] <mandeep> not sure
[05:06] <ToHellWithGA> [Ex0r] : I CANT, ASS
[05:06] <mandeep> let me check
[05:06] <ToHellWithGA> it's breaking on install
[05:06] <ToHellWithGA> you're not listening, man
[05:06] <[Ex0r] > sizes are 32x32 and 64x64
[05:06] <mandeep> oh
[05:06] <ToHellWithGA> the ubuntu installer is breaking on installation from the CD
[05:06] <Corporal_Dirge> What do I need to do to get VLC to play MP4?
[05:06] <[Ex0r] > ToHellWithGA- Breaking on install? Where is it breaking at
[05:06] <mandeep> so i need to resize it to one of those sizes
[05:06] <three> ive put larger files in there [exor] 
[05:07] <ToHellWithGA> [Ex0r] : jussasec, imma pastebin it
[05:07] <[Ex0r] > three- those are just typical sizes
[05:07] <three> oh

[05:08] <Corporal_Dirge> Anyone else have issues with MP4?
[05:08] <joemauch> i use onboard sound (some realtek device) and i cant listen to any audio in my browser if music is playing, is there anything that can be done? when i close the music player firefox-audio works
[05:08] <[Ex0r] > ToHellWithGA- corrupoted install cd ?
[05:09] <[Ex0r] > joemauch- no, it's a bug in the firefox plugin.
[05:09] <three> mandeep- to tell you the truth I'm not sure
[05:09] <[Ex0r] > corrupted*
[05:09] <ToHellWithGA> [Ex0r] : i checked the CD
[05:09] <joemauch> [Ex0r] , really?
[05:09] <ToHellWithGA> all checksums pass
[05:09] <mandeep> ya it is
[05:09] <[Ex0r] > joemauch- yeah.
[05:09] <joemauch> [Ex0r] , do you know of any newer builds that might of fixed it?
[05:09] <mandeep> the icon is 32x32 btw
[05:09] <[Ex0r] > joemauch- Nope, i'm still waiting for it to be fixed.
[05:10] <joemauch> =/
[05:10] <joemauch> pita
[05:10] <[Ex0r] > ToHellWithGA- Did you run a diag test on the hdd to make sure it wasn't going south?
[05:10] <joemauch> thanks though
[05:10] <three> mandeep- sry i cant help more
[05:10] <ToHellWithGA> [Ex0r] : it was fine a day ago when i rebooted ubuntu itself and did a fsck
[05:10] <mandeep> wait i got it
[05:10] <three> what did you do?
[05:11] <ToHellWithGA> i checked the disk before testing ubuntu, kubuntu, and xubuntu via live CD
[05:11] <mandeep> closed it and opened the menu editor a couple of times
[05:11] <[Ex0r] > ToHellWithGA- Can you get into a terminal by any chance ?
[05:11] <ToHellWithGA> foka: no worries, not stress, you lucky motha ;)
[05:11] <ToHellWithGA> [Ex0r] : not by booting
[05:11] <ToHellWithGA> grub is screwed
[05:11] <ToHellWithGA> i can by live CD
[05:11] <three> mandeep- lol that works
[05:11] <wheels3572> How do I switch between desktops?

[05:14] <mandeep> and dist upgrade
[05:14] <[Ex0r] > ToHellWithGA- No I think it's a hardware to software problem.
[05:14] <OisacX> hi everyone...
[05:15] <OisacX> you'll not beleive me ! it's not working...! yeah!
[05:15] <three> later everyone
[05:15] <mandeep> o
[05:15] <ToHellWithGA> [Ex0r] : could you help me with that in PM maybe?

[05:15] <bruenig> JonBoon, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[05:15] <ToHellWithGA> i'm trying to figure out what that page is telling me to do and not quite getting it :(
[05:15] <Dimensions> hie .. i have installed ubuntu in my office laptops ... i want to run a script on my client laptops when ever ubuntu starts ... i have tried it from system preferences sessions menu ... it wont work from there though other program i tried worked with that method ... any idea ?
[05:15] <OisacX> but !!! I see the the software does not recognize the file system...
[05:16] <godtvisk1n> I am trying to compile something but I get this error: "make[1] : Warning: File `Makefile' has modification time 1.8e+04 s in the future" What do I do?
[05:16] <david_594> hey, is there any reason my screen would be really dark?
[05:16] <david_594> i just installed ubuntu...
[05:16] <mandeep> how dark is it
[05:16] <mandeep> what video card do you have
[05:16] <bruenig> Dimensions, It should work if you write the script, make sure it is executable and then just put the path to it in the session start up commands
[05:16] <david_594> i have 2 systesm running ubuntou... one is just much darker, card is a nvidia geforce2
[05:17] <ToHellWithGA> mandeep: so dark i couldn't see a cockroach crawling up a pile of coals!
[05:17] <mandeep> haha
[05:17] <[Ex0r] > ToHellWithGA- Is that a serial ata drive ?
[05:17] <ToHellWithGA> .me finds "how dark is it" to be a prompt for some kind of bad comedy
[05:17] <Corporal_Dirge> ok, founf the issue, VLC is currently broken in Dapper. MKV and MP4 will not play. Wish someone using both would have said so.
[05:17] <mandeep> u could try installing the nvidia driver for ur card
[05:17] <OisacX> Exor : fuse: failed to exec fusermount: Aucun fichier ou rpertoire de ce type fuse_mount failed. Unmounting: Download

[05:17] <david_594> so finding an nvidia driver? or hints on installing?

[05:18] <ToHellWithGA> [Ex0r] : it installed before though
[05:18] <david_594> thanks
[05:18] <ToHellWithGA> the only hardware change i can think of is using a USB keyboard that i recently bought instead of my old (now broken) PS2 keyboard
[05:18] <mandeep> david
[05:19] <david_594> yes
[05:19] <ToHellWithGA> the rest is fully identical, partitions and all, to the previous install
[05:19] <[Ex0r] > ToHellWithGA- Well than I seriously don't know what to tell you. All the suggestions I have given you from my search of google have bared the same results, and you said you've done them all.
[05:19] <mandeep> im going to pm you
[05:19] <david_594> cool
[05:19] <ToHellWithGA> .me cries
[05:19] <ToHellWithGA> ubuntu dapper is so much better than fedora!  or breezy
[05:19] <astromodder> now i get this error when booting: "RuntimeError: could not open display"
[05:20] <[Ex0r] > OisacX- I do not understand spanish, or whatever language that message was in
[05:20] <[Ex0r] > astromodder- is this a fresh install ?
[05:20] <astromodder> yes
[05:20] <OisacX> oh.. yes, sorry
[05:21] <astromodder> i did a fresh install, then ran that command you gave me earlier
[05:21] <astromodder> yes it was a fresh install
[05:21] <[Ex0r] > astromodder-- what kind of card is it ?
[05:21] <mandeep> dapper is the best distro yet
[05:21] <astromodder> Ati Radeon X700 Pro PCI-E

[05:22] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:22] <david_594> it started... and just never ended
[05:22] <david_594> then i went to ubuntu
[05:22] <david_594> life is better now :)
[05:22] <mandeep> ya
[05:22] <mandeep> and with xgl and compiz
[05:22] <mandeep> u cant go wrong

[05:22] <Dimensions> i donno we give this command to run it ./server config.ini interminal and it runs this way ...
[05:23] <[Ex0r] > astromodder- did you select ati via the command I gave you ?
[05:23] <astromodder> yes
[05:23] <JonBoon> whats the link for instructions on changing your repositories to get mp3s to play?
[05:23] <Dimensions> bruenig: ...
[05:23] <[Ex0r] > hmm, that's very weird than
[05:23] <[Ex0r] > have you had ubuntu on the machine before ?
[05:23] <astromodder> not on this machine
[05:23] <Brunellus> Hi there.  I'm trying to share my computer's net connection (wirelessly)
[05:24] <[Ex0r] > astromodder- im wondering if there is support for that card yet
[05:24] <astromodder> well that card is fairly old, i have the same card but AGP in another computer and it runs fine
[05:24] <astromodder> i'll have to try with a standard pci card
[05:24] <Brunellus> the host (funes) is using ath0;  eth0 is plugged into *another* wireless router.  I want to use this host as an access point--how do I route from ath0 to eth0?
[05:25] <rebelfallen> When I run: sudo -s dpkg-reconfigure xserver.xorg   I get errors like this: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: line 6: my: command not found       /  how can I fix this?
[05:25] <bruenig> Dimensions, did that not work?
[05:25] <[Ex0r] > astromodder- I know, might be the PCI-E. Not completely sure on ubuntu's support as of yet. Still learning.
[05:25] <pppoe_dude> rebelfallen, -
[05:25] <rebelfallen> oh
[05:25] <rebelfallen> heh
[05:25] <astromodder> ah i see
[05:25] <mandeep> david
[05:25] <pppoe_dude> rebelfallen, xserver-xorg
[05:25] <Dimensions> bruenig:  that does work i mean that way we run the script but i want to auto run it on system boot ... which i tried with adding it to sessions but that didn't work out
[05:25] <NoName> anyone here use a usb microphone with skype in ubuntu?
[05:25] <david_594> hey
[05:25] <rebelfallen> ya thanks my bad
[05:26] <OisacX> Exor : I'm on something.. brb
[05:26] <mandeep> sorry hold on
[05:26] <david_594> no problem
[05:26] <mandeep> for some reason i cant pm you
[05:26] <mandeep> i guess since im not registered
[05:26] <[Ex0r] > mandeep- both nicks have to be registered
[05:26] <[Ex0r] > i gotta get to bed guys!
[05:26] <mandeep> oh
[05:26] <bruenig> Dimensions, do you mean script or command?
[05:26] <[Ex0r] > I have to work 12 hours tomorrow
[05:26] <mandeep> ok david run this command
[05:26] <mandeep> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common
[05:26] <mandeep> then
[05:26] <mandeep> sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[05:26] <mandeep> and then restart gnome
[05:26] <david_594> ok
[05:26] <iGotNoTime> I am brand new to Linux like an hour ago now and am looking for software advice..... is there a media player app that will support audio, video podcasts and ipod all four out there?
[05:27] <Dimensions> the script bruenig ... i want the script to be run automatically when the system boots ..
[05:27] <david_594> command for restart gnone?
[05:27] <mandeep> alt ctrl bspace
[05:27] <mcquaid> does anyone know if jdong's ubp-build.py backport script works still? And would it work with something like xfce (something with numberous packages)
[05:27] <[Ex0r] > david_594- ctrl+alt+backspace
[05:27] <david_594> ok
[05:27] <bruenig> DImensions, by script you mean a text file that you wrote and made executable via chmod +x, right?
[05:27] <mandeep> should work
[05:27] <Dimensions> bruenig:  normally i use that command to run that script ... as we have the clients controlled remotely so we want it to be auto run every time our client pcs starts ...
[05:27] <Brunellus> iGotNoTime: 1) get you codecs sorted out.  read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[05:28] <jared_> Wher ecan I get dvd codecs for dapper?
[05:28] <jared_> JB22
[05:28] <jared_> er
[05:28] <mandeep> automatix
[05:28] <IraqiGeek> hi, two probelms, first the synaptics touchpad on a laptop i installed xubuntu on stopped working after a restart, though it works fine under windows
[05:28] <[Ex0r] > !tell Jb22 about restricted
[05:28] <Dimensions> bruenig:  exactly ...
[05:28] <Corporal_Dirge> I have an external HDD that had 2 partitions, I want to format it and merge, but there's no option to merge it.
[05:29] <[Ex0r] > Corporal_Dirge- gparted ?
[05:29] <astromodder> is there a list on ubuntu's site of currently supported pci-e cards
[05:29] <bruenig> Dimensions, what is the path to it?
[05:29] <Corporal_Dirge> gparted?
[05:29] <IraqiGeek> the second, i cant get the orinoco minipci wifi card to get even detected, again it works fine under windows
[05:29] <[Ex0r] > !gparted
[05:29] <ubotu> gparted is a GUI partitioning program, "apt-get install gparted", also available as a live cd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[05:29] <snoops> umm what's the go with hd video content on linux? What's the best player? Because I'm having pretty choppy playback on a 4400+ x2 amd on mplayer/totem/vlc
[05:29] <iGotNoTime> Brunellus, you are saying that it is not possible??
[05:29] <earthen> has anyone setup an OFP dedicated server here
[05:30] <wheels3572> are we allowed to use the bot to search for things?
[05:30] <Dimensions> there is a folder in system files ... there are .ini and the file is on server name ...
[05:30] <Arramol> IraqiGeek, have you installed ndiswrapper for the wireless card?
[05:30] <iGotNoTime> Brunellus, I am reading that page and it appears Kaffiene might do it but what do you mean to get my codecs sorted out?
[05:30] <Brunellus> iGotNoTime, I am saying that you should first read that wikipage to deal with possible "can't play this sort of media" problems.
[05:30] <IraqiGeek> arramol, no cause there is a native linux driver for orinoco cards
[05:30] <Arramol> Ok, I wouldn't know about the native drivers
[05:30] <asusathlo> here my problem
[05:30] <Brunellus> iGotNoTime, Kaffeine is only a frontend for the xine player.
[05:30] <asusathlo> Running tvtime 1.0.1.
[05:30] <asusathlo> Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
[05:31] <asusathlo> Reading configuration from /home/oem/.tvtime/tvtime.xml
[05:31] <asusathlo> videoinput: Cannot open capture device /dev/video0: No such file or directory
[05:31] <OisacX> Anyonw has good as Exor here?
[05:31] <wheels3572> !desktops
[05:31] <iGotNoTime> Brunellus, xine in theory could play anything could it not?
[05:31] <IraqiGeek> arramol, however i cant get the kernel to detect the card
[05:31] <ubotu> The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are Gnome (ubuntu-desktop), KDE (kubuntu-desktop), XCFE (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM  and others.
[05:31] <Arramol> Does anyone know why Ubuntu apparently no longer supports a VIA Rhine II Ethernet card?
[05:31] <Arramol> Worked fine under Breezy, but not in Dapper
[05:31] <Arramol> Also not detected in Kubuntu Dapper or openSUSE 10.1
[05:31] <Just4> I'm running a Rhine II and a Rhine III, no problems here
[05:31] <paied> recompile the kernel
[05:32] <Brunellus> iGotNoTime, provided you have the necesssary codecs for it, yes.   decoding video/audio streams is not a fucntion of the player software itself, but the codecs.  Ubuntu ships with Free/OpenSource codecs only (ogg vorbis, ogg theora).
[05:32] <Arramol> Does work in an old Knoppix Live CD (v 3.8 ) and the May '06 Symphony OS Beta
[05:32] <IraqiGeek> arramol, got another laptop that has a rhine ii interface, and it works fine under mepis 6 (which uses ubuntu packages)
[05:32] <wheels3572> To anyone how do you switch Desktops?  From Ubuntu to Kubuntu and or to Xubuntu?
[05:32] <Just4> Anyone know how to get the TV-Out working on a Radeon 9000 card?
[05:32] <wspinelli> #ubuntu-br
[05:32] <iGotNoTime> Brunellus, I see.... So I guess my last question is will it support an ipod?
[05:32] <wspinelli> j/ #ubuntu-br
[05:33] <Arramol> IraqiGeek, how recent is Mepis 6?  I'm not familiar with their release history
[05:33] <Just4> Or getting tv-out working in general?
[05:33] <Brunellus> iGotNoTime, ipod support is handled by things like AmaroK (which is a fine media/music player/manager) or gtkpod
[05:33] <wheels3572> wspinelli if your trying to join another room type /join #ubuntu-br
[05:33] <Dimensions> bruenig:  there is a folder on / and the file is in that folder named filter
[05:33] <IraqiGeek> arramol, mepis 6 is still in rc state, but its supposed to be release within a few days
[05:33] <iGotNoTime> Brunellus, thank you so much !!!!!
[05:33] <Brunellus> iGotNoTime, don't mention it.
[05:34] <iGotNoTime> I love this community :D
[05:34] <Arramol> Interesting.  I thought it was due to some change in newer Linux kernel versions or something, but that doesn't make sense if it's working under an upcoming RC
[05:34] <bruenig> Dimensions, from that i get that the file is in /filter/script
[05:34] <bruenig> is that correct?
[05:34] <wheels3572> Brunellus:  Do you know how to switch between desktops?
[05:35] <Jb22> Does anyone know if a RadioShack PC Cam is compatible with ubuntu dapper, if so, where I can get the drivers.
[05:35] <fivre> speaking of which, I should get back to getting Gnomad and libmtp up...
[05:35] <Dimensions> bruenig:  file is in /filter or home/filter ( its in the office laptop i dont have it right now infront of me )
[05:35] <bruenig> wheels, once you have installed the kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop packages just logout into the gdm screen or kdm or whatever it is called and then go to options the options menu
[05:35] <dm_> Minor problem, AMAROK WONT PLAY MY MP3S GAHHH
[05:35] <Brunellus> wheels3572, yes.  if you mean "installing" them, you only need to install the relevant metapackages--so "kubuntu-desktop" for kubuntu, "xubuntu-dekstop" for Xubuntu.  You can change sessions using the Display manager (the graphical login screen)--that will allow you to choose the kind of session you want (GNOME, KDE, or whatever)
[05:36] <Brunellus> dm_, read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[05:36] <Generic> yep, this is getting rediclous
[05:36] <Brunellus> dm_, also, don't type in all caps for a common thing like that.
[05:36] <Generic> mplayer dissapeared too
[05:36] <MTecknology> How can I do a full backup of my system, installs, wireless config, etc, except for two folders in my home directory?
[05:36] <joemauch> [Ex0r] , do you know if it's a realtek device bug? i have a sblive lying around, you think that'd get around it?
[05:37] <roostishaw> anyone, how do i stop my apache2 server, and stop it from starting on startup in the future?
[05:37] <bruenig> Dimensions, if it is /filter/script, then in the session start up commands you should be able to use sudo /filter/script and have it run or under /home/filter/script run sudo /home/filter/script and it should run
[05:37] <Arramol> DM, are you using an x86 install?
[05:37] <wheels3572> Brunellus: I already downloaded and installed them I just wanna test out each desktop :) see which I like :)
[05:37] <bruenig> DImensions, although, i suppose the sudo might require a password, I didn't think of that
[05:38] <Brunellus> wheels3572, then log out, and you should be able to choose them as "sessions" in GDM or KDM
[05:38] <linuxpoet> anyone have their alt-f2 ever stop working?
[05:38] <wheels3572> ok
[05:38] <roostishaw> anyone, how do i stop my apache2 server, and stop it from starting on startup in the future?
[05:38] <Dimensions> bruenig:  ... that command will just execute the file ... while we want the file to run every time system starts up ... we can run the file manually always ...
[05:38] <DaveyJ> what's sigmatel and why does it keep coming up under my alsa mixer? i'm using an audigy
[05:38] <IraqiGeek> anyone has any idea why the touchpad stopped working after a restart?
[05:38] <mandeep> when i try to open an .exe and it says cannot display this item does that mean wine can't handle it?
[05:39] <DaveyJ> mandeep: you have to manually launch it through wine
[05:39] <mandeep> or do i need to do something
[05:39] <bruenig> Dimensions, it will execute it every time the system starts up if it is in the startup commands
[05:39] <dm_> Brunellus i know : P i was seeing how long it took for someone to respond. ( back to linux finally )
[05:39] <DaveyJ> mandeep: open up a terminal and do "wine [app.exe] 
[05:39] <DaveyJ> "
[05:39] <mandeep> with winecfg?
[05:39] <mandeep> oh
[05:39] <DaveyJ> i'm sure theres an easier way.. but thats the way i know ;)
[05:39] <rgie> hi guys, anyone here can help me to install FLV player?
[05:40] <dm_> brunellus hmm it still wont work
[05:40] <dm_> brunellus nm gots it
[05:40] <Brunellus> Ok, does anybody want to help me on a routing issue?
[05:41] <Jb22> WHat kind of router?
[05:41] <mandeep> ya ive heard of that way
[05:41] <mandeep> can wine run all apps?
[05:41] <bruenig> Dimensions, this is one of the only things that KDE had an advantage on for me was that you could just put scripts in the .Autostart directory and it would run them on startup. But, I believe if I am hearing you right, just putting the path to the script on the startup will work at least in concept.
[05:41] <MTecknology> How can I do a full backup of my system, installs, wireless config, etc, except for two folders in my home directory?
[05:41] <Arramol> Mandeep, no, only some
[05:42] <mandeep> whats the limit
[05:42] <Arramol> Mandeep, I may have misunderstood you.  Are you asking if it can run all your apps at once, or all apps made for Windows?
[05:42] <bruenig> MTecknology, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087&highlight=back+restore+system
[05:42] <MTecknology> thanks
[05:42] <mandeep> all apps made for windows
[05:43] <Brunellus> mandeep, no it cannot.  it can run some apps, with avrying degrees of success.
[05:43] <drak0> anyone around that can help with mysql running on ubuntu
[05:43] <Arramol> Mandeep - No, it has trouble with some of them, especially games
[05:43] <mandeep> ya i just tried fl studio and it was a no go
[05:43] <Arramol> Yeah, Macromedia Studio doesn't work for me.  I got the install file to launch but then it somehow bypassed the emulator and figured out I wasn't on XP, told me the OS wasn't supported
[05:43] <stram> is there a simple way to type an umlaut on linux?
[05:44] <Arramol> But I'm not all that good with WINE, someone else may have had more luck
[05:44] <vook> anyone know how to force a dapper install into text mode at boot? (the old install method, aka debian style)?
[05:44] <isede> does anybody know a way to run ATI USB TV under ubuntu?
[05:44] <Davek23x> is there a better gui app to dtermine drive space than the drive properties(slow as hell)
[05:45] <sam_> when you install the ati driver do you install 3d
[05:46] <david_594> got the nvidia driver working... but the color is still way off...
[05:46] <david_594> im wondering if its a hardware issue...
[05:46] <Davek23x> david- what card

[05:47] <david_594> i am getting major artifacting on the screen though
[05:48] <mandeep> hmm
[05:48] <IraqiGeek> anyone here knows how to get the synaptics touchpad working back?
[05:48] <GhettoPuNKkiD> IraqiGeek: what kind of laptop do u have?
[05:48] <mandeep> the card should be supported
[05:48] <david_594> it semeed fine with the driver
[05:48] <IraqiGeek> acer c100 tablet pc
[05:49] <GhettoPuNKkiD> IraqiGeek: and it worked before?
[05:49] <MTecknology> What happens if you try to make a backup to a backup that your including in the backup????
[05:49] <IraqiGeek> ghetto, it was working fine, but stopped after a restart
[05:49] <IraqiGeek> running xubuntu 6.06
[05:49] <farous> IraqiGeek: did you change your xorg.conf file
[05:49] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ok
[05:50] <david_594> changed the driver in xorg from nv to nvidia
[05:50] <IraqiGeek> naver came close to it, i was trying to get the damn orinoco minipci wifi card to work
[05:50] <david_594> oh, not me
[05:50] <GhettoPuNKkiD> isnt that a wacom based tablet?
[05:50] <farous> IraqiGeek: anyway you can always backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file then dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:50] <IraqiGeek> yep, but the digitizer isnt working either
[05:50] <jiff> friend is telling me to use opensuse instead of ubuntu
[05:50] <jiff> for its enterprise support
[05:50] <mandeep> did anything change when you added the driver?
[05:50] <jiff> thoughts?

[05:50] <GhettoPuNKkiD> try that
[05:51] <IraqiGeek> c110 is a different animal
[05:51] <godtvisken> I just booted and didn't hear any bootup noise.. it has always worked before.. it's not like my speakers aren't plugged in either
[05:51] <david_594> nothing changed with the different driver
[05:51] <godtvisken> I was trying to get it to work with more than one application, but now it doesn't work at all
[05:52] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ah

[05:53] <BHSPitLappy> hi
[05:53] <vook> omg, I started this dapper install 20 minutes ago, and I am just now getting the date screen to pop up.  Is there a text install for dapper like there was in breezy, or  is that all history?
[05:53] <angasule> e

[05:54] <IraqiGeek> aujordanh, the touchpad stopped working, and i dont have a mouse
[05:54] <IraqiGeek> cant navigate any menus
[05:54] <BHSPitLappy> Corporal_Dirge, why didn't we think of that slogan first?
[05:54] <aujordanh> IraqiGeek: ah
[05:54] <mcquaid> Hobbsee, do you see any reason why I can't get libthunar-vfs-1-2 using that source line?
[05:54] <Corporal_Dirge> MP4, MKV, WMV, Truecrypt, nada

[05:55] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[05:56] <wheels3572> Is there a good site that describes the actual differences between Desktops?
[05:56] <BHSPitLappy> wheels3572, between what desktops?

[05:57] <wheels3572> Mainly KDE and Xfce4
[05:57] <Brunellus> OK.  say I want to plug a router into eth0
[05:57] <mandeep> have u tried any of them wheels
[05:57] <Brunellus> and I want to give that router a fixed IP....how do I do that?
[05:57] <wheels3572> Yes as a matter of fact I just looked at all 3
[05:57] <wheels3572> lol
[05:57] <IraqiGeek> the bastard is working (the touchpad) after yet another restart
[05:58] <mandeep> so what do u want to know
[05:58] <fivre> KDE is more eyecandy and probably easier to use, XFCE is faster
[05:58] <jiff> why is ubuntu better than opensuse
[05:58] <mandeep> cuz opensuse blows
[05:58] <paf> Hi, newbie question: what is the default root password (for Dapper)?
[05:58] <jiff> why
[05:58] <BHSPitLappy> how can I use apt-get to show me a package's dependencies?
[05:58] <fivre> and in KDE, every included app starts with a K
[05:58] <vook> Brunellus, depends on the router
[05:58] <mandeep> not enough features
[05:58] <fowlduck> !root
[05:58] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:58] <wheels3572> fivre:  Thanks thats' what I was basically looking at
[05:58] <fowlduck> pa
[05:58] <fivre> in highly annoying fashion
[05:58] <Jb22> Okay: I downloaded the dvd codec and I installed mplayer, but, mplayer wont play my dvd. I inserted the dvd and started mplayer, no dice...

[06:00] <Brunellus> vook:  this host has a wireless internet connection (connected via ath0).  I'm trying to use it as a second wireless access poitn for this floor.  So I'm trying to plug another wireless router into eth0 and have another network within the network.
[06:00] <Jb22> what would be the name for my dvd player, like /dev/BlahBlahBlah
[06:00] <jyoungxx> what is the mkfs.vfat command for making a fat32 filesystem for Large files?  mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/hd6?
[06:00] <Brunellus> how would I go about it?
[06:00] <jyoungxx> there is another option for that
[06:00] <IraqiGeek> ok, back to the orinoco card
[06:00] <fivre> still need someone with snes9x to help me :|
[06:01] <mandeep> snes9x emulator?
[06:01] <paf> oh, I see.
[06:01] <Hoxzer> for some reason I find it ugly that men are so much hornier than womens
[06:01] <IraqiGeek> whenever i restart xubuntu, i do dmesg orinoco, and it returns nothing, even though the driver is installed
[06:01] <IraqiGeek> any ideas why this is hapenning?
[06:01] <corsachriz> what time is it
[06:01] <paf> ubotu, thanks.
[06:01] <ubotu> I know nothing about thanks. - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:01] <fivre> Yeah
[06:01] <fivre> mine didn't come with a ctl file for some reason
[06:01] <fivre> I need someone to dcc me one or something
[06:02] <MTecknology> What it the /proc directory for??
[06:02] <vook> Brunellus, well, assign the new router a static IP within the current networks range.  Tell the new router to assign DHCP addresses in a different range than the first router, make sure your masks are all correct as well as DNS and gateways, you should be all set
[06:02] <fivre> funny ubotu
[06:02] <Brunellus> fivre, ubotu's a bot.
[06:03] <Brunellus> vook:  just to clarify, this would be a totally new network.  how do I make this host serve that router?
[06:03] <BHSPitLappy> is there a way using apt to view a package's dependencies??

[06:03] <fivre> I know

[06:03] <Cntryboy> where does kubuntu keep the open gl screen savers?
[06:04] <Cntryboy> ??
[06:04] <fivre> dunno... Look up the package in Synaptic and look at the installed files under properties?
[06:04] <Samus_Aran> anyone know why MPlayer on Ubuntu is not reading my user's TTF which is in ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf ?  does Ubuntu not compile MPlayer with TTF support, or is there something else magical I have to do to enable this ?
[06:04] <Thunderguy> Hey you know that aptmovehowto guide? That let's you create a CD of updates? what if you have a repository bigger then 1 cd?
[06:05] <SurfnKid> anyone know why my mouse speed is faster after i come from suspend mode, and not when i normally boot
[06:05] <fivre> Cntryboy: hold on, I'll try and find it
[06:05] <Cntryboy> fivre: thx
[06:05] <vook> Brunellus, well, I'm thinking, for example, have router one assign addresses 10.0.1.1-254, have router two assigned addresses 10.0.1.2.2.254, set up a subnet mask of 255.255.252.0.  As for ath0, I'm not sure.  Just have router2 depend on router one, you'll just add a hop.
[06:06] <harveyfly> My installion of ubuntu stops at "uncompressing linux. ok, boot the kernel"
[06:06] <fivre> Synaptic is so damn slow... Is there some faster GUI pack manager?
[06:06] <harveyfly> what can I do?
[06:06] <Brunellus> vook, how would I end up making that work?
[06:06] <Brunellus> ugh.  I wish I could draw a diagram!
[06:06] <SurfnKid> dia!
[06:06] <SurfnKid> !dia
[06:06] <ubotu> I know nothing about dia - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:06] <zammit> harveyfly, i had the same situation - what are you pc specs?
[06:07] <SurfnKid> network diagram :)
[06:07] <harveyfly> ibm x41 laptop
[06:07] <Thunderguy> fivre: Synaptic isn't slow here, it might be your computer
[06:07] <SurfnKid> oh well
[06:07] <harveyfly> I use a usb harddisk to install, since my labtop has no cdrom
[06:07] <fivre> /usr/share/xscreensaver/
[06:07] <fivre> I think
[06:07] <SurfnKid> i guess ill live with this problem
[06:07] <vook> Brunellus, :)  I'm an old cisco hack.  Just set up the new router as if it were a client to router one.
[06:07] <fivre> I use xfce though :|
[06:07] <SurfnKid> or maybe there is a way to refresh the mouse again after coming from suspend..
[06:07] <Alanya> I just moved home and they have DSL here i downloaded Penguin on the windows machine and tried to install it but it said i need a c++ compiler, how do i get to the repository on a windows machine to d/l it and get it to my linux box?
[06:07] <vook> Brunellus, the default gw on router two is router one.
[06:08] <chris__> whats better kde or gnome
[06:08] <MTecknology> If I use this command, after a clean install of ubuntu, can I untar my archive and have the EXACT same system??
[06:08] <chris__> whos on kde?
[06:08] <MTecknology> tar cvpjf backup.tgz.bz2 / --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/media
[06:08] <fivre> Thunderguy: it is... I need something with a smaller footprint
[06:08] <MTecknology> including wireless and shit
[06:08] <SurfnKid> !language
[06:08] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:08] <Brunellus> vook, this is the first lan-within-a-lan I've ever done.  just to clarify, here's what the net looks like
[06:08] <zammit> harveyfly, nvm thought it might have been ur pc =\ i had problems installing on a really low-end machine - jw =)
[06:08] <Thunderguy> chris__: Kde and Gnome offer exactly the same solutions to the same problems, can't really judge better or worse
[06:09] <zammit> harveyfly, you using the alternate install?
[06:09] <Brunellus> inet>Router1>wireless>ath0 (this host)
[06:09] <harveyfly> yes
[06:09] <Cntryboy> fivre: I don't think that's it, thats the files thats in /usr/lib/xscreensavers.. You get those by rss-glx, by the the default open gl screenys are where?
[06:09] <harveyfly> my laptop has no cdrom
[06:09] <harveyfly> do u use alternative install?
[06:09] <Brunellus> then the next hop I want is:  this host via eth0>router2>wireless>otherhost
[06:09] <Samus_Aran> Thunderguy: use a DVD ?
[06:09] <zammit> yea
[06:09] <Eagle3> question here: I recompiled my kernel using the 2.6.15 ubuntu source package...I'm pretty sure I selected everything I needed, but when ubuntu boots I get no splash screen...the screen is blank until gdm is up...could someone direct me to a document/faq that I could read to find help on this?
[06:09] <chris__> thungerguy they have different desktops by several of things different ....the layout and yah
[06:09] <Thunderguy> chris__: It's only opinion, this is like a Coke or Pepsi scenerio
[06:09] <chris__> L(
[06:09] <zammit> harveyfly, i heard the desktop install has problems
[06:10] <chris__> im on gnome
[06:10] <chris__> :)
[06:10] <SurfnKid> well i gotta get some sleep
[06:10] <fivre> No idea then :(
[06:10] <SurfnKid> cyas
[06:10] <SurfnKid> :)
[06:10] <zammit> harveyfly, you planning on dualbooting w/ xp or something?
[06:10] <Samus_Aran> MTecknology: you forgot mount
[06:10] <harveyfly> yes
[06:10] <Thunderguy> Samus_Aran: I suppose I could, but a lot of my computers only have cd-readers and not dvd's =/
[06:10] <Samus_Aran> MTecknology: er, I mean /dev
[06:10] <DaveyJ> how do you import themes for gcompizthemer?
[06:10] <Cntryboy> thx anyways
[06:10] <harveyfly> zammit, I use syslinux to boot it up
[06:10] <MTecknology> Samus_Aran, I need to exclude that as well?
[06:10] <zammit> harveyfly, ah, i really don't know, sorry to waste ur time
[06:11] <CyDrive> How do i set root password?
[06:11] <iGotNoTime> I am trying to figure out how to install gFTP but everywhere I look it seems to have like 20 different packages. Is there an simpler way that I am missing?
[06:11] <|rt|> CyDrive: sudo passwd
[06:11] <harveyfly> I follow this webpage's intruction, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[06:11] <Samus_Aran> MTecknology: /dev should only have three files in it, the rest are added by udev
[06:11] <CyDrive> oooh yes that is it than you so much
[06:11] <Brunellus> iGotNoTime, sudo apt-get install gFTP
[06:11] <Brunellus> done!
[06:12] <Samus_Aran> MTecknology: I think they are /dev/zero /dev/null and /dev/urandom
[06:12] <iGotNoTime> ok :D
[06:12] <MTecknology> Samus_Aran, Do I need to exclude those, or are they just extra things that take up space?
[06:12] <iGotNoTime> Brunellus, easy stuff :D:D
[06:13] <Samus_Aran> MTecknology: just exclude the /dev dir
[06:13] <Samus_Aran> MTecknology: it should work fine other than that
[06:13] <vook> Brunellus, sorry, hold on...
[06:13] <MTecknology> Samus_Aran, why do I exclude it?
[06:13] <zammit> harv, i'm not sure, going to have to ask some1 else.
[06:14] <Samus_Aran> MTecknology: you're doing a backup script, are you not ?
[06:14] <Samus_Aran> MTecknology: all the files in /dev are created on system bootup by udev, they aren't real files
[06:14] <vook> Brunellus, ah, so you want three routers, I see
[06:15] <MTecknology> Samus_Aran, I'm doing a backup of my whole system so after a reboot I can just untar the archive i'm making and have everything work, including my wireless
[06:15] <Eagle3> can anyone help me figure out why my boot splash screen doesn't come up?
[06:15] <MTecknology> Samus_Aran, is /dev something that will just take up space?
[06:17] <nvez> is there a way to make VLC mozilla plugin "buffer" movies first?
[06:17] <vook> Brunellus, look up the linux router project, and perhaps bastille.  Bastille will set your system up as a router to route to the new router.  Be careful with bastille though, it's a beast.  Read everything.
[06:17] <vook> lrp is  a distro , but will teach you some
[06:17] <fivre> does anyone get this weird thing where xfce opens thunar twice?
[06:17] <WarOfAttrition> bastille is a piece of cake
[06:18] <vook> Bastille is a hardening tool, everything in one tool.  It's incredible.
[06:19] <vook> WarOfAttrition, Agreed.  I adore Bastille, but it taught me to respect it a long time ago ;)
[06:19] <Samus_Aran> MTecknology: /dev is a virtual directory, you should not include it.  it is kernel based devices

[06:22] <knapper> How do I find the C header files?
[06:22] <vook> roostishaw, later you can recreate the symlink if you'd like
[06:22] <fivre> mandeep: amen

[06:23] <mandeep> ya
[06:23] <roostishaw> vook, ok... cool. so ill remove S91apache2. sound right?
[06:23] <Samus_Aran> MTecknology: yes
[06:23] <knapper> How do I find the C header files?
[06:23] <Corporal_Dirge> vlc in dapper doesn't support mkv or mp4 yet.
[06:23] <amit> hi Ash -Fox
[06:23] <amit> ru there?
[06:23] <RadiantFire> knapper: they should be in /usr/include
[06:23] <MTecknology> Samus_Aran, thanks
[06:24] <RadiantFire> or some variation on that path with /include/ in it
[06:24] <Samus_Aran> MTecknology: make sure you don't extract the files on top of the currently running system, use the Live CD and extract onto the mounted partition from there
[06:24] <vook> roostishaw, yep, better yet, move it to directory in home so you can move it back sometime if you'd like
[06:24] <Samus_Aran> MTecknology: otherwise you will have many background apps using files which you have overwritten, could get messy
[06:24] <amit> ASH-FOX* R U there

[06:27] <BHSPitLappy> Corporal_Dirge, in the installer program? or by itself
[06:27] <amit> I have to inter DNS when ever i start my computer. running ubuntu.
[06:27] <GhettoPuNKkiD> amit: are you editing /etc/resolv.conf or what?
[06:27] <knapper> RadiantFire: I'm trying to install vmware player and it complains that the files aren't for my kern ver.
[06:27] <vook> Phoul, sure
[06:27] <RadiantFire> knapper: ah, you seem to need kernel headers
[06:27] <amit> no i haven't edited that
[06:27] <Corporal_Dirge> It was setting up a partition, but stuck there,
[06:27] <BHSPitLappy> !prefix
[06:27] <ubotu> I know nothing about prefix - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:28] <RadiantFire> knapper: install a linux-headers package
[06:28] <GhettoPuNKkiD> amit: sudo /etc/resolv.conf
[06:28] <GhettoPuNKkiD> amit: edit that and you shouldn't have to enter dns everytime
[06:28] <amit> ok
[06:28] <computer13137> Hi
[06:28] <GhettoPuNKkiD> amit: nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[06:28] <BHSPitLappy> Corporal_Dirge, sure it's hung? sometimes it can pause for a looong time... also , that might not be safe to kill, depending on where it's at with your hard drive
[06:28] <computer13137> Just testing my IRC client.  Don't mind me.  :)
[06:28] <GhettoPuNKkiD> amit: where xxx.xxx = your dns

[06:29] <Samus_Aran> anyone know why MPlayer on Ubuntu is not reading my user's TTF which is in ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf ?  does Ubuntu not compile MPlayer with TTF support, or is there something else magical I have to do to enable this ?

[06:31] <ToHellWithGA> do yall know which terminal command i could use to test two files to ensure they're the same (after a big copy operation)
[06:31] <GhettoPuNKkiD> lol
[06:31] <GhettoPuNKkiD> i haven't smoked in awhile ;) 7+ years
[06:31] <nofear> lol
[06:31] <GhettoPuNKkiD> nofear: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_upgrade_from_Hoary_Hedgehog_-.3E_Breezy_Badger_-.3E_Dapper_Drake
[06:31] <ToHellWithGA> lol but seriously i'd like to do this.  do yall know how i can compare two files?
[06:31] <RadiantFire> KaJe: you didn't run out of space on your virtual disk did you?
[06:32] <filemover> yesterday I installed kubuntu without a hitch but ive been having a problem when rebooting I keep getting will not save configuration file messages can someone help thanx

[06:32] <RadiantFire> KaJe: or possibly do something wierd otherwise
[06:32] <GhettoPuNKkiD> yw nofear :)
[06:32] <RadiantFire> cuz it looks like your filesystem is broken in some way

[06:32] <amit> amit@erp-srv:~$ sudo /etc/resolv.conf
[06:32] <ToHellWithGA> filemover: have you checked in #kde ?  they seem to know a lot about kde issues, even in ubuntu
[06:32] <amit> sudo: /etc/resolv.conf: command not found
[06:32] <yipe> doesn't diff do that?
[06:32] <WraithKeeper> hi
[06:32] <filemover> ok
[06:32] <mister_roboto> ToHellWithGA: compare thier "md5sum"s
[06:32] <ToHellWithGA> all yall haters
[06:32] <filemover> ill have a look thx
[06:32] <GhettoPuNKkiD> amit: sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
[06:33] <KaJe> RadiantFire: no my virtual machine is around 4GB and currently only taking up 2GB
[06:33] <GhettoPuNKkiD> (sorry for the mistakes, im tired)
[06:33] <ToHellWithGA> mister_roboto: that's stupid
[06:33] <filemover> but i think it might be a permissions thing but im not sure
[06:33] <WraithKeeper> i use an adsl modem in ubuntu
[06:33] <mister_roboto> ToHellWithGA: in what way?
[06:33] <ToHellWithGA> i have the two files and i need to know that they're identical
[06:33] <mister_roboto> ToHellWithGA: it will tell you if they are the same
[06:33] <RadiantFire> KaJe: you nuked something, seemkngly like the files that contain your init scripts and modules
[06:33] <ToHellWithGA> granted md5s are mostly safe, but if they're different in exactly the right way then the md5 could still check out
[06:33] <KaJe> anyway to easily repair those without a reinstall?
[06:34] <ToHellWithGA> there must be a lower level check than using a hash
[06:34] <mister_roboto> ToHellWithGA:  no shit but you won't find a better way
[06:34] <Just4|Away> anyone know of an easy way to install KQemu under ubuntu?

[06:41] <GhettoPuNKkiD> welcome back amit!
[06:41] <WraithKeeper> i need a program to play mp3 code which can i choose?
[06:41] <GhettoPuNKkiD> WraithKeeper: XMMS
[06:42] <sysKin> WraithKeeper: mp3 code?
[06:42] <WarOfAttrition> roostishaw, yes, use a transparent terminal emulator
[06:42] <Alanya> GhettoPuNKkiD: I dont have internet on that machine, thats why i need the compilers, to compile the PPPoE prog
[06:42] <amit> hey still the same prob?
[06:42] <amit> same prob again?
[06:42] <ToHellWithGA> mister_roboto: the command displays no differences.  why would it matter if they're binaries if it's bit by bit comparing them?
[06:42] <GhettoPuNKkiD> amit: are you using a router with that connection?
[06:42] <mister_roboto> it's not doing a bit by bit comparison
[06:42] <GhettoPuNKkiD> amit: or are you directly plugged in?
[06:42] <sysKin> WraithKeeper: if you mean mp3 files, install all gstreamer plugins (also from world/universe)
[06:42] <WraithKeeper> GHETTOPUNKID but i install the xmms it can't play mp3 file
[06:42] <GhettoPuNKkiD> Alanya: ah
[06:42] <roostishaw> WarOfAttrition, ok... so ill just google for ' transparent terminal emulator" then?
[06:42] <amit> adsl router
[06:43] <GhettoPuNKkiD> WraithKeeper: is your sound card setup correctly?
[06:43] <mister_roboto> ToHellWithGA: it does a line by line compare, otherwise, it just looks at the stat structure
[06:43] <WraithKeeper> yes it's correct
[06:43] <CyDrive> can someone help me get my broadcom bcm43xx wireless card woring?
[06:43] <amit> ADSL ROUTER

[06:43] <WraithKeeper> i install xmms in syaptic
[06:43] <GhettoPuNKkiD> WraithKeeper: does any other applications work with sound?
[06:43] <WraithKeeper> no
[06:43] <GhettoPuNKkiD> WraithKeeper: try fromt the terminal: sudo apt-get install xmms
[06:43] <WarOfAttrition> roostishaw, well in fluxbox I use xfterm4, the xfce terminal

[06:44] <amit> yup
[06:44] <GhettoPuNKkiD> amit: let me think on this, give me a few
[06:44] <roostishaw> WarOfAttrition, and that allows for true transparency, in its own settings?

[06:46] <ubuntu> Hexxenn, are you sure?
[06:46] <Kaervek> I have a question regarding a FAT32 formatted harddrive.
[06:46] <GhettoPuNKkiD> WraithKeeper: okay, your sound card must not be setup right
[06:46] <WraithKeeper> but it can use in another program
[06:46] <WraithKeeper> just like in x-chat
[06:46] <GhettoPuNKkiD> WraithKeeper: playing mp3s?
[06:46] <WraithKeeper> yes.
[06:47] <WraithKeeper> i want to play mp3 files
[06:47] <Hexxenn> i believe you need a codec installed on the system
[06:47] <roostishaw> WarOfAttrition, actually i get 'pacage not found' with apt
[06:47] <Madpilot> journal, if  you're looking for an op for this channel, just ask. There are always a few present.
[06:47] <ubuntu> ok
[06:47] <journal> shut up
[06:47] <WarOfAttrition> roostishaw, not sure if it's available in ubuntu by itself, I've always gotten it along with xfce
[06:47] <Hexxenn> chances are, if it doesn't work out of the box, a codec is needed

[06:47] <keeperofdakeys> how do you read fat32 and ntsc formated disks?
[06:48] <CyDrive> can someone help me with my wireless card?
[06:48] <GhettoPuNKkiD> CyDrive: what kind of wireless card do you have
[06:48] <WraithKeeper> it can work
[06:48] <CyDrive> i have a broadcom
[06:48] <roostishaw> WarOfAttrition, what was the other one besides xfterm4?
[06:48] <Kaervek> I used GParted to format an existing drive (a 500GB drive used for storage) to FAT32, but now I recieve an error: "Unable to read the contents of this filesystem! Because of this, some operations may be unavailable.  Did you install the correct plugin for this filesystem?"
[06:48] <GhettoPuNKkiD> broadcom 4306?
[06:48] <CyDrive> its a bcm43xx
[06:48] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ok
[06:48] <Kaervek> Granted, the format happend extremely quick - is there a better way to go about this?
[06:49] <GhettoPuNKkiD> are you using dapper or what?
[06:49] <CyDrive> im using dapper
[06:49] <keeperofdakeys> 5
[06:49] <GhettoPuNKkiD> CyDrive: try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[06:49] <Just4> keeperofdakeys: try this tutorial http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows.php
[06:49] <WraithKeeper> ghettopunkid how can i do?
[06:49] <WarOfAttrition> roostishaw, the terminal that comes with gnome should do it also, that's in ubuntu
[06:50] <GhettoPuNKkiD> WraithKeeper: did you type dmesg at your terminal?
[06:50] <Alanya> can someone PLEASE give me a link to the  c++ compilers so i can download from windows?
[06:50] <CyDrive> yeah ive seen that but  dont get this command sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware <downloaded file>
[06:50] <GhettoPuNKkiD> WraithKeeper: look for a Multimedia controller
[06:50] <WraithKeeper> give me an advise ok?
[06:50] <roostishaw> WarOfAttrition, but thats not "real" transparency... u know?
[06:50] <WraithKeeper> ok
[06:50] <GhettoPuNKkiD> CyDrive: did your install fwcuuter?
[06:50] <GhettoPuNKkiD> cuuter

[06:51] <WarOfAttrition> roostishaw, If you're talking about the composite extention I don't know
[06:51] <WraithKeeper> what shoud i need do?

[06:52] <WraithKeeper> i did
[06:52] <GhettoPuNKkiD> WraithKeeper: look for something related to Multimedia controller
[06:52] <WraithKeeper> it display some infomation about my machine

[06:54] <tag> anyone know of a poor-mans nfs over ssh type of getup?
[06:55] <wheels3572> I am VERY confused on a few things.  I just removed kpdf cuz I am using Adobe and it said it wanted to remove kubuntu-desktop but I was able to get into KDE session
[06:55] <sysKin> jesus I knew I'd regret ever touching linux, but I didn't think I'd regret it at *this* stage...
[06:55] <tag> I'm looking for a filesystem driver so I can mount a directory over ssh
[06:55] <sysKin> part I'm outta here... too pissed off right now
[06:55] <Alanya> Hexxenn: yeah it just said to go to apt....etc....but i need the compilers to *get* internet
[06:55] <nevyn> tag: lufs can do it.
[06:56] <WraithKeeper> chetto
[06:56] <WraithKeeper> tell me wat should do
[06:56] <nevyn> kde can do remote file browsing over ssh using konqueror
[06:56] <tag> so can nautilus
[06:56] <tag> but that's not what I want
[06:56] <brimstone> my usb keyboard produces double letters in the ubuntu netinst, ideas on how to fix this?
[06:56] <jyoungxx> Why am I getting a blank page when logging into the Administrator part of the CUPS web applet?
[06:56] <Hexxenn> Alanya: yeah i'm on dialup and downloading packages and their dependencies on another computer w/ broadband is a pain
[06:56] <paied> you guys overflowed my buffer, why is syskin so pissed?
[06:57] <nevyn> Hexxenn: there are tools to do this
[06:57] <GhettoPuNKkiD> jyoungxx: its disabled perhaps
[06:57] <Hexxenn> nevyn: do tell!
[06:57] <Madpilot> wheels3572, kubuntu-desktop actually isn't an important package, despite the name
[06:57] <CyDrive> yes im sorry im still stuc do i use this command after i download wl_apsta.o? sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta.o
[06:57] <nevyn> does the "Other computer" run some form of linux?
[06:58] <kaervek> I am unable to mount a disk I just formatted to Fat32.  What options do I have to get this working?
[06:58] <WraithKeeper> so bad
[06:58] <Hexxenn> nevyn: unfortunately, no. windows xp :/
[06:58] <kaervek> The note mentions something about a plugin for the filesystem.
[06:58] <nevyn> Hexxenn: there's apt-walkabout if the other computer runs linux
[06:58] <nevyn> Hexxenn: and there's the offline apt guiide if you're using windows but it requires more round trips
[06:58] <tag> hurm
[06:59] <GhettoPuNKkiD> CyDrive: try sudo /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh
[06:59] <Hexxenn> nevyn: offline apt guide?
[06:59] <nevyn> because you need to get the packages list and then process it on the not connected system
[06:59] <nevyn> Hexxenn: it's covered in the debian user guide but should apply equally well to ubuntu
[07:00] <CyDrive> Than you so much it works like a charm my machine is woring fine than you alot i appreciate your help
[07:01] <jiff> any advantage of ubuntu over suse?
[07:01] <GhettoPuNKkiD> CyDrive: okay, you're welcome, glad you got it worknig

[07:03] <Madpilot> wjehouna, quit the spam, thanks
[07:03] <rob138> can anyone help me fix my firefox sound problem?
[07:03] <Phoul> Shak-, you could partition
[07:03] <rob138> i have tried solutions on the wiki and forums and nothing works.
[07:03] <tag> wow it works
[07:03] <WraithKeeper> i want to change my environment to enlish languae what can i do?
[07:04] <kaervek> watson541, I want to store files on it from both Linux and XP.  Videos, music, etc.
[07:04] <Corporal_Dirge> ubuntu, ou could always create your own live cd with the required codecs, but it's not easy.
[07:04] <WraithKeeper> i want to change my environment to enlish languae what can i do?
[07:04] <Shak-> Phoul: partition my internal HDD you mean?
[07:04] <Phoul> umm
[07:04] <Phoul> yes
[07:04] <watson541> thats not what i asked kaervek
[07:04] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: you need to log out , and when you get to the GDM login screen I think there's an option to change your gnome session language
[07:04] <kaervek> watson541, Don't I need to mount it for that?
[07:04] <Hexxenn> nevyn: what's the URL for the offline apt-get stuff?
[07:04] <Shak-> Phoul: hmm, so how would I go about switching between Windows and Ubuntu?
[07:04] <kaervek> watson541, It shows up in my file browser.
[07:05] <Phoul> Shak-, ubuntu comes with the "grub" boot loader
[07:05] <aeolus> !grub
[07:05] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:05] <kaervek> watson541, but when I try to access it, it says it's unable to mount.
[07:05] <Phoul> When you start your computer it will say "windows" "linux"
[07:05] <Phoul> Kinda
[07:05] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: you should check first if you have the english language files installed
[07:05] <nevyn> Hexxenn: http://www.fifi.org/doc/apt/offline.html/index.html
[07:05] <kaervek> watson541, "error: device /dev/sdd1 is not removable
[07:05] <kaervek> error: could not execute pmount"
[07:05] <Lynoure> Shak-: there are ways of installing Linux on a usb drive, even on a usb stick, but I'm not sure how easy that is to do with ubuntu
[07:05] <rob138> everytime i try a flash video site like video.google or homestarrunner, it'll run for about 2 seconds then crash. can anyone help?
[07:05] <Phoul> But its simple and it sets itself up on the install iirc
[07:05] <Corporal_Dirge> Ah, that reminds me. How do I edit grub? I have double entries for Ubuntu.
[07:05] <wheels3572> Madpilot:  I was gonna uninstall some games or the games itself and it said it wanted to remove the unbuntu desktop as well
[07:05] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: System >> Administration >> Language Support
[07:05] <Phoul> Corporal_Dirge, do you have double entrys or diffrent kernels
[07:06] <wheels3572> what is it with removing desktops
[07:06] <Hexxenn> nevyn: thank you
[07:06] <Shak-> Phoul: so how big a partition would this require
[07:06] <Corporal_Dirge> Same kernel
[07:06] <WraithKeeper> thank rpedro
[07:06] <kaervek> Corporal_Dirge, gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:06] <Madpilot> wheels3572, ubuntu-desktop package doesn't really matter, except that you'll need to re-install it when it's time to upgrade
[07:06] <Corporal_Dirge> thanks
[07:06] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: np
[07:06] <Phoul> Shak-, im not sure im running windows and ubuntu on a 80 gig
[07:06] <kaervek> watson541, did that make any sense?
[07:06] <Shak-> oh, so you have it done already
[07:06] <jiff> how much room does a ubuntu partition need
[07:06] <aeolus> Shak- and Phoul: GRUB replaces the Windows boot loader
[07:06] <Madpilot> Shak-, Ubuntu needs at least 3Gb to install, 5Gb+ would be better
[07:07] <WraithKeeper> rpedro how can i check if i have install english language files>
[07:07] <Phoul> aeolus, i knew that already lol
[07:07] <aeolus> Oops
[07:07] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: System >> Administration >> Language Support , and verify if 'English' is checked. if not, check it , and hit 'Apply'
[07:07] <Shak-> so I would have to use GRUB to boot into windows as well then?
[07:07] <ic56> need licq CLI help.  Starts up but every attempt to send a message results in error.  How do I find out if it's connected to a server?
[07:07] <richiefrich> !mp3
[07:07] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[07:08] <aeolus> Shak-: Yes. GRUB can bot Windows.
[07:08] <aeolus> *boot
[07:08] <Lynoure> Shak-: not "have to" when you start your computer, a menu will appear. it's simple, and easy, really
[07:08] <Corporal_Dirge> kaervek, oops, looks lik they were diff kernels. 23 vs. 26
[07:08] <WraithKeeper> thanks rpedro
[07:08] <wheels3572> Madpilot:  Is that the same for all desktops?  So it would be safe to remove games and have it remove ubuntu-desktop without screwing up Ubuntu itself
[07:08] <kaervek> Corporal_Dirge, You can remove the 23 from the list. I had the same issue.
[07:08] <Shak-> hmm, is there a guide anywhere on how to do this?
[07:08] <Madpilot> wheels3572, yes. There are also kubuntu-desktop & xubuntu-desktop packages, if you're running Kubuntu or Xubuntu
[07:08] <brimstone> when i push down keys on my usb keyboard after grub, it gives me double keys, does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
[07:08] <Shak-> like, step by step, I dont want to trash anything
[07:09] <aeolus> Shak-: What version Windows?
[07:09] <Madpilot> Shak-, have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WindowsDualBootHowTo
[07:09] <WraithKeeper> but in my system -administration-have no option named language support
[07:09] <Corporal_Dirge> kaervek, thanks. 23 stopped working and I did a reinstall.
[07:09] <Shak-> aeolus: XP Home SP2
[07:09] <WraithKeeper> can i use command to call it out?
[07:09] <abdul> can someone show how to get videos to workon live cd?
[07:10] <WarOfAttrition> just try it, if it fails then windows was unfit to survive
[07:10] <WarOfAttrition> newton's law
[07:10] <aeolus> Can Ubuntu setup resize an NTFS partition?
[07:10] <WarOfAttrition> I mean darwin
[07:10] <WraithKeeper> repdro
[07:10] <JamesRasmussen> thank god
[07:10] <Corporal_Dirge> abdul, the live cd doesn't have a lot of apps or codecs, you'll have to either make a live cd or find another media friendly distro.
[07:11] <Shak-> "Although the Ubuntu installer does now include support for resizing NTFS partitions, it is not 100% effective"
[07:11] <abdul> Corporal_Dirge, ok i see
[07:11] <JamesRasmussen> where can i get help?
[07:11] <aeolus> oh
[07:11] <vinboy> what is sun jdk's package name?? i can't find it
[07:11] <Lathiat> sun-java5-jdk
[07:12] <wheels3572> Madpilot:  I am running all 3 I have switched between Sessions alot trying to figure out what I like for a desktop lol
[07:12] <vinboy> thx
[07:12] <Shak-> aeolus: hmm, no write-access to NTFS partitions? that means I cant save anything basically?
[07:12] <Madpilot> wheels3572, cool, I run Ubuntu myself, but I like Xubuntu too - not such a KDE fan, though
[07:12] <keeperofdakeys> i tired to get ubuntu to read my ntsc and fat32 disks, someone sent me to a page about it but it didn't work
[07:12] <JamesRasmussen> I need help i've already tried to read the website and i am stuck
[07:12] <matti> Shak-: Well, not exactly.
[07:12] <Madpilot> Shak-, pretty much - you can set up a fat32 partition to be shared between Win & Linux, though
[07:13] <matti> Shak-: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=23836054&forum_id=2697
[07:13] <GhettoPuNKkiD> keeperofdakeys: www.linux-ntfs.net
[07:13] <GhettoPuNKkiD> or .org
[07:13] <GhettoPuNKkiD> one of the two
[07:13] <matti> Madpilot: This is not the only solution.
[07:13] <aeolus> Shak-: I heard about this new driver called "ntfs-3g" that will allow direct writes to NTFS but I don't knwo much about it
[07:13] <keeperofdakeys> ok
[07:13] <Madpilot> JamesRasmussen, just start asking questions, people will help if they can
[07:13] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: what language is you Gnome interface using right now?
[07:13] <amit> got any sollution?
[07:13] <filemover> i fixed it
[07:13] <matti> aeolus: "ntfs-3g" works very well.
[07:13] <JamesRasmussen> When I boot into ubuntu I hear what i think is the boot sound but i get a blank screen and my monitor goes into power off mode I think what i need to do is install the fglvx drive for ATi
[07:13] <wheels3572> Madpilot: are you an op in here?
[07:14] <WraithKeeper> can chinese
[07:14] <WraithKeeper> chinese
[07:14] <WraithKeeper> i use chinese
[07:14] <Madpilot> wheels3572, I am, actually
[07:14] <Shak-> matti: so I install that driver after installing Ubuntu?
[07:14] <WraithKeeper> but some software all display disorderly code
[07:14] <wheels3572> Madpilot:  Ok I was gonna ask to pm you but your an op so I think that's outta the question lol
[07:14] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: It's probably named different depending on which language, it should be a menu item that as a icon with two flags
[07:14] <WraithKeeper> i boring
[07:14] <Shak-> ahh, I have to mount each time
[07:14] <Madpilot> wheels3572, go ahead - thanks for asking first
[07:14] <amit> got any sol?
[07:15] <wheels3572> Madpilot:  Oh ok thanks :)
[07:15] <matti> Shak-: Yep, you can, but this is very fresh thing, and might not be in any repository yet.
[07:15] <matti> Shak-: But, you can look at linux-ntfs maybe.
[07:15] <rob138> Hi, i keep getting a "bus error" in firefox which crashes it, i have noticed it from pressing the adblock button as well as trying to get into a certain site, what is causing this?
[07:15] <WraithKeeper> i can't find this icon
[07:15] <WraithKeeper> rpedro should i call it out in terminal?
[07:16] <JamesRasmussen> is the ATi X800XL supported by ubuntu?
[07:16] <matti> rob138: Looks like hardware issue, but also problem with wrong drivers can produce this error.
[07:16] <rob138> matti, it hadn't been a problem before, but i had tried tweaking firefox to get sound working.
[07:16] <matti> rob138: Since, the "Bus error" is not very detailed... it is hard to say, what is exactly wrong.
[07:17] <matti> rob138: So, maybe some driver issues?
[07:17] <rob138> matti, "Bus error" is all that is in the terminal after crash,  what drivers do you think that may be?
[07:17] <matti> rob138: For example: simultaneously writing to sound device may cause this... hmm...
[07:17] <matti> rob138: If you disable all tweaks you made, then it is working?
[07:18] <matti> rob138: Also, look in dmesg.
[07:18] <matti> rob138: Look in /var/log/{*,messages}.
[07:18] <tomlikestorock> can anyone tell me why I keep getting this error when I try to compile a program?
[07:18] <filemover> well i just made my first ap using kdevelop
[07:18] <tomlikestorock> ./shadowofthebeast: error while loading shared libraries: libclanApp-0.8.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[07:19] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: sudo gnome-language-selector

[07:19] <tomlikestorock> I've installed clanLib, btw
[07:19] <WraithKeeper> thanks rpedro ,you are nice
[07:19] <matti> rob138: Oh.
[07:19] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: np lol ;-)
[07:19] <JamesRasmussen> can anyone help me I really need it I already asked my question but I have yet to get a reply back
[07:20] <matti> rob138: Looks like some memory issues/problems with PCIE bus.
[07:20] <WraithKeeper> sry this command not exist in my system
[07:20] <matti> rob138: This may cause the "Bus error".
[07:20] <WraithKeeper> how can i install it?
[07:20] <rob138> matti, is that something i could even possibly fix?
[07:20] <matti> rob138: This require some googling...
[07:21] <Madpilot> JamesRasmussen, I think the newer ATI cards would work - I've got an older ATI 9600XT, it works nicely
[07:21] <matti> rob138: Since, I don't seen this error myself before.
[07:21] <tomlikestorock> I don't understand why I keep getting this error, I've installed clanlib and everything
[07:21] <matti> rob138: BTW, only FF craches?
[07:21] <rob138> matti, right. these kind of errors are way over my head
[07:21] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: you sure you're using ubuntu? which version (Dapper, Brezzy) ?
[07:21] <JamesRasmussen> okay can anyone tell me how i can get to the sudo thing again when i first tried to install ubuntu it gave me an error and led me to that now that i looked at the site it gave me a command to install the ristricted drivers or something the command is "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" than select fglrx
[07:21] <rob138> matti, yeah
[07:21] <matti> rob138: Try some other application, that will use some multimedia devices - sound or graphics maybe.
[07:22] <WraithKeeper> version 5.4
[07:22] <WraithKeeper> i'm sure
[07:22] <JamesRasmussen> madpilot - that it would seem but I am getting a black screen and I think what i am hearing is the boot sound
[07:22] <corsachriz> moin zusammen
[07:22] <rob138> matti, i've got amarok blaring right now w/o problems : )
[07:22] <corsachriz> was gaytn
[07:22] <corsachriz> ?#
[07:22] <matti> rob138: Hmhmh.
[07:22] <WraithKeeper> it's the ubuntu for hp notebook type.
[07:22] <rob138> matti, and i have tried firefox sound stuff w/o other programs using esd or sound or whatever
[07:22] <WraithKeeper> i download from the ubuntu website.
[07:22] <Eagle3> if I compile a custom kernel in ubuntu, how do I get the boot splash to work with it?
[07:23] <UKMatt> does anyone use VMware server?
[07:23] <vinboy> how do I enter key to use by the apt?
[07:23] <WraithKeeper> offical website.
[07:23] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: that is a pretty old version, no longer supported I think , you really should upgrade to Dapper as it wi
[07:23] <matti> rob138: Google says, that some people also have such problem.
[07:23] <rob138> matti, the bus error problem?
[07:23] <Madpilot> JamesRasmussen, not sure what to suggest - check ubuntuforums.org, for starters
[07:23] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: *as it will have support for 3 years on desktop
[07:23] <matti> rob138: But, it is very rare and caused by some evil dark forces.
[07:23] <UKMatt> vmware anyone?
[07:23] <matti> rob138: Not, the fglrx one.
[07:24] <matti> rob138: "Bus error" is too common to google it.
[07:24] <penguinwhoflew> grub f*cked up, anyone care to help me reinstall it?
[07:24] <WraithKeeper> how can i upgrade?
[07:24] <pjfc> has any one been able to get wine to work in a 64-bit AMD installation?
[07:24] <WraithKeeper> i afraid my notebook can be supported in new version.
[07:24] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: anyway, just try logging out of Gnome, it is probable english language support will have been installed by default
[07:24] <matti> rob138: You'll find tons and tons of different problems releated to this particular error.
[07:24] <rpedro> !upgrade
[07:24] <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.
[07:25] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: ^^
[07:25] <JamesRasmussen> madpilot - I really would like to get this working tonight I already had to download irc and connect to freenode i figured the irc channel would give me better support.
[07:25] <WraithKeeper> Welcome to Ubuntu Linux 5.04: The Hoary Hedgehog Release
[07:25] <rob138> matti, looks like i'm sol, do you think that removing ubuntu firefox and installing mozilla firefox could maybe alleviate some configuration problems as well as being a slightly newer version?
[07:25] <penguinwhoflew> can ANYONE help me reinstall/configure grub? I can no longer boot to anything but a livecd!
[07:25] <WraithKeeper> it's my version now use
[07:25] <Shak-> so how do you go about installing drivers, video cards, that sort of stuff on ubuntu?
[07:25] <WraithKeeper> it's old?
[07:25] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, 5.04 is two versions old now
[07:25] <WraithKeeper> i find it adopt my compaq nc60000
[07:25] <matti> rob138: What is sol? :)
[07:26] <WraithKeeper> in the offical website
[07:26] <rob138> matti, shit outta luck
[07:26] <rob138> : )
[07:26] <WraithKeeper> i afraid other version can't support my notebook
[07:26] <Madpilot> o-0, any reason you're nickspamming?
[07:26] <jiff> anyone able to navigate egghead on amazon
[07:26] <jiff> its fucking retarded
[07:26] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, notebook support has gotten better and better in newer versions of Ubuntu
[07:27] <matti> rob138: Wait a moment...
[07:27] <rob138> matti, alright
[07:27] <WarOfAttrition> so much so that my next system will be my first new laptop
[07:28] <WraithKeeper> how can i upgrade my version?
[07:28] <JamesRasmussen> okay since no one can answer my first question how can i install the fglrx driver? to make it simple someone must be able to help me with this question
[07:28] <Madpilot> JamesRasmussen, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:29] <someothernick> !ati
[07:29] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:29] <someothernick> opps
[07:29] <someothernick> late :/
[07:29] <matti> rob138: I see.
[07:29] <tomlikestorock> can anyone help me with my compile error?
[07:29] <WraithKeeper> madpilot
[07:29] <WraithKeeper> how can i upgrade my version?
[07:29] <JamesRasmussen> madpilot - i've seen this but how do i get to type in this sudo stuff
[07:29] <matti> rob138: Try to disable the FIREFOX_DSP - i presume, that you setup this to your sound device, right?
[07:30] <Madpilot> JamesRasmussen, in a terminal - Applications->Accessories->Terminal
[07:30] <matti> rob138: It seems, that there's a bug in FF some sort.
[07:30] <JamesRasmussen> madpilot - when i first tried it said gave me an error and brought me to sudo
[07:30] <GhettoPuNKkiD> okay, who needs help?
[07:30] <JamesRasmussen> madpilot - how do i get to the terminal
[07:30] <rob138> matti, you mean setting it to "none"
[07:30] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, upgrading two versions is hard - you might be better off to download the newest version & reinstall
[07:30] <JamesRasmussen> madpilot - isn't that in the os?
[07:30] <someothernick> tomlikestorock: whats the error?
[07:30] <matti> rob138: You can also try to upgrade FF if any upgrade is available.
[07:30] <matti> rob138: Yes, none :)
[07:31] <WraithKeeper> what's mean two versions?
[07:31] <tomlikestorock> ./shadowofthebeast: error while loading shared libraries: libclanApp-0.8.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[07:31] <WraithKeeper> i use one version
[07:31] <Madpilot> JamesRasmussen, if all you get is a text prompt when you start Ubuntu, just start typing there
[07:31] <tomlikestorock> even though I have clanLib installed
[07:31] <WraithKeeper> call 5.04
[07:31] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, you can't go from 5.04 straight to 6.06 (the newest version), you'd have to upgrade to 5.10 first
[07:31] <ardchoille> tich: How did you get nautilus to work?
[07:31] <rob138> matti, i set it back to none, and i am still gettin this bus error, i think it might have been the configuring i just did by doing automatix, to try to reinstall flash,
[07:31] <JamesRasmussen> madpilot - I think i got to the text prompt when i first installed but now it's not bringing me there and rather just putting my monitor to sleep mode from there i have to restart
[07:31] <tomlikestorock> someothernick: what do you think?
[07:32] <CarlFK> what is the name of the java plugin for Firefox package?
[07:32] <matti> rob138: OK.
[07:32] <Madpilot> rob, automatix is bad news - stay away from it unless you like having a broken system
[07:32] <JamesRasmussen> madpilot - I sent you a pm can i talk to you from there instead of chat or is that a big no no?
[07:32] <rob138> looks like i just broke my system
[07:32] <Madpilot> JamesRasmussen, you need to be registered on Freenode to PM
[07:33] <rob138> how do i completely remove firefox/mozilla and reinstall it freshly?
[07:33] <brimstone> when i push down keys on my usb keyboard after grub, it gives me double keys, does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
[07:33] <corsachriz> ps2 keyboard?
[07:33] <WraithKeeper> thanx madpilot
[07:33] <GhettoPuNKkiD> !java
[07:33] <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
[07:33] <GhettoPuNKkiD> CarlFK ^^
[07:33] <brimstone> corsachriz, the computer is usb only
[07:33] <WraithKeeper> if i try two upgrade for 5.04 to 6.06 no way?
[07:34] <Madpilot> JamesRasmussen, http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[07:34] <corsachriz> mhh brimstone, no idea
[07:34] <corsachriz> only in grub?
[07:34] <JamesRasmussen> madpilot - can you pm me than or is that the same?
[07:34] <CarlFK> thanks GhettoPuNKkiD
[07:34] <Madpilot> JamesRasmussen, same, from your end
[07:34] <WraithKeeper> modpilot i have 5.10version cdrom
[07:34] <GhettoPuNKkiD> CarlFK: you're welcome
[07:34] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, you could upgrade from 5.04->5.10->6.06 - you can't skip versions
[07:34] <WraithKeeper> but i don't have 6.06 version cdrom
[07:34] <brimstone> grub is ok, pxelinux is ok, it's after some kernel module loads then the keyboard goes double corsachriz
[07:34] <ardchoille> !upgrade > WraithKeeper
[07:35] <corsachriz> mhh sry brimstone, realy no idea
[07:35] <WraithKeeper> first i upgrade 5.04 to 5.10 and second from 5.10 to 6.06 right?
[07:35] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, that's right
[07:35] <tomlikestorock> someothernick: no idea, eh?
[07:35] <WraithKeeper> have risk?
[07:35] <Drasla> anyone know what program I can use to regularly check a pop3 or imap account, and download messages to a local Maildir?
[07:36] <pjfc> has anyone gotten wine to run under 64-bit?
[07:36] <WarOfAttrition> there's a small risk of scurvy
[07:36] <IseeIsee> what would be the differene between a ubuntu-minimal and xubuntu ?
[07:37] <WraithKeeper> madpilot if i upgrade two version have some risk?
[07:37] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, yes, there's some risk with upgrades, there always is
[07:38] <someothernick> tomlikestorock: you probably need libclanApp-0.8.so. but i would ask someone else first
[07:38] <tomlikestorock> someothernick: that's the thing. I got it, I just don't know how to tell g++ I got it
[07:38] <fangorious> having trouble running mythfilldatabase (0.18 from the dapper repos) am told there's a SQL syntax error
[07:38] <WraithKeeper> so terrible
[07:38] <GhettoPuNKkiD> woosp
[07:38] <GhettoPuNKkiD> :d
[07:39] <WraithKeeper> if i reinstall ubuntu i will lost my data store in my disk?
[07:40] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, did you use seperate partitions on your harddisk when you installed ubuntu?
[07:40] <ardchoille> WraithKeeper: I would recommend making backups of any data you don't want to lose
[07:40] <tomlikestorock> someothernick: I figured it out. Had to copy everything from /usr/local/lib to /usr/lib
[07:40] <tomlikestorock> someothernick: Thanks, anyways :)
[07:41] <someothernick> tomlikestorock:  :)
[07:41] <WraithKeeper> no i use double system
[07:41] <El_Brujo> hey a good bittorrent client for linux?

[07:43] <WraithKeeper> someone use ubuntu in hp notebook?
[07:43] <BHSPitLappy> !anyone
[07:43] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:43] <WraithKeeper> i want to know how to shutdown the wireless light?
[07:44] <isede> how do i ebable screensaver on kubuntu?
[07:44] <WraithKeeper> so trouble things broing me.
[07:44] <isede> enable
[07:44] <skorm>  !root skorm
[07:45] <skorm> !root skorm
[07:45] <ubotu> I know nothing about root skorm - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:45] <ardchoille> !root > skorm
[07:45] <skorm> xD
[07:45] <ardchoille> :)
[07:45] <skorm> that bot pwns xD
[07:45] <ardchoille> Yeah, ubotu is pretty cool
[07:46] <shinobi2> I just installed the ubuntu server.  But I don't have a gnome desktop.
[07:46] <skorm> your problem shinobi2?
[07:46] <BHSPitLappy> shinobi2, well duh, a server install doesn't have a gui
[07:46] <skorm> xD
[07:46] <BHSPitLappy> the "Desktop" CD installs a "Desktop"
[07:46] <ardchoille> shinobi2: desktops are over-rated.. you can do almost anything in a console anyway
[07:46] <shinobi2> BHSPitLappy, ah.... i should ave gotten the 'desktop' instead
[07:46] <skorm> sudo apt-ge install ubuntu-desktop
[07:46] <skorm> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[07:46] <BHSPitLappy> ^^^^^^^^^^^
[07:46] <skorm> i think
[07:47] <BHSPitLappy> yeah.
[07:47] <ardchoille> yep
[07:47] <corsachriz> ^^
[07:47] <skorm> ^^^
[07:47] <BHSPitLappy> shinobi2, that will go online and make it a Desktop installation.
[07:47] <shinobi2> skorm, it did not prompt me for root password during installation.
[07:47] <skorm> never does
[07:47] <BHSPitLappy> it shouldn't
[07:47] <skorm> just enter your password
[07:47] <BHSPitLappy> use your password
[07:47] <skorm> lol
[07:48] <BHSPitLappy> it's all sudo-based
[07:48] <dooglus> is there any way to get rid of the openoffice.org splash screen?
[07:48] <BHSPitLappy> root is disabled, to you
[07:48] <shinobi2> BHSPitLappy, my user password?  but i will need a root password right? most linux have a root password
[07:48] <BHSPitLappy> dooglus, ask #openoffice or whatever their channel is
[07:48] <skorm> not ubuntu
[07:48] <ardchoille> !sudo > shinobi2
[07:48] <BHSPitLappy> shinobi2, your user's password.
[07:48] <BHSPitLappy> Ubuntu disables the root user by default. (To you, anyway.)
[07:49] <BHSPitLappy> and you do root tasks using "sudo <command>"
[07:49] <ardchoille> BHSPitLappy: and I think that is a good thing
[07:49] <Corporal_Dirge> shinobi2, Ubuntu has no root user until one is set up. Not having one removes a security risks.
[07:49] <GhettoPuNKkiD> shinobi2: sudo -i
[07:49] <JamesRasmussen> where do i enter sudo codes/commands I guess?
[07:49] <BHSPitLappy> ardchoille, when did I say otherwise?
[07:49] <GhettoPuNKkiD> shinobi2: gets you root
[07:49] <someothernick> terminal
[07:49] <fivre> JamesRasmussen: console
[07:50] <JamesRasmussen> how do i get to the terminal/console?
[07:50] <WraithKeeper> modpilot i decide to upgrade my version from 5.04 to 6.06
[07:50] <WraithKeeper> what should i do?
[07:50] <GhettoPuNKkiD> JamesRasmussen: Applications, Accessories, Terminal
[07:50] <JamesRasmussen> keep in mind I am trying to install the drivers for my video card so i can see the desktop
[07:50] <fivre> JamesRasmussen: it should be in the menu somewhere
[07:50] <dooglus> Corporal_Dirge: ubuntu always has a root user.  the password is locked by default, but the user always exists.
[07:50] <El_Brujo> were i found bitcomet 4 linux?
[07:50] <JamesRasmussen> so i can't do it from the os itself
[07:50] <Corporal_Dirge> But it's not accesable.
[07:51] <someothernick> sudo apt-get install bitcomet
[07:51] <ardchoille> JamesRasmussen: You can ALT+F2, type in gnome-terminal and go to work :)
[07:51] <JamesRasmussen> where do i type ALT+F2?
[07:51] <Corporal_Dirge> It's actually got a randomly set password too. lol
[07:51] <skorm> JamesRasmussen: you don't type it
[07:51] <JamesRasmussen> i mean press
[07:51] <JamesRasmussen> lol
[07:51] <JamesRasmussen> my bad
[07:51] <skorm> JamesRasmussen: you press it xD
[07:51] <fivre> JamesRasmussen: on the keyboard...
[07:52] <fivre> speaking of terminals
[07:52] <BHSPitLappy> he needs to do CTRL+ALT+F2 when he's inside of X, right?
[07:52] <colk> root has to exist it breaks stuff if their isnt a 0 account
[07:52] <vinboy> how do I remove orphan packages using deborphan?
[07:52] <colk> Alt + F2 will bring up run
[07:53] <BHSPitLappy> colk, the account exists. you just can't use it.
[07:53] <BHSPitLappy> :D
[07:53] <ardchoille> BHSPitLappy: no, ALT+F2 will get the run dialog
[07:53] <fivre> is there any way to copy from rxvt in xfce?
[07:53] <shinobi2> does the server comes with some sort of chat? like terminal-form of xchat?
[07:53] <El_Brujo> sudo apt-get install bitcomet
[07:53] <El_Brujo> nop the pakage dosn't exist
[07:53] <BHSPitLappy> ohh, understood
[07:53] <Corporal_Dirge> grrr, aliases dn't seem to be working right. I put alias ll='ls -l' into my .bash_profile, but even after reboot it's not there.
[07:53] <fivre> shinobi2: irssi
[07:53] <fivre> much better than Xchat
[07:53] <JamesRasmussen> well where do i press the CTRL+ALT+F2?
[07:53] <BHSPitLappy> pssh, no way
[07:53] <BHSPitLappy> JamesRasmussen, ignore the CRTL, I was wrong
[07:54] <fivre> yes way
[07:54] <skavenge> Corporal_Dirge: just do the alias command at the bash prompt, mine stays after boot
[07:54] <fivre> Xchat is :(
[07:54] <shinobi2> fiveiron,  so, sudo apt-get install irssi ?
[07:54] <fivre> yes
[07:54] <random> I deleted /etc/apache2 to kill off all the config files though when trying to reinstall it via aptitude/apt-get/dpkg I can't get any of them to repopulate that folder
[07:54] <regress> hey all, I'm trying to instal 6.06 off of a cd iso I downloaded and burned on my dell optiplex gx270, but it seems to freeze at the splash screen after playing the little bit of music
[07:54] <BHSPitLappy> JamesRasmussen, just push ALT+F2 right now. and type gnome-terminal in the box that appears
[07:54] <fivre> if it's not installed by default
[07:54] <Corporal_Dirge> mine doesn't even after just closing the terminal. it all vanishes
[07:54] <skorm> err. you need to add a package list thingy to install irssi i thought
[07:54] <shinobi2> the ubuntuu.server.iso comes with very limited programs, i have to installed all later on.
[07:54] <regress> is there some way to find out a more detailed point at which it crashes?
[07:55] <random> regress I suggest if you wish to install ubuntu 6.06 that you download the -alternative iso and try again (it should not crash)
[07:55] <JamesRasmussen> BHSPitLappy - okay now that I have the CTRL-ALT-F2 part down where do i put the driver that i downloaded from windows?
[07:55] <regress> alright, give it a try
[07:55] <shinobi2> all all the packages in the ubuntu.server.iso installed on my computer now? i just follow the default.
[07:55] <dooglus> Corporal_Dirge: .bash_profile isn't used unless you're running a login shell.
[07:55] <random> :)
[07:56] <skorm> JamesRasmussen: what exactly are you trying to do?
[07:56] <dooglus> Corporal_Dirge: you should put alias definitions somewhere where every bash shell will see them.  like ~/.bashrc
[07:56] <WraithKeeper> modpilot i decide to upgrade my version from 5.04 to 6.06,what should i do first?
[07:56] <isede> how do i enable screensaver?
[07:56] <someothernick> El_Brujo: sorry it was bittornado i was thinking of
[07:56] <Corporal_Dirge> how about .bash_aliases somone said that's what you use.
[07:56] <skorm> isede: gnome or kde?
[07:56] <isede> kde
[07:56] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, first, upgrade from 5.04 to 5.10
[07:56] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell WraithKeeper about upgrade
[07:56] <caturOK> help me about dns plz
[07:56] <WraithKeeper> yes
[07:56] <skorm> isede: kcontrol, then customise by memory
[07:57] <BHSPitLappy> JamesRasmussen, I don't even know what you're doing... this channel makes my head hurt
[07:57] <dooglus> Corporal_Dirge: if you source .bash_aliases from .bashrc, then that's OK.  depends if you want to open an extra file each time you start a shell I guess
[07:57] <WraithKeeper> thans
[07:57] <BHSPitLappy> I have to get to bed, night all
[07:57] <WraithKeeper> ubotu are you here
[07:57] <ubotu> I know nothing about are you here - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:57] <skavenge> isede: right click on the desktop, 'configure desktop'
[07:57] <WraithKeeper> tell me something about upgrade
[07:57] <skavenge> !upgrade
[07:57] <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.
[07:57] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, the bot should have sent you a PM
[07:57] <ardchoille> Corporal_Dirge: You can put your aliases in ~/.bashrc or in ~/.bash_aliases. But, if you put them in ~/.bash_aliases, you have to go into ~/.bashrc and uncomment the bash_aliases line
[07:58] <skorm> Man, this channel is all work and no play
[07:58] <isede> skavenge: it worked
[07:58] <isede> skorm: thank you
[07:58] <WraithKeeper> what's means of PM
[07:58] <colk> skorm, it is a help channel
[07:58] <Corporal_Dirge> ardchoille, ok, thanks.
[07:58] <skorm> isede: I havn't used kde in years, so i had no idea where it was
[07:58] <caturOK> expected quoted string near '\uffff\200\234'
[07:58] <caturOK> why if i tail syslog
[07:58] <skorm> colk, true
[07:59] <caturOK> my bind no rndc
[07:59] <skorm> should be #ubuntu(should be discussion about ubuntu and then #ubuntu-help all about helping users
[07:59] <mandeep> sup
[08:00] <fivre> is there a more lightweight synaptic-ish program?
[08:00] <Madpilot> skorm, #ubuntu-offtopic is for chat
[08:00] <dooglus> skorm: #ubuntu-offtopic is about the closest to what #ubuntu should be
[08:00] <skorm> xD
[08:00] <skorm> I never to /lists on big servers
[08:00] <ardchoille> fivre: There is aptitude, some folks say it's the best
[08:01] <fivre> well, a gui sort
[08:01] <fivre> I'm still learning aptitude
[08:01] <mandeep> fivre have u heard of automatix
[08:01] <fivre> nope
[08:01] <isede> skorm: not using kde is not a crime, just a misdemenour
[08:01] <mandeep> its kinda like synaptic
[08:01] <Madpilot> mandeep, automatix is NOT a Synaptic replacement
[08:01] <isede> skorm: ego te absolvo :)
[08:01] <mandeep> jeez
[08:01] <skorm> isede: bash > *
[08:02] <skorm> hehehe
[08:02] <mandeep> i didnt tell him to kill himself
[08:02] <Madpilot> mandeep, no, but recommending automatix may kill his computer...
[08:02] <fivre> :|
[08:02] <mandeep> ...
[08:02] <mandeep> why do you think that
[08:02] <fivre> :D
[08:03] <mandeep> what bad experience did you have with it
[08:03] <Flannel> mandeep: there are plenty of documented cases of it going awry
[08:03] <mandeep> never had problems with it
[08:03] <iGotNoTime> Can anyone suggest a good multi-track audio editor? I am new to Linux about 6 hours ago and need to continue podcasting I had done in MS.
[08:03] <ardchoille> mandeep: You have to remember that no two Ubuntu installations are exactly the same. That which works for you may kill another users' box. That is why there are channels such as this one :)
[08:03] <afflux> morgen
[08:03] <mandeep> oh
[08:04] <WraithKeeper> who can tell me the word "PM"mean what?
[08:04] <ardchoille> Package Manager
[08:04] <Flannel> WraithKeeper: "private message"
[08:04] <ardchoille> or, in irc-land, it means Private Message
[08:05] <rpedro> iGotNoTime: ardour (just audio) or rosegarden4 (audio + midi)
[08:05] <WraithKeeper> thanks
[08:05] <iGotNoTime> rpedro, thank you very much :)
[08:05] <iGotNoTime> are they commercial?
[08:05] <rpedro> iGotNoTime: np
[08:05] <rpedro> iGotNoTime: no
[08:05] <iGotNoTime> ok :D
[08:06] <rpedro> iGotNoTime: also check http://ubuntustudio.com
[08:06] <iGotNoTime> will do first :)
[08:06] <iGotNoTime> good domain name :)
[08:06] <mandeep> can some1 tell me why ctrl alt del isnt working for me after ive run the commands to make it work
[08:08] <iGotNoTime> I am running Breezy from a CD I had a couple months ago, how far behind am I ?
[08:08] <fivre> very
[08:08] <skorm> iGotNoTime: extremly
[08:08] <iGotNoTime> :(
[08:08] <Madpilot> iGotNoTime, only one version - Dapper Drake came out in June
[08:08] <iGotNoTime> ok
[08:08] <Corporal_Dirge> how do I mount an external fat32 hdd? sudo mount /media/sda1 isn't working
[08:08] <fivre> but it's still a huge improvement
[08:08] <iGotNoTime> will I need to burn an ISO to get Dapper?
[08:08] <fivre> that or I was using 4
[08:09] <skorm> 2 kernal updates
[08:09] <skorm> i think :O
[08:09] <ardchoille> iGotNoTime: open a term and run:  lsb_release -a
[08:09] <Flannel> iGotNoTime: do you currently have ubuntu?
[08:09] <iGotNoTime> is there any lightscribe support in Ubuntu yet?
[08:09] <iGotNoTime> Flannel, yes Edu :)
[08:10] <Flannel> iGotNoTime: installed? or running off the CD?
[08:10] <iGotNoTime> Flannel, installed yes
[08:10] <Flannel> !tell iGotNoTime about upgrade
[08:10] <iGotNoTime> ardchoille, that will update the kernel?
[08:10] <iGotNoTime> thanks Flannel  :)
[08:10] <ardchoille> iGotNoTime: no, it will tell you which Ubuntu release you are using
[08:10] <mandeep> is there a way to make the menus close faster after a program has been selected?

[08:39] <romulo> what theme engine is edgy using?
[08:40] (ardchoille/#ubuntu) Guest477: I did that once and ended up using a wiki

[08:41] (benjk/#ubuntu) I uncommented the two lines to enable "universe" in /etc/apt/sources.list but apt-get still returns the same message
[08:41] (Guest477/#ubuntu) i have done some research, just hard to get into some of the nasty stuff, totally new to bash, and the general file structure is only just becoming clear to me
[08:41] (ardchoille/#ubuntu) Guest477: You can set up LAMP and use a light wiki for this stuff, that's what I did.
[08:41] <Guest477> thanks
[08:42] <ardchoille> Guest477: Here's the wiki I use.. I like it because mySQL hates me and this wiki doesn't need SQL: http://pmwiki.com/

[08:48] <ra7eeel> when i start the installation from the .iso cdand choose install to h.d.d
[08:48] <iGotNoTime> I had to install one program
[08:48] <skavenge> as long as you have a program to work with it yeah (gtkpod, amarok, whatever)
[08:48] <Guest477> okofficial ubuntu support channel
[08:48] <iGotNoTime> I used Amarok and it is great :)
[08:48] <ra7eeel> and get to detecting hardwar to find cd rom driver
[08:49] <kintaro> hi guys..i would like to know whats the use inetrd and sysmap..i tried compiling linux on manual before..what i did is compile then copy bzimage to /boot..and thats it then restart..not ubuntu distro....any idea..?
[08:49] <piratepenguin> hey kintaro!
[08:49] <ra7eeel> i found message says you installation cd-rom couldnt be mounted
[08:49] <kintaro> yes piratepenguin..
[08:49] <benjk> Ok then, no sox in Ubuntu, well, I am not impressed
[08:49] <ra7eeel> insert the cd and try again
[08:49] <piratepenguin> (if you don't recognise my username then you're not the kintaro I know, whoops..)
[08:49] <ra7eeel> and when i do so i got this message,
[08:49] <skavenge> !info sox
[08:50] <skavenge> woops bots gone
[08:50] <ardchoille> skavenge: ubotu left the channel :(
[08:50] <ra7eeel> sorry its gone
[08:50] <xarq> ardchoille: that's in the alien docs
[08:50] <piratepenguin> so what's the default music player/organiser on ubuntu? rhythmbox?
[08:50] <DarkMageZ> ardchoille, ubotu died... but don't worry, it's owner knows
[08:51] <dooglus> benjk: sox is in ubuntu, in the universe repository
[08:51] <benjk> as I said, I uncommented the two lines in /etc/apt/sources.list to enable universe
[08:51] <ra7eeel> any opinion
[08:51] <ardchoille> xarq: Yeah, I need to read them through soon
[08:51] <DarkMageZ> piratepenguin, yeah, it's rhythmbox
[08:51] <skavenge> benjk: you need to enable the universe and multiverse repositories before you can apt-get it
[08:51] <ChakRa> guys if i want to know the status of a specific service what command should i type? like in red hat its servise servise_name status, wandering whats the command in ubuntu???
[08:51] <kintaro> hmmm..piratepenguin sory i dont know you..hehehhe
[08:51] <benjk> yet apt-get still gives me the same message that it isn't available
[08:51] <ardchoille> DarkMageZ: Cool.. I love that bot
[08:51] <ra7eeel> guest477 ???
[08:51] <Guest477> all i can think of right off is how old is the puter
[08:51] <skavenge> benjk: did you run sudo apt-get update to update the repositories after?
[08:51] <cyrazz> Linux for Human Beings, I'm not human so why do i use this?
[08:51] <piratepenguin> kintaro: heh, you must be another kintaro
[08:51] <ra7eeel> the failing step is :detect and mount cd-rom
[08:51] <Guest477> and ra7, is the cd good for sure?
[08:52] <benjk> ok, lemme try that
[08:52] <ra7eeel> you men the media cd
[08:52] <dooglus> benjk: you need to "sudo apt-get update" before apt-cache will be updated
[08:52] <piratepenguin> does rhythmbox work with ipods?
[08:52] <benjk> ok, thanks, doing that now
[08:52] <ra7eeel> i had download the .iso from the original site
[08:52] <Guest477> yes ra7... are you sure the CD is undamaged?

[09:28] <romulo> hmm anyone is using packages from edgy repo?
[09:29] <Hobbsee> romulo: on dapper?  dont do it
[09:29] <romulo> whats the proper way to do it?
[09:29] <GreySim> Man, it'd be soooo nice if configure scripts could interface with apt-get to resolve dependenices. o.o'
[09:29] <romulo> Hobbsee, i mean, to use unstable
[09:30] <Hobbsee> romulo: ie, using edgy?  yeah, i am at the momnet, it's broken
[09:30] <romulo> Hobbsee, i just upgraded gtk =P
[09:30] <romulo> and for dialogs that use glade, its horrible
[09:30] <romulo> =p
[09:31] <david__> has anybody ever gotten a free domain though www.dyndns.com?
[09:31] <neil> ??
[09:32] <david__> when you have a site on your computer... it should come up when your IP is put in the browser, correct? is the index.html supposed be in the /var/www/index.html right?
[09:32] <david__> cuz i cant get it to go to that spot
[09:32] <Corporal_Dirge> Well.. I did it. I spent my entire day off trying to get Truecrypt working and have nothing to show for it.
[09:33] <romulo> Hobbsee, your theme is broken too?
[09:33] <Corporal_Dirge> But I did learn tat MP4 doesn't work on VLC
[09:33] <romulo> dunno if it is the gtk engine or the theme itself
[09:34] <david__> whne you type in my IP it just has an error trying to get there.. it doesnt find the host
[09:34] <Hobbsee> romulo: no, i use kde
[09:34] <david__> or when you type in the site does the same thing
[09:34] <romulo> Hobbsee, hm
[09:34] <crimsun> Corporal_Dirge: video or audio? because the latter definitely works if it's unenciphered.
[09:35] <Corporal_Dirge> Right about now I wish I could at least get a blue screen of death for all my hard work.
[09:35] <poje> !xgl >poje

[09:36] <david__> anybody running their own site on there computer?
[09:37] <GhettoPuNKkiD> david__: i am ..locally for now
[09:37] <Corporal_Dirge> Not on Linux. I run windows just fine.
[09:37] <crimsun> Corporal_Dirge: should be addressed once the edgy backport is available in dapper-backports
[09:37] <crimsun> Corporal_Dirge: I've enabled the w32codecs loader on i386
[09:37] <Corporal_Dirge> crimsun, It's a know bug. They'll have to work on it.

[09:41] <CaptainMorgan> what's the command to unzip a tar.gz ?
[09:41] <CaptainMorgan> someting like gunzip -c > | tar -xf ?
[09:41] <CaptainMorgan> but not

[09:41] <GhettoPuNKkiD> mohkohn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[09:42] <godtvisken> what is the "listen media manager"? it is an option in automatix
[09:42] <zcat[1] > CaptainMorgan: tar xzf will do (xzvf if you want to see all the filenames as it unpacks)

[09:43] <pppoe_dude> CaptainMorgan, tar xf
[09:43] <qwefwqef> how do I make sudo firestarter runnable by all without having to put in a password? is there a suoder file or something?

[09:44] <zcat[1] > CaptainMorgan: tar xzf grades.tar.gz
[09:44] <fyrestrtr> qwefwqef: it starts when your system starts automatically
[09:44] <Seveas> godtvisken, because it has broken thousands of systems already
[09:44] <zcat[1] > if that fails it isn't really a tar.gz
[09:44] <mohkohn> because this used to work with hoary and breezy.
[09:44] <mohkohn> I'll give it a go.
[09:44] <mohkohn> thanks
[09:44] <qwefwqef> fyrestrtr: it doesnt appear in ps -e

[09:46] <zcat[1] > easyubuntu messed up an install here a little bit.. added a redirect for the ati drivers (which didn't work with the card I had anyhow) and when I tried to swap for an nvidia I couldn't change packages around. Had to manually fix the redirect first...
[09:46] <GhettoPuNKkiD> david__: not at all; what do you got?
[09:46] <zcat[1] > my fault for being a slacker :)
[09:47] <fyrestrtr> *sigh* I wish ATI would make better drivers. XGL hasn't crashed once on my nvidia box, but constant hangups on my ATI laptop.

[09:50] <fyrestrtr> how old can you card be to have tv out and not support 3d acceleration?
[09:53] <GhettoPuNKkiD> fyrestrtr: can you point me in the direction of your post and maybe i can help?
[09:53] <zcat[1] > You'd be surprised
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> GhettoPuNKkiD: I don't need help, was just ranting.
[09:53] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ahh okay
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> thanks for the offer though :) stick around and help others.
[09:53] <david__> Ghettopunkkid... im not sure if you are getting my PMs so this is the last thing i wrote:  I went through dyndns.com can got a site called http://davidledford.isa-geek.com/ but is giving an error every time i try to go to it to see if its working
[09:53] <zcat[1] > I've seen cards with tuner and tv out that have win95 drivers with them...
[09:53] <GhettoPuNKkiD> fyrestrtr: of course, you're welcome
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> zcat[1] : do you know what kind of card it is?
[09:53] <aeolus> david__: what happens when you access it?
[09:53] <CyDrive> is there any software i can use iwth ubuntu to get my LEGAL anime downloads?
[09:53] <adiabatic> Is there any reason why people are still downloading 5.10 instead of 6.06?
[09:53] <GhettoPuNKkiD> david__: go to #ubuntu-offtopic and i will assist you
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> CyDrive: where do you download them from?
[09:53] <CyDrive> usually limewire
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> CyDrive: use frostwire
[09:53] <CyDrive> ok than you
[09:53] <zcat[1] > ati radeon something.. the machine is pretty old so I'm not too worried about getting it working perfectly. It plays movies and games in windows, it has ubuntu so they can have a play, and they are way overdue for something a bit newer.
[09:53] <Tmob> anyone using lirc on ubuntu?
[09:53] <dockane> i would like to check the status of ppp0 and if the interface is not up, do a "pon dsl-provider".. what is the best way to accomplis somehting like this?
[09:53] <Bergcube> Problem with skype:  I am running Dapper and installed (among other things) Skype via the EasyUbuntu utility.  Everything seemed to work great, but it has turned out I have one irritating problem.  I can make or recieve exactly ONE call, after that I will have to stop and start Skype to make the next one.  After one finished call Skype gives a message saying "problem with sound device".  (Or sometihng to that effect in case I didn't get it verbatim..
[09:53] <Bergcube> .)  Help?
[09:54] <zcat[1] > ping -c1 google.com || pon ppp0
[09:54] <Matthai> Bergcube, I have heard about that problem
[09:54] <Matthai> Report it to Skype
[09:54] <Matthai> I thing it is a bug
[09:54] <zcat[1] > skype == closed == not our problem.
[09:55] <godtvisken> Seveas: what about BUMPS or EasyUbuntu?
[09:55] <Bergcube> Matthai~  A good start indeed.  (Having heard about it...)
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> Bergcube: hrmm, are you running any other program that is using the sound card? It seems skype can't get exclusive access to the sound card. Happens mostly with built-in sound cards.
[09:55] <Matthai> oh, it is, since we are users
[09:55] <Matthai> and by report it I mean report it  to Skype
[09:55] <Seveas> godtvisken, I don't know bumps, easyubuntu is slighly better than automatix
[09:55] <m_0_r_0_n> How can I disable the write cache for media disk? I want the system to write all data to the disk at once!
[09:56] <Bergcube> zcat[1] ~  I know.  That it's closed.  So is there an OPEN alternative that will let me talk with my skyped friends that are running the redmond alternative os?
[09:56] <Seveas> Bergcube, no
[09:56] <Lathiat> m_0_r_0_n: Why dont you just unmount it before removing it?
[09:56] <godtvisken> Seveas: has it broken systems?
[09:56] <Bergcube> fyrestrtr~  Well, Gnome itself is using the inbuilt soundcard all the time....
[09:56] <Matthai> btw anyone knows whay I have nautilus window open when I restart compue? I want it closed by default...
[09:56] <Seveas> godtvisken, yes
[09:56] <zcat[1] > your friends could switch to gizmoproject which uses zip. There's a linux port, or you can use and SIP client (ekiga, etc)
[09:56] <zcat[1] > s/and/any/
[09:57] <Matthai> it is sometnihg with saving session...?
[09:57] <m_0_r_0_n> Lathiat, I dont like it
[09:57] <zcat[1] > bah, excuse typing SIP, ANY, etc...
[09:57] <m_0_r_0_n> How can I disable the write cache for media disk? I want the system to write all data to the disk at once!
[09:57] <CaptainMorgan> anyone know how to get rid of the dots(tabs) in Quanta? dunno - Quanta's channel 'used' to have people in it
[09:57] <godtvisken> Seveas: how should i go about doing all of this then?
[09:58] <Bergcube> Thanks all, for your input.  Valuable as always.  I will investigate it at the skype website, and report it there if everything else fails.
[09:58] <fyrestrtr> Ubuntu success story: a colleague visited my office, saw ubuntu running on my machine. Asked me two questions. "Is photoshop available" - I showed him GIMP. "How about Illustrator" - I showed him Inkscape. Next day, he comes in towing his machine. 'Format that crap Windows and install whatever you showed me yesterday. I am so sick of Windows'. :D Of course I didn't realize by doing that I volunteered to be tech support for the next week
[09:59] <Bergcube> Seveas~  Are you the seveas that has the add-on respositories?
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> Bergcube: you might have some luck with the alsa dmix plugin.
[09:59] <JamesRasmussen> what does it mean if i got a MP-BIOS BUG?
[09:59] <cappicrd> don't know
[09:59] <Bergcube> fyrestrtr~  Thanks.  I will experiment.  :-)
[10:00] <heretician> Is there a way to change a .bin into a .tar or does it require additional dependencies
[10:01] <Lynoure> fyrestrtr: Luckily linux support is cleaner, just ssh in a fix it :)
[10:01] <m_0_r_0_n> fyrestrtr, I would never recommend Linux as desctop system to a windows user...
[10:01] <fyrestrtr> Lynoure: problem is, he asks me stuff like 'So how do I add a user' :)
[10:01] <Lynoure> fyrestrtr: point him to some ubuntu guide?
[10:01] <zcat[1] > I would. But I make sure they tell me EVERYTHING they do. No MYOB is usually the showstopper...
[10:02] <fyrestrtr> m_0_r_0_n: he is not a Windows 'newbie'. He is a seasoned IT guy (works in telecom). He was always searching for some way to get rid of Windows.
[10:02] <heretician> m_0_r_0_n:  I would guess around ahh 40-60% of Linux users came from Windows :P
[10:02] <fyrestrtr> somthings are still not working correctly, like the remote control that came with his nvidia card.
[10:02] <zcat[1] > and they know upfront they pay me for techsupport ..
[10:02] <Lynoure> I would recommend Linux for Windows newbies! Have done so, they have it easier than oldtime windows users.
[10:02] <m_0_r_0_n> I dont have any problem with windows. I would have been a better idea to fix his windows system
[10:03] <fyrestrtr> m_0_r_0_n: I told him the same thing. He said, don't bother. I'm sick of it.
[10:03] <m_0_r_0_n> ok
[10:03] <Lynoure> fyrestrtr: :)
[10:03] <david__> how do i get to the ubuntu-offtopics again?
[10:03] <DarkMageZ> the windows user who doesn't have problems is a blind windows user
[10:03] <blind> <_<
[10:03] <Lynoure> david__: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:03] <m_0_r_0_n> DarkMageZ, you mean a clever windows user
[10:04] <ryan_> how doi uninstall gnome desktop.. i would prefer to use Xfce
[10:04] <heretician> I love when Linux users bash Windows, but only when they are correct ;/
[10:04] <zcat[1] > windows isn't too hard to run clean. being virus-free is not a good reason to switch. being Free is.
[10:04] <DarkMageZ> m_0_r_0_n, sure, it is possible to keep a windows system... but it's not worth the loss of fun
[10:05] <JamesRasmussen> what is a MP-BIOS BUG
[10:05] <m_0_r_0_n> Hm, I have a lot of fun :-) It s my playstation :-)
[10:05] <JamesRasmussen> i got it when trying to install
[10:05] <JamesRasmussen> or run the livecd i guess
[10:05] <heretician> DarkMageZ: The reason I joined in with Linux is the complete opposite of what you said :P
[10:06] <heretician> Figured I have finally got to the point where I gamed too much hehe
[10:06] <heretician> *and decided to make my computer useful
[10:07] <Guard] [an> pppoe_dude: it fact that was it :) no space left on /boot. thx for pointing this out
[10:07] <pppoe_dude> Guard] [an, i know these things ;)
[10:07] <ryan_> how doi uninstall gnome desktop.. i would prefer to use Xfce
[10:07] <Guard] [an> pppoe_dude : also i realized i did have i386 kernel on a centrino, i'm switching to i686 then

[10:09] <poje> 2 things: the keyboard shortcut for launching a terminal won't work for me anymore and my sound died
[10:11] <godtvisken> I just changed my time using the gnome time display in the corner of the screen, but now when I `sudo` I get an error about timestamp being too far in the future, how do I fix this?
[10:15] <mohkohn> GhettoPuNKkiD:  thanks. that worked for my Broadcom 4306
[10:16] <mohkohn> Now I just have to convince my Mac OS X nerd girlfriend to let me put ubuntu on her iPod!
[10:16] <gumara> what is http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-proposed/
[10:16] <Lynoure> mohkohn: hmm, I hope she is not buying from itunes.
[10:17] <godtvisken> I just changed my time using the gnome time display in the corner of the screen, but now when I `sudo` I get an error about timestamp being too far in the future, how do I fix this?
[10:17] <Corporal_Dirge> hahahahaaa, I did it! hidden partition using cascading Serpent-AES encryption. Took all day.
[10:17] <ryan_> my computer is slowing down when i use synaptic
[10:18] <yango> both hidden and encrypted?
[10:18] <detectiveinspekt> the spellcheck feature in openoffice doesn't work! help
[10:18] <Corporal_Dirge> Yup
[10:18] <yango> learn your spelling, detectiveinspekt 8-)
[10:18] <yango> how did you hide it?
[10:18] <detectiveinspekt> true but I really want it to work
[10:18] <mohkohn> Lynoure: that is irrelevant. We put linux on everything from toasters to x boxes to ipods because we can....could be hard on the relationship if I do though  :D
[10:19] <Corporal_Dirge> It's in a partition that appears to be random data.
[10:19] <Lynoure> mohkohn: Ok, if it is irrelevant for her, it is irrelevant.
[10:19] <mohkohn> I better not!
[10:19] <yango> detectiveinspekt, you need to provide more information. A "doesn't work" doesn't work...
[10:20] <mohkohn> I'll get back on topic
[10:20] <ernz> Anyone available to lend a helping hand with a login screen problem I have?
[10:20] <Lynoure> lunchtime for me...
[10:20] <ryan_> what commmand would i type in the terminal to remove the gnome desktop? i think it is slowing down my xubuntu desktop.. I cant run gnome because my comp is slow
[10:20] <detectiveinspekt> it checks but no incorrect words are found
[10:21] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ryan_: how much ram do you have?
[10:21] <yango> maybe you DID learn your spelling
[10:21] <yango> :D
[10:21] <yango> are the dicts installed?
[10:21] <zcat[1] > detectiveinspekt: did you change the language to something it doesn't have a dictionary for? I just checked my own and EnglishNZ doesn't work. I have to use EnglishUK to get spellchecking.
[10:21] <ryan_> just 128MB and its using the swap drive like crazy
[10:21] <detectiveinspekt> ok where is that set?
[10:21] <zcat[1] > options.
[10:21] <zcat[1] > somewhere.
[10:22] <zcat[1] > hang on I'll go back and take another look
[10:22] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ryan_: wow, well to remove gnome: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[10:22] <kriebly> Hi there. Does anyone know when the linux-source-2.6.15 package will be patched for latest local exploit (http://www.frsirt.com/english/advisories/2006/2816)?
[10:22] <zcat[1] > tools > options   language settings
[10:22] <ryan_> ive done that but it wont remove it
[10:23] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ryan_: format and use red hat ;p ubuntu uses lots of ram
[10:23] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ryan_: u need at least 192 to run ubuntu
[10:23] <detectiveinspekt> you talking about gnome or oo? the Default lanuage was English (New Zealand) so I changed to (UK of GB and North Island)
[10:23] <ernz> Am I voiced, CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?
[10:23] <GhettoPuNKkiD> we can hear you
[10:23] <ryan_> i guess I took the wrong rd to learn linux... this is my 4rth day of linux what a frustration
[10:23] <ernz> Wahey!
[10:23] <zcat[1] > OOo's language...
[10:24] <kristian> Someone help me install ati driver??
[10:24] <zcat[1] > (I never actually noticed that before. I always wondered why my spelling was pefrect!)
[10:24] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ryan_: ah, no frustration, it'll get easier
[10:25] <zcat[1] > ernz: you had a question?
[10:25] <detectiveinspekt> yep its UK
[10:25] <ryan_> is redhat easy to use. cause I find ubuntu fairly easy for beginners. especially in installing
[10:25] <GhettoPuNKkiD> well red hat is out played
[10:25] <GhettoPuNKkiD> get fedora
[10:25] <zcat[1] > detectiveinspekt: and you have the UK disctionary installed?
[10:25] <GhettoPuNKkiD> or mandrake
[10:25] <GhettoPuNKkiD> something that uses a lot less ram than ubuntu
[10:25] <ernz> zcat[1] : I cetainly did, thank you. My problem is with a login greeter application that I apparently installed onto Ubuntu.
[10:26] <ryan_> I tried mandrake its quite not user friendly to me... I came from winxp
[10:26] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ryan_: join #ubuntu-offtopic please
[10:26] <dean> hello
[10:26] <detectiveinspekt> whats the package called?
[10:26] <dean> :-)
[10:26] <ryan_> ok thanks. ill try to get answers there
[10:26] <ernz> Whenever I boot up, after the list of services starting (And before the login screen) I get an error message that reads along the lines of "A greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one."
[10:26] <zcat[1] > detectiveinspekt: unknown. apt-cache search it:)
[10:27] <detectiveinspekt> aspell-en is insalled at least
[10:28] <zcat[1] > hopefully someone will know. My dinner is served so I'm outta here!!
[10:28] <ernz> zcat[1] :I think way back when I tried to install a fancy login splash from Gnome-Look.org , but it didn't ever work and just gave me that error message. Now I can't get rid of the error message at all!
[10:30] <ernz> Can anyone help with that?
[10:30] -skorm:#ubuntu- ping
[10:30] <zcat[1] > ernz: yeah, always stick to packaged stuff... :)
[10:30] <someothernick> pong
[10:30] -skorm:#ubuntu- ping
[10:31] <ernz> Is there like a boot script that I can remove the greeter application from?
[10:31] <zcat[1] > ernz: very likely. But first you have to figure out what you installed :)

[10:37] <uXp> anyone notice but is google.com or anything related to googl down right now!?
[10:38] <cwillu> uXp: pings fine
[10:40] <ic56> date
[10:40] <uXp> cwill1:  i can't get through to google.com
[10:41] <uXp> Can anyone else access GOOGLE.COM?
[10:41] <squid0> hi
[10:42] <cwillu> uXp: yes, works fine
[10:42] <uXp> hmm weird
[10:42] <ke> lol
[10:42] <uXp> i can't access google or any otehr google services
[10:42] <uXp> i get a 404 cannot display
[10:42] <cwillu> uXp: can you ping it?  does it resolve at least?
[10:42] <cwillu> sounds like a proxy problem
[10:42] <GhettoPuNKkiD> uXp: its up
[10:43] <squid0> i'm trying to upgrade from breezy to dapper via the ship-it cd they posted me (just got it today :) ). however when i follow the instructions here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades#head-1596eecf4b58a03b3d9f44172a661382f8065a58 ) apt-get update tries to update via the net. I don't want to do this; i want to only use the cd at first, and then use the net afterwards. can someone...
[10:43] <squid0> ... please help me?
[10:43] <cwillu> squid0: might have to mess with your sources.list to disable the net sources temporarily
[10:43] <squid0> cwillu: ok... like comment out all but the cdrom source?
[10:44] <GhettoPuNKkiD> good night all
[10:44] <lassegs> its morning dude!
[10:44] <cwillu> squid0: something like that;  not sure if there's a better way, but that should work
[10:44] <squid0> cwillu: ok... but that somehow does not fortify me with tons of confidence :).....
[10:44] <cwillu> squid0: heh
[10:45] <uXp> lassegs:  haha i agree with you
[10:45] <cwillu> squid0: it'll work, just not sure if there's a more official way to do itt
[10:45] <cwillu> squid0: and there might be some version dependency problems possibly
[10:45] <qwefwqef> how do I get Opera out of my system tray?
[10:45] <squid0> cwillu: but won't i 'lose' all the packages that are not included/referenced in the cd?
[10:45] <cwillu> i.e., universe/multiverse type stuff that's not on the cd
[10:45] <squid0> right
[10:45] <cwillu> squid0: shouldn't
[10:45] <squid0> cwillu: ok.
[10:46] <lassegs> anyone who knows anything about xgl who wants to join me in the #xgl-ubuntu channel?
[10:46] <cwillu> what might happen is one of those packages could break
[10:46] <cwillu> but they shouldn't uninstall unless the cd has something marked as a replacement for it
[10:46] <squid0> and then what?
[10:46] <squid0> ah.. ok
[10:46] <squid0> i certainly hope so
[10:46] <uXp> lassegs:  me
[10:46] <cwillu> then you would reenable the internet sources (for dapper), and they should fix
[10:46] <squid0> ok
[10:46] <squid0> that sounds good.
[10:46] <cwillu> you are, of course, going to back up first, right?  :p
[10:46] <squid0> i hope you're right
[10:46] <squid0> hmmmm.
[10:47] <cwillu> hmmm?  :)
[10:47] <squid0> what, ~ ?
[10:47] <cwillu> data will be fine though
[10:47] <squid0> yes....
[10:47] <qwefwqef> how do I edit the options for my SLED menu please?
[10:47] <cwillu> i.e., you should only be at risk of losing the 'workingness' of various programs
[10:47] <squid0> ok
[10:48] <squid0> well, i'm gonna take the plunge
[10:48] <cwillu> gl :)
[10:48] <squid0> and i don't have any cd's at work so i'm gonna risk not backing up
[10:48] <squid0> thanks :)
[10:48] <HaRDaWaY> hello
[10:48] <squid0> cwillu: i'll be back if i run into any issues :)

[10:55] <Subhuman> or a wine variant
[10:56] <CyDrive> yes i now but i mean one intergrated into the os i mean i cant even get wine to wor right
[10:56] <FeestBijtje> Subhuman, wine is origenal but transgaming is a variant... well its exactly the same only commercial
[10:56] <Subhuman> FeestBijtje, I just said that
[10:57] <Subhuman> it was orginally WineX, dedicated to running directX correctly
[10:57] <Subhuman> then it was renamed to this transgaming/cedega

[10:58] <Corporal_Dirge> nope
[10:58] <kristian> kristian@kristian-desktop:~$ chmod +x ati-driver-installer-8.26.18-x86.run
[10:58] <kristian> chmod: cannot access `ati-driver-installer-8.26.18-x86.run': No such file or directory
[10:58] <kristian> what's wrong?
[10:58] <Subhuman> well then there is a problem with tour hardware
[10:58] <CyDrive> how come when ever i try to say install a windows exe i have through wine i get an error saying this windows directory does not exist?
[10:58] <Subhuman> CyDrive, have you ran winecfg yet?
[10:58] <Subhuman> CyDrive, you have to run winecfg first otherwise wine will fail.
[10:58] <CyDrive> no that could be the problem lol
[10:59] <FeestBijtje> kristian, use sudo chmod +x ati-driver-installer-8.26.18-x86.run
[10:59] <timbobsteve> kristian: that file doesn't exist
[10:59] <Corporal_Dirge> kristian, It won't partition and/or read a partition
[10:59] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: there is something wrong with your HW
[10:59] <Corporal_Dirge> It was working 15 minutes ago
[10:59] <kristian> FeestBijtje: It dosn't work either :/
[10:59] <Corporal_Dirge> And works in windows.
[11:00] <FeestBijtje> kristian, where is the file...
[11:00] <Corporal_Dirge> And WAS working on linux
[11:00] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: then reboot... and try the hardware again
[11:00] <kristian> on desktop
[11:00] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: Linux is unlike windows... it doesn't just die for no apparent reason
[11:00] <FeestBijtje> kristian, type "ls" and make shure the file is there
[11:01] <CyDrive> Do i have to do anything specific when i run winecfg?
[11:01] <Corporal_Dirge> the reboot IS what made it stop working.. then a second reboot and the other program stopped working. I'm afraid to reboot now in case it breaks something else.
[11:01] <Corporal_Dirge> timbobsteve, It dies all the time for no  reason.
[11:01] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: you what exactly are you trying to do... i came in 1/2 way through the convo
[11:02] <kristian> FeestBitje: It's not there:P When downloading with firefox, it's on the desktop...
[11:02] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: NO... linux dies because you did something to it... if it worked before... then you did something... linux is unforgiving.
[11:02] <squid0> cwillu, or anyone who can help: i'm upgrading breezy to dapper via the ship-it cd. i edited sources.list after mounting and adding the kubuntu 6.06 cd as a source, so that this is the only enabled (uncommented) source. However when i do apt-get update and then apt-get dist-upgrade, it only upgrades 4 packages. what's going on?
[11:02] <FeestBijtje> kristian, do this commando: find / -name ati-driver-installer-8.26.18-x86.run
[11:02] <Corporal_Dirge> I was partitioning a HDD. gparted doesn't have vfat so I made 2 partitions unformated. Then went into Disks Manager and formated them there.
[11:03] <regress> is there anyway to install over the internet, ala openbsd/fc5?
[11:03] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: OK.... hmmm GUI frontends aren't perfect.... have you tried using CLI apps?
[11:03] <Corporal_Dirge> timbobsteve, If it dies by me formatting something. (which is normal operation) you may as well say my car died because I turned the key.
[11:04] <kristian> FeestBjitje: ok.
[11:04] <maswan> regress: It requires a bit of fiddling to setup a network boot server, but sure, there is a way.
[11:04] <Corporal_Dirge> timbobsteve, I'm in a sling. I don't want to do that at the moment.
[11:04] <regress> maswan: any terms I could google for?

[11:04] <CyDrive> Can someone help me congiure wine i eep getting this error when i click on audio in the control tab
[11:04] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: no... i wouldn't say that comparison is correct.... its more like you may have accidentally put your house key in the ignition and broke it ;)

[11:05] <Corporal_Dirge> timbobsteve, That's not the case. Maybe if I was trying to format a banana. But my analagy is closer than yours.

[11:06] <FeestBijtje> kristian, found it?
[11:06] <Corporal_Dirge> i'm going to risk another reboot and see what else stops working.
[11:06] <maswan> the wiki is probably more informative than the files. :)
[11:06] <kristian> FeestBijtje: Yes, /home/kristian/Desktop/, if that could be correct?
[11:07] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: I will try and help you if you let me
[11:07] <Corporal_Dirge> I can always wipe and reload the HDD for a second time this weekend.
[11:09] <FeestBijtje> kristian, it should be there
[11:09] <Corporal_Dirge> Well, nothing is working. There's not even an error. It's saying my HDD is NTFS when it's not
[11:09] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: is that what cfdisk said ?
[11:09] <kristian> FeestBijtje: Ok. /home/kristian/Desktop/ati-driver-installer-8.26.18-x86.run. How do I use chmod +x ati-driver-installer-8.26.18-x86.run  now?
[11:09] <celenk> I just installed Ubuntu and I can't seem to connect to the internet using DHCP(what I use on windows) is there any help document I can look at?  or could someone help me?

[11:10] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: OK... and what is the hdd device name ?
[11:10] <timbobsteve> celenk: eth0 is the first ethernet card... lo is the loobback device... eth0 is the one you want
[11:10] <celenk> timbobsteve, eth0 has nothing listed that looks like an IP address

[11:21] <snoops> ahh.. link_36p :(
[11:21] <link_36p> snoops - ya its sucks :(
[11:22] <snoops> basically you can create another x server session, and run it in that
[11:22] <link_36p> snoops - You know a super fast way to switch into plain X?
[11:22] <snoops> but not a fun way
[11:22] <snoops> personally I absolutely loathe how much you have to restart x in linux.. the whole thing needs to be rethought!
[11:22] <link_36p> snoops - curresntly i just cooked up a simple script to replace my xorg.conf and kdmrc files
[11:23] <link_36p> snoops - but ive been changing sooo much its starting to get on my nerves! :'(
[11:23] <snoops> yeah.. :(

[11:24] <mcpowley> does anyone use gmusicbrowser? Or does anyone have a suggestion for a good library based media player with last.fm support, and album art fetching other than amarok, and banshee?
[11:24] <link_36p> snoops - Do you know a way to maybe script a Xorg reboot (like ctrl-alt backspace) with a auto login! :o
[11:24] <snoops> celenk umm :( do you know if the chipset is supported in nix?
[11:24] <squid0> cwillu, or anyone who can help: i'm upgrading breezy to dapper via the ship-it cd. i edited sources.list after mounting and adding the kubuntu 6.06 cd as a source, so that this is the only enabled (uncommented) source. However when i do apt-get update and then apt-get dist-upgrade, it only upgrades 4 packages. I thought it would upgrade a whole bunch, and do some major work. What's going on?
[11:24] <snoops> or if it's possibly a problem with your network?
[11:24] <kristian> FeestBijtje: I have to "sudo aticonfig --initial" but it seems that I don't have xorg.conf?
[11:25] <celenk> snoops, I'm not sure, but this computer is also on linux, hooked up to the network
[11:25] <JdGordon> anyone been able to install libsdl-dev on ubuntu?
[11:25] <kristian> I have tried to sudo /etc/x11/xorg.conf, but it's empty.
[11:25] <FeestBijtje> kristian, xorg.conf is located in /etx/x11/xorg.conf
[11:25] <stgraber> mcpowley: The next version of rhythmbox will do all the things you want. Maybe you can find a backport from Edgy
[11:25] <link_36p> squid0 - try "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[11:26] <snoops> because it's a capital X11 kristian
[11:26] <snoops> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:26] <squid0> link_36p: no joy :( just tells me that 8 packages can't be upgraded
[11:26] <link_36p> Hmmm
[11:27] <link_36p> im assuming you already did
[11:27] <snoops> celenk not sure dude.. I'm too inexperienced in that area :(
[11:27] <link_36p> an update squid?
[11:27] <link_36p> apt-get update
[11:27] <snoops> link_36p err well I think you could script it all
[11:27] <squid0> link_36p: for breezy, or for dapper?
[11:27] <kristian> FeestBijtje: Nice ;)
[11:27] <link_36p> snoops - oh really even the login you think?
[11:27] <link_36p> squid - dapper
[11:28] <JdGordon> how do i get around this? "libglib2.0-dev: Depends: libglib2.0-0 (= 2.10.2-1ubuntu3) but 2.10.3-0ubuntu1 is to be installed"
[11:28] <squid0> link_36p: that's the thing: i don't want to use the net, cause i can't download much. i'd rather use the cd first, and then 'patch up' the updates from the net
[11:28] <celenk> snoops, and I don't think it's the chipset, as I found a post of someone using the same mobo as me with no problems on same ubuntu version =(
[11:28] <FeestBijtje> kristian, found it?
[11:29] <snoops> you probably will have to enter password I guess.. I'm just thinking you could use xvkbd to send x your keyboard commands
[11:29] <link_36p> squid0 - Are you upgrading a breezy install with a dapper CD?
[11:29] <kristian> Feestbijtje: Yes :) But have to restart now, brb.
[11:29] <squid0> link_36p: yes
[11:29] <link_36p> snoops - http://pastebin.ca/90084
[11:29] <mcpowley> stgraber, Rhythmbox is kind of slow, but it's nice...where's the album art support thouygh? I was using gmusicbrowser, which I was liking a lot, but I couldn't get the album art fetcher to work
[11:31] <link_36p> squid0 - unhonestly I dont know much about the subject but it sounds like its not using the CD, could you identify that the 4 packages it did list for upgrade were in fact from the CD?
[11:31] <snoops> link_36p not sure about auto gdm logins.. another ttyl maybe?
[11:31] <link_36p> snoops - sure thing man
[11:32] <Corporal_Dirge> Well, 50G being encrypted through USB 1.1, I won't find out if this worked for another 12 hours.
[11:32] <matusbraga> I'm with a problem, my aMule is crashing and closing. How i do to repair?
[11:32] <celenk> snoops, or anyone else - when I set up a static ip, and try to ping the router, it gives me a "Destination host unreachable" error
[11:32] <squid0> link_36p: well, about half an hour ago it did update a few (about 4) packages from the cd. so i guess that these ones that it isn't updating are because of some conflict. but yes, i think i can confirm that they're from the cd
[11:32] <Enverex> Are there any programs that let me write to an NTFS partition?
[11:32] <rpedro> matusbraga: /join #amule
[11:33] <egonw_> how can I verify wether a network chip on my machine's motherboard is broken or not?
[11:33] <kristian> Feestbijtje: Now I did fglrxinfo, but Mesa is still there.. :/
[11:33] <snoops> as far as xvkbd is concerned I'd send it.. "/usr/binxvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Ctrl_L] \[Alt_L] \[Backspace] ""
[11:34] <snoops> do you get any info if you ifconfig in terminal celenk?
[11:34] <Enverex> kristian, did you set /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use the fglrx video driver rather than ati?
[11:34] <Corporal_Dirge> Enverex, yes. I can't recal off the top of my head. Google will show it. I think there was a slashdot article a couple days ago too.
[11:34] <snoops> (pastebin.ca it)
[11:34] <Enverex> Thanks Corporal_Dirge
[11:34] <rpedro> kristian: go to http://ubuntuforums.org , and search for 'ati mesa issue' , there's a topic therre on that
[11:34] <Lynoure> egonw_: install a configuration that is known to work with that chip, then try? No easier way than that, I suppose. And even that is not bulletproof
[11:34] <link_36p> squid0 - Im kinda stumped on this one, (seeing as how when it upgraded the 4 it SHOULD upgrade any other availible packages), and i cannot think of any reason why it wouldnt, are you sure that you have not performed any updates online recently?
[11:34] <kristian> Enverex: No, how do I do that=
[11:34] <egonw_> Lynoure: can confirm that...
[11:34] <kristian> ?
[11:35] <kristian> rpedro: On my way :)
[11:35] <egonw_> Lynoure: one moment I was online, the next the led on the hub was out for the port of my machine
[11:35] <rpedro> kristian: but first check that you did enable fglrx in your xorg.conf
[11:35] <celenk> snoops, yes, it gives me an inet addr of 192.168.0.100 which is what I set it to... other than that what would I be looking for?
[11:35] <squid0> link_36p: i think i last updated breezy last night via apt-get update
[11:35] <cristy> hello
[11:35] <egonw_> Lynoure:  so, I had a working setup up to some moment this morning
[11:35] <Enverex> kristian, open the file I just told you about, go about 3/4 the way down where it has your video card and change where it says Driver to fglrx instead of ati
[11:36] <Enverex> Corporal_Dirge, Damn, it's not in synaptic :(
[11:36] <snoops> not too sure sorry celenk
[11:36] <kristian> Enverex: It is fglrx
[11:36] <FeestBijtje> kristian, try to google it up i don't know how to fix that :(
[11:36] <Enverex> hmm, it should be right then
[11:36] <link_36p> squid0 - I believe the majority of packages will have the same version no matter what distos repo it comes from.
[11:37] <kristian> Feestbijtje: I'll try everything :) Thx alot
[11:37] <kristian> :)
[11:37] <link_36p> celenk - your problem is cimple pinging the router?

[11:37] <kristian> Enverex: Yepp, it should work by now?
[11:38] <celenk> link_36p, no, I'm trying to figure out why I can't get the internet to work, I just pointed out I can't even ping the router

[11:40] <Lynoure> amit: If it is not a ubuntu package, the developers of it are prolly the best people to ask
[11:40] <link_36p> celenk - Forgive me if i ask you to do things snoops has already told you, to start out with a dummie (i just like to get  a feel for the situation) question, are the LEDs on the ethernet port and router indicated a connection?
[11:40] <Enverex> Corporal_Dirge, Yup
[11:40] <celenk> link_36p, yes
[11:40] <amit> its tar.gz package
[11:40] <Enverex> Corporal_Dirge, Neither ntfs-3g (the one you refered to) and Captive are in synaptic
[11:40] <mcpowley> stgraber, Oh, I read your message wrong ;) MmMm edgy scheduled for release october right?
[11:40] <Lynoure> amit: then, yep, see above.

[11:42] <link_36p> squid0 - I havent done thisbut im not sure, i believe you can upgrade by just booting the CD. (dont quote me on this or anything)
[11:42] <link_36p> squid0 - I believe after that you might be able to use dapper repos/
[11:42] <rpedro> kristian: I think it is an howto
[11:42] <link_36p> celenk - Please do.
[11:42] <amit> whats ur sugestion?

[11:43] <squid0> thanks
[11:43] <celenk> link_36p, I'd like to think so, but I'm currently connected to the router with this computer

[11:46] <Lynoure> amit: they are mentioning webpages to find more information from. The software does not come with ubuntu, so unless you are lucky, it might be no one here has ever used it

[11:48] <link_36p> celenk - Have you checked for any possible hardware problems - using a cross-over cables, possible a bad port on the router.
[11:48] <kristian> rpedro: I see that i have post a post in that already;) Nice!
[11:48] <Enverex> Seveas, I have libfuse2 and libfuse-dev installed
[11:48] <celenk> link_36p, I think I've found the problem http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83710&highlight=uli
[11:49] <link_36p> celenk - out of curiosity, what was it??
[11:49] <celenk> link_36p, I'm going to try and put in another nic card, update to dapper, and hopefully it will work
[11:49] <Seveas> Enverex, fuse in dapper is 2.4 so you're out of luck unless you rebuild the fuse module and lib from source
[11:49] <celenk> link_36p, the chipset seems to not work entirely with ubuntu 5.10, apparently it's fixed in dapper, but as I'm out of blank cds, I'm stuck with the 5.10 cd
[11:49] <Enverex> ack, just noticed the version numbers, ok
[11:49] <celenk> link_36p, ULI chipset, that is
[11:50] <link_36p> celenk - ya that might be a problem :p

[11:55] <Lynoure> amit: Not really a guru, just seasoned search engine user :)
[11:56] <Enverex> Seveas, Problem is, if I remove fuse from synaptic it wants to remove everything else... so I'd have to compile from source and overwrite the old one...

[11:59] <keeperofdakeys> fine
[11:59] <Enverex> erm, OGG is OGG, FLAC is FLAC
[11:59] <Ignite_> ogg is a container
[11:59] <Ignite_> not a format
[12:00] <Enverex> When you encode with oggencoder then, what format does it make the audio files?
[12:00] <Ignite_> never used it
[12:00] <Ignite_> maybe you have an option?
[12:00] <Enverex> I have lots of music files in OGG format. OGM is a container, OGG is a format.

[12:11] <Wizardling> Hi. For the second release in a row Ubuntu for Mac does not work on old CRT iMacs
[12:12] <Wizardling> after the loading screen there's nothing.
[12:12] <Wizardling> just a blank screen
[12:12] <narfmaster> Wizardling, is the clock set?
[12:12] <Lynoure> Ignite_: Which version of Amarok?
[12:12] <Enverex> Seveas, Wasn't hard to get working, just installed gcc, gcc++ then compiled libfuse and then compiled ntfs-3g, heh
[12:12] <Skorm> Wizardling: looks like you have a problem
[12:12] <DarkMageZ> narfmaster, hmm, k, i'll give that a try
[12:13] <Ignite_> Lynoure, 1.4.1
[12:13] <Seveas> Enverex, I never said compiling would be hard - packaging will be ;)
[12:13] <Wizardling> Yes, the clock is set - why would that result in a blank screen after the loading screen?
[12:13] <Enverex> Seveas, Oh I know, but I come from Gentoo where things just brake for the hell of it, lol
[12:13] <Lynoure> Ignite_: I found a lot of things hinting at a bug in libxine causing this
[12:13] <narfmaster> Wizardling, i was thinking you had the "date bug"
[12:13] <Enverex> Is it possible to give a user permission to mount and unmount any drives?
[12:14] <Seveas> Enverex, that sounds like a pretty accurat edescription of gentoo 
[12:14] <Ignite_> Lynoure, yeah, guys in #amarok said to upgrade it to version 1.1.2, gonna give it a try :)
[12:14] <narfmaster> Wizardling, that's what the date bug would do
[12:14] <Lynoure> Ignite_: Sounds like a good next step.
[12:14] <Wizardling> IIRC I got the live CD of the previous release working with a change of the default screen resolution.
[12:14] <KJro> hello all ..
[12:14] <Enverex> I used Gentoo for about 4 years in total, spent most the time fixing it. I got Ubuntu set up with everything installed in about 30 mins (I mean with all my own programs added) where as I'd still be compiling 20 hours or more later with Gentoo.
[12:15] <Enverex> Seveas, ? Is it possible to give a user permission to mount and unmount any drives?
[12:15] <Wizardling> But as to FINDING that info again...
[12:15] <Wizardling> It was a known problem with Ubuntu on CRT iMacs.
[12:15] <Wizardling> Very frustrating this has not been fixed.
[12:15] <Seveas> enverix, put this in /etc/sudoers: the_username ALL=NOPASSWD: mount
[12:15] <Dai-Galean> Wizardling:: It does sound like you have a issue with the Desktopmanager and resolutions
[12:15] <narfmaster> Wizardling, you should try to update your firmware as well
[12:15] <Seveas> then the_username can use sudo to mount
[12:16] <Wizardling> My fireware is updated
[12:16] <narfmaster> Wizardling, :) just checking
[12:16] <Wizardling> the iMacs in question normally run MacOS 10.3.9
[12:16] <KJro> HOW  do i rename a set of 81 files from "Picture 001.jpg"  to "Picture001.jpg" .. where the 3 digit number 001 go's to 081  ????
[12:16] <Infecto> man bash
[12:17] <narfmaster> man rename
[12:17] <Enverex> Seveas, I still get "Unable to mount the selected volume. mount: only root can mount /dev/sdc1 on /media/sdc1"
[12:17] <Seveas> 'sudo mount /dev/sdc1'
[12:17] <maswan> KJro: rename 's/ //' (be careful with rename though, you want to look it up and figure out what it does. if in doubt, make a backup copy in another directory of the files)
[12:17] <Enverex> Seveas, I'm clicking a button on the Gnome panel, I can't put sudo infront of that, heh
[12:18] <Enverex> Hence why I asked for a way to give users permission to just mount any drives (without su or sudo)
[12:18] <KJro> you know.... i read man off rename did a search in google.... and .. well maybe i am dumm ... but i have no idea how to explain to him .. what i want
[12:18] <Dai-Galean> Wizardling:: have you tried isntalling it with out a DM and x and see if you get the cmd line
[12:18] <Wizardling> Well, searching Ubuntu's help for iMac screen resolution results in nada
[12:18] <cef> Enverex: 'man gksudo'
[12:18] <KJro> was hoping some of you could just give me the exact expression
[12:19] <Dai-Galean> And good morning to everyone btw
[12:19] <KJro> maswan -> any idea ?
[12:19] <maswan> KJro: rename 's/ //' Picture*
[12:19] <KJro> could you explain to me what it dose ?
[12:19] <KJro> s/ is ?
[12:19] <Enverex> cef: That still needs you to run gksudo infront of it =/
[12:19] <DarkMageZ> narfmaster, no change :(
[12:19] <Enverex> hmm, maybe I'll just change my UID to 0 and be done with it, heh
[12:20] <Dai-Galean> <-- Has now been running ubuntu for 3 or so months and thought I would see what the community in the irc was like
[12:20] <maswan> KJro: it replaces (s/ = substitute) the " " to the bit between the last two //'s (that is, nothing).
[12:20] <narfmaster> DarkMageZ, surprising
[12:20] <narfmaster> DarkMageZ, that always worked for me
[12:20] <maswan> KJro: s/ic/moo/ would leave you with Pmooture...
[12:20] <cristiano> hello i have found a mdf image which has been splitted in .md0 and md1, do u know hot to rebuild them?
[12:20] <KJro> aha .... now i get it.... do you have something to count ?
[12:21] <sonny> i install an ubuntu on my notebook but have a promble the screen always display black how can i do?
[12:21] <KJro> like  : rename bunch of random named files to name<number> ?
[12:21] <maswan> KJro: If you want the numbers to stay the same, you can just run that. If you want to renumber the pictures, that gets trickier.
[12:21] <cef> Enverex: you can make a button that runs gksudo, which runs the command. just right click on the button, hit properties, and add 'gksudo ' before the command you want to run
[12:21] <Enverex> That's not the point
[12:22] <Enverex> These are the automated mount buttons that appear on their own
[12:22] <narfmaster> Enverex, i think you'd need to edit fstab for what you want
[12:22] <Axe_> Does anyone know if its possible to run a program in Wine that uses the firewire port
[12:22] <KJro> manswan could you point me to an explanation to all the param's ..... ?
[12:22] <cef> Enverex: ahh those things. then you probably want to do something like adding the 'user' option to the fstab entry
[12:22] <foreman> hi, can anyone tell me how to change my system wide setting to iso-8859-15 rather then utf-8?
[12:22] <Enverex> They don't have fstab entries as they are automatic via DBUS
[12:23] <maswan> KJro: man rename and man perlre
[12:23] <Enverex> Meh, I'll just switch to UID0 and not worry about it, thanks anyway
[12:23] <cristiano> no clues for me?
[12:23] <cef> Enverex: ok.. is the user a member of the plugdev group? cos I can do this sort of stuff by default
[12:23] <maswan> KJro: man perlrequick might be a quicker and easier reading than perlre
[12:23] <Enverex> cef: Erm, probably not, I'd never heard of it
[12:24] <narfmaster> Enverex, did you look at pmount?
[12:24] <Enverex> I guess I dislike not being UID0 anyway as I have to keep typing in the root password all the time and don't have rights to save to places and have to keep jumping through hoops
[12:24] <cef> Enverex: pmount, dbus and plugdev sort of work together on this
[12:25] <Enverex> Yeah, I'm already in the plugdev group
[12:25] <foreman> anyone? I bet it's not that hard, I just n't know how to do it
[12:25] <cristiano> pls guys help me!!! i have mdf, mds, md0 and md1, how to build md0 and md1 to have again the mdf complete file?
[12:25] <foreman> the language selecter doesn't offer system wide default locale selection
[12:25] <cef> Enverex: what's the tool you're using? is it the "Disk Mounter" applet?
[12:25] <foreman> and dpkg-reconfigure locales doesn't offer it either (nor does it offer me a selection of what locales to install)
[12:25] <KJro> it says no manual entry for perlequick
[12:26] <Enverex> cef: Yes, I also can't mount or unmount from the icon that appear on the desktop either
[12:26] <Enverex> Other than "omg u r going to get h4x3d!!" argument, is there anything wrong with running as UID0?
[12:26] <Axe_> Does anyone know if its possible to run a program in Wine that uses the firewire port? Any ideas
[12:26] <Axe_> I'm gessing no
[12:26] <cef> Enverex: that's very weird.. sounds definitely like a permissions problem of some sort, or something isn't communicating
[12:26] <doneir> foreman, yeah, dapper changed how you setup locales
[12:26] <foreman> doneir: and how can one do that now?
[12:27] <pjot> anyone familiar with gambas who can help me a bit?
[12:27] <narfmaster> cristiano, you may be stuck having to use Alcohol
[12:27] <doneir> foreman, there's a thread on the wiki.ubuntu.com forums (i think... it's ubuntu something, think it's the wiki) that shows how to do it now. Or alternatively, just google for "dapper dpkg-reconfigure locales", you'll get a number of hits
[12:27] <cef> Enverex: were you a member of the plugdev group or did you just add yourself?
[12:27] <Enverex> cef: Always have been afaikt
[12:27] <cristiano> narfmaster: u suggest to use Alcohol on linux?
[12:27] <foreman> doneir: okay, thanks
[12:27] <Enverex> -k +c
[12:28] <narfmaster> cristiano, i don't think you can :/
[12:28] <cef> Enverex: ok good.. just if you weren't, you'd need to log out and back in again... hrmmm
[12:28] <narfmaster> cristiano, but why on Earth would you need it?
[12:28] <Enverex> cef: Other than "omg u r going to get h4x3d!!" argument, is there anything wrong with running as UID0?
[12:28] <cristiano> narfmaster: i've never seen splitted mdf files before so i dunno what to do on Linux :(
[12:28] <cristiano> narfmaster: i've found a DVD image which appear to have been splitted in this strange way :(
[12:28] <narfmaster> cristiano, sorry all i ever deal with are iso and nrg files
[12:28] <Axe_> is there any easy way to access SMB shares?
[12:28] <narfmaster> cristiano, have you tried Nero?
[12:29] <Axe_> And make them automatically mount
[12:29] <doneir> crimsun, you can use mdf2iso to convert an mdf to an iso, but a split mdf? not sure
[12:29] <cristiano> narfmaster: negative, where to find Nero for Linux?
[12:29] <snoops> you can grab a nautilus script to mount them Axe_
[12:29] <narfmaster> cristiano, Nero makes a version for Linux - just search on their site
[12:29] <Axe_> snoops, where would I find a said script
[12:29] <doneir> apparently it's not too crash hot though
[12:30] <cristiano> narfmaster: thx i'll let u know :) btw i don't want to burn this image but just open it
[12:30] <cef> Enverex: what does 'cat /sys/block/sdc/removable' say?
[12:31] <snoops> Axe_ http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/cat-filesysmgt.php

[12:34] <Enverex> Corporal_Dirge, Only AMD64
[12:34] <snoops> no shockwave at all
[12:34] <Enverex> Oh, I'm thinking flash
[12:34] <Enverex> heh
[12:34] <Corporal_Dirge> Damn.
[12:34] <cef> Enverex: if it's removab le, then it would automatically allow you access regardless
[12:34] <Enverex> cef, Well it isn't, heh
[12:34] <Enverex> cef: Other than "omg u r going to get h4x3d!!" argument, is there anything wrong with running as UID0? <<
[12:34] <cef> Enverex: according to the kernel though, sdc isn't removable
[12:34] <Corporal_Dirge> No wonder all my usual sites don't work
[12:34] <Enverex> cef: It's SATA and I plugged it in after boot
[12:34] <cef> Enverex: you won't get support from anyone here running everything as uid0
[12:34] <DarkMageZ> narfmaster, interestingly enough, i added 1280x1024 to the list, and that works. very odd
[12:35] <Enverex> cef: Why?
[12:35] <Pecisk> Enverex: let's say it is not wrong, it is not simply clever and safe
[12:35] <narfmaster> DarkMageZ, yes it is odd
[12:35] <cef> Enverex: because it's not a supported way
[12:35] <sonny> i install an ubuntu on my notebook but have a promble the screen always display black how can i do?
[12:35] <Enverex> Pecisk, How is it not "clever and safe"?
[12:35] <Enverex> I'm kinda just getting sick of having to jump through hoops all the time and not being able to do it the easy way because, for lack of reason, it's "not clever and safe"
[12:36] <cef> Enverex: apart from the "you can be hacked" type aspect, there is also the "you've just accidently deleted most of your drive" type problems
[12:36] <Enverex> cef: What is the difference between rm -rf / and sudo rm -rf /? Nothing
[12:36] <Enverex> That's a moot point
[12:36] <Wizardling1> God, I can't believe Ubuntu 6.06 is broken on tray-loading iMacs, just as 5.10 was.
[12:37] <cef> Enverex: and ubuntu has been laid out speficially to avoid needing root where possible, so you may get unexplained behaviour
[12:37] <narfmaster> tray-loading iMacs?
[12:37] <Wizardling1> yes
[12:37] <void^> Enverex: you are free to do whatever you want. just when you ask questions on irc and mention you run everything as root, don't be surprised about random bashing. :] 
[12:37] <Flannel> !tell Enverex about sudo
[12:37] <narfmaster> i've only ever seen slot-loaders
[12:37] <Flannel> Enverex: that page goes over the merits of using sudo
[12:37] <hyperstream> !xgl
[12:37] <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
[12:37] <Enverex> Flannel, Please try reading the conversation before pointing out uncessary things
[12:38] <Enverex> Well I need to enter the damn password all the time while running anything from the admin menu (Why? I'm the only user) and not being able to do things like access my own damn drives
[12:38] <Flannel> Enverex: you were asking for WHY sudo should be used, that page goes over it.
[12:38] <narfmaster> Enverex, man root_sudo
[12:38] <Enverex> I've been using Linux for over 4 years, I KNOW what sudo is and does
[12:39] <teroedni> Enverex; sudo stays on for a while dosent it?
[12:39] <narfmaster> Enverex, that man root_sudo is Ubuntu-specific
[12:39] <Enverex> I'm just sick of having to enter my password 8000 times a day and having to append sudo to any commands in the terminal
[12:39] <doneir> then just spawn a root shell (sudo -s) and work to your hearts content
[12:39] <thoreauputic> Enverex: so use sudo -i
[12:40] <Guest477> use the way you like if you are comfortable with a lower lever of security, but i must say
[12:40] <Guest477> the annoyance is a small price
[12:40] <Pecisk> Enverex: if you have to use root password 8000 times a day, then is very big possibility that you do something very wrong :)
[12:40] <Guest477> i know what he means though
[12:40] <Flannel> Enverex: you can mount your drives so you don't need sudo to access them.
[12:41] <Pecisk> Enverex: and there is sudo bash for nasty console of mighty root
[12:41] <Enverex> Ok, when I was running Windows I was never "haxored" so the chance of it happening while running Ububtu is even more remote and if I'm going to do something stupid and issue a command to format my HD it still wont make any difference because I'll just have put sudo infront of it
[12:41] <Guest477> for instance... my ip is always detected at boot, the router ip not the isp ip
[12:41] <Guest477> i change it each time i logon
[12:41] <Guest477> can i fix that permanently?
[12:41] <Flannel> Enverex: since you obviously know everything, one wonders why you're here in the first place.  besides to allow us to bask in your glory.
[12:41] <cef> this all started because his SATA drive that was plugged in AFTER boot is not marked as removable. this to me looks like a kernel bug, as it's not marking the drive as removable. if it did, this wouldn't be suck a big problem
[12:42] <Axe_> http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/nautilus-scripts/File%20System%20Management/Mount_Samba_Share how would I go about using this script
[12:42] <Enverex> cef: Well, having to enter the root password EVERY TIME I select something on the admin system menu is equally as annoying
[12:42] <Enverex> I just don't see the logic in all this paranoia of running as root
[12:43] <thoreauputic> Enverex: the question is not whether Linux is ready for you, but whether you are ready for Linux
[12:43] <roshan_s> Enverex: By default it only asks for your password if it's more than IIRC 5 min after you last entered it
[12:43] <Enverex> thoreauputic, I'm sorry, who exactly asked that question?
[12:43] <Dai-Galean> Enverex:: basically it more so jsut for saftey
[12:43] <Guest477> my ip is always detected at boot, the router ip not the isp ip.... can i fix this so that i won't need to change it manually each time?
[12:44] <cef> Enverex: you could just 'man sudoers', look for 'authenticate' and then update your sudo config to NOT PROMPT for passwords you know.
[12:44] <void^> Enverex: use `sudo -i` for laziness. that's as far as any sane person needs to go.
[12:44] <thoreauputic> Enverex: consider it a comment on your current state of mind
[12:44] <Enverex> cef, That still means any programs that need root (and don't use gksudo) will need me to run them from a terminal sudoing
[12:44] <doneir> Guest477, short answer: yes see 'man interfaces'
[12:44] <mp3guy> I'm having a problem installing libavahi-client-dev, synaptic says its not installable
[12:44] <Guest477> thank you don
[12:44] <cef> Enverex: did I say it was a full solution to your woes?
[12:44] <Axe_> http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/nautilus-scripts/File%20System%20Management/Mount_Samba_Share how would I go about using this script
[12:45] <Flannel> !tell Axe_ about samba
[12:45] <roshan_s> Enverex: That's not true. gksudo respects the sudo settings
[12:45] <Flannel> Axe_: use that howto instead
[12:45] <Enverex> roshan_s, I said if a program DIDN'T use gksudo
[12:45] <Flannel> Enverex: SUDO respects sudo settings
[12:46] <fresch> hi, i wrote a script to modify the sitelists of dansguardian in php. after these files have been modified i want to run /etc/init.d/dansguardian reload to load the changes. this needs to be run as root. i created a file i/usr/local/bin/filter-reload.sh which simply executes /etc/init.d/dansguardian reload. i then used chmod u+s to set the SUID bit on that script, so the php file can execute this script and have dansguardian reload the config.
[12:46] <fresch> the problem is it doesn't work, any suggestions?
[12:46] <roshan_s> Enverex: That problem would be fixed by adding a "Run As..." context menu entry
[12:46] <thoreauputic> Enverex: by the way, Mac OS-X uses sudo too - on the same model - haven't heard alot of complaints about that ;)
[12:47] <Jack1> hi
[12:47] <narfmaster> fresch, /usr/local/bin ?
[12:47] <IseeIsee> what would be the ideal specs of Ubuntu 6.06 ?
[12:47] <Enverex> That's because most Mac users are retards anyway and haven't been in a situation of "not" having to enter root passwords all the time
[12:47] <fresch> narfmaster, yes that is the directory the script is in
[12:47] <Jack1> does anybody know sth about how to get the amaon music files (the old codec) working with real player 10?
[12:47] <narfmaster> fresch, okay no problem :)
[12:47] <roshan_s> Enverex: thoreauputic: And so will Vista, with a worse model. Imitation is the best form of flattery
[12:47] <thoreauputic> Enverex: *sigh*
[12:47] <Jack1> didnt find sth..
[12:48] <Enverex> I'm just kinda irritated right now
[12:48] <thoreauputic> Enverex: we noticed ;-)
[12:48] <fatlip> noob question: where's fstab located?
[12:48] <Enverex> I'm never in the right apparently and I seem to be the only person that finds jumping through hoops constantly is pointless in an environment that doesn't need it
[12:48] <bimberi> fatlip: /etc/fstab
[12:48] <fatlip> thanks :)
[12:48] <roshan_s> fatlip: In the /etc/ directory
[12:48] <bimberi> fatlip: np :)
[12:48] <Flannel> Enverex: you're connected to the internet.  you need it.
[12:49] <Lynoure> Enverex: most people who are bothered by sudo just go an change their system so that it is not used.
[12:49] <thoreauputic> Enverex: you are completely free to alter the configuration of your system
[12:49] <Enverex> thoreauputic, Well I'm not am I, considering I was told I wont get any support anywhere for anything if I do
[12:50] <roshan_s> Enverex: That's because everybody who offers support thinks its a crazy idea to run as root. Switch to Linspire if you want to do that and still get support
[12:50] <thoreauputic> Enverex: because the general opinion is that sudo is a good compromise, and it;s the Ubuntu default
[12:50] <Lynoure> Enverex: Probably would still, but not on issues caused by your changes.
[12:51] <thoreauputic> Enverex: running as root affects others, not just you
[12:51] <azcazandco> hi everyone... I just borked my ubuntu install by editing xorg.conf and not I cant get in at all to uncomment my changes
[12:51] <Lynoure> ...and even on issues cause by those changes, for money.
[12:51] <Mikkas> hehe im screwed also people
[12:51] <azcazandco> was trying to get my logitech mx510 working
[12:51] <fatlip> within fstab.. where would i put -o (read only)? under options? because i have other options too
[12:51] <Mikkas> trying to get GRUB reinstalled
[12:51] <Flannel> azcazandco: ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a text login, you can then edit it (with nano) there.
[12:51] <thoreauputic> Enverex: consider the case of an unpatched vulnerablity on the internet, and you are running as root ...
[12:52] <Wizardling> I'm distinctly unimpressed this problem with 5.10 seems to be present with 6.06 as well - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75604&highlight=imac+blank+screen
[12:52] <roshan_s> azcazandco: If you can get to a command line, try running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[12:52] <azcazandco> when do I do the ctrl-alt-f1?
[12:52] <azcazandco> i cant get to a command line
[12:52] <Mikkas> can someone please give me a hand ? :)
[12:52] <Enverex> thoreauputic, everything worth keeping on my machine in in ~/ anyway, so technically the damage wouldn't be any worse as root as they would have access to the only things that matter anyway
[12:52] <narfmaster> Mikkas, :)
[12:52] <Flannel> azcazandco: once you're fully booted.  Oh, you can also, at the grub menu, boot into "recovery mode"
[12:52] <azcazandco> I have tried going to k7 recovery but it just hangs
[12:52] <Mikkas> hey narf, cheers
[12:53] <Mikkas> ya im dual booting XP and 6.06
[12:53] <doneir> Mikkas, use a livecd or rescue cd, chroot your linux install, rerun grub
[12:53] <Enverex> thoreauputic, also the chances of "being hacked" are remote as best, especially when behind a router and firewall
[12:53] <Mikkas> lost my grub
[12:53] <crazy_penguin> Good day all!
[12:53] <azcazandco> and when I try to boot k7 normal it loads all the drivers etc then hangs
[12:53] <Flannel> Mikkas: you installed windows afterwards? or what?
[12:53] <SonicChao> !grub > Mikkas
[12:53] <Dai-Galean> azcazandco:: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=187177
[12:53] <Dai-Galean> that might help
[12:54] <thoreauputic> Enverex: you missed my point: running as root potentially affects others on the net - all it takes is a vulnerablity on your box to affect others ( consider the meaning of "Ubuntu" )
[12:54] <Mikkas> afterwards kinda.. theres something wrong with my hard drive i think mayybe,,, anyway i lost my XP install and grub too.
[12:54] <Mikkas> so im in terminal...
[12:54] <Mikkas> chroot?
[12:54] <Mikkas> not working
[12:54] <Mikkas> tried su
[12:54] <Mikkas> but i dont know the admin pass
[12:54] <reZo> I'm getting a Error 15 when trying to install GRUB to /sha4 would might the problem be?
[12:54] <Enverex> thoreauputic, What would stop them from running a DOS attack or something from inside my home under my account anyway? You wouldn't need root for that
[12:54] <roshan_s> Enverex: One thing an attacker can't do w/o root privs is modify the kernel (i.e. install a rootkit)
[12:55] <Flannel> Mikkas: you might try this too : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[12:55] <Mikkas> mmmk
[12:55] <PingunZ> hi, can I ask someone a very simple python question ?
[12:55] <azcazandco> Dai-Galean: all of these suggestions are great but I can't get to a cli
[12:56] <thoreauputic> Enverex: You are flying in the face of over 35 years of Unix wisdom - I won't argue with you, but I invite you to read the history and consider why the model was invented
[12:56] <bimberi> fatlip: with the other options, comma separated, for example:   defaults,ro
[12:56] <Mikkas> yeah ive tried running rescue.. cant get it to load
[12:56] <Mikkas> said the command isnt recognised..
[12:56] <Mikkas> thus, here i am :)
[12:56] <fatlip> alright thanks :)
[12:56] <Dai-Galean> azcazandco:: ahh, you cant boot to recovery?
[12:56] <azcazandco> nope
[12:57] <Flannel> azcazandco: boot to a liveCD and mount your harddrive
[12:57] <bimberi> PingunZ: ask away, there's probably a #python channel too though
[12:57] <Enverex> I just hate repitition and this is the hight of it... it pushes one of my buttons so to speak. But remember thoreauputic, it wasn't made as a desktop OS was it...
[12:57] <bimberi> fatlip: yw :)
[12:57] <PingunZ> is there anyone with a little knowladge of python here ?
[12:57] <azcazandco> Live CD picks up my HD anyway :D
[12:57] <Mikkas> hmm i wonder what the default ubuntu livecd password is..
[12:57] <azcazandco> thats sounds like a plan Flannel
[12:57] <narfmaster> PingunZ, my knowledge is very little indeed
[12:57] <bimberi> Mikkas: there isn't one
[12:57] <roshan_s> Enverex: The OS operates at much lower level than that. The OS doesn't care if it runs GNOME or Postgres on top of it
[12:57] <thoreauputic> Enverex: why do you think MIT magic cookies were invented? And X predates Windows anyway
[12:57] <azcazandco> this all came about because either my mouse or ubuntu kept freezing
[12:57] <Mikkas> hmm i can su to root
[12:58] <Dai-Galean> <--- Is coderimpared, I just help where I can
[12:58] <Flannel> PingunZ: /join #python
[12:58] <azcazandco> so i tried to go in and reconfigure my mouse to work properly
[12:58] <bimberi> Mikkas: sudo -i     ?
[12:58] <Mikkas> whoa.
[12:58] <Mikkas> what's -i
[12:59] <Mikkas> changed to # now
[12:59] <Mikkas> was $ before..
[12:59] <bimberi> Mikkas: gets you a root login shell
[12:59] <Mikkas> nice
[01:00] <seatouch> mikechml theres no pass for ubuntu live cd .. theres on default user and you will be logged into it once the cd is loaded and booted up
[01:00] <Mikkas> im on my live cd now
[01:00] <Mikkas> luckily the net is working ;)
[01:01] <Mikkas> so ive got root now
[01:01] <Mikkas> my linux install is on
[01:01] <andyjeffries> Anyone know how I can test to see if my bittorrent is being firewalled from within Ubuntu/BitTornado?  The icon is yellow, but if I ssh to a remote host then telnet back on port 6881 I get a telnet connection.
[01:01] <seatouch> kewl :P
[01:01] <Mikkas> dev/sdb4
[01:01] <Mikkas> so im guessing grub-install /dev/sdb4
[01:01] <Mikkas> ?
[01:01] <narfmaster> andyjeffries, http://www.whatsmyip.org/ports/
[01:02] <andyjeffries> I've also got an upload rate of 20KB/s so it looks like it's somehow managed to get an outbound connection.
[01:02] <thoreauputic> question for the fuse/ sshfs experts - Is running fusermount SUID root a bad idea ( I think I know the answer but what do the wise ones think? )
[01:02] <Mikkas> Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
[01:02] <Mikkas> Maybes :)
[01:03] <Mikkas> Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device. --- hmm crap, maybe ive unmounted that partition
[01:03] <Enverex> My desktop seems to be missing the default Computer and Home icons, how do I actually get them?
[01:04] <andyjeffries> narfmaster: Thanks mate, according to that my 6881 port is open, but BitTornado still shows a yellow (firewalled) light.
[01:04] <roshan_s> Enverex: Open gconf-editor and open /apps/nautilus/desktop
[01:05] <thoreauputic> andyjeffries: my reading suggests that using a different port for bittorrent is a better idea ( for instance I use a very high port in the region of 60000 and it works fine)
[01:05] <Mikkas> wine utorrent ftw.. just have to get linux working again though :P
[01:05] <narfmaster> andyjeffries, it could be nobody has attempted to make a remote connection to you yet
[01:05] <Mikkas> so uh, installing grub.. no go sofar..
[01:05] <tanlaan> i have both unrar and unrar-free, how do I unrar a .rar file?
[01:05] <egonw_> Lynoure: ok, tried several other things meanwhile... might you have other ideas, why my machine detects network (led backside is on), but not on the hub...
[01:05] <Enverex> roshan_s, : Thanks
[01:06] <egonw_> Lynoure: it's not the cable... checked that
[01:06] <andyjeffries> narfmaster: but I'm getting 20KB/s upload?
[01:06] <roshan_s> tanlaan: You should be able to right-click on the file and say Extract
[01:06] <narfmaster> andyjeffries, what's your download?
[01:06] <tanlaan> roshan_s: nope :(
[01:07] <Dai-Galean> tanlaan:: can you double click it to open it in the archive manager
[01:07] <roshan_s> tanlaan: Are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu? What happens when you double click on the file? And are you using dapper?
[01:08] <narfmaster> andyjeffries, are you using the 1-port version of BitTornado?
[01:08] <Mikkas> hey can anyone help me re-install grub? I want to keep my linux install intact
[01:08] <Mikkas> or even lilo -- anything!
[01:08] <tanlaan> roshan_s: im using ubuntu, ive got dapper, and one sec im paste binning what it says when  i double click it
[01:08] <narfmaster> andyjeffries, this is why i use uTorrent or Azureus - no messing around with port ranges

[01:24] <Gorlist> Hi - what does APT stand for?
[01:24] <Mikkas> can i pm someone for a sec? anyone? :)
[01:24] <Corporal_Dirge> I don't use iMacs
[01:24] <Wizardling> be thankful
[01:24] <Wizardling> You just get a blank screen after the loading screen
[01:25] <doneir> Corporal_Dirge, linux works fine if you know what you're doing. Mplayer does play MP4 files by default, as for wmv videos, you have to install the w32codec package (amd64 doesn't have this option, niether does ppc due to incomatabilities, there are work arounds though)
[01:25] <roshan_s> Gorlist: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool
[01:25] <Gorlist> Thanks!
[01:25] <Mikkas> hey so anyone trust that new ntfs read write app yet?
[01:25] <Mikkas> or is it still a bit sketchy?
[01:26] <fatlip> anyone know how to load themes into gcompizthemer?
[01:26] <Wizardling> My experiences with Ubuntu so far have been a shining example of why Linux isn't ready for the masses, or even intermediate users.
[01:26] <hydroksyde> how do you find out which shared objects a binary is linked with?
[01:26] <snoops> there's gcompizthemer-themes
[01:26] <andyjeffries> narfmaster: I'm now having a go with Azureus, but it's put a warning in the bottom right of the screen that won't go away (clicking Hide does nothing).  I'm running Compiz (if that helps)
[01:26] <Mikkas> can i pm someone for a sec? anyone? :)
[01:26] <snoops> then from there you can create new ones yourself
[01:27] <Corporal_Dirge> I installed the w32codec so it kinda plays, but the framebuffer overflows, also the video and ausio go out of sync.
[01:27] <roshan_s> hydroksyde: Use the ldd command
[01:27] <narfmaster> andyjeffries, you may want to try uTorrent and see if that works better
[01:27] <hydroksyde> roshan_s, thanks
[01:27] <doneir> andyjeffries, yeah, azureus has a few bugs to say the least, it's still a good client (if bloated and written in java)
[01:27] <Mikkas> hey is WINE installed by default in 6.06?
[01:27] <Dai-Galean> Mikkas no
[01:27] <narfmaster> Mikkas, no it's in universe
[01:27] <Mikkas> ok
[01:28] <snoops> Wizardling you know, funny enough.. I would recommend it to beginners more than intermediates.. reason being the beginners don't know how to install an os.. I can get it setup for them.. then their web browsing, music listening, email habits are sorted
[01:28] <andyjeffries> doneir: What's your recommendation for a client?  (I'm reluctant to run an app through Wine unless I have to)
[01:28] <Baso> Hello, does anyone knows how to play mms:// Streams ? I HAVE Xubuntu
[01:28] <Corporal_Dirge> Problem now is MPlayer says my videocard doesn't have Xvidei support.
[01:28] <alex_> why do I have W32X86 and WIN40 in /var/lib/samba/printers ?
[01:28] <snoops> Corporal_Dirge you can choose different outputs in mplayer
[01:29] <Mikkas> whoa  777 people
[01:29] <doneir> andyjeffries, i used azereus for a very long time, but now i'm back to bittornado, it lacks quite a few features that azureus has (like queing torrents)
[01:29] <snoops> I use gl2 from video options in preferences from mplayer
[01:29] <snoops> since it supports vsync
[01:29] <narfmaster> !info gstreamer0.8-mms
[01:29] <ubotu> gstreamer0.8-mms: mms plugin for GStreamer. In repository universe, is optional. Version 0.8.12-1ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 37 kB, installed size 100 kB
[01:29] <doneir> Baso, xmms is supposed to have mms capabilities, might be a plugin though
[01:29] <Wizardling> snoops - I'd rtecommend Ubuntu to newbie level users too. If all you saw after the loading screen wasn't a blank screen.
[01:30] <roshan_s> Wizardling: Such problems are quite rare
[01:30] <alex_> why do I have W32X86 and WIN40 in /var/lib/samba/printers ?
[01:30] <snoops> Wizardling ouch sounds like your gnome confict is nicely stuffed up
[01:30] <Mikkas> its just a shame they exist
[01:30] <Wizardling> Once you get Ubuntu going - I agree it's not half bad so far as ease of use goes.

[01:30] <doneir> it's default alex
[01:30] <Wizardling> Nope.
[01:30] <Baso> I have installed gstreamer0.8-mms, even the player is buffering the stream but does not produce sound

[01:38] <snoops> Wizardling I'm willing to bet it's a resolution issue
[01:38] <Gorlist> right
[01:38] <Wizardling> it is if 5.10 is anything to go by.

[01:41] <roshan_s> Gorlist: Does the Live CD work fine if you don't try to install it?
[01:41] <Wizardling> that's right from the original bondi blue iMac through to the fourth gen tray-loading CRT iMacs
[01:41] <blup|patrick> how do i disable that dumb default friewall
[01:41] <blup|patrick> :|
[01:41] <feydin> why does azureus got mozilla-firefox as an dependency?
[01:41] <Wizardling> have not tested it with newer iMacs yet.
[01:41] <deep__> blup|patrick: Anyhow, check the menu, somewhere in apps theres a firewall :)
[01:41] <fyrestrtr> blup|patrick: there is no default firewal.
[01:42] <deep__> lol
[01:42] <roshan_s> blup|patrick: By default the firewall blocks nothing
[01:42] <blup|patrick> well.. fyrestrtr could u explain me why azurues says its firewalled?
[01:42] <Wizardling> is gradually understanding from the forums what might be the fix...
[01:42] <blup|patrick> in windows  i have setup the same ips for my network as i use in linux
[01:42] <deep__> blup|patrick: YOu dont have a router or something?
[01:42] <blup|patrick> and i use there azureus too
[01:42] <fyrestrtr> blup|patrick: because the port its trying to use is blocked somewhere.
[01:42] <blup|patrick> no
[01:43] <blup|patrick> my router is forwarding 56881 to all ips  i setup in my network
[01:43] <blup|patrick> its in linux
[01:43] <fyrestrtr> blup|patrick: ermm, you can't forward to all ips.
[01:43] <blup|patrick> i was jsut in windows an the download was within a minute about 200kb/s
[01:43] <blup|patrick> fyrestrtr: fixed ips
[01:43] <blup|patrick> and three pcs
[01:43] <blup|patrick> so i can forward to all ips in my network
[01:43] <fyrestrtr> it doesn't matter if its fixed ips or not.
[01:43] <blup|patrick> beacuase there are only 3
[01:44] <void^> blup|patrick: no, you cannot.
[01:44] <blup|patrick> 3 rules...
[01:44] <roshan_s> blup|patrick: Not to ask the obvious, but have you told Azureus to use that port on  Ubuntu?
[01:44] <fyrestrtr> forwarding is only forwarding to the first rule that you setup in the router.
[01:44] <blup|patrick> from 56881 to 56881 udp/tcp to 192.168.0.1
[01:44] <blup|patrick> from 56881 to 56881 udp/tcp to 192.168.0.2
[01:44] <blup|patrick> from 56881 to 56881 udp/tcp to 192.168.0.3
[01:44] <fyrestrtr> stop and think for a second.
[01:44] <blup|patrick> and adidionally these ports get forwarded to the local network
[01:44] <void^> blup|patrick: no matter how many rules you add for that port, it will only be forwarded to one ip, or not at all
[01:44] <blup|patrick> thats the port i setup in azueus in linux
[01:45] <blup|patrick> no dhcp
[01:45] <fyrestrtr> if I tell you -- all blue boxes go in block 1 and all blue boxes go in block 2 -- where are you going to put the blue boxes? All will go in block 1, none in block 2.
[01:45] <feydin> someone saw this before: [27.735666]  nv_sata: Primary device added / removed
[01:45] <blup|patrick> i use linksys router
[01:45] <feydin> i got massive entries in dmesg of this kind
[01:45] <blup|patrick> void^: thats the setting in my router
[01:45] <cool_nick> i am new into (gnu/linux) ubuntu, could someone help me with - which are the major logs that i am supposed to keep a look.
[01:45] <blup|patrick> well and now there is a problem between my bt client and my router
[01:46] <fyrestrtr> blup|patrick: you can only forward a port to one ip address, not all of them.
[01:46] <void^> blup|patrick: and it doesn't work that way. it doesn't work. it cannot work.
[01:46] <cool_nick>  i am new into (gnu/linux) ubuntu, could someone help me with - which are the major logs that i am
[01:46] <fyrestrtr> cool_nick: /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog for starters. Install logwatch to keep track of logs for you :)
[01:46] <blup|patrick> void^: well if thats true, why can i use azureus on 3 pcs the same time?
[01:46] <Enverex> This guide makes no sense :( It seems to assume you know how to do everything already which you obviously don't else you wouldn't be reading the guide >.<
[01:46] <blup|patrick> in windows
[01:46] <fyrestrtr> *sigh*
[01:46] <void^> blup|patrick: you can use it, it just won't work properly for incoming connections.
[01:46] <blup|patrick> but in linux it doesnt even reach 1kb?
[01:47] <blup|patrick> in windows it does *sigh*
[01:47] <void^> blup|patrick: your problem on linux is probably because you didn't read the java guide on the wiki
[01:47] <blup|patrick> which wiki
[01:47] <blup|patrick> which java guide?
[01:47] <void^> !java
[01:47] <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
[01:47] <fyrestrtr> blup|patrick: the reason it works is because bittorrent protocol chooses a random port between a range.
[01:47] <cool_nick> fyrestrtr: any other important logs?
[01:47] <blup|patrick> fyrestrtr: wrong
[01:47] <bilss_> hi
[01:47] <snoops> Wizardling having a look.. no promrises
[01:47] <blup|patrick> i use azureus
[01:47] <blup|patrick> that uses a fixed port
[01:48] <blup|patrick> i set up 56881
[01:48] <void^> blup|patrick: fixed port for incoming connections, outgoing connections aren't affected by insane forwarding rules
[01:48] <bilss_> it i have a usb cd/dvd writer connected how to amand fstab
[01:48] <blup|patrick> at the moment only one pc is active
[01:48] <blup|patrick> thats mine
[01:48] <Dai-Galean> Enverex:: that is usually how most guides are unfortunantly
[01:48] <blup|patrick> no other client should distrub
[01:48] <Enverex> Does anyone here make Ubuntu packages?
[01:48] <blup|patrick> void^: what?
[01:48] <blup|patrick> english is not my native language
[01:48] <NthDegree> Enverex, #ubuntu-motu is the chat room for the universe repo people
[01:49] <roshan_s> blup|patrick: You should remove two of the forwarding rules and leave only the one for your PC. Or use different ports for each PC and set up the clients accordingly
[01:49] <fyrestrtr> blup|patrick: you are using a *client* of the protocol. azureus is not bittorrent. Please learn how the protocol works.
[01:50] <blup|patrick> fyrestrtr: what the hell are you talking about?
[01:50] <fyrestrtr> blup|patrick: either way, your rules are causing problems. You cannot forward one port to more than one ip address at the same time.
[01:50] <blup|patrick> i want use azureus
[01:50] <blup|patrick> it works in windows
[01:50] <fyrestrtr> blup|patrick: choose a different port.
[01:50] <blup|patrick> i tried
[01:50] <gyro54> quit
[01:50] <fyrestrtr> for your linux ip address.
[01:50] <blup|patrick> default port is 23xxx
[01:50] <alex_> why do I have W32X86 and WIN40 in /var/lib/samba/printers ?
[01:50] <feydin> is there a way to display logs on the desktop?
[01:50] <blup|patrick> i switchted to 56881 coze it works in windows with that port fine
[01:50] <blup|patrick> but nothin changed
[01:50] <qwefwqef> I keep getting the error
[01:51] <blup|patrick> my ip adress t this pc is 192.168.1.2
[01:51] <qwefwqef> that "Certain package has no installation candidate"
[01:51] <qwefwqef> when I try to install it via sudo apt-get
[01:51] <qwefwqef> any ideas what I should do?
[01:51] <blup|patrick> and 56881 is forwarded to this ip
[01:51] <blup|patrick> so .. there must be smth blocking that port from inside linux
[01:51] <Just|Me> could someone help me?
[01:51] <fyrestrtr> blup|patrick: no, its forwarded to the first ip listed in your rules.
[01:51] <AskHL> I want to remove linux-restricted-modules in order to reinstall the driver for my ATI card (following a guide on the ubuntu forums), however apt-get remove complains that it has to overwrite a file, libGL.so.1, with another file (libGL.so.1.xlibmesa), then quits. I can do the overwrite manually, but don't know whether it is wise.
[01:52] <roshan_s> blup|patrick: You need to make sure there are no other rules regarding that port on your router
[01:52] <Just|Me> when i try to install ubuntu 6.06 i get a black screen
[01:52] <blup|patrick> first rule for azureus?
[01:52] <NthDegree> Just|Me don't ask for help ask the question
[01:52] <Just|Me> :D
[01:52] <fyrestrtr> blup|patrick: again ... you ... cannot ... forward ... one ... port ... to ... more ... than ... one ... ip ... address.
[01:52] <Just|Me> i'm new to ubuntu sorry
[01:52] <NthDegree> Just|Me, like in a support channel no-one is gonna help you :p
[01:52] <mcquaid> how do i verify which source is providing a package?
[01:52] <AskHL> So should I overwrite that file which it complains about in the install process or will that just wreck whatever is wrong even more?
[01:52] <snoops> Wizardling sorry not having much luck at all :(
[01:52] <qwefwqef> help!!
[01:52] <fyrestrtr> blup|patrick: there is nothing inside linux that is blocking your port. Your router is only forwarding it to the first ip in your ruleset.
[01:52] <jrib> mcquaid: apt-cache policy package
[01:53] <Just|Me> i already asked my question :P so pls anwser ;D
[01:53] <jrib> Just|Me: you may want to try the alternate install cd instead
[01:53] <fyrestrtr> qwefwqef: what are you trying to install?
[01:53] <roshan_s> mcquaid: apt-cache policy pkg or apt-cache madison pkg
[01:53] <Just|Me> which alternate?
[01:53] <Gorlist> whats the apt command to download the desktop for server version?
[01:53] <mcquaid> roshan_s, jrib thx
[01:53] <NthDegree> hmmmm, I may not have been here when you originally asked the question Just|Me
[01:53] <fyrestrtr> Gorlist: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop (for gnome) kubuntu-desktop (kde)
[01:53] <afief> Do i need to add extra repositories to install XGL as it says in the Wiki?
[01:54] <Gorlist> thank you :)
[01:54] <fyrestrtr> afief: yes.
[01:54] <snoops> Gorlist depends which desktop you want.. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop for instance.. or sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop etc
[01:54] <qwefwqef> fyrestrtr, E: Package build-essential has no installation candidate
[01:54] <fyrestrtr> !info build-essential
[01:54] <ubotu> build-essential: informational list of build-essential packages. In repository main, is optional. Version 11.1 (dapper), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB
[01:54] <afief> fyrestrtr: why? i have become quite anxious of adding none-ubuntu repositories
[01:54] <Gorlist> can you have more than one desktop at the time
[01:54] <fyrestrtr> qwefwqef: sudo apt-get update then try it again.
[01:54] <Gorlist> so you could swap between to see what they are like?
[01:55] <fyrestrtr> afief: because xgl is not officially supported by ubuntu. Its very beta software.
[01:55] <ambient_sky> nix
[01:55] <Just|Me> if i try to install ubuntu, i will get a black screen
[01:55] <krism> Just|Me: have you tried the alternate cd?
[01:55] <Just|Me> ^which alternate?
[01:55] <NthDegree> Just|Me the desktop CD is rubbish IMO
[01:55] <Gorlist> what does the alternate cd do?
[01:56] <krism> Just|Me: on the ubuntu download site. it has "alternate" in the name
[01:56] <krism> Gorlist: text based installer
[01:56] <Gorlist> i see
[01:56] <Just|Me> k and what is the difference?
[01:56] <NthDegree> grab the alternate CD as it is text based and was the original before the new "desktop" CD was made
[01:56] <krism> Just|Me: text based installer.
[01:56] <fyrestrtr> Just|Me: more choices for installation.
[01:56] <kkaisare> NthDegree: Why do you consider the desktop CD rubbish?
[01:56] <alex_> why do I have W32X86 and WIN40 in /var/lib/samba/printers ?
[01:56] <Just|Me> ah k, but you can also make a text based installation with the original
[01:56] <Wizardling> Is a list of Macs Ubuntu is known to work with maintained anywhere?
[01:56] <krism> Just|Me: 6.06?
[01:56] <Just|Me> -->safe graphics mode?
[01:56] <Just|Me> ja
[01:57] <krism> Just|Me: no. safe graphics mode != text mode
[01:57] <roshan_s> alex_ probably something related to compatibility with Windows printers
[01:57] <NthDegree> kkaisare, doesn't boot on my main PC, my old PC, my friends PCs
[01:57] <Just|Me> ah ok :D
[01:57] <Just|Me> i will try it thank you ;)
[01:57] <krism> Just|Me: good luck :)
[01:57] <fyrestrtr> alex_: why do you ask?
[01:57] <krism> Just|Me: did you try safe graphics mode though?
[01:57] <Just|Me> yeah i did
[01:57] <krism> Just|Me: what video card do you have?
[01:57] <Just|Me> 700 mb again -.- :D
[01:57] <fyrestrtr> NthDegree: sounds like a bad burn. Works here fine on 6 machines.
[01:57] <Just|Me> 5600 atm
[01:57] <Just|Me> geforce
[01:58] <Just|Me> i heard that 6600 users have problems
[01:58] <krism> Just|Me: hmm. haven't usually had problems with nvidia cards. do you happen to have more than one video card? (on board?)
[01:58] <roshan_s> Just|Me: I use a 6600GT without problems
[01:58] <Just|Me> no
[01:58] <krism> Just|Me: i have a 6600gt + a 5200fx, no trouble ;)
[01:58] <Just|Me> lol
[01:58] <fyrestrtr> I have 6500 no issues (xgl works great!)
[01:58] <krism> Just|Me: ah, okay. give the text installer a try
[01:58] <sonny> i want to upgrade the version5.10 to version 6.06 how can i do?
[01:58] <Just|Me> ok thanks ;)
[01:58] <fyrestrtr> !upgrade > sonny
[01:59] <roshan_s> Just|Me: Which card do you have exactly?
[01:59] <Just|Me> very nice community
[01:59] <NthDegree> lol
[01:59] <alex_> roshan_s, fyrestrtr : because i want to share my pritner via samba, and the smb.conf use  /var/lib/samba/printers
[01:59] <sonny> only the command "upgrade"?
[01:59] <Just|Me> ups, it's a 5700
[01:59] <fyrestrtr> !upgrade
[01:59] <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.
[01:59] <Gorlist> no ChanServ should have sent a message
[01:59] <roshan_s> alex_:  I'm sorry I can't help you. I don't have a printer
[01:59] <Gorlist> to show you how to upgrade :)
[02:00] <mcquaid> i asked the question about verifying sources as i was a little lazy when the last updates to dapper came out before it went official and wanted to update them now
[02:00] <Just|Me> my 6600 gt is broken so i lend it
[02:00] <qwefwqef> fyrestrtr, wow - why did that work? I updated like under 24h ago?
[02:00] <krism> !nvidia > krism
[02:00] <fyrestrtr> qwefwqef: probably your mirror was not in sync.
[02:00] <krism> blast.
[02:00] <krism> !nvidia > just|me
[02:00] <mcquaid> but i'm seeing even more updates than i think i should. for ex. apt-cache policy epiphany-browser shows:
[02:00] <qwefwqef> ic, ty
[02:01] <krism> Just|Me: once you get it installed, might want to follow that guide :)
[02:01] <mcquaid>  2.14.2.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/main Packages
[02:01] <Just|Me> thanks krism
[02:01] <mcquaid> 2.14.1.1-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Packages
[02:01] <roshan_s> Just|Me: I ask because I had problems with the default nv driver with an XFX 6600GT but not a Gainward 6600GT. Both work fine after installing the nvidia driver but the former doesn't start X on a clean install
[02:01] <Just|Me> i hate that proprietary shit by nvidia and ati
[02:01] <krism> welcome to the club :/
[02:01] <mcquaid> why is archive.ubuntu.com showing 2.14.2 ?  when i seach packages.ubuntu.com it's 2.14.1 listed
[02:01] <fyrestrtr> nvidia's "shit" is better than ati's
[02:01] <J_P> hi all
[02:01] <bla|patrick> re
[02:01] <Just|Me> yeah, ati is very shit :D
[02:02] <Just|Me> they are bund to microsoft
[02:02] <bla|patrick> Just|Me: that driver shit in repos of dapper is broken
[02:02] <bla|patrick> i hate outdated driver shit :|
[02:02] <Seveas> bla|patrick, I hat epeople who swear in here...
[02:02] <Just|Me> thats why i use nvidia
[02:02] <J_P> hi all
[02:02] <Dai-Galean> ahh bugger nothing for the X-FI till 2007 blah
[02:03] <afief_> fyrestrtr: so adding xgl won't give me trouble managing my packages? last time i had great trouble because of all the extra repos
[02:03] <Ng> !language
[02:03] <krism|work> Seveas: what if your name is considered a swear word in my language?
[02:03] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[02:03] <bla|patrick> Seveas: excuse me?
[02:03] <bla|patrick> ah :D
[02:03] <Seveas> krism|work, then I'd want to see a dictionary 
[02:03] <Just|Me> are the text mode ones also known as dapper?
[02:04] <krism|work> Just|Me: yeppers
[02:04] <roshan_s> mcquaid: 2.14.2 was released on dapper-updates, not on the base dapper
[02:04] <Just|Me> k
[02:04] <Wizardling> I find it weird there's no link back to www.ubuntu.com from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions for example
[02:04] <bla|patrick> fyrestrtr: i have setup a new port for azureus, and set up a new fixed ip
[02:04] <afief_> Will adding the XGL repositories give me trouble managing my packages?
[02:04] <mcquaid> roshan_s, ya just realized that. early in the moring
[02:04] <Wizardling> not that it's hard to type it in again, but still.
[02:04] <Seveas> Wizardling, file a bug. launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-website/+filebug
[02:04] <bla|patrick> now there ist 58888 to 58888 udp / tcp to 192.168.1.10
[02:04] <mcquaid> roshan_s, but packages.ubuntu.com doesn't reflect this anywhere?
[02:04] <bla|patrick> now dl is slightly faster
[02:04] <bla|patrick> but i still have no upload :|
[02:04] <afief_> !xgl
[02:04] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[02:05] <mcquaid> cause i always thought i could go by that site knowing which is the latest in dapper
[02:05] <Just|Me> are these dapper ones on the official mirrors?
[02:05] <bla|patrick> can u explain me why there is now upload if smthing inside ubuntu doesn block connections from the outside to azurues?
[02:05] <Dai-Galean> hmm isn't XGL+compiz very early beta?
[02:05] <snoops> also known has alpha Dai-Galean
[02:05] <bla|patrick> it works fine here
[02:05] <bla|patrick> even with ati
[02:05] <bla|patrick> but if u use ati i recommend the latest driver
[02:06] <roshan_s> mcquaid: That's strange. packages.u.c doesn't seem to be tracking dapper-updates. Probably a mistake somewhere
[02:06] <bla|patrick> that one in ubuntus repos is broken with the latest versions
[02:06] <bla|patrick> slow and produces graphic problems
[02:06] <snoops> it's very alpha - meaning LOTS of features are constantly being added and refined, and many bug fixes
[02:06] <afief_> bla|patrick: yup, worked with my ati card too, and has impressed many infidel windows users
[02:06] <mcquaid> roshan_s, ya kinda weird
[02:06] <mcquaid> it was throwing me off a sec
[02:06] <bla|patrick> afief_: going back to windows for gaming and i miss it :P
[02:07] <bla|patrick> so can any body now seriously help me :(
[02:07] <bla|patrick> arguing against me doesnt help me :(
[02:07] <afief_> bla|patrick: that's about the only thing windows is good for. but with Tremulous i don't care so much anymore. you should try it
[02:08] <bla|patrick> whats Tremoulous
[02:08] <bla|patrick> ah that shooter
[02:08] <bla|patrick> i dont play shooter
[02:08] <Dai-Galean> Games and Doing graphics I have found the only use for windows as the moment
[02:08] <afief_> bla|patrick: RTS+Shooter combined
[02:08] <bla|patrick> more like civilization4 and galciv2
[02:09] <bla|patrick> and playing with xgl in the background is evil :|
[02:09] <afief_> bla|patrick: space empires beats civ any time of the day for me
[02:09] <afief_> evil? worked fine with me, but you can always log into an XGL free session
[02:10] <bla|patrick> i actually haven figured out how to play while xgl is in the background
[02:10] <afief_> what games gave you problems?
[02:10] <Wizardling> is there an FTP down site or mirrors for Xubuntu?
[02:10] <bla|patrick> afief: havent tried much... but
[02:10] <kbrooks> i have a problem
[02:10] <Wizardling> *download
[02:10] <kbrooks> no, a pet peeve
[02:10] <bla|patrick> as long as xgl runs i have no proper opengl acceleration in games
[02:11] <bla|patrick> fyrestrtr: tell me, why do i have no upload
[02:11] <afief_> bla|patrick, weird, i played quite a few games that use xgl and they work flawlessly
[02:11] <bla|patrick> u said if i reconfigure it
[02:11] <sonny> i want to display the ubuntu version which command could i use?
[02:11] <bla|patrick> there should be no problems, coze theere is no firewall active in linux
[02:11] <bla|patrick> BUT its still not working
[02:11] <Kibou> "games that use xgl"
[02:12] <kbrooks> (quoted from a user on ubuntu forums who replied to a post, and snipped) "but the reason why i started using linux in the first place was because ... has practically 0 security issues."
[02:12] <void^> bla|patrick: what does `java -version` say?
[02:12] <bla|patrick> afief: its opengl that games use
[02:12] <telmich> kbrooks: compaired with windos, it is true
[02:12] <kbrooks> does linux REALLY have ZERO security issues?
[02:12] <roshan_s> sonny: How about System > About Ubuntu? Or cat /etc/lsb-release

[02:12] <afief_> bla|patrick, sorry typo
[02:12] <telmich> kbrooks: no os does have that
[02:12] <kbrooks> telmich: what about the security updates?
[02:12] <void^> bla|patrick: and you are surprised that it doesn't work?
[02:12] <bla|patrick> why?
[02:12] <Wizardling> No FTP download of ISO images?
[02:12] <kbrooks> telmich: none at all?
[02:12] <telmich> kbrooks: setup a win2k3 server, put it into the internet, wait 5 minutes
[02:12] <Howitzer> Error "I/O error" while copying "/media/cdr...(3210).avi".   ==> what does this mean?
[02:12] <void^> !java >  bla|patrick
[02:13] <sonny> thanks
[02:13] <telmich> kbrooks: do the same with suse 11/94
[02:13] <Wizardling> The http download is painfully slow
[02:13] <bla|patrick> i have sun java on my pc
[02:13] <bla|patrick> but i dont know how to acitvate it
[02:13] <telmich> kbrooks: there are security updates for every modern linux distro
[02:13] <bla|patrick> ubuntu still uses that crappy version from the repos
[02:13] <void^> bla|patrick: ok, if you cannot read the wiki: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[02:13] <mjr> Howitzer, that your media is probably faulty. Possibly also the drive may have some problems.
[02:13] <bla|patrick> which wiki?
[02:13] <Howitzer> damnit
[02:14] <Howitzer> that means the dvd is screwed :(
[02:14] <void^> bla|patrick: the one i told you about half an hour ago.
[02:14] <roshan_s> kbrooks: The key word is "practically"
[02:14] <Corporal_Dirge> Um, why doesn't Image viewer play gifs?
[02:14] <maswan> Wizardling: Perhaps you should try a different download site then? Some of the mirrors might offter FTP, but that's just slower than HTTP in almost all cases.
[02:14] <Howitzer> damnit
[02:14] <bla|patrick> ok selected java 1.4.0
[02:14] <bla|patrick> ok selected java 1.4.0
[02:14] <bla|patrick> ok selected java 1.5.0-sun
[02:14] <roshan_s> void^: bla|patrick: update-java-alternatives might be more user-friendly
[02:14] <Howitzer> but it worked fine in Kubuntu a week ago :/
[02:15] <bla|patrick> whats next?
[02:15] <bla|patrick> void^: i dont have the link anymore... sorry
[02:15] <bla|patrick> opera doesnt log sessions
[02:15] <Corporal_Dirge> bla|patrick, Do you want sun java 5?
[02:15] <bla|patrick> if i close it ... that stuff islost
[02:15] <bla|patrick> i have it alreay installed
[02:15] <bla|patrick> how do i check if its active now?
[02:15] <Dai-Galean> Would there happen to be a really good server install How to out going.
[02:15] <void^> bla|patrick: restart azureus, check in help>about azureus

[02:16] <Wizardling> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Releases?action=show&redirect=XubuntuReleases
[02:16] <Wizardling> they're all http
[02:16] <llslim> i loaded the liveCd for server, and went through "install to disk" when it gets to the "partitioner" screen it just reboots. is there anything special i have to do to get "partitioner" working?
[02:16] <Wizardling> and slow
[02:17] <bla|patrick> weired
[02:17] <afief_> llslim: use the alternative CD, much better
[02:17] <bla|patrick> no i get a prompt swt library for gtk 3232 should be installed
[02:17] <bla|patrick> i downloaded it no the 5th time, let it install but still azureus prompts that again and again
[02:17] <bla|patrick> any idea whats the meaning of this
[02:17] <bla|patrick> why cant it update that library?
[02:18] <fyrestrtr> bla|patrick: sudo apt-get install azureus
[02:18] <roshan_s> bla|patrick: sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-1.5.0-sun
[02:18] <bla|patrick> i have java sun working
[02:18] <bla|patrick> and i have azurues working
[02:18] <bla|patrick> thx
[02:18] <Wizardling> ah, the second europe mirroe seems to be reasonably fast, compared to the rest :-)
[02:18] <llslim> afief_: alternative cd is much better than server, why is that just curious on your opinion?
[02:18] <void^> bla|patrick: because your user account doesn't have permissions to overwrite those files on ubuntu
[02:18] <bla|patrick> and that version the repos is broken in ubuntu too..
[02:19] <bla|patrick> void^: i started azureus as superuser
[02:19] <bla|patrick> with sudo
[02:19] <bla|patrick> so that i could install those updates
[02:19] <bla|patrick> the others got installed
[02:19] <bla|patrick> taht libswt stuff doesnt
[02:19] <fyrestrtr> the default azureus is not broken, just installed it and its running fine.
[02:19] <jrib> !enter
[02:19] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[02:19] <bla|patrick> it still appears ech start :|
[02:19] <bla|patrick> fyrestrtr: 2.4.0.2 has a bug
[02:19] <void^> bla|patrick: probably messed up due to different installation locations. that autoupdater wasn't really made with unix systems in mind.
[02:20] <afief_> llslim: it's more stable, didn't give me as much trouble as the liveCD
[02:20] <bla|patrick> if that notify message apears on the down left u cant make it hide
[02:20] <bla|patrick> that buttons dont work
[02:20] <bla|patrick> i have 2.4.0.3 here
[02:20] <bla|patrick> that beta works fine
[02:20] <jrib> bla|patrick: please don't use enter as punctuation
[02:20] <void^> bla|patrick: i'd recommend installing the .tar.gz from azureus.sf.net in your home directory, update to cvs, and autoupdate will work too
[02:20] <llslim> afief_: ok thanks i will try it
[02:20] <bla|patrick> void^: i did update my cvs...
[02:21] <bla|patrick> its simply that libswt message that i cant solve
[02:21] <_BASO_> sorry for repeating: I just installed Xubuntu default system that has only Xfmedia player, I want to play mms:// radio stream. what should I install?
[02:21] <b14ck> how can i uninstall programs?
[02:21] <jrib> _BASO_: mplayer with w32codecs works well for me
[02:21] <jrib> b14ck: how did you install it?
[02:21] <dromen> what sort of changes can i make to my partitions without messing up grub?
[02:21] <_BASO_> jrib how can I get the mplayer and the codecs?
[02:22] <b14ck> jrib: sude apt-get install XXXXXXX
[02:22] <Lobster> b14ck, if you have them installed with apt-get  then type sudo apt-get remove application
[02:22] <b14ck> Lobster:  yeah thanx :D
[02:22] <bla|patrick> well what do i have to do now?
[02:22] <Lobster> _BASO_, sudo apt-cache search mplayer
[02:22] <bla|patrick> where do i have to place those libswt stuff?
[02:22] <snorre> Can anyone please help me inserting the SCSI module in a kernel?
[02:22] <george_looney> does vga=771 enable the framebuffer?
[02:22] <jrib> _BASO_: mplayer is in the multiverse repository, use synaptic or apt-get to install it.  w32codecs I will have the bot send you info for
[02:23] <jrib> !multiverse > _BASO_
[02:23] <jrib> !w32codecs _BASO_
[02:23] <ubotu> I know nothing about w32codecs _BASO_ - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:23] <jrib> !w32codecs > _BASO_
[02:23] <b14ck> Lobster: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[02:23] <jman_> hi all I just installed kubuntu and I am getting this message when i try to boot from the HDD: "Invalid compressed format kernal Panic- Not synching VFS: Unable to mount root fs on Unknown block (0,0)"
[02:23] <void^> bla|patrick: same directory where the current libswt*so files are.
[02:23] <bla|patrick> and where are they?
[02:23] <Lobster> then run "dpkg --configure -a"
[02:23] <bla|patrick> i tried to find them with ubuntus searchtool
[02:24] <bla|patrick> but that even find a textfile with that name i created in my user space
[02:24] <_BASO_> Mplayer = KMplayer ?
[02:24] <bla|patrick> so i dont know how to find those files :|
[02:24] <george_looney> !framebuffer
[02:24] <ubotu> I know nothing about framebuffer - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:24] <bla|patrick> but thats the next problem... first i have to solve azureus
[02:25] <void^> bla|patrick: find /usr -name "libswt*so"
[02:25] <george_looney> how do I enable framebuffer mode?
[02:25] <george_looney> do I have to give both "vga=771" and "video=vesafb:800x600"????
[02:25] <jrib> _BASO_: no, not the same
[02:25] <b14ck> Lobster:  ty
[02:26] <Lobster> i think KMplaver is only a GUI for KDE
[02:26] <jrib> _BASO_: mplayer is the name of the package for mplayer
[02:26] <Lobster> but if you install it you will aomatically install the mplayer-files
[02:28] <Tensegrity> My wired ethernet interface is renamed almost every time I reboot (eth1/eth2).  Is there a way to stop this?
[02:29] <bla|patrick> do i have to replace them or can i simply add them there?
[02:29] <Ayabara> I'm a bit tired of the default ubuntu theme. Any tips on how to pimp my dapper desktop?
[02:29] <Gullstad> How disable a user temp?
[02:29] <ltibor65> Hi guys! Do Ubuntu mount the filesystem of BSD? I have also PC BSD on my computer, But Dapper has problem to know its filesystem and to mount it, and X cannot start.
[02:29] <jrib> !themes > Ayabara
[02:30] <Ayabara> jrib: thanks
[02:30] <Ayabara> anyone here using utorrent under wine? is it any good?
[02:30] <roshan_s> Gullstad: sudo passwd -l username
[02:30] <bla|patrick> well
[02:30] <bla|patrick> azureus still promtps to install taht file :|
[02:31] <ltibor65> What kind of filesystem does BSD have?
[02:31] <roshan_s> Gullstad: And sudo passwd -u username to unlock
[02:31] <waky> :O bla|patrick
[02:31] <Gullstad> thanks roshan_s
[02:31] <void^> bla|patrick: replace the swt.jar with a new version, copy new swt libs to where the old libs are. or just install azureus in your home directory and it will work automagically
[02:32] <roshan_s> Gullstad: yw
[02:32] <mattyv> quick q, in my hosts.allow how would i type the ip so that eg 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.10 are all allowed, rather than making a separate entry for each?

[02:36] <gentoomeo> 'Morning
[02:36] <cipi604> sonny, i think you don't have the specified folder existent... so it can't copy
[02:36] <cipi604> make it yourself
[02:36] <bla|patrick> void^: there are more libswts in that archive i downloades as in that usr-space folder
[02:36] <Psy> cipi604, i deactivated it and activate it again and it still says disconnected
[02:36] <cipi604> if you know his name
[02:36] <bla|patrick> doesnt matter where i put them?
[02:36] <gentoomeo> Anyone of you has ever tried to install PGPLOT libraries on Dapper?
[02:37] <mattyv> anyone?
[02:37] <cipi604> Psy,  cable... is ok?
[02:37] <Psy> yep, tried 2
[02:37] <Psy> on 2 different switches too
[02:37] <cipi604> :))
[02:38] <ccamacho> I am having some troubles to get my i945 card working properly in Ubuntu... the problem is that the resolution does not fit in the screen (LCD)
[02:39] <george_looney> anyone know how do I enable FrameBuffer to play videos with Mplayer???
[02:40] <fyrestrtr> what rss readers do people recommend?
[02:40] <default> hi
[02:40] <gentoomeo> The PGPLOT libraries are in the multiverse repo but have ten thousands broken dependencies...
[02:41] <fyrestrtr> ccamacho: install 915resolution package from apt
[02:41] <ccamacho> fyrestrtr: yes I did it
[02:41] <george_looney> hey default
[02:42] <Psy> ok so my ethernet port on laptop dont work. anywhere with a guide on how to configure a wireless pcmcia card in ubuntu?
[02:42] <Ayabara> downloading themes for ubuntu now. is it gdm themes I'm looking for?
[02:42] <roshan_s> Ayabara: Try gnome-art-manager
[02:42] <default> small question: when monitoring the cpu load of my Ubuntu 6.06 I see that the load level is always between 80 and 100% but there are no processes that generate this load except Xorg which makes use of 40 to 50% - is that normal?
[02:42] <cool_nick> george_looney: press d
[02:43] <jrib> Ayabara: gdm themes are for the login screen, look for gtk 2.x on gnome-look.org
[02:43] <ccamacho> default: memory is kind of difficult thing...
[02:43] <lassegs> hi. after i installed XGL, and played with it a little, then gave it up, my dual headed screen broke. Ive tryed running 'sudo aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=left', but the only time it works is im in the GDM, and there it is --screen-layout=right for some reason. S when im logging in its gone. Anyone know what im doing wrong?
[02:43] <george_looney> d
[02:43] <Ayabara> jrib: ok, thanks again
[02:43] <george_looney> cool_nick: what? how? where?
[02:43] <ccamacho> default: try htop
[02:44] <_BASO_> how can I monitor the CPU Temperature?
[02:44] <ccamacho> and let me know how it looks
[02:44] <Ayabara> roshan_s: is it in the repos?
[02:44] <cool_nick> george_looney: while playin a video, you have to do it everytime
[02:44] <roshan_s> Ayabara: Yes. It's called gnome-art
[02:44] <george_looney> cool_nick: put vga=771 in grub
[02:45] <Ayabara> roshan_s: thx. checking it out now
[02:45] <george_looney> cool_nick: will that work?
[02:45] <george_looney> cool_nick: do I have framebuffer with vga=771?
[02:46] <feydin> hi, i cant install compiz-gnome under my kubuntu (amd64) eh tells me, compiz: depends on libsvg-cairo (>= 0.1.6) but 0.1.5-0 should be installed
[02:46] <feydin> what can i do?
[02:46] <IseeIsee> guys help me out in something, I wanna do the following on whichever linux system:
[02:46] <ccamacho> _BASO_: you need to enable in the kernel
[02:46] <lassegs> feydin: #ubuntu-xgl
[02:46] <roshan_s> feydin: I ran into the same problem. The amd64 packages are hopelessly out of shape
[02:46] <bla|patrick> void^: now azureus doesnt start anymore
[02:46] <ccamacho> and later just look for some app to do it
[02:46] <cool_nick> george_looney: i tried pressing d. . . no idea bout vga=771 :(
[02:46] <IseeIsee> install JDK, java wireless toolkit, browse internet/email
[02:47] <feydin> roshan_s, oh... maybe cvs version is better?
[02:47] <default> ccamacho: thanks - now I can see a similar development, maybe I'll try a different window manager (e.g. xfce)
[02:47] <IseeIsee> but my system is p2 233 96mb 10gb, which distro should I install ?
[02:47] <george_looney> cool_nick: mplayer says can't find fbdev
[02:47] <ccamacho> ok
[02:47] <roshan_s> feydin: Don't know. I tried downloading all the source packages and compiling them myself in a pbuilder. Still didn't work. I got the packages but compiz doesn't work
[02:47] <george_looney> cool_nick: I will try certain combinations and come back later
[02:47] <cool_nick> george_looney: ok
[02:47] <lassegs> IseeIsee: how about debian?
[02:48] <IseeIsee> I don't know, you tell me
[02:48] <george_looney> cool_nick: thanks for the "d" tip
[02:48] <feydin> roshan_s, damn :(
[02:48] <IseeIsee> I've never used any linux distro except Ubuntu 4.01 (that was also for few days)
[02:48] <ccamacho> default:  wmaker is light, and fluxbox as well
[02:48] <roshan_s> feydin: I spent a good day on that. I've given up for now
[02:48] <IseeIsee> ccamacho but for that I need to install ubuntu base first, right ?
[02:48] <jstew> Hi. I just upgraded to dapper and my cups settings for my network printer didn't make it. When I change the settings in System->Administration, it works but when I log off the settings are blown away again. How do I fix it?
[02:49] <robkinyon> I installed Perl 5.8.7, but when I went to build something that required compilation, gcc wasn't installed
[02:49] <roshan_s> feydin: I wanted Compiz just to show to someone, since I don't use it myself
[02:49] <feydin> roshan_s, ok so we have to wait i guess. :(
[02:49] <lassegs> what do i do in this channel if noone answers my questions? repeat?
[02:49] <robkinyon> when I installed gcc, it didn't install the gcc or cc symlinks
[02:49] <robkinyon> so, i had to symlink them myself
[02:49] <ccamacho> IseeIsee: to do what?
[02:49] <gdb> roshan_s: $ sudo aptitude install build-essential
[02:49] <robkinyon> what step did I miss?
[02:49] <jrib> lassegs: you can repeat after a while, you can also try other support options
[02:49] <gdb> er
[02:49] <gdb> robkinyon: $ sudo aptitude install build-essential
[02:49] <jrib> !support > lassegs
[02:50] <someothernick__> anyone know how to see running processes?
[02:50] <default> ccamacho: ok, will try those...strange, I'm running a Thinkad R52 with 1.8Ghz / approx. 1.gGb ram, thought it would be enough ;-)
[02:50] <robkinyon> gdb: Where is that documented?
[02:50] <Tomatix> ps -A
[02:50] <gdb> someothernick__: ps -ef
[02:50] <someothernick__> ty
[02:50] <feydin> why does azureus got mozilla-firefox as an dependency?
[02:50] <default> 1.5
[02:50] <robkinyon> gdb: I went with the synaptic manager and it didn't say anything about that
[02:50] <ccamacho> default: it should be
[02:50] <malachi> Anyone know how to get the Windows Key to work as a shortcut?
[02:50] <roshan_s> gdb: I got past all that :-) I set up a pbuilder, but then had to fix build-deps on the source packages to get them to compile. The compiled packages don't work. Evidently the original author of the source packages never compiled them in a chroot
[02:51] <pianoboy3333> how can I configure a sound card?
[02:51] <gdb> robkinyon: To be honest, I'm not sure.  I found out about it in here, but I do recall seeing it somewhere on the wiki.  It's something that does need to be better documented, yes.
[02:51] <sal> hallo
[02:51] <bla|patrick> void^: it didnt worked
[02:51] <robkinyon> gdb: Or, better yet, just install it as part of the install process
[02:51] <someothernick__> gdb: how could i terminate some?
[02:51] <sal> i would lie to know to rotate my screen is there any program
[02:51] <void^> bla|patrick: pastebin the error message
[02:51] <IseeIsee> lassegs so what do you think, which distro should I go for ?
[02:51] <bla|patrick> azureus still uses the old files and promtos to install the new ones which are in there
[02:52] <roshan_s> feydin: That's one of the mysteries of life :-) You'll just have to live with it if you want azureus from the repos
[02:52] <b14ck> Lobster:  dude i dpkg and when i login the restricted drivers won't load and X won't start. sais it need to be gonfiguret something in /etc/x11/xorg.cfg
[02:52] <gdb> someothernick__: kill $PID - where $PID is the process ID listed in the second column of the output of that command.
[02:52] <feydin> roshan_s, hehe ok :)
[02:52] <bla|patrick> that files that didnt mattered... i placed them back i in usr/jni
[02:52] <someothernick__> gdb: ty :)
[02:52] <bla|patrick> after taht azurues started but still asks for thos new files
[02:53] <Lobster> hmmm... dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:53] <gdb> robkinyon: That's currently being discussed on the ubuntu-dev mailing list.  It's been proposed by Matt Zimmerman, the CTO of Canonical.  My personal opinion is that it's unnecessary and simply needs to be better documented.
[02:53] <t-thing> Hi. I've made a small python script and I want to package it. What is the right to way to do it? From scratch, debhelper or CDBS? I've heard something about how the 'normal' process wouldn't be convienent or something for python script packaging. Tips?
[02:53] <gdb> someothernick__: Sure thing!
[02:53] <Infern0o> Ok, time for a second day of WiFi sex
[02:53] <Infern0o> :)
[02:53] <IseeIsee> I put in the CD
[02:53] <Lobster> there you can enable and disable the drivers...
[02:53] <IseeIsee> how can I boot as server ?
[02:53] <IseeIsee> which option should I select ?
[02:53] <b14ck> Lobster:  and how can i enable them?
[02:54] <void^> bla|patrick: it's not about randomly placing files somewhere. you replace the swt.jar with a new version, and throw all new libraries at the java.libarary.path, which is where your old swt libs are
[02:54] <Dirge2> bla|patrick, Do you have any issues with Azures not removing the popups after you click hide?
[02:54] <bla|patrick> ja i had
[02:54] <bla|patrick> then i installed the beta

[02:55] <Dirge2> where do I get thaat?
[02:55] <gentoomeo> Goodbye to all!!
[02:55] <bla|patrick> azureus.sf.net
[02:55] <bla|patrick> and then in the menubar in italic beta
[02:55] <bla|patrick> http://azureus.sourceforge.net/index_CVS.php
[02:56] <bla|patrick> void^: what do i have to place where?
[02:56] <sal> Hello, i dont know so well about it, it is possible to ask, how i can change my monitor from horizontal into vertical view?
[02:57] <roshan_s> sal: Do you have an nvidia graphics card?
[02:58] <IseeIsee> how do I server boot ?
[02:58] <sal> No, think its ATI, IseeIsee
[02:58] <void^> bla|patrick: ... just install azureus in your home directory. i'm not going to play the guess-where-your-files-are game.
[02:58] <sal> Sorry, @roshan_s
[02:58] <IseeIsee> sal: ATI ?
[02:58] <sal> Yes?!
[02:58] <bla|patrick> void^: and how do i do that?
[02:59] <IseeIsee> what is ATI ?
[02:59] <void^> bla|patrick: azureu.sf.net, download the linux tar.gz, extract, get the cvs, use autoupdate
[02:59] <roshan_s> sal: Does running the "xrandr" command say anything about rotations?
[02:59] <bla|patrick> void^: ok
[02:59] <compengi> does anyone has canon i350 drivers?
[02:59] <sal> Sori shall write xrandr into the terminal console?
[02:59] <bla|patrick> void^: on alternative: can u give me the command that allows programms started by azureus to modify files
[02:59] <roshan_s> sal: Yes
[03:00] <bla|patrick> i think azureus runs in root, but 3rd application dont have those rights
[03:00] <bla|patrick> thats why the autoupdater fails i guess
[03:00] <lassegs> hi. after i installed XGL, and played with it a little, then gave it up, my dual headed screen broke. Ive tryed running 'sudo aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=left', but the only time it works is im in the GDM, and there it is --screen-layout=right for some reason. So when im logging in its gone. Anyone know what im doing wrong?
[03:00] <afief> I have already messed up my system twice trying to install my ATI driver. is there away someone could help me do it remotely(AKA windows remote assistant?)
[03:00] <sal> @roshan_s: it says:

[03:01] <roshan_s> sal: Keep that in mind in future :-)
[03:01] <sal> what?
[03:01] <bla|patrick> that worked for me
[03:01] <bla|patrick> have an x850
[03:01] <IseeIsee> how do I install as server ?
[03:01] <sal> ah, it means it comes in one quote?
[03:01] <sal> sorry
[03:01] <sal> :-)
[03:02] <afief> bla|patrick: better than the ubuntu wiki? i have mobility x600
[03:02] <lassegs> IseeIsee: download and burn a ubuntu server cd
[03:02] <IseeIsee> lassegs no from a desktop CD
[03:02] <IseeIsee> they said you need to type server at boot prompt
[03:02] <IseeIsee> there is no boot prompt here
[03:02] <thoreauputic> IseeIsee: type server at the prompt
[03:02] <IseeIsee> I have 5 options:
[03:02] <bla|patrick> u have to press f6
[03:02] <bla|patrick> and enter there server
[03:02] <thoreauputic> IseeIsee: ther *is* a prompt!
[03:02] <roshan_s> sal: Have you installed the ATI binary drivers?
[03:03] <Infern0o> Anybody who is willing to try to help we with wireless? They have already been busy with me yesterday, and before that i tried the !wireless guide... all in veign though...
[03:03] <pdlnhrd> does ubuntu (dapper) use ESD for sound by default?
[03:03] <thoreauputic> IseeIsee: when the alternate CD boots, type server
[03:03] <sal> No, xubuntu. Should i install them?
[03:03] <IseeIsee> ok I pressed F6 & typed boot
[03:04] <IseeIsee> mind it my ram is 96mb will this setup still work ?
[03:04] <compengi> in first i configure the samba smb.conf file and set the workgroup as MSHOME i changed it to HOME but when i go to network servers i can't find it in this workgroup and the previous workgroup remained
[03:04] <compengi> what should i do?
[03:04] <thoreauputic> IseeIsee: for a GUI -less server, yes
[03:04] <roshan_s> sal: I don't think any of the ATI drivers support rotation
[03:04] <Lynoure> or GUIless workstation, too...
[03:05] <pianoboy3333> I'm getting a very lovely alsa error now, can anyone help me out? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18209

[03:05] <XplOzIon> hi all
[03:05] <Taza> Apparently I'm having significant problems with xrandr reporting invalid resolutions.
[03:05] <sal> oh thats sad. thats for sure?
[03:05] <thiago_> how i can install LaTeX in ubuntu?
[03:06] <Dimensions> hie i have installed Realplayer.bin and change it to executable by this command ... chmod a+x Realplayer10GOLD.bin ... now when i run real player to install it nothing happend ? aneidea
[03:06] <roshan_s> sal: Try this in a terminal window: grep -i randr /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:06] <Taza> I believe it's about me using a Matrox Mystique MGA 1064SG with the "vesa" driver - "mga"-driver won't work correctly.
[03:06] <someothernick_> help, when i login to gnome i can see my desktop but no menu or taskbar. there are processes running from before i rebooted.
[03:06] <thoreauputic> Dimensions: ./Realpl <tab>
[03:06] <roshan_s> Dimensions: Install Realplayer by going to Applications > Add/Remove
[03:06] <thoreauputic> Dimensions: in the directory you downloade it to
[03:07] <Dimensions> thoreauputic:  tried that and it doesn't even complete its name with tab ..
[03:07] <sal> it says: (==) RandR enabled (II) Initializing built-in extension RANDR
[03:07] <thiago_> how i can install LaTeX in ubuntu?
[03:07] <thoreauputic> Dimensions: well, it isn't there then :)
[03:07] <Dimensions> thoreauputic:  lol i can see it with ls ... its there
[03:07] <roshan_s> Dimensions: thoreauputic: The file may not be executable, and realplayer is in the dapper-commercial repository
[03:08] <thoreauputic> Dimensions: but an easier way is to enable multiverse and install it with apt/app-install/synaptic
[03:08] <thoreauputic> roshan_s: umm - he did a chmod a+x
[03:08] <Dimensions> yeah but i was infact installing other programs with synaptic thats why ..
[03:08] <Dimensions> its working now ... thanks guys ...
[03:08] <jorgito> hi
[03:09] <roshan_s> sal: AFAIK the ATI driver doesn't support rotation. You'll have to ask someone else though. Sorry
[03:09] <jorgito> i am studing one spec file and there is definition under the %postun directive using positional parametr 1 , do you know what means this parametr in context of spec file ? i am not shure if this parametr is taken from building command or uninstall command
[03:09] <Dimensions> another thing how do i run wmv files i have gxine .. and other players already installed but none would play wmv
[03:09] <thiago_> how i can install LaTeX in ubuntu?
[03:09] <sal> Thank so far, bye.

[03:09] <roshan_s> Dimensions: The dapper-commercial repo isn't enabled normally. You need to go to Gnome-App-Install and select realplayer
[03:09] <pianoboy3333> I'm getting a very lovely alsa error now, can anyone help me out? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18209
[03:10] <Dimensions> thanks you roshan_s its running now ... could u pls tell me should i install it in any folder or in any specific one on "/" like in home root usr etc ?
[03:11] <roshan_s> Dimensions: I would highly recommend installing it from the dapper-commercial repository instead of using the .bin installer
[03:11] <Dimensions> alrite roshan_s ... i had it downloaded thats why but i will follow ur recommendation
[03:12] <roshan_s> Dimensions: If you install it using that .bin, it will not be tracked by your package manager, and Bad Things will happen
[03:12] <ezx> who know how to reconnect adsl using pppd ,but not the method by cron
[03:12] <compengi> can someone help me in samba?
[03:12] <Dimensions> ummm.. got it roshan_s :)
[03:13] <thoreauputic> roshan_s: not necessarily :) But I agree that using the package manager is better
[03:13] <ezx> compengi:i can
[03:13] <roshan_s> !ask > compengi
[03:13] <compengi> ezx, ok
[03:13] <ezx> ask!
[03:13] <compengi> roshan_s, i did ask before but no one answered
[03:13] <roshan_s> thoreauputic: It might work now, but what about dist-upgrades? :-)
[03:13] <Dimensions> why is video playing always a problem in the all Linux distros
[03:13] <compengi> ezx, in first i configure the samba smb.conf file and set the workgroup as MSHOME i changed it to HOME but when i go to network servers i can't find my computer in this workgroup and the previous workgroup remained
[03:14] <thoreauputic> roshan_s: Actually if you put it in /usr/local it will be fine ( personal experience)
[03:14] <roshan_s> compengi: Do a sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[03:14] <Dimensions> isn't it possible they include all codecs and libs with player ? instead of every one running after all of such files
[03:14] <compengi> roshan_s, yes i did
[03:14] <compengi> roshan_s, nothing changed though
[03:14] <bla|patrick> could someone hlep me with azurues?
[03:15] <thoreauputic> roshan_s: Of course you need to know that, or put it in your $HOME :)
[03:15] <Mikkas> ok grub error 22... can ANYONE HELP?
[03:15] <bla|patrick> can someone explain me, why the azupdater fails to install as root libswts
[03:15] <ezx> check your smb.conf ,paste it here
[03:15] <compengi> ezx, lol
[03:15] <compengi> ezx, you want me to flood
[03:15] <Mikkas> i just installed off the live cd... and now i cant get back to xp , or into my fresh install of grub
[03:16] <roshan_s> thoreauputic: In the hypothetical scenario, what if realplayer depended on a library that's installed in dapper but not in edgy by default? :-)
[03:16] <roshan_s> compengi: Try rebooting your Windows machine
[03:16] <ezx> only the para ,not whole file
[03:16] <thoreauputic> roshan_s: the bin file is statically compiled
[03:16] <thoreauputic> roshan_s: not an issue
[03:16] <RichEd> mikkas ... i had a problem like that last night ... does windows boot say can't load oprating system ?
[03:17] <bla|patrick> !pastbin
[03:17] <ubotu> I know nothing about pastbin - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:17] <Mikkas> well...
[03:17] <roshan_s> thoreauputic: It was a hypothetical case :-) We all know the evils of static compilation etc... We have to put up with this because of rp's proprietary nature
[03:17] <Mikkas> grub is on the MBR
[03:17] <Mikkas> so i cant get into grub
[03:17] <thoreauputic> roshan_s: agreed :)
[03:17] <bla|patrick> !pastbin
[03:17] <Mikkas> to even see the options (ie. ubuntu and xp)
[03:17] <ubotu> I know nothing about pastbin - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:17] <sonny> i want to upgrade the ubuntu but the offical source server is too slow where can i find fast source server?
[03:17] <compengi> roshan_s, it's not a deal of windows machine it's the matter that i can't see my machine in network server when i changed the workgroup
[03:17] <bla|patrick> !pastebin
[03:17] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[03:17] <compengi> ezx, which lines i past?
[03:18] <ezx> compengi,using ip is ok?
[03:18] <thoreauputic> roshan_s: actually the mplayer plugin for moz/FF will play Real media anyway
[03:18] <Ayabara> i installed "candido-engine", a gtk 2.x theme from gnome-look, but how the heck do I use/activate it?
[03:18] <RichEd> mikkas: not sure if his helps, but i had an aborted install ... then could not load XP ... had to use lived to load partition editor and mark XP as bootable ...
[03:18] <RichEd> livecd <- lived
[03:18] <compengi> ezx, can i IM you?
[03:18] <bla|patrick> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18210

[03:18] <tom1502> Hi, i am looking for s o who can help me getting suspend2 running
[03:18] <thoreauputic> roshan_s: but only with evil w32codecs ;)
[03:18] <bla|patrick> can some look about this... is there any reason why it fails to update those libs?
[03:18] <seif> hello
[03:19] <compengi> roshan_s, i can see it from there too
[03:19] <compengi> can't*
[03:19] <bla|patrick> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18210
[03:19] <roshan_s> thoreauputic: Being on amd64, what are these w32codecs you speak of? ;-)
[03:19] <ezx> i am checking the smb.conf manpage
[03:19] <thoreauputic> roshan_s: or indeed in my case PPC - point taken ;)
[03:20] <ezx> compengi: ip is ok?
[03:20] <compengi> ezx, i did a backup file of smb.conf
[03:20] <TLE> what's the command to open the shortcutconfiguration tool in KDE ?
[03:20] <roshan_s> compengi: Do you mean you can't see it?
[03:20] <IseeIsee> which linux distro would be the alternative of win_me considering hardware specifications
[03:20] <Mikkas> RichEd: seems like its a bad partition table...
[03:20] <ezx> compengi: what IM? i have gtalk and msn
[03:20] <Mikkas> apparently...
[03:20] <thoreauputic> IseeIsee: heh - Linspire?
[03:20] <seif> any1 here using synaptics touchpad and network manager?? i think network manager causes the touchpad to hang!
[03:20] <compengi> ezx, message you here private
[03:20] <thoreauputic> IseeIsee: sorry cheap shot
[03:21] <Mikkas> how can i fix this grub error 22?
[03:21] <IseeIsee> thoreauputic cheap shot ?
[03:21] <Mikkas> im googling my ass off...
[03:21] <Dimensions> i have tried to add rplayer from add remove it rather opens to advance mode and takes me to synaptic ... from there i selected four rplayer files and installed them rplayer-client rpalyer-contrib and rplayer server - rplayer-perl
[03:21] <Dimensions> just wonderin if thats fine
[03:21] <compengi> roshan_s, i can't see it with network server program when i changed the workgroup
[03:21] <IseeIsee> thoreauputic: my laptop works fine on windows_me, i'm looking for a linux alternative, thats why I'm asking
[03:21] <thoreauputic> IseeIsee: umm - if you mean low RAM, slow cpu, try a server install + xubuntu-desktop
[03:22] <RichEd> well i used the LiveCD to mark XP as bootable ... and windows recovered ... i then re-installed and all went fine. Do you have Ubuntu CD with GUI partition editor ? I actually used the Edubuntu one with the ASCII partition manager ...
[03:22] <thoreauputic> IseeIsee: does *anything* work fine on Win ME ?
[03:22] <ezx> compengi: but howto private talk to you? first irc
[03:22] <Ayabara> before using a theme I want, I have to install a new engine. what does that mean?
[03:22] <Mikkas> ive got 6.06
[03:22] <compengi> ezx, did you register your nick?
[03:22] <ezx> can i ssh to your computer 212.36.207.232
[03:22] <Mikkas> a gparted etc
[03:22] <IseeIsee> thoreauputic: Ubunut setup isn't going through even through server install, its giving problems, perhaps due to hardware specs
[03:23] <ezx> compengi: yes ,ezx
[03:23] <RichEd> note that i think (1) my problem was less serious that yours and (2) this was my first install last night :)
[03:23] <roshan_s> compengi: I have similar troubles intermittently in Windows. Other Linux machines see my fine. Sorry I don't have a fix
[03:23] <bla|patrick> :(
[03:23] <thoreauputic> IseeIsee: the server install should work - but it *does* depend on what hardware you have, yes.
[03:23] <roshan_s> Dimensions: Did you enable the "commercial applications" checkbox in Add/Remove Programs?
[03:24] <thoreauputic> IseeIsee: you need a minimum of 64MB RAM , from memory
[03:24] <Mikkas> grrr ubuntu is shitting me
[03:24] <RichEd> so i am at the end of my knowledge ... just thought my problem & fix may help ... a singular perl of wisdom ... not a fount of knowledge
[03:24] <TLE> never mind I found it
[03:24] <roshan_s> Dimensions: rplay* is not what you need
[03:24] <tom1502> nobody knows how to setup suspend2 with nvidia, or does anyone has got a tutorial for dapper?
[03:25] <compengi> roshan_s, did you see the message?
[03:25] <Mikkas> is there any other bootloader i can use instead of GRUB? I'm stuck on the live CD, and have SATA hard disks (xp and ubuntu are on the same drive, sep. partitions)
[03:26] <tom1502> Mikkas, what is ur prob with grub?
[03:26] <Mikkas> i need to reinstall grub

[03:28] <Ash-Fox> xgl is angry.
[03:28] <tom1502> Mikkas, if u can chroot to your root partition, you have to be able to access it
[03:28] <Mikkas> hang on, ive forgotten how do i chroot again?

[03:35] <ubuntu> k paaasa neng
[03:35] <Ayabara> roshan_s: invalid file format. think I'll give gnome-art another try :-)
[03:35] <rpedro> !es
[03:35] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[03:36] <roshan_s> Ayabara: That might be a good idea. It automates this stuff
[03:36] <Mikkas> dev/sdb: Not found or not a block device.
[03:36] <tom1502> Mikkas, wtf? does grub support SATA??
[03:36] <Mikkas> what about this "find /boot/grub/stage1 "
[03:37] <Mikkas> thats the other way i tried before..
[03:37] <rpedro> tom1502: yes it does
[03:37] <Mikkas> yes ive had the 2 working before
[03:37] <Mikkas> they died though, so ive reinstalled xp
[03:37] <Mikkas> and also ubuntu now..
[03:37] <tom1502> Mikkas did u enter /dev/sdb or dev/sdb??
[03:38] <Mikkas> uh oh
[03:38] <Mikkas> no file found in grub
[03:38] <Mikkas> for find /boot/grub/stage1
[03:38] <tom1502> Mikkas did u enter /dev/sdb or dev/sdb??
[03:39] <Mikkas> i entered /dev , jjust irc doesnt like the 1st /
[03:39] <tom1502> because u need the first / !!!
[03:39] <Mikkas> i know
[03:39] <Mikkas> i know
[03:39] <tom1502> k
[03:39] <genius> !ghost
[03:39] <ubotu> On IRC, if you own a nick that is currently being used, you can make it quit by typing: /msg nickserv GHOST <username> <password>
[03:39] <tom1502> and it didnt take it?
[03:39] <Mikkas> i also tried...
[03:40] <Mikkas> grub-install /dev/sdb4
[03:40] <Mikkas> but no go
[03:40] <tom1502> Mikkas, no that does not work, grub needs to be installed into the MBR of ur disk, not into a partition
[03:40] <Mikkas> can i access grub now and just kill it all?
[03:40] <Mikkas> i hate grub cause it hates me ;)
[03:41] <tom1502> well enter grub
[03:41] <ambient_sky> Mikkas: So try the lilo
[03:41] <ambient_sky> :)
[03:41] <XplOzIon> LOL @ Mikkas
[03:41] <Jesus> Hey, my Delete button got redefined as $xscreensaver-command -lock. It's pretty annoying, anyone know how to undo that?
[03:41] <Mikkas> lol i'd try it if i knew how
[03:41] <Mikkas> how can i scrap grub 1st..
[03:42] <RichEd> RichEd -> out 1 hour
[03:42] <tom1502> u can just overwrite grub with lilo, but i dunno how to install lilo
[03:42] <Mikkas> bugga
[03:42] <blaster> can anybody help me
[03:42] <Mikkas> add/remove?
[03:42] <tom1502> well i gotta go now, sry Mikkas...
[03:42] <tom1502> will come back l8er
[03:43] <Jesus> you should be able to do that with your ubuntu install cd
[03:43] <Mikkas> ok thanks anyways..
[03:43] <Jesus> but I'm not sure
[03:43] <Mikkas> thanks jesus
[03:43] <Mikkas> lol
[03:43] <Mikkas> thnx for trying tom
[03:43] <Jesus> I have to install grub everytime i restart my comp. (so don't trust me) but you can install lilo in the same way.
[03:44] <Jesus> wanna know how?
[03:45] <Mikkas> yus
[03:45] <Mikkas> It is absolutely necessary to run liloconfig(8) when you complete this process and execute /sbin/lilo after this.
[03:45] <KenSentMe> How can i stop hearing myself talking when i use my headset microphone?
[03:46] <roshan_s> KenSentMe: Double click on the little speaker icon next to the clock, go to the capture tab, and mute the mic
[03:47] <TankEnMate> anyone know why you can't connect to vino (VNC) on dapper?? The server and client can't seem to agree on the security type..
[03:47] <gdb> Wow, using lilo.  How quaint. ;-)
[03:48] <roshan_s> TankEnMate: Works fine for me
[03:48] <Mikkas> lilo is broken too
[03:48] <Mikkas> great
[03:48] <Mikkas> now im screwed
[03:48] <tuxtheslacker> hello. what are the kernel headers called in apt-get?
[03:49] <TankEnMate> roshan_s: hmmm it keeps complaining about the wrong seciryt type (18)
[03:49] <tuxtheslacker> linux-headers?
[03:49] <tuxtheslacker> or ???
[03:49] <Amadeo> hello everyone
[03:49] <TankEnMate> i had a look on the internet and nada, i think im almost at the point of d/ling the source and trawling through it :)
[03:49] <TankEnMate> :( even...
[03:49] <Amadeo> I've came here to ask someone a favour
[03:49] <gdb> tuxtheslacker: kernel-headers -- but you may want to grab them using the meta-package build-essential.
[03:49] <roshan_s> TankEnMate: Using vncviewer? It works fine for me
[03:49] <TankEnMate> mikkas == miksa ?
[03:49] <Mikkas> hi
[03:50] <Amadeo> Can someone tell me why i should use ubuntu?
[03:50] <tuxtheslacker> gdb, I have build-essential.
[03:50] <Amadeo> im new to linux
[03:50] <Mikkas> i cant
[03:50] <Mikkas> ha
[03:50] <TankEnMate> roshan_s: i have used just about every vncviewer on the planet..
[03:50] <Amadeo> and just starting playing around with knoppix
[03:50] <afief> Amadeo: use it instead of windows or instead of another linux distro?
[03:50] <gdb> tuxtheslacker: They're installed as a dependancy via that meta-package.  You should have them installed already as a result.
[03:50] <Mikkas> sup tank?
[03:50] <Jesus> k, this is how I do it: Start the install. go trough the install to the partitioner point. Mount all the existing partitions (choose: setup manually ) and accept (observe: don't formate anything). Then it say error twice, then you get a list, choose Install GRUB/LILO. Then install LILO. That might work.
[03:50] <TankEnMate> heya miksa.. how's life?
[03:50] <gdb> tuxtheslacker: Sorry, linux-kernel-headers is the full package name.
[03:51] <Jesus> that was for you Mikkas
[03:51] <TankEnMate> roshan_s: i think i'll have to trawl through the source to figure out what is wrong..
[03:51] <roshan_s> TankEnMate: I just used vino and the default vncviewer which comes with dapper
[03:51] <Mikkas> i dont get the 2 errors though
[03:51] <Mikkas> thats the problem
[03:51] <tuxtheslacker> hmm, I muse need something else then.
[03:51] <Amadeo> instead of windows
[03:51] <Amadeo> both really
[03:51] <TankEnMate> roshan_r: yeah, thats what should work.. but it aint on my machine..
[03:51] <tuxtheslacker> I need to find the kernel source for a vpn program, and it's not listed.
[03:51] <tuxtheslacker> so I can't load the vpn module.
[03:51] <tuxtheslacker> gdb, ^^
[03:51] <TankEnMate> micksa, you might recognise me more as <JasHawk>
[03:52] <gdb> tuxtheslacker: This VPN program is a debianized package?
[03:52] <Jesus> Mikkas: thats wierd. what happens when you are done with the partitioner?
[03:52] <tuxtheslacker> no. but I've had it installed on older kernels.
[03:52] <roshan_s> TankEnMate: What exactly is the error?
[03:52] <TankEnMate> roshan_r: i think i have resigned myself to running it under gdb and figureing out what is going wrong..
[03:52] <tuxtheslacker> gdb^^
[03:52] <Mikkas> just next.. and it's ready to install again
[03:52] <Mikkas> never got to configure lilo
[03:52] <Mikkas> or grub
[03:53] <Amadeo> afied: I'm trying to set myself up with a decent linux distro, for something different from windows, ive got knoppix installed and have found it good, but my network card wont get picked up by it, and i want a distro to run cedega, bittorent, and watch movies on, while still being easy to use.. im frankly sick of windows
[03:53] <TankEnMate>  CConnection: Server offers security type [unknown secType] (18)
[03:53] <Jesus> Mikkas: And you have a complete system, with /, /home and all, mounted?
[03:53] <gdb> tuxtheslacker: So you have the source code already?  Or you're saying that you have the binary kernel module but you're looking for the source to build against your current kernel?
[03:53] <TankEnMate> and I can't seem to find anywhere in any documentation a secType 18..
[03:53] <Mikkas> i dont think so
[03:53] <Mikkas> thats my problem probablt
[03:54] <ryba> elo
[03:54] <Jesus> Might be.
[03:54] <Mikkas> cause im on the live cd... nothing is mounted by default right?
[03:54] <Shibo> Hello, how may I install MPlayer onto a ubuntu machine without internet connection?
[03:54] <Jesus> Mikkas: u got the 6.06 live cd?
[03:54] <Mikkas> yep
[03:54] <TankEnMate> oh well.. time to trawl the source..
[03:55] <Mikkas> ive installed it correctly 1 time so far..
[03:55] <TankEnMate> roshan_r: thanks anyway :)
[03:55] <roshan_s> TankEnMate: You've got your work cut out :-)
[03:55] <Mikkas> is there a scandisk or something i can do to check the partition quality?
[03:55] <Mikkas> lilo's all like, you have bad partions or something
[03:55] <Mikkas> im like , no, but its like ya
[03:55] <skavenge> !pastebin
[03:55] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[03:55] <TankEnMate> roshan_s: if i can find my way around the pine source code, i'm fairly confident i can find my way around the vino code..
[03:56] <Tomatix> Lol, I installed windows to test it. Omg, it started to install things I did not ask about to install, and in fact, I turned off "automatic updates" but it updated anyway. A totally destroyed operatingsystem like that sould one look long after to find!
[03:56] <Jesus> Mikkas: correct me if I'm wrong: You have installed the live-ubuntu onto your disk, and then ejected the cd to restart, and then lilo says thats something is wrong?
[03:57] <haffe> Hello. I would like to play Marathon/AlephOne, but installing it is a PITA, is there a deb floating somewhere?
[03:57] <Mikkas> grub says something is wrong
[03:57] <Mikkas> i havent even got lilo up yet.
[03:57] <roshan_s> TankEnMate: "strings" doesn't reveal the word "security" in vncviewer or xvncviewer, and they don't link to any vnc-related libraries
[03:57] <Jesus> ok
[03:57] <Mikkas> its throwing all sorts or errors at me
[03:57] <Amadeo1988> can anyone help me I'm trying to set myself up with a decent linux distro, for something different from windows, ive got knoppix installed and have found it good, but my network card wont get picked up by it, and i want a distro to run cedega, bittorent, and watch movies on, while still being easy to use.. im frankly sick of windows
[03:58] <tuxtheslacker> gdb: I don't have the kernel-source package, I have the binary kernel, I need to compile the kernel against the binary, and I did it before with a headers file, gdb
[03:58] <KenSentMe> Amadeo1988: cedega works fine here, so does azureus and Ubuntu comes with some good video players
[03:58] <TankEnMate> Server offers security type %s(%d)
[03:58] <gdb> tuxtheslacker: You need to build the module against the kernel, not hte other way around.  You're going to need access to the module's source code.
[03:58] <Jesus> Mikkas: Well If you don't got anything on stored on the computer, you might just want to reinstall it.
[03:58] <TankEnMate> thats out of my /usr/bin/vncviewer binary..
[03:58] <Mikkas> i just did
[03:58] <Mikkas> and grub is still stuffed
[03:59] <TankEnMate> and i have found it in both tightvnc and realvnc
[03:59] <Jesus> Mikkas: and you get the same errors?
[03:59] <Mikkas> yus
[03:59] <skavenge> anyone ever seen this error when removing packages? i get it often and dont know whats broken .. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18212 thanks
[03:59] <Jesus> Mikkas: k
[03:59] <Mikkas> error 22
[03:59] <Mikkas> sigh
[03:59] <KenSentMe> Amadeo1988: if you want to know if you like ubuntu, just try the livecd
[03:59] <Amadeo1988> KenSentMe: How about accessing my ntfs partitions?
[03:59] <Mikkas> thnx for the help btw
[03:59] <stefg> Amadeo1988: So you've found the right Distro. So what's the problem now? NIC not working out of the box?
[03:59] <Chameleon22> trying to add kqemu as a device, manually it works fine(mknod /dev/kqemu;mknod /dev/kqemu c 250 0;chmpd 666). When I add kernel module to /etc/modules and following rule KERNEL="kqemu", NAME="%k" GROUP="kqemu", MODE="0660" (group exists)  to /etc/udev/rules.d/... and reboot I still dont get the damn device generated. Any ideas?
[03:59] <Amadeo1988> yeh my nic just isnt working
[03:59] <KenSentMe> Amadeo1988: ubuntu has read support out of the box, for write you have to change some things.
[03:59] <Amadeo1988> ive tried ndiswrapper
[03:59] <KenSentMe> !ntfs
[03:59] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[04:00] <KenSentMe> !fuse
[04:00] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[04:00] <Mikkas> so can i just delete grub ?
[04:00] <roshan_s> TankEnMate: /usr/bin/vncviewer is controlled by the alternatives system. I'm using the vncviewer from the "xvncviewer" package. Perhaps you should try it?
[04:00] <Mikkas> and then reinstall it?
[04:00] <stefg> Amadeo1988: Ah, ok so it's a wireless adapter... what is sit?
[04:00] <Mikkas> how would i do that? add/remove?
[04:00] <Enverex> NTFS read/write is fine with ntfs-3g but it's not in Ubuntu yet and you need to manually compile a few things
[04:00] <Amadeo1988> no it isnt a wireless adaptor its a Marvell Yukon PCI-E M8053
[04:01] <Amadeo1988> i just tried ndiswrapperr
[04:01] <Amadeo1988> in hope it would work
[04:01] <Jesus> Mikkas: Well, I don't know... I only reinstall it.
[04:01] <thiago> ae galera, tem algum plugin para o rhythmbox, daqueles que ficam o controle de proxima musica etc.., no painel?
[04:01] <Amadeo1988> i do not wish to write to ntfs, i have setup a FAT32 drive for file swapping between linux and windows
[04:01] <KenSentMe> !es > thiago
[04:02] <stefg> Amadeo1988: is it onboard or a seperate Card?
[04:02] <Amadeo1988> Onboard
[04:02] <Amadeo1988> Apparently it uses something called sky2 drivers
[04:02] <Jesus> Mikkas: I'm sorry, I got to go. Try posting something on the forum, there someone might know.
[04:02] <Amadeo1988> or rather
[04:02] <morphix> are there any guides on making ur own custom ubuntu live cd?
[04:03] <Mikkas> ok i give up
[04:03] <Mikkas> cyas :)
[04:03] <Enverex> Where can I set how long gksudo keeps the root password for?
[04:04] <thiago> in xubuntu, where i install the window borders?
[04:04] <Shak-> i've got a 70GB HDD of which 50GB is already used up (mainly due to video/audio files) so im trying to create a dual boot install of windows/ubuntu... what partition sizes should I set?
[04:04] <Amadeo1988> i have tried ifconfig too see if it even exists and it doesnt, i have tried the drivers at marvell.com and it only tells me that my kernal is a differetn version
[04:04] <roshan_s> Enverex: man sudoers
[04:04] <choique> hola
[04:04] <choique> hi
[04:04] <morphix> Amadeo1988: what the?? no ifconfig? lol
[04:04] <stefg> Amadeo1988: you've got 2 options: a.) get through a learning curve , maybe getting it to work, maybe not (because vendors not always open up their specs. so that someone can write a linux driver for it) or b.) cough up 10 bucks and get a properly supported PCI-card Adapter, which is likely to just work
[04:04] <choique> i have a problem with xgl
[04:05] <choique> i have a problem with compiz
[04:05] <stefg> !xgl
[04:05] <morphix> Amadeo1988: what marvell device do u have? i have a marvell yukon gigabit NIC and it works perfect under ubuntu
[04:05] <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
[04:05] <tuxtheslacker> gdb, does that mean I have to install kernel-source
[04:05] <tuxtheslacker> ?
[04:05] <Amadeo1988> stefg: alright thanks
[04:05] <MenZa> #ubuntu-xgl

[04:06] <tuxtheslacker> oh snap! kernel-source defaults to a 2.4 kernel.....
[04:06] <Amadeo1988> the other questions i have is, does ubuntu support ATI X800 Video card, and will cedega run with ubuntu and my video card?
[04:06] <gdb> tuxtheslacker: It means you need the source code to the kernel module you're trying to use (your VPN modules).  Without that, you're sort of stuck at this point.
[04:06] <choique> i have a amd64 and ubuntu 6.06 in 64 bits
[04:06] <dmsantam> how can i browse the computers with samba shares on the network? running dapper. i can connect to a specific known server with the Places->Connect to server menu. but i want to browse
[04:06] <tuxtheslacker> gdb, where should I get the source?
[04:07] <tuxtheslacker> gdb, E: Couldn't find package linux-header-2.6.15-26-386
[04:07] <tuxtheslacker> ;-) the s helps.
[04:08] <Amadeo1988> the other questions i have is, does ubuntu support ATI X800 Video card, and will cedega run with ubuntu and my video card?
[04:08] <gdb> tuxtheslacker: I can't say where you'll find the source to the module.
[04:08] <lassegs> Amadeo1988: yes it does
[04:08] <gdb> tuxtheslacker: It sounds like something third-party and there may not be source available for it.
[04:08] <tuxtheslacker> gdb I needed linux-headers
[04:08] <Amadeo1988> Awesome thanks
[04:08] <lassegs> Amadeo1988: but you will need the properiotary drivers
[04:08] <tuxtheslacker> gdb, I found it ;-)
[04:09] <lassegs> err. typo
[04:09] <Amadeo1988> What version of Ubuntu is best for a beginner like myself? Dapper?
[04:09] <setuid> Can someone tell me how I can get 1600x1200 bootup in Ubuntu? It worked fine in every Linux I've ever used, by using vga=799 in the lilo or grub config, but Ubuntu ignores it.
[04:09] <setuid> Why?
[04:09] <lassegs> Amadeo1988: yes
[04:09] <gdb> Amadeo1988: Any version of Ubuntu is going to be good, but Dapper is what you're looking for as it's the newest release and is thus at the start of its support cycle.
[04:09] <morphix> setuid: change your /etc/X11/xorg,conf
[04:09] <Shak-> anyone feel like helping? I need some advice on what sizes to set to partition my drive
[04:09] <setuid> morphix, That has nothing to do with bootup
[04:10] <setuid> morphix, I have 1600x1200 in X, the problem is bootup
[04:10] <lassegs> Shak-: what is it?
[04:10] <Amadeo1988> Thanks gdb
[04:10] <Amadeo1988> Thanks everyone for teh help
[04:10] <Amadeo1988> cya
[04:10] <setuid> morphix, You know, the text debug when you boot
[04:10] <lassegs> bye
[04:10] <morphix> setuid: oh u mean in bash, etc, etc? why would want that high res in boot up :/
[04:10] <gdb> vga=792 works for me, I can't say why 799 wouldn't.
[04:10] <setuid> morphix, Because its easier on my eyes, doesn't wrap.;
[04:10] <Shak-> lassegs: well i've got a 70GB drive of which i've used up 50 already (because of video/audio files) so im not sure what sizes to set to partition
[04:11] <gdb> morphix: Because running 80x25 lines on a 19" LCD is annoying.
[04:11] <setuid> gdb, I tried everything from 800 to 600, every single value, it rejected all of them
[04:11] <gdb> It's like running X (or Windows) at 640x480.
[04:11] <setuid> 800, 799, 798, 797...
[04:11] <lassegs> shak: how much do you want to dedicate to audio and video and what filesystem is it?
[04:11] <choique> thanks for your help :)
[04:11] <gdb> setuid: I honestly don't know which number refers to which resolution, I've only ever used 792.
[04:11] <setuid> 300 and 302 work to give me ~80x30, but that's nowhere near enough
[04:11] <setuid> gdb, I'll give that a try and see
[04:11] <Enverex> How do I install a local debian package?
[04:12] <gdb> Enverex: dpkg -i package.deb
[04:12] <Shak-> lassegs: probably around 40GB
[04:12] <sri_> How to lock some folders which are seen by 'su' user not for admin users??
[04:12] <fowlduck> Enverex: sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb
[04:12] <gdb> (prefaced by sudo, of course)
[04:12] <Shak-> and its all ntfs right now
[04:12] <lassegs> Shak-: 2 sec
[04:12] <sri_> sri_, is there any cmd??
[04:13] <lassegs> all: how is the new ntfs driver? is it any good? is it easy to install?
[04:13] <sri_> Enverex, go to synaptic manager
[04:13] <afief> I followed the forum tutorial to install my ATI driver but recieved this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18213
[04:13] <ryanakca> is there a way to stop receiving mail from Cron?
[04:13] <sri_>  How to lock some folders which are seen by 'su' user not for admin users??is there any cmd for it??
[04:13] <lassegs> Shak-: Ok, we'll presume the new NTFS drivers are ok..
[04:14] <TankEnMate> roshan_s: found out the problem, it requires the client to support encryption.
[04:14] <Shak-> lassegs: oh, so not create a fat32 partition to share?
[04:15] <lassegs> shak: i dunno. with the new ntfs drivers you shouldnt need to, because you can read and write with it, but tahts only in theory, i hvaent tested them myself. and no one is answering when i ask if they know anything about them
[04:15] <morphix> lassegs: i have heard that NTFS writing is VERY unsafe atm
[04:16] <morphix> reading is perfect
[04:16] <atroWork> yup
[04:16] <Enverex> It's fine with ntfs-3G
[04:16] <atroWork> I read about a fairly new driver yesterday. ntfs-3g
[04:16] <fowlduck> morphix: apparently stable writing is to be released soon
[04:16] <lassegs> morphix: yeah, thats what i thought too, but with the 3g you should be ok?
[04:16] <Chameleon22> trying to add kqemu as a device, manually it works fine(mknod /dev/kqemu;mknod /dev/kqemu c 250 0;chmpd 666). When I add kernel module to /etc/modules and following rule KERNEL="kqemu", NAME="%k" GROUP="kqemu", MODE="0660" (group exists)  to /etc/udev/rules.d/... and reboot I still dont get the damn device generated. Any ideas?
[04:16] <njan> the new NTFS driver is still very much in beta, and still has known bugs. Until such time as it's been stress tested for a significant period of time, you should *not* use it for unbacked up data.
[04:16] <atroWork> unless you write over 100k files... then it fails (but not destructively)
[04:16] <morphix> ntfs-3g is very new isnt it?.. i wouldnt touch VERY new things just yet
[04:16] <Seba[1] > Hi
[04:17] <lassegs> Shak-: ok, then we make a shared fat partition
[04:17] <atroWork> yes, it's new, but it looks pretty promising. Shouldn't be a problem since you don't do ntfs stuff without backing it up ;)
[04:17] <Shak-> lassegs: ok, what exactly does this shared fat partition store? the guide im using says to allocate 14gb (?!)
[04:17] <Seba[1] > What's a "normal" temperature for a dual core laptop? mine is 64 C when idle, i don't think that's normal. what do you think?
[04:17] <Enverex> Does anyone here want an Amiga Emulator?
[04:17] <afief> I followed the forum tutorial to install my ATI driver but recieved this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18213
[04:18] <yabba> how can you see the temperature?
[04:18] <frogzoo> Seba[1] : 64C is very normal
[04:18] <void^> it depends on the cpu
[04:18] <morphix> Seba[1] : u using a MAC?
[04:18] <lassegs> shak: what do you want to share on it? I use my shared partition only to mail and sometimes to copy files, when i made a .psd i Win and want it in Lin, i save it there when i boot. So i only have like 2gigs, but what do u want to do with it?
[04:18] <frogzoo> Seba[1] : over 70 & it's starting to be a problem
[04:18] <Seba[1] > frogzoo: somethimes my laptop freezes for 5 to 10 seconds... and i though it could be a problem related with temperature
[04:18] <Seba[1] > asus a6jm running dapper 606 w/ kernel smp
[04:19] <frogzoo> yabba: install sensors-applet & add to taskbar
[04:19] <Amadeo> Back again
[04:19] <yabba> thank you
[04:19] <Seba[1] > if i run glxgears for 5 minutes it gets up to 85 C
[04:19] <Amadeo> im a little bit worried as too which one i download from www.ubuntu.com
[04:19] <lassegs> Seba[1] : thats too hot
[04:19] <Amadeo> I want dapper drake and i want to install it on my hard drive
[04:19] <morphix> Seba[1] : :| omg! lol
[04:19] <morphix> VERY hot
[04:20] <frogzoo> Seba[1] : no - you're outside the spec'd operating conditions there - you need to look at your fans
[04:20] <Amadeo> Can someone fetch my the apprioariate link? i live in australia, so australian mirror preferred
[04:20] <Seba[1] > mmm :( i can't here the fan running
[04:20] <Shak-> lassegs: but why do I have to create a seperate partition to share, cant I just store data on my ubuntu partition with ubuntu, then be able to access it with windows
[04:20] <morphix> Amadeo: aussie mirror for what? and r u on pipe?
[04:20] <Seba[1] > is there any way to start the fan manually?
[04:20] <frogzoo> Seba[1] : omg :O
[04:20] <Amadeo> what is pipe
[04:20] <Lynoure> Seba[1] : which laptop is it? And is the guarantee of it still valid?
[04:20] <frogzoo> Seba[1] : also, you might need thermal grease
[04:20] <stefg> Shak-: i wouldn't go for that
[04:20] <lassegs> Shak-: well that is possible but the ext3 driver on win kinda sucks
[04:21] <morphix> Amadeo: nvm.. but what r u wanting to download?
[04:21] <Seba[1] > it's an Asus a6jm
[04:21] <Amadeo> morphix: i want to install Ubuntu Dapper onto my harddrive, i dont want the livecd
[04:21] <lassegs> Seba[1] : send it to the shop
[04:21] <frogzoo> Seba[1] : ok, if it's a laptop under warranty, don't mess with it - just RMO
[04:21] <Seba[1] > i don't know if it's a fan problem, i unninstalled windows so i didn't try
[04:21] <morphix> Amadeo: what ISP r u on in AUS?
[04:21] <encompass> [MySQL] [2002]  Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[04:22] <encompass> Is my error when I try to work with mysql
[04:22] <lassegs> Seba[1] : even if you think you wont use the gpu, dont use it, just send it in fast
[04:22] <Amadeo> morphix: neighbourhood cable
[04:22] <encompass> what do you think this means... do I have to starrtmysql?
[04:22] <Seba[1] > :((((
[04:22] <morphix> Amadeo: ur in NSW and on pipe :)
[04:22] <morphix> powertell it seems
[04:22] <Amadeo> morphix: im in victoria
[04:22] <lassegs> Shak-: so what do you want to use ur shared partition for?
[04:22] <Shak-> lassegs: im still not sure what to share here, would I throw in all my audio/video files onto that partition?
[04:22] <afief> is something wrong? the ubuntu forums suddenly ask me for a username and password to even look at the site
[04:22] <Amadeo> morphix: and i still dont know what pipe is
[04:22] <morphix> Amadeo: really? weird. u peer through pipe nsw..
[04:22] <wenko> bc?
[04:22] <lassegs> afief: i had that problem too
[04:23] <frogzoo> Amadeo: it's a free (ish) oz based peering service
[04:23] <afief> lassegs: how did you solve it?
[04:23] <Seba[1] > is there any way to try to make the fan start?
[04:23] <lassegs> afief: didnt
[04:23] <morphix> Amadeo: anyway.. http://mirror.isp.net.au/ftp/pub/ubuntu-releases/6.06/ubuntu-6.06-desktop-i386.iso
[04:23] <Amadeo> frogzoo: wtf.. lol sounds cool
[04:23] <Seba[1] > (i mean manually)
[04:23] <lassegs> Shak-: are you gonna use both windows and ubuntu on this computer?
[04:23] <Shak-> lassegs: yes
[04:23] <wenko> seba: power
[04:23] <morphix> Amadeo: im on pipe :)
[04:23] <Amadeo> morphix: That will let me install it on my harddrive with no issues?
[04:23] <encompass> umm... does mysql start by default in ubuntu
[04:23] <morphix> Amadeo: yeh.. unless there is hardware issues
[04:23] <encompass> I can't see it in the init
[04:24] <frogzoo> encompass: yes
[04:24] <tore> Can someone help me install irssi? after i have done ./configure i try make.. it dosnt work!
[04:24] <burepe> I am trying to add plugins to banshee and it says to put them here: $(libdir)/banshee/Banshee.Plugins where is that?
[04:24] <encompass> hmm I did that... with gallery too and it won't work
[04:24] <encompass> I get this error:
[04:24] <encompass> [MySQL] [2002]  Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[04:24] <frogzoo> encompass: /etc/rc2.d/S20mysql
[04:25] <Amadeo> morphix: thanks
[04:25] <morphix> tore: why dont u install irssi using aptitude?
[04:25] <tore> morphix,  command?
[04:25] <morphix> Amadeo: no probs
[04:25] <morphix> tore: sudo apt-get install irssi
[04:25] <encompass> nope
[04:25] <encompass> not there
[04:25] <tore> when i have installed a windows ap whit wine .. I dont find it :S
[04:25] <encompass> frogzoo: would a reinstall perhapts fix this
[04:26] <lassegs> Shak-: then i presume ur 50 gb audio video ntfs partition is also the Windows system partition, you should make one 3gig fat32(for sharing mailinbox,etc.), one swap partiition(twice ur RAM size)  and the rest is ext3.
[04:26] <lassegs> Shak-: ok?
[04:26] <morphix> tore: its best not to mess with wine.. most stuff either doesnt work.. or is slow or troublesome
[04:26] <frogzoo> encompass: hang on - while dpkg -S runs...
[04:26] <encompass> frogzoo: k?
[04:26] <dmesg> any freenode staff in here?
[04:26] <morphix> tore: just use linux stuff.. its better :)
[04:26] <tore> morphix,  say another windows emulator?
[04:26] <tore> i want to play counter strike
[04:26] <morphix> :/
[04:26] <Shak-> lassegs: ok, how about the ubuntu dapper partition?
[04:27] <encompass> tore... play tremulous
[04:27] <senshine> when installing server on a dual proc box do you need to install the 686 kernal after the install? Or is that only the desktop version you need to do that?
[04:27] <tore> morphix,  sudo apt-get install irssi dosnt work
[04:27] <morphix> tore: i only know of cedega to play windows games on linux.. but its not free.. and i havent been successful with it yet
[04:27] <frogzoo> encompass: uh oh - dpkg - reckons they don't exist, wierd cos they're there
[04:27] <gnomefreak> tore: sudo apt-get install irssi-text
[04:27] <lassegs> Shak-: the ext3 is the dapper partition,along with the swap partition which the system uses alongside the RAM
[04:27] <Larsson-Sweden> Normally, i start X without GDM. "chmod -x gdm" and a reboot fixes that. I use the command startx. Anyway, i want to use GDM now, but when using GDM, my fonts are tiny. This affects all my applications except Opera 9. Any ideas how to get the fonts a little big bigger? Even the text im typing in X-chat is tiny.
[04:27] <morphix> bleh.. irssi-text lol
[04:27] <encompass> frogzoo: we got problems then don't we
[04:28] <sycho> Has anyone tried any of the programs that claim they can write to NTFS?
[04:28] <frogzoo> senshine: install 686 after the install (which sets up 386, yes)
[04:28] <tore> gnomefreak,  still dosnt work :s
[04:28] <senshine> so you need to do that on both. Server and Desktop? Server doesnt install that kernal by default?
[04:28] <encompass> tore.. there is a great game call tremulous
[04:28] <gnomefreak> tore: type irssi in terminal please
[04:28] <frogzoo> encompass: ah, i c - you using mysql-server-5.0 ?
[04:28] <stefg> Larsson-Sweden: it's the x-servers dpi-setting...
[04:28] <encompass> yeah
[04:29] <tore> ahh
[04:29] <encompass> why?
[04:29] <lassegs> Shak-: anything else?
[04:29] <ruxpin^> where should I set the domain name?
[04:29] <gnomefreak> tore: its installed with default install of ubuntu
[04:29] <encompass> frogzoo: why?
[04:29] <frogzoo> encompass: so you have /etc/init.d/mysql ?
[04:29] <Shak-> lassegs: no, let me just run through what you said and see if i've got it all down
[04:29] <encompass> frogzoo: nopers
[04:29] <encompass> not there either
[04:29] <lassegs> Shak-: sure
[04:30] <Larsson-Sweden> stefg, ok, but it does not happen if i start X without GDM. Are you sure about this?
[04:30] <tore> Is there some one here that have a windows emulator? not whine! Pm
[04:30] <encompass> tore: get windows
[04:30] <frogzoo> encompass: dpkg -l mysql-server-5.0 ?
[04:30] <lassegs> encompass: i second that
[04:30] <tore> encompass,  neh
[04:30] <encompass> no matches
[04:31] <encompass> tore, windows is not nor every will be windows
[04:31] <gnomefreak> tore: depends on what you want to do
[04:31] <encompass> if you want windows stuff use window
[04:31] <encompass> 's
[04:31] <frogzoo> tore: wine = wine is not an emulator - but there's vmware & [k] qemu
[04:31] <encompass> I want linux so that is all I use
[04:31] <burepe> Anybody know where this is $(libdir)/banshee/Banshee.Plugins? where is $(libdir)/?
[04:31] <encompass> if there a cool new game.. I just don't get it
[04:31] <tore> i just wanna play cs
[04:31] <frogzoo> encompass: well thar's yar prablem
[04:31] <gnomefreak> tore: cedega
[04:32] <Shak-> lassegs: I only have to backup important data before altering my partition right (its not a complete format of the filesystem?)
[04:32] <encompass> frogzoo: np, thanks for the helps
[04:32] <sorush20> guys I want to change the permission of everthing that is in my user folder to my user name and my group how do I do this from the command line?
[04:32] <stefg> Larsson-Sweden: gdm starts X with a certain default dpi. check the /etc/gdm/gdm.conf ... maybe add a -dpi 72 or -dpi 96 to the line, where the X start parameters are given
[04:32] <hawkaloogie> sorush20, man chown
[04:32] <gnomefreak> sorush20: man chmod
[04:32] <Larsson-Sweden> stefg, ok, thanks!
[04:32] <lassegs> Shak-: hmm tahts only correct if youre going to use partition magic. if not, you will loose ur data
[04:32] <bimberi> sorush20: sudo chown -R user:user /home/user
[04:33] <frogzoo> encompass: np, enjoy
[04:33] <Shak-> lassegs: whoa, so how is my Windows OS preserved?
[04:33] <Shak-> I would have to reinstall windows along with all my programs?
[04:33] <thoreauputic> bimberi: pleased to see someone giving an answer after the RTFM responses ;)
[04:33] <lassegs> Shak-: how does your disks look today?
[04:34] <bimberi> thoreauputic: right on! ;)
[04:34] <thoreauputic> bimberi: :D
[04:34] <Shak-> lassegs: its loaded with all sorts of stuff, i.e. its gonna be difficult to backup everything
[04:34] <hawkaloogie> yeah, teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime, give a man a fish and he'll starve tomorrow
[04:34] <lassegs> Shak-: but its only one disk, and one partiition?
[04:35] <Larsson-Sweden> stefg, wich exact line should i type into gdm.conf ?
[04:35] <Shak-> lassegs: correct (though I think there are some dell recovery partitions that I can't see)
[04:35] <bimberi> thoreauputic: i'll have to leave it to the rtfm-ers now though,  'night
[04:36] <thoreauputic> hawkaloogie: I thought that was " Light a fire for a man and he'll be warm for a day ; set him on fire and he'll be warm fo a lifetime " ( a short one, though)
[04:37] <Jeruvy> thoreauputic: hmm I think that would equal less than a day ;)
[04:37] <lassegs> Shak-: dont mind the dell partition. then, in windows, get partition magic, buy it, or DL it, resize the NTFS partition to 50 or 40 gigs, make one fat partition(3gig) and enter the ubuntu CD and let it do the rest
[04:37] <thoreauputic> Jeruvy: indeed :)
[04:37] <stefg> Larsson-Sweden: do a search for '/usr/bin/X', that'll give you the relevant lines... add -dpi 72 to that lines
[04:37] <morphix> fat32 partition
[04:38] <thoreauputic> Jeruvy: flames and rtfm s are counter-productive methinks ;)
[04:38] <Shak-> lassegs: so what option would I select in ubuntu's partitioner
[04:38] <skavenge> anyone ever seen this error when removing packages? i get it often and dont know whats broken .. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18212 thanks
[04:38] <KnowledgEngi> hello
[04:38] <Shak-> the first option (Resize IDE master and use freed space)?
[04:38] <dwell> Does anyone know the command to leave x in ubuntu?
[04:39] <KnowledgEngi> what different: install in text mode, install in OEM mode ???
[04:39] <dwell> what would i type in terminal?
[04:39] <Kaja> dwell, define "leave"
[04:39] <Larsson-Sweden> stefg, wich is the default dpi?
[04:39] <Kaja> dwell, do you want to shut down X?
[04:39] <dwell> yes
[04:39] <thoreauputic> dwell: permanently ? sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop temporarily : ctrl -alt- backspace
[04:39] <stefg> Larsson-Sweden: 96
[04:39] <Kaja> =)
[04:40] <Spec> Is it not unusual for gparted to act like it's resizing an ntfs partition and then when it 'finishes', to look as if it hadn't touched the disk? (It certaintly doesn't resize the ntfs partition)
[04:40] <stefg> Larsson-Sweden: oh... yes make it dpi -96
[04:40] <dwell> ctrl-alt F1 ?
[04:40] <frogzoo> Spec: please don't use gparted to resize ntfs partitions
[04:40] <Spec> frogzoo: what should i use? ntfsresize ?
[04:40] <dwell> ctrl + alt + Fx does not work
[04:40] <Larsson-Sweden> stefg, well, there are a lot of lines containing "/usr/bin/X"
[04:40] <george_looney> thoreauputic: sudo "update-rc.d -f gdm remove" is permanent, isn't it?
[04:41] <dwell> thoreauputic: ?
[04:41] <thoreauputic> george_looney: yes, pretty much
[04:41] <frogzoo> Spec: partition magic or whatever - gparted needs to be v2, which dapper doesn't have
[04:41] <lassegs> Shak-: Something like  'Edit partin table manually', and from there (out of the unpartitoned diskspace)make a SWAP partition taht has twice the size of ur amount of ram, then make the rest of the unpartitioned space ext3(the ubuntu system partition). it is graphical and easy
[04:41] <Spec> george_looney: that doesnt' delete the /etc/init.d/gdm file
[04:41] <Shak-> lassegs: but all the options still completely wipe all the partitions
[04:41] <Spec> frogzoo: but i can get a gparted livecd, yes?
[04:41] <george_looney> Spec: I know, it just stops GDM from starting at init
[04:42] <Spec> it's not permanent? you can add the symlinks back
[04:42] <dwell> thoreauputic: So?
[04:42] <thoreauputic> george_looney:  echo "false" | sudo tee /etc/X11/default-display-manager  will do it too
[04:42] <thoreauputic> dwell: so - what?
[04:42] <stefg> the important one is in section [Standard-server] ... duh :-)
[04:42] <george_looney> thoreauputic: cool tip, thanks :)
[04:42] <lassegs> Shak-: not if you choose ' no i dont want to let ubuntu do it automagically, i want to manually edit the partition table'
[04:42] <thoreauputic> george_looney: that's assuming that file exists on your system
[04:42] <lassegs> Shak-: there should be an option like that
[04:43] <dwell> thoreauputic: ctrl-alt F1 ?
[04:43] <george_looney> thoreauputic: yep
[04:43] <thoreauputic> dwell:  ctrl-alt-F1 just gives you tty1
[04:43] <thoreauputic> dwell: doesn't stop X
[04:43] <Shak-> lassegs: oh, editing the unpartitioned space does not affect the existing partition whatsoever?
[04:43] <thoreauputic> X is still running on alt-F7
[04:43] <ruxpin^> where should I set the domain name? (not resolv.conf)
[04:43] <lassegs> Shak-: thats right
[04:43] <stefg> Larsson-Sweden: it should be  'command=/usr/bin/X -br -audit 0 -dpi 96'
[04:44] <ryanakca> why do I get this error:      fork failed: Cannot allocate memory      from apt/aptitude/dpkg?
[04:44] <Shak-> hmm
[04:44] <frogzoo> Spec: no, that's not the case
[04:44] <lassegs> lassegs: you catch my drift?
[04:44] <dwell> thoreauputic: ctrl-alt-backspace usually restarts it, no?
[04:44] <lassegs> Shak-: you catch my drift?
[04:44] <george_looney> ruxpin^: /etc/hostname
[04:44] <dwell> I'd do the gdm stop
[04:44] <thoreauputic> dwell: if you have gdm running , yes
[04:44] <Spec> frogzoo: hmm?
[04:44] <Shak-> lassegs: yep, im still confused about that fat32 partition, what kinds of things would I likely be sharing?
[04:44] <george_looney> ruxpin^: put your FQDN in /etc/hostname
[04:45] <Spec> is there such a thing as partially qualified domain name?
[04:45] <george_looney> Spec:/lol/ I guess not
[04:45] <ryanakca> why do I get this error:      fork failed: Cannot allocate memory      from apt/aptitude/dpkg when I have 31080k mem && 88k swap available?
[04:46] <george_looney> ryanakca: you have run out of memory dude
[04:46] <ryanakca> george_looney: more ram?
[04:46] <Bizzy> get more ram
[04:46] <ryanakca> oooh... fun....
[04:46] <Bizzy> or more swap
[04:46] <Spec> ryanakca: you could add more swap if you wanted, see if that does anything
[04:46] <frogzoo> ryanakca: maybe it's trying to allocate > 30meg?
[04:46] <oskude> ryanakca, 88k swap, thats pretty low!
[04:46] <Bizzy> more swap would be easier
[04:46] <ryanakca> oskude: :)
[04:46] <george_looney> ryanakca: you have 32MB RAM and 88k swap (its a joke)
[04:46] <Spec> ryanakca: create a 256 meg file with dd, and then do: swapon /path/to/file
[04:46] <frogzoo> ryanakca: ooh 80k swap o.O
[04:46] <lassegs> Shak-: Everything you need to write from both linux and windows u will use there. Example: I have a folder named 'school' with ots of .doc in it, and i want to do school stuff on both ubuntu and windows, so i put this folder on the shared partition
[04:47] <oskude> ryanakca, if that is in bytes
[04:47] <lassegs> Shak-: likewise with a shared mail inbox and so on
[04:47] <Shak-> ah
[04:47] <sola6662> good morning all
[04:47] <ryanakca> Spec: how? :)
[04:47] <Bizzy> i have 1.5gb ram, and i still stick 500mb swap space in, just for good measure
[04:47] <ryanakca> ok... I get the point.... I'm memory less
[04:47] <sola6662> lol
[04:47] <ryanakca> Bizzy: I have 384mb ram and 500mb swap :)
[04:47] <sola6662> i need mo ram on this POS
[04:47] <thoreauputic> ryanakca: your system has amnesia ;p
[04:48] <Spec> ryanakca: dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=132207
[04:48] <_mason> Help with my codecs please, problem seen here http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/2962/codecwe8.jpg im using the w32 codec pack found on ubuntu restricted formats wiki
[04:48] <Spec> ryanakca: mkswap swapfile
[04:48] <Spec> ryanakca: swapon swapfile
[04:48] <thoreauputic> ryanakca: that should be plenty really
[04:48] <skavenge> ive got every qt lib installed known to man yet two ./configure scripts im trying to run still cant find Qt headers and libraries, somewhat older programs and ive been told Qt may be in a different place, anyone know what I have to do to ./configure to fix it or how else to solve this?
[04:48] <sola6662> yo who knows how i can upgrade my firefox and a site to get more themes and stuff
[04:48] <oskude> ryanakca, and from 500mb you got 88kb left ?
[04:48] <lassegs> Shak-: therefore this partition usually doesnt have to be that big. maybe a few gigs..
[04:48] <Ishmael> hello, can anyone tell me how to conect to internet ubuntu on the login?
[04:48] <Spec> ryanakca: fstab will be looking like(assuming you want to keep it): /path/to/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
[04:48] <ryanakca> Spec: and will that load at boot? or do I need to recreate it?
[04:48] <Shak-> lassegs: ok to run though: Resize my NTFS partition with partition magic and create a 3gig fat32 partition (how do I specify primary/logical here?) then run ubuntu installer to create the swap space and ext3 partition for ubuntu
[04:48] <ryanakca> kk
[04:49] <kristian> Can someone help me with this code? "fakeroot sh ./ati-driver-installer-<version>.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/dapper" version is 8.26.18. "No such file or directory"
[04:49] <thoreauputic> skaven`: look for qt* -dev packages or use apt-get build-dep
[04:49] <stefg> _mason: vlc and compiz don't go along well... stop compiz and try again
[04:49] <_mason> Ahhh,
[04:49] <_mason> thanks stefg
[04:49] <skavenge> thoreauputic: all devs are installed and ive build-dep everything from kdebase on up, still cant find it
[04:49] <lassegs> Shak-: since you wont have more htan 4 partitions you can just make them all primary.
[04:49] <thoreauputic> skavenge: umm libqt*-dev

[04:50] <manuelrf> y
[04:50] <kristian> whats wrong?
[04:50] <Shak-> lassegs: I see, is that swap partition something that will show up with its own drive letter in windows?

[04:50] <Hobbsee> i got him.
[04:50] <ThunderStruck> lol
[04:50] <Ishmael> lassegs, excuse me, what have I to elaborate?
[04:50] <lassegs> Shak-: by default you wont se either the SWAP or the ext3 in windows
[04:51] <sola6662> anyone know how i can upgrade my firefox?
[04:51] <Hobbsee> i just didnt kick him fast enough
[04:51] <ryanakca> looked like the race on who got to kick :)
[04:51] <thoreauputic> Hobbsee: my script failed to fire :)
[04:51] <Hobbsee> thoreauputic: hehe.  i didnt use a script :P
[04:51] <Shak-> lassegs: oh, I thought all these partitions would show up
[04:51] <tseliot> Does anyone know the next meeting of the Council will be held?
[04:51] <Shak-> lassegs: is it because they're not either ntfs or fat?
[04:51] <lassegs> Ishmael: i dont understand your question. you want to connect to internet with ubuntu?
[04:51] <thoreauputic> Hobbsee: woah - fastest gun in the West!
[04:51] <george_looney> Ishmael: what was your problem again?
[04:51] <Hobbsee> thoreauputic: heh
[04:51] <orbin> sola6662: to what version?
[04:51] <Hobbsee> tseliot: CC?  next tuesday - ie, not tomorrow
[04:51] <ThunderStruck> ut oh
[04:51] <lassegs> Shak-: yes. but it doesnt matter that much. you can activate the viewing of them in windows
[04:52] <sola6662> um
[04:52] <Shak-> ah ok
[04:52] <sola6662> i think the newest
[04:52] <skavenge> ive got all the qt3* devs installed as well still no luck
[04:52] <george_looney> lassegs: really, how?
[04:52] <Ishmael> yes, I'm sorry, I want to connect ubuntu when I turn on the pc... do you understand? I'm not very good in english
[04:52] <pdanger> hello, there must be an easy way to config an SiS 305 chip for 1280x1024 in xorg.conf but I cant do it - anyone?
[04:52] <morphix> sola6662: have u done sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ? or sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mozilla-firefox
[04:52] <tseliot> Hobbsee: what time?
[04:52] <Shak-> lassegs: well im gonna get partition magic now, how long will you be online?
[04:52] <kristian> Can someone help me with this code? "fakeroot sh ./ati-driver-installer-<version>.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/dapper" version is 8.26.18. "No such file or directory". Sorry for this spam, but I don't think anyone did see it;P
[04:52] <george_looney> Ishmael: what typ of connection do you have?
[04:53] <orbin> sola6662: 1.5.0.4 *is* the latest stable iirc
[04:53] <Hobbsee> tseliot: no idea.  check fridge.ubuntu.com
[04:53] <sola6662> no didit know what commend to use
[04:53] <lassegs> george_looney: cant you? i thought you could, but it will only show up as some sort of unknown partition'?
[04:53] <ryanakca> Spec: thanks :)
[04:53] <george_looney> lassegs: ohhhhh, I though I could use them
[04:53] <ruxpin^> george_looney: if I use FQDN in /etc/hostname, then the command 'hostname -d' will output blank
[04:53] <_mason> stefg, no luck.. still a problem
[04:53] <lassegs> george_looney: no no
[04:53] <ryanakca> Spec: I'm going to go bug mom for more ram :)
[04:53] <Ishmael> george_looney, yes, I have an adsl connection by usb, 1MB speed
[04:54] <sola6662> havent been on this computer in forever u know
[04:54] <pdanger> anyone any ideas about xorg.conf?
[04:54] <morphix> you can view ext2 & ext3 linux partitions in windows using ext2fs
[04:54] <sola6662> hold up k
[04:54] <lassegs> Shak-: are you satisfied with my help, or do you need some more guiding?
[04:54] <tseliot> Hobbsee: I would like to become a member but I live in Italy. That's why I need the exact time
[04:54] <george_looney> ruxpin^: set kernel.domainname=<your domain> in /etc/sysctl.conf
[04:54] <MrFeetio> does ubuntu come with a firewall?
[04:54] <george_looney> lassegs: thought so
[04:54] <lassegs> morphix: but doesnt ext2fs really suck?
[04:54] <stefg> _mason: it's an xgl problem... xgl doesn't work properly yet, so don't wonder /why am i having problems/
[04:54] <Hobbsee> tseliot: check fridge.ubuntu.com  it tells you a lot
[04:54] <Shak-> lassegs: your help was outstanding :)
[04:54] <tseliot> there's nothing on the fridge. I suppose I'll wait for news there
[04:54] <orbin> !fixres pdanger
[04:55] <ubotu> I know nothing about fixres pdanger - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:55] <morphix> lassegs: err??? seems to read my ext3 partitions perfect
[04:55] <orbin> !fixres > pdanger
[04:55] <gatekeeper> kristian: have you made ati-driver-installer executable?
[04:55] <lassegs> Shak-: great ;) good luck
[04:55] <george_looney> MrFeetio: Yes
[04:55] <MrFeetio> i suggets going to compiz.net ofr install it and xgl i found the other how-tos incomplete
[04:55] <pdanger> orbin: what is fixres?
[04:55] <kristian> gatekeeper: What does that mean?
[04:55] <RvGaTe> gatekeeper, you have the exact same nickname i had like 7 years ago... :P
[04:55] <lassegs> morphix: ok, i just thought it was slow and shitty, but i havent used it for some time now
[04:55] <george_looney> Ishmael: hang on for a while
[04:56] <Ishmael> thanks george_looney I wait
[04:56] <orbin> pdanger: check your pms
[04:56] <Amadeo> whats a better partition for ubuntu? Reiser or ext3 and what is the difference
[04:56] <orbin> pdanger: ubotu sent you some info
[04:56] <webben1> i've install realplayer and it seems to work for live streams ... but when i click on a ram file in epiphany it loads totem, which can't play it. What can i do?
[04:56] <dmsantam> Amadeo, if unsure, use ext3
[04:56] <Amadeo> wtf is ext3 anyhow
[04:57] <lassegs> Amadeo: if you dont know anything about them use ext3
[04:57] <stefg> webben1: check the right click menu.... *yes* all of the tabs
[04:57] <pdanger> orbin: er..sorry, what pms? (I am looking at the link from ubotu)
[04:57] <Amadeo> can i get msn messenger to work on linux? not gaim cause i hate that.. but msn messenger
[04:57] <lassegs> Amadeo: its a filesystem like WIndows' NTFS
[04:57] <dmsantam> Amadeo, ext3 is the "standard" linux filesystem
[04:57] <gatekeeper> you have to change the permissions on ati-driver-installer (which is an install script) to executable if you want it to run
[04:57] <lassegs> Amadeo: you can use aMSN
[04:57] <george_looney> Ishmael: how did you setup your adsl connection?
[04:57] <morphix> ext2 USED to be the standard linux partition
[04:57] <Amadeo> amsn? sounds cool
[04:57] <george_looney> Ishmael: did you use pppoeconf?
[04:57] <morphix> now its ext3
[04:58] <RvGaTe> Amadeo, MSN Messenger  = windows... you could try Wine to get it working tho...
[04:58] <Amadeo> isnt cedega wine
[04:58] <frogzoo> george_looney: pppoe grief?
[04:58] <morphix> Amadeo: use aMSN or GAIM for msn protocol on linux
[04:58] <skavenge> paid for wine unless you use the old free one
[04:58] <lassegs> Amadeo: download aMSN to windows and check it out there. ALthough i would prefer GAIM
[04:58] <webben1> stefg: sorry ... what do you mean "yes all the tabs?"
[04:58] <kristian> Amaedo: I use Amsn now, I don't like it, it's strange i think... I really want msn messenger:)
[04:58] <gatekeeper> kristian: man chmod
[04:58] <RvGaTe> Amadeo, those are 2 different apps that do the same, emulate windows...
[04:58] <frogzoo> skavenge: wine is free ?!
[04:58] <george_looney> frogzoo: Ishmael wants to connect to the net on boot
[04:58] <gatekeeper> RvGaTe: it's all mine now :-)
[04:59] <Spec> ryanakca: did that work?
[04:59] <Lynoure> wine is free in ubuntu :)
[04:59] <orbin> pdanger: private messages
[04:59] <skavenge> frogzoo: uh yeah, along with an old cedega version
[04:59] <Amadeo> but is wine and cedega the same thing?
[04:59] <Jack_Sparrow> I have Kubuntu INstalled on another machine and it stopped seeing the internet but I do still show both network cards.  THis was working before the wife did "SOmething, but she is not sure what."
[04:59] <gatekeeper> Lynoure: yep
[04:59] <lassegs> Amadeo: no its not hte same
[04:59] <RvGaTe> gatekeeper, yes, but a bit unoriginal after 7 years :P
[04:59] <stefg> webben1: in the properties dialog of nautilus there is a tab 'open with'... guess what it does
[04:59] <frogzoo> george_looney: as long as pppoe already works, adding 'auto dsl-provider' to /etc/network/interfaces should do it
[04:59] <lassegs> Amadeo: wine is primarly for applications, cedega is for gaming
[04:59] <george_looney> ok
[04:59] <Ishmael> yes I want to do it, but I can't
[04:59] <pdanger> orbin: got it - thanx
[04:59] <Amadeo> cool
[04:59] <kristian> gatekeeper: How do i use chmod?
[05:00] <george_looney> frogzoo: cool
[05:00] <webben1> stefg: ah ... i see, you didn't mention nautilus so i thought you were talking about epiphany
[05:00] <SpookyET> Hi! I got a little problem.  After I login, a brown screen appears. The panels do not appear.  I think that some gnome init script might be corrupt.  It only does this for a specific username, not all users.
[05:00] <skavenge> wine works fine with alot of games as well
[05:00] <RvGaTe> lassegs, cedega wasn't free right ?
[05:00] <george_looney> Ishmael: did you do what frogzoo said
[05:00] <ddonky> how does one know what kind of mobo they have 'lspci -vv' doesnt show who makes it?
[05:00] <skavenge> old cvs version of cedega is free, for new releases you have to pay
[05:00] <lassegs> RvGaTe: no its not, but its cheap
[05:00] <Ishmael> george_looney, what did he say? if you don't write my name I can't see the message please
[05:00] <Paddy_EIRE> hey there
[05:00] <Ishmael> can you repeat george_looney ?
[05:01] <george_looney> Ishmael: Add "auto dsl-provider" in /etc/network/interfaces
[05:01] <ddonky> how does one know what kind of mobo they have?
[05:01] <george_looney> Ishmael: just above the "iface dsl-provider inet ppp" line
[05:01] <Ishmael> george_looney, and then must I to resestart the computer?
[05:02] <stefg> webben1: oh, so you're talking about streaming... hmm that's different, don't know about epiphanys streaming configuration
[05:02] <Jack_Sparrow> ddonky: I use everesthome on XP not sure of equivalent for Linux
[05:02] <frogzoo> Ishmael: only way to test
[05:02] <gatekeeper> kristian: something like sudo chmod +x ati-driver-installer, but if you first do ls -l you will be able to see the permissions on that file
[05:02] <george_looney> Ishmael: do a poff
[05:02] <george_looney> Ishmael: then do a /etc/init.d/networking restart
[05:03] <webben1> stefg: well, i'm not entirely sure whether it's streaming this file or downloading it (i tend to find ram files particularly confusing in that respect, because some downloaded ram files seem to be little more than pointers to streams)
[05:03] <george_looney> Ishmael: I hope you are using "sudo" to do the root commands
[05:03] <Paddy_EIRE> does anyone know if I can convert my filesystem form ext2, ext3 to Reiserfs while preserving my data
[05:03] <Ishmael> george_looney, yes I'll use sudo, I'm going to try
[05:04] <george_looney> Ishmael: good
[05:04] <Ishmael> later I tell you if I have do it correctly
[05:04] <george_looney> Paddy_EIRE: I don't think it is possible ala FAT16=>FAT32
[05:04] <kristian> gatekeeper: What am i looking for, i have paste "ls -l"
[05:05] <george_looney> Paddy_EIRE: you will have to move your data and reformat the ext2/3 partition to reiser
[05:05] <Spec> frogzoo: so you don't suggest using gparted's 2.5 livecd to resize ntfs?
[05:05] <SpookyET> george_looney: Do you know anything about my problem, mentioned above?
[05:05] <frogzoo> Spec: no
[05:05] <webben1> stefg: i'm guessing epiphany's using a gnome default setting ... but it's difficult to tell because if you just double click on a ram file you get a security notice telling you to use Open with... because it's dangerous
[05:05] <Spec> frogzoo: would you suggest using any oss software to do such a thing?
[05:05] <Paddy_EIRE> ahh ok, then can you think oh a less headache inducing way of doing this george_looney
[05:05] <webben1> but how in theory could i set the preferred application for ram files?
[05:06] <frogzoo> Spec: something with gparted v2 will do the job
[05:06] <george_looney> Paddy_EIRE: not really
[05:06] <Paddy_EIRE> oh
[05:06] <Paddy_EIRE> is Reiserfs the best avail filesys at the mo
[05:06] <Spec> frogzoo: doesn't gparted's livecd come with gparted v2?
[05:06] <george_looney> SpookyET: could you please repeat it for me, I'm really old at 29!
[05:06] <lassegs> where do you specify preferred applications like multimedia, imageshowing, odts and so on? all in one place or each individually?
[05:06] <mlehrer_> Paddy_EIRE: that is a subjective question!
[05:06] <george_looney> Paddy_EIRE: depends on what you want to do
[05:07] <mlehrer_> i use ext3 for / and xfs for everything else
[05:07] <mlehrer_> fwiw
[05:07] <SpookyET> george_looney: (11:00:11) SpookyET: Hi! I got a little problem.  After I login, a brown screen appears. The panels do not appear.  I think that some gnome init script might be corrupt.  It only does this for a specific username, not all users.
[05:07] <webben1> seems to me "Preferred Applications" could do with a lot of expansion to deal with mime types
[05:07] <Paddy_EIRE> general usage with as fast as possible fileSys
[05:07] <skavenge> can someone tell me why during a ./configure for a compile it cant find Qt libs/headers even though i KNOW they are installed??
[05:07] <Paddy_EIRE> just trying to get the best from my machine
[05:07] <mlehrer_> skavenge: different versions?  maybe you have the so's but not the headers?
[05:08] <george_looney> SpookyET: delete the user in question - after copying his files somewhere else, and recreate him
[05:08] <morphix> skavenge: so you're sure u have libqt-dev ?
[05:08] <gnomefreak> skavenge: try in #kubuntu
[05:08] <frogzoo> Spec: noafaik
[05:08] <lassegs> SpookyET: the lame but easy way to fix it is obviously to backup data and delete /home/username/
[05:08] <skavenge> #kubuntu has no answers whatsoever
[05:08] <Spec> k
[05:08] <skavenge> yes libqt-dev is installed
[05:08] <george_looney> Paddy_EIRE: XFS/JFS/Reiser are good choices
[05:08] <Paddy_EIRE> kk
[05:08] <skavenge> and im over the version of Qt I need by a mile, it needs to be greater than or equal to
[05:08] <SpookyET> lassegs: The problem is that that is the only user that has access to sudo.
[05:08] <george_looney> Paddy_EIRE: go for Reiser, I use it myself
[05:08] <Paddy_EIRE> what do u use if you dont mind me asking george_looney
[05:08] <SpookyET> How does one add other users to the sudoers list?
[05:09] <Amadeo1988> Whats good about reiser?
[05:09] <lassegs> SpookyET: then do it from tty1?
[05:09] <morphix> SpookyET: edit /etc/sudoers
[05:09] <jrib> SpookyET: the admin group is in the sudoers list, so just add the user to the admin group
[05:09] <Paddy_EIRE> k
[05:09] <SpookyET> Thank you.
[05:09] <Paddy_EIRE> gonna need an external drive for backup
[05:09] <Paddy_EIRE> just to convert unfortunatley
[05:10] <george_looney> Paddy_EIRE: I had seen some benchmarks of JFS/XFS/Ext3 and Reiser long time ago
[05:10] <gatekeeper> kristian: if you look at the file details/info for that file does it just r and/or w of is there an x there too?
[05:10] <Fjodor> How does one edit which commands correspond to the entries in the System menu? It seems to use gksudo for sudo, and that doesn't respect NOPASSWD: in /etc/sudoers. gksu -S does
[05:10] <Paddy_EIRE> pitty u cant do like FAT32 to NTFS conversion
[05:10] <george_looney> Paddy_EIRE: Reiser came out tops in most, XFS/JFS and Reiser beat Ext3 hands down
[05:10] <Enverex> You can in Windows, heh
[05:10] <kristian> gatekeeper: -rwxr-xr-x  : Is that the details/info?
[05:11] <telmich> noone wants to use reiser, anyway
[05:11] <Fjodor> morphix, SpookyET: /etc/sudoers should always be edited by visudo
[05:11] <RichEd> once i have installed Ubuntu, i can view windows XP NTFS files on the HDD : isn't this a way to bypass windows security ?
[05:11] <george_looney> Paddy_EIRE: it is difficult to do that
[05:11] <brimstone> how do i tell which kernel module is providing eth0 and eth1 ?
[05:11] <Paddy_EIRE> why doesnt ubuntu use this ReiserFS as default???
[05:11] <Amadeo1988> surely resier or xfs or whatever must have some kinda downfall too ext3
[05:11] <frogzoo> what's the url for zope's management screen?
[05:11] <Fjodor> RichEd: Windows what now?
[05:11] <Fjodor> RichEd: :-)
[05:12] <morphix> Fjodor: manually editing /etc/sudoers just using nano or such has worked for me.. and i've always done it that way
[05:12] <george_looney> Paddy_EIRE: Reiser is not in the mainstream Linux kernel
[05:12] <Paddy_EIRE> ahh, kk
[05:12] <HackerGates> join #Ubuntu-it
[05:12] <Fjodor> morphix: Well, I made a typo in it once, which prevented sudo from running (and thus me editing it again)
[05:12] <george_looney> Paddy_EIRE: Ext3 is the default Linux FS so I guess Ubuntu uses it
[05:13] <Fjodor> morphix: visudo checks for that, and is, on ubuntu, set to use nano
[05:13] <Amadeo1988> XFS and others, are they well compatible for writing too from windows, if i had the apprioate software?
[05:13] <Foobal> it's shame the default is ext3.. it performs bad with a lot of files. xfs then again for instance would not and it would be aok for most of the present ext3 users as the default too
[05:13] <Paddy_EIRE> is there any way I can see FS types avail during the normal Ubuntu install
[05:13] <morphix> Fjodor: eh.. i havent had the unfortunte time of making a typo in it yet
[05:13] <Paddy_EIRE> it decides for u
[05:13] <mlehrer_> Paddy_EIRE: i grub or lilo may have trouble with non-ext3.  perhaps it's better now, but i have had issues in the past
[05:14] <mlehrer_> which is why i use it for / (/boot)
[05:14] <Paddy_EIRE> ohh
[05:14] <Spec> frogzoo: http://localhost:8080/manage by default?
[05:14] <gatekeeper> george_looney: occasion I have to reboot my modem followed by router is /etc/init.d/networking restart a good command to kick my network etc back into life so I can use the internet etc?
[05:14] <Paddy_EIRE> all worth considering
[05:14] <webben1> that's interesting: gnome can't recognise a ram file that points to a stream: "rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/bbc7/1800_sat.ra" -- it forces you to use open with
[05:14] <Fjodor> morphix: Good for you :-) But it's always nice to be safe
[05:14] <webben1> (because it looks like a text file)
[05:14] <george_looney> gatekeeper: yes
[05:14] <morphix> Fjodor: yeh
[05:14] <Fjodor> morphix: Command is sudo visudo :-)
[05:14] <gatekeeper> george_looney: thanx :-)
[05:15] <george_looney> gatekeeper: you are welcome
[05:15] <RichEd> Fjodor: isn't this a back door into someone's PC - boot from a Ubuntu Live CD, rsize partition, make a 2GB install partition & bill's world is open for all to see ?
[05:15] <void^> george_looney: reiser3 has been in linux for ages
[05:15] <ryanakca> Spec: yeah
[05:15] <Foobal> reiser3 is out already
[05:15] <Spec> RichEd: you could just boot from a cd and you can see all of bill's world
[05:15] <Fjodor> RichEd: As far as I can see, yes.
[05:15] <njan> RichEd, having physical access to and/or being able to boot alternative media on a PC has *always* been a backdoor into someone's PC.
[05:16] <kristian> gatekeeper: -rwxr-xr-x  : Is that the details/info?
[05:16] <lassegs> void^: 2.4.1 actually
[05:16] <george_looney> void^: reiser3 is old, reiser4 is the current one
[05:16] <Spec> RichEd: even in linux ... you can boot into single user mode often times without a password and get a full root environment
[05:16] <Fjodor> njan: Also with encrypted fs'es?
[05:16] <njan> RichEd, if you're running linux with grub, you don't even have to go that far, with the default config, you can hit e, edit the boot config to boot into single user mode, and boot straight into single user mode with mo password as root.
[05:16] <njan> Fjodor, no, depending upon the FS. Generally not.
[05:16] <morphix> RichEd: or just use Windows PE which gives write access to everything.. and also write access to their SAM file (u can add new users/change pass's) :P
[05:16] <Spec> njan: but there are ways to password single
[05:16] <george_looney> void^: Hans recommends everyone to move to Reiser V4
[05:17] <njan> Spec, and there are ways to prevent an ubuntu liveCD from backdooring windows :)
[05:17] <njan> Spec, the point is that generally they aren't configured.
[05:17] <gatekeeper> george_looney: I wasn't sure how to do that without a reboot untill you told someone else to use that command :-)
[05:17] <void^> george_looney: hans recommends many things, that's why reiser4 isn't in linux :] 
[05:17] <RichEd> just a curiosity question ... while i complete my installs ... not intending to do anything evil ;)
[05:17] <njan> Spec, but physical access pretty much trumps everything.
[05:17] <lassegs> doesnt SuSE use reiser?
[05:17] <morphix> lassegs: yes its default
[05:17] <Spec> njan: how do you prevent livecd from backdooring windows?
[05:17] <Paddy_EIRE> bios password, although that can be circumvented
[05:17] <njan> Spec, turn of booting from CDs in the bios?
[05:17] <njan> *off
[05:17] <george_looney> void^: Well, that is for Hans and the kernel Gods to decide
[05:17] <Awesome-o2000> what is the app used by ubuntu to view (not edit) images?
[05:18] <Fjodor> Awesome-o2000: eog is nice
[05:18] <njan> Spec, and then password protect the BIOS, weld the case shut, and physically remove the CD Rom drive, floppy drive, and USB ports. :)
[05:18] <Spec> njan: oh, okay, i thought you were suggesting windows might have had some sort of security capabillities
[05:18] <Paddy_EIRE> Eye of gnome
[05:18] <Paddy_EIRE> defalut viewer
[05:18] <njan> Spec, in vista you have bitlocker which does whole drive encryption and in XP you have EFS, but EFS only protects user data.
[05:18] <gatekeeper> kristian: those permissions look ok, must be something else, possible a command in the script that does not exist and need installing, I am not really sure
[05:18] <morphix> lol windows security
[05:18] <Awesome-o2000> the one used to do a view of photos if you download them in firefox
[05:18] <Jeruvy> Spec: it does if you use EFS.
[05:18] <morphix> LOL yeh.. right and i'm god
[05:18] <george_looney> void^: its because Hans has reservations against reformatting his code that Reiser4 is being kept out
[05:18] <Bizzy> EFS sucks
[05:18] <Spec> njan: oh, vista can encrypt it's filesystem?
[05:18] <Bizzy> bitlocker rocks
[05:18] <njan> morphix, you just content yourself with the fact that the bank you use uses windows then :)
[05:18] <njan> Spec, yes.
[05:19] <njan> Spec, very effectively, with TPM integration.
[05:19] <Bizzy> spec: xp can, its jut SLOW at it
[05:19] <Bizzy> vista does it properly
[05:19] <morphix> njan: actually. mine uses MAC OSX
[05:19] <Bizzy> its something i would like to see in linux
[05:19] <Jeruvy> is this the vista channel ;)
[05:19] <Spec> can you trust that they(microsoft) doesn't read your information?
[05:19] <njan> Bizzy, that's because vista leverages hardware designed for it, XP uses software encryption which is always going to necessitate slowdown.
[05:19] <ForeClosure> hello
[05:20] <lassegs> yo
[05:20] <njan> morphix, I doubt they use no windows at all, and even if they do, you can be comforted by the fact that the NSA and most of the world's largest banks do :)
[05:20] <Fjodor> How does one edit which commands correspond to the entries in the System menu? It seems to use gksudo for sudo, and that doesn't respect NOPASSWD: in /etc/sudoers. gksu -S does
[05:20] <ForeClosure> i think i need some help here
[05:20] <seamus_ie> Bizzy: linux has supported encrypted file systems for a long time
[05:20] <darekdmp> jest tu jaki polak?
[05:20] <george_looney> ForeClosure: go on ask
[05:20] <gnomefreak> !pl
[05:20] <ubotu> Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[05:20] <Bizzy> barclays bank runs on windows
[05:20] <ForeClosure> when i installed unbuntu .. it didnt ask me for my root password
[05:20] <njan> Bizzy, indeed, linux has several methods of doing it.
[05:20] <morphix> njan: certainly not a good thought :/
[05:20] <Bizzy> natwest runs on solaris
[05:20] <ForeClosure> so i have no idea whats my root password ..
[05:20] <Paddy_EIRE> u must create root
[05:20] <Bizzy> TSB runs their own custom cooked up linux
[05:20] <Paddy_EIRE> then password
[05:20] <njan> morphix, put it this way - I guarantee that the NSA know more about computer security than you do..
[05:20] <gnomefreak> ForeClosure: user password
[05:20] <KenSentMe> !root > ForeClosure
[05:20] <lassegs> ForeClosure: it just asked u for a user password?
[05:21] <george_looney> ForeClosure: root password is disabled
[05:21] <lassegs> ForeClosure: thats the idea with ubuntu
[05:21] <Fjodor> ForeClosure: Sure you want to have root?
[05:21] <darekdmp> jest tu kto z polski?
[05:21] <josh__> man... this system has been kicking my @rse since the dist-up. i just now managed to get irc to connect...
[05:21] <morphix> njan: sure do.. but windows is so insecure.
[05:21] <jrib> !pl
[05:21] <ubotu> Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[05:21] <josh__> quick question
[05:21] <gnomefreak> darekdmp: join #ubuntu-pl
[05:21] <ForeClosure> well .. im new to Ubuntu
[05:21] <njan> morphix, no it isn't, you just don't understand it.
[05:21] <lassegs> ForeClosure: just use sudo
[05:21] <josh__> what do i have to do to be able to do an init 6?
[05:21] <josh__> without being root
[05:21] <KenSentMe> !root
[05:21] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:21] <Fjodor> ForeClosure: The idea is to use sudo instead
[05:21] <morphix> njan: i do understand it
[05:21] <jrib> ForeClosure: easiest way to catch up is to read the wiki doc the bot sent :)
[05:21] <josh__> sudo init 6 doesn't work
[05:21] <njan> morphix, but this is rather OT for this channel, I'd be happy to enlighten you if you want to /join #windows or #security :)
[05:22] <lassegs> ForeClosure: it will ask for ur user password and bam uve got su privileges
[05:22] <george_looney> josh__: sudo telinit 6
[05:22] <ForeClosure> ohhh
[05:22] <josh__> tried... nothin
[05:22] <josh__> i have to be root
[05:22] <ForeClosure> so my user password has privileges for SU ?
[05:22] <george_looney> josh__: sudo -i
[05:22] <josh__> what group am i missing that i need to be apart of?
[05:22] <KenSentMe> ForeClosure: please read the wiki page
[05:22] <lassegs> ForeClosure: not exactly., read it
[05:22] <Fjodor> josh__: adm IIRC
[05:22] <ForeClosure> okie
[05:23] <Paddy_EIRE> george_looney : How do I choose reiser while installing Ubuntu the live cd graphical way
[05:23] <josh__> iirc for init6?
[05:23] <josh__> that doesn't sound right
[05:23] <lassegs> Paddy_EIRE: manually edit partition table
[05:23] <kristian> gatekeeper: ok. I don't know what to do anyway;P
[05:23] <Paddy_EIRE> im not sure about the text way
[05:23] <Fjodor> josh__: IIRC = If I Recall Correctly :-)
[05:23] <lassegs> Paddy_EIRE: its graphical
[05:23] <Paddy_EIRE> ahh
[05:23] <Spec> njan: ubuntu-offtopic, you say windows isn't insecure? o.O
[05:23] <josh__> oh
[05:23] <josh__> lol
[05:24] <george_looney> Paddy_EIRE: I'm not sure I can help you there, I used the "Alternate" C
[05:24] <josh__> that sounds better
[05:24] <Bizzy> Spec: windows isnt insecure, but it isnt secure also
[05:24] <Awesome-o2000> what is the program AKA "Image Viewer" in ubuntu?
[05:24] <Bizzy> i havnt ever once had any virus on this pc
[05:24] <Kobalt_67> Hi everyone,
[05:24] <josh__> ok well ill worry about the init thing later... my issue right now is... anyone know how to make freenx work on dapper?
[05:24] <Paddy_EIRE> What is thi Alternative anyhow am I missing out
[05:24] <Spec> Bizzy: doesn't mean the bank doesn't
[05:24] <njan> windows is an OS, and security doesn't come as a product feature - security is *the* product of how you treat your software, and in that respect, windows is just as capable of being secured as linux or any other OS.
[05:24] <seamus_ie> Bizzy:  define secure
[05:24] <Kobalt_67> did any of you got wierd reactions of your metacity themes with today's compiz update ?
[05:24] <Fjodor> josh__: And I was wrong. admin is the group
[05:25] <morphix> Awesome-o2000: usually with a gnome environment its EOG (eye of gnome)
[05:25] <gnomefreak> guys join #ubuntu-offtopic for windows talk
[05:25] <Spec> njan: yes, that's true -- we can take it off the network and that's the only way it'll be secure
[05:25] <njan> seamus_ie, the state of protecting your information and systems to an extent which costs you less than the price of that security being breached.
[05:25] <Awesome-o2000> thank you
[05:25] <josh__> i have it installed... my client machine is running nomachine with the cutsom key i ported.... but it fails at public auth...
[05:25] <josh__> why?
[05:25] <njan> Spec, that pretty much applies to everything, depending upon your view of "Security".
[05:25] <Fjodor> josh__: Sorry, no idea
[05:25] <lassegs> Spec: remember locking the door to the computer room
[05:25] <b1shop> i'm having php/mysql issues.  i have mysql and php installed.  and i have phpadmin working..  but oddly enough phpinfo() shows NO mysql support!?
[05:25] <Spec> josh__: it doesn't really support custom key creation
[05:25] <Bizzy> seamus_ie: well, since 90% of earth uses it, the relitive % of exploits available is less than for linux
[05:25] <george_looney> Paddy_EIRE: its for text mode install and upgrade, I think
[05:25] <yggdrasil> hello folks, is it me or does evolutions junk filter suck compared to thunderbirds ?? i like the app but its not filtering my junk mail, anyone have suggestions ?
[05:25] <josh__> spec... breezy didn't have a problem with it...?
[05:25] <gatekeeper> kristian: everyone seems to have trouble with ati cards and linux, all I can suggest is ask again latter and/or do a bit of googling to see if anyone has got the same problem, sorry could be more helpfull
[05:26] <lassegs> well, i gotta go folks. keep up the good work. c ya
[05:26] <Spec> josh__: dunno ... are you using freenx?
[05:26] <josh__> yep
[05:26] <frogzoo> gatekeeper: which card?
[05:26] <Spec> josh__: the current release of freenx doesnt' work with the newest nomachine client
[05:26] <george_looney> lassegs: later
[05:26] <Paddy_EIRE> george_looney do u think maybe I can use this "alternative" to convert my FS
[05:26] <Spec> josh__: get a 1.5 nomachine client
[05:26] <Paddy_EIRE> without data loss
[05:26] <Ishmael> hi again george_looney
[05:26] <george_looney> Paddy_EIRE: nope sorry :)
[05:26] <josh__> ....ok
[05:26] <Paddy_EIRE> k
[05:26] <george_looney> hey Ishmael
[05:26] <josh__> lemme see if that works
[05:26] <Paddy_EIRE> just checkin
[05:26] <Spec> josh__: you're using the newest client with freenx, right?
[05:26] <Ishmael> george_looney, it doesn't work
[05:27] <kristian> gatekeeper: Yeah. I have tried to fix the ati driver for my ati 9800 pro in four weeks now, but I don't give up ;)
[05:27] <george_looney> Paddy_EIRE: how much data do you have anyway?
[05:27] <Spec> !freenx
[05:27] <ubotu> freenx is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreeNX
[05:27] <Paddy_EIRE> 80 gig
[05:27] <george_looney> Ishmael: what happens?
[05:27] <gatekeeper> frogzoo: kristian is the one that needs help, he is trying to install a driver and it's giving him problems
[05:27] <frogzoo> kristian: which card?
[05:27] <morphix> kristian: if ur on a x86 system i could help u.. as i also have that card
[05:27] <seamus_ie> Paddy_EIRE: what are you trying to if you dont mind me asking
[05:27] <Ishmael> george_looney, I did as you said but when I restarted it didn't connect on boot
[05:27] <teicah> how do i add gnome-terminal to my root menu?
[05:27] <morphix> frogzoo: kristian gatekeeper: Yeah. I have tried to fix the ati driver for my ati 9800 pro in four weeks now, but I don't give up ;)
[05:28] <george_looney> Paddy_EIRE: OMG!!!!!
[05:28] <kristian> morphix: yes, I installed on the x32 (normal) then updated it
[05:28] <Spec> josh__: from wiki: Note on nomachine web site there is new version off nxclient version 2.0 and it don't work with freenx so you should better use nxclient from [WWW]  Seveas' Packages!
[05:28] <Paddy_EIRE> seamus_ie: trying to convert to ResierFS without loosing my data
[05:28] <Paddy_EIRE> rather large backup

[05:29] <dr_> Hi, Anybody know about firefox? I have lost save page as and dl history function.

[05:30] <josh__> piposh... disc been checked for integrity?
[05:30] <kristian> morphix: I can't enable the ati driver. There is no error, but I have tried many guides and no one have worked.
[05:30] <Ishmael> george_looney, how can I connect my modem to internet when I'm already in ubuntu? I ask it because I have to complete an assistant and write the domain and pass when I want to connect
[05:30] <Piposh> what do you mean josh__?
[05:30] <george_looney> Ishmael: it asks somewhere "Do you want to start ppp at boot?"
[05:30] <Piposh> I did check the ISO's MD5 and it was fine if thats what you mean
[05:30] <josh__> oh thats right...ubuntu 6 dont ask for that
[05:30] <george_looney> Ishmael: what are you using to connect to the net?
[05:31] <josh__> are there any scratches on it? (or did you dl it?)
[05:31] <Ishmael> an adsl assistant george_looney
[05:31] <Piposh> yes I have DLed it and burned today
[05:31] <Piposh> with MagicISO

[05:32] <josh__> ForeClosure: get the codecs
[05:32] <Ishmael> no, it's because I don't exactly use ubutu, I use guadalinex, a version from andalucia of ubuntu
[05:32] <morphix> kristian: nope
[05:32] <gnomefreak> J_P: dont know
[05:32] <frogzoo> Spec: localhost:8081/manage - wow, I feel silly
[05:32] <josh__> and use xine/mplayer
[05:32] <jas4cad> i just heard there was issues with ubuntu's implementation
[05:33] <Ishmael> no, it's because I don't exactly use ubutu, I use guadalinex, a version from andalucia of ubuntu george_looney
[05:33] <Paddy_EIRE> Is there anyway I can create a custum install cd for ubuntu with my current setup progs and settings for a nice hastle free install
[05:33] <kristian> morphix: I have to register, http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#privmsg )

[05:33] <Piposh> josh__ any clue what should I do then?
[05:33] <MusicEatingPanda> What program is there to Edit Video?
[05:33] <george_looney> Ishmael: in that case you will have to ask the guadalinux people :(
[05:34] <kristian> seamus_ie: Where do I write that?
[05:34] <gnomefreak> teicah: ctrl+alt+backspace to restart gnome
[05:34] <gnomefreak> brb
[05:34] <seamus_ie> kristian:  in the box you type everything else in
[05:34] <SS2> jas4cad, just take a try, it is based on the gecko engine from firefox and with a better GNOME integration
[05:34] <ForeClosure> josh__: error

[05:34] <Ishmael> george_looney, but I don't found answer, and guadalinex is the same as ubuntu
[05:34] <josh__> hmmm... well i would say give it another shot maybe it missed a file or something happened during the dl/burn process but that is time consuming...
[05:34] <morphix> kristian: actually u dont need to register.. i can disable the "require registered users" feature
[05:34] <josh__> fore... close synaptic
[05:34] <jas4cad> okie thx ss2
[05:34] <MusicEatingPanda> justa simple program name will help
[05:34] <seamus_ie> ForeClosure:  close synaptic
[05:34] <kristian> seamus_ie: The nickname kristian is already registered
[05:35] <Ishmael> george_looney, but I know that it can connect on boot if I try
[05:35] <seamus_ie> kristian:  well then your going to have to get another name
[05:35] <josh__> does it say it is missing a file or anything?
[05:35] <george_looney> MusicEatingPanda: what program do you want again?

[05:40] <Piposh> btw josh__ , perhaps its because of the way I made the new partitions? I have left C:\ partition only, and created two partitions for the linux, about 20gb for the root dir and 8g for the swap dir, both are 3ext filesystem, and I had to leave about 8mb space that i wont use for some reason because it wont let me install it on those two partitions otherwise
[05:40] <Pupeno> The documentation /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-5.0/README.Debian.gz says that for setting up a MySQL cluster, the config file /etc/mysql/ndb_mgmd.cnf is needed but it says nothing about what it should contain. Is it the same as the config.ini described here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-cluster-quick.html ?

[05:44] <webben1> does anyone know exactly what defines a .ram (Real Audio Media) file for Ubuntu?
[05:44] <josh__> i modded the /etc/passwd file... i didn't make changes to the /etc/group file... do i need to?

[05:49] <Paddy_EIRE> there must be a similar alternative Evolution plugin for Junk mail Filtering Anyone??
[05:49] <gatekeeper> teicah: use K3b Tools -> Copy CD...
[05:49] <torpedo|dog> Gassed: in your homedir, hit ctrl+h to show your hidden files.
[05:49] <smoofra> does anyone know how to make a custom ubuntu install cd?
[05:49] <Gassed> torpedo|dog: ok thanks
[05:50] <teicah> orbin: yes, but it's 10 miles away.. will do later..

[05:58] <Infern0o> cappicard: ipw2200
[05:58] <Jack_Sparrow> NOt if it is Broadcom
[05:58] <torpedo|dog> _BASO_: you can also add the "force quit" button to your panel.
[05:58] <_BASO_> it will be my favorite command :)
 what router model u using
[05:58] <Infern0o> it's an ipw2200 :)
[05:58] <Infern0o> ah, Paddy_EIRE linksys54g :)
[05:58] <OneSeventeen> I can connect to wireless networks easily with network manager, but only my home network lets me on the internet, any ideas what is causing this?
[05:58] <Infern0o> wrt*

[05:58] <Paddy_EIRE> infernOo: check this out if it helps http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26623
[05:58] <torpedo|dog> Right click on your panel (that's the toolbar on top of your screen)
[05:58] <gatekeeper> teicah: I would have thought you already had a gnone cd/dvd burner already installed that would do the trick
[05:58] <_BASO_> ok, than ? Program Luncher?
[05:58] <Infern0o> Paddy, that's for hoary
[05:58] <torpedo|dog> then select "add to panel", and find the desired panelgoodie, in your case, "Force Quit".

[05:58] <sri_> how to open mails through terminal?Is it possible?
[05:58] <_BASO_> but I am using XFCE... :(
[05:58] <gatekeeper> webben1: there are several methods for installing realplayer the one I found most reliable was using the deb
[05:58] <torpedo|dog> Oh, my bad.
[05:58] <Infern0o> hehe, i've tried that yesterday, but it doesn't work anymore
[05:58] <torpedo|dog> You'd probably want to do a program launcher for a custom command 'xkill' I imagine then.
[05:58] <sri_> What is the process for opennig our mails through terminal
[05:58] <webben1> gatekeeper: that is the deb i'm talking about -- i'm trying to install the "more official" one from multiverse to confirm a bug
[05:58] <skavenge> how can i reset /dev/dsp?
[05:58] <ForeClosure> errr
[05:58] <ForeClosure> Could not save the file /etc/apt/sources.list.

[05:58] <colk> are you root or sudoed?
[05:58] <yabba> sudo
[05:58] <seamus_ie> sri_: mutt is by far the best terminal mail prog
[05:58] <yabba> you cannot edit /etc/ files without being root
[05:58] <Paddy_EIRE> mutt?
[05:58] <seamus_ie> sri_: but it has a little bit if a learning curve
[05:58] <ForeClosure> i just copy and paste
[05:58] <sri_> seamus_ie, what is the process should i follow?
[05:58] <yggdrasil> paddy i guessei thats the plugin but doesnt seem to be learning very well
[05:58] <yggdrasil> ill jsut keep teachign i guess
[05:58] <ForeClosure> whats the command ? to rewrite source.list

[05:59] <linuxgoober> ok thanx
[05:59] <Spec> ForeClosure: or sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , whichever editor you're more comfortable with

[06:13] <jpjacobs> sri_, it's a mailclient for console (and a very good one too)
[06:13] <sri_> jpjacobs, can u tell how to operate it?
[06:14] <Enverex> sb_email.exe
[06:14] <Enverex> :P
[06:14] <sri_> jpjacobs, at installation i give in the place of localhost i gave my mail id

[06:15] <feydin> should i use the amd64-generic or the amd64-k8 kernel for my amd64-X2 cpu?
[06:15] <Pupeno> wachunei: I have no idea, I'd start with a check of RAM. Ubuntu installs mem86test or it is in the CD. It is an option on boot. Leave it running for a long time or until it finds an error.

[06:18] <jpjacobs> sri_, well i used it for a while, and you can open for example a pop mailbox with mutt -f pop(s)://user@host (use the s if it needs to be over ssl) or imap(s)://user@host for a imap box
[06:18] <jpjacobs> for sending i've found a nice little perlscript, muttsmtp.pl (i can mail it if you want...)

[06:21] <kmilo> jdier, yes

[06:22] <jdier> kmilo - I also had to add xfdesktop to my list of autostart applications to get it to run at boot.
[06:22] <kmilo> jdier, too much xfce-ism for me, have you try in #xfce or something like that?
[06:22] <_BASO_> Can anyone tell me the better file manager than Tunar for Xubuntu?

[06:28] <jakeg> hi, i'm trying ubuntu 6.06 livecd here, all great apart from monitor setup
[06:28] <jas4cad> if i knew how to
[06:29] <jakeg> i'm on a laptop with an external vga monitor attached to the laptop. only the external monitor is showing a screen
[06:29] <jakeg> i've tried X -configure but it won't let me as i'm already in X... how should I do this?
[06:29] <nvictor> hi all
[06:29] <kozmic> Are there any console webbrowser that supports javascript (links and lynx doesnt) ?
[06:29] <IseeIsee> so kmilo how should I go about installing Kubuntu ?
[06:30] <IseeIsee> the CD I have is of Ubuntu
[06:30] <jpjacobs> SS2, try www.fluxbox.org... but i thik it's more of a gtk-not-being-part-of-fluxbox problem
[06:30] <nvictor> I'm under ubuntu breezy and I'm having this problem while installing mutagen
[06:30] <ryan_bidoz> hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[06:30] <IseeIsee> so I'll need to download packages to install Kubuntu through Ubuntu ?
[06:30] <nvictor> nvictor@nvictor-ubuntu:~/Desktop/mutagen-1.5.1$ sudo ./setup.py install
[06:30] <nvictor> running install
[06:30] <nvictor> error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python2.4/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)
[06:31] <kmilo> IseeIsee, did you want gnome too?
[06:31] <jakeg> can anyone tell me how to get out of X so i can configure it, or some other way to get it to find my monitors?
[06:31] <sola6662> im haveing probs geting K Desktop Environment (KDE) installed
[06:31] <morphix> jakeg: "find your montiors" ??
[06:31] <morphix> jakeg: explain
[06:31] <Pupeno> does linux 2.6.15 have ipv6 statefull ip filtering ?
[06:32] <sola6662> can some1 give me a hand?
[06:32] <jpjacobs> jakeg, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (and if X doesn"t disappear by itself ctrl-alt-backspace (logout first))
[06:32] <jakeg> morphix: my laptop has an external vga connected... its showing on that one, but not the internal laptop screen
[06:32] <jas4cad> big applause
[06:32] <jas4cad> ;-)
[06:32] <IseeIsee> kmilo I won't mind gnome but first I wanna try KDE
[06:32] <Pupeno> nvictor: install python-dev or something liket that.
[06:32] <jpjacobs> then configure what you want, and do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start to fire up gdm again
[06:32] <jakeg> jpjacobs: is there a way ot get the second screen up without quitting out of X/gnome?
[06:32] <nvictor> thankx
[06:32] <nvictor> Pupeno: thx
[06:32] <Trackilizer> I'm using the livecd to write this, i re-installed windows yesterday and now my bootloader is gone. How do i restore it?
[06:33] <jakeg> and is there a non-command line way to get the second monitor to be found?
[06:33] <kmilo> IseeIsee, you can download the kubuntu cdrom?
[06:33] <Jesus> jakeg: yes
[06:33] <jas4cad> external monotor control is a function of the drivers. ensure you have the ones that properly relate to your hardware
[06:33] <IseeIsee> yeah thats a straight option
[06:33] <Jesus> jakeg: You can staart another x
[06:33] <jakeg> tracziller: i'm on a livecd here too :)
[06:33] <IseeIsee> what if KDE through Ubuntu CD ?
[06:33] <jpjacobs> jakeg, yea, but if you will be configuring X you'll have to restart it any way... ctrl-alt Fx with x between 1 an 6 will get you t a VT
[06:33] <Pupeno> nvictor: you are welcome, apt-file is your friend ;)
[06:33] <IseeIsee> it will still download packages right ?
[06:33] <nvictor> ok
[06:33] <sola6662> no
[06:33] <sola6662> i try to
[06:34] <sola6662> but no good
[06:34] <jakeg> jpjacobs: if i try X -configure on CTRL-alt-f1 it doesn't let me X -configure either... probably becasue X is running on F7?
[06:34] <kmilo> IseeIsee, then install ubuntu and later do: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[06:34] <Cooner750> To install Java in Ubuntu I run: sudo apt-get install sun-java5-bin , correct?
[06:34] <sola6662> do i have to use the right "DEP" link
[06:35] <kmilo> IseeIsee, but some people report errors having ubuntu and kubuntu in the same machine
[06:35] <IseeIsee> kmilo: just tell me last thing, its gonna download KDE version from the internet right
[06:35] <kmilo> Cooner750, yes, but what do you want to install?
[06:35] <mcquaid> i've noticed since going to dapper synaptic takes a lot longer in applying updates.
[06:35] <ryan_bidoz> hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[06:35] <Cooner750> I'm going to be running Wildfire Jabber Server so I need Java
[06:35] <mcquaid> i also see quite a few orphaned entries, is there any way to clear them
[06:36] <uhoh> if anyone out there knows how to restore a fat32 or NTFS partition through the Ubuntu live CD, please msg me. Also... fzck :(
[06:36] <mcquaid> what i mean by orphaned is it's listed in synaptic but when you try to install it it's actually not available
[06:36] <sola6662> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[06:36] <sola6662> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[06:36] <sola6662> what does that mean?
[06:38] <mcquaid> sola6662, do you have synaptic running and also trying to use apt-get?
[06:38] <uhoh>  anyone out there know how to restore a fat32 or NTFS partition through the Ubuntu live CD? Is it even possible?
[06:38] <facugaich> what do you mean by 'restore'?
[06:38] <kmilo> IseeIsee, http://kubuntu.com/download.php
[06:39] <uhoh> i just want to get some files out of the freaking partition, i think some header data may be screwed
[06:39] <uhoh> i don't know much about this kind of stuff :S
[06:39] <sola6662> well yes mcqaid
[06:39] <jakeg> jpjacobs - gdm stop doesn't stop x
[06:39] <sola6662> hold on let me try it again
[06:39] <JediMaster> hey all, after much battling, I've got our work Canon CLC3200 colour laser printer working with CUPS :-) however, how do I print through cups with programs that don't directly support it? Can I pipe it through a program?
[06:40] <sola6662> sola6662@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[06:40] <sola6662> Reading package lists... Done
[06:40] <sola6662> Building dependency tree... Done
[06:40] <sola6662> E: Couldn't find package kubuntu-desktop
[06:40] <jas4cad> try tabbing the rest of the command line ?
[06:41] <phreekbird> sup guys
[06:41] <jakeg> do i need to manually 'log off' on F7? i'm trying F1 console and ...gdm stop, says its stopped gnome, but can still get to F7 X
[06:41] <kmilo> sola6662, what did you have in your sources.list?
[06:41] <jpjacobs> jakeg, have you logged out first?
[06:41] <sola6662> let me see
[06:41] <Jesus> jakeg: you can just kill X
[06:42] <sola6662> ok
[06:42] <uhoh> anyone out there know how to fix a broken a NTFS partition through the Ubuntu live CD? Is it even possible?
[06:42] <jpjacobs> jakeg, then go to a different VT ctrl-alt-F1 , log in , do the sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, and then go back to the X Display (or where it should be when it's working with ctrl-alt-F7)
[06:42] <sola6662> CD Ubuntu 5.10
[06:42] <jakeg> jesus: what's the correct way of doing this though? I presume i'm meant to goto the F1 console and type something to stop X, then do X -configure, then restart X... right?
[06:42] <sola6662> and the 5.10 update
[06:42] <sola6662> as well security updates
[06:42] <robot__> #join Reciclanet
[06:43] <kmilo> uhoh, http://man.linux-ntfs.org/ntfsfix.8.html
[06:43] <jakeg> jesus: and there's no user-friendly way to get ubuntu to recognise a second monitor then?
[06:43] <sola6662> thats a dep?
[06:43] <kmilo> uhoh, and MS chkdsk
[06:44] <serge> How do I enable a user to use the sudo command?
[06:44] <Jesus> jakeg: you have two physical monitors? (I'm not sure what your basic problem is)
[06:44] <uhoh> k, i'll check it out
[06:44] <uhoh> thanks

[06:44] <jakeg> jesus: i have a laptop with an external monitor... on booting the livecd, only the external monitor shows anything. i've booted without an external monitor before and the internal lcd worked fine... so how do i now get both screens to show?

[06:47] <Kezer> GRUB Hard Disk Error
[06:47] <Jesus> jakeg: I think you will need to edit xorg.conf alot. I don't know how though. But there are lots of step by step how to's on the forum, you should try them.
[06:47] <krism> it annoys me when people say "i can do $X in windows but linux doesn't work like that!".. it's not windows.
[06:47] <serge> jrib: yes, only way I could get it to work im afraid
[06:47] <Kezer> hello? is there anyone whom will help?
[06:47] <abrihim> ola
[06:47] <abrihim> hello
[06:47] <jakeg> jesus: i presumed that running "X -configure" will auto find my monitors... i guess not then
[06:47] <krism> jakeg: check out the nvidia twinview docs - google for it. not nvidia specific.
[06:47] <sola6662> thx
[06:47] <abrihim> mi name is abraham
[06:47] <facugaich> ext3 doesn't need defragging right?
[06:47] <kmilo> sola6662, gnome-look.org art.ubuntu.com art.gnome.org
[06:48] <jakeg> so i take it then that ubuntu (linux?) has no user-friendly way to setup monitors... hmm... thought it had that by now
[06:48] <jakeg> :(
[06:48] <jrib> serge: ok, so you're able to 'su -' to get into root right?
[06:48] <skavenge> theres tutorials on the wiki buts its not a two-click deal no
[06:48] <serge> jrib: yeah
[06:48] <josh> how do i get folders back that i accidently deleted?
[06:48] <jakeg> (and i haven't even started trying to get my sitecom USB->VGA adapter working for my third monitor)
[06:49] <abrihim> wadefaket
[06:49] <josh> rm -R /usr/share/applications
[06:49] <Jesus> jakeg: not sure, if both weren't detected in the install, then im not sure if it will just work like that. but maybe, don't know sorry.
[06:49] <krism> jakeg: i'm running 3 monitors - two from an nvidia 6600gt and the third from an nvidia 5200fx. so it is possible, you just have to read the docs.
[06:49] <josh> thats what i did... this is what i meant to do rm -R /usr/share/applications/nx*
[06:49] <Absolutionx> Automatix > EasyUbuntu
[06:49] <jrib> serge: alright, as root, run 'visudo' and add the last line you see here to your sudoers: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7021
[06:49] <Zibby> I'm having an issue doing a dist-upgrade. lvm2_2.02.02-1ubuntu1_i386.deb t, run 'visudo' and add the last line you
[06:49] <skavenge> josh: more than likely not possible to get it back
[06:50] <serge> oki
[06:50] <jakeg> jesus: i'm on livecd, not an install... gotta make sure all my hardware is possible first, and the third monitor running off the weird sitecom usb->vga thing will be the death of me i reckon
[06:50] <josh> it doesn't go to .trash?
[06:50] <Zibby> grr stupid copy/paste ;)
[06:50] <abrihim> capullos
[06:50] <facugaich> ext3 doesn't need defragging right?

[06:53] <krism> jakeg: might not be a bad idea to find a copy of norton ghost, back up your windows install, and install ubuntu to the hard disk. then if you can't get all your stuff working to satisfaction, you can restore from the ghost image

[06:59] <h4v0k> jakeg, try using vnc
[06:59] <ForeClosure> hmm

[07:00] <skavenge> paddyvaughan: where are you in the install? what kind of nic is it?
[07:00] <ale_> anyone knows what is life after death?
[07:00] <oskude> amonkey, why do you want to do that ?

[07:00] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[07:00] <wildman> paddyvaughan, did you ask your question?
[07:00] <nostalg1c> amadeo1988, our names light up because we say your name and your irc client sees that
[07:00] <paddyvaughan> no... sorry... Will now
[07:00] <amadeo1988> ok cool
[07:01] <webben1> amonkey: apt-get source PACKAGE ... and welcome yourself to a new dimension of hassle :)
[07:01] <SurfnKid> facugaich, use this instead, put everything back on fstab https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[07:01] <h4v0k> SurfnKid, do you know how to use the mesg command to talk to other linux users or is it only on your local network
[07:01] <amadeo1988> morphix: Can you gimme a hand in private chat for a moment?
[07:01] <amonkey> oskude, i compiled the new version of gaim (2.0), and synaptic keeps trying to 'upgrade' it to 1.5
[07:01] <ale_> i have a problem, my usplash does'nt come up and i have this error displayed later.  set_kernel_font [failed] .  Someone have a clue?
[07:01] <wildman> paddyvaughan, also please try to avoid writing capital letters, our old ears cannot stand them. thank you.
[07:01] <SurfnKid> h4v0k, mmm
[07:01] <KJ-ro> hello
[07:01] <Kelerion> anyone here had any experience installing the ubuntu-sparc on the new t2000 niagara servers yet?
[07:01] <paddyvaughan> http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Installation#Install_Windows_driver I'm following this and I'm at the part where it says Make sure the INF file, SYS file and any BIN files (For example, TI drivers use BIN firmware) files are all in one directory'
[07:01] <Shak-> installing ubuntu for the first time on my other laptop, i've just edited the partition table and its flagged me with an error "File system doesnt have expected sizes for Windows to like it"
[07:01] <paddyvaughan> I'm stuck now
[07:01] <Shak-> lassegs: you there?
[07:01] <oskude> amonkey, aha, did you do "make install" or "checkinstall" or "the debian/ubuntu way" ?
[07:02] <SurfnKid> h4v0k, not sure how to
[07:02] <Jesus> All: my Delete button got redefined as $xscreensaver-command -lock. It's pretty annoying, anyone know how to undo that?
[07:02] <stef_> could you help me to configure screen size current is 640*480, no other possibility to change it
[07:02] <rpedro> Kelerion: try #ubuntu-offtopic , maybe someone there has...
[07:02] <ale_> i have a problem, my usplash does'nt come up and i have this error displayed later.  set_kernel_font [failed] .  Someone have a clue?
[07:02] <amonkey> oskude, checkinstall, i tried to just run checkinstall again so i could reconfigure a new package but it keeps failing. i have no idea why.
[07:02] <ompaul> !resolution > stef_
[07:02] <SurfnKid> wildman, which card are you using
[07:02] <ompaul> stef_, the instructions you need are in a message from ubou
[07:02] <kozmic> ritvik: yes its added, but if you wanted to change the port, change it there
[07:02] <amonkey> oskude, telling synaptic to lock the version of gaim does nothing for the update-manager thing
[07:03] <oskude> amonkey, per default checkinstall installs the deb rightaway (AFAIK)
[07:03] <KJ-ro> i have downloaded my self some quality material.. all rar-ed for windows in the new rar 2.0 method and split up in more parts... question is .... HOW DO i UNRAR them ???
[07:03] <wildman> SurfnKid, wired one, no wireless yet. my wireless laptop and me will meet in Mid-August
[07:03] <ompaul> stef_, ubotu that is
[07:03] <wildman> SurfnKid, so, no WiFi experience here yet. sorry.
[07:03] <SurfnKid> wildman, ah ok
[07:03] <amonkey> oskude, you are right, but it also gives you a deb
[07:03] <serge> How do I list all mountable drives and partitions?
[07:03] <paddyvaughan> How do I know which inf files to use
[07:03] <paddyvaughan> ?
[07:03] <oskude> amonkey, yup
[07:03] <nostalg1c> is there a backport for monodevelop 0.11 somewhere ?
[07:03] <KJ-ro> sege: fdisk -l
[07:03] <ale_> i love ubuntu
[07:03] <wildman> paddyvaughan, the ones 'describing' your wifi hardware
[07:03] <Shak-> anyone failliar with this error? Im severely handicapped now
[07:03] <amonkey> oskude, so i want to edit it... can i do this?
[07:03] <ale_> i dont have a windows xp partition weEEE
[07:03] <KJ-ro> serge fdisk -l
[07:03] <amadeo1988> How do i make my useraccount a root, without having to type sudo all the time
[07:03] <kandinski> I have a centrino machine but synaptic shows me updates for k7 kernels too: how do I avoid them automaticall?
[07:04] <wildman> paddyvaughan, that's not WiFi related BTW, but Windows driver-related ;)
[07:04] <morphix> amadeo1988: its a good idea to keep sudo
[07:04] <paddyvaughan> not wifi related? those are the drivers for my wireless card
[07:04] <amadeo1988> Why?
[07:04] <serge> KJ-ro: yeah, but thats only showing my external drive, not the other drives I have
[07:04] <nostalg1c> who do i need to blow to get an answer around here
[07:04] <yggdrasil> me
[07:04] <skavenge> the ndiswrapper wiki lists the cards it supports and the files you need
[07:04] <yggdrasil> you can blow me
[07:04] <oskude> amonkey, aah, now i get, hmm dunno, could be. or you just do checkinstall again and change the version number
[07:04] <nostalg1c> yggdrasil, will it help? :)
[07:04] <wildman> paddyvaughan, INF are common to all Windows drivers, not just WiFi ones
[07:04] <amonkey> nostalg1c, everyone in the channel in turn usually...
[07:04] <yggdrasil> im just in it for the blow job
[07:04] <SurfnKid> lol
[07:04] <KJ-ro> serge .. it is showing me all.. you tryed that with sudo in front didn't you ?
[07:04] <wildman> paddyvaughan, so the "right" INF to use is/are the one(s) for your WiFi card
[07:05] <paddyvaughan> wildman: I can either use lsbcmnds.inf or autorun.inf, do you know which?
[07:05] <amonkey> oskude, i tried that, subsequent checkinstalls fail for an unkown reason
[07:05] <serge> KJ-ro: no, silly me :P
[07:05] <KJ-ro> i have downloaded my self some quality material.. all rar-ed for windows in the new rar 2.0 method and split up in more parts... question is .... HOW DO i UNRAR them ???
[07:05] <paddyvaughan> i knwo... its either lsbcmnds or autorun
[07:05] <wildman> paddyvaughan, not autorun.inf, that's for sure
[07:05] <Redrose> is it ok to delete all the files in /var/cache/apt/archives?
[07:05] <oskude> hmm, maybe remove the old deb first
[07:05] <nostalg1c> so does someone know about monodevelop 0.11 ?
[07:05] <wildman> paddyvaughan, autorun.inf is to autoexecute a CD-ROM under Windows, so that's not a hardware description file ;)
[07:05] <serge> KJ-ro: it's still doing it :X
[07:05] <amadeo1988> morphix how do i install the lastest ati drivers?
[07:05] <nostalg1c> i can't find it in the repos, is the only other choice to compile from source ?
[07:05] <wildman> !ati > amadeo1988
[07:05] <paddyvaughan> thanks wildman... when it says in the same directory can I just make a random folder?
[07:05] <skavenge> paddyvaughan: the ndiswrapper wiki homepage lists the cards it supports and the files you need
[07:06] <wildman> paddyvaughan, I guess so...
[07:06] <amonkey> oskude, tried it
[07:06] <paddyvaughan> thanks... I'll try now
[07:06] <wildman> paddyvaughan, good luck
[07:06] <wildman> cya all
[07:06] <Shak-> "File system doesnt have expected sizes for Windows to like it" shall I ignore this message?
[07:07] <oskude> amonkey, hmm, its a long time a go as i last used checkinstall, could you pastebin the error ?
[07:07] <morphix> i am having troubles helping Kizz with ati setup.. i know the config is correct... its just not working lol
[07:07] <SurfnKid> morphix, did you run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[07:07] <Shak-> anyone got any idea ;x
[07:07] <lilg> Hey all, silly question. i was wondering if you could make a dir called test in all users home with something like mkdir /home/*/test
[07:07] <KJ-ro> serge : well all i did to see my drives if they where recognized by the system at boot was : after sudo su > fdisk -l   then mount (this shows me all the mounted devices) and after these i edited my /etc/fstab file... and gave the command : umount -a and mount -a
[07:08] <SurfnKid> not sure Shak- but keep hanging on, im sure someone will answer :)
[07:08] <Taza> I believe my soundcard isn't being detected
[07:08] <Shak-> lol l

[07:08] <Shak-> im hanging right now, cant boot my other OS :p
[07:08] <Taza> However, I've completely forgotten how to check for it. Can anyone help?
[07:08] <paddyvaughan> whats that mean?
[07:09] <oskude> !tell paddyvaughan about root
[07:09] <Redrose> if my wireless is showing up as ath0, what type of driver is that using?
[07:09] <KJ-ro> serge : try this: go to System menu and Administration and Disks
[07:09] <KJ-ro> serge: you can see all the drives and all the partition info there

[07:25] <KJ-ro> *upgrade
[07:26] <fangorious> jakeg: I don't know that ubuntu has a graphical utility for that, but from a command shell, with X not running, you can run 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and you'll get a text-menu config utility
[07:26] <kmilo_> rebelfallen, with your last /etc/X11//xorg.conf
[07:26] <KJ-ro> now i have a separate commercial directory with only one comercial source list in it

[07:26] <Jesus> KJ-ro ubotu just gave you the answer to your question where the package is.

[07:27] <dooglus> amadeo1988: try a "sudo mount -a" then
[07:27] <jakeg> fang: i'll try that
[07:27] <wsjunior> how do i know with which version of gcc i compiled my kernel?
[07:27] <dooglus> amadeo1988: that will mount everything that is set up to be mounted when you boot
[07:27] <jakeg> i'm not holding out much hope though
[07:27] <amadeo1988> alright
[07:27] <amadeo1988> thanks
[07:27] <fangorious> sola6662: gdesklets is like konfabulator or dashboard (little apps that run on your desktop) and gkrelm is a tool for system monitoring, with plugins for loads of things ilke cpu, mem, net, disk, wifi, temp, etc
[07:28] <leagris> I encounter doubled events in Xorg sometimes (double click with one click or doubled keypress with only one). Does some of you encountered this or know of a fix. It only happens sometimes like in some race conditions ?

[07:29] <jakeg> fang: and it will allow me to get my laptop's monitor working along with the external vga monitor then?
[07:29] <know_uh> Hi there, any one want to help me with a dapper drake postfix problem?
[07:29] <seanism> I got it working with mine with the intel video
[07:29] <dooglus> amadeo1988: you're trying to mount these ntfs partitions to be able to write to them?
[07:29] <KJ-ro> HMMM maybe cus i have installed Comix....
[07:29] <fangorious> seanism: ati firegl v5000, laptop
[07:29] <jakeg> linux *really* needs an easy way to configure multiple monitors without restarting x, like you can with windows
[07:29] <sola6662> so how do i get it fangorious>?
[07:30] <leagris> know_uh, what problem with postfix?
[07:30] <seanism> nice
[07:30] <soyvisita> i have problem botting, usplash does'nt show up i get set_kernel_fonts Invalid Argument error and when i shutdown no splash comes up.  Someone can help me?
[07:30] <amadeo1988> Yes
[07:30] <amadeo1988> both read and write
[07:30] <fangorious> jakeg: actually i don't think it will do that
[07:30] <tich> how would i switch from ubuntu to xubuntu without losing all my stuff (music etc)?
[07:30] <know_uh> leagris:: I  broke my postfix installation by removing /etc/postfix/* by hand instead of using the package manager.
[07:30] <Kelerion> whats a preseed file for?
[07:30] <Kaja> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[07:30] <fangorious> sola6662: you could 'apt-cache search' for each, to see if they're already packaged. if not i can't help as i don't run either
[07:30] <tsume> jakeg: I agree, but what is one to do with all the different cards? :) and all the types of configs, from twinview, framebuffer and the other ones?
[07:30] <kmilo_> tich, did you continue having gnome?
[07:30] <amadeo1988> should i not worry about writing? i hear its dangerous
[07:31] <_BASO_> I want to play WMV3 Video, where can I get the codec?
[07:31] <fangorious> jakeg: what graphics card do you have?
[07:31] <dooglus> amadeo1988: I've never tried writing ntfs.  lots of people will tell you it's dangerous, yes.
[07:31] <jrib> !w32codecs > _BASO_
[07:31] <_BASO_> I have w32codecs, but it does not help that
[07:31] <jakeg> fangoriuos: no idea... i have an acer travelmate c111tci (c110 series)
[07:31] <facugaich> amadeo1988: don't write unless you really have the need to
[07:31] <dooglus> amadeo1988: if you want to read only, then that's fine - mount using type 'ntfs', not 'ntfs-fuse'
[07:31] <jrib> _BASO_: what player are you using?
[07:31] <amadeo1988> cool ill do that
[07:31] <_BASO_> VLC
[07:31] <papo> amadeo1988: There is no full write-support for ntfs. (Actually there is a new fues project for that)
[07:31] <leagris> know_uh, if you removed all /etc/postfix/* it is safe to apt-get remove --purge postfix && apt-get install postfix again
[07:32] <_BASO_> i plays sound but no video
[07:32] <fangorious> jakeg: Red Hat has a decent graphical config, but it still needs X to restart to effect changes to hardware
[07:32] <know_uh> excellent leagaris -- brb.
[07:32] <jrib> BasL: vlc won't play wmv3 without a recompile, use mplayer or xine
[07:32] <soyvisita> i have problem botting, usplash does'nt show up i get set_kernel_fonts Invalid Argument error and when i shutdown no splash comes up.  Someone can help me? ( anyone )
[07:32] <jakeg> fang: i installed linux (fedora) on in about two years ago and ended up almost killing myself... but i did get both screens working (don't know how though, think it just worked out the box)
[07:32] <fangorious> jakeg: try 'lspci' in a terminal
[07:32] <Paddy_EIRE> is there any utility for backing up all the applications I've installed on my ubuntu system so I do not have to re-download them all again and face the same troubles I had when setting them up
[07:32] <jakeg> lspci
[07:32] <jakeg> oops
[07:32] <Secsefirot> Hi!
[07:32] <XVampireX> Hello.
[07:32] <papo> amadeo1988: check the fuse stuff at http://man.linux-ntfs.org/
[07:33] <Secsefirot> i need help my printer will not work the usb devive cannot be found
[07:33] <_BASO_> jrib: same with TOTEM?
[07:34] <jrib> _BASO_: totem-xine works well in my experience
[07:34] <Paddy_EIRE> is there any utility for backing up all the applications I've installed on my ubuntu system (Including Updates) so I do not have to re-download them all again and face the same troubles I had when setting them up
[07:34] <soyvisita> i have problem botting, usplash does'nt show up i get set_kernel_fonts Invalid Argument error and when i shutdown no splash comes up.  Someone can help me? ( anyone )
[07:35] <whadar> hello... how can i use the touch command on multiple files?
[07:35] <jrib> whadar: list them: touch file1 file2...
[07:35] <whadar> say even touch /opt/*
[07:36] <whadar> jrib can i use the * somehow?
[07:36] <jrib> whadar: yeah, just like you said
[07:36] <soyvisita> alguien habla espaol
[07:36] <jrib> !es
[07:36] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[07:36] <whadar> really? didnt work :(
[07:37] <jrib> whadar: it should, what are you trying to do?
[07:37] <_BASO_> jrib: I got KMplayer.. with some plugins installed... it worked on it
[07:37] <whadar> i want the whole directory to change
[07:37] <jrib> _BASO_: k
[07:37] <media_> !ati
[07:37] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:37] <KJ-ro> jesus   still there ????
[07:37] <whadar> im using cow... so i want to write to many files
[07:38] <fangorious> KJ-ro: he's always there, in your heart
[07:38] <Paddy_EIRE> lol
[07:38] <media_> whats the driver for ati rage on x86

[07:39] <SurfnKid> yeah
[07:39] <Paddy_EIRE> Hello all is there any app/utility for backing up all the applications I've installed on my ubuntu system (Including Updates all dependencies etc.. ) so I do not have to re-download them all again and face the same troubles I had when setting them up
[07:40] <jrib> whadar: I don't know what cow is, but I just tested touch * and it seems to have worked
[07:40] <Spec> Paddy_EIRE: All your applications that you've already downloaded are found in: /var/cache/apt/archives/
[07:40] <uXp> anyone know why my resolv.conf keeps on resetting, and how i can stop that?
[07:40] <whadar> jrib: it is working thanks...
[07:40] <jakeg> i think i'll come back to linux again in about a year, and hopefully by then there'll be some plug-and-play support for multiple monitors
[07:40] <Spec> Paddy_EIRE: If you want to back up everything to cd-roms, use Mondo/Mindi -- it'll back up to cd, dvd, ntfs, or tape
[07:40] <oskude> jakeg, bb
[07:40] <fangorious> uXp: it's probably being overwritten by your dhcp client?
[07:40] <KJ-ro> Paddy_FIRE ... if there where ..... I'LL be werry happy.. aldow i heard of some backing up aplications
[07:40] <Paddy_EIRE> Spec: Do i just need to copy that folder
[07:40] <media_> well look next time up i typed the same , just asking if it s ok for rage
[07:40] <_BASO_> currently with the help of this channel I fill in Xubuntu like in Windows .. even it is coooler
[07:40] <Infern0o> Hi, i need help getting my wep security to work.... I tried the wireless without wep and it worked, but with wep enabled on the router i can't get it to work :s
[07:40] <uXp> jakeg:  im using dual monitors
[07:41] <uXp> fangorious:  confused
[07:41] <Jesus> KJ-ro: I'm eating.
[07:41] <Spec> Paddy_EIRE: they're just .deb files, you can tar it up and burn it if you want, and then later to install them all at once you can do: dpkg -i *.deb ... but by the time you'll need to do that, there will probably be updates to be downloaded :p
[07:41] <oskude> uXp, dont use dhcp, or maybe theres an option to not to update resolv.conf when making new dhcp request...
[07:41] <fangorious> jakeg: you have an intel 855-gm chipset it seems
[07:41] <S|EZ-69> .
[07:41] <Paddy_EIRE> what about ubuntu updates and Dependencies
[07:41] <NickaNicka> is there Arial/Helvetica like font for linux?
[07:41] <Spec> Paddy_EIRE: yeap, they're all put there
[07:41] <whadar> jrib: i was confused... i wanted it to work recursively... is there a way to execute commands on multiple files which are also on subdirectories?
[07:41] <Paddy_EIRE> ohh
[07:41] <ddonky> anyone know of a command line cd player?
[07:41] <jakeg> ok, this is my lspci: http://pastebin.ca/90427
[07:41] <Spec> Paddy_EIRE: look into that folder if you want
[07:42] <uXp> oskude:  im not familiar with that...help?
[07:42] <facugaich> NickaNicka: FreeArial comes with OpenOffice
[07:42] <Spec> ddonky: mplayer i think
[07:42] <fangorious> uXp: if you are using dhcp, the dhcp client is most likely writing the DNS settings from the DHCP server to your /etc/resolv.conf
[07:42] <kmilo> ddonky, tcd
[07:42] <Jeeves_> ddonky: cdcd
[07:42] <Paddy_EIRE> although I didnt use apt for them all
[07:42] <jrib> whadar: you could use find -exec
[07:42] <KJ-ro> ubotu .... did you have time to take a look on that sources list... (jesus >have a nice meal... and huge apetite)
[07:42] <ddonky> thanks all!
[07:42] <Paddy_EIRE> LimeWire Pro for Example
[07:42] <oskude> uXp, why dont you want to update resolv.conf ?
[07:42] <amadeo1988> What's a good video played for ubuntu, and where do i obtain codecs like xvid,divx,wmv and such
[07:42] <mrDaniel> @ddonyk: i don't know, but: why you need a console cd player
[07:42] <Spec> whadar: find . -name *.filetype | xargs <command>
[07:42] <Spec> whadar: will run <command> on all the objects that find finds
[07:42] <ardchoille> !restricted > amadeo1988
[07:42] <whadar> jrib: thanks again!
[07:43] <Paddy_EIRE> java/flash/ and the like are kinda scattered... Am i in for a whole world of trouble
[07:43] <whadar> Spec: thank you
[07:43] <Spec> whadar: if you want only one file per command, use the -n1 option to xargs
[07:43] <uXp> oskude:  i have a non existing private, connection that is not part of my comcast connection, its a different one
[07:43] <JamesRasmussen> I am getting  a MP-BIOS error when checking my cd for defects though the 64bit one works for checking for defects
[07:43] <skavenge> how do i know what version of xorg im running?
[07:44] <media_> ask dpkg or apt
[07:44] <jrib> skavenge: Xorg -version
[07:44] <whadar> Spec: something like find *.* | xargs touch?
[07:44] <ddonky> mrDaniel - im troubleshooting why none of my players can play audio cds
[07:44] <skavenge> thanks
[07:44] <Paddy_EIRE> would love a utility to scan for apps grap there files and Dependencies then allow me to put on friends machine who does not have net access
[07:44] <oskude> uXp, if youre using a router, i would use a static ip address
[07:44] <fangorious> jakeg: this bug report has info about configuring youhttps://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-driver-i810/+bug/29880r chipset, and even mentions dual-head,
[07:44] <oskude> uXp, i mean a router that connects to the internet
[07:44] <Spec> whadar: just do: find . |xargs touch
[07:44] <jakeg> fang: great, thanks
[07:45] <jrib> Paddy_EIRE: I have the beginning of a python script for that somewhere...
[07:45] <NickaNicka> facugaich: thx
[07:45] <Paddy_EIRE> really
[07:45] <ardchoille> I am noticing that some app/script keeps writing 192.168.0.1 into my /etc/resolv.conf and that makes it so I can't connect to anything on the internet until I sudo sed -i 's/192.168.0.1//g' /etc/resolv.conf. Which app/script writes that into resolv.conf?
[07:45] <fangorious> jakeg: the dual-head is discussed here https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-driver-i810/+bug/26341
[07:45] <jakeg> fang: but that can't be found
[07:45] <Spec> Paddy_EIRE: you can, just grab them all/install them on one machine, and burn /var/cache/apt/archives to a cd
[07:45] <amadeo1988> in personal opinion would you guys say the best all around video player is for ubuntu?
[07:45] <jakeg> ok, that one works, ta
[07:45] <Paddy_EIRE> dont know much about programming although I would learn If it does what it says on the tin
[07:45] <Spec> Paddy_EIRE: put the cd into the other machine, mount the cd go into it, and do dpkg -i *.deb ... it'll install every single deb that your other host has installed
[07:45] <uXp> oskude:  if you need more info about it, its private, can't say it here ,come to server #uXps
[07:45] <jrib> Paddy_EIRE: but if you both use debian-based systems it's easier to use apt-zip
[07:46] <fangorious> amadeo1988: i like totem with the gstreamer backend, some people prefer totem with xine backend, some prefer mplayer
[07:46] <amadeo1988> Thanks Fangorious
[07:46] <oskude> uXp, well, i cant say much, thats all i know about resolv.conf... you may pm me...
[07:46] <jakeg> fang: does that mean that problem is patched if i install ubuntu and apt-get update it?
[07:46] <Paddy_EIRE> do I just run this command dpkg -i *.deb or what is the correct usage
[07:47] <snobbslakt> have anyone had problem installing libreadline4?
[07:47] <fangorious> amadeo1988: to get all the codecs for gstreamer, you'd want to enable the universe, multiverse, and restricted repos and install all the gstreamer10.0-plugins packages
[07:47] <Paddy_EIRE> apt-zip?
[07:47] <Paddy_EIRE> gonna look this up
[07:47] <Paddy_EIRE> this is my quest
[07:47] <fangorious> Paddy_EIRE: that dpkg command will install all the .deb packages in the current directory
[07:48] <Paddy_EIRE> that sounds like an awesome command
[07:48] <fangorious> jakeg: i didn't actually read the bug report
[07:48] <Paddy_EIRE> have u got a list of those commands somewhere
[07:48] <uXp> oskude:  i can't PM, weird
[07:48] <jrib> Paddy_EIRE: it's in the universe repository, I never used it but the man page makes it look simple enough
[07:48] <dooglus> uXp: you need to register with nickserb
[07:48] <Paddy_EIRE> and there descriptions
[07:48] <dooglus> uXp: you need to register with nickserv
[07:48] <uXp> lo, hold on\
[07:48] <Jesus> KJ-ro: try: $ sudo apt-get install unrar-nonfree
[07:48] <JamesRasmussen> I keep getting this error with the 32bit version of ubuntu 4294671.209000 MP-BIOS bug:8254 timer not connected to IO - APIC though my 64bit version doesn't say it
[07:49] <fangorious> jakeg: but iregardless you should keep up to date, you should get a notification area icon when there are updates available. or you can go to System->Administration->Update Manager to check
 k, nice one whats the name of the script
[07:49] <fangorious> Paddy_EIRE: 'man dpkg'
[07:49] <uXp> dooglus:  i forgot to log in, oops
[07:49] <stefg> JamesRasmussen: this is not an error, just an information
[07:49] <JamesRasmussen> does anyone know what MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC means
 nice one, this channel rocks
[07:50] <uXp> still can't, wtf
[07:50] <fangorious> :)
[07:50] <JamesRasmussen> stefg - when i tried to check for defects it would hang at that
[07:50] <jrib> Paddy_EIRE: apt-zip is the package's name
[07:50] <fangorious> Paddy_EIRE: man gives you the manual for most commands, so if you're ever not sure of the syntax, try that.
[07:50] <Jeeves_> JamesRasmussen: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-77021.html
[07:50] <JamesRasmussen> stefg - i let it sit there for like 10min thinking it would check the rest of the disc for problems
[07:50] <uXp> oskude:  so if i were to setup a static IP adress, IP would be the IP what about the Subnetmask and Gateway?
[07:51] <fangorious> Paddy_EIRE: also you can use --help with almost anything (dpkg --help)
[07:51] <Spec> Paddy_EIRE: or you could use 'info'
[07:51] <Paddy_EIRE> patrick@patrick-desktop:~$ apt-zip
[07:51] <Paddy_EIRE> bash: apt-zip: command not found
[07:51] <Paddy_EIRE> patrick@patrick-desktop:~$ sudo apt-zip
[07:51] <Paddy_EIRE> Password:
[07:51] <Paddy_EIRE> sudo: apt-zip: command not found
[07:51] <Paddy_EIRE> patrick@patrick-desktop:~$
[07:51] <stefg> JamesRasmussen: so read what it says: your BIOS is buggy, (or the CD is bad)
[07:51] <Spec> !paste
[07:51] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[07:51] <fangorious> Spec: i never could figure out how to navigate info pages
[07:51] <Paddy_EIRE> what do i need to specify
[07:51] <Paddy_EIRE> oops
[07:51] <oskude> uXp, "ifconfig" command would show what those are atm
[07:51] <Spec> fangorious: with the arrow keys and the enter button and sometimes the space bar
[07:51] <jrib> Paddy_EIRE: you need to install it using apt-get or synaptic, it should be available if you have enabled the universe repository
[07:51] <Spec> fangorious: i think :p (i use man)
[07:51] <JamesRasmussen> stefg - i tried two different cd's that i burned
[07:52] <wiking> please help me to install Yahoo messanger! Plz
[07:52] <Paddy_EIRE> k, i have
[07:52] <amadeo1988> fangorious can i install gstreamer with totem using synaptics?
[07:52] <fangorious> Spec: it was going back to the page i came from that stumped me
[07:52] <jrib> Paddy_EIRE: then just type 'man apt-zip'
[07:52] <JamesRasmussen> stefg - i burned them at low speed also
[07:52] <fangorious> amadeo1988: it should be installed as part of the default system
[07:52] <stefg> JamesRasmussen: so prolly the download is bad... compare the md5's with the ones on the download sites
[07:52] <Guest477> gstreamer is buggy, xine plays well
[07:52] <Guest477> Ogle for DVDs also
[07:52] <wiking> anybody!
[07:52] <oskude> uXp, but i dont know if youre using a router or "calling" directly to internet with linux
[07:52] <fangorious> Applications -> Sound & Video -> Movie Player
[07:53] <Paddy_EIRE> nice one jrib
[07:53] <Paddy_EIRE> thx guys
[07:53] <uXp> TEST

[07:53] <Ackeubu_> Heya can the sticky notes applet for gnome be used in kde or fluxbox?
[07:53] <amadeo1988> fangourious: yes but are the w32codecs and such installed with it? thats what im trying to obtain
[07:53] <fangorious> uXp: yes
[07:53] <leagris> Is Ubuntu suitable to meet a nice boyfriend? :D
[07:53] <Paddy_EIRE> should have turned to Linux a long time ago
[07:53] <fangorious> amadeo1988: gstreamer doesn't use w32codecs
[07:53] <Guest477> wilking>apps> internet> GAIM
[07:53] <JamesRasmussen> stefg - why does my 64bit version work than?
[07:53] <kmilo> leagris,  :)
[07:53] <Guest477> all in one messenger
[07:54] <ForeClosure> where can i dload codecs for mplayer and xine ?
[07:54] <stefg> because that download was good? ....
[07:54] <fangorious> amadeo1988: Enable the restricted, universe, and multiverse repositores (in synaptic or /etc/apt/sources.list)
[07:54] <leagris> kmilo, I like hairy geeks :)
[07:54] <sooz> hi all
[07:54] <wiking> anybody!
[07:54] <sooz> just upgraded to dapper and now I can't read my ntfs disks - do I need to install anything specially?
[07:54] <jrib> gstreamer0.10-pitfdll lets gstreamer use w32codecs, but I find xine or mplayer work better anyway
[07:54] <DarkProphet> when will the blender deb be updated ?
[07:54] <Spec> fangorious: hmmm.... :p
[07:54] <KJ-ro> jesus: ctrl+z.... lol ... sry just a joke :D
[07:54] <kmilo> leagris, maybe in #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:54] <JamesRasmussen> stefg - why do i continues run into problems when trying to get linux to work?
[07:55] <DarkProphet> 2.42 is out...the synaptic is still on 2.41
[07:55] <fangorious> amadeo1988: then install every gstreamer10.0-plugin- package you can find. The only thing I haven't been able to play is ecrypted WMV9 files
[07:55] <leagris> kmilo, thanks, no need to compile him first :)
[07:55] <jrib> !release > DarkProphet
[07:55] <Jesus> KJ-ro: try: $ sudo apt-get install unrar-nonfree
[07:55] <jakeg> fang: fine re. staying up to date, but i'm just on a liveCD here testing my hardware
[07:55] <DarkProphet> jrib: thats got nothing to do with ubuntu...i know how to use it and I know its dev cycle
[07:55] <thompa> how can i resize a windows partition on a seperate hard drive for storage partition
[07:55] <DarkProphet> but why aren't the packages updated ?
[07:55] <stefg> JamesRasmussen: maybe because you have a tendency to let others think for you.... can be troublesome and dangerous :-)
[07:55] <jakeg> ... and i just found out what i was wishing for.... my sitecom usb->vga adapter will work!!! http://www.winischhofer.eu/sisforum/viewtopic.php?p=255&sid=c991e807852c339d3fa4594d029cf176

[07:57] <pppoe_dude> sri_, ekiga, skype,
[07:57] <JamesRasmussen> stefg - no, i've been to there site i didn't see anything ont he mp_bios issue they are talking about clocks speeding up when i can't even see the desktop at this point and time because of video card drivers
[07:57] <thompa> im trying gparted
[07:57] <sri_> pppoe_dude, it is another messenger?
[07:57] <jrib> DarkProphet: it does have to do with ubuntu.  Ubuntu makes a stable release every 6 months.  After, that only security updates are provided for that release
[07:57] <pppoe_dude> sri_, ekiga ships with ubuntu
[07:57] <pppoe_dude> sri_, yes
[07:57] <sri_> pppoe_dude, what about skype
[07:57] <Shak-> just passed the "select and install" step, the screen has turned black except for two gray blocks in the middle, is this normal?
[07:58] <pppoe_dude> sri_, www.skype.com
[07:58] <sri_> pppoe_dude, can i go through synaptic
[07:58] <Shak-> been like that for about 5 minutes now
[07:58] <JamesRasmussen> stefg - I tried the 64bit version and ran into problems with the video card driver so i tried to install fglrx at which i thought i was succesful till it said the package was not installed after asking me 20 questions
[07:58] <pppoe_dude> sri_, you can go throught dpkg
[07:58] <pppoe_dude> *through
[07:58] <DShepherd> Shak-: i dont think this is normal. Are you using the desktop install or the alternate install?
[07:58] <amadeo1988> when i decided to install packages on synaptics, and it asks me to confirm it, is there a way i can see how much its going to download?
[07:59] <Shak-> DShepherd: I used the alternate install cd with text mode
[07:59] <sri_> pppoe_dude, what is the cmd for it?
[07:59] <pppoe_dude> !skype
[07:59] <ubotu> To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Skype To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[07:59] <sri_> pppoe_dude, sudo apt-get install skype??
[07:59] <jrib> DarkProphet: you may be able to request a backport of your program from the edgy release though.  Check the forums backports requests section
[07:59] <pppoe_dude> sri_, follow the link that ubotu gave
[07:59] <tich> i now have both ubuntu and xubuntu desktops installed. how do i get xubuntu to run instead of ubuntu?
[07:59] <JamesRasmussen> sri - no it's not a package
[07:59] <DShepherd> Shak-: oh.. :-S.. i dont know why this is happening. did you check the md5sum?
[07:59] <jrib> tich: click on options > session options at the login screen
[07:59] <JamesRasmussen> sri - go to the skype website and download the linux version

[08:00] <pppoe_dude> sivanicon, yes
[08:00] <stefg> JamesRasmussen: Ati on 64bit is problematic... blame ati for not being able to release a proper driver. And check if you download of the 32bit version is good by comparing the md5-sum of your download to the one stated on the d/l-site.

[08:32] <Spec> nubuntu: if you did the clean command, of course it is :p
[08:32] <nubuntu> well it saved no space, how can i free up space :(
[08:32] <Paddy_EIRE> try installing Kubuntu-desktop then apt for ktorrent
[08:32] <Ninja> what is the commdand do delete folders that need you to be root ?
[08:32] <ForeClosure> Spec: its not working
[08:32] <JamesRasmussen> can i get someone who is very or experienced to help me
[08:33] <nvez> Ninja, sudo rm -rf folder/
[08:33] <m1ckeyknox> nubuntu: try apt-get clean
 experience is all relative just ask mate
[08:33] <JamesRasmussen> well i've tried to fix stuff but i keep running into problems
[08:33] <Mysta> If I install Opera from Add/Remove, how do I verify that I'm installing the latest release before hand?
[08:33] <RvGaTe> Probably a stupid question, but how do i shut ubuntu down? hybernate seems to lock up the system after booting again...
[08:33] <nubuntu> m1ckeyknox, yes i just did that...6.6gb
 what's the prob
[08:34] <ForeClosure> Spec: any ideas why its not working ?
[08:34] <m1ckeyknox> nubuntu: eh... just a guess. ;-)
[08:34] <JamesRasmussen> at first i tried the livecd 64bit version at which when trying to install it gave me no video output and i thinnk i heard ubuntu booting up
[08:34] <Spec> ForeClosure: nope, works for me here
[08:34] <JamesRasmussen> it gave me an error i think about 3d acceleration
[08:34] <mwe> RvGaTe: don't use hibernate until you have fixed it, use shut down instead
 apt-get install kubuntu-desktop then apt-get intall ktorrent should be just the ticket
[08:34] <JamesRasmussen> than brought me to a like place where you enter sudo commands
[08:35] <ForeClosure> Paddy_EIRE: ktorrent ?
[08:35] <JamesRasmussen> so i tried to install flgrx
[08:35] <RvGaTe> mwe, there is no shutdown... :s
[08:35] <JamesRasmussen> and reconfigure it
[08:35] <m1ckeyknox> thoughts on how to change what /cdrom/ is pointing to? I have two cd-rom drives.... and it's pointing to the one that can't read cd-rs for some reason
 ahhh , oops
[08:35] <mwe> RvGaTe: huh? in the menu, or right click the desktop?
[08:35] <nubuntu> oh i freed up a bunch of space :)
[08:36] <RvGaTe> mwe, only things i can find it: Logout, Lock screen, Switch user, Hybernate
[08:36] <mwe> RvGaTe: at least in kde it's 'log out' then shut down
[08:36] <mwe> RvGaTe: logout
[08:36] <Guest477> in GnomeBaker the BurnFree option >appears< to be similar to JustLink
 whats the card
[08:36] <mwe> RvGaTe: then shut down
[08:36] <JamesRasmussen> Paddy_EIRE ATi X800XL
 damn ati cards, ihave a guide for that somewhere wait a moment
[08:37] <mwe> RvGaTe: did it show?
[08:37] <bob_> how can i change resolution from 640x480 to a resolution in my xorg.conf?
[08:37] <RvGaTe> mwe, seems to be located at the login screen...
[08:37] <__mikem> I use ati cards for target practice
[08:37] <mwe> RvGaTe: you should be able to shut down directly from gnome
[08:37] <RvGaTe> mwe, not really an obvious place to look for it if you ask me...
[08:37] <_Caleb_> anyone using a laptop in here
[08:37] <Spec> bob_: you could attempt to do: ctrl+alt++, but i'm not sure if that'll work or not (if not +, use num-pad +)
[08:37] <RvGaTe> mwe, yeah there was a button Shutdown
[08:37] <_Caleb_> and has their video working great
[08:37] <JamesRasmussen> Paddy_EIRE - I saw the guide on there forums but i was told to try the flgrx first i guess
[08:38] <bob_> nothing
[08:38] <Spec> _Caleb_: there are many hundreds of people here -- i'm sure some of them are on laptops
[08:38] <_Caleb_> i hope
[08:38] <_Caleb_> i just need to see about the right xorgt driver
[08:38] <JamesRasmussen> Paddy_EIRE - what i tried to do https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/hardware.html the part about ATi cards
[08:38] <RvGaTe> mwe, thx for the typ tho, im shutting down :P
[08:39] <mwe> RvGaTe: yw
[08:39] <mwe> RvGaTe: try kde if you don't like gnome
[08:39] <RvGaTe> i like gnome... just dont like kde
[08:39] <RvGaTe> :P
[08:39] <JamesRasmussen> Paddy_EIRE - at which in the end it gave me an error after selecting 24bit video telling me that the flgrx packet was not installed.
[08:39] <m1ckeyknox> anybody have any thoughts on how to remove a link from /cdrom/->cdrom1 and replace it with /cdrom/->cdrom0 ??

[08:49] <BaadPete> Hello everyone, I hope someone can help! I can't get my PCMCIA Wireless network card working on a new 6.06 installation. From what I've seen in the forums, it's a bit of a lost cause. It's a Proxim Orinoco Gold, 8420-WD, "Agere Systems", "Wireless PC Card Model 0111" - I'm not sure anyone's managed to get one working before. Please don't make me go back to Windows!
[08:49] <ubotu> p2
[08:49] <Spec> ubotu: please stop that
[08:49] <_Caleb_> ok
[08:49] <seanism> BaadPete, you search for linux drivers online for that card?
[08:49] <_Caleb_> well whats the easiest way to install ubuntu if the gui doesnt come up
[08:50] <Shak-> Spec: ok did all that but my net still isnt working, is there some other way to test besides opening firefox?
[08:50] <Spec> Shak-: yes, do 'ifconfig'
[08:50] <markit86> ping
[08:50] <_Caleb_> ifconfig?
[08:50] <Spec> Shak-: does eth1 have an IP?
[08:50] <Spec> Shak-: if not, try: dhclient eth1
[08:50] <BaadPete> seanism: the only one i could find was the source from here: http://www.agere.com/support/drivers/
[08:50] <seanism> ya
[08:50] <seanism> that is the one I come up with aswell
[08:50] <seanism> did you try to build it?
[08:50] <sola6662> omg for some reasion im not useing the latest version of firefox what do i do >.<
[08:50] <_BASO_> What is a FTP Upload/download program with nice GUI ?
[08:51] <paska> hello
[08:51] <Shak-> Spec: bound to an IP now
[08:51] <BaadPete> seanism: but i think it's for 2.4 kernels only - yeah, i tried to build it, but it needed the source for the kernel, and pcmcia_cs... which i think is redundant in 2.6?
[08:51] <Spec> Shak-: okay, try to wget http://www.google.com
[08:51] <seanism> o
[08:51] <seanism> um do you know what chipset that card is using?
[08:51] <Shak-> Spec: works now :D

[08:52] <Shak-> oops I ran a ping request on google and its endess :x how do I stop without closing terminal
[08:52] <nubuntu> i want cotton candy

[08:52] <Infecto>  Spec ?
[08:52] <Spec> Infern0o: that was for you

[08:54] <acad> in numeric form
[08:54] <JamesRasmussen> can anyone help me install this guide http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204910
[08:54] <Spec> acad: a+r, o = others (not owner and group)
[08:54] <BaadPete> seanism: i think it's pretty much the same as the more common 8421-WD, "Silver" one
[08:54] <Infecto> Infern0o: != Infecto
[08:54] <seanism> yes, BaadPete also http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=241067
[08:54] <acad> Spec do you know the number for that
[08:54] <Infern0o> Spec: ok, i entered both commands
[08:54] <BaadPete> seanism: ooh, cheers - didn't find those
[08:54] <Spec> !permissions
[08:54] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html - file permissions are explained at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[08:54] <Spec> it's really easy to understand the wiki: FilePermissions
[08:55] <seanism> hopefully that will help
[08:55] <Spec> Infern0o: dhclient wlan0
[08:55] <Spec> Infern0o: does it get an IP?
[08:55] <seanism> it looks like the prism chipset which has been ported to linux
[08:55] <BaadPete> seanism: ah, yes, it says "Oh, and none of this works with kernel 2.6, so don't waste your time. You need kernel 2.4."
[08:55] <BaadPete> :P
[08:55] <seanism> ahah
[08:55] <nubuntu> hello friends
[08:55] <nubuntu> why is XEN so popular?
[08:55] <seanism> perhaps you can rebuild ubuntu with a earlier kernel
[08:55] <nubuntu> does it virtualize kernel and user code on the host cpu?
[08:56] <seanism> or install an older version of ubuntu, BaadPete ?
[08:56] <BaadPete> urgh.
[08:56] <seanism> haha ya
[08:56] <seanism> got to love linux
[08:56] <Infern0o> Spec: discover's but no connect
[08:56] <markit86> nubuntu: because it is good
[08:56] <nubuntu> but why
[08:56] <seanism> i installed ubuntu and got compriz working and what not
[08:56] <Spec> Infern0o: hmm, i'm not sure what to tell you then :-/
[08:56] <snoops> nubuntu basically something along those lines - after cpu's added the -1 level ring hypervisors like xen.. well it's all yay
[08:56] <seanism> but I ended up just deleting the partition with it installed.  Its better to install it to a desktop
[08:57] <BaadPete> serves me right for not doing my research. I got it about a year ago under the assumption that Orinoco == good for linux
[08:57] <Spec> nubuntu: it doesn't virtualize anything i don't think, i think it allows the sharing of the resources between two OSes
[08:57] <markit86> nubuntu: its practically the best performance wise and you cant over allocate memory
[08:57] <Infern0o> Spec: the weird thing is, it works just fine with no wep, so it's totally the cause of the wep key that it's not connecting
[08:57] <Spec> nubuntu: instead of having a virtual processor, it allows both OSes access to the real cpu
[08:57] <nubuntu> Spec, how does it compare to qemu + kqemu
[08:57] <sola6662> jrib i dont know where can i find that info?
[08:57] <mnp_> spec: did you have any other ideas on how to get alsamixer up?
[08:57] <snoops> I personally can't wait until I just hit ctrl+alt+cltr+alt then f2 for example to switch to antoher os running on the same machine
[08:57] <Spec> nubuntu: i would assume it's more effecient since there's no virtualization layer
[08:57] <nubuntu> Spec, hm
[08:57] <adam__> Hi all, i am having a problem with running Java Applets in firefox under ubuntu linux, when I go to a page that runs an applet it kills the browser or only displays parts of the applet. Any ideas?
[08:57] <Spec> mnp_: did you delete the .alsa directory in your home folder?
[08:58] <chripher> kan somebody help how to make a bootdisk fore ubuntu/ win xp
[08:58] <JamesRasmussen> i think i am giving up on linux cause i can't get it to work and no one can really help me
[08:58] <nubuntu> Spec, it requires a special kernel right?  hows binary driver compatibility with these special kernels?  nvidia?
[08:58] <kmilo> chripher, you can boot from the ubuntu cdrom
[08:58] <seanism> chripher, do you not have a boot loader installed?
[08:58] <saxin_> JamesRasmussen, what is wrong?
[08:58] <Spec> nubuntu: not sure, i've only set it up in vmware
[08:58] <mnp_> spec: i dont know how to do that
[08:58] <xordae> hey guys.. is the Dapper 6.06 still as fast as the flight versions?
[08:58] <seanism> ya the live cd should work right?
[08:58] <snoops> nubuntu check out hypervisors and amd's/intel's technology for it - pacifica for amd and VT for intel
[08:58] <JamesRasmussen> a series of things
[08:58] <saxin_> JamesRasmussen, like?
[08:58] <chripher> kmilo: how
[08:58] <Spec> mnp_: ls -hal ~/|grep -i alsa
[08:58] <nubuntu> snoops, would xen work properly on a pentium3?
[08:58] <JamesRasmussen> with the 64bit version i get an error i think about 3d and it brings me to a screen where i enter sudo commands
[08:59] <Spec> mnp_: pastebin the results of that and send me the link
[08:59] <adam__> i suspect it is a problem with the JVM rather than firefox as i have tried pages in opera and get only parts of the applet displayed
[08:59] <mnp_> okay
[08:59] <kmilo> chripher, booting from the cdrom device
[08:59] <JamesRasmussen> at which i tried to fix that problem by installing the flgrx driver like it told me on the site
[08:59] <saxin_> JamesRasmussen, try the 32bits version
[08:59] <markit86> nubuntu: yeah, but its not going to be fast
[08:59] <JamesRasmussen> than i was told to try the 32bit version
[08:59] <mnp_> okay there are no results
[08:59] <kmilo> chripher, what did you want to do with it?
[08:59] <mnp_> it just did it
[08:59] <BaadPete> what kernel version does Xubuntu use?
[08:59] <JamesRasmussen> than it tells me MP-Bios error
[08:59] <snoops> nubuntu intel started with VT support from the pentium d 9xx series.. amd started pacifica support from the socket am series
[09:00] <paska> argh, cant even get rid of the menu
[09:00] <saxin_> JamesRasmussen, strange..
[09:00] <paska> jesus
[09:00] <JamesRasmussen> after trying two different burns they both say the same thing
[09:00] <nubuntu> ok, so my hardware is too old to do the real cool stuff...
[09:00] <JamesRasmussen> lol what's too old for linux
[09:00] <chripher> kmilo: yes but it want start grub properly when I have installed
[09:00] <nubuntu> im going to compare vmware player to qemu+kqemu tonight for xp guest
[09:00] <chripher> kmilo: is private msg allowed here
[09:00] <mnp_> Spec: i ran the  ls -hal ~/|grep -i alsa command, and there are no results.
[09:00] <JamesRasmussen> i have come to the point where i want to drop kick my ubuntu cd's
[09:00] <mnp_> it just gives me another prompt
[09:00] <markit86> nubuntu: it will run, but don't expect to run 2+ operating systems concurrently with no slowdown
[09:00] <kmilo> chripher, no
[09:01] <Spec> mnp_: ok
[09:01] <facugaich> chriper: you have to register
[09:01] <nubuntu> markit86, well xp already runs near native speed with kqemu
[09:01] <Spec> mnp_: there's some folder in there that's related to alsa, maybe it's just .asound
[09:01] <chripher> facugaich: ?
[09:01] <Spec> mnp_: try: ls -hal ~ |grep -i as
[09:01] <sola6662> i just be useing a fearly old version of ubuntu dont now how to upgrade
[09:01] <facugaich> chripher: /msg nickserv REGISTER <pass> <email>
[09:01] <kmilo> chripher, grub-install /dev/fd0
[09:02] <markit86> nubuntu: xen won't run xp without hardware virtualisation included in the new intel chips
[09:02] <nubuntu> ah
[09:02] <JamesRasmussen> why won't ubuntu just install like it supposed to everyone else has no problems but of course i do
[09:02] <chripher> kmilo: can I do that in live
[09:02] <mnp_> spec: there is no folder related to also there
[09:02] <nubuntu> markit86, well you've been quite useful in saving me time
[09:02] <markit86> np
[09:02] <finalbeta> Hmmm, my ATI card fan didn't start running this boot, guess I'll be crashing soon.
[09:02] <kmilo> chripher, AFAIK yes
[09:02] <nubuntu> markit86, if you've never tried qemu+kqemu i suggest you try it, it flies
[09:02] <facugaich> kmilo: that one installs a bare grub, not vert easy to use
[09:02] <crimsun> mnp_: according to your lsmod output and your claim to have intel8x0 hardware, the correct drivers /are/ loaded. What's the real issue?
[09:02] <Spec> nubuntu: no 3d accelleration
[09:02] <JamesRasmussen> finalbeta - say bye to your video card
[09:03] <nubuntu> Spec, xen does 3d accell?
[09:03] <Spec> nubuntu: i don't know.
[09:03] <chripher> kmilo: grub is installed but do nott recognize how too boot from my hp370 chips so therefore I want to boot grub with fd
[09:03] <kmilo> chripher, but you will get the grub from the live
[09:03] <nubuntu> hm
[09:03] <Spec> nubuntu: if it shared it's hardware though, and wasn't virtualizing ... it would make sense if it could
[09:03] <markit86> nubuntu: i believe if you set the config right it would
[09:03] <Spec> nubuntu: if you want to read up on it, i'm sure there's docs out there, look for "hypervisors" i think
[09:03] <kmilo> chripher, did you lost the grub from you ubuntu and now don't boot?
[09:03] <Shak-> are there any video codec packages that will do xvid, divx and all the other popular ones?
[09:03] <m1ckeyknox> sendmail not installed with ubuntu server?
[09:03] <Linuturk> I need lots of special fonts

[09:06] <Shak-> has anyone installed kismet before? wondering if im gonna have to build from source
[09:06] <Spec> mnp_: human readable = megs/kbs, instead of bits
[09:06] <Spec> or bytes
[09:06] <facugaich> albertox23, ubotu is a bot ;)
[09:06] <Hoovey> Kismet is okay
[09:06] <Hoovey> I don't use it much
[09:06] <Spec> Shak-: there's 830 people here, i'ms ure one of them has installed it before
[09:06] <linuxgoober> where is x.conf located i did a locate x.conf and can't find anything
[09:06] <mnp_> spec: thanks. still cant find the folder you are looking for. maybe that means its already deleted from the rm command you gave me before
[09:06] <Spec> mnp_: have you tried alsamixer after that?
[09:07] <mnp_> alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[09:07] <Shak-> well, I just got the .deb file from ubuntu's package repository, but its barking about dependencies
[09:07] <mnp_> spec: thats what i get from the terminl window
[09:07] <Spec> mnp_: i got that bug a while back because ubuntu wrote a config for alsa (i'm looking for the real name), and the config was what made that message, not having any configs worked
[09:07] <Alex0r> yeah
[09:07] <ardchoille> Shak-: kismet is in the universe repo
[09:07] <mnp_> okay
[09:07] <richard_> trying 6.06 on my dell d820, I can't get the wireless to work (ipw3945)... It looks all is setup ok, but the wireless wont detect the AP

[09:07] <Alex0r> Is it worth installing SUSE? sorry if it's offtopic but

[09:07] <facugaich> linuxgoober: I guess you're looking for /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:08] <Kgee> hey guys, I ran across this: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/TheFalloftheKing and figured it should go here.
[09:08] <Alex0r> don't edit that unless you know what you're doing
[09:08] <mnp_> spec: i dont have any sound though. the speaker icond on the top gives me errors when i double click it. totem closes when i try and launch a file.
[09:08] <Shak-> ardchoille: isnt it just a matter of sudo dpkg?
[09:08] <linuxgoober> ok thanx facugaich
[09:08] <ardchoille> Alex0r: Call me a zealot if you want, but the only distro anyone needs is Ubuntu, IMHO :)
[09:08] <mnp_> can someone tell me how to register to send PMs
[09:08] <Alex0r> Hehe, okay

[09:10] <kmilo> chripher, but the ubuntu grub can boot your pc?
[09:10] <Spec> media_: add an entry for them to be able to sudo shutdown with NOPASSWD:, and then add an alias for them: alias shutdown='sudo shutdown'
[09:10] <nubuntu> Redrose, go to the System->administration->networking and select the right one as the gateway device?
[09:10] <chripher> kmilo: no
[09:10] <richard_> since the install didn't set up the wlan drive correctly, I downloaded the updated driver/firmware/ieee80211 and tried to get that goin, but I'm stuck on how to get udev to load the firmware...  Anyone?
[09:11] <mnp_> James; when grub loads change it after the kernal command

[09:11] <chripher> kmilo: I am inatlling again now and how do I specifi ubuntu install to write grub to floppy instead of mbr
[09:11] <mnp_> James; i had the same problem. if that fixes it you can change the menu.lst
[09:12] <kmilo> chripher, ok
[09:12] <nubuntu> Redrose, why do you have to do it everytime?
[09:12] <jariep1__> how do I use the ghost command on IRC... I was logged off and back on, but with a slightly different Nick...??

[09:13] <mnp_> let me know.

[09:13] <crimsun> mnp_: now I need ``dmesg && cat /proc/interrupts && lsmod''
[09:13] <chripher> kmilo: floppy = /dev/fd0 or ?
[09:13] <facugaich> chripher: dapper or breezy?
[09:13] <chripher> dapper lst
[09:13] <id10t> NE1 got an idea on how i can see what isp uses/owns some of the 2145 IP addresses in our webserver logs? i don't wanna loop thru the unique list and do a whois on htem all (unless thats the easist/only way)
[09:13] <KJ-ro> gime the repo for the commercial unrar .... and a short info about installing a commercial package ....
[09:13] <KJ-ro> cus i really don't want to pay to unrar some files...
[09:13] <nubuntu> unrar is free
[09:13] <TaF> anyone know where i can get drivers for intel sund chip?
[09:13] <facugaich> chripher: at least in breezy the installer asked me what I wanted to do
[09:14] <JamesRasmussen> mnp_ - i don't think we have the same problem because i can get past that part without having to turn off the acpi or w/e
[09:14] <kmilo> chripher, yes floppy is the device /dev/fd0
[09:14] <KJ-ro> well.... nubuntu prehaps... but i just can't find it !
[09:14] <nubuntu> id10t, that is the easiest/only way
[09:14] <Spec> pebkac :-/

[09:14] <facugaich> if I upgrade to dapper can I downgrade later?
[09:14] <JamesRasmussen> mnp_ - my problem is when i boot into ubuntu from the livecd i have no video output on my monitor than when i tried to install the fglrx driver like it said to on there site it ends up saying in the end fglrx is not installed
[09:14] <Alex0r> uyh
[09:14] <Alex0r> uh
[09:15] <Alex0r> i don't know

[09:15] <KJ-ro> nubuntu .... if you can gime you sources.list

[09:15] <id10t> nubuntu, i was afraid of that... thanks for the reply tho
[09:15] <jrib> facugaich: no, I don't think so, but why would you want to?
[09:15] <Spec> i would .... suggest against downgrading
[09:15] <mnp_> Crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18226
[09:15] <nubuntu> KJ-ro, i dont know
[09:15] <facugaich> jrib: in case it runs too slow
[09:15] <JamesRasmussen> mnp_ - than i was told to try the 32bit version instead of the 64bit at which i recevied the MP-BIOS error and it hangs there
[09:15] <Spec> facugaich: ubotu says not to downgrade, ubotu is all knowing. please respect ubotu's wishes.
[09:15] <jrib> facugaich: fwiw, dapper ran faster than breezy for me
[09:15] <KJ-ro> ubotu .... HHEEEEELLLLPPPP befor i lose it :D

[09:16] <facugaich> jrib: oh, ok
[09:16] <KJ-ro> =))
[09:16] <mnp_> James: im not that advanced. if your problem was adding the acpi=off i could help with that.
[09:16] <KJ-ro> i lost it....

[09:18] <nubuntu> hint guys, use poop or poopie or poo or doo doo instead of bad words
[09:18] <Spec> Redrose: and comment out the 'auto wlan#' line where wlan# = your internet device name you do not wish to come up on boot

[09:18] <Spec> fsck is okay though :)
[09:18] <Alex0r> wine is dumb
[09:18] <Alex0r> it never works
[09:18] <crimsun> mnp_: the problem is that your sound device is not being assigned an irq
[09:18] <braindead_moron> ubotu help udev

[09:19] <JamesRasmussen> wine is not dumb
[09:19] <nubuntu> wine is fsck
[09:19] <Redrose> i want it to come up, just not to be the device that it uses for the internet... but that works too
[09:19] <kmilo> chripher, :) (I don't understand what happends with grub but I feel happy that works for you)
[09:19] <TaF> i would like to see just one program wine will run normally

[09:19] <Spec> TaF: use wine to run keygens -- that way it's virus proof

[09:20] <Spec> JamesRasmussen: ut2k4 runs just about the same on both
[09:21] <braindead_moron> Spec: doh
[09:21] <Spec> JamesRasmussen: postal2 runs perfectly
[09:21] <crimsun> mnp_: how old is it?
[09:21] <skavenge> ut2k4 actually runs just as well if not better since its linux native

[09:26] <Shak-> jrib: sudi apt-get install kismet ?
[09:26] <KJ-ro> that's why i need the repo that worked for you
[09:26] <Shak-> *sudo
[09:26] <jrib> Shak-: yes, after enabling universe
[09:26] <Shak-> wait, enabling universe?
[09:26] <jrib> !universe > Shak-
[09:26] <mnp_> crimsun: at work? should i past bin it?
[09:26] <crimsun> mnp_: if you need acpi=off to boot, then you're going to have a tough time.
[09:26] <maxL> Sup Peeps, I need a gameboy advance emulator for Ubuntu, I tried the Visualboyadvance from synaptic packagee manager and nothing happened, can someone help me fix that one or show me another one?
[09:26] <nubuntu> lol romz0rz
[09:27] <crimsun> mnp_: I would suggest, then, that you disable any devices in bios that you're not using, like the parallel port, pcmcia devices, and so on
[09:27] <Alex0r> brb, gonna get some cookies and milk
[09:27] <maxL> lol there not illegal, i have the cartradges IRL, I just dont wanna buy a newgameboy, mine aint workin.
[09:27] <mnp_> okay, im not sure how i can get into my bios though
[09:27] <KenSentMe> I can print a test page, but when i try to print something in OpenOffice nothing happens. It worked before, but even after a reboot the document doesn't show up in the printer queue. What can i do?
[09:27] <ardchoille> Alex0r: Bring some for us too, lol
[09:27] <KJ-ro> the solution is so close .. yet there is no-one who would copy-past me it ..... SAD
[09:27] <mnp_> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18229 that is my UF post.
[09:27] <skavenge> KJ-ro: dunno what repo i just apt-getted rar, and since im running kde used 'ark' (kde's archive manager) and it works
[09:28] <Shak-> jrib: ah I see
[09:28] <Alex0r> lol, i gots a bag of cookies
[09:28] <Alex0r> :)
[09:28] <Shak-> jrib: by enabling that I should be able to use synaptic too right?
[09:28] <jrib> Shak-: yep
[09:28] <ardchoille> lol
[09:28] <Alex0r> but no milk, there isnt any,, or juice,, or pop.. only cider
[09:28] <Alex0r> so
[09:28] <Alex0r> im drinking cider
[09:28] <Shak-> no wonder I wasnt getting any matches for kismet
[09:28] <Alex0r> and its gross
[09:28] <KenSentMe> Is there a way to start OpenOffice from the terminal?
[09:29] <KJ-ro> skavange : rar is located only in commercial repo's... i added them .. still i cant finde any .... so something is wrong ... could you post your sources.list ??????????
[09:29] <fyrestrtr> KenSentMe: ooffice
[09:29] <skavenge> KJ-ro: you didnt get your rar from apt-get?
[09:29] <skavenge> KJ-ro: the only optional repos i have are universe/multiverse
[09:29] <nubuntu> KJ-ro, apt-get update
[09:30] <BioGeek> braindead_moron: Nope, sTill have The error, I don' know if I compleTly kiled MeTaciTy Though...
[09:30] <Shak-> jrib: odd, I uncommented the lines but still no match for 'kismet' in synaptic
[09:30] <fyrestrtr> Shak-: sudo apt-get update
[09:30] <KenSentMe> Hmm running OpenOffice from terminal doesn't get me anywhere. I don't see any errors or something when printing
[09:30] <ardchoille> !info kismet
[09:30] <ubotu> kismet: Wireless 802.11b monitoring tool. In repository universe, is optional. Version 2005.08.R1-1.2 (dapper), package size 910 kB, installed size 2408 kB
[09:30] <Alex0r> damn, suse wont even install
[09:30] <Alex0r> it says
[09:30] <Alex0r> no packages found
[09:30] <Alex0r> or something
[09:30] <Shak-> ah, of course, update :)
[09:30] <Alex0r> it looks pretty thats why i wanted to try it
[09:31] <nubuntu> Alex0r, you cant say that bad word here, use poop instead
[09:31] <Alex0r> fine
[09:31] <fyrestrtr> Alex0r: you can get the eye candy menus in dapper :)
[09:31] <ardchoille> Shak-: Do you see kismet after a sudo apt-get update?
[09:31] <Alex0r> orly?
[09:31] <Alex0r> how!?!
[09:31] <BioGeek> braindead_moron: goT inTo Top, killed MeTaciTy, bu sTill have The error...
[09:31] <fyrestrtr> BioGeek: what is wrong with your keyboard?
[09:31] <fyrestrtr> Alex0r: how to get the menu?
[09:31] <jrib> where does dapper set the default umask for a user?  Or is 022 always the default value, and in that case, where should I set it?
[09:32] <Alex0r> yar
[09:32] <Shak-> ardchoille: yep, it appeared in synaptic now
[09:32] <Shak-> downloading package files now
[09:32] <ardchoille> Shak-: Ahh, cool
[09:32] <BioGeek> fyrestrtr: I messed up in MeTaciTy (I Think), and now I can'T Type The lowercase T any more.
[09:32] <Alex0r> could I do apt-get install suse-desktop or something? xD
[09:32] <SurfnKid> ardchoille,  i installed kismet now, i wonder how to use it
[09:32] <SurfnKid> ardchoille, how do i know if my card supports the rfmon type monitoring
[09:32] <BioGeek> fyrestrtr : I geT The error message "TexT was empTy or conTained only whiTespace" every Time I Type lowercase T
[09:32] <nubuntu> metacity. huhuhuh
[09:33] <ardchoille> SurfnKid: The first thing I would do is man kismet, if it has a man page
[09:33] <fyrestrtr> Alex0r: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=21831&view=getnewpost
[09:33] <hoov> has anyone had any experience with gnome-network-manager?  I've made gotten my wireless card to work, and gnome-network-manager and WPA supplicant.  The only problem is when I after I put in my network key it does not connect.
[09:33] <SurfnKid> sure does
[09:33] <Alex0r> thanks
[09:33] <mnp_> crimsun: im going to reboot and see what happens
[09:33] <mnp_> crimsun: thanks for the help. ill be back in a bit.
[09:33] <nubuntu> he wont make it back
[09:34] <fyrestrtr> BioGeek: sounds like your keyboard mapping is messed up. Type xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.us (if you have a standard us keyboard)
[09:34] <SurfnKid> ardchoille, can you be associateed to a router and still have kismet monitor, or does it have to be free
[09:34] <ardchoille> SurfnKid: My method of learning a new app is man page, then app's homepage, then irc channel
[09:34] <ardchoille> SurfnKid: I don't know enough about kismet to be able to give you sound advice about it.
[09:34] <Shak-> if I do ifconfig eth1 mode monitor, my net connection dies until I set it back to mode managed, is that normal?
[09:35] <SurfnKid> ardchoille, i guess youre right :)
[09:35] <BioGeek> fyrestrtr: No, I have an azerTy Belgian keyboard...
[09:35] <fyrestrtr> Shak-: maybe your driver doesn't support it.
[09:35] <Alex0r> hmm, didnt work
[09:35] <fyrestrtr> BioGeek: replace .us with .be
[09:35] <fyrestrtr> Alex0r: what didn't?
[09:35] <SurfnKid> ill figure it out lter
[09:35] <Alex0r> the quide
[09:35] <SurfnKid> s/lter/later
[09:35] <Alex0r> guide**
[09:35] <SurfnKid> i gotta run
[09:35] <Alex0r> got it now
[09:36] <Alex0r> yey, installing some updates..
[09:36] <BioGeek> fyrestrtr: ttthanks, it works!!! :-)
[09:36] <chripher> is there any comman root pass for ubuntu ?
[09:36] <fyrestrtr> !root > chripher
[09:36] <h4v0k> can someone give me the link to install the java plugin for mozilla
[09:36] <tristanmike> chripher: no, not by default
[09:36] <fyrestrtr> !java > h4v0k
[09:36] <gnomefreak> !root > chripher
[09:36] <Alex0r> it could be root or ubuntu, though
[09:37] <chripher> I can not login
[09:37] <fyrestrtr> chripher: there is no root password in ubuntu. Read what the bot sent you.
[09:37] <chripher> tried everything
[09:37] <fyrestrtr> chripher: login where?
[09:37] <Shak-> my actual wifi nic is an ipw2200, but I havent installed any drivers yet, so what is ubuntu using to make it work?
[09:37] <chripher> gui / console
[09:37] <h4v0k> fyrestrtr, but there is a link to help install the plugin
[09:37] <fyrestrtr> Shak-: ipw2200 :) drivers are in the kernel, iirc.
[09:37] <Alex0r> yay for .. special menus
[09:37] <mlehrer> Shak-: they include those drivers
[09:37] <godtvisken> I have an ALi M5455 sound card. Am I able to use ALSA?
[09:38] <Shak-> ahh
[09:38] <gnomefreak> chripher: what does logging in have to do with root?
[09:38] <renegade_of_funk> hi, how to make a iso file of my dvd game
[09:38] <chripher> fyrestrtr: can I reset the password some how ?
[09:38] <fyrestrtr> chripher: why? there is no password. You can't reset it. Describe your problem.
[09:38] <fyrestrtr> renegade_of_funk: read the man page for mkisofs
[09:38] <Infern0o> Can anybody please help me with getting my ubuntu wireless with wep encryption working? (it works on unsecured network)
[09:39] <renegade_of_funk> ok thanks
[09:39] <chripher> fyrestrtr: I have done an install and now I can not logiin
[09:39] <erUSUL> !wifi > Infern0o
[09:39] <fyrestrtr> chripher: login with the username that you created during the install.
[09:39] <wheels3572> Can someone help me I am asked to type su and the root password but I know Dapper has that shutoff
[09:39] <wheels3572> what do I do in the mean time
[09:40] <Infern0o> erUSUL: i've been trough that about a dozen times now :)
[09:40] <gnomefreak> wheels3572: sudo -i
[09:40] <fyrestrtr> !sudo > wheels3572
[09:40] <ardchoille> wheels3572: You can use sudo
[09:40] <ardchoille> fyrestrtr: Thaks :)
[09:40] <fyrestrtr> :)
[09:40] <chripher> fyrestrtr: do not work
[09:40] <erUSUL> Infern0o: which card do you use?
[09:40] <chripher> strange
[09:40] <Infern0o> erUSUL ipw2200bg
[09:41] <fyrestrtr> chripher: you probably are not typing it in correctly, try it again.
[09:41] <chripher> can I reset passwords / users with xp
[09:41] <BioGeek> fyrestrtr: thanks for helping me, bye to the rest.
[09:41] <fyrestrtr> chripher: no.
[09:41] <hivemind> Hey guys I've mostly got Ubuntu working, but I can't get OpenOffice to spellcheck. It even passes horribly misspelled words.
[09:41] <ardchoille> chripher: Probably a silly question, but is your caps lock on?
[09:41] <chripher> fyrestrtr: not even chek what username to use ?
[09:41] <Infern0o> erUSUL: the problem must be something with the wep, because it works alright on unsecured
[09:41] <fyrestrtr> chripher: nope.
[09:41] <NoAlternative> sorry I was dc
[09:42] <fyrestrtr> hivemind: have you installed a dictionary?
[09:42] <wheels3572> thank you gnomefreak
[09:42] <chripher> fyrestrtr: no it is not on
[09:42] <NoAlternative> I asked earlier that I can always remove packages after a normal install which I don't need
[09:42] <rob_p> Infern0o:  Add the, "wireless-key" directive in your /etc/network/interfaces file, for the applicable wireless interface stanza, and it should work.
[09:42] <hivemind> fyrestrtr: Ummm, I'm unsure, I doubt it.
[09:42] <chripher> fyrestrtr: maybe it was acedently on when I installed
[09:42] <fyrestrtr> chripher: what was on?
[09:42] <Infern0o> rob_p but by doing that i won't be able to use gnome-network-manager right?
[09:42] <chripher> fyrestrtr: Cpas lock
[09:43] <fyrestrtr> could be, remember your login name is not your 'username'. They are two different things.
[09:43] <godtvisken> I have an ALi M5455 sound card. Am I able to use ALSA?
[09:43] <fyrestrtr> godtvisken: does it not work?
[09:43] <rob_p> Infern0o:  Ummm, I can't see why not.
[09:43] <mnp> crimsun: my system locked up with the acpi_irq_isa=7 instead of acpi=off
[09:43] <NoAlternative> I can't beleive how much Ubuntu has improved its install setup
[09:43] <ardchoille> fyrestrtr: Really? I didn't know that. My login name has always been my username
[09:44] <erUSUL> Infern0o: how do you configure it? via networkmanager or /etc/network/interfaces?
[09:44] <crimsun> mnp: right, follow the alternate set of suggestions regarding disabling all unnecessary devices in bios. You need free irqs.
[09:44] <Infern0o> erUSUL: via the nm
[09:44] <mnp> crimsun: ive read in the forums when i was trying to that problem solved that someones usb drivers were getting locked up and he disabled them to get it to work
[09:44] <fyrestrtr> ardchoille: the 'your name' and 'login name' are two different things. afaik, the login name cannot have spaces, the other one can.
[09:44] <ardchoille> fyrestrtr: Never mind, I misunderstood the two.
[09:44] <mnp> crimsun: okay, do you know which key i need to get into my BIOS?
[09:44] <Gasten> how do I change the stuff in "Places"?
[09:45] <crimsun> mnp: no idea for your hardware. F1? F2? F10? F12? Escape? Ctrl? Tab?
[09:45] <fyrestrtr> mnp: f1, f12, f10 or esc
[09:45] <chripher> fyrestrtr: yes maybe I mistyped swircheed or some is it possible to have caps or space in in login name
[09:45] <NoAlternative> when you run ubuntu from a live CD can you install packages as well & do work ?
[09:45] <Hoovey> err, i cant get the sled menus to work
[09:45] <fyrestrtr> chripher: no spaces, but caps, yes.
[09:45] <Hoovey> its still the same..
[09:45] <godtvisken> fyrestrtr: it works, but my flash video is out of sync with the audio. i have seen some fixes for this on the ubuntu forums but only with alsa
[09:45] <mnp> okay ill reboot and give it a shot
[09:45] <fyrestrtr> godtvisken: you are probably using alsa.
[09:45] <majd> hey
[09:45] <fyrestrtr> Hoovey: you have to add it to the panel.
[09:45] <Hoovey> i did
[09:46] <majd> is there a program to show image dimensions in nautilus right under the file name?
[09:46] <Hoovey> its default
[09:46] <bmgz> I cant get my british keyboar to work since Dapper upgrade. I get funny character for the double and single quote and my gnome shortcuts dont work? ive reported a bug and searched everywhere for help to no avail. this is my last resort anyone have a clue?
[09:46] <chripher> fyrestrtr: but I remember It told me my username was not right when I used Chripher or Borke
[09:46] <chripher> fyrestrtr: so I hade to use chripher or borke
[09:46] <fyrestrtr> bmgz: type this in a console, see if it works: xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.uk
[09:46] <jose> como recupero el passward de root
[09:46] <bmgz> that deosnt work - i cant use gnome shortcuts
[09:47] <NoAlternative> I have 4 Partition on my windows, I'm dual booting the machine, how would I know which drive of windows is which in ubuntu ?
[09:47] <bmgz> fyrestrtr: that deosnt work - i cant use gnome shortcuts
[09:47] <fyrestrtr> bmgz: are you using xgl?
[09:47] <bmgz> I was
[09:47] <bmgz> but i have to use us layout
[09:47] <Hoovey> fyrestrtr: got it to work :). thanks
[09:47] <fyrestrtr> xgl is known to mess up keyboard layouts.
[09:47] <jose> what pasword root ?
[09:47] <fyrestrtr> !root > jose
[09:47] <NoAlternative> I have an important question please
[09:48] <gnomefreak> NoAlternative: ask it
[09:48] <bmgz> fyrestrtr: I had this problem before i installed XGL
[09:48] <fyrestrtr> bmgz: hrmm, there are only two uk keyboards in xmodmap -- have you tried both?
[09:48] <jose> reciently install kubuntu, not password the root_
[09:48] <NoAlternative> gnomefreak: I did
[09:48] <jose> -
[09:48] <fyrestrtr> !root
[09:48] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:49] <bmgz> fyrestrtr: the one borks my system, the other one deosnt work..
[09:49] <fyrestrtr> what kind of keyboard is it?
[09:49] <jose> jose@ubuntu:~$ !root
[09:49] <jose> bash: !root: event not found
[09:49] <eugman> How can I restore my multimedia settings to defaults?
[09:49] <NoAlternative> I have 4 Partition on my windows, I'm dual booting the machine, how would I know which drive of windows is which in ubuntu ?
[09:49] <bmgz> fyrestrtr: worked fine in breezy
[09:49] <nubuntu> sudo -s; passwd; exit; su - ftw
[09:49] <NoAlternative> I mean during installing
[09:49] <KJ-ro> sry was away debuging my image gallery ....  nubuntu and skavange if you still around... well i know the basics... already try'd everithing i could (that has to do with easy solving) ... all i ever wanted was a sources.list post to pastebin of  a person who succesfully executed this command "sudo apt-get installed unrar" !!! THAT's ALLLL someone has to do by now ... and i hope it'll be today .. cus tommorow i'll be off to work ... and i want this to be fixed 
[09:49] <fyrestrtr> jose: go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo and read that.
[09:49] <gnomefreak> NoAlternative: you want to know what ones are windowws and what ones are ubuntu. are you in ubuntu atm?
[09:49] <fyrestrtr> nubuntu: please, don't tell people that.
[09:50] <gnomefreak> NoAlternative: ah
[09:50] <NoAlternative> gnomefreak I'm installing ubuntu
[09:50] <nubuntu> fyrestrtr, why not?
[09:50] <ardchoille> fyrestrtr: It's quite having an /ignore list :)
[09:50] <jose> jose@ubuntu:~$ sudo passwd root
[09:50] <jose> Password:
[09:50] <jose> Sorry, try again.
[09:50] <gnomefreak> nubuntu: its bad advice
[09:50] <fyrestrtr> gnomefreak: the ones that are windows will be marked as having a ntfs file system in the partition manager step of the installer (if you are installing from the desktop cd)
[09:50] <nubuntu> why?
[09:50] <godtvisken> fyrestrtr: how do i know if i am using alsa?
[09:50] <lmosher> I have FC5 now. Can someone tell me if/why I should install Ubuntu? I've heard good things but I've been an RH guy for quite some time...
[09:50] <fyrestrtr> nubuntu: because, it is not supported.
[09:50] <gnomefreak> fyrestrtr: yes i know ;)
[09:51] <nubuntu> why?
[09:51] <fatejudger> is there a special place to ask XGL related questions?
[09:51] <MarcN> oldschool question -- which package has latex? latex209-base?
[09:51] <fyrestrtr> nubuntu: it just isn't.
[09:51] <gnomefreak> NoAlternative: see hat fyrestrtr said
[09:51] <nubuntu> su isnt supported?
[09:51] <nubuntu> why is it included
[09:51] <POVaddct> nubuntu: it's not the way the root account is supposed to be used under ubuntu
[09:51] <fyrestrtr> fatejudger: #ubuntu-xgl
[09:51] <gnomefreak> no nubuntu
[09:51] <JamesRasmussen> I need help I am having problems installing ubuntu I have pictures of the problems please pm me if you can help
[09:51] <NoAlternative> fyrestrtr all the drives are fat32
[09:51] <gnomefreak> nubuntu: please join #ubuntu-offtopic to finish this talk
[09:51] <fyrestrtr> nubuntu: setting the root password is not supported. Its not the 'ubuntu' way.
[09:51] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: then all of those are windows.
[09:51] <POVaddct> nubuntu: root should not be able to login directly
[09:52] <fyrestrtr> JamesRasmussen: just ask the question
[09:52] <NoAlternative> fyrestrtr: I need to install Ubuntu on one of these drives, which I know what is it within windows
[09:52] <nubuntu> my root can login directly
[09:52] <godtvisken> How do I know if I am using ALSA?
[09:52] <nubuntu> im using nubuntu 1.0
[09:52] <fyrestrtr> godtvisken: its the default :)
[09:52] <lmosher> I have a 2ghz pentium 4-m laptop.. Will it run faster on Ubuntu, FC5 or will it make a difference?
[09:52] <gnomefreak> nubuntu: than join #nubuntu
[09:52] <hivemind> So, can anyone help with my spellchecking issue?
[09:52] <NoAlternative> but now ubuntu installer changed there name from ABC to hda1, hda2, hda5, hda6, hda7
[09:52] <hivemind> "Hey guys I've mostly got Ubuntu working, but I can't get OpenOffice to spellcheck. It even passes horribly misspelled words."
[09:52] <godtvisken> fyrestrtr: oh, hm.
[09:52] <TaF> haha
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> hivemind: how far did you get with the whole install-a-dictionary thing? :)
[09:53] <TaF> you are going to need to learn to wpell, my freind
[09:53] <hivemind> There's one installed.
[09:53] <TaF> friend**
[09:53] <hivemind> Haha.
[09:53] <nubuntu> gnomefreak, nubuntu forwarded me to ubuntu
[09:53] <TaF> **egg on my face **
[09:53] <mumbles-laptop> damm the new ubuntu takes foreer to download
[09:53] <sola6662> can some1 link me to some sites that has anime based Login Manager for gnome?
[09:53] <hivemind> My excuse is that I got my wisdom teeth out.
[09:53] <hivemind> Pardon me while I go spit blood.
[09:54] <NoAlternative> check my messages before everyone skips them :)
[09:54] <gnomefreak> nubuntu: nubuntu is not supported by ubuntu yet iirc its still a 3rd party os
[09:54] <NoAlternative> cause this channel is so fast
[09:54] <gnomefreak> nubuntu: as i was saying join #ubuntu-offtopic to finish this
[09:54] <ardchoille> sola6662: You can try looking on http://art.gnome.org and http://gnome-look.org
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> hivemind: what did you install when you say you installed the dictionary?
[09:55] <hivemind> I didn't there is one installed "OpenOffice.org Hunspell SpellChecker"
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> lmosher: you won't notice a precieved difference in speed.
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> hunspell?
[09:55] <sola6662> been to them both ardchoille i remember checking out 1 link but i lost it
[09:55] <KJ-ro> ZZZzzzzZZZzzzzzz
[09:55] <MarcN> to answer my own latex question -- tetex-bin and tetex-src (for isolatin1.sty)
[09:55] <hivemind> fyrestrtr: Yeah, it came installed with OO.
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> latex -- the kinky side of typesetting

[09:56] <tom1502> FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/volatile/nvidia.ko): Invalid module format
[09:56] <NoAlternative> in the installation its asking me for Prepare mount points, what are these ?
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> hivemind: hrmmnn...it works here out of the box, although I did go ahead an install myspell.
[09:56] <hivemind> "Hunspell will be the default spell checker of the next version of OpenOffice.org office suite." - Sourceforge
[09:56] <BabarE> ok. any nordic users been able to get their keyboard to work in ubuntu 6.06? i am totally at a loss here.
[09:56] <JamesRasmussen> this happens to my 32bit when trying to install
[09:56] <JamesRasmussen> http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/4305/ubuntu001rl0.jpg
[09:56] <hivemind> I'll give myspell a shot.
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> tom1502: read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Video
[09:57] <JamesRasmussen> how can i fix this http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/4305/ubuntu001rl0.jpg
[09:57] <nubuntu> JamesRasmussen, can you boot with the kernel option noapic
[09:57] <JamesRasmussen> no, i tried turning that off from my bios and it gave me some big thing
[09:58] <JamesRasmussen> i think it said like kernal panic
[09:58] <nubuntu> not in the bios
[09:58] <tom1502> fyrestrtr thx
[09:58] <godtvisken> Has anyone been successful getting flash audio and video to sync?
[09:58] <nubuntu> godtvisken, not i
[09:58] <JamesRasmussen> nubuntu - how do i boot with the kernal option noapic?
[09:58] <NoAlternative> in the ubuntu installation its asking me for 2 partitions, one for "root file system" & one for "swap", can my windows fat32 drive act as swap ?
[09:59] <Spec> no
[09:59] <rpedro> NoAlternative: No!
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: no.
[09:59] <Spec> NoAlternative: you could make a file on your fat32 drive that could act as swap though, if you so desired
[09:59] <NoAlternative> so that means I need 2 partitions ?
[09:59] <nubuntu> JamesRasmussen, i dont know how with grub, only lilo
[09:59] <MarcN> JamesRasmussen: from the grub prompt.
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: yes, at a minimum.
[09:59] <Spec> NoAlternative: naa, you could do it with one partition :)
[09:59] <NoAlternative> Spec: how ?
[09:59] <jollyroger> how do i burn an .iso file with cdburnerxp and the dapper drake alternate cd download
[10:00] <Spec> NoAlternative: it depends how much work you're willing to do. the easiest most common way is to have two partitions, one for linux and one for swap
[10:00] <JamesRasmussen> marcn - how do i get to the grub prompt?
[10:00] <fyrestrtr> jollyroger: just right click on the iso file, and choose write to disc
[10:00] <jollyroger> how do i find the iso file
[10:00] <NoAlternative> Spec I have one partition on which I planned to install linux
[10:00] <fyrestrtr> JamesRasmussen: hit esc before the timer runs out :)
[10:00] <fyrestrtr> jollyroger: search for it?
[10:00] <JamesRasmussen> the timer of the menu where it says ubuntu
[10:00] <MarcN> JamesRasmussen: at the ubuntu boot screen, press escape.  It will give you the grub prompt where you can usually select from a number of kernels.
[10:00] <JamesRasmussen> or when it starts to load
[10:00] <NoAlternative> so I can re partition it into 2 ? but how ?
[10:00] <JamesRasmussen> like right after bios
[10:00] <ardchoille> jollyroger: How did you download that .iso file?
[10:00] <POVaddct> JamesRasmussen: it's _kernel_ not kernal. in the grub display, press 'e' to edit the entry, then go to the line containing root=..., press 'e' again and insert noapic in the line, press return and then 'b'
[10:00] <MarcN> JamesRasmussen: before it says loading linux
[10:01] <KJ-ro> some day before the next millennium linux should learn how to unrar :)) and how to write safly to NTFS .... :)
[10:01] <fyrestrtr> JamesRasmussen: when it starts to load.
[10:01] <jollyroger> GarrettC send me a link last night
[10:02] <fyrestrtr> POVaddct: don't you need a option= or something?
[10:02] <ardchoille> jollyroger: was it a http link or wget?
[10:02] <Spec> NoAlternative: install linux without swap, then create a file: dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/swapfile bs=1024 count=132207;chmod 600 /path/to/swapfile;mkswap /path/to/swapfile;swapon /path/to/swapfile
[10:02] <BabarE> my problem is this: after fixing xorg.conf so that i can have dual-head display, i can not
[10:02] <jollyroger> I think wget
[10:02] <fyrestrtr> POVaddct: or maybe noapic=on or something
[10:02] <POVaddct> fyrestrtr: no, its just noapic
[10:02] <BabarE> get my aa ae oe to work any more, even though the layout is norwegian
[10:02] <Spec> NoAlternative: then in your fstab: /path/to/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
[10:02] <POVaddct> fyrestrtr: if noapic fixes the bug at all, i don't know
[10:02] <fyrestrtr> KJ-ro: it can unrar now, and write to ntfs too -- but the writing to ntfs part is not completely safe.
[10:02] <Spec> NoAlternative: that'll make it come up on boot ... but that's only a 128 megabyte swapfile, you're gonna want the size to be twice your ram
[10:02] <KJ-ro> well ... take a look:
[10:02] <KJ-ro> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-116178.html
[10:02] <NoAlternative> wow man I'm a newbie installing ubuntu for the first time, I don't really get what you are saying
[10:02] <JamesRasmussen> okay i will try that but before i do i want to show you guys the error i get with the 64bit version livecd of ubuntu http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/8043/ubuntu005kq6.jpg
[10:02] <fyrestrtr> POVaddct: hrmm .. okay :)
[10:02] <Spec> NoAlternative: so, as commonly done, the easiest way is to have two partitions for linux, one is going to be for swap and one will be for linux :)
[10:02] <KJ-ro> fyrestrtr .. can write to ntfs.. i read about it.. they sad it's dangerous
[10:02] <KJ-ro> is it ?
[10:02] <t3elmar> Hello, I am new to ubuntu. I use debian.
[10:02] <ardchoille> jollyroger: if it was a wget command, wget would download the iso file to which ever dir you were in when you ran wget.. possibly in your home dir.
[10:02] <t3elmar> I would like to now how I could migrate tu ubuntu.
[10:02] <t3elmar> In the http web I haven't found the right infomations.  Maybe you could give me some hints?
[10:02] <Spec> !debian to ubuntu
[10:02] <ubotu> I know nothing about debian to ubuntu - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:02] <fyrestrtr> KJ-ro: well, yes and no. Its hit and miss. I personally have not had any problems.
[10:03] <NoAlternative> I think I can do that, close ubuntu setup go back to windows & user my partitioning software to create 2 partitions ?
[10:03] <jollyroger> i have all of the files that downloaded but i don't know which one is the iso and what ones need burnt
[10:03] <fyrestrtr> KJ-ro: but I wouldn't do it on critical data (this was just music)
[10:03] <mnp> crimsun: i have AMIBIOS 0204 and there is no option to disable devices except the IDE (harddrive?)
[10:03] <Spec> NoAlternative: Ubuntu's installer has partitioning software that'll create two partitions, what you should do is have one windows partition and one blank partition
[10:03] <Jemt> Greetz. Is it possible to fetch all images from a given folder using wget ? ie.  wget http://domain/folder/*
[10:03] <POVaddct> fyrestrtr: the kernel boot parameters have no general format. there are things like acpi=off, but also things like noapic
[10:03] <JamesRasmussen> the error i get with the 64bit version livecd of ubuntu http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/8043/ubuntu005kq6.jpg
[10:03] <fyrestrtr> jollyroger: the iso one has the .iso extension. What are you trying to burn?
[10:03] <Spec> NoAlternative: and just tell ubuntu to install into the blank space -- it'll take care of the partitions for you
[10:03] <mnp> is there another way to disable peripherals?
[10:03] <jollyroger> a live cd to install ubuntu
[10:04] <Spec> jollyroger: yarr
[10:04] <fyrestrtr> Jemt: yes, read the man page of wget :) its in there.
[10:04] <crimsun> mnp: sure, unload the kernel modules.
[10:04] <NoAlternative> where is this partitioning software
[10:04] <NoAlternative> ?
[10:04] <crimsun> mnp: that will free the irqs
[10:04] <fyrestrtr> mnp: or stop hotplug.
[10:04] <Jemt> fyrestrtr: What should I look for ?
[10:04] <mnp> crimsun: i have no idea how to do either
[10:04] <fyrestrtr> Jemt: the part where it says 'recursive'
[10:04] <crimsun> fyrestrtr: hotplug is moot in Dapper.
[10:04] <Spec> NoAlternative: boot the LiveCD and either run the program 'gparted', or just double click the install icon, it's bundled into the installer
[10:04] <Jemt> fyrestrtr: Great, thanks :)
[10:04] <fyrestrtr> Jemt: its a very comprehensive manual.
[10:04] <tom1502> fyrestrtr oh iforgot: i changed from 386 to 686  kernel
[10:04] <JamesRasmussen> can anyone answer me i get this error in 64bit ubuntu http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/8043/ubuntu005kq6.jpg
[10:04] <Jemt> fyrestrtr: Yes , I can see that :)
[10:04] <mnp> crimsun and fyerstrtr: how do i unload the kernel modules?
[10:04] <Spec> !repeat > JamesRasmussen
[10:05] <Spec> mnp: rmmod
[10:05] <NoAlternative> Spec: thats what I was doing the "install"
[10:05] <ardchoille> jollyroger: You can do a: ls -l ~/*.iso  and possibly find out the filename
[10:05] <NoAlternative> it was only showing me my partitions not asking me to repartition any particular partition ?
[10:05] <hivemind> fyrestrtr: Thank you!
[10:05] <crimsun> mnp: your lsmod output lists kernel drivers that are loaded. Do you use a printer with that machine?
[10:05] <Spec> NoAlternative: do you have free space on your drive?
[10:05] <POVaddct> JamesRasmussen: same dell machine?
[10:05] <mnp> not locally, i use a "local" one on a network
[10:05] <mnp> the only thing i really need is USB
[10:05] <fyrestrtr> hivemind: well you spelled that correctly, so I guess its working :)
[10:05] <crimsun> mnp: then you can unload the printer driver.
[10:05] <mnp> crimsun: no printer, the only thing i really need is USB
[10:06] <drezha> lo all
[10:06] <NoAlternative> Spec I have 4 drives and 1 drive is totally empty
[10:06] <Cntryboy> Anyone know of a screen capture program to record movements in kubuntu?
[10:06] <crimsun> mnp: or more precisely, the parallel port driver.
[10:06] <Cntryboy> I wanna make a xgl video :)
[10:06] <NoAlternative> and I kept that drive for ubuntu
[10:06] <NoAlternative> its 10 GB drive
[10:06] <Spec> NoAlternative: oh, so just point ubuntu to install into the empty drive
[10:06] <hivemind> fyrestrtr: ^_^
[10:06] <ardchoille> Cntryboy: istanbul will do that
[10:06] <Spec> NoAlternative: you should be able to do that via the installer
[10:06] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: just choose the option 'use available free space'
[10:06] <mnp> crimsun: how do i disable the paralell port driver?
[10:06] <fyrestrtr> mnp: why?
[10:06] <NoAlternative> yeah but the setup was saying to choose 2 partition one for "root file system" and one for swap
[10:06] <fyrestrtr> Cntryboy: there was a digg for that a while back....
[10:07] <nubuntu> mnp, rm `modprobe -l|grep parport`
[10:07] <zwnj> what's the problem with archive.ubuntu.com? i get """Err http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy Release.gpg -- Could not connect to archive.ubuntu.com:80 (85.133.25.7), connection timed out"""
[10:07] <jollyroger> i did that search and found a shitload of files
[10:07] <Spec> mnp: he meant to say: rmmod `modprobe -l|grep parport`
[10:07] <fyrestrtr> zwnj: maybe your isp is having problems?
[10:07] <brutopia_> is it possible to prevent disk filter driver from attaching connected diskdrive
[10:07] <crimsun> mnp: modprobe -r ppdev lp parport_pc
[10:07] <nubuntu> Spec, no, i meant delete it, if you remove it, it just reloads nexttime
[10:07] <fyrestrtr> jollyroger: please, mind your language.
[10:07] <zwnj> fyrestrtr: i tried torify too
[10:07] <jollyroger> sorry
[10:07] <Spec> nubuntu: why would you delete a module? o.O!
[10:07] <drezha> how can I add a second drive? it's recognised in discs but it needs a mount point..what do I select?
[10:07] <nubuntu> so it doesnt load
[10:07] <Spec> nubuntu: you could just blacklist it
[10:07] <skavenge> just blacklist it
[10:08] <JamesRasmussen> POVaddct - it's not a dell machine it's a dell monitor my machine is built by me
[10:08] <nubuntu> or you can just delete it
[10:08] <fyrestrtr> nubuntu: just add it to the blacklist
[10:08] <Spec> !blacklist
[10:08] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add "blacklist modulename" to the end of that list
[10:08] <ardchoille> jollyroger: You can try a: ls -l ~/*ubunt*.iso
[10:08] <mnp> crimsun: mnp@mnp-notebook:~$  modprobe -r ppdev lp parport_pc
[10:08] <mnp> FATAL: Error removing ppdev (/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/kernel/drivers/char/ppdev.ko): Operation not permitted
[10:08] <fyrestrtr> drezha: you can select any directory you like.
[10:08] <crimsun> mnp: use sudo.
[10:08] <nubuntu> i thought it was easier to delete agp-gart than to blacklist it
[10:08] <mnp> crimsun: done
[10:08] <mnp> now what?
[10:08] <NoAlternative> Spec ?
[10:08] <Spec> NoAlternative: yes?
[10:08] <crimsun> mnp: sudo modprobe -r snd-intel8x0 && modprobe snd-intel8x0
[10:08] <Cntryboy> ok back sorry
[10:09] <Spec> NoAlternative: just tell the installer to install into the free space on the drive that's not being used
[10:09] <tom1502> fyrestrtr so do i have to make a manual install?
[10:09] <Cntryboy> fyrestrtr: so do ya know where I could find it?
[10:09] <fyrestrtr> Cntryboy: google :)
[10:09] <fyrestrtr> I don't have it bookmarked on this machine.
[10:09] <NoAlternative> Spec: I said above that it was asking me to choose 2 drives one for "root file system" and one for swap
[10:09] <jollyroger> i'm getting a bunch of DEB files
[10:09] <Cntryboy> ardchoille: sorry didn't see ur line about istanbul, does it record sound also?
[10:09] <fatejudger> video seems to be very laggy and jerky in Gnome

[10:09] <tnjb_> hello, I was wondering if I could get some help trying to fix up a strange internet connection problem
[10:09] <fyrestrtr> tom1502: sorry, what?
[10:09] <weedar> Any way I can boot as root into my own system? Due to a wrong /etc/hosts configuration I can't sudo right  now.. :)
[10:09] <ardchoille> Cntryboy: That I don't know, I don't use sound
[10:10] <fatejudger> is there some way to change some video settings to get it to work better?
[10:10] <mnp> crimsun: i got a couple of erros. ill pastebin them
[10:10] <Spec> NoAlternative: two partitions, one drive, what did you select that it would ask you that question? manual?
[10:10] <fatejudger> I seem to remember having this problem in KDE, but there were some options to change
[10:10] <drezha> any folder? I tried /mnt and /boot but I restarted and boom gone...
[10:10] <fyrestrtr> fatejudger: depending on your video card, you may be able to get accelerated graphics using binary drivers. Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Video
[10:10] <drezha> does it have to be in my home folder?
[10:10] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: already have fglrx
[10:10] <NoAlternative> Spec: yes manual
[10:10] <fyrestrtr> drezha: if you want to have it keep mounting itself on each reboot, you have to add it to /etc/fstab
[10:10] <mnp> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18233
[10:10] <Spec> NoAlternative: well, don't do manual partitioning if you dont' know how to
[10:10] <tom1502> fyrestrtr u gave me link top video tutorial because of my invalid module format error... ive changed from 386 kernel to 686 kernel, and after this the problem occurs.. so what do i have to do now?
[10:10] <mnp> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18233
[10:10] <fyrestrtr> fatejudger: are you sure its running?
[10:10] <Infern0o> Can anybody please help me with getting my ubuntu wireless with wep encryption working? (it works on unsecured network)
[10:12] <ardchoille> !dma > fatejudger
[10:12] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: where are all the options to change the video settings
[10:12] <ardchoille> fatejudger: I hope that will help
[10:12] <Cntryboy> ardchoille: okay thx man
[10:12] <drezha> fyrestrtr, set mount point to /etc/fstab?
[10:12] <Spec> weedar: boot into the livecd, mount the partition with ubuntu installed, then do: chroot /media/ubuntu(wherever your linux partition is mounted)
[10:12] <fyrestrtr> fatejudger: what settings? if you are looking for a control panel, I think its only available from the drivers from ati.
[10:12] <Cntryboy> ardchoille: will apt-get work
[10:12] <sola6662> yo i need a list of Dep's that i need?
[10:12] <ardchoille> !info instanbul
[10:12] <fyrestrtr> drezha: no, you need to edit the file /etc/fstab and add an entry for your drive there.
[10:12] <ubotu> Package instanbul does not exist in dapper
[10:12] <drezha> right cheers
[10:12] <ardchoille> !info istanbul

[10:12] <mnp> crimsun: i did
[10:12] <h4v0k> its still not working
[10:12] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: Kaffeine has tons of options for configuring video output
[10:12] <ardchoille> Cntryboy: It should, istanbul is in universe
[10:12] <Cntryboy> kk thx
[10:12] <crimsun> mnp: no, I omitted it.
[10:12] <h4v0k> i cant enable java
[10:12] <gatekeeper> Infern0o: I would use wpa rather than wep if your router & card supports it
[10:12] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: I was able to get it working in Kaffeine playing around with everything
[10:12] <h4v0k> or how bout opera
[10:12] <fyrestrtr> fatejudger: sorry, i don't know what is kaffeine, other than the stuff in coffee

[10:13] <aldudturn> what is a good ethernet card that will work with ubuntu? (plus under a tenner)
[10:13] <sola6662> it dont let me get KDE
[10:13] <fyrestrtr> !upgrade > MaxeyPad
[10:13] <Hoovey> kde sucks..
[10:13] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: isn't there some other area to look for options in video?
[10:13] <gnomefreak> Hoovey: join #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[10:13] <mnp> crimsun: i see looks okay now
[10:13] <fyrestrtr> fatejudger: you mean *playing* videos, or changing the video resolution for X?
[10:13] <mnp> sudo modprobe -r snd-intel8x0 && sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0
[10:13] <fyrestrtr> fatejudger: two different things.
[10:13] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: there are multiple methods for outputting video
[10:13] <kupo> hey channel I just went from breezy badger to dapper drake and grub not playing nice at all
[10:13] <tnjb_> hello, is there anyone around to help with an internet problem.  I'm hoping it will be a straight forward problem...
[10:13] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: whether through OpenGL, or something else
[10:14] <kupo> how can i get grub to see/load the new kernel?
[10:14] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: what I need is a way to change which one it uses
[10:14] <fyrestrtr> ooh, try mplayer -- tons of video options :)
[10:14] <fyrestrtr> finally understood what you mean.
[10:14] <crimsun> mnp: now check if /proc/interrupts lists the sound device type
[10:14] <gatekeeper> Infern0o: if you are the family network manager they get it the way it comes (i.e. the way you set it up) :-)
[10:14] <spades> kupo have you tried sudo update-grub?
[10:14] <fyrestrtr> !anyone
[10:14] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:14] <aldudturn> So anyone know a good ethernet card to use with ubuntu?
[10:14] <stewart> my usb stick is mounting but not allowing write access
[10:14] <mnp> crimsun: im a real new to linux. how do i check the /proc/inter...
[10:14] <kupo> spades: trying now!
[10:14] <crimsun> mnp: cat /proc/interrupts
[10:14] <stewart> anyone else had similar probs?
[10:14] <fyrestrtr> aldudturn: most are supported. Depends on what you need to do with the card.
[10:14] <tnjb_> ubotu, cheers, I will try that!  :)  sorry for being new!!!
[10:14] <ubotu> I know nothing about cheers, I will try that!  :)  sorry for being new!!! - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:15] <skavenge> fatejudger: you find totem (if thats what your using) has way less options in gnome than kaffiene in kde, you made need a another player like vlc player or mplayer to configure things like that, or gxine
[10:15] <sola6662> i wanna get gdesklets but it seems like i cant get the package nor install it
[10:15] <fyrestrtr> tnjb_: ubotu is a bot :)
[10:15] <gatekeeper> aldudturn: I would look for one with native linux drivers
[10:15] <Infern0o> gatekeeper: i wish that was true :) i AM the family network manager, but since it's working on their (windows) pc's they are friggin stubborn :)

[10:15] <ardchoille> stewart: are you using sudo to write to it?
[10:15] <tnjb_> ah, I really am new arn't i!   :S
[10:15] <_Caleb_> ok anyone using 1280x800 resolution
[10:15] <skavenge> _Caleb_: yup
[10:15] <aldudturn> fyrestrtr: i need to connect a wireless bridge to let me connect to the internet
[10:15] <_Caleb_> k
[10:15] <_Caleb_> howd you set it to use it
[10:15] <mnp> crimsun: what am i looking for?
[10:15] <stewart> ardchoille: no nautilus under my user why?
[10:15] <NoAlternative> Spec: I selected the option of freed space, its showing me a meter bar New Partition Size 45% (3.2 GB) what does this means /
[10:16] <crimsun> mnp: something like "Intel ICH6"
[10:16] <aldudturn> i think ill have a look on amazon, I'm buying some new headphones tonight so ill get it with it
[10:16] <skavenge> _Caleb_: setup as default i didnt change anything
[10:16] <fyrestrtr> aldudturn: for wireless, ipw2200 works best, afaik.
[10:16] <_Caleb_> ehhh
[10:16] <_Caleb_> it didnt give me the option on mine
[10:16] <gnomefreak> stewart: are you using gnome?
[10:16] <kupo> aha spades that seems to have done something
[10:16] <stewart> sure
[10:16] <crimsun> mnp: it doesn't have to be ICH-6-, of course. ICH4 or ICH5 is fairly plausible for your hardware.
[10:16] <skavenge> its the only res i even have on my laptop
[10:16] <_Caleb_> just 1024x768
[10:16] <rpedro> h4v0k: I had problems before with java, where it wouldn't load, most notably azureus wouldn't run correctly. turned out to be a conflict with the gnu java virtual machine, after I uninstalled it ,java worked fine , so, search in synaptic for 'gnu java' and uninstall anything which doesn't have any dependant packages, and uninstalled it, can't remember any specific package name, sorry. good luck :-)
[10:16] <mnp> crimsun: there is a bunch of intel stuff that looks familar. ill post bin.
[10:16] <ardchoille> stewart: When I plug in a usn stick only root can write to it. Sounds like you have the same issue
[10:16] <kupo> did I need to be chrooted into the new install ?
[10:16] <mnp> i have ICH4 im prety sure
[10:16] <gnomefreak> stewart: go to places>home folder
[10:16] <_Caleb_> heh ipw220 is the wireless for my laptop
[10:16] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: that's how much its going to resize your windows partition. You need to do the manual partitioning.
[10:16] <gatekeeper> Infern0o: my other half uses a windows lpa top and I have it using wpa, haven't tried setting up in linux yet but windows is easy enought
[10:16] <gatekeeper> !wireless
[10:16] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs with Broadcom Specifics at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper
[10:16] <aldudturn> thanks fyrestrtr
[10:17] <_Caleb_> ipw220 works great
[10:17] <h4v0k> rpedro, ty
[10:17] <NoAlternative> fyrestrtr: but I want it to use the partition fully
[10:17] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: you need to do a manual partition.
[10:17] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: hit the previous button till you get to the partitioning section of the wizard, choose manual partition.
[10:17] <tnjb_> I have a problem being able going to specific web sites (including google.com) using a couple of different web browsers (firefox and lynx).  It says "the connection was reset".
[10:17] <tnjb_> other web sites work fine
[10:18] <fyrestrtr> then you need to create the partitions on the free disk. its not that difficult :)
[10:18] <drezha> fyrestrtr - Cheers. Think thats all sorted now :)
[10:18] <jollyroger> is md5sum the file i need?
[10:18] <tnjb_> anyone able to help?
[10:18] <mnp> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18236
[10:18] <NoAlternative> fyrestrtr: but there it asks me to manually select 2 partitions one for "root file system" and one for swap & I only have 1 partition which is 10 gb which I want to allocate fully to ubuntu
[10:18] <stewart> the read only USB is not a user issue
[10:18] <mnp> crimsun: on second look i dont see any intel device shown
[10:18] <stewart> it wont write from   root
[10:18] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: you have 10 gb of free space?
[10:18] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: or a 10gb partition that is fat32 that you want to use?
[10:18] <stewart> and it only recently started doing this after my last update
[10:19] <fyrestrtr> drezha: np :)
[10:19] <synth> Arrrggghh (exscuse me..) why is it every freaking (sda, hda, hdb, hdd) volume/part i have other than my boot part is Device or resource busy? none of them are mounted, lsof reports *nothing open*
[10:19] <synth> what gives? I can't mount my ntfs, my reiserfs backup disk
[10:19] <NoAlternative> fyrestrtr 10gb partition that is fat32 which I want to use
[10:19] <fyrestrtr> synth: type mount see what is mounted.
[10:19] <stewart> I'm thinking some thing got buggered on the last update for USB/Volume management
[10:20] <crimsun> mnp: then you need to boot with irqpoll in addition to acpi=off
[10:20] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: you will need to delete the partition first. A partition that is fat32 is not considered 'free space' :)
[10:20] <synth> fyrestrtr, mount and proc mount both show nothing mounted, i see errrors when i actually *try* to mount my other parts
[10:20] <fatejudger> when playing video in mplayer, I get this error while playing "alsa-control: unable to find simple control 'PCM',0"
[10:20] <synth> using mount -a
[10:20] <cparker> I have a major problem... I cannot use my machine now.
[10:20] <crimsun> fatejudger: do you actually have such an element?
[10:20] <NoAlternative> fyrestrtr but I was format it here with ubuntu ?
[10:21] <fatejudger> crimsun: I didn't have this problem in Kaffeine or Totem
[10:21] <NoAlternative> *but I can
[10:21] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: yes, don't worry about that part right now. Just click on the partition, and hit the button for delete. Then hit apply. You will know its deleted because the section will show up as a grey area in the partition program.
[10:21] <fatejudger> crimsun: but Totem just plays the videos really slowly
[10:21] <cart> Hi, how can i configure the dns servers on dapper server??? Something keep changing the /etc/resolv.conf ?
[10:21] <cparker> I was browsing a Windows network... I right-clicked a Windows share, and when it asked me what I wanted to name it, I cleared the textbox and clicked OK. Now, both gnome-panel and nautilus are crashing, even in Failsafe mode. What can I do?
[10:21] <sola6662> can someone help me get gdesklets?
[10:21] <tnjb_> sorry to repeat and for the lack of knowing any etitique but ...
[10:21] <tnjb_> I have a problem being able going to specific web sites (including google.com) using a couple of different web browsers (firefox and lynx).  It says "the connection was reset".
[10:21] <tnjb_> other web sites work fine
[10:21] <tnjb_> anyone able to help?
[10:21] <fyrestrtr> cart: if you are using dhcp, that's probably doing it.
[10:21] <stewart> seems a bad time to try to sort my palm pda to synch through USB :-)
[10:22] <cart> fyrestrtr: No, not using dhcp
[10:22] <Paddy_EIRE> Can anyone tell me if NeverWinter Nights can still run natively on Ubuntu linux
[10:22] <fyrestrtr> tnjb_: ask a question, then have patience please.
[10:22] <mnp> crimsun: thanks for your help. before i try that, should the line read: kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-386 root=/dev/hda3 ro quiet splash irqpoll acpi=off
[10:22] <void^> Paddy_EIRE: yes, runs fine
[10:22] <Paddy_EIRE> and how much Hassel
[10:22] <crimsun> mnp: yes
[10:22] <drezha> google is being a bit wotsite ATM anyhow...I cant use the firefox bars to seearch and it takes forever on there website
[10:22] <fatejudger> I just don't understand why everything is so slow in Gnome, even with the binary drivers
[10:22] <mnp> cool. ill give it a shot
[10:22] <crimsun> fatejudger: I don't see how any of that has to do with mplayer.
[10:22] <NoAlternative> fyrestrtr: what does deleting a partition means ? formatting it as ext3 ?
[10:22] <tnjb_> will do
[10:22] <fatejudger> window redrawing is slow
[10:22] <cparker> I'm running Ubuntu Dapper.
[10:22] <fatejudger> video playback is slow
[10:22] <void^> Paddy_EIRE: moderate, you can download pretty much everything from bioware
[10:22] <fyrestrtr> cart: and something is changing your dns servers?
[10:22] <din> where does ubuntu store it's downloaded packages at?
[10:23] <fatejudger> crimsun: mplayer gives me that error
[10:23] <fyrestrtr> din: /var/cache/apt/archives
[10:23] <PORDO> i removed something once, and my pcmcia services fail.  what do i need to re-install to get that back up?
[10:23] <din> fyrestrtr: thx
[10:23] <fatejudger> I just want to figure this out, one problem at a time
 cheers mate, are u a fan
[10:23] <mborohovski> hi all. this might me a stupid question, but i haven't found it online...
[10:23] <amortvigil> hey how do you do a lymlink?
[10:23] <crimsun> fatejudger: right, and you haven't answered my question yet
[10:23] <amortvigil> symlink
[10:23] <fyrestrtr> amortvigil: man ln
[10:23] <fatejudger> you didn't ask me a quesiton
[10:23] <moonlite> amortvigil: ln -s file link
[10:23] <mborohovski> ubuntu server edition. what is the difference from desktop edition?
[10:23] <crimsun> fatejudger: scroll up
[10:23] <mborohovski> i mean, once its installed is it the same? gui-wise?
[10:23] <fyrestrtr> mborohovski: doesn't install the graphical interface by default.
[10:23] <moonlite> or just ln -s file and it will be called the same as the file it is linking to
[10:24] <cparker> Did anybody see my question?
[10:24] <mborohovski> ah, i see.
[10:24] <fatejudger> crimsun: the "do you have such an element?" quesiton?
[10:24] <crimsun> fatejudger: yes
[10:24] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: no, deleting it means that it will be empty space.
[10:24] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: a spot on your hard disk that has nothing on it, no partitions.
[10:24] <moonlite> amortvigil: middle-click, drag and release and chose "make link" will work too
[10:24] <mborohovski> fyrestrtr: so if i want both a desktop and server configuration, what easier? install server edition and then configure desktop? or install desktop edition and configure server?
[10:24] <moonlite> i think
[10:24] <cparker> This situation happened when I told it to "Connect to server".
[10:24] <fyrestrtr> mborohovski: install desktop, then ....
[10:24] <fyrestrtr> !lamp
[10:25] <fatejudger> crimsun: well seeing as though MPlayer is the only media player which gives me that error, I'm assuming that it works fine under normal circumstances
[10:25] <ubotu> lamp is a shortcut for Linux-Apache-Mysql-{PHP,Perl,Python}. To setup a LAMP server on Ubuntu, install the packages libapache2-mod-php5, php5-mysql, and mysql-server-5.0. You can also choose 'install a LAMP server' from the server install cd boot menu. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[10:25] <mborohovski> i see
[10:25] <mborohovski> what about security settings? i.e. ports left open, etc.
[10:25] <crimsun> fatejudger: it's much easier just to give me the output from ``amixer'' on pastebin
[10:25] <b1shop> can anyone tell me if modrerwite is included in apache?
[10:25] <Spec> My cereal device isn't working ... i'm hungry :-/
[10:25] <fyrestrtr> mborohovski: you can manage that with any iptables-based firewall (like shorewall, or firestarter)
[10:25] <ardchoille> mborohovski: I installed ubuntu then installed the LAMP stuff and I like the way it all worked out
[10:25] <stinkball> does anyone know how to install GRUB? I was using ubuntu fine until i tried to boot up my computer and it couldn't find a boot record
[10:25] <fyrestrtr> b1shop: yes.
[10:25] <_binks_> can anyone helpme with monodevelop
[10:26] <Spec> stinkball: boot the livecd and run "update-grub"
[10:26] <Spec> stinkball: and then run: grub-install /dev/hda (if you use an IDE harddrive)
[10:26] <ToHellWithGA> what do i need to do to have a non-default Live CD using a USB drive?
[10:26] <b1shop> fyrestrtr, additional package?  my .htaccess file is giving 404's
[10:26] <JamesRasmussen> the no epic command between quiet and splash didn't work
[10:26] <MTecknology> What command can I use to calculate the space of my root directory excluding a few folders??
[10:26] <fyrestrtr> b1shop: read the README file in /etc/apache2/
[10:26] <crimsun> JamesRasmussen: you mean "noapic"? There's no "no epic".
[10:26] <cparker> basically, i need to find out where these "Server shortcuts" are being "mounted" so I can get rid of this latest one. Can anyone PLEASE help?
[10:26] <Spec> MTecknology: df -h will show you your % of used space for your filesystems mounted
[10:26] <POVaddct> JamesRasmussen: then i cannot help you
[10:26] <fyrestrtr> MTecknology: hrmm, du --max-depth=1 -h
[10:27] <Spec> MTecknology: cd / du -ckhs *   will go down and show you the space for each folder under /
[10:27] <Spec> MTecknology: make that: cd /;du -ckhs *
[10:27] <_Caleb_> ok other than defualt how can i change my resolution if its not one to choose
[10:27] <fyrestrtr> _Caleb_: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:27] <Spec> _Caleb_: maybe try ctrl+alt++ (numpad +)
[10:27] <Spec> _Caleb_: or maybe the real +
[10:27] <POVaddct> JamesRasmussen: btw, it is noapic, not "no epic"
[10:27] <b1shop> fyrestrtr, the readme says nothing about mod_rewrite
[10:27] <fyrestrtr> b1shop: scroll to the very bottom where it talks about enabling modules
[10:27] <hellais> hi
[10:28] <hellais> h
[10:28] <ToHellWithGA> holla hellais
[10:28] <Spec> hellais: do you want a 'hello' from all 847 members? :)
[10:28] <tnjb_> what does  ctrl+alt++ (numpad +) do?
[10:28] <hellais> i am having problems with eagle-usb
[10:28] <Spec> tnjb_: changes resolution sometimes
[10:28] <stinkball> spec i just ran sudo update-grub with the live cd and it says permission denied
[10:28] <stewart> is anyone else having usb issues?
[10:28] <hellais> they are givving me
[10:28] <cparker> hmm :( *tap tap* is this thing on?
[10:28] <mnp> crimsun: i walked away from the notebook when it booted, but looks like it didnt freeze
[10:28] <hellais> these errors
[10:28] <Spec> tnjb_: i think the resolution needs to be correct in /etc/X11/xorg.conf in order for that to work
[10:28] <fyrestrtr> tnjb_: it cycles the resolutions that are listed in xorg.conf for the current color depth.

[10:29] <crimsun> mnp: now unload those three modules I said before and reload snd-intel8x0

[10:29] <jrib> oezguer: for google, you need flash
[10:29] <Spec> !restrictedformats > oezguer
[10:29] <crimsun> fatejudger: any pastebin suffices.
[10:30] <[sellout] > ardchoille, i dont have gnome installed
[10:30] <mnp> that was the rm - command?
[10:30] <oezguer> how can install them? jrib Spec
[10:30] <b1shop> fyrestrtr, do you have an example?  nothing in the wiki about it
[10:30] <fyrestrtr> b1shop: example of enabling mod_rewrite?
[10:30] <hellais> eagle-usb
[10:30] <Spec> oezguer: read the links ubotu told you
[10:30] <hellais> anyone?
[10:30] <ardchoille> [sellout] : How did you install Ubuntu?
[10:30] <b1shop> fyrestrtr, yes please
[10:30] <cparker> fyrestrtr: I went through that... Places > Network Servers. I found a share, right-clicked and clicked "Connect to server". I cleared the textbox that came up, clicked "Connect" or "OK", or whatever the button was, and now I cannot use my machine. gnome-panel and nautilus both crash infinitely. How do I undo this?
[10:30] <oezguer> oki thanx
[10:30] <[sellout] > ardchoille, i did a server install and installed x and e17 so i only get wha ti need
[10:30] <crimsun> fatejudger: so, looking at what you just pasted, why is it surprising that mplayer gives you that error?
[10:30] <skavenge> [sellout] : changing a gtk theme on anything but gnome isnt going to do anything
[10:31] <hellais> someone please query me
[10:31] <fatejudger> crimsun: because no other media player gives me that error
[10:31] <cart> fyrestrtr: Sorry, i was out of the computer... Yes, something keep changing my resolv.conf, and til now i don't find what it is
[10:31] <IseeIsee> Spec: I was dc, what does deleting a partition means ?
[10:31] <stinkball> spec, when i try to mount my hard drive, it says it doesn't exist
[10:31] <hellais> before i commit suicide it's like 2 days that i am compiling kernels on a pentium celeron with 48mb of ram
[10:31] <IseeIsee> Spec: merging it into rest of the HDD ?
[10:31] <[sellout] > all wms use gtk, the mastor gtk config for the fefault theme is somewhere.
[10:32] <anosa> fyrestrtr : yes i've tried that, it shows me computer names connected on my local network, but i still can't acces them
[10:32] <crimsun> fatejudger: media players use different controls. mplayer hardcodes PCM,0 by default. You don't have a PCM,0. Tell it to use another element.
[10:32] <ardchoille> hellais: People can /query you but you may not be able to reply to them as you aren't id'd to nickserv
[10:32] <Spec> IseeIsee: deleting a partition means it'll delete all the data under the partition, making it 'free space', but not usable space
[10:32] <skavenge> [sellout] : uh no, kde uses Qt, doesnt have anything to do with gtk
[10:32] <mborohovski> now if i know i want to install ubuntu, should i still download the desktop cd? or should i download the server install cd?
[10:32] <spades> cart you can chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf to prevent changes, +i to reverse
[10:32] <cart> spades: Ok, thanks
[10:32] <fyrestrtr> b1shop: ah wait, let me install apache on this box.
[10:32] <Spec> stinkball: sudo fdisk -l

[10:32] <[sellout] > skavenge, i have never used kde, i run e17
[10:32] <skavenge> [sellout] : and unless e17 specifically says it uses them it probably does either, or if it did it'd have a theme switcher integrated
[10:32] <hellais> ok
[10:32] <hellais> now i am
[10:32] <b1shop> fyrestrtr, wait.  i think i got it
[10:32] <hellais> so someone please please please
[10:32] <cparker> Can anyone see me? I feel like I'm invisible.
[10:32] <[sellout] > e17 uses gtk2, so does fluxbox
[10:33] <fatejudger> crimsun: what do I have then?
[10:33] <fyrestrtr> cparker: I see you
[10:33] <nubuntu> did you guys hear something

[10:34] <cparker> When I "connect" do a Windows share, where is that link stored?
[10:34] <MTecknology> k, thanks
[10:34] <cparker> to*
[10:34] <Banach> Spec, whenever i try to rip a cd, watch a dvd, play music using amarok, pretty much anything
[10:34] <tnjb_> anyone got any ideas?
[10:34] <fyrestrtr> b1shop: what are you typing in the url?
[10:34] <Spec> tnjb_: maybe try: "echo nameserver 4.2.2.1 > /etc/resolv.conf"
[10:34] <IseeIsee> Spec: unallocated & delete is the same thing ?
[10:34] <crimsun> mnp: sudo modprobe -r ppdev lp parport_pc
[10:34] <ardchoille> Banach: Dapper keeps crashing? Are you sure it's the kernel that crshes and not gnme or nautilus or something else?
[10:34] <Spec> IseeIsee: deleting a partition will make it unallocated
[10:34] <nubuntu> cparker, how are you connecting?  places -> connect to server?
[10:34] <mnp> crimsun: just like that? or do i need to sudo each one?
[10:34] <Spec> IseeIsee: you cannot use unallocated space ... once you make a partition on the unallocated space, and then make a filesystem on the partition, then it's usable space
[10:35] <cparker> nubuntu: yes
[10:35] <Banach> ardchoille, not sure at all. it freezes. (i waited 15 minutes for it to see if it came back to life but nothing)
[10:35] <crimsun> mnp: I gave you the precise syntax this time.
[10:35] <maxL> Need help finding a gameboy advance emulator for ubuntu
[10:35] <tnjb_> spec: I will try that.  what nameserver is 4.2.2.1  nslookup seems to return a bunch of IP's for google.com but the IP addresses in the web browser doesn't work
[10:35] <stinkball> spec: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18239
[10:35] <nubuntu> cparker, type mount
[10:35] <Spec> maxL: what's wrong with visualboy?
[10:35] <skavenge> [sellout] : possibly look at 'gtk-theme-swtch' in the repositories
[10:35] <mnp> crimsun: okay, no i need to load the snd_intel8x0 right?
[10:35] <maxL> Spec: It doesn't open.
[10:35] <fyrestrtr> tnjb_: type traceroute google.com
[10:35] <Spec> tnjb_: 4.2.2.1 is ... i think Level3's, it's a top tier dns
[10:35] <maxL> Spec: Like, I click it and nothing happens.
[10:35] <crimsun> mnp: unload then reload,yes.
[10:35] <Spec> maxL: yeah
[10:35] <cparker> ahhhhh
[10:35] <Spec> maxL: run it in the commandline
[10:35] <maxL> Spec: I've reinstalled it and stuff.
[10:35] <IseeIsee> Spec: so if there is some unallocated space available & I delete another partition, it is gonna merge with the previous unallocated space ?
[10:36] <JamesRasmussen> how do i install these drivers http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204910
[10:36] <Spec> stinkball: ready?
[10:36] <maxL> Spec: I'm not really very good with Linux yet, could you tell me how.
[10:36] <cparker> nubuntu: many thanks.
[10:36] <fatejudger> crimsun: why is it that sound is still outputted, it's just very jerky?
[10:36] <nubuntu> cparker, thats what nubuntu is for!
[10:36] <ardchoille> Banach: Do you have another desktop/window manager installed? KDE, fluxbox? This will help you narrow down the problem if you can find out if the others crash too
[10:36] <nubuntu> nubs
[10:36] <maxL> Spec: I'd ask my Dad how but he aint home.
[10:36] <fatejudger> crimsun: despite the fact that I don't have MPlayer set to output to an audio mixer that exists
[10:36] <mnp> crimsun: okay, when i tried to remove it, it said it wasnt found.  but loading it did not return an error. should i try alsamixer again?
[10:36] <Jack_Sparrow> IseeIsee: You might end up with two sections of unallocated space that will not merge together uniles they are adjacent
[10:36] <stinkball> Spec: yeah
[10:36] <[sellout] > skavenge, I already installed and tried that, it had no effect in any wm however it installs and previews themes fine. In other distros i have always used gtk-chtheme and it changes the system gtk theme howiever i dont see that for ubuntu
[10:37] <Banach> ardchoille, it crashes using kde/xfce/e17
[10:37] <Spec> stinkball: sudo su -;mkdir /media/ubuntu;mount /dev/hda5 /media/ubuntu;mount -t proc proc /media/ubuntu/proc;chroot /media/ubuntu/;update-grub;grub-install /dev/hda
[10:37] <Spec> stinkball: one after another, don't just copy paste that :)
[10:37] <ardchoille> Banach: Yikes!
[10:37] <crimsun> fatejudger: it's not the mixer element that matters for output, it's the device
[10:37] <[sellout] > perhaps there is an alternative? or i suppsoe i could always grab tar
[10:37] <Banach> ardchoille, tell me about it. and its only been since i upgraded to dapper
[10:37] <Spec> maxL: should be applications->something->terminal
[10:37] <IseeIsee> oh
[10:37] <Spec> !terminal
[10:37] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via applications -> accessories -> terminal (gnome) or kmenu -> system -> konsole (kde). Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[10:37] <mborohovski> does the ubuntu installer support sata controllers?
[10:37] <maxL> Spec : Yeah I know how to get into terminal
[10:37] <Banach> ardchoille, did i mention it also crashes in gnome.. :P
[10:37] <prophet> im new to linux. i installed the codec package in win32 folder but i still cant view AVI files ?
[10:37] <mborohovski> i remember last year when i tried installing it on my vaio s480, it didn't.
[10:37] <Spec> maxL: then type Visual(press tab)
[10:37] <fatejudger> crimsun: but why is sound still outputted?
[10:37] <crimsun> mnp: sure
[10:38] <Jack_Sparrow> mborohovski:  it works on my SATA but not all...
[10:38] <maxL> spec : kk did that now all this stuff came up
[10:38] <skavenge> [sellout] : id really try #enlightenment or #fluxbox then, other people are obviously doing it and not using the theme switching utilities in gnome/kde
[10:38] <nubuntu> prophet, avi is a container, not a format
[10:38] <Spec> mborohovski: yes
[10:38] <crimsun> fatejudger: ...because you have a default device.
[10:38] <mnp> crimsun: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[10:38] <mnp> same thiung
[10:38] <IseeIsee> Spec: I have 2 unallocated spaces right now in front of me, how can I merge them if possible ?
[10:38] <maxL> Spec: It opened up Config I think
[10:38] <fyrestrtr> prophet: did you follow the instructions in the wiki?
[10:38] <Spec> maxL: read it and make sense of it .... :)
[10:38] <ardchoille> Banach: Oh, I found that upgrading from one release to the next causes problems for me, I don't do that anymore, I install fresh from CD.
[10:38] <maxL> Spec : kk
[10:38] <unmoldable> Anyone here good with multi-monitor setups (xinerama) ?  I posted a thread on the forums and no one's replying.  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217634
[10:38] <crimsun> mnp: do none of the other acpi/apic options work?
[10:38] <Spec> IseeIsee: i don't know how you have two unallocated spaces ... unless one is before a partition and the other is after a partition?
[10:38] <prophet> for installing the package?
[10:38] <fyrestrtr> yes
[10:38] <maxL> Spec : Is it nomal to have it say missing image file?
[10:38] <mnp> crimsun: i haven't tried any others
[10:38] <crimsun> mnp: e.g., pci=noacpi, noapic, etc.?
[10:38] <anosa> how to change the default player to mplayer when a vcd inserted ???
[10:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Spec: exactly what I said earlier
[10:39] <Banach> ardchoille, but thats just a pain because i have all sorts of random things everywhere... and it means i have to download a new cd
[10:39] <Banach> :p
[10:39] <crimsun> mnp: or, acpi=noirq
[10:39] <IseeIsee> Spec: I just deleted 1 drive thats y
[10:39] <Spec> maxL: it needs an image file because it's an emulator ... you'll have to magically get one off the webernet -- i can't help you about that, it may or may not be legal
[10:39] <mnp> crimsun: i found that acpi=off worked and stopped there.
[10:39] <Spec> IseeIsee: you can't combine unallocated space on two different drives
[10:39] <Spec> Jack_Sparrow: what?
[10:39] <b1shop> fyrestrtr, forget it.  i'll mess with it later.  apache rewrites the links, but i get 404/s when i click on them
[10:39] <maxL> Spec: Is an image a fancy word of rom?
[10:39] <fatejudger> crimsun: even if I do end up getting the settings to work in mplayer, it'll never work in Totem then, correct?
[10:39] <Spec> maxL: it could be ... but i think it's more like the bios of the gameboy
[10:39] <fyrestrtr> b1shop: sounds like a problem with your code then.
[10:39] <mnp> crimsun: is there anyway to check without rebooting my machine each time?
[10:39] <B|nTaRa-> whats the different running Ubuntu on VMware ?
[10:39] <maxL> Spec: OH. I see.
[10:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Spec: talking about 2 unallocated spaces must be adjacent to be combied
[10:40] <crimsun> fatejudger: what does your mplayer issue have to do with Totem?
[10:40] <Spec> Jack_Sparrow: ah, yeah
[10:40] <prophet> i think i need to install xvid
[10:40] <anosa> 'coz totem gimme an error message when i insert a VCD
[10:40] <maxL> Spec: I'll go check out the Visualboy website, might be able to get it there.
[10:40] <b1shop> fyrestrtr, nah.  code works.  i just moved it from a working centos server
[10:40] <fatejudger> crimsun: Totem has no settings to change the way video is outputted
[10:40] <IseeIsee> Spec: 1 unallocated space is 6 gb the other unallocated space is 3.27 gb, how should I proceed installing Ubuntu ?
[10:40] <crimsun> mnp: no
[10:40] <Spec> maxL: yeap, it's either one or the other .... not sure if gameboy's need their own bios file (like PS emulator's do)
[10:40] <fatejudger> crimsun: so I tried using MPlayer
[10:40] <fatejudger> crimsun: at least MPlayer gives me an error to work with
[10:40] <crimsun> fatejudger: how many issues are you throwing at me?
[10:40] <maxL> Spec: PS... I tried running one in windows I couldnt get it to work. x.x; Anyways Ill be back with the status report.
[10:40] <Spec> IseeIsee: make a 1 gig partition on the 3.27 gig drive and make it swap, take the rest of the drive and make it a reiserfs partition and mount it as /var, then install / on the 6gig drive
[10:40] <mnp> crimsun: didn't think so :). okay, whats the first place to start? acpi=noirq?
[10:40] <B|nTaRa-> how i wanna play windows games (EVE online) on Ubuntu ? can i do it ?
[10:41] <stinkball> spec: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18240
[10:41] <Banach> does grub work with jfs?
[10:41] <IseeIsee> what is /var ?
[10:41] <fatejudger> crimsun: 1, I can't play video correctly
[10:41] <Spec> stinkball: wtf, ls /proc
[10:41] <fatejudger> crimsun: I'd like to play it in Totem, but I can't see any way to do that
[10:41] <Spec> stinkball: does that have files in it?
[10:41] <crimsun> fatejudger: which backend are you using with totem?
[10:41] <drezh1> right I have a process then when at nice 19 scales the CPU to 950Mhz
[10:41] <fatejudger> crimsun: it says it's using gstreamer 0.10
[10:41] <IseeIsee> Spec: and how do I make a 1 gig partition on it, by doing "New" ?
[10:41] <drezh1> how do I disable this to allow it to run at 2.2GHz at nice 19
[10:41] <Spec> stinkball: what does: fdisk -l output?
[10:41] <Spec> IseeIsee: yes
[10:42] <kauschovar> B|nTaRa-: that depends on how well Eve works in cedega
[10:42] <IseeIsee> what is /var ?
[10:42] <fatejudger> crimsun: I actually had to go into the "about" section to find that
[10:42] <amortvigil> what do i do wrong: sudo apt-get remove --purg (filename)
[10:42] <Spec> IseeIsee: it's used for databases and logs
[10:42] <fyrestrtr> amortvigil: --purge
[10:42] <amortvigil> thnxa
[10:42] <B|nTaRa-> kauschovar:  what ya mean ? is there any guides on how to do it ?
[10:42] <stinkball> spec nothing right now
[10:42] <crimsun> fatejudger: then invoke ``gstreamer-properties'', click the Video tab, and choose something besides Autodetect in the Output dropdown of Default Output Plugin
[10:42] <kauschovar> B|nTaRa-: when I tried it about a year ago, they had made progress, but it still wasn't playable
[10:42] <fatejudger> crimsun: apparently complicated words like Gstreamer and Xine don't comply with the HIG
[10:42] <fyrestrtr> HIG?
[10:42] <B|nTaRa-> !cedega
[10:42] <tnjb_> spec: I tried both.   changing the DNS didn't make any difference
[10:42] <ubotu> cedega is a project based on wine, aimed at running windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Cedega
[10:42] <Spec> stinkball: you mounted proc correctly ...
[10:43] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: Human Interface Guidelines
[10:43] <Spec> tnjb_: is your /etc/hosts file whacked out?
[10:43] <kauschovar> B|nTaRa-: www.transgaming.org (it's not free though.  it costs $5/mo)
[10:43] <MTecknology> I want to make a small-as-possible backup of my system. I want to backup everything that won't be restored after a fresh install... I need to keep my wireless, personal settings, system settings, and everything I've Installed. What folders do I need??
[10:43] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: it's what seperates the intelligent from the Gnome DE
[10:43] <IseeIsee> Spec: so why do you want me to create a separate drive for /var ?
[10:43] <stinkball> spec: proc has files in it
[10:43] <Spec> IseeIsee: why not?
[10:43] <fyrestrtr> MTecknology: 'everything you have installed' <-- this would get rid of your whole 'make it small' theme.
[10:43] <tnjb_> spec: the traceroute hang at the router.  after the first hop (the router) it just came up with * * *
[10:43] <B|nTaRa-> kauschovar: thank you
[10:43] <Spec> stinkball: okay, you're in the chrooted environment still?
[10:44] <stinkball> yeah
[10:44] <kauschovar> sure
[10:44] <IseeIsee> Spec: I don't know thats y I'm asking
[10:44] <Spec> tnjb_: your router could be denying ICMP and it'd be common
[10:44] <Spec> IseeIsee: hehe
[10:44] <Spec> IseeIsee: just because. i wouldn't want to put /home on it, and i wouldn't want to waste the space ... so might as well put var on it
[10:44] <tnjb_> spec: let me check that out and get back to you
[10:44] <stinkball> spec: yeah
[10:44] <JamesRasmussen> a note to everyone don't try to install ubuntu on a Shuttle ST20G5.
[10:44] <MTecknology> fyrestrtr, I was hoping something that I can spit onto one or two cd's
[10:44] <Spec> stinkball: so what does: fdisk -l say?
[10:44] <Spec> MTecknology: you could backup to dvd or cd with the program: Mondo/Mindi
[10:45] <Spec> MTecknology: it'll do a full system backup though,
[10:45] <stinkball> spec: it doesn't give me any output
[10:45] <Spec> stinkball: ohhhh, hold up
[10:45] <oezguer> i installed streamviewer but i cant see it in menu :(???
[10:45] <fyrestrtr> MTecknology: well, all the stuff you've installed is in /var/cache/packages -- your personal files and settings (most of them) will be in your home directory (mind the hidden files and folders). The other major thing to worry about is the X configuration, which is /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:45] <maxL> Spec: still looking, haven't really had any luck.
[10:45] <MTecknology> Spec, how hard is it to recover from catastrophy with Mondo/Mindi??
[10:45] <Spec> stinkball: exit out of the chroot
[10:45] <unmoldable> MTecknology: for a smaller way, backup /etc/ and all files that start with . in your home directory.  Then instead of backing up the programs, just backup a list of what is installed
[10:45] <IseeIsee> Spec: can't i use this space for ubuntu rather then assigning it specifically to some /var ?
[10:45] <stinkball> spec: ok
[10:45] <Spec> MTecknology: Simple as hell, stick in cd, full restore from cd, done.
[10:45] <JamesRasmussen> I have offical given up on installing ubuntu to my system hope everyone else gets it installed fine
[10:45] <fyrestrtr> MTecknology: that's /var/cache/apt/archives -- sorry, late here :)
[10:46] <JamesRasmussen> bye
[10:46] <Spec> IseeIsee: you have to mount it as a folder .... what other folder would you want to mount it as? /home?
[10:46] <unmoldable> Mtecknology: You can get apt to do this pretty easily, then pass list ala # cat pkg-list | xargs sudo apt-get install
[10:46] <Spec> stinkball: do: mount -o bind /dev /media/ubuntu/dev
[10:46] <oezguer> Iinstalled streamviewer but i cant see it in menu :(???  how can i start it??
[10:46] <MTecknology> aight, thanks everybody
[10:46] <Bog_> hello
[10:46] <IseeIsee> Spec: why not restore the 3.27 back to FAT32 and use it in windows and out of the 6 GB get 1 gb for swap & leave the rest for ubuntu ?
[10:47] <maxL> Spec:  I think I found some bios but how do I get them to work?
[10:47] <fatejudger> crimsun: it says I can use a "custom" setting to output video using gstreamer
[10:47] <stinkball> spec okay
[10:47] <Spec> IseeIsee: yeap, you could do that
[10:47] <fatejudger> crimsun: is there a way to get a list of those extra settings?
[10:47] <Bog_> I'm unable to change my screen resolution in the gui.  how do I do it manually?
[10:47] <Spec> IseeIsee: and use the fat32 as a space to share files with windows
[10:47] <Spec> maxL: i don't know, sorry, i don't use visualboy :-
[10:47] <Spec> stinkball: hold on
[10:47] <maxL> Spec: XD
[10:48] <maxL> Spec: What do you use?
[10:48] <fatejudger> crimsun: FINALLY, I got it work
[10:48] <Spec> maxL: i don't play gameboy
[10:48] <IseeIsee> Spec: is 5GB enough for Ubuntu ?
[10:48] <Spec> IseeIsee: it's small, but it'll work, you'll run out of space quick
[10:48] <b166er> !sound
[10:48] <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
[10:48] <IseeIsee> I have to install JDK & some java development tools on top of it ?
[10:48] <maxL> Spec: On another topic though, what games do you play on ubuntu?
[10:48] <Infern0o> gatekeeper: i used my right as network admin and switched all pc's to wpa this night ^^
[10:48] <Spec> stinkball: okay, get back into the chroot: chroot /media/ubuntu
[10:48] <Spec> !games
[10:48] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[10:48] <Spec> maxL: ^^
[10:48] <Spec> stinkball: and do: grep -v rootfs /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab
[10:49] <Infern0o> gatekeeper: now the ubuntu wifi purs like a kitten :)
[10:49] <Spec> stinkball: grub-update;grub-install /dev/hda
[10:49] <fatejudger> crimsun: ok, do you have time for another smallish question, it's more of an opinion sort of thing
[10:49] <tnjb_> does anyone have an ip address out on the internet I can test to ping to see if my firewall is allowing it out?
[10:49] <sola6662> any1 know where i can download some gdesklet applets?
[10:49] <Spec> tnjb_: 4.2.2.1
[10:49] <gatekeeper> Infern0o: well done, even that can be broken but it is more secure than wep
[10:49] <Spec> !gdesklets
[10:49] <ubotu> gDesklets provides an advanced architecture for desktop applets -- tiny displays sitting on your desktop in a symbiotic relationship of eye candy and usefulness. Homepage is http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/
[10:49] <gatekeeper> Infern0o: excellent :-)
[10:49] <crimsun> fatejudger: if it's opinion, either query me or take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:50] <sola6662> lol thx xD
[10:50] <Spec> stinkball: how's the output now?
[10:50] <fyrestrtr> oookay ... my menu and desktop dissapeared.
[10:50] <Spec> fyrestrtr: i wouldn't click the button that you clicked that made them disappear if i were you :)
[10:51] <MTecknology> Spec, so does mindi make a boot disk to get to recovery from mondo?
[10:51] <Paddy_EIRE> Hi all I've recently got a problem with LimeWire and Frostwire, when I load either of them it crashes the whole os and I have to reset the comp by pressing the reset switch on the tower....I've not had this prob before
[10:51] <anosa> can anyone tell me what's the different between nfs and samba???
[10:51] <stinkball> spec: grub-update: command not found
[10:51] <tnjb_> spec: pings go out fine so not sure why traceroute didn't work.  I saw my router had the "DOS Defence" off which has a setting deny traceroute.  Anyway, that's not my problem for now.
[10:51] <B|nTaRa-> is there any other torrents clients i can use except bittorrent ?
[10:51] <Spec> MTecknology: yeap, they work in sync, all you have to do is have mindi installed and call mondoarchive (plus a whole bunch of options)
[10:51] <fyrestrtr> Spec: yeah, frostwire.
[10:51] <Spec> MTecknology: if you want some help on the options, join #mondo (i'm the only one there)
[10:51] <Spec> fyrestrtr: what?
[10:51] <fyrestrtr> strange, system is working, menu and desktop gone.
[10:51] <Paddy_EIRE> join
[10:51] <Imexius> whats a good app for resizing partitions like say my /home partition
[10:51] <Spec> fyrestrtr: oh, frostwire made everything go away? :-/
[10:51] <fyrestrtr> Spec: happened after I clicked a button on frostwire.
[10:51] <Spec> Imexius: gparted
[10:51] <IseeIsee> Spec: I want to merge the 2 unallocated spaces into 1 drive
[10:51] <Paddy_EIRE> QParted
[10:52] <Spec> IseeIsee: you can't, they're seperated because they're two different physical drives
[10:52] <fyrestrtr> well, not menu -- the top panel is gone, bottom panel is there.
[10:52] <kdean06> Anyone know what ubotu is? Like, chat bot program/script?
[10:52] <Spec> !ubotu
[10:52] <fyrestrtr> !ubotu
[10:52] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage

[10:54] <nubuntu> prophet, what
[10:54] <IseeIsee> nubuntu: i'm installing, I don't have the terminal here
[10:54] <nubuntu> prophet, because its ubuntu
[10:54] <Seveas> Spec, all of them 
[10:54] <stinkball> spec: /dev/hda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive
[10:54] <prophet> this whole concept is differnt
[10:54] <nubuntu> IseeIsee, ctrl alt f5 or something
[10:54] <kdean06> Seveas, Invite only.
[10:54] <prophet> maybe its because ive been using ubuntu for 3 days
[10:54] <stinkball> spec: /dev/hda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive
[10:54] <tnjb_> I did notice that you have a lot of people on the go at the moment spec
[10:54] <stinkball> oops

[10:56] <prophet> does it get better?
[10:56] <Ninja> can someone help me share a folder with a windows machine ???
 yeah
[10:56] <nubuntu> prophet, if you dont break the package manager before you get settled in, maybe
[10:56] <Seveas> cjc, a non-existing one. it's "import gtk.glade"
[10:56] <maxL> Does anyone know if any of the RPG MAKERS for windows will run in wine?
[10:56] <Paddy_EIRE> should

[10:56] <IseeIsee> nubuntu nothing happens on fdisk -l
[10:57] <prophet> well im trying to figure out why i can view these avi files and i installed or think i did some codec package and it still doesnt play, so i looked at what codec is being used its Xvid so i went to the website and ownload the tar file but i have no idea howto make it work, i tryed the /configure thing but nothing really happened and the instructions dont match up
[10:57] <Reimu> I am trying to get my floppy drive to work in ubuntu
[10:57] <nubuntu> IseeIsee, :/ um, well if you are installing you can work with the partitions however you want...unless the two unallocated spaces are seperated by an allocated partition
[10:57] <Reimu> What is the command that shows the name of the drive?
[10:57] <Spec> stinkball: i don't know what's wrong with your MBR :-/, i'm sorry
[10:57] <songo> how to see which linux version I have?
[10:57] <Spec> stinkball: I suppose you could try looking on the forums? :-/

[10:58] <nubuntu> Reimu, /dev/fd0 ?
[10:58] <Spec> songo: you want version of linux? uname -a
[10:58] <tjb891> i have a belkin 54mbps usb adapter and it freezes whenever i try to activate it in ubuntu,can anyone try to tell me how to make it work?
[10:58] <nubuntu> IseeIsee, ctrl alt f1 or something, try allt he f buttons
[10:59] <Reimu> nubuntu: well I added that to fstab but when I go mount fd0 or mount floppy0 it says it isn't in fstab
[10:59] <stinkball> spec: yeah... i tried that :-P i guess i have to look harder now
[10:59] <tnjb_> spec: I'm current running this ubuntu session from booting off the live CD so my /etc/hosts file is set as the default
[10:59] <Spec> stinkball: good luck
[10:59] <ToHellWithGA> i would like to format a minidisc to ext2 so i can use a persistent live CD session.  the minidisc has a 2048 block sector size instead of a 512 block sector size, so parted/gparted don't like to work with it.  any ideas?
[10:59] <songo> yes, and the so version?
[10:59] <prophet> i wanted to try this instead of windows but if you need to be a programmer to install a simple app its not really worth it..
[10:59] <nubuntu> Reimu, mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
[10:59] <Spec> tnjb_: is it still resolving google weirdly?
[10:59] <Spec> prophet: what are you trying to install?
[10:59] <Paddy_EIRE> Hi all I've recently got a problem with LimeWire and Frostwire, when I load either of them it crashes the whole os and I have to reset the comp by pressing the reset switch on the tower....I've not had this prob before
[10:59] <prophet> the xvid codec to see if i can view my AVI files
[10:59] <nubuntu> prophet, there's a huge learning curve for ubuntu
[10:59] <Reimu> nubuntu, ah, thanks, I heard the floppy drive
[10:59] <Spec> the curve is less than the curve of gentoo
[10:59] <Spec> >:)
[10:59] <prophet> its interesting to me but its so overwhelming.
[10:59] <nubuntu> Spec, yeah right
[10:59] <fatejudger> crimsun: PM
[10:59] <darich> it's well worth it tho'
[10:59] <gdb> There's a huge learning curve for Ubuntu?  In what context?
[11:00] <Spec> prophet: try using vlc: apt-get install vlc, be sure to have universe enabled
[11:00] <darich> I had a pig of time getting my Acer laptop to work
[11:00] <Spec> darich: what model?
[11:00] <Spec> darich: my acer laptop works wonderfully
[11:00] <gdb> I'd encourage people to use aptitude over apt-get!
[11:00] <darich> Acer Aspire 5021
[11:00] <Spec> i'd encourage people to wget and dpkg!
[11:00] <riwa> where can I get linux dcpp for ubuntu?
[11:00] <gdb> It makes uninstalling things a breeze.
[11:00] <skavenge> everything worked out of box on my dell laptop except wireless which was easily fixed
[11:00] <gdb> Spec: haha
[11:00] <IseeIsee> Spec: what if out of the 3.27 I assign 2 to / and rest to swap ?
[11:00] <bruenig> gdb, aptitude often times has you install way more than is necessary
[11:00] <tnjb_> spec: depends on what you mean by weirdly.  nslookup returns a few IP's.  I can't traceroute (anywhere) .  I can ping google.com (72.14.207.99).  when I try to go there in a browser, it tries to get to google.co.uk rather than google.com.  then it gives the error "the connection was reset"

[11:00] <da_flo> Hi. I'm on breezy and I installed fglrx to have hardware accel with my ATI gfx card. All went well, except that I am stuck with the screen resolution the driver gives me.
[11:00] <da_flo> I tried adding Option "NoDDC" to my xorg.conf, as I saw on various webpages, but it doesn't work. I found the following line in /var/log/Xorg.0.log : "(WW) fglrx(0): Option "NoDDC" is not used". Any idea about this ?
[11:00] <IseeIsee> Spec: and the 6 gb is for the rest of the ubuntu
[11:00] <Spec> IseeIsee: you could do that, but then you'd be installing ubuntu in 2 gigs of space ....
[11:01] <Spec> IseeIsee: you'd want / to be in 6gigs
[11:01] <darich> tho' my ATI gfx still ain't accelerated....
[11:01] <IseeIsee> oh
[11:01] <darich> while in Breezey it was
[11:01] <gdb> bruenig: Ah, how's that?  It uses the same dependancy information that apt does, no?
[11:01] <Spec> tnjb_: what the heck type of router are you behind? :p
[11:01] <prophet> yeah i like VLC i use it on xp but i thought i could get it to work on the movie player

[11:01] <prophet> another thing
[11:01] <oezguer> I installed streamviewer but i cant see it in menu :(???  how can i start it??
[11:01] <IseeIsee> spec: so basically I want that the 2 GB should also be used by ubuntu when it needs more space after 6 gb
[11:01] <Spec> prophet: i only use vlc :p
[11:01] <oezguer> streamtuner!!!
[11:01] <darich> I love it tho' spec
[11:01] <BFMV> can someone drop me a link HOW CAN I CHAGE THE UBUNTU MENU ICON?
[11:02] <tnjb_> spec: a draytech Vigor2600G
[11:02] <prophet> is there to automatically mount my NTFS partition? everytime i restart i need to remount it..?
[11:02] <gdb> BFMV: You know, I've wondered that myself. :-)
[11:02] <oezguer> I installed streamtuner but i cant see it in menu :(???  how can i start it??
[11:02] <tnjb_> spec: I have had it for ages working pretty good with my windows install
[11:02] <Spec> tnjb_: i don't know why it'd be resolving weirdly, what does your /etc/resolv.conf say now?
[11:02] <stephan21_> can i get enlightenment 17 on dapper
[11:02] <BFMV> gdb: what you mean?
[11:02] <nubuntu> prophet, the main mistake ubuntu makes is by not including any multimedia apps or codecs at all....so the first thing new users do is spend hours trying to get repositories set and such...and without music while working..id rather be killed
[11:02] <Spec> tnjb_: and what's your default route? (just type 'route' in terminal)
[11:02] <bruenig> gdb, i have tried it before. Do sudo aptitude install cowbell and then sudo apt-get cowbell, aptitude will have you install much more. I think that is the right example. It also happened with xbindkeys. At that point, unless I have something that requires tons of dependencies, like non native app, i just go with apt-get
[11:02] <skavenge> stephan21_: if you compile it yes, not from the repos
[11:03] <Spec> nubuntu: it's not a mistake
[11:03] <prophet> yay VLC did it thanks..
[11:03] <darich> well Edgy should solve that nubuntu
[11:03] <gdb> BFMV: You're asking how to change the menu icon, I assume, on the pull down menu bar at the top of the screen in Ubuntu.  I've often wondered how to do that, as well.
[11:03] <Guest477> ok this time i checked online first... no references that help me...

[11:03] <darich> some of the codec install ideas they've got brewing look pretty good
[11:03] <IseeIsee>  spec: so basically I want that the 2 GB should also be used by ubuntu when it needs more space after 6 gb
[11:03] <gdb> bruenig: Ah, I'll try that, yes.

[11:03] <BFMV> gdb: do you know that now?
[11:03] <nubuntu> i like my linux distro to at least be better than windows out of the box
[11:03] <Guest477> error numbers vary after 429237
[11:03] <skavenge> the multimedia codecs will -never- be included if they are nonfree, ala mp3, w32codecs, etc
[11:03] <tnjb_> can I copy and paste multiple lines from my terminal window into irc?
[11:03] <gdb> bruenig: that must require universe or multiverse ;-)
[11:04] <gdb> BFMV: No, I don't, I still wonder how. :-)
[11:04] <nubuntu> tnjb_, i wouldnt advise it
[11:04] <Spec> IseeIsee: you can use the 6gig, and mount the 2gig as a storage space
[11:04] <bruenig> gdb, yeah
[11:04] <BFMV> gdb: so lets find out
[11:04] <darich> they won't be included but they'll be made easier to install and find
[11:04] <Spec> IseeIsee: make 6gigs for /, 1 gig on the 3.27gig for swap, and the rest as fat32 to share files between windows,
[11:04] <IseeIsee> which format should I format the 2gig as ?
[11:04] <BFMV> can someone drop me a link HOW CAN I CHAGE THE UBUNTU MENU ICON?
[11:05] <Spec> IseeIsee: fat32
[11:05] <IseeIsee> ubuntu will detect fat32 ?
[11:05] <mborohovski> if i have a 40gig drive, would you advise to run 30gigs ubuntu, 10gigs windows?
[11:05] <Spec> BFMV: please dont' repeat and please don't use caps lik ethat
[11:05] <Seveas> !caps
[11:05] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[11:05] <starfire> sorry, that should read "apt-get update" & "apt-get install sun-java5-jre"
[11:05] <skavenge> darich: they're extemely easy to find and install right now, its all on the RestrictedFormatspage
[11:05] <Spec> IseeIsee: yes

[11:05] <Trazz> i am planning to run vmware on ubuntu and need to know how much memory to leave for ubuntu as the base os?
[11:05] <Seveas> and change that file
[11:05] <Spec> mborohovski: no, i would suggest 40 gigs ubuntu
[11:05] <Spec> Trazz: 256 megs is fine
[11:05] <tnjb_> spec: 192.168.2.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
[11:05] <mborohovski> Spec: good answer :)
[11:05] <Trazz> thanks :)
[11:05] <BFMV> Spec: Why not?
[11:05] <oezguer> I installed streamtuner but i cant see it in menu :(???  how can i start it??
[11:05] <tnjb_> spec: default         192.168.2.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0
[11:06] <gdb> BFMV: Well, the first thing to do is to determine which package provides the gnome applet called "Menu Bar".
[11:06] <mborohovski> Spec: However, I require Windows for certain applications like Finale
[11:06] <kdean06> Trazz, That depends on what you're doing. I run Doze in a virtual machine. I give it half of my memory (256) but I only ever run one.
[11:06] <Spec> mborohovski: 10 gigs then, but install windows on fat32 to make file sharing easier
[11:06] <anosa> how can i access a folder named with blablabla<space>blabla in terminal ??
[11:06] <Spec> tnjb_: and your router is 192.168.2.1, so that's good
[11:06] <skavenge> anosa: cd "this is the space"
[11:06] <Spec> tnjb_: what's /etc/resolv.conf say?
[11:06] <Trazz> kdean06, i want to run 3 machines if possibe.. i have 2 gigs of ram in teh box
[11:06] <BFMV> gdb: and then?
[11:06] <IseeIsee> Spec: you can even install Ubuntu on fat32 ?
[11:06] <Spec> IseeIsee: no, i doubt that
[11:07] <IseeIsee> Spec: 1 gig should be type "linux-swap" ?
[11:07] <Spec> IseeIsee: install it on ext3 on your 6gig disk, use the other disk for swap and extra space for sharing files
[11:07] <Spec> IseeIsee: yeap
[11:07] <BFMV> gdb: How?
[11:07] <mborohovski> Spec: does ubuntu not support ntfs reading?
[11:07] <Spec> mborohovski: it does
[11:07] <Spec> mborohovski: it doesn't support ntfs writing

[11:07] <anosa> skavenge ty
[11:07] <tjb891> work
[11:07] <BFMV> mborohovski: No! it doesnt
[11:07] <skavenge> np
[11:07] <Spec> mborohovski: you can write to ntfs with captive-ntfs, but it's not supported, nor is it reliable. (I use it, i've never had a problem, ... your choice :p)
[11:07] <Spec> !ntfs
[11:07] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[11:07] <Infern0o> Spec: but it does support fat32 writing, no?
[11:07] <Spec> Infern0o: yes
[11:07] <kdean06> Trazz, I've run Ubuntu "server" installs with 64 megs of ram. It can work then, but not too well.
[11:08] <Spec> that's why fat32 = good shares
[11:08] <Trazz> ok
[11:08] <mborohovski> !fuse
[11:08] <POVaddct> BFMV: ntfs reading is supported. however, ntfs writing is not.
[11:08] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[11:08] <Infern0o> Spec: ok so this should work: ntfs windows, fat32 partition and ext3 for linux?

[11:10] <Lobster> but in the next year there will be a new ntfs-driver for linux
[11:10] <Spec> BFMV: it's rude.
[11:10] <mborohovski> would you suggest installing windows first or ubuntu first?
[11:10] <skavenge> BFMV: you were already answered:  slocate distributor-logo , then change the icon
[11:10] <Paddy_EIRE> windows
[11:10] <Spec> mborohovski: windows
[11:10] <Paddy_EIRE> first

[11:10] <Paddy_EIRE> yeah
[11:10] <tnjb_> spec: thanks for your help.  I think I will take my laptop to work tomorrow and see if it makes a difference on that network.
[11:10] <Spec> IseeIsee: no, they'll install under the 6 gigs of /
[11:10] <skavenge> BFMV: slocate distributor-logo
[11:11] <Spec> tnjb_: yes, rule out that it's not the laptop :p
[11:11] <Paddy_EIRE> u can change this
[11:11] <skavenge> BFMV: and you need to replace those icons shown
[11:11] <IseeIsee> when do you think 6 gb space would run out ?
[11:11] <vaportrace> greetings
[11:11] <IseeIsee> also how many space would Ubuntu take to install ?

[11:12] <IseeIsee> tich: why are you switching to xubuntu ?
[11:12] <kdean06> starfire, You need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure you uncomment out the universe and multiverse repositories. The file is well explained in there.
[11:12] <tnjb_> spec: thank again!
 use easy_ubuntu
[11:12] <vaportrace> does anyone have a good tutorial link for setting up apache on Ubuntu or debian?
[11:12] <prophet> whats that
[11:13] <tich> IseeIsee, well nautilus wasn't working very well in ubuntu and i wanted to check it out i heard that it was faster
[11:13] <kdean06> vaportrace, What are you going to be using this for?
[11:13] <vaportrace> kdean06: a home based web server
[11:13] <skavenge> vaportrace: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/APACHE
[11:13] <kdean06> vaportrace, Okay, let me see what I cna find for you. I run my own with Dapper. :-)
[11:14] <IseeIsee> tich: what is nautilus ?
[11:14] <IseeIsee> gusy do we need antivirus softwares in Ubuntu ?
[11:14] <skavenge> IseeIsee: gnome's default file browser
[11:14] <gdb> BFMV: Looks like it's gnome-panel, which doesn't include any icons.  It could be compiled into the application or it could be reading it from somewhere else.  I'm digging a bit here.
[11:14] <vaportrace> Ya kdean06 am more like towards administration of the thing
[11:14] <prophet> whats easy_ubuntu
[11:14] <BFMV> after "slocate distributor-logo" i receive a list with 9 places! which one is the right one?
[11:14] <mborohovski> Spec:
[11:14] <mborohovski> whoops
[11:14] <kdean06> vaportrace, Have you looked at any of the control panels?
[11:14] <tich> nautilus is the program that runs most of the behind the scenes stuff in gnome. file management etc.
[11:14] <nasty_b> Hey guys. I'm currently using Ubuntu Desktop-AMD24 6.06. I love the "Add/Remove Programs" and "Synaptic", its great for installing popular packages that are on the list, such as mysql etc. However, I want to install something thats not on the list and I don't know how to do that. I downloaded the program I want to install, and then I extracted that file into a folder on my desktop. I am a complete linux newbie so could someone people h
[11:15] <mborohovski> Spec: see, i've used lilo since forever (under debian)
[11:15] <mborohovski> and i dont know jack about grub
[11:15] <kdean06> vaportrace, That can make it all a bit easier, and more fun to work with.,
[11:15] <skavenge> IseeIsee: no antivirus needed, unless you want to scan emails your sending out so your not a carrier ..
[11:15] <mborohovski> but iirc i installed debian first, added windows into lilo, and then installed windows onto the extra partition
[11:15] <vaportrace> kdean06: K
[11:15] <mborohovski> it never overwrote my mbr
[11:15] <IseeIsee> why don't we need an antivirus in linux ?
[11:15] <skavenge> IseeIsee: theres no viruses ;)
[11:15] <tich> is anyone familiar enough with xubuntu to help  me figure out how to get the menu button to work?
[11:15] <rysiek|pl> IseeIsee: you need an antivir on linux
[11:16] <IseeIsee> why ?
[11:16] <vaportrace> kdean06: thought apache was mostly command line driven and administrated
[11:16] <skavenge> rysiek|pl: uh no you dont
[11:16] <oezguer> how can i watch videos at google or web sites ? anycodes to install.. pls help...
[11:16] <mborohovski> Spec: how do i "rescue my grub"?
[11:16] <IseeIsee> does that means linux is open for anyone to make just 1 virus & send it through ?
[11:16] <BrokenSegue> what's a good general purpose IDE that runs under Ubuntu?
[11:16] <kdean06> vaportrace, I can point you to a tutorial for Apache2, MySQL, PHP, a decently secure e-mail setup and a control panel. It's a bit out of date as of... oh, last night, but I can point you to people who might know more. :-)
[11:16] <polpak> BrokenSegue: IDE for which language ?
[11:16] <rysiek|pl> skavenge: yeah, I know, "nobody writes virouses for linux" and "linux is such a safe system", blah blah
[11:16] <skavenge> IseeIsee: they have to have root to be able to do anything .. i think you need to look into linux security better
[11:17] <BrokenSegue> are there any general IDEs? Like visual studio? Mainly java.
[11:17] <vaportrace> kdean06: Hey its a direction :)
[11:17] <IseeIsee> skavenge i'm a newbie into linux world
[11:17] <mborohovski> IseeIsee: as long as you don't run everything as root (which you shouldn't), then even if you do get a "virus" it'll only, at maximum, affect your user
[11:17] <mborohovski> in which case you can login as root and deal with it
[11:17] <skavenge> exactly
[11:17] <IseeIsee> hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
[11:17] <kdean06> ryanakca, Linux isn't safe because "people don't target it". It has to do with the multiple layers opf permissions limiting damage if viruses do hit.
[11:17] <skavenge> rootkit's are what you need to worry about, and by default ubuntu blocks all incoming so unless you open a port to something your pretty safe
[11:17] <rysiek|pl> skavenge: but then, suddenly, somebody writes a pretty strong and able virous, using some security hole, and woot! thousands of systems go down
[11:18] <kdean06> vaportrace, Go ahead and join #ravencore on this server, I'm in there and we specialize in this stuff, you'll find some answers there. :-)
[11:18] <POVaddct> rysiek|pl: there are viruses for linux. but they won't run in many environments, because distros are too different. and if one runs a virus as non-root, the virus cannot do much.
[11:18] <oezguer> anycodes for flash to watch videos at webseites google..??? pls help
[11:18] <skavenge> rysiek|pl: are you a conspiracy theorist? ive run linux for 10 years and this hasnt happened yet
[11:18] <vaportrace> just a thought, anyone know how many of the protected ring processor modes linux actually uses?
[11:18] <mborohovski> POVaddct: right. and if you're running anything as root without already knowing its a virus, thats _your_ fault
[11:18] <skavenge> rysiek|pl: with no antivirus
[11:18] <vaportrace> kdean06: thanks for the help will try them
[11:18] <Spec> mborohovski: umm
[11:18] <Spec> !grub

[11:18] <Spec> mborohovski: ^^
[11:19] <Spec> mborohovski: we were talking about 'recoveringubuntuafterinstallingwindows' right? :p
[11:19] <oezguer> anycodes or something for FLASH to watch videos at webseites google..??? pls help
[11:19] <amortvigil> !easysource
[11:19] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[11:19] <mborohovski> Spec: i hatechu :p
[11:19] <Spec> mborohovski: i used to use lilo, then i used grub a few years back ... grub is way better than lilo will ever hope to be
[11:19] <rysiek|pl> skavenge, POVaddct: i prefer to have this 1% CPU less because of ClamAV then to find out that after those 10 years somebody finally found a way to write a virous for linux
[11:19] <POVaddct> mborohovski: well, anyone who is working as root all the time is a complete idiot
[11:19] <ryanakca> kdean06: what the bleep are you talking about?
[11:19] <mborohovski> POVaddct: agreed.
[11:20] <TaF> can anyone tell me why my live cd will not load the kernel?
[11:20] <skavenge> rysiek|pl: well thats a personal issue .. aliens might land some day but i dont lock myself in an underground bunker
[11:20] <POVaddct> rysiek|pl: btw, doesn't clamAV only scan for win32 viruses?
[11:20] <skavenge> its not scanning for 'linux' viruses i know that
[11:20] <yoshiznit123> hey everyone, i have a command line question
[11:20] <rysiek|pl> POVaddct: nope. all virouses they can lay their hands on
[11:20] <IseeIsee> what is it that Ubuntu has what Mandriva does not have ?
[11:20] <ryanakca> kdean06: I haven't spokent in here since before lunch... 8 hours ago...
[11:20] <kdean06> ryanakca, My apologies, mistab.
[11:20] <rysiek|pl> IseeIsee: apt
[11:21] <IseeIsee> or to say why would Ubuntu be better
[11:21] <jchico> hello, are there any guides on how I can get my PSP detected by Ubuntu?
[11:21] <ryanakca> kdean06: np
[11:21] <Guest477> honestly, with a reasonable amount of precaution... running windows 15 years or so, i have never once contracted a virus or malicious software
[11:21] <TaF> can anyone tell me why my live cd wont boot kernel?
[11:21] <POVaddct> rysiek|pl: the linux viruses are just proof-of-concept thingies
[11:21] <yoshiznit123> how would i rename all the files in a directory (some of which have spaces) if i have a sed command to do it?
[11:21] <skavenge> rysiek|pl: it needs a database of virii before it can find them .. wheres the linux database?
[11:21] <polpak> BrokenSegue: there are some editors, eclipse is the only full fledged ide I know of
[11:21] <definity> i need some help when i go to use dpkg i get the erorr msg saying dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[11:21] <rysiek|pl> skavenge: go read at clamav's website. they have their own db
[11:22] <Guest477> skavenge>> i been waiting for that lol
[11:22] <POVaddct> rysiek|pl: if a "real" virus for linux has been seen in the wild, the net would know
[11:22] <Guest477> no virus defs no antivirus
[11:22] <definity> any one knw what the problem could be?
[11:22] <krism> definity: is "synaptic" or another instance of apt-get running?
[11:22] <ryanakca> definity: clsoe aptitude or adept or synaptic... or anyother package manager :)
[11:22] <jchico> how come Ubuntu can't find /dev/sd* devices on my comp?
[11:22] <krism> definity: or the ubuntu update app updating?
[11:22] <skavenge> rysiek|pl: 'a' database though, i doubt theres even 'linux' virii in it
[11:22] <definity> oh thanks :)
[11:22] <rysiek|pl> POVaddct: great. and in that very moment I would definetely prefer myself on the other side of the antivirus wall ;)
[11:22] <prophet> where can u get more themes for ubuntu?
[11:23] <rysiek|pl> skavenge: just let me check
[11:23] <nasty_b> I'm currently using Ubuntu Desktop-AMD24 6.06. I love the "Add/Remove Programs" and "Synaptic", its great for installing popular packages that are on the list, such as mysql etc. However, I want to install something thats not on the list and I don't know how to do that. I downloaded the program I want to install, and then I extracted that file into a folder on my desktop. I am a complete linux newbie so could someone people help me out
[11:23] <Jesus> Did anyone write to me... cuz I was out for like two hours and I missed it. If you are still here, send it again.
[11:23] <Jesus> All: my Delete button got redefined as $xscreensaver-command -lock. It's pretty annoying, anyone know how to undo that?
[11:23] <polpak> rysiek|pl: how would an antivirus protect you from virii that are unknown/undeveloped ?
[11:23] <POVaddct> rysiek|pl: you still don't see that a virus cannot infect the system when executed with user rights
[11:23] <mborohovski> Spec: so if i install linux then windows, i shouldnt REALLY have a problem, right?
[11:23] <prophet> nasty there is some kind of configure file u need to run "./configure" after that i have no idea
[11:23] <Spec> mborohovski: you'll need to follow that guide
[11:23] <rysiek|pl> POVaddct: man, have you heard about something called "bugs" and "priviledge escalation"?
[11:24] <Spec> mborohovski: but you won't really have a problem :p
[11:24] <POVaddct> rysiek|pl: of course i have
[11:24] <nasty_b> hmm...
[11:24] <skavenge> there are very few services that even have the potential for holes
[11:24] <POVaddct> rysiek|pl: that's why frequent kernel updating / patching is recommended
[11:24] <mnp> crimsun: non of the other acpi options work; i tried: pci=noacpi, pci=noapic, and acpi=noirq
[11:24] <rysiek|pl> polpak: ofcourse, somebody will go down. but then somebody will send the virous file to the DB team and woot - there you have a definition in the db
[11:24] <yoshiznit123> how do i rename all the files in a directory (some of which have spaces) if i have a sed command to do it? something like for i in `ls`; do mv $i `echo $i | sed -e "some sed"`; done, except it doesn't work cuz of spaces
[11:25] <rysiek|pl> polpak: that's the way "evben" windows' virouses db's work, btw
[11:25] <Lobster> n8
[11:25] <polpak> rysiek|pl: most of the OSS community is more concerned with how the virus infected the system in the first place (what exploit, etc was used) rather than cleaning them up when they appear
[11:26] <polpak> rysiek|pl: which is why there are ~no virii available
[11:26] <tzfardea> hey, can you help me please? i can't play audio CDs from the cdrom using xmms
[11:26] <skavenge> i cant find anything on the clamav website database list for anything linux virri related
[11:26] <tzfardea> im using ubuntu 6.06
[11:26] <oezguer> anycodes or something for FLASH to watch videos at webseites google..??? pls help
[11:26] <ryanakca> yoshiznit123: Bulk Rename from Xubuntu... aptitude search it :)
[11:26] <polpak> rysiek|pl: as soon as a potential exploit is identified it gets patched. Typically this occurs long before any virii appear to exploit the flaw
[11:26] <Expedia> can you extract with tar and destroy the .tar file while extracting?
[11:27] <yoshiznit123> ryanakca, im not running xfce :-) surely theres a way to do it from the command line though?
[11:27] <polpak> rysiek|pl: if you prefer, you can think of all your open source software as being your antivirus software
[11:27] <POVaddct> Expedia: afaik no
[11:27] <_absolution_> hey how do you get videoplay back on a dvd player.....it wont work
[11:27] <polpak> !dvd
[11:27] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html. Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[11:27] <rysiek|pl> polpak: of course. usually. but 1. you can never be too cautious, 2. remember that most AV software have heuristics. they don't really need a def to identify a virous
[11:27] <ryanakca> yoshiznit123: yes, since you can do it from xfce... but theres a catch
[11:28] <ryanakca> yoshiznit123: I don't know how :)
[11:28] <skavenge> _absolution_: instructions under restrictedformats on the wiki as well
[11:28] <POVaddct> polpak: well thats a bit too simple. although the kernel sources are open to anyone, there are still security relevant bugs in it that show up months later.
[11:28] <rysiek|pl> skavenge: a virous for Linux, especially for you, in the ClamAV database is, for egzample, Backdoor.Linux.Suki.A
[11:28] <POVaddct> polpak: of course, once they are found, the get fixed rather quick
[11:28] <polpak> POVaddct: yes, and they get fixed.. historically this occurs before any virii appear
[11:29] <polpak> POVaddct: so how will your av software do better than that?
[11:29] <skavenge> rysiek|pl: and what does it infect?
[11:29] <mnp> im having trouble with my soundcard not being assigned an IRQ. crimsun was helping me before. is crimsun still around?
[11:29] <amortvigil> what do i do wrong my apache keep saying : apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
[11:29] <rysiek|pl> skavenge: you asked if there are Linux virouses defs in the DB, you have been answered. you can check for yourself
[11:30] <skavenge> rysiek|pl: point is it doesnt do anything without root
[11:30] <crazy_penguin> i wish a good night to all! sleep well! :)
[11:30] <POVaddct> polpak: i didnt say that to promote av software. i just wanted to say that open source is not a guarantee for secure software.
[11:30] <rysiek|pl> skavenge: possibly. but, as I said, I prefer to have a wee bit of protection too much, rather than too little
[11:31] <rysiek|pl> POVaddct: agreed
[11:31] <POVaddct> polpak: but its still better than keeping the source closed
[11:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Cool, I just installed the FPS game Sauerbraten and it is very well done.. and free...
[11:32] <Spec> !games
[11:32] <Da_Putzler> hi guys, can someone help me with a makefile problem ?
[11:32] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[11:32] <Spec> Jack_Sparrow: check out the ubuntu site
[11:32] <polpak> rysiek|pl: av software is by definition a conflict of intrest
[11:32] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: wtf is sauerbraten?
[11:32] <skavenge> any of that has to have an open port to get to you as well, which if you run a tight system limits the ability to get in at all
[11:32] <Spec> Jack_Sparrow: i think there's two FPSs that are linked that are both OSS - i haven't tried them yet though
[11:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Spec: I wasnt impressed with that site info
[11:32] <Spec> Jack_Sparrow: maybe the icculus one was good then
[11:32] <rysiek|pl> skavenge: of course! same goes to windows' users! if you don't use root account all the time, keep your ports shut and so on and so forth
[11:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Cube and Sauerbraten are both good
[11:33] <rysiek|pl> polpak: how come?
[11:33] <Da_Putzler> hi guys, can someone help me with a makefile problem ?
[11:33] <prophet> anyone suggestions on why the XMMS player plays my mp3s distorted?>
[11:33] <Spec> Jack_Sparrow: I was referring to: cube http://www.cubeengine.com/ and Nexuiz http://www.nexuiz.com/
[11:33] <polpak> rysiek|pl: they don't solve real problems, only provide bandaids for "current" problems. If there are no more virii, there are no more av programs
[11:33] <Spec> polpak: so, it's my personal belief that anti-virii companies create the virii themself - they have everything to gain
[11:33] <polpak> rysiek|pl: it is in their best intrest that people create vulnerable software, and that others create software to exploit it
[11:34] <rysiek|pl> skavenge: the problem is, there usually *is* something you missed. and a small utility that keeps a look-out on such a possibility is not much of a burden, but *can* be much of a help
[11:34] <POVaddct> rysiek|pl: many-lines-of-defense strategy?
[11:34] <Da_Putzler> Could I ask someone to compile a program for me please ? I am having no luck on this end... it's real tiny
[11:34] <polpak> Spec: they certainly promote and utalize fear based propaganda to ensure users continue to come to them for av updates
[11:34] <rysiek|pl> polpak: agreed. does that mean that AV software is *bad*? in that case, let's fire all the policemen and firefighters, on the same grounds
[11:34] <skavenge> rysiek|pl: all ports incoming are denied by default, so 'missing' something means you opened it intentionally
[11:35] <rysiek|pl> POVaddct: something like that, yeah
[11:35] <mumbles-laptop> ok my ubuntu install isent working
[11:35] <Spec> polpak: i do not believe that they do not write/search for exploits themselves
[11:35] <mborohovski> danm it. my ms license agreement with mit expired. wonder if i can get it renewed
[11:35] <Spec> polpak: :)
[11:35] <POVaddct> rysiek|pl: as long as the different mechanisms don't interfere, its okay
[11:35] <paddyvaughan> hello
[11:35] <rysiek|pl> POVaddct: agreed againg
[11:35] <Da_Putzler> hi guys, can someone help me with a makefile problem ?
[11:36] <Seveas> !someone
[11:36] <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?
[11:36] <nubuntu> does anyone know what im going to ask next?
[11:36] <polpak> rysiek|pl: the criminal justice system is similiarly  flawed yes. Rather than removing/relieving the social and economic pressures that promote crime, they just lock people up for an abitrary interval, release them, and repeat
[11:36] <TaF> why doesnt my ubuntu live cd boot the kernel?
[11:36] <IseeIsee> I think Ubuntu still takes alot of time to startup, they need to improve here
[11:36] <rysiek|pl> skavenge: the history has shown two things: 1. there is always one more vulnerability/configuration error you missed; 2. people don't learn from history
[11:36] <nubuntu> TaF, did you check its md5sum before you burned it?
[11:36] <Seveas> IseeIsee, you should guess what the goals are for edgy ;)
[11:36] <TaF> no'
[11:37] <b1shop> anyone have a list of streaming radio stations that work with the xmms applet?
[11:37] <nubuntu> TaF, maybe it got corrupted
[11:37] <IseeIsee> what is edgy ?
[11:37] <b1shop> <-- bored!  ;-)
[11:37] <polpak> rysiek|pl: but you already said that av won't actually help against 0-day virii
[11:37] <skavenge> rysiek|pl: *shrug* if you know what your doing it isnt difficult, but to each his own
[11:37] <arooni-linux> is there  keyboard shortcut to switching desktops
[11:37] <TaF> i mean, i can get the boot menu to come up, i can choose my boot options...
[11:37] <POVaddct> rysiek|pl: ehm, what was the second part. i forgot...   :))
[11:37] <polpak> rysiek|pl: good security policies do
[11:37] <Seveas> !edgy > IseeIsee
[11:37] <rysiek|pl> polpak: ok, now we're getting to sociology, politics and philosophy, a bit OT ;)
[11:37] <polpak> rysiek|pl: you started it
[11:37] <TaF> but when it says"booting the kernel"
[11:37] <TaF> it craps out
[11:37] <b1shop> POVaddct, crtl+alt+ right/left arrot
[11:38] <soyvisita> i have a problem
[11:38] <rysiek|pl> polpak: yeah, and I'm prepared to take the blame
[11:38] <Jesus> All: my Delete button got redefined as $xscreensaver-command -lock. It's pretty annoying, anyone know how to undo that?
[11:38] <POVaddct> b1shop: huh?
[11:38] <Seveas> rysiek|pl, polpak: you might want to continue in #ubuntu-offtopic 
[11:38] <rysiek|pl> POVaddct: second part of what?
[11:38] <Jack_Sparrow> TaF: What video card what cpu, any other OS on that box
[11:38] <rysiek|pl> Seveas: good point
[11:38] <POVaddct> rysiek|pl: just kidding. the "2. people don't learn from history"
[11:39] <arooni-linux> folks
[11:39] <Spec> sweet release of death!
[11:39] <Spec> i mean, done with work. see ya'll

[11:39] <TaF> jack_sparrow, intel laptop, no other os. 82852 mobo
[11:39] <rysiek|pl> POVaddct: lol, right, man am I dumb
[11:39] <Jack_Sparrow> arooni-linux: alt ctrl arrow left or right.. something like that
[11:40] <arooni-linux> Jack_Sparrow: thats it
[11:40] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[11:40] <Da_Putzler> <---- needs help with MAKEFILE problem
[11:40] <Jack_Sparrow> taf, try the vesa and some other boot options
[11:40] <TaF> i did
[11:40] <abo> arooni-linux: ctrl+alt + right   (or left)
[11:40] <TaF> i tried every boot option available
[11:41] <Ayabara> anyone got a good torrent client to recommend? I've been using azureus, but I just don't like it..
[11:41] <Seveas> Da_Putzler, why don't you just ask your question?
[11:41] <rysiek|pl> polpak: yeah, but good security policies maigh have a flaw somewhere. and you just have one single chance more that you will actually *have* the virous filtered by the AV system, even though the policies failed at some point. that's enough for me to use AV's on Linux. Nothing lost, wee bit gained.
[11:41] <rysiek|pl> and no more OT from me here, I promise ;)
[11:41] <arooni-linux> is there a way of getting ubuntu to appear on two monitors (one bigger montior combined) ?? (i'm using dapper & vmware workstation )
[11:41] <Da_Putzler> I got the source from here: http://download.berlios.de/beepmedialib/BeepMediaLibrary-0.12.tar.gz and ran the make command and it wont compile properly...
[11:41] <starfire> I've tried adding universe and multiverse but that still doesn't help -can't install sun-java5-jure
[11:41] <starfire> anymore ideas?
[11:41] <Jack_Sparrow> TaF: there are some manual entries you can try, but it is better to find a distro that has the best drivers for your hardware, Intel laptops are not terribly OS friendly except for windows
[11:42] <starfire> sun-java5-jre I mean
[11:42] <rysiek|pl> To get On Topic and make the ops less hate me: I remember there is a way of doing this, but I can't recall how; manpages also didn't help here. Suppose I have two repo's in sources.list (A and B), which, among other packages, hold two different versions of package some.deb. The B repo is more up-to-date but apt clearly uses the A repo. how to tell apt to use repo B for package some.deb, and only for this package?
[11:42] <nasty_b> Hey guys when I type ./configure to install a program I get this error (|| indicates a line change): ./configure: line 273: cc: command not found || big/little test failed || error, no memalign() but sse enabled, either disable it or use --enable-memalign-hack
[11:42] <polpak> rysiek|pl: meh.. I think the history of OSS and it's almost nonexistant virii instances speaks for itself
[11:43] <rysiek|pl> polpak: #ubuntu-offtopic, shall we? ;)
[11:43] <polpak> nasty_b: did you install build-essential
[11:43] <nasty_b> Not that I know of
[11:43] <POVaddct> rysiek|pl: i only know how to specify a version number: apt-get install packagename=number
[11:43] <markit86> nasty_b: did you install gcc
[11:43] <polpak> rysiek|pl: nah.. I'm done. You won't convince me. And you won't be convinced. Little point in continuing ;p
[11:43] <Seveas> !tell nasty_b about compiling
[11:43] <mis1> how do I launch an app *before* another? I have to launch an app and wait for it too finish loading *before* trying to launch the next... am writing sh script now and don't know how to do this :(
[11:43] <mborohovski> !install
[11:43] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[11:43] <starfire> E: Package sun-java5-jre has no installation candidate    How do I solve this???
[11:44] <TaF> thanx jack
[11:44] <rysiek|pl> POVaddct: thx anyways :)
[11:44] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[11:44] <rysiek|pl> polpak: yeah, you're probably right :)
[11:44] <polpak> starfire: sudo apt-get install sun-java5-bin
[11:44] <jchico> can anyone help me on how come Ubuntu doesn't detect sd* devices on my system?
[11:44] <polpak> starfire: and be sure to get the universe repos
[11:45] <smong> every time i try and use screen it says "Must be connected to a terminal." i am even using ssh with the -t option
[11:45] <Da_Putzler> <--- could somone compile a little file for me please, I dont know what I am doing wrong this side: here's the source: http://download.berlios.de/beepmedialib/BeepMediaLibrary-0.12.tar.gz
[11:45] <polpak> Da_Putzler: perhaps if you said what the error was
[11:45] <POVaddct> smong: in which environment do you use screen?
[11:46] <Da_Putzler> I get a "gtk+-2.0 was not gound in pkg-config search path".. but cant find the package to install
[11:46] <Seveas> Da_Putzler, libgtk2.0-dev
[11:46] <skavenge> you need the gtk devs
[11:46] <smong> POVaddct, i'm using ssh if thats what you mean
[11:46] <tuxtux> ciao
[11:46] <Da_Putzler> thanks, will give it a go
[11:46] <POVaddct> smong: you use ssh to log in and then run screen?
[11:46] <gregg__> jchico: you scsi adapter isn't detected?
[11:47] <smong> POVaddct, yes
[11:47] <starfire> polpak: cant find sun-java-bin either, tried universe and multiverse also...
[11:47] <Da_Putzler> all of this for 1 little plugin... man
[11:47] <POVaddct> smong: which machine do you ssh to?
[11:47] <mnp> Spec: do you think you could help me where crimsun left off?
[11:47] <jchico> gregg__: nevermind, I found out what was the problem
[11:47] <smong> POVaddct: er its a rented server
[11:47] <gregg__> ok
[11:47] <Seveas> starfire, sun-java5-bin (only exists on i386)
[11:47] <POVaddct> smong: seems it is not installed properly
[11:48] <POVaddct> smong: after a ssh login, there should be a controlling terminal
[11:48] <livecd64> During boot up of the newly installed system, i get PCI listing, then it lists ACPI 9, then everything stops ...
[11:48] <POVaddct> smong: what is the output of the "tty" command before running screen?
[11:48] <smong> POVaddct, with ls -l the group is utmp, is that correct?
[11:48] <starfire> seveas: you lost me, im running i386, just need to get java working
[11:49] <Jack_Sparrow> livecd64: what video card in that beast
[11:49] <smong> POVaddct, aha it says "not a tty"
[11:49] <POVaddct> smong: the group of what?
[11:49] <smong> POVaddct, the screen program, ls -l /usr/bin/screen
[11:49] <POVaddct> smong: the ownership of the screen binary is not important for that
[11:49] <livecd64> a cheap HIS Radeon from ATI, Jack_Sparrow.
[11:50] <starfire> seveas: E: Package sun-java5-bin has no installation candidate
[11:50] <Jack_Sparrow> livecd64: Youll need to read the bot
[11:50] <Jack_Sparrow> !ati
[11:50] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:50] <POVaddct> smong: somehow after ssh login, the shell has no controlling tty (f*cked up ssh and/or login config?)
[11:51] <Seveas> starfire, search for java in applicatinos  add applications
[11:51] <smong> POVaddct, hmm. i did try su - <my login name>, but i doubt that would make any difference
[11:51] <livecd64> Thank you, Jack_Sparrow. Using the LiveCD it works though ...
[11:51] <amortvigil> how to undo a symlink?
[11:51] <nubuntu> rm
[11:51] <Jack_Sparrow> livecd probably in vesa mode
[11:52] <POVaddct> smong: it makes a difference. because the controlling tty's owner is still root, not your user.
[11:52] <POVaddct> smong: you must do a real login as that user, not su - username from root.
[11:52] <livecd64> Can i use vesa mode for the installed system, Jack_Sparrow ?
[11:53] <smong> POVaddct, i dont have root access, i was logging in again with what i used to connect to ssh with
[11:53] <Jack_Sparrow> livecd64: You have been through the livecd and run the install icon on the desktop correct?
[11:53] <polpak> !info sun-java5-bin
[11:53] <ubotu> sun-java5-bin: Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0. In repository multiverse, is optional. Version 1.5.0-06-1 (dapper), package size 21625 kB, installed size 65608 kB
[11:54] <livecd64> yes, Jack_Sparrow.
[11:54] <polpak> starfire: it's in multiverse.. either you don't have the repo enabled or you haven't updated your package listings
[11:54] <Cooner750> Can someone here please send me a copy of the Ubuntu Dapper sources.list with extra repositories enabled?
[11:54] <POVaddct> smong: ah okay. but i don't think that helps.
[11:54] <Da_Putzler> POV: I've installed gtk2 dev files and tried again, it still wont compile... looking for BMP package which doesnt exist...
[11:54] <smong> POVaddct, i have tried from putty and ssh on a livecd, so is it likely to be the login script that is messing it up?
[11:54] <starfire> Seveas: from the Applications menu?, don't have Add applications as an option, only add/remove programs and the search in there can't find it
 Could u send me the same list as mine is a little broken
[11:54] <Cooner750> If I can find one I will
[11:55] <Jack_Sparrow> livecd64: LEt me boot a spare PC for a sec..?
[11:55] <Paddy_EIRE> cheers
[11:55] <Seveas> starfire, ah!
[11:55] <Seveas> then you're not on dapper 
[11:55] <POVaddct> smong: maybe they don't want users to run interactive tools on that machine
[11:55] <Cooner750> Paddy_EIRE: I think I will use this one: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185758
[11:55] <Cooner750> Seems ok
[11:55] <starfire> Seveas: I'm on 6.06 LTS
[11:55] <Paddy_EIRE> nice one mate
[11:55] <POVaddct> smong: which login shell is set for your user?
[11:55] <livecd64> Jack_Sparrow: I am trying with Kubuntu now, is that different in that respect ?
[11:56] <Seveas> starfire, then you've succeeded in thoroughly confusing me
[11:56] <smong> POVaddct, it looks like bash and TERM is set to rxvt
[11:56] <javiolo> hi
[11:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Damn, you could have told me that 10 seconds ago..
[11:56] <Seveas> starfire, could you put /etc/apt/sources.list on the pastebin
[11:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry
[11:56] <javiolo> anyone here uses enlightenment ?
[11:56] <livecd64> i am slow ...
[11:57] <Guest777> somehow i doubt it lol
[11:57] <Jack_Sparrow> livecd64: I have a PC here that did that same thing on Kubuntu but has worked flawlessly with Ubuntu
[11:57] <IseeIsee> is Google Talk available on Ubuntu ?
[11:58] <Seveas> IseeIsee, you can use any jabber client, like gaim, gajim, psi....
[11:58] <Jack_Sparrow> I dont know that gaim supports google talk yet, but it may work
[11:58] <Seveas> it does
[11:58] <smong> POVaddct, SHELL is set to /bin/sh
[11:58] <livecd64> Aha. I could not install the ATI driver if the system does not boot, or could i ?
[11:58] <starfire> Seveas: sorry, probably me being stupid.
[11:58] <POVaddct> smong: and /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/bash?
[11:58] <starfire> Seveas: simon@starcat:/etc/apt$ cat sources.list

[11:59] <Seveas> what's so difficult about using a pastebin
[11:59] <mborohovski> now when partitioning, all ext3, fat32, and swap partitions should be primary?
[11:59] <skavenge> ;)
[11:59] <Shak-> where are the wifi module files stored in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)? specifically ipw2200
[11:59] <Seveas> Shak-, slocate ipw2200

[12:00] <seanism> what IRC clients do you guys use?
[12:00] <POVaddct> smong: hmmm
